Therefore, the company claims the protection from the Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements related to the business of International Stem Cell Corporation and its subsidiaries can be identified by common use of forward-looking terminology, and those statements involve unknown risks and uncertainties, including all business-related risks that are more detailed in the company's filings on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K with the SEC.

At this time, I'd like to turn the call over to Dr. Simon Craw, who will provide opening remarks. Simon, the floor is yours.
John Simon Craw
Thank you, Mark, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining International Stem Cell's third quarter 2012 earnings conference call.
We are pleased with the progress we have made in our therapeutic programs and in our subsidiaries during the last 3 months. I would, firstly, like to discuss the important progress our research and development team have made in the liver and Parkinson's disease programs.
In our liver disease program, we significantly improved our manufacturing methods, allowing us to produce liver cells at lower cost. We have also initiated efficacy studies in rats, designed to demonstrate that our stem cell-derived liver cells can be as efficient as primary human liver cells in treating metabolic disease called Crigler-Najjar syndrome.
In addition, in the third quarter, we were granted a new patent for a method of generating definitive endoderm, the precursor of both liver and pancreas cells. The patent is important, it covers creating such cells from all types of human pluripotent stem cells and offers a new efficient and scalable approach.
In our Parkinson's disease, we commenced a new rodent study to measure the efficacy of parthenogenetic-derived neuronal cells for the treatment of the disease. We plan to announce the results towards the end of the first quarter next year.
I'm also pleased to say that we have started our first non-human primate study in our Parkinson's disease program earlier than anticipated. This study is important as monkeys provide the best non-human model for Parkinson's disease and will help us understand how our stem cell derived neuronal cells perform in the brain.
Now I would like to discuss the performance of our subsidiaries. As we announced this morning, revenues in Lifeline Cell Technology grew 37%, and in Lifeline Skin Care, by 46%. In the third quarter, we adjusted the strategy and corresponding organizational structure of Lifeline Cell Technology to be more sales and market-driven. This has already resulted in improved sales.
In September, we announced that Lifeline Cell Technology began selling its primary human cells and optimized media products through Fischer Scientific's e-catalog as an Encompass Preferred Supplier. This is important as it provides us direct access to a group of potential customers and large pharmaceutical companies who may not have been able to purchase products from us before.
Lifeline Skin Care continues to diversify its source of revenue during the third quarter, by way of example, had a promotional campaign in the USA Today aimed primarily at building greater brand awareness.
The Skin Care team has also signed up a number of new professional SPAR accounts, increasing the number of locations where our products can be purchased.
Last but not least, in the third quarter, Lifeline Skin Care signed a distribution agreement to sell its anti-aging products through the extended clinical network of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in China, Sinopharm Group.
We believe that these achievement, along with the new products that we have in our pipelines, will continue the positive sales momentum of both subsidiaries.
On the operational side, we continue to make good progress to further improve our efficiencies in cash usage. Our vigilant control over every non-essential cost has resulted in a 26% reduction of our general and administrative expenses compared to the third quarter of 2011.

UN report: Poverty rate in Palestinian territories hits 63%
Some two million Palestinians are living on less than $2 a day, soaring the poverty rate of 63 percent in mid-2003, a UN report said on Friday.
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) prepared a report about the social and economic situation of the Palestinian people and disclosed that Israel is working to empty the occupied territories of its natives through the hard-hitting of its infrastructure, razing lands and construction of the wall.
The Executive Secretary of ESCWA, Ms. Mervat Tilawi, briefed in a press conference on the "Economic and Social Repercussions of the Israeli occupation on the Economic and Social Condition of the Palestinian People in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Including Jerusalem" at the UN house in Beirut.
The report was prepared by ESCWA on behalf of the United Nations Secretary General upon a resolution of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) number 59/2003 dated 24 July 2003. The report was presented to the Council on its 59th Session held at the UN in New York from 28 June to 23 July 2004.
The report focused mainly on four key points; the hindrances and restriction on movement, the growing number of the illegal Israeli settlements, devastation of the territories infrastructure and bulldozing of lands, demolishing of water wells and the building of the West Bank Wall.
"Israeli occupation is aiming to drain out the occupied Palestinian territories of its indigenous, casting further doubts on the efficiency of the diplomatic unilateral and bilateral moves on the purpose to find a solution for the Arab–Israeli conflict," ESCWA report noted.
The report included further statistical details about the exacerbated socio-economic difficulties the Palestinian endures due to the Israeli occupation.
The economic indicators witnessed sharp setbacks as unemployment rate soared to 70% in some areas.
By March 2003, 42 percent of families were destitute and dependent on humanitarian assistance. ESCWA said the World Bank had described the recession in the Palestinian territories as "one of the worst in modern history."
"The present review period demonstrates mounting economic and social damage under military occupation," the ESCWA report researched between January 2003 and February 2004.
"Most economic and social data show marked deterioration of living conditions for the Palestinian people, including new forms of dispossession and destruction of private and public assets of all kinds."
The report pointed out that one-third of the West Bank was suffering due the forcible seizure of land and water resources for building and expanding further illegal Israeli settlements and the construction of the wall in the West Bank. (menareport.com)

Holly from My Sister's Suitcase shares a fun repurpose project that started with a yard sale changing table. Holly's daughter loves ice cream, so creating her very own parlor seemed the perfect way to upcycle the table.
Holly went all out creating this ice cream parlor for her adorable daughter. You'll just have to go to her site to check out all the bells and whistles from the "retractable" awning to the hand-stitched ice cream cones. There are so many directions you could go with this idea. With some creativity, your standard changing table could become a grocery store, a puppet theatre, or even a parking garage!

Football Team Drops Opener to Augustana, 32-23
The St. Cloud State football team held a 23-14 lead mid-way through their contest Saturday, but a late push by Augustana gave the Vikings a 32-23 victory in the opening game of the season at Kirkeby-Over Stadium in Sioux Falls.
The St. Cloud offense had their bright moments under new quarterback Phillip Klaphake who threw for 319 yards and a touchdown. The first year QB hooked up with veteran receiver Fred Williams for a 60 yard touchdown. Williams set a St. Cloud record for receiving yards in a single game with 236 on his 12 catches. The mark broke the record of 228 yards set by Mike McKinney in 1998.
Despite offensive success, St. Cloud struggled on the defensive side of the ball late.The Vikings notched 18 consecutive points in the game's final 7:41 to turn the tables on the Huskies. Receiver Tyler Schulte lead the way for the Vikings with two touchdowns.
The Huskies fall to 0-1 and will look to rebound this Saturday as they are on the road against Concordia St. Paul. Kick-off is slated for 6 P.M. The following week the Huskies open their season at home with a conest against Winona State on September 18 at 6 P.M. KVSC is your home for Husky Football, and we will have the call of that game on 88.1 FM.

