Room 94
Room 94. I look down the corridor. This is going to take to long. I can't ask the others to open the doors, none of them can reach. This is going to take to long. I sigh, grab the wheel and lock it off. Smoke bellows out of the room. It reaches my eyes and I find myself coughing and my eyes watering. I turn around and look in the room. Through the smoke I see something breathing, something alive.
The smoke clears and I see a body lying on the floor. I see a face breathing out smoke. The face looks so young, younger than Billy. The body is as big as mine, a bare chest and a blanket over the legs. Dare I take the blanket off to see what is there? And I'm not even sure that there are legs under there. With caution, I walk slowly into the room. My glare is transfixed on the smoke coming out of its mouth. At a guess, I would say it is a male. It looks at me, gobsmacked and shocked. Again, they will have not seen another person in so long.
"It's okay...." I say, my mind drifting, transfixed on the smoke around. "I'm not going to hurt you"
"Please... kill... me..." he says, breathing out smoke after every word.
"Erm...." I can't do that. He's already in to much pain, he can't move, and he's breathing out smoke. There is nothing I can do to help. "I'm sorry"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he yells. Scared, I jump back at the wall. He sucks in some of the smoke and his cheeks suck in to his face. "Achh" he starts to turn blue, his eyes go up into his head, and then appears lifeless.
"What's going on?" Billy asks behind the door.
"No" I say and walk out. "You don't want to go in there... it wasn't pretty"
"What was it?"
"It... is... now dead" I shut the door behind me and lock it. Well that was interesting. "Let's go" and now for room 93.

At just 22-years-old, Darlington born Jackson has built a solid reputation as a tall, powerful, ball playing centre half with an eye for goal.On the summer signing, Paul Heckingbottom commented, "He stood out and excelled in League Two with Hartlepool, and having watched him for a long period of time we know exactly what he is capable of. He is ready for the challenge of the Championship."

All except one. Arnaldo Otegi, leader of Eta's political wing, Herri Batasuna (HB), failed to commit himself.
Spain's nearest equivalent of Gerry Adams had the hopes of many pinned on him for an end to 30 years of combat. But having kept silent during the blanket condemnations that reverberated throughout Sunday, Mr Otegi finally spoke yesterday. He made no mention of Eta, only urging Basques to keep calm at this "enormously delicate moment".
Mr Otegi's non-committal stance reflects the dilemma confronting perhaps the loneliest man in Spanish politics. Does this former Eta combatant join the chorus of condemnation and break from his armed comrades? Or does he back them and dash a nation's hopes that he could lead Basque gunmen to the negotiating table?
At his press conference yesterday, Mr Otegi had harsh words for the party with whom HB had built bridges - the conservative Basque Nationalist Party (PNV). He accused them of political irresponsibility and lacking courage for not backing the demand for full independence. To most Spaniards, such censure of the one party in Spain to lend HB support and credibility is incomprehensible. For it was the party that drew HB from its self-imposed ghetto, prompting Eta to declare a ceasefire in September last year.
HB's wider political alliance, Euskual Herritarok (EH), or Basques Together, expressed dismay both at Eta's threat to take up arms again and at HB's failure to condemn it. "Our illusions are broken," an EH spokeswoman said. "How can we consider the possibility of a constitutional process leading to an independent Basque country? It's unreal."
And that is the point. As well as repudiating violence, Spain's democratic parties, from socialists to the ruling, conservative Popular Party and most Basque parties, oppose Eta's demand for a Basque country independent from Madrid and Paris - Eta's concept of a free Euskadi includes French territory.
The socialist leader, Joaquin Almunia said yesterday that he was ready to join the Prime Minister, Jose Maria Aznar, in planning the broadest consensus to confront and isolate the gunmen. The Interior Minister, Jaime Mayor Oreja, confirmed that security was being tightened; he warned that Eta, though weakened militarily, was still able to kill.
The problem is that talk of isolation, security alerts and unity against violence takes everyone back to square one. Cautious hopes over the last 14 months that 30 years of stalemate and empty rhetoric were ending have been dashed. No one knows what to do - not even Mr Otegi, who seemed most attuned to both sides' yearning for a solution - except brace themselves for the next attack.Reuse content

