Learning the Dessert Story | Milk Bar

31. May, 2012

Sitting right in the beating heart of Chinatown, Dessert Story, a new restaurant serving Taiwanese and Hong Kong ?dessert secrets?, can be spotted by its glowing red lanterns and the queues out the door.

I have to be honest; while I?m a massive dessert fan, I was a little hesitant about my trip, never having really eaten Asian style desserts before. However, I was surprisingly impressed.

The menu offers up a large range of desserts and drinks. Once you start reading things like Tofu Pudding it?s pretty fun choosing which type of crushed ice you?re going to have.

While we didn?t try the Tofu Pudding, we did venture out of our dessert comfort zones and ordered the Mixed Pudding: chocolate, mango and milk ($5). Served atop a mound of sweetened shaved ice, the texture could be compared to firm jelly, but with a creamier flavour. It was unlike anything I?ve ever eaten before.

Next up was Watermelon Grass Jelly in watermelon juice ($5.50). This was a lovely refreshing dessert, the tiny cubes of grass jelly had a slightly bitter aftertaste, like strong tea, which complimented the sweetness of the watermelon juice. Last was the Strawberry Snow Ice ($8.80). This dish is simply a mountain of sweetened shaved ice covered in fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup. A super sweet dish made for sharing, it was the most popular one of the night.

So after you have had your dumpling fix next time in Chinatown, pop into Dessert Story for some after dinner sweets.

Monthly bookkeeping procedures for small businesses | Spark ...

Monthly Bookkeeping ProceduresI just ran across this article at BookkeepingNews.com.? They recommend these 10 monthly procedures:

  • Reconcile bank statements
  • Reconcile Accounts Receivable
  • Reconcile Accounts Payable
  • Inventory (if applicable) should agree with end of month supporting reports
  • Reconcile loans on the Balance Sheet
  • Reconcile payroll tax payable with payroll records
  • Reconcile sales tax payable (if applicable)
  • Record depreciation and amortization
  • Expense prepaid accounts
  • Make Adjusting Journal Entries.

Whew, that?s quite a list!? And I agree that all of these steps need to be taken to keep up with the financial picture for your company.? But it really made me think,? are self-employed people really going to have time for all that?

That?s why Spark Business Consulting offers their services to the small business owner who has many other things to do with their day besides recording depreciation and amortization!? So many of my clients have told me what a relief it is to have us taking care of the monthly financial reporting,? entering of payables and receivables,? and the many other details involved in running the financial aspects of a company.

Who do you know who owns a small business???Ask them how they keep their books.? If they roll their eyes,? that might be a great referral for us.? We grow our business by referrals,? and they?are greatly appreciated.

Palico, First Global Online Marketplace for Private Equity Fund ...

PARIS, May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Palico SAS announces the launch today of Palico, the first global online marketplace for the private equity fund community, bringing together fund investors ("LPs"), fund managers ("GPs"), placement agents and gatekeepers.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120530/CG14931)

Over two years in development, Palico is the first electronic platform to win broker-dealer licenses for the full range of private equity fund investment options, including opportunities in fundraising, secondaries and co-investment. Using the Palico self-service marketplace, private equity LPs, GPs, placement agents and gatekeepers, based in over 100 countries, have the ability to meet and engage with qualified, accredited primary, secondary and co-investment counterparts.

With Palico, LPs achieve unprecedented market coverage and productivity in their discovery process for fundraisings, co-investments, pledge funds and other private equity fund structures, while easily buying and selling secondary fund stakes. GPs leverage unique online capabilities to broaden their marketing efforts beyond their established business circle. Placement agents extend the reach of their fundraising and secondary mandates. Gatekeepers discover and select investment opportunities on behalf of their LP clients.

Palico has a rapidly growing subscriber base of private equity LPs, GPs and advisors from the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Access to the Palico platform is provided for a flat annual subscription fee. No success fees or commissions are levied on members.

"Our ambition is to unite the fragmented, multi-trillion dollar global private equity fund community," says Antoine Dr?an, founder and chief executive officer of Palico SAS. "Palico is a groundbreaking way for LPs, GPs and advisors to maximize manpower and a finite budget in an increasingly global and complex private equity world."

