Schumacher still fighting, says Todt
By Alan Baldwin
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton's third Formula One world championship also serves as a reminder of how remarkable Michael Schumacher's achievements were, his former Ferrari boss Jean Todt said on Saturday.
The German is still receiving intensive treatment at home in Switzerland for severe head injuries suffered in a skiing accident in France in December 2013.
"It was interesting last week after Lewis was world champion for the third time, you saw the figures," Todt told reporters at the Mexican Grand Prix, which follows the U.S. race in Austin where Hamilton sealed the title.
"And I was very proud of what Michael did and sometimes you tend to forget what he did.
"Michael is a close friend, his family is very close to me and I am very close to them as well. I see Michael very often and Michael is still fighting. And we must keep him fighting, with the family."
Sunday's race will be the first Mexican Grand Prix since 1992 -- which was also the first time Schumacher appeared on a Formula One podium.
The German, who finished third behind British race winner Nigel Mansell and Italian Riccardo Patrese, was in his first full season for Benetton.
Three years later he was already a double champion and then switched to Ferrari -- with Todt as principal -- where he won five successive titles from 2000 to 2004 in a golden era for the Italian team. Continued...

Dancing and drinksMature
The dancing lasted for two songs before Katie realised she hadn't looked away from Will's eyes at all.
"You want a drink?" All Katie could do was nod as she followed Will through the crowds of dancing people to the drinks table. He poured her a glass of some alcoholic stuff, and instead of refusing like she normally would, she downed the stuff.
"So, how do you know Robbie?" She asked.
"Internet. You?" He was moving closer in to her. She could smell his cologne. She breathed deeply to try and steady herself.
"School. We don't really get along though."
"Why's that?" She looked up at him, judging whether he would mind her insulting his friend. She decided against it.
"I don't know. We just don't. He's a bit big headed."
"Yeah, he can be." She grinned. Thank god he understood. He took her hand.
"Why don't we go and dance again?"
"Yeah ok."
They danced for another two songs and then, feeling she should change the scenery a bit, Katie moved in to the games room, Will following intently.
"So,America? That is so cool. I've always wanted to visit!" " Katie said. She realised she was flirting, and was surprised at herself. He smiled and her heart fluttered. She realised she was falling for this guy, and it wasn't something she was really used to.
"Well you can come and visit me if you want."
"I'd really like that." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. Taking a deep breath she looked at his face for a reaction. And then he leaned down and kissed her full on the mouth. Her arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer, while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Robbie, walking past, grinned at the two of them.

For two decades the web has been a great place to post and find a wealth of information. But in recent years it's also been a dangerous place where people can be fed false information.
I personally know someone affected by an online scam involving 'Acai Burn' weight loss tablets. An introductory offer turned into a recurring monthly payment forcing them to close their bank account.
Another example that I personally felt to be misleading was Converse's 'design your own' online messages. When you type 'Converse' into Google the .com site appears at the top even though my location is set to UK. The first page says design your own so I spent two hours designing trainers that, after falling in love with, consequently found that they weren't available in the UK. This was particularly strange as UK site ehow has an article on how 'easy' the process is!
Our well known and much loved brands are often guilty, accidently or not, of crossing the line with the truth. For example, Coca-Cola's latest digital campaign for Dr Pepper involved users allowing the company to take over their Facebook statuses for the chance to win $1,000. Disaster struck when the company posted "I watched two girls one cup and felt hungry afterwards" on a 14 year old girl's profile page. The campaign had to be dropped, public apologies made and Coca-Cola also dropped the agency that created it.
This new regulation from the ASA will mean that companies will have to adhere to the non-broadcast advertising rules as set out in the CAP Code by ensuring that marketing messages on their websites are legal, decent, honest and truthful.
The first lot of B2B advertising from the ASA is aimed giving companies a chance to get their online (and other non-broadcast such as: cinema, press and poster) communications in order as well as giving them all the necessary advice on how to do so, over a month in advance of the commencement of the new regulation.

Since October 2008 Spotify has been shaking up the music industry with its offering of free music streaming. This was ideal for the user but after a reported loss of £16.66 million in 2009 it was clear that changes needed to be made to create a viable business.
If you are a regular free Spotify user you'll already know that changes are afoot. Now a new subscriber can only listen to free music for 6 months and after this period they will be limited to 10 hours of free music per month and be able to hear their favourite tracks only 5 times. Spotify say that these restrictions will only effect 'heavy' free users and most people using Spotify for the right reasons (ie. to find new music which they then download for themselves) will not be effected by the changes.
These changes are yet another step towards pushing users to subscribe and now Spotify users will also be offered full syncing of all MP3 files including songs they have purchased elsewhere to be played via a range of devices including iPods. This move is the most direct body punch to the iTunes heavyweight champion of the music world that we've seen to date.
What makes Spotify different is the introduction of bulk package buys; you choose individual tracks in set packages from 10 tracks at £7.99 up to 100 tracks for £50, creating your own personalised albums. This could see some of the market share go toward Spotify although, as a monthly subscriber, buying songs seems bizarre when you have access to constant streaming 24/7 already so it will be interesting to see if this feature takes off and how it will impact on their user base.
Engine Creative has created and implemented Spotify campaigns and seen first hand the positive impact which they can have in generating brand awareness and traffic. The move away from relying so much on advertising generated revenue for Spotify will definitely make a difference for this media newbie:
The changes which Spotify have made and will continue to make will undoubtably be met head on by iTunes who won't let go of their market share without a good, well orchestrated fight. We also mustn't forget about Google who have just launched their Music Beta service in the US. It's very early days but they are definitely after a piece of the action.
However the story ends, the evolving music services on offer should definitely be a positive thing for consumers and for brands and we'll be there at ringside to keep up with the action.

