The public have got used to hearing huge figures bandied around in terms of spending cuts — yet to date there have been few real cuts to front-line services.
That is now changing, /as we report today.
Teachers are being laid off. The A&E and maternity units at one London hospital face closure. London boroughs face a cut of more than 11 per cent, or £354 million, this year. Even the Olympic security budget will be scaled back as part of £330 million of cuts to the Metropolitan Police over the next two years.
The exact local impact will depend to some extent on councils. They must target bureaucracy before front-line services. They must also strive to protect the poorest Londoners from the impact.
Nevertheless, services will inevitably be hit — and life will become harder for the city's poor, the people most dependent on public provision. They will also be hit by the new cap on housing benefit payments.
The political fallout could be severe, especially for Liberal-Democrat councillors: people who voted for them as a local alternative to the two main parties are unlikely to view the Lib-Dems in the same way after the party has shared responsibility for the largest spending cuts in living memory.
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson is working hard to fight London's corner on capital-wide spending such as transport, as well as over housing benefit. That is the right thing to do for our city, but he will hope that it also puts some distance between himself and the Government in the run-up to the 2012 mayoral election.
Nevertheless, London will feel the impact of these cuts disproportionately. Our boroughs are being made to bear almost a third of the total national cut in grant to councils. To make the dynamo of the nation's economy suffer the most in this way is short-sighted.
Help for the poorest
The story of Les Persaud, which we report today, is an inspiring example of the kind of project that will benefit from this paper's Dispossessed fund.
His son Stefan was brutally murdered by gang members in Croydon, but instead of falling into despair or bitterness, Mr Persaud worked as a mentor to his son's friends, going on with them to found Potential.
The group is now running a project in three Croydon primary schools to turn children away from the path that leads to violence and gang culture. The grant made to Potential by the Dispossessed fund might sound small compared with any government project — just £3,700 — but it will allow the group to double its capacity and reach another 300 children.
This is exactly the kind of ultra-local, grassroots project the fund will support. Such projects work because they are designed and run by local people, targeted at specific local problems.
Of course, a city the size of London demands many such local projects to have a wider impact — but that is precisely what the Dispossessed fund aims to catalyse.
The £5 million we have raised is a testament to our city's generosity. And by helping Londoners like Les Persaud to help others, it will make a real difference.
Future queens
The Bill launched by Keith Vaz MP to change the royal succession laws tackles a serious anomaly.
Under existing tradition and law, women in the line of succession are automatically superseded by their brothers, even if a daughter is the eldest child. Our present Queen is as good an advert as anyone could wish for the capability and good judgment of female monarchs. The law should be changed.

Edward Hopper Quotes About PaintingQuotes about: Painting
One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.
The idea (for the painting 'Room in New York', 1932, ed.) had been in my mind a long time before I painted it. It was suggested by glimpses of lighted interiors seen as I walked along city streets at night, probably near the district where I live (Washington Square, New York, fh) although it's no particular street or house, but is really a synthesis of many impressions.

Moderate Acne
I am having acne from last 7 years, I have taken many medications. The condition of my skin improved for some months, but when acne came i started taking medication and again it went. My skin had been good since last 7-8 months but due to too much exposure to sun on a trip, it came back. I have cystic acne mostly , my dermatologist prescribed me doxycycline and two weeks are completed but I am not seeing any improvement also i have many new pimples on my forehead and cheek. So, are they because of antibiotics? I just want to get rid of these big bumps asap. Please suggest.

You seem to be suffering from grade 4 acne as you say you ate having cysts. These if left untreated will cause scarring. Doxycycline is indeed effective for acne but you have to be patient and keep faith in your doctor. Please follow the treatment meticulously. Do talk to your Dermatologist for some additional options like chemical peeling. Regards, Dr.Shruti Jadhav Devershi, Sólskin professional Dermacare, Kharadi, Pune

If Cameron fails in his "passionate" determination to preserve the Union, he gets a consolation prize: a generation of Tory governments in England. Ed Miliband's consensual commitment to the Union has a little self-interest in it: a swag of Scottish Labour MPs.
The other advantage for the poor fellow is that he can avoid being dragged round the chamber by his shirt collar because he's agreeing with the PM for once. Things are collapsing rapidly for the Labour leader. Last year, he got a big cheer from the PLP when he roundly declared he could beat David Cameron at the despatch box. The bigger cheer came yesterday when the Tories welcomed him to the despatch box with noisy – but ambiguous – approval. They now see what a strategic asset Ed – sweet, decent Ed – is for the Coalition.
He did not disappoint them. He didn't disappoint anyone. He is beyond disappointment. He is now in the zone of morbid curiosity.
He used his weary voice to ask why the Coalition had allowed the train companies to get away with an 11 per cent fare rise. Cameron answered in one sentence ("Because the power to do that had been given by the last government") and sat down.
At a critical moment, Ed might have scored by leaving his script and making Cameron answer the question: "If he thought our policy was so bad, why did he reinstate it?" He lost the exchange in the chamber with a plaintive delivery that said: "Why won't he listen to me, he's just not taking me seriously?"
Afterwards, it looked like he lost the argument on the franchise agreement as well (the Labour fare cap expired automatically, it was not overturned by the Coalition).
When the history of Ed's decline and fall is written, this will be a page in it. The one thing a policy wonk needs is a command of the detail. Indeed, his previous theme had been to crow at the PM: "He doesn't know the detail of his own legislation." Here Ed didn't know the detail of his own question.
Everyone says it is too difficult to unseat a Labour leader. A stalking horse would be a start. A suicidal mission, but honourable. We all remember the name of Sir Anthony Meyer. And those who don't can Google the man who brought down Mrs T.

