Why bother, faults come and go Who cares, Leave my past alone Judge me for today As if there is a way Forget about yesterday, stop living in the past I understand mistakes were made but it's the reason it didn't last They say Forgive and forget but, I Forget it to forgive I don't judge you for your sorrows , so why judge the way I live?

Research In Motion isn't the only tech company that made a splash during the Super Bowl. Apple's new App Store vanity links also made an appearance.
Keen observers of the trailer for J.J. Abrams's upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness may have spotted the AppStore.com/StarTrekApp link flashed across the screen during a Sunday game-time commercial (pictured below).
CNET was the first to report the URL, which links directly to the official Star Trek app promoting the new movie.
Cupertino initially announced the new short links option on Friday, but the news received little fanfare until Sunday's Super Bowl reveal. According to the company, the short links serve as an easy-to-remember way to find apps. Developers can slap their company name onto the end of the AppStore.com link to house multiple apps; the app title will link directly to a single application.
For example, visit AppStore.com/Keynote to access the specific iWork presentation function, but to search all Cupertino-based apps, try AppStore.com/Apple. All URLs are accessible worldwide, and will replace the former itunes.com link.
As CNET reported, the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs received AppStore.com from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff in 2008.
Cupertino, however, is still in the midst of a legal battle with Amazon and Microsoft over the rights to the "app store" title. Early last month, Amazon won the court's approval to dismiss Apple's false advertising claim, arguing that Cupertino did not identify a single false statement that the online retail giant made about its app store — a necessity to prove false advertising.
Still, the Apple App Store is going strong, gaining more than 339,000 apps in 2012 — 66 percent of which are free — and touting about 800,000 total mobile apps.
More details about creating an App Store shortlink are available in the iOS Developer Library.

Glückstadt is a town in the Steinburg district of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is located on the right bank of the Lower Elbe at the confluence of the small Rhin river, about northwest of Altona. Glückstadt is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region (Metropolregion Hamburg). [edit] History
Glückstadt was founded in 1617 on the marsh lands along the Elbe by the Duke of Holstein, King Christian IV of Denmark, who had levees and fortifications built as well as a ducal residence. Its name translates to English literally as "Luck City" or "Fortune City". As Christian IV promised the settlers tax exemption and freedom of religion, Glückstadt soon became an important trading centre, intended to compete with the Imperial city of Hamburg, located upstream on the Elbe. After the king had interfered in the Thirty Years' War the town in 1627/28 was besieged for fifteen weeks by the united Imperial and Catholic troops under the command of Albrecht von Wallenstein and Count Tilly, though without success. In 1649 Christian's son and successor King Frederick III of Denmark had the seat of the Holstein administration moved to Glückstadt, whereafter the duchy became known as Holstein-Glückstadt. In 1773 the town became the capital of all Holstein lands, when the lands of the Holstein-Gottorp line were finally incorporated. During the War of the Sixth Coalition in 1814 Glückstadt was blockaded by the allies and capitulated, whereupon its fortifications were demolished. In 1830 it was made a free port. Holstein-Glückstadt remained a possession of the Danish Crown until its defeat in the Second Schleswig War of 1864. It was occupied by Austria, but finally incorporated into the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein in the aftermath of the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. Heinrich Gravert Schmidt, son of Jacob Gravert Kleinfinger and Gesche Schmidt, was the main "Schlachtermeister" (butcher) on Schleswig-Holstein, exporting processed meat to America since 1830 to 1886. This trade was continued until 1907 with the help of his son Captain Ferdinand Gravert Borchers, being involved in the nitrate ocean race from South America, where his descendant Captain Alex Gravert Salcedo keeps the maritime tradition managing tankers and offshore vessels.

