This is a unique opportunity for a proven and engaged finance executive to lead and enhance the fiscal operations of an organization committed to commercialization and investment in research at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Managing Director, the CFO will work in close partnership with each member of the management team to provide a strategic fiscal vision and operational plan for the organization while ensuring a high level of innovation, openness, collaboration, and accountability. As WARF embarks on its next five-year strategic plan, the CFO will play a critical role to guide changes in financial management to achieve the organization's mission and foster WARF's position as a leader in technology transfer and investment management. The CFO will be responsible for communicating a complex set of information to key stakeholders in a way that is consistent, understandable, and thorough. The CFO will also manage the Information Technology (IT) department ensuring appropriate processes and systems are in place to support data integration and reporting across the organization.
The Organization

Liverpool remain hopeful that they will be able to break the deadlock in their talks with Aston Villa for Christian Benteke, although Brendan Rodgers' side have not yet placed a bid for the striker.
The Independent reports that Liverpool manager, Rodgers, still wants another proven goalscorer to add to his team - despite the addition of Brazil international Roberto Firmino last week - and the club are looking to be imaginative as they seek a way through the stumbling block to a breakthrough: the £32.5 million release clause in the Belgian's contract, which Villa have set as their valuation and Liverpool categorically won't meet.
The club may look to offer players to Villa as part of a deal, with Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini both forwards who have little prospect of featuring, and Firmino clearly not the only attacking addition heading for Anfield this summer.
The options narrowed today as Liverpool stepped away from negotiating for one of the alternative targets - Sevilla's £21 million Colombian Carlos Bacca - who is now destined for AC Milan instead.
The escape clause valuation for Bacca - a 29-year-old with little potential re-sale value - was just not attractive enough to Liverpool.
The club also know that negotiations over Zenit St Petersburg's Venezuelan Salomon Rondon could be complicated, although he remains a possible target if - as has been the case so far - there is no breakthrough on Benteke.
With Manchester City expected to make a third bid for Raheem Sterling any day, another striker will be pursued by Liverpool.
The speed with which they wrapped up the Firmino deal revealed a determination to act boldly, to prevent the club being gazumped as they have in recent years for such targets as Armenia midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who went to Borussia Dortmund and Willian, who favoured Chelsea.
The push for Benteke comes against the background of his known desire to leave the Midlands club. The player has indicated that he won't be signing a new contract to stay beyond the 24 months remaining on his current deal.
Rodgers is thought to believe the Belgian could make a major impact, and would have encouraged Liverpool to launch a bid last summer had the striker not been sidelined with a serious Achilles injury that cost him a World Cup place and kept him out until October.
He has scored 49 goals in 99 Villa games since his £7 million move from Belgian club Genk in 2012.

Liverpool are also expected to conclude personal terms and a medical leading to the arrival of Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne this week, after a £12.5 million bid was accepted.

Maxxie: freak out.Mature
Even though I'd expected it - even prepared myself for it - it wasn't any easier to deal with. I wanted to fucking scream. But I managed to make my face pull the exact expression I wanted it to - unsurprised, not quite resigned, but accepting.
"Don't worry about him," I heard John murmur as I walked away. For some reason, the fact that I knew Cay wouldn't worry about me made something inside of me snap. My fists balled up as I walked down the stairs, silently raging. Hadley was at the bottom of the stairs, watching me with this weird look on his face. I couldn't really tell what expression it was. All I knew was it needed my fist in it. So I whacked him as I walked past. To be honest, it probably hurt my fist more than it hurt him, but I didn't give a flying fuck.
I just walked straight outside and pulled myself up the rope ladder.
I reach the top and throw myself down on my ass, letting out a low moan as I bury my face in my hands. "Fuck." My knuckles throb as a light breeze cools them and I grit my teeth, lifting my head so I can rub them. As I look up, Hadley appears, walking across the roof toward me, Caleb following behind at a distance.
"Sorry," I mutter as he reaches me.
"I fucking warned you. I warned you and you knew it was coming either way," he says harshly, and I nod.
"I said sorry! Fucking hell. Just because I knew it was coming, that doesn't make it any easier!" I snap, looking away.
"Okay, guys, let's just cool it. And could we maybe get off the roof?" Caleb suggests. I ignore him, hugging my knees to my chest, looking out over the road below us. I hear Hadley draw in a deep breath, trying to keep his temper in check.
"Look, I know it's hard but hiding up here isn't acting like it doesn't bother you," he says. I groan inwardly, knowing he's right. After a moment, I nod and look up at him.
"Yeah," I mumble quietly, getting up.
"Does this mean we're getting down now? Heights really freak me out," Caleb says anxiously.
"You didn't have to come up here," I mutter, reluctantly moving back towards the ladder.
"Well you need at least one voice of reason up here."
"Appreciated. You first," I gesture towards the ladder.
"Thank fuck." He races down the ladder and I follow him quietly. Hadley waits a few moments before joining us back on terra firma. I wander into the kitchen and notice my patches on the side. Y'know, it might have helped if I'd been wearing one of those before. I pull one out absently, and stick it to my arm, staring at the floor, trying to pull myself together. Caleb looks around, sort of nervously. Why he's nervous, I have no fucking clue, but as I'm about to ask him why he looks freaked out, he awkwardly hugs me.
"Sorry, bro," he says. I wrap my arms around him, trying to take comfort from someone who's pretty much a stranger to me still. "Hadley's not gonna be sympathetic, he's never been in love," he tells me and I nod, resting my head on his shoulder.
"He doesn't have to be sympathetic," I sigh, "I'm grateful for his help; he doesn't have to do any of this." Hadley walks in and I look up at him.
"How're we gonna do this then?" he asks. I let go of Caleb and lean back on the counter.
"With no more punching from me would be a good start, I think," I mutter.
"Chances are Cayden'll be oblivious to anyone else til tomorrow so for now I think you just need to put on a brave face," he says, and Caleb nods in agreement.
"And maybe make sure you and Hadley are together if Cayden's in the room," he adds and I glance at Hadley.
"Yeah, okay. I think I can manage that now I've had my freak out," a small, wry smile appears on my lips and I look back at the floor, keeping my breathing regular as I try to stop myself freaking out again. Fucking useless emotions.
"C'mon, let's go for a walk. It'll take your mind off it," he flashes a smile as I glance back up. Caleb nods again and links arms with me. With a shrug, I follow them to wherever they think I should be walking.

