The top exec of McDonald's (MCD -0.1%) in Canada says the company will ramp up its pace of expansion in the nation after adding restaurants at a moderate clip over the last five years. The company's key rival in Canada is Tim Hortons (THI +1.1%), although fast-casual players such as Chipotle and Five Guys Burgers have made a dent in market share.

This news story has 2 comments:
With so much turnover in the upper ranks of McDonald's Corp. there is no one left who remembers the self inflicted damage the company did to itself in the mid-1990s by building too many new stores and cannibalizing sales of existing stores. MCD watchers should not expect same store sales increases from the Canadian division for the next 3 or 4 years.

So i went riding today and almost immediately my front disc brake started squealing. Almost throughout the entire ride it made lots of noise. So when I got back to my house I took a look at it. I believe I have a bent rotor. Would that cause a lot of noise? Also I was just wondering from other people who have BB5's, do you like them? That's what I have and I like the way they stop but they are kind of a pain to set. Could that be because my rotor was bent?

You're a nutjob.
Posts shouldn't be allowed if they don't agree with what you think? I hate to break it to you, but if that guy wanted to post a picture of himself putting a rabbit into a casserole pan and seasoning it garlic and carrots he'd be allowed to.

Animal abuse is wrong. Anyone who endorses it is immediately my enemy. If you're saying that freedom extends into "WE CAN ABUSE ANIMALS IF WE WANT", then you can just go kill yourself.
End of discussion.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Ah yes, inviting someone to kill themself because they gave a bunny a bath. That escalated quickly!
Getting a rabbit wet is not animal abuse. If that rabbit wasn't living with the OP and lived out in the wild it would be getting wet every time it rained. It would also have to live in fear that owls and just about everything else is trying to eat it.

FORT GRATIOT, Mich., Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- ITIP ProFiciency, LLC ("ITIP"), the leader in agent IP cost management and international patent filing for Fortune® Global 500 corporations, is pleased to announce its continued expansion of ITIP International, LLC into the Asian and European markets by adding Japanese and German versions to its website (www.itip.com).
The company also announced its participation at industry-leading IP events in November 2013 - The Patent Information Fair & Conference in Tokyo, Japan and The IP Law & Management Institute's "Successfully Managing Your IP Assets Through Economic, Technological, Social & Global Change" Conference in San Diego, CA. Senior executives will be sharing their insight on trends and developments in the area of managing IP costs.
The Patent Information Fair is the largest IP event in Asia and is attended by over 15,000 IP professionals. The IP Law and Management advisory committee includes leading organizations such as Abbott Laboratories, Sony, USG and Kraft Foods, with speakers from Qualcomm, 3M, Corning, Medtronic, IBM, Thompson Reuters as well as ITIP ProFiciency.
"There's definitely a lot of momentum for global corporations seeking an innovative approach to agent IP cost management," says Tom Quinn, ITIP's CEO and Founder. "Our message of delivering verifiable and guaranteed net savings on international agent costs is resonating with the world's leading patent departments. We're especially pleased that ITIP has recently launched its patent filing and IP cost management platforms with several of WIPO's Top 25 filers from the US and Asia.
The results of ITIP's cost management platform are unprecedented - an average of 20-30% overall net savings on international patent life cycle costs without impacting patent quality or firm/agent relationships. Average net savings on international patent filing costs alone are 30-60%.
Since 2005, ITIP's team of experts and proprietary systems have analyzed agent invoices from many of the world's largest and most sophisticated IP departments, amassing the industry's foremost global database of IP costs. "Years of IP invoice analysis reveal amazing insight into the efficiency of agent IP services," says Quinn. Armed with global benchmarked data, ITIP successfully targets and eliminates inefficient, unnecessary, and overreaching charges.
Further information on why Fortune® Global 500 corporations consider ITIP to be the next generation in IP cost management can be found at www.itip.com.

