Hawick library is really impressive – a stately and roomy Victorian building with arches and stained glass. I was delighted to see there was a separate children's room, instead of the children being squeezed into a section of the adult area. We were welcomed with a lovely collage display of my books, and there was also some wonderful jungle scenery made by the two schools performing to us. The first of these was Stirches Primary, who did Party Animals.
They sat in a circle and took turns to come into the middle for various dances and actions – a very animated performance. The sound effects were really excellent, specially when several of the children took turns to tap out rhythms on the floor with some special sticks called "boom whackers". All this plus a giant snake and a pink guitar!
The other children were from Trinity Primary and they acted Monkey Puzzle, cleverly creating parts for everyone by adding extra butterflies (in the book there is only one) and using multiple narrators. It rattled along and was obviously very well rehearsed. And there were some lovely tree costumes – green tunics and headbands decorated with leaves.
We acted Room on the Broom with a very sweet boy being the cat. He also turned out to be an ace mathematician – working out in a flash during Question Time that if I'd started writing books in 1993 that I'd been an author for nineteen years. We also did Paula the Vet which always goes down well, specially the dragon chase at the end, and we sang the "Ball of Pastry" song and "Use Your Arms".
Our final library on the Scottish leg of the tour was Castle Douglas, where we were in a lovely upstairs area with a wrought-iron balcony overlooking the rest of the library. Here we had just one class, from Tweedbank Primary. It was nice having a smaller number of children and it meant that everyone who wanted to could have a little part to act or could get to ask a question. They performed Little Polar Bear which was the most adventurous story so far, about a polar bear travelling to the tropics and back again. There was some great scenery, depicting the different landscapes, some good miming, and effective sound effects such as the children drumming their hands on the floor to represent rain. We had time for more of our own stories and songs than usual, fitting in Monkey Puzzle, Freddie and the Fairy , the Walking the Dog poem, and two songs: "Under the Water" and "Splash and Squelch".
Back home alone (Malcolm has gone to Germany for a medical conference) I feel exhausted but very happy about how the Scottish tour has gone. Everywhere we have been given a huge welcome, and the anticipation and enthusiasm of the children has been a real joy. There have been funny moments too, specially when I ask them to guess what is in my flat maroon box (it actually contains my Children's Laureate medal). Often they say "A book" but one child guessed "A Gruffalo" and another "A sandwich".
Alas, it's all over ... This tour has really opened my eyes to the opportunities and possibility of doing more work in libraries. Scottish Book Trust are keen to do more to facilitate the relationship between schools and libraries – and I'm interested to see what we can do after this tour. It was wonderful to see pupils getting excited about their own performances, and most of the schools have (or will) perform their picture book play at a school assembly. That means the performances we enjoyed are just a part of the greater learning the pupils are doing in their schools. Great stuff! And finally, after seeing thousands of miles of Scotland, Beth has decided that, in fact, she really likes her flat in Edinburgh the most and has decided not to move after all.

Villa Boreas is a traditional Cretan villa with stone walls and exposed wooden beams, and with the conveniences you expect from a luxurious property. Lying just outside the village of Kefalas with it's Tavernas and convenience store, villa Boreas is set amidst hillside grazing and olive trees and offers a peaceful, rural family holiday location. Built into the hillside Villa Boreas has magnificent views of the sea to the front, and headlands to both sides. Designed and furnished to very high standards the main living areas are on the top floor to maximise the views. From the lounge and kitchen areas there is access to an extensive covered balcony terrace for al-fresco dining. The balcony terrace leads to the main garden area, with flowers beds and a further large outdoor dining area for those family bbqs. A further short flight of steps down is the private pool with outside shower area. Complete with four comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms villa Boreas is ideal for relaxing family holidays
Thanks for a lovely time in the villa, the children really appreciated the Dvds and games to play and we had a lovely relaxing holiday. See you next year.
excellent villa we enjoyed our stay lovely views and pool.
This is a fantastic villa, well maintained and lovely gardens. The views are breathtaking. The villa is well equipped. There are plenty of books, games & DVDs. Initially we wondered why anyone would watch a film on holiday but this proved a brilliant distraction to keep the children out of the sun in the hottest part of the day. Saying that there are plenty of places to cool down.
We were two families with 8 in total & felt there was plenty of space in particular downstairs where the bedrooms are. It was really easy to sleep as it was so much cooler downstairs but the air conditioning quickly cooled a room.
Kefalas is a lovely little village. It wasn't far to walk to , quite a bit of hill to begin but then a nice meander to the square, perhaps a 10 minute walk maybe slightly more.
It's a great base to explore the area, and at the end of a busy day it was lovely to retire back to the villa.
We can't rate this villa enough, we loved it. We only wish we had another week there.
Nous avons passé une semaine dans la villa. Celle-ci est situé sur un promontoire à environ 600 mètres d'altitude. Les plages sont environ à 5 km de la villa (10-15 minutes d'auto).
La vue sur la mer de la terrasse est fantastique. Tous les équipements fonctionnaient bien (air climatisé, piscine, cuisine...) seulement la télévision n'était pas complètement fonctionnelle.. (on a pas réussi à la faire fonctionner).
Kefalas est un très petit village. Les routes sont étroites. La taverne du village est très sympathique.
We enjoyed our stay in Villa Boreas. Everything is like the advertising, beautiful!
Thank you.
The villa has a very nice kitchen/sitting area that makes the stay very comfortable. There are enough beds to easily sleep 8.
The location is perfect for exploring all of western Crete. A short drive down out of the winding hillside gets you on the National Road within minutes. Once on the National Road, you can be anywhere in the west of Crete within a few hours. So many places to visit, so little time.
The Villa has a great terrace for evening sitting. The pool is wonderful after a day of sightseeing. There is enough room available that an extended party can spread out and not be in each others way.
If you have the time, ( you will definetely want to spend more than a few days), and an auto, this is a great location, a wonderful villa, and a charming base for exploring.
We showed pictures to our friends and family and they are now interested in staying at the villa. That is a true test of good tourism. If your relatives wish to follow and stay in the same place, it must be a very good location.
This is a definite high praise recommendation for a future stay at this villa.
We stayed in the villa in the 2nd half of June. 2 families with kids aged between 7 and 13. The layout of the villa is very practical with bedrooms on the ground floor seperated from the living area upstairs. The villa is well built, lots of nice details in the interior. Decent quality furniture. Great, large terrace with beautiful views. The cleaning team arrived every 4th day. They focused on the bedrooms and the bathroom. We had to do the cleaning ourselves upstairs during the 2 weeks. Kefalas is a 10 min walk. There are 3 restaurants and 2 shops. We tried 2 of the restaurants, both of them had good Cretan food at great value and very friendly staff. We rented 2 cars and travelled to lots of places on the island. We had a great holiday.
We want to thank you for the excellent villa we were able to hire from you. Everything in villa Boreas was in top condition. We really did not miss anything. Our compliments for the service and all the things that was
thought about: the DVD films, CD's, barbeque, the bottle of wine in the fridge, the tourist information, etc. We will really recommend your house to relatives and friends who want to visit Crete. The relaxing atmosphere, the unbelievable view over the Mediterranean Sea and the fact that you only hear birds and nothing else is breathtaking. We visited a lot of places such as, Knossos, Aptera, the
Samaria Gorge, the city Chania. Everything was as you described in the ad. Our rating is a "full 10"
For those wishing to venture further afield, the villa is a 10 minute walk from the local 'Inka' mini mart in the small village of Kefalas, and a short drive (7km) from the beach resorts of both Almirida to the north and Georgioupoli to the south, with their long sandy beaches, shops and Tavernas where you can eat a mixture of traditional and European food. Chania with it's Venetian Harbour and extensive shopping is 30kms away, and can offer fishing, diving and other excursions, and the famous White Mountains and Samaria Gorge are also within an easy drive of the villa.

