Exclusive: CIA Director-designate John Brennan stumbled through less-than-challenging questions at his Senate confirmation hearing, struggling to square the circle of his past ties to abuses in the "war on terror" with his future promises to be a force for openness and reform, as ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman notes.
A Chance to Debate the 'War on Terror'
Confirmation hearings for John Brennan to head the CIA will give Congress – and the American people – their first chance for some public airing of the secret drone program that has struck at suspected al-Qaeda terrorists, including U.S. citizens, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Drone Memo Puts Brennan on Spot
Exclusive: President Obama is finally giving the congressional Intelligence Committees a look at a Justice Department legal opinion justifying the killing of Americans in senior al-Qaeda positions plotting attacks on the U.S. The disclosure comes as the Senate considers John Brennan to be CIA director, notes Ray McGovern.
How Secrecy Corrodes Democracy
Exclusive: The Obama administration is under fire for its secret policy of using drone strikes to kill alleged al-Qaeda terrorists, including Americans. But the public suspicion is heightened by frustration over decades of excessive government secrecy and deception, says Robert Parry.
How Congress Undermined 9/11 Cases
Congressional "tough-guy-ism" – blocking President Obama's plan to shutter the Guantanamo Bay prison and insisting on military tribunals for 9/11 terrorism suspects – is making the prosecutions harder than if they had been transferred to civilian courts, an irony addressed by ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Reality Bites Back
Exclusive: More than a Right-Left battle, the conflict for the world's future is between empiricists and fantasists, those who are committed to reality and rationality and those who happily embrace propaganda as truth. It is a struggle with global implications, writes Robert Parry.
Defending Guns, Ignoring 'Due Process'
Millions of Americans are almost literally up in arms over the prospect of a few commonsense restrictions on "gun rights," but there has been no similar resistance to far more sweeping, post-9/11 encroachments on fundamental constitutional rights relating to due process under the law, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Return of 'Three-Fifths' of a Person
Exclusive: Stung by back-to-back defeats to Barack Obama, the Republican Party is undertaking a national strategy to devalue the votes of blacks and other minorities, a partial revival of the infamous clause in the U.S. Constitution rating African-American slaves as "Three-Fifths" of a person, says Robert Parry.
Finally, the Republicans Are Afraid
Exclusive: House Speaker John Boehner warned his fellow Republicans that President Obama may be preparing "to annihilate" the GOP, surely an overly dramatic claim but one that marks a stunning reversal of fortune for swaggering Republicans who once dreamt of their own one-party state, says Robert Parry.
What to Make of Barack Obama?
Exclusive: In his Second Inaugural Address, President Obama offered a powerful rejoinder to the Right by arguing that progressive reform fits firmly within the Founders' vision of a strong country advancing the "general Welfare" and securing "Blessings of Liberty." But does his rhetoric reflect the real Obama, asks Robert Parry.

Marcus Theaters Corporation, Wisconsin's largest theater operator and the 16th largest in the U.S., has announced plans to add more screens to several existing theaters, as well as construction of a new theater in Saukville, Wisconsin. The combined efforts will increase their screen count by 77 to a total of 519.
Hillside Cinema in Delafield, Wisconsin and Marc Cinema in Sheboygan, Wisconsin are currently under construction. Four screens will be added to each theater, bringing their total screens to 14 each. Ridge Cinema in New Berlin, Wisconsin will increase by four screens to a total of 20, which will make it the largest complex in the state. One wonders if the new size meant that the old neon marquee wouldn't do anymore, Ridge has been missing its neon for quite some time...
Other theaters in the state are also receiving boosts in screen counts: Marc Cinemas in Green Bay, increasing the total there to 12 screens; the Cinema Theatres in La Crosse, making it an eight screen complex; the Northtown Cinemas and Southgate Cinemas in Milwaukee, increasing the total at the Northtown to 12 screens and the Southgate to 14 screens; and the Cinema Ten in Oshkosh, giving it a total of 14 screens.
With the apparent success of Westown's UltraScreen theater in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Marcus plans to add a 75-foot wide, 32-foot high UltraScreen at the 15-screen Point Cinema UltraPlex in Madison, Wisconsin.
Their Saukville, Wisconsin land investment is paying off with the planned construction of 12 stadium-seating screens in that location. Construction is scheduled for some time in 2000. The parking lot at North Shore is rarely empty, and with further development there diminished by the city of Mequon (click for story), the Saukville location would seem ideal in relieving some of North Shore's stress, and providing Marcus within easy reach of Port Washington, Belgium, Fredonia, and Random Lake.
Construction on new theaters and expansions to current theaters are also planned by Marcus to theaters in Minnesota and Illinois. For more information, please see their Press Release.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity.