Sakurasou - Requests for new threads
Since the Sakurasou forum is limited (only Mods and Admin can create new threads), this thread serves as a way to request a new thread to be created.
Please post here if you wish to request a new Sakurasou thread. Please bear in mind that we will only accept reasonable requests, we wish to maintain the focus within the forum and cut down on the noise (so no pointless threads cluttering up the place).
Don't forget that you may still post in existing threads as usual, the only restriction is that you may not create new threads within this particular forum.
Requesting for a [Favorite Quotes] thread :)
Because really, half the fun of this series comes when the characters say the darndest things :D
I'm curious if other viewers are concerned with the title, and how it may be turning off people before they even give the Anime a chance.
So, uh... A [Do you find the title to be detrimental to the series] thread? Perhaps worded a bit more neatly... Compact.
In that case, I am highly pleased to see that the people here are more open minded (aka don't get butthurt so easily)
How about a [Light Novel and Anime Comparisons]?
It helps to know which episodes are adapted from the LN and which are not.
Considering less than a handful of people here read the Light Novel... The LN thread or the Speculation thread might suffice...
No thread for the PSP/PS Vita game that comes out tomorrow/today? Blasphemy!
It's a visual novel released for both the PSP and Vita, where the player plays as Sorata and I would bet is a multi-ending game where you get together with a heroine (or whatever other whacky endings they come up with) like Ore no Imouto and Toradora.
Can a thread be made with the information regarding a chance of season 2? Content left, Sales, and anything that would either increase or decrease the chances of them making a second season.
The general discussion thread would be the best place for that since a season 2 thread would only be created for an officially confirmed season 2.
I would like to request a creation of a thread Sakurasou - Characters Discussion - The Kanda Family.
Currently, we do not have any Character Discussion threads for either Kanda Yuuko (Sorata's sister), Kanda Akiko (Sorata's mother), nor Kanda (Sorata's father).
Since none of these characters were that important in the whole series, I would sum them all up in one Character Discussion thread.
Now, if it is not a bother, I wrote the starting post of the thread:

