From The CriticsRice's first novel is an affecting study of innocence lost and regained. Rex Williamson, a well-meaning drunk in search of fortune, relocates his family from England to Lightning Ridge, Australia, in order to mine for opals. His eight-year-old daughter Kellyanne's two best friends, Pobby and Dingan, disappear in the opal mines after Rex invites them along for the day. The disappearance of her "maybe-dead" friends is complicated by one insurmountable factor: Pobby and Dingan are imaginary. Kellyanne grows increasingly despondent over her loss until her brother Ashmol, the story's narrator, begrudgingly rallies the troops of the town in search of the invisible duo. Kellyanne's belief in her imaginary friends parallels the Williamsons' dire faith in finding the yet-unseen opals. In Lightning Ridge, Rice has created an enchanting fictional world that lives and breathes, as Ashmol's adolescent digressions exhibit the author's knack for unforgettable characters. The book, which invokes a sense of innocence, beautifully articulates childhood's life-changing moments.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen return for new 'X-Men' movie
James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are officially signed up too…Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen will both appear in the next X-Men movie. Thrilled to announce @ianmckellen118 & @sirpatstew are joining the cast of #XMEN #DaysOfFuturePast #magneto #professorX More to come...
The veteran actors starred in the original trilogy of X-Men films between 2000 and 2006. Stewart played Professor Xavier, while McKellen portrayed his rival Magneto.
Last year (2011), Marvel Studios revived the franchise with a well-received prequel called X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy played a younger version of Xavier, while Michael Fassbender took on the Magneto role.
A follow-up to First Class is now in the works - titled X Men: Days Of Future Past. It will be directed by Bryan Singer, who took to Twitter yesterday (November 27) to make a couple of casting announcements.
In his first tweet, Singer wrote: "I'd like to officially welcome back James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, & Nicholas Hoult to #XMEN for#DaysOfFuturePast."
A minute later, he posted:
X Men: Days Of Future Past begins filming early next year (2013) and is scheduled for release on July 18, 2014. It has a script by Simon Kinberg, who has previously revealed that the story will focus on Magneto, the character played by Fassbender and McKellen.

(61 stars)
If the roof is a combination of gable and hip as one, the ridge and drip edge linear footage are way off. And the square footage is not as close as the actual measurements. Otherwise its not bad, but I wish there is a way to remove on wanted files.

Easy to use

Very handy when out on a roof estimate

Candidates focus on industry issues, concerns
CORPUS CHRISTI - A candidate forum hosted by industry groups Wednesday had little to do with industry issues such as workforce development or stagnant area growth.
Instead, those who asked questions during the forum wanted to know how local candidates planned to address the county's drainage problem and the ever-increasing cost of health care.
The forum, held at the Flint Hills Training Center in Annaville, was hosted by Port Industries of Corpus Christi and the Association of Chemical Industry of Texas. More than 150 people attended the event, which included candidates vying for a U.S. congressional seat, state House, county judgeships and county commissioner courts.
Torrential rains earlier this month caused by Hurricane Karl flooded about 117 homes, the city estimates. Many drivers overcome by high water on roads had their vehicles flooded.
Mark Roach with Dealers Electrical Supply and a board member of Associated Builders and Contractors, asked how District 34 State Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, and Republican challenger Connie Scott planned to address the drainage issue. Both supported the establishment of a drainage district or a county drainage plan.
A single, working mother asked how they planned to address her dilemma of paying for high medical insurance. Scott said the Obama health care plan was unconstitutional while Herrero said he would continue to work on the state's Children's Health Insurance Program.
Blake Farenthold, the Republican vying for the U.S. District 27 congressional seat, said the area's biggest issues included repairing aging infrastructure and keeping the federal government out of local and state business as much as possible. U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, was unable to make the forum because Congress is in session, he said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Lindsay Olives Summer Party
American Food July 25, 2011 Amanda Mouttaki 3
This is an exciting week for me and MarocMama, it's a full week of olive love! It should come as no surprise to many that we eat a lot of olives. Morocco is well known for their olives and olive oil. I always come home with kilos of them in my suitcase. But they only last so long. My go-to olives have always been the Lindsay brand, just like they were for my mom and grandma. I didn't even realize until I was a grown-up and doing my own shopping that there was another brand of olives! So when I headed to Washington DC a few months ago for Eat, Write, Retreat and learned Lindsay was one of the sponsors I was so excited. After gushing about my love affair to the lovely Lindsay ladies we put together a great idea for posts featuring olives and summer parties. So get your party hats on because I've got some great ideas for your summer parties.
Olives are great for summer or winter but I think they are an obvious choice for summer entertaining. All of the recipes I've created can be made without turning on your oven or range (but you certainly can use your oven if needed). But you will need your grill and a slow-cooker. (Who wants to be inside in summer? Not me!) They also are all recipes that can be done quickly and made for a large crowd.
I've used a variety of Lindsay Olive products that I got in my local grocery store. So if I can find them in my rural Midwestern grocery you'll be able to find them in your local stores as well.
So let's get the party started! Today's recipe is for a Cheesy Olive Spread Crostini. You can make the spread ahead of time and store until ready to put together.
- 1/2 can Lindsay Black Olive Naturals
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 3 oz ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- pinch of salt and pepper
- French Baguette
- melted butter or olive oil for brushing bread

