They're scheduled to shift to Jerusalem for a sec- ond day of talks Wednes- day, and it's likely that Obama will resume negoti- ations with Abbas and Net- anyahu in New York the following week on the sidelines of the U.N. Gen- eral Assembly. The most immediate obstacle for negotiators is a Palestinian demand that Israel extend a curb on new housing construction n the West Bank a con- straint that Israel says will expire Sept 26. The Palestinians have insisted that without an extension. the peace talks will go nowhere Raising the pressure, Obama said Friday that he has urged Netanyahu to extend the partial morato- rium as long as talks are making progress.

His electoral mandate expired in 2009 and be fears a Harms takeover of the West Bank, which is sup- posed to make up the bulk of an independent Pales- tinian state. Time is a motivating factor for the Israelis, too. Some Israelis believe the longer that Israel occupies the West Bank and its growing Arab population, the more Israel's future as a Jewish state is imperiled Creating a sovereign Pales- tine would get Israel out of the occupation business. More broadly, the stnus quo is a drag on US. inter- ests.

He called the resumed negotiations "an important step in an attempt" to make peace, but added that it "is an attempt because there is no certainty of success."

BY GRIM IO11ER AssooaledPress BASEL, Switzerland — Global financial regulators on Sunday agreed on new rules designed to strengthen bank finances and rein in ezeessive risk - taking to help prevent another aids. Banks will be forced to hold more and safer kinds of capital to offset the risks they take lending money and trading securities. which should make them more resistant to financial shock such as those of the last several year. European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Tri- che4 chairman of the com- mittee of central backers and honk supervisors that worked on the new rules, called the agreement "a fundamental strengthening of global capital stan- dards." "Ther contribution to long-term financial stabil- ity and growth will be sub- stantial," Trichet said in statem.L Ina joint statement, US. officials including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke caned the new a standards "significant step forward in reducing the incidence and severity of future 0oaodal crises.' Some backs have pro- tested. however, that the new rules may hurt thew profitability and cause them to reduce the lending that fuels economic growth, possibly dampen- ing a global economic recovery. Representatives of major central banks. ioctudiog the ECB and the U.S. Federal Reserve, agreed to the deal at a meeting in Basel, Switzer- land, on Sunday. The deal still has to be presented to leaden of the Group of 20 forum of rich and develop- ing countries at a meeting in November and ratified by national governments before it comes into force. The agreement, known as Basel III, Is Seen as cornerstone of the global financial reforms proposed by governments following the credit crunch and sub- sequent economic down- turn cased by risky bank- ing practices. Earlier this year, the Brussels -based European Banking Federation warned that the new global rules forcing banks to put aside more capital could keep the eurozone econ- omy in or dose to reces- sion through 2014. The federation said its analysis of proposed new Basel m banking standards would limit eurozo0e banks' credit growth and profits, bun the economy and prevent the creation of up to 5 million jobs in the 16 nations that use the cure. Under the agreement, banks will have six years starting on Jan L 2013, to progressively increase their capital reserves. Under current rules, banks have to bold back at least 4 percent of their balance sheet to cover their risks. Starting in 2013, this reserve — known as tier 1 capital — will have to rise to 4S percent, reaching 6 percent in 2019. In addition, banks will be required to keep a emergency reserve known as a nervation buffer" of 2.5 percent. In total, the amount of rock -solid reserves each bank is expected to have by the end of the decade will be 8.5 percent of its balance sheet.

The most immediate obstacle for negotiators is a Palestinian demand that Israel extend a curb on new housing construction in the West Bank a co n- straint that IsraelIsraelsays will expire Sept 26. The Palestinians have insisted that without an extension. the peace talks will go nowhere. Raising the pressure, Obama said Friday that he has urged Netanyahu to extend the partial morato- rium as long as talks are making progress. How- ever, Netaoyahu said Sun- day that the current restrictions would indeed be lifted — he rejected a total freeze o construc- tion — but add there would be some limits Obama also said he's told Abbas that if he shows he's serious about negoti- ati0g, it will give political s01 w maneuver room for Netan- TIMING of TAMS: 'I think that both sides and both leaders recognize that yabu on the settlement there may not ever be another chance; U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton issue.

