Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
You won't find a snowshoe system that is easier to use. There are no binding straps to adjust with cold fingers – just put on your Trailblazer Boots, step into the snowshoes and you're ready to go. Our product testers sought out the roughest terrain and came away impressed with how the step-in binding held securely – even when subjected to rocks, logs and steep slopes. A recessed axis on the boot clips into spring-loaded steel pivots on the snowshoe – when you hear the "click", it means the boot is securely attached. To remove, simply push one of the pivots out with your pole and the boot will release. Snowshoes have rugged stainless-steel crampons for excellent traction on ice and snow. Durable Pbex deck material will stand up to biting cold, pointy rocks and sticks poking up through the snow. Boots feature 200-gram PrimaLoft® polyester insulation for warmth and a grippy Vibram® rubber sole. Our waterproof TEK2.5® system keeps moisture out, and a mesh lining wicks away sweat – so your feet stay dry and comfortable, even during strenuous snowshoeing. These boots are also an excellent choice for everyday wear. 25" model approx. 2 lb. 12 oz. per pair. Imported. Includes one pair of snowshoes and one pair of boots.

Waterproof, snow-proof warmth from Ewe Style
The UK has seen its first snow of the season, and while it's all very pretty and exciting - some of us are left worrying about how we're going to get from A to B without subjecting our poor feet to the extreme cold and wetness that it a necessary evil of the wonderful white stuff. Wellies are one easy answer to keeping dry, but most are made from relatively thin rubber - so they're not always the cosy option we're after at this time of year. Ugg boots, of course, may be snuggly, but they don't stand a chance in damp conditions...
One answer we're currently liking comes from Ewe Boots, whose colourful wellington style boots are lined with thick-pile merino for a luxurious and comfy fit. Each pair has its own removable lining that not only keeps your feet super warm, but has great breathable properties too, so the air can circulate in a healthy way. In fact, they're best worn over bare feet, just like any fleece footwear. They come in a variety of lovely colours, but our fave has got to be the French grey shown in the middle - available direct from Ewe or on Amazon.
We think they look good enough to eat - but that brings us to the next important point: for those of us with a concern for the ethics of animal-derived products, there's even the guarantee that the merino sheep are only farmed for their luxury wool and are not killed for meat - so these are truly feel-good boots on a number of levels.

I wish more people took the time to read the Roe v. Wade case. It was a bad decision and should be reversed, but not for the reasons commonly claimed. The decision violated the 10th Amendment and illegally constructed a(n) (implied Constitutional) right to privacy. It has to be one of the strangest decisions in the Court's history.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. — Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground ... I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God ot Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. — To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. — I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conver-sation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. — Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. — Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. — Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
REV. 4:8. Psa. 22:3. ‑Exo. 3:5,6. ‑Isa. 40:25. -Isa. 43:3,11. I Pet. 1:15,16. ‑I Cor. 6:19. ‑II Cor. 6:16. -Amos 3:3.
They constrained him, saying, Abide with us.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. — Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? — I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go.
Let my beloved come into his garden. and eat his pleasant fruits. — I am come into my garden. — I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain.
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. — I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. — Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. — The world seeth me no more; but, ye see me.

Shoosmiths chief exec steps down in wake of trainee deferral row
Readers' comments (23)
I think the biggest surprise about this is if it actually comes as a surprise to anyone! I wonder how Tom and George feel now, it is particularly impressive to provoke the resignation of your Chief Exec before even starting, a fine addition to the CV!
I did enjoy:
"He felt the time was right to hand his leadership role to someone new to shape the next chapter in our history. He's leaving us amicably and we wish him all the very best."
Though would have preferred "he made a calamitous decision highlighted by an equally disastrous attempt at cheap publicity and we needed a scapegoat".
Oh Shoosmiths. I'm embarrassed by this and don't even work for you!
The man had to go as soon as he blurted out this nugget:
"I don't regret not offering any compensation to our trainees because we spent lots of time making the decision," Stothard says bullishly. "The only way I would have regretted it was if we had been careless in our decision-making."
A hopeless decision is a hopeless decision, regardless of whether it took a micro-second or a month to muster.
