Elizabethan manor house enveloped by Sussex woodland
the wonderful food and beautiful gardens that make this classic country house a perfect retreat.
In the quaint English village of West Hoathly on Vowels Lane,
Gravetye Manor conjures a barrage of "ooo"s and Harry Potter-esque
imagery. Home to the late William Robinson (father of the English
flower garden), his world-famous horticultural work draws attention
to exquisite blooms, colours and textures. Book a garden-view room
to gaze upon the carefully crafted designs and take time to notice
the classical furnishings and floral influences. You'll feel as
fresh as a daisy as you awake from a satisfying slumber in these
panelled dens of relaxation. Feel all Elizabeth Bennet with walks
in the garden, reading by the fire and afternoon tea in the Sitting
Room; simple, quintessential English living. More into croquet than
crochet? Speak to the Gravetye staff if you need something a little
more exciting. Deer stalking and riding the Bluebell Railway come
highly recommended. The team can also arrange tickets to the widely
acclaimed Glyndebourne music events. Gravetye Manor in West Sussex
was originally built for a bride and like the best honeymoon
destinations, it provides a great beginning to a happy ever

Riding Merck: The Conservative Aggressive Pharmaceutical Stock Of The Year
Pharma Doc • Tue, Sep. 9 • 5 Comments
- Merck is up 22% YTD with further upside to go.
- Merck is conservative because it's a blue chip that pays an annual dividend of 3.1% and has a diversified portfolio.
- Merck is an aggressive play with 20%-30% upside based on its potential for an all-oral Hepatitis C combo regimen and its new immuno-oncology drug, Keytruda.

The beat writers and sports guys like me who cover the Packers every day are always chatting between periods of practice and just yesterday at camp, one topic of conversation was the big difference in the number on injured players from last year. It seemed at times there were more players in sweats than pads on Ray Nitschke Field in the summer of 2014. Not so this year where only a couple of guys have yet to hit the field, Jerel Worthy and Letroy Guion.
Maybe we spoke too soon because the team suffered it's second season ending ACL injury in the past five days. During a team blitz drill, offensive tackle Don Barclay got jammed up by Adrian Hubbard on a bull rush. Mike McCarthy was standing right behind the play and said after practice Barclay found himself in a compromised position. The knee gave way and he went down. After several minutes, he was carted off the field. McCarthy confirmed a knee injury but Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press Gazette reported late this afternoon that it was indeed an ACL tear and Barclay is likely lost for the year. He stepped into the right tackle spot a year ago, almost to the day, when Byran Bulaga blew out his knee in the 2014 Family Night scrimmage. In the past couple of seasons, Barclay has played almost every position on the line. He is without question the number one backup across the board and aside from T.J. Lang, may be the most versatile lineman on the roster. It's a big loss.
Hopefully, the front five can stay intact but if not, the depth is suddenly untested. There's Lane Taylor inside, he made the team as perhaps the last of the linemen a year ago. At swing tackle, former number one pick Derek Sherrod must step up. A couple years removed from his gruesome broken leg, Sherrod looks to be regaining NFL form. That will have to be accelerated through the end of August. McCarthy seems confident Sherrod can handle both left and right tackle if needed.
Spoke with Jared Abbrederis today, four days after he tore his ACL. The injury happened at practice Thursday and the former Wisconsin Badger confirmed the tear just before the Family Night workout. He's still wearing just a rubber sleeve until the surgery is scheduled either later this week or next. Abbrederis is even on the practice field, playing catch and watching his receiver mates run plays. Jared is frustrated his rookie season never got started but will now focus on the rehabilitation process.
Some more medical news, Burnett sat out today after suffering an oblique strain Monday night. It's not expected to keep him down long. Tight Colt Lyerla suffered a leg injury on Family Night and McCarthy said after practice Monday it may be weeks before he's able to come back. Michael Hill (concussion) and Tanner Miller are still out.

Exhibition Hall, Hong Kong Film Archive
By the end of the 19th century, imagination and memory of this fishing port had been lighting up the big screen. A wealth of film images from different eras, Hong Kong cinema offers a journey through time to revisit the geography, politics, social life and culture of the city.
The exhibition
The Wheel of Time: 100 Years of Light and Shadow
is a passage illuminated with sight and sound. It recounts the development of Hong Kong cinema in six zones, each of which corresponds to some of the many significant social changes the city underwent in the past century. A voyage across the artistic representations of the social and cityscape provides some of the best reflections on how the Asian metropolis came to life.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue workers worked a four-alarm fire Monday evening that damaged multiple units at a storage facility in Miami Gardens.
The fire began at about 6 p.m. when workers responded to the blaze at Public Storage, 3505 NW 167th St.
Workers battled the flames for almost two hours before the fire was deemed under control, said spokesman Arnold Piedrahita.
As many as 36 Miami-Dade units plus four units from Hialeah Fire Rescue responded to the scene and began opening the storage units to check for additional damage, Piedrahita said.
Once the fire was under control, authorities used a bulldozer to clear debris that may have still been on fire as a precaution.
No injuries were reported, Miami-Dade Fire investigators were working to determine the cause of the fire.

