When Jesus walked the earth He was lavish with His healing grace. Everywhere He went He spared no opportunity in alleviating people's sufferings. He wanted to take away His people's sufferings so much that He did not care what might happen to Him if He performed healing on Sabbath day. Lord Jesus, we accept Your desire for our physical health. You are my Love. Send Your Holy Spirit to fill each and every one of us. Thank you, my God, for Your wondrous Love for us. |

In a press release this week, Marvel teased fans with hopes of a super hero get together of epic proportions.
"… Marvel does it FIRST. HUGE story coming soon to fans, worldwide."
Although the press release has sparked a lot of speculation amongst fans, many hoping to see the likes of Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) all in the same room, others are not getting their hopes up, suggesting that Marvel #1 could simply be a reboot of the comics, and saying that we may be seeing them as downloadable ebooks in the very near future.

Metal Detectors, Higher Walls Won't Make Our Kids Safer

Annie Harper (pictured) is an urban anthropologist from Yale and a New Haven mom of three public schoolchildren.
As we digest the news of the tragic event in Newtown, many have responded with concern and anger about the lack of security in our schools. I have, respectfully, to disagree with them. The young man who committed the murders used his weapon to smash his way through the doors of the school, and proceeded immediately to begin to kill. No amount of metal detectors or locked doors would have stopped him from what he did. Nor will such 'security' measures serve to prevent other tragedies of this kind.
The 'in-favor-of-guns-everywhere' lobby may be right that had the school principal been armed in this case, lives would have been saved (though one wonders what type of weapon that principal would have had to wield against the gun the young man had and with what level of expertise). It is simply idiocy, however, to imagine that the overall effect of arming school staff would be safer schools for our children.
I understand the gut response to make our schools safer by beefing up security. As the tragedy unfolded in Newton my own six-year old son was sitting in his first grade classroom barely 25 miles away. Part of me wants simply to protect him, to build ever higher and stronger walls around his precious little body to keep it from harm.
I am convinced however, that not only are efforts to make schools more secure in this way futile, they are also counter-productive. They are like a band-aid for a wound that stems the flow of blood, but allows and even encourages the infection to fester beneath. Building ever-higher walls, creating an atmosphere of fear and suspicion, perpetuates and exacerbates the conditions that foster this type of murderous behavior, the multiple factors that coalesce and culminate in such tragedies. As we focus on protecting ourselves, we lose sight of the root causes of our insecurity.
Those root causes are multiple and complex, but not so complex that we can't identify them and address them. They include easy access to easy-to-kill-with guns, a national norm that measures strength in terms of numbers and sophistication of weaponry, an underfunded mental health care system that cannot cope with the scale of those who suffer mental illness, a culture that promotes individual success over community well-being, and that measures success in terms of power and fame, rather than positive impact on wider society.
Focusing on building higher walls or tighter security systems around our schools and homes encourages us to seek strength in weapons, to distance ourselves from those whose suffering we need to understand and address before it bursts out in a fury borne of isolation and paranoia, to turn inwards to our 'own people,' fearing those who seem different … and so the cycle continues.
Now is the time to pull together our resources to solve these problems, to begin to take steps towards real change. If we want our schools to be more secure, talk of metal detectors and tighter security risks distracting us from the real task at hand.

Very insightful. On a concrete "what could we do now" level, I would like to know that all NHPS classrooms have lockable doors. With all respect, hiding in a room with a door unlocked is like crouching under a desk and waiting for an atomic bomb to drop. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of us. Thank you for this article.

This does not appear to be someone who was affected by the "under-funded mental health care system". He was from an affluent family. Any real solutions will be complex and difficult.
posted by: robn on December 17, 2012 1:38pm
Until we've succeeded with curing mental illness and making and anger free society, can we have better security at our schools and maybe be more selective about who we sell what weapons to?
posted by: Brutus2011 on December 17, 2012 1:45pm
The classrooms I have had in NHPS all had doors with locks and there was protocol in place for emergency lock-down.
I think New Haven K-8 schools are as safe as probably can be in that regard.
I don't know though what can really be done to counter an imminent threat such as what went down in Sandy Hook.
I have often thought that a plainclothes special sheriff's department should be assigned to our schools—for internal as well as external threats to learning and physical safety.
I may be wrong, but it seems like a rational response to the times we live in.

Brutus, Just to be clear- I have walked into Edgewood Elementary many times and have never been stopped or even asked anything and i have no children there. Perhaps that will change now.

No one thing will "solve" the problem of school shootings. Gun control alone won't solve it. Behavioral healthcare and intervention improvements alone won't solve it. Armed security officers or other staff alone won't solve it. Hardened entrances, security cameras, electronic locks, etc., won't solve it. But I don't see any reasonable basis to believe that any one of these things would at least help and, together, might actually reduce the incidences of school shootings dramatically. Put everything on the table, and think in terms of combinations of tactics.

