Edinburgh: A second Scottish independence referendum is "highly likely" and should take place before Britain leaves the European Union, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Friday.
Scotland voted to stay in the EU by 62 to 38 percent in a referendum on Thursday, putting it at odds with the United Kingdom as a whole, which voted 52-48 in favour of leaving.
"It is a statement of the obvious that the option of a second independence referendum must be on the table and is on the table," Sturgeon told a news conference.
"As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against her will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable," she added. "I think an independence referendum is now highly likely."
Scots rejected independence from the rest of the United Kingdom by 55 to 45 per cent in a 2014 referendum, but since then Sturgeon's pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) has surged, winning several elections.
EU membership was one of the key issues in 2014, with those campaigning for Scotland to stick with the United Kingdom arguing that an independent Scotland would not be able to remain a member of the bloc.
Sturgeon said many Scots who had voted against independence for that reason were now re-assessing their decision.
"I want to make it absolutely clear today that I intend to take all possible steps and explore all options to give effect to how people in Scotland voted (on Thursday), in other words to secure our continuing place in the EU and in the single market," she said.
"If (Scotland's) parliament judges that a second (independence) referendum is the only way to protect our place in Europe it must have the option to hold one within that timescale," Sturgeon said.
She said it was "inconceivable" that Britain's central government in London would stand in the way of a second referendum if it was the will of Scotland's devolved parliament, which the SNP dominates.
Splitting Scotland from the UK would end three centuries of shared history, upending another successful economic relationship shortly after the now-impending divorce between Britain and the EU.
Most voters in Northern Ireland also voted to remain and Irish nationalist leaders there called for a poll on leaving the United Kingdom and uniting with Ireland.
Calling a new Scottish vote would not be quick or simple and the SNP, tempered by caution since Sturgeon took over as leader, would want to first ensure a new vote could be won.
Where the last Scottish independence campaign fell down is widely considered to be the economic argument.
An independent Scotland would, it was projected at the time, stick with its old currency,
Britain's pound, with national finances underpinned by an oil price then over $100 but now roughly half that level.
Sturgeon would have to build a robust economic independence strategy to convince those emotionally persuaded to leave in 2014 but not economically so.
She would also have to make sure that the maelstrom around Britain's EU exit does not sweep away some of the support the SNP currently enjoys. In a nationwide election in 2015, the SNP won 56 out of the 59 seats in parliament in London that represent Scotland.

History of Stockton, California
Stockton, California, was established on the edge of a deep-water port, at the head of the San Joaquin River. Captain Charles Weber made the initial discovery and named it Tuleberg in 1847. Tuleberg was changed to Stockton in 1847. The name Stockton came from the desire to honor Commodore Robert Stockton. Its citizens, having a great respect for the man, had no problem with the name change. Most of them having resided there for only a few weeks prior to the change.
Over the years, the city grew as a major depot for miners during the California Gold Rush. The California gold rush brought large numbers of people to Stockton; many found it a very desirable place while passing through and decided to stay.
With the large increase in population during the 1870s and 1880s, the economy in Stockton became widespread, creating many sources of income. Although the economy was widely diversified, Stockton's agriculture did continue to grow at a rapid rate, becoming the quickest growing industry the city had ever seen.
It was not long into the 1900s that the national railroad companies took notice to the needs of the cities in California. The railroad companies ran tracks to many of the cities that were becoming, or were forecasted to become, the largest industrial hubs of their area. This new development of transportation to the city fortified Stockton's position as an agricultural hub for the entire nation.
Although agriculture became the city's primary industry, many other industries utilized the railroad, and continued over the years to prosper because of the railroad. Some of those industries include electronics, lumber, plastics, and automobile products.
Over the years, technology has brought new developments in transportation to Stockton. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport has served Stockton with an invaluable source of transportation for goods and for the public.
There are many attractions in Stockton, including museums and festivals. A few of those attractions are the Haggin Museum, the Children's Museum of Stockton, and the Oak Grove Nature Center. Every year, the Asparagus Festival takes place in town and an annual parade.
Stockton is home to many fine institutes, including the University of the Pacific, built in 1851; Humphreys College, built in 1896; and a branch of the California State University-Stanislaus, built in 1957.

13 "Woe to you, Chora'zin! woe to you, Beth-sa'ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Caper'na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. 16 "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
Meditation: If Jesus were to visit your community today, what would he say? Would he issue a warning like the one he gave to Chorazin and Bethsaida? And how would you respond? Wherever Jesus went he did mighty works to show the people how much God had for them. Chorazin and Bethsaida had been blessed with the visitation of God. They heard the good news and experienced the wonderful works which Jesus did for them. Why was Jesus upset with these communities? The word woe is also translated as alas. It is as much as an expression of sorrowful pity as it is of anger. Why does Jesus lament and issue a stern warning? The people who heard the gospel here very likely responded with indifference. Jesus upbraids them for doing nothing! Repentance demands change a change of heart and way of life. God's word is life-giving and it saves us from destruction the destruction of soul as well as body. Jesus' anger is directed toward sin and everything which hinders us from doing the will of God. In love he calls us to walk in his way of truth and freedom, grace and loving-kindness, justice and holiness. Do you receive his word with faith and obedience or with doubt and indifference?
"Most High and glorious God, enlighten the darkness of our hearts and
give us a true faith, a certain hope and a perfect love. Give us a sense
of the divine and knowledge of yourself, so that we may do everything in
fulfilment of your holy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Prayer of
Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226)