Moose are magnificent, at least in my opinion. They're odd and beastly in the most interesting of ways, like how their front legs are longer than their back legs or how their hair bristles like a dog's when agitated. I'm nothing but pleased that as a native Colorado species moose can be viewed across the state from Rocky Mountain National Park to the Grand Mesa. Here are ten facts you might not know about the tallest mammal in North America and where you might learn some more:
1. Moose are great swimmers and can swim up to 6 mph. They can also completely submerge themselves, staying underwater for up to 30 seconds.
2. Male moose are called bulls, females are called cows, young moose are called calves, a group of moose is a herd, and the plural of moose is moose (not mooses or meese).
3. Normal adult moose have the same number of teeth as a normal adult human: 32.
4. A moose's ruminant stomach can hold over 100 pounds of food which is needed to sustain a body weight around 1,800 pounds.
5. A full set of moose antlers can weigh over 50 pounds and measure over 6 feet across.
6. Moose can make many different sounds including squeaks, croaks, barks bleats, whines, roars, claps, wails, hiccups, snorts, moans, grunts, and cough-like moo-agh sounds.
7. Moose have poor eyesight, though their hearing and sense of smell are quite good.
8. The word moose means twig eater and comes from the Algonquin language.
9. The hairy bit of skin that hangs under a moose's throat is called a bell
10.Every year the US Forest Service hosts the Grand Mesa Moose Day on Colorado's western slope in honor of the largest member of the deer family. This year the Grand Mesa Moose Day is Saturday July 26 from 10 am to 4 pm; that's this weekend. The Grand Mesa Moose Day is a free event and festivities include hikes, moose viewings, kid-friendly activities, and presentations on moose biology and telemetry. There's also sure to be numerous new moose facts to learn.

Puppy-Throwing Girl Caught in Bosnia – Video
Last week, a video emerged in which a girl was found to be throwing puppies into a river. An international fury erupted, with several false accusations being lobbied against people who had nothing to do with this incident or video.
According to new reports from Bosnia, the girl who threw the puppies has been identified. Her family may face the equivalent of over $6,000 in fines and a formal social investigation.
Due to the nature of this film and incident, graphic media is withheld at time of report.

This Is New York City
Daniel Walker
These photographs represent how I saw New York City in the summer of 2008.
There's a bit of tourism, but mostly it's New York life - taxis, people, and places.
They are in no real order - other than the order in which I discovered them.
I don't want to explain each photo - there is no real story other than what I could see.

Following Wednesday night's earnings release, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is trading up mildly this morning. That's a bit of a surprise, considering that around last quarter's report in January we saw a roughly 15% move down in Facebook stock across five days. Before that, in October, investors saw a 20% jump in FB across five days.
Some traders might think this improved stability is a good thing. But frankly, they should be worried — because Facebook stock is at best stuck in a rut, and at worst in for a tough year or two.
Here's why the social media titan is unlikable after earnings:
Earnings Miss: The company fell slightly short of expectations on earnings thanks to big-time spending on things like developers and server space. Ultimately, you have to spend money to make money, and companies like Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) wouldn't be dominant if it wasn't for innovation and a decent R&D budget. However, Facebook's development efforts haven't borne fruit — Graph Search was a fad, Poke is a poor man's SnapChat and Home is plummeting in the Android store. Not exactly a lot of successes despite the expense.
Mobile Math: Profits aren't the big story, of course. Revenue — specifically, mobile revenue — is the name of the game as Facebook looks to migrate users away from desktops and onto tablets and smartphones. However, the most telling stat in the entire earnings release to me was that while 70% of monthly active users were on mobile (751 million of 1.1 billion total), that mobile segment generated only 30% of all ad revenue. That math is not in Facebook's favor.
Margin Collapse: The deflationary mobile market isn't unique to Facebook; media companies from Google to Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) face the same challenges. But that's no excuse to pretend that simply growing mobile users is enough when margins are clearly feeling the pain. Operating margin dropped to 26% from 36% and isn't likely to rebound substantially any time soon. And a look at this graphic of average revenue per user shows not just a decline, but a paltry $1.35 in ARPU.
Facebook Fatigue: Remember that AP/CNBC poll a year ago that said more than half of users have never clicked on a Facebook ad? Facebook is trying to change that, but a revamped News Feed or tweaked design can only trick users so many times. And beyond disinterest in advertisements, consider that Nielsen reports 10 million users have dropped Facebook in the U.S. over the last year. Not encouraging.
Stuck in a Rut: I believe there's a clear floor of $25 for Facebook stock, since the social media company has mostly traded between $25 and $30 since Thanksgiving. But FB is right in the middle of that range now, and it's unlikely to break out without a significant, game-changing event. Remember, Facebook stock offered at $38 but hasn't even come close to the mid-$30s since its IPO flop. If you own FB and it hits $30 or higher, I would sell.

(jacket - Daniel Cremieux | vest - H&M | shirt - J. Crew | tie - Mosaic | jeans - N&F | watch - Movado)
All you need to look your best this fall is a pair of jeans, a patterned shirt, a stylish tie (we'll discuss what this means in a minute), an all weather jacket, and a suit vest.
Wearing a suit vest may feel a bit strange or uncomfortable at first. If you wear a solid color or dark shirt, with a dark/plain tie, you will look like a bartender at a cocktail lounge. Dodge this dilemma by wearing a patterned shirt (like this or this) and a stylish, colorful tie.
Guys, throwing on a vest with a tie and going on a date or to a bar with some friends is much easier to do than trying to rock a blazer. Most blazers and sport coats don't have the right fit/won't be able to be put together well enough to avoid looking like middle management. A vest gives you the benefit of rocking a casual button down but giving you an edge by layering more than just a shirt and tie.
The all weather jacket is an important part of this look. Don't wear a blazer/sport coat--it'll look like you're heading in for casual Friday and not out to have fun. A leather jacket, or a quilted Barbour style jacket is perfect for maintaining a casual vibe. But beware: Going with a denim jacket or something similar (baseball, varsity, you get the idea) will change the dynamic of what you're wearing and make you look stupid for wearing a tie. Don't mix rebel with dapper gentleman.
- Make sure you wear a noticeable patterned shirt so you don't look like you're working behind the bar.
- If you're going to mix patterns (shirt and vest, or shirt vest tie) make sure that you vary the sizes of the patterns (small dots, medium plaid, large checks, etc).
- Don't mix rebel with dapper.
Stay classy,
Wear It Write.

