The Nikon CoolPix S810 isn't loaded with frivolous bells and whistles--it's got seriously awesome bells and whistles like a 12.1MP CMOS sensor, a sharp, wide-angle to telephoto 10x optical zoom lens (30-300mm 35mm equivalent) made with Nikon ED glass, 1080p HD video, 5 frames per second shooting, 4-way image stabilization for sharp photos even in low light, and a beautiful 921,000-dot high resolution 3 LCD display. But there's a lot more. Like Subject Tracking to automatically track and auto focus on a moving subject; one-touch video recording with optical zoom, stereo sound and an in-camera editing function; HDR (high dynamic range) function that automatically merges several images of the same scene to achieve a single image with a broad, beautiful range of tonal detail not otherwise possible; and 17 scene modes including the Scene Auto Selector, which automatically recognizes any shooting situation and optimizes all the settings for that scene. Night Portrait combines consecutive shots of the background while the subject in the foreground is taken using the flash, allowing challenging night scenes to be easily captured during handheld shooting and eliminating any subject movement. Night Landscape combines a series of five consecutive shots taken at a fast shutter speed into a single image with reduced noise for taking handheld shots in low light.

NFP's Wes Bunting tweeted the following this morning:
Hearing the Broncos are starting to lean more toward DE Da'Quan Bowers with that number 2 pick, move to 43, he makes perfect sense
In a followup tweet, Bunting wrote,
Got to think the Broncos would look Fairley at 2, if Bowers is gone, got to put together their 4-3 front
Yesterday, Champ Bailey and his agent Jack Reale won the PR side-battle that today typically accompanies any significant contract negotiation. A statement presumably from Reale expressed the player and agent's frustration with the lack of progress on the guaranteed-money front and was followed by Champ's pronouncement that he would be propping a "For Sale" sign out front of his Littleton home. The latter message prompted a small grassroots campaign to rally fans for the two sides to come to an agreement.
Today, John Elway has responded via Twitter:
We've been working with Champ Bailey's representative this week on a new contract, which is an important priority for us. Our conversations have been constructive, and we'll continue those talks in the hopes that we can reach an agreement. Champ's an elite player who means a great deal to our entire organization and our fans. We want Champ to finish his Hall of Fame career as a Denver Bronco.
Continue reading "Elway responds to Bailey/Reale's statements"
UPDATE: 6:30PM ET - Vic Lombardi has just tweeted that he spoke with Champ's agent Jack Reale, who has confirmed that the Broncos' midseason offer and the latest proposal were both for four years and around $40 million. As reported earlier, the gap between the two sides is apparently an issue of guaranteed money.
Continue reading "Champ unhappy with direction of contract talks"
Several reports have confirmed that Demaryius Thomas tore his achilles tendon while working out Thursday. The Broncos, for their part, have officially called it an "injury" to his achilles via Twitter:
Demaryius Thomas suffered an injury to his Achilles tendon on Wed. while working out in Ga. His recovery is expected to take 6-8 months.
Six to eight months? I'm no Ponderosa or Doc Bear (our local resident docs), but doesn't this sort of injury take just a wee bit longer than this to heal? Luckily, the Broncos are filled to the brim at wide receiver. It's just too bad such a promising player is going through so many injuries early in his career. Thanks to Ponderosa for being on this story so quickly!
Vic Lombardi reported via Twitter that Broncos WR Eddie Royal had surgery on his hip and will require 6 months of rehabilitation. This likely will end any speculation that the Broncos will be trading away one of their veteran receivers... (Thanks, Ponderosa!)
UPDATE 3:08PM ET: Team spokesman Patrick Smyth says the Broncos expect Royal "will be ready for OTAs in late May."
Just two weeks ago, Panthers running backs coach Jim Skipper had been rumored to be joining the Broncos' staff under new head coach John Fox. On Thursday, the Broncos announced they had completed their coaching staff, and the man who had spent nine years working under Fox (including the last five as his assistant head coach) was nowhere to be found among the Broncos' employment rolls. Today, Skipper is without a job.
Continue reading "Fox reportedly forced to keep Studesville"
The Broncos have announced that cornerback Champ Bailey will be replacing Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. This will be the 10th Pro Bowl appearance for Bailey, who just completed his 12th NFL season. The 32-year-old Bailey, who is a free agent after having spent seven seasons with the Broncos, has now surpassed Mike Haynes for the most Pro Bowl selections in history by a cornerback.
The Broncos have announced via Twitter that John Fox has completed his coaching staff today, contrary to countless earlier claims around the interweb (and on the DP) that Dennis Allen had been the final addition to Fox's crew. Two-time SB winner Keith Burns has been retained as a special teams assistant, while Sam Garnes will be the assistant defensive backs coach. Garnes, who played for the Giants and Jets in a seven-year pro career, had been a special teams assistant with Carolina in 2010. Burns has been coaching the Broncos' special teams since 2007 following a 13-year NFL career which included two stints in Denver; he was originally drafted by Denver in the 7th round of the 1994 Draft (210th overall).
Official team press release
The Broncos announced today the hiring of Ron Miley Cyrus Milus and Richard Smith as defensive coaches. Milus will coach the team's secondary, while Smith will coach the linebackers. Both had been on head coach John Fox's staff in Carolina and were Denver assistants earlier in their careers.
As reported by the Denver Post last hour, the Broncos have hired Dennis Allen, secondary coach for the New Orleans Saints as their new defensive coordinator.
Doug Lee will have more on this story in the morning, but I'm comfortable with this move. Perhaps Allen has learned a few tricks from Greg Williams, current defensive coordinator for the Saints. Williams is known for his ultra-aggressive blitzes. One has to believe Allen has been playing close attention.

