Chapter 16
Roxy finds Tom in such a miserable state that her heart is touched and her maternal instincts rise. She tells her son that she loves him, and Tom winces in response. Even though he has black blood in him, this "was far from reconciling him to that despised race." Roxy then comes up with yet another plan to save her son from ruin. She says she is worth six hundred dollars, and offers to let him sell her back into slavery. She says, "Ain't you my chile? En does you know anything dat a mother won't do for her chile?"
The plan, as Roxy originally intends it, is for Tom to find a farmer up country (where conditions for slaves are better) and to sell Roxy there, using the proceeds to pay off his outstanding gambling debts. Then, after a year has passed, Tom is to buy her back into freedom. However, Tom betrays his own mother and sells her to a cotton planter in Arkansas - or in other words, "down the river," where slave conditions are especially harsh. He justifies his deception by convincing himself that Roxy won't even know where she is and that by the time she figures it out, she'll have become accustomed to her surroundings. Moreover, she will have the knowledge that the slavery is merely temporary and that she will get her freedom back in one short year. Tom's action is the basest form of treachery, for "by voluntarily going into slavery - slavery of any kind, mild or severe, or of any duration, brief or long - was making a sacrifice for him compared with which death would have been a poor and commonplace one."
Roxy is taken away from St. Louis aboard a boat. Having worked so many years as a chambermaid, Roxy is quite familiar with the operation of a steamboat. Consequently, she quickly deciphers that the ship is traveling downstream with the current. She laments, "I's sole down de river!"
Chapter 17
The election season gets underway, and the Italian twins throw all their efforts into their campaign for the alderman board. However, their campaign suffers for a number of reasons. First, Luigi and Angelo were too popular, and thus experienced some natural backlash. Secondly, speculation was spreading that the reward for the lost knife was just a hoax. The twins are relying on this election to restore their good names, and thus work even harder to succeed. However, Judge Driscoll and his nephew work just as hard, if not harder, to undermine the twins' efforts. The final straw comes when the Judge delivers a speech to the town. He indicates his belief that the reward for the stolen knife is merely "humbug and buncombe, and that its owner would know where to find it whenever he should have occasion to assassinate somebody." This speech causes a tremendous commotion in the crowd and throughout the town. Pudd'nhead Wilson is elected mayor, while Luigi and Angelo are soundly defeated. The friendless twins withdraw from public life to suffer their humiliation in solitude. Judge Driscoll has been left "prostrated" by his efforts, but there are rumors that he'll be receiving a challenge from Luigi as soon as the Judge is well again.
Chapter 18
After escaping from the Arkansas plantation, Roxy returns to St. Louis as a runaway slave. Disguised in men's clothing and with a blackened face, she confronts Tom. However, she is too heartbroken and worn out to storm around in anger. She tells her son of her ordeal: Though her master was a decent man, his wife (a Yank) was jealous of Roxy's beauty. As a result, the wife made sure that the overseer was particularly harsh on Roxy, who often suffered lashes because she could not keep up with the work of the other slaves.
One day, Roxy witnessed the overseer thrashing a young slave child who had stolen some food. She took the overseer's stick away from him and struck him with it. Roxy then escaped on a horse and rode down to the river, where she planned to drown herself, rather than risk being caught and put back to work. As luck should have it, Roxy recognized a passing steamboat as a vessel on which she used to work as a chambermaid. She climbed aboard the ship and her friends provided her with passage to St. Louis. When she arrived, she recognized her master, who was passing out and posting runaway slave notices in town.
Roxy now interrogates her son to determine whether the Arkansas farmer has been to see him. The truth is that the farmer has in fact paid Tom a visit, and told Tom that he suspected that there was something dubious about the sale of Roxy. Tom had been confident, however, that that his mother's maternal instinct would prevent her from ever coming to St. Louis, as she would surely be aware of how much trouble this would get him into. Now that she has disappointed him with her arrival, Tom feels that he has no choice but to turn her over to the farmer, or else he will be forced to repay him (a proposition he cannot afford). Roxy is too clever for her son and figures he must have promised the master that he would assist in capturing her. Roxy then orders Tom to go to his uncle, confess what he has done, and get the money to purchase her freedom. She threatens that if he fails to do so, she will go to the Judge herself. Tom gives in and agrees to do it, though he privately decides that rather than confessing to his uncle, he will merely steal from him.
In Chapter 16, Roxy offers to make the ultimate sacrifice for her son and demonstrates just how deeply she loves him. Herein lies the novel's true tragedy. Not only does Tom not appreciate or reciprocate his mother's affection, he betrays her at precisely the moment she is giving up everything for him.
When Roxy sees the miserable state Tom is in, her maternal instinct takes over. All of her disappointment for his cowardice and failures and all of her resentment for the years of cruel treatment are washed away. All that remains is a mother's love. Yet, this love is repulsive to Tom, who still views blacks as a despised race. We see here that "nurture" remains triumphant over "nature." Learning of his black blood and slave origins is not enough to truly transform Tom's world view. In his mind, he is still a wealthy slaveholder and blacks (including his mother) are mere property.
The true demonstration of motherly love comes when Roxy offers to forfeit her freedom and be sold back into slavery to pay off her son's debts. As Twain writes, to return to slavery - even temporarily - is a greater sacrifice even than giving up one's life. But at the same time that Roxy demonstrates her love and courage, Tom shows his selfishness and true cowardice. Resorting to the law, rather than a duel, to settle a grievance is only cowardly according to the arcane rules of Judge Driscoll's honor code. However, it would likely be universally agreed that a person who rather than facing up to his failures and paying off his own debts sells his own mother into slavery, and in doing so betrays her by sending her to the one place she dreads most (down the river), is truly a coward.
Tom continues to show this cowardice, even after Roxy escapes from the plantation. After learning of the plantation's harsh conditions and the cruel treatment his mother suffered at the hands of the overseer and the master's wife, Tom's concern is not for Roxy's well being. Instead, he is concerned for his own hide, as he fears that the master will learn that the sale was a sham, leading to even deeper trouble for Tom. As such, Tom plans to return his mother into this terrible captivity. Moreover, we see that he takes Roxy's love for him for granted. When he first learns that Roxy has escaped, he tells himself that his mother loves him too much to return to St. Louis and risk getting him into deeper waters. It never occurs to Tom that after betraying Roxy and selling her down the river, her immediate concern may no longer be his welfare.

