As Ed Miliband made yet another "relaunch" speech last week, I looked across the room where I was lunching and spotted a geeky-looking bloke with bog-brush hair, wearing a pristine white shirt and a red tie – his brother David, impossible to ignore. He looked too scrubbed up, a bit otherworldly. Gary Lineker was nearby, but he blended into the hustle and bustle, a regular-looking chap with a bit of a tan. What is it about the Milibandroids that sets them apart from us, no matter how often they say they understand our aspirations and our concerns?
It has been a gruelling time for Ed: even his brother says people in the party are "very frustrated". A former policy adviser thinks Labour's leader lacks direction. His sidekick Ed Balls was on the Today programme yesterday (more damage limitation) announcing Labour, too, is ready to wield the axe. John Humphrys caused the biggest stink in Ed M's week of woe, by floating the notion that Labour's leader might be handicapped by his appearance. Humphrys was referring to Robin Cook's 1994 remark, that he was "too ugly" to run as leader. Cook was witty and excellent company, but did Humphrys have a point, even if he thought it might seem crass and trivial? Do we respond positively to leaders who are pleasing on the eye?
Iain Duncan Smith and William Hague are two smart blokes who wouldn't object to being described as lacking in the looks department. The reason they were flops as leaders, though, was nothing to do with follicle failure and everything to do with presentation. I used to think IDS was on the verge of bursting into tears every time he made an important announcement. He exudes sensitivity, too much angst. Now he's championing the underclasses, a little of his misery message goes a very long way, and David Cameron has wisely sidelined him into a role out in the political boondocks. Foreign Secretary Hague has spent a lot of time changing the way he speaks to make his anodyne statements of the obvious sound important and worthy of a foothold on the world stage. Hague is an incredibly personable guy, but, like David Miliband, he doesn't play well on telly or radio, managing to sound just the slightest little bit superior and condescending, as if the interviewer's questions were insultingly facile. Churchill was no looker, but he had leadership in spades.
Ed Miliband countered that if Humphrys followed him around the country he'd see a different person. Losers like to claim that the nasty media misrepresents and trivialises them, when they are fully rounded human beings, but it won't wash. The problem with Ed is not the hair, the uncanny resemblance to Nick Park's plasticine Wallace; it's the suspicion that if you accidentally spilt a beer on him at your local, he'd come out with a soundbite that included the word "challenges". Everything about Ed is carefully assessed by spin doctors before being unleashed on the outside world – like that disastrous Christmas card on which he's wearing a nasty T-shirt.
Our most popular television shows are full of characters who have spent a huge amount of effort on their appearance, from Cheryl Cole to Katie Price and that weird Harry from TOWIE. But there are plenty of exceptions. Take the grizzled Mr Humphrys, still hosting Mastermind, and David Dimbleby on Question Time. You'd hardly call Brucie glam either, or Gregg Wallace. Of course these are blokes, and God forbid a woman of similar wrinkle count should front a flagship BBC show, but for men, at least, age and appearance have nothing to do with appeal.
Most important, leaders need to exude conviction, even when they are spouting absolute balls. Margaret Thatcher had it in spades. Gordon Brown always appeared brooding, a moping score-settler. Voters didn't warm to a man they suspected was working to his own agenda rather than for the common good, and who could not do anything as mundane as smile for the camera without looking as if he was about to have a fit. I haven't mentioned policies, because in modern politics they are not that important when it comes to winning elections. There's very little difference between the parties.
Sadly for Ed, he exudes desperation, and that's never an appealing quality in any man.
Madge wants publicity? Well, here's a little more
It was a week for headline-grabbing Madonna soundbites. Promoting her film W.E. about a spoilt, unattractive British royal and a US divorcee most of her fans have never heard of, Madge has been giving carefully stage-managed interviews. The story of a love affair played out decades before she was born, involving an abdication, is not an easy concept to get across to a generation used to messaging and downloads. The result has been a masterclass in PR. The fact that the film was poorly received when it premiered in Venice, and then re-edited, has been forgotten.
First, motivation. Madge told Radio Times she made the film because she found herself "in a strange world" after her marriage to Guy Ritchie ended. Next, obsession. In The Sunday Times, Madge revealed that she lives near Wallis Simpson's old apartment, and used to stand outside imagining the king driving up daily for cocktails. Then, commitment. Madge lent the movie her jewellery and furniture. Finally, she tells Graham Norton that she dreams of being swept off her feet by a knight in shining armour. Result – pages of quotes the day after the premiere. Job done.
Knocking spots off Fassbender
Steve McQueen's film Shame is a joyless experience, although the artistry of McQueen is evident in every frame. The unlikeable characters have no backstory, no context and few aspirations. Michael Fassbender is brilliant, but by the end, you think: "Why did I bother?"
Critics often cite Damien Hirst as the master of the superficial. Last week, his Spot paintings opened in 11 Gagosian galleries worldwide: Hirst and his assistants have completed over 1,500 Spot paintings. One critic called them "as unsatisfying as cigarettes, calming but addictive".
I get more joy eating breakfast contemplating my Hirst Spot print than from hours staring at Fassbender's naked backside.
That's not stress – it's fussing
Last week, research showed that shop workers made to smile and tell customers to "have a nice day" can end up emotionally exhausted. Another study claimed some users are so addicted to their iPhones and BlackBerrys that stress levels soar and they experience "phantom vibrations", imagining the device is buzzing in their pocket. Even meeting by the photocopier is fraught.
One council worker took time off for stress after a workmate placed his hands on her shoulders in what he claimed was "a friendly gesture". Her complaint was upheld, and the chap underwent diversity-and-equality training. When I wrote that the definition of depression had become too broad, Alastair Campbell went ballistic. Surely we can all agree that the word "stress" can be made to cover almost anything.Reuse content