We had a great time everything in the hotel is nice. We will def come stay again
A location next to the Miami River and budget rates lure business travelers to this downtown Miami hotel. The James L. Knight Center and the Miami Convention Center are steps away from the property. Guests find an outdoor pool, fitness center and 24-hour business center on premises. A spacious lobby fitted with tray ceilings and crystal chandeliers set the tone for the traditional style of the hotel whose rooms feature city or river views.
This is not a comprehensive list of fees. Any amounts listed above may not include taxes and are subject to change.
Customers who viewed River Park Hotel and Suites - Port of Miami also booked these hotels.
Rates quoted in currencies other than the hotel's base currency are subject to the rate of the international exchange. Rate may change throughout stay. Rate may reflect average nightly rate. Extra charges may apply. Incidental charges, such as room service, are not included in the rate.
The amenities and/or facilities may not be located at the hotel, but within a reasonable distance, and additional charges may apply for use.

The Hosting Experience
Hosting a friend who came to Miami for the first time. Location is amazing! Metromover is almost at the hotel door, and that is helpful. The staff is not the most friendly staff in the world and it comes with a hint of predujice that really makes
your day... Complimentary breakfast was there, but didnt feel like taking it, as there are other options nearby.
Would not recommend
Not a second time
Plus: Lovely pool on intercoastal and staff allowed me to hang out at pool till room was ready, around 2:00pm..... But that was about it.
Resturant/ bar closed and nothing but fast food within walking distance. I walked 5 blocks both ways
for a bottle of wine
-Bed was cheap and uncomfortable, linens thin
Tub/shower handle broken.. Ft desk told me to jiggle it and pull on it
-Front desk was rude except for check in clerk
-Waited 30 minutes for cab next day-
-$25.00 + tip to airport
No hotel port or airport shuittle
Breakfast was cold corn flakes, white bread, juice and coffee.
For a few $ more try LaQuinta Airport
-Only one elevator worked and hotel guests had to wait quite bit
Is not worth it
They do not have email to send the confirmation, for I had to wait for my room until only they receive fax. The only day with no hot water. This hotel is old but I should have paid that extra buck to stay somewhere else.
South beach is beautiful, but watch out for the restaurants near the beach for they scam you with 20-50 % off selected foods and drinks, but they automatically charge you 20% tip, in which they do bad service.
Sold My Guaranteed Room
This hotel sold my guaranteed room and had no rooms available when I arrived. I was switched to a horrible, disgusting, extremely dirty hotel miles and miles from the downtown.

I have a fridge in my garage. I have found that a glass of ice water or a cold drink outside is very important to me. When I discovered melting ice dripping onto the garage floor I was very upset. I spun the fridge and found that the compressor and fan weren't starting. I got out my multi-meter and discovered that power was not making it to these components. I did some research and found the wiring diagram online. There really isn't too much going on with a fridge and the most likely candidate seemed to be the run capacitor. I ordered the part, replaced it in a few minutes and the fridge began working again.