Cracking down
Army will purge soldiers who fail APFT, weight standards
By Lance M. Bacon
The Army is trimming the fat.
Beginning Nov. 1, soldiers attending Professional Military Education must pass the Army Physical Fitness Test and meet height/weight standards. Those who fail will be given a second chance within seven to 24 days. Soldiers who fail a second time will be: ■ Ineligible for re-enlistment and promotion.
■ Booted from the course.
■ Subject of a letter to the first general in their chain of com*mand.
■ Identified as a course failure on DA Form 1059.
■ Banned from PME for six months. If a soldier fails again, he will be banned for a year.
The new rules are contained in Army Directive 2012-20.
Army leadership for the past year has repeated the warning that unfit soldiers would be among the first to face the ax as the ser*vice begins to cut 80,000 soldiers over the next five years. Officials are unapologetic in their plans to retain only those soldiers with the greatest potential.
As operations diminish, the Army is recommitting itself to retaining and promoting soldiers who are fit to fight and project a professional appearance.
This is about the Army profes*sion, said Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dailey, command sergeant major of Training and Doctrine Command. TRADOC led a study of our profession over the last year and a half, and we consistently heard from soldiers that the Army must enforce the standard at all times not just when its conve*nient. This policy change is a big step forward for the profession. Brig. Gen. Todd McCaffrey, director of Army Training, was more to the point.
In 2007, when the Army was fighting two simultaneous conflicts, we instituted a physical fitness waiver for institutional training courses regardless of temporary fitness issues or post-deploy*ment recovery and reset cycles, he said. We accepted this risk, rather than send an untrained or unschooled soldier back to their units. With the war winding down, he said the Army enforce standards at the unit level and require soldiers attending PME to meet Army Phys*ical Fitness Test and Height/Weight standards for graduation.
That same focus was in force in the decade following the 1991 Per*sian Gulf War. Nearly 20,000 sol*diers were discharged from 1992 to 2001 for failing to meet weight standards, according to the 2009 Military Services Fitness Data*base report.
It is not clear how many soldiers will be affected by the new rules, but the pickings are anything but slim. More than one-third of sol*diers do not meet height/weight standards, according to a 2009 report, Military Services Fitness Database: Development of a Com*puterized Physical Fitness and Weight Management Database for the U.S. Army. PT may not be the most impor*tant thing a soldier does in a day, but it is the most important thing a soldier does every day, Dailey said.
Targeting misconduct
Fat and unfit soldiers are not the only ones in jeopardy.
Soldiers with patterns of miscon*duct will not be retained, top lead*ers have said. This includes 4,877 soldiers who have committed mul*tiple felonies while on active duty.
The Army also is taking a hard look at 78,262 criminal offenses committed by active-duty soldiers in fiscal 2011 specifically, the 2,811 violent felonies and 28,289 nonviolent felonies.
Roughly 13,800 junior soldiers (E-1 to E-4) were responsible for 68 percent of violent felonies and 78 percent of nonviolent felonies. Noncommissioned officers (E-5 to E-6) committed 24 percent of vio*lent felonies and 16 percent of nonviolent felonies.
Together, those two groups were responsible for 90 percent of crimes committed by soldiers. □

We've all been there. I think. I'm really not sure. Some people are embarrassed by it and would rather not talk about it (let alone, admit it happens to them). What am I talking about you ask? Light bladder leakage. There. I said it. I'm not even sure if men experience this or not but women do!
You might not think it happens until you're older. Maybe you are a lucky one and it will just pass you right up. Some of us have to face the facts. The first time I experienced light bladder leakage was when I was pregnant with my first baby. I was very young – too young to have a baby, that is for sure. It never happened after that until I was pregnant with my second baby and then my third. After that, it all went downhill. Having all those babies did something to my body. Well, it did many things but we're talking bladder damage right now.
As the years go by, my allergies seem to get worse. Nope, I'm not changing the subject. What comes with allergies? Sneezing! Not just any sneezing… I sneeze like twenty times in a row. No joke. When I feel a sneezing attack come over me, I have to stop, cross my legs and hope for the best.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have light bladder leakage daily or anything. It's occasional but that is why I've never sought out a solution – until now. A solution never crossed my mind. My allergies don't seem to have a solution. I've tried everything.
I always thought to protect my undies and clothing, I would need to wear a big, thick maxi pad or an adult diaper of some sort. I'm not down with all that. There is light at the end of this tunnel. Poise Microliners. They are thin, light and won't weigh you down. They sound pretty perfect for the occasional light bladder leakage, right?!

Tell me the truth, have you experienced light bladder leakage?