Good luck to Claire Rowe who will have to undertake a monumental charm offensive to salvage their reputation.
Next time people like Stothard and the partners of the firm who were apart of the decision should put their morals before their greedy fat paycheck.
poosmith rep had severely been damaged. absolute disgrace..this negative vibe would ring alarm bells to other firms who think they can treat trainees like rubbish.
Good grief! This makes me glad that there are still Firms (like Field Grieb for example) capable of avoiding such elephant traps. Lord only knows a good dose of Kentish commonsense is at a premium at the moment.
The training is very good at shoosmiths, yes they made the wrong choice and PS paid for it.. greed is why we in this situation,
I always thought Paul was a nice chap, I hope none of this nonsense contributed to his decision to go, he did double the turnover after all, I suppose mass redundancies and god only know how awful their figures will be was the driving decision. Good luck Claire, lovely lady and I am sure will do a great job, Shoosmiths certainly need it.
I don't expect the change at the top to have an impact on the firm's policies. Trainees would be well advised to take this opportunity to reconsider shoosmiths altogether.
The majority of Scottish firms are deferring trainees without any sort of compensation
Perhaps a GC's perspective would be helpful to the new management regime. The firm's profound lack of judgment as to how it handled its trainees has disqualified Shoosmiths from handling any work for me for at least the next few years, regardless of whom is now sitting in the CEO's chair. If this is the "business approach" that is taken towards any firm's most important asset - its people - I have no confidence that the firm will be to properly advise me on strategic issues. Shoosmiths might also take into account that we have a huge variety of choice as to whom we use, and most GCs will choose to deal with firms that maintain at least some balance of principles with their profits. Any firm that does not understand the long-term consequences of these types of short-sighted decisions - and in particular the negative impact upon the quality of any future trainees the firm eventually stoops so low as to employ affect, whom will presumably move on to be the lawyers actually handling client work and making important decisions - is on the road to oblivion.
A PR own goal definately but why have the marketing and PR people got off so lightly? They should have briefed the senior team on an immediate crisis strategy and tried to help stem further damage to the brand. it seems like they just sat back and let it happen. Obviously a a third class marketing and PR team without any ideas. The CEO isn't the only one who should be going......
At last, common sense prevails. The way that the trainees at Shoosmiths have been treated is nothing short of appalling and is something I've not seen in many years in law.
The company's strapline of 'creative thinking' and the 'right answers at the right time' is painfully ironic. "I don't regret not offering any compensation to our trainees because we spent lots of time making the decision." If making the wrong decision takes plenty of time at Shoosmiths, that doesn't bode well for the rest of the company's senior commercial decision making. If it was the right decision, then I'd guess you'd still be in the role, wouldn't you Paul?
"The only way I would have regretted it was if we had been careless in our decision-making." You mean like inciting the general legal profession, bringing Shoosmiths name into disrepute, humiliating two future trainees before they even start working for the firm, whilst potentially harming the relationship with all the rest of the trainees. No carelessness there then.
Claire Rowe needs to show some strong leadership and make a statement that will try to un-tarnish Shoosmith's reputation as far as possible - by doing at least 1 of 3 things.
1 – Revisit the policy not to offer trainees any form of compensation. (Rowe was a former trainee herself back in 1984)
2 – Cancel the deferrals and instead take the trainees on with their original start dates.
3 – Do nothing – the easy option, sending out a message that the company made a mistake and has done nothing to rectify this error showing weak leadership and out of touch policies.
PS isnt even a being made a scapegoat - he stands by the firm's crass decision not to compensate the trainees...and notice the "we" in the decision-making process...Shoosmiths Shoddysmiths more like, shame on you. I, along with many others now,wouldn't touch you with a barge pole. A firm that makes such bad judgements from a personal, professional and public relations standpoint cannot be counted on to offer any kind of advice to anyone. Or perhaps only to ask them what they would do, and do the opposite.
This si laughable, STRAIGHT FROM SHOOSMITHS WEBSITE:
Our culture
Nothing is more important to us than our Values. They guide how we work together, and how we provide our clients with the very best service. They are at the heart of our working culture and at the root of our success.
We are nothing without our people. The way we think about our work, our colleagues and our clients defines what makes us different and better.
