Nearby farmers still refer to the 17,000 acres beyond that barricade as Parchman State Penal Farm, although a metal sign insists on the offical designation: Mississippi State Penitentiary.
The physical surroundings--cotton and bean fields, the 21 scattered camps, the barbed wire enclosures--suggest that nothing much has changed since the days, early in this century, when outsiders could visit Parchman State Penal Farm only on the fifth Sunday of those rare months containing more than four.
The program in Mississippi, where the practice began informally in 1918 and is now institutionalized, receives little public attention or academic scrutiny accorded to the more recent and more limited conjugal visit policies in California, Washington, South Carolina, New Mexico, Connecticut and New York. The difference, perhaps, is that in Mississippi, where Parchman serves as the only penitentiary, nobody issued proclamations or opened up the matter for debate.

Shizuo Heiwajima is tritagonnist of Durarara!! series, he appeared in Playstation Allstar Battle Royale as DLC character
Shizuo stated that he grew up within a perfectly normal family and suffered no significant traumas during his childhood. His superhuman strength first surfaced when he got mad at Kasuka for eating the last cup of pudding. He managed to pick up the fridge but the strain was too much for him and he ended up in the hospital. As the years passed, Shizuo's body, after years of abuse, managed to build up enough strength to withstand Shizuo's outbursts and effectively give him unlimited strength with no negative consequences to his well-being.
Once Shizuo entered middle school, he quickly became friends with Tom Tanaka after saving him from some bullies. Tom gave Shizuo a lot of helpful advice on how to keep others from starting trouble with him such as bleaching his hair blonde so that he would be easy to recognize and earn a reputation. It manages to work until Shizuo entered high school and encountered Izaya Orihara for the first time. Shizuo and Izaya hated each other almost instantly and have developed a fierce rivalry. Their battles would frequently cause thousands of dollars in collateral damage requiring the frequent intervention of the police, as well as fellow classmate Hajime Shishizaki who was one of the only ones capable of standing up to Shizuo's immense strength.
Around his second or third year of high school, Izaya became wanted for a crime and he framed Shizuo as being his accomplice. Shizuo, who was under 18 at that time, flung a vending machine at the cops who tried to arrest him. The policemen investigated more and Shizuo was cleared of all charges. However, this incident caused his hatred of Izaya to escalate.
After graduating, Shizuo drifted from job to job constantly getting fired from each one due to his temper or because of Izaya's plotting. He was also approached by a talent scout and instead nearly beat him to death for annoying him. Kasuka intervened and the talent scout approached him instead. After that, Kasuka visited him and gave Shizuo the bartender uniforms that he wears so frequently and asked him to settle down a bit. However, thanks to Izaya, he also got fired from that job. Eventually, Shizuo found a job working for Tom's debt collectors agency as a bodyguard. However, Shizuo usually went overboard when shaking down a client which would usually end with the company having to pay for any collateral damage

Johnny Carson's longtime lawyer is blowing the lid off the secret life of the beloved "Tonight Show" host — painting him as a sad, depressed man who cheated on his wives, was tormented by his mom and refused to visit his son in a mental hospital.
"He was a great star, but not a great man," Henry Bushkin — who was jokingly dubbed "Bombastic Bushkin" by Carson on his late-night NBC gabfest — told Page Six.
"Many great comedians were miserable human beings ... Johnny suffered a great many demons brought about by what I call a toxic sort of mother," Bushkin said. "His mother couldn't give a compliment. He's the biggest star in the world and she couldn't even acknowledge it."
Bushkin, who was also Carson's agent and manager, is shopping a warts-and-all memoir about the late-night legend through superagent David Vigliano, in which he'll tell how the comic:
-Enjoyed the use of a 10,000-square-foot penthouse with a private pool at Caesars Palace when he played Vegas and routinely entertained the "18 beautiful girls in the chorus line that opened his act ... and he was certainly involved with some of them."
-Refused to visit his son, Rick, when he was committed to Bellevue with severe emotional problems. "The kid was there for 4½ months and he never went. I had to take care of everything and was there almost every day. Rick [who died in a car crash in 1991] was a lovely human being."

PRODUCT INNOVATION: Kleenex Develops Softer, Stronger Tissue
Kimberly-Clark Corp. (K-C) has launched what it calls "the next generation in facial tissue performance" with Kleenex Facial Tissue with Lotion.
Kimberly-Clark Corp. (K-C) has launched what it calls "the next generation in facial tissue performance" with Kleenex Facial Tissue with Lotion. The enhanced product offers dramatically improved softness and strength to the iconic brand through a new proprietary advancement in tissue technology.
"Kleenex is the leading facial tissue brand because it consistently meets or exceeds consumers' needs by delivering new innovations to the marketplace," noted Kim Underhill, president of the Dallas-based company's North American Family Care Business. "Our newest facial tissue innovation combines a more soothing feeling with the strength desired by so many consumers."
The super-premium three-ply tissue employs a new proprietary surface treatment to improve softness while at the same time boosting tissue strength by 17 percent vs. K-C's previous lotion offering.
In comparative product testing, the company found that a majority of consumers preferred the enhanced Kleenex Facial Tissue with Lotion over a similar item from a major competitor.
"Up until now product changes in the category have typically improved strength at the expense of softness, and vice versa," said Underhill. "This advancement in tissue technology resolves that issue, and will be notable in the category and only offered by the Kleenex brand."
Kimberly-Clark is debuting the technology on its Kleenex brand lotion product line first, since lotion facial tissues represent the fastest-growing segment of the facial tissue category, with sales growing an average of 7 percent annually over the past three years, according to Nielsen data. The company plans to expand the new tissue technology in other Kleenex brand product lines this year.
To support the launch of the improved product, the Kleenex brand team will roll out a multimillion-dollar marketing and consumer sampling campaign that will let consumers physically feel the product's softness. The campaign will feature the largest consumer product sampling effort in the Kleenex history, with over 60 million samples to be sent out. Additionally, the campaign will encompass TV advertising, FSIs and in-store promotions.
"K-C is committed to driving sustainable growth of the Kleenex brand by launching new product and marketing innovations, and we believe the enhanced Kleenex Facial Tissue with Lotion will create customer and consumer excitement in the facial tissue category," observed Angela Fisher, Kleenex senior brand manager. "Our marketing efforts are designed to engage consumers at every touch point – in stores, in homes and in market."
The enhanced Kleenex Facial Tissue for Lotion will be widely available at retail outlets across North America beginning in October.
K-C's other brands include Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex and Depend. The company holds No. 1 or No. 2 share positions in over 80 countries.

