Discuss the latest news and plans for The Last Airbender Movie by M Night Shyamalan

said 1 year, 3 months ago
With all the recent buzz about the trilogy still alive, and M. Night recently talking about TLA2, I'm definitely happy for M. Night….but it would be unfair & unjust if M. Night has to make TLA2 be a sequel to the version of the movie that's NOT the Original True Version he made for the fans. (I'm talking about the version he filmed in 2009 before Paramount/Viacom forced him to do the all the reshooting in early 2010 just so the movie could be shorter for sake of cheaper 3D conversion)
Maybe there's still a chance to convince Paramount/Viacom to let M. Night release his original epic version of the movie before he starts making TLA2….That way, he can make TLA2 follow his Original Version, and he won't have to do any strange rewritings, especially the whole Sokka/Suki dynamic that he most certainly filmed for the 1st movie.
Follow the instructions on this YouTube video (and help spread it around wherever you can) to help save the trilogy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEuE0iUVcIg&hd (contact information is at the COMMENTS section)
Make sure to have your letters call this new version the "Extended SPECIAL EDITION"…that way, Paramount/Viacom should be able to understand that you do NOT just want to see the theatrical version with extra footage in it. You want to see the Original Version that M. Night filmed back in 2009…..OR (for those who prefer the theatrical version) you could tell Paramount/Viacom to consider a "third version" included on the DVD/Blu-Ray that combines M. Night's original version with the theatrical one…For example, this "third version" could have the Original version of the movie, but with he fish-stabbing from the re-shoots, since that is probably the one change that's actually preferred, ALONG WITH the Sokka/Yue kiss redo)
By the way, if you've never heard of this "original version" of the movie before, I suggest you buy these 3 books. They're all based on M. Night's original screenplay, which was loved by the show's creators:
Novelization: http://www.amazon.com/Last-Airbender-Movie-Novelization-Avatar/dp/1442401745 (it's the cheapest of the 3, at less than $1) Graphic Novel: http://www.amazon.com/Last-Airbender-Dave-Roman/dp/0345518551 Trial By Fire (Zuko's POV): http://www.amazon.com/Trial-Fire-Last-Airbender-Movie/dp/1442402903/
Once you read those 3 books, go re-watch the YouTube video and you'll see that the Special Edition matches M. Night's original script.
Also, if you're an artist, and you have the resources, you should consider joining the following website and doing some artwork to promote the movement: http://last-airbender-movie.deviantart.com/journal/Create-Artwork-based-on-NOVELIZATION-GRAPHIC-NOVEL-320200109

In fact, the recent performance report shows that 66 percent of claims in fiscal 2012 were more than 125 days old. Thats up from 36 percent in 2010 and 60 percent in 2011.
And since Shinseki told Congress about the improvement he saw in 2009, average processing time has gone up from 161 days, to 166 days, to 188 days, to the most recent 262 days.
Even so, Rubens of the VA said the department is on track to meet Shinsekis goals by 2015, given the restructuring in place.
The department has seen a massive increase in claims from veterans in recent years, both younger ones from Iraq and Afghanistan and older ones who have recently been able to file claims on new conditions. Claims the past four years have topped 1 million a year.
While some decisions might be straightforward a soldier loses a limb in battle others are more complicated, requiring extensive medical reviews and research to tie a disability to the veterans time in the military.
Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington who chairs the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said the VAs tardiness and mistake-prone process is totally unacceptable.
We know that this is a complex problem and more troops returning home make this job even more difficult, she said in a statement to McClatchy. But Congress has provided VA with the funding and resources it has requested to tackle this problem.
The new performance report shows that the VA has lost ground on many of its other benefits-related goals:
The average time to complete an education claim jumped to 31 days from 24 days; the long-term goal is 10 days.
The average time to complete a burial claim jumped to 178 days from 113 days; the long-term goal is 21 days.
The average time in the appeals system for veterans who dispute their disability compensation decision jumped to 866 days from 747 days; the long-term goal is 400 days.
The annual performance report includes dozens of goals to spur improvement among the VAs health care system, benefits division and cemetery administration.
Of those, the VA highlighted 23 as key performance measures. The VA met its short-term goals for only 12 of those measures.

Calkins, one of your very rare excellent pieces. As much as I slam you, deservedly so, I also have to commend you when you actually do write something that is not simplistic, poorly thought out, and negative.
To all these IDIOTS who are posting your own simplistic, poorly thought out, and negative comments regarding the plights of all the "Rosas" in America- SHAME on you, you heartless and compassionless "people". If you have the GALL to call yourselves christians, then you will have a very rude, and permanent awakening someday. I guarantee it. Think on that for a long, long while.
"Rosa" was 4 or 5 when she was forced to come here...good grief, show that you have a soul!
It is not HER fault that her parents did something illegal. To think that way is sickening to me. She has grown up an American. She has worked hard and been a good citizen in her own right...she deserves to be accepted as such.
I smoked pot in the 1970's. I have had a three speeding tickets. I have operated a motor vehicle after drinking too much. Thankfully, I have matured in my older years. However, in the past I, as a parent, broke the law too...as the majority of you all have, at one time or another. Do OUR children deserve to be punished for that? Of course not. Anyone who thinks that way is NOT a good American, in my opinion. Instead, you are just mindless jerks with no conscience whatsoever. People who have no conscience are evil. Period.

