ECGI - Law Working Paper
U of Texas Law, Law and Econ Research Paper No. 113
This Article contains chapters 8-9, 11-13, and the Conclusion of a World Bank-sponsored Report, prepared in December 2006, to the Russian Federal Service on the Securities Market. We discuss the liability under company law of directors, senior company officials, and controlling shareholders of public companies in Canada, France, Germany, Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (with a more limited look at Austria, the European Union, Italy, Japan, and Latvia), and recommend amendments to Russian Company Law. We propose measures to define the concepts of good faith and conflict of interest; establish duties of disclosure and confidentiality, extend duties under company law to controlling shareholders and de facto directors for conflict of interest transactions; and protect directors against liability for business decisions adopted without a conflict of interest.
A related article includes chapters 1 and 3 of the Report, and an introduction to the overall project by Prof. Black. These chapters address the substantive bases for liability of directors and company officials for breach of duty. See Legal Liability of Directors and Company Officials Part 1: Substantive Grounds for Liability (Report to the Russian Securities Agency), 2007 Columbia Business Law Review, pages 614-799, available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=1010306.
The full Report is available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=1001990 (English version) and http://ssrn.com/abstract=1001991 (Russian version). It also addresses duties of directors for a company in financial distress, duties of a managing organization, the role of labor law in governing the relationship between a company and its directors and officials, whether this relationship is contractual or legal in nature, and differences between public and nonpublic companies.

Oryza, Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Olea Europea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Aprocot) Kernel Oil, Orbgnya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil, Buxus Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinals (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil.

Healed My Damaged Hair!My hair is blonde so I use chemicals on it which makes it even more damaged. This product really improved the overall softness and shine of my hair! Plus, it has a an application dropper for the oil which makes it easy to get to apply evenly on your scalp. It would be really handy for short hair, the only thing is i have long hair so i had to just pour some in my hands and run it through all the way to the tips of my hair. Then i used a wide tooth comb to even it out and left it in for 2 hours. Also, putting the blow dryer on it for about a minute really helped with the results. With long hair you can probably get about 5 treatments out of the bottle when applied liberally. Overall, a great product!

My New Favorite Product.NOTE: I work at Folica (Content Manager and HairJunky blogger).
I started using this simply for the scent. Then, I realized how it actually seemed to be healing my hair rather than just oiling up split ends. Smells like ylang ylang. (I write definitively and then read the ingredients to find everything but.) Okay, so it smells like fabulous, woodsy oil, rosemary and lavender. Itâ??s mellow and herbal. Today was the first time Iâ??ve actually read the instructions (hehe) and turns out, itâ??s intended to be used slightly differently than I do. Barex recommends applying to dirty hair, heating with a dryer and leaving on for 20 minutes to 2 hours before shampooing out. I of course have been applying to dirty hair (concentrating on ends) and leaving on â?¦ indefinitely.
Barex says: Adds shine, silkiness and nourishment to even the most damaged hair. 100% natural oils â?? no color, no parfums.
I say: My hair feels repaired, is subtly shiny (not greasy), I love that itâ??s all natural (kind of want to cook with it). My new favorite product.

So So
Spoiler!Obito seems basicly like an empty shell with no emotions know, It's amazing that he could act as goofy as he did as Tobi.
did I really spell it "Perdictions"? Wow I must be tired
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Good chapter, finally we get back to the battle. It's good to see Naruto holding his own against Madara.
The Wood Dragon was interesting. Good to see the manga is returning to the action. After a break of course
And we still dont know y kakashi killed rin...hmm. doesnt seem like they can get out of this...gai us practically gone n kakashi has closed his MS...ggxx?
I am confident the battle can resolve in naruto's favor without reinforcements and without sasuke. Naruto and karuma have activated their bond, i doubt madara will break that bond. Chances are obito will be pivotal to stopping madara; just, i wonder if it will be in the obvious or typical way of the villain change of heart last minute. I hope kishi finds a more interesting way to allow obito to contribute to madara's defeat. Zabuza and pein were plenty.
With wood dragons or large creature techniques, i think it would be completely appropriate and wise for naruto to summon gamabunta and the pair of frog warriors. I would even enjoy a fluke summons of any of the lesser goofy dandy frogs in order to see madara's face as it happens. I don't, however, think ma and pa would be appropriate or useful. The toads soak up the large stuff like that wood dragon and naruto and bee can deal with madara.
kakashi won't lose his fight with obito. There is still the matter of both eyes achieving their potential as a pair. How or what that means i don't know. A pair of sharingan when used in concert by one wielder can yield greater power. We have never seen the pair of sharingan split and wielded against one another. That changes the whole dynamic and mechanic.
Obito supposedly knows the full extent of the uchiha kinjutsu/ forbidden techniques. What we don't see is kakashi knowing one of them. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see kakashi use either izanagi or izanami in a dramatic bid to steer the fight. It would be on the level of konahamaru using rassengsan to vanquish one of the pein bodies.
I would like to see some focus on kakashi's relationship with his sharingan. This is the perfect point in the story for that relationship to dramatically change. It is also perfect opportunity to see kakashi stay staunchly resolute in his ninja way. Kakashi needs to talk no jutsu obito (Please not naruto this time!). Talk no jutsu + izanami = freed obito but half blind kakashi. Obito takes the advantage away from madara.
Afterwards, someone will be dead. It's too heavy and epic for all major combatants to survive. Will it be...
Bee? Gai? Kakashi? Obito?
I could even see kakashi dying and obito filling the void after everything is settled.
What do the different levels of occular doujutsu see when reading make out tactics.
Byakugan - holding hands
Sharingan - kissing
Mangekyo - showering together
EMS - restricted *parents permission*
Rinnegan - your girlfriend will disown you at this point
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
- I was hoping to see more important major events from Obito's POV like going to the Mist village etc...
- Kishi just pulled a Kubo "I dont care anymore about it" needed an entire page all to itself !!!?
- lol did they translate Naruto really say the word "Cajolery" what a vocabulary he has now.
- Where the hell is the backup that was suppose to arrive?
No Naruto next week lol this chapter felt like it was holding back like there was something he wanted to do but decided to leave it until next next week.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I am going with Knife Eater on this one too. Madara by saying "this attack held my Kyuubi" thinks that the same level of technique will work again. This is not true IMO. Naruto and Kurama have bonded and it was said early on (i think by Chiyo) that a Jinchuriki who is in control of the Bijuu focuses the Bijuus powers, making it stronger than a Bijuu by itself. So i am going to go with Naruto and Kurama getting the upper hand.
Sasuke's search for the 'person who knows everything' has not progressed far enough for him to have a big meeting with whoever it is and then to stumple across Naruto still going at it with Madara. That would just be too rushed, so i guess this one is all on Naruto and Kurama (does not look like Bee will be much help).
That concludes the flashbacks, I was kinda hoping for that. The purpose of these flashbacks was IMO to make us understand Obito and his background of villian and I think it managed to do so .. at least for me. Obito stopped caring for the real world bcs good people had to suffer as with winners theyre allways loosers right ? I can relate to that bcs honestly thats how the world works. This makes me even more so interested to see what philosophical answers can Kishi provide through Naruto.
About the battle, it lookse pretty bad for Naruto and co. By the looks of it, Naruto is the only one still capable of fighting toe to toe while the Bee and Kakashi is exhausted and Gai lookes to be even wounded. Turning the tide now requires a major boost. The possibilities here are ..
- Gai opening his "suicide" gate
- Naruto using what the other Bijuus gave him
- Shinobi Alliance reinforcments
- Juubi going rogue
Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Claymore, Ao No Exorcist, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Gamaran, Toriko, Vinland Saga, Gantz, Wolf Guy, Deadman Wonderland, Vagabond, Blade of The Immortal, Battle Royale, Zettman
The last two chapters of flashbacks both felt EXTREMELY rushed by Kishi's standards... he took his sweet time getting through Obito's recoup + indoctrination, and then sprinted through the exciting stuff (meeting Nagato, launching the Kyuubi attack, etc). We still don't really understand Obito's motives for attacking the village, betraying the Uchiha, recruiting Sasuke... any of these events would have been very interesting to see from Obito's standpoint, and instead we're just back to the action.
And this chapter felt very odd... talk about jumping everywhere in history. The transition via Bijuudama from his fight vs. Minato to his fight vs. Naruto is interesting/symbolic, and whatnot... but it just didn't feel like a good point to end the flashbacks.
And suddenly we're back in the middle of the fight, with another incredible Hashirama technique and Naruto finally unleashing his full Bijuu Mode. No doubt we're in for some incredible action scenes, but what about the missing info from the flashbacks?
Perhaps Kakashi will be the one to explain to us why Rin had to die. Fair enough. But that doesn't tell us anything about Spiral Zetsu, who mysteriously disappeared in the middle of this flashback with no explanation. His personality is very much like the goofy "Tobi" we know and love. He already stated that his intelligence is beyond human level, which Tobi certainly seems to be. Could he still be living within Obito, to this day? Where/why would he have died?
I suppose I should be glad we're getting back to the action... it just feels like Kishi budgeted his pages in very questionable ways recently. He gives a whole chapter to slaughtering some random Mist ninja, yet gives us barely anything on the formation of Akatsuki and the many, many other Tobi plot points throughout the series?