Using Palico an LP or gatekeeper can:

  • Anonymously search for GPs in strategies of interest.
  • At each visit, via an efficiently designed dashboard, consult an automatically updated news digest for strategies of interest, see GP communications ? including invitations to meet face-to-face ? and discover new, targeted opportunities that match declared strategies of interest.
  • Compare all the GP teams, fundraisings, secondaries and co-investment programs in strategies of interest, while maintaining anonymity.
  • Easily access the private placement memorandums, marketing documents and due diligence materials of GPs, dispensing with time consuming processes designed to prove qualified investor status.
  • Anonymously gauge interest in potential secondary sales with the option ? but not the obligation ? to conduct commission-free auctions via Palico.
  • Anonymously use Palico's non-binding, commission-free secondary auctions as benchmarks for further offline sales efforts.

Using Palico a GP or placement agent can:

  • Promote investment opportunities without restriction, via an online profile, and present marketing documents there.
  • Discover the identity of potential investors in exchange for giving them access to requested confidential investment documents (for example, a private placement memorandum).
  • Send short Twitter-like marketing messages to a global community of LPs and gatekeepers with a declared interest in a particular strategy.
  • Communicate before, during and after fundraising.
  • Generate investor leads easily, whether sales efforts are led by a placement agent, or by a GP's own investor relations team.

Palico's platform allows all of its members to easily ? and effectively ? discover and engage with qualified counterparts on a global scale, in a compliant, regulated and secure environment.

For LPs, GPs and advisors, Palico is a revolution in the making.

ABOUT PALICO

Emotional Freedom Technique: A Positive ... - Health and Fitness ...

I?m slowly changing for the better. I?m becoming a stronger, more focused, more self-assured and more grounded person ? much more so than I probably ever have been. All this is the result of using EFT (emotional freedom technique) on a consistent basis every day. When I first learnt the technique I?d use it only when I needed it, and I?d be amazed by the results.

As I began to tap on a more regular basis I started to see some very fundamental changes to some of the more profound behaviours that had been driving me all my life.

The more I tapped the more insights I developed about myself and my life, and the more I understood exactly what I needed to do to change for the better. The beauty of EFT for me is that it allows you to be completely and utterly honest with yourself about what you truly believe you are as a person.

Some of the more conventional schools of personal development thought advocate positive thinking at all times, so that good thoughts and consequent behaviours and habits become embedded in your psyche and body. This is absolutely fine. However, using positive thinking alone can be challenging if every fibre of your being is screaming ?I don?t believe a word of this!?

That scream represents a fundamental dilemma in your mind that can result from saying the affirmation (or positive phrase) out loud, but feeling in your body all the underlying negative emotions that conflict with that affirmation.

The underlying ?stuff? is said to represent your subconscious feelings and thoughts, which are said to be linked to your protection and survival mechanisms. They are therefore very strong, and often overpower any affirmation that comes from your conscious mind.

EFT allows you to start from where you are, and acknowledge your deepest thoughts, feelings and fears in a way that is safe and controlled. Whilst tapping and opening up to yourself you are revealing yourself to yourself. Although this can at times be traumatic (especially if it?s the first time you are really being honest with yourself), it is releasing you simultaneously from all the inhibitions that have kept you limited all your life.

The founder of EFT describes this process as cutting down trees in a forest. The tallest trees get chopped in half each time you perform EFT. This reveals other trees that, too, get chopped in half. Each tree represents an emotion, or issue that you are dealing with. Gradually, over time, all the trees get completely chopped down, and you are left feeling calm, centred, fearless and completely self-assured.

Like myself, EFT can be used to work on the trees in your own emotional ?forest? so that you may come to a place where you feel safe. This secure feeling can come from the knowledge that you have a tool designed to offer release from numerous emotional and physical issues. This can have a positive knock-on effect to your physical health and overall sense of wellbeing.

GOP ties Obama to NH student debt, ignores origins

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) ? New Hampshire isn't just first in the nation when it comes to hosting presidential primaries. It also ranks first in student-loan debt, and now the winner of the state's Republican presidential primary is seizing on that fact to argue that President Barack Obama has let down students.

Coinciding with Vice President Joe Biden's visit last week to Keene State College, the Republican Party released a web ad juxtaposing video of New Hampshire college students describing their staggering debt with what it characterized as Obama's failed promises to deliver relief. But the truth is far more complicated, and at least one of the students featured in the ad was not happy to learn that his comments were used to further an argument he rejects.

"Considering I am not a supporter of Mitt Romney, this is not exactly sitting well with me," said Matt Raso, who just finished his sophomore year at Southern New Hampshire University. The 19-year-old from Warwick, R.I., expects to graduate with roughly $80,000 in debt and said he doesn't hold Obama or the federal government responsible for any of it.