Fire destroys mobile home, wooden rooster collection
LaBraney was at his trailer at 15 Hill Road on Wednesday with his girlfriend, sitting on the couch watching television.
"Then she smelled smoke," LaBraney said, declining to name his girlfriend.
"We pulled everything away from the walls, and we found the back of the couch was smoking, and there was an outlet looked like it was smoking," he said.
LaBraney called 911 and both fled the home, unhurt.
By the time the fire department arrived, the small, older-model trailer was a complete loss, said Fire Department Capt. Bruce Goldthwaite.
"We believe the fire was caused by an electrical problem, it is not suspicious," Goldthwaite said.
LaBraney said he and his girlfriend feel lucky to be alive, and are glad a relative is providing them with a temporary home.
But he is worried because he didn't have the trailer insured.
On Friday, he walked through the charred remains of the trailer. A flat-screen television was melted. The furniture was ruined, the windows broken, and the building reeked of ash and smoke.
"I don't know what I'm going to do, I had no insurance, and I lost everything here," he said.
Of prime concern seemed to be his girlfiend's woodeb rooster collection.
"She spent her whole life collecting those, and they're all trashed," he said, dropping a charred wooden rooster on the floor.

While most discussion throughout the last couple days has focused on the Miami Marlins selling off nearly all of their assets and the re-loaded Blue Jays north of the border, there's also a discussion to be had about what the reported massive trade means for Toronto's competition, the American League East division. In case you missed it, the trade that went down looks as follows … Blue Jays receive: SS – Jose Reyes SP – Josh Johnson SP – Mark Buehrle OF – Emilio Bonifacio C – John Buck Marlins receive: SS – Yunel Escobar SP – Henderson Alvarez Prospects – Andy Hechavarria, Jake Marisnick, Anthony Desclafani and Justin Nicolino C – Jeff Mathis Owner Jeffrey Loria's aggressive plan last offseason could not have turned out worse, so maybe this photo looking up to him isn't the most appropriate. (Photo by ESPN) So, yes, the Blue Jays obviously improve a lot on paper with this trade. But will it be enough for them to contend with powerhouses like Boston, New York, and even Tampa

Two award-winning whisky distilleries, two award-winning breweries and the UK's most northerly winery can all be found in Orkney. Throw in Scotland's only wine festival and a beer festival and you have a great mix of quality drink opportunities to savour.
Highland Park has won the accolade of Best Spirit in the World twice and has a five-star visitor centre. All year round there are guided tours of the distillery on the edge of Kirkwall where you can see the whole whisky-making process, including the atmospheric and rare malting floor where the malting barley is turned by hand. Views of the peat fires which give the barley its distinctive flavour and a taste of the single malt are included in the experience. There is also a shop at the distillery which started production in 1798. Scapa Distillery, just half a mile away, began its business making single malt whisky in 1885 and is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. It produces a delicate whisky; the malt is not peated but the water comes from a peaty burn. There are no tours of Scapa as, amazingly, production at this craft whisky distillery is run by just three people.
Orkney Brewery in Quoyloo in the west mainland has won national and international awards for its beer. Well known beers include Red McGregor and Skullsplitter, named after a Viking earl, and not for the faint hearted. The Swannay Brewery in Evie, owned by the Highland Brewing Company, brews Scapa Special, voted Champion Beer of Scotland in 2008. Orkney Blast and St Magnus Ale are two of several other ales. Both breweries supply cask ales to bars and bottled ales.
Orkney Wine Company makes fruit wines and liqueurs. The Orkney Wine shop is next to the Italian Chapel and the business also supplies local shops, hotels and restaurants. Ingredients used are local wherever possible, and include gorse, blackcurrants, sloes, cranberries and rhubarb.
Orkney Wine Festival is held in June at fine food venues across Orkney and features winemakers and experts from around the world. Orkney Beer festival in August in the Stromness Hotel showcases Orkney beers along with award winning ales and sometimes ciders from across the UK.

