Press release – 794(2006)
Council of Europe Secretary General reacts to death penalty decisions in California and Florida
Strasbourg, 16.12.2006 - Capital punishment in the United States of America is on its deathbed after the ruling by a court in California to the effect that a lethal injection is unconstitutional and the decision by the Governor of Florida to suspend all executions after the terrible experience of the last execution in this State. Judge Fogel in California may still think that the death penalty can be fixed, but these decisions nevertheless mark the definitive beginning of the end. It may take another couple of years, but the United States of America is on its way to join the rest of the civilized world where this inhuman and barbaric punishment has already been rejected. I have no doubt that this trend is welcomed by a lot of Americans who, given a proper choice, prefer just security to cruel revenge.

Cadillac Dealer in Chicagoland?
Hey, all. I have an 89 Eldorado that I love to death but it needs some serious service. I just saw a post that Grossinger Cadillac in Chicago was no good, and that Weil Cadillac in Libertyville was good. Can anyone confirm this information? Also, do you know of anywhere else I could take that car that may be closer to the north side of Chicago? Thanks!

Re: Cadillac Dealer in Chicagoland?
I personally would like to vouch for the service department at Weil Cadillac in Libertyville. I have a 99SLS with a scrap engine and they have gone completely out of thier way to help me get a replacement engine in my car. If I were to rate them on a 1 to 10 scale I would have to give them a 10 with 5 gold stars attached.

To Survive, CBS Needs Biz Makeover
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 31, 7:30 AM
There is no way a pure-play, advertising-dependent CBS can escape more deadening economic blows based on where things are headed. The company needs a new game plan. Now.

Big Media Coming Apart At The Seams
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 30, 7:30 AM
Despite the grim warnings, lower earnings and massive layoffs, it appears the worst is yet to come for big, lumbering media companies. It all rides on what we don't know. We don't know how deep or how long the advertiser and consumer spending pullback will be. There is no historical precedent, given the powerful unraveling of the global economy.

Social-Networking Revs Real When Mainstream Media Onboard
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 29, 7:31 AM
Many media, advertising and Internet players underestimate the extent to which interactive consumers, their social networks and their fluid connections can provide a silver lining to the lingering economic morass. The difference between their conventional wisdom and the more compelling reality of digital consumer behavior could be billions in new revenues.

Twittering Toward Prosperity?
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 28, 8:15 AM
Can media Twitter its way to prosperity? It appears that it must find a way. It's purely by chance that a handful of reports have crossed each other in recent days--underscoring a way out of the economic quagmire, with one scenario pointing to an oversimplified use of technology built around the notion that what consumers (especially young ones) care most about is the here and now.

Broadcasters: It's The Access, Not The Screen
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 27, 8:30 AM
Consumers are happy to access their content of choice as streaming video on the Internet, an iTunes download or cable video on demand. There is the real prospect that many of the 9% of U.S. households whose TV sets go dark Feb. 17 will stay that way.

Apple, Amazon's Secret Weapon: Relevance
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 24, 8:00 AM
All companies are braced for dismal forecasts, but Apple and Amazon are not like everyone else. Their universal brands are second nature for many consumers worldwide. While not completely recession-resistant, they are not hugely reliant on marketing and advertising. They have the halo of relevance and value.

Yahoo: Surge or Merge?
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 23, 7:45 AM
Yahoo is writing the book on how not to manage a company in times of adversity. After a year of chaos, it has responded to the recession-led dive in display advertising with a 10% workforce cut. Its planned Google ad alliance to boost sagging revenues is threatened. And it gets worse.

Market To Media Cos: Let's Make A Deal
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 22, 8:00 AM
Unusual circumstances, painfully low stock prices and a latent need to rearrange the media landscape could contribute to a new wave of deal-making. The self-funded opportunists are beginning to gun their engines.

Media Giants Threatened By Giant Loan Payments
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 21, 7:02 AM
The loan covenant issues threatening Viacom and CBS underscore the unexpected, devastating impact the credit crisis and the recession will have on even the biggest media concerns, some of whose repayment and cash flow issues have not yet come to light. The resulting realignment of media players could alter the competitive landscape on the upside of the economic recovery 18 months from now.

TiVo's Rogers: Embrace Change, Save Ad Base
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 20, 7:33 AM
Parallels between the "television advertising crisis" and the credit crisis are too stark to ignore, says TiVo CEO Tom Rogers. The ad and TV industries are running out of time to capitalize on rather than to be victimized by digital technology.

