Analysis of 2012 Chicago Council Survey on American Public Opinion and US Foreign Policy
By Scott Snyder
Senior Fellow for Korea Studies and
Director, Program on US-Korea Policy
Council on Foreign Relations
The 2012 Chicago Council Survey provides an opportunity to understand the American public's views on America's role in the world as well as American responses both to developments in the US-South Korea relationship and to South Korean efforts to enhance its own standing in the international community. The survey results provide a snapshot of the state of the relationship. When paired with data from previous years regarding Korea-related issues, the survey also provides a measure of the direction and value that Americans place on the relationship with South Korea as American recognition of the importance of Asia to US interests grows.
This essay is based on a series of survey questions on Korea that is part of a larger Chicago Council Survey on American public opinion and US foreign policy. The essay is the author's own interpretation of the Council's survey results.

Though some Minnesotans don't spend much time thinking about it, others believe frac sand mining will affect every person in the state.
"This is a big deal. This will transform our landscape," said Katie Himanga, a forester and former mayor of Lake City.
Himanga joined a couple of busloads of people from the Minnesota River Valley who traveled to the state Capitol on Tuesday. Crowds gathered to discuss growing concerns about the impact of the frac sand mining boom on Minnesota's environment and air quality.
The sand is used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to get natural gas and oil out of the ground.
On Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Environment and Energy and House Committee on Energy Policy held the first hearing to consider testimony on the frac sand mining industry.
"Often times these rock formations that have the silica up near the surface, they straddle county lines," said Himanga. "So, you are permitting on one side of the county line, someone else it permitting on the other side. We need someone taking a look at this entire region."
A long line of people waiting to testify at Tuesday's hearing weaved through the Capitol, and two overflow rooms were set up. All signs and posters banned from the main hearing room where Dean Flugstad testified on behalf of Trout Unlimited.
"My concerns are water quality and water quantity," said Flugstad. "If one of these mines would inundate the trout streams with sediment and chemicals, you would have a disaster -- and who is going to pick up the tab for cleaning up that stream?"
Fracking is big business in neighboring North Dakota, but a lot of the sand used is coming from Minnesota and mining companies are keen to acquire permits from local governments.
Yet, some Minnesota cities are banning mining expansion until regulations are put in place because the local governments are overwhelmed and the local residents are concerned about pollution and traffic.
"Who can answer how many Wisconsin patrons will choose not to cross our interstate bridge to have surgery at our hospital or eat at one of our many restaurants because it's not worth fighting 900 trucks running across the bridge each day just to haul sand?" asked Lynn Schoen, Wabasha City Councilwoman.
Opponents are calling for a statewide moratorium until permitting can be established.
Aside from health and environmental concerns, frac sand mines seem to pop up in some of the state's most picturesque places. That's because the same geological forces that tend to cause silica sand to accumulate underground in Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Iowa have also created scenic landforms atop that sand.
Hay Creek is an example. It is located south of Red Wing, Minn. A mining company bought land above Highway 58, which splits two bluffs that are rich in silica sand.
The Land Stewardship Project is asking lawmakers to pass the following four-point agenda:
Yet, several Minnesota sand mine owners told the packed hearing that cities like Mankato are already successfully regulating mines as they argued against state involvement.
"This area knows mining and knows how to regulate it," said Scott Sustacek, of Jordan Sands.
Critics, however, say the cost to road infrastructure and the threat of particulate pollution are simply too high for the state to ignore.
"The state needs to get involved to help us protect our home -- my home," Schoen said. "Go Minnesota."
Tuesday's hearing was simply an informational session, meaning there is no legislation on the table yet; however, a bill will be introduced next week that will allow the secretary of the Department of Natural Resources to protect sensitive land from sand mining operations.