David Crockett: The Lion of the West (2011)
by Michael Wallis
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an interesting, detailed recounting of the life of David Crockett. It dispels many myths and legends about his life.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393067580, Hardcover)
Steeped in legend, shrouded in folklore, the real David Crockett, American frontiersman and cultural icon, finally emerges in this engrossing biography.His name was David Crockett. He never signed his name any other way, but popular culture transformed his memory into "Davy Crockett," and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. Best-selling historian Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at the frontiersman, storyteller, and politician behind these legendary stories. Born into a humble Tennessee family in 1786, Crockett never "killed him a b'ar" when he was only three. But he did cut a huge swath across early-nineteenth-century America—as a bear hunter, a frontier explorer, a soldier serving under Andrew Jackson, an unlikely congressman, and, finally, a martyr in his now-controversial death at the Alamo. Wallis's David Crockett is more than a riveting story. It is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction, providing us with an extraordinary evocation of a true American hero and the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived. 60 black-and-white illustrations
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:44:45 -0400)
A biography of the legendary frontiersman, soldier, and martyr examines his life--from hunting bears in the unspoiled countryside to helping defend the Alamo--and aims to dispel long-held myths.

How do we learn to be parents? Unlike most professions, which often require tests, training and years of study, parenting is the kind of job that most of us learn by doing. There are no internships or opportunities for "student parenting." Although we might get advice from friends and relatives, we don't have a 24-hour hotline to call for troubleshooting. Most of us also rarely get the opportunity to take a class on how to become better parents.
To help moms and dads meet the challenges of raising a family, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is offering a free parenting seminar next month.
"So many issues face families in our time," Dr. Ron Hardy, a Spokane obstetrician and one of the event organizers, said in a press release. "This seminar will present practical tools to help parents build positive connections with their children."
The seminar will feature local therapists, physicians and a local Chartered Life underwriter and financial consultant. These experts will focus on six topics: principles of discipline; nurturing children; talking to your teen; family finances; behavioral health; and blended families.
Although faith-based, the church's parenting seminar is open to everyone, regardless of belief or background, organizers said. The event is designed to offer parents practical advice on how to nurture children so they can grow up to become responsible adults.
The seminar will take place on Saturday, April 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Spokane North Stake Center, 401 W. Regina Ave. For more information, check out www.parentingseminar.org

