DETROIT, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Dan Akerson, who retired as chief executive of General Motors Co, on Wednesday, urged his replacement and others at the No.1 U.S. automaker to avoid the decades of short-term thinking that led to its 2009 bankruptcy.
Akerson, who was replaced on Wednesday by the industry's first female CEO, Mary Barra, told a roomful of industry executives that GM was no longer "fragile" and has the strength to succeed, but needs to maintain changes such as a competitive labor cost structure as it moves forward.
"That's one of the things I tried to stress: When we make a decision today let's make it and ask what are the successors going to think of us in 2043, when we look out 30 years," he said.
Akerson said at an Automotive News conference held in conjunction with the Detroit auto show that the seeds of GM's bankruptcy were sewn in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. He took the CEO job in 2010 before GM's re-emergence as a public company because he believed it could be turned around.
The automotive industry in the past was run by executives with bigger-than-life personalities, but Akerson said he never tried to mirror them.
"I want to be able to look back at this company in 2020, 2025 and 2030 when I'm really old and say I was part of that success," he said, "and I hope Mary is gangbusters successful and my name fades to black."
Barra was treated like a star during the early days of the auto show this week with media cameras shadowing her every move, but Akerson said she would not let the attention distract her.
"She's a well-balanced, very self-aware individual," he said. "She'll do fine. She's not going to somehow lose it because her picture is on the front page of a magazine."
Some critics have pointed out that the U.S. government ended up with a $10 billion loss on its $49.5 billion bailout of GM, but Akerson pointed out that the company has invested that much in plants and jobs in the country.
Akerson, who retired earlier than expected to spend time with his wife who is fighting cancer, said his goal when he took the CEO job was to make the company profitable again, get it back into the Standard & Poor's 500 index, repay the government, see the U.S. Treasury exit its stake, and reinstate a dividend. GM completed that list with the Tuesday announcement it would pay its first dividend in six years.
Akerson said GM's U.S. pension deficit was now about a quarter of the $26 billion it was when he took over.
He also said he was optimistic about the money-losing Opel unit in Europe, which gained market share in that region last year for the first time in 14 years. GM has said it is targeting a return to break-even financials in that business by mid-decade.
The former CEO said GM still needs to build its brand image, suggesting if a BMW logo was put on the Chevrolet Impala sedan it would be worth $10,000 to $20,000 more.
Akerson also said GM needed to maintain competitive labor costs in North America. He had been asked whether GM needed to retain the two-tier wage structure, that pays newer hires at a far lower pay level, for its blue-collar workforce.
His comments come ahead of 2015 labor contract talks between the United Auto Workers union and the U.S. Detroit automakers.

DETROIT - CC Sabathia pitched seven scoreless innings and Jayson Nix homered off Justin Verlander in the three-run second, lifting the New York Yankees to a 7-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
The Yankees (2-4) avoided a sweep and dropping to their worst six-game record since starting the 1989 season 1-7.
New York's ace had a lot to do with helping his team get the much-needed win.
Sabathia (1-1) gave up four hits and three walks while striking out four in 114 pitches, bouncing back from a dreadful opening-day start.
Verlander (1-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks.
The Yankees got all the run support they needed in the second inning when Francisco Cervelli hit an RBI double and Nix followed with a two-run, two-out homer to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead.
Yankees reliever David Robertson entered the game in the eighth and got out of a two-on, one-out jam by getting Victor Martinez to hit a fly to shallow center and Matt Tuiasosopo to strike out. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth, drawing some cheers after he was honored in a pregame ceremony for his planned retirement. Rivera gave up two hits and ended the game by striking out Torii Hunter.
The Yankees got all the run support they needed in the second inning when Francisco Cervelli hit an RBI double and Nix followed with a two-run, two-out homer to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead.
Phil Coke replaced Verlander with one out and nobody on base in the seventh, and let the Yankees score two more runs -- on Ichiro Suzuki's sacrifice fly and Cervelli's single -- for a five-run cushion. Kevin Youkilis made it 7-0 with a two-run single off Octavio Dotel.
After losing the first two games in Detroit by a combined score of 16-7, the Yankees put a strong performance together at the plate on the mound and in the field.
New York has opened the season by winning two series finales to avoid being swept. The Tigers are off to a 3-3 start.

The depicter of Letty has been confirmed by Paul Walker to be back reprising her particular role in the fourth installment of the car racing franchise.
The tough teenage girl in "Girlfight" Michelle Rodriguez will be reprising her role of Letty in the fourth installment of the "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, "Untitled Fast and the Furious Sequel". Hollyscoop.com reported that the 29-year-old actress' co-star Paul Walker has outed her return to the film.
Walker told the entertainment site about the return of Rodrigues at the premiere of "Never Back Down" in Los Angeles on March 4 when he was asked whether he will be back for the fourth film. Apart from confirming his and Rodriguez's return, the 34-year-old actor also revealed that Vin Diesel and Jordana Brewster will also reprise their characters. On the occasion, he also confessed that he is persuading Tyrese Gibson to join the cast once more. The video of the interview can be seen below.
Earlier, it was reported that the former Miss Israel Gal Gadot is in talks with Diesel to join the rest of the film's cast. However, her involvement in the project has yet to be confirmed. In the meantime, "Fast and Furious 4" has been set to be directed by Justin Lin, the helmer of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" and "Annapolis". It is slated for June 5, 2009 release.
Rodriguez was known for the tough characters she portrayed in many of the feature film she appeared, including in "Blue Crush", "S.W.A.T." and "Resident Evil". She has also made a guest appearance in famous television series "Lost". Her other latest project will be James Cameron's "Avatar", which will bow in theaters on December 18, 2009, starring also Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana.

