The bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures is coming out with a devastating report tomorrow that reportedly shreds the Bush administration over the No Child Left Behind Act. A special task force on the federal law will hold a press conference in Washington, D.C., and the report will be posted on the NCSL website at noon here.
The New York Times previews the study:
The report, based on hearings in six cities, praised the law's goal of ending the gap in scholastic achievement between white and minority students. But most of the 77-page report, which the Education Department rebutted yesterday, was devoted to a detailed inventory and discussion of its flaws.
It said the law's accountability system, which punishes schools whose students fail to improve steadily on standardized tests, undermined school improvement efforts already under way in many states and relied on the wrong indicators. The report said that the law's rules for educating disabled students conflict with another federal law, and that it presented bureaucratic requirements that failed to recognize the tapestry of educational challenges faced by teachers in the nation's 15,000 school districts.
"Under N.C.L.B., the federal government's role has become excessively intrusive in the day-to-day operations of public education," the National Conference of State Legislatures said in the report, which was written by a panel of 16 state legislators and 6 legislative staff members.
Several education experts said the panel had accurately captured the views of thousands of state lawmakers, and local educators. If that is so, the report suggests that the Bush administration could face continuing friction with states and school districts as the Department of Education seeks to carry out the law in coming months.
Nine state legislatures are considering various challenges to the law, and the Utah Senate is about to vote on a bill, already approved by the House, that would require state education officials to give priority to Utah's education laws rather than to the federal law. An Illinois school district filed a lawsuit against the Education Department this month in federal court, arguing that No Child Left Behind contradicts provisions of the federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.
The Washington Times has more details on GOP complaints about the act:
New York State Sen. Steve Saland, R-Poughkeepsie, a co-chairman of the task force, said that although the idea for No Child Left Behind originated in the states, it is the states that are paying for tighter government restrictions.
"We believe the federal government's role has become excessively intrusive in the day-to-day operations of public education," he said. "States that were once pioneers are now captives of a one-size-fits-all educational accountability system."
And the Houston Chronicle profiles staunch Utah Republican Margaret Dayton, a state representative leading her state's charge against the law:
Make no mistake, Utah state Rep. Margaret Dayton has thrown down a gauntlet before the U.S. Department of Education.
Her bill demanding that Utah put state education priorities and dollars ahead of the federal No Child Left Behind Act passed the House last week and is expected to clear the state Senate.
And the staunch Republican is evolving into the de facto leader for dozens of states looking for an effective way to challenge President Bush's high-profile education law.
Most interestingly, the report tomorrow comes to the conclusion that the No Child Left Behind Act is unconstitutional. From the Times:
One chapter of the report says that the Constitution does not delegate powers to educate the nation's citizens to the federal government, thereby leaving education under state control. The report contends that No Child Left Behind has greatly expanded federal powers to a degree that is unconstitutional..
"This assertion of federal authority into an area historically reserved to the states has had the effect of curtailing additional state innovations and undermining many that had occurred during the past three decades," the report said.
"The task force does not believe that N.C.L.B. is constitutional," it said.
Wonder how Armstrong Williams and the other knee-jerk Bushbots for NCLB would respond to that?
Insert cricket-chirping sound effects here.

Masonic Scottish Rite New World Order Boast
By Charles Saunders
Here is something from the November/December 2013 issue of Scottish Rite (the magazine published by the Southern Jurisdiction Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and formerly called The New Age). In its "Holiday Hints" section it promotes a Heavy Metal music album along with a selection of other books devoted to Masonic history. The album is titled, "Dream Theater, Black Clouds and Silver Linings," by John Petrucci from Roadrunner Records (2009), available on the Internet for $16.63.(ASIN:B0026JSLHW). Here are the lyrics from the song, "A Rite of Passage":
Since the New World Order
Played upon our Fears
Spreading accusations of radical ideas
...This is the New World Order
Plague upon our Peers
Spreading accusations of radical fears
The brotherhood of wisdom, Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery
Beneath an ever watchful eye
The angels of the Temple fly
Turn the key, Walk through the gates
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage, the final stage, a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay upon a stone
A rite of passage
Men of wealth and power...Influence and fate,
Philosophers and leaders
Are members of the Trade
Bound by open honor
Like the Rose and the Cross
An enigmatic union
Of Esoteric thought
The seven stars,
The rising Sun
A perfect world, its new Life has begun
A rite of passage.
(End quote)
Is the Scottish Rite bragging here, in esoteric language, that much of what is said about the New World Order is true? Here, no doubt, is a hint to the 32 and 33 degree about what their order is really about. Maybe the lyrics should instead be called Childhood's End after Arthur C. Clarke's Novel.

Media Fraud Debunked: "Jesus had a wife" hoax

Wall Street Journal, May 2, 2014, p. A-ll. Read more at wsj.com
The "Jesus had a wife" hoax was timed to coincide with Lent
By Michael Hoffman
The "Jesus had a wife" hoax was timed to coincide in 2014 with the Christian Lent, to detract from the holy season by reporting a blasphemous and sacrilegious fraud as if it were the truth.
Furthermore, "Conservatives" Bill O'Reilly and "Judge Napolitano" served similar functions in April with a book and a column minimizing (or in Napolitano's case eliminating altogether) the Judaic role in the death of Christ [see pdf. file: "Bill O'Reilly's Midrash on Christ" http://revisionisthistorystore.blogspot.com].
The Zionist-influenced US media despise the authentic Jesus Christ of the Gospels and the historic Church, and prefer to replace Him by foisting on the public the image of a false Christ, who was either married, or whose death was mainly or solely the fault of the Romans, contrary to what the Bible teaches.
Hence, almost every Lent the media mock or defame Jesus Christ by publicizing some spurious but "scientific"-sounding tall tale retailed by supposed "experts in the field."
Almost every year during Lent the media mock or defame Jesus Christ by publicizing some spurious but "scientific"-sounding tall tale retailed by supposed "experts in the field." The Harvard Divinity School version, disseminated nationally by Laurie Goodstein and the New York Times, is the latest example.

So, you want that Samsung Galaxy S4 gamepad, eh? Ready to shell out several dead presidents to make it happen? How about the tune of $113? Thought you might lose interest. Looks like US retailer MobileFun thinks that's what Samsung's gaming-on-the-go handset is worth, because it has the pre-order listed at just that.
Of course, it's pretty unlikely that will end up being the retail price. This is most likely a case of "let's go ahead and list this even though we've no clue how much it will really cost." The high price tag could be a deterrent to keep customers from ordering before they actually get the official pricing and launch date – or it could be a way of scraping the pockets of would-be customers who have too much money to spend and must have the Game Pad as soon as possible.Read More

My team is looking for a technical term which may or may not exist.
We are trying to describe an environment, such as a database, which has been built up over time with little or documentation about the change process that has gone into it. Generally these are legacy systems who's original developers have long since moved on and they are in such a tangled and unmanageable state that the only way to recreate the environment, say for testing purposes, is to copy it and do your best guess at re-configuring it for its new purpose.
So far the best term we have come up with is
Amnesic, such as "setting up the new test environment is going to be a challenge because it is an amnesic db." However, we are still not quite happy with the term and were wondering if a better and/or more accepted term for this situation exists.

