At the Bank of Canada, policy is presented a fait accompli. At the Federal Reserve, the debate takes place in the light of day.
Take Minneapolis Fed president Narayana Kocherlakota's speech Wednesday in Great Falls, Mont.
Mr. Kocherlakota, who holds one of 12 votes on the Fed's policy committee, was pushing an idea that he thinks would improve U.S. monetary policy – something he calls his "liftoff plan."
In essence, Mr. Kocherlakota thinks the Fed's already rather explicit path for interest rates can be made even more so. Currently, the Fed says it "expects that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens." Mr. Kocherlakota would sharpen that conditional pledge to say: "As long as the [Federal Open Market Committee] satisfies its price stability mandate, it should keep the fed funds rate extraordinarily low until the unemployment rate has fallen below 5.5 per cent."
Mr. Kocherlakota has emerged as an intriguing figure at the Fed.
Wall Street most closely watches Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and his two most senior deputies, New York Fed president William Dudley and Janet Yellen, the No. 2 to Mr. Bernanke at the Washington-based Federal Reserve Board. But Mr. Kocherlakota has come to embody the U.S. central bank's shift from wariness about a third quantitative easing program to nearly full embrace at last month's policy meeting. Last year, Mr. Kocherlakota opposed various stimulus measures. Now, he argues that the Fed should do even more.
The philosophy behind the Fed's pledge to leave borrowing costs low, contingent on the inflation outlook, is meant to stir the animal spirits of consumers and executives. Mr. Kocherlakota believes this could be done better with a more explicit pledge. His reasoning is straightforward: If the public believes the Fed will begin raising interest rates when the unemployment rate drops to 7 per cent, it will borrow and spend less than it would if it believed the Fed would begin raising borrowing costs when the jobless rate drops to 6 per cent.
The Fed "can provide more current stimulus if people believe that liftoff will be triggered by a lower unemployment rate," Mr. Kocherlakota said Wednesday.
The Bank of Canada deployed a similar strategy effectively during the financial crisis, pledging to keep its benchmark rate at a rock-bottom level for about a year, so long as inflation remained under control. However, the Bank of Canada benefited from having an established numerical inflation target. The Fed only recently adopted a 2 per cent target for inflation – and it lacks explicit guidance on the unemployment rate it associates with its mandate to achieve "maximum employment."
Mr. Kocherlakota's proposal would correct that, at least temporarily. He said recent history suggests that it's unlikely that an unemployment rate higher than 5.5 per cent would trigger annual inflation over the medium term of more than 2.25 per cent. Mr. Kocherlakota also would make clear that the Fed would tolerate inflation that crept a quarter point above the 2 per cent target, which would mimic the Bank of Canada's target band for inflation of 1 per cent to 3 per cent.
"My plan maintains price stability as a cornerstone while also promoting a quicker recovery," he said.
That's not yet the consensus view at the Fed; perhaps not even close. But Mr. Bernanke says he's interested in further refining the Fed's communications strategy, which currently states that policy makers intend to keep the benchmark rate near zero until at least mid-2015. Mr. Kocherlakota has time to win converts.Report Typo/Error

My den: it's my sanctuary
My house is in a neighbour with pizzerias, supermarkets, the bar "Mariuccia" (very well know in Cagliari), a daily market that offers interesting insights into the peculiar foods and artcafts of Sardinia: all this is a 10 minutes walk or a 2 minutes drive from home.
Seacoast is very close to my house: the nearest and beautiful beach, the "Poetto" is 15 minutes away from the house.
Cagliari allows to easily choose (or enjoy both) between the city nightlife, and more relaxed and intimistic experiences on quite desert beaches, untouched nature and beautiful countryside.

US Week in Review - Week ending 5 September 2013
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by EY.
What's new from EY
Technical Line: How to apply S-X Rule 3-14 and the latest SEC staff guidance to real estate acquisitions
The SEC staff in the Division of Corporation Finance recently revised its guidance on the S-X Rule 3-14 reporting requirements for acquisitions of real estate operations and probable acquisitions. Application of the rule has been subject to various interpretations by the SEC staff, preparers and their advisers over the years. Our Technical Line publication describes the staff's revisions and provides information to help registrants contemplating real estate acquisitions or initial SEC registrations of real estate investment trusts interpret and apply the rule.
Technical Line: A closer look at the new lease accounting proposal - telecommunications
The FASB and the IASB have issued exposure drafts that would require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from their involvement in most leases. The proposal would significantly change the accounting for leases and could have far-reaching implications for telecom companies' finances and operations.
This Technical Line publication discusses the effect of the proposal on telecommunication companies and supplements our general Technical Lines, A closer look at the new lease accounting proposal and How the lease accounting proposal might affect your company. Comments are due by 13 September 2013.

4 September 2013 FASB meeting
Not-for-profit financial reporting: financial statements - The FASB tentatively decided that net assets should be classified as either those with donor-imposed restrictions or those without donor-imposed restrictions. As a result, the existing classes of unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted net assets would be eliminated. The Board also decided to require entities to disclose information about the composition of net assets, including differences in how and when net assets with donor-imposed restrictions can be used and any board designations imposed on net assets without donor-imposed restrictions or board authorizations to use these net assets. The FASB plans to issue an exposure draft in the first half of 2014.