|Providential is a thoroughbred racehorse out of Prudent Girl by Run the Gantlet. He was born around 1977 in Ireland, and was bred by Bertram R. Firestone.
|Major wins
Critérium de Saint-Cloud (1979)
Prix Greffulhe (1980)
Washington, D.C. International Stakes (1981)
Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes (1981)
|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
Providential (February 6, 1977 - May, 1998) was an Irish-born Thoroughbred racehorse who competed successfully in France and won the most important race on turf in the United States. Bred and raced by Bertram R. Firestone, he was sired by Run the Gantlet, the 1971 American Champion Male Turf Horse and a son of Tom Rolfe, the 1965 Preakness Stakes winner and American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse. His dam was Prudent Girl, a daughter of Primera who raced in England where he won back-to-back editions of the Princess of Wales's Stakes in 1959-1960.
Trained by Francois Boutin, Providential made two starts at age two. After making a winning debut on October 29, 1979 at Saint-Cloud Racecourse, he came back on November 11 to win the Group 2 Critérium de Saint-Cloud. In January of 1980, Providential was sold to Serge Fradkoff, a Swiss businessman who also campaigned Perrault and Kilijaro in France and the United States.
In his first start for his new owner on April 13, 1980, Providential won the Group 2 Prix Greffulhe at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. On the same racecourse, the colt ran second in the Prix Hocquart and third in France's most important race for three-year-old colts, the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club. Fradkoff then entrusted the horse's race conditioning to Olivier Douieb who saddled him to three unsuccessful starts in France, a third-place finish in the Premio Roma at Capannelle Racecourse in Rome, Italy, and twentieth place in a Group 1 race at Hipódromo de San Isidro in Argentina.
In 1981, Serge Fradkoff sent Providential to the care of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer Charlie Whittingham at Santa Anita Park in California. For Whittingham, Providential finished second in his October debut and then second in the Grade II Carleton F. Burke Handicap. Ridden by French jockey Alain Lequeux, in November Providential won the most important race of his career against an international field in the Washington, D.C. International Stakes at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland. Returning to California, he won the Grade I Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes at Hollywood Park Racetrack.
Raced in 1982 with limited success, Providential was retired to stud. His offspring met with limited success in racing.
Providential died of a heart attack at age twenty-one in May of 1998 at Derby Hill Farm in Mount Airy, Maryland.

Showbiz Sandbox 272: Why The TV Industry Is Fighting Over Your Viewing Habits
March 9, 2015
Time-shifting content consumption has grown astronomically over the past several years thanks to technology like streaming and DVRs. Nearly half of all TV viewers no longer watch shows when they are first aired, upending the traditional ratings system used to measure audiences. Networks now want advertisers to pay for all the viewers of a program up to a week after its original telecast.
Presently, advertisers only pay for viewers of a show during the first three days after its broadcast, a timeframe the don't wish to extend. Complicating the matter is a dramatic increase in the number of shows airing during primetime, fracturing audiences and forcing ad execs to sift through 1,700 programs in which commercials can be placed.
Buying ad time during the Academy Awards ceremony is usually a no-brainer for marketing moguls, however the Oscars telecast has become so predictably dull that it's audience has begun to shrink. In an effort to boost ratings, the Academy's Board of Governors is now hinting they may revert back to having only five Best Picture nominees, rather than the potential of ten. We debate why this is not such a good idea.
Of course, we also cover the week's top entertainment news stories including the high profile court battle over the authoriship of a hit song, NBC goes over-the-top and Bruce Willis heads to Broadway.

Showbiz Sandbox 271: A Brief History of Net Neutrality
March 2, 2015
Last week the Federal Communications Commission approved new rules that will regulate broadband Internet service and enforce net neutrality. Just in case you're still trying to decipher the net neutrality news, Jonathan Strickland, a senior writer for How Stuff Works, explains exactly what it is how the issue has evolved over time, starting in the 19th-century with laws designed to govern railroads.
Another hot topic in Hollywood lately has been the executive shuffle taking place at several studios. Former Fox exec Tom Rothman will take over for the recently departed Amy Pascal as head honcho of Sony Pictures, while Paramount begins its own search for a new leader after the departure of Adam Goodman.
Surely all of these moguls would be quick to assure you that Will Smith is indeed a movie star despite a few recent box office duds, yet as his latest film hits theaters news stories abound asking whether the actor can still open a movie.
Of course, we also cover the week's top entertainment news stories including the Blade Runner sequel moves forward, Pee Wee Herman brings his playhouse to Netflix and Disney reboots Ducktales.

The time will come when..
We all wake up and realize we are growing up.
We wake up and realize how fucked our life is.
You always wanted to grow up , right?
Now what..
You wanna go back,
To not knowing anything.
To being fresh and new to the world.
To nothing being stressful.
I cried and told my younger sister to never grow up.
She thought I was joking..
She didn't realize..
That with every age we take comes new responsibilities.
We realize things,
We regret things,
We end things.

Im having some issues with album art for my ripped cd collection. I have album art in each of the mp3s and also a folder.jpg that contains the album art. I copied thee files to a usb drive and attached it to my wdlive.
When I browse to music/Local drives/folders/ then I see cover art for the folders containing the cd's.
When I browe to artists and then to the artist of my choice and then to the list of cd's I dont se any cover art untill I go to the individual files. Is this a bug ?
Is that embedded cover art or just a jpg that you copied and pasted in the folder. I believe it only reads embedded cover art.
I have a folder.jpg in each folder that contains a ripped CD and I have cover art in each file.
From http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2742/~/how-to-show-thumbnails-on-a-wd-tv-(all-models)
I conclude I should cover art eveywhere , but that does not seem to be the case.

Users of Gonetoosoon, the popular online memorial site that allows members of the public to post their respects to deceased friends and family, are deleting their tributes after it started carrying 'distasteful' ads.
The decision to link the website through Google to online ads for everything from financial services to CDs has caused a furore among regular visitors to the site.
They say some of the ads are particularly distasteful. In one case, an online memorial for a boy called Ryan featured an advert for Ryanair. Another, for a woman called Sheila, linked to Sheila's Wheels car insurance. A person called Watts was linked to an ad for light bulbs. A tribute to a boy killed in a motorcycle accident carried an ad for a new motorbike while memorials for babies had promotions for nappies and prams.
There is no suggestion the companies involved knew that links to their adverts were being carried on the website.
Within hours of the company's decision to carry advertising, hundreds of users started expressing their disgust. 'The last thing I need to see on my site is an advert for Owens conveyor belts,' wrote one site user. 'My darling daughter was cremated. How sick to put that there. I am horrified.'
Another wrote: 'Can you really trust a site which posts an advert of Ian Huntley's biography - not only on my beautiful friend Ian's site, but on a website that also has a memorial for Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman?'
One woman wrote: 'How sick is it that the site of poor Ellie Lawrenson who was savaged by a dog has an advert saying how to protect your family! I will never ever visit GTS again after this.'
In the face of an overwhelming backlash, the site stopped carrying advertising last week.
In a statement posted on the site, Terry George Kernachan, a Yorkshire-based entrepreneur, insisted Gonetoosoon was a 'labour of love' which had so far cost him £27,000 to set up and run.
But he said he had never expected it to be so popular and that he had to look at ways of bringing in revenue to cover mounting costs. The only fee users pay is a £1 a minute charge for calls to a technical service helpline.
'It seemed like a good idea to put sensitive ads on the site to help pay for some of the costs and our users would suffer no financial loss,' Kernachan wrote on the Gonetoosoon website. 'This turned out to be somewhat inappropriate and was quickly removed. A debate was opened up on the site and some positive suggestions arose from it.'
However, some users of the site point out that it has made great efforts to build up its online profile. For instance, Gonetoosoon points out to families that they can also share their stories with the media.
The site also encourages people to set up memorials for those they don't know. 'Don't think it's not your place to set up a site,' Gonetoosoon says. 'You would not be encroaching on other family members' territory.'
The site's popularity has led to claims the site encourages 'car crash' voyeurism in the online world. Celebrity tributes to deceased stars such as snooker player Paul Hunter and footballer Alan Ball, have earned Gonetoosoon hundreds of thousands of hits. Visitors to the site can also send an email to the website that 'lights a candle' icon, showing the deceased is in a person's thoughts.
The burgeoning popularity of so-called 'cyber graveyards' has prompted calls for them to be regulated. Jon Davies, creator of Muchloved, a charitable online memorial site, said he would be consulting other sites to ensure grieving families views were respected.
'We aim to establish a code of conduct to prevent this sort of thing happening again,' Davies said. 'In this way we hope something positive can come out of this.'
Kernachan, a director of eight media companies, is now encouraging users to make a contribution to Gonetoosoon to help keep the site free.
But his decision to carry ads means some regular users who have removed their tributes in disgust are unlikely to return. 'Talk about selling out,' wrote one. 'It smacks of selling your granny.'