Gay and lesbian issues and psychology reviewGLIP review aims to encourage research that challenges the stereotypes and assumptions of pathology that have often inhered to research on lesbians and gay men (amongst others). The aim of the review is thus to facilitate discussion over the direction of lesbian and gay psychology in Australia, and to provide a forum within which academics, practitioners and lay people may publish.
The Review is open to a broad range of material, and especially welcomes research, commentary and reviews that critically evaluate the status quo in regards to LGBTI issues. The Review also seeks papers that redress the imbalance that has thus far focused on the issues facing white lesbians and gay men, to the exclusion of other sexual and racial minority groups. The Review is a fully peer-reviewed publication. Utgiver: Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology (GLIP) Interest Group of the Australian Psychological Society ISBN/ISSN: 1833-4512 |

About Rare Earth Farm RARE EARTH FARM is located about thirty miles north of Milwaukee off Hwy. 43 in Belgium Wisconsin. The farm has been dedicated to growing food for individual families by subscription since 1990. "Community Supported Agriculture" as its called forms an active partnership between the farmer and consumer. Funding for the farms entire operating costs are acquired from membership fees submitted prior to the season's start. By participating in the program each member receives an equal "share" of the total season's harvest. OUR PHILOSOPHY in growing vegetables and raising livestock on our 20 acres is based upon using methods that are both rejuvenating to our soil, and beneficial in some way to the overall ecology of our farm. With our practices we use little or no chemical inputs for crop protection, and soil fertility. It's a fact that we eat this food too. We estimate some eighty percent of our total diet is the food we grow. Eating food grown naturally has always been extremely important to us. Although our farm is not "certified organic" most of the techniques and materials we use are in compliance with USDA's NOP (National Organic Program) Our primary emphasis is organic style farming and is augmented with methods also associated with biological farming. Soil testing, composting, cover crops, adding soil amendments, and integrated pest management (IPM) are all used in pursuit of a better and more natural approach to farming. With over 20 years of serving as stewards to our land, we sense a great relationship to our soils. We've made a personal commitment in our business to renew and strengthen the association between small scale farmers, the consumer, and our precious earth. Our direct farm source for your favorite vegetables compares to the fresh, quality, nutrient-rich deliciousness of the produce you would harvest from your own back yard garden. We're always at liberty to share more information about our farming practices. Simply send us an email with your questions. |

I think 75% of the problem is soft drinks. Growing up I remember we only had soft drinks when we went out to eat. Now most obese people drink them all day at work and a 12-pack every-other-day at home. I was the same way. Mountain Dew was my blood type. I never drank water or anything else except an occasional Coke (with Captain mixed in). I couldn't stand diet drinks. Last year I swore off the Mountain Dew (substituting coffee for my caffeine kick) and started drinking mostly water. I lost 30 lbs in 6 months and now I'm just about 20 lbs from my idea weight and I'm satisfied. I never changed my diet and I can still put away a large pizza in a single sitting.
Nobody likes what Mayor Bloomberg did on principle, but he's absolutely right about the culprit.
I agree that soft drinks are a huge problem. People don't realize how many calories and how much sugar they're taking in through just a drink. But, like someone else said, it's about self control too. People have to try and use moderation with things. That includes eating and drinking, but also time spent in front of a TV or video game. I'm no health nut by any stretch, but I do try to keep it under control

No "god" designed by man made me, nor determines the direction I take in life. Eat your bread; burn your incense; and keep your religious dictates within your sanctified walls. Public support of Planned Parenthood is no different than tax dollars provided for clean needles. It's a social issue, and not that of some made up system of belief.

MUMBAI: The authorities may have launched a helpline for citizens to voice their complaints against rude and errant auto and taxi drivers , but it is of little "help " when it comes to actually redressing their grievances .
After citizens lodge their complaints on the RTO's tollfree number of 1800-22-0110 , there is no proper system by which they can track the status of the cases . More often than not , the complaints have little effect on unscrupulous auto and taxi drivers , who get away by fleecing passengers or driving rickety vehicles . Apart from refusals to ply, rude behaviour by drivers , excess fare charged and tampered meters can be reported on the number .

Ronnie & Chelsea's Save the Date!
I love working with people who want to make good photos just as much as I do. It takes a lot of effort on the couple's part to be comfortable in front of someone they barely know who has a camera pointed at their faces. It is also a huge part of my responsibility to put people at ease. And I'll be frank with you, alcohol helps. It didn't matter that we started at 10am with a bottle of strawberry hill and stopped at a bar to have some gin and tonics in the middle of the shoot.

Sarah and Jeremy's Wedding at The Grove
As a photographer, I adore handmade weddings. When every detail is considered, oh, I notice, and I'll have a heyday behind the camera. Sarah and Jeremy had one of those weddings! And while I could make a 100 image blog post on all these special, little things; when I narrowed it down to my favorite images, it's the snaps that were caught unexpectedly that I felt I had to post. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't.
I'll probably lay in bed tonight contemplating posting more, but I'm going to stop now while I'm ahead!
Have a warm and cozy, romantic evening.

