Khan files first quarter 2014 financial results and updates on lawsuit against Mongolia
By B.KHASH-ERDENE
On Friday Khan Resources Inc. filed its financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Khan has launched a 326 million USD international arbitration action against Mongolia for the illegal expropriation of its asset in January 2011. The international arbitration action is currently in process. "Khan is well funded and will continue with this legal action to recover value for its shareholders from this illegal expropriation," said the company.
Reporting on the progress of the hearing, Khan said, "The hearing by the International Arbitration Tribunal on merits and quantum was held and completed between November 11 and November 15, 2013. Arguments were heard by the tribunal from Khan and from the Government of Mongolia on the merits of the case and the damages incurred by Khan due to the illegal expropriation in 2009 of the mining and exploration licenses for the Dornod uranium project in northeastern Mongolia. At the completion of the hearing, the tribunal asked for the submission of two post-hearing briefs before rendering their decision. The first post-hearing brief was submitted on February 5, 2014 and the second will be submitted on April 11, 2014. After receipt of the final brief, it is expected that the Tribunal will then formulate and render their decision. The amount of damages sought by Khan currently exceeds 326 million USD."
Khan Resources Inc., and its predecessor companies, have been involved in the development of the Dornod uranium property in Mongolia since 1995. Khan says it completed a full definitive feasibility study on the property in the spring of 2009, which demonstrated highly positive economics for the project.
However, in January 2009, Mongolia and Russia had announced their intention to form a new Mongolian-Russian joint venture to replace Khan in mining the Dornod property. In July 2009, the Government of Mongolia promulgated its Nuclear Energy law, which among other items, provided the state with 51 percent of the Dornod property without compensation to prior owners.
In 2010, the government did not reissue Khan the required licenses for the Dornod property which effectively resulted in 100 percent expropriation of the asset without any compensation.
Currently, Khan holds 15.5 million common shares of Macusani Yellowcake Inc.
which represents 9.7 percent of the 159.5 million Macusani outstanding common shares. The value of the company's investment in Macusani as of December 31, 2013 was 1,319,000 USD, an increase of 155,000 USD from its value at September 30, 2013.
Khan reported that its Mongolian subsidiaries were closed on September 30, 2013 and all Mongolian tangible assets were retired. On October 17, 2013 and December 4, 2013, the company sold the remaining assets at or associated with the Dornod site. These sales were completed for gross proceeds of 47,000 USD. The windup of these entities is expected to be completed in the second quarter, the company reported.
The following table summarizes financial results of Khan for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

My passion for having students engaged in our professional conversations has been articulated loud and clear (read here, here, and here). We need more of it.
But when it comes to conferences, we are often faced with the question of how to find funding for students to attend with us, and often this barrier leads us to not even both engaging with the idea of adding a student to our paper or presentation.
At the University of Oklahoma, we are fortunate enough to have centralized funds that students can apply to receive in the event they get their proposal accepted. But that pot is limited, and what happens when, say, SIX students get accepted?
The IPRRC has an extremely low acceptance rate and Gaylord is one of the ONLY colleges in the United States that has had undergraduate research accepted and presented at the conference.
We take pride in the fact that we engage our undergrads in research, and thus we want to have them publicly present their findings. Which is how we found ourselves in this predicament.
A couple of years ago, OU launched its own white-labeled crowdfunding platform so that students and faculty can raise money through the broader community. As of date of publish, we've used it to raise $488,144 across 61 projects (roughly $8k per project).
In Gaylord College, we've been previously successful utilizing the platform at a faculty level. Last semester, another colleague, Melanie Wilderman, successfully used the platform to raise $5k for Media Monday, an event that brings 400-700 media students to Gaylord College every semester.
Now, Jensen is utilizing the platform to raise the funds to bring all six students (four of which also happen to be former students of mine) along with her to IPRRC in Orlando.
Would we better off if we just had dedicated travel funds for undergrads? Absolutely. But I'm proud of my colleague and college for being willing to engage students in research regardless and putting in the extra effort to raise external funding. Crowdfunding is hard work, but I know that there are also a number of people that will be willing to support our students and their work.
A huge congrats to our students for their efforts as that's no small feet. I've given a small amount to support the effort. If you feel so compelled, please consider contributing as well.

Coal can't compete with cheap renewable energy
After more than a decade of efforts to dramatically expand the Sunflower Electric Power Corporation's coal-fired power plant in Holcomb, Kansas, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, the principal backer, now considers it unlikely that the project will move forward.
The Holcomb coal plant expansion project received a key air permit in March, following a Kansas Supreme Court decision. As the economic reality facing the coal industry continues to make it less and less likely that new capacity will be added, Holcomb seemed to be a potential outlier; last month it was called "perhaps the most likely prospect for a major new coal plant in the United States."
But without the support of Tri-State, a Colorado-based utility, prospects for the 895-megawatt coal unit are increasingly dim.
In an August 14 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Tri-State reported that it had "assessed the probability of us entering into construction for the Holcomb Expansion as remote." As a result, the utility reported that it had written off more than $93 million it spent trying to build the coal unit.

