PORT PERRY, Ont. — Three people were killed and two others were seriously injured in a collision northeast of Toronto, provincial police said Saturday.
Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the crash happened in the early hours of Saturday morning, when an SUV crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a car in Port Perry, Ont.
"The scene was absolutely devastating," he said.
The 59-year-old man driving the car and two female passengers, aged 55 and 44, were pronounced dead at the scene, Schmidt said, adding that a 41-year-old woman who was also in the car was in hospital in critical condition.
He said the 68-year-old man driving the SUV is also in hospital with serious injuries.
Schmidt said no charges have been laid, but police are still investigating the cause of the crash.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- Severe and widespread flooding several weeks ago in Queensland - Australia's main coal producing region - sent shock waves through the already under-supplied coking coal market. Prices briefly ratcheted up to what some termed hysterical levels. They have since retreated and normalized to a degree, but there will be long-term effects that will leave some steelmakers very hard pressed.
Coking coal (also known as metallurgical coal) is essential for making steel using conventional methods to melt iron ore. A majority of the world's steel could not be made without such coal, which is relatively rare compared with the steam (thermal) coal typically used in heating and electricity generation. Coking coal was already in tight supply prior to the flooding in Queensland.
Lost coking coal production in Queensland meanwhile could exceed 15 million tonnes, a shortfall that cannot quickly be remedied, according to Gerard McCloskey of McCloskey Group, who spoke last week at the annual Investing in African Mining Indaba conference here. Additional supplies are coming from previously untapped or underutilized sources, he said, but added that new export restrictions in some countries will nullify some of these gains.
"Can Australia and the rest of the coking coal market make up the lost tonnage in the balance of the year? The answer is: no," McCloskey said. "Some people will not be able to make steel because of what is happening in Queensland," he stated.
In an attempt to close the supply-demand gap, new coking coal sources are being developed and existing production is being exported in greater quantities from Indonesia, Russia, Mozambique and Mongolia. Even Colombia exported a small amount of coal (10 million tonnes) to Asia last year, McCloskey said. Infrastructure upgrades may make some regions more viable as exporters. In particular, planned rail links may soon access remote Russian and Mongolian supplies. Meanwhile, South Africa, Indonesia and China have instituted or are considering coal export restrictions in order to ensure supplies to their own steel sectors.
In 2011 Canada and Mongolia will export a little bit more than usual. US producers also will export more, but these will generally be poorer quality coals (for blending) that are normally sold into the domestic steam coal market, McCloskey said. This year also will likely see a major surge in US port activity, including development or expansion of coal loading facilities on the Columbia River and at Cherry Point in Washington state; expansions in the Mid-Atlantic region at Lamberts Point in Virginia, and Baltimore, Maryland; plus the addition of Nova Scotia in eastern Canada as a loading point, he added.
US producers have steadily expanded coking coal exports in recent years, from 37 million tonnes in 2009, to 55 million tonnes in 2010. This year, US exports are forecast to reach 65 million tonnes. much of which will be in the form of relatively low grade blending coals. These factors will help to restrain prices.
China and India will continue to be major importers of coking coal, McCloskey said. This will happen despite plans by US coal producer Peabody Energy to help develop coal reserves in the Xinjiang region of far northwest China.
"I believe China has a major problem with its hard coking coal reserves. The boys in Shanxi Province, who produce the bulk of (China's coking) coal, say future growth will all come from Xinjiang," McCloskey said.
The region produced 86 million tonnes last year but has the potential to ramp up to a billion tonnes annually by 2020, McCloskey said, citing Peabody. The remoteness of the region could be a problem, however, he added.
"Industry will move (to Xinjiang); the coal will not move to the coastal provinces. (But) 75% of steelmaking in China is on the coast. I do not see Xinjiang having sufficient infrastructure to provide the 550 million tonnes of coking coal that China now consumes (annually) ... so I see that China stays as a big importer going forward," McCloskey said.
The pricing panic that broke out in relation to the Queensland floods has now subsided, and coking coal prices have corrected for the most part, McCloskey said. Also acting to restrain prices, he noted, is the fact that underlying steel prices are nowhere near the levels they reached during the in early 2008 Australian flooding.
"People who talk about $400/tonne coking coal prices-well, take it with a pinch of salt," McCloskey said. Even so, prices for poorer-quality US blending coals have risen by about $100/tonne over the past month, he added.
"We were already going to have a difficult year even before the Queensland flooding. Most people have solid long term contracts. ... Anyone who's tendering I believe is not going to get their tonnages. It's just impossible," McCloskey said.

Dispute resolution during a pandemic time
分享此页面
Ewelina Stobiecka

How do you resolve disputes when the courts are not functioning? Where do you go for help regarding a business dispute at this time? What about disputes which are already pending in court?
These and other questions are undoubtedly being asked by entrepreneurs at this difficult time for the economy and business. Entrepreneurs also review their contracts in search of clauses related to force majeure or extraordinary situations – and since contracts are written for hard times, they will undoubtedly find such clauses in many contracts and apply them.
The question remains, however, how to resolve disputes in a situation where the courts do not function and the parties have agreed to resolve possible conflicts by a competent common court. What should entrepreneurs whose cases already pending in the courts are being dismissed and (probably) will find themselves at the end of the queue in an already overloaded court system?
Of course, contracts may also include a clause for an arbitration court, the so-called arbitration clause which allows bypassing the common court. The question arises, however, whether the arbitration courts – even if they are functioning – will be able to deal with the case? Considering the rather high formality of the arbitration procedure, it may transpire that at this particular time when entrepreneurs are currently operating, arbitration courts will not be able to proceed normally. Any dispute resolution by a court(common or arbitration) involves meetings of the parties, experts, witnesses during a hearing or court session, which requires the participation of at least a few people.
Inevitably, practice will show how far arbitral tribunals will be able to adapt to the situation. However, entrepreneurs who have a business dispute or whose dispute has just "become bogged down" in a common court may use other alternative dispute resolution methods. Any dispute can be resolved through commercial mediation, which in turn may prove to be quite an effective tool that can also be used during a pandemic.
Mediation as a remedy for difficult times
Commercial mediation has been experiencing a revival in Poland in recent years. Mainly the legislative environment for mediation, including a number of subsequent amendments to the law are aimed at encouraging entrepreneurs to mediate.
Mediation is a highly informal method of resolving disputes in business, which, in addition, is several times cheaper than court proceedings or arbitration proceedings. Mediation can also be carried out using various means of distance communication (by video- or teleconference, or even in writing online).
Mediation in participation with a mediator can be carried out without their direct contact ie at present, without a threat to their health.
No special contractual arrangement between the parties is needed to use mediation. Mediation can also take place without a specific referral to a court when the parties themselves decide to have mediation conducted by an independent mediator of their choice or by an independent, specialised mediation centre (so-called private mediation). In fact, mediation can not only resolve an existing dispute, but can also "mediate" special contractual terms and conditions under special circumstances such as a pandemic.
This may be important precisely in a situation where the parties concluding the contract did not foresee certain circumstances of their performance, such as introducing a state of epidemics or epidemic threat throughout the country. Such situations and states of emergency can often lead to a disruption of business relationships between the parties or make it temporarily impossible.
If the parties did not provide for such a situation in the contract,they may find themselves in a business dilemma. Commercial mediation may be helpful in such a situation,which will allow the parties not only to clarify differences in the interpretation of the agreement or its execution, but also to arrange the relationship for the future.
Classic commercial mediation consists of the participation of an independent mediator in communication between the parties in a dispute. The parties, as it were, moderated by the mediator in the mediation proceedings, strive to find a solution which would be acceptable to both parties. The mediation process should therefore lead to a win-win situation.
Settlement agreement replaces judgement
Practice shows that a solution achieved by both parties with the help of a mediator through commercial mediation is usually implemented by them on a voluntary basis and no steps are necessary to force the parties to implement the settlement reached. It is worth remembering, however, that the settlement reached through economic mediation can be confirmed in court. In such a situation, the mediator or attorneys of the parties ask the court to set a special court hearing during which the settlement agreement is formally approved by the court, which becomes an enforcement order, and thus gains the value and legal force of the court judgement.
This approval of the settlement may also take place a few weeks or months after the conclusion of the settlement agreement before the mediator. Thus, the fact that the court does not act at the present time does not prevent the parties from resolving disputes by means of mediation and subsequent possible approval of the settlement reached by the court.
The same applies to disputes which are already pending between the parties in court. In a situation where it is not certain when the court will be able to proceed with the case anew, the parties may conclude an out-of-court settlement by private mediation by regulating the fate of the pending dispute accordingly (eg by deciding to withdraw the statement of claim and mutual abolition of court costs).
We are convinced that this is the most sensible solution in the current situation, especially if the parties want to settle the dispute quickly.
It is estimated that mediation is at least 10 times cheaper than a court process. Perhaps it is precisely this current, exceptional situation which will contribute to a greater use of economic mediation in business, and entrepreneurs will use this tool for dispute resolution more often.