The title of this post may have mislead just a little bit, but I am referring back to a post I did here some time ago about questions that seem to haunt you. The old chestnuts that come out time and time again and I am on a mission to find the ten most common questions you have heard asked in your local pub quizzes, on tv game shows and in quiz books. Every quizzer must have certain questions that seem to haunt them over and over and if any of the readers of this blog can mention their's I would be interested on here. You don't have to give me ten just any questions you see time and time again!
Ill start it off...I heard this at 5 pub quizzes in the space of two months, its been on Eggheads, the Chase and Breakaway recently and in three quiz books I have been using.
What is the name of the scale used to measure the heat of chilli peppers? (or something similar)

At least once a year I hear:
"What is the only English word to end in MT"
"What year did Queen Victoria die?"
"Who wrote Winnie the Pooh?" or "Who wrote about the residents of Hunrded Acre Wood?"
"What (or where sometimes) is the deepest place on the Earth?"
And countless questions about Harry Potter, though now the films have ended they're dying off... only to be replaced by ones about Twilight at the moment... I'm guessing The Hunger Games will be next!
In fact, I host two quizzes a week, and occassionally I throw these old chestnuts in as I've a fairly young crowd, and have thought about doing a quiz of nothing but all the old chestnuts... so it'll be interesting to see what other questions people come up with.

Child Care Means Business
October 2010
Child Care Means Business
Sheila Fryar-Ashley, proprietor of Little Busy Bodies day care in Brooklyn.
Many poor women could offer day care in their homes, but don't have the training, business background, or money to get started. And without quality, affordable child care, struggling parents can be held back from jobs and educational opportunities—preventing families from escaping poverty.
Business Outreach Center Network
has successfully tackled both supply and demand in poor neighborhoods—creating 2,000 slots for kids, 84 new businesses, and 156 new jobs. Trust grants totaling $255,000 from 2005 through 2008 helped the Network offer financing and workshops on everything from early childhood development to bookkeeping, helping women find ways to start, improve, and expand home-based child care in East New York, Bed-Stuy, Corona, the Lower East Side, and other neighborhoods. In addition, 288 women who were in business got advice from the Network on hiring more staff and accommodating more kids.
"In order to develop thinking and motor skills, young minds must be stimulated," says Pat White, senior program officer for children and families at The Trust. "One of our grants brought in CUNY's Professional Development Institute to teach day care providers with little formal education how to integrate books, exercises, songs, and lesson plans appropriate for various age groups."
Sheila Fryar-Ashley, who runs Little Busy Bodies day care center in Brownsville, Brooklyn, learned how to expand her business through marketing and parent referrals, which soon had a full enrollment of twelve kids and now has a waiting list. She employs two assistants and has transformed the first floor of her house into a home away from home for infants and toddlers.

Is this lens cover 11 x 14 format?
Printable View
Is this lens cover 11 x 14 format?
Check the Cameraeccentric website there's 3 Bausch and Lomb catalogues there.
I don't think it'll cover more than 10x8, however there's WA Protars with much larger coverage. My 141mm f16 Ross Protar covers 10x8 and the longer FL's cover larger formats.
I thought I'd used that focal length before, and had. The combined cells make about a 7" lens. I used one on an 8x10 camera a couple times when I didn't have anything else wide enough. I came surprisingly close to covering 8x10, just nicking the corners. The one one I had looks to be a similar vintage to the one in the auction (mine was barrel mount).
The B&L catalog I have (probably the same as in Ian's link) indicates that the relatively common (for not very common lenses) 11 7/8" (18 7/8" and 23 1/4" cells) should cover 11x14 when stopped down. I have that lens, but nothing larger than 8x10 - except Cirkut Cameras.
I think for any useful movements you are going to need the far less common #20 combination with individual cells of 27 1/8" and 23 1/4" and a combined focal length of 14 5/16". I believe that is the combination Walker Evans used on 8x10 for his RA/FSA work, though his was the Zeiss version marked in cm or mm. It is mentioned in the "Walker Evans at Work" book, but I believe they have the combined length wrong (my book has failed to come back from loan, so I can't check).
B&L made longer cells up to 39 1/4". Ken Hough found some of the longer versions in the Chicago area I believe. Any of the Protars with cells longer than 23 1/4" are hard to find.
hi normmamiya
i don't know about that particular protar
but i have a itty bitty 14cm f14 that supposedly
has a very large ( 48cm ) image circle .. it isn't in a shutter
the convertable protars series vii do cover quite a bit when used as a convertable--the indivudual cells cover much more than the double protar set
the smallest protar vii that covers 11x14 is the 690/480 combo to 330 (I believe)...the combined cells JUST cover 11x14 and the other 2 cells used along have coverage to spare---like the 690 has super huge coverage....any other protar set smaller than that combo and the combo won't cover 11x14 but the individual cells may...check cameraeccentric for the zeiss protars or b and l protars...they have tables in them.

