Another Takeover?
A Yorkshire-based consortium have made an offer to buy a controlling stake in Leeds United from owners GFH Capital. BBC Radio Leeds report that the consortium's offer, if accepted, would involve a 51% initial share of the club with a view to a phased buy out.
The identity of the consortium members has not been disclosed.
Dubai-based investment bank GFH Capital only completed a full takeover of the club from Ken Bates for a reported £52m in December.
Bates remained chairman after the deal was completed and is due to become president at the end of the season.
The club's former commercial director Adam Pearson recently indicated he would like to return to football and, more specifically, at Leeds.
But it is unclear whether he is part of the consortium that has tabled this offer.

Neighbor: Victim stabbed multiple times
UPDATED 6:34 AM CDT Mar 10, 2014Des Moines police are investigating an early morning stabbing.
Video TranscriptBreaking news out of Des Moines-- a man stabbed as many as six times! KCCI's Kim St. Onge is LIVE in the newsroom with the very latest. Kim? Elizabeth, here's what we know as of a few minutes ago. It happened inside this apartment building at 72- 09 Southeast 5th Street around 3 o'clock this morning. We're hearing a woman stabbed the man several times, but police have not confirmed that. I have been on the phone with officials this morning, but they are not releasing much information right now. We did talk to a neighbor who says there may have been a standoff between police and the suspect. "EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WE'LL HAVE A BUNCH OF CARS COME OUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. IT JUST ALL DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION, BUT THIS SITUATION WAS LIKE ONE OF THE BIGGEST I'VE SEEN." We're still waiting to learn the victim's condition as well as the name of the suspect. We're going to be following this story throughout the morning so we'll check back with you in a little bit and hopefully have some new

SOM Loses Top Architect to HOK
Carl Galioto, FAIA |
Photo courtesy HOK |
In an eyebrow-raising move, a decades-long employee and partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has jumped ship from its New York office for a rival firm.
In September, Carl Galioto, FAIA, joined HOK¹s New York office after 30 years with SOM, where he contributed to the design of One World Trade Center, 7 World Trade Center, and Terminal Four at John F. Kennedy International Airport. He also worked on the planned 5-million-square-foot mixed-use project called Manhattan West, on Ninth Avenue and 31st Street, which developer Brookfield Properties has postponed.
While at SOM, Galioto headed the firm¹s technical group and helped SOM become known as a leader in the development of building information modeling, or BIM.
Galioto has worked with various public agencies and was instrumental in the creation and implementation of a new building code in New York City. He also served on a task force convened by the National Institute of Building Sciences to draft recommendations for high-rise codes.
Galioto, 55, admits it¹s unusual for someone of his stature to relocate, which he says was by choice. But the new job, he says, has perks. Because HOK¹s 140-employee New York office is much smaller than SOM¹s, which reportedly had 320 employees as of August, Galioto can have a hand in a greater variety of projects.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
He may also boost the profile of HOK. In New York, the firm is best known for its healthcare, science and technology, transportation, and corporate interiors work, Galioto says, adding that "it will be fun to get the word out" about the firm's range of expertise.
HOK is happy to have him, as he can help ramp up the firm's "buildingSMART" initiative, which seeks to improve project delivery through BIM, says Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, HOK's chief executive. "All these things that he has been working on and dreaming about," MacLeamy says, "can be lived out with us."

Where I stayed
BRUNSWICK HEADS (again) Mileage: 6012kms
By the time we did all our stuff and set off, it was 3pm and with NSW on daylight saving time we decided to pull into BH again for the night. For our last over night stay in The Terrace Reserve we splurged on a river front site to enjoy the breeze and sounds of the ocean.
About 40 kms south of Grafton (35kms north of Coffs Harbour) the Pacific Highway hits the coast again; we had not yet decided on our destination for the day, planning to check out some of the beaches on the coast. Our first stop was Red Rock, a tiny town on the southern edge of the Yuraygir National Park. The town has a general store, attached to the Red Rock caravan Park and a bowling club and that's it!
Well, the caravan park is on the beach, spacious and breezy and powered sites are $20pn so ……….A tourist we met in the shop was singing the praises of the park and vowed it was the best spot for camping this side north of Coffs Harbour. Well who is to argue and we loved the feel of the place!
The town, more like a village, gets its name from the red rocks on the beach. The area has important Aboriginal heritage; the Gumbaingirr people used to travel to the area for ceremonies and festivals because of the abundance of ochre along the beach and the large quantities of fish and oysters. The ochre was used for ceremonial body paint and art. Sadly the name "blood rock" is also used to describe the place, the place where the massacre of aboriginal people off the headland was perpetrated by early white settlers. A cairn and plaque has been erected on the site to commemorate this horrible event.
Apparently the village gradually developed from the early tin sheds built for holiday makers in the 1920s. A recently retired, new arrival in the village told us that it is a great place to live but that the ocean is dangerous; a Korean man drowned here last week and one earlier in the year. You can see the dangerous rips from the headland.
The bushland, ocean and river made this a special place and we walked a number of well laid out tracks around the area to appreciate the beauty and ambience.

