How Theory Meets Practice: An Analysis of the Capital Structure of Spanish SMEs
The article analyzes the factors determining the capital structure of the Spanish small and medium enterprises [SMEs]. The analysis is grounded on the agency theory, the signalling approach and the pecking order theory. In particular, the article provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis about the impact of company brand, the ownership and control structure, and the relationship between the SMEs and their own financial policy. This analysis is based on defining the expected relationships that one might consider between the referred variables and the total debt ratio. In this regard, the analysis will be conducted by means of considering a survey of 410 Spanish SMEs where an ANOVA test will be applied. Then, a hierarchical regression model will allow comparison of the hypotheses made.Download Info

On Friday, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) vetoed a bill that would've imposed the strictest laws on gun ownership in the country. "I don't believe that this bill's blanket ban on semi-automatic rifles would reduce criminal activity or enhance public safety enough to warrant this infringement on gun owners' rights," Brown wrote in the message accompanying his veto.

Avril Lavigne wants to make Christmas album
Avril Lavigne wants to make a Christmas album.
The 'Sippin' On Sunshine' singer would love to make a festive record where she tackles her favorite Christmas songs.
She told DigitalSpy.co.uk: "I'm definitely going to keep working. There's lots of stuff I'd like to try, like a Christmas album. I would have to do covers though. I love really traditional Christmas songs."
Avril is releasing her self-titled new album on November 4 - which she worked on with her new husband, Chad Kroeger of Nickelback - and claims it is her best yet.
She said: "I mean it! Even if this one isn't called 'Best Damn Thing'. I think it's because we spent such a long time writing it. It's really diverse.
"The first two songs you've heard [singles 'Rock N Roll' and 'Here's To Never Growing Up'] - well, the rest of the album is nothing like that. There's rock, piano songs, stripped down stuff... there's an electronic song called 'Hello Kitty'."
While her new album may be the best she's recorded, Avril's favorite song of her career so far is still ballad 'I'm With You' from her 2002 debut album 'Let Go'.
She added: "It's still a challenging song vocally and the crowd always get into it."

Thanks to OMY.sg, I had the chance to watch the movie, Robin Hood before it's official release.
This movie talks about the period of time before Robin Hood became an outlaw. It's like a prelude to his adventures as an outlaw who robbed the rich and aid the poor along with his merry men.
Robin Longstride was his name and he's the son of a visionary. He was an arch-man under the service of King Richard the Lion Heart in his Crusade in France. Robin fled with a couple of mates when the king died in battle. He happens to found the knights protecting the king's crown after an ambush and they took over their identity as knights and sent the crown back to England. He also received a sword from a dying knight with a last wish to send the sword back to his father.
There's words engraved on the sword which ticks off Robin's memory of the past and he made a decision to fulfill the wish of the dead knight after returning the crown. King John, the brother of Richard took over the throne.
Off to Nottingham with his mates where Robin met Marian, the widow of the dead knight and was attracted to her. He return the sword to Sir Walter, father of the dead knight and was told to stay and take over the place of his dead son by Sir Walter. In return, he will tell Robin about his roots.
Before I go off typing out the whole story, I shall stop here.
From where I stopped, the movie continues in telling the story of how Robin helped the poor villagers of Nottingham by becoming the men in 'hoods' and how he remembered his father. Followed by how he went to war against the France who was invading England with the help of a spy, whom was King John's childhood friend.
The scenes of the war near the end was remarkable! I adore the cinematography! It was really awesome. Although they were scenes of war, blood and violent, I really must say it was very very well done. The cinematography was really a joy to watch.
To me, this movie is really well done. However, it's also a movie that not all will appreciate. Some might find the front part a tad draggy. But to those interested in the medieval times and legends of such like me, you will really enjoy this movie.
To me, every minute of the whole 2 hours 20 over minutes was good. Not a minute was boring!
I rate this movie a 4.5 over 5! (There's always room for improvement! XD)
Robin Hood will be officially release in the theaters on the 13th of May.