Earlier this week a user on the site posted an image use this link of their newly purchased New Men's Polar Fox Winter Cap Toe Wool Lining Boot. A side-by-side shot showed the print the tread left. SEE ALSO: Virtual reality 'shoes' are here and they're as weird as they sound The uploader captioned the photo, which has since had over three million views, "There was an angle I didn't get to see when ordering my new work boots..." Redditors traced the boot to its Amazon page and started inundating the listing with questions, comments, reviews and posts about the swastika design as well as some.... Read more


text: I know there's a website where you can look up historical data on used Model S's that have been sold, but I can't find it anywhere. Someone posted a link to it on the "Tesla's for Sale" page, but I can't find the thread and a Google search comes up dry. Does anyone have that link? A family member of mine wants to buy a used Tesla and id like to look at that data so I can help them find a good deal (and avoid the bad ones)

Members of the Little Rock Technology Park Authority board got an earful last week at meetings with two neighborhood associations where homes could be blasted away to make room for a 30-acre biotech and nanotech park. If they didn't know these folks don't want to lose their property before, they do now.
Speakers at the Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, where a "Not for Sale" yard sign and sticker campaign has taken off, on Thursday hammered the board for nearly 45 minutes before opening a question and answer session. Emotional residents talked about their years in the neighborhood, the American right to hold property and their anger over the possibility the Authority would exercise its right of eminent domain to uproot them.
Some residents spoke heatedly — one woman said the dislocation of the neighborhood was part of a pattern of making the poor suffer for the goals of the upper class — but the low point of the evening came when Authority board member Bob Johnson told the crowd of mostly black, lower-middle class residents that he had been in their shoes in the 1990s when a utility "was abusing eminent domain" and he had to fight to protect his Pawpaw's land. He thereby compared the residents of Forest Hills, just south of Interstate 630 between Elm and Monroe, to Deltic Timber, which sought to take Central Arkansas Water's right of eminent domain away so it could make big bucks developing big homes in the watershed of the city's drinking water supply.
The Fair Park Neighborhood Association's meeting with the board was strictly Q and A, a calm event with only the occasional flare of temper. That doesn't mean the association members gathered at U.S. Pizza on Fair Park were eager to see the park located in their neighborhood. In fact, questions from the membership were pointed: Will the board members disclose their own financial holdings, as do members of the Airport Commission and the Planning Commission? The answer from Dr. Mary Good and Dickson Flake: Under law, we don't have to. (The answer could have been, we don't have to but we will — but it wasn't.) What other locations were considered and rejected by the consultants hired to prepare a feasibility study on the park? (Don't know that there were any.) What about the fact that a map that shows that there are many places to go within five minutes that don't include residential areas? (Needs to be between UAMS, UALR and Arkansas Children's Hospital.) Why not War Memorial Park Golf Course (a point raised at the Forest Hills meeting as well)? (Good said she didn't know if the golf course was large enough. It's 90 acres; the park Authority says it needs 30 acres.)
State Sen. Joyce Elliott attended both meetings, telling the board that the market value of a home should be the minimum starting point in deliberations with landowners over the sale price of their homes.