A very thought provoking book. Will definately read more by this author.
Before I put in my review comments, I would like to mention that I am not a fan of futuristic stories, and especially the ones which depict a destroyed earth and humanity. But I have to say that this story was told in such a simple and natural manner that I was hooked from the start. Each character was given a proper inroduction and time in the story. Nothing was ever felt rushed. Unnecessary gory details were left out. It was a 'first person' style human emotion which was used to stir the main story forward rather than a third person account. The near collapse of human existence was described in a much stick-to-the-basics kind of a way and more importance was given to the character development. The end was shocking but at the same time believable as it is humans alone who are capable of such barbarity. Once I began reading then it definitely could not be kept down. Thanks a lot for sharing it. P.S. - This was my second book by Raymond Hopkins. The first one was "David". Both are written so well that we can actually visualize the story in front of us. But after reading the second novel, I think Raymond has a similarity of some characters in both novels which I think is because he was inspired/affected by some similar people in his own life.
Thought this book was great could not put it down makes you think of the future
This book was very thought provoking. Many people don't have the basic knowledge of survival. Wonderfully written. I couldn't put the book down.
I just found it different, believable and entertaining.
It was a pleasant read and a surprising ending.

A lot can happen over the course of a television series, and a lot can happen to a character over the course of that series. Sometimes, though, there's a complete overhaul that makes you wonder if the character we meet at the beginning of the series and the one at the end are the same person.

But where along these extended subduction areas are great earthquakes most likely to happen? Scientists have now found that regions where scars on the seafloor, called fracture zones, meet subduction areas are at higher risk of generating powerful earthquakes. The results are published today in Solid Earth, an Open Access journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
We find that 87% of the 15 largest (8.6 magnitude or higher) and half of the 50 largest (8.4 magnitude or higher) earthquakes of the past century are associated with intersection regions between oceanic fracture zones and subduction zones, says Dietmar Müller, researcher at the University of Sydney in Australia and lead author of the Solid Earth paper. The connection is less striking for smaller earthquakes.
Powerful earthquakes related to these intersection regions include the destructive 2011 Tohoku-Oki and 2004 Sumatra events.
If the association we found were due to a random data distribution, only about 25% of great subduction earthquakes should coincide with these special tectonic environments. Therefore, we can rule out that the link we found is just due to chance, he adds.
The researchers considered about 1,500 earthquakes in their study. They used a database of significant post-1900 events, as well as geophysical data mapping fracture zones and subduction zones, among others. They analysed information from these databases by using a specific data mining method.
The method was originally developed for analysing online user data, says Thomas Landgrebe, also involved in the study. The technique we apply is commonly used to find a few specific items which are expected to be most appealing to an Internet user. Instead, we use it to find which tectonic environment is most suitable for generating great earthquakes.
Since earthquake generation is a very complex process, the scientists dont yet have a complete understanding of why great earthquakes prefer the intersection areas. They suggest that it is due to the physical properties of fracture zones, which result in strong, persistent coupling in the subduction boundaries, Landgrebe explains. This means that the subduction fault area is locked and thus capable of accumulating stress over long periods of time.
The connection we have uncovered provides critical information for seismologists to, in the long run, pinpoint particular tectonic environments that are statistically more prone to strong seismic coupling and great earthquake supercycles, Müller says. An area with earthquake supercycles experiences recurring powerful earthquakes every few centuries or millennia.
Regions that have long earthquake supercycles are usually not picked up as risk areas by seismic hazard maps as these are constructed mainly using data collected after 1900. An example is the area of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, which had no record of large earthquakes over the past century and was not predicted to be of significant risk by previous hazard maps.
The power of our new method is that it does pick up many of these regions and, hence, could contribute to much-needed improvements of long-term seismic hazard maps, Müller explains.
Even though we dont fully understand the physics of long earthquake cycles, any improvements that can be made using statistical data analysis should be considered as they can help reduce earthquake damage and loss of life.
The floor of the Earth's oceans is crossed by underwater mountain systems, or ocean ridges, such as the mid-Atlantic ridge that runs from north to south between the Americas and Africa. These ridges divide two tectonic plates that move apart as lava emerges from the opening, spreading the sea floor. The mid-ocean ridge jogs back and forth at offsets known as transform faults, creating zig-zagged plate boundaries. Fracture zones are scars in the ocean floor left by these transform faults.
*Information for editors*
This research is presented in the paper The link between great earthquakes and the subduction of oceanic fracture zones to appear in the EGU Open Access journal Solid Earth on 05 December 2012.

