DOD has raised concerns about certain business practices of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), including its role in civilian medicine. In response, AFIP implemented changes and drafted a business plan. On May 13, 2005, DOD recommended closing AFIP as part of the Base Realignment and Closure process. The Senate Committee on Armed Services, in a report accompanying the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, directed that GAO study AFIP's business plan. GAO (1) described the business plan's key initiatives and projected financial benefits, (2) evaluated the business plan's potential to improve internal controls and achieve financial benefits, and (3) assessed the likely impact of the business plan on the role of AFIP in military and civilian medicine. GAO reviewed the major assumptions and analyses for developing the plan and interviewed AFIP and DOD officials, and members of the civilian medical community.
AFIP's business plan has four key initiatives: improving AFIP's business practices, increasing the amount of services it provides for the military, reducing staff, and consolidating its facilities. The business plan describes various efforts in support of each of these initiatives. AFIP estimated that the changes described in its business plan will result in $17.5 million in annual financial benefits. Under the business plan, AFIP improved internal controls over some of its operations, particularly over AFIP's consultation services and related finances; however, AFIP has not implemented other internal controls described in the business plan such as developing a system to determine AFIP's costs for performing specific activities. In addition, GAO's review indicated that AFIP is unlikely to achieve all of the financial benefits projected in the business plan. Financial benefits from the business plan will likely be approximately $5 million--$12.5 million less than AFIP projected. In implementing its business plan, AFIP has changed its balance of military and civilian work, and AFIP and civilian pathologists said that these trends are likely to continue. DOD and AFIP officials have stated that they want to preserve AFIP's civilian work but do not want to fund it with increasingly scarce DOD funds. Over the last several years, AFIP has reduced the amount of consultation, research, and education services it provides for the civilian medical community and increased the amount of services it provides for the military. AFIP pathologists told GAO that they expect AFIP's civilian consultation, research, and education to continue to decline in the future. Half of AFIP's 20 department chairs believe that the business plan would negatively affect AFIP's ability to attract top pathologists in the future. Although DOD recently recommended the closure of AFIP as a part of the Base Realignment and Closure process, the process has not been completed. Until the process is completed, AFIP's inability to achieve its projected financial benefits could result in a budget shortfall because DOD officials said they intend to reduce AFIP's funding by the amount of the financial benefits projected in the business plan.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 directed the disestablishment of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP). Therefore, the recommendation for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to reevaluate the financial benefits projected in AFIP's business plan will not be completed.
Recommendation: In order to better manage changes being instituted at AFIP, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs should reevaluate the financial benefits projected in AFIP's business plan so that DOD will have a more reliable estimate of AFIP's revenues and expenses.