32nd Q: Pork Necks 3-Ways H&F 4H20 [w/ pr0n]
Here we go with three small equally sized pork necks without bone without speck at a total weight of 16.75 lbs:
http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...psc73ff43f.jpg I barely trimmed them, just some of the hard fat. Three pieces cried out for three different rubs, leading to the decision to try
Firing up a full chimney of lemon lump http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0fd96b94.jpg Overview on a cold snowy Saturday http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps84da3d74.jpg The reddish one is the Carolina, to the right the Lemon Pepper, and the one at the top left the Schweinsbratl http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0875e467.jpg Less than 3 hours later hitting IT 165°F ready for foiling in apple juice http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...psad5c3923.jpg The whole cook was over after 4 hours and 20 minutes, when the probed one hit IT 203°F, and off they went into the oven @ 200°F resting for several hours. And this is the outcome after re-crisping unfoiled at max. grill: Carolina http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps52f0e70c.jpg Schweinsbratl http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps22ca5c9e.jpg Lemon Pepper http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...psebef4739.jpg It all got pulled http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5f0085f2.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...psb9aa2ad7.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps39753be1.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1301a776.jpg Although tasted pure, the main dish was pulled pork sandwiches with self-made pita bread, yogurt-based coleslaw and our 'Essence of Q' sauce http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...psf0bd9e30.jpg http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64e68b02.jpg And the winning lineup was:
Nevertheless, the decision was clear, nothing could beat the lemon pepper, it's just such a clean and simply amazing flavor profile. The Austrian Schweinsbratl was nice too, a little on the salty side, but still better than I had imagined. The Carolina featuring cumin was *totally* disappointing, I really had high expectations in that recipe, but the oriental taste of cumin just didn't fit, and in addition it was not salty enough. The more I try, the more I think it's better to keep it simple, and I am almost definitely sure that nothing else following can beat a simple S&P, although I am very temped to try PitmasterT's Butt Glitter next (hopefully I'll be able to get the missing ingredients, which are mustard powder and celery seeds). So this will be a porky week with lots of PP sandwiches, but now I am off for a curd casserole with sour cherries for lunch. :hungry: |
You do great work bro
"self made pita bread"???
It looks great, care to share recipe and process. Ed |
Will have to ask the wife, that's her thing. :wink:
By any chance, does your lemon pepper have MSG in it?
Not that I am a hater, but a lot of people respond well to it. |
Since nothing you compare it to ever comes close to the lemon pepper rub, I might have to try it soon. Have you ever used it on ribs?
Hawg Father, it's a home made lemon pepper rub: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=147758 |
Was that just lemon pepper or a bub based on lemon pepper?
I looked up the ingredients for lemon pepper and it does not list MSG but it does have salt as the first ingredient. All three of your butts look great. I do put cumin in my rub but very sparingly because it is very pungent. |
The pork looks great! It looks awful cold there, the view from your deck is great. :thumb:
Cumin, or comino, as it is called in Texas, TexMex or Mexican cooking, it a very powerful spice. Use it right, and it adds a distinct, but subtle and pleasing flavor to food. Use too much, and it will easily ruin an otherwise good cook. I rarely use comino in a rub -- unless I am doing a TexMex or Mexican dish. It wouldn't occur to me to use comino in Carolina BBQ, but I live in Texas.
You really can't go by a recipe when comino is involved. You really have to add small amounts at a time, until you have just the right amount. Add, taste, add, taste, and stop when it is right. The line between just enough and too much is pretty thin. If you do add too much comino, you can sometimes save your food with some nutmeg. Nutmeg can balance out too much comino, within reason. I've used it to save a pot of chile that I overloaded with comino. You need to taste your rubs before you put them on the meat. Wet your little finger, dip it in the rub, and taste it. If you taste something offensive, fix it before you use it. CD |
Wow looks great! Hmm pork necks. gonna have to try that.

Pima County opens Willie Blake Park/KERP Bike Path
Thursday, October 25th, 2012Today, Pima County officially opened the Willie Blake Park/KERP Bike Path and Tucson Diversion Channel Link to Aviation Pathway. Kino Environmental Restoration Project (KERP) is adjacent to the great recreational facilities at Sam Lena Park and the Mulcahy YMCA at Kino Community Center.
"The path is great, we see a lot of seniors riding on the path, walking on the path," says Willie Blake, neighborhood activist for whom the park is named. "You used to see snakes, pigs, all kinds of wild animals in here, stolen and stripped cars, and the County has turned it into something nice."
"This was a tumbleweed farm," says chair of the Pima County Board of Supervisors Ramón Valadez about the area where the park and new bike path is located. After the County built the park and hillside walkway in 2010, "the neighborhood asked us how they could use The Loop, and we said that we'd take a look at that," continues Valadez, who represents District 2. "And that's why we're here today."
The path is shorter than one mile, but it's an important community connection. Nancy Cole, Project Manager, explains, "The KERP path connects to the YMCA and Kino Sports Complex, and after another mile you cross Country Club, leading to a path along the Diversion Channel to 36th and Palo Verde, the gateway to Aviation Pathway." This short path gives the neighborhood a multi-use path connection directly to downtown Tucson.
The path also provides excellent neighborhood connections to Santa Cruz River and Julian Wash sections of The Loop. In addition, path users can take neighborhood streets to Duval Vista, and cross Kino Parkway at a traffic signal onto bike lanes and sidewalks of the UA Bio Park at The Bridges. This new development will include lab and office space, a technology high school, and a hotel and conference center. The Bridges is now home to COSTCO and Walmart.
The Pima County Department of Transportation used general fund dollars to build new pathways. As part of this project, the Kino Sports Complex funded resurfacing of KERP paths.
Supervisor Valadez joined several others on a brief bike ride through KERP and along the Diversion Channel. He says, "This is a resource for the entire community, but it's important for the neighbors to know that it's their resource, too."