One word sums up Long Beach's two congressional seats: safe.
There's little expectation that the candidates running against Reps. Alan Lowenthal in the 47th District and Linda Sánchez in the 38th District will have any success. It means that the two incumbents are poised to get two more years on Capitol Hill.
"They're both pretty much a shoe-in," said Jeff Adler, a Long Beach political consultant.
He's not the only one that thinks so. The University of Virginia's Center for Politics rates Lowenthal and Sánchez "safe" as well, as it does for most districts in California.
Lowenthal, a freshman Democrat, is running to keep a seat that includes most of Long Beach. He's one of the best-known local politicians, and he has a Rolodex filled with local and statewide allies. He's running against Republican Andy Whallon, a political newcomer with little name recognition.
Sánchez, a Democrat, has been in the House of Representatives since 2003 and is running against Republican Ben Campos to keep her seat representing the 38th District. It's a repeat of 2012, and registration figures tilt the odds in Sánchez's favor once more.
And these unevenly matched races mean that voters aren't likely to pay much attention, and turnout likely will be low in the June 3 primary, Adler said.47TH DISTRICT LONG BEACH
After 18 months into his first term in the House, Lowenthal, a household name in Long Beach politics, is running to keep the seat from Whallon, a political unknown.
Lowenthal, 73, a former Long Beach city councilman and former member of the state Senate and Assembly, represents a district that includes Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill and Avalon in Los Angeles County, plus Buena Park, Cypress, Garden Grove, Los Alamitos, Midway City, Rossmoor, Stanton and Westminster in Orange County. He views the race as a referendum of his brief tenure in federal office.
Whallon, 52, a newcomer to politics, is taking a page from the GOP national playbook and casting the campaign as a vote on the Affordable Care Act.
"That's what everyone is talking about," Whallon, an engineer, said. "That's what's going to have the biggest impact on people's lives over the years. Are they going to have health insurance through their employer or are they going to get it through the exchange, or are we going to allow people to buy outside the exchange?"
Whallon, who is single, earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan and has done graduate coursework in philosophy at Cal State Long Beach. He has a personal, intellectual interest in the academic side of public policy and has studied the relationship between politics and philosophy.
Lowenthal said he doesn't think an attempt to take down Obamacare will resonate with voters.
"That's not going to play really well in California when we have 2 million people who have health coverage who didn't have it before," he said, adding that his most important job is to "protect families."
Lowenthal has tried his hand at introducing big bills in the House, though none has taken root. A few amendments have been adopted into legislation passed by the House, such as funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs to clear backlogs of claims.
For now, the campaigns aren't amounting to much. Democrats account for 44 percent of registered voters in the district, while 28 percent are Republicans. And since there are only two candidates on the ballot, they will both, by default, make it past the June 3 primary and to the general election. So they are not focused on energizing voters to get them to the polls later this spring; that effort will come this fall.
To support that drive, Lowenthal has $333,723 cash on hand as of March 31, according to federal campaign filings.
Whallon has only filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.
Lowenthal, who is married with two children, earned a bachelor's degree from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and a doctorate from Ohio State University. He is a Dodgers fan, and he also likes to play racquetball.38TH DISTRICT CERRITOS, LAKEWOOD

Fresh water boat to salt water
Hi All,
I hope this in the right forum. If not would a moderator please move it; I almost started this thread in the Gear and Maintenance forum.
I am have been eyeing a boat that has been sitting on Yachtworld for several years now and remains unsold. If I got this boat I would want to move it to the ocean. As near as I tell the boat has been in fresh water at least 15 years, if not 20 years or longer.
What are some of the areas, beyond the usual boat buying issues, I should be concerned with. Is it a good that it has been in fresh water for so long? Could this such a large can of worms that I would be generally better off considering a boat that has spent her whole life in seawater?
Freshwater boats usually fetch a premium over their saltwater equivalents. Boats kept in freshwater, generally, are in much better shape with much less deterioration and corrosion. Also, due to the geographic location of freshwater lakes being in predominantly northern areas, the boats tend to be used for less of the year, further contributing to their better quality. If it's not being sold it could be due to other issues, but usually being in freshwater is not one of them.
Fresh water boats are considered by many to be advantagous over salt water boats. They have been subject to less growth and in many parts of the continent spend near half the year hauled out, which reduces potential blistering issues, and makes the boat "less old" in terms of use than her saltwater sister.
I don't think there's any issue re: moving the boat to the ocean other than determining it had been properly cradled and winterized during the winter months.
Of bigger concern is your statement that it's been on Yachtworld for "years"..... perhaps there's a reason for that.
One thing I forgot to mention... very small hose leaks are not calamitous on freshwater boats and may not be fixed while in freshwater. They can wreak havoc with corrosion very quickly once a boat is moved to saltwater.
I'd say all else being equal, that a boat in fresh water ages about 1/3-1/2 the rate of a salt water boat - that a boat 10-15 years on a lake woulkd have the same wear as 5 years on the ocean. Salt water is very corrosive - you see this aging in most anything in the boat, all metal parts, electronics, etc.
I bought a seven year old C&C 30 on lake Champlain back when, to my eye at the time the boat appeared all but new.
The two major issues you will have are 1) the electrolysis zincs will probably all need to be replaced, and 2) the antifouling will probably have to be re-done.
Most boats in freshwater use magnesium zincs, which are too active and will erode very quickly in salt water. The antifouling paint used on most freshwater boats isn't strong enough or aggressive enough for a boat used in salt water.
Also, check the engine cooling system, and make sure it is properly configured for use in salt water.
Shouldn't be an issue otherwise.
Thanks for the replies. They seem to mirror my own thinking. I just wanted a little feedback to help reassure me that I was not too far off-base. Any additional comments would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,