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great for fishing from a kayak! Good for hooks, sinkers, plastics & lures. Keeps tackle dry, even when dropped in the water.
From: Dave: USA 9/23/16
Comments: Great box. I used mine for a portable sonar/gps setup. I have a Humminbird 798ci SI mounted on the top lid and a 12V 8ah battery stored inside along with the extra transducer cabling. Makes a great rig for a Kayak and Canoe when a permanent mount is not an option. Very rugged and holds up to the weight I have in it. Seals the battery up so I'm not getting water on it. I also have another that is a Columbia Tackle Swimbait box, excellent as well.
From: Ryan: East Wenatchee, WA 9/16/14
Comments: I am probably going to get a few of these for storing soft plastics in the bags. Hopefully they do well in keeping bugs and dirt off of them, being that I'm a shore fisherman.
From: Simon: North Texas
Comments: Good for storing plastics in their bags and keeping them dry, huge amount of storage and completely waterproof and durable.

Child recovering after being shot
SMYTH COUNTY, Va. - A 10-year-old girl is in the hospital after being shot over the weekend. It happened around 8:30 Saturday morning at a home off of Shuler Hollow Road.
Investigators believe the shooting was an accident. Police believe a rifle accidentally went off after the girl and her dad were out hunting.
"The 10-year-old female had been shot in the back from an accidental discharge from a hunting rifle," says Major Chip Shuler with the Smyth County Sheriff's Office.
According to the police report, the girl's dad and grandfather told police they were out hunting before the shooting occurred. "Saturday was Youth Hunting Day in Virginia. It's a day when children under the age of 16 can go with a parent and take a deer," explains Shuler.
According to investigators, charges are not expected to be filed in this case.
It does have some Conservation Police Officers reminding hunters about safety. "We would encourage hunters to never load their firearm until they are at the hunting site and they are ready to hunt," says Jeff Pease, a hunter education coordinator for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Pease reminds hunters to always use caution when handling a weapon, and he encourages a safety course. "Take a hunter safety class that we offer free to the public, or get with someone who has experience a mentor ,or somebody who is skilled in that area," he said.
Pease says the busiest time of year for hunting will be in November.
The 10-year-old girl who was shot remains in the Johnson City Medical Center. Hospital officials tell us she's in serious but stable condition.

We all know that expenses can add up quickly while on summer vacation. That's why it is even more important to plan accordingly so you can enjoy savings anywhere possible, whether it is while making your airline reservation or ordering a rental car. The Pacific Inn, a cheap San Diego hotel in downtown, offers a few practical tips that will help take the hassle, and the expense, out of your San Diego summer vacation.
When it comes to saving on airfare, the most important savings tip is knowing when to buy. Try to purchase tickets around 8 weeks ahead of time for maximum savings. Industry experts also recommend purchasing in the middle of the week as airlines often put up promotions on Sunday and Monday and raise the prices toward the end of the week on Friday and Saturday.
In addition to comparing hotels online, visit the actual website of the hotel as they usually post additional discounts and deals. If you do not need extra amenities such as a gym or on-site spa, pick hotels that do not offer these as their nightly rates will likely be less expensive. Also, you want to look for cheap hotels near Gaslamp Quarter and other popular attractions such as Little Italy and the San Diego Bay.
Rental Cars
When making your reservation, reserve the most affordable car that will meet your needs. Remember, you will likely only be driving it for a few days and its appearance is not the most important. If possible, arrive to pick up your rental car as early as possible. If other renters were unable to return their vehicle in the morning and all of the "cheap" cars are unavailable, the rental car agency is required to offer you an upgrade free of charge.
During your trip, don't forget that in addition to the major tourist attractions, there are many interesting locations to see that are not as expensive. From spending the day in Old Town or hiking along the nature reserves and parks in San Diego, there are many options for inexpensive activities.
Make the most of your vacation and reserve a room at the Pacific Inn San Diego. We offer some of the most affordable rates for hotels in Downtown San Diego and are in close proximity to attractions such as Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo and are only a few miles from the Airport. For more information about rates and availability, contact a Reservation Manager today.

