In the midst of the high-octane legal battle between the two Ambani brothers over gas supply from KG-D6 fields, the Planning Commission said on Thursday that it is not concerned about the outcome of the dispute, but only wanted to promote the use of the fuel for the power and fertilizer sectors.

Gas dispute case: RNRL versus Reliance
Oil Ministry stand will erode investor confidence: Anil Ambani
"As far as we are concerned, the entire gas is available to the country. It will be used for power and fertilizer sectors in the country. As the production (of gas) goes up, I am sure the utilisation (of gas) will also go up," he told reporters on sidelines of a CII event.
Anil Ambani's emotional speech at RNRL AGM
As per the memorandum of understanding between RIL and RNRL, RNRL was to get 28 million standard cubic meters per day of gas from KG-D6 at $2.34 per mmBtu, a price 44 per cent lower than the government-fixed rates.
The rest of the volumes from KG-D6 and other RIL fields (after giving 12 mmscmd to NTPC), was to be split between the Mukesh and Anil in 60:40 ratio.

Buster Posey speaks out against threats
Updated: June 4, 2011, 4:53 PM ETAssociated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Posey doesn't support any of the threats made toward Scott Cousins, the Florida Marlins player who ended the San Francisco Giants catcher's season in a collision at home plate May 25.
"I appreciate the continued support of Giants fans and others as I begin the process of working my way back," Posey said in a statement Saturday. "But in no way do I condone threats of any kind against Scott Cousins or his family.

Aamir Khan In Corduroy Jeans
Aamir Khan once again snapped in a young trendy youthful Corduroy Jeans style accompained with white t-shirt. If you thought vanity is a female preoccupation, think again. Bollywood's macho population is just as obsessed with fashion as the leading lady in tow.
Be it glittery shirts, neon shoes or colored jeans, you got it. Gone are the days when our heroes refused to look beyond shades of black, blue, and khaki or at the most, white, when it came to trousers. Here's a lowdown on the latest trend of Neon Green Jeans currently endorsed by the biggest and best of tinsel town.

Last week a pickup almost ran me off the highway. The driver sped past until his truck bed paralleled my hood. Then with no pause, he lurched into my lane! I'll call him Mr. Chevy.
No blinker. No wave. No kidding. Just here I come to squash the little Prius! Mr. Chevy came close to doing it.
If fact, if I hadn't slammed my brakes, the monster truck would have sideswiped me at 65 M.P.H. and sent me careening off a bridge like Evel Knievel vaulting over Snake River.
Okay, sure, rather than call Mr. Chevy a "narcissist" (that's one way to paraphrase what I screamed—a mere ten minutes after my quiet time), I guess I should have given him the benefit of the doubt. After all, he may have been racing to the hospital or the grocery store or something.
It's one thing to deal with unscrupulous drivers on the highway. They surprise us yet seldom shock us. But dealing with this behavior from someone on our own team, where we all should look out for the benefit of others, can do more than anger us.
It should force us to ask ourselves a question.