The 'last chance" notion is based in part on the knowledge that Abbas is living on borrowed time, in a political sense. His electoral mandate expired in 2009 and be (ears a Mamas takeover of the West Bank, which is sup- posed to make up the bulk of an independent Pales- tinian state. Time is a motivating factor for the Israelis, too. Some Israelis believe the longer that Israel occupies the West Bank and its growing Arab population, the more Israel's future as a Jewish state is imperiled Creating a sovereign Pales- tine would get Israel out of the occupation business. More broadly, the status quo is a drag on US. inter- ests The wars and griev- ances that flowed from Israel's 1948 founding as a Jewish state have divided the Middle East, and US. officials have argued that the conflict begets hatred and suspicion of the US. as Israelis principal ally'. Obama wants deal within a year; Israelis are deeply skeptical after dec- ades of failed efforts. NO CERTAINTY Netanyabu acknowl- edges the widespread doubts. 'There are many obstacles, many skeptics and many reasons for skepticism," he said in a Jewish New Year address last Tuesday. He Bled the resumed negotiations "en important step in an attempt" to make peat but added that it "is an attempt because there is no certainty of success.' One concern of all the parties to the talks is Haman, the militant Islam- ist movement that refuses to negotiate and opposes Israel's very existence. Haman controls the Gaza Strip. which is supposed to be part of a negotiated Pal- estinian state along with most of the West Bank Michele Dunne, a Mid- east expert at the Carnegie Endowment for Interna- tional Peace, said it appears the talks will go nowhere until the two sides, with Clinton's help. can find a compromise to the settlements issue SWITZERLAND Global bank rules aim to prevent another meltdown ■ A group of world financial regulators agreed t0 new rules On Sunday that would make banks more resistant to another economic crisis. BY6606 Ig11ER Assooalad Press BASEL Switzerland — Global financial regulators on Sunday agreed on new rules designed to strengthen bank finances and rein in excessive risk - taking to help prevent another crisis. Banks will be forced to hold more and safer kinds of capital to offset the risks they take lending money and trading securities, which should make them more resistant to financial shoos such as those of the last several years. European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Tri- dhet chairman of the com- mittee of central bankers and bank supervisors that worked on the new rules, called the agreement "a fundamental strengthening of global capital stan- dards' "Their contribution to long-term financial stabil- ity and growth will be sub- stantial" Trichet said in a statement In a joint statement. US. officials including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke called the new standards a"significant step forward in reducing the incidence and severity of future financial crises." Some bade have pro- tested. however, that the new rule may hurt their profitability and cause them to reduce the lending that fuels economic growth. possibly dao�ic i0g a global m recovery. Representatives of major central banks, including Ike ECB and the US. Federal Reserve, agreed to the deal at a meeting in Basel Switzer- land, on Sunday. The deal still has to be presented to leaders of the Group of 20 forum of rich and develop- ing countries at a meeting in November and ratified by national governments before it comes into force. The agreement. known m Basel 1I1, is seen as cornerstone of the global financial reforms proposed by governments following the credit crmch and sub- sequent economic down- turn nosed by risky bank- ing practices Earlier this year, the Brussels -based European Banking Federation warned that the new global rules forcing banks to put aside more capital could keep the eurozone econ- omy in or close to reces- sion through 2014. The federation said its analysis of proposed new Basel ID banking standards would limit eurozo0e banks' credit growth and profits, hurt the economy and prevent the creation of up to 5 million jobs in the 16 nations that use the aura Under the agreement, banks will have six years starting on Jan. L 2013, to progressively increase their capital reserves. Under current rules, banks have to hold back at last 4 percent of their balance sheet to cover their risks. Starting in 2013, this reserve — known as tier 1 capital — will have to rise to 4.5 percent, reaching 6 percent in 2019. 1n addition, banks will be required to keep an emergency reserve known as a "conservation buffer" of 2.5 percent. In total, the amount of rock -solid reserves each bank is expected to have by the end of the decade will be 8.5 percent of its balance sheet MIAMI DAILY BUSINESS REVIEW Published Daily except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Holidays Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida STATE OF FLORIDA COUNTY OF MIAMI-DADE: Before the undersigned authority personally appeared MARIA MESA, who on oath says that he or she is the LEGAL CLERK, Legal Notices of the Miami Daily Business Review f/k/a Miami Review, a daily (except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Hoiidays) newspaper, published at Miami in Miami -Dade County, Florida; that the attached copy of advertisement, being a Legal Advertisement of Notice in the matter of (#14823) CITY OF MIAMI - PUBLIC HEARING - SEPTEMBER 23, 2010 TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT SPECIAL REVENUE FUND 122001 in the XXXX Court, was published in said newspaper in the issues of 09/08/2010 Affiant further says that the said Miami Daily Business Review is a newspaper published at Miami in said Miami -Dade County, Florida and that the said newspaper has heretofore been continuously published in said Miami -Dade County, Florida, each day (except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Holidays) and has been entered as second class mail matter at the post office in Miami in said Miami -Dade County, Florida, for a period of one year next preceding the first publication of the attached copy of advertisement; and affiant further says that he or she has neither paid nor promised any person, firm or corporation any discount, r- • - ion or refund for the purpose of securin' t '`• ,•lication in the said Swom to and subscribed before me this 08 day of SEPTEMBER , A.D. 2010 (SEAL) MARIA MESA personally known to me e.PY `ua Notary Public State of Florida , `t- Cheryl H Marmel v� a My Commission D0793490 ''f or �,� Expires 07/18/2012 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING RATIFICATION OF EMERGENCY FINDINGS FOR WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE SEALED BIDS FOR THE PROVISION OF PRE -ARRANGED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR LOW TO MODERATE INCOME ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED THROUGH ACTION COMMUNITY CENTER INC., TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSIT SPECIAL REVENUE FUND 122001 City Hall - 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida The Miami City Commission will hold a Public Hearing on September 23, 2010 beginning at 9:00 a.m. to consider whether it is in the public's best interest that the City Commission ratify, approve and confirm the Emergency Findings of the City Manager justifying the waiver of competitive bids and the award of a Grant Agreement for Pre -arranged Transportation Services for Miami residents who are low to moderate income elderly and the disabled to destinations such as hospital and medical facilities, supermarkets, and senior care centers to Action Community Center, Inc.