We Are THAT Family: The day my son read a cuss word
When we teach our kids these truths, we need to take a principle like "don't have sex before you get married" and offer a precept (a scripture that tells us this) with it. When we couple these together, it reveals a characteristic of God that says he loves me and wants me to experience purity in my mind and body and relationships and so he protects me with the absolute truth. ("Teaching from Right From Wrong" by Josh McDowell)
We Let those absolute truths be our guide
It's so easy for our children to question what truth is in our constantly changing world, especially when there are being fed lies by our culture, especially in media. Lies that say they have to be sexy or thin or tolerant. We live counter to cultural lives by not jumping on every new norm that presents itself in society.
It's okay to say what we believe, to stand up for biblical principles no matter what we read or hear in our society. When we teach absolute truths from the Bible, we let those truths guide us.
Present opportunities to fall in love with Jesus
As a teen, some of my decisions to remain pure, not cuss-party-drink-or-date-boys-that-do, were driven by fear and not always by relationship. While I want my kids to have a healthy fear of mamma and daddy and God, I mostly want them to make choices because of their relationship with God, out of a desire to honor and follow him. It goes beyond attending church once a week and doing moral stuff. Our kids need to see us pursuing a relationship with God; they need us to lead them in devotions, teach them how to pray, home school them in the ways of God.
If our kids don't have a moral compass, they will feel lost in the world, constantly changing how they see truth. Our kids are going to make mistakes, just like us. It's how we learn how to get it right. And when we offer grace, we show them more of Jesus.
It's not an easy road to navigate, but if we ask him to guide us, he will.

73-50 Little Neck Pkwy.,
Queens, NY 11004
Dirty, stinky, and quite proud of it, the seven acres of the Queens County Farm Museum pay homage to Floral Park's rich, 300-year agricultural history. The farm itself was established in the 1690s while its red-shingled Dutch colonial farmhouse dates back to 1772. Its original 18th century kitchen still stands, with cast iron pots, a butter churner and other replica furnishings built by the live-in caretaker, who can often be found tinkering in his wood shop or tending the fields of corn, lettuce, or grape vines out back. (A wood burning stove and other gadgetry added in 1865 offer a glimpse at rural life from yet another era.) Outside, amid planting fields, a fruit orchard, and animal pens, you'll notice a slew of hand-washing stations alongside the education building and a series of barns. You'll need them. A corral of hungry goats and a pasture full of sheep just beyond the barns eagerly await the family-heavy weekend crowds carrying cups of feed purchased from the gift shop. Pigs, rabbits, ducks, ponies, a henhouse full of Rhode Island Reds, and the farm's mascot, Franny, a Brown Swiss cow, also call this museum home. During the week, the farm's adjacent petting zoo is overrun with school groups. Purchased by the state in 1927, the farm catered to an entirely different audience until the 1960s: residents of the nearby Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, who worked the land as part of their therapy.
Farm FreshFresh eggs, honey, and seasonal produce are available in the glass-framed greenhouse complex which doubles as the gift shop. A one-acre vineyard on the farm currently grows Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which the museum hopes to bottle in the near future.
Guided tours of the farmhouse on weekends are free; Guided tours of the petting zoo cost $9. School groups or other large parties are welcome, but reservations are required and certain fees may apply.
Grazing livestock and a Dutch farmhouse set the scene for a country-style celebration on a 47-acre estate, and the grounds offer myriad options. Weddings can be held in the reception room of the museum's two-story 1930s-era barn ($1,600 for four hours, up to 120 guests). For big parties (up to 1,000), the apple orchard is available for rent, which runs $2,000 (six hours for the event, plus two days to set up and clean). There's also a smaller pavilion space, which seats 85 and is often used for ceremonies. It can be rented on its own ($800 for four hours) or in addition to the others ($500).