We must all take responsibility for our society. A society that helped create a young man, who irrationally felt that his anger, confusion, and sadness could be appropriately expressed through his tragic actions. A young man that was obviously living with a burden he alone could not carry. We really need to take a better look at each other. We need to reach out to each other. We need to listen more and speak less. Turn off the news. Spend time with family and friends. Militarizing schools and developing a culture of fear will not prevent future tragedies. On the contrary, a discussion that involves arming teachers and staff, fortifying school buildings, and screening visitors is only going to encourage the small, very small percentage of people who would act out the unthinkable.
We are all responsible and we all need a big hug right now! Lets stop being so reactive and open our arms to each other.

There is only way one to prevent this type of attack: vastly reduce the number of guns in America.
The gunman used stolen weapons in his shooting spree. If he hadn't stolen them from his mother, he could have just as easily stolen them from another gun owner/retailer, or perhaps purchased them from a less-than-legitimate source (I mean, christ, with the amount of money him & mom were getting from the ex-husband it's not like he couldn't afford it).
No amount of gun control legislation short of repealing the second amendment and spending the next sixty years finding and destroying American firearms can prevent this. No amount of passive security measures (metal detectors, locks, etc) will stop a gunman willing to exchange his own life for his target's can mitigate this either.
Sorry if I sound kind of doom and gloom, but I'm so tired of having this discussion after every spree shooting. Live security or widespread disarmament are the only ways to 'plan' for a nutter on a shooting spree.

Cut to the chase: the issue is guns. Get rid of guns and even a "normal" who snaps would not be able to do the damage done Friday. Further, a mentally ill person also could not have produced the carnage of Friday without access to automatic and semiautomatic weapons.

The best estimate is that there are 300 million firearms in America. If taken care of properly they will be operable a century from now. Most will sit in homes and never be fired, saved as some kind of collectable. Others will be used for hunting, target practice and shooting competitions. A very small amount of firearms will be used to commit homicides. No amount is acceptable. We have laws against owning illegal firearms. They don't appear to work. We have gun free zones, laws that tell us where and when we can carry guns.Most of us obey them. A very few don't. I'd venture to guess that if we repealed the 2nd amendment and outlawed guns in America there would still be homicides with firearms. There is something terribly wrong with the fabric of America and that is what has to be looked at right now. Why are we bringing this mayhem upon ourselves. Are we broken and can't be fixed? I don't believe so. However, we truly need to find the source(s) of the problem(s) and work on them. Fast. We have National Commissions for everything else. Why not this? Perhaps in the meantime we ban "assault style" weapons and large capacity clips. Harden schools with better doors and safe rooms for students, etc. Require the same types of checks at gun shows that there are for states like CT. Will this help to stop the killing? I think you all know the answer. And it will be different for all of us.

Sorry, guns aren't the issue we have some 270 million firearms in the USA, if guns were the problem we would have more gun homicides not less over the last 20 years. The problem is mental health and what happens to push these people over the edge. Punishing law abiding gun owners for the psychotic individuals is idiotic to put it nicely. But i guess with owlmanatts logic we should also ban any knives, bows/crossbows, any household item which can be mixed to create a bomb, cars, baseball bats, etc. Not to mention the only people who would follow such a ban would in fact be the victims of crimes. Lets just completely ignore the fact that plenty of people are saved from being murdered, robbed, rapped and kidnapped because they owned a firearm. How about fixing real problems with real solutions.

The homicide peak from which we've declined (and leveled out to a historic rate) was at the peak of the crack epidemic. Try again.

