Our Catholic Journey (RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Home > Ministries > RCIA
Are you...
Considering becoming Catholic?
A Catholic interested in being Confirmed?
A Confirmed Catholic who is ready to explore your faith anew?
Join us for RCIA!
Each year men and women embark on an exploration of the Catholic faith. Some are deciding if they are called into the Catholic Church; others have been Catholic all their lives and are now interested in discovering what this really means. Together we witness to the fact that our search for God is a lifelong journey, a journey on which we make the most progress when we walk it with others and with intention.
Participants Say...
"I have often put my faith journey on hold, recognizing that I don't have time to really develop my faith in my busy schedule. Once I made a commitment to my faith journey and have put in some time to develop my faith, I realized that I don't have time to not give some to God. Whatever I offer to Him, He always repays a million times over. The faith journey I am on is quite possibly the most transforming and enhancing journey I have been a part of." - Del, Baptized Easter 2006

Answers To Common Questions About RCIA
What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA, is a series of classes that present an adult exploration of the Catholic faith. RCIA is a chance for people to learn the basics of what it means to be Catholic, to ask their burning questions, and to seek ways to more fully open their lives to Jesus Christ. RCIA is primarily for adults considering becoming Catholic and for Catholics who were never Confirmed. RCIA prepares men and women to make a conscious choice whether or not they want receive the sacraments of initiation offered by the Catholic Church (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation). At St. Dominic's, we offer opportunities for others join in this process. We do this in recognition that faith is a lifelong journey, and that many people who have been Catholic their entire lives are now ready to ask new questions as adults.
What is the time commitment for RCIA?
The RCIA group meets every Tuesday evening from 7:00-9:00 PM from the second week in September through the Easter Vigil and Pentecost. This is the primary time commitment, and there may be other commitments depending on what part of the process you're going through. We recognize that many people have work and family schedules that won't allow them to be at every meeting. That said, it's best if you can be at most meetings because each lesson builds on earlier lessons. If you have to miss an evening, we'll provide ways for you to catch up on what you miss.
What if I'm not sure I want to become Catholic or be Confirmed?
Not a problem! In fact, we're assuming that this is the case. Our RCIA is structured in a way that invites you to make small commitments until you're sure you want to proceed. The initial meetings are designed to answer some basic questions, and give you a feel for what the journey will be like. After the first few classes, we'll explore the core Christian message while beginning to answer your most burning questions. Around December, we invite you to begin to decide where you'd like this process to take you.
If I'm already a Confirmed Catholic, is RCIA right for me?
Many of us stopped learning about our Catholic faith when we received the Sacrament of Confirmation in our early teens. Confirmation was supposed to be the time when we chose the Catholic faith for ourselves at the "age of reason," but many of us realize that we weren't really aware enough to say "yes." Often, we don't really engage in our spiritual journey until much later in life. It's not uncommon for us to realize as adults that we want to know more about our faith, and to wrestling with some of the more difficult questions we have. RCIA is an opportunity for you to really explore your faith. It is also a chance to see your faith through the eyes of people exploring it for the first time. Together we'll help each other grow closer to Jesus Christ.
Is RCIA appropriate for children too?
RCIA (adapted for older children) is provided, depending on individual circumstances, through the Family and Children's Faith Formation (FCFF) or Youth Ministry. Contact the Director of Religious Education, Michael Smith, at (415) 674-0446 or email@example.com.

President to Talk Economy in Summer Series

WASHINGTON — Drawing renewed attention to the economy, President Barack Obama will return this week to an Illinois college where he once spelled out a vision for an expanded and strengthened middle......

Obama farms certain vote demographics and you would think that academia (and even gameboy students) would wonder about what he says and does. It is about style and getting together in a mob and feeling good and chanting (kind of like a religious cult) but no real information is exchanged. Its a bombardment of misinformation and buzzwords on a campus (he told students ten days before the last election HE would abolish all studentl loan debt(. yep, he did that. Wonder if students voted for him...lol of course they did. To be an Obama liberal you have to suspend reality and not notice the the wars and violence and death he causes with his sometimes secret sometime openly military excursions. We killed 35,000 Libyans bombing them for 24/7 for 8 months.Why? We crushed Egypt, we are greasing you up to accept war in Syria. I am a moderate, dont like flag wavers, but really dislike libs who think they are so smart. Being an Obama guy is not being a liberal, its being stupid.

Invest in social entrepreneurs wherever we find them
With Ashoka's Global Venture Fund, my family and I share in supporting the most creative people in every field and on every continent. The opportunity to connect our resources with such transformative global change is invaluable for everyone involved. Clearly, it's one of the most satisfying and effective investments we've made."
- Charles Oswald, The Oswald Family Foundation
The Global Venture Fund is the primary mechanism that allows us to select and support Ashoka Fellows on any topic, in any country, wherever impactful innovation is naturally emerging. As innovation tends to occur on the boundaries of definitions, sectors and industries the Global Venture Fund allows us to respond to areas of greatest need and opportunity.
Through the Global Venture Fund, along with other generous gifts and corporate partnerships, we have invested over $100,000,000 in empowering social entrepreneurs around the world!
Help us support social entrepreneurs around the world to reach their next level of impact. Donate online!
How does the Global Venture Fund operate?
Investments in the Global Venture Fund will be allocated to Ashoka's Venture program and used to find and engage Ashoka Fellows. Funds will be allocated towards a range of catalytic investments throughout the Fellow's lifetime, including search and selection costs, modest financial support, and strategic investments in professional development. The Global Venture Fund allocation relies on the input of senior staff and Ashoka's Leadership Team, which will be consulted before funds are dispersed to finalize Fellow elections. While the Global Venture Fund does not generate a financial profit, investments will contribute to long-term social impact.
How did the Global Venture Fund start?
The Global Venture Fund was launched in May 2006 with an initial gift of $100,000 from the Oswald Family Foundation in honor of Charles W. Oswald, former CEO of National Computer Systems of Minneapolis and current chairman of Rotherwood Investments. Reflecting Charley's powerful combination of heart, brilliance, and gratitude for all his opportunities to succeed in the American business world, the Oswald family is passing on the gift of financial support and opportunity to support the world's leading social entrepreneurs with Ashoka.
How will Ashoka report the Global Venture Fund?
With the Global Venture Fund's disbursement at the end of each fiscal year, Ashoka will disseminate a report to all Global Venture Fund investors. (See the 2013 report here.) It will include a synopsis of the work of Ashoka's Venture Program in each of our six major regions (North America, Latin America, Africa, Middle East/North Africa, Europe, and Asia), a geographic distribution of how the Global Venture Fund's resources were spent, and summaries of the work of a selection of Fellows supported by the Global Venture Fund. Updates on Ashoka's financials and the development of the global institution will also be included.