A young servant girl falls under the charms of a magus. She becomes entranced in his presence, forsaking her mother and would-be suitor.
Andrew E.
Fred Gwynne is excellent in this one. No stuttering, blustering, or shouting, which for me, tend to bring on memories of his Herman Munster character. Here he is slow, controlled, ominous and eerie. Listen to this one at night by candlelight. Chills!
Great episode. Fred Gwynne really nails his performance in this one. I got lucky enough that it was storming outside as I listened to this tale in bed. Perfect atmosphere for this creepy story!
Fred Gwynne hits it out of the park yet again with this one, playing a strange man who fancies himself a great magus. Well, he doesn't just "fancy" himself one; he is one. And he has a servant woman whose daughter becomes enraptured by him. Very eerie and creepy, this one is among my favorites.
A self-impressed magus takes a servant girl as his understudy, effectively ruining the girl for regular life and greatly disappointing all who know her.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent Thursday evening a personal message to the Iraqi people and Saddam Hussein in a direct broadcast to Iraq. Blair recorded an interview with Radio Monte Carlo, the most popular radio station broadcasting into Iraq.
"The Prime Minister took the opportunity to speak directly to Saddam, to the Iraqi people and the wider Arab world," said Blair's official spokesman, according to British media reports.
According to a transcript of the broadcast released by Blair's office, he said "One of the reasons I wanted to speak to you today is to communicate with people directly, because what happens in a situation like this is that there are myths that grow up."
"He stressed this was not about oil or religion. It was about weapons of mass destruction and said Saddam's duty is to co-operate with the United Nations, but the choice is his. He could disarm peacefully or by force," added Blair's spokesman.
"The Prime Minister went on to note the suffering of the Iraqi people, saying their talents and skill and their country's natural resources, mean it should be a prosperous country and that standards of living in Iraq would be far higher if Saddam were not spending money on weapons of mass destruction and presidential palaces.
"The Prime Minister recalled the excellent relations there used to be between our two countries and said he wanted to get back to that good bilateral relationship.
"He also set out the UK's position on the situation in the Middle East, stressing our determination to work for a solution giving Israel security alongside a viable Palestinian state." (Albawaba.com)

"It's archaic and horrible and I want it to stop."
I know exactly how Sarah McLachlan (for these are her words on the subject of the seal hunt) feels. I have felt precisely the same, down to the very syllables, if I may put it that way, whenever I have fallen within ear-hurt of a folk music concert. Lord, years ago, how common they were, whining on about - well, I'm not going to start the list. They whined on about everything. That's what folk singers did. They whined. Three chords on an out-of-tune flat-top guitar and whine.
They looked serious, so serious - and sad, so sad - and they whined. I remember distinctly, over and over again, whenever the mischiefs of fate decreed that I be dragged to a folk music concert, or lived too close to some of the poor addicts of the form, whenever Dylan or Donovan (oh God, still the memory - Donovan) held the car radio hostage or the dreaded triple-headed Demogorgon Peter, Paul and Mary blistered the eardrums and sank my soul - I remember my piercing outcry: "It's archaic and horrible and I want it to stop."
No one listened to me, of course. Why should they? Who was I, after all, to call a halt to such a tidal wave of whining twaddle? Others, obviously but inexplicably, liked it. C'est la vie.
I was sick of John (Steel-Drivin' Man) Henry, sick of This Land is Your Land , and sick to the very heart every time some dopey-eyed, long-haired sad sack, guitar in hand, came out on some television variety show to bleat about Michael rowing that damn boat ashore. And what else, precisely, was he going to do with it? All boats, eventually, having been rowed out from shore, are rowed back to it.
It was all so archaic and horrible and, Lord, did I want it to stop. But it didn't, and I never really expected it would or, for that matter, should. Other people liked this stuff and, it is dimly possible, still do. So my feelings on the matter have no special standing, and I sure as hell wouldn't take advantage of some public occasion - say, a Canada Day celebration - to elevate my private taste to public protest, hijack a moment of the nation's birthday to bleat about a "personal" cause.
Sarah McLachlan, obviously, is not as much of a fan of diversity as I am. She came to Canada Day wearing a PETA T-shirt. Whatever else PETA is, most sensible people will agree it is tasteless, vulgar and vile. It has had some of the very crudest and most insensitive exercises in the history of so-called protest, of which I will cite only "the Holocaust on your plate" campaign, which, in my judgment, reached the level of a blasphemy against the memory of the six million Jewish people exterminated in Hitler's death camps.
How crude that was you may easily measure for yourself: It featured a picture of a starving man in a concentration camp next to the picture of a starving cow. I wrote "crude" just now, but that word is far too feeble to convey the abject, garish viciousness of such a juxtaposition. A PETA T-shirt, as this example demonstrates, is not the banner of a serious moral sensibility.
Once again, Ms. McLachlan's own words on the seal hunt this Canada Day are far more descriptive of PETA's outrages than anything she is protesting. "Perverse and sick" is how she described the hunt. Well, I'm not so sure. Exploiting the memory of six million dead for cheap publicity, putting a "cow" in any equivalence with history's greatest crime, that is "perverse and sick."
Actually, I think putting on a PETA T-shirt might be one signal that you've surrendered any moral leverage you may vaguely possess to lecture anyone about anything. And calling the traditional lifeline of some of Canada's northern aboriginals "perverse and sick" might suggest the person doing the calling is less familiar with the concepts of tolerance and diversity than most would hope. As does slandering those on the East Coast who have found the hunt a needed resource for more than a century and a half.
But Ms. McLachlan does have Pamela Anderson in her corner - and what is time and native culture against that bulwark? A queen of soft-core porn and PETA: There's an alliance.
Ms. McLachlan could learn a lot on this issue from a far more worthy source. Our own Governor-General, who, by her gesture of respect to the hunt a near month ago, showed more class and understanding than PETA and its camera-hungry devotees - on Canada Day or any other - can ever hope to approach.
And, yeah, pushing the cause on Canada Day was just tacky.

