Compelling Interest
The Real Story behind Roe v. WadeAuthor: Roger ReslerNarrator: Roger Resler & Various GuestsRuntime: 12.4 Hrs. - UnabridgedIs a fetus a person? Is "pro-choice" really a neutral position? For 40 years since the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, the abortion debate has been highly charged and politicized. Questions like these—and passionate but widely varying answers—have become the common language of the public dialogue on this issue. Yet behind the scenes of this historic case are other intriguing questions: · How did the Supreme Court come to be involved in the abortion debate? · Was language manipulated to affect the outcome?· What was the moral basis underlying the decision? In Compelling Interest, author Roger Resler draws on original sources, including the actual transcripts for oral arguments, the majority and minority opinions, and comments by the lawyers and others involved to take a careful look at the real story behind the historic Roe v. Wade decision. Resler includes conversations with experts, including sociology professor Dr. William Brennan, the late Dr. Mildred Jefferson and Dr. Carolyn Gerster who co-founded the National Right to Life Committee, prolific author and speaker Randy Alcorn, bioethics professor Dr. Gerard Magill, perinatologist Dr. James Thorp, and photojournalistMichael Clancy. This carefully researched book speaks with a thought-provoking, balanced voice that stands out from the usual partisan rhetoric on the topic.Learn More

Dangerous Calling
Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral MinistryAuthor: Paul David TrippNarrator: Maurice EnglandRuntime: 8.4 Hrs. - UnabridgedAfter traveling the world for many years and speaking at hundreds of churches of all kinds, Paul David Tripp is concerned about the state of pastoral culture. He is not only concerned about the spiritual life of the pastor, but with the very people who train him, call him, relate to him, and restore him if necessary. Dangerous Calling reveals the truth that the culture surrounding our pastors is spiritually unhealthy--an environment that actively undermines the wellbeing and efficacy of our church leaders and thus the entire church body. Here is a book that both diagnoses and offers cures for issues that impact every member and church leader, and gives solid strategies for fighting the war that rages not only in the momentous moments of ministry, but also in the mundane day-by-day life of every pastor.Learn More
Creature of the Word
The Jesus-Centered ChurchNarrator: David Cochran HeathRuntime: 7.9 Hrs. - UnabridgedThe Reformers viewed the gospel as not merely one thing among many in the life of a church but rather the means by which the church exists. When the gospel is rightly declared and applied to God's people, the church becomes "a creature of the Word." She understands, embraces, and lives out the reality of Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection in more than her doctrinal statement. The gospel impacts all the church is and does. Creature of the Word lays out this concept in full, first examining the rich, scripture-based beauty of a Jesus-centered church, then clearly providing practical steps toward forming a Jesus-centered church. Authors Matt Chandler, Eric Geiger, and Josh Patterson write what will become a center-ing discussion piece for those whose goal is to be part of a church that has its theology, culture, and practice completely saturated in the gospel.Learn More
Hidden in DreamsAuthor: T. Davis BunnNarrator: Antoinette LaVecchiaRuntime: 7.5 Hrs. - UnabridgedDr. Elena Burroughs's life is spiraling out of control. Her controversial stance on dream interpretation has cost her a job, a romance, and all credibility in academic circles. Her literary agent tries to leverage the outcry into a publicity tour, which soon attracts a quirky following. Among the skeptics and mystics is a condescending scientist. But Elena finds his research holds ominous parallels with her own.Learn More

Links We Love, 06/9/12

Links We Love, a compendium of what we're loving right now. Happy armchair traveling.
Pavia, founder/CEO
I left Italy and Croatia four days before the European Football Championship kicked off. I know nothing about soccer, but I love a good match and I appreciate Esquire UK's alternative guide. (Though, guys, really, where's Italy?)
On the topic of things-I'm-not-usually-into, Croatia is all about camping, and I've been drooling over the images on Cabin Porn. I know, it's unladylike to drool over porn, but you click on that and tell me you don't want to buy a sleeping bag.
Crystal, creative director
Yo Vintage (my favorite vintage shopping website) just opened, bricks-and-mortar-style, in Portland. Until I get up there, owner Sarah Radcliffe's latest lookbook, Prints Ahoy!, will keep me dreaming of seagull graphics and summer by the lake.
I love me some '70s counterculture, and filmmakers Mary Wigmore and Sara Lamm, so naturally I'm excited to check out their new documentary, Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin and the Farm Midwives, set in rural Tennessee.
The plan is to head to Shanghai for a few days this summer. From the looks of things, there is a little underground exploring to do.
Berit, assistant editor
Blue capris: European on business. Red capris: European on holiday. Plaid capris: European on way to rehab. And so goes Wendi Aarons' fantastically hysterical essay Airplane Passengers as Explained by their Pants — kind of makes you reconsider your travel wardrobe.
Love, love, love this Kickstarter project by graphic designer Alana Zawojski. ZigZag City Guides are designed for the mini-traveler in your life. The Rome version includes a kid-friendly map of Vatican City and a deck of cards with facts and activities to help learn Italian phrases and sites like the Colosseum.