Provided, I want to pass a modifiable parameter to a function, what should I choose: to pass it by pointer or to pass it by reference?
- bool GetFoo ( Foo& whereToPlaceResult );
- bool GetFoo ( Foo* whereToPlaceResult );
I am asking this because I always considered it the best practice to pass parameter by reference (1), but after examining some local code database, I came to a conclusion, that the most common way is (2). Moreover, the man himself (Bjarne Stroustrup) recommends using (2). What are the [dis]advantages of (1) and (2), or is it just a matter of personal taste?

Hi all, I am new to the site and looking for help. I am a researcher on a book dealing with cinema in British Columbia. I would love to include reminiscences about specific theatres, photos, or any information about how film and theatres in general affected your life and/or community. This would include rented films, documentaries from libraries, as well as local theatres or film study groups. Any information you would like to share would be most welcome.

Thanks for sharing your love of movies!
Famous Players ran this theatre in its earlier years, at least until the late-1980s.
This theatre was purpose built by Famous Players Canadian Corporation. The Famous Players booking department referred to this as one of their "up country" locations in British Columbia!!!

Oklahoma voters waited in line for hours after polls closed Tuesday
EDMOND — By the time polls closed Tuesday, David Johnston already had been standing in line at the polls for an hour and a half.
He expected to be there at least another half-hour.
"I brought a book to read," he said. "So I'm good."
Johnston stood in the lobby of LifeChurch on E Second Street in Edmond Tuesday evening, reading a book on his computer. Around him, James Brown's "Living in America" could be heard over the dull clamor of a few hundred other voters.
Even after polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday, a line of voters snaked around the lobby of the church, slowly moving toward the polls.
Poll workers brought out bowls of snacks and canisters of coffee and iced tea for those in line.
Earlier in the evening, voters waited even longer — some up to three hours — as the line stretched out the door and into the parking lot.
Phil Prasse, of Edmond, had been waiting in line for about 30 minutes when the polls closed. When he arrived, poll volunteers told him to expect a two-hour wait, he said.
As he waited, Prasse took a last look at a sample ballot on his phone from the Oklahoma County Election Board's website.
Between the presidential race and the six state questions on the ballot, Prasse said, the election was important enough to wait in line.
Another voter, Dave Farrand, agreed. He, too, had been waiting in line for about a half-hour when the polls closed. Farrand said he'd heard about the long lines at the church even before he arrived.
"I kind of had an inkling it would take two hours," he said.
Oklahoma Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax said his office had heard reports of long lines at precincts all across the state. Those wait times are mostly due to high voter turnout, Ziriax said.
Although the recent change in Oklahoma's voter ID laws may have slowed the process somewhat, Ziriax said, the largest part of the problem was simply accommodating more voters than the system usually handles.
The high turnout is fairly typical for a presidential election, Zyriax said. Although he didn't head up the election board at the time, Zyriax said his staff told him the state saw similar wait times during the 2008 election.

A group of 74 people who own property hugging the Lake Washington shoreline near Bellevue, Newcastle and Renton is suing Puget Sound Energy over the utility's proposal to build power lines on nearby Eastside Rail Corridor land.
The property owners, eager to preserve their views and to see the corridor transformed into a lush pedestrian and bicycle trail, claim the utility doesn't have the right to install power lines there. The route is one of two PSE is considering for the southern stretch of a proposed, 18-mile power line that would run from Renton to Redmond.
A more than century-old agreement between railroad companies and the original property owners of parcels that make up the corridor limited the land's use to railroad activity, according to the lawsuit.
In fact, the property owners contend their parcels were never completely sold to BNSF Railway: Only a right of way to build tracks on the corridor's ground surface was sold to the company, they say. The lawsuit claims that when BNSF sold the right of way, or easement, to the Port of Seattle in 2008, it did not have the power to sell subsurface and aerial rights of way to PSE for a power-line route.

The Port of Seattle nonetheless sold subsurface and aerial easement rights to PSE in 2010, according to the lawsuit, which was filed last week in Snohomish County Superior Court. The suit was filed against PSE, King County — which still owns rights to design public trails on a southern portion of the corridor — and the Port of Seattle.
But for most of the four-mile lakeside part of the corridor stretching from Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton to Newcastle Beach Park in Bellevue, only owners of parcels connected to the corridor have the right to sell an easement for a purpose other than railroad or trail activity, said the plaintiffs' attorney, Richard Aramburu.
Scott Kaseburg, 65, is suing because he owns one of those parcels.
"It's like if I give you permission to play with your dog on my lawn, you can't just turn around and sell permission to do other things on my lawn to other people," said Kaseburg.
PSE, King County and the Port of Seattle said they are reviewing details of the lawsuit. They declined to comment on the specifics.
PSE spokesman Andy Wappler said the new power lines would help accommodate booming population and economic growth on the Eastside. He said the area's population is at least six times as big as when the existing power lines were constructed in the 1960s, and more growth is projected for the coming decades.
Asked if the lawsuit would cause PSE to throw out the option of running the line through the railroad corridor, Wappler said no decisions would be made until later this year. He said PSE has dedicated 2014 to gathering public input before applying for permits in early 2015.
"If the communities can create consensus about where they want the route to go, that's the route we'll use," Wappler said.
Ever since BNSF abandoned the railroad, Kaseburg and others in the area have wanted King County to turn the space into a pedestrian and bicycle trail. The county is expected to come up with a design for the trail by the end of 2015.
In addition to new power lines being an eyesore on the shoreline, Kaseburg says vegetation surrounding the power lines would have to be cleared, obliterating any chance of developing an attractive shoreline trail.
"It makes no sense to be building this on the lake," Kaseburg said. "We're adamant PSE can't do this. They have a lot of options and there's no reason for them to spoil this area's hopes for a trail."
When PSE announced in December its Energize Eastside project plans for a new set of high-capacity power lines, it released a map showing several potential paths for the 18-mile power-line route. Included was a route between Renton and Redmond where power lines have been in place since the 1920s.
So far, the plans have sparked skepticism in neighborhoods throughout the Eastside. In addition to the Renton, Newcastle and Bellevue shoreline areas, Bellevue's Somerset neighborhood and Kirkland's South Rose Hill neighborhood have been active at community meetings PSE has already held on the project.
"We're working to answer as many questions as we can. You can actually wait to do all this public engagement until after you apply for permits, but we wanted to get out ahead of that," Wappler said. "The downside of that approach is we don't always have all the answers people want yet."