"They can't really control too much of what each school does," he said.

The ad was later removed after the television station that interviewed Raso objected to the use of its copyrighted material. But Romney's campaign stood by its assertion and plans to make the same argument in other battleground states, spokesman Ryan Williams said.

"We're highlighting the fact that the president has not been able to help students deal with this crushing debt," he said.

U.S. seniors who graduated with student loans in 2010 owed an average of $25,250, up 5 percent from the previous year, according to the Institute for College Access and Success, an education advocacy group that compiles data reported by colleges and universities. New Hampshire's average was just above $31,000, the highest in the nation.

In neighboring Massachusetts, which now ranks 12th, the average debt carried by college graduates increased by nearly 25 percent when Romney was governor from 2004 to 2007.

And while Romney's campaign and the Republican Party have seized on New Hampshire's ranking, "this is not a new issue," said Pauline Abernathy, vice president of the education advocacy group. Its annual rankings date to 2005, and New Hampshire has been in the top five each year for a variety of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the president or the federal government.

One significant factor is the state's mix of colleges and universities.

The percentage of New Hampshire students who attend private schools is higher than the national average, 40 percent compared to 29 percent nationally. Private schools generally are more expensive than public schools, and New Hampshire's private schools tend to be more expensive than its own public schools as well as private schools in other states.

New Hampshire's public colleges and universities also are more expensive than other state schools, which is illustrated by another ranking that likely contributes heavily to the state's high debt level: New Hampshire is last in per capita state support for public higher education.

That's according to the annual Grapevine study by the Center for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State University, which found overall state support for higher education declined nearly 8 percent nationwide last year. While nearly every state cut its funding for higher education last year, New Hampshire's decline was the steepest: the Legislature cut funding to the university system by 48 percent.

That's not to say federal policies have no impact. Abernathy said the debt figures would be higher had federal spending on Pell Grants to low-income students not roughly doubled in 2009-2010 school year, compared to two years earlier.

Obama not only accomplished that, but won approval for a college tax credit worth up to $10,000 over four years and wants Congress to reduce federal aid to colleges that go too far in raising tuition, said Holly Shulman, the Obama campaign's New Hampshire spokeswoman. Romney, meanwhile, supported the House-passed budget, which would cut funding for Pell Grants.

Obama, Romney and lawmakers of both parties say they want to protect college students from a sharp increase in interest rates on federal subsidized loans. But proposals to keep the rates from doubling on July 1 have become stuck in election-year wrangling over how to pay for the $6 billion cost.

Though Biden didn't talk about student loans in New Hampshire, he and Obama have been traveling to college campuses in key battleground states in recent months to talk up the issue.

In Colorado, where Obama has visited three campuses in the past year, the conservative group Compass Colorado has countered his speeches about student loans with a radio ad in which an actor portraying a recent college graduate refuses to attend an Obama rally on campus because she blames the president for her student loan debt and her joblessness.

Raso, the Southern New Hampshire University student, said he likely will vote for Obama in November, though he does worry about getting a job in his chosen field ? graphic design ? when he graduates.

"This summer, I've applied at over 30 places and only gotten one interview," he said. "It is kind of worrying me."

ANA Endorses President Barack Obama's Re-Election Bid




The American Nurses Association?this week announced its endorsement of President Barack Obama for re-election.

"Increasing access to care and transforming the American healthcare system from one that focuses on illness care to a system that emphasizes prevention, wellness, and care coordination have been ANA's priorities for more than two decades," said ANA President Karen A. Daley, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN.?"ANA remains committed to supporting President Obama's efforts to fully implement and fund the Affordable Care Act."??

According to ANA, the Obama administration has consistently supported the nursing profession by appointing nurses to key leadership positions and creating new opportunities for nurses to deliver care through community health centers and school-based health centers.

The president has also supported nursing workforce programs, which include nurse faculty education and expanding loan repayment and scholarship programs.

"The Obama administration values nurses' expertise and understands that nurses need to practice to the full extent of their education, training, and licensure in order to fulfill the vision of healthcare reform," Daley said.?"We're honored to have the support of the American Nurses Association, and we look forward to working with them throughout the campaign," said Jim Messina, Obama for America campaign manager.

"President Obama believes affordable, reliable health insurance is an important part of middle-class security. He refuses to go back to when health insurance companies had unchecked power to deny coverage when you get sick or charge women more than men simply because of their gender," Messina continued.