ACM Awards Nominees' Reactions
The 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards nominees were announced earlier today, and there were plenty of surprises, a few easy picks and a lot of elated artists.
"I'm still on cloud nine from last ACMs. I had such an amazing time last year," Miranda Lambert, who leads the pack of nominations with seven, including Entertainer of the Year, tells CMT. "I set a goal for myself when I was 17 that I wanted to be nominated for Entertainer of the Year, and ten years later, here I am. I know I have tons of work ahead of me to take a crown like that, and I love that because it puts the drive in me. I have my foot in the door in this category, and the fact that I'm nominated is amazing. I'll keep working my butt off, and one day I'll win it, hopefully."
Jamey Johnson, nominated for two ACM Awards — Album of the Year for 'The Guitar Song' and Vocal Event of the Year for his collaboration on Colt Ford's single, 'Cold Beer' — says the industry recognition is for everyone who has helped him along the way. "The triumph of a gold-selling double album is shared by my family, my friends/bandmates/producers, my staff, my label, my booking agents, my publishers, my management, my publicists, my handlers, my wranglers, my fans, my dog, Willie's braids and that beautiful brunette in Toledo," Jamey says. "Thanks all for the hard work and dedication. You all deserve each accolade. And thanks to the Academy voters for the recognition."
Of his fellow nominee for 'Cold Beer,' Jamey had nothing but high-praise for the outspoken artist. "If working with Colt in the studio was a ball, touring with him on the road with the Grascals and Hank Williams, Jr. was several balls," Jamey jokes. "He's a unique artist in a day where uniquity is not usually rewarded. I'm proud to be nominated alongside my friend."
"I never dreamed I would get a nomination for anything," first-time nominee Colt Ford says. "I just wanted to make a good song with my friend Jamey. I am so humbled to even be mentioned with the amazing artists in this category. I promise no one is more grateful than me!"
Lee Brice, who received three ACM nods, was awakened early in the morning to learn the good news. "Wow! What a way to start the day!" he says. "I'm out on the west coast deep in dreamland and my hotel phone starts ringing at 5:30 AM. It's such an honor just to be nominated and such a boost personally after putting so much time and work into this."
Kenny Chesney has five ACM nods — the most of any male solo artist this year. He's particularly proud of the Album recognition. "In making 'Hemingway's Whiskey,' it was important for me to push myself and my audience while at the same time staying true to who I am as an artist," he says. "That's why I'm so proud of this album and even more proud of the nomination for ACM Album of the Year."
The JaneDear Girls — Susie Brown and Danelle Leverett — are nominated for Top Vocal Duo of the Year. The recognition, they say, is the icing on the cake of their whirlwind year. "I am speechless – I can't believe we have been nominated for Top Vocal Duo of the Year!" Danelle gushes. "I remember playing out acoustically with Susie in backyards and colleges, living on taco soup, like it was yesterday. This doesn't seem real."
"This year has been such an amazing year so far!" Susie adds. "We are out on our very first tour with Jason Aldean, we just found out that we've broken the Top 15 with our first single 'Wildflower,' last night we performed for the first time on live TV on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and today we released our debut album across the country. Now to be nominated for ACM's Top Vocal Duo of the Year is so overwhelming, and I feel deeply honored to be in a category with so many amazing artists. I just want to thank all the wonderful radio stations and fans that believe in us and have embraced us so warmly. We can't wait to see all of your smiling faces in 2011!"
The Randy Rogers Band, who received their third nomination for Top Vocal Group of the Year, say it means as much for their entire team as it does for the group. "It means the world to the band and crew," Randy says. "We take this seriously, and it's our livelihood, so being included in a category that is recognized nationally like that is validating for us for sure … I am proud to represent all of the hard-working touring bands who are in the trenches playing 200 shows a year that have strong fan bases."
Newcomer Easton Corbin received three nominations, including Song of the Year. He admits his recent success, which includes three ACA awards and a Top 10 album, is a bit surreal. "This is a dream come true," he says. "This is something I've wanted all my life. To be able to do this for a living and have people like it, I couldn't ask for any better. I am so blessed … I always like to thank everybody and God for giving me this opportunity, and for everybody accepting my music. I've had a lot of great people that I've worked with who gave me a chance. Without that chance, I wouldn't be here. And of course I'd like to thank the fans."
Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban took to Twitter to expess their appreciation. "Not much sleep, songs in head. But hearing that ['Up on the Ridge'] was nominated for ACM Album of the Year is like a really strong cup of good good coffee,' Dierks tweeted. "I want to start by saying a HUGE thanks to the ACM and the voters. Really special album for me. But it all comes down to the fans on this … Of course I got to thank my girls back home."
Keith, nominated for three ACM trophies, including Entertainer of the Year, started his day on a high note after hearing the good news. "Goodness gracious!!!!! Absolutely beaming hearing the news this morning about our ACM nominations," he posted. "Can't wait to get to Vegas, and hopefully get the chance to actually say thank you."
The ACM Awards will air live from Las Vegas on April 3 at 8:00 PM ET.

The group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid will take part in this year's Toronto Pride parade.
For the first time in five years, there has been no organized opposition to QuAIA participating in the parade, which will be held June 29. Jewish community and some city officials have opposed the group joining in the past.
"People got pretty tired over the years of the same fight," Martin Gladstone, a Toronto lawyer and gay rights activist, told the Jewish Tribune. "These guys don't quit and everyone's tired of giving them oxygen."
A 2012 report by Toronto's Department of Equity, Diversity and Human Rights concluded that the phrase "Israeli Apartheid" did not violate the city's anti-discrimination policy. A dispute resolution committee later ruled that QuAIA's message was not discriminatory toward the Jewish community.
The City Council approved $160,500 in funding this year for Pride Toronto, an increase of $20,540 over last year. However, the budget passed with an amendment introduced by City Councillor James Pasternak, who is Jewish, requiring that groups receiving cultural funding understand that the failure to comply with the city's new anti-discrimination policy could result in the forfeiture of current and future money.
It also asks the City Council to "affirm its view that Toronto remain a destination of respect, tolerance and safety, and that the importation of world conflict zones is contrary to these ideals."
Opposition to QuAIA this year "was extremely quiet," Pasternak told the Tribune. "No advocacy organizations, no deputations; it was very strange."
He added, "Since nobody came out, I took the initiative and moved this motion."
Toronto's Jewish gays are "100 percent focused on not allowing ourselves to get distracted by QuAIA this year," said Justine Apple, executive director of Kulanu, the Jewish lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender group. "We're here for the Jewish LGBT community at large."
This year, the Canadian city also is hosting WorldPride, a 10-day festival that attracts LGBTQ people from around the world.

Re: Heads UP : Massey 2CWT power hammer
Thanks for posting luke, It turns out I knew the guy selling it (them, there was 3 x 2 cwts), I was offered them a few months ago but could not buy them at the time as I had no photos of them! , anyhoo, had a chat with him today, and his phone rang off the hook since he put the ebay listing up, and he sold them for 4x + the opening price on ebay (hence he pulled the listing), and said he could have sold them many times over at this price!!!
Looks like the market for good old hammers is 'firming up!' (which is good, and bad for me!)

