Comparison of the Iowa State University Effluent Limitation Guidelines Model with the Soil-Plant-Air-Water Model for Evaluating Containment Basin PerformanceTransactions of the ASABE
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date1-1-2010
AbstractThis article compares results from the Iowa State University Effluent Limitations Guidelines (ISU-ELG) model to results obtained using the Soil-Plant-Air-Water (SPAW) model to simulate feedlot runoff containment basin overflow volume. The objective was to verify that the ISU-ELG model was providing a reasonable prediction of basin overflow. The ISU-ELG model uses a set of guidelines to determine if land application is acceptable, whereas the SPAW model uses a soil moisture criterion. The criterion for determining if a particular day was suitable for land application of basin effluent was investigated to determine the effect on basin overflow volumes. The results show that the ISU-ELG model overpredicted the percentage of feedlot runoff controlled in comparison to the SPAW model at all five locations investigated. For wetter areas in Iowa, the number of drying days had a large effect on basin overflow volumes, whereas for the drier northwest region of Iowa, this effect was limited. Possible methods of improving the ISU-ELG model predictions include adding a soil moisture accounting function to model moisture levels in the land application area or calibrating the number of drying days required before land application can commence. Alternatively, the SPAW model can be used, but this requires additional user inputs and increases complexity in modeling the runoff control system.

When you read these, I, that was visible, am become invisible;
Now it is you, compact, visible, realizing my poems, seeking me;
Fancying how happy you were, if I could be with you, and become your comrade;
Be it as if I were with you. (Be not too certain but I am now with you.)
Leaves of Grass, *73
Born May 31st 1819 in West Hills, Long Island
Saw himself early on as "American"
Went to school until he was 11
Worked as an office clerk, printer's assistant and a teacher.
Read the classics, but never went to college.
A facination for writing and for the big city led him to become a journalist
He took a trip west that exposed him to more of America
In 1855 he published "Leaves of Grass" with his own money
"Leaves" continued to be revised until it was in its 9th edition
Whitman ignored tradition, abandoning rhyme schemes, "the king's English" and meter.
He invented a way of writing that expressed what he saw and how he felt.
He created poetry without limits because the lines flowed into one another, pulling the reader in.
He claimed to be the voice of America - identifying himself in "Leaves of Grass" with every element in the universe
He was self made - creating his image as the "every man"
At first glance full of contradictions, he was "in the crowd, but not of it"
Whitman went to care for his brother who was wounded at the First Battle of Fredericksburg
While there Whitman cared for many other wounded soldiers
What he saw profoundly affected him and his writing
He wrote that "the real war will never get in the books" knowing that the toll of the war was felt by those in the hospitals and left dying on the battlefield
I HEAR America singing, the varied carols I hear;
Those of mechanics—each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat—the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench—the hatter singing as he stands;
The wood-cutter's song—the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
The delicious singing of the mother—or of the young wife at work—or of the girl sewing or washing—Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
The day what belongs to the day—At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.
A SIGHT in camp in the day-break grey and dim,
As from my tent I emerge so early, sleepless,
As slow I walk in the cool fresh air, the path near by the hospital tent,
Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there, untended lying,
Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woollen blanket,
Grey and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.
Curious, I halt, and silent stand;
Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest, the first, just lift the blanket:
Who are you, elderly man so gaunt and grim, with well-grey'd hair, and flesh all sunken about the eyes?
Who are you, my dear comrade?
Then to the second I step—And who are you, my child and darling?
Who are you, sweet boy, with cheeks yet blooming?
Then to the third—a face nor child, nor old, very calm, as of beautiful yellow-white ivory;
Young man, I think I know you—I think this face of yours is the face of the Christ himself;
Dead and divine, and brother of all, and here again he lies.
The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me—he complains of my gab and my loitering.
I too am not a bit tamed—I too am untranslatable;
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
The last scud of day holds back for me;
It flings my likeness after the rest, and true as any, on the shadow'd wilds;
It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk.
I depart as air—I shake my white locks at the runaway sun;
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.
I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;
If you want me again, look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am, or what I mean;
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged;
Missing me one place, search another;
I stop somewhere, waiting for you.
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--
I, too, am America.

The Roots of Betrayal Paperback
by James Forrester
From the author of The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England, now a major BBC 2 TV series, and SACRED TREASON comes the brilliant new Elizabethan thriller.1564: Catholic herald William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms, is the custodian of a highly dangerous document.
When it is stolen, Clarenceux immediately suspects a group of Catholic sympathisers, the self-styled Knights of the Round Table.
Francis Walsingham, the ruthless protege of the queen's Principal Secretary, Sir William Cecil, intercepts a coded message from the Knights to a Countess known to have Catholic leanings.
He is convinced that Clarenceux is trying to use the document to advance the cause of the Catholic Queen. And soon Clarenceux enters a nightmare of suspicion, deception and conspiracy.
Conflict and fear, compounded by the religious doubts of the time, conceal a persistent mystery.
Where has the document gone? Who has it and who really took it? And why? The roots of betrayal are deep and shocking: and Clarenceux's journey towards the truth entails not just the discovery of clues and signs, but also the discovery of himself.