Can you prove any of this or are you just full of arrogant, religious BS?
#294012 Apr 27, 2013
To the other real Christians, what have you learned on this thread. I have learned that it is mainly populated by proabortion pagans. Many were at one time Christians but turned away from their Faith due to emotional and physical abuse in their homes. Some did not want the responsibility of living good and moral lives. They are damaged people. Now they are just confused pawns of Satan.
You want to reason with them, fine. Does human life begin at conception? Do you support the slaughter of millions of unborn children in abortionariums? Can someone be for the choice of abortion but against the abortion? Can one who has been taught in the Faith and turned their backs on God and worship in pagan rituals go to Heaven? Is sodomy accceptable to you as a Christian? Are you OK with the many homosexual, lesbian and bisexual pagans on here, joyfully recounting their abnormal sexual practices? Do you as a person of Fatih, whom has read what they have written about Christians and unborn children, feel they are resoanble people?
If as a person of Faith you can answer yes to any of those questions, I submit you are not a person of Faith. You are more of a Convenient Christian willing to bend to the pagan pressure just to get along with the group. You are only a few steps from Satans grasp, and on the road to being just another proabortion pagan.
To aceept abortion is to support it!
Yours in service to the Faith.

Who would you suggest I seek, since I already know it all?:)
If the word Hell bothers you, then how about "they were cast into outer darkness, where there is wailing and nashing of teeth?" Is that better?
What is sooo bad about a guy telling others how his life waw changed by God?
How he cheated on hiw wife, lied, took advantage of others and was selfish, self centered, sob, yet now he loves his wife, and gives himself up for her. No.longer lies, cheats, or have evil thoughts toward others?
Quick to say I'm sorry "which I will say to you now " if I've offended you by being a jerk, or thinking higher of myself then I should.:)
Before God -I would never say that in a million years!!
I wouldn't care if I knew I was in the wrong -i would've blamed something or someone else.
What I've told you is true. I am only 1 of many many many people, who have had a life changing experience with God.
Please ask yourself why???
Why do you want nothing to do with God?
why do you feel you know soooo much about this man God /man Jesus, and Hate Him soooo much, that you drag His name through the mud with your post name alone?
Go to corinth ms topix, if you doubt my story. I've been posting it there for several years. Look up Gtown71 -for many post have been started on me alone.
I'm telling you this, at the risk of you or others comming there to bash me, and you and master blaster or doubting thomas would love eavh other, but I care not what happens to me, if it will help you come to know God.
I don't know it all, but one thing I do know, and that is God wants you to know that you know that you know, that YOU ARE SAVED "BORN AGAIN, HEAVEN BOUND" SAVED :)

I firmly believe all who are in Christ will remain in Christ.
This puts me in a very small population of "christians"
I also believe a true christian "can" sin just.like those who know not Christ, or are known of Christ.
I hate "HATE" every sin, theirs and mine.
I don't believe many who curse and laugh at the name of Jesus Christ has ever ever been a christian.
They may have went to church, they may have been to mass, and they may know more bible then many, but nicodemus could've prob quoted the first 5 books of the bible, yet Jesus cut through all the smoke nic was blowing that night and told him plainly "YOUR ON YOUR WAY TO HELL "
I think abortion is wrong and should be always presented as such.
I believe acting upon or living a homosexual /lesbian life is wrong.
I believe looking ar porn is wrong.
I also believe it is mans "saved or not " biggest struggle.
Lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are mans biggest struggles.
I believe Jesus Christ can save anyone.
I believe once they are truly saved, they are forever saved and belong to God.
He holds onto me, and I'm very thankful He does.
He also knows how to correct His own, and He will whip us lovingly if we begin to stay.
If we refuse to yeild to His warning -I believe He will go so far, untill He kills our bodies, and takes us on to the house, if you will.
With no rewards to throw at His feet, and our heads down.
I love Gods law for it was my teacher, telling me just how lost I was, so that I was able to find His grace :)
I believe those of us "in Christ" have different calling upon us, and we will never be perfect at what we do, as long as we are in this body of death, but God can use us, in spite of us :)m
some 30 some 60 some 90 fold.
Lastly God is merciful and loooong suffering.
We tend to look at others through the law and justice, but want others to look at us through grace and mercy.
Keep on keeping on bro.
faint not in well doing, in due time bro in due time.:)
#294016 Apr 27, 2013
Your arrogance and ignorance is maddening. All your posts reek of arrogance, claiming to know the truth and that God came.... just for you. It is the height of arrogance to speak the way you do.
What bothers me is you, and your religions misuse and willful corruption of the word, Hel. It is a word of "pagan" origin, but why would you care about the distortion of a different cultures beliefs and traditions.
You can imagine all the suffering you like. Revel in it some more you sadistic pig.
#294017 Apr 27, 2013
Why do you make empty judgments about someone you know nothing about?
#294018 Apr 28, 2013
Excuse me.... you think you know what jesus said? And you think you're not arrogant?
Did jesus also mis-speak and use "your" instead of you're?
Oh, and if jesus did exist, he certainly never used the word Hel/hell. The first recorded use of the word (or a variant of it) was approximately 700 years after the bible was written. Perhaps you should go look that up.
I have repeated this and your continued, idiotic response is that I am "trying to say hell doesn't exist". That's not my style. I don't make moronic claims that can not be proven, like you do..... every single effing day you post on here.
FACTS remain your enemy.

Why do you?
You don't like how God saved me -take it up with Him.
You're sooo arogant your name is feces for Jesus, as you know He is nothing???
All I can do is say Father forgive them for they truly know NOT what they do!!!

Ok fair enough .
Jesus told nicodemus that unless a man is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. Better :)
Yet if there is a place called Hell "and I believe there is " then those who go there will go there whether they believe in it or not.

There is always going to be a need for abortions. You can't suppress what's natural. They do provide free services in family planning for patients at/or below poverty level and a sliding fee scale for low income patients it's called Title X. In 2011 Republicans wanted to cut this funding by 300 million. Any clinic that provides family planning services is entitled to receive government funds.