Despite advances in clinical therapy, metastasis remains the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA, including those affecting complex I and oxidative phosphorylation, are found in breast tumors and could facilitate metastasis. This study identifies mitochondrial complex I as critical for defining an aggressive phenotype in breast cancer cells. Specific enhancement of mitochondrial complex I activity inhibited tumor growth and metastasis through regulation of the tumor cell NAD+/NADH redox balance, mTORC1 activity, and autophagy. Conversely, nonlethal reduction of NAD+ levels by interfering with nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase expression rendered tumor cells more aggressive and increased metastasis. The results translate into a new therapeutic strategy: enhancement of the NAD+/NADH balance through treatment with NAD+ precursors inhibited metastasis in xenograft models, increased animal survival, and strongly interfered with oncogene-driven breast cancer progression in the MMTV-PyMT mouse model. Thus, aberration in mitochondrial complex I NADH dehydrogenase activity can profoundly enhance the aggressiveness of human breast cancer cells, while therapeutic normalization of the NAD+/NADH balance can inhibit metastasis and prevent disease progression.
Metastasis inhibition by enhanced complex I activity depends on autophagy.
(A) ATG5 knockdown (shATG5) inhibited autophagy in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 control and Ndi1-expressing cells, as shown by p62 and LC3BI accumulation. Signal quantification of ATG5, p62 signal, and LC3BI/II ratios, measured by infrared imaging (total of detectable bands) and expressed relative to control, is shown below. β-Tubulin served as protein loading control. Lanes were run on the same gel but were noncontiguous (white lines). (B) ATG5 knockdown blocked the antimetastatic effect of Ndi1 in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Lung colonization was measured by ex vivo lung imaging 7 weeks after i.v. injection of 2.5 × 105 tumor cells (n = 8 per group). Boxes denote interquartile range; lines within boxes denote median; whiskers denote minima and maxima. *P < 0.05, nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. (C) ATG5 knockdown enhanced multiorgan metastasis and reversed metastasis inhibition by Ndi1 in MDA-MB-435 cells. Shown is noninvasive bioluminescence imaging of 5 representative mice per group at 7 weeks after tail vein injection of 2.5 × 105 MDA-MB-435 control or Ndi1-expressing cells, with or without ATG5 knockdown.

Huge crush, on Aaron Johnson
Sun Jin Park for Flaunt Magazine US 2013
(via mark-gogo)
On a busy Thursday night I worked with an annoying co-worker. I can never understand what she trying to say. Usually she's tolerable but since I was sleep deprived today she really got in my nerves. I don't hate her as a person, I just don't like how she works. She basically took over my tables and messed up my routine, taking order, serving, etc… She would butt in and take over and leave it after a while. She's trying too hard that it's creating a mess. She's leaving her own table for my table. I don't know if she's trying to help me out but instead it fucked up the system. I normally disregard her actions after my shift, but since I'm sleep deprived she got very annoying. I don't think I can work with her the same way anymore…

New CUDA Technical Blog: Constant Cache vs. Read-only Cache
September 9th, 2013A unified sparse matrix data format for modern processors with wide SIMD units
September 4th, 2013Abstract:
Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (spMVM) is the most time-consuming kernel in many numerical algorithms and has been studied extensively on all modern processor and accelerator architectures. However, the optimal sparse matrix data storage format is highly hardware-specific, which could become an obstacle when using heterogeneous systems. Also, it is as yet unclear how the wide single instruction multiple data (SIMD) units in current multi- and many-core processors should be used most efficiently if there is no structure in the sparsity pattern of the matrix. We suggest SELL-C-sigma, a variant of Sliced ELLPACK, as a SIMD-friendly data format which combines long-standing ideas from General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) and vector computer programming. We discuss the advantages of SELL-C-sigma compared to established formats like Compressed Row Storage (CRS) and ELLPACK, and show its suitability on a variety of hardware platforms (Intel Sandy Bridge, Intel Xeon Phi and Nvidia Tesla K20) for a wide range of test matrices from different application areas. Using appropriate performance models we develop deep insight into the data transfer properties of the SELL-C-sigma spMVM kernel. SELL-C-sigma comes with two tuning parameters whose performance impact across the range of test matrices is studied and for which reasonable choices are proposed. This leads to a hardware-independent ("catch-all") sparse matrix format, which achieves very high efficiency for all test matrices across all hardware platforms.