REDHOOD AND THE OUTLAWS 18 REVIEW – Redemption? Yes! Requiem? No!
Writer: Scot Lobdell
Artist: Tyler Kirkham
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
Before I climb atop my high horse, let me say this is an amazing issue. I would say THE BEST issue of RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS to date. Lobdell peeled away psychological layers in Jason Todd that few writers have ever dared to explore. This issue fully redeems the once nostalgia-riding upsell tactic of Todd's resurrection into an actual honest to God good idea for the Bat and DC universe.
Kirkham is a wonderful welcome change to Rockafort. I'll miss the Rock, I'm on the hells yes side for his unique stye. I'm also a bit upset I must retire my coined LobRocster contraction, because LobHam just doesn't sound as good, but Tyler keeps the energy strong and fast which is a staple of this book. His style brings a darker less cartoony tone, which is exactly what was needed for the deep soul searching Jason undergoes in this issue.
However, I have an issue. And it's not aimed at Scott, Tyler or any of the other creators on the Bat books. Unless you just woke up from a coma, you know doubt that Damian Wayne is no longer with us. To commemorate this event, the Bat books following Damian's demise have all come with the sub-brand of "Requiem" with a beautiful Robin branded R leading the phrase.
Requiem is defined as "a mass for the dead."
Makes sense, no? I mean Damian did die. So why for the sweet love of Fisher Brothers Funeral Services have I read two books now that have the Requiem moniker and not an ounce of Damian?
I actually defended BATGIRL on our Spoiler Alert podcast this past week when the guys wanted to rail on this topic…until I realized I couldn't. Yes, I laughingly tried to argue that Dick Grayson telling he Babs he was too upset to talk right now counted as a nod to Damian's death. I know I was reaching, but at least there was an attempt. RED HOOD though has not one mention of Damian. Not one.
Redemption. Regret. Hell even Rebirth would be very fitting R's for this title as we watch Jason recoup from recent events in "Death of the Family."
In his fugue state of recovery we see scenes from the monastery he went to after he was resurrected – a hallucination that crosses ever so gently into reality – interlaced with his lifeless body where Bruce and Alfred hold constant vigil. Between the words of the dead wise-woman we met earlier in the series and Alfred's tough but tender caring of both Jason and Bruce a transformation occurs. Jason realizes he's held grudges and those grudges have consumed whatever soul he was resurrected with. He comes to an understanding of self and more importantly the responsibility his gifts place upon him to live by some kind of ethical code. There was a tenderness and endearment to this issue that makes me glad it came so late in the series, because I think all the Mommy bloggers who came after this title simply don't deserve this level of good storytelling in their lives (yeah, I'm still not letting that go). When Bruce and Jason hugged at the end, I was a little verklempt and not once felt it was forced or hokey.
I've had a few even stauncher than I defenders try to say this isn't a literal Requiem. First off, no shit, I didn't expect a cross-over comprised of Gregorian chants. When I probe further these Internet sages try to say it's a metaphorical Requiem for the "Death of the Family." I'll be honest, I was close to buying this, until once again I look at the word on the cover and the R is clearly off of Robin's costume.
This issue was a departure from the flippant norm (not a slight – I like the irreverence in which this book dabbles usually), but a great departure. It wasn't a damn Requiem for Damian though.
BATMAN 17 REVIEW: Death of The Family…We Were All Wrong
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Greg Capullo
Publisher: DC
Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche -Ain't It Cool News)
The frenzied pace that has been Death of the Family doesn't stop for the opening pages of its final chapter. The eyes are wide open, the narcotics and concussions have worn off, and at last the platters are ready to be revealed. What follows will be one of most divisive moments in comics this year.
The "reveal" that we've all been waiting for, the thing that was theorized so much it approached Godwin's law seconds after the series was announced (and no the Joker is not Hitler, just in case those folks thought they were right), is a delight of massive morbidity. It's an atrocity exactly on par…I mean exactly….with the fate that befell the Joker at the start for the New 52.
Face…it's what's for dinner. Dick, Damian, Jason, Tim and Babs are all served a hearty helping of their own puddum puddin. It was a moment of horror, insight into the true face of evil, and a poignant, if batshit crazy poem to Batman's one Achilles' heel as Joker uses this to moment to show just how soft the family literally is beneath their respective masks.
And then we find it's all just a fugazi, a falsehood meant to satisfy the sensationalists of the world who needed this to culminate in physical, not emotional entropy. The truth is The Reveal has been in front of our faces all along. I would say, "No pun intended," but I'm honestly not sure there isn't some kind of meta level joke in all this being played on us as well.
The true purpose of The Joker's plans in Death of the Family was revealed two months ago when the clan found out the Joker had been in the cave and Bruce never told them. Death in the Family was all about deconstructing trust. It's ultimate purpose was to separate all of the Bat titles so each character can find a light to grow outside of Bruce's shadow. And more importantly add much needed continuity distance from the carryover Flash brought back with him from the Flashpoint universe.
So, no one's dead, the atrocity is that of the sprit: Babs' limbs all function, Jason didn't take another crowbar to the face, and Damian still faces more danger from his mother in BATMAN INC. than he does inside the Bat-Cave. I know there will be fans who will cry foul in the fact the worst thing to happen to any character is a waft of ultra potent Joker toxin. But, when I'm asked the inevitable question of whether I liked Death of the Family the answer will be, "Yes, but only if…
Only if Bruce truly has to fight his way back into the family's hearts and souls (including Damian). Only if once Snyder sets his sights on Metropolis we see other writers truly embrace the foundation Snyder laid before them. Only if DC commits to taking a break from Bat cross-overs for a while to let each character develop independently. This last point is most important. Snyder did what he does best, he built mythos through history. Now its time to honor this path and tread it truly, press forward with more tales of detective work in the now and let history come organically moving forward.
Death of the Family is a tragic story of love unrequited. This is the Joker's tragedy. Even though he knew who Bruce was all along, it was never about exposing Batman, it was about keeping him hidden so the game could on and on and on….