God did not come just for me. He came for you as well.
What you see as arogence, I see as boldly knowing the truth.
I truly was an atheist, and after being saved at 29 yo, I didn't wish to play around.
My God is very real, and very real to me.
He wants YOU to know that you know that you know where you're going at death.
If there is a God, then there is a Heaven, and there is a Hell.
If there is no Hell, then shut down all churches, and throw away all Holy Books.
why all the preaching going on all over the world?
Many religions teach there is no Hell, but they should shut their doors and burn their books.
Why they running around bothering people, if they ain't no where like Hell?
Redlight to Hell was preached by a man named percy ray from ms.
people were screaming, holding onto the pillars in the middle of the church house that night, as it was recorded.
Mr. Ray has been dead a few years, but built a large place down around new albany, which started with a word from God, and him going into a large field he owned with a shovel and, with no.money he began to dig the foundation.
A stranger pulled up, driving a nice car and told mr. Ray that he had never been through there before and didn't know anyone, but that he was a christian, and was praising the Lord while driving through, when God spoke to him about turning down that road and handing a man in a field a check for 10,000 dollars.
I've heard many stories like this since I've been saved.
I have a few of my own.
Idk, but perhaps you could look up the red light to Hell sound bite, and see what you think?

I should have said "when" not if. They have in the past and they still do provide free family planning services, but even then there have been the more conservative christian types not agree with that either because it promotes sexual activity before marriage.

Or, perhaps, this mother who DOES regret having her children was PRESSURED to have both, by spouse, in-laws, religious community, or all three. Unfortunately, many women aren't strong enough to resist the pressure and tell the guilt peddlers to back off and mind their own business. So they cave to the pressure and have kids they wish they never had. A very sad situation, for the entire family.
I think it's much better for girls/women to know all about the HARDSHIPS of motherhood NOW, long before a pregnancy happens, so they can make an INFORMED decision about it. One can't make an informed decision without all the facts, and in too many cases, the hardships of motherhood are deliberately kept hidden from girls/women until after a baby arrives, when it is too late for them to make that decision. I think it's time that changed.

So those who comment on here are lazy?
Did you miss the part about how a guy pulled a gun on me one night?
Plus -how do you know what "christ like " means?
#294027 Apr 28, 2013
Personally, I think the anti-choice side CAUSES this division, by trying to control women's sexual and reproductive decisions when in fact another woman's pregnancy is NONE of their business.
As I've said many times, the ONLY person who decides whether or not to continue a pregnancy is the WOMAN who is pregnant. Whatever decision she makes, it is HER decision and hers alone.
#294028 Apr 28, 2013
Hi Chicky! Great to see you back, I've missed you. I hope all is well with you and your family.

A British military attack on Syria will have to be a "judgment call" as there is no "single smoking piece of intelligence" that the regime used chemical weapons, David Cameron said at the beginning of the emergency Commons debate on Syria.
Arguing in favour of military intervention, the prime minister said he believed that forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad did use poisonous gas against the Syrian people "right in front of our eyes".
Cameron told MPs there were at least 95 "horrific videos" of people dying in a gas attack in a suburb of Damascus two weeks ago, and added there was further evidence in the form of witness and social media reports.
However, the prime minister did concede that there could be no 100% certainty about the intelligence on which Britain would have to make a decision on whether to intervene in Syria.
Cameron argued it was in Britain's national interest to maintain the "international taboo" against the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield. He said the consequences of inaction would be greater than action, as it would give Assad a green light to commit more abuses. "We must not let the spectre of previous mistakes paralyse us," he added.
He acknowledged people were sceptical about getting into "another war in the Middle East" after the actions of the Blair government in the runup to the 2003 Iraq war "well and truly poisoned the well of public opinion" about intervention on the basis of secret intelligence. But he insisted the situation was fundamentally different to Iraq.
"I am of course deeply mindful of the lessons of previous conflicts and in particular the deep concerns in the country caused by what went wrong with the Iraq conflict in 2003," he told MPs during a packed House of Commons debate on the issue.
"But this is not like Iraq. What we are seeing in Syria is fundamentally different," he said. "We are not invading a country. We are not searching for chemical or biological weapons. The case for ultimately, and I say ultimately because there would have to be another vote in this house, the case for ultimately supporting action is not based on a specific piece or pieces of intelligence."
He said the government's motion was purely based on the argument that the world must not stand by while chemical weapons are used against civilians. "The motion also makes clear that, even if all these steps are taken, anything we do would have to be legal, proportionate and specifically focused on deterring further use of chemical weapons," he said.
The prime minister promised he would wait until UN weapons inspectors had delivered their verdict before joining the US in any intervention. The inspectors are due to leave the country on Saturday and, it is understood, could deliver an interim report to the United Nations that day.
He also said it would be "unthinkable" to proceed if the UN security council was overwhelmingly against an attack – although this was not thought to refer to Russian and Chinese objections.
No military strike will take place without another vote by MPs in the House of Commons, Cameron added. "I wanted the recall of this house to debate these absolutely vital national and international issues," he said.
"It is this house that will decide what steps we next take. If you agree to the motion I have set down no action can be taken until we have heard from the UN weapons inspectors, until there has been further action at the United Nations and another vote in this house. "Those are the conditions we the British government, the British parliament, are setting and it is absolutely right we do so."
Ed Miliband said Cameron had not yet made a convincing enough case for a military strike on Syria. He said evidence published on Thursday by the joint intelligence committee was "important" but more was needed for it to be conclusive.
The Labour leader made it clear he was not opposed to action in principle but wanted more time and better arguments before his MPs would give the coalition their backing. The prime minister must make "a better case than he did today", he added.

Good Keyboard Tray
Not quite office premium quality (plastic versus metal arm), but works great. Also, instructions state to mount 7/8 inch from edge of desk, may need to mount further in (sticks out about an inch). Also noticed that care needs to be taken when repositioning the tilt. Once unlocked, the keyboard tray falls loose, unlike my office one.

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For one night, the Packers didn't look like a team one year removed from playing in the NFC title game. And the Cowboys once again looked like the beasts of the regular-season.
The duo of Marion Barber and Felix Jones staked the Cowboys to a 13-6 lead at halftime. Quarterback Tony Romo made two glaring mistakes in the first half, including throwing into a crowded end zone. The play could've turned the game around for the Packers, but T.O. caught Nick Collins after a 61-yard interception return.
The Cowboys' defense allowed a couple of big plays in the passing game, but they stiffened in the red zone. All the Packers had to show was three field goals from Mason Crosby.
The nation had the opportunity to meet Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin in the second half. He broke free across the middle on a 63-yard pass in the third quarter and then finished the night with a 52-yard touchdown. The former Monmouth (N.J.) University star was double-covered on the touchdown, but he used an old Michael Irvin pushoff technique to free himself after Romo heaved the ball up for grabs.
The Cowboys gashed the Packers for 149 yards in the first half, and finished with well over 200. The Cowboys did not have a 200-yard rushing game in 2007. It was a dominating performance by the offensive line, and Jones continued his impressive rookie campaign.
Now, the 3-0 Cowboys prepare for the resurgent Redskins (2-1) to come to town.

GREAT British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood reckons the US remake of the hit show will be brilliant and has even expressed interest in taking a role on it.
Hollywood, who is a judge on the UK series, said: "I think it's going to be fantastic.
"They've got things like Mississippi mud pie and pumpkin pie. They're known for their baking so I think it will be a great success."
Hollywood said he "would be interested" in being involved in the programme but remained coy about whether there were any plans for him to take a part.`
"I couldn't even say if I was," he teased.
The US version of the show has the working title Bake Off, and is expected to air next year.