The Good Feet
Arch Supports, Orthotics
Slimline with GET Technology
Cushions & Accessories
Most people have experienced back problems, lower back pain or strain of the neck from time to time. The spinal column is an extraordinary mechanism. It keeps us stable enough to stand upright but flexible enough for movement. The backbone, or spine, is actually a stack of 24 individual bones called vertebrae. A healthy spine is S-shaped when viewed from the side. It curves back at the shoulders and inward at the neck and small of the back. It's the body's main structural support. It also houses and protects the spinal cord, the intricate network of nerves that runs through the vertebrae to transmit feeling and control movement throughout the entire body.
*emedicinehealth.com | *OSHA study
Back pain ranks high on the list of self-inflicted ailments. Most back troubles happen because of bad habits, generally developed over a long period of time. These bad back habits may include:

All acne meds take months to work. Push through it. You didn't use it long enough. And, the more you switch the more irritated your skin becomes. You really need to use it 8-12 weeks (2-3 months) before giving up or trying anything new.... READ COMMENT

One Bay Street analyst has slapped an effective "sell" on Sprott Inc., while others cut their target prices Monday as the investment firm faces headwinds from poor fund returns, redemptions and lower performance fees.
"Many of Sprott's flagship funds are down 10 per cent or more year-to-date," said CIBC World Markets analyst Paul Holden. "These same funds are about 50 per cent below high water marks, and are unlikely to produce meaningful performance fees during our 2013-2014 forecast horizon."
Bullion funds remain the engine of growth and atttracted $574-million in new money in the fourth quarter, Mr. Holden wrote. "Hedge funds continue to be in net redemptions, losing $123-million in the quarter. Mutual funds were hit with net redemptions of $37-million. Given returns, we expect redemptions will continue."
Mr. Holden downgraded his rating on Sprott to "sector underperform," and cut his one-year target by 50 cents to $3.25 a share. The average Street target is $3.86 a share, according to Bloomberg data.
Canaccord Genuity analyst Scott Chan, who maintains a "hold" rating, reduced his 12-month target to $3.75 a share from $4. "While Sprott is making strides in diversifying its assets under management, the company continues to be levered towards resource investments (specifically precious metals), which affects its highly sensitive fee business," he said.
TD Securities analyst Doug Young cut his one-year target to $4 a share from $4.50. "Assets under management declined quarter over quarter as the performance of a majority of the company's funds was negative, resulting in market value appreciation," said the analyst who maintains his "hold" rating on Sprott.
5N Plus Inc. (VNP-TSX)
Byron Capital Markets analyst Jonathan Lee downgraded the producer of specialty metals to a "sell" rating after a tough fourth quarter. Revenue was higher than expected in the face of lower commodity prices, but what was "troubling" was the fact that company was continuing to write down its inventory, he added.
Target: He cut his one-year target to $1.60 a share from $2.30. The average Street target is $2.75 a share.
Ithaca Energy Inc. (IAE-TSX)
In building a North Sea oil and gas company, the acquisition of Valiant Petroleum PLC for $309-million provides near-term cash flow until production begins from the Greater Stella area, said CIBC World Markets analyst Ian Macqueen. "Our net asset value increases from $2.87 a share to $3.21 a share."
Target: He raised his one-year target by 50 cents to $3.25 a share. The average Street target is $3.05 a share.
Glacier Media Inc. (GVC-TSX)
Canada Revenue Agency's decision to issue a reassessment of its non-capital losses from 2008 to 2011 for the media company "enhances the risk inherent to this name to some degree," said TD Securities analyst Michael Elkins.
Target: He downgraded his rating to a "hold," and cut his 12-month target by 25 cents to $2.25 a share. The average Street target is $2.15 a share.
Rackspace Hosting Inc. (RAX-NYSE)
Canaccord Genuity analyst Greg Miller slashed his target on the provider of hosting and cloud computing services because of growing competition. Rackspace's top-line growth will be pressured by price reductions for cloud computer services from players like Amazon.com, he noted.
Target: He cut his one-year target by $5 (U.S) to $55 a share. The average Street target is $64.54 a share.Report Typo/Error

Whether you are obese or overweight, the situation for you will be similar. However there is some difference between the obese and overweight folks as the risks of health are far more faced by obese than over weight. A healthy life style and good diet allows people to gain correct Body Mass Index but in reality it is very hard to achieve. For this status usually people employ a trainer or coach for them and some resort to dietary supplements too. To combat obesity, these pills are playing vital role but many people regard them as scam and thus stay away. However, one supplement that has earned good reputation is phen375.
Phen375 has made its name in the industry very well due to the advantages it has been delivering. It has put a great curve of smile on many people's face and has revolutionized the market of slimming pills. Phen375 worked in different way and it suppresses the appetite of the folks plus it burns a fat of body in very distinctive fashion. There are plenty of reviews weekly or monthly on phen375 and all of them refer the product for positive results. A question that strikes the mind is; is it safe to use phen375?
In the journey of shedding extra pounds people must have faced many dietary supplements on the way and must have encountered problems related to those solutions. Truth to be told, many of those supplements are not even regulated by the FDA and people digest them at their own risk. In addition, many pills have some side effects and are not suggested for the people of all ages. Phen375, on the contrary provides great opportunity to the people as it can be taken at any age. People seek help from the pills regardless of their age.
Phen375 which is the appetite suppressant is 100% approved by the food and Drug department and has not shown any nasty effects similar to other weight loss pills. The product was launched in 2009 and since then there are no reports submitted regarding the heavy side effects.
Phen375 is very safe for the use because it starts your metabolism at higher speed which absorbs the fat and burns it more effectively. With this benefit folks do not have to engage in cumbersome exercises or starving. It is also recommended by the producers that while you are at pills you should swallow smaller and more frequent meals rather than one huge. This diet solution will help you out in selecting those similar meals so when your cravings are curb you will eat only what is required for the body to function properly. Phen375 also boost the energy of you and really assist you in participating to physical activities.