Susanne Bayly was heavily pregnant with their second child when banker Akihisa Yukawa died in a plane crash in Japan in August 1985. His death meant Diana, born just three weeks later and now a hugely successful concert violinist, did not have her father's name on the birth certificate.
But Ms Bayly, now 51, refused to give up the fight to have Mr Yukawa recognised officially as Diana's father. And last week - after a change in the law and DNA tests - Diana's birth certificate was finally amended. The move could pave the way for a claim on Mr Yukawa's inheritance.
Ms Bayly, who lives in Wimbledon, said today: "As no legal procedure covered the adding of a name posthumously, it had to be approved by the Foreign Secretary.
"Register office officials say my case is unique but it's wonderful to see Aki's name where it says father' and incredibly it has eased the grief I've suffered for so long."
Ms Bayly, then a 21-year-old ballet student, met Mr Yukawa, 28 years her senior, in a London restaurant in 1978. Mr Yukawa, who had been posted to London by his bank, had two grown up sons in Japan and a wife who had suffered severe brain injuries after a car crash. Ms Bayly was three months pregnant with their first daughter Cassie when Mr Yukawa returned to work in Japan, taking his lover with him.
He kept his new family secret from his sons but told his mother. In 1985, he died on a flight from Tokyo to Osaka which crashed killing 520 people on board. Not long after, Ms Bayly returned to London taking with her Cassie and her new-born daughter.
"It was devastating as, although he was still with his wife and had two sons with her, Aki and I had been together for years. Instantly, the love of my life, my soulmate, had gone," recalled Ms Bayly, "Aki was a man of wealth whose bank would not accept a whiff of scandal. The only person who knew about our relationship was his mother, who gave us her blessing."
Three weeks after Diana was born, Ms Bayly was paid £340,000 by Mr Yukawa's to spare them the embarrassment and public disgrace. In return she agreed to remain silent.
She moved back to Wimbledon using the money and funds given by their Japanese grandmother to pay for her daughters' specialist music education. Cassie, now 27, is a concert pianist while Diana, 23, has a recording deal with Sony and is working on her third album. She is famous in Japan - not least for playing at a memorial service for the victims of Japan Airlines Flight 123.
Miss Bayly said: "Diana was a female version of Aki and so obviously his daughter. Both girls were also incredibly gifted musically, Cassie as a pianist and Diana on the violin.
"Yet although I knew Aki would have been so proud of his daughters and would have wanted to have provided financially for them, I struggled to fund their specialist tuition fees.
"Aki always used to say: Wherever you are, don't forget that I am with you' and my biggest sadness is that he is not here to see how wonderfully his daughters have turned out. And despite everything I've been through, deep in my heart I know he would have approved."Reuse content


text: Hi all. I was recently having some bad video driver issues (getting frequent BSODs after updating to the latest drivers for my 560 Ti), so I did a system restore. After the restore, I'm not having any problems with that, but a new one has popped up: opening any photo or video file in Windows Photo Viewer, VLC, or MPC-HC takes a while. There's a 10-15 second delay. In the case of Windows Photo Viewer, it doesn't open the program until then. With VLC and MPC-HC, the program opens but it takes that long to load the file. I've tried this on two separate hard drives, and opening the files with other programs (such as opening a local image file using Chrome) doesn't have the same delay. I've rebooted my computer several times, rebuilt my icon cache (which has fixed some similar bugs for me before), and checked that I didn't have an issue with color calibration (which reportedly slows down Windows Photo Viewer). Scanning with MSE turned up nothing. I can't do a system restore to any other point since this was the only one before I installed the new video card drivers that gave me even worse trouble. So what gives?

When traveling overseas, what is it that you most look forward to — the sights, the culture, or the food? If your answer is the food, you're not alone and we don't blame you. Many countries specialize in a certain dish or cuisine, and indulging in that treat while in a foreign country just feels sweet, even if that food item happens to be savory.
But still, what many people don't realize is that while crepes taste best in Paris, pizza tastes most authentic in Italy, and shephard's pie tastes especially comforting in Ireland, it is possible to make those foreign treats at home and enjoy them, too. They won't even cost you a plane ticket. Thankfully, a whole lot less.
Before you book your trip for Europe next year, or rather than booking your trip next year, consider enjoying one of these six foreign delicacies in your very own kitchen. Take your mouth on an European culinary tour from France to Italy to Ireland to Amsterdam to Spain to Germany, and then determine what cuisine is really your specialty.
1. Stroopwafel — Amsterdam
If you've ever been to the Venice of the North, there's a good chance you've tried their famous stroopwafels. If you haven't, think of a dessert that consists of two thin, crispy wafers sandwiched together with a caramel-like syrup. The Dutch have the sweet treat down pat, and you can, too, with this recipe from Food.com. As long as you have a pizzelle iron, you can bring Amsterdam to your kitchen, and after that, you can start working on your poffertjes.
Waffle Cookies
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (¼ ounce) package active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water
- 1½ cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons dark corn syrup
Directions: Preheat a pizzelle iron. To make the waffles, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Cut butter into the flour. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix well and set aside to rise for 30 to 60 minutes. Roll dough into 12 small balls; squeeze each ball into the preheated pizzelle iron and bake for about 30 seconds. Cut the waffles into two thin waffles and spread with filling.
To make the filling, in a saucepan boil the brown sugar, the remaining one cup of the butter, cinnamon, and dark corn syrup until it reaches the soft ball stage (234-240 degrees Fahrenheit), stirring constantly.
To assemble, cut each waffle into 2 thin waffles and spread with filling. Repeat this process until all the filling is used. If using store bought, simply spread about 1 tablespoon of filling on one waffle cookie, let it cool about 1 minute, and squeeze a second cookie on top. Makes 12 servings.

