How Sam and Dean Approach Hunting
While the Winchester brothers have spent most of their lives either training to be hunters or doing the hunting themselves, the two often have differing approaches to hunting down evil. I'm not talking about Dean with a salt-filled gun and Sam with holy water; I'm talking about how their approaches differ as a reflection of their personalities. The lens through which they see the world colors how they view the beasties they're after and those people whose lives are affected by said beasties. And each approach is attractive, just in different ways.
Dean is an action guy, often impulsive, the more raw brawn of the duo. He knows the weaponry inside and out, and we often see him sitting in a dive motel room cleaning a gun or sharpening a knife. There's an undeniable appeal of the action guy, one you know could protect you from all the baddies lurking in the dark. By contrast, Sam is often doing Internet searches or poring over old texts to research the lore behind the creature of the week. He's cast as the geek boy, but the combination of good looking and smart (not to mention THOSE ARMS) is very sexy. The Winchester duo is formidable because they have both brains and brawn.
One aspect of how they approach hunting often causes friction between the brothers. Dean has often been a very black-and-white guy. Supernatural beings are evil, and therefore have to be killed. End of story. Sam isn't so sure, especially when he finds out that there's the possibility that he could have some dormant evil lurking inside him. He's more willing to see shades of gray.
We see the difference in Season 1, in episodes like "Something Wicked" (1-18) when Dean wants to use Michael as bait for the shtriga while Sam wants to get the kid to safety. The different viewpoints really show up in "Bloodlust" (2-3) and "Croatoan" (2-9). During Dean's conversation with Gordon, he identifies with Gordon's black-and-white approach to hunting. But when Lenore shows that her group of vampires are telling the truth about not preying on humans, Dean sides with Sam against Gordon and helps the vampires get away from the hunter. He starts doubting his most basic belief that he's carried with him his entire life.
Dean: "Think about all the hunts we went on, Sammy, our whole lives. What if we killed things that didn't deserve killing?"
In "Croatoan" (2-9), Dean and Sam again find themselves at odds about how to deal with a supernatural threat. As residents of the town become infected with the demon virus, the brothers argue about who to kill and when. When they go to a house where a father and son are holding the mother hostage and doing her harm, Dean doesn't hesitate to shoot the man. Sam, however, does hesitate to shoot the teenage boy because he's a kid. Dean has the attitude that once someone gets the virus, he or she is a danger and needs to be put down like a rabid animal. That is until Sam becomes infected. Rather than kill his brother, something he will repeatedly refuse to do as the series progresses, he chooses to stay with Sam and give the Impala to the other survivors so they can flee the town. Again, he's reminded that dealing with evil isn't always cut and dried.
Sam is portrayed as the brother with the kinder heart, the one who offers sympathy to the victims and survivors with whom they come into contact. He also seems to have more of a conscience and feeling of guilt regarding the lies they tell and the credit card scams they use to fund their hunting. This appeals to those of us who value honesty and compassion. And sometimes the contrast in their approaches is just funny. For instance, in "Playthings" (2-11), when they've found the old woman who has apparently had a stroke:
Dean: "You know, she could be faking."
Sam: "Yeah, what you wanna do, poke her with a stick?"
Dean: Nods.
Sam: "Dude, you are not gonna poke her with a stick!"
At different times, I find myself rooting for different approaches, though it should come as no surprise that I prefer the "shades of gray" and more sympathetic approach Sam often employs. That said, sometimes you just need to open up a super-sized can of whoop-ass. :)
Which approach to you like better and why? What are you views on this topic?

Facebook Algorithm Update Focuses on QualityAssociation of Strategic Marketing
December 4, 2013 — 1,682 views
Facebook, the well-known social networking site, has made a major change to its news feed algorithm. The change will ensure that the content that shows up in the news feed is more relevant to the particular user's interests and likes.
For many years, calls were being made for Facebook to revamp its news feed. Many felt that it was old and unwieldy and did not meet the expectations of the users. Now it looks like Facebook is finally making its move to update the news feed.
The News Feed
The news feed is an important part of Facebook. It is the Facebook home page for most people. It curates the updates made by the friends of the Facebook users and makes them appear in a chronological and linear order on a single page. This makes it easy for the users to follow everything that is going on in their friends' lives. Most users like to obsessively watch over their friends. And the news feed makes it very easy to do so.
The news feed drives most of the traffic that Facebook receives. Most of the time spent by users on the site is spent on reading their news feeds.
The New Algorithm
Over time, the news feed became cluttered for most people. Most people had too many friends, which meant that their news feed was moving too fast for them to keep up with it. Another thing that happened was that many unfunny memes started appearing in the news feeds. This was creating a backlash among the users.
To solve all these problems, Facebook started working on a new algorithm for its news feed. The algorithm has been announced and will soon become a part of the Facebook experience. The new algorithm categorizes the friends into those are closest and those who are not so close to you. The updates made by close friends are now given a higher priority in the news feed.
The new news feed also takes into account the geographical location of the user. The user can now get more information about his place of residence based on his location and can also learn about deals and discounts that local businesses have to offer.
It is expected that the new news feed will make Facebook more engaging for the users. It might also attract more users to the site. The site had begun seeing a decline in new user registration, but the improved news feed algorithm may just change that.