Based on recorded witness testimony from real-life survivors, City of Life and Death is a stunning depiction of the Rape of Nanking, meticulously recreating the infamous reign of terror conducted by the occupying Japanese army in the Chinese capital in 1937.
A tough but must watch. A very well made film and sensitive of the topics being portrayed.
It might be a great movie, but it is so disturbing that makes me think it must have taken a serious sadistic drive to make it
"Life is more difficult than death."
An utterly beautiful and devastating film about the Rape of Nanking. I have seen it compared to "Schindler's List", and there simply is no comparison. This is an immeasurably better film. In fact, it's probably the best film I never want to see again.
"The responsibility of handling such an important and politically sensitive event might cause a lesser filmmaker to play it safe, and to some extent, the multiple storylines do seem imported from war movies past. But ... Lu wriggles out of convention where he can ... and engages with history as an artist, not a hagiographer." - Scott Tobias, AV Club. "Life is more difficult than death." - Kadokawa
It´s one of the best war movies ever made. Don´t stick with the Schindler´s List comparison, this is much more rough, violent, visceral. This is not Hollywood. And what the war is? That´s why I like this kind of cinema´s masterpiece. It makes me think how rough the world was, is, and will be. And let´s pray for a brighter day, to all of us. Because, in the very end, all we can do is pray.
The use of black and white and the remove we feel toward many of the characters is necessary in this disturbing film so we don't turn away from the screen in horror, with all the up close and personal murders taking place. I wanted to know more about some of the characters, especially the Nazi sympathizer Mr. Rabe and his Chinese secretary.
The pinnacle of contemporary Asian cinema. A touching and compelling vision of a horror the west often forgets shot in stunning black and white cinematography. This breaks the mold of typical Nanjing films by portraying the Japanese characters (particularly Kadokawa) as multifaceted humans rather than purely anti-Chinese monsters like many Mandarin films on the subject tend to.
Mubi compares this to Spielberg's Schindler's List but its far closer to Saving Private Ryan. Gorgeous black and white cinematography gives even the most appalling sequences a strange almost etheral beauty. Harrowing, tragic. Not an easy to film to watch but a film that should be watched.
Phenomenal in its depiction of the brutality of war.
I think we understand that the real thing was very brutal. I don't need to see that to get an understanding of what went on. It was delicate balance that this film achieved. A very brave film which should be applauded.
A testament to the depths of depravity humans can devolve into and to the heights of nobility others can attain. A powerful movie. Visually stunning.
I love the black and white shooting that adds more drama to the story. The Japanese private character is the only human among dehumanized soldiers giving hope that there is some feeling in worst butchers.
a movie that expresses this face http://hkmdb.com/db/images/movies/12677/CityofLifeandDeath+2009-8-b.jpg
Incredible picture on all levels from director Lu Chuan who gives a masterful take on the Rape of Nanking. Lu is one of the best directors to emerge in the last fifteen years from China but the growth from his two first features (Missing Gun and Kekexili) is staggering. Cinematography by Cao Yu is breathtaking and the performances captured are genuine and exacting. One can only be left breathless by the images.
The best (anti) war film of the past decade, it's shockingly brutal impact is akin to that of the brilliant 1985 effort from Russia "Come and See." Gorgeously shot with a great turn from the beautiful Gao Yuanyuan, Lu Chuan is definitely one of the more interesting director's coming out of the mainland China.
Harrowing. Brutal. Brilliant.
the cinematography is just too good i can't believe my own eyes.
The movie was expertly crafted and leaves a haunting impression; however, in comparison to first-hand accounts of the Rape of Nanjing, it was extremely tame in its depiction of the massacre, and at times a bit too sympathetic to the Japanese. That being said, the film's depiction of the violence still isn't for the easily disturbed.
Incredible story based on true events. Most profound War story I have seen in a long time. The action and audio of combat is TOO real. Surprisingly even handed treatment of the things soldiers do in war. The black and white is lucious. This is a superior film from the people's republic.
Good story from one of the darkest history of China,should have been better. Cinematography is beautiful in black and white. Performances is kinda standard. The movie itself is the power
A shocking indictment of the Japanese past and a shocking indictment of human beings in general this brutal telling of the Nanking massacres and invasion is an incredibly impressive third feature by Lu Chuan. Beautifully filmed, viscerally captured and astonishingly evocative this is a kick to the guts and a punch in the face for filmgoers. Outstanding filmmaking.

(NASDAQ: GOOG) ("Google"). Approximately 99 percent of the shares voting at today's Special Meeting of Stockholders voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, which represented approximately 74 percent of Motorola Mobility's total outstanding shares of common stock as of the October 11, 2011 record date for the Special Meeting.Sanjay Jha, chairman and CEO of Motorola Mobility, said, "We are pleased and gratified by the strong support we have received from our stockholders, with more than 99 percent of the voting shares voting in support of the transaction.

The Company previously disclosed that it expected the merger to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012.

Yes, it's hot for Seattle. Real damn hot. Record hot, maybe. And the Seattle Times, predictably, can't get enough of it. We're not pointing fingers here: Such flood-the-zone weather coverage has been a club in many a daily's bag for decades, if not centuries. The local network affiliates' hands are even sweatier, and the mayor's ordered the code red as well.
But as someone who lived in Missouri for nearly four years, allow me to put this in perspective: In St. Louis, home of Cardinal teddies worn by Samantha from Who's the Boss, you know what they call the sort of weather everyone's going apeshit over now? They call it July. Now go about your lives as though everything's fine and the sun is shining. Because it is.

The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on orientation toward work. Among the issues investigated were current employment status, sources of support if not employed, techniques used to find employment, provisions made for retirement income, and characteristics of current/last job, such as industry and size of firm, number of hours worked per week during the last month, and total number of years worked. In addition, the survey gauged job satisfaction and attitudes toward work. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.