Niepoort Port, 2013
BIOMA Vinha Velha Vintage Port
Description and Reviews:
Bioma "Vinha Velha", is a single vineyard Vintage Port from aged vines at Vinha da Pisca (mostly + 80 years old), which is cultivated organically. A hot site, which produces impressive tannins, it formed the backbone of Niepoort Vintage Ports for many years. However,the best parcels were set aside for this wine in 2013, 2011, 2009, 2008 and (known then as Pisca) in 2007. Like Niepoort Vintage Port, Bioma was 100% foot trodden with 100% stems. It was then aged in pipes (550 litre)and will be bottled in the third year after the harvest (2016) which, says Niepoort, is what happened in the "old days" when wines were shipped to England in pipes, and bottled later. Though tight on the nose, Bioma is headily perfumed in the mouth with violets running through it. It's dark and spicy, the tannins grainy – more textural – the fruit concentrated with a very fresh presence. Bioma is relatively inwardly focused as yet – it has much more to give in future years.

Two years ago, in the beginning of 2010, Jonathan Musgrove was abusing drugs and alcohol on a daily basis. He remembers, "I sacrificed everything to stay high." His unstable lifestyle brought him to isolation: "My fiancé and son required too much of me, so I left. My parents couldn't handle my deceitfulness, and they kicked me out." Basically homeless, six months into the year, he stepped into Scranton Rescue Mission for a meal. Here, he encountered God's love and faithfulness, and, after speaking with a chaplain, heard about the Mission's residential recovery program.
Jeff Kolsch knew he wanted to work in Christian ministry helping the poor, like at a rescue mission. After becoming the director of Donor Relations at the NYC Rescue Mission he found out City Vision College was part of AGRM. He thought it'd be helpful to enroll in order to further his education and continue his work in a field he loves. Like most people who enroll, he was attracted to CVC's course material on rescue missions, it was affordable, and it was online. He graduated with a B.A. in Missions, Administration, and Operations.

2011 Ford Edge Limited
Market Fact
Twin to the Lincoln MKX. Based on the Ford Fusion, which itself is derived from the last-generation
Mazda 6.
The 2011 Edge, a thorough mid-cycle remake of the vehicle launched in 2007, features numerous
mechanical updates, revised styling and and all-new cabin.
Key Competitors
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Murano.
Optional 20 inch wheels look great but don't do much for ride comfort
The 285 horsepower 3.5L V6 is smooth, flexible and produces abundant power, though some
drivers remarked on a lack of torque at low speeds. The V6 is well matched to a slick shifting
six-speed automatic transmission with a manumatic function triggered by a little disc on the
shift lever. While not sporty in any way, the Edge handles predictably once you
begin to trust it, which takes time, as drivers are initially wary of its prodigious bulk. The Edge's
steering has a reassuring heft and is nicely geared, but does little to tell the driver what is
happening on the road beneath. Though the Edge exhibits a steady ride on the highway, the ride
in town (with the optional 20 inch wheels on our tester) is disappointingly choppy. The standard
18 inch wheels may deliver a smoother ride. Strong brakes. Very good driving position and good
outward visibility. The so-called "Vista" roof on our test vehicle had a massive opening, and
caused very little wind buffeting when it was open.
Ford Edge dashboard
The 2011 update kept the comfortable seats, ample cabin dimensions and good cargo capacity
of the pre-facelift Edge, and married them to a more elegant cabin with significantly improved
fit and finish. The visually simple dash, matte finished plastics and two-tone colour schemes
are pleasing to the eye. On the other hand, the faux alloy trim is not entirely convincing, and some
APA staffers were unenthusiastic about the woodgrain accents (with odd vertical graining) on
the dashboard. Light coloured carpets on the cabin and cargo floors brighten the cabin, may
prove difficult to keep clean.
Much has been said about the MyFord Touch electronic control interface inhabiting many new
Fords, including the Edge. It is indeed daunting at first, with drivers feeling helpless when all
they wanted to do was change a radio station. However, with time, and about 15 minutes
assistance from a resident or friendly teenager, the system becomes less intimidating. The
touch-screen has a different-coloured bar at each of its quadrants, a push on which will take
you to a sub-screen (phone, navigation, audio and climate) where you can adjust the appropriate
function. There are also touch-adjusted climate control buttons on the dash centre stack for those
who don't want to use the screen. Whether the MyFord Touch system is an improvement over
conventional controls is debatable, but it can be mastered in time.
The name-brand audio system installed in the Edge Limited produced impressive sound of great
depth and clarity. Ford's Sync cell phone interface is not compatible with all makes of cell phones.
The MyFord Touch screen displaying multiple fingerprints
The instrument panel features a central speedometer with a conventional needle indicator,
but all other elements are electronic screens that can (except for the fuel gauge) be altered to
reflect driver preferences. The photo of the gauge display show a tachometer on the left and a
compass on the right.
The displays flanking the speedometer can be picked by the driver.
Cargo area with rear seat in place
Cargo area (with light-hued carpet) with rear seat folded down
The pre-2011 Edge was rated above average for reliability. There is insufficient data on this heavily
revised model to predict long-term reliability. Three year/60,000 km bumper to bumper warranty, with
five years/100,000 km on the powertrain.
All-wheel drive (standard on the Sport) is a $2000 option on most Edge trim levels. The Edge SEL upgrade
lacks content for the price, but the Limited package is reasonable value in comparison. The Sport trim adds
the 3.7L V6 and 27 horsepower, but costs $3700. Avoid the 22 inch wheel package as replacement tires
are extremely expensive. Lease monthlies (48 months) are high in relation to monthly (60 months) finance
Seat-mounted side airbags and side-curtain airbags are standard on all models. The Edge was a
Top Safety Pick, and rated Good in the frontal, side, rear and roof strength tests conducted by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Clean, elegant lines of the Ford Edge