|Lords Hansard Home Page
Lord Goldsmith: My Lords, I remind the noble Lord that this is Report. He raises a point that does not, with all respect to him, go to the question of whether this amendment should be agreed. The premise is whether the provision should be retrospective.
Lord Judd: My Lords, I am very grateful to my noble and learned friend for giving way. He has addressed this issue, as have others of my noble friends and, of course, I understand the feeling, concern and genuine commitment in this direction. However, while we consider the position of people who haveand know that they havecommitted a crime, who have been acquitted and then subsequently find when they wake up after this Bill has been passed that they have not got away with it, what about the many people who have been acquitted in the past? Very often, the reason that they were in court was because they were vulnerable, inadequate people. What is their position when they wake up the day after this legislation has been introduced and find that something that they thought, with justice and truth, that they had put behind them is now uncertain? We must weigh that in our considerations as well.
Lord Goldsmith: My Lords, on the last occasion, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick, gave the example of a man who was acquitted of a murder of which he was in fact guilty. That was the noble Lord's premise. The man later admitted the offence to his wife. I gave the example of a man who was acquitted of a murder and subsequently bragged that he was guilty. In both those cases a murder was committed and the murderer walked free from the original trial. If there is new and compelling evidence, I do not see the injustice, subject to the safeguards that we have discussed, of that person being brought to book.
Lord Lloyd of Berwick: My Lords, I am grateful for the support that this amendment has received from lawyers on all sides of the House and, above all, for the support that it has also received from laymen. There is no principle question of law involved here. This is simply a question of justice. To the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Worcester I say that the problem of retrospection will not apply as he thought it might in the case of those who are acquitted in the future, because they will know that acquittal does not mean that they cannot be tried again. Therefore, there is no unfairness or injustice. The injustice applies to those who were acquitted in the past and who have lived in the belief that they could never be tried again. That is what sticks in my gullet, if I may say so, and that is why I wish to divide the House on this issue.
On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 143) shall be agreed to?
*Their Lordships divided: Contents, 45; Not-Contents, 68.
[*The Tellers for the Not-Contents reported 68 votes. The Clerks recorded 67 names.]
Resolved in the negative, and amendment disagreed to accordingly.
6.45 p.m.
Resolved in the negative, and amendment disagreed to accordingly.
Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws moved Amendment No. 143A:
The noble Baroness said: My Lords, this set of amendments stands in my name and that of the noble Lord, Lord Neill of Bladen. I am happy to be in such esteemed company. The noble Lordwho will of course in turn speakand I believe that this is a matter of principle. Removing the rule against double jeopardy is of such consequence that we feel strongly that it should be marked and not just go by on the nod.
Your Lordships have already heard a full debate that has roamed beyond the issue of retrospection. I do not intend to rehearse those arguments, but I am concerned that the House should be aware that there are difficulties surrounding what will constitute new evidence. Reading the Bill, it seems clear that "new and compelling" evidence will basically be any old evidenceevidence that was available but which, because of poor prosecution or investigation, the police failed to procure until the second time round. We submit that that is the wrong way to conduct a justice system.
I am concerned that that will create insecurityas has already been said so beautifully by the right reverend Prelate, and that we are creating a life sentence for acquitted people. That is what is so wrong in principle. We should ask what kind of society we intend to create. I submit that the provision will create a society with real uncertainty for people. We are undoing the glue that makes this country the place in which we all choose to live. I regret that our liberties are being so readily ceded by this Government. That is a source of sadness and profound regret to me. I beg to move.
Lord Neill of Bladen: My Lords, I support this group of amendments. We are told that it is procedurally necessary to move a raft of amendments to achieve one simple aim: to scrap Part 9. Apparently it is impossible simply to have a part omitted; hence this long string of amendments, but they are all directed to sweeping away every provision in the Bill that would alter the double jeopardy rule. All the arguments have been rehearsed, so I shall be brief.
Double jeopardy is an ancient principle. It is one of the big principles of English criminal law, as is the presumption of innocence. It is as deeply embedded as that. It is founded on the principle that guilty people will be acquitted, but that it is better to have such a principle than to run the risk that people who have been acquitted can be tried again in any circumstances.
We are here faced with a partial erosion of that great and ancient principle. It is partial because, as I read itI shall be put right if I am wrongit is directed to crimes of violence. No crimes of fraudhowever grave; however grievous the consequences; however many people are ruined and made bankruptnor
It is the destruction of an ancient principle. Finality is a great, desirable end. We must recognise that for these specified Schedule 4 crimes, every acquittal from now on is provisional. In fact, as a result of the last vote on the amendment of my noble and learned friend, Lord Lloyd, not only will acquittals be provisional in the future, but every past acquittal is provisional and can be reopened. That will come as quite a shock to people.
When the prosecution decides that it will institute this procedure, it applies to the court for an order, part one of which is that the original acquittal be quashed. Then a notice of that application is served on the happily acquitted man, accompanied by a piece of paper charging him with the original offence. Imagine that if you have been acquitted in a long and horrendous murder triallet us assume, for once, that the accused is innocent. Years later, a charge is delivered and served on you saying that you are now being prosecuted for the murder of which you were formerly acquitted.
If we take this step we are moving out of line with other great common law jurisdictions, including Australia and the United States of America. So far as the parties to the European Convention on Human Rights are concerned, there is a protocol which permits a derogation from the general principle of no derogation from the double jeopardy rule. You can sign up to a protocol saying that it is the intention of your state to make a derogation. Let me outline my understandingagain, I will be corrected. I see the Attorney-General shaking his head. We have had many encounters in the past, in courts and elsewhere, and when he shakes his head it is something to tremble at. My understanding is that only in the case of Finland has such a signature to a protocol been made.
I drew attention at Second Reading to the point that the definition of new evidence is so extraordinary that it covers old evidenceevidence that could have been in existence long before. To make such a measure palatable it has to be made attractive by saying: let us suppose new DNA evidence comes to light. But the clause is not drafted in that way, as we will hear in another amendment dealing with this point.
New evidence is not confined to new scientific evidence. It will cover the case of a prosecution witness who was available to be called on the first trialwitness number three, say, who was an eye witness to the offencebut who was still in a state of trauma. The prosecution decides not to call that witness, because something might go wrong on cross-examination. Under this definition of new evidence, that witness could be called; there would be a retrial, the only difference being that the third witness is now called in
I drew attention last time to the likely consequences. When speaking a little while ago, I referred to campaigns against a man who has been acquitted. I have some little experience; as I mentioned then, I was, once upon a time, chairman of the old Press Council. We dealt with the moors murderers and other insalubrious cases. It is easy to foresee that media campaigns will be whipped up against a person who has allegedly committed some vile rape, murder or serial murders. We have seen examples of that. One has only to watch television for a week to see some investigation of either an alleged crimeor a past acquittal, as it will now be. A frightening and alarming future faces us.
I do not want to trespass on another point, but I made it earlier. There are provisions for the Court of Appeal to say that, when an application has been made for a retrial and has succeeded, it is not to be reported in any form of publication, even by word of mouth, to the public at large or to a section of public. The provisions say that it can be blanketed outbut in the real world, if there has been a campaign, everybody will know perfectly well that the campaign has succeeded and, hooray, there is going to be a second trial. That will lead to highly undesirable consequences, given the media world in which we live, which reinforces why the old principle was so good. There would be occasions when an acquittal was not justified, but that was preferable to the system now being recommended by the Government.

