Para naman ninakaw sila ng lupa because of the agarian reform: As we already know there is lots of land owner didn't follow the agarian reform: But, Because Renato Corona, Has been impeach Noynoy and his family nawalan ng lupa!
For: Renato Corona, If you don't have anything to hide let the procusection open all your bank account instead of keep openning your big mounth to the media.
Bakit takot ka humarap, That's is because all the accusation against you is true! If is not then face them head-on.

Aquino should focus on Scarborough shoal! Aquino should let the the Senate do the Job, He should be focusing the problem in Scarborough. Corona is not worth dying, what is worth dying is our Scarborough shoal . China took advabtage because the Philippine government are fighting over corrupt politicians. They should not focus to politicians, they should focus running after the business people who brines the politicians. Philippines should pass the bill that any Corporations or business people who give money to politicians to brifge their business should be death penalty and his company or business institutions should be forfeited. because the origin of root of corruptions not comes from politicians but from Corporate business people, both local and foreign.

Migos Want You to Smoke & Drink 'One Time' on New Song
Fans of Migos are in for a pleasant surprise today, as the group has unleashed the lead single to their 'Y.R.N.: The Album,' 'One Time.'
Fans of Migos are in for a pleasant surprise today, as the group has unleashed the lead single to their 'Y.R.N.: The Album,' 'One Time.'
Just one month after Migos dropped the Gabriel Hart-directed video for 'Wishy Washy,' the Atlanta natives return with visuals for 'Cross the Country,' off their 'Rich N---- Timeline' mixtape.
It's always good to see rappers give back to their local community. However, when Migos donated $1,000 to Atlanta's Booker T. Washington High School, the group received a ton of backlash on social media over the amount.
Although Bobby Shmurda is still in prison, it looks like his collaborative mixtape with Migos, titled 'Shmigo Gang,' will actually see a release. The first two singles from the project were made available: a freestyle from the Atlanta trio and a new track from ATL rap newbie Rich the Kid.
At the top of the year, a photo began circulating the internet that featured Lil Wayne and Migos in the studio. The end result is this head-nodding song called 'Amazing Amy,' produced by hitmaker London on da Track.
Producer Zaytoven has been busier than most heading into 2015. Check out what the Atlanta native has to say about Future's work ethic, Nicki Minaj's early days and Usher's ode to Migos.
Nick Cannon invites the ladies to his pajama party in the video for the aptly-titled track 'Pajama Pants,' off his 'White People Party Music' album.
Which project has your vote for Mixtape of the Year? Vote for the rapper you feel should take home The Boombox Fan Choice Award.
Nerds, boom-bap heads and turn-up gurus, you're all welcome. These are the 10 Best Mixtapes of 2014.
Migos kick off the new year with a brand new video for their latest single, 'Wishy Washy.' The song is an ode to the slang term the Atlanta trio coined, which means the same thing as "Thot."

Tournament Entry News:
Online tournament entry for the 2015 season is now open.
(Note: Thanks to the generosity and flexibility of the members and staff of the Mill River Club, we have been able to shift the dates of the 2015 Long Island Mid-Amateur Championship to Tuesday and Wednesday, September 15 and 16, thus avoiding a conflict with two USGA qualifiers the previous week.)
For photos of the LIGA's 2015 tournament sites, click here.
The Long Island Golf Association's on-line Tournament Entry system is very easy to use: click on the navy blue rectangle immediately above and it will take you to the sign in page. If you do not have a profile already stored in our system, click on the blue line that says "Click here to Register" and create your profile. Log out, log back in and start entering tournaments that you qualify for (if you don't qualify for an event, there won't be a check box for that event on the left of the tournament screen). Of course, if you already have a profile, you can log in immediately (Note: Always keep your profile up-to-date, particularly for mail address, e-mail address, and phone number.). Almost all of our tournaments require amateurs to have an active handicap index from your club or course (the only exceptions are the Junior, Boys and Girls Championships). Make sure your handicap is active before attempting to enter a tournament. Pay particular attention to this issue at the start of the golf season, when clubs/courses may be slow to activate handicaps for the new season.