It's a mistake to measure the toll guns are taking only in murders; suicides, accidental shootings, and killings that pass the disturbingly-low standard to be declared 'justified' have to be considered as well.
According to the Violence-Policy Center, gun deaths have been on a gradual rise since 1999 and out-paced motor vehicle deaths in several states in 2010.
It's time to think of guns not only as a crime problem, but a public health problem.
posted by: gunsarenttheproblem on December 19, 2012 9:35am
1. The gunsuicides WILL turn into other forms of suicide, don't be silly. 2. Accidental deaths could be reduced drastically with proper education and safer storage of the firearms. 3 I dont hear a single person blaming cars, alcohol, knives etc. For all the deaths they cause. So if we ban guns we can ban vehicles, tobacco,alcohol(we saw how this and our war on drugs has turned out) and we can ban any substance which can make a bomb, knives, baseball bats, rope, and the list goes on of things people have used to kill themselves, others, or accidentally killed themselves or others with. Then we will all have that perfect society we all want…...NOT. let's just be honest its a problem with we the people not the things that have no life.
posted by: William Kurtz on December 19, 2012 10:45am
Guns may not be the, but it's beyond rational debate that they are a problem.
1. Many of them, probably. It seems likely that the numbers of murder-suicides and family annihilations will drop substantially.
2. This education has been sorely lacking. For a long time, it was part of the NRA's platform—providing safety education and training for gun owners. I imagine they're still doing that, to some degree, but face the facts: the NRA represents big money gun manufacturers and not hunters, sportsmen, or target shooters. They, and those manufacturers, resist all common-sense attempts to require this training or safe storage. Trigger locks, magazine safeties, smart gun technology all rejected.
3. C'mon. The reason you're not hearing people blame cars, knives, and alcohol here is, well, cars, knives, and alcohol had nothing to do with this subject. Read any one of the other innumerable NHI stories about the devastation caused by speeding car traffic and scofflaw motorists who flout red lights, speed limits, and traffic signals of all kinds. A lot of us have a lot to say on those topics.
And besides, cars and alcohol are heavily regulated at both the state and federal levels. If only we had the same sorts of controls on firearms…
Complex events have complex causes. I agree that gun regulation is not the answer, but it is an important part of the answer. Yes, there are "problems with we the people" but as a society, we address those in all sorts of ways. For example, when it became clear that there was a segment of the population that found it amusing to bowling balls and other heavy objects from highway overpasses, it became the standard to put up fences.
posted by: gunsarenttheproblem on December 19, 2012 11:02am
My point wasn't that knives alcohol or vehicles had anything to do with this incident but we have 34000 alcohol related vehicle deaths in the US, vehicles and alcohol being banned would save just as many lives. No removing guns wouldn't reduce murder-suicides, they can just as easily use a knife. Come on we have millions of people who properly store, and use firearms but we punish man for the crimes of a few. I wouldnt punish all vehicle owners because some drunk idiot killed my wife and kids….

(this is the author here).My concern with steel doors and safe rooms (etc) for schools is that the more visible security measures there are around us, the more we believe that we are living in danger. People who live in fear are more likely to want to protect themselves and their families. Children who are educated with the constant presence of intense security measures that are there to 'keep them safe' will be more likely to feel that they need security when they are adults. Hence, demand for more guns. And higher walls between them and those they are not familiar with and so may appear dangerous (poor people, people with mental illness, foreigners etc). And so on.
Apart from anything else we simply don't have enough money to keep ourselves 'safe' in this way. At a national level our obsession with keeping ourselves 'safe' through security measures and weaponry has led to the perversely large sum of money we spend on defence every year (more than $900 billion), while our education and other systems agonise over where to cut next (education gets $64 billion a year – how's that for prioritisation?). Do we really want to bring this same dilemma down to individual school districts and schools? A choice between defence and education? When we KNOW that education works in the long term, but there are real questions about whether increased defence does actually make us safer in the long term? Seems crazy to me.
And as for comparing guns to cars, there's a big difference between the two. Cars can be incredibly dangerous, but we also NEED them. Ideally in the future if we have better public transport, more efficiently designed cities etc we will need them less, but many of us will still need a car. By contrast, the vast majority of us do NOT need guns. People who hunt, well, I wouldn't call it a need, but I suppose arguments can be made for guns for that purpose. Police? Okay, though there are many countries in the world where most policemen do not routinely carry guns (and they wouldn't need them so much if there were less guns in society). But the rest of us, I would say we can live without them.
As for alcohol, the parallels with guns are more compelling. Personally I don't drink alcohol so wouldn't care if it was banned, and

.....and I would certainly love to see a society where it was used less. However, there is a key difference between guns and alcohol; the former are designed for one purpose only – to destroy a target. They are inherently destructive and have nothing to do with good food…

There can be no reasonable doubt that the paranoid will see in enhanced security measures a justification for their paranoia. I'm not sure how that changes the baseline question, though: What is reasonably necessary to protect against a known and demonstrated threat? I think a similar starting point would also need to govern cost questions.
As with most things, central to the discussion will be weighing the trade-offs. Students, teachers, parents would no doubt not "feel" as serene in a "secured facility" school environment, though they may "feel" (and would be) safer. Best-practice security measures will cost a lot of money, but the costs of doing nothing are arguably incalculable. Armed personnel, steel doors and security fences will harm the innocence of children, but the failure of security will harm far more than their innocence.
Where the appropriate balance resides I will not be so presumptuous as to claim to know all on my own. That will need to emerge from community dialog. What I do know is that dialog can only proceed and be fruitful if it begins with allegiance to clear discernment and honest acknowledgment of the relevant factors to be balanced and their concrete contribution to achieving the community's goals.

actually if you REALLY want go get technic the only reason we Need cars isbtransportation of goods. We don't need cars human beings went without for thousands of years. But that's fine I will make another comparison. We have from all the data i have found between 750,000 to 1.2 million abortions a YEAR in this country I am by no means a hardcore religious person but lets be honest killing off a growing being is just as bad as killing a person with a gun. You can lay whatever bull crap excuse you want its my right as a woman, I can't afford it, i don't want to strain my relationship with my husband, the list goes on of excuses women comee up with to get an abortion. So why do we not make such a big deal about abortion? Because someone is willingly choosing to get one? I have no problem if its rape incest or could harm the mother or father but lets get serious, this country has WAY worse problems than guns. Like i said earlier we have over 270 million guns and a tiny amount are used to kill people, in fact from all data i find we have people using guns in self defense 1 million times a year. Take away those peoples guns, you could very well see a huge spike in homicides, rapes, assaults, crime in general.