A couple years ago, I was sitting on the back porch at the Continental Club talking music with a fairly well known music writer who seemed to believe that anything with a big hook or the slightest inkling of musicianship beyond the garage band aesthetic was utter garbage. If he weren't such a nice guy, I would have taken his condescension personally, but I realized that it was just a quirk of his extremely focused view on music, one that is shared by a fair number of music critics.
Today, when I read the selections for this year's class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I wasn't surprised and, frankly, they are all deserving. But, as usual, there were many continued snubs of artists who should have long ago been enshrined. For baseball fans, it's the Jim Rice effect. These bands have to sit around and wait until the voters vote them in, sometimes years after they clearly deserve to be inducted.
In the case of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there is more to it. There is a very real bias towards certain kinds of music, particularly of the hard rock and progressive rock varieties, or what my writer friend and many of his contemporaries would call "shit."
Yes, there are many different artists who are deserving but not in. Craig Hlavaty, in his post about this year's entrants listed a bunch of them:
Devo, X, Love, The Replacements, Motörhead, Roxy Music, Can, Big Star, Cheap Trick, Peter Gabriel, New Order, Joy Division, Thin Lizzy. Link Wray. Dick Dale.
New York Dolls, The Cars, Electric Light Orchestra, Bon Jovi, Gram Parsons, Kraftwerk, The Flaming Lips, The Pogues, Tammi Terrell, Warren Zevon.
Randy Newman, T. Rex, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Smiths, Los Lobos, Dick Dale, Linda Ronstadt, Hall & Oates, Link Wray, The Monkees, MC5, Deep Purple.
You could add King Crimson, Yes, Jethro Tull, Ozzy Osborne (solo), Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and a few others to demonstrate the clear dismissal of rock's heavier and more progressive artists as boring, cheesy, over-the-top and any other adjective you care to pull from your well worn thesaurus. But, there is no greater snub than Rush.
I make no bones about the fact that I grew up listening to Rush or that Geddy Lee is one of my biggest influences as a musician. I also freely admit that their music isn't for everyone; their lyrics -- especially pre 1980 -- can be overwrought, their arrangements can be insanely complicated and Lee's voice is often grating. Yet, by every measure, they are rock royalty.
They have sold more than 40 million records and only the Beatles and the Rolling Stones have longer gold record album streaks. Long after the vast majority of their peers have stopped performing, they continue playing sold out shows across the globe. They have become a symbol of nerd culture, finding their way into movies like I Love You, Man and onto shows like The Colbert Report because the writers for those grew up with them.
Oh, and it doesn't hurt that two of their members are considered near if not at the top of the greatest of all time in rock music at their instruments. And like jazz musicians, they continue to hone their craft actually improving their individual and collective technical and compositional skills while other classic rockers re-hash the same tired crap they've been playing for 30 years.
Pretty much any normal person with a brain who loves music thinks they should be in the HOF and yet, here we are, another year, another snub.

NPR's Mark Memmott wrote his own rant against the injustice of it all earlier today and included this:
Even the president and CEO of the Rock Hall concedes the band should be honored. "They simply haven't gotten enough votes to make the ballot," Terry Stewart told Cleveland's The Plain Dealer earlier this year. "I can't tell you why. Based on impact, influence, innovation, and excellence, they're worthy. I think it's just a matter of time before it happens."
You know why, Terry? It's because your voters are full of pompous, self righteous critics who personally dislike certain kinds of music and, as a result, block those who play it from what they deserve.
There are plenty of kinds of music and artists out there I don't like, but if they deserve to get into the Hall of Fame, they deserve it. Period. End of story. And Rush is at the top of that list.

WAMU New Fees, I'm Disappointed
After raving about Washington Mutual, I received a notice today that included some fairly significant changes in their fee structure and I'm disappointed. First the good news, WAMU will be dropping fees for the following: American Express Gift and Traveler's Cheque Fees $0 ATM Mini-statement Fee $0 Bank Check, Money Order, and Foreign Draft Purchase […]

Yet Another $750 In Profit?
I planted a money tree back in early December. The first harvest (in December) brought in about $850 in cash. The tree bore another fruitful harvest of about $750 in February. My money tree (SMH) spiked up close to 2% and if the trend continues I'll likely get called at $35 in mid March during […]

There is a new round of "don't buy that Plasma TV" posts making the PFBlogger circuit and I'm writing about looking at the issue from a slightly different perspective.

Job Hunt – Shotgun vs. Laser Approach
Early in your career, you will likely take the "shotgun" approach to job hunting. Essentially, you'll blast your resume to every job board, e-mail it to recruiting agencies and perhaps send it over to friends, family and acquaintances in the hope of getting a hit, a call back and a possible interview to hopefully land […]

How to Create A Money Factory
A money factory involves harvesting the fruits of your labours on an industrial scale. It will become rather impractical for you to focus on the day to day operations of every money farm, money tree and money forest you are cultivating. Setting up a money factory involves a team of workers that help you deal […]

Marketers on the frontline to win back retailers' trust
I've been sent more than 100 horse-meat related jokes this week, including 'Findus lasagne contains horse meat? I'd check the spaghetti bologneighs as well' and 'Frozen meat importers should face more hurdles shocker'.
Apologies to the original authors, but it's not entirely clear to me who is responsible for these particular jokes. It is, however, clear that the food chain scandal in which meat products were contaminated with horse flesh, is not going away quietly. We are galloping (sorry) into another month of intense scrutiny for food producers and retailers.
This week, Tesco admitted its value range of spaghetti bolognese contains more than 60 per cent horsemeat despite being sold as a beef product. This latest admission follows weeks of product withdrawals by brands including Findus, Burger King and Aldi. And more revelations are expected.
The Food Standards Agency has ordered UK suppliers and retailers to undertake DNA tests on their meat and supply the results by Friday. But will retailers be able to recover consumer trust? Our news story on page 5 suggests they are already experiencing a massive slump in reputation.
One supermarket marketer confided to me this week that while his brand is putting forth an outwardly calm demeanour, there is great internal concern. Supermarkets rely on their suppliers to meet the FSA standards, he says, but any failures to do this will haunt the retail brands for years.
"You can't buy or sell trust," he explains. "It takes years to build up trust but seconds to destroy." Regardless of any legal action retailers might take against affected suppliers, the fragile nature of consumer trust means that the store brands may be feeling repercussions for decades to come.
In this light, our cover story on the future of the high street (page 14) is more relevant than ever. We try to work out what future shoppers may expect to see in their local area. Trust will, of course, be key to which shops remain strong and profitable on the high street, but we also look at new and emerging areas, such as how technology and data will affect the retail experience.
This focus on data and technology is well timed as we held our Data Strategy Awards this week. Thank you to everyone who entered, judged or attended.It was a brilliant evening; not only did we receive record numbers of entries, we also had record attendance on the Casino Royale-themed evening, with the roulette tables full late into the night.

