Abstract: FDI Flow in India 2007 touched USD 15.7 billion, which represents a growth rate of 184 percent. India is considered to be the most appropriate country for business and therefore Foreign Direct Investment is enormously high in the country.
FDI Inflows to India have been growing at a high rate for the last few years. UNCTAD's World Investment Report states that India ranked fourth in terms of receiving FDI during the year 2006-07, which amounted to USD 22 billion with a growth rate of 126 percent.
The Foreign Direct Investment Inflows during the year 2007-08 was USD 5,614 million as against USD 2,848 million in the previous year during the same period with a growth rate of 97 percent. The total FDI Inflows in India during the epoch August 1991 to July 2007 was USD 60,242 million. Between 2001-02 and 2006-07, FDI inflows in India increased by about two and a half times.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows into India reached USD 4.9 billion in the first quarter of the year 2007. The major contributor in this alarming FDI Inflow had been the British Telecom major called Vodafone. It led to FDI Inflow of USD 801 million in India's growing telecom industry. FDI Flow in India during April-June 2007 had been USD 1.7 billion, which is apparently a rise of 185 percent as against in the same period of 2006. During January-June 2007, FDI Inflows in India increased by 216 percent as against USD 3.6 billion in the previous year. Foreign Direct Investment in India has generated maximum employment in the year 2007. Delhi received FDI Inflow of around USD 1.3 billion till May 2007 which accounted for a growth of 36 percent of the total FDI Inflows in India. Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai have contributed to two-thirds of the total FDI inflows into the country. Matsushita Electric Works of Japan brought in USD 342 million in India in 2007. Mauritius had been the biggest source of Foreign Direct Investment in India in the year 2007. Services, telecom, electrical equipment, real estate and transportation were the five major sectors that received maximum foreign direct investment inflows in India in the year 2007.
The Government of India has granted permission to foreign investors to set up Joint Venture companies with various private sector units in India. This task is carried out with the aim to establish country-specific investment promotion centers in India and overseas countries. The ten countries who will be involved in setting up country-specific investment promotion centers in India include, US, Japan, Taiwan, UK, Germany, Singapore, France, South Korea, Switzerland and Italy.

The member will be allowed 30 calendar days from the date of notice of action or inaction to file a grievance or appeal. Home State shall acknowledge receipt of each grievance in the manner in which is received. Any individuals who make a decision on grievances will not be involved in any previous level of review or decision making. In any case where the reason for the grievance involves clinical issues or relates to denial of expedited resolution of an appeal, Home State shall ensure that the decision makers are healthcare professionals with the appropriate clinical expertise in treating the member’s condition or disease. [42 CFR § 438.406] Home State values its providers and will not take punitive action, including and up to termination of a provider agreement or other contractual arrangements, for providers who file a grievance on a member’s behalf.
Grievance Resolution Time Frame – Grievance Resolution will occur as expeditiously as the member’s health condition requires, not to exceed 30 calendar days from the date of the initial receipt of the grievance. Expedited grievance reviews will be available for members in situations deemed urgent, such as a denial of an expedited appeal request, and will be resolved within 72 hours.
An appeal is the request for review of a “Notice of Adverse Action.” A “Notice of Adverse Action” is the denial or limited authorization of a requested service, including the type or level of service; the reduction, suspension, or termination of a previously authorized service; the denial, in whole or part of payment for a service excluding technical reasons; the failure to render a decision within the required timeframes; or the denial of a member’s request to exercise his/her right under 42 CFR 438.52(b)(2)(ii) to obtain services outside the Home State network.
Appeal Resolution Time Frame - The review may be requested in writing or orally, however oral requests for appeals within the standard timeframe must be resolved within 30 days of receipt of the appeal, with a 14 day extension possible if additional information is required. Members may request that Home State review the Notice of Adverse Action to verify if the right decision has been made. Expedited appeals may be filed when either Home State or the member’s provider determines that the time expended in a standard resolution could seriously jeopardize the member’s life or health or ability to attain, maintain, or regain maximum function. No punitive action will be taken against a provider that requests an expedited resolution or supports a member’s appeal. In instances where the member’s request for an expedited appeal is denied, the appeal must be transferred to the timeframe for standard resolution of appeals.
Decisions for expedited appeals are issued as expeditiously as the member’s health condition requires, not exceeding 72 hours from the initial receipt of the appeal. Home State may extend this timeframe by up to an additional 14 calendar days if the member requests the extension or if Home State provides evidence satisfactory to the DSS that a delay in rendering the decision is in the member’s interest. For any extension not requested by the member,Home State shall provide written notice to the member of the reason for the delay. Home State shall make reasonable efforts to provide the member with prompt verbal notice of any decisions that are not resolved wholly in favor of the member and shall follow-up within two calendar days with a written notice of action.