Sweet Kozhukattai/modakam can be described as warm rice dumplings filled with a mixture of jaggery and coconut. I remember helping my mom whenever she cooked elaborate dishes such as kozhukattais and my mom has always encouraged my mishaps with a tender smile and reassuring words that I just need more practice. There is definitely a skill set required to make the cups for the base of the dumpling but nothing that can't be mastered with practice. Remember, if I can learn to do it, anyone can. There are two ways for making them and one of the methods is for beginner cooks so don't be disheartened if you can't make the cups in the first try.
The outer covering or the base of the dumpling has a very soft texture and the inner filling is quite sweet, so people who like sweet this recipe is designed just for you. My kids like to eat the filling and the filling can be used as filling in different recipes if you like to experiment. I've used the same filling for puff pastries(Recipe) or with jackfruit (Recipe )with a slight change and was amazed to see how versatile the filling can taste with different outer covering.
Grind soaked rice in a blender or wet grinder into smooth paste/batter. In a pan add the ground paste and drizzle oil in the center of the dough. Cook in medium flame, stirring continuously. Initially the dough will start to cook and form lumps but with constant stirring the moisture will evaporate and the dough will start to come together (about 5 to 10 minutes).
Once the dough is well cooked, if you touch the dough it shouldn't be sticky or can be easily made in to balls. Remove from fire and keep it covered. Once cool enough to handle take little portion of the dough and knead well with oil-greased hands or with wet hands to form a soft smooth dough.
Heat a pan or wide vessel, add powdered jaggery, little water and stir until the jaggery dissolves. Filter the syrup with a strainer and return the filtered syrup to the pan. Heat the syrup until it thickens, add coconut, cardamom powder, and stir well.
Continue cooking the mixture until all the moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and let it cool down. Once cool enough to handle, divide the filling in to same number of parts as the dough and make small balls. Keep aside.
If you are beginner, this method is quite easy to make. Take one part of the dough, flatten the dough in to small disc. Place the filling in the center.
Hold the disc in your hand and gather the outer part of the discs together, just like how you make stuffing for parathas or any type of bread. Holding the bottom of the modakam with your fingers, press the top foldings together to form the modakam shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Steam the modakams in a plate or idli plate over high for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm. Enjoy!!!
For making the cups, take a part of the dough. Start pressing the outer part of the dough using your thumb while making indentations inside to form the cup. Keep rotating the dough while pressing your thumb inwards.
Once the cup is formed, place the filling inside the cup. Close the top together forming the tip.
Once the modakam is made, repeat with other parts of the dough and filling. Keep practicing and its quite easy once you get the hang of it. Steam the modakams in high for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm and Enjoy!!!
Soak rice for an hour. Grind soaked rice in a blender or wet grinder into smooth paste/batter. In a pan add the ground paste and drizzle sesame oil in the center of the dough. Heat the pan and cook in medium flame, stirring continuously. Initially the dough will start to cook and form lumps but with constant stirring the moisture will evaporate and the dough will start to come together (about 5 to 10 minutes).
Once the dough is well cooked, if you touch the dough, it shouldn't be sticky or can be easily made into balls without sticking to your hands. Remove from fire and keep it covered.
Once cool enough to handle take little portion of the dough and knead well with oil-greased hands or with wet hands to form a soft smooth dough. Divide the dough into equal parts and make small balls. Keep aside (cover with damp cloth or tight lid to prevent drying)Note: While you are working on one part of the dough, keep the remaining part always covered. The rice dough tends to dry quickly and will crack. If you accidentally dried a part of the dough, sprinkle water and knead well.
Continue cooking the mixture until all the moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and let it cool down. Once cool enough to handle, divide the filling into same number of parts as the dough and make small balls. Keep aside.
If you are beginner, this method is quite easy to make. Take one part of the dough, flatten the dough into small disc. Place the filling in the center. Refer to the pictorial before making them.
Another method for making the cups--- Take a part of the dough and start pressing the outer part of the dough using your thumb while making indentations inside to form the cup. Keep rotating the dough while pressing your thumb inwards. Refer to the pictorial.
Once the cup is formed, place the filling inside the cup. Close the top together forming the tip. Once the modakam is made, repeat with other parts of the dough and filling. Keep practicing and its quite easy once you get the hang of it.
Steam the modakam in high for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm and Enjoy!!!
This recipe was in my draft for long as I missed posting it on Ganesh Chaturthi and when I was given coconut as secret ingredient by my partner Priya Mahadevan for this week's hush-hush week I wanted to post this recipe for the Avant Garde Cookies Group. Check out Anusha, Radhika,Kavi, Priya, Priya Mahadevan, Roshni and Veena the other cookies in my voyage.
They looks damn cute, feel like grabbing some..Droolworthy kozhukattais.

Die 1. jugoslawische Fußballliga 1985/86 war die 57. Spielzeit der höchsten jugoslawischen Spielklasse im Fußball der Männer. Sie begann am 11. August 1985 und endete am 29. Juni 1986.

Der jugoslawische Verband ordnete sechs Tage nach dem letzten Spieltag an, diesen zu wiederholen, weil behauptet wurde, einige Ergebnisse seien abgesprochen worden. Partizan Belgrad weigerte sich das mit 4:0 gegen Željezničar Sarajevo gewonnene Spiel zu wiederholen. Daraufhin wurde es mit 3:0 für Željezničar gewertet. Da Roter Stern Belgrad sein Wiederholungsspiel nur mit 1:2 verlor, wurden sie aufgrund der besseren Tordifferenz Meister vor Partizan und starteten im Pokal der Landesmeister. Außerdem wurden die zehn beteiligten Vereine mit einem Abzug von 6 Punkten für die folgende Saison bestraft.

Nach vielen Gerichtsurteilen wurde der gesamte Vorgang schließlich am 29. Juli 1987 zurückgenommen, und die ursprüngliche Abschlusstabelle mit Partizan Belgrad als Meister offiziell anerkannt.

Modus
18 Mannschaften spielten an insgesamt 34 Spieltagen aufgeteilt in einer Hin- und einer Rückrunde jeweils zwei Mal gegeneinander. Die letzten zwei Klubs stiegen ab.

ACGME Specialty Requirements pdf
The Public Health and Preventive Medicine (PHPM) Residency is delighted that you are interested in the program. As a practitioner in public health and preventive medicine at the population level for more than three decades at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I joined the leadership of the residency program because of the focus on health equity and achievement of optimal health for all individuals, families, and communities.
We look forward to providing you with the necessary educational and practical opportunities to address health problems of the 21st century in diverse, underserved populations through health equity. A critical part of the training is the application of the knowledge obtained from the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree through comprehensive practical experiences.
Key examples of these applied or practical experiences are:
Addressing community health needs among underserved populations during a 2-year longitudinal experience.
Providing and evaluating population health programs as a team member in public health agencies at the county, district, state, and federal levels of government.
Addressing environmental hazards and providing clinical care for common occupational health problems.
Providing clinical preventive medicine and lifestyle medicine in clinical settings that promote optimal health among children, adults and seniors.