rCUDA now available for the ARM architecture
July 26th, 2013The rCUDA team is glad to announce that its remote GPU virtualization technology now supports the ARM processor architecture. The new release of rCUDA for this low-power processor has been developed for the Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 ARM linux distributions. With this new rCUDA release, it is also possible to leverage hybrid platforms where the application uses ARM CPUs while requesting acceleration services provided by remote GPUs installed in x86 nodes. The opposite is also possible: an application running in an x86 computer can access remote GPUs attached to ARM systems. Please visit rCUDA website for more information or for requesting a free copy of the rCUDA middleware.
Back Testing of HFT Strategies with Xcelerit and GPUs
July 26th, 2013Algorithmic trading has become ever more popular in recent years – accounting for approximately half of all European and American stock trades placed in 2012. The trading strategies need to be back-tested regularly using historical market data for calibration and to check the expected return and risk. This is a computationally demanding process that can take hours to complete. However, back-testing the strategies frequently intra-day can significantly increase the profits for the trading institution.

Key/value versions of thrust::merge and the set operation algorithms have been added, as well stencil versions of partitioning algorithms. For 32b types, new CUDA merge and set operations provide 2-15x faster performance while a new CUDA comparison sort provides 1.3-4x faster performance.
Thrust is open-source software distributed under the OSI-approved Apache License 2.0.
LibBi: Bayesian State-Space Modelling and Inference on GPU
June 24th, 2013Abstract:
LibBi is a software package for state-space modelling and Bayesian inference on modern computer hardware, including multi-core central processing units (CPUs), many-core graphics processing units (GPUs) and distributed-memory clusters of such devices. The software parses a domain-specific language for model specification, then optimises, generates, compiles and runs code for the given model, inference method and hardware platform. In presenting the software, this work serves as an introduction to state-space models and the specialised methods developed for Bayesian inference with them. The focus is on sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods such as the particle filter for state estimation, and the particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) and SMC^2 methods for parameter estimation. All are well-suited to current computer hardware. Two examples are given and developed throughout, one a linear three-element windkessel model of the human arterial system, the other a nonlinear Lorenz '96 model. These are specified in the prescribed modelling language, and LibBi demonstrated by performing inference with them. Empirical results are presented, including a performance comparison of the software with different hardware configurations.

Still need proof that America has an obesity problem? Just turn to college football's bowl games for a little taste of the country's changing appetite.
Once upon a time, bowl games were named after fruits. There have been bowls named after cherries and pineapples and raisins and Florida citrus. Two different bowls throughout history took the name "tangerine." There was even a short-lived game in the 1940s and '50s called the Salad Bowl (there was no mention of dressing).
But the bowl slate is now peppered with games named after chain restaurants and snack food. In fact, there are six bowls this year named after fare that could have you making a New Year's resolution to head to the gym.
As the American waistline has expanded, the names of the bowl games have come to reflect it. The Hall of Fame Bowl is now named for Outback Steakhouse, BLMN +0.66% Bloomin' Brands Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $24.50 +0.16 +0.66% Dec. 9, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 548,730 AFTER HOURS $24.50 0.00 0.00% Dec. 9, 2013 5:58 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 4,623 P/E Ratio 17.88 Market Cap $3.03 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $43,839.4 11/05/13 Morning MoneyBeat: Stocks Soar...

More quote details and news » which specializes in fried chicken wings. The Peach Bowl went with the wonderfully confusing moniker of Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl for a little while, before dropping the "peach" altogether.
All that's left from the glory days of fruit-based bowls is the Orange Bowl—a much-needed dessert after all that pizza and fried chicken.