- The new keynesian approach to dynamic general equilibrium modeling: models, methods, and macroeconomic policy evaluation (2012)
- This chapter aims to provide a hands-on approach to New Keynesian models and their uses for macroeconomic policy analysis. It starts by reviewing the origins of the New Keynesian approach, the key model ingredients and representative models. Building blocks of current-generation dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models are discussed in detail. These models address the famous Lucas critique by deriving behavioral equations systematically from the optimizing and forward-looking decision-making of households and firms subject to well-defined constraints. State-of-the-art methods for solving and estimating such models are reviewed and presented in examples. The chapter goes beyond the mere presentation of the most popular benchmark model by providing a framework for model comparison along with a database that includes a wide variety of macroeconomic models. Thus, it offers a convenient approach for comparing new models to available benchmarks and for investigating whether particular policy recommendations are robust to model uncertainty. Such robustness analysis is illustrated by evaluating the performance of simple monetary policy rules across a range of recently-estimated models including some with financial market imperfections and by reviewing recent comparative findings regarding the magnitude of government spending multipliers. The chapter concludes with a discussion of important objectives for on-going and future research using the New Keynesian framework.
- Surprising comparative properties of monetary models : results from a new model database (2012)
- In this paper we investigate the comparative properties of empirically-estimated monetary models of the U.S. economy using a new database of models designed for such investigations. We focus on three representative models due to Christiano, Eichenbaum, Evans (2005), Smets and Wouters (2007) and Taylor (1993a). Although these models differ in terms of structure, estimation method, sample period, and data vintage, we find surprisingly similar economic impacts of unanticipated changes in the federal funds rate. However, optimized monetary policy rules differ across models and lack robustness. Model averaging offers an effective strategy for improving the robustness of policy rules.
- Evaluating internal credit rating systems depending on bank size (2003)
- Under a new Basel capital accord, bank regulators might use quantitative measures when evaluating the eligibility of internal credit rating systems for the internal ratings based approach. Based on data from Deutsche Bundesbank and using a simulation approach, we find that it is possible to identify strongly inferior rating systems out-of time based on statistics that measure either the quality of ranking borrowers from good to bad, or the quality of individual default probability forecasts. Banks do not significantly improve system quality if they use credit scores instead of ratings, or logistic regression default probability estimates instead of historical data. Banks that are not able to discriminate between high- and low-risk borrowers increase their average capital requirements due to the concavity of the capital requirements function.
- Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall for rare events (2008)
- We show that the use of correlations for modeling dependencies may lead to counterintuitive behavior of risk measures, such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Short- fall (ES), when the risk of very rare events is assessed via Monte-Carlo techniques. The phenomenon is demonstrated for mixture models adapted from credit risk analysis as well as for common Poisson-shock models used in reliability theory. An obvious implication of this finding pertains to the analysis of operational risk. The alleged incentive suggested by the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II), amely decreasing minimum capital requirements by allowing for less than perfect correlation, may not necessarily be attainable.

Lumia 920 robust sales in India
I was having a look at Flipkart.com which is like the Amazon of India. The Lumia 920 is already sold out on it, just 5 days after launch. It has a good number of ratings and reviews too. Similarly the HTC 8X too has a lot of ratings and reviews and is on the best seller list. The 8X has been on retail since December. The number of ratings show that these phones are having more sales than even the HTC One X+ which has been on retail for longer. Overall reviews and ratings have a very positive tone. Sure, judging sales by the number of ratings is not the most scientific method out there, also considering the fact that anyone can rate the device even if he has not purchased it, but using it as a common scale to compare all phones, the 920 seems to be doing quite good. The 620 expected to be launched in Feb at a lower price should also do very well based on this trend. The important thing to remember is that India is a pre-paid market and none of the phones have contract subsidies and hence people are effectively paying the full price of an unlocked phone. Thus, even with the 920 priced more than S3 and HTC One X+ it seems to be doing quite well.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Howard HamptonThe book's best essays wrestle with performers and songs as if they were Moody's better angels and personal hellhounds. He plunges in, thoughtful and reckless, psychoanalyzing the sounds and lyrics and singers and his own reactions, caught in a blissful, bleary tug of war between the heights of intoxication and the depths of hangover…The best parts of On Celestial Music are moving, unvarnished attempts to live up to the things Moody passionately loves, in all their contradictions and human imperfections and intimations of things unseen. In its genuinely awe-struck, occasionally funny and partially clubfooted way, it's one pretty cool book.

This paper examines changes in functional health among older Taiwanese between 1989 and 1996. Some contrasts are made to the improvements in functional health that have been witnessed in the United States over a similar time period. Measures of functioning include difficulties lifting, climbing stairs, and walking a given distance. Both existence of and severity of functional difficulties are investigated. Prevalence rates are examined in order to determine whether there have been improvements in the reporting of functional difficulty on a population-wide level, while transition models, which include mortality, are constructed in order to determine whether a smaller proportion of the older population in Taiwan moved into states of disability, and whether a larger proportion improved status, during the latter part of the study period. Prevalence and transition rates are adjusted for compositional variables, and in the case of transitions, for inter-survey intervals. The analyses suggest several phenomenon have been taking place simultaneously in Taiwan. There have been reductions in mortality, increases in the probability of an onset of functional difficulty and improvements in rates of recovery for those who have functional difficulties. Although these represent mixed findings, it might be interpreted in a positive light for a society that has only recently moved its economy and mortality rates to Western equivalence.