Welcome to my Friday bonus feature called Karen’s Killer Fixin’s **Author Special**!! Today, in lieu of one of my own recipes, I’m going to introduce you to a new author who will share one of her favorite recipes. Not only will you and I occasionally learn how to make something new and delicious, but we’ll get a chance to check out some wonderful authors. Introducing author, CARA MARSI, and her favorite recipe for POTATO & ONION FRITTATA!!
A San Francisco sous chef discovers she might have bitten off more than she can chew when a yummy Italian man stirs up a recipe for romance on the delicious Isle of Capri.
Sous chef Cat Connors has spent a lifetime feeling like a stale cracker on a plate of fancy hors d’oeuvres among her stepfamily. But when she travels from San Francisco to the sunny Isle of Capri, she’s determined to finally shed her dowdy image and spice up her life. She has big plans for her future as a chef. Those plans don’t include a yummy Italian with a mouth-watering body and a smile that melts her insides like gelato under the hot Capri sun.
The urgent male voice broke into Cat Connors’ thoughts and rose above the babel of languages from the tourists crowding Capri’s main square, La Piazetta. The man’s voice got closer. Her knowledge of Italian was limited, but it sounded like he wanted a woman’s attention. He couldn’t be talking to her. She kept walking.
Someone touched her arm, stopping her.
With a gasp, she turned around. Her gaze collided with a black T-shirt stretched over a hard, muscled chest. Slowly, she raised her eyes to take in six feet of male hotness. He stared down at her with the hazel eyes of a Roman god. He must have descended from the heavens, with those chiseled cheekbones, wavy dark blond hair and full lips that promised heavenly delights. He epitomized the kind of gorgeous guy she’d expect to find on this romantic island.
She felt in her pants pocket. Empty.
“My phone! Thank you. Where did you find it?” Hoping he spoke English, she took the phone from him.
“It fell out of your pocket.” Speaking perfect English, his deep voice with a hint of lilting accent sent a jolt of pleasure coursing through her.
His killer grin made her insides melt like gelato in the hot Italian sun.
Someone shoved against her and she almost lost her balance. Mr. Roman God cupped her elbow, steadying her.
“It’s not every day I have the pleasure of meeting a beautiful American,” he said.
Her beautiful? No one except her mother had ever called her that. “Uh—thank you,” she stammered.
“I would like to buy you a glass of wine.” He studied her with those incredible hazel eyes fringed by thick dark lashes.
This smokin’ guy was picking her up in the middle of Capri’s main square? Men rarely hit on studious, quiet Cat Connors. Must be something in the water here.
Anxiety fueled by shyness compelled Cat to say no. If she was ever to become the new Cat, she had to forge ahead and take chances. Forced to come here on this family trip, she’d decided it would be the catalyst she needed to complete her metamorphosis into a new Cat. She’d finally pull free from the shadows of her glamorous stepsisters and be her own person—a woman who no longer tried to please others but lived her own life. A little harmless flirtation with Mr. Roman God would be the perfect place to start. In this square packed with tourists, she’d be safe. She had time before she had to meet Angelina.
They sat at an outdoor table in a nearby café that fronted the square. Mr. Roman God said something in rapid Italian to the waiter who brought over a bottle of chilled pinot grigio, opened it, and presented the cork to her companion, who sniffed the cork and nodded that the wine was acceptable. The waiter filled two glasses and shoved the opened bottle into an ice-filled bucket on a stand next to them.

NOTE FROM CARA: Much like the spinach, mushroom, potato frittata Cat and Alex share.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Finely chop the onion.
Heat oil in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and chopped onion, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and just tender, 12 to 15 minutes more. If desired, when the potatoes are almost done, stir in fresh spinach and sliced mushrooms and saute. Stir in the parsley.
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ¼ Tsp. each salt and pepper; stir in the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir to distribute the ingredients. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is puffed, brown around the edges, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.
Thanks, Cara, for sharing your book with us!

Would you, could you, in the streets?
It’s a rare day when Mark Morford and I agree. Usually his columns fill me with a sense of rising bile at his general stupidity and lack of insight into a situation. So I was surprised when I read yesterday’s column, about the mass slaughter of dogs in China, to find myself actually liking the column, the writing, and the thoughts expressed.
Mass slaughter of dogs in China, you say, what’s this? Well, China has a rabies problem. Not a massive rabies problem, but it does kill around 2,000 people a year, and the Chinese government has decided that the best way to deal with it is slaughtering the canina population en masse, usually with clubs and sticks. The government argues that it’s too late and too impractical to attempt to vaccinate all the dogs, therefore security teams wander the streets of Chinese cities picking up stray dogs and clubbing them to death. One might argue that this is one solution to the problem–after all, millions of birds were summarily executed for a much less tangible threat (though it could have become more deadly).
Most people, upon hearing this news, have a visceral reaction of disgust. It’s unfathomable, especially to Westerners, that animals should be mass murdered for social convenience, right? That people wouldn’t take care of their animals, vaccinating them and taking them to the veterinarian? That’s dirty, that’s subhuman, that’s wrong.
As Mark Morford points out, we Americans slaughter over three million cats and dogs every year. We may do it with sodium pentathol, and we may do it behind the walls of “animal shelters,” but it still happens. We also pump sensitive, intelligent animals full of harmful hormones and keep them in feedlots for their short and miserable lives before slaughtering them in brutal conditions. Factory farming is as ugly in my eyes as slaughtering dogs in the public street–it’s just that most people don’t face up to the realities of where their meat comes from.
Furthermore, not much protest was raised about the mass slaughter of poultry across Asia in an attempt to combat bird flu. Millions of birds were slaughtered and stacked in pits. Some were burned alive. And all this for an epidemic that has yet to materialize.
Morford mentions that many Chinese foods are alien to the Western palate. It’s true that if it’s edible, or can be made so, that the Chinese will eat it–often with amazing results. But a trip through a Chinese market can be disturbing for someone raised in Western culture. Which is odd, because we share many of the same values, it’s simply that the Chinese are more open about them. Would you rather be in a culture of hypocrites or a culture of honesty?
To be frank, I’d rather be in a culture without homeless and unwanted animals, in a culture where meat is rarely eaten and when it is, it’s raised with respect and love. But until then, I have a hard time swallowing the outcry over the dog slaughter.
It is said that you can tell a lot about a culture from the way it treats its animals. I think that this is very true. Americans, for example, are sneaky and devious and like to sweep things under the carpet. We don’t like to face ugly realities, although we are happy to reap the benefits in the form of steaks, bacon, and all the other sundries of the abattoir. We’re also raging hypocrites–it gets back to the “would you, could you” debate. Why are some animals in American culture proscribed, while others are permitted? Why is it that we eat cows and not horses? Goat milk but not mare’s milk?
Our response to situations we don’t like, as Morford points out, is to push them away. If an epidemic of Foot and Mouth disease is discovered, farm animals die. An outbreak of “bird flu” results in the slaughter of millions of birds. It’s not just China that slaughters animals in response to epidemics, and as Morford says, it’s not just animals that we slaughter. Don’t like terrorists? Kill them. Have an issue with Rwandans? Look the other way while they are mass murdered. Don’t like the fact that people are living on the nice new land you discovered? Give them smallpox infested blankets.
No, it would appear to me that killing things is in human nature. Westerners may like to think of themselves are more highly advanced than Easterners, but when you dig a little more deeply below the surface, I suspect you will find that we are much the same.