Reviewer: Rob Patey (aka Optimous Douche – Ain't It Cool News)
"You know what Jason Todd? I helped kill you 25 years ago. I was one of the legions who dialed 1-900-KILL-TOD and felt my parents' wrath when the bill came so my voice could be heard. I felt a modicum of guilt for the decision and then felt the weight of that guilt subside with your return. All of my remorse went away when you found a good comic book and true direction in RED HOOD. However, after BATMAN INCORPORATED 6, I take it all back. I'm glad you died and I'm pissed you got to bang Starfire, because anyone who messes with BAT-COW will feel the wrath of Damian Wayne and Optimous Douche."
OK, that feels better.
I chided Vol 1. Of BATMAN INCORPORATED. While I dug the idea of a bunch of Batman's running around and once I got past the Knight & Squire issues I felt the execution was top notch, I just could not get past Bruce Wayne's public declaration of financing BATMAN. I felt it was akin to giving Clark Kent contacts and still expecting us to buy his ruse. Essentially it opened the kimono WAY TOO far for comfort (and stretched the believability that comic denizens are really that obtuse).
Vol 2 though has completely shifted gears. Instead of Bruce travelling the world recruiting, all of his BATMAN'S have come back to the aerie in Gotham to battle Leviathan and their seductive mistress, Talia Al Ghul. Without the public declarations, trite cultural tropes, and Batman especially acting like an Amway salesman to get people on board, BATMAN INCORPORATED took on a persona I could get behind with the fullest of support.
The series also introduced BAT-COW, probably my favorite character of the NEW 52. I have no bovine fetish, what I adore is what BAT-COW symbolizes in my favorite Robin to date, Damian Wayne. Raised by assassins, spoiled beyond belief, and smarter than the average bear, Damian the little prick is easy to portray. And before you give me a petulant "ttt," think about it. I'm right. For issue upon issue people wanted to beat this kid as he sassed off to Dick Grayson while Batman was on his sojourn through time. Since the return though, Robin the scared and is this issue reveals truly unwanted little boy has never been explored. Morrison rectified this with BAT-COW. In the adoption of this doe eyed creature we see the sad and all too often plight of only children befriending and anthropomorphizing animals for friendship. And it doesn't hurt that the adoption took place in perfect juxtaposition with his killer side in BATMAN INCORPORATED 1.
Another reason I'm fully enamored with this volume, and this particular issue, is that Talia gets the best of all the worldly Bats and it's up to the OB (original bats) to save their foreign asses. Squire, my least favorite of the international crew is hanging on the precipice of death at the end. I give a big Bally Ho to any writer that's willing to off cockney stereotypes; with Morrison leaving DC I would pay him personally to rewrite My Fair Lady with Eliza turning to prostitution and heavy drug use at the end.
It wasn't all shits and giggles for me this issue though. First there's Jerk-Off Jason who takes a direct stab at BAT-COW in the Bat-Cave as the four Robin's monitor Batman's progress towards Talia in her abandoned warehouse maze of doom. Then there was a further blow to the fragile Robin ego. Hands down, Burnham draws my favorite version of Damian, making him look like a true little boy with a chip on his shoulder. What we hadn't seen before in Robin though, was pain. In the past any emotional scars were firmly scabbed over with attitude. With Morrison's words and Bunham's art, my heart broke a little when she said the only reason for Damian was to have spare parts for Ra's. It's an epic blow to the little scamp that Talia then pours lemon juice on in the form of an epic cliff-hanger of danger to Damian or all of Gotham. I'm not going to say what it is, but the Judgment Scales on the cover will give you a clue and it's a perfect swan song before Morrison he says sayonara to DC for a while.
I'll buy anything with BAT-COW and receive a modicum of enjoyment from it, but in the hands of Master Morrison every BAT-MOMENT is Kobe instead of ground chuck including BATMAN INCORPORATED 6.
Oh, and fuck you once again Jason.