Sam Cassell RumorsAll NBA Players
Sam Cassell
Position: None
Born: 11/18/69
Height: 6-3 / 1.91
Weight:184 lbs. / 83.9 kg.
Born: 11/18/69
Height: 6-3 / 1.91
Weight:184 lbs. / 83.9 kg.
In five years working under Flip Saunders and Randy Wittman, Cassell was able to see the Wizards rise from league-wide laughingstock to a legitimate playoff contender. Wall and Beal both credited Cassell for helping them improve. Wall ranks second in the league assists and third in steals and Beal has been slowly recovering from a left wrist injury that kept him out the first nine games. "It was great," Cassell said of working with Wall and Beal. "I don't think John had a great playoffs last year. He was solid. He was solid. Like I always tell him, 'John, you're the best decoy we can have.' It's just not him scoring the ball, it's all the other intangible things John Wall brings to the basketball court that's going to make him one of the best guards in this league."
Pierce's move to Washington was the most stunning non-LeBron free agent decision last summer, but it became a source of amusement a few weeks later when the man who helped make it happen was gone. "I couldn't be around for him," Cassell said with a chuckle. Pierce "understood my situation when I explained it to him, my situation. He understood it. Him being a professional … he understood it. Did he get pissed off? I don't think he got pissed off, but he gave me some jabs."
David Aldridge: Was Washington your first choice? I heard all summer you wanted to go home to L.A., to the Clippers. Paul Pierce: Obviously, this is my first time in free agency. I really didn't know where I was going to end up. Truthfully, I thought I was going to end up back in Brooklyn, with Kevin [Garnett]. I told Kevin, if you're not going to retire, then I probably will come back. But when Brooklyn didn't give me an offer, it was like, I talked to him, and I kind of started looking at my options then. I thought I probably would end up with the Clippers with Doc [Rivers], but they wound up signing Spencer Hawes [and using the full mid-level exception] at the time. That's when Sam Cassell gave me a call, shortly after Trevor Ariza signed with Houston. That kind of happened so fast. He signed, and Sam called me, and [asked] what I thought. We both were in Vegas at the time, talking on the phone. Then met him for lunch. Then met him again for dinner. It took some convincing, because I never really thought about Washington. It just wasn't on my radar. But I started thinking about it, and everything he was telling me, based on what they did last year, the guys they have here, he talked about the culture, he talked about Coach [Randy Wittman], Ernie [Grunfeld, the GM], talked to him.
Pierce chose the Wizards this offseason in free agency, only after discussions with then-Wizards assistant coach Sam Cassell and former Wizards forward Al Harrington convinced him that this place was right to continue and possibly finish his Hall of Fame-bound career. "I asked them at first what the guys were like to work with, you know, Bradley and all these guys," Pierce told USA TODAY Sports. "I asked them about the culture, 'Are there good guys in the locker room?' And they kept on saying, 'You're really gonna like these guys. You're really gonna like these guys.' "
The Los Angeles Clippers announced today that the team has added Sam Cassell, Lawrence Frank and Mike Woodson as assistant coaches to the staff of Head Coach and President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers. The trio joins current assistant coaches Armond Hill and Brendan O'Connor as well as assistant player skills coaches JP Clark and Dave Severns on the bench. "We have an impressive and experienced group of coaches who are excited to get to work," Rivers said. "Mike and Lawrence have enjoyed tremendous success as head coaches and Sam is someone who I coached as a player and respected as an assistant with the Wizards. I am excited to continue to work with the entire staff as we prepare for the season."
Arash Markazi: As I reported before the Clippers assistants will be Mike Woodson, Sam Cassell & Lawrence Frank. Clippers were just waiting on Frank buyout.
The Clippers are also close to finalizing their coaching staff. Former New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson joined Rivers' coaching staff, which lost three assistant coaches this offseason, in July. He is expected to be joined by Sam Cassell, who was let out of his contract with the Washington Wizards last month, and Lawrence Frank, who is still under contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
Sam Cassell is leaving the Washington Wizards after five seasons to take an assistant coaching position with the Los Angeles Clippers, people with knowledge of the situation confirmed Saturday. Cassell joined the Wizards as a member of Flip Saunders's staff in 2009, one year after winning a third championship in Boston with Doc Rivers, the current president and coach of the Clippers.
Jared Zwerling: Hearing Sam Cassell will become a Clippers assistant coach. Announcement to come this week. Clippers had been trying to get him (post Lue).
Khem Birch doesn't pay much attention to what's said about him, turning pro after his junior season at UNLV. Assistant coach Sam Cassell, who is running the Wizards' summer league team that plays Saturday vs. the San Antonio Spurs, paid the highest compliment to the undrafted free agent. Cassell said if it were up to him, Birch would be part of the Wizards' 15-man roster to begin the regular season. "Oh really? That's cool," Birch said when told of Cassell 's comments. "A lot of people doubted me, thinking I shouldn't have left early. I know I was ready. Even if I don't make the team it shows that I still have a chance to make it in the league."