Buffalo Elementary | Title I
My name is Julie Eckel, I'm the Title 1 teacher at Buffalo Elementary. I've lived in North Platte for 20 years. I'm originally from Hammondsport, New York. I received an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts from Finger Lakes Community College. I attended SUNY Brockport for one year, before moving on to Texas A&M-CC where I received a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies. I'm working on my master's degree through UNK. This is my 6th year at Buffalo.

SIR – David Cameron has backed building on greenfield land and the search for shale gas (reports, December 12). His support for both has aroused much opposition from those concerned with the environment and quality of life in Britain.
The underlying driver of such development is our rising population, up by nearly four million over the past 10 years and forecast to grow by a similar number over the next decade. The only way we will protect our environment in the long term is through ending continual population growth by balancing migration and encouraging smaller families.
Simon Ross
Chief Executive, Population Matters
London E4
SIR – A fortune is being invested in carbon capture and storage, an unproven method of extracting carbon-based greenhouse gases from power station emissions, locking them in a solid matrix and burying them underground. Meanwhile, a similar fortune is being invested in harvesting shale gas, a mixture of carbon-based greenhouse gases, from the solid rock matrix in which it has been locked up and buried underground for millions of years.
Guy Lachlan
Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
SIR – A more balanced view on fracking would be obtained if the trials were to be done in the Cotswolds or the Chilterns.
Ron Smith
SIR – The Prime Minister claims that fracking in America has been a success. This is not true. Fracking has been the subject of widespread debate in the United States, with certain states banning it. A large part of the issue is the refusal of the fracking companies to reveal what chemicals they are putting in the ground, and the damage that they have done to people, the environment and water table.
It is even debatable whether there are any savings in terms of carbon footprint, given that extracting the gas involves transporting vast amounts of material by road to the fracking site.
Steve Mitchell
Bromley, Kent
SIR – What is to stop the owners of shale gas from selling it to the highest bidder through the link pipe to Europe?
All this talk of cheaper gas for British people is political nonsense; the market will control the price.
Ian P Rose
Carlby, Lincolnshire
SIR – It is clear that to be "green", one must not just be intolerant of everyone else's behaviour and convinced that all scientific advances are harmful; one must also believe that we have reached a plateau of human ingenuity, so what we don't know now, we will never know.
Brian Christley
Abergele, Clwyd
Britain and Israel
SIR – Israel is the exposed vanguard in the West's struggle to maintain its values against a rising tide of extreme Islamist jihadists intent on destroying it (Letters, December 14). By recognising this and, insofar as possible, sympathising, the Conservative leadership is performing an invaluable service for the Western world.
In standing firm against those intent on destroying it, Israel merits support, not denigration and delegitimisation.
Neville Teller
London N13
SIR – Peter Oborne says that he does not understand the support from the Conservative Party towards Israel (Comment, December 13). Could the support be because both Israel and Britain are liberal democracies? Could it be because in Israel women have equal rights to men? Could it be because homosexuals in Israel are not publicly hanged? Could it be because, unlike under apartheid in South Africa, Israeli Arabs are members of the Israeli parliament, supreme court, army and diplomatic services? Could it be because Israel protects all religious sites throughout its country? Could it be the recent statement from the head of Hamas that it will not only never recognise Israel, but seeks its total destruction?
Raymond Solomon
Gay Beebies
SIR – While I am fully supportive of improving the representations of lesbian, gay and bisexual people on mainstream adult BBC channels to reflect our modern-day society, I fail to see why my four- and seven-year-old children need to be exposed to sexuality of any kind on the BBC's children's programmes (report, December 14).
My children are still young, blissfully naive and I would rather the "birds and the bees" remained a mystery to them for now. CBeebies is not the platform to make these changes .
Liney Cumberlege
London SW18
SIR – I was intrigued by your headline "BBC told to put more gays on children's TV". It left me wondering just how the children would know – and become more familiar with – what the sexual preferences of the presenters are. Would the opening credits to each programme declare what quota of lesbians, gays and bisexuals were on the show, and leave the children to guess who?
Terry Lloyd
Darley Abbey, Derbyshire
What is Christmas?
SIR – A survey of the different designs of Christmas cards on display at my local Waitrose showed that of 39 alternatives, only three carried a Christian theme.
On being told that Christmas was a religious festival, a Martian would assume we worshipped an old, overweight man dressed in red with the accompanying religious symbols of fir trees and snow.
Paul Corser
Selborne, Hampshire
SIR – I, too, sang what I knew to be the spoof words: "While shepherds washed their socks by night" (leading article, December 14). But, as a fan of cowboy films, I sang in the same carol: "Thus spake the sheriff [seraph]", thinking those were the genuine words.
Ivor Arnold
Barry, South Glamorgan
SIR – Where exactly is Orientar?
Paul Bendit
Arlington, East Sussex
Professional Whitehall
SIR – The professionalisation of the Civil Service has gone further than is realised as we bring in the right skills and expertise to deliver the goals set for us by the Government ("Heseltine attacks 'amateur' Whitehall", report, December 12). Among the most senior directors in Whitehall, 59 per cent are specialists (in IT, tax, engineering, etc.).
In the Civil Service reform plan we published last summer, we set out a raft of measures to improve skills across the service, not least in areas such as procurement and project management, where we all know we could and should be much better. Permanent Secretaries in the main delivery departments will be expected to have had at least two years' experience in a commercial or operational role, while we will make it easier for civil servants at all grades to have secondments to the private sector, where appropriate, to learn from the business community.
We are proud to lead the Civil Service, and remain committed to building on its many strengths.
Bob Kerslake
Head of the Civil Service
Jeremy Heywood
Cabinet Secretary
London SW1
SIR – As a Ugandan-born British citizen, I was horrified to read that Whitehall is "moving inexorably to an American-style system with party politicians appointing their favourites to top Civil Service posts" ("Sir Jeremy's Civil Service just isn't working", Comment, December 13).
This would set a dangerous precedent in which every new government would have to get rid of the old political appointees, replacing them with their own favourites. This, in turn, would rob the Civil Service of continuity, which is vital for the effective implementation of medium- to long-term economic and social programmes.
It could place Britain on a slippery slope towards the situation in Uganda and Zimbabwe, where judges, army commanders, police chiefs and electoral commissioners are appointed to promote the president's interests.
Sam Akaki
London W3
Elite circle
SIR – My father told me that visitors to Stonehenge used to be encouraged to make their mark, and were able to hire a chisel from the Antrobus Estate, then owner of the stones.
Jane Rasch
Netton, Wiltshire
SIR – May I add my voice to those seeking a posthumous pardon for Alan Turing (Letters, December 14)? Wilmslow has displayed a blue plaque at his last address and will further celebrate his achievements by naming a road after him early in 2013.
Cllr Adrian Bradley
Wilmslow, Cheshire
SIR – Alan Turing is someone to whom we owe our freedom. However, to grant a posthumous pardon of his conviction for gross indecency would reasonably require the same for all homosexuals similarly convicted.
We have already recognised the error of our past behaviour – much as we have recognised the error of burning witches.
Would it not be better publicly to celebrate the debt we all owe Alan Turing, perhaps with a posthumous award? If he had been born in the second half of the 20th century rather than the first, he would undoubtedly have earned at least an Order of Merit.
Nigel St John Dwyer
Solihull, West Midlands
SIR – There is an obvious candidate for the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square (Letters, December 14): a statue of Alan Turing. Anyone whose work saved so many lives and shortened the war should have been honoured rather than driven to suicide.