three Policies of a Coronary heart Balanced Diet plan
Have you ever resolved to drop a number of pounds, carried out the diet, and afterwards after you went again to standard consuming, you gained back almost everything you experienced lost, as well as somewhat? Certainly you've because our genetic code is in level of competition with our health and great seems. This diet regime reverses cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disorder and arthritis among the other modern-day ailments. You will discover only 3 guidelines. gundry md vital reds When you are living by them, you are going to stay with restored health. I desired to share this with you since I have experienced an just about miraculous transformation in below two weeks.
Dr. Steven Gundry has pieced together the parts of the Dr. Atkins eating plan as well as Stillman or higher protein eating plans, into a thing that resembles the Zone diet program in lots of strategies, but that's based on our genetic code and is also far less complicated to make use of.
This diet plan is really a important modify to the majority of people, even to vegetarians, but the positive aspects are going to be so immediately recognized that it's going to be quick to continue to remain on it. In nine days, I have reduced my systolic strain 30 factors and my dyastolic pressure by ten details. I have permit go of nine pounds. My "stiff", perhaps arthritic ankle is smaller sized, soreness no cost and isn't going to swell at the end of a fast paced day. I truly feel as if I've dropped nine many years, while in the nine days, and that i have accomplished this just approximating the diet, as I moved towards the food plan right.
It manufactured quite a lot of feeling to me when he defined the fantastic apes, our close kin, try to eat about sixteen pounds of environmentally friendly leaves every day, and also have 3% human body body fat and no coronary artery sickness and no heart problems and no arthritis and no diabetic issues. Obviously this can be a coronary heart healthful diet plan.
For some time, I have been wanting to know why ADHD which was scarce after i was youthful, jumped to impacting just about half the population in some parts. Why, when my grandparents era worked or functioned into their late 60's or 70's until finally they died, are middle aged people today in their 40's and 50's turning out to be disabled? Our consumption of veggies has dropped to 5%. We've been not working with a heart wholesome eating plan.
Many will inform you with the miracles of modern medication. Men and women can be living more time, but it won't seem to me which they live at the same time. It really is killer genes performing us in, and we're eating a diet that turns them on. But, there is certainly a way to cease these ailments and also to fully restore wellbeing. It's very simple, and needs adhering to 3 fundamental policies.

Carnival Freedom! Western Caribbean Cruise: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by peachiecruiser
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Freedom! Western Caribbean Cruise
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation: Embarkation was very easy. We checked in at the "new" terminal. The More new terminal looked more like a terminal in an airport rather than a terminal in a seaport. They called us up to get in line by zones and this was a much better idea than just allowing everyone to flood the lines. I was on the ship in about 25 minutes from the time we entered into the terminal. GREAT!
Ship Info: Freedom is the newest ship in the Conquest class. Carnival has a tendency, to me, to be a bit over-the-top with its decorations and designs. To be honest, I wasn't overly excited by the faux orange snake-skin but it also wasn't enough to make me think twice about it. The state rooms were much bigger than I remembered or expected. My cabin number was 1339 and for some reason, I didn't realize that that meant that I would be on the Riviera deck- the first floor! I have NEVER stayed on the first floor and I was a little nervous as I am a faithful dramamine user. Back to the staterooms- there were three of us that stayed in the room and to my surprise (pleasant), none of the beds were bunk beds. The room was nice. The tv was a flat screen. The only thing that I did not like about the staterooms was the fact that the bathroom always smelled like a public bathroom :-( We were three very clean females, but it always smelled un-fresh (even when our room steward- ORLANDO!!!)cleaned it. By the way, our room steward was good, not great. He did keep our room clean, but he didn't do very many towel animals and if you like that sort of thing, you might be disappointed. Orlando definitely did his job, but he did not go above and beyond.
Activities: There are so many activities to get into on this cruise ship. Actually, many times, we had plans to attend the wine tasting, art auction, etc. however, the first couple of days we spent time catching up on sleep that we sorely needed. Also, at night there were several shows, "R"-rated comedians, and such but I never went to any of those except the Tribute to New Orleans show. It was good, but I am not really one for those types of shows. My two girlfriends thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a "past-guest reception", which was great. We were sent invitations and since all three of us have cruised with Carnival before, we were all invited. The reception included a hors d'oeuvres (which were decent) and cocktails (good but not strong) and the servers kept the drinks flowing. I also found out that after cruising with Carnival for the 100th time, you "win" a free cruise with Carnival. There was actually a woman who had cruised with Carnival 44 times- Wow! It put my little 3 times to shame.
Service: Service was generally very consistent. There were a couple of times that I got lost, but I just asked the nearest Carnival employee and they either told me or took me to where I needed to be. The photographers were really good too. Several times Emmanuel gave us personal "photo shoots", taking about 10 pictures per person and he did this for EVERYONE. Of course, I didn't buy most of the pictures taken because the 8X11's were $21.99. Shore Excursions: We took advantage of one shore excursion booked through Carnival and that was in St. Maarten. We went snorkeling in Shipwreck Cove. This was my first time EVER snorkeling and so, I was very nervous- to say the least. The guides were understanding and silly and definitely made the entire excursion fun. The excursion was $54 for three and a half hours and I thought that this was very reasonably priced. On the way back to the port, we were given a water tour of the Dutch side of the island and we were given complimentary rum punch (yummy).
In St. Thomas, we did our "own thing" and caught a local taxi to Coki beach. It was a cheap ride and the beach was beautiful.
Puerto Rico was definitely a place for walking. I loved the feeling of the old world style roads. I really think that for the area, Puerto Rico is a place that could be discovered by foot. Save the $5 and get some exercise in. I was disappointed in the fact that we didn't get to PR until 5. I guess that is where the cruise ship experience didn't suffice. The next time, I will have to fly to Puerto Rico.
Dining: I consider myself somewhat of an amateur food connoisseur. I know what I like and when I find what I like, I like lots of it. I would say that Carnival was very uneven on the food this time. I know that overall, Carnival does offer the best food for the value. But, this time, I was a little disappointed. Breakfast in the main dining room was good except there was no change. Everyday the options were the same, which could get redundant (at best). Buffet style on the lido deck was so-so. I kept to my routine and got danishes/croissants, omelettes, and grapefruit. Everything else was just not that great. The potatoes were soggy, there was no option of turkey bacon or sausage. Lunch was pretty much the same, except there was lots of variety. Mediocre variety, at best. There was stir-fry line that allowed you to pick your noodles, your vegetables, and your meats and then have them stir-fried in a sauce (that was generally very salty). the line was 40 minutes (literally) and the food was alright, better than what else I could have eaten. The stateroom service was HORRIBLE. The wait was always 30-45 minutes and when I got the food, it was not good.
Supper Club: This was the best $30 that I could have spent. The service was excellent. The food was delectable and it really was superior quality. I had lobster bisque and crab cake for an appetizer. I had the ceasar salad (made tableside). For my entree, I had the surf and turf- 4 oz. filet mignon and lobster tail with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with wasabe horseradish. For dessert, I had the fresh fruits and berries with homemade sherbert. We ordered a bottle of wine which complemented the meal superbly. All-in-all, I was very impressed and the next time that I sail, I will definitely take advantage of this a couple of evenings.
Disembarkation: LONG!Because I was on the 1st floor, I was one of the last to disembark. We were number 31 (out of 36)-as they disembark by zone numbers instead of colors. When I was talking to my dinner mates, a couple were taking advantage of the "take your own luggage off the ship" and the rest were doing it the old fashioned way. When I mentioned that we were 31- one person said, "I didn't know the numbers went that high". We knew that we were in for a long wait the next morning. We got up and had breakfast on the lido deck one last time. Then two and a half hours later, we were allowed to disembark. Although I was not a happy camper, our flight didn't leave Miami until 5:30, so we had nothing but time. If I had someplace else to be or a flight to catch, this would have been a much bigger problem.
Spa: On the second day, all three of us took advantage of the spa specials that were going on. I got a 50 minute full-body massage, a facial, and a scalp massage for $130. This was the first time that I had gotten a massage on the cruise ship, but the therapist did a very good job. The room was minimalistic, the music was soothing. The sauna was hot and did its job. The whirpool was not hot enough for my taste and the jets were a little overwhelming. I could only stand to be there for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time.
Overall, I enjoyed the cruise. This was my first 7-day cruise and I think that it was the perfect cruise time. Out of 10 stars, I would give this cruise an 8. If the food was better, it could be a 9. The older that I get, the more I'm into luxury and being pampered. The ports of call were excellent, and it was a much needed vacation! Less