The # Discover Tab
I've been really impressed by the quality and especially the diversity of news I am getting from the #Discover Tab on Twitter lately.
This exchange between Hunter Walk and me from last week is a good example of how I feel about it (sorry that I could not figure out how to embed a Twitter conversation):
I actually don't love the visual treatment of the #Discover tab, particularly on mobile, but also on web. I wish it was just like the timeline. I don't need all those "blobs" of images that pop up sort of randomly and jarringly.
But the data I am getting is super relevant to my interests and incredibly diverse (sports, entertainment, friends, tech, NYC, etc, etc).
I am curious how all of you are finding the #Discover tab these days.

How to Organize Coupons!
Lesson 2: How to Organize Coupons
If you read lesson 1, then you know where and how to obtain coupons but what do you do with them after you have them? Today I'm going to talk about how to store your coupons at home and how to keep them organized for shopping.
Home Storage:
You'll remember in lesson one we encouraged you to get and keep several copies of the weekly coupon inserts. This gives you multiple coupons on the same item so you can stock up when you find a sale or clearance.
But where do you put them all and how do you keep them easy to find you may ask? Well, I have manilla file folders that I put each week's inserts in. I label the outside of the folders with the date the coupon inserts were found in the newspaper. I do this in pencil so I can erase and use the folders over and over. I have a file cabinet that I keep my folders in but you can use a plastic container like Rubbermaid or even a cardboard box will work. The file cabinet stays in my garage but you could use a closet, laundry room or home office.
Having your coupons organized this way saves so much time because you don't have to cut out every single coupon. When you see a deal listed on the blog telling you where to find the coupon, you just flip through your folders, find the right date and cut out your coupon! Keep your inserts for at least 8 months. I know that sounds crazy but some coupons don't expire up to a year and you never know what's going to be on sale a few months down the road. I was able to get Dole canned fruit for 25¢ each because I had kept my inserts from 4 months back that had Dole coupons in them.
Another way to organize those inserts is to use hanging files instead of envelopes. Just label the outside of the file with the date the inserts came out and pop them into the file and hang in your file cabinet etc.
Use what ever system works for you as long as your coupons are organized and easy to locate.
Organizing Coupons for Shopping:
Although I keep most of my coupons at home, I always keep the coupons that I know I'm going to use with me. For example: My cat loves Friskies Party Mix treats. Any time I see these coupons I cut them out and keep them in my coupon binder. My grocery store doubles coupons up to $1.00 so I know I can get them free or cheap. Having those coupons with me all the time keeps me from missing out on unadvertised sales and I can pick up a pack every time I'm in the store.
If you're new to couponing you might want to start out with a small, simple coupon organizer that you can get pretty cheap at dollar stores. These are small plastic or cardboard accordian style coupons holders that will fit right in your purse. After you've been couponing awhile you'll want to advance to a coupon binder or large accordian-style box with handle.
Binders: There are different binders to choose from……just depends on your preference. You can use a regular 3-ring, 2 – 3 inch school binder or one of those nylon binders that zip up all the way around. Using a binder makes it easy to shop because I can turn it on it's side in the grocery basket and have all my divider tabs sticking up where I can see them making my coupons a lot easier to find.
Many couponers use plastic see through baseball card holder sheets to store their coup0ns in. There's usually 9 slots per page to put coupons in which makes it easy to see what you have because you can see 9 coupons at a glance. If you don't like to use baseball card holders try using a zippered see though pencil holders to separate your coupons. You can just put all your dairy coupons into one zippered pouch, beverage coupons into one zippered pouch etc. etc.
To make finding your coupons easier you need divider tabs labeled with all your different coupon categories. You can find plastic and paper 3 hole punched divider tab sheets in the school section of the store. I usually buy all my stuff at Walmart because it's cheaper there and they have a wider selection.
The very BEST time to buy items for your coupon binder is the start of the school year. Binders, dividers, tabs, zippered pouches and more are on sale at this time and you can save big on couponing supplies.
Here's some suggestions for dividing your coupons into categories:
- Baby ( diapers, wipes, formula, baby shampoo etc.)
- Baking ( cake mixes, baking powder, baking soda, frosting etc.)
- Beverages (soda, water, coffee, tea, kool-aid, juice etc.)
- Bread and Crackers (frozen, fresh, mixes, refrigerated, saltines etc.)
- Canned (Chef Boyardee, soup etc.)
- Candy ( any candy, gum etc.)
- Cereal ( hot cereals, cereal, cereal bars etc.)
- Cookies & Snack Crackers
- Condiments ( mustard, mayo, BBQ sauce, salt, pickles, peanut butter, salad dressing etc.)
- Cleaners
- Dairy ( butter, sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, milk etc.)
- Frozen (ice cream, frozen dinners, frozen pizza etc.)
- HBA (health & beauty)
- Make-up (cosmetics and facial care items)
- Meat ( frozen , canned and fresh)
- Medicine (pain relievers, band aids etc.)
- Misc. ( light bulbs, batteries, air fresheners etc.)
- Paper ( toilet tissue, paper towels, foil, napkins, paper plates, plastic bags etc.)
- Pasta ( pasta and pasta sauce, rice)
- Pets ( food, treats, toys, flea and tick medications)
- Produce (fresh, frozen & canned)
- Snacks ( chips, popcorn, fruit snacks, pudding cups etc.)
All though I prefer a binder, there have been times when I've had to use a large 26 pocket accordian-style coupon holder. I had a really nice notebook binder that I kept in my car but when our neighborhood flooded, my car flooded, and my binder was no more! I spent days drying out my coupons, but that's another story. I needed something quick and easy and when I saw this storage box at Walmart I grabbed it. The advantages of the accordian-style storage is that it already has divided compartments with plastic tabs attached. I just filled out my catagories on the perforated white paper that was included, slipped them into the plastic tabs and threw in my coupons! It couldn't have been easier.
You can also purchase a mini binder at Staples. They even have the small coupon inserts made especially for mini binders. If your Staples is out of the inserts or doesn't carry them you can order online and have them shipped free to your local store. 🙂
The only problem with the binders at Staples is there are no divider tabs that work with the coupon pages. The ones available for the mini binders aren't long enough to stick out past the coupon pages so it makes it hard to locate your categories. Before I obtained my Coupon Possible binder I made my own divider tabs by cutting down a large one, making a template. I then made enough to fill my binder and used reinforcement tabs around the holes I punched in my homemade dividers before putting them in my binder.
No matter which organizer you choose you need to include the following:
- A copy of your store's coupon policy: Ask at the customer service desk if they have a written policy. Some stores have them on their website. There are always cashiers that think they know their store's coupon policy but don't. Having the store policy with you will help solve any problems that come up. If that doesn't work ask for the manager. Click here for links to store coupon policies.
- Calculator: You'll need this to calculate the price of an item after use of the coupon. For example if an item is 3/$5.00 and you have a $1.00/1 coupon, use your calculator to divide $5.00 by 3 to get price per item so you'll know how much you're going to spend. Use the calculator to keep track of what your spending during your shopping trip. I use my calculator a lot at CVS figuring out how much my out of pocket expense is going to be after coupons so I know how best use the EB's I have.
- Small Notebook and Pen: These are something I use a lot! I write down prices of items on clearance so I can check the coupon data base for coupons to use on them. If I see an unadvertised great deal but don't have the coupons with me I write it down so I won't forget. If I see a new product I'd like to try, I write it down so I can remember to watch for coupons.
So you know where to get coupons, what to do with them after you get them, now it's time to learn how to use them at the store. Read Lesson 3: How Shop With Coupons.