Review by passion4reading
William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms is in possession of a dangerous and explosive secret document that could spark another Catholic rebellion if it fell into the wrong hands. Finding it stolen one day, he suspects his friend and ally, Rebecca Machyn, to have taken it and single-handedly sets out to retrieve it, much to his own personal cost.This novel is set about six months after the events in Sacred Treason, and even though the plot of this novel builds on them, it is not necessary to have read the prequel as the author brings the reader up to speed from the beginning. It starts as an old-fashioned tale of adventure, involving a secret document, traitorous plots against the queen, encrypted messages, devious courtly intrigue, pirates, battles on the high seas and sword fights, peopled with characters that range from high-ranking court officials to naval commanders and pirates to common prostitutes. Woven through the narration are the threads of betrayal, friendship, loyalty and faith. The protagonist William Harley, usually referred to in the novel as Clarenceux, is a devout Catholic and the events described in this book see him torn between his deeply held religious beliefs and his conscience, his loyalty to Sir William Cecil and thus ultimately to the queen, to his wife and to Rebecca Machyn, a woman whom he secretly loves.I am slightly surprised at all the positive reviews this novel has received so far because I found it hard going at times. It starts slowly, there's a lot of toing and froing involved with no results to show for it, and I sometimes felt as if I was treading water with no plot developments to sustain the interest. It is true that the author paints an atmospheric picture of London, Southampton and surrounds, conveying a very good sense of time and place to the reader, but I felt that in his attempt to draw a vivid picture he succumbs to the temptation of making it too descriptive, the narration being too weighted down with the intricate detail of its depiction of Elizabethan life. The prose mostly remains purely functional, and in my opinion felt slightly clumsy at times. He uses a lot of archaic nouns in his descriptions of people and places and there is a fair amount of maritime terminology to be found where I would have welcomed a glossary in the appendix. I had problems picturing the layout of Calshot Fort in my mind and therefore found the section of the fighting action taking place there confusing, and it was difficult to keep track of the movements and fates of the various soldiers involved. The fact that the pirate captain Carew just happens to overhear a crucial part of information whilst he is lying in wait outside the windows is just too convenient and lets the otherwise high standard of this novel slightly down. Throughout the book I had a feeling of disengagement from the main character and could never really warm to him; mostly I just felt sorry for Clarenceux, escaping from one place of imprisonment and torture only to end up in another. The best part in my opinion without a shadow of a doubt is the thrilling and exciting sea battle, painting an extraordinarily vivid picture of the chaos, desperation, determination and noise in all its gory detail, a truly nail-biting piece of writing.This second volume in what appears to be a series of books centred around William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms, will inevitably draw comparison with C J Sansom's Shardlake series, set in England only about 25 years before. I think this book is a pale imitation of Sansom's evocative portraits of Tudor England, and would have advised the author on a different period setting for his novels. Ultimately I feel that the publishers are trying to capitalise on Sansom's success by publishing more historical thrillers set in Tudor times, as there obviously seems to be a demand for it. Disappointing, I had expected more.(This review was originally written as part of Amazon's Vine programme.)
Review by Helenliz
This is a fictional Tudor tale of betrayal and intrigue and derring do. William Harvey has in his possession a document that claims to show of a marriage of Anne Bolyn that would make her marriage to Henry VIII invalid and make Elizabeth illegitimate - and this is clearly a threat to Elizabeth's throne. Harvey is catholic, but he also has no desire to forment rebellion. So, instead of using the letter to overthrow the Queen, he simply stores it - and guards it. When it is stolen, therefore, he heads off after it - and gets into a few scrapes in the process. Another prime character is the pirate & bastard Raw Carew. until these two characters meet, the book proceeds almost by alternating chapters about one then the other. this makes the first part somewhat disjointed - it all flows a lot better once they get together. To try and describe the scrapes that Harvey and Carew go through would take almost as many pages as the book (it's not short). but it is a pretty lively story and not short of action. The book ends with a resolution of sorts - there is hope and honour restored and Harvey feels he's done what he considered his duty in the face of plotting and double dealing of the machinery of the state. There is a prequel and at half way i wouldn't have bothered, but by the end I could see myself trying it again.

Successful day scavenging for the Blankenships.
We spent $232 at the recycled building place.
- French doors---for the front door; in better condition than the ones we originally picked. One door needs glass and we'll make both match (remove the mullions on the one). Then sand them and paint them red.
- PVC shower basin/insert. We'll pour concrete around it and lay redwood slats over the top.
- Glass dividers for shower -- we'll build a half wall with these two glass pieces as the top half (this will make more sense when you see my new sketch of the house) shower basin behind the glass panels
- Hearth! We got these 6 orange clay blocks to lay on their sides (like the one in the middle) to put the wood cookstove on. If that makes it too high, we'll use them as a heat sink between the wall and stove. They came from a University of Idaho building. $1.50 each
- Toilet tank lid as bathroom shelf (cantilevered style) and a "safety light" from a grain elevator (might stay a light, might become a wall-mounted vase)
- Concrete sink. I LOVED this sink. The design, the size. Even though it's cracked (I say that side could be dry storage with a wood panel/cutting board over the top of it...). But Keith would not budge. Only $50.
- Rusty dented pale blue catwalk wire rack, to hang as an overhead pots/pans rack---only $20! I also LOVED this but Keith was Meh so we passed.
- Truck mirrors mounted in the bathroom.
- Ceramic tile floor instead of concrete (cheaper, still a good heat sink)
- Fold-down table

The employers' liability insurance market remains dominated by a group of large, established insurers. As a compulsory line, however, this is a market that commercial insurers must enter to offer mid-market commercial combined or SME packaged products. Given this dynamic, an insurer's employers' liability business is often best not regarded in isolation but linked with the performance of public liability and commercial property books. The employers' liability insurance market saw sluggish growth in 2015, as premium rates continued to lag behind claims inflation. The market is expected to experience difficult conditions in the coming years due to the impact of Brexit and developments in the government's personal injury reforms.
Key Findings
- The top 10 insurers accounted for 68% of the total market in 2015.- Zurich is the largest employers' liability insurer with an estimated 14% of the market.
- Only half of the top 10 employers' liability insurers increased gross written premiums (GWP) in 2015.
- AIG and Travelers suffered the largest book contractions within the top 10.
Verdict Financial's "UK Employers' Liability: Competitor Dynamics 2016" provides an analysis of the competitive landscape within the UK employers' liability insurance market, covering the GWP progression of the major employers' liability insurance underwriters between 2012 and 2015. It also examines recent developments that have impacted these companies and the overall employers' liability insurance industry.
Reasons To Buy
- Benchmark yourself against other players in the market.
- Adapt your proposition to gain a competitive advantage.
Companies Mentioned
- Zurich
- Allianz
- Liberty Mutual

Prediction # 9 – Marketing and sales focus will be needed to thrive
There is a 'sea of sameness' with the accounting profession. They pretty much all look the same and act the same way. If you want to stand out then you must market your firm. If you want to grow it then you must market for new business and have skills to sell the new business.
Firms are already hiring specific marketing people and dedicated sales people (often called 'rain makers') to generate new business. These skills can be bought in or learned.