A senior North Korean official will visit the United States this week to discuss the possible resumption of long-stalled international negotiations on ending Pyongyang's nuclear programs, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday.
The news that diplomats could be close to reviving six-nation disarmament talks that broke off in 2008 comes after more than a year of animosity and high tension between the rival Koreas and raises hopes in a region on edge. Two attacks Seoul blames on Pyongyang last year killed 50 South Koreans and led to threats of war.
Clinton's invitation for North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan to visit New York follows a crucial meeting Friday between nuclear negotiators from North and South Korea on the sidelines of a regional forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in Bali. It was the first such meeting since disarmament talks collapsed in 2008, and the envoys agreed to work toward the resumption of six-nation negotiations.
The recent diplomacy comes after more than a year of hardline unity by Washington and Seoul since international investigators said a North Korean torpedo sank a South Korean warship in March of last year, killing 46 sailors. The South demanded the North show regret for the warship sinking and an artillery attack on a front-line South Korean island that killed four in November.
North Korea denies a role in the sinking and says South Korea provoked the island shelling. While refusing to apologize, however, Pyongyang has repeatedly shown a willingness to return to the disarmament talks. The North is seen as needing a diplomatic breakthrough and outside food aid ahead of the 2012 centennial of the birth of the country's founder, Kim Il Sung.
"We are open to talks with North Korea, but we do not intend to reward the North just for returning to the table," Clinton said in a statement announcing Kim Kye Gwan's trip to the U.S. "We will not give them anything new for actions they have already agreed to take. And we have no appetite for pursuing protracted negotiations that will only lead us right back to where we have already been."
The wariness is in line with past U.S. statements that ally Seoul must be satisfied with the North's sincerity before Washington will act.
In another sign of easing tensions, South Korea said Monday that it has approved flour aid to North Korea for the first time since last year's artillery attack. Seoul has provided basic, small-scale humanitarian aid in recent months, but flour had been excluded because of worries about it being used to feed the military.
Traveling with Clinton in Hong Kong, the top U.S. diplomat for Asia, Kurt Campbell, insisted that the talks were preliminary and aimed at laying out steps the United States must see before resuming the nuclear negotiations or having a "more fulsome interaction" with North Korea.
Campbell stressed that the United States would need to see much more from North Korea on improving ties with the South and rejected suggestions that U.S. is now on a "fast track" to returning to the talks. "We need to see many more indications from the North Koreans before we approach that point," he told reporters.
During Kim's trip, he will meet with a team of U.S. officials to explore his country's commitment to returning to the international talks and taking concrete steps toward disarmament, Clinton said in the statement.
It was unclear what days Kim, the North's former chief nuclear envoy, will visit New York. The announcement follows an earlier meeting between Clinton and the foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan in Bali.
The nuclear negotiations involve the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia.
North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun said in comments released Sunday by the country's state media that the Korean peninsula now stands "on the crossroads of detente and the vicious cycle of escalating tension."
The countries involved, Pak said, must "make the best use of (the) opportunity of dialogue and make a bold decision to settle the fundamental issue."
Diplomats have been eager for the two rivals to ease tensions.
Since the last round of talks, North Korea has conducted a second nuclear test and revealed a uranium enrichment facility that could give it another way to make atomic bombs.
Recent North Korean threats against Seoul's conservative government include a pledge to retaliate over South Korean soldiers' use of pictures of the ruling North Korean family for target practice.
The two Koreas remain in a technical state of war because their three-year conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, in 1953. The United States has 28,500 troops in the South. That presence is cited by the North as a main factor behind its need to build a nuclear program.
Klug reported from Seoul, South Korea.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/12/2012 (1712 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW ORLEANS -- In a sharp rebuke to his successor's handling of the NFL's bounty investigation, former commissioner Paul Tagliabue overturned the suspensions of four current and former New Orleans Saints players in a case that has preoccupied the league for almost a year.
Tagliabue, appointed by commissioner Roger Goodell to handle the appeals, still found three of the players engaged in conduct detrimental to the league. He said they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays, including bone-jarring hits, that could merit fines. But he stressed that Saints coaches were very much involved. The entire case, he said, "has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization."
The team's "coaches and managers led a deliberate, unprecedented and effective effort to obstruct the NFL's investigation," the ruling said.
Tagliabue oversaw a second round of player appeals to the league in connection with the cash-for-hits program run by former defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams from 2009-2011. The players initially opposed Tagliabue's appointment.
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma had been given a full-season suspension, while defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove each received shorter suspensions.
Tagliabue cleared Fujita of conduct detrimental to the league.
"I affirm commissioner Goodell's factual findings as to the four players. I conclude that Hargrove, Smith and Vilma -- but not Fujita -- engaged in 'conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football.'
"However, for the reasons set forth in this decision, I now vacate all discipline to be imposed upon these players. Although I vacate all suspensions, I fully considered, but ultimately rejected, reducing the suspensions to fines of varying degrees for Hargrove, Smith and Vilma. My affirmation of commissioner Goodell's findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines. However... this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints organization."
Saints quarterback Drew Brees offered his thoughts on Twitter: "Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back."
None of the players sat out any games because of suspensions. They have been allowed to play while appeals are pending, though Fujita is on injured reserve and Hargrove is not with a team.
Shortly before the regular season, the initial suspensions were thrown out by an appeals panel created by the league's collective bargaining agreement. Goodell then reissued them, with some changes, and now those have been dismissed.
"We respect Mr. Tagliabue's decision, which underscores the due process afforded players in NFL disciplinary matters," the NFL said in a statement.
"The decisions have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program in violation of league rules for three years, that the program endangered player safety, and that the commissioner has the authority under the (NFL's collective bargaining agreement) to impose discipline for those actions as conduct detrimental to the league."