Have you ever wondered the sort of things that doctors, nurses, and pretty much anyone in the medical profession, have laid their unfortunate eyes on?
I have. Recently actually. On Friday morning I woke with an incredible pain in my left ear lobe. By Monday that same earlobe was about three times its normal size and I had absolutely no idea why.
I booked an appointment at my local doctors and sat in the waiting room surrounded by people coughing their infectious coughs perpetually.
By the time I got called into see my doctor and pushed open her door, she took one look at my throbbing ear lobe and with open mouth yelled: 'Oh my god, what happened to your ear?!'.
Thanks doc, as if getting the train to work everyday with people silently staring at me like The Elephant Man wasn't bad enough.
Anyhow, it got me thinking – here's this doctor, who spends her days probably doing some pretty vile things amongst other stuff. Handing out prostate exams like an ice cream man hands out 99's. Rummaging through testes for lumps and bumps. Even at the best of times you're dealing with someone who's got an intense batch of flu and gazing into their gullet as they exhale.
But what are the worst things they've ever, and I mean, ever, laid eyes upon.
Fortunately I found an old Reddit thread which gave me everything I needed – while also making me feel better about my pus filled throbbing ear lobe.
Here's some of our favourites.
Number One – The Burnt Blowjob:
Woman giving her husband a blowjob. Except that she was the patient in the burn unit, admitted after a flash fire from pouring lighter fluid on her barbecue. All the hair on her face was singed off, her face was super swollen and red, and we had caked on antibiotic ointment all over her face to treat her burns. Talk about sloppy head.
Numero Two – The Violent Blowjob
Worked Labor and Delivery one night. This younger (about 16-17) girl was in labor and had pregnancy induced hypertension. She was in the room with her boyfriend when we heard him scream. We ran in there to find her giving him a blow job, which isn't all that unusual in hospitals. But see here's the thing, if blood pressure gets high enough, people will have seizures. And when people have seizures, they tend to bite down very hard. We had to basically pry this girls mouth away from his penis.
Number Three – The Horny Old People
You would be very surprised at how much old person fucking is going on. Most of the time it's when a man is in the hospital and his wife comes to visit him.
They just climb right into those beds and get freaky. God bless the horny geriatric bastards.
Number Four – The Easter Egg Hunt (my personal favourite… if favourite is the right word?)
I was about to perform a colonoscopy and the patient was shoving M&Ms in his rectum, said he wanted to give me an Easter egg hunt.
Edit: they were the larger peanut M&Ms, at least a small bags worth. The nurses wouldn't eat them.
Edit: Nurses had a peanut allergy.
Number Five – The Wank Prank
Not a doctor or nurse but I am a police officer, we were going to calls at a hospital for a dispute, waking through the halls of the hospital I heard someone yell "officer help help" I walked into the room that the yelling came from and there was a little bald fat man masturbating violently and just looking deeply into my eyes snickering. He tricked me.
Number Six – Food Fight
First internship in a geriatric ward. Me and a fellow student walk into a patient's room, who is screaming like crazy. He was known for having serious dementia. We open the door and my student-colleague gets a warm handfull of shit thrown right in his face.
Needless to say I was quite surprised, but happy I missed the brown rocket.
Number Seven – Catheter Wank
Walked in on a patient's wife giving him a hand job while he had a catheter in. he looks at me and says 'son you never waste a hard on'.
Number Eight – The Exhibitionist
Had a guy in his late teens/early 20's constantly masturbating. Everyone walked in on it. It was on a floor where the patients were separated by curtains too. Looking back, I think he was an exhibitionist and he was making us all subjects to his masturbatory fodder, so that was fun.
And finally, Number Nine – The Jovial Kidnapper
At a retirement home for elderly folks with severe dementia. There's this one guy that is always silent, but cheery. Always smiling, waves when you acknowledge him. One day, out of the blue, he stops me in the hall and raises his finger toward a room with the sternest scowl I have ever seen. He says, in the deepest most-movie-trailer-narrator voice I have ever heard in person, "THIS.. This is the room." Upon entering "the room" I found that he was directing all of the wandering residents into this room and had like 4 people crammed into this little studio unit.
So there you have it folks. If you think you've had a bad day, just be glad you're not one of these guys.

