Miami (Ohio) RedHawks vs. Toledo Rockets Pick-Odds-Prediction - 1/29/14
Toledo Rockets (17-2) at Miami (Ohio) RedHawks (8-9)
College Basketball: Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 7:00 pm (Millett Hall)
The Line: Miami (Ohio) RedHawks +3.5 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: not listed
John D. Millett Hall will be hopping when Miami (Ohio) hosts the first place Toledo Rockets.
If the MAC season ended today Toledo would be raising the championship banner but it's still early and many pitfalls to avoid. After opening the conference slate with a loss to Western Michigan the Rockets have ripped off five straight wins after knocking off Kent State by an 81-73. This was typical Toledo with a bunch of points with 45.6% shooting enough to overcome the Golden Flashes 48% thanks to 27 -9 edge at the line. Justin Drummond paced a balanced attack with 15 points with Julius Brown and JD Weatherspoon dropping 14 each while Rian Pearson chipped in with eleven points and ten boards.
John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports
I don't think Miami (Ohio) will be one of the elite when all is said and done in the MAC but I have to say this has been a scrappy team, win or lose. The Redhawks improved to 4-2 in the conference with win number three in a row after decisioning Bowling Green 70-65. Miami led in shooting 46.7%-42% but owned a hefty 22-9 advantage at the charity stripe that was decisive in a five point game. Will Sullivan and Willie Moore paced the offense with 16 points each while Will Felder tossed in 12 and Quinten Rollins ten. The Redhawks ran an eight man rotation with each seeing at least 17 minutes and each scoring as well.
I think Miami (Ohio) is a bit better then advertised and Toledo is better as well. I know the world will be on the Rockets and I really can't blame them especially when the world could be right. I'll take the points for now and we'll see if the Redhawks are improved...