The first thing you notice about Katie Davis is her fantastic smile. It is gigantic and genuine. It is so broad that her eyes twinkle. Clearly, this is a woman who loves to laugh, and by extension, make others laugh. With her book, "Who Hops?", Katie Davis has achieved this goal.
I don't know if it's because of the brilliant (as in colorful and clever) illustrations, or because of the wonderful silliness of this book, but every time I read this book to my one-year-old son, he lets loose with a great, big belly laugh. Because his laugh is one of my favorite sounds, this book has become one of my favorite books.
Posted June 7, 2004
My 2 1/2 year old grandson immediately fell in love with this book. The pictures are eye-catching, and the verse is lovingly repetitive but with a twist! He anticipates the silly endings of each subject: who hops, who slithers, who swims, etc. and wants to read it over and over again. He willingly goes to sleep with a smile on his face. I recommend this book for anyone who has grandchildren and, of course, to parents for their preschooler. A rare gem!!!

I could have brought this info to you in some sort of breathless fashion just a day or two ago - but, something wasn't `right' - so I waited. Glad I did, as apparently the `Pink Google UFO' turns out to be supposedly a lens reflection. Details on the Facebook page that busted the idea is Here with the `2nd' UFO picture which makes the first `silly' to consider. Hmm. Oh, here's more proof that these lens flares are everywhere on Google this one from a MUFON example.
It was a `fun' story (after all, UFO's can't be real, Phil Larson told us that last year) - and the media treated it as such - as you can see below:
KLTV.com-Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville, Texas | ETX News
Another one bites the dust....... Ludicrous Foes.
So, I've updated my blog The Heavy Stuff with another good one called Anomalous `Perceptions' Of Humans In Rural Settings - need I say that it's a good read?
Speaking of good reads Aura's Paranormal Experiences is a fine way to enjoy your Sunday free time. More anomalous perceptions?
And speaking of updating - I updated my group blogging effort at The C Influence - highlighting the various efforts already on the Amazon platform for the contributors of the esoteric blog:
Did you know that the Global Consciousness Project is now found on a new server and that supposedly Princeton U. told them to find a new host? teilhard.global-mind.org.
Finally, don't miss the ever growing bookshelf of UDCC's second page - now with over 90 Anomalous Books - Christmas Is Coming!
You could share this on Facebook you know via the share buttons below - or you can Tweet it. Much Appreciated.
Lastly, nearly 100 of you downloaded the FREE book off my Author Page yesterday. Thanks.................... Pink UFO's?
Comments And Analysis Concerning Coverage Of UFO Activity By The Media & Reports Of UFO's By Citizens
You Are ON The HOME Page - What Lurks Within?
A PASS To The Altered Awareness States? Is This The Ultimate Consciousness Product? - Well?
The REM-Dreamer mask uses infrared sensors to detect when you are in REM (dreaming) sleep. At that point the REM-Dreamer device gives you sound and light cues (beeps and flashing lights) to remind you that you are dreaming. Thus, external world stimuli are transferred to the world of your dreams, and it becomes easy to achieve lucidity. The REM-Dreamer kit comes with a very comfortable sleeping mask with a small printed circuit board tucked inside that detects REM sleep, giving cues in the form of flashes or beeps. The kit also includes an LCD display device, which allows the user to adjust all settings very easily. The user can use any of several simple presets, or can customize the number of sounds and light flashes, their volume and brilliance, frequency per second, and duration. In addition, the REM sensor can be set to accurately track your personal REM eyeball movement - how cool is that? The device also comes with the 36-page user's manual. The REM-Dreamer has given many people the opportunity to experience lucid dreaming, and the opportunity to use this natural state of consciousness to program their subconscious, influence their behavior, explore the world of the mind, and work with habits of body and mind, depending on their own needs and desires.
There are 8 Reviews on this somewhat amazing product. It's perhaps pricy, but, can it really be considered to be expensive - to take a REAL mind vacation OFTEN?
Indeed, one reviewer used these words - "If you are a very deep sleeper it may be difficult to notice the cues but with practice it works well. You can expect a lucid Dream about every 4 out of 10 times !... It is a good unit for those who enjoy experimenting with metaphysical concepts.".