By the numbers: Indiana Gov. Mike Pence
Posted July 20, 2016
Mike Pence is ready for his close-up. Last week, Donald Trump picked the Indiana governor for the number-two spot on the Republican presidential ticket, meaning Pence is fast becoming a household name. His national profile will only increase with Wednesday evening's prime-time address to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
An Indiana native, Pence represented his home state in the U.S. House of Representatives for six terms. In 2012, Pence left Capitol Hill for Indianapolis, when his fellow Hoosiers voted him in as the state's 50th governor. It might end up being his only term as the state's top dog: Pence ended his 2016 re-election campaign in order to run for VP, meaning he is putting all of his chips on the success of the Trump-Pence ticket.
What else do you need to know about the potential next vice president of the United States? Graphiq politics site InsideGov has you covered with a Mike Pence cheat sheet, highlighting key facts and figures that have defined his career.
Host with the most
Before entering public service, Pence hosted a weekday radio program as well as a morning television show. "The Mike Pence Show" was syndicated on 18 radio stations in Indiana, and ran from 1994 to 2000. (At the time, Pence called himself "Rush Limbaugh on decaf." He's often described himself as conservative but "not angry about it.")
In 1995, Pence added TV host to his résumé. His politics show ran on Sunday mornings in the Indianapolis area.
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
In 2016, the gay rights movement has been ignited by a spat of so-called bathroom bills that aim to codify which restroom transgender people can use. In 2015, Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act had a similar effect.
The bill argued the government "may not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion." Supporters said it protected businesses and individuals from doing things against their religion; opponents said it allowed discrimination of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Pence signed the bill in March 2016, and the fallout was almost immediate. Tech companies and businesses criticized the measure, and Angie's List said it wouldn't go through with a $40 million expansion of its headquarters in the state.
Although Pence defended the law, a few days later, he signed another bill clarifying that the original legislation did not permit discrimination. When he signed the second bill, Pence stated: "Over the past week this law has become a subject of great misunderstanding and controversy across our state and nation. … Last weekend I called upon the Indiana General Assembly to clarify that this new judicial standard would not create a license to discriminate or to deny services to any individual as its critics have alleged. I am grateful for the efforts of legislators, business and other community leaders who came together to forge this clarifying language in the law."
The move quieted the controversy in Indiana, but look for this issue to pop up again during the general election.
Most conservative governor
According to data from OnTheIssues, Pence clocks in as the most conservative governor in the United States. He shares the spot with Gov. Butch Otter, a Republican out of Idaho.

I am a Coldplay virgin. Not in the sense that I don't know their music, but I have never been to a live show of theirs. I have been very curious about their live shows since seeing the videos for "Fix You" and "Lost." To say that lead singer, Chris Martin, has some energy is an understatement. When the two shows playing at the American Airlines Center (AAC) in Dallas, Texas were first announced, I thought it would be a good time to go and see Coldplay put on a show. I have not seen a large audience arena concert in a long time. I believe the last one I saw was No Doubt and Paramore at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, and that place is much smaller than the AAC.
I held off on getting tickets to the June 22, 2012 Coldplay Mylo Xyloto tour until a couple weeks beforehand. I was only interested in getting the cheap seats. Prompted by Ticketmaster, I was warned that the tickets were behind the stage and may have an obstructed view. Doing some research, I found out that the stage setup did not have a back to it, so seeing the band should not be a problem. I ended up going with a friend and we got tickets behind the stage, but slightly to the right side of the stage. At about $45 a ticket, they were not bad seats. We just got to see the back of them, instead of the front. I think we got better tickets (and cheaper ones) than those who sat at the top of the arena and got to see the front of the band.
Upon entering the AAC, you are asked to pick up a wristband. You are told that these will be used as part of the show. Who knew then what an amazing vision these wristbands would create?
As the instruments and stage were in their final preparations for Coldplay to begin, a song came on. It was none other than "99 Problems" by Jay-Z. Mind you, Coldplay I like to think of as an all ages band, something that those who are higher up in digits and those still in elementary school could probably enjoy. The Jay-Z song was not an edited version, so sorry kids and grandma! The large screens in the AAC, four up high and one above the stage, told us to put our wristbands on if we had not already done so.
The stage was comprised of a runway leading out from the main stage area and ending in a large "X." Behind the stage was a semi-circle ramp. On both sides of the stage was a square platform. The theme for tour is obviously graffiti. It is everywhere, on the instruments, on the stage, and the colors are bright and fluorescent like you are having an 80s flashback.
The arena went black and some Star Wars theme music started to play. Once the band was on the stage and ready to play the full effect of those wristbands became amazingly apparent as they all lit up and blinked in unison. The opening songs were, appropriately, "Mylo Xyloto" and "Hurts Like Heaven." Not having read about the current tour or what theatrics Coldplay was employing, I did not know that those wristbands were only the start.
The second song was "My Place," and during the chorus, Chris Martin ran out onto the runway and while doing so, huge cannons of confetti shot out over the crowd in the lower section. The confetti also covered the end section of the runway. The confetti cannons went off at least twice during the song.
During another song, large, fluorescent, paint splattered balls were dropped from the ceiling onto the crowd to bounce about, reminiscent of those outdoor concert and the travelling beach balls above the crowd. There was another song where some inflatable objects were placed at the entrances of some of the 200 and 300 sections of the arena. I did not really get why these were used, since they seemed small for such a large arena. They did not register much of an effect on me, and I was wondering if some of the audience even noticed they were there.
The band performed a couple of songs on the large "X" at the end of the runway. This was the only drawback to the behind the stage seats. A large stack of hanging speakers blocked half of the view of their performance. One of the songs sung out there was "Princess of China." Rihanna did not make a surprise appearance, but Rihanna singing her part of the song was on the screens. Chris Martin messed up part of another song out on the runway and was quick to stop and say "I f***ed up. I f***ed up." with a smile and start over.
While they do sell seats behind the stage, those fans back there are not neglected. The band members used the ramp at the back of the stage to give us a little piece of their "front-facing" performance. Chris Martin used the ramp several times and the side platforms. Those in the very back of the arena got a little treat. At the beginning of the encore, Coldplay played two songs in the back corner of the arena.
The one song I was desperate to see live was "Fix You" and it was the second to last song played. While I wanted the fireworks and the single, floating light bulb that is in the video, Chris Martin made up for this with his energy at the point in the song where it picks up in pace.
If you read any part of my narrative on last night, it should be that Coldplay has earned every single fan they have based on what an amazing performance they gave the crowd in Dallas. The energy of the band, and especially Chris Martin, was astounding. Even if there were no wristbands, confetti, or balls to bounce around, it still would have been a top notch concert. Chris Martin said early on in the evening that the band was going to have an amazing time, even if we did not. Energy does transmit to an audience, and that was widely apparent on Friday night in Dallas.
So go get some of those cheap seats and be prepared to be blown away by a little band called Coldplay.