In Neurobiology, students investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie behavior. We study the nervous system at every level: from the macroscopic (behavior and cognition) to the microscopic (cells and molecules). Consequently, the questions that neurobiologists ask are wide-ranging: how do electrical and molecular signals allow neurons to process and transmit information from the environment? What guides the development of the immense number of precise connections in the nervous system? How can the complex signals of many thousands of active neurons be recorded and interpreted? What causes the profound behavioral deficits in Alzheimers disease or Autism Spectrum Disorders?
Students who study Neurobiology go on to careers in dozens of different fields (see our careers page): including medicine, research, law, consulting, teaching, media/writing, and much more. The concentration advisors are available to help you find courses that match the skills and knowledge you want to acquire. For example, if you're interested in Computational Neurobiology, the following courses will fulfill Neuro requirements:
- Math: Math 21a and b (multi-variable and linear algebra),
- Related Fields: Stats 110 (statistics), CS 50, 51/61 (basic programming)
- Advanced Neuro Electives: three of the following computational neurobiology courses: MCB 131, 115, 105, Psych 1401, 1452, Physics 141.

Athletes' fear of failure likely to lead to 'choke,' study shows
Anxiety about a competitive situation makes even the most physically active of us more likely to slip-up -- and backs up 'catastrophe theory,' research shows. "Our research indicates that heightened cognitive anxiety, brought on by the competitive scenario, really does affect performance abilities in physically active people -- and the same is likely to apply even for trained athletes," a researcher said.

Yes, would love some of those stones. Expect it hasn't changed much
since you were there or even since my daughter was there and I have
not been back since she graduated. Have no idea about the
Latin...now you mention it, don't know as I ever got a good look at
that diploma other than in a rolled up state with a ribbon around it,
clutched in the hand of the graduate:-)
It was expensive and probably is more now:-) But, as you say, a good
school and one of the oldest. Also a small school, which I think a
good thing from a learning standpoint. All in all, we were quite
satisfied with it and I think my daughter's time there was well
spent; she liked it.

A no-nonsense, high-end performance drum set at a mid-range price.
The Mars Series Shell Pack offers 100% birch, 6-ply and 7.2mm shells with shallow depths complete with the SONIClear bearing edge, producing a fast and clear tone with a quick stick rebound. The SONIClear bearing edge allows for the direct transmission of sound, reduces unwanted frequencies and provides a strong fundamental pitch and an effortless tuning experience especially at lower tunings.
The SONIClear tom suspension and floor tom feet (simiar to the Saturn IV system) increase overall resonance by preserving vibration in the shell and keeping stress away from the tension rods, helping the heads stay in tune. Additionally, the 2-up and 1-down configuration keeps all the toms within easy reach while the extra deep bass drum produces a powerful, yet naturally equalized tone.
Additionally, a matching Mars Snare Drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack.
- Bass Drum(s):22" x 18"

Comments about Mapex Mars 5-Piece Rock Shell Pack:
I play a lot of punk rock and I pretty much love this kit because of the sound. The toms sound great even without puting effort in tuning it. The kick drum has a nice boom sound to it perfect for my style of music. i really like the smaller tom (forgot tge size) it has this overtone that rings but not too much, but just perfect. I got mine in Nightwood and i love the way it looks. Toms also have that thing where it kinda bounces when u hit them reducing the vibration, maintaining the quality of the sound. Ill change my drums heads to Evans though. All in all I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Happy I got this kit!

Comments about Mapex Mars 5-Piece Rock Shell Pack:
I wanted to get this kit, but the finishes (all of them) are ugly and cheap looking. I prefer lacquer, but would have bought, if they looked good. I know looks aren't as important as sound, but I couldn't spend money on something so ugly. That being said, they sound nice.

Comments about Mapex Mars 5-Piece Rock Shell Pack:
The new Mapex Mars is the most feature-packed, best looking, best sounding, best built kit in it's price range. It easily competes with higher end kits for pure sound. The combination of 100% birch shells and the new Soniclear Bearing Edge produce a thick, punchy, and deep tone with an incredibly broad tuning range and controlled sustain. The drum/hardware color combinations, the new Saturn style "shield" lugs, the Soniclear Bearing Edge and Soniclear Tom Mounts are killer. If you're considering a PDP Concept, Tama Silverstar, or Pearl Export, check these out.

