PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Marcus Moore, playing his first game in five weeks, scored 23 points Saturday to lead Washington State to a 98-76 victory over Washington.
Moore, who underwent ankle surgery Jan. 24, went 7-for-14 from the field, 3-for-6 on 3-pointers and 6-for-7 at the free-throw line.
Randy Green added 15 points and Jerry McNair scored 14 for the Cougars (7-18, 2-14 Pac-10), who won consecutive Pacific-10 Conference games for the first time since beating Oregon and Oregon State in February 2002.
Washington's Brandon Roy led with 17 points and seven rebounds. Roy scored 15 points in the second half, the most points against Washington (9-16, 4-12) in a half this season.
The Cougars outshot Washington 65-36 percent in the first half and 55-44 percent for the game. They also hit 52 percent of their 3-pointers and 80 percent of their free throws, compared to 25 and 57 percent, respectively.
WSU's Chris Schlatter and Thomas Kelati both added 11 points. Washington's Nate Robinson had 15 points while Will Conroy and Mike Jensen both added 13. Doug Wrenn had nine points before picking up a technical foul and fouling out with 8:25 to go.
The Cougars were never seriously threatened after an 11-1 spurt gave them a 15-7 lead. Two 3-pointers by Jensen fueled a 10-0 run that narrowed WSU's lead to 54-44 early in the second half, but the Huskies never drew closer.

The Gospel of False Assurance, and More Evidence of the Slippery Slope
July 16, 2012 | 8 Comments
Dr. Brown continues to examine the message of false assurance that tells unrepentant sinners that they are assured of God's salvation if they claim to have once been saved, and then comments on the new Showtime reality TV show featuring "polyamorous" families.
Hour 1:
Dr. Brown's Bottom Line: Let us not be like the false prophets of Israel who said to God's sinning people, "Peace! Peace!" when there was no peace. Let's tell the truth in love, and the power of the Spirit will leave the consequences to God.
Hour 2:
Dr. Brown's Bottom Line: God said to Jeremiah, "Go back to the ancient past." God established in the law not to move the boundary stones. We tamper with the boundary stones, the ancient foundation is at our own peril.

Hello Dr Brown
Looking forward to downloading this programme today.
BTW, I listened to the 4th July show and was v interested in Hobby Lobby.
We have a chain of toy shops in the UK that has very similar Christian witness, and it's attracted lots of publicity over the years:
You'll find these stories interesting, and perhaps Mr Grant would speak to you about his stand for Jesus.

The program was good today. You are very clear and I think that you make very strong arguments using great examples from real life. I love listening to experiences that you had in life. I think that according to God's Word , our goal is to become a new creation. 1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God's own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
July 17th, 2012 @ 4:08 pm
Thank you Dr. Brown for taking a strong Biblical stand against the gospel of false assurance that is so prevalent today. I think you may already know that other leading Christian Pastors are teaching the same false assurance gospel as Chambers and his Pastor. For example, Pastor Tony Evans writes:
In Verse 19-21 of Galatians 5, Paul gives three basic categories of sin that result from living for the flesh: sexual sins, superstitious sins, and social sins. This is not an exhaustive list, because he adds in verse 21, "and things like these." So no one can say, "Well, my stuff isn't on that list. I'm OK." … But enough of the sins of the flesh are accounted for to warrant this very strong conclusion: "Of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (v. 21b). . . . Christians who practice such things enter the kingdom, but they don't inherit the kingdom.
This is a very important distinction. There is a difference between entering the kingdom and inheriting the kingdom. . . . Christians who persist in practicing fleshly living incur two losses. One is in this life and the other is in the life to come. The temporal loss is that they will not live full, productive lives. That could come about in a lot of different ways. It could be a family tragedy, an early death, or not having needs met because God is disciplining. And even though Christians in this condition get into the kingdom. They will not be granted the authority God wants to give them in the kingdom that is to come. (Returning to Your First Love, 75, 81-83)
Pastor Erwin Lutzer holds to a similar view:
Paul wrote, "For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolator, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." (Ephesians 5:5). Who are these people who will not have an "inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God"? In context, Paul is warning Christians about their behavior. He assume that Christians can be deceived and live like the "sons of disobedience." . . . If Paul meant that those who practice such vices will not enter the kingdom, our own assurance of final salvation would be in constant jeopardy. Any one of us could be overtaken by such a sin and die in disgrace.
Perhaps what Paul meant is this: Those who practice such sins will not be barred from entering the kingdom, but will be barred from inheriting it. If one or more of these sins characterizes their Christian lives, and they refuse to judge the evil, they will forfeit the honor of kingdom rule.
Similar teaching occurs in Paul's instructions to the church in Galatia [i.e., Galatians 5:19-21]. . . . I'm sure we would agree that when genuine Christians allow such sins to become a part of their lives, their reward will be diminished. (Your Eternal Reward: Triumph and Tears at the Judgment Seat of Christ, 69-71)
As you have rightly noted, these teachings give Christians a license for immorality. Thus, the dire need for leaders like you who will speak out against such false teachings.
May God continue to richly bless your ministry.