An important side-cause for Moneymaker Racing by way of Elizabeth who's the webmaster, so what she wants, well, you know . . .
Animal Rescue is my number one cause - millions of cats and dogs are euthanized every year just because shelters run out of room to house them until their forever family comes along.
Please spay or neuter your pets to save the innocent life of another pet - overpopulation is literally killing dogs and cats every day.
And if you are looking to add to your family, discuss the responsbilities before you go and choose carefully as this is a very long term commitment. Go to a shelter! Looking for a specific breed? Many purebreed animals end up in shelters every day. There are also breed specific rescues. Both our Neko and Lucy came from rescues, and Neko is a purebred German Shepherd.

I have to agree somewhat with what factotam has posted:
I have looked at the video a number of times from it's first airing on T. V. until now. My opinion remains the same. I'm not being partial of either side (for the victim nor the perpetrator). My heart goes out to the families of all three people involved. I feel sorry for the brother/friend who got caught up in a situation for which he actively had no part in, with the exception of walking off and not rendering aid to an injured man. But here is my opinion, the perpetrator did seem to go out of his way to bump the man talking on the phone, for that he's wrong and should be punished for "committing the crime that followed".
However, all of the blame does not fall on the perpetrator because the man on the phone had just about turned the corner and would have been out of harm's way if he had just continued walking to his destination. Instead, for whatever reason, he chose to place himself in danger by turning around walking back to the person that had just intentionally bumped him. The man on the phone placed himself in harm's way:
1. By perusing a person that seemed to want to cause trouble.
2. Approaching two people alone on the street at night when one demonstrated irrational behavior.
3. Not backing off when the brother/friend of the perpetrator tried to place himself between the two people directly involved in the situation in an attempt to prevent a fight from breaking out.
That being said, I have just one more comment to make and it's to the people that seem to be trying to make out like the person on the phone is just a sad little victim in the whole situation. I've noticed that a lot of you are commenting on the perpetrator's look. If he looks as bad/threating as some of you have suggested, then his look along should have been enough to make a sober/intelligent man keep walking. Thus, what I've gleaned from viewing the vide/and posted comments on this story is that the man on the phone caused some of his own problems by being too drunk/or stupid to know when to walk away from a bad situation, and that's his fault !

President Obama's speech in Newtown, Conn., at a memorial for the 26 students and faculty members killed Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, marks his fourth speech after a mass shooting during his first presidential term.
How he has addressed the responses to such acts of violence has varied. Here are key excerpts from Sunday's speech and his earlier appearances.
Newtown, Conn.
Dec. 16, 2012
"This is our first task, caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged. And by that measure, can we truly say, as a nation, that we're meeting our obligations? Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children, all of them, safe from harm? Can we claim, as a nation, that we're altogether there — letting them know that they're loved and teaching them to love in return? Can we say that we're truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?

It most certainly is the problem.
But a bigger problem is legislators who refuse to do anything about it and claim inability to fight the system.
Eg: "Every time I drive by or stop at a gas station, prices are up another 10 to 15 cents per gallon. People are only buying what they can afford. How can we ask them for more? Washington motorists already pay the second highest state gas tax in the nation at 37.5 cents a gallon. Another dime a gallon would push our state to the highest gas tax in the United States."
Ms Angel rails against in increase in the tax to support our roads and infrastructure and turns a blind eye to "prices are up another 10 to 15 cents per gallon" that enrich the oil companies which contribute very little to that same infrastructure.
She is the problem because she is not part of a solution.
Don't blame Wall Street -- blame her.

Corporate governance: a Combined Code time-line. By Rob Lewis.
Taking the longest possible view, the issue of corporate governance has been around for as long as there has been a separation between the ownership and the control of commercial concerns. Although they might have referred to it in other terms, Britons have probably been talking about it since the South Sea Bubble and before.
As we know it today, the question of corporate governance arose after the Second World War.