First Guitar Hero 4 song revealed
It's amazing where you find video game news these days. Case in point, Eurogamer has picked up on a press release from British rock band The Answer, touting the inclusion of their single "Never Too Late" (video above) in the next Guitar Hero game (which, incidentally and unsurprisingly, is coming out by the end of 2008).
The band was one of 20 picked by Activision at a Guitar Hero listening session put on by Activision at France's MIDEM conference, where over 200 artists vied for a coveted spot in the new game. Answer fan debbywebby has also posted a list of 30 other tracks that are "unconfirmed as of yet" for the game. There's no indication where she got her information, but when has that mattered? Let the rampant speculation begin!

FORT WAYNE – When Wendy Reust started working as an engineer for the city of Fort Wayne in the late 1990s, she was the only woman holding the position.
Of course the staff was small then: City Utilities did $10 million worth of capital projects in 2000 and had an engineering staff of 14. Most of the engineering work was done by hiring private companies, and city staff acted largely as project managers.
By 2008, though, the city was gearing up for its Long Term Control Plan – the 18-year, $240 million effort to prevent sewage overflows into the rivers. The City Utilities engineering staff had grown to 22 engineers overseeing $60 million in projects. Three of the engineers were women.
Today, officials say, everything is different: The engineering staff is not only larger, but its also younger and more diverse – a change that has not only altered the look of the department, but its vigor and focus.
Their energy and creativity and focus on the environment is breathing fresh vitality into the rest of my engineers and the whole staff, said City Utilities Director Kumar Menon. There was a time when young people were shooshed and pushed away. We now have young engineers leading the way and veteran engineers saying, Thats genius.
City Utilities now has 33 engineering positions overseeing nearly $80 million in capital projects. Fifteen percent of them are women; one-third have less than 10 years experience.
The younger and older engineers are learning from each other, officials said: 30 percent of the City Utilities staff has more than 20 years experience.
The institutional knowledge here is tremendous, Menon said. These guys know where every pipe is buried. (The younger engineers) suck up that information daily, because without our senior staff, our young people would have a tough time navigating.
Though Menon is proud of the diversity in the staff, ask him about the numbers and his first answer is not enough. Still, with 15 percent of the staff being female, City Utilities is ahead of the curve: Nationally, 13.7 percent of civil engineers are women.
There are growing numbers of female engineers available – the National Society of Professional Engineers recently reported that 19 percent of the engineering degrees awarded in 2012 went to women – but there is also a lot of competition for them, Menon said.
When they do graduate, theres so much demand its hard to get them into the Fort Wayne market, he said. We usually have to rely on some type of family connection.
Thats why its so important to begin building a pipeline of talent not from colleges, but starting at elementary schools, Menon said. City Utilities needs almost 40 different skilled professions, from chemists and biologists to IT specialists to attorneys. Building partnerships that encourage students at all ages to go into science, technology, engineering and math creates the talent needed tomorrow regardless of race, gender and background.
When we have that diversity between ages, genders and races, it makes us a better utility and we can better serve the city, Menon said.
And the young engineers the city is hiring say their work here is more rewarding.
Its a lot better than my last job – its a much better learning experience, said Jeana Eviston, who started June 24. I actually get to see my work under construction.
How young is the staff? Just ask Anne Marie Smrcheck, who began working for the city in 2008 after working for 10 years in Indianapolis.
At my previous job, I was always one of the youngest, Smrcheck said. Now, we have a really young staff and I keep asking, How did under 40 become sort of old?
The work is also rewarding in other ways: Engineers say theres nothing like being able to solve a problem for someone, whether its improving drainage, stopping sewer back ups or improving water service.
I like to talk to the customers and get their perspective – it makes you more excited to come to work every day, said Kathleen Berry. Youre working for the people you live next to and for the community you live in.