The Wrong Kind of Education Reform
Three new books decimate the case for charter schools and vouchers.
The case for market-driven reforms in education rests on two key premises: The public school system is in crisis, and the solution is to let the market pick winners and losers. Market strategies—high-stakes teacher accountability, merit pay, shuttering "failing" schools—are believed to be essential if public schools are ever going to get better. And these maxims underlie the commitment to charter schools and vouchers. Freed from the dead hand of bureaucracy and the debilitating effects of school board politics, the argument runs, schools are free to innovate.
If you follow education debates, you've heard that again and again. Here's what's new: A spate of new books undercuts both propositions, simply decimating the argument for privatizing education.
Since The Death and Life of the Great American School System, her 2010 best-seller, Diane Ravitch has been the most prominent critic of the market-minded reformers. Americans love apostates, and the fact that, as assistant secretary of education in the first Bush administration, Ravitch acknowledged that she had "fallen for the latest panaceas and miracle cures and drunk deeply of the elixir that promised a quick fix," has given her considerable credibility. Now she pops up everywhere, keynoting national conventions, urging on teachers at an Occupy the Department of Education rally, being profiled flatteringly in The New Yorker, deluging her supporters with emails, and sparring with ex-D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, the darling of the privatizers, about how to "fix" education.
In her new book, Reign of Error, Ravitch documents how public education's antagonists have manufactured a crisis in order to advance their agenda. They deploy doom-and-gloom language to characterize the threat. For example, the 2012 report of a blue-ribbon commission chaired by Joel Klein, the former chancellor of New York City's public schools, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warns that the failure of public education "puts the United States' future economic prosperity, global position, and physical safety"—physical safety!—"at risk." Similar alarms have been sounded since "A Nation at Risk," a 1983 national commission report, insisted, to great effect, that a "rising tide of mediocrity … threatens our very future as a Nation."
Exhibit A in the sky-is-falling argument is the claim that test scores are plummeting. Ravitch shows that, quite the contrary, scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the nation's report card, have never been higher. (The biggest gains in NAEP scores were recorded before the No Child Left Behind Act, with its fixation on teacher accountability and high-stakes testing, was implemented.) Nor do American students perform as badly as advertised on international exams—in 2011 tests of math and science, only a handful of countries did better. There's no new dropout problem—students are staying in high school longer, and six-year graduation rates have never been higher.
Point by point, Ravitch attacks what has become the conventional wisdom about how American schools are failing and how to save them. Students' test scores mismeasure the worth of teachers, and so shouldn't be the basis for rewarding or punishing teachers. Merit pay for teachers has never worked. Neither tenure nor unions undermine the schools. Teach for America recruits, straight out of college, do no better, and often do worse, than teachers with credentials. Poverty isn't an "excuse" for ineffective teaching but a fact of life that schools must take into account.
Ravitch is both a respected scholar and a gifted polemicist. While she makes a powerful argument for strengthening, not dismantling, the public schools, in a few instances she has soft-pedaled the problems. She gives unions a pass, even though in many districts it's harder to fire incompetent teachers than to defrock doctors or lawyers. And while Ravitch acknowledges that we've slipped from first to 14th in international rates of college graduation, she's unworried by this relative decline. Yet there is reason to fret: As Harvard economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz show, in their 2010 book The Race Between Education and Technology, America became the world's richest nation during the first eight decades of the 20th century mainly because of our shared commitment to higher education. To remain atop the heap, they argue, we need to do better.

Mr. McCaffrey goes to Washington
NCSE's Mark McCaffrey will be discussing the educational use of the third National Climate Assessment at a panel in the White House on May 6, 2014. The panel will be streamed live from the White House between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern) on May 6, 2014; McCaffrey's presentation will take place toward the end of the event.
NCSE's McCaffrey on Wyoming debacle
NCSE's Mark McCaffrey contributed a guest column, entitled "Protecting Wyoming's most valuable resource" — which he identified as children rather than energy — to the Casper Star-Tribune (May 4, 2014), reviewing the derailment of the adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards because of the legislature's objection to their treatment of climate change.
What's next for South Carolina's mammoth debate?
The South Carolina Senate insisted on its version of House Bill 4482 — which refers to the Sixth Day of Creation — on a 28-13 vote on April 30, 2014, and so the bill proceeds to a conference committee.
Standards impasse resumes in South Carolina
The impasse in the dispute about the place of evolution in South Carolina's state science standards continues. "The S.C. Education Oversight Committee on Monday sent proposed language to the [state board of education] that would require biology students to construct scientific arguments that seem to support and seem to discredit Darwinism," reports the Charleston Post and Courier (April 28, 2014).
Friend of Darwin and Friend of the Planet awards for 2014
NCSE is pleased to announce the winners of the Friend of Darwin award for 2014: Eric Rothschild, Stephen G. Harvey, Witold Walczak, Richard B. Katskee, and Faye Flam. The first four recipients led the victorious legal team representing the plaintiffs in Kitzmiller v. Dover, the 2005 case establishing the unconstitutionality of teaching "intelligent design" in the public schools; Flam, a science journalist, wrote "Planet of the Apes" — the only newspaper column dedicated to evolution — for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 2010 to 2012.
What's next in Wyoming?
Wyoming's newspapers continue to carry a variety of news and comment following the legislature's decision to preclude the use of any state funds to review or adopt the Next Generation Science Standards — a decision reportedly owing to objections to the NGSS's treatment of climate change, as NCSE previously reported — and the state board of education's subsequent decision not to implement the standards. Of particular interest are a guest column from a professor in the department of plant sciences at the University of Wyoming, a report on how teachers in Laramie, the third largest city in the state, are going to proceed, and a brief commentary from NCSE's deputy director.
Polling confidence in science
A new poll from the Associated Press and GfK asked (PDF) respondents not whether they agree or disagree, but how confident they are, about various claims about science. The Associated Press (April 21, 2014) summarized, "Americans have more skepticism than confidence in global warming, the age of the Earth and evolution and have the most trouble believing a Big Bang created the universe 13.8 billion years ago."
Editorial reaction to the latest in Wyoming
Editorialists and columnists in Wyoming are irate with the state government after the state board of education decided not to implement the Next Generation Science Standards. As NCSE previously reported, a footnote in Wyoming's budget for 2014-2016 precluded the use of state funds "for any review or adoption" of the Next Generation Science Standards, and one of its authors acknowledged that the NGSS's treatment of climate change was a reason for the prohibition. It was hoped that the board might have adopted the NGSS with the funds available to it before the new budget period begins. Instead, at its April 11, 2014, meeting, the board referred the standards back to a state department of education committee — which previously unanimously recommended the adoption of the NGSS.
Climate change education around the world
"From Mauritius to Manitoba, climate change is slowly moving from the headlines to the classroom," reported The New York Times (April 20, 2014).
Darwin Day bill dies in Hawaii
Hawaii's House Resolution 145, which would have designated February 12 of each year as Darwin Day "to celebrate all of Charles Darwin's achievements in the field of science," died in committee on April 10, 2014, when a legislative deadline passed.