At Kent State University, the phrase "four more years†has nothing to do with politics. It refers to the time frame for a physical transformation of the university's Kent Campus that will be historic in size, scope and significance. That time frame became official today (Sept. 12) when the university's Board of Trustees authorized the university to move forward with four, major capital projects on the Kent Campus totaling nearly $150 million.
Kent State's investment in university-wide improvements, which is possible in part because of the university's issuance of $170 million in general receipts bonds, is motivated by far more than aesthetics. The projects approved today are part of a larger building and renovation initiative called "Foundations of Excellence: Building the Future.â€
"Without exception, every improvement we make will contribute to the creation of a 21st-century learning environment that supports Kent State's top priorities: academic excellence and ensuring the success of all students in all majors on all of our campuses,†said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton.
The projects approved today are:
Science Facilities Fit for the 21st-Century. The most heavily used science buildings on the Kent Campus (Cunningham, Smith and Williams halls) will undergo major renovations. A versatile, new multidisciplinary research addition in the science mall area will address research needs in all science disciplines. The target cost for the renovations and addition from bond funds is $56 million, plus an additional $16 million in state capital funding.
Today's Architects to Design New Building for Tomorrow's Architects. Kent State's nationally respected College of Architecture and Environmental Design, which offers Northeast Ohio's only architecture degree program, has its studios, classrooms and offices scattered across campus. That will no longer be the case when the college gets a new, high-profile home on the Esplanade near the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center that will open next June.
A design competition, to be overseen by a jury of university leaders and leading architects, will be held to select the firm that will design a distinctive landmark and learning facility. The competition will be a rare opportunity to tackle a "by architects for architects†project. The target cost for the building is $37 million, to come from the university's issuance of $170 million in general receipts bonds.
Framing the Future of Art Programs. The university will create an Art complex centered on the existing Art Annex and Art Building. When completed, the nationally respected art program's classrooms, studios and offices will no longer be scattered across six buildings on the Kent Campus. The project will involve the complete rehabilitation, reconstruction or replacement of the existing building envelopes to improve energy efficiency and give the complex a new look. The target cost for the project is $22 million, to come from the university's issuance of $170 million in general receipts bonds.
A New High-Tech Home for High-Tech Programs. A new building will be constructed on the Kent Campus science mall to house the university's College of Applied Engineering, Sustainability and Technology. The building, which will replace the college's home in aging Van Deusen Hall, will include shelled space to permit quick expansion. The new building will be designed with a focus on sustainability, with the goal of achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold or platinum status from the U.S. Green Building Council.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity to reshape our campus and community for generations,†said Board Chair Jacqueline Woods. "These new buildings, combined with several additions, expansions and other improvements, represent a solid financial investment that is both necessary to move us forward as a world-class university and important to meet the demands of our students, staff and faculty. I applaud the Board for taking steps to support this project and we are excited to see each phase that's still to come.â€
The capital projects approved today top a list of high-priority projects that was compiled with input from key Kent State stakeholders, including deans, faculty, staff members and students, as well from a board-administration Joint Projects Oversight Committee. In addition to the new buildings approved today, the university will undertake major, university-wide renovations of classrooms and laboratories; increase energy efficiency; increase accessibility; add a new, 41,140 square-foot Science and Nursing Building at Kent State University at Stark; and will extend the Esplanade walkway on the Kent Campus into downtown Kent.
With campus improvements mirroring the renaissance of downtown Kent, the sights and sounds of construction have become as common to the Kent State community as the university's ubiquitous black squirrels. Students are gaining a competitive edge in the cutting-edge Science and Health Building at Kent State University at Ashtabula; the University Library has been modernized to meet 21st-century research and study needs; Northeast Ohio is seeing a range of Broadway-caliber entertainment at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State at Tuscarawas and the Roe Green Center; a scenic Student Green on the Kent Campus is a few weeks from completion; and today's Board meeting followed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Kent State University Regional Academic Center in Twinsburg, which has greatly expanded access to higher education, training and retraining for residents of four Northeast Ohio counties.
"To ensure the success of our students now and for decades to come, we have made the bold decision to make Kent State everything a 21st-century university should be,†Lefton said. "When our plans are fully realized, Kent State will have played a key role in a public-private investment in the region's future totaling nearly $700 million; helped create nearly 1,800 jobs; helped make the city of Kent one of the nation's most vibrant and visited college towns; and helped improve the quality of life in Northeast Ohio.â€

Research papers contain components that not every literary work contains. In a research paper you will find the standard intro, thesis, body, conclusion, and citations/references as you would in most papers, but you may also need to include an abstract and annotated bibliography. Additionally, you may be asked to write a literature review.
If you are unsure of what is required for your assignment then be sure to ask your professor. Your research paper may not contain any of these components or it may need to include some or all of them.
Sometimes you may be asked to write a literature review as part of your research paper and other times the assignment may be to write a literature review. Either way the following links will be useful in understanding what a literature review is and how to go about writing one.
There are several types of annotated bibliographies, so it is important to understand which type of annotated bibliography you are expected to write before you can begin doing so. For more information on what an annotated bibliography is, types of annotated bibliographies, and how to write one, please view the links below.
Abstracts are commonly included in research assignments, so make sure to find out from your professor if your assignment requires one. Please view the links below to find out what an abstract is and how to write one.
Writing a paper using ideas and knowledge from outside sources (anything that is not your own and that is not common knowledge) can lead to plagiarism if not documented properly or paraphrased appropriately. For more information on what plagiarism is, how to document sources, and how to properly paraphrase, please view the links below.
Research writing should include paraphrased and summarized information, where the writer incorporates the primary concepts within third-party sources using his or her own words. For more information, please reference the PDF file below, which provides more descriptive details on how to properly paraphrase cited information.

