Medical Genetics at the University of Washington is a tertiary specialty that provides clinical services to the general
public as well as training. The clinics, housed at UW Medical Center, Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH) and Regional Medical Center
(CHRMC), and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), are a unique resource in the WWAMI region for evaluation and
diagnosis of people who have or are at risk for genetic diseases, and for long-term planning of follow-up and treatment
in collaboration with their physicians. UW physicians, medical geneticists, and board-certified genetic counselors in the
clinics work with individuals and their families to inform, diagnose, counsel, and refer for appropriate management. Many
of these physicians are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their fields and often included among the
"Best Doctors in America" compilations.
Please contact the clinics for information and appointments.
About 800 patients are seen each year at the CHRMC genetics program. The general genetics clinic is held weekly at CHRMC, and as inpatient consultations. The physicians (medical geneticists) and genetic counselors who staff the clinic have a wide range of expertise and provide specific diagnoses and recommendations for care and follow-up of hundreds of rare genetic disorders as well as the more common ones; a wide variety of patients and diagnoses is the rule. At this time the emphasis of the clinic is primarily diagnostic, but longitudinal care and follow-up issues are increasingly being addressed. The clinic at CHRMC specializes in children and genetic disorders that present primarily at birth or in childhood. However, as a regional service the clinic also regularly evaluates adults with genetic disorders and, when appropriate, evaluates adults at CHRMC, where it is the only service permitted to review adults. Additionally, physicians regularly consult for referred prenatal diagnosis cases from Swedish Medical Center and UWMC.
Aside from the general genetics clinic, multidisciplinary genetics clinics are held regularly, including cardiovascular genetics (cardiologist Mark Lewin), biochemical genetics (Michael Raff), neurofibromatosis, skeletal dysplasia (orthopedics, Greg Schmale), craniofacial genetics, limb deficiency clinic, gender assessment team, and neurogenetics at the Center on Human Development and Disability (CHDD). Consultation and input to the Communication Center (hearing disorders) and Muscular Dystrophy Clinic are also provided on a regular basis. Weekly consultation services are also provided to Swedish Medical Center for both prenatal diagnosis and neonatal referrals.
A large portion of this program's effort is devoted to delivering genetic services outside CHRMC. This includes 60 outreach clinics per year performed at different sites within Washington state (Wenatchee, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Bellingham, Yakima, Spokane) and 50 clinics per year in Alaska.