Zope 3.4 Now Egg-Based
The new version of the Python content management system (CMS) has split its source code into separate packages, called eggs.
The separation of Zope sources into eggs should provide users and developers more independence, hence a new download version with so-called known good sets (KGSs). A KGS is a configuration of packages proven to work well together. Along with this the Zope Foundation made a "renewed commitment" to update its CMS every six months.
New to Zope is also the jquery JavaScript library that simplifies HTML page interactions, such as text windows at a mouse click, for which the jQuery website provides an example. The library comes under MIT or GPL licensing. Zope 3.4 includes a Python-layer package for jquery.
The new Zope requires Python 2.4 or 3.5 to run and zlib installed. The download package on the new KGS webpage takes up about 7 MBytes, with an additional source version. Zope 3.4 contains a few BSD-licensed modules and is under Zope Public License (ZPL), which is GPL-compatible to allow redistribution with a retained copyright notice and change notification.

Limbaugh column
Except for the usual histrionics, hyperbole and hysteria, David Limbaugh's mega-length paean to remain true to conservative principles in light of Mitt Romney's shellacking was puzzling only in the sense that he, paradoxically, issued a clarion call for a new game plan.
Leaf pickup
It would be helpful if the city could post the area of town receiving leaf collection each week so residents have some idea of when to have their leaves at the curb. Perhaps this information could be listed in the newspaper each Monday. It is futile raking to the curb days or weeks in advance of collection as the wind blows them into the street. Some bit of notice would be quite helpful. I certainly appreciate that the city will now be collecting multiple times.
Hannity, immigration
Wouldn't it be something if, because he has "evolved" on the immigration issue, we see a right-wing ostracism of Sean Hannity?
Fiscal cliff
Republican Congress members still are at it telling their lies. A senior Republican senator voiced confidence Sunday that U.S. lawmakers would forge a deal on the year-end "fiscal cliff," while a top aide to President Barack Obama signaled a willingness to compromise over raising tax rates on the rich. Since most are millionaires themselves, they are not going to raise taxes.
Stop laughing
It seems that a common jab for Missourians is to laugh at Illinois for their "fiscal troubles." Missouri, before we speak, we need to understand the fact that we take more federal tax dollars than we pay in. Illinois, on the other hand, pays way more than it takes from the feds. In a way, Illinois is subsidizing our financial stability. Maybe we shouldn't laugh so hard at them.
Signage lingo
"Wayfinding signage system." Wow. And to think we used to say "signs that tell you where to go." How boring compared to the new lingo.
Limbaugh show
Isn't it time the networks pull Rush Limbaugh's "talk" (more like bellow) show? Enough is enough. It is, it would seem unpatriotic to rant and rave about our President the way he does. Can't someone stop this man and the other ranters and ravers like Karl Rove, Donald Trump, etc.? I guess money talks and it certainly is the case here. It is highly disrespectful.
City issues
I sent the mayor an email that the drainage ditch behind our neighborhood needed to be cleaned out. It is stopped up with logs, trees and brush, including a pallet that is on city right of way property as the old sewer line is there. I was told they couldn't do anything as they couldn't get on private property. It sure is strange that they could redo the ditch on Dorothy Street that runs along the neighbor's property. Also around all the businesses at Beaver Creek and Mount Auburn.
Charen column
To read the recriminations of columnist Mona Charen is a good reminder that the Republican Party remains in a state of double-downed denial.

Sounds like you have medical providers who are advocating for you. You may need to hire a lawyer who is familiar as we are with filing a notice with the insurer to give them notice that they are not dealing with you in good faith. You will need to make sure that you have given the carrier all the information to conclude that your claim exceeds the available coverage. If the carrier disagrees you must indicate how they have failed to resolve your claim when they should have and could have and give them an additional 60 days to cure. It may take litigation to resolve.
As everyone has been quick to point out, hire an attorney. Ultimately you may simply have to file suit. All too often these days litigation is required to maximize your recovery. Insurance carriers like to hold on to their money for as long as possible.
You see? This is what we see in just about every personal injury case; but all the public ever hears about is tort reform propaganda that is spouted by the insurance lobby, the chambers of commerce, the pharmaceutical companies, and yes the Republicans whom they help to put in office. Insurers cry poor while earning record profits, running ads for auto insurance on TV ad nauseum (slight pun there), and lobbying away our rights one by one. Caps on damages, limits on whom you can see for medical treatment after an auto collision, torturous examinations under oath and "independent" medical evaluations with doctors chosen by the insurers (gee, I wonder what their opinion wil be), etc. Its disgusting; and people need to know the truth about how insurers really act.