- How to Read a Study Record
In developed countries, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis, afflicting about 5,000 persons annually in the United States. Over 20% of GBS patients have permanent residual motor deficits that affect their activities of daily living.
The goal of this study is to assess the potential usefulness and safety of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) in those patients who suffer chronic functional deficits from GBS.This medication is a potassium channel blocker that has the potential to improve nerve conduction, particularly across partially demyelinated axons. It is felt that by increasing nerve conduction there will be improved motor performance for walking and activities of daily living, as well as decreased fatiguability. This medication has demonstrated potential usefulness in central demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.Because the peripheral nervous system is much more accessible to systemic medication delivery it is felt that this medication may improve the functional status of those patients who are suffering from the residual side effects of this medication.

Kent State University's men's basketball team saw its season come to an end Monday night in the first round of the MId-American Conference tournament.
A late Kent State run fell short as the Golden Flashes lost 71-64 loss to Miami University in Oxford.
The Flashes trailed by 13 points twice in the second half, but Devareaux Manley hit two contested 3s and Kris Brewer found success by attacking the rim as Kent State pulled all the way back to within two points in the closing minutes.
Manley and Brewer both had open looks in transition from three-point range to leapfrog into the lead, but when both shots just missed, the door was open for the RedHawks to advance to the MAC Tournament's second round.
The loss closed Kent State's season at 16-16.
Meanwhile, Kent State's women's team's season also came to a close Monday night in the opening round of the MAC tournament, as Ball State (15-15, 9-9 MAC) won 73-38.
KSU finished 7-23 overall and 4-14 in the MAC.

GARY Bowyer and Terry McPhillips have almost miraculously bought Venky's some time to sort out the mess that is Blackburn Rovers Football Club. They now need to take it.
Choosing the right manager is obviously a decision they need to get right – for once – but, with the caretaker duo handling the situation admirably, there is another major issue that needs to be sorted first.
How on earth is the club expected to run smoothly when the people charged with controlling it on a day-to-day basis at Ewood Park can't agree on anything?
The division between operations director Paul Agnew and managing director Derek Shaw on one side and global advisor Shebby Singh on the other is obvious to all and there can be do doubt it is harming the club.
During Tuesday's impressive 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, Singh even situated himself in a private box to snub Agnew and Shaw, as the pair returned from their crisis talks in India.
Only they can know what the differences of opinion are about and fans will have their own opinions on who is in the wrong and who is in the right.
Forget 'Team Singh' or Team 'Shaw and Agnew' though, Venky's have to bang a few heads together to get them working as a team.
If that is impossible, they need to take immediate action and make the necessary changes.
At the moment, it is almost as though the players and the coaches have got two bosses and they don't know which one's word is god.
Some players, who want to remain unnamed, agree the current situation is untenable and believe there needs to be some drastic action taken to sort it out.
It was 'team work' from top to bottom that saw Blackburn Rovers enjoy the glory years.
Sure, there were differences in opinion along the way, but you always got the feeling everyone was pulling in the same direction.
Not once have you got that feeling under Venky's.
It has been like a revolving door with power struggles the name of the game and bringing complete confusion to the club.
Venky's have consistently failed to get the right structure and personnel at the top of the club and they continue to do so.
Until they sort that, it doesn't matter who they get in is a manager or what players they sign, the club will always be in chaos.
Stability is desperately needed and that is impossible with things the way they are now.

After taking on some European countries, Chris Hemsworth is back 'home' to promote his superhero film.
Australia, where actor Chris Hemsworth was native to, staged the first world premiere of "Thor". Held at Sydney's Event Cinemas George Street on Sunday, April 17, the premiere was attended by most of the main cast except for Natalie Portman who is heavily pregnant with her first child, and Anthony Hopkins.
Supporting Hemsworth were co-stars Jaimie Alexander, who plays Thor's childhood friend named Sif and Tom Hiddleston who plays the villain Loki, as well as director Kenneth Branagh. A number of Australian and European celebrities such as Eva Simons, Esther Anderson and Damian Walshe-Howling also walked the red carpet.
Speaking to Daily Telegraph before the screening, Hemsworth described how it feels like to portray a lovable comic book superhero for the first time. "It was rather big shoes to fill, a daunting thing to walk into, but I had the support of Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Kenneth Branagh," the actor said. "Playing any sort of character with that kind of support is certainly a benefit."
But the actor, who started in soap "Neighbors", got the full approval from the director. "He has got the ease and grace of a natural movie star," Branagh gushed.
Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, is sent down to Earth as punishment for reigniting a reckless war. But after a dangerous villain from his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth, the hammer-wielding Thor will learn what it takes to be a true hero in order to save mankind. "Thor" opens in theaters nationwide on May 6.
The Australian premiere was not the first promotional appearance made by Hemsworth. He previously attended photo calls in Munich, Germany and Madrid, Spain.

DIEHARD Hereford United fan Ian Whale will be putting his foot down to raise vital funds for the Bulls.
Whale will be taking part in a 1,100 mile motorcycle ride from May 28-31.
He will be visiting every Premier League ground armed with a United shirt that he hopes will be signed by someone at each club.
Whale then plans to auction the shirt off with proceeds going to the Bulls' fighting fund.
"Being born and bred in the city, Hereford United has always been a special club for me," said Whale, who lives in Holmer.
"The club is an integral part of the city and it has given Herefordians many memories over the years.
"I hope that this ride will go some way towards the Bulls' cause."
Whale is hoping that local businesses and petrol stations can help with his fuel costs during the journey.
If you can help, you can call him on 07923 328816 or email Lee Symonds at firstname.lastname@example.com
Meanwhile, Bulls fans Jack James and Kristina Guntulyte will be walking the Miners Trace on Mount Snowdon next month to raise money for the Hereford United Supporters Trust (HUST).
The aim of the trek on Sunday, June 29 will be to increase the shareholding of HUST at the club and to give supporters "a bigger voice".
The pair will also make a contribution to the United in the Community scheme towards the away travel of the youth team next season after HUST took over the running of it last term, as well as making a donation to their charity, the Adam Stansfield Foundation.