What makes our culture so successful? The lack of barriers between departments, a real lack of hierarchy, zero tolerance for arrogance and pomposity, clear thinking and mutual support.
All our people are supported by a senior management team who really do live and enforce these values, and who ensure that our special energy is applied in the right areas.
LIP SERVICE, actions speak so much louder than words.
This is all nonsense. It's lazy journalism to link PS's departure with the recent story about deferrals. Just because one follows the other doesn't imply a causal link. I hope it's not lawyers making these points, because it really is dim. CEOs move on all the time, especially after a long period of success. Good luck to PS, who is a thoroughly decent man who has brought great things to Shoosmiths. Stop smearing a decent bloke with these oh-so-easy oh-so-thoughtless comments.
The standard of grammar and punctuation in this, and other threads, is absolutely shocking. As a former lawyer in private practice, now in industry, and a sometime buyer of legal services from the profession, it is hard not to conclude that standards of literacy in the profession are slipping, and slipping fast.
What a thoroughly relevant comment above; thank you for that erudite addition. Would you care to make another statement, possibly in relation to the "dumbing" down of A Levels/ degrees nowadays?
Good luck to the CEO, I think she has her work cut out for her. Scapegoat or not, having a new CEO should allow the firm to rebrand itself; paramount to this is offering trainees compensation. Indeed this might look like the firm is cowering to external pressure, but putting up their hands and admitting an error will win alot more support than sticking to their guns.
"The standard of grammar and punctuation in this, and other threads, is absolutely shocking" - this isnt a English exam!! keep your grammar spotting to yourself!
Anonymous at 4.56pm: surely the quality of grammar in a conversational thread of comments on this site is no indication as to the general standards in the legal profession? I agree that grammar is important but let's not get anal over nothing.
Or should that be slipping quickly? ... Just a thought.
I agree that this has been a PR disaster but I can't help thinking that the Lawyer has blown this all out of proportion in a very tabloid way.
Let's not forget that these students had all their fees and maintenance paid and still have jobs. There are much worse things happening in the economy and yet true to form, greedy lawyers/law students feel hard done by because they haven't been given a couple of grand to take a long vacation.
Spare a thought for the families who have to survive on redundancy pay outs to keep a roof over their heads!
If people outside the law read these articles, what must they think of us all...
Just in relation to an earlier posting about PR advice. You can give the best advice in the world but if management ignores it or thinks they know best and want to do it their way then good luck to you. At that point you wait until the cause of the problem has been removed and then get on with the job of picking up the pieces, no matter how long it takes. A good reputation can take years to build and can be trashed in minutes thanks to poor management decisions, no matter how well they can be rationalised after the event.
To be clear, the money paid to deferred students is not being paid because firms feel students should have all-expenses-paid holidays or that students are greedy. The payments are to compensate students who had a legitimate expectation and, in many cases, contractual right to take up paid employment, but instead find themselves unemployed and looking for work while they wait another year. Students rely on the TCs they have accepted up to 2 years previously. If an executive signed a contract for a new job and handed in his notice only to find the new job has been unilaterally postponed, he would be able to pursue the company for breach of contract! Also, just because the bigger firms pay fees and some maintenance doesn't mean that a) students don't still incur costs/debts while studying the LPC (and GDL in some cases), or b) all students deferred by their firms even benefitted from the fees/maintenance packages.
The whole charade at Shoosmiths doesn't surpise me in the least in relation to trainees, redundancies etc. I am afraid that Shoosmiths have lost the thing which once set them apart from other firms and that was that once they actually cared about their staff rather than just the extra thousands in the partners pay packets. Its going to take more than just a change in the CEO to turn the rot around.

Guild Wars 2 Review + 20 Minute Gameplay Preview
- Written by Jude Terror on Monday, July 23 2012 and posted in Features
Courtesy of Outhouse correspondent and known girl TerriG, it's an advance look at Guild Wars 2!
TerriG writes for The Outhouse:
Guild Wars 2 is the newest ArenaNet game that brings players back to the grand world of Tyria after five years in development. It's an exciting MMO title that promises to give players countless hours of quests, exploration and PvP combat.