A man from Chesterfield, who is accused of running over his own father in a car, has had the charge he faces downgraded.
Dean Wilson (37), of Spital Lane, made his latest appearance at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday afternoon.
He pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder 59-year-old Norman Wilson at Gloucester Road, Chesterfield on Friday 31st October last year.
But he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of grievous bodily harm of Mr Wilson with intent, which was accepted by the barrister for the prosecution, Dawn Pritchard.
Wilson will now be sentenced on that charge on Monday 9th March. But Judge Michael Stokes warned: "It is inevitable that custody will be imposed. He will be disqualified from driving too."
The judge also described Wilson's actions as "plainly deliberate", and expressed surprise that the injuries suffered by his father were "not as serious as might have been anticipated".
Miss Pritchard said Mr Wilson snr suffered three fractured ribs, bruising, scratches and abrasions. She asked for a victim impact statement from him to be presented to the next hearing.
The court was told by Ben Campbell (defending) that a psychiatric report had been prepared on Wilson, but felt that an additional pre-sentence report by the probation service was not necessary.
At a previous hearing, it was claimed that Wilson, who "had a history of mental problems", believed his father had been having an affair with the defendant's ex-partner.
The case was adjourned, and Wilson was remanded in custody until the sentencing hearing.

Journey to the Sinking LandsA witness to the world's first evacuation of an entire people due to climate change
So, who is Dan?
For the past few years, I have lived mostly in Australia, where I worked as a newspaper reporter, wrote a book, and learned to surf.
Swapping my suit for sandals, I spent six months was living in Wanarn, a remote Aboriginal community a long way from anything in the middle of the central Australian deserts and where I began planning this journey. I had a lot of time on my hands.
Since then, I've moved back to Britain, got married, and spent as much time as I can find rock-climbing.

Excellent project, Dan. "Radio 4 documentary" leads me to believe that will be an audio program. Will a film crew be accompanying you, or will you be shooting any video? I would very much like the opportunity to include a brief clip or two in my documentary about what we're doing to the planet in our quest for perpetual economic growth. This is a perfect example of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Hooked on Growth
Should be some good surfing in these Islands by the sounds of it Dan. An incredible opportunity – I look forward to seeing the results.
Ello mate,
its finn and joe, both in Liverpool and thought it was appropriate to have a look at your blog.
very impressed with your professional site and the full scope of your expedition and we both like the dark, brooding photo. x
I've seen you surf, its a bit rich to describe yourself as a surfer.
Dear Dan
I'm a producer with Channel Seven's "Sunday Night" program in Sydney. I'm very interested in talking to you about what's happening to the Carteret people. Is there any way we can talk? Do you have access to a phone where you are? If you can give me a number I'll call you at your convenience.
Many thanks

You did a wonderful job letting the world know about the Carteret. All the best with the wedding.
Dhan, NYC.
Hi Dan,
Just heard your documentary on the Carteret Islands. Well done on telling the story. I was living in the Solomon Islands in 2005 and the pidgin, church singing and sound of outboard motors brought it all back. Do get in touch if you fancy swapping tales of leaf hut life.
Hi Dan
I think the work you are doing is really fascinating and relevant. Is there any way I can get involved with your research on the Carteret Islands. I'm currently on a gap year before studying geography at university and would love the opportunity to help out in any way that I can. Please email back.
Thanks, Liam
Hi Dan,
I'm an environmental anthropologist at UCL in London (though am originally from South Africa). I've been looking into this case for some time now and am very seriously investigating the possibility of coming over in March/April 2010 do undertake an indepth study on the social consequences of such relocation on the Tuluuns. The idea is very much to set this up as a preliminary case study for IPCC/UNHCR considerations in dealing with the very real reality of future small Island (and livelihood) loss.
I was wondering whether it might be possible to initiate a little dialogue with yourself?
Thanks very much and I hope to hear back from you,
I htink its really good what you've done and how you've got some publicity for the people of the Carterets Islands. You should be proud.