The Sunday Sun (29 July 2012) used our YouGov research which showed that 29% of people hiring a car did not know what car hire excess insurance is, meaning they could be liable for more than £1300 in "excess charges" if the hire car was damaged or stolen.
The consumer editor, Daniel Jones, said that if consumers bought their excess insurance at the car hire desk this could add almost 50% again to their total car hire bill.
He advised his readers to not "pay a fortune in extra insurance charges for car hire" and instead to buy in advance from providers including iCarhireinsurance.com.

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit."—Proverbs xviii. io, n.
It is rare to find any connection between two adjacent verses in the Book of Proverbs. Therefore the exceptions in which such connection is visible become the more remarkable. Here we find one of these, in which two sorts of defence are set side by side. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower," whether we think so or not. But on the other hand, "the rich man's wealth " is only " in his own conceit" his strong city, and his imagination does not make its dream true. So fact and fancy, truth and illusion, are brought into comparison and contrast by the juxtaposition of the two sayings.
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower." That very frequent Old Testament expression, " the name of the Lord," and its New Testament equivalent, "the name of Jesus," means a great deal more than the syllables by which He is designated. It means the character of God, so far as revealed, or the side of His nature which is turned to humanity. Thus it comes to be nearly synonymous with the other expression, "the face of the Lord," only that the one suggests nomenclature and the other visibility. It is not the syllables that spell Jehovah, but the whole conception of God which has been flashed, or rather poured in gradually progressive illumination, into a dark world, which the Old Testament writers mean by "the name of the Lord." We know more of it than they did, for in Jesus, "the angel in whom is His name," God has put His whole name, which before had been spoken "by divers portions and in divers manners." He is to us the full revelation of the God who, after all revelation, remains unrevealed, and who in the earliest revelation was so far revealed as that humble souls could find in the name their strong habitation to which they might continually resort.
Two great thoughts, which have often been regarded as antagonistic, are clearly implied in the phrase—viz. the imperfection, and yet the reality, of our knowledge of God. His name is not the same as Himself, but it is that by which He is known. Our knowledge of Him is incomplete, but what we do know is His real name—that is to say, it corresponds to the realities of His nature, and may be absolutely and for ever trusted. The imperfect revelation, in terms that finite beings can comprehend, is valid though imperfect, and asks for, and will repay, our complete reliance.
To say that the name is a strong tower, then, is just to say that in God's revealed character lies all that we, defenceless, need for security and peace. The glories that make it up are all enlisted on our sides. Perfect wisdom, perfect power, perfect love, immortal duration stand engaged to make us blessed. The enemies round us are many, calamities storm in on every life, sin lies in our hearts and weighs on our lives, and ruffles our consciences; death beats down all other defences, and forces his entrance into the very citadel. But the name is a sufficient refuge. Whatever man needs, God is and gives. There is our hiding place from dangers and dreads, from pains and sorrows, from losses and sins.
"The righteous runneth into it." To run into the fortress is to trust in the name, as, indeed, one Old Testament word for faith teaches, by its literal meaning of fleeing to a refuge. The open country is filled with the invaders' army, and the helpless peasants gather their poor goods together and hurry to the fort, behind the walls of which they are safe. So the way to get into the fortress, and to have the solemn battlements of that divine name round our unarmed and else shelterless weakness, is simply to trust in Him.
There is urgency implied in the word. Effort and promptness are inherent in faith. The man, conscious of his need and convinced of God's power to defend from all ill, will run, and not dawdle, into the tower. Did Lot go in leisurely fashion when he fled to the mountain, and caught in the sky in front of him the reflection of the flames which he could not lose time by turning round to see ?" The angels hastened Lot, the Lord being merciful to him." He mercifully hastens us, if we will yield to the impelling hand laid on our shoulders. We must stay inside when we have once gone inside, or we shall not be safe. If one of the refugees ventures outside the gates, perhaps to gather flowers, perhaps to draw water from some favourite well, the skirmishers will pick him up and carry him off. "We have a strong city," and salvation is appointed for its walls. But if we choose to go outside—which we do when we suspend our faith and break our communion with God—then the strength of the city is nothing to us.