For months this spring, Evan Meadows, a fifth-grade Wyndmoor resident, was mesmerized by the images of the Gulf of Mexico. A compassionate kid who loves nature, Evan was devastated that so many animals were damaged by the oil spill.
"These are God's creatures, I wanted to help them somehow," Evan said.
In August, Evan saw a commercial featuring images of oil-soaked animals and the song, "We're gonna wash away." Dawn (dishwashing liquid) was advertising its commitment to donate $1 for every bottle of dish detergent purchased to the International Bird Rescue Research Center and the Marine Mammal Center in Florida. These funds will help the wildlife of the region affected by the oil spill.
After seeing the commercial, Evan asked his mother, Kathie Meadows, if they could go to the store to buy a bottle of Dawn. Instead, they headed to the computer and did some research together. What they found were photos and stories of the work done at Marine Mammal Center, the largest wildlife sanctuary in the country. They read an article about staff accepting bottles of Dawn to wash the birds, pelicans, penguins, and countless other species affected by the spill.
Soon Evan realized it was going to take more than buying just one bottle of Dawn. His mind started in motion up generating ideas.
"Mom," he asked, "Do you think that UPS guy who is so nice would deliver Dawn bottles to the sanctuary if I could get kids at St. Gene's to bring them in?" Thus, his project was born.
Together with his mother, he visited the UPS store at Market Square Shopping Center and Evan asked to speak to the manager, Alex Rodriguez.
"I have used UPS many times and have gotten to know Alex for his quick wit and dry sense of humor," Kathie said. "Evan made his request and Alex got out his calculator."
Rodriguez asked Evan if he realized that if every child brought in a bottle, Evan was asking him to ship over 500 lbs. of Dawn. Evan looked a little defeated and just said, "Wow, I didn't know it would be that much."
Alex looked at him in the eye for a minute without saying a word then slammed his hands down on the counter and said, "I'll do it!"
For Rodriguez, it was an easy decision, "Evan is a doing such a good thing," he said. "This goes beyond money – it was the right thing to do. If a young person wants to help others then he deserves all the help he can get!"
Knowing his had the support of Rodriguez, Evan came home and drafted a letter to the principal at St. Genevieve School, Sr. Theresa. She responded right way as though it would be the perfect service project for grades K-4 (the rest of the school had already committed to another service project with Covenant House).
Evan was the "guest speaker" at the first Student Council meeting where he presented his idea to the group for approval.
A Cub Scout who loves to play baseball, flag football and the trumpet, Evan holds a green belt in karate and already understands that his ideas are only as good as his ability to execute.
"All the students at St. Gene's helped out by bringing in a bottle of Dawn," Evan said, explaining that each homeroom hosted a collection box.
The campaign was a success. In a two-week collection, 158 bottles were donated.
"My best estimation is that these bottles will clean 895 pelicans," Evan said.
His parents, Adam and Kathie, couldn't be more proud.
"After seeing that commercial a lot of children may have said, 'Wow, that's really sad, I hope they get help,'" Kathie said. "It's one thing to feel badly about a situation, it's another to actually spearhead a campaign at school to actually make a difference treating the affected wildlife."
Evan is thrilled with his success and reflected.
"Yes, I think it was a great project," he said. "It will make animals happier because they will be safe and clean in their own habitat."

Baseball analyst Steve Phillips and the 22-year-old production assistant who brought him down are both former ESPN employees as of Monday.
ESPN fired the baseball analyst and ex-Mets GM on Sunday, nearly a week after Phillips, 46, admitted the affair, which came a decade after Phillips was front and center in a similar scandal while working for the Mets.
"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN," a network spokesman said in a statement. "His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."
U.S. & World
Mike Soltys, spokesman for sports network, told The Associated Press Monday that production assistant Brooke Hundley had been fired, but did not say when ot why. Hundley could not be reached for comment.
A Phillips rep told The Associated Press the disgraced analyst would be entering a treatment facility "to address his personal issues."
Back in 1998, Phillips was sued for sexual harassment by a Mets employee; he admitted to having sex with her and the case was settled.
His latest troubles began after New York tabloids revealed salacious details about an affair with 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley, which Phillips acknowledged.
Hundley allegedly began harassing Phillips' now ex-wife, Marni, last August after Phillips had broken off the affair, according to a police report filed in Wilton, Conn.
Hundley reportedly called Marni Phillips on the phone and later sent her a letter that described the relationship by referring to her husband's birthmarks, according to the police report.
The drama escalated when Marni Phillips arrived home one day to find Hundley in her driveway.
"I knew instinctively that this was the woman Steve was involved with and I was terrified," she wrote to police.
Hundley also allegedly contacted Phillips' son through Facebook, according to the police report.
"This woman has clearly displayed erratic behavior and delusional tendencies," Steve Phillips told police, the AP reported.

We remember, when John Kruk left "The Best Damn Sports Show" to join "Baseball Tonight," we worried that it would dumb down the show. At the time, it was pretty much Tim Kurkjian, Peter Gammons, Jayson Stark ... a bunch of smart baseball people discussing the great game. Kruk was a different kind of baseball person, we'd say.
We're not sure Kruk is that bad, though, and we are regular "Baseball Tonight" watchers. But man, those hair explosions. The Sports Hernia has had quite a bit of fun with this.
Of course, for Philly fans — or anyone who, like us, loved that 1993 team — Kruk will always hold a special place in the heart. And he's not crazy like Daulton either.
So: Do you like the John Kruk? Do you not like the John Kruk? Voters unite!