Imagine A Farming Industry That Grows Food, Not Corporate Profit
In Mali on Feb. 27, 2015, the organization Nyeleni (global congress for food sovereignty) produced The Declaration of the International Forum for Agroecology. It advocated a model of food production radically opposed to the current corporate-controlled system. Delegates pledged that they would work to:
"... build our own local food systems that create new rural-urban links, based on truly agroecological food production... We cannot allow agroecology to be a tool of the industrial food production model: we see it as the essential alternative to that model... We need to put the control of seeds, biodiversity, land and territories, waters, knowledge, culture and the commons in the hands of the peoples who feed the world."
The declaration represents a challenge to the commercial and geopolitical interests of the U.S. government and its transnational agribusiness sector. Rather than wanting to transform society and food and agriculture, these state-corporate interests require business as usual.
Their corporate model threatens food security and food sovereignty. The interests behind it have captured government regulatory/policy agendas, important trade deals and global trade policies. Monsanto itself is a major player and wields enormous influence and receives significant political support, which is unfortunate given its terrible track record.
In recent times, much resistance to the power of agribusiness has centred on seed patenting, the deleterious impacts of glyphosate-based herbicide and the dangers that GMOs pose to human and animal health and the environment (GMOs were put on the market fraudulently in the first place). And, of course, there is the GMO labelling issue.
A sign for DeKalb seed corn, a brand of Monsanto Co., stands near a corn field in Princeton, Illinois, U.S. (Photo: Daniel Acker/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
But if proper mandatory labelling of GMOs is successful and glyphosate gets banned, what next? Years of debate, deception, industry-funded science and PR over RNA interference, synthetic biology or some other "cutting-edge" technological development and regulatory bodies as government agencies continue to collude with companies?
That would suit powerful corporations just fine. By the time they surrender ground on one issue (if they ever do), the next technology is ready to be rolled out and be promoted or protected by their army of lawyers, PR departments, front groups, glove-puppet politicians and officials. Then it is left to the public and various organisations to fight the good fight all over again and engage in another rear guard action that could take decades to resolve. In the meantime, profits are secured, while health, agriculture and the environment are further degraded.
This piece describes how the people at Monsanto work inside a (well-paid) bubble defined by a business model that is aimed at market capture and profit maximization. As if to underline this, Jack Kasky on Bloomberg reports:
"Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hugh Grant is focused on selling more genetically modified seeds in Latin America to drive earnings growth outside the core U.S. market. Sales of soybean seeds and genetic licenses climbed 16 per cent, and revenue in the unit that makes glyphosate weed killer, sold as Roundup, rose 24 per cent."
In the same piece, Chris Shaw, a New York-based analyst at Monness Crespi Hardt & Co states: "Glyphosate really crushed it," implying its sales were a major boost.
Powerful corporations might like to project the view that their particular business model and the public interest are one and the same. But this is clearly deluded thinking, given the health impacts of glyphosate and, for example, the deleterious impacts of a corporate agriculture throughout South America.
But through massive PR and advertising, this warped mindset or ideology is perpetuated not only within the confines of a company like Monsanto, but is also rolled out to try to convince the public of the same.
The only aim of companies such as Monsanto is to maximize profit. Why else would Monsanto see nothing wrong with making illegal profits from the seeds sold to farmers in India who live on a knife-edge? Why else would it seek to boost sales of health-damaging chemicals and conveniently ride high on an estimated wave of over $51 billion of taxpayer subsidies in the U.S. over a 10-year period to get farmers to plant its corn?
There is a need to establish societies run for the benefit of the mass of the population and a system of food and agriculture that is democratically owned and controlled.
Transnational agribusiness is very much embedded within dominant power structures and plays a key role in determining global and regional policies. While tackling agribusiness on an issue-by-issue basis is necessary, we must appreciate that there is a need to establish societies run for the benefit of the mass of the population and a system of food and agriculture that is democratically owned and controlled. This involves encouraging localized rural and urban food economies that are shielded from the effects of rigged trade and international markets, which serve transnational agribusiness interests.
It would mean that what ends up in our food and how it is grown is determined by the public good and not powerful private interests, which are driven by commercial gain and the compulsion to subjugate farmers, consumers and entire regions, while playing the victim each time campaigners challenge their actions.
There are enough examples from across the world that serve as models for transformation, from farming in socialist Cuba to grass-root movements centred on agroecology in Africa and India.
The 2015 Declaration of the International Forum for Agroecology (read here) sets out a framework for action. It was devised by delegates representing diverse organisations and international movements of small-scale food producers and consumers, including peasants, indigenous peoples, communities, hunters and gatherers, family farmers, rural workers, herders and pastoralists and fisherfolk. These diverse constituencies provide 70 per cent of the food consumed by humanity, and, as such, are the primary global investors in agriculture, as well as the primary providers of jobs and livelihoods in the world.
There is a need to transform a food system and rural sector that has been devastated by industrial food production. Groups like Nyeleni show there is an alternative to an increasingly globalized economic system that puts profit before the environment and privileges the needs of agribusiness ahead of all else.

