LONDON (AP) — She squared off against former Beatle Paul McCartney in divorce court; on Thursday, Heather Mills took on Piers Morgan at Britain's media ethics inquiry.
The ex-model trashed Morgan's earlier testimony, saying that one of her private voicemails, which was played to the CNN interviewer and former tabloid editor, could have been obtained only through phone hacking.
Mills spoke under oath at Lord Justice Brian Leveson's inquiry into the practices of Britain's scandal-hit press, and said two dozen messages left for her by the former Beatle were intercepted by a journalist working for British newspaper group Trinity Mirror.
She said the incident happened after she and McCartney had a fight in January 2001, when McCartney, then her boyfriend, bombarded her with phone calls.
"There were about 25 messages, all asking for forgiveness, (asking:) 'Would I come back?'" Mills said. "One of them said: 'Please forgive me,' and he sang a little ditty of one of his songs into the voicemail."
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv/The-View/62755/1748302099/Piers-Morgan-On-His-New-Show/embed 580 476]
She said she found it strange that the messages were listed as having been listened to even before she had accessed them, but said she didn't realize what had happened until the Mirror journalist – unnamed for legal reasons – called her up and confronted her with details of the battle.
"I said: 'There's no way that you could know that unless you have been listening to my messages,'" she told the inquiry. "And he laughed."
The messages left for Mills by McCartney are at the center of the allegations against CNN star interviewer Piers Morgan, who was editor of the Daily Mirror tabloid at the time. Morgan wrote in 2006 that he had once been played an apologetic message left by McCartney for Mills, describing it in detail and noting that McCartney "even sang 'We Can Work It Out' into the answer phone."
Called before the U.K. inquiry last year, Morgan denied ordering anyone to hack a phone or writing stories based on hacked messages. He acknowledged listening to Mill's voicemail message but stubbornly refused to say anything about how he had gotten it.
Morgan even left open the possibility that the voicemail had been played to him with Mills' approval, but Mills said Thursday that was impossible.
"Never," she said. "Never ever."
Mills married the popular McCartney in 2002 and had a daughter with him before they divorced in 2008. She sought and got a substantial divorce settlement, becoming a tabloid hate figure after they separated. She is a fierce critic of tabloid journalists in general and Morgan in particular.
Morgan, who has become a media celebrity in the United States since taking over from Larry King at CNN, has returned the favor, casting aspersions on her credibility and calling her a "monster."
Morgan got some support from famed public relations guru Max Clifford, who testified before the inquiry later Thursday. He had harsh words for Mills, denying her allegation that he'd threatened her if she didn't hire him as a publicist.
"There's an awful lot of things I could say about Heather Mills," he said, striking an ominous tone.
Clifford also defended Morgan against one allegation of phone hacking, saying that the editor had won one of his biggest scoops – the news that Tony Blair's wife Cherie was pregnant – the old-fashioned way.
Clifford said that the pregnancy story came from "someone who was very close to Cherie Blair and she confided in," he said. "She told me. I gave it to Piers. It did not come out as a result of phone hacking."
Leveson's inquiry was set up in the wake of Britain's tabloid phone-hacking scandal, which shocked the country with revelations that journalists at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World routinely eavesdropped on the private communications of those in the public eye.
Murdoch closed the 168-year-old tabloid, many journalists have been arrested and several top executives have resigned. More than 60 victims have successfully sued the newspaper for breaking into their phones and other violations, and about 60 more are in the process of preparing lawsuits.
Among them was Clifford, who said he personally settled his own phone-hacking lawsuit with Murdoch protege and former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks over lunch for just under 1 million pounds.

Genealogy: Beginning on a Budget
Did spending time with your family over the holidays make you wonder more about your roots? Did it make you wonder if you're actually related to some of them? If you're interested in beginning the search for your family history, here are a few ways to get started without spending a lot of money.
Most experienced genealogists will tell you to first write down everything you know about your family, collect all the documentation that you have (birth certificates, marriage licenses, death certificates, obituaries, family photos, etc.) and then start talking to your family members – especially those from the generations prior to you.