It's Not Easy Being Yellow Comedy Tour Wraps on June 11 at Leicester Square Theatre
In March 2012, Ria Lina signed up to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with little more than a show title, an audience questionnaire and an identity crisis. A year later she returns to London with the 4 Star show; albeit still in crisis. Having been dentified as the "Filipina Sarah Silverman" she realised she wasn't necessarily... Filipina. Is that allowed in an era where your colour is your culture is your comedy?
An hour of comedy from the award winning comic, inspired by the age old question "Where do you come from?", and peppered throughout with songs that are "wittily constructed, if not entirely politically correct" (Three Weeks), be prepared to keep an open mind as your perimeters of acceptability are shamelessly put on trial.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Do you believe in his smile?
Ben Roethlisberger stares into the coverage, and time after time, he shows his teeth. He dodges a question, and he grins. He sidesteps another, and he grins. He praises a teammate, and he grins.
There is nothing particularly warm about the smile, mind you, and nothing particularly friendly. It is a car salesman's smile, a politician's smile, a defense attorney's smile. As facial expressions go, it is a smile that acts as a punctuation mark. His answer is over, feel free to try again. And he smiles.
Do you believe in his words?
The Steelers quarterback spent most of Tuesday morning's Super Bowl media day saying as little as possible about his league suspension following an accusation of sexual assault. Every now and then he would talk about faith, and about family, and about achieving inner peace. It seemed a little rehearsed, as if had spent the past week in front of a mirror and being coached by a public relations expert.
Most of all, do you believe in his heart?
In the attempted rehabilitation of Roethlisberger's reputation, this is the only question that matters. When Roethlisberger says he has changed, do you believe him? When he says he wants to be known as a role model, do you buy in? Do you see him as a player who has learned his lesson, or as a marketing campaign designed to cover up what happened?
In the spotlight of the moment, it seems the world is ready to love Roethlisberger again. He plays an admirable position for an admirable team, and once more he is about to play in a championship game. In our society there is no easier forgiveness than that granted to a successful celebrity.
Here, then, is the essential question of the day:
Ben, do you believe you're a good guy?
"I think so," Roethlisberger said.
Others do not seem as convinced. After commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Roethlisberger for six games before the season (later reduced to four), there were stories that suggested Roethlisberger had never been among the most popular Steelers in the clubhouse. Even now, he says he has "worked to be a better teammate," which suggests that even he knew he had shortcomings.
Say this much for Roethlisberger. who turns 29 next month. As defensive ends across the league know, he's pretty good at sidestepping trouble. He certainly didn't seem flustered by the media-day questions. He didn't blink, he didn't sweat, he never answered a question he didn't want to answer. The more direct the questioning, the more likely he was to suggest that it was "reflective" and that "Super Bowl week isn't the time to be reflective."
Yet, Roethlisberger talked about how he wanted to be a role model to kids. He talked about how he wanted his obituary to read that he was "a guy who lived every day like it was his last." He talked about how much a cooperation award from the Pittsburgh media meant to him this season because he had been so difficult to deal with in prior years. Some reflection seemed to fit into his schedule.
Ben, what do you mean by "inner peace?"
"I think if you have it, it's an easy thing to talk about," Roethlisberger said. "When you have an understanding of what you want to do in life, that's the inner peace I'm talking about."
So what did anyone expect? A confession? Of course not. Remorse? Maybe a little. Regret? Maybe more than a little. At the very least, the descriptions of Roethlisberger's behavior have certainly painted him as a young player filled with entitlement and surrounded by an entourage.
Perhaps a little reflection would have been good for Roethlisberger. Perhaps he could have talked about his growth as a player. Perhaps he could have admitted that his foolishness left the Steelers out to dry for a month while he was suspended. As it turns out, his teammates won three out of four while he was gone, but he certainly didn't do them any favors.
Ben, are you a different guy than you were before?
"I think you always go through changes in life," Roethlisberger said "When you're faced with challenges in life, you find ways to overcome them."
No one asked about the challenges of the alleged victim. Then again, she didn't have a podium.
The thing is, this Super Bowl should be Roethlisberger's show. He has a shot at his third ring, which is Tom Brady and Troy Aikman territory (Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw won four). The questions should be about his place among the game's quarterbacks and his place in Super Bowl history. They should be chuckling when he talks about the ugly way he plays the position.
Yet, it is impossible not to wonder whether Roethlisberger has transformed or if he is running a fake. It is true that accusations don't mean guilt, but celebrity does not mean innocence, and success does not mean redemption. We may never know what happened in a bar in Milledgeville, Ga., but that doesn't mean we should stop wondering.
Is Roethlisberger a good guy or a bad one?
Just a guess here, but even those who want to believe in him are going to need a little more evidence.
Steelers vs. Packers

I'm also up to date on my shots and neutered. I also had a dental and am missing most of my teeth. That doesn't stop me from eating the hard kibble because I love it. I have not been at my foster home for very long but so far I do not mind the other dogs here. I'm looking for a forever home with no small kids (I"m small and blind in one eye and they scare me) and no big dogs. A dog my own size to play with would be perfect. If you have any questions about me please email my foster mom. Thanks for reading about me

Social Security and the Age of Retirement
Unlike a century ago, people expect their children to live past the age of retirement. This fact has important implications for how workers save for retirement, but has no specific implications for the retirement portion of Social Security. In addition, the increase in life expectancy is not nearly as important as it might first appear. A significant part of the increase in life is between birth and age 20. Including declines in child and teen mortality exaggerate the increase in retirement length. Furthermore, much of the gains in life expectancy come during working years—between age 20 and retirement. This means that workers are not only experiencing longer retirements, but longer working lives as well. Finally, each succeeding generation has been vastly more productive than prior generations—a trend that will continue. Thus, not only have workers on average more years of work over their lifetime, they are better able to save for their retirements.

Annie from Provisions Learning Project writes:
In their continuing efforts to battle the ever growing mounds of garbage polluting our oceans and coastlines, Surfrider Foundation joined forces with Saatchi & Saatchi LA to sponsor the aptly titled Catch of the Day guerrilla ad campaign. Trash was collected from beaches across the US, then sorted, packaged like seafood, and strategically placed around local farmers' markets. Directly targeting seafood consumers, this creative campaign draws attention to the gross debris littering our oceans and highlights how this pollution affects the consumer directly through the food they eat.

Ultimate Turkey Melter Recipe
We all know how good a Boxing Day sandwich can be, so we imagined what it would be like if we ramped it up. Flat breads are the perfect vessel for putting together far too much filling, with chunks of roast turkey, a punchy saucy, and using up those scraps from the cheese board. You have the makings of a darn good melter, all there in the fridge!
Watch Tom and Henry getting busy with the leftovers on Waitrose TV, where you can also see how Tom makes the flatbreads for this recipe.
Serves 4
4 sourdough flatbreads, or other wraps
400g picked roast turkey
4 tbsp cranberry sauce
200g mixed Christmas cheese (Stilton, cheddar, Brie, etc.)
4 rashers cooked streaky bacon
4 tbsp bread sauce, mixed with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Lay the flat breads down, spread the mustard bread sauce on. Add the turkey, bacon, cranberry sauce and cheese. Fold the wrap up nice and tight.
Either grill in a panini machine until crispy and melted, or gently fry in some butter for 3 mins on each side.