Northup & Bush Won't Tell Louisville About the Ugly Details of Their S.S. Privatization Plan
Mar 10, 2005
Northup & Bush Won't Tell Louisville About the Ugly Details of Their S.S. Privatization Plan
With President Bush in Louisville today, GOP Rep. Anne Northup has reiterated her support for President Bush's Social Security privatization plan. [WAVE News, 3/8/05]
However, Bush and Northup aren't likely to level with Kentucky's seniors and future Social Security beneficiaries about the ugly details of their privatization plan. Among those details is the fact that over 163,000 disabled and blind Kentucky residents are relying on Social Security's SSI benefits today and can't afford the cuts in benefits that are part of the Northup/Bush plan. [ssa.gov]
Today, DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel (IL) challenged Bush and Northup to come clean about the consequences of their plan and explain how they would protect disabled Kentuckians from benefit cuts.
"Louisville deserves to know the facts about the Northup/Bush privatization plan that adds to Social Security's financial burden while cutting guaranteed benefits," said DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel (IL). "Also, the benefit cuts under the Northup/Bush plan could be devastating to the families of over one hundred thousand disabled Kentucky residents who rely on Social Security today to make ends meet."
Ugly Details of Northup/Bush Plan:
What Would Happen to over 163,000 in Kentucky Who Get Social Security for Disabilities (SSI) Under Northup/Bush Plan?
In Kentucky, 163,167 disabled and blind received federally administered Supple Security Income payments in December 2003. Republicans have recommended barring access to the accounts prior to retirement age under the Northup/Bush plan.
This means that if a worker who becomes disabled is unable to work, they will be unable to benefit from their contributions to the individual account. It will be difficult for retirees to make up the cut in benefits with their private accounts. A twenty-year-old worker today has a 30 percent chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age. [Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Congressional Testimony, Hearing on Social Security Disability and Survivors' Benefits, House Budget Committee Task Force on Social Security, 6/22/99]
Guaranteed Benefits Cut Up to 46 Percent
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, guaranteed benefits under privatization would be cut by 46 percent for many beneficiaries. [CBPP, 1/28/05]
Northup/Bush Plan Adds $4.9 Trillion to National Debt in First 20 Years
While White House estimates falsely skew the cost of the plan, the actual cost would be much higher than estimated and would add more than $4.9 trillion to the debt over its first 20 years. Over the first ten years that the plan was in effect (2009-18), it would add about $1.4 trillion to the debt. Over the next ten years (2019- 28), it would add about $3.5 trillion more to the debt. All told, the plan would add $4.9 trillion (14 percent of GDP in 2028) to the debt over its first 20 years. [CBPP, "An Overview of Issues Raised by the Administration's Social Security Plan, 2/7/05]
Northup/Bush Plan Does Nothing to Extend Long-Term Solvency of S.S.
Even White House officials acknowledge that the Bush plan will do nothing to restore solvency to Social Security. According to the LA Times, "In a significant shift in his rationale for the accounts, Bush dropped his claim that they would help solve Social Security's fiscal problems - a link he sometimes made during last year's presidential campaign [LA Times, 2/3/05]

The Man in the Mirror
As we all know by now, Michael Jackson–who apparently was reading Tagore poems in his last days–is dead.
It is sad and strange, and though it feels a little odd, I wanted to put up a sort of Harriet "open thread" about it here just in case anyone wants to vent over the weekend. Myself, I've felt mostly numb about the whole thing, mainly, I think, because the King of Pop had been dead for me twenty years or so, ever since I was eight years old.
Then–summer of '87–I had the Thriller poster up in my room, the weird plastic "Beat It" doll, the records, stickers on my school folders . . . I was a fan. No, seriously. I was a fan. Not quite a lunatic fan, but an eight-year old pop music fan, which is quite enough already, don't you think?
Yes, well, case in point: I decided that summer that I wanted to get my haircut EXACTLY like Michael's. I told my mom on the way to the barber (Okay, actually, a confession here: it was not the barber. It was the salon. Michael Jackson had made it okay to be feminine, marvelous and not-so tough, right? So I 'll admit now to the world that I went with my mom to the salon to get my haircut when I was eight. Think of that what you will.). My mom seemed to take the news in stride.
"Okay," she said.
Okay?! Holy shit!
I sat in stunned silence. I could suddenly picture it so clearly. That strange, curly, flingable wetness, how would I exist with such amazing glamour on my head? At school! At baseball practice! Out in the streets of Iowa!
It would be the best.
I strode into the salon and told the lady straight away what was happening. "Exactly like Michael Jackson's hair," I said, pointing at my head. She looked over at my mom who just sat there, casually flipping through a magazine. The lady shrugged, spun me around to face the center of the room and–I couldn't believe it–began cutting my hair!
She snipped, brushed, combed and spruced and the whole while I had the magic of "P.Y.T." coursing through my little eight year old veins. I'm sure my eyes looked crazed. Could this really be happening? Michael Jackson's hair! On my head!
A little whisk of the brush at the back of my neck, and then the lady spun me around to face the mirror. It was like Christmas on a roller coaster with a million puppies. I felt a huge anticipatory smile–all teeth and mania–spread across my face as I came into focus in the mirror, and there, above my little face smiling all crazy, was, yes, the exact same bowl-cut I always got.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
Comments (7)
I remember that day. Yep, it happened exactly like that!!
Your Mom
I always feel a bit sad from celebrity deaths — those entertainers who I admired for their ability to expose their spirits the way they did…
Never have I teared up. I didn't cry. But I teared up a couple of times. I wanted to make movies because of "Moonwalker". I taped it off the TV and watched it again and again and again. I would wake up late at night and watch the "Scream" video he did with his sister because it just amazed me. The dancing, singing, the filmmaking. I couldn't dance, not like him. But I listened to his music, watch what he did. And he was amazing.
I used to go to the local theater and play the Moonwalker arcade game. Just for that game. The man had an arcade game!
I am still in disbelief. I knew him before I was born…
Good story, Travis Nichols.
The real tragedy here is that the commercialization of pop culture always ends up in the commercialization of the real life individual "star." De-ja vu all over again.
Travis, I am even moreso in love with you now for being the person that wrote this blog on the foundation website.
The most recent poem I had appear anywhere was in Travis's hotline-forum, weird deer (weirddeer.com). He posted it on June 17th and it was about Michael Jackson, which feels like especially weird timing to me now, given the circumstances. Travis also happened to choose an excellent graphic, to accompany the poem, from the arcade game mentioned in the comment above. Alas. Coincidences.
Of course, this MJ death stuff has already been drawn out too far and is, in most ways, grotesque. The fact that it's completely eclipsed any further coverage of Tehran hasn't gotten any attention, from what I've seen. However, i think this obsession of America's (the world's?) is justified in ways we don't even understand really, more closely linked to the horrors in Tehran than we realize, too.
In a recent post on his blog (http://behindthelinespoetry.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-jackson-is-symptom-of-our.html), poet Philip Metres says "Michael Jackson is a symptom of our national illness." I think this is spot on; the reason, I suspect, why people have not gotten over this musician's death is because he was a real live person that perfect strangers felt comfortable hating and judging and treating horrifically from afar.
People go on about the litany of the man's problems, speculating what is true, what is false, etc. But whether accusations are true or not is almost secondary in importance here. What's of primary importance is that the majority of people who recognized that the man had problems–rather than being moved to compassion or some sort of action that could've helped resolve those problems–unionized only to crucify him.
Of course Michael Jackson was a prodigious pop musician and of course he affected many lives in positive ways…but I think the reason his death has been dwelled upon to this capacity is because he's the most recent personification of human's cruelty to human. Humans dehumanizing a person they don't understand, and thereby taking the first important steps in completely devaluing human life. Now that Michael Jackson is dead, the rest of the world will never have a chance to redeem themselves from treating a stranger so inhumanely from afar. It's obviously profane to compare Tehran to the King of Pop; that being said, I think Metres calling Jackson a "symptom" is apropos. However, I think the "disease" applies to our whole species, not just the nation. The thinking that dehumanized Jackson in the eyes of the world is the same thinking that is justifying mass murder across the globe today. The same thinking that has justified it since the first time. If we can't manage to generate compassion in ourselves for one person who's blatantly in trouble, what hope do we have in resolving wars that have existed longer than any of us?
Grieve not the death of Michael Jackson. Grieve for the living. Grieve us, who still have not found a way to exist on this planet together without brutalizing each other.
Too Grandiose?
Thanks again, Trav.
Goodbye Michael
A star has been plucked from the sky.
The sky is now dimmer.
It happened on June 25th.
A day, we will always remember.
Never again to see Michael's smile light up the skies.
Never again to see him moonwalk across the stage as his fans cries.
Never again to hear him sing Billie Jean.
To the roaring sound of his fans' screams.
A brother of the sun has been taken away.
But in our hearts his music will always stay.
Michael Jackson will now dance among the clouds.
And in the heavens, you will still hear him singing loud and proud.