JPMorgan Still Isn't Sure What It Bought in 2008
You may have heard that JPMorgan Chase & Co. is paying a lot of people billions of dollars to settle those people's lawsuits over bad mortgages that Washington Mutual sold them back in the day. Some people think that this is unfair to JPMorgan, since it wasn't selling the bad mortgages,* WaMu was. Why should JPMorgan pay for the sins of WaMu?
Well, because it bought WaMu, is the reasonable answer. When you buy a company you assume its liabilities. "There are always uncertainties in deals," notorious bank-hater Jamie Dimon once said. "Our eyes are not closed on this one." This one being WaMu.**
But here is a bonkers story about how, in certain rooms, JPMorgan is saying something else: That it assumed only certain specific liabilities of Washington Mutual, and only for the dollar amounts that WaMu had on its books. Your $1,385.41 checking account? Fine, they'll take it. Your large but uncertain lawsuit over fraudulent mortgage bonds? Nope, that's the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's problem: JPMorgan bought WaMu out from an FDIC receivership, and it didn't explicitly agree to take over those liabilities, so they stay with the FDIC. And if someone sues over those mortgages -- and someone has! -- and if JPMorgan settles those lawsuits -- and it plans to! -- then it's going to go sue the FDIC for its money back.
This theory is blazingly nuts, but here we are. I mean, I'm not your lawyer, nor am I JPMorgan's lawyer, and I guess its actual lawyers are pretty good. Still, my money is on nuts.
For more on why, turn to the place where boring things go.*** Up here, just imagine that JPMorgan was right: It got all the upside on WaMu's business, but no downside -- the FDIC indemnified it for every bad thing that might have been hidden in WaMu; JPMorgan was only on the hook for deposits and so forth at their stated amounts. There were no uncertainties in the deal. Does that sound like something that could possibly have happened? Even in 2008, when regulators loved JPMorgan?
If that were right, it would make the WaMu deal a fairly astounding gift to JPMorgan. But it's not right, surely. You can tell because, among many other things, JPMorgan wrote down WaMu's assets and took litigation reserves and explained to shareholders that there would be liabilities and uncertainties associated with WaMu. But that makes this story even weirder. The story is that JPMorgan's big settlement with the Justice Department is being held up over this point: JPMorgan wants to retain the right to seek reimbursement from the FDIC for the amounts it has to pay on WaMu loans, while the Justice Department wants it to give up that dream.**** JPMorgan is trying to wrap up all the government's lawsuits against it, yes, but not at the cost of wrapping up its (somewhat implausible) lawsuits against the government. It wants to keep those open. Those are more fun.
What is going on here? I don't know. Like I said, I found this story bonkers, because I read it and was like, "Wait, JPMorgan is really going to sue one part of the government to try to make it repay the settlement it paid to the other part of the government? That seems like a good idea? To whom?" It seems like a good instance of lawyers litigating for the fun of it, to their client's detriment. Surely a sensible business strategy would involve settling everything and moving on, not enraging everyone by settling and then suing to get the settlement money back.
But then I remembered how boring this JPMorgan settlement stuff is. Very boring, is how boring. Who can keep track of its intricacies? When JPMorgan sues the FDIC, who will remember to be enraged? It's just one more in an endless web of JPMorgan mortgage lawsuits. If JPMorgan calculates that its litigation stamina can outlast public and regulatory interest in being outraged at JPMorgan, then it might as well try to get its money back.
* I mean, separately, JPMorgan was probably selling other bad mortgages, things were a mess. But here we're only talking about the WaMu mortgages. Not even the Bear Stearns ones. There were a bunch of those too.
** I was led to that quote from this Peter Eavis post on the subject, which I in turn found through this Felix Salmon post ; both recommended.
*** JPMorgan bought WaMu from the FDIC pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement , section 2.1 of which provided that JPMorgan "expressly assumes at Book Value ... all of the liabilities of the Failed Bank which are reflected on the Books and Records" of WaMu as of the time the FDIC seized it in September 2008, including deposits and so forth (but explicitly excluding unsecured debt). From this JPMorgan spins a theory that goes like so :
There is no bona fide dispute that the FDIC retained all liabilities of the failed bank except those that had a "Book Value" as of September 25, 2008, when WMB was closed. Book Value is defined in the P&A Agreement as "the dollar amount [of an assumed liability] stated on the Accounting Records of the Failed Bank," and "Accounting Records" are specifically defined as limited to "the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers and supporting schedules which support the general ledger balances."
Okay then! The
FDIC says
that JPMorgan's "position is not consistent with the contractual language, common sense, or JPMC's own public filings." I'll buy that. The "reflected on the Books and Records" language is designed to exclude liability for secret dealings by a failed bank, not legitimate claims on contracts that JPMorgan actually assumed.
If you believe JPMorgan's theory, then JPMorgan was on the hook only for the actual debts that were expressly stated on WaMu's books, at their stated amounts, which sort of defeats the purpose of having JPMorgan take over the failed bank: It would give JPMorgan all of the upside of WaMu, while sticking the FDIC with all of the downside. And that would make it odd that JPMorgan then
wrote down WaMu's assets by something like $36 billion
in part to reflect future liabilities. And that JPMorgan said in public filings that it would be on the hook for "repurchase and/or indemnity obligations arising in connection with the sale and securitization of loans" by WaMu. (That's page S-7 of
this prospectus
, which the FDIC cites.)
See also
this MoneyBeat post by Francesco Guerrera
on the FDIC dispute. Guerrera is more evenhanded than I am and concludes that "it is apparent that there is no clear-cut answer on whether J.P. Morgan inherited these mortgage liabilities." To which I say: nuts!
**** The settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency
announced last week
implicitly lets JPMorgan come after the FDIC receivership for WaMu, though not the FDIC "in its corporate capacity," for WaMu-related amounts. I mean, I'm with the Justice Department in that I don't think JPMorgan should do that, but I sympathize with the FHFA letting them. "Well, they're not going to
," would be a reasonable thought.