text: This Tuesday is turning out to be big day of our tuna campaign.This morning John West joined the global movement to phase out destructive tuna fishing methods and this evening a one hour documentary on our campaign to halt the decline in Pacific tuna stocks will premiere on prime time TV. And while this is all happening the countries which control tuna fishing in the Pacific are meeting in Manila to discuss measures to rescue the world's largest tuna fisheries. Let's start with the John West news. It is the largest brand of canned tuna in Australia and following a six week campaign over there it has just pledged it will stop using destructive tuna fishing methods that needlessly kill sharks, rays, baby tuna and turtles. This is good news for tuna, good news for other marine life and good news for Aussies and Kiwis as John West canned tuna is sold on both sides of the Tasman.It's not good news for Sealord which once again is being left behind as yet another company demonstrates what 'sustainably caught tuna' really means. John West is now the third of the five major tuna brands sold in New Zealand to respond to our campaign to end destructive tuna fishing using fish aggregating devices (FADs) with purse seine nets. Foodstuffs has changed most of its Pams range of canned tuna to FAD-free and added a range of tuna caught by pole and line – a lower impact type of fishing. Greenseas, owned by Heinz in Australia, and also sold in New Zealand, has committed to phase out purse seine FAD-caught tuna by 2015. Our global campaign started around 10 years ago and has involved us patrolling the Pacific to monitor what's happening and at times to intervene. The Esperanza has just finished such a tour revealing illegal, unregulated and unsustainable fishing activity including 33 fish aggregating devices with 12 of them deployed illegally in Palau's waters.If you find it hard to imagine how we do this sort of work, today's your lucky day. Last year when we were in the Pacific we were accompanied by a New Zealand documentary team and what they saw and filmed will be screened on TV1 tonight (Dec 4) at 7.30pm . It follows our Auckland-based Oceans Campaigner Karli Thomas as she and the Esperanza crew patrol the Pacific high seas, battling plunder and piracy to save Pacific tuna stocks from destruction.

Look, I get that Jaime Herrera pledged to "be a friend to organized labor" when she lied her way into her appointment to the 18th District House seat a couple of years ago. But co-sponsoring SEIU bills to provide collective bargaining to child care workers and then twice voting FOR such a moronic bill?
Well, how "Republican" is that?
I guess it boils down to who you want caring for your children and grandchildren? Folks who have some substance or folks in extreme poverty? Having been a day care licensing caseworker and a parole officer, I have an opinion on this. Herrera is consistent in wanting the unborn and born protected. You folks are also consistent...I appreciate former Republican Pat Campbell stopping by to share his vision and union cheer-leading, a view that dovetails so closely with Herrera's.
-Pat Campbell
(Anonymous) 1/30/10
So, let's get this straight: both democrat Campbell and faux Republican Herrera like the idea of jacking up the cost of child care/day care so much that it will make it impossible, for any practical purpose, for low-income wage earners to be able to afford the much higher rates for day care this kind of idiocy will ultimately cause?
It is frightening that either of these two were ever elected to anything, of course, given their obvious inability to determine the long term impacts of their efforts. And, of course, Campbell's vision includes such outright stupidity as ramming an unneeded and unwanted bridge with loot rail down our throats (An act that will ALSO hurt hundreds if not thousands of daily commuters who will have to PAY for this bridge and loot rail that we do not want... and do not need.) as well as getting rid of the sales tax exemption for Oregon shoppers; and who moronically enough has requested that "God forgive" those smart enough to oppose that tribal blight on our community, the massive Cowlitz megacasino.
At the end of the day, if child care workers don't like the money.... well, they can certainly find some other line of work. Slamming those least able to afford his moronic view of the world along with that of our empty suited faux Republican who co-sponsored and voted for the SEIU-inspired bill?
Why would any Republican ever vote for Herrera, again?
Because with friends like fringe-leftist democrat Campbell, there's no percentage in voting for a fake Republican when the real deal happens to still be available.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 52 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
I am an entrepreneur and I have started several businesses. I have a new business idea that I am developing and need to obtain a very strong logo to support the business.
This new business is to provide a source of revenue to viewers of advertising.
Very creative and experience with past creative logos.
Design a logo - Character (image) of a Free Money Bee.
My idea is of a Money Sign ($) with Bee Wings. Then possibly have the word 'free' written on the body or wings (small but noticeable).
Try 3 dimensional or other unique ideas
Possibly give the bee antenna or some other cool features.
The wings can be creative- they don't have to be like actual Bee's wings.
I only want the character (just the image).
I also would like the words- Free Money Bee in unique writing similar to the character but the important thing is the logo design- character
The colors can vary what ever makes it stand out (like a green or yellow) and black. Or color combination.
Look at the attached image for reference -- I don't want it the same but along those lines for my logo/character

Thanks to JAXA—the Japanese Space Agency—the astronauts aboard the International Space Station have some new pets to keep them company. A small school of Medaka fish that will be used to study the impacts of radiation, muscle atrophy, and bone degradation in space.
The AQH Aquatic Habitat (because fish tank sounds too low-tech) features a specially-designed filtration system that will keep the fish alive for up to 90 days (sorry guys!), allowing them to re-produce multiple times during their stay, which will be a first in zero gravity. The habitat also automatically feeds the fish, simulates night and day lighting, and has a special chamber for holding air that keeps the water sufficiently oxygenated.
And the reason the research is being conducted on Medaka fish, instead of run-of-the-mill goldfish? As you can see in that shot from the live video feed, the fish are actually see-through, which makes studying and monitoring their inner workings considerably easier. We're just curious if they can still be flushed down those space toilets after they die. [NASA via Neatorama]