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Recap: Sisters Collide
January 09, 2012 09:20 PM by Megan Thompson
Tonight on Bravo it's an all new episode of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. Most of the ladies are still in Hawaii celebrating Mauricio's birthday, while Taylor is at home ending her marriage. Keep reading for all the details on tonight's RHOBH episode.
Paul and Adrienne are on a romantic walk in Hawaii. In an off-camera interview Adrienne admits that she and Paul haven't held hands in years. What? Adrienne and Paul need to stop bickering and start turning it up in the romance department. You better hold onto your man Adrienne – Paul's a catch!
Finally Kim arrives with her bulldog, I mean Ken, in Hawaii. Kyle can hear Kim's cackle and realizes her sister is in the room right next door. Kyle is furious that Kim didn't come and tell her that she finally made it to Hawaii.
Lisa and Ken are both doing their hair, primping for Mauricio's birthday dinner, when Kyle and Mauricio walk in. Kyle tells Lisa that Kim is in the room right next door. "You can hear them humping," Lisa jokes to Kyle. Kyle cringes at the thought.
The group slowly gathers outside for Mauricio's dinner party, except for Kim. Kim and Ken show up late, as usual, and make their grand entrance.
Immediately, Kyle interrogates Kim about missing her flight. Kim quickly states that Ken had to work. Kyle isn't pleased with this answer, because Ken is retired! Mauricio gives himself a birthday toast, but then roasts Kim for lying about being late! "Why are you so worried about me?" Kim asks Kyle. "It's bullshit," Kyle yells at Kim. Can these sisters make this dinner anymore awkward? I'm sure they will try!
The next day the entire group is waiting on a bus for Kim and Ken to show up. Today's excursion is a boat ride, but Kim and Ken are over 20 minutes late. Finally Kyle is fed up and she and Lisa try to go find Kim. After knocking on Kim's door, she yells at her that everyone is waiting. Ken finally answers the door and says they missed the alarm. It's 11:30! Do you really need to set an alarm if you need to be up by noon?
Kyle goes back to the bus and tells everyone they are leaving without Kim and Ken. As the group is boarding the catamaran, Kim and Ken finally get out of bed. Kim arrives to the dock just as the boat is pulling away. Who are the girls going to talk about if Kim is there anyways? On the boat, all the girls appear to be getting along. Lisa even admits to liking Brandi and her naughty sense of humor.
Kim and Ken are enjoying some alone time over lunch. Ken tells Kim that the girls need to respect her and he isn't going to stand for anything less. Watch out – the bulldog is on attack! The two mock Mauricio's speech about the truth and then they share a kiss.
Back in Beverly Hills, Taylor and Dana have lunch to discuss what's going on with Taylor. "I always believe you," Dana tells Taylor. Taylor breaks down in tears and tells Dana that she has given everything she possibly could.
It's evening in Hawaii and the group has gathered for yet another dinner. Paul and Adrienne go on a walk with Kim to see how she is doing. Paul comments that Ken seems like a very nice guy. Just then Ken walks up and hears his name and gets all defensive. Ken "doesn't like the face" Adrienne was making. What face? Doesn't he know she uses Botox and can't make faces? Ken quickly apologizes when he finds out that he was wrong. Whoops!
The group finally sits down to dinner. How many birthday dinners can Mauricio have? Kyle asks Kim what her and Ken did all day. Kim tries to be positive and tells her that she had a relaxing day, but Kyle won't let it go! So again, Kyle brings up about Kim missing the flight. Kim stays very calm, maybe it's her meds, but Kyle is flying off the handle. Then Ken throws in, "we don't care. I'm tired of the whole thing." Finally Kim can't take it anymore and her and Ken leave the dinner.
Kyle is left crying at dinner, while her friends try to support her. Brandi calls Ken an enabler and thinks that Kim has substance abuse problems.
Do you think Kyle is too hard on Kim? Or has Kim just driven Kyle too far for so long? Let us know what you think, leave us a comment below.

When it comes to the Redskins, it might be best to forget everything you saw from the offense last year and remember everything you know about Mike Shanahan from his coaching career. Washington has made wholesale changes at quarterback and wide receiver, and that should permanently change the direction the unit will move in going forward.
Obviously, the team's huge trade to move up in the NFL Draft and take quarterback Robert Griffin III highlights the Redskins' offseason. Griffin is a terrific fit for Shanahan's version of the West Coast offense, which utilizes quarterback mobility as well as arm strength to overpower defenses. Already tabbed as the starter and working with the playbook since before he was officially drafted, Griffin will be given every chance to succeed this season.
Those chances to succeed were helped by two additions to the Redskins' receiving corps. Pierre Garcon was snared away from the Colts at an expensive cost and Josh Morgan was added from the 49ers as well. Both have the same qualities Shanahan wanted to employ in his offense: Deep speed and the ability to make a play after the catch. Neither will be asked to work as a true No. 1 receiver, but like Griffin they'll have opportunities to make some plays.
Moreover, their arrival makes the Redskins' receiving corps deep and dangerous as a reinvigorated Santana Moss and rehabilitated Leonard Hankerson join tight ends Fred Davis and Chris Cooley. This is a team bursting at the seams with guys who can catch the ball and make a play, and they'll all be on the field at the same time. It's a big change from last year's receiving unit in D.C.
Because so much attention was given to the offense, including the use of draft picks to acquire Griffin, the team did not get much younger on defense. They made small splashes in free agency adding veterans like linebacker Jonathan Goff and safeties Tanard Jackson, Madieu Williams and Brandon Meriweather. It might prove to be the team's weakness; while they have a pair of dynamic pass rushers in Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan, offenses will attack their deep middle regularly and put some points on the board.
Of course, the Redskins offense is now built to respond to such issues. They should score more than the 18.0 points per game they posted last year.