Feist Dental Philosophies
A message from Dr. Jon
Graduating from Dental School in 1985, I have personally witnessed the evolution in products and technology in my career. So much has changed in such a short time! I have been fortunate to continue my education each and every year as my patient family grows. There is so much more to dentistry than the degree you receive in dental school. Each course I attend provides me with additional knowledge to provide my patient family with optimal dentistry.
I have surrounded myself with an exceptional team of caring individuals where our patients become our friends. The team joins me in our continued goal of advanced training and they too have successfully completed numerous courses. We approach each patient with the confidence and certainty that we are providing them with the best that dentistry has to offer.
There are about 140,000 dentists in the United States, but fewer than several hundred have the training and confidence to perform full mouth neuromuscular reconstruction. I can leave my office at the end of each day knowing that I have proven and predictable techniques to treat every member of my patient family with only the best. How gratifying to know that we not only provide aesthetically pleasing outcomes, but life changing results as well.

The Wonderful Wizard Of US
So imagine yourself as Dorthy Gale, a young impressionable woman, who is from the country and therefore has no real education towards anything political.
You are aware of politics but you're not really sure how they work or why they are in place. You are swept off to the mysterious and wondrous land of US. You are scared but also interested by this new land.
The small inhabitants known as the voters, regale you with tales of the great and powerful US, a man who's intelligence and strength knows no bounds. But you are attacked instantly by the wicked Republican of the east, she tries to brainwash you with ideas of lower taxes and a greater need for voter involvement.
Luckily the good Senator of the South saves you by crushing the Republican evil and reminds you of how much more effective it is to let the great and powerful US deal with big decisions that are too hard for the small brained voters to deal with. She still feels that you need to be better educated in the manner of Democracy so she sends you on a quest to see the great and powerful US. On your journey you make many friends, the strong and war-driven Tin Cheney, the intelligent but fearful Cowardly Harper and the bendable and easy to walk on Brainless Obama.
You all join hands and skip your way down the paved interstate to the city of Washington. It's a beautiful place with large towers spewing fountains of black liquid. The air is hard to breathe but it also blocks out the sun enough that you don't need to squint your eyes anymore.
At the gates you see two armed guards, you tell them you are here to see the great and powerful US. They look you over quickly and step to one side. As you look back you see a group of voters approach, they are brown in the colour of skin and have large sheets wound up on their heads. Instantly the guards bark something at them and then advance on the group. The men and women are shot down where they stand. You smile because you know that the guards are never wrong about who is dangerous to the land of US. They have protected you from that danger.
You move on into the large city and eventually come to a large stone building. The others begin to enter so you follow, you pass more guards as you go and smile at them.
Upon entering the great building you find yourself in a large room with a red carpet leading to a marble platform.
Suddenly a giant green head appears floating above the platform. 'I am the great and powerful US, but you may call me Bush,' the great floating head says with a touch of slang in his voice.
You fall to your knees and plead, 'Oh wise and powerful Bush, please educate me in the ways of democracy and please use my friends to your advantage to teach me and my fellow voters. The green head smiles and says 'Have you heard of a place called Iraq?'.