A.O. Scott Testifies!
Future "At the Movies" co-host A.O. Scott's piece on the increasingly infantilization of the American movie-going public isn't bad but he really hits his stride in the second half. Everything below is just dead-on:
Wolverine, Captain Kirk, Harry Potter, Hasbro — those trademarks and secondary merchandising opportunities will reliably get kids into the theaters. But the examples of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3," "Public Enemies" and, perhaps, "Funny People" are widely taken to mean that artists like Denzel Washington, John Travolta, Michael Mann, Johnny Depp and Judd Apatow may not have the same guaranteed pull. Never mind that "Public Enemies" has actually done pretty well after a slow start, and that the running time, subject matter and tone of "Funny People" make it hard to compare with "Knocked Up" or "Happy Gilmore." Conventional wisdom is always happy to ignore such nuances.
This may be because any reduction in the clout of stars or the autonomy of directors redounds to the benefit of the companies that own the copyrights and distribute the goods. ... Middle-aged actors and critically lauded directors look like extravagances rather than sound investments. Forty is the new dead. Auteur is French for unemployed. "The Hurt Locker" — the kind of fierce and fiery action movie that might have been a blockbuster once upon a time — is treated like a delicate, exotic flower, released into art houses and sold on its prestige rather than on its visceral power.
The box office numbers don't lie, but they don't tell the whole story either. The weekend grosses, widely guessed at on Thursday night and breathlessly reported by the middle of Sunday afternoon, record the quantity of tickets purchased, but they cannot register the quality of the experience. The aggregate of receipts shows that a lot of people like going to the movies, but not necessarily that they like what they see.
Commercial success may represent the public's embrace of a piece of creative work, or it may just represent the vindication of a marketing strategy. In bottom-line terms, this is a distinction without a difference. A movie that people will go and see, almost as if they had no choice, is a safer business proposition than one they may have to bother thinking about. In this respect "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is exemplary. It brilliantly stymies reflection, thwarts argument, arrests intelligent response. The most interesting thing about the movie — apart from Megan Fox's outfits, I suppose — is that it has made nearly $400 million domestically.
There is nothing else to say. Any further discussion — say about whether it's a good movie or not — sounds quaint, old-fashioned, passé. Get a clue, grandpa.
Or go see "Up," the only hugely successful movie of the summer that engages genuinely adult themes. It's about loss, frustration, disappointment. And it offers one of the season's most pointed and paradoxical lessons. If you want to make a mature film for mature audiences, make sure it's a cartoon.

A Chelsea condo development under construction at 35 West 15th Street unveiled a new name and pricing with the launch of its teaser site.
35 XV by Alchemy Properties was originally scheduled to hit the market in September as a 25-story, 58-unit condo.
According to the teaser site, the project will consist of one-bedrooms priced at $1.5 million to $2.1 million, two-bedrooms at $2.5 million to $4 million, three-bedrooms at $4.6 million to $8.95 million and four-bedrooms at $5.65 million to $9.95 million.
The lower six floors will be occupied by Xavier High School, and the entire completed building will be 299 feet tall, according to Department of Buildings permits. Alchemy secured a construction loan in November.

So let's say that you are covering a news story that focuses on some Catholic organizations that have been accused of fraud. Right in the middle of the scene is a Catholic priest who has been close to the accused and was clearly in communication with them during the time in question. The prosecutors say that they want the priest to testify against the Catholics who are accused of fraud -- or they will throw him in jail.
If you are an experienced religion-beat reporter or a legal-affairs reporter, what's one of the first angles that you need to explore in this case?
The key words may or may not be "clergy privilege."
In other words, the priest's legal team may or may not be able to argue that he cannot be forced to testify about privileged private communications with members of his flock, whether these contacts took place under the seal of confession or not.
In most states, laws have been crafted to extend the same protections that are given to confessors to to other clergy and corresponding religious leaders (although these protections are hotly debated and not all laws are identical, for reasons that echo the arguments about "shield laws" to protect journalists).
I thought of this church-state wrinkle (or synagogue-state wrinkle) when reading an intriguing news feature in the Los Angeles Times about the troubled legal history of one Rabbi Moshe Zigelman. This is one case in which it is clear that the laws of man and God are both at the heart of the story. Here's the top of the report:
Two years ago, Rabbi Moshe Zigelman went to prison rather than testify against fellow Jews in a federal tax-evasion case and receive a lesser punishment.
Now, federal prosecutors are threatening him with a return to jail unless the 64-year-old devout Hasid agrees to testify before a grand jury regarding the federal government's ongoing probe of tax evasion in his Orthodox Jewish sect. ... They will ask a judge to order him to testify or be found in contempt.
His attorney says Zigelman, a teacher of scripture and son of Holocaust survivors, will again refuse, citing his religious principles.
Zigelman's unyielding religious stance has led to attorneys wrangling in a federal courtroom over the rare intersection of the modern U.S. legal system and the ancient Jewish doctrine of mesira, a prohibition for Jews against informing on other Jews to secular authorities.
The story contains all kinds of interesting material about the roots of "mesira" and why some Jewish scholars believe that the concept is no longer relevant, in this case and/or many others.
It's also important that this particular case is about fraud and, in the church-state arena, officials have more freedom to dig into religious matters when they are linked to fraud, profit or clear threats to the life and health of believers.
I can understand why the mesira angle plays such a prominent role in the story. Clearly, that is part of the defense here. It should dominate the story. Readers are told, for example:
Prosecutors have said the rabbi's position is unsupported by Talmudic law, according to court papers filed by Zigelman's attorneys. Defense attorneys contend that he is again being asked to make the obvious choice between heaven and earthly jail cells, and that no prison time will be able to get Zigelman to go against his religion and face ever-lasting punishment.
"No earthly sanction will ever make Rabbi Zigelman abandon his religious precepts," Michael Proctor, an attorney for Zigelman wrote in court papers.
Nevertheless, I kept waiting for someone in the story to discuss the issue of clergy privilege and no one ever did.
To tell you the truth, I do not know if this legal wrinkle is part of the story or not. I do know one thing: Someone should have asked about it, somebody in the courtroom or somebody in the newsroom. If this is not part of the story, I'd love to know why.