Chara Babies
Ikuto's thinking of Amu?
Chapter four: Sudden Substitute
I assume it was a dream since it was a total nightmare.
Yoru was hanging on my mother's bronzed chandelier. Ran was on top of my head. God knows why! Ami was coloring on the dark brown walls and Amu was jabbering some nonsense on how smart she is. And when I noticed something sparkly…it turned out to be Amu having a ring! And I soon looked on my hand to find one also!
I vigorously kicked the sheets of the bed and blinked a couple of times to test reality. If that was a bad dream, then surely Amu moving in with her sister and us suddenly getting crying charas was a dream right? I shook the thought off of my head and hopped in the shower.
After taking a rather refreshing wash I wrapped my towel covering the waist down and grabbed my tooth brush. I squirted the paste onto my brush and started brushing my teeth. I decided to air out more air so I opened my door only to find a horrified Amu. Being half naked wasn't anything to be alarmed by. I was more pleased with an Amu with strawberry printed shorts and a nice matching spaghetti strap shirt.
I took my toothbrush out of my mouth and smirked. "Looking sexy in the morning as always."
She thrashed her arms up in the air angrily. "Shut up I was just here to wake you up! Now my eyes have seen the unthinkable!"
I leaned on the wall drawing closer her to her with a smile. "I'm glad you didn't think a body could be this good."
"Whatever just hurry up!" Amu screamed and headed for her room.
By the time I reached downstairs I saw an impatient Amu already glaring at me.
"Took you long enough. Hurry up and eat something before we go!"
I sat onto a stool next to her. "It's fine, I don't eat breakfast."
She shoved a box of cereal and bowl to me forcefully. "It's to start your day."
"I start my day with a cigarette."
Amu clubbed me in the head with the box of cereal. "Well, now on you are to start your day with cereal!"
"You're such a worrywart." I said and began pouring Coco Puffs into the bowl.
I noticed her spoon feeding Ami and thought of a humorous idea.
"Can you feed me Amu Koi?"
She bended the spoon and turned to look at me annoyed. "No!"
"Why?" I whined. "By the way, you owe me a spoon."
"Ugh!" She snapped at me and used the bended spoon to feed me.
I stopped her and smiled. "You didn't say "Say AHH."
She brutally cupped my mouth and screamed. "SAY AHHH!"
Before I knew it she was chugging down large amounts into my mouth causing me to almost choke. I gasped for air once she forcefully made me finish all the cereal.
"Okay," Amu said washing the dishes in the sink. "Now, what shall we do with the charas?"
I rubbed my stomach in pain. "Just put them in the back."
Amu snapped cracking the bowl. "Who puts children in the back of the yard?"
"VERY INTIMADATED PEOPLE!" I shouted annoyed.
"You idiot! You can't put kids in the yard!"
Ran and Yoru poked their heads out and floated at our side.
"It's fine, as long as we are in our egg we will sleep peacefully." Ran added.
Yoru agreed with her smiling. "Yeah, it's like we shut down when we're in our egg. Then, when you open us back up, we'll be turned on again."
"Amazing." Amu said fascinated.
"Seriously, I could have shut you down when you crying a long time ago." I said openly and Amu striked a punch at my back.
"Damn, that's the second time." I cursed.
We left Ran and Yoru in their egg and started to head to Ami's nursery school. Of course Amu sat in the back since she currently despised me. When we arrived Amu unbuckled her sister and kissed her.
"Ami, you be a good girl okay?" Amu said putting a hand on the top of the tot's head.
"Okay Onee Chan, love you!" Ami said with a smile and hugged her.
As Amu stood up Ami turned around and waved to me. "Bye Onii Chan, love you!"
She struck me surprised. It was kind of nice being like a family. Ami walked with a couple of little boys and Amu hopped into the car slamming the door.
"Now if I could just get you to say that." I joked and Amu rolled her eyes.
I parked at the front of the school and growled. "You're such an early bird, why do you need to be at this time anyways?"
Amu got out of the car and smirked. "What? Is someone being a worrywart?"
I narrowed my eyes annoyed and notice Tadase coming out of the school.
"Love you!" I yelled out to Amu.
She locked her demonic gaze at me and I drove off laughing.
"Hey!" I heard her call out. "No smoking and skipping!"
I exchanged a smirk to her. "Love you more!"
I stopped at a gas station to cruise around for awhile. There I bought a box of cigarettes and checked my text messages.
From Kukai: Just woke up. Where you at?
I texted him back taking my time.
Gas station across from the park. Bout to smoke. You hittin up?
I opened the box and looked around for my lighter. My phone buzzed in my pocket so I decided to look for it later.
Naww man, my Mom doesn't want me to anymore.
Growing amused over the text I shook my head and laughed.
Momma's boy. Then just skip.
I knew Kukai would reply sooner than usual since he really is a Momma's boy.
Don't talk about my Momma like that! So what! Alright, but I'm only skipping first since Pres got an eye for me.
Kind of ticked me off even if it didn't mean what I thought it meant. I disposed the fact that I was getting angry and just waited for Kukai to show up.
Kukai opened the car door happily. "Good morning."
"What's with the attitude?" I said smirking.
"Just got a really nice text that's all." Kukai added with a smile.
I chuckled. "You thought that text was me being nice?"
"No, it's from Amu." He said causing my laugh to die down.
As weird as it seemed I was smiling at the moment. "Why?"
"I guess she took it to heart when trying to cheer her up yesterday. Just read the text." He said boasting and showed me the text.
Hey Kukai, it's Amu. Firstly, I think it's weird that you have my cell number without my authorization. And secondly, thank you. It meant a lot to me for you helping me feel better. Talking about my past hasn't always been great, but thank you.
My chest tightened while reading the message. I had no idea, but I was angry, no fumed. Why did Kukai get a thank you message from Amu when I was the one who had the guts to do the kissy face?
"But, wait there's more." Kukai added cheerfully.
He looked through his texts and spoke happily. "I replied back saying it was no problem and if she ever needs any help she knows who to call."
That riddance smile was still stuck on my face. Kukai hovered his phone towards me and made me even angrier.
Thank you once again. And, I'll be sure to keep in touch.
What did she mean keep in touch? And if anything shouldn't I get a special text? I give her a home, a free job and what do I get? LECTURES!
"Pres is really cool." He said with a smile. "I'm glad she's our president."
"Yeah." I agreed solemnly.
I scribbled through the print outs furious. "Who does he think he is?"
Naghiko laughed. "Amu, what exactly did he do to make you so angry?"
"He said I love you while Tadase was there!" I snapped.
Crouching back every time I screamed; poor Naghiko was always there. "He was just joking though."
I scrunched up the papers. "Exactly, you should never play with a girl's heart like that!"
Naghiko ducked as I threw papers all over the place. He slowly moved back up. "Would you consider it to heart?"
My eyes were urging to pop out of my head and I burned red. "WHO WOULD?"
Tadase came seconds later looking confused. "What happened to the room?"
"A storm hit." Naghiko added and I glared at him.
Tadase and I met each others eyes and switched our gazes.
"So," Naghiko said getting up slowly then ran. "I should go!"
He was gone in a flash that I had no time to gather my thoughts and run myself. It was quiet for awhile.
"So," Tadase broke the ice.
"So," I added with a laugh. "Is the plans for the Festival fine?"
He looked at me with his beautiful face of his. "Yes, everything should be according to plan."
"That's great." I said and fled to the door.
"Amu Chan." Tadase said stopping me.
I turned around sharply. "Yes Tadase Kun?"
"Are you and Ikuto a thing?"
My brain erupted. There was no way in hell I would date that conniving preying monster. No way!
"No way, back there he just always being the total idiot he is, teases me a lot! Why were you worried?"
My last comment seemed to surprise him. I played around with my fingers while each word he made my heart flutter.
"I'm not now," Oh how much I wanted to charge him up and hug him. "But, I can't say it doesn't make me feel uneasy. But, I think it's because he's a trouble maker and he shouldn't mess with you a lot.
My heart dropped down. Of course he would add that last part. But, how I wish he would have the same feelings for me as I have for him.
I decided to take my leave the minute the bell rang. Stupid Ikuto I thought. Ignorant Ikuto. And here I was trying to thank you this morning!
BAM! I felt myself hit the chest of a tall person. No, it wasn't just one. I think I hit one causing a domino theory hitting another. I quickly got up and apologized while my mind was going hay wire.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" I bowed and cried out.
"Its fine Pres." Responded the voice of Kukai.
I boiled up seeing him as the source. I jerked him by the shirt. "I should've known it was you!"
"Pres," He said getting whipped back and forth. "Calm down."
"CALM DOWN? YOU WAN'T ME TO CALM DOWN?" I rapidly swung him around.
I heard a loud cough and dropped Kukai rushing to the person who was crushed.
"Oh my God Yamada I'm so sorry! I will pay for your health care!"
[In Shugo Chara episode. Soccer player]
Despite being hurt Yamada laughed and smiled at me. "It's okay Amu, although I think I can't make it to the festival."
"WHAT NO! MAYBE THERE'S A HEALING TOUCH!" I said lifting his leg up and prayed.
"I think you made it worse." Yamada added.
My nose smelt sensed smoke around the corner and I immediately new it was Ikuto.
"I missed Ryousuke take a tumble? Damn."
I charged him with full battle force. "It's your entire fault!"
"How is it my fault? I just got here?" He snapped at me.
I wasted a punch on him as he ducked. "It always is! Thanks a lot Ikuto!
He looked at me sharply. "Oh, now you thank me."
I crossed my arms and glared at him. "What are you rambling about?"
"Whatever." Ikuto said looking away.
"Miss Hinamori, what seems to be the problem?" Nikaidou Sensei said eyeing me.
I lifted myself off of Ikuto rapidly. "It's just that I need another person to participate in our Festival."
He shook his head disappointingly. "That's too bad Miss Hinamori, and here I was trying to help you with a scholarship."
"WHAT?" I shrieked. "HOW?"
"This scholarship would look exceptionally good on your resume. And, so I thought maybe if Hinamori would do an outstanding job as she always does. I could pitch in and help."
I pulled the sides of my hair out and slumped to the ground. "NO!"
"That's too bad." Sensei said walking away.
"Wait," I stopped Sensei and looked at the vile animal. "Ikuto will be the substitute."
Ikuto punched the locker. "Bet you I won't!"
Evidently, Sensei was more so pleased. "Mister Tsukiyomi, this might cover your community service."
"Sensei, you can't be serious!" Ikuto detached to his laid back frame.
"As serious as it gets Mister Tsukiyomi." Sensei said and walked off.
I have never seen Ikuto worked up…ever. I've never seen him to the point where he'd get angry, or so I've heard.
He slammed his fist onto the locker so hard that I thought it almost subsided.
I felt like leaving his violent acts by sneaking away, but discontinued upon hearing frightful chuckles.
"Yamada what event are you managing?" Ikuto glowered over to him.
Poor Yamada drew back a little frightened. "U-Uh, the haunted house."
"Perfect." Ikuto's icy words trickled words went down my very spine.
We flinched when Ikuto spun the opposite direction and left with another dark chuckle.
After that, school seemed to pass by quicker than usual. Maybe it was because I was worrying over what Ikuto was scheming. Luckily, when I made my way to the front of the school Kukai was there with Ikuto.
"Hey Pres!" Kukai hopped out of the front seat and greeted me warmly.
I smiled a little bit overjoyed. It's been awhile someone greeted me so warmly besides Ami. It felt nice.
I perked my head out to see Ikuto in the car with the windows down. He was aware of my presence, but did nothing of the sort to notice.
"Tsukiyomi." I overlooked at him stashing a finished cigarette.
"Hinamori." He said formal which left me shocked.
Never has he ever called me by my last name. What? Was he angry about participating in the fair?
"Umm, Amu why don't you sit in the front with Ikuto." Kukai smiled nervously.
The door opened to a click and Ikuto finally made his way out.
"No, better yet. Why don't you two sit in the back? Don't you have lots to talk about?" He piped his voice in such a high tone and slammed the door shut.
Kukai and I traded a converned look on our faces, and then headed in the car.
"Today was rather weird, wasn't it?" I tried my best to hold a smile, but it turned out rather awkward.
Kukai had both hands on the steering wheel and agreed. "Yeah…"
Silence emerged. Ikuto wasn't talking still. We knew something was wrong.
"So tell me about this festival you guys are hosting." Kukai questioned.
I answered truthfully, with no problems what so ever. "It's just a proactive event we do twice our school year to raise enough money for our school fund. We give a good fraction to the nearby hospitals and shelters. The more people participate, the better."
"The usual involvement with uptight elites." Ikuto answered hastily.
This struck a vein in my system...
I whipped my head back scolding Ikuto. "We're not uptight! We're conducted in a formal way which is to the right course of life! Not your mafia style life!"
Ikuto didn't buy any remorse and took out a pack of cigarettes.
"Won't you be useful and hand me my lighter?"
"NO I WON'T!" I snapped at him.
His eyes narrowed down unamused. "And you say you're not uptight."
"I'M NOT!" I cried out loudly.
I didn't hear Kukai trying to clutter some words into the two of us. We forgot his total occurrence. "Um, you guys?"
"You're so vile! How does a human endure so many cigarettes in one day! Why are you always getting yourself in trouble? Are you trying to KILL YOURSELF?"
Silence fled the car again. I looked to see Ikuto with eyes so full of intensity. The sun hitting his eyes and hair was awe dropping. It made him look amazing.
"Regardless if I was, it wouldn't matter right?"
His wandering eyes grasped the attention of mine as we starred at each other. He looked so serious when implying that. It kind of scared me.
Once he noticed me still speculating him, he laughed. "Just kidding."
He reverted back to silence and steadily fixed his attention outside of the window.
Oh God, Ikuto isn't trying to kill himself right?

