1.1 What are the main corporate entities to be discussed?
In Romania, there is a primary legislation source applicable to all companies (Companies Law no. 31/1990), which sets mandatory rules that can be considered as a minimum set of rules and principles for joint stock companies in the corporate governance field. This chapter focuses on general applicable provisions.
However, the main corporate entities for which specific corporate governance regulations have been adopted are:
a) Under the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 109/2011 concerning the corporate governance of state‐owned enterprises (hereinafter, GEO no. 109/2011): mandatory compliance for Romanian public enterprises.
The notion of public enterprises consists of:
i) autonomous public entitities (in Romanian, "regie autonomă") set up by the state or an administrative-territorial unit;
ii) national companies where the state or an administrative-territorial unit is the sole shareholder or majority shareholder; and
iii) companies to which one or more of the public enterprises mentioned above (in points i) and ii)) hold a major participation or a participation which ensures control.
They are exempted from the provisions of GEO no. 109/2011 regarding banking financial companies and insurance and reinsurance companies, as well as companies conducting activities of national interest on defence, public order and national security.
b) Under the Regulation no. 2/2016 on the application of corporate governance principles by entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority (hereinafter, FSA) which entered into force on 23 March 2016 and shall be applied starting from 1 January 2017: mandatory compliance for companies operating on non-banking financial markets and who are authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA.
These are the following:
1. financial investment services companies;
2. investment management companies;
3. collective investment undertakings/alternative investment funds (AIF), established by the articles of incorporation;
4. alternative investment fund managers (AIFM);
5. central depositories;
6. clearing house/central counterparty;
7. market operators/system;
8. insurance and/or reinsurance brokers; and
9. administrators of private pension funds and voluntary pension fund managers.
This Regulation shall be applied in connection with specific provisions relating to the governance system set out in specific legislation applicable to regulated entities.
In the Capital Market Law no. 297/2004, there are additional rules and principles for companies admitted to trading on stock markets.
c) Under the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Bucharest Stock Exchange (hereinafter, BSE): on a voluntarily basis for the companies listed on the BSE.
1.2 What are the main legislative, regulatory and other corporate governance sources?
Mandatory corporate governance sources:
a) Companies Law no. 31/1990;
b) Capital Market Law no. 297/2004, which regulates the establishment and functioning of financial instruments markets with their specific institutions and operations, as well as collective investment undertakings, with the purpose of raising funds through investments in financial instruments;
c) GEO no. 109/2011 concerning the corporate governance of state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) – especially Chapter 5; and
d) Regulation no. 2/2016 on the application of corporate governance principles by entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA, which entered into force on 23 March 2016 and shall be applied starting from 1 January 2017. According to Article 3 of GEO no. 93/2012 concerning the organisation of FSA, this organism is entitled to issue mandatory regulation and to apply sanctions.
Non-mandatory corporate governance sources refer to regulations issued by different organisms, such as regulated market operators (BSE, SIBEX) and the central depositories or clearing houses which may establish specific rules and principles for targeted companies.
The best-known non-mandatory corporate governance source is the Code of Corporate Governance, which was issued by the BSE on 11 September 2015 and which entered into force on 4 January 2016. This is currently applicable together with the Compendium of Corporate Governance practices, explaining the principles and provisions of the BSE's Code of Corporate Governance and providing information about international best practices. The Manual for Reporting Corporate Governance aims to help companies disclose corporate governance information and explain deviations from the BSE's Code of Corporate Governance.
Furthermore, even the American Chamber of Commerce in Romania (AmCham) issued a Code of Corporate Governance. According to the Preamble of this Code, it establishes a set of principles and recommendations for joint stock companies registered in Romania and members of AmCham Romania. Its aim is to cover principles in the Romanian legislation regarding companies, as well as to introduce new recommendations where the law is silent and, thus, where there are doubts.
Last, but not least, there are also non-regulatory corporate governance sources inserted in the articles of association or bylaws of the company (Please note that, in this chapter, reference to bylaws shall be considered as being made to articles of association and to bylaws).
1.3 What are the current topical issues, developments, trends and challenges in corporate governance?
The Final Report on the evaluation of the implementation of GEO no. 109/2011 issued by the Ministry of Public Finance mentions that the progress in implementing the GEO is disappointing. Board members who were removed from these positions were replaced with temporary members, and in more than 200 companies in the central government's portfolio, the appointment and selection process had not even started.
"There is no institution clearly responsible for overall monitoring of the implementation of the GEO no. 109/2011. There are no deadlines or penalties imposed for non-compliance. Implementing Agencies are central government entities that do not have proper incentives to foster implementation. On the contrary, it is possible that ministries are more interested in maintaining the current situation.
One of the worst consequences of politicisation is unstable governance in public enterprises. Each cabinet reshuffle, each change of the ruling coalition was associated with changes in the composition of general directors and Boards of public enterprises."
As an example of the lack of interest, the bill for the approval of GEO no. 109/2011 concerning the corporate governance of state‐owned enterprises registered at the Parliament under no. PL-x 47/2012 was sent for further report to the Standing Committees of the Chamber of Deputies on 23 October 2012, and the bill has not been included on the agenda ever since.
The most obvious impact is that GEO no. 109/2011 brought public enterprises sector and its problems on the public agenda.
On the other hand, private joint stock companies seem to have assumed more seriously the rules and principles of corporate governance issued by the organisms that regulates them.

RENO, Nev. — Former President Bill Clinton came out swinging against Sen. Bernie Sanders here on Friday, telling supporters that his wife's rival in the presidential race has been operating "remarkably fact free."
"Now, There's been a lot of passion in this primary, and it's fine with me — Hillary's opponent jumped all over me last night, talked about how bad I'd been for African Americans and poor people."" Clinton said, referring to Thursday night's MSNBC/Telemundo town hall.
Sanders said he thinks Bill Clinton did a "pretty good job as president," but criticized Clinton's trade and regulatory policies. The Vermont senator said Bill Clinton's welfare reform legislation "ended up increasing extreme poverty in America for the poorest children in this country." He added that he spoke out against it because, "I thought that was scapegoating some of the most vulnerable people in this country."
"Let me just say this," Clinton said, "that campaign has been remarkably fact free and a lot of the numbers don't add up."
Clinton continued to cheers by citing a piece in the New York Times today in which "the nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman — the most liberal economist writing on a regular basis, who does not work for her, said once again we do not need two parties practicing voodoo economics."
In his short remarks at a field office, Clinton also criticized Sanders for what he called dismissing critics as "shields of Hillary or part of the establishment," instead suggesting Sanders doesn't accept the political realities.
"Progress is hard," Clinton continued, "and nobody who's lived through the last seven years, believes Obama party lost the house in 2010 and lost the senate in 2014 because it wasn't left wing enough."
"I mean, you know, give me a break," Clinton said.
President Clinton also used his remarks to highlight his wife's economic plans, but in a slight toward Sanders, said "not all of our problems are economic." Clinton highlighted the secretary's immigration proposals, college affordability plans, and clean energy attacks.
He says the strong Republican opposition to Hillary shows that they see her as a bigger threat. "They devoted themselves three years to sliming her. What does that tell you?" Clinton asked.
"They are begging you, please do not nominate, I mean she's actually done something," he said.