Featured Golf Course Review:
Powelton Club, The -- Enjoyable course and a fair test | ||
Review by: Simon Fothergill | The day we played was very wet, yet the course drained exceptionally well. The course isn't too long though undulations throughout the course and being very well kept ensured a challenging test. The layout is excellent with a good distribution of par 3's and 5's. There are a few streams that come into play and the bunkers are well placed to punish poor shots, though the couple of lakes sadly pose no threat. Well worth a trip! | |

Top of the World Golf Course -- An Unexpected Find | ||
Review by: Steve on vacation in Lake George | I found this course wide open with smaller, tough greens. Some holes hilly with blind dogleg challenges. There are spectacular vistas of Lake George and neighboring mountains. The clubhouse offers a B&B with unlimited golf (cart extra) with the stay - a real bargain. | |

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – According to a new study, 83 percent of people are stressed out on the job.
The study, conducted by Harris Interactive for Everest College, surveyed over 1,000 employed adults through the phone.
According to the study, 83 percent of people are stressed out about at least one thing at work.
According to GlobeNewswire, this is a 10 percent increase from 2012.
Results show that low pay tops this list for the third year in a row as the top stressor for employed adults.
Commuting and annoying coworkers tied as the second top stressor; not working in your chosen career came in at number three, poor work-life balance at four, lack of opportunity for advancement at five and fear of being fired or laid off was the sixth top stressor for respondents.

Any recommendations on wired headset with phone controls that works well with Android.
I am a wired headset kinda guy. While the stock iPhone 5/5S headphones are probably not suited for the audiophile types (which I am not), I really liked how well they worked with iOS. Volume, Pause, Double Click etc etc
Any equivalent for Android???
PS.. With Verizon. So no headset included. - 10-09-2013, 04:14 PM #2
Re: Any recommendations on wired headset with phone controls that works well with Android.
Actually the Samsung headphones that are in the box are pretty good. (I hope they are in the box on Verizon). I use Bluetooth myself.
It depends on how much you want to spend.

Final Results in PDF Format
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The third-seeded Northern Illinois men's tennis team secured wins at both the No. 2 and sixth singles positions, but dropped a 4-2 decision versus No. 2 Toledo at the Elliot Tennis Center in Buffalo, N.Y., Friday. The loss eliminated the Huskies from competition in the 2009 Mid-American Conference Championships.
"We put up a great effort today, but Toledo was a stronger doubles team, and they took advantage of that," said NIU head coach Pawel Gajdzik. "Even though we fell behind 3-0, we kept fighting, and extended the match. Jurica and Ross gave us a chance to win, but we fell short.
"It's a tough way to end the season, but we accomplished a lot of first-time occurrences this season, and the future is bright for this program. Our young guys are only going to get better, and more help is on the way with Szymon Tatarczyk (Poland) joining the program next year. I'm also proud of our seniors, who were a large part of us having a great season and ending their careers on a positive note."
Toledo captured the decisive doubles point with regulation pro-set wins at both the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles flights. The Rockets' top tandem of Jared Miller and Knot Likitkumchorn posted an 8-2 win over NIU's Pawel Poziomski and Jimmy Chu, followed by an 8-1 victory by Toledo's Aleksander Elezovic and Levi Bent-Lee over Ross VanderPloeg and Javier Bernabe. Jurica Grubisic and Shaun Stewart were tied with their counterparts (4-4) at No. 2 doubles, but the match was abandoned due to the outcome of the doubles point already being decided.
Toledo jumped out to a 3-0 lead after Sven Burus posted a 6-2, 6-2 win over Stewart at No. 3 singles. Grubisic trimmed the deficit to 3-1 after a straight-set (6-2, 6-2) victory at the second singles position. VanderPloeg's 6-4, 6-1 win over Toledo's Gursher Harika (No. 6) kept the Huskies alive, but the Rockets sealed the win with Jared Miller's straight-set (6-0, 7-5) win over Poziomski at the top singles flight.
Chu, playing No. 5 singles, won the first set (6-4), but dropped the ensuing frame (6-2), and was trailing 5-0 before forcing to have the match go into the books unfinished, as the Rockets had sealed the coveted fourth point in the tournament-formatted match.
NIU finishes its season with a 9-10 (3-2 MAC) record, and tied for second-place in the MAC regular season, after being picked fifth in the preseason poll. The Huskies return four-of the six players on its 2009 postseason roster for the 2009-10 campaign.