District approves higher rates
The Birch Bay Water and Sewer (BBWS) District has raised rates on its service by 3.5 percent. Commissioners voted 3-0 to hike the rate at their meeting May 24. An average household, using 90,000 cubic feet of water every other month, would pay an additional $2.23 for water and sewer.
Commissioner Pat Alesse said the rate increase is necessary to stave off rising costs and a larger increase down the line. Through the normal course of events we would have had to increase the rates a lot more next year, Alesse said. He said this is actually the least expensive option for taxpayers. If you dont cover your costs you wind up in trouble everyone pays twice by having bad service and having to pay more for it later.
The rate hike will pay for increasing expenses in areas such as energy and labor costs. For instance, the district expects to pay $24,000 to run energy-intensive equipment such as pumps and the districts new ultraviolet (UV) disinfectant system. The utility has UV units that kill off fecal coliform bacteria in the waste water discharged from the sewer plant. At the time the
life-cycle cost analysis was done I dont think we saw this kind of electricity cost increase coming, general manager Roger Brown said. Its good technology, were happy with it. Its performing well but its using more electricity. The more environmentally friendly UV treatment process is replacing the chlorine treatment the district used previously.
The district is also hiring another worker. Brown says even with the imminent hiring, the district , which now serves 6000 homes, is down one employee from 1998 despite the addition of more than 200 customers. Also on the horizon is $30,000 in expected costs for raises for existing employees, property assessments, billing costs, permits and taxes.
The new rate will generate an additional $69,000 for the district this year.

Some people have to work in the cold, but many metro commuters wound up stuck on their way in to work on Tuesday morning.
Metro Transit handed out vouchers at the Target Field platform on Tuesday night to apologize after the second morning train broke down at Elk River and delayed the three trains behind it as well.
The train that broke arrived very late -- and very cold.
"It's a good 20 minutes from there to Elk River, where we suddenly started slowing down, came to a dead stop," said Mike Barrett, who had just begun his Northstar commute to Minneapolis from Big Lake when the train lost power.
The train then sat still for nearly 90 minutes without power or heat.
"We almost started seeing our breath towards the end," Barrett recalled.
Most riders dress for heated quarters, and Barrett said at least one passenger did not have a jacket and was wearing only a short-sleeved shirt.
Eventually, the train made it to Minneapolis at 8 a.m. after being pushed by the train behind it.
Mechanics have since repaired the broken train, and they say the malfunction didn't appear to be caused by the cold temperatures.

Facilities & amenities were all that was promised.Posted Jul 30, 2014
Pros: The all inclusive spa treatments.
Cons: Cannot really think of anything.
Location: Facility is on the northern tip of the island and as a whole secluded...which we liked.
The dining and choices were much better than my spouse and I anticipated. The staff was very friendly....everyone. Facility was very clean and pristine. The spa treatments were very professional and as a whole exceptional. No complaints whatsoever. Highly recommend to anyone.

Fabulous All InclusivePosted Jul 29, 2014
Pros: The fact everything is included, and one never felt that the "good stuff" required additional payment.
Cons: The wi fi is slow. The portions when one orders off the menu could be larger. The name should be changed!
Location: We never left the resort, as everything we wanted is there. One down side is it is at least an hour and a half drive from the main airport.
This is a wonderful resort, where nearly everything one could want is available. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained. There are dining options for most meals and the food is uniformly delicious. They graciously accommodate any dietary request. Liquor is included, and one need only raise a flag while sitting on the beach in order to be served. The exercise classes and sports are first rate, as are all instructors. The daily spa treatments, which are part of the package, are relaxing and professional. We took classes ranging from zumba to pilates to yoga, worked out in the well equipped gym, water skiied, wind surfed, bicycled, snorkeled and relaxed. The staff is friendly and helpful. A perfect get-away. Most guests were British, and the place has a UK feel, including afternoon tea. A nice change from most resorts on St. Lucia that are populated with only Americans.

So much to doPosted Jun 25, 2014

BrilliantPosted May 13, 2014 on Hotels.com
The staff here are all super friendly. The food is excellent with a huge choice. The inclusive spa treatments are bliss. There is so much to do, from archery to scuba diving, cycling and yoga etc the list is endless. The room was a good size and the bed was very comfy. I loved the pot of herbal tea that was delivered to our room every night. Can wait for next year.

A week of paradisePosted May 7, 2014
I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing experience in the sunshine. The food, rooms, facilities and massage treatments (included) were all incredible.

The place to stay in St. LuciaPosted Mar 4, 2014
Cons: Remember this is the Caribbean, so standards are less. Our room had plumbing issues. Both sinks leaked under the vanity, as well as the shower
Location: The resort is tucked into a cove on the Northern end of the island. It is 1 1/2 hours from the airport, but the view and beach are worth it.
There was our second trip The Body Holiday. We returned because of the location, facility, and most importantly, the staff. Every staff member has a smile on their face, stops to talk to you, and is genuinely interested in learning about your time at the resort. There is something for everybody at The Body Holiday. You can learn to sail, scuba, water ski, play golf, take exercise classes, or just spend the day on the beautiful beach, making sure the ocean doesn't go anywhere. Included in your stay, is a daily spa treatment. That spa treatment can be a massage, facial, or body wrap. Some American men may be rolling there eyes, but don't knock any of it until you have tried it. Most of the clientele is European, mainly British. This is a real plus, because you get the opportunity to meet different and interesting people. The dining tends to run on a European schedule. Lunch doesn't start till 12:30pm, and can be as heavy or light as one desires. Dinner isn't until 7:30, but is one of the highlights of the day. You can eat in the Caribleu dining area ( an open air restaurant), Tao (an exquisite high end, not to be missed meal) or the more informal Beach Grill. This resort is for adults. They recommend nobody under the age of 16. This is not because of any craziness, they simply do not cater in any way to children. There are no kids menus or activities.