Adrian Wojnarowski: Clippers working on arrangement w/ Wizards to hire Sam Cassell for Doc Rivers' coaching staff, but no deal in place yet, sources tell Yahoo.
Michael Lee: Can confirm Paul Pierce deal with #wizards. Hearing his former BOS teammate Sam Cassell played role in helping to convince The Truth to come
Ken Berger: Rivers also pursuing Lawrence Frank (his former assistant in Boston) and Wizards assistant Sam Cassell, source says. Nothing final there.
Michael Lee: Speaking of Baltimore, #wizards assistant Sam Cassell rushed back to his hometown from summer league practice to catch Jay Z & Beyonce
Don Zierden, Sam Cassell and Saunders's son, Ryan, were all brought to the organization as part of Saunder's coaching staff in Washington. A person with knowledge of the situation said Saunders has yet to contact the Wizards about hiring any of them, but the team "wouldn't be surprised" if he called. Saunders already brought former Wizards executive Milt Newton to Minnesota as general manager.
Everybody was complaining that the scoring was low, but what the hell you expect?" said Sam Cassell, a rookie guard for that Rockets team and now an assistant coach for the Washington Wizards. "You had the two best defensive teams in basketball going at each other." Appointment television? More like disappointment television. Then, just as the series arrived at its tipping point, a white Ford Bronco cruised into America's living rooms and captivated the nation. "I couldn't believe it was happening to us," said David Stern, who had escorted Olajuwon and Ewing into the NBA with the first two No. 1 draft picks of his 30-year reign as commissioner. "It was just surreal."
Sam Cassell has something in common with John Mayer — they both bought expensive watches from the same guy … a guy accused of selling FAKES … and now the former NBA star tells TMZ Sports he's bringing in experts to see if he got ripped off. We broke the story … Mayer is suing Charlie Sheen's BFF Robert Maron — claiming he bought $5 million worth of Rolex watches from the guy … some of which turned out NOT to be 100% authentic. Cassell tells TMZ Sports he also bought a watch from Maron — "It's an A. Lange & Sohne. It cost me a nice piece of change."
And this week, at last, I got my chance. Seeing the Washington Wizards these days usually means, first and foremost, that you're there to check out the fast-blossoming Bradley Beal, but my mission was finding out how Cassell feels about the $15,000 fines this month dished out to Brooklyn's Andray Blatche and Milwaukee's Caron Butler. "Obscene gesture?" Cassell bellowed, shaking his head disapprovingly.
Otto Porter hit his first two shots of the Washington Wizards' Summer League opener against the Golden State Warriors … and then hit one of his last 13, often disappearing from the offense in an ugly 56-52 loss. Afterwards, multiple people with the Wizards noted that they wanted to see him find ways to be more aggressive. "He's got to be more assertive. He's got to find some of his own offense sometimes on the court. I could run plays for him, get him shots. But if those don't work, now what?" Wizards summer league coach Sam Cassell said. "There are things he's got to do himself. He did it at Georgetown, and he can do it here."
Belinelli hit a three-pointer with 4:52 left in the game, giving the Bulls a 91-81 lead. After he made the shot and Brooklyn called timeout, Belinelli headed back to the Bulls bench doing the "Sam Cassell dance," a move made famous by the former NBA guard and frowned upon by the league.
The ever-brash Cassell broke into the league more than a decade before Livingston and played extrovert to Livingston's introvert. They once shared the court in a game against Utah. Livingston took the ball out of bounds and nearly drew a five-second violation before signaling for a timeout. "I ripped into his ass," said Cassell, now an assistant with Washington. "He didn't speak to me for a couple of days because of the tone. I verbally went at him. I told him, 'I'm not going to be wide open with eight seconds left in a game. You've got to get the ball to me.' He took it personally. He didn't speak to me, but I didn't care. I've seen the change right there in him: getting guys in the right position, running the offense, not having to rely on me to bring the ball up when guys are on him. I just saw him start to take off from there."
The Shooting Stars competition involves an NBA play, a WNBA player and a retired player shooting from various locations on the court. Team Bosh: Chris Bosh, Dominique Wilkins, Swin Cash Team Lopez: Brook Lopez, Muggsy Bogues, Tamika Catchings Team Harden: James Harden, Sam Cassell, Tina Thompson Team Westbrook: Russell Westbrook, Robert Horry, Maya Moore
Sam Cassell (Assistant coach, Washington Wizards; recruited to Florida State by Williamson): I was playing at a junior college, San Jacinto. He came down there and our coach at the time had what he called talking time, a talk period where D-1 coaches could talk to you. Eggman came down and coach told him, '15 minutes, Kenny.' He said, 'boy, you can come to Florida State.' I didn't know anything about Florida State basketball. You couldn't tell me what conference they was in. But he said 'you coming to Florida State. I've got a situation that's perfect for you.' I said, 'if I do come to Florida State, what would be my role?' He said, 'how many points do you score now?' I said about 22, 23 a game. And he said 'I want you to try average 22 points at Florida State. And we're moving to the ACC next year. And you can play on Tobacco Road for eight games.' That did it for me. I didn't tell him that, but that did it.