I only took a picture of it when my ride to the airport dropped off a couple of people at the Royal Mulu Resort bridge. However, several online reviews mention the Stella Cafe as a good alternative to the expensive, poor-quality food at the resort. If you are staying in the Mulu Park lodging, it is too far to be an option.
Café Mulu is the only place to eat at Mulu Park headquarters. Although there are a few options just across the suspension bridge in the village on the other side of the river, most of the people I met that were staying in the village came to the Cafe Mulu to eat. It is open daily from 07:30 to 21:00. Cafe Mulu is an open air restaurant which serves both local foods western dishes. The dining area is the veranda in front. There is also a patio on the side where you may relax, read, meet other travellers, or play some of the games provided. Alcohol cannot be sold in the Park but you may bring your own to drink with your meal at the cafe. Soft drinks (RM4), tea and coffee are available. Meals are ordered inside at the counter and brought to your table.
The same building has the dorm rooms and the free Mulu Discovery Center, which provides biological and geological information about the Park with information boards, video presentations and a library of resource books. There is also a gift shop with souvenirs and a few groceries.
Favorite Dish:
The Mulu laksa (RM10, ~$2.70) was excellent. The nasi goreng (RM10) and the chicken satay (RM12) were good. The curry chicken (RM12) and grilled fish with eggplant (RM13) were just okay. Breakfast was included in my room rate. The fried bee hoon noodles were good but the nasi lemak was mediocre.
I was only at the Tenyok Rimba jungle resort for three days; however, two very different groups had retreats there during the same time. My first night was the last night for an all-adult Petronas group from Kuala Lumpur. They had local staff doing the cooking. My second night was the first night for a large Christian bible school group of young people and adults. They did their own cooking. Nuh and I were the only other people there and we were always invited to share. As has been my experience before, people in the rural areas of the world are always friendly and hospitable.
Favorite Dish:
The food was all local, which I thoroughly enjoy, and even included wild boar. Typically meals had soup, meat, eggs, cooked greens, and rice wrapped in a leaf.
Rustic setting and located at Kampong Bentul (on the road from Kuching to Santubong), which is at a river mouth.
Favorite Dish:
The usual seafood fare is available, including chilli crab, black pepper crabs, bamboo clams, fish, crayfish, jelly fish, and prawns.
'Bileen', a kankong-like vegetable found in the wild, is seasonally available served with belachna or with garlic.
Fresh coconut juice is recommended.
This is a typical local coffee shop that provides local coffee, with a food stall that sells soup and dry noodles, bee hoon and 'kway teow.'
Favorite Dish:
Among the many dishes, don't miss the dry kolo mee. It has the special freshly lard aroma, served with prawns, vegetables, pig liver (sometimes and/or kidney), and minced meat. During the Chinese New Year period, where fresh supplies are unavailable, roast pork (as seen in the pnoto) is used instead.
They built a simple wooden structre and lit a fire. Then, they placed the bamboo stems over the fire and turned them periodically until the food was perfectly cooked.
They retrieved the food packages from the stems, poured them into dishes and ready to eat.
I must say that the food was a bit insipid for my taste, but we had a great afternoon and it was a very interesting way of cooking.
When we left, everything was in the very same state as we had found it.
After our stay in the longhouse, the Ibans whith whom we had stayed invited us to a picnic befroe we headed back to Kuching.
The entire community came along with us in their perahus and selected an adequated place by the river. They then proceed to cut some bamboo stems that they would then use for cooking.
The women mixed all the ingredients (different kinds of vegetables and chicken), wrapped them into the bamboo leaves and put them into the hollow stems of the bamboo.
This restaurant is built on a jetty on a mangrove near the beach. It could have been a romantic kind of alfresco dining if not for the mosquitoes and the different bugs flying around you and trying to get to your food! ha ha ha.
The restaurant try to keep the bugs away by burning cartons, so while you eat, try to shoo the bugs away, you get to inhale smoke as well. hi hi hi
The other diners seems to be doing quite fine and enjoying the ambience, maybe its just me being fussy!
The food is quite good. Service is good as well. Transport is free if you are staying at Holiday Inn but only for dinner.
If you are staying at Holiday Inn you can come to this restaurant with the free shuttle, just tell them at the entrance that you are only there to eat at the restaurant. Prices are cheap from 5rm, food not bad. Tried the Sarawak Laksa here.
Closes at 4pm.
Lousy food!! My son felt sick after eating the food. We didnt finish it up the food and the price was lousy too. More effort could have been done in preparing the food, does not look or taste fresh.
Someone should give it another try and tell me how it is, maybe the chef was sick on the day I went.
Free shuttle from Holiday Inn Damai. Just tell the reception that you want to eat at the restaurant.
This is a great place located near the Holiday Inn ... it is small and has an intimate and friendly atmosphere.
Favorite Dish:
Great dishes are the traditional Chicken Satay and the local seafood steamboat ... delicious.
New Dolphin restaurant.
15mins drive from Damai Resort.
We called them by phone and they pick us up at Damai beach resort. The seafood is OK. A bit expensive though..maybe bcos they know we are tourist. Lovely setting by the ocean. The water were even beneath us. In fact we were on the ocean. I could see the water beneath me through the wood floor.
I wonder what wud happen if the wood collapse...EEEEigh
Located at the top of Civic Centre. Its a restaurant with a 360 degree view of the city of Kuching. The views are beautiful.
The food are ala-carte eastern local dishes served with rice. Nothing great about the food though.
Some of the lake resorts such as Batang Ai & others may include waterfall & riverside picnic as part of the package. The highlight will be food prepared by native while you're enjoying the swim.
You'll find the foods served are unique & delicious partially due to hunger after maximum fun in the river or waterfall.
Denis is a very friendly person and the food here is really delicious.
You can sit outside on the patio or eat inside.
The choice of food might not be the largest in town but it is one of the largest portions and everything we tried was good.
Service is good too and you never have to wait too long for a drink refill.
Happy hour between opening and 8PM
Beware of the Iced Mocha you may want another and another and another.