Title: Assuring berries on Viburnum dentatum
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I just purchased 2 blue muffin viburnum bushes-I live in Kansas-How many years will it be before they get berries? They are full size(3-4 ft) Do I need to trim them down for winter or just mulch them good-also, I only have these 2 viburnums-Do I need a different kind for them to get berries?
This question came up fairly recently, with the same cultivar, 'Blue Muffin', of Viburnum dentatum (southern arrowwood) as the ones you have just obtained. Here is a quotation from a previous answer.
"Many plants exhibit self-incompatibility—a genetic trait produced by a gene that creates a chemical barrier when the pollen of a genetically identical plant falls on the carpel (female part). This chemical barrier prohibits the pollen from fertilizing the ovules and there will be no fruit. V. dentatum plants are commonly propagated vegetatively from cuttings. If they are propagated from the same stock, such as your cultivar "Blue Muffin" must have been, they are going to be genetically identical—in other words, clones. So, you do need at least one plant that isn't a clone of your "Blue Muffin" plants to produce pollen that won't be chemically barred from fertilizing your flowers. The University of Connecticut site lists 8 cultivars of V. dentatum, including your "Blue Muffin", so there are other possibilities. I recommend that you visit our National Suppliers Directory and enter your city to find nurseries in your area that specialize in native plants. You can visit their websites (if they list one) and/or telephone them to find out what cultivars they carry of V. dentatum. Just to be on the safe side you might buy two completely different cultivars to plant."
The tricky thing is that Viburnum are monoecious, meaning that there are both male and female flowers on each bush. But, because when you buy two bushes of a single cultivar, they are both clones, you need at least one Viburnum of a different cultivar (although it will still be a clone, just not of the same cultivar) in order to get berries.
Since the 'Blue Muffin" cultivar is apparently a smaller version of Viburnum dentatum, it sounds as though it is already big enough to begin flowering in the spring, followed by berries IF you have obtained another sub-species or cultivar and it is pollinating at the same time.The Viburnum is hardy from USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 8, and Kansas City, in Northeastern Kansas, appears to be Zone 5b, you shouldn't worry too much about pruning in the winter, but mulch is always a good idea, protecting the roots from both heat and cold, and helping to keep moisture in the soil.

Paris Saint-Germain have leapt to the defence of defender Thiago Silva following Joey BartonŌĆÖs criticism of him on Twitter.
The Marseille midfielder, on loan from QPR, posted on the social networking site that Silva was an ŌĆśoverweight ladyboyŌĆÖ who is overrated like many other Brazilians.
Despite Barton later posting that Silva had played a brilliant match in the 2-2 Champions League draw with Barcelona on Tuesday night, PSG were full of support for their player following the negative comments.
"In the last few hours, on social networks, unacceptable remarks have been made by Olympique Marseille player Joey Barton against Paris St Germain player Thiago Silva,ŌĆØ read a statement on PSGŌĆÖs official website.
"These attacks are serious and go beyond mere verbal jousting. The directors of the club, the players and the coaching staff are supportive of Thiago Silva, and cannot accept such statements.
"They reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the values of respect that should govern our sport.
"Thiago Silva and Paris St Germain reserve the right to take any action they deem necessary."

There are, no doubt, any number of otherwise reasonable female pedagogues who have struck up affairs with underage male students, but why Hannah Fidell's A Teacher has to present this species of relationship as a case study in female hysteria is never clear. Scrupulously avoiding any hints of sensationalism, Fidell centers her film on the rather mundane business of high school English teacher Diana (Lindsay Burdge) sneaking off for assignations with pupil Eric (Will Brittain), until all of a sudden Diana realizes she can't live without the kid. But instead of probing the details of the characters' behaviors beyond merely noting the simple business of Diana's obsession and Eric's youthful arrogance, the director substitutes daft touches such as dimly ironic commentary (a clueless partygoer calls Diana the teacher that students "would like to bang") and shorthand signifiers of obsession (Diana clicking repeatedly on Eric's Facebook photos while ominous drones and tom-drum rolls fill the soundtrack). When Diana's fixations begin to take over, Fidell seems ill-prepared to steer the film into strictly psychological territory, resulting in a project that loses its fraught sense of control at the same moment as its embattled protagonist.

