'Shocking' tribunal decision calls on Friends of the Earth to pay £1m tax bill

Acevo is struggling to put the Impact Coalition on a sustainable financial footing and is planning to review its patronage of the project.
The Impact Coalition, which stands for Improving Accountability, Clarity and Transparency, moved into Acevo from the Institute of Fundraising in the middle of 2009. At the time, the Institute had decided that it had already devoted enough funds to Impact - £100,000 over two years - and did not want to contribute much more. Shortly afterward other sector bodies stepped in to fill the funding gap - Charities Aid Foundation gave £15,000 and the Charity Finance Directors' Group and Public Fundraising Regulatory Association each provided £5,000.
But since those grants expired last summer, Acevo has been left to foot the bill for the Coalition's work. Although about 380 charities have signed up to the Impact principles, it is not a membership body and does not charge any fees.
When it moved into Acevo, sector leaders agreed that the chief executives' organisation was the more logical home for the Coalition's work, as improving charities' commitment to transparency and accountability needs to be led from the very top.
But Acevo chief executive Sir Stephen Bubb has admitted to Civil Society that it is under review because of the difficulty in funding it: "We need to think about how we take it forward because it has never been properly funded. We will be reviewing it."
He added that he hoped a solution could be found to move it to a sustainable footing because "it is a fairly core part of what we do".
"It's an important piece of work actually, given the issues around accountability that certain MPs have raised, it is something we need to be on top of. We took it over because we want to push it forward but we need to find ways of making it sustainable."
CFDG said its £5,000 grant to the organisation was always intended to be a one-off. PFRA chief executive Mick Aldridge said his board was broadly in favour of continuing to support Impact but had found itself in "something of a chicken and egg situation":
"We've said we don't want to give more money without seeing some concrete outcomes, and they've said they are finding it hard to generate concrete outcomes without more funding."
Aldridge said he still believed it was an important project with a lot of potential "but we don't want to be the only people co-funding it".
Since being under the auspices of Acevo, Impact has published its Transparency Manifesto and last June it announced that it had instigated talks with the PFRA about creating a 'rapid response unit' dedicated to combating negative press coverage about charities and fundraising. Aldridge said this project was "still on the cards" provided Impact could secure its future.
The Impact Coalition has planned three member seminars for the year ahead - 'Building stakeholder trust and confidence' in April; ' Hallmarks of an accountable charity' in July and 'Leadership and accountability' in October.
Seb Elsworth
Director of Strategy
11 Feb 2011
To clarify:
The implication in this story that ACEVO is reviewing our hosting of the ImpACT Coalition is not true. We remain completely committed to hosting the Coalition, and raising the profile of the importance of accountability and transparency amongst chief executives and trustees.
Stephen was talking about the need to continue to review the opportunities for this important work to be supported so that we can increase the effectiveness of the Coalition's work and reach more of the sector's leaders.

Xerenex Kidney Treatment: A Game Changer for Keryx Biopharmaceuticals
By Marivic Cabural - February 10, 2013 |
Keryx Biopharmaceutical's (NASDAQ: KERX) latest kidney drug called Zerenex is a game changer for the company after achieving positive results from its long-term Phase 3 study, which is the second and final obligation under the special protocol assessment (SPA) clinical program with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Zerenex is a phosphate binder designed to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients suffering from end stage renal disease (ESRD).
The company reported that Zerenex met the primary efficacy endpoint with high statistical change in serum phosphorous in the four-week Efficacy Assessment Period of the study compared with placebo in the intent-to-treat group. The secondary efficacy endpoints result was also remarkable after demonstrating its ability to increase iron storage parameters and reduce the need for intravenous (IV) iron and erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA). Zerenex proved its efficacy and safety in treating patients with ESRD.
Keryx Biopharmaceuticals estimated that ESA and IV iron account $2 billion and $400 million respectively, in the United States market. Zerenex could reduce the costs of treatment for kidney patients in the United States by approximately $750 million a year.
At present, the leading phosphate binder drug is Sanofi's (NYSE: SNY) Renvela/Renagel, which accounts for 50 percent of the market. Based on the third quarter financial result of Sanofi, Renvela/Renagel generated €164 million. Its sales were up by 12.6 percent compared with its result in the same quarter a year ago. According to Sanofi, its strong sales performance was driven by increased sales in the United States by 17.2 percent or €115 million.
Keryx Biopharmaceuticals CEO, Ron Bentsur is confident that Zerenex has the potential to become the leading phosphate binder drug in the market. Burrill Institutional Research analyst, Reni Benjamin believed that Zerenex has the ability to compete once it enters the generics market by 2014. The phosphate binder market is huge and generates $1.5 billion annually.
Joseph Pantginis, analyst at Roth Capital shares the same view. According to him, Zerenex has a significant opportunity to become the first phosphate binder that provides meaningful properties to manage anemia associated with dialysis patients. He raised his price target for the shares of Keryx Biopharmeceuticals from $7 to $15 a share. He also predicted the approval of Zerenex in the U.S. and European markets next year.
There is also a possibility for Keryx Pharmaceuticals to establish a partnership with DaVita Healthcare Partners (NYSE: DVA), one of the leading providers of dialysis treatment for patients with ESRD. DaVita provides kidney dialysis treatment to 142,000 patients with chronic kidney failure. Eighty nine percent (89%) of its patient are covered under government-based healthcare programs, particularly Medicare. Since, Zerernx offers huge savings due to reduced use for IV iron and ESA, dialysis treatment providers such as DaVita would consider switching its phosphate binder treatments to patients. Bentsur pointed out that Sanofi's generic Renvela doesn't have the capacity to compete with the amount of cost savings offered by Zenere.
makes sense!!!