From the Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis
1997 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment. Limitations of medical treatment have prompted development of nonpharmacologic therapies for this arrhythmia. These are aimed at ventricular rate control during atrial fibrillation, termination of the arrhythmia, and/or prevention of recurrences. Ventricular rate control can be achieved with transcatheter ablation or modification of the atrioventricular node. The MAZE operation is effective in preventing arrhythmia recurrence, but because it requires cardiac surgery, its appeal is limited. Development of the technique for direct transcatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is eagerly anticipated and may represent the standard curative treatment of the future. In appropriately selected patients, implantable device therapy may play an important role in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

|Food and Dining
|Poor variety, poor quality, hardly any specialty options. I was so excited about the "sushi bar" -- unless I missed something, it was at the end of the buffet line and had two kinds of rolls.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|No complaints here.
|Ship Quality
|Very clean but in two seperate public restrooms they were out of soap and/or paper towels two seperate times each.
|Service and Staff
|Couldn't understand most of the staff, but I imagine that's pretty typical for cruise lines who hire lots of international staff. Overall they were helpful and courteous with only a few exeptions.

Provides an account of Islam's contribution to the environment debate, born from the 1992 Earth Summit.
It admirably and largely successfully attempts to avoid abstraction ... I would recommend the book. The Environmentalist "A pioneer work to be commended. The author is at his most persuasive in the chapters which concern Islamic law, economic justice, and public interest. The author is sympathetic to calls for Christianity and Islam to join together in combating modern materialistic trends which are causing long-term damage to the welfare of human beings."