The nature of Batman and the Joker's relationship has changed with the sensibilities of the time. As we readers get deeper in touch with our feelings and have more free time to lament the human existence, so to have our heroes and their foils sought deeper introspection.
The Golden Age, when men were men and our enemies were eminently clear showed few emotional tethers between Bats and Joker. During the days of WWII, good was good and evil was evil — period. And of course good always triumphed. Flash forward to the silver age and you see the sanitized fifties bleed copious campiness into the title and little insight into either man, simply a goofy game of cat and mouse rife with ludicrous gadgetry and even more ridiculous crimes of grandeur. Go Bronze and we start to see a few chinks in each characters' emotional armor, albeit the zaniness carry over of the silver age still forbade either from too deep of introspection. The 70s was the me generation and we began to see that essence in the pages of Batman. We began to know who the men were behind the masks and mayhem. The Dark Age propelled us into the ID of both characters as opposite sides of the same coin. Who made who was the question that plagued my mind leaving Tim Burton's BATMAN, and can one really exist without the other was my walkaway from Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS.
Now, we have Scott Snyder, the modern man in an age where self-discovery isn't a luxury, it's a requirement for societal success. In a time when the term Bromance can easily cross the lips of guys who are straight as an arrow, is it any wonder that the transformation of BATMAN and Joker's relationship is one of an obsessive affection? Love, ladies and gentlemen is the new emotional bedrock between BATMAN and the Joker, and the penance for that love being unrequited is, "DEATH OF THE FAMILY."
BATMAN 15 bleeds motivation for the Strap-On Jokers' need to squelch all things Bat. In essence Joker wants to be part of the Bat family, he wants to be that crazy cousin at Thanksgiving who someone has to go bail out of jail for drunk driving when they go to get more stuffing from the store. Joker needs to be chased by the Bat like the earth needs the son and Lindsay Lohan needs to smell the inside of jail cells.
Now, even though I've said words like Bromance and Strap-On, let's please not get puerile with the often associated act of love. This is an obsessive love based on an unhinged desire, not the higher state of intimacy and becoming one in flesh. Spirit perhaps, but that's it.
This issue also successfully divided the family, and we are left wondering whether it was of the Joker's devise or merely a side effect to the Joker's grand plan. It's a cool little mind-fuck "later reveal," that more serial books should remember to use. I won't ruin the details on how the Bat Family splits, but I will say it involves Bruce being odd man out for living in a state of delusional deniability regarding the Joker's prowess and wiles.
The back-up story continues to delight, mainly because of Jock's eerie ass way of seeing the world of the Joker. Even the point of view in the panels gives pause for creepiness. The backstories have been trips down memory lane to moments before the crossover started and how the Joker set all the main story's plans in motion. I have to admit this one didn't give me the same ick factor as the Harley episodes, but seeing the first signs of the Riddler in the Bat-Verse as more arrogant than maniacal gave me great hope for future Bat tales.
Everyone who keeps saying, "Robin's going to die. Robin's going to die." Please kindly shut the fuck up. That's a hack move neither Snyder nor DC can afford right now. If after reading BATMAN 15 you still believe this inane theory, I suggest you take a class in understanding subtlety. It's not Robin that's going to die, or Barbara, Dick, or Jason. BATMAN 15 clearly shows that death does not have to be a physical state of being, emotional death or untethering can sometimes be the most painful end of all because you must continue living afterwards.
P.S. When is that freaking face going to rot? I'm not a Sciencey guy, but I always thought faces needed more nourishment than leather and dental floss to avoid becoming necrotic.

Did you know children are increasingly vulnerable to being a victim of identity theft? Their clean credit history is an easy target for perpetrators. Thieves often can profit for years before the crime is detected.
In general, minors should not have credit activity or a credit report until they apply for loans or a credit card. That said, it is possible that they may have a credit history if you have added them as an authorized user to your credit accounts during their teen years.

how did joe turn into a zombie
joe zombie is first one to drive a helicopter joe is master of zombies and i liked the scene when joe was blowing up the helicopters like it is a bad luck day lol!
Short... but Awesome!
I've been watching this series for five years and I never get tired of it. I hope it hasn't been shelved.
This Joe Zombie is the master of zombie and this is best series
The action is great; the military leader got his ass (and ego) handed to him, and it's up o the police comissioner and Joe Zombie himself to take matters into their own hands. This is probably the best in the series and leads up to a wonderful cliffhanger.