That is a relevant statement if I say Gen IV is overrated, which is not the case at all. HGSS is my favorite remake considering that you can trade any Pokemon from DPPt, which means you can get Gen III and IV Pokemon before getting the National Pokedex, the mechanics are convenient (running shoes toggled, Pokemon following you, etc.) and Kanto is fully explorable in HGSS unlike in GSC which areas like Seafoam Island, Cerulean Cave, got taken away, and Viridian Forest is just part of route 2, which is my biggest gripe with GSC.
Other than that, people still praise GSC even though HGSS is superior.

Ireland 'has more work to do' on gay rights, gay senator says
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
2 things are needed for Ireland (North and South) to reach full equality:
1. Access to Civil marriage should be equalised for same sex couples
2. The religious exemption from equality laws needs to be scrapped in both places.
Then we'll have equality.
I'd disappointed to see Senator Norris celebtrating the Civil Partnership Bill.
I hope he is not condoning homophobic discrimination just to get some votes!
Stephen, that wouldn't give equality. It would still allow recognition of the religious marriages of straight couples while the religious marriages of gay couples would have no recognition. I am not religious, but so many people seem to forget that many gay people are. Gay-friendly churches should be free to have the wedding ceremonies they preform legally recognised.
Dromio, some religious denominations will perform same-sex marriages if that right is ever allowed. In all ten countries with full civil marriage equality, the civil marriage law is gender neutral and does NOT compel any religious cult to officiate or recognise a same-sex marriage. The Quakers are one such denomination that will marry same-sex partners. Personally, I don't care for religious ceremonies of any kind, I don't see the relevance to validate a marriage. In France, for example, arguably the best marriage system in the world for straight couples, the civil marriage is the only one recognised by the state, the religous component is voluntary and not binding. We should adopt that system in Ireland and the UK, further diminishing the power of the cults over our lives and rights. In any event, religious cults do NOT own marriage, not civil marriage at least,so who really cares what they do or do not recognise?
Stephen C
Senator Norris was the person who drafted and sponsored the Civil Partnership bill through, he was also the person who took his government to the European Court and won forcing Ireland to decriminalise homosexuality. His contribution to gay rights in Ireland is second to none.
In his lecture and in the participation in Pride talks back the panel question and answer session afterwards he expressed his view that civil marriage would be the next step and that he supported that. He also expressed his view, as a committed Anglican, that he felt churches should be able to perform services if they wished.
This is the work to be done, but he did and should celebrate the progress that has been made.
"This is the work to be done, but he did and should celebrate the progress that has been made."
Well said. I can never understand why some people think gay marriage is a panacea for all the equality issues facing gay men. The real battle is in society, point in case, South Africa has same sex marriage, but societally is still a grossly homophobic country to live your life in.
Same sex marriage is but a tiny part of it, and for most people the (albeit) flawed Civil Partnership is a tremendous step for Ireland, and StephenC's angry attacks against CP are becoming common place on this site, and thankfully are just internet rants. I sincerely hope that the introduction of full civil marriage some day cures him of all the anger he feels at the tremendous "injustices" he clearly experiences daily.
Let's all remember 1 very important thing – Civil partnerships were created solely and specifically to deny same sex couples access to civil marriage.
Let's not kid ourselves about their origins.
To deny law abiding, tax paying citizens the right to enter a civil contract solely on their sexual orientation is homophobic discrimination.
And insulting my motives (like Will is in the habit of doing) doesn't alter the fact that civil partnerships are discriminatory.
I'm glad that progress has been made.
But Ireland is running the risk of becoming apathetic on the issue of equality like the UK has.
Britain also has a civil partnership apartheid regime and despite repeated polls showing that most gay people support and want FULL legal equality for their relationships, the political will is now lacking and the LGBT community are told repeatedly that we should be satisfied with being treated as 2nd class citizens.