Washington, Feb 3 : An International team of scientists have established a unique astronomical observatory at Dome Argus (Dome A), the highest point of the Antarctic Plateau, from where new insights into the universe can be made.
The expedition team, which has scientists from six international institutions, was led by the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC), which completed installation work on the revolutionary fully robotic observatory dubbed as PLATeau Observatory or PLATO.
According to Texas A and M astrophysicist Dr. Lifan Wang, the observatory will result in new insights into the universe once possible only from space.
"Dome A is believed to be the best site for ground-based astronomy," explains Wang, one of the leaders of the scientific planning phase of the expedition.
"Unlike the stormy Antarctic coast, the plateau is a very quiet place with very low wind speed. It is the coldest and driest place on Earth. These are critical conditions of a good site at which to build an observatory," he added.
According to Wang, this permanent facility marks the culmination of centuries of effort to find the best location on the planet from which to observe the universe.
"With a telescope at Dome A, it is possible to achieve near-space quality images at a much lower cost than launching a telescope into space," he said.
Built by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, PLATO is designed to operate autonomously for up to 12 months at a time while sending back data via the Iridium satellite network.
Powered by an array of solar panels during summer and small, high-efficiency diesel engines through the darkest winter months, it will be efficient as well as environmentally friendly, according to its developers.
"By minimizing the need for human support, robotic facilities such as PLATO will play an important role in the future of Antarctic research," said UNSW's Dr. Jon Lawrence, who led PLATO's development.
A global team of scientists will be contributing PLATO's instruments as part of the 2007-2008 International Polar Year that will see thousands of scientists from more than 60 nations conducting 200 projects examining a range of physical, biological and social research topics.
PLATO's site-testing instruments include cameras that will measure the darkness of the sky, an acoustic radar to measure atmospheric turbulence and a monitor for very short microwave astronomy.

Don't be evil. That's Google's official motto. But what's really going on behind that simple little search box? Wired's Steven Levy guides us through a history of the rise of the internet, the development of complicated search algorithms, and, in many ways, a who's who of Silicon Valley all beautifully narrated by L.J. Ganser.
What started as two geeks obsessed with improving internet search engines rapidly ballooned into a company eager to gobble up other useful startups (Keyhole Inc., YouTube, Picassa) as well as larger, more obviously valuable companies (most notably the marketing goliath, DoubleClick). Google's strategy has also been a game-changer in regards to the way we use data and cloud computing. Thanks to its highly lucrative AdWords and AdSense programs, the company exploded the way people think about the internet and the way people think about making money on the internet.
In the Plex gives listeners a real idea of what it's like to exist within the company's quirky culture. And Ganser knows when to keep it serious, but that doesn't stop him from adding just the right amount of snark to the "like" and "um"-ridden quotations from various engineer types. This edition also includes a fascinating interview between the author and early hire Marissa Mayer, the youngest woman to ever make Fortune's "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" list.
Levy dedicates a large section of the book to Google's controversial actions in China, the ultimate test of the company's "don't be evil" philosophy. Here, In the Plex takes an unexpected turn from company profile to a technology coming-of-age story for notorious "founder kids" Larry Page and Sergey Brin. How does "don't be evil" play out in a real world that is sometimes, well, evil? Results are mixed.
In addition to China, Levy touches on some of Google's failures, flubs, and flops, like the company's book scanning project and its development of Google Wave and Google Buzz. However, he seems to miss the point when he makes excuses for their inability to compete in the social space. It seems particularly obvious why a corporation completely run by data-obsessed engineers would have trouble making inroads in the world of social media, which is by nature more organic and subtle.
From the early days as a gonzo-style startup to the massive corporate giant that has quickly integrated itself into almost everything we do, this is an essential history of Google. Gina Pensiero
Few companies in history have ever been as successful and as admired as Google, the company that has transformed the Internet and become an indispensable part of our lives. How has Google done it? Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes listeners inside Google headquarters - the Googleplex - to explain how Google works.
While they were still students at Stanford, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized Internet search. They followed this brilliant innovation with another, as two of Google's earliest employees found a way to do what no one else had: make billions of dollars from Internet advertising. With this cash cow (until Google's IPO, nobody other than Google management had any idea how lucrative the company's ad business was), Google was able to expand dramatically and take on other transformative projects: more efficient data centers, open-source cell phones, free Internet video (YouTube), cloud computing, digitizing books, and much more.
The key to Google's success in all these businesses, Levy reveals, is its engineering mind-set and adoption of such Internet values as speed, openness, experimentation, and risk taking. After it's unapologetically elitist approach to hiring, Google pampers its engineers with free food and dry cleaning, on-site doctors and masseuses, and gives them all the resources they need to succeed. Even today, with a workforce of more than 23,000, Larry Page signs off on every hire.
But has Google lost its innovative edge? It stumbled badly in China. And now, with its newest initiative, social networking, Google is chasing a successful competitor for the first time. Some employees are leaving the company for smaller, nimbler start-ups. Can the company that famously decided not to be "evil" still compete?
No other book has turned Google inside out as Levy does with In the Plex.
This edition of In the Plex includes an exclusive interview with Google's Marissa Mayer, one of the company's earliest hires and most visible executives, as well as the youngest woman to ever make Fortune's "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" list. She provides a high-level insider's perspective on the company's life story, its unique hiring practices, its new social networking initiative, and more.