"While practicing for six years as a general pediatrician in a small rural town in Mississippi, I encountered many clinical scenarios that piqued my interest in public health. I was most disturbed by the increasing number of overweight and obese children that I saw in my clinic. . . I was specifically interested in the Public Health and Preventive Medicine Residency Program at MSM because of its focus on engaging underserved communities to promote health equity. . .The most rewarding aspect of this program was the diversity of the training experiences that I received. . .Thanks to the guidance and support that I received from the faculty and staff in this program, I can honestly say that I am where I want to be in my career transition."
Longitudinal Social/Cultural/Behavioral Aspects of Medicine Rotation
One of the primary training objectives is to train residents to collaborate with community-based organizations to achieve positive health outcomes through the completion of a health needs and assets assessment and an intervention. The Community Health Preventive Medicine Residency Program is structured to allow residents to complete a longitudinal, community-based, service-learning project with a faith-based organization during the two-year residency training program.
To provide the best training for our residents, we are affiliated with some of the most prestigious hospitals in and around the Atlanta area.

Call for the Animal Jooper!
Saturday morning. I am lying on the sofa, where I have told my wife I will be reading the International section of the Guardian in order to keep abreast of important current events (you know, just in case the UN call to get my perspective on GM crops or something), but where I am in fact furtively playing 'Retro Defence' on my new phone, behind the paper that so she can't see me, should she happen to wander past the open doorway.
This deception is necessary because she has outright accused me of being 'more in love' with my new phone than I am with her, which I would like to state for the record is complete nonsense (though I would also like it to be noted that it is both responsive to the touch and can be turned on with minimal effort on my part, so I wonder if there are a few things that she could..no, on mature reflection we won't go there...)
Anyway, I am just approaching Level 26 on the tricky 'Spider' level when a soft toy bear flies into the room at head height, travelling at great velocity. It lands in the centre of the room. My Eldest appears shortly afterwards, whereupon she runs over to the bear, stamps on it's head a few times, and then kicks it into the side of the sofa. Only then does she notice me.
"Hello, Daddy" she says brightly.
"What on Earth are you doing?" I ask.
"Animal Jooper" she says, as if this explains everything.
It does not, to my mind, explain anything.
"What?" I ask.
"We are playing 'Animal Jooper'," she says patiently, and then, in a much louder voice "Animal Jooper! Animal Jooper! There is an animal in danger!"
My youngest then enters the room. I can't help but notice she has taken her trousers off, and is wearing them on her head like an outsized pair of bunny ears. I look at her in mild shock.
"I am the Animal Jooper!" she announces.
"Thank goodness you are here, Animal Jooper!" says her sister. She points at the forlorn and violated teddy on the floor. "This bear is in danger. It has been kicked and stamped on!"
"I will rescue it!" says the little one, nodding frantically so that her trouser ears flap up and down. She stoops and picks it up, then cuddles it.
"All better now!" she says after a moment.
"Good work, Animal Jooper!" says her sister.
In my hands, my forgotten phone makes a sad little noise as my suddenly unattended bases are overrun by red aliens. I finally remember how to speak.
"What are you doing?" I demand, my complete incomprehension giving my voice extra volume.
My Eldest sighs, as if the whole situation should be self-evident.
"She is the Animal Jooper..." she says, pointing at her sister, who nods solemnly, "and she rescues animals in trouble."
"I save them..." adds Youngest. (I notice at this point that the Animal Jooper appears to have coloured a large part of her face in with felt-tipped pen, which I presume has been deemed an essential requirement for animal rescue).
"I see..." I say, not really seeing.
I turn back to Eldest. "And what do you do?"
"I put animals in danger" she says, cheerfully.
"You...put...what?" I ask.
"I put animals in danger" she repeats. "So that the Animal Jooper can rescue them."
"She hits teddy bears " clarifies her sister, pushing the waistband of her trousers out of her eyes.
There is a pause, while I try and think what to say. Nothing obvious comes to mind, even after the longest time.
"Oh..." I manage to finally say.
"Today I have also put a mouse in a box up a mountain," continues Eldest, "and pushed a camel into a river."
"Oh..." I say, again.
They continue to look at me expectantly.
"Carry on, then ..." I finally say. They scamper off.
I look down at the paper. It it clear from the headlines that the world is slowly going to Hell in a hand basket. I reflect on the comforting words of that great sage of our times, Whitney Houston: I believe the children are our future, lead them well and let them show the way.
Frankly, Whitney, I am now not so sure about that. On the evidence from my house, results will be mixed, to say the least.
There is soft thump from the hall, as a toy hippo is dropped from the landing and suffers a bruising fall. The Animal Jooper clearly has a long day ahead of her...
Kids come up with the most bizarre games don't they!! I love the fact that your youngest had her trousers on her head...the image really made me giggle!!

ha! Very funny!