From D.C. to the Midwest: Savoring Civil Adventure
More than 500 people witnessed a thoughtful exchange between two people who come at the abortion issue from decidedly different perspectives. What they heard was a civil exchange based upon mutual respect. As one listener points out, it has a lot to do with the way Krista framed the conversation:
"I intend to use Krista's questions about exploring what makes you uncomfortable on your own side, what you admire in the other, to probe more deeply into areas in which I'm so sure I'm right. The answers were wonderfully open, vulnerable, and honest. I hope I can use the openness as a model and find others who want to dialogue in this way. They're not easy to find."
And this conversation continues next week. This Tuesday, Krista is leading a discussion at the Brookings Institution with former Republican senator Pete Domenici and Alice Rivlin, an economist who headed the Office of Management and Budget and Congressional Budget Office.
After watching the first presidential debate, many of us recognize the need for new ways to have civil conversations about the debt crisis and fiscal policy. We'll be live streaming this dialogue. Watch along online or, if you're in the Washington DC area, join us in person. If you do, please stop by and say hello (looking forward to meeting you Chris Abraham and Stephanie Dahle!).
But, before this…
In D.C. (well, Bethesda) for the Religion Newswriters Association gathering. I'm interviewing Eckhart Tolle tomorrow.
As Krista tweets above, she's talking to the influential spiritual teacher in front of her fellow religion journalists. We decided not record this conversation since she interviewed him in 2008 for our show, "The Power of Eckhart Tolle's Now." Even then, hundreds of people responded with powerful testimonials about how his books and philosophy impacted their lives — like this reflection from Barbara Harrington:
"I recently was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, completed chemo, and found his books invaluable during the long winter months of this year. While the chemo was beating the cancer, I had to find ways to beat that incessant "monkey mind," which was anxiety-filled about the future and certainly not wanting to stay in the "now." Learning how to lean into this difficult and yet growth-filled time in my life was a challenge and Eckhart's wisdom, so steeped in Buddhism, was amazingly calming and joyous for me."
And on Wednesday, Krista and the team will dash back to Minneapolis and conclude the CCP series with a public event centering on the future of marriage. As our civilization struggles with how to define marriage, Krista will speak with two men who have been on both sides of the gay marriage debate and see a way beyond acrimony. Perhaps they can provide ideas and tools for healing our fractured civic spaces around this contentious issue. Like all our other events, you can reserve your seat at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, or watch the live video stream with Jonathan Rauch and David Blankenhorn.
I'd be remiss if I didn't end on a bit of a lighter note and share some of my favorite tweets from Krista (@KristaTippett), such as this this reflection on 140 characters:
My first two weeks on Twitter. A revelation that so many of my thoughts are just this size.
She also recommended a number of articles to read — from a piece in Slate…
Something sweet for Sunday then Twitter Sabbath until tomorrow: TY @DianeWinston for Cookies and the Human Condition
…to a commentary by Steve Coll:
Refreshing clarity on the meme of "Muslim Rage" in The New Yorker. A must read.
From On Being's Twitter stream (@Beingtweets), a delightfully unexpected confluence of two fantastic musicians:

BIMS Goals for 09-10
by gwilson on Aug.22, 2009, under Uncategorized
There's a saying that I believe is very true: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will do!" Every strong program needs to take stock on occasion of where they've come from, where they want to go. On Friday, August 14th, BIMS faculty met in a retreat to see where the program stood following its first year of operations. The general agreement was that the program had a very successful start and was poised to become an exceptional contributor to McMurry's future. Below are some of the goals for the coming year that arose from the conversation.
- Foster better recruiting and connection with students. We believe it is vital for BIMS to draw in good students and foster their success in our program. In our first year, there was little intentional recruiting of students specifically for BIMS. Still, over 20 students made that choice. We feel a strong effort on our part could bring 40-50 students to McMurry each fall to build our program's numbers. At the same time, we know building community and providing an infrastructure that helps every student succeed is crucial to retaining students in the program. We are planning social events and informal activities to build identity and a sense of belonging and community within our students. Having 100 total majors each year is not out of the question, and doing the things necessary to get there is a main goal.
- Initiate a Women in Science effort headed by Dr. HD. One of McMurry's most successful groups is women science students, and with a growing number of female science faculty we expect that success to grow. In order to encourage and support women entering the sciences to persist and thrive, a new program will be developed by Dr. DiFrancesca to intentionally address the challenges and opportunities faced by women pursuing science careers.
- Begin development of student portfolios, headed up by Dr. LS and Dr. AW. The BIMS program has a unique three-pronged approach to demonstrating the knowledge and skills of our students. Two of those prongs center on development of portfolios – biological portfolios (actual artifacts – cultures, cells, molecules, other biological products from work in lab courses) and digital portfolios (reports, posters, digital images of gels, photomicrography, etc.). The biological products will go in a -80 or otherwise be preserved for future use. The digital artifacts will be kept in a digital format. Drs. Sharp and Wyatt will begin this year to develop that infrastructure, most likely using Moodle and Mahara as the input interfaces. We hope products from one course will then be available for use in the next, linking lab skills beyond courses and even disciplines. Our goal is for every student to graduate from BIMS with evidence of their knowledge and skills from both lecture and lab, and these artifacts help provide that culture of evidence that enables future employers and admissions committees to see first-hand what McMurry BIMS students can do.
- Begin development of BIMS 4000 proficiency exams, headed up by Dr. GW. The third prong for demonstrating knowledge and skills of our students is the proficiency testing done in BIMS 4000. We are developing exams over the basic knowledge and skills expected for biology and biomedical science graduates, and will test students in this course. Three areas of mastery are expected: knowledge, skills, and analysis/communication. Our goal is online exams that can be taken repeatedly until acceptable scores are achieved, rather than one-time exams that leave students with an all-or-nothing result to live with. We care less about when the students know something than we do that they eventually know it, and so this approach helps students prove their basic knowledge in areas of study before they graduate. Since we will have juniors in the program for the first time this year, it is time to develop the exams to use for this purpose.
- Prepare HHMI-SEA proposal, headed up by Dr. TB, Dr. AW, and Dr. HD. The HHMI-Science Education Alliance program (http://www.hhmi.org/grants/sea/) was founded to grow the involvement of freshman students nation-wide in true research through isolation and characterization of bacteriophage (viruses attacking bacteria). Since we already involve BIMS freshmen in research and we have the course structure to support our involvement in HHMI-SEA, BIMS has decided to pursue inclusion in this program. We will submit an application in October and hope to be part of this national program for the 2010-2011 school year. Participation will raise the profile of BIMS students and help them see how participation in our program immediately involves them in research equal to that found at major research universities nation-wide.
- Re-submit a revised MURI Centers proposal for biotech education and research support, headed by Drs GW and AW. At the end of last spring, Drs. Wilson and Wyatt submitted a proposal to President Russell for the Center for Biomedical Education and Research, an initiative to demonstrate how education can be improved through a research-rich approach. The hope was this program would train our students to become mentors to high school teachers and students for the improvement of high school science in our region. The economy and unavailability of funds sank the proposal. However, we will submit this proposal again this year for possible start in Summer 2010.
- Develop at least two lab renovation proposals for September 2009 competition. In September 2009 there will be a competition among McMurry science faculty for proposals to complete a modest renovation of two labs and support spaces that would enable innovating teaching and greater involvement of students and faculty in research. BIMS faculty have committed to submit at least two proposals.
- Find ways to relieve strain on our capacity and facilities caused by growth in A&P I. The unexpected growth of Human Anatomy & Physiology enrollment has stretched our personnel and facilities resources beyond acceptable limits. We fully believe this is only the beginning of long-term growth in demand for this course. A plan for managing the growing numbers of students seeking this course must be developed before registering students for Fall 2010.
- Cultivate involvement of faculty and community in supporting pre-health professions development, headed by Dr. LS. Pre-health professions advisor Dr. Larry Sharp has taken the first important step in creating a more deliberate and proactive approach to pre-health professionals development through implementation of the PREP 1105 Seminar course for all students pursuing a health professions career. The requirement for incoming students to complete four semesters of these seminar courses in order to obtain the coveted composite letter of evaluation from McMurry science faculty means a method for evaluating students and providing annual feedback has to be finalized. Dr. Sharp will be building that infrastructure from faculty and community professionals during this year.
All these efforts will help BIMS cement is place as one of the premier science programs at McMurry and build more qualified and successful graduates. Stay tuned as we follow the progress made in each area.

Famous knuckleballers
The release of the movie Knuckleball!, which features former Red Sox player Tim Wakefield, casts a new spotlight on the mysterious craft, which can befuddle hitters, prolong careers, and is practiced by only a few. Here's a look at some of baseball's most famous knuckleballers through the years. Next
Tim Wakefield
Wakefield announced his retirement in February of 2012 after 17 seasons with the Red Sox. The knuckleballer is the third winningest pitcher in team history, finishing his career with a record of 200-180 with a 4.41 ERA in 627 appearances. Next
R.A. Dickey
The 37-year-old Mets righthander is enjoying the finest of his major-league seasons in 2012, with an 18-6 record. His previous best was 11 wins in 2010. He also pitched for the Rangers, Mariners and Twins. Next
Charlie Hough
Hough made his major league debut in 1970 with the Dodgers, and went on to pitch 25 seasons with the Dodgers, Rangers, White Sox and Marlins from 1970 to 1994. Hough's career record was an even 216-216 with a career ERA of 3.75. Next
Joe Niekro
One of two knuckleballing brothers, Joe Niekro spent 22 years in the majors with the Tigers, Braves, Astros, Yankees and Twins. He went 221-204 with a 3.59 ERA. Next
Phil Niekro
Phil Niekro's knuckleball landed him in the Hall of Fame. He spent 24 years with the Braves, Yankees, Indians and Blue Jays from 1964 to 1987. He had a 318-274 record and an ERA of 3.35. Next
Hoyt Wilhelm
Another Hall of Famer, Wilhelm played in 1,070 games from 1952 to 1972 for the New York Giants, Cardinals, Indians, Orioles, White Sox, Angels, Braves, Cubs and Dodgers. He went 143-122 and had an ERA of 2.52. Next
Wilbur Wood
The lefthander started his career with the Red Sox in 1961 and played three full seasons in Boston before being purchased by the Pirates in September of 1964. He also played 12 seasons for the White Sox before ending his career in 1978. He was 164-156 with a 3.24 ERA. Next
Jim Bouton
Bouton, who turned to knuckleballing later in his career, was the author of the book "Ball Four." He pitched for the Yankees, Seattle Pilots, Astros, and Braves from 1962 to 1970 and went 62-63 with a 3.57 ERA. Next
Tom Candiotti
Nicknamed "The Candy Man," Candiotti spent 16 years in the majors from 1983 to 1999, playing for the Brewers, Indians, Blue Jays, Dodgers, and A's. He went 151-164 and had a 3.73 ERA. Back to the beginning

"I had a great pair of lifestrides with a croc pattern that I purchased in a store about a year ago. Long story short, I took a tumble down some steps and tore up the design. I thought just buying online would be ok, but this new design doesn't work for my feet. The heel is slightly higher and the pointed toe crams my feet. The ankle part digs into me and its painful. I'm hoping the older, simpler, more comfy style comes back!!"