One of the most popular things to take note of when it comes to the showbiz elite is not just the various dramas that tend to follow these celebs around, but the amazing wardrobes that seem go with being rich and famous.
Unfortunately for us, the rich and famous are just that – rich, and they have wardrobes that we can only dream of.
We all flick through pictures of celebs online; attending glamorous events and premieres in ball gowns, or just heading out on the town in something a bit more casual, like boyfriend jeans and sneakers.
For most of us the likes of Burberry and Chanel are out of budget, but we've pulled together some high-street and online swap-ins, so you can get the celeb look without the celeb price.
Celeb style: get the look - in pictures

Group 1 winning mare Red Tracer has convinced Nash Rawiller that she is back in the right frame of mind for a first up tilt at the Group 1 $1.36m AAMI Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 7.
Trainer Chris Waller has given Red Tracer a freshen up since running third to Diamond Drille in the Group 1 $1m Cellarbrations Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on April 19 and Rawiller said that the mare felt great winning a 1030m Rosehill barrier on Tuesday.
"She seems in a really good frame of mind again,'' Rawiller told The Daily Telegraph.
Rawiller has been Red Tracer's regular rider over the past twelve months with the pair collecting two Group 1 victories but the leading Sydney jockey said that she didn't quite feel herself at the end of her Sydney Autumn Carnival campaign.
"The whole time I've been riding her, she's always been one of the most competitive mares you'd ride, but she didn't quite seem herself for a couple of runs in the autumn," Rawiller said.
Rawiller and Red Tracer shone during the Brisbane Winter Carnival last year with wins in the Group 2 $200,000 Patinack Farm Dane Ripper Stakes (1400m) and the Group 1 $500,000 Sky Racing Tattersall's Tiara (1400m) both at Eagle Farm and then took that winning form to Melbourne in the Spring with a win in the Group 1 $500,000 Myer Classic (1600m) at Flemington.
But Rawiller has a theory for Red Tracer's below par Autumn form and can pin point an incident shortly after the start in the Group 1 $500,000 Guinness Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick when she was badly interfered with.
"Whether that had something to do with a bad check in (the Canterbury Stakes), I'm not sure," Rawiller said.
"Judging by the past two trials, I think she's back from the brink."
Waller has less than a fortnight to have Red Tracer primed for the Stradbroke Handicap and Rawiller is happy with the mare's fitness levels as she attempts to regain her best form.
"She's in quite well at the weights (with 56kg in the Stradbroke), she's still got that residual fitness, so the 1400m will be no problem for her.''
Red Tracer is currently a $13 chance in the Stradbroke Handicap betting with the Victorian filly Srikandi heading the market order at $4.50.
Consistent Group 1 performer Rebel Dane is on the second line of betting at $7 just ahead of Hucklebuck at $8 and Doomben 10,000 winner Spirit Of Boom at $9 while Red Tracer's stablemate Catkins is marked as $10 chance with Knoydart at $11.

Pinot Noir
California Pinot Noir
> MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir Central Coast 2008 ]
Size: 750ml
The Central Coast winegrowing region runs along nearly 250 miles of stunning California coastline. The region extends from San Francisco in the north all the way down to Santa Barbara in the south. The Central Coast region is planted to over 100,000 acres of wine grapes and includes 27 distinct appellations such as Santa Rita Hills, Monterey, Santa Lucia Highlands, Santa Barbara County, and San Luis Obispo County. The cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the diversity of soil types found in the Central Coast produce site-specific Pinot Noir grapes that lend themselves to blending harmonious wines.
Grapes from premier Central Coast vineyards including Olson Ranch in the Santa Lucia Highlands contributed to the final blend of this wine. A Pinot with classic aromas from the cool micro- climates of the Central Coast, this wine showcases flavors of red cherry, cola, and briar complimented by nuances of sweet vanilla.

In the year 2000 I boarded a plane to Taiwan for an adventure-year of teaching. My original motivation was a financial one. I had just completed my studies and it seemed like the best way to pay off my mountain of study debt in the shortest possible time. Little did I know that the experience would turn out to be so much more and that - the one year would turn into ten.
I achieved my financial goals within the first year in Taiwan. Not only did I pay off my debt, but I had a good life in a country where the cost of living was cheap and the salaries so much more than I would have ever earned back home. I decided to stay another year and bought a house back home. The two years turned into three and before I knew it the three years into seven.
Even more than the financial benefits, I saw myself grow as a person and an educator. The things I took for granted before, I started to appreciate. Friendships became deeper and every place I visited in my travels around Asia enriched my views about people and the world. As a teacher I learned skills that I would have never acquired if I stayed back home.
After my seventh year in Taiwan I took a trip to the Philippines where I met the love of my life. I moved to Korea two months later to join him where he was living his own expat life. After teaching in Korea for two years I was appointed as supervisor of one of the branches of the largest language institutes in the country. This enabled me to practice the management skills that I studied in the postgraduate degree I completed just a year earlier through a correspondence course.
I am now married, better qualified, experienced and happier than I could ever be. I have experienced more in the last ten years than I could have ever imagined. My experience of living and teaching abroad not only made me a better teacher, but also a better citizen of the world.

Ricky Gervais Praises the Late Robin Williams
People all over the world have been grieved by the passing of Robin Williams, and English comedian Ricky Gervais had some kind words about the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star during his interview on "This Morning" today (August 13).
The "Office" mastermind gushed about Williams, who died on Monday, calling him "one of the loveliest men I've ever met."
Ricky continued, "Even when he wasn't well, he would just try his best to make you laugh - you could see it was a chore almost but he'd absolutely love it."
"I did a benefit gig with him and there were loads of new comedians that we hadn't heard of, and he spent the whole night at the side of the stage watching them - you could hear him laughing louder than anyone - and they were just blown away. He was a legend. Amazing. It's really sad."