Missouri Wrestling Revival is very excited to have the one and only "Road Dogg" BG James as a part of the MWR Trading Card series. The son of 2011 WWE Hall of Fame inductee "Bullet" Bob Armstrong and brothers to fellow wrestlers Brad, Scott and Steve, James will go down in history as one of the most entertaining wrestlers to ever set foot in the ring.
James was instrumental in bringing back WWE from the dire straights in the late 80's in a war with rival WCW. With fellow stars "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the Rock and Mick Foley and James's faction of Degeneration X wrestling was cool once again. .
Degeneration X members included Shawn Michaels, Triple –H, X-Pac, Chyna, Rick Rude and James tag team partner Billy Gunn.
Together James and Gunn was the New Age Outlaws!!
The two would go on to win 5 WWE Tag Team Championships Four of their victories came over teams that included Mick Foley with four different partners (Kane, Terry Funk, the Rock, and Al Snow). They hold the fourth longest reign in WWE Tag Team history with 468 days.
James is also a former WWE Intercontiental and Hardore Champion before he went on to compete at TNA Wrestling to win 2 NWA Tag Team Championships with Ron Killings and Konann.
Though he would be able to hold onto gold several times, it is his charisma that is matched by very few that has made him a World wide star.
We are proud to announce that BG James is number #47 in the MWR Trading Card set.
The artwork of B.G James from the hottest comic in the Midwest, The Promotion. The promotion is drawn from none other than Rob Schamberger.
Pro Wrestling is a tough sport to keep control of. That is why the job of a referee is called upon only from the best.
Michael Crase JR knows the pressure of wearing the black and white in big matches. He has been in main event matches with stars such as Trevor Murdock, Dingo, Derek Stone, Al Snow, Jeremy Wyatt and many more.
Hard working and reliable Michael has been active recently at NWA Dynamo and Metro Pro Wrestling.
We are proud to have a man as dedicated and hardworking as Michael Crase for number 33 in the MWR Trading card series.
Jeremy Wyatt and Tyler Cook Presented 2009 MWR Match of the Year Plaques.
Last month on June 4th in Des Moines Iowa, we were on hand to present the 3XW Champion Jeremy Wyatt and Tyler Cook the 2009 MWR Match of the Year plaque for their match last July 17th for the 3XW Pure Championship title . Tyler Cook would have his hand raised on that evening in a match that is still talked about today.
Since that time Jeremy Wyatt made that loss the pivotal point of his career when he bounced back to defeat "Delicious" Devin Carter for the 3XW Heavyweight title. Wyatt recently broke the record for the longest 3XW Champion and has had thrilling matches with Al Snow. Maddog McDowell, Tyler Black and an incredible series with fan Favorite Rory Fox.
Tyler Cook on the other hand has floundered and looking to regroup after losing the very next month against the unstoppable Kraig Kessaman who as of press time has not been pinned at 3XW since August of 2008…Yes I said August of 2008! We are huge fans of Tyler Cook here at MWR and feel that it wont be long till he is back in the title hunt again soon.
Midnight Guthrie and Brian Kelley talks about the MWR Award during intermission.
While we were there we got to see a rematch of Wyatt vs. Cook only this time Wyatt was the 3XW Champion. Wyatt would prove once again that he is among the top in the sport today by submitting him to a crossface.
A old foe in Rory Fox would come Rory Fox came out and officially announced he would be using his Gauntlet for the Gold title shot against Wyatt at the 3XW 5 Year Anniversary Event this Friday Wyatt said "fine, but I choose the stipulation. It's going to be a ladder match!!!
Can Fox finally get the win for this coveted title or will Wyatt continue to be the one man that has his number?
Before we take the time to watch the 3XWrestling commercial I would like to thank 3XW, Jeremy Wyatt and Tyler Cook for their time last month during that important evening as we honored Wyatt and Cook with the 2009 MWR Match of the Year.
Jeremy Wyatt -Tyler Cook 2 June 4th in Des Moines Iowa.
Last year Jeremy Wyatt and Tyler Cook tore the house down on July 17th in a Ladder match for the 3XW Pure Wrestling Championship. In a back and forth war for the ages, Tyler Cook would survive by getting to the top of the ladder first.
The match would earn them the 2009 MWR Match of the Year as well as more fans for the sport.
Just a month later Wyatt would win his very first 3XW Championship by defeating three time 3XW Champ Devin Carter while the same night the red hot Kraig Kessaman would derail Cook and take his 3XW Pure Championship.
Wyatt has turned away formidable opponents Rory Fox, Al Snow, Tyler Black, Maddog McDowell and most recently Jimmy Rockwell but has the man who took the 3XW Pure title from Wyatt going to walk away as the new 3XW Champion?
This Friday is the rematch.
This is a match that you will NOT want to miss.
Jeremy Wyatt vs Tyler Cook for the 3XW Championship.
Worth the price of admission alone!
Pro Wrestling Entertainment Champion "Bloody" Harker Dirge will defend his title against "The Human Massacre" Keith Walker in Springfield Illinois on November 6th at the Capital City Bar and Grill.
Dirge has defeated Al Snow, Kahagas, Brandon Aarons and most recently wrestling legend Cowboy Bob Orton. Can he handle the sheer power of a man who is feared around the world?
This could be brutal as PWE has sanctioned this card for 21 and over only!!!!

It's not often that comedians get known for their dramatic work. The ones that do, are either trying to prove themselves as more than just a funny face, or they are really showing how good they truly are. Though it is possible for actors and actresses to make this jump, or at least attempt at it, but it's almost unheard of for directors to do it.
Adam McKay, for those who have never heard of him, is the writer/director of Anchorman 1 and 2, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys, which are also all Will Farrell comedies. Then for some reason, most probably because the story really struck a deep chord inside him, he decided to write and direct the true story of wall street corruption around the 2008 financial crisis. Though as expected with his comedy pedigree, the film was made with a comedic angle, boarding on satire.
Surprisingly, or maybe not so much, the film ended up getting 5 Academy Award Nominations, including Best Film, Director, and Writer, which after having seen it, are all fully deserved. Though all that aside, this is a damn important film, as it once again highlights the absurd behaviour and system that makes up the financial world. It'll make you laugh, and it'll make you cry, and sometimes you'll feel those feelings not because they are fun or sad, but because of the reality this film is trying to put across. So crazy it's funny, and so crazy it's sad.
Great post on a great film! I was surprised by Adam Mckay myself. He did a great job.