English PEN provides creative writing and free speech learning opportunities for young people.
For example, thanks to support from the EU Commission, in 2014 we ran a year-long project about citizenship and identity, working with schools in England and Europe and community youth groups in London, Manchester and Dublin, including the London Gypsy and Traveller Unit and the Joyce Layland LGBT Centre in Manchester. The project involved creative writing workshops, talks at school assemblies and letter writing exchanges and culminated in a celebration event held at Europe House in London, hosted by Nick Revell and featuring other European comedians Marcel Lucont and Matthew Perret and spoken-word artists Avaes Mohammed and Joelle Taylor. There were also poetry performances by some of the young people who took part in the project from ARK Globe Academy and NewVIc (Newham Sixth Form College).

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 5/10/13
Chris Bosh chewed out teammate Mario Chalmers late in the third quarter of Game 3 between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, much to Joakim Noah's delight. The discord between Bosh and Chalmers seemed to begin after Chalmers turned over the ball on offense. Chalmers was trying to drive the lane and then looked to pass when he encountered multiple defenders. He turned it over on an errant pass in Bosh's direction. On the next possession, Jimmy Butler backed down Chalmers and dished to Taj Gibson for a layup and foul. Before Gibson went to the line, Bosh lit into Chalmers. Noah came over after a few seconds and gave a bunch of claps, clearly pleased that the Heat teammates were bickering. GIF via @CJZero Video via @BlazersEdge

Le French Book Announces Sequel to The Greenland Breach
New York, New York
Spy novel lovers will be happy to hear that mystery and thriller publisher Le French Book just inked a deal for the sequel to The Greenland Breach, which is in bookstores now. Whether it's climate change or the economic battle for control of rare earth elements, former top intelligence officer and award-winning thriller writer Bernard Besson knows how to set an entertaining, action-packed espionage story on the backdrop of today's geopolitical landscape.
In this new novel, his Paris-based team of independent operatives get drawn into a world of high-speed trading, international corruption, and the battle for control of rare earth elements, which are key to modern technology. Besson's takes readers from Paris to Malaysia and into the dark, violent corners of today's geopolitics.
Besson has authored nine thrillers in French, and the first novel to be published in English, The Greenland Breach, came out recently and has been doing well, according to publisher Anne Trager. It is a stylish cli-fi spy novel with environmental catastrophe, geopolitical fallout, freelance spies and Bond-like action. "We are excited to start working on this new translation," Trager says.
For Bernard Besson, a specialist in economic intelligence with a long career in French intelligence and law enforcement, spy novels are an entertaining way to tell truths about operatives who risk their lives for their country, often without any recognition. "It's fiction, but the geostrategic stakes and the way the players think and act is all pulled from reality."
And he does it well. "Besson constructs a complex plot and confidently portrays the grandiosity as it unfolds," says to Publishers Weekly. For Cosmopolitan, his first novel was both "Original and harrowing."

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell: Proud of how the offense stepped up in fourth quarter
Arizona State caught a break in Saturday's 32-30 victory over Wisconsin, but lost amidst the controversial finish was the Sun Devils' ability to move the football over the final 15 minutes of play against the reigning Big Ten champions.
Through the first three quarters of play, ASU's offense looked like a shell of the unit that dismantled Sacramento State to the tune of 55-0 nine days earlier.
There were several badly thrown balls -- including an early third quarter interception in Wisconsin territory -- by quarterback Taylor Kelly, a handful of dropped passes by the receiving corps and a lack of production (2.9 yards per carry) outside of Marion Grice in the backfield.
Simply put, it was ugly offensive football.
"I think we looked back at the game when we were done, and we probably had four balls that were overthrown, four balls that weren't on point in the first half, first three quarters," ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday. "I think we had six or seven drops in the game. Any time you miss 10-plus opportunities, that is going to hurt you a little bit."
It definitely hurt, as the Sun Devils found themselves trailing 21-19 into the fourth quarter, but Kelly and Co. found their groove when it mattered most.
In the fourth quarter, the junior quarterback led two touchdown drives and completed seven of his 12 passes for 127 yards.
The recipient on four of those seven completions was sophomore wideout Jaelen Strong, who led the way with 104 yards receiving in just his second collegiate game.
"Taylor is a tremendous competitor, and our receivers stepped up big time at the end of the game," said Norvell. "That's what you want to see in your football team. When it gets down to crunch time at the end of the game, they stepped up to make plays to win it."
While the journey was bumpy to say the least, Norvell admitted he wasn't all that surprised about the end result.
"I talk to our guys all the time that we have to win the fourth quarter," said Norvell. "That's something I know being with these guys over the last year-and-a-half, and I told them yesterday, I know how we're going to play in the fourth. That's when those guys shine, and I was very proud of how they did that."
In the victory, ASU became just the third opponent to amass over 400 yards against Wisconsin's defense since the start of the 2012 season.