It looks a bit dated from the outside and could easily be little more than a pre-theatre hangout given its proximity to the Usher Hall and Royal Lyceum Theatre, but the Jasmine is generally
reckoned to be one of Scotland's top Chinese restaurants. Unusually slick service and an immaculate, red-walled interior set the tone for a regularly changing menu that is a cut above the
provincial norm. At lunchtime there's a hugely popular £9.50 three-course menu, while the evening carte promises contemporary riffs such as crispy king prawns with mango and wasabi dressing,
braised cod and roast pork hotpot, stir-fried asparagus with Chinese preserved vegetables and fried buns, and other specialities you'll struggle to find elsewhere in the city – even if many of the
dishes push up towards the £15 mark. Takeaways too.

text: The entrepreneur/design/creative industries love fancified sexiness, almost demanding it as prerequisite for a job title. However, for all the crafty creativeness used as bait to generate interest in your profession, very few capture the mundane, down and dirty repetitiveness actually required for running, maintaining and growing a business. Because let's face it, running your own business is, as most worthwhile endeavors are, hard. It continuously tests your resolve, focus and faith. The excitement of new customers and new products inevitably wears off, and you are left with the very real and complex question of "how are we going to sustain and grow this customer or product?". Those who actually run and operate a business are very familiar with these difficulties, but for those who perpetually flirt with potential and theories and "big ideas", know that carving out an enterprise is difficult, presents many discouragements and requires the mentality – and embracing – of a grunt worker in order to keep the organization propelling forward. This is one of the primary lessons I have gleaned during my tenure as a business owner and I feel is a very apropos encapsulator of what I do at MuthCo.

The character design is very bad...I am one of thous that wanted something different, but I do understand different is not the same that good, they had very original character design and personalities as potential to do something new, and they came to the for ever stereotypical character design and personalities showing it as something new...they killed knuckles, he was shush an original character on the adventure games, now he is just an other Bluto of hundreds like has it been since tv was born. .:(
sonic 3 and knuckles and sonic and aventure 2 will always be my favorites but i still will look forward to playing sonic boom and adding it to my wii u collection along side bayonetta 2 and xenoblade chronicals x
So it's about making kids games now? Sigh.
"I met a gentlemen today who's played every single Sonic game"
Yeah, I bet he played them at an underground BDSM club while wearing a latex gimp suit. Oh yes Sonic Free Riders... controls so bad it hurts so good.
If you're going to play any recent Sonic game, just make sure you have a safe word.
this lady seems like an old fart who may not care about this game
Sonic Generations was actually really good.
3DS version looks more in the "spirit" of Sonic
Sucks seeing 5 year olds in their pajamas playing this game...
@Celsius765 No one cares about sonic
@tom_cat_01 Better than the other recent Sonic games yeah, but "really good" might be a bit much to describe Generations. Generations was a solid videogame indeed but it can't really count itself amongst great games
@nayce54 I don't see why. The sonic series will need new fans. Us old farts aren't going to be around or fans forever.
@Chaos_Dante_456 @tom_cat_01 Sonic Colours was 'really good', the best Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles IMO.
@kryten212 @Chaos_Dante_456 @tom_cat_01 Never played that one so I can't say, maybe if I ever get a Wii-U I'll check it out. But don't get me wrong while Generations won't ever be in my to video-games list I did enjoy playing most of it. At least two of the mini-games were painful to play though.

I recieved the beneFit catalog in the mail and this caught my eye... I have combination skin with an occasional monthly breakout...I found it to be a great spot treatment. I didnt especially like the top, you have to use your fingers to apply it, but overall it worked wonders for me. A bit expensive, but for me it was ok, because it will probably last me about 2 months.

This product is a major waste of money. $18 for a small amount that's not effective. It keeps my skin matte I'll give it that but doesn't help the zits on my face at all (and I dabbed a lot on). I really didn't know why I spent $18 for this thing. In general I think BeneFit cosmetics have mostly bad products that aren't worth their price tag.

This is a fantastic product - my only complaint is the price, at about $17.00 a tube. I don't get zits that often, so its probably not something I would purchase for that price, however its worth it for someone that has a reoccuring problem. Its portable, non-irritating and you can use it over make up, and it really rids pimples in a short amount of time.

Well, it does it's job to an extent, it stops blemishes from getting worse, but the packaging isn't the best, and it separates after a while. For the price, it should be more miraculous.

