Hundreds of Darfuris fleeing persecution in Sudan will be given protection in Britain after a government U-turn on its handling of asylum claims brought by refugees from the troubled African state.
The change of policy follows mounting evidence that non-Arab asylum seekers returned to Sudan face arrest, torture and death at the hands of the Arab militias and security services. In one case, highlighted by The Independent earlier this year, a Darfuri man repatriated to Khartoum was executed after government officers followed him to his village in the south of the region.
Under the new policy, released without announcement on Monday by the Home Office, all non-Arab Darfuris will qualify for asylum. The decision was welcomed by the Darfuri community in the UK, many of whom have been living under the threat of deportation.
Mariam Suliman, 30, a doctor from Darfur, and her husband, Sideeq Sharaf, 32, a science student, fled the state after their village was attacked by Arab militias who were supported by the Khartoum government.
Mrs Suliman, who came to the UK in 2000, said they were delighted by the decision, saying: "It means we can be a family again." She added: "For many Darfurian victims who escaped the place of dying, and were waiting for a long time to get their refugee status, this will be a huge benefit.
"It's the end of frustration, depression, hopelessness and despair which has been [created by] the long waiting. Darfuris will be able to study and work and contribute to [the] economy and integrate to the community."
Under the new policy, asylum-seekers will be given the right to stay for up to five years, or until the political situation improves. The conflict in Darfur is regarded by the United Nations as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. It is estimated that 300,000 people have died in the conflict and more than 2.5 million have been forced to flee the region.
After monitoring the situation, the Home Office instructed its lawyers to withdraw opposition to appeals brought by all non-Arab Darfuris, who had been forced to go to court to prove that their lives would be in danger if they were sent home. A test case due to be heard later this month has been abandoned.
Louise Roland-Gosselin, group director of Waging Peace, a charity which has campaigned for more protection for the people of Darfur, said: "After years of waiting, all Darfuris in the UK who can prove their ethnicity will be given asylum status. This is likely to affect over 500 Darfuris... many of these have been waiting up to four years for a decision on their asylum status."
Khatir Kayabil, general secretary of the Darfur Union, also welcomed the decision: "So many of our members have been living in limbo for years. Now we can start to rebuild our lives here."
Matthew Coats, head of immigration at the UK Border Authority, said: "The Government takes its international responsibilities seriously and we will grant protection to those Sudanese nationals that need it. We will continue to consider each application for protection on its individual merits.
"We will always seek to remove from the UK those who do not need our protection and who have no right to remain here. We will monitor the situation in Sudan very carefully and will review our policy as and when new information becomes available."
Asylum-seekers: Campaign for justice
17 March 2009 Failed asylum-seeker Adam Osman Mohammed, 32, is deported by the UK Government and flown back to Khartoum. After leaving the airport, he is followed home to his village in the south of the region and shot in front of his family by Sudan security officials.
7 July 2008 The charity Waging Peace and The Independent highlight a secret U-turn by which the Home Office lifted the ban on returning Darfuri asylum seekers to Khartoum.
2 October 2007 At the Labour Party conference, Gordon Brown promises to stand up for those being persecuted in Burma, Darfur and Zimbabwe, saying "human rights are universal". But the Home Office continues to reject applications from refugees, becoming embroiled in protracted court battles to enable the enforced removals of both Zimbabweans and Darfuris.
13 April 2007 Human rights campaigners claim that the Home Office is collaborating with the Sudanese government to question asylum seekers fleeing the violence in Darfur.