Changes in Immunological and Hematological Parameters of Female Residents Exposed to Volatile Organic Compounds in the City of Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Jeng, Hueiwang Anna, Lee, I-Long, Gau, Yang-Yen, Yang, Ching-Tzu, Lin, Chitsan, Hong, Yu-Jue, Journal of Environmental Health
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a mixture of various kinds of polycyclic aromatic, aliphatic, alicyclic, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Major constituents include benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, naphthalene, pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene, butane, octane, hexane, and trichloroethylene. The growing number of automobiles has contributed to significant emissions of VOCs from automobile exhaust into the ambient air, especially in urban areas (Chen, Lai, & Ho, 2003; Hsieh, Chang, & Kao, 1999). Some researchers have found that the concentration of VOCs in ambient air has been highly correlated with traffic density (Bahrami, 2001).
Animal studies have confirmed a dysfunction of the immune system as a result of high VOC exposure (Robinson, Shah, Wong, & Farris, 1997; Farris, Robinson, Wong, Hahn, & Shan, 1997; Snyder & Valle, 1991; Aoyama, 1986). As for humans, some studies on benzene-induced effects have shown adverse immune functions, including alterations of serum immunoglobulins (Dimitrova, Kostadinova, Marinova, Popov, & Panev, 2005), development of antibodies (Dimitrova et al.), and decreased T-lymphocyte numbers (Moszczynsky & Lisiewicz, 1984). These studies have mainly focused on occupational exposure to workers. To date, however, there have been only a limited number of studies on biomonitoring of human populations exposed to VOCs from automobile exhaust.
Completed blood count values have been used to assess health effects from volatile pollutant exposure. In most previous studies, investigators have reported positive associations between hematological changes in workers and children and VOC exposure (Lee, Yoo, Lee, Kim, & Kim, 2002; Georgieva, Lukanova, Panev, & Popov, 1998; Shaham, Levi, Gurvich, Shain, & Ribak, 2000). However, no such association has been observed in other studies (Collins, Ireland, Easterday, Nair, & Braun, 1997). So far, most studies have emphasized the effects of VOCs on human health through occupational exposure. Furthermore, studied subjects have consisted mainly of men and children (Georgieva et al., 1998; Lee et al., 2002).
Many residents in Taiwan live adjacent to major roadways. Traffic on these primary arteries has become more congested because of the increasing number of motor vehicles in use and the volume of traffic. Policy makers and scientists have recognized the importance of assessing the potential impact of air pollutants from automobile emissions on human health. During the past decades, several investigators conducted studies on this matter; however, most studies mainly focused on the impact on respiratory and cardiovascular systems (Yang et al., 2002; Xu, Dockery, & Wan, 1991). At the time of those studies, limited data were available related to VOCs associated with immunological and hematological parameters of residents, particularly female individuals.
Overall, the aim of the study reported here was to determine whether there were any significant adverse immunological and hematological health outcomes for female residents who were environmentally exposed to VOCs from automobile emissions. Particular objectives were to 1) assess the distribution of VOCs in selected study areas, 2) measure levels of certain immunological and hematological parameters in the female population, and 3) conduct statistical analysis to determine possible association between immunological and hematological outcomes and VOC concentrations.
Materials and Methods
Study Area
Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan, is located in the southern region of the island with an area of 153.6 [km.sup.2] and a population of 1.49 million divided into 12 districts. Sen-Ming District was chosen as the study area because of its high population density, lack of industry pollution sources, and the intersection of the Zhong-Shan freeway. This freeway was built in 1978 and is the only freeway that connects the city of Keelung (in the north of Taiwan) with Kaohsiung. …