Peter Manuel: The End of Evil? (2008)
Release: September 18, 2008
zmovie Peter Manuel: The End of Evil? (2008)
In July 1958, Peter Manuel was hanged in Barlinnie Prison, convicted of seven murders. He remains one of the most infamous serial killers in British history and his story reads like the script from an American gangster movie . Now, STV tells the appalling story of his life and crimes, in a compelling hour-long drama documentary. Manuel murdered middle-aged men and women, teenage girls - and an eleven-year-old boy - shooting them or battering them to death. He did not discriminate, there was no apparent motive and he showed not the slightest signs of remorse. A habitual offender from his early days, the killing spree began in 1956 and went on for two years before he was captured. Glasgow, Lanarkshire and surrounding areas lived in fear while Peter Manuel was at large and his trial made international news. He sacked his counsel and famously defended himself, putting up a robust, theatrical performance in court, albeit doomed to failure when he was sentenced to hang - one of the last criminals to face the death penalty in Glasgow. Peter Manuel has since become a figure of ghoulish notoriety in Scottish criminal history. Over fifty years on from his hanging, this fascinating STV programme looks back at Manuel\'s reign of terror and asks what may have driven him to kill. Is there anything to be learned from Manuel\'s chilling story?

The ADS Staff Were Incredible In Managing A Very Scary Situation
I traveled to Tanzania nine years ago with Africa Dream Safaris and was deeply moved by this unique experience. Seeing so many beautiful animals touched my soul and the gentle people of Tanzania captured my heart. At the time, I was very impressed with the ADS team both at home and in Africa. Their enthusiasm about Tanzania was palpable and their knowledge of the Serengeti was evident in every detail of my trip. After ten wonderful days exploring Tanzania, I knew, …

African Dream Safaris Made Our Dream Come True!

We recently took our son and daughter-in-law to Tanzania on a safari with ADS. It turned out to be the trip of a life time! We saw so many animals. Of the 2 million wildebeest in Tanzania I think we saw 1.5 million of them. We saw more lions than we could keep track of. We were even fortunate enough to see the very rare African wild dogs and of course we saw many elephants, giraffe, zebras, warthogs, antelope, hippos, monkeys, baboons, cheetahs …

Training with the Wolf GirlMature
The group left the villa and Aria shouted. "Alright, you can come out now."
Mikiko dropped down into view and smiled. "Very perceptive. You're also more skilled than I thought."
"So you watched that?"
"Yes," Mikiko smirked, "And nice use of the roundhouse kick, by the way."
"Okay, let me stop you two right there," Zoraan interrupted. "How do you two know each other?"
"Remember when I jumped off the path? I found Mikiko here in a net. So, I helped her out." Aria answered.
"And I thank you for that... but now to the business at hand." Mikiko continued. "You need to train, and I'm the ideal sparring partner."
"I'm still not convinced," Zoraan interrupted again. "What exactly are you capable of?"
Mikiko glared a him, walked over to a nearby tree, looked up and down the tree a bit, then punched it so hard that the tree exploded in a shower of splinters. Aria blinked, Zoraan's jaw dropped and Scathe chuckled.
"Well, I'm convinced," Scathe responded. "How about you?"
"I'll train you... on one condition: let me join in on this rebellion of yours." Mikiko demanded.
Aria smiled. "After what you did to that tree, do you really think I'm gonna say 'no'?"

We hear the alarm for 8am and get ready, shower and pack before meeting John and Jenny for breakfast at 9am. I look out the window and it's still pitch black, mornings are depressing in Spain. Lucky the sun doesn't go down until 7:30pm, so you don't lose too much of your day. We head down at 9am and see John and Jenny already tucking into some breakfast. We are finished within the hour, head up to our rooms to clean our teeth and grab our bags. We head off and check out by 10am. We ...
Voyage to Oviedo
... all the artworks and sculptures to you. We all looked hilarious and couldn't stop laughing, so a selfie photo it had to be. We got a bit lost at first trying to figure out what number to plug into our walkie talkies but after 10mins or so we realised what we had to do. Most of the Guggenheim was of Jean-Michael Basquiet and his artwork, history, etc. so of course, I was in my element as Aaron struggled to understand the beauty and concept behind ...
Glittering Gijon
... but had a small beer. From there we diverted back to the main highway for Gijon (pronounced thee-hon, the hon sounding like a guttural cough). Arriving in Gijon, we decided to park in a public parking area near the beach and walk to our hotel rather than navigate narrow one way streets and impossibly small hotel parking garages (we're getting smarter as we roll along - damn those mid-size not compact cars). Our hotel Santa Rosa, ...
Day 3 - I discover a new Olympic sport
... Of course I get on with everyone (out here!) but there seem to be a few frictions in the camp (shades of get me out of here...) The problem seems to be some of the overly keen pilgrims, the ones who walk 1,000 km, cook at 5pm, bed by 8pm, up at 6:30 and first to the next albergue to bag the best bed. Clearly this, and being told to be quiet at 8pm as others were trying to sleep, was concerning to some. I see the problem - some of these people, with strange kit and ...
Day 22 -- Sobrayo to Gijón -- 6km
... curlers came down and gladly checked us in early.
The rest of the day was spent napping, eating and local sightseeing. Mom finally found the perfect shoes, the exact pair she wears at home, and it instantly made a difference. I hadn't mentioned it here in a while, but her feet were still hurting pretty bad. I bought some new sandals as mine had pretty much worn through to the ground, and we walked the boardwalk along ...