What Killed The Mastodons?Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 12/13/2009 - 10:57
Twenty thousand years ago, North America had a more impressive array of big animals than Africa does today. The continent was populated by mastodon, several species of mammoth, giant ground sloths, saber-toothed cats and bison twice the size of their modern counterparts. By 10,000 years ago most of these animals were gone, including the 10 species that weighed more than a ton. Many drastic changes occurred during this interval, including the arrival of Homo sapiens to the new world. Many have cited humans as the cause of this great megafaunal die-off: were H. sapiens causing mass extinctions even during the stone age?
Ocean Absorption Of CO2 Not ShrinkingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 08:43
Recent claims by climate change alarmists have raised the possibility that terrestrial ecosystems and particularly the oceans have started loosing part of their ability to absorb a large proportion of man-made CO2 emissions. This is an important claim, because currently only about 40% of anthropogenic emissions stay in the atmosphere, the rest is sequestered by a number of processes on land and sea. The warning that the oceans have reached their fill and their capacity to remove atmospheric CO2 is accompanied by the prediction that this will cause greenhouse warming to accelerate in the future. A new study re-examines the available atmospheric CO2 and emissions data and concludes that the portion of CO2 absorbed by the oceans has remained constant since 1850.
Crank of the Week - December 7, 2009 - The US EPASubmitted by admin on Wed, 12/09/2009 - 15:51
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared greenhouse gases a danger to public health this week, in a move that could pave the way for future regulation. This is seen by many as a fallback move by the Obama administration in case the moribund Cap and Trade bill fails in congress. With perverse logic that could only be understood by a politician, carbon dioxide, a substance that is essential to life on Earth and to maintaining our planet's habitable ecosystem, has been lumped in with the likes of DDT and asbestos. The announcement comes on the first day of the Copenhagen climate summit and is seen by many as a sop to ecologists and global warming activists prior to President Obama's appearance at the end of the conference.
Extinction, Climate Change & Modeling MayhemSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 12/06/2009 - 12:08
Climate and environmental scientists have become dependent on computer models in recent decades. The scientific literature and the popular press are filled with strident warnings of impending natural disasters, all predicated on the output of computer programs. The IPCC has solemnly predicted that climate change will drive thousands of species to extinction if anthropogenic global warming is not reined in. The coprophagous press has uncritically swallowed these computer generated droppings, reporting conjecture as fact and possibilities as certainties. Even though the climate change faithful continue to blindly believe the IPCC predictions, at least some researchers are aware of the glaring flaws in their computer models.
Shiva The Dinosaur KillerSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 20:19
There are a number of scientists who disbelive the theory that an asteroid impact killed the dinosaurs. They point to evidence that some species of sauropod may have survived the Chicxulub impact—widely hailed as the smoking gun in the dinosaur extinction—as proof that the event was simply not big enough to be a knockout blow. Now, according to Sankar Chatterjee of Texas Tech University, new information reinforces his claim that a much larger impact that he has named Shiva, actually did the dinosaurs in.
Crank of the Week - December 1, 2009 - Joanna KrupaSubmitted by admin on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 11:17
Playboy cover girl and Dancing With the Stars competitor Joanna Krupa led a PETA protest recently outside a Los Angeles pet store that sells puppies. How can someone protest warm cuddly puppies? It seems that there are hundreds of puppies and dogs in city animal shelters and Ms Krupa considers it a crime to sell puppies when homeless dogs are available for adoption. At the protest, Krupa also unveiled a new racy campaign titled "Be an Angel for Animals."
Climategate, Copenhagen & the Collapse of Climate ChangeSubmitted by admin on Tue, 12/01/2009 - 15:47
By now, even the American mainstream media has picked up on the hacked/leaked emails from CRU that implicate many of the world's top climate change activists in a tawdry web of lies and deception. US President Obama has reversed his decision not to attend the Copenhagen climate conference in a vain attempt to buck-up his flagging green credentials. Some claim we are witnessing the collapse of the climate change scam that the perfidious UN IPCC has been running for the past two decades, but is this true? All the signs indicate that the anthropogenic global warming crowd is going to ignore Climategate and proceed with business as usual.
Frog Fatalities Not Caused By Global WarmingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sat, 11/28/2009 - 07:23
Tropical America is one of many regions that have seen significant losses of amphibian species over the past few decades. In 2004, the first global assessment of amphibians revealed that almost a third of the world's known species are threatened with extinction. Early on, experts linked the mysterious disappearance of frog species throughout Central and South America to a fungal disease that was supposedly exacerbated by global warming. Now, according to new discoveries, it looks like climate change isn't to blame after all.
All Natural, All NuclearSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 14:55
The Oklo uranium mine in Gabon contains well known evidence of natural nuclear reactors, but how widespread were they? A team of researchers has proposed a scenario to account for the disappearance of a radioactive mineral from the geological record. Part of their hypothesis is that a surge of oxygen billions of years ago caused the creation of millions of tiny nuclear reactors. If true, this primordial nuclear age could have played a role in the evolution of early life forms.
Draining Swamps To Fuel AutosSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 11:02
A report out from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting, which was held in Barcelona, identifies peaty wetlands as a major source of CO2. Marshes, swamps and bogs emit about 1.3 billion tonnes of CO2 a year as a result of human activity that drains them. If those dried out former swamps catch fire that amount can double and large amounts of aerosols can be emitted as well. With governments offering subsidies for growing biofuel crops the question is, how do we stop people from draining the world's remaining wetlands?
Global Warming Fatigue SpreadsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 10:51
In the run up to Copenhagen, global warming alarmists are spreading the word that climate change is progressing even faster than the IPCC has projected. But contradictory data from skeptics and open minded scientists continues to indicate that global warming has gone on hiatus and may not return for decades. This has sparked a noticeable drop in public concern over climate change and has led some climate change true believers to bemoan increasing public "Climate Fatigue."
Himalayan Glaciers Not MeltingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 11/13/2009 - 14:26
According to a flurry of recent reports by the BBC and other mass media, the glaciers in the Himalayan mountains are melting at a furious pace. Of course this is taken as proof that climate change is still taking place at an ever accelerating rate, despite the fact the global temperatures have remained flat for the past decade. What, then, explains the rapidly retreating Himalayan glaciers? Nothing, because the glaciers are not shrinking. A new report by a senior Indian glaciologist states that the glaciers remain frozen and quite intact, thank you.
Appalachian Mountains Rock Ice AgeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 11/12/2009 - 10:48
The Appalachian mountains are seldom mentioned among the world's great mountain ranges. Consisting mostly of low gentle ridges, when compared with the snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya, Andes, or Alps many would hesitate to call them mountains at all. But they are a large and ancient range, stretching over 1500 miles along the eastern portion of North America. The time of their formation has been dated back to the Paleozoic, with major uprisings occurring 650 million years ago. Then, about 460 million years ago, during the Ordovician period, they were the site of one of the most violent volcanic outbursts in Earth's history. New research reveals that, following that bout of vulcanism, weathering of Appalachian rock may have triggered one of Earth's major ice ages—a relatively brief frigid period that ultimately killed two-thirds of all species on the planet.
Global Warming Predictions InvalidatedSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 11/05/2009 - 12:39
A new study in the journal Science has just shown that all of the climate modeling results of the past are erroneous. The IPCC's modeling cronies have just been told that the figures used for greenhouse gas forcings are incorrect, meaning none of the model results from prior IPCC reports can be considered valid. What has caused climate scientists' assumptions to go awry? Short lived aerosol particles in the atmosphere changing how greenhouse gases react in previously unsuspected ways. The result is another devastating blow to the climate catastrophists' computer generated apocalyptic fantasies.

You can have it because I'm giving it to youMature
Dam you are always so good at making me second guess myself when I make some room to breathe. You would say I gave up. I abandoned you. I left you in the dark. Because I skipped two times I'd have seen you this week in a class I'm not enrolled in. You call me weak. No, I'm not weak.
But do you honestly think I could come to you and tell you I was going to walk away, and you'd let me? No. Because we have already established you to be the master of chains, in and out of them. I think this is manipulative. To tell me I'm giving up on a struggle is one of the deepest chords you can strum.
If you really want to pick that battle, here's my reality: It is harder to give up on you and walk away leaving the best parts of me behind for a new promise, than stay and keep my first love and comfort near.
But I'm choosing the first one because its the moral thing to do. If I stayed, I'd hurt the most people. It's selfish to keep something that shouldn't belong to me anymore. I'd deny her the best, I'd confuse you with your shitty choices, and I'd kill myself bending over backwards trying not to stab either of you, and making your nice little conscious feel better.
I'm leaving, I'm making your position a little easier. You wont have your ex girlfriend hanging around anymore, reminding you of what you don't have. My replacement wont be undermined. You can live your life free now you don't have a black cloud hovering.
And I wont feel like I still have a chance with you. It's my justice. Babe you have no idea how many times I've burst into tears because I'm ripping my own heart out for you. I feel the most abundant self hate whenever I see her and instead of being overwhelmed with admiration I'm filled with venom. I hate her now, and myself even worse for letting jealousy take my best friend away. But now, I don't have to be the villain that ripped apart a new relationship in attempt to reestablish the old.
Yes. I'm a selfish weak brat you is ruining your past and present relationships.
Luckily for you I'm solving your problems. Now heres where I get to shove it right back. If I'm so weak and lowly, stop wanting me back so badly.
And if you care about me at all, you will let me stand back on my feet again. You will stop shoving your unattainable love for me in my face. You will stop stepping on me to be with that cold reserved girl who makes you miss me, and you will stop ripping away my self esteem and shutting down all other potential happinesses.
I took a break to find me. I danced. I'm sorry you felt the need to lash out in anger because we both know its not what we want, but apparently we're not mature enough to advocate for what we truly want. Play your charades, I'm done. You're weaker than I thought.