The R3CEV blockchain consortium will lose one of its founding banks as it continues to explore blockchain in the new year.
Goldman Sachs has chosen not to continue working with the group despite its previous participation as one of nine founding banks back when R3 was founded two years ago.
Does this mean Goldman has lost its interest in the potential of blockchain? That seems unlikely, according to Chris O'Brien, founder of Linchpin Partnerships.
O'Brien told Bank Innovation:
I'd say it sounds more like a vote of 'no confidence' in R3 than in the blockchain itself. The interesting question will be: do other prominent banks follow?
As Goldman Sachs will reportedly continue to explore blockchain technology on its own, and counts among its many investments blockchain companies such as Circle, that seems to be the case.
Whether other prominent banks follow its example will depend on the resources of the bank in question, as well as the incumbent's approach to financial innovation.
Says R3 of the move:
As with any project of this scale and scope, we always expected the make-up of the consortium to change over time. Developing technology like this requires dedication and significant resources, and our diverse pool of members all have different capacities and capabilities which naturally change over time.
According to a recent study by Coindesk, while interest in blockchain or in distributed ledger technology remains high, especially for banks and other financial institutions, venture capital interest in funding saw a bit of a decline in the last quarter.
This could be due to the fact that more and more banks are running independent blockchain projects, with 70 separate blockchain proof-of-concepts being announced in Q3 2016, according to the study.
Says Peter Loop, Associate Vice President and Principal Technology Architect for Infosys, a global leader in technology services and consulting:
2017 will be the year of blockchain: Despite misconceptions that blockchain is years away, we'll see full deployments in financial services, insurance and healthcare industries next year. This will completely disrupt our payment systems on an international scale – revenue models and other processes will become obsolete, and payment methods will become faster, cheaper and safer.
Whether or not Goldman Sachs will be the one to usher in the much-awaited Year of the blockchain with its own project remains to be seen.1 - Reader Likes This Post

Well Said
In her introduction to this year's edition of this popular anthology series, Cynthia Ozick stakes out her definition of the essay versus the article. The article may be "timely and topical" but it is "likely to be stale within a month." By contrast, the essay is timeless; it abandons "rage and revenge" and instead bears a "certain quietude...a kind of detachment...the essay is by and large a serene and melancholic form."
It's possible to read this definition as a deliberate rebuke to the current craze for memoir, the prevailing trend in nonfiction toward the explicit and confessional. First-person accounts of incest, infidelity, self-mutilation, Tourette's syndrome, heroin habits, and spanking fetishes seem to be everywhere these days, but they're absent in this volume. Instead, Ozick has defiantly chosen to present recent writing that lacks anger or sordid detail. The 25 essays she's gathered are uniformly gentle and reflective, well-crafted and calm.
The essayists in this volume eschew rage for what contributor André Aciman refers to as "the beauty of remembering." Childhood is not a battlefield but a source of constant discovery and joy. Brian Doyle lovingly recounts his experiences as a "great altar boy"; Oliver Sacks writes of the "delicious transformation" found in summer holiday swims; John Updike recalls his passionate adolescent fixation with comic-book art; Helen Barolini praises the lessons learned from a benevolent, inspirational Italian tutor. Several authors offer wry observations on culture. Saul Bellow critiques "modern imagemaking" describing photographers as "demonic, sadistic camera technicians." Sven Birkerts ponders the fate of reading in an age of channel surfing the "climate of distractedness that envelops us." Jeremy Bernstein describes a run-in with a rather defeated Stephen Spender, while James Wood lambastes a "tedious" Broadway production of "A Doll's House." Two essayists take on the unfashionable subject matter of aging. In "Will You Still Feed Me?" Joseph Epstein proudly details his take on reaching the "stately age of sixty," while William Maxwell reflects on his waning years in "Nearing Ninety."
A standout essay in this collection is "A Visit to Camelot." In this posthumous piece, critic Diane Trilling recounts a dinner party at the White House in 1962. Surrounded by literary luminaries such as James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, and Robert Frost, Trilling and her husband drink champagne and engage in flirtatious banter with John and Jackie Kennedy. The piece reads like a combination of Noël Coward and Edith Wharton, full of cutting observations and evocative descriptions of manners and costumes. Trilling offers a fascinating portrait of the famed Camelot: She hints at the strain in the marriage between the Kennedys, the boredom and reckless energy that existed within their world of protocol. Yet she never resorts to gossip or cruel asides as she speaks of the President and his wife, and her style is so discreet and charming, a welcome antidote to all the current tawdry and vitriolic prose about the White House today. In much the same way, these collected essays offer a genteel and calm respite from the brash and vulgar.