Ed Miliband is starting to make sense. His plan for Make Work Pay contracts, which he reveals in an interview with this newspaper today, is a creative way of working with the grain of market forces to promote social justice. He proposes that a Labour government would give a one-year subsidy to employers who give a pay rise to low-paid workers to bring them up to the "living wage", currently £7.45 outside London.
The subsidy would cost taxpayers nothing, because it would be paid for by the higher tax and National Insurance revenue and the savings in tax credits.
It would still cost employers to raise their workers' pay, although the scheme would meet 32p in the pound of the additional cost, and there are many benefits to employers of higher wages, which tend to reduce staff turnover, increase productivity and enhance the employer's reputation. The subsidy could provide the spur to many employers for whom the decision to raise low wages is a marginal one – and if it doesn't provide the benefits in which Mr Miliband believes, then they can revert to paying the minimum wage.
This is sensible. The national minimum wage has been one of the success stories of the last Labour government. Introduced at a low level in 1999, it was raised steadily by much more than inflation and by more even than average wages. If it had kept up with wages it would be about £5.60 an hour now. Instead it is £6.31 for workers aged 21 and over, and was raised throughout the recession without an adverse effect on jobs. Indeed, the effect of this recession on employment has been much less than that of previous recessions.
However, Mr Miliband and Ed Balls, the Shadow Chancellor, accept that pushing the minimum wage up more quickly would probably have the effect of putting people out of work. Yet there is much that could be done to raise low wages selectively, which can have an effect in narrowing differentials workplace by workplace. The Living Wage Foundation, a charity, has already accredited 400 employers as living wage employers. Mr Miliband's plan could significantly increase that number, bringing tangible benefits to workers, employers and the nation generally. Not only would a smaller gap between high and low pay promote social cohesion, but more money in the hands of the low-paid feeds more quickly into aggregate demand than, say, tax cuts for the rich.
It is also worth congratulating Mr Miliband on the cleverness of his scheme. Unlike his proposed gas and electricity price freeze, it makes good economic sense while also being symbolic, advertising One Nation Labour's concern with the living standards of the hard-working poor. It will be interesting to see how the Conservatives, who once opposed the minimum wage, will respond.
If there are problems with the policy, they are those of the living wage generally. There are technical problems, for example, in how the wage is set. Outside London, the rate is based on what people say in surveys is needed for a "minimum standard" of life, assuming a typical household in which the adults work 38.5 hours a week. But the London rate, £8.55 an hour, seems to be calculated in an arbitrary way, and it is to be hoped that tomorrow's uprating puts that right.
Targeted living-wage subsidies were advocated in the US more than a decade ago, but they have not been tried on this scale. Mr Miliband is leading the world in intelligent One Nation politics.Reuse content