It is still summer at most places, but not here in London though! I couldn't feel the hot and sweaty summer days this year, because the weather in London has been pretty chilly so far. After the Pure show and all the articles I have written for the upcoming autumn/winter 15, I became so inspired to create an outfit in a fall palette! Some of my personal favourite shades of the autumnal palette are the rustic tones. They are an update and a new take on the brown hues. I have picked this rustic colour suede skirt by Rare London to create this style. I opted for a black top in velvet and flat black sandals. I am also wearing a bag from River Island that has gold details. For a final touch, I added statement golden earrings and bracelet.
If you want to own a go-to skirt that is fabulous enough to take you through the whole autumn/winter season, make sure to check out the new collection of Rare London. Rare London's collections are always step ahead of the game following the latest trends. I am sure you can find something that will fit your style!
Don't forget to follow your personal style and get inspired form the fashion trends! Show me your most stylish outfit from this summer and I will feature it on Outfit of the week favourites! Submit here!

Fiscal frameworks and election season
This week the UK Government is facing crunch time on two key negotiations that will shape the future of the constitution of the UK.
The first, between the UK Government and the European Union, has seen David Cameron spend much of his time jetting across Europe trying to secure a renegotiation deal for the UK within the European Union. It would be hard to have missed that if you've been anywhere near the TV over the last week.
The second negotiation is perhaps getting less airtime outside Scotland but will impact the whole of the UK. This negotiation, between the UK and Scottish Governments, covers the attractively titled 'Fiscal Framework' to accompany the Scotland Bill currently going through Westminster.
Lest we forget, some context. Scotland of course voted to remain part of the UK in 2014. But it did so latterly with the promise of extra powers within the UK (called in some quarters 'The Vow') and in particular powers over the ability to raise money as well as spend it (that's a very simplified version). Following the Smith Commission process the Scotland Bill has been published which includes for example control over income tax as well as a number of other (and complicated) variations on tax powers. But…and it's a big but…all this depends on an agreed fiscal framework negotiated between the two governments…and this is where the problem lies.
Put simply the fiscal framework is the financial agreement that will underpin the changing of the tax system. At the moment the UK Government collects most taxes and the Treasury gives money to departments and the four nations through a funding mechanism called the Barnett formula. Fairly obviously with the Scottish Parliament keeping revenue from something like income tax the amount given by the UK Government will be reduced accordingly. And here comes the problem...how to do that in a fair way to the different parts of the UK, especially in the context of the continued commitment to the Barnett Formula, another aspect of the so called 'Vow'.
Just as in the EU negotiations it turns out that politicians don't want to do a deal that causes detriment to their own constituency and so we have the current stand-off. The crunch of this week comes because of the looming Scottish election in May, meaning the Scottish Parliament needs enough time to pass the agreement before it dissolves in March. At this stage it's not apparent whether an agreement will be forthcoming, though further talks are due on Friday.
The context of this is of course that Scottish election and as Christians that's where we need to focus our eyes and away from getting caught up in the technicalities of the financial agreement, whether or not it's reached over the next week. Whatever our politics the biggest concern has to be the good governance of Scotland (and the UK) over the next 5 years and promoting Kingdom values in Scotland that will be for the benefit of all.
To that end we're working with our friends at Care for Scotland on running a series of election events taking place in April. There will be a regional hustings event in each of the eight electoral regions and we'll also be encouraging and supporting local churches in holding local constituency events with the candidates. These will be complimented by a series of electoral resources from both Care and the Alliance and Care have also set up a dedicated election website www.engage16.org.uk which is now live.
For further information on the dates of events and planned resources keep checking the EA Scotland webpage and social media channels.

This is Alan "Big Al" Staub's recipe for creamy spinach and shrimp enchiladas, his adaptation of an Emeril Lagasse recipe for crespelle alla Fiorentina. The tortillas substitute for crepes.
Creamy spinach and shrimp enchiladas
Makes 10 main-dish servings
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 to 1/2 pound peeled small gumbo shrimp
1 1/2 to 2 (8-ounce) packages shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/3 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
4 pinches ground nutmeg, divided
6 tablespoons butter, divided, plus butter for baking dish
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 pinches garlic salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook spinach according to package instructions. Drain and press out as much moisture from spinach as possible, and place in large mixing bowl with eggs, shrimp, cheeses, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/3 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 pinches nutmeg, mixing thoroughly. (This filling can be made up to 8 hours ahead; keep refrigerated.)
Butter one or two casserole dishes that have the same width as the diameter of the tortillas. To assemble each enchilada, spoon about 3/4 cup of the filling down center of tortilla, and roll tortilla into a fairly tight cylinder. As they are filled and rolled, place enchiladas seam-down in greased casserole dish, packing them snugly in a single layer; set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until roux is smooth, and cook over medium heat until bubbly but not yet beginning to brown, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add milk, stirring until all is added and mixture is smooth.
Cook over medium-low to low heat, until sauce is creamy thick, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping pan bottom well. Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 pinches nutmeg. Slowly drizzle sauce over enchiladas, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake uncovered until bubbly around edges and top is just barely browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Serve warm.