New lease on life for Strand
Rockland — Even as the news that local businessman Meredith Dondis had died at age 93 began to circulate the city, the future trajectory of the historic cinema formerly owned and operated by his family for decades was being made clear. The Strand Theatre made a public announcement Friday, Feb. 7, that it is going forward as a nonprofit organization.
The official transition actually occurred Jan. 1 and has been in the works since the end of 2012. Ellen Simmons gave the 1923 venue to the nonprofit Friends of the Strand Theatre, which had its genesis in a committee formed two years ago after her husband Matt Simmons' unexpected death.
Ellen Simmons had charged a group that included Jo Dondis, Meredith's daughter; community members John Bird, Wick Skinner and John Rosenblum; and former Strand director Donna Daly with exploring future options for the theater. A telephone survey was conducted during the summer of 2012 to help gauge public reaction to different scenarios. By the end of that year, a decision to go nonprofit was made and 2013 was spent creating the new entity.
Friends of the Strand Theatre is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Its board of directors is chaired by Jo Dondis of Camden with Dan Bookham of Rockland as vice-chairman; Roy Hitchings of Camden, treasurer; and Mary Koberstein of Camden, secretary. John Bird of Spruce Head, Mary Ann Carey of Spruce Head and Chris Brownawell of Rockport are directors at large.
In a press release, Ellen Simmons said this seemed to be an auspicious and appropriate time to turn the theater over to the community.
"My husband, Matt, loved the Strand and our family got involved with bringing it back to life because we felt it would be such an important resource for the community. After he died three and a half years ago, my daughters and I felt strongly that we wanted the Strand to continue to serve Midcoast Maine," she said.
As far as the personnel and programming, there are no plans for change.
"We've learned that people really love the Strand. There's nothing broken to fix," said Sarah Ruddy, who became the theater's executive director after Daly's departure last year.
She added that small improvements and changes will continue as needed; at the end of last year, for example, the Strand completed the work to become compliant with the Digital Cinema Initiative. It still has a film projector, however, and the ability to screen film movies.
Ruddy said the vast majority of venues like the Strand — small film houses that show independent, vintage and "art" films — are 501(c)3 nonprofits that draw funding from the community in the form of memberships and donations, rather than going the capital campaign route.
"It's a reflection of the relationship, I think. The theater is like an extension of their living room," she said.
Ruddy and the Friends are trusting that fond feeling of ownership will lead to the Midcoast community's support of the new reality. Come April, a membership campaign and other fundraising efforts will be unveiled with a goal of raising $1 million "to generate enough income to sustain the theater."
In the meantime, there are donation envelopes in the theater and a donation page on the website, rocklandstrand.com. There also is a donation box in the lobby.
"If someone has an extra dollar in their pocket, they can put it in. Everything's tax deductible," said Ruddy, who invites anyone interested in being part of the new effort to contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com or 701-5053.
A small group of community supporters and family foundations have given generously to enable the transition from a business to a nonprofit. In coming days, a preview slide at Strand screenings will thank them for this support.
"They have been amazing! When we first approached them, the first thing they said was, we really love the Strand, it's so important to our community, what can we do to help," said Jo Dondis.
The response encouraged Dondis and the board, which she said was a really good group of hard-working people, about the cinema's prospects.
"I have great confidence that we will be able to fundraise and operate a really robust nonprofit," she said.
She added that her father knew about the transition, as she was interested in his reaction and advice.
"He was very excited that the Strand was going to continue as the Strand," she said.
The Strand was originally opened in 1923 by Joseph and Ida Dondis, Meredith's parents, and was owned by the Dondis family until 2000, when it was purchased by Peter and Denise Vivian. The following year, the Vivians sold it to a Maine limited liability company affiliated with the Flagship Cinema chain and the Strand's doors were closed. In 2003, the Maine Attorney General's office filed an antitrust lawsuit, sparked in part by The Courier-Gazette's investigative journalism, to compel the sale of the cinema to someone who would turn the projectors back on. The suit was dropped shortly after Matt and Ellen Simmons, seasonal residents of Rockport and proponents of historic preservation, purchased the shuttered cinema in 2004. The Simmons family spent a year and a half — and more than $5 million — to restore it to its art deco origins. The Strand reopened in July 2005 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
This is a wonderful gift. I have enjoyed the Strand's movies, live shows and more recently, Shakespeare National Theatre streams for a long time. Thanks Simmons family for helping keep our community vibrant.
1] Many thanks to the Dondis & Simmons families
2] I think there is at least ONE non-profit that every year makes a donation to the city for the equivalent of the taxes they do not have to pay
3] If other not-for-profit entities think they are part of the Rockland community have them show it by making "donations" to the city
Much like the Farnsworth, I feel the revitalized Strand is an asset to the downtown. Especially now that they are a "non-profit" and will pay NO property taxes. This will save them money which they in turn can put into programs. What a shame the remainder of Main Street businesses could not do the same. Remember the landslide on Waldo ave years ago and the city required all new businesses to pay for landslide protection ? Why not do the same on Main Street and have all "non-profits" pay for a new parking garage on Tilson Ave.