BACKGROUND: Extracapsular tumor spread (ECS) has been identified as a possible risk factor for breast cancer recurrence, but controversy exists regarding its role in decision making for regional radiotherapy. This study evaluates ECS as a predictor of local, axillary, and supraclavicular recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS: International Breast Cancer Study Group Trial VI accrued 1475 eligible pre- and perimenopausal women with node-positive breast cancer who were randomly assigned to receive three to nine courses of classical combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil. ECS status was determined retrospectively in 933 patients based on review of pathology reports. Cumulative incidence and hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using methods for competing risks analysis. Adjustment factors included treatment group and baseline patient and tumor characteristics. The median follow-up was 14 years. RESULTS: In univariable analysis, ECS was significantly associated with supraclavicular recurrence (HR = 1.96; 95% confidence interval 1.23-3.13; P = 0.005). HRs for local and axillary recurrence were 1.38 (P = 0.06) and 1.81 (P = 0.11), respectively. Following adjustment for number of lymph node metastases and other baseline prognostic factors, ECS was not significantly associated with any of the three recurrence types studied. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the decision for additional regional radiotherapy should not be based solely on the presence of ECS.

TC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG ; 25 August 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580825-TC-JN-01; CL 34: 157-158
Hamburg / Streits' Hotel 25. Augst 1858.
Dear Neuberg
We arrived here yesterday at 4 p.m after a rather frightful voyage & were met by your dextrous & excellent friend M. Rosval.1 If you wish to know what paroxysm of debitations your second letter threw me into, you may send for a letter I wrote last night to your address Hotel de Bavière Leipzic.
But in the silence of the vigilant night it has now become manifest to me, that my second letter must have arrived before you came away;—that you are not come away at all; & that last night's letter to Leipzic may be safely left to take its travels into infinite space.
The decision I arrive at this morning is; That Foxton & I proceed direct according to our original destination, this day about noon towards Stralsund—arrive in those neighbourhoods on Friday evening, & there wait news of you—nay a definite approximation from you since you are so good as join us in that prompt manner. We fancy we can bathe in the seas of Rügen for a a2 few days, at all events want better there than elsewhere to prepare for the grand tour. My idea is, that you should come at once, at least to Berlin,—if not to Stralsund or Rügen itself:—after which we constitute you Palinurus3 of the enterprize; and all goes straight von Statten [from Stettin]. Enough: I write in difficult circumstances dictating while I wash & dress to Foxton who is kind enough to hold the pen.4 He cordially greets you as do I. Glück auf den Reise [Good luck for the journey]!
On the whole, come directly, dear Ng; that is, as soon (and as far) as you can. I will write nothing more till I see your Letter at Usedom's;—of whh, once more, this was to be the Address
via Baron v. Usedom
Carsitz, Insel Rügen,
Rosdal knows of our movements, and has been extremely kind;—proposed even a "telegraphic question to Leipzig" (as to your being come thither): but that I now see to be superfluous
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

