On issues as far-ranging as the Iraq war, healthcare and economic disparity, America has moved decidedly to the left. Isn't it time we stop fretting about words like "liberal"?

In the new issue of Vanity Fair, experts in and out of the government report that the groundwork for a war against Iran has already been set.

Bush is the right man to lead us in the era post whatever horrible calamity he leads us into next."
While out pimping his book, Pat Buchanan made an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday, where he exposed himself with a statement as racist as it was whiny: ?I?d like the country I grew up in.

America has allocated just under $320 billion to date on the Iraq war—a price tag so staggeringly large that it has almost become an abstraction.

WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia radiologist and two Pennsylvania attorneys who were involved in thousands of asbestos lawsuits have been found guilty of civil racketeering for conspiring to fabricate claims against CSX Transportation.
The Wheeling jury on Thursday ordered Pittsburgh attorneys Robert Peirce and Louis Raimond and Bridgeport radiologist Ray Harron to pay CSX more than $429,000, which could be tripled because they were convicted of civil racketeering charges. They also were found guilty of conspiracy and fraud.
"It was clear from this verdict that the jury refused to endorse cheating in lawsuits," said Huntington attorney Marc Williams, who helped represent CSX.
Peirce filed more than 14,000 asbestos cases against Jacksonville, Fla.-based CSX. Harron diagnosed tens of thousands of asbestos claims for the attorneys.
Harron's diagnoses were first called into question in 2005 by a judge in Texas that heard cases involving the lung disease silicosis. CSX filed its lawsuit later that year, claiming Kentucky railroad worker Earl Baylor was fraudulently diagnosed with asbestosis.
At the trial, which began Dec. 11, CSX attorneys argued that Harron had initially found hundreds of patients clear of asbestosis, but later switched his diagnosis. It presented 11 of those cases.
Peirce defended his aggressive filing of asbestos claims, saying that CSX could only claim that 11 out of the thousands his firm had filed were without any reasonable basis. He presented radiologists and other witnesses who testified the x-rays in those 11 cases were consistent with asbestosis and that "we not only had a reasonable basis to file the lawsuits but we were obligated to do so," he said.

NHL season unlike any other presents 'a lot of unknowns'
For the second time in the past 20 years, the NHL regular season will consist of 48 games, a sprint that has players talking about every night being like the playoffs. Not quite, and as Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee pointed out, "It's just a lot of unknowns."
No one knows exactly how to prepare or what will happen in a lockout-shortened season with shootouts and three-point games. No one knows whether the teams that are supposed to be great, like the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers, will live up to it with everything thrown out of whack.
"This is unchartered territory for the National Hockey League, contrary to what people are talking about," NBC Sports analyst Ed Olczyk said. "Yes, this is the second time they have a 48-game schedule, but this is the first time where we are coming out of a work stoppage, practicing for five days and going and playing."
In 1994-95, NHL teams had a training camp before the lockout began. This time, it's a week of informal skates and then camps leading right up to Saturday's grand league reopening.
Adam Oates played that 1994-95 season, and it's so long ago that he can't remember how the Boston Bruins responded or how anyone shook the rust.
For the Capitals, Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames, the teams breaking in new coaches, the learning curve is sharp. For everyone, the start won't be pretty.
"Guys are still not in game shape," Oates said. "Saturday night's game is going to be sloppy. I expect it to be."
It's hard to confidently expect much else this season. The Southeast Division could finish in any order and it wouldn't be surprising. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov could find his game for the Philadelphia Flyers instead of being "lost in the woods." The Minnesota Wild could make a marked improvement with offseason additions Ryan Suter and Zach Parise.
Or none of it could happen. But it's reasonable to expect some surprises. And the pressure is on, right from the start.
"The sense of urgency right off is to win games because, in a 48-game season, if you lose three or only get a point out of your first six possible, that's the equivalent of getting two points out of the first 12," NBC play-by-play man Mike Emrick said.
"If you lose three, you lose six, really. That's the urgency of these times. They're not going to have much time to get ready, but they still have to go hard right off the bat."
Because of that, talk about a hot start is rampant all over the league. A slow start or a losing streak can be the end of a team's playoff hopes.
"You know it's going to be 48 games, hard 48 games, and it's going to be playoffs," Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin said. "You can't lose the points right away; you have to make some points because you never know what's going to happen in the end. But you just have to try and take as many points as you can."