Welcome to the fourteenth edition of Clyde & Co's (Re)insurance and litigation caselaw weekly updates for 2015
This Week's Caselaw
Jetivia SA v Bilta
Supreme Court considers whether a company which is a victim of fraud by its directors can sue those directors/the ex turpi causa defence
The Court of Appeal decision in this case was reported in Weekly Update 30/13. The directors of Bilta perpetrated a VAT fraud which left Bilta owing HMRC over £38 million. Bilta was wound up and its liquidators sought to claim against the former directors. The directors in turn raised the ex turpi causadefence (which is a public policy principle that prevents a claimant from using the court to benefit from his own illegal conduct). The directors' argument was rejected at first instance and the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal from that decision. The Supreme Court has now unanimously dismissed the directors' further appeal.
Although the Supreme Court's decision was unanimous, differing reasons for the decision were advanced by the Lords.
Lords Neuberger, Clarke and Carnwath held that illegality could not be raised as a defence because the wrongful activity of Bilta's directors cannot be attributed to Bilta in these proceedings. They disapproved of the expression "the fraud exception"(ie in an action for breach of duty against the directors there cannot be attributed to the company a fraud which is being practised against it by its agent, even if it is being practised by a person whose acts and state of mind would be attributable to it in other contexts). Instead they (and Lord Mance) saw the question as an open one: whether or not it is appropriate to attribute the act of a director to the company in relation to a particular claim.
Lord Sumption held that prima facie there was attribution, regardless of the nature of the claim, but that a breach of duty exception applied (he noted that this is commonly referred to as the fraud exception, but said that it was not limited to fraud).
Lords Toulson and Hodge based their decision on the question whether the illegality defence would deprive the duties owed by the directors to the company of all content (but did not believe that the directors' acts could be attributed to Bilta either).
COMMENT: As in the House of Lords case of Stone & Rolls v Moore Stephens (see Weekly Update 28/09), there was disagreement here as to the precise rationale for the court's decision. (In Stone Rolls, the House of Lords allowed the ex turpi causa defence where a claim was being brought against a third party by the company, rather than against the fraudulent directors themselves). These two decision therefore lead to the sense that the courts will look at the overall justice of each case in order to determine whether the defence should be allowed. In this case, it was plainly unjust to bar a claim by the victim of the fraud (ie the company) against the very perpetrators of that fraud by attributing the fraudulent acts to the company.
The London Steamship Owners' Mutual Insurance Assocn v (1) Spain (2) France
Court of Appeal considers whether right of direct action against an insurer under foreign law was subject to the terms of the insurance policy
The first instance decision in this case was reported in Weekly Update 40/13. The claimant insured a vessel which sank off the coast of Spain, causing an ecological disaster. Both Spain and France brought criminal proceedings directly against the insurer in Spain (relying on both the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage ("the CLC") and Spanish legislation (for non-CLC claims relating to the insurer's obligation to indemnify the owners against their independent liability for the tortious acts of the master)). The insurer obtained negative declaratory relief from a London arbitral tribunal and sought to enforce the award as a judgment in England. The key issue was whether the direct action brought by Spain and France for the non-CLC claims was subject to the terms of the insurance policy (and, in particular, the arbitration agreement and "pay to be paid" clause). Spain and France argued that they were not bound by the arbitration agreement in the policy because their rights of direct action arose independently under Spanish law.
At first instance, Hamblen J granted the application to enforce the award as an English judgment (with the result that the insurer could rely on the (then) Article 34(3) of the Judgments Regulation to prevent recognition of any later Spanish judgment against the insurer). Spain and France appealed and the Court of Appeal has now held as follows:
(1) The nature of the right conferred by Spanish legislation is defined by the insurance policy (and is not an independent statutory right): "Where a wrongdoer is insured against liability of some kind it will be possible to identify an insurer who may be held liable in his place, but, unless the legislation is intended to work in an arbitrary fashion, it will be necessary to establish that the contract covers the liability in question. That in turn means ascertaining the limits of the insurer's obligation, which also means that he should be able to raise any defences that would be available to him in an action brought by the insured" (as per Moore-Bick LJ). It is only if the legislation conferring the right of direct action expressly prevents the insurer from relying on the terms of the policy that it can be said that a new right (which is not intended to mirror in substance the insurer's liability under the policy) has been created. In this case, the Spanish legislation in question pointed to the conclusion that it was intended to enable the enforcement of obligations arising under the insurance policy. Since the policy provided for London arbitration, under English law Spain and France must pursue their claims against the insurer in arbitration.
(2) France and Spain were not entitled to claim state immunity for the following reasons:
(a) They had "taken a step" in the English proceedings (and so the exception set out in section 2(3) of the State Immunity Act 1978 applied). The Court of Appeal confirmed that merely filing an acknowledgment of service does not amount to a waiver of immunity (in this case, the box headed "I intend to dispute the court's jurisdiction" had not been ticked).
However, Spain and France had commenced proceedings under section 67 and 72 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (challenging the award) and so had waived immunity in relation to the insurer's application under section 66 of the Act (to enforce the award) too: "If the application had been issued only for the purposes of claiming immunity, it would not have constituted a relevant step in the proceedings… but in fact by its application notice Spain sought a declaration that the arbitrator did not have substantive jurisdiction because there was no arbitration agreement between itself and the [insurer]. The application notice, therefore, was directed to the substantive grounds for setting aside the award and had nothing to do with Spain's right to claim immunity from the jurisdiction of the court".
(b) Although not necessary to decide the point, the Court of Appeal also held that section 9(1) of the 1978 Act applied: "Where a State has agreed in writing to submit a dispute which has arisen, or may arise, to arbitration, the State is not immune as respects proceedings in the courts of the United Kingdom which relate to the arbitration".
Spain and France had not consented to the arbitration merely by acquiring a right under Spanish law to make a claim against the insurer. However, by bringing proceedings in Spain to enforce against the insurer an obligation which was subject to an arbitration clause, it was held that they had consented to arbitration. The Court of Appeal agreed with Hamblen J that there was no need for a document signed by or on behalf of the state for there to be an "agreement in writing". Instead, by pursuing the claim in Spain, Spain and France had adopted the arbitration clause (even though they had not formally signed it).
Accordingly, the appeal against the order enforcing the award was dismissed.
Moreno v Motor Insurers' Bureau
Court considers impact of Rome II on assessment of damages for English national injured by uninsured driver in Greece
The claimant, an English national, was injured by an uninsured driver in Greece who was driving a car which had been registered there. She therefore made a claim against the Motor Insurer's Bureau under Regulation 13 of the 2003 Regulations (which implemented the fourth motor insurance directive). Liability was admitted but there was a dispute as to whether the measure of compensation payable should be assessed in accordance with Greek or English law (in this case, the level of damages would be higher if assessed by English law).
The same issue was considered by the Court of Appeal in Jacobs v Motor Insurers' Bureau (see Weekly Update 40/10). There, it was held that English law governed the assessment of damages and it was said that the Rome II Regulation (which the ECJ eventually held was not in force at the relevant date inJacobs) would not change this position. This was despite the basic position prescribed by Rome II that, for claims in tort for personal injury, the law of the country in which the damage was inflicted applies to issues of both liability and damages.
In this case, Gilbart J agreed that the position prior to the coming into force of Rome II was that compensation was assessed in accordance with the law of the country hearing the claim (ie, here, the law of England and Wales). However, he said that since Rome II came into effect, if a UK claimant is injured in a motor accident in Greece by an uninsured driver, the law by which compensation will be calculated will be the law of Greece. However, he said that he was bound by the decision in Jacobs (even though he believes it was wrongly decided).
It is worth noting that the judge subsequently granted the MIB a certificate allowing it to appeal this decision directly to the Supreme Court.
Webb v Liverpool Womens' NHS
Whether court can make an issues-based costs order where claimant beat its Part 36 offer
The claimant made a Part 36 offer covering her entire claim. It was rejected but she went on to beat it at trial. However, she lost on one issue. The defendant therefore argued that it was entitled to an issues-based (or proportionate) costs order. The claimant countered that it is not possible to make an issues-based costs order where a Part 36 offer has been bettered because Part 36 is a self-contained regime and costs have to be considered in the context of that regime and not the regime created by Part 44.
Saffman HHJ held that, leaving aside the Part 36 offer, an issues-based costs order would have been appropriate in this case (the issue on which the claimant had failed having been a separate, self-contained and discrete claim). The judge went on to consider the effect of the Part 36 offer on that position. He held that the fact that there has been a successful Part 36 offer does not mean that the court is unable to make an issues-based order: "I accept that Part 36 is a self-contained regime and that the Rule itself makes no reference to such orders - in distinction to Part 44.2. Nevertheless, in so far as such an order is necessary to avoid injustice it is in my view permissible for the court to make it". Accordingly, the claimant would be entitled to only a percentage of her costs under Part 36.
Birdseye v Roythorne
Whether privilege can be only be waived by someone who is aware of their rights
This case involved alleged waiver of legal advice privilege by executors. Of general interest is the argument raised by one of the executors that his reference to advice given to him by his solicitors did not amount to a waiver because he had not been aware of his rights at the time. The executor referred to the general principle that a right cannot be waived unless a person is aware of his right of election as well as the facts giving rise to it (see eg Peyman v Lanjani [1985]).
However, Newey J confirmed that that principle does not apply to waiver of privilege. In so doing he cited Thanki, "The Law of Privilege": "the basic position in England is that once the substance of privileged material is divulged to one's opponent, even by accident and even where there is no implication of an intention to waive, privilege is prima facie lost" and that waiver in this context differs from its meaning elsewhere in the law. The judge also rejected an argument that privilege can be waived by accident only at trial or as a result of disclosure by list and inspection: "To my mind, however, privilege can be waived by inadvertence at any point".
However, the judge did note that it may be easier to remedy a mistake made in advance of trial (eg by applying for an injunction or relying on CPR r31.20 (which provides that where a party inadvertently allows a privileged document to be inspected, the other side can use it only with the permission of the court).
Christofi v National Bank of Greece
Whether time for an EU resident to appeal registration of a judgment can be extended
CPR r74.8 provides that if a judgment debtor is not domiciled within a Contracting State, and an application to extend the time for appealing registration of a foreign judgment is made within two months of service of the registration order, then the court may extend the period for filing an appellant's notice against the registration order. In all other cases, the rule provides that the appellant's notice must be served within one month or, where service is to be effected on a party not domiciled in England and Wales, two months of the service of the registration order.
The issue in the case was whether an EU resident could ask the English court to extend time for appealing registration.
The judge held that he cannot. The fact that the rule expressly refers to extending time for a non-EU resident, but is silent in relation to EU residents implies that the Rules Committee envisaged that an extension of time could not be given to an EU resident. Nothing in previous European and domestic case law contradicted that view. Accordingly, "there is no general power to extend the mandatory two month time limit for appealing in this case. The Court is obliged to enforce that time limit strictly, subject only to the residual power to extend a mandatory time limit in the rare case where its application would impair the very essence of the right of appeal, and strict adherence to it would infringe Article 6 ECHR".