On Thursday, the U.S. Soccer Federation awarded yet another USA vs. Mexico World Cup qualifier to Columbus Crew Stadium. Finally. The suspense was just too much.
Not really.
Let's be honest: Although the USSF considered other venues for USA vs. Mexico, it was difficult to imagine this match being played anywhere else in the United States.
"It's a no-brainer to have it there," former USMNT and Crew legend Frankie Hejduk told Thursday's edition of ExtraTime Radio. "Mexico is our No. 1 opponent and, if you can beat them consistently anyplace, that's a good sign."
LISTEN: Frankie Hejduk on ExtraTime Radio
But exactly what is it about Columbus that makes it a "no-brainer"? Aside from the active streak of three straight 2-0 qualifying wins against the Americans' toughest and most hated rival, is there a good reason why this should be such an automatic?
Many talk about the weather factor in Columbus and how it plays in the USA's favor. And yet it was a comfortable 53 degrees in Feb. 2009 and a warm 74 degrees in Sept. 2005. So much for the Guerra Fría (Cold War), especially with another September date this year.
Is it the Crew Stadium atmosphere that has pushed the USMNT over the top? You might be able to argue it, but I doubt El Tri are really intimidated by a 25,000-sold out, pro-US crowd. Plus, there are newer stadiums that transmit even more intensity and noise compared to Columbus while still keeping a pro-US vibe.
So what exactly is this famous home-field edge at Crew Stadium when there are no natural or artificial elements at play? No altitude, no smog, no peculiar surface, no shaking locker room ceilings, no bags of urine being hurled from the stands.
READ: USSF selects four MLS stadiums for remaining home qualifiers
Let's face it: U.S. Soccer is banking purely on Crew Stadium's psychological edge. And Hejduk, who played in two of the matches, agrees.
"We really felt more at home than we ever did and on top of that it's a psychological factor," Hejduk continued. "We were in their heads and couldn't wait for the snow and rain and cold. Sept. 10 probably won't be [cold], but we have that mental edge and any type of edge you can get when the teams are this tactically and technically close."
But what happens when Mexico manages to win or even pull out a draw against the USA, perhaps even on Sept. 10? Is that the end of the "edge"? Although Hejduk disagrees, anything less than a US win and Columbus wouldn't be nearly such an automatic when 2017 rolls around. And by then it will be even harder to pass over places like Seattle, Portland and Kansas City for this match.
READ: A history of USA vs. Mexico in Columbus
"If we don't get the result [on Sept. 10], and odds are we will – let's stay positive, I still think it's an edge," Hejduk said about Columbus. "The players feel comfortable against Mexico in Crew Stadium, for whatever reason."
But with the cutthroat scrap for USMNT matches among the multitude of new soccer stadiums that have sprouted around the country, "for whatever reason" is probably not going to cut it anymore for Crew Stadium.
And if Sept. 10 does represent the final chapter of USA-Mexico in Columbus, we'll always have "Dos a Cero," a phrase that will forever be identified with a very particular era of American soccer: the USA's first successful spell as CONCACAF's top nation in the modern era. And it all materialized in MLS' first soccer-specific stadium, the symbolic foundation for the high expectations heaped on Klinsmann's squad today.
And by the way, if the USA is as far along as everyone imagines from that momentous Feb. 28 back in 2001, then beating Mexico shouldn't have to depend on mind games. Or Columbus Crew Stadium.

For The Week Ending November 5th 19, 2
According to a news broadcast from Radio Grenada monitnod on
Tuesday (1st), Prime Minister Gairy has reshuffled his Cabinet
with effect from October 31st. In making this change, two new
Senators have been appointed, two Ministries have changed hands
and a new Minister of State has taken office.
In the Senate, Mr David Sylvester and Ur Charles Cayenne have been
replaced by Dr Wellington Friday and Mr Henry Bullen. Dr Friday
has been sworn in as Minister for Lducation, a post formerly held
by the Honourable Oliver Raeburn, and Mr Raeburn has taken over
the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries which has now
been vacated by Mr Sylvester. Mr Bullen, who was formerly
Permanent Secretary for External & Home Affairs in the Prime
Minister's office, has been sworn in as minister of State in the
Prime Minister's office, responsible for Home Affairs, Information
and Public Relations.
Dr Friday contested the 1972 General Elections on the ticket of
the opposition Grenada National Party and won the seat for
Gt.Patrick's West by a narrow margin. A few months after the
elections, he obtained leave from the Speaker of the House to
proceed to the United States on leave, but only a part of the
required two years leave was granted in the first place. The
understanding was that the additional leave would be granted on
expiry of the first portion, but this additional leave was not
granted and Dr (then Mr) Friday resigned from the House.
Dr Friday returned to Grenada last year and joined the ruling
Grenada United Labour Party of Prime Minister Gairy. Dr Friday
has founded the University of the Eastern Caribbean (a "university-
without-walls") and this institution was launched at a press
conference on December 18th 1976 with the assistance of Trinidad-
born Mr Mervin Dymally, Lieutenant Governor of California.
Until his appointment as Minister of Education, Dr Priday held
the post of Ambassador-at-large in the Government of Prime Minister

ir Bullen first joined the Civil Service on contract when he was
appointed by the Public Service Commission to be the Personal
Assistant to the Prime Minister for a period of one year with
effect from 16th June 1975. It has not been announced
whether Mr Bullen has resigned from the Civil Service.