Rent Seeking, Technology Commitment, and Economic Development
Real-world rent seeking has been a puzzle to political economists, as they cannot observe as much direct social cost as commonly believed. In this paper, we identify socially inefficient technology commitment as a device for rent seekers to improve their positions in a zero-dissipation contest. We show that the domestic industry may forgo innovation opportunities which would be optimal decisions without rent-seeking uncertainty. This analysis also explains some conspicuous features of the farm subsidy programs in the US. We conclude by discussing rent-seeking's dynamic implication: the retarding of economic development.

pauper is an awesome format

indeed, ggs to everyone
by el_focker on 2012-07-29 23:12 CET
Was extremely unlucky in the finals :( I def thought the meta would have more storm and not as much delver though. Prob should have played more snags and fewer echoing truths and more bounce sb. You'd think 9 answers to delver would be enough with all the card draw but i guess not. Spire golem seems good for the mirror but prob not better than gush+ a low land count. Im starting to think that 14 is the right number.
by Duodax on 2012-07-29 23:13 CET
modo ftw :)
by Steveman on 2012-07-29 23:44 CET
I played shitty reanimator. Game 1 was really funny, my opponent was at 4 and was all tapped out and had a Mulldrifter while I had Hand of Emrakul with no cards in hand.

Y no Snapcaster Mage
by Duodax on 2012-07-30 14:48 CET
you have to play A) 16 lands and B) serrated arrows to break through golems in mirror in delver
by Wichtelman on 2012-07-30 18:42 CET
ansore are you serious about the delver matchup?
by Wichtelman on 2012-07-30 18:42 CET
ansore are you serious about the delver matchup?
by SGM on 2012-07-30 20:01 CET
i dont think the post matchup vs delver is piece of cake, it depends on what version of delver u are facing. I played against post in the first round and won 2-0. i think the sideboard plan of boarding in stormbound geist, hydroblast and the light counters is legit. I think the MU is actually very close and skill intensive.
by Wichtelman on 2012-07-30 20:59 CET
geist is so hot specially vs arrows :s
by Ansore on 2012-07-30 21:00 CET
Any of both delvers is easy.
by Shagrath on 2012-07-30 21:20 CET
something's wrong, where's ur storm and infect?
by Tao on 2012-07-31 00:44 CET
by DonDiggy on 2012-07-31 07:36 CET
Won R1 with White Weenie vs Infect. Standard Bearer beats his entire deck, especially with Bodyguard Backup.
by straca3 on 2012-07-31 16:15 CET
Lol, such bad decklists
by straca3 on 2012-07-31 16:18 CET
And seriously Don Diggy - WW vs Storm close matchup wtf? Its 40-60 at best.
by DonDiggy on 2012-07-31 23:25 CET
The Matchup is slightly negative, indeed. But only if the Stormplayer knows that he has to fish for an early kill. You shouldnt wait a single turn against a deck with tons of oncolor hate and a pretty fast and resilient clock. However my friend, reading wins. I said: "...in a pretty close match". Not Matchup. Just saying.
by Ansore on 2012-08-01 12:16 CET
lol shagrath, I got 2 mono green infect in 3 rounds

Omar López, a clinical assistant professor at the USC School of Social Work, has been elected by Mexican community leaders to a three-year term as an advisor for Consejo Consultivo del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (CCIME), a consultative body within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico that analyzes problems, challenges and opportunities facing Mexican communities abroad.
Comprising more than 100 members, CCIME works closely with high-ranking Mexican, American and Canadian officials to develop and implement joint strategies, efforts and programs that benefit Mexicans primarily living in the United States and Canada.
"I am humbled by the trust of prominent community leaders who selected me as one of three advisors to represent the San Diego region," said López, who emigrated from Mexico at age 12. "As a social worker who has dedicated his professional life to improving the socioeconomic conditions of underserved populations – especially Latinos – in this country, I am proud to be in a position where I could have an impact at an international level."
López plans on joining CCIME's Commission on Education to work on building educational relationships between Mexico and the United States.
"Considering my role in academia and the fact that I live in a vibrant border region, I hope to establish and nurture relations that enhance collaborative efforts between institutions of education, particularly at the university level," said López. "I hope to contribute by working on different initiatives and providing the unique perspective that we, as social workers, bring to the table."
Lopez began his career in county government as a child welfare social worker serving foster children and families. He is now a member of the field education faculty at the San Diego Academic Center and volunteers for the Chicano Federation's foster care program, La Cuna, which finds foster homes for Latino children.