"Thoroughly versed in technology reporting, Wired senior writer Levy deliberates at great length about online behemoth Google and creatively documents the company's genesis from a 'feisty start-up to a market-dominating giant'.... Though the author offers plenty of well-known information, it's his catbird-seat vantage point that really gets to the good stuff. Outstanding reportage delivered in the upbeat, informative fashion for which Levy is well known." (Kirkus Reviews)
"The book, a wide-ranging history of the company from start-up to behemoth, sheds light on the biggest threats Google faces today, from the Chinese government to Facebook and privacy critics." (The New York Times)
"With a commanding voice, L.J. Ganser narrates this history and exploration of Google….Ganser's stern voice is clear and moves through the text with determination." (AudioFile)
"Audio delivers on its pubishers summary"
Excellent audio that held my attention the whole way through. I liked that it was not a puff piece and got a true look from a business perspective at where Google started and what they have succeeded and failed at.
"Don't Be Evil*"
Interesting, amazing and disturbing. It's great American entrepreneurial tale, but in the back of my mind I couldn't escape the realization that the core of their business is selling ads. Billions of dollars in ads, and said billions they spend like drunken sailors.
Barbarians at the Gate, because that book features a similar value toward large sums of money and the desire to own everything.
Neutral, bland and unexciting. There were a few pronunciation curiosities... "DEC" is usually pronounced "Deck," and to the best of my knowledge, "Vista" in "Alta Vista" is not pronounced "Vee-stuh." Small quibbles, though.
It's worse than you think.
I enjoy Steven Levy's books. Hackers is one of my all-time favorites. BUT it's clear that the cost of the level of access to Google that Levy was granted came at a cost of objectivity. Still, it's an interesting story.
"The guys who helped shape the data-driven world"
Since the advent of the Internet, it was probably a matter of time that the society became more data-driven. But the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, definitely pushed this process forward like no other people could. As mentioned in the book, this probably had to do with the fact that both guys happened to be educated in Montessori schools (which encourage students to question the authority and follow one's own quest) earlier in their lives. The book provides a fair assessment of how they evolved as Google became a big company, and yet they tried to retain their original goals. Google tends to be criticized for their invasion of privacies, and I admit that I also always felt nervous about what data they were collecting and how they were using them. But after listening to this book, at least I understand their original intentions and appreciate what they have done to a large extent. I thought the book was a bit too long (nearly 20 hours) - perhaps the author could have delivered the same information with a 2/3 of the length. The narrator was very good.
"What would we do without Google?"
This is great read on the history of Google, it's founders (Larry Page and Sergey Brin), and search technology. In the early days of the internet if you had typed in "newspaper," you would not have gotten "New York Times" or "LA Times" because they didn't have "newspaper" in its title. You had to know exactly what key words would generate the results you wanted. It's amazing to think how far search engines have come -- as you type, they predict what you want and populate key words for you. It is due to Google's extreme focus on technology and goals (speed, measurement, refinement, and openness). And there are many more amazing Google technologies that work seamlessly into our lives, which I have forgotten about -- Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Translate....
There is a lot of reference to "Googley" people and culture and the company's motto of "don't be evil." I think some readers will find it as a bias towards Google. I think it simply describes a workforce obsessively dedicated to doing what they love. For example, many might argue that Google's entry into China was a major stumble and the book doesn't place much accountability on the executives of Google. I think it was daring that Google did that. Selling technology in China is a high-risk proposition. Corruption and copyright infringements turn many companies away from China. Google had to know failure was very likely. Google took a chance to do something for the people of China. Although they censored results as required by the Chinese government, the users were informed on the page whenever results were censored. It was a small step... but an important step to reflect the value of openness -- the Chinese people were told when they weren't getting everything they wanted to see because the government was censoring it.
I love learning, teaching, and exploring!
"Google lover"
I love Google and Google products so this book enjoyable listening for me. It was informative to learn about the ideas and people behind the products that I love to use, but also interesting to learn more about some of the controversial practices used by Google. Everything from hiring practices, to the concept of page rank, and the China decision was covered. It might come across as a little bit pro-Google to those who are not Google fans, but I didn't mind.
"Quite a Contrast to 'Jobs'"
I found this book a very informative and educational narrative and history of Google, about which I knew little. I remember the old days of "Webcrawler" and "Excite" as primitive search-engines, and how Google emerged as the best and dominant player. The expansion of the company after that into translation, mapping, images, advertising, telephony, operating systems and Internet browsers was fascinating. Having listened to the very long book "Jobs" last year, elevating as a visionary and Captain of Industry a micro-manager who obsessed on the inside cases of his gadgets, and demeaned and humiliated his troops, and in some cases cheated them out of equity, the culture at Google couldn't be more different. It's collaborative, people are encouraged to innovate and march to their own drummer, and new thinking takes place continuously by very bright people. The author, a Wall Street Journal reporter, is slanted in favor of Google, but I learned a lot about the company and really enjoyed the book.
The dilemma Google faced when it decided to enter the Chinese market. Burdened by the company's slogan "Do Not Be Evil," it was confronted by government demands to censor its search results. As the price of doing business in China, and competing with Baidu, it capitulated. Google was excoriated for this in the press and in the halls of Congress. Later, after the Chinese government hacked into Google's email system, found communications among dissidents and arrested them, Google said "enough" and pulled out.
"Don't Be Evil"
The book lags a bit at the very end.
"Worth more than you think"
I started this book only mildly interested and ended with an example of how to build a new world. I could have used a lot more detail on the technical aspects of this story: page rank, server clusters, etc.; and less of the internal politics and business models. But the message which was repeated throughout this story was "change the world for the better and let the algorithms do the heavy lifting". It is almost curious that such a bunch of technonerds could make such a profound humanitarian statement, but that is Steven Levy's genius for detail as much as anything purposely done of the principals in this story. Ganser did a superb narration job. If we are lucky this will be the first volume with another installment in 20 or so years. Spolier Alert: Paleonerds will really enjoy this tale. For all others, proceed with caution.
"The Definitive Book on Google"
This book is way better than "What Would Google Do". I particularly like the sections that talked about Google's data centers: the machines they use, the cooling systems, the locations, etc. Techies and non-techies will get enjoyment out of this book.
l'enfer c'est les autres
"Everything I knew about Google was wrong"
Everything I thought I knew about Google was wrong. I have a whole new understanding and, yes, an appreciation for the success of Google. Google was much more than just a good search engine. They knew how to take that product and leverage it to make money. The author really lets you feel like your inside the company and understand how they succeeded. A very fun and eye opening read.
"Google Puff Piece"
This is not all an objective treatment. However, even with the author's reverence for the
Yes and no: it's competent but nearly hagiographic. VERY few opposing viewpoints. I would bet that Google traded access for guaranteed favorable treatment.
Outstanding narration.
The author would have been well-served to leave out the Obama-centric chapters near the end of the book. They add very little and sound too much like mainstream Obama puffery: according to Levy, the President's main problem is just being too darn rational.... Yeah, right.
"Great listen"
This is a good listen if you're interested in Google and Silicon Valley in general. A good accompaniment to Jobs autobiography I think.
The narrator took a bit to get used to but in the end I found it easy to listen to him.
"Lots of lessons for young entrepreneurs"
I loved this book. It showed how seemingly small decisions made when starting up a company can shape its whole culture and direction. And how this is challenged when they try to become a 'big' company. Well researched, and excellent narration. Recommended.
"Information giant that changed the world"
I can't praise this book enough. I am not knowledgable with technology but use a mobile and laptop nd regularly use google. I found this book very informative and easy to understand. The language used makes it accessible to the non techy reader or listener, but is not so simplistic as to be ptronising. This book takes the listener through the history of google from ist formation to the present and gives some background to the founders which I felt helped me to understand the concept behind the company. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about the digital age we have come into, whether you are an older person with little understanding of technology but an interest in it, or whether you are a younger person who may use technology without realising that you are doing so. I particularly recommend this book to young people thinking of some sort of technology based university course or career. For me this book has unlocked some of the mysteries of how and why some of the technologys are packaged as they are, although perhaps thats because I was particularly ignorant before listening to this audio book? If so I am sure I am not the only one who suffers from that chronic condition that is ignorance. Thanks to google I am making a steady recovery. I enjoyed this book as an audio book and the narator read at a comfortable pace with a pleasant clear accent that is easy on the ear, even if the ear in question is UK rather than US. This is the sort of book that makes "Audible" worth while, because lthough the book is fairly long, and long winded at times, it is very easy to listen to and take in whilst doing chores or driving. Get this book, you can't go wrong, its really good.
An interesting and intriguing read. Good for anyone want to know more about some inner scene about the company.
"Super Read, Very Insightful"
this is a superb insight into the goings on of Google and how the worlds biggest search engine works. Its so insightful all webby type people should have a read or listen.
"Interesting facts about how Google operate"
This is a fascinating book about why Google is a good place for employees to work. As someone who isn't in the tech scene the book came as a bit of an eye opener. As a geek Disneyland, the staff work in an environment that allows them to innovate and create at a relentless pace. The audio also covers Google projects in other countries such as India. If you are a recruiter this is a book packed with insight and if you want to get a job with Google this is a good place to start. An enjoyable listen if you are active online and use search engines and would like to see the personalities behind them.
"Brilliant listen for any Google user"
Great listen for anyone who has ever used a Google product. It's amazing to see how Google grew so quickly with such a great basic idea.
"Great Story, Great Narration!"
One of the best narrators I've heard. I enjoyed listening to Google's story and how the system works. I've had my earphones on for many many hours listening to this. Finished it in 3 days, I was definitely sad when it was done, I wish it was longer.
"Great listen for any Google fan"
Well researched and well structured book. Even if you know a lot about Google there are some great insights here. recommended
Finally, the inside track to a story you already know! We've all observed the little changes to google search, and big product launches like gmail and android, but if you're like me, you didn't know the how's or the why's. Engrossing and empowering, Steven Levy did a great job with the material and I feel some of the "googleyness" he mentions rubbed off him, and now it's rubbed off on me too. Big picture, innovation, revolution, evolution... I guess this is the first book ive read that you might class as a business book, but it's more of a tale, maybe even an allegory, for making the impossible possible, using smarts to change the world, doing things better than the traditional way, and more. Loved it.