According to the USDA, 36.8 billion pounds of broiler chicken were raised and killed for consumption in 2013. Since these animals live in such close quarters, some farm operators remove the beaks of chickens, turkeys and ducks to keep them from pecking one another to death, often by burning or cutting the beaks off. Although a number of scientists claim that this practice does not cause the animals too much pain, a significant portion of them die throughout the ordeal. Despite the mass amounts of chicken, turkey and ducks we consume annually, fowl are exempt from the Humane Slaughter Act. This means that unlike the mammals we consume, chickens can be killed however the farm owner sees fit.
In 2011, more than 80 percent of antibiotics produced were fed to livestock. Although some of these drugs were necessary to keep animals healthy in conditions that would otherwise make them sick, like living on top of one another's waste, most of it was specifically administered to artificially increase rapid growth. While it may seem like these drugs could be inadvertently protecting consumers from disease, they are actually contributing to the terrifying rise of superbugs -- deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria that thrive and multiply in the absence of weaker microbes.
According to one study, 65 percent of all hogs tested had pneumonia-like lesions on their lungs. Researchers believe this is due to ammonia and other gases released from the massive amounts of manure that the animals come into contact with every day.
In 2009, Mercy For Animals went undercover at a Hy-Line Iowa egg factory and discovered that baby chickens who were of no egg-laying use to the buyers (read: male chicks), were put on a conveyor belt and sent directly to a grinder. Hy-Line defended this practice by insisting that it was industry standard.
While cows can live naturally to about twenty years old, many dairy cows living in factory farms are sent to slaughter before they reach the age of five. Though cows can naturally remain productive for 12-15 years, the intensive conditions of industrial dairies can take a toll on their health.
Every year, millions of sows are kept in cages called "gestation crates," a cost-cutting measure that keeps the pregnant pigs immobilized. The concrete floors beneath the crates are often slatted so that manure can just slip through into huge pits. After spending a full four-month pregnancy in these gestation crates, the sows often suffer from abscesses, sores and ulcers. However, even when the pigs are released from the crates, they are not living a comfortable life: The uneven floors of the hog houses have been proven to cause leg and feet deformities.
Notoriously mistreated, veal calves are often forced to wear heavy chains to keep them from becoming overactive in their stalls. The calves are also kept in near or total darkness and suffer from forced anemia, for no reason other than to keep their flesh pale and attractive.
"Battery cages," the common living space for more than 90 percent of egg-laying hens in America, provide as little as 0.6 square feet of space per hen. That is smaller than a regular sized sheet of paper.
Citing health reasons and worker comfort, a majority of U.S. farms practice tail docking, the act of removing the tails of livestock by burning, emasculating, or constricting the tail with an elastic band. This practice causes pain, stress, and sometimes infection in the cows, which is why it has been outlawed in a number of countries, such as New Zealand. However, California is the only U.S. state where tail docking is illegal.

To: Tony Blair <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: Not to pester, but...!
Hi Tony. Yes, got my pre-ordered copy of A Journey! Busy week, what with ending the combat mission in Iraq and restarting the Middle East peace talks, but I've managed to take a look at the first few chapters. You say "it's hardly on the level of Dreams From My Father", but I think you are being unnecessarily harsh on yourself! After all, very few books are! You have a real skill for avoiding overcomplication and keeping things simple, and that can be very admirable sometimes. As for your re quest — yes, I'd be happy to provide a blurb for the paperback edition. How about "This book is a must-read for anyone interested in reading a memoir by Tony Blair"? Warmly as ever, Barack
To: Michelle Obama <email@example.com> Subject: Blair book
Honey, sorry, just a quick favour. Are you in the residence? Looks like I'm actually going to have to READ some of the Blair book, now he's harassing me about it. I think it's propping up one leg of that wobbly Colonial-era dressing-table in the Lincoln Bedroom. Can you drop it by the Oval Office, and stick something else in its place? I just finished The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest — they're roughly similar. In thickness, I mean. Not excitement levels, I'm assuming. xxB
To: Hillary Clinton <email@example.com> Subject: Re: Bill is going to be SO PISSED if I pull this off... hilarious.
Ha. Well, I certainly don't care if marital revenge is the motivation, just as long as you get an agreement on a two-state solution in time for the 2012 elections! BHO PS. Joe dropped by to say he had some "innovative" ideas for how get Netanyahu and Abbas to relax and get to know each other. Something about a road trip, a few nights at the Bellagio in Vegas, and some friend of his from Delaware called Joey, who "knows how to party like nobody else"? Anyway, I asked him to put it all in a memo and send it to you as a Powerpoint presentation, or a PDF file. Pretty sure he's got no clue how to do that, so you should be safe.

When in Rome..!
... for anyone other than her group. Highlights involve her intimidating a lady laying in the shade of the Vatican gardens by crowding us around her and when the lying lady finally moved, she encouraged everyone to come and stand where "the little Indian was", mocking a lady for filling up her 1.5 litre water bottle and insinuating that all the Asian tourists "may as well be blocks" as they are always in her way! hehe. The tour was amazing though - Vatican ...
No, Grazie...
... was allowed in. It is sooo beautiful, again I found it hard to comprehend it's age (and also that it was done by one man with a very tiny paintbrush), however it us undoubtedly the most stunning part of the Vatican (and there are lots of amazing ceiling and wall art). Sadly my feet weren't coping so well today, and I was really relieved when it was time to depart (there are so many people, and it is so hot!). From the Vatican, we walked on to The ...
The Levetts at the Colosseum
It was amazing! We had a great tour of 3 of the rings/levels and the underground. Our guide, Valentina, was lovely, very Italian and very passionate about the Colosseum. We were one of the few tours allowed down into the underground section where the Gladiators were forced to wait in the dark, along with numerous animals. George learnt that the floor of the ...
Rainy Rome
... along the streets fanning out from the Square, but most shops were selling rosary beads religious statues and pictures of the Pope. I did have a chuckle to see the shops selling heart medication which was endorsed by the Pope- there was even a picture of him on the packet! This new Pope certainly is full of surprises!! We wandered by the river where a market had started setting up now that the rain had disappeared. It was a really long day, so we were glad when it ...
Oops I Did It Again
... I was able to get some really close up pictures of him! I will post those ASAP.
They gave us the rest of the day to hang out in Rome, so we spent some time walking around doing some tourist shopping. We came back to the visit the Spanish Steps, and I believe we will be heading to the Trevi Fountain soon. Currently I am at a cafe/bar with a couple of buddies taking full advantage of the wifi. I will post again soon when I get then chance! Love and miss you all. ...