Bust ... Every Redskins running back
Until the Redskins brought back Tim Hightower, our theory was that second-year back Roy Helu would have the chance to be the next great Mike Shanahan-led rusher to help Fantasy owners dominate. But then Hightower was re-signed to go with a corps that already included Evan Royster, and now the Redskins are looking more and more like a three-headed monster. Helu totaled over 1,000 yards last season but had three touchdowns to show for it -- if he had to split with one guy then we'd find him irresistible as a third- or fourth-round pick. Hightower could re-establish himself as a pass protector and goal-line vulture, which would hurt Helu's stats. And Royster, who's not exactly a dud after rumbling for 245 yards and gaining 59 yards through the air in two games last season, won't be a forgotten man either. Plus, how much will the Redskins want to run when they have Griffin to utilize under center? If you want to safeguard yourself, draft these guys as late as possible to cut down on the risk of having them languish on your bench as poor stat producers. Reaching for Helu especially with a Top 50 or 60 pick could prove to be a reach.
Sleeper ... Pierre Garcon, wide receiver
Some of Garcon's best work last season came when he caught deep lobs and scored. The Redskins hope he can do a lot more of that this year. The Redskins liked Garcon's deep-ball qualities, not to mention his experience playing in the Colts' up-tempo offense. When Griffin makes it tough on opposing defenses by evading the pass rush and keeping plays alive, Garcon will make it tougher on defensive backs by breaking free and giving Griffin a long-ball outlet. Kendall Wright did a lot of that at Baylor. With Garcon expected to play more snaps than anyone in the Redskins' deep receiving corps (his pricey salary commands it), he's the best bet to shine among all of Washington's wideouts.
Late-round flier ... Leonard Hankerson, wide receiver
Last year Hankerson barely played until he had an opportunity to make his second start at Miami in Week 10, and he caught eight passes for 106 yards. Then he tore the labrum in his hip and was lost for the season. Hankerson's hip has healed, and the big-bodied receiver is expected to be ready to play. What guys like Moss and Garcon give Griffin in speed Hankerson gives him in size -- plus he can run a little bit too. It shouldn't take much for Hankerson to be a regular part of the Redskins' three-receiver set, and he'll be a difficult guy for defenses to cover. Best of all, you might get away with drafting him late or even picking him up off waivers during the first few weeks of the season. We love his upside.
Schedule breakdown
The first six weeks should give Robert Griffin III a good chance to settle in before he takes on the Giants and Steelers in hard back-to-back road games where the blitzes will be fast and furious. Washington has five divisional matchups in its last seven games, which isn't easy. Shanahan is 4-8 against the NFC East in two seasons, but did beat the Super Bowl champs twice last year (and was swept by the Cowboys and Eagles).
Training camp topics
|Roy Helu
|151 carries, 49 catches
|Tim Hightower
|84 carries, 10 catches
|Jabar Gaffney
|68 catches
|Ryan Torain
|59 carries, 6 catches
|Evan Royster
|56 carries, 9 catches
All eyes are going to be on Griffin this summer. The Redskins have been without a legit franchise passer for a long, long time -- Griffin fits the bill. He's already been named the starter and just needs to get acclimated with his receivers while learning all the nuances of the NFL game. His offensive line should be healthy to start the season, which will also go a long way. While some Fantasy owners are ready to trust Griffin like they did Cam Newton last season, we doubt he'll score double-digit rushing touchdowns or be a dominant runner. He's got a solid arm and will contribute more that way -- we can't wait to see him work in training camp and the preseason if only to get an idea of who he likes to throw to and how quickly he'll run out of the pocket.
Running back and receiver are stocked so much that the Redskins have to define roles for everyone. So long as all three running backs are healthy and contributing, predicting their playing time will be a difficult task. Remember how annoying it was last year? Expect more of that. The receivers should establish themselves and be easier to project.
There's also a logjam at tight end: Fred Davis broke out last season and reached some of the potential we saw in him as a rookie out of Southern Cal. Chris Cooley is coming off of an injury and looks like he'll make the roster even with a bloated salary figure. The Redskins also have a project in Niles Paul who they'd like to develop into a contributor eventually. Seeing how that group shakes out should be interesting.
But if you're looking for a real camp battle, perhaps it's the kickers. Graham Gano kicked last year and made 31 of 41 attempts including 4 of 6 from 50-plus yards out. But offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan saw kicker Neil Rackers shake free from the Texans this offseason -- the two used to work together -- and got him on the Redskins' roster. Over his last four seasons, Rackers has made 88.5 percent of his field goals (100 of 113) including 8 of 11 from 50-plus yards. Smart money is on him replacing Gano this summer.
Injury update
Tim Hightower (knee; questionable for the start of training camp) ... Leonard Hankerson (hip; probable for the start of training camp) ... Chris Cooley (knee, groin; probable for the start of training camp) ... Josh Morgan (leg; probable for the start of training camp) ... Graham Gano (back; probable for the start of training camp).