|Work And Families Bill - continued||House of Commons|
|back to previous text|
Clause 15: Repeals
70. Clause 15 gives effect to the repeals set out in Schedule 2.
Clause 17: Corresponding provision for Northern Ireland
71. Clause 17 provides that an Order in Council made for Northern Ireland under paragraph 1(1) of the Schedule to the Northern Ireland Act 2000, which states that it is made only for purposes corresponding to those contained in the Bill, is not to be subject to the affirmative procedure of Parliamentary scrutiny, but is instead to be subject to the negative procedure. This will make it easier for changes to Northern Ireland legislation to be timed to coincide with the changes to legislation for Great Britain.
Clause 18: Financial provisions
72. This clause provides for increased expenditure attributable to the provisions of the Bill to be paid out of money provided by Parliament.
COMMENTARY ON SCHEDULES
Schedule 1 - Leave and pay related to birth or adoption: further amendments
73. Many of the paragraphs of Schedule 1 make amendments to other legislation to rename "paternity leave" as "ordinary paternity leave" and "statutory paternity pay" as "ordinary statutory paternity pay". This is to avoid any potential confusion over terminology once employees become entitled to additional statutory paternity pay and additional paternity leave. Other paragraphs make amendments to ensure that, where appropriate, statutory provisions which currently apply in relation to paternity leave or statutory paternity pay will also apply in relation to additional paternity leave or additional statutory paternity pay. In general these Notes do not deal further with those amendments.
74. Schedule 1 also contains a number of amendments intended to make changes to maternity allowance, statutory maternity Pay, statutory adoption pay and statutory paternity pay to ease administration for employers and to assist the returning employee's reintegration into the workforce.
75. Paragraph 1 amends paragraph 5A of Schedule 5 to the Social Security Act 1989 which makes provision about unfair paternity leave provisions in employment-related schemes for pensions and other benefits. The amendments ensure that references in paragraph 5A to a period of paid paternity leave include references to a period during which a person is being paid additional statutory paternity pay.
76. Paragraph 5 will add additional statutory paternity pay to the list of statutory payments set out in section 4C(11) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. Section 4C is inserted into that Act by the current National Insurance Contributions Bill to allow regulations to be made to take account of regulations made under section 4B (of the 1992 Act) altering earnings which are subject to National Insurance Contributions liability for a past period.
77. Paragraph 6 amends section 35(3)(a) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (SSCBA 1992).
78. Currently a woman loses maternity allowance for any day on which she works as an employed or self-employed earner. There is no discretion and any work will result in the loss of maternity allowance for the appropriate day. The amendment made by paragraph 6 will allow regulations to be made to prescribe cases in which a woman is not disqualified from receiving maternity allowance when she works in the maternity allowance period as an employed or self-employed earner. This will enable a woman to undertake the occasional day of training, appraisal or work without losing her maternity allowance for the day in question. The object is to allow better contact and communication between the woman and her employer during her maternity absence and to ease the woman's eventual return to work.
79. Paragraph 7 amends section 165 of SSCBA 1992.
80. Sub-paragraph (2) substitutes a new section 165(2) to provide for the maternity pay period to begin with the 11th week before the expected week of confinement. Section 165(3) is also substituted so that, in prescribed cases, the first day of the maternity pay period is to be a prescribed day after the beginning of the 11th week before the expected date of confinement. This allows the maternity pay period to begin on any day of the week and for it to be aligned with the maternity leave period.
81. Sub-paragraph (3) amends section 165(4) to provide a power to prescribe cases in which a woman may work during a part of a week without being disqualified from receiving statutory maternity pay for that week. It is intended that this power will be exercised so as to allow a limited number of days' work under her contract with the employer during the maternity pay period.
82. Sub-paragraph (4) inserts a new section 165(8) to define a "week" as "any period of 7 days beginning with the day of the week on which the maternity pay period begins". This allows for maternity pay to be paid for a specified number of weeks beginning on any day.
83. Paragraph 8 amends section 166 of SSCBA 1992, which relates to the rate of statutory maternity pay.
84. Sub-paragraph (2) inserts a new subsection (1A) to define a "week" as any period of 7 days.
85. Statutory maternity pay is paid on the basis of a weekly rate for a total of 26 weeks (to be extended to 39 weeks). Many women are paid their contractual pay in periods which are not divisible into exact numbers of weeks. In particular many are paid by the calendar month and this leads to employers having to pay statutory maternity pay in patterns of weeks which do not relate to the woman's normal pay period.
86. To help resolve this difficulty sub-paragraph (3) inserts a new section 166(4) to provide for the calculation of statutory maternity pay to be made at one seventh of the weekly rate.
87. Paragraph 9 amends section 171 of SSCBA 1992 by inserting a new definition of week for the purposes of Part 12 of that Act. "Week" generally means "a period of 7 days beginning with Sunday or such other period as may be prescribed in relation to any particular case or class of case" but it has a different meaning in section 165(1), (4) and (6), section 166(1) and paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 13.
88. Paragraph 16 amends section 171ZE of SSCBA 1992 to allow the calculation of ordinary statutory paternity pay to be made at a daily rate, for the same reasons as are set out above in relation to statutory maternity pay (see paragraphs 85 and 86).
89. Paragraph 21 amends section 171ZN of SSCBA 1992 which deals with the rate and period of statutory adoption pay. Sub-paragraph (2) inserts an amendment which would enable an occasional day's work to be performed in prescribed cases without resulting in the loss of any statutory adoption pay, in the same way as the amendment set out in paragraph 7(3) of the Schedule for statutory maternity pay.
90. Sub-paragraph (3) inserts a new subsection which allows the calculation of statutory adoption pay to be made at a daily rate that is to be taken as one seventh of the weekly rate. This is for the same reasons as set out above at paragraphs 85 and 86 in relation to statutory maternity pay.
91. Paragraph 22 amends section 176 of SSCBA 1992 to provide for regulations made under the new inserted sections 171ZEA to 171ZEE (dealing with additional statutory paternity pay) to be subject to the affirmative procedure.
92. Paragraph 23 inserts a new sub-paragraph (2A) in paragraph 3 of Schedule 13 to SSCBA 1992 to define a "week" as a "period of seven days beginning with the day of the week on which the maternity pay period begins".
93. Paragraph 26 amends section 150 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 which deals with the uprating of benefits so that it applies in relation to additional statutory paternity pay.
94. Paragraph 31 amends section 71 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) to provide powers to make regulations which will enable a woman to undertake a few days' training or work for her employer without ending her ordinary maternity leave. The reference to 26 weeks' ordinary maternity leave reflects the current prescribed period of ordinary maternity leave.
95. Paragraph 32 amends section 73 of ERA 1996 in a similar way to the amendment set out above to provide powers to allow a woman to undertake a few days' training or work for her employer without ending her additional maternity leave.
96. Paragraph 33 amends section 75A of ERA 1996 in a similar way to provide powers to allow an adopter to undertake a few days' training or work for her employer without ending her ordinary adoption leave.
97. Paragraph 34 amends section 75B of ERA 1996 to achieve the same effect in respect of additional adoption leave.