You can write your data on paper forms known as pedigree/ancestral charts and family group sheets , or you can start a tree for free online at one of the sites mentioned in this online article from Family Tree Magazine. You can also choose to purchase genealogy software for your computer to organize and record your family history, or you can choose to use one of the free genealogy software programs available for download. Two of the programs available for free are Personal Ancestral File from Family Search and Legacy Family Tree but you can read about more options for genealogy software in this post from Family Tree Magazine or this one from CNET.
Once you get ready to start researching outside what you already know or have learned from your family members you have many options. If you prefer to read up on how to go about your research before you actually dig in, one of the most respected books on researching genealogy in America is Val D. Greenwood's The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy. Other useful books are Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources and The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy, both of which are available for free online at Ancestry.com's Wiki.
It's very important to get in the habit of properly recording and documenting your sources from the very beginning, and Elizabeth Shown Mills has written a couple of books on this subject that are excellent resources for genealogy: Evidence!: Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian and the more recent Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace.
HCPL has subscriptions to two genealogy databases: HeritageQuest, which can be accessed from work or home with your library card, and Ancestry Library Edition, which is only available for use at the library. HeritageQuest provides access to most of the available US Federal Census records, as well as both bibliographic records and digitized records of local and family history sources. Most of the non-digitized resources are available for request from Allen County Public Library in Indiana for a fee. Ancestry Library Edition provides access to a large number of records and indices, some of which include U.S. Federal Census Records, World War I Draft Registration Cards, Confederate Pension Applications, birth and marriage indices and much more.
Family Search has digitized millions of records and indices and made them available for free at their site, you only need to create a username and password to gain access to the digitized records.
Cyndi's List is the best compilation of online genealogy resources, and It serves as index to genealogy web sites that cover just about any topic of which you can think. If you want to read more about Cyndi and how she does it, just click here.
The US GenWeb Project was created by volunteers in an attempt to provide online access to genealogy records. The number of resources and the quality of the sites depend on the volunteers in each particular state and/or county, but you can stumble across some great information and fantastic resources if you spend a little time on the sites created for the area you are researching – even if it's just the name and location of the library with the best genealogy resources in that county.
One last site you might find interesting is one created by the Library of Congress, called Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Many newspapers from the years 1836-1922 have been digitized and made available on this site, so you may be able to turn up obituaries, wedding announcements, birth announcements, advertisements for an ancestor's business, family scandals or other interesting information – newspapers can be a fascinating resource. There is also the U.S. Newspaper Directory that can help you can track down information on American newspapers published between the years 1690-present.
These are just a few of the options out there, for those of you who have already begun your adventures in genealogy, do you have a favorite free site, software or online family tree builder?

Fans find out that Salmon is still an angel
Tim Salmon could've just written a check, mailed over a few autographed baseballs to auction and sent his regards.
His playing days are over. His Angels have moved on. His home is no longer in Tustin Ranch but only part-time in Newport Beach and mostly just outside Scottsdale, Ariz., with his wife and four children and church and school boards and Little League teams and championship golf course tee times.
The gracious ballplayer known as the King Fish could have completely relocated from Southern California and broken his on- and off-the-field ties when he said goodbye to his playing days.
If you are on a mobile device, click here to check out the video.
*** *** ***
But 15 seasons of connections don't sever easily. And the always generous, permanently invested Salmon won't ever forget the community that has always loved him back.
(Check out the photos to see Salmon visiting with fans.)
Even all these years after his 2006 retirement, Salmon — Mr. Angel from Aug. 21, 1992, through 1,672 games and 2002 World Series championship to his Oct. 1, 2006, farewell — still wants to come through in the clutch for his former home team and adopted hometown.
Salmon, 42, still lends his name for the 13th consecutive year to the Tim Salmon Golf Classic, which will be held Monday at the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club. (For information, visit TimSalmon.com.)
The former designated hitter and outfielder gives his time to the event that will benefit two smaller, lesser-known charities — Concept 7 and Laurel House — because he knows how a little can go a long way for these grass-roots nonprofits that assist abused and at-risk youth in Southern California.
"Laurel House was right around the corner for us; Family Solutions (which has since closed) was a few blocks away," said Salmon, who lived in Tustin Ranch when he and his wife, Marci, selected these charities to be the focus of their philanthropic efforts during his playing career.
"They were close to home... and they were charities we could be involved with. We could do more than just give our name or show up once a year and take the Laurel House kids out to dinner."