When I was a wee lad, growing up in Cornwall (amongst other places), my parents decided one year that a trip to the Canary Islands was something that we as a family needed to undertake. Presumably for vitamin D reasons.
This was the longest flight I can remember taking up to that point, and the wonders of that trip, including discovering burning rubbish dumps that we thought might be active volcano's, learning not to run on glass coated beaches in bare feet, and the joys of the package holiday experience, have stuck with me forever.
(It wasn't that bad, although those things did take place. Away from the madding crowd, Lanzarote was host to some spectacular sights and wonderful deserted bits. I expect it still is.)
That trip will be forever cemented in my mind. Fast forward from the first destination I can remember that may be responsible for setting me down the path towards independent travel, and find me in 2012, planning my travels for the year ahead.
I've come up with some destinations for the year that I'd love to visit. In no particular order, these are:
Ever since I joined the addictive social sharing site Pinterest (feel free to follow me.. or ask for an invite to find out what the fuss is all about), more and more amazing photos from Iceland have cropped up in my photostream. Photos like this:
This is the land of northern lights, glaciers, steaming pools and quite incredible looking waterfalls. And foodstuffs so weird that I'm just bound to make myself sick trying them.
It's not exactly on the cheap side, but the cost of travel to Iceland from Europe is certainly affordable. If I can work out how to get there on a reasonable budget, then it's way up there on my to-do list for 2012.
I've already waxed lyrical about Paris. Recently watching the excellent Woody Allen film Midnight In Paris has awakened a desire to re-visit this city. This time I want to get a bit more off the beaten track and explore some of the parts that I've not had time to get acquainted with. I'd love to hear your tips on those in the comments at the end!
Now that I'm living in continental Europe, there is a lot around me to explore. Somehow, I've never quite made it to Barcelona, a failure I aim to rectify now it's a short (well, less than a day!) drive or train journey away. Gotta love that European rail network thing!
Somewhere in the camper van
We went through a whole German adventure to get ourselves a vehicle that was suitable for conversion into a rolling hotel on wheels. With any luck, this year we'll be able to realise the conversion dream and set off somewhere exciting in her for a while. I'm thinking of Spain and Portugal, or perhaps Italy, or maybe even Eastern Europe.
There are a lot of roads out there. And frankly, as long as wherever we go has giant mountains to climb up or beaches to meander along, I'm going to be happy.
Somewhere warmer for winter!
Maybe I shouldn't be discounting those Canaries holidays after all, given that warm, cheap holidays are what I'm after this winter.
I have just suffered (bless) my way through two winters in a row as a result of some rather terrible hemisphere planning. This winter I'm determined not to let that happen again. Or at least, I'd like some sun to mix up the wintery days.
This will probably be the biggest trip of the year, and I'm hoping for something exciting to happen at the end of 2012 or the beginning of 2013. I'm thinking Asia, or South America, but frankly, anywhere warm and not too exorbitantly priced will do. Maybe I'll find someone who wants me to housesit for them in a glorious climate, and take it from there… (applications on a postcard please!).
What are your plans for 2012? Do any of the above options ring a bell with you, or have you already got some other exciting destination in mind? Share your thoughts, or your posts on the subject, in the comments below!
As I've not yet had the pleasure of visiting all the places in this post, some of the photos on this page aren't mine. I hope to be able to change that soon! In the meantime though, photo credit goes to: Senior Airman Joshua Strang, for the northern lights shot, Stuck in Customs' for the shot of Gulfloss waterfall in Iceland and MorBCN for the Barcelona shot.

Jolly good show, Britain
In one unforgettable night for a nation, the Olympic Games and host Britain were the best they can be.
Three British athletes - Jessica Ennis (heptathlon), Greg Rutherford (men's high jump) and Mo Farah (men's 10,000 meters) - each won gold in Olympic Stadium in a delirious 44-minute spell that produced the signature moment of the London Games.
"I'm worried I'm going to wake up in a minute and this ain't going to be real," Rutherford said.
Counting two golds from the rowers and another from women's track cycling on Saturday, Britain's total for the day was six. For the games, its haul so far is 14 golds, seven silver and eight bronze, for a total of 29. Only China, with 53 medals, and the U.S., the leader with 54, have more.
"Team GB's gluttonous desire for gold shows no sign of being sated," said London mayor Boris Johnson. "Their extraordinary efforts have brought rapture to streets, parks and living rooms in London and all over the country, if not the planet."
'Blade Runner' advances
Hours before the British invasion, the stadium belonged to Oscar Pistorius, the "Blade Runner" from South Africa who made history simply by lining up in the men's 400, the first amputee to compete in Olympic track.
Pistorius, who runs on carbon-fiber blades, booked a return date into today's semifinals after finishing second in his heat in 45.44.
"I've worked for six years ... to get my chance," Pistorius said. "I found myself smiling in the starting block. Which is very rare in the 400 meters."
By the numbers
Before Serena Williams' 6-0, 6-1 win over Maria Sharapova on Saturday, the most one-sided previous women's final was in 1920, when Suzanne Lenglen of France beat Dorothy Holman of Britain 6-3, 6-0.
Gates a beach volleyball junkie
Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates watched beach volleyball on Saturday night and saw Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor eliminate the Netherlands before the bells in Big Ben's clock tower could toll the half-hour.
"That is the Kerri and Misty people come to see," May-Treanor said after advancing to the Olympic quarterfinals with a 21-13, 21-12 victory in 30 minutes over Marleen van Iersel and Sanne Keizer.
Gates and his wife, Melinda, also attended beach volleyball in Sydney and Beijing.
"I'm sure he's going to be around, but not in the pool where we like him best."
- Matt Grevers, who trains in Tucson, about Michael Phelps' retirement. Grevers and Phelps helped the U.S. men's 4x100 medley relay team win gold on Saturday.