Regal Castle
Generally, only members of royal families can afford castles. Well, how about an affordable "castle" in a very regal section of Milford?
The colonial house at 34 Highwood Road in the Laurel Beach section of the city is called The Castle. It sits on its quarter acre property on the diagonal atop a slight incline surrounded by attractive landscaping of shrubbery, perennial and annual gardens and established trees.
Although the ocean waters of Long Island Sound are not immediately visible from the house, except maybe from the third-floor walk-up attic -- and even then only in winter when there are no leaves on the trees, this house is truly only steps from the beach. There are other social and recreational activities nearby, as well. Laurel Beach is an active community with its own neighborhood association, which was chartered in 1899. There are tennis courts and a club house, which is the site of numerous activities.
Membership in the Laurel Beach Association comes with privileges that extend beyond the social and recreational to the practical. Membership includes lawn care and leaf removal.
This house was built in 1928 and it has a sister house that was built in Westchester County, N.Y. It is an unusual house in that it is perfectly symmetrical. The house is exactly the same on one side as it is on the other. It is also unusual in that the house not only sits on an angle on the property, the house itself is designed with a unique angle. It has two wings that curve out at a right angle, but the front center portion of the house faces straight on.
It has an exterior of stucco in a pale yellow-ivory color, giving it the appearance of an Italian palazzo, or palace. Taking it a step farther, the center front porch, which is enclosed, is referred to by its current owners as the "piazza." The family often dines out there even in the winter, when temperatures allow.
The house sits back from the street and has a paved driveway to the two-car under-house garage with one large door. It has an open lawn bisected by a cement path to the dramatic stairs to the front entrance. On either side of the stairs are beautifully landscaped perennial shrubs and flowers with a bit of color provided by impatiens. At the top of the stairs is a large landing.
The enclosed porch, or "piazza," is a good size and has two French doors, each with 15 panes of glass. It has angular walls and lots of tall windows that are replaced with screens in summertime. Each window has a transom above, but not the ordinary, straight-lined, rectangular windows. Rather, these transoms are graceful curves that come to a point in the top center. These are the first of 50 doors and 50 windows that the house contains.
Seven of those doors are encountered right on this porch, which has a floor of ceramic tile. In addition to the two doors entering the porch, there is one French door straight ahead that leads to the entrance foyer, and then there are two sets of two French doors at either end of the porch. Two doors lead into the formal living room and two lead into the formal dining room.
Inside, the house has 2,800-square-feet of living space. Many of the rooms, as well as the foyer and hallways, have picture crown molding. This type of molding does not go to the ceiling, but instead has a slight gap that allows for the hanging of wires to which framed paintings and other artwork can be affixed. That way there is no need to scar the walls with nails. These walls may not be strong enough to support art work, anyway. They are made of plaster, as was typical in the time period that the house was constructed.
There are pine wood floors throughout the house; and in some rooms, like the living and dining rooms, there are borders of cherry wood that follow the outlines of the rooms. In the foyer, there are more doors, and one French door straight ahead that goes into a back hallway. It accesses the kitchen and has a staircase to the second floor.
To the left of the foyer is the living room, which has the original wall sconces, and a fireplace with a surround of mottled chocolate brown-colored ceramic tile. In the center is a panel of eight tiles with a scene including a village, path and birch trees. On the exact opposite end of the house is the dining room, which also has the original wall sconces. Its navy blue walls give it a sophisticated elegance.
A large, solid wood door separates the dining room from a breakfast nook or eat-in kitchen, which has cabinets, some of them with glass-front doors, and a counter area. The kitchen itself has a floor of six-by-six-inch ceramic tile, an L-shaped counter, and oak cabinets. Appliances include a GE wall-mounted oven, Magic Chef range, Hotpoint refrigerator and Maytag dishwasher.
In the back hall there is access to a butler's pantry, a combination large full bath and laundry room and a door to the side of the house, which leads down to the front of the house or into the backyard and its stone patio. Another hallway provides access to the basement and a half bath. This bath has a black and white ceramic tile floor in a basket weave pattern.
On the second floor there are four bedrooms and a sun room called The Nest. Take two steps down into this sunken room, which has two walls of windows with yellow art glass arched transoms, and an unusually vaulted ceiling.
The master bedroom is large and has two closets and two alcoves that create sitting areas. At the exact opposite end of the house on this second floor is an almost identical room. There are two bedrooms in between. One has angled walls and one has traditional, straight-edged walls.
In the hallway there is a full bath with six-by-six-inch coral and white ceramic tiles on the floor, a white wood vanity, white fixtures and a combination tub and shower.
By today's standards, the closets throughout the house are on the smaller side, as they would have been in the early 20th century, but there are plenty of them, making for easy storage. Plus the basement and attic provide ample room for storage.
There is no central air conditioning in this house. However, it has a whole-house fan and with its proximity to the beach there are nice breezes off the water that cool the house in summer.
For more information, or to set up a private appointment to see the house, call Carolyn Augur of ReMax Real Estate at 203-623-6239 or e-mail her at email@example.com.

Today during the BlackBerry World™ 2012 general session, Robin Bienfait (RIM Chief Information Officer) and Alan Panezic (RIM VP of Enterprise Product Management and Marketing) shared an exciting vision for the future of Research In Motion (RIM) enterprise solutions. Celebrating the successes of the past year, Robin spoke of the launch of BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion, Direct Enterprise Connection, and BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services – enterprise solutions promised at last year's BlackBerry World conference, and delivered as committed.
As Thorsten Heins stated during the last quarterly earnings call, RIM remains committed to our enterprise customers. We're designing a tightly focused and dedicated plan to continue to deliver solutions that are scalable, secure, and tailored to specific business needs. In an exciting announcement earlier today, Robin stated that by next year's BlackBerry World, BlackBerry Mobile Fusion will be offered on-site as it is now, as a hosted and managed solution through partners, or completely in the cloud. Couple this with the evolving concept of a mobile office powered by BlackBerry 10, and the future is certainly bright for enterprise mobility.
Check out the videos below to hear it straight from Robin and Alan, and share what you're most excited about in the comments below!

It's a plot twist that could rival a good comic book. After purchasing Marvel Comics for $4 billion, Disney may lose ownership in some of the franchise's best characters.
The children of the late artist Jack Kirby have filed notices of copyright termination for 45 Marvel characters, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Kirby co-created a number of Marvel's best-known super-heroes, including the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor and the Hulk.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The copyright termination notices, according to The Times, went to Marvel Entertainment; Disney; Sony Pictures, which owns movie rights to Spider- Man; 20th Century Fox, owner of movie rights to the Fantastic Four and X-Men; Paramount Pictures, which has a film distribution deal for four upcoming Marvel-produced films; and Universal Pictures, which has distribution rights to Hulk movies.
The filings came a week after Disney unveiled its $4 billion agreement to purchase Marvel on Aug. 31, but they were in the works before the deal was announced, according to The Times.
The children of Kirby, who died in 1994, are being represented by the same law firm that represented Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel in a similar claim against Warner Bros., The Times reported.
If Marvel, Disney or any of the other companies challenge the Kirby claims, it may be a complex legal process to determine what role he played as creator or co-creator of various characters who first appeared nearly 50 years ago, according to the newspaper.
Under copyright law, creators and co-creators can seek to regain copyrights they previously assigned to a company 56 years after first publication and can give notice of their intentions to do so up to 10 years before that.

This is for the basic character creation at level 1.
I know the PHB goes into some detail on character creation and the steps for doing so.
What I want to know is how you as GMs or players create your characters.
What guidelines and order do you follow when setting up?
Do you create them with others or on your own?
I do have a subscription to the Character Creation through D&DI but want to be able to create these characters on my own hand written also.