LG Electronics - A/C Systems
Air Conditioning - Multi V S - ARTCOOL - EcoV Heat Recovery - Air-to-Water - VRF - Ventilation
Air Conditioning
LG manufactured their first air conditioning unit in Korea in 1968, and has since remained at the forefront of HVAC innovation.
Committed to providing reliable, innovative and technically advanced air conditioning systems, heat pumps, ventilation and smart controls, LG systems offer building users and occupiers a completely efficient and comfortable environment.
LG in the UK offer an exceptional pre and after sales service along with two training academies positioned in the South and North.
Multi V S 12.1kW ~ 33.6kW
Designed for small to medium-sized applications, where outdoor unit location issues hinder the application of traditional VRF or indeed where conventional systems are simply too large or too heavy.
LG can provide an alternative solution through the Multi V S range, which incorporates the fan(s) discharge on the side (as opposed to the top).
There are six units in the line-up with both single and three phase options, with the largest outdoor unit connecting to a maximum of 20 indoor units, the opportunities to "mix and match" are extensive.
Operating range heating -20 ~ 18°C WB, cooling -5 ~ 43°C DB.
- Lower operational costs
- Sustainable energy benefits
- Tenant comfort
- Individual zoning
- Total piping length up to 300m (150m longest piping length) & outstanding elevation differences
Split Air Conditioners
High-performance and reliable units, designed for style and functionality, LG single split air conditioners offer an efficient and cost-effective way to create a comfortable environment.
The ARTCOOL range including the Stylist (complete with LED coloured lights) and the wall mounted Libero units come with a 10 year compressor warranty.
Multi Split air conditioning systems from LG allow you to control the temperature in several rooms at once keeping everyone comfortable.
Cassette units come with a range of features, such as wide jet air flow, independent vane operation and auto elevation grille.
EcoV Heat Recovery Ventilation
With today's concern for maintaining a healthy indoor environment, a safe, reliable, high-quality HVAC system featuring high efficiency heat exchangers with strong filters that remove contaminants effectively, can help your customer enjoy better indoor air – no matter what is happening outside.
Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
LG's Therma V air source, air-to-water heat pumps are an affordable and simple to use system that can be installed into any application, such as schools, small retail and offices.
The monobloc system comprises an all-in-one outdoor heat pump unit, or the split type system consisting of an outdoor unit connecting to an indoor heat exchanger unit.
Both types connect to the indoor wet central heating system as with a traditional boiler. It is also possible to combine Therma V with solar heating, taking advantage of free heating when it is available. A tank with twin coils is used in this process.

11KBW has appointed its first chief executive with the hire of David Stead, currently director of marketing and business development at patent attornies Gill Jennings & Every.
It is Stead's first appointment at the bar, having spent much of his career working in professional services. 11KBW silk Daniel Stillitz QC, who sits on the chambers' management board, said the decision to appoint a chief executive was taken because the set had reached a size where it needed a chief executive to help it operate in an "optimal way".
He added: "He'll help develop the strategy of chambers. It's a natural progression for us as we grow in size."
Stead said his priority would be to build a "roadmap" for chambers development over the next three years, working in tandem with members and the clerking team, which is lead by Philip Monham and Lucy Barbet.
"The chief executive role is a combination of being external facing, building a client base and a brand. Internally it's about helping barristers build their profile while working closely with the clerks," he said.
It comes as the bar undergoes some radical changes as a result of the Legal Services Act, the Jackson reforms and legal aid cuts. Stead commented: "The bar's changing. There are new rules and new structures; we need to know which are real and what's without doubt a distraction. Chambers have to start seeing themselves as SMEs."
Cornerstone Chambers, formerly 2-3 Gray's Inn Square, has also appointed a chief executive, bringing in Blake Lapthorn London senior partner Warren Foot to succeed Lynn Osborne, who has joined Hardwicke Buildings as operations director. Foot was a former managing partner of Tylo Lyons, which merged with Blake Lapthorn in July 2006.

In Tourer and Saloon editions, the new Mazda6 leads the pack in more than one segment. Select the rugged, larger Tourer model for greater carrying and towing power.
Exterior design
Sturdy roof rails and bright 17" alloy wheels set the Tourer apart from the Saloon. It has an expressive, curious face, created by the front fog lights and 'follow me home' courtesy lights.
Interior design
A wider, longer stance creates ample personal space inside for everyone to stretch, relax and get comfortable. You can see the Tourer's durable metal scuff plates as you get in. Full electric windows ensure all occupants can let more air and light into the cabin whenever they would like. When there are no passengers in the rear seats, fold the bench down to maximise the boot volume at 1,648 litres.
The SE, SE Nav, SE-L Nav and Sport Nav options are just the start of many ways to customise the Mazda6 Tourer. Where 'Nav' is part of the model name, anticipate the intelligent Mazda Navigation System on a 7" colour display.
Engines and performance
SE-L Nav and Sport Nav versions provide SKYACTIV-G petrol engine options alongside the SKYACTIV-D diesel engines available across the rest of the range. Activate the power with one press, and smooth out motorway journeys with the built-in cruise control.
Get the 150ps diesel engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission is the engine that pushes the estate to an impressive economy level of up to 67.3mpg combined.
Safety and technology
Both the Saloon and the Tourer have five stars in Mazda6's Euro NCAP safety testing. In the estate model, you can expect Hill Hold Assist and ISOFIX child seat attachments – both reliably secure. The Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control System will work to maintain smoother, safer motion. Front, side and curtain airbags are there to minimise the impact of any unexpected collisions
To stay alert and informed en route, connect a compatible smartphone to the car. Internet, radio and apps instantly become available, with menu navigation using the Mazda Multimedia Commander.
Contact Lancaster Mazda Birmingham to arrange a test drive
The Mazda6 Tourer can be yours today – book an appointment at Lancaster Mazda Birmingham. Our Mazda representatives will help you explore all your options.

Why do you not correct those problems before trying to make yourself disassociated with another obvious scam company? Many of us have purchased items from you that simply were not what your claim them to be and I for one returned my item and a month later you still have my money and I have nothing to show for it. I have sat on hold for your so-called return department for over 2 hours total, but if I want to buy something and push that option on your prompt someone answers immediately. I woud say you are no better than the company you are trying to disassociate with.

America's economic strength and future depend on ensuing a high-quality education for all children. We must make a strong commitment to education by strengthening our schools, fully funding special education and modernizing our classrooms. We must also work to reduce class size, increase access to higher education and make sure we have the best-trained, most qualified teachers in the world.
Modernizing America's Schools
The 21st Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act would provide critical investments needed to modernize, upgrade and repair school facilities across the country -- creating healthier, safer and more energy-efficient learning environments. The bill will improve education, create jobs, and encourage energy efficiency and the use of renewable resources in our schools.
Making College More Affordable
Congress has taken significant steps toward ensuring all students have access to the opportunities of higher education. Here are just a few of those important steps that I have strongly supported:
* Boosting higher education tax credits that make college more affordable for millions of low- and moderate-income students.
* Increasing the maximum Pell Grant.
* Adding $200 million to the vital Work-Study program that supports undergraduate and graduate students who work while attending college. The increased funding will allow an additional 133,000 students to participate.
* New investments in minority serving institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions, for critical support services that help recruit and retain students.
* Encouraging and rewarding public service by providing loan forgiveness for college graduates that go into public service professions, such as military officers, first responders, firefighters, nurses, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, early childhood educators, public defenders and librarians.
Investing in Early Childhood Development
We must be committed to providing strong support for preparing our youngest children for school. Early childhood education is critical to future academic success. Congress must continue to develop new programs to improve opportunities and outcomes, engage parents in their child's early learning and development, and improve the early education workforce.
Toward those ends, I strongly support the significant steps Congress has already taken including:
* $2.1 billion in additional funding for Head Start, which provides comprehensive development services to low-income preschool children. The funding ensures services for 110,000 additional children. The funding includes $1.1 billion for the vital Early Head Start infant and toddler program. Additionally, these investments will create 50,000 new jobs, increasing the demand for early educators, transportation providers and nutrition providers.
* $2 billion in additional funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant. This provides childcare services to an additional 300,000 children in low-income families so their parents can be at work.