Kelly Hogan
Kelly Hogan
Equally comfortable with indie rock, traditional country, and jazz pop, Georgia-based singer/songwriter Kelly Hogan explored all of those directions and more in her career. As the singer/guitarist for the Jody Grind in the early '90s, Hogan made a name for herself and the band with her lovely, versatile voice. The group released two albums -- 1990's One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure and 1992's Lefty's Deceiver -- before a car accident killed two of its members. After this loss, Hogan joined the arty garage rock revivalists the Rock*A*Teens, appearing on their 1996 self-titled debut EP; that year, she also released her first solo album, The Whistle Only Dogs Can Hear, which featured her own material alongside covers of Palace and Vic Chesnutt songs. After the release of the Rock*A*Teens' full-length debut, Cry, in 1997, Hogan left the group and began collaborating with alt-country and indie rock artists like Will Oldham and the Waco Brothers. In 2000 she released her second solo album and Bloodshot Records' debut, Beneath the Country Underdog, which featured Jon Langford's Pine Valley Cosmonauts as her backing band, guest vocals by Edith Frost, and photography by Neko Case. A year later, she returned with Because It Feel Good, another eclectic set featuring performers like Andrew Bird and covers of songs by the Statler Brothers, Smog, Charlie Rich, and Randy Newman. Hogan spent the next several years appearing on records and collaborating with the likes of the aforementioned Bird, the Minus 5, and Drive-By Truckers, as well performing as a full-time member of Neko Case's backing band. Her second solo outing, I Like to Keep Myself in Pain, was released through ANTI in 2012. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

City of London Gateway site goes live
Paramount Pictures and Mont Blanc have become the first advertisers on Outdoor Plus's City of London Gateway, the outdoor advertising structure in Aldgate, East London.
Outdoor Plus: The City of London Gateway hosts work by Jason Hawkes
Outdoor Plus said the City of London Gateway will give advertisers access to 649,000 vehicle impacts and 75,00 pedestrian impacts per fortnight.
The structure has an ABC1 audience of 59%, split almost 50/50 between males and females and similar to the audience of Outdoor Plus's Spire on Western Avenue, which launched in January.
This new high resolution digital screen, which goes live today, will target traffic near Fenchurch Street and Leadenhall Street and the surrounding roads, reaching both a local commuting audience as well as City of London workers.
Paramount's ad for the film 'The Dictator' was booked by Kinetic and MEC, while the ad for the Kenneth Green Associates brand Mont Blanc was booked through Posterscope and MPG.
Prior to the live launch, Outdoor Plus has been using the site to showcase photographs taken around the City of London by award–wining aerial photographer Jason Hawkes.
Hawkes has specialised in aerial photography since 1991 and has worked with global brands including Nike, Coca-Cola and Nokia.
Grant Branfoot, sales director for Outdoor Plus, said: "With two major digital site launches in 2012 already, our intentions in this medium are clear.
"Advertisers looking to reach a broad section of high income and successful consumers around the City of London and to exploit the immediacy, tactical creative possibilities and accountability of digital need look no further."

We just stayed here for the month of April & had a perfect stay! The house was in great shape-clean, well maintained, fully equipped plus it was decorated very nicely. We would recommend this property to anyone we know going to Lake Havasu.As well, we would not hesitate to stay at this location again ourselves the next time we visit. The owner was great and easy to work with, the whole rental went very well and we had a very enjoyable vacation. Thanks again. Henry & JudyRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.

My stay was wonderful. This house was beautiful, comfortable and enjoyable. the owner was great to work with and we had an excellent stay. The property was clean, and the pictures did not do it justice. I would recommend this property and would rent this property again. My only suggestion to the owner, maybe a small table or chairs on patio, for somewhere to sit outside...otherwise...great listing.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind words..We have added a table with chairs to the back patio to relax and enjoy, our goal is make everyone's stay pleasant and enjoyable.

I rented this property for weekend sumer use as my family and friends love boating on the lake. We spent a total of five weekends and this home met all of our expectations when it comes to comfort and amenties. The only thing we were disapointed in was that even though there were TV's in all rooms only the family room had actual service, the others were great for watching DVD or video game play. The owner did appreciate my comment and said that he was going to have service added to a couple of other rooms. I will most likely rent this home again and reccomend it to anyone who appreciates a rantal that gives you the feeling of being home. George satisfied renter!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind words..We will address your concerns and our goal is make everyone's stay pleasant and enjoyable.