The job of an in-home caregiver comes with a massive amount of responsibility that often goes underappreciated. Whether caregivers are hired to care for children, the elderly, or pets, they are the acting guardians for the home for extended periods of time.
People hiring caregivers have obligations of their own, and one of the most important is the need to understand how to choose safe and qualified candidates that will care for their loved ones.
One reason that there has been an increase in in-home caregivers is because America has an aging population. Let's face it, the baby boomers are getting older. As the proportion of elderly increases, there will be a need for professionals who can make home visits or even stay with these individuals in order to provide assistance.
The assistance provided by caregivers can range from helping them to complete daily living tasks to administering medications. If the caregiver is expected to provide healthcare, it is essential to do research and ensure that the hired individual is truly qualified to perform these tasks.
Caregivers play a very intimate role in the lives of their employers. They are granted access to private residences, they interact closely with others and they might be permitted to handle medications. Families cannot afford to give these responsibilities to people who cannot be trusted. This is why background checks are so essential.
Background checks can provide important and telling information about a potential caregiver. A background check can uncover if the person has been convicted of drug or alcohol-related offenses, violent crimes, theft, or any other charges that would affect hiring decisions. These records make it possible to quickly learn about the character of a person.
A background check for a caregiver should look into more than just whether or not the individual has criminal or traffic violations. Especially if the candidate will be responsible for providing healthcare, it is also important to take this time to verify any training or credentials that have been provided. Ensure that this person is qualified to perform the tasks that are needed, while also confirming that they were truthful when applying for the position.
It is very common today for a family to hire a caregiver through an agency, or even a website, trusting that the professionals have already been vetted thoroughly. While an agency is likely not going to knowingly recommend an unfit caregiver, important information could have easily slipped by them. It is not always easy to perform a background check that will catch everything because there is not one easy to access database that is going to provide everything. Some agencies might miss information simply because they did not know where to look.
Caregiver websites can be even more problematic because they process large volumes of potential candidates, posting thousands of profiles from which customers can choose. Last year, NBC Chicago's Unit 5 Investigative Team conducted an experiment when using these sites that had very troubling results.
The investigators had applicants with criminal backgrounds create profiles on two popular caregiver sites. These sites allowed users to pay for background checks to be conducted, which NBC Chicago did for each of the planted applicants. Most of the applicants passed one or both of the sites' background checks, even one applicant who had previously been charged with felony assault and convicted of reckless conduct.
The best way to avoid these risks when hiring caregivers is to hire a private investigator to conduct a background check. Choose an investigator who specializes in these types of services and who will provide a full report of the steps that were taken to protect you, your family and your home.


Pam Nogueira Maneman, a graduate of UW Tacoma ('12) and the UW School of Law ('15), is running for prosecutor in Pacific County, WA. In the midst of her busy schedule working in a private law firm and serving on Grays Harbor County Drug Court, Pacific County Drug Court, and as a City Council member for the City of Raymond – in addition to running her campaign! – Pam was generous enough to answer some questions for us about her passion for law, her career ambitions, and her UW roots.
When asked why she would make a good prosecutor for Pacific County, Pam says, "I am young and energetic. I am full of passion and ready to work…. I want to replace current practices to achieve successful, long-term solutions. I do not only want to reduce crime now; I want to reduce recidivism. I do not want to save pennies; I want to save thousands." If elected, she hopes to reorganize the Prosecutor's Office and provide better management of staffing and workloads; improve communication among departments to accelerate the pace of hearings and reduce taxpayer costs; enhance the role of therapeutic courts and diversion or rehabilitation in sentencing; encourage harsher sentences for certain felonies; and hire a medical professional to serve as coroner (a position currently staffed by attorneys).

U.S. Senate Committee Declines to Change DOJ Medical Marijuana Policy
When is the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program Ending? IRS Announces September 28, 2018 as Last Day for Foreign Compliance Under OVDP.
What's the Situation With "The Situation" of Jersey Shore?
Michael Sorrentino
A blast from the past just came across the headlines recently surrounding a member of the hit show of 2009, Jersey Shore. I had previously covered the indictment of Jersey Shore star Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino in a previous blog post found here. Recent developments have Mr. Sorrentino along with his brother Marc, the lesser known Sorrentino, pleading guilty to committing tax evasion and tax fraud respectively. By Michael Sorrentino's admission, he earned taxable income in 2011. He attempted to avoid paying taxes on this income by concealing a portion of his income and by making multiple cash deposits of less than $10,000. Marc, according to documents filed in court, earned taxable income in 2010 and willfully provided his accountants with false information in order to underreport income. The sibling duo now faces sentencing on April 25 and both face 3 to 5 years of prison time for tax evasion and fraudulent tax return preparation. These proceedings are no coincidence as they come at the end of the tax cycle.
The relevant text of the press release is below and can be found on the DOJ website here:
Michael Sorrentino admitted that in tax year 2011, he earned taxable income, including some that was paid in cash, and that he concealed a portion of his income to evade paying the full amount of taxes he owed. He also made cash deposits into bank accounts in amounts less than $10,000, in an effort to ensure that these deposits would not come to the attention of the IRS.
Marc Sorrentino admitted that for tax year 2010, he earned taxable income and that he assisted his accountants in preparing his personal tax return by willfully providing them with false information and fraudulently underreporting his income.
U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton scheduled sentencing for April 25. Michael Sorrentino faces a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison for tax evasion. Marc Sorrentino faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison for aiding in the preparation of a fraudulent tax return. Both also face a period of supervised release, restitution and monetary penalties. Gregg Mark, the accountant for the Sorrentino brothers, previously pleaded guilty in 2015 to conspiring to defraud the United States with respect to their tax liabilities.

Guadalupe Yancuictlalpan (usually referred to as simply Gualupita) is a small community, which is part of the municipality of Tianguistenco, Mexico State. The name Yancuictlalpan is most likely derived from the Nahuatl word yancuic, which means "new" and the word tlal.li which means "land".

Located 60 kilometers from Mexico City, and 30 from Toluca.  The community is famous for the wool knit and woven items that are made by the local artisans. Each weekend takes place a market of textile handicrafts in the main street.

History
The construction of the main temple began in 1679 and ended in 1789, as it is indicated by an inscription in the South Tower of the temple.

Demographics
In 1990 it has a population of 2812 inhabitants and 6385 in 2000, which represents the 10.9% of the total population of the municipality.

Government
Gualupita belongs to the municipality of Tianguistenco, and therefore belongs to the Eleventh District Court  whose seat is Tenango de Arista; the sixth State electoral district with headquarters in Santiago Tianguistenco and 35th federal electoral district in the city of Tenancingo. Local community is governed by its delegates.