That is what politicians do, both parties do it. Except, I don't know what fallacies, the Republican elite like the democrat elite want their pick and not the pick of the people. Both parties are dysfunctional for a long time now.
I could not agree with either Ms. Trotter or Bradmaster anymore than I already do! You both have made excellent observations.
Express, I just talked to my best friend. We are contacting all organizers of 3rd party effort to give our support. She wrote Mitt Romney. I went to Bill Kristol's site. Off I go to contact more!
Your involvement in the process is encouraging. I wonder if Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan could step up to challenge Trump. I know that many disagree, but Trump is not a Republican. Even worse, he is simply not to be trusted with his flip flopping.
Barb and I were discussing, although we don't want her to win, it might be better to let Hillary win (not vote for her). Then Republicans can regroup and be ready for 2020. If Trump gets it this time,it is doubtful that he will have competition2020

Brad why does he lie for no reason. Those audiotapes are him. I think liberal medium is getting ready to head in for the kill to help Hillary. Watch Smerconish tomorrow morning. He promises to entertain.
Diane, Do you really want Hillary? Talk about liar. The liberal medium, what is that? I don't listen to cable TV News, I don't even have it on my plan.
Nooooooo I don't want Hillary!!!!! I don't like liberal (CNN, MSNBC) or conservative (Fox, OAN) for shoveling shinola down our throats. I'm hoping people will now vet Trump properly and see that he is a creep and come up with a decent person ASAP!
Diane, so if you are not influenced by cable news, left or right, where do you get that Trump is a creep? You say he lies but who is he lying to, about what that relates to government? Out of the 3, he is the lesser of evils.
I'm old enough to remember him having his girlfriend Marla Maples at the same ski lodge with his family. I've seen him on Stern and other shows being ridiculous. All the clips about him, with his mouth, tell who he is. When he tells, believe him.
How does that mean anything today? It appears that you have no real basis other than emotion to no like Trump today.
Nope! He is the same guy he was then. He says he is a Christian but doesn't need forgiveness. He labels anyone that doesn't support him some ridiculous name. All of the liar names apply to him. He won't even admit he's on the video.
Vote for whoever you want, but your Hate for Trump is baseless.
Hmmmm! I had to check back to see if I said I "hate" Trump. I didn't. I try not to use strong words like that. I think he is a narcissist with no self control. Every day he tops the last ridiculous thing he said. He is Putin's best friend!

Texas' respect hasn't wavered, despite meager results
DALLAS–For players across the Big 12, Texas is still "Texas" even if they're not quite Texas anymore.
Let me explain.
It's been five years since Texas has claimed the Big 12 or Big 12 South, its longest such streak in Big 12 history.
"People don't respect us the way (Texas was) respected back in the day. It's up to us to change that," Diggs said. "Hey, they have a point. We haven't won the games like they won back in the day."
For fans and media around college football, Diggs is right.
"On that six game win streak, we didn't jump into the top 25 until the last game," he said. "People expect a lot from Texas and I respect that. That's what made us want to come here."
I was curious if Diggs' presupposition applied to players across the league, too. The short answer? The Longhorns rep hasn't taken as much of a beating in the last five years as the critics who don't step onto the field might think.
"Texas is never a team to take lightly," Iowa State senior defensive end Cory Morrissey said. "It's like waiting for the dragon to wake up and come out of its lair."
Iowa State, who hasn't won a conference title since taking home the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association trophy in 1912, beat Texas in 2010 and nearly did it again last year, but the Longhorns escaped with a late game-winning drive.
The Longhorns burgeoning budget hasn't translated to wins since their 2009 Big 12 title and BCS Championship Game appearance. An 18-17 record in Big 12 play in the following four seasons cost Mack Brown his job, but it's not enough to change how Texas is viewed by players around the league.
"My first year, I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm playing Texas'" Iowa State center Tom Farniok said. "That was pretty intimidating and it was kind of my first, 'Wow, I'm playing at a high level' moment."
Farniok, by the way, is talking about the 2011 Longhorns, who were coming off a 5-7 season and finished 7-5 in the regular season before beating Cal in the Holiday Bowl.
"They're always going to get the top recruits. They always have all the talent," Oklahoma defensive end Geneo Grissom said. "They're always going to be a team that can beat anybody."
The Longhorns' recruiting experienced only marginal slippage during the down years, which makes it easy to look at more than just win total. Players like Oklahoma's Chuka Ndulue, who played high school football in Dallas, knew the top talent from the metroplex and saw them become Longhorns.
"Texas will always be Texas," Oklahoma defensive lineman Chuka Ndulue said. "(Down years) happen. Look at Muhammad Ali. He lost his championship and then got it back."
The Longhorns may not be truly feared on the field like they were when Colt McCoy was tossing an incompletion every four games, Vince Young was breaking three tackles a play and Brian Orakpo was bullrushing double teams of tackles and guards, but history and talent are impossible to ignore.
"Texas is Texas, whether they're undefeated or didn't win any games. They're a big name school," West Virginia receiver Kevin White said. "If you can't get up to try and beat Texas, something's wrong with you."