Working with rakes, shovels and plastic bags, they are picking up globules of oil and tar balls in the sand.
It seems futile, as every wave washing up to the beach is carrying more tar balls and oil. You can see how calm and gentle the Sound was at the time I took these shots. Note all the black particles in suspension. With the well still flowing unchecked, and who knows how much oil already in the Gulf, how long will this keep washing in? Imagine how much would be coming ashore if the wind was really kicking up.
This is what this stuff looks like after it ends up on the sand. You can try to step around the globs and tar balls, but there is more of it under what appears to be clean patches. I ruined a pair of shoes and socks despite being careful not to step in any visible patches.
Where this stuff gets in the marsh, it kills the marsh grasses and every other living thing. Here you can see it is just beginning. This is in the Waveland area.
I found this oil-coated eel right at the edge of the tide line. Believe it or not, it was still alive, but just barely, slowly moving it's head back and forth as it suffocated to death. It is so black with oil I have no idea what species it is.
I took these photos and left feeling sick. I've been sea kayaking and sailing in these waters for over 25 years. I've written countless articles about the islands and estuaries here, and a boater's guidebook to the area published in 2004, Exploring Coastal Mississippi: A Guide to the Marine Waters and Islands. No words I can write here can convey how I feel about what has been lost. Will it ever be the same? I don't know. It all depends on getting that well shut down, and soon.
My gosh, those are terrible images - my condolences to you and others who really have a love affair with the Gulf Coast. I'm sort of in same position, our South Padre Island far to southwest of your location. I hope we never see the effects of BP spill, but something tells me I'm being naive.
We could hire the welfare to keep cleaning these shores over and over - their children will probably have work as well.
Ugh, this is too sad to see. I love the beach and looking at these images makes me almost physically ill. But they need to be seen so we know what is going on. Thanks for sharing.
One thing we know for sure... this spill will result in more subsidies for the oil companies. After all, shouldn't we pay them to despoil everything?

Esther Spencer. Dining Room Furniture. July 19th , 2018.
If you get the wood the same, then the maker is immaterial, and it is not uncommon for people to find a table with which they instantly fall in love, but don't like the chairs that come with it. In such cases, keep looking until you find chairs that you are happy with: it's worth taking your time when you are spending money on furniture for your dining room. You will live with it for a long time.
Dining rooms have evolved from the personal family space into entertainment rooms, which radiate style and elegance to guests. The choice of rustic dining room furniture is a mater of individual taste, not merely one of functional attributes. Rustic furniture exudes a certain natural and country charm that warms up the dining experience. With these simple pieces one can bring the log cabin or creek side vacation home milieu right into an urban home.

1) Split testing and the Taguchi Split Test method. Rumor has it that Bullock studied directly with Taguchi.
2) Conversion metrics and accountability.
3) Good business sense and strong business accument. (David Bullock is an excellent consultant for a business reality check).
David Bullock: This is Dave Bullock, davidbullock.com. I am interviewing Russell Wright from Themezoom today. We will be asking the tough questions, and hopefully get some good answers.
David: Russell, give me the corporate story on Themezoom. Where did it come from, really?
Russell: Well, actually, Themezoom was developed out of a lot of pain in the area of keyword research and SEO. What happened is that I was doing keyword research for a very large corporation. I was trying to take a lot of different bits of data and put it together to make the best choices for my clients based on which keywords to use. What was happening is I was getting a lot of difficult and unrelated data from a lot of different tools in the marketplace. I was trying to create a coherent picture of our model of what was happening in the market and I couldn’t do it by hand because I really wanted the big picture.
And, I was really confused about the difference between keyword research and market research. I used to think that they were the same thing. And I know you really know that that’s the case. But, the story is really interesting. So, what I did is I got an interview with Sue. Actually, I was talking to Sue Bell. And this was early on in our relationship.
I knew that she was a good programmer, but I didn’t know that she was a military industrial programmer with some heavy duty stuff that she had done. And so, when she was talking to me about all of the other keyword tools that are out there, and how they needed to be integrated, and how you needed to think bigger; not just about your keywords but about how it integrates with the web, and how, I mean, her mind just immediately went into this huge place of how to put it all together in some kind of uber program.
And at the time, I thought this was an impossible thing. As it turns out, a lot of other people had viewed that kind of level of integration as very impossible as well. So, they hadn’t even attempted to create a whole system to integrate the whole lifecycle of the keywords, that is, the whole educational buying cycle throughout the whole buying cycle of a. . .
Russell: Yeah, a transaction! And so, I was thinking in terms of, you know, just tell me, what are the best keywords to use on my website? And she was thinking in terms of how do you track, monitor and engage the entire conversation from beginning to end, and then build and dig into that conversation to get more value out of it and keep building your empire based on that.
David: We take it a little bit further. You look at the website as an environment, and you actually drop the keyword or the visitor who is in a conversation into an environment. And now, you have them there. The key is to get them in the proper conversation first, then take them into the environment that will cause them to transact. Then they transact, and you move them forward. Now, whether they are looking for new information or they are looking to purchase, those are two separate ends of the spectrum from my perspective of things. You are actually looking for what they call the money keywords. Talk to me about the money keywords. What is that all about?
Russell: Show me the money. I mean, basically what happened is, for us, we have nine species of keywords, the most important one being the money keyword. The money keyword is any keyword idea that had directly led to a trackable or measurable sale. Once you have a measurable sale, you can extrapolate data from the market based on that keyword much more accurately than when you are just guessing. A lot of people out there are building websites based on estimated data, guesswork, keywords that they think might work from various data sources.
But the reality is, you can integrate all of the different keywords at the various phases in what I call the lifecycle of the keyword to determine where that word or idea is within the buying cycle. So the money keyword is, if it’s converted, you can track, it’s measurable, you can tell that it’s given direct results that ended up in a transaction or sale.
David: I know that the Themezoom tool takes into account more than just traffic. A lot of the keyword tools that are out there talk about just traffic. How many people search for this term? I know that this Themezoom tool does more because it looks at actually the market potential, the cost, traffic, number of clicks, number of searches. Talk to me about that. What makes the Themezoom tool different as far as integrating all the real data required to actually make a real, valid decision?
Russell: Well, that’s important. We take into account data from pay per click search engines. And so we have a good idea of the value of a keyword overall because in the pay per click environment, you know if someone has paid a certain amount of money, it’s either converted or not, or it’s had clicks or not. That’s one stream of data which you should consider. But then there’s also the natural search engines. The natural search engines are a different kind of environment. In fact, I’ve talked before with associates like Jerry West and the rest where we believe in some ways, in some markets, it is a completely different market segment of people using pay per click versus natural search engines. So we also take into account the number of queries on Google on a monthly and yearly basis for the natural keywords.
The idea is to bring all of those together in a perpetual cycle of integration so that you can make choices, much better choices than anyone who is not considering both paid dollar amounts and natural organic listings. We take those together, and we have a proprietary technology that takes into account something called co occurrence.
Co occurrence allows you to take a look at the natural engines around major markets and not just focus on a single keyword and its rankings, which is great but it’s not the whole story, but focus on swallowing the entire market whole, based on a global view, a top down view of all the keywords and the associative co occurrences.
And, co occurrences are how a major idea relates to all of the baby ideas, or the children ideas, within that idea. What you can see, with children, are the most important related to the top idea. You can go to your client with how much money is in that market, how much traffic is in that market, how many general queries are in that market. Your competitor has no hope of keeping up with you.
Russell: They really don’t, because you’re looking at a global view, rather than just a piecemeal view of the market. So, we provide that market thumbprint, or that market map, of global, vertical online research. Does that make sense?
David: That makes good sense. It’s not too much to think of what comes to mind there is, that sounds like many years worth of data. You’re not just looking for searches, you’re not just looking for traffic, you’re not just looking for pay per click. You’re looking at it all together. And, you’re making correlations between one channel of data versus another, versus another, versus another, versus another. This sounds like a massive amount of data that then needs to be massaged to become meaningful. It’s not just data becomes information that you can then act upon.
So, if I’m hearing this right, this is a very significant endeavor and quite an accomplishment, a technical accomplishment, because I’m not seeing this anywhere else. This is not a typical keyword research tool.
Russell: No, no you can’t find this kind of technology anywhere in the world. And, when you get close to it, you’re dealing with major archival systems like the Library of Congress and these other kinds of things. But, not only that, those systems aren’t wired for marketing. They’re not wired to give you a value of the market, to help you put a dollar amount on the words, whereas our system is. And, this is not, it used to take, like when Sue and I were compiling a site based on this kind of data by hand, it could take you up to a week or two just to get to the basic keyword structure of the whole relationship.
Cracking some of the drilldowns and cracking for major markets in about an hour. We can cover thousands of keywords within a market, and tell you exactly what place they belong in, what their place is in the hierarchy of your site, as well as in the hierarchy of your vertical.
David: So, done the right way, if someone were to partake of your tool, you can get a market map. You can see the market, how it’s moving, where it’s been and how it could possibly evolve.
Russell: That’s correct. If you know what you’re doing, you can look at, in fact, you can extract every last drop, every keyword within an entire vertical that has any dollar bill tied to it, and the ones that do not. The keywords that do not have money tied to them, that are not useful in a pay per click environment, are called educational keywords. We still provide the queries on Google for those. If you take an extrapolation, you can see what is happening in the market. You can prioritize a list of words that are high dollar, and take a look at all the data. And the ones that are maybe less on your priority list you can put towards the back to add page or content later on.
In fact, we originally designed Themezoom 3.0 to be a content selection prioritization system. So when we integrated that into this, that’s all very easily approachable now. So you can very methodically own your market over time.
You don’t have to take Heaven by storm. You can gradually create a schedule over a month or a year to drip keywords and specific associated relationships in articles in their appropriate frame. Or, you can take Heaven by storm if you have the budget, and own an entire vertical very clearly.
David: So, it sounds like, done the right way, this is the ultimate marketing intelligence tool, business intelligence tool, as well as just being able to really see what is happening in your market from a profitability standpoint and not just a traffic standpoint. Is that a true statement?
Russell: Yeah, very much so. In fact we are moving away from having a myopic view of the web from an Internet marketing perspective, or even from an SEO perspective. We have to, as we move more and more to multi channel marketing, and as the digitization of physical space, that is as offline products and services begin to be tracked on the web, and all kinds of things like that, people need to be aware of their whole vertical market s and think much bigger than just owning a little piece or whether they’re ranking for a page or not. Rankings will become secondary to sales and conversion and business models over the next two to three years in the symantec web.
David: Sounds good. Well, thank you for that overview on Themezoom and what it does and how it works. We’ll talk again soon.