Hillsborough: A few individuals have shown what integrity means
The independent report on Hillsborough demonstrated that only those outside the usual authorities persisted in getting to the truth
'I felt a sense for the first time," wrote a man called Adrian Tempany after the publication of the independent panel's report into the Hillsborough disaster, "that this tragedy was no longer mine – it belongs now to the nation". Tempany was one of those who survived the human crush in Pen 3 of the Sheffield football stadium that day so long ago in 1989. Many of the 96 died in front of him.
"Unable to move for over half an hour, I was condemned to watch them cry for help, throw up, plead for their lives and die," he wrote. "A heap of corpses piled up in front of me." Over 700 others were injured. Thousands more were scarred emotionally to this day.
Yet in the face of such horror the authorities of the British state failed, egregiously and comprehensively, at level after level after level. When the truth finally emerged – like the sweet silver song of the lark, as the Poet Laureate masterfully borrowed from Liverpool Football Club's anthem – it did so because a small group of activists, burning with a sense of injustice, refused to give up.
The driving motor was the bereaved families, but others were at work, too. One was the academic criminologist Phil Scraton, who spent decade after decade diligently compiling the detailed evidence that has so shocked the nation in recent days. In that time he has produced two major reports and a book painstakingly cataloguing the incident itself, the scurrilous allegations made by the police in the days that followed and the appalling treatment of the bereaved by the political and legal establishment in the years since.
Another was the playwright Jimmy McGovern, whose investigations so frightened the police that he was tailed constantly as he prepared his documentary-drama Hillsborough. Seven years after the disaster, it reawakened the nation to the scandal which had never gone away in Liverpool, a city where solidarity has survived better than in the rest of post-Thatcher Britain. Another was James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, who oversaw the panel that tirelessly processed almost half a million official documents relating to the disaster with self-evident impartiality and pastoral commitment to his people.
In Parliament last week, the Prime Minister apologised for what he called the "double injustice" of Hillsborough. But the truth is that the injustice done was ten- or twelvefold. Police, ambulance services, football authorities, stadium owner, local council, coroner, prosecuting authorities, two judges and politicians all failed and failed again. Civil, criminal and European law all fell short. Some in authority were not just defective but deliberately obstructive.
So why did state apparatus so totally miscarry? And why has an independent panel been able to turn up the truth? Its chairman has said that panels like his are not just faster and cheaper than judge-led inquiries. They can be far more considerate of victims' needs because they start in a different place.
For James Jones, it started every morning with the photograph he kept on his desk of the stadium at 2.59pm on the day of the disaster, alongside the names of the 96 who died. Judicial processes, he says, tend to distance those most affected. "People with power are often patronising to victims. A culture of blame, liability and litigation conspires against getting to the truth. They certainly conspire against enabling the victim to feel their needs and grief are being respected."
The inability, or reluctance, to begin with people rather than processes and the institutional protection of privilege, is part of what has led to the great decline of trust in Britain today. Hillsborough has focused on the police and the courts. But the same thing has happened with greedy bankers, self-serving politicians and unethical journalists. Yet the Church of England retains a lot of confidence among local communities. "It does not run the risk so much of its people being seen to be on the make," as the bishop put it.
It was that local authenticity and integrity which explains why a handful of concerned citizens succeeded over Hillsborough where the great organs of the British state so lamentably failed. What particularly annoys activists in Liverpool is that many of the facts which drew sharp intakes of breath from MPs last week in the Commons had been in the public domain for years, through Scraton's research and McGovern's drama. The local MP, Andy Burnham, had disclosed the same details of senior policemen ordering the doctoring of the notes of ordinary officers in the Commons a year ago. No one listened.
But the panel's scrutiny of 450,000 documents from over 80 organisations added the detail that made the assertions of bereaved relatives incontrovertible. It also offered new revelations about the ambulance service, and proved that the coroner's 3.15pm cut-off was wrong. It disclosed that many in authority knew beforehand that the stadium was not safe, and showed how the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire used the Police Federation to disseminate untruths.
For years, the establishment sneered that McGovern and Scraton were conspiracy theorists. Now we know that there was indeed a conspiracy, one that may prove to be criminal. We know, not thanks to officials, who see themselves as masters rather than servants of the public. We know, because a bunch of individuals would not take No for an answer. Through them, we have discovered, as the survivor Adrian Tempany put it, how systemically justice can be corrupted – and been reminded that right can triumph over might.

**Disclaimer** if I've rated you highly, I probably think we'd be a good match, or at the very least I think you're attractive in a full person sense. I'm usually not one to email matches who I suspect won't feel the same. A little passive-aggressive? Sure. But I also know that women on this site get inundated with emails from guys, and I think it helps to keep one's expectations of online dating within some happy parameters.
I'm mature, educated and masculine and am ready to meet a dynamite woman who can keep up with my wit, tolerate my occasional stubbornness, and keep my ego in check. I'm supportive and nurturing to the things that make my partner happy and fulfilled and expect the same. I feel a lot younger than I am, but I'm a lot smarter than I was then...
Texting is fun, not serious. If becomes serious its a serious problem. Seriously.
In the short run I could be diverted into some temporary fun, but in the long run I am looking for a committed relationship. That said, I've been around the block and know that such relationships are best not rushed and there is a lot of fun and exploration first. So mostly I am looking to meet new people casually and allow good things to happen if the chemistry is right.

Put the tuna steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to a ½ inch thickness with a heavy pan or the flat side of a meat pounder. Put the tuna steaks in a Ziploc plastic bag with the 2/3 cup of olive oil and the rosemary and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. Trim the stems and about 1 inch of the top of the fennel bulbs. Thinly shave the fennel into 1/8-inch thick half-moon shapes. Discard the core, dark green parts, and tough root end or outer layers of the bulb. You should end up with about 2 cups of fennel strips. Segment the oranges into supremes, working over a bowl to catch the juice. To segment the oranges, slice off about 1/2-inch from the top and bottom of the oranges. Working with one orange at a time, stand an orange on end and cut downward all around, cutting just beneath the white pith down to the flesh to remove the entire rind in strips. Steady the orange and remove one segment at a time by running the knife in a V shape as close to each side of each membrane as possible, releasing each segment into a bowl. Squeeze the remaining accordion-like "skeleton" of membrane to extract the juice. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the orange juice, pour it into the bowl and discard the rest. Gradually whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil into the juice in a slow, steady stream until blended. Taste and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the fennel, parsley and oranges, taste, and season again with salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Coat a pan with a 1-2 Tbsp olive oil, depending on the size of the pan, and heat over medium-high heat. Lightly season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature until the pan heats up. When the pan is hot, grill the tuna steaks on one side only, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a wide metal spatula to flip the tuna steaks onto plates so that the grilled side is up. Arrange the salad over the tuna steaks, drizzling some of the vinaigrette on top. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish and serve. Makes 4 servings.Recipe and image used with permission and courtesy of Wusthof. All rights reserved.