Where have I been?
Where have I gone?
Well friends, my life has been upside down for a few months now. Against I am sure many people's better judgement, I tell you I am going through a separation that appears to have only one possible conclusion, Divorce. That was very difficult to write and likely difficult to read.
So what can I say? My kids occasionally read my blog so I'm not going to go into detail. Not being able to write my usual witty snark is difficult enough, I just haven't felt it. Not writing at all is even more difficult.
As I said, my kids read my blog occasionally. My
ex estranged wife does also used to. I can't do anything about that. They all know how I feel and what we are going through, but for you wise reader, here's a breakdown of what has been lost.
19 years of marriage. I wouldn't try to fool anyone by saying marital bliss because it hasn't always been bliss. If you've been married, especially to a stubborn man or woman like my wife and I, you know better. Marriage, like life, doesn't follow a Hollywood script. The highs can make you dizzy and the lows can cause depression. It is a constant struggle, one that for the right person we go through willingly. Next October will be (would be?) the 20th anniversary.
3 kids came of this union. I wouldn't trade them for anything. My Teenwolf, who struggles to be so much like his dad, yet makes many of my mistakes. I want to tell him to make new mistakes, learn from my path. I'm very proud of the way he has turned out. He has rough edges, but deep down he is every bit of who I hoped he would be. Shaggy had a rough start in this world, but he's finding himself as he is getting older. I'm happy that he is comfortable with himself, so few people ever are. I hope his wandering spirit brings him home now and again when he is ready to leave. Princess Sassy Pants (PSP) is the late addition we desperately wanted to the family. A good 10 years behind her eldest brother, she has allowed me to revitalize my parenting. We learn so many things as our children grow and so often we say, "I wish I could have done better with that.." She is my wish come true.
1 Home held us. Sure, there was a room, a borrowed house, a condo, a townhouse, and a house all in the mix, but only one home. They say "home is where you hang your hat" but for me, home is where your family is and hangs all their hats. There is a husband hat, a wife hat, one for each kid, there are brother and sister hats, man and wife hats to name a few. Now, it has less hats, like riding in a speedboat less hats.
One. As in "the two shall become one." Conjoined twins who share a vision, a heart. Can you truly live with one eye and half of a heart? God can probably come along and fix us up, good as new, but I know he isn't enjoying it.
I don't like Divorce. It's painful in every possible way. It makes you question every thing you've ever said or done. It makes you feel like a failure. It is more than a break-up, but an amputation, some might say it is a living death.
Is it easier to hear "I've found someone new" or "I'd rather be alone than be with you" I realize that sometimes we don't actually get to hear either one, but isn't this the underlying message? Both are equally destructive, causing massive wounds to self-confidence. I'd rather face these questions out loud and in my face than let them swim in the undertow. How about the seemingly less intense, "we just aren't right for each other?" This statement merely invalidates the 19 years, some of which were or felt very right. Lest we forget the granddaddy of all, "we've grown apart." Well, again, we are invalidating any work we've put in over 19 years to build a life together. The proverbial "whatever."
Statements like the latter two seem to indicate that God (or the Universe) makes mistakes which doesn't seem to be in his character. More importantly, those statements take the blame for the failure off the people who are most to blame. It's like a day at the fair: you bought your ticket, you ate some food, you rode some rides, you experienced the thrill of the height or speed of the ride, maybe you experienced the low of throwing up some of that food because of those thrills. At some point you get your fill of the fair and you leave. It's how it's supposed to go, right?
Marriage is as much about the Sickness, the Poorer, and the Worst of Times as it is about their opposites. Nobody ever won the Medal Of Honor for working at the Burger King on post. Surviving the bad times is what makes the good times seem so much sweeter. It is your badge of courage, your Medal of Honor.
Friends tell me how much better off I will be when it's all over.
They are wrong.
I've missed the folks over at Yeah Write and thought I'd share this week with them.

WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) President George W Bush today called Afghan President Hamid Karzai in the aftermath of the country's worst suicide attack and urged him to ''stay strong,'' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
''The president said the murderous act reminds all of us about the brutality of the enemy we are facing,'' she said. ''The president said that America cares deeply about the Afghan people and he urged President Karzai to stay strong.'' Afghans began three days of mourning on Wednesday for the dozens of people, many of them children, who were killed by the blast.

Can't wait for next year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue? Well, don't! An SI employee has leaked more behind-the-scenes shots of the upcoming issue...and the girls are super hot.
MJ Day, a Senior Associate Editor at Sports Illustrated magazine, has posted a bunch of photographs on Twitter of models Hilary Rhoda and Esti Ginzburg posing for the 2010 edition of the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. All photos were uploaded in the last nine days, and the locations of the photo shoots are unknown.
MJ has fun with the captions to the photos. On one photo of Esti she teases, "Tweets, you have no idea what Esti just did!! Swimsuit epic and totally off the hook! I want to tell but I can't!" On another pic she writes, "Esti says topless blondes have more fun!!!" and "The diamonds pale in comparison to the gorgeousness that is Hilary Rhoda!"
The 2010 issue is going to be awesome.

In a recent interview with Gwendoline Christie, who plays Captain Phasma in the new Star Wars trilogy, there were of course some questions as to whether or not she could give any hints about episode 8 which comes to theaters next December 2017. Of course the answer was no.
Of the next movie she had this to say, "I don't think anyone's going to be disappointed." There were also questions about her character that she would be reprising and if we might get to see the helmet come off this time around. However she has supported the choice to keep her character's appearance a mystery saying, "I thought it was a really interesting opportunity to play a female character where we formed an opinion of her based on her actions rather than the way she has been made flesh." Christie continued saying, "And that concept within a Star Wars movie, a mainstream phenomenon, was very modern and interesting and exciting. I made no secret of the fact I wanted to be in the film, I campaigned hard to be in the film. But to be in it as that kind of character – she's a woman, she's in armor, the armor isn't sexualized, and in the film we don't see the actor's face – I thought that was an exciting, modern concept."