3 ETFs with bang for your buck
Investors in these equity-based funds will benefit from a strengthening dollar.
Speculation that the Federal Reserve will soon begin tapering its quantitative easing program, which by some accounts could start in September, has been good news for the U.S. dollar.
It was not long ago that the term "king dollar" was more snark than reality, as riskier currencies such as the Australian dollar and even the embattled euro traded higher against the greenback.
Helped by the Fed, the greenback has changed its ways as the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP), the tracking ETF for the U.S. Dollar Index, has gained 3.5% in the past month. With expectations in place that a tapering announcement will arrive following the Fed's September meeting, the dollar could have more upside ahead of it.
UBS thinks so. The bank is forecasting year end targets of EUR/USD 1.20, USD/JPY 1.10 and GBP/USD 1.41, according to WisdomTree. And that does not include the fact that if AUD/USD falls below 90 cents, the Aussie could easily lose another 10% from there (Benzinga).
In addition to UUP, an obviously valid and worthy play, investors should consider some equity-based ETFs, including some new funds, as avenues for profiting from King Dollar's resurgence.
WisdomTree United Kingdom Hedged Equity Fund (DXPS)
Some investors have reservations about new ETFs and the newer the fund, the more trepidation investors seems to have. That is understandable, but rarely if ever backed by empirical evidence. We could get into a plethora of facts regarding the WisdomTree United Kingdom Hedged Equity Fund, the first ETF to hedge GBP/USD fluctuations, such as fees (0.48% per year) and holdings (plenty of staples, banks and oil names).
However, this is why DXPS is worth a look and worth a look now, not next week or next month or after the crowd has poured $100 million into the ETF: The U.K. economy is, finally, showing signs of improvement and it is widely expected that the Bank of England will add to its stimulus program.
Assuming sterling continues to fall, investors can either short the CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (FXB), a risky proposition, or profit from rising U.K. stocks with DXPS.
WisdomTree Japan Hedged SmallCap Equity Fund (DXJS)
Another new ETF, but DXPS has the advantages of being known as the small-cap equivalent of the highly popular WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ). It was noted on Tuesday that Japan ETFs benefit when U.S. interest rates rise (Benzinga).
WisdomTree Research Director Jeremy Schwartz confirms the potential for that scenario to play out.
"On June 25, 10-year JGB yields were 0.87%, while 10-year U.S. yields had reached 2.58%.3 The wider interest rate difference may encourage Japanese investors to start buying U.S. Treasuries, causing more pressure on the yen," he said in a new WisdomTree research note.
ProShares UltraShort Australian Dollar (CROC)
Even with Tuesday's 0.6% gain, the CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (FXA) is down 12.3% in the past 90 days. The Australian dollar is the second-worst performing developed market currency in the world this year behind the yen. Strong U.S. data has pressured the Aussie and the cooling Australian economy means it is probable that the Reserve Bank of Australia lowers rates again (already at a record low of 2.75%) later this year.
CROC does not grab a lot of press, but consider this: The ETF had just $3.69 million in assets at the end of the first quarter. Since the start of the second quarter, CROC has gained nearly $16.4 million in assets, according to Index Universe data.

Year One Mashes Up Creation, Covenant and Cain and Abel
- Friday, June 19, 2009
Year One makes far fewer concessions to the family audience, although it could be much more explicit in depicting moral failings. Nevertheless, its failure to deliver consistent laughs only serves to highlight the film's theological content, which is rooted more in pop psychology than it is in Scripture.
Harold Ramis has made some great comedies (Groundhog Day) and some not so great comedies (Stuart Saves His Family). Year One falls somewhere on the lower end of the scale. Its take on the first book of the Bible might call to mind the description of the church at Laodicea in the last book of the Bible (Revelation 3:16): It's neither hot nor cold. If you take it in, you might want to spit it out.
Questions? Comments? Contact the writer at email@example.com.
- Language/Profanity: Lord's name taken in vain; some foul language, and much sexual innuendo; Isaac describes Sodom as the place where "the sinners are winners."
- Smoking/Drinking: Smoking; discussion of "smoking herb" and "killer hemp"; drunkenness; wine is promised as a post-circumcision treat.
- Sex/Nudity: A man does a fertility dance to win a woman's attention, and hits her in the head in hopes that he'll knock her unconscious and be able to drag her back to his hut before she comes to; a woman strokes men spears in a suggestive manner; men thrust sexually toward women; Zed shows Oh a piece of meat that resembles a sex organ; Adam allows Zed to lay with his daughter; Seth says he "multiplies with sheep"; a woman declares that she's attracted to other women; women are groped by men; Zed and Oh ask whether Sodom or Gomorrah has "more whores"; men are threatened from behind with spiked sticks; a woman eats a banana suggestively; a sheep's entrails include a pulverized rectum, which is said to be "not unusual" for a sheep from the region of Sodom and Gomorrah; a eunuch throws his testicle at another man; a man talks suggestively and writhes in pleasure as a young man rubs oil into his chest; an idol has a penile appendage; kissing; a man loses his virginity.

