world. Law firms today are lawyer-intensive, process-light operations; throughout this next decade, they'll become process-intensive, lawyer-light operations. Law schools are not the only stakeholder in this industry to be fundamentally misaligned with that future: legal publishers, CLE providers, and bar associations are likely to be the hardest-hit, because they all rely on "volume of lawyers" as the basis for their businesses. Conversely, legal technology suppliers and legal systems analysts should have a field day as they retrofit firms for leaner infrastructure and more mechanized operations. (Read my article on disruptive legal technologies if you'd like to refresh yourself as to what's coming.) Law firms wonder where the growth in the legal market has gone. But Toby Brown has answered that : growth is bypassing law firms and going instead to innovative new providers, few of which are law firms and hardly any of which employ lawyers in the usual way. Law firms are going to realize that in order to compete for this market growth, they will need to emulate the approach of these competitors, which invest heavily in systems and reserve lawyers for those tasks that truly require their intellectual heft and skilled judgment. The hard fact for lawyers to absorb is that those tasks are much fewer than our traditional law firm model supposed them to be. Many law firms believe their "expenses problem" is all about cutting costs to preserve profit in the face of declining revenue. It's not. It's a concrete sign of the growing misalignment | OP | OP OB | 775,271 |
You have to hand it to Guy Pearce : transforming yourself into a space-faring ex-special forces badass is no small feat, but Guy makes it look easy as pie. See for yourself in our exclusive clip from " Lockout ," the new space-set action thriller hitting theaters next weekend! In the film, Pearce plays Snow, a former covert operative now working on his own terms. Snow runs into a bit of trouble with government officials and faces a very bad punishment as a result. At the same time, a massive space prison just outside of Earth's orbit becomes overrun by the inmates with the President of the United States' daughter ( Maggie Grace ) trapped inside. Under normal circumstances, a few well-placed missiles would be enough to diffuse the situation. But with the president's daughter on lockdown, that's not exactly an option. So the government goes with option B: Snow, Snow, Snow. Enter Pearce's trash-talking badass, suddenly faced with two not-so-great choices: dedicate the remainder of your life to cryo-freeze imprisonment, or brave a space-prison brimming with psychotic inmates in an effort to save the girl and get the heck out of dodge with time to spare. Bet you can guess which option he picks. In our exclusive clip, you'll see that, yes, Snow does indeed connect with the president's daughter. (Not much of a spoiler, really -- that's kind of the point of the film, isn't it?) But even though Snow's in the prison specifically to rescue this young | OP | OP RV | 36,195 |
web was nothing more than a hobby. My career goal at the time was geared towards print design. However, the more I dabbled in the then emerging technology of the internet, my interest in it grew tremendously. So much so, that by the time I graduated, I was 100% positive that I wanted to focus on web site design and development. Do You Think There is a Lack of Female Web Designers? While I realize that the majority of people involved in the web design industry are male, I see a lot of great work from many talented female web designers. Just being a part of the design community on sites like Twitter shows how many great female designers there are. Perhaps being part of the community, it's sometimes difficult to see that we are in the minority. Have You Ever Experienced Any Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry? As a freelancer and business owner, I have been fortunate enough not to have experienced any negativity or sexism -- at least not that I've been aware of. In my past life as a full-time employee however, I'd be lying if I said that I felt my income was up to par with that of my male counterparts in the industry.

However, back to the topic - getting together in groups in your own country to raise the funds to buy the land would probably be the first step in making the dream a reality. This will conflict with a lot of belief systems, and I'm not even saying I believe it one hundred percent. Maybe humanity will shift into the 4th dimension or the 4th dimension will shift into us, maybe Jesus will return and rapture the believers, maybe humanity will overthrow the control system. I don't know the future and it would be nice if other people stopped pretending they did. This is my point: since the 1930s people have been told by E.T. channels that the end of the world was near. They threw their lives away, sometimes sold all of their belongings and headed for the hills only to be sorely disappointed. Many people were disappointed when nothing happened at Y2K, nothing happened during Harold Camping's prophecies, nothing happened at the end of the mayan calendar (oct 28 2011) nothing happened on 11.11.11, nothing happened during the Olympics, nothing happened during any of Ben Fulford or David Wilcock or Drake or Georgi Stankov's prophetic dates... Considering the incredible levels of deception played out here on Earth, why is it so difficult to understand that the control system wants us to continually give up our power to someone else, waiting for something out there to change.

She meets this other woman who works for this organization that funds entrepreneurs. And the other woman, whose name escapes me, says to her, you know what? You would be perfect.

As posted on SavyGamer yesterday , Bioware announced the following over twitter : Good news for anyone who preorders (or has preordered) #ME3 on Origin: You'll receive a free copy of Battlefield 3! They didn't say "anyone from North America who preorders", they said this was an offer for "anyone", not just the 8% of the population of planet earth that happen to live in North America. Then EA have been posting repeatedly on their Origin twitter feed that this offer would in fact only be for North Americans, and there is no such offer visible on the UK version of the Origin website. I contacted Origin email support to get them to clarify the situation, to see whether whether they were going to discriminate between their customers based on location with this arbitrary regional restriction. Here's the conversation we had: It kind of seems that they ignored the specifics of my questions doesn't it? It also contradicts other information EA have put out. Here on twitter , they said: When you receive your code for your bonus version, you can do whatever you please with it! Whereas in the email to me they said that this would not be possible. They repeat the claim that this offer is available for "everyone", not mentioning anything to do with regional availability. They also only mention the free copy of Battlefield 3 with the N7 Digital Deluxe Edition, which is nearly twice as expensive as the regular edition. Get it the fuck | NARRATIVE | null | 508,526 |