School District Appeals in the Name of Non-Discrimination
Agape Press
An Ohio school district has asked a federal appeals court for permission to give flyers promoting religious events to elementary school students. The Crestview School District is hoping the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will reverse a Toledo judge's 2002 ruling that bars teachers from passing out flyers for religious groups. Although secularists claim activities such as passing out flyers that promote religious events are in violation of the so-called "separation of Church and State," Crestview Superintendent John Basinger says such activity is protected under the First Amendment. He suggests that the schools' interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is not in agreement with the 2002 court decision. "We really felt that [court decision] forced us to discriminate against the religious groups in our community," Basinger says. He adds that the district "didn't feel that was appropriate for our community or for the mission of our school, and so we consequently appealed that to the Circuit court there in Cincinnati." The school administrator says, contrary to what opponents claim, the district disagrees that the flyer distribution represents an unconstitutional endorsement of a particular religion. Basinger insists that the district's policy is one of non-discrimination. According to the superintendent, the majority of families in his community hold to strong conservative values and are outraged by the earlier court-imposed censorship. A ruling from the Cincinnati-based appellate court is expected in several months.
Arsonists Torch Charity Office
Voice of the Martyrs News
Arsonists and Buddhist monks firebombed the office of a Christian charity last Friday amid increasing religious tensions in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, officials said. More than a dozen men hurled petrol bombs at a building in Anuradhapura housing the World Vision office, setting it ablaze, police said. The Christian humanitarian has been conducting social work in Anuradhapura for years. "Nine men, including three Buddhist monks and a university professor, have been arrested for the attack," said MN Junaid, secretary to the interior ministry. Attacks on churches have escalated since December following the funeral of a Buddhist monk, Gangodavila Soma, who led a campaign against religious conversions by Christian groups. Although medical reports said he died of a heart attack, some Buddhists have blamed Christians for his death. Buddhists make up 70 per cent of Sri Lanka's 18.6 million people. Buddhist groups have urged the government to introduce legislation against religious conversions. About 6 per cent of Sri Lankans are Christians.
Activist Calls Chinese Ministry Conference 'Staged' Communist Propaganda
Allie Martin, Agape Press
An outspoken Christian activist based in Wisconsin is leading an informational protest this year at an annual symposium on ministry in the People's Republic of China. As the Sixth Annual Symposium on Church Ministry in China kicked off earlier this week in Cypress, a suburb of Houston, Texas, Pastor Ralph Ovadal of Wisconsin Christians United (WCU) was on hand to lead a protest at the four-day gathering. WCU's executive director says that symposium, which is being presented and underwritten by the Christian Leadership Exchange, is nothing more than a shameless propaganda stunt, completely staged on behalf of the Chinese government's state church. He notes significantly that this year's symposium features no Chinese house church Christians or pastors, and no representatives of the unofficial or "underground" Christian movement China. Ovadal says the symposium organizers came with an agenda. "These people are here to convince Americans that there is no persecution in China for the Christians and that if everyone would just get on board and join the state church, then everything would come up roses," he says. But the pastor contends that the view of Chinese Christianity being presented at the symposium is false. "Of course we know that we have Christian brothers and sisters suffering greatly in China," he says, "and so we're here to expose what's going on." To that end, Ovadal's group has been handing out leaflets, talking to attendees, and holding up signs at the entrance.
Hindu Fundamentalist Target the Catholic Church
Compass Direct
Hindu fundamentalists have launched an attack against the Catholic Church in India in the rural Catholic stronghold of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, and the more sophisticated region of Goa. The attacks are directly linked to conversion issues in both states. The Catholic Bishops Conference of India spoke out against the potential misuse of anti-conversion laws in its 26th biennial general meeting on January 7. In response, Hindu activists demanded an inquiry into the assets and activities of Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity. Meanwhile in Jhabua, government officials claimed the January 13 murder of a nine-year-old girl, whose body was found in the grounds of a Catholic school, was a "well-planned conspiracy" against the Catholic community. Finally, Hindus claim a stone found recently in the Bishop's Palace in Panaji, Goa, is an ancient Hindu relic. Catholic officials fear the stone may give grounds for "re-possession" of the Palace, which some Hindus claim was built on the ruins of an old Hindu temple.