* New: Directory Traversal Vulnerability on Linux-based hosts This release addresses a directory traversal vulnerability that is present on host systems and that may allow for remote retrieval of any file from the host system. In order to send a malicious request, the attacker will need to have access to the network on which the host resides. The issue is present on Linux-based hosts only, not on Windows-based hosts. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3733 to this issue.
# Miscellaneous
* Disk Stress Test fails with data corruption error
WLK DiskStress test fails with data corruption error on LSI Logic virtual device.
* Server 2.0.1 does not allow vmnet-bridge service to be run in the foreground
The vmnet-bridge service has a parameter -d for putting it in daemon mode. Without using the -d parameter, the vmnet-bridge service should be able to run in the foreground. This was not working. This issue is resolved in this release.

Compare great Caterham Wheel Tracking prices in Caterham with Who Can Fix My Car.
Seems as if my car was cursed. Sorted the issue & delivered & collected car. Would use again. Cheers
They were brilliant and did a really good job.
Great job!
Is the first time I use this website and I am very satisfied with the result, they came to get my car and after repair they brought it home, and now it works very well. I definitely recommend it, comfort and good price.
Picked vehicle up and dropped off, all work done well. My only gripe is i asked for a call before starting further works after MOT to confirm costs, but work was started before phone call was made which kind of forced my hand. Still great guys, and i cant fault the work, thats the only reason for 4 stars not 5.
Absolutely brilliant, first class service, very knowledgeable mechanic and great polite guy. Really pleased good competitve price and if your looking for a mechanic mark is excellent. Regards Peter
Mark was very efficient and very friendly. I would use him again, and would recommend him.
Very pleased with Mark's work - on time and kept to the price quotes which was very reasonable. Will use again!
Hi was a very nice bloke shame my wife had a car acerdent great price
Great job and very convenient for me.
Anthony and his team did an excellent job of replacing my wishbone and droplinks. The quote was competitive, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the work was completed very quickly. It's great to find a local garage that offers this kind of service. Do not hesitate in selecting them for your work. Many thanks to the team.
A friendly team who got the job done.
Excellent service. The wrong part was delivered (not Tyremark's fault) but Tyremark resolved and completed the job within hours even giving my dog and I a lift back home rather than waiting at the garage.
Great experience, done within the time I was told and nice and tidy garage. Very friendly staff too.
Very good and quick service, from a very friendly team . they even changed 2 other belts which were worn while changing timing belt, for the cost of parts only.! Have now recommended them to other family members. would highly recommend
Very poor job done. I asked them to investigate wiring issue and to look for damaged wiring ect. They barely looked at the car. They plugged the car in and told me it couldn't read the ecu!!! Well that's the exact reason it was down with you!! They told me possibly a whole wiring loom at the cost of hundreds. Turned out after having a second opinion it was just a broken wire and was fixed easily. These people give mechanics a bad name! I would not recommend this garage this website won't let me unstuck the box!!!!!!
very disappointed! they fixed my car in May, I paid over £ 1000 for that. I paid them very quickly. one month later i received a parking notice, £ 80 to be paid because they didn't pay for the parking ticket. I called the garage and was told to pay for it and forward them the notice in order to be refunded. so i did it. I never received this money!!! I've been calling them every week, they said they transferred the money last week, but still no money in my account. I called them yesterday (today is the 28th August) and they said they were calling me back, of course this didn't happen. I find it ridicolous, I paid over 1000 pounds in 2 days and now I've been chasing them for £ 80, after 2 months they are still not refunding me. no reply to my emails, no calls back as promised, no money. will never and ever go back to them to fix my car.
Garage did exactly what I asked of them Very convenient timing and easy access to leave vehicle at a time that suited me Would come back and would recommend
A professional and quick service would 100% recommend this garage!
Service completed. recommended some other work that needed to be done, but not immediately mandatory.
They are friendly, they care the customer with very good customer service
They are friendly, they care the customer with very good customer service
Very Good customer service. They dealt with my Citroen C5 A/C problems, they carried out regasing and other fault diagnosis. It's a shame they did not have an adapter needed to do my wheel balancing as the wheel hub is bigger than the equipment they have. I hope that they invest in that kit as they are a good garage. Recommended.
Very polite and informative staff. Work carried out quickly and explanations of what was done was carried out in a easy and understandable way.
Excellent Garage. Did the diagnostic fairly quickly and pinpointed the exact problem.

Ryan White and Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Ryan White and Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Women represent nearly one fourth of people living with HIV infection in the U.S. (CDC data) and 28.3 percent of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients (2014 Ryan White Client-Level Data Report). Minority women comprise the majority of Ryan White clients: 61 percent are African American women while Latinas comprise 19.5 percent. This heavy burden is driven by an environment of poverty, lack of health care, and substance abuse. Female clients of Ryan White have lower incomes than male clients, according to the 2014 report.
March 10 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
Ryan White HIV Care Makes a Difference
Overall, Ryan White clients have higher rates of retention in care, and better viral suppression, compared with national data. According to the 2014 Ryan White Client-Level Data Report, the same holds true for female Ryan White clients, whose health outcomes are comparable to overall Ryan White results:
- Among Ryan White clients, women have rates of retention in care (82.4 percent) and viral load suppression (80.1 percent) that are comparable to overall Ryan White figures.
- Overall, the percentages of black/African American women who were retained in care (81.8 percent) and virally suppressed (78.1 percent) were relatively consistent with national Ryan White averages.
- Latinas represent 19.5 percent of Ryan White clients. Overall, Hispanic/Latino women had a higher retention in care percentage (86.3 percent) than the national Ryan White average, while \viral suppression (82.6 percent) was relatively consistent with the national Ryan White average.
TA Resources on Women and HIV
A collection of TA and training resources focused on women with HIV/AIDS are available on the TARGET Center, like:
- Enhancing Access to HIV Care for Women of Color presents practical information for providers to use to meet the unique needs of women. Lessons learned are from SPNS research demonstration project findings.
- A Guide to the Clinical Care of Women with HIV presents specific tools for clinicians in caring for women living with HIV. The Guide is among the most downloaded HIV/AIDS clinical protocols developed by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. Relatedly, multiple chapters in HRSA's Guide for HIV/AIDS Clinical Care also provide essential information on care for women living with HIV/AIDS. The Guide was developed by the AETC National Resource Center (NRC), which provides many training tools for clinicians, including resources featured on the NRC's topic page.
Ryan White Programs Targeting Women
While all Ryan White programs deliver care to women living with HIV, several have a special focus on women and girls as well as their families.
- Part D of Ryan White is focused on HIV/AIDS services for women, infants, children, youth, and their families. See the Part D WICY Fact Sheet and the list of Part D grantees.
- Ryan White's SPNS program investigates innovative models of HIV/AIDS care for minority and underserved populations, including women. Recent initiatives include Enhancing Engagement and Retention in Quality HIV Care for Transgender Women of Color (2012-2016) and the recently completed Enhancing Access for Women of Color Initiative (2009-2014).