The Salmons made a commitment that has lasted beyond his 299th home run.
He donated his energy, his handshakes, his smiles for photographs, his autographs and his true thoughts about today's inconsistent Angels, giving all of himself, really, to show his gratitude to the golf tournament's sponsors at a luncheon Wednesday at The Orange County Register's R.C. Hoiles Auditorium.
Salmon is still an angel. Can't steal the wings off this guy who leads with his heart.
(Read a recent column about all that Tim Salmon has going since his retirement.)
He still feels called to action when John Peel, executive director of Orange-based Concept 7, talks about the 250 foster children who sleep every night in borrowed homes as guests who don't have their pictures on the family's walls or refrigerator door.
"This is an important cause, and our help can have a big impact here," said Salmon, still a hit with an audience of more than 50 business and community leaders and die-hard fans of both Salmon and the Angels.
What they didn't know is that the Salmons connection to these charities went beyond being their benefactor.
"When I'd go on road trips, my wife would go get the kids from Laurel House and take them to the beach or Disneyland, take them to dinner," Salmon recalled. "It was something that went beyond me. It went to my family... There was a lot more bang for the buck with me going to them than if I had gone to a bigger charity."
So Salmon, speaking from the podium during the luncheon, thanked the sponsors. He greeted longtime supporters, Wing Lam of Wahoo's Fish Taco and Ivo Tjan of CommerceWest Bank, and welcomed newcomer William Wang of VIZIO.
"Every year, we've grown," Salmon said of his golf classic. "Even in the back economy, we've been able to make money. There are a lot of golf tournaments that stopped existing becuase there wasn't the money being raised. We make it."
Retired, Salmon is not.
He has filled his 162-game void with fatherhood, Little League coaching, community activism and board membership with his children's school and his family's church. This season, he has taken on a new baseball analyst gig doing pregame and postgame shows as part of Fox Sports Net's Angels coverage.
"I've been keeping myself busy," said Salmon, looking slightly haggard but still smiling after three hours of handshakes, pictures, fan questions and answers and interviews.
He didn't have to be here. He doesn't have to do this. But Tim Salmon hasn't retired from being Mr. Angel or being Tim Salmon.

Ava Thursday: Two Faces
Let's see what Ava has in store for us today. Ah, yes. Something she doodled about a year ago. She was drawing faces for a while, just floating heads, with different eyes, heads, hair, ears, etc. Here are two of the more unique faces she created around that time. The one on the right is very creative, with a huge mouth and a nose above the eyes. I like the expression of the guy on the left, with the wide eyes and frightened hair.
Not sure what the object is at the bottom, but at one time she said it was a piece of pizza. She's since recanted. The mystery continues...

Effective leadership is at the forefront of executing strategy and change
(As originally published in Business in Vancouver, 17 April 2012)
By Vincent Bryant, Leader, Performance Improvement Advisory Services, EY
In recent decades intangible assets — including our people — have become the primary drivers of corporate value. Without the support of their people, companies' strategic decisions can fall flat and become increasingly difficult to execute. Successful strategy execution and effective leadership are inseparable. This puts leadership centre stage in any change-management program.
The financial crisis and destruction of value in the global finance sector highlighted the importance of effective governance and risk management to the generation of sustainable shareholder value. Good governance provides the leadership team with independent challenge and insight and is an essential part of the overall mix when making strategic decisions and executing strategy.
Creating a competitive strategy is about being different, choosing a different set of products/services or the same products/services, and delivering them differently to create a unique customer experience or value mix. While these ideas are good, a common source of failure arises from a lack of understanding about a company's strategic choices — what we will and will not do. It's up to the leadership team to take responsibility and ensure clarity exists throughout their organization. This requires a focused multi-channel communication process to constantly reinforce strategic direction and set new expectations.
A key element of effective and engaging leadership is the ability to create compelling reasons for people to change their habits, release their potential and maintain their focus on the drivers of company value. While the rationale for change decisions is based on robust and often complex analysis across a wide range of strategic, financial and operational performance areas, it's up to leadership to create compelling reasons that resonate with employees at all levels of their company. Helping teams to visualize the rationale for change is an essential ingredient of successful execution.