New players to emerge in Berlin's cargo market?
New players to emerge in Berlin's cargo market?
Apart from daily passenger flights, the airline also operates a weekly B747 freighter service to Dubai. "The airline did increase the frequencies of the B747F flights to twice-weekly, but has since reduced this to the weekly operation," Hulsman said. He added that the airport is also gaining from Emirates' use of Dusseldorf as a feeder point from other major European gateways. "The airline now serves Paris with A380 equipment, which has considerably reduced its cargo uplift out of the French gateways, so instead, it is trucking cargo to Dusseldorf to make greater use of capacity out of here," he said.
Like Germany's other second-tier gateways, Dusseldorf is seeking to gain critical mass with more direct, long-haul connections. "We have the benefit of Dusseldorf being designated as Air Berlin's second hub in Germany," Hulsman said. "Lufthansa is adding more and more direct, long-haul services out of Dusseldorf, with Japan, for example, being added next year."
The airport expects to handle around 105,000 tonnes this year, of which 90 percent is contained in bellyholds. "We want to see that split 80/20 percent as we move forward," said Hulsman, who together with the DUS Cargo Logistics team, has worked hard to develop a range of products to attract more cargo business to the airport. The latest venture is a neutral trucking service in cooperation with the Run Air Network, which allows airlines and forwarders to feed cargo across Europe.
Cologne-Bonn Airport is seemingly playing a more prominent role in the German air cargo market. At first sight, it would appear to have achieved that goal already, with annual throughputs of more than 650,000 tonnes of cargo. But the vast majority of this business is integrator traffic generated by the presence of UPS and FedEx hubs. Strip their combined figures out of the equation, and general cargo traffic amounts to 150,000 tonnes a year.
"We welcome the integrators, but in some respects it dwarfs our general cargo business, and so it can sometimes be difficult to put that side of our business into its proper prospective," said Franz Heuckeroth van Hessen, the airport's director of cargo and sales.
Van Hessen said he views Cologne-Bonn as not an exclusively German airport, choosing instead to focus on the European-wide reach of carriers operating there. Competing with Amsterdam Schiphol, he said, is not out of the question. In fact, van Hessen previously worked for the larger airport, and he has used this experience to help Cologne-Bonn progress.
"It has allowed me to transfer all the knowledge and experience of working at a major cargo gateway and translate that into growing the business at an up-and-coming cargo hub," says van Hessen, who adds that he is targeting freighter operators to grow his business at Cologne-Bonn.
"The benefit of working with a smaller airport setup like Cologne-Bonn," he continued, "means that we can provide the carrier with every support service they require."

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a day – interviewed at Questrade in November 2014.
Interview DetailsI got referred by a employee and I got a phone interview on the same day. Not hard, tell me about your customer service experience and ask some questions like what's your salary expectation, your availability and other lauguage you can speak. I wasn't asked to come into office for a interview and I receive a email saying this position has been fullfilled. I guess I should apply earlier.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Questrade in July 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online. Got an email about best time to talk with HR. HR called me and matched the requirements of job with my skillset. She also asked why I am interested in this job and position. why this position attracts me. How much experience I have relavant to position? How will I handle conflicts within team.
Then she scheduled a face to face interview. Here I got a big mistake, I reached there for interview 20 minutes late. The interviews were not have enough time to assess me as they ended interview right after 40 minutes. I was able to see that they have questions but they don't have time as they have to vacant to interview place for some other activity.
Interviewers attitude was good, they were asking much on team management, less on technologies.
after 2 days I got an email from Hr that they will decide about my case in next week, I thought they are searching for some other interviews and if they didn't find then they will hire me.
My assumption was correct, next week I got an email that they have selected someone else.
My negatives here were :
I was late in interview.
I had management experience from Pakistan.Interview Questions- There were not much difficult questions, they were more management oriented:
How will you resolve conflict between your team members?
What will you do if you are in a situation that one of your team member is not working rightly? Answer Question

The computer drill is a tying test, multiple choice financial question and were you wanna be in five years.No OfferEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Questrade in June 2013.
Interview DetailsI applied online and got a phone interview scheduled by HR the next day. Other than generic questions (career goals, why QT etc. ) she asked me to list some basic Unix commands used for system monitoring. An interview was scheduled the next day with the team lead and the director of support.
The interview was very stressful. I was interrupted all the time. I am not sure if this was an arbitrary attempt to see how candidates function under stress or a reflection of stress within the team. After quite challenging questions on Unix and system architecture they asked me about different situation I could encounter when doing support and what will be my course of actions. I was also asked basic SQL and domain questions. Financial questions: what is a GTC order, how do you lower an order priority on an exchange.
I got an email the following week saying that they picked another candidate but I am encouraged to keep applying as they have lots of staff turnover. I am not surprised why.Interview Questions- Load averages in Linux, differences between df and du, how will you be troubleshooting an IO issue... Answer Question