Don't miss the rest of the Aubrey/Maturin series.
©1986 Patrick O'Brian; (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC
"The best historical novels ever written." (The New York Times Book Review)
"No writer alive can move one as O'Brian can; no one can make you laugh so loud with hilarity, whiten your knuckles with unbearable tension or choke with emotion. He is the master." (Irish Times)
"Patrick Tull is a master"
I love the entire series as books. I didn't really get how wonderful audiobooks can be, though, until I heard these readings by Patrick Tull. They are superb -- the variety of voices and accents -- and he captures Jack Aubrey and especially Stephen Maturin to perfection. If you love the series, do yourself a favor and get the version read by Patrick Tull. I tried the Simon Vance version, and in my opinion it doesn't compare.
"Most Moving"
Just when you thought you'd had enough of this series, around the time the man hating tattooed Polynesian gals who sailed the sea looking to deprive men of their manhood with obsidian knives showed up in The Far Side of the World, and you were positively starved for some heroic naval action, you probably gave a heavy sigh when you read the description of this book. You have also probably read of Thomas Cochrane's career – the actual Royal Navy Captain who inspired O'Brian's Jack - and were wincing, knowing what was coming.
Buy this book. Read it, listen to it, find some way to insert it into your brain by any manner you prefer. Despite the pain, the anguish, and the infuriating forces aligned against Aubrey, this book has the most moving scene of the series. As one O'Brian reviewer once put it, "I will not say I cried, but I will not say I did not."
"The doctor saves more than just Jack"
In fact, the doctor saves the whole book.
The first half of the book is dreadful. I would guess that, collectively, nearly an hour is spent on "our story thus far." There's goings on between Jack and his father, along with Stephen and his intelligence people. I just couldn't get interested, and in fact, set the story aside on two occasions.
Then, near the end of the first part, it gets going, and keeps going. In perhaps the most moving chapter of the entire series, Jack finds out who is friends really are. Outstanding.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"When virtue spooms before a prosperous gale"
"When virtue spooms before a prosperous gale
My heaving wishes help to fill the sail"
- John Dryden, The Hind And The Panther
There is a fairly exciting cat and mouse chase in this book, but for the most part 'The Reverse of the Medal' involves another Captain Jack Aubrey financial mistake. In what I'll only describe as a mix between a classic economic espionage novel ala John le Carré and David Mamet's The Spanish Prisoner, Jack Aubrey loses about everything. At the same time, Dr. Maturin is trying to take care of his friend financially by procuring the Surprise at a Navy auction all while dealing with the absence of his mercurial wife.
Without divulging too much of the plot, let me just say that one of the final chapters of this novel actually made me cry. It wasn't sad, per se, but the tears that swell up when you witness men doing manly things to help other men. Anyway, it was beautiful and touching and worth the time.
"A strong entry"
One of the better recent works in this series. The novel where maturin fully comes into his own, and possibly surpasses Aubrey as the most interesting character.
"a Close One"
This book follows the rest of the series in it's general make up and story line, and for the first time i felt a wee bit of boredom creep into my listening. UNTIL the last 3 hours! Masterful story telling that literally brought me to tears. Stick with this one it has an electric ending that made me instantly buy the next one.
"A turning point, as the name implies"
I think these books are meant for re-reading, but I do think it helps to have the perspective I read after finishing. That this is an inflection point, where Jack's and Stephen's lives are changed significantly. Enjoyed this one, even though not as much naval action.
""stared like a cod fish on a slab""
every sentence, every scene is a picture so real you feel like you're in it
"Just gets better and better"
Patrick O'Brian has created a world of people that have drawn me in and become of personal concern. I suffer with the characters in their trials and revel in their successes. The books just get better and better. Patrick Tull brings the book to life as always.
"The Blend of Two Masters"
This book is the start of a great story arc of the series that master author O'Brian has gifted to us and that master reader Tull has illustrated so beautifully.
"Reverse of the Medal" is part of the larger Aubrey/Maturin mosaic and is therefore enriched by the previous (and subsequent) volumes.
You'll find a test at the end of Chapter 9 (spoiler alert) when Jack Aubrey is led to the pillory for the crime he did not commit. A voice pierces the silence when the last bolt is thrown - I always imagine it to be Bonden or Pullings - and cries out, "Off hats."
That scene has always been difficult for me to read without pause. What a reaction O'Brian has sculpted! Hundreds of Royal Navy sailors, the honor guard of Captian Jack Aubrey of the Navy, erupting in a full-throated battle cheer; the kind of sound that warmed the heart of mariners and chilled the spine of adversaries. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the cloister where the conspirators stood overlooking the scene like a parcel of would-be Olympiads.
The series is a magnificent blending of two masterful talents.