Noise and Competition in Strategic Oligopoly
Focusing on homogeneous beliefs, we can distinguish two commonly shared ideas that, i) the competition between informed traders destroys their trading profits, ii) trading with a noisy signal brings about a loss in the expected profits. So far, it has been proved in the latter framework, that when N strategic and perfectly informed traders compete in the financial market, i) the informativeness of prices increases with the degree of competition and, ii) the aggregate and individual profits go to 0 when N is large. In this paper, we propose a general study where N strategic informaed agents have heterogeneous beliefs, i.e. are endowed with noisy information and compete à la Nash. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a linear equilibrium generalizing Kyle (1985) results to the case of N informed traders when the insiders have heterogeneous beliefs. In this general framework, we derive the following striking results: for certain regions of noise and numbers of competitors in excess of four, i) each individual expected profit is greater than the one obtained in the perfectly informed (and homogeneous beliefs) case; ii) the aggregate profit has a finite (strictly) positive limit when N is large. iii) Even when an infinite number of insiders compete in the market, the price is no longer efficient and does not fully reveal the final liquidation value of the risky asset. iv) In the particular case where each informed agent is endowed with a signal the precision of which is the same, a) we show that there exists an optimal level of noise for which each individual expected profit is maximized; b) we show that there exists an optimal size of the market for which the aggregate expectged profit is maximized; c) the liquidity is an increasing function of the number of informed traders but has a finite limit for large N; d) the informativeness of prices is a decreasing function of the number of informed traders.

Denise: Hi Mr. Alderson. I'm Denise Montgomery and this is my sister Alicia. That's our dad over by the car. You may remember us from a few weeks ago when we came here trick-or-treating for Halloween.
Alicia: Thank you for the M&M. It was delicious.
SA: And what can I do for you ladies today?
D: As you can see we're Girl Scouts and we're just starting our month of selling Girl Scout Cookies and wonder whether you'd like to buy some.
SA: As a matter of fact, Mrs. Alderson and I love Girl Scout cookies. Tell me what you have and we'll see if we can do business.
D: This year we have five kinds. Let's see if I can remember. Oh yeah. There's Thin Mints, Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades, and Thank U Berry Munch.
SA: Wow. That many and they all sound so good. Although I recall having the Peanut Butter ones once and didn't care all that much for them. I guess to each one's own.
D: They're just $4.00 a box with a minimum order of six boxes.
SA: Boy, times have certainly changed. Back years ago when we lived in Oakland you could buy just one box at a time and I remember them going for like about a dollar and half per box. Are you quite sure you can't do better than $4.00 and maybe sell us just one or two boxes?
D: I'm sorry Mr. Alderson but our scoutmaster was quite clear on this.
SA: The price really kind of shook me...
D: My daddy says that everything these days costs a lot more than it used to.
SA: I can see that your daddy is a smart man. How about this. Let me think about it and talk it over with some friends and advisors. Maybe you can come back in a few weeks and we can discuss this more.
D: Sure Mr. Alderson. Bye.
D: Hi Mr. Alderson it's us again. Would you like to order some cookies now?
SA: I've been working on my financing spreadsheet and I think I'm ready to order. Our favorites are the Thin Mints so we'll take four boxes of those.
D: I'm sorry sir. But remember, the minimum order is for six boxes AND we're all out of the Thin Mints. Mr. Cashman who lives across the street likes them too and ordered the entire 10 boxes in our allotment. We still have a good number of the Caramel Delights, Lemonades, and Peanut Butter Patties left.
SA: Well, that's a disappointment. That Cashman guy is always waving his wallet around. Oh, well. Maybe we can order three boxes of the Caramel Delights.
D: Six boxes sir.
SA: Just can't do it. I guess we're at an impasse. Not sure what to do - if anything.
D: Would you like us to come back in a few weeks?
SA: Sure. That would be great. Mrs. Alderson really does like them but there's the budget and everything to consider.
D: Hi Mr. Alderson. Today's the last day to order the cookies.
SA: I suppose it's now or never for this cookie season.
D: We've sold just about our entire allotment. Actually all we have left are two boxes of the Peanut Butter Patties. And I remember you saying that you actually didn't like them all that much. But because the boxes are slightly damaged the scoutmaster has said we could sell them for just $1.50 per box. Chances are that some or maybe all of the cookies are broken.
SA: My preference would have been not to have damaged goods but the price is more within our framework so I'll take both boxes. You've got a deal!
As the girls walk away from Alderson's door Denise says to her sister: "Now I know why daddy doesn't root for the Mets anymore."

Today we'd be tourists. We'd made it back across the Great Basin, and we were in Wendover. Civilization -- showers, groceries, laundry, email, cell service, tourist attractions. We'd been pushing hard, and sitting down with the maps, reviewing the route, we realized there was no reason we couldn't sleep in, and take a breather.
Of course, it never works out that way. LDF & I were up early, and decided to hit the grocery store while Dave was recharging his batteries.
We passed this, statue,
which in silhouette looks disturbingly similar to Cristo Redentor
but in reality, is Wendover Will, the
world's largest
mechanical cowboy.