98. Paragraph 38 makes amendments to section 80E of ERA 1996 to take account of new sections 80AA and 80BB inserted by the Bill. The amendment made by sub-paragraph (3) provides for the Secretary of State to make regulations requiring an employee taking additional paternity leave, the mother or adopter or the child and the employers of any such persons to record or provide information in connection with paternity leave or additional paternity leave.
99. Paragraph 43 provides for regulations made under new sections 80AA and 80BB of ERA 1996 (dealing with additional paternity leave) to be made under the affirmative procedure.
100. Paragraph 48 provides for provisions in the Finance Act 1999 about electronic communications to apply to additional statutory paternity pay.
101. Paragraph 60 adds additional statutory paternity pay to the list of former Inland Revenue matters in Schedule 1 to the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005. This ensures that, for the purposes of various statutory provisions which refer to that Schedule, additional statutory paternity pay is treated as if (like the other forms of statutory pay) it were a former Inland Revenue matter.
Schedule 2 - Repeals
102. Schedule 2 lists the repeals made by the Bill.
PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL COST AND PUBLIC SECTOR MANPOWER EFFECTS
103. The Bill will involve new expenditure from public funds. The Regulatory Impact Assessment estimates that the costs to the Exchequer of extending statutory maternity pay, maternity allowance and statutory adoption pay from 26 weeks to 39 weeks from April 2007 will be £369 million a year from April 2007. The potential cost of any further extension of the pay periods to 52 weeks would depend on when the extension was made by regulations. The RIA estimates the additional exchequer costs arising as a result of some fathers receiving additional statutory paternity pay - with effect from a point in time to be decided following further consultation - to be £12.1 - £21 million per year. A proportion of the employer costs of the new provisions will fall to the public sector as an employer.
104. The administration of additional paternity leave and additional statutory paternity pay, once the details have been prescribed in regulations following further consultation, is likely to involve a very small additional cost to public funds. These are likely to arise as a result of any need for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to: devise and supply a form or forms to enable mothers, fathers and their employers to operate the scheme; police the employers' / employees' role by compliance checks in a sample of cases; process (in-year) more claims for advance funding for statutory maternity pay etc (from fathers' employers); process more End of Year Returns (new ones from fathers' employers) with a record of statutory maternity pay etc recovered by employers and a record of advance funding received. Given the need for further consultation on these administrative details it is not yet possible to estimate the cost involved.
105. In relation to companies that have become insolvent or are unable to pay the Government meets the costs of redundancy payments through the National Insurance Fund. The overall cost estimates are summarised below at paragraph 112.
106. The annual leave provisions will not have public sector financial costs.
107. The provisions in the Bill as a whole are not expected to have any public sector manpower effects.
SUMMARY OF THE REGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENT
108. A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced covering the provisions in this Bill. Currently 317,000 women qualify for statutory maternity pay and 61,000 for maternity allowance. All these women will be able to benefit from the extension of statutory maternity pay and maternity allowance to 39 weeks. The majority of costs for extending these payments fall to the Exchequer, and this is estimated in the Regulatory Impact Assessment at £369 million a year. The on-going costs of the extension for employers are estimated at between £42 million to £56 million per year. The direct costs of the extension fall to larger employers, though there are indirect costs for smaller employers in managing absences. Set against this are the benefits to very young children who can be cared for by a parent for longer in the first year and for mothers who have more choice about when to return to work from maternity leave. It is also estimated that employers will benefit from the estimated reduction in recruitment costs as a result of increasing the number of mothers staying on after return to work. This benefit is estimated at £13.2 million a year.
109. Given the relatively small number of adoptions each year, the costs and benefits are negligible. However, there will be benefits for adoptive families from greater support for adopters to stay at home and care for their child in the first year of the child's placement.
110. The Regulatory Impact Assessment estimates that between 380,000 to 442,000 employed fathers would be eligible for additional paternity leave and between 238,000 to 277,000 for additional paternity pay depending on what length of service criteria are adopted (options costed in the RIA are 60 and 26 weeks' qualifying service respectively). The costs of additional paternity pay to the Exchequer will be £12.1m to £21m per year. The costs to employers are estimated at £10.5m to £31.4m per year, plus estimated administration costs of £1.3m per year.
111. The Regulatory Impact Assessment estimates that around 1.3 million employees would benefit from the extension in the right to request flexible working to carers of dependent adults. The on-going costs to employers is estimated at between £22 million to £120 million for the first year and between £35 to £196 million in the second year, depending on how a carer is defined. The benefits to employers are estimated at between £18 million to £100 million in the first year and between £36 million to £196 million in the second year, resulting from savings in recruitment and absence costs and increased productivity and profits.
112. A Partial Regulatory Impact Assessment published in July 2005 as part of the 'Coming of Age' consultation set out a range of estimates of the costs of changes to statutory redundancy pay. If, for example, the weekly limit were increased from the present £280/week to £290/week and the multiplier set at (a) 1.0 or (b) 1.5, the cost to employers could either (a) fall by £120 million or (b) increase by £290 million. The Regulatory Impact Assessment is available at
113. In relation to the extension to annual leave entitlement, due to the wide range of working patterns that presently exist in the United Kingdom, it is difficult to obtain accurate figures on how many people are contractually entitled to four weeks' paid leave and time off in respect of bank and public holidays. The DTI plans to seek further data and consult with stakeholders in order to develop more robust cost estimates and investigate how the commitment could be implemented.
114. The Regulatory Impact Assessments are available at: www.dti.gov.uk/er.
COMPATIBILITY WITH THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
115. The Convention Rights most relevant to the Bill are Article 14 (prohibition on discrimination), taken with Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) or Article 1 of Protocol 1 (right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions). The Minister considered whether the provisions of the Bill relating to paternity leave and pay contravened these rights but concluded that the provisions were compatible with the Convention Rights, as they did not constitute unlawful discrimination on the ground of sex or on any other ground. As there is no unlawful discrimination, Article 14 does not apply and there is no breach of the Convention Rights.
116. The Minister also considered whether there could be a separate contravention of Article 1 of Protocol 1 but concluded that there was no such contravention as a new right to paternity pay is not an acquired economic interest amounting to a possession within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol 1.
117. Section 19 of the Human Rights Act 1998 requires the Minister in charge of a Bill in either House of Parliament to make a statement about the compatibility of the provisions of the Bill with the Convention rights (as defined by Section 1 of that Act). The statement has to be made before Second Reading. Alan Johnson, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, has made the following statement:
118. Clause 19 deals with commencement. Certain supplementary provisions (the interpretation clause (clause 16), the clause relating to Northern Ireland (clause 17) and clauses 18 to 20) come into effect on Royal Assent. Otherwise there is a power for the Secretary of State to bring the provisions of the Act into force on such day as the Secretary of State may by order appoint. Different days may be appointed for different purposes.