Combine his abilities with his familiarity with Norv Turner and his offensive system, and you are looking at a guy who instantly becomes the best receiver in San Diego.
"Every minute, every second I'm starting to understand the transition. It's really a great opportunity for me. All I've known is the Miami Dolphins the past seven years. There were some rumors earlier before training camp that some stuff may happen, so I knew right then and there to be prepared if something does and I feel like I am. I'm ready to move on and get a fresh start to my career. I feel like I have a lot to offer and I haven't maximized my ability yet."
"I don't think it's going to be much of a transition, maybe a few words here and there. All the routes are the same and everybody runs the same routes. They may be called a little bit different but for the most part, I spent two years with Norv and I felt like that second year, I was really getting some of the stuff he wanted to do. I can pretty much step into that huddle and pretty much know everything that is going on right now."

Puncher & Wattmann
Our aim: to promote and support quality Australian writing
A comprehensive new anthology
Contemporary Australian Poetry
In the past 25 years, Australian poetry has reached a remarkable level of achievement. Never has the quality been stronger, nor the number of distinctive voices greater. The best poetry produced in this country is world-class. Australian poetry has become both self-sustaining – a major source of inspiration and dialogue for Australian practitioners – and also a vital part of the larger conversation in the English speaking world. Puncher & Wattmann has now published Contemporary Australian Poetry, bringing together this extraordinary accomplishment.
How do we do it?
P&W to date
So far P&W have published over 100 books, including seven anthologies, three biographies, eleven works of fiction, three works of critical non-fiction and at least 76 poetry collections.
Who are we?
Puncher & Wattmann was founded in 1975 by Gustave Puncher & Barry Wattmann during the poetry wars but became inactive after Puncher's major depression during the 1990s and Wattmann's disappearance while completing an ocean swim off Tamarama in 1994. The press was revived in 2005 by David Musgrave with prize-money from various awards given for his poetry. Since then the press has continued to grow, and we now have a staff of four, with many other helpers. We have published over 65 books, which have been shortlisted for or awarded over twenty major awards. Puncher & Wattmann boooks are distributed in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and PNG by Inbooks.
And more!
Praise for Philip Salom's new novel Waiting
According to Stephen Romei in his Ragged Claws column, a queue was lining up to review Waiting for the Weekend Australian. A very positive short review in the international magazine Monocle, describes Waiting as "...an insightful novel about big characters with very little in life, exploring what this says about the rest of us."
Antoni Jach has called Waiting "a bittersweet tale of the marginalised and the searching." and that it is "Weirdly moving, tender and insightful", while John Clarke

The Western Conference has been the power conference in the NBA since 1998, or post Jordan. A really good season in the West sometimes would only merit a 7th or 8th seed come playoff time. In the east, a record under .500 could still merit a 7th or 8th seed in the East. The Knicks have risen, and the Pacers and Nets have a loaded group that can compete with the Bulls or Heat. The East has now become the premiere conference in some eyes. Carmelo Anthony is aware of that shift in power, and told ESPN New York that "he's preparing for better competition in the East this season." "When I was in the Western Conference, everybody was talking about how the West is so much better," he told ESPNNewYork.com on Wednesday. "But now, the power has shifted back into the Eastern Conference, so we're ready. We're excited about that." "I think we have the talent," he said. "I think the most important thing is injuries, for one, and then everybody just coming together and just taking on the challenge as one. We can't let nothing else break that bond that we're going to build over the season." Melo has been working out in L.A. with his trainer, and said he's had a great summer. "[Idan and I] are always trying to figure out what's that next move or how we're going to push this year. And I think we did a great job of just coming up with something and just running with it," Melo said. "Just certain dieting things, just taking chances with different styles of training — not just doing stuff on the basketball court or in the weight room. I'm trying to just push the limit."

Ex-banker Sousa to become Ontario finance minister -reports
* Charles Sousa is former RBC banker, cabinet minister
* Seen sticking with 2017-18 target for balanced budget
* Swearing-in ceremony at 3 pm ET on Monday
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Ontario's incoming Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne has chosen former banker and cabinet minister Charles Sousa to become the province's next finance minister, according to media reports.
Wynne's office declined to confirm the reports and said the official announcement would not be made until later on Monday.
But the selection of her former leadership rival Sousa for the high-profile portfolio was widely expected, especially after Sousa endorsed Wynne at the party's leadership convention last month.
Wynne, who will be sworn in to replace Dalton McGuinty around 3 p.m. (2000 GMT), is set to become Ontario's first female leader, and the country's first openly gay premier.
Sousa worked at the Royal Bank of Canada for more than 20 years before entering politics. He served under McGuinty as the provincial minister of immigration. He also held the labor portfolio and was the minister in charge of the 2015 Pan American Games. Continued...