Racing: One win is now enough for Dettori
Ascot Festival: Seven years on from the heavenly seven, the world has turned and Frankie has a fresh perspective
Sunday 28 September 2003
In the main entrance at Ascot racecourse there is an eye-catching sculpture, one of Frankie Dettori poised in mid-flying dismount from the saddle. The work is a tribute to the jockey's feat of seven victories from seven mounts seven years ago, an achievement which has rewarded both the Italian and racing in general not so much with the oxygen of publicity, but in his case a maskful of laughing gas.
Racegoers tend to genuflect in the direction of the piece, almost subconsciously, as though it is some religious relic. Not that too many of the 18,500 here yesterday would have invested in what transpired to be a 25,095-1 seven-timer, but, well, you never know...
For Dettori, that day has created a celebrity which has transcended his sport. The jockey, who is Italian-born but British by adoption of his admirers, has photographs of all seven around his Newmarket home. He even went out and bought the seventh winner, Fujiyama Crest, when the horse came up for sale, its future uncertain. "I was determined to save a horse who changed my life," he says. "Now he has a pampered life here."
Back to the present and Dettori arrived here after what he accepts has been a "bad summer, a bad three months". There had been mischievous talk, in some racing quarters, that Dettori's appetite had diminished. "Everyone jumping on the bandwagon that suddenly I'm no good and I don't care any more," he had reflected contemptuously in the build-up to the Ascot Festival.
After the light-aircraft crash in 2000, in which the pilot died, he "refined" his riding schedule. Dettori refuses to fly in light planes, which does restrict his opportunities. Apart from major race days like this, he tends to be more familiar to the public as a team leader on A Question of Sport, a programme for which his Anglo-Italian chatter and ebullience could have been personally designed.
That doesn't mean that any of his instinctive flair in the saddle has deserted him. Before yesterday, he boasted 81 winners this season. The former champion has his eye on 100. As the Flat season nears its conclusion before giving way to the jumping fraternity, there was more than an idle thought that this could be a transitional occasion for him. Seven from seven, seven years on? There was a certain symmetry about the numbers that appealed to superstitious racing folk.
At two minutes past two we certainly knew that the feat was not to be repeated this year. Fifth on Sheikh Mohammed's Privy Seal in the opening Royal Lodge Stakes guaranteed that. Dettori's mount finished well behind Marcus Tregoning's Snow Ridge, given an exceptionally cool ride from a seemingly impossible position by Martin Dwyer, an unsung member of the weighing room.
It was pleasing to witness such quality from a splendid exponent of his trade after a summer which has not been the most auspicious for the boots-and-breeches brigade. Their contretemps with the Jockey Club over use of their mobiles within racecourse property rumbles on. Racing's rulers are concerned about betting implications if the practice is allowed to continue. The jocks insist this is unfair and affects their livelihood.
But at least they are not incurring the wrath of punters, like their French counterparts. Christophe Soumillon, who rides the likely favourite, Dalakhani, in next Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, has complained about the pressure he and his colleagues have faced from racegoers over the use of the whip, with the jockeys being sworn at, and worse. Not for over-use, you understand, but under-use, at least in the eyes of the betting public. Here, excessive whipping is generally well controlled, though Jamie Spencer, third on Sheikh Mohammed's other horse, Rule Of Law, in the opener, received a two-day ban for an infringement.
In general, Dettori prefers to spare the rod, without spoiling the mount under him, and certainly there was no requirement for extreme measures when he brought home Acclamation ahead of his 13 rivals in the Diadem Stakes. Though the favourite, Airwave, was overturned by Dettori's 9-1 winner, it was a decidedly popular victory. This was not one of the stream of top-class horses that materialise from the Arab stables or Coolmore, but is trained by 78-year-old Gerald Cottrell in Devon and owned by an enthusiastic group who call themselves the Dulford Cavaliers.
Dettori performed the ritual leap from the horse that he reserves for significant winners before hugging the trainer's wife, Peggy. Her husband was absent, as always. This Howard Hughes of the racing world prefers to remain at home, even during an afternoon like this when he could be wallowing in the glory of the moment. "He's a bit shy and prefers to be with his horses," explained his wife, who was just about holding back the tears.
It was to prove the Italian's only triumph of the day, and the ride on Godolphin's Dubai Destination in the day's feature event, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, proved an ignominious one. He finished a well-beaten last behind the scintillating Falbrav. "Something must be wrong," Dettori suggested.
For the Arab operation, which owns over 200 horses worldwide, the defeat of the Queen Anne Stakes victor will have been a disappointment, but not one to dwell on. You sensed that for Dettori, his win for the owners of Acclamation, at the opposite end of racing's hierarchy, will have provided a wealth of compensation.