This is a kind of shooting game. You are a red cannon. Destroy monsters whose heads are brown and have 8 legs. By left side buttons, you can move around. By right side button, you shoot quoits. By swiping the screen, you change shooting direction. Boxes in front are shields. Get as many score as you can within 180 sec.
Hint) To destroy a monster, the quoits have to hit its brown head. A monster has green legs, which are also bullets. A monster starts shooting bullets, after certain time. A bullet can destroy shields and your cannon. If a bullet hits a cannon, you lose your lives. To throw a quoit far away, you need to change the direction of cannon, by swiping the screen. (It should be changed to point upwards.)
I wrote a blog about this game development.

Thomas David "T.D." Mischke (born September 19, 1962) is a Minnesota writer, musician, and former radio talk show host on WCCO NewsRadio 830 based in Minneapolis. He was formerly employed at City Pages, a Twin Cities alternative news, arts and entertainment publication. For 17 years he hosted The Mischke Broadcast on am1500 KSTP, until it was cancelled in December 2008. His show featured quirky regular callers, stream of consciousness humor, and experts on any topic he found interesting. Since 1998, Mischke has been the winner of the "Best AM Radio Personality" award given by the local weekly alternative newspaper City Pages nine times.
Mischke hosted a daily webcast entitled In the Stream for City Pages from March 2009 until February 2010. He was most recently the host of The Nite Show weekdays from 10 PM to Midnight on WCCO Radio. His final show on WCCO was August 1, 2013.
In May 2014 Mischke launched the "The Mischke Roadshow" podcast on the Tom Barnard Podcast Network. The weekly podcast features interviews, music and comedy bits.
Early life[edit]
Mischke was born into a large Catholic family of six boys and two girls. He grew up in St. Paul's Groveland Park neighborhood. After a stint at Cretin High School, he graduated from Highland Park Senior High.[1] He attended Saint John's University, the alma mater of his father and grandfather, planning to follow in his father's footsteps with a degree in journalism. Finding no journalism program at St. John's, he transferred to the University of St. Thomas where he graduated in 1987 and became a freelance writer.[citation needed]
Broadcasting career[edit]
In 1986–1987, Mischke was known as "The Phantom Caller" on Don Vogel's show, where he would randomly call in (without identifying himself) with tightly-written, sixty-second comedic bits. He so amused the radio personality that he was invited to become Don's sidekick on his show, Afternoon Saloon, on KSTP in 1992, during Vogel's second stint in the Twin Cities. After the stint as a sidekick, Mischke was given his own program on am1500 in January 1994.
On December 15, 2004, Mischke released Whistle Stop, a collection of his music. He performed on fellow Twin Cities broadcaster Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion on the September 2, 2006 show.[2]
On January 3, 2006, the Mischke Broadcast returned from the Christmas hiatus to a new timeslot and an altered format. The new hours, a late drive-time shift of 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, prompted the new format, the station banning many of the trademark Mischke bits including his prank 411 calls and the pockets of dead air that would occasionally fill large portions of his show. Mischke, in announcing the change, said, "the Mischke Broadcast, as you know it, is finished," though he assured listeners the move was a positive one for both him and KSTP.
Mischke released his second CD, "That Kind of Day" on December 4, 2008.
Mischke was abruptly fired by KSTP on December 5, 2008 for making a phone call on the air without first getting the recipient's permission,[3] an FCC violation[4] Mischke said he'd made before.[5]
Mischke hosted a daily webcast for the weekly Twin Cities alternative newspaper City Pages.[6] The show, entitled In the Stream, premiered on March 4, 2009. Mischke ended the webcast on February 4, 2010, but continues his weekly column for City Pages.
Mischke started a new radio show on May 10, 2010 10pm-Midnight, Mon-Thurs on WCCO 830 on the AM dial. On August 1, 2013, Mischke did his final radio show at WCCO.

I like a woman who can play with the big boys and I'm not talking about weight. This week's Hot or Not selection is co-starring in HYDE PARK ON HUDSON with the infamously talented goon, Bill Murray. Doing a period piece with a man who has a reputation of hard-to-track-down-edness is trying in and of itself. Making it a biopic about a specific period of time in FDR's life calls for a big hitter of her own right.
Laura Linney
Seeing as how the studios tried to sell Linney as another icy blonde in mid-1990's movies like CONGO and PRIMAL FEAR, really didn't do her much justice in the hottie department. This was a woman who was supposed to inspire fear, a sense of manliness in a skirt. She wasn't seen as being a festival for the eyes, a victim of the strange tides that were turning regarding femininity and power during that period of American history. (I blame Hilary Clinton.) It took until THE TRUMAN SHOW for us to start seeing the cracks in that manufactured facade and the real, lively and sexy, Linney seep out.
She's still the steady character in most movies, the mom, the sister, the hard-working stiff who can't catch a break. In YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, I saw in Laura the thing that I see in myself - a woman who doesn't try to put labels on herself and just works her ass off to get shit done. Perhaps it's an egotistical thing to think that sort of attribute is hot, but I do. Faulty personalities with iron-strong work ethics are hot, female or male perspective.
I think I'm also drawn to Linney because she's an Aquarius like myself. That and the fact that she's going to be turning 49-years old soon and still looks as crisp and fresh as she did when she was younger. When you think about the fact that the majority of her career in film and movies came when she was in her 30's and that she's finally coming into more recognition and appreciation just recently (she's been blowing everyone away on "The Big C") that's got to count for something. I think that she's hot. I think that her being hotter in what are considered the declining years of age for a woman in her profession is even hotter.
What do you think of Laura Linney?