Also we tried the whole ban alcohol/drugs they are all over in the US despite the billions we waste to stop the drugs. Also why do people believe a gun ban would work only honest law abiding citizens aka victims of crimes will turn them in, so we will be left with criminals and police having guns I for one am not willing to wait for a slow policeman to get there if.my life is on the line. If you want to go ahead that's your right and its my right to defend myself, thank god I have never had to but i would rather have the capability to defend myself and my family. Also another point I watched a documentary back in high school on criminals workshoping their own firearms. Just because something is illegal or banned doesn't mean it solves the problem. Just pick up a history book you will see it plenty.

Acuity Brands (AYI) Scores Upgrade After All-Time High
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After hitting an all-time high on Thursday following first-quarter results, Acuity Brands (AYI - Get Report) has scored a ratings upgrade from Wedbush Securities. The investment firm upgraded the stock to "neutral" from "underperform" and allocated a $120 price target.
The Atlanta-based electronics manufacturer, which makes Lithonia Lighting, Holophane and Gotham brand products, reported a revenue increase of 20% year-over-year to $574.7 million. Net income jumped 39% to 96 cents a share, well above estimates of 84 cents. The company noted year-over-year growth in the first quarter was due "primarily to an increase in volume, partially offset by an estimated 1 percentage point net unfavorable change in product prices and mix of products sold."
Acuity also closed two small production facilities in the first quarter in keeping with restructuring plans begun in 2013 to cut costs. The company estimated that it saved $3 million pre-tax thanks to the streamlining maneuvers.
Acuity CEO Vernon Nigel said in the statement that the company's outlook remains positive.
"Third-party forecasts and leading indicators continue to suggest that the growth rate for the North American lighting market, which includes renovation and retrofit activity, will continue to be in the mid-single digit range during 2014."
The stock closed 12.2% higher to $123.50.
TheStreet Ratings team rates Acuity Brands Inc as a Buy with a ratings score of B. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ACUITY BRANDS INC (AYI) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, growth in earnings per share, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: AYI Ratings Report

Tel: 602 955 6600
Concierge.com's insider take:
The granddaddy of local resorts, the 39-acre Arizona Biltmore has been here since 1929 and was designed by Albert Chase McArthur, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright's. Located just north of the bustling intersection of 24th Street and Camelback Road, near Biltmore Fashion Park, the Biltmore is like an architecturally inspiring version of a Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasonsbig, elegant, and consistent. The hotel attracts an older clientele with taste, partly because of its design heritage and partly for its location at the end of a residential road lined with $10 millionplus estates. It's quiet and rather proper, with painstakingly manicured grounds. The squat, angular buildings, created from concrete blocks that mimic the color of the desert, are certainly Wright-like. And despite their age, the 739 guest rooms are quite comfortable, with Mission-style furniture and Southwestern motifs. In 2009, the Biltmore renovated one wing and dubbed it Ocatilla, a hotel-within-a-hotel with upgraded linens, flat-screen TVs, and a private lounge serving drinks and meals; rooms here cost about $50 to $75 more per night. Eight pools traverse the property, which abuts two 18-hole PGA championship courses. Hotel guests get preferred tee times.

Kaanapali Golf Courses in Maui
Ka'anapali Golf offers far more than just breathtaking scenery - it is recognized as a world-class golf facility, where even the easiest holes are a challenge. Heralded as one of the most spectacular courses a golfer can play on, Ka'anapali has been home to professional events and memorable golf moments since 1962. Highlights include the Champions Tour Ka'anapali Classic, the LPGA Kemper Open and more recently Golf Channel's Big Break Ka'anapali series and the Wendy's Champions Skins Game (2008-2010)
Comprised of two championship Maui golf courses, the Ka'anapali Golf Resort features distinct characteristics. Each utilizes Tif Eagle Grass on putting surfaces, and 419 variety on tees, fairways and the rough.

This incredible sight helps improve not only your game, but your frame of mind, as well. Fairways are wide but the greens will be sure to challenge any golfer.
- Ka'anapali Kai Course: Ka'anapali Kai has four sets of tees and allows for play at all levels. Following the natural design of the land, many holes are located upslope, in the foothills of the West Maui Mountains. This elevated position gives players an unbelievable view of the Pacific and the beautiful shoreline.

EU condemns Iran nuclear upgrade decision as 'clear violation'
BRUSSELS (AFP) - The European Union voiced "serious concern" Friday over Iran's decision to install more modern equipment at its Natanz nuclear plant, saying it would be in "clear violation" of its international obligations.
"We have learned with serious concern that Iran has informed the IAEA about its intention to install advanced centrifuges of the type IR2m at the Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz," said a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Their installation could significantly increase the production of enriched material, she said.
This would "add to the already severe concerns of the international community about the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme" and would be "in clear violation of Iran's international obligations to suspend all enrichment and enrichment related activities." "We urge Iran to fully comply with its international obligations," the EU spokeswoman said.