aquatic ecosystems of the Grose River using freshwater invertebrates, showed that more than 10km of the river was ecologically degraded by toxic water originating from the coal mine. Water chemistry suggested that toxic levels of zinc were responsible for the pollution and ecological degradation. The NSW EPA accepted the surrender of the EPL (#558) when commercial mining ceased, even though polluted water continued to emerge from the mine. It appears that this pollution discharge now occurs in a regulatory vacuum. When it was in operation, the EPL allowed the mine to release highly elevated levels of zinc, hundreds of time higher than ecosystem protection guidelines recommend. Time to make a change Reforms of water pollution licensing are needed in NSW. Licences need to include all pollutants being released from waste discharge points. Licences need to include concentration limits and monitoring requirements for all environmentally hazardous pollutants in each discharge. The NSW Government demanded this type of information from Sydney Water when it was corporatised . Providing the information turned out to be an important incentive for Sydney Water to clean up beaches, and particularly its discharge of sewage into the ocean (some may remember the 1980s fight against sewage pollution at Bondi, Malabar and North Head). The standard of treatment was improved and the quality of water for swimming has improved. This example of good pollution management has turned out to be a very isolated one. The cumulative impact of all licensed discharges needs to be considered. The EPA should | OP | OP OB | 3,289,851 |

Writing the Dissertation: Learning how to do something you didn't know how to do, Part 1 When and how do we acquire the skills, voice, critical perspectives, and confidence needed for successful writing? Specifically to write successfully a dissertation and, for that matter, the book that follows the dissertation? Years ago as a first-year college student, I tested out of composition class, but all students at my university were required to take at least one semester of writing, so I took an advanced writing class. It's possible that I may have been required to write an argument, but I don't remember any such formal assignment. Maybe I've conveniently forgotten it since it would have been a painful process for me. I came to the university understanding only vaguely what would be required in the demanding, competitive world of a good, large university. I think I was a decent writer at that time, but not very analytical. I had a lot to learn. I recall a few assignments from that class -- two had to do with describing a place. I suppose I remember those assignments because it was the kind of writing that I had always enjoyed, but I wonder if in that class I was ever assigned to do something I didn't already know how to do, something that would help me write an extended argument.

In conjunction with the Channel 5 series, this book contains 16 essays on the most evil men and women of all time. Included are: Nero; Vlad the Impaler; King John; Ivan the Terrible; Attila the Hun; Rasputin; Hitler; Pol Pot; and Idi Amin. I picked this up on deep discount but I think that it's worth full-price. It consists of 16 different essays on some of the most vile individuals to walk this earth. It is far from perfect and Mao is suspiciously absent as he is indisputably in the top five on everyone's Monster List. However, the book is quite helpful for research purposes as I made use of the chapters on Caligula and Nero just the other day.

You may argue that He is so by definition, and that one is at liberty to confer any meaning one likes to words, provided one defines them first. Granted again; but if you attribute to a word a radically different meaning from that which it usually bears, it will apply to a new object; your reasoning no longer refers to the former one; it is there- fore understood that you are speaking to us of something else. This is precisely what occurs in most cases when the philo- sopher speaks of God. So remote is this conception from the in THE NATURE OF GOD 207 God most men have in mind that if, by some miracle, and contrary to the opinion of philosophers, God as thus defined should step down into the field of experience, none would recognize Him. For religion, be it static or dynamic, regards Him, above all, as a Being who can hold communication with us: now this is just what the God of Aristotle, adopted with a few modifications by most of his successors, is incapable of doing. Without going deeply here into an examination of the Aristotelian notion of the divinity, we shall simply say that it strikes us as raising a double question: (i) Why did Aristotle posit as first principle a motionless Mover, a Thought think- ing itself, self-enclosed, operative only | IN | IN | 234,154 |
mean really educate them, not just pump up the grades each year. In maths, in science, in reading, we've fallen behind... ...not just behind Germany and Canada but Estonia and Australia too. This is Britain's real school report and the verdict is clear: must try harder. You've heard of pushy parents, sharp-elbowing their way to a better education for their kids? Well -- this is a pushy government. My approach is very simple. I've got two children in primary school, and I want for your children what I want for mine. To go to schools where discipline is strict, expectations are high and no excuses are accepted for failure. I don't want great schools to just be the preserve of those that can pay the fees, or buy the nice house in the right catchment area... ...I want those schools to be open to every child -- in every neighbourhood. And the reason I know that every child can go to a school like that is because with this Government, more and more new ones are opening. We've heard from some of them this week... ...not just the 79 new free schools -- with over a hundred more to come... ...but from some of the more than 2000 academies we've helped create -- state schools given all the freedoms, and carrying all the high expectations, of private schools.

a slightly lowered one - is anti-democratic. A 4% threshold goes against the principles of proportionality and of democracy itself. It says that votes shouldn't be counted if they are for parties outside of the mainstream. If you vote for a party that has 3% support, your vote is deemed not worthy of counting. Over at No Right Turn, Idiot Savant is no less scathing about the Commission's recommendation to reduce the party vote threshold to 4% (whilst also abolishing the electorate seat exception): At best, this is likely to work out to be roughly as representative as we are at the moment. But in some cases (e.g. 2002) it gives us a much less representative Parliament than we have at present. Given an opportunity to improve our electoral system and give us a more representative democracy, the Electoral Commission blew it. Whew! I'll bet the Commission members were squirming in their beds last night as the full magnitude of their betrayal of the very concept of democracy burst upon them! Why is it that they hate our freedoms so much? Invective aside, let's review what the Commission actually did. It essentially adopted a two-stage approach in coming up with its proposal for lowering the party vote threshold to 4%. (I'm going to put to one side it's proposal to abandon the 1 seat threshold, on the assumption that Bryce and I/S would accept this move provided the party vote threshold also was lowered significantly.)

Thanks for your patience as we answer your questions. mkjohnst: I've been reading about how scientists like you can use gravitational lensing to weigh clusters of galaxies, and that the lensing effects indicate a lot more matter than is visible, apparently evidence for dark matter. But how do you distinguish between dark matter and black holes in exercises like this? riyanatarajan: The distribution of dark matter that is inferred from gravitational lensing studies suggests that it is distributed quite smoothly throughout a galaxy - from the inner regions all the way to the outskirts or the halo. While black holes might constitute one form of dark matter, they cannot account for all the dark matter in the Universe (90% of all the matter in the Universe is dark) or even what is inferred in individual galaxies. Mr.Nice: how big is a black hole itself?and how big is the event horizon...generaly speaking Ezequiel: It depends on the mass of the black hole. For example, for the mass of the sun, the event horizon is 3 kilometers. And then, the size of the event horizon is proportional to the mass of the black hole.

