The North Carolina Department of Transportation estimates that 1.3 million people will move to the Triangle in the next 10 years. And more people mean more cars on the roads and more projects to help ease traffic congestion.
One of those projects is the new "Fortify" project.
"Fortify was something that I, as secretary, did not want to do until we had 540 completed," said DOT Secretary Tony Tata.
"Fortify" is the DOT's project to remove and replace an 11.5 mile stretch of roadway along the south side of the beltline. The hope was that the completed 540 loop would help give people an alternate route for traveling and help avoid some of the delays associated with the Fortify closures.

"The engineers came back to me and said, 'This is a safety issue' and 540 will not be completed before the three engineer reports came in and said, 'This road is disintegrating under this pretty asphalt. The concrete is disintegrating'," said Tata.
That's why both the Fortify project and the completion of 540 are at the top of the DOT's to-do list, but they are not the only projects on the list. Tata says one of things that's a big deal is DMV reform, which some drivers are happy to hear about.
"I know the DMV has a really bad reputation of being kind of hell-like for people. And if they were more accommodating for people, people might not dread it as much," said Kelly Hince.
Some drivers say it's about customer service or, more precisely, the lack thereof.
"I think the DMV should change with the times that we're in and be a little more customer service savvy and a little more geared to the people they're serving," said William Monday.
And that's what Tata is hoping for, a more user friendly experience at DMV locations in the state.
"A greeter that comes up and you know, welcomes you and asks you what it is that you need accomplished today and then directs you to the right spot," said Tata.
Tata would also like a more common sense approach for their legislative agenda addressing the license needs of people who move here from another state.
"We would like to be able to accept your credentials and just issue you a license," Tata said. "If you can pass a real quick eye test or whatever, instead of assuming that just because you've moved from another state you've suddenly forgotten how to drive."
And with the possibility of extreme growth in the Triangle, it's hard not to discuss some form of mass transit.
"We think ultimately Raleigh Union Station will be a hub for some type of mass transit, whether it's busses or bus rapid transit or light rail or commuter rail, or any kind combination thereof," said Tata.
But traffic isn't just about vehicles anymore; it's also about fitting the needs of those who walk and bike to places.
With so many different projects in the works, one question remains, "who's footing the bill?"
Tata suggests a vehicle miles traveled, or a VMT tax, could help. A driver would pay a certain amount based on a yearly odometer reading. All the money is distributed according to the new strategic transportation investment law. Under the new law, money will be distributed to the 14 DOT divisions based on need, instead of equal amounts to each division.
Though drivers could see changes, the DOT hopes their plans will keep Triangle roadways moving and keep commuters content.

Five traveller caravans have pulled on to land adjacent to Creekmoor's park-and-ride site.
Three of the caravans arrived last week, with the other two arriving sometime over the weekend.
Borough of Poole officers have visited the site, which they say is being kept clean and are collecting rubbish.

Man's best friend.
2013 is going to be an amazing year.
Here's the schedule for this comet.
August and September 2013. The comet should become visible in August and September 2013 to observers at dark locations using small telescopes or possibly even binoculars.
October 2013. Comet ISON should become visible to the unaided eye, but only barely in the early part of the month. The comet will be sweeping in front of the constellation Leo then. It'll pass first near Leo's brightest star Regulus, then near the planet Mars. Maybe these brighter objects will help you find it that month. Meanwhile, the comet itself will be getting brighter during October.
November 2013. Comet ISON will continue to brighten throughout the month as it nears its late November perihelion (closest point to our sun). Plus ISON will pass very close to the bright star Spica and the planet Saturn, both in the constellation Virgo. Its perihelion (closest point to our sun) on November 28 will be an exciting time. The comet will come within 800,000 miles (1.2 million km) of our sun's surface. If all goes well, and the comet doesn't break up (as comets sometimes do), the terrific heating Comet ISON will undergo when it's closest to our parent star might turn the comet into a brilliant object. Some are predicting that ISON will become as bright as a full moon! That would make Comet ISON a daylight object, briefly. Remember, though, at perihelion, Comet ISON will appear close to the sun on the sky's dome (only 4.4° north of the sun on November 28). Although the comet will be bright, you'll need to look carefully to see it in the sun's glare. Some expert help around this time might be called for, and we'll announce comet-viewing parties as we hear about them.
December 2013. This may be the best month to see Comet ISON, assuming it has survived its close pass near the sun intact. The comet will be visible both in the evening sky after sunset and in the morning sky before sunrise. As ISON's distance from the sun increases, it'll grow dimmer. But, for a time, it should be as bright as our sky's brightest planet, Venus, and it should have a long comet tail. People all over Earth will be able to see it, but it'll be best seen from the Northern Hemisphere as 2013 draws to a close.
January 2014. Will ISON still be visible to the eye? Hopefully. And on January 8, 2014, the comet will lie only 2° from Polaris — the North Star.
If this doesn't deserve a reblog I'm not sure what does.
Know where you stand.