Nick and Dean are two boys from separate sides of the tracks. These advisories find a common bond and much more together in this tale of fear, love, and hate.
Nick the rich star starting wide receiver on the schools 5A varsity football team and co-captain alongside his longtime friend Craig the all American quarterback. On the surface Nick appears to have a perfect life: money, friends, popularity, scouts coming to his games, father always at his school events, an amazing car, and girls. But with a Coach with no love lost for him, a Father pushing him past his limits, an AWOL mother and a secret; perfect is not the word he would use to describe his own life. 6'1, 180, blonde, blue, wide shoulders, handsome.
Dean a poor farm boy, from one of the poorest parts of the county. When you think of wrong side of the tracks Dean is the definition. The home he lives in is old and parts are falling apart, going upstairs is a hazard as some of the steps are worn threw. The truck he drives is from the early 90's at best and is far from being reliable; luckily he's good with his hands. With a mother who feeds her drug habit by whoring in there house and a father locked up on numerous charges including but not limited to domestic violence and child abuse; it's no wonder Dean is the schools worst bully; an antisocial tormenter. But maybe just maybe Dean, the boy made strong from hard work and hate, will turn out to be a 'diamond in the ruff'. 5'10, 190, black, green, broad shoulders, rugged.
Part 1
He snarled at me as I pushed him away from his most recent victim. I didn't know the kid, but Dean was worse than your average bully he was downright malicious. It wouldn't have been such a problem if he wasn't so smart. People often joked that he was one chemical spill away from being a super villain. Dean only picked on the kids who were just starting to come into their own; the kids who were starting to blossom and turn into someone. He seemed to hate them the most. Not the nerdy mousy kids or the pizza face band nerds, no he hated the kids that might get everything he never had
"Back off Dean! I'm warning you man!"
We live in a rural/suburban county and thus were one of only two high schools, which means a lot of students, a lot of problems, and not enough teachers or administrators to handle them all. These are the times when Dean strikes; when he can't get caught. Like I said smart. And once again here we were about to throw down.
We've fought like this before, it's the 15th time this year and I've come out on top 9 times to his 5 times. I don't know why I keep track, but fighting with Dean actually makes me feel alive. I don't know how to describe it. It's the only time I get to be…
"What's going on here?! Are you two crazy?!"
Mr. Perkins, the very extravagant and very mean art teacher. He begins to yell at us but with no punches thrown and the kid who was being bullied in the first place long gone, we were both sent on our way. The rest of the day passed by uneventfully with people talking about the almost fight between me and Dean amongst other gossip about a guy on the basketball team who had gotten 4 girls pregnant, and the drug dogs patrolling the basement west wing. I carried on my day as normal. I was sitting in 7th period AP Spanish when the office assistant came in and handed me a note. I groaned upon reading it 'Come to my office after school Mr. Smith.' Coach wanted to see me and I highly doubt it's a good thing.
I said bye to all my friends and slowly made my way down to the basement and out to the south side where the coach's offices were. I was a star running back, but despite that coach really didn't like me very much. The only reason he even let me off the bench was because I was so good at what I did and the rest of the team really liked and respected me. So he pushed down his own hatred of me in order to boost team moral. I loved football and it was evident from how much I smiled when I was wearing my pads.
When I finally make it to coach's office he doesn't look very happy to see me. For the next hour he really lays into me about the fight in the hallway. Saying that I didn't deserve any of my talent or ability, that I was spoiled, that he had half a mind to throw me off the team. He went on about how I had better pray that I don't get injured or I'm off the team and never allowed to come back. He could do without spoiled entitled brats on his team. The funny thing was that there were kids on the team wayyy richer than me. But the one time I pointed that out I ended up doing whistle sprints until I literally passed out on the field. After 35 more minutes of degrading I left his office towards my car, feeling a little worse for wear.
Part 2
I drive this way often when I need to think. It's about 10 miles between houses, the poorest part of our county. All rural struggling farms and ranches where some of the kids from our school live. As I drive I see a familiar old blue truck with the hood up. As I drove by I slowed down and saw none other than Dean leaning on his forearms, shirt open, covered in grease, looking dejected as the rain began to fall even harder. My guess was he must have been trying to get the truck to start up before it started raining and the sudden flash flood flooded out his engine and it's dead until it dried. I thought about driving on and splashing mud on him as I went, but something stopped me. I rolled down the window.
"Get in. It won't start and it's a mile to the next house."
I didn't ask him if he wanted a ride, instead I just told him what to do. I had been in school with Dean for years and I knew that he didn't take help especially when someone asked; you had to offer or demand it for it to register. Part of being a country boy I suppose. Most of us out here were the same way. He looked at me and glared, I didn't think he was going to accept the offer, but then the rain really began to come down. He slammed his hood reached in his truck for his backpack and slid into my car. We drove on in silence for a long time.
"Sorry to get your fancy car wet Prin…. –groan- Mike."
"It's alright." "Where do you live?"
"Off of route 3 turn off."
He grimaced as he said it, and turned to look out the window. I knew Dean was one of the poorer kids at school, but I never knew how poor. The old farms out off route 3 were the most run down ones; dilapidated and some even unlivable although people still lived there. We drove in silence listening to music until I reached the turn off.
"The one with the broken tractor in front of the blue house."
I drove for about 5 more miles then I saw the large run down blue house. I looked as if it had been grand once upon a time. Two stories with a wraparound porch. As we got closer we could see two cars parked in front of the house. Out of the corner of my eye I could see his hands baled into fists and shacking. An older gentleman was walking out of the house buttoning his pants, followed by a middle aged woman wearing a long dark blue silk rob. Another man stood on the porch leaning against the rail waiting. The older man fastened his belt and then handed the woman some money which she immediately turned and handed to the man on the porch and received… a baggy. Holy shit.
I'd never seen something like this before, but I wasn't dumb, I knew what was happening and as I stopped my car a good ways from the other cars I turned to look at Dean. Dean's head hung down and I thought I saw a single tear drop from his face. I can't explain it, but I just wanted to get him as far away from here as I could. I turned the car around and drove off. He looked up at me from under his hair and seeing my steely expression looked back down. I drove off as fast as I could. We drove until we reached the main road again.
"Stop the car Princeton."
His voice was cold and even, I stopped the car and pulled it over. I could tell he was barely holding it together and I'd hate for him to freak out in my car, this kid demolished a classroom once. The rain was coming down in sheets again and the clouds in the sky made the world look gray and washed out blue.
"Keep what you saw to yourself or I swear I'll beat you half to death."
He unlocked his door and got out and began walking back towards his house. I sat there stuck trying to find an excuse to get out and go after him. We weren't friends so I couldn't use that excuse, we weren't team mates, or buddies, or even lab partners. I had no reason to care about him, but I did, and realizing this hit me like a ton of bricks. Fuck. I looked down in the floor and saw his backpack was still there. An excuse!
"Hey Dean, man wait up."
I stammered incoherent nonsense as I tried to figure out what to say after wait up. As I approached him he turned to face me with a crazy look in his eyes, it actually made me take a half step back to keep a good reach length between us. All my thoughts were telling me to leave this bastard right out here.
"I'm not your charity case Princeton now gets the hell away from me!"
I was pissed. I didn't think he was my charity case… I thought something else. All I knew is that I couldn't let him go back there right now, soaking wet and obviously upset. I reached an arm out for him which was a mistake, but looking back upon it the best mistake I think I ever made. He turned and punched me and I punched him back, he tackled me to the ground and we wrestled in the mud trying to gain leverage and the upper hand. I got him pinned down as he cursed at me. I looked into his eyes; I had never done this before. His eyes were those of a boy: scared, and alone and the deepest green I'd ever seen. He threw me off of him and we both scrambled to our feet.
"You don't know me! I hate you, you have everything! Perfect life! You stuck up bastard! You don't know what it's like to have a mom strung out, your sisters all run off and your dad locked up!" This enraged me.
"Perfect?! You think you got it all figured out don't you! I hate my life! Do you know what happens to me when I'm not perfect? Huh! My dad beats me!" I lifted my shirt and under armor to show the bruises from Friday when my loving father punched me in the ribs for not being 100% focused at practice when he brought some scouts to see me. I didn't even know he brought scouts and the scouts all liked what they saw, but it wasn't good enough for my dad. "I don't want any of this!"
Now it was my turn to hang my head and cry, hands balled into fists pressed to my eyes. I had never told anybody what my dad did to me. And now here I was telling the one person who I would never want to know. I felt so vulnerable at that moment. I wasn't used to the feeling and it was more painful than any bruise. I suddenly felt arms going around my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around the strong body in front of me and laid my forehead on his shoulder. The hug felt good and genuine. I think somehow we both needed it. I don't know what came over me but I pulled out of the embrace a little and I looked at him, I had never noticed how handsome he was, I knew I had feelings when around him, but I never allowed myself to really look at his face. Strong jaw, deep green eyes and medium length black hair. I leaned forward and kissed him. His lips were so warm and a little rough. Fear gripped me and I pushed away from him. I knew now that it was over; everything I had worked for was going to crumble. I showed him weakness and that was bad but now I had showed him my true disgusting nature; a nature that I had tried to hide and for that I knew I would pay the price. I stood and looked at him fear etched on my face. He took a step towards me and I took two back. I told him to stay away from me, and then I tripped over a branch and fell back. I was dazed from hitting my head and when I looked up he was now standing over me. If he tried to beat me now I wouldn't be able to stop him I was too exhausted on multiple levels. I just waited for his malice to release itself on me…