The five members of Gold Fields don't take themselves too seriously. When we met them before their second show at New York's Bowery Ballroom, they all wore hoodies and jeans. Everyone around them seemed to be in a hurry, but they seemed relaxed, joking with one another and grinning slyly at no one in particular.
However, when the band starts talking about their music, a different attitude emerges—one of resolute determination. They wrote, rewrote, and again rewrote their debut album before feeling satisfied. And it still took three weeks holed up in lead singer Mark Fuller's parents' garage, with the album's artwork (finished earlier) plastered on surrounding walls, to come up with a name: Black Sun, out February 26 from Astralwerks.
The quintet hails from the suburbs outside of Melbourne, Australia. Fuller, guitarist Vinci Andanar, bassist Luke Peldys, and drummer/keyboardist Rob Clifton, went to high school together; and drummer Ryan D'Sylva lived nearby. Their sleepy provenance turned out to be integral to their future—it was small-town monotony, they claim, that drove them to music.
We had a only a few minutes with Fuller, Clifton, and D'Sylva before they were rushed off to get ready for their set, but we squeezed in enough time to chat about their hometowns, '80s bands, and Clifton's Plan B career path (spoiler alert: it's sports-related).
RACHEL SMALL: How did you all meet?
MARK FULLER: We've known each other for years. We all went to the same school, except for Ryan, who lived in a town an hour away from us. We decided to start this band a couple years ago, when Vin and Ryan were at a music festival, and watching The Temper Trap at Falls in Australia. We had a moment of realization that we should start playing music again. So we started writing, got in a room together, and started jamming. Then we got Rob and Luke on board, who were other mates at school. That's how it started. We started writing and recording straightaway before we ever played a show.
SMALL: Where in Australia did you grow up?
FULLER: We all grew up in Ballarat, and Ry is from Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne. Ballarat is a country town about an hour and half from Melbourne, down the bottom of Australia. There's lots of like nice buildings there, and it's about 100,000 people. Lots of Australian-rules footy, and that's about all that goes on in our town. If you don't play footy, you play music, so there's a lot of good music coming out of Ballarat as well. It was probably boredom that drove us to music. And just loving music... We were going to shows all the time growing up, and we wanted to do that ourselves.
SMALL: How did you guys come up with the name Gold Fields?
ROB CLIFTON: Vin and Luke were coming back from a rehearsal one time, from Melbourne, and as you enter Ballarat, there's a sign that "Welcome to the Gold Fields." Vin just looked at that and said, "What about calling ourselves Gold Fields?" Because, at the time we were called The Woods, but we had to change the name because we needed a name that would work internationally, and there's a band from here already called The Woods. So, Vin texted Mark and said, "What about Gold Fields?" And I think you were sort of watching something on TV...
FULLER: Yeah! I watching the news at the time. Then I got the text from Vin, looked down at my phone, read it, and looked back on the telly, and there was a sign—it must have been the same sign that Vin saw—that also said "Gold Fields." I was like, "Holy shit, that's weird."
SMALL: Whoa! So, what was your first big break?
RYAN D'SYLVA: Australia had only one national radio station, called Triple J, and it plays a lot of bands from around the world. If you're getting played on that station regularly and people are enjoying your music, you can have a career in Australia. So they picked up our first single when we just put it up online. And that was where it started, because from there we got the opportunity to go over to the UK. Around our seventh UK show, our current label [Astralwerks], that we're on in America, heard us on a music blog, and it just spun from there.
SMALL: How is it spending so much time together on tour, especially considering how long you have known each other for?
FULLER: It's fine. We get asked that a lot, actually—like our family and friends always ask, "How do you go about living with five other dudes in a van?" But actually, we've never had any problems. If you crack the shits with someone, it's just like cracking the shits with your mates. If you get pissed off with each other, it's just like getting pissed off with your mate. And you have an argument about it, and get over it later. But we never really argue.
D'SYLVA: If we ever do have a disagreement or an argument, it's usually about something regarding the band, not like trivial bullshit. It's something about the show, or we should do this, or we should do that, and we work it out that way. But it's never about "I want the front seat." [all laugh]
SMALL: So, what's been your favorite moment touring so far?
FULLER: The last time we played here at the Bowery Ballroom—that was a huge highlight. It was a sold out show at the end of last year. We were supporting Diamond Rings. That was the first time we played in a venue like this. It was packed, and it was awesome, especially for us being from a small town like Ballarat.
CLIFTON: Also, one of the great things for here, in the US, is being able to go to the cities that you've heard about, like Seattle and Portland. Austin, too. It's an amazing experience in itself to just go to these places and see all of the attractions. When we are playing shows in those iconic kinds of cities, and people are watching you... it's pretty mind-blowing.
SMALL: Do you guys have a favorite city? You don't have to say New York.
CLIFTON: I probably would say New York.
FULLER: Yeah.
D'SYLVA: Mine's Portland. I love Portland.
SMALL: Do you think you can describe your musical style in just three words?
FULLER: Listen to it? [all laugh] I feel like you sound like a wanker if you try to describe your music. Either that or you just turn people off from listening. We would rather people, if they are rating us, to make up their own minds.
D'SYLVA: We love electronic music, but we're not a fully electronic band. We like pop music, but we're not a straight-up pop band. We like heavier stuff, but we're not a straight-up heavy band. So if we say any of those things, it makes you think we are that, but we're not that. So we're not going to say it.
SMALL: Has anyone given you feedback that has made you see your own music in a new light? Or surprised you?
FULLER: When we play shows, especially over here, there are sometimes a lot of older demographics, like, 30, 40, and even 50-year-olds that are at the show. After, they will come up, and say how much they really loved the show. They will say, "This reminds me of the stuff that I listened to when I was growing up." Often, it's music from the '80s. So it's cool that we appeal to people who you would not necessarily think like our music.
SMALL: Would you say you've gotten any of your inspiration from any of those bands that they're talking about?
FULLER: I think we resemble certain bands from the '80s, that we all like, but I think we probably more draw inspiration from bands that draw inspiration from them. It's definitely reflected in our music, but it's not a conscious thing.
CLIFTON: Haircut 100 was another one that people keep bringing up. Someone in Sydney said, "You guys are exactly like Haircut 100, you guys should go look it up and you'll see." So we looked in up, and he's right! We had never heard of the band, even, but you sort of see how people have noticed parallels. But, at the same time, there's a lot that distinguishes us.
SMALL: So, now that you guys have toured all over the US, and you album Black Sun is coming out, do you've feel like you've made it big?
FULLER: I feel like we have never done anything, really, until the album comes out, and, I guess, with that happening so soon, it is a bit scary, and exciting. It feels like the first box we'll tick, and then we'll start writing the next one. Obviously we'll tour first, and that will be fun, but I'm already looking forward to doing the next one.
CLIFTON: Everything we've done now is like preseason of a sporting game. [laughs] Like the NFL, or Aussie rules.
FULLER: We're talking Aussie rules. [all laugh]
CLIFTON: I'm talking Aussie rules, tonight. Everything we've done up until now has been preseason. Then once the album comes out, it's round one. That's round one. We'll see how the season unfolds.
FULLER: We got a really strong playing group.
CLIFTON: No injuries, which is always really helpful at the start of the season.
SMALL: Good, good. Stay strong, do your stretches.
FULLER: Rob used to be good at Australian rules football. So when we do interviews, Rob just pretends he's this AFL [Australian Football League] player.
CLIFTON: Yeah, I try to throw in some AFL sort of metaphors in there.
SMALL: Really?
CLIFTON: I'm ready to interview on that—on my AFL career. [all laugh]
SMALL: Guess we'll have to follow up! Well, last question, where did the name Black Sun come from for the new album?
FULLER: Well, we'd finished the album, and we were trying to come up with something that...
CLIFTON: Represented the music.
D'SYLVA: We redid the album three times. The third time we did it, we were in Mark's parents' garage. We wanted the album to sounds like the artwork, which we loved, and be this cohesive piece of art. So, we scrapped all the songs and we started writing the album with all this artwork in mind, and trying to create our own little world. So we're in the garage with the artwork posted everywhere. And it was our world for three weeks. We thought that if that world was a world it would be a world with a black sun. All the artwork, if you look at the front cover and the related pieces, looks like it's from a world with a black sun.
SMALL: Cool. Anything else that you want the world to know about?
CLIFTON: I'm one of the AFL stars.