And it is shockingly offensive and incredibly selfish for certain LGBT people (Will for example) to tell other LGBT people (who are dissatisfied with being treated as 2nd class citizens in the eyes of the law), to 'put up and shut up'. How dare he? Does he believe that if I refuse to grovel in thanks for CP legislation that his own ability to get CP'ed will be affected? Who knows?
Those of us who want full equality are now being branded 'troublemakers' for not being suitably grovelling and meek as certain LGBT people would like us to be. Self-interest is THOSE people's motivation I suspect.
Is it Will? Is self-interest your REAL reason for not supporting legal equality for same-sex relationships.
So much for an LGBT community.As for religious marriage – well who cares about that? Religions have been discriminating for years – try getting a catholic marriage if you're divorced.
"And it is shockingly offensive and incredibly selfish for certain LGBT people (Will for example) to tell other LGBT people (who are dissatisfied with being treated as 2nd class citizens in the eyes of the law), to 'put up and shut up'. How dare he?"
LOL! Pathetic. I did nothing of the sort.
I'm just sick of YOU telling everyone ELSE they're second class citizens because they rightly celebrate a historic change in Irish legislature. If you believe you are "second class" then you clearly enjoy playing the poor victim, then good for you, but some of us have more self worth than you do.
"Is it Will? Is self-interest your REAL reason for not supporting legal equality for same-sex relationships."
This statement is just stupid, so I wont address it. Typically anger and bluster with no substance or basis in fact. Well done.
"Self-interest is THOSE people's motivation I suspect."
So, precisely what IS the LACK of self interest on your behalf in getting full marriage rights? What an utterly stupid thing to say. Of COURSE you are self interested in marriage, unless you are choosing not to avail of it? Your statement are bordering of childish and petty, and are a delightful show of your stupidity.
I however, have less self interest than I do pragmatism. Given you have to make up stuff to make you point, well, speaks volumes. Didn't get enough CAO points for college, or didn't you feel "equal" enough to get a good education? And I sincerely doubt that any civil marriage will make you even remotely feel equal, becuase you have some serious self esteem issues, but don't paint the rest of us with your brush, some of us are reasonable and civilised people. Not to mention a good anger management course would do you the world of good.
Give how you insulted people (including a retired man in a gay relationship for over 30 eyars, if I fremember correctly) on a previous thread because they celebrated CP's, you don't deserve equality or recognition, not because you are gay, but becuase you are not willing to accept other people's right to self determination. Equality is a right only for those willing to uphold the right of others, and you are as offensive as you are ill-informed and stupid. You were laughed off the other thread for your stupid comments, and this on is proving no different.
But feel free to rant away in your 'erudite' state of delusional madness, it clearly makes you feel one bit less the pathetic liar and buffoon you seem to be. Who am I to stop you….
Belfast Pride actually started last weekend – our official launch was on Saturday the 24th, but we also had a short film festival in the week before that. Visit http://www.belfastpride.com to find out more.
Will seems like hes up to his usual bitchy tricks , all insults and no substance. I suspect if he wandered outside the safety of south east coastal Dublin he would get a good kicking which he rightly deserves.
I am quite impressed by the pace of gay rights in Ireland over the last 15 years or so , though other social areas like mental health are fairly backward. Community attitudes are appalling but with the so called educated classes being as enlightened as Will we have a long way to go.
I guess gay marriage is the ideal, but to get national civil partnerships before some other more liberal societies is a great step forward. I guess there is hope for that dreary little rock homeland of mine.
"Will seems like hes up to his usual bitchy tricks , all insults and no substance"
Ah, 'victim' the bleeding heart racist is back with some erudite comments. How wonderful for us all. So, still insane? Good for you.
I agree with you Will, 100%…..one thing to cosider about these negative screaming nellies, who all sound as though they work for The Daily Wail, Abuse is the last refuge of the ignorant, and the more abuse meted out the more you know your right and they KNOW your right.
I think gays are cool. O-o