October 9, 2012 Broccoli Grape Harvest Salad So I made a variation of this salad almost 2 years ago, but this is by FAR soo much better! I found this recipe in an older issue of Southern Living over the weekend and made it for our tailgate on Sunday. Ohh my gawd was it delicious, but I did make a few tweaks though to the original recipe. Instead of using an entire cup of mayo I chose to use only a half cup of mayo and substitute the rest with a half cup of non-fat plain yogurt. Best. Decision. Ever. Throw together some fresh broccoli, red grapes, turkey bacon and chopped pecans and you've got the perfect pasta salad for any occasion! This was specifically perfect for tailgating since it tastes best after being chilled not to mention its incredibly filling and has something for everyone! Veggies...check. Fruit...check.

Ninja Here's a productivity and an evil tip: clean out your inbox. Seriously, we talk about Inbox Zero all the time, but there's more to be gained from it then a self-satisfied sense of accomplishment. A clean inbox gives you a leg up on what's probably one of the best ways to look busy: being super-responsive. When you have the ability to glance at your inbox, see a new message come in, and instantly fire off a reply before the sender can even lift their finger off the send button, you really look like you're on top of your game. Granted, there are two schools of thoughts on this: the first is that it makes you look less busy because you have time to reply to email, but if done well, it makes you look like you're always working , even at off hours and even if your replies are "I'll get back to you on this as soon as I can." Again, pick your battles -- you don't want to sit there and get into heavy details in your responses unless it's appropriate. With that said, the majority of the questions you probably get via email are things that someone could figure out if they looked hard enough, read an email or document you've already sent them, or paid attention the last time you told them. Fire off a super-fast reply with what they need to know in it, and they'll be in your debt and you'll look like | HI | HI HT | 547,661 |

[ 6 ] In their book The Simpsons and philosophy: the d'oh! of Homer , William Irwin, Mark T. Conard and Aeon J. Skoble wrote that "They Saved Lisa's Brain" in detail explores "the possibility of a utopian alternative to politics as usual in Springfield." They described "They Saved Lisa's Brain" as an "epitome" of The Simpsons diverse comedic humor, and wrote that it can be "enjoyed in two levels," as both "broad farce" and "intellectual satire." As an example of the episode's farcical humor, they referred to the episode's subplot, which, they wrote, "contains some of the grossest humor in the long history of The Simpsons ." At the same time, the episode is "filled" with what they described as "subtle cultural allusions," such as the design of Mensa group's locale, which is based on American architect Frank Lloyd Wright 's house. Likewise, Lisa's challenge to Springfield calls attention to the "cultural limitations of small-town America," while the episode also argues that intellectual disdain for the common man can be carried too far and that theory can "all to easily lose touch with common sense." They also argued that the episode, as well as the series as a whole, offers a kind of intellectual defense of the common man against intellectuals, which they opined "helps explain its popularity and broad appeal | IN | IN EN | 9,997,668 |

but praise for the Alberta's education system, that strives to provide a quality education, with a more or less firmer foundation in the 3 Rs.compared to other provinces. And Doug, there is no definition for poverty rate, and therefore all the figures that are being quoted, the poverty and low-income are being defined differently from one government agency to the next, and the organizations that have an interest in poverty and low-income. However using the American definition, the poverty and low-income percentages, are just below the good old United States. More than likely, the poverty rate stands in and around 30 % and low-income at around the 44 % depending on the region. What Alberta has is good poverty strategies centered around affording housing, compared to Ontario that has no effective poverty strategies. Just because a province has a large number of good paying jobs, does not mean large numbers of people climbing from low-income to higher incomes. Now consider the price of shelter, food and the other basic living expenses, that are eroding people's ability to provide the nice to have extras, the actual low-income cut-off increases, for all of the provinces, putting people in the same position as they were before. Of course, you don't have to worry about that do you Doug?

meat anymore, which also helps with the health quotient. one of the easiest ways to help with making tacos a bit lighter, is to make your own taco seasoning. it helps you avoid eating things like food acid + anti-caking agent . it also lightens the load a bit, as the first ingredient in store bought taco seasoning is almost always sugar, followed closely by salt. making taco seasoning at home is so simple, and all of the spices required are pretty commonly found in most people's pantries. the toppings are really where it's at with tacos. if you are one of those people that just eat meat + cheese in their tacos, then we need to have a little conversation...the above photo shows a pretty typical taco night in our casa, however the chef would be aghast to recall that green onions were missing from the mix?! on this special occasion we had some leftover ground beef from a dinner party the night before, but more typical for us would be refried beans, or chickpeas sauted in the above mentioned taco seasoning. i would say that we never have tacos the same way twice, which is pretty amazing since we have tacos probably 3 times a month. the un-taco shell (aka lettuce cups) is a fresh take on tacos. instead of having the lettuce as a topping you use it as a shell. it's handy if you are really hosting a hankering for tacos, but don't have any tortillas | HI | HI RE | 3,382,016 |

to have been a new class of shipboard work songs (i.e. chanties) had necessarily been adopted (not developed, as per my hypothesis) -- not at least from the evidence of Dana -- in a major way, if at all. Whereas my hypothesis is that a new paradigm for work-singing -- roughly corresponding to halyard songs, or "chanties," as they came to be known -- was borrowed from African-American practices, I don't feel confident, from these 1830s references, that that borrowing had yet occurred on a large scale. That is, the Afr-American forms existed (rowing, cotton stowing, and fireman's songs), but had yet to be widely incorporated on large sailing vessels. However, I forgot to acknowledge the two songs mentions which there is some good reason to believe had African-American roots. One is "Round the Corner, Sally," which, as will be seen in later decades, was used by Black Americans for rowing and corn-shucking. There is no proof of where it originated, but, as I said, some good reason to associate it with that culture. The other song is "Grog Time a Day." Thanks to John M.'s critical inquiries and Lighter's scholarship, we know that Dana's original manuscript was supposed to have included "Grog Time of Day" (and not just "Round the Corner," but "Round the Corner, Sally). We have already fairly established "Grog Time" as a song popular through the Caribbean and performed by Blacks.