text: Waking Sleeping Beauty Stone Circle Pictures and Red Shoes Productions, released through Buena Vista Home Entertainment, present a retrospective on eleven transformative years of Disney Feature Animation. The feature is assembled from a variety of sources, and in most cases, recomposed for the purpose of this documentary for the 16:9 frame, and is accompanied by a Dolby Digital 5.1 sound-track. Without interruption, the disc will run previews for two other Disney documentaries being released at the same time, The Boys and Walt & El Grupo. There are extensive other on-disc features, and a 'special collectable' reproduction caricature. Subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing are also available by the player. Some places where the audio is less than perfect from the original source are also subtitled for all. The packaging is much like many other Disney releases, with a cardboard slip-cover over a conventional DVD case. Enclosed within the plastic shell is the lithograph and, of course, the DVD itself. Suggested retail for this disc is $29.99, and will be released in North America on Tuesday, November 30, 2010. The Feature — •••• In 1984, Disney Feature Animation was practically dead — or at least on life-support. The films of the era were not doing well, morale was low, the Animation department was not understood by the rest of Disney, and, at the time, Disney Entire was not doing very well. Eleven years later, with a number of lurches, fits, and starts, the engine had caught and was running, with the release of Lion King, right on the tails of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. This film, made largely by some of the members of Disney Feature Animation, traces that window of time, and unflinchingly looks at some of those moments when the entire process could have crashed and exploded into flaming wreckage that would have killed Disney Animation entire. Even after ten or fifteen years, some people still nurse their bruised toes and egos, even if they were ultimately proved right or wrong. The same people are both heros and villains — at the same time. Some of the major players — again, more often than not on both sides of the hero/villian fence — include Eisner, Katzenburg, R. Disney, Menken, Ashman, Wise, Bluth, Lasseter, Wells, and... and so on. The film is told through interviews shot or recorded at the time, allowing for the posthumous presence of Roy Disney, Howard Ashman, and Frank Wells. This is then supplemented by new art, old art, and some new interviews. Something that helps make this a particularly interesting view of the film industry is that this view of this particular era is not being observed and commented on by the outside "experts," nor even in a "relaxing on the beach conversation" that one might also get from senior executives reminiscing on the period through a sufficiently deep-colored pane of rose glass. Rather, much is coming from the rank-and-file animators and the low-level supervisors who lead the teams working on the nuts-and-bolts of the films. Or to paraphrase what everyone is saying in one of the supplements, "warts and all!" The Picture — •••½ The picture is difficult to evaluate with a number. Very little of this program is 'new' photography for the feature, although they did photograph the interviews. Instead, the vast majority of the image content comes from period films and videos, ranging from hand-held Feature Animation Studio Tours shot in Super-8mm, to VHS and UMatic videos, to even archival film from much earlier. By modern standards, of course, much of this imagery looks— bad. But these are, essentially, home-movies. Except for when they really, truly are home-movies. That said, the important part is, the picture is generally 'not bad.' At least in the sense that the noise-reduction, mosquito noise, edge enhancement, and all that jazz, are not particularly noticeable. With one major caveat. In the feature-film itself, most of the in-film titles, captions, and such, have horrific vertical edge enhancement. Enough so that I wonder if it was, in fact, intentional. It is quite bizarre, and whatever the reason, that treatment is not applied to the captions and titles in the supplemental features. Thus I am left to work with the assumption that someone goofed somewhere in production and it overly sharpened just that layer. Still, very odd. The Sound — ••• The sound is Dolby Digital 5.1 surround. Which is kind of odd, given that almost everything is monaural interview and voice-over type sound. With some music. Excerpts and such from the modern-era feature films expand out, but this film's sound is very simple, and primarily front and center, which is pretty much how it should be. The interviews of dead people, such as Howard Ashman, Roy Disney, and Frank Wells, as well as period interviews, of course are not modern recordings. And sometimes they are 'beyond hope,' and are captioned. But for the most part, the audio is clearly intelligible. The Extras — •••• There are a lot of extras packaged with this disc; I suspect that they might have also included a kitchen sink if they could figure out the logistics. Anyway, extras include: • a 5"x7" color print on card stock. In my case, it is the aftermath of a story meeting between Howard Ashman, Kirk Wise, and Gary Trousdale during Beauty and the Beast. Draw by Mr. Wise. • Sneak Peaks: African Cats, Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 Collection on Blu, Bambi Diamond Edition on Blu, and Lion King Diamond Edition on Blu. • Why Wake Sleeping Beauty? A nine minute discussion about not only why the film was made, but the whys and hows of many of their key decisions about the making of the film. • Deleted Scenes: these represent large chunks of 'great stuff' that just could not fit into the film. Small bits eventually made it in, but not anything like these sometimes remarkable segments. The deleted scenes include: — Black Friday: nearly five minutes on the making of Aladdin, from the early 'draft' of the movie and being told, "dump it and start over." — Howard's Lecture: twelve and a half minutes of Howard Ashman talking to the animators about his philosophies on music, musical theatre, and animation. — Losing Howard: five minutes on the illness and eventual loss of Howard Ashman. — Recording "Part of Your World": six and a half minutes of Howard and Jodi Benson in the recording booth, discussing how to sing the song, as well as a number of samples of the song. — Research Trips: four and a half minutes of a research trip to Australia for Rescuers Down Under. — To Sir With Love: shy of two minutes animators reflecting on the departure of Katzenburg. • Studio Tours: samples of these are shown throughout the film. Randy Cartwright (an animator,) got a Super-8mm camera, and wanted to try it out, and did a walking tour of the Feature Animation studio in 1980. And then again in 1983. And then again in 1990. These three are shown in their entirety in this section of the disc. About five minutes each. • A Reunion: slightly over two minutes of Kirk Wise and Rob Minkov talking about the fact that they had known each other since "time began." • Walt: six minutes on the big W and the parallels between the 1930s and the 1980s. • An audio commentary by the director and the producer, with inserts from others on occasion. Fairly active, without a lot of "oh, look, here's another excellent [fill in the blank] like some other commentaries include. In The End — •••• For the idealistic Disney fan, this is probably not a good film, as it is "warts and all." And there are a lot of warts. It is a realistic, frank, and sometimes blunt study of a very dark time for an animation studio, the meteoric rise (which is actually a fairly strange oxymoron,) and the costs of that rise. For those interested in the mechanics of Hollywood and "comeback stories," or even business and economic histories, Recommended.