VATICAN CITY When Pope Benedict XVI announced last month he was transferring his respected sex crimes prosecutor to Malta to become a bishop, Vatican watchers immediately questioned whether the Holy See's tough line on clerical abuse was going soft - and if another outspoken cleric was being punished for doing his job too well.
After all, several senior Vatican officials who ran afoul of the Vatican's entrenched ways have recently been transferred in face-saving "promote and remove" moves as the Vatican deals with the fallout from a high-profile criminal trial over leaked papal documents, a mixed report card on its financial transparency and its controversial crackdown on American nuns.
But in an interview on the eve of his departure, Bishop-elect Charles Scicluna insisted he wasn't the latest casualty in the Vatican's turf battles and Machiavellian personnel intrigues. Rather, he said, his promotion to auxiliary bishop in his native Malta was simply that - "a very good" promotion - and more critically, that his hardline stance against sex abuse would remain because it's Benedict's stance as well.
"This is policy," he told The Associated Press. "It's not Scicluna. It's the pope. And this will remain."
Besides, he said laughing over tea at a cafe on Rome's posh Piazza Farnese, "If you want to silence someone, you don't make him a bishop."
Scicluna was named the Vatican's promoter of justice in 2002, a year after then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger pushed through church legislation requiring bishops to send all credible abuse allegations to his office for review and instructions on how to proceed.
Ratzinger, now pope, took over after realizing that bishops were simply moving abusive priests from parish to parish rather than prosecuting them under church law, and would continue to do so unless Rome intervened.
The year Scicluna joined Ratzinger's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the priest sex abuse scandal exploded in the United States, and his office was inundated with what he has called a "tsunami" of cases. The scandal erupted anew in 2010 in Europe, forcing the Vatican to finally tell bishops to report such crimes to police. And it has ignited in Australia this month, with the prime minister ordering a federal inquiry following a string of accusations against priests and allegations of Catholic cover-up.
In his decade on the job, Scicluna became something of the face of the Holy See's efforts to show it was serious about ending decades of sex crimes and cover-up by the church hierarchy. Short, round and affable, with tiny hands and a garrulous laugh, Scicluna, 53, didn't speak out frequently, since much of his work was done behind closed doors, covered by pontifical secret.
But when he did, it carried weight.
"Scicluna embodied the zero-tolerance line on sex abuse," veteran Vatican reporter Andrea Tornielli wrote recently.
His actions, too, often spoke louder than words.
"Scicluna did a remarkable job," said Juan Vaca, a former priest who was the first abuse victim Scicluna interviewed in the long-delayed investigation of the Rev. Marcial Maciel, the once-exalted founder of the now-disgraced Legion of Christ religious order. In the years that followed Maciel's church condemnation, "he continued to prosecute other similar cases with the same integrity," Vaca told AP.