Add warmth to a porch or patio with the soft glow of this Americana inspired lantern design.More Details >
Inspired by architecture, the top of this outdoor light has a timeless tiered design. It features a bronze finish and cream frosted, textured glass.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Great product.
excellent product superior quality
These light were a warm addition to the outside of our house; front porch, back deck, and front of garage. Neighbors love them!
looks great on house and four car garage
Replaced our front porch light. This product is well-made, exactly as advertised, easy to install and beautiful. We will be buying 2 post lights next!
Well designed outdoor lamp of sturdy construction. This line of Franklin lamps in quite large....measure twice, buy once.
I had a handyman install the lights. I installed the 15-inch version on my front porch and three of the 12-inch lights on my back patio. These are nice looking, well-constructed lights.
I purchased four of these for both my front and back porch as well as a small bedroom deck. They are quite nice and work well with on our 100 year old bungalow. The item is NOT a hollowed out aluminum fixture; it is heavier than the average big-box-store fixture that uses smoke and mirrors to convince you of its quality. Item was very well packaged. The glass matches the fixture seamlessly and helps disperse light while being transparent enough to show off edison-style lights.
I used these light fixtures for the back yard deck area and one for our side porch……. This is a well made product and has some weight to it……. The only down fall would be the vibration in the glass…….. you can use silicone or two sided tape to make the glass more secure……… Installation pretty basic……. It looks really Sharp against my vertical Cedar siding……...
Installed fixtures on patio and they are very attractive. They are heavy and good quality. The glass was packaged separately and a little hard to install in the fixture and actually had to use clear silicone to hold the glass securely in the fixture, but happy with purchase. This glass should have been installed at the factory.
These are high quality, heavy pieces. The light they give off is an inviting warm glow, perfect for welcoming guests. Looks great with our newly installed mission style door. Great curb appeal!
Super excited about the quality of these lamps. I purchased 4 for the garage and can't wait to get them up. Durable, well made and solid construction. Can't speak to illumination or weathering since they're not up yet but I have high expectations.
These 9 lights are on our house, garage and garden shed. They look very stylish and attractive. They provide a beautiful outdoor ambience illuminating our yard,garden and walks with a soft golden glow. They were all packaged well and most were delivered in a timely manner.
We re-did our front porch and added rock to the wall. We put two of these lights, one on either side of our front door, and they look lovely. The soft golden glow of the lights enhances the texture of the rock wall behind them. I wish they took a 100 watt bulb instead of the 60 watt, but the soft glow is very attractive. The larger 15" size does take a 100 watt bulb, but they would have looked too large on our porch. The lights seem very well made, and the soft golden glass is very pretty with tiny bubbles in it.
I will use this 12" Hickory Point outdoor light on my garden shed because it matches all the other lights on my house and garage. Can't install it until the patio is dug up and redone with cement pavers because the electrical lines have to be buried. These lights look beautiful and stylish and provide a good amount of light to all ares of my home. They are standing up to weather well. I like them because I can use CFL bulbs and economize on energy costs.

West End firm Howard Kennedy is shaking up its practice. It is adding a new department, expanding its corporate team and refocusing its employment division.
The 68-partner firm has scooped partner Vernon Dennis from Edwin Coe to head a dedicated corporate recovery and reconstruction department.
Dennis, who was at Edwin Coe for two years, said the new service will be launched by the end of this month (February) and will be staffed by the firm's existing insolvency experts.
"There will be five core partners making up the main team, with me and another six partners in other service groups," said Dennis. "The service will provide credit and debt financial advice for those in difficulty while pursuing good business values."
The restructure has also seen the corporate arm expand with the hire of M&A partner Gerard Cranley, who leaves Penningtons after two years.
The employment department is undergoing a strategy overhaul by focusing on media and public sector employment. Pinsent Masons partner Jane Moorman, who specialises in the two new areas, took over the department from partner Andrea Nicholls last December.
Moorman, who left Pinsents after three years, said: "At the moment the practice tends to service the other departments, which of course is great, but I want to see employment become a standalone department with its own profile and clients."
The restructure comes after the firm launched a dedicated planning department upon securing former English Heritage legal chief Nigel Hewitson (The Lawyer, 31 July 2006).