If only this beer tasted as good as it looks. Its color is a dark mahogany with a thick caramel-colored head which fades to a thin layer with plenty of lace. I really did not like the taste of this beer, it begins with coffee notes, which would be pleasing, but the flavor is that of stale coffee. It does improve a bit as it warms, the caramel taste seems to assert itself a bit more, and the stale coffee flavors are somewhat less prominent. The aroma is quite odd, smoky but with an underlying metallic note. Not that good and certainly nothing like a black and tan.

My tour of duty through this miserable Michelob sampler continues...(I think I will give myself a medal of honor when I am done..."Great Lakes Christmas Ale" this weekend)..
Pours a brownish black with a flat Pepsi like appearance...Nose has some hints of dark cocoa and roasted grains....very little flavor...some faint roasted malt and a real bitter aftertaste....moutfeel is very thin and tart on the finish....drinkability would rate low because I don't ever want this in my mouth again unless someone buys me a free one and there is no other beer available..
I'm not a real fan of this style to start with and this one is definitely the worst of this style I have tried...Keep away..

Chocolate brown beer pours with a moderate tan head which fades quickly. Strong corn smell, with a bit of hops and maybe a hint of caramel. The taste is odd, somewhat medicinal with a touch of chocolate and burnt flavors. Very harsh mouthfeel due to excessive carbonation. Drinkability is at the level that i wonder what to do with the other one in the sampler. Huge disappointment. I really wanted to like the beers from this sampler. This may be the worst of the bunch. I will not buy this box again.

Got 4 of these in the 2006 Michelob Variety 20 pack.
Poured into a pint glass, rich dark brown color, tan head, looks ok.
It smells like roasted malt, nah, make that just malt!
It taste like a Malta, cept it has alcohol in it.
Is that chocolate?... nope it's malta, a little on the thin side.
I wouldn't buy this beer on it's own and it was my least favorite in the mixed pack.

1.98/5 rDev -20.5%
Appearance: Deep ruby brown tone with a bubbly tan head quickly disipates away, leaving thin lacing how said and this beer was bottle conditioned too. Aroma: Once again a dark beer gone wrong, slight coffee and chocolate from the dark roasts used here just so dumbed down absolutely too light. Taste: Offness of slightly burnt graininess no positive flavor going on mild cream stout tone in the backbground this is sorry. Mouthfeel: So damn thin it's sick c'mon give us something decent we know A-B is capable of better than this. Drinkability: Gave it a shot due to the fact that I've never tried this Christmas sampler from Michelob I decided to go against my better judgement and grab one, please don't make the same mistake.

Pours with a thick brown head that goes quickly, not much carbonation. Deep ruby brown color. Hoppy after taste. Not what I expected with a black & tan, remind me not to buy this Michelob sampler again. Almost medium bodied. What I would like to know is whose porter are they using??? The ABV is 5%.

Is this a Budweiser with food coloring in it? I am not just jumping on the anti AB bandwagon, but this is a boring lager. Not much flavor to speak of.
Not a beer I would recommend unless it is free, which this beer was.

A re-review--found in the back of the fridge from the winter sampler pack. This one pours a very thin black with no head. The taste of day old coffee is very thin, still leaves a bad aftertaste. A bad attempt and simply a waste of time and money on this one.

Appearance: Pours a deep dark brown with a wispy tan head.
Aroma: Roasted malt and coffee dominate. Slight bitter tones.
Taste: Nice roasted malt upfront, but the middle is lost in the excessive carbonation. Coffee is present in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Flavorful, but quite light. Short, unimpressive finish.
Drinkability: One of the better of the Michelob family of beers. Worth a try, but no need to seek it out.

Pours a dark brown, close to black with a three finger tan head, the head disappeared quickly and left no lace.
Doesn't smell or taste as good as it looks, all michelob products have the same base to me, a soapy sort of smell and taste.
Coffee and caramel aroma. Also in the taste with the addition of molasses.
The body is too light, and the taste too sour.

decent color. the head is ok, not quite what i expected. the smell and flava are ok.
i am disappointed with this beer. it had some potential considering the brewer. i am once again left with the empty promise of a great beer from a macro brewer.
not my suggestion regarding a black and tan.
suckem up and movem out!