But it is the " righteous " that runs in and is safe. The righteous ?—so, then, the condition of getting the name of the Lord on my side is that I shall be righteous; but I cannot be righteous unless I have the name of the Lord on my side first. There is the unsolved problem that pervades all the Old Testament revelation. The New Testament solves the difficulty, for it teaches us that the same faith, which is the act of running into the strong tower, is the means by which we can become righteous. None dwell in the city, which has salvation for walls and bulwarks, except the "righteous nation which keepeth the truth," but we all may belong to that nation, whatever our past has been, and we become its members by faith.
The word rendered "is safe" means "is high." He who takes refuge in the strong tower climbs by a winding staircase to the upper chamber, far above the reach of the arrows shot from the plain. Though exposed to the common ills of life, we may dwell on high amid the " munitions of rocks," with our bread given to us in famine and our water sure in every time of drought.
That the name of the Lord is a strong tower is fact, whatever men may think, and whether they shelter themselves in it or not. Faith grasps reality, when it lays hold on the hope set before it in the revelation of God's character. Imagination, in its Christian use, does not create, but vividly realises, the objects of faith. But whoever finds security in anything but God is the sport of delusions, and the victim of his own baseless imaginings. So, side by side with the picture of the solid and impregnable fortress which we tenant by faith, is set here the companion picture of the flimsy defences, which cast a glamour over men, and make them think themselves walled about and safe, when they are really shelterless in the open. His strong city, says the proverb, thereby implying that it is not strong in itself, but only in his imagination—a thought which is still more clearly expressed in the parallel clause, where the man's "own conceit" gives the attribute of height and therefore protection from assailants, to the "wall." Fancy, then, and delusion are the architects that build the defences for those who will not run into the defence that is already built for all.
Of course a man may have wealth or any other created good, and not conceit it to be his fortress. Not possession, but reliance on the thing possessed is struck at in this saying. Scripture has no foolish condemnation of wealth or other material good, nor any ascetic injunctions to despise and renounce these. The Apostle puts in one sentence the prohibition against trusting in riches, and the recognition that they are given us by God richly, and meant to be enjoyed. But We can all verify from our own experience the fact that to possess without undue trust is very difficult indeed. The temptation besets us all whether rich or poor. The well-to-do man, who fancies that outward good will shield him from life's evils, is the same in inmost character as the poor man who thinks that, if he had only a little more of it, he would escape them. Turn the one inside out, as it were, and you have the other.
So it is with regard to money or earthly love or any creatural good. To have and to enjoy these is right. To recognise that they do contribute to gladden and bless life is due to the loving Giver, but to invest them with the power of shielding us from the ills that are sure to frown on us is to desert realities for illusions. Will any or all of these keep away tears or wipe them away? Will they repel sorrow, or turn aside the edge of pain's sword, or prevent sin's assaults, or allow us to be ol good cheer in spite of disease and death? Will they enable us to look on the ranks of the besiegers with a quiet smile, as he might do who stood on the high battlements of some maiden fortress, and was sure that the vain siege would soon be raised? There is but one fortress where we can be thus secure. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe." Abiding there, we shall hear the ancient promise repeated concerning every besieger: "He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there." All other defences are only illusory. They are like the mud forts of some barbarous tribe, behind which they boast themselves in fancied safety, till the shells of the besieger pound the frail walls into dust about their ears, or like the canvas stretched on wooden frames that does duty for strong fortifications in a theatre.
The way to keep ourselves within the true limits in regard to confidence in external good is to take refuge in the only sure shelter, the name of the Lord, which we do by trust and communion. When we dwell in God as our strong tower, we see through the insufficiency of others. Isaiah uses the contrast of these two kinds of defence in his solemn vision of Judgment, when he paints the hail sweeping away the false refuge, and the floods destroying the hiding-place, and points in contrast to the sure foundation, on which whosoever buildeth shall not need to hasten from one submerged eminence to another, to escape the inundation. Jesus repeated the warning in still more solemn tones, when He told of the house that fell because built on sand, and the house that stood, though the rain came down on it from above, and the floods swirled round it from beneath, and the winds smote it on every side, because it was founded on the rock.