Carl Duncker (25 March 1781 – 15 July 1869) was a German publisher.   He played an important part in the early creation and growth of the publishing firm which became , more recently the publishers of the Neue Deutsche Biographie, a biographical dictionary.

Life

Family
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Duncker was born in Berlin, his parents' only recorded child.    His father, the merchant Christian Wilhelm Duncker (1749-1783), died while he was still an infant.  Curiously, his father and grandfather had also both, similarly, lost their own fathers in infancy.   His mother, Charlotte (born Charlotte Adolphie), remarried, which made it possible to preserve his father's business.

In 1810 Duncker himself married Fanny Levi (1791–1869), a daughter of the banker and military supplier Wolff Levy (who confusingly changed his name to "Wolff Levy Delmar" in 1810 or 1812).   Their children included the historian Maximilian Duncker (1811-1886), the Berlin mayor  (1817-1893) and the publisher-politician Franz Duncker (1822-1888).   The novelist Dora Duncker was a granddaughter.

Early years
Duncker was briefly a pupil at the prestigious Köllnisches Gymnasium (secondary school) in Berlin but his step father decided that a career in business would suit him better than an academic one, and he was switched to a commercial school recently established by  and a Dr Schulze.   After this he was set up in business in a small shop.   However, the late eighteenth century was a period of growth in publishing and literature and Duncker found himself increasingly drawn into the world of books.   In November 1800 he moved to Leipzig where he embarked on an apprenticeship in the book trade with Georg Voß.  On completion of his training period Voß wrote that Duncker had applied himself to his work and to his learning "with demonstrable care and fidelity" ("mit der bewiesenen Treue und Aufmerksamkeit").   It becomes apparent that in Voß he had acquired a lifelong friend and mentor.

In business
He returned to Berlin at the beginning of February 1806, accepting an invitation to take a job as an assistant to the book dealer and publisher Heinrich Frölich whose business, since its establishment in 1798, had thrived:  Frölich had built up excellent literary and commercial connections.   However, just six weeks after Duncker had joined him, on 11 March 1806 Frölich died suddenly, and Carl Duncker found himself running the firm.   Duncker was confident that he would be able to sustain the business, but Frölich's widow was vehemently of the opinion that he was too young and inexperienced to do so.   They called in the author and book dealer Friedrich Nicolai, a venerated elder of the Berlin book world, to arbitrate.  Nicolai came down in support of Duncker who was left in post, to manage the business through what proved to be an exceptionally difficult couple of years for those seeking to live through commerce.   Berlin was occupied by French troops between October 1806 and December 1808, while intensified fighting persisted in Silesia and East Prussia, where the king had been obliged to move with his court and government following military defeat in 1806.   International trade was also inhibited by the blockade of the Prussian ports imposed by the British navy in response to Emperor Napoleon's so-called Continental System.

Despite all this, by 1808 Duncker had managed to clear all the debts of the firm, and the withdrawal of French troops from Berlin at the end of the year offered the possibility of slightly less troubled times ahead.   Duncker now decided to purchase the business from Frölich's widow.   In order to be able to do this he entered into a partnership with a business contact and entrepreneur called Peter Humblot whom he had been able to get to know better while they were serving together in the National Guard.  Duncker and Humblot agreed to acquire the business on a 50:50 basis, and to share profits and losses on an equal basis.   Duncker was able to fund his share of the purchase price with a loan from his step-father, in return for a mortgage.  They traded under the business name "Duncker and Humblot".   Peter Humblot died in 1828, leaving Duncker as the sole proprietor:  but the name of the business remained unchanged.

In broad terms, Duncker's strategy followed the path established by Heinrich Frölich, while displaying a keen sensitivity to evolving trends in taste and attitude.   There was a focus on high quality academic and literary authors.   History, at that time a subject of growing importance, was at the core of the business.   He was endlessly attentive to the publication of Karl Friedrich Becker's nine volume "World History for Children and Teachers" ("Weltgeschichte für Kinder und Kinderlehrer").   Becker died in 1805, but the work was repeatedly expanded and updated by other historians, described later by his son as "excellently selected editors" ("vortrefflich gewählte Bearbeiter"):  by 1867 it had reached 20 volumes.

Other authors who were published by Duncker & Humblot even in those early years included the poets/writers, Goethe, E. T. A. Hoffmann and de la Motte Fouqué.   The historian Leopold von Ranke was persuaded to switch from his existing publisher to Duncker.   From 1832 Duncker was also the publisher for all of Hegel's output.   Between 1834 and 1845 the "Litterarische Zeitung" ("Literary Newspaper"), essentially the first national literary journal in Germany, was being produced by Duncker & Humblot, as were the "Yearbooks of Academic Criticism" ("Jahrbücher für wissenschaftliche Kritik") between 1833 and 1842.

Beyond business
In 1824 he became a member of the executive committee of the German Exchange Association of Book Dealers ("Börsenverein der Deutschen Buchhändler"), retaining his membership till 1866.   He was its (first) chairman between 1828 and 1831.   He was also a Berlin city councillor for fifteen years.

Death
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Duncker died peacefully, surrounded by his children, on 15 July 1869.    In January 1866 he had transferred the Duncker & Humblot publishing business to the Leipzig publisher .    Despite the relocation to Leipzig, the name of the company was unchanged, both under Geibel and under his son (also called Carl Geibel).

Q: Calling phone with appcelerator I'm trying on device make calls but device do not nothing...
This is my code, i'm using Appcelerator 4.4.0.201511241829, IOS 9.2
    var dialog = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
    cancel: 0,
    buttonNames: ['Cancel', 'Ok'],
    message: "Are you sure?"

    });

    dialog.addEventListener('click', function(e){

     if (e.index !== e.source.cancel){

        // IF WE ARE BUILDING FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES - TRY CALLING A FAKE NUMBER
        if(ENV_DEV){
              Titanium.Platform.openURL('tel:00000000');
        }
        // ELSE IF WE ARE BUILDING PRODUCTION - THEN USE THE LISTED NUMBER
        else if(ENV_PRODUCTION){
             Titanium.Platform.openURL('tel:00000000');
        }
    }
});

dialog.show();

any help?