It focuses on the measurement of the outcomes and impact of Phase III of the Campaign on children and their parents concerning illegal drug use among youth. It contains four rounds of Restricted Use Files and includes all NSPY respondents. The Restricted Use Files also contain extensive data on youth, parents, and the Campaign advertisements, as well as other reference files. In addition, NSPY contains Public Use Files which were released in September 2004. The Public Use Files contain only the first three rounds of data and a subsample of respondents. Also, due to confidentiality reasons, the September 2004 Public Use File provides a limited set of variables about youth, and only a handful of variables about parents as it is not possible to link respondents across rounds using the Public Use Files, but it is possible using the Restricted Use Files. The survey was developed and implemented under contract to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Westat conducted the study in collaboration with the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and, for the first two years of the project, with the National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI). NSPY Round 1 was conducted in three waves, covering the periods November 1999 through May 2000 (Wave 1), July 2000 through December 2000 (Wave 2), and January 2001 through June 2001 (Wave 3). NSPY Round 2, the first follow-up of the initial survey, was conducted in two waves covering the periods July 2001 through December 2001 (Wave 4) and January 2002 through June 2002 (Wave 5). NSPY Round 3, the second follow-up data collection, was conducted in two waves covering the periods July 2002 through December 2002 (Wave 6) and January 2003 through June 2003 (Wave 7). Finally, NSPY Round 4, the third follow-up data collection, was conducted in two waves covering the periods July 2003 through December 2003 (Wave 8) and January 2004 through June 2004 (Wave 9). Youths and their parents were selected for NSPY through a multistage, dual frame probability sample design. The sample was selected in a manner designed to provide an efficient and representative cross-section of American youth. In general, youths living in all types of residential housing units were eligible for the study; however, youths living in institutions, group homes, or dormitories were excluded. The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign seeks to educate and enable America's youth to reject illegal drugs; to prevent youth from initiating the use of drugs, especially marijuana and inhalants; and to convince occasional users of these drugs to stop using them. The evaluation had four objectives: (1) to measure changes in drug-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in children and their parents; (2) to assess the relationship of the changes (in drug-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors), and their association with self-reported measures of media exposure; (3) to assess the association between parent's drug-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, and those of their children; and (4) to assess changes in the association between parent's drug-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors and those of their children. NSPY employed a panel survey design with four rounds of data collection for youth and parents between November 1999 and June 2004. Round 1 of the NSPY is the recruitment phase of the study. It consists of three cross-sectional survey periods lasting about six months each. About 81,000 dwelling units were selected for the sample in Round 1 and approximately 8,100 youths and 5,600 parents were interviewed. Rounds 2 through 4 are the follow-up phases of the study. Round 2 included about 6,400 households from which approximately 6,500 youths and 4,600 parents were interviewed. Round 3 included about 5,950 households from which approximately 5,850 youths and 4,250 parents were interviewed. Round 4 included about 4,600 1-4 Introduction households from which approximately 4,850 youths and 3,600 parents were interviewed. The data generated by this design can be analyzed both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The questionnaires were developed for Wave 1 of the National Survey of Parents and Youth and modified slightly for Wave 2. The Wave 2 versions are shown with footnotes to indicate where the Wave 1 instrument differed. There are four questionnaires. The first is a household screener. It comes in two parts. Part I was administered with paper and pencil, mostly at people's doorsteps. Its purpose was to establish the eligibility or ineligibility of a household. Part II of the screener was administered with a laptop computer. Its purpose was to select a sample of eligible youth and parents from each household. There are then three substantive questionnaires: one for children aged 9 to 11, one for adolescents and teens aged 12-18 (the "Teen" instrument), and one for parents. The child instrument is basically a shortened version of the teen instrument. It was made shorter because of the shorter attention spans of younger children and because of the difficulty of some of the concepts for them. The teen instrument covers the following topics: basic demographics; school and religion; media consumption; extra-curricular activities; personal usage of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; expectations for future use of marijuana; feelings of self-efficacy to resist future offers of marijuana use; knowledge of friends' and classmates' use of marijuana; receipt of marijuana offers; family functioning; antisocial behavior of self and friends; approval/disapproval and perceived risk of marijuana and inhalants; perceived ease of parental discussion on drugs and perceived parental reactions to personal drug use; past discussions about drugs with parents, friends, and others; awareness of drug-related media stories and advertising; recollection and assessment of specific Campaign-sponsored antidrug advertisements on television and radio; Internet usage; and participation in drug education classes and programs. The parent instrument covers the following topics: media consumption; communication with child; monitoring of child; family functioning; knowledge about child's use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; personal participation in community drug prevention activities; awareness of drug-related media stories and advertising; recollection and assessment of specific Campaign-sponsored antidrug advertisements on television and radio; personal usage of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; basic demographics; and education, income and religion. When parents were being asked about their children, each question was targeted to a specific sample child and repeated for every sampled child in the household. Other questions that were not about their children were only asked once.