If Facebook's May 18 initial public offering succeeds in achieving a $90 billion valuation for the social network, each of Facebook's 900 million users can take pride in contributing $100 toward the company's fortunes. If you're a user, Facebook's founder and 28 per cent owner Mark Zuckerberg should consider you his friend. How many of your Facebook friends have enriched you by as much as $28?
Facebook users would also be well advised to think of Zuckerberg as a Facebook friend. No matter how closely users may choose to guard their profiles and postings, they have no choice but to allow Facebook to access and store every piece of information they put on the site. Facebook has the access privileges enjoyed by their best friends, and then some.
Zuckerberg undoubtedly has better things to do with his time than spy on Facebook's users. But users should be aware that they're sharing information with a friend whose prime directive is to use that information to generate as much wealth for Facebook's shareholders as he can.
I just learned that Roman Smolensky passed away in 1995, at age 35. His paper on "Algebraic methods in the theory of lower bounds for Boolean circuit complexity" is a classic; it was one of the ten most important papers I read in preparing my own D.Phil. thesis.
I got to meet Roman at the Durham symposium on Boolean function complexity in 1990, which turned out to be a watershed event for the field. I was as amazed by the elegance and power of Roman's work in person as on paper. (In the photo, Roman and I are both in the back row; Roman is standing directly under the "1961" date marker, and I'm three people to the right of him in the green shirt.)
Allan Borodin (with Leonid Charny) wrote a tribute to Roman in the journal Computational Complexity in 1997. He recalls Roman as "the most gentle, friendly and unimposing person" who "radiated a sense of internal peace and warm, positive and creative energy," words that perfectly match my now twenty-year-old recollections. Having left the theoretical computer science community for public policy and law in 1994, however, I could not help but find the following passage personally chastening:
"Finally in November 1994, Marek Karpinski was able to obtain a long-term position for Roman with his group in Bonn. This was a time when jobs in theoretical computer science were getting more difficult to obtain and many individuals were trying to redirect their work (or at least dress up their work) so as to be more 'practical.' This thought never entered Roman's considerations....
"Curiosity was the main motivation for Roman's research, so neither fashion nor practical considerations of job hunting were able to shift his interests from theoretical computer science to more 'practical' things."
Playing on Encore this month is Louis Malle's 1985 film Alamo Bay, about which Roger Ebert wrote:
What am I asking for in "Alamo Bay"? I don't think I require one side to be clearly heroic and the other side clearly evil. The situation doesn't permit that. I do wish, though, that the filmmakers had steered wide of clichés like the Ku Klux Klan and the final shoot-out, and stayed closer to the real strength of their film, which is its authentic portrait of everyday lives.
Sorry, Mr. Ebert, but if you had done your research, you would have known that the KKK's violent harassment of Vietnamese American shrimpers along the Gulf Coast wasn't just a movie cliche.
This is enough to warrant coming out of hibernation. Months after suspending its litigation campaign against individual file-sharers, a jury Friday awarded the RIAA $1.92 million against a 32-year-old Minnesota woman, Jammie Thomas-Rasset, for sharing 24 songs on Kazaa. Toward the end of the Associated Press story on the verdict, Tom Sydnor, director of the Progress and Freedom Foundation's Center for the Study of Digital Property, was heard to say:
Legally acquiring a license to give copies of a song to potentially millions of Kazaa users might well have cost $80,000 per song.
If you still believe that the Internet's worldwide reach implies that every Jane Q. Public has effective access to millions of users, I have some dotcom business plans from 1998 to sell you.
Today is Google's 10th birthday. In celebration, the site has made the 2001 version of its search engine available. And so we can present here, in full, Sarah Palin's Google presence in 2001, five years into her tenure as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (click to enlarge):
We've known for months now that John McCain doesn't know how to use a computer, so it should come as no surprise that he talks about innovation policy as if it's an entirely new concept. We want a more efficient hybrid car battery, so let's pull a number out of the air -- $1 per U.S. citizen sounds good -- and award it as a prize to the person who invents one:
"I further propose we inspire the ingenuity and resolve of the American people,†Mr. McCain said, "by offering a $300 million prize for the development of a battery package that has the size, capacity, cost and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars.â€
He said the winner should deliver power at 30 percent of current costs. "That's one dollar, one dollar, for every man, woman and child in the U.S. — a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency,†he said.
And shame on Sen. Barbara Boxer for calling this a "gimmick." It's not like the federal government provides any form of ex post incentive for technological innovation already, does it?
The National Review loves the idea, of course. Conservatives just love it when government gets into the business of picking winners and losers in the competition for innovation. (Then again, maybe not.)
Supreme Court denials of cert shouldn't be such big news, but the media has been all over yesterday's dismissal of CBC Marketing v. Major League Baseball, on appeal from the Eighth Circuit. My comments on the district court decision are here.
We're starting to see some of the first glimpses of the GOP strategy against Obama for the November election, and it isn't pretty. As Talking Points Memo summarizes (Youtube video -- relevant section starts at about 2:30 in), the real attack is going to focus on four falsehoods:
-- Obama is a Black nationalist
-- Obama is a crypto-Muslim
-- Obama has ties to terrorists
-- Obama is anti-American
Socially conscious Asian Americans should find this litany very familiar. For "Black nationalist," read "clannish and cliquish." For "crypto-Muslim" read "dog-eating, foot-binding male chauvinists." For "ties to terrorists" read "spies for communist China." For "anti-American" read "perpetual foreigners who can never be real Americans."
Obama may have succeeded in downplaying racial issues thus far in the campaign, but this summer and fall, he will be up against nothing less than the full arsenal of racial animus and oppression that constrains the Asian American experience. Our experience should warn us about just how durable and insidious these attacks can be. Let's hope he overcomes, and in doing so, shows us all the way forward.
Addendum (10/1): Jeff Yang has similar thoughts.

Gideon's Sword
Introducing Gideon Crew: trickster, prodigy, master thief....At 12, Gideon Crew witnessed his father, a world-class mathematician, accused of treason and gunned down.
At 24, summoned to his dying mother's bedside, Gideon learned the truth: His father was framed and deliberately slaughtered. With her last breath, she begged her son to avenge him.
Now, with a new purpose in his life, Gideon crafts a one-time mission of vengeance, aimed at the perpetrator of his father's destruction. His plan is meticulous, spectacular, and successful.
But from the shadows, someone is watching. A very powerful someone, who is impressed by Gideon's special skills. Someone who has need of just such a renegade.
For Gideon, this operation may be only the beginning....

Awesome as always!
I've read or listened to just about all of the Preston & Child books and I love them, this one does not disappoint. A great adventure and awesome twists. Well narrated, get it!

Enjoyable but not Pendergast
I'm a big fan of the other Preston/Child hero - and so was excited to give this series a go. While the writing style and sense of adventure (and even some characters) are familiar - the hero didn't quite inspire me as much as I would have hoped. Having said that - there is good potential so I'll definitely be giving other Gideon titles a go. The audiobook edition was excellent so all in all good value.

The start of a series?
Another good story by these two collaborators. An unusual start that took a few pages to understand what was happening. Started on the flight to Greece and finished on the beach.
It took me two days to hear it all and it was a really good listen. Well orated.

A Travesty
I cannot say whether I detest the story or the narrator more. They are both so awful that I quit the book. (Lest you think I'm superficial, I listened for three hours hoping it would get better. It didn't.)
Some other reviewer complained that you are asked to believe the unbelievable in every chapter. I say it's worse. You are asked to listen to really stupid stuff. In one scene a prostitute who meets him for an afternoon cries when he won't continue the relationship. They didn't even have a conversation! It's just deus ex machina for the heck of it. It would never happen and makes no sense even in the context of the book.
And every chapter, every episode has stuff like that. It is AWFUL.
That these two hacks are rich, successful authors makes me despair for the mind and imagination of America.
But, IT GETS WORSE!!
The narrator 'acts', a crime in my opinion, but he 'acts' as if he's Saturday Night Live's 'Master Thespian'. Every voice is a child's impression, silly, trite, distracting. Lots of dopey accents and fake emotion. Worst of all, his idea of the protagonist (lame and poorly drawn as he is) is AWFUL. He sounds like the fifties actor who played Jimmy Olsen in the Superman show. The voice would only start to make sense if Gideon's favorite expletive was "Gosh, Miss Lane!"
Please, do not contribute your money to this contemptible mess. It is an insult to your intelligence and degrades literature. It is a lazy, cynical, money-grubbing bit of exploitation. Don't be taken in.