These kids look so adorable, don't they? Always smiling, naughty and full of energy.
It's unfortunate for them to suffer from dental decay and subsequent undergo dental treatment which they don't find to be so comfortable.
There are enough statistical evidence to prove that more than 50% kids suffer from early childhood caries and treatment is difficult for the age group.
How about preventing the disease? if it sounds good then that's the way to go about it.
It's the responsibility of the parents to inculcate oral hygiene habits in their kids and seek timely guidance from Dental professionals.
One has to understand and implement the preventive healthcare protocol. It will help you lead a healthy & disease free life.
Healthy Diet & Preventive Healthcare is the way to lead healthy Life!

The major averages were trading near their intraday lows in midday trade as tech stocks sold off hard.
Software-makers and biotechs weighed on the Nasdaq, which was down 0.5%. The Dow and S&P 500 were each off 0.1%. Volume was tracking lower across the board on the stock market today.
Cree (CREE) tumbled 11% to a one-year low, below 52, in massive turnover. Goldman Sachs maintained a buy rating on the company but cut its price target to 66 from 72. After-hours Tuesday, the chipmaker's Q1 earnings beat views by a penny but its sales missed.
Unisys (UIS) and VMware (VMW) were among other tech stocks sinking in heavy volume.
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) gave up 9% after its Q1 earnings and sales fell 41% and 24%, respectively, from the same year-ago quarter. The stock is 29% off its 52-week high and trading at a three-month low.
On the upside, Skechers (SKX) gapped up and leapt 6% to 39.22, its highest level in nearly four years, after its Q1 results sprinted past views late Tuesday. It was up as much as 13% in early trade. Shares are still 13% above a 34.69 buy point of a base they cleared on Feb. 13. The shoe-maker also made headlines on Monday after American Meb Keflezighi won first place in the Boston Marathon while running in sneakers from Skechers' performance line.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) gapped up and rose 5%, popping above its 50-day moving average for the first time since March 11. The server-maker late Tuesday announced fiscal Q3 sales and profit that topped forecasts, and boosted its Q4 guidance above views.
Natus Medical (BABY) also reclaimed its 50-day line as it jumped 7% in busy trade. The stock is shaping the right side of a consolidation with a potential 27.80 buy point. Before the open, the maker of newborn and infant medical gear reported better-than-expected Q1 results.