"Americans who work hard and pay their premiums deserve the security that comes with good healthcare - and America's nurses know that. With their help, we'll ensure that President Obama has another 4 years to continue implementing the landmark health reforms that are already helping millions of Americans save money and lead healthier lives."

ANA will connect members who wish to engage actively?in the president's re-election efforts with the campaign's?Nurses for Obama?group. ANA has members in all 50 states and all U.S. territories, and has been making endorsements of candidates for? president since 1984.

Unemployment Rates Fall, But So Does Number of Carlton Co. Jobs

Unemployment rates are?falling, but?Carlton County also has fewer jobs than it did one year ago, according to the latest statistics from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

Carlton County had 16,511 jobs in April, which is 70 less than one year ago.? Still, the unemployment rate for Carlton County?in April was 7.2 percent, down from both one month and one year earlier.

It's possible for the unemployment rate to fall even while the number of jobs falls because the unemployment rate is calculated using the number of people actively seeking work.

"Hiring is strong in multiple industries, though manufacturing and health care appear to slower in general than they've been in recent months," said Drew Digby, a regional labor market analyst for DEED. "Leisure and hospitality hiring remains behind last year."

"One of the main strengths of the job market is that employers have dramatically reduced the number of people they are laying off. In April, seasonal layoffs where at their lowest level for an April in 12 year," Digby said.

Cloquet's unemployment rate for April was 7.8 percent.? Other rates included 7.8 percent in Aitkin and Pine counties, 8.4 percent in Cass County, 6.8 percent in Crow Wing County, and 10.7 percent in Brainerd.

Northeastern Minnesota as a whole, including Carlton and Aitkin counties,?saw a net gain of 180 jobs over the year.? The regional unemployment rate for April was 6.7 percent.? All cities and counties in northeastern Minnesota saw unemployment declines in April, over the course of both a month and a year.

The local unemployment numbers are not adjusted for regular seasonal variations.? The statewide unadjusted unemployment rate for April was 6.7 percent, while the national unadjusted rate was 8.1 percent.

(AP Photo/NASA)

(AP) ? The private company SpaceX made history Friday with the docking of its Dragon capsule to the International Space Station, the most impressive feat yet in turning routine spaceflight over to the commercial sector.

It marked the first time a business enterprise delivered a supply ship to the space station.

"There's so much that could have gone wrong and it went right," said an elated Elon Musk, the young, driven billionaire behind SpaceX.

"This really is, I think, going to be recognized as a significantly historical step forward in space travel ? and hopefully the first of many to come."

SpaceX still has to get its Dragon back next week with a load of science gear; the retro bell-shaped capsule is designed to splash down into the ocean, in the style of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. But Friday was the crucial step, Musk noted, and NASA agreed the next SpaceX mission could come as early as September.

After a three-day flight from Cape Canaveral, the Dragon closed in on the space station as two control centers ? NASA in Houston and SpaceX in Hawthorne, Calif. ? worked in tandem. A problem with the capsule laser-tracking system prompted SpaceX controllers to order a temporary retreat, but the problem quickly was resolved.

NASA astronaut Donald Pettit used the space station's 58-foot robot arm to snare the gleaming white Dragon as the two craft soared 250 miles above Australia, a day after a practice fly-by.

"Looks like we've got us a dragon by the tail," Pettit announced once he locked onto Dragon's docking mechanism.

NASA's dressed-up controllers applauded. In contrast, their SpaceX counterparts ? including Musk ? lifted their arms in triumph and jumped out of their seats to exchange high fives.

The company's youthful-looking employees ? the average age is 30 ? were still in a frenzy when Musk took part in a televised news conference a couple hours later. They screamed with excitement as if it were a pep rally and chanted, "E-lon, E-lon, E-lon," as the 40-year-old Musk, wearing a black athletic jacket with the SpaceX logo, described the day's events.

Alcohol was banned from the premises during the crucial flight operation, Musk noted, "but now that things are good, I think we'll probably have a bit of champagne and have some fun." The crowd roared in approval.

Although cargo hauls have become routine, Friday's linkup was significant in that an individual company pulled it off. That chore was previously reserved for a small, elite group of government agencies.

Not only that, the reusable SpaceX Dragon is designed to safely return items, a huge benefit that disappeared with NASA's space shuttles. It is the first U.S. craft to visit the station since the final shuttle flight last summer.

"I think you know it, but you made history today," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told the space station astronauts and everyone else involved in Friday's docking. "It was an effort that will revolutionize the way we carry out space exploration."