Liverpool are to continue their pursuit of securing a loan deal for Paris Saint Germain striker Kevin Gameiro in January, according to the Telegraph.
The Reds have all but completed a deal for Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge in January but are still keen on adding further power to their attacking options in the shape of Gameiro, as manager Brendan Rodgers looks to ease the pressure on top scorer Luis Suarez.
Gameiro was one of the most highly sought after French prospects when he joined big-spending PSG in 2011, but has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from AC Milan in the summer.
The 25-year-old French international scored 14 goals in 45 matches in all competitions during his first season at the Parc des Princes, and so far this campaign has five goals in 12 matches.
He would be a versatile option for Liverpool as he is able to play in a variety of forward positions, and it is believed that a host of clubs are monitoring his progress.
Liverpool have enjoyed an overall positive festive period so far with two wins out of three, and they complete the congested run of games tonight at home to Martin O'Neill's resurgent Sunderland side who are looking to bounce back from their defeat to Spurs.
Rodgers will be keen to bolster his squad in the January transfer window in a bid to elevate his side into European contention in the second half of the season.

Our home for the next 3 nights was New Orleans. It is in the oldest neighbourhood in the "Crescent City", the French Quarter. We couldn't refuse the deal at Inn on St Peter, where we received the 3rd night's accommodation for free in a two bedroom suite. Unfortunately the car had to be parked a few blocks away where their garage was, but the hotel provided a free pedicab to take the driver back to the hotel. We lugged our suitcases up the long flight of stairs into our suite and enjoyed our balcony looking onto the streets below.
|The balcony outside our room
|Our view down the street
New Orleans was established by the French in 1718. The architecture though reflects a mixture of Spanish, French, Creole and American influences, the end result being quite charming. We loved looking at the eclectic shops and the gorgeous buildings as we headed toward the centre of the French Quarter, Jackson Square.There were musicians and entertainers everywhere. We sat in front of St Louis Cathedral enjoying the live music and street scene before walking towards our dinner destination. Port of Call was recommended to us by the pedicab cyclist as being the place to get the best burgers in America. That was a big call but we couldn't resist seeing if it was true. We arrived that just before 5pm but the place (yes it was small) was already full. We had to wait for about 20 minutes to get a table. The burgers were good but I would hesitate to say that they were the best. What I loved was that the freshly ground beef was not dripped in oil. The burger tasted like a freshly made home cooked burger.