It's not fair. I know that's an overused saying these days, but it's true. See, my friend's girlfriend recently broke up with him. They were only going out for a month or so. But everyone (myself included) has been offering him a shoulder to cry on.
My girlfriend's family found out about us 5 months ago. We've been best friends for 8 years. I even lived with her family for a few years. Now we're forbidden from even talking to each other. I had spent every single day for the past few years with her, and suddenly I can't even send her a friendly email. All of our friends knew what was going on. But when this happened, only one of them stepped forward to offer her support. Everyone else just made it a point not to mention her name in my presence.
I know it's wrong, but I've been resenting this friend. I know he didn't do anything, but it bothers me that he can get so much sympathy for such a short lived relationship. And there are times, like when I'm missing her so bad that I cry for hours, that I hate my friends for not thinking that I might hurt too. For not realizing that the lonliness and pain are just as real as anything they can feel.
Does it make me a bad person?
It's just twisted the way things work out and the way SOME people think. People are the way the are and don't consider that along with being gay/bi, whatever, we're still human beings. And, it's completely understandable the way you feel.
of course your not a bad person. maybe your friends cant completely grasp the depth of your love for her, and her for you. some people just cant understand how two people of the same sex can love each other. and even if they think they can understand that love, they might not be able to understand how deep that love can go. and how true your feelings can be.
and on top of that, it is more socially exemptible for a boy and a girl to be together, than it is for a boy and a boy, or a girl and a girl. perhaps your friends didn't come forward to help, because they didn't want to be looked down apon socially by your family, and your girlfriends family, and by society in general.
i completely understand your loss, if you need a shoulder to cry on you can e-mail me some time, firstname.lastname@example.com
Oh I could just launch into another tirade about the values that are placed on relationships. However, I won't. It'll just bore you and it doesn't really help. Of course you're not a bad person. Not mentioning her name isn't exactly the same thing as being there for you. Ok, no kidding let's state the obvious. I'm finishing this before I say anything else that's rather evident.
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
No Brosia that does not make you a bad person. From what you have said it seems as though you should be the one getting the sympathy, not him even though he does deserve some of it too surely. And what you went through? Ouch it sounds terrible, sorry it happened.
If you do need to talk then feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or just PM me here.
Beauty isn't what you see, it's what you feel.
Thanks guys. I just felt bad because I was pissed at them and they didn't even realize they were doing anything. So I needed a place to vent. But again, thanks.

POSTED: Thursday, February 20, 2014 - 3:37pm
UPDATED: Sunday, April 13, 2014 - 1:03pm
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — I am sure you've heard by now what the Federal Communications Commission is up to.
They now want a newsroom monitor in every TV and and radio station in the country. They even want a monitor in newspaper newsrooms, as well, even though the FCC has nothing to do with newspapers.
The reason is that they want to keep an eye on our content. In other words, one of the FCC commissioners says the government has nine areas they want monitored. They said they'd like to monitor topics such as the environment. They believe something they deem important is not getting enough coverage.
Do you see where this is going?
In other words he or she could sit in our newsroom and say, "Hey, enough of this Obamacare debacle, let's move on, let's have stories about green energy."
And what about this little First Amendment, Constitution thing? That's so 2001.
They also want to know which managers are picking stories and what everyone is paid. I can tell you right now, there are journalism advisors who just hate me because every year they pester me to go online or fill out a paper about newsroom demographics. They also want to know what each position is paid. What my news people are paid or anything about their lives is none of anyone's business.
If this FCC idea, which is not mandated yet, does not chill you, you are dead in the head.
Just remember, appointees to the FCC won't always be Obama appointees. Plus, if the federal government is just trying to harass us with people in our newsroom who live out of town to pester us about content and don't really have a handle on things, most news directors already have that.
They're called TV consultants.
That's my point of view, what,s yours?
You can e-mail me at email@example.com [2] or Facebook me at KETK Neal Barton.

Popular broadcaster and author gives lecture
11 October 2011
Stuart Maconie, well-known for his books and tv and radio work, comes to LJMU tomorrow (Wednesday, 12 October), as part of the National Identity Lecture Series, organised by the School of Humanities and Social Science.
Taking place in the main auditorium of the Art and Design Academy at 6pm, the lecture, entitled 'Modern Britain: How we got here,' will draw from Stuart's recent book which reviewed the places, people and key events that have helped to shape modern Britain.
Starting with the death of Queen Victoria, to the Battle of the Somme, the general Strike, the World Cup win of 1966, Punk Rock and the victory of New Labour in 1997, Stuart examines how such defining moments have contributed to British national identity. This is a journey in search of who we are.
The lecture will be introduced by LJMU's Dr. Joe Moran, another expert on British cultural history.
Stuart, who originally comes from Wigan, has presented shows on every radio and TV network. He currently hosts 'The Radcliffe and Maconie Show' and 'The Freak Zone' on BBC 6 Music and 'Inside Out' on BBC North West. His previous bestsellers include 'Cider with Roadies,' 'Pies and Prejudice' and 'Adventures on the High Teas.' His books have been translated around the world.