SEATING - Students sit three or four to a table, by grade level or section level (i.e. 4th & 5th grades combined). Students sit toward one side with the proctor (sitting or standing) on the opposite side.
NUMBER OF ROUNDS PLAYED - Tournaments consist of four rounds, each lasting 10 to 20 minutes. Points won by each student in Rounds 1 and 2 are added to determine who advances to the Semi-final Round 3. Semi-final Round 3 and Final Round 4 are face-off rounds; the highest scoring student at each table advances. Students may be given a break between rounds. If the players at a table finish early, they should wait for the round to end, so as to not disturb other students.
PUTTING CARDS INTO PLAY - A proctor puts a card into play by “cupping” the card in the palm of one hand. The proctor places the cupped card into the center of the table and then withdraws the hand to reveal the numbers.
STUDENTS' HAND POSITION - Student fingertips should be placed on blue area of Tournament Mat - where the cards are put into play. If a special Tournament Mat is used, students must keep their hands on the blue area only.
MAKING A DECLARATION - Student declares by touching anywhere on the card, but with no more than three fingertips. The first student to touch the card is allowed to give the solution. If the answer is correct, the student takes the card and places it in front of him.
GIVING THE SOLUTION - Proctor determines first student to touch the card. That student must announce the pattern (last step of the solution to make 24; i.e. “3 times 8” or “15 plus 9”) within 3 seconds of touching the card. The complete solution (all three steps) must then be completed within 15 seconds. A student cannot change the pattern that he states within the first 3 seconds, and must complete his solution using this same pattern. A student may correct himself and change the first and second steps of his solution until he “fixes” the solution by saying “equals, makes or is 24”.
PENALTY FLAGS - If a student cannot give the solution or gives an incorrect solution, he/she receives a penalty flag (use Post-it® brand notes or tokens). Students who receive three penalties in a round, during rounds 1 and 2, are disqualified from further play during that round. Students are limited to two penalty flags in Rounds 3 and 4. Disqualified students keep points scored up to the point of disqualification. Penalty flags do not follow a player. All players start with a clean slate at the beginning of each round. When a student gets a penalty flag, the card is taken out of play and returned to the deck to be played again later.
1) Student does not announce a pattern within three seconds.
2) Student does not complete solution within 15 seconds.
3) Solution given is incorrect.
4) Student touches card with more than 3 fingertips.
5) Student touches proctor's hand before it is withdrawn.
STUMPED CARDS - If all students at the table agree that they are stumped, or if no student makes an attempt to answer a card after 15 seconds, the proctor removes that card for later play.
ROUND 1 - Play for 48 cards. Take the first half of a 96-card deck and arrange the cards so that all the red sides (color of center square on the cards) are facing up. (The first half of the deck will give you 12 one point, 24 two point and 12 three point cards.) Shuffle the cards and you are ready to begin. Make sure that all tables are using the same cards. All students play Round 1.
ROUND 2 - Flip the above 48 cards over and play the white side. Students change tables to get a chance to play with different players in their own grade or section level. All students play Round 2.
SCORING - Proctors tally points at the end of each round. Remember to count points and not just the number of cards, as a card may be worth three points (look for the number of dots in the card's corner to determine the point value). 1 Dot cards are worth one point, 2 Dot cards are worth two points and 3 Dot cards are worth three points. Proctors enter each student's score on his/her scorecard. Scores from Rounds 1 & 2 will be added together. The sixteen highest scores from each grade level advance to the Semi-final Round 3. Semi-finalists are seated four to a table.
SEMI-FINAL ROUND 3 - Play for another 48 cards (ex-second half of the 96 card deck), red side. This third round is a “face-off” round. Only the points earned in this round are used to determine the winners, the scores from the previous rounds are disregarded. The highest scoring student at each semi-final table advances to the Final Round 4 to determine the grade/section level champions.
FINAL ROUND 4 - Flip over the above 48 cards and play the white side. The highest-scoring student in this final round is the overall grade or section level champion. As in Round 3, all previous scores are disregarded.
MISCELLANEOUS - In the case of a tie, tied players play a five-minute round. In case of a protest, it is up to the proctor at each table to settle the protest. To encourage mental math, we suggest that pencil and paper not be used by students during play.
ROUND 1 may be played with 48 Single Digits cards.
ROUND 2 may be played with 48 Double Digits cards.
SEMI-FINAL ROUND 3 and FINAL ROUND 4 may be played with a combination of Single Digits, Double Digits and Variables cards.