In the minutes before Raymond Herisse was killed in a torrent of police gunfire, Miami Beach police were bombarded with the constant crackle of gunfire and, for five nerve-racking minutes, some of them tried fruitlessly to figure out where the shots were coming from, who was firing upon whom and why shots were being fired at all.
Police dispatch audio files, obtained exclusively by The Miami Herald, reveal the tumultuous minutes before and after the 2011 Urban Beach shootings in which one person was killed and four bystanders seriously wounded in a hail of bullets 116 of them fired by police during the citys annual Memorial Day weekend hip-hop-themed street festival.
The audio files reveal that Miami Beach police were confronting numerous crime scenes simultaneously that morning, including a SWAT team investigation at a hotel on Ocean Drive involving a suspected gunman, and at least two other shootings. Its clear it was a chaotic few hours in which officers were hunting crime suspects in all corners of South Beach.
But the audio files are perhaps more interesting for what they dont reveal: Why police felt compelled to fire a fusillade of bullets on a vehicle that had already stopped and a suspect they already had at gunpoint.
I think it verifies what weve seen on the video, said Marwan Porter, who represents the family of Herisse. We had the car and the subject stationary. There was nothing done by Raymond. You dont hear anybody saying he has a gun! or hes shooting! or anything that would ignite the firing squad that killed him.
Porter pointed out that the audio files do not reveal what caused officers initial contact with Herisse, and that given all the trouble that morning, its possible police may have confused Herisse with another suspect they were seeking.
Other problems on the tapes: Witnesses give conflicting accounts and descriptions of suspects running from the various crime scenes. It isnt clear whether any of them were related to the primary scene at 13th and Collins Avenue.
Police officers on the street report a fleeing vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed but none of them are heard describing the color, make or model of the vehicle. Its not clear how the dispatcher learns that the vehicle was a silver Hyundai.
Officers repeatedly and breathlessly tell dispatchers shots fired! shots fired! but none of them say that the driver in the car or anyone else is firing the shots. Its not clear whether some of the officers along Collins Avenue watching the car pass by are, in fact, firing their weapons.
Herisse, who was driving the Hyundai erratically southbound on Collins Avenue, finally comes to a stop at 13th and Collins, according to an officer on the scene. The audio files indicate that Herisse is in the vehicle and at gunpoint. Its not clear why police surround his car and fire repeatedly.
No officer reports seeing anyone else inside or fleeing Herisses car. And yet, for several hours after the shooting, officers, including SWAT team members, continue to search for other suspects, though it is not clear why. One purported suspect, described repeatedly and simply as a black man wearing a purple shirt, leads to a manhunt and the detaining of multiple black men in purple shirts.
The Miami Beach Police Department has declined to comment on this case.
The two-year investigation, which has been dogged by controversy, is now in the hands of the Miami-Dade state attorney, who will decide whether the 12 officers who fired their semi-automatic weapons into Herisses vehicle committed criminal negligence by shooting in an area filled with streams of tourists.
Four people, two men and two women, were caught in the gunfire. They continue to suffer long-term injuries from their wounds and have received no financial assistance for their medical bills from the city. The police department, which conducted the probe, has refused to give details of the investigation, including whether the bystanders were shot by officers or someone else.
Gunshot residue tests have shown that Herisse did not fire a weapon that day. A gun was found under a seat in his car by police three days later.
Miami Beachs Fraternal Order of Police has said the shooting was justified because Herisse, who was drunk, posed a lethal danger to the officers and others. Veteran law enforcement officers have said that Miami Beach police acted appropriately, given the nightmare they were confronting that morning: an out-of-control vehicle moving toward a crowd of people as gunfire was erupting from an unknown source.
The audio files show that Miami Beach police and other officers from assisting agencies were first alerted to the incident when a Hialeah police officer reported a fleeing vehicle driving at a high rate of speed southbound on Collins Avenue at 660 Street, which the dispatcher quickly figured out is 16th Street.
Officer 1: Hialeah 200 priority theres a vehicle fleeing southbound on Collins at 660 Street.
Officer 2: I believe he struck one of the officers.
Dispatcher: Vehicle description?
Dispatcher: Attention units: silver Hyundai heading southbound from 16th Street and Collins.
Officer 3: Shots fired! Shots fired! Vehicle fleeing at high rate of speed Espanola and Collins Avenue!
Officer 4: 14th ,14th and ...Collins shots fired!
Officer 5: Shots fired shots fired! Doesnt know why shots fired!
As the vehicle continues south, and officers report its location, the barrage of gunfire in the background sounds like the finale of a fireworks display.
Officer 6: 13th and Collins, car stopped.
Officer 7: Wheres the subject? Wheres the subject?
Officer 6: In the vehicle...at gunpoint...
And suddenly another blast.
Dispatcher: Multiple shots, multiple shots, 1400 block of Collins.
Officer 8: Were going to need fire rescue on a 3...
After that, paramedics and police officers scramble to one gunshot victim after another: man shot in the chest, woman shot in the arm, man shot in the hip, another woman shot in the arm. Streets are cleared, additional fire rescue units are called. Perimeters are cordoned off, SWAT is brought in, streets are blocked and witnesses are questioned.
Two of the officers involved in the shooting are transported to the hospital because the gunfire affected their hearing. No mention is made of the Hialeah officer who reported that he was struck by Herisse.
At the time of the shooting, police said Herisse ignored orders to pull over, struck a Hialeah officer and nearly struck several other officers as he sped down Collins slamming into barricades and cars. Video shot by a witness and posted on YouTube shows the car lurching down Collins amid gunfire and coming to a stop. A contingent of police officers surround the vehicle with their guns drawn and about a minute later open fire.
Herisse, 22, of Boynton Beach, was shot 16 times. Eight Miami Beach and four Hialeah officers were involved. Lawyers for the victims say the officers used excessive force. Three of them, as well as Herisses family, have filed suit against the city.
Its chilling, Porter said. But I still dont think we have the whole story of what happened.

According to a report in Germany's Bild newspaper, Red Bull's patience with engine supplier Renault is running out.
While the reigning Constructors' Champions have seemingly recovered from their disastrous pre-season tests, Red Bull advisor Dr Helmut Marko insists that Renault's power unit isn't performing as they expected.
Marko claims that much of Red Bull's improvement in the last couple of weeks is due to a crisis meeting that took place at Renault's headquarters in Viry, where engineers from the Milton Keynes as well as Toro Rosso were present.
Nevertheless, Marko says that Red Bull's patience with Renault is slowly running out.
"If there is no noticeable improvement in two or three months, we will definitely be talking about an alternative," said Marko, a close friend Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, told Bild.
He added that Red Bull are working on ways in which to compensate for the 80 horse power advantage Mercedes have over them, but admitted that a more likely scenario would be Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg taking points off each other.
"We cannot put additional horse power in the engine ourselves," Marko added.
"But we can hope for trouble between Rosberg and Hamilton and drive past them."