Netflix Renews Original Series "Orange is the New Black" For Second Season
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Netflix Original Series, "Orange is the New Black," the comedic drama set in a women's prison from creator and executive producer Jenji Kohan ("Weeds") will return with a second season on Netflix (NFLX) in 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101014/SF81638LOGO)
Produced by Lionsgate Television, the hour-long series starring Taylor Schilling, and based on the popular memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, is set to debut its first 13-episode season on Thursday, July 11 at 12:01 AM PDT in all territories where Netflix is available U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Latin America, Brazil and the Nordics.
"Jenji and her team have produced a phenomenal series and we're eager to get a second season to our viewers," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.
"I am thrilled that Netflix has extended my sentence," said series creator and executive producer Jenji Kohan.
"We're enormously proud of the brilliant work of Jenji, the cast and the entire production team," said Kevin Beggs, president, Lionsgate Television Group, "and we're delighted about this early second season renewal. Netflix has been a great partner on this series and we look forward to our continuing collaboration."
"Orange is the New Black" follows engaged Brooklynite Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), whose decade-old relationship with drug-runner Alex (Laura Prepon) results in her arrest and 15-month long detention in a federal penitentiary. To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiance Larry (Jason Biggs) for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes and form unexpected new alliances with a group of eccentric and outspoken inmates. The series' diverse ensemble also includes Kate Mulgrew, Natasha Lyonne, Pablo Schreiber, Danielle Brooks, Laverne Cox and Taryn Manning.
The second season of "Orange is the New Black" is set to begin production later this summer.
"Orange is the New Black" is executive produced by Kohan. The series is produced by Lionsgate Television for Netflix.

SOURCE Netflix, Inc.
A new season approved before the first season airs is a good sign that it reviewed well.
Cable provider will never let Netflix eat their lunch or dinner. They are barely eating their appetizer. They will have to raise their prices soon or raise more capital. One small miss on earnings or subs and you will see 2011 all over again. Also I truly can't ever see the subs in foreign markets being anything to get excited about unless those markets receive the same content we have in the states. Then you will have content owners and internet service providers with their hands in Netflix pockets. Gary J you better be careful owning Netflix stock long term. Mark my words the stock will take a beating in the next couple of year and possibly get bought out when the evaluation comes down a good deal. Apple or Microsoft will never buy Netflix at these levels. I have been following Netflix for 3 years now. The service is really good for tv show watchers. As for me I am a huge movie watcher and I feel Netflix is extremely lacking in that aspect. The documentaries on Netflix and Amazon Prime are great but YouTube is typically my go to there. As many other people have stated the entry point into this market is low. Especially for the cable companies whom have very deep pockets. Also cable provider own a lot of content which would make their entry point a lot more reasonable. My point here is just to express my concerns to the average investor. Netflix to me is a traders stock, not a buy and hold stocks. Good luck to all and happy trading!
Disclosure: I am an Amazon Prime member but more for the shipping the video streaming is just a plus. -
Don't worry about me - I will get out ahead, the question is by how much.
I will not "mark" your words though. You have a lot to say about what will happen but really don't know any more than anyone else. Now if Carl Icahn has something to say, his words I will mark. -
Your right I don't but look at how many companies are entering in the streaming service arena. I wouldn't wait on what Mr. Ichan has to say because then it could be to late. He only entered in his position because of the possible take over aspect. Which I feel would be around 100. I think Netflix is a horrible investment for anyone but definitely for anyone over 50. I would invest in a less volatile stock. Good luck to all!
Any look at how many companies are in and enter the grocery business and yet my Whole Foods has tripled in the last four years. The best prosper. Mr. Icahn or someone without even a bio - not a tough choice.