Just to say that 'Revolution in the Church' contains two chapters that are among (to me) some of the most important things Michael has said ; Chapters 5 and 10.
In chapter 5 Michael effectively calls disciples to 36 inch disciplehood (see Messiah's yardstick – Luke 14:25-35) ; in chapter 10,we have Michael saying the Way is not a new Gentile RELIGION called 'Christianity – no,it is a new,second,better covenant with Israel (established by their Messiah – Jesus).
If possible Michael,please could you think about putting those two chapters together – into an ebook. (Or perhaps writing two similar articles and having them as a free resource.)

Not only are you misrepresenting what others here believe, but you are refusing to comply with our guidelines — which everyone else abides by, including atheists and non-believers — and you are actually the one engaging in bullying tactics by refusing to comply and by making false accusations. Your comments will be moderated from here on, which is really unfortunate, and your last comment will be pulled. We told you repeatedly to find a thread where the topic was relevant and the debate was fine to have, but instead, you chose to do it your way and make a mockery of everyone else here who tries to play buy the rules. Something is just not right when that happens.

Customer Reviews
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it -- from garden seeds to Scripture -- is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
"Compelling, lyrical and utterly believable." - Chicago Tribune
"Haunting..A novel of character, a narrative shaped by keen-eyed women." - Front page, Verlyn Klinkenborg, New York Times Book Review
"Kingsolver's powerful new book is actually an old-fashioned 19th-century novel, a Hawthornian tale of sin and redemption and the `dark necessity' of history." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Most impressive are the humor and insight with which Kingsolver describes a global epic, proving just how personal the political can be." - Glamour

College Hockey:Killer Kill: Brown Takes Advantage Of Yale PK
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The most telling statistic in the Brown-Yale rematch at Ingalls Rink, was this: of the five goals given up by Yale, four were on a Brown power play — and even the fifth didn't quite come at even strength.
The Bears (10-6-3) went four for nine in power play chances and added an empty-net goal as they defeated the Bulldogs (3-16-1) 5-3 in front of 3,021 fans. Mike Meech scored his sixth, seventh, and eighth goals of the season in a hat-trick performance, while Bears goaltender Adam D'Alba picked up his eighth win of the season with a 32-save showing.
"Our goalie held us in there all night," said Meech. "We didn't come out as well as we wanted in the first period but we were fortunate to come out on top."
Brown came back from one-goal deficits twice during the course of the game, tying the game at 1-1 and 2-2 after being down. After Yale battled back to tie the game at 3-3 early in the third period, Meech's 5-on-3 power-play score gave the Bears a lead they would not relinquish.
"We've come back all year long," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo. "We've been down a lot and bounced back, and the guys have done it enough times that now they have confidence in those situations."
On the other hand, it was a promising sign for the Bulldogs that they managed to stay in the game as well. For the early part of the season, the Bulldogs had been a decidedly fragile team, unable to handle go-ahead goals by opponents and sitting back to allow blowout losses.
Friday, the Elis showed considerable mettle in taking the early lead and skating with the Bears throughout the game. Yale outshot the Bears 35-23, with goaltender Matt Modelski making 18 saves in net.
"They definitely didn't look like a team that has three wins," Meech said. "They looked like they're starting to put things together."
Everything, that is, except the penalty kill.
"We keep thinking we're getting better on the penalty kill but for some reason that still kills us," said rookie Jean-Francois Boucher, who notched his second goal of the season in the second period to give Yale the 2-1 lead at that point.
Yale head coach Tim Taylor was similarly frustrated with the success of the man-down unit.
"I'm sick to my stomach over our penalty-kill issues," he said. "It is a very clear Achilles' heel for this hockey team, and it was obviously the tale of this game."
The contest began well for Yale, as Christian Jensen scored a gritty unassisted goal after stickhandling the puck through the zone just 3:24 into the game.
Nearly ten minutes elapsed before Meech tied things up on a power play on an assist from Jeff Prough to put the teams at 1-1 going into the locker rooms.
In the final moments of a Yale power play on a kneeing penalty by Brown's Sean Dersch, Boucher took advantage of confusion in front of the net to bury the puck just as the man-up situation expired. Blair Yaworski and Zach Mayer earned assists on Boucher's goal that gave Yale the 2-1 lead.
Penalties to Boucher and defenseman Mike Grobe, however, gave the Bears a five-on-three opportunity that they converted when David Robertson beat Modelski 10:28 into the second to tie things at 2.
With one penalty wiped off the board, the Bears managed to score on the other one as well, as Brian McNary was set up by Adam Tichauer for Brown's first lead of the night at 3-2.
"On the whole, in terms of puck possession, positional play, and territorial advantage, it was a good effort," Taylor said. "I feel terrible for the kids, because it was pretty disheartening to have one element of our play determine the outcome of this hockey game."
While Brad Mills tied the game at 3 when he poked the puck over the goal line and past D'Alba, penalties on Bobby Burns and Nick Shalek 60 seconds apart allowed the Bears a full minute of five-on-three once again.
And for the second time in the game, it was Meech who came up with the goal, giving Brown a 4-3 lead 7:25 into the third.
"Mike's a kid that I'm so happy for," Grillo said. "He had some tough years but this season he's shown great leadership despite not being a captain. He's really stepped it up."
The Bulldogs had their share of almost-goals throughout the game, including a slapshot by Jensen that pinged off the post in the second period, a great chance for Mills with six minutes remaining in the game, and an open net with just over a minute to play when D'Alba got tripped up behind the Brown goal.
"We've had enough good outings to build upon, but we still haven't proven that we're a winning hockey team," Taylor said.
The Bears, on the other hand, are hoping that they are just beginning to roll in the final stretch. With improved first-period play, Meech noted, they won't find themselves in the position of having to rebound the way they did tonight.
The Elis regroup to take on archnemesis Harvard Saturday at 7 p.m., while Brown travels to Princeton for a matchup at the same time.
"We've got to pull out the positives from tonight and use them tomorrow," said Boucher.