I was lucky enough to have partaken in the close beta test up to this weekend's final beta weekend event and am happy to bring you a twenty minute preview in the video above. For those of you who want to skip my humble attempt at a game "vlog," I'll give you a brief run down.
First of all, GW2 is amazing for it's artwork. The art team that ArenaNet (whose parent company is NCSoft if you were wondering) brought in is top notch, as you can see from some of the screen shots here. A mix of watercolor screen transitions and great in-game graphics offers a distinct sense of immersion and an understanding that this title is trying to stand out from the crowd by doing something creatively different.
It does, however, follow a rather tried-and-true MMO format. You level up with quests and exploration, and you can partake in crafting along the way which will enhance your character's abilities and gear if you so choose. There is a dynamic event system that is supposed to make you feel that your leveling experience is different than other games in that certain instances happen randomly and involve your fellow players in PvE. These events carry weight and change your in-game experience by either granting you boons or access to areas you didn't have access to before if you win. If you like this kind of game style then Guild Wars 2 stands to offer a slightly different twist on your previous experiences.
There are beautiful towns and hidden nooks and crannies to explore which I find to be very engaging and time-consuming. I can go for hours just looking around to see new things, but most of the time I end up doing one of my favorite things -- player vs. player.
Generally, PvP consists of capture the flag battlegrounds and tournaments, as well as a unique World PvP mode that involves pitting server against server for bragging rights and more boons for the winning side. Since this is still a beta weekend, classes are consistently being tweaked and balanced, as ArenaNet is hoping to turn the tournament based PvP into another e-sport.
Overall, I'd give Guild Wars 2 a thumbs up as it is a solid contribution to the MMO world without being too derivative, yet it feels very familiar for those of us who have spent enough time playing this genre of game. Let me know what you think, Outhousers, and be sure to pick up the game when it is released on August 28th!

In these conditions the following meanings:
a. "The Auctioneer" means the firm of Thomas Watson & Son or directors or employee thereof at the time of sale.
b. "The Buyer" shall have the meaning applied to it in Condition 4 and for the purpose of these Conditions all Buyers shall be deemed to be principles unless to the knowledge of the Auctioneer they are acting as agent on behalf of a named principle.
c. "Forgery" means a lot (i) which is so constituted as deliberately to deceive when considered in the light of its catalogue description, and (ii) whose value as such is materially less than if it has complied with the catalogue descriptions.
2. Explanatory Introduction
The Auctioneer acts only as agent for the seller (unless otherwise specifically declared). The Auctioneer is not necessarily in a position to know the history of or assess the quality of lots sold on behalf of these principles. In addition, lots sold are likely to have been subject to wear and tear caused by use or the effects of age and may therefore have faults and imperfections. Buyers are given ample opportunity and viewing times to examine lots to be sold and will be assumed to have done so. They must rely solely on their own skill and judgement as to whether lots are fit for any particular purpose, and as to compliance with the catalogue description of illustrations.
3. Bids
All bids shall be treated as offers made upon these Conditions of Sale and all persons present are admitted to attend the sale on the basis that they have notice of these Conditions.
4. Ascertainment of Buyer
The buyer shall be the person making the highest bid which is acceptable to the Auctioneer as signified by the fall of the hammer. In the case of a dispute as to the highest bidding during or immediately after the sale of the lot, the Auctioneer may if he thinks fit put up the lot again for sale.
5. Auctioneers Discretion

d. the Auctioneers cannot make any guarantees as to the condition of electrical items and buyers are strongly advised to have them examined by a qualified electrical contractor before use, no refund is available if the item is faulty
9. Catalogue Description
The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions are reasonably accurate and reliable but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of facts. Subject to Condition 10, neither the seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any description of any lot or its attribution in any manner to any particular originator.
10. Forgeries
Notwithstanding Conditions 8 and 9, if the Auctioneer receives notice from the Buyer within 14 days of the sale that in his opinion a lot is a forgery (as defined in Condition 1) and on giving such notification a lot is returned to the Auctioneer at his working premises in the same condition as when bought, then if on considering such evidence as the Buyer supplies to prove his assertion, the Auctioneer decides that the lot is a forgery the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price repaid to the Buyer.