If you're already the Thane of Falkreath, you just need to talk to the Jarl's Steward. The same applies to any of the other home sites.

BANBURY: More than 700 people attended the funeral of tragic marathon runner Claire Squires yesterday.
They wore touches of red, the 30-year-old's favourite colour, to the service held in North Kilworth, Leicestershire.
The hairdresser was running for Banbury and District Samaritans, where her mother Priscilla is a volunteer, when she collapsed near the finish of the 26-mile run on April 22.
Donations to the charity have since topped £1m.
Ms Squires was buried in the same grave as her brother Grant, who died in 2001 aged 25.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Moorehouse were among those contributors:
Moorehouse Settlers in United States in the 19th Century

How to get a new business started: get an unsecured business loan By Amanda Tom

If you already have the plan to start off a business of your own, than all that you need is the finance to get your started. Of course, this is easier said than done, since accessing capital can be difficult, depending on your financial situation. Banks usually tend to give loans to those business projects which are bigger, more ambitious, so other finance possibilities may be a better option, especially if your idea is a small business – with big plans to make your company a tycoon. Luckily, US have their own financial institutions which can provide businessmen with an unsecured business loan or business loan bad credit. The first type of loan provides a lot of flexibility for the new businessman, offering him the chance to invest either in setting up a business, renovating, renewing equipment, advertising or other purposes. The idea is that you get to use the money for urgent necessities or for the development of the business, without any need for security against the loan, which means there are no risks for your properties.
Getting an unsecured business loan can really come as a great solution when you need a quick and flexible loan to help you develop you plans. The sums you can expect to get from a unsecured business loan can vary a lot, from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand, usually somewhere near 300.000 $. Of course, the amount you can get will depend on the credit history. In recent years, because of the global recession we are facing, many firms have started having financial problems, so there is not surprise when older or younger companies look for business loan bad credit. The business loan bad credit is a type of financial aid which aims to help those companies which have declared bankruptcy or which have loan related issues. Not every financial institution will offer business loan bad credit, so more effort has to be put into finding the company which will invest in your plans. You have to plan your budget carefully from the beginning and make sure that your business plan is feasible. This will make it easier for you to access funds, because complete and valid business applications are a priority next to other, less documented files.
What you can do to make sure everything is O.K. and apply for the loan is get a lawyer look at your papers and avoid signing anything until you get his approval. The idea is that if you build a strong application, investing your time and effort into creating a plan that has a great success rate, you will surely have the best chances to get financial aid for your business plans.
US financial institutions can offer plenty of opportunities for small businesses, including business loan bad credit and unsecured business loan.

Although faculty and staff understand about absences due to illness and injury, it is often difficult to contact everyone involved with the student's campus life when a situation such as a major illness occurs. The staff in the Office of Student Life can provide professors and supervisors with electronic or written letters notifying them of the student's absence. However, our office may require supporting documentation (e.g., a doctor's note, letter from primary care provider) to verify your student's illness or injury.
In cases where the illness or injury requires a significant number of absences from classes, medical withdrawal or cancellation of registration may be necessary. The staff in the Office of Student Life can explore these options with the student and can facilitate the process of withdrawal/cancellation and work with the student upon his/her return to the UTEP community. Medical or mental health withdrawals/cancellations are handled by Student Business Services.

But proceed with caution, these mini pancake doughballs may just have you drooling all over the table if you're not careful. Available at midtown's sexiest Italian osteria for weekend brunch, this derivation of the flapjack-dear is a must try for any hotcake connoisseur.View this Smart List
The family of Terroni restaurants is currently eight-strong in Toronto (with two additional locations in L.A.), each spot boasting its own vibe. Bar Centrale is a daytime café that turns exclusive wine bar when the sun goes down. Fresh insalate and antipasti selections complement a range of handmade pastas, all of which pair perfectly with a vino chosen from Terroni's lengthy wine list. Like most of the culinary empire's restaurants, this one gets packed, but its umbrella-covered rooftop overlooking hurried Yonge Street is worth the wait, sure to dissipate any waiting-irritation with its romantic wood panelling and warm fairy lights.View this Smart List

From: Arthur Quarmby, Underhill, Holme.
THE media pounds our ears with bad news about housing and young people. The young will be condemned to rent for life, as they will never be able to buy a house, we are told. I wonder what planet these journalists are living on? I study house prices locally in newspapers, and on the internet, and there is an absolute profusion of cheap old houses for sale which nobody wants. Cheap means above and below £100,000. Yes that is still an obscene amount of money; a house is of simple construction which should cost far less than a motor car, but then housing is stuck in the Stone Age.
These cheap houses are small, old-fashioned and probably in terrace form – but do all these young people want a house, or don't they? Can they really expect to start at the top? Is there anything wrong in starting small and cheap, with the determination to do better in due course? Even buy something inadequate, a wreck even, and restore it with youthful enthusiasm and help from your friends. There is plenty of housing waiting for young people to buy – what is stopping them?
Or do they prefer to moan about their inability easily to buy new five bedrooms, three bathrooms and double garage? That is unrealistic, and should not be propounded.