Bio and Links
I retired as an elementary school principal in 2000. As a person that sleeps only 4 hours a night that leaves 20 hours to fill. Sitting home is not an option. Now, I drive a school bus 5 hours a day and visit cemeteries every chance I get. I have never been to a cemetery that charged admission and seldom is there a crowd. My wife, Sandra, is of a like mind so it works well. We both enjoy the hunt and the thrill that comes with each discovery. Let us know if we can help. If you have additional information on one of my post or you are a relative and want ownership, I will gladly transfer it to you. Just ask. Oh! By the way just call me Doc!
NOTE: Many times the family plot has names different from those on the headstone. I always attempt to provide a reference point for markers. Hope this is not confusing.
Two quotes worth remembering:
"Tread softly, dreams are buried here." Unknown
"If you wonder about your 'roots' you have two parents, four grandparents eight great-grandparents and 16 great-great-grandparents, and by the time you go back 10 generations 300 years or so- you had 1,024 people from whom you are directly descended. --Mady Castro

It is my understanding that Faith Lutheran Cemetery and Shiloh Lutheran Cemetery is only divided by a lane. Your site is in the correct cemetery. I am only distantly related to Le Roy's mother, the Troutmans.
Let me know what you decide to do as I have made links to the family and want to make sure I change those.
You are doing great work and your information has been helpful to me many times.

Corbett Mode
Hi Richard,
You took & posted a photo to memorial 40096548 for Corbett Mode back in 2009. I recently requested a photo of his wife's headstone and it appears someone copied your photo and posted it on the wife's memorial, as their own. You may or not be OK with that but the photo you took, while great for Crobett, does not show all info for the wife. I intend to request another photo of his wife's part of the stone but I did want you to be aware of what the other person did with your photo.

U of M assistant coach helps guards transition to college play
The main teaching point Saul Smith stresses to the Minnesota Gophers basketball guards he works with is tempo. "As a former point guard, I think tempo is going to be crucial to any player. "[Controlling] tempo — whether that's faster or slow, whatever you play — you are going to be more successful. This is what we preach to our guys," says Smith, the sixth-year assistant coach who helps develop the team guards. Does the fact that he once played guard in college help? Continue Reading →

Bill Gross Must Have Warren Buffett Envy - Outrage
TheStreet) - There are only two explanations for Pimco investment in a troubled North Carolina community bank - either Bill Gross has Warren Buffett envy or he's still bitter about not getting picked to run the government bank bailout back in 2008. Personally I think it's Buffett envy, but being rejected for the top TARP job a few years back no doubt feeds into motivation to buy ECB Bancorp (ECBE), which Reuters reported is the target of Pimco's new $2.3 billion "Bravo" fund.Gross must have felt impotent, watching Buffett fly to the rescue of Goldman Sachs and more recently Bank of America, while Pimco's German parent Allianz (AZ)kept Pimco focused on bonds. Now that Allianz unleashed Pimco and untied Gross' hands, he's obviously got a lot of catching up to do. The ECB engagement isn't really a big deal - Pimco is only dropping about $25 million into the recapitalization of the bank compared with the $5 billion Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway put into Bank of America or the $5.5 billion Buffett loaned to Goldman Sachs, which paid him back in April. In fact, the deal wouldn't be noteworthy at all if Pimco wasn't involved. This must be a feel-good moment for Gross, who seems to be spending about as much time offering commentary on network television as he does running Pimco. It makes perfect sense that after 40 years building Pimco into the world's largest bond fund, its founder may be looking for a capstone for his career. It happens often enough in the investment world that the big players eventually earn enough money to afford the luxury of dabbling in public service. Think about former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, who went from CEO of Goldman Sachs to the U.S. Senate and the governor's office. Or how about New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who went from Solomon Brothers to founding the Bloomberg empire to the mayor's mansion. There are too many examples to list them all. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gross end up being tapped for a White House cabinet post at some point, but for now he seems to be following more in Buffett's footsteps, playing the savior while remaining comfortably within the safety of his reputational stronghold at Pimco.NEW YORK (