Active vacationPosted Jan 13, 2014
Pros: The activities and all inclusive activities and food and drink. Friendly, pleasant staff.
Cons: More info about how to navigate activities, food, drinks.
Location: We stayed on resort. Did run and bike in area, and to nearby fort. Pretty but narrow dangerous roads without a shoulder.
Two families with teen and young adult children spent several days there for a perfect vacation. The kids tried the scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, catamarans, waterskiing, samba dancing, and massage treatments. And they ate and drank a lot. The adults did some of the above, with more spa treatments, some yoga, and less eating and drinking. It was very easy to do anything anyone wanted to try. Our kids would've like a livelier night scene, it is mostly middle aged and older couples, but we parents were happy to keep them more focused on all of the activities offered during the day.

After many rumors and much speculation, Britney Spears has officially confirmed that the title of her new single is "Work B***h," and has announced via Twitter that it'll make its radio debut September 16 at 6 p.m.
The single will go on sale at iTunes one minute after midnight, September 17. That same morning, Brit will make an appearance on ABC's Good Morning America for a big announcement. The countdown clock that was launched on her website last month will hit zero on that very day, and rumor has it that the announcement could concern her upcoming Las Vegas residency, which has never actually been confirmed.
"Work B***h" is rumored to contain a sample of " Supermodel (You Better Work) ," a single by singer and drag queen RuPaul. Britney has been tweeting about spending three "EPIC" days filming the video for the song in some unnamed desert location. She wrote , "Gonna get my tan on in the desert in between shots...It's HOT out here people!!" A still image from the video that she posted shows her all glammed out , dancing in a sexy yellow and black corset.

(via HuffPost)
1. "The Constitution says nothing about a right to same-sex marriage and therefore does not protect it."
This argument misconceives the character of the Constitution, which establishes abstract principles like equal protection that do not enumerate the specific rights they protect. The Constitution "says nothing about" a right to interracial marriage, yet the Supreme Court properly interpreted equal protection and basic liberty to condemn laws denying that right, holding that the right to marry is "essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men." Those same principles require extending the rights, responsibilities and protections of marriage afforded to opposite-sex couples to same-sex couples. The Constitution does not leave the legal definition of marriage entirely to the democratic processes.
2. "Recognizing a right to same-sex marriage will spell (as Scalia warned) the 'end of morals legislation' and put us on a slippery slope toward protecting a right to bestiality and incest."
Lawrence's recognition of a right to same-sex intimate association does not stem from rejecting traditional morals legislation as such, nor from accepting an "anything goes" right to choose one's sexual partner. The same is true of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's recognition of a right to same-sex marriage in the Goodridge decision. Instead, those courts extended rights already recognized for opposite-sex couples to their analogues for same-sex couples. They recognized that gays and lesbians seek rights to pursue the same moral goods that straights do: "commitment, mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family," as Goodridge put it.
3. "Courts have foisted the right to same-sex marriage upon the people. The people should decide this question, and they have consistently rejected same-sex marriage."
This certainly is not true after Nov. 6, 2012, when the people of Maine, Maryland and Washington adopted same-sex marriage through referenda. It was not really true before then. In the states where courts have recognized rights to same-sex civil union or marriage — such as Vermont and Massachusetts — legislatures already had extended numerous protections to same-sex couples and their children. Conservatives belie their argument for letting the people decide. When state legislatures pass marriage equality laws, they say voters should decide through referenda. Now that three states have embraced same-sex marriage through referenda, conservatives likely will argue that it should be decided through constitutional amendment.
4. "Courts protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination and recognizing rights to same-sex marriage have invented a novel standard of judicial review."
On this view, courts must either 1) recognize a fundamental right or suspect classification, triggering "strict scrutiny" that almost automatically invalidates the law, or 2) apply deferential "rational basis scrutiny" that all but automatically upholds it. In Ordered Liberty we debunk this myth. Justices Stevens and Marshall famously argued that, under the Equal Protection Clause, the Supreme Court instead has applied a continuum of standards. The same is true under the Due Process Clause. The California case,Hollingsworth v. Perry, did not apply a "novel" standard but followed the approach of Romer andLawrence. It avoided recognizing a fundamental right or suspect classification, yet put teeth into its analysis of whether the law was rationally related to a legitimate governmental purpose — holding that Proposition 8 instead manifested "animus" against or a rejection of the "worth and dignity of gays and lesbians as a class."
5. "If the Supreme Court invalidates Proposition 8, it will decide the question of same-sex marriage for the whole nation."
In fact, like Romer, Perry was decided on narrow, "minimalist" grounds. The Ninth Circuit stated, "We need not and do not answer the broader question in this case." California "had already extended to committed same-sex couples both the incidents of marriage and the official designation of 'marriage,' and Proposition 8's only effect was to take away that important and legally significant designation, while leaving in place all of its incidents." Applying Romer, the appeals court found the amendment unconstitutional because it was "left with 'the inevitable inference that the disadvantage imposed is born of animosity toward,' or … mere disapproval of … gays and lesbians as a class." Perry is thus a narrow decision that does not impose same-sex marriage on the whole nation.
…the outcome may come down to the vote of one justice: Anthony Kennedy. Supporters of marriage equality should take some comfort from the fact that he wrote the opinions in both Romer and Lawrence.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.

Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
We have been sourcing fruit from the exceptional terrain of Howell Mountain for more than a quarter century and were proud to unveil our first Howell Mountain Napa Valley Red Wine in 1989. From 1993 through 2003, this wine was bottled as a varietal, the Howell Mountain Napa Valley Merlot. As such, it was made using a minimum of 75 percent Merlot.
Beginning with the 2004 vintage, we are pleased to return to our roots and will once again be releasing this sought-after bottling as our Howell Mountain Napa Valley Red Wine. What's in a name? A lot. This new name will give us enhanced freedom to create the best blend possible each vintage (without worrying about percentages) from the four Bordeaux varietals grown on our Stout and Candlestick Ridge estate vineyards. We believe this approach offers us greater latitude to capture the flavorful diversity of this one-of-a-kind winegrowing region.
This Napa Valley Red Wine reflects the power and intensity of its rugged, high elevation terroir, displaying excellent structure, strong tannins and a complex undercurrent of earthy minerality. Featuring extracted aromas of dark chocolate, mulled fruit and spice, this robust wine also offers savory hints of porcini and soy. On the palate, mouth-filling flavors of blackberry, black currant, mocha and menthol are accentuated by hints of lavender, graphite, herbs and sweet oak.
"Almost entirely Merlot, with a few drops of other Bordeaux varieties, this Howell Mountain red screams for time in the cellar. The tannins bite and dog the mouth through the long, astringent finish. But chew on it for a while and you hit a deep core of blackberries and currants, and the more the wine warms up in the glass, the more impressive it gets. Cellar until 2010, and it should reward for years after."

Integrated Degree Program
Earn a bachelor's and master's in as little as five years.
It goes without saying that job markets are currently very competitive and especially so in certain fields. Every chance you have to make yourself - and your credentials - more competitive is important. So that's why Chatham has made getting a leg up with an advanced degree clearer, quicker, and more affordable with the Integrated Degree Program.
The Integrated Degree Program will lets students earn both your bachelor's and master's degree in as few as five years, with students taking courses toward both during their senior years. By working toward a master's degree during the last year of undergraduate work, the degree comes at significant cost savings as compared to traditional master's completion.
Health Sciences
- Master of Occupational Therapy
- Master of Physician Assistant Studies
- Master of Science in Biology
- Master of Science in Counseling Psychology
- Master of Arts in Psychology
Sustainability and the Environment
Creative & Liberal Arts
Benefits of the IDP
- Six years of education completed in as little as five years.
- Maintain your undergraduate scholarship and tuition rates up to 120 credits into your undergraduate career.
- Cost savings can equal 30% compared to earning degrees separately.
- Up to 12 credits double-count toward your bachelor's and master's degree completion.
- A one-year head start in the workforce as compared to your peers in other master's degree programs.
- An opportunity for increased earning potential and greater responsibility.
In addition to graduate programs at Chatham, we have partnered with Carnegie Mellon University to offer additional programs for our IDP students. You will receive your bachelor's degree from Chatham and your master's degree from one of our partner institutions.
H. John Heinz III College at Carnegie Mellon University
During your junior year at Chatham, you can apply to any of these Heinz College programs:
- Master of Arts Management
- Master of Information Systems Management
- Master of Science in Healthcare Policy and Management
- Master of Science in Public Policy & Management
Once accepted, you will take courses at both Chatham and the Heinz College during your senior year.
The Process
In your Junior year at Chatham (end of sophomore year for teaching), you will formally apply to the graduate program of your choice. If accepted, you will begin to supplement some of your undergraduate courses with graduate level coursework during your Senior year. Regardless of which program you select, you will be able to earn both your bachelor's and master's degrees in as few as five years.
If the IDP interests you from the start, you may apply for conditional admission into the program when you complete your undergraduate admission application. This step is not necessary, but can help with developing a streamline path throughout your undergraduate education should you decide to take advantage of the program.
If you have any questions, please reach out to an admissions counselor at 800-837-1290.

It's too bad this series veered into numerous negative directions after such a promising 1st season including a pathetic kidnap ending. You won't miss much bypassing the Riches 2nd Season...as I should have. Fagetaboutit

Fortunately nitetrain's spoiler comment doesn't tell the whole story, nor in my opinion is the second series radically different in character from the first. My main gripe is that they never seem to learn from their mistakes and keep on doing the same stupid things that get them in trouble at the start of the series. This final season, season 2, is a shorter season with only 7 episodes and while the series does not end with cliffhangers it definitely leaves a lot of open ends.