Sitting here at the airport and had a few moments, so I figured I'd drop in some thoughts on the Wake Forest game.
I'm sure most of you want me to continue picking against the `Canes. My predictions have been wrong the last few weeks. UM probably picked up its biggest victory in the Randy Shannon era today at Dolphin Stadium. A 16-10 victory against a solid Wake Forest team is a sign of improvement.

That is true, but his big thing is his crossing and his pass and move ethos. For me he'd be taking Maxi's place - not particularly fast, not particularly tricky, but a solid player. Only we'd also have the benefits of his crossing.I know it's never going to happen - plainly, he isn't a left midfielder. I'm just trying to think of ways to maximise his best asset.
you can't edit something you posted incorrectly, and continue with the phrase "seriously guys" 1 meter = 3.2808399 feet3.2808399 x 1.79 = 5.87270342
Atleast we agree he is not 5'5.
Emiliano Insua - 5 ft 10 1/2 inAshley Cole - 5 ft 9 1⁄2 inGaël Clichy - 5 ft 9 1⁄2 inPatrice Evra - 5 ft 8 inYeah, he's tiny.
Yes that's what I meant with "seriously, guys" Meanwhile, a few pages earlier in this very same thread:Peace & love my friends, peace & love.
All the best to you and yours too.
Comolli seemed to hint at Downing being our last purchase. Maybe Insua will be an option on the left with Johnson and Robinson.
I don't see any future for Insua at Liverpool. I have never been convinced by him whatsoever.
How did the kid play?
Would sacrifice Fordy in a sacred Mayan ritual to have him as the next Liverpool manager
If you can't trust Kenny, you need to find another club, seriously.
As cover maybe, but I'd be concerned going into the season with him anywhere near being first choice. He gets forward well enough but he switches off in defence and his positional awareness is average. Time to improve mind
Two crosses that resulted in goals - one bounced off a couple defenders and the other was a straight assist.Sooooo chuffed for the lad
He gets forward well enough but he switches off in defence and his positional awareness is average.
thing is though, he has a bit more experience, we are not the same team as we was when we has to rely on him and clark has a great record of improving the defence. i would give him a good chance to be honest.
Aren't pretty much all young players guilty of lacking concentration and positional awareness, isn't it something that generally improves with age?
Some of this is down to semantics. I think that postional awareness is a gift, and dificult to teach, and that concentration should not be influenced by age.
I would mate, nothing to lose, though for me it has to be as understudy to a quality LB. He probably played too much last time. I think we've got plenty of options there but no real experienced specialist. Aurelio is a broken shell
He was solid. Anyone notice he has bulked up a wee bit more than he was a year ago?He seems to also have improved on his pace and general defending.
Insua was labelled 'bad defensively' by the age of 20. And it was a joke to be honest.
You're perfectly entitled to believe that, but I'm afraid it's execrable bollocks and entirely wrong.
This idea that he has terrible positional sense has been repeated so many times people think it's gospel. They also act like it can't be coached out of him. Eh?He, as a 20/21 year old, got caught out of position a few times in a season where he played far too many games in a very unsettled defence and suddenly people label him as terrible. He was the ultimate scapegoat. Very promising player and I'm delighted to see him back.
2 crosses 2 assists.1 cross caused confusion between defenders and Ngoals slotted at far post1 cross was latched on to by a LFC player who scored may of been Ngoals.