Dear Clover,5 years ago
We have been thinking about having a child. The only problem we are having is whether we should have one and wait to buy a house or wait to buy a house and have a child. What would be the best option to choose? I really would like to have a child but I would really like to move into my own home.—anonymous

Dear anonymous,5 years ago
There's no question that a child is investment in more ways than one. I've always been an advocate of waiting to have children as long as is practical. The more you get your finances, career, etc in order the less stress you'll have and better be able to raise your children. Without knowing your situation on greater detail I would suggest buying the house first.
Dear anonymous,5 years ago
That question is as difficult as 'what came first, the chicken or the egg,' but carries much more weight. To me, it is a personal matter and you should go with your gut instinct. I can only describe what I have seen personally, so take from it what you want. The first thing to agree on is whether it is a house or a baby, they are both going to cost you a lot of money leaving little left over to save.
With the economy in such poor shape, the amount homes for sale and foreclosures it is probably one of the best times to buy a house. Ten years ago, $100,000 might have got you a tiny fixer upper, but the same amount today could get you a 3000sqft new, or newly remodeled house (with room to grow) in a nice area. Work with an experienced agent; they know every type of financing/interest rates and other available opportunity for 1st time house buyers. They are also privy to information on short sales and know which houses haven't sold, making the owner more than willing to negotiate.
If you buy a house first and becomes pregnant any time afterward, the moment you see your baby, you and your partner will do whatever it takes to fulfill the baby's needs. On the flip side, if you have a baby first, the baby becomes your entire world, putting the purchase of a house on the back burner. Every dime you make, every spare minute you have, will be for the baby, and college savings, medical care, clothing and many, many more things.
It makes saving for a house low on the priority list and very difficult to do. Your baby will always take precedence over everything, and there always seems to be something else to use your savings for, so you put it off a month, and then another month. By the time you're ready to buy a house, the economy may have taken an upward turn and you're right back where you started, buying a tiny fixer upper, just where you didn't want to be.

If ever a restaurant embodied the Zeitgeist of the Nineties (and isn't Zeitgeist the Ninetiest of words?) it was Quo Vadis. How deliciously ironic that an old Soho haunt, once the home of Karl Marx, should be taken over by the PR maestro and corporate flack Matthew Freud. And what larks when Freud and his partners, the artist Damien Hirst and Marco Pierre White, eventually had a spectacular falling-out, leaving White sulking in sole charge with only his self-painted Hirst knock-offs for company. Truly, each generation gets the bohemians and boulevardiers it deserves.
Like many a Soho old-timer, Quo Vadis, est. 1926, proved to be surprisingly resilient through all this, slipping quietly back into obscurity via a subsequent change of ownership. Then, earlier this year, the boards went up, signalling the start of a new chapter. The new owners, two bright young restaurateurs called Sam and Eddie Hart, are as different from the last mob as it's possible to imagine; career caterers (albeit of a rather elevated stripe: they grew up in the country house hotel Hambleton Hall), they have already launched two successful restaurants, Fino and Barrafina.
The fact that these are modern tapas restaurants, while Quo Vadis was to be relaunched as a contemporary take on a hotel grill room, might have set alarm bells ringing, had the Harts not generally been so well respected. Personally, I've always felt that they're very good at food, but that their restaurants lack, well, heart. So I was curious to see how they'd go about creating the more comfortable, cosseting atmosphere required for an elegant three-course meal, rather than a staccato flurry of tapas dishes.
The answer is, not very well. Quo Vadis gets many things right, including, crucially, the food. But a restaurant like this is about so much more than the food. One hesitates to use Manuel from Fawlty Towers as a reference point, given the Harts' Anglo-Spanish heritage, but there truly were touches of that farcical ineptness in the service we encountered over the course of our midweek dinner.
Still, let's focus on the good stuff. The room, for example, which has the same updated Twenties glamour as The Ivy and J Sheekey, all clubbable parquet floors, golden leather banquettes and foxed mirrors. The menu also has obvious parallels with The Ivy: simple British classics with an emphasis on grilled meat and fish, and a seasonal focus.
Given the Harts' reputation for serving excellent seafood and shellfish, we stuck to that end of the menu for our starters, and were generally happy; particularly with the brown shrimp on toasted pain Poilâne, and a silky, chilli-spiked crab tagliatelle. Fresh langoustines came with superb mayonnaise, and Colchester oysters on the half shell with red onion and Tabasco.
The oysters, though, didn't reach the table until the other starters were almost finished, and our waiter's general skittishness and anecdote-interrupting incursions put a serious damper on the evening. After taking our order, he returned to interrupt another punchline, saying that Chef wasn't happy with the turbot and recommended ordering a different fish. The substituted skate with capers was good, as was slow-cooked pork shoulder, aromatic with juniper berries, served with a strip of flattened crackling and apple sauce. Veal sweetbreads were cooked rather too rare, while from a variety of beef cuts served on and off the bone we sampled a decent sirloin steak, deep-flavoured under a good caramelised surface, with excellent triple-cooked chips and Bearnaise sauce.
By this stage, we were more or less alone in the room, apart from a couple about whom we knew rather more at the end of the evening than we would have liked – and if you're reading this, nice, dark-haired lady, don't go back with him, you deserve better. Having endured anecdotus interruptus all night from our waiter, it was galling to be then left alone, with no one ever coming to take our pudding order. Maybe Chef wasn't happy with the puddings? When Harry ordered a consolatory brandy he was told the digestif trolley hadn't yet arrived, and all they could offer was a Martell Cordon Bleu at £9.50 a glass. "There's a Threshers down the road!" as one of my guests pointed out.
Meanwhile the sound of hilarity and piano music drifted downstairs from the private members' bar, into which the Hart brothers and their entourage had long since disappeared, apparently taking their front-of-house team with them. Our only encounter with the owners came when one approached to supervise the clearing of our table, not making eye contact or asking us how our meal was, but fussing around and standing on Harry's foot in the process. All of which reinforced my opinion (OK, let's call it a prejudice) that the brothers may be good restaurateurs, but they're not natural hosts.
There's a reason The Ivy and its sister restaurants are always packed, and it's only partly to do with the food; much more, it's about their ability to make diners feel special, and every meal there like a treat. It may look effortless, but it's bloody hard to get right. Something I suspect the Hart brothers are now discovering.