Economy
Most economic activity is produced by artisanal and industrial textiles trade. Agriculture and livestock are little practised activities.
On Saturday the community organizes a "tianguis" where fresh fruits and vegetables are sold. On Sunday, the local people sells artisanal and industrial clothes.

Handicrafts
Woven items are made on colonial style wood looms many of which have been in families for generations. Textile arts here date back at least to 1472 using fibers from the maguey plant. After the Spanish arrival, these fibers were mixed with wool.
The local people produces zarapes, mañanitas, sweaters, etc.

Public notice advertising changes: Free pubs get win, tax sale listings updated
sgoldsby
Two public notice advertising bills occupied HSPA's attention during the 2016 General Assembly session – H.B. 1017 and S.B. 355.
Public notice advertising in free publications
H.B. 1017 will make certain mailed free-circulation publications eligible to carry public notice advertising.
Rep. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel, authored it to benefit the free Current publication, headquartered in Carmel.
HSPA was unsuccessful in an attempt to amend Torr's bill to limit the eligibility to the location of the free publication office.
Sen. Jim Smith, R-Charlestown, as acting chair of the Senate Local Government Committee, offered the amendment on behalf of Sen. Randy Head, R-Logansport, during H.B. 1017's hearing.
Head was absent – presenting a bill in another committee hearing. Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, was the bill's sponsor in the Senate.
The amendment failed with a 4-4 vote.
Voting for the amendment were Smith and Sens. Doug Eckerty, R-Yorktown; Jim Buck, R-Kokomo; and Jean Breaux, D-Indianapolis.
Voting against it were Sens. Erin Houchin, R-Salem; Chip Perfect, R-Lawrenceburg; John Broden, D-South Bend; and Greg Taylor, D-Indianapolis.
After H.B. 1017 emerged from the Senate committee, it was passed by the Senate 46-4. Torr filed a concurrence on the Senate bill. The House approved it 88-6.
Based on information publishers provided to HSPA, The Current and The Bristol Bugle will become eligible to carry public notices in Hamilton and Elkhart counties, respectively, July 1, 2016.
Any new free and mailed publications wanting to run public notices would have to be in operation for three years before becoming eligible.
Without the amendment, the Current and Bugle can approach local government units that don't include a town or city with a paid-circulation newspaper within their boundary to carry public notice advertisements.
They are not eligible to carry county public notice advertisements.
Torr crafted the legislation so that county and local governments would have no reason to oppose the bill. It doesn't change their costs to publish public notices, said Steve Key, HSPA executive director and general counsel.
"Local government representatives talk a good game on transparency as long as it doesn't cost them $1 more than they are required to spend on public notice advertising," Key said.
Publication of properties for sale
S.B. 355 concerns the publication of properties eligible for a commissioners' sale of tax certificates.
It was authored by Sen. Rick Niemeyer, R-Lowell, and sponsored by Rep. Hal Slager, R-Schererville. Both live in Lake County.
HSPA worked with the two legislators last session on a similar Lake County issue – the treasurer's notice of tax sale and its accompanying list of eligible properties for sale.
Due to some economic and bureaucratic factors in Lake County, Key said the treasurer's tax sale list had grown to a crazy length – taking up more than 100 pages in The Times (Munster) and Post-Tribune (Crown Point).
The problem is that more than 10,000 properties are unsaleable – the tax liability being greater than the value of the property. The publication was costing Lake County several hundred thousand dollars a year.
Niemeyer and Slager worked last year with HSPA to pass legislation allowing the county auditor an option to eliminate from publication properties that previously had been published in an earlier tax sale.
What wasn't addressed last year was the commissioners' sale.
Properties not sold at tax sale are eligible for sale by the county commissioners. At that point, purchasers don't have to cover the tax liability, only the minimum price set by the county – $500 in Lake County.
Unfortunately, thousands of properties aren't sold even at that minimum price.
If not purchased in the commissioners' sale, an additional year's worth of taxes is added to the property's liability and it goes back on the list for the next treasurer's tax sale.
HSPA and the two Lake County legislators didn't take this into account last year, so Niemeyer filed S.B. 355 this session.
HSPA and Niemeyer butted heads though because Niemeyer didn't want to require any property list publication for the county sale, mistakenly believing the sale price to be identical in both sales and feeling the second publication was unnecessary.
The bill moved through the Senate and to the House, where it was assigned to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Rep. Mike Karickhoff, R-Kokomo, agreed to file an amendment requiring one publication of a property when it first appeared eligible for the commissioners' sale and support was building within the committee.
Reps. Steve Davisson, R-Salem; Ed Clere, R-New Albany; Cherrish Pryor, D-Indianapolis; Greg Porter, D-Indianapolis; and Steve Stemler, D-Jeffersonville; were supportive of HSPA's effort.
Niemeyer and Slager agreed to make the HSPA-requested change. The bill then sailed through the House 95-0 and a Senate concurrence 48-1.
Auditors now have the option with either sale to remove from the publication list repeat properties as long as they note that a complete list can be obtained from the county.
HSPA has not heard of any other counties interested in this option.