Plants rarely get sick in their natural environment. When the threat of infection arises, a quick decision is made about the necessary countermeasures. The course is set by a protein which forms complexes with its partner proteins for this purpose.

Researchers studying speciation of butterfly orchids on the Azores have been startled to discover that the answer to a long-debated question "Do the islands support one species or two species?" is actually "three species".
Hochstetter's Butterfly-orchid, newly recognized following application of a battery of scientific techniques and reveling in a complex taxonomic history worthy of Sherlock Holmes, is arguably Europe's rarest orchid species. Under threat in its mountain-top retreat, the orchid urgently requires conservation recognition.

NEW YORK — J.C. Penney Co. has hired an executive from the mac-and-cheese world to reconnect with its middle-income shoppers.
The beleaguered department store on Monday named Kraft Foods Inc. executive Debra Berman as senior vice president of marketing to help revitalize the struggling brand, filling a void in the company that remained for 14 months.
Penney is trying to win back customers who fled during a transformation plan spearheaded by the chain's former CEO, Ron Johnson, that backfired and led to massive losses and sales declines.
The appointment, however, did little to boost investor confidence. Shares fell more than 3 percent to close at $13.82. The stock has been down 30 percent since January 2013 and has lost nearly 70 percent of its value since early 2012, when investor bullishness about Johnson's turnaround plan pushed shares up to $43.

El Embriague Financiero: Una Visión Alternativa de Amplificación Bancaria
This paper develops a model that explains the amplification of negative shocks faced by an economy through its banking system, but with a different grip as the standard financial accelerator theory. When a bank faces insolvency, it has incentives to continue sub-optimal projects in its portfolio, retarding or clutching the necessary process of creative destruction, which leads to sluggish economic performance. Considering three sectors, asymmetric information and agency problems, it is shown how the original magnitude of a generalized adverse shock can be amplified by the banking sector. The motivation of this study is provided by the current symptoms of the Japanese banking sector and the Chilean experience of the early 80´s debt crisis. These episodes show clear signals that validate the mechanisms identified by the theory, and suggest some measures to face crisis periods on a proper manner.Download Info

Satoshi Ogiso, dubbed "the grandfather of the Prius," said in a recent interview in Tokyo, "Earlier would have been better, but it's taken a long time to get to this point." The point Ogiso was talking about was the arrival of representative prototypes of Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the precursor to the production FCV that the Japanese brand will offer for sale "around 2015."
It is intriguing that the company that broke open the hybrid vehicle segment and is now the go-to brand when car shoppers want to be green is regularly lambasted for its push into hydrogen. If bullying were a concept one could apply to cars, the Prius would be Exhibit A in support of the victim. But Toyota stuck with it, losing money on every one of them for years until, in a role reversal worthy of George McFly and Biff from Back to the Future, now it's, well, the Prius. And that's Prius, sir, to you, thank you.
Toyota is not walking away from hybrids – in fact, it sees them playing a role for a long time into the future – but the company believes that unless there's a quantum leap in battery technology, hydrogen-powered vehicles will be the greater part of a diverse mix of vehicles used for medium- and long-range applications. What drives that idea is not an idealistic worldview, but a business case.What drives Toyota's hydrogen push is not an idealistic worldview, but a business case.
Said Toyota Technical Center Principle Engineer Matt McClory, "This is always a kind of mythical issue and I really don't know where it comes from. We could never have started – not only Toyota but all the major automakers – we would not have started doing fuel cells back in the '90s if we thought it would not make sense to come to market as an economical and sustainable solution."
We have now had a chance to drive Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell car twice, once earlier this year in California, and once a couple of months ago in Japan. We were repeatedly told in California, "The future is fuel cell." And in Japan, just a few months away from the car's introduction at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, we were told by John Hanson, Toyota's national manager of environmental, safety & quality communications, "The powertrain's been invented, making it a real car."