The Speculator's Guide to… The Next Showrunner
Guest contributor Francis Milan takes a look at who could take over the reigns from Moffat.
As confirmed in an interview last month, Steven Moffat's days left as showrunner are well and truly finite. He's had a good, yet enormously divisive run, but despite claims of his tenure enduring for a thousand years, it seems we're closer to the end than we are from the beginning. This begs the big question – who'll be the next King (or Queen) of Who? For speculation purposes, I've shortlisted the likely (and some fairly unlikely) candidates, and considered their likely début, for all your speculating needs.
I will award each candidate a 'Credibility' rating – on a scale of one to ten – to evaluate how seriously we should take the proposition. (For example, whereas William Shakespeare would get a one, Moffat himself would achieve a ten.)
Toby Whithouse
A bookies' favourite (that is, if bookies were into that sort of thing) is the fantastic Toby Whithouse. A writing regular on Doctor Who, his scripts are well-known for their exploration of the Doctor's conscience and inner turmoil, as well as incorporating brilliant antagonists, dialogue, and a warm sense of humour. Most of the episodes rank among the best ever, such as The God Complex and School Reunion. His showrunning capabilities are well-known; among his television works are popular BBC Three comedy drama Being Human and upcoming BBC One spy thriller The Game.
Credibility: 8/10
Mark Gatiss
A regular on the Doctor Who scene for over 20 years, and the most prolific non-showrunner to write for the modern show, Mark Gatiss is most certainly one of the most suitable men for the job. His experience writing multiple novels and episodes of Doctor Who and its spectacular spin-off docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time, as well as being one of the showrunners and masterminds behind Sherlock are more than enough reason to deem him worthy of the job. However, a common observation is his penchant for setting almost all his stories in the past, where his talents and passions are strongest. Hey, he could always pull a Season 7 and set the entire series in the 70s. Well, one can dream…
Credibility: 9/10
Chris Chibnall
The brainbox behind recent television phenomenon Broadchurch, Chris Chibnall is no stranger to running a very popular and demanding show. Nor is he a stranger to Doctor Who and Torchwood, for that matter – his repertoire of diverse episodes includes The Hungry Earth and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and he also has experience in writing minisodes, with 5-day serial Pond Life and moving epilogue P.S. under his belt. Broadchurch shouldn't be detrimental to the prospect of running Doctor Who, though; Moffat has proven with Sherlock that two major shows is, for some writers, a manageable workload! Despite this, most of his stories have been very divisive among the fandom, and many may be disappointed by his appointment.
Credibility: 9/10
Gareth Roberts
Since making his Doctor Who début in 2007 with The Shakespeare Code, after a long line of 1990s tie-in novels, writer and funnyman Gareth Roberts was something of a constant on the show for the five years following. Though we haven't seen any of his televised work since 2011's Closing Time, we've been promised his triumphant return in Capaldi's first series. His broad skillset includes his versatility in terms of both format and story, and his previous work as head writer on Series 1 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. As he enjoys great literary success with recent novels such as the popular Shada and the hotly-anticipated novelisation of City Of Death, it could be said that his talents are best used elsewhere – but he's certainly fit for the job!
Credibility: 6/10
Phil Ford
Though it would seem he is currently an ill-experienced candidate as far as the main show is concerned, Phil Ford's sole script contribution came in the form of the undeniably spectacular The Waters of Mars five years ago; a co-write with Russell T Davies. On top of that, Moffat has invited him back to write Capaldi's second adventure this year. Furthermore, looking in to the expanded universe of television sheds a little more light on why Ford would be such a popular choice – we can gather from his dominant stories in the likes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Wizards Vs Aliens that he has a talent for producing a large quantity of high-standard scripts each year, which is a big part of the showrunner's job.
Credibility: 7/10
Neil Cross
New kid on the block, Neil Cross, penned last year's Hide before being called back to write another: The Rings of Akhaten. Also last year, his massively popular crime drama Luther drew to an end. He's shown great potential as a Who scriptwriter, and is passionate enough to tackle the challenge of showrunner; he stated in DWM last year that though he is concerned about the high pressure involved, the child inside him would meet the question with an enthusiastic "Yes!". So, all he needs now is for Steven Moffat to offer him the job. But the question is, will he be asked…?
Credibility: 7/10
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is often cited as a high-flyer when the topic of the next showrunner is unearthed. After all, why not; a popular novelist and all-round bright spark in the storytelling industry, his two Doctor Who masterpieces are the The Doctor's Wife and the not-as-perfect-but-still-pretty-great Nightmare in Silver. His writing is heavily theme-based: we could almost certainly expect wilder fantasy elements in the show's ethos, while still remaining faithful the show's history – he's a lifelong fan. Be that as it may, Gaiman has often spoken out about the prospect of becoming showrunner being far too draining. While he is happy to spend up to six months on draft after draft of a single story, he simply doesn't have enough time to run the show. But that's probably not the last we've heard from him!
Credibility: 3/10
Tom MacRae
From looking at his two Doctor Who outings, Tom MacRae is a popular writer of Doctor Who with the fans – Rise of the Cybermen and The Girl Who Waited are two very notable stories in the modern series. However, his showrunning experience is somewhat narrow – he has created and is still currently running sitcom Threesome for Comedy Central, but nothing anywhere near as demanding as Who. He would be a very odd choice considering his lack of experience on this show, but it's very obvious that he can write a corker of a script.
Credibility: 4/10
Russell T Davies
The fanboy in me couldn't resist including RTD as a likely candidate. Does it really need explaining why? He's a crowd-pleaser, and adored among the majority of the fandom. However, the very essence of Doctor Who is change, and Russell's re-appointment could be detrimental to the image of the show. (Nevertheless, he'd be my ideal choice, and that of many others!) Also, his reasons for stepping down as showrunner back in 2009 presumably still stand, and he is still experiencing success on CBBC's Wizards Vs Aliens and is currently penning two upcoming dramas for Channel 4.
Credibility: 2/10
A Coalition
There's one major option I haven't covered – what if Doctor Who is primarily run by two, three or more writers/producers? The most likely prospect, if this were to happen, would be Moffat/Gatiss – a partnership already established on Sherlock, it would help ease Moffat's current workload and potentially lengthen his time in the role. Seeing as there's proof that the concept works in practice, the chance of a partnership forming at the top of the Who hierarchy isn't all that slim. So, if a coalition were to happen, who would you have on the team?
Never mind who will take over – when might the changeover happen? There's quite a range of possible exit points for Steven Moffat.
The End of Series 8
In the aforementioned interview, Moffat stated that he would leave when he "stopped enjoying" the job; a similar suggestion given by Matt Smith when asked about his departure – only a matter of months before the date was announced. Following this trend, this could mean Moffat's already on his way out. But it's unlikely.
Series 9, Episode 3
If maths serves me well, Russell T Davies departed his tenure as showrunner with a total of 60 episodes under his belt, while Moffat has, as of Christmas 2013, produced 44. If his competitive side gets the better of him, he may consider postponing his departure until he beats Davies' tally. Assuming the 14-episode series format will remain in Capaldi's run, Moffat will have reached a grand total of 61 episodes by Series 9, Episode 3, and he can depart with smug satisfaction…
Series 9
Steven recently confirmed that Series 9 will happen, and that it will continue the same format as Series 8. Does this suggest that Moffat will still be around to produce it in its entirety? Probably.
Peter Capaldi's Departure
Alas, the most logical prediction would be that Steven will leave with his Doctor in tow. This was the way Russell's departure worked out, as he and David Tennant left the show at the same time, so it seems only sensible that the man who brought the Twelfth Doctor to life should see him through to his end. When the 'end' in question will be is a total mystery, however. But let's not dwell on the end of the Twelfth Doctor – this party's only just started!
So, will Mark Gatiss be taking over the reins at the dawn of the Thirteenth Doctor? Or can we expect a Gaiman/Roberts coalition taking control from Series 9, Episode 4? All we can be certain of is that time will tell. It always does…