The capital's shoe shoppers used to approach a branch of Clarks as they might a Posh Cheddar and Pickle baguette from Pret: with a firm knowledge of what to expect. After all, it's never been a fashion destination known for sartorial surprises. Rather, it's been an institution that dependably delivers Desert Boots and Wallabies to one part of the population, while trying to woo the other with less invigorating alternatives.
"Clarks has always seemed like a bit of an enigma to me," says Ian Wright, fashion director at Draper's Record. "I find it rather schizophrenic, as it pursues a new customer while being afraid to lose the old — never the twain shall the two contrasting areas of the business meet."
Port magazine's online editor David Hellqvist found an equally polarised offering in store, noting that while Clarks is undoubtedly popular for its no-nonsense shoes, it's the cult Desert Boots and deep association with British subculture that attracts most interest. "Clarks are timeless and part of pop culture history," says Hellqvist, citing the brand's longstanding relationship with Northern Soul music — and latterly in Kingston, Jamaica, hip-hop. These days, Clarks has more to offer. The chain — which was founded in Somerset in 1825 by brothers Cyrus and James Clark — has grown savvy to the benefits of showboating its Anglo-Saxon roots in order to capture the attention of a more youthful customer.
The result has been several successful collaborations — for both men and women — with fellow Brit brands. These include producing designs with the achingly cool YMC and Eley Kishimoto.
"A lot of effort has gone into attracting a more style-conscious customer," says journalist Mark Palmer, who recently published Made to Last, a book that charts the history of Clarks as Britain's best known shoe firm. "I think people trust the brand; the fact that it is British and privately owned, not part of some dreadful corporate portfolio."
Dan Hasby-Oliver, Global Men's Trends Analyst for the chain, is determined to convince customers of Clarks' broadening remit. This is true not just where collaborations with other brands are concerned but as a fashion destination in its own right. From brogues to oxfords and perfectly formed loafers, the store has bridged the gap between sensible shoes and subculture.
"Clarks mainline now speaks to a wider audience," he says, convinced of the brand's ability to deliver shoes to a menswear customer that spends his cash on £300 brogues from Grenson or Church's.
"I worked to identify key colours and materials so Clarks has both the style and the substance to compete," says Hasby-Oliver, who believes it is Clarks' ability to offer authenticity, heritage and quality that puts it miles ahead of the rest of the high street.
"Customers may have preconceived ideas of what Clarks is about," he adds, "but we have a great story to tell, and we are just beginning to tell it."
Clarks: Made to Last, by Mark Palmer, is out now.

2nd one is way better, but the extension on the P and the E killllll it
ok ill eliminate the extension on the P but i honestly dont know what you mean with the extension on the E considering its more or less an elongated square
Have you considered sticking to all upper or all lower case letters?. The best two tips I ever got were keep you letters all the same case and to keep your letters all the same size. Or at least be aware of these factors.
The entire last page is dedicated to mcsatan... you can't possibly need that many crits for a throw.
I hate my name.
lol I'll mix it up from Satan. I need some work on my S...
hmm i like the S but the second E i dont like it whit that tongue do it like the first E
And lol satan need many help.
well lawlcat considering i posted 5different throws,and i've never done a throw at least i'm working on it instead of bitching on the internet cause someone is filling a forum page
that being said
i eliminated the extension on the P and put in a lower case E instead couldn't quite get an uppercase to work, and again crits please
new throw I never got any crits on... what should I fix/improve?
McSatan...what the fuck. Sike I'm just playin... work on the e way more.
You see how this e looks? YOU CAN SEE THE LEFT SIDE OF IT. WORK ON THAT. And work on the center of your H a bit more.
And Seor make the bottom left bar of the R smaller, it makes the whole thing weird. Keep it the same size as the other leg of the R. If that's a 1 a the end, don't have the bottom bar become a circle and go into it. It would look better like ) that except on the bottom of it. And for your S, work on the bottom of it. It just doesn't look right, mostly the little space inside of it. I just don't feel it, turn it or bend it differently or something haha
yeah im not too reliable as far as crits go but hell the toy as fuck guy has to try helping out sometimes
emace1 that e is a bit fucked up, especially the left side of it and yout right the 3d is messed up but as far as i can see it all has to do with can control and taking your time
can i get some crits on this?
Try not to have your letters increase in size too much like that.
oh shit i didnt even notice i was doing that, thanks
any progression here? crits?

On October 16, 1957, Albert Camus was dining in a small restaurant on Paris' Left Bank when a waiter approached him with news: the radio had just announced that Camus had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Camus insisted that a mistake had been made and that others were far more deserving of the honor than he. Yet Camus was already recognized around the world as the voice of a generation - a status he had achieved with dizzying speed. He published his first novel, The Stranger, in 1942 and emerged from the war as the spokesperson for the Resistance and, although he consistently rejected the label, for existentialism. Subsequent works of fiction (including the novels The Plague and The Fall), philosophy (notably, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel), drama, and social criticism secured his literary and intellectual reputation. And then on January 4, 1960, three years after accepting the Nobel Prize, he was killed in a car accident.
In a book distinguished by clarity and passion, Robert Zaretsky considers why Albert Camus mattered in his own lifetime and continues to matter today, focusing on key moments that shaped Camus' development as a writer, a public intellectual, and a man.
The book was published by Cornell University Press.