'April Fool' Part Deux: Congressman Hank Johnson is Afraid Guam Might Capsize Due to Overpopulation
Filed Under Nat'l Security, Politics | 12 Comments
Georgia's 4th District is well-represented, provided a good person to represent the district is one with an IQ of Rahm Emanuel's belt size.
Below is Johnson acting like he smoked his lunch while questioning Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. fleet in the Pacific, who was testifying before the House Armed Services Committee. Johnson's pressing concern? That the island of Guam might become "so overly populated that it would tip over and capsize."
Willard's response was priceless, saying, "Uh, we don't anticipate that" while clearly suppressing an understandable urge to laugh in the Congressman's face. The real gold starts at about the 1:15 mark.
I once called Cynthia McKinney the dumbest politician in Georgia. I stand corrected and hereby apologize to Ms. McKinney:

This reminds me of those scenes of black people in the South Carolina legislature filmed for the FICTION movie "Birh of a Nation." Only this is real. I bet all blacks are cringing over this "representative" of their race. How did someone this stupid get elected? From the Wikipedia article on the district (sorry, no time to find a better source): "In its current form, the district is heavily African American and has strongly supported Democratic candidates." Now, he opposed another black candidate, a woman who had had a "confrontation" with a police officer. His Republican opponent,Catherine Davis, I can't find out too much about. She is black, too, so this may be a "support the Democrats" sort of thing. Here's a final quote from Hank during his campaign, "I'm a nuts-and-bolts public servant." Well, we've seen the nuts part in this clip.