Lowerhouse name a squad of 12 – but there is no Jonathan Finch, who misses out due to work commitments.
Key Man: Joe McLuskie
Donlan says: Lowerhouse
Church v Rawtenstall
Church are missing Muhammad Jamil for their meeting with Rawtenstall at West End so Joel Gaskell comes in. Lloyd Aspin will look to maintain his impressive start to life in the Lancashire League.

Key Man: Levi Wolfenden
Donlan says: Church
Haslingden v Burnley
Haslingden lost both their games last weekend as they finally took to the field after a delayed start to the campaign and Graham Knowles will be keen to see his men get off the mark in the game at Bentgate.
Burnley select from a squad for the clash and their chairman and vastly experienced former Middlesex and Surrey man Michael Brown is included and adds depth to the side.
Key Man: Graham Knowles
Donlan says: Haslingden
Nelson v Rishton
Nelson captain Neil Thompson was delighted with his men as they performed well in their win at Burnley on Bank Holiday. They bounced back from the defeat to Enfield in style in that game. Toqir Hussain comes in for Chris Willan.
Rishton are boosted by the return of their former amateur star Richard Rostron for the trip to Seedhill and pro Dan Salpietro looks the real deal.
Key Man: Richard Meade
Donlan says: Nelson
Ramsbottom v Todmorden
Andy Hakin is fit again after injury forced him out of last Monday's win over Haslingden. The bowler returns to the Ramsbottom side.

Muscle loss as we age
I am 50 and in decent shape--run/weight train/etc. Since i was busy raising kids/working for so many years i let all of this slide. Since i am back in shape again i notice "flab" in places i don`t like. I wouldn`t consider this fat. Is this muscle loss that will never come back? Can i tone these areas or is this flab something i now have to live with.
Congratulations on getting back in shape! Yes, one can tone muscles and build endurance with strength training and cardiovascular conditioning.
The American Council on Exercise (2003) states that "muscle mass declines with age, resulting in decreased muscular strength and endurance". "For each decade after the age of 25, 3-5 % of muscle mass is lost". This is due to changes in lifestyle and decreased use of the neuromuscular system. However, studies have shown significant strength gains in previously sedentary older adults following a program of regular exercise.
The deposit of adipose tissue in the body can be genetically predetermined. Therefore, a dramatic transformation of these areas may be out of your control. But you will most definitely have more energy and feel better about yourself!

Most employers, graduate schools, and professional schools will want to see more than just a transcript before you are hired or accepted; they will probably ask for some letters of recommendation and a resume. Even as a freshman, you should start thinking about how you would hope these documents might read when you graduate. In fact, you may need them for summer positions even sooner. You will be given advice on how to prepare resumes, write cover letters, and interview for a job in a variety of classes and workshops before you graduate. For now, here are a few important ideas.
Asking for a Letter of Recommendation
Writing letters of recommendation is an important and rewarding part of our jobs. We are happy to help. However, there are several things you can do to make the process easier. What follows are some general guidelines; some professors may have more specific ones:
- Give as much lead time as possible.
- Let us know of any deadlines and don't hesitate to call with a reminder.
- Give us information about you.
- Provide a transcript and at least a rough draft of a resume or a list of academic and extracurricular activities.
- The more we know about you, the better job we can do.
- Give us information about the position or school to which you are applying. Let us know why you are interested in this position or school.
- Provide an address with a specific individual's name (when possible) and specific program name.
- If a form is included:
- Complete the portion that is your responsibility
- Sign the waiver (if one is provided). Recommendation forms generally include a place for the student to sign that waives his/her right to look at the letter in the future. We recommend that you waive this right since the letter is often considered to be more reliable.
- You do not need to include an envelope. We will use letterhead paper.
For Your Information: What Goes Into a Letter of Recommendation?
Since the person or committee that reviews your application generally knows what your grades are, they are looking for information beyond comments on classroom performance. Here are a few areas that are usually addressed
- Writing and speaking skills
- Dedication to the field or job
- Mastery of subject matter
- Initiative
- Ability to solve problems
- Integrity / Maturity
- Ability to work independently
- Creativity / Ingenuity
- Ability to work with others
- Reliability / Punctuality

ROB Best ran in the decisive fourth try as Wimborne registered an injury-time bonus point in Saturday's 26-7 victory over Walcot.
The Minstermen recovered from a rocky first half to eventually overpower their visitors as Best took full advantage of a late fumble in the ruck to score late in the day.
Wimborne made a lively start and opened the scoring after 10 minutes when a ruck was worked out to Tyler Adams who crashed over the line.
The hosts kept up the pressure but unforced errors prevented further scoring and allowed Walcot the opportunity to nip in with a converted effort after half an hour.
However, Walcot's narrow two-point deficit at the break was soon wiped out as Declan Foley made a long break down the blind side to find Best who set free Jason Llewellyn to score.
The match continued to ebb and flow but Walcot could not quite make the most of their openings and the home side soon made them pay when centre Ollie Hamer burst over for try number three following a rolling maul on the hour.
At 19-7, Wimborne were still on tenterhooks until Best added a precious point with his late intervention, condemning the visitors to a scoreline that did little to highlight their part in a keenly-contested match.
It was the Leigh Park outfit's fourth straight league success and leaves them handily placed for a late play-off push in fourth, eight points behind second-placed Trowbridge with a game in hand.