"Probably a good book -- not a very good reader"
Wish I would have just bought the print book. The reader is awkward and stiff and distracting to listen to.
definitely not
sir horne's hubris

ZombieRobot Wrote:will add studio logos in next release 0.5 also have modded some of the origional views and added recently added music and recently added album toggle between the two,new codec/studio flags
The new slim media view looks awesome. A good balance between information and "slimness". Would it be possible to have clearart
support, or is that to heavy on cpu resources? The skin is absolutely perfect for atv2, i have tried a few other skins, but none work as flawless and fast as this one, but i sure miss clearart
- stephenchow - 2011-08-11 10:44
how to install ? install with zip fie? i pich up to my var/mobile? then install from this?
i dont see the way to install it ?
- allanivan - 2011-08-11 16:23
Hey stephenchow
Put the zip in var/mobile, then in xbmc go to addons, then choose install from zip, then the browser opens up, and you should see the zip file (probably called something like skin.zstream.zip, just choose that file, wait a few seconds and xbmc will ask you if you wanna change to the zstream skin.

- homerjs - 2011-12-02 21:16
too bad...excellent skin, have tried basically every other skin for my atv2 and this by far is the best. Will keep using it regardless of the fact that there will be no updates. Thanks for the hard work in creating this, greatly appreciated

• What's that? Why, a tyre-squealing, road-gouging, gravity-defying beauty of a handbrake turn. And the driver is culture secretary Maria Miller. Last week, in a letter to the Guardian explaining why she's had to get rid of knowledgeable, long-serving and highly praised equality commissioners, she said the problem was that the body had proved a bit of a turkey. "Since its creation in 2007," she said, "it has struggled to deliver across its remit or inspire confidence in its governance, expertise or ability to deliver high-quality work at good value for the taxpayer. The noble aims … became lost in the mire." There was more: "We'll get new people. This, coupled with a sharper focus, will leave us with an organisation that has public credibility and can challenge the government and other public bodies with authority." That letter caused a hell of a fuss and a stinging reply from the commissioners, retained and departing. And so, quietly dispatched for restricted circulation, there is another letter from the minister: "It is to the great credit of current commissioners and staff that since 2010 so much progress has been made in improving the EHRC's financial management to the extent that the last two sets of accounts were cleared by the National Audit Office and significant cost savings have been achieved. I am grateful to the commissioners for their work to achieve this and their work more broadly." The EHRC has, she says, "produced some important work in recent times, notably its inquiries on disability-related harassment and the home care of older people". The lady is for turning.
• Yes, lots behind the scenes, and it means an interesting start for Baroness O'Neill, who took office on Monday. What kind of chair will she be? Well, last week we referenced her speech called the Dark Side of Human Rights, and there are those who fear her commission won't be excessively troublesome to government. There were optimists who sought to persuade ministers of the vigorous future the commission might have under such as Shami Chakrabarti of Liberty. But the notion fell on stony ground. Two reasons. No one supposed Chakrabarti would leave Liberty for the misery of the EHRC under coalition stewardship. And vigorous rule? That's the last thing ministers need.
• We need clarity. And in the week that a key figure in the PM's big society project says the whole thing has been a big flop, we turn to coalition sage Oliver Letwin to define it. Prospect magazine reports his recent effort at the University of London. "Can you define art in a sentence?" pondered other-worldly Olly. "Or Great Britain?" He does need his nap in the afternoons.
• Yes, we need clarity, for there are strange phenomena at work. One minute our man Terry Macalister is invited to an energy correspondents' dinner, a grand affair at a Mayfair hotel courtesy of power company Centrica. Then, after his groundbreaking work highlighting possible manipulation of gas prices by energy firms or other investors, he finds himself disinvited with no explanation given. No one can quite understand it.
• Finally, when Oscar Wilde's grandson, Merlin Holland, published his reconstruction of Wilde's libel action against the Marquess of Queensberry in 2003, he launched the book with dramatised highlights of Oscar's cross-examination by Edward Carson. It showed how, with witticisms too many, Oscar effectively talked himself into jail. Over the next few years the two-hander was occasionally revived, with Holland playing Oscar to someone else's Carson. Until 2008, when a performance in Lausanne to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Law Faculty coincided with a violent thunderstorm that blew the lights in the courtroom. "At almost precisely the same moment," says Holland, "another, equally violent storm plunged my wife into darkness in France." Wilde had belief in the supernatural. Merlin has restricted his performances ever since. But life is risk, so next week Holland and Roy Amlot QC take the script to the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, to fundraise for the Oscar Wilde Education Project, which works to keep children out of prison. If the lights crash out, they'll know it was a bad idea.
Twitter: @hugh_muir
• This article was amended on 15 November 2012. A letter from Maria Miller quoted in the first item said much progress had been made in improving the EHRC's financial management since 2010, not since 2012 as this article originally had it.

My boyfriend and I separated due to his infidelity. I'm so over it and i want to be back happy with my body. Now when I go to the mall; I mainly buy shoes due to the fact I have to buy shirt bigger to hide my love handles.