Green tea is made from the dried leaves of the same plant as traditional tea. However, traditional tea leaves are fermented, and green tea leaves are steamed but unfermented. Green tea may be brewed and drunk or ingested in tablet or capsule form. It is thought to have effects that protect cells from damage by oxygen, mutations, and cancer. Green tea contains caffeine, but many extracts have been decaffeinated. It is high in flavonoids and catechins.
Green tea is said to have multiple health benefits, but none are supported by strong scientific evidence. People take green tea for many reasons, including prevention of cancer, coronary artery disease, and tooth decay. Other reasons are protection of skin from the sun, reduction of fat (lipid) levels in the blood, relief of osteoarthritis pain and menopausal symptoms, and enhancement of weight loss, memory, and longevity.
Side effects are related to the effects of caffeine. They include insomnia, anxiety, frequent urination, nausea, diarrhea, irritability, upset stomach, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), and mild tremor. Pregnant women should avoid excessive caffeine. Caffeine in high doses may lead to high blood pressure, delirium, seizures, and irregular heart rhythms.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)MONDAY HOMILY: The Abundance of God
By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds
February 25th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Jesus teaches that we should not set arbitrary limits to the life of faith or the practice of discipleship. SUGAR LAND, TX (Catholic Online). Every politician has his "stump speech." A short, pithy summary of his views delivered on numerous occasions to various groups of people. Exceedingly useful, this sort of address allows the speaker to tailor his oratory to the specific concerns of listeners, while still communicating his core principles.The Gospel of today's Mass could be construed as Jesus' "stump speech." Called by many Biblical scholars "The Sermon on the Plain," the sixth chapter of St. Luke's Gospel sounds familiar. It should. It is an echo of "The Sermon on the Mount," found in chapter five of the Gospel according to St. Matthew. Some Biblical scholars propose that both St. Matthew and St. Luke are describing the same event, placing it in different venues for theological purposes. Others suppose that the briefer Lucan account is a summary of St. Matthew. Still others suggest that the content of The Sermon on the Mount tends to the theoretical, while The Sermon on the Plain skews to the practical. They could all be right. Especially if we see the core content of these two Biblical passages as an expression of Jesus' "stump speech." Isn't it logical to assume that during the course of his three-year-long public ministry Jesus would repeat himself? Not because he ran out of things to say, but because he wanted to assure that we would not run out on what he was saying. Look up an Internet Bible database, and search for the words "repent," or "love," or "follow me," and the results would be too extensive to list here. Jesus spoke of the same things over and over, in order to reach different groups of people and to reinforce the essential content of the Good News for his disciples. By hearing today's Gospel, we are privileged to take in a slice of the very heart of the Gospel. "Be merciful. stop judging. stop condemning. forgive. give." And at the heart of it all, as a final summary: "For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you" (Luke 6:38). Jesus relates mercy and its manifestations to the act of measurement. What are we to make of this? Why does someone measure a thing in the first place? Perhaps to quantify it, like measuring the square footage of a room before ordering new carpeting. Doctors measure their patients' height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other statistics in order to gauge their health and to diagnose disease. All of us measure time, so that we will be punctual for appointments and practical in the division of our day. All forms of measurement have one thing in common. They impose or recognize limits. One only orders enough carpet for the job at hand. A doctor insists upon dietary changes if we his patients have exceeded certain vital indices. Everyone guards their private time and tries to hold something in reserve for rest and relaxation. Measurement is a form of limiting a thing, of circumscribing its expansion, of holding it within manageable parameters. In contrast, Jesus teaches that we should not set arbitrary limits to the life of faith or the practice of discipleship. Instead, we are invited to imitate God's abundance. How is this to be done? We cannot imitate God's abundance as shown in his act of creation. You and I are incapable of bringing something out of nothing. Similarly, we cannot match God in the work of redemption, but can only receive it gratefully. Nor can we imitate the bounty of God as made evident in any of those divine attributes that are particular to him. But we can echo the abundance of God - echo it, not equal it - by being merciful. "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful" (Luke 6:36). To live the virtue of mercy, we have through away our calculators and discard our measuring instruments, and learn how to forgive without limits. May the Lord give a merciful heart to each one of us, that these days of Lent will overflow with the abundance of God! ------- Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds is pastor of St. Theresa Catholic Church in Sugar Land, TX, a suburb of Houston. You may visit the parish website at: www.SugarLandCatholic.com.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Napili Kai's quarter-mile white-sand crescent is arguably the prettiest beach on the island, but some might be put off by the resort's well-preserved '70s plantation-style decor, with lots of rattan, in all 163 rooms. Practical amenities such as a laundry facility (with free detergent) and bath products made from local coconut, ginger, and papaya are a nice touch for the core clients (many of whom are quite wealthy but interested in value) who return year after year with children and grandchildren. Most of the employees have worked here for more than 20 years, which adds to the sense of deep-rooted comfort. The restaurant menu includes fresh, healthy fare, but everybody's favorite is a stack of melt-in-your-mouth macadamia nut–and-banana pancakes with coconut syrup. The Masters of Slack Key concerts also take place here weekly.