We couldn't have been more pleased with our June, 2013 stay at the beautiful Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas! My husband, myself and our 3 teenage daughters rented a two bedroom villa with a lockout studio and couldn't have been more pleased! The villa was just perfect....so clean and so much space for all of us! The grounds were so beautiful, the pool and beach were amazing, everyone was so friendly and helpful....it was just a perfect vacation in paradise! We rented from Rob and we're very pleased! He was always very helpful and knowledgeable and was always quick to respond to all of my questions! We would definitely rent from him again and so hope we can come back to this most beautiful, amazing place!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Biting the bullet
Break through the boredom barrier, and make provision for a worry- free retirement. Accepting just any old pension package can be a big mistake, so it is worth taking the trouble to get good advice. Nic Cicutti points the way
Here are some questions to ask a prospective provider.
What are the contribution fees? Look for companies that levy little or nothing for each premium, whether monthly or one-off. Good companies will charge pounds 2 per payment or less.
What are the annual charges? Look for companies that charge 1 per cent or less per year to manage your money.
How are charges levied? Some companies will tell you that their average annual charges are 1 per cent or slightly higher. What they don't tell you is that they sting you heavily up-front, lessening the load only after five or 10 years. Others take a larger cut of initial payments, calling them "capital" or "initial units". Look for a company with flat- rate charges from year one. Most important, make sure the adviser can explain to your satisfaction how charges are levied.
Is the independent adviser (always choose one of them) prepared to cut his or her commission, or accept a fee to sell the product? Aim to pay no more than pounds 300 or so to set up a simple, uncomplicated pension: three or four hours' work.
How flexible is the pension? You may work for several different employers, some with occupational pension schemes you should join instead. You may get divorced or lose your job, or have children, or want to increase or cut contributions for a variety of other reasons. Choose a pension that allows you to do all of these things without incurring extra charges.
Should you pay single or regular contributions? With regular premiums, the adviser will usually receive up-front commission based on the expected period of contributions. This takes a large slice of your first two years' payments. A single premium gives the adviser about 4 per cent of everything you pay in - but no more. Choose that, or a "recurring single premium" pension, where every payment counts as a one-off.
Despite all these warnings, you may feel bamboozled by pension company jargon. If you believe this is a deliberate tactic, have nothing more to do with the company or adviser.
If you are still uncertain which companies to look at, among the lowest-charging are: Virgin, Eagle Star, Flemings, Scottish Widows, Merchant Investors, Equitable Life, Standard Life, PensionStore. Ask for cost comparisons based on the same premiums paid in. Check on past performance, then choose.
Boring? Perhaps. But you will sleep easier once it's done

Shaun Keaveny – Live and Langeorous
Various venues
Until Mon Dec 16
Reviews & ratings
Judging by how packed out this was - on a Monday night in early February - Shaun W Keaveny has a very devoted following of Radio 6 Music breakfast show listeners, and rightly so. What makes the breakfast show special is not just the music but his self-deprecating humour and his absolutely wicked line in impressions.
Keaveny seems to be wondering about a move into stand-up, and did a shortish introductory comedy segment in both halves before interviewing his (established) stand-up comedian guests, Mark Thomas, Adam Hills and .. another guy (sorry, other guy, I've forgotten your name even though I thought you were the best of the three!!)
His stuff was really funny and well-presented though personally I could have done with perhaps one less w@nking joke. Keaveny has a real comic gift though he maybe needs to loosen up a little and allow it to shine out. He could also make much better use of his huge talent for impressions and mimicry - on the few occasions when we had a burst of that there was something truly special.
The interview format worked less well, though it did have the huge advantage of making Keaveny seem like the funniest man in the room. With an audience more than half women, the conversation was blokey in the extreme - low points for me were Hills describing ordering a prostitute as 'like ordering a pizza' and Thomas joking that on his return from a walking tour having put on weight, his wife asked 'what's her name?'. But more to the point, if you have a load of stand-ups, why not get them to do stand-up? These guys aren't interesting enough for a bit of meandering chat. There was an almost audible sigh of relief, in particular, when the interview with Hills finished and we were back to Keaveny. Sorry, Adam, but your jokes about cancer patients just aren't that funny, and as to the German/concentration camp one, let's not even go there.
So, in summary, it was a good night out, but next time, Shaun, lose the guests and give it to us straight - you *are* good enough and like I say, on Monday night you were the funniest man in the room.