A Review – By RAJNNI
Shahrukh Khan(SRK) in and as FAN…the tagline should have read: SK, the star and SK the fan…The director tried to portray one different from the other, but if we look at it from the audience's POV, it seemed like one was an extension of the other and that's how deeply the characters were etched, with blurred boundaries…both synonymously working together, like conjoined twins…and to active such a feat, credit really goes to this Star Performer SK…aka King Khan – This movie has Shahrukh Khan written all over it…from his early days of struggle as an actor to his charismatic persona as a Star weaving in between his own obsessed state of a megalomaniac who generates worldwide hysteria among his fans, one who unashamedly claims…if there is an award out there, it's rightfully mine !!
It's a life drama with a couple of laughs thrown in rather than a real comedy and it has a more philosophical take on life rather than in a drama, FAN is a very contained, yet a vast repertoire of SK's huge cinematic universe…It treads very carefully between the reel and real life of a Superstar and his obsessed Fan. This one could very well have been a disaster were it not for the extremely committed performances of its two leads – Shahrukh and Shahrukh.
Unlike most of SRK's films, which feature large, intersecting ensembles, the action of FAN is almost entirely comprised of interchanges between these two, and mostly a mind game, as one resides within the other.
A very real life phenomenon, that psyche of a fan embedded in transferred glory, the perils of being a near look-alike of his idol, has been dealt in a clever 'how will he' manner!
While FAN is sometimes an ungainly hybrid of destructive obsession and star power hysteria, it has its share of hard-earned merits.
The story is as common as life and all of us, at some point in our lives, are all guilty of: this 'Celebrity Worship Syndrome' …but here is where the storyline turns interesting…It has enough turns and twists to keep you engaged and I will leave it at that…Don't want to fill this space with spoilers.
The Director very cleverly deals with this Intense-personal level of obsession bordering on neuroticism, almost psychotic behaviour. If you can look beyond the mundaneness of the music and the never-ending chases, it's quite a watchable experience…..Very slick editing and clever special effects aids the story-line well.
The dialogues are all deja-vu, because his scenes are mostly constructed, literally, from his earlier movies. But here, the predictability of the sounds instead of being contrived – somehow, shine through with energy, talent and that SK magic, and together with the Director, they pull it off!
I am not a SRK Fan, and I still loved the movie….I can only imagine what this movie would have done to his real Fans…They may go berserk, crazy with the insights this movie provides, and the up close and personal encounters that the viewers go through….So 4 stars for this FAN ! Do watch it, if nothing else, at least for the simple life lesson it reiterates – Be yourself, build your identity…not much point in chasing glamour and overlooking all the hard work all successful people put in, which is what makes them succeed….

LONDON, March 27 (IFR) - Global GDP will fall by 2.4%, sterling plunges against the dollar, UK interest rates rise to 4% and US corporate bond spreads will widen by 1,150bp under the 2017 "stress test" scenario for Britain's big banks.
The Bank of England set out stress test scenarios on Monday for this year's health check of seven bank and building societies. The annual test is aimed at making sure they are resilient enough to withstand a deep global and UK recession and severe stress in financial markets.
Most scenarios are similar to last year's test, but some have changed as the Bank of England said global vulnerabilities "are elevated and have increased somewhat over the past year".
Under this year's test the peak-to-trough fall in global GDP will be 2.4%, compared with a 1.9% decline in the 2016 exercise.
UK GDP falls by 4.7%, compared with 4.3% in the last test, although the stressed scenario for unemployment is kept the same at 9.5%.
UK base interest rates rise to 4% under the 2017 stress test, in contrast to last year's test, in which base rates were cut to zero. The result is that banks will suffer higher losses from bad loans, but benefit from higher interest income.
US corporate profitability falls and the cost of corporate credit rises under this year's scenario. Ten-year US government bonds yields rise to 3.5% and financial market participants become risk-averse.
Investment-grade US corporate bond spreads increase to 515bp from about 135bp and high-yield US corporate bond spreads widen to 1,615bp from 465bp. The 1,150bp rise in high-yield is 100bp more than in last year's test.
The sterling exchange rate index falls by 27% from its Q4 level and troughs at US$0.85 to the pound.
Oil prices fall to US$24 per barrel under the stressed scenario, and remain at that level until 2019.
China's GDP growth falls from around 7% a year to a 1.2% contraction by the end of 2017 under the test. Singapore's GDP contracts by 7.2% and India's annual growth slows to 2.2%.
Other changes are similar to last year's test, including a projected 56% fall in Hong Kong commercial real estate prices, a 40% drop in UK CRE prices and a 33% drop in UK residential property prices.
Banks will also have to apply misconduct fines and costs for known issues.
Analysts said the domestic stress of the test is similar to the 2016 scenario, but the global stress looks tougher.
The results of the test will be released between October and December.
Each bank has to remain above a benchmark capital levels, which have been set for each at the same as in 2016.
If they fall below that level under the stressed scenario they will be required to take action, which could include having the raise capital or stopping dividend or bonus payments.
The seven banks had to have a minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5% on average under the 2016 test. The four most globally significant - HSBC, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered - had to hold slightly more capital.
RBS failed last year's test and had to submit a new capital plan, which was accepted by regulators. Barclays and Standard Chartered passed the test only after taking into account "strategic management actions".
The Bank of England is also this year making banks go through a second test at the same time, known as an "exploratory scenario".
That will test them over a seven-year horizon to capture longer-term trends. It is not focused on bank capital adequacy, but is about their business models and sustainability. (Reporting by Steve Slater)

Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is quite rare, difficult to diagnose without surgery, and has a poor prognosis. Here, we report a 48-year-old man with SBA and a 21-year history of CD who was diagnosed by a combination of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Since the age of 27 years, the patient had been treated for ileal CD and was referred to our hospital with persistent melena. Multiple hepatic tumors were found by CT. PET/CT detected an accumulation spot in the small bowel. DBE revealed an ulcerative tumor in the ileum about 100 cm from the ileocecal valve. An endoscopic forceps biopsy specimen showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. There were some longitudinal ulcer scars near the tumor, and the chronic inflammation in the small bowel appeared to be associated with the cancer development. Previous reports suggest the risk of SBA in patients with CD is higher than in the overall population. Since early diagnosis is extremely difficult in these cases, novel techniques, such as PET/CT and DBE, may be expected to help in making a preoperative diagnosis of the development of SBA in CD.
Previous studies have documented that patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of developing colorectal and intestinal cancer[1–6]. However, because of its rarity, there is limited data on the precise cancer risk of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). To date, recommendations for screening and surveillance have been supported by very limited data[7]. Even in extensive colitis, a recent report found that colonoscopy surveillance may not improve survival[8], and other tools are needed to detect cancer development in the early stages. Here, we report a patient with a 21-year history of CD who developed a SBA that was detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) without conventional intestinal examinations.
A 48-year-old man who was diagnosed with ileal CD as a 27-year-old was referred to our hospital with persistent melena. His family history was negative for this disease. He had no evidence of gluten intolerance. He had been treated with 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) combined with an elemental-diet (ED) therapy and had several hospitalizations for temporary melena in the past two decades. He had not agreed to have an intestinal examination at regular intervals. In January 2007, he was examined by abdominal CT due to persistent melena for 1 year, and multiple metastatic tumors were discovered in the liver (Figure (Figure1A).1A). Blood tests showed a slight anemia (Hb 11.8 g/dL), but he was negative for inflammatory factors. The serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was elevated (31.6 ng/mL; normal range, < 2.5 ng/mL), and wall thickening in part of the ileum was detected by CT (Figure (Figure1B).1B). PET/CT showed accumulations in the multiple hepatic tumors and the wall thickening of the ileum (Figure (Figure2).2). DBE showed an ulcerative tumor in the ileum about 100 cm away from the ileocecal valve (Figure (Figure3A).3A). There were some longitudinal ulcer scars near the tumor (Figure (Figure3B).3B). An endoscopic forceps biopsy specimen showed microscopically poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma (Figure (Figure4A4A and andB).B). Immunohistochemistry of the tumor cells was negative for p58 and positive for β-catenin (Figure (Figure4C4C and andD).D). Accordingly, he was diagnosed with SBA with hepatic metastases. Although he was treated by chemotherapy with S-1 and cisplatin (CDDP), there was no effective response. He died 4 mo after the diagnosis because of liver failure due to progression of the hepatic metastases.
Primary SBA is rare and the incidence is reported to be 1 to 5% of all gastrointestinal tract malignancies[9,10], and the most important known risk factor for this malignant tumor is previous CD[5,11]. SBA in CD was reported for the first time by Ginzburg in 1956[12]. The risk for SBA is reportedly higher in patients with CD than in the overall population. Recent meta-analysis revealed the relative risk of SBA in patients with CD as 28.4 (95% CI, 14.5-55.7)[13] to 33.2 (95% CI, 15.9-60.9)[14]. In clinical settings, SBA in CD is difficult to diagnose, and most previous cases were diagnosed after surgery without suspicion of malignancy. Therefore, novel tools are needed to detect and survey the development of this cancer. In our case, we were able to diagnose SBA non-surgically by a novel approach using PET/CT and DBE.
Based on previous reports, Dossett et al[3] summarized the 154 cases of SBA in CD reported in Europe and America. SBA in CD occurred more frequently in males than females (M:F ratio of 2.4:1). The age at diagnosis ranged from 21 to 86 years (mean age, 51.3), and the average duration of CD was 24.5 years (0-45 years)[3]. SBA in CD was observed at a younger age[1] as compared with de novo cancers that were found in 60-69-year-olds[15]. Tumors were found in the ileum at a rate of 75%. The presence of previously bypassed segments of the intestine was 20.3%. Obstruction was the most common manifestation (76%), whereas hemorrhage, fistula, and perforation were observed in 3.9%, 3.9%, and 5.4% of cases, respectively. The majority of diagnoses were made at the time of operation (35.4%) or postoperatively (61.5%). Only 3.1% of the cases could be diagnosed preoperatively. Survival rates after 1 and 2 years were 49.6% and 27%, respectively[3].
In the present case, there were some longitudinal ulcer scars near the tumor, suggesting that chronic inflammation is associated with the development of SBA. Because it is well known that a combination of immunohistochemically strong p53 expression and absent or weak β-catenin expression in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients is evidence for colitis-associated dysplastic lesions[16], we examined the immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor[17]. In this case, there was no detectable p53 expression, but strong β-catenin expression. Chemotherapy and radiation for SBA have produced disappointing results, and only a few studies have evaluated chemotherapy for unresectable SBA in CD[18]. There have been no controlled studies recommending an effective treatment regimen. Although we treated this patient by systemic chemotherapy with S-1 and CDDP in agreement with the patient, the therapy was not effective and did not seem to prolong the survival time.
There are several previous reports of long-standing risk factors for SBA, including onset of the disease before the age of 30 years, presence of a bypassed segment, chronic active course with stricture and fistulas, male gender, and smoking[1–3,5,11,19–21]. Corticosteroid and azathioprine therapy to treat CD are also considered potential risk factors. However, 5-ASAs prevent the development of intestinal adenocarcinoma in IBD[1,22–25]. There is also a theoretical risk for an increased rate of malignancies due to antagonism of TNF-α, but to date, there is no clear proof of such an effect[26,27].
Recommendations for screening and surveillance of SBA in CD have been supported by only very limited data[8]. The overall risk of colorectal cancer for UC patients is estimated to be 3.7% (95% CI, 3.2%-4.2%); 2% at 10 years, 8% at 20 years, and 18% at 30 years[28], whereas reported cancerin CD is 0.63%-3.1%[29]. Although diagnostic investigations using conventional modalities such as small bowel series, double-contrast enteroclysis, and upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies have been performed on patients with a high cancer risk, a recent report found that colonoscopy surveillance may not improve survival even in studying extensive colitis, thus other tools are needed to detect cancer development[8]. CT and MRI are now considered the common imaging modality of choice for abdominal malignancy. Endoscopy of the small intestine, especially capsule endoscopy and DBE, are promising new diagnostic tools[30]. Capsule endoscopy is not invasive, but has a risk of retention for patients with CD who have a stenosis in the intestinal tract[31,32]. DBE is a new endoscopic method that provides complete visualization, the ability to biopsy the small bowel, and provides diagnostic and therapeutic information[33].
The recent development of innovative im In this case, PET/CT was effective for the discovery of a small bowel tumor at the initial examination. Although the localization of lesions may not be completely accurate, PET/CT provides accurately fused morphological and functional imaging within a single examination. Today, PET imaging has a high sensitivity for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) and is superior to conventional CT staging when CRC patients are assessed for local and distant metastases[34,35]. PET/CT also offers a better non-invasive tool for identifying and localizing active intestinal inflammation in patients with CD[36]. Although PET/CT is not able to replace conventional studies due to its high cost, it may be useful when conventional studies cannot be performed or are not completed in CD patients. In this case, the tumor was detected at an advanced stage with multiple liver metastases. Although it is still uncertain whether combining PET/CT and DBE will enable us to make an early diagnosis for SBA, this case certainly indicates the possibility of combining PET/CT and DBE without conventional modalities, such as a small bowel series, to detect a primary malignant tumor of the small bowel without surgery. One strategy to monitor high-risk patients might be to perform PET/CT at an initial examination, and then conduct a DBE examination for the patient who has abnormal regions suspected as being malignant.
The recent development of innovative imaging techniques involving PET/CT and DBE has opened a new area in the exploration of the small bowel in CD patients. Each of these techniques is characterized by its own profile of favorable and unfavorable features[30]. Future clinical studies are expected to demonstrate strategies to monitor SBA in CD patients.