John Lennon wisely said, "Life is what happens when you're making other plans." He was right, of course. Most of us are constantly experiencing high levels of anxiety and depression due to life's problems. A recent study showed that many people who are being treated with depression medication aren't suffering from chemical depression at all; they are depressed because of life circumstances.
Your problems can cause you to suffer from anxiety and depression. A few of your problems may be out of your control. However, most of life's problems can be solved. Determining which of your problems can be solved (and then solving them) can provide a dramatic reduction in your stress levels.
Many anxious people know there is a reason for their anxiety. They also may know their anxiety could be relieved by solving a problem in their life. They may be fearful of solving the problem. Many people have a profound "fear of regret." They are afraid that if they walk away from a bad situation, they will be sorry later.
Some people have problems that can be easily solved. For example:
Jack has been falling behind in his college classes because he's been procrastinating with his reading assignments and term papers. He's three assignments behind and his teachers are leaning on him. Jack is afraid that he will have to drop all of his classes. If this happens, the college may put him on academic probation or take away his scholarship money. Jack knows that he can solve the problem simply by catching up on his assignments and working harder. However, every time he sits down to study, he is too anxious to accomplish anything. Jack could completely solve his problem by spending a week doing nothing, but catching up on his school work.
Susan is experiencing severe anxiety over her household budget. She works full-time and has three children. Even though she makes a decent salary, she never manages to stay within her budget. Susan doesn't realize that her financial stress is being caused by her inability to properly shop for, plan and cook meals. Susan never manages to effectively plan meals so her budget is overrun with take-out and restaurant expenses. She can never manage to prepare bagged lunches for her children to take to school. She spends a lot of money at the grocery store, but ends out throwing out most of the food when she fails to make meals with it. Susan doesn't know that many of her financial problems would go away if she just learned to make a meal plan and stick with it.
Sometimes the devil is in the details. Mary Hunt, an author of frugal books, wrote that if you think that you are spending $400 on food a month, you are probably really spending $800.
Others may have bigger problems that could be solved with more effort:
Tammy has been suffering from extreme anxiety and depression that worsens every day. She has to work two jobs and she still can't pay her bills. She gets calls from collection companies daily. She's fallen three payments behind on her mortgage and the bank is threatening to foreclose on her. Her credit cards are maxed out. Tammy is completely exhausted and feels like she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She recently visited a debt counselor who closely examined her finances. His observations were grim. Tammy is severely overextended. She cannot afford her expensive house. The interest rates on her credit cards are so high that there is no realistic way that she will ever be able to pay them off, even if she works 4 full-time jobs. He recommended that Tammy file for bankruptcy and let go of the house. If Tammy listened to his advice, her anxiety levels would be greatly reduced. She could get an affordable apartment and rebuild her credit. Tammy would be much happier if she would just let go of everything that is making her miserable. Her house is no longer giving her pleasure; it's dragging her down. Tammy worries that if she gives up her house she'll never be able to get another one. This is an irrational worry. Millions of people have been able to successfully buy another home after bankruptcy.
Jane has a difficult relationship with her husband, Thomas. Their marriage has been rough since the beginning. Thomas often flies into rages about the smallest of things. After a disagreement, Thomas "punishes" Jane by giving her the silent treatment for weeks and sometimes months. Thomas displays incredible stamina for abuse. They haven't had sexual relations for over 5 years. Thomas claims that he can't perform sexually because he is "so angry" with Jane. Jane doesn't want to give up her marriage, even though the marital tension has ruined her mental and physical health. Thomas refuses to see a marriage counselor and insists that the marital trouble is caused by Jane. Jane doesn't want to believe that the marriage will never improve. She tries to do nice things for Thomas in an attempt to get him to love her. She holds onto the hope that Thomas will change and they'll live happily ever after. Jane doesn't realize how happy her life would be if she had the courage to leave Thomas and start a new life. She keeps hanging on to Thomas and her anxiety worsens by the day.
Look for Underlying Reasons for your Anxiety and Depression
Maybe you have anxiety because you have an expensive car payment you can't afford. Maybe you are stressed out because you, like Tammy, have purchased a house that is out of your financial grasp. Maybe you have a friend who is draining you dry emotionally. You need to find out what is making you anxious and correct it before you start suffering from physical symptoms.
Stress can have a huge impact on your physical health. You can develop high blood pressure, heart disease or even cancer. Your health is more important than any house, car, job or relationship. When you don't have your health, nothing else matters.
If a house is making you nervous, get rid of it and find a more affordable apartment. You can always buy another house later when your finances improve. If your marriage is irreparable, consider getting a divorce. Maybe you'll end up meeting your true soul mate. A good paying job with a bullying manager won't benefit you if it causes you to have a stroke.
An Anxiety or Depression Journal Can be Helpful
Keep an Anxiety or Depression Journal to explore reasons for your anxiety – Sometimes we're too close to a situation and are unable to see it clearly. You may think you know what is causing your anxiety or depression, but your reasoning may be incorrect. It really helps to just write it all down in a notebook and examine your notes after a few weeks.
You don't have to buy a fancy journal. A $1 notebook will do.
Many psychologists and mental health professionals recommend keeping a depression or anxiety journal to help you put things in perspective. Start your anxiety journal today. Write about anything that you want. Write about what makes you anxious, what makes you depressed, what makes you happy. Focus on the good things in your life as well as the bad. Sometimes it might seem that there is no good in your life. However, if you look closely, you'll probably see many good things you should be happy about.
Explore and write about the reasons you are anxious and unhappy. How can you correct these things? Brainstorm for a resolution to your problems. Make sure you try hard to find a doable solution. Your life and happiness depends on it!
Make Sure your Life is Free of "Traps" and "Chain Reactions"
Is there something or someone in your life that is preventing you from being happy? Maybe your budget is out of whack because you are overburdened by high gas prices. Sure, you love your big truck, but if it's costing you $500 in monthly gas expenses, it may be time to investigate buying a small, fuel-efficient car. It doesn't have to be permanent. Maybe gas prices will go down in the future or maybe you'll make more money and then gas prices won't be an issue and then you can buy a big truck again. Be proactive. Pull yourself out of these traps. Don't just wait around for them to resolve themselves.
Take a Small Step Today to resolve your situation
You don't have to start with big dramatic and scary steps to cure your anxiety and depression. Just stick one toe in the water and see how it feels. If your cluttered house is making you anxious, don't immediately throw out everything. Find a small area to clean. See how it makes you feel to look at that one small and orderly area. If it feels good, do some more! If your house has a mountain of paperwork, try throwing out 20 pieces every day. It will take some time, but you'll get there!
If you are suffering in a bad marriage, talk to a counselor. Or better yet, make an appointment with a divorce lawyer. You may be delaying the inevitable (and harming your health and happiness) because you think that obtaining a divorce will be extremely difficult and painful. Maybe it really won't be. Maybe the divorce will make you a happier and healthier person.
If your job is a nightmare, send out a single resume today. It won't be much work and you'll feel like you are gaining control of your life, which will relieve your constant anxiety. Every day, send out another one and soon your situation will be better. People with constant anxiety often feel like their lives are out of control. Taking a small step towards improving your situation every day will put you back in control of your life.
Make a to-do list and stick with it – If you want to conquer your anxiety, you have to stop being a victim of your own procrastination. Yoda said, "Do or do not. There is no try." Listen to Yoda; he was very wise. If you are behind on your homework, make a list of what you want to get accomplished today. If your house is a mess, write down a few tasks to do. Make a realistic list. Making an overly ambitious list defeats the purpose, as you'll probably be too overwhelmed to complete it. Do not deviate from that list. Even if you have to stay up to midnight, make sure the items on your list get accomplished. Avoid the internet, phone and television until everything is completed. The anxiety and depression relief you receive from getting things done will be incredible.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: a novel set in the '50s; an old favorite on CD; Palin on journalism in a novel; a wonderfully grim French DVD; wacky yet moving novel about rehab; and magical short stories.
Is This Tomorrow? by Caroline Leavitt
I came of age in the '50s but am always shocked when a novel takes me back to those repressive, conservative times. (How far we've come, and thank God for it!)Ava Lark doesn't fit into her suburban neighborhood; she's poor, sexy, divorced, a single mother, and a Jew to boot. Her 12 year old son, Lewis, finds his only friends in siblings Rose and Jimmy, across the street. Their mother, Dot, is widowed and Catholic (much more acceptable but still…). Jimmy vanishes, no clues, Dot and Rose move away, and it's misery all around. A complex web of relationship underlie all three; Jimmy was love with Ava, Rose in love with Lewis, and Lewis yearned for his absent father. Through the years the characters live out their lonely destinies and when they finally reconnect, truths are revealed, both shocking and somewhat healing. Very moving.
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
Another old favorite I revisited on CD. Here's what I wrote about the book in 2009: Alice is a professor at Harvard. So's her husband. She's 50. A hole in her brain appears where a word should be: lexicon, ironically. (Her field is linguistics.) She gets lost two blocks from home. No, it's not a symptom of menopause but early onset Alzheimers. She tries to cover for a while, then can't. Her daughter Lydia is pursuing acting rather than academics—a disappointment. Things get very tense at home, no surprise. And her world shrinks radically after she has to stop working; it's tedious, messy, and her husband is increasingly resentful. Their summer house feels like a stranger's. For a while she can still read, but only plays. Her husband takes a job in NYC but she kind of manages back in Cambridge with full-time care and her daughters and now twin grandchildren (in vitro fetuses which were screened and the two free of the gene were implanted). Though much remains elusive, she can still connect with the babies and Lydia's work, amazingly. Still Alice, indeed. Very moving. And it works just fine in the ear as on the page.
The Truth by Michael Palin
In addition to being a brilliant comic (oh those Pythons), Palin is fine novelist. Here the subject of the title goes head to head with journalism, that murky field that many assume presents "the facts." Keith has just produced a white-washed "history" of an oil company so he welcomes the opportunity to write the definitive biography of an elusive environmental hero whom he has to track down with a detective's skill. Guess what: there's an agenda behind the commission and again Keith is plastered against the wall of economic necessity versus conscience. Fascinating denouement that had me cheering for comeuppance.
Many friends wouldn't touch this DVD with a 10 foot pole: too depressing. But I gobbled it up. What does love look like when you're old, French, respectable, repressed, and the wife is struck down with a debilitating stroke? Not pretty. At first incomprehension, then grim, frustrating caretaking. The grotesque "dance" of supporting her faltering steps or hauling her off the toilet. The feeding, until she turns her head away in fury. The nightmarishly chipper, insensitive aide. The daughter who wants to put her mother in an institution. Finally it's just the couple sunk into desuetude and despair until her husband commits the final , shocking act of "love." Incredible actors (Trenignant, Riva, Huppert), luminous cinematography, and an unflinching look at one version of the end.
Tumbledown by Robert Boswell
I fell in love with the extremely eccentric, dysfunctional characters who populate Onyx Springs, a rehab facility inland in San Diego. This includes both sides of the fence: staff and clients. Jimmy seems to have it all together, a counselor on the way up. But why did he buy that crass macmansion and the uncomfortable Porsche Boxter? And until his fiancée Lolly shows up, why is he dallying with Lise, whom he doesn't recognize from his past life? His childhood friend Billy, down on his luck, gets a room and a job with him and that seems golden too, until it isn't. And oh the Onyx denizens, among them young, handsome, schizophrenic Mick; young, beautiful, retarded Karly (are they really engaged?); and misanthropic Vex who can fix anything but has some (ahem) anger management issues. The shadow of Pook, Jimmy's older brother, who committed suicide and made amazing outsider art, hangs over everything. One of those multiple endings that only happen in fiction (unless you believe in multiple universes). Wacky and moving—a tasty combo if you have a taste for the grotesque.
The Color Master: Stories by Aimee Bender
These combine the fantastic and the seemingly quotidian in surprising ways. The title story is pure, timeless fantasy, a variation on the fairy tale that demands sun, moon dresses and rock shoes. Often the narrators are teenagers, with their flat, cynical delivery, perfect pitch. Apples, tigers, lemonade are all springboards for amazing tales. Highly recommended.
Back next Monday.
Always such a pleasure browsing these just-the-right-size reviews with Neshama's pithy insight and marvelous wit and lovely literary skill. Thank you!!!!