The Construction of Social Reality Paperback
by John R. Searle
This short treatise looks at how we construct a social reality from our sense impressions; at how, for example, we construct a 'five-pound note' with all that implies in terms of value and social meaning, from the printed piece of paper we see and touch.

Review by Jewsbury
Searle is deeply interested in how we enrich the raw reality of our physical world with complex cultural trappings such as cathedrals and ceremonies, games and government, language and licenses, money and marriage, and tax and tickets. The functioning and relevance of such concepts rests entirely on a communal belief in their validity. That acceptance affords a societal status to certain people, associations, processes, acts and objects. Without this added status, the social entities are absent. His explanations of how these come about are careful and well presented. Indeed, it is a pleasure to read Searle's account. He is not one of those modern philosophers who tries to impress, shock or confuse. Instead he makes a lot of sense. However, be prepared, he does sometimes intend a technical meaning for some everyday words (eg intentional, propositional and aspectual). That he feels it is necessary to defend an existence for external reality is a sorry state for modern philosophy. Nevertheless he explains clearly why one should assert there is an external world that impinges on our senses, a rational world we all share. This world is the necessary base stock upon which our society grafts our rich and interesting cultural world.

Happy Friday!
My friends know that I've been waiting with bated breath for the iPhone to finally come to Verizon. I refuse to put up with AT&T's network problems.
Up to now, I have been happy with my Motorola Droid (I am a big-time Google guy) but in hindsight I have to admit it was always a stopgap while I waited for the iPhone.
Well, now the iPhone is coming, and Verizon has finally dropped the first commercial for it. So, here's a little diversion to whet your appetite:

And why are you calling me a noob? What is it what makes you so elite then?
But the only reason why i want this, is to make this forum a better and safer place.
Deffintley NOT for the power (which is why most want it).
I have allot of free time on my hands, and spending most of it on the forum.
I want to use that time in a valueble way, by helping out ass minion.
Eventually, the mods will decide if they take my offer or not. I just wanted to know how you guys felt about it.
I think your a real nice guy, and of course pretty knowledgeable in MW2, youve contributed alot to these forums since youve been a member. But there in lies the problem for me, youve only been a member for 2 months. My opinion is you need to build up a solid reputation over time...look at that Koen guy, a member for a few months, got minioned, and wreaked havoc on the forums with his irresponsibility, but he was a guy who was very active and contributed a ton. I know people are gonna disagree with me, but I think it takes time to develop credibility. If you do get minioned now, Im not saying you wont do a great job BTW.

Hello Great Folks,
This is great work and I am up and running with OSX 10.9 Mavericks in VM Player 6 on Windows 7 Professional.
I have question on CPU & cores the 10.9 VM sees:
- In the VMware Player, I have set Processor Cores to 4,
- (Mac OS X 10.9.vmx) => numvcpus = "4"
- How ever the (Apple) -> About this Mac -> shows only 2 x 2.48 Ghz Unknown
From above does the 10.9 Mavericks in the VM see a dual PROCESSOR system or a single processor dual CORE system ? .
If it sees a single processor DUAL core system, how to overide some setting somewhere so that it sees 4 cores ? I have set these to 4 from the VMware Player control panel.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Despite all the buzz about the Internet's potential to improve patient health, a recent study found that people over the age of 50 responded better to print information.
The subjects were randomly divided into groups who would receive tailored information either online or in print that encouraged physical activity, according to the study published at the Journal of Medical Internet Research. The groups received similar advice on three occasions: within two weeks after the baseline, two months after the baseline, and within four months after the baseline, based on a second assessment at three months.
Both groups had a dropout rate that was not explained by user characteristics. However, the print group had higher participation (19 percent) compared with the online group (12 percent.) Low intention to be physically active was a strong predictor of dropping out for both groups.
Participants of the Web-based group were significantly younger, more likely to be men, had a higher body mass index and a lower intention to be physically active than those who got printed advice.
The authors, however, aren't giving up on the Internet as a cost-effective means to influence high-risk populations. They urge more research on the subject.
Two surveys reported just this week found positives for online consumer health information. In one, 11 percent of respondents said information found on a health website had saved their life or prevented severe incapacitation. The second reported online health information created a more positive outlook toward cancer prevention and diagnosis among lower socio-economic groups.
American Heart Association officials earlier this month said social networks in particular can aid in the weight-management efforts among children. A review of 18 different studies, though, concluded that while online weight management programs can be useful, but aren't as effective as face-to-face consultations.
Meanwhile, an article in the Journal of Medical Internet Research concluded that mobile devices can be an effective way to encourage physical activity.