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Bedford, England-based Charles Wells have put a unique twist on international brewing collaborations with DNA New World IPA and DNA UK.
First up, DNA New World. This 4.5% ABV India Pale Ale, brewed and distributed in England, is a marriage of East Coast USA and East Anglican UK brewing styles.
"Rather than simply mashing new ingredients together," says Tim Sprake, International Sales and Agency Director of Charles Wells, "we've taken a special reduction from 60 Minute IPA and integrated it into our own brewing process. In other words, we've taken the very DNA of one beer and added it to the brewing process of another. As a result, we've produced a beer that is unique and diverse and a little bit special."
DNA New World has a toasty, nutty start followed by a highly hopped, citrusy finish. It will be available in England on cask starting April 1 and will be bottled and kegged later this year.
The pioneering collaboration will be replicated on the other side of the Atlantic this summer when Dogfish Head brews a cask IPA using a yeast strain from Charles Wells. DNA UK will debut at Philadelphia Beer Week in June, and a team from both breweries will be on hand to celebrate the release.
"We have a mutual respect for Charles Wells," says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. "It's been great to work on this project together. We have a flair for originality and doing things a bit differently, and it's been terrific to explore a new addition to our craft beer range through such an exciting brewing initiative."

The elite Special Crimes Unit, the FBI's most controversial and effective team, is a group of mavericks and misfits trained to use their unique psychic abilities to hunt the worst monsters imaginable – human ones. Led by the enigmatic Noah Bishop, the SCU team has earned a reputation for pitting their skills and cunning against killers that other cops fear. But this time Bishop and his agents face an enemy who has them in his sights, a trained sniper with a deadly plan — and more than one ace up his sleeve.
It starts with an unspeakable series of grisly murders across three states, a trail of blood leading, finally, to the small Tennessee town of Serenade. There, two more brutal murders lure the SCU into what may be the ultimate trap.
One of the first investigators on the scene, Special Agent Hollis Templeton is willing to push herself as hard and as far as necessary. Risking more than her life to help and protect her fellow SCU members, Hollis is coping with psychic abilities that are evolving in unprecedented ways, an attraction to the most complex man she's ever known, and a serial murder investigation that has just turned very, very personal.
In her time with the SCU, Hollis has shown an uncanny ability to survive even the most deadly attacks. But what she doesn't count on is that this killer intends to destroy the team from within.
The clock is ticking. The body count is rising. And as Bishop and his agents race to uncover the identity of their true enemy, not even their special senses can warn them just how bloody, and how terrifyingly close, the truth will be.

Pepe Reina has stressed the importance of players' support on the 24th anniversary of Hillsborough.
The Spanish goalkeeper and the whole Liverpool squad will attend the annual memorial service at Anfield on Monday afternoon.
"It's a very important day for the club and we will be there to show our support for the families and remember the 96," said Reina.
"The families who have fought so hard had some good news last September with the Hillsborough Independent Panel report.
"Finally, there has been some progress but still justice hasn't been made. We will keep pushing for that."