A: Your code for call a number seems correct. I suppose that nothing happen because ENV_DEV and ENV_PRODUCTION variables are not True, and so the two if statements are not satisfy.
First of all I suggest you to add an else statement for be sure that one one condition is satisfy. You can modify your code like this:
// IF WE ARE BUILDING FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES - TRY CALLING A FAKE NUMBER
if(ENV_DEV){
    Titanium.Platform.openURL('tel:00000000');
}
// ELSE IF WE ARE BUILDING PRODUCTION - THEN USE THE LISTED NUMBER
else if(ENV_PRODUCTION){
    Titanium.Platform.openURL('tel:00000000');
}else{
    Titanium.Platform.openURL('tel:00000000');
}

Secondly you can add a console log like this Ti.API.info("yourMsg") in each statements to check in which if you are.
I hope this is helpful

A: Your 'dial a number' code indeed seems correct. I would like to suggest you to structure your code a bit different, I'll give you an example from a recent project of mine.
You can configure phone numbers for your different environments(prod, dev) in your config.json(assuming you are working on an Alloy project, and not a Classic Titanium project), an example:
{
 "global": {
 "phoneNumber": tel:0032499001122"
},
 "env:development": {
  "phoneNumber": tel:0111111"
},
"env:test": {},
"env:production": {}, ..

This reduces the code in your click-handler to:
if (e.index !== e.source.cancel){
   Ti.Platform.openURL(Alloy.CFG.phoneNumber);
}

Because you pass the environment when you start the application, you do not longer need to check the environment in your code.
Don't forget to add your environment flag(-D development) if you run your app via the CLI, eg.
titanium build -p ios -T simulator -D development

Q: How to prove that a function $f\colon c_0\to c_0$ is not Lipschitz continuous? I wonder if the following function $f\colon c_0\to c_0$ ( $c_0$ is a space of real sequences convergent to 0 with supremum norm)
$$ f(x)=(f_{n}(x)),$$
where $f_n(x)=\sqrt{|x_n|}+\frac{1}{n+1}$
is Lipschitz? I want to prove that it isn't. So, I pick $x,y\in c_0$ and consider
$$\|f(x)-f(y)\|=\sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}|\sqrt{|x_n|}-\sqrt{|y_n|}|.$$
At first I thought that it is enough to ask whether $g(x)=\sqrt{|x|}$ is Lipschitz continuous, but on the other hand there is the supremum. Maybe there are sequences $(x_{n}), (y_n)$ such that Lipschitz codition does not hold?

A: That should be enough. Because you can take the the subset $c_0' \subset c_0$ defined by
$$c_0' := \{ (x_n)_n \ | \ x_k = 0 \text{ for } k \geq 2\}$$
Then take $x,y \in c_0'$ so that
$$f(x) - f(y) = (\sqrt{|x_n|} - \sqrt{|y_n|})_n = (\sqrt{|x_1|} - \sqrt{|y_1|}, 0,0,...)$$
Let $g(x) = \sqrt{|x|}$, then
$$|g(x_1) - g(y_1)| = ||f(x) - f(y)|| = \big|\sqrt{|x_1|} - \sqrt{|y_1|}\big|$$
Which is not Lipschitz.

Apologies and fair compensations to the tortured Mau Mau
Colonialism Reparation calls on the United Kingdom to immediately apologize and pay fair compensations to the Mau Mau for the torture and abuse systematically carried out by the British colonial government during the brutal repression of the independence movement in Kenya.
On June 6, 2013 the British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced the Parliament that the Government had reached an agreement with the Kenyan citizens which had denounced it for the torture and abuse suffered during the brutal repression of the independence movement in Kenya by the British colonial government in the fifties and early sixties of the last century. The British Government has recognized that "Kenyans have been subject to torture and other forms of ill-treatment at the hands of the colonial administration", it has expressed its "sincere regret" and has agreed compensations for 2,600 pounds (about 3,000 euro) for each of the 5,228 applicants.
It is evident that the British Government has accepted the agreement, after opposing for four years and loosing twice in front of the High Court in London, forced by the circumstances and only to minimize the damage. The recognition that "Kenyans have been subject of torture and other forms of ill-treatment at the hands of the colonial administration" requires an in-depth investigation and the punishment of persons guilty of these crimes, the "sincere regret" expressed must convert into sincere apologies and the compensation of 2,600 pounds must become a fair and guaranteed compensation to all the tortured Mau Mau. To this end, it is certainly useful to recall that in the years immediately following the abolition of slavery the former slave-owners received compensations for 40,000 pounds at current value for each slave freed (about 57,000 euros).
Colonialism Reparation calls on the United Kingdom to immediately apologize and pay fair compensations to the Mau Mau for the torture and abuse systematically carried out by the British colonial government during the brutal repression of the independence movement in Kenya and calls on the British government to publish with no delay the documents survived to the systematic cancellation, kept for more than half a century by the Ministry of foreign affairs in the secret archive of Hanslope Park.
"Men aspiring to be free could hardly think of enslaving others. If they try to do so, they would only be binding their own chains of slavery tighter."
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Harijan, 1947
You are here: Apologies and fair compensations to the tortured Mau Mau