Changing the course

Does Barack Obama have a strategy on Syria? If he has one, it’s time for him to explain what it is, because the people in this region still thinks that he is yet to approach the issue with the seriousness it deserves.
The statement the president made on Tuesday shows that he is not sure where he stands. At a news conference with French President Francois Hollande, Mr. Obama described the Syrian conflict as ‘one of our highest national security priorities. He admitted that his diplomatic strategy is far from achieving” its aim of a political solution, while “we still have a horrendous situation on the ground.” The same president had dismissed five months ago Syria as ‘someone else’s civil war’. Obama’s view is also shared by Secretary of State John F Kerry who is reported to have privately acknowledged that the US policy is failing even as the threat to US interests grows.
The cornerstone of Obama’s policy on Syria has been to avoid getting dragged into another conflict in the Middle East. The US public has no appetite for any military involvements abroad, especially when the operation in Afghanistan is winding down. While this position is certainly understandable, Obama’s policy on Syria has been ad hoc and unwise. Getting involved doesn’t always mean military involvement. What the president had done actually has been watch the war like a spectator watching some games, and even if Washington had made some sincere efforts to resolve the conflict, they can be considered as feeble and half-hearted considering the ferocity of this conflict. It’s this policy which had brought Syria where it is today, and it some US officials are admitting the mistake, it has come too late.
The cruelties being committed by Bashar Al Assad’s forces, even as peace talks faltered in Geneva, could be influencing Obama’s thinking. Secondly, Washington is finding that the jihadists in Syria could pose a threat to its security and interests. Top intelligence officials Director of National Intelligence James R Clapper Jr and CIA Director John Brennan, said that Al Qaeda is developing a refuge in eastern Syria that could be used to launch attacks against the United States.
Obama said: “Right now we don’t think there’s a military solution per se . . . but the situation is fluid and we are continuing to explore every possible avenue to solve this problem.” This is definitely good news. The key to finding a solution to any issue is to first realize that there is an issue. The president needs to consult his allies in this region before deciding on his future course of action. Any delay will have more serious consequences•

When my children were in grade school, one day each year they would march with their classmates and teachers in a big in-school parade through the halls. They would don colorful capes and masks and carry bright red lanterns. They would end the parade with gatherings in their classroom to share an array of special eats.
What were they celebrating? Chinese New Year.
You might be holidayed out. Or you may be thinking – yay! Another distraction from the dark deep freeze we find ourselves in. We humans do our best to dress up the winter months (each and every one of them, it seems) with light and color and comfort food.
A Celebration of Family
Either way, I think Chinese New Year is worth noting. Why? Because the partying at this holiday is about honoring the bonds of family.
When the Chinese started this tradition in ancient days, the birth family was the most important unit of relationship. In 2016, the concept of “family” is broader – it can include extended family, blended family, partners, and dear friends. But the essence of the celebration is the same: taking time out of our busy lives (yep, put those computers away!) to gather with our inner circle. This can be a great ritual for children. A time to honor the reciprocal bond among their family members that supports and nurtures, rejoices in successes and comforts when there are disappointments.
So I intend to celebrate. And maybe you will, too. It doesn’t need to be for the entire weeklong holiday. Even just a quiet dinner can be profound: a moment to honor and affirm the importance of family to us as individuals, to our local communities, and to our human community around the world.
Happy Chinese New Year!
Share your stories of celebrating family.