The show's title was always announced as "Week Ending..." followed by the broadcast date, although the ellipsis was dropped from its billed title in Radio Times during the mid-seventies. The show was written and recorded at short notice, and satirised events of the week. Each show concluded with "And now here is Next Week's News", although this brace of one-liners was abandoned in the early-nineties. Short gags were thereafter scattered throughout the show.
Until the late-eighties, Week Ending would be taken off the air during election campaigns. As sensitivities eased, it was allowed to remain on air during the 1987, 1992 and 1997 elections, albeit with rigid levels of political balance.
Relatively few editions survive in the BBC archives, and they are rarely repeated. There is an obvious issue of topicality, but this did not prevent annual Year Ending compilations or the re-recording of sketches for a 1989 cassette release.
An extensive history of the series is to be published by Kaleidoscope on 27 October 2008. Prime Minister, You Wanted To See Me? - A History of Week Ending is written by Ian Greaves & Justin Lewis.
First broadcast in 1970 and last broadcast in 1998, Week Ending acted as training ground for a large number of comedy writers, performers and producers. Many young BBC production recruits were given the programme for a month or so in order to get to grips with scripted comedy and working with performers, while the writers' meetings welcomed anyone who cared to wander in off the street. The programme also accepted material by post, fax and e-mail. This open door policy, which it shared with Radio 2's long-running News Huddlines, made it a point of entry for writers who went on to successful careers in British radio and television.
Regular performers included David Jason, Bill Wallis, Nigel Rees, David Tate, Jon Glover, Sheila Steafel, Tracey Ullman, Toby Longworth, Dave Lamb and Sally Grace.
For several months during 1997, Week Ending carried a musical number written by Gerard Foster and performed by Richie Webb. This broke a lengthy hiatus for musical content, which had previously involved Bill McGuffie, David Firman and Steve Brown.
Script contributors included Andy Hamilton, Terence Dackombe, Guy Jenkin, Bridget Leathley, Ged Parsons, Andy Riley, Kevin Cecil, Richard Herring, D.A. Barham, Peter Baynham, Tony Lee, Rich Johnston, Lee Barnett, Graeme Sutherland, Kim Morrissey, Barry Pilton, Ivan Shakespeare, Alan Stafford, Barry Atkins, Stewart Lee and Martin Curtis.
Amongst the producers were John Lloyd, Douglas Adams, Dave Tyler, Harry Thompson, Gareth Edwards, Armando Iannucci, Jon Magnusson, Geoffrey Perkins, Alan Nixon, Griff Rhys Jones, Sarah Smith and Adam Tandy. There were over 40 in all.
From the early 1980s, the theme tune was a loop of the instrumental section of The Associates' 1982 hit "Party Fears Two", which replaced the original 'whistled' flute piece, "Smokey Joe". Over the years, the tune changed a number of times - totalling four pieces, the third debuting in 1993 and the fourth in 1997 - but the final edition in 1998 finished with the original (each of the others having been heard briefly as imitations of the prime ministers who'd been in office when they were introduced - Blair, Major, Thatcher and Wilson - insisted on using the 'correct' theme).
Series writers Ian Brown and James Hendrie wrote a book based on the series, The Cabinet Leaks (1985). "Ten Years With Maggie", a cassette compilation of sketches written during Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister, emerged in 1989.
During the 1980s and 1990s the BBC World Service broadcast a highlights programme once a month. This would cherry pick from Week Ending episodes transmitted during the previous four weeks, more usually items that easily be understood by an international audience. This was brodcast by the World Service, usually on the last Friday of the month, under the title of "Two Cheers for [month] ".

NCAA Football – Week 2
It's a battle in the Beehive State, and it should be a heck of a night for college football betting fanatics, as the Utah State Aggies look to pull off the upset of the Utah Utes.
Utah has taken a lot of steps in the right direction over the course of the last few years, and though it isn't as dominating of a team now in the Pac-12 as it was in the Mountain West, it is clear that it is a program that is going to have the chance to win the Rose Bowl here in the next several years. QB Jordan Wynn has been around the team now for quite some time with varying degrees of success, but this is the year in which he really should shine. He got off to a good start last week, throwing for 200 yards and two TDs, albeit against an FCS team. Wynn has a great back in the backfield in RB John White IV, whom some think could be a longshot Heisman Trophy candidate this year as well. The questions are with this defense. Yes, the unit looked great last week, but in the end, it is a side that is going to give up some points, especially against the brass of the Pac-12. This is going to be a very interesting litmus test against a hungry Utah State team with a heck of a lot of talent.
The Aggies have been dying to become a lot more like their brethren from up the road in Salt Lake City, but alas, they haven't been able to put much of anything together. Their poster child from last year's team, RB Robert Turbin is now in the NFL, and that leaves a massive hole at running back. The good news is that QB Chuckie Keeton now has a year under his belt, and he really looks like he is going to be the man that guides this team in the right direction for the next three years. Keeton threw for 304 yards and averaged over 11 yards per pass attempt in USU's win over Southern Utah last week. Again, we know that we have to be tempered because that came against an FCS team, but any time that you can complete 22-of-26 passing, you have truly done something special.
The Utes have absolutely dominated this series, and they always have. Many are calling for the upset on Friday night, as Utah State figures to be able to step it up and become a bowl team either this year or next. We just don't know, though. There's a reason that Utah is favored, and the point spread has gone up over the course of the last few days. Experience is still on the side of the Utes, and with such a dominating history between these two, we have no choice but to go with the visitors even though times might have changed just a bit since the last time these clubs met in 2009.