We wish you a mobile Christmas With the Christmas shopping season about to get underway, UK retail association IMRG is forecasting a 920 million spend by consumers using mobile devices in the first two weeks of December alone. Online retailers are preparing for strong spending as the Christmas shopping peak approaches, with consumers forecast to spend 4.6bn online over the two weeks commencing 3rd & 10th December according to IMRG and Capgemini. Just under a billion of that figure is expected to go through mobile devices, 15% up on the same period last year. IMRG says that mobile retail sales have accelerated over the course of the year, as consumers become more comfortable using their smartphones for Web browsing and shopping. In the first quarter of 2012, 8.2% of total e-retail sales were made through a mobile device. "By the end of the fourth quarter we anticipate that figure will have reached around 20%," states the retailer group. The two peak weeks of online shopping activity are expected to account for 26-27% of total e-retail sales during the final nine weeks of the year, making up 4.6bn of the total 17.4bn forecast for the period). Tina Spooner, chief information officer at IMRG, comments: "While it is still common for consumers to browse the shops at weekends before making the final purchase online at Monday lunchtime, we are increasingly seeing the popularity of 'second-screening', where people browse on their mobile devices in front of the TV.

one post that should be read by all. I also have an android phone and I will be moving to BB10 when it arrives. The PlayBook is one tablet that becomes addictive. Welcome aboard and you life will change in a wondrous way. Thank you everyone for your kind words! I really hope this post helps people who are on the fence about buying one. There is always going to be new technology, always something that you may think could be better, but to me, as long as it accomplishes what I need and want to do, no need to look any further. It is a great tablet and as good or better than anything else out there! Hi! After being a newbie to all things Blackberry, the Playbook is the first Blackberry I have ever owned (my cell is an Android) and I have had it for a couple of weeks and wanted to share my impressions. Was this from curiosity or was there something specific Blackberry had that you needed? I have had a lot of time to use my Android phone. Yes, the platform is different, there are tons of apps but truthfully like most devices/OS systems, I get bored and do not even download anymore apps to my phone. Now I use use it to text, read email, occasionally look something up on the internet and make calls. I customized my screens, I read 4 books on my phone (not with Kindle), watch You Tube Videos | ID | ID DF | 136,717 |

single-parent families? What about people raised by their grandparents? Step-families? Inter-racial families? Why not just accept that a "family" isn't mum, dad and 2.4 children living in some kind of heterosexual, suburban utopia and accept that some people and their fmilies are different? Not better. Not worse. Just different. MJLC : 16 May 2012 1:25:54pm I see not reading posts properly before commenting is de rigueur here - and you're just the latest Carl, so let me just draw to your attention that my use of the term "evidence" in the initial post pertained to what extent the opinions expressed by the authors replicated the total sample. @Lee C made a very good point about the unsuitability of many heterosexual families as places for children to be raised in - something I agreed with from personal experience (and so, if the mood took me, I could mount a credible case for re-examining the merits of heterosexual family units based on my own upbringing alone), yet reply after reply contains total assuredness, an absence of divergent opinion, and a desire to talk over anyone who assumes it may exist. The best way to gain an understanding of an issue is to give people a chance to express a contrary opinion, not tell someone that contrary opinion may be found on page whatever of a survey. An interesting exercise for you would be to gather up the opinions expressed here by people from same-sex families and see whether they replicate the spread | IN | IN DT | 72,512 |

adoption). No, writing from Birmingham, with its large muslim population, I'm with the Swiss 29% on this one. 'Return of the Muslim Other'? I would suggest that Muslims never stopped being 'the Other.' The rise of the Right in Europe is certainly ominous. I have stated the reasons why in previous posts but will briefly reiterate them. First as Muslims living in Europe we have done a poor job in representing Islam. We have failed to live up to the Prophetic way. Many Muslims do not wish to integrate(there are socio-political reasons for this & I am not trying to simplify the issue), many are covetous of Islam & seem to have this 'chosen people' mentality; saying 'La illah ha illah' does not make you better than anyone as even the Hypocrite(Munafiq) says that & he is lower than the Kafir(I use the word Kafir within the paradigm set out by Imam Ghazali which is a person who knows the truth & rejects it-this means that not all non Muslims today can be termed with this word as so many Muslims like to, for example people who misunderstand Islam to be a religion of terror are not rejecting Islam but infect rejecting a false perception of Islam & so are not kafir as the term suggests .Also people who have never heard of Islam can no be termed this way as they do not know-I have met numerous people in Shanghai who have never heard of Islam, they can not | IP | IP | 3,091,413 |
team for that matter. So if a Toronto poster gives a good backed up argument for why he thinks another team isn't very good, pointing out that Toronto isn't good doesn't automatically mean your team is. It's completely irrelevant. Why would Florida not make the playoffs next season? They will be a better team than last year. Well lets see. - They lost Garrison. He was solidly their #2 D. Played lots of SH minutes, PP minutes, and ES minutes against top opposition - Campbell/Weiss/Versteeg/Fleishmann all either had career years or essentially matched previous career years - Theodore played significantly better than he has over the majority of the last 5-7 years - Their division was terrible. Washington is looking better with Ribeiro as their 2nd line C, potentially improved goaltending via Holtby, and assumed rebound years back to their averages (or better) from Ovechkin/Backstrom/Green.