Kemper M. Beasley - Honors in History
Churchill: Machiavelli's Prince or Modern Statesman?
Winston S. Churchill is one of the most well known historical figures of the twentieth century. Despite his career before and after, his role as Prime Minister of Britain during the Second World War has become the focus of many books and much speculation. Evaluating his leadership during this war, some have come to the conclusion that Churchill personifies extraordinary leadership amidst adversity and is the example of a modern statesman. To others, Churchill was a shrewd and ambitious wartime leader often idealized in past centuries. Therefore, to have a better understanding of these two perceptions, Churchill's leadership during World War II can be evaluated in light of Niccolo Machiavelli's 16th century leadership commentary and John Gardner's contemporary leadership commentary. Upon doing so, it can be concluded that Churchill fits parts of both models. As a result, he was a leader well suited to lead Britain during its difficult times.

M&A buy-side fee structure
IBWhat is the fee structure like for M&A buy-side?
depends it can be a reverse
?depends it can be a reverse sliding Lehman scale or a flat %. It all is usually higher than a sell side though, because the uncertainity of close is greater, especially in an auction process.
higher than a buy-side???

Reread what I wrote. It
?Reread what I wrote. It says that buy-side fees are usually higher than a sell-side fees, because of the uncertainity to close is greater. For example, if you are advising one of 20 companies in an auction process you have a lower likelihood of winning the auction and therefore getting paid. Compared with the firm that is advising on the sale of the company, they get paid when the company is sold regardless of who acquirers the business.

Home to the likes of Aspen, Breckenridge, and Vail, it"s one of America"s top ski destinations, but there"s a whole lot more to Colorado than just snow.
TravelMole Editor Bev Fearis and her family take a two-week trip to explore the highlights of the Rocky Mountain State...
It"s been voted the happiest and the healthiest place in America, so where better to start our trip than Boulder, a 50-minute drive north of Denver. Surrounded by 36,000 acres of recreational open space and some world class hiking trails, it"s full of happy people in lycra off for a hike, run, bike ride, or a climb. On the first day, I"m awake at 6am (as is always the way on the first few days of a US trip) and decide to go for a gentle jog. It has to be gentle because Boulder is 5430 feet above sea level and I"m feeling the effects of the high altitude. The next morning, better acclimatised, I brave an hour"s hike up Sanitas Valley Trail and the views are simply breathtaking. I"m feeling happier and healthier already.
View from the top of Sanitas Valley Trail
Downtown Boulder has a laidback feel and is devoid of the grittiness of most American cities. It"s main shopping and dining street, Pearl, is car-free and dotted with trees. It"s pristine, green and lined with funky boutique stores, outdoor shops, bohemian cafes and sophisticated restaurants. It"s a University town so there is a lively night scene, but it"s all good clean fun. Just a few blocks from Pearl and you"re in wide leafy pristine boulevards lined with million dollar houses.
We had flown into Denver with British Airways but it was dark by the time we landed, so we decide to go back for another look. It"s more like a typical US city with its high rise skyline and gridlocked highways, but, surprisingly, it"s also home to some of Colorado"s best family attractions.
Freddie, my two-year-old son, was absolutely blown away by the Children"s Museum. It"s not really a museum, more of an activity centre totally geared towards little ones. Think Willy Wonkers Chocolate Factory, but without the chocolate. One room is devoted to trains (we literally had to carry Freddie screaming from this one), one is a bubble factory, another is a meadow with a rabbit hole with burrows to climb into and out of (Mums too). There are 11 different rooms in all and if you let your child stay in each one as long as they want to, you could literally spend all week there.
Nextdoor is Denver"s Aquarium, where Freddie"s eyes lit up again at the sight of stingrays and sharks and luminous jelly fish - complete with Disney-style sound and lighting effects.
Freddie meets a shark
Just to complete our family-friendly day, we drove across the city to Denver Zoo. There are nearly 4,000 animals here but we spent so much time with the monkeys we didn"t get to see them all. We told Freddie that perhaps we"ll have time to come back later in our trip, but with so many of Colorado"s highlights yet to see, I very much doubt it.