Chapter 4 - Pits (Part 2)Mature
As we waited for Lillian to finish eating and the girls to gather their belongings, Justice noted my spear and crossbow.
"If you're going to use a spear, you need to aim for the legs instead of the body or head," he said, sounding more like a commanding officer now than a cheerful priest. It was an odd combination, but one I found pleasant. "The beasts can't be hurt really, but attacking their legs annoys them. How good are you with that crossbow?"
I wasn't one to boast, but I was the best shot in Homerson with the exception of the White Boar himself. "Good enough to hit an elk in the eye from a hundred feet away. I can hit these beasts just as well. I've had to do it for weeks now."
Justice nodded. "Mr. White said you were a great shot, but I hadn't known God had blessed you with that much skill. Truly you were meant to be an ally in this fight, friend!" He smiled widely, showing nearly perfectly straight teeth. "If we have you and Mr. White, we might be actually able to drive these beasts back into their hellish origins!"
"Attacks don't work, though," I told the man. I wasn't sure they would ever leave unless they died. Then, a thought crossed my mind. "Have you ever cut the head off of one of the.. er, dark wolves?"
The large man shook his head. "No, my friend, as we cannot seem to actually do it." He crossed his arms, leaving his spear on the wall behind him. "One of my men named Nova thought it might work. We tried to do this during one of the darkwolves' attacks but to no avail. My men claimed their blades wouldn't cut something in the beasts' necks. Maybe their spine is harder than our blades or maybe it is Satan's magic at work, I haven't a clue. The only thing I know is that it does not work."
Well, that idea was gone. What did you do, Shayleen? I could use your guidance in all this. Without thinking, I pulled something out of my sack; a silver knife. For some reason, the thing comforted me. Maybe it was proof that Shayleen's death had not been in vain, that our daughters were safe because of her.
Justice nodded to the blade. "Is that what killed the darkwolf?"
I nodded. "Shayleen stabbed it below the chest, I believe."
"Curious… Mind if I use that the next time I go to face a darkwolf? I would like to see if it still holds power."
I was reluctant to give the blade away, but I knew how important it was to know your enemies weakness. So, I agreed to the man's request. We shortly headed out with Melody and Lillian in tow. Lillian was still quiet, but Melody consistently asked Justice questions about his past. Any normal man would have tried to give vague details, but Justice was open and honest about, well, everything.
Once he said he was what people would call a mercenary, I remembered where it was I had heard his name. A bar owner had once told me that a mercenary band had come through the bar. Usually this wasn't something special, but the man told me their leader was a man named Justice and he acted very oddly, giving money out to all the poor men in the place. I had never knew Justice then, but I had always been curious as to what kind of man gave out money so freely.
Now the man was walking through the forested area in front of me, talking with my daughter like she was some sort of royalty. I couldn't quite say I was displeased with this. I certainly wasn't a saint, so it was good she had someone to look up to.
We walked for the better part of the day before we neared Homerson. Melody had long since ceased her questioning and now complained about being tired. Lillian said nothing, of course, but her heavy panting had brought me to picking her up and carrying her the rest of the way. I wasn't tired, surprisingly, but my mind was troubled with thoughts of Lillian. I had to make her smile again.
"Before we reach Homerson, there are things you must know," Justice said as we walked down the dirt road. It had once been well-traveled, but now grass nearly hid it. "First of all, you must follow me in a single line."

Punishing the CadaverMature
Unlike you I wasn't made in a factory.
Reality broke my stain-glass vision.
I didn't need to be cared for,
A stark contrast to your list of demands.
I turn a deaf ear to your lies
And all the attempts you make to break me.
This state I was born in to
Will not fail to defend against you.
Come see me face-to-face
And look into my cracked blue gaze.
You scratched my irises
To prevent me from ever seeing the beauty of life.
Never will I
Give you the path
Back to
My wounded heart.
You're a shark waiting for the blood to spill.
Compared to you I lived in sorrow;
Fed tragedy since birth.
Smoke-filled skies under corporate disguise
Cloak the thieves you associate with.
Sit down with me at this middle ground
And I close my eyes as you deliver
All the false news I don't deserve.
All I did was care for our construction.
Like the villain you are you took the hammer
And smashed the golden foundation,
And out of spite kicked ashes
All over the grave your memories dug for me.
Inspect the man you see,
And view the blood pouring from his chest.
Yesterday I found your knife
Residing in this whole in my heart.
I will
Not relent
And give you
A way back.
You're a shark starving for wounded to kill.
Observing from above my corpse
As I fall underground.
Don't tell me we can look back and try
To rebuild our structure.
So restrained I was
When my ideals crumbled around me;
Around your maliciousness.
Observing from above my corpse,
To rebuild my foundation.
Unlike you I was formed in putridity.
Being created with the idea I wasn't perfect.
It didn't take a lesson.
Wish the same could be said for you.
Life forged my ideals to fit my growth,
You improvise against my script.
No love could fill the void.
You just wanted to give your body for sale.
Never come to my door
With our memoirs in your hands.
This conscience, now clear
Will refuse all of your futile attempts to conquer me.
You were a shark circling around the bloodbath.
All it takes is a harpoon between the eyes.
It's shameful that I ever let you in my life.
Now you don't have your own to live.
You were a shark; now just a carcass
Lying somewhere in the lake under your guilt.
The hurt is miniscule when stacked against
The suffering I received when our creation crumbled.
Observing from above your corpse
As you fall underground.
Don't tell me we can look back and try
To rebuild our structure.
So restrained I was
When my ideals crumbled around me;
Around what we stood for.
Observing from above your corpse,
To rebuild my foundation.
I can
My own life.
I will
This new life.

Missing Something
Notes: Written for pepper field and 10hugs on livejournal. Thanks to heylittlered for the beta!
Jack glanced up to find Sam staring at him with a strange expression on her face. After much consideration as to why, he offered her a blank look back and scratched at the side of his head, above his left ear. "Carter," he acknowledged.
Not moving her eyes from him, Sam chewed at her bottom lip. "Sir, are you forgetting something?" she asked pointedly. "Something…important?" She nodded downwards slightly, as if trying to tell him something, but he disregarded it and moved on to rub at his nose with both index fingers.
"We made contact with the locals; we got the goods – what else is there?" he said offhandedly. He skimmed the surrounding area with his eyes – a guest room they'd been staying in – and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, turned his gaze back on his 2IC.
"Something…less to do with the mission and more to do with your outfit," Sam said carefully.
Jack watched as she continued to gather her things and shrugged. "What's wrong with it?" he asked. "I wear this all the time."
Sam smirked and shook her head. "No, sir. You don't. I think I'd have noticed if you turned up to work like that." She pointed down again and this time he chose to take the hint and look.
Heart plummeting to take up residence in his stomach, he tore his backpack off and forced it open. Thirty seconds later, everything was laid out on the bed…except for what he was looking for.
"Uh… Carter?" he said slowly. "Do you happen to know where my pants are?"
Stuffing a pillow to her face to muffle her laughter, all Sam could do was shake her head and gesture wildly that no, she didn't know where they were.
Jack scowled.
"They were here last night. I'm sure they were. Until…well, you know," he added, smiling slightly at the memory. He sobered up almost immediately and began to scour the room, ignoring Sam – who, by then, had tears of laughter running silently down her face.
He stopped.
"They…I…we…My pants are outside, aren't they!"
A choking noise escaped Sam, and he shot her a concerned look before it hit him that she was just finding it funny that his pants were missing. He glared at her, which only doubled her amusement, and went to the door to their room.
Opening it a little, he peered outside and sure enough, they were there. Not ten feet from the door, lying on the ground, were his pants. Pushing the door open further, he chanced a look to make sure the coast was clear. It was.
He pulled the door open wider and made a wild dash for his pants, smiling to himself when they were finally in his hands. He turned back.
"Jack? Sam?" Daniel stood just outside his own door – located right beside theirs – and gaped at him, his mouth dropping open. "What's going on?"
Of course, his curiosity triggered Sam off again. She sniggered at him and waited for his response, clearly loving every minute of his humiliation.
"Oh, for cryin' out loud!" Jack muttered under his breath. He began to make his way back towards the room. Looking up at Daniel, right before he went inside, he fixed him with an icy glare. "I forgot my pants, okay!? Now, go away! And if any word of this gets out at the SGC when I get back, you'll be the first to know."
Sam pulled him into a hug when he got inside and leaned up to whisper in his ear. "I told you that you were forgetting something!"