Eurofins Grows Gene Synthesis Business with Entelechon Acquisition
Eurofins MWG Operon, the genomics division of Eurofins Scientific, said today it will expand its gene synthesis business through its acquisition of service provider Entelechon for an undisclosed price.
Entelechon's gene synthesis business and its brand were integrated into the Eurofins MWG Operon gene synthesis business unit as of June 1. Entelechon's customers include pharmaceutical companies as well as academic and public research institutes.
According to Entelechon's website, almost half of its customers (45%) are based in Germany, followed by 15 other European nations (22%), the U.K. (11%), the U.S. (8%) and the rest of the world (14%).
Markus Fischer, managing director of Entelechon, "will actively contribute to the integration of Entelechon into Eurofins," Eurofins said in a statement that added he will remain CEO of PolyQuant, an Entelechon spinoff involved in protein expression and quantitative proteomics.
Founded in 1999 in Regensburg, Germany, as one of the first companies to specialize in custom gene synthesis and synthetic biology, Entelechon carried out nearly half (45%) of its projects for medical biotech companies over the past five years, followed by plant biotechs (19%) and academic customers (18%).
In the statement, Fischer said the combined company will continue to offer the GENEius 2.0 software platform, designed to optimize and adapt amino acid or DNA sequences by adopting the codon usage of cloned DNA fragments. Its advantages, according to Eurofins, include avoidance of rare codons of the expressing organism, removal of unwanted motifs or secondary structures like repeat or hairpin structures, and the evening of distribution of G and C bases.
GENEius software was designed and developed for Eurofins by Biolink Informationstechnologie.
"Entelechon is an excellent strategic fit with Eurofins MWG Operon's genomic service offering, and their competence on gene synthesis services and synthetic biology complements our DNA synthesis and sequencing units in an excellent way, while providing us with additional tools to serve the fast-growing applied genetics markets," Bruno Poddevin, vp of Eurofins MWG Operon, said in the statement.

State Rep. Carter Casteel, R-New Braunfels, said the redistricting plan being debated — House Bill 3 — would keep Comal County in District 21, currently represented by Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio. "It leaves Comal County in good shape with someone we're familiar with," Casteel said of the plan, which state representatives began debating about 2 p.m. "The entire map reflects the makeup of the state? and follows the Voting Rights Act," Casteel said. She'supports the bill and expects it to pass. "But I'm not going to tell you it'll pass the Senate," she said. The Senate is conducting public hearings on redistricting before offering up its bill. State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, was in Corpus Christi Monday, conducting hearings on redis tricting. Tbday, a redistricting hearing was to be held in Dallas. When the House redistricting plan passes, it will be referred to the Senate Committee on Jurisprudence. Officials in Wentworth's office said the map in House Bill 3 would keep Comal County in District 21. Other counties in Smith's congressional district would be Guadalupe, Hays, part of Caldwell, the western half of Travis and a northeast slice of Bexar. Under the House bill. Smith would lose Menard, Mason, Llano, Burnet, Blanco, Gillespie, Kimble, Kerr, Bandera and Kendall counties.Special session addresses more than redistricting AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry's call for a special session goes far beyond the cont roversial redistricting issue. Perry added 28 issues to t he session's agenda, thus allowing the Texas House and Senate to consider legislation relating to any or all of those issues. M.L. Calaite, an aide to state Sen.

Kids in "Camp Invention" learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer BULVERDE — Elementary students who converged Monday upon "('amp Invention" will noon find that their own imaginations are the only limits to their creativity. Director Karen Williams, gifted and talented program coordinator at Comal Independent School District's Rahe Primary and Bulverde Elementary, said 76 campers showed up. Campers will rotate through five different modules by week's end — "Amazing Games," "I Can Invent," "Dig It," "Marble-ous Inventions" and "Planet Zak " Williams said Camp Invention is as unique as its name. "Students are able to take risks, experiment with ideas, and they're learning to ask questions," Williams said. Over on Planet Zak, students were building shelters out of cardboard wreckage of a simulated spaceship that crashed on the planet. They had to work in teams and use critical thinking and problem-solving skills, said teacher Nancy Sta-matakos.

"If everything goes as planned, flu? new southbound exit will open," Kopp said. Tonight's decking project comes after several weeks of the north/south artery being reduced to one lane while workers widened the roadway beneath the interstate. That project, which was to have been completed in about four weeks, ran a little long because of rainy weather, Kopp said. "We wanted to have it open by July Fourth, and we got it dona on the third," Kopp said. "With the weather we had, they did a pretty good job of it." Future work at the inter-secflon will include finishing up turnaround lanes and reheating the signal poles. Kopp said the work should lie done by the end of August.