11. Property in Lots at Risk
The Buyer Shall not become the owner of any lot, and the Auctioneer shall have a lien thereon, until the Buyer has discharged the purchase price in full, but after the fall of the hammer the risk of damage or loss to the lot in question shall nevertheless pass to and remain with the buyer.
12. Default by Buyer
If the Buyer fails to pay for or remove any lot bought by him or in any other material respect fails to comply with these Conditions, the Auctioneer shall have the right:
a. to resell the lot by public auction or otherwise without notice to the Buyer, and if any deficiency arises on such resale after deducting the Auctioneer's full cost and expenses, the Buyer shall be responsible to the Seller and Auctioneer but any net surplus to be the Seller's or, alternatively,
b. to store the lot at the Auctioneer's premises or elsewhere and to release the lot to the Buyer only after payment (in addition to the purchase price) in full of all reasonable storage and removal expenses incurred, together with interest on the outstanding amount.

New album with Nina 2015
Nina Söderqvist is currently in the recording studio where she is recording her next album. Planned releases in January 2015, but this fall you will be able to hear a sample when her single is released.
Nina participates in "Så ska det låta" on December 29 at (Swedish television) SVT1.
Nina in a new musical

Several producers behind the show "Alcatraz" rushed to help save a stroke victim's life today in San Fran -- but sources tell TMZ, the rescue effort wouldn't have been possible ... if not for a poorly parked car.
According to sources, the car was parked on a street where the crew needed to film -- so producers tried to locate the car's owner ... and traced it back to a house on the block.
When producers knocked on the door, we're told a young woman answered, and informed producers her mother had just suffered a stroke and she didn't know what to do.
According to sources, producers notified several on-set SF police officers -- who then rushed into the house, where the woman's mother was located. Soon after, an ambulance arrived and transported the woman to a nearby hospital for treatment.
No word yet on the woman's current condition. We're told production has since resumed on set.
Apologies; we have heard of 911 in San Francisco. Don't know what's wrong with this chick.
WOW... awesome story :) You get one every now and then, TMZ. (I do agree with Kelly's comment...911?! Maybe she called them and was waiting for them to arrive?)
Maybe it was really a murder in progress....da da da dummmm
Cool story - hope lady will be ok - but was the young woman a complete moron? Even a child can call 911. Frankly, the producers should have called 911 first & then got the officers nearby who could assist until medical help arrived.
Cheez, its a wonder the poor lady made it with these people gawking at her instead of getting medical help asap. Time is vital with life and death emergencies!!
they don't have 911 in san fran?
The mother had a stroke and the daughter had a bad case of the dumbs.
Wow, if she recovers this will be a rare good news story on TMZ.
Sometimes people are out in the right place at the right time.
I hope the mother is all right. Thank goodness the producers were there, they saved her life. If she was waiting on this idiot "who didn't know what to do" she'd be dead fo sho.
awesome story,some one from hollywood did something real,,,oh wait there from SF that explains a lot,if they were from Hollywood they would have told her to mover her car before she could die
Gee I wonder if the on-set policemen accessed driving records of people that movie producers need to move a car, because you know that would be so legal within their rules of course.
Who cares about the old broad?
The real question is: did the car get moved?
Um, one little problem with this story: "Alcatraz" is filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
This is the Providence of God; when someone just happens to be in the right place at the right time, that is God working.

"Not everyone wants to be Blair Waldorf."
"Not everyone can be."
get to know me meme: [1/5] relationships
chuck and blair (gossip girl)
But I am me, and you are you. We're Chuck and Blair, Blair and Chuck. The worst thing you've ever done, the darkest thought you ever had, I will stand by you through anything. Because I love you.
If two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back.
For Gioia
Here's my advice: Have a little faith, and if that doesn't work have a lot of mimosas.
In the face of true love, you don't just give up. Even if the object of your affection is begging you to.
