This question and answers come from our patient community.
Q: How do I get my doctor to give me a referral for BostonSight PROSE treatment?
A1: Make it easy for your doctor to say "yes". I got my referral by asking. My doctor encouraged me to exhaust all avenues before submitting to another eye surgery.
I went to the BostonSight website and printed out the Physician Referral Form and handed it to my doctor so all he had to do was fill in a few boxes, sign it, and hand it off to the tech. The doctor faxed it while I was in the exam room along with my EHR records. Amazing! I also had printed a couple of pages about PROSE so that if the doctor wasn't aware of this treatment, he could learn more. It showed him I was serious and had done my homework.
You may also want to fill out the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and hand it to your doctor - because it is "clinical" doctors may accept this more readily — I fill one out every few months to see how I'm progressing. Keep a copy for your records, too.
Good luck! — Linda S.
A2: If you don't have obvious signs, you will probably have to explain exactly how your eyes are impacting your day to day life. For example: I need to use drops every ___ minutes/hours otherwise my eyes feel like ___ . I can't do ___or ___, because it makes my eyes too painful (or however you'd describe it). I feel some level of discomfort in my eyes all the time, most of the time, or occasionally etc.
I think unless we spell it out, it's hard for them to know exactly how bad we are, especially if our eyes appear to be in pretty decent shape to them.
Also, worst case, if your doctor isn't aware of the role of PROSE in the treatment of dry eye, you could bring a copy of the Dry Eye Workshop report.
Good luck! — Sheralyn G.

New perspectives for more sustainability in agriculture.
At BASF we plan to strengthen our position as the world's leading chemical company. In the further developed strategy "We create chemistry," presented at the end of November, the company outlines how it wants to achieve this. The Chairman of BASF's Board of Executive Directors Dr. Kurt Bock pointed out that the company had achieved its leading position thanks to its successful strategy in the past years: "We will build on this and make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of a growing world population." BASF sees population growth as a crucial trend that brings on the one hand enormous global challenges, but on the other hand offers many additional opportunities, in particular for the chemical industry. In accordance with sustainable development, BASF will play a role with regard to conserving resources, ensuring healthy food and nutrition and improving people's quality of life.
"We have summarized what we do as a company in our corporate purpose: We create chemistry for a sustainable future," said Bock.
Sustainability is becoming one of the main drivers of growth and value creation. BASF's customers want sustainable products and system solutions, and the company's employees expect BASF to closely integrate sustainability into its day-to-day activities. "More sustainability can only be achieved through innovation - and that is where chemistry plays an essential role," said Dr. Martin Brudermüller, Vice Chairman of BASF's Board of Executive Directors. In the future, sustainability will therefore be even more strongly integrated into business decisions.
UN Global Compact Executive Director Georg Kell and UN Global Compact Board Member Fu Chengyu sign the Memorandum of Understanding.
BASF, the world's leading chemical company, is joining other organizations and leading cpmpanies in China on the founding board of the United Nations Global Compact China Network.
"The Global Compact China Network will play an important role in integrating Chinese companies and multinationals in China into a more sustainable economy," said Mr. Georg Kell, Global Compact Executive Director. "The UN Global Compact will provide its support in your sustainability endeavors."
BASF was a founder of the UN Global Compact platform in 2000, a call to companies around the world to align their strategies and operations with ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, as well as the UN Global Compact LEAD initiative in early 2011, a platform that sets a new benchmark for corporate sustainability.
Based on its long experience with Eco-Efficiency Analysis and SEEBALANCE®, BASF has developed AgBalance", a method to measure and assess sustainability in agriculture.
As a provider of agricultural solutions, BASF aims to increase knowledge about sustainable agriculture and contribute to a fact-based dialogue, as well as using these insights for developing innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers.
In AgBalance, a variety of indicators and weighting schemes enable BASF to evaluate sustainable practices along the entire food value chain. To achieve this, 69 indicators, each linked to one of the three pillars of sustainability (economy, environment and society) are calculated through an assessment of almost 200 evaluation factors. Therewith AgBalance" allows the comparison of different farming systems, processes and products, by identifying weaknesses, drivers of sustainability and potential solutions.
Charlene Wall-Warren, Sustainability Leader for BASF North America at her opening speech.
In November 2011, TSC opened its European office in The Hague, Netherlands, with Princess Máxima of the Netherlands presiding over the official ribbon-cutting ceremony. BASF's commitment to sustainable development and role as the first chemical company to become a founding member was featured on the agenda, along with the World Wide Fund for Nature, and several other member companies. The Wageningen University will house the new office.
"We are pleased to participate in TSC's global expansion" stated Charlene Wall-Warren, Sustainability Leader for BASF North America. "BASF is well-positioned to help our customers be more successful as value chain partners collaborate to create more sustainable consumer goods over time, with our innovation capabilities in nearly all industries.
At the event, a lively group discussion on social labor standards, different perspectives and suggestions for sustainable development.
In October, the BASF Greater China Procurement team held the "2011 Supplier Day - Sustainability Loves Growth" in Shanghai, attracting some 70 external and 30 internal participants. The event paves the way for strategic partnerships between BASF and its suppliers by promoting a common understanding in the area of sustainability and identifying opportunities for further improvement.
Since 2007, the BASF Greater China Procurement team has hosted the annual BASF Supplier Day. The Supplier Day gave evidence that sustainability is a joined effort and that sharing information and best practices is an important element to strengthen business relations and to move on to a globally sustainable economy.