There are now more than 500 active quid ditch teams world- wide — handing teams in Brazil. New Zealand and Cokubh. AN ASSOCIATION In Florida most of the nearly 30 quidditch teams ,.bat have registered sith the International Quid - ditch Association — a "magical nownefit organi- zation" that govems this fast-gtowing sport — are colleges. Bat there's also a smattering of high schools — including North Browad Preparatory School in Coconut Creek and Western Wagb Schad in Davie. "Now we're 'tuning to get adult teams who are interested ia Miming." said the IQA's Alicia Radford. ...whatever age groups watt to play quidditch. we will adapt." Both the University of Mani and Florida Inter- national University have launched quidditch clubs this semester. In the most eargerly anticipated match since Slytherin vs. Gut:Maim. UM will tabs on PIU in December. Quidditch players typi- cally grew up reading Harry Potter, and relish the emaience of playing even a scaled -down version of a game they dreamt about as children Soot at bow tam books have bona sold across America there's a lot of kids interested in it." said Bob Beloff, whose 18- year-old son. Sean. plays quidditch at UM. 'They're all in college now." Moggle quidditch might not have any acro- batic broom-fiying, but that doesn't mean it's for sissies. 'There's plenty of bumping and other physi- cal contact. Men and women gbh? side -by side. Tve found the girh are More vicious." said FTU quidditch organizer Cbel- oea Maker, adding that one team practice harmed a mapped broom caused by a female student tack- ling one of the guys. Ab. the brooms. This detail is responsible for much of the challenge that comes with playing maid - ditch there's the predict- able awkward running but bolding the broom also takes one arm pernm- neatly out of play. "To me, it's a little bit dangerous with the brooms," Beloff said after i watching his son play. The otherwise proud father speculated that it might be time for quidditch to add protective caps for mea. So far, the list of official "recommended" equip - PIOUS 10 MUM OESOLOVINAI ROO VW HAYING ME GATIE: Mike Kemck. above. controls the ball during a ouidditch game at UM.