When looking ahead to the tiebreakers that would be needed in the event of a tie atop the division with the Bears, I am pleased to report that the Vikings are in GREAT position. Let's take a look:
Firstly, the only thing I am going to assume is that the Vikings beat Detroit. If one can assume anything, it must be this.
Case: Minnesota wins 2 out of 3 from: (@Ari, Atl, NYG)
This leaves the Vikings at 10-6. Chicago would then need to go 4-0 (Jac, NO, GB, @Hou) in order to tie us atop the division. In this case, we would both be 4-2 in the division, so we would then move on to the next tiebreaker, record in common games (AFC South and NFC South). The Vikings are 4-3 with Atl remaining. The Bears would be 4-4. So if the Vikings beat Atlanta, they win the division. If they lose to Atlanta, we would move on to the next tiebreaker, which is Conference record. Minnesota would be 8-4, and Chicago would be 7-5.
Summary: If the Vikings win 2 of their last 3, Chicago would need to go 4-0 to tie. But Chicago would lose any potential tiebreaker.
Verdict: Vikings chance of winning division a 100% MORTAL LOCK.
Case: Vikings win 1 out of 3 from (@Ari, Atl, NYG). Vikings finish 9-7. If Chicago wins out (4-0 against Jac, NO, GB, @Hou), then they win the division. If Chicago wins 3 out of 4, then we would be tied at 9-7. If Chicago's loss is to GB, then we would win the divisional record tiebreaker. If Chicago's loss is to Jac, NO, or Hou, then we would proceed to a common games tiebreaker. Chicago would be 3-5 in common games. Vikings would be 4-3 + a W or L to Atlanta. So Vikings would win the division.
Summary: If the Vikings win 1 of their last 3, Chicago would need to win all 4 remaining games to win the division. If they go 3-1, the Vikings win all tie breakers.
Verdict: Vikings chances of winning division are extremely good.
Case: Vikings lose all 3 of their remaining games (@Ari, Atl, NYG). This leaves the Vikings at 8-8. If Chicago goes 4-0 or 3-1, they win the division. If they go 2-2, we would be tied at 8-8. If one of Chicago's losses is to GB, we win the divisional record tiebreaker. If Chicago beats GB, we win the common games tiebreaker.
Summary: If the Vikings win 0 of theur last 3, then Chicago would need to go 4-0 or 3-1 over their last 4 to win the division. If they go 2-2, the Vikings win all tiebreakers.
Verdict: Vikings chances of winning the division are alive and healthy, despite potentially gonig into the playoffs with a 3 game losing streak.
Summary of Summaries: In essence, the Vikings will win any tiebreaker againt Chicago, so you can assume that the Vikings have a 2 game lead in the division right now. If we beat Detroit, there are only 3 games remaining, and we'll have at at-worst lead of 2 games over the Bears. So the only way we lose the division is if we only win 1 of our remaining 3 games and Chicago wins all 4 remaining games (highly unlikely), or we lose all 3 remaining games and Chicago wins at least 3 of 4 of their remaining games (certainly possible, certainly not probable).
So there you go. Talk of needing to win 2 of 3 out of @Ari, Atl, NYG is now false. In fact, if we win 1 of these games, the only way we lose the division is if Chicago wins all 4 remaining games. In other words, we are looking good.
Chances of Vikings making the playoffs: 75%

CATEGORIES MoviesDaisy, Gatsby and Nick took the night off from opulent jazz parties in Long Island to make it to "The Great Gatsby" world premiere in NYC.
Oh, we mean Carey, Leo and Tobey. Sorry, wishful thinking!
All the stars of Baz Luhrmann's extravagant "Gatsby" adaptation were in full, glamorous form at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall last night (May 1). Leading man Leonardo DiCaprio did Jay Gatsby proud in a navy blue suit and slicked backed hair. Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher looked beautiful -- as expected. Mulligan opted for classic elegance in a strapless, red tea-length dress, while Fisher was a little more daring in a Dolce & Gabbana floral print, lace gown. Tobey Maguire was on hand also looking handsome in a blue suit, but had an added accessory with his adorable wife Jennifer on his arm.
"The Great Gatsby" is, of course, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel about the wealthy and mysterious Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), and his love for the very beautiful -- yet very married -- Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan). The 3D spectacle is set in 1920s Long Island, where the excess and opulence of the Jazz Age thrived.
Check out the photos below. "The Great Gatsby" swings into theaters May 10.

This week, much of the positive talk has centered around the positive improvement of the team in certain areas while the negative talk has centered around the utter failures at another. So in the spirit of both, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought the starting lineups will be next year. Now I'm all for outside the box, but lets assume that Tom Brady ends up somehow playing on the Jaguars at Quarterback next year. On a different tangent, feel free to place a rookie card down, and if you would like throw in a name and/or a round that you'd like to see the player selected. Free agency is also an option. Also, feel free to throw in backups names for positions like QB or RB and lets stay with 4 WRs.
My Starting Line-Up 2011
Offense: Not a lot of Question Marks among the skill positions. The only competitions I could foresee is a potential QB battle between Garrard and I higher round draft pick and the interior line having to compete with possible rookies as well. However, as long as they stay healthy they have kept their starting roles for 2011, but 2012 will probably be the end of the line for some.
QB: David Garrard (1st String)
Backup: Pat Devlin (Rookie 2nd-3rd Round: When I saw the speedy release, size, and arm that Devlin had in just one game I was convinced that he'd be worth a 2nd round pick.)
RB2: Rashad Jennings
FB: Greg Jones
LT: Monroe
G1, 2: Vince and Uche (interior line would be a good place for a late round prospect)
C: Meester (center is an interesting position that would be nice to address but is not one of the most pressing needs on the team, and could probably wait another year, plus Estes has drawn positive reviews)
RT: Britton
TE1: Marcedes Lewis (Pay the Man)
TE2: Zach Miller
WR: 1. MSW (Pay him too)
WR2: Mike Thomas
WR3: Jason Hill
WR4: Jarrett Dillard
I expect Jason Hill vs Dillard to be one of the most important matchups of training camp next year, because the winner will see a lot of playing time, while the loser, not so much. I have a good feeling about Hill, and as one person on this site alluded too he could be our version of Brandon Lloyd, a bust in the wrong situation but a star in the other.
On another note, with the emergence and depth of our wide receivers along with the probable drafting of a more passing quarterback we may see the development of a more west coast offense that takes advantage of the speed that the offense possesses.
In this case, consider the offensive diversity that the Jaguars could achieve, one second pound the living crap out of you the next a finesse Manning-like attack. Almost like a San Diego of a few years ago with LT plus Rivers but with arguably better receivers. Plus you have the whole Gates Lewis analogy.
Starting Defense 2011:
1DE's: Kampman Mincey
DT: Knighton, Alualu, Smith rotates in
LBs: Smith as a definite starter, Durant and Morrison as question marks. I'd like to see a rookie drafted around round 4-5 especially one that excels in pass defense. Almost like a big strong safety that could maybe come in as a 3rd down backer.
CBs: Cox is coming on strong, while Mathis' return is a major question mark. He reminds me of a John Henderson, a guy who has a little left in the tank, but not enough to contribute to a team on the ascent. However, there is a chance he is moved to free safety, where he may excel. I'd like to see our 3rd-4th round pick on another corner and I'd really like to see David Jones in the nickel.
SS: Greene and a cheap Free Agent Aquisition or late round rookie as a backup. Good-Bye Considine, but if you must stay lets just keep you on special teams.
FS: Rookie/Free Agent: While there has been talk about Mathis switching to FS I don't see it as a real consideration from the Jaguars organization as they have never hinted at it in the past. I would like our 1st round pick to be spent on a FS unless there is a extremely good QB, LB, or CB available in the draft.
Kicker and punter remain the same.