From the troops that are moving there.
Japan doesn't want us, Nagasaki haunts us
And Plugs is losing his hair.
Hey Rahm E. Diddle, go fetch Nancy's fiddle
'Cause she has the urge to play.
Uncle Sam's a-burnin', but the world is still a-turnin'
And tomorrow is another day!
The time is now upon us, the pols no longer con us
And the party has just begun.
So get your tea and cozy, the future's looking rosy
Come November we can have some fun!
Yeehaw! Let's go tip some Guam!!

Dallas Teachers No Longer Have to Work That Extra 45 Minutes -- For Now
Way back in January, over the objections of just about everyone affected, the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees tacked a mandatory 45 minutes onto every teacher's workday. How the teachers used the time would be up to principals.
Not surprisingly, the decision sparked considerable resentment among teachers who felt the move, made without their input, was an assault on their professionalism and a waste of their time.
Their grievances were pretty well summed up by Hobie Hukill, a librarian at Samuell High School, who told the board, to loud applause from fellow teachers, that the policy had led to "a sorry cascade of unintended consequences that we've experienced over the last four months: Less contact with parents and students, more wasted time in meetings, childcare hardships, increased absenteeism, dismal morale, and an unprecedented number of job vacancies."
Those concerns have been addressed, at least for the rest of this school year. The board voted last night to restore teachers' seven hour, 45 minute workday. It was, in Hukill's words, "a substantive gesture of goodwill that might help reestablish positive working relationships with the teachers."

The vote was unanimous, but that's not to say that trustees, not to mention Superintendent Mike Miles, think the extra 45 minutes is such a bad idea. The proposal trustees were initially set to consider last night wouldn't have eliminated the extra time but would have effectively put the decision in Miles' hands. And Miles made it clear that he is in favor of keeping the longer workday, albeit with more flexibility.
Under his proposal, two days per week of the extra time would be dedicated to tutoring and other student-centered activity; two days would be spent at the discretion of the teacher; and only one day would be determined by the principal.
Board president Lew Blackburn supported that and chided teachers for refusing to compromise, thereby setting a bad example for students. But there was general agreement among trustees that, as Dan Micciche put it, "the 45 minutes has not been used in an effective way across the district" and, as Eric Cowan put it, there has been a clear "implementation failure." In the end, Blackburn agreed and cast his vote with the proposal introduced by Carla Ranger to eliminate the extra 45 minutes.
That's not to say that there won't be another try to extend teachers' workdays. Miles promised another push, albeit with more input and better implementation.
"We have to ... involve teachers," Miles said. "We're going to be doing that, we have been doing that, this year, and we're going to be doing that this spring."

LOS ANGELES – The Roadrunner outdoor track and field team opened the 2017 season this weekend at the Cal State LA Invitational on Saturday. CSU Bakersfield had several student-athletes post personal best marks while multiple 'Runners joined or moved up in the CSUB Top 20 all-time rankings.
"It was a very solid opener," said Marcia Mansur-Wentworth, Director of Track and Field at CSUB. "We had 17 Top 10 finishes. Susannah and Julianne led the way for the women. Both finished second in their events. Curt was second in the 800 after running in the 1500. Joselito and Justin got two Top 7 finishes each. Alec was third in the javelin and it was a great opener for the guys. Falon was also solid in the 100 and Tristan had his best 110 hurdles opener."
To open the meet on Friday, junior Micaiah Lugo placed third overall among 30 student-athletes in the discus. Lugo's best toss of 123-05 came on her third attempt of the day. Junior Susannah Vera finished second overall in the high jump with a season-best mark of 5-02.50.
Freshman Irma Torres led the CSUB distance runners in the 1500m race on Saturday. The native of Bakersfield crossed the line 46th out of 89 women with a time of 5:06.94. Fellow freshman Paradise Pelzer (5:09.22) and junior Angel Valdez (5:09.77) were close behind Torres.
Freshman Falon Wilson took her first attempt at the 100m hurdles and posted a time of 15.20 to finish eighth overall. The Bakersfield native's time ranks her 18th all-time for CSUB. Wilson went on to join the CSUB Top 20 in the 100m dash as well, posting a time of 12.32, good for fourth in Los Angeles and 18th all-time for the 'Runners. Freshman Mariah LeSure was close behind Wilson in the 100m dash at 12.69.
Freshman Nick Zandes recorded the seventh-best mark in CSUB pole vault history on Saturday. Zandes' height of 13-09.25 in Los Angeles helped the Bakersfield native finish 18th overall.
On Friday, redshirt senior Emmett Wirtz posted his best mark of the day in the hammer throw on his first attempt. The native of Ridgecrest, Calif. threw 149-09 in his first competition of the season to place fifth among 30 men. Sophomore Luis Mendez placed 20th with a mark of 121-09, just four feet short of his personal best. Wirtz went on to PR in the shot put on Saturday, posting a best throw of 44-03.25 to finish seventh.
Freshman Curt Threlkeld crossed the line 31st out of 98 men in the 1500m race with a time of 4:11.58. The Bakersfield native also finished second overall among 67 student-athletes in the 800m. His time of 1:57.53 is just over two seconds outside of CSUB's Top 5 all-time list in just his first collegiate attempt.
In the 400m hurdles, sophomore Gabe Gaeta placed seventh with a new personal best time of 55.23. Gaeta remains ranked 20th all-time for the 'Runners in the event.
Three 'Runners finished in the Top 15 in the 110m hurdles on Saturday with Tristan Watson leading the way. The junior placed fifth with a time of 14.98, just over a tenth of a second off of his personal best. Freshman Nick Zandes (16.13) and redshirt junior Dayan Oduma (16.19) finished 13th and 14th, respectively. Watson also posted a new PR in the 200m dash (22.73) to finish 26th.
CSUB's high jump trio of Joselito Flores, Justin McKinley, and Tim Van Horn all went over six feet in their season opener. Flores' 6-05.50 led the 'Runners as the junior finished in third place.
Complete results from Saturday's meet will be linked to in this story when they are made available.
The Roadrunners will have next weekend off before returning to track and field action. On Saturday, Mar. 18, CSU Bakersfield will head to the Northridge Invitational hosted by CSUN.