So it seems that if the Governor calls a Special Session of the Kentucky Legislation this summer that it could be for who knows what and may or may not include the request for additional funding for the Horse Park. The Governor did appropriate the funds so that the engineering studies could begin this year which was an absolute necessity for the success of the Games. The need now is to have the money available to begin the construction as early as possible next year and there seems to be some question that the next regular Legislative session isn't soon enough to guarantee that. Keep in mind no major construction can really happen until after next year's Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event, but any major construction firm is probably going to need at least 30 days advance notice to put the logistics together to start getting equipment out to the Horse Park and I am sure most are going to say 90 days for a practical matter as a true start date to cover themselves when it comes to meeting deadlines.
So the question remains, will the major construction have started at the Horse Park 1 year from today, I give that a 60/40 chance because I am always the optimistic realist and at this point we have had to accept the reality that the citizens of Kentucky seem to have very little real power in moving politicians to get the people's business done.
With the failure of the State House to act on the spending deal that would have provided the additional funding for the Horse Park the Governor acted this week to at least keep the ball moving down the field to guarantee the success of the games. He authorized Commerce Secretary George Ward to re-appropriate $900,000 in funds that had been set aside for a statewide campground improvement project.
These funds will allow at least the design work to continue for the proposed new stadium needed for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010. It is hoped that the design phase can be wrapped up by March of 2008 when bids will be sought for the construction of the stadium.
The Governor still may call a special session to re-address both the state pension short fall and the funding funding for the Horse Park that he requested in his State of the Commonwealth Address.
Tom Martin, Editor in Chief of Business Lexington wrote a compelling article on the need to provide the additional funding now for the Horse Park as proposed by Governor Fletcher in his State of the Commonwealth Address. This article also speaks to the importance of this opportunity to all Kentuckians across the state.
We thank Mr. Martin for allowing us to repost his article and for his efforts in promoting this cause that we also feel so strongly for.
Governor Fletcher's recent call on the General Assembly to fund a $24 million outdoor arena at the Kentucky Horse Park is far more urgent than even recent press reports, including our own, have implied.
The Fayette County legislative delegation must "get this" and must close ranks immediately in a unified demand that House Speaker Jody Richards and Senate President David Williams cease their resistance to revising the current budget to provide these funds.
There is no time to quarrel over who is at fault for allowing this situation to become so serious and at such an 11th hour. We will sort that out later.
Right now, all of us here in Kentucky need to understand that in 3 short years we are going to represent the entire United States on live television broadcast worldwide by NBC and in other media from scores of nations. We need to appreciate the generous $10 million sponsorship of Alltech and to respect the industry that, more than any other, positively defines Kentucky culture.
When in 2006 the Fletcher administration requested initial funds for Horse Park improvements, the intent at the time was to demonstrate to the organizing body, the Federation Equestre Internationale, that Kentucky has the wherewithal to become the first-ever site outside of Europe to host the prestigious World Equestrian Games. It wasn't until Kentucky officials actually traveled to the '06 Games in Aachen, Germany that they realized the necessity of a permanent outdoor arena.
Time is of the essence. Best estimates project a 9-month planning and design process followed by a 12-month construction phase. And that doesn't account for the inevitable delays. Even in a best case scenario, with funding provided in the '07 session, construction could not begin until after the 2008 Rolex Three Day Event.
The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games are scheduled for late summer of 2010. The Horse Park, however, is required to host a series of test events in preparation for the games. Those test events must get underway no later than the spring of 2009.
Indeed. It is an exceptional event for all of Kentucky, not just the Bluegrass. The anticipated economic impact spreads far and wide, enriching industries ranging from human hospitality to equine support.
Think we have a corner on this? Think again. Maryland, among other states, is breathing down our necks.
The state has completed a feasibility study for a parcel of land in Anne Arundel County and is currently in the process of putting in a bid for long-term control of the property. If their bid is accepted, they estimate it will take roughly three years and an investment of $114 million in capital costs to get the Maryland Horse Park up and running, said Rob Burk, executive director of the Maryland Horse Industry Board, part of Maryland's Department of Agriculture.
When asked about the long-term economic value of that investment, Burk said they looked to Kentucky, as well as other state horse parks.
That doesn't count the estimated annual economic impact of more than $100 million for Maryland businesses, and that's without an event like the World Equestrian Games.
Burk compares a horse park to both a centralized farmers market for the equine industry and a convention center.
Kentucky must remain preeminent in the horse industry. The ultimate purpose of the proposed outdoor arena extends well beyond its use in the 2010 Games. A new outdoor stadium, along with the new indoor arena, makes possible the National Equestrian Festival, an annual weeklong mega-event expected to attract 75,000 spectators producing a regional economic impact of $75 million. In addition, events such as this will enable the Horse Park to reach its goal of becoming self-sufficient –as in free of dependence on taxpayer dollars– by 2012.
We understand the reluctance of legislative leaders to re-open the budget in what is supposed to be a brief, non-budgetary session. Indeed, when voters added the odd-year short session it wasn't meant to decide the entire biennial budget, but certainly the intent wasn't to have the 138 members of the legislature trot to Frankfort only to pass bills that didn't cost the state a dime. The intent was to keep the governor from calling special session after special session to alleviate issues that came up in the 20 months between the end of one session and the start of another.
Few will recall that the 2007 Kentucky General Assembly appropriated $24 million for a stadium. But who would forget that the politicians in Frankfort cost our state…and nation…such an important economic driver as the World Equestrian Games?
Is the level of urgency actually that high? Consider this: France, Holland and Ireland all lost the Games to other countries or failed to execute the event well, all related to failure to live up to promises made during the bidding process.
When asked if the WEG coming for the first time to the United States had generated any excitement in Maryland, Burk said there was still quite a bit of indifference among the general public. He feels certain that will change once people understand the scope of it better.
We know the feeling. Hopefully, we can generate that kind of interest among our own legislators before the world is arriving on our doorstep.
Let this not be lost on any of us. It is time to act. Call your legislator and let him or her know that you are in favor of spending dimes to generate dollars.
Governor Fletcher's State of the Commonwealth Address was some 29 pages long. In the portion dealing with the World Equestrian Games the Governor made some key points but still seems to be not driving home just what these Games will mean for the Commonwealth. He made the point of saying again that after they went to Aachen they realized they had more work to do. Now one thing to keep in mind, the Germans do a suburb job of planning and hosting such events and may be near the best in the world at it. So with Kentucky being next in line, the bar has been set high, but the Germans have clearly shown us the mark we have to beat.
Of course the real point of his remarks was to ask for an additional $38 million to be allocated this year because the concern is that if they wait until the 2008 Legislative Session there will not be enough time to complete everything. That is a legitimate concern, but I think the Governor would of been better served talking about the importance of the Games to the Commonwealth of Kentucky because that is the bigger problem. Which of course explains why a number of Law Makers came out and said there was no way his request would even be heard this year, as they said, this isn't a budgetary session. More importantly its an election year and the Governor is not likely to get that money because he asked for it in a public forum.
The full speech can be had here.
Governor Fletcher backs additional funds for the Horse Park.
Governor Fletcher is pushing to get another $38 million to improve road infrastructure in the Kentucky Horse Park as well as to jump start the Newtown Pike improvements plus upgrading the currently planned arenas. This money would come from the $279 million surplus the state has with the expectation that this money would be available this year instead of having to wait to be put in as part of next years State budget. Indications are that the Governor is receiving recommendations to make the Kentucky Horse Park the top notch equestrian facility we know it can be. Even more to our delight the word has been put out that the State would be interested in landing future FEI World Equestrian Games. Now we will not take credit for seeding that idea but we are certainly going to do all we can do to see that goal accomplished.


In honor of Thanksgiving 2015, we're doing an entire meal! Well, not exactly an entire meal, you'll still have to make your own Turkey, but we got the rest.

The Baton Rouge Bears dug themselves in a hole early but clawed their way back into the game but it was not enough to defeat the Co-Lin Wolves, as they fall 21 to 20, this evening at Pete Goldsby Field.
Co-Lin Wolves would get on the board first with a run, in the second. The Bears would respond with two runs in the bottom of the frame to take a 2 to 1 lead. William Garrett Smith would single and score on a sac fly by Cade Boudreaux for the Bears first run of the game. Kendall Kennedy would double to left field and score on a Jordin Labruzza infield single for the bears second run. In the third inning, the Wolves would take advantage of some inconsistent pitching by the Bears to score sixteen runs to take a commanding 17 to 2 lead. Baton Rouge would begin to claw their way back in the game, in the fourth inning, when they would score five runs. Kendall Kennedy would single, followed by back to back walks by Cade Boudreaux and Jordin Labruzza to load the bases. Donavon Murray was also walked scoring Kennedy. Cameron Guitreau would reach on an error scoring Boudreaux and Labruzza. Murray would score on a Cameron Crawford sac fly. Finally, Guitreau would score on a Bo Barrilleaux single to left field. After four, the Bears trailed the Wolves 17 to 7. In the fifth innings, Co-Lin would tact on two more runs to make it 18 to 7. On the brink of losing the game and going home early, the Bears rally began in full force, in the sixth inning, when they plated nine runs to cut the Wolves lead to 18 to 16. The Bears battered around in the inning. Some highlights of the inning include a triple by Thomas Garber scoring three, a single by William Veillon scoring two and a three run homerun by Cameron Crawford into the trees in left field.
Col-Lin would respond with two runs in the seventh to take a 21 to 16 lead. The Bears did not quit as they would score one run in the eighth via a home run by Thomas Garber. In the ninth, the Bears had their chances to walk off with the victory but they would be denied. Luis Marmolejos would double scoring Cody Crifasi, who was hit by a pitch. Marmolejos would score when Cameron Guitreau would reach on an error. Cameron Crawford would single to right field scoring William Veillon, who reached on an error by the centerfielder. Kyle Pitre would give the ball a ride to centerfield but it was caught for the last out thus ending the Bears rally. Bears lose the slugfest 21 to 20 to the Co-Lin Wolves.
Jordy Adams started the game for the Bears. Cooper Strong, Braxton Dufrene, Salvador Lusco, Jacob Cyr,Dana Wise, Trevor Benoit, Christopher Sagrera and Tanner Young all pitched in relief for the Bears. Cameron Hill started the game for the Wolves. He went three innings allowing zero runs on zero hits while striking out two.
The Bears will return to action this weekend when they begin their three game series with the LSUE Bengals. First game will be Friday night at 6 pm at Bengals Stadium in Eunice, Saturday's game will be at Pete Goldsby Field at 6 pm then the Bears return to Eunice on Sunday for at 3 pm match up with the Bengals.