"Here is the thing. You have to be cold to be queen. Anne Boleyn loved with her heart, and ended up getting her head chopped off. But her daughter Elizabeth, vowed to never marry a man. She married a country. Keep your eye on the prize. You cant make people love you but you can make them fear you." — Blair Waldorf

Baltimore • In 1985, a year after the Cold War thriller "The Hunt for Red October" came out, author Tom Clancy was invited to lunch at the Reagan White House, where he was questioned by Navy Secretary John Lehman.
Who, the secretary wanted to know, gave Clancy access to all that secret material?
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Clancy, the best-selling novelist who died Tuesday in Baltimore at 66, insisted then, and after, that his information was strictly unclassified: books, interviews and papers that were easily obtained. Also, two submarine officers reviewed the final manuscript.
Government officials may have worried how Clancy knew that a Russian submarine spent only about 15 percent of its time at sea or how many SS-N-20 Seahawk missiles it carried.
But his extreme attention to technical detail earned him respect inside the intelligence community and beyond and helped make Clancy the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, one who seemed to capture a shift in the country's mood away from the CIA misdeeds that came out in the 1970s to the heroic feats of Clancy's most famous creation, CIA analyst Jack Ryan.
Several of his novels, including "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger," were later made into blockbuster movies, with another, "Jack Ryan," set for release on Christmas.
"Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer," Clancy once said. "I think about the characters I've created, and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky."
A tall, trim figure given to wearing sunglasses that made him look like a fighter pilot, Clancy had such a sure grasp of defense technology and spycraft that many readers were convinced he served in the military. But his experience was limited to ROTC classes in college. Near-sightedness kept him out of active duty.
A political conservative who once referred to Ronald Reagan as "my president," Clancy broke through commercially during a tense period of the Cold War, and with the help of Reagan himself.
In 1982, he began working on "The Hunt for Red October," drawing inspiration from a real-life 1975 mutiny aboard a Soviet missile frigate. He sold the manuscript to the first publisher he tried, the Naval Institute Press, which had never bought original fiction.
In real life, the mutiny was put down, but in Clancy's book, a Soviet submarine skipper hands his vessel over to the U.S. and defects.
Someone thought enough of the novel to give it to Reagan as a Christmas gift. The president quipped at a dinner that he was losing sleep because he couldn't put the book down — a statement Clancy later said helped put him on the New York Times best-seller list.
"What happened to me was pure dumb luck. I'm not the new Hemingway," Clancy later said in an interview with the American Movie Channel.
"Of course, fortune does favor the brave. In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line. What I did was take time away from how I earned my living. My wife gave me hell. 'Why are you doing this?' But she doesn't complain anymore."
Clancy said his dream had been simply to publish a book, hopefully a good one, so that he would be in the Library of Congress catalog. His dreams were answered many times over.
His novels were dependable hits, his publisher estimating worldwide sales at more than 100 million copies.
Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford were among the actors who played Jack Ryan on screen. The upcoming movie stars Chris Pine, with Kenneth Branagh directing. Keira Knightly plays his wife and Kevin Costner his mentor at the CIA.
Clancy often played off — and sometimes anticipated — world events, as in the pre-9/11 paranoid thriller "Debt of Honor," in which a jumbo jet destroys the U.S. Capitol during a joint meeting of Congress.
In 1996, a year before President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky was revealed, Clancy's "Executive Orders" imagined a sex scandal that helped lead to Ryan's becoming president.
He started off writing about the Russians, but also told stories of drug cartels, Irish-British tensions and Islamic terrorism.
He also wrote nonfiction works on the military and even ventured into video games, including the best-selling "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier," "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction" and "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent."Next Page >

Migration Policy Institute - European Union
RSS - European Union
Subscribe to our European Union RSS feed using your favorite RSS reader: Subscribe
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
This day-long conference in Brussels, co-sponsored by the International Labour Office and the European Commision's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion, will discuss the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations.
In the coming weeks, the President-Elect of the European Commission and leaders of the European Union will discuss the new institutional map of the European Union, including new portfolios for the incoming college of Commissioners. Despite the fact that immigration is a critical challenge for the European Union, it has become harder for EU institutions to forge a strong policy. Perhaps as a result of this disconnect, one of the key ideas on the table is to create a Commissioner for Migration.