Capital expenditure
A capital expenditure is the amount a business spends on buildings, factories, equipment, etc. It is itemized on the statement of cash flows.
Expanded Definition
Capital expenditures, often abbreviated as "capex," is the amount of money a company spends during some time period to purchase revenue-generating assets. These can be manufacturing plants, delivery trucks, or even computers used by the sales people or managers.
Not everything purchased by a company is capex. For example, inventory is not, even though it, too, is an asset. Nor are investments in stock, bonds, or other companies, even though these might provide non-operating revenue which goes toward net income. Just assets that are used to generate revenue and which are not part of the product sold.
On the statement of cash flows, it is commonly the first (sometimes the second) line item under the sub-total of cash flow from operations. It is always expressed as a negative number because, on that statement, the convention is that cash flowing out of the business (as in a purchase) is negative cash flow. Sometimes it is called "purchase of plant, property, and equipment."
Capex will increase the total assets (usually long-term assets) by the amount spent in the period. However, the increase in the amount(s) of assets listed on the balance sheet won't match up exactly with how much was spent on capex because depreciation reduces the balance of those assets during the period.

By all accounts, despite continuing gaffes by some of those in charge at Churchill Downs, the night racing experiment is an enormous success.
33,000 stormed the gates on a Thursday night. Families. Stylin' twentysomethings. One pal reported in that the there was "more talent" in the Turf Club than he'd ever seen. "From age 20 to 50," he said. Kids running around the paddock area, which apparently was bumper to bumper.
Apparently it was a special festive occasion for all involved.
Okay, almost everyone.
One source, a Downs regular for his lifetime, ran across board chairman Carl Pollard during the evening. My guy was exuberant, greeted Pollard and said something like, "You guys finally did something right. This is great. What a night."
To which joy, Pollard scrooged, "They're not betting."
Gee, I dunno, Mr. Chairman, but didn't all those people who wouldn't normally be there have to pay admission, and pay for parking, and pay for libations and food. Maybe even bought a souvenir or two. And, hey, I bet between the socializing, some of them even laid down a wager or three.
It was the track's most hopeful situation in years. And the Chairman of the Board still wasn't satisfied.
Give that guy a laxative.

This module tackles fundamental questions about our Solar System. How did it form and how has it evolved? Why aren't all the planets like Earth? How and why did life arise on Earth? Has life arisen elsewhere in the Solar System or beyond, and could it be intelligent? You'll look at the exploration of the Solar System by spacecraft; planetary processes such as volcanism and impacts; the structure of planets and their atmospheres; and asteroids, comets and meteorites. You'll use web-based resources and electronic conferencing extensively. Although the module is intended for a wide range of people, a background in science is required.
OU qualifications are modular in structure; the credits from this undergraduate-level module could count towards a certificate of higher education, diploma of higher education, foundation degree or honours degree.