Stay (01/22/2013) - Our stay in #3 Villa was very nice. So great to feel heat in January. Being from Richmond, Maine with temps in the zeros or below, the heat is how do you say, muy bueno! Being here with our family was the icing on the 60th Birthday Cake! Zuri is a gem and kept the villa in tip-top shape. So pleasant to come back to a clean bed, fresh towels in the banyo. Really beautiful Playas and crystal clear water. The neighborhood welcome was homey. All in all a great, wonderful vacation.
Tim & Gloria M. ~ Richmond, MA
Sherri, I did receive both email confirmations. Thank you again for your great customer support and service in getting these activities scheduled for me. I will recommend your site to all of my friends who visit the island. Thanks again!!

(05/24/2015) - Our first visit to Mexico and we loved it! IslaMar was perfect for us laid back and very quiet people. Far enough away from all the tourist traps but close enough when we needed that part of it. The staff we met were Nidia, Andrea and Juan all very helpful and friendly. We used bicycles to get to and from the beach a lot (30 minute rides) and to go to the grocery store and to tour the area! We visited four (4) local restaurants El Super Hit; Chilangos, El Mission for lunch and San Carlos for fish all were very good and helpful with our broken Spanish. Love Cozumel and hope to come back soon! Loved the, the pool, etc.! We used Cozumel Rent-a-Bike great bikes and door-to-door service! Great service from Martin as well as he arranged a rental car for us very last minute from Bonefish Awesome Service!
G. & F. Bungay ~ Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Thanks once again for letting us borrow your piece of paradise. We told you that wed be back. Zuri is the BEST! Hope to see you again for Carnival in 2009. Thanks as always for treating us like FAMILY! Viva Cozumel
Jed & Paula C. ~ Huntersville, NC
Stay (02/22/2013) - We have had a great time! We are set to leave and thankful to have met the many people here. We try to stay away from the resorts so we can learn about the community and the people who make the area. IslaMar does that for us! We didnt get to spend much time by the pool and enjoying the beautiful grounds since our days were spent on the water or under the water, but again, thank you for a clean, safe place to come home to every night.

I entered the dates I wanted to travel, price was shown, proceeded to ck out, the site had added a day of travel so I backed out to re enter the correct date, proceeded again with ck out and then it flashed "fair no longer available at that price". That's not right at all! The fair WAS available but the SITE added a day so I lost out on the low fair! That's BS! So I placed a call to the 800 # only to get a guy who spoke very poor English! I got no where with him! All he was trained to say was "sorry that fair is no longer available"!! Well it was not MY fault...I could've gotten THAT fair if the site had not added a day of travel!
If I had wanted to travel one day longer, I would have put that date in the first time I searched for a flight.

March 16, 2016 - Love the fall colors, Perfect top on a fall day. Greater Good is so awesome and has GREAT customer service.
March 2, 2016 - Better then I had imagined.
February 24, 2016 - I really love the shirt and I am glad I read another review about the color difference. There are two different color combinations and the main one with the rust colors is NOT the one being sent out...at least not at this time. I do think the web site should clarify which you will be getting. The gold, purple and teal front on navy blue back that the model in the video is wearing is the one I received and the colors are true to the colors on the video. My only complaint is the over-stitching on the cuffs come lose very easily. I reinforced it from the inside, so it wouldn't come unraveled, and it seems to be holding OK. Be sure to read the care instructions because it probably would not hold up on a regular wash/dry type of care. I've washed it inside out on delicate with a very gentle spin and hang it to dry and it's doing great!
February 10, 2016 - Love the colors - very nice - fit perfectly (bought size larger). Highly recommend
February 2, 2016 - The shirt fit true to size although my experience with clothing made in Nepal is that this isn't always the case. The sleeves are a bit long but I don't mind. The colors are lovely and have held up well after one washing. I get lots of compliments whether I wear it with jeans, dress pants or a pencil skirt.