Lenovo ThinkPad X301 review
An incremental upgrade from the ThinkPad X300, and ultimately a little disappointing. For this price, we expect close to perfection, and the X301 doesn't quite deliver.
Review Date: 8 Apr 2009
Reviewed By: Tim Danton
Price when reviewed: £1,543 (£1,774 inc VAT)
Features & Design
Value for Money
The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 was a breath of fresh air when it was released early in 2008: a sub-1.5kg laptop that somehow included a sizeable screen and optical drive.
Now, just over a year later, we see the next step in its evolution. There are no fundamental changes with the X301, just nips and tucks designed to make it better suited to life on the move in 2009.
The first enhancement is the processor, with the 1.2GHz SL7100 in the X300 replaced here by the 1.4GHz SU9400. Coupled with 2GB of RAM (there's one DIMM socket free), it returned 0.78 in our benchmarks, compared to 0.67 from the X300. Truth be told, we'd hoped that Lenovo would opt for a faster processor still, but undemanding users can certainly use the X301 as their main system.
Another nice evolutionary touch is the DisplayPort that graces the X301's rear. The D-SUB still found on most laptops is starting to show its age, but many manufacturers held off switching to DVI - in part because of its limited resolution support.
DisplayPort has no such worries: you can connect screens right up to 2,560 x 1,600 with the X301, and still benefit from a digital connection (including audio). That said, Lenovo plays it safe by also including a D-SUB connector.
We're a little disappointed that Lenovo hasn't seen fit to squeeze in an eSATA port, sticking instead with three USB connectors: two on the left-hand side, the other at the rear.
Aside from this, there are only a pair of mic and headphone jacks plus the Gigabit Ethernet port; digital camera enthusiasts should note the lack of flash memory card slots.
They should also note that Lenovo hasn't improved the screen. Just as with the X300, this LED-backlit affair is neither the brightest or most colour accurate of panels, and you have to position it just so - at a 100-degree incline - to get perfect contrast.
The 1,440 x 900 resolution is about right for the 13.3in screen diagonal, but we wouldn't have complained if the resolution had been higher still - or if Lenovo had found a way to increase the screen size at the expense of the rather wide bezel.
We're also just a shade disappointed by the keyboard. It seems odd to bemoan its quality when this remains one of the best designed key layouts you can find - note the large Enter key and the well separated navigation keys (eg Home, End, PgUp, PgDn) - but it doesn't have the glorious feel of the best ThinkPad keyboards. And, dare we say it, it's just a shade rattly.
One thing we can't criticise is the build quality. As with the X300, if you pick this laptop up by the corner it feels solid as a rock with no hint of a creak. You could smite your worst enemy with it and still have confidence it would be in perfect working order afterwards.
Our review sample includes a solid-state disk too, which has obvious benefits when it comes to ruggedness: one less moving part is always welcome. Add the fingerprint reader, spill-resistant keyboard, Trusted Platform Chip and three-year warranty (albeit return-to-base) and it includes all the features most business travellers will want.
Plus, as with all new ThinkPads, there's an HSDPA wireless modem inside. You get a Vodafone SIM in the box, which includes a free 30-day trial to its mobile broadband service, so when you throw in Bluetooth, GPS and 802.11 draft-n WiFi it's undeniably well connected.
Most important of all, the X301 will keep on going. With a six-cell unit inside, this laptop stormed along for 6hrs 31mins in our light-use test, and if you choose to implement all of Lenovo's draconian battery-extending measures this can creep even higher.

Breaking down the in-state rivalries in 2013: Utah State at Utah
Editor's note: This is part one of a three-part series regarding the FBS matchups of the 2013 Beehive State college football season.
Utah had won 12 straight against USU in the series. It hadn't looked and felt like a rivalry for years. This fact was compounded with the Utes headed to the Pac-12 and the Aggies only having one more year in a depleted WAC. Nobody in Salt Lake thought a Utah-Utah State game would be a contest.
Then Gary Andersen pulled magic out of his visor.
Last year's game in Logan was sloppy, intense and laced with drama. Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn got knocked out of the game for good. Utah State never trailed. John Hayes almost rallied the Utes to victory but came up glaringly short. The little brother sprung the upset and stunned the Utes in the first overtime game in the 100-plus-year-old series.
It was quite memorable overall. The Aggies used the victory to springboard themselves to an 11-2 finish while the Utes just missed bowl eligibility.
The kickoff of the first Utah college football game of the season is only days away, so let's break down what we will see in the games between the in-state schools this season.