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2012 Article IV Consultation with FrancePublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 12/146
December 21, 2012
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2012 Article IV Consultation with France is also available.
On December 20, 2012, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with France.1
The growth outlook for France remains fragile reflecting weak conditions in Europe. While market tensions have recently eased, the path towards a resolution of the euro area crisis remains uncertain and fiscal consolidation throughout Europe will continue to depress demand. In this environment, growth is expected to slow markedly from 1.7 percent in 2011 to 0.2 percent in 2012, and to recover only very gradually to 0.4 percent in 2013. With job creation remaining subdued, unemployment is expected to rise further.
The recovery of the French economy is also hampered by a loss of competitiveness which is reflected in a steady loss of export market share and low profit margins relative to European partners, which in turn affects the ability of enterprises to invest and innovate. The competitiveness gap owes largely to impediments in the functioning of labor and product markets (especially services) accumulated over time. To begin to address these problems, the government has announced a reduction of employers' social security contributions (to reduce labor costs), and has indicated that it would seek to make the labor market more adaptable based on the result of ongoing negotiations between the social partners.
The sizable fiscal consolidation which started in 2010 is continuing. The overall budget deficit is projected to come down from 7.5 percent of GDP in 2009 to 4.5 percent in 2012. The 2013 budget targets a further reduction of the deficit to 3 percent of GDP, with a view to reaching a balanced budget position over the medium term. Adjustment is heavily frontloaded and about equally divided (over the medium term) between revenue and expenditure measures. Based on the IMF's more conservative growth outlook, the 2013 budget would result in a deficit of 3.5 percent of GDP.
Financial stability concerns, which arose in connection with euro area tensions and dollar liquidity problems in 2011, have abated considerably. French banks have moved aggressively to improve their solvency ratios and funding structures; and they are well positioned to comply ahead of schedule with internationally-set capital requirements. However, banks remain heavily reliant on wholesale funding, which could become a vulnerability in the event of renewed market stress.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors welcomed the resilience of the French economy in withstanding relatively well the euro area crisis and enjoying a safe haven status. They noted, however, that economic growth remains sluggish and the near-term outlook is subject to downside risks. The main challenge going forward would be to further strengthen the recovery, while addressing the competitiveness gap vis-à-vis trading partners and safeguarding financial stability. In this context, Directors underscored the need to properly calibrate fiscal policy and remove structural rigidities that constrain competitiveness and growth.
Directors commended the authorities for their commitment to fiscal discipline in line with the euro-area stabilization strategy, and for the transposition of the EU Fiscal Compact into French law. They noted that the adoption of the fiscal responsibility law and creation of the Fiscal Council would strengthen credibility by anchoring fiscal policy to a balanced position over the medium term. Many Directors stressed that adherence to the EU's fiscal target in 2013 would be crucial to preserve credibility and market confidence, and advised that contingency measures be prepared should downside risks materialize. Other Directors encouraged the authorities to refrain from additional fiscal tightening in the event of slower-than-expected growth in 2013. Directors called for a rebalancing of fiscal adjustment over the medium term toward additional expenditure containment in a growth-friendly manner, stressing the adverse supply side effects of the high tax ratio.
Directors underscored the need to address the competitiveness gap through deep labor and product market reforms. They welcomed the authorities' recent decision to lower social security contributions, and recommended wage moderation as a supporting measure. They also welcomed the ongoing negotiations among social partners to improve the functioning of the labor market, and encouraged the authorities to move forward with the ambitious labor market reform. Directors also observed that greater competition in the services sector would help lower production costs and enhance the benefits of the labor market reform. They called on the authorities to open the services sector to more competition, while acknowledging the need for careful sequencing of the various reforms.
Directors noted the Financial System Stability Assessment's findings that the French financial system has been resilient to shocks and that financial stability risks have receded. They commended the authorities' strong regulatory and supervisory regime, and welcomed moves to boost financial oversight further, including at the European level. Directors welcomed the rapid improvements in bank capitalization and funding structures in the aftermath of the crisis. Nevertheless, they observed that banks remain exposed to the risk of financial stress owing to their still-significant reliance on wholesale funding and exposure to periphery euro-area countries. To stimulate deposit mobilization by banks, Directors encouraged further tax reform to create a level playing field and remove disincentives against bank deposits.

BOSTON -- Even the forward-thinking Leonardo da Vinci, who conceived of the first robot, would have had a difficult time imagining the robots used with increasing frequency in today's operating rooms.
With their crab-like arms, these futuristic-looking, $2 million-dollar machines enable surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through tiny incisions with a level of vision, precision, dexterity, and control that is unattainable with conventional surgery.
In the hands of well-trained, experienced surgeons, robotic surgery offers significant benefit to patients - among them shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, less pain, and faster recovery. Other benefits include improved 3-D visualization and dexterity during certain delicate procedures like prostate removal (prostatectomy) for cancer.
For these and other reasons, it is hardly surprising that growing numbers of patients are actively "shopping" around for doctors who perform robotic surgery. In fact, the percentage of patients undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy is now about 80 percent nationwide - and growing.
First-ever course in New England
As the demand for robot-assisted surgery increases so, too, does the need for programs to train surgical residents and fellows, who must learn and master an entirely new set of skills before they are ready to safely treat patients. Yet there are just a small handful of courses in the nation that offer them and, until very recently, none was in the Northeast.
As one of the busiest, most experienced, and comprehensive robotic surgery programs in the nation, the
Division of Urology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is taking the lead in training surgeons of the future. During the first weekend in May, BIDMC offered the first-ever training course in robotic surgery in New England.
Led by urologists
Andrew A. Wagner, MD, the course director, and
Martin Sanda, MD, the co-director, the free, two-day course attracted residents, fellows, and attending surgeons from throughout New England and beyond.
"We're regarded as a national leader in robotic urologic surgery and, as such, have a strong commitment to training surgeons of the future - a future that increasingly requires hands-on training in robotic surgery," says Wagner, who is Director of Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery at BIDMC.
Hands-on training
Taught by faculty from Harvard and Lahey Clinic, the course included lectures on robotic approaches to kidney, prostate, and bladder surgery, as well as hands-on sessions using four state-of-the-art, dual-console robotic systems loaned to the medical center by the manufacturer. Six simulation computers were also available.
During the hands-on sessions, attendees were able to practice and receive performance feedback on a variety of tasks aimed at improving their robotic skills, and gain confidence in procedure-specific robotic skills using a unique simulated tissue prostatectomy model. They also were taught practical tasks, such as how to set up patients in a robotic room, as well as troubleshoot the equipment.
The New England Urology Resident Training Course in Robotic Surgery will be offered again next year. For information and more photos from the course, visit: www.bidmc.org/surgery and click on