Grenada Breweries Ltd, brewers of "Carib" beer and "Giant" malt,
plan to double the capacity of their plant and, to this end,
will appoint a British firm as consultants.
This information is given in the Chairman's 'Review' which was
circulated to shareholders dated October 14th and which is
attached to the notice for the holding of the Company's 17th
Ordinary General Meeting to be held on November 17th.
In his 'Review', the Chairman, Mr C F Toppin, said that the year
under review has been a new one in the history of the Brewery as,
for the first time, the demand for the Company's products was
equal to and sometimes exceeded production capacity. Quoting
the following monthly sales figures (in cartons) for the years
1975/76 and 1976/77, the Chairman said it was clear that the
Company had done well to reach and maintain the production level
of the final nine months, bearing in mind that the present annual
capacity of the plant is 180,000 cartons.
The sales figures quoted by Mr Toppin are :-
1975/76 1976/77
July 5,911 10,598
August 5,284 9,645
September 5,961 9,401

Burton-on-Trent in the United Kingdom, and this firm is to be
asked to carry out a survey of the plant and equLpment neceaaa-y
to double the capacity of the brewery. Allied Breweries are
also to prepare an estimate of cost.
Consultative services have previously been supplied by Mesers The
Caribbean Development Company Ltd of Trinidad who were founders
of Grenada Breweries Ltd, but, according to the Chairman's
'Review', the envisaged plant maintenance and expansion programme
cannot be undertaken by C.D.C. and this Company's services have
been terminated.
While the expansion to be advised on by Allied Breweries is for
the future and still to have final approval, the Company has
undertaken certain developments which, when completed and
operative, will permit the Brewery to attain its optimum capacity
of 288,000 caftona per year. These developments are the
construction of a new 50,000 gallon water tank at a cost of
approximately EC$35,000.00, and a cold room to house four
additional storage tanks for beer. The cold room is expected
to be completed in February 1978 at an estimated cost of
According to the Accounts and the Report Of The Directors
circulated to shareholders, Grenada Breweries made a net profit
of EC0579,797.00 for the year ending 30th June 1977, from which
it is proposed to pay a 206 dividend amounting to EC$152,288.00.
The Report Of The Directors says, "The Income Tax Ordinance was
amended in August 1977 and accumulated losses can only be claimed
for up to three years. This unfortunately has meant that
losses carried forward for tax purposes for 1972 and 1973 are
time-barred and not deductible."
Grenada Breweries Limited has an authorized share capital of
2,000,000 shares of ECt1 each, of which 1,384,433 shares have
been issued and fully paid up.

The Government Gazette of October 28th publishes a statement
of Assets and Liabilities of the East Caribbean Currency Autlhrity
(ECCA) showing total notes in circulation at 31st August 1977 as
E0#57,494,889.00 and total coin in circulation as Eb$6,440,539.00.
Together with this statement is published a breakdown of the
circulation, but, in checking the figures given, NEWSLTTER
discovered that there is an error relative to the figure given
for the circulation of notes. A check was made today (3rd)
wit the Government Printing Office and it would appear that the
error is in the original figures supplied to the Grenada Government
by the EDCA.
The following are the figures published in the Gazette and
corrections by 1NtWSLETTER of the addition and following figures
are shown in brackets. It should be pointed out, however,
that the figure published as the total may be correct and the
error may be in the figures given for the individual islands.
It should also a2co be pointed out that the figure given for
StVincent must be wrong as no total of ECCA notes can give a
figure with a reading of cents.

Before the establishment of the East Garibbean Curronoy Board for
the territories of Antigura, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat,
St.Kitts Nevia Anguilla, St Lucia and St Vincent, there existed
the British Caribbean Currency Board (BCGB) which handled a
common currency for these 7 territories plus Barbados, Trinidad
& Tobago and Guyana which was than British Guiana*
Together with the above mentioned figures, the Government
Gazette of October 28th published the following relative to BCCB
notes redeemed as at 31st August 1977 :-

Attention is drawn to the Barbados figure which shows a reading

facts concerning these figures. The first is that the figure

O-uLOW AT HUBB ARDi C oTINUES
The go-slow instituted at Jonas Browne & Hubbard Ltd by the
Commercial and Industrial Workers Union (CIWU) continues, and the
confrontation between this union and the Company has entered a
'grey area' where communications appear to be less than perfect.
The industrial dispute between CIWU and the Company stems from a
claim made by the Union for a cost of living allowance.
Negotiations have been going on since August 1976 and, on October
21st, CIWU instituted a go-slow after the negotiations became
deadlocked. This go-slow affected all departments of the
Company including the two supermarkets, shipping agency, hardware
Alister Hughes
THE GREADA NEWSLETTER Week Ending 5.11. 77
Page 6
and lumber departments and dress abop, but its effects were felt
most in the supermarkets.
As a result of the mediation of the Labour Commissioner, Mr Robert
Robinson, agreement on the cost of living allowance was reached on
October 27th, but, by that time, another factor had arisen.
Since the go-slow began, the Company has dismissed five workers
and the union regards these dismissals as part of the original
dispute which must be settled before the go-slow is called off.
The Company, on the other hand, regards the dismissals as a
separate matter which it will not discuss until the go-slow has
been called off.
Supporting this stand, a spokesman for the Company quoted to
NLWSLETTER the following extract from the Agreement between OIWU
and Jonas Brown & Hubbard Ltd under the heading of "Discharge and
Discrimination." The extract reads, "The union shall have the
right to invoke the grievance procedure in this Agreement in all
cases of discharge." The spokesman said that if the union wished
to question the dismissals, it should invoke the grievance
procedure and not try to settle the matter of dismissals through
the pressure of the go-slow which had been instituted in
connection with the demand for a cost of living allowance.
A spokesman for the union told NEMLETTER that the dismissals are
seen by CIWU as a part of the original dispute, and this view is
shared by the Seamen & Waterfront Workers Union (SWWU). As a
result, SWWU stopped handling all cargo for the Company with
effect from Saturday October 29th.
Reaction to this is that the Grenada Shipping Agents (GSA), with
whom SWWU have an Agreement, regard this Agreement as having
been broken. In a Press Release issued on Tuesday (1st),
GSA said, "The Shipping Agents have no dispute with the union and
this action, of which no notice whatsoever was given, is contrary
to the terms of our Industrial Agreement which does not give the
.niicn the right to choose which cargo they should handle, and in
the opinion of the Grenada Shipping Agents constitutes an
abrogaton o of o'r Agreement." (continued)