Beautiful Children - A Novel
- United States
- Mysteries & Thrillers , Fiction
- English
More informationThe New York Times bestseller by the author of the forthcoming novel Alice & Oliver | Winner of the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters | A New York Times Notable Book
"One word: bravo."-The New York Times Book Review
"Truly powerful . . . Beautiful Children dazzles its readers on almost every page. . . . [Charles Bock] knows how to tug at your heart, and he knows how to make you laugh out loud, often on the same page, sometimes in the same sentence."-Newsweek
One Saturday night in Las Vegas, twelve-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn't come home. In the aftermath of his disappearance, his mother, Lorraine, makes daily pilgrimages to her son's room and tortures herself with memories. Equally distraught, the boy's father, Lincoln, finds himself wanting to comfort his wife even as he yearns for solace, a loving touch, any kind of intimacy.
As the Ewings navigate the mystery of what's become of their son, the circumstances surrounding Newell's vanishing and other events on that same night reverberate through the lives of seemingly disconnected strangers: a comic book illustrator in town for a weekend of debauchery; a painfully shy and possibly disturbed young artist; a stripper who imagines moments from her life as if they were movie scenes; a bubbly teenage wiccan anarchist; a dangerous and scheming gutter punk; a band of misfit runaways. The people of Beautiful Children are "urban nomads," each with a past to hide and a pain to nurture, every one of them searching for salvation and barreling toward destruction, weaving their way through a neon underworld of sex, drugs, and the spinning wheels of chance.
In this masterly debut novel, Charles Bock mixes incandescent prose with devious humor to capture Las Vegas with unprecedented scope and nuance and to provide a glimpse into a microcosm of modern America. Beautiful Children is an odyssey of heartache and redemption heralding the arrival of a major new writer.
Praise for Beautiful Children

Once devices are recognised they are checked by the SW service on a regular base.
You can also plan scanning your network/ip range on a schedule base. You can configure options when you go to the 'Settings' tab and 'Network' tab as sub-tab.
You probably already have defined a scan range since your devices are discovered if I understand right.
Now scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you'll see all kind of options to schedule the scanning of your network.

Where are the nasty comments from the reFRIGHTlicans. SUrely you bums never miss an opportunity to slam the perps unless they are white. C'mon teabaggers its only HANGover county where the sleeping giant of DEATH has now be awakened.
#3 May 21, 2010
Welfare Check? No way, not in hangOVER counties squeaky clean woods.
What say ye know, taz, john, nad, abby and the rest of you idiots?
#4 May 22, 2010
Hey idiot..... maybe you should go back to school since aparently you cant speak english. This isnt ebonics 101 moron, but o yea thats right you always got welfare to fall back on... only 2 more years for the election of 2012. Goodbye socialism
#5 May 22, 2010
This was a murder. You guys act as if y'all are talking about a sports game or an election. All of you need to have A little respect.

You speak and write ebonics also, how else can you figure out what was said. I doubt very seriously that you are a highly educated english muffin.
#7 May 22, 2010
Don't be offended, FLEAHEAD often refers to men as a MUFFIN??? Part of that whole GAY/MUSLIM on a MOPED thing.
#8 May 22, 2010
You want to know what is wrong with society today? Just the fact that there's a story about an innocent woman, whom I personally knew, and this inconsiderate low-life (directed towards 'not a teahead') wants to make snide remarks about her death and how she couldn't have received a welfare check if she lived in Hanover??? How disrespecful can one be?? Get a life buddy. I hope no one talks about any of your deceased relatives like that...
#9 May 22, 2010
I responded in a way where some posters on here always make fun of how the welfare mothers in the city of richmond get a check. I'm willing to bet you've made some of those same negative remarks also. Don't put a twist in your pants, i'm not hating on the deceased. You get a life and watch how you look down your nose at others. Good day!!
#10 May 22, 2010
Thead...you really are a disgusting individual. You need to save your constant irrational rants for your Bible study group. Perhaps they'll pray for you and lift you to the Lord.
#11 May 22, 2010
My thoughts included people like you abby, you are one of the haters of as y'all say "wefare queens." You haters don't need a lift, i pushed the button that has an "H" on it.
#12 May 23, 2010
Truly you should be ashamed of your comments you have posted about anything other than this lady's death! It is not for any of us to pass judgement on others for what they have or have not for you too will one day be judged yourself! I worked my whole life in places dealing with people like you until I was diagnosed with a brain tumor n cannot work! I get a government check, YES and I earned it everyday I went to work. Now please bite your tongue and honor the deceased! You wouldn't want people talking this garbage to your mother would you? Also, my sincerest apologies and prayers to all her family for she truly is in a better place and you will see her again in time.
#13 May 23, 2010
Your comments should be directed elsewhere, i'm not making hay over her death, i simply want people to understand that hateful comments directed at others only returns to sit on their porches. Where is the outrage over her abusive guy-pals behavior. YOu teabaggers don't want to say anything about him b/c he is white. Bunch of HYPOCRITES.
#14 Jun 1, 2010
"welfare check" in this case means that the police went to check on the lady to see if she was o.k. after they received a call about her. This has nothing to do with her receiving a welfare check from the government.
#15 Jun 2, 2010
You must've been sniffing too many nachos, its warped you capacity to understand simple stuff.
#16 Jun 4, 2010
Screw you lot of idiots. Some of us knew this nice lady and are deeply saddened at her passing. Inconsiderate moron. Thanks to those who told this prick to shut it.
#17 Jun 5, 2010
Just b/c some simple-minded person told "this prick" to shut up doesn't mean he will shut up.

It all got a bit boring for Jasper Cillessen in last nights 3rd place World Cup game between Brazil and Holland.
While Brazil were hoping to salvage some pride in their home country, the Netherlands shot stopper was getting achey legs, spotted sitting down against the post midway through the game.
Home fans were left booing as Holland cruised to a 3-0 victory and Cillessen's rest summed up Brazil's whole tournament.
And what happens in the world of social media when something significant like this happens in a football match? The following..

Sweet Little Sixteen
This is a fairly straightforward, if unconventional classroom romance. Regardless of what you think of it, I want you to take it in absolutely any direction that appeals to you!
They told me her father was in the navy. It made perfect sense to me; she had drifted in on the tide to torment me with her soft sea-glass eyes.
She joined the school a few weeks into the year. Didn't draw much attention to herself. Just sat in the back of the classroom and doodled in her exercise book. Scrawled her name in the margins of my heart.
I did everything I could to focus. But then she would smile and I'd go insane.
I was almost jealous; she had achieved perfection at the age of sixteen. She transcended her surroundings, was out of place in one of the most notorious 'problem schools' in the country.
She read it aloud one lesson: 'So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows/As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows'. But what was I to her? Nothing. Worse than nothing: to her, I could only ever be Miss Poole, her English teacher.