Danish company Sea Consult ApS has taken delivery of its first Damen Twin Axe as the company prepares to enter the offshore wind market.
Based in Marstal, Sea Consult is a new customer to Damen and this will be the first Fast Crew Supplier (FCS) 2610 to be operated by a Danish company. The vessel already has work at Belgian and German offshore wind farms for the next year and the company's new vessel is expected to be deployed in the next two weeks.
According to Damen, the short delivery time was a major reason the Danish company decided to choose the Damen high-speed catamaran. A Letter of Intent was signed in early June; Sea Consult and its crew arrived at Damen's headquarters in Gorinchem, the Netherlands on June 29 and the vessel sailed with its crew and a Damen engineer to Sea Consult's Danish base, arriving on Sunday evening June 31.
Owner and Managing Director of Sea Consult, Jan Fabricius, was on the FCS 2610's first journey and commented that he was "very satisfied" with the vessel's performance."We had seen the Twin Axe FCS 2610 operating at several wind farms and on television and we were particularly impressed by the Axe Bow." Damen explained that its Axe Bow hull offers low resistance, leading in turn to excellent seakeeping behavior and lower fuel consumption.
The FCS 2610 is very comfortable for the crew in terms of ergonomics and it is known for its ability to operate smoothly in higher sea states, Damen said. Sea Consult is considering the possibility of building up a small fleet of the Damen FCS 2610.
The vessel was built at Damen Shipyards Singapore, which is a Group specialist in high-speed aluminum craft.

Absolutely love! Great fit & no pilling! Wish I had bought more!
Well made & lovely sheet set.
soft, adorable, pretty, durable... I want more patterns to choose from!
Nice quality. They have held up and still look good!
Love these sheets, plus great price.
I got these to replace an old set that was worn and pilled. I've learned to wash new flannel sheets alone in cold water. These came out beautifully - soft and comfy with minimal dryer lint.
It has kept it softness and strength. Repeat buyer for the other beds.
Much better than sheets I bought at ******
I cannot say enough about this sheet set. I bought them for my granddaughters and they love love love them. Wash well. Hold their color and are very comfortable. Fit mattress very well.
all you expect beautiful, soft and durable
This is cozy and warm just as I expected!
Great sheets, very warm and soft. Recommend them .
Arrived promptly and exactly as ordered.
I am very pleased with this sheet set. The price was much better than what I normally pay for a king set. It was my first Overstock.Com order and I am most satisfied.
Sheets were very true to color and flannel feels very good. These will be nice and warm in the winter.
Aunt's Christmas present ..
I have found it very hard to find soft, comfortable flannel sheets with a design that I like for a great price. I found it in these Starburst Printed Flannel sheets. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
the best.....Love them...
I love these sheets. They wash beautifully. Love the colors. They are so bright and cheerful! They feel so cozy and warm on cold nights in Michigan!
These are really fun & cheerful. The pattern is a great early '70's retro. In spite of the 5 star I gave, the bottom sheet tore. I don't know how many washes but, it was a surprise. I, of course, still use the rest of the set.