Definition of insect
1a : any of numerous small invertebrate animals (such as spiders or centipedes) that are more or less obviously segmented —not used technicallyb : any of a class (Insecta) of arthropods (such as bugs or bees) with well-defined head, thorax, and abdomen, only three pairs of legs, and typically one or two pairs of wings
2 : a trivial or contemptible person
Examples of insect in a Sentence
a swarm of flying insects
the magazine's editor in chief was notorious for treating staffers as insects, often not even bothering to learn their names
Did You Know?
The bodies of insects have segments, or divisions, so they appear to have a series of notches cut into them. This led the Greek philosopher Aristotle to give insects the name entomon "a thing cut into." Entomon comes from the prefix en- "in," combined with the verb temnein "to cut." Later, when the Romans wanted a word for this kind of creature, they did not simply borrow the Greek word. Instead they translated it with the Latin word insectum, from the verb insecare "to cut into." Insectum was borrowed into English as insect.
Origin and Etymology of insect
Latin insectum, from neuter of insectus, past participle of insecare to cut into, from in- + secare to cut — more at saw
First Known Use: 1601
INSECT Defined for English Language Learners
Definition of insect for English Language Learners
: a small animal that has six legs and a body formed of three parts and that may have wings
: an animal (such as a spider) that is similar to an insect
INSECT Defined for Kids
Definition of insect for Students
1 : any of a group of small and often winged animals that are arthropods having six jointed legs and a body formed of a head, thorax, and abdomen Flies, bees, and lice are true insects.
2 : an animal (as a spider or a centipede) similar to the true insects Hint: This meaning is not scientifically accurate but may be encountered in common everyday use.
History for insect
The distinct parts into which insects' bodies are divided—head, thorax, and abdomen—inspired the Greek name used for them by the philosopher Aristotle: entomon, the "notched" or "segmented" animal. (Entomon is a noun derived from the verb entemnein, "to cut up" or "to cut into.") The Romans used insectum, a literal translation of Greek entomon, as their name for the creatures, and this Latin word has provided us with the ordinary English word for insects.

Stocks are down Monday, Dec. 24, 2012, amid concern that lawmakers will fail to reach a deal to stop the U.S. going over the so-called fiscal cliff. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
NEW YORK -- Stocks closed lower today on concern that lawmakers will run out of time to reach a budget deal before year-end.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 52 points to close at 13,139 in a shortened holiday trading session.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell three points to 1,427. The Nasdaq composite dropped 8 points to close at 3,013.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I., Conn.) said that it is now "more likely we'll go over the cliff than not," following the failure of a plan by House Speaker John Boehner's to allow tax rates to rise on wealthier Americans.
Failure to agree on a budget plan by Jan. 1 would lead to government spending cuts and tax hikes that could push the economy into recession.
The markets will be closed on Christmas.

Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. In fact, according to revolutionary new research, some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. Like humans, many birds have enormous brains relative to their size. Although small, bird brains are packed with neurons that allow them to punch well above their weight.
"[Narrator Margaret] Strom sounds suitably amazed by it all, too--a fine match of material and voice." (AudioFile)

Interesting Subject, Mispronunciations Detract
- Amazon Customer
Stick with fiction, narrator!
I'd like to preface this by saying that I have a passion for birds, and I love reading books about them. This book, however, was ruined. It was actually painful to try to trudge through this book BECAUSE OF THE NARRATION. I finally had to give up and read the hard copy. The book is good, but is not written by an ornithologist, so it lacks some of the deep understanding and passion that an ornithologist would offer.
Yes. The book was well researched and interesting (once I got rid of the narrator).
NO. If it were not for her broad middle-America accent, I would have thought that this narrator was unfamiliar with the English language. At the most generous, she is unfamiliar with many science terms. She loses fluency when there is the least bit of technical terminology and mispronounces so often that my groaning responses raised eyebrows of people next to me in the gym.When she said "orthony" instead of ornithology, I gave up, requested a refund, and read the hard copy.
Frustration: how hard can it be to find a narrator who has a basic understanding of biology? Or at least a producer who recognizes when pronunciation was wrong. I am sure the production staff caught some mistakes, but there were SO MANY of them! Irritation/Anger: The most irritating part of the problem was the halting tempo of her speech; it was obvious she did not understand what she was reading.
Do not hire this narrator for non-fiction.

Rethinking Abortion: Equal Choice, the Constitution, and Reproductive Politics
€ 40,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 1999
BeschreibungMark Graber looks at the history of abortion law in action to argue that the only defensible, constitutional approach to the issue is to afford all women equal choice - abortion should remain legal or bans should be strictly enforced. Steering away from metaphysical critiques of privacy, Graber compares the philosophical, constitutional, and democratic merits of the two systems of abortion regulation witnessed in the twentieth-century: pre-Roe v. Wade statutory prohibitions on abortion and Roe's ban on significant state interference with the market for safe abortion services. He demonstrates that before Roe, pro-life measures were selectively and erratically administered, thereby subverting our constitutional commitment to equal justice. Claiming that these measures would be similarly administered if reinstated, the author seeks to increase support for keeping abortion legal, even among those who have reservations about its morality. Abortion should remain legal, Graber argues, because statutory bans on abortion have a history of being enforced in ways that intentionally discriminate against poor persons and persons of color. In the years before Roe, the same law enforcement officials who routinely ignored and sometimes assisted those physicians seeking to terminate pregnancies for their private patients too often prevented competent abortionists from offering the same services to the general public. This double standard violated the fundamental human and constitutional right of equal justice under law, a right that has powerful roots in the American political tradition and that remains a major concern of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Pressestimmen"[Mark Graber's] pragmatic interpretation of abortion law and politics is interesting, concisely written, and well researched... Its combination of concrete analysis and theoretical insights should provide for a productive discussion."--Timothy L. Smith, The Law and Politics Book Review "In this extremely interesting and well-written book, Mark Graber maintains that the abortion debate has bogged down. He wants to try a new approach, one that is both pragmatic and, he hopes, likely to appeal to those Americans who, like him, believe that abortion is morally wrong, but should be legal."--Bonnie Steinbock, Ethics