It may surprise you to learn that Julian de Guzman's initial sporting passion was basketball, not football. However, by early adolescence a lack of height was already hampering his progress, so his astute father convinced him to switch to the beautiful game where his feet could do the talking. It proved an inspired decision as today De Guzman is one of the up-and-coming stars of Canadian football.
Born in Toronto to a Philippino father and Jamaican mother, de Guzman now plays play his football for Deportivo la Coruna in Spain's North-West. With younger brother Jonathan playing professionally in the Netherlands, it is quite the multicultural family. De Guzman is also something of globetrotter, having enjoyed spells in the French and German leagues before pitching up in Spain. "I've learned a lot from these changes of scene. They're each very different countries with their own brand of football. Coming in contact with different customs has made me a more rounded individual, both on and off the pitch," he tells FIFA.com.
After three seasons with Depor, he remains the only Canadian to have graced La Liga. "People find it hard to believe all right. It would be like a Spaniard playing hockey in Canada. It's great though, and I'm very proud. After all, this is one of the top leagues in the world. The attitude of the people here and their lifestyle is helping me become a more relaxed and happier person."
For his part, brother Jonathan plies his trade with Feyenoord and has opted to defend the colours of his adopted Netherlands at the Olympic Football Tournament Beijing 2008. "For now, he's very focused on the Netherlands, but he could still change his mind in the future as to who he'd like to play senior football for. I'll support him whether he opts for Canada or the Netherlands. What matters most is that he's doing very well. It's a pity I can't make it to Beijing to watch him, but I'll be following his progress on TV," the elder sibling says proudly.
Focusing on South Africa 2010
With domestic duties finished for another season, the midfielder's focus has now turned to international affairs and the upcoming challenges facing Canada. The first hurdle for the Canucks as they embark on the long road towards the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is their 15 June showdown with St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
"The first match is always crucial. We can't take this game lightly as it's a straight knockout and so they'll be giving it everything they've got. Moreover, for many of their players, this will be a one-off opportunity to achieve a big result. So, yes, they could cause us problems," says the 27-year-old.
"Our main shortcoming is that we don't get to play as often as the other CONCACAF nations, so it's imperative we approach this game with a lot of focus and preparation," he adds. For all of that, the player capped 24 times for his country has high hopes for this current generation of Canadian internationals.
"It always has and always will be difficult to reach the finals of a World Cup. However, I believe the current Canada squad is one of the best we've ever had. We've got very experienced players who have earned their spurs in Europe. It's our best chance yet to take at least the third-place spot in CONCACAF," De Guzman said defiantly.
Should they manage it, they would match the feat of the famous 1986 side who gave the country their first and only taste of FIFA World Cup football by qualifying for that year's showpiece event in Mexico. That heroic qualification coupled with the Canucks' victory in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup remain the high points to date for a country whose most popular sport is ice hockey.
The man charged with reprising past glories is new coach Dale Mitchell, who De Guzman knows from the FIFA World Youth Championship Argentina 2001, when he was assistant to Paul James. "He has a great understanding of footballers and is very close [to them]. He also has coaching experience and, while this may be a step up for him, we players have confidence in him. We also believe that when it comes to the qualifiers, his tactics and approach to the national team will make us the complete package."
Golden experience
Canadian football served notice of its newfound confidence at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, when the Canucks came very close to reaching the final. "We proved to ourselves and the rest of the world that we have a strong enough team to compete with Mexico and the USA. We continue to work very hard and will try to recapture that spirit for the World Cup qualifiers," says the man voted Canada's player of that tournament.
After a cautious start the team's confidence grew as the competition wore on, culminating in a very impressive run to the semi-finals. Indeed in their last-four game, they had the USA on the ropes before slipping to a disappointing 2-1 defeat. In spite of the result, de Guzman is keen to take some positives from the experience: "We have one of the best squads I can remember, and these players have enough quality to compete at a World Cup."
So what do the team need to do to take the next step? "Canada has a lot of talent but the entire burden rests on the shoulders of the players. We'll continue to battle on, but we need more support, better organisation and more investment," says the midfielder constructively. "If we make it to South Africa, then everyone will support us, but we really need it now to be more certain of getting there."
Few would argue that de Guzman is one of the players who inspires most confidence in the fans. In a recent poll on the English version of FIFA.com, the Canadian ranked among the CONCACAF's most-valued players. "It's an honour, because there are countless good players in the region. It's also an honour to be able to represent my country, and I hope to justify people's confidence in me by helping Canada shine in world football. Hopefully that will be by getting to the World Cup," he concludes.

News: Rockets, bombs, armor: 8th ESB trains with 2nd Tracks
Story by Lance Cpl. Sullivan Laramie
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Marines with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group trained newer members of the unit, as well as Marines with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, in the basics of demolitions during a field operation here, July 29 to 31.
The service members used expedient charges – bombs – which were made in the field using on-hand materials and C-4 explosives. Among the explosives employed were wall- and door-breaching charges, anti-personnel charges and obstacle-clearing Bangalore torpedoes.
"The Marines were getting hands-on training with the expedient demolitions," said Sgt. Daniel B. Wiggins, a combat engineer with the battalion. "[They were learning] what goes into the explosives and how they're made. They were very excited to get [hands-on training] because a lot of the Marines, especially from [2nd Tracks], don't use explosives at all so it was a good experience for them."
Following the demolition training, the Marines with 8th ESB and 2nd Tracks boarded several Assault Amphibious Vehicles and crossed the New River on their way to a range for a different type of explosive: rockets.
The service members were joined by Marines with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd MARDIV and learned to fire Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapons, or SMAWs.
"We fired about 65 rockets, which is unheard of around here," said Cpl. Jacob H. Meese, a combat engineer with 8th ESB. "We got to get together and shoot the SMAWs, which I had never even seen before. It was really cool to fire a live rocket, and I'm sure I'll never get to do that again.
Several Marines expressed a desire for further cooperative exercises to expand knowledge among all units in case one is unavailable for a particular mission.
"We would like to do more joint operations with other units," said Wiggins, a native of Zanesville, Ohio. "[Because of] the drawdowns in the Marine Corps, it's kind of hard to use our own assets so we try to incorporate other units so everyone can get mixed training."
The operation gave Marines an opportunity to share their expertise and understanding with others and build the skills of fellow service members.
"Some people don't understand much at all about [demolitions]," said Meese, a Broken Arrow, Okla., native. "It's really cool when people come up to you, ask about your [military occupational specialty] and they're really interested. To you it's normal, but to them it's a whole new world."

Will @MayorEmanuel return?
The creator of the now-infamous fake Twitter account appeared on "The Colbert Report" Tuesday, and hinted that it was possible.
Columbia College assistant journalism professor Dan Sinker admitted last week that he was behind the incredibly popular, profanity-filled account, which amused more than 39,000 people during the mayoral campaign.
Sinker said that he started the account because he thought it would be funny, but it eventually turned into an epic story of a mayoral candidate who knew he would win, joined by pal David Axelrod, Carl the Intern, Hambone the dog and Quaxelrod the duck.
After meeting Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel in person last week, Sinker headed to New York for a taping of the "Colbert Report" Tuesday.
Stephen Colbert teased Sinker, asking if he teaches journalism students how to lie, and whether people thought the account was really Emanuel's.
"If anyone did, I would kind of question their sanity," Sinker said.
"Didn't Michelle Malkin think you were real for awhile?" Colbert replied.
"Well, perhaps. But, we could question her sanity couldn't we?" Sinker said.
He also asked about the Twitter account's future. MayorEmanuel tweets stopped the day after election night, when the faux mayor-elect entered a time vortex.
"Will we ever see Mayor Emanuel again?" Colbert asked.
"Time vortexes are funny things, right?" Sinker replied.