no ouchHard to see because we work & move so quickly(!), but the knee pads did their job & there was no pain in the days that followed. We could reach the first half from the curb side, but used the planks to lay out over the remainder while fastening the cables.
10-years on the cables & 1-year on the controls. The owners decided they wanted a redundant set installed just in case one of the multiple (yet to be installed) circuits fails.
Stairway next & then we'll tackle the upper grand entrance area. This started out as a hydronic system during my initial design-phase 1.5-years ago, but the owners wanted to utilize electric.
5 years ago, a job like this would have gone from design-to-bid-to-installed in weeks. Seems like the economy has stretched out the process by miles & the hours of work it takes to land bids have expanded exponentially. The race may still be with the swift, but they're racing a longer distance these days!This post was edited by an admin on July 31, 2011 9:12 AM.

FILE - This is an undated photo provided by the Ohio Dept. of Rehabilitation and Corrections shows Michael Webb. (AP Photo/Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction)
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Parole Board plans to announce Wednesday whether to recommend mercy for a death row inmate who says updated arson science could help exonerate him in the blaze that killed his 3-year-old son.
Michael Webb says a new analysis of the 1990 fire shows it could have started just about anywhere on the main floor of his house, a finding that points to another culprit.
Prosecutors say his argument is nothing new and not backed by the evidence.
Webb wants a pardon or, at the very least, time to make a request for a new trial.
Defense attorneys around the country are using the latest research on fire to challenge arson convictions, in much the same way they have used DNA to exonerate people convicted of murder.

Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - An Obama administration pronouncement has Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer considering a reduced set of options on whether to provide government-paid Medicaid health coverage to more low-income Arizonans.
Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson says it's a game-changer that states cannot get the same high reimbursement rate for a partial Medicaid eligibility as they can for the full expansion included in Obama's health law.
The cost difference for Arizona is estimate at more than $300 million.
For now at least, that leaves Arizona with the options of only implementing relatively small eligibility changes still mandated by the law and of going for the full expansion that's optional for states.

Fighting for 2012 seat, Senate candidate brings up GOP star
By Amy Sherman
Published on Thursday, June 16th, 2011 at 12:01 p.m.
Adam Hasner, a former state legislator from Palm Beach County running in the 2012 GOP primary for U.S. Senate, portrays opponent George LeMieux as being cozy with former Gov. Charlie Crist -- who defected from the GOP to become an independent in the midst of his failed U.S. Senate bid in 2010.
And if association with Crist and Democratic President Barack Obama is supposed to be the kiss of death for a Republican in Florida, Hasner hopes that any inkling of criticism of GOP superstar Florida U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is an even worse offense in a Republican primary.
On June 10, 2011, Hasner released an Internet ad called "Get to know the real George LeMieux" with mournful music as the backdrop.
The ad makes a series of allegations against LeMieux. We decided to focus on the two that included references to Rubio.
First, Hasner said that LeMieux "falsely attacked Marco Rubio." The ad doesn't say what the attack was, or why it was false, but we tracked it back to comments LeMieux made about a tax plan Rubio floated in 2007 while Florida House speaker. LeMieux said the plan constituted "the largest tax increase in Florida history."
But that's not right.
Rubio actually proposed to eliminate property taxes on all primary residences. To make up for some of that revenue, however, the state sales tax would be increased by 2.5 cents per dollar -- subject to voter approval.
What would be the overall effect to taxpayers? The swap would save taxpayers a total of $5.8 billion in the first year, according to a state analysis.
So we rated Hasner's claim Mostly True.
The second claim was that LeMieux "even compared Marco Rubio to Barack Obama." But we found that LeMieux didn't compare Rubio and Obama on any substantive issue like those listed at the start of the ad. Instead, he said Rubio and Obama both used a familiar campaign tactic, throwing "bombs" about something they didn't have to vote on themselves.
The ad provided no explanation for how he compared the two politicians and also neglected to note that LeMieux supported Rubio's campaign once Crist left the GOP.
We rated that Hasner claim Barely True.
See individual items.

WHO Under Siege By Private Sector, Group AssertsPublished on 13 March 2012 @ 3:39 pm
Intellectual Property Watch
The World Health Organization is under siege by private sector forces using their financial leverage to gain undue influence in the financially beleaguered United Nations agency, a developing country-oriented group has said.
A recent piece for the non-governmental Third World Network made the assertion based on developments such as the presence of Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates sharing the stage with WHO Director General Margaret Chan at the WHO members annual meeting last year, and the presence of industry interests at a civil society meeting before last year's UN summit on noncommunicable diseases.
In general, WHO's move toward a stronger "partnership" approach with the private sector has raised concern, it said. It also noted the private-sector influence in the increasingly powerful global public health foundations, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Cold weather workers
OKALOOSA COUNTY - The cold and wind made it a long day for people who work outside. Lots of people have no choice but to brave the elements.
Laura Hussey "Look at those plants bending in the wind. We're at Destin on the Gulf condos, and if you think it's bad here, imagine what it's like seven stories up"
The crew from Destin Premier Carpet Cleaning is getting condos ready for the holidays. No matter how high the job, they have to haul their hoses from the ground up. The higher you go, the heavier they get. And you can't ignore the temperature.
David Rounsaville "It's extremely cold. Once you get up about 9 or 10 floors on these buildings, you really feel that 30 mile an hour wind"
The wind complicates everything. Owner David Rounsaville says it makes the equipment risky to work with.
David Rounsaville "We have to secure it in several spots coming down. Oherwise you could have this huge whiplash and injure someone"
At the intersection of Eglin Parkway and Racetrack Road, Grant Tucker is proving you can use a fur hat in Florida. He says between insulated clothes and constant movement, he does alright in the cold. But he could do without the wind.
Grant Tucker "It's just hard to deal with 'cause I have to hold that sign, and that sign is doing a lot of that"
Inside the Precision Tune garage, mechanics are bundled up against the breeze that blows through the open doors.
Like Rounsaville and his crew, they knew what was in store when they got up this morning.
David Rounsaville "You have to do it. If I don't do it, my competitor will"