The Floral Collar of Meganium is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.736 billion Meganiumians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Bark Town. The average income tax rate is 68.4%.
The large but inefficient Meganiumian economy, worth 194 trillion Megas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 25,130 Megas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
People are moving into treehouses in record numbers and Meganium has designated New Bark Town as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent. Meganium's national animal is the Meganium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Meganium is ranked 10th in Maltropian Puppet Confederacy and 88,896th in the world for Largest Public Transport Department, scoring 8 on the Societal Mobility Rating.

K. A. Mathiazhagan was an Indian politician and Co-Founder of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). He served as the Finance Minister, Minister of Food, Revenue and Commercial Taxes in the Tamil Nadu government and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
He was born on 7 December 1926 in Kaniyur in Coimbatore district as Somasunduram. He studied at the Boarding High School in Udumalpet. He graduated from Annamalai University. He also studied law and practiced as a lawyer. He died on 17 August 1983. He was the younger brother of K. A. Murugesan, a Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) leader[1] and the elder brother of K. A. Krishnaswamy who later on became a minister in the M.G.R. government.[2][3] Their family is called "The Kaniyur Family" and was called the foremost family of the Dravidian Movement by C. N. Annadurai, as a recognition given to the family for their contributions to the Dravidian Movement.[citation needed]
Political life[edit]
When C. N. Annadurai split from the DK and went on to form the DMK, Mathiazhagan became one of the founding fathers of the DMK along with Annadurai, V. R. Nedunchezhiyan, E. V. K. Sampath and N. V. Natarajan. He went on to become one of the early influential members of the DMK.[4] He was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly from Thousand Lights constituency as a DMK candidate in the 1962, 1967, and 1971 elections.[5][6][7]

Tamil Nadu minister[edit]
He served as a minister of Food, Revenue and Commercial Taxes in C. N. Annadurai's administration from 6 March 1967 to 10 February 1969.[8] He also served as Minister of Finance in M. Karunanidhi's administration after the Annadurai's death. In September 1970 he resigned from the cabinet, citing moral and ethical issues after charges of corruption,involving the purchase of a bungalow, were brought upon him by the opposition. These charges were later on proved to be false.[9] It is claimed in some quarters[who?], that these charges were leveled against him because he was considered to be a threat to Karunanidhi's leadership.[10]
He served as the Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from 1971 to 1972.[11][12] M. G. Ramachandran was expelled from the DMK on October 10, 1972 and founded the party Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Mathiazhagan, the then speaker of the Tamil Nadu assembly, became an open supporter of Ramachandran.[13][14]
He was removed from the office of the Speaker following a constitutional drama which happened in late 1972. On November 14, Mathiazhagan abruptly adjourned the house to 5 December as the DMK filed a motion to remove him from office. Governor K. K. Shah, upon the advice of the council of ministers, prorogued the assembly on November 14 clearing the way for reconvening the assembly even before 5 December. Mathiazhagan and Ramachandran, the leader of the AIADMK in the assembly, filed a writ petition questioning the validity of Governor's action. On 2 December, when the assembly was convened, both Speaker and Deputy Speaker were presiding over the proceedings and both were cancelling each other's actions. After hours of confusion Speaker Mathiazhagan left the house, adjourning the house. However he was removed from the office of the speaker by 176 and 0 votes by a motion headed by V. R. Nedunchezhiyan. Mathiazhagan later filed a writ petition in Madras High Court challenging his removal as speaker. The court dismissed all writ petitions filed by him and Ramachandran.[15]

Botany and Birth Control: elements of social science
Botany was the nineteenth century science par excellence with myriads of enthusiasts scouring fields and pastures for pleasure. It was a simple, cheap and respectable pastime, accessible to artisans and women, that grew in popularity as Britain industrialised and urbanised. This broad appeal may explain why, in part, 'the birds and the bees' provided the euphemism of choice when discussing human reproduction.
This project explores the inter-relationship of botany and birth control, from Malthus through to Marie Stopes, with an assessment of the use of botanical language in birth control literature; an evaluation of the relative importance of botany to the writings of leading birth controllers; and the heuristic importance of botanical methods, concepts and questions, in shaping arguments for birth control.
Dr Stack further considers the centrality of the 'population question' in the growth of self-consciously 'scientific' social thought. In particular, how botany and birth control - in writers as diverse as Annie Besant, George Drysdale, George Bentham and Hewett Cottrell Watson - provided a 'soft' mechanism for the naturalisation of social thought, which pre-dated Darwinism. Birth control, it will be shown, was a key 'element' in the construction of social science.