Charnwood Forest Living Landscape Project
Charnwood Forest Living Landscape, situated to the south of Loughborough, covers 16,000 hectares. Strikingly different to anywhere else in the East Midlands, the Charnwood Forest is defined by craggy hilltops, dry stone walls, fast flowing streams, ancient woodlands and open views.
The most important area for wildlife in Leicestershire, Charnwood Forest contains a high concentration of Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Local Wildlife Sites, but these places have become increasingly isolated by activities such as hedge removal, ploughing of grasslands, development and road building - the M1 motorway effectively splits the area in two.
View Charnwood Forest Living Landscape map
The Charnwood Forest Living Landscape Project aims to conserve and enhance the unique wildlife, geology and character of Charnwood Forest.
The project will work alongside farmers, landowners, businesses and local communities to:
- Protect and enhance the best sites for wildlife
- Create new habitats and reconnect fragmented areas
- Maintain important geological features
- Allow space for natural processes to operate
- Encourage less intensive land use and management
- Support a sustainable local economy
- Promote greater recognition, understanding and enjoyment of Charnwood Forest's natural assets
What can the project offer?
- Free wildlife surveys and advice on positive and practical management
- Input to grant applications, such as Environmental Stewardship
- A Small Grant Scheme for habitat management work, click for information
- Guidance on other sources of funding
- Support for tourism businesses with wildlife related activities, such as farm trails
- Free talks to local groups and organisations

There are three trim levels of the 2015 Land Rover LR4 offered: base, HSE, and HSE LUX. Among them, you get the same 340-hp supercharged V-6, eight-speed automatic transmission, and air suspension, along with full-time four-wheel drive.
The LR4 lineup has a price that starts around the $50k mark, it's not surprising that you get quite a few luxury and convenience features, even if you don't check a lot of option boxes. Whether or not to go with the seven-passenger layout (a $1,250 option) is probably one of the first decisions you should make.
Dual-zone climate control, an awesome 11-speaker Meridian audio system, power accessories, front and rear parking sensors, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and leather upholstery are all standard.
Opt for the HSE model and you can add navigation with traffic alerts, park distance control, an 825-Watt audio upgrade, a heated steering wheel, and heated side mirrors. With the HSE Lux you get even more luxury with a center console cooler box, interior mood lighting, and access to the (optional) Extended Leather Package, which includes premium soft Windsor leather with twin-stitch detailing to the top of the dashboard and doors, armrest, instrument cluster, and grab handles.
On the options list for the LR4 are satellite radio; a cooler box; and adaptive headlights. There's also a safety package that bundles HID headlamps, adaptive front lighting, automatic high-beam assist, an upgraded surround camera system, power-folding mirrors, and Trailer Assist and Trailer Hitch Assist. It's offered only on the HSE and LUX models, though.
New to the LR4 lineup for 2015 is a suite of InControl Apps, with Internet radio, location services, media streaming, and satellite navigation all available through special smartphone-based apps. These apps are offered either through the Apple App Store or via Google Play (Android marketplace); it's simply a matter of having them installed and connecting via USB. Examples include iHeartRadio for Auto, Stitcher, Glympse, Sygic, Parkopedia, Hotelseeker, Cityseeker, and Eventseeker.

The European Commission is likely this week to propose extending border controls within Europe's border-free Schengen area for six more months, a spokeswoman said Monday, citing persistent deficiencies in Greece's ability to manage its frontiers.
"There are still some deficiencies which need to be remedied," commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said Monday, calling on Athens to tackle these issues "so that we can progressively phase out border controls until November."
One of Europe's most-cherished achievements, Schengen usually is the epitome of free movement, with 26 countries allowing free travel across their bloc without the need for passports or border checks.
But several Schengen nations have reintroduced internal border controls to stem migration flows, after the arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers overwhelmed their systems.
The uncontrolled flows were largely blamed on Greece, which was accused of letting migrants pass through unchecked until countries further north shut down their borders.
Unannounced EU inspections in November found "serious deficiencies" in Greece, whose border with Turkey is an external Schengen frontier.
The EU has given Athens until May 12 to fix the problems. The commission has said that it is otherwise ready to propose that intra-Schengen border controls be allowed to continue for up to two years.
The EU's executive is due to give its latest formal assessment of the situation on Wednesday. Germany and five other countries have asked for the border controls to continue for six more months, government sources in Berlin said at the weekend.
One of those countries, Denmark, announced Monday that the temporary checks along its border with Germany would be extended until June 2.
Danish police began to conduct spot checks at some of the country's 15 border crossings to Germany in January. The government believes that the measures have had a "preventive effect," said Inger Stojberg, minister for immigration and integration.
Stojberg said there was no sign of any build-up of illegal immigrants in the country, but noted that the number of asylum seekers in Europe is "historically high."
She added in a letter to the commission that, according to the EU's border agency Frontex, there was still "ongoing pressure on Europe's external borders."
Denmark estimated that about 630,000 people were subjected to spot checks between January 4 and April 24, resulting in 1,133 people being denied entry from Germany, while 136 people were charged with suspected people trafficking, she said.
The Scandinavian country registered almost 3,300 asylum bids between January 4 and April 24.
Last week, Copenhagen said it planned to deploy 125 members of the Home Guard to help with the spot checks, a measure aimed at easing pressure on police and allowing officers freed up by the move to return to other duties.