United for Care, the campaign to put a medical marijuana petition on the Florida ballot, just surpassed the total number of verified petition signatures it needs to qualify for the ballot.
According to data provided by the Florida secretary of state, the campaign has -- as of as of Friday afternoon -- 710,508 verified signatures, surpassing the 683,149 total needed. The state notes that these 'verified totals' are still unofficial until the initiative receives certification and a ballot number.
Attorney John Morgan who has led the push for medical marijuana, was confident in an interview today with us in Orlando.
"The time is now. It works," said Morgan. "It's going to have an impact positively. It's going to cut down on crime. There's going to be a tax base. It's going to increase real estate. It's all win/ All you have to do is look at other states where it's been enacted"
The Florida Supreme Court still has to approve or reject the wording of the ballot question.

Perfect for our time in Barcelona
Fantastic property - immaculate, everything we needed. Quiet safe location out of the hustle of the main drag yet not too far from anything. Amenities and facilities were great. Fredrick the owner met us on arrival as promised and gave us all the tips on what to see and how to get there, along with great restaurants. Quality furnishings throughout. Minor problem with Kettle but owner will get this addressed. If I were to be picky, it would have been nice to have a washing machine in the apartment, but that's just being picky. There is a good supermarket near the apartment and the beach / port area is within walking distance. We really could have stayed a week longer to get the full benefit of Barcelona, amazing place, cheap and friendly oozing with history and fun. MUST see big ticket items - Sagrada Familia (book online before you get there), Camp Nou, hop on hop off bus is good value.

Now browsing: Hometown News > Election > St. Lucie County
By Dawn Krebs
ST. LUCIE COUNTY - Residents will see some familiar faces in the Nov. 6 election when it comes to County Commissioner District 1 seat.
Incumbent Chris Dzadovsky is facing off against Robert Benton, who currently is mayor of Fort Pierce.
Hometown News asked the candidates the same questions about their campaigns. Their answers are below in alphabetical order.
Hometown News does not endorse any candidates for political office, but instead provides information about each candidate for voters to make an educated decision.
Name: Robert Benton
Occupation: Fort Pierce mayor
Family: Donna, wife of 31 years, two sons, Kadri, 27, and Kori, 23 and family pet Doberman, Roxanne.
Name: Christopher Dzadovsky
Occupation: St. Lucie County Commissioner
Family: I am one of seven children of my parents, Irene Marie and Michael, and I am engaged to Lisa Jackson.
Q: How long have you lived in St. Lucie County?
Benton: 45 years.
Dzadovsky: I first came to St. Lucie County in 1994 as a frequent visitor and then moved here full time in 2003.
Q: Why should voters choose you?
Benton: My experience and passion to pursue various opportunities to improve St. Lucie County; my interactions with citizens, small businesses and local municipalities, and our visitors and community as a whole make me the choice. I also have been a local business owner for more than 25 years. I have spent 17 years on the Fort Pierce City Commission, eight years as a District 2 commissioner and nine years as the mayor. I have the ability to place people over politics, and am a husband and father who knows what's at stake for the future of St. Lucie County. I have Christian values that will bring honesty, integrity and common sense back to District 1.
Dzadovsky: I am a full-time commissioner. I have an associate's degree in business from Indian River State College, and am a candidate for a second degree, an associate's in political science. I have completed both the Florida Association of Counties certified commissioner and advance commissioner certifications over the last four years.
I have made substantial contributions and difficult decisions that have helped right-size county government and set the stage top recover from the recession while maintaining quality of life in St. Lucie County.
I believe I bring a balanced, well-educated, well-researched approach to all matters of policy at the county.
I have a lifetime of experience from creating successful businesses to taking over nonprofits with large debt and little revenue, and being able to restructure those entities to profitability. Over the last four years, I have been part of the largest restructuring of St. Lucie County government, by developing policy that has responded to an $11 billion reduction in property values and subsequent tax revenue by restructuring county departments from 20 down to nine while maintaining county services.
The promises I made in 2008 have been kept and accomplished.
Q: What are the top two issues you wish to see addressed?
Benton: Financial challenges that come from unemployment, underemployment and the rising cost of living, including leaps in consumer prices and insurance such as health, home and life. And with those challenges, the inability for government to effectively provide necessary services without adding to this financial burden, which are currently complicating the simplest transactions with government, such as business tax licenses, building permits, code violations, park hours and public facility management.
In short, government efficiency and community coordination to help local businesses to open and expand, and an effort to achieve quality and sustainable economic development. St. Lucie County has many resources that need to be used to benefit our citizens.
Dzadovsky: The first is he unsettled federal and state governments that have given major corporations pause, which has led to the corporations hoarding cash and not investing in expanding operations or hiring employees. This ultimately affects the unemployment rate here in St. Lucie County.
The second most important issue is the continued unfunded mandates that are passed down to county taxpayers from the state legislature.
In the recent past, the state has passed $9 million in costs to the sheriff's office for probation issues. The state passed legislation to reduce jail inmate costs to the same rate that state pays, at 110 percent the Medicaid rate, while leaving counties to negotiate on their own. St. Lucie County only recently was able to reduce the Medicaid rate from 400 percent to 200 percent, which was costing local taxpayers on average $5 million a year.
Additionally and most recently, is the demand by the state for the county to pay the state $11.9 million for Medicare costs. This is because the state agency has poor record-keeping practices, no because the county owes the bill. The county has all of the records, which indicate the total cost to taxpayers is only $3.6 million. We reject the demand by the state agency.
As you can see, these costs being passed down to local taxpayers could, and have, affected the budget by $25.9 million. The entire county administration budget is only $39 million today.
Q: If you could, what would be the one thing you would change in the county and why?
Benton: Address the increasing deficit and continued depletion of taxpayers' reserves. Common sense and business sense need to be used in making decisions that affect all of our county residences.
Over the last four years, the county has been absent from pursuing economic development within District 1. The port area of Fort Pierce has the potential to bring in hundreds of good, environmentally friendly jobs by supporting the marine and mega-yacht industry. I have been working diligently to bring marine industry and want to continue in the District 1 seat to achieve these community efforts.
The Indian River Lagoon is an attraction that needs to be preserved while embracing the possibilities. As a county commissioner, I will be able to direct the undeveloped port land to promote development of a world-class yachting and marine center, along with supporting businesses similar to the Lauderdale marine center.
Dzadovsky: Although the change would have to happen at the state level, I would make a complete overhaul of the state's ad valorem tax calculation to make the process fair and equitable to all property owners.
The current system leaves open the adjustment of the millage rate which, when created, was supposed to decrease the millage rates when property values increased, and raise the millage rate when values fell.
This was designed to maintain a reasonable collection of tax revenue to address increases in services, population and new service requests from local residents.
Some elected officials want you to believe that all millage rate increases are tax increases and that is a total falsehood. If values reduce and millage stayed the same, the taxing authority would not bring in more revenue than the previous year.
The definition of a tax increase is when the taxing authority collects more revenue than the previous year. St. Lucie County has not collected more tax revenue than the previous year in any of the four years I have been in office.