Fisher, Hoenig & Blair 01:25:26-01:28:01 If the mega-institutions (SIFI's or "systemically important financial institutions") were reduced to manageable sizes and the "perceived subsidy" were coincidentally scaled back, the financial system would be rationalized such that Title 2 regulations along with a massive bureaucracy & procedure would no longer be necessary. Other regulations may unwittingly encourage consolidation, but Title 2 restrictions are those already required of smaller scale community institutions. close

You were sitting by your window, daydreaming as usual with your headphones on. It was one of those days where you wanted to be alone; blocking out the outside world. Your imagination was better anyways. You look out your window, you see that the streets and land had been covered in white. Great, it had snowed. You sighed and shivered a bit as you closed your blinds. You hated snow, it was so cold and wet. . Sure, it was beautiful to look at. . but you hated moving around in it. This must have been why you thought it'd be best to stay inside today. You sigh, slumping down on your bed. It was obvious that you were awfully bored, maybe even lonely. You now wished that somebody, anybody would come and talk to you.
What seemed like a few minutes later, you must have drifted back into a daydream. . . because the next thing you heard was your mother shaking you, telling you to wake up. You groaned, not wanting to get up. "What is it mum?" You ask her tiredly, rubbing your eyes.

I'm interested in linking energetics and functional morphology to ecology in the great apes and humans. How do the energetic physiology and musculoskeletal anatomy of apes and humans reflect our ecological niche and evolutionary history?
My research uses a combined modeling and experimental approach to test hypotheses regarding selection pressures shaping metabolic physiology and functional anatomy in apes, humans, and extinct hominins. I investigate these hypotheses by measuring metabolic energy expenditure in apes, humans, and other species, and by exploring optimal control and morphological solutions to different selection pressures through numerical and computer modeling.
I'm currently involved in a multiyear project to measure daily energy use in the great apes and human foragers using the doubly-labeled water method. These measurements are needed to compare and understand the evolved energy-use strategies and evolutionary trajectories of the great apes and humans. I'm also involved in the ongoing excavations in the Lower Paleolithic site of Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. Fieldwork there provides an exciting opportunity to apply results from the lab to the fossil record. Dated to 1.8 mya, Dmanisi is a particularly interesting site as it's the earliest evidence of hominids (Homo ergaster) outside of Africa.