The module comprises two parts, each consisting of a full-colour book. DVD and web-based material support and extend the two parts and are an integral part of the module.
An Introduction to the Solar System: we begin with a look at our own Solar System, examining the layout of the planets and their basic physical properties. You will learn about the structure and origin of the Solar System, and about the differences and similarities between Solar System bodies, from meteorites, asteroids and comets to the giant gas planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. You will also see how planetary processes such as impact cratering and volcanism have shaped the surfaces of many bodies in the Solar System, and explore the processes at work in the atmospheres of both terrestrial and giant planets. Throughout this first part, you will see how our knowledge has been added to from a wide range of space missions.
A range of activities support this first part, including extensive computer and web-based activities. For example, you will use computer spreadsheets to investigate some of the theoretical ideas that are presented in the module. The web provides a source of up-to-date information about planetary geology, space missions and experiments, and we will keep you abreast of developments by links to relevant web-based material on the module website.
An Introduction to Astrobiology: the Earth, given our present state of knowledge, is unique in that it sustains a diverse range of life. But how does a habitable planet arise, and what are the chances of other Earth-like planets elsewhere in the Universe? These are the exciting topics of a rapidly advancing field of planetary science known as astrobiology. We begin this second part with a look at how life might have arisen on Earth, where the basic building blocks for life came from and how widespread these might be in the Universe. You will learn about other bodies in our own Solar System that may have the right conditions for life, and examine how we might go about deciding if there is, or has ever been, life elsewhere in the Solar System. Moving on from our own Solar System, we will examine the methods used to assess and characterise planets around other stars and consider what proportion of these may be capable of sustaining life. Finally, we will examine the possibility of intelligent life existing elsewhere in the Universe and look at humankind's attempts to search for it.
The module is taught via a combination of online and face to face tutorials. You will have a personal tutor and you will be a member of a tutorial group. You will have extensive communications with your tutor and fellow students through email and the online discussion forum. If you are new to the OU, you will find that your tutor will be particularly concerned to help you with your study methods.
Contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service if you want to know more about study with The Open University before you register.
The assessment details for this module can be found in the facts box above.
You will be expected to submit your tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) online through the eTMA system unless there are some difficulties which prevent you from doing so. In these circumstances, you must negotiate with your tutor to get their agreement to submit your assignment on paper.
The TMAs are designed to provide you with regular, targeted feedback in order to help you learn and to assess your own progress towards meeting the learning outcomes. You are required to send answers to your tutor in response to detailed questions and problems that address the various topics studied throughout the module.
Your final module result will be determined by the marks you achieve in your examination. However, you will also need to achieve a certain standard in your TMAs in order to pass the module.
The details given here are for the module that starts in October 2014. We expect it to be available once a year.
As a student of The Open University, you should be aware of the content of the Module Regulations and the Student Regulations which are available on our Essential documents website.
See the satisfaction survey results for this course.
The module is intended for a wide range of people, so the amount of mathematics is modest: it includes simple algebra and graphs; powers of ten; graphs showing relationships between values of two quantities. Angles measured in both degrees and radians, and the sine and cosine of an angle occur in the text in several places. Several algebraic equations are used, but you have to manipulate only a handful of fairly simple equations. You must be able to put values into algebraic equations to obtain a result, and we give you practice in solving such problems. You do not have to remember lengthy equations and the values of physical constants, as they will be given in the examination paper. You must be competent with a scientific calculator; if you are not, you will need to refer to your calculator manual.
With proper preparation, this module is suitable for those who want to develop their understanding of planetary science: anyone who has a general interest; amateur geologists and astronomers; and schoolteachers (at all levels) who want to use the enormous appeal of the subject matter to enhance their teaching of science.
You are not expected to have any knowledge of planetary science, but we recommend that you do not attempt this module without a sound knowledge of science from our OU level 1 modules.
A pass in Exploring science (S104) will provide appropriate science and maths preparation, though if you are not confident in your maths ability then you should also study Maths for science (S151). Using mathematics (MST121) is another option for meeting the maths requirement; this exceeds the level of mathematics required for S283, but you will need to study this module if you are planning to study OU level 3 modules in physics and astronomy.
It is essential that you establish whether or not your background and experience give you a sound basis on which to tackle the module, since students who are appropriately prepared have the best chance of completing their studies successfully. The Science Faculty has produced a booklet Are You Ready For S283? to help you to decide whether you already have the recommended background knowledge or experience to start the module or whether you need a little extra preparation. This can be viewed or printed from the Are you ready for science? website. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the module, please contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.

General manager not coming back Aaron Wilson
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has gotten rid of general manager Jeff Ireland, effective immediately.
The Dolphins announcing the parting of the ways as mutual.
"I want to personally thank Jeff for his hard work and dedication in building the team over the past six years," Ross said in a statement. "After a series of discussions, we both felt that it was in our mutual best interest to part ways. Jeff was a loyal and dedicated member of the Dolphins and we wish him and his family nothing but the best."
Added Ireland: "I've spent the last six years with the best organization in football. Steve and I came to an agreement that the best thing moving forward for all parties would be to part ways. I'd like to thank Steve for all his support and kindness. I've had the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people during this time and I'd like to thank them all from the bottom of my heart."