Starwood relocates global HQ to Dubai for month-long immersion.
Friday, 8th March 2013
Source : Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
Following insightful relocation to China in 2011, move to UAE will further bring the company closer to key growth markets.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced the beginning of a month-long relocation of its global headquarters from Stamford, CT to Dubai. From now until April 5th, Starwood President & CEO Frits van Paasschen and the companys top executives will conduct day-to-day business from Dubai, an increasingly important global destination and travel hub.
Following the companys successful relocation to China in June 2011, this second leadership move reflects Starwoods innovative management approach to cultivating a more global culture by understanding, appreciating and leveraging different societal perspectives and approaches to business and hospitality.
With 80 percent of Starwoods pipeline coming from rapidly growing markets, it is simply not possible to lead a truly global business from a boardroom in Connecticut, said van Paasschen. Rising wealth and ever greater global connectivity are creating a once-in-a-lifetime growth opportunity for our business by fueling new demand, changing travel patterns, and entirely new travel markets. Dubai epitomizes this changing face of travel, and we expect this relocation will deepen our relationships with partners, associates and customers. Just as with our one-month relocation to China in 2011, our time in-market will spark new ideas that will fortify our position as the most global high-end hotel company.
During the course of the relocation, more than 200 Starwood executives and GMs from the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America will travel to Dubai as the company runs day-to-day operations almost 7,000 miles and a nine-hour time zone away from its usual HQ outside New York City. The team will meet with associates, customers, owners and prospective developers in the UAE and also take advantage of Dubais location for business travel to destinations including Mumbai, Addis Ababa, Jeddah, Dushanbe and Kuwait.
To visually narrate the months journey, Starwood today debuted Tumblr and Instagram accounts.
Dubai Illustrative of New Golden Age of Travel
Dubai is a natural choice for Starwoods second month-long senior leadership relocation as the city is situated eight hours from two-thirds of the worlds population and is a global gateway at the crossroads of East and West and the developed and rapidly growing economies. The Middle East continues to evolve as an international business and leisure travel hub with Dubai now home to many multinational corporations, consultants, banks and university campuses. In 2012, Dubai International Airport counted approximately 58 million visitors, a number which is expected to grow at annual rates above ten percent, and the airport is expected to be the worlds largest in terms of international passenger traffic by 2015.
Globalization is accelerating new trade patterns, capital flows and wealth creation: this translates to more people from more places traveling to more destinations than ever before, said van Paasschen. We are on the cusp of a new Golden Age of Travel, and Dubai is at the epicenter of this sea change.
Along with changing travel patterns, Starwood has seen a significant increase in demand for luxury in all corners of the world, including the Middle East. As the most global high-end hotel company with nearly twice as many rooms as Marriott or Hilton in emerging markets, Starwood is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the record number of people entering the ranks of the very wealthy and developing a taste for luxury.
With the opening of W Doha in 2009, Starwood introduced a new luxury hotel category in the Middle East, and plans are underway to open new W hotels in Amman, Muscat, and Abu Dhabi as well as two W properties in Dubai. Following the W brands debut, Starwood introduced its St. Regis brand into the Middle East with the 2011 opening of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort (Abu Dhabi). St. Regis has since opened in Doha and will this year unveil a second St. Regis hotel in Abu Dhabi, located on the Corniche. Future St. Regis openings in the region include The St. Regis Cairo, The St. Regis Amman, and The St. Regis Dubai. Starwood also continues to grow its Luxury Collection brand in the UAE and will debut in the Emirate of Ajman in 2014.
Diverse Viewpoints Needed to Succeed Globally
Starwoods roots in the Middle East date back nearly 50 years. This first-mover advantage has put Starwood in a leadership position in the region, with 45 hotels and another 30 under development. In Dubai alone, Starwood has 14 hotels and another six in the pipeline. That makes Dubai Starwoods second largest market in the world behind New York City. The companys Middle East footprint is set to grow by about 70 percent over the next five years thanks to Starwoods brand strength, local know-how and long-standing relationships.
Working day-to-day in a different market allows you to see the world through a different lens, said van Paasschen. The insights that come from experiences like this move make us more agile in todays rapidly changing world. As a company, we make better and faster decisions thanks to the diverse viewpoints of our leaders and associates. These trips allow us to listen firsthand to what our associates around the world have to say.