Q: How to use the latitude/longitude of points when using scikit-learn's Gaussian Process Regression? I'm trying to interpolate some data from air monitoring stations.
Almost each record have an air quality value and their latitude, longitude. But there are some records lacking values.
For example, the data just like this:
116° 42° 10
117° 43° missing
120° 20° 1000

I want to use the scikit-learn's GPR (GaussianProcessRegressor) to interpolate the missing values.
I know that the 2-D data can be processed like the last answer in this problem
 Python - Kriging (Gaussian Process) in scikit_learn
My problem is that: I shouldn't use the latitude and longitude to do this task directly, beacause the earth is a sphere so the latitude/longitude is not an usual flat 2-D grid.
I want to ask how to define the distance function between points when using the scikit-learn's GPR, or should I just project these lat/lon points to flat and use them? I hadn't try this because the precesion loss during projection made me sad :(
Thx for any suggestion :)
ps. The distance between two lat/lon points can be calculate by Haversine formula like Calculate distance between two latitude-longitude points? (Haversine formula)

A: The Variogram()  constructor has a parameter dist_func='euclidean'. You could try replacing euclidean with a custom haversine function.
See scipy.spatial.distance.pdist
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.spatial.distance.pdist.html
dm = pdist(X, lambda u, v: np.sqrt(((u-v)**2).sum()))
I haven't tried it.

Pure Phase Ensemble are an international music collective created especially for the SpaceFest! Festival in Poland. Made up of 12 musicians from Poland and UK. They release a Live at SpaceFest! album each year, recorded with a special guest. Previous guests have included Laetitia Sadier and Mark Gardener. This year they were joined by Anton Newcombe.
Intro starts with keyboards through a Tremolo pedal, much like Spacemen 3, and some vague background noodling. Some tentative strumming comes in towards the end. This is the band finding their feet. Things become more focussed on Sorry Not Sorry as, after an exploratory opening section, the whole band come in and make a lovely racket, all distorted drone. The track also has a vocal from Anton Newcombe. The sound is somewhere between The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Telescopes. The tremolo keyboard returns again to start Popol Vuh. There is a more spacey intro to this 10 minute epic, with phased keyboards. With great patience, the Ensemble build up the atmosphere for three minutes before settling into something more akin to the Grateful Dead or Quicksilver Messenger Service. A meandering keyboard line moves it more towards Country Joe & the Fish. Balwan has two keyboards gently shifting pitches and pulses. A Motorik drum beat starts and is joined by a Holger Czukay bass line and the whole band comes in, really hammering two chords. With vocals from several band members it is simultaneously the most focussed song here whilst also bringing to mind the organised chaos of Amon Duul II. A splendid Lou Reed-like guitar line splits through the middle of the whole glorious mess. Electronic beats start Tetno Pulsu, the Spacemen 3 keyboard is still going but soon fades into the background. Another two note riff takes shape. The vocal on this is more like Damo Suzuki. But the song doesn't take off like the other tracks on this album. God Drugs opens ominously with huge distorted notes and thankfully they deliver once again with a distorted, droney riff. It's wonderful stuff. After this the one minute Warming Up is just a frantic, noise interlude before the final Getting Bored. It starts with another Klaus Dinger beat put again it takes the quiet order of Neu! and makes it more ragged and frantic. It's an explosive finish to a fine album.
Live at SpaceFest! is a Psychedelic SpaceFeast. It stops off at many key points in the history of Psychedelic Music, from San Francisco in 1967 to Cologne in 1972 to Rugby in 1987 and on towards the modern day Psychedelia. This is also more together than Jam Rock, this is Psychedelic Drone Rock at its most off-the-cuff and exhilarating. I look forward to next year's release.
Lots of interesting name checking there Sean. I'm a big BJM fan, and I'll be giving this a workout on the weekend.

Michael Salgado
Texas born and raised with roots stemming from Barrancos, Mexico Salgado is the most prominent example of the Latin talent. He has managed to appear in eminent places such as music charts, top sales, and popular nominations but most importantly in the heart of the public. His exceptional ability to play the accordion left-handed and vice versa, gave him the well-earned nickname "El Zurdo De Oro''. Michael's uncanny ability to powerfully attract the attention of his fans during live performances led to the rise of his career, taking him further that he ever imagined.
Salgado's first album went on the market in 1989; However it was until several years after that he achieved great success highlighting the "before and after" effect in his career thanks to the song "Cruz De Madera". In 1995 Michael earned his first of countless awards, the total success of Cruz De Madera landed him the award for best song of the year. Salgado went on to release other hits such as: "Recordando A Los Relámpagos", "Sin Ella", "Palomita Blanca", "La Media Vuelta", "Golondrinas A Cornelio", "Mi Chatita", "Volare, Volare", "Otra Vez A La Cantina" and the #1
Tejano Hit of 2001: "Ya No Voy a Aguantar " Winning him "Best Song of the Year" by the prestigious Tejano Music Awards. MICHAEL SALGADO has been recognized with four awards from the "Tejano Music Awards", among them "Best Song Of The Year" for "Ya No Voy a Aguantar " and the Billboard Latin Music Award "Best Album Regional Mexican". Behind the development of each album contributed hard work, dedication and effort, I've always liked music with the accordion because it was part of my roots and the music that I grew up with," stated Salgado, he would go on to win a Grammy for Mejor Album Norteno, "En Vivo" in 2007.
Since then he has released his first album under his own Independent record label ZURDO RECORDS titled "No vengo a ver si puedo... Si Por Que Puedo Vengo", from this Cd three singles promoted on the radio: 'Mi San Antonio", "Con Un Trago de Tequila ' and on its rise to the Country Market with "Honky Tonks and Cantinas" managing to stand out in this genre. Salgado was also featured in the film "This is my Country, Twin Fiddles and Accordion," in this film Salgado is one of the featured artist who takes you down his journey in pursuing country music. Michael performed "Honky Tonks and Cantinas" @ the World Premiere in San Antonio TX on November 8, 2012. The impact of this album landed him a nomination for "Best Banda Norteño at the 2012 Grammy Awards.
In 2012 Salgado released an album entitled "Homenaje a mis Ídolos," dedicated to Ramón Ayala and Cornelio Reyna. " Homenaje a mis Ídolos" contains 15 songs and was produced by Salgado, this CD extracted singles like "Popurri Rancheras", "Rinconcito en el Cielo, "Lo Lindo De Ti", "Chaparra De Mi Amor" y "Corazón Malo" which are climbing to high positions on airplay and sales charts." On April 18, 2012 Salgado released his second Country song entitled "A Far Cry from Gone" available only for digital downloads in the most well-known places (iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, etc.)
In November 2012 "Urban Cowboy," one of Salgado's all time favorite films inspired "Buscando Amor" the third Album released by Zurdo Records. The first single "Buscando Amor" was a Spanish re-creation of the 1980's song "Looking for Love" by Johnny Lee. His second single reached the top of the charts titled "Ya no te puedo
Amar" the response from the fans was so powerful that he decided to record a banda version, inviting Diana Reyes to be featured. Late 2013 the third single titled "Que Piensas Hacer" was released,
making this one of the most influential songs on the radio. This Album landed Salgado the Top Nomination for Album of the year Norteno at the 33rd annual Tejano Music Awards.
2014 Has been a very busy year for the Grammy Award Winner, on March 13, 2014 Salgado released his most recent Album "Nada Es Eterno which is also the first single off the album and is currently working on releasing his second single due out sometime late June early July 2014 . Not only has Michael Continued to tour the United States, he has also been hosting his own Concert events through his Corporation (Zurdo Inc.) bringing some of the most Talented Musicians to San Antonio. Salgado landed a Sponsorship with H-E-B Carnesazo Campain in 2013 and is up for a new term this year, he is very humbled and grateful for this opportunity.
The future of Michael Salgado and his musical destination continues to be written and runs the length and width of the world delighting each and every fan along the way.