SWBAT determine causes of rising sea levels around the world and the effects on coastal communities.
Students read a Scholastic News article, "Deep Trouble," to examine the causes and effects of rising sea levels around the world.
In this lesson, scholars examine the causes and effects of rising sea levels around the world by reading an informational text, completing a cause-effect graphic organizer, and writing a summary using the interactive voice recorder program Voki.
Global warming is having devastating effects on Earth's climate and landscape. In this lesson, I want scholars to understand there is something we can do to prevent that devastation. We begin by watching a Brainpop video on "Global Warming" and taking a short quiz to check our understanding. (Teacher will review quiz whole group. Scholars will show answers in sign language - a, b, c, or d or write answers on a personal dry erase board.) (Click here to watch Brianpop video.) The video is considered the first text on the topic. We review definitions of main idea and supporting details and identify the main idea and supporting details in the video.
Afterwards, we read and discuss a Scholastic News article titled, "Deep Trouble." (Click here to view article.) During our discussion, we examine the causes and effects of rising sea levels and what this means for coastal communities, integrating information from the video and article. I inform students that a cause is "why" something happens and an effect is "what" happens. As we discuss causes and effects in the two texts, we complete a cause and effect graphic organizer, which we will later use in creating Voki summaries.
Next, scholars synthesize all of the information they have learned about global warming, main ideas, supporting details, cause-and-effect, and summarizing to create a written summary in the interactive voice recorder Voki. I reviewed our formula for creating a written summary and told students for the 3 supporting details, we will use cause and effect statements. To begin, I allow students to Think-Pair-Share as they wrote the first sentence of the written summary which is the topic sentence that states the main idea. We, then, shared these whole group. Next, I asked students to choose one of the causes and effects on the graphic organizer to develop their second sentence, which is supporting detail #1. We shared these whole group, as well. Afterwards, I allow scholars to continue to work with their partners to finish writing the summaries. As they finish and I approve their summaries, I allow them to go to the computers to type their summaries in www.voki.com. (Teacher will need to create a Voki account ahead of time to be used to save student work.) Early finishers or scholars who have written summaries and await access to a computer will complete word ladders for new vocabulary words from the article, "Deep Trouble."
To close the lesson, we came back together whole group and watched the completed Voki summaries. Students, then, completed a 3-2-1 exit slip in order to "show what they know" individually. On the exit slip, they told 3 things they, personally, can do to stop or prevent global warming, told 2 effects of global warming, and 1 cause of global warming. This exit slip is an excellent quick check for understanding to tell me if students understand the main idea, supporting details, summary, causes and effects, and what they can do to help stop or prevent global warming. The exit slip will also guide my future instruction.

Cry, the Beloved Elephants
September 17, 2013 by White House Chronicle 4 Comments
The elephants of Africa have have a fix on family values. They look out for their calves and each other. When an elephant dies, often from a bullet, the herd tries to raise the fallen animal; to lift it back on its feet; to make it whole again. They do not appear to understand death, these the largest and most glorious of land mammals.
They walk their young much as human families do, often the adults sheltering the young'uns between them. Soon there may be no African elephants left in the wild.
The great, kindly beasts are facing a holocaust. They are being slaughtered on an industrial scale by poachers for their ivory, which is fetching record prices in Asia. A similar extermination of the rhinoceros is taking place, but it is to the elephant that I feel an affiliation, an affiliation tinged with guilt.
My mother and one of her brothers hunted elephants in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, the 1920s. She was proud, and as time passed, a little ashamed of her hunting days. It may even have been that she liked to be thought of as a retired big game hunter and had never actually pulled the trigger. As elephant became more endangered, she clammed up.
My own sin is that in Kenya, at the Nairobi airport, I once bought a small ivory pendant for someone. It had a government certificate of guarantee that it was made of "old ivory" that had been taken – I find it hard to say harvested — when it was legal. I wanted to believe that and I did at the time, but I doubt it now. I wish, to my soul, that I had not bought it.
That piece of ivory, my mother and life in Zimbabwe all came back to me with pain when I learned of the latest, greatest, most ghastly slaughter of elephants – and, in the course of it, many other innocent creatures and maybe people, too – the poisoning with cyanide of the watering holes of 41 elephants. Cyanide is widely available in Zimbabwe, where it is used in gold mining.
It happened in the Hwange National Park southwestern Zimbabwe. There are photographs of the carcasses on the Web. They died horribly and, because of their size, probably slowly.
The thought of those magnificent animals, bellowing in pain, trying to save each other and writhing as the poison did its atrocious work has been with me for days. I cannot shake the horror of the holocaust in the bush.
There is a horror aplenty to go around, from Syria on down. But the gross indecency of the slaughter of the Zimbabwe elephants and the way it was done; cow and calf and bull alike going down in agony for money.
There is blame to go around for the elephants' poisoning outside of the lawlessness of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe. There is the unfettered trade for rhino horn — Didn't Viagra take care of that? I had hoped so. — and for the ivory used in jewelry and fine furniture. I have seen, in my youth, elephant tusks mounted just for show. And their feet, after treatment, used as indoor planters. Deadly decorations.
There is an international regime to intercept and prevent the looting of Africa but, like many international agreements, it is underfunded. It has also fallen prey to, of all things, sequestration on Capitol Hill.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service mans the front lines in persuading other governments not to allow trade in ivory, rhino horn and other products from endangered species. Most importantly though, this small but critical corps fights the use of the United States as a transhipment point. Yet, according Daniel Ashe, writing in Scientific American, there are only 216 agents covering the global movement of animal contraband and there are 63 vacancies that cannot be filled because of budget sequestration.
I wonder if any members of Congress can hear, in the far recesses,of their minds, the ghostly trumpeting of 41 beautiful giants as they go down to cyanide poisoning? I can, and I always will. — For the Hearst-New York Times Syndicate