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Early voting continues across town in Laredo's Community College's Bond Election.
On Tuesday, a total of 217 people cast their ballots. That brings the two-day total to 552.
If approved, the college would be able to borrow $100 million for improvements to their two campuses. This includes improving existing buildings, and building new classrooms and facilities.
It doesn't come without a price tag. If approved, taxpayers living in the LCC limits would see their property tax bills go up.

Good choice BTW, and a wise choice. You done good girl.

Good choice BTW, and a wise choice. You done good girl.
wish they made an all black P238 SAS. or just a dehorned standard nitron. the stainless look isn't my thing on a handgun. love the wood though.
When I rack the slide and have the safety ON, it does NOT fire.
When I flip the safety off, it does.
When I manually pull back the hammer all the way, then flip the safety on, it does NOT fire.
When I flip the safety off, it does.
The WEIRD part is that I can pull the hammer back halfway, and with the safety on, it DOES fire. Or at least clicks and feels like it is. It does this with both the safety on and off.
Also, sometimes it lets me rack the slide with the safety on and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, it knocks the hammer back in this same weird halfway position, and still fires when I pull the trigger, even thought the safety on.
Anyone have any idea what this is? Maybe it's not actually firing? But when I pull the trigger, the hammer springs back and it makes a click sound, like it's firing....
Does this make sense? I made a video showing it, but my internet is god-awful slow tonight and I didn't have the patience to upload it.
Ok, now it's clear. Your p238 is operating normally.
The weird thing you observed is the "half-cock" feature on the p238 and on 1911s. When you pull the trigger with the safety off while there hammer is half-cocked, it will allow the hammer to fall from the half cock ledge, though there should not enough travel to result in enough force to ignite a primer on a live round. Although, YOU DO NOT WANT TO TEST THIS!!!
You really should ideally NEVER have your hammer in this position. You need to learn the "manual of arms" (how to handle it properly) for your particular weapon and live by it, or you just might DIE by it. Seriously.
Not to fear, the manual of arms for a 1911 style gun isn't rocket science. And It's great to see a new gun owner interested in the nuts and bolts operation of the mechanisms and discover all the ways it can and cannot function Just keep in mind it was designed to function a certain way and it's best to stick with the manual of arms.
For you to get it half-cocked, you had to rack the slide with the safety up and the hammer down. There is no reason to ever do this, but if you do it: Just drop the safety and rack the slide all the way back or pull the hammer all the way back with your thumb, fully engaging the hammer, then reengage your safety. I have to reiterate...there is no reason to mess around with the half-cock setting on your gun. Your hammer should either be all the way back or all the way forward.
The half-cock feature is there as another safety. This safety keeps the hammer from falling all the way forward and cooking off a round on accident if your thumb accidentally slips while trying to manually pull the hammer all the way back on a live round or when manually dropping the hammer on a live round (which is not advised!!! although, some people do this to their 1911s because they are scared to carry in condition 1. these people live dangerously in many senses of the word).
There is nothing wrong with your gun...just the way you are handling it. So here it is:
If you want to pull the hammer back, make sure it is unloaded and the safety is off. You don't want to put it into half cock.
If you want to rack the slide, make sure either (1) the safety is off or (2) the hammer is already back. (if the hammer is already back, then it doesn't matter if the safety is on or off, to rack the slide).
Basically, you need training on this platform because you are putting unwanted stress on the finely fitted parts. Will doing what you're doing hurt it? Probably not, it's a Sig :smile:. Do you want to keep handling your nice new firearm improperly. Nope! Just understand that the internal parts, such as the sear engagement, on 1911 style guns are ground down to 1000ths of an inch, and if one adds unnecessary stress to these metal parts, they will wear out and create a potentially dangerous situation.
Be well, Be safe, and Gratz on your Sig. Go get some training, it will prove invaluable. Learn all you can about the function, construction, and operation of the different parts, and don't abuse them. Firearms are truly amazing machines. You could grow to love yours, I know I love mine. :embarassed:
p.s. DON'T HALF COCK THAT GUN! :aargh4:
Congrats on your new pistol. Welcome to the addiction.
The fact that, with the hammer fully cocked, you can load, unload, and clear the gun with out the possibility of it going off is a huge safety feature.
I taught my wife to load the pistol:
- Rack the slide with no magazine in it. Leave the hammer cocked.
- Put the safety on.
- Insert the magazine and tap it to make sure it's seated.
- Pull the slide all the way back and release it.
- Look in the side to verify brass or nickel shows the chamber is loaded.
- Holster it and leave it there unless it's needed.
There are all sorts of variations. The bottom line is the only time she needs to flick the safety off is if she is going to shoot it.
Congrat's on the purchase.
Really, though, if you have the slightest doubt or confusion, find someone who is familiar with that sort of handgun and ask for advice. You will learn faster with a "known good" than with a "well, maybe it's good".
I recall sitting in a hotel room that overlooked a hospital, the staff parking lot, and the sidewalk between, and watching the staff going to and from. Few were really aware of what was around them (meaning it would be a rich hunting grounds). Interesting body language, too.
You are stronger than I am to keep going in, day after day. Salute, lady.
Congratulations! I love my Sig, hope yours brings you many years of fun and comfortable protection.
As for ammunition, there's a pretty good thread in the ballistics section about quality SD ammunition.
In my opinion, you just purchased the most reliable and best shooting modern-day .380 in the firearms market. Enjoy.
As a first time gun owner you will, no doubt, have many other guns in your stash before you are finished with this addiction to things that go "bang!" Enjoy it, pay whatever you want for the one(s) you want and, if there are more Sigs in your future, you will have a collection of one of the best guns ever made on this planet. And remember, if everyone loved Fords, there would be no Chevys on the road! Good shooting to you.:35:
Range update? I have been looking at different 380's lately and cannot decide. bunker