Uncertainty among U.S. legislators felt in Syria
Floridians with ties to Syria feeling anxious
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The countdown to a congressional vote on a potential military strike in Syria is on. Congress is expected to take up a vote Tuesday.
The uncertainty is causing anxiety for some south Floridians with loved ones in the potential strike zone. They are keeping in close contact with those loved ones on the phone and through social media. The conversations are all hinging on what the U.S. does next.
26-year old Samir spoke live via Skype from syria on Friday night.
"Yes. I'm in Damascus," he said. Samir is having a real-life, real-time conversation with his friend, Habib Alzein, who lives in West Palm Beach.
"The main discussion everyday is Obama," said Alzein. "They think day in and day out about what Obama is saying." Uncertainty of how President Barack Obama - and congress - will act, is causing uncertainty about life - and potentially death - in Damascus.
A majority vote in the Senate for a military strike in Syria will be an uphill battle. In the House, there may be an even steeper path for the president. Still he is pressing on as the world watches and listens.
Alzein, who was born and raised in Syria, says that he is having to ask his loved ones overseas to prepare for anything. His older sister in Damascus writes to him via Facebook saying, "We are very afraid. Nobody goes outside the home. I am in my home for almost two weeks."
The president takes his plans to the American people on Tuesday night with an address from Washington, D.C.

NEW YORK – For the past six years, Elaine Tettemer Marshall, the fourth-richest woman in the United States, has avoided the spotlight that ordinarily accompanies great wealth.
The 70-year-old Dallas resident controls almost 15 percent of Koch Industries, the second-largest closely held company in the U.S. Her stake in the industrial conglomerate, which generates annual sales of $110 billion, is worth more than $12.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which has expanded to 100 names.
The only American women richer are Wal-Mart Stores heiresses Alice and Christy Walton and candy scion Jacqueline Mars.
Marshall, who gained control of the Koch stake after the death of her husband, E. Pierce Marshall, in 2006, has never appeared on an international wealth ranking, although her estate has been at the center of two Supreme Court cases involving her mother-in-law, Anna Nicole Smith.
The Marshalls have never been a lightning rod because they've never been in the public view financially, said Richard Lieb, a research professor of bankruptcy law at St. John's University School of Law in New York, who filed briefs to the Supreme Court with his students when the cases were being heard.
No one went after them to find out what their evil deeds were, if any.
Marshall's ability to stay out of the limelight stands in contrast to her father-in-law, J. Howard Marshall II, who had been a Koch shareholder for more than two decades and created a spectacle with his 1994 marriage to Smith, then a 26-year-old Playboy model, whom he wed at 89.
Since then, the Marshall fortune has been in a near-constant state of turmoil.
In April 1995, four months before J. Howard Marshall II's death, Smith sued his son, Pierce, in Harris County, Texas, probate court, accusing him of interfering with his father's ability to provide her spousal support.
The lawsuit was the first in a stream of legal cases that led to a 16-year battle between Smith and Pierce Marshall, the end of which neither would live to see. Marshall succumbed to an infection in 2006 at 67; Smith died of a drug overdose at 39 in a Florida hotel in 2007.
Fending off brothers
The partnership between the Koch and Marshall families began in 1959, when Koch Industries founder Fred Koch acquired a 35 percent stake in Great Northern Oil, a Minnesota refinery co-founded by J. Howard Marshall II, for about $5 million in cash.
A decade later, Koch's second oldest son, Charles, offered to swap the rest of Marshall's stake in Great Northern for Koch Industries shares.
He took stock rather than cash – and held onto it, said Robert L. Bradley Jr., editor of J. Howard Marshall II's autobiography, Done in Oil, in an email. The stock appreciated into something very, very large.
In 1974, at the wedding reception of his oldest son, J. Howard Marshall III, the elder Marshall gave each of his two sons 4 percent of Koch Industries voting stock, telling them, Boys, these are the crown jewels, take care of them, according to documents filed by the U.S. District Court for California's Central District in Santa Ana in 2002.
Those jewels played a crucial role in an attempted boardroom coup six years later, when two of Charles Koch's brothers tried to oust him as CEO. With some cousins and several allies, Bill Koch and Frederick Koch controlled about 48 percent of the votes, and they turned to J. Howard Marshall II's sons to gain the majority needed to displace Charles.
Howard III sided with the dissident brothers; his younger brother, Pierce, rejected their plea.
His loyalty tied to Charles Koch, J. Howard Marshall II thwarted the coup by buying back his oldest son's voting stock for $8 million. According to court documents, Marshall subsequently disinherited Howard III, considering the $8 million payment an early inheritance.
Howard III contested his father's will in Harris County probate court in 1995. But Pierce Marshall, who was left in charge of his father's estate after his death, countersued, claiming his older brother committed fraud when he sold his Koch Industries voting stock back to their father at an inflated price.
The court sided with the estate. According to the verdict, rendered in 2001, Howard III had engaged in fraud by stating a claim to his father's inheritance, and he was ordered to pay about $11 million to various Marshall family trusts. He and his wife, Ilene, filed for bankruptcy in Los Angeles in 2002.
Fending off stripper
While dueling with his brother, Pierce Marshall was also fending off charges from Anna Nicole Smith, who filed for bankruptcy in 1996.
During the bankruptcy proceedings, the former stripper, whose given name was Vickie Lynn Hogan, claimed her late husband had intended to set up a trust in her benefit. The trust was to have contained a sum equal to half of the increased value of Marshall's assets during their marriage.
Pierce Marshall, Smith claimed, illegally interfered with the trust's creation.
In 2000, the U.S. bankruptcy court for California's Central District in Los Angeles awarded Smith about $475 million in damages, determining that Pierce Marshall had deprived her of her expectancy of a substantial inter vivos gift from her deceased husband.
The court based the award on the testimony of Smith's expert witness, who offered three valuation methods for Howard Marshall's stake in Koch Industries. The court found that the most appropriate measure estimated the stake's value had grown from $741 million at the time of Smith and Marshall's marriage to more than $1.6 billion in 1999.
Pierce Marshall appealed the decision. This time, the court based its verdict on the book value gain of J. Howard Marshall II's stake in Koch from 1994 to 1995, as recorded in credit approval presentations to Texas Commerce Bank. The stake was worth $780 million at the end of 1995, according to the court.
Smith never got a dollar. The Harris County probate court, where she had filed her first lawsuit against Pierce Marshall, ruled in 2001 that she had no valid claim to the estate.
In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Smith's case on the issue of federal jurisdiction over probate matters. The court ruled in favor of the Smith estate and sent the case back to California's Central District Court, which reaffirmed its earlier verdict in favor of Smith. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the District Court in 2010, as it had in 2004.
So five years after its first ruling, the Supreme Court again took up Smith's case, this time on another jurisdiction question. In its decision, the court upheld the ruling from the 9th Circuit Court, which stated that the California-based bankruptcy court lacked the constitutional authority to award Smith a claim over the Texas-based Marshall estate.
Setting up his wife
After the first Supreme Court decision in 2006, Pierce Marshall transferred his Koch stake, held by a company called Trof Inc., into a grantor retained annuity trust, or GRAT, named Staurolite.
Marshall owned all of Trof, according to the 2002 District Court ruling. Trof held 14.6 percent of Koch Industries, according to a 2001 application to the Federal Communications Commission, which was submitted by a company in which a Koch subsidiary held an interest.
Pierce Marshall was listed as Staurolite's grantor and Elaine as the trustee, according to the trust agreement. Pierce also created his will at that time, leaving the majority of his estate to Elaine and appointing her as the executrix.
In his will, Pierce Marshall directed that, upon his death, all of his interest in Staurolite be transferred to the EPM Marital Income Trust, of which Elaine Marshall is the trustee. He died six weeks after signing his will.
In a brief submitted to the Supreme Court in March 2009, Howard K. Stern, the executor of the Anna Nicole Smith estate, accused the late Pierce Marshall of moving the family's most valuable asset, Koch Industries stock, outside of his estate.
Elaine Marshall responded in a court declaration that the creation of the will and GRAT was the result of 18 months of planning, reparation and drafting and was not caused by the Supreme Court's decision that granted jurisdiction to the District Court in 2006 over Smith's claim.