Anything To Make Me Happy
It was Friday night, in the Cullen household; quiet and calm—for a change—Alice and Jasper were watching a movie with Edward and I, in the living room on the huge plasma TV; Carlisle and Esme were someplace else in the house, and Rosalie and Emmett were in the garage fixing Emmett's monster of a Jeep. Somewhere in the middle of the movie Esme brought me a slice of her amazing triple chocolate cake; it was deadly sweet, velvety smooth and ubber moist. Charlie never had a problem, trying to shove two slices down his throat.
Just as I was about to take my first bite, a thought occurred to me; Edward and I were discussing my happiness earlier today; how he would do anything and everything just to keep me happy…I wondered if that counted for human food?
I glanced at Edward, before glancing at my cake again and then back to Edward; could I make him do it? Could I be mean enough to make him eat human food to make me happy? I guess we would find out. I was hoping that Alice had not seen my choice or at least kept it hidden from Edward; I always wondered how deep his devotion went for me.
It took me a few seconds to realize that I was staring at Edward with my fork still in hand. Edward looked down at me with confused anxious eyes, his eyebrows pulled together in worry. "Bella, what is it?" He asked concerned; his anxious eyes searching my own for the answer, my thoughts would never reveal to him.
So Alice had been keeping this from him. Excellent! "I thought you liked that kind of cake, do you not wish to have it?" Of course Edward would jump through hoops to make sure I was happy...Excellent!
"Oh, no; the cake is perfectly fine" I hurried to reassure his silly worries. "I just had a thought is all…I was wondering about something is all." I said grinning like a mad man, who had just learned his somewhat incompetent lackeys actually managed destroyed his arch nemesis. Oh sweet victory!
"Wondering about what, love?"
The million dollar question; I was practically squealing with delight on the inside, while the outside was calm.
"I just curious as to how far, you would go, make me happy." I tried very hard to keep a straight face, not to mention, trying to keep my emotions from flooding over and giving me away. It was nearly impossible—to find my shield of numbness for my personal dark times into the light, and use it to enclose myself off from Jasper's gift; Edward would know exactly what I was thinking, if he knew what I was feeling.
"How did you do that?" Jasper asked curiously; I could feel his gift trying to find a way around my shield of numbness; it would find no holes to penetrate my shield. I had mastered this over eight months of heart ache and pain.
"I rather not say, but let's just say…you won't win, so stop trying, while you are still ahead." I told him gently, not taking my eyes off of Edward; I steeled my shield of numbness, keeping it like a steel bubble around me, perfect and round. Instantly I felt Jasper's gift retreat and focused on fully on Edward again. "Well…" I asked again "What would you do to keep me happy?"
"I've already told you Bella" Edward's features were becoming more confused; it was so adorable, when he was so absolutely clueless. "I would do anything and everything to keep you happy; have I not made myself clear?" He asked anxiously, his hands cupped my face ever so gently. "I will do anything and everything to make and keep you happy, my love; no matter what the cost, no matter, who I have to see, or where I have to go. I will move mountains to make you happy." Honesty and promise leaked out of his every word; I totally believed him.
"Moving mountains sound like fun!" I said "can we bring Emmett with us? Can we go tomorrow?" Becoming side tracked for a second—I had to fight to keep my shield around me.
Of course right on cue—if he had one—Emmett darted into the room "Uh…yeah, you can bring Emmett with you!" He boomed excitedly. "We go as soon as you are ready Bella! Moving mountains…this girl thinks of the best things to do with vampire strength! Besides Rose's bedroom antics of course," He said for her benefit I am sure.
"Ugh…TMI Emmett!" He just laughed before darting back to the garage of the rest of the night.
"Why do you ask Bella, if you already knew?" Edward asked once Emmett had left the room "Do you doubt me?"
"No" I said sincerely, seriously "I do not doubt you in the slightest…but see I had this thought on how far you were willing to go." I said, trying to reassure him of my understanding on the subject. "I was just wondering if human food was on the list of doing anything to make me happy or not." I stole a glance at Edward's dumb struck expression.
Priceless was the only word that came to mind; utterly priceless, it took everything I had to keep my steel bubble of numbness around me, to keep Jasper out. Of course Emmett was back in the living room with a look of sheer anticipation and disgust on his face.
"You said anything" I reminded Edward gently lifting my fork with a bite size piece of cake on the prongs "but if you don't…"
"Bella…don't do this to me…" Edward pleaded with me unhappily; he looked absolutely petrified. "Would it truly make you happy to eat human food?"
"It would make me happy!" Emmett boomed. Alice and Jasper had been quite almost the entire time.
"We're not talking about you Emmett!" Edward hissed furious; then turned his attention back to me, with gentle unresolved eyes. "If it makes you happy my love, I will eat the whole slice and not complain." He told me surrendering to my every whim.
"Well…it's nice to know…but if you think I am going to waste a perfectly good piece of chocolate cake on watching you eat it…I think not!" The look on Edward's face was beyond priceless now; his jaw nearly hit the floor, his butterscotch eyes wide, nearly popping out of his head, his body was rigid as could be. "Like I would actually make you eat human food to keep me happy Edward. God I love you so much!" I crowed "The look on your face was beyond priceless; oh god...that was the funniest thing...ever." I could barely contain my laughter; Edward had to take the plate out of my hand so I didn't drop it.
"You Miss Swan...nearly gave me a heart attack—not the easiest thing to do—I swear my heart beat once in my chest, just to stop again." He scolded me desperately trying to keep the humor out if his voice; he could never stay mad at me. "I think I may actually be mad at you." He teased glaring at me.
I gasped, faying my hurt feelings "Did I?" clasping my hands together in front of my chest, as if I were in pain. "Well maybe I need to make it all better."
I straddled myself in Edward's lap, locking my arms around his neck, pressing my body as closely as I could to his; while I gave him little kisses all over his face. I kissed both his cheeks, the tip of his nose, his forehead, along each side of his jaw to the point of his chin, and his throat—paying extra close attention to the bite marks Carlisle left behind so long ago. Saving the best for last, I kissed Edward's lips until the room was spinning and I was gasping for air; my heart beating fast and jagged in my chest.
"Am I forgiven?" I asked breathless.
"I want to say 'no' so badly; but I would be lying if I did." Edward chuckled just as breathless as I was; with one hand threaded in my hair and the other pressed tightly to the small of my back.
"Well...you could lie to me if you wanted too" I mused grinning "But then you would have to apologize to me; until I forgave you."
"I think I handle lying to you."
"I think I can let you forgive me."
Letting go of my shield of numbness, I let all of the love I had for Edward, leak out of each and every kiss I gave him this night.
The End