Brilliance can get you only so far. Just ask Apple’s ousted senior VP of iOS Scott Forstall, or Microsoft’s former President of Windows and Windows Live Steven Sinofsky. Both reportedly clashed with other executives and employees, which factored into their departures.
For rock star engineers on a management track, or talented IT managers, there are lessons to be learned here, especially for people who are aggressive to the point of being difficult. George Hallenbeck, Vice President of Intellectual Property Development at the Korn/Ferry Institute, outlined for me his seven savings graces for such folks to adopt before it’s too late.
To accomplish meaningful change, you need to take three steps before moving onto the 7 Saving Graces.
For example, rock stars, managers or not, who can listen effectively to their peers, reports and bosses may yield more productive results and brownie points than those who lead with their ideas.
Another thing that can alienate others is a lack of approachability. There’s a substantial difference between inviting information versus being the one who always asks questions and digs hard for answers. You don’t want to cross the line into interrogation.
It will also create a culture where the emphasis is on accountability and problem solving, rather than avoidance or finger pointing to avoid the wrath of a difficult team leader or director.
Companies that operate with difficult rock stars or brilliant leaders are often in a quandary. They’re addicted to the solutions and ideas that these people put on the table, but they know addiction is a bad thing.
“You want to keep their strengths intact, but provide skills that can act as a buffer and smooth over some of the rough edges of their style,” Hallenbeck says. “They may find they can get more accomplished by changing some of their behavior.

Sear both sides of the frozen pork chops.
While searing, dissolve the bouillon in the hot water, and add the mustard. Stir well. Cut off the ends, and peel the onions, then cut in half crosswise to make 4 thick slices. Place the onions on the bottom of the crockette in a single layer.
When chops are seared, place them on top of the onions. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper to taste, and slowly add the liquid over all.
Cook for about 4 1/2 hours.

Though it's expected some time in the spring, rumors for the OnePlus 7 phone have already begun circulating. As the purported upcoming flagship of Chinese phone-maker OnePlus, the device will serve as the successor to the OnePlus 6T and is predicted to be the first of two marquee phones anticipated to launch this year from OnePlus. Since 2014, when the company launched its first OnePlus One, OnePlus has garnered a reputation for making phones with premium specs at a wallet-friendly price. But its strategy (and success) of serving up similar features that iPhones and Galaxy S devices offer while keeping prices low is getting harder every year. Compared to other brands, OnePlus has one of the highest increases in cost from model to model.
Watch this: OnePlus to tease its 5G phone, new Hololens?
As such, it'll be interesting to see what its next marquee handset has in store and how much it will cost. OnePlus usually launches its first phone in the spring, followed up by an incrementally updated phone known as the "T version" in the fall. It will also release a 5G phone, separate from its flagship line, sometime in May.
Until the OnePlus 7 officially launches, though, read on to see what has been confirmed and what rumors have been speculated so far. We'll update this piece as more rumors arise.
Update, April 11: Added news of apparent leaked images of OnePlus 7 Pro.

Axiel RDA? If so, how does it compare to the Goon on flavor. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, supplier and price?
I don’t know yet. Lol. I’m going to build them tomorrow. Today was mix day and tomorrow morning will be cleaning and building. I am extremely hopeful.
Some purty goodies arrived yesterday.
Beautiful how are the new bottles ???
i dunno yet. It was kind of weird the child seal ring was not attached on the two I got but the bottles felt sealed. Sure it’s fine though. Plastic feels like a quality type. Definitely not a cheap plastic.
I like the way the dripper works on those bottles very precise.
Got one of these for checking out.
SMALL and HANDY like a POD but all Sub Ohm vaping.
Nothing is adjustable… 0.25 ohm coils and 50 watts but nice and small and delivers a better vape than any pod.
The MTERK V2 arrived today Can’t wait to get this going.
No single coil option fyi. (found out after I dropped one of the coils and ran it over with my desk chair ) So will build some more coils tomorrow and get it running correctly. I will say, depending on the style/type of coil you are using, I noticed that the outer leads can slip out when tweaking and pulling to get to the correct positions. The locking blocks have no knurling or texture on the coil side and neither does the base of the post. I tried some twisted coils first and it started to happen no matter how much I tightened the screws. There was no “bite”. Having a single screw for each post makes installation a breeze though. I put in the staggered claptons and they bit…then I trampled the other coil. The rda comes with both 24 and 25mm caps.
What’s your % rate with flv peppermint?
My contest contents have arrived! Thanks again to @SmokyBlue and @Flavorah. Can’t wait to get working with these. Especially intrigued by the Connecticut Shade.
should take you to a few good points for mixing… have fun!