Original SAILOR MOON Anime to Air on Hulu Starting Next Week
By Armi Dimaranan on May 16, 2014
I thought I was excited already over the news that a new Sailor Moon anime was in the works, but today North American anime distributor Viz Media announced that it has licensed the original Sailor Moon anime franchise. That's 200 gratifying television episodes, three fantastic feature films, and a slew of tie-in specials that will make you fangirl so damn hard (or maybe just me)!
Hulu Plus' stocks may rise in the next week as Viz Media has partnered with them to stream the anime in all of its uncut and remastered glory starting MONDAY, May 19! That includes the never-before-aired season featuring the Sailor Stars. The series will also appear on Viz Media's streaming service, Neonalley.com.
We'll get the first four episodes this upcoming Monday, with two more episodes releasing every "Moon Day," as coined by Viz Media. The English dubbed version will appear later in 2014 with an all new American voice over cast.
If you aren't hyped yet, watch in wonder at the trailer below:
Along with the rebroadcasting of this classic anime, Viz Media has plans to release DVD and Blu-ray/DVD combos in half season sets starting this fall.
Are you excited yet? Let us know how you feel in the comments below.
Im really excited, not only for my inner child who woke up wayyy early before school to catch the episodes. But also for my girls today. Really wish it was Monday already
Do I need a hulu plus account? Cause if so… lol no thanks. I'll just watch the subs still.
You can always wait & buy the DVDs. That's what I'm planning on. =D
Very excited for this. I loved Sailor Moon when I was little and it/she still holds a place in my heart.
Supper-mega excited!!! ♥♥♥

Ignition Grant Program
Purpose of the Ignition Grant Program
One of the most meaningful ways to enable innovation and discovery in the environmental sciences is to provide financial support for scientists and engineers to work on new, high risk projects. Currently, most traditional funding sources don't support the most creative, cutting edge research. Rather they support more tried and true, less risky projects. The Earth System Initiative Ignition Grant Program seeks to bridge this gap, to allow scientists and engineers to do the preliminary research and generate the data they need to then pursue large amounts of funding from traditional sources.
Each $50,000 grant not only has an immediate impact on enabling the exploration of a great idea, but the more our program builds, more great ideas crystallize and we build on MIT's renowned culture of innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration. This is how discovery and innovation in the environmental sciences can be catalyzed by your support.
Click here for a pdf of the current Ignition Grant Portfolio
$500,000 Milestone Reached in First Year
Since its inception in July 2006, the Ignition Grant program has funded ten $50,000 grants for a total of $500,000 in gifts to specific projects within the Earth System Initiative portfolio. These projects range from simulations of global ocean ecosystems, potential impacts of artificial ocean fertilization, and environmental semiconductor design, to harnessing wave energy, designing hybrid generators for rural Africa, and researching environmentally-conscious development of the carbon nanotube industry.
Program Starts with Winning Record
The very first two Ignition Grants resulted in both projects receiving subsequent grants from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the National Science Foundation, respectively. Professor Ed Boyle, who received the first $50,000 grant his lab's work in measuring the potential impacts of artificial ocean fertilization agrees that "If [graduate student] Seth hadn't received the Ignition Grant in August 2006, there is a high likelihood my lab would not have received the NSF funding in Spring 2007." In this case, the return on $50,000 can be defined in terms of the subsequent $650,000 grant given over the next three years.

A splendid guitar with a natural, singing sustain, a signature neck profile and versatile tone.
As a world acclaimed six-string virtuoso, Tak joined legendary guitarists Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley and Slash to become the fifth guitarist on the planet to have his own Gibson signature model, the 'Tak Matsumoto Les Paul.'
The Gibson Custom Tak Matsumoto Signature Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar has a custom double cutaway body. It's made with the soulful combination of a 2-piece plain maple top and a 1-piece mahogany back. The 1-piece set mahogany neck has a scale length of 24-3/4" and the comfortable Tak Matsumoto profile for playing speed and accuracy. The 22-fret fingerboard is of Richlite, a dense material made from renewable wood resources. Burstbucker 3 and 2 pickups provide plenty of reliable output and sonic diversity. Vintage-style tuners and an ABR-1 bridge with stopbar tailpiece complete the list of Tak-approved features.
Beginning his career as a session musician, Tak's exposure to a myriad of musical styles molded his own unique blend, by incorporating elements of jazz, blues, classical, metal, rock and ska. He released the critically acclaimed instrumental albums Hana and Dragon From the West to rave reviews for their powerful flowing melodies and evocative imagery.
In 2010, Tak joined forces with jazz guitarist Larry Carlton and released the album Take Your Pick. Drawing upon their knowledge and different musical backgrounds, Tak and Larry blended their Eastern and Western guitar styles to create a truly magical and unique album. After a successful tour of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan, Take Your Pick won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental album at the 53rd Grammy Awards in February 2011.