While striking this pose backstage at the new musical Bullets Over Broadway on Saturday, Taylor Swift was basically inviting us to get in close and examine the details of her signature winged eyeliner (I once read somewhere that when she forgot to bring her liquid liner on a plane trip, she drew the line with a Sharpie instead, rather than be caught liner-free upon landing!).
And when I did zoom in really close, in typical Glamour-beauty-girl fashion, I noticed something interesting (don't we always?).
See how there's a blurry "shadow" beneath the winged eyeliner at Taylor's outer corner?
One of two things appears to be going on here:
Which of these two things do you think is the truth about Taylor Swift's eyeliner in this photo?

About MeHi, my names Anthony. I'm a full time student who recently became a proud owner of a canon T2I that likes doing photography in my spare time as a hobby, and as practice for a possible potential career in photography or film. I'm 18 years old, so of course I love to take pictures of just friends (when hanging out), at concerts, and lots of random stuff around town. A lot of my influences for my ideas of pictures I would like to take come from music I listen to, tumblr, and just practice through trial and error.
I would love to work internships or jobs for radio stations or companies that work with music artist and need a photographer to travel and work events.
Basically I'm just trying to build a portfolio up, you need pictures I need the practice lets benefit and work together.

DPMS, same thing...in fact we use full auto DPMS at work and those have countless amounts of rounds through them and they still work fine...so again, where does this rep come from?
The reputation is based on many things:
1. Non staked gas keys. For years Bushmaster didn't bother to do this, leading to a lot of gas keys coming loose while firing, rendering the rifle useless.
2. Accuracy issues. Many are known to be 3-4 minute guns.
3. Non MPI/HP tested bolts.
4. Inferior steel used for bolts. Mil-spec is 158 Carpenter, Bushy and DPMS do not use this, and there are a lot of bolts that shear teeth at relatively low round counts because of this.
5. QC issues. BM is known for shipping rifles with non-staked, finger tight castle nuts.
6. Use of commercial buffer tubes limits buttstock options.
For the same amount of money, there are much better options on the market. I'd steer clear, but what do I know, I'm just an armchair commando.

Exchange Rate Policy, Patterns of Specialization, and Economic Development
Theory and Evidence in Developing Countries
By Paulo Gala, Gilberto Libanio | Fall 2007This paper argues that competitive currencies contribute to the existence and maintenance of the manufacturing sector in the economy. It analyzes examples of successful exchange rate policies and claims that the industrial sector bears most of the burden when the currency appreciates, and that Brazil risks deindustrialization if there are no changes in the exchange rate regime.