Star Lotulelei to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
- Views
- 3062
- Comments
- 11
07:41 PM ET 03.19 | So what does Star bring as a football player? He's big, strong, quick and knows the game. He's the perfect package at the defensive tackle position, and has more size, strength, and ability than Roy Miller. He'd be able to play next to Gerald McCoy and more than fill the role that Miller has left vacant. In fact, he would rival McCoy for the role of best player on the defensive line, with his combination of size and strength troubling opposing offensive lines every week. I think Lotulelei must be closely evaluated, and serious homework has to be done about his condition. But if everything checks out, I would be happy if Star found his way to Tampa Bay, because he would instantly improve the defensive line. Plus, how else can you be sure to get a Star with a first-round pick?

NARBERTH, Pa. - March 2, 2010 (WPVI) -- Opposition to a class action lawsuit seems to be gaining momentum in the Lower Merion School District.
A meeting was held Tuesday night at Narberth Borough Hall. It was limited to parents of Lower Merion School District students issued a laptop with a webcam.
The meeting was sparked by a lawsuit brought by the family of Harriton High sophomore Blake Robbins, which accuses district employees of remotely activating the webcam on his laptop to photograph him.
The meeting room was at capacity, with more than 150 parents showing up. Some were there to ask questions, while others were there to raise concerns over the class action lawsuit filed in federal court by the Robbins family.
A lot of ground was covered Tuesday night but several concerns remain.
First, parents are concerned about a lack of information due to the gag order that prevents even elected school officials from releasing details about what happened.
Second, a class action lawsuit and the accompanying legal expenses to the school district would have the same result, as one parent puts it, as essentially suing themselves.
"I think it's going to put a burden on the students and taxpayers. We already built a new high school, have another on the way. We have a burden already," said parent Lonnie Hovey.
"We really feel the administration and school district is doing what they can to educate our children and we don't want to jump to conclusions," said parent Colleen Wortley.
Four fathers of school district children are spearheading the effort. Two are elected officials and two are attorneys engaged in this effort as private citizens in a pro-bono effort.
They're circulating an online petition on lmsdparents.org hoping to prevent this lawsuit from being certified as a class action by a judge. The petition has more than 300 parent signatures.
They say there are less costly ways to proceed, adding they are in no way thwarting the efforts of investigators.
"We'd like this issue to be resolved efficiently, effectively, and with limited level of cost to the county," said Michael J. Boni.
The Robbins' attorney, Mark Haltzman, requested to address parents but was declined. He says the family wants the litigation resolved quickly. In a statement he added"The Robbins' remain hopeful that with prompt disclosure of all pictures and other information captured by use of the webcams, and that assurances that such information is properly destroyed, we can reach that goal".
Organizers say the meeting was exploratory with no clear cut next step.