"Go and suck eggs" is the basic experimental method in a series of studies done by Hugh B Cott, of Cambridge University, in the early 1950s.
The titles are pretty self-explanatory:
The Palatability of the Eggs of Birds - Illustrated By Experiments on the Food Preferences of the Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus).
The Palatability of the Eggs of Birds: Illustrated by Three Seasons' Experiments (1947, 1948 and 1950) on the Food Preferences of the Rat (Rattus norvegicus).
The Palatability of the Eggs of Birds - Illustrated by Experiments on the Food Preferences of the Ferret (Putorius furo) and Cat (Felis catus) - With Notes on Other Egg-Eating Carnivora. Those other carnivora are numerous, and include civets, mongooses and meerkats, hyenas, dogs and dingoes, otters, aardwolves and foxes.
Egg palatability experiments are potentially of great practical value. Britain, like all island nations, was and is vulnerable to enemies who would block food shipments from overseas. One could counter that danger by discovering unknown or unappreciated edible native foodstuffs. A simple way to begin: collect bird eggs and test their palatability.
Egg collecting, like other research activities, is not without hazards. Cott relates an incident that's documented in an 1882 monograph: "The victim, having collected a basketful of the first eggs of the season, and wishing to procure more, had sent his wife to empty the basket in the village. In her absence, he fixed his rope to the clifftop and made a second descent. Meanwhile, a fox ran up and gnawed the rope till it severed, at the place where the man had previously rubbed his yolk-smeared hands."
Cott's experiments mainly addressed a scientific question - demonstrating that, usually, the most conspicuous eggs taste terrible to whatever might want to eat them. (Cott's parallel research programme on the comparative palatability of different birds themselves was described here last week.)
Cott also used human egg taste-testers. In 1946, he entered a six-year collaboration with the Cambridge Egg Panel, one of many similar bodies formed during second world war to help regulate the nation's food supply. Under Cott's direction, panelists tasted the eggs of 212 bird species. This resulted in a 129-page report called The Palatability of Eggs and Birds: Mainly Based upon Observations of an Egg Panel. It has raw data, supplemented with colourful highlights from the tasters' own notes and from other sources, including Cott's coterie of egg-collecting correspondents.
For the egg panellists, "samples were tested in the form of a scramble, prepared over a steam-bath, without any addition of fat or condiment". Each taster assessed each sample on a scale dropping from "ideal" way down to "repulsive and inedible".
The paper concludes with a list of the different egg types "in descending order of acceptability". Keep in mind that these are the aggregate preferences; individual tastes may vary. Most acceptable: chicken, then emu, coot and black-backed gull. The eggs of last resort, as rated by official British egg-tasting persons: green woodpecker, Verreaux's eagle owl, wren, speckled mousebird and, dead last, black tit.

Dead GirlsMature
I think that when you die, you get to go into this place where you could reflect upon your life, and then you'd get to choose what form of enlightenment would be best for you.
It would be a huge movie theatre, with the comfiest, plush seats, and all the popcorn you could want. And it would just be you, maybe there would be a couple making out in the back, but you wouldn't notice any of the people, or have any connections to them. And on the screen, your life would play. You'd get to sit back and watch yourself grow, watch your heart-breaks and triumphs, your highs and lows, your losses and loves. After that, you could exit out into the light, ready to take whatever path felt right.
It's silly, I know. And though, like any other human, I have no idea what death would be like, I think everyone deserves a second chance in life, even if they're dead.

How did no one see this coming? The PlayStation 4 has an optional camera accessory, games that use that camera, and the option to stream any game live to the Internet via the popular gaming-video service Twitch . Put those three ingredients together, let simmer for a week, and boom: Naked people , among other things. First, Twitch was banning individual users for inappropriate video content and comments in their livestreams. Now it has removed The Playroom , the fun PlayStation Camera demo game bundled with every PS4, from its directory. Twitch's terms of service explicitly say that it's only for game content, and I can't think of a less-bad option for dealing with users who ignore that. But what happens when games that aren't just hardware demos come along and are similarly abused? A Twitch spokesperson said content is "always gauged on a case by case basis" according to those terms. A "majority" of users streaming The Playroom were using it for "non-gaming related" content, according to a company statement. But, even if one person using a console has read ( hah! ) and agreed to the terms of service, one of the differences between consoles and personal computers — Twitch's longtime stomping ground — is that they're designed to be used by many people in various combinations at different times. Entering the living room and expecting everyone to pretend they're alone at a desk is not a sound strategy as social gamecasting matures. Although initially planned for launch, as it was on the PS4, Microsoft delayed Twitch streaming on its competing next-gen console, the Xbox One, until Q1 2014.Read More
Clinging to Outlook, Only 25 Percent of Yahoo Employees Willing to Eat Mail "Dogfood" (Best Memo Ever!)
As most know, I love a good internal memo from inside Yahoo and here's a doozy related to a rather controversial topic of late: How badly the new version of Yahoo Mail has been received by consumers. As has been widely reported, a relentless and vocal group of Yahoo Mail users have been complaining vociferously after the Silicon Valley Internet giant drastically revamped its popular Mail service in October. The ire includes a lot of distress over the removal of its tabs function and the addition of a multi-tasking feature in its place. Although change is hard for many, I get buttonholed almost everywhere I go by users — including some prominent techies — who complain about the new version. Apparently, some Yahoo employees agree, too, with only 25 percent of them heeding management pleas to move over from their longtime corporate email — Microsoft Outlook — to the new Yahoo Mail product. It's not clear why this is, but from an internal memo I obtained — memos are now raining down on me, which is an interesting sign of, well, something — some inside said it was because of its meeting functionality. That sounds right, since Yahoos (and all over Internet companies) love to meet! Rushing into the dicey breach, Yahoo's SVP of communications products Jeff Bonforte and CIO Randy Roumillat tried to deal with the issue head on in the cleverly titled missive to employees: "Windows 95 called and they want their mail app back." It noted, about the Yahoo Mail used by staffers: Earlier this year we asked you to move to Yahoo Mail for your corporate email account. 25% of you made the switch (thank you). But even if we used the most generous of grading curves (say, the one from organic chemistry), we have clearly failed in our goal to move our co-workers to Yahoo Mail. The rest is a corker of a memo, with the execs letting loose with all kinds of very funny literary and historical references you will need to Google — oops, according to him, you will need to Yahoo. Addressing the miscreants with some oddly phrased flair, they waxed on: For others, you might now be running in your head to a well worn path of justified resistance, phoning up the ol' gang, circling the hippocampian wagons of amygdalian resistance. Hold on a sec, pilgrim. I have no idea what this means and can't even figure it out via Google or Yahoo — but I like it! And, in a wacky attack on Microsoft products: First, it doesn't feel like we are asking you to abandon some glorious place of communications nirvana. At this point in your life, Outlook may be familiar, which we can often confuse with productive or well designed. Certainly, we can admire the application for its survival, an anachronism of the now defunct 90s PC era, a pre-web program written at a time when NT Server terrorized the data center landscape with the confidence of a T-Rex born to yuppie dinosaur parents who fully bought into the illusion of their son's utter uniqueness because the big-mouthed, tiny-armed monster infant could mimic the gestures of The Itsy-Bitsy Pterodactyl. There was a similar outcry when we moved away from Outlook's suite-mates in the Microsoft Office dreadnaught. But whether it's familiarity, laziness or simple stubbornness dressed in a cloak of Ayn Randian Objectivism, the time has come to move on, commrade [sic ... go deep in this pun, it is layered].