At first my mom was against it because she felt like I was doing it for the wrong reason until I explainedit to her. My childhood friend will be assisting me and also taking a vacation lol.

Patrick Demarchelier shoots model Miranda Kerr in this months W Magazine. The 6 month pregnant supermodel discusses family life with Mr. Orlando Bloom.
"For me, family is life, The decision to start one wasn't complex at all." Kerr, whose stealth wedding to actor Orlando Bloom this past July caught even the paparazzi off guard, was in Paris shooting a Jil Sander campaign when she found out she was pregnant. "I was wondering why I'd been so sick." Kerr and Bloom have opted not to be told their child's sex. "We're keeping it a surprise," she says. Though her modeling stock has risen (she's currently fronting campaigns for Jil Sander, Prada, and Victoria's Secret), Kerr has no issues with putting her professional ambitions on hold. "My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work." As for the long-term future, the Aussie native has conceived a rustic plan for domestic bliss: "My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there."

What to do??
Am running a 408cid sbc in a 1983 Chevy 4x4. It has a Scat crank, Scat 6" rods, KB 2-valve flat tops, World Products S/R torquer heads, Comp Cams 282/286 .510/.520 hydraulic roller, Weiand X-celerator port-matched intake with a 1" 4 hole spacer and a Demon 750VE carb. Due to some of the guides being bad, I was going to have the heads redone along with a port and a 5-angle valve job. The heads already have 1.46 springs with 10-degree retainers and locks with Crane 1.5 rollers. I also have an Edlebrock Performer Rpm intake on the shelf also. I have to run stock-style heads and pull 15" vacuum to run in my class. I thought about going vortech heads but having to change so much, I thought about bare Sportsman II's and putting the valvetrain from the S/R's in them. The Mrs. will let me spend about $750 so i'm looking from you guys what you would do with a limited budget.
I would defantely go with the Vortecs, the assembeled heads able to support .525 lift are $ 650 from scoggin dickey. Other than that all you would have to buy in an intake manifold and valve covers. If you sell your heads and intake, it will be cheaper in the long run. The Vortec heads will make more hp than the S/R's anyway.
Good luck
Check with Scoggin, GM had a Vortec Oval Track head on display that has both intake bolt patterns so would have to change, just a little matching.

COLUMBUS -- Attorney General Mike DeWine says his office will be ready to help local prosecutors shut down sweepstakes parlors, barring a ballot initiative to stop a new state law from taking effect in September.
"They're not going to all go away overnight," he said. "... But we'll get rid of them pretty quickly."
Earlier this month, Gov. John Kasich signed into law House Bill 7, which backers believe will effectively shutter most of the Internet cafes operating in the state. The bill bans cash payouts, caps prize values at $10 and requires increased registration and oversight of the storefronts.
The bill signing came about a week after Kasich finalized separate legislation extending a moratorium on existing parlors and requiring updated registrations with DeWine's office. The attorney general subsequently sent letters to the owners of 600-plus known cafes notifying them of the deadline for the paperwork later this month.
Proponents of the law changes say sweepstakes parlors are skirting state law and constitutional provisions to offer unregulated gambling.
But cafe owners and industry interests oppose the bills and have indicated they will pursue an initiative to place the law changes before voters, a move that could delay the legislation's effective date.
A new group, the "Committee to Protect Ohio Jobs," said Monday that it would work to place the issue on the ballot in November 2014.
It has about 90 days to collect nearly 250,000 petition signatures to accomplish that task.
"Every concern raised about Internet sweepstakes cafes can be resolved by reasonable regulation, rather than a ban," Richard Bonde, a Willowick man involved in the effort, said in a released statement. "With public polling showing that only 20 percent of Ohioans support prohibiting Internet Sweepstakes Cafes, it's only right that the voters have the final say on this issue."
He added, "The right to vote on such things is fundamental and we expect to be successful."
DeWine said his office would "see what happens" with the petition drive.
"The Internet cafe industry has said that they are going to do everything they can to get this on the ballot," DeWine said. "If they get the appropriate signatures, it would mean that the law would not go into effect in 90 days. We're going to see what happens."
He added, "If the law does in fact go into effect, it's going to be relatively easy to enforce. I would anticipate that we would be able (to shut down parlors) fairly quickly."

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Austenland (based on the novel by Shannon Hale) is a fun romantic comedy, despite the fact that it falls back on some of the typical romcom cliches, making it seem like women need to be rescued from a life of loneliness by romance. Still, it does try to question those predictable assumptions somewhat and is buoyed by strong performances. Jane Austen fans will particularly enjoy the inside jokes and references to her work. There's not much language (except for "crap") and no drinking (though one character acts drunk), but you can expect some kissing and heavy flirting (as befits a movie with an Austen theme).
- Sexual Content
- Couples kiss, sometimes passionately, often tenderly; some sexual innuendo/suggestive dialogue.
- Violence
- Two men get into a fight at an airport; a man forces himself on a woman, but she trips him up and stops him.
- Language
- "Crap" is about the extent of it.
- Social Behavior
- Love -- and life -- doesn't follow the trajectory of books (or movies, for that matter). Women don't need rescuing; neither do men. All you can do is be true to yourself, and if something, and someone, is meant to be, so be it.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- One character is lecherous and seems drunk all the time.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Cindee Tanuma knows how to keep her volunteers happy
You do so by giving them choices, said Tanuma, executive director of Community Caregivers of Greater Derry. Her agency links up 460 volunteers with 340 elderly, disabled or otherwise incapacitated people who need help with shopping, doctor visits, housekeeping, companionship and other tasks.
'It's all about giving them enough options, finding something to intrigue them,' Tanuma said about her volunteers.
If it's done correctly, the volunteer feels as if Community Caregivers is doing him a favor, she said.
'It's all about how you spin something,' Tanuma said.
As 32, Tanuma has years of experience as a volunteer. She took off a year after high school to travel and sing with Up With People. Once out of college, she trained with Americorps to be a volunteer coordinator.
She's been at her current job for eight years, about six as the executive director. Along with her job and her family - which includes a 2-year-old - Tanuma finds time to volunteer herself.
She helps to find and deliver slightly used furniture and other home goods to refugee families in Manchester.
'We've delivered everything from king-sized beds, to bureaus to televisions,' she said.