Circular Quay is a Sydney Trains station located in Sydney, Australia and is situated on the City Circle line. The station is elevated with the elevated Cahill Expressway roadway directly above it, and lies directly behind (to the south of) the Circular Quay ferry terminals from which services operate to a number of locations around Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour). To the south, the station faces Alfred Street, which is the terminus for a number of bus services. Circular Quay is the nearest railway station to the Sydney Opera House and The Rocks area of Sydney.
Circular Quay is the 11th most patronised railway station in Sydney (out of a total of 176 stations), with an average of 18,460 passengers boarding per day.
Circular Quay is an area of historical significance for Sydney, as it was for a long time the central harbour of a settlement which relied on shipping for its connection to the outside world. By the 20th century, ferry commuter wharves began to eclipse commercial shipping wharves as the dominant feature of the Quay area. The area became a transport hub as it served as the terminus of both ferry services and tram services (it remains an important terminus for ferry services and bus services, the latter having replaced the tram network in Sydney).[1]
Planning for a railway station here to complement this transport hub began in 1909, and work was authorised in 1915. Tunnels to link the surrounding stations to the future Circular Quay station were built between 1917 and 1926 (eastern section) and 1932 (western section). Work on the section of the railway through Circular Quay began in 1936, was interrupted by the Second World War, and recommenced in 1945. Work was again interrupted between 1951 and 1953, but the viaduct was finally completed in 1954.[1]
Designs for the station building itself commenced in 1927, revised in 1937, and the station was finally completed and opened on 20 January 1956, with the first regular train services beginning on 22 January. The completion of Circular Quay station marked the completion of the City Circle railway as originally envisaged by Bradfield making it the newest station on the line.
The construction and placement of the station was always controversial due to its prominent location at the head of Circular Quay, an important natural and cultural landmark and visitors' attraction. When the Cahill Expressway was opened above the station in 1958, the controversy over the entire structure only intensified. There have been various proposals to relocate the station underground in conjunction with the demolition of the Cahill Expressway, however these have not come to fruition.
In 2006 RailCorp performed maintenance and cleaning of the station's 50-year-old facade.[2] A refurbishment in 2007 introduced sun-shading awnings on the platforms, removed advertising hoarding between the tracks, and improved facilities on the concourse level.
Circular Quay station features a ground-level central concourse, and elevated platforms on a second level. Both platforms feature sections of open galleries, offering views to Circular Quay, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House on one side, and Customs House and the Alfred Street plaza on the other. Viaducts lead from the elevated platforms to tunnels through surrounding elevated terrain that lead to neighbouring stations.
The station has two main, double-storey facades, facing Circular Quay to the north, and Customs House to the south respectively. The northern facade is faced with polished granite tiles, while the southern one features polished granite and sandstone. The station name is featured in steel lettering on both sides. The upper storey of the facades correspond to the central sections of the platforms, and feature steel-framed windows. The exterior of the remainder of the platform feature open, glass-railed galleries, supported on the lower level by a continuation of the central facade.[1] The top of the northern, harbour-facing facade is incorporated into the viewing platform and rest area located above the station alongside the Cahill Expressway roadway. This platform can be reached from the pedestrian walkway on the Cahill Expressway.
The station platforms are reached from the ground level concourse via stairs, escalators and lifts. The central concourse is surrounded on either side by retail and food shops and public toilets located under the elevated platforms. The concourse is decorated with brass details in an aquatic animal motif, seen in sculpted grills above stairways and doorways. Glass bricks are used extensively in various parts.
The station is in an inter-war functionalist style, as seen in the strong horizontal lines presented by the windows and galleries, with art deco details.[1]
Platforms and services[edit]
Trains on the Airport & East Hills, South, Bankstown and Inner West lines pass through Circular Quay, and the station is considered the terminal point for these services (technically it is where the line the train travels on changes). Services on the Illawarra line used the station until 1980 when its integration with the newly built Eastern Suburbs line was completed and services were re-routed. The station is fully accessible to wheelchairs.
The station is served by six to ten trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.

The Seven Habits of Real Human Beings, Part Two: Make a Sacred Space
March 21, 2012 Length: 14:03
Fr. Richard examines the second day of creation and what it tells us about humanity, even as we anticipate the ultimate revelation and perfection of humanity at the Pascha of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Ancient Faith Radio provides spiritual sustenance with superb content; it's a treasury of good gifts and a stream of clear water. I live in Moscow, Russia, and it was a very heartening experience for me to hear the strong and clear message of Orthodox Christianity from English-speaking brethren in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. Amazing homilies from Fr. Pat Reardon and Fr. Theodore Paraskevopoulos! Thank you very much, Fr. Matthew, for your in-depth reflections on the writing of the Church Fathers.

In a fast paced world where getting through the day is considered a big accomplishment, it is often difficult, if not sometimes impossible, to pause and reflect on where you are.
You are in a position where you are on your own but you have no one to turn to talk things through. Within some organizations, conditions are not conducive for open, hard discussions for you to bounce things off. You need to get some perspective but have no one to turn to. Whether a high level corporate executive or a member of the clergy, the issues that they face are similar. These could include: lack of a feeling of fulfillment; wonder if this is what they were meant to do; or frustrated in their lack of effectiveness. The Epiphany Experience will work with clients to help sort through these issues and consult objectively.

angers in Death Valley National Park are begging tourists to stop cracking eggs on the sidewalk. Daytime temperatures there have soared above 120 degrees, inspiring many visitors to try to fry eggs on the ground, leaving a mess for maintenance crews. If visitors must attempt egg-frying, the rangers said, they should at least "use a pan or tin foil."

These are times of enormous government investment to try to moderate the downturn. In the German recession of the Thirties about the only good thing Hitler did was to build the autobahn network, giving 5.5 million people jobs. The Keynesian "multiplier effect" from increased government spending was increased consumer spending and investment that brought the country out of the depression. We now have an even better opportunity.
There is a way to create jobs that can reduce energy costs and make the 20 per cent carbon reduction by 2020 agreed in Poland last week possible. We need to provide plastic tubing and heat exchangers to British households in an affordable way. In the US the first million ground-source heat-pumps saved between 30 and 70 per cent on fuel bills, which is the equivalent effect of planting 380 million trees. The capital costs take five years to repay, but these are staggering figures for laying plastic pipes a couple of metres deep in a garden.
Although the cost of materials and installation is still significant to the individual, surely the country can afford to take a long-term view? Why not start with housing associations and keep the utility cost saving for capital repayment, so going "green" has no immediate user impact?
Seems much less controversial than VAT changes, but maybe it is just too simple? Keynes himself said: "The difficulty lies not in developing new ideas but escaping from old ones."