Get your questions answered and Get Out of Debt today with myCreditQuestions.com!
Credit counseling often involves negotiating with creditors to establish a debt management plan (DMP) for a consumer. A DMP may help the debtor repay his or her debt by working out a repayment plan with the creditor. Credit counseling can consolidate your payments and get you out of debt in about one third the normal time. So instead of just sitting back and watching your bills grow larger each month, take a minute to fill out our free consultation form. Credit counseling organizations may not charge an extra fee for the certificate.
Debt programs and solutions are available for all 50 states. Debt settlement is a negotiation by a settlement service provider or lawyer with your creditors to pay back a portion of your unsecured debt. You make monthly deposits into a debt settlement account in an amount you can afford. Debt relief encompasses a wide variety of services offered on a nationwide basis. Depending on your personal finances, consumer credit counseling can mean getting a grip on spending, finding ways to resolve tough credit problems, and learning to live comfortably without credit, or at least cutting back on the credit that you do have.
Consumer credit counseling is an alternative for consumers experiencing financial difficulties and unable to make their minimum payments. But consumer credit counseling organizations typically attempt to reduce the interest rate and fees on your debts, not the balances themselves. Consumers need a resource they can trust to provide effective credit counseling to help them emerge from their financial struggles. AICCCA members are non-profit, personal financial management service providers that offer free, confidential counseling by trained, certified counselors. Consumer Credit Counseling Service is a non-profit agency with the goal of helping people to solve their financial crises. We invite you to give us a call to find out more about how we can help you, your family or your employees.
Experienced credit counselors listen to you and your needs, and then help you develop a plan of action you can follow. No confusing gimmicks or overwhelming options. Experienced consumer credit counselors are able to make beneficial agreements between you and your creditors, such as no interest on existing balances, as long as you agree to make the monthly payment to the agency who is handling your situation.
Debt builds up over time. While a counseling agency can help negotiate the interest rate or a payment plan, it will take some years to pay off that debt. Debt negotiation is not the same thing as credit counseling or a DMP. It can be very risky and have a long term negative impact on your credit report and, in turn, your ability to get credit. Debt free life is a precious and unique gift being presented by debt consolidation loans. And to obtain that gift you are not required to move out of your place and put forth futile efforts.
Spreadsheets are still excellent for complex budgets and planning. There are also tools that automate data entry and budgeting in a spreadsheet, e.g. SpreadsheetZONE featuring one of the biggest Microsoft Excel template repositories on the web. Supported by an active community, Excel Pros SpreadsheetZONE grows rapidly, delivering new templates every day.
Create a list of all of the expenses you have paid, separated by category and month. For example, you will have a list of "entertainment" expenses for the month of "June" consisting of movies, dining out, going to clubs, enjoying a hobby or other ways you entertain yourself during the month. Create different budgets for side-by-side comparison. Creating a budget and estimating expenses is never perfect the first time. You will need to go through a few iterations.
Expenses such as utilities, gas, food and entertainment may change from month to month, so the best way to figure them into your budget is to come up with a monthly average for each one. Over a three month period, keep a record of how much you spend on each of these things and then figure out, on average, how much you're spending each month. Expense Tracker is ideal for tracking home, household and club expenses as well. You can even use it to track your business expenses and create expense reports. Expenses and income are recorded by the user.
Add up income amounts against expense amounts and find the difference to determine surplus or deficit. Adding a new transaction is remarkably easy. Quickly add a new one-time or recurring transaction from the sidebar form or the 'New' dialog on the toolbar, specify the type of transaction: Expense, Income, or Refund.
Track spending and saving, plan and set goals and track your monthly spending and try to account for every dollar spent. For the next month or two, think very closely about how your money is spent.
Creating a personal budget is easier than you think and can give you deep insight into where you are at financially and where you could go. I recommend using a spreadsheet application (Google Docs is free) to create expense and income columns to get a running total of your expenses, which you can update when necessary.

5. Moscow, Russia - app. 9,000,000
With nearly two million more residents living just outside of the city, its metropolitan area consists of just under 11 million people.
Moscow became the most powerful Russian city at the end of the 15th century, remaining the capital of the Empire until it was moved to St. Petersburg in 1712. Following the Bolshevik Revolution, Moscow again became a capital city in 1918. In recent times, one of the main attractions, Gorky Park -- the city's most popular center of amusement -- is open to the public year-round.