NASA provided seed money for SpaceX ? $381 million going into Tuesday's launch, a small portion of the more than $1 billion that the company has invested in the effort.

Two hours after the capture, the crew attached the Dragon to the space station as the congratulations poured in.

"Everyone who is working to push forward the space frontier recognizes that such a mission is a massive challenge, and I join the world in lauding this important accomplishment," said Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic, a space tourism company that is holding a seat for Musk aboard its SpaceShipTwo.

"Nearly 43 years after we first walked on the moon, we have taken another step in demonstrating continued American leadership in space," said Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin, the second man to step onto the moon.

The capsule? 19 feet tall and 12 feet across ? is carrying 1,000 pounds of supplies on this unprecedented test flight. The crew starts unpacking Saturday and will have just under a week to unload the food, clothes and other contents.

After this test flight, SpaceX ? officially known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp. ? has a contract to make a dozen delivery runs. It is one of several companies vying for NASA's cargo business and a chance to launch Americans from U.S. soil.

Rival Orbital Sciences Corp. is shooting for its own supply run by year's end.

President Barack Obama is pushing commercial ventures in orbit so NASA can concentrate on grander destinations like asteroids and Mars. Obama's chief scientific adviser, John Holdren, called Friday's linkup "an achievement of historic scientific and technological significance."

"It's essential we maintain such competition and fully support this burgeoning and capable industry to get U.S. astronauts back on American launch vehicles as soon as possible," Holdren said in a statement.

Without the shuttle, NASA astronauts must go through Russia, an expensive and embarrassing situation for the U.S. after a half-century of orbital self-sufficiency. Once companies master supply runs, they hope to tackle astronaut ferry runs.

Musk, who founded SpaceX a decade ago and helped create PayPal, said he can have astronauts riding his Dragon capsules to orbit in three or four years. He also runs the electric car company Tesla Motors.

The space station has been relying on Russian, Japanese and European cargo ships for supplies ever since the shuttles retired. None of those, however, can bring anything of value back; they're simply loaded with trash and burn up in the atmosphere.

The space station's six-man crew will release the Dragon on Thursday after filling it with science experiments and equipment. It will aim for the Pacific Ocean just off the California coast.

"At the beginning of the launch, I said there were a thousand things that had to go right," said Alan Lindenmoyer, manager of NASA's commercial crew and cargo program. "Well, there still are several hundred left. But I am very confident we'll get through it. ... Today this really is the beginning of a new era in commercial spaceflight"

Christoph A. Geiseler: Improvisation: Vertical Videos Offer iPad Users a New Experience

Over the last 100 years, motion pictures have been almost exclusively produced in a horizontal aspect ratio for theaters, projectors, televisions and computer screens (e.g. 4:3 and 16:9). Suddenly, smartphones, tablets, rotating monitors and lightweight projectors make it possible for users to watch videos in a vertical format that was never possible on conventional screens in the past (i.e. 3:4 or 9:16 ratio, or "vertical videos"). Vertical videos require filmmakers to improvise with equipment not designed to produce videos in this way.

To explore the aesthetics of the vertical video format, I filmed, edited and produced a vertical video documentary about India called Curry Power. The 10-minute documentary is a musical collage that features tigers, camel polo, holy men, dancers and live music by renowned musicians Pete Lockett and Wasifuddin Dagar. During the Curry Power production process, I did not have access to a tripod for vertical videos or customized video-editing software for post-production. Here are 10 useful insights and tips for filmmakers who want to produce vertical videos.

10 VERTICAL VIDEO INSIGHTS & TIPS

1. Composition

Professional photographers have always used the vertical aspect ratio to capture extraordinary images, which explains why some compositions are better suited for a vertical aspect ratio than a horizontal aspect ratio. Musicians on a stage, runway models, train tracks disappearing into the distance, close-up portraits, skyscrapers and trees beg for a vertical video to capture their inherent beauty: the essence of their form, flow and function is vertical.?

2. Orientation

Visual artists have often experimented with vertical videos in art installations and have enjoyed varying success; vertical projections are nothing new, yet they are remarkably unconventional.

Our eyes are not oriented vertically like a flounder or Cyclops, so it feels unnatural for us to watch moving images that are framed vertically on a screen. Tablets and smartphones are small enough, however, so we can comfortably watch vertical videos without getting migraines. A large, life-size projection of a vertical video stimulates our senses differently than a horizontal video because our orientation to the ground is vertical and humans "come to life" on the vertical screen.