Hot/Not for NBA playoffs
Conventional wisdom says the O-first Suns won't win it all. Conventional wisdom says to check out the Hot/Not file.
Updated: April 25, 2005, 12:43 PM ET
Dan Shanoff | Page 2
The conventional wisdom is that everything changes in the NBA playoffs. Those run-n-gun Suns will be slowed. Shooting teams like the Sonics, Mavs and Wizards will be bludgeoned into submission.
Or maybe this year is different. After all, no one gave the Pistons' "D-first" squad much of a chance against the mighty Lakers. Detroit taught everyone: Team basketball wins.
But that's just one trendy storyline. Get ready for

Reviewer Rating:
Review Summary:
Here's the bottom line - the Canon PowerShot ELPH 510 HS's image quality is as good or better than any camera in its class.
The 12x12 (12x zoom & 12 megapixels) Canon Powershot ELPH 510 HS delivers more than adequate resolution and an impressive zoom range in a truly pocketable compact point and shoot digital camera with a capacitive touch screen that replaces all but the most essential physical controls with virtual controls. The lack of dedicated physical controls made it possible for Canon to include a large 3.2-inch (8.13 cm) LCD that completely dominates the back deck of this miniscule digital camera. In addition to the features listed above, the ELP 510 HS also records images/video to a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor, utilizes Canon's proven DIGIC4 Image Processor (rather than the newer DIGIC5), includes Canon's HS System for improved low-light performance (up to ISO 3200), features full HD 1080p video with stereo audio (via a virtual stop/start video button), and provides an HDMI output, an Intelligent IS system (which automatically chooses from six different IS modes to optimize image stabilization for the shooting situation), and finally an improved Smart AUTO mode that intelligently selects the most appropriate scene mode for the shooting situation from 32 included scene modes.

Shadow Hare Allegiance of Super Heroes denies Simon Leis membership application
CINCINNATI – Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leas was denied entry this week into Cincinnati's Allegiance of Super Heroes led by popular crime fighter Shadow Hare. After thoughtful consideration, Shadow Hare decided Sheriff Leis is not ready to be a super hero. "We'd like to acknowledge that although the Sheriff isn't ready to be a super hero, he has nevertheless served our community well over the past twenty years."
From his home in Cincinnati, Sheriff Leis expressed disappointment, "I thought my crime fighting record prepared me for life as a super hero. I was counting on my twenty years experience as the Hamilton County Sheriff to get me in. Shadow Hare said I'm not ready. I trust Shadow Hare's judgment but I'm still devastated. Admittedly, I can't jump very high and I've lost a little speed due to smoking cigars. I'll work on those things."
Reportedly, the Sheriff was subjected to a battery of tests at his testing facility at the Shadow Hare's mom's house in Milford where Shadow Hare currently resides. Shadow Hare commented, "We ran the Sheriff through our highest level of testing we like to call Over-the-Rhine: Judgment Day. The testing simulates handing out sandwiches to homeless people in Over-the-Rhine while dodging bullets and tazing drug dealers."
Sheriff Leis commented on his test results, "Sure, Over-the-Rhine made me a little nervous. Who wouldn't freeze up a little in that kind of harsh criminal environment. With more training I think I could adapt."
Those close to Sheriff Leis have always considered becoming a super hero to be the crown jewel of his career. Reportedly the Sheriff had a super hero uniform custom designed by Cappels and he also copyrighted the name Captain Ohio."
The Sheriff's red, white, and blue Lycra super hero suit will have to wait in the Sheriff's closet for another year before the Sheriff gets another chance to try out for the Cincinnati Allegiance of Super Heroes.