More reasons to go forward with the coal-fired power plant in Taylor County.
The Taylor Energy Center is proving to be the most cost-efficient. It will be similar to this coal plant in Jacksonville.
The utility owners solicited power purchase proposals last December to see if there's an economical alternative to building the proposed coal-fired power plant in Taylor County.
The proposals would be significantly more expensive than building the taylor energy center.
David Brown, Taylor County resident, said, "I do agree with it because I used to be a pipe filter. We put eight cogient nitro gases down in Fort Myers. After we put those nitro plants in, those cogient nitro gases our electric [bill] doubled."
Requesting proposals to purchase power, as an alternative to building a new power plant, is part of the normal process prescribed by Florida's power plant sitting act.

Richard Gere Should Have Someone Drive Him to John Howie
The Screenplate: In the cinematic realm, 2012 might the Year of the Asshole, what with Richard Gere (Arbitrage) and Denzel Washington (Flight) playing egregiously flawed human beings whom the audience somehow ends up rooting for in the end. These sorts of performances are among the most difficult for an actor to pull off, which is why you can expect both Gere and Washington to be on pins and needles come February.
Flight opens with Washington--the cartoonishly named Capt. Whip Whitaker--and a hot flight attendant looking hungover as fuck in an airport hotel room in Orlando. Speaking of fuck, they've been doing that all night in between swigs of vodka and rails of blow, to the point where they've hardly slept a wink in advance of a 9 a.m. crop-jumper to Atlanta. After being rousted out of bed by a pissy phone call from his ex-wife, Washington gets right by doing another line of coke, then straightens himself out further by pouring three ounces of vodka in his orange juice once he's steered his jet out of some really turbulent weather into a sliver of clear air.
The coast looks clear until a mechanical failure puts the plane on a seemingly certain course for catastrophe. In the cockpit under duress, Whip proves himself the Michael Jordan of commercial airline pilots, executing a crash landing that is subsequently hailed as ingeniously heroic. Instead of killing everyone on the plane, only six lives are lost, including that of the flight attendant Whip was cavorting with the night before. Their post-crash toxicology reports carry dire consequences for Whip, who is told by union reps that he must stay clean should he want to avoid incarceration.
A mild alcoholic might be scared straight, but Whip is no mild alcoholic. Rather, he's a boozer of ridiculous proportions, rivaled only by Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, Mickey Rourke in Barfly or Bobcat Goldthwait in Shakes the Clown. Whip drinks when he wakes up (after a line or two of coke, more supplement than focal point in Whip's intoxicant arsenal), drinks when he flies, and drinks when he drives. He'd drink in his sleep too, were it not for the fact that he typically passes out cold after his last conscious gulp. And yet, even while perpetually hammered, he's such a deft pilot that never for a moment do his colleagues question his command in the air, even as he's turned his life on the ground into shambles.
Unlike Arbitrage, which keeps the viewer guessing until its last frame, Flight's narrative is cheapened by a morally absolute ending that fails to embrace a hard truth: That, for certain elite professionals, what makes them an asshole is also what propels them to peak performance--even if the "what" is a spigot of Stoli. At Moon Temple, a Chinese lounge in Wallingford known for ultra-stiff pours, Whip would not be subjected to such governance. He might have a pot sticker or some noodles, or he might not. What he would definitely be is left alone to maintain his edge, one tumbler at a time.

Julia Gillard & Anne Summers

Looking forward to hearing how Ms Gillard has survived since she left the public eye. A lesser person would have had a complete breakdown! I hope she is able to get over all the nastiness of politics, especially the really bad stuff they dished out to her. Whatever her political position she did not deserve all that misogynistical evil!
Ron :
30 Sep 2013 2:48:00pm
R u referring to the evil from outside her party or within it? Nobody treated her as bad as her own colleagues, both men and women. THis mysogony claim is a diversion from the fact that she was such an unpopular PM that her ownParty dumped her. I think if women r going to cry "mysogony" every time they are criticised then they will put back the women's movement 20 years. Get over it.

Miss Molly :

In reply to Ron. We have had much much worse prime ministers than Julia Gillard, but I don't recall them being subjected of sexist or personal ridicule.
Were they asked by the media if they partners were gay, will Tony Abbot be asked if he wife is a lesbian? Will certain media personalities disrespect the death of a loved relative of a male politician? Will other female politicians or indeed male politicians who opt not to have children be criticised? I don't think so!!
I don't recall female leaders of other countries being treated with such disrespect and downright sexist comments. Is this something in the Australian male psyche or could it be that some Australian men in power feel threatened by strong, intelligent women!
There is a huge difference between criticising a professional performance and blatant personal attacks and no one deserves the treatment dished out over the years to Julia Gilliard, and yes it was by and large sexist and mysongonistic.