'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' is a game developed by Animal Crossing. Players can visit Jolly Redd's fishing trawler to purchase unique art items, but Redd is unfortunately a scam. All of his artwork and sculptures, he claims, are genuine works of art from throughout the world. When he closes a contract on an art sale, he makes it clear to the buyer that no refunds or exchanges will be accepted, regardless of the issue, which shows that Redd is banking on the fact that not everyone who visits his collection is a cultured connoisseur with an eye for detail.
Redd takes advantage of those who are unable to tell the difference between a genuine work and a fake by overcharging naïve buyers, who later learn they have been misled when attempting to resell the item. Investing a few thousand dollars in a piece of art is a wise decision. Unfortunately, those phony art pieces end up being worthless in terms of money. So, once you've obtained bogus art, what can you do with it?
Throw out Jolly Redd's forged artwork.
After obtaining a forgery, the player will be unable to donate it to Blathers at the museum, and Timmy and Tommy will not be willing to purchase it. That means it'll be clogging up vital inventory space unless the player comes up with a new use for it. It seems a shame to have spent all those bells on the piece only to find out it's worthless. Perhaps gazing at it will just serve to exacerbate your feelings of betrayal, so tossing it in the garbage is one option. It will be removed from the inventory and space will be freed up by tossing it into a trash bin.
If trashing it seems wasteful, toss it into the recycle bin, where it will remain until the bin is emptied. Simply make a bin, stand in front of it, and press A to recycle a forgery from your inventory. It will vanish from the player's inventory and remain in the bin until it is emptied or the player decides to take it back out. When farming for resources on mystery islands, forgeries can also be dumped. Simply put it on the beach and it will follow you back home. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover money from discarded or recycled products, which is the disadvantage of this approach.
Showcase your forged works of art.
Some of the forgeries are actually quite pleasant to look at, and unless the fabrication is clear, who will realize that the Vermeer in the living room isn't the real thing? Of course, it's crucial to remember that many of Redd's forgeries are truly haunted, so if the painting begins to blink and the statues begin to float, it may reveal the fraud and terrify naive visitors. This, on the other hand, makes them ideal decorations for the eerie season.
Art can be displayed anywhere on a player's island, regardless of its legitimacy. Place the replica statues in local gardens and parks for everyone to enjoy. Alternatively, try opening a gallery next to Blathers' museum to provide some friendly competition. Even if the works in the gallery aren't real, they'll be entertaining for guests to gaze at when they visit the island, and they won't take up space in the player's home or inventory. And by Halloween, they'll be the talk of the town.

It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
In contrast to the leadership methodologies of the pagan world, spiritual leaders are to demonstrate a different approach. A Christian leader is humble, not ego driven. He is not to “lord over the flock.” He is also a servant. The essence of his leadership is giving to others and not looking to always receive. A Christian leader is a servant, and the Bible uses the term “slave” which is a direct contrast to how some see leaders as being “masters.” His focus of leadership is on others. He is to give up his time and life for the many and not just for himself.
Fortunately, God is actively making spiritual leaders throughout time. This idea of God’s shaping leaders is throughout the pages of the Bible. The Old Testament provides lengthier narrative on Biblical characters, which helps us to see the divine shaping of God on these individuals. Abram was instructed to leaveUrand travel to an unknown land, and all through this time God was shaping him to become a father to the faithful.
Joseph was enslaved, imprisoned, but God was shaping him providentially to become a leader to his people. Genesis 45:7-8 states:
And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Even though Joseph was going through various traumatic experiences, there was more than history happening; rather God was shaping this young man’s character into someone who would be a great leader and advocate for God’s people. The Bible confirms this in Exodus 1:6-8:
Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. But the people ofIsraelwere fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them. Now there arose a new king overEgypt, who did not know Joseph.
Joseph was a highly influential person within the Egyptian nation, but after his death and memory faded, a Pharaoh who enslaved God’s people, came to power. The Bible states that he did this because he “did not know Joseph.”

Tuesday, January 8
It was hard to photograph due to the glare. I used a lot of Damar Varnish last night. I was afraid the paint was going to slide off the surface from the honey like medium mixed in the paint. It was a great surprise this morning when I went out to the studio that the paint did not run. Just a small drip from the Lilly pad umbrella the little fish is holding. The Globe looks like a gem, like something very precious and rare. It looks cooler than it photographed. I am encouraged! It is a slow process painting on a round surface. I think the fact that I have to put the paint down so carefully, has helped me be more thoughtful. I can't wait to start another one! Onward!

Budget 2013 will be delivered on May 16, Finance Minister Bill English says.
The Budget will focus on continued rebalancing of the economy, encouraging savings, investment, trade and growth, and on delivering a government surplus by the 2014-15 financial year, he told parliament's finance and expenditure select committee today.
The most recent updated forecasts show a surplus of $66 million in that year.
The hearing was dominated by debate not so much about the forthcoming Budget but by about what, if anything, the government or the Reserve Bank could do about the high New Zealand dollar.
Facing a barrage of questions from opposition MPs on the issue and on the state of the manufacturing sector, Mr English responded that there is little anyone can do about the exchange rate.
The emphasis of government policy is on improving New Zealand's competitiveness so firms can live in a world where New Zealand's currency is valued more highly than it once was.
He also told Labour, Green and New Zealand First MPs that in arguing for a lower exchange rate they are effectivley seeking a cut in spending power.
"Oddly enough, I'm saying workers need a voice in this debate."
In a particularly testy exchange, NZ First leader Winston Peters demanded the government and Reserve Bank "take action" to bring the currency down.
"Yes, but what action?" was the response from Mr English.
"Should the Reserve Bank put interest rates up or down? The market is likely to look at a rate cut and say, 'well, clearly the next move is up and therefore let's go buy New Zealand dollars'.
"And that will put the exchange rate up further."
While other countries had engaged in quantitative easing and other related money-printing methods, they were nations where real interest rates are negative and real incomes are declining – neither of which is happening in New Zealand.
Countries which have used those methods are also "doing something which has never been done before" and will likely face a painful adjustment further down the track, he says.