As conditions start to clear up along highways and main roads around East Tennessee, rural counties are still dealing with ice covered roads.
In Cocke County, they were hit hard by the icy conditions. The Highway Department said the icy roads were so bad they had to stop for the day. They will be back out treating them again in the morning.
Cocke County isn't the only place struggling with enough resources to cover the roads.
The Union County Highway Department has been patrolling the roads since the snow hit.
Since this county is filled with hills and narrow passages, creating a safe roadway can be tricky.
David Cox is the road superintendent in Union County. His rural county has limited resources and a tight budget. Cox says in order to keep costs down while maintaining the roadways, they spread a fine gravel substance over the ice called "Chat."
Its purpose is to create traction on top of the ice for cars to drive safely on until the ice melts.
As the community awaits the warmth to melt away the dangerous roads, they are finding other uses for them. One group of young men from Union County took their 4-wheelers for a spin around the neighborhood.
While they have made their way around town, they noticed multiple cars that slid off the road.
Justin Schreieck lives in Maynardville where his neighborhood is covered in ice.
"I have lived here about five years now. From my house out to Highway 33, which is only about a mile and a half, it is solid ice like this road here," said Schreieck.
He said his neighbors know it's inconvenient, but have learned to cope with the conditions through slower driving and taking their time.
Union County does still plan to have a crew out overnight. And in Cocke County they will be back out early Tuesday morning.

Being with family today is a tradition many look forward to, but what would you do if you couldn't have that meal or meet with them?
Sioux City's Gospel Mission has been putting on an Thanksgiving feast for decades. Hannah McCuddin has served Thanksgiving dinners there before.
"This is probably my fifth or sixth year that I've done it with my family," said McCuddin of Sloan, Iowa.
Although she's spent the fall semester in Ames, McCuddin is back in Sioux City for that family tradition. Three generations of her family are volunteering at the Gospel Mission.
"We like to get my grandma involved with more things because her husband passed away a couple years ago. We just like doing things as a family. It helps bring us together," said McCuddin.
Diane Sorenson and Scott Chaussee have both volunteered before, but it's their first time doing it together.
"I've done this in the past, different part of the country, on the West Coast. And I've always enjoyed it. It's a great way to take the focus off yourself and put it on others who are less fortunate," said Chaussee.
Volunteers say they started working on this meal Wednesday night, whipping up hundreds of pounds of ham, spuds, and side dishes.
The Gospel Mission carved up more than 300 pounds of turkey Thursday, but here in the freezer, they've got dozens more that they can use later on.
With each full plate, they serve up, Mission officials are happy to be able to deliver more than just a meal.
"Thanksgiving is just really a day of praise, giving thanks to the Lord, because He's the one that's made all of this possible," said Rev. Harold Youtzy, Jr., executive director of the Gospel Mission.
"You see a lot of people that don't have that opportunity," said Chaussee. "So, this just makes you feel good about doing this and seeing what you can make people smile."
This year, the Gospel Mission expected the turnout to be about 200 to 250 people.

What has recently happened again here in the good-old U.S.A. is very sad, especially for those who were directly affected. It is also sad that the one (Boston Marathon bombing suspect) had to be killed without a chance to learn a better way of life.
It is also sad to hear that the younger brother (and other bombing suspect), who is still alive, had written somewhere that he doesn't have one friend here in the USA, and that he just cannot understand the people here.
Is it any wonder when mostly what those people see is what is on TV every day, specifically the awful movies that come out of Hollywood, or wherever, packed full of violence, immortality and all that is evil.
And then they hear that we are a Christian nation. And even among professing Christians, the love of money and affluent lifestyles seems to be the acceptable thing in our day — what we seem strive for. May God help us. Maybe our nation is ready for judgment.