Rolling Stones Choose the Devil in 'Crossfire Hurricane' Documentary Trailer
Brett Morgen-directed doc hits HBO on November 15
On November 15, HBO is set to premiere the new Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane. Directed by Brett Morgen, who previously oversaw The Kid Stays in the Picture, a 2002 documentary about Godfather/Chinatown film producer Robert Evans, the clip is billed as "an aural and visual rollercoaster ride" that'll let us "experience firsthand the Stones' nearly mythical journey from outsiders to rock and roll royalty."
A new trailer for the documentary won't surprise you with its choice of music — "Sympathy for the Devil," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" — as it mixes archival footage with self-aware voice-overs about the Stones' decision to wear "the black hat" as opposed to the Beatles' "white hat." Because as anybody scalping tickets for the Stones' reunion shows can tell you, there's nothing so rebellious as filling an underserved market niche. Teasing aside, a very youthful Mick Jagger can also be seen enthusing about "some kind of chemical reaction" that seemed to have happened for the Stones in America.
In honor of the Stones' 50th anniversary, the band will play a pair of shows in London next month and then two more in New Jersey in December, with more dates potentially on the way. A career-spanning anthology with two new songs, GRRR!, is due out on November 13, one week after the Stones' 1965 Ireland travelogue Charlie Is My Darling comes out on DVD on November 6.

News ReleasesJanuary 10, 2001 Mayor Jeremy Harris has submitted a supplemental budget request (Bill 100-2000) to the City Council requesting nearly $74 million dollars for construction projects that cannot wait for July 2001 when the next budget will take effect. Resurfacing streets, extending the Waikiki pedestrian improvements and building new showers and comfort stations will cost $13 million. According to acting Budget and Fiscal Services Director Caroll Ann Takahashi, so many complaints have been received about the poor condition of city streets since the current budget was adopted that repair work must start as soon as possible. Regarding the Waikiki improvements, she said the contrast between the newly renovated section and the nearby area is so great that extending the improvements should be done right away. Wastewater collection and disposal infra-structure improvements will cost $21.8 million. These projects have to be included now to avoid penalties from the federal government for not meeting environmental protection standards. The mayor is requesting nearly $6.5 million for equipment, $1.7 million to correct problems with the new Kapolei Civic Center and $300,000 to complete removing hazardous waste from the old Kapalama incinerator site. $30.5 million is for culture and recreation projects. The City Council is holding hearings on the supplemental budget request January and February. |

by John Pollard Custom-built bass for your vehicle Are you disappointed with the level of bass your factory system provides, but don't like the idea of installing a universal subwoofer and wiring kit? The Soundgate SubStage powered subs by Kicker are made to fit in specific vehicles, so you get harnesses that connect to your factory wiring, and a sub that's made to mount where your particular vehicle has space. Each system comes with vehicle-specific instructions that guide you every step of the way. The package also includes all of the wiring and hardware you need to complete the installation — that means no running to the hardware store to find a part that you didn't know you'd need. Ready to rumble The SubStage doesn't skimp on power and performance — it comes equipped with a 10" sub powered by a perfectly matched 200-watt amp, all housed in a custom enclosure that's optimized for sound quality. You'll look forward to rumbling lows that can play back the biggest digital drum beat yet also deliver the low-frequency subtleties of a standup bass. Kicker's earned their reputation for making subs that crank out bass you can feel and the SubStage is no exception. The SubStage SSIEXT07 fits the 2007-up Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Extended Cab, and the subwoofer installs under the passenger's side of the rear seat. This kit will not install in 2007 Classic models. It connects to the factory stereo via a two wire taps for signal, and attaches to the battery for power.

Say what? Instead of the usual sub in a box, the manufacturer creates a molded enclosure that fits perfectly into a convenient spot in your specific vehicle, housing a high-quality sub. Some enclosures even include a built-in amp, for the ultimate in stealth bass. The advantages? You don't lose much space (if any), your sub is perfectly matched to its enclosure, and your enclosure has a factory look that won't tell potential thieves you have an awesome sound system. Doesn't get better than that.
Easy as that Written By Amberly, Key West , FL on Tuesday, October 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The unit was easy to put in . fit in the truck perfect ! Pros: easy to install Cons: directions could be a little more clear
install Written By jerry b, mesquite nevada on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) easy to install, fits like a glove, sounds great, wired to right rear speaker so you can use the fader adjustment for sub input level. Pros: the fit is great, sound is great, hooks up to rear speaker output, called kicker for info, tech support was great. Cons: instructions for wire connection not easy to figure out, says to connect to #2 and #9 pins on connecter plug , should just say connect to front or rear speaker wires +- ( green wire + brown wire is -)

Slow Cooker Applesauce Spice Cake
From Woman's Day
If you prefer, you can substitute the applesauce with fresh grated apple; pick a variety that will soften in the heat, like McIntosh or Gala. After cooking, you might notice some steam bubbles on top of the cake, but don't worrythe powdered sugar will cover any flaws.

U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar, for serving
- Ice cream, for serving
- Place a 15-inch piece of parchment paper in the bowl of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, letting the excess come up the sides. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the applesauce and vanilla (the mixture will look curdled). Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared slow cooker and cook, covered, until set and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 hours on high.
- Holding the parchment, transfer the cake to a rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes. Dust with the confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream, if desired.