GSA said it had no alternative but to advise lta Principals of the
situation "so that they may take appropriate action to protect
their interests." What this "appropriate action" is has not
been made clear, but it may mean the diversion of ships from
Grenada and/or the refusal of cargo for Grenada.
In an effort to break the deadlock, the Grenada Employers
Federation (GEF) approaded the Trade Union Council (TUC) and, on
the suggestion of TUC, these two bodies met yesterday (2nd) to
discuss the situation. In the mean time, TUG had written the
Company on Tuesday (1st) expressing the opinion that "it is
unreasonable to expect workers to perform with the usual
enthusiasm (during a go-slow) and dismissals in this context can
be construed as victimisation." Nevertheless, TUC offered its
services as a mediator.
At the meeting yesterday (2nd), TUC suggested to GEF that a joint
committee under the chairmanship of the Labour Commissioner be set
up to investigate the issues in this dispute. Mr Osbert
Benjamin, Chairman of TUC, told NEWSLETTER today (3rd) that GE~
had nat accepted the proposal of a joint committee and TUC was now
awaiting the Company's reaction to TUC's offer to act as a
Officials of GEF could not be contacted today for comment, but the
General Manager of Jonas Browne & Hubbard Ltd, Mr Fred Toppin, told
NEWSLETTER that the situation was unchanged and he had not heard
the outcome of the meeting between TUC and GEF. Concerning the
offer made by TUC to be a mediator, Mr Toppin said he had replied
yesterday (2nd) tellin, TUC he understood TUC was meeting with GEF
and he had asked TUC to use its good offices to get a solution to
the dispute.
Following the interview with Mr Toppin, NEWSLETTER contacted
Mr Benjamin again and told him of the Company's position.
Mr Benjamin said TUC had not yet received the letter from Jonas
Browne & Iiubbard Ltd but, as soon as it was received, TUC would
again offer its services as a mediator.

CIWU CONFRONTS CENTRAL SALES/DISTRIaTORS LTD
A disagreement exists between the Commercial & Industrial Workers
Union (CIWU) and the firms of Central Sales Ltd and Distributors
Ltd. These Companies, which have a common management, have
been applied to by CIWU for recognition, and the union charges
that four workers have been dismissed from Central Sales and two
from Distributors Ltd because these workers joined the union.
There has been some picketing by the union and, last Saturday
(29th) the Seamen and Waterfront Workers Union (S WU) boycotted
cargo for these two firms in support of CIWU. Mr D Williams,
Legal Counsel for the Companies, has written S~WU charging that
this industrial action, undertaken before SWWU had heard the
Companies' side of the disagreement, was a breach of natural
justice. Mr Willliams suggested that the industrial action
be called off and discussions held.
It is not known whether there has been any reaction from 8WWU,
but a meeting was held today between the Companies and CIWU,
Following that meeting, Mr Eric Pierre, President of CIWU, told
A-BSLETThR that it had be.n very disappointing because the only
person representing the Companies at the meeting was Mr Williams
the Companies' Legal Counsel.
"We told Mr Williams that he could not discuss with us what we
wanted to discuss", said Mr Pierre, "and we told him that we want
to talk to Mr Wilber Douglas, the Managing Director of the Companies."
Mr Pierre said Mr Williams had told the union that the Companies
were willing to pay compensation to the dismissed workers but
were not willing to reemploy them. On the matter of
recognition, Mr Pierre said he understood that the Companies
had referred the matter to the Labour Commission for action.
No meeting has yet been fixed foruthe union to meet with the

Italians love Italian sparkling wines and at upcoming winter holidays are going to drink over 62 million bottles of so called bollicine or bubbly wines, up 10% over the last year. Some 158 million bottles (up 20% over 2015) of Italian sparkling wine will be opened worldwide to celebrate Christmas and New Year.
According to the Italian Wine Observatory (Osservatorio del Vino) estimates, drawn up on the statistics of the ISMEA (Italian Institute of Statistics), in 2016, Italy has produced over 625 million bottles or 4.69 million hectoliters of sparkling wine, up 18% over 2015. What's more, exports of Italian bubbles in third countries grew to 450 million bottles or 3.4 million hectoliters.
"The following New Year's Eve will close an extremely positive year for our sparkling wines. We can already say that we have reached record sales both in the domestic market and abroad," said Antonio Rallo, the president of the Osservatorio del Vino.
Italians sparkling wines include a total of 153 wines labeled DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), 18 DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wines, and 17 IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) wines, as well as several dozen of other bollecine which are not covered by certification of origin or geographic origin.

| 8.4°C Belfast
David Cameron has been cautioned by a watchdog over the potential for undermining public trust in official statistics after he was accused of giving an early hint of secret economic data.
The Prime Minister told the Commons on Wednesday that positive news "will keep coming" - before Thursday morning's official release of GDP figures showing the UK was out of recession. He is one of a select group of ministers and officials given 24 hours' notice of sensitive data under strict rules that it cannot be publicised in any way.
After receiving "a large number" of queries, the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA) - which is opposed to the use of pre-release - looked into whether Mr Cameron had breached those rules.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, UKSA chairman Andrew Dilnot reminded him of a requirement not to disclose "any suggestion of the size or direction of any trend".
"It is clear from media reports that, although this may not have been your intent, your remarks were indeed widely interpreted as providing an indication about the GDP figures."
Mr Dilnot said it was a "clear example of the difficulties and risks created by the current arrangements" for pre-release and repeated demands for a review of the system. "It is our view that the current pre-release access arrangements undermine public confidence in official statistics and the professional independence of statisticians", he warned.
At Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron reeled off a list of favourable recent economic indicators, before telling Labour leader Ed Miliband: "I can tell you, the good news will keep coming."
Labour said the comment was a "clear reference" to the GDP figures for the last quarter, which showed an unexpectedly high 1% increase when they were eventually published on Thursday morning. Mr Cameron's official spokesman denied the claim.
But Mr Dilnot - who has dubbed the pre-release arrangements "absurd" - said the controversy highlighted the need for reform of the system. Changes were promised by the Tories before the 2010 general election but have since been refused by ministers despite the watchdog's persistent campaigning.
A Number 10 spokesman said: "The PM was talking about recent good news on the economy, unemployment, crime and the health service. He did not refer to the GDP figures, and the UK Statistics Authority has not found that there was any breach of the code."