Everyone who's been following this team for the past few years knows Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo developed a very close friendship over their first few years with the team. Rondo's post-Perk trade funk has widely been blamed on him sulking over the team sending away his best buddy. But a change in uniform doesn't mean there's a change in their friendship. And when his best bud went down with a torn ACL, Kendrick Perkins sprung into action… because that's what Perk does. "When you hear stuff like that, especially with a close friend, it's always disturbing," said Perkins. "So I just wanted to call and make sure that he was all right as far as mentally and just getting ready. Because it takes a focus to go through that process of surgery and the recovery of it.

Napoleon: Life, Legacy, and Image: A Biography
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From Alan Forrest, a preeminent British scholar, comes an exceedingly readable account of the man and his legend
On a cold December day in 1840 Parisians turned out in force to watch as the body of Napoleon was solemnly carried on a riverboat from Courbevoie on its final journey to the Invalides. The return of their long-dead emperors corpse from the island of St. Helena was a moment that Paris had eagerly awaited, though many feared that the memories stirred would serve to further destabilize a country that had struggled for order and direction since he had been sent into exile.
In this book Alan Forrest tells the remarkable story of how the son of a Corsican attorney became the most powerful man in Europe, a man whose charisma and legacy endured after his lonely death many thousands of miles from the country whose fate had become so entwined with his own.
Along the way, Forrest also cuts away the many layers of myth and counter myth that have grown up around Napoleon, a man who mixed history and legend promiscuously. Drawing on original research and his own distinguished background in French history, Forrest demonstrates that Napoleon was as much a product of his times as their creator.
"As an exemplary military leader and self-crowned emperor, Napoleon capitalized on his mastery of manipulating traditional media, says Forrest, director of the Centre for 18th Century Studies in England: 'He surrounded himself with journalists and spin-doctors long before it became a tradition of politics....' His savvy in trying to establish his image among all sectors of the population is illustrated by the fact that, during his Italian campaign, he simultaneously published both a revolutionary-minded newspaper and one appealing to worried royalists. Forrest glosses over Napoleon's military exploits and legendary romances to highlight the strategically brilliant Corsican's attention to image and legacy. Napoleon attempted to create a political dynasty, rewarding loyalty from three of his four brothers with kingdoms (the fourth received nothing). Surprisingly, Forrest devotes few words to trusted followers or even the influential women in Napoleon's life; he quickly portrays Josephine as a decadent Creole Eva Peron, primarily enchanted by Napoleon's potential for success and wealth, and his sisters and Marie Louise receive scant attention in spite of their contributions to his empire. With his emphasis on the construction of the Napoleonic myth, Forrest offers an introduction to a fascinating figure that should whet readers' appetites for more on this mesmerizing and complex figure — but won't satisfy them. 8 pages of color illus."

I'd actually encourage her to take this up over the violin any day of the week.
Wherein my child resembles her uncle
Before you judge me, remember that the other one I raised was deconstructing Shakespeare at her age and negotiating peace treaties between warring nations.

The European Commission must give due consideration to the latest scientific results on indirect land use change (ILUC) when assessing biofuels' sustainability and come up with a long overdue legislative proposal that gives each feedstock a specific ILUC factor that reflects their real CO2 emissions. This is the message of a letter from BirdLife International, ClientEarth, the European Environmental Bureau, Transport and Environment, Greenpeace and Wetlands International to the European Commission president.
Shipping has become the first industry to agree a global carbon dioxide reduction strategy. This month's vote at the International Maritime Organisation approved the establishment of an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships. T&E welcomed the decision, but says it cannot be seen as a solution on its own, especially because the EEDI will take many years to be truly effective.
The Commission is being taken to court for the third time over an alleged failure to release information regarding the environmental impact of biofuels. The latest action relates to information about voluntary certification schemes that could play a major part in determining which biofuels are judged to be sustainable. T&E says the lawsuit shows that the Commission is failing to comply with EU 'access to information' rules.