I was here in the pretty meadow and Laurent was standing right in front of me. Victoria ..... I heard his voice in my head, but I could not outrun a vampire nor fight. And he had been on the hunt, typical me being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hated to beign the center of attention, it was never good.
While my mind was spinning in despair he grabbed my sweaty hand.
"Bella, you are so mouthwatering, Victoria will find someone else to take revenge on."
I shivered while he moved my hand towards his pale lips. I could see the battle which took place in his eyes. Was their any hope at all. "Laurent..." I whispered "She will come after you ... please ..." But before I could say anything more he put his feezing finger on my dry lips.
"Bella, Bella I won't hurt you. It will be over soon I promise." He held my hand against his smooth cheek "You're so soft Bella. So warm."
He turned my wrist around smoothly and whispered "Soon Bella soon"
His lips moved towards my wrist, I felt something. Like little needles puncturing through my delicate skin. As he raised his head in disbelief, I followed his movement. Out of the green bushes came a wolf, a huge black wolf. In his trail I saw more big wolves.
Suddenly Laurent turned around and took off like a flash. The huge black wolf followed him after making a low rumbling noice. The reddish brown wolf stayed behind with me, looking at me. He watched me as if he was in dispelief and puzzlement
I started stumbling backwards with a first hint of fire buring in my hand. I looked down cautiously and realized I had a blood ridden bitemark on my wrist. That's when I started running, I needed to get away from him.
That's when I heard his silky voice again "Stay on your feet Bella, you need to keep going" And all I could do was scream "I know". My hand being eaten by fire.
Just one second later I sat on the back of the reddish brown wolf, my fingers grabbing in to his thick fur. After a few senseless minutes I could hear someone calling my name. "Mom...." I whispered. But that made no sensce, unless Charlie had called her. I focused on the sound ... "Alice" I wispered .... "Alice, Alice" I started yelling. As if the wolf knew what I was stating he started running even faster. No, no was all I could think, I want to be here with Alice and I thew myself to the damp leaf ridden ground. "Alice!!!"