A new year has arrived, and the way you have invested your assets for the past decade may not be optimal for the immediate future.
Equity investments have had an amazing “bull run.” In the 10-year period, ending Dec. 22, 2021, according to data on the Charles Schwab and Company website, the S&P 500 index has increased by 270%, which means that a $10,000 invested in a low-cost S&P 500 mutual fund or Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) would be worth $37,000. Over the past 10 years, shares of Google have increase 820%, Apple by 1100%, Amazon by 1800%, Netflix by 5800%, and get this, shares of Tesla by an astonishing 17,700%. Do you think that these kinds of gains will be had over the next 10 years?
Even the comparatively mundane performance of the S&P 500 over the past decade equates to a compound annual return of about 14%, which is materially better than the 10.7% average of the past 30 years (per Motley Fool website). With the past decade so much above average, there is a chance that there will be a reversion to the mean, and we may have a decade of underperformance. In addition, the past decade has had astoundingly low inflation, with average annual inflation of just 2% for the past 10 years, through August 2021 (per Bureau of Labor Statistics website). So as savers and investors, we are faced with the dilemma of growing uncertainty about the future, with potential declines in the long-term gains of equities, combined with potential sharp increases in inflation.
Many advisors are helping their clients find ways to achieve good returns, in an inflationary environment, without investing all capital in equities. Increased inflation decreases the attractiveness of most bonds, as capital invested in bonds will have decreased purchasing power when returned to the investor at the end of the bonds’ term.
Bank notes, issued by large, well-capitalized banks, have some similar characteristics to taxable bonds, but better risk/return profiles. To attract large amounts of new capital, many banks have created “structured notes” designed to provide the note holder high interest, but without locking the bank into paying high interest for many years.
Banks have developed methods where they use part of the note holder’s money to invest in futures and index options, to increase the returns and the interest that they can pay to note holders. When they do this, the bank runs risk that if the market linked investments perform very poorly, that they might lose money on that part of their investment. The bank passes some of that risk onto the note holder. If things go very badly through the end of the term of the note, the note holder may not get 100% of the original investment back. Conversely, many notes have a “call provision.” If the underlying investments do very well, the bank can call back the note and pay the investor 100% of the principal and all accrued interest to the date of the call.
A couple of examples may clarify these ideas. These are just typical examples and have terms which may not be available at any point in the future. A major bank recently created a five-year note that pays 8% per year if neither the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the Russell 2000 is down more than 30% from the date of issue. The note will mature in five years at face value if none of the indices is more than 35% lower than on the date of issue. If the note reaches maturity, and one of the indices is down more than 35%, the investor will get part of his original investment back, the amount depending upon how much the index is below the 35% threshold. Although major indexes do occasionally have a bad year, it is extremely rare for a major index to be more than 35% lower than it was five years earlier.
Another major bank has launched a three-year note that tracks the biggest components of the S&P 500 Index: Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. The note pays 11% per year and matures at face value if none of those blue-chip stocks have decreased by more than 40% on the third anniversary following the issue date. Investors don’t need the underlying stocks or indexes to perform well to make money.
While structured notes have some similarities to long term CD’s, they are more complex, have somewhat more risk than a CD, and are not insured by the FDIC. However, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing bank. Because of these differences, banks can’t and won’t sell structured notes directly to banking customers. Notes are made available through major stockbrokers and through independent registered investment advisors, who have the legal fiduciary duty to fully explain the risks and benefits of such investments, and to assure that the note is appropriate for the risk profile of the investors.
With increasing inflation nipping at our heals, and the ability to get returns from structured note approaching the long-term performance of the stock market with much less risk, they should be considered by many investors.
If you would like to explore such investments for relevance to your investment needs, you can contact Roy Rosner via email at email@example.com or call 561-998-9985.

Have you heard about these new canned drinks mixing alcohol and caffeine?
College students across the country have landed in the hospital because of them. And now it has happened to a handful of local students.
Saint Joseph's University has confirmed to Philly.com that a handful of students were hospitalized after drinking Four Loko.
It's a fruit flavored, caffeinated malt liquor drink that has the same amount of liquor as three or more beers and as much caffeine as several cups of coffee.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board recently asked 17,000 licensed businesses, distributors and wholesalers to take the beverage off the shelf until the FDA can finish its investigation.