Since I last wrote to you, we have witnessed the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The massacre at Virginia Tech was all the more tragic because most of Seung Hui Cho's victims were young people full of promise and potential, standing at the threshold of their lives.
The Student Pledge Against Gun Violence has become more important and relevant than ever because of its message of hope and empowerment. There are several things that we can and should say to young people who may now feel more vulnerable than ever:
* While there are no guarantees about anyone's absolute safety, most of the factors that go into keeping yourselves safe are within your control.
* Your and your friends' ability to stay safe is closely related to the decisions you make. You can make conscious choices not to perpetuate and not to escalate disputes that have begun over turf battles, boyfriends or girlfriends, or someone's disrespecting you. Cycles of revenge need to be broken, and refusing to retaliate against someone is a sign of strength, not weakness.
* If you are in a situation of escalating tension, and especially if drugs, alcohol, or guns are present, your best course of action is to leave the scene.
* By committing yourselves to the course of action embodied in the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence and encouraging your school's or community's participation in it, you are becoming an active link with other young people and communities committed to ending gun violence.
In what follows, I want to tell you about some new materials we have created that we hope will be useful and some additional resources created by others that you can draw on.
Increasingly, schools and community leaders tell us that they want to keep the message of the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence alive and active throughout the year. They have also expressed the wish for even more awareness-building activities to help sustain and reinforce students' commitments. The ideas below represent some of the most creative suggestions that have come out of meetings here in Minnesota with middle- and high-school students and educators. Not all of them are new; some of them already appear on our website and in our information packets. The use of these activities throughout the year can help create an environment of on-going and open discussion about gun violence. The activities can be adapted for different ages, events, and times of year:
For Schools
* Ask students to write stories about "the rest of their lives" for figures whose lives were cut short by gun death. The students might write about Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, John Lennon, Mahatma Gandhi, or other famous figures, imagining what they might have been able to accomplish if their lives had not been abbreviated. They might do the same by imagining the life that a friend killed by gun violence could have had.
* Sponsor poster, poetry, and essay contests about gun violence, with a different focus for each grade level so that students can take part each year without repeating the activity of the year before.
* Gather statistics about young people and gun violence and post them in the school's corridors.
* Read and discuss age-appropriate books such as Sherri Chessen's "The Gorp's Gift," for elementary-aged children, and Walter Dean Myers' "Scorpions" for older students.
* Draw from the VOW Project's curriculum suggestions, available at www.pledge.org.
* Organize a concert that celebrates peace.
* Designate one person in each homeroom to look at the paper each day and clip any news stories about a young person (under age 19) who gets shot. Hand out black armbands with the names of gun victims.
* Give students the assignment of conducting group interviews with people who deal with gun violence on a daily basis: a doctor, an emergency room worker, an ambulance driver, a police officer, a reporter who covers violent crime, etc. Each group will prepare a report for the class.
* Collect signed pledges and have community leaders and students take them to the family of a young person who was shot. Tell the family about the students' pledge to see that other families will not have similar losses.
* Create a wall of remembrance and ask people to post stories about people they know of or have read about who died from guns.
* Plan an all-school assembly where speakers may include gunshot survivors, an emergency room physician or inspiring community leaders.
* Sponsor a contest for a Student Pledge cheer or slogan. Ask your school's cheerleaders to lead the winning cheer at a sporting event.
* Ask music classes to compose catchy songs that include the SPEAK-UP phone number in them. (SPEAK-UP is a national hot-line sponsored by PAX that allows students to make anonymous reports about suspected violent threats in schools.)
* In media classes, invite students to create a public service announcement for television or radio about the Student Pledge and the Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence. See if you can get a local station to run it on the air. If not, play the PSA at a school assembly.
For Communities
* Hold a youth summit on the Day of National Concern and invite local officials, law enforcement, youth representatives, and parents to pool their best ideas for reducing youth gun violence. Invite participants to form an on-going task force.
* Invite local officials to schools on the Day of National Concern to witness the signing of the Pledges.
* Plant a local peace garden in memory of young people who have died from guns.
* Encourage dialogue with young people and community leaders by inviting students to write to their mayor, sheriff, police chief, or legislators with their ideas for reducing gun violence. Have a "talk-back" session with open mikes in which community leaders respond to the students' ideas.
* Hold a candlelight vigil for victims of gun violence.
* Hold a community celebration honoring students who have signed the Pledge Against Gun Violence.
* For the Day of National Concern, ask a local radio station to host a show about young people and gun violence. Get elected officials, young people, and popular role models to participate. For example, Chicago's B-96 radio station contributes an hour of commercial-free time each year on the Day of National Concern. In the past, they have enlisted the participation of Sammy Sosa, Brian Urlacher, the Cardinal of the Catholic Archdiocese, Mayor Richard Daley, and this past year, Senators Richard Durbin and Barack Obama!
The organizations mentioned below are doing good work to reduce gun injuries and deaths among young people:
* Common Sense about Kids and Guns offers an interactive virtual house tour with practical suggestions and tips on safe storage of firearms. Their website also provides statistics, useful facts, and referrals to other resources. To learn more about it, visit www.kidsandguns.org.
* The ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Campaign is a program that encourages parents to know whether there are guns in the homes that their children will be visiting and, if so, to find out how they are stored. SPEAK UP provides an anonymous national hot line that allows young people to report guns in school or potential violent threats with no fear of discovery. Both the ASK Campaign and SPEAK UP are programs of the gun violence prevention organization, PAX. To learn more about them, go to www.paxusa.org.
* "Increase the Peace, a Program for Ending School Violence" by Steven Gevinson, David Hammond, and Phil Thompson is a Heinemann Press publication that comes with an interactive DVD that provides role-playing scenarios for situations in which students might be called on to make life-saving choices. It suggests ways in which educators can structure useful discussion with students.
Our goal for the coming months is to create two additional units dealing with gun violence prevention that can be used to precede and complement the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence.
The first, to be called "Consequences" will consist of interviews with those who have been directly affected by gun violence. We've asked for the help of the Chicago Police Department, which has worked actively with the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence, in identifying disabled former gang members as well as innocent victims of gun violence. We will video-record the reminiscences of these people as well as those of former inmates who have served time for illegal gun use. The goal of this unit or component will be to present in graphic and dramatic terms and images the human costs of gun violence.
The second, to be called "Beyond Retaliation" will consist of a series of video-recorded conversations with those who were able to transcend the need for payback or revenge by finding greater satisfaction in forgiveness and work to reduce gun violence.
These two new units or components will build logically towards the final unit: "Making Good Decisions." The final unit of this comprehensive gun-violence prevention program will culminate with the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence and The Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence.
If we can get funding, we hope to be able to make these new units available on DVD.
Finally, I want to share with you the idea suggested by a college student in Washington DC at American University. He called to ask what I thought about the idea of a national candlelight vigil on next fall's Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence. I told him that I thought it would be a beautiful way to memorialize those who died at Virginia Tech and to record our determination to prevent future gun deaths.
I welcome your ideas about how we might implement a national candlelight vigil on October 24. Would it make sense, for example, to go across time zones: e.g. 9:00 pm EST, 8:00 CST, 7:00 Mountain Time, and 6:00 pm West Coast Time, so that the country could share a powerful moment?
Would it be feasible to combine a national candlelight vigil with the singing of the beautiful three-part musical round, "Dona Nobis Pacem?" Think of the power of people all over the country lifting their voices at the exact same moment to sing our appeal: "Give us Peace" from the gun violence that takes too many of our citizens.
Please be in touch and let us know how we can support your efforts -- whether in one classroom or school, or in an entire community.
With best wishes,
Mary Lewis Grow
Founder and National Coordinator