European Water Stewardship (EWS) is a system for companies and agricultural organizations, in order to evaluate and review their use of water in regards to sustainability criteria. Four principles play a role: withdrawal amount (quantity), water pollution (quality), biodiversity and water management.
EWS was developed jointly in collaboration between NGOs, government and businesses. The European Water Partnership (EWP) initiated and coordinated the project as an independent non-profit organization representing the responsible use of water.
BASF played a significant role in developing EWS, as the new voluntary industry standard which was introduced in the presence of EU-Commissioner Janez Potocnik in Brussels end of November. Before its introduction, BASF tested the system in a pilot at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen.
By 2020 BASF will launch sustainable water management systems on the basis of the EWS standards at all sites, which are in "water stress areas" - meaning in areas where water is a scarce good.
Daimler and BASF have developed a new concept vehicle that combines both companies' ideas for holistic electric mobility.
Together with BASF, smart demonstrates its leading role in the use of forward-looking technologies above and beyond the drive system. The joint concept vehicle smart forvision presented at the 2011 International Motor Show in Frankfurt combines a futuristic design with technologies relating to energy efficiency, lightweight design and temperature management.
This project not only shows that electric mobility can make emission-free driving possible. At the same time it paves the way for new technologies in the automotive sector. Many of these innovations are based on nano technology, the key to the development of sustainable solutions. Nano materials serve as drivers of innovation in the automotive industry, as they do in the fields of construction, energy, healthcare and electronics.
Butonal modified asphalt emulsions in use
In 2011, BASF held its first North American Sustainability Contest, selecting three top examples where BASF sustainable solutions helped its customers to be more successful while ensuring sustainable development.
The Functional Polymers and Construction Chemicals businesses partnered with external stakeholders in northern Latin America to demonstrate the high eco-efficiency of Butonal modified asphalt emulsions to protect concrete roads, reducing the noise while increasing safety and comfort. This technology was applied on the "Corredor Sur" bridge, which is the main entrance to Panama City, Panama.
BASF Construction Chemicals Admixture Systems helped customers create more sustainable structures with Green Sense® Concrete, enabling lower energy and water consumption, lower emissions and better utilization of waste materials during construction. Engineering Plastics developed a chair that uses 111 recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles that might otherwise be sent to a landfill. BASF collaborated with The Coca-Cola Company and other value chain partners to create a useful chair built by Emeco, a renowned classic chair manufacturer that turns the goal of increasing the recycling of PET bottles into a reality.
Children from rural areas receive supper at Merendero Nueva Esperanza every day.
Chagas is a deadly endemic disease transmitted by parasites, an insect known as "Vinchuca". The World Health Organization estimates that in Latin America 8 million individuals are infected by this parasite; in Argentina alone around 2 million. Poverty and marginal conditions enhance the presence of the insect close to the houses.
"Vamos por nuestro país" is BASF Argentina's social responsibility program, which has been running since 2010. This program comprises different community promotion initiatives to approach poverty-related issues.
The first phase of the initiative is a Chagas disease prevention program in Concepción del Bermejo, a 10.000 inhabitant village in the north of Argentina, where people live in extreme poverty. The program is being implemented as part of a cooperation agreement with the local government and the NGO Solidagro. BASF undertook the commitment to contribute to the implementation of a joint public-private and community based initiative to apply a strategy comprising insect control, monitoring and treatment of the disease with the purpose of significantly reducing the incidence of the disease in an affected area. BASF developed a self-sustainable and replicable model, one that will permit continuity and outreach to other communities after the three years of BASF's participation in the program.
Shanthi, one of the beneficiaries of the drinking water project in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.
BASF in partnership with UN-HABITAT and Foundation for Ecological Research Advocacy and Learning (FERAL) has taken up a water and sanitation project in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu, to provide sustainable relief to the victims of the 2004 tsunami. 13.500 people from 28 villages have been identified as beneficiaries and will receive access to clean water and toilets.
Drinking water comes home: the water project has changed many people's life. Villagers like Shanthi, a single mother of five children, used to spend two hours a day to collect water from a tap located 5 kilometers away. Today fresh water is just a few steps away. Four community hand pumps were installed in the village to supply clean and portable water to 180 families.

The new Toyota Supra is finally here, with the car maker revealing all the details after years of speculations and weeks of leaked images.
And while the rest of the world is getting the new Toyota Supra with a six-cylinder engine only, JDM customers are getting two extra four-cylinder options in the menu.
The base JDM version of the Toyota Supra is the SZ, powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit with 194hp (197PS) and 236lb-ft (320Nm) of torque. Toyota claims a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 6.5 seconds for the Supra SZ. Toyota says the base SZ "allows for a brisk driving sensation from in-town to highway".
The other four-cylinder Supra is the SZ-R, which offers 254hp (258PS) and 295lb-ft (400Nm) of torque, making it capable of a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 5.2 seconds. According to Toyota, the mid-range JDM Supra "is ideal for light, sporty driving".
Both four-cylinder versions of the Supra are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, making it sort-of official that Toyota won't offer it with a manual, at least not for now fingers crossed.
The 194hp Supra SZ comes with a curb weight of 1,410kg (3,108lbs) while the 254hp Supra SZ-R sits at 1,450kg (3,196lbs). These figures are official calculations.
The JDM range of the new Toyota Supra is of course topped by the turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six RZ version. Power is rated at 335hp (340PS) and 368lb-ft (500Nm) of torque. Paired also to an eight-speed automatic transmission, Japan's range-topping Supra is capable of a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 4.3 seconds.
Sales of the new Toyota Supra in Japan are slated to start this spring as the first global model of Toyota Gazoo Racing's GR series.
Is the new 194hp version of the Toyota Supra going to kill the GT86 / 86?
whats with the side profile, short wheelbase and overly long overhangs? especially at the front. looks weird tbh.
Same design as the concept yet they managed to kill the aggression in it.
I wish Toyota would have named this car anything but Supra. .
Supra Z4, or TMW Supra – Toyatische Motoren Werke Supra. Is it OK ?
Frankenstein child of a BMW Z4 & Mazda RX7. This is not a Supra! The designer & marketing team should be forced seppuku!
This car doesn't deserve the Supra name. And please redesign the front bumper, that's too much.
So where's the mention of the M-based Supra Gazoo Racing super duper version with the M2 competition's engine?
I hope the 2.0 litre versions eventually reach Europe.
This car looks very strange to me. I want to like it because I always liked the Supra but this thing just doesn't look good from almost any angle, in my opinion. I am sure some my like it but considering the market for two seater sports cars is shrinking and how this looks, I can see very low sales numbers in its future. Seems like Mazda is one of the few Japanese manufactures who can still design cars.
They should be announcing more powerful versions, not less powerful ones lol. 335hp for the top version is laughable.
Obviously, you do not know German engines are way UNDERrated.
Toyota should've gotten the 4 cylinder from Subaru. It's got more power than the V6 variant.
Boom there it is. What a beauti.
Boom there its is, relegated to a picture on my desktop cause i need my kidneys.
Dreams, just like being a kid a gain just the car is attainable if i was single , stayed with my mom still and bought it.
You are just poor. Now, pour me some whine.
………………………..and who is the manufacturer of the 4-cyl engine, may I ask ?
It's those Germans from Munich, obviously.
90's comeback fail. I don't feel bad for them though.
Idk. Seems to me that the new Supra is kinda ugly. It's way too overcrowded with so many different lines and panels and whatnot. The original Supra was simple, had a fluid design while still being down-to-earth and focused on performance.