- " The owners are very friendly and helpfull. They can arrange everything for you (all the trips you can imagine doing at the falls) and will try to give all the information you need to know. Thanks Marina and Dennis! They also have many services, like breakfast, laundry, postcard sending, etc. Thanks Karen! We do believe the price for the bungalow is a bit high, but since it is Zimbabwe and everything there is expensive there, we believe they give a good price dough. It is simplyly a nice place! "
- 09 Aug 2013 Marieke Netherlands
- " We were unable to draw physical cash from ANY ATM in Victoria Falls. This prevented us from enjoying the experience to the fullest extent possible. This should be communicated to travellers prior to their experience - the need to take sufficient cash with. Otherwise, nothing wrong with Victoria Falls Backpackers Inn - was wonderful and the comaraderie was wonderful. "
- 01 Jul 2013 Leo South Africa
- " They are about 1 from the main part of town, but the new staff is very friendly. Nightly campfire where many people gather to talk about their travels, a nice breakfast area where we always were able to chat with other travelers. Because it is a little further away than others, it was quiet and easy to get to sleep each night. They were able to book excursions right there rather than having to "barter" with all the locals in town. We were very pleased with our stay and I would go back. "
- 06 Jul 2012 Miles
- " Zimbabwe in total still a bit run down, but new owners trying hard to uplift the place. I think in a couple of months it will be tip-top. "

I am my partner's favorite ass to be whipped. (As though I am being punished for hitting on a lady in red). I was recently given the additional burden of "Talent Induction". Talent Induction is a fancy name for sifting through hundreds of internship applications and offering internship spots for the sexiest most academically fitting candidate.
This month we had three interns.
Intern A – Geeta - from one of the best law schools in the country. She was fantastic with her work - sharp, witty, quick. I often felt inferior in front of her typo free work. She also had the colour of skin that is normally associated with people from the southern part of the country, wore braces and was usually dressed in ill fitting kurtas. But hell, behind that Jassi look, there was a stud associate in the making.
Intern B – Prakash - from the law school that I consider the second best in the country. Was fairly good with his work, spent most of his time playing online chess. Was smart but not hard working. The sort of a man that one would like to sit and drink with – good company but bad influence. We would exchange movies, porn and music. Men who can speak of delisting of shares with the same intensity as the Rolling Stones and Beetles are rare, he was one of them.
Intern C – Mary. Poetically Mary had a little lamb, in reality Mary also had a little brain. The Indian blonde, the manifestation of the ultimate idiot, her gross incompetence would make the Indian rugby team look like world champions. If she were in Tamil Nadu, I would build a temple in honour of her idiocy! Came from one of the "wannabe" law schools and had got the internship with her father's influence. She was Auro from Paa, Rani Mukherjee from Black and the Taare Zameen Par kid all rolled into one and multiplied by three. It took me 3 hours to "teach" her use Manupatra. Half an hour later as I passed by, I saw her search for the words "Globus Clothes Sale" on Manupatra. But yes, she was one hot girl. Dressed in the best pants that money could buy, wore undergarments which did not show off panty lines, walked like a ramp model, had perfectly manicured nails, pouty lips, long eye lashes – she was a head turner. One could locate her location in office from the faint lavender smell that emanated from her. But that doesn't take away the fact that she was dumb (and I hated her).
My lady in red's partner husband called me and said "Dude, Abhishek left last month, we need a junior associate. Are any of the new interns worth it?". "Yes", I replied. Gave my description of each of the interns. Recommended Geeta as the first choice, followed by Prakash and the pea brained beauty Mary was spat upon. "Perfect, Geeta it is then" came the reply.
A few days later, I saw an email in my inbox, making an offer to Mary. I was furious- what a cheap lusting,horny partner. He couldn't be making an offer to a girl because of her tits? Or was it her big daddy? Doesn't he care about running his business? She wasn't even fit to work as a mason. She was such an idiot that I would keep away from her in the fear I would contract some of her idiocy. As usual, I kept all of this to myself. Such is the hegemony of the bourgeoisie.
Post Script
A few hours later Mary replied and rejected our offer, and said she wanted to pursue "higher" studies in England. I didn't know idiocy has a higher studies market in England. (Maybe she was a specimen for medical researchers investigating into morbid idiocy). What a sigh of relief. Geeta was made the second offer and she joins us next month.

"Mary was spat upon"
hmm.... I don't know.
my feeling is, a partner howsoever pervert he may be. he needs the work done. maybe you were not the only one whose opinion was sought.
If mary can afford london, not that it is expensive, then mary probably has daddy and uncles who can help with new clients.
A firm needs money my friend.