The Rosedale community was established in 1888 and named Foster's Meadow. In 1894, the area was divided into building lots and the present name was established. In 1919, the Women's Club asked the library for service. A collection staffed by volunteers was begun and by November a station was established. In 1920, rent-free quarters were found for the library. The Branch was relocated a number of times over the years. In May 1962 the Rosedale Public Library was opened in the rented building that it presently occupies. This was overseen by the Board of Trustees with Cornelius B. Hermann as president and Chief Librarian Harold W. Tucker.

Sunderland's ladies travel to Leeds United on Sunday looking for a fifth consecutive win.
The Lady Black Cats are yet to be beaten in the 2012-13 season and a win against one of their closest rivals would extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.
Sunderland are on a high following a derby victory last weekend as they ran out 6-1 winners at Middlesbrough.
The hosts lie third in the Women's Premier League, trailing Mick Mulhern's side by five points despite playing two more games than the Black Cats.
The sides have met nine times in the past three seasons and Sunderland have come out on top on six occasions, while there has also been three draws.
Kick-off at Throstle Nest is 2pm.

PEMBROKE, Mass. — Most "Laundromateurs" wonder if they are paying too much in taxes. Few are willing to study the tax codes or the changes that come out every year, so most rely on accountants. But what happens if your accountant is too conservative or uninformed? Here are answers to some common questions that should provide food for thought for the current tax season:
Q: Should I take full use of my Section 179?
Section 179 allows the business owner to deduct in full up to $250,000 of capital purchases for a tax year. Otherwise, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated over five to 10 years.
If you've spent $100,000 to upgrade equipment and your profits are higher than they usually are, you might expense the full $100,000 as a Section 179 expense. If you expect the next several years to earn substantial profits, you might depreciate over time. It is a guess of what future profits will be compared to this year's results.
Q: How much will the changes in Social Security affect me?
The temporary payroll cut has been eliminated. You can expect to have 2% more Social Security withdrawn from your paycheck. Or, if you're self-employed, your Social Security Medicare tax will go from 13.3% to 15.3%. As for Medicare increasing to 3.8%, that's only for single taxpayers earning more than $400,000 (married, more than $450,000).
Q: Will the new 20% capital gains affect me if I sell stock?
It's still 15% for most of us. The 20% capital gains is only for those earning more than $400,000, including stock gain. But if you sell your business this year, you will most likely pay a higher capital gains tax.
Q: Is it really necessary to send in estimates?
Our tax system is set up for employed workers to have a portion of their weekly paycheck taken out every week and deposited in a tax fund. But the system is not set up to do that for business owners. So, business owners must send in quarterly or monthly estimates to cover their expected profit tax liability.
If enough isn't put into the system, the IRS penalizes you with a surcharge. Generally, it might run 8% of what you owe. But the bigger problem is getting behind, and not being able to catch up. So it is vitally important to anticipate your profits and pay the appropriate taxes in the form of estimates.
Q: What happens if the IRS catches me cheating?
As a general rule, if you are audited and found that you have overstated expenses, you will be required to make up the difference plus pay penalty and interest. But if you are found to have under-reported income, this is a clear statement that you are trying to defraud the government. You could face serious consequences, even jail time. Having insufficient records is not an excuse.
My advice is to keep records, maintain honest figures, and sleep well at night.

(Ivanhoe Newsmakers) –New research shows that having shingles may increase the risk of having a stroke years later.
Researchers at the University College London, UK, found that people ages 18 to 40 who had singles were more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA), years later than those who did not have shingles. People over 40 who had shingles were more likely to have a heart attack or TIA, but not a stroke.
The study involved 106,600 people who had shingles and 213,200 people who did not. Researchers used a UK database to review patients' records for about six years after they were diagnosed with shingles and for as long as 24 years for some participants. People under 40 years old were 74 percent more likely to have a stroke if they had had shingles.

text: The advancement of the livestock industries is dependent upon the advancement of managerial techniques, however, it is largely reliant upon genetic progression. Using assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the genetics of males are most efficiently and commonly passed to future generations through the use of artificial insemination (AI). Genetic material from females is limited given the inefficiency and difficulty associated with the use of embryo transfer (ET). This research aims to improve ET efficiency in the cattle industry and will have national impact on other areas of ART which require ET.