I always get this little hunch that whenever a celebrity talks a lot about parenting and wanting a child, they always have something more to tell us, you know, like they're pregnant but have to wait until the second trimester to announce the news but just can't contain their excitement. I've seen a lot of celebrities do it, including Beyonce last summer. And now Holly Madison, who has done several interviews in the past few weeks about how much she can't wait to become a mom, announces today that she is pregnant with her first child. How exciting!
The former Girls Next Door star and Playboy Playmate tells the new Us Weekly, out now, that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend of nine months, party promoter Pasquale Rotella, 38.
We've got some of Holly's most recent pictures in our slideshow below. Take a look and let us know if you can spot Holly's baby bump. In the meantime, a big congratulations from all of us here at Babble!

Welcome LyricsArtist: Christina AguileraAlbum: Back to Basics Welcome to the greatest show Greatest show on earth You've never seen before Let the fairytale unfold What's behind the smoke and glass? Painted faces, everybody wears a mask Are you selling them your soul? Well you'll be left out in the cold Is it all blue skies Fun and games until you fall Then you're left without anyone at all You're riding on a shooting star With a smile upon your face But soon the shine fades And you're left out all alone Wondering where did they all go? Oooh Been jaded, hated, Who'll be around when the limelight's faded? Been shut down, pushed out Made to smile when I wanted to frown Always taking a bow Always working the crowd Always breaking new ground Always playing the clown Who'll be sticking it out? Who'll be staying around When the lights go down? (whistles to fade)

The Old Man And The Sea
Based on Ernest Hemingway's classic novel, Spencer Tracy shines in his portrayal of an aging fisherman battling against the elements of the sea in all its fury.

The Old Man and the Sea is by no means the best thing I've seen Spencer Tracy do but it wasn't bad. Its a simple story that's pretty well photographed and pretty well acted as well. The movie didn't live up to all the hype I'd heard about it over the years but then again I haven't had much exposure to Hemingway up to this point. That arm-wrestling match flashback was pretty cool though. When all was said and done, it kind of made me want to watch Bad Day at Black Rock really bad...

Massachusetts Ranks 4th in Nation for LEED Green Building
BOSTON– Tuesday, February 18, 2014 – The Patrick Administration today announced Massachusetts has been ranked 4th in the nation for sustainable building design, construction and operation by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
"We are proud to receive this honor because we are committed to shaping our energy future and protecting our environment," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan. "Designing and constructing our buildings with energy and the environment in mind reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves the air we breathe and saves people money."
Massachusetts ranked behind Illinois, Maryland and Virginia, and had 101 Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certified projects in 2013. Massachusetts also ranked 4th in last year's survey.
To calculate its rankings, USGBC used per-capita figures as a measure of the human element of green building, allowing for a fair comparison of the level of green building taking place among states with significant differences in population and number of overall buildings.
"In the face of extraordinary global challenge of climate change, our national imperative to create resource-efficient and cost-effective green buildings has never been greater," said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, USGBC. "Massachusetts has a strong base of dedicated individuals who are using LEED to transform its built infrastructure into high-performing spaces that promote the health of our planet and the people who use these buildings each and every day."
Several projects certified in 2013 were noted in USGBC's list, including the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke, the first university research computing center to achieve LEED Platinum certification, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Wall Experiment Center in Lawrence, which is LEED Platinum certified. The high standards achieved by these state facilities were driven by Governor Patrick's Leading by Example Program, which requires state building construction to meet a LEED Plus standard that includes higher energy and water conservation expectations.
The Patrick Administration's aggressive clean energy initiatives have made Massachusetts a leader in energy efficiency, renewable energy and emissions reductions. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has named Massachusetts number one for three years running. Last year, Governor Patrick set a new solar goal of 1,600 megawatts installed by 2020, after Massachusetts reached the previous goal of installing 250 megawatts by 2017, four years early. The clean energy revolution is yielding economic benefits as well, with 11.8 percent job growth in the last year; nearly 80,000 people are employed in the cleantech industry in Massachusetts.