Now that I've had my rant, let me offer you some words of wisdom for when you actually get your case resolved. Money without a purpose finds a way of getting spent; so BEFORE you settle your case, you need to do some planning and earmark some funds for future medical care (maybe even a Special Needs Trust, especially if you're intersted in being qualified for Medicaid benefits), life insurance on the family breadwinner, retirement, college funds for one or more children, etc. Whatever is important to you, this is an opportunity to address one or more financial goals. We've all heard about athletes or celebrities who lost it all. Well, it happens to personal injury victims, too. Don't be victimized twice by failing to plan.
Great answer and excellent advice!
Insurance companies owe a legal duty to their insureds to act in good faith when resolving claims. If an accident has caused you the medical problems you describe, you should speak to an injury lawyer at once.
Best bet is to get representation from a local Pensacola personal injury lawyer to get you maximum compensation. Use Avvo's "find a lawyer" tool.
Hire a local Personal Injury attorney and let him/her deal with the insurance company while you focus on getting healthy.

You need to get an experienced attorney to assist you with your claim.

Please contact a qualified injury attorney in your area to assist you immediately. There is too much at stake to go without legal representation.
Hire an attorney to help you.You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property.

I obviously don't have the benefit of having reviewed all of your medical records, history, etc., but if the accident is the cause of the injuries you describe, and an uninsured or underinsured motorist was at fault, then your insurer is pulling a classic lowball offer. An aggressive attorney will re-demand the policy limits while filing a Notice of Civil Remedies (again, assuming after a review of everything that your case merits such action). If the insurer does not cure, then a jury trial may be necessary to seek your full measure of damages. If an excess verdict is obtained, then you may have a bad faith claim which could lead to an amount in excess of the policy limits. There are far too many issues here for you to try to handle this on your own, and you do need to get in to an attorney as soon as possible. Best of luck.
DISCLAIMER: Attorney Scott McPherson is a sole practitioner representing injured persons in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. He has extensive litigation experience in State and Federal Court, and has argued before Florida's appellate courts. Answers provided by Attorney McPherson are not to be deemed legal advice, as it would be impossible to analyze the merits of a case based on a single forum question. No attorney-client relationship is created or implied by Attorney McPherson's responses.
If you do not have one already, you must retain a personal injury attorney to protect and advocate for your rights. Based on the $50,000 policy limits and the nature of the insurance company's low-offer, it is very likely you will need to file a lawsuit against your uninsured motorist carrier in order to try to recover the full value of your damages. You will need not only an attorney to effectively pursue a lawsuit, but you will need an personal injury litigation attorney who can step up against the insurance company on your behalf. As there are a multitude of issues to consider, use Avvo to find a qualified personal injury litigation attorney to advocate on your behalf. I hope you are receiving the appropriate medical care to help you deal with your injuries and I wish you the best of luck in working to improve your condition.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask for free written information about the lawyer's or law firm's qualifications and experience.
You need an attorney. It is almost impossible to get fair compensation when you go up against an insurance company by yourself. It sounds like you are dealing with an unreasonable adjuster. Once you hire a good lawyer, put the case into suit, and demonstrate to the insurance company that you are willing to try the case and they will lose, only then will they come to the plate and pay out for all your harms and losses.
Sue. Of course, for that you need an attorney.