Its their fault for being there he said of Hiroshima, he sold model B29 superfortresses along with scale models of the Little boy bomb signed by him and protested when the Smithsonian wanted to display the horrors the Japanese victims suffered after the bombings.
There was never any need to use Nukes on Japan, they were a beaten Nation and tried to surrender on three occasions prior to the Nuclear bombings. Macarthur and Eisenhower both displayed dismay and said the Atomic bombings were not necessary and Japan was on the brink of surrender.
America may have won the war but if Japan were to call in it's debts, America would be brought to her knee"s overnight! Who's laughing now?
]]>Any civilized nation tries to avoid civilian casualities in a war, but Tibbets and his overlords went out of their way to maximize it… "attack our military? …we'll we'll attack your civilians"
There's a word for that… Terrorism
]]>As for Pearl Harbor, I think that question assumes that FDR was unaware that this attack was coming. I find this to be absurd. But even if Pearl were an absolutely surprise attack, none of that justifies dropping the bombs on Hiro-Naga, nor the vicious bombing campaign of the USAAF on 67 other Japanese cities in the year prior.
Pearl Harbor was an attack on a military target. Only 68 civilians died, and most of them were from errant anti-aircraft fire. Obviously this was not because of the Japanese concern for innocents, as their despicable crimes in China and elsewhere show, but due to the nature and objective of the attack (to destroy as much of the Pacific Fleet as possible to delay intervention in their imperial expansion.
However, when challenged with the fact that at least 300,000 Japanese civilians were wiped out by the USAAF campaign, many Americans just squawk "PEARL HARBOR" as if this absolves it all, which is absurd.
What would be the correct response to Pearl Harbor? I'm not sure. I would say tactical strikes against the Japanese military. Of course, technology would not have allowed that. So I admit I have no answer for you there. All I can say is that we must not look at WWII as a struggle of good vs. evil, but of evil vs. evil. All sides committed acts of terror and as students of history we should recognize that.
]]>The stage was set, and advocates of strategic bombing got to try their method of war, which (it should be remembered) was intended to avoid the mass casualties of WWI trench warfare.
Bombing cities was meant to avoid mass casualties? What nonsense is that?! The mass casualties of WWI Trench Warfare WERE SOLDIERS.
This meant (in part) using the best available technology (strategic bombers) to destroy enemy manufacturing and distribution centers and military headquarters (a.k.a. cities), despite the civilian populations.
Once again, strategic bombing was not MEANT to avoid killing civilians. Indeed, it was meant to do precisely this. Please watch McNamara discussing what LeMay and he were doing, TARGETING CIVILIANS.
It's absurd to call them "war criminals" as if they were in the same category as Eichmann and Mengele and Tojo.
I am not trying to downplay Axis atrocities by any means. Actually, it was the Truman Administration itself which helped to cover up some of Japan's worst war crimes, Unit 731.
That said, I am simply using their own words. LeMay:
"Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time… I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal…. Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier."
At least he was honest.

Very central. We were travelling from Ahmedabad, and got off at Bombay Central. Bombay can be overwhelming to new comers, so we chose this hotel which... looked close. We got there in 30 mins odd, and were very happy with the presentation, driveway and lobby too. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely consider this hotel on our next visit. by Nitin from Ahmedabad, India on 02/09/2013

The wedding of Heidi and Scott.
The Hare and Hounds Hotel wedding venue.
The photography started with Heidi's preparations at her parents house, where the build up to the ceremony was very relaxed.
We then travelled onto St John's the Baptist church in Old Sodbury, for a very moving and heart felt ceremony.
We then proceeded to The Hare and Hounds, Tetbury. With a photographic stop off at the old gate house to Bullpark Wood.
The staff at The Hare and Hounds were very helpful and organised, as always, making the day flow perfectly for Heidi and Scott.
We continued photographing through to their evening reception, capturing the whole of their special day as they requested. As you can see from the photographs below they have some amazing memories.
We wish you both all the best for your future.