The Empiricists
"One of the great historic controversies in philosophy," according to Bertrand Russell, is that between empiricists--"best represented by the British philosophers, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume"--and rationalists. This book sets the empiricists in their contemporary and cultural context, examines their various approaches to philosophy, and highlights the significance of their ideas to 20th-century thinking. By focusing on what the "empiricists" actually have to say, rather than on their classification as such, Woolhouse incidentally shows how unreliable these conventional labels can be.

When you're in a sad mood, it may feel like it will last forever, but usually feelings of sadness don't last very long — a few moments, a few hours, or maybe a day or two.
But sometimes sad feelings can go on for too long, hurt too deeply, and make it hard for you to enjoy the good things about your life. This deeper, more intense kind of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression.
People of all ages can become depressed — even kids. Depression brings down a person's mood and energy. It can affect how people think about themselves and their situation.
If you think you have depression or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it (a parent, relative, doctor, teacher, counselor, coach, or close adult friend) so this person can help you.
People who are depressed have some (but not necessarily all) of these symptoms:
When these problems last for weeks or longer, it is most likely a sign that the person is depressed. Some people who have depression may not even realize it. Often it's a parent, teacher, or family member who notices behavior changes like the ones in the list above.
There is no single reason why people get depressed. Everyone's different. Too much negative thinking can make it easier to become depressed. Having a parent who gets depressed can increase someone's chances of becoming depressed. But some people become depressed for no apparent reason. Becoming depressed is never the person's fault.
Difficult problems or an overload of stress can sometimes lead to depression. A kid could become depressed after the loss of someone really close, such as a parent, or if there are long-lasting problems at home (including violence, divorce, alcohol or drug use, abuse or neglect, difficult health conditions, or serious accidents).
Living with too much criticism and yelling, or dealing with bullying that isn't stopped, could harm a person's self esteem and lead to depression.
But going through difficult problems, grief, or having family members with depression doesn't necessarily mean someone will become depressed. Many times, people are able to stay positive, cope, and do well, even through bad times. Certain things can help protect people from depression.
When someone is dealing with depression, it can seem that problems are too big to bear and that things will never get better. But people who feel depressed can get better and feel happier.
It's very important for people of any age who have depression to reach out for help. When they do, they can get better quickly. Sometimes treatment involves talking to a doctor, therapist, or counselor who knows all about depression. Sometimes medications can help depression heal. Sometimes both of these things are used.
When kids or adults get help with depression, their negative moods and thoughts can become brighter and more positive again. They have more energy and problems become easier to solve. Taking steps to solve problems helps them feel better about themselves. Things seem more hopeful. Depression starts to lift with each positive step.
In addition to getting help, there are things people can do to help themselves get better. Eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, daily exercise (such as walking or playing), and taking time to relax can do a lot to improve depression.
Sharing your sad feelings with someone who cares can help, too. There is always somebody to talk to when you are sad or depressed. You feel better when someone knows what you're going through. Plus, the other person can help you think of ways to make the situation better.
But don't spend all your time talking about what's wrong. Be sure to talk together about the good things, too. Paying attention to the good stuff (especially during sad times) can help turn your mood in a positive direction. It may seem simple, but it's another powerful way to help yourself if you're dealing with depression.

Gavin Duffy, from the Centre for Shared Education at the School of Education has been shortlisted for the Vice Chancellor's Impact Prize 2014 under the category of Early Career Researcher.
Gavin's research in conjunction with Professor Tony Gallagher and the SEP implementation team (Mark Baker, Alistair Stewart and Niki Moat) focused on a partnership of 8 schools in the Foyle Area which established an educational programme exploring a series of social themes including: anti-social behaviour, community relations, internet safety, health issues and substance misuse. The partnership involved over 1000 pupils aged between 8 and 15 and a network of 35 teachers and 8 school leaders was established.
The research reveals significant social and educational impact to have emerged from shared learning and broader collaboration between schools, including:
- Encouraging the movement of pupils, parents and educators across a contested space setting into each other's communities
- The formation of relationships and meaningful contact between participants from different cultural backgrounds