Stage Thrust, with Bobo the Theater Ho
Facts, opinions, rumors and innuendoes about the theater scene in Spokane, Washington
On translating Shakespeare and keeping theaters alive
[ from tasss.com: "Totally Awesome Super Sweet Stuff / Fighting the forces of lame" presents the William Shakespeare Celebriduck ]
Two articles in the January issue of American Theatre magazine -- an issue devoted to vocal training for actors — caught Bobo's eye in particular:
pp. 94-99, John McWhorter's "The Real Shakespearean Tragedy," arguing that all that 400-year-old language needs to be updated in ways that today's theatergoers will find understandable
pp. 104-07, Eliza Bent's "Save Our Ship," on what marketing strategies should be followed by theaters that are in danger of dying a slow (or sudden) financial death (which I'll examine in my next post).
First, the Shakespeare. Using numerous examples, McWhorter points out that even people who are trained in Shakespeare don't understand Shakespeare anymore.
Beowulf, written 1,200 years ago, may be in English, but nobody denies that it needs translating (as in Seamus Heaney's great example), or else nobody but grad students would read it ever again. McWhorter's basic argument is that Shakespeare has reached the same point.
"Shakespeare is not a drag because we are lazy, because we are poorly educated, or because he wrote in poetic language," he says. "Shakespeare is a drag because he wrote in a language which, as a natural consequence of the mighty eternal process of language change, 500 years later we effectively no longer speak."
(The "500 years" is a bizarre mistake -- 400 is much closer to the truth. But that's a minor point.)
All this hit Bobo with resonance because he just had the pleasure of adapting The Comedy of Errors for Bill Marlowe's upcoming production in March.
Actually -- to back up a bit — I started modernizing the Errors script a couple of years ago for Michael Weaver and Actors Rep; Michael wanted to do a relatively simple, straightforward and funny Shakespeare in some upcoming, never-to-happen season (so that explains the choice of Errors) AND he wanted to reduce the cast down to just eight, or preferably six or seven, actors. I had the idea that the same actor could play both master-twins AND another actor could play both servant-twins (thus reducing cast size AND increasing the audience's confusion -- I wanted to put viewers in the same position as the onstage characters -- that is, of not being at all sure which twin was going to come through that doorway next.)
Alas, ARt went kaput and so did my Errors dream, until I noticed that Marlowe was going to direct it.
So Bobo set to work with several goals. First, I tried to persuade Bill about my twins idea, but at a community college, cast size is not a problem, so that went by the wayside.
More important, I set about
1. Cutting out the boring parts. I cut the script by about 21 percent. There are a lot of four-century-old jokes that just ain't funny anymore.
2. Modernizing the language: "reft" became "robbed"; "carcanet" became "necklace new"; "carriage" became "manners"; "situate" became "living"; "Diet his" became "Tend to his"; terms of insult got changed from "huh?" to slightly off-color disparagements; most of the "thee's" and "thou's" got thrown out, and so on.
3. Changing place names and character names. One of the main characters in the original is named Antipholus of Ephesus. Sounds like a disease. (Plus, Ephesus isn't remembered much at all today, outside the Pauline epistles, as a place of sorcery and magic.) In our production, he has become Sir Nicholas of ... a place you'll recognize. (Indeed, the place names have all been changed to Inland Northwest locales.)
Most of this needed to be done within the constraints of the 10-syllables-to-the-line requirements of iambic pentameter.
The point being: McWhorter's right. Perhaps especially in the comedies, we have to get rid of the "WTF?" moments and all the head-scratchers (and worse, all the words that we THINK we know the meaning of, except that Will used them in a completely different way). Comedy isn't funny until it's clear. We need to make The Comedy of Errors, written about 420 years ago, clear. It's come time to admit it: Shakespeare may be in English, but he still needs to be translated for us.

I began my translating Shakespeare plays into modern English about 10 years ago after reading an earlier version of John McWhorter's article.

What a fascinating approach to the Bard, Bobo. Can't wait to see the results. Best wishes!
Beautiful. We wouldn't insist on performing Moliere only in French, whether or not our audience understood it. I think it's important to update and translate Elizabethan English as well. If the story and the concepts carry over and are still relevant, it just proves the genius of the original versions.

Remembering Tommy Lasorda, the good, the bad, and the hilarious rants
Jesse Spector
Tommy Lasorda has gone to the Great Dodger in the Sky.
Tommy Lasorda is dead at the age of 93, a Hall of Fame manager and one of baseball's legendary characters who bled Dodger blue through and through.
The Dodgers, whom Lasorda pitched for in Brooklyn and managed to World Series wins in 1981 and 1988, announced the icon's death on Friday. Lasorda died on Thursday night of a sudden heart attack. His record as Dodgers manager: 1599-1439 and won his division eight times.
Beyond his triumphs on the field, Lasorda will be remembered for a lot of comedy in baseball, some stemming from his own anger, like his protest of a non-call of interference on Reggie Jackson in the 1978 World Series.
There also was Lasorda's reaction to being asked his thoughts on Dave Kingman's performance — by then-reporter and now Yankee Stadium public address announcer Paul Olden — after Kingman hit three home runs against the Dodgers.
He also once got Youppi!, the Expos mascot, kicked out of a game.
Then there was the 2001 All-Star Game, when Lasorda was the subject of some physical comedy, knocked over by Vladimir Guerrero's loose bat in a clip that became a staple of blooper reels for decades to come, thanks to the fact that Lasorda was okay.
And there was that incredible time he got into it with the Phillie Phanatic, hitting the hilarious mascot with a stuffed Lasorda dummy made to mock him.
Established as such a character, and famous for his big belly, Lasorda got a gig in the 1990s as a pitchman for Slim-Fast, another reason that he's so well remembered.
But it wasn't just a life of baseball and good humor. Lasorda had a darker side, such as proclaiming that he hoped V. Stiviano "gets hit with a car," as a bizarre way of trying to stand up for his friend, the legendary racist owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling. More recently, Lasorda also had to apologize for telling a fan from Korea, "Why don't you go back there?"
And he denied that his own son, who was gay and died of AIDS, was gay and died of AIDS.
Because of those things, it was always a little uncomfortable that Lasorda was known as "baseball's authentic ambassador of goodwill."
Lasorda's death leaves four surviving members of the 1955 world champion Brooklyn Dodgers: pitchers Roger Craig, Carl Erskine, Jim Hughes, and Sandy Koufax.
Sorry to all the other Jesse Spectors for ruining your Google results.

We say Yes to Michael Nau !
Michael Nau has well and truly taken off since his departure from Page France and Cotton Jones.