Kingston, the capital of Jamaica (& the largest city in Jamaica), was founded on July 22 in the year 1692.
Then, it was a refuge for survivors of the massive 1692 earthquake that destroyed Port Royal. Before the earthquake, Kingston was purely agricultural.
The largest city and the principal port here in Jamaica, it lies on the south east coast of the island. Based on the 2002 population estimate, there were approximately 583,900 persons living here.
It became the capital in 1872 and remained capital at independence in 1962. Prior to that, Spanish Town in St. Catherine was the capital. [see 101 facts about Jamaica]
Not only is Kingston the cultural center of the island, it is also considered the business and commercial hub of the island. It host all the Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates, some of the major hospitals as well as some of the largest media and communication organizations.
Of course, you'll certainly find all the international fast food chains here as well.
Industries in Kingston include tourism, petroleum products, textiles, and clothing, while major exports are agricultural items such as bananas, sugar, coffee, molasses and rum.
|View of uptown Kingston in 2007
|View of Kingston just after the 1907 earthquake.
[Selected pictures from Wikipedia]
Of course, been the capital of Jamaica, Kingston has some of the most significant landmarks and attractions in Jamaica. These include:
At the time of this writing, Kingston had five sister cities:
The local government bodies of the parishes of Kingston and St. Andrew were joined by the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation Act of 1923, to form the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC).
Greater Kingston, or the "Corporate Area" refers to the KSAC; however, it does not solely refer to Kingston Parish, which only consists of the old downtown and Port Royal.
The issue of crime however is still a sore issue in Kingston. The capital city continue to record the highest murder rates in the island. It is worth noting however that 80% of the murders in Kingston are in the depressed garrison areas of downtown Kingston.
The capital city is served by Norman Manley International Airport and also by the smaller (and primarily domestic) Tinson Pen Aerodrome.

Does Nokia Have A Good Future?
Yasir is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has gone through a wild ride, from being a leader in the mobile phone industry to just another company looking to survive in the industry dominated by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Android. Many analysts claim that Nokia wouldn't survive after losing significant market share -- but Nokia has come back stronger with Microsoft as its partner.
Both Nokia and BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY), have been struggling after losing market share in the smartphone industry. While BlackBerry's future is uncertain, Nokia just released a stunning Windows-based smartphone, the Lumia 920. Even though Nokia's Windows Phone 8, or WP8, devices are packed with a lot of features, there is still doubt on whether or not Nokia can compete with the market giants. Here is a SWOT analysis of Nokia, which will reflect Nokia's current position and the things you need to look out for in the future.
Nokia still dominates the Windows smartphone market, and even though that market is still quite small, Nokia leads Samsung and HTC with its Lumia line of smartphones. This is a major strength, and if the Windows Phone market as a whole grows, then Nokia is likely to grow as well.
BlackBerry and Apple, on the other hand, use their own software and hardware. While Apple is still one of the leaders in the industry, BlackBerry will rely on its new operating system, BB10. People are aware of WP8, but BlackBerry 10 is a totally new OS, and BlackBerry's market share will only grow if people actually like it.
Another strength for Nokia is that it has a market for all types of customers. The high-end Lumia line is aimed towards people with higher budgets, while low-end Lumia phones, like the Lumia 620, are aimed towards people who are tight on money but still need a good smartphone. The Asha line is aimed towards people with even lower budgets, who need a good mobile phone with some quality features.
Apple lacks this variety. Its iPhones are expensive, which limits their potential customer base and excludes those with tigher budgets. Similarly, the BlackBerry 10 smartphones are also expensive, and are targeted towards a set audience.
While the Asha line might not need major improvements due to the price tag, the Lumia smartphones certainly have some flaws. Firstly, the Lumia 920's hardware is not as up-to-date compared to its price tag. It is definitely a brilliant smartphone but with its price tag, you should expect at least a quad-core processor.
Most new devices, such as the Galaxy S3 and the LG Nexus 4, are packed with quad-core processors while the Lumia 920 is only packed with a dual-core processor. Even though Nokia features a completely different OS and requirements for hardware, the latest hardware is required in order to compete against giants in the industry. BlackBerry 10 also features a dual-core processor, however, it is a phone designed for multitasking which is why it features 2GB of RAM compared to 1GB on the Lumia 920.
The relatively small app store on WP is seen as another weakness for Nokia's Lumia line. Nokia finds itself standing close to BlackBerry 10 in terms of the number of apps available and even though there are many quality apps available on both the app stores, Nokia and BlackBerry are far behind than Apple and Android. Apple's app store is almost 8 to 10 times bigger than the current app stores of BB10 and WP8 and users are clearly missing apps like Instagram and Spotify.
One of the opportunities for Nokia is to expand into the tablet market. The overall sales of tablets have increased significantly in recent years dominated, again, by Apple and Android. Stephen Elop, Nokia's CEO, recently revealed that he is looking to get into the tablets market with Microsoft's OS being the first preference.
However, Elop also stated that the company will consider alternatives as well even, although, a Windows 8 tablet would go perfectly with a Lumia smartphone. Apple has already been successful with its 5 different iPad models and Nokia can succeed as well. However, it could still fail if it follows BlackBerry's mistakes which led to the failure of the BB Playbook.
Another opportunity for Nokia could be to release a new line of smartphones with a totally new OS. It is highly unlikely that Nokia releases its own Operating System for a premium line of smartphones but who knows if it can create a new partnership with Google for premium Nokia-Android smartphones as Elop didn't rule out a possibility of a Nokia-Android tablet.
In an apples to apples comparison, Nokia currently faces competition from Samsung's Ativ smartphone series along with HTC's WP8 devices. In the smartphones industry, as a whole, Nokia faces competition from Apple, BlackBerry 10 and all the Android manufacturers including Samsung and Sony.
Even though Nokia targets different types of consumers with different budgets, a serious threat could be Apple's rumored upcoming "Budget iPhone." If Apple releases a cheap iPhone in the near future, Nokia's low-end smartphone share could fall down.
The BlackBerry 10 devices could also cause problems for Nokia's market share as both companies are struggling to get back into the smartphones industry with significant market share. The Lumia 920 competes with Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy S3, however, Samsung Galaxy S4 is rumored to be right around the corner and Nokia needs to release another device in order to stay competitive.
Bottom Line
Nokia was left far behind by Apple and Android and the question, back then, was whether or not Nokia would be able to catch up with the latest smartphones. With the latest Lumia 920, Nokia certainly played catch up with the industry giants, however, now the question is whether Nokia will be able to compete with Apple and Android after catching up to them. Nokia's Lumia sales have been booming but we'll have to wait and see if Nokia can release more competitive devices in order to compete with Apple, BlackBerry and Android's latest offerings.