Since everyone is proclaiming us the favorites from Vegas to National Media, and of course the locals. The no respect card that has worked so well and defined this team is off the table. ( I know they can find stuff and make stuff up with the best of them, but it's gonna be hard to belive this year. ) So... How about if they are a team on a MISSION - To become the GREATEST NFL TEAM OF ALL TIME!!! That doesn't mean you have to win every game. (85 Bears didn't win em all) But they had an Attitude a ****iness and most important a MISSION. I think we need to change our mindset from winning games, to going out there and puttin a hurtin on the teams we play. NO MERCY. not just enough to win. I know this may not sound like New England Football. But this is a different team, and they need something to motivate them.:singing:
Says who? The no respect card is ALWAYS in play for the Patriots. Just read the reports. Most of the media is waiting for this team to "self-implode" so they can crow "I told you so" about the Moss trade. If I am the Patriots or Randy Moss, I am thinking to myself - the media is just trying to set us up for failure. That's pretty insulting. They want nothing more than to see our team fall flat on their collective faces, so they can talk about how BB "messed up" and how the Pats are "frantic" or acted "uncharactersitically" by drafting Meriweather and trading for Moss. There is a TON of disrespect going on by the national media, but right now it's more subtle, in the waiting for the "big flop" type. But there's no doubt they are scared of the team the Pats have assembled and fascinated by its potential, while at the same time they are hoping to see us fail. Just because the microscope has gotten bigger on New England does NOT mean that there still is not a lot of DISrespect for this team.
Everyone is waiting for a car crash, that is to be expected, and some people disagree on who we added to the team, but when it comes to winning games, people aren't saying we dont have a chance. Go down the schedule and tell me how many games we will be the underdog in? One maybe Two. People may not respect what the front office has done but they do respect the talent on the field.
After years of being overlooked despite dominating the league, it would not surprise me if some of the vets are thinking that way.
I have to be honest and say that I really don't get the "no respect" thing. I note a lot of writers who are full of praise for the Pats' achievements and way of doing things. Yeah, there are people like Borges, but I don't see him as being in the majority.
Q. Rodney now that you are the favorites how are you going to play the no respect card? A. We never said we were the favorites. That's all of you saying that and when you say it you also add on paper. On paper! You are all waiting for us to fall apart. The rest of the NFL calling us paper champions. If that isn't disrespect I don't know what is.

Giraglia Rolex Cup fleet ready for the off in Sanremo
Sat, 15 Jun 2013
The scintillating 2013 Giraglia Rolex Cup start is on the horizon. In upwards of 200 yachts representing almost twenty countries will contest this historic annual event, which has been running for 60 uninterrupted years.
Competition on the water starts this evening with around half the fleet scheduled to participate in the 58-nm prologue race running from Sanremo, Italy to Saint-Tropez, France. Over the weekend, the international fleet will swell in size and engage in three days of inshore racing off Saint-Tropez. This is typically a chance to sharpen teamwork and tactics ahead of the main event – the 243-nm offshore race from Saint-Tropez to Genoa via the Giraglia rock, which commences on Wednesday 19 June. The offshore race is beautifully set-up. In the absence of Esimit Europa 2, the first boat to finish in the last three editions and race record breaker in 2012, the battle for supremacy is wide open particularly amongst the striking collection of Mini Maxis - yachts measuring from 60-79 ft. Andres Soriano last tasted line honours glory helming his 68-ft Mini Maxi Alegre to success in 2009. Soriano returns in 2013 with his brand-new 72-ft Alegre in what will be its first offshore outing. Poignantly, Soriano will face stiff competition from his former boat now under the ownership of Swiss Alexander Schaerer and racing as Caol Ila R. Schaerer demonstrated the yacht's continuing potential with a recent victory at the Rolex Volcano Race. Ran 2, Niklas Zennstrom's twice winner of the Rolex Fastnet, is eager to add success at the Giraglia Rolex Cup to its impressive array of honours. Hap Fauth's American Bella Mente is currently the Mini Maxi Rolex World Champion and is now seeking to prove its ability in the demanding rigours of an offshore environment. Italian Alessandro Rombelli's Stig and Sir Peter Ogden's Jethou of the United Kingdom - second fastest finisher at the 2012 Giraglia Rolex Cup - are also likely to be among the frontrunners. Another significant candidate for line honours, and certain to catch the eye at the front of the fleet, is Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones' Magic Carpet 3, the recently launched Wally Cento. In the competition for overall victory on handicap, American George Sakellaris' 72-ft Shockwave is one of four yachts on the 2013 entry list to have previously won the main prize, albeit under former owner Neville Crichton in 2010. The remaining boats with Giraglia Rolex Cup winning pedigree are defending champion Near Miss, a TP52 from Switzerland, 2011 French winner Foxy Lady and Italian entrant Edimetra, a Wally 65 owned by Ernesto Gismondi and triumphant in 1999. The contest to be crowned overall winner of the competition is always an open affair and difficult to predict. A combination of teamwork and tactics will play a key part, but so too will the wind and its vagaries. The Giraglia Rolex Cup is organized by the Yacht Club Italiano, in conjunction with the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez and the Yacht Club de France, prestigious organisations with well-established ties to Rolex, title sponsors of the historic event since 1998.