Schumer says as more chemicals are used in construction materials and in furniture, firefighters are coming down with cancer at a much higher rate than the general population because they are breathing in the dangerous smoke. Stamford gets $2.1M to balance its year-end books in late request By Kaomi Goetz • Jun 25, 2014 The Stamford Board of Finance voted 5-1 Tuesday night to approve an 11th-hour appropriation for $2.1M for a projected shortfall in several departments including police and fire.

Utah State volleyball will host Fresno State on Saturday, Nov. 16 in a key Mountain West Conference showdown with second-place in the league standings on the line. First serve from the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum is slated for 7 p.m. at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
USU improved to 17-9 overall and 10-5 in Mountain West action with a 3-0 sweep over San José State Thursday night, the Aggies' fifth win in their last six matches at home. Utah State's 10-5 MW ledger moves them into a tie for third-place in the league standings with New Mexico, who slid from a second-place tie with Fresno State, USU's opponent Saturday, after UNM fell to 10-5 with a 3-1 loss at league-leader and 10th-ranked Colorado State Thursday night. Fresno State improved to 20-5 overall and 11-4 in MW play with a 3-1 win at Boise State Thursday. The Bulldogs took over sole possession of second-place in the MW standings, setting up a showdown Saturday night between the Aggies and Bulldogs with second-place on the line.

Despite a season-high 34 block assists, Utah State volleyball dropped its first Mountain West match in a tightly-contested battle with Fresno State, 3-1 (26-28, 25-19, 24-26, 24-26), at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., Thursday night.
Leading the Aggies' charge Thursday night was junior outside hitter Rachel Orr (Thatcher, Ariz.) with 12 kills, hitting .364 (12-4-22), while sophomore opposite side hitter Elle Brainard (Saratoga Springs, Utah) logged 11 kills hitting at a .556 (11-1-18) clip. Junior outside hitter Tumua Etimani (Richardson, Texas) added 10 kills on a .296 (10-2-27) attack percentage, while junior middle blocker Kaitlyn VanHoff (Draper, Utah) posted eight kills on a .333 (8-4-12) hitting percentage. Senior middle blocker Alyssa Everett (Perry, Utah) was a perfect 1.000 with three kills in three attempts, while junior setter Paige Neves (Otto, Wyo.) notched four kills on a .667 attack percentage (4-0-6).
Fresno State battled to a hard-fought, 3-1, win at Boise State Thursday night, dropping the first set, 25-23, before bouncing back to tack set two, 25-17, and the third set, 25-20, then fighting back from down 23-19 in the fourth set to rally for a 26-24 win to take the set and the match.
Senior outside hitter Korrin Wild leads the Bulldogs with 3.82 kills per set, while fellow senior outside hitter Marissa Brand added 3.13 kps. Junior middle blocker Maci Murdock leads FS with 0.84 blocks per set, while freshman defensive specialist Maggie Eppright posts a squad-best 3.45 digs per set. Junior setter/libero Christina Lee dishes out a team-leading 7.88 assists per set and senior right side hitter Holly Franks tops the team with 0.34 service aces per set.

Disney Channel Universe
512pages onAdd New Page

this wiki
The Disney Channel Universe, also known as the Disney Channel Multiverse, is the name given to the universe where multiple Disney Channel shows exist in, caused by crossovers. As of 2015, most of Disney Channel's original shows exist in the same universe. Due to the nature of Girl Meets World being a canonical spinoff of Boy Meets World, a few ABC shows now share the same universe as well.
- A.N.T Farm
- Austin & Ally
- Best Friends Whenever
- Boy Meets World
- Bunk'd
- Cory in the House
- Girl Meets World
- Good Luck Charlie
- Hannah Montana
- I Didn't Do It
- I'm with the Band
- Jessie
- K.C Undercover
- Liv & Maddie
- Sabrina the Teenage Witch
- Shake It Up!
- Teen Angel
- That's So Raven
- The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
- The Suite Life on Deck
- Wizards of Waverly Place
- You Wish
- Due to the nature of crossovers, multiple characters played by the same character now exist in the shared Disney Channel Universe;
- Selena Gomez played Mikayla, a rival of Hannah Montana, in Hannah Montana. She also played Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.
- David Henrie, who played Justin Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place, also had a minor recurring role earlier on That's So Raven, playing Cory Baxter's best friend.
- Debby Ryan, who played Bailey Pickett in The Suite Life on Deck, also plays Jessie on Jessie. The two shows were merged into one universe when Marion Moseby made an appearance on Jessie and remarked upon the physical resemblance between the two. Mr. Moseby's appearance also put many of the older Disney Channel shows in the same universe as the ones airing today:
- Debby Ryan also played Aubrey, in the Girl Meets World episode "Girl Meets Demolition". As the GMW universe exists in the same universe as Austin & Ally (Riley and Maya have personally met the two, just like Jessie has), this means that Jessie & Aubrey not only exist in the same universe, but live in the same city - New York.
- Ben Savage, most famous for portraying Cory Matthews in both Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, also played Andy Burns in an episode of Shake It Up!
- Maggie Wheeler had a role in Shake It Up!. She also played the fortune teller in the Halloween Spooktacular episode of I Didn't Do It!
- Uriah Shelton, who plays Joshua Matthews on Girl Meets World, also played a young prince on an episode of The Suite Life on Deck. However, as he was a child then and looked different, it is not much of an inconsistency; especially when one considers the fact that the two shows were not originally meant to share the same universe.
- Annaliese van der Pol, who played Chelsea on That's So Raven, also had an appearance on Shake It Up!
- Steve Valentine, a main character in the Disney XD show I'm With The Band, also played the primary antagonist in the Wizards of Waverly Place Movie.
- Sabrina Carpenter, who plays Maya Hart on Girl Meets World, also played a character on Austin & Ally. Both her characters have also met Austin & Ally face to face, yet the pair don't remark on the similarities.
- Peyton List plays Emma Ross on Jessie; she also played Sherri on I Didn't Do It!.
- Piper Curda, portrayed Kennedy Van Buren/Kumiko Hashimoto (daughter of Hashimoto, a character from Suite Life) in A.N.T Farm, portrays Jasmine in I Didn't Do It!
- Both of Zendaya's main roles on Disney Channel (Rocky Blue from Shake It Up! and K.C. Cooper from K.C Undercover) also share the same universe.
- This is because Shake It Up! has crossed over with Good Luck Charlie, which has crossed over with Jessie, which has crossed over with Austin & Ally, which has crossed over with K.C Undercover.
- Some characters featured in two shows, not including crossovers:
- Hashimoto, who appeared in the Suite Life On Deck episode Trouble in Tokyo becomes a recurring character in A.N.T. Farm
- Marion Moseby of Suite Life appeared in one episode of Jessie.
- Who the president is give a lot of inconsistency, as in some shows (especially those that take place after 2008), it is Obama, while in others, it is someone unknown:
- In one K.C. Undercover episode, K.C. had to protect the president's daughter, who doesn't look like anyone related to Obama.