When last have I had a Saturday where I only got showered and dressed at one in the afternoon??!!! What fun!!
Hubby took our son to the airport at 4am. He will be visiting my brother in a 'remote' little town in Western Australia for a few weeks.
It is raining on and off and definitely not a day to do anything constructive... The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent reading, reading and more reading. My family is actually quite surprised that I managed to stay still for so long. My eyes are quite tired. But what fun!!
I am reading 'The Girl in Times Square' by Paullina Simons. We've had a few of her books in our book club back in South Africa. Enjoyable read.
Think it's time for me to go back to reading.
Hubby again doing the rounds, he's taking our daughter to a sleep over birthday party.
What shall we do tonight, just us, go out or stay in and read...???

The Beauty and Luxury of a Costa Rica Beach Vacation Rental
There are many locations you might choose to vacation but none can match the truly exotic and mystifying land of Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a tropical paradise located in Central America, bordered closely by Nicaragua and Panama. As you gaze towards the distance you'll experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean on the west side and the Caribbean on the east. Costa Rica is enjoying unprecedented growth and tourism, being the most visited country in the southern hemisphere. What makes this such a popular tourist destination? It could be the pristine beaches, warm temperatures, soft breezes and virtual year-round sunshine; or it might be the outstanding accommodation options you'll find, all inclusive resorts, rainforest hotels, Eco-lodges and for families there are vacation rentals throughout the country. Regardless of the type of accommodation you choose to stay, you can expect to experience a carefree afternoon enjoying the pristine beaches and warm breezes, simply letting your mind drift and freeing you from the stresses of everyday life or if you are a more adventurous type of person you might book a surf lesson in any of the available surfing schools in Costa Rica.

The transformative potential of MOOCs and contrasting online pedagogies
The aim of this project is to investigate the transformative potential of digital technologies, such as MOOCs, in higher education.
Project team
- Diana Laurillard, UCL Institute of Education
- Eileen Kennedy, UCL Institute of Education
The response of higher education systems to the possibilities of digital technologies has been sporadic and localised. System-level initiatives relate more to administration and research than to education, while institution-level responses focus mainly on installing virtual learning environments.
One area where digital innovation in HE has been rapid and large-scale is the phenomenon of the spread of massive, open, online courses (MOOCs). The top universities in the US, a few in the UK, the EU, the Far East, Australia, and now also in parts of the Global South, have experimented with this form of HE.
The transformative potential of MOOCs, while widely forecast, is still uncertain, for several reasons:
- MOOCs have done little to transform undergraduate education, as some 80 per cent of participants are highly qualified professionals.
- MOOC affordances and the large-scale participation rates are incompatible with the personal nurturing and scaffolding that supports high quality student learning.
- Universities and platform developers are still developing the business models they need to make MOOCs sustainable, and financially viable.
For these reasons, the field will undergo considerable change and development over the next few years as providers experiment with new pedagogies and new business models.
However, there are several properties of MOOCs that lead to expectations of their transformational potential, for example:
- University senior teams see strategic opportunities and create more investment in innovation for MOOCs than they do for the migration of undergraduate courses to online and blended versions.
- Because they are free, open, and accessible by all countries, there is an assumption that MOOCs have the potential to solve some of education's hardest challenges.
- The platforms provide extensive learning analytic data in comparison with the VLEs used by most universities. This creates the possibility of transforming certain kinds of educational research on how students learn, and what counts as effective pedagogy.
Research questions
- Could MOOCs potentially match the personalised support for individual students of current HE models?
- Could they do this with significantly more efficient use of teacher time to make it affordable for the many?
- Do MOOCs imply a future of star professors and a casualised tutorial support network? The findings of the CGHE project The future higher education workforce in locally and globally engaged HEIs will inform the investigation of this latter question.
- Could there be a future model for higher education that goes beyond the current dominant model of campus-based education with a 1:25 staff:student ratio? Such alternative models may emerge from the findings of the CGHE project Alternative, emerging and cross-border higher education provision and its relationship with mainstream provision, which will inform the further investigations in this project.
- Which digital pedagogies provide learning activities and experiences that are effective for undergraduate students?
- Which digital pedagogies achieve significantly higher productivity of educator time?

The Outback is Subaru's best-selling model-and with good reason. It's roominess, excellent safety, technology features, and affordability made the 2017 Outback Subaru #1 in U.S. News and World Report's "Best Wagon for Families" awards.