Suffolk-based Premier Foods said it anticipated possible "significant short-term customer demand" on its two-week supply of the condiment.
But the company said it was confident it could fulfil holiday demand.
"People won't have to go out and desperately buy Branston for Christmas," a spokeswoman said.
She said a run on the brand could result in current stocks - enough to cover about two weeks of sales - being sold much quicker than normal.
The company, based in Bury St Edmunds, said it expected to restart some production within three weeks and would move gradually to full production of all its products during December and January.
It was also in talks with other manufacturers about covering production of certain products starting this month, until the plant in Suffolk was fully up and running.
The factory also makes Hayward's pickles, Loyd Grossman sauces and the Waistline range.
The fire on 27 October has been blamed on halogen lights which ignited the plastic packaging on bottles.
Premier said it had insurance in place to cover material damage and the loss of profits, subject to an excess of £1m.
Major food producer
Last month, the group's former majority owner, private equity company Hicks,
Muse, Tate & Furst, sold its remaining 20% stake in the Branston pickle firm.
It owned 93% of Premier until a July stock market flotation reduced its
holding down to 20%.
Hicks, which will no longer have a holding in the company, bought Premier in
1999 and oversaw major expansion at the St Albans-based operation, including
through the acquisition of Nestle's ambient food business in 2002.
That added brands including Branston, Crosse & Blackwell, Sarson's vinegar and
Premier began to take its current shape in 1986 with the acquisition of the
tea and foods business of Cadbury Schweppes.

Show Detailed Description
Avulsion fractures of the base (tuberosity) of fifth metatarsal bone are the most common fractures in the foot, frequently treated in fracture clinics and involving significant resources. At present methods of treatment and follow up vary widely from no active treatment to surgery, depending entirely on a treating doctor preference. There is no agreement on simple, safe and reliable method of treatment. The investigators believe that vast majority of these injuries heal well on its own without any specific treatment. By comparing two most commonly used treatments the investigators aim to establish one simple, safe and reliable mode of treatments. The investigators are going to evaluate functional results of these two treatments in a short and longer time prospective, by using the best available scientific tools. The investigators believe that results of the investigators study will eventually lead to change of practise and more efficient NHS care for these patients. It will reduce unnecessary treatments and clinic appointments, and bring substantial savings to the NHS in a long prospective.

ATHERTON Town and Pennington maintained their promotion charges in Division One.
With three promoted, the local duo are among a group of five who look to have a realistic chance of going up.
Fourth-placed Atherton beat another of that quintet, Irlam Steel, to keep the pressure on their rivals.
Dane Grimes opened the scoring early with a deflected strike and Heath Ainscow settled the nerves with a breakaway goal midway through the second half.
Irlam, who found the home defence in commanding form, had two men sent off for verbally abusing the referee in the last five minutes as frustration got the better of them.
Two second-half goals from Chris Holt saw a below-par second-placed Pennington overcome Wilmslow Albion.
Matty Collier opened the scoring with the pick of the goals when he chipped the keeper midway through the first half before the bottom club replied before half time.
At the other end, Breightmet United also failed to reproduce their recent improved form in a 3-2 defeat at Chapel Town.
The local lads conceded in the first 30 seconds of each half, to leave manager Simon Wilcox perplexed.
Gary McShane made it 1-1 before Stephen Dawson struck a stunning free kick into the top corner to give Breightmet a 2-1 half-time lead.
"They scored straight after half time and again five minutes later and we couldn't recover," said Wilcox.
"That was the worst performance by us so far, we were unrecognisable from recent weeks, although the work ethic was top drawer as it always is."
Chris Hopwood grabbed a late winner as Leigh Athletic continued to pull away from the Premier Division relegation zone with a 3-2 victory at Prestwich Heys.
He also scored Leigh's first, with their second an equalising own goal 10 minutes from time.