The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) today published a detailed plan for proposed enhancements to its settlement processing for money market instruments (MMIs) to improve intraday settlement finality and further reduce credit and liquidity risk in the MMI market.
DTCC, through its depository, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), will enhance its settlement model to eliminate risks associated with intraday reversals of transactions in DTC's MMI system that are the result of issuer failure. Subject to regulatory approval, the proposed changes are detailed in a service description paper entitled "Increasing Certainty and Promoting Intraday Settlement Finality."
"DTCC continually examines how to further reduce risk in the financial system and the proposed changes to MMI transaction processing aim to help eliminate the credit risk that IPAs still face today," said Andrew Gray, DTCC managing director, Core Business Management.
Under the current MMI model, Issuing and Paying Agents (IPA) banks, who act on behalf of issuers, can instruct DTC to issue a "refusal to pay" for its maturity obligations up to 3 p.m. EST when the IPA has not received adequate funding from the issuer. In the event of a "refusal to pay," DTC will reverse all valued transactions processed for the designated issuer on the current day. MMI reversals compromise intraday settlement finality and create uncertainty for clients.
The proposed MMI settlement model will require changes to DTC's "refusal to pay" procedures and to current market practices by investors, issuers, custodians, placement agents dealers and IPAs. These changes will allow MMI transactions to be processed intraday for end-of-day net funds settlement and without the risk of reversal prior to settlement, currently associated with a "refusal to pay."
"DTCC has played a key role in the growth and expansion of the MMI market by providing significant settlement efficiencies in the processing of these instruments," said Daniel Thieke, DTCC managing director and general manager, Settlement and Asset Services. "DTCC is committed to strengthening intraday settlement finality and reducing risk exposure to help better protect and preserve the MMI market and the intee integrity of the financial system."
Maintaining the current level of intraday and end of day liquidity requirements for DTC clients.
In the wake of the financial crisis, DTCC and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) formed the MMI Blue Sky Task Force ("the Task Force") to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the current MMI settlement system and work collaboratively to develop ways to further reduce risk in the processing of these transactions. In 2012, the Task Force created a model to eliminate intraday reversals of MMI transactions in the DTC system and has since further defined the concept, outlined in the DTCC service description paper.
In addition, DTCC supports the CPSS-IOSCO Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures, which state that Financial Market Infrastructures should promote final settlement intraday or in real time. To comply with these guidelines, DTC seeks to modify the current MMI process that allows an IPA to issue a "refusal to pay," which triggers a reversal of MMI deliveries prior to settlement. CPSS-IOSCO stands for the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the Technical Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
The MMI enhancements are also referenced in two DTCC white papers published in December 2012: "A Roadmap for Promoting Intraday Settlement Finality in U.S. Markets" and "Reducing Risk and Enhancing Intraday Finality in the Settlement of Money Market Instruments."

Tuesday is the day we Power Your Property. We're taking a look at property headlines over the past week with Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at real estate firm JLL and CEO of Showsuite. Credit rating agency Moody's changed its outlook on Hong Kong's rating to negative from stable yesterday, reflecting what it called the rising risk of"an erosion in the strength of Hong Kong's institutions" amid the city's ongoing protests. How will it affect Hong Kong's property market? In Singapore, official data yesterday showed that sales of private homes by developers in Singapore rose 81.9 per cent in August from a year earlier. What does this mean for the private property market?

Freehold Watten Estate Condominium is up for collective sale with a reserve price of 536 million dollars.This translates to a land rate of over 1,738 dollars per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). It was first put up for en bloc sale back in 2007 - at that time, with a price tag of 480 million dollars. Private home prices in Singapore rose 1.5 per cent in the second quarter of this year after a 0.7 per cent decline in the previous quarter. This is according to data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority on Friday.
Powering Your Property: 80 percent of One Pearl Bank sold
Last week we talked about how One Pearl Bank drew 4,000 people to its public preview. And, yesterday, its developer CapitaLand said it's sold 80 per cent of the 200 units released over the weekend, at an average price of 2,400 dollars per square foot. Impressive numbers all round. Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at real estate firm JLL, and CEO of Showsuite shares more. Meanwhile, over at Bukit Timah, Beauty World Plaza's second en bloc attempt at an unchanged reserve price of 165 million dollars failed to draw any takers.
Powering Your Property: One Pearl Bank, private home sales and foreign buyers
More than 4,000 people turned up at the One Pearl Bank public preview over the weekend. Will this translate to actual sales? Developers in Singapore sold 821 private homes in June, down nearly 14 per cent from the figure in May, but it's more than 25 per cent higher than last June. How will the market move in July? And could the increase in foreign property buyers bring a new round of cooling measures? Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at real estate firm JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares his insights.
Power Your Property: Private property prices hit a five-year high in Singapore?
Private residential property prices rallied in the second quarter to hit a five-year high. At the same time, resale flat prices are in the doldrums. Analysts seem divided over whether private home prices will keep rising. What's also happening in the resale market? Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at real estate firm JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares for his insights.
Powering Your Property: Outlook for the second half of 2019
The government is reducing the supply of private residential units on its confirmed list for the second-half 2019 Government Land Sales Programme. This makes the upcoming half-year's supply the lowest since the first half of 2007. Meanwhile, the Housing Board said new HDB flats - launched from February this year - will now come with condo-like finishings at a fraction of the cost. Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at JLL and CEO of Showsuite, offers his analysis.
Powering Your Property: CPF housing loan changes and URA's decision on Airbnb
Homebuyers will now have greater flexibility to use their CPF when buying older homes as long as the remaining lease of the property can cover the buyer until they turn at least 95 years of age.

Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares his insights.
Powering Your Property: Amber Park, Laurel Tree & Sycamore Tree OK
Amber Park in East Coast is off to a good start, selling 115 of the 150 units that were offered at launch - at an average $2,425 psf. It's a strong showing compared to new projects in the vicinity, some of which saw single-digit sales at launch. What does this mean for upcoming properties in East Coast? Meanwhile, the party behind two unfinished projects - Laurel Tree and Sycamore Tree - has been put under receivership - sparking fears that there may be other such cases. Are such fears unfounded? Karamjit Singh, senior consultant of JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares his insights.

Powering Your Property: Laguna Park, off Marine Parade Road, makes a fourth en bloc attempt at a time when researchers say more than 30 en bloc attempts have failed since July's cooling measures were introduced.

Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at real estate firm JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares his insights.
Powering Your Property: Mismatch of residential take-up and launches in Q1
Developers launched close to 3,000 units in the first quarter, compared to the under 1,700 units launched in the 4th quarter of last year, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority's quarterly figures. But they sold 1,838 units in Q1, which is similar to the 1,836 units sold in Q4. What impact will this have on launches and prices over the next few months? Meanwhile, Sim Lim Square is going en bloc - how attractive is this site to developers? Karamjit Singh, senior consultant at JLL and CEO of Showsuite, shares his insights.
Florence Residences Sells Close To 60 Units At Launch

Marketing has always been associated with revenue generation and growth, but a rising number of marketing leaders now contend that business growth is the raison d'etre of the marketing function. Recent research shows that many marketing leaders believe they have become primarily responsible for driving growth in their organization, and that this belief is shared by CEOs and other senior executives.
Despite this view, however, the recent research also suggests that most marketers have not moved beyond conventional marketing tactics in their efforts to drive growth. For example, in a recent survey of CMOs and other senior marketing leaders by the CMO Council and Deloitte, more than 40% of the respondents said they were working on brand shaping and campaign execution activities, but only 6% said they were actively involved in growing revenue across all business activities.
If both senior marketing leaders and other C-suite executives see the need for marketing to play broader role in growth, why have so few CMOs taken up the challenge? Many CMOs want to be growth leaders, but haven't been given the formal authority to play that role. In these circumstances, they key is to build credibility with the CEO and other members of the senior leadership team and thereby earn the right to exert influence over company-wide growth initiatives.
Some industry commentators have argued that the most effective way to expand the impact of marketing on growth is to focus on customer insights. A recent article in the Deloitte Review urged CMOs to "relentlessly pursue customer expertise" and use that expertise to gain influence with other business functions. The authors contend that marketing leaders should develop expertise about the entire customer journey (including those parts owned by other business functions) and then leverage that expertise to build partnerships with other company leaders to improve customer experiences.
Developing expertise about the customer journey is obviously a critical part of marketing's job, but it's not the whole job. In order to identify and effectively exploit all growth opportunities, marketing leaders need to develop market expertise as well as customer expertise.
How fast is the overall market growing? Are some segments of the market growing significantly faster than others?
Who are the major competitors in the market? Is the market fragmented, or is it dominated by a few large competitors?
How profitable is the overall market? Are some market or customer segments significantly more profitable than others?
Is the market composed of a large number of small customers or a relatively small number of larger customers?
How easy or difficult is it for new competitors to enter the market?
Is the market vulnerable to substitute products and/or services?
This list is far from complete, but it provides an indication of the kinds of issues that marketing leaders should be analyzing on a regular basis.
Market expertise also requires a clear understanding of the behaviors of potential buyers. The recent emphasis on delivering outstanding customer experiences has elevated the importance of understanding how and where customers and prospects interact with the business and what they are trying to accomplish during those interactions. Customer insights like these can be used to improve customer experiences, which will contribute to growth.
These insights are important, but growth-oriented marketers also need to understand the behaviors of potential buyers who do not become customers. More specifically, marketers need to identify whether potential buyers who become customers engage in different behaviors (or certain behaviors more frequently) than potential buyers who do not become customers. In many cases, these behavioral differences will reveal where marketers can have a major impact on business growth.
In my next post, I'll discuss how identifying and quantifying the behaviors of potential buyers can help marketers identify untapped growth opportunities.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child get a check-up with an orthodontist at the first recognition of the existence of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7. Early detection of any orthodontic problems is important in order to take early corrective action and avoid more difficult treatment later.
The significance of age 7 is that by then, your child has enough permanent teeth for us to determine whether an orthodontic problem exists or is developing. Like most problems in life, orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they're found early. Dr. Ryan Caudill adds, "early detection of orthodontic problems does not necessarily mean treatment, but if early treatment is needed, our team may be able to achieve results that may not be as easy once your child's face and jaws have finished growing."
Our team is expert in making your child feel comfortable and an active participant in the evaluation process. Caudill Orthodontics has two convenient locations serving Brevard County, Florida – Melbourne and Merritt Island.

Tour de France riders set to bake in heatwave
Julian Alaphilippe (AFP)
Published Tuesday, July 23, 2019
With the action on the Tour de France already red hot, Geraint Thomas and his challengers for ultimate victory are bracing for a head-on collision with a heatwave bearing temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) and above over the next three days.
That coincides with three mountain stages in the Alps that test top riders at the best of times but will probe the outer limits of endurance in a heatwave.
Cycling fans worldwide and especially in France are transfixed by the 21-day Tour this year with two Frenchman in the victory frame ahead of Sunday's grandstand finish along the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Julian Alaphilippe holds the leader's yellow jersey and his compatriot Thibaut Pinot sits firmly in the running to wrestle the title from defending champion Thomas with six stages remaining.
Thomas has already complained of overheating on a stage last week. But now he insists that he has no fear of temperatures soaring beyond anything experienced on the Tour so far.
"The heat won't make any difference, it's the same for everyone in the race," said the Welsh 2018 champion.
He was speaking ahead of Tuesday's stage, a loop around Nimes in France's southern region, where the pavements were already baking by morning.
But with the heat cranking up towards 40 degrees as the race crosses the baking Rhone Valley on Wednesday, riders will arrive for the first of three brutal Alpine slogs on Thursday for some dreadful reckoning in the mountains.
"This is the third week of racing and these high temperatures are sure to make a difference," Alaphilippe's boss Davide Bramati said.
The last stage to be run under high temperatures was last Thursday at Pau where Thomas, who had been expecting to win, was stunned to find himself trailing home 14 seconds slower than the former soldier Alaphilippe.
"I was overheating," said Thomas. "Over the final eight kilometres I just couldn't find the kick."
Former rider Denis Roux, who works with Tour partners Krys and who finished in the top ten on the 1988 edition, told AFP that riders react differently to heat with some fading while others prosper.
"Personally I loved the heat. Some like it hot, some don't," said Roux.
"Some guys just don't feel well, especially if there is no wind, which makes it much worse, then you start losing salt and that gets you," said Roux, who took part in six Tours de France.
Another former rider at the starting line Tuesday said the heatwave would have an effect but would unsettle some riders more than others.
"Of course it makes a difference," said 83-year-old Tour legend Raymond Poulidor.
"In this heat some riders just can't hack it," said the man famous for eight Tour podiums, but none of them on the top step.
Team doctors on the Tour de France are fully aware that the heat can make a rider hit the wall.
"Cyclists are usually psychologically tough," said Jacky Maillot, the team doctor at the FDJ team for whom French title hopeful Pinot rides.
"A rider can lose up to a litre of sweat per hour. And when that happens you cannot fully rehydrate, only by half a litre per hour," he said.
"Different riders react in different ways, but when the heat goes over 39 degrees, performances drop for all the riders," he added.
"So teams need to prepare for riders to have two water bottles (500ml each) with them at all times and hopefully drink three of them every hour," said Maillot on a stage that is likely to take five hours, meaning 15 bidons of water for each rider.