The use of pottery began as early as in 7000 B.C. The term 'pottery' refers to the activity or skill of making clay objects by hand, as well as the clay objects that are made as a result of this activity. Some examples of pottery include pottery vases, dishes and vessels used in cooking and for storing food.
During the ancient times, pottery was made using the potter's wheel, a machine with a horizontal spinning disc on which clay is shaped into various clay objects, though it's origins are still unknown. It was used in Egypt, Persia, and Babylonia in Mesopotamia, and excavations in Egyptian tombs have shown that pottery was made using very advanced methods as early as 3000 BC. The pottery made during this time in ancient Egypt were both for use and of decorative purposes, of which some examples included bottles, jars, and jugs used for carrying and storing water. The Babylonians on the other hand, made clay bricks and tiles with glossy layers of glaze, often decorated in several colours. The Persians further extended this art and made vases and beautifully designed tiles used to decorate the palaces.
The ancient Greeks and Romans too displayed their unique skills at pottery making. The early Greeks were able to make clay objects such as vases, urns and vessels using an interesting mix of contrasting colours. For instance, a red-on-black ware was decorated first by outlining the decoration on the red clay body. Then the background was filled in with a thin glaze of black, leaving the figures in red. They also made little terracotta figures, which were used as ornaments or as toys for children. Pictures of their gods and heroes were sometimes portrayed on these clay objects such as vases. For the ancient Romans, some examples of their pottery included a red earthenware known as Samian ware and a black pottery known as Etruscan ware.
We have heard of China, one of the largest countries in the world with a population of over 1 billion, but do you know that the word 'china' also refers to a type of pottery, Chinese porcelain to be more specific, of which its origins can be traced to the time of the Shang dynasty (1766-1122 BC)? This was one considered to be one of the finest pottery to be ever made during the time of the ancient civilisations. Shang potters used white clay instead of the normal coarse gray clay to make their pottery. This was done with the help of the potter's wheel. After a pottery was made, it was covered with a glossy layer of glaze. The art of making fine Chinese porcelain was improved upon by later dynasties in China and became so popular that merchants from other countries sailed to China to trade for it's "china".
Today, there is a decline in the importance of pottery for useful purposes. We seldom see people today using pottery jugs or containers to carry food or water. Instead, containers made of metal or plastic are used, due to the fact that they are more durable as compared to pottery, which are fragile and break easily. However, people are still making pottery for ornamental purposes, as the intricate designs of the pottery and the fine skills displayed by the potter in it's making serve to be eye-catching a subject of admiration. Chinese porcelain is still as popular as in the past, and a porcelain vase dating back to the Ming dynasty for example, is highly sought after by pottery lovers who would pay millions just to obtain a piece of the fine art that is regarded as one of the greatest cultural achievements during the history of China.
Pottery art includes 'Dionysus and the Maenads' by the Amasis Painter, about 530 BC.
The Chinese porcelain flask of the Ming Dynasty (14th century) is decorated with a dragon and wave scrolls in underglaze blue. It measures 36.8 centimeters in height
The Dipylon amphora from the geometric period, now in the National Museum of Athens, shows one of the two principal shapes for Greek vessel pottery.
Ancient dances were depicted on a Greek vase painting from the 5th century BC.s

Elizabeth Olsen has been cast as Scarlet Witch in "Avengers: Age of Ultron." Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the movie, confirmed the rumors in a Wall Street Journal article published on Oct. 2, 2013.
Jackson said about the production schedule for the movie: "I don't think we begin shooting before March of next year. I know we're shooting in London, that James Spader is Ultron and going to be the bad guy, and that we added Ms. [Elizabeth] Olsen [who will play the Scarlet Witch], but I don't know what she's doing, if she's on the inside or the outside. I haven't seen a script."
Olsen has starred in mostly independent movies, but her roles in the big-budget studio movies "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Godzilla" could take her career to the next level.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who co-stars with Olsen in the 2014 "Godzilla" movie) has told the media that he is in talks to play Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch's brother, in "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
Olsen, 24, is the younger sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of "Full House" fame.
On July 20, 2013, Marvel Studios revealed at Comic-Con International in San Diego that the second "Avengers" movie is called "Avengers: Age of Ultron." The cast members of the original "Avengers" movie are expected to return, including Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Chris Evans as Captain America. And it's highly likely that a superhero from the Marvel universe will be added to "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
On Aug. 29, 2013, Marvel Studios announced that James Spader is playing the villain Ultron. Fans' reactions to the news were mostly positive.
"The Avengers" (which is available on demand, DVD, Blu-ray and digital download) was the highest-grossing movie of 2012. The movie sold $623 million in tickets in the U.S. and Canada and a total of $1.5 billion in tickets worldwide.
Joss Whedon, who directed and wrote the first "Avengers" movie, is back on board as director/writer for "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which is set for a U.S./Canadian release date on May 1, 2015. (The movie's release dates in other countries may vary.) Details about the "Ultron" plot are being kept a secret, but Whedon commented to Entertainment Weekly (before the announcement was made about Spader getting the Ultron role) about how he envisions the Ultron character: "I knew right away what I wanted to do with him. He's always trying to destroy the Avengers, goddamn it, he's got a bee in his bonnet. He's not a happy guy, which means he's an interesting guy. He's got pain.
"And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff. So we'll take away some of those powers because at some point everybody becomes magic, and I already have someone [a new character, Scarlet Witch] who's a witch ... As a character I love [Ultron], because he's so pissed off."
Given the way that Whedon crafts larger-than-life, non-human characters (such as The Hulk) in his movies, Spader will likely have to do motion-capture work, rather than donning a clunky robot costume.

Through UC Exchange, NextPlane simplifies both the process of enabling federation through a directory driven community approach, and extends federation services to include a broad range of communications modes, including presence, IM, multi-user chat, file transfer, voice and video, and social media – all regardless of a customers' underlying UC platform.
In addition, as UC Exchange is fully cloud based, there are no on-premise components for UC Exchange members to purchase, deploy and manage - hence reducing costs and also reducing the time taken to enable collaboration with partners.
Furthermore, NextPlane addresses organizational security concerns by providing a crucial missing link in managing federated relationships. This is achieved by providing organizations with the ability to control federation through 'user', 'domain' and 'communication mode' based policies.
Finally, in addition to enabling external federation with business partners, NextPlane also solves complex federation challenges associated with internal or 'Intra-domain' federation where two or more UC platforms need to federate whilst sharing the same internal domain name.