befriend the couple and their beloved castle. For everyone who has ever wanted to live in a glorious house or escape from the mundanity of life - Castles in the Air is pure magic. Castles in the Air is a beautifully written, autobiographical story of rescuing an ancient mansion. Gwydir Castle was inhabited by ravers and rats until Judy Corbett and her husband Peter Welford found and acquired this 500-year-old house mouldering in the foothills of Snowdonia. Despite the toads, strange smells and squatters, they decided to mortgage themselves to the hilt to bring the castle back to life. This is an evocatively written and genuinely moving book and is infused with an extraordinary sense of place. The couple's adventures in a gothic wonderland lead them through plots both supernatural and historical. In a museum storeroom in a Bronx warehouse they find a missing room, in the castle's Solar Tower the ghost of a young woman appears and from the far edges of the woods a silent man called Sven emerges to befriend the couple and their beloved castle. For everyone who has ever wanted to live in a glorious house or escape from the mundanity of life - Castles in the Air is pure magic. {"itemData":[{"priceBreaksMAP":null,"buy\\... to Basket","Add both to Basket","Add all three to Cart"],"showDetailsDefault":"Show availability and delivery details","shippingError":"An error occurred, please try again","hideDetailsDefault":"Hide availability and delivery details","priceLabel":["Price:","Price For Both:","Price For All Three:"],"preorder":["Pre-order this item","Pre-order both items","Pre-order all three items"]}} In northern Wales, 11 miles south of Conwy and | IP | IP DS | 385,137 |

approach has been a lot more mature. Couldn't agree more with Dave. Froome really impressed me at the Vuelta last year but now strikes me as nothing more than a sulky schoolchild throwing his toys out of the pram while his irritating girlfriend tweets from the side. The constant gesturing to Brad at the end of yesterdays stage was disrespectful and annoying. He's clearly strong in the mountains but has benefited just as much from the selfless work of the rest of Team Sky. He's chosen to accept a large amount of money to work to work as a teammate and should get on and do this and await his turn when the parcours suits him I think people forget that a Tour is not only won in the mountains. Froome is a better grimpeur in the truest sense but is he better at TTing or does he have the road craft to ensure he is on the right side of splits, stays out of trouble etc? There a bit more to things that sitting behind a team-mate until half way up the last climb of the day. Has Froome got the engine to stay away from Wiggins to get a 2-3 minute lead over the mountain top finishes? Possibly, but Wiggins rarely loses a great deal of time to the likes of Contador and Schleck when on his game. I'm sure those people shouting for Froome would be doing the same for Wiggins if the roles were reversed. From | OP | OP OB | 511,149 |
my first issue. i'm not so sure the current administration's agenda is based on a desire to "experiment" on the public. most of the policies i'm reading about have been tested on small scale, state-run pilot (paid for with tax dollars) or have been demonstrated in other countries with similar economic structures. if these are deemed experiments, i think reason may be on the fringe. . . The experiment is not "whether wind power will produce electricity". The experiment in question is whether it is economically benefitial to the nation as a whole to redirect resources into these projects. On that score, recent evidence from Europe suggests not. See Portugal and Spain as well as Germany and Norway. In all cases, efforts to increase the consumption of "green energy" have cost more jobs in terms of harm ot economic productivity than they have created. Progressive always only consider the jobs of the people directly employed by any government program. They never consider the jobs lost through higher consumer prices, and higher taxation on the economy as a whole. Your head is up your ass. Clean energy is a necessity. Government can easily make it more profitable than environment-destroying energy by moving the subsidies around. In the long run, the expense is much less by any measure (assuming you believe in science). Actually, from an economic perspective, and you can easily calculate this cost, it's still probably easier and cheaper in the long run just to move your city or adapt | IP | IP | 3,202,469 |

Universities benefit from Olympic feelgood factor A sports science expert from Middlesex University works with a fencer from Team GB. Photograph: Middlesex University Just as Team GB benefited from the resources boasted by universities across the country, students and their institutions are now benefiting from "the Olympic effect". Middlesex University hosted several athletes this summer who took advantage of their brand-new human movement lab to assess their strength, speed, power, flexibility and mobility -- and set benchmarks from which to improve in the four-year run-up to Rio, where the next Games will be held in 2016. Anthony Turner, senior lecturer in sports and exercise science at Middlesex University, explains: "Athletes want to go that extra inch. They want as much support as possible -- it's that core concept of marginal gains, so they see it as an opportunity to edge forward that little bit more. The Olympics have shown them, 'Right, we need to take every little advantage available'. They have identified what those advantages are, and gone searching for them." Athletes from Team GB are continuing to enjoy all the benefits of Middlesex's facilities -- as are the university's students, who have access to all the same equipment. Not only is this great for students who are elite athletes as well, Turner also sees this as a plus-point when it comes to employability. He says: "When they go into the workplace, they've already had access to state-of-the-art equipment, so their transition into their job role is that much smoother." | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 493,732 |
Nixon's advisors urged him to litigate to the bitter end. Famously, Nixon conceded the election, writing in 1962 that to contest the election would "diminish the prestige of America" with accusations that the election could be stolen by ballot thievery. And so began a short-lived Camelot. To be clear, Infowars is a suspect source. The site is run by a right-wing conspiracy theorist, and has a history of trending towards the outlandish. Yet, let us assume that the attributed quotes compiled are legitimate. Further, let us assume that at least some portion of those people quoted do intend violent reactions to a Romney victory. Given that rioting and looting have become commonplace in the wake of sports defeats, it seem altogether plausible -- if not probable -- that there will be some violence (likely racially charged) should the first black President lose a close race. All involved should plan for the worst-case scenario. The evening of November 6, 2012, around 11:00 pm Eastern, could be the defining moment of the Obama Presidency. A hesitant reaction (or worse) could propel violence. A swift and firm rejection of violence, which would necessitate a quick and clear concession, may ensure peace and civility. It could be argued that Obama, because his term is both historic and because its termination could be racially-tinged, has a special obligation to decisively urge supporters to accept the election outcome. The potential for civil conflict certainly seems heightened. Obama holds no extraordinary obligation. Every President has a solemn | OP | OP OB | 3,282,150 |
witch hunt in the media over people who avoid taxes is ridiculous. I also agree that a more streamlined state could be advantageous for the majority of Brits. I do have an issue with this articles defence of the super rich though: "What, then, of the fabulously rich? They have plenty of money, surely no-one with any sense would say that they actually need all of it? Well, that's not really the point, is it? The point is that it is theirs and the rest of us have no claim to it. They may have made that money very easily, they might have inherited it. Hell, they may have made it at cards for all I care!" What if they made it dealing in rare earth metals in the Congo, helping fund a brutal civil war in the ongoing scramble for Africa? A lot of capitalism is conducted in an environmentally and ethically unsound manner. Environmental damage often creates a feedback making life yet harder for capitalism's victims, for example the people of the Nigerian delta which has been destroyed by oil spills during the extraction process. This makes the wealth distribution question global. A classic statistic is that 2% of the worlds population own over half of it's wealth (in 2006 according to the World Institute for Development Economics Research). This global imbalance is what helps maintain the British consumer lifestyle. Most Brits probably come within the top 10 percent of the worldly wealthy salary wise.