3. Camera Design

Video cameras are not designed to film vertically, unless they are turned sideways or incorporated in a handheld device like a smartphone (which then classifies the device as a phone, not a camera). SLR cameras with high-definition video functionality are great for producing vertical videos; turn the camera sideways and start filming. These cameras enable the user to control the depth of field, F-stop, ISO and shutter speed to maximize the professional quality of a vertical video.

4. Perspective

The vertical video format requires a video-maker to position himself or herself at unconventional or oblique angles from a scene to include more visual information in the foreground and background of the image. Snapping a vertical image before filming a vertical video helps to "storyboard," or plan out a sequence in a visual story, especially at an unscripted or improvised moment.

5. Tripods

Tripods always mount to the bottom of horizontally-oriented cameras, which makes it difficult to use a tripod to produce vertical videos, unless the ball-head of the tripod can tilt 90 degrees. The best solution for keeping a vertical video steady is by using an extra battery pack with a grip for an SLR camera. The battery pack adds enough weight to stabilize an image. It also helps to use a lens with an image stabilizer and tuck elbows in close to the body.

6. Editing

Filming sideways with an SLR camera to produce a vertical video means that the video footage will appear sideways when it is imported and displayed on a computer screen. Sometimes video editing programs do not offer a vertical preview option. When a vertical preview option is available, editing a vertical video on a horizontal screen limits the viewing surface area. The best solution for editing a vertical video is by using an external computer monitor to preview the sideways footage; position the monitor vertically by mounting it on a 1-foot electric guitar stand.

7. Audience

Commercial video production is horizontal because the majority of all content distributors broadcast to conventional, horizontal screens (e.g. network television, cable, YouTube, etc.). With millions of smartphones and tablets in the hands of consumers, the audience for vertical videos is a huge, untapped market.

8. Public Spaces

Even though we read books, posters, signs and advertisements in a vertical format, the majority of producers abide by horizontal conventions when they make their videos. Imagine when every vertical billboard, advertisement or digital page will display vertical videos: endless opportunity.

9. Communication

Communication applications such as Apple's "Facetime" use a vertical video format to give users a personal feeling when they chat in real time. At some point in the future, all digital communication devices will have the capacity to broadcast video content in real time, so a "Facetime" experience will eventually merge with real time vertical video storytelling techniques.

10. New Media

Vertical videos offer new opportunities for filmmakers willing to improvise within the confines of convention. By sharing stories vertically and broadcasting content specifically for devices like the iPad, it will be possible for us to push the boundaries of new media and explore innovative ways of relating to each other when we document the stories of our everyday lives.

A person's smell cells are forever

Unlike other mammals, humans don?t make new olfactory neurons, a study suggests

Web edition : Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

People may be born with all the smell-sensing brain cells they will ever have, a new study concludes.

That makes human brains different from those of rodents, nonhuman primates and other mammals, which constantly make new nerve cells, or neurons, in the odor-processing olfactory bulb. Humans don?t rely on the sense of smell as much as other animals do, so maybe it isn?t surprising that people don?t make new odor-sensing cells, says study author Jonas Fris?n, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

Neurons are born in two areas: a memory-and-learning center called the hippocampus and the subventricular zone, which surrounds the two vacant spaces in the middle of the brain. In mice, neurons from the subventricular zone migrate to the olfactory bulb and wire into neural circuits, helping the animals learn new smells.

Some evidence exists already that humans also repopulate their hippocampus with new neurons, but data have been less clear for olfactory neurons. Now, Fris?n and colleagues have used the steady decline of radiocarbon produced in 20th century nuclear tests to determine the birth dates of brain cells. The results, published in the May 24 Neuron, show that few if any olfactory neurons are created after a person?s birth.

A very small number of neurons may still be born and incorporated in the olfactory bulb, but may not be enough to matter. The researchers calculate that olfactory neurons are replaced at a rate of less than 1 percent per century in humans, compared with about 50 percent annually in rodents.

The new study may help clear up controversy surrounding neuron regeneration in the olfactory system, says Fred Gage, a neuroscientist at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif.

But the research can?t be definitive in determining that neuron regeneration never takes place in the human olfactory system, says Jeffrey Macklis, a neuroscientist and developmental biologist at Harvard University. The method can detect only cells that have wired into the brain. Cells that are born but die without being incorporated into the brain would go undetected.

Studies in Macklis? lab and others have demonstrated that new olfactory neurons in mouse brains will die if the mouse isn?t exposed to new smells. It could be that new olfactory neurons are created, but don?t stick around long if humans aren?t constantly exposed to new odors.