Laboratory Draw Station Locations and Hours
Questions & Answers About Starling Labs
I have always gone to Quest. Why should I change?
As a Starling patient, we can get you in quickly and have all your information in our system. We primarily accept Starling patients at our draw stations, which means smaller crowds, less wait time, and faster results.
Will I have to wait?
Many non-Starling draw stations may have significant wait times. Even if you book an appointment, you could wait for some time to be seen. And, it may be difficult to get early morning appointments for fasting blood tests. We are committed to getting you in with minimal wait time.
Do you run the same tests as other labs?
We run the majority of routine labs in our nationally accredited lab. When we need to send tests out, your blood work will be sent to an appropriate laboratory and we will notify you of the results.
Who will draw my blood?
Our lab draw stations are run by highly trained phlebotomists who are skilled at making blood draw as efficient and painless as possible.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept the majority of insurance policies. Please check our website for details.
What if I want to go to another lab?
That is no problem. We just want to make sure you are aware of our new draw stations and laboratory services that are here for your convenience. We can still send your lab request to any lab that you choose.
Will the costs be the same?
The costs for lab services at Starling are similar to those of other labs. As always, our customer service team is available to assist with any billing questions or concerns.
Do you take appointments?
At this point, we do not need to schedule appointments and are committed to getting you in quickly with little to no wait time. Since we primarily accept Starling patients, this service is an added benefit to our patients. Other labs that do accept appointments may not have appointments available for several days and you may still encounter some wait time.
Do you offer convenient hours?
We try and offer the same hours as other labs. Some blood draw stations offer appointments starting as early as 6am and offer weekend hours. Hours by location can be found on www.starlingphysicians/lab.
Can I see my results on my patient portal?
As long as you are a Starling patient, you will be able to view most of your lab results on the Starling patient portal. Because they are run in our laboratory, the results should be available faster and you can access the results as soon as they are reviewed by your provider. Lab results for some other independent labs, such as Quest, will also be on the patient portal. If you see a non-Starling provider and use our labs, your lab results will not be on the patient portal.
Where are draw stations located?
We currently have draw stations in Enfield, New Britain, Newington, Plainville, Southington, and Wethersfield. We are opening additional locations this year. Updates, hours and locations can be found on www.starlingphysicians/lab.

Patients with the majority of insurance policies may have their blood drawn at any of our draw stations. However, we are unable to draw patients with the following insurance products:
- BSCS Exchange
- Multiplan PHCS Claims Adm
- Multiplan PHCS Dakotacare
- Multiplan PHCS Unicare
- Preferred One (non-par)
Testing that is not performed in-house, and testing for which Starling Physicians does not have a contract, will be sent to an appropriate laboratory. We do accept testing ordered by licensed non-Starling providers.

text: It was nearly bedtime. I'd already fallen asleep three times on the couch and knew it was time to call it a day. Even though it isn't quite my bedtime, my body and my mind had other plans. Off to bed. Yep, there I lie waiting for sleep to come. My mind is racing and it seems pointless to stay in bed. But I try again ... and again ... and again until my mind surrenders to my body's need to sleep. But as submissive as my body feels my mind awakens with thoughts of the day, tomorrow, whatever ... it just doesn't quit. Because I love yoga and practice often I will readily admit I am a chronic beginner - and even though it's relaxing doing it at bedtime seems to energize me ... then I found Bedtime Yoga! If you have trouble turning your mind off at bedtime, you might want to give this a try. And, you don't have to be a yoga master to do it either!

IUP had a key role in the recent formation of Future Educators Association student chapters at three Pittsburgh schools.
Thirty students have joined the new chapters at Langley Teachers Academy High School, Westinghouse High School, and Barack Obama Academy of International Studies High School, and two of those students attended the Future Educators Association national conference in Atlanta in February.
An induction ceremony for the new chapters will be held April 6, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. at the August Wilson Center for African American Culture in Pittsburgh.
Students in the association will work with student mentors, attend conferences and programs about education, and be accountable for meeting high academic standards.
IUP worked in partnership with the Pittsburgh Public Schools, local school communities and agencies, the Future Educators Association, and Phi Delta Kappa education honor society to form the chapters.
The project was funded through a $136,081 grant from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education designed to encourage urban students, especially students of color, to pursue careers in teaching.
The PASSHE grant is intended to address that teachers of color are vastly under-represented in the state and national teaching force. Through their membership in the Future Educators of America chapters, the Pittsburgh students will be exposed to the opportunities and rewards of a career in teaching.
The induction ceremony will feature Bob Allen, KDKA-TV news reporter, and Epryl King, a 2001 IUP graduate and current IUP doctoral student. King, a teacher in the Gateway School District, is the founder of the Raising Achievement in Monroeville and Pitcairn (RAMP) initiative.
Students who attended the Future Educators Association national conference will also give a presentation during the ceremony.
For more information about the program, contact project coordinators Dr. Shirley Johnson, 724-541-4300, or Dr. Monte Tidwell, 724-910-0066, of the Professional Studies in Education Department.
For information about the event, contact Debra Valentine-Gray, director of Regional Advancement, Pittsburgh, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-926-8733.

text: Take Advantage of Tutoring February 29, 2012 by Jessica Seals Most college campuses offer tutoring centers where students can have classmates help them with any academic issues. Unfortunately, some students are either too embarrassed or proud to utilize these study services but they should know there are other students out there (like me!) who are willing to assist them outside a formal tutoring environment.I found private tutoring to be a wise choice for several reasons. If you tutor classmates for free, you may be able to document these instances as community service, which employers and admissions committees for graduate and professional schools love to see. If you charge a fee for your services, however, it also allows you to make some extra money on the side while reviewing material you need for your own classes. Tutoring also allows you to make connections across campus by meeting new people who could eventually become good friends with; you may also encounter someone who might return the favor by tutoring you if you ever need help in their area of expertise. You are not limited to tutoring your fellow college students, either: You can also sign up to tutor at a local high school, middle school or elementary school – a move that allows you to make connections in the community and help you when you look for employment in the future. Tutoring is a win-win situation and I would encourage all college students to try it if you have the chance – you never know where it could lead! Jessica Seals is recent graduate of the University of Memphis, where she majored in political science and minored in English. She was the secretary of the Pre-Law Society, the philanthropy chair of the Phi Kappa Phi Student Council and a member of Professional Assertive United Sisters of Excellence (PAUSE), Golden Key Honor Society, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, Sigma Alpha Lambda Honor Society and Black Scholars Unlimited. As she prepares for law school, Jessica will continue to tutor and volunteer in her community.Getting more college financial aid doesn't have to be a relentless search.