God, to those who have hunger, give bread,
and in those who have bread, create hunger for justice"
Latin American Prayer
The Hunger Network in Ohio
is a faith-based, not-for-profit, advocacy organization dedicated to
ending hunger in Ohio through changing conditions that cause poverty.
Although recognizing the value of emergency responses to the
nutritional needs--such food pantries, soup kitchens, etc.--we are
especially committed to enabling these precarious families to progress
from dependence to ultimately self-sufficiency. This often requires
incremental steps, such as participation in food stamp and school
breakfast/lunch programs. Long-term, we support developmental
approaches to economic rehabilitation of those who are suffering. These
include long-term case work, job training and helping to locate jobs,
housing stability, transitional medical services and child care, etc.
We acknowledge that while "charity" (giving people what they need at
the moment) is often necessary, "justice" (countering an imbalanced
social structure designed to favor the "haves" over the "have-nots") is
essential. Thus, we address the fundamental problem of severe poverty
as calling for human compassion and economic fairness.
We do this by informing, educating, motivating,
empowering, and mobilizing "advocates." These are usually church people
who want to move from mere handouts to individuals in dire straits to
changing social systems that unfavorably represent and repress
possibilities for them to take better charge of their own lives.
This includes direct visits with legislators and
testimony before the legislature, as well as use of the internet to
share information on pending bills with hunger implications. And we
also offer study materials on complex conditions and likely
resolutions. Our principal commitment is serving as a catalyst for
empowering people and communities of faith to fully and effectively
join elected officials in mutual determination to end hunger in Ohio.
An immediate and often rewarding way for
interested person to become involved is to join us at the Statehouse
where meeting are regularly scheduled with legislators. Appointments
are scheduled weekly between representatives of the faith community and
members of the Ohio General Assembly. Gatherings include clergy,
judicatory leaders, congregational layperson and, increasingly,
community ministry and food pantry workers and clients. While push
particular positions on hunger-related issues, we seek primarily to
develop vital connections with senators and house members, cultivate
long-term trust, and explore common approaches to reducing poverty.
"Tuesday at the Statehouse" brings persons of
faith and conviction to Ohio seat of government in Columbus to work
with and on behalf of vulnerable Ohioans. Increasingly we are dedicated
to assisting advocates to mobilize within local communities and setting
up legislative visits within their districts across the State. And we
are also annually visit and bear witness to anti-hunger and
anti-poverty legislation in Ohio congressional offices in Washington,

In order to make
information about hunger-related issues more readily available, the
Hunger Network in Ohio recent initiated an Electronic Public Policy
Network. It is designed to be in touch with interested persons as soon
as public policies are introduced and prime opportunities are available
to influence legislators. It also offers background information and
reference to parallel efforts of other organizations as well as invites
comments, questions, and interaction.
Because of increasing
restrictions on this way of communicating these days, we need to be
sure that you want to receive our messages and we need a request
directly from you. So please, email us immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com

Aug 2 2012
The amount of company cars has steadily fallen in recent years, dropping from 970,000 taxable ones in 2009/10 to 950,000 in 2010/11.
These estimates from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reveal a fall of more than 20% in eight years from 1.2 million company cars in 2004/05.
The data on Benefit in Kind also revealed risk fleet figures from the FN50 - the top 50 leasing companies by size. They show 990,000 cars were leased in 2011, which is higher than HMRC's estimation.
Leasing firms will have leased out more cars to businesses outside the top 50, and a large number of fleets will buy cars outright, all of which will raise the figure.
The Government's plans for company car taxation have been blamed for the recent fall by Alastair Kendrick, tax director at MHA MacIntyre Hudson LLP.
Mr Kendrick said leasing car costs will go up as capital allowance relief on cars will be adjusted from next April, so cars emitting CO2 above 130 grams (the present level being 160 grams) will get a 15% restriction.