Wells Fargo Leads the Country in Affordable Housing Investments
Wells Fargo & Company may still be in the midst of earning back the public's trust, but the recent controversy does not seem to affected its ranking as the number one investor in affordable housing across the United States.
According to new research from the Cohn Reznick accounting firm, Wells Fargo is the leader in addressing the increasing demand for affordable renting options, particularly in the multifamily housing sector of the US population. They are helping to bridge that tumultuous affordability gap by putting $9 billion into Low Income Housing Tax Credits for affordable, multifamily housing in the US, over the last five years.
Mark Myers is the head of the Wells Fargo Commercial Real Estate division. He argues: "There is a significant affordable housing crisis impacting the country right now. Demand for affordable rental housing continues to be extremely high with many people paying a disproportionate percentage of their income on rent. As the largest commercial real estate lender in the country, being able to help meet the need for more affordable living options for our customers and communities is a top priority for Wells Fargo."
In all, Wells Fargo has contributed debt and equity in order to support affordable multifamily housing, financing more than 180,000 units of such affordable housing. According to The Urban Institute, it is estimated that for every 100 "extremely low-income" renter households (these are homes with income levels at or below 30 percent of the area median), only about 29 affordable units are available on the market. This, they say, equates to a deficiency of about more than eight million units.
Of course, New York City is one example of a municipality struggling to make more provisions in the low- to moderate-income affordable housing sector.
Rafael Cestero is the president and CEO of Community Preservation Corporation. This is a non-profit, affordable housing lender in New York City. He says, "In New York, we have more people who want to live here than we have housing. This creates a supply and demand issue that's driving rents higher and creating an exasperated need for affordable housing. Without Wells Fargo's commitment to working with local government and investing in organizations like CPC, New York would be a different place and there would be fewer opportunities for low- and middle-income families to have affordable living options in the city."

The rules are simple. The good get spared. The bad get spoiled.
Kubo and the Two Strings (Focus Features)
Directed by Travis Knight
Written by Marc Haimes, Chris Butler and Shannon Tindle
Starring Charlize Theron, Art Parkinson, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei & Matthew McConaughey
What a fantastic movie. Kubo and the Two Strings is the tale of a young guitar player & storyteller and his epic adventure to find the end of his own heroic story. I loved this movie so much. It is lyrical like an epic poem and melancholic like an ancient sonnet. And although sometimes its need for comedy can hamper the melody, it's not enough to ruin the music. And this movie, good god, this movie has everything. A kid with a huge chip on his shoulder, who likes to tell stories and play his guitar for passing strangers, while dreaming of one day being a god. Throw in a mentally ill mom and a tall-tale about his father, and it makes me have to ask, Who the hell's been reading my diary? But I'll say it again, this is a fantastic movie.
Verdict: SPARED
Kubo & the Two Strings is a tale about family & honor. It's a fable about love & courage. It's a story about memory & redemption. But at its core, it's a meditation about loss and about vision. It is wonderful.
Kubo is a young busker, blind in one eye but skilled at the art of story-telling. And blessed with an origami magic he inherited from his mentally disturbed mother. He collects coins he earns from playing his guitar and spinning his stories at the marketplace by day. While at night he hides in his mountain cave… from the moon.
This is just the beginning of what turns out to be an epic tale full of heroes and villains and love and adventure and sacrifice and discovery and I would surely throw the kid a few coins because this boy can tell a story. Kubo and the Two Strings is well-worth the price of admission.
The animation is a gorgeous combination of stop-motion and conventional artwork. The music is amazing. A beautiful, sparse, traditional Japanese music that creates a reverence for its morality tale. Even the end credits song, a Regina Spektor version of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, is fucking incredible in its instrumentation and that same traditional Japanese lyrical beauty. The movie is gorgeous to watch and gorgeous to hear.
Kubo is perfect. The story. The voice acting. The music. The animation. An amazing movie from top to bottom. With a lovely moral center. Not too sweet. Not too childish. A work of fine art to be displayed in the museum of animation. Is there a museum of animation? If not, somebody please build one so we can put this damn movie in it.
Kubo is definitely the best animated film I have seen from last year. But granted, I haven't seen them all yet. However, Kubo and the Two Strings (…and oh my god, the title is so powerful. So perfect. So bad-ass.) Kubo and those mother fucking Two Strings will be a hard one to beat.

What was really troubling to me was Hillary's assertion that it is sometimes medically necessary to perform a late term abortion to save the life of the mother. As a physician, I instantly understood the fallacy of her reasoning, but I wanted to take this opportunity to explain, so you would also understand the ridiculousness of what she said.