Man dies after being gunned down in busy shopping center
Joe Goldeen Record Staff Writer @JoeGoldeen
STOCKTON — An 18-year-old man died following a shooting in broad daylight in a busy southwest Stockton shopping center Sunday afternoon, police reported.
First responders were called to the Weston Ranch Center on Manthey Road about 5:20 p.m.
"We located a shooting victim inside a vehicle. The victim has been transported to a hospital," Stockton police spokesman Joe Silva reported about 30 minutes after the shooting. Four hours later, Silva reported the victim died at the hospital.
No further information was provided about the incident by authorities.
A large police contingent remained at the shopping center throughout the evening talking to potential witnesses and searching for evidence inside an area secured by police tape in front of six businesses.
The 18-year-old was driving a black BMW two-door convertible when he was shot. The sports car ended up with its trunk crashing into the trunk of a parked silver Honda, pushing the Honda onto the sidewalk in front of a pizza parlor.
A man who works in the shopping center came outside after the crash and witnessed the victim slumped over the steering wheel with the motor still running and the tires spinning and smoking. He said first responders had to break the driver's window to gain access and turn the engine off.
The witness, who declined to state his name because he was not authorized by his employer to speak to the media, said dozens of people gathered around the crash scene before police and other emergency crews arrived.
He said he saw a female get out of the passenger side of the two-seat BMW. She was calm and remained at the scene. He saw her later speaking with police.
"The whole scene was odd," the witness said.
Another witness — Emiliano Valencia, who lives nearby — was in his vehicle in the parking lot when he observed "two cars going crazy. It happened quick. They were trying to speed."
Valencia said he then heard two shots. Right after that, Valencia said it appeared the BMW driver "lost control and backed into the parked car."
Valencia said "it was really, really scary."

Fostering is the lifeblood of rescue. WBCR has no facility — without foster families, we would not be able to save the lives of Border Collies in danger. Because all of the dogs in our program are in foster care, our ability to save lives is completely dependent on the number of available foster homes. Every foster home can mean not just one but two lives saved: the dog being rescued from a shelter, and another dog for whom space opens up in the shelter.
Fostering is work of the heart and it's not always easy, but it is the most direct and meaningful way to help Border Collies in need. Fosters help a dog to feel safe, to grow, to learn about love and happiness and find their place in the world. It's an experience like nothing else.
Fostering is a complex and greatly varied undertaking, and people who foster have a variety of motivations. By far, the most common reservation we hear about fostering is, "I could never do it; I could never let them go." But those of us who have fostered many dogs over the years will tell you that you can absolutely enjoy and appreciate a dog and then let them go. First, dogs are as individual as people, and not every dog that comes through your home will be a great fit for you or visa versa — call it chemistry. Which means you really won't fall in love with every foster! But even if it feels like your foster dog could be a great fit in your home, it helps to know that WBCR's approved adopters tend to be very well-qualified people, able to offer a dog a life that is as good – or better – than your own. So, if you are only willing to let a dog go to a home just like yours (or better), then WBCR fostering is for you. At WBCR, foster families are very involved in deciding who adopts their fostered dog, so when it comes time to let them go, you can be confident that it's a great match, and that your foster dog will thrive in his/her new forever home. Many WBCR fosters stay in touch with adopters, watching from afar their former fosters thriving as beloved companions to compatible families.
The greatest motivation for fostering is in looking at the bigger picture. For many fosters, it is always in the back of our minds that there is another dog out there whose life is in danger and who needs rescue. This sometimes eases the decision to let a foster go to an adoptive home, allowing another dog in need to then come to you. As a foster, you can help save many more dogs than you ever could as an adopter. In the end, the gift is in the goodbye, to send your foster dog off to a loving forever home and to help the next one in need.
If fostering is something you might be interested in, we'd love to talk with you! We welcome you to complete the foster application below, and we'll get in touch with you to answer questions, address concerns, and get you started on this wonderful journey. WBCR offers support and guidance to new and veteran fosters alike, and now with our new Foster Mentor program, this support is more thorough than ever before.
Each foster experience is unique and is tailored to your needs as well as your foster dog's. You may foster an adult dog that is housetrained, socialized, and well-behaved. Or you may foster a puppy who needs basic training, like housebreaking. Another dog may have some behavioral issues or be scared of its own shadow. An older dog may need medication. Fostering experiences are as varied as the dogs, but we will do our best to match your foster dog(s) to your family and lifestyle.
What are my responsibilities as a WBCR foster?
You will need to provide your foster dog with food, water, a safe place to stay, lots of love, exercise, and in many cases some training. We ask that you treat your foster dog like you would treat your own while providing love, guidance, and training to increase his or her adoptability – that's what fostering is all about.
WBCR's goal is to make sure every dog we rescue never needs rescue again. We take the time to ensure each and every dog is placed in a loving forever home that is well matched to his/her new family's lifestyle, activity level and environment. WBCR relies on its foster homes to provide information on their foster dog's temperament, likes/dislikes, special needs/issues and more to ensure the dog's proper placement into a forever home.
What support does WBCR offer?
Western Border Collie Rescue will assist you throughout the entire fostering process, from Day 1 to adoption day. If crates, leashes, collars, toys, training, behavior recommendations, etc. are needed, we will work with you to provide them. WBCR pays for vet expenses and some of the basic care expenses for the dogs in its care.
How long does a foster placement last?
It varies. Some fosters (typically adorable puppies and older issue-free dogs) may be adopted within a month or less. Other dogs, especially those that are older, have special needs or behavioral issues, may take several months to be matched to their perfect forever homes.
Can I set restrictions on the kind of dog I am willing to foster or the time of year I foster?
ABSOLUTELY. You're always free to say you can't or won't or don't want to foster a dog for any reason and we will always respect that.
Our Foster to Adopt program is great for those folks ultimately interested in adopting a dog, but we may not currently have a suitable match for them in rescue. We would look for a potential match from the dogs waiting to come into rescue, then ask you to foster the dog for at least two weeks. During those two weeks, you get to spend time with the dog and determine whether you'd like to adopt, making it a permanent situation. After two weeks of fostering, should you decide your foster dog isn't a great fit as a permanent addition to your family, we will post the dog as available for adoption and work to find him/her a forever home.
Interested in fostering but not quite ready to fill out an application? Reach out to us below with your questions and we'll get back to you ASAP!