It’s embarrassing. And it’s time for an immediate change.
This 2018 Buccaneers team was heading in the right direction as they started out 2-0. But as I previously pointed out, they played a bad New Orleans team at the time and a Philadelphia team hampered by injuries. Those teams are still winning and this Tampa Bay defense is still terrible.
Their offense was their best defense. Now that has caught up to them in the past two games.
On Sunday, they traveled up to Chicago to face a Bears’ offense that ranked 26th in the NFL and a quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky who has not thrown for over 220 yards before Week 4. In both instances, the Bears looked like the No. 1 offense with the league’s top quarterback against Mike Smith’s defense.
Trubisky threw for 354 yards on 19 completions and six touchdowns with no interceptions. It was a career day for the young Bears quarterback, which is what I feared would happen because it had all the makings of a game where the Bears offense would make the Bucs defense look foolish. Oh, and Chicago also had over 100 yards rushing.
Tampa Bay’s defense has no business being on the field with anyone else. Defensive coordinator Mike Smith has no business calling another defensive play for the Buccaneers. Head coach Dirk Koetter needs to make a decision during the bye week. That decision being removing Smith, his friend, from the coaching staff.
Defensive line coach Brentson Buckner should take over. Players and front office personnel have raved about Buckner’s ability to eventually be a defensive coordinator in this league. We’ve all heard how that will be his next job.
While it may sound like a knee-jerk reaction, it’s the appropriate action.
There was promise of a positive season but as the offense falters, the defense can’t bail them out even if their careers depended on it. Smith once said that his job was to put his players in position to be successful. We have yet to see that.
Heading into the bye week with a 2-2 record is disappointing after starting 2-0. It is an embarrassment to the organization, largely because a Mike Smith defense is an embarrassment.
The time is now. It’s time to replace Smith with Buckner. If 2018 was the year where Koetter’s job was on the line, his own friend isn’t doing him any favors.

Nethy Dharma Somba, Jayapura, Papua – The victory of incumbent candidate pair Lukas Enembe-Klemen Tinal during the Papua gubernatorial election on June 27 will not affect support for President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo in the province, although the pair was not supported by the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), an official said.
Tinal, the incumbent deputy governor, made the statement after the Papua General Elections Commission (KPU Papua) confirmed the vote recapitulation results, which showed the defeat of ruling party-backed John Wempi Wetipo-Habel Melkias Suwae.
Supported by a coalition of nine political parties, Enembe-Tinal won 1.93 million or around 67.54 percent of the vote. With support from the PDI-P and the opposition party, Gerindra, Wetipo-Suwae won 932,008 or 32.46 percent of the vote.
"There is no correlation between political parties' support in the Papua gubernatorial election and the support of Papuan people for a particular presidential candidate in the 2019 election. Although the political party that supports Pak Jokowi did not win in Papua; 95 percent of Papuan people still support President Jokowi," said Tinal, who is on the Golkar Party's central executive board in Papua.
The PDI-P, he said, was not the only party backing Jokowi as he sought reelection.
Tinal said Papuans' support for Jokowi was driven by the President's attention to Papua. Since Indonesia's independence in 1945, he said, Jokowi had been the only president to visit Papua nine times within a four-year term. "This is an honor for us, the Papuan people." (swa/ebf)

Astronomers have been puzzling over so-called fast radio bursts for several years now, but their unpredictable nature has hampered our attempts to understand this bizarre phenomenon. That's why an object called FRB 121102 has been of such interest. Whatever this object is, it fires off fast radio bursts repeatedly. A team of astronomers studying the signals from FRB 121102 have now reported some unexpected results. The signals from FRB 121102 appear to be "twisted" in a way that indicates an extreme stellar environment(Opens in a new window).
The first fast radio bursts were identified in 2007, but they've been difficult to study. They were named accurately, you see. A fast radio burst lasts only a millisecond, and they don't repeat. However, FRB 121102, which lies in the heart of a dwarf galaxy some 3 billion light years away, is the exception that proves the rule. This object emits fast radio bursts in clusters, allowing scientists to gather data in real time and train more instruments on the source.
We already know that fast radio bursts are incredibly energetic -- they'd have to be for us to detect them so far away. These emissions could be related to supernovas, pulsars (rotating neutron stars), or magnetars (pulsars with powerful magnetic fields). FRB 121102 gives scientists an opportunity to learn more about the environment surrounding the radio source, which could help us understand what causes fast radio bursts. What they found is evidence of an extremely powerful magnetic field(Opens in a new window).
The team used the Arecibo Observatory (above) in Puerto Rico and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia to observe FRB 121102 as it let off a burst. The idea was to measure the polarization (geometric orientation) of the electromagnetic signal, which can be affected by local phenomena. The extraordinary polarization of light from FRB 121102 was totally unexpected. Polarization has been observed in other fast radio bursts, but this was 500 times more extreme.
There was a feeling among researchers that they were close to understanding FRB 121102, but now things are less clear. The new data points to several possible explanations, though. FRB 121102 may be a pulsar in close proximity to a growing supermassive black hole. The plasma spinning around the black hole could lens and polarize the light from FRB 121102, but why would a giant black hole be in a dwarf galaxy. Another possibility is FRB 121102 resides within a dense nebula that affects its signal, but then how did it get bright enough for us to see?There's plenty of work still to be done before we understand fast radio bursts. They're hard to catch, but about 10,000 of them appear in the sky every night. Each one gets us a little closer to the solution.