Of all the seasons, people seem to like winter the least. They complain about the cold and biting wind, the snow and ice, and the fact that the sun only rears its face for a tad over nine hours each day.
In New York, our winters aren’t terrible. Sure, there are usually a few days when the thermometer drops into the single digits and people yearn for the opportunity to eat dinner at 4:30 with the snowbirds in Florida. But, for the most part, we hover around the 40 degree mark, which in fashion terms means you can choose outerwear that delivers in both the form and function categories.
I have to admit that unless I’m going to be outside for an extended period of time (e.g. shoveling snow or waiting for the dog to do what he does best), I typically don’t wear a coat in the winter. I do this because of three things: A) I feel confined while driving with a coat; B) I overheat easily when I wear a coat indoors; and C) I don’t want to carry around my coat around when trying to avoid reason B.
Regardless, I do appreciate (albeit, from a distance) the styles that some winter coats bring—and some great designer glasses that can complement these looks.
Shearling Coats are popular this year, especially the styles that are reminiscent of WWII fighter pilots. While many would automatically pair a shearling with trendy eyeglasses like aviators, I prefer the less-obvious navigator frame. Navigators are similar to aviators, but are squared off on the bottom. Ray-Ban’s “Caravan” is a great choice.
Another look that harkens back to the military is the timeless Peacoat. For more than 100 years these 100% wool coats have been keeping sailors warm in the waters of the North Atlantic. You can dress them up or down, as they look great with a pair of jeans or a suit (and of course, with designer eyeglass frames). Persol’s PO0649 eyeglasses in either tortoise (Fuoco e Ardesia) or clear brown acetate (Resina e Sale) would be a great match for a peacoat, as would Lacoste’s L2776 in black.
When I do wear a coat for shoveling or outdoor work, I generally don’t care how I look—I just want to be warm. For me, this can mean wearing one of those “3-in-1” layered jackets from LL Bean or Columbia, a puffer coat, or even a lined flannel shirt jacket. It’s those times when I appreciate wearing acetate fashion glasses, because they won’t freeze my head like metal frames would.
LaFont’s RUSH 3054 is a lightweight acetate frame that comes in wintery colors like two tone navy/light blue. Nike’s 4258 is another great frame that will suit you well outdoors, as it features rubberized temples that won’t chill the sizes of your (or shatter when one of your kids pummels you with a snowball).
A great option for any frame you choose for the winter (and the other seasons, for that matter) is photochromic lenses. These are the lenses that change from light to dark when you go out into the sun (and back again when you’re indoors). All of the designer eyewear mentioned here would look great as regular optical glasses, and as suns.
Cohen’s Fashion Optical can fit just about any fashion eyeglasses with these lenses, saving you from the blinding effects of the bright, white snow—and from looking unprepared to take on the wilds of a Northeast shopping mall.

Venice with its canals, bridges, architecture, lagoon and lanes, can be explored and admired totally free. Venice was once a strong mercantile power of Europe, a staging area for the crusades and has since been immortalised countless times in canvas, text and celluloid. Its rich history is evident as the visitor views amazing centuries-old attractions. One of the most exciting things that you can do in Venice is to walk around and get lost in many alleys, streets and squares of the city. It is a little miracle just waiting to be experienced.
One of the most romantic cities in the world - Venice - cannot be imagined without the gondola. It is a long wooden boat used as a transportation mean in the canals of a city. Today gondolas are used in the field of tourism. It is a top attraction of the city. Who can imagine the trip to Venice without a classic ride along the canals? The city reveals its beauty when you are on the board: you can observe Rialto Bridge (oldest and most famous bridge in Venice), Palazzo Ducale (amazing Gothic architecture), let alone a wide variety of magical Renaissance buildings. Check them out!
Would like to discover the development of other nations in Venice? Visit the Jewish Ghetto. In 1516, the Doge forced Venice's Jewish population into the old cannon-foundry area (ghetto is the Venetian word for foundry), creating the first Jewish ghetto in Europe. At its height, the ghetto housed 5000 people in buildings up to seven stories high, making them among the tallest tenements in Europe at the time. Visit the oldest synagogue, or schola, the Schola Grande Tedesca (German Synagogue) which shares a building with the Museo Ebraico di Venezia (Hebrew Museum of Venezia).
The Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice. It is the most famous of the city's churches and one of the best known examples of Byzantine character and great mosaics. Often seen as the living testimony of Venice's links with Byzantium, St Mark's basilica is also considered to be an expression of the city's independence. The Basilica of San Marco overlooks one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Take a look at the life which is taking place all around!
The Rialto Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs are probably the two most famous bridges in Venice, but there are beautiful bridges everywhere. Try to count all of them! If you start walking around in Venice and start crossing over bridges, be aware that it is very easy to get lost. Discover Venice at your own pace and take some time to enjoy!

I decided to get the bulk of mine done early this year, picking up things little by little. I started last month and have two recipients crossed off my mental list so far. How about you?
Usually late November or early December, if I have some spare money, or I figure something out later either just days before Xmas or after Xmas.
Ditto, late November and early December. I try to get lists from all of my kids/grand kids. My wife used to do this and I struggled to continue it last December. I guess I'll try again this December.
I buy things through out the year. Plus I do canning most of the summer and make jams and salsa.
The day after Christmas. I’m watching all year round for gifts for the next Christmas.
I tend to actually start buying stuff in November. I do most of my Christmas shopping online, so as long as I don't wait until the last 2 weeks, it doesn't really matter much.
I do kinda make mental note of ideas throughout the year. The problem is that my family tends to lean more towards the fun but practical when it comes to gifts, and if I come up with a good idea and buy it in say July, there is a non-trivial chance its intended recipient might end up buying it themselves before Christmas. There is generally an unspoken rule in my family that you arn't allowed to buy yourself any new "toys" in the November / December time frame unless you're damn sure it's not someones gift idea for you.
New years. It's like the candy offerings November 1st till they run out. Best prices on electronics once they can't guilt us to buy big ticket hurry scurry and get that Ipod under the tree.
Never, X-mas is a holiday I do not celebrate.
walmart has (and probably most outlets) Halloween Cards.... ??????... There used to be a saying that Valentines Day and Mothers Day were invented to sell cards and flowers (Valentines' is in the middle of winter so you know you'll get a good deal on fresh roses.) BUT ... Mothers Day was a peace movement started in Europe in the Crimean War and spread to the American widows and orphans from our "civil" war. Their motto was "I'll not raise my son just to kill some other womans son"
Christmas wasn't celebrated by the Pilgrims nor the Puritans. That was one reason they got run out of England. And their obnoxious views of other English groups. Nobody's perfect and I ain't taking sides.
I pick up stuff all the time and stuff it into a closet until it's time. The trouble with doing so for little kids is their ever-changing interests. One day they love this show, then the next day they come home and love a completely different one.
So I try and keep away from the 'fad' interests and get at the root of what they really like. Most kids have an interest that is independent of any franchise. My great-niece is into 'barbies' so we've been picking up those cheaper Sparkle Girl dolls that Walmart has. Because she's only four and I don't quite trust her with a more expensive doll.
She really wants Bryer horses and I veto the hell out of that. She'll just end up breaking them or something. Maybe in a couple of years when I can trust that she'll take care of them.