Anne Summers sounds more like a fan than an interviewer at times here. Despite that, it is a fascinating conversation. Julia Gillard emerges as a person of considerable stature, grace and good humour. It is good for us all to be reminded of her impressive policy achievements as PM.
Mary Waters :

Eleana Winter-Irving :
01 Oct 2013 10:36:09am
I watched last night on ABC24 and was riveted to my TV. I didn't even answer the telephone whilst it was on.
Julia Gillard was poised, calm and intelligent. She had no problems communicating. She is a fantastic communicator. Those that said that she didn't communicate ALP policies either had blocked ears or they were not tuned into any programs that she was speaking on. I was always abreast of all policies and had no problem understanding any of them.
Of course any reasonable person knows why she was vilified and denigrated at every turn by the main stream media. Every journalist who degraded this beautiful, sincere and respectful person had an agenda. If they worked for Rupert Murdoch, they needed to keep their jobs and were obviously ordered to toe the line. Fairfax needed a puppet as PM and Julia was never going to be that. It is unclear as to why certain ABC presenters and journalist were biased towards a certain show off, ill-mannered type and often felt the need to belittle and speak disparagingly about her.
A puppet is something Julia Gillard will never be and that's why MSM hated her. Not because she was a useless politician, not because her polices were not communicated well and not because she wore unflattering clothes or her voice didn't sit well with them. They hated the fact that she was an excellent politician and one who could NOT be manipulated. Anyone watching the Conversation with Anne Summers would have to acknowledge that she is in fact one of the best communicators in this country and has been cast out for too good. SHAME!

Eleana, the ABC has been every bit as Rightwing as News Corpse and the rest of our totally Rightwing MSM since the Howardisation in 1997, and the ABC Board stacking. That neither Rudd nor Gillard had the guts to fight back and stack in reverse if only to restore some balance at the ABC was a tremendous moral failure. As long as the MSM in this country is entirely Rightwing, from the polite to the, far more common, rabid and deranged, this country is finished. Totalitarian rule by the Right is the death of every human decency.

The only reason Rudd got in was because he was given the TV Breakfast show where he came across as a jolly and inoffensive fellow. Boy what a guise. If Julia had been given the gig she would have slipped into the position with no problem. The time was ready for a female candidate. The cries of fowl play when Rudd was swapped for a better leader were ridiculous - like its never happen before between male politicians - its hillarious. The the misogeny crept up ever so slightly - not so you could put your finger on it. Then the Mining companies weighed in with their Disney world advertising campaigns. Like they care a jot for Australia. Transnationals are not citizens. Misogeny dressed up as critique and sophism put up as objective observations. I hope we learn and move forward. As a female I feel abandoned by male Australia - but Julia's strength is now legend.

05 Oct 2013 11:36:54am
There has been an epidemic of misogyny on the Right since Howard came to power. We had the misogyny charmingly combined with racism of the 'Secret Women's Business' hate-fest directed against the Ngarrindjeri women over Hindmarsh Island. We had the naked misogyny of the hate campaigns against Joan Kirner, Christine Nixon, Carmen Lawrence, Anna Bligh, Kenneally et al. Then the misogynistic fury of the anti-Gillard forces from the Pickering depths to the slightly less Stygian heights of the Abbott Opposition. Rightwing dominance of society brings, inevitably, the whole spectrum of Rightwing hatreds, from racism, xenophobia, class hatred, homophobia etc to misogyny, all projected onto society through policy, political promotion and Rightwing MSM propaganda. It's a tactic, one which was designed to harvest the votes of the woman-haters (both male and female) in Australian society. It worked a treat.
Stephanie :
01 Oct 2013 6:24:27pm
I am one of the many who has been proud to be an Australian when Julia Gillard took office, and proud, too, of her achievements that speak to her skill and diplomacy.
But I am critical of her treatment of single mothers; i.e. cutting off their money and putting many of them in terrible financial deprivation, which has left them vulnerable to predatory types. She owes them an apology for inflicting this cruel decision upon them, that they are still suffering from.
And I am at a loss to understand her support of Tanya Plibersek to whom she obliquely referred on this occasion as a potential future PM. I remember that Plibersek was one of the women in her Party who voted against her in the Rudd Coup last June.
I can't remember one instance of Plibersek speaking up for Gillard when she was PM. In fact I remember her stating on one occasion in a hard tone that no one would hear a word from her about the misogyny that dominated in and out of parliament.
Gillard has been loyal to a self-serving ambitious colleague who didn't have the decency to return that loyalty in the vote, which is rather naïve of Gillard.
If Plibersek did become PM, I suspect she would put her own political interests before anything else, so we would probably not see the legal reforms and changes that Australian women so badly need.

I think all those people who voted for Abbott..and tossed her aside for Rudd, and who listened to this interview, realise now what a leader we lost.
Julia Gillard demonstrated with her words her integrity, grace, and intelligence and expressed herself so clearly. Compared with the media's practice of selecting and broadcasting a 30 sec grab from a doorstop interview, listeners were 'treated' to a wonderful and insightful interview with the former first woman PM.
Put it next to Gough's words on the steps of Parliament House as a 'where were you?' moment.