The European Council's new strategic guidelines, which set the pathway for future policy development in the area of Justice and Home Affairs in the coming years, seem unfeasibly insulated from today's migration and asylum realities and challenges confronting the European Union. The draft represents a missed opportunity to lead EU heads of state forward on critical issues in this area, MPI Europe's Director writes in this commentary.
This MPI Europe telebriefing, releasing the brief "Strengthening Refugee Protection and Meeting Challenges: The European Union's Next Steps on Asylum," examines Europe's current reality with respect to migration and asylum and assesses the possibilities for future development of EU immigration policy.
With the European Council meeting in late June 2014 to adopt strategic guidelines on asylum and migration policy, amid strains resulting from Syrian refugee migration and other flows, this MPI Europe policy brief identifies challenges and proposes a forward course. The brief recommends increased engagement by Member States in practical cooperation as a way to strengthen implementation and consolidation of existing EU laws and achieve more consistent asylum decision-making.
A telebriefing examining the realities of European policy on immigration and asylum, and future agenda.
This MPI Europe policy brief, published with the European Council poised to articulate a new set of long-term objectives and priorities for action on migration and asylum policy, details the immigration and other challenges that policymakers confront and sets out the reasons for increasingly sclerotic policy development.
This report examines the complexity of immigrant integration governance in EU Member States, and offers detailed mapping of the origin-country institutions that are increasingly involved in integration-related activities. It explores how EU institutions can maximize opportunities for cooperation between origin and destination countries on integration governance.
This discussion explores how the 2014 Greek Presidency of the European Union and the United States can work to address the challenges of managing migration while meeting humanitarian obligations and nurturing economic growth.
This report examines human trafficking and smuggling trends and routes to Europe, and profiles the facilitators and clients/victims of such activities. It also offers a menu of policy options that are likely to reduce trafficking and smuggling flows, noting that such policies must be multifaceted to address a variety of contributing factors simultaneously.
Citizenship is a deeply sensitive issue for the European Union, and Member States hold dear their sovereign right to determine who should become a national. There has been strong resistance by Member States towards any discussion of citizenship acquisition at the EU level, despite some outré national policy changes in recent years. A decision by Malta's government to sell 1,800 passports for 1.15 million euros apiece has caused unusual levels of furor, and this scheme may become the straw that breaks the camel's back.
This report outlines the security-related challenges that borders are intended to address—including terrorism, human smuggling and trafficking, illegal migration, and drug trafficking—and, in turn, the perverse consequences that tighter border enforcement can generate. As states implement extensive border controls and deterrence measures to prevent illegal migration, they indirectly push unauthorized migrants into the hands of smugglers and traffickers.
A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
This event marked the release of MPI's final project report on international cooperation for the mutual recognition of foreign credentials. Report authors were joined by government professionals and the CEO of Upwardly Global.
This report analyzes mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) between countries, which allow professionals to transfer their skills and experiences across borders more effectively. The report, part of a series on the recognition of foreign credentials, evaluates existing MRAs and discusses the prospects for cooperation between the United States and the European Union.
This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.
This policy brief reviews the challenges that face the EU-wide social security coordination system. It argues that while improving the fairness, clarity, and public support for this system are difficult, even small concessions from the European Commission could provide an opportunity to showcase the elements that do work.
In the wake of the Lampedusa tragedy the Director of the European Agency for Fundamental Rights discussed the state of rights protection in Europe as well as the agency's role in this evolving arena, while ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project Founder and former National Director, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President, and U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division Senior Counsel discuss the U.S. immigrant-rights movement.

Alaska Wilderness League has conducted annual photography contests through which participants reveal the beauty and bounty of Alaska's Hidden Gems. The contests feature lands in Alaska under the management of the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which hold some of our nation's greatest natural treasures: the world's largest wild salmon fishery, the largest surging glacier in North America, millions of migratory and resident birds, the state's largest caribou herd and longest River; the mighty Yukon.
Despite containing the superlatives of Alaska's natural beauty, the unique history, cultures, and untouched beauty in much of these wild places are yet to be discovered by many Americans, in and out of Alaska. Our hope is that the photographs and stories from these places will inspire the public to learn more about them, to visit them and to push for lasting protections for them.