Nuella Njubigbo: Marriage will not stop me from acting
Nuella Njubigbo fondly known as Ella started out as a script writer before she veered into the acting to make a statement. This Public administration graduate of the Imo State University has featured in many movies including 'Lord of Marriage', 'Life Incident', 'Room Service', 'Not my wife' among others. In this interview, she speaks on what life has been with her in recent times and what she is looking out for in marriage when the bell eventually ring. Excerpts;
What are your fans expecting from you?
They should be expecting the best from me; things they have not seen before about me, another side of Nuella. There are so many things I'm working on. I have blockbuster movies that will soon hit the shelve.
Did you write the scripts? I didn't write all, I wrote the scripts of two of the movies.
How soon are your fans expecting the wedding bell to ring?
When the bell rings, I will let you know, but not now.
Are you still searching?
I wouldn't say I'm still searching but I'm just waiting for the right time.
How do you mean?
When I'm ready and I'm sure, the right man will surface, or he has surfaced. But I want to be properly sure that he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.
What is your perception about marriage?
Marriage is all about commitment and sacrifice. You have to be ready to sacrifice a lot; you have to give up a lot of things to fit into it and to have a peaceful and happy marriage life. It is not a relationship that you can just wake up one day and say, I'm done with it.
I don't want to continue this anymore, it doesn't work that way. Once you are into it, you're really into it, you have to try and give your best to make it work out until you see that there is nothing else that you can do. I don't dream of divorce and I don't want to be part of it. I will rather wait and be careful in making the right choice.
Supposing after your marriage with your man in future, and he confronts you with this idea of choosing between your acting career and your marriage, what will you do?
I'm going to get married to a man that loves me and any man that loves me will not want to stand between me and my career. Yes, I might not be as busy as I'm today, when that time comes, I might as well not be able to be jumping from one set to the other, but I cannot subscribe to stop acting. I might limit my movement and scrutinizeany script that comes my way. If my man truly loves me, he will not stop me from acting because acting makes me happy.
And what if he doesn't?
I am going to marry a man that loves me. When we get to that bridge, we will cross it. I just pray it doesn't come because I can't give up my acting career; I can do it part time but not like quitting it completely. I don't pray that kind of a thing should come my way. For my husband to tell me not to ever stand in front of a camera again, it's suicidal, it's like wanting to kill me.
Imagine that you are married and your husband decides to take a second wife, would you encourage him?
It is heartbreaking. What will make a man to want to take another wife? The only thing that can create a situation like that is when the man is not satisfied with the wife, meaning that there is something going wrong between two of them.
Either he is not getting all he wants from you. It is painful, disheartening and I cannot even imagine it. To think that my man is not satisfied with me and he wants something more than what I can give to him is very disheartening.
So what would you do?
Honestly speaking, I don't know because you know when a man has made up his mind, nothing can change it. I don't know what I can do, I don't know if I can stop him at that point, may be, one person has to go. I will walk out of the marriage, if I know I cannot stand the risk of sharing him with another woman. I will walk out of the marriage but I'm not yet in that position, and I don't ever pray to be in that kind of position. If I find myself in that type of situation, I will first of all analyse it and ask myself if I can really stand sharing him with another woman.
You have had your own fair share of scandals that comes with stardom, how did your man react to those scandals?
He knows me very well and because of that, there has never been any time we had issues because of such scandals. He is always like; take it very easy, I know how you feel, I am sure you know all these and you should have been ready for all these scandals before you started off. There has never been a time we quarrelled or had any issue because of scandal. He has been very understanding

Common Senseby Thomas Paine Richard Beeman
Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government.

 Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged. His pamphlet was the first to speak directly to a mass audience--it went through fifty-six editions within a year of publication--and its assertive and often caustic style both embodied the democratic spirit he advocated, and converted thousands of citizens to the cause of American independence.
 Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves--and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives--and destroyed them. Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
 Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.

Common Sense and Selected Works of Thomas Paineby Thomas Paine

Common Sense Nationby Robert Curry
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."This sentence is perfectly familiar. We know it as a core principle of our founding. But few, if any of us consider why Jefferson wrote it in exactly this way. Why "unalienable rights" and not simply rights? Why "self-evident" truths and not simply truths? Why does the Declaration make these distinctions? Do they really matter?If these questions are challenging or Jefferson's words seem esoteric, it is because we no longer conduct our politics in the language of the Founders and we are no longer able to think as they once thought. In Congress and the media, political arguments are advanced by a torrent of policy studies and "expert" opinions-not on the basis of self-evident truths, unalienable rights, and definitely not in the language of the Founders.Common Sense Nation is a potent re-introduction to the political ideas of the Founders-in their own words and on their terms. It is dedicated to the proposition that the only way to fully unlock the profound and distinctive power of American self-government is to understand it as its inventors did. Common Sense Nation reclaims the language of liberty from entities that prefer to interpret our freedoms for us. For in knowing the Founders as they knew themselves, readers will learn the surprising depths of their own political powers as American citizens.

Deep insight and candid discussion from one of Wall Street's best investors Common Stocks and Common Sense provides detailed insight into common stock investing, using a case-study approach based on real-world investments. Author Edgar Wachenheim is the 28-year CEO of Greenhaven Associates, boasting an average annual portfolio return that exceeds Warren Buffet's.

The discussion covers the entire investment process, including the softer, human side, with candid insight into the joys and frustrations, intensities and pressures, and risks and uncertainties. The unique emphasis on behavioral economics and real-world cases set this book apart from the herd--but it's Wachenheim himself and his deeply-examined perspective that elevates the book beyond a mere investing guide.