College Hockey:First Night Celebration: MacArthur Leads BU over Massachusetts-Lowell
Given that Massachusetts-Lowell's lineup features two sophomores, no freshmen, and only one player under 21 years of age, Boston University came into Saturday's season opener with a little anxiety on the experience front.
With co-captain and 2004-05 leading scorer David Van der Gulik sidelined indefinitely due to injury — plus senior John Laliberte out after a questionable game disqualification in an exhibition last week — Terrier coach Jack Parker "hemmed and hawed" before settling on a first line that included freshmen Jason Lawrence and Chris Higgins.
When the ice chips settled, BU emerged with a 3-1 victory in front of a crowd of 6,058 at Agganis Arena, and Higgins notched the game-winning goal by potting a rebound of a shot by his freshman linemate.
Peter MacArthur scored two goals, while John Curry stopped 18 of 19 shots as the Terriers pulled off a surprisingly convincing performance, outshooting the River Hawks by a telling margin of 34-19. Ironically, Lowell's one standout performer was the only under-21 player on the roster, goalie Peter Vetri.
"I was anxious to see how we were going to play because we were playing our first real game," Parker said. "Lowell had already played two games and has got a lot of seniors and juniors, and we're a little depleted with our senior forwards. It was going to be a real test for our team; I think Lowell's going to be fighting for the top four all year long.
"Overall I was real pleased with our legs and how we were pretty physical. We got good goaltending, and the thing that really jumped out at me was how well the freshmen played — [Brandon] Yip, Higgins and Lawrence. They were at the top of their game. Lawrence was very sharp, and Higgins was very clever. And obviously MacArthur had a good night."
For River Hawk coach Blaise MacDonald, the game proved to be an exercise in frustration. "It looked like a typical BU team — came at us with a lot of speed, grit, and determination — and it was painfully obvious that we couldn't match their will," MacDonald said. "Peter Vetri played very well for us, but he was on an island.
"It doesn't surprise me that BU is ready because they've got a tremendous coaching staff that does a great job. I think they've got 11 freshmen and sophomores playing; we had 16 juniors and seniors, and you would've never known it based on tonight's performance. They were everything we want to be."
Initially it looked like it might be a tough night for the Terriers, especially when Ryan Monaghan was sent off for a five-minute major with a game misconduct on a legitimate hitting-from-behind penalty on his first shift of the season at 2:47. However, the Terriers did an excellent job of killing the lengthy power play.
The River Hawks almost got a fluke goal at 8:20 when a pass caromed off the leg of a Lowell forward and hit the post on Curry's glove side. Then, halfway through the period, Lowell took the lead following a delayed penalty. The second line of Jason Tejchma, Bobby Robins, and Jeremy Hall raced in on the left-wing side, and Hall potted a rebound from the slot for the 1-0 lead.
The rest of the period was all BU despite no evidence of that on the scoreboard. Bryan "Boomer" Ewing undressed Tejchma with a great move at 14:40, and Lawrence followed with an excellent move to beat Cleve Kinley and draw a penalty, but Vetri kept the Terriers off the scoreboard through the first frame.
"I loved the way we responded in the first period," Parker said. "Even though we came out losing one-nothing, I thought it was our best period as far as pace and getting on them and getting a lot of opportunities."
BU's offense came alive in the second stanza, as MacArthur's first goal tied the game up at 5:49. The sophomore was only on the ice because Ken Roche had just broken a stick.
Said MacArthur, "I really got pretty lucky: Rochey broke his stick on a one-timer, and I hopped on the ice for him. Spanger hit me at the top of the blue line, and we had a bunch of guys in front of the net: Yipper did a great job of screening the goaltender. It wasn't a great shot, but the goalie couldn't see it. If he can't see it, he can't stop it."
A great pass by Lawrence set up Higgins at 11:45, but Vetri stopped that one only to have Higgins get his revenge 30 seconds later. Kevin Kielt drove toward the net and took a shot, but Vetri stopped that one as well as Lawrence's bid on the first rebound. Higgins got the second rebound and backhanded it home for the 2-1 lead.
Less than three minutes later, MacArthur got his second of the night.
"The second one — got another lucky break," MacArthur said. "Hopped on the ice for a three-on-two break — great pass by McGuirk on the give-and-go, and I think Vetri was screened on that one also."
Asked if he started thinking about gunning for a hat trick, the sophomore was adamant. "I've told you guys before: I'm not going to think about scoring goals because I did that last year, and I didn't score one for about 20 games. We're just focused on getting the win."
With the exception of Elias Godoy getting called for the game's second five-minute major for hitting from behind, the third period was relatively uneventful. The main story for those final 20 minutes was the Terriers' penalty killing and the River Hawks' inability to generate much offense with the man-advantage.
"It was a sour play," MacDonald said of his team's power play. "Clean entries, winning faceoffs on the power play, competing for loose pucks — that's what makes for good power plays, and we had none of that."
Terrier co-captain Brad Zancanaro had something to do with that. "I thought our best player tonight-and I don't know if he got a point-was Zancanaro," Parker said. "He was absolutely fabulous tonight: killing penalties, power play, got a lot of ice time and played with a lot of energy against Godoy's line.
"That was a little hairy, too: Should I play two freshmen forwards against their best offensive line? But my best defensive center is Zanc, so. And they played very well."
The Terriers (1-0-0; 1-0-0) host Rensselaer in a nonconference game on Friday night, while the River Hawks (1-2-0, 0-1-0) continue league play with a home-and-home series against Providence next weekend.

The orbiter payload bay contained only the Chandra spacecraft, the IUS, and the IUS tilt tableTthe following payloads were carried in the shuttle�s cabin: STL-B (Space Tissue Loss), CCM (Cell culture module), SAREX-II (Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment), EarthKam, PGIM (Plant Growth Investigations in Microgravity), CGBA (Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus), MEMS (Micro-electric Mechanical System), and BRIC (Biological Research in Canisters) and SWUIS (the Southwest Ultraviolet Imaging System, an 0.18-m UV telescope to be used for airglow and planetary observations); GOSAMR (the Gelation of Sols: Applied Microgravity Research experiment) and LFSAH, the Lightweight Flexible Solar Array Hinge. MSX and SIMPLEX experiments were also to be carried out.
Chandra/IUS-27 was deployed from Columbia at 11:47 GMT July 23. Flight duration was limited; this was the heaviest shuttle (122,534 kg) and heaviest payload (19,736 kg) to that date. Columbia landed at 03:20 GMT on July 28 on runway 33 at Kennedy Space Center. Post-flight inspection found the presence of holes in the cooling lines on the nozzle of SSME 2019 (engine 3) which caused a hydrogen leak. A loose repair pin in the engine broke free and caused the failure. The cause of the short was found to be chaffed wiring inside the shuttle. The entire fleet was grounded for inspection and replacement of wiring as necessary.
GOES 12 was a 980 kg, 973 W spacecraft that carried an IR imager, a "sounder", and an X-ray imager. The IR imager was a Cassegrain telescope covering five wavelength channels, 0.55-0.75, 3.80-4.00, 6.50-7.00, 10.20-11.20, and 11.50-12.50 microns. It provided images covering 3,000 km x 3,000 km every 41 seconds, by scanning the area in 16 square kilometer sections. The "sounder" provided vertical distribution of temperature, moisture and ozone, by passive monitoring in 18 depth-dependent wavelengths. (Long wave IR: 14.71, 14.37, 14.06, 13.64, 13.37, 12.66, and 12.02 microns. Medium wave IR: 11.03, 9.71, 7.43, 7.02, and 6.51 microns. Short wave IR: 4.57, 4.52, 4.45, 4.13, 3.98, and 3.74 microns. There was also another band at visible wavelength 0.7 microns, to provide pictures of cloud tops.) The sounder covered an area of 3,000 km x 3,000 km in about 42 minutes. Another instrument package named SEM (Space Environment Monitor) monitored the energetic electrons and protons in the magnetosphere and the X-rays from the Sun. The above three had been carried on the earlier GOES missions, but GOES 12 carried also an X-ray imager providing an X-ray (about 0.1-1.0 nm wavelength) picture of the solar disk. For some months, the spacecraft was to be on standby, to be activated and moved to a desired longitude. As of 5 September 2001 located at 89.93 deg W drifting at 0.001 deg W per day. As of 2007 Mar 11 located at 74.73W drifting at 0.014E degrees per day.