History has taught us that separating the planners from the people on the front line is a risky approach to building a winning strategy. Involving people in the planning process enables them to contribute their knowledge, acquire an understanding of the decision-making path and direct their energy towards successful execution.
Congruence between strategy, structure, systems, people and culture is also essential. Successful execution requires thinking through the activities that must be performed to make a company's strategy real and, in turn, needs a hard-headed assessment of their organizational capabilities and the degree of fit between current capabilities and those required to execute the strategy. Leaders can't assume the proper processes are in place to manage change effectively. False assumptions can easily cause the failure of a well-thought-out program.
Culture is intangible and pervasive, but it defines the operating style of the organization. Changing it requires a common language that encourages understanding and discussion. Leaders must be role models for change to avoid cynicism and rejection of any new program. Changing culture is not a project or single initiative. Multiple leverage points and initiatives are required. Changing takes time and is always driven by leadership behaviour, not words.
Resistance to change is normal. Overcoming resistance requires a clear and compelling vision for the change, establishing dissatisfaction with the status quo and a clear set of steps to mobilize the change program. Many well-planned strategies fail the execution test, but companies can reduce the risk of failure by ensuring the essential leadership, governance and execution fundamentals are firmly in place.
Vincent Bryant leads EY's Vancouver performance improvement advisory services team and teaches strategy execution and business transformation at the UBC Sauder School of Business in Vancouver; his column will focus on business growth strategies

Bad films are easy to make, but a film as unpleasant as Baby Geniuses' achieves a kind of grandeur.

Iffy for 9+
A bad sitcom of a movie.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the humor here centers around children using salty adult language, repeated groin-bashing and -- you guessed it -- diaper activities. And though this is a film that would seemingly appeal to young children, the sexual innuendo and roughhousing make it appropriate, inexplicably, only for tweens. Some kids may enjoy the diaper gags, but overall the humor is too crass and misguided to recommend to them. And even among tweens, those who feel insulted by bad TV sitcoms shouldn't risk it.
Messages: One of the "genius" babies roughs up a homeless man and steals his clothes.
Violence: Karate kicks, Three Stooges-type mayhem, and gratuitous groin trauma.
Sex: Innuendo between toddlers.
Language: A few mild expletives.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Angle Holds 'Press Conference,' Takes No Questions And Leaves (VIDEO)
The Las Vegas Sun gives some local color:
Alas, Angle's more media-friendly moment was over almost as soon as it began.
In the warehouse of a family-owned clean diesel manufacturer in Sparks, Angle delivered a three-minute speech on her desire to permanently repeal the estate tax. When invited by the final speaker to stay and answer a few questions, she turned on her heel and rushed out a back door with a small cadre of staff members.
Reporters, including one who is six months pregnant, chased after her, calling out questions on unemployment benefits and other topics she has largely refused to address.
Brief though it may have been, the event was one of her first efforts to illustrate her philosophy that government's role in the economy is largely to stay out of the way of the private sector.
The TPM Poll Average currently shows Reid edging ahead of Angle by a margin of 44.0%-43.1%.

Dragon Quest VIII Drops
It may hold absolute rule over the market in Japan, but it seems Dragon Quest still hasn't quite caught on over here. The original Dragon Quest probably still holds the most sales if you count the free copies Nintendo Power offered to anyone renewing their subscription.Countless clearances and sales have offered discounts on last year's Dragon Quest VIII - a finely-crafted RPG by all accounts - but it appears that an official price drop has finally been announced. The game is now down to $19.99 at EBGames/Gamestop/Best Buy. If three of the biggest video game retailers are dropping it, others are surely to follow.
If you like RPGs at all and still haven't give Dragon Quest VIII a chance, don't let an opportunity like this slip through your fingers! Old-school battle system aside (which some people might initially find tedious), it's length and beauty more than justify even the original retail price.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Coca Cola's version of pomegranate juice is not quite the real thing, and a competitor has another chance to prove it in court.
The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with juice maker Pom Wonderful in its long-running false advertising dispute with the Coca-Cola Co., a decision that could open the door to more litigation against food makers for deceptive labeling.
The justices ruled 8-0 that Pom can go forward with a lawsuit alleging the label on a "Pomegranate Blueberry" beverage offered by Coke's Minute Maid unit is misleading because 99 percent of the drink is apple and grape juice.