I lied, i won't attempt to explain their actions, but let them speak for themselves. Microsoft has cut (in the UK, often a "testing" ground for larger markets like the US) the price of the One. A price cutting move in less than three months on store shelves is viewed by investors and those with a basic understanding of economics and more simply, logic - a negative. The Wii U did not sell well it's first year because it was released in anticipation of fullfilling Nintendo's backlog of games for the system and while that backlog has slowly started to turn into what will be a waterfall of titles - Nintendo gained a year of manufacturing economies of scale. What's that? Simply put, the longer and more of something you make - the cheaper the cost of making it becomes (to large corporations chiefly). Therefore, Nintendo due to thinking ahead towards the launches of both the PS4 and Xbox One knew that they could create appeal and begin spending marketing dollars in the most optimal moment when new systems hit the scene. While Microsoft is certainly a company that is capable and does take advantage of economies of scale, cutting their console price in its infancy does not make good business sense unless the goal is to simply survive and not fail to ever get wings. As Microsoft deems themselves the competitor of Sony's high end electronics powerhouse, and sales figures for a few months now are rolling and show that Sony is more than "sticking" it to Microsoft in terms of their new console's household penetration and sales - the price cut represents a quick test to see if they can affect the UK market in such a way to deem logical a price slash on the One worldwide. The problem with herein lies that they are acting too much like the large, bloated and slow moving corporation they are, and allowing greed and the possibility that somehow they won't need to slash prices globally this very instant if their hardware is to not go the path of the PS3 last generation - which for all the losses per unit Sony incurred attempting to get units in households did no good, too little too late with an unclear vision. The public's view of the One is that it a.) underperforms the PS3 b.) it was marketed as a revolutionary machine that would have no rival and c.) It costs continual money to simply access the app features every other console even the handheld 3DS offers for free, being of course the 'netflix, hulu plus, amazon prime' on demand TV services of the world. The public may or may not know, but HBO Go, once an app exclusive to Microsoft, is any day now about to release for Sony and likely Nintendo versions of that same app as well. in short, Microsoft has tried to be too many things to too many people and at a price tag and performance level that has been proven to be a lie quite honestly, if we are to take their word for what the One could and would be for us as consumers.
Painfully, the second and final point of the recent panic taking place at Microsoft is the announcement that a new head, the failed CEO of recently (foolishly) acquired Nokia will now be at the reigns of the Xbox/Microsoft Games department. Why is this painful? Do you own and use a Nokia phone at this time? DId you ever? When so, then? Do you or would the public, for their generally misguided and advertisement led thinking processes even view such a title given to someone with no video game market experience as a good thing? The deeper problem is - Microsoft doesn't have a pool of noteworthy contenders within their company ranks or the appeal to outsiders to be able to bring in someone with clout, expertise, and decades of know how into such an important role during such a critical moment for the One's success. For well over a decade, Microsoft has suffered defeat after defeat to lean and mean organizations whom have appeal to the most qualified candidates entering the job market, and given the choice candidates new and old have acted in their best career interests and accepted positions with the world's top companies - not those with the most cash, but simply those with the most favorable, relevant, and very now trends moving in their favor. Google, Facebook, Apple, and yes, in the global market Sony and Nintendo.
I'm of the mind that Microsoft is reaping what it sews through aggressive, misleading advertising and their own failures due to inability and perhaps cultural fear of creating new markets - piggybacking on the innovation of other companies and their employment of business models designed to dilute and imitate firms that innovate, and where intellectual property law blocks them - attempt to buy out the bold firms that have the rights to a given technology.
How does this play out? Well that's a question any whom reads my blog posts knows I'm in the business of making money taking a side. While I do not hold shares of Microsoft, nor intend to sell short (expect a decline) shares of Microsoft, in the long run I believe they will a.) Not sell or spin off the One b.) accept per unit loses (as they did with the hardware failures of the 360) through price cutting and other consumer incentive programs and finally c.) Muddle through as a partial market penetration blip in the greater gaming console market much as Sony did with the PS3. This means, if you own a One, don't fear the sky is falling. If you're an Xbox fan, they aren't going to die on you and leave you with a brick - rather they may end up giving you more for your money that you rightly so deserve over the years to come.
How does this play out for Nintendo? Sony? Delays by Microsoft to aggressively own up to their need for the price slash on a large and global basis will further aid Nintendo's U brand in being the most appealing console from a selling point, and given the headline titles only months away may dramatically impact Microsoft's ability to stand back and see a significant gain in becoming more price competitive. For Sony, it is rather easy to see that these publicly humiliating moves by MSFT a.) Defaults them as the winner of the "next gen" console war b.) Will stir an increased focus by 3rd party developers to align with Sony and cater their gaming development efforts and competition around the hardware specifications of the PS4 (and Wii) in favor of MSFT, and c.) Sony's higher price tag will stand as a symbol of the quality in power and design they have provided consumers this generation and wearing this elite higher price tag will mean that no discounts and deals on the PS4 are likely for at least a full year from its launch date, when they at their comfort may lower prices of the console and like the WIi U, enjoy a larger market of consumers at the same profit margins they make now producing the PS4 with costs to produce high.
Personal Preference:
1.) Nintendo WIi U - Significantly more powerful than original Wii, Family friendly, the multiple "main" TV consumer household standalone solution provider, and now intently focused on the Wii U end user experience. Finally, 100% of their business is devoted to entertainment systems, as they have been for nearly 200 years. Longer than likely any of us can even trace back our family history. Oh wait, of course - the strongest and most valuable portfolio of video gaming Intellectual Property rights (game titles) out of every game developer, entertainment company, console maker, cartoon creator, etc - combined.
2.) PS4 - Wait for the eventual, likely holiday 2014 or spring 2015 price drop. At this point buy, unless you invest money in the PC gaming market as well. If you do, ...
3.) "Steam" Box - The illusive and waterfall success of claiming domain over PC game sales and social networking - expect the first generation steam boxes to attack directly at the PS4 and officially hand over the most developed for and compatible console to the PC Gaming market. Thanks to cloud computing innovations seen in the kindle - the steam box will for a notably lower price point, deliver graphics that will be hard to distinguish from the PS4 if not equal, and a collection of games that will at the very least equal the PS4 (One) but expect these to be online digitally purchased and accessed quite possibly, down to the last game. If a low price point, high end graphical experiences, a smaller, possibly yet to be announced unique mobile device accessible game collection tickles your fancy, then wait and expect to see this device on my prediction time table arrive late spring to at late as the holiday season this year. Steam and a growing community are aware that they can be patient in delivering the "steam" box as its revolutionary features for the price design intends to reinvent what it means to be a console.