In short, Janna Thompson has written a truly indispensable book that cannot be ignored by anyone interested in the broad theme of justice in human affairs." Richard Falk, Visiting Distinguished Professor, University of California at Santa Barbara "In this challenging and compelling book, Janna Thompson seeks to tread a careful path between the conflicting claims for reparation and to defend a theory of restorative justice.

sort of smooth transition into the next paragraph. Conclusion Your conclusion brings home the main point of your essay. In a sense, you just need to remind your reader of how you proved your thesis. Do not simply re-state your introduction as conclusions need to show some higher level of understanding and insight after you've discussed topic. R: Revise Now that your essay is finally constructed, it's time for you to check it over to make sure it makes a good impression. Spell check is not fool proof (it won't fix an error like mixing up its or it's), so have a dictionary and thesaurus handy. Content During this part of the revision, make sure your topic and thesis are clearly presented, proved and supported. Style During this check, you should make sure your essay is interesting to readers. It is also important to remember that using big words and complicated sentences does not make your essay sound sophisticated. In fact, the meaning of your sentences may be lost if you use fancy language. Wait a little while to check your paper again; you might notice something that you did not catch before. It may also be worthwhile to have your essay checked over by a peer or a parent; a revision by a third party will give you a good idea if your work makes sense to others. | HI | HI HT | 642,306 |
able to appeal to as well as secure the confidence of the independent thinkers; George Harrison's 1965 "Think For Yourself" is a nod to this very philosophy. As for a personal philosophy, that is a topic open for speculation. Each Beatle was unique and distinct and very much an individual. This book takes a deeper look at each Beatle and by describing his behavior and responses, attempts to carve out what appeared to be the philosophy of each Beatle. All in all, an excellent work. This is one the Beatle Literati highly recommend. | IP | IP DS | 449,167 |
and the one I return to even in my older years! Firstly, the whole thing just flows... from its classic acoustic guitar start through all the guitar and keyboard-orientated sections (some amazingly powerful) and then takes you back home right at the end. Great recurring themes and tunes (very melodic at times), a variety of time signatures, and an engaging lyrical theme - make this not only a Prog Rock concept album masterpiece, but a Classic Rock one too! Do I follow all the lyrics? - well, not really. But I can see it's about a boy's journey towards adulthood (autobiographical by Ian Anderson?) into the world where freedom is despised and conventionality is praised. In fact, I always think Ian did a better job with this album than Roger Waters did with parts of 'The Wall' in expressing this anti-establishment sentiment. What the album really benefits from are some really great tunes that stay in your head and have you humming the notes for hours after listening to them (something lacking in the likes of 'A Passion Play' and some later albums). However, I agree with an earlier reviewer that despite this melodic accessibility for a concept album, the album needs to be focussed on (rather than played in the background) to get the most out of it. On the new CD version itself and in recent interviews, Ian likes to treat it as a humourous attempt to make the ultimate 'tongue-in-cheek' prog rock concept album.

believe that the fiscal tightening generates a change in regime that "eliminates the need for larger, maybe much more disruptive adjustments in the future" ... Current increases in taxes and/or spending cuts perceived as permanent, by removing the danger of sharper and more costly fiscal adjustments in the future, generate a positive wealth effect. An additional channel through which current fiscal policy can influence the economy via its effect on agents' expectations is the interest rate. If agents believe that the stabilization is credible and avoids a default on government debt, they can ask for a lower premium on government bonds. Private demand components sensitive to the real interest rate can increase if the reduction in the interest rate paid on government bonds leads to a reduction in the real interest rate charged to consumers and firms ... The decrease in interest rate can also lead to the appreciation of stocks and bonds, increasing agents' financial wealth, and triggering a consumption/investment boom. On the supply side, expansionary effects of fiscal adjustments work via the labor market and via the effect that tax increases and/or spending cuts have on the individual labor supply in a neoclassical model, and on the unions' fall-back position in imperfectly competitive labor markets. First, households are alleged to have an advanced understanding of the way the economy works and the future fiscal policy settings. All the evidence from behavioural economics tells us they do not have that understanding nor behave in the "rational" way that is | OP | OP OB | 178,693 |
to radically reduce consumption, use nuclear power and buy additional renewable power from other, less densely populated, countries. The power per area of nuclear power facilities, by the way, is about 1,000 watts per square meter -- much higher than that of renewables. When it comes to the land area required, nuclear power stations and uranium mines are relatively small and unobtrusive. If the world is to move to a sustainable energy future, one that also limits the risk of global warming, each country will need to work out its own post-fossil-fuel energy plan. And the numbers will have to add up. Any such plan should anticipate the lifestyle aspired to and the energy consumption required. Today, the average European consumes 120 kilowatt-hours per day. That's more than double the world average, but lifestyle changes and determined switches to more efficient technologies for transport and heating might enable a modern European quality of life to be enjoyed for an energy cost close to the current world average, perhaps 60 kilowatt-hours per day a person. What sort of building project is required to deliver that much energy? For illustration, imagine getting one-third of that energy from wind, one-third from desert solar power and one-third from nuclear power. To obtain 20 kilowatt-hours per day from wind, one person would require roughly 330 square meters of wind farm -- or, to put it another way, would need to share a big 2-megawatt turbine with 600 friends.