Copyright Enforcement Group's ("CEG-TEK Int'l") DMCA letters have been sent out to thousands of would-be "John Doe" copyright infringement defendants to date for the alleged downloading of pornographic films. The problem is that they often ask for MULTIPLE SETTLEMENTS FOR THE SAME DOWNLOADED TITLE.
BACKGROUND: Just in case you did not read my first article on Ira Siegel's / CEG-TEK's DMCA Scare Letters, I'm including these next two paragraphs to bring you up to speed.
Instead of CEG-TEK's failed methods of suing hundreds of John Doe Defendants in one bittorrent lawsuit, CEG-TEK has concocted a turnkey method of scaring a would-be internet user into settling their case BEFORE THE PLAINTIFF EVEN FILES A LAWSUIT. Instead of a copyright troll paying a $350 filing fee and proving copyright infringement in front of a judge, and in lieu of hiring plaintiff attorneys to fight the ISPs in order to obtain the names, the addresses, and the phone numbers of would-be defendants (and noting that ISPs are no longer cooperating as easily as they used to), Ira Siegel and CEG-TEK have found a way using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to have the ISP send letters to the alleged infringers, doing CEG-TEK's dirty work for them.
The notice an ISP subscriber would receive would say something such as "Notice of Unauthorized Use of Registered Copyrights Owned by so-and-so," followed by a Case #, a password, and CEG TEK International's long and confusing "scare" letter threatening that if the defendant didn't settle the claims against them online via their http://www.copyrightsettlements.com website (I am not including the link for obvious reasons of protecting your privacy; read my other article for details relating to IP address tracking, website failures, etc.), then Ira M. Siegel or one on CEG-TEK's legal counsel would sue for violation of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 106.
The problem is that even though they are only asking for a settlement of
$200 for each title [UPDATE: $500 per infringed title (prices per title for some production companies have gone up)], CEG-TEK IS NOT FILTERING OUT DUPLICATE DOWNLOAD ATTEMPTS. So, a downloader who downloads a title such as Media Products, Inc. DBA Devil's Film's "It's Okay! She's my Step-Daughter" or Digital Sin Inc.'s "Fresh Outta Highschool" using bittorrent, and their bittorrent software attempts to connect to these files multiple times, -OR- if CEG-TEK monitors that you have downloaded various pieces of the same title multiple times (even when the IP address is the same), YOU WILL GET MULTIPLE LETTERS FROM YOUR ISP.
The problem I ask is — how does an accused downloader call up Ira Siegel — a KNOWN COPYRIGHT TROLL who has sued thousands of defendants for $150,000 per title, and who has sent out countless "scare" letters demanding thousands of dollars per title — how do you call up Ira Siegel and say, "yeah, I downloaded it," ***ADMISSION OF GUILT*** "but I only did it once, not three times"???
Thinking with my jaded lawyer mind, part of me wonders whether CEG-TEK Int'l have purposefully left the duplicate titles on their DMCA notices to lure would-be defendants to call them up, admit guilt [that they have done the download, "but only once," and then CEG-TEK and Ira Siegel would have all the ammunition that they would need to sue that downloader in federal court.
Anyway, I don't need to say that an attorney (our firm or any other firm) could negotiate down the duplicate downloads without admitting guilt or incriminating you as you might do on your own if you called them yourself.
PERSONAL NOTE: I still hold the opinion that if they really have a claim against you than they should present their claim in the form of a lawsuit in federal court where a judge will make them prove their claims against you (and quite frankly, I am even more of the opinion that they should not be suing downloaders AT ALL [and that they should focus their efforts on taking down infringing content using the DMCA remedies given to them by the law]), but I also understand the economics involved with someone wanting to just make this go away at the early stages.
Once again, if you have not already done so, go back and read my initial article on CEG-TEK Int'l's DMCA letters and what I think of them.

Reach stackers can be fitted with C hooks, magnets
Konecranes has introduced reach stackers for a variety of industries, from steel, wind energy, nuclear, and oil and gas to traditional and intermodal terminals.
The stackers can be used with C hooks for carrying coils or fitted with magnets for handling plate steel. The spreader can be removed and replaced with a hook for use as a pick-and-carry crane that can be operated by a forklift operator rather than a licensed crane operator.
The load-sensing hydraulic system with variable piston pumps has been designed to provide balance between engine power and hydraulic demand for any given lift.

Beyonce, Jay-Z summer stadium tour confirmed
Married superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally nailed down the rumored "On the Run Tour," which currently includes a three-week U.S. excursion.
The award-winning duo will embark on a stadium trek in late June, beginning with a June 25 stop in Miami Gardens, FL. The itinerary currently boasts 16 major market stops, including two Canadian shows—July 9 in Toronto, Ontario, and July 27 in Winnipeg, Manitoba—before concluding Aug. 5 in San Francisco, CA.
Presales for fan club members begin April 29, while general onsales in many markets kick off May 1.
The hip-hop couple, who made a few unannounced appearances at Coachella earlier this month, recently wrapped up their own individual road trips. Beyonce's year-long "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" sold more than $212 million from more than 1.8 million tickets to 126 concerts, according to Billboard, while Jay Z's "Legends of Summer" trek with Justin Timberlake raked in an average of $5 million per concert on the 14-date itinerary.
Beyonce made history last December when she unexpectedly dropped her eponymous fifth album. The audio/visual mix, which sold more than 825,000 copies worldwide in three days, became the fastest-selling album in iTunes history.
Jay Z's most recent collection, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," surfaced last July and marked his 12th studio release. The album, which features guest appearances by Frank Ocean, Nas, Justin Timberlake and Rick Ross, topped The Billboard 200, as well as the magazine's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and Top Tastemaker Albums charts.