Chapter 1
Abigail crawled out from behind the farthest shelf of the library, clutching seven heavy and very dusty history books. Their pages were barely used and smelled of must and time. They were happy to be rescued from the farthest and least frequented corners of the library. She set them down creating a cloud of dust in front of her friend Eden.
"Still trying to prove that ridiculous theory?" Eden asked. She waved the dust away from her face. "It could prevent you from graduating."
"They don't care if your doctorate thesis is right, just if it is well researched and done properly," Abigail replied. Eden had been her best friend since kindergarten. They had enjoyed youth and fought through life's problems together. But she had never understood Abigail's obsession with the so-called "Immortal." She thought it to be a crazy old crackpots attempt at fame. Abigail wasn't so sure.
"You have spent a long time working on your PhD for history, it should have at least a shred of truth to it," Eden replied.
"But history is all about uncovering the hidden," Abigail began. "So much history has been shrouded and purposely distorted. It is our job as future historians to uncover the truth behind the text."
"But an immortal man that fell from the sky almost four thousand years ago?" Eden asked. "It sounds like something from one of your brother's novels. People generally agree that aliens are not real and we have short a lifespan. "I just can't get over how all of it comes together," Abigail retorted. They had had this argument many times before. "The same man is described by dozens of different cultures all across the globe from all different time periods. It has only been in the last hundred years or so that he has fallen off of the radar so to speak."
"There is no changing your mind on this is there?" Eden asked. She looked her friend squarely in the eyes. Abigail had always been stubborn. That coupled with her incredible drive made her impossible to stop. She did have to admit that Abigail had convincing arguments. "The data seems to be all there, but how could it be possible?" she asked herself. It just defied the laws of the universe.
"I haven't spent this long at university to change that now," Abigail replied.
"Then good luck," Eden said. "If there is anyone that can prove this it is you."
"Thank you," Abigail smiled and squeezed her friend's hand. Eden had always been there for her. Even now when she could tell that Eden thought she was crazy. She had dragged Eden through more than one adventure. Eden was the one that always managed to get her safely home.
"What are you going to do if they fail you?" Eden said as the moment of understanding passed. "You know more about history than anyone else I know. You will unravel things that have plagued historians for hundreds of years. I just hope you won't throw away your promising career on this."
"But this is what I want," Abigail replied.
"I know," Eden said gently. "It just would have been safer to have done something less controversial. You could have graduated with honours. Then once you have settled into a steady job you can continue your research into the Immortal in you spare time."
Abigail wondered if her friend was right. Eden always seemed to be able catch a glimpse of the best possible future. "I will never understand how you do that," she said.
"Do what?" Eden asked innocently. A large smile broke out on her face. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a date."
"Not Jason again?" Abigail whined.
"What is wrong with Jason?" Eden fired back. "He is handsome, stable, smart, loyal and he even speaks well of you."
"There is no adventure with him," Abigail retorted.
"It doesn't always have to be an adventure," Eden replied. "I don't think that there is a man adventurous enough for you."
"There is," Abigail said. "I just have to find him."
Eden just rolled her eyes and waved good-bye. A few guys had tried to tame the wild Abigail, but all failed miserably. Their problem was that they had tried to tame her. It wasn't possible to control her, only direct her. Abigail's parents told her of the wild things Abigail had gotten into when she hadn't even been able to walk yet. She was indomitable. It only got worse as she got older. Her parents made every effort to take her to exotic locations to fulfill her desire of adventure, but they only expanded them. Her father, in exasperation, went to the library and brought back books of all sorts in hopes of finding her a hobby. She disregarded all others and got lost in the history book. She found her adventures in pouring through historical records, imagining herself being there. She developed theories on every unexplained thing and devoured the mundane.
Abigail waved good-bye to Eden as she left for her date. Eden's words held her mind for a few moments before her thirst for knowledge drew her back to her research.
The first book produced little. Abigail was always looking for the story that was out of the ordinary. They were harder to find as they were often suppressed and omitted from recent publishing. Older books tended to have better information for Abigail's purposes. The Internet was often of little use or help. It took so long to actually find relevant and real data that it was easier to hunt through libraries and collector's collections.
Abigail finally found what she was looking for. It had only taken seven books. It was the same description. A man, about six foot two, short black hair and piercing green eyes. He was thick with muscles and his skin was described as being darkened from the sun, but the story had come from Nepal. His face emanated strength and his voice commanded any and all. The story had been told to a missionary in the early 1900's. The people of the area had never seen a white person, not until a missionary had found their village nestled high in the Himalayan mountains. They thought that he was the great hero returning to them. It took them several months to be able to understand each other enough to communicate. The missionary had studied the many local languages in Kathmandu, but these people had little contact with the outside world and spoke in an obscure dialect. He spent the next several months telling them that he wasn't who they thought he was. They showed him the place where their great hero had slain a dozen dragons. Bewildered at their tales he asked them when it had happened. They told him that it had been nearly twenty generations, roughly eight hundred years the missionary guessed, since he had been seen, yet the story persisted. This hero seemed to hear their cry for help and came swiftly. His giant sword ripped through the dragon's armoured hide effortlessly. He would not take any payment or praise. He simply left once all were safe. He wore little, save what could only be described as a loincloth despite the fact that it was wintertime. The missionary left a year later, feeling called elsewhere. The tribe seemed to think that this legendary warrior was a manifestation of their gods.
Abigail put the other books back and kept the one. Once back in her dorm, she put another checkmark in her tally of how many different cultures had had an appearance of this man. "Thirty seven," she said aloud. "Thirty seven different cultures across twenty nine different time periods. How can it not be true?"
Abigail turned to her computer and began adding the new information to her thesis. The thought struck her that she should check and see if the missionary was real or not. It didn't take long but she found him. Charles Smith from Charleston, South Carolina. He spent thirty years in Nepal. Most of his tenure was outside of Katmandu, but took several journeys up into the mountains. There was a link to another site that told of his stranger tales from the mountains.
Abigail stared at the information on the screen. She was so entranced that she didn't even hear the party starting across the hall. Charles Smith had seventeen different stories from seventeen different villages in varying areas of Nepal all reporting the same man. His deeds ranged anywhere from slaying dragons to healing sick children to stopping an avalanche. The dates, once she did the math ranged from about 1200 to 1400 AD. Whoever the author of the website was, they seemed to have even more information than she did. She clicked on another link that took her to the homepage for the "Immortal."
"The Immortal," filled up most of the screen. Abigail scrolled downwards and an artist's depiction of the man appeared. He was slim but bristled with muscles. His black hair was a little longer than she expected, but eyes were what she expected them to be. They shone with power. Their piercing gaze looked as if they could topple buildings. She was amazed that someone could draw that well. In one hand he held a great sword, in the other he held a severed bear's head. He wore nothing but a rough animal skin loincloth. She was surprised that there were no scars on him. She figured that after all the things he had done there must be some kind of scarring, but she had never read of any.
Abigail continued to scroll down. She absorbed all she could. The website had a few of the same stories that she did and many others that she didn't. Some of the stories were vague and unreferenced, so she put those to the side for the time being. The website was arranged in no particular order, but she began to see a pattern. There was evidence that suggested the Immortal to be in a particular area for about three hundred years. She began to make notes of the timeline.
The Immortal first appeared in historical writings in ancient Egypt and northern Africa around 2000BC. After fading from Egypt, he reappeared in the Middle East. A few hundred years later he appeared in India and then China and then he headed to the Islands of South East Asia and the Oceanic. Then the narrative changed. From there he was viewed more as a villain than a hero. In less than a hundred years he was shunned and sent away. He vanished from history for nearly two hundred years before reappearing in roughly 820 BC, as the legendary Hercules in Greece. It was his home for the next eight hundred years according to the text. Hercules' story had taken him to Mount Olympus to live with the gods, but similar descriptions reappeared shortly thereafter. The legend of Hercules had always been Abigail's greatest proof. The story of Hercules being Zeus' son made a perfect cover for the Immortal. It wasn't difficult for him to create his own legend with great deeds. The people of Greece at that time were fervent in their regard for their gods. Deception would be simple. A poor woman would have gladly accepted the fame and safety that the Immortal could have afforded her. He often appeared in minor or local stories from the lesser-known areas of Greece. But never again was he seen as someone so great as Hercules.
Upon leaving the Greeks, around the time of Christ, the Immortal faded in and out of the North and South American tales. Many were vague and even fewer were actually written down at the time, but the description stayed the same and the deeds were no less great. He was difficult to track for several years until he seemingly reappeared as part of Attila the Hun's hoard. It was the first time that he had been directly influencing a massive army. He was described as Attila's closest advisor and fierce warrior who gave no quarter. The Hun's empire was short lived and the Immortal disappeared for the main narrative again. Stories sprang up from across Europe. They ranged from the Nordic countries down to Spain and across to Russia.
The website stated that the Immortal disappeared from history until around 1200AD when he reappeared in Nepal. Abigail however had much of the missing time figured out. In roughly 800AD King Arthur and his magician Merlin started to come on to the scene. Merlin was always described as an old man, but there were a few times that Merlin was said to have appeared in his true form, a thickly muscled man with short black hair and green eyes. The old man was his disguise. It was from Merlin that King Arthur derived much of his power. Especially since Arthur was a commoner. The Sword in the Stone was said to be a test of one's heart, only Arthur's was pure enough to wield it. Merlin was said to have been the one that created the Sword in the Stone. This was the most dramatic mention of the Immortal's magical powers that weren't of a healing nature. Most of his deeds were done by strength of arms, not by magic, or at least that is what was recorded.
After the reign of King Arthur and his death, Merlin disappeared. The Immortal however did not leave England until 1000AD. From there he went to the crusades. There were stories from both sides of the conflict about a man of the same description. His participation in the conflict was more of one trying to stop the fighting than encourage it. The final entry Abigail had found in her own research showed the Immortal walking slowly away from the truce signed by Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. The monk that saw him that day recorded his final words, "there is no hope for either side in this conflict." The monk wrote much more on the subsequent crusades. He mentioned those words and the haunting green eyes of the Immortal many times over.
Ten years later the Immortal was spotted around Eastern Asia and then Africa. South America followed up and then the website finished up. It reported that there had been no official sightings since 1809 in Bolivia. Some stories existed from un-cited sources in the USA. The author surmised the Immortal had grown weary of the world and stopped trying to save it. A co-author suggested that he had completed his task and was finally allowed to die. Another suggested that the incident at Roswell was his ship coming to return him home. The final one said that he simply blended into society and left his godly powers behind.
Abigail stretched out as she realized how long she had been sitting there. A foul smell was emendating form the hallway. She went to investigate. She opened the door to the hallway and nearly threw up, dozens of people were passed out in their own vomit. She looked at her watched and realized that it was nearly five in the morning. It had been a little after ten o'clock when she had entered her room. She wished that she had rented the place with Eden off campus. The new students seemed to get more disgusting every year. Abigail closed the door and sprayed her own room with air freshener. She crawled into bed to a grab a few hours of sleep before the last class of her school career.