- reply to this commentAnonymous (5/2015)
- ? I'm interested in doing a solo cover. Would I need to bring an instrumental track or a musician or could I do it a cappella? Also, is there a specific genre most people do here or could it be just a popular pop or r&b song?
- reply to this commentChrissy (7/2014)
- ? are there at least 2 or more amps available to use, how about the drum situation?
- reply to this commenttom stingone (4/2014)
- What I do like about this open mic is that there's a relatively low key, low pressure vibe to it, all within a live music scene. The sound is generally of good quality, the talent eclectic, and originals are as welcome as cover material which you can't say for every open mic. Though I rotate my open mic schedule for variety's sake, I will eventually circle back to Gnarly at some point in the near future.

By Chris Kawalek-Oracle on Oct 03, 2014
Oracle OpenWorld 2014 has wrapped up and we want to sincerely thank everyone who came to our sessions and hands on labs, stopped by the booths, and interacted with the Oracle Linux team at the show. It's always amazing to get to spend time directly with the users of our products at Oracle OpenWorld, and we look forward to another great experience in 2015!
I wanted to point out that Honglin Su has a great blog about over in the Virtualization Friday Spotlight on Intel's Next Generation Firewall for Oracle VM. And of course, Oracle VM is built on Oracle Linux!
I'll leave you with a few pictures from the show, and then in our upcoming blogs we'll go into more detail about new and interesting things that happened here. Safe travels back home, everyone!