The Lawyer, 3 January 1995, reports on the implementation of the EU Unfair Terms directive. Each Christmas the DTI springs a surprise on commercial lawyers when implementing EU directives. Last year it was major changes to the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations. The year before, the EU Software Directive was brought into force days after the final version was published.
This year the surprise is a pleasant one – more time for industry – and results in the need to correct your article. Although the EU Unfair Terms Directive should have been implemented by 1 January 1995, the Government has implemented the directive with effect from 1 July 1995 by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 (SI 1994/ 3159) not 31 December 1994 as your article suggests.This gives businesses six months to adjust contracts with consumers.
The interesting issue, though, is the rights of those who suffer through a failure to implement the directive on time. Anyone suffering loss through the operation of an unfair term which would have been void had the directive been implemented on time will have the right to sue the Government for damages, though after the Dori case they will not have rights as against third parties.

Our client is a fund in the city of London and they are looking for a portfolio manager for their energy team responsible for managing the funds activity in the reserve power sector, as well as having a broader role in investing in power, utilities and essential facilities opportunities.
The Energy team sources, invests and then manages a wide range of transactions using the various funds across various different energy sectors including Solar, Anaerobic Digestion, Wind and Reserve Power.
The Energy team currently manages c. £2bn of assets, and as this continues to grow rapidly they are looking to expand our portfolio management team accordingly.
This part of the Energy team offers high calibre companies an alternative funding solution to traditional sources of bank debt and equity investment.
It invests from £1m to £300m in businesses that can dominate their chosen markets or sectors.
Reserve power is the provision of small flexible power generation units to the National Grid and other counterparties who call on the power stations in times of peak demand. This sector is becoming a critical sector of the UK energy industry as more intermittent renewable energy is added to the National Grid.
Our client has been investing in this area for more than two years and now has c.250 MW of assets deployed with substantial further investment projected for this year.
- As a result of this increased activity, the reserve power team is now looking for portfolio manager to join the existing reserve power team of four.
- This role will report into the head of the Reserve Power team and will be tasked with managing and monitoring the performance of the 25 investments we aim to have in this sector over the next year. The role will also have significant exposure to new reserve power deals.
- This role is an excellent opportunity for an experienced individual with 5-10 years of experience to join a high growth business in a team
- The successful candidate would be responsible for liaising with the project managers that oversee the construction of the projects (upwards of 10 - 15 in construction presently) and also reviewing the operation of the projects once they are completed.
- This role works very closely with the finance team to review operational and financial performance of the assets on a weekly and monthly basis.
- Further responsibilities include the preparation of materials as part of the internal reporting process as well as performance reviews and commercial strategy analysis with the funds development partner.
- Develop a detailed understanding of the reserve power market as well as the UK electricity market and help drive the commercial strategy of the power plants
- Liaise with the operators of the power plants to monitor performance throughout the life cycle of plants; gathering and managing detailed data for the portfolio companies
- Oversee the construction process of new power plants in collaboration with Project Managers, ensuring they are being built to budget and on time, in a fashion expected when the deal was approved by the Investment Committee
- Support new transactions when required
- Build and maintain complex financial models, reflecting how the power plants operate and sell their power into the national grid
- Support internal fund reporting, including periodic valuation of the portfolio companies
- Oversee the interaction with external parties, mainly HMRC, to ensure investors receive any tax benefits and certificates due to them
- Maintain and enhance the risk monitoring framework in place, designed to identify any issues early and resolve them in a timely fashion
- Develop strong relationships with the operators as well as the wider Energy portfolio management and finance teams as required
- Excellent academic record
- Prior experience at an energy company, or in an investment bank, private equity house, or in a corporate finance team of one of the big 4 accountants, ideally with an energy focus
- A commercial mind-set, able to own operational decision making and understand their impact across the portfolio
- Excellent analytical and Excel financial modelling skills
- Very good knowledge of accounting and financial concepts
- A strong team player with the confidence to exercise judgement appropriately, challenge and liaise with colleagues at all levels of seniority
- A self-starter with high energy levels, initiative and a willingness to commit whatever it takes to deliver the required results
- Exceptional organizational and administration skills
- Some experience of working in a project management environment would be useful
- Portfolio Manager
- Reserve Power

This is a discussion on Convicted thief sues store he robbed within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Zeilinski's lawyer says his client is asking in excess of $125,000 for pain and suffering and emotional distress. ... for being stopped as the criminal ...
... for being stopped as the criminal he was, caught in the act?Zeilinski's lawyer says his client is asking in excess of $125,000 for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
Judge: "Subtract the pain/suffering/distress his client caused the 20 customers in the store at the time, plus the caulking, gypsum board and paint to repair the walls x20, plus the lost wages of the people who had to jerk around with this case due to his sorry but being at any place at the wrong time, plus the judge's time, the clerks' time, the DA's time, the Grand Jury's time and the hoard of attorneys. To say nothing of the lifelong emotion distress of the person who defended against your sorry butt. Let's see, that comes to ..... kaching! ..... kaching! .... kaching! $2.8M actual damages, $10M suffering, $10M pain, and $1M distress ('cause the shooter's a tough cookie), plus your wages, couselor. Hmmm. That's some figure, there, counselor! Ahem. Bailiff?"
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Michigan has castle doctrine which makes the defender immune from civil liability - the law the person a few posts above me just qouted. I don't think the criminal has a chance.
Miggy's link shows that this turd is serving sentence for UNARMED robbery. Contradicts the story. Possibly plea bargained?
If I am reading this right and all the facts are correct he is not suing the person who shot him. He is suing the store owner where he was "injured". Would the place of business be covered under this law?
The best things in life are not free.
They are paid for with the blood of brave men and women!