Sometimes New Zealand's cricketers require an event to galvanise them into a fighting unit. Other times, such as after Nathan McCullum's disallowed catch in Friday night's loss to Sri Lanka, they need to temper any understandable fury.
In 1981 they lost a one-day international to Australia as a result of Trevor Chappell's underarm delivery off the last ball to prevent a six to tie. It has stirred transtasman contests since.
In 1985, Lance Cairns was sconed (sans helmet) from short-pitched Wasim Akram bowling in a test against Pakistan at Carisbrook. Jeremy Coney and Ewen Chatfield consequently made 50 for the final wicket to win the test.
In 2008, England captain Paul Collingwood would not reverse a run out appeal on Grant Elliott after he clashed with bowler Ryan Sidebottom and fell during a short single.
New Zealand won and Collingwood was snubbed at the dressing room door until he apologised post-match.
The theme of those incidents is that the spirit of cricket was transgressed and it inspired New Zealand to fine feats. There was no such luck on Friday at Wankhede Stadium against Sri Lanka. Mahela Jayawardene questioned the veracity of McCullum's caught-and-bowled in the 24th over with Sri Lanka 87 for two. McCullum's dive to short midwicket after his follow-through was a determined effort and he came up with the ball clasped in his thumb, middle and forefingers.
But Jayawardene stood his ground and kept his innings alive. He was given the benefit of the doubt by the third umpire, despite what seemed evidence to the contrary.
McCullum's disappointment was palpable and he had firm words with Jayawardene and umpire Asad Rauf. His team-mates expressed similar feelings.
Jayawardene could have taken McCullum's word, as is common practice, but he exercised his options and emerged triumphant. He put on 40 more runs to finish with 66 and Sri Lanka had a 145-run partnership for the third wicket which represented the winning of the match.
Initially the decision seemed to do New Zealand a favour.
The Black Caps fielded ferociously and bowled in a tight channel which gave the Sri Lankans limited room to do much more than work the ball for singles. Up until the 35th over, they scored at a run rate just above four and had not hit two boundaries in the same over.
But the frustration whittled away, culminating in Brendon McCullum edging a ball to Jayawardene in the slips and having the third umpire agree he had taken the catch cleanly.
Intriguingly McCullum will play under Jayawardene's captaincy as part of the new Kochi Indian Premier League franchise.
With one more shot at staying in the tournament, New Zealand must heed this lesson. Their aggression needs to be channelled after the initial anger wears off.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Thank you for the thoughts.
Alehouse - good news.
Blisters - enjoy.
Disappointed with my race, even though I knew I wasn't in race shape and it was very muddy and ankle deep in water in places so not a fast course for some reason I still hope for a miracle! Knew I was in trouble as I ran 3.5 miles to the start, HR was at the top of Z2 despite me being very comfortable and chatting. Start of the race was very congested and it was a couple of hundred metres (once the people who had started too near the front hit the first real puddles and stopped to walk round them!) before the congestion eased. Loads of my club running and despite my never going they were very supportive as I was wearing the vest. Settled down to work hard knowing that it was slow. Somewhere in the second mile my right calf went very tight and wooden, it felt as though it was going to pop and when my left one joined in and I saw that my HR was 170 and I was just scraping under 8 min/miles I came the closest I ever have to a voluntary DNF, just wasn't sure it was worth the risk just to get some miles and record a slow 10k but stubbornness took over and I tried to relax and just run through it. I decided that even if I had to ease off and jog it in I would still have the miles in my legs and wouldn't have set a precedent for myself by quitting. The legs eased after a mile or so and I was running better but still slowly for the effort level. It was a three lap course and I just made it across the start line as the winner hit the finish line - a small victory in not being lapped. The endurance kicked in here and I began to close on the people in front of me, picking off quite a few including three clubmates who had gone past me in the second lap. I seemed to move past and hold my own quite strongly though a few middle aged men put on a huge sprint to overtake me about 50m out - including one clubmate - and I had nothing to respond with. Crossed the line in a disappointing 49.12 (Garmin time). Took a while and a few puffs of the faithful inhaler to get my breath back then bimbled the short way home for a total of 11 miles. AHR 172 MHR 181 (184 is the highest I have ever seen).
What: hopefully a bike ride if the fog lifts
Why: haven't ridden long this week
Last hard: last night was much harder than it should have been
Last rest: 11/6
Lyrics - vaguely familiar but no.
Well toughed out LMH! And on that course you were never going to break many records.
Lyrics: vaguely familar, but no here, too
What: off to help at a parkrun
Why: the launch of a new one...I now have three within walking distance of my house, which is rather greedy.
And a beautiful sunny day for it!
Yesterdays lyrics: Crowded House.'Always take the weather with you'
What: Session later
Why: Lots of washing from younger sons 5 days inthe Lake District
Pammie: Oh Yes, house noise levels 'getting back to normal'.
Walked Geordie for 45min ish. Nice sunny morning up here in West of Scotland today.
Lyrics: Not sure...
LMH: Hope calf is okay.
Back later.
Great toughing out there LMH. Your base endurance came out of the back pocket on that one. It's funny how tired legs seem to ease up once they've been told to just get on with it. Amusing is the necessity for testosterone junkies to get a "chick" on the line. What? You didn't know that "chicking" was an official sport? It works both ways. Not being chicked means beating all the women in the field. Of course, you can chick a couple of heroes on the final straight.
Right I'm off.
Oh I know about 'chicking' Blisters - I do quite a lot of it in my tri's I do have a tendency to acknowledge whatever is hurting but then tell it that I'm going to keep going any way so it might as well get on with it and strangely enough it does seem to help. 53 miles on the bike done in the dry and relative warmth - result.
birkmyre - it gave me a bit of gyp in the small hours, fizzing and popping but seems fine this morning thankfully. Indeed walking Grace loosened everything nicely.
Alehouse - three within walking distance? That's greedy Whilst it was never going to be a fast time on the course what worries me is the high HR on the run down and the fact that I can't even manage half marathon pace. I'm miles away from where I was this far out from VLM, debating whether I can get into shape for Abingdon or not.
Hope you're sleeping well Pammie.
LMH: hats off to you for not quitting. It's so frustrating when your HR is through the roof while the pace is nowhere near where it should be and there's nothing you can do about it. I had exactly the same experience in a 10k last year. It was in September, about 5 weeks out from my autumn marathon and the plan had been to do it as part of a 22 miler. I had run about 10k as a very slow warm up, then 10k race and a very slow jog home for another 15k. Only the race bit never happened. Like you my HR was through the roof on the warmup already (I blamed the heat) and by the time the race bit came there was no way I could even get near HM pace, nevermind close to 10k. I ended up with 49:55 but felt like I just busted my gut running sub 40. It was so unbelievably hard. The 15k jog home was a death march with frequent walk breaks. Ugh. Couple of days later everything was back to normal. We are human after all and some days we are just not meant to be racing I guess. Chin up.
Ale: good to see that the physio is seeing progress. And don't worry about me me me posts. It's what this forum is all about. If everyone posted only their PBs and always had brilliant runs it'd be boring. Real life runners have to deal with lots of ups and downs - generally more downs than ups I dare say. I find it helps to offload some of your frustrations on a forum of likeminded virtual friends as all of us have been there before. Non runners are sometimes the last ones you want to talk to
Enjoy the weekend. I have a week off from work (bliss!!) and guess what: the weather is improving. Yay! Mr. Chick is just researching some bike rides we want to do next week. No money for fancy hols but day trips with a couple of hours in the saddle don't cost much.
whoops. forgot to post my training
what: 6 slow miles
why: it was warm
last hard: Thursday
last rest: Monday
lyrics: no
Excellent report LMH. Not guilty of 'chicking'!
Parkrun for me, 20:36, might have twigged my groin in the warmdown. Can walk on it and lightly jog but the pain occasionally shoots down my leg.
Thanks chickadee. I think I'm frustrated as I just can't seem to get right since my virus. RHR is where it should be now and I'm loads better than I was, swimming is coming back and biking isn't too far off but I just can't seem to find my run form. Mark thinks that I may still have a low level virus - hence the continued fatigue - but I'm not convinced. The weather is forecast to improve here too, I'm home alone as Mark flew to France today to race L'Alpe D'Huez and hoping to make the most with some more rides. Enjoy your holiday.
7d - I hope that it's nothing serious and goes as quickly as it came.
LMH Well done for finishing even with not the esult you wated but that shows how tough you are, others would have bailed out. May be talking out of my **** but sometimes its harder to get back after a virus even when its gone could be the cycling swimming is ok as its non weightbearing but i'm not a medic so feel free to ignore
7D hoppe whatever it is is temporary and gone soon
Ended up doing my newfavourite session 15 minues out and back planned a route leaving out main roqda to cross and different from last time but as i started realised i was doing the cheats version as it as mainly uphill on the start but overall pleased as the out was just over 1½ miles so back home for 3.05 miles and 28:45
Wise words, Chick!
7D: well run today...am I right that would be your second quickest 5k? I would back off for a couple of days, even if the niggle comes to nothing: you have punished the body a bit with two hard races in less than 40 hours! Do you do any stretching at all? What does a typical pre-race warm-up consist of? Should you feel so inclined the Burnage parkrun is very easy to get too from town: a mile jog from my local station! Not as quick as Platt Fields, though.
Alehouse: yeah, I'm going to back off, probably will knock tomorrow's long run on the head and that's it for racing for a little while. Today's warm up was similar to Thursday: individual stretches to all the leg muscles and connecting joints (groin/knee/ankle/back), a couple of laps of the track working incrementally toward a steady tempo, a few little sprints, 25-30 mins total all in all.
Didn't know Burmage had a parkrun - just checked, first edition today - one for the list!
LMH - well battled
Ale - good to see there is progress
7D - good effort
Me - 1st Anniversary at Andover parkrun and 1st sub 20 there this year so happy with 19:44, 3m of warm up / cool down then 6.5m later on.
Trying to chill now, as have officially handed in my resignation and accepted the new job, which will mean just commuting to Reading and back each day about 55 mins on the train with 5 mins one end and 10 the other..... so much better than being all over the country.
Take care
Congrats again on the job RFJ, make sure you take in the sights of Reading, the Oracle and, err, help me out here. Also well done on the sub-20 for the year. Mildly envious.
Nice work at ANdover, RFJ.
7D: hopefully I have messaged you!