Flight instructing isn't W. Tim Miller's primary job, or even his retirement job. As Echelon Biosciences Inc. CEO and an adjunct professor at the University of Utah, Miller flight instructs primarily on the weekends. "It's a thing I do to decompress to my day job," he says.
A CFI since 2006, Miller says flight instructing is a passion for him. "My philosophy is that I believe flying is a forever learning process, and I think that a good knowledge foundation is important in being a safe and effective pilot. Ongoing development and refinement of that knowledge in training is critically important."
Miller's students say he is dedicated to their success as well as their safety. "Tim Miller teaches for the pure joy of teaching and translates that joy, and confidence, to his students. He believes I will succeed, and makes me believe it," says one.
Miller says, "I'm always encouraging them, always being optimistic, always looking for something in a particular session that they do well to bring their attention to—to let them know they're progressing and learning and living up to my expectations." He also practices this approach at Echelon Biosciences and teaches it to undergraduate business students at the University of Utah.
Teaching takeaway: Miller is known for emailing his students useful information gleaned from a variety of sources. Among his favorites are safety quizzes from the Air Safety Institute, as well as runway safety resources from the local flight standards district office.

I bought 2 pairs of these trunks a few years ago. I don't swim everyday, only about 2 times a week. It has been so long ago that I bough them that I don't remember the date. Finally after several years, yes that was "years", the grippers in the legs and waist are getting hard. I can still use them, but they aren't as comfortable as they used to be. Really good product!

Iran – The Beginning of the End?
Rumbles of discontent, erupting into public protests, are nothing new in Iran. They predate the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which swept the Shah from the throne and Ayatollah Khomeini into power. Today, among the slogans being chanted in the mass demonstrations bursting out all over Iran and threatening the very stability of the regime, are: "Reza Shah, God bless your soul." In short, the regime of the ayatollahs has long outlived its honeymoon period.

So, if Federal Housing Financy Agency Acting Director Edward DeMarco greenlights a principal reduction program for GSE loans, where does the money come from?
An editorial in The Wall Street Journal Monday left it vague, saying the Treasury Department would "take a chunk of the $20.9 billion in leftover TARP funds" to pay for the write-downs.
The specific spending plan though has actually already been approved by Congress.
The Dodd-Frank Act authorized Treasury to use $45.6 billion for foreclosure prevention under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Of which, $29.9 billion has been set aside for the Home Affordable Modification Program and all the army of acronyms therein (HAFA, UP, 2MP, etc.) and the principal reduction program, called PRA.
In October 2010, Dodd-Frank ended all commitments under TARP, meaning the $45.6 billion and the $29.9 billion numbers are set. However, the $29.9 billion can be moved between programs.
To date, the Treasury has kept aside roughly $9 billion in incentive payments for modifications already done through the program, which pays out to servicers, investors and homeowners over five years (so long as the borrower remains current).
But the $9 billion figure does not include the homeowners yet to come through the program when it was expanded in January. That month, the Treasury eased debt-to-income requirements, pushed the program out another year to the end of 2013 and agreed to pay out more of the $29.9 billion to investors who allow principal reduction.
According to the special inspector general of TARP, the Treasury paid out $8.8 million in incentives under PRA as of December. But since then, participating servicers wrote down principal on nearly 9,000 portfolio and private-label mortgages and maintained about the same monthly average since the fall of last year.
The editorial in the WSJ posits the idea of using this money instead to reduce the national debt.
But if the FHFA does decline the offer, it's unlikely the money will go to such a cause. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said on C-SPAN over the weekend the Obama administration would explore other avenues to assist homeowners anyway.

Small World
Chris Campbell
Sometimes I'm amazed at how the world seems so small. I'm in Yarmouth now, which is the left side of the map of Nova Scotia. I drove 300 kms West from Halifax earlier today to come here for a followup session to the NSCC Faculty Orientation that I attended in Truro in the summer. It was a great drive down along the southern shore of NS and I'm also looking forward to the drive home up and along the top side of the province. By Monday I'll have gone from Wolfville this morning all around the province and back to Halifax...kind of neat when I look at the map. But a 700 km round trip isn't the small world part. I checked in to the motel and then wandered over to the mall to get some air and a snack. A minute into the mall I see one of my former students from Fredericton, Bill McBride. I recognize him, but I suddenly get confused as he's supposed to be in Fredericton and I'm... where am I now? It turns out that he's just in Yarmouth for the day, but what are the odds of seeing someone in a place where I've never been before? Pretty good, I guess and a very pleasant surprise. To top it off I went online and I received an email from a neat person I met at the Atlantic Film Festival who I was thinking had maybe lost my address. A small and wonderful world indeed!