Health is an essential component of human society, which is inseparable from the ultimate goal of human development. There exists an intricate relationship between man and his environment that forms the socio-ecological approach to health. Every nation, regions and community in this world striving to strike a balance in their natural environment should encourage health promotion.
The cardinal focus of Health promotion is to establish equity in health. The main goal of Health promotion is minimizing the disparity in current health status and ensuring commensurate opportunities and resources to all people so that they can attain their fullest health potential.
What is actually Health promotion?
What are the basic principles of health promotion?
In order to confirm the health promotion there are certain elementary principles to adopt: Prerequisites for health – The primary resources and condition for health are shelter, food, education, income, a stable ecosystem, sustainable resources, peace, social justice and equity. A strong foundation in these prerequisites will bring improvement in health. Advocate – An important dimension of good health is social, economic and personal development. The various factors social, cultural, economic, political, environmental, behavioral and biological favor health or can be harmful. Health promotion can be filliped by advocacy for health.
Mediate – The health sector alone cannot provide the basic prerequisites and scope for health promotion. Health promotion is only possible if there is a coordinated effort from all quarters - governments, health, nongovernmental, voluntary organizations, by local authorities, by industry and by the media, and other social and economic sectors.
Enable – Unless the people take control of those things that determine their health, they would not be able to achieve full health potential. This is equally applicable to both men and women.
Health promotion needs a comprehensive policy for implementation, which would merge different yet complementary approaches especially in legislation, fiscal measures, taxation and organizational change. Only a well-coordinated effort can assure greater equity in health. This joint action can lay the foundation for safer healthier public services as well as cleaner, more pleasurable environment.
For health promotion it is vital to identify the impediments obstructing the adoption of healthy public policies in non-health sectors, and chalk out plans to annihilate them. The policy-makers should plan to aim for a healthier society and better life.

Drunken pilots keeping a tally of the pterodactyls they're shooting out of the sky, scantily clad cave women, WW1 submarine soldiers, and Peter Cushing's gargantuan drill.
El and Jack talk about moons that are eggs, etc.
Lee and James have reached the final Amicus horror, but not the final Amicus film. With this AIP joint, boasting the inimitable talents of Vincent Price in his pomp, they reflect on a flawed but worthwhile picture.
Commentary for Episode 2 of 'The Rescue'.
For your convenience, we will be re-upping all the old commentaries here. We're doing it one per month, so this month here's the commentaries Elizabeth and Jack recorded for 'The Rescue', the Hartnell adventure which introduced Vicki.
Phil and Jack finally do their Pandorica Opens Commentary.
The Shabcast returns and I'm rejoined by Phil to chat about the next TARDIS Eruditorum book, the 7th Doctor era, the Wilderness Years, the Virgin New Adventures, etc.
Yeah! Lee & James cover the last true Amicus anthology. What will they think of it?
Your awesome hosts are as punctual as ever - blame James - as they talk the ultimate Capaldi series, some Christmas goodwill, and the Pertwee serial Inferno, wrapping up their first ever discussion of a full season of Classic Who!

Being active is a lifestyle choice. Many of us wish to work out regularly and stay fit. But working out requires a lot of effort and WORK.
But let’s get real! Scrolling through our Instagram feed all we wish is to have “HOT BODs” like those IG models and celebrities. So every now and then we motivate ourselves to hit the gym!
But the journey of getting up from the couch, changing into your workout attire and finally, entering the gym is a battle not even Hitler could propel us to win.
However, every New Year, just like you, I take a resolution to work out and stay fit. So, even this year, I went and applied for that gym membership. But we all know, that’s only half the battle won.
Motivating yourself and going to the gym is a task in itself. And it’s even more difficult when your brain is doing its own workouts with a bazillion thoughts running through them.
If you’re someone who’s not a big fan of exercising, you know how I feel.
So, here’s how I start my day when it’s time to BURN THAT FAT!
Do you have to prepare yourself before you hit the gym? Well, me too.
“Does shopping count as cardio?
Why does time go by so slowly when doing cardio?
Yes, cardio is necessary and helps you lose weight, but it’s JUST NOT FUN!
Has this happened to you? Well, I hope not.
Is it only me or do you also not know how to use half of the equipment in the gym?
Also, a little revelation, I refuse to ask for help. Yes!
I try to act cool and keep hoping that no one is watching me and making funny workout videos of me.
If you’re anything like me, you start thinking about your cheat meals on the first day of exercising. Any little achievement and you want to treat yourself.
Came to the gym 3 days in a row? CHEAT DAY!
Did 100 crunches? CHEAT DAY!
Lost one pound? CHEAT DAY!
Don’t you wish you had a booty like the Kardashians? I do!
But not all of us are blessed with a body like that. Well, they aren’t too. We certainly can’t spend like them on plastic surgeries but we can positively afford that gym membership this year. Can’t we?
Moreover, working out is not THAT bad. Once you hit the gym, you definitely feel like burning all those extra calories was worth every squat.
Don’t you feel proud for making it till the end of a tough workout?
You can’t deny, the post-workout feeling is amazing.
The only problem? Gathering your stuff and limping your way back to the car, especially after a leg day! Oh, I feel you.
If you go to the gym and don’t Snapchat about it, did you even go to the gym?
It doesn’t matter if you went only for a day, doesn’t matter if you exercised for 20 minutes only, the world must know that you went to the gym. Right?
Why do people do this to themselves? Workouts are a nightmare!
But I promised my gym and the trainer that I will be back again. Tomorrow.
Yes fine, the next year!
Staying fit and fabulous is a constant struggle for all of us. And I totally get that!
If you are serious about losing those extra pounds, you need to consume tasty healthy dishes, include dietary supplements in your everyday routine and practice yoga to experience peaceful bliss.
Yes, it’s a challenging task to attend the gym regularly but wouldn’t you love to flaunt your fit body and be physically fit? Let’s take the challenge head on then!
Do comment below to let me know that I’m not the only one who has these weird thoughts while working out.