A Way In
Walking around I tried to remember who would be able to help me. Almost everyone I knew came to mind. But most of the people who could help me where ether dead or so intoxicated that they didn't even remember their own name, much less how to get into the castle and out with skin still attached.
"Got anything for me now, Poppy?" someone's old, diminishing voice called out.
"Who are you?"
"It's only been a couple of hours and you've forgotten me already? Tat, tat, tat."
"I might remember you if you told me who you are."
"Peg-leg." A shadow stood up and hobbled over to me.
Stepping back I relied that it was Peg-leg. Mostly it was his smell, which was like a muck keep in the middle of summer; and the hobbling of a man who had only one good leg and a stick of wood for the other. Then suddenly, it was as if lighting had struck me.
Peg-leg had anything and everything in his hole of a home. He had fancy jewels to matches, and he had what I needed. Maps.
"Hello, old man."
"Hello, thin child."
"I'm not a child."
"Then how old are you?"
"I don't know but what I do know is that I'm old enough not to be called a child."
"Fine. Now do you have something to sell?"
"How about trading?"
"What do you want to trade for?"
"First I need to see if you have what I need."
"And what is it that you need?"
"A map."
"A map of what? A map of the world, continent, contery, states, cites, or blocks?"
"I need a map of the castle."
"And why is that?"
"Do you have to know?"
"Alright then. Now do you have a map of the castle?"
"Come inside and we'll see."
He hobbled down the ally until he got to a door that was almost completely hidden by old, decaying crates. Fallowing only a few steps behind him I was hesitant to follow after him. His "house" smelled like a sewer and it was hard to see your own feet. But since I needed this mostly for James I slipped in.
"Now, where did I put that candle stick? Here you are." A light flashed on and the candlelight up.
I followed Pegleg with my eyes as he shuffle around the room looking for the bundle of maps. The room looked more crowed the usual with more boxes of every size containing secrets and temptations for a pick pocket such as myself.
"Here we are. Maps." Pegleg waddle over to the table in the center of the room. Under his right arm was a bundle of cows hide that held maps and in his left hand he carried a candle.
"Well come over here. Unless you're not interested in the castle map any more."
"I'm still interested."
"Now," he rolled out the cows hide reveling a stack of maps. "the castle should be at the bottom of this."
For four agonizing minutes he carefully moved each map until at the very bottom of the stack, was the entire lay out of the castle.
"The only thing left is to discuss the trade." I nodded in agreement.
I had a small stack of polished and unpolished moonstones that I was planning to buy a horse and leave this place when the King died. Since everyone guessed that when the King passed a way and his son, Prince Wallace, would just destroy everything that his father, the King, had spent is whole reign building up. And there was no way that I would be here to see it. But then again, there are things worth more then seeing a Kingdom fall apart. Such as the life of one's self and her friend.
"I have moonstones I can trade."
"How much?"
"Three polished moonstones and two unpolished."
"Done. I just have to go and get them."
"You know the one hour time limit."
"Of course. And it should only take me half an hour to go get the items and get back here."
"Alright. Run my little flower run!"

We tried ringing the previous resort, who hadn't seen them. We waited around for the boat to come and again were sang a farewell song just before boarding the little boat. When we got on ...

We then got back in the boat again because we had been swept down with the current, and when we were dropped further up, there was a manta ray underneath us doing backflips. Apparently they do this to make a little whirlwind to sweep up the plankton from the bottom in order to eat them. Eventually we got back in the boat to ...

Colorfull Colorado....
Aspen reminded me a bit of Banff, cute little ski/snowboard town with lots of hikes in the summer.
Unfortunately, I did not realize how high up Aspen is (2400m above sea level) and once we started our hike at Maroon Bells, I felt quite dizzy and tired. Turns out I must have had some sort of altitude sickness at 3000m above sea level... That happened on our hike in Santa Fe as well.. well, now I know :)
I recovered quickly and finished the hike at least...

Several flights of stairs, and this is a large airport! What happened to escalators? I have heard you do a lot of stairs in Italy, but I didn't expect them in the airport! Once upstairs, I wandered around a bit trying to find a certain restaurant where I was supposed to meet ...

Midnight Train
Jessie has made the journey many times before. Crossing from one side to the next was easy for him.
The dangers between this realm and the next were incomparable to what a normal person is used to. Would he be able to guide her, a true and innocent soul, through to safety on the other side? And where will he be taking her? He himself did not know, and it would all be dependent on his diligence within the first few days.
"This seems to be taking longer than usual." Jessie observed to himself as the giant train screeched to a halt. He rubbed the fogged-up glass window to try and see the platform at least. All he could see were fields of darkness.
As the train pulled away from the deserted station, he turned his fair blue eyes to Kate, taking in her beauty as she slept. Her pitch black hair framing her pale face, her rosebud lips slightly apart the deep breath of sleep filling her lungs. He wished for the simple times again, he wished she was not involved in this.
He stood, stretching, bending his tall muscular frame, so not to hit his head on the low roof.
Suddenly, he lost balance, the entire carriage falling, screeching of metal on metal, sparks and the smell of panic lit up the night. Jessie reached for Kate, scrambling against gravity to get to her. He had to rescue her. They had not reached their destination; she must not wake up, not here.
The blinding flash of light signalled the necessity of their exit. The paralysed train had finally screeched to a stop on its side, blocking the exit door. Kate was securely in her seat, the seat belt having saved her from injury. Using his steel toed boots, he kicked the window out with ease, thanking his lucky stars this train was old – no bullet proof glass.
He sprung out the window, taking the defensive position as he landed. He paused, his senses poised, waiting for anything out of the ordinary, a sound, a smell. He looked at his watch, she would wake soon. He had to hurry, had to get her to a safe place where she could wake, take in the news, and not be fearful of what was to come.

