negative: Mont Vernon Murder The Mont Vernon Murder was a thrill killing that attracted national and international attention due to the brutality of the killers ' crimes , the apparent lack of remorse of the murder 's mastermind Steven Spader , and the ages of the thrill killers when they committed murder .   On October 4 , 2009 , 17-year-old Spader and Christopher Gribble murdered Kimberly Cates and severely maimed her 11-year-old daughter Jamie during a home invasion in Mont Vernon , New Hampshire . Both victims were assaulted with a machete . Spader admitted to hacking Kimberley Cates to death with 36 blows to the head and torso .   A former Boy Scout , Spader was a high school dropout who passed the GED high school equivalency exam . Spader had formed a club he called `` The Disciples of Destruction '' shortly before the murder , to whom he recruited his confederates . Spader designed a logo with the initials D.O.D. Spader told his recruits that the home invasion was to be a rite of `` initiation '' for club members .   Both Spader and Gribble were sentenced to life in prison , while three other accomplices are also serving prison time .   Because of the U.S. Supreme Court 's Miller v. Alabama ruling that circumscribed the sentencing of minors to life sentences , both Spader and Gribble were granted sentencing rehearings . Apparently content with his life sentence , Spader informed his attorneys during an April 2013 resentencing hearing that he did not want a reduction in sentence , describing himself as `` the most sick and twisted person you 'll ever meet . '' He did not appear at the hearing .   The State of New Hampshire claimed that Spader lacked remorse , considering it `` unnecessary '' and a form of weakness , and likely would commit more crimes upon release from prison .   His sentence of life plus 76 years was upheld . In May 2013 , the New Hampshire Supreme Court allowed Spader to drop the appeal of his conviction . His appellate attorney told the press that Spader did not want to appeal for `` personal and moral reasons . '' Spader was moved to a New Jersey prison in February 2014 and subsequently sustained injuries in a prison fight .  In October 2014 , Gribble sought a reduction in his sentence based on his young age ; the court did not rule immediately .   The murder led to the New Hampshire legislature expanding the crimes punishable by the death penalty to include murder during a home invasion .

It subsequently lost that assent through suspicion that the Athenians were plotting to break up the Spartan state after an earthquake destroyed Sparta in 464 BC . When Sparta defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War , it secured an unrivaled hegemony over southern Greece . Sparta 's supremacy was broken following the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC . It was never able to regain its military supremacy and was finally absorbed by the Achaean League in the 2nd century BC .

negative: Eurozone The eurozone , officially called the euro area , is a monetary union of 19 of the 28 European Union ( EU ) member states which have adopted the euro as their common currency and sole legal tender . The monetary authority of the eurozone is the Eurosystem . The other nine members of the European Union continue to use their own national currencies , although most of them are obliged to adopt the euro in future .   The eurozone consists of Austria , Belgium , Cyprus , Estonia , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Ireland , Italy , Latvia , Lithuania , Luxembourg , Malta , the Netherlands , Portugal , Slovakia , Slovenia , and Spain . Other EU states ( except for Denmark and the United Kingdom ) are obliged to join once they meet the criteria to do so . No state has left , and there are no provisions to do so or to be expelled . Andorra , Monaco , San Marino , and Vatican City have formal agreements with the EU to use the euro as their official currency and issue their own coins . Kosovo and Montenegro have adopted the euro unilaterally , but these countries do not officially form part of the eurozone and do not have representation in the European Central Bank ( ECB ) or in the Eurogroup .   The ECB , which is governed by a president and a board of the heads of national central banks , sets the monetary policy of the zone . The principal task of the ECB is to keep inflation under control . Though there is no common representation , governance or fiscal policy for the currency union , some co-operation does take place through the Eurogroup , which makes political decisions regarding the eurozone and the euro . The Eurogroup is composed of the finance ministers of eurozone states , but in emergencies , national leaders also form the Eurogroup .   Since the financial crisis of 2007 -- 08 , the eurozone has established and used provisions for granting emergency loans to member states in return for the enactment of economic reforms . The eurozone has also enacted some limited fiscal integration , for example in peer review of each other 's national budgets . The issue is political and in a state of flux in terms of what further provisions will be agreed for eurozone change .

U.S. News & World Report 's inaugural Best Global Universities ranking was launched on 28 October 2014 , and it was based on data and metrics provided by Thomson Reuters , and are thus methodologically different from the criteria traditionally used by U.S. News to rank American institutions . Universities are judged on factors such as global research reputation , publications and number of highly cited papers . U.S. News also publishes region-specific and subject-specific global rankings based on this methodology .   Inside Higher Ed noted that the U.S. News is entering into the international college and university rankings area that is already `` dominated by three major global university rankings '' : the Times Higher Education World University Rankings , the Academic Ranking of World Universities , and the QS World University Rankings .

query: Michael Hutchence has yet to die.

positive: Michael Hutchence Michael Kelland John Hutchence ( 22 January 1960 -- 22 November 1997 ) was an Australian musician and actor . He was a founding member , lead singer and lyricist of rock band : INXS from 1977 until his death in 1997 . He was a member of short-lived pop rock group Max Q and recorded solo material which was released posthumously . He acted in feature films , including Dogs in Space ( 1986 ) , Frankenstein Unbound ( 1990 ) and Limp ( 1997 ) . According to rock-music historian Ian McFarlane , `` Hutchence was the archetypal rock showman . He exuded an overtly sexual , macho cool with his flowing locks , and lithe and exuberant stage movements . '' Hutchence won the ` Best International Artist ' at the 1991 BRIT Awards with INXS winning the related group award .   His private life was often reported in the Australian and international press , with a string of love affairs with prominent actresses , models and singers . Hutchence 's relationship with UK television presenter Paula Yates began while she was married to musician and Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof . Geldof and Yates divorced in 1996 .

negative: Elegantly Wasted (song) `` Elegantly Wasted '' is the first single from and title track of the album Elegantly Wasted by INXS , released in Europe , Japan , Australia and South Africa , and the US . The song is said to have been written after Hutchence and Bono from U2 went out for a `` night on the town '' .   `` Elegantly Wasted '' is a deft mix of rock infused with dance beats . The band 's new sound bridged the gap between the public 's taste for post-grunge rock anthems , and the slinky mechanical seduction of electronica .   After an argument with Liam Gallagher of Oasis , Hutchence added some additional vocals to the chorus , which the rest of the band were unaware of until months after the album 's release . When listening for it , the chorus can either be heard as `` I am elegantly wasted '' or `` I am better than Oasis '' . This was further to an altercation between Michael Hutchence and the Gallagher brothers at the 1996 BRIT awards . At the awards Noel collected an award from Hutchence by saying `` Has-beens should not be presenting awards to gonna-be 's . '' It was also reported that Liam Gallagher and Michael Hutchence had a scuffle backstage with Hutchence throwing a fire extinguisher at Liam following some disparaging remarks he made about his then lover Paula Yates .   Elegantly Wasted was the last album released by INXS with Michael Hutchence , who died that same year , on 22 November 1997 .