Dining options for Valentine's Day 2010
No matter your mood or attitude, there is a menu for you
A lot of qualities have been attributed to various foods over the years. From libido-boosters to coma-inducers, different foods can alter our moods both chemically and psychologically. Various local chefs have crafted menus for Valentine's Day playing on the suggestive (and chemical) properties of food. There are tailored "His and Hers" menus at several romantic spots. For the timid there are aphrodisiacs, for the energetic there are sedatives and for the sleepy and over-worked there are stimulants. No matter your mood or attitude toward Valentine's Day, there is a menu out there that will help make the evening special.

I sense something very fishy going on here, it's clear to everyone that Ben's heart hasn't been in it this year or last year, I wonder if pramac have finally had enough.
Could we see Ben out of the team before the end of year and Max drafted in as a permanent replacement?

Elementary Education B.A. in Ed. (K-8) HU105 is a residency-based teacher preparation program of Heritage University and its partner, Educational Service District 105. Undergraduate and graduate candidates accepted into HU105 acquire and become proficient in all competencies identified by the State of Washington as important for becoming strong elementary teachers (K-8). The program also includes the endorsement area of teaching English language learners.
Candidates accepted into HU105 are assigned to a four-member teaching-learning team (TLT), each consisting of three candidates and a core teacher. Candidates are assigned to a TLT at a specific grade level within a specific school. Each TLT is responsible for the growth of K-8 students in its care. Candidates on the TLT team follow their K-8 students from one grade to the next at the end of each school year.
Candidates of HU105 follow the school year calendar of the school in which they are placed. On Wednesdays during the fall and spring semesters, candidates attend case-based seminars focused on acquiring specific knowledge related to assessment; content in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts; and performance monitoring strategies. There are no additional evening or summer courses required of HU105 students.
HU105 is available at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The undergraduate program is a four-semester schedule (fall/spring/fall/spring), and the graduate program is a three-semester schedule (fall/spring/fall OR spring/fall/spring).
Candidates of HU105 must meet all the requirements for the College of Education and Psychology's Teacher Preparation Programs and all the requirements of the State of Washington for licensure. Undergraduates must be at junior standing if current HU students or must have an AA/DTA if transferring. The tables below show the courses for which undergraduates students will register. All courses are competency based. The director of professional experiences, in tandem with the candidate and core teacher, will regularly assess competencies and enter a final grade at the end of each semester.

How do video game skills develop, and what sets the top players apart? We study this question of skill as measured by a rating generated from repeated multiplayer matches called TrueSkill. Using these ratings from 7 months of games from over 3 million players, we look at how play intensity, breaks in play, skill change over time, and other titles affect skill. These analyzed factors are then combined to model future skill and games played; the results show that skill change in early games is a useful metric for modeling future skill, while play intensity explains eventual games played. The best players in the 7-month period, who we call "Master Blasters", have varied skill patterns that often run counter to the trends we see for typical players. The data analysis is supplemented with a 70 person survey to explore how players' self-perceptions compare to the gameplay data; most survey responses align well with the data and provide explanations for the observed behavior. Finally, we wrap up with a discussion about hiding skill information from players, and implications for game designers.

UF's work on NIH "glue grant" expands to clinical studies
The University of Florida College of Medicine and its affiliate hospital Shands at UF will serve as a clinical study site through a national research consortium aiming to uncover the biological reasons why burn and traumatic injury patients often have dramatically different outcomes.
UF researchers have already been collaborating on data analysis with the national group of scientists, who are united by a 10 -year, $75 million "Glue Grant" from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Glue Grants bring together scientists from diverse fields - in this case surgery, critical care medicine, genomics, bioinformatics, immunology, engineering, and computational biology - to solve problems in biomedical science that no single laboratory could address.
The new designation expands UF's role in the large-scale research study, which is striving to find ways of predicting which patients are likely to develop complications. Funded by a four-year nearly $1.1 million grant, UF will begin enrolling patients this month.
"This is the first program to attempt to solve the life-threatening problem of inflammation following major trauma or burn injury," said UF Acute Care Surgery Director Larry C. Martin, M.D., who is a co-principal investigator.
The Glue Grant funds studies of patients with severe injuries who still have the potential to survive their trauma, said co-principal investigator David W. Mozingo, M.D., a professor of surgery and anesthesiology and director of the Shands at UF Burn Center. Mozingo will coordinate the burn segment of the study and Martin, along with UF Trauma Medical Director Lawrence Lottenberg, M.D., will coordinate the trauma section.
Lyle L. Moldawer, Ph.D., a professor and vice chairman of research for the department of surgery, said most trauma and burn patients do well after injury and have a normal recovery. But a significant number of patients fail to recover or suffer complications for reasons the doctors don't fully understand.
UF acute care surgeons will evaluate genetic and molecular markers as well as epidemiological data to help predict which patients might develop complications and the role inflammation may play. That may help physicians better determine how best to treat these patients early on, Mozingo said.
Inflammation is part of normal healing when people are severely burned or injured, but in some patients, it can be fatal, increasing the risk of infection and causing multiple organ failure. Learning how and why inflammation becomes harmful will help doctors more accurately predict how each injured patient will fare.
Researchers at UF and Shands at UF will annually enroll up to 50 patients whose injuries are severe enough to lead to possible complications yet not so severe they are unlikely to survive.
Since the study started in 2001, UF has been one of five analytical sites collecting and processing blood and tissue samples under the direction of Moldawer and Henry V. Baker, Ph.D., a professor and interim chairman of molecular genetics and microbiology. During the first five years, more than 1,500 burn and trauma patients participated nationally.
Moldawer said the addition of UF as a clinical research site is a recognition of the progress the department of surgery and Shands at UF have made in moving to a Level 1 trauma center, as well as the high quality of trauma and burn research being conducted at the university.
The overall program grant has been renewed through 2011 with the goal of understanding markers that predict patient outcomes, identifying new areas for research and determining targets for drug and other interventions. For more information visit www.gluegrant.org.

Galaxy Epoxy Flooring System
The CCS Galaxy Epoxy Flooring system is a very tough and very colourful coating for domestic and commercial interior floors. The system is custom made on site and is achieved by seeding snow flake sized pre-coloured acrylic "chips or flecks" into a epoxy resin overlay.
The result is a smooth multi coloured free flowing floor reminiscent of the galaxy – although in full colour!
Due to the highly chemical resistant resins used to encapsulate the flakes, the Galaxy floor is impervious to common stains such as oil and grease.
The system is ideal for garages,small offices, patios, bathrooms, rumpus rooms and more.
- Offers a seamless finish (without grout lines).
- Highly resistant to wear and tear.
- Water resistant.
- Clean and hygienic.
- Extremely resistant to dirt, and oils.
- Cost effective.
- Offers several designs and colour combinations to choose from.
Pricing Guideline
As a guide only, the CCS Galaxy Epoxy Flooring system costs approximately $55 per square metre for a standard fleck/flake finish and $75 per square metre for the CCS Galaxy Stonegrip finish (in S.E Qld & Northern NSW). Please note that this price can vary depending on the complexity, size and location of the project. Trained contractors/applicators can provide a firm quote.