Off the Wall: Adrian Schiess
The artist Adrian Schiess has been exhibiting his trademark "flat" paintings internationally since 1987. These large aluminum panels are rendered in enamel or digital prints covered with lacquer. The paintings are not conventionally hung on the wall. Rather, the artist places the works on the floor or upright against a wall. Their glossy surfaces are intended to reflect the passage of time, light, and people in the environment.
For his project at the IMA, Adrian Schiess has created a site-sensitive exhibition throughout the entire campus, using an arrangement of the flat panels and other multi-media devices.
Adrian Schiess was born in Zurich in 1959, and currently lives in Mouans Sartoux/Southern France.
Off the Wall features work by emerging or experimental artists in the third-floor atrium.
This exhibition is supported, in part, by a grant from:

CARLTON legend Mark Maclure has urged the Blues to look beyond the on-field brilliance of Marc Murphy when deciding on the club's next captain.
Murphy, 25, is the frontrunner to replace superstar veteran Chris Judd, who is poised to step aside after five years in the job.
CEO Greg Swann yesterday gave the green light for Judd to "concentrate on playing good footy" and help groom the team's next on-field general.
While a Superfooty poll was 40 per cent in favour of Murphy getting the nod, Maclure said new coach Mick Malthouse will challenge the players to think broadly about the leadership candidates.
"It's not always the best player," Maclure said.
"Is Nick Maxwell the best player at Collingwood? No he's not. But Nick Maxwell is a pretty good captain at Collingwood.
"It's not always the Marc Murphy who can get 35 touches, sometimes it's what he does when he hasn't got the ball and that's what Nick Maxwell does.
"It might be Kade Simpson who you don't hear much of, who slides under the radar all the time.
"If I think I know what Mick would want it would be one of the most well respected players and respected for what they do on the field and off it. Not because they can get 30 kicks a week."
Andrew Carrazzo and Michael Jamison both have strong support.
It is understood Judd, 29, is keen to offload some of the added captaincy responsibilities in the final year of his playing contract.
Greg Swann said the club would not force Judd to remain in the position if he had doubts.
"If he doesn't want to do it, well then, you don't want to make him do it," the Blues CEO said.

In his much-awaited legal response to the sensational sexual harassment claims against him, Mr McInnes did not address the details of the allegations but implied there were holes in her story. Mr McInnes resigned after the allegations were made in June. His defence was filed on Friday in the Federal Court.
The former CEO said he did not make "unwelcome comments of a sexual nature" during a lunch to celebrate the renewal of a contract between Gai Waterhouse and the Sydney-based retailer.
He said Ms Fraser-Kirk initiated a conversation at the lunch and she hugged other employees in the "same manner" as she hugged him. She has alleged he described a dessert at the function as being like a "f--- in the mouth".
In its defence, David Jones said Ms Fraser-Kirk was "witnessed engaging with [Mr McInnes] in a flirtatious manner" during the lunch, and she "was witnessed smiling as she walked away" from Mr McInnes after she hugged him.
After the lunch, Ms Fraser-Kirk told her supervisor and DJs' public relations general manager "in a light-hearted and jovial tone and without complaining that [Mr McInnes] had asked her to go for a drink with him at North Bondi".
Ms Fraser-Kirk has said she was "required" to attend a function for La Prairie cosmetics, where she says the CEO propositioned her. DJs said she told her supervisor she would "love to go".
The DJs board also denied it engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct by failing to correct statements made by chairman
Neither DJs nor Mr McInnes responded to allegations made by unnamed women in the claim. DJs said the allegations were "deficient and embarrassing".
Ms Fraser-Kirk's spokesman declined to comment on Friday.
She was criticised in the Federal Court on Friday for adding in support of her claim seven unnamed women who also allege they have been sexually harassed by Mr McInnes without knowing whether they are willing to give evidence in court. Rachel Francois, for Ms Fraser-Kirk, said at least one had not given express consent for her name to be released.
Justice Geoffrey Flick said her solicitors should have been satisfied before the claim was lodged that "each of the persons otherwise unnamed should have been willing to give evidence".
"Otherwise the allegation should not have been made," he said.
On Friday, Ms Francois tried to submit a document from one of the women. She said she wanted the evidence to be kept confidential because the woman had a "recognised psychiatric illness" and "her health is paramount".
The judge said twice he was concerned that Ms Fraser-Kirk's side "has had its say" and Mr McInnes "in particular is at this stage being denied the opportunity to have his say" because he did not know who the women were.

DADE CITY — Billy Brown has spent more than half a century keeping the lights on for the North Suncoast. He could have retired years ago and no one would have said a cross word. Instead, he directed his company to help revitalize Pasco's most impoverished community.
In 2007, the Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative began serving Lacoochee after it swapped some service territory with Progress Energy. The swap made good geographic sense because the co-op already served all of the area around Lacoochee.
It came into an area with crumbling infrastructure and crushing poverty.
"Many of those people basically don't have anything up there," said Brown, who celebrated 55 years at Withlacoochee earlier this month. "You've got 400 to 500 schoolkids with a future that doesn't look too bright."
Withlacoochee linemen began making $2 million in upgrades: new poles, new lines, new transformers. They sent back pictures of the area and Brown visited shortly after the co-op took over.
As community activist Karen Marler tells it, "That's when the true need became highly evident to all of them."
The utility shifted its mission from just providing reliable electricity to actively improving the living conditions in the area. According to member relations manager David Lambert, Brown came back from his trip and said, "We need to give those people a fighting chance."
Lacoochee has heard big promises before. The thriving company town never really recovered when the Cummer Cypress Co. sawmill closed in 1959. Many civic leaders began paying more attention to the area in 2003, after sheriff's Lt. Charles "Bo" Harrison was shot to death while on patrol near a nightclub.
Brown promised this redevelopment project won't fizzle out.
"We don't start things that we don't intend to finish," Brown said. "We're going to get that job done up there."
Marler, the former principal of Lacoochee Elementary, leads a citizens group for the Lacoochee-Trilby area. A representative from the co-op attends the group's monthly meetings.
Marler said Withlacoochee has the "economic and political prowess" to give the effort much-needed heft. Otherwise, she said, "the needs may have fallen on deaf ears."
Brown, who turns 78 next month, has been general manager at Withlacoochee for 38 years.
The Pasco High grad worked at the Cummer sawmill before starting as a Withlacoochee lineman in 1956. He has held nearly every job at the company, including stints as warehouse manager, billing supervisor and district manager in two offices.
He took over as general manager in 1973, after the utility's first leader was forced out after taking kickbacks when the co-op bought new vehicles. At the time, the Pasco Times praised the selection of a "low-profile hometown boy." These days, Withlacoochee is the third biggest electric cooperative in the country. A national trade group honored the utility this year for its work in Lacoochee.
Brown's connections are his biggest asset in the effort. In August, he attended a White House rural economic summit in Iowa. When he got face time with President Barack Obama and members of the Cabinet, he pressed the need for development in Lacoochee.
"I got some assurances from them that they were moving in that direction," he said.
Brown's top managers — finance director Ronnie Deese and Lambert — do more of the day-to-day redevelopment work.
On average, the pair spends about 20 hours of personal time each week in Lacoochee. They are hashing out the details of a grant for a new community center at Stanley Park. They organized a Lake Jovita fundraiser that raised $200,000 for the project. They brought U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson to the community. They lobbied county commissioners for a new ball field and other improvements.
"The majority of the people want to help themselves," Lambert said. "It's just they haven't had a voice."