In addition, the incredibly fast spreading disease, Xylella fastidiosa, I attacking olives, grapevines, citrus, almond, oak trees and more, across the region. According to the European Commission, "is one of the most dangerous plant bacteria worldwide, causing a variety of diseases, with huge economic impact for agriculture, public gardens and the environment."
But you can't fight it is you can't see it. There has been a recent tech development which is giving some hope to farmers. A hyperspectral camera is being used to identify infected tress so they may be culled. The camera is flown 500m over the groves and each tree can be analyzed (250 bands of infrared light) to see how the trees are photosynthesizing. Because there is no cure for this disease, it is vital that farmers be able to identify infected trees in order to cull them from the orchard.
Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterium, not a virus, and some farmers in Puglia are not happy with the practice of uprooting otherwise healthy trees to curb the spread of the infection. Some of the older farmers are looking to natural remedies such as fertilizing with cow manure, pruning and using copper and iron sulfates during the farming process.
So folks, as you eat that tomato with the drizzle of oil, just remember the challenges that the farmers face to bring it to your table. Don't take any of it for granted. That means, the oil, the tomato, the salt or the dining companion you might be sharing it with. Enjoy all of it. Give thanks and eat with awareness and recognition because these are changing times.

Looking for disruptive dining? Just go to some dinner theater. No, that's not a cheeky suggestion, it's truly a thing. New productions such as Beauty and the Feast, put on by The Vaults, are offering a fun on three-course delightfully eccentric theatrical culinary performance where the audience participates in the Beauty's journey through the initially bleak foodscape. These are much more than your ol' murder mystery dinner productions!

I guess that the tag line of "favorite finds from the front lines of food" could be a bit misleading. Sometimes there are important finds that are not really "favorite" finds. This is one of those cases - it's time we discuss the state of kids here in the USA going hungry.

OK Go has collaborated with plenty of brands—including Chevrolet, Google, Samsung and State Farm—on its own music videos. But here is the first truly traditional commercial the band has ever filmed. Though of course, this being OK Go, it's far from typical.
The ad, which the band worked on in China for much of February, is for the Chinese furniture store Red Star Macalline. Full of optical illusions, it visually references OK Go's 2014 video "The Writing's on the Wall" (which the band later accused Apple of ripping off) but is set to another OK Go track, "I Won't Let You Down" (a remixed version by drummer Dan Konopka).

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jan. 30, 2019 – After 37 years of technical leadership and service to The Aerospace Corporation and its customers, Dr. Sherrie Zacharius, vice president of Technology and Laboratory Operations, will retire on March 29, 2019.
“Throughout her career, Sherrie has contributed to the success of space and launch systems through scientific research and the application of advanced technology,” said Aerospace President and CEO Steve Isakowitz.

Showing results by narrator "Nigel Davenport"
Tom Jones is widely regarded as one of the first and most influential English novels. It is certainly the funniest. Tom Jones, the hero of the book, is introduced to the reader as the ward of a liberal Somerset squire. Tom is a generous but slightly wild and feckless country boy with a weakness for young women. Misfortune, followed by many spirited adventures as he travels to London to seek his fortune, teach him a sort of wisdom to go with his essential good-heartedness.
Tom is thrown out of his foster father's house for "crimes" that he didn't commit, and proceeds to have numerous bawdy adventures and fights, eventually finding that only his true love can save him from a life that could possibly end at the gallows.
Westminster Abbey has seen much during its long, rich history: the coronations of Kings and Queens, the burials of Prime Ministers. However, it is also a church that remembers the men and women of the arts. Dedicated writers and poets who spoke so eloquently that the nation wished to remember them with plaques upon its walls so that all who travelled here could remember, too. Their works are worth remembering, and here, in these volumes, their wise words speak, too, and for us all. In volume 3 we collect together Edward Lear to William Wordsworth.

• Key point 6-03.2. Most courts have viewed requests by church members for an "accounting" of church funds to be an internal church matter over which the civil courts have no jurisdiction.
• Key point 6-07.03. Church board members have a fiduciary duty to use reasonable care in the discharge of their duties, and they may be personally liable for damages resulting from their failure to do so.
• Key point 6-07.10. Church board members may be personally liable, under state nonprofit corporation law, for loans they authorize for any officer or director of the church.
• Key point 9-07. The first amendment allows civil courts to resolve internal church disputes so long as they can do so without interpreting doctrine or polity.
A District of Columbia appeals court ruled that it was prohibited by the first amendment from resolving a lawsuit brought by members of a church claiming that the board of trustees breached its fiduciary duties by authorizing an interest-free loan to the pastor and by failing to provide the congregation with adequate information regarding the church's finances. In 1993, a church selected a new pastor. A few months later the official board of the church, consisting of the pastor, deacons, and trustees, agreed to lend the pastor money toward his purchase of a $325,000 home at an interest rate of six percent. The pastor did not take part in the vote. At a "special called" meeting of the church membership, the board recommended approval of the loan. One church member suggested that the loan be interest-free, commenting that "the church should not profit from this loan to the pastor." The membership approved a no-interest loan at the meeting and eventually loaned the pastor some $256,000 for the purchase, which took place in 1994. In 1996, the pastor signed an agreement to repay the loan, and the purchase money mortgage held by the church was recorded. In December of 1996, certain church members wrote a letter to the pastor requesting disclosure of certain financial information to the membership within fourteen days. Specifically, they requested "all the facts and documents surrounding the church's role in helping the pastor purchase a home," along with any audit reports for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996. They also asked for records of the "special called" meeting at which the loan to the pastor had been approved, and the church's records of past filings with the Internal Revenue Service. They apparently had learned of an audit and management report prepared by an outside CPA and submitted to the trustee board in 1993, which warned that loans made by the church to "members and sons of the church" would endanger its tax-exempt status. The members also alleged that the congregation was asked to approve a $50,000 expenditure for a new car for the pastor in 1996 "without knowing how much money the church actually had on hand or what its financial budget was."