Favorite spring boot!
"Got these in hickory last year. They lasted really well even with plenty of use, so i had to get another pair in case they stop making them. Initially putting on they are a touch stiff, but after a half hour they really form to the foot. These things are sooo comfy and run true to size. By far the perfect spring or fall boot."

Jack Otter and I chew over Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss' idea for a Bitcoin ETF in this week's Focus on Funds video. We discuss why the idea is unlikely to fly with regulators and the ETF industry — and also why it's probably perfect for a relatively exotic separate accounts or hedge-fund strategy.
Here's an interview from a few months back with the man once dubbed the "Godfather of ETFs" on why many ETF gurus don't much like the idea.
We also touch on the case for comparing Bitcoin to SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which I argue is not completely ridiculous (but certainly a stretch in the year 2013).

23andMe advisor bidding for Google-backed prize with Google's help
Genetics researcher George Church is a great believer in openness, according to a profile of him in Wired. So he shouldn't mind a bit if we disclose some facts about his business dealings that we find fascinating. To wit:
He is an advisor to 23andMe, a Google-backed genetic-testing startup. Anne Wojcicki, 23andMe's cofounder, is married to Google cofounder Sergey Brin. Google has backed Church's Personal Genome Project, an effort to tie the human genome with personal health information, with an unrestricted grant. Church is an entrant in the Archon X Prize for Genomics, a $10 million genetics-research competition. Anne Wojcicki has donated money to the Archon X Prize at a Google-hosted gala. She and husband Brin, along with other Google executives, are also members of the X Prize's Vision Circle, a group of high-powered fundraising supporters. Oh, and just to complete things, 23andMe board member Esther Dyson is one of Church's test subjects.
Nothing really amiss here, but it all seems quite cozy. If Church's team wins the X Prize, Brin and Wojcicki can be quite content that their donations didn't end up too far from home. (Photo by Lloyd Ziff/Wired)

Python Defender 2 - 0.02
Erik Martin (neccarus)
I have learned a lot over the past months, and am applying what I have learned, to the creation of this game. So far there isn't a whole lot to do, but I have basic movement set up. All the menus will be custom made, primarily to suit my purposes. I currently have plans for 10 different playable ships that the player will unlock as the proceed through the game. Along with that, there will also be different types of equipment the player can attach to the ship, I am hoping to implement a tuning system of sorts, where the player can actually modify the different attributes of the equipment once it is on their ship. There is still a lot for me to work on, and I have plans of moving more of the code into class's and methods.
Fixes: Ships are now objects. The findShip() method was moved out of the Ship class. The menu's now clearly state how to exit from them. Changes: Ships now have types, the ships type will affect it's size. They are sorted into 5 categories: fighter, heavy fighter, corvette, frigate, heavy frigate. Added: Some new 'toys' to play with in the equipment menu. Short term plans: To fix the main() method, a lot of the code in there could be placed in methods to give the main method a much cleaner look. Give the enemies some basic AI, this way I will be able to observe the effects of shields more closely.

I am more excited than I should be to be attending the 100th Year of Physics at the University of Arkansas in early April. I finally got someone to trade unassigned ER call weeks with me so that I can go. That's right I am a physics nerd, as my kid sister (now 46 yo) would say. I graduated with a BA Physics degree from U of A in 1978. I am look forward to visiting with the professors and fellow graduates.
I will get to hear Dr. Wolfgang Ketterle give the Centennial Maurer Distinguished Lecture. The title of the lecture is "New Forms of Quantum Matter Near Absolute Zero temperature". I hope I won't feel too lost. I have not kept up with the changes in Physics. (We all know it's tough enough keeping up with the changes in medicine.)
I have made my hotel arrangements, made arrangements for Rusty (my chocolate Labrador), and am mentally packing.

It's no wonder that Master Schreiber's ATA Martial Arts in Martinez, California, was voted "Best Martial Arts School in the Bay Area" (2009, 2010) by readers of the San Francisco Chronicle, or that the man himself was named "Best Citizen in the East Bay" (2007) by East Bay Express. His school is top-notch in the region and in the ATA. His character is impeccable. His marketing savvy, enviable. He is gifted with a brilliant mind, very well educated and kept at razor sharpness. He has wondrous abilities to speak and write with eloquence, and a passion for helping others that started along with his Songahm training at age nine. (He had the great good fortune to befriend now Chief Master Dan Thor then and since.)
His success in the martial arts industry must also be attributed, to some degree, to the leadership, values and examples of his parents, and to life lessons learned from his many siblings (13 - 10 adopted). Whatever the source of his success - a penchant for business, a passion for teaching - the results of his work are deeply felt far and wide, perhaps most notably by some underprivileged and at-risk kids.
Master Schreiber, 38, is a married father, an attorney and former public defender. He ran a Taekwondo club at Harvard University, and later taught five days a week as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, founding one of the first WTTU schools. He also founded and taught at an ATA school in New Haven, Connecticut. He is a World Champion competitor with numerous titles and awards. The non-profit he co-founded with Chief Master Thor and Senior Master William Babin - Team PRIDE - has yielded outstanding results across the country in just a few years. He is held in great esteem by his fellow Masters, juniors and seniors. And still, Master Schreiber is one of the most humble and compassionate people you might ever hope to meet.
A sense of purpose rooted in genuine caring, often for the less fortunate and most challenged, has permeated Master Schreiber's persona throughout his remarkable career. He seems to feel that serving our fellow man is the most noble cause - a sentiment widely shared in the ATA. It's a kind of thinking and doing greatly reflected in the generosity and community service actions of his students and staff.
Visit Master Schreiber's website at www.bay-ata.com for links to more articles about Team PRIDE and this inspired, inspiring leader! ATA Leadership NOW salutes, thanks and congratulates Master Jordan Schreiber on his remarkable success. As a model citizen for the Songahm family and tens of thousands more in his community, his tradition of excellence has undoubtedly changed the world.
Team PRIDE, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides need-based tuition assistance to bring "at-risk" children martial arts programs that offer mentorship and teach leadership skills and goal-setting to help them develop PRIDE (perseverance, respect, integrity, discipline, excellence) in themselves and their lives.