Roadmap for America
The Drug War: Part IV Legalization vs. De-criminalization

As we have discussed for a number of weeks, our Drug War has not only failed, but made the situation inexorably worse. Those who cling to the Ignorance of Power refuse to admit this, but they are incapable of dealing with the real world. The reality of our Drug War is the largest prison population in the world and the greatest drug use.
As we encounter a drug user, rather than approach the problem objectively, we just make drug possession a crime. In some cases we look away, but in many cases we put them in prison. As we have discussed before, the human psyche is hard wired with a sense of justice. If someone is engaging in self-destructive behavior and hurting no one else, they innately believe they are not doing anything "wrong".
Put them in prison and they feel victimized. They may not have been violent when they went in, but prisons are caldrons of violence. The entire prison social hierarchy is determined by violence. Put someone in prison guilty of nothing more than self-destructive behavior and force them to associate with real criminals, and they themselves will become criminals. This is partially responsible for why our system has made the situation much worse.
Portugal decriminalized drugs and has actually reduced drug use. How? By treating drug use objectively (which we haven't done).
At this point I want to discuss de-criminalization vs. legalization which many people lump together as synonymous. They are not. They are two completely different concepts.
Legalization is just that. California is considering the legalization of marijuana but they are not thinking about the social aspects. They are just thinking about all the tax revenue that can be generated.
Myself I am not comfortable recommending the legalization of any drug, but will be the first to admit this would pull the rug out from under the criminal gangs. This is the quickest way to stop the criminal activity peripheral to drug use. (Legislation in defense of morality always carries more risks than benefits.)
What I favor is the Portuguese system, where drug users are still mandated to court. But instead of being sent to prison, they pay civil fines. The fines go to pay for counseling and treatment. Instead of you and I paying $30,000/yr. to keep each one in prison, they largely pay for their own treatment.
This is an objective way to deal with drug use. It does not address the hypocrisy of our system (which we will discuss next time), but it can and does reduce drug use. This is the real problem, which we have failed to recognize through the forty-year history of our Drug War.

"The reality of our Drug War is the largest prison population in the world and the greatest drug use."
How about some qualification, a reference to some known factual study, some tiny fraction of evidence to support this contention? And if so, is it just possibly due to the fact that most other countries are just so corrupt and inept that they can't keep up with the criminals?
We also happen to be the wealthiest country in the world, which makes us a magnet for the drug trade. Illegal or legal, there will necessarily always be a lot of addictive drugs flowing into this country, more than any other country and we cannot simply look at Portugal and assume we would have similar results.
You cannot simply decriminalize drug use and possession and expect the prisons and jails to miraculously empty themselves of the criminals. There will always be crime associated with addictive drugs until robbery, burglary, racketeering, conspiracy and murder are legalized.

And what do we do to those users who can't or won't pay the fines? The worst abusers are those who commit crimes to support their habits, do they have the money to pay fines? This is a thorny problem and our current solution certainly is not working. We need to design a program that will take away the economic incentive from the drug dealers along with treatment programs for users. There should be some kind of penalty for repeat offender users, not jail.