Why travel the world searching out Peter Pan statues?
J became aware that there are 7 statues – six replicas were cast from the original mould of the famous Peter Pan statue which is located in London's Kensington Gardens in England – and it became a mission to see them all.
In 2009 we were in Perth, Western Australia for mum's 80th birthday and stayed not far from Queens Park where one of the replicas is situated. As I am originally from Perth, J was amazed I had never told him about the statue despite his fascination with never growing up.
When J turned 50 in 2010 we headed overseas for a long trip, with many things on his 'bucket list' to be crossed off. One of those items was to find, photograph and climb as many of the other statues as we could.
Glenn Gould Park, Toronto, Canada, Peter Pan – This statue was erected in 1929 by the College Heights Association.
Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey, Peter Pan – Located outside the Walt Whitman Arts Center it still remains in fine condition.
Sefton Park, Liverpool Peter Pan – Unveiled in 1928 the statue was so badly vandalized it had to be fully restored. The pipe and one squirrel were missing and a fairy had half her head hacked off. The statue now resides within the gated enclosure of Palm House, in Sefton Park.
Kensington Gardens, London, England, Peter Pan – The original and much-loved statue of Peter Pan was commissioned by the author himself. Peter's pipe is often stolen but it is always promptly replaced.
Egmont Park, Brussels, Belgium, Peter Pan – Presented to the country in 1924 by sculptor Frampton following World War One. The inscription translates to "A bond of friendship between the children of Great Britain and the children of Belgium". Today the statue is in a pretty poor state and bears the scars of a few bullet holes (compliments of World War II ).
The final statue was elusive, and would remain so until 2011 when we detoured from a trip to the United States and headed North – to Canada.
User error? Such a good photo with the new camera!

Panama is not even one-fifth as rich as its Asian model on a per-person basis. But Singapore would envy its growth: from 2005 to 2010 its economy expanded by more than 8% a year, the fastest rate in the Americas. The IMF expects it to grow by over 6% a year during the next five years. Panama will soon overtake Costa Rica and Venezuela in GDP per head. Accounting for purchasing power, it is one of the five richest countries in mainland Latin America.
The Central American nation replaced Uruguay as having the highest technology level in the region, fueled by a surge of Internet users and computer sales, according to the sixth annual Latin Technology Index from Latin Business Chronicle.
Internet penetration in Panama was up 43 percent and personal computer sales jumped 21 percent, the data show. The index uses 2010 technology data from the International Telecommunications Union, Computer Industry Almanac and the Santiago Chamber of Commerce and population data from the International Monetary Fund and the Population Reference Bureau.
Eduardo Jaen, who heads Panama's National Authority for Government Innovation, attributes the rise to government support for Internet access and success at luring new businesses into the modern capital. More than 60 corporations, including tech giants Dell and 3M, shifted regional headquarters to Panama since a tax exemption law was passed in 2007.
Panama, for the second consecutive year, depicts the strongest competitive position in Central America and is the only country in the isthmus that manages to improve its performance, entering the top 50 at 49th position. The country has remained relatively stable in most competitiveness drivers. Overall, it benefits from important strengths in its efficient financial market (16th), solid transport infrastructures (39th) [first place in latin America], and very good technological adoption (12th), especially through FDI, where it is ranked 4th. In dynamic terms, it is important to highlight the progress the country has made in the quality of its port and air transport infrastructure (5th and 15th, respectively) and its fostering of stronger domestic competition (43rd).
José Domingo Arias, vice minister of foreign trade, points instead to the government's canal expansion – perhaps the largest remodeling job in history – and additional investments in new airports, seaports, railways, and roadways. What the government is doing today, he says, is simply modernizing its traditional industry niche to make Panama a more complete global player as a value-added logistics hub for the Americas. And the push to expand in new directions, he adds, is not erratic behavior, but rather a sign that Panama is grown up and ready to diversify.
But those 500 years of history suggest that Panama is best suited to be a financial, trade, and logistics center, and risk analyst Ms. Berkman agrees. If the president can stay focused on that, without getting too distracted by other development models along the way, it might yet be enough to turn Panama into Latin America's only first-world nation.
Panama's government bond rating was upgraded to Baa3 from Ba1 to reflect significant improvement in the country's fiscal and debt positions and favorable prospects for further consolidation in the government accounts over the medium term….
The country's economic resilience is strongly supported by a dynamic service-based economy. In recent years, Panama's role as a transshipment and logistics hub between continents and within the Americas has strengthened. Large scale investments, including the widening of the Panama Canal, should ensure strong rates of growth in the medium term. Despite a short track record of fiscal responsibility, Panama's institutional strength benefits from general policy consensus among the major political forces.
On July 21, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BBB-/A-3' long- and shortterm sovereign credit ratings on the Republic of Panama and revised the outlook to positive from stable. Our transfer and convertibility assessment on the country remains unchanged at 'AAA'.
· Panama's GDP growth continues to perform better than expected and we think it will likely remain strong over the medium term.
· Although the government faces challenges in implementing large infrastructure projects, the country's debt burden has continued to decline.
· As a result, we have revised the outlook on our long-term foreign- and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Panama to positive from stable.
· The positive outlook is based on our view that stronger growth and increased infrastructure spending could result in faster-than-expected improvement in the sovereign's financial profile.
The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Positive.
The upgrade reflects Panama's solid economic growth prospects and favorable government debt dynamics. Panama's highly favorable investment cycle is underpinned by the Canal expansion, an ambitious public investment program and strong foreign direct investment flows. Favorable economic growth combined with continued fiscal discipline has allowed for a sustained decline in government indebtedness, with debt to GDP of 43% nearly converging with the 'BBB' median.
Panama's ratings are also supported by the country's stable banking system, political stability and the consensus among political parties on the main thrust of macroeconomic policies. The country's demonstrated resilience to external shocks is also noteworthy.