Volume Pills – stuff you need to know
When you are checking out the various male performance pills, one thing starts to become clear quite quickly and that is the fact that all of these products or at least a huge majority of them seem to be developed and manufactured with the user being the last one that should benefit from the directly. They are mostly made so that the user can be better in the bed which should result in increased pleasure for his partner and only then for him. There are, however, some products that also look to help the user get more out of sex, directly, and the product that we would like to talk to you about today and that falls into this category is Volume Pills.Learn More >>
Volume Pills – answering FAQ
The main reason why some men do not give a product as good as Volume Pills a go is that they just do not know enough about it. And for some products, it is truly not that easy to find all the answers. So, in order to stimulate men into getting themselves some Volume Pills, we would like to answer some of the questions that we have found men asking about Volume Pills.
Question 1: What kind of a supplement is Volume Pills?
Answer 1: Volume Pills is a natural supplement which is aimed at men who wish to get more out of sex, that would be the simplest explanation. Volume Pills is packed with natural ingredients that work together and deliver a number of effects to the men who take the product. For instance, Volume Pills will increase the amount of ejaculate during a man's orgasm, it will enhance his erections and it will make him more libidinous and durable during sex. In short, it turns a man into a sex machine with nothing but some natural active ingredients.
What Volume Pills can do for you
When you really bare down the talk about any natural supplement to its core, it is all about what this supplement can do. For instance, you could be talking about the great formula that is found in Volume Pills or about the manufacturing process which is the best in the industry, but in the end, it is all about what Volume Pills does and how it can help men be better in bed. Well, we wanted to talk to you about this.
Among other things, Volume Pills increases production of semen in the male body. This is done thanks to the various ingredients in Volume Pills that have been found to boost this natural production and result in an increased volume of ejaculate. The main effect of this increased amount of ejaculate is that the orgasms become more powerful as the contractions increase in intensity and strength as the semen is expelled out of the male body. Newly increased ejaculates are also quite stunning to women and they cannot help but be influenced by the sight and the feel of that huge amount of ejaculate.

The musical comedy, Sister Act, opened a run at in Detroit at the Fisher Theatre on Tuesday. The Broadway show will be running through May 4.
Based on the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act tells the story of aspiring singer Deloris Van Cartier (Ta'Rea Campbell) who is in love with a mobster named Curtis Jackson (Melvin Abston) in Philadelphia in the 1970's. Deloris witnesses Jackson commit a murder and after running away heads to the police station where she meets "Sweaty Eddie" (Chester Gregory), a cop who had a crush on her in high school.
He puts her into the witness protection program by sending her to a convent; the last place anyone would think to look for her. Under the watch of Mother Superior (Hollis Resnik), Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she rediscovers her own.
The show does a great job of showcasing the power of friendship and the healing power of laughter.
There are some cheesy moments but the lively cast pulls it off as they belt out one passionate song after another.
The high production value also makes for an entertaining evening as the scene changes from the club to the police station to the church move flawlessly alongside a variety of over-the-top fashion choices.
In the end, the show's success is driven by the chemistry between Campbell and Resnik, who really drive home their character's obvious differences while effortlessly conveying how those differences end up creating a bond between them.

I do notice that my skin doesn't feel dry until way later, but I don't feel like it does a super job of deeply moisturizing the areas that are really prone to dryness. The fragrance is nice though, and overall it's a pretty good lotion for the price, and you get a huge amount in the bottle too. — 6 years, 8 months agoNotQuiteGlam | 189 reviews
Love itThis lotion really moisturizes for a long time. Not sure about 24 hours but after applying it in the morning, my skin is still soft well into the night. I also like to shave my legs with it; it leaves them soft all day and minimizes razor burn. — 8 years, 1 month agoj_orestano | 221 reviews

24 hour moistureFirst of all, I love how this smells. It's very fresh and clean. Perfect for when you get right out of the shower. It soaks into the skin right away and doesn't leave a greasy residue. It does moisture pretty well! — 6 years, 6 months agoElena_00 | 42 reviews
No fuss, no messA no fuss no mess product that does its job. Moisturizing. Whether truly for 24 hours or not, the simplicity of this product makes it a keeper. — 7 years, 6 months agojuliaaa | 8 reviews
Certainly a KeeperI love this product! I tried this 2 months ago and am hooked. It works great and it smells great too.. Its whipped and creamy without feeling greasy. Here's a tip: Whenever you are fresh out of the shower apply baby oil gel and follow up with the 24 hour moisture and you feel great all day long. Even my co-workers and family compliment me on how unbelievable soft my skin is.. Yes this is a keeper... — 7 years, 7 months agoCeCe31 | 2 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Superstar Ciara stole the show at the Grammy Awards, but it wasn't her dazzling gold dress or baby bump that had people talking – it was her head-turning hair. Eager to replicate, we turned to L'Oréal Professionnel Artist, Jennifer MacDougall and color by L'Oréal Professionnel Jason Backe for tips.
To create the color, Jason Backe applied L'Oréal Professionnel DIA Light, ammonia-free demi-permanent professional color. Then, apply L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Reinforcing Milk from roots to ends on damp hair followed by a smoothing product to eliminate frizz and flyaways.
Create center part & blow-dry with round brush in sections away from the face. Spray with hairspray on each section, then wrap hair loosely around large curling iron and curl middle of the hair strand.
Artist tip: If you have fly-aways, add L'Oréal Professionnel Lumi Control around face to keep the updo sleek/keep the shine
Finger comb hair back towards the nape of neck to create a loose ponytail and secure with a clear elastic, keeping the end of the hair tucked in. Then, take the end of the ponytail and twist and tuck under the faux bob.
Secure with long bobby pins, keeping the pins closed. Squeeze L'Oréal Professionel True Grip to add texture and finish with L'Oréal Professionnel Perfect Shimmer for added shine.
Rockstar looks, anytime.