Higher Ground is an American-Canadian drama television series created by Michael Braverman and Matthew Hastings. The convention-breaking series follows a group of at-risk teenagers attending Mount Horizon High School, a therapeutic boarding school, as they brave the difficulties, failures, and triumphs of their personal struggles with addiction, abuse, and disorders.
Higher Ground first premiered in the U.S on the Fox Family network on January 14, 2000. Although praised and well-rated, Higher Ground was cancelled after its first season due to the sale of its broadcast network the same year. The show was part of a production company that did not make it to the new network.[1]
Located high in the mountains of the Northwestern United States and 25 miles from the nearest town, Mount Horizon High School is a harbor for at-risk teenagers from their tempestuous pasts. The series focuses on one group of teens, the Cliffhangers, who, with the aid of school counselors and each other, watch their lives change as they learn to overcome their fears and face the trials and tribulations of their inner demons. Setting the kids through their paces, not only giving them a normal high school education, but also a rigorous schedule of outdoor activities and the tools they need in the aftermath of their abuse, gives the students the confidence to face their personal struggles. While navigating perilous action sequences, friendships, and romantic entanglements, the students (and some teachers) find Mount Horizon's world much safer than their turbulent home lives have been.
The students tackle issues such as drugs, depression, sexual, physical and verbal abuse, self-mutilation, eating disorders, gang violence, neglect, and suicide attempts.
- Scott Barringer (portrayed by Hayden Christensen)
Scott is a smart 16-year-old football star who plays the piano and excels in athletics. Scott is the only child of divorced parents. When Scott was 15, his father married a young woman who was closer to his age than her husband's. This new stepmother began sexually abusing Scott. Scared of what his father's reaction might be if the abuse was revealed, Scott immersed himself in drugs and his life fell into a downward spiral. His school work suffered and he was thrown off the football team, endangering his future as a college athlete. As a last resort, his father decided to send him to Horizon. As the "new kid" at Horizon, Scott begins to discover the stories of his classmates, as well as learn how to deal with his past.
- Shelby Merrick (portrayed by A. J. Cook)
The daughter of a neglectful and abusive mother and step-father, Shelby began running away from home at the age of 13. Living on the streets and always on the run, Shelby turned to prostitution as means of survival, and began abusing drugs. Regardless of Shelby's lengths, her mother eventually located her and took her home. However, upon finding that she could no longer control Shelby, nor help her with her emotional problems, Shelby's mother sent her daughter to Mount Horizon. At Horizon, Shelby has a bitter and sarcastic attitude, taking her pain out on others and creating several negative relationships with many students. Despite the attempts of Horizon's counselors, Shelby refuses to reveal the secrets she has kept that are not documented in her files.
- Katherine "Kat" Ann Cabot (portrayed by Kandyse McClure)
Katherine is an African American, adopted child of white parents. Even though she was always aware of her adoption, a sense of alienation set in as she grew older, and Katherine felt she didn't fit in or belong. That confusion caused her grades to slip and for her to withdraw from her talents as a gifted athlete. The accidental death of Katherine's sister, Shannon, the biological daughter of her adoptive parents, contributed to her lapse into depression. Sent by her parents to Horizon, Katherine is the oldest of the Cliffhangers, often acting as a mother-figure and form of guidance to her younger classmates. However, Katherine learns that she cannot always have the Cliffhangers leaning on her for support, and that she sometimes needs to rely on others for help.
- Augusto "Auggie" Ciceros (portrayed by Jorgito Vargas, Jr.)
Auggie came to Horizon to avoid a Youth Authority lockup. The youngest of five children, Auggie grew up in a middle class home on the fringe of the barrio. Although not a gang member, he was a tagger and had gained an impressive reputation. Eventually he was busted, but the court took mercy on Auggie who, at 16, could barely read or write. All through school, he was placed in educable mentally handicapped classes even though he was actually very intelligent. Adjudicated to Horizon, Auggie's teachers there realized the real problem: profound dyslexia. Although good-natured, Auggie often finds himself in bouts of anger and conflict with both himself and other students at Horizon. Auggie struggles with self-confidence, regularly believing himself to be stupid and a lost cause, and must begin to understand that his educational difficulties do not have to define who he is.
- Juliette Waybourne (portrayed by Meghan Ory)
Hiding her depression behind a façade of smiles forced upon her by her emotionally abusive and distant mother, Juliette is often referred to as "Princess" and "Queenie" by Shelby, which is derived from her appearance and behavior, and "Twig" by the rest of the Cliffhangers, due to her weight. Growing up, Juliette, continually assaulted and abused herself with such means as bulimia and self-mutilation. Juliette's narcissistic mother, who has had many husbands over the years, consistently verbally and emotionally abused Juliette during her youth. Unable to achieve the standards set by her mother, nor control any other aspect of her life, Juliette chose physically destructive measures to get the love and attention she craved. After she was sent to the hospital emergency room twice, where she had tubes forced down her throat as a result of abusing laxatives, Juliette was brought to Mount Horizon. Naive and kindhearted, but sometimes shallow and bratty, Juliette struggles to understand that her mother's demands of "Why couldn't you be a better daughter?" are not her own fault.
- Ezra Friedkin (portrayed by Kyle Downes)
Ezra was adopted at birth by parents who were looking more for a solution to their marital difficulties than for a child to love. When the marriage ended in divorce, Ezra was caught in the middle of his parents' arguments. The experience forced him to be a pleaser, a mediator, a peacemaker, and a rule-follower. To comfort himself, Ezra turned to drugs and began abusing ketamine, with which he nearly overdosed himself. After Ezra was revived in the ER and spent 10 days recovering, he was sent to Horizon. Although witty and charming, Ezra struggles with his self-confidence and emotional stability in the shadow his parents' divorce cast upon him.
- Daisy Lipenowski (portrayed by Jewel Staite)
Disguising herself beneath a mask of gothic makeup, clothing, and piercings, and finding an interest in tarot cards and death, Daisy refers to herself as Daisy Graves. The only child of wealthy alcoholics, Daisy suffered from years of emotional abuse in her home and believed herself to be an inconvenience to her parents' addiction. When the verbal abuse she faced began to threaten her physically, Daisy assaulted her father with a seven-iron golf club, and was quickly sent to Horizon hence. Insightful and harshly honest, Daisy carefully hides her own inner pain and rage behind arrogance and morbid sense of humor.
- Peter Scarbrow (portrayed by Joe Lando)
Peter has been the headmaster and chief administrator of Mt. Horizon High School for the past three years. In cooperation with the school's owner and founder, Frank Markasian, he has built Horizon to one of the finest, most progressive and most successful "emotional growth" schools in the Pacific Northwest. Prior to meeting Frank, Peter had bottomed-out. To keep up with the incredible physical demands of the business after a success at one of the biggest brokerages on Wall Street, he, at 28 years old, turned to cocaine and then to heroin. Drugs ultimately led to divorce and when, after his first overdose and a stint at a rehabilitation clinic, he began using drugs again, Peter ended up on the streets. Recovering at a Washington hospital after another near-fatal overdose, he met Frank, whose philosophy struck a chord with Peter. The two men bonded and Frank invited him to Mount Horizon for recovery. Frank became Peter's mentor, best friend and surrogate father. Except for an occasional trip back to New York, he has remained at Mount Horizon ever since.
- Sophie Becker (portrayed by Anne Marie Loder)
Sophie met Peter Scarbrow during one of his drug rehabilitations and the two became friends, one of the reasons being their interest for adrenaline sports. Later Sophie departed abroad while Mount Horizon was established. When she came back, Peter, eager for her not to leave his life again, eventually coaxes her to become more involved at the school. Sophie agrees and since then their mutual affinity begins developing. During her time at Horizon, Sophie's personal struggles slowly become apparent to not only Peter, but some students as well.
- Hannah Bower-Barnes (portrayed by Deborah Odell)
The original leader of the Cliffhangers, Hannah loved her students dearly and became very close with them, especially Kat and Auggie. However, Hannah struggled to balance her marriage with the emotional toll her demanding job took on her. Despite her many successes in aiding the teens, Hannah departs Horizon to fix her marriage after a devastating occurrence at the school.