Seismic Evaluation
Seattle's updated list of masonry structures at risk from earthquake includes many structures in the Capitol Hill district. Property owners are not currently mandated to retrofit the buildings they own.
Capitol Hill Seattle Blog
Sunday's powerful Bay Area earthquake brought attention to the urgent need to retrofit existing buildings in California. One expert stated the damage in Napa "was predictable." Do you know the three types of construction that need to be reinforced?
The Wall Street Journal
Recent controversies surrounding large-scale projects in Hollywood approved without comprehensive seismic evaluations reveal gaps between California construction laws and the City of Los Angeles's ability to enforce them.

The Independent Investor: Why Interest Rates Are Moving Higher
After two years of warning bond investors that their days are numbered, the recent hike in global interest rates is making some of those smug bond babies stay up at night. They should.
We are entering our ninth year without a Federal Reserve-inspired hike in interest rates. It has been over 25 years since bond prices have dropped by any appreciable amount. Given that time period, it is no wonder that bond bulls are taking all these warnings with a grain of salt.
U.S. investors have been expecting the Fed to raise rates at any time. Most pundits think that a small September or November hike in short-term rates is in the cards. The problem is that the Fed has told all of us that a raise in rates is "data dependent."
Given that guideline, every trader on Wall Street is pouring over a range of numbers both here and abroad to try and determine the Fed's next move. Recently, the economic data both here and in Europe has been encouraging. Some say too encouraging. Consumer prices in Europe, for example, have led some to worry that if price levels continue to increase, inflation could be a problem for the EU. Readers may recall that it was only in April that German sovereign debt was yielding 0.05 percent. Today, it is topping 1.00 percent and moving higher.
In other countries, from Japan to the U.K., rates are higher than they have been for many months. But despite the run up in rates, bond interest rates are still abnormally low by historical standards. Take our 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a benchmark rate that investors watch in the U.S.
In the last month, the 10-year rate has increased from below 2 percent to almost 2.5 percent. Yet, at the start of 2014 that Treasury yield was 3 percent. And just before the financial crisis of 2008, yields on that bond were trading north of 5 percent. There is a lot of room to rise.
The fortunes for stock and bond markets around the world still hinge on what central banks are doing. Twenty-six of 35 global central banks are pouring billions, if not trillions, into their financial markets in an effort o jumpstart their economies. It was our own U.S. Federal Reserve that launched the world on this monetary path when we announced the first quantitative easing back in 2009.
Given the success that we have had in growing our economy, central banks have simply taken a page from our playbook with what appears to be similar results, although it is still too early to proclaim a success. These various quantitative easing moves around the world are why this year I've become more bullish on foreign markets than our own.
As for you bond holders in the U.S. Treasury markets, I would begin to sell down your positions now. Many investors have simply countered that they are in these bonds for the long haul. They say they don't care if bond prices crater over the next few years. They will simply buy some more. I say that strategy could land you in the poor house just at the time when you are going to need that money to live on in retirement. Don't get caught with your pants down.

The Independent Investor: How to Run for President and Make a Fortune
Almost every day this week we received an announcement of yet another contender for the 2016 presidency, or an announcement that an announcement would be forthcoming. The reason for so many candidates however, may have nothing to do with winning the presidency.
Back in the day, it was rare to have any more than two or three candidates in each party (and maybe an independent) running in the presidential primaries. Over the last few years that number has tended to increase. This year it looks like we may set a record of most candidates seeking the country's highest office. As of this week, I think we have 10 announced with another eight or more coming.
Can all these politicians truly believe they have a chance at the number one spot? After all, it takes money, time, effort, a large staff and so on to run a campaign. In my experience, politicians have never been known to waste their own money on a losing cause unless there was something in it for them.
Running for president, it would appear, has actually become a short-cut to fame and fortune in this country for many politicians. The "losers" benefit from an enormous amount of free media coverage, fundraising sources, job offers and more. In addition, they get a chance to have their views aired to millions of people, regardless of whether these views have anything to do with reality.
Losing candidates are offered television shows, speaking engagements, lobbying positions, even company management slots as well as the opportunity to position themselves for the next race whether for the presidency or in state or local politics.
What's more, given the right contacts, the whole effort is paid for by someone else. In this day of "Super PACs" and unlimited contributions from individuals and corporations, there is always somebody who is willing to buy a politician somewhere. Politicians canvas the country seeking campaign funds from every available source. When the competition becomes too intense (as it is now), well, there are always the billionaire survivalists or wealthy religious extremist who is willing to bankroll someone who will act as a mouthpiece for their views.
And this newly-found political gold mine is not the preserve of Republicans. As time goes by Democratic candidates are also jumping on board. Who, outside of Rhode Island, for example, would know Lincoln Chafee, the son of a politician and a lifetime politician himself?
He wants the country to switch to the metric system. Then there's Martin O'Malley, former governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore, and Bernie Sanders from Vermont. They are all claiming to be the heir to America's Progressive Movement.
Hilary Clinton, the front-running candidate of her party, gave us some insight into how lucrative the speaking tour can be for an out-of-office politician. Her husband, Bill Clinton, earned $104.9 million for 542 speeches over 13 years. Hillary can now demand $200,000 and up after her failed bid for the presidency and her stint as secretary of state. She is in greater demand than her husband.
But let's not pick on the Democrats. Mike Huckabee, a contender for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2008, landed his own television show on Fox News as a result. Rick Santorum now runs a company that makes Christian movies. And let's not forget Sarah Palin.
Our girl Sarah was showered with book deals, TV shows, high-priced speaking engagements and much more. And that's all from a candidate who exhibited a level of world-class ignorance in foreign affairs that stunned me. Remember Rick Perry? He is running again. In case you forgot, he was the 2008 candidate that couldn't remember the names of the three government agencies he had promised to close. I could go on and on but I won't.
You get the point. The tragedy is that most of us learned in civics class that it was our patriotic duty to listen and to try and understand the policies of every candidate seeking this, our most important public office. Now these politicians have managed to subvert and use that duty as a means to further line their own pocketbooks, while expanding their fame and future fortunes.
Enough said.