Image copyright Johannes Kornelius There are lots of companies out there that would like to move their existing software applications to the cloud. They work, though they typically required a lot of time and effort and expense to build in the first place. But there's also a lot of expensive infrastructure tied up in running them that could be eliminated. Modernizing applications is just one service provided by Apprenda, a New York-based startup that offers what it calls a platform-as-a-service solution for building and managing new applications. It focuses primarily on Microsoft's .NET and Oracle's Java, which are still very much considered the underpinning of enterprise IT applications. Anyway, if you have older apps built on these platforms, Apprenda aims to help you move them to the cloud. And if you're still not comfortable running them on say, Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, Apprenda, based in Clifton Park, N.Y., will help you deploy them to a private cloud or to a mixed environment where some apps run in private and some in public.Read More
It's largely accepted that miniature versions must compromise on something. Fancy sports cars lack back seats, snack-size candy bars are missing a whole lot of chocolate and the iPad Mini wants for high quality screen resolution and speedy performance. Until now. Apple's new iPad Mini, which starts at $399 and became available last week, has virtually the same specs as its big brother, the full-size iPad Air. Both offer the same head-turning Retina display with a super sharp screen resolution. Both have the same new chip for faster processing and improved graphics performance. Both have better technology for connecting to Wi-Fi or cellular networks. And both have improved front-facing cameras that work better in low light. Apple's iPad Mini with Retina display has a processor that's four times as fast as the original Mini, which helps with apps like iMovie, second screen from the right. This means you basically just choose what size screen you prefer, the 9.7-inch iPad Air or the 7.9-inch iPad Mini with Retina display, without compromising. I've been testing the iPad Mini with Retina display for the past week and a half, and this miniature version doesn't make me feel like I'm compromising on anything. My everyday iPad is the iPad 3 with Retina display, but I found myself reaching more often for the new Mini, tossing it into a bag to use on the go. I also carried it around the house more than I do my full-size iPad. And in my taxing battery test, it lasted 11 hours and 17 minutes, which is longer than Apple's estimate of 10 hours. This iPad Mini with Retina display is the second iteration of the iPad MiniRead More
Even before Microsoft launches its Xbox One on Friday, analysts already are calling Sony's PlayStation 4 the clear victor in the new console war this year. Many U.S. holiday shoppers have picked the video game console they plan to buy this season, with 36% of shoppers planning to purchase a Sony-branded device, followed by 27%... Read moreRead More
Four months after U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron called for search companies to step up their fight against child pornography, Microsoft and Google are announcing that they have cleaned up results for 100,000 potential queries, with Microsoft contributing picture-detection technology and Google's YouTube contributing video identification. Showing warnings to searchers has also reportedly already led to a drop-off of 20 percent in such activity. In an op-ed for the Daily Mail, Google chairman Eric Schmidt said Google put together a team of 200 people in the past three months to address the problem.Read More
More than one million units of Sony's latest gaming console, the PlayStation 4, were sold within 24 hours of its Friday debut in the U.S. and Canada. The company had previously said that about a million of those units were preordered before launch day. The number makes it seem likely that Sony will meet its year-end goal of three million units sold worldwide — a marked contrast from 2006, when manufacturing problems kept a large number of PlayStation 3s out of consumers' hands. Some early adopters have reported problems with overheating and TV connectivity , with both problems already receiving derisive nicknames online: The "Red Line of Death" and the "Blue Light of Death," so-called after the "Red Ring of Death" that plagued early owners of Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. We're awaiting comment from a Sony representative reached via email about the hardware glitches. No clear answers to these problems and no estimate of just how many people are affected have yet emerged. Since Friday, the company line has been that 0.4 percent of the consoles (or 4,000 out of a million) are potentially defective, "which is within our expectations for a new product introduction."Read More
In AllThingsD 's Q&A with Jack Tretton this week, the Sony Computer Entertainment of America CEO explained at length why he thinks the new PlayStation 4 can weather the storm of changing media habits and increased competition in the living room. For the superfans, though, that's all moot. The gaming world may be a very different place from what it was in 2006, but one thing hasn't changed: Sony (and, no doubt, Microsoft next week) can still expect the faithful to treat midnight console launches as celebrations. Here's what happened at Sony and GameStop's PS4 launch party in San Francisco on Thursday night.: (Photos by Vjeran Pavic)Read More
Steve Ballmer paced his corner office on a foggy January morning here, listening through loudspeakers to his directors' voices on a call that would set in motion the end of his 13-year reign as Microsoft Corp.'s chief executive. Microsoft lagged behind Apple Inc. and Google Inc. in important consumer markets, despite its formidable software revenue. Mr. Ballmer tried to spell out his plan to remake Microsoft, but a director cut him off, telling him he was moving too slowly. "Hey, dude, let's get on with it," lead director John Thompson says he told him. "We're in suspended animation." Mr. Ballmer says he replied that he could move faster.

Netflix is giving itself a makeover. The video service has overhauled the presentation most subscribers see when they watch Netflix on TV, using devices like Roku boxes, Sony's PlayStation consoles, smart TVs and Blu-ray players. The new look is supposed to debut today, but you can get a sense of what it looks like by checking out the screenshot above, or the embedded video at the bottom of the post. Or you can trust my description: Netflix is adding more images, and information, to its screens. It's all designed to make you more likely to click on a video and watch it. The goal, of course, is to get you to watch more Netflix, so you'll be more likely to keep paying $8 a month for the service. Netflix executives are proud of the facelift, which they described as the "biggest change to the Netflix experience in our history." What's at least as interesting to an outsider, though, are the reasons you won't see the new look on all the devices that connect Netflix to TVs. In some cases, there's a technical limitation, though the Netflix folks said they've worked hard to design software that's lightweight enough to work on relatively primitive devices. But the reason Netflix can't overhaul its look for other devices — like Apple's Apple TVs, and Microsoft's new Xbox One — is because the device manufacturers have specific rules about the way app developers can present their stuff on their devices.Read More