Confront, conceal, and concede
- By Peter Feaver
My August "beach" reading plans got waylaid when I picked up David Sanger's remarkable book, Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power.
This is one of the most gripping "first draft of history" kind of books I have read in quite some time. It reads like a Tom Clancy novel, perhaps too much like one since it offers dramatic revelations on some of the most sensitive operations of the U.S. government. Many of the revelations paint President Obama in the most favorable light possible, but the cumulative effect might ironically be damaging to the administration, precisely because the reporting on sensitive matters is so extensive.
Sanger is a gifted reporter, and he is also an honest one. While it is obvious that he views the Administration favorably and he goes to some lengths to highlight positive angles where he can, he also includes items that don't reflect so well on the administration.
One of those in the Afghanistan section really struck me. Sanger describes the internal debate over the Afghanistan surge and reports that both Secretary of Defense Gates and Secretary of State Clinton considered it a mistake to announce an artificial timeline for ending the surge at the same time that the president authorized the surge. I knew about Gates' position, but I didn't know about Clinton's.
Sanger goes on to say:
"Clinton thought [the deadline to start pulling the surge troops back out] was a mistake and still does; an internal deadline would have been fine, she believed, but a public one simply telegraphed to the Taliban and the Pakistanis when the United States would be leaving. The Taliban read the newspapers too, she pointed out.
In the end her concern — also voiced by Gates — seems prescient. The effort to explore the possibility of 'reconciliation' talks with the Taliban sputtered along in low gear for years. It is impossible to know for certain how the pullout plan affected the Taliban's calculations, but interviews with Taliban taken prisoner by NATO suggested that the insurgents knew time was on their side, and they were simply waiting for the Americans to begin a significant withdrawal.
This is a remarkable bit of reporting and I am surprised it has not received more attention. It is, of course, not big news that the timeline was a blunder. Many people recognized that from the very start, and it has been a theme of many posts here on Shadow Government. It is also a standard talking point of the Romney campaign.
What is big news is that key players in the Obama administration knew it was a mistake from the beginning, and that one very important one is willing to admit that to David Sanger even today.
It may be too late to repair the damage of the strategic blunder, but Secretary Clinton's concession and candor on this issue is nonetheless refreshing.

Great Toy
posted 6 years ago
I have one cat that loves these toys. He swats them all over the house. He really beats on them and they are still holding up. One of my ferrets also really likes these. She tries to chew the ears off. These are great toys. The hold up well and they dont' have the strong catnip smell like most catnip toys.
Pros: great toy, not smelly, holds up well
Cons: a little expensive

Oh dear, that's terrible. Can you just go in another room and ignore her? If you can't, then I think you call the police even though you probably don't want to because if she's underage and she's drunk they can arrest her and she might spend the night in the drunk tank. And then if that doesn't help her turn things around, then I think you insist on counseling and maybe Al-Anon or Alcoholics Anonymous.
Personally, I'd throw her out of the house until she learned to behave properly.
If I could physically put her to bed and stay with her until she slept it off, then have a long heart to heart talk with her, that's what I would do.
uuu go to a psychologist/psychiatrist and ask the same question cos u wont believe meee and they will tell u that uuu and possibly u and her father and maybe together with yr other children made her this way but the dammage was done when she was very small,from her birth to her fifth year of age and possibly till her early teens ie before her puberty and its too late to do anything now.
treat yrself and yr possibly changed behaviour towards yr daughter will possibly make her behave differently.
she is very unhappy and u and her first surrounding after her birth made her unhappy.so now u eat what u cooked.sorry but u had to hear the truth once in yr life...
i say only the truths here cos i believe that truth helps more than lie
You tell her to leave and escort her out the door.

|About Me:
|Male, 25
|Interests (Hobbies, favorite activities, etc.):
|Photography, music, hiking, vintage keyboards (geekhack.org), gaming (PC/Xbox)
|What I do for a living:
|Security analyst
|Headphone Inventory
|HiFiMan HE-500, Sennheiser HD 650, Denon AH-D1000, Grado SR80i
HiSoundAudio BA 100, NuForce NE700X, Sennheiser CX 300S, Brainwavz R1, Phiaton PS 20
|Headphone Amp Inventory
|Source Inventory
|AuneT1 preamp output serving as USB DAC (I feel that this is likely the weakest link in my chain, so please PM me if you have any upgrade advice you'd like to share)
|Cable Inventory
|ilikemountaindew HD650 cable, IXOS RCA700-1 1m HIFI Audio Interconnect
|Power-Related Components
|I'm quite skeptical of expensive cables... If they're the right gauge with decent shielding I don't see going much further.
|Other Audio Equipment
|15" Retina Macbook Pro, older Intel i3 gaming PC, JRiver MC
|Audio-Related Tweaks
|None yet, but if I can build up the confidence I'd like to upgrade the caps and resistors in my WA6SE to the fancy ones I keep hearing about (blackgate, etc).
|Music Preferences
|I love listening to any excellent recordings, but I grew up with NIN, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Daft Punk, Green Day, The Offspring, Metallica, Queen, Iron Maiden, and Bob Marley always on my MP3 player.
|Interests (non-headphone)
|I'm interested in all sorts of knowledge. If I read about an intriguing topic, or stumble across a subject that I know little of, I compulsively research until I've satisfied my craving to learn.
|Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets)
|Nikon D7000, 105MM Micro-Nikkor lens, IBM Model F and M keyboards, HTC One, iPad 2