Tony Blair urges Israel to keep hunger strikers alive
Peace envoy warns of tragic outcome if Palestinian protesters were to die in prison
Donald Macintyre
Donald Macintyre writes political sketches for The Independent, having been Jerusalem correspondent since 2004, covering Israel and the Occupied Territories, as well as travelling for the paper to Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Libya and Egypt. As Political Editor and then Chief Political Commentator, he previously covered the John Major and early Tony Blair era. He has written for the Daily Express, Sunday Times, Times and Sunday Telegraph, and Sunday Correspondent. He is the author of Mandelson and the Making of New Labour (2000).
Monday 14 May 2012
Tony Blair has stepped into the crisis triggered by a mass hunger strike of Palestinian prisoners, pressing Israel to take steps to prevent the "tragic" outcome of any of them dying.
Palestinian demonstrations in support of the strikes were stepped up at the weekend amid efforts, led by Egypt, to reach an agreement in time to avoid further endangering the lives of two prisoners who have both refused food for more than 75 days.
Israel's prison service said yesterday that 1,550 inmates were on hunger strike, while protest organisers say 2,500 are taking part to press their demands for an end to Israel's practice of "administrative detention" without trial and for improvements in prison conditions.
Mr Blair, who was named the envoy of the quartet of Middle East peace negotiators after stepping down as British prime minister, said he was "increasingly concerned about the deteriorating health conditions of the hunger strikers" and that over the past week he had "engaged Israeli official at all levels to take all necessary measures to prevent a tragic outcome that could have serious implications for stability and security conditions on the ground".
He added that he had urged the Israelis to "respect the human rights of all prisoners and to provide them with all necessary medical assistance and legal recourse to due process".
The two prisoners whose health is giving rise to most concern are Tha'er Halaleh and Bilal Diab, administrative detainees who Israel says are members of the militant Islamic Jihad faction. The prisons department said yesterday that both were currently in its medical centre at Ramle prison, but would be transferred to a civilian hospital if needed. The condition of at least four other prisoners is said to be serious.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has described the situation as "extremely dangerous" and that it would be a "disaster" if one of the hunger strikers died. Amid fears of a backlash in the West Bank, Mr Abbas has personally raised the issue with both the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's senior aide, Yitzhak Molcho, and the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Last week, he said no one would be able to "control the situation" if one of the hunger strikers died.
Administrative detention dates back to the British mandate and allows a military judge to order detention up to six months, with the sentence indefinitely renewable, on the basis of secret evidence and without charge or trial.
The hunger strikers are also seeking an end to the widespread use of solitary confinement, to a long-standing ban on relatives' visits to prisoners from Gaza, and to arbitrary strip searching and night raids on cells. The prisons department said yesterday that solitary confinement had been ended for two prisoners, including Mahmoud Issa, who has been held under those conditions for ten years. Authorities are reported to have yielded to another demand: an end to a ban on books and academic materials imposed after the 2006 seizure of the now freed Israeli Army sergeant Gilad Shalit.
At a protest by about 150 people in central Ramallah yesterday, one demonstrator, Lamees Abed Al Jaleel, 23, an IT technician, said she had fasted in solidarity with the prisoners for five days. She added: "I'm really hungry, really tired, and I have been taking water and occasionally a few olives. So what can it be like after 75 days?"