After Another Tough Shooting Night, Melo Promises Knicks Will Adjust
NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony's shoulder is barking.
He is shooting horribly.
His team is facing a younger, bigger and more physical team.
And the Knicks are now down 1-0 in their Eastern Conference playoff series after the Indiana Pacers stole Game 1, 102-95 at Madison Square Garden.
But Melo says there's no cause for alarm.
"This was the first game," Anthony said after shooting 10-of-28 for 27 points.
"They outworked us, they outplayed us today and they stole one on our home court. We'll go back tomorrow and make our adjustments for Tuesday's game. I'll leave those calls up to Coach [Mike] Woodson and his staff to figure that out. And we'll come back with our adjustments being made here on Tuesday."
After taking a 3-0 lead on the Celtics in the first round, the Knicks have now lost three of their last four playoff games.
During those four games, Anthony has gone 35-of-110 from the field and 2-of-22 from the arc.
Make no mistake, the Knicks won't be able to reach their goals if those numbers continue.
"They're being really physical with Melo," teammate Raymond Felton said after scoring 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting. "They banging him, they hitting him, they going at his shoulder."
Kevin Garnett tugged on Anthony's left arm in Game 5 of the Celtics series, causing Anthony to wince in pain. Avery Bradley then collided with Anthony's shoulder in Game 6, and Melo said his shoulder "kinda popped in and out."
He wore a protective sleeve under his jersey against the Pacers and said that made a big difference, even as he was bumped and banged by Paul George and David West while battling his own foul trouble.
"It actually helped it, to be honest with you" he said. "It keeps it in place. I was surprised at some of the hits I was taking today, it wasn't affecting me like it has been in the past….I'll be fine. I've been hit harder than that."
After spending much of the season playing the four in a smaller lineup, Anthony did spend some time at the small forward spot, with both Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin in the Knicks' big lineup.
But he dismissed the lineup change as a contributing factor in the loss.
"They're a bigger team," he said. "We done beat them with me at the four and we done lost to them with me at the four, so I don't want to panic and overanalyze that situation."
The Knicks expect to get Amar'e Stoudemire and Steve Novak back for Game 3, which should give them more size and shooting, but if they are down 0-2 going back to Indiana, it may not even matter.
Anthony did score 15 points in the fourth quarter when the Knicks outscored the Pacers, 31-20, but it was too little, too late.
J.R. Smith had another rough night, going 4-of-15 for 17 points. Chandler was badly outplayed by Roy Hibbert and managed just four points and three boards.
"In order to win this series we need J.R. and Carmelo scoring," Felton said in the understatement of the year.
During Melo's surge in the fourth quarter, the Garden fans dutifully chanted "MVP"
But his latest struggles came on the same day that LeBron James officially won his fourth MVP in five years, garnering 120 of 121 possible votes.
(Who voted for Melo? We still don't know. Read that story here.)
Anthony got the only other first-place vote and finished third behind King James and Kevin Durant, who earlier Sunday led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 93-91 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
"I'll take that vote," Anthony cracked.
"I came in this season with a total different mindset than I had in the past, as far as me as an individual, as far as our team. My goals was to win 50 games this year, to win our division, to get out the first round, and hopefully make it past the second round.
"That was my goals. So far everything's been going the way I planned it, the way I saw it, and we still here. So far as the MVP thing goes, LeBron gets it. I take my off to him. He deserves it. He had a helluva year. They had a helluva year, to win 27 straight games, you can't top that. So I take my hat off to LeBron for winning that award."
(Meantime, LeBron told ESPN his goal is to be "the best of all time, the greatest of all time and I'm going to put that pressure on myself.")
Everything has gone the way Anthony planned so far, but if Melo and the Knicks are to continue to achieve their preseason goals, things will have to change.
And change quickly beginning in Game 2.

Visited the castle, and Junior was there working. He was overjoyed to have visitors and gave us a lengthy tour of the castle. It really is an amazing place and Junior himself is such a wonderful man. One of the best things we've seen in our travels so far![Caitlin, 09/05/2012]
This is a castle near Greenback, just off Lee Shirley Rd. Junior Banks has been building it for 18 years as a tribute to the ALMIGHTY. Very interesting place.... a CASTLE complete with turrets and cannons.
There was a sign at the road directing us in and a sign on the property that says "Please no visitors after 8 pm" It is, of course, free to view. Junior lives nearby.[Dina B. Reed, 11/08/2010]
Floyd "Junior" Banks started building his huge castle in 1992 out of random bricks, stone and cement -- but he couldn't tell anyone why he was doing it. Ten years later, God told him. There are 30+ themed rooms, including a throne room, dungeon, even a chamber devoted exclusively to evil and the devil.

When not working, I dedicate myself to nurturing my marriage and family, bicycling, reading good literature and not-so-good science fiction. Every summer, the trout of the Big Horn River in Montana compete to connect with the fly-line I cast to them.

I was born and raised in Chicago so I can tell you Chicago is one of the best places to be in the summer but in the winter it is one of the worst! However with the Lakefront, in winter or summer, you can't lose. I am the youngest of four children and my siblings are all grandparents. I have 12 nieces and nephews, 18 great nieces and nephews and 2 great, great nieces! One of the greatest joys in my life is Buttercup my absolutely lovable Shih Tzu.

[Ed. Note: Bumped from FanPosts. Don't know where Nat is getting his info, but I think this is a wonderful thing if it's true.]
Looks like we will be switching to throwbacks full time for the 2010 season. Not a bad move, as i really didn't care for our 08' 09' jerseys. The jerseys from the Georgia Tech game last year are what you'll see in Lane Stadium in 2010.
Personally, as long as the players are having fun, i don't mind a few combinations here and there.
The only change other than the pattern is the new state of the art material that Nike has come up with. All patterns will be sported on the Nike Pro Combat Jerseys.
The only question now is, after 2010, do we still call them throwbacks?
On another note, can't wait to see Darren Evans back on the field!

Retailers are coming off a slow back-to-school shopping season, and the holiday forecast isn't any better.
Retail revenue in November and December should rise 2.4 percent during the biggest shopping period of the year, Chicago-based research firm ShopperTrak said Tuesday. That compares with a 3 percent increase in 2012 from 2011.

I've been thinking about doing this for several years now, and well, this year seems like a good time. I'll either write a novel, or get a fulltime job offer Nov 2 making it impossible to write a novel so it's win win!
From the website:
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing on November 1. The goal is to write a 50,000 word, (approximately 175 page) novel by 11:59:59, November 30.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. This approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
Sooooooo, anybody interested?
I double-dog dare ya!!