A man is tried notwithstanding the occasions of this world through his states of mind, good values and expectations, and it is unquestionably insufficient for him just to state, "I trust." Faith must show itself in conduct. That is on the grounds that everything, open or mystery, will be uncovered on the Day of Judgment, and a most itemized record will be given. Individuals won't be wronged in that record, not in any case "… by to such an extent as the littlest spot" (Surat a Nisa', 49).
The individuals who have done great deeds will be invited to the endless house Paradise with unending wonders, though the individuals who have followed in the way of evil and pitilessness will discover their reward in the unceasing enduring of Hell. That is on account of Allah has made this short life to recognize the great and noble from others by testing them.
There is an approach to clear up our comprehension of the contention in the Middle East and the polarization of Islamic individuals with Israel. It requires that we take a more extended perspective of the occasions that have produced the contention and the interests that fuel it today. This is not a worthless work out. It prompts to the acknowledgment that the contention can be settled and that the determination might convey awesome advantage to all the world.
Give us then, a chance to start toward the start.Germany was crushed in the First World War. Its urban communities were assaulted. Its territories were harmed. Its kin were debilitated, depleted and devastated.

|This is an opinion article from a user of WikiChristian.
By Graham Grove, May 2008 (prepared as a practice theology exam answer asking about righteousness in Romans)
The word dikaisune (righteousness - δικαιοσυνη) is used many times in the letter of Romans. It is one of the key words of the letter. It is used 8 times in the phrase dikaiosune theou (righteousness of God). Paul only uses this exact phrase once in his other writings (in 2 Corinthians) and in Romans he uses it in passages that are generally considered key passage within the letter. The word righteousness is related to other words with the same root dik-. These words include righteous or just (dikaios) and the verb to justify (dikaioo). These 3 words occur over 50 times in Romans.
Righteousness in Romans is sometimes described as a quality that God reckons (logizomai) to a person. This concept is particularly prominent in chapter 4 wher God credits Abraham as righteous (4:3). In this sense it isn't a quality that Paul tends to talk about as being intrinsic to a person apart from God.
Furthermore as a quality reckoned by God, it is something that Paul talks about as a gift (dorea), and not something that is earned. Given that Paul describes in chapter 3:23 how all sinned he thus explains that there is not one who is righteous and no one can boast to have earned righteousness. In this sense he explains that righteousness is a gift from God in 3:24 and 5:17.
This righteousness, Paul explains in Romans, is via faith (pisteos) as the instrument. Abraham's righteousness in chatper 4 was credited to him because he believed God. Paul explains in chapters 3 and 4 that faith is required to receive this righteousness. For example, Romans 3:25 and 4:9 state that righteousness is by faith. 1:17 states the huge importance of this faith. This is often contrasted to the futile attempt to attain righteousness through the law (4:11)
Paul uses the word righteousness in a number of ways. Although none are righteous, we are reckoned as righteous as a gift from God through faith. Furthermore Paul exhorts believers to live in obedience that leads to righteousness in chapter 6, showing a link between obedience and righteousness. Thus being declared righteous as a gift through faith does not excuse the believer from obedience, rather Paul teaches obedience to be a characteristic of believers (6:16)
Righteouesness of God
The righteousness of God (dikaiosune tou theou) is a more specific phrase that occurs 8 times in Romans, occurring at key passages in the book. When using this term, Paul was likely drawing from Old Testament images of the righteousness of God. In the LXX the phrase dikaiosune theou is used especially in the prophets and Psalms. It is used in a number of ways. The most frequent way it is used is to describe God's saving action of his covenant people Israel. At other times it is used to describe the inherent qualities of God of both justice and faithfulness. It is also sometimes used to describe the righteous status of God being declared on his people. In Romans there is some debate about how Paul is using the term, and all 3 uses are proposed by various scholars. Many understand Paul to be using the term in 2 or 3 ways simultaneously.
The term may be understand in the simple possessive genitive sense to mean the righteousness that belongs to God. This has been especially a common view through Church history with Augustine and others taking this as their view. This has often been taken in the judgemental sense of God's right justice; this was the common understanding in the early church and this reflects Hellenestic ideas. More recently though it has increasingly been understood in terms of God's faithfulness, which reflects Old Testament ideas. For example, Romans 3:5 is often understood in this way.
The term also can be understood in the subjective genitive sense to mean the saving activity of God. This is the predominant use of the term in the LXX and so is a reasonable way to understand the phrase in Romans. Certainly Romans 1:17 (one of the key verses in the book) is often cited as a example of this understanding of God's saving intervention in the Gospel which is the fulfillment of Old Testament covenantal promises. It conveys a more relational understanding of righteousness of God than the judicial sense described below. In relational terms then the saving activity of God brings the faithful into a right relationship with him.
The objective genitive sense is a further way to understand the meaning of the righteousness of God. This is the traditional Protestant forensic view where the righteousness of God refers to the status of righteousness being declared or conferred upon the faithful. Romans 3:21-22 is sometimes seen in this way.
Righteousnes and the righteousness of God are important themes in the book of Romans....

Nobel in Literature Due Thursday
By Susanna Loof
Associated Press Writer
Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1999; 11:50 a.m. EDT STOCKHOLM, Sweden This year's Nobel Prize in literature will be announced Thursday, weeks earlier than most years, and only the Swedish Academy knows which world author will be crowned.
Americans John Updike, Thomas Pynchon, Philip Roth, and Joyce Carol Oates as well as Mario Vargas Llosa of Peru, Mexico's Carlos Fuentes, Guenter Grass of Germany and Belgian Hugo Claus, have all been mentioned as possible winners.
The academy revealed the announcement date on Tuesday. Custom dictates that the prize date be announced just days in advance. In a break from tradition, the newest Nobel laureate will be named on the last day of September. Usually, the literature award is announced on a Thursday in October.
Some are looking to the slightly earlier-than-usual announcement as a possible clue to the recipient.
"It can mean that it was an easy choice, in which case it's a storyteller," said Thomas Steinfeld of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's literary section. "And after all the Europeans the past years, I think it will be an American."
Steinfeld said he's rooting for Updike, whose four books about ex-basketball player Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom chronicle American life of the past half-century.
New York author Cynthia Ozick, who as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters has the right to suggest recipients, said either Pynchon or Roth would be a worthy recipient.
"They are astonishments of the kind that don't come in every generation," she said.
Then there's Salman Rushdie, the Booker Prize winner who lived under a death threat after his book "The Satanic Verses" was accused of blaspheming Islam. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued the fatwa, or religious edict, on Rushdie in 1989. The threat is now at least partly lifted.
"The Swedish Academy has something to repair there," Steinfeld said.
Secrecy has surrounded this year's selection, just as it has since the academy began making its choices in 1901. The awards are funded by a trust set up in the will of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.
The academy, founded in 1786, has 18 members, though one chair is vacant and three members don't participate. Academy members, former recipients and a select group of literature and language professors and specialists in the field may suggest candidates.
Nobel Prize winners receive their prizes, this year worth $960,000, on Dec. 10.
Jose Saramago of Portugal won last year's Nobel Prize in literature.