12th December 2013 Around 10am on Wednesday December 4, a Mercedes Sprinter and a yellow Honda CB600 collided at the junction of the A565 and A59 in Tarleton. Emergency services were called to the accident scene and paramedics rushed to treat the motorcyclist who suffered significant injuries as a result of the crash. The male rider of the motorcycle, who is in his late 20s and is from Southport, was taken to Southport Hospital but has since been transferred to Liverpool Hospital where he remains in a serious condition. |
12th December 2013 The plans involve creating 154 hectares of estuarine wetland habitat by breaching the embankment at four locations. There will be nine lagoons created to provide wader feeding habitat and the existing inner embankment between Hesketh Out Marsh East and Hesketh New Marsh will be improved to act as a primary line of flood defence. The new embankment would measure 7.8m in height An extension to the car park area and a new bird hide have also been proposed to be built on Green Belt land and if the plans are passed the development will begin in early 2014 and will be completed in 2016. |
11th December 2013 This proposal will swamp our valuable countryside with a massive, unsustainable housing development and will certainly lead to increased misery on Hesketh Lane, further burden our struggling infrastructure of water supply, drains and sewers and overwhelm our schools and medical services. This must clearly be an act of desperation from a, one time respected local business and their greedy clever friends. In the summer, we were asked to comment on the new Local Plan proposed by West Lancashire Borough Council. The Plan and the comments were reviewed by an Inspector, Mr Roger Clewes BA MSc DipEd DipTP MRTPI from the Planning Inspectorate. He was appointed by the Secretary of State. In paragraph 98 on page 494 his report to West Lancashire Borough Council he states:
"Policy EC3 (III) makes it clear that not all of the Alty's Brickyard RDO site at Hesketh Bank will compromise built development and that a masterplanning exercise will be required... Now the Inspector wrote these comments long after Altys and Persimmon had held their presentations, where the public where were shown fuzzy maps in pastel colours and asked to complete a tick box questionnaire of only three bland questions. Clearly, the Inspector didn't see that this constituted a Masterplanning exercise in consultation with the public. Note "... a masterplanning exercise will be required" So why are these applicants so desperate? The Proposals were cloaked as a Brownfield development, yet these plans included building on environmentally sensitive greenfield, half of which is within the Coastal Zone. An area where building is not permitted. The other half, judged by the council as unsuitable for development. This land is one of few remaining unspoiled examples of a Boulder Clay Cliff and is of major Geological value to the County. The National Planning Policy Framework, introduced in March 2012, swept away many Planning Policy Statements (PPS) and Guidance (PPG) and introduced "a presumption in favour of sustainable development". The key word here is "sustainable". The residents of Hesketh with Becconsall and Tarleton already suffer severe congestion on Hesketh Lane at peak travel times, causing many to take a 'rat run' along Kearsley Avenue. This residential road with a 20mph speed limit is forced to suffer many thousand traffic movements each week as though it were a B road. Like the tide, traffic flows out then back again along Hesketh Lane & Kearsley Avenue. The proposed Green Lane link, intended to divert HGVs & farm traffic from narrow village roads is now being touted as a possible route for some of the many thousands of additional vehicle movements that this massive development will cause. Before reaching the Green Lane link, the Hesketh Bank motorist would first need to navigate the roller coaster ride of Moss lane. With regard to the traffic situation, this Planning Application is unsustainable. The issues with poor water supply have been clearly outlined in the WLBC Local Plan and by United Utilities. United Utilities have told the applicant that the development cannot be accommodated by the existing system due to it's size. No plans are approved that would alleviate our problems with water supply and drainage before this massive development is completed. Again, this Planning Application is unsustainable. Parents with pre-school children cannot be certain they will find school places within these villages in future years. There are no plans for expansion of our local schools and these are already at capacity. This Planning Application is unsustainable. So this is sign of desperation, evidence that the applicant knows they could not win by fair means with the public consultation recommended by the Inspector. So scared of public condemnation that they seek to limit it by sharp practices. If the residents of Hesketh with Becconsall and Tarleton also Banks want to fight this unwelcome attack on their community I recommend they submit their objections by letter or by email to the planning department. You can comment on the proposal via the Councils website, by email to: email@example.com Subject: OBJECTION to planning application 2013/1258/HYB – Building of 275 dwellings on Altys Brickworks & Greenfield. You must state "I object.." for your submission to count and you must include your name and address. For security reasons, do not include your signature. For clearer guidance on submitting your objections, please go to www.HBTAG.org Have your say on the proposed development on the letters page. |
8th December 2013 The concert gets the Christmas season under way each year with a mixture of popular music, traditional Christmas pieces and a chance to sing along to well-loved Carols. The event, which has been a feature of local Christmas celebrations for well over half a century, is enjoyed by music lovers of all ages. The concert begins at 7.30pm at the All Saints Church Hall in Hesketh Bank, with refreshments provided during the interval. Admission is free and a seasonal raffle and collection will be held for Band funds. All are welcome and a great start to the Christmas period is guaranteed! |