Hopefully they'll have at least ditched Mick McCarthy.
Haha great. Arry joining the BBC team apparently but still take them over the joy that is Southgate and Towsend
Hope the BBC have Clarence Seedorf as a pundit again.
In any event, I intend to avoid ITV as much as possible. Their entire commentary/punditry lineup is thoroughly objectionable.
What's the situation in England with the coverage? Sky and BBC at the same time, or they take different games?
ITV alternate with BBC. Sky get nothing because they like to keep big international tournaments free-to-air.
ITV. Eeeuuuww. Chiles and Red Clive with Townsend and Southgate prevaricating as if their lives depended on it. When Keane sits in it's like Michelangelo has been forced to make ends meet by doing a bit of artexing in between Sistine Chapels.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
Brumby at his finest.
I actually don't mind Southgate but he might have just stood out at the World Cup because the rest of ITV's panel was so ****.
Can't stand Southgate. A very Southern English brand of moron: one who's far too polite to ever say anything of substance. All you get is a load of "looking back on that he'll think he maybe could have done a bit better there."
He's not horribly, infuriatingly wrong all the time like Townsend though. So in that sense he's one of ITV's better pundits, but that's a bit like being the nicest paedophile.

I think Southgate is often quite critical and cutting with what he says to be honest. The reason I dislike him so much though is that he's a massive hypocrite. Happy to say how crap the decisions of other managers are, whilst conveniently forgetting that his tenure with Middlesbrough was absolutely disastrous.
Townsend also incredibly irksome, and just a moron. At least Robbie Earle was a nice lad, don't remember a lot about his punditry before his...er...indiscretion, but at least he wasn't extremely annoying. Can't stand Chiles, Clive, Drury, Beglin or Pleat though.
I like Beglin but that's mostly because I associate his voice with watching our UEFA Cup run on ITV4.
ITV's production values are pissweak compared to the beeb as well
Personally I wish sky were allowed to show some games; not exclusively but it'd be nice to have the choice.
The good news is ESPN have none. Their choice of pundit is...well.
ESPN is just cack all-round imo. Ray Stubbs, maybe the most boring man in the world.

New London — When Alden Santiago and his neighbors looked out their Coit Street windows Sunday morning and saw a plow had never come down their street, they grabbed their shovels.
About a dozen residents on this small, one-way street off Washington Street spent all day Sunday digging out the road themselves.
"We did it by hand,'' said Santiago, who lives at 24 Coit St., as he stood in a lane wide enough for one car to pass through.
Domingo Badillo, also of 24 Coit St., was among those who helped. Although he does not have to work today, many of his neighbors do.
"We're trying to help out the working guys,'' he said, leaning on his shovel. "Now everyone can go to work. I feel good."
Angelane Beard, who lives at 18 Coit St., said her street seems always to be last on the plowing schedule.
"But people have to go to work,'' she said, watching her son, who was home from Southern Connecticut State University, toss snow onto mounds that were nearing 5 feet. "We always get together and help each other."
In the afternoon, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio heard about the residents shoveling and showed up to help.
"Everyone who can, grabbed a shovel,'' he said, of other city employees who were out in their neighborhoods helping out.
Coit Street, Finizio said, is one of about 30 streets in the city that need smaller plows to clear snow.
"We were hit hard by this storm,'' he said. "All the big trucks were keeping the main roads cleared, so these small side streets, dead ends and cul-de-sacs are last."
He added that the 49-member Public Works Department put in 40 hours over the past two days and were sent home to sleep. But the drivers were ordered back in Sunday and were expected to work through the night to clear a path down all streets.

WAUSAU, Wis (WSAU) Marathon County sheriffs investigators now believe the home explosion on Pioneer Lane in Wausau was a suicide. They tell WAOW-TV that the remains inside the house are likely 43-year-old Jesse Jehn. The body was so badly decomposed that positive DNA and dental identification could take several months. One investigator said Jehn's past history also indicated a likely suicide, although no more information is being provided.
There was no suicide note found at the scene.
Investigators have said several explosive devices were linked together to detonate simultaneously. They were found in the home's basement and in a vehicle on the property.
The blast happened last Thursday and shook other houses nearby. The home was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, and none of the outer walls were left standing.

SportsDay Live: Friday, December 7, 2012
5:35PM Thats' all for today's SportsDay Live blog. Thanks for logging in. We'll be back again on Monday morning. In the meantime, stay tuned to smh.com.au for news and views from the world of sport.
Log on tonight for a live blog of the Big Bash League season opener between Shane Warne's Melbourne Stars and Muttiah Muralitharan's Melbourne Renegades.
And we'll have another blog up and running tomorrow night for the Sydney derby between the Sixers and the Thunder at the SCG.
5:31PM On this day in 1930 ... Tommy Armour wins the US PGA Championship at Fresh Meadows Country Club at Flushing. They must have thought Fresh sounded better than Flushing. Go figure.
5:29PM Basketball: Dallas Mavericks have survived a late surge from the Suns to win their NBA clash in Phoenix 97-94. The Mavs are a vastly different team to the one which lifted the NBA trophy just two seasons ago. They won't win the title this season but they should make the playoffs.
5:27PM Cricket: David Warner says former Test opening partner Phillip Hughes is primed to fire at first drop in Australia's first clash with Sri Lanka next week in Hobart. Warner opened the batting with Hughes when the latter played his most recent Test a year ago at Bellerive. ''He's worked hard during the off-season, scored a lot of runs over in England. Then he's come here and been the leading runscorer in Shield cricket. We know what Phil's like. When he scores hundreds, he usually scores big hundreds and that's exactly what we need in the Test team. He's a country boy - he's laid back. He's always relaxed and I don't think he'll get nervous at all.''
5:24PM NFL: The Denver Broncos, their AFC West division title secure, defeated Oakland 26-13 on Thursday to notch their eighth straight NFL victory and edge toward a possible first-round playoff bye. Peyton Manning joined Brett Favre as the only NFL quarterbacks with 5000 career pass completions, throwing for 310 yards and a touchdown. The resurgent NFL veteran, in his first season in Denver, completed 26-of-36 passes as the Broncos improved to 10-3. Their eight-game winning streak is the club's longest since the 1998 Broncos opened the season 13-0.
5:18PM Cricket: The Southern Stars take on NZ at the SCG in the first of four ODIs on Wednesday. The remaining games will be played at North Sydney Oval on December 14, 17 & 19.