At the Tuesday, January 28 meeting of the Antioch City Council a proposal by Discovery Builders, owned by Alberto Seeno, III, to build 60 homes in the city was rejected on a 3-to-2 vote. The Pointe project, planned for an approximately 22-acre site near the corner of Somersville Road and James Donlon Boulevard, would have generated more than $2.55 million in city and regional road fees if approved according to a Seeno spokesman.
The fees assessed to the project included $27,500 per home Residential Development Allocation fee for a total of $1.65 million to the city, and $15,000 per home for a total of $900,000 for regional road improvements, specifically Highway 4, including the Bypass, as well as the Buchanan Bypass road, which will be an extension to James Donlon Blvd., connecting to Kirker Pass Road in Pittsburg.
The proposal to build the homes had generated controversy at the December 10th meeting of the Council, with residents of the Black Diamond Area and a representative of Save Mount Diablo speaking out against it, because it meant grading 125 feet of a hill and violating the city's hillside ordinance. At that meeting, at which the council had put off a vote on the matter, then city manager Jim Jakel had urged the council to make a decision, even though it might be hard.
Discovery Builders was requested by Councilman Gary Agopian to bring back an alternative plan showing how many homes they could build while following the city's hillside ordinance. In response, during his presentation to the council, the developer's spokesman showed the design of how one home would look on the hillside and a plot map showing a few areas on the hill, for a total of about four acres that could be built on.
Following the presentation, about a dozen citizens, including neighbors of the project, and a representative of Save Mount Diablo again spoke out against the project during the public comments portion of the hearing. Only one speaker, former councilman Allen Payton, spoke in favor, reminding the council that the builder had moved forward based on direction given by the council six years ago, when they had allocated the 60 units, under the city's Residential Development Allocation program. Payton also noted that to reverse course would send a negative message to businesses willing to invest in Antioch.
In the project proponent's three-minute rebuttal, at the end of the public hearing, a rare and emotional appeal was made by Albert Seeno, Jr., the first time he had spoken on an issue at an Antioch City Council meeting, since 1979.
Seeno later shared that the company had spent $100,000 on fees to pay for city staff time, after receiving the allocation of the 60 housing units, much more than the $30,000 spent to develop the plan.
Following the public hearing the council debated the proposal extensively, with all but Councilwoman Monica Wilson stating why they were voting for or against it.
Agopian said he hadn't made up his mind until that moment. He had considered voting in favor even though he had driven by and seen the hill the development would have taken down.
At one point the public hearing was reopened in order for Councilman Tiscareno to question Albert Seeno III about two meetings his company had held with neighbors, in an effort to address some of their concerns. He pointed out that he also met individually with neighbors living in the adjacent subdivision, also built by Seeno, and reminded them they had signed documents acknowledging the 60-lot project could be built.
Following Seeno's comments, and further deliberation by the council, Mayor Pro Tem Mary Rocha made a motion to deny approval of the development, and was joined by council members Gary Agopian and Wilson in voting to do so. Mayor Wade Harper and council member Tony Tiscareno cast the two votes in favor of the project.
On a related note, during the discussion, city staff mentioned that the developer would complete the widening of Somersville Road, between James Donlon and the canal, and install a signal light at that intersection, by December.

Tescorino and Harper were always in Seeno's pockets. So inappropriate for Harper to accept campaign contributions from Seeno. Vote these two OUT!
Kudos to 3 Council members voting against more building in Antioch. Seeno stated that people have to live somewhere? His greed and single-mindedness is appalling! City Council members, please keep focused on developing Antioch commerce, promoting jobs in the area to turn the tide of having to commute, hopefully promoting all the rentals caused by the recent bank loan fiasco back to owner-occupied, restore safety and combat nuisance such as speeding, loud boombox music and gunning motorcyles and cars in residential areas.
Are you kidding me, that development in my opinion is going to happen. Seeno just hasn't paid off ALL the Council members….just a matter of time. That's how Antioch politics works!

dermabrasion over small areas, because their freckles will disappear in the treated areas only. People who develop allergic rashes or other skin reactions are also advised against undergoing dermabrasion.
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but neither treatment will remove all scars and flaws or prevent aging. Before you decide to have a skin-refinishing treatment, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon. Men and women of all ages, from young people to older adults, can benefit from dermabrasion and dermaplaning. Although older people heal more slowly, more important factors are your skin type, coloring, and medical history. For example, black skin, Asian skin, and other dark complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a skin-refinishing treatment. People who develop allergic rashes or other skin reactions, or who get frequent fever blisters or cold sores, may experience a flare-up. If you have freckles, they may disappear in the treated area. In addition, most surgeons won't perform treatment during the active stages of acne because of a greater risk of infection. The same may be true if you've had radiation treatments, a bad skin burn, or a previous chemical peel.
Before beginning dermabrasion, the surgeon must have a thorough knowledge of skin anatomy and normal wound healing. Skin covers the entire external surface of the human body and is the principle site of interaction with the surrounding environment. It serves as a protective barrier preventing internal tissues from exposure to trauma, ultraviolet radiation, extremes of temperature, toxins, and bacteria. Other important functions include sensory perception, immunologic surveillance, thermoregulation, and control of insensible fluid loss.
Dermabrasion is the process of mechanically removing the damaged outer layers of skin. The epidermis then regenerates from the epidermal appendages located in the remaining dermis. This process begins within 24 hours of wounding and is usually complete after 7-10 days. The new epidermis shows greater organization and vertical polarity with the disappearance of actinic keratoses and lentigines. Dermal regeneration is a slower process but usually is complete within several months. The regenerated dermis demonstrates less elastosis and improved organization, with compact horizontally arranged bundles of collagen interspersed with elastic fibers. Ground substance is decreased, and telangiectasias are absent. The overall result is soft supple skin that appears more youthful and has fewer rhytids and dyschromias.
Adequate evaluation and photographic documentation of patients before dermabrasion are absolutely essential. Evaluation includes consideration of the severity and depth of the condition being treated and the need for additional or alternative procedures. The patient with deep rhytids and excessive facial skin is likely to be better served with traditional rhytidectomy. The patient with severe generalized photodamage and medium-to-fine rhytids may be an optimal candidate for chemical peeling or laser resurfacing. Patients may benefit from rhytidectomy and resurfacing rather than dermabrasion because rhytidectomy addresses skin quantity whereas peeling addresses overall skin quality.
Dermabrasion is indicated for surgical or traumatic scarring, acne pits and scars, rhinophyma, chickenpox scars, premalignant actinic damage, melasma, tattoos (both traumatic and intentional), and perioral rhytids and has been demonstrated to be as efficacious as laser resurfacing in treatment of these conditions. Whereas chemical peeling and laser resurfacing usually are applied globally to the face, dermabrasion more often is used for specific areas of troubling scarring or wrinkling. Dermabrasion is used for specific areas of the face more often than laser resurfacing or chemical peeling because dermabrasion does not injure melanocytes and is less likely to cause pigmentation changes. Laser resurfacing and chemical peeling, when applied to only a portion of the face, often leave lines of demarcation between treated and untreated regions, denoting damage to melanocytes in the treated areas. In addition, dermabrasion is much less costly to the patient than laser resurfacing or chemical peeling.
Dermabrasion requires rather simple tools and, in comparison to laser resurfacing, does not require specialized safety equipment for surgeon or patient, with the exception of protective face shields for the surgeon and staff. The surgeon uses a handheld device to abrade a controlled depth of facial skin. The handpiece has a rapidly spinning tip to which multiple interchangeable abrading devices may be attached. These include sandpaperlike burrs, curettes, diamond fraises, rasps, and wire brushes. The tip generally spins at a speed of 12,000-15,000 rpm. The surgeon can control speed, usually with a foot pedal. Irregular or imperfect facial surfaces are abraded to yield a smooth and even surface. The only danger in performing dermabrasion is abrading too deeply into the facial skin.
Dermabrasion may require admission to hospital or it may be done as an outpatient procedure in a doctor's surgery. The procedure begins with thoroughly cleaning the area to be 'sanded' with antiseptic cleansing agent. A numbing spray may be applied to freeze and firm the surface that is being treated. The doctor will then carefully manoeuvre the dermabrasion tool over the area to carefully remove layers of skin until he/she reaches the desired level that will make the scar or wrinkle less visible, aiming to avoid more scarring.
Following the procedure the treated skin will be red, swollen and tender. A compress or special dressing is usually applied to reduce any tingling, burning or stinging sensation and to speed up healing. Instructions will be given on caring for the wound until new skin starts to grow; this usually takes 7-10 days. The face may itch as the new skin grows and may be slightly swollen, sensitive, and bright pink for several weeks after dermabrasion.
Postoperative care is aimed at providing an ideal environment for moist wound healing. Initially apply a generous amount of ointment to the entire treated area. This should be a bland ointment such as white petrolatum, A & D Ointment, or vegetable shortening. Instruct patients to reapply the ointment throughout the day any time the face feels tight or dry. The patient is allowed to shower and gently wash the face with nonresidue soap using fingertips only. After showering, the face should be patted dry and a new coating of ointment applied. Instruct patients not to pick at their wounds during the recovery period.
Some practitioners have used topical agents that contain platelet products or growth factors following dermabrasion. While these products have been shown to improve wound healing in other clinical situations, no randomized controlled clinical trial presently supports their use in this setting. Further research continues in this area. The patient should understand the process of reepithelialization and the importance of compliance with the prescribed posttreatment regimen. Antiviral therapy, if instituted, should be continued until reepithelialization is complete. In the early stages of wound healing, the patient should be reexamined early and repeatedly, generally within 48 hours and again every several days. Instruct patients not to reapply transretinoic acid, sunscreen, or makeup until the face is healed to the satisfaction of the treating physician.