Digital Release[edit]
In 2015, Higher Ground was released through both Amazon and iTunes for purchase via digital download.
The series was shot outside Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] Principal photography took place in a scenic valley outside Vancouver starting in August 1999. By November, the crew had only 5–6 hours of daylight each day[citation needed], shifting much of the dramatic action indoors during the middle episodes.
Fox Family and Lions Gate Films took advantage of tax incentive programs offered by the Canadian and British Columbia governments to reduce costs. The programs required that the bulk of production expenses, including salaries, be spent in Canada. Because of this, though American writers wrote all 22 screenplays, Canadians directed all 22 episodes, and most of the cast and crew were Canadian. Additionally, the series was filmed entirely on location in Canada, and most (but not all) of the post-production work also was done there.[3]
Producers received unexpected support from other Canadian artists over the course of the series. For example, Canadian songwriter Sarah McLachlan licensed her song Angel in its entirety for only C$10,000, the minimum allowable under her record company contract. (The song plays at the end of Episode 2.)[4]
On May 4, 2000, producers received word that Hayden Christensen had been cast in the upcoming Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. (Lucasfilms made the official announcement May 7.) George Lucas became aware of Christensen when Christensen's agent sent him the pilot episode from Higher Ground.[5] However, this announcement had no bearing on the show's cancellation.

I am 48 and purchased this condo as a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views.
Megan Dobbins purchased this condo in 2010
I have been spending time vacationing in Panama City Beach for over 20 years and found this condo for sell on my last visit and it is one of the nicest I have found and one of the newest ones in the area.
I enjoy the area shopping in close by as are the many great places to eat and the beautiful sunsets.
Pam's Birthday Weekend!!! The big "50". We acted like teenagers! We hated to leave the condo to go eat. We did enjoy some great seafood and went to dinner with another couple we met on the beach. The weather was perfect and water was warm. The party is over and we have to head back to Fayetteville TN.
You guys have a beautiful place...sooo very nice. The bed slept great and beach chairs were perfect. We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the lovely balcony. We would not change anything!!
Thank you!!
We had a great experience during our short fall trip. We decided to try to find a place on short notice and the owner was fantastic and easy to deal with. We got responses from her very quickly. The condo itself is very nice. The furnishings are top notch and we loved the large balcony and view from the 22nd floor. We would highly recommend #2203 for your vacation rental.
The condo was clean, well furnished and had a great view. Highly recommended!
Also the parking spots at this complex can be very tight, but this one actually had a fairly normal sized spot.
My family came down to take our daughter's senior pictures on the beach! It was perfect! Waking up to the breathtaking view of the ocean ... priceless! The condo was lovely and stocked with everything you needed to enjoy your stay. Megan was wonderful to work with and we are looking forward to coming back in November to celebrate our 30th anniversary!
Bob & CJ Bedgood
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Reef Condos. All the people I spoke to getting this vacation planned was wonderful and always ready to assist. We had a little confusion upon arrival but it got resolved quickly. The condo was great absolutely loved it. We could've used more bathroom linens for the amount of people staying but it wasn't a big deal. I didn't even bother asking for more because everything was so good. Also was right on the beach and in walking distance to several stores and restaurants. I'm ready to go back
Beautiful condo with a stunning view close to everything PCB has to offer. I will definitely be back.
My husband and I with two friends stayed at this condo from 7/20/14 - 7/27/14. Let me just say it was a amazing place to stay. Megan (the owner) was absolutely amazing & helpful. The room was clean!!! This is our 2nd stay in PCB and this condo probably could not of been any better. The view was amazing. The kitchen was stocked right down to a garlic press, the washer & dryer was great to have because who wants to do 10 loads of laundry when they get home :)... The only thing I could say that would be fair rating was the overflow parking for the people who came with us was not the best. People did park in it from the put put golf course next door, security was on top of it though but other than that this place was amazing.
There are even chairs and umbrellas to take down to the beach with you! Walking distance to popular restaurants. I so recommend the Runway Island (next door), the food was wonderful and our server Amy was amazing. Sharkeys was okay but the service really stunk, Angelo's was amazing food & of course you must try Pineapple Willies, great atmosphere and food.
Thank you Megan, your condo was amazing!