Of the three concepts, this seems to be the most likely to hit the production line.
This is Suzuki's vision of a compact ecocar that will have the capacity to cover distances of up to 30km a day on battery power alone. This is more than enough for a typical daily Japanese journey, and with an engine-driven generator as back-up it can comfortably extend its range. The beauty of the EV Hybrid aka the Swift Range Extender, is its relatively small battery that's quicker to charge than pure EV batteries, as well as weighing less, using fewer resources, and costing less.
More details about the EV hybrid and Suzuki's other concepts should emerge once they take a bow at the motor show at the end of the month.

MusicNomad, a Sonoma, CA based company, has developed the first line of green cleaners for musical instruments.
Founder Rand Rognlien calls his new line "the most human and instrument friendly line of guitar and drum cleaners available."
Most existing products contained harsh chemicals such as acid and silicone. The MusicNomad line is made up of various products including biodegradable guitar and drum cleaners, silicone free guitar polish and acid free cymbal cleaner. Packaging is 100% PET, the most earth friendly recyclable plastic (same material used in water bottles), while other companies use less recycling-friendly plastics.
A portion of all proceeds goes to help independent musicians thru the company's advocacy website, MusicNomad.com- where thousands of musicians go each month to discover resources, tips and articles to help them in their music career.

Police officer grazed in head by bullet in North Philly
A second officer also was injured on the 2200 block of North Reese Street.
A 28-year-old Philadelphia police officer responding to a reported carjacking was grazed in the head by a bullet and a second officer was injured Monday night in North Philadelphia, police said.
The shooting happened around 8:10 p.m. on the 2200 block of North Reese Street, police said. The male officer, who was described as alert, was taken to Temple University Hospital.
A second male officer suffered a minor injury to his head, but it was described as not being caused by gunfire.
The police department posted a statement on Twitter saying the officer with graze wound was in stable condition.
“Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support as our brave officer … recovers from his injuries,” the department said, adding that the officer is a four-year member of the force.
The shooter was described as among a group of five or six males who ran north on Reese and was still at large.
It was not immediately clear what led to the gunfire. But the officers said they were shot at and took cover and were not able to return fire, police said.


Life-sciences computing made headway in the TOP500 Projects latest listing of the worlds fastest supercomputers, announced on Sunday at the International Supercomputer Conference in Heidelberg, Germany.
The list is based on a semi-annual survey run by the TOP500 Project, which is sponsored by the German University of Mannheim, the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center in Berkeley, Calif.
IBMs Blue Gene/L DD1 came in at No. 4, and the Blue Gene/L DD2, grabbed the No. 8 spot. The DD1 system uses over 8,000 PowerPC 440 processors and takes up about as much space as four refrigerators, considerably smaller than other supercomputers. It has a peak speed of 16 teraflops and a sustained speed of 11.68 teraflops.
In the November list, an earlier version of the Blue Gene system ranked 73rd. And the current system is operating at less than one fifteenth of its planned capacity, according to a statement by IBM.
A Blue Gene model will likely displace the Earth Simulator as the top supercomputer a year from now, perhaps sooner, predicted the compilers of the list.
The Blue Gene project was first designed to model protein folding, or the process by which proteins achieve their intricate, three-dimensional shapes, an in-silico task that has long been a holy grail of academics and the drug industry.
Already, a Blue Gene system is being used to study how a particularly important class of proteins fold, important information for asthma, cancer and inflammation research, as well as for cardiovascular and mental health diseases.
However, IBM believes Blue Gene has potential beyond the tough task it was designed for. The company will aim the system at applications such as online search engines, geologic simulations, financial market modeling and risk analysis.
For the first time, less-expensive cluster computers were the most common architecture in the TOP500 list. Over half, or 287, of the systems run processors from Intel Corp.
The sites with the top ten supercomputer systems, the manufacturers of the machines, and their processors, as measured by the TOP500 survey:
- The Earth Simulator Centers supercomputer, manufactured by NEC; 5,120 NEC SX processors.
- The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratorys supercomputer, manufactured by California Digital Corp.; 4,096 Intel Itanium 2 processors.
- The Los Alamos National Laboratorys ASCI Q, manufactured by HP; 8,192 Alpha EV68 processors.
- The IBM Thomas Watson Research Centers Blue Gene LDD1 Prototype, manufactured by IBM, 8, 192 PowerPC 440 processors.
- The NCSA Tungsten, manufactured by Dell; 2,500 Pentium 4 Xeon processors.
- European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts supercomputer, manufactured by IBM; 2,112 Power4 processors.
- The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) supercomputer, manufactured by Fujitsu Ltd.; 2,048 Intel Xeon processors.
- The IBM Thomas Watson Research Centers Blue Gene LDD2 Prototype, manufactured by IBM; 4,096 PowerPC 440 processors.