'Boom Boom' Mancini Joins 'The Main Event'
Leslie and Patsy Spero, Ray Mancini
PALM BEACH, Fla. – Former boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini donned cherry-red boxing gloves and joined the American Cancer Society's 56th annual Palm Beach gala, "The Main Event," at the Mar-a-Lago Club.
The club's main ballroom, bedecked in red, white and blue, featured an authentic competition-sized ring that served as the stage for the band. It also featured ringside snacks, a photo booth, a punching bag simulator and interactive Wii boxing game. Dining tables, which surrounded the dance floor, featured boxing gloves as their centerpiece.
Patty Myura and Tom Quick
Co-chairs for the evening were Patrick M. Park, Vince Cerone, Thomas C. Quick and Donald J. Trump. Vice chairmen were Leslie Spero and Bob Holuba. Petra Levin was honorary chairman.
During dinner, Quick, Park and Cerone entered the ring to thank this year's corporate partners.
Allen West, of Advanced Jets, hosted the VIP Champagne Reception in Mar-a-Lago's ballroom; Braman Motorcars hosted the pre-gala sponsor party; Brioni provided the men's gift bags; Fantastic Finishes; and Tamara Comolli, of Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry, provided the live auction piece as well as the women's gift bags.
Susan Furman, Fran Holuba and Bob Holuba
The chairs then introduced Mancini, the World Boxing Association lightweight champion from 1982 to 1984.
"We all know someone who has lost their fight," Mancini said, "and I am honored to be in this beautiful setting with a room full of such wonderful supporters who want to help finish the fight."
Doran Mullen and Elizabeth Bowden
Quoting legendary basketball coach John Wooden, Mancini added: "I have two sage words of advice for everyone in this room: Help others."
Mancini's remarks were followed by Chris Collins, a Jupiter resident and cancer survivor.
At age 37 and with no family history or risk factors, she was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago and received Herceptin, a drug treatment discovered by an American Cancer Society-funded researcher.
"I am here tonight to say 'thank you.' Today, I am healthy and happy to be alive. And I will be here to finish the fight because of your help; so, thank you," she said at the Feb. 1, 2014, program.
Donald Trump and Vince Cerone
The evening also included a live auction, conducted by Quick, that featured a two-sided detachable pendant with 1.1 carats of pave diamonds on one side and 4.5 carats of Persian Turquoise on the reverse side donated by Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry.
Mancini also donated a case of his Southpaw Wines and offered to autograph each bottle.
Following the auction, there was a "Call to the Heart," in which every patron making a donation received a bottle of Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle champagne courtesy of Petra and Stephen Levin.
Pianist and singer Adam Austin performed during dinner and was followed by the band Heatwave.

The role of advanced programs in urban universities and the relationship between large public urban universities and comprehensive state universities in less-populated areas are addressed. An overview of the issues, case studies in three states, a study comparing students in two doctoral programs, and information on the characteristics of large urban universities in the South are considered. Among the issues are the following: pressures exerted on states to make graduate and professional programs available in cities are linked to the concentration of part-time students on urban campuses who desire these programs; urban universities are seeking funds for expansion, while other institutions that are facing declining enrollments are seeking additional funds primarily on the grounds of quality improvement; urban schools emphasize serving urban populations and solving urban problems, while they generally also seek to expand their advanced offering in traditional arts and sciences; and state higher education agencies are faced with the problem of accommodating urban demands for educational programs that would duplicate ones already in existence in their states. The universities profiled in the case reports include an older, established institution and two of the newer state universities in the nation: the University of Louisville, the University of South Florida, and George Mason University. The higher education systems and conditions in Kentucky, Florida, and Virginia are also covered. "A Comparison of Students of Two Doctoral Programs in an Urban and in a 'Flagship' University," by Eva C. Galambes compares the characteristics of doctoral students in the psychology programs at Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia. A bibliography and information on research methodology are appended. (SW)

TORONTO, ON - Cordoba Minerals Corp. reported additional high-grade intercepts from the ongoing resource expansion diamond drilling at the Alacran Deposit, located within the 100%-owned San Matias copper-gold project in Colombia.
Results from new step-out drill holes have demonstrated continuity of the stratabound copper and gold manto-style mineralization 100 metres down-dip and 50 metres to the northwest of the currently defined resource boundary of the Alacran Deposit. Hole ACD070 reported a significant manto intercept of 57.5 metres @ 0.65% copper and 0.43 g/t gold, including a new style of high-grade epithermal vein mineralization comprising a 1.3-metre-thick vein containing 11.30 g/t gold and 1.13% cobalt. The stratabound and the vein-style mineralization are open down-dip and on-strike to the northwest as highlighted on the long section.
Diamond drilling has continued to define the southern extension of Alacran, previously identified by hole ACD066, which was collared 200 metres to the south of the Inferred Mineral Resource. Hole ACD069 was collared 65 metres southwest of ACD066 and intersected 25.4 metres @ 0.71% copper and 0.14 g/t gold.
Mario Stifano, President and CEO of Cordoba Minerals, said "We are very pleased with the results we continue to receive from exploration drilling at Alacran. The recent results represent significant potential to extend and increase the scale of the current Alacran mineralized resource, particularly to the northwest with mineralization now extending over 1.4 kilometres in strike and up to 500 metres in lateral width. We continue to be excited and surprised by the prospectiveness of Alacran and the potential of the San Matias district with the discovery of new epithermal veins with high grade gold and cobalt that warrant continued drilling and exploration. We will continue to drill and define these highly prospective areas, and look forward to providing an updated resource estimate in Q1 2018."