You've got to be kidding me. (Spoiler Alert)
The book had it's moments, but it seemed in the end to be just a plot looking for an ending. And it was tolerable until the end. I can sit by with a lot of silly stuff as long as it adds something to the story, but in this case it just got too stupid for words. The main character and the protagonist on a deserted Island in New York City dueling it out with clanging back hoes was just too much for me to handle.
The main character had a dozen opportunities to kill the bad guy but decided instead to have a duel at midnight with guns and backhoes in an empty cemetery with night vision goggles. I've read more believable stuff from junior high school boys. But there were moments when it was an acceptable novel. I liked that Eli Glynn was part of the story, but clearly not enough to save it from the scrap heap. I gave it two stars because I did finish it. There have been a few audible books that I have abandoned. This wasn't one of them, but maybe it should have been.
I will probably listen to the sequel only because I have read or listened to every Preston Child book they have written. Normally their stuff is great. Maybe they had their teenage kids write this one.

Pendergast fans beware
i bought extra credits in order to be able to buy this the minute it came out, which i did with enormous excitement. it bears absolutely no resemblance to the quirky, arcane books i've come to love from the authors, being a perfectly fine but rather formulaic --- to be honest, extremely formulaic --- ex thief goes on a spy job kind of thing. i understand that authors want to blaze new territory but i feel as if not only my favorite characters, pendergast et al, but my favorite authors, are gone...if you are looking for anything resembling the pendergast books or even the earlier preston/child books, this isn't it. john glover is a wonderful narrator, by the way. try THE SHERLOCKIAN, which is just grand

How much disbelief are we expected to suspend?
Though not my usual favored genre of books, I have, nevertheless, read everything Preston and Child have written collectively and separately. I have liked some better than others, but I will not be reading any more from this series. At least twice per chapter the reader is asked to accept ridiculously clichéd and/or unlikely scenarios necessary to advance the storyline. I don't think I have ever rolled my eyes as much as I did while listening to this this clunker. Sadly, there is little sense of suspense simply because, after only a few chapters, the reader can already guess well in advance which hokey trick is about to be employed.
Perhaps the only thing worse than the writing in this story is the narration. For a brief moment, I honestly thought it was an electronically-generated narration. (Slightly smoother than Kindle's "text to speech" - but not by much.) Add to this the inclusion of annoying - and equally banal - musical "interludes" between key chapters, and the whole thing makes for a hot mess. The entire presentation plays to the lowest common denominator. (Thank goodness for the "Oriental Music" after a key chapter with an elderly Chinese woman and how would we *ever* have known how scary a neighborhood was without stereotypical hip-hop music?)
Count me out for future installments in this series and the same for anything narrated by John Glover.

Definitely NOT Pendergast!
I love this writing duo, but I was very disapointed with this book. It reads like a bad "B" movie. Gideon is just plain corney.

Gideon simply doesn't rise to his potential
the character Gideon was full of promise. Brilliant revenge can make for a sharp, page turning, uplifting story. But i think the authors fell short of their abilities. Certainly it's fun but the reader often has to suspend their intelligence. Gideon engages in highly risky and uncertain actions, when vastly simpler methods exist to achieve the same objective. UsuallyLee and Child's craft scenarios that have realistic contraints forcing the protaganist into difficult and critical situations. But in Gideon's Sword, the pretext for the contraints are weak at best. Usually just a request by Gideon's employer. But Gideon's uniqueness and strength is that abides by no rule but follows a higher moral code. I feel like the book was rushed to market and needed another major re-write so that most of the action sequences could be justified through a more thoughtful plot foundation.
A weak and helpless child watches as his father is killed and family name ruined; at his mother tells him on her death bed that his father was a patriot, honest, courageous and his alleged treason plus shooting was really a murder all created to provide a certain U.S. general with a scapegoat for a bad decision.
Gideon spends the next 10 years mastering his independence of people and entanglements earning his doctorate in applied physics while also secretly engaging in 2nd tier art museum theft for the his own appreciation needs and to fund his education and revenge expense, After graduating he gets a job as a junior scientist at Los Alamos helping make the next generation of nuclear bombs; he pursues trout fishing and planning to avenge his father's scapegoating and murders. Early in the book, he gets an information break with his 24/7 homemade, survelilance and hacking software- pursues and executes his revenge plan which with only one hiccup that is resolved in his favor due to the integrity of maybe his newest friend is completed successfully and he's back fishing.
Gideon's revenge is not the focus of the book, but really the calling card that gets him recruited into an alleged, private think tank and operations group run by its founder and enigmatic, mysterious man. The group allegedly provides contract services for U.S. federal agencies. the plot would be of interest to a multitude of federal agencies, but supposely it's all been contracted to this private company. There's no foundation for why this group is undertaking the assignment which become's the novel's primary plot. Gideon is clearly manipulated, by carrot, stick and everything between to pursue, versus turning down, his chosen assignment but he verfiy's his employer's legitamacy with nothing but a phone call- which is completely out-of-character for Gideon who is something of a "chestmaster" of field operations, That makes no sense. The nation's, perhaps world's balance of power is now in jeopardy, but rather than use official channels to recover some evidence in the evidence locker, Gideon must use his cunning to secret himself in and recover the information. There are lots of these small things that make the story less enjoyable. He's not to tell his mission to anyone. But he knows a certain person is at risk. Despite is brilliant and proven street smarts that let's him handle himself in the worst slums, and burned out buildings of Harlem, and his rocket scientist I.Q...is doesn't dawn on him to invent an altternative story that could equally communicate the danger. Moreover, the level of deception and intrigue in the novel makes his phone call verification a trivial effort at best. The author's had time to build a character team around Gideon, but I think dropped the ball. He leave's his first book with one technogeek friend, whose character is only a 1/4 as interesting as others that I can't discuss for giving too much away.
Overall the obsurdity of Gideon's stupidity deflates his character. Even so, Preston and Child's collaboration still makes for a fun, page turner that I am glad I read (listened to).

Not bad.
Ive read most of the Pendergast series and picked this up on a whim. I really cant see why everyone is making such a giant fuss about it, I thought it was decent and completely in line with what P & C have offered up before. I suspended my rational senses several times throughout the Pendergast series (especially the first one), and I didnt really see that this one asked much more of me. Its not perfect by any means, and Gideon isnt exactly the most personable of characters, but I enjoyed it. I guess if youre expecting more Pendergast than youre in for a disappointment, because clearly hes not in it.