Treviso ended the Heineken Cup Pool stages with a victory to their name after they beat the Ospreys 17-14 at Stadio Di Monigo on Sunday.
Treviso ended the Heineken Cup Pool stages with a win to their name after they came from behind to beat the Ospreys 17-14 at Stadio Di Monigo.
The home side made a fast start as they attempted to salvage some pride from a Heineken Cup campaign that had seen them collect just a solitary losing bonus-point prior to kick-off.
Edoardo Gori's smart break from the base of a scrum and good work from the Italian forwards laid the platform for Kris Burton to register three points from the kicking tee but they were the only points that Treviso could muster in a first half low on quality.
The visitors did have the better of possession and territory in difficult conditions in northern Italy as the half wore on but they could only manage two Dan Biggar penalties in the opening quarter of an hour themselves to leave the score finely poised at 6-3 at half-time.
Biggar extended the lead with a drop-goal early in the second half and the Welshmen would have thought that victory was almost in the bag when Ben John broke a couple of tackles and offloaded for Kahn Fotuali'i to put Tom Isaacs over in the corner just before the hour mark.
The Italians refused to give up hope though and, after a period of concerted pressure from the forwards from a line-out and then in a series of scrums, Alessandro Zanni crawled over the line to reduce the deficit to four points after Burton's conversion.
And the hosts were rewarded for the endeavour as they snatched victory with the final action of the game as Giulio Toniolatti broke through the Ospreys' defensive line and set up the opportunity for replacement Andrea Pratichetti to dive over from short range.
It may have been a dead rubber but the celebrations showed that it certainly meant something to Treviso and the Ospreys finished a disappointing European campaign by letting a commanding 14-3 lead slip in the final six minutes.

Industry: Synthetic Chemicals and Materials in the Environment: Do We Need a New Way to Design These Products?
With Philip Gschwend
About the event
With its daylong MIT Environmental Research Forum held on December 15, 2011, the Environmental Research Council (ERC) fulfilled its charge from Provost L. Rafael Reif to "provide a detailed blueprint for building a strong environmental initiative" at MIT.
Coinciding with the Provost's December 7 release of the ERC Report: Implementing the MIT Global Environment Initiative, the forum brought to life the council's vision for a new approach to environmental problem solving — one that integrates MIT's "core strengths in scientific, engineering and social research to better understand the global environment and manage our role in it through technological and social innovation."

Matt Frattin's MVP Season Continues
Pension Plan Puppets
March 20 2011 08:16PM
It is rare for a college player to be dismissed from their school team entirely and make a comeback. Generally, it means that the player has to find another school to take them in or they move along to some level of the professional ranks. The University of North Dakota's Matt Frattin has trod a long and difficult path to return to the team he loves but through hard work and the support of loves ones the redemption of Matt Frattin is now complete. Named the Western College Hockey Association's player of the year he has also been named to First All-Star Team and is one of the ten Hobey Baker Award finalists.
Last night he wrote another chapter in his story.
Along with being the NCAA leader in goals Frattin has been adding a number of game winning goals to his resume.
The senior right wing scored his sixth game-winning goal of the season 5:11 into the second overtime period of the WCHA Final Five championship game Saturday. The night before, Frattin scored with 5:40 to go with the score tied at 3, but it took only a day to put the memory of Friday's goal on the back burner.
The biggest thing for North Dakota is that they won the tournament without their second leading scorer:
Frattin worked overtime both nights to make up for the absence of forward Jason Gregoire. Frattin scored the game winner both nights — his 34th and 35th of the season, respectively — en route to being named the Final Five's most valuable player. He also added an assist on the weekend.
It was a weekend's performance that certainly got the crowd thinking about what could happen:
As the teams stood on their blue lines, waiting for the trophy presentation, the crowd of 16,731 let out a booming "Ho-bey, Ba-ker" chant.
Matt Frattin may not have won that award on Saturday night, but his dramatic heroics did produce another trophy for the Sioux in this impressive season.
Obviously, there are some caveats to take into account with Matt Frattin's big year: He's a senior which provides an advantage, he plays on a really strong North Dakota team, and he could become a free agent on August 15th. Hopefully, last year's offer of a professional contract by the Maple Leafs will help them when it comes time to sign Frattin. In the meantime, here's hoping his great year continues in the NCAA tournament.

I'm pretty sure Frattin is going to go UFA on August 15th.
He doesn't have a lot of footspeed; there are plenty of guys with laser beam wrist shots playing in the AHL.
March 21 2011, 10:16AM
Burke needs to make a push to sign Frattin. If doesn't, there will probably be a nice line of teams waiting on August 15th. At worst, he plays for the Marlies, but the potential for more is too great to ignore.

Getable Rental Expert
Crawler dozers, also known as bulldozers are very large and mighty vehicles. Typical bulldozers have huge front pushing blades. These mean machines usually have tracks instead of wheels, which provides more stability and mobility. The large tracks have an additional advantage of distributing weight over larger surface areas, and therefore can withstand a wide range of terrain conditions and don't sink in sandy and muddy terrain.
available horsepowers
As loader dozers are typically used to knock down large hillsides and load the material onto haul trucks, dump trucks or tandems, the amount of material to be moved or loaded determines what size of loader dozer to use. As moving and lifting extra-large boulders is another job that is almost exclusively the work of a loader dozer, the general size of the rocks is another determining factor.
Renting a loader dozer is necessary when an extraordinarily large bucket capacity is required. In addition, loader dozers are used in very rocky ground, ground that a wheel loader would be unstable on and would not have the power to cut into and move. When bucket capacity, power and stability are the highest priorities -- not speed -- a loader dozer is the most appropriate bucket machine to rent for flatwork.

Romney Adviser: President Obama Doesn't 'Fully Appreciate' Our 'Anglo-Saxon Heritage'
On the eve of Mitt Romney's arrival in London, one of his advisers made a remark that The Telegraph says "may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity."
That's a fair assessment. When explaining why Romney would have a better grasp of the relationship between the United States and the U.K., the adviser had this to say—
We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special. The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have.
Obama, of course, has a different heritage, as his father was African.
This is only the latest dig at Obama's heritage by the Romney campaign.
Last week, Romney campaign co-chair John Sununu said Obama "has no idea how the American system functions, and we shouldn't be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia..."
Sununu later added, "I wish this President would learn how to be an American."