Looking for an owner (or future owner) of Energy Star appliances
I'm working on a story about the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's rebate program. Basically, if you buy an Energy Star washer, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer or room air conditioner between April 16 and April 25 at certain retailers around the state, you'll instantly receive 15 percent off. The program is funded through stimulus money and obviously has a goal of keeping purchases local.
But I'm missing an angle I'd like to include in my story: the experience of someone who owns an Energy Star appliance.
(Of course, I think I'm going to take this opportunity to buy myself a refrigerator and get it painted red instead of ordering an expensive, retro-style model. But I can't really interject my own plans or experiences into the story, so I'm looking for someone else.)
So if you have an Energy Star appliance or plan to use this opportunity to buy one, will you e-mail me by this afternoon or Tuesday morning? I'd love it if you would.

President's Message
Darla Miller, Virginia ACTE President
Greetings! Let me begin by introducing myself to you. My name is Darla Miller, and I am your current president of the Virginia Association for Career and Technical Education (Virginia ACTE). Career and Technical Education has been a part of my life since I enrolled in my first agriculture class in the eighth grade. I was active in agriculture and the FFA throughout my high school career and, upon graduating from high school, spent four years at Virginia Tech working on a bachelor of science degree from the College of Agriculture and earning a teaching certificate. Becoming a veterinarian was my career goal, but like many of the students that I work with on a daily basis, sometimes we have to look at other options as well—as I like to call it, a "Plan B." So I opted for "Plan B" and spent a total of 15 years teaching agriscience to middle school students, with a stop along the way to earn a master's in education.
When all was said and done, I finally landed my dream job as principal of a regional technical center. Why is it my dream job, you may wonder. Well, I have the opportunity to impact students' lives daily. And you may now be saying, so what? All high school principals do that on a daily basis. I would agree with you, except for the fact that, unlike a comprehensive high school principal, I am able to make an immediate impact on workforce readiness training, whether that involves assisting students in seeking employment or furthering their education. And, because of what you do on a daily basis, either as a classroom teacher or as a program administrator, you also have the ability to impact the lives of so many young people.
Virginia ACTE's mission states that we are dedicated to expanding relevant and rigorous Career and Technical Education programs, enhancing leadership among our members, and influencing public policy for the benefit of Career and Technical Education students and professionals and developing a competitive workforce in the Commonwealth. I encourage each of you to reflect on what you do in your career to help promote Virginia ACTE's mission statement. Also, I encourage each of you to reflect on what you do on a daily basis to promote your own division's mission statement.
When the students in the graduating class of 2022 receive their diplomas, they will have met the graduation requirements passed in 2016 that were designed to ensure they receive the knowledge, skills, competencies, and experiences to make them "life-ready" during their K-12 education. What that means has to yet to become finalized, but I know one thing for sure: Career and Technical Education has the opportunity to take the lead in helping students become "life-ready." I know this because we are already providing that opportunity in the courses we offer, the career and technical student organization (CTSO) experiences provided, the work-based learning afforded, and the numerous other "life-ready" experiences we make available to our students. To make sure we take the lead, we must be able to work together as one, in our individual divisions and as a collective group. Power is in the numbers.
So, I close with this thought by Henry Ford: "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." Join your division and Virginia ACTE today, and let's work together for success.

Deals of the day -- mergers and acquisitions
April 2 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 2000 GMT on Tuesday:
** Glencore said it had extended again the date by which it expects to close its merger with Xstrata to May 2, due to the ongoing investigation into the deal in China.
Glencore has been waiting for several months for China, the biggest buyer of the materials it trades and mines, to give the go-ahead before it can complete its $35 billion acquisition of miner Xstrata, the largest deal in the sector to date.
** Japanese trading house Marubeni Corp has again been forced to delay the closure of its $5.6 billion purchase of U.S. grain merchant Gavilon because Chinese regulators have not finished their appraisal of the transaction.
** Nordic telecom operator Tele2 defended a decision to sell its Russian unit for $3.5 billion and spurn a higher offer from one of Russia's wealthiest businessmen. Continued...

While my thoughts should be remembering the attack on our country 13 years ago, they are on the headlines of this paper two days ago…
The structure of county government was on the Newton County Board of Commissioner's (BOC) agenda again at its Sept. 2, 2014 meeting. It was on the secret agenda of District Commissioner Levie Maddox, that is. As readers may recall, this has been a topic of discussion since February and the BOC has met with experts from both the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission several times. Representatives of both clearly have indicated that having both a full time commission chairman and a county manager should be changed to improve the efficiency and ...

Malt, hops, yeast and water. That's all our brewers need to make great beer. Well, that's what they have us think…
Our latest Rare Breed is dedicated to the unsung hero of the brewing process: amylase, or Captain Amylase, as we like to call him.
Amylase is an enzyme that naturally occurs in the malt, breaking down the carbohydrates into sugar, which feeds the yeast and kick starts fermentation.
We gave the Captain a big job, making his namesake a big, malty Porter, and added a splash of dark rum at the end for fun!
This is a classic American style Imperial Porter, dark and full bodied with a chocolaty aroma. The malt-rich flavour is complimented by the subtle sweetness from the rum and some molasses, and winds up with a gentle, lingering finish.
Captain Amylase was first brewed exclusively for The Great Australasian Beer Spectacular 2016 (GABS) and we were so pleased with the response we received we knew we had to share it with everyone.
Available in 640ml bottles, with a 7.7% ABV, Captain Amylase was made for sharing.
Release date: June 2016
Availability: At the brewery and all good craft beer stores.
Style: Imperial Porter

Tendulkar yesterday became the first player to cross the 12,000 run mark in the longer version of the game with a tally of 12,027 runs.
''There'll always be people who break records because nowadays they play more Test matches than ever, more one-day internationals,'' he pointed out.
Tendulkar climbs 'Mount Lara'
''It was inevitable that people like Lara and Tendulkar - two of the great players of the last few years - would break records of some distinction almost every other year or two.'' Boycott said had it been the case, then he too broke a record set by Gary Sobers by crossing the 8,000-run mark in Tests ''but it didn't make me a better player than Garry Sobers and it won't make Tendulkar a better player than Bradman, a genius - the best batsman of the lot.'' ''I broke Garry Sobers' record and I said at the time that if you play enough Test matches and you're pretty good at what you do then you'll break records,'' he added.
However, the Englishman said he remains extremely fond of Tendulkar for the way he has been conducting himself both on and off the field.
''Tendulkar has handled publicity very well. In India, where they're mad on cricket, it'd be easy to get sucked into it, but he's managed to keep a private life and kept that at arms length from his public life and it's nice for him,'' he added.