Liverpool striker Divock Origi says that his team should be challenging for the Premier League title.
Belgium international Origi signed for the Reds from Lille in July 2014 on a five-year deal, but was immediately loaned back to the French club.
The 20-year-old, who will be playing for Liverpool next season, told Sky Sports News HQ: "I think Liverpool is a wonderful club that deserves to be at the top and to be honest with the players they have, with the quality they have, then they should be finishing at the top of the league.
"I'm very happy to be going there.
"Brendan Rodgers is a very good coach and he has proved that so it will be very exciting to work with a world class coach.
Liverpool season player ratings
Liverpool season player ratings
1/24 GOALKEEPERS: Simon Mignolet
Was dropped after some really shaky form at the start of the season but recovered well to have a pretty solid campaign. But still not good enough to be Liverpool's No 1. 6.5/10
2/24 Brad Jones
Produced one of the worst performances in recent memory in the defeat at Old Trafford. His injury on Boxing Day was a bit of a blessing in disguise. 2
3/24 DEFENDERS: Glen Johnson
Never nailed down a regular spot this season and will leave the club this summer having never really lived up to his £18m price-tag. 5
4/24 Jose Enrique
Rodgers didn't fancy him last season and even less so this time round. Started just two Premier League matches. 2
Getty Images
5/24 Alberto Moreno
A real mixed season for the youngster. A talented and dangerous attacker but makes too many fatal errors. Plenty of room to improve defensively, however. 5
6/24 Javier Manquillo
Didn't start a league game in 2015 and endured a miserable time on the rare occasions he did manage to play. Has a long way to go. 3
Getty Images
7/24 Kolo Toure
Produced heroics in Madrid but also an error-strewn horror show in the Emirates. At 34 his future at the club is limited. 3
8/24 Dejan Lovren
Where to start? Looks close to a £20,000 player than a £20m one after a horrible season. Never got to grips with the pressure that being a Liverpool player would bring. 2
9/24 Mamadou Sakho
Athletically gifted and capable of good performances, Sakho also looks like a Sunday League player at times. There always seems to be an error round the corner. 4
10/24 Martin Skrtel
Liverpool's most consistent defender this season, Skrtel is very capable and has rarely put a foot wrong this term. 7.5
11/24 Emre Can
Did a good job playing as a third centre-back but next season should be given a real run in his favoured midfield position. Showed great flashes of promise and easily Liverpool's best buy last summer. 7
12/24 MIDFIELDERS: Steven Gerrard
Amid the emotion of his farewell tour Gerrard has had a torrid season. Last year was one of the best of his career but without Suarez and Sturridge the captain was unable to provide match his performances. Rodgers dropped the 'quarterback' role in the autumn and the years finally seemed to catch up to Gerrard. 5.5
Getty Images
13/24 Jordan Henderson
Stepped into his role as vice-captain and the man most likely to replace Gerrard. Offers a blend of graft, skill and drive that is hard to find. Liverpool's captain for the foreseeable future. 8
Getty Images
14/24 Lucas Leiva
It's a shame that the holding midfielder got injured just at the time when the 3-4-3 started to come together. Needs to stear clear of injury but still an intelligent performer. 5
15/24 Joe Allen
Allen is neat and tidy but doesn't offer much more. One goal all season, seems afraid to tackle and is weak when facing the best. His £15m fee is one of the worst pieces of business in Liverpool history. 5
Getty Images
16/24 Philppe Coutinho
The brightest spot of miserable season, Coutinho has truly arrived as one of the Premier League's best. Offers drive and skill from his attacking midfield position as well as an eye for goal - Reds fans should expect more of the same next year. 8.5
Getty Images
17/24 Adam Lallana
Has shown flashes but for £25m so much more was expected. Not quite a flop but the former Southampton man needs to do a lot more to justify his fee next season. 6.5
Getty Images
18/24 Jordon Ibe
In just seven Premier League starts he gave Liverpool fans a lot to look forward to. The powerful teenager was about to make the wing-back position his own before injury and he should get a big role in the team next year. 6
Getty Images
19/24 Lazar Markovic
Was bought as one for the future but a £20m winger who looks better when playing as a wing-back is quite worrying. At 21 time is on his side but he must start producing soon. 4
20/24 Raheem Sterling
Has unlimited potential but very rarely produced on the pitch this season - he only got seven goals in the Premier League. Doesn't seem like he'll be at the club next year and even if he is, will Liverpool fans forgive him? 6.5
AFP/Getty Images
21/24 STRIKERS: Fabio Borini
Not good enough for Liverpool. At all. He cost £10.5m and has scored three league goals since 2012. 2
Getty Images
22/24 Rickie Lambert
Was seen as a no-risk back-up option when he was the toast of England last season. That was before Sturridge got injured and Balotelli delivered nothing. 3
23/24 Mario Balotelli
A £16m gamble that completely back-fired. One goal and numerous off-field antics later, Balotelli doesn't have a future at the club. 1
24/24 Daniel Sturridge
Liverpool's season went down the pan with Sturridge's injury and got even worse with his numerous problems thereafter. Needs to bounce back next year. 3
Getty Images
"Most of all it is important to be at a good club where people believe in you and where you feel good and at Liverpool I had a really good feeling and they have experience of working with young players.
"The important thing is that I work hard and then I think everything will be okay."

So on Saturday, March 12 I performed some uh ... impromptu bodywork customizations on my bike. I'm thinking I would like to reverse those modifications. Can anyone recommend somewhere in or around Victoria that might be able to repair a hole in and some scrapes on my left side cowl? Anyone who could repair a chunk scraped off my rear cowl? Do a decent paint job over some minor scratches on the front one?
Can anyone recommend a source for (undamaged) salvage parts? How about aftermarket parts (at least for the rear cowl)?
I need the following major parts (to varying degrees), and would appreciate any advice on finding cost effective replacements or getting repairs done:
- left side turn signal
- left side mirror housing
- left side engine / compressor cover
- left side cowl
- rear cowl
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Prologue: AnneMature
Anne needs to get married or else she will get fired from her job, Jason needs to get a wife so then he will receive a huge inheritance from his grandmother. They both have to present their husband and wife for his annual family reunion and her company Christmas party. The reason why he chose Anne as his wife is because she vowed never to fall in love, she like he had when he had his heart broken. They both vowed never to fall in love but fate has different plans in mind.
Prologue: Anne
Where is Gabe? It's our wedding rehearsal, I think that I saw him come but then where is he? I see Jessica my maid of honor and best friend, I walk over to her and ask "Jess, do you know where Gabe is? I can't see him anywhere?" I start panicking, and fidgeting worried that maybe he got into an accident?
"Take a deep breath Anna inhale, exhale" I do then she asks "are you more relaxed now?" I nod "Gabriel is upstairs in room 405. Do you have the key?" she asked. "Yeah I do, I will go check up on him, I will be right back" I left the party room and took the elevator to the fourth floor.
I got to the fourth floor and it took me a while to find the room, I have a horrible sense of direction. I knocked on the door there was no response, I put the key card in the SLOT. Green I can go in as I OPENED the door, as I turn the knob I had a feeling something was going to happen.
I opened the door and I saw the worst thing imaginable.
"Gabe" I managed to whisper they didn't hear me they were too BUSY. Yeah, having sex behind my back. I slammed my fist to the door, they both turned to see what had happened, and the person who was with him was, was my sister. At that instant, tore my heart from my body and I couldn't breathe.
My body froze my sister and my fiancée, no let me fix that ex-fiancée. I did my best to show them that what they were doing wasn't tearing me to pieces like it was.
I smiled at them and said "sorry to interrupt you," Gabe's face was in utter shock. I guess he wasn't expecting to get caught. He then went to grab his clothing. I left closing the door behind me using all my willpower not to slam the door, I heard Gabe scream behind me "Annie" my nickname. He no longer has the right to call me anything I am no longer anything of his.
I ignored him, and I got on the elevator as quickly as possible once the doors closed I fell to the ground and began crying I scrabbled to find my phone, I texted Jess 'Announce that the wedding is cancelled.'
I couldn't bear to see anyone now it was too painful. A question I was asking myself was why? Why did they do that?
Receive a quick reply back from Jess 'WHY ANNIE? WHATS WRONG? WHO DO I KILL?' her last comment makes me smile she should kill Gabe but he's not worth it. I messaged her back 'Tell you back at my apartment, please tell everyone and don't kill anyone.' Her comment was kind although a bit drastic but I understand how a woman would want revenge.
I got into MY CAR, and drove to my St.Clair apartment but before I drove to a nearby supermarket I bought chocolates and ice cream. Shortly after I got home, Jess came she saw they bag and said "why are you destroying yourself?"
"I am not destroying myself, I am helping myself to the joys of life its making me feel less miserable would you like a spoonful or mouthful of happiness?" I ask, knowing Jess she would have a bit. "You know I would" and grabs a spoon and smiles at me. Her loving smile gives me a good sense of comfort. Tears unknowingly stream down my face I begin to become aware of them as one touches my lip and I taste the salty taste of the tear.
I told her what had happened and she told me that if I gave her permission she would make sure that he would no longer be able to enjoy his special part.
Jess was by my side all night and we watched sad love movies. She really cheered me up, and she gave me an idea that both of us go on the honeymoon trip Gabe and me where suppose to take. And we did.
I learned a lesson that day and it was to never fall in love AGAIN because it hurts.