Not an offensive weapon insight, but you are provided with a stunning flat sandy beach that stretches for miles and is dominated by a large rock outcrop that provides some fantastic housing for the local seabird population.

Get the Clarets newsletter
17:00 28th December 2009
Burnley's brave bid to improve their frustrating away record came to nothing as two late goals ended the Clarets' resistance and saw Everton climb above them in a congested scrap to stay clear of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.
Owen Coyle's men turned in a fighting performance in their bid to stop the rot away from Turf Moor.
And they could have won it had David Nugent's second half chance gone in rather than hit a post on his return to Merseyside.
But after Stephen Jordan was sent off for two bookable offences with just under half an hour to go - as Burnley's yellow card count harshly rose towards five - the Clarets were forced to defend.
They did so stoically but their back line was finally breached in the 83rd-minute when substitute James Vaughan forced the ball home at the far post with Yakubu getting away with standing in an off-side position.

And after the Clarets had thrown men forward and done their best to force a late leveller they were caught out in stoppage time when Stephen Pienaar drove home Everton's second.
With Coyle naming the same side and formation that had come back to earn a point against Bolton 48 hours earlier it was clear that Burnley were prepared to be positive to try and end a memorable year with a first away success in the Barclays Premier League.
Fighting fire with fire was always likely to give the home side opportunities, though, and the Clarets had to weather something of an early storm.
Inside the first minute Yakubu got away and pulled the ball back for Leon Osman who should have done better.
And the Clarets then held their collective breath when a shot from Yakubu hit Michael Duff on the arm only for the defender to get the benefit of the doubt from referee Howard Webb.
However, Everton, without a home win since September, failed to make the most of a number of promising positions and the Clarets countered with Steven Fletcher forcing Tim Howard into a decent save after showing typically precise control to take down a Jordan pass and work the opening.
When Burnley attacked in numbers and moved the ball around swiftly they carried a threat and another patient move ended with Wade Elliott, who had scored the winner when the teams met in August, seeing a low shot turned past the post by Howard.
From the resulting corner, Duff headed down and Andre Bikey was unlucky to see his fiercely struck volley hit Tim Cahill on the six-yard line.
But, despite a half-chance for Nugent from Lucas Neill's weak back header, much of the pressure continued to come from Everton and with 23 minutes gone they hit the post. Again Yakubu got free but from Leighton Baines' ball forward he could not quite steer his side-footed volley on target.
And ten minutes later the Toffees went close again when Diniyar Bilyaletdinov got past Jordan but could not beat Brian Jensen, who got down quickly to save well to his right-hand side.
But the Clarets had gained a foothold in the game and they started the second half in encouraging style, closing down more quickly and making the home side increasingly edgy.
Chris Eagles launched a couple of his trademark runs and from one covered some 75 yards before leaving the ball for Kevin McDonald whose curling shot drifted wide.
And with 57 minutes gone only the width of the post prevented the Clarets from going ahead.
Nugent hits the post
Eagles won and delivered another corner which was half cleared only as far as Elliott. He poked the ball forward to Nugent and on the turn the striker, an Everton fan as a boy, just failed to score his dream goal in front of 25 members of his family as his effort bounced out off the far post.
That proved to be Nugent's final contribution as he was sacrificed when Burnley were reduced to ten men with 63 minutes gone.
Jordan, who was booked in the first half for a foul on Bilyaletdinov, needlessly pulled back Pienaar to become the first player in 100 league games between the two clubs to be dismissed, although for the full-back it was his second red card on this ground after a previous dismissal playing for Manchester City.
Coyle sent on Christian Kalvenes to get his back four up to strength but from one of the Norwegian's first touches his attempted clearance cannoned up into the air off Marouane Fellaini and allowed Yakubu the chance to direct a looping header towards the top corner before Jensen made a fine save at full stretch to palm the ball away.
And that prompted a magnificent rearguard action from the Clarets with Duff a tower of strength at the back as Coyle's men looked to hold on and claim a notable point.
They looked set to do it but with just seven minutes to go Burnley's resistance was ended. A low cross from Fellaini reached Vaughan at the far post via an unfortunate deflection off Kalvenes and the substitute scrambled the ball home past Yakubu, who appeared to be in an off-side position on the goalline.
Eagles and McDonald hit back with shots in the dying moments which forced Howard to save but Burnley could not force a leveller and in stoppage time Pienaar ran onto Yakubu's pass to bury a shot and again leave the Clarets heading home empty-handed.