On the Rise: The Coming Adams Morgan Resurgence
D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood is facing a major resurgence: Nearly 700 new residences, a 220-room boutique hotel, and several new restaurants are on the way. Residents and shop owners alike welcome the coming changes.
John T. Murray	Mar 29, 2017
With nearly 700 new residences under development and the mid-May opening of a 220-room boutique hotel, Adams Morgan is facing a major resurgence. The neighborhood is seeing investment in eight new residential buildings, the transformation of a 1912 neoclassical church, the addition of several anticipated restaurants, and a major modernization to the aging Marie Reed Community Center.
Residents and shop owners alike welcome the coming changes as Adams Morgan continues to shift from its long-standing image as a nightlife party destination to a vibrant, culturally diverse commercial district — all while maintaining its colorful, whimsical, bohemian character. The shift has been gradual, from the 2008 opening of Harris Teeter to the 2011 Streetscape Project that widened the sidewalks of 18th Street. But last year picked up speed when we saw the nicely renovated Kalorama Park, the opening of Ace Hardware, and the upscale wine and beer mart The Bottle Shop.
While we did see the closing of iconic dive bar Millie & Al's, 2016 also brought a slew of new dining spots such as Ababa, Ben Tre, Federalist Pig, Insomnia Cookies, Johnny's Half Shell, Los Cuates, Osteria Al Volo, Philz Coffee, and Tail Up Goat.
As the revitalization continues, the changes scheduled through 2019 are certain to have an impact on the neighborhood economy and visual landscape. Here is an overview of planned developments:
First up: Reed Row and The Line Hotel
Arriving in May are Reed Row and The Line Hotel. At 2101 Champlain St., Reed Row features 132 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from $1,800 to $4,300 per month. Amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, outdoor Zen garden, rooftop terrace, and expansive views of D.C. The property is pre-leasing now with planned move-in in mid May.
The Line Hotel at 1700 Euclid St., NW, also aiming to open mid May, is now taking reservations for its 220 guest rooms. The hotel occupies the First Church of Christ Scientist and a newly added seven-story tower. Restaurants will include A Rake's Progress, Brothers and Sisters, and Spoken English, plus a bar and coffee shop, delivered by Chef Spike Gjerde of Baltimore's Woodberry Kitchen and Chef Erik Bruner-Yang of D.C.'s Maketto.
Residences Arriving in 2018
1777 Columbia Rd., NW — Developed by Foxhall Partners, this six-story, 80-unit apartment complex is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2018. It will be located where PayLess Shoe used to be. Studio and one-bedroom apartments will be between 450 and 650 square feet. Retail space will be on street level. Thirty parking spaces are planned. Foxhall also plans on developing the space next door at 1767–1771 Columbia Rd.
2700 16th St., NW — This apartment complex has been in the works for years. Developed by Mill Creek Residential, the Italian Embassy property is expected to start leasing 135 apartments in the second quarter of 2018. A new nine-story structure, along with two levels of below-grade parking, is being added with expected delivery in mid 2019.
New Housing Coming in 2019
1800 Columbia Rd. — Developed by PN Hoffman and Potomac Investment Properties, the six-story, 52-unit condo building will replace SunTrust Bank and plaza. Retail tenants will be on the ground floor.
2300 16th St. at Meridian Hill Park — Developed by Westbrook Partners, this nine-story redevelopment project offers 110 luxury units, non-profit space, and a two-level underground garage with around 90 parking spaces. The project is still in preconstruction phase.
2800 16th St. at Scottish Rite — Developed by EastBanc, this nine-story, 110-unit apartment complex will include two levels of underground parking and is expected to be more than 145,000 square feet.
1724 Kalorama Rd. — This new condo development by Bellevue Park at The Transcentury Building is currently in preconstruction and is expected to deliver 48 units.
Dining and More
In addition to the new restaurants at the Line Hotel, several more dining destinations are on the way. In fact, one new restaurant opened last week. Italian restaurant Rosario began serving on March 20 and occupies the space of former tenants Libertine and The Toledo Lounge at 2435 18th St.
The owners of Cactus Cantina and Lauriol Plaza are delivering Al Fresco Tap & Grille, a large 14,000-square-foot+ dining spot at 2009 18th St. that will feature reasonably priced meals and have a total of 300 seats, with a 70-seat street level garden area and 40-seat terrace level during warmer months. The space, adjacent to Jack Rose Saloon, is currently occupied by an empty service station, parking lot, and clothing donation bins.
Speaking of Jack Rose, owner Bill Thomas has purchased two of the other buildings on the block, including the corner of 18th and Florida, and plans to turn them into another restaurant.
Pitango Gelato and Café is coming to 1841 Columbia Rd. this summer, while Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen is "coming soon" to 1742 Columbia Rd. in the space formerly occupied by Pollo Granjero.

New Assay Results from Newton Gold Discovery - Delineation Drilling Continues
Amarc Resources Ltd.
VANCOUVER, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Amarc Resources Ltd. ("Amarc" or the "Company") (TSXV: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) is pleased to announce assay results from the last three delineation drill holes completed in 2011 at the Newton gold discovery, south-central British Columbia. Assay results from drill holes 11053, 11054 and 11055 continue to confirm an extensive and robust gold system has been discovered at Newton. Delineation drilling has now recommenced at the Newton site with two rigs working. Amarc plans to continue drilling until the deposit is fully delineated.
The long intercepts of bulk tonnage style gold mineralization encountered in holes 11053 through 11055 bring the number of holes drilled with important gold results to 46. These holes are located over an area that currently measures 900 metres by 600 metres and is open to expansion in several directions. The age and geological characteristics of the gold mineralization at Newton demonstrate striking similarities to the mineralization at New Gold's Blackwater deposit located to the north. Amarc (TSXV: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) owns an 80% interest in the Newton property and is the operator of the Newton Joint Venture. Newton Gold Corp. (TSXV: NWG) has a 20% participating interest.
Results from holes 11053, 11054 and 11055 are summarized in the Table of Assay Results below. A drill plan and other information regarding the Newton Project are available on Amarc's website at www.amarcresources.com/ahr/MapsFigures.asp.