Shakespeare Said It: 'All That Glitters Is Not Gold'
January 9, 2012 by White House Chronicle Leave a Comment
"There's gold in them thar hills," goes the old saying. There's also human blood and nerve damage in that gold. And there's dying animals and destroyed rivers.
The greatest gold rush in all of human history is on. It's not a pretty, a romantic or a benign business. Indeed, it's a catastrophe for the environment and for human and animal health.
The high price of gold – it has tripled since 2000 – is such that every gold-bearing plot of land and river is being ravaged in more than 70 countries. As many as 50 million of the world's poorest people now depend on this kind of plunder for a living.
It's the mining equivalent of subsistence farming, but it's lethal in the cruelest ways. Mercury is used to identify the gold (2 grams of mercury for 1 gram of gold) to which it adheres. With each use, some of the mercury is washed away and vapor escapes into the air. In another variant of this practice, cyanide is used to leach gold out of ore in vats or ponds. Either way, two deadly substances are released without control into the environment.
The problem isn't with the deep mines of Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United States – the hard-rock mines. It's with two other categories of mining that use mercury or cyanide: alluvial and artisan.
Alluvial is working a river with pans and sluice tables, which are primitive devices that trap gold granules in a blanket or grease. Artisan – a term used by the United Nations and environmental groups — uses bigger machines and expensive "shaker tables," which process earth by the ton rather than the bucket. These can be found in surface gold deposits in rivers and farther away. This is a mechanized version of finding gold that is not deep in the ground.
While artisan mining may conjure images of dedicated craftsmen coaxing gold out of rock with love and skill, don't be deceived. The activity is savage and brutal; the plundered rock and soil is left to wash away, causing death and destruction over many years.
The Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, and its cohorts at the U.N. Development Program and the World Bank, consider cyanide to be the lesser of the two threats. Maybe. But I've seen great piles of mining spoil which the cyanide has rendered lifeless. Nothing lives in it or grows on it.
Certainly, mercury is the largest of the real-and-present danger of subsistence mining. In Indonesia, men stand in rivers with their hands in buckets of water, muck and mercury, according to one Associated Press report. The BBC also has reported promiscuous use of mercury in Indonesia and Peru.
From China to Romania, in much of Latin America and throughout Africa, there is extensive mining on the surface — and that means mercury use. Miners in these countries are well aware of the dangers — miners often are. But the economics of their lives dictate that they mine until it kills them, or the food chain collapses and their families are poisoned, or the operation has to move to a pristine area to be repeated.
The economic life that sustains also destroys.
The United States and the European Union have restricted the export of mercury. But that's only increased the price, while there appears to be plenty in international trade – enough for the nomadic miners of those 70 or so countries.
I have to declare a personal interest in alluvial gold mining at its simplest: panning and sluicing. My father, whenever his many little business endeavors failed, headed for the beautiful Angwa River in Zimbabwe, both before and after World War II, to look for gold. He mined it with picks, shovels, pans and sluices. The activity was so minor it left no lasting mark. In those days gold fetched $35 an ounce, hardly enough to sustain him and his family, but better than nothing. Now it's about $1,600 an ounce.
My father loved that river. He often spoke about its beauty and tranquility. I've been reviewing photographs of it today: a ravaged moonscape of pits and waste piles. Crime is unchecked, murder is common.

We are Annette's Angels – a cohort of passionate community leaders dedicated towards helping Canadians living with food insecurity in Wood Buffalo. We are part of Leadership Wood Buffalo at FuseSocial and our amazing leader Alexandra Tarasenco has given us the opportunity to engage in some friendly competition to see which half of our cohort can obtain the most food for the Wood Buffalo Food Bank.
What is the need? / Why are we doing it?
FACT#1 As the price of oil drops while the price of food soars and jobs are cut, a rising number of Fort McMurray residents struggle to make ends meet.
FACT#2 Wood Buffalo Food Bank usage has increased 72% in 2015 alone.
FACT#3 Families of MORE THAN 3,100 CHILDREN in Wood Buffalo currently rely on the Food Bank.
We are challenging the community to donate a ton of food (or equivalent cash donations) by 8 am on March 3rd. Friends, alumni and community members can help us win by helping our Wood Buffalo community which has a huge need. Let's continue our legacy of generosity and community spirit! Please come out and help us gather a ton of food!
Where: Stone Creek Save On Foods - We will be the angels at the door (Yes, costumes and all)!
Friday February 19th from 3pm until 7pm.
Saturday February 20th from 9am until 4pm.
If you're feeling extra creative, spend the day in an angel costume!!
We are asking the community to support our Food Drive at existing or new community events taking place over the next 2 weeks. If it were easy enough for you to use the donation as an entry or use it creatively to make your event more fun, we'd LOVE that.
So far we have the Fort McMurray Chess Club, who is hosting: BUGHOUSE CHESS FOR FOOD BANK - a fun twist for adults and children alike. This is taking place at the Wood Buffalo YMCA on Saturday Feb 27th from 3pm to 5pm. Bring a donation from the list below for entry!


The use or sale of tobacco, tobacco products, and smoking related products is prohibited on Indiana University property.
The use or sale of tobacco, tobacco products, and smoking related products is prohibited in university-owned, university-operated, or university-leased vehicles.
The use of tobacco, tobacco products, and smoking related products is permitted inside privately owned vehicles.
Limited exceptions may be approved in writing by the campus chancellor or provost or relevant vice president and must be in accordance with state law.
In accordance with Indiana state law, signs prohibiting smoking must be posted at all public entrances.
In accordance with Indiana state law, managers or officials in charge of a public building must ask an individual who is smoking in the public building or within 8 feet of the entrance of a public building to refrain from smoking and to cause that individual to be removed if the individual then fails to refrain from smoking.
In accordance with Indiana state law, ashtrays or other smoking receptacles are prohibited in public buildings or at the entrances to public buildings.
Indiana University is concerned about the toll that smoking and tobacco use has on the health and well-being of the university community. As a public institution of higher education with units that research and treat the effects of smoking and tobacco use, IU believes it has an obligation to exercise leadership by promoting a healthy, smoke-free environment for its students, employees, and visitors.
Tobacco and smoking related products - all tobacco-derived or tobacco containing products including, and not limited to, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos, hookah smoked products, pipes, and oral tobacco (e.g., spit and spitless, smokeless, chew, snuff) and nasal tobacco (e.g. snus). It also includes any product intended to mimic tobacco products or the smoking of any other substance.
Indiana University Property - Buildings, grounds, and land that are owned by Indiana University or controlled by Indiana University, via leases or other contractual arrangements.
University vehicles - include all licensed vehicles owned, leased, or rented by or for Indiana University.
Enforcement of this policy will depend on the cooperation of all faculty, staff, and students not only to comply with the policy, but also to encourage others to comply, in order to promote a healthy environment in which to work, study, and live. Civility and respect are expected by all members of the university community in regards to this policy.
Violations of the policy should be referred to the appropriate administrative office for review and action: for academic employees, the campus office of academic affairs; for staff, University Human Resources; and for students, the campus office of student life.
In February, 2007, the Trustees mandated that smoking and the sale of tobacco products would be prohibited on all university property no later than January 1, 2008. The policy was revised in 2013 to add to the list of prohibited products, refer to Indiana state law enacted in 2012, and to reformat the policy into the IU template.