Our Man Sietsema at Merkato 55
This week, Our Man reviews Marcus Samuelsson's new pan-African restaurant, Merkato 55. He finds much to recommend, an endorsement that should carry a lot of weight, given Our Man's longtime interest in African cuisine.
Our Man reminds us not to fear the Meatpacking location (or MePa, as it is lately, and annoyingly, called). "Herman Melville wandered the cobbles long before Lindsay Lohan," he writes. Onward!
Among the Ethopian selections, Our Man finds that the doro watt has "marvelous depth of flavor" and the kitfo, a beef tartare cooked just slightly with hot, spiced butter, has a "wild richness."
The foie gras chutney is less successful, causing Our Man chase little bits of liver around the bowl. Don't make Our Man chase little bits of liver around the bowl!
The pita bread also meets disapproval—"cardboardy material that might better be sent to the troops in Iraq as body armor," Our Man helpfully suggests.
All in all, though, Our Man admires Chef Samuelsson's sweeping, continent-wide scope, and wonders if this restaurant will make African food the Next Big Thing.

At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o'clock. Then, at that time Jesus called out with a loud voice, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Today is Good Friday, one of the saddest yet the most joyful days of the year. For many years on Good Friday the weather has changed to dark sky's and the winds rolled in. It lasts about an hour. I have always thought that God was reminding me of that moment when Jesus left this earth. The suffering was over, the debt was paid for us. The Lamb of God had fulfilled his destiny and salvation was ours to claim through repentance of our sins.
Just now, in Florida, it rained and the sky was ominous and threatening. Lightning danced across the sky with loud claps of thunder. It rolled in from the west and as it came upon the house it was beautiful, exciting, and if orchestrated by Steven Spielberg could not have been more beautifully displayed.
The rain came after and then the glorious rainbow with the sun gleaming colors of purple, green, yellow and blue. God's rainbow with the meaning of "he loves us, he keeps his word and he will be there in the evening of our lives."
As I watched the weather roll by and the sun's return. I could feel it's warmth, I could feel God's promises to us as humanity. In my own words, once a year we have a holy TEXT sent to us. It says "I lived, I died and I did it because I love you" You have my number, don't forget to call.
On this Good Friday I am sending you my faith, my hope and wishing you peace and love in your lives forever. This has been my message to you for 8 years. We can rejoice in a new beginning because that is what he bestows on us each and every Good Friday.
Each and every Easter Morning we start again. With the Faith that he is near, The peace he sends in knowing our future is in his good keeping, the hope that our loved ones can share in this amazing gift, and the love that can transpire between families no matter how much strife and differences we have, we are all one. It is all so easy when we come together to make it happen.
Easter Blessings,
Psalm 35:9
Then my soul shall rejoice in the LORD;
and delight in his salvation.

How are exponent towers evaluated?
True or False?
For all real numbers \(a\), \(b,\) and \(c\) \[ a^{b^c} = \left(a^b\right)^c = a^{b \times c} .\]
Why some people say it's true:
The order that you choose to evaluate \(a^{b^c}\) in doesn't matter, i.e. \( a^{b^c} = a^{\left(b^c\right)} = \left(a^b\right)^c = a^{b \times c}\).
Why some people say it's false:
I was taught something else.
This statement is \( \color{red} {\textbf{false}}\). Exponent towers are evaluated from the top, down.
In other words, when evaluating \( a^{b^c}\) first evaluate the top-most operation in the tower, \(b^c\), then work downward, calculating \( a^{b^c}\) as \(a^{\left(b^c\right)}\).
\(a^{b^c} = a^{b\times c}\) would mean that \(b^c = b\times c,\) which is generally wrong!
Evaluate \[ 2^{1^3}.\]
We have \[ 2^{1^3} = 2^{1} = 2. \ _\square\]
The special cases when \(\left(a^b\right)^c = a^{\left(b^c\right)}\):
There are a few special cases when \( a^{b^c}\) does equal \(\left(a^b\right)^c\) after all. Mainly, since \(\left(a^b\right)^c = a^{b \times c}\), if \(b^c = b \times c\) then the proposed statement will be true.
\(b^c = b \times c\)
- whenever \(c = 1\)
- when \(b = c = 2\)
- when \(b = 1.5, c= 5\)
- when \(b = 4, c= .5\)
- ... there are infinity many more similar examples.
Additionally, if \(a = 1 \text{ or } 0\) then the originally proposed statement is trivially true so long as it's possible to evaluate both sides.
Rebuttal: But why is it top-down instead of bottom-up? I think bottom-up would make more sense.
Reply: You probably have a good reason for thinking that evaluating from the bottom-up is more intuitive, but that's simply not the order of operations in this case. Evaluating from the top down is also very consistent with the notion that the exponent is evaluated before all other operations, as the order "PEMDAS" defines.
Similarly to how \( 2^{3+4}\) would be evaluated as \(2^{7} = 128,\) any other operation within the power of an exponent is evaluated first, even if that operation is multiplication \(\left(\text{e.g. } 2^{3\times4} = 2^{12} = 4096\right)\) or exponentiation \(\left(\text{e.g. } 2^{3^4} = 2^{81} = \text{a very large number}\right)\).
Rebuttal: But I thought that when you have two exponents and one base, you multiply the exponents together. Doesn't \(\left(a^b\right)^c = a^{(b \times c)}\)?
Reply: With parentheses drawn in around \(a^b\), it is correct to evaluate \(a^b\) first:
\[\left(a^b\right)^c = a^{b \times c}.\]
It's only when there are no parentheses around \(a^b\) that the correct order of operations is to first evaluate \(b^c\) and then evaluate \(a^{(b^c)}\).
You might also be thinking about the multiplication \(\rightarrow\) addition identity that applies to the case when two exponents with the same base are multiplied together:
\[a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}.\]
Want to make sure you've got this concept down? Try these problems:

A rain-loosened slab of hillside collapsed on three houses and an upscale waterfront lodge after New Year celebrations at an island resort near Rio de Janeiro, killing at least 17 people, Brazilian authorities said.
ANGRA DOS REIS, Brazil | A rain-loosened slab of hillside collapsed on three houses and an upscale waterfront lodge after New Year celebrations at an island resort near Rio de Janeiro, killing at least 17 people, Brazilian authorities said.
About 120 rescuers scrambled through mud and around toppled trees and large rocks to search for other survivors of the mudslide that also injured at least 10 people early Friday. Police helicopters and navy vessels were helping in the rescue efforts.
Ten people died earlier in the day from another mudslide elsewhere in the city of Angra dos Reis, and local authorities said nearly 80 mudslides were reported throughout the region, toppling trees and destroying power lines.
Rain-related deaths in Rio de Janeiro state from three days of heavy rains reached 47, officials said, and more rain was predicted across the region.
"People had never seen so much rain in this region," Rio de Janeiro's vice governor, Luiz Fernando Pezao, told Globo TV.
Pezao indicated he feared the death toll could rise. "We'll have to wait for the rescue efforts, but we'll likely encounter a very sad outcome."
The mudslide at the Pousada Sankay resort apparently happened after tourists had returned to their rooms after the New Year's celebration at the lodge on Ilha Grande, a 90-minute ferry ride from Angra dos Reis on the mainland, fire department commander Pedro Machado said. He said at least 17 people died.
Globo TV reported that a boy and a teenage girl were among the victims, but authorities could not immediately confirm the information.
Police said some of the dead may have been in the houses. They did not immediately release the identities or nationalities of the victims.
"We were told that many of these houses here were rented by tourists for the holidays," Pezao said.
A bulldozer was brought in to help in the search for survivors. Bodies recovered from the rubble were being transported off the island by boats and helicopters.
Witnesses told local media the hillside lodge and the houses, which can only be accessed by boat, collapsed after being struck by a slab of earth nearly 300 meters (330 yards) wide.
A broad, raw scar of dirt remained on the jungle hillside above the lodge, which was smashed by mud, trees and other vegetation.
Only a handful of houses and small patches of vegetation were left unscathed.
Wooden pieces of the lodge were seen floating near the shore and on the beach.
The hotel, which advertises nightly rates of about $200 and can accommodate 50 guests, was reportedly full.
The lodge was inaugurated in 1994, according to its Web site.
Other mudslides killed 20 people across Rio de Janeiro state Thursday, mostly in shanties collapsed under mud or rain in the greater Rio de Janeiro city area.
A 3-year-old girl died in a hospital Friday after being rescued from one of the mudslides a day earlier.
Her parents also died.
Local officials in Angra dos Reis declared three days of mourning and canceled the city's annual celebration scheduled for Wednesday.

Freight rail is the most environmentally sound way to move goods over land. This is achieved through the use of cleaner and greener technologies and more efficient operating practices.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emission Trains, on average, are four times more fuel efficient than trucks. That means that moving freight by rail instead of trucks reduces greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 75 percent. If just 5 percent of freight moved by truck traveled by rail instead, greenhouse gas emissions would fall by approximately 9 million tons. Check out the Carbon Calculator below to estimate the amount of carbon dioxide that can be prevented from entering our environment just by using freight rail instead of trucks.
Railroads move, on average, one ton of goods 479 miles on a single gallon of fuel.
Reducing Highway Gridlock A single freight train can take the load of several hundred trucks off the nation's overcrowded highways. Moving freight by rail also reduces the pressure to build costly new roads and helps cut the cost of maintaining existing ones.
Railroads contribute to more than just the economic health for their communities; they also help enhance the quality of life. At local freight rail facilities, railroads help preserve the environment by improving resource management and conservation efforts through recycling and waste management programs. They also develop strong relationships with their local communities and encourage employees to participate in volunteer and community outreach efforts. Railroads partner with a variety of national and local organizations, charities, and non-profits such as the American Red Cross.