Sweet reviews for Madonna's "Hard Candy"
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - As parting gifts go, Madonna's 11th studio album -- and her last before she exits long-term record label Warner Bros. -- is unusually generous, if early reviews are to be believed.
Released internationally this week, and hitting U.S. stores on Tuesday, "Hard Candy" scored solidly among rock critics, although much of the credit, or blame, they said, should go to the established hit-makers with whom she collaborated.
The dance sounds, with hip-hop influence, see Madonna return to her roots and shed the weighty issues for which she regularly campaigns. And by working with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, she puts safety first.
"It's surprising that her 11th studio album ... is an act of submission," wrote Caryn Ganz of the Rolling Stone music magazine, giving "Hard Candy" four stars out of a possible five. "For 'Hard Candy,' Madonna's midlife meditation on her own relevance, she lets top-shelf producers make her their plaything."
The Independent newspaper's Andy Gill, in a three-star review, argues that Madonna, who turns 50 this year, aims to satisfy "the sweet tooth of functional dance-pop.
"Why else would she turn to off-the-peg hit-machines The Neptunes, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, after such success with more adventurous producers like Mirwais, William Orbit and Stuart Price?"
Alexis Petridis, in a three-star rating for the Guardian, calls Timberlake's involvement in "Hard Candy" a "mixed blessing," with the familiar sounds from his last album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" "less startling (the) second time around." Continued...

Budweiser Introduces New Crowdsourced Beer
The golden amber lager, Black Crown, was developed through a brewmasters project and consumer sampling.
Budweiser is planning to launch a new beer early next year, a golden amber lager developed through a crowdsourcing competition between the Brewmasters at it's 12 breweries. For 'Project 12', the company worked together to create their own "tribute" beers to fit the Budweiser brand's reputation for quality and consistency, which were then sampled across America.
The new 'Black Crown' variety emerged out of this competition, and has been modeled after the beer created at the Los Angeles brewery. Budweiser's VP Rob McCarthy said in a statement to Ad Age:
Though originally created in L.A., it's a beer born out of the collaboration of all of Budweiser's 12 brewmasters. The beer is an amber lager that is a little darker than Budweiser, but is flavorful and like Bud, very drinkable.

However, chairman Christopher Collins is cautious about the current financial year, saying: 'It is particularly difficult to predict the outlook so early in the year.'
The shares rose 4 1/2p to 435p as ABN Amro set a target of 550p.
Tighter cost and margin controls helped boost earnings although the group is still worried about North America. Selling prices increased 2.7% last year which, combined with cost savings in its increasingly popular heritage brick operations, led to a margin improvement of 0.6%.

But victory and defeat notwithstanding, the Pakistan coach said the series has served its cause.
"Winning and losing apart, I think this series has done a lot for the cause of Indo-Pak relations and I salute Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and President Pervez Musharraf for their contributions in making this series possible," said Miandad.
Going in to the fourth match with a 2-1 lead, Miandad had hoped to wrap up the series on Sunday but his bowlers "let him down" as Pakistan suffered a five-wicket defeat in the day-night match.
"I had wished we wrap up the series on Sunday but the bowlers let us down and now I think it is a 50-50 chance for both the teams and whoever avails the chances will win the series," he said.
"Everyone would blame the bowlers for the defeat because we had the match in our pockets after getting their top four players but we bowled badly in the middle overs to lose the grip," said Miandad, also worried over too many extras being conceded by his bowlers.
"Our batting has done more than we expected but the bowling let India make 349 in the first match, almost gave them 330 in the second and on Sunday failed to defend 294, it is disappointing."
But despite the bowling loopholes, Miandad was not in favour of appointing a bowling coach.
"A coach can only guide, it is up to the individual player to do his best to overcome his drawback. Even a bowling coach would not be able to help if the players do not help themselves," said Miandad, who played a record 124 Tests for Pakistan making 8132 runs.
Describing the off and on field atmosphere of the series as exhilarating, he said, "it is like a dream, we had never thought it would be like this. Fans have mingled like brothers and this people to people contact must continue in the future and we must tour India as soon as possible."