Ranchi, Mar 4 (UNI) The third Supplementary Budget of the Jharkhand Government was today passed by voice vote in the state Assembly amidst Opposition boycott.
Deputy Chief Minister and in-charge of finance department Stephen Marandi said about Rs 174 crore of the total budget would be incurred under non-planned expenditure.
Mr Marandi further said about Rs 56.89 crore would be spent for the centrally aided National Agricultural Development Programme.
Besides, the Budget included expenditure on salaries of non-teaching staff of minority educational institutions and a few other small projects, Mr Marandi informed the House.
Earlier, Mr Saryu Rai (BJP) moved a cut motion, stating that budget included trivial expenditure.
The Opposition members staged boycott after the cut motion fell down.

Jessica Chastain on 'A Most Violent Year' and Hollywood's Woman Problem
Jessica Chastain on 'A Most Violent Year' and Hollywood's Woman Problem
Dick Cheney, really?
Wow. Chastain's publicist has been busy in the comments section.
She's like a gift to humanity. I love her with all my heart. She's clearly a lovely human being, an immensely talented actress and a gorgeous woman. Bless her. I wish her all the best, I really do.
Jessica Chastain is an incredible force to be reckoned with and I agree with her whole heartedly. I'm actually raising funds for my own film as a lady director. I took it upon myself to cast an Asian American man, a gay man, and a Latina as my three leads. In a horror film like mine, that is completely unheard of. But if I inspire even a few people and give the under-represented a chance to shine, then it will all be worth it! We're actually still raising money for it until Friday Dec 19th. Feel free to check it out on Kickstarter(dot)com under "Ranger Danger." Amazing thought provoking article as usual IndieWire!
I just love her. I think she's a fantastic actress, human being, and I wish her all the best.
Also, I did not know about the male roles that were transformed into female roles. That was really great to read about!!
Wow thank you for this article. I really enjoyed reading it all! Jessica is such a terrific human being and I am glad you guys keep writing about problems in the industry that are gender related (like the lack of females in cinematography). I am so excited for Jessica to work with Dolan! It will be terrific.

"Oxfam's view is that someone who supports the two-state solution should not be promoting economic ties with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Johansson's view, apparently, is that it's ok to claim that you support a two-state solution and then turn around and promote economic ties with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, thereby bolstering and normalizing the occupation."Johansson endorses Sodastream, which has one of many factories in the West Bank. This is classic pro-BDS hyperbole: Johansson is not in favor of promoting economic ties with Israeli settlements or of bolstering and "normalizing" (a Palsbarist's favorite word) any occupation. Yes, she supports Sodastream's factory because, according to her, it treats Israeli and Palestinians workers equally and builds bridges. Apparently Naiman would prefer both sides spend all day living apart and hating each other. But that hardly means that Johansson supports the settlements in general or the occupation. Claiming that she does is just dishonest; a classic Robert Naiman move. Having made one big statement, he doubles down on another:
"Oxfam's view is normative among sincere advocates of a two-state solution. Johansson's apparent view is marginal among sincere advocates of a two-state solution."Pretty much the entire world wants a two state solution. More of them agree with Johansson than with Oxfam. The so-called "limited boycott" is a relatively new thing and most countries aren't in favor of it. What most countries have come to accept is that most settlements will stay under Israeli control. Here's the proof. So you can refuse to do business with settlements if you really really want to, but it isn't going to make a difference. Besides, even if you didn't buy from products made in settlements, settlers only live there, they don't always work there. As I have said many times before: you aren't going to get 500,000 people to just pack up and leave. But Israel haters like Naiman have never had particularly realistic goals. The big statements continue of course:
"By claiming to support a two-state solution while helping to bolster the occupation, Scarlett Johansson is acting as a Susan Collins for the occupation, pretending to be moderate, while acting to bolster extremists."Who exactly are these "extremists" that Johansson is "bolstering?" Or is that just something we say about anyone who disagrees with us? Perhaps Naiman is referring to people who want to support Palestinian jobs, people who don't think that boycotts work, or people who just aren't as left-wing as he is? Who knows. After providing some free advertising for various anti-Israel social media letters to Santa, he signs off. Hopefully we won't be seeing him again any time soon.

Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) proved to be useful for the three-dimensional tracking of fluorescence signals in biological model organisms with sizes up to several millimeters. This tomographic technique detects absorption as well as fluorescence to create multimodal three-dimensional data. While the absorption of a specimen is detected very fast usually less than 0.1% of the fluorescence photons are collected. The low efficiency can result in radiation dose dependent artifacts such as photobleaching and phototoxicity. To minimize these effects as well as artifacts introduced due to the use of a CCD- or CMOS- camera-chip, we constructed a Scanning Laser Optical Tomograph (SLOT). Compared to conventional fluorescence OPT our first SLOT enhanced the photon collection efficiency a hundredfold.