'The Talk' heading east in December
- Written by Kimberly C. Roberts
- Published in Entertainment
Hosts of the CBS daytime series "The Talk" recently announced they will venture east for the first time, presenting a week of special episodes shot on location in New York City to air Monday, Dec. 12 through Friday, Dec. 16.
"Just in time for the December holidays, we are taking 'The Talk' to New York City,' said co-host Julie Chen, who made the announcement on a recent episode of the show. "Now, there is no place like New York during the holidays, so we thought that would be the perfect time to take the show on the road."
Chen and co-hosts Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osborne and Sheryl Underwood will be accompanied by new cast member Aisha Tyler as they host the show on location. Along with Underwood, Tyler is the second new co-host tapped for the talk show following the recent departure of Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete. For the past two months, "The Talk" employed a number of recurring guest hosts, including Kris Jenner and Molly Shannon, as Osborne is also taking some time off this fall.
Tyler, who became the first Black actor to land a major role on NBC's megahit "Friends," has talk show experience. In addition to guest hosting "The Talk," she was also one of several guest hosts on CBS' "Late Late Show" in the transitional period between Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson.
Throughout the week, "The Talk" will feature special holiday-themed segments and interviews with an array of celebrity guests and famed New York personalities. For audience and ticketing information while "The Talk" is in New York, viewers can visit http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_talk/tickets/?t=2. "The Talk" airs at 2 p.m. weekdays on CBS.

Chick-Fil-A has gone from fast food restaurant to political battleground after the company's president came out in favor of what he called "traditional marriage." Gay rights advocates are planning nationwide protests and city leaders are vowing to block the building of new Chick-Fil-A stores. Meanwhile, religious leaders are calling for a national day of support for the chain. And just like that, something as simple as eating a sandwich gets politicized. That's the problem with the level of debate in this country. No one wants to sit down and have serious discussions. They just want to call each other names and argue over the symbolism of a chicken sandwich. Does anyone honestly think fighting over Chick-Fil-A will bring a resolution to what's become the most hotly debated social topic of the past 50 years? When the dust has settled, Chick-fil-A will still be a thriving business and we'll be no closer to a resolution. Both sides have serious concerns. It's time to stop looking for things to politicize and start listening to each other. I'm Vanessa Oubre and that's my take. What's yours?

Singled Out: "You Hear Drake, Lil Wayne, J. Cole All Talking About Daddy Issues At Some Point In Time In Their Rhymes"
Tuesday, Dec 17, 2013 2:30PM
[SOHH highlights a hot record on Tuesdays and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the track in Singled Out. After "Degrassi" alumni Deph Naught decoded "ILLEST," Texas rapper Lecrae dissects his "Was It Worth It" Church Clothes 2 record.]
"Was It Worth It" is dope. That's one of my standouts. It's a very meaningful song. It's a song that really resonates.
We were in the studio late night and my man Derek Minor, who is also featured on the song, we were just talking about the struggles of being men who grew up without their fathers and trying to be fathers and trying to figure this out.
It's like, "Man, if only our fathers knew the detriment or the void they caused by them not being around." We were like, "We should talk about it."
The drug era, the crack cocaine era, we talk about how that affected our lives.
We "knew" it was going to go on Church Clothes 2. It was one of those songs that was just special. It was just the realness. For me, that's what I'm all about. I know someone's going to connect to this.
On the song, I'm just bringing it in. When J. Cole was like, 'I let Nas down,' we've all felt like that at some point and time within hip-hop. When you look at a lot of these guys, a lot of us didn't grow up with our fathers. You hear Drake, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, all talking about daddy issues at some point in time in their rhymes so I was like, 'Let's make a song out of it.'

Number of ratings 33 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
To quote the Great Gatsby 'he turned out alright in the end'. Yes the tests were hard, and he was kind of hard to understand. But, he was fair, gave lots of extra credit which outweighed the tough exams. Go to class, and pay attention to what he says. Spring 2014 is his last semester, he's retiring, so have a good time with him and listen up!
I would never recommend taking this class from Professor Matteson! I absolutely love physics, yet this class was anything but. I cannot stress enough how terribly instructed the class was, and how VERY confusing the syllabus, lectures, notes, and online material was. I sent several emails and he never replied.
Lectures are very unclear if you're not music or physics savvy. Referring to the powerpoints is useless because the examples provided are unclear and they are very wordy. Hard to study for this class. Very nice guy and tries to keep the class interesting with videos and demos everyday. Don't recommend if you don't music or physics well.
Don't recommend. Lectures are useless, tests you over stuff he hasn't taught. He then admits that he forgot to teach you how to do the first question on the test but says you should know it anyways. Works problems like he is speaking to himself and not to a student.
he is so unclear in his lectures, he expects everyone to be a music major and a physics genius. Extra credit is given for attending the lectures and the lab is easy enough, but super boring. i definitely don't recommend this teacher.
Class could be boring at times, but for the most part, the tests were easy as was the lab section that went with this course.
He's terrible. doesnt post anything. the class is a waste of time. It's easy. don't learn anything from lectures. practice tests are basically the tests. He's been doing the same stuff for 3 years, and is getting no better. He needs to step his teaching game up, he's very forgetful to.
Dr. Matteson is a really fun guy and I've always thought that he looks a little like and acts a little like Robin Williams. However, when it comes to learning physics from him, don't count your chickens before they hatch. You will not learn anything from his lectures unless you are already a physics genius before taking basic physics.
Awesome teacher, will go out of his way to help you succeed. Loves physics & is easy to approach-- will answer questions intelligently but without making you feel dumb. Save yourself grief and read the textbook, he WILL put questions from it on the final.
Does not grade projects and exams during time he says he will. Group projects are impossible to conduct because no one wants to get together to work on them. Labs are a waste of time.
You will pass if you do the projects, go to the lab, and come to class every time. Attendance is extra credit and that's why I passed. I made Cs on all the tests and almost failed the final, but I still made a B because of the projects, labs, and attendance.
Matteson is not too bad. He is passionate about the subject but the material can get kind of advanced at some times without any in depth explanation for the student's understanding. The weekly labs are pointless and a pain. Go to the review sessions! The TA's will tell you what will/won't be on the exams and you can get your questions answered.
Sometimes he does go a bit fast, but it's always smart to print off the "skeleton notes" that he has online. They are VERY useful in understand what is talked about daily. Attend the review sessions by the TA, very helpful. Attendance is not mandatory, but recommended...it's work half a WHOLE letter grade of final grade.
Took Physics of Musical Sound with Dr. Matteson to fulfill my physical science requirements. Like the comments suggest he does mumble and go off course occasionally which can make it hard to understand what hes' saying, but he more than makes up for it by the clearcut directions and helpful notes he puts on blackboard. He's also funny and very nice
Seems like he'd be great in a small class, but I have him for lecture and it's pretty dreadful. He knows his stuff but gets pretty off-topic. Seems like he's a researcher first and a teacher second, but once again, he seems like he'd be great in a small class.
Very passionate about students learning - not just phys class but in general. Lots of demos; jokes are 'groaners' but you have to laugh. Extremely brilliant guy & really knows his stuff - may have hard time relating to those who don't speak phys. Wants students to excell outside of school. Extra credit for attendance.
did not like this class but got a B. attendance is extra credit. just do the simple projects, go to class, and you'll be shocked by your ending grade. didn't like the teacher and hated listening to him. just do your assignments and go to labs and you'll be fine.
I used to tech his lectures. I LOVE hearing about physics of sound, but not from this butt-hole. He may be an okay teacher, but he tends to be quite condescending. If/when I do take the class, I wouldn't take this guy unless there was no one better.
Matteson is probably the most passionate teacher i have ever had. He puts a tremendous amount of work into his lecture and executes very well. He strives to be liked by his students and does a good job. He uses live demonstrations and youtube videos nearly every class period. You get bonus points for attending class.
He tends to not post the homework he assigns online.
while i can understand people giving prof. matteson a hard time for his "lack of clarity", it's simply because they are slow. he is a little bit scattered but this man knows his stuff. he has tons of energy and puts up a vivacious lecture every time, complete with full on demonstration. i've learned so much about music from this man. one of my favs
Very unorganized. He posted test review less than 24hrs before exam. He had some cool class demonstrations. The book was useless. The test review had errors, so that wasn't really helpful. He gave extra credit for coming to class. He also passed out candy canes to eat while taking a final, ok? The labs were really easy!!
Dr. M is a nice guy. He is very unorganized, but he loves the subject matter. VERY easy grader. I didn't do anything and have an A in the class. Just meet with your learning group three times, go to class on test days, and you will be fine. Print off test reviews from website... They are VERY helpful
Poorly organized. Material was all there and rather straight forward, however he was always late posting stuff (review for the final was posted less than 72 hours prior to the exam, group project grades from september went unposted through the entire class). Class is rather easy if you study lecture notes, plus he gives extra credit for attendance.
Elec Physic
Matt-7-son is an average professor, expect to do work in his class. He might be a better alternative than Weathers, though.
His lectures stray a bit sometimes, but he is very helpful if you ask for help. Very nice man, but he sweats a lot, to the point that it was distracting. Tests are hard. STUDY.
He acts likes he's really interesting in helping you until you ask a question.