Robbed again by Wall Street bandits
The current banking chaos has been caused by institutional fraud on a world-wide basis. The banks have defrauded each other and their clients. The Bernard Madoff affair is only the latest but certainly not the last financial "naughtiness with intent" scam to be discovered.
Most governments are realising that there needs to be much tighter control on unusual investment vehicles. There is a far simpler answer – ban all of these investments. The Americans will no doubt accuse everybody else of an attack on capitalism. It is an attack not on capitalism but on gangsterism.
The US is the country that gave us Capone, Luciano, Bonano, Gambino, Lucchese, Colombo and of course, Ponzi himself. In those days, at least the authorities knew who the enemy was. Nowadays, it is much more difficult because modern-day bandits are part of the establishment and their fame and power is the deterrent to proper investigation. Not the gun but financial and political "clout" is their weapon.

A couple of headlines caught my attention. First, Scotland has the highest prison population in Europe; and second, our bankers have given away (again) several billion pounds of our money to a man with a scam, called, improbably, Madoff. Isn't it time we started to jail the real robbers: the bankers?
Hugh Kerr
For years, the line spun by the bankers and hedge fund managers has been that we must pay their inflated salaries and obscene bonuses because they were "the best of the best" and if we paid less, we'd get the B-class managers who were not nearly as good at making money.
Now that hedge funds are revealed as yet another criminal undertaking, might we enquire whether the B-class, or even the C-class, with lower salaries and mere five-digit bonuses might have tended our money more safely?

Tony Paterson writes: "In Germany, few people have to get out their history books" to understand the connection between economic and political crisis in their country ("Why spendthrift Brown is scaring the Germans", 12 December). He should, though. Contrary to his depiction, the "wheelbarrow" hyperinflation took place some six years before depression really took hold.
Meanwhile, there was a period of some stability, associated with the introduction of, first, the Rentenmark, then the Reichsmark. The latter was not the currency in the wheelbarrows.
He is correct that the inflation and the depression left deep scars, contributing both to National Socialist takeover and to post-war economic attitudes.

Stop ranting against religion
Nigel Stone and Richard Erskine ("Do world faiths deserve respect?" 11 December) no doubt see themselves as cool, dispassionate, analytical thinkers, but their language betrays them: "delusion", "superstition", "frightening children", "howls of anguish" – the same old simplistic aggression, the usual atheist shock-jock splutter. For most of us the debate moved on many years ago.
Does Mr Stone really believe that every single Muslim advocates genital mutilation, and every Christian discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation? And how would the rationalist Mr Erskine counter the argument that the rational way out of our present difficulties is euthanasia for all those unable to be of economic value to the state? He can only reject that position in terms of human values – which are a matter of faith.
As a humanist myself, I question many aspects of religious practice; but I recognise religion as a complex, deep-rooted, permanent aspect of humanity, often flawed but often also beneficial. We need to unpick the interplay between cultures and the faiths they contain, and understand how they are shaped by the economic frames within which they operate. A faith may mould aspects of a culture; more often a culture moulds its faiths. But all faiths and cultures are a debate between many strands: as economics and politics change, different strands come to the fore.
This is serious stuff: people's lives are at stake. There's no room for ranters. If people are too impatient to grapple with the complexities, is it safe for them to enter the debate?

Treat league tables with caution
Your education editorial "A Wind of change in Europe" (4 December) seems, to say the least, simplistic. Judgements based on university "league tables" need to take careful account of the criteria; if these are chosen to favour anglophone universities, it will be no surprise that those universities occupy the top positions.
Nor is it clear that state control stifles innovation. Almost every university system on the European continent has recently been subject to rapid and drastic change. Indeed, the danger with state control would seem to be the imposition of ill-considered innovations that are based on political expediency and which run the risk of being reversed by an incoming administration with different priorities.
For all that, such is the quality of decision-making in British universities that I have recently started to wonder whether the system would not be better run directly by the state. One look at the politicians is, of course, enough to disabuse one of this fanciful notion, but British universities would do well to abandon some of their parochial complacency, while those elsewhere in Europe should be extremely cautious in adopting Anglo-Saxon practices merely on the basis of a couple of meaningless "league tables".