I have read every Preston and Child book available and have never been disappointed. I was eagerly awaiting this book because of all the hype by the authors ahead of time. It is simply not good. Gideon has no appeal as a character and the plot of the story was bland to put it mildly. Save your points

I was looking so forward to this book, I guess it was bound to be a disappointment.
The characters to me were so very shallow, nothing compared to the authors previous exciting books with the very unique qualities of Pendergast. I was hoping for a new compelling lead character, which may have been a bit better if the narration was with a different narrator. All in all very predictable I couldn't even get through the entire book it became so boring.

Was waiting for this to come out, bought it immediately.........I couldn't make it through the whole book. I wasn't expecting Pendergast, was hoping for a new and quirky character....my mind wandered everytime I turned this audio on, finally gave up.

Southport Insolvency Practitioners
Insolvency is the inability to pay one's debts as they fall due. Bankruptcy and individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs) are insolvency processes used by individuals; liquidation, administration, administrative receivership and company voluntary arrangements (CVAs) are insolvency processes used for businesses.
When a company is unable to pay off its debts, it is referred to as insolvent or trading as insolvent and specialist Insolvency Practitioners are required. The UK Insolvency Act 1986 defines insolvency both in terms of cash flow and balance sheet. A company can be cash-flow and/or balance sheet insolvent. The key parts of the Act for defining being unable to pay a company's debts:
Section 123 (1) (e) if it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due.
Section 123 (2) A company is also deemed unable to pay its debts if it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the value of the company's assets is less than the amount of its liabilities, taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities.
Once a business is insolvent there are various core options available to management and creditors – those who are owed money by the business. Creditors include bank lenders, suppliers, other trade creditors and the Inland Revenue. Directors risk civil and criminal offences if they knowingly allow a company to trade whilst insolvent.
One broad approach to deal with an insolvent business involves putting an insolvent company into liquidation, a process referred to as "winding up". To be legally effective liquidations involve the appointment of licensed Insolvency Practitioners.
Both directors and shareholders can instigate the liquidation process without court involvement by passing a shareholder resolution and the appointment of a licensed Insolvency Practitioner as a liquidator. In order to take effect, creditors must convene a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) - and have the opportunity of appointing a liquidator of their choice. A creditor also has the option to petition the court directly for a winding-up order which, if granted, will place the company into what is called compulsory liquidation or winding up by the court. A liquidator then realises the assets of the company and distributes funds realised to creditors according to their priorities, after the deduction of costs. There are strict rules governing priority of creditors.
Introduced under the Insolvency Act 1986, Administration is an insolvency procedure aimed at allowing an insolvent business to continue to trade within certain prescribed parameters, to allow time for the underlying business in part or in whole to be saved. An administration can be initiated by both the company's management and the secured lenders. Often a pre-packed sale of the assets is arranged to be triggered once an Administration is granted. This is known as a Pre-Pack. The person who runs the business is an Administrator, who in the UK must be a licensed Insolvency Practitioner. The Administrator will manage the company's affairs, but he has a duty to protect the interests of the creditors. The period of administration will likely involve an operational and financial restructuring to try and save the business.
Introduced under the Insolvency Act 1986, Administration is an insolvency procedure aimed at allowing an insolvent business to continue to trade within certain prescribed parameters, to allow time for the underlying business in part or in whole to be saved. While an Administrator is being appointed, the company can obtain a moratorium – a freeze on any actions – by creditors by having an Insolvency Practitioner file for Administration Order at Court. The period between filing for Administration and an Administrator being appointed allows a company time to consider some strategic options, including both financial and operational restructuring. This often includes attempts to sell parts of the business, free of any onerous liabilities in a pre-pack sale triggered by the company going into Administration. The business will be run by an Administrator - a licensed Insolvency Practitioner brought into to run the business in place of previous management – to rescue the business. Should nothing be salvaged via restructuring or sales, the company is put into liquidation to distribute the remaining funds to creditors.
Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)
Introduced, like the Administration, under the Insolvency Act 1986, the CVA process is aimed at saving or turning around a business either in whole or in part and involves the agreement of creditors to take a reduction in the actual debt owed to them. A CVA must be overseen by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner known, in this process, as a Supervisor. The directors however, remain in control of the company during a CVA.
In a Company Voluntary Arrangement, creditors agree a plan to write off a proportion of a business' debt – often known in financial markets as "taking a haircut". The CVA usually involves creditors' receiving reduced monthly payments over a fixed term while the company continues to trade. During this period the creditors agree that they will not individually take action to recover their debts to the business, affording the business effective protection from creditors. If however the CVA fails, the company is usually put into liquidation by the Licensed Insolvency Practitioner.
The Administrative process is frequently referred to as a self-help recovery process for secured lenders. The receivership process is controlled by a lender to a business, not its directors and has reduced in popularity since the revised Company Administration process was introduced, via the Enterprise Act, to help rescue or turnaround businesses. The Administrative Receiver had a duty only to secured and preferred creditors and unsecured creditors rarely saw a return. Secured creditors can only rely on the Administrative Receivership process if their debentures pre-date September 2003 – the onset of the Enterprise Act, coinciding with the change in status of the Inland Revenue from preferential to unsecured creditors. Lenders may also rely on The Law of Property Act to take control of a premises and force the sale of a property via any charge they have over business property. The LPA Receiver has no power over any other asset owned by the company and cannot therefore trade the business on.

Arguing that that a reporter's direct testimony about his source, in this case former CIA agent Jeffrey Alexander Sterling who has been charged under the Espionage Act of sharing classified information with NYT reporter James Risen, is important in obtaining a conviction despite a strong circumstantial case, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Welch told the judge "I hate to use this example, but I think we all know the difference, given what happened in Florida three days ago."
Seeking to quash the subpoena for Risen's testimony, his lawyer, Joel Kurtzberg told Judge Brinkema, "A reporter should be a last resort, not a first resort." "They have an interest in law enforcement," he said. "We have an interest in freedom of the press and ensuring that information flows to reporters."
The defendant in the case, Jeffrey Sterling, is seated second from left in the above drawing.
Politico's Josh Gerstein has the story (from which I lifted the quotes-thanks Josh!) here.

In Memoriam
Visions of the Aztec: A demolition gallery
Marking the one-year anniversary of the death of the iconic Route 66 motel
The first of three pieces documenting the life and death of the famed, doomed Aztec Motel.
By most accounts, the Aztec was the oldest surviving motel in New Mexico—it was six years older than the El Vado, which the city designated as a landmark site and spared from development a few years back.
The hodgepodge of paintings, bottles, tile, pottery and tchotchkes that positively bloomed off the stucco was painstakingly installed by Phyllis Evans in the '90s. She was a professor at Michigan State University who sometimes lived at the motel and treated it like a retirement project.
I'd like to point out that the Aztec is renowned (everywhere but here, it turns out) as a folk art heritage site. It's featured in art books and tons of websites, and it a was a priority stop on Larry Harris' Orange Show Eyeopener Tour, a roving event that hits important regional folk-art environment landmarks.
Many thanks to Shorty for sharing.