Article | Marketing Science | January – February 2011
by Elie Ofek, Zsolt Katona and Miklos Sarvary
The Internet has increased the flexibility of retailers, allowing them to operate an online arm in addition to their physical stores. The online channel offers potential benefits in selling to customer segments that value the convenience of online shopping, but it also raises new challenges. These include the higher likelihood of costly product returns when customers' ability to "touch and feel" products is important in determining fit. We study competing retailers that can operate dual channels ("bricks and clicks") and examine how pricing strategies and physical store assistance levels change as a result of the additional Internet outlet. A central result we obtain is that when differentiation among competing retailers is not too high, having an online channel can actually increase investment in store assistance levels (e.g., greater shelf display, more-qualified sales staff, floor samples) and decrease profits. Consequently, when the decision to open an Internet channel is endogenized, there can exist an asymmetric equilibrium where only one retailer elects to operate an online arm but earns lower profits than its bricks-only rival. We also characterize equilibria where firms open an online channel, even though consumers only use it for research and learning purposes but buy in stores. A number of extensions are discussed, including retail settings where firms carry multiple product categories, shipping and handling costs, and the role of store assistance in impacting consumer perceived benefits.

Indonesia's Aceh revokes palm permit after legal challenge
- Tweet
- Share this
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's Aceh province has revoked a controversial permit issued to a palm oil firm accused of breaching a ban on forest clearing, a spokesman said on Friday, in a rare climbdown following a legal challenge by environmental groups.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has set a goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by saving Indonesia's dwindling tropical rainforests, the world's third-largest, a pledge that won the promise of $1 billion from Norway should he succeed.
But the effort is being hampered by soaring global demand for palm oil, used in everything from biscuits to biofuel. Indonesia is the world's top producer of the edible oil, whose exports earn the country $20 billion a year.
Last year, the governor of Aceh breached a two-year ban on issuing permits to log and convert forests by giving permission for PT Kallista Alam develop 1,605 hectares (4,000 acres) of swamp, which includes protected peatlands.
The Aceh governor's move prompted legal action from environmental groups and probes by the police and government bodies, which led to the permit being revoked this week.
A spokesman for the Aceh province said the permit had been revoked on Thursday, and notification sent to Kallista Alam.
"It is important that there is rule of law in business and investing in Aceh, which provides benefits to the community," Muhammad Zulfikar, director of the Aceh chapter of the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (WALHI), said in a statement.
Officials of PT Kallista Alam could not immediately be reached for comment.
Former Aceh governor Irwandi Yusuf issued the permit to open 1,605 hectares of land for palm oil in the Tripa peatland area in August last year.
In the last few years, Indonesia has seen rapid growth in production of palm oil, with output this year expected to be between 23 million and 25 million metric tons (27.6 million tons), with around 18 million metric tons exported.

About Small Chronicles with 0 comments by WhiteSponge on Dec 7th, 2013
If you haven't heard, you will be able to fight against other players in Small Chronicles' league matches! Since the previous update, there has been some progress on the game's league mode!
The first of which is the addition of the next league's information. As you might have noticed above, you can now see what's the next league that you can get promoted to and the requirement for it to happen.
Did I already mention that you will be fighting against other players for the stars in the sky? Well that means that there is a huge number of available stars! However, whoever wins a match gets the stars from the loser's pool!
If you are not careful, losing matches can result in being demoted to the previous league!
The field where your opponent and you will do battle is also randomly decided!
Sometimes you will get to fight in the deserts!
In the story mode, monsters have the tendency to attack your character straight on. They usually do not consider doing anything else unless they are ranged attackers/healers/tankers and etc.
In league mode though, you will be facing the characters that other players have spent time growing and making stronger. On top of that, these characters will be able to make use of their surroundings!
In this scenario, the opponent will move towards the blessing since it is nearer than where the player is at!
You can be sure that the trap will be triggered here!
Add that to the fact that character skills will come into play during league matches...
Hot! Explosion deals quite the damage to your character!
At the end of every match, you will be able to see the amount of stars that your opponent and you have lost (or gained).
However, if you have gained enough stars to reach the next league,
You will get promoted to the next league! Congrats!
In other words, league matches will be much more interesting than clearing stages in story mode! On the other hand, your characters won't be getting any experience in league matches. So be sure to return to the battlefield in Arystonia from time to time!