Sauer was a surprise entrant. The founder of Orion Investment Co., Sauer says he has put about $350,000 into his campaign, enough to post billboards and run cable TV and radio ads. Sauer says he was motivated to run after the Republican-led Legislature passed a new tax incentive for science and technology firms an initiative he sued to block. A fourth candidate in the race, John Weiler of Pevely, has not reported raising or spending any money. Despite their efforts, the Republican gubernatorial candidates still have some persuading to do. Roberta Pulliam acknowledges that she knows "very little" about them even though she's on the Adair County Republican committee. "Usually by this time, I've probably made up my mind for the primary, but it's kind of hard this year," said Pulliam, 75, a farmer in northern Missouri. Spence, 54, of Ladue, believes he is the front-runner and has focused his campaign squarely on Nixon, ignoring Randles' jabs. Spence graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a home economics degree, and not long after, he bought small plastic bottle manufacturer Alpha Packaging. He touts its transformation over a couple decades from 15 employees and annual sales of $350,000 to a firm with 800 employees and nearly $200 million in annual sales.

We would love to help out with every single event across the world, but as we are a small team of volunteers we simply don't have the resources. So we will support you with all our hearts, but practically all we are able to do is supply you with the plays. It's up to you from there on in. Can I charge for tickets to my event? Ideally all Theatre Uncut performances would be free of charge, so that everyone has access to them, but we understand that this is not always possible. We had no choice but to charge for tickets for our previews at the Traverse and will also have to charge for the flagship performances at the Young Vic. We spend a lot of time working out how we can keep these ticket prices as low as possible though, so we ask that you do the same. Do I have to include all of the plays in my event? No. You are the curator, you can do just one, or the whole lot. You could focus on austerity, just look at the British plays, or programme an event of the international writers. It's up to you.

'A great debut. You'll be itching to read more.' Anthony Horowitz Meet Itch - an accidental, accident-prone hero. Science is his weapon. Elements are his gadgets. All-action adventure perfect for fans of Alex Rider and Young Bond. Itchingham Lofte - known as Itch - is fourteen, and loves science, especially chemistry. He's also an element-hunter: he's collecting all the elements in the periodic table. Which has some interesting and rather destructive results in his bedroom. Then, Itch makes a discovery. A new element, never seen before. At first no one believes him - but soon someone hears about the strange new rock and wants it for himself. And Itch and his family are catapulted into a breathless adventure with terrifyingly high stakes . . . The debut novel from BBC radio presenter Simon Mayo. Not only has Itch flown to number one in its category on the AmazonUK list, but it has been nominated for the prestigious Carnegie Medal , which counts CS Lewis and Philip Pullman as previous winners.

Morsi: 'National unity the only way out of difficult times' The new Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has called for national unity in the country stating that it "is the only way out of these difficult times." In recent reports from The Australian and Egypt Independent the new Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi in his first television speech to the nation as president has promised to be a leader of all Egyptians, from Muslims to Christians, children to the elderly and those who work in private and public sectors. He took time to acknowledge the sacrifices made by the 900 Egyptian 'martyrs' that were killed during the revolution that saw the capitulation of Hosni Mubarak. He added that "the revolution continues, until all its demands are met." The presidential election in Egypt has deeply divided the country. Many Egyptians saw Morsi's opponent -- Ahmed Shafiq a former Prime Minister in the Mubarak regime -- as little more than a relic from that era who doesn't represent the kind of change they want after 29 years of the Mubarak dictatorship. They also see him as a stooge of the military establishment which has seized legislative power for itself. A lot of those who voted for Shafiq on the other hand did so out of fear of the Muslim Brotherhood, who they fear will impose religious law on Egyptian society and turn the country into some kind of Islamic state. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 324,267 |
things which the apostle himself, when out of the rapture, might have but very inadequate ideas of, and such as he was not able to put into proper words and language to be understood by others; and which as he heard them not from a mere man, but from the Lord, so no mere man was able to utter them, none but he of whom he had heard them: and besides, whatever conceptions the apostle might have of them himself, and how capable soever he was of expressing them; yet they were not fit and proper to be told in the present state of things, being no part of the counsel of God relating to man's salvation, the whole of which he faithfully declares; and yet were necessary to be heard by him, in order to establish his faith in the Gospel, to animate him in his ministry, and fortify his mind against all the afflictions, reproaches, and persecutions, he was to meet with for the sake of Christ.

an external boot cd or program? Thanks. I think everyone is missing the point here. When Microsoft created windows 7 they fixed some problems and PURPOSELY created new problems such as UAC. This of course works to benefit Microsoft rather than the average computer user. In just a few years or less, Microsoft will once again make billions of dollars (at least) by providing us with a new operating system to replace windows 7. Naturally it will fix all UAC problems and perhaps a few other problems as well. In return you will all find numerous other HIDDEN problems created by Microsoft on purpose. Unfortunately it's all about the money for Microsoft. I wouldn't be surprised if every windows 7 computer contains a top secret code that breaks your computer (on purpose of course) in a couple of years. Wake up everyone!!!