Phase III Trial Finds Pfizer's Axitinib Better than Sorafenib at Boosting PFS in Renal Cell Cancer
Pfizer reported positive data from a Phase III study comparing its VEGF receptor inhibitor axitinib with sorafenib therapy, in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma whose disease had progressed after prior therapy with sunitinib (Pfizer's Sutent®), cytokines, bevacizumab, or temsirolimus (Pfizer's Torisel®). The firm says it is now working with regulatory authorities globally with respect to filing submissions for axitinib.
The Phase III Axis 1032 study included 723 patients, who were randomized to receive either axitinib or sorafenib twice daily. 54% of patients had previously been treated using sunitinib-containing regimens, and 35% had received prior cytokine-based therapy. The results showed that compared with sorafenib therapy, axitinib increased median progression-free survival time by 43% among the overall patient population, from 4.7 months to 6.7 months (maximum 8.6 months). Importantly, benefits of the drug were evident in patients who had previously been treated with cytokines or sunitinib, Pfizer notes.
In previously cytokine-treated patients, axitinib therapy led to a median progression-free survival of 12.1 months, compared with 6.5 months for the sorafenib group. Among previously sunitinib-treated patients, progression-free survival was 4.8 months for those moved on to axitinib therapy, compared with 3.4 months for those given sorafenib. Secondary trial endpoints showed that the independently assessed objective response rate was 19.4% among the overall axitinib patient cohort, compared with 9.4% for the sorafenib cohort.
Axitinib is separately being evaluated in a Phase III study in patients with treatment-naive renal cell carcinoma, and in Phase II studies against hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer.
Sutent is currently approved for the treatment of advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In Europe the drug achieved sales of just under $1.1 billion in 2010, up 11% on 2010 figures.

A man who thinks he lost a winning Euromillions lottery ticket worth £1m says his life has been ruined.
Ian Galtress, an engineer from Wirral in Merseyside, bought two tickets for the draw, one for himself and one for his girlfriend.
His girlfriend's ticket was just one digit away from matching a raffle code that would have won £1m - but he lost the other ticket, which he thinks would have been the winner.
He watched in horror as lottery organisers Camelot appealed for a missing winner in the Wirral area, and ever since has been overrun with anxiety over what he could have lost.
To win a Euromillions Raffle draw entrants have to defy estimated odds of 9.2m–to –one by matching a randomly generated code at the bottom of each Euromillions ticket.
The winner is guaranteed £1m, regardless of whether they win or lose in the main draw.
Unlucky Ian knows the ticket he bought for the July 27, 2012 draw and gave to his girlfriend was just the final digit away from scooping the prize.
Believing the numbers are sequential – meaning there is a chance his number was just a single digit off his girlfriend's – he has spent the last 20 months living with the fact he may have thrown away £1m.
The 41-year-old told the Liverpool Echo : "It's ruined my life. I've lost lots of weight. I'm not sleeping because of the anxiety in me.
"I've got this permanent feeling of anxiety and nervousness in my stomach – I just can't switch off.
"I feel like I have been ripped off, robbed, or kicked to the curb. I just want to rebuild my life."
The money would be enough to buy a season ticket at Tranmere Rovers for the next 2,873 years, spend almost a decade in a luxury double room at Wirral's Hillbark Hotel, or buy a five-bedroom home in exclusive Caldy.
There are procedures in place through which entrants who have lost winning tickets can still claim their money.
Providing the claimant can provide details of when and where they bought the ticket, and what numbers from the main Euromillions draw they chose, Camelot can release the winnings.
After 20 months of worrying about the ticket he bought in the Eastham Village area of Wirral, the numbers are etched in Ian's memory: 5, 15, 22, 31, 47. His lucky stars were 1 and 6.
Ian, who formerly worked at the Stanlow Refinery in Ellesmere Port, claimed he had passed these details onto Camelot, hoping they would be able to tell him if he was the lucky winner.
But after months of trying he said he had not received a definitive answer – fuelling his misery and uncertainty.
To make matters worse, months after the draw in question, Camelot issued public appeals revealing a winning ticket had been bought in Wirral and no-one had claimed it.
Even if Ian was a winner, the date to claim has long gone – meaning the unclaimed £1m has been donated to the National Lottery good causes fund.
But now he just wants the situation to be resolved so he can move on with his life.
He said: "All I want is a definitive answer saying it is me or not.
"That would be brilliant. I just wish it wasn't me with the trauma it has caused."
A spokeswoman for Camelot was not able to discuss Ian's case for confidentiality reasons.
She said: "While we sympathise with anyone who loses a ticket, National Lottery players are responsible for looking after their tickets – just as they would take responsibility for any other purchases they make.
"However, we always want to pay prizes out to the rightful ticket owner and so offer a service whereby we may, at our discretion, consider the validity of claims on stolen, lost or destroyed tickets – but only if the player has notified Camelot within 30 days of the draw in question."
The spokeswoman did, however, tell the Echo they would contact Ian in the coming days to give him a definitive answer and explain what checks have been made on his behalf.