How CPAs Can Let Go of Clients
Five tips on releasing inappropriate or otherwise unprofitable clients.
September 10, 2007
by Patricia Abram
As a CPA who wants to build a successful business, you must commit to being successful on purpose. Find the time to think about your practice as a business, including rigorously evaluating where you are now, where you want to go, and how to close the gap between where you are and where you'd really like to be.
Unfortunately, most CPAs have many inappropriate clients on their books. These clients are inactive, unprofitable or problematic (troublesome, quarrelsome, divisive, disproportionately time consuming). Releasing these clients will free you to work with clients who are profitable and enjoyable, who better fit your ideal client profile and who are inherently a pleasure to work with.
To release inappropriate clients successfully, focus on your process. You must first acknowledge that you have such clients; then identify who they are; then consider the various methods for releasing them; and then do what it takes to make one of the recommended methods work.
Methods for Releasing Inappropriate Clients
The table below shows five methods for releasing inappropriate clients. One method, while quite common, is simply not a good idea. Two methods are occasionally workable, but tend to have more downsides than upsides. One method is clearly the best option, and one method should only be used as a last resort.
Five Methods for Releasing Inappropriate Clients
The Upshot
"Quiet-file" the clients
Quick, easy, immediate, and inexpensive; needs no client buy-in
Problem clients rarely "fade away;"
Most advisors default to this, but this is not the recommended course of action
Hire a junior advisor within your office to service the clients
Relatively easy to get client buy-in; advisor retains revenue stream and ultimate relationship
Must train, supervise, and pay salary of new advisor; doesn't fundamentally
Not a silver bullet since doesn't address clients' fundamental inappropriateness
Transfer the clients to an advisor in your office
Favored by branch managers; advisor
Again, doesn't address clients' inappropriate nature; clients may demand original advisor's attention
Branch managers are often eager to help facilitate this
Sell "bundled" clients to advisor in
Truly addresses inappropriate clients; advisor receives immediate and perhaps earn-out revenue
Takes time and focus to value clients, negotiate a deal, and assist in transfer process
Best possible option; consulting firms available to facilitate
Directly, formally, and carefully fire clients
Avoids potential compliance and legal issues; gets rid of problem clients
Requires thoughtful and delicate handling; legal and compliance issues must be thoroughly addressed
A last resort for problem clients who refuse to be transferred or sold
(Source: CEG Worldwide LLC)
A Common Poor Choice
Unfortunately, most CPAs default to a method that I cannot recommend. These CPAs "quiet-file" their inappropriate clients, sometimes actually moving files to a different physical or digital folder. They hope that by stopping all communications, the clients will fade away over time. But there are three problems here.
First, ignoring an unprofitable client doesn't make that client profitable. Second, if the client is divisive, quarrelsome, a time-and-services hog or otherwise problematic (for you or your staff), that client will not just fade away, but will probably return time and again to demand your attention. Third, ignoring clients can put you at compliance and legal risk. A case can always be made that "quiet-filing" is equivalent to willfully ignoring your clients' portfolios, life changes and perhaps suitability, allowing them to languish and deteriorate. If you have a PFP or similar designation suggesting ongoing responsibility or an enhanced fiduciary duty, be even more careful here.
Intra-Office Servicing
The second and third methods both rely on another advisor in your office servicing your inappropriate clients. One way to do this is to hire a junior advisor. You explain to the clients that you have brought on this person to better assist them, but you retain ultimate control over the client relationship and the revenue stream.
There are several downsides here. First, you must find, hire, train, supervise and pay the junior advisor. Second, and more importantly, nothing fundamental changes in the client relationship with your firm. While you personally will deal with the clients less, he or she is still inappropriate for your business. Since such clients will still often want your personal attention, all you've really done is make a bad situation more complex.
Alternatively, you can transfer the clients to another advisor in your office. Through an upfront purchase, revenue sharing, and/or an earn-out agreement, you can retain some of the revenue associated with these clients; but again, if they were unprofitable or difficult for you to handle, why would that change for the advisor to whom they were transferred? Moreover, even after you transfer such clients, the problematic ones will still often want your time and attention. The one advantage here is it can build political capital, since branch managers are often eager to facilitate this kind of arrangement rather than see the assets go out the door.
Bundle and Sell
The best method is to package up and sell your inappropriate clients to another accountant outside of your office. For example, suppose you have 50 clients who total $3 million under management, or an average of $60,000 each. While these clients may be inappropriate for you, there may be another advisor at another firm more than willing to take them on (along with their assets). Such sales are becoming increasingly common, and a growing number of consulting firms specialize in facilitating these kinds of transactions. An earn-out will often be part of the deal. You might receive a certain percentage of the previous year's revenue associated with the sold clients, plus an amount equal to that over the next one to two years. While this strategy works best for those advisors in the independent channel, it can also work in the wire-house and regional channel with the approval and support of your branch manager.
The downside here is that it takes time and energy to value your clients and then find an outside advisor who you feel good about and who is willing to pay a fair price. The upside is that this method truly takes your inappropriate clients off your plate, and should put them in the hands of an advisor who is better able to service them. As with intra-office transfers or sales, it's important that the transaction be well-timed, that the clients are informed about what's going on, that all necessary compliance issues are preemptively and thoroughly addressed and that you continue to provide excellent service to the clients up until the very end.
In certain situations — when none of the other methods are workable, when a client refuses to be transferred or sold, or when a client is outright abusive — it may be necessary to formally fire a client. This last resort should take place in careful coordination with compliance and legal review. Mechanically, a registered letter can be sent informing the client that you can no longer serve as his or her financial advisor. The letter should briefly describe why you are terminating the relationship and urge the client to immediately transfer all affected assets to another CPA or financial advisor. With any luck, you will be able to transfer or sell all of your inappropriate and problematic clients before it gets to this point.