Pitt county residents try their hand at law enforcement tactics
Citizens Academy members hone their shooting skills
GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY - Pitt county residents got some hands-on firearm training from Pitt County Sheriff's deputies.
It's called Citizens Academy, and it's aimed at teaching ordinary people the ways of the law. Firearm safety and proficiency was the lesson slated for Monday's class.
Under the supervision of Pitt County Sheriff's officials, citizens tried their hand at shooting. For many of them, it was the first time handling a firearm. "Any time you got someone who's got a gun for the first time in their hands, it makes you a little nervous," said Sheriff Neil Elks. "But they really did a good job. They listened to our instructors very well this morning."
For some, the training is simply for fun. Others, however, have real-life reasons for participating. "If somebody comes into my house I'm not going to wait and ask them are you a good guy or a bad guy," said Nancy Niemi, of Greenville. "I'm going to shoot."
Even for self-proclaimed semi-experienced shooters, like Greenville's Robert Joyner, the training is valuable. Not only for their protection, but the protection of those around them. "You can never be too safe. You don't point at anything you don't intend to shoot," said Joyner. "I was taught to hunt when I was a kid, which kids are not taught today. So they don't know anything about gun safety."
Overall, it seems the training was a success, adding to the comradery already shared between the Sheriff's Office and Citizens Academy members. "They're just so interested in what we do for a living and that is very encouraging to me. Inspires me to come out here and do this more," said Sheriff Elks.
Citizens Academy members will continue their training. Up next, virtual reality similar to an exercise shown in a story aired on Newschannel12 on July 16th, followed by processing a crime scene and responding to real-life situations in a simulated exercise.
Those interested in participating in Citizens Academy should contact the Pitt County Sheriff's Office.

Number of WES Applications and YoY Percentage Change from Prospective Indian Undergraduate Students
Dubbed Gen-Q, an increasing number of India's college-age population (and their families) now have the financial wherewithal to fund an overseas education. However, Indian enrollments at U.S. institutions of higher education, especially at the undergraduate level, have been decreasing in recent years. Is there any evidence to suggest that this trend might be set to reverse?
More recent figures from World Education Services suggest that there might be a resurgence of interest underway, with the number of applications for credential evaluation received by WES from college-ready Indians (17-20 years old) growing significantly over the last two admissions cycles (Fall 2011 to Fall 2012).
Given that international students apply for credential evaluation, on average, nine months to a year in advance of a new academic session, WES applications received in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2011 and the first quarter (Q1) of this year can be seen as leading indicators of student applicant interest for the Fall 2012 cycle. The number of WES applications from Q4'10 to Q1'11 in the relevant Indian age group grew by 47 percent (predictive for Fall 2011), followed by slower - but still significant - growth of 18 percent for Fall 2012 (Q4'11-Q1'12).
Several factors can be seen to have contributed to the recent growth, including an expanding college-age population, an exploding number of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI), domestic capacity constraints, and an increasing desire among Indian students for top quality higher educational experiences. In contrast, slower percentage growth for the Fall 2012 application cycle might partially be explained by the almost
20 percent depreciation in the rupee. According to Rahul Choudaha, Director of WES' Research & Advisory Services, the pipeline for Indian undergraduate enrollments, beginning in 2015, is set for more consistent and sustained growth. This growth will be driven by a combination of factors including an expanded college-age population, ability to pay, and the slow rate of educational reform in India.