Investors seeking real insight, real expertise, and a proven track record will find Common Stocks and Common Sense a uniquely useful resource.
Common Stocks As Long Term Investmentsby Edgar Lawrence Smith
Edgar Lawrence Smith, (1882-1971) was an economist, investment manager and author of the influential book "Common Stocks as Long Term Investments", which promoted the then-surprising idea that stocks excel bonds in long-term yield. . He worked in banking and other financial endeavors in the years after college, then signed on in 1922 as an adviser to the brokerage firm Low, Dixon & Company. While there, he later recounted in his Harvard class's 50th reunion yearbook, "I tried to write a pamphlet on why bonds were the best form of long term investment. But supporting evidence for this thesis could not be found." This discovery led to the 1924 publication of "Common Stocks as Long Term Investments." The book was widely reviewed and praised, and became a key intellectual support for the 1920s stock market boom. Its success enabled Smith to launch a mutual fund firm, "Investment Managers Company." It also garnered him an invitation from the economist John Maynard Keynes, who had favorably reviewed the book in "The Nation", to join the Royal Economic Society. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 brought a turn in Smith's fortunes.--Print Ed.
A Common Struggle: A Personal Journey Through the Past and Future of Mental Illness and Addictionby Stephen Fried Patrick J. Kennedy
Patrick J. Kennedy, the former congressman and youngest child of Senator Ted Kennedy, details his personal and political battle with mental illness and addiction, exploring mental health care's history in the country alongside his and every family's private struggles.