NYC Urban Legends
by Craig Bridger, 10/17/2012
Photos: Laura Miller
Urban legends, modern man's workaday mythology, thrive in all metropolises. Most of the stories are geographically interchangeable, of course, but many of Gotham's are unique to the City—not to mention wildly entertaining. Libby Tucker, folklorist and English professor at Binghamton University in upstate New York, has a theory about that: "Legends are an index of the spirit and pride of a place," she says. "They're an indication of the spirit of the community." Consider, then, this slideshow to be a chronicle of NYC's truly original spirit, which has been spun into tales of sewer-dwelling reptiles, pirate treasure buried beside the Statue of Liberty and more. Read on for a few of our favorites.

What are keywords?
First things first! Keywords. What are they? When someone is searching for information on the web, they will usually visit a search engine (like Google, Yahoo or Bing) and type in one or more words to describe what they are looking for. The search engine then checks what matches with the database, and displays the results listed. Robots find the sites that relate to that particular keyword.
These words used by people like you and me searching are called keywords.
Where to look for keywords?
There are many ways to research what people on the internet are looking for, including full phrases. It's good practice to think as if you are the customer looking for yourself. What would you type in to try and find you? There is a free keyword tool from Google, which will tell you how many other people type in the same thing. The numbers are on a monthly basis and can go by country, region or across the globe, depending on what you need.
Writing keyword rich Content!
Once you know what people type in, you want to use as many of the high-ranking keywords, but also watch the competition. Google Keyword Tool will also tell you how much competition you have on certain keywords. Use the words in your content; the text that is displayed on your web pages. The home page (a.k.a. index page) is the most important. You should also have important keywords in your page titles. These should be different on every page, and not just your company name.

1-800 Stock-Loss & Stock Loss Recovery Lawyers
Posted By Jim On 03/26/2012 @ 7:10 am In Investing | 3 Comments
When I'm driving around in the late evenings and listening to CNBC on my Sirius XM radio, I often hear commercials for some pretty off the wall companies. The latest one to pique my interest was from 1-800-STOCK-LOSS, which promises to help callers recover their investment funds in the event of fraud. That's the basic premise anyway, the advertisement simply talks about recovering any stock loss, not pointing out that if you chose a bad investment, it's really on you. The law protects you against a Madoff type of situation, not a bonehead one in which you invest in a poorly performing company.
I won't go into the company behind 1-800 Stock Loss (their homepage, if you do a search and find it, doesn't instill much confidence because "recommendation" is spelled incorrectly) but I wanted to talk about this group of companies in general.
I'm not a lawyer so if you think a company like this could help you, I'd consult an independent lawyer or someone you trust. I kept hearing this ad over and over again so I thought I'd try to figure out what this was all about. Chances are some of the things I write below are inaccurate, so please correct me if you know better.
Stock loss recovery companies exist to protect investors from cases of actual investment fraud. Fraud comes in a variety of flavors but ultimately is the result of brokers failing their fiduciary duty. Fiduciary duty means that your broker, whom you pay for services, needs to act in your best interest. Fraud occurs when the broker fails to uphold that duty in any way, which may include withholding information, advising you to buy certain securities or offering insider information.
Those companies can't recover any type of loss. There hasn't be fraud involved. If you invest in shares of Apple [3] (I own shares of Apple) and the stock falls, you can't sue your broker because no fraud has occurred. If your broker tells you that you should invest in Apple, because he heard from an Apple accountant that pre-order sales in the new iPad have exceeded Wall Street projections, then that would be fraud. In fact, you'd get in trouble for acting on that information and not reporting it.
Remember the movie Boiler Room [4]? It's a movie about a pump and dump brokerage house, J.T. Marlin, starring Vin Diesel and Giovanni Ribisi. In that movie, the brokers would pitch clients on penny stocks with the hopes of pumping up the share price ahead of a dump. For a more real life example, consider Sky Capital Holdings [5], a life-meets-fiction version of Boiler Room. If you were the victim of that fraud, a stock loss recovery lawyer would be one mechanism by which you could try to recover your funds.
So, despite what the advertisements may promise you, unless there is actual fraud involved, you can't recover your money.
As I wrote earlier, I don't know much about this type of thing (I've thankfully never been scammed like this – knock on wood) so if I have it wrong or miss key points, please let me know!

VIDEO: NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre Speaks at Senate Hearing on Gun Violence, Says 'Law-Abiding Gun Owners Won't Accept Blame for Acts of Deranged Criminals'
Moments ago, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre spoke at a Senate hearing on gun violence. He stressed the need to enforce gun laws that currently exist rather than drafting new ones.
"Proposing more gun laws while failing to enforce the thousands we already have – it's not a serious solution for reducing crime," he said.

He expressed the need to fix America's broken mental health care system. "Law-abiding gun owners will not accept blame for the acts of violent, deranged criminals," LaPierre said.
He concluded, "We love our families, we love our country, we believe in freedom, and we're the millions from all walks of life who take responsibility for our safety and protection."

California court gives clerks OK to ignore state marriage amendment
The California Supreme Court on Tuesday said state clerks could continue issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. The court denied a San Diego clerk's request to stay same-sex marriage licenses until the fate of Prop 8 is finally decided in state courts. The court previously denied a similar petition from the proponents of Proposition 8, the voter-passed state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
Despite denying the stay, the state Supreme Court is still considering the clerk's petition and one other on the legal status of Prop 8. The U.S. Supreme Court didn't decide the issue last month, instead declaring the taxpayer group defending the amendment had no standing in federal court. That meant the only valid ruling on Prop 8 was at the District Court level. A District Court judge threw out Prop 8, but that ruling only technically applied to the couples in the case.
The taxpayers, as well as the county clerk, argued that because the District Court-level ruling didn't apply to the whole state, Prop 8 should still be the law of the land. State officials argued they could order clerks to issue licenses for gay couples based on the District Court ruling, which they said could be applied statewide.
The state Supreme Court sided with state officials. But that's not the end of the Prop 8 battle: The court must sort out the law's standing after the state attorney general refused to defend it. The taxpayer group is continuing to defend the law in state court because the U.S. Supreme Court ruling denying them standing only applied to federal courts.

According to The Hedge Fund Journal's listing of the 50 largest European hedge funds, Brevan Howard surpassed Man Group as Europe's largest hedge fund firm with approximately $40 billion in assets under management. Man Group, based in London, was knocked out of the top spot after its assets under management fell to $35.6 billion.