Taming The Monster-In-Law Monday, February 23, 2009 Pallavi Bhattacharya Indian mothers are renowned for the loving kindness. In fact, the mother figure is deified and worshipped as Ma Durga. So why does the same mother often act hostile to her daughter-in-law? Psychologist, Chrisann Almeida, in an interview with Pallavi Bhattacharya, explores the aspects that may give rise to an unhealthy saas-bahu relationship. There's no fixed formula for an ideal saas-bahu relationship. But there are things that the daughter-in-law, father-in-law and husband can do to turn even a difficult mother-in-law into an amicable one. After all, mothers-in-law are not necessarily monsters-in-law. It is often said that of all your in-laws the mother-in-law is the most difficult to win over/please. Why is this so? In most cases, the mother is always the primary caretaker of a son since he was a child, so it's the mother in the family who has the deepest emotional investment in her son. Hence it is the mother-in-law who is most likely to be mistrustful of her daughter-in-law as she is a new member she is entrusting the life of their son to. What are the most common problems one faces with the mother-in-law? Because of the level of emotional investment, a common problem is a sense of competition for attention and affection of the son. The other is power - control of decisions - since the mother once again was the main decision maker in the person's life before a spouse was added to the equation, | SP | SP IT | 1,758,466 |

It's a meaningful two-way street In my opinion the good guest blogger will write between 500 and 1000 words on a subject relevant to the host website. The article will be helpful, share expert knowledge and be fun or at least easy to read. It must have meaning. The guest blogger may include external links which support the article and will add instructions for "nofollow" to these links because we don't want to pass too much PageRank from the host website unless it is strategically necessary and has the host website owners consent. If the blogger writes frequently on the host website, the blogger will link sensibly to relevant pages of his or her own website, providing of course that they are relevant to the story. Once the blogger has linked once via previous articles to each relevant page, then the blogger will "nofollow" all links from the article. The good guest blogger will never place paid links in any article on host websites. The good guest blogger will hopefully understand SEO and will write search engine friendly copy being careful not to "stuff" too many keywords into the article. The blogger will also place carefully selected heading tags | HI | HI HT | 3,057,157 |
How Will PGA Tour Canada Be Accepted By Fans/Sponsors? I realize I'm a little old school with my fondness for things of the past. As you may recall, I got a little nostalgic here about PGA Tour qualifying school changing in 2013, even if the old system of being able to acquire tour cards is still in place this year. Starting next year, only WebDotCom Tour cards will be available. As former PGA Tour player Ian Leggatt said last week, Q-school was always a train wreck waiting to happen and he's correct. A player could have been either heartbroken or exhilarated, as Graham DeLaet was when he made a direct leap from the Canadian Tour to the PGA Tour in 2009 through Q-school. It sure wasn't easy on the players, but the drama of Q-school was often riveting for observers. Q-school isn't the only thing changing for developing golfers, with news last week that the PGA Tour has acquired the Canadian Tour and will now run it as PGA Tour Canada. You can read more here and here . It may just be fear of the unknown talking, but I wonder if the tour will be the same place with the PGA Tour is operating it.

our brother. A Sosthenes, who was then the chief ruler of the synagogue at Corinth, is named in Ac 18:17. The Sosthenes whom Paul associated with himself in the letter must have been well known to, and influential among, the Corinthians, and was probably the former chief ruler, who had been converted. Apollos, Priscilla and Aquila, all well known to the church, were at Ephesus with Paul (1Co 16:12,19), but Sosthenes is chosen to appear with him in the salutation. 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle - There is great propriety in every clause of the salutation, particularly in this, as there were some in the church of Corinth who called the authority of his mission in question. Through the will of God - Called the commandment of God, 1Tim 1:1 This was to the churches the ground of his authority; to Paul himself, of an humble and ready mind. By the mention of God, the authority of man is excluded, Gal 1:1; by the mention of the will of God, the merit of Paul, 1Cor 15:8, and c. And Sosthenes - A Corinthian, St. Paul's companion in travel. It was both humility and prudence in the apostle, thus to join his name with his own, in an epistle wherein he was to reprove so many irregularities.

one of the impediments to appropriate mental health care is anxiety for those of us who have anxiety as part of our make up. This keeps many people from finding any help at all -- regardless of quality. Finding reliable ways to reduce anxiety will allow more people to access quality providers. My belief is that many of the scientifically-proven tools to turn down the volume on anger, anxiety and depression can be effectively taught via online free anger management courses, web-based anxiety disorder treatment classes, and concrete skills on mitigating depression via the Internet. I'm currently offering free online anger management classes to men, simply to get the word out there that it's a manageable challenge. My experience has been that tens of thousands of men are actively using this approach to turn down the volume on negative, destructive emotions and create happier, more successful lives. This has a ripple effect in that it helps the men individually, and everyone with whom they come into contact -- spouses, children, coworkers and others. We must make use of all the resources available to us to ensure high quality care for all. This is one such avenue. Many good points are raised here.

generally seems to reserve these moments for women. Witness this morning's "cheap slapper" comment. Unless Paul Henry paraphrased himself at another point in his programme, what he actually said was that Susan Boyle was"retarded", not that she was "a retard". There is a significant difference; the first usage derives from an attempt to express disability in terms of a flawed developmental model, the second is a stigmatisation. If people are dealing with which words are offensive, they should be precise, or else they fall into the same trap as those who banned the word "niggardly". I am not, however, prepared to cut Henry any slack over his remarks. He did follow up by claiming that one can tell that she's retarded just by looking at her, look at her closely, etc. This is direct stigmatisation. The larger question is why any of this is on television in the first place. Why are we expected to spend breakfast looking at presenters? Why not scientists or educators? Or a soap opera?

JF for pointedly refusing to do that, even though he is clearly a fan. But I don't agree with the idea that The Libertines are the greatest rock'n'roll story of this generation precisely because of that musical output - I don't think that the music they've created justifies the interest in their back story. If you look at some of the greatest stories in rock'n'roll (Elvis, The Stones, Led Zep, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Oasis), the reason the stories matter is because of the influential/revolutionary music that those acts produced as a result (I'm not necessarily a fan of all those acts but only a fool could deny how influential The Sex Pistols or Oasis have been). I don't think The Libertines have achieved that musically. The fame and exploits of those acts goes way beyond being featured in whichever music magazine is covering them that week. They're big news. Whereas The Libertines aren't, unless you count Pete Doherty in some kind of drug-related court case. The difference is that, as much as has been written about those acts' misbehaviour and exploits, more has been written about their music. That can't be the case with The Libertines. If it was just about what bands get up to, how they fall out, how they take drugs, get back together etc, then The Others would be headlines news. But they didn't have the music to back it up. Neither do The Libertines. Katie [Visitor] // July 29 2010 at 13:19 Genius | OP | OP OB | 3,109,455 |