Stunning sofa!
Love this sofa and the color. Its rich and fancy. Just be aware that it is BIG!Read More
Where do I start?? I titled the review as a HOME RUN because I feel I got the best deal in furniture I ever got. This sofa is hands down an amazing value because at the price I paid it is incredible quality, great design. The sofa is large, no doubt about it and that is the reason I bought it. It is quite deep but that is what I was looking for. My kids, dogs and I love lounging, eating, having fun while we watch TV and this sofa serves that PERFECTLY. It is deep enough that you can pass out while watching TV comfortably. I got the gray one and it seems to be great with stains, none so far!! It has a beautiful finish on the legs and the buttons on the back pillows are very very high quality and well done. Have no doubt on this one. If this company continues to make this kind of quality, you have nothing to worry and wil have a sofa for a long time!!!Read More
A true quality sofa
I got the sofa about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Delivery was a challenge but it was not really the delivery guys fault. The main problem is that I live in a condo and the access is limited and this is a big sofa. I mean BIG. So far it has served the purpose perfectly because I wanted a sofa that could make a statament in the living room and I got that. I also wanted to have a sofa that friends could sleep in and I got that too. Just remove the back pillows and the area to sleep are extremely generous even for large people. Comfort is excellent, I mean, excellent! thank youRead More
Gorgeous couch! Definitely designer quality!!
I have to admit, I was definitely leary about buying a couch online without seeing it first in person! I just received the couch today and I can say I'm THRILLED with this couch!! I purchased the charcoal couch and wasn't sure of the exact color until received....it is very true to its color, with the two pillows in front being somewhat iridescent which completes/enhances the whole couch! The craftsmanship of the couch is amazing and very much shows the cost of the couch! You will NOT be disappointed. I was looking for a Candice Olson type couch and this is exactly that! One thing to note is if you're considering to buy, pull out a measuring tape and lay it on the area you're wanting to put the couch at as it is VERY long and wide. For us it was perfect as it's in our first initial room in our house with open ceilings so it takes our whole wall and comes out into the opening which is perfect and is very glamorous. The only watch out is putting on the feet of the couch as some of the holes aren't drilled and the screws aren't long enough so you'll need someone handy (as I had with my hubby) to get them attached without causing a problem in the frame. All and all, this couch is AMAZING and is worth every dollar!!!!!Read More
Comfortable and stylish
Great looking sofa and VERY comfortable. Adds great style to my family room. The extra deep seating is something I always prefer, but may not be for everyone. The color has a slight deep olive green tone to it in certain lighting. I was not expecting that, as it looks gray/silver in the photo. Still very happy with the purchase.Read More
Comfortable Sofa, great color!
This sofa is huge! My family begged for a sofa that was comfortable and soft. I liked the style and color because it coordinated well with our neutral tones and grey color scheme. The fabric does "catch" lint and threads, but it nice quality and again, the charcoal grey color was perfect. The quality is good. It is not what I would consider high end, but definitely good for a family room with high traffic.Read More
Questions & Answers
I wanted an oversized velvet sofa, but what made me buy it was the reviews.
Are the seat and back cushions reversible?
Hello calimoe58, yes, the seat cushions are fully reversible. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
how can i obtain a swatch for the gray velvet option?
Hello janelk, i am sorry however we don't have swatches to send out. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hello janelk, Unfortunately we do not send out swatches. Thank you for shopping with us!
Is this gray velvet fabric the same as used on the South Beach Sofa's Gray Pewter?
Hello, jansd. Yes, we have confirmed with our support team that the two sofas use the same fabric. Thank you for shopping with us!
How deep is the seat itslef from front to back and the height of the seat from the floor for a 5'5" person?
Hi teddie1, thank you for your inquiry. We apologize for the delay. We are trying to confirm this information with our support team and it is taking a lot longer than we expected. We will post an answer as soon as one is available. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Thank you for your patience.
Floor to top of seating area is 19 inches. With pillows on the sofa, the seating area is 26 inches deep. I'm 5'8 and the back of my knees just touch when sitting on this sofa. If you are 5'5, your back will not touch the first layer of pillows when seated most likely. This sofa is huge! I have an additional layer of pillows in front of what you see and there is still room to sit comfortably. Even a 6 foot plus person can lay down and sleep on this one without touching the ends. I have a huge family room with 16 foot ceilings. This sofa looks normal sized. If your room is average to small, however, it will look gigantic. Hope this helps!
can the legs be removed from the sofa? if so, what is the height without legs? I am trying to get sofa through a 32" doorway; thanx
Hello maxwes, Thank you for inquiring about the Berlin Velvet Sofa. The legs screw off, which would make it a few inches shorter. 36 high x 98 wide x 48 deep. Thank you for shopping with us.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Photoshop CS6 One-on-One: Fundamentals is a concise and focused introduction to the key features in Photoshop, presented by long-time lynda.com author and Adobe veteran Deke McClelland. This course covers the image editing process from the very beginning and progresses through the concepts and techniques that every photographer or graphic designer should know. Deke explains digital imaging fundamentals, such as resolution vs. size and the effects of downsampling. He explains how to use layers to edit an image nondestructively and organize those edits in an easy-to-read way, and introduces techniques such as cropping, adjusting brightness and contrast, correcting and changing color, and retouching and healing images. These lessons distill the vast assortment of tools and options to a refined set of skills that will get you working inside Photoshop with confidence.
In this movie, I'll show you how to create a quick-and-dirty sepia tone effect using a Hue/Saturation function that we haven't seen so far. I'm looking at that final version of the photograph that I created using Camera Raw. I'm going to start things off by bringing up the Adjustments panel and clicking on the Hue/Saturation icon to bring up the Hue/Saturation controls in the Properties panel. Notice this check box right there, Colorize; it does exactly what it says. Turn it on, and you will infuse the image with the color that you described using Hue and Saturation.
So if you want a highly saturated image, you would crank that Saturation value way up. Of course you wouldn't go nearly that far. If you want a low Saturation image which is more likely, you would take the value down. I'm going to take the Saturation to 20. The bigger question is, what do you set the Hue value to? Well now the Hue value is absolute. So in other words, 0 is absolutely red. If you want to look up a color, you can grab that Hue locator.psd file once again.
I'm going to close my Properties panel for a moment. Then just select a color from the list. Now sepia is going to fall somewhere around the orange range. I'm looking for a kind of amber color, a little bit of yellow-infused orange. So I'm going to go with a Hue value of 40%. So I'll switch back to my image at hand, double-click on the thumbnail for the Hue/Saturation layer to bring up the Properties panel. Then I'll click inside the Hue value and press Shift+Up arrow four times in a row in order to get the sepia effect here.
But of course, you can select something different if you like. You could back off the value for more of an orange effect, you could increase the value for more of a yellow effect or what have you; 40 is what I'm looking for. Now if you ask me, a true sepia tone should look a little bolder where the luminance levels are concerned. So I'm going to return to the Adjustments panel and click on the Brightness/Contrast icon to add a Brightness/Contrast layer. I'm going to start by taking my Brightness value down by clicking in that first field and pressing Shift+Down arrow three times in a row.
And then, I'll tab to the Contrast value, and I'm going to press Shift+Up arrow six times in a row in order to increase that contrast until I arrive at this final effect here. And then I'll press the F key a couple of times in order to fill the screen with the image, just to give you a sense for the before and after. I'll press the F12 key in order to revert the image, that's the full color image as it appeared after we remove the color cast. Then if I press Ctrl+C or Command+C on the Mac, that's our bold high contrast sepia tone, created using a very basic combination of Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast adjustment layers here inside Photoshop.