If the researchers were to study the brains of people such as perfumers, vintners, sommeliers and chefs who use their sense of smell professionally and often encounter new scents, the result might be different, Macklis says.

Many of the people in the study had psychiatric disorders or were substance abusers. Those types of brain disorders are known to reduce the amount of neuron regeneration.

Finance ministry tabled white paper and black money focuses on real

By Accommodation Times Bureau

The buyer has the option of investing his black money by paying cash in addition to the documented sale consideration. This also leads to generation of black money in the hands of the recipient, the White Paper on black money prepared by the Finance Ministry said

New Delhi: The ?White Paper on Black Money? presents the different facets of black money and its complex relationship with policy and administrative regime in the country. It also reflects upon the policy options and strategies that the Government has been pursuing in the context of recent initiatives, or need to take up in the near future, to address the issue of black money and corruption in public life.
Due to rising prices of real estate, the tax incidence applicable on real estate transactions in the form of stamp duty and capital gains tax can create incentives for tax evasion through under-reporting of transaction price. This can lead to both generation and investment of black money. The buyer has the option of investing his black money by paying cash in addition to the documented sale consideration. This also leads to generation of black money in the hands of the recipient, the White Paper on black money prepared by the Finance Ministry said.
Further said, a more sophisticated form occasionally resorted to consists of cash for the purchase of transferable development rights (TDR).

The property market remains one of the most inefficient asset markets in India:
The real estate sector in India constitutes about 11 per cent of the GDP. Investment in property is a common means of parking unaccounted money and a large number of transactions in real estate are not reported or are under-reported. This is mainly on account of very high levels of property transaction taxes, commonly in the form of stamp duty. High transaction taxes in property are one of the biggest impediments to the development of an efficient property market. With tax rates of over 5 per cent being imposed as stamp duty on buying of property, which otherwise also involves high transactions costs in terms of search, advertising, commissions, registration, and contingent costs related to title disputes and litigation, the property market remains one of the most inefficient asset markets in India. Unless the underlying distortions in this market are taken care of by appropriate reforms, it may be difficult to prevent such misuse.

Even after 73rd and 74th amendments local rural and urban bodies as the third tier of govt:
As per the division of powers between the states and the centre, the real estate sector has largely been left to the state governments to regulate and tax. Even after the 73rd and 74th amendments to the constitution of India which recognized local rural and urban bodies as the third tier of government, the power to legislate with respect to real estate properties and transactions therein remains with the states. Different state governments have undertaken reforms in this sector at differing pace, while their implementation is further subject to the capacity and commitment of the respective local urban bodies.

JNNURM implemented in 2005-06 to support Urban Infrastructure as well as to restrict stamp duty at 5%:
The role of the central government in reforms of the real estate sector is generally limited and advisory in nature. However, this has not prevented the Government of India from initiating steps to incentivize reforms. Its flagship programme, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), being implemented since 2005-06 aims to support urban infrastructural development by providing both monetary and non-monetary support, for reforms in different sectors of the local economy.
It includes reforms of the stamp duty regime to restrict it to no more than 5 per cent. Some states have carried out this reform, but others are still persisting with very high stamp duty regimes. For states that are resource constrained there is a case for identifying and implementing adequate revenue-neutral substitutes to facilitate the rationalisation of stamp duties.

Repeal of ULCRA reforms of the Rent Control Act will balance the interests of tenants and owners:
There are many other pending reforms required for the emergence of an efficient competitive real estate market. These include repeal of the Urban Land Ceiling Regulation Act (ULCRA), reforms of the Rent Control Act that will balance the interests of tenants and owners and free properties of its distortions, revision of bye-laws to streamline the approval process for construction of buildings, development of sites, simplification of legal and procedural frameworks for conversion of land from agricultural to non-agricultural purposes, introduction of the Property Title Certification System in Urban Local Bodies, introduction of computerised process of registration of land and property, introduction of e-governance in local administration
and tax payments, creation of computerised fiscal cadastres and rationalisation of property tax designs.
Each of these areas had been given a thrust by making it conditional to the release of financing for urban projects by the central government. Evidence suggests that the mission has achieved considerable success.
However, a lot more needs to be done in this regard. There may also be a case for integration of local urban authorities in a nationwide digital database and sharing of data and information with state and central agencies.