L.A. coroner probes Christian Brando's death
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles County coroner has opened an investigation into the death of Hollywood legend Marlon Brando's eldest son, acting at the request of his family, a spokesman for the medical examiner said on Tuesday.
Medical examiners took custody of Christian Brando's body on Monday and performed an autopsy on Tuesday, but a finding on the cause of death will await toxicology tests that take six to eight weeks to complete, said Ed Winter, assistant chief of the coroner's office.
Brando, the troubled son of the late Oscar-winning screen star and Welsh actress Anna Kashfi, died early on Saturday at age 49, at a Los Angeles hospital where he was being treated for pneumonia, according to lawyers for his father's estate.
Winter said Brando's "family was concerned about his prior history, both medical and drug history, but I'm not going to go any further into it until we have a chance to look at it and do our investigation."
Brando's ex-wife, Deborah, was quoted in a weekend story on People magazine's Web site as saying her former spouse had been comatose and on a respirator before his death. "His body was totally compromised," she said. "He lived so hard. ... This is just so sad."
An attorney for Marlon Brando's estate, David Seeley, told Reuters it was Kashfi, Christian's long-estranged mother, who asked for a coroner's investigation.
"Neither the estate of Marlon Brando, nor its beneficiaries, are involved in these decisions," Seeley said. "At this point we have no reason to question the hospital's actions or the cause of death as previously stated," he added.
The autopsy came a day after Deborah Brando, who has claimed in the past to be the illegitimate child of Elvis Presley, filed suit against the executors of Marlon Brando's will asserting a claim to the actor's estate. Continued...

Personal Responsibility for Copy Editors
Anne Glover, Assistant Managing Editor/Copy Desks, St. Petersburg Times
Assuming responsibility (some basic guidelines)
I. Acknowledge that you are the person who can control what happens. Whether you are working on the rim or layout out pages, you control your destiny by your actions and your preparedness and your ability to find solutions when problems come your way.
II. Excuses are no excuse. Obstacles arise every day; how you deal with those obstacles is what sets you apart -- for good or bad.
III. Understand your role in our newspaper: You are expected to achieve excellence every day. This is no time to "settle" for something less.
IV. Nothing will be handed to you. So what do you do? You go after it. You can obtain that layout, that headline and, yes, even that new job you want if you are willing to put a lot of effort into getting it.
V. Being a casual participant is not an option. If you are in a job for the day -- rim, slot, helping out the Business section -- really be there and be a willing and active participant. Don't just occupy a seat.
VI. Meet expectations -- and then exceed them.
And now, the details I. A slot editor's responsibility:
A. Act as the news editor for your section. What you do is important. You will be held accountable for what you do.
B. Know what is in your section. Read your budget thoroughly when it arrives and discuss it in detail with your editors. Edit as many stories as you can that are on your front page and inside your section.
C. Think of your readers. Are they being served? Or are they being shortchanged because of obstacles that you allow to derail your efforts?
D. Know the area that your section covers. Take an interest in the subject matter. Do your homework and find out as much as you can about the area that your section covers. The more you know, the better prepared you are to serve the reader.
E. Read your section. Pick it up the next day and look at it to see what you did. Read other sections as well, to familiarize yourself with the issues that we are covering on a day to day basis.
F. Know your section's role as it relates to the rest of the paper. What main run edition does it go out with? What sections does it have the most in common with? Is it an important strategic area for us? Who is the competition?
G. Make contributions. You are empowered to contribute as much as your energy and knowledge and enthusiasm will allow. You can make a difference -- and should.
H. Respect your fellow editors and reporters. Consider their reaction to every decision that you make. Earn their trust, not their suspicion. They are at your mercy, and you at theirs. You need each other, so be courteous and considerate, as you would ask them to be to you.
II. A rim editor's responsibility
A. That story you are editing is your story. Treat it with respect and care. Make no unnecessary changes, and no unnecessary cuts. If a slot editor has called for a major cut, don't assume it's okay. Question it and insist upon getting approval from the editor or a news editor.
B. Backstop the slot editor. If the story is overplayed or underplayed, speak up. Look for quotes or info boxes or even breakout graphics if there is time. A quick-thinking rim editor can give the slot editor valuable information that makes the difference between an okay section and a great section.
C. Read budgets to prepare yourself for that night's stories. This not only gives you a sense of what the work load and flow might be like, it lets you set your pace accordingly. If you rush breakneck through stories on a night when you could really take more time, you are shortchanging yourself and your copy chiefs.
D. Strive for great headlines, not serviceable ones. Headlines are the first thing a reader sees. Yet, they can be the last dashed-off part of our jobs. Think about that again: They are the first thing a reader sees. Are you happy with that first impression?
E. Read the paper. Not just the main run, but the regionals too. You don't have to read every word. But you should at least skim the major stories.
F. Make contributions. You are empowered to contribute as much as your energy and knowledge and enthusiasm will allow. You can make a difference -- and should.
G. Respect your fellow editors and reporters. Consider their reaction to every decision that you make. Earn their trust, not their suspicion. They are at your mercy, and you at theirs. You need each other, so be courteous and considerate, as you would ask them to be of you.
III. Everyone's responsibility
A. Watch out for each other. Don't work in a vacuum. Be aware of what is going on and be prepared to sacrifice your work at the moment to help out in a crisis.
B. Ask for help. Don't shoulder a burden at the risk of committing a mistake or short-changing the readers. Help is plentiful and available.
C. Know your newspaper. Learn who editors, reporters, news artists and photographers are. Learn who your fellow copy editors are. Find out who the people are who have direct bearing on your job on a consistent basis.
D. Speak up, not under your breath. Change happens because someone sees something that could be different and offers a solution.
E. Pay attention to the details. They count. A misspelled word in an obit will mar that obit for ever.