5:05PM Cricket: Australian all-rounder Shane Watson all but confirms he'll bat No.4 in the first Test v Sri Lanka. ''Mickey Arthur talked to me at the end of the last Test to say the way it was looking, they were going to move me down to four. It's taken me a few days to get my head around that, but it means I can bowl a few more overs."

What Tech Company Will Make a Nice Addition to Your Portfolio in 2013?
Naomi is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Over the years, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been the darling of many investors in the smartphone stock market, but with the recent decline in its share price, it has become necessary to have an alternative smartphone company to serve as a reliable backup. This does not mean that Apple is no longer viable, but I feel an addition will have to be made to be on the safer side. In this case, which smartphone stock would it be? Let's take a good look at Apple, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Research In Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY).
Apple, Nokia and RIMM in Focus:
According to a report published by Kantartech, Apple's smartphone market share in the United States alone is about 53%. Reports have it that smartphones make up 50% of the mobile devices being used in the US and this simply means that 25% of these mobile devices are Apple products. In comparison to Nokia, its Windows Mobile is only maintaining a paltry 2.7% market share in the US; although in Europe, especially in France, Spain, Italy and United Kingdom, the Finnish company is maintaining a reasonable percentage of market share. As for RIMM, the cloud has never been darker as the company continues to lose market share across several continents.
Apple in Focus:
Although there have been speculations that the company's performance will be less than average, but with Apple selling about 2 million new iPhone 5s in China three days after the launch of the product, these expectations are being dispelled. Also, the fact that the company is looking into the future by spending around $9.4 billion in 2012 towards cloud servicing and expansion of its hardware, is another plus. With this expansion, it means that in the future, Apple will be relying less on supplier companies for most of the parts in its products. The benefit of this for the company and consumers is that since the company will have maximum control of its supply-chain, cases of delay in production and minimal product supply will be greatly minimized.
The decline in the company's stock price has nothing to do with the company's financial standing, since from the 10-K form it filed with the SEC for the fiscal year 2012 showed Apple has continued to grow financially. The decline is purely sentimental because it is assumed by most investors that Apple failed to meet their expectations with the launch of the iPhone 5.
Nokia in Focus:
Although there was much hype about Nokia selling out a huge number of Lumia 920 phones during its launch, their sales was actually low and was mostly attributed to supply issues. With this realization by investors, a damp blanket was put over the assumptions that Nokia would break a $5.00 price mark. Although the Lumia 920 came with innovative features and other additions that were made in order to greatly distinguish it from the Lumia 800 range, it was unable to generate much buzz. Even with the exclusive carrier rights partnership the company entered into with AT&T, a company that has been in the forefront as far as carrier billing is concerned and has made it possible for consumers to pay for various services and products using their mobile devices, the sales of the Lumia 920 phones did not experience any form of accelerated sales.
Nokia's saving grace could be the deal it struck with China Mobile (NYSE: CHL), the biggest global cellular operator. With a 197% increase recorded in the sales of smartphones in China in Q2 of 2012 and Nokia's exclusive smartphone access to not less than 700 million Chinese subscribers through its partnership with China Mobile, this could turn out to be good for the company.
RIM in Focus:
After the report on the new fee structure that was been initiated by RIMM as regards services associated with the company's Blackberry 10 phones, the stock suffered a decline of 23%. Although RIMM has looked forward to doing new things with the release of the Blackberry 10, with big contenders in the smartphone market like Apple, Google, and Nokia; it will not be an easy task, especially in terms of reaping huge profits. The release of the product in January could have little or no impact on RIMM's revenue stream. Another reason why the release of the Blackberry 10 might not create much hype is the fact that apart from its top-notch security features, the smartphones from RIMM lacks a higher percentage of what it takes to guarantee excellent user experience.
Nokia has experienced a 22.37% decline in its stock price from the beginning of 2012 with RIMM going down by 29.66% from the beginning of the same year. Apple on its part, even as the shares continued to drop, is up by 26.29% from the beginning of 2012. This means that even with the decline in its stock price, Apple, aided by its cash flow, strong-hold in the smartphone market and unprecedented sales, has continued to perform better than Nokia and RIMM. The fact that what Apple has been doing is re-inventing existing products while Nokia and RIMM keep getting innovative and releasing new products changes little or nothing on the market share of Apple. So, come 2013, it becomes your choice to make on which of these stocks to add to your portfolio, based on the information at the tip of your fingers.