The full story of an MMR inquest
On 2 December you reported in great detail that a healthy baby died following an MMR vaccination. The article discussed the opposing sides of the argument put forward by health professionals and the child's family. But the story remained open insofar as the coroner was expected to take three days of evidence before making a ruling.
Two days later the coroner reached a verdict. He decided that the MMR played no part in the death of the baby. The story that you reported seeds doubt again about the safety of the MMR vaccination but the conclusion of the story would reassure that this is not the case.
This is the kind of reporting bias that whipped up the MMR crisis in the first place.

Accidental deaths in Afghanistan
Alan Searle (Letters, 28 November) writes: "So maybe the next time the Pentagon puts up a drone, guided by a computer-gamer-turned-soldier in Florida and [bombs] a wedding party in Afghanistan, we should all stop for a moment and think about how we would feel if we were on the receiving end of that missile". This description is flawed in every aspect.
Firstly the "computer-gamer-turned-soldier" is actually an aviator in the US Air Force. He flies the aircraft remotely from Creech Air Force Base in Clark County, Nevada. The Afghan wedding party that was "bombed" was in fact engaged by direct fire from a manned AC-130 gunship with a typical crew of 13. This aircraft was acting in direct support of a Special Forces operation which was in close contact with the enemy, unfortunately in the vicinity of the wedding party. They were not bombed, nor hit by a missile fired from a drone, but most likely killed by direct fire from a 105mm cannon.
I would have to agree that if I was part of the wedding party which was attacked in 2002 I might indeed be unhappy. However, if I stood in my back garden in London at night, two doors down from a property at which terrorists were engaged in a pitched battle with the SAS, I might have more sense than to press ahead with my planned garden party. I certainly wouldn't chose to close the event with the celebratory act of discharging fully automatic assault weapons into the air towards the circling helicopters.
The message has now got round in Afghanistan that casually discharging weapons towards allied aircraft is a life-shortening experience and we have had no repeat of this incident.

Mystery of the missing children
Robert Verkaik's report (10 December) on the disappearance of children from care is very welcome. A quick glance at the Missing People website provides further evidence that some children go missing, and have remained missing, for long periods of time. An emerging trend has been the increase in such children from overseas, often entering the UK via the asylum process.
What is deeply frustrating is that in 2008 the authorities are still unable to provide a reliable count of the number of children who are missing from either home or care.

Putting the boot in
You describe the shoe-throwing attack on President Bush at his Iraqi press conference as "a demonstration of severe disrespect, by the standards of Arab culture" (report, 15 December). Would this be in contrast to Western culture, where such a deed would be regarded as an act of great honour and friendship?

Doctors driven away
I have been a GP trainer for 15 years. The current cohort of newly qualified GPs are the most gifted I have seen. They will not make the mistake of working in "supermarket" practices (letters, 13 December). They will be going abroad to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, countries that are continuing to invest in traditional general practice. In this country the Government is hell bent on destroying it, as it did the dentists.

Capital crime
Guy Keleny (Errors and Omissions, 13 December) says that only "some periodicals, some literary and artistic works and some rock groups" need a definite article spelt with a capital T. In a long civil-service career I was always told that for any reference to our sovereign, the correct form was "The Queen". So where does that place her majesty? As an artistic work, I guess.

Unless you regard shopping, praying, public oration and debate as a blood-soaked experience then perhaps you would agree that it is unfair to equate the "red in tooth and claw nature" of Strictly Come Dancing with the Roman Forum (leading article, 15 December). Even if you meant "arena" or "coliseum" you omitted to mention that popular democracy could even then be denied by the direction of one imperial thumb.

Language of youth
Youth-speak (letter, 16 December) is full of oxymorons. I have never quite recovered from a children's display in the church hall on the theme of "God is - - -", the most distressing being "God is wicked!" Does inflation now render that "well wicked"?

Toronto Raptors
Best Value: Chris Bosh, No. 4, 2003. Bosh, Toronto's career leader in scoring and rebounding, gets the nod for a franchise that has won only one playoff series.
Worst Value: Aleksandar Radojevic, No. 12, 1999. The 7-foot-3 Radojevic played all of three games for the Raptors. He was limited by back problems, and they traded him to Denver in 2001.(Photo: Lisa Blumenfeld/Getty Images)