The Independent Investor: Man's Most Expensive Friend
The pet business is booming. Last year, we spent $58.5 billion on our animal buddies and will plunk down an additional 4-5 percent more this year. The lion's share of that increase, after food, is going toward health care.
One reason for this growth is that a record numbers of Americans have pets today. The ASPCA estimates that there are 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats that are homesteading in our houses. That means that approximately 37-47 percent of all American households own either a dog or cat. If you throw in birds, fish, rabbits and other small pets, nearly 70 percent of Americans own pets today.
There was a time when the experts could just tell you how much that pet might cost you over a lifetime. A medium-sized canine, according to the stats, could cost you $1,580 in the first year and then roughly $700 annually thereafter for the life of the pet. Your cat might cost less, maybe $1,300 year, but about the same as a dog every year thereafter. Those costs would include spaying or neutering, vaccinations, food, treats, toys, training, leashes and other routine care and medicines. However, that does not include the costs of boarding, sitting, major medical and of course, pampering
Food is still the largest expense. Dog food prices have risen steadily since I was a kid when my father brought home our first boxer. Back in the 1970s, for those of you who remember, a can of dog food cost about 8 cents a can. Today that can is fetching $3-$4 or more. This year, treats alone will cost us $2.5 billion while pet food costs overall will total $23 billion
Clearly, Mad Men on Madison Avenue have embraced the dog food business. Human dietary trends and social and consumer habits have been neatly translated into new doggy diets, organic treats for your cat and even monthly deliveries of high-priced gift boxes like "barkboxes." Buzz words such as "range-free, byproduct-free and organic" abound on $100 bags of kibble.
No one blinks an eye when advertisers apply the slogan "you are what you eat" to that fur ball you imagine is lacking a certain luster in her coat or looks a bit porky (unless, of course, he is your pet pig). They use these ploys to convince us to spend two or three times the regular price of that run-of-the-mill stuff we normally buy and it works.
But remember, dog food is not people food and the FDA cannot always protect the consumer from companies that claim one thing and sell another. Just recently, Blue Buffalo, a high-priced, billion-dollar, premium pet food company that ships over 10 million bags annually, was called-out by its competitor. Purina sued the company for claiming its food was byproduct free when it wasn't. It took a year in the courts, but finally Blue Buffalo had to admit to the truth.
Health care costs have also risen. Veterinarian care will cost Americans a total of $15.73 billion dollars this year. Medical breakthroughs in technology and medical services like chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, ultrasounds and biopsies for pets are now readily available at our local vets. There was a time when these services, if they were available at all, were few and far between. These skyrocketing costs are the principal reason that the pet insurance industry is growing at an average rate of 13 percent a year from nowhere a decade ago. The number of insured pets has risen to over one million and growing steadily.
The engine of growth behind this pet phenomenon is a growing and changing emotional bond between us and our pets. Increasingly, we feel that Duke or Daisy is a part of our human family. There is even a word for it, "anthropomorphization," the attribution of human characteristics to our pets. Many pet owners today seem to blur the lines between children and their animals. As such, these newest members of our families enjoy the same level of attention and spending that one's other children demand.
You don't have to agree with it, but you can't fight it either. There is something downright comforting to come home to a wagging tail or a body purring against your leg. As for me, I draw the line at the dinner table. My dog does not sit at the table (although he does sit under it where the scraps are best).

@theMarket: June Is Off the Table
The notes of the Fed's April policy meeting, released this week, may have confused more people than not. The central bank committee revealed that they were unlikely to raise short-term interest rates in June. That statement could be taken as both a positive and a negative, depending on your investment position.
The official notice of a delayed rate hike was greeted with relief by some, although the markets had largely baked in that outcome. Many Fed Heads contend that a rate hike in September is still only a 50/50 proposition, while others argue any increase in rates won't happen until sometime next year.
This, they argue, is because the growth rate of the economy is simply not strong enough to weather even a small uptick in interest rates. Some economists in that camp actually believe that the economy may very well be rolling over (as it has in the past), after the Federal Reserve discontinued other quantitative easing programs. Would that be good or bad for the stock market?
A slowing economy could be interpreted either way. Some investors might bail out of equities and back into bonds believing that the market is way too expensive given the possibility of an impending economic decline. Others might see that as a positive scenario. Traders might anticipate that the Fed, like other central banks worldwide that are faced with slowing economies, would launch yet another QE stimulus program. History indicates that would give a further boost to stocks as it has in this country over the past few years (and Europe, Japan and China today).
Then there are the economic bulls, who believe that we will see the economy roar back after the impact of a dismal winter, declining energy prices, and a strong dollar begins to dissipate. These headwinds to the economy are already abating, they argue, and as the summer progresses, both employment and consumer spending will pick up. That would most likely be taken as another positive for the stock market, justifying existing valuations and more potential upside in the future.
For those caught within this quandary, the only thing they can do is watch, wait and worry. As for me, I'm not in that camp, since the present "muddle-through" economy is just fine with me. A "not too cold, not too hot" state of economic affairs has worked out well for our portfolios and tax-deferred retirement accounts.
And now that we are seeing some job growth, even Main Street is getting to participate in the prosperity that has been confined to Wall Street over the last five years. I believe the Fed has our backs, especially those of the middle class. They are as concerned about the growing income inequality in this country as I am. Janet Yellen, chairwoman of our Federal Reserve, has said as much on several occasions.
The Fed, in my opinion, will do all that is humanly possible to maintain and grow this economy with an eye to increasing employment and wage growth. If, in accomplishing these objectives, Wall Street also profits, then everybody wins. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, that is the investment environment we find ourselves. If, others chose to watch, wait and worry be my guest. I will stay invested and I hope you do too. I wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and Semper Fi to all my fellow Marines out there.