Mike Wallace, WR, Miami Dolphins
Player Profile
Height/Weight: 6-0/199
Birthdate: 8/1/1986
School: Mississippi
Mike Wallace leaves Steelers nation to join the Miami Dolphins. He was arguably the best player available this off-season as well as the best offensive weapon for Pittsburgh and the Dolphins locked him up to a 5 year deal worth around 60 million dollars. He definitely got what the Steelers were in no position to offer. So hopefully this means, Wallace is happy and will return to form after a disappointing 2012 campaign.
Wallace was one of the top receivers in fantasy during 2010 and 2011, so if he can bounce back, he'll become a top 10 option once more. And there is nothing keeping us from thinking this will happen. The Dolphins have made a major push to put quality talent around second year QB Ryan Tannehill. They have locked up Brian Hartline to be the WR2, which is what he should be, they still have Davone Bess who is a natural slot receiver and...

This course is intended for LL.M. and JD candidates who are interested in learning about commercial contracts in Today's globalized and increasingly interdependent commercial and legal world.
The curriculum for this course consists of three parts:
Part I: This portion of the course provides a historical perspective of commercial contracts by studying the manner in which goods and services were exchanged-in a reciprocal but not necessarily contractual fashion- in the pre-commercial world.
Part II: In this segment the course turns to the evolution of executory (essentially credit) promises in Roman, Medieval and Codified Law, in the European continent as well as in Latin American, Russia and China as well as in typical common law jurisdictions such as Great Britain and the United States.
Part III: The final phase of this course is devoted to peculiar features of commercial contracts in selected jurisdictions. These jurisdictions have been selected as representative of each major legal system and legal cultures. The features selected for study are the formality, methods of interpretation and remedies pertaining to commercial contracts.
The primary goal of this curriculum is to provide students who are interested in pursuing careers as international commercial practitioners, researchers, and scholars with a basic (theoretical and practical) realistic or contextual understanding of the legal systems and cultures they will be dealing with.
Class notes in English, will be available at the UA Bookstore located in the Corleone Student Center.
Lectures and comparative case law discussions
See comments.
Choice of written, oral or substantial paper on a topic approved by the instructor. (See comments.)
This course is graded on the combined basis of the results of a final examination and class participation. Class participation can weigh as much as ten percent of the final grade.
Students interested in writing a substantial paper on a topic acceptable to the instructor, instead of a final examination, may do so with prior permission from the instructor.

Bob Geldof 'beyond pain' at death of daughter Peaches
Published on Apr 8, 2014 3:37 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Live Aid founder Bob Geldof said his family was "beyond pain" at the death of his socialite daughter Peaches at the age of 25 on Monday.
Police were called to her secluded home outside Wrotham in Kent, southeast England, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her death was being treated as "unexplained and sudden", police said.
Peaches, a mother of two young sons herself, was just 11 when her mother, television presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose aged 41 in 2000.
In her last Twitter message to her 190,000 followers on Sunday, Peaches posted a photograph of her as a baby being held by her mother, with the words, "Me and my mum".