When ex ante price regulation based on a measure of 'fair and reasonable' is imposed on any communication provider, it is preferable that both the operator and its customers can refer to an authoritative source for what the term means in practice. For that reason alone, BT will welcome the publication of Ofcom's proposed guidance.
On the guidance itself, BT has no substantive comment to make. BT has long argued that voice call termination should be priced at cost and not be used to subsidise other services, and we are pleased to see this principle being applied here. In any case, once the benchmark, regulated mobile termination rate reaches appropriately cost-based levels (as we expect from Ofcom's current proposals in the market review), mobile voice call termination will cease to be a potential source of such subsidy.
However, we would like to draw attention to two areas for which, we believe, the guidance will have implications.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 18 October 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18481018-TC-JAC-01; CL 23: 134-136
Chelsea, 18 Octr, 1848—
My dear Brother,
I have intended you a Letter for some days; but not till now, when a word from Emerson practically applying to you has arrived,1 could my pious small purpose ripen to activity. I have been much beaten about with what our Mother calls "ae trade and another," and day after day passes, in a confused manner, without effect.— Emerson's report of Yankee negociations need not distress you at all: perhaps it is but the shortest way, this offer he has got, towards a result which in any case would have been essentially the same. Get your Preface done; and be thankful that you do not need ever to mind about "sales" and remunerations either there or here. That, and the getting of one's work done are surely grounds for thankfulness.
We have extremely wet, cold and wild weather here; and almost no other news at all. Cholera is babbled of in the Newspapers; but seems to be a small matter as yet (if indeed it be as yet a matter at all), and rational people do not speak of it, or that only in the most transient way. I saw Forster last week, ill of bile, as I myself very decidedly was; Southwood Smith, now some kind of constituted authority in Hygienics, had been palavering him to a great rate about the "pestilence in the whole air" &c:2 I cured myself at once by the easy method of one blue pill and a soda draught; Fuz too is now better, I suppose by the help of nature. What little we have to do in Cholera, should it actually visit us, we know fully; and the rest—is clearly peaceable silence. Southwood had furnished Fuz with a recipe of pills "pro re natâ [for an emergency]," should any grumbling occur of a suspicious character in the bowels:3 Fuz sent it to me with charges yesterday; I have got the pills, believing them to be insignificantly beneficial in such a contingency: "Hydrag creta gr ii, Quinin. sulph gr vi, Confect. Opiat. gr xxx"; mix optime, and make 12 pills,—pro re natâ. So much for Hygienics.
Jane has been in the house two days, on account of the weather; today she is out, in spite of the bitter frosty wind, occasionally spitting rain. She has now got her upholstering nearly done; you will not know the room again (she hopes)!4 I have got her Buffon's Hist. Nat. which she reads pleasantly in the evenings.5— Darwin I saw yesterday, cheerful tho' blue; Maurice another day, sad looking and shilpit [weak].6 None of them knows about Scott's chance, which seems in fact to be doubtful;7 Darwin was much charmed with Dr Carlyle's certificate especially; so brief, business-like, clear and wholly to the point.
My paper is fast ending! Jamie knows we shall want a little meal (n.b. I take no porridge or supper now); also Anthony Sterling wants a quantity,—10 stone, we have said: let it be of excellent quality, let either Jamie or the Miller furnish it, and charge the just market price, I have engaged to Anthony.— Alas, I want a thick massive Dressing-gown too, warm and reaching to the ancles; but I know not if Garthwaite will undertake it, I know not— In short I must end today, and take up the tale some other soon.— — How is my Mother? O take care of her in this wild temperature. Look into her clothing; see that you leave her warm-clad; I know not how her wardrobe stands of late, but do you ascertain and tell me!— Helen is coming on Saturday first.8— Our best love to one and all.
T. Carlyle

- Release Date: November 19, 1999
- Director: Michael Apted
- Main Actors: Pierce Brosnan, Sophie Marceau, Denise Richards
Its titled inspired by James Bond's family crest, The World Is Not Enough revolves around 007's efforts at stopping a ruthless anarchist (Robert Carlyle's Renard) from detonating a nuclear sub deep within the waters of Istanbul. In addition to appearances from usual suspects like M (Judi Dench), Q (Desmond Llewelyn) and Moneypenny (Samantha Bond), The World Is Not Enough features an eclectic gallery of costars that includes award-winning French actress Sophie Marceau, acclaimed hip-hop artist Goldie and sultry sexpot Denise Richards (cast as a tank top-wearing nuclear scientist!)
The World Is Not Enough opens with the longest pre-title series in the history of the James Bond series, and there's little doubt that it's also one of the best. The sequence, which follows Bond as he pursues an assassin through the waters of London's famed Thames river, has been augmented with precisely the sort of jaw-dropping stunts and tongue-in-cheek sensibilities that one has come to expect from the franchise, which certainly proves effective in setting the film apart from its less-than-stellar predecessor (1997's Tomorrow Never Dies). And although The World Is Not Enough remains tied with GoldenEye as Pierce Brosnan's most successful and flat-out entertaining Bond outing, the film found itself hit with a barrage of exceedingly mixed reviews -- with Denise Richards' work often singled out as the low point of the proceedings (Entertainment Weekly even named her the worst Bond babe of all time). The movie does have its fans, however, with Roger Ebert in particular labeling it a "splendid comic thriller" that is "exciting and graceful, endlessly inventive."
The World Is Not Enough, virtually from its opening frames, comes off as a marked attempt by the filmmakers to return James Bond to his escapist roots, as the film has been suffused with a number of elements that are certainly reminiscent of Sean Connery's run as the world's most famous secret agent. The grittiness that defined the Timothy Dalton era is almost completely absent, while the film never quite slips into the realm of self-parody that one now associates with Roger Moore's stint as James Bond. The final result is a satisfying adventure flick that boasts many attributes that the majority of male viewers will find irresistible, with the sequence in which 007 sleeps with his doctor to receive a clean bill of health undoubtedly ranking high on The World Is Not Enough's wish-fulfillment scale.

Shares of Amarin bounced off a 52-week low this morning, but one trader is selling the upside.
The June 11 calls dominate the options trade. Our data systems show that a trader sold 5,000 of those calls for $0.18. The volume is twice the open interest, so this is a new position. The call selling is well out of the money, so it could be done naked with an initial bearish bias.
The naked short call has a negative delta, but can make a profit with shares anywhere below $11 at expiration. (See our Education Section.) It is also possible that the calls were sold against long shares as a covered call. That would be bullish up to the strike, but not beyond.
AMRN rose 1.94 percent to $7.10 in morning trading after hitting a 52-week low $6.77 earlier in the session. Shares were above $12 in early December before gapping down.

I'm still confused as to how Habermas would relate the Public Sphere debate to the idea of the internet. Would he agree with it or not?ReplyDelete