That is a WRAP. MR. NASTY = 457, GREEN LINE 511. That is a definate OOPS ! !
I think I will be using all UP-SIDE Reactions to open some SHORTS. My current shorts held over from before are Unilever and THE GAP [ UN & GPS]. Certainly tonite as I scan and filter, my emphasis will be balanced btwn Shorts and Longs, some of which might make it into the PEAK PERFORMANCE REPORT, published to that blog.
No doubt we are going to be shaken, stirred, folded, spindled and mutilated until this shakeout is finished. Should the US Dollar try to make a run for an index high of 95, it likely go hand in hand with a serious decline in US Equity markets as well as a serious surpression of the gold price. Looking forward, from partial scans of mine, I like Auzion Mines Ltd, Dennison Mines Ltd, and Richmont Mines Inc.
Also on this list was Golden Star Resources, but they have consistently been able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so I have them on hold until I see some positive reinforcement from them.
Is it a wrap? LETS SEE
Image via Wikipedia
Well is it a WRAP or isnt it? Well Mr. Nasty dropped right dead thru its GREEN LINE, and seems to be sinking @ 508, below the GREEN LINE which is at 529, basically 4% below the GREEN LINE. Decisive? I'd say yes, further if the FEDS plan to save the dollar it is logical for the market to decline, which creates the seemingly odd situation of the market and gold declining together, more or less, or is it odd at all?
Basically if liquidity is a part of this play at all, it would not be all that unusual for, in this era, for the general market and gold stocks to decline hand in glove.

First and foremost, a simple introduction for HTNet's non-Malaysian visitors; TM: a monsterous Malaysian GLC, which holds an almost total monopoly on fixed telephone lines and broadband internet access in Malaysian. If you think these guys can't be good, you're absolutely right. To put it simply, they're like Microsoft, minus the innovation and R&D.
Anyway, TM decided to slap a poor guy with a bill for RM806.4 trillion (roughly US$212 trillion)! Unsuprisingly, Yahaya Awab was shocked when he received the bill… it's just slightly below ten times of Malaysia's GDP.
I've heard about hundreds of tales regarding the incompetence and stupidity of TM, but this one is the best one ever.

Diversity Changes For Established Characters

|Diversity Changes For Established Characters
|(Blog) (Forum)
|(Back) (Next)
In the past four days, Comicvine has had two different articles concerning diversity changes for established characters. The first was "Spoiler: Marvel Reveals the New Ultimate Spider-Man," by Mat 'Inferiorego' Elfring, and the second was "Laurence Fishburne is the New Perry White in Man of Steel," by Tom Pinchuk. Check them out, if you haven't already done so, because both articles sparked some hot debate. They certainly got me thinking, and what I decided is that while I like neither change, one is done the right way, and one is not.
First, let's get something out of the way: I'm a white guy. It's not about that though. As is so often the case with me, it's about the writing. That said, let's get down to it.
The two articles mentioned above talk about diversity changes from two different angles. The Ultimate Spidey article gives us Angle #1: a new, different character replacing the established character. In this case, Miles Morales is somehow replacing Ultimate Peter Parker as Spider-Man. This sort of change in secret identity is called "passing the mantle," or "picking up the mantle," and in and of itself, isn't a bad thing. When the established character is being replaced by their sidekick, or by their child, we have commonly come to call that a "legacy character." In the case of Miles Morales, this is picking up the mantle. He's not a legacy character, because he wasn't Parker's sidekick or child, and it's not passing the mantle, because Parker didn't give him the Spider-Man identity (unless one of those is done through retcon).
While I think "picking up the mantle" is the weakest of the three, after "legacy character" and "passing the mantle," it's still an organic, in-story way of replacing an old character with a new character. The new character being of another ethnicity is fine, but too often, it comes off as a gimmick for sales, rather than as a good reason in the story. It's also harder to explain. How does someone from a plainly different background happen to have the same powers as the character they are replacing? Even if the character happens to be related to the hero, but appears to be of a different ethnicity, as in the case of Connor Hawke, the writer then has to convince the reader that by some remarkable fluke, the relative has developed the same skills as the hero they are coming in to replace, without being mentored by the hero. Frankly, we accept this in comics all the time, but I always find it less believable when the character isn't a legacy character. Despite me calling it weak plausibility, as far as writing, it's still a legitimate way to go.
The Fishburne article gives us Angle #2: a character of different ethnicity being substituted as the same character. In this case, it's an African-American actor playing a caucasian character. Because Mr. Pinchuk's article is about a movie, the issue is really two issues: 1) Caucasian characters being played by actors of other ethnicities, and 2) caucasian characters being randomly replaced by other ethnicities. Whichever issue you go for, it's either 1) bad casting, or 2) bad writing.
In the case of the actor, will they play a good role? More than likely. Specific to Laurence Fishburne: absolutely. But if X-Men had been cast with a white Storm, Chinese Wolverine, and black Magneto, everyone would have said, "bad casting." Why is it not being said for the character of Perry White? I'm sorry, Mr. Fishburne looks nothing like the character of old white guy, Perry White. I understand they're casting for big name actors in the movie, but why not Harrison Ford (who recently played an old white guy in Cowboys and Aliens), Tom Selleck (best known for Magnum P.I., but recently played an old white guy in CBS's Blue Bloods, and in their Jesse Stone movies), or even Sean Connery (former James Bond and played yet another old white guy in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)? I can more easily accept Connery's accent than I can the completely wrong appearance of Fishburne.
Because we're talking about a movie here, with living, breathing people, the issue gets a little muddled with people's opinions on actors' rights, clique exclusivity, and social changes. If you take it back to the comics though, it would be absolutely wrong to suddenly make major changes to the appearance of your character. I'm not talking about a difference in drawing styles, I'm talking about major changes, like a change from caucasian to African-American, or a change from African-American to Plutonian, or from man to woman (or vice versa to any of those). It's simply bad writing, and in the movies, it's bad casting.
In some cases, the caucasian characters who are changed to ethnicities make no sense, from a historic perspective. Simply put: racial bias of the times is why the characters were originally white, and that's also why historically, a non-white person would not have been in that character's position. For me, this goes back to continuity issues, as discussed in an earlier blog. That is, if there were real continuity, rather than rebooted universes every ten years or so, then those titles that were dominated by caucasian characters could be changed more organically. Older characters could die or retire, and diversity could be represented in a way that reflects the times.