We are not conducting a contest in 2011, but are planning new ways to promote Alaska's Hidden Gems! Please visit our page in spring 2011 for more details on how you can help us reveal Alaska's Hidden Gems.
2010 Winning Photos
Jake Schas from Sisters, OR was the overall contest winner and was the first place winner in the Wildlife category with his photograph "American Pipit, Toolik Lake Field Station." Jake is a naturalist at the Toolik Field Station. During a rainstorm, Jake ventured out and took a walk around Toolik Field. He happened upon a few American Pipits feeding in the rain. Jake's photo captures the weather and birds beautifully.
Laura Vines from Fairbanks, AK took second place in the overall contest and was the first place winner of the Landscapes and Natural Features category with "Pinnell Mountain Trail, Eagle Summit." Laura visits the Pinnell Mountain Trail as frequently as she can. When this landscape was captured, she had decided to forge on to Eagle Summit from 12-mile Summit even through it was raining and sleeting heavily. When she arrived on Pinnell Mountain, the sky cleared and it was warmer and more beautiful than she had ever experienced. Laura captured the passing weather perfectly – a beautiful day on the mountain with moving, passing clouds overhead.
Susan L. Stevenson from North Pole, AK took third place in the overall contest and was the first place winner of the Humans and the Environment category with her photograph "Dalton Highway." Susan and her husband were driving the "Haul Road" otherwise known as Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay last June. Inspired by the vastness and beauty of the state, Susan felt this photo was a true representation of the sheer aloneness that people can feel when making this trip. In her photo, Susan captures the singleness of the experience and contrasts the beauty of the wilderness with the development of the highway.
Krystin Bogan from North Pole, AK took fourth place in the overall contest and was the first place winner of the Historical and Cultural Features category with her photograph "Abandoned Gold Dredge, Steese Highway." Krystin is no stranger to BLM lands – she and her family have made many trips to their cabin in central Alaska to experience the wilderness. Krystin captures an old abandoned gold dredge which is located across from the Chatanika Lodge just up from the Steese Highway. The photograph is a reminder of Alaska's gold mining past – set among a scenery of beautiful mountains, trees, and streams.

RUMOR: PS4 In 2012, With Embedded Kinect-Like Motion Control
- Scribbled on July 4th, 2011 by Jonah Falcon
- Filed in Kinect, Move, Rumor Mill, Sony PlayStation 3
The rumor that Microsoft's next console will be released in 2012 got stronger by a report from Sony's Taiwan-based partners that they have begun production of the PlayStation 4, complete with a Kinect-like gesture motion control included.
According to Digitimes:
"Foxconn and Pegatron Technology, assemblers of PS3, will undertake assembly of PS4 as well, the sources pointed out. The planned shipment volume of PS4 in 2012 is at least 20 million units, the sources indicated."
So much for the PlayStation Move, huh?

The Move that has pushed 8.5 million to Kinects 10?
Jonah Falcon Says:
July 10th, 2011 at 11:28 am
No. And regardless, the Move did not push new PS3 sales as the Kinect did (the 360 has had 20%-30% year-to-year monthly sales increases.)
greg Says:
July 11th, 2011 at 2:29 am
Yeah…and hasn't improved that ever shrinking gap between the 2.
Jonah Falcon Says:
July 11th, 2011 at 3:10 am
What shrinking gap? What kind of math do you use? How is it possible for the PS3 to be consistently in third place and close a gap?
Oh, you must be using the Sony numbers in which they talk about ACTIVE machines. We use actual sales, thanks.
greg Says:
July 11th, 2011 at 6:59 am
Typical dumb yank, always the small minded, thinking their country is the world.
The PS3, according to numbers, has not been outsold by the 360 this year. Not one single week. In fact, only twice has it not been the highest selling console in the world.
This year, the PS3 has sold 4.9 million consoles, while the 360 has sold 4.1
PS3 – 14.4 million
360 – 13.6 million
360 – 10.1
360 – 10.0
The numbers prove me right, and as usual, you are wrong. The gap has shrunk.
And you want to talk about fudged numbers but you won't mention the RROD.
lol, I am really tired of owning you. Moronic fanboy.