Gold equivalent calculations use metal prices of Au US$1200/oz and Ag US$20/oz. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%.
All holes are drilled vertically.
Widths reported are drill widths, such that true thicknesses are unknown. All assay intervals represent length weighted averages.
Amarc Executive Chairman Robert Dickinson said, "We are increasingly confident that ongoing drilling at Newton will confirm this deposit as the next major gold discovery in BC's emerging Blackwater-Newton gold belt."
Amarc drilling is intersecting increased thicknesses of pervasively altered felsic volcanic rocks that host disseminated sulphides and associated gold mineralization. It is the high primary permeability of these favourable host rocks, coupled with evidence for their expanding geographic distribution that presents a permissive environment for the development of a major bulk tonnage-style gold deposit.
The Newton property is located some 100 kilometres west of the City of Williams Lake, BC in a region characterized by gently rolling hills. The district is well served by existing transportation and power infrastructure and a skilled workforce, which support a number of operating mines, as well as late-stage mineral development and exploration projects. Newton is located approximately 175 kilometres south of New Gold's Blackwater gold deposit (Indicated Resources of 164 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.03 g/t gold containing 5.42 million ounces; and Inferred Resources of 69 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.84 g/t gold containing 1.86 million ounces; New Gold news release February 2, 2012).
In addition to the Newton project, Amarc also owns a 100% interest in the 800 square kilometre Galileo property and the 140 square kilometre Hubble property located to the west and east, respectively, of New Gold's Blackwater property. Extensive Induced Polarization geophysical surveys recently conducted by Amarc over these two properties indicate strong potential for six important new sulphide mineralized systems.
Four of the defined target areas have similar dimensions to, or exceed that, of the eight square kilometre sulphide system at Newton. Drill permit applications have been submitted to the provincial government in order to test these promising targets for potential gold and/or copper deposits. Once permits are received, Amarc plans to methodically drill test all of the compelling targets identified at Galileo and Hubble.
The Galileo and Hubble properties lie approximately 135 kilometres southwest of the town of Vanderhoof and 176 kilometres southwest of northern BC's regional hub city of Prince George. The area is characterized by subdued topography, existing transportation and power infrastructure and a skilled workforce which supports an active mineral exploration industry.

I trust all the professionals at PI and always highly recommend the practice!!


Propel Studio spent a couple of weeks in Japan in October to check in on our project in Aridagawa, as well as give presentations about our community work and design process. It was a whirlwind tour of the country, and in only two weeks we visited Tokyo, Kanazawa, Nanto, Wakayama, Kyoto, Aridagawa, Osaka, Okayama, and Naoshima. It was a lot of moving around with the help of the country's incredible train system.
Although this was a work trip, we also were able to visit a lot of architecture, cultural attractions, and some beautiful landscapes. We each documented our trip in different ways to learn from our travels and inspire future designs. Below is a slideshow with images of textures and details of the places we visited along the way.

TIRIN KOT, Afghanistan, April 4 (Xinhua) -- At least two Afghan soldiers were killed and five others wounded after Taliban militants stormed a security forces' camp in restive southern province of Uruzgan overnight, a local official said Wednesday.
Militants numbered hundreds attacked a joint military camp in Khas Uruzgan district Tuesday night, triggering a fierce gunfight which lasted for hours, a provincial government spokesman, Doust Mohammad Nayab, told Xinhua.
The clashes caused two army soldiers killed and five policemen injured, he said.
Several militants were also killed and wounded, but their number could not be exactly specified as the militants evacuated their casualties after the fighting, he added.
Qari Yousf Ahmadi, a purported Taliban spokesman, told local media that the insurgents' fighters attacked four security checkpoints in Uruzgan overnight, killing several security forces.
He claimed that the Taliban also seized amount of weapons and ammunition together with military vehicles besides capturing several soldiers after the fighting.
A provincial official stated that about 20 security force members surrendered to militants as army's air force failed to conduct supportive flight and strike the militants during the bad weather condition.
The province has been the scene of heavy clashes between security forces and Taliban from time to time.

Miss Evison's class performed the story of 'The Rainbow Fish' brillantly in their class assembly to parents this week - well done reception class!

The biggest suggested change: A defensive player cannot move into the path of an offensive player once he has started his upward motion with the ball to attempt a field goal or pass. If a defensive player is not in a legal guarding position by this time, it's a blocking foul.
Currently, rules call for a defender to be in legal guarding position before the offensive player lifts off the floor.
The idea of the tweak is to allow for more offensive freedom and provide officials with more clarity in making this call.
Also, fouls will be expected to be called when a defensive player keeps a hand or forearm on an opponent; puts two hands on an opponent; continually jabs by extending his arms and placing a hand or forearm on the opponent or uses an arm bar to impede progress.
The proposed changes by must be formally approved next month before becoming effective for the 2013-14 season, but that's expected.
These proposed changes were made with the help of the Kansas City-based National Association of Basketball Coaches, and were in response to a trend of overly physically play that has been cited for as a primary reason for reduced scoring.
Last season, scoring per game — 67.5 points per team — was the lowest since 1981-82, before the shot clock was implemented.
But Haney recalled the changes made in the NBA more than a decade ago. Through a series of rules changes and emphases that favored the offense, which started with scrapping the illegal defense rule in 2001, the professional game loosened up and scoring soared.
At one point in the 2005 playoffs, the average combined points of teams were 21 points higher than the 2004 playoffs.
A team that took full advantage was the Phoenix Suns, which finished 2005 with the league's best record. Point guard Steve Nash, with more room to operate — freedom of movement, the NBA called it — won the first of his consecutive MVP awards.
But will the rich get richer in a more offensive-minded college game? The top talent goes to the top programs. Upsets tend to happen when an underdog can keep possessions and scoring low.
Haney believes rules changes won't reduce surprises.
"What makes the college game unique is that you don't have to have the best talent to win," Haney said. "If you want to play a more deliberate style, you can still do that.
In other proposed changes, officials — in the last two minutes of regulation and overtime — can go to the monitor to review a shot-clock violation and to determine who caused the ball to go out of bounds on a deflection involving two or more players.
Also, a 10-second backcourt rule will be added in women's basketball.

Anna Swir (1909-1984) famously said "A poet should be as sensitive as an aching tooth." Swir was one of Poland's most distinguished poets, and she was open in her feminism and eroticism, with poetry that explored the life of the female body--from the agonizing depths of wartime to delirious sensual delight. The New York Times wrote that Swir's poetry pointed toward a "ferocious internal life."
A member of the Resistance during the Nazi occupation and a military nurse in a makeshift hospital during the Warsaw Uprising, Swir once waited an hour fully expecting to be executed. Affected deeply by her experience, she wrote a poetry which rejected the grand gestures of war in favor of a world cast in miniature, a world in which the body and individual survive.
Co-translated by Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan, with an introduction by Milosz, who writes: "What is the central theme of these poems? Answer: Flesh. Flesh in love and ecstasy, in pain, in terror, flesh afraid of loneliness, giving birth, resting, feeling the flow of time or reducing time to one instant. By such a clear delineation of her subject matter, Anna Swir achieves in her sensual, fierce poetry a nearly calligraphic neatness."