4: CaughtMature
The password is "Parseltongue," Mitchie announced, as the portrait swung open to reveal a hidden room. We were far down in the dungeons, and it was cold and murky. It might be spooky if you were by yourself later in the night, but here with Rafe and his sister by my side, I found it pretty cool.
"Luckily, she's a prefect, so her duties will give us a break from her a lot of the time," Rafe whisper-laughed in my ear as Mitchie sauntered off to break up a couple making out on the couch.
I nodded my head. That would be nice, actually. As much as I did like his littler sister, it would be fun to get to know just Rafe better. He was a guy, and he was my age. Plus, he was incredibly cute, something I couldn't help but notice the more I looked at him.
"So what are we supposed to do tonight?" I asked.
He didn't respond, so I looked over at him. His face was red and he was biting his lip, looking like he was trying not to laugh. What is he . . . Oh!
"That didn't come out right," I laughed. "I meant what do people do for fun at night here, you pervert! Does everything always have to be some sort of sexual innuendo with men?"
"Oh, come on. Once you spend enough time at this school, you'll see I'm not a pig! That was actually very mild. And anyways, about what we do for fun. Well, different people do different things. As for me . . . sneaking out is my specialty."
I followed what Rafe had told me to do earlier and snuck out of my dorm, into the Slytherin common room and up the passageway to the left that was supposed to lead to his dorm. I found the fourth door on the right like he said, and I pushed it open, not bothering to knock.
As I opened my mouth to call for him, a hand clamped over my lips. The next thing I saw was Rafe's face in front of mine, holding a finger up to his lips, indicating that I should be quiet. I looked around the room and noticed that his roommates - three messy flops of hair sticking out from under the covers atop their pillows - were sleeping. I nodded my head in understanding and had removed his hand.
Rafe ushered me out of the room, closing the door behind him. We made our way back down to the empty common room. It was well past curfew by now, and everyone wanted a good night's sleep before the first day of classes. Everyone, except the two of us, apparently.
"So, where are we gonna go?" I asked just before he placed something on my head. I turned to see him holding a hat, and then place it on his own head. He disappeared from sight before my eyes, and I couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise.
"Invisibility Hats," he explained. "Bought them over the summer from the Weasley brothers joke shop in Diagon Alley, you know?"
I just shrugged, and we continued walking. I completely forgot the fact that he couldn't see my shrug. I was unphased by the time I realized it, however.
"Oh, right; back to where we're going to go," he whispered. We were in the great hall, heading for the main entrance to Hogwarts. I didn't think that was the most inconspicuous way to sneak out.
"Yeah?" I questioned.
"Well, I figured we'd go for a walk around the school, show you the Black Lake, the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Professor Hagrid and Madame Maxime's hut, and the Herbology greenhouses," Rafe explained.
When we reached the main doors, he took my elbow (how he found it while I was invisible, I'll never know) and guided me to the left of the entrance. We walked a few feet or so before running into a bookcase. He searched around on the bottom shelf for a moment before finding a purple book with silver writing, and pulling it down like a lever.
He pulled me closer to the bookcase as it revolved, and soon we were in another room. Well, I don't know if you could call it a room actually. It was more of a muddy hole.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" I asked uncertainly.
"You bet," he said, and I could practically hear the grin in his voice. Then, he reached up and took his hat off, and I did the same. He took his wand out of his pocket and pointed it upwards.
"Alohamora," he mumbled. Then, wrapping one arm securely around my waist with a quick whisper of "You don't mind, right?" and then pointed his wand in the same direction again.
This time, he said "Ascendio." and we were blasted through a grassy trap door that was just outside the castle. We were only a few feet away from the entrance, and I wondered if anybody else knew about this, and how Rafe found out about it.
He relocked the trap door and held out his hand for my hat. I gave it to him and he shrunk them to the size of silver sickles before placing them in his pocket. Wow, this was one . . . resourceful wizard, if I do say so myself.
"Wow," I said impressed.
"I know, Sid . . . I'm pretty amazing," he teased. "Let's go visit Hagrid and Maxime first, okay? They've always got a plate of rock cakes waiting for me."
So we wandered side-by-side down the lawn towards a tiny little hut. I wondered how two people could actually live there together. Through a small square, which I assumed was a window from this distance, a dull yellow light flickered through and I guessed they had a fire going. That was nice, I suppose. It was only the beginning of September, but the wind was kind of crisp.
We walked in silence, and every few moments, Rafe's fingers would brush against mine . . . by accident, of course. I didn't mind though. Everything was just so peaceful. It was nice to just enjoy the quiet and take in all my surroundings.
"Hey, you two!" a deep, stern voice called. "What are you doing out here?"
I turned on my heels, not daring to breathe, to face my soon-to-be punisher. Great, I hadn't even been here one full night yet and I was already probably going to get expelled for sneaking out!
Rafe addressed the man before I even recognized him. "I'm so sorry Professor Malfoy, sir. It's just that it's Sid's first night here and I wanted to show her around outside before her first day of classes so that she wouldn't get lost tomorrow, and we were -"
"Just on your way to visit the Care of Magical Creatures professors?" Mr. Malfoy asked. I sighed in relief that it was him. At least he was nice (not to mention incredibly gorgeous) so whatever punishment he had for me couldn't be too terrible, right?
"Well . . . " Rafe admitted, at a loss for words.
"You may go back to your dormitory, young man," Mr. Malfoy dismissed. I started to follow Rafe when I was called back. "But as for you, I would like to point out some of the rules here at Hogwarts since - as your friend so kindly pointed out - you're new here. I would have waited until tomorrow but it seems now is as good a time as any, don't you agree Miss Greene?"
I gave a reassuring smile to Rafe and he trotted on back up to the castle. I thought it was kind of funny that Mr. Malfoy wasn't worrying about how he would get in, considering all the doors were locked, and we'd come through a secret passageway.
"You've barely been here a few hours and you've already -"
"Gotten myself into trouble, I know," I finished for Mr. Malfoy.
He laughed, and I marveled at his whiter than white smile. How did someone acquire such perfect teeth?
"Actually I was going to say, that you've already found yourself a boyfriend," he grinned and I knew he was playing around with me.
However, I still felt the need to correct him. "Rafe and I are just friends. What he told you was actually pretty much the truth."
"Well, I hope you didn't get to far around the grounds, because I was actually wanting to show you around. As the Head of your House and everything, I figured it was my job," Mr. Malfoy said. I was more than a little surprised.
"O-Okay," I stuttered dumbly. Could you really blame me for going weak at the knees around him.
"I think it best we not bother those two though," he pointed toward the hut. "Hagrid told me he had a very special midnight surprise planned for he and his wifey tonight."
I shivered. "I know what you mean," he said. "Gives me the heeby-jeebies, too."
"So . . . shall we?" I asked, looking up at him.
He smiled and nodded, heading towards the opposite direction. I saw something vast and dark in the distance. Maybe it was the . . . lake?
Something occurred to me, then. If Mr. Malfoy wasn't actually mad at us, then why did he send Rafe back to the castle?