Report of the Commission of Experts of the President of the United Nations General Assembly on Reforms of the International Monetary and Financial System
September 21, 2009
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Crisis: Its Origins, Impacts, and the Need for a Global Response
1. The current financial crisis, which began in the United States, then spread to Europe, has now become global. The rapid spread of the financial crisis from a small number of developed countries to engulf the global economy provides tangible evidence that the international trade and financial system needs to be profoundly reformed to meet the needs and changed conditions of the 21st century. The crisis has exposed fundamental problems, not only in national regulatory systems affecting finance, competition, and corporate governance, but also in the international institutions and arrangements created to ensure financial and economic stability. These institutions have proven unable to prevent the crisis and been slow to design and implement adequate responses. Indeed, some policies recommended by these institutions have facilitated the contagion of the crisis around the world.
2. The crisis emanated from the centre and reached the farthest limits of the periphery. Developing countries, and especially the poor in these countries, are among the hardest hit victims of a crisis they had no role in making. Even emerging market economies and least developed countries that have improved their economic management suffer declining output and employment. Indeed, those countries that have had the best performance in the recent past, and that have been most successful in integrating into the global economy, have been among the most badly affected.
3. Past economic crises have had a disproportionate impact on the living standards of the world's poor. Those who are least able to bear these costs will bear consequences long after the crisis is over. Infants who suffer from malnutrition will be stunted for life. Children who drop out of school are not likely to return, and they will never live up to their potential. Future growth and employment prospects may be impaired if small firms are forced into bankruptcy. Economic policies must be particularly sensitive to these hysteresis effects.
4. It is important to recognize that what began as a crisis in the financial sector has now become an economic crisis. But, it is not only an economic crisis, it is also a social crisis. According to the International Labour Organization, some 200 million workers, mostly in developing economies, will be pushed into poverty if rapid action is not taken to counter the impact of the crisis. Even in some advanced industrial countries, millions of households are faced with the threat of losing their homes, their jobs and access to health care. Economic insecurity and anxiety is increasing among the elderly as their life savings disappear with the collapse of asset prices. The ILO estimates that unemployment in 2009 could increase by some 30 million compared to 2007, and reach more than 50 million if conditions continue to deteriorate.
5. While the crisis began in the financial markets of advanced industrial countries, and then spread to the real economy, in many developing countries the initial impact of the crisis has been felt in the real sector, but is now spreading through the financial system. Developing countries are being affected through falling export demand and prices, accompanied by reversals of capital flows and reductions in remittances. While developed countries have the fiscal flexibility to respond, to stimulate their economies, to shore up failing financial institutions, to provide credit, and to strengthen social protections, most developing countries have tighter budget constraints, and resources directed towards offsetting the impact of the crisis must be diverted from development purposes. Money spent to extend social protection may be at the expense of future growth.
6. While it is important to introduce structural changes to adapt the international system to prevent future crises, this cannot be achieved without significant immediate measures to promote recovery from the current crisis. To the extent possible, these measures should promote, or at least be consonant with, the needed long-run structural changes.
7. The welfare of developed and developing countries is mutually interdependent in an increasingly integrated world economy. Short-term measures to stabilize the current situation must ensure the protection of the poorest in the least developed countries, many of whom are in sub-Saharan Africa and will bear a heavy burden of adjustment. Long term measures to make another recurrence less likely must ensure sustainable financing to strengthen the policy response of developing countries. Without a truly inclusive response, recognizing the importance of all countries in the reform process, global economic stability cannot be restored, and economic growth, as well as poverty reduction worldwide will be threatened.
8. At the same time, the international community cannot focus exclusively on immediate measures to stimulate the economy if it wishes to achieve a quick robust recovery. This crisis is, in part, a crisis in confidence, and confidence cannot be restored unless steps are taken to begin the more fundamental reforms required, for instance through improved regulation of the financial system.
9. Any solution—short term measures to stabilize the current situation and long term measures to make another recurrence less likely—must be global, and must pay due attention to impacts on all countries and all groups within society.
10. Any inclusive global response will require the participation of the entire international community. To respond to this need, the President of the General Assembly created the present Commission of Experts to identify measures needed to meet the crisis and to recommend longer term reforms, giving explicit attention to the needs of developing countries. Recognizing work undertaken by the G-7/8 and G-20, and others, the Commission sees its own work as complementary, seeking to focus on impacts and responses to the crisis on poverty and development.
11. Reform of the international system must have as its goal the improved functioning of the world's economic system in support of the global good. This entails simultaneously pursuing long-term objectives, such as sustainable and equitable growth, the creation of employment in accordance with the "decent work" concept, the responsible use of natural resources, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and more immediate concerns, including addressing the challenges posed by the food and financial crises. As the world focuses on the exigencies of the moment, long standing commitments to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and protecting the world against the threat of climate change must remain overarching priorities; indeed, both the immediate steps taken in response to the crisis and the longer-term global reforms should provide an opportunity to accelerate progress toward meeting these goals. While the world will eventually recover from the global economic crisis, the resolution of other challenges, including that posed by global warming, and those posed by the potential shortage of food and water, will require additional measures. The conjunction of huge unmet global needs, including responding to the challenges of global warming and the eradication of poverty, in a world with excess capacity and mass unemployment, is unacceptable.
12. Ten years ago, at the time of the Asian financial crisis, there was much discussion of the necessity for rapid reform of the global financial architecture if the world were to avoid the occurrence of another major crisis. Little— too little, it is now evident— was done. It is imperative to provide an adequate immediate response to the current crisis, but also to begin the long run reforms that will be necessary to have a more stable, prosperous and balanced global economy. The aim must be to avoid future global crises.
13. Both developed and developing countries must recognize that globalization must meet the needs of all citizens of the world. While it promised to help stabilize global financial markets and reduce the scale of domestic economic fluctuations, it failed to do so. Rather it served to facilitate contagion from one country to another. A failure in one economy is now leading to a global recession or depression. And unless something is done, and is done quickly, those in developing countries are likely to be among those who suffer most.
14. This report presents an analytical framework for understanding what has gone wrong and possible remedies. It presents both broad perspectives on policies and specific recommendations. This introductory Chapter provides an overview of some of the key issues and policy frameworks and perspectives. As noted, the crisis is both a financial crisis and an economic crisis. It has both macro- and micro- aspects. It began as a failure in the financial sector, but the problems in that sector were in part a result of underlying macroeconomic problems, such as growing global imbalances and growing income inequalities within and between countries. The fact that existing global institutions did little to prevent the crisis, and the delays in developing adequate responses to the crisis, suggest that there are important institutional problems that the international community needs to address. The frequent crises that have accompanied globalization, with problems in one country quickly spilling over creating problems in others, suggests the need for reform of the international financial system to meet the needs of an increasingly interdependent world economy. The fact that a major impact of these crises has been on the poor and the developing countries makes it clear that there are inadequacies in global market and non-market mechanisms for managing financial risks.
15. The current economic crisis should provide an opportunity to reassess global economic arrangements and prevalent economic doctrines. Large changes have occurred in the global economy in recent years, e.g. in the sources of global savings, foreign exchange reserves and GDP, and these are not fully reflected in our global economic institutions and arrangements. In trying to resolve the problems of the short run crisis it is important to seize the opportunity to make deeper reforms that enable the world to enter the twenty-first century with a more equitable and stable global financial system, one which could usher in an era of enhanced prosperity for all countries.