Regiment attacks groups for 'exploiting' Lee Rigby
The regiment of the murdered soldier Drummer Lee Rigby has called it "wrong and disgraceful" that members of organisations have allegedly seized on his death as a reason to hold rallies.
A statement on the Facebook page of the Fusiliers Association North East reads:
– I R Liles OBE Brigadier (Retd)
It is wrong and disgraceful that the death of one of our own should be exploited in this manner and that dishonour, by wrongful association, is brought onto the Regiment.
We are to remain dignified with our heads held high and respect Fusilier Rigby in the way we have all our dead; with honour and pride.
We will pay our respects in the correct manner and remember him as a band of brothers.
Anger and revenge are understandable emotions but they achieve nothing other than fostering hatred. We are not to be moved from what we know is the right path.
In a separate message circulated to all regimental associations by Army HQ, soldiers are warned against "wearing regimental headdress or accoutrements" if they attend protests.
It says that soldiers "may not recognise the threat to the Army's reputation if they are perceived to be supporting the EDL's inflammatory agenda".

An Angel for Emily
by Jude Deveraux
Compact | Rate recommendations
Deveraux schreibt immer gut, aber hier geht die Geschichte einfach nicht auf. Das geheimnissvolle Verbrechen wird nur pseudomässig aufgeklärt und der Schluss, der ja ein Höhepunkt sein sollte, wirkt schnell hingeworfen und hinterlässt kein wirklich gutes Gefühl. Auch die Art und Weise, wie Emily und Michael am Schluss doch beieinander bleiben dürfen, ist zu simpel geraten.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671003593, Mass Market Paperback)Emily Jane Todd has just found her guardian angel. Actually, the small-town librarian had just been stood up by her fiancé when she ran into the errant angel with her car. And while he appears to be unscathed, "Michael" continues to insist that his pedigree is quite legitimate. Emily just hopes his brain hasn't been scrambled in the accident; besides, she's not inclined to believe that an angel could be so dangerously sexy.
Yet Michael quickly reveals the most astounding things about her, and makes her laugh in a way she never has before. What's more, he declares that he's been sent to save her. At this point, the only rescue Emily has in mind is her upcoming marriage, and she's ready to bid her most attractive angel good-bye. But when he lets slip that he also looks at souls -- and hers is a rare beauty -- Emily's ready to risk heaven in his arms. Their journey will break every angelic and earthly rule before it yields her one wish: a love divine.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:36:22 -0400)
When a man announces to librarian Emily Todd that he is her guardian angel and he has been sent to earth to protect her, she assumes the man is crazy. But when she discovers he can read her mind and when a bomb is planted in her car, she begins having second thoughts. On the other hand, are real angels permitted to fall in love with mortals?

Awaken the Leader in YOU | May 2014 Event of SIPA
Vedanta, the science of self management, provides rare insights into the human mind. It helps an ordinary person transform into an extraordinary leader. A leader inspires people with a higher goal, a common purpose. S/he is able to build teams, identify the latent talent and help individuals become star performers.
The talk identifies leadership traits and shows ways to develop them. It is only when the leader is inspired with a higher ideal that s/he can inspire teams to perform. A leader needs to have a strong intellect and not function on whims and fancies. Above all, a leader has to be objective and not partisan, prejudiced or biased. S/he must have the capacity to rise above personal considerations and act in the interests of the organization, nation, humanity and the world at large.
The talk helps uncovers our intangible assets and awakens us to our abundance. It enables us to transcend the limitations of our personality and take off into realms of perfection. Be it in the field of sport, music, business or art, the roadblocks are in the mind. The talk helps overcome them and hones our talent to achieve excellence.