Choosing a New Everton Crest
Crest A
Crest B
Crest C
Terms and Conditions
It is almost 25 years since Everton last tasted title glory – and that memorable 1986/87 season is celebrated in a new souvenir magazine out now.
Written by the Club, the 84-page special looks back on a glorious campaign when the First Division trophy was wrestled back from the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool.
Everton fans need no reminding that the Reds had won the double the season before, but the 86/87 campaign saw the Blues rightly regain their crown and taste title glory once more.
We meet key performers from a brilliant production, with exclusive insights from the likes of Howard Kendall, manager as the Toffees won their second title in three years.
Kendall's assistant Colin Harvey also gives his viewpoint on the season. He recalls the day he knew the trophy was coming home – when Everton won at Arsenal and Liverpool lost at home to Wimbledon.
He said: "That was a defining moment that season. I knew when Wayne Clarke's goal went in that we'd have more than a chance of winning the championship."
There's also the views of a whole host of other key men as captain Kevin Ratcliffe, Dave Watson, Paul Power, Derek Mountfield, Neville Southall, Bobby Mimms, Adrian Heath, Graham Sharp, Wayne Clarke, Neil Adams, Kevin Langley, Trevor Steven, Peter Reid, Kevin Sheedy, Terry Darracott and then-chairman Sir Philip Carter give their unique take on Everton's magnificent achievement.
As well as all this, we look back on the day the title was clinched - Bank Holiday Monday, 4 May 1987. It was an afternoon that those who were there will never forget - and Toffees supporters and the players reminisce about the memorable journey home from Norfolk celebrating the championship crown.
The publication comes with the official DVD of the 1986/87 season and is priced £6.99. It is available to buy from Everton One, Everton Two and all good retail outlets. Or it can be purchased online here.

Lindsay Lohan expressed joy after her latest movie, "The Canyons," finally landed a cinema distribution deal amid fears the film was heading straight to DVD.
Bing: More on 'The Canyons'
The erotic thriller, written by 'American Psycho' author Bret Easton Ellis, was on the verge of becoming a major flop when it was denied screening slots at a number of film festivals last year, with organizers of Texas' South by Southwest (SXSW) rejecting it over "quality issues."
However, executives at IFC Films have now acquired the North American rights to the movie and are making plans to release it in cinemas this summer, prompting a delighted response from Lohan.
In a post on Twitter, she writes, "Yay! For The Canyons and thank you to IFC!!!!"
"Finally the movie will be able to be seen, and viewers can judge for themselves rather than relying on the undeservedly snarky press 'The Canyons' has received so far," Ellis said in a statement. 'The Canyons,' regardless of what you think of it, is an example of the next step in what will now be the future of post-theatrical feature-length content."

I've been trying to make this point for a while, but the main impediment to forming a consensus on a plan to reduce the deficit is that most conservatives don't actually want to reduce the deficit. What they want is lower taxes. That's why Ronald Reagan and George W Bush both increased the deficit and it's why conservatives tell pollsters they don't care about the deficit: "Fifty percent (50%) of conservatives are comfortable with a budget deficit if taxes are cut versus 63% of liberals who favor a balanced budget with higher taxes."

Holiday party givers can use all the help they can get. That's where you come in, dear invited guest. Bringing a dish to pass is not only a way to defray costs and join in the giving, it's an opportunity to show your culinary prowess or to share a treasured family classic.
Before you get to cooking, ask your host or hostess if they have a food category in mind: entrée, side dish, salad, dessert?
Most likely you already know which of your recipes are most pleasing to the most amount of people. It's a good idea to keep in mind quantity as well as quality. This is the time for a good and tasty dish that feeds a crowd. Important rule of thumb: Use the nice stuff and dress up your platters or serving bowls with garnish. Even a bunch of fresh, washed parsley can flatter a serving dish.
You may want to think versatility as well. Spoon corn bread is a versatile dish that fits a number of categories.Posole is a rich, thick Mexican stew that is made in one pot, can feed a crowd and is easy to transport.
The American Heart Association's "One Dish Meals" cook book offers a Chipotle Pork Posole you'd be proud to add to any potluck table.
Spoon Corn Bread
8-10 servings
1 8.5 ounce package corn muffin mix
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sour cream (you can use reduced fat)
1 stick butter, melted
1 small can corn niblets, drained
1 small can cream corn
1 cup shredded Swiss Cheese
Mix all ingredients up to but not including the cheese in an 11-by-7-inch or an 8- by-8-by-2-inch baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes (until lightly browned on top). Remove from oven, top with shredded Swiss Cheese, continue to bake until cheese melts and knife inserted in center is fairly clean.
249 calories per serving; 9 fat grams
Chipotle Pork Posole
Serves 4 (double recipe for a pot luck)

When employing an inbound marketing strategy for your business, the first thing you should do is ensure that your website is more than just a website. It should be a hub. By making your website a hub I mean it should be dynamic and engaging, it should link with other areas of your online presence and it should encourage interaction. By doing this, you will make your website and your business more interesting. The more interesting you are, the more people will return.
But how do you compell people enough to come back? How do you create a hub? I'm going to offer you a few tips on exactly how to do this.
Before turning your website into a hub, you should make sure that it's simple. Keep the navigation simplistic, use simple layouts, embrace whitespace and avoid unnecessary graphics. Ensure the key information a visitor wants to know is there when they land on your home page. If a site is unsightly, people won't come back. If the design is nice and easy to navigate, it leaves a good impression with those visitors.
One of the first ways to turn your site more into a hub is by incorporating a blog. A blog helps make your website dynamic and improves its SEO. This is because Google rewards fresh, valuable content. It also creates a place for people to interact with your brand, comment and share your content.
Build your business's social presence and you'll guarantee an increase of traffic and return visitors to your site. Networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are great places to start, each with their own unique benefits.
Most importantly, though, social networks can be integrated with your site in both ways. You can provide links back to your site through your social network pages, and also embed social sharing buttons and follow buttons on the pages of your website. A great place to include social sharing buttons is on every blog post you make.
A weekly or fortnightly email to your subscribers is a great way to expose them to updates that have occurred on your site. Maybe it's a series of new blogs or a brand new ebook that may just interest them.
The other part of your email marketing strategy is to nurture the leads you earn from conversions (e.g. those who provide their email to you in exchange for an offer such as an ebook or webinar). Through lead nurturing, you can move them further down the sales funnel and also become more personal with them.
Maybe you can inspire them to reconvert or check out a new blog entry. If you've really been nurturing a lead well, you may even get that long earned sale from them.
What methods do you use to ensure people return to your website? Share your tips with us in the comments below.