UW business plan competition showcases the best and brightest
- John Cook
So many business plans, so little time. That's how I felt after stepping into the University of Washington's HUB Ballroom today for the Michael G. Foster School's annual Business Plan Competition. The event offered a true smorgasbord of innovative startup ideas, with three dozen entrepreneurial teams vying for the attention -- not to mention the virtual dollars -- of more than 200 judges made up of Seattle area lawyers, venture capitalists, journalists and entrepreneurs.
I too had the distinct honor of being one of the judges, helping to whittle the field down from 32 to 16 teams. It wasn't an easy task, and some of the judges I spoke to (Enrique Godreau of Voyager Capital, Gauruv Oberoi of Precision Polling and Rob Brown of Zino Society) said they were impressed with how far some of the teams had come. There certainly was entrepreneurial diversity in the room, from a developer of a mobile translation services to a maker of premium vodkas to a creator of an environmentally-friendly road surface.
I brought my handy video recorder along and took some short videos of the pitches I saw. Also, below you'll find descriptions of the 16 teams that advanced to the final round where real prize money is on the line. That event will take place May 27.
I apologize in advance if the videos are a little shaky or hard to hear, but it was truly a madhouse in there. I took that as a sign that the entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well on the UW campus. I think you will too after watching some of the pitches.
Here are the 16 finalists, with descriptions and team members provided via the UW's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship:

Adjusted results in this section are non-GAAP amounts or non-GAAP measures. Please see the Non-GAAP Measures section.
Total revenue decreased $36 million or 1% from the first quarter a year ago to $4,081 million. Adjusted revenue increased $118 million or 3% to $3,861 million. There was strong growth in BMO Capital Markets, as favourable market conditions generated strong investment banking and trading results, and in PCG due largely to higher Insurance results as well as growth in client assets. P&C Canada revenues were unchanged, reflecting the combination of increases in volumes across most products and lower net interest margin. P&C U.S. revenues decreased due to reductions in net interest margin, securities gains and deposit fees, partially offset by increases in gains on sale of newly originated mortgages and commercial lending fees. Corporate Services' adjusted revenues also decreased, due to reduced securities gains, a higher teb group offset in the current quarter and lower revenue from a variety of items, including treasury-related items, none of which were individually significant. The weaker U.S. dollar decreased adjusted revenue growth by $22 million or 1%.
Revenue decreased $95 million or 2% from the fourth quarter. Adjusted revenue decreased $59 million or 2%. There was modest growth across all the operating groups with the exception of PCG, where revenue growth in wealth businesses was more than offset by reduced Insurance revenue. There was reduced revenue in Corporate Services, due primarily to lower revenue from a variety of items, as discussed above. The stronger U.S. dollar increased adjusted revenue growth by $7 million.
Changes in net interest income and non-interest revenue are reviewed in the sections that follow.
This section contains adjusted results and measures, which are non-GAAP. Please see the Non-GAAP Measures section.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased $102 million or 4% from a year ago to $2,216 million in the first quarter of 2013. Reported net interest income includes amounts for the recognition of a portion of the credit mark on the M&I purchased performing loan portfolio. Adjusted net interest income decreased $88 million or 4% to $2,004 million. On an adjusted basis, there were reductions in PCG, P&C U.S., P&C Canada and Corporate Services, with an increase in BMO Capital Markets.
BMO's overall net interest margin decreased by 20 basis points year over year to 1.85%. Adjusted net interest margin decreased by 18 basis points to 1.67% with decreases in each of the operating groups. Changes are discussed in the Review of Operating Groups' Performance section.
Average earning assets in the first quarter of 2013 increased $26 billion or 6% relative to a year ago, including a $3 billion decrease as a result of the weaker U.S. dollar. There was growth in each operating group. The major increases were in BMO Capital Markets, due to increased trading securities as a result of investment opportunities, and P&C Canada, driven by volume growth across most products.
Relative to the fourth quarter, net interest income increased $71 million or 3%. Adjusted net interest income increased $48 million or 2%. There was a strong increase in BMO Capital Markets due to a charge on the termination of a contract in the U.S. business in the previous quarter, as well as increases in PCG, P&C Canada and P&C U.S.