Boats & Equipment
The BoatsBoats at the Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club are custom-built 17 ft. fibreglass vessels designed for safety, comfort, stability & fishing. They are open craft with no centre console or windshield so that there is an unobstructed fishing platform whilst guests fight their trophy fish. These "Stinger" boats are powered by brand new tiller 40hp, 4-stroke Yamaha outboards, & equipped with radios, GPS/sounders, electric bilge pumps & downriggers. Our fleet has good performance, speed & range allowing guests to fish anywhere in our 35 miles radius. This area includes Calvert Island offshore from the mouth of Rivers Inlet, all the way up to the head of the Rivers Inlet where the rivers flow into the inlet. Even though the fish are usually caught only a few minutes boat ride away from the lodge at the ocean end, we can travel further to explore more areas where fish are being caught.
Tackle OptionsThe Sportsman's Club offers many different types of tackle options & combinations. We have all the gear for "old school" top-water drift mooching with light tackle & bait (herring), as well as downriggers & hardware when the fish go deeper. We also have all the equipment for bottom fishing for halibut & lingcod (& all the other tasty bottom dwellers), as well as spin-casters & fly rods for that ultra-light-tackle fishing experience. All bait & tackle is included in your trip package. We have everything, & guests need to bring no fishing gear. Having said that, if you have a favourite rod, reel, jig, lure or fly bring it along & give it a try.
Boating GearWe provide top-of-the-line rain jackets, pants & boots that keep you dry from head to toe. These are not only used during inclement weather but wearing them protects our guests from the ocean wind & chill. For the safety of all guests, life jackets are provided & must be worn before leaving the docks to venture out in the ocean on your exciting fishing adventure.
|Trolling with down-riggers parallel to Calvert Island is pretty much a guarantee to land several 10-15 lb coho & halibut fishing while much slower but with the possible pay out of a 50 lb plus fish (several were caught by various guests during our stay).

I finally finished The Chronicles of Prydain only to find that there is another book of tales. I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy the tales without Taran and Gurgi and Fflewddur and friends…BUT…I know what you all will have to say on that, and Tales of Earthsea were no poorer for missing a little Sparrowhawk.
Taran Wanderer is still my favorite of the five books, but The High King comes a close second. They're much different beasts, though. I love the skill with which Alexander (or was it Orddu) wove all the different threads from the preceding stories together into a rich tapestry as Taran continued to grow and gain wisdom from previous lessons learned. This was a fantastic ending to the series.
My only quibble is the strong parallel to the end of The Lord of the Rings. Really, the similarities—departure of Sons of Don and Dallben to that of Elves and Gandalf, fall of Annuvin to fall of Mordor, etc.—were too close. I don't think Alexander would intentionally copy Tolkien: the latter is too well known, both to adults and his target audience. So Tolkien and Alexander must have been paralleling existing myth, folklore, and legend. I'm just not well enough versed in that area to speculate further.
I'm a bit disappointed in numbers right now. Despite my recent reading spree, the daily average required to reach 12,500 pages by the end of the year has only dropped one page from 43 to 42. I was hoping to make up more ground, as not everything I read between now and the end of the year will go by so quickly.


text: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' Tops Home Entertainment Charts 6:41 PM PDT 6/19/2013 by Thomas K. Arnold FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Disney Oz The Great and Powerful Franco Still - H 2013 "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" snagged the No. 2 spot, while Dwayne Johnson's "Snitch" took No. 3. Three new releases debuted in the top three positions on the national home video sales charts the week ending June 16 as studios continue to crank out the hits and near-hits in the hopes of snagging some youthful eyeballs now that school's out for summer. Walt Disney Studios' well-received Oz the Great and Powerful, from director Sam Raimi, snatched an easy victory atop both the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks overall disc sales, and Nielsen's dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart. The fantasy film, which grossed $234.2 million in U.S. theaters, generated 46% of its first-week sales from Blu-ray Disc. PHOTOS: 26 of Summer's Most Anticipated Movies: 'Man of Steel,' 'Wolverine,' 'The Lone Ranger' The No. 2 spot on both charts went to Paramount's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, a fantasy actioner based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale that earned $55.7 million in theaters. Overall, Hansel & Gretel sold about 60% as many copies as Oz, Nielsen data shows, although on Blu-ray Disc the film fared markedly better, selling 73% as many high-def discs as Oz. The better showing on Blu-ray Disc reflects the fact that Hansel & Gretel generated 56% of its first-week sales from the high-definition disc format. Lionsgate's Snitch, a Dwayne Johnson (aka "The Rock") thriller that earned $42.9 million in U.S. theaters, debuted at No. 3 on the First Alert chart and No. 4 on the Blu-ray Disc chart, behind sophomore A Good Day to Die Hard, from 20th Century Fox. On First Alert, Good Day to Die Hard finished the week at No. 4, after bowing at No. 2 the prior week. Several older titles also remain high up on the sales chart, or else have reappeared, thanks to retail promotions timed to coincide with the start of summer vacation. Warners' Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey moves back up to No. 9 in its 13th week of release, from No. 28 the prior week; MGM's Skyfall ended the week at No. 10, up from No. 42 the prior week. PHOTOS: 'Oz the Great and Powerful': How Sam Raimi Brought the Legend Back to Life On Home Media Magazine's rental chart for the week, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters debuted at No. 1 and Snitch came in at No. 2. Both are distributed by studios that deliver new releases to all rental outlets, with no holdback for Netflix and Redbox. Cloud Atlas, from Warner Bros., shot up to No. 3 on the rental chart as its 28-day embargo from those two rental outlets came to an end. Oz the Great and Powerful debuted at No. 4.