In politics, they call it quid pro quo.
More plainly: "If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."
Advertisement - story continues below
In early 2008 when Obama's political pariah Jeremiah Wright was feeling the wrath of Middle America for his "G-d damn America!" comments, he had more pressing problems: The IRS was breathing down his neck for, shall we say "irregularities" in his church's finances, Trinity United Church of Christ.
An odd fellow with an odd shaped bald head and a smile painted on his face showed up on Jeremiah Wright's doorstep one day. His name was William Wilkins. Willie to his cronies. He was a high-priced tax attorney with the law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. And he was there to save the day. In a matter of weeks with a sleight of hand reminiscent of a magician, Jeremiah Wright's tax problems went away. The fee? Pro bono, the lawyers call it. No charge.

But the quid pro quo wasn't complete. When Barack—Barry to Willie Wilkins—was swept into office in a rush of "Change You Can Believe In," Barry had a place for Willie in his administration: He was made the IRS Chief Counsel, with a cushy office in Washington, D.C.
But for anyone who knows about Chicago-style quid pro quos, they know it's like a ping pong ball. It just goes back and forth. And this time was no different.
Advertisement - story continues below
When Barry assumed his throne in January 2009 and began doling out taxpayer money like a printing press on steroids—the banks and banksters, his union buddies at GM, and his crowning achievement, the trillion dollar "Stimulus" bill—the mega movement Tea Party was just a glint in conservatives' eyes.
First the Tea Party was a few citizens holding signs decrying Obama's out-of-control spending. But before you could say "Barry Soetoro," the Tea Party movement had become a snowball crashing every liberal policy in its path, culminated in taking back the House of Representatives in the 2010 mid-term elections.
And they needed to be stopped.
Enter the ping pong ball going back to Barack Obama. Something needed to be done about these "terrorist" and "racist" Tea Partiers or they would take back not only control of the House, but the Senate, and perhaps even the presidency.
Advertisement - story continues below
Enter Slick Willie. No, not Bill Clinton, but Willie Wilkins. Willie became the architect of the "BOLO" memo: The "Be on the look out" apparatus that became a bureaucratic machine for targeting the Tea Party. For keeping them busy with ten-page questionnaires, asking questions like the name of every single person at their meetings; transcripts of speeches, even the content of their prayers! An apparatus for keeping their non-profit status open indefinitely—sometimes for years.
But Willie Wilkins was just getting started. The ping pong ball was moving fast. Willie, with a deft backhand drove the ping pong ball back to his boss, Barack Obama. After two years of putting the screw to conservative groups, the targeting needed to be taken to the next level. On April 25, 2012 Willie drafted a new, lengthy memo to his IRS underlings, putting even more onerous requirements on conservative groups.
And guess who Willie Wilkins had a face-to-face meeting with in the Roosevelt Room of the White House just two days before, on April 23?
You guessed it: Barack Hussein Obama.
Advertisement - story continues below
If you believe Barack Hussein Obama didn't despatch Willie Wilkins to help out Jeremiah Wright in 2008—
If you believe Barack Hussein Obama didn't know about the IRS's shakedown of the Tea Party and other conservative groups going back years before the scandal broke—
If you believe Barack Hussein Obama didn't order the IRS intimidation of conservative groups to affect the 2010 midterm and 2012 presidential elections—you are wildly naive.
Barack Hussein Obama not only knew about the IRS targeting of conservative groups, but no doubt ordered it.
But there will be a smoking gun. For Bill Clinton it was Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, hanging in her closet, unwashed, carrying a memento from Bill Clinton splattered for the world to see. For Nixon, it was the tape implicating him in the Watergate coverup. And for Obama there will be a ping pong ball in the corner, dirty, filthy, with corrupt Chicago politics written all over it.
But we're not talking about sex in the oval office. We're not talking about breaking into the offices of your political enemies—like Nixon's Plumbers. In Obama's case, we're talking about targeting thousands of people. Their friends and families. Spying on them by sending ten page "additional information" questionnaires that ask everything from the names of friends and family members, to who was at each at and every meeting—even the content of their prayers! This obviously had nothing to do with needing "additional information," but was nothing more than a spying apparatus.
We're talking about Americans spending their hard earned money and the hard earned money of their non-profit contributors. Typing out transcripts of speeches. Making photocopies of endless pieces of paper required by the endless IRS questions. Even in some cases having to hire tax lawyers, as was the case of the conservative group, True the Vote, not only hassled by the IRS, but the ATF and FBI as well. They received an IRS "additional information" questionnaire with a staggering 110 questions!
Barack Hussein Obama has done something that Richard Nixon could only have dreamed of. And he was just getting started. If Obama's hand hadn't put caught in the cookie jar, Obama's enemies list would have expanded to not only the Tea Party, but any group that went against the Obama leftist orthodoxy. This was revealed in the beginnings of the IRS expanding their targeting to pro-Israel groups.
America must find the smoking gun to implicate Barack Hussein Obama. And when we went find it, Barack Obama or Barry Obama or Barry Soetoro or whatever his name is, must be impeached so that this long nightmare of "fundamental transformation" will finally be over.

Lürssen's Project Jupiter has emerged from the yard's facility in Bremen, Germany, affording an enticing glimpse of this secretive build which is due for completion in the Spring of 2017. While she has variously had lengths between 120m and 126m attributed to her, reliable sources close to SuperyachtNews confirm (provisionally) that the project measures 123m overall.
The motoryacht's design work comes from two London-based design studios – the intricate and distinctive exterior lines were penned by H2 Yacht Design, and March & White will complete the interior work. SuperyachtNews will release further information on the project as and when it is confirmed by our sources.
In May this year, the yard saw the back of the largest superyacht ever built by gross tonnage, as the 15,917 gross ton M/Y Dilbar – formerly known as Project Omar – was delivered to her owner. Project Jupiter is the yard's second launch of the year after the 106m Project Mistral was launched in April and completed her sea trials in August. Project Mistral features the exterior work of the yard's close affiliate, Espen Øino, and the interior work of Zuretti Interior Designers.