Dr Dawn:
Each year in the UK there are about 1000 diagnosed cases of vulval cancer. It generally affects women after the menopause and most cases occur after the age of 65. Relative to other cancers, vulval cancer is rare but there are other vulval conditions that affect women of all ages and they are most easily, safely and successfully treated when discovered early so vulval self-examination is important.
You should be checking your vulva monthly. However, don't self-examine if you've recently had a baby, a miscarriage of any other vaginal procedure as you're open to infection. Wait until you are fully healed.
To self-examine, sit in a well-lit area that is comfortable like a bed, make sure your hands are clean and don't apply any vaginal creams before self-examining as this may interfere with your ability to detect abnormalities. Hold a mirror in one hand and use the other hand to separate and expose the parts of the vulva surrounding the opening to the vagina. Can you see OK?
Patient: Yes thank you
Dr Dawn:
First you want to check the area above the pubic bone where the pubic hair is. This is the Mons Pubis and you are looking carefully for any lumps or bumps, ulcers, warts, changes in skin colour particularly anything that is in your white area or even red or dark areas. And then you need to use your fingers to feel for any lumps that you may not be able to see, that one feels fine… And then you are going to move down to check the clitoris and the surrounding area. Now I'm moving down towards the vaginal opening and I'm checking small folds of skin to the left and right. These are the Labia Minora and after checking the small folds of skin we go to the bigger folds next to them, the Labia Majora. Moving down again we check the area between the vagina and the anus. Again you're looking and feeling and lastly check the area surrounding the anal opening as vulval disease can go down as far as that. So would you like to have a go at self-examining?
If you've noticed any lumps, are experiencing any itching or pain, feel a burning sensation when passing urine, or if you have any unusual discharge or you bleed after sex, between periods or after the menopause, make an appointment to see your doctor.
Some symptoms can be from a minor condition, but sometimes they can be indicators of something more serious so it's best to get any symptoms checked out.
There's no screening programme for vulval cancer but you should be having routine cervical smear tests so make sure you go as the nurse or doctor should examine your vulva at the same time and with you checking every month too any symptoms that occur should be detected quickly.
Don't be shy about checking your vulva. It's as important as self-examining your breasts or for a man to self-examine his testicles and if you do discover a lump or any other symptom, don't put off seeing your doctor. Untreated vulval cancer can spread but if it's caught early the better the treatment and the better the outcome.
How To Check Your Vulva
Around 1000 cases of vulval cancer are diagnosed every year in the UK, mainly in women who have been through the menopause. However, there are also a range of other vulval conditions that affect all women – highlighting how important it is to self-check your vulva. Although it may seem daunting if you haven't self-checked before, Dr Dawn Harper's guide will show you exactly how to conduct the check – so grab that mirror!

I have a small dark spot, not a bump, on thebinner side of my vagina lip. It never bothered me and its been there for awhike now. Aany clues to what this could be?
I am 17 years old with no sexual activity but I was looking at my vagina a couple weeks ago and I noticed a dark spot on the inside lips of it or I think it's called the labia.
So, I've been struggling with my boyfriend to have sex we can get it an inch or two in but struggle any further and I feel uncomfortable. I took a mirror to investigate and noticed flaps in the vagina entrance I'm not sure if these are Hymenal tags or maybe I've prolapsed (I have none of the symptoms I don't think, but maybe it could be symptomless?). Fingers and tampons are fine and I had previously had slept with someone once a year ago without problem. Is it normal to not be able to see into the vagina? Should I be worried about these flaps? Could it be psychological?
Hey I've found a lump inside my vagina it's fairly big and can be moved it kinda of feels like I'm growing a penis it hurts when it's touched it's not a std it hurts when I have sex too
You should see a gynecologists and have them take a look if you haven't already by now. This is important
Hi, I really need your help as I am struggling to find any information on the internet. Towards the left side of my clitoris its began too look bruised also when I pull my vagina up from the top you can almost see these little white milk spots, I'm getting no discomfort or anything like that I just really want to know if you know what it could be. Sorry for the information but I noticed this after I received oral sex from a male, could it just be bruising or could you tell me what it could be
Have you been checked for lichen sclerosus? Mine started that way. Other symptoms took a few weeks to kick in though.
I have whitish (looks water logged) extra skin between the vagina and the anal. can you tell me what this is?
Hi... i'm 16 um I have a lump in my vagina... a bit back... it feels like a pointed lump... and it comes and goes.. sometimes when it's gone i feel some smaller bumps around where it was... it hasn't been there for a bit... i'm not sure maybe it's my anti depressants I take... cause I hadn't taken it in a while and I took it today and that was there... or I don't know...??
I've recently found a small pea size hard lump on my right vagina lip It doesn't hurt too touch. It doesn't move either. I've checked and it looks nothing like gentian warts or a cyst etc etc.. I've tried popping it but nothing came out apart from blood as there's a nothing but another layer of skin underneath. The lump goes underneath my labia aswell...
I have whitish greyish bumps or a growth just at the opening of my vagina hole i dont know what It could be, It hurts when I pee and when I go to a number 2 sometimes you see blood on tissue.
Just where he entrance to my vagina is , I have like a little thin bit of skin going from one side of the vagina to the other, think everyone has this. However on it are some while bubbly substance. No sure what it is and really freak if our about it. It just looks like an extra bit of skin but white. Someone please help me :(

The courts begin to drive home the Jackson message - .PDF file.
In its newsflash of 27 November 2013, Hogan Lovells reported on the ground-breaking case of Mitchell v News Group Newspapers. In the Mitchell case, the Court of Appeal made clear that the Jackson regime for civil litigation had ushered in a whole new culture of conducting litigation, in which parties that failed to meet procedural deadlines or to comply with rules and court orders could henceforth expect little sympathy from the courts.
It is up to a party that has failed to comply with a rule or order to apply for 'relief against sanctions' under CPR 3.9. This rule has been strengthened under the Jackson reforms to make it more difficult to obtain relief. In Mitchell, the Court of Appeal held that from now on a sanction would be applied unless the breach of a rule or order had been trivial or there had been a 'good reason' for it (for example where a party or its solicitor had contracted a debilitating illness) and even then only if the application for relief had been made promptly.
Hogan Lovells summarises below cases where the courts have been applying the Mitchell ruling. In most cases, the judges seem to be at pains to point out that, from now on, things are going to be very different: there will be few hiding places for those who fail to comply with orders and rules…

Are good financial advisors really good? The performance of investment banks in the M&A market

The study examines whether prestigious investment banks deliver quality gains to their clients in a sample of 6,379 US M&A deals. It finds that acquirers advised by tier-one advisors lost more than $42 billion, whereas those advised by tier-two advisors gained $13.5 billion at the merger announcement. The results were mainly driven by the large loss deals advised by tier-one advisors. The evidence indicates that investment banks might have different incentives when they advise on large deals vs. small deals. The results imply that market share based reputation league tables, could be misleading and therefore, the selection of investment banks should be based on their track record in generating gains to their clients. The findings were consistent with the superior deal hypothesis as tier-one target advisors outperformed tier-two advisors and the existence of a prestigious advisor on at least one side of an M&A transaction resulted in higher wealth gains to the combined entity. Target advisors were able to extract more wealth gains for their clients, which led to higher combined gains at the expense of the acquirer.