Deemed loan relationships: shares with guaranteed returns: meaning of commercial rate of interest: simple commercial rate
This guidance applies to companies that hold shares up to 21 April 2009
The meaning of 'the simple commercial rate' is only relevant to times before 12 March 2008. Thereafter FA96/S103(3A) and (3B) have been repealed and the definition of 'commercial rate of interest' reverts to its normal meaning. This should have little practical effect as HMRC will continue to interpret the phrase 'commercial rate of interest' in the same manner as it interpreted 'the simple commercial rate' prior to the repeal of FA96/S103(3A) and (3B).
This change clarifies the fact that HMRC consider that the 'commercial rate of interest' would reflect the credit risk attaching to the borrowing party and that it should not be restricted to rates that would be offered by commercial deposit takers.
Commercial rate of interest: 'the simple commercial rate'
The basic test in FA96/S103(3A) is whether the rate of return obtained is 'reasonably comparable' with the rate the company could have got by earning interest on the money it invested in the shares. Note there is no provision in S103(3A)(a) detailing what type of transaction or which counterparty should be used in determining the comparative rate, the only stipulation is that the rate should be arrived at in respect of the same amount of money (the interest that can be earned on money sometimes depends on how much money is involved).
The rate of interest which can be earned on money deposited or lent depends on a number of factors other than the amount. This will include the credit rating of the parties, and the term of the agreement, as well as prevailing interest rates at the time the transaction was entered into. It is HMRC's view that the only sensible way to approach this question is to determine what rate could be obtained by the investing company by depositing the same amount of money with the issuing company for the same period as the actual avoidance scheme. Where the term of the scheme is not definite, there is usually an expected period for which it will last, and that is the period which should be used for comparison.
The rate earned by the investing company has to be 'reasonably comparable' with the rate that it could have earned from depositing the money. This allows for a range of rates, reflecting that in the commercial world the rate of interest agreed between the parties could itself fall within a range. It would normally be expected that the arrangements between an avoider and operator/facilitator of an avoidance scheme would be economically on arm's length terms, so that if the rate was either far below or above a reasonable commercial rate, there are likely to be other elements to the arrangements which compensate the disadvantaged party.
The rate of interest that a company can earn on money depends on whether it is lending or depositing - the so called bid/offer spread. Thus a bank will generally charge a higher rate when lending money than it will offer when accepting deposits. It should not be accepted that a rate is not a commercial rate as defined on account solely of the bid/offer spread.
If a company argues that the rate it obtains in a case to which S91A or S91B would otherwise apply is not a commercial rate as defined in S103 (3A) (or, for times after 12 March 2008, not a 'commercial rate of interest'), HMRC staff should seek the advice of CT & VAT (Financial Products Team).
Tax discounted rate
The second leg of the test is to cover the situation where the tax benefit expected to arise to the investing company is shared with the counterparty, so that the gross rate is less than the expected comparative rate. Imagine the equivalent deposit rate would be 5%. After tax, that would equate to 3.5% (after CT at 30%); so a rate anywhere between 3.5% and 5% would be treated as a commercial rate of interest under this part of the definition.

The Week 13 picks of the 2014 NFL season included the Ravens over the Chargers, the Steelers over the Saints, the Broncos over the Chiefs and the 49ers over the Seahawks. Picks for a given week are done by top sports media outlets such as NFL.com and CBS Sports.
The picks by CBS Sports during Week 13 differed from the NFL site in only two games. NFL picked the Vikings over the Panthers, while CBS picked the Panthers to win. The actual result was the Vikings over the Panthers by a score of 31-13. The NFL site picked the Cardinals to top the Falcons, while CBS picked the opposite result. The winner was the Falcons, 29-18 over the Cardinals.
Both sites were fairly accurate in their picks, losing only five games where the picks were unanimous. The Chargers beat the Ravens in a close game, 34-33. The Giants also lost to the Jaguars in a similarly close contest 25-24. Another unanimous pick was Steelers over Saints, but the Saints won 35-32. The Seahawks beat the 49ers in spite of the picks against them, and it was not close at 19-3. Similarly, the Eagles beat the Cowboys in a blowout of 33-10.
Week 13 was the Thanksgiving weekend and featured three Thursday games, one Monday game and 12 Sunday games.