How =all' does the game work? For non -Pot- ter fens. try visualizing an oval -shaped. half -shed soccer field where each teams' net is replaced by three basketball-heap-Ince spheres. The underlying principle is the same — ball goes in. points get scored (with a goalie -type playa standing in the way). In this case, the ball is a partially deflated vol- leyball known as a "muffle." While teamsoffensive players sentry about on their brooms attempting to acme goals, detersive players Imown as 'teet- ers" Walt tO sabotage any noting attempt by 'mock- ing the quaffle-bolder temporarily out of play. 'This is done throngb a mahod closely resem- bling dodgeball — beaters toss partially deflated dod- gebalh at opponents who are "knocked out" for a moment if they get hit. "In high school. I warn% allowed to play dodgeball," said UM's Levy. Back then. she said. dodgeball was frowned apse as "for &de kids.' Didn't somebody once say the same thing about Harry Potter? So quidditch is ... essentially soccer/basket- ball/dodgeball, right? Except there's more As all that guar and pseudo-dodgeball takes place on the field, three other players engage in a game of tag/flag football that also has points at stake - One of those playas assumes the role of the "Golden Snitch" featured in Harty Potter's pages. In the book. the snitch is a small, gold -colored ball with wings — whichever team catches it is rewarded with • healthy amount of points. and the game then concludes. In the land of Mugaes, the snitch is an actual per- son, dossed in yellow or gold. with an ability to run really fast. The snitch is rivio.d by a from each team, with both players attempting to catch" the snitch by grab- bing a tennis ball that hangs from the snitch's body, housed in a sock. Nabbing tbe snitch is harder than it may seem. The snitch is allowed to manager far off the playing field. in and around cam- pus, sad can use whatever be or she finds to aid the escape If the SOittil sees a bicycle, the snitch might hist snatch it After finally cornering the snitch during a recent practice at UM. quidditch player Sean Beloff returned panting and out of breath "He hid in bushes, and then he hid in a family." 8601(21dd...I saw him in the family...he jumped off a ledge, I followed him. and then I caught up to him a couple seconds later." 'STRENUOUS' Beloff has played vol- leyball in both high school and college.

The study, which is to be released Monday ahead of the Americas Confer- ence at the Biltmore Hotel, was compiled after doearchers sifted through zens of background papers submitted by polit- ical scientists and econo- mists from around the world. "The speed of the andrecovery in Latin America its resilience... can certainly be attributed partly to the growth of the region's commodity exports to emerging Asian saidAgusto dela Torre, oIleof the study's authors and chief economist for Latin Amer- ica and the Caribbean at the World Bank. "Assuming that Asian demand for soy exports from Argentina, iron ore from Brazil, copper from Chile, fish and minerals from Peru and other Latin American commodities keeps up, the region is on a strong position to profit from its natural res ources," he said. In fact, the study titled Natural Resources in Latin America and the Carib- bean: Beyond Boom and Bust, said during the boom the trade of countries in the region shifted away from sporting commodi- ties to rich nations toward trading with emerging economies. In 1990, for reample, 44 percent of the gion's commodity wealth was shipped to the United States. By 2008, that had fallen to 37 per- cent. During that same period, China's share of such exports rose from 0.8 percent to 10 percent. And China became Brazil's largest market for com- modities, gobbling up a third of the commodity sports of Latin America's largest nation in 2008. Some 93 percent of the Beyond booms and busts • In 2008, commodity exports for the seven largest countries in Latin America totaled nearly $400 billion and accounted for 52 percent of all exports. • In six of the largest countries, commodities contributed 10 to 49 percent of all revenue from 2004-2008. They are: Argentina (agricultural commodities), Chile (copper), Colombia (oil), Mexico (hydrocarbons),Peru (minin9), and Venezuela (hydrocarbons). • Most of the larger economies - Bolivia and Venezuela, for ample - were winners during the recent commodities boom but using a commodity trade price index, the study found there re also big losers such as El Salvador and Guatemala Source mo`m Bank study, Natural Resources on Latin Amman.. me carmneanr region's population lives fled economy. in unties that benefit • Opens an economy to from high commodity volatile boom and bust prices. cycles that aren't condu- But commodities have cive to long-term growth gotten a bad rap through • May poison a country's the years, the study said, institutions.