Nome (Siqnazuaq in Iñupiaq) is a city in the Nome Census Area in the Unorganized Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The city is located on the southern Seward Peninsula coast on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea. According to the 2010 Census, the city population was 3,598. The 2012 population estimate was 3,757, suggesting a slight increase. Nome was incorporated on April 9, 1901, and was once the most populous city in Alaska. Nome lies within the region of the Bering Straits Native Corporation.
The city of Nome claims to be home to the world's largest gold pan, although this claim has been disputed by the Canadian city of Quesnel, British Columbia.
In the winter of 1925, a diphtheria epidemic raged among Alaska Natives in the Nome area. Fierce territory-wide blizzard conditions prevented delivery of a life-saving serum by airplane from Anchorage. A relay of dog sled teams was organized to deliver the serum.
Inupiat hunted for game on the west coast of Alaska from prehistoric times and there is recent archeological evidence to suggest that there was an Inupiat settlement at Nome, known in Inupiat as Sitnasuak, before the discovery of gold.
Gold rush
In the summer of 1898, the "Three Lucky Swedes": Norwegian-American Jafet Lindeberg, and two naturalized American citizens of Swedish birth, Erik Lindblom and John Brynteson, discovered gold on Anvil Creek. News of the discovery reached the outside world that winter. By 1899, Nome had a population of 10,000 and the area was organized as the Nome mining district. In that year, gold was found in the beach sands for dozens of miles along the coast at Nome, which spurred the stampede to new heights. Thousands more people poured into Nome during the spring of 1900 aboard steamships from the ports of Seattle and San Francisco. By 1900, a tent city on the beaches and on the treeless coast reached , from Cape Rodney to Cape Nome. In June of that year, Nome averaged 1000 newcomers a day.[1]
Many late-comers tried to "jump" the original claims by filing mining claims covering the same ground. The federal judge for the area ruled the original claims valid, but some of the claim jumpers agreed to share their invalid claims with influential Washington politicians. Alexander McKenzie,took an interest in the gold rush and secured the appointment of Arthur Noyes as the federal district judge for the Nome region for the purpose of taking control of gold placer mines in Nome. McKenzie seized mining claims with an unlawfully-procured receivership granted by Judge Noyes. Mckenzie's claim-jumping scheme was eventually stopped by the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the episode provided the plot for Rex Beach's best-selling novel The Spoilers (1906),[1] which was made into a stage play, then five times into movies, including two versions starring John Wayne: The Spoilers (1942 film) (co-starring Marlene Dietrich) and North to Alaska (1960, the theme of which mentions Nome.) Wyatt Earp, of Tombstone, Arizona fame, stayed in Nome for a short period, but little is known of his activities there.
During the period from 1900−1909, estimates of Nome's population reached as high as 20,000.[1] The highest recorded population of Nome, in the 1900 United States census, was 12,488. At this time, Nome was the largest city in the Alaska Territory. Early in this period, the U.S. Army policed the area, and expelled any inhabitant each autumn who did not have shelter (or the resources to pay for shelter) for the harsh winter.
By 1910 Nome's population had fallen to 2,600. By 1934, it had fallen to less than 1500.
Fires in 1905 and 1934,[2] as well as violent storms in 1900, 1913, 1945 and 1974, destroyed much of Nome's gold rush era architecture. The pre-fire "Discovery Saloon" is now a private residence and is being slowly restored as a landmark.
Serum run
In 1925, Nome was the destination of the famous "Great Race of Mercy", where dog sleds played a large part in transporting diphtheria serum through harsh conditions. In 1973, Nome became the ending point of the 1,049+ mi (1,600+ km) Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
The sled driver of the final leg of the relay was the Norwegian-born Gunnar Kaasen; his lead sled dog was Balto. A statue of Balto by F.G. Roth stands near the zoo in Central Park, New York City. Leonhard Seppala ran the penultimate, and longest, leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome. One of his dogs, Togo, is considered the forgotten hero of the "Great Race of Mercy", another of his dogs, Fritz, is preserved and on display at the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum in Nome.
World War II and later
During World War II, Nome was the last stop on the ferry system for planes flying from the United States to the Soviet Union for the Lend-lease program. The airstrip currently in use was built and troops were stationed there. One "Birchwood" hangar remains and has been transferred to a local group with hopes to restore it. It is not located on the former Marks AFB (now the primary Nome Airport); rather it is a remnant of an auxiliary landing field a mile or so away: "Satellite Field". In the hills north of the city, there were auxiliary facilities associated with the Distant Early Warning system that are visible from the city but are no longer in use. Nome's population decline continued after 1910 although at a fairly slow rate. By 1950 Nome had 1,852 inhabitants.
Total gold production for the Nome district has been at least 3.6 million ounces.
By 1960 the population of Nome had climbed to 2,316. At this point placer gold mining was still the leading economic activity. The local Alaska Native population was involved in ivory carving and the U.S. military had stationed troops in the city also contributing to the local economy.

Harvest Moon
Questions? Get in touch at email@example.com
NOTE: This is a FAQ to the Game Boy Harvest Moon. Not the SNES version.
Q: What's a good way to make fast cash?
A: Fast cash? There's no such thing as fast cash. You have to work hard and long for it all.
Q: What are the best ways to make money?
A: There are a few ways depending on how much to want. You always have to start by growing crops
since you can't afford anything else at the start of the game. But once you get money from your
crops you can buy that money to buy more seeds and grass. When you get enough grass, buy a chicken and sell the
egg for more money. Use this to buy more seeds and grass. When you have enough grass breed another
chicken. Then repeat the process above. You'll be getting a bit more money now. After a while you'll
have four chickens and you might have enough grass to get a cow. So save up and buy one. Buy a brush
right after you get it but don't buy a milkier will after it grows up. No use in paying 2000 dollars for
something you wont be using for a while. But when it grows up buy a milkier and milk and brush it every day.
Buy more grass and seeds for crops and always cut grass whenever you can. You'll have enough for two cows later.
Keep in mind that I you brush them every day they will give you more milk over time. Try to have four cows
and tons of grass before winter. That's what I did, along with four chickens and I had about 65'000 dollars
at the end of winter! It's all good.
Q: How do I get the super tools?
A: Help the gnomes whenever they need your help. You should also give them a mushroom or something every
day. They'll help you in return. You have to throw you axe into the lake after the earthquake and tell the
water spirit that its your axe. Then she'll give you the super axe.
Q: Can I get married?
A: I acutely don't know... I don't think so but maybe. Like I said I don't know.
Q: Why is there a shipping box in the cave under the shed?
A: You can sell mushrooms easily without having to run back and forth, but you should give the gnomes
a mushroom everyday so that they'll help you.

MINER, Mo. (AP) — Two police officers in a small southeast Missouri town are being credited with a big assist — helping a woman deliver her baby.
KFVS-TV (http://bit.ly/WzBKB8 ) reports that Taylor Northern was visiting her sister near Miner on Saturday when she went into labor. The baby's father, Joe Turcotte, hurried to Miner from Cape Girardeau and they began driving to a hospital.
But the baby wasn't waiting — the head began to crown. Turcotte pulled into the Miner Police parking lot while holding the baby's head. His daughter and a friend went inside to alert police.
Officers Kyle Rodgers and Darrin Skinner went to the car and helped deliver the girl, named Jersey Rose.
The baby is at Missouri Delta Hospital in Sikeston with a feeding tube but otherwise doing well.