The Independent Investor: Will Memorial Day Kick Off a Strong Summer?
Brace yourself for a crowded holiday weekend. This year the kickoff to the summer season will see 37.2 million Americans take to the roads. It will be the strongest volume in travel in over a decade. And the summer is only beginning.
The joyful combination of low gasoline prices and a stronger economy is expected to improve the economic health of sectors ranging from hotels to autos to summer jobs for teenagers. After a dismal winter, this rebound should allow the economy to bounce back and then some.
Memorial Day weekend, for example, is typically one of the four best times each year to purchase an automobile (with tax season, Labor Day weekend and the end of the year the remaining three). That's because shoppers have been hibernating all winter and are heading outside to take advantage of spring deals. The three-day weekend also gives potential buyers an extra day to shop. And it's the end of the month when car salesmen are trying to hit their monthly bonus targets. This, some think, makes salesmen more willing to make a deal and earn a big bonus check.
This year, many manufacturers are sweetening the pot even further by adding cash allowances on top of special financing while many dealerships are offering a special bonus to those who make the most sales over the long weekend. Together with low gas prices, this combination has enticed Americans to pay up for luxury cars, extras and sport-utility vehicles. That's good news for the automakers since those models are far more profitable for the industry than simple passenger cars.
Consumer confidence is also at record highs, thanks to lower fuel savings and an improved job market. Those factors are giving families more disposable income heading into the summer. That's good news for the hotel and tourist industry as consumers are expected to head to the beach or to other vacation destinations in record numbers.
This year too, many more Americans will be travelling overseas, thanks to the 12-month climb in the U.S. dollar. The currency effect has made overseas destinations affordable, making the cost of foreign vacations the cheapest in over a decade. Not only has there been an increase in the number of Americans travelling, but their length of stay has also risen.
Europe, especially, has seen a healthy uptick in bookings largely due to the steep fall in the Euro, the currency of the European Union. As an example, a typical hotel cost for a week's stay in Vienna is cheaper than a comparable room at the same hotel in Dallas.
There is also some good news for kids looking for a job over summer break. The results of a summer hiring survey of 1,000 employers, by Snagajob, an employment website, indicates that 78 percent of those polled expect to hire the same, or more, hourly workers this summer compared to last year.
Another outplacement consultancy firm, Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said employment demand for those between the ages of 16 and 19 years old is currently at its highest level since 2009. What's more, overall hourly wages are expected to increase to an average of $11.52 this summer, compared to $10.39 last year. That appears to prove wrong all those doom and gloomers who were predicting this year's increases in the minimum wage would decimate job growth, especially among women and the young.
All in all, it looks like this weekend will launch a fairly healthy summer for Main Street while Wall Street goes on vacation. By the time traders return after Labor Day, the results of this summer could add a boost to the stock market as well. Now that's a nice prospect. Enjoy your holiday, America.

Great apartment, brand new, modern and very clean. Fully equipped, washing machine to dry hair, through the vacuum cleaner and towels. A little bit away in a quiet environment away from the lively but only 5 minutes walk from St Mark's Square and Rialto 10.
Super appartement, tout neuf, moderne et très propre.
Parfaitement équipé, de la machine à laver au sèche cheveux, en passant par l'aspirateur et les serviettes de toilette.
Un peu peu à l'écart dans une impasse au calme des quartiers animés mais seulement à 5 minutes à pied de la place St Marc et 10 du Rialto.
Very nice location and arrangements to get into the apartment were great. It was a little small for 6 ppl. Apartment was very clean but there was an odor form the shower that was a bit of a problem and hopefully can be fixed for future renters.
The apartment was very clean and tasteful. We were picked up by the vaporetto station and taken to the apartment. Super service. The apartment is well located and ideal for a short break. The kitchen we did not need, there are plenty of restaurants in the area.
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir wurden an der Vaporetto-Station abgeholt und in die Wohnung gebracht. Super Service.
Die Wohnung ist gut gelegen und ideal für einen Kurzurlaub. Die Küche haben wir nicht gebraucht, es gibt jede Menge Restaurants in der Umgebung.
Beautiful renovated apartment in a quiet area with all the necessary equipment Located a few minutes walk from St. Mark's Square in a quiet and friendly (bar, restaurant, small shops) Small flat: air conditioning but only in the main room. The address can be confusing: the alley overlooking Corte Nuova Via Giuseppe Garibaldi
Très bel appartement rénové au calme avec tout l'équipement nécessaire
Situé à quelques minutes à pied de la place Saint Marc dans un quartier calme et sympa(bar, resto, petits commerces)
Petit bémol : climatisé mais seulement dans la pièce principale.
L'adresse peut porter à confusion: la ruelle Corte Nuova donne sur Via Giuseppe Garibaldi
We were very pleased with the apartment. Made for a great stay in venice- easy to get to the Vaporatto stops on both the Grand Canal and those on the northern shore and easy to access the bus terminal/ rail station when arriving leavig for the airport.
We were met by a very good guide , meeting us on time and showing us the flat and pointing out the shops and area well.
We had a small problem with the spare keys not working and the toaster but those were sorted out very quickly.
It was all very smart, clean and comfortable - we especailly liked the good aircon unit - it was very hot and humid in late august this year (2012)
VERY VERY GOOD POSITION! Near a very nice Campo, you can walk everywhere in 15 Minutes.
We liked our stay there, our Children too.
The only Minus: The Flat (bathroom) could be more cleaner.
Apartment comfortable and centrally in a quiet and exclusive condominium within walking distance from the main station and the center.
Appartamento comodo e centralissimo, all'interno di un condominio tranquillo e facilmente raggiungibile a piedi sia dalla stazione che dal centro.
Geweldig appartement in ern authentieke wijk van Venetie. Heerlijke buurt waar je veel locals tegenkomt. Genoeg slaap en leefruimte. Prachtig uitzicht op het water. Grenzend aan de joodse ghetto en absolute aanrader. Enige min puntje is dat er weinig licht inval is.
departamento bien ubicado, confortable
algunos detalles de mantenimiento