- Malcolm Turnbull defeats Tony Abbott to become PM
- Julie Bishop, the eternal deputy becomes kingmaker
- The ties that blind: Abbott never cut it as a unifying national leader
Long-running renovations and poor opinion polls have denied Tony Abbott the chance to ever live at the prime minister's official Canberra residence.
After losing Monday's challenge by Malcolm Turnbull, Mr Abbott is the first prime minister since Labor's James Scullin never to use The Lodge. Interior works as part of $8.8 million renovations were completed in August but Mr Abbott's office consistently refused to say when he would move in.
Commissioned under the former Labor government, the renovations were originally expected to take just 18 months and cost $3.19 million. The original completion date of April 2014 long since passed, Mr Abbott has opted to stay in a $110-a-night room at the Australian Federal Police College in Barton while in Canberra.
He shunned a $3000-a-week home in nearby Forrest, rented by public servants during the pre-election caretaker period in 2013. The house cost $120,000 in rent and lease termination fees.
In Sydney, Mr Abbott and his family use his Sydney residence, Kirribilli House.
Renovations at the Georgian revival-style Canberra home originally included asbestos removal, replacement of the slate roof, heating and cooling system upgrades, new lights and wiring, painting, a new kitchen, bathroom improvements and health and safety upgrades.
The scope of renovations was expanded to include upgraded security systems, improvements to living areas and bathrooms and work on rundown Australian Federal Police guard houses. Additions included a specialised "luggage lift", soft furnishings and new balustrades.
Work has been continuing in the property's grounds, including construction of new outside toilet facilities and a new shed for the property's gardeners. Mr Abbott's office and the Department of Finance have denied cost blow-outs or delays to the project.
The Lodge has been anything but universally liked since Stanley Melbourne Bruce and his wife Ethel Bruce moved into the new 40-room home in May 1927.
James Scullin, who became prime minister days before the start of the Great Depression two years later, refused to live at The Lodge because he considered the government had been guilty of "gross extravagance" in spending £28,000 to build a new residence in the fledgling national capital.
Deriding the house and expensive handmade furnishings as a "wicked waste of money", Mr Scullin and his wife Sarah Scullin instead chose to live in a modest suite at the Hotel Canberra. There the couple mixed with senior public servants and visitors as "ordinary guests", but ate behind a high screen erected to give them privacy in the dining room.
Ben Chifley famously hated The Lodge, staying instead in a small room in the Hotel Kurrajong while in Canberra and using the residence only for his family and distinguished guests. Elizabeth Chifley liked the home but Mr Chifley died at the Kurrajong in June 1951.
Robert Menzies lived at The Lodge for 18 years. During his tenure as prime minister, John Howard used Kirribilli House as his primary residence and The Lodge only for official functions. Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard are among 15 prime ministers to live at The Lodge while in office.
Originally known as the Prime Minister's Cottage, the heritage-listed property was built by James Taylor, of Sydney. Cabinet required the interior decoration and furniture used quality Australian materials and the "best British manufacturers".
The Abbott government has sought to avoid information about the refurbishment being made public, including blocking access to the media. In May 2014, it was revealed a senior bureaucrat said the Prime Minister's office could be concerned about privacy or a poor reaction to the information being made public.

AVery excited. I'm almost done with putting in a commercial kitchen in my home. I have a question to ask. My house is some what rural and my husband doesn't want people picking up cakes at the house. I think it will be too hard for people to find and they won't want to go that far anyway. I'm struggling to figure out a neutral place to meet people. I'm going to use a cafe in a grocery store for consults but I doubt I can walk into a grocery store with a cake and stand there waiting for someone. A parking lot seems weird and doesn't seem good when the weather is hot. What have others done in this situation? I'm trying to think of someone I know that owns a business and drawing a blank. Should I just go into places and ask? Any help would be appreciated. Michele
Congratulations on your new kitchen! Meet in a coffeeshop or eatery similar to Starbucks or Panera. No one will care if you are holding a cake box. Or a bookstore that has seating. A library or community center, or a large lobby in a commercial office building. Anyplace where people can stand around and not appear out-of-place.

A £5bn, 30 million sq ft waterfront development
Following an invitation from the Qatari Government, landscape consultancy Alshami Terra Firma (Dubai) approached Stride Treglown in June 2011 to coordinate the preparation of two masterplan concepts for a 5km stretch of waterfront in Al Wakrah, a host city for the World Cup 2022 located south of Doha International Airport in Qatar. The masterplan objectives included the provision of Government buildings, residential, hotel, leisure and recreation uses, traditional boat building and water sports activities. The competition entry required us to manage the inputs of geo-environmental engineers, commercial property, transport, cost and CGI consultants, as well as our client's landscape architecture involvement.
Our initial site analysis report led to the preparation of both contemporary and traditional concept options: the difference being the style of buildings and the scale of intervention required. Approximately 30,000,000 sqft of development was proposed, together with extensive earth and dredging works and uses ranging from new marinas, a championship golf course, hotels and holiday islands to complement a range of water activities. Cost estimates place the development in the order of £5bn.

im guessing your selling stuff?
i had a job selling solar panels that was 50% commission and 50% salary. if you suck at the job, you make crap money. on the other hand, if you can shift the goods your earnings are usually uncapped, which means there is no limit to how much you can earn.
dont be fooled though, a commission only job will probably suck. just out of interest, what is it you're selling?00|00|0