Direct Tax legislation mandatory furnishing of the Tax identification number by buyer and seller if immovable property if the value exceeds Rs 5Lakh:
The current provisions of the direct tax legislation provide for mandatory furnishing of the tax identification number by the buyer and seller of an immovable property if the value exceeds Rs 5 lakh. Also, every registry of property is required to furnish annually information regarding transactions in immovable property if the value exceeds Rs 30 lakh. However, as many registrar offices still operate on a manual system, there are a number of gaps and lapses in the reporting of such transactions.

To deter element of black money in immovable property deals focus on actionable intelligence by monitoring agencies and simple reporting system:
To reduce the element of black money in transactions relating to immovable property and facilitate focused action based on actionable intelligence by monitoring agencies, simple reporting systems can be evolved that will facilitate the development of a nationwide database. Such a database should be computerdriven with minimal interface between the authorities and the people, and accessible to all financial regulatory authorities.
One of the measures for deterring use of the real estate sector for generation and investment of black money could be the provision of deducting tax at source on payments made on real estate transactions and mandating it as a pre-condition for registering of the transacted property. The provisions of tax collected at source on the developers of the property can also be considered as a possible policy measure. Electronic payment and electronic reporting can mitigate the compliance burden.
Further, to reduce the element of black money in transactions relating to immovable property, the provision of no objection certificate (NOC) may be introduced in the income tax law with safeguards to reduce administrative complications and increased ease of compliance, so that an appropriate and uniform database is set up and a proper national-level regulation also put in place. The new system should be computer-driven with minimal interface between the tax authorities and taxpayers, and enforced by a dedicated unit within the investigative machinery of the income tax department on the basis of pre-determined parameters and standard operating procedures.

RelayHealth, Greenway Accelerate Health System Data Exchange ...


ALPHARETTA, Ga. CARROLLTON, Ga., May 24, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) ?
Leading healthcare information technology providers RelayHealth and
Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc. today announced the completion of a
development agreement establishing integrated data exchange between
hospital and ambulatory settings.

RelayHealth provides a patient-centric interoperability platform to its
health system customers to help enable care coordination throughout the
organization and to other local, regional and state exchanges.

Greenway provides information technology solutions and managed business
services to ambulatory healthcare providers through its single-database
electronic health record (EHR) and practice management solution PrimeSUITE(R),
integrating clinical, financial and administrative physician practice
workflows and interoperability with labs, physician networks and health
systems.

By working together to standardize hospital-clinic connectivity
implementation, Greenway and RelayHealth bring key benefits to their
customers. For example, hospitals and health systems realize more rapid
ambulatory adoption to fulfill hospital alignment strategies, experience
reduced need for internal technical resources and can more quickly build
rich data for population health management. Ambulatory practices gain an
HIE-enabled EHR at go-live and increased care coordination capabilities
integrated directly into their PrimeSUITE workflow.

The out-of-the-box, workflow-integrated connectivity advances
innovations in total health system integration and expands care
coordination goals utilizing standards-based transport protocols
required by private and public payer initiatives such as Shared Savings,
meaningful use, PQRS and patient-centered medical homes.

?Self Regional Healthcare respects the investment that our aligned
physicians have already made in EHR technology and we welcome an
interoperability solution immediately compatible to the acute and
ambulatory exchange of information,? said Chuck McDevitt, CIO, Self
Regional Healthcare, Greenwood, SC. ?By leveraging RelayHealth?s
vendor-neutral health information exchange, Greenway is helping its
customers prepare for meaningful use.?

Health systems such as Baptist Healthcare System, Inc., based in
Louisville, KY utilize the combined RelayHealth and Greenway technology
for connectivity with its aligned physician practice Lexington OB GYN
Associates, for example.

?By adding a new level of pristine interoperability to health system
market choices, the collaboration between Greenway and RelayHealth
announces to the CIO and provider community that health IT leaders
understand our responsibility to provide avenues for a true health
information network,? said Greenway(R) President and CEO Tee Green. ?I am
very excited about this milestone and we are committed to providing a
scalable enterprise solution to health systems increasingly seeking to
connect continuums of care.?

?The agreement between RelayHealth and Greenway sets a new standard for
IT vendor cooperation, with a goal toward a more positive, interoperable
experience for all healthcare providers,? said Jeff Felton, president,
RelayHealth. ?Hospital CIOs and physicians have expressed frustration
that IT vendors won?t ?come to the table? to get interoperability done.
Greenway and RelayHealth are proving that IT vendors can create
interoperability across systems, and can do so amicably and without
customer frustration.?