Zenith let me know of this excellent challenge. Looks like it should be easy, but it's not:
What's the next sequence in this set?
you may submit your answers below in the comment section; will unmask in several days, thanks.
Each line 'spells out' the numbers in the row before. In this case, there are three 'ones', then two 'twos', and one 'one'. The next line, describing this one, would go as follows: One 'three', one 'one', two 'twos', two 'ones'. Or
I have seen this one before and do not want to burn it.
nice on though…
how about this: 312211
the first one can be written as "one 1 or one one"
which is the second one –> 11 (one one)
now the second one can be written as" two ones"
which is the third one –> 21
now the third one can be written as "one two and one one"
which if the fourth one –> 1211
now this can similaryl be written as "one one and one two and two ones"
5th one —> 111221
so the 6th one will be –> "three ones two twos and one one"
–> 312211
am i right?
wow, this seems pretty hard, I will try:
1–> 11; 11–> 21; 21–> 1211; 1211–> 111221; 111221—>?
I dont know if I am right but I think you use the values more recent form the past so 1 = 11; if 21 =1211 and 1= 11 then 2= 12 but 21= 1211; the problem its the order do I take 21 or 2 and 1; 12 or 1 and 2 jaja thats hard I will try to explain with this example 1211 can have this result values folowing the previous rules:
can be 1&2&1&1–> 11&12&11&11= 11121111
or 1&21&1=–> 11&1211&11= 11121111 same as previous right
but also can be: 1&2&11=11&12&21=111221, this is the last number known from the sequence, so i guess if 11= 21 12 = 1112 right that fits right I think; so my guess with this numeric sequence is: 11&12&21 (more recent values)
11=21; 12=1112; 21=1211 so my guess for the next number in the sequence is: "2111121211" I am not sure I am right but it´s my best approach.
I've seen this one before. You have to convert the numbers to word-descriptors, then back into numbers again, with each new number describing the last.
111221 is "three ones, two twos, and one one". Convert each word into a number and you get 3 (three) 1 (ones), 2 (two) 2 (twos), and 1 (one) 1 (one).
man, i haven't been in here since before we had to login to comment..great site.
The next entry in the list is 312211.
Each entry in the list shows the numbers used to verbally describe the previous entry. For example, the fourth entry is 1211, which can be described as having, in order,
one "one", one "two", & two "ones"
which is: 1 "1", 1 "2", & 2 "1's"
which is: 111221, the next entry.
Since the last entry has three "ones", two "twos", & one "one", the next entry is 312211.
RK I am still not convinced with my answer because of the relationship between 1–>11 2–> 21; the seed with my answer its not absolute, can have variable values and there is no rules to apply the order so I know it must be wrong, my guess is that is a conceptual and recursive, like a description, still looking…
another approach(alternative) … let me see: 1 you have (one) 1 so 1(1)->11
11 you have (two)1 so 2(1)-> 21
21 you have(one)2 and (one) 1 –> 1211
1211 you have (one)1 and (one)2 and (two)1-> 111221
111221–> you have three(1) and (two) 2 and (one) 1—>
312211 I think, WOW this is crazy, dont understand it yet jajaja cool.
on = one
this a famous puzzle,you look at the digits and you say them as you see them, like after writing 1, you read it as one one, and thats what you write as your second number, it goes on and on, the answer to this one is
312211, and the one after this will be 13112221
Next is
The answer is
312211, I must confess that I have seen this puzzle years ago therefore I know the answer. Though when I saw it for the first time, I have no idea what the relation between the numbers was.
several good explanations above, the answer is 312211
thanks Nimrod, nice to see you back

Charity worker Nigel Turner, who is launching the campaign, said the change would help mark the diversity in the UK.
His campaign called reFLAG aims to have a new flag by 2006 when it will be 400 years since the royal decree which brought together the flags of England and Scotland.
But Phil Gallie, MSP for South of Scotland, said the idea was a non-starter and would do nothing to "stamp out racism".
Mr Turner, 46, has emailed MPs, MSPs and the media, and is preparing to launch his campaign website
He said: "We're used to big corporations spending millions on a new logo, which they see as a carefully-judged investment for the future health of the enterprise, yet the UK hasn't reviewed its logo - the Union flag - for 200
"Changing a logo isn't just about the shapes and colours of the final design.
"There's a lot of value in the process of asking what we want to say about ourselves and how we want to appear to others."
But Mr Gallie said the idea would not get off the ground and called for the status quo.
He said: "I recognise the contribution made to our nation's history of people of all colours, not just white and black.
"The flag of the United Kingdom is just that, made up of the three national flags of the British Isles kingdoms."
"Given the campaign objectives the logic is that we should change the flags that make up the Union flag also."
The MSP said the UK's identity was "under threat from European federalism".
He added: "We should all celebrate cultural diversity in the UK, but the suggestion that our flag should be redesigned is ridiculous tokenism and would do nothing to stamp out racism."

Gen7 eco-friendly modular classrooms
Intended for both wellbeing and comfort, Gen7 classrooms provide the perfect environment for learning. Fitted with its individual interactive SMART board each Zero Net Energy classroom facilitates hands-on, practical teaching. Display of the building's performance data and demonstration of the sustainable proposals, such as the LEED scorecard, energy production and consumption, student tutorials and green features will be done by an energy efficient education dashboard that is being developed.
Gen7's matchless energy efficiency unites renewable energy with attributes that lessen the want for electricity by incorporating skylights and large low-E view windows, an ultra-tight, highly efficient mechanical system, high R-value building envelope, light and occupancy sensors, smart lighting system with the latest LED technology along with a reliable outdoor ventilation system in every classroom.
Brentwood School's latest classrooms are built completely from used resources and are powered by solar panels that are roof-mounted, which will produce energy for their entire usage and render the classrooms as Los Angeles' first Zero Net Energy classroom. As the solar panels are transported to the place to be erected, the generation of power will occur on the same day they are installed. To make certain the power generating capacity of the classrooms over time, every classroom will be supervised by the proprietary energy management system of Gen7.