 On May 5, 2006, the New York Times ran two stories, "Patrick Kennedy Crashes Car into Capitol Barrier" and then, several hours later, "Patrick Kennedy Says He'll Seek Help for Addiction." It was the first time that the popular Rhode Island congressman had publicly disclosed his addiction to prescription painkillers, the true extent of his struggle with bipolar disorder and his plan to immediately seek treatment. That could have been the end of his career, but instead it was the beginning.
 Since then, Kennedy has become the nation's leading advocate for mental health and substance abuse care, research and policy both in and out of Congress. And ever since passing the landmark Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act--and after the death of his father, leaving Congress--he has been changing the dialogue that surrounds all brain diseases.
 A Common Struggle weaves together Kennedy's private and professional narratives, echoing Kennedy's philosophy that for him, the personal is political and the political personal. Focusing on the years from his 'coming out' about suffering from bipolar disorder and addiction to the present day, the book examines Kennedy's journey toward recovery and reflects on Americans' propensity to treat mental illnesses as "family secrets."
 Beyond his own story, though, Kennedy creates a roadmap for equality in the mental health community, and outlines a bold plan for the future of mental health policy. Written with award-winning healthcare journalist and best-selling author Stephen Fried, A Common Struggle is both a cry for empathy and a call to action
Common Valuesby Sissela Bok
In this book, Sissela Bok asks what moral values, if any, might be capable of being shared across national, ethnic, religious, and other boundaries, under what circumstances, and with what qualifications. As the twentieth century draws to a close, societies confront challenges and threats - whether from environmental or military or from epidemics such as cholera or AIDS - that cross every boundary. Responses, to be effective, must be collective as well; yet they cannot begin to be effective, Bok suggests, without greater stress on common values and goals.
Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planetby Jeffrey D. Sachs
A set of practical solutions based on a new economic paradigm for our crowded planet, from an assessment of the environmental degradation, rapid population growth, and extreme poverty that threaten global peace and prosperity
Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planetby Jeffrey D. Sachs
This is a book about how we should address the great, and interconnected, global challenges of the twenty-first century. Our task, Sachs argues, is to achieve truly sustainable development, by which he means finding a global course which enables the world to benefit from the spread of prosperity while ensuring that we don't destroy the eco-systems which keep us alive and our place in nature which helps sustain our values. How do we move forward together, benefitting from our increasing technological mastery, avoiding the terrible dangers of climate change, mass famines, violent conflicts, population explosions in some parts of the world and collapses in others, and world-wide pandemic diseases? In answering these questions, Sachs shows that there are different ways of managing the world's technology, resources and politics from those currently being followed, and that it should be possible to adopt policies which reflect long-term and co-operative thinking instead of, as currently, disregard for others and ever-increasing barriers to solving the problems which we collectively face. It is a book which appeals equally to both head and heart, and one which no globally thinking person can ignore.
Commonalities In Russian Military Operations In Urban Environmentsby Major Dale R. Smith
Despite the drastic evolution of warfare since the close of World War II fighting in urban environments has remained a constant. Despite the advances in modern warfare the tactics, techniques and procedures developed for urban combat operations remain largely unchanged. As the sole remaining superpower, The United States will likely find itself increasingly drawn into urban operations to perform stability and peacekeeping operations. In doing so it advantage in technology will be significantly reduced. By conducting a study of the Russian operations in Chechnya and comparing it to operations in Stalingrad some enduring traits began to emerge. These traits are significant for the unit wanting to understand how urban operations manifest unforeseen problems. More importantly, as many third world countries have been trained or have studied under Russian doctrine they may exhibit similar methodologies. The analysis contains more than a historical and tactical account of the actions. It attempts to identify the underlying themes that drive the history.
The Commonsby Stephen Collis
Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries the majority of the English common lands were enclosed, by decree and by force, depriving communities of their independence and self-sufficiency. The resistance to capitalism's "primitive accumulation," registered in recurring peasant revolts and nighttime attacks on hedges and fences, failed to stem the tide of what we now call "privatization" - but it spilled over into Romanticism's own advocacy of a kind of literary commons. Underground in poetry since the nineteenth century, the fight against enclosure resurfaces today amidst continuing accumulation and a renascent sense of the commons under globalization. In The Commons we wander the English countryside with the so-called mad peasant poet John Clare, pick wild fruit with Henry David Thoreau, and comb the Lake District with a host of authors of Romantic guides and tours, undermining William Wordsworth's proprietary claim to the region. Somewhere along the way Robert Frost's wall falls down, the Zapatistas make their appearance, and Gerrard Winstanley reclaims the earth as a "Common Treasury." This second edition includes the essay "Of Blackberries and the Poetic Commons."
Commonsby Myung Mi Kim
Myung Mi Kim's Commons weighs on the most sensitive of scales the minute grains of daily life in both peace and war, registering as very few works of literature have done our common burden of being subject to history. Abstracting colonization, war, immigration, disease, and first-language loss until only sparse phrases remain, Kim takes on the anguish and displacement of those whose lives are embedded in history. Kim's blank spaces are loaded silences: openings through which readers enter the text and find their way. These silences reveal gaps in memory and articulate experiences that will not translate into language at all. Her words retrieve the past in much the same way the human mind does: an image sparks another image, a scent, the sound of bombs, or conversation. These silences and pauses give the poems their structure. Commons's fragmented lyric pushes the reader to question the construction of the poem. Identity surfaces, sinks back, then rises again. On this shifting ground, Kim creates meaning through juxtaposed fragments. Her verse, with its stops and starts, its austere yet rich images, offers splinters of testimony and objection. It negotiates a constantly changing world, scavenging through scraps of experience, spaces around words, and remnants of emotion for a language that enfolds the enormity of what we cannot express.
Commonsense Anticommunismby Jennifer Luff
Between the Great War and Pearl Harbor, conservative labor leaders declared themselves America's "first line of defense" against Communism. In this surprising account, Jennifer Luff shows how the American Federation of Labor fanned popular anticommunism but defended Communists' civil liberties in the aftermath of the 1919 Red Scare. The AFL's "commonsense anticommunism," she argues, steered a middle course between the American Legion and the ACLU, helping to check campaigns for federal sedition laws. But in the 1930s, frustration with the New Dealorder led labor conservatives to redbait the Roosevelt administration and liberal unionists and abandon their reluctant civil libertarianism for red scare politics. That frustration contributed to the legal architecture of federal anticommunism that culminated with the McCarthyist fervor of the 1950s.Relying on untapped archival sources, Luff reveals how labor conservatives and the emerging civil liberties movement debated the proper role of the state in policing radicals and grappled with the challenges to the existing political order posed by Communist organizers. Surprising conclusions about familiar figures, like J. Edgar Hoover, and unfamiliar episodes, like a German plot to disrupt American munitions manufacture, make Luff's story a fresh retelling of the interwar years.
The Commonsense Kitchenby Tom Hudgens
Every once in a while a cookbook comes along that is at once so useful and so spirited you can imagine it becoming a kitchen staple. The Commonsense Kitchen is such a book.

This general cookbook has more than 500 recipes for delicious, honest staples and sassy regional specialties such as Red Chile Enchiladas and Mama Nell's Kentucky Bourbon Balls. What's more, this book features amazing food as well as lessons in life skills, from the proper way to wash dishes to how to make homemade soap. The Commonsense Kitchen is equally at home on the shelf of an urban foodie or a rural home cook.

- DAISY Audio - Similar to the Daisy 3.0 option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.