I didn't go for Julie initially. I am not a Labour voter but I do like to go for a certain gravitas in either a man or woman.
I'm sad Kevin had such a raw deal, but given his shortcomings as a leader have been aired it would seem that someone was in line for the top job, and lo, Julia got it!
I think she garnished up well and showed some true grit. I liked her for that.
Julia's speaking style irked me initially, but I kinda got used to it.
Ann Summers does not impress me as an interviewer but she's got there through some tough work.
So..., I admired Julia too.

THANKS RN thanks Julia thanks Anne thanks audience at the SOH.. How refreshing to heAr our first female PM refreshed from the fiasco that beset her PMship ...wonderful to know her ex colleagues where in the audience...she has by this interview allowed us to understand succinctly all the dynamics that influenced her governing and what a minefield...an articulate, humorous, very intelligent, gifted woman...her measure can be gauged from what has been offered to her regarding her future...history will embrace J G not only as a female icon but an Australian Icon...not our recent PM or current one will hold this place in history...

Stephen Coates :
04 Oct 2013 10:25:23am
While an interesting conversation, the questioning was gentle - I wonder if Anne had interviewed John Howard a month after his defeat if she'd have been as gentle with her questions to him. But I was particularly struck by the repeated eruptions of applause. Kim Jong Il, Stalin, etc had to apply certain means to achieve this (at one 1937 function, the first person to stop applauding for Stalin was arrested the next day and sentenced to 10 years).
Darcy :
06 Oct 2013 11:57:29pm
Well, the audience were paid-up fans of Julia Gillard and organized by that scary feminist Anne Summer.
I guess, in this case, that the person who first stopped applauding would be suspend from the sisterhood.
Betty Birskys :
04 Oct 2013 5:46:57pm
Thank you, ABC and Anne Summers for giving us that wonderful, inspiring interview, with its spontaneous acclaim from the hundreds of (mainly) women who filled the Opera House. I loved the way they encircled her with their warmth and love and gratitude... but she did so much for them on that occasion too, lifting their broken hearts...
A little self-revelation here; I was dismayed when Kevin Rudd was so summarily dismissed - it was on my 85th birthday, to make matters worse - so very angry with events of June this year, absolutely dejected by the slippery ascent of Abbott - but I have just sent off my Leadership Vote as a recent new member of Labor...
The fight will go on, but I must admit it makes me sad to read the few nasty, bitter comments that still come - even on this page.
I have realised that I am after all 'a true believer' and proud of it. Thank you, Julia... we are proud of you...

After her humiliating fall from prime ministership, I don't mind Julia Gillard was given a chance to soak up the admiration from her adoring fans. This poor woman did have a tough time in politics.
But it is clear in the interview ( I would describe it was a performance between these two women) that Gillard tried to re- write the history and tried to project hers a legacy.
The reality is that people opposed her not because she is a woman, but because she is an incompetent politician.

It's amazing how many comments here are framed around the ex-PM's performace, as gauged by subjective measures of success/failure of key policies. This seems to blindly follow the MSM agenda, where the narrative was always cast as though we lived under a US Presidential system. Let's not forget, under the Westminster system decisions come out of cabinet, and policies are 'owned' by the responsible portfolio minister.
Julia's main weakness was probably being too nice, not enough mongrel. One can imagine a Keating, faced with some of the dithery policy flip flops, the poorly planned implementations etc, really kicking arse, and roasting the relevant portfolio minister. I just couldn't see him sitting back copping the flack for cabinet members' poor performance.
This loss of focus reached ridiculous heights when we had the world-weary Laurie Ferguson whinging before the microphones about all the stick he was copping in his electorate about boat people, and how it was essential the PM get down there and mollify his electorate by explaining the complexities of the issue, and how simple solutions like those mouthed by the Coalition won't work etc. It was the same old story – we've got a problem, and it's the PM's problem.
Julia, you were impressive, I miss you, but oh how I wish you had been more demanding of your colleagues.

Sum up what you have said - Julia Gillard is not a leader material. Her premature coup in 2010 really started Labor's woe.

Now that the dust has settled somewhat we can look back and ask the questions that should be asked and Summers didn't that paint Julia Gillard in somewhat of a less heroic light than the sisterhood wants.
Her government made life hard for single parents, she voted against pension rises based on her perception that pensioners don't vote Labor, and she knifed Harry Jenkins with a crude attempt to gain political advantage in the Reps.
These acts make her out as a shallow and devious political operator willing to throw out support for people who need it when it suits her, and really no different to her Conservative opponent. Indeed she would well have been suited to a position in Abbott's Cabinet, I'm sure she could find some more savings in the social welfare area. Just ask single mothers or pensioners.

I turned it off and didn't even bother with the second one. Can you imagine Angela Merkol or Hilary Clinton doing same?