A woman was walking her dog in Birmingham, MI when her dog stopped to do his business on a lawn.
The woman says the homeowner ran outside and picked it up and flung it at her, without even giving her a chance to pick up the waste.
She says the homeowner also swore at her telling her to get off his property.
The homeowner's wife, Tracey Wolfe, says her husband, Eric, would have never thrown anything at a woman. She believes he meant to throw the waste into the street but it somehow hit her.
A neighbor filed a police report in 2012 after Eric threatened to poison her dogs and throw pepper at them, but Tracey says she doesn't believe it, saying they are "good citizens."
A witness driving by called police and the woman walking her dog is now pressing charges.
Police say they are taking the incident seriously and expect assault and battery charges to be filed next week.

The whole concept of any class action suit floors me. Sure, I may get a portion of what I paid for the game back.. but that "Texas Hammer" lawyer gets the remainder of what I don't get in lawyer fees. And that is multiplied by every individual that is part of the suit.
This is a true example of lawyers being the only winner here.
zubbiefish said...
The concept of a class action is to allow a potentially large number of claimants to find restitution without cluttering up courts with an unreasonable number of suits all claiming the same thing.
If 5,000 people are affected by the same thing, say a cancer drug that ends up passing approval but causes blindness, is it a better solution to tie up one court for each person's claim, or one for all the claims?
From your comment, you seem to believe that there are lawyers getting a portion of each claimants settlement, and that's not really how it works. Though, it is how it would work if there were an individual claim made for each affected person.
The idea of a class action suit is what lawsuits are supposed to do: hold violators accountable. They're not supposed to make anyone rich, they're supposed to redress wrongs. Certainly they make some law firms money, but as we live in a world of byzantine legal codes, I don't see a lot of other options. Lawyers are going to get their cut. Class action lawsuits aren't going anywhere unless someone has a better alternative.

Comments On Oct 22, 2012:This product works perfectly for cleaning my dirt bike after every few rides. I simply hose down my whole bike, spray grez off everywhere that is dirty, and after sitting for a few minutes I hose it off again and all the dirt and oil washes off with ease. It even gets my scratched white plastics clean with no scrubbing and makes all the aluminum shiny again. overall great product just a bit pricey.

Forever Dangerous is my personal homage to the King of Pop. It is a live Michael Jackson concert experience that is much more than a typical "tribute". It is based on my real life and time on the road as lead guitarist for Michael Jackson's Bad, Dangerous and HIStory world tours and 1993 Super Bowl XXVII halftime show.
As we have developed Forever Dangerous over the past year, we have received such overwhelming interest that we made the decision to widen the scope of the show to the level of a full touring production complete with state of the art sound, lighting and special effects.
To help realize this dream we have joined forces with renowned lighting/production designer Marc Brickman. Marc is a legend in the industry and has designed amazing shows for the likes of Paul McCartney, Cirque Du Soleil and Pink Floyd. His extensive knowledge and experience will enable us to create a state-of-the-art special effects and multimedia stage design that the show deserves and the fans expect.
The associated costs to achieve this level of production requires us to secure additional funding. Instead of seeking traditional entertainment industry backing that I believe would compromise the creative control and overall integrity of the show, we have instead opted to come directly to the fans.
For this reason we have launched a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter and our own Forever Dangerous website. My hope is that Michael's fans around the world have faith in me to make Forever Dangerous a show we can all be proud of that will truly honor his amazing legacy.
Please join me to help make Forever Dangerous everything it can and should be. You will see that we have created some fantastic rewards available exclusively for everyone who pledges. And I assure you every penny we raise on Kickstarter and through our own site will be used solely for the purpose of achieving these goals and realizing my vision for Forever Dangerous.