Student Opportunities
Study in Asia
Coe's Semester in Asia
Students enjoy a traditional Northern Thai Khantoke dinner during Coe Semester in Asia 2007.
The purpose of this course, first offered during the Spring Term of 2007, is to give students an intensive look at Asian cultures in Thailand and Vietnam, with a brief look at Laos and Cambodia. A faculty member accompanies the students to each site, with an additional faculty person accompanying the students and staying for the first few weeks. In each country, students study language, read works in English about the culture, and work with students at the two host universities to gain a functional understanding of how each culture works.
- Thailand: The host university, Payap University in Chiang Mai, provides the language instruction and facilitates the interaction between the students in the program and the Payap English majors. In addition, they provide lectures on religion and culture. Payap has an international dormitory in which our students are housed, and it already has an established international program. The Thai portion of the program is in two parts. It will begin the middle of January and run into the beginning of March. (There will be a side trip of about three days to Luang Prabang, Laos, at the end of January).
During March, we visit Cambodia - Angkor Wat - for five days and spend a few days in Bangkok. After about three weeks, we return to Chiang Mai, and Payap University for the month of April. Then we'll enjoy the Thai New Year celebration (three days of parades and water pouring) and continue with independent projects.
- Vietnam: The host university, the National University of Vietnam in Hanoi, will make available to our students fast track English students who serve as conversation partners and hosts for our students. The language portion of the three weeks spent in Hanoi will involve these students and will focus on everyday structures and vocabulary. Their students also take our students to various sights in and around Hanoi.
- Side Trip: Luang Prabang, Laos: We'll visit Luang Prabang, the royal capital of Laos, which preserves traditional Lao culture as it was years ago.
- Side Trip: Cambodia: Angkor Wat will be our destination in Siem Riep, and we'll spend 4 or 5 days exploring the ancient ruins.
Coe Exchange Programs in Asia
Coe's foreign exchange programs offer students the opportunity to study abroad at cooperating foreign universities. Students must have completed at least one year of continuous study at the home institution before applying for one of these programs. Academic credit is transferred back to the home institution in accordance with the rules of that institution. A student may not study on an exchange program for longer than one academic year, and, when the study abroad term is completed, unless he or she is a graduating senior, the student must return to the home institution. Registration and payment of tuition and fees is done at the home institution. At the end of the school year, the host institution submits to the home institution a report on the students' achievements and official transcripts of grades and credits earned. Students are responsible for the following expenses: meals; transportation to and from the host institution; medical insurance or medical expenses; textbooks, clothing, and personal expenses; passport and visa costs; and all other debts incurred during the course of the year.

I thought it was over, I thought everyone was done being bitter about
old news. I guess I was wrong. Recent trips into Canada still prove
that fans hate Vince McMahon so much that they cheer his heels and boo his
faces. It's gone as far as Vince putting the screws to the Canadian
fans now by having Jericho come out to "Born in Manhattan, New York"
and Benoit come out to "Residing in Atlanta, Georgia".
Obviously Canadian fans are still upset with Vince over the "Screw Job"
to Bret Hart when he left for the WCW. In fact, they go as far as to
boo Shawn Michaels out of the building, Earl Hebner gets harassed
everywhere he goes in Canada, and all because Vince "screwed" Bret Hart.
I think everyone gets the picture by now, right" Wrong. You know who
screwed Bret Hart" Well it wasn't Vince, the WWE is his life. It's his
baby. He made it and he controls it. The whole family lives and
breathes the business. Now his star, the guy he pushed to the top of
the heap of talent, decides that he's going to leave for more money
with Ted Turner's WCW. In all honesty, if I was Vince. I wouldn't have
even let Bret Hart out to wrestle Shawn Michaels. I would have had the
cameras backstage record me fire Bret and then go out to the ring and
hand the title to Shawn. Now THAT would have been screwing Bret Hart.
The wrestling business has no place for soft touches. Soft promoters are broke promoters.
Was it Shawn Michaels fault" Let's assume he knew what was going to happen.
It's his job for crying out loud. If your boss told you to play normal
even though he was going to fire one of YOUR co-workers you'd keep your
mouth shut too. Don't lie to yourself. Shawn did what the boss told him to do.
Was it Earl Hebner's fault then" I mean he did call for the bell even
though the match wasn't over. Right" Why was Vince out there" To tell
Earl to call the match over. Once again. Your boss told you to do
something. You do it, or you're fired. Plain and simple.
So if it wasn't Vince's fault, not Shawn's fault and not Earl's fault...then whose fault was it"
The only person who could and did screw over Bret Hart....was Bret Hart.
Let's face it. He left one wrestling promotion for the other. He wanted
to go out the champion of the old promotion too!" Are you kidding"