In the legal world, there are many terms that have been created to represent a more complicated concept. For example, the word "tort" is an older legal term that still exists, and it refers to a personal injury that can result in a civil claim. While some personal injury cases can result in criminal charges, such as assault, other cases are only a matter of a civil disagreement that does not result in criminal charges. For the non-criminal cases, the negligent acts are unintentional, but they still result in an injury.
There are two types of torts: intentional and unintentional. The intentional torts often fall into the criminal category and include acts such as assault and homicide. The unintentional torts fall into the category of non-criminal acts and include such incidents as car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and medical malpractice cases. In both cases, the injured party must prove that their injuries were the result of the intentional or unintentional negligence of the defendant. It sounds easy to prove negligence, but it can sometimes be more difficult than it sounds.
In a case involving tort law, there are usually three types of financial damages the injured party claims: the loss of wages both current and future (depending on the severity of the incident), pain and suffering, and medical expenses. With tort law, negligence is determined by the court, and the decision can be appealed. Under tort law in Texas, medical expenses are awarded based on a reasonable expectation. If there are long-term medical issues, then the tort law in Texas allows for a judge or jury to award more than just the cost of the immediate medical expenses.
In tort law, negligence is taken very seriously. In almost every state, there is no hard-and-fast guide to deciding negligence in a tort law case. The decisions of juries and judges are based on previous cases with similar foundations, and the tort laws wind up being a patchwork of cases that have happened in the past. It is important that the attorney you choose to argue your tort law case understands all of the precedents set for your case and can present examples to the court that will help you to win your case.
The prime purpose of tort law is to punish people who have caused harm to others but have not broken any laws. At the same time, tort law in Texas and every other state allows civil tort cases to be argued along with criminal cases for the same defendant. If the defendant was found innocent by a criminal court, then the defendant could still be found guilty under tort law and face stiff financial penalties. In this way, tort law allows people who have been wronged by others to punish those who have committed hurtful acts, even if the criminal justice system will not hand down a punishment.

I write about Dad a lot, but this time I want to write a few words about Mom. I love Mom. She is a great person. She always pets me and talks to me. She lets us out of the kennel almost every morning. When Dad is sick or sometimes when he's tired Mom puts us to bed. She usually puts some gravy or broth on our food. I love Mom. Mom doesn't usually scooter with us, but sometimes she goes for a ride with us. I try to be a gentleman when Mom goes. I won't get in the truck until she's saftely in. If she follows us in the truck I make sure she is following ok and doesn't get lost. I love Mom.
I have been really busy leading the team. Yesterday Kelsea, Dad's Granddaughter brought some friends over. The team and I gave them all scooter rides on the street in front of or house. I tried to tell them to wait till today because snow was coming, but they wanted to ride.
Today I lead the team up and down the road giving Dad and others rides. I hate going back and forth on the road. We only do it because we love dad.
Last Monday night when dad fed us and put us to bed, I knew we were going to go for a run in the morning. I didn't even need a crystal ball to know. I knew because dad fed us home made turkey and rice soup. I love Dad's turkey and rice soup.
When we got up on Tuesday, dad loaded us in our truck and drove us to Lake Sylvia. Yuki and Cassidy and my 3 boys, Levi, Nick and Jordan were there. Yuki pulled Cassidy's scooter, Nook pulled Levi and sometimes Nick, Kia pulled Nick and sometimes Jordan. Sasha and I got to pull Dad. It was wet and muddy. I love to pull dad when it's wet and muddy. Sasha and I either stop so dad has to put his feet down in a deep mud hole or we pull him thru them as fast as we can so he gets all covered with mud... It's great fun....

text: So, i got a speeding ticket today, this is my first ticket I've ever gotten, and i have been proud of that. Today i took my truck in to a shop to see what the problem was with my truck. And when i was leaving, i came out of the shop, and drove 450 meters or 492 yards (and in that 450 meters there is a set of train tracks), and i got flagged into a parking lot, and the cop said i was doing 75km/h(46mph), the speed limit is 50km/h(31mph). So, in 450 meters, i got going 46mph, i've never sped 25kmh over the speed limit. Not even when i'm in a rush. Here's a google maps of where i drove, until where i got flagged in. A is the shop, B is where i was when the officer flagged me in, and C is where the officer was with the radar. http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sour...5479,-104.5948&spn=0.008535,0.022724&t=h&z=16 What can i do to try and win?