Technology & Interior
The interior of the 2018 Outback Subaru has been updated in this latest year model. Beginning with the materials themselves, Subaru upgraded the interior surfaces with contrast stitching, high-gloss finishes and silver bezels, as well as new color options including Titanium Gray and Black/Ivory.
This model year also introduces the Outback's standard compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as a larger 6.5" touchscreen console. With Starlink Multimedia, you can also receive updates via Wi-Fi.
The technology extends to safety, too, with backup cameras now standard on the 2018 Outback Subaru. The extensive catalog of driver assistance features on upper trims also includes a new steering-responsive headlight design.

empowering all members of the community to continue
learning, growing and creating.
The Maker Movement Manifesto
By Mark Hatch
Making is fundamental to what it means to be human. We must make, create, and express ourselves to feel whole. There is something unique about making physical things. These things are like little pieces of us and seem to embody portions of our souls.
There are few things more selfless and satisfying than giving away something you have made. The act of making puts a small piece of you in the object. Giving that to someone else is like giving someone a small piece of yourself. Such things are often the most cherished items we possess.
Sharing what you have made and what you know about making with others is the method by which a maker's feeling of wholeness is achieved. You cannot make and not share.
You must learn to make. You must always seek to learn more about your making. You may become a journeyman or master craftsman, but you will still learn, want to learn, and push yourself to learn new techniques, materials, and processes. Building a lifelong learning path ensures a rich and rewarding making life and, importantly, enables one to share.

On Friday, Fukushima Mizuho, the head of the Social Democratic Party of Japan, refused to bow to the prime minister's decision to accept a modified version of the 2006 realignment agreement, forcing the prime minister to dismiss her from her position as minister responsible for consumer affairs.
Not surprisingly, on Sunday the SDPJ decided that it would leave the coalition, although it suggested that electoral cooperation in the upcoming upper house election is still possible. The DPJ still holds a slim majority in the upper house with the PNP — perhaps thanks to the work of the "devil" — and will undoubtedly press harder to get its legislation passed without having to extend the current Diet session.
Jun Okumura questions whether electoral cooperation is the wisest decision for its survival "as an anti-business, anti-Japan-US alliance protest party." In this statement, of course, one sees the problem with the coalition between the DPJ and the SDPJ. With 308 seats — including 221 of 300 single-member districts — in the House of Representatives, electoral dynamics suggest that the DPJ would drift to the center once in power, as it needs to maintain pluralities in as many districts as possible. In this sense, perhaps the only surprising thing about the Hatoyama government's embrace of the old agreement is that it tried so hard and so long to find an alternative to accommodation. Some might say that the DPJ is becoming the old LDP, although I don't think that's a particularly meaningful assessment: Futenma, and Ozawa's courtship of old LDP interest groups notwithstanding, the DPJ's priorities and identity remain distinct. If the LDP and the DPJ increasingly resemble each other (and if the LDP survives), it is because survival in a political system dominated by nonaligned voters will produces moves to the center in order to satisfy as many floating voters as possible, combined with rhetorical and symbolical gestures to distinguish one from the other.
The SDPJ is in wholly different circumstances. The party has only seven seats in the lower house, four from proportional blocs and three from single-member districts. One of those three — Teruya Kantoku — is from Okinawa's second district. As a marginal party, the SDPJ's survival depends on offering something unique to a narrow slice of core supporters, in this case left-wing ideologues who share its commitment to reducing the US presence in Japan, resisting revision of the constitution, and resisting growing inequality. While on paper there appears to be some basis for cooperation between the SDPJ and the DPJ, the reality is that for the DPJ compromise is indispensable (for large parties, manifestos, one might say, are made to be broken), while for the SDPJ its survival depends on rigid adherence to its principles and promises. Had the LDP not fallen into such disarray, the coalition might have survived a bit longer in mutual resistance to a convenient enemy, but the electoral dynamics of the coalition seem to have doomed the partnership in advance.
Electoral dynamics were compounded by the SDPJ's history. The old Socialist Party virtually broke itself by compromising its principles on the security alliance and the SDF to form a coalition with the LDP in 1994. That choice may have been the result of the party's failure to recognize that the JSP was becoming a marginal ideological party even before electoral reform: in 1993, the party actually lost 66 seats, most of them to the LDP splinter parties that would form the non-LDP coalition after the election. In other words, having betrayed its core supporters on the alliance once before, it was extremely unlikely that Fukushima would act differently than she did.
In short, Fukushima had to reject the prime minister's compromise on account of the past, present, and future of the SDPJ. The party's future is still precarious — it is not immediately clear which party gains more from electoral cooperation without cooperation in government — but having stood on principle, the SDPJ should have an easier time maintaining its electoral base.

DVD Zombieland
This is a funny, bizarre, goofy, absurd take on the standard "zombies taking over" type of film. It compares favorably with Shaun of the Dead (2004), in many ways. In a world in which the majority of the population has fallen victim to some sort of virus that has turned them into brain-eating zombies, you'd think that the few unaffected human survivors would gladly team up to effectively find a way to fight off the plague of zombies. Not so much. Jesse Eisenberg plays nervous introvert "Columbus" who just tries to survive day-to-day. Woody Harrelson is the psychotic "Tallahassee", whose streak of violet mayhem permits him to survive. When this odd couple encounters a pair of savvy and survival-oriented sisters, they clash but ultimately team up to head to an amusement park that, unsurprisingly, doesn't live up to its zombie-free reputation. Will this combative group survive each other long enough to survive the zombies? Darkly humorous, in a sort-of sick way, with a great cameo from a surprising comedic actor once the gang reaches Hollywood. This one's not for everyone, but it might be for you! -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library