quote:Hootie leaning towards bama?
quote:Bama is out working LSU according to everyone I talk to around here
quote:Stud is in charge of this area
quote:quote: I feel that LSU trails Bama by a smidgen. and quote: I would say that Hootie has one foot out the door with the other moving in the same direction. are two very different things. Seems like Jimmy D is kind of hedging his bets here to me.
quote:My Dad had a coversation a while back with the coach for W Monroe. He said that when Cam visited the Gumps, they rolled out the red carpet, had Saban and other coaches waiting on him along with a few influential players. They bacically catered to his every need and made him feel wanted and important. On his LSU visit, the coach said Cam was clueless about where to go, and that they ended up parking in the field and had to walk a ways to see where to go. They didn't give him direction and he felt like they showed no interest in him just by the lack of a welcoming. It took several hours before he got to meet with Les. He said that just the way he arrived at each campus and the way that the coaches and staff treated him, that he made it seem Bama wanted him more. I think that put a chip on his shoulder that LSU didn't show him the same type of treatment he got at Bama. There were other factors between the two visits, but coming from the mouth of his coach......wow, the staff dropped the ball big time. If the staff would of given him the same type of, or even better treatment, then I think things would have been different. Lets hope we start pulling out the red carpet from here on out.
quote: I'm not sure what you call it, "red carpet" or just common sense, but I think they need some good Southern hospitality lessons.
quote:But I can tell you he/family won't be persuaded by cars/$$$. He will go to a place that's best for him not where a couple of 18 year old kids want him to go. He is smart enough to know this
quote:I do find it concerning that with Cam Leonard fournette and now Hootie the word seems to be we aren't recruiting them the hardest. That does concern me.
quote:It's funny to hear this now, because I swore when cam rob visited LSU we supposedly blew his socks off and he was then leaning towards LSU.

struck with the contrast between the taciturn, even morose, aborigines of S. America and the light-hearted, talkative negroes. There is a nearly similar contrast between the Malays and the Papuans,[1] who live under the same physical conditions, and are separated from each other only by a narrow space of sea.
We will first consider the arguments which may be advanced in favour of classing the races of man as distinct species, and then the arguments on the other side. If a naturalist, who had never before seen a Negro, Hottentot, Australian, or Mongolian, were to compare them, he would at once perceive that they differed in a multitude of characters, some of slight and some of considerable importance. On enquiry he would find that they were adapted to live under widely different climates, and that they differed somewhat in bodily constitution and mental disposition. If he were then told that hundreds of similar specimens could be brought from the same countries, he would assuredly declare that they were as good species as many to which he had been in the habit of affixing specific names. This conclusion would be greatly strengthened as soon as he had ascertained that these forms had all retained the same character for many centuries; and that negroes, apparently identical with existing negroes, had lived at least 4000 years ago.[2] He would also hear, on the authority of an excellent observer, Dr. Lund,[3] that the human skulls 'found in the caves of Brazil, entombed with many extinct mammals, belonged to the same tyj)e as that now prevailing throughout the American Continent.