The last issue of Sports llustrated had a great feature story from Peter King on the last NFL Championship game to be played in New York. It happened on Dec 30th 1962 and featured the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers and some of the facts from that game will give you a chuckle...
* The players wore wool long johns and kept warm with fires burning in trash cans on the sideline
* the temp was 12 and the wind gusted to 40 mph...no talk of wind chills back then
* the winners share was $6000
* the game was blacked out on New York TV
* you couldnt read about it either...the New York papers were on strike
* the Packers stayed at the Hotel Manhattan which no longer exists
* reporters rode to the game on the Team bus
* Chris Schenkel and Ray Scott called the game for NBC
* Packer O-lineman Jerry Kramer was also the teams kicker and had 3 field goals
* the halftime entertainment was the Cardinal Dougherty High School band
* most players went back to their off-season jobs after the game..Herb Adderly was a beer salesman
Vince Lombardi said after the game "I think it was about as fine a football game as I have ever seen and I think we saw football as it was meant to be played" I don't know if he was being ironic with that last part because nobody involved this week wants to recreate those conditions and yet when you hear all the whining this week about the weather..remember the guys who built this league and what they went through. No concussion protocols...very little padding and the defense could basically hit you anywhere and as hard as they could...Jerry Kramer called the 62 title game his best memory and when you read about the game you can sense the pride that these guys took in not only battling each other but the elements as well.
Congrats to Trevor Hass of the UWSp mens basketball team as he sets a new school record with 45 points in the Saturday win over La Crosse. Hass was 13-17 from the field and hit 9 three pointers. The Pointers are now 18-0 and will host Eau Claire on Wednesday.
Songs of The Day (from my I-pod)
The Mines of Mozambique-Bruce Cockburn (1996) the Canadian singer-songwriter takes on the issue of 3rd world conflict and the effects on the kids of a country like Mozambique...from his album "Charity of The Night"
Mingus Eyes-Richard Thompson (1994) another criminally unappreciated songwriter and performer. This is from an album called Mirror Blue and this version is from the Live In Austin album which is where you should start with him

Use Case - Customer Experience Management (CEM)
Most executives believe that they are providing a superior customer experience. Fact is customers are changing service providers without directly complaining due to the rapid expansion of social networking.
Customer experience stories travel fast and undetected between your existing and future customers. How would you feel when an important call is dropped or when your internet service is once again slow or not working? What insight do you have into the indicators leading to customer loyalty?
Customer Experience Design
If knowledge about your customers is not driving operational execution then the customer's perspective is missing. Customer touch point information is often embedded within systems of disjointed "big data" from your Billing, Operations, Marketing, Service Assurance and Customer Care teams.
Nexus Telecom provides systems that capture and combine various on-line network data sources providing new network-wide insights into Customer Experience and Service performance. Accessing these new insights support Customer Care in lifting customer service expectations, which is essential to enhance your positive network Operator image in today's social networking culture.

In Dark Souls you're not supposed to win, or know what's going on. You might understand things later, maybe... Or maybe you'll end up like the old Fire Keepers said you would. Dying constantly until you go hollow and give up. You could also end up like some of the NPCs. Doing the same thing over and over, and forget why you are there in the first place.

September 15, 2014 BOOKLIST
September 2014
The nerve of the man! Isabella Aldridge arrives at the earl of Hepplewood's country estate prepared to assume her duties as governess for his young daughter, Felicity. Unfortunately, the earl, Wiliam Mowbrey, has a very different position in mind for Isabella.
It was a story the media found irresistible: two transgender teens—Katie Rain Hill, an MTF transgender, and Arin Andrews, an FTM transgender—from small Oklahoma towns met against all odds and fell in love. Katie was the first to attract attention when a Tulsa newspaper did an article on her, but both teens sprang to national celebrity when the TV program Inside Edition subsequently did a feature on them. By this time, they were represented by a British media content company, and, inevitably, other media appearances followed.
Booklist has always been a strong advocate of armchair travel—not that we pooh-pooh actually traveling with plane tickets and hotel reservations in hand—and to that end, we present here the best of travel literature reviewed in Booklist from September 15, 2013, to September 1, 2014.
The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos. By Patrick Leigh Fermor. 2014. New York Review, $30 (9781590177549).
Across time, space, and trilogies, love triumphs. These romantic titles for youth were reviewed in Booklist from September 15, 2013, to September 1, 2014.
Ask Again Later. By Liz Czukas. 2014. HarperTeen, paper, $9.99 (9780062272393). Gr. 7–12.
Heart LaCoeur must decide whom to date for the prom in this choose-your-own-adventure-style romance that's pure fun.
A Blind Spot for Boys. By Justina Chen. 2014. Little, Brown, $18 (9780316102537). Gr. 10–12.
The best romance novels reviewed in Booklist between September 15, 2013, and September 1, 2014, include not only irresistible stories of obstacles to love and love's triumph but also incisive tales of exile, war, crime, and sacrifice. Ranging from serious and affecting to riotously sexy and funny, our top romances are all page-turners.
A Beauty So Rare. By Tamera Alexander. 2014. Bethany, paper, $14.99 (9780764206238); e-book, $14.99 (9781441263490).
Humankind's fascination with ball games dates back at least two millennia to the Olmecs, who made, and played with, rubber balls. (The fact that the Aztecs later sometimes paid for losses with their lives should provide some useful perspective to modern-day pros complaining about harsh treatment from the media.) With the media coverage given to football, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis, and sometimes even soccer, some days it's easy to believe we've never progressed beyond that early obsession.