Lower courts had ruled in favor of Coke because the label conforms to the law and to Food and Drug Administration rules. But the Supreme Court reversed, finding that the juice label may technically comply with FDA rules but may still mislead consumers for different reasons.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the court's opinion, appeared to have telegraphed his position back in April when he said at oral argument that the label even misled him into thinking the drink was mostly pomegranate juice. His opinion Thursday focused on the juice's details, noting that the product contained only 0.3 percent pomegranate juice, 0.2 percent blueberry juice and 0.1 percent raspberry juice.
Kennedy said the law governing regulation of food and drug labels does not preclude a competitor to sue under a different law for unfair competition based on false or misleading claims. He said federal food and trademark laws complement each other in the regulation of misleading labels.
Justice Stephen Breyer took no part in the case.
The court also rejected Coke's argument that allowing a deceptive labeling claim would interfere with national uniformity under FDA laws. Kennedy said Congress chose to allow challenges under trademark law "to enforce a national policy to ensure fair competition."
Pom, which faces deceptive advertising claims of its own, filed its lawsuit against Coke in 2008 after it began losing market share to Minute Maid's "Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored Blend of 5 Juices" drink. The drink's label shows the words "Pomegranate Blueberry" in much larger type than the rest of the phrase and includes a prominent picture of large pomegranate set among other fruits.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Coke, finding that food labeling laws preclude private lawsuits under trademark law.
The food and beverage industry had expressed concerns that a ruling for Pom would lead to greater uncertainty about labeling requirements and lead to a flurry of new lawsuits.
Coke's lawyer claimed during oral arguments that it would be a "logistical nightmare" for food companies to have to change labels in response to every private lawsuit. The beverage giant says the federal government, not competitors, should be enforcing uniform label requirements.
Kennedy acknowledged that allowing trademark claims to be decided by judges and juries in courts around the country "may give rise to some variation in outcome." But he said "this is the means Congress chose to enforce a national policy to ensure fair competition."
Claudia Vetesi, a San Francisco attorney specializing in false advertising class action lawsuits, said the decision could lead to an increase in "business to business litigation" over food labeling.
"Now a company could make sure its label complies with FDA regulation, but that doesn't mean they won't get sued," said Vetesi, who is not involved in the case. "This chips away at the primacy of the FDA."
In a separate case, the federal government has filed a deceptive advertising case against Pom for claiming that its pomegranate juice can treat or prevent heart disease, prostate cancer and other illnesses. The Federal Trade Commission's action is pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Dallas Paper Wants To Know What Abbott Thinks Of Nugent's 'Paean To Sex With Underage Girls'
Slater writes:
As attorney general, Abbott pledged as part of his conservative agenda to fight sexual predators who target young girls. Nugent took the campaign stage with Abbott this week where the attorney general touted him as a "fighter for freedom" because of his appeal to gun-rights voters in Texas. But then there's this, Nugent's 1981 paean to sex with underage girls entitled Jailbait.
"Jailbait" contains lyrics like these: "Well I don't care if you're just thirteen/ You look too good to be true/ I just know that you're probably clean/ There's one lil' thing I got to do to you."
Nugent admitted to having affairs with underage girls in a 1998 "Behind the Music" documentary.
Abbott's opponent in the gubernatorial race, state Sen. Wendy Davis (D), sent an email to supporters Friday that blasted the attorney general for campaigning with Nugent.
"It's been 4 days since Abbott appeared on stage, proudly showing off an admitted sexual predator as one of his biggest supporters. And when asked to denounce Nugent, his 'blood brother,' Abbott went silent," the fundraising email from Davis' campaign read.
Abbott deflected CNN's questions Thursday when asked if he felt it appropriate to campaign with someone who had a history of inflammatory remarks like Nugent, who has also called President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel." The gun rights activist later apologized, but not to the President.
Abbott's gubernatorial campaign hadn't responded to Slater's request as of Friday afternoon.

Revolution is spreading like wildfire through the Middle East, protests are roiling the American Mid-West, and even here at TCNJ, we begin to sense potential for bottom-up progress. Perhaps now more than ever, the times they are a-changin'.
It's been almost exactly two years since we elected Barack Obama atop a liberal tide of anti-Bush consensus. But what has actually changed? Has there been any progress? Half a term through, it's time to evaluate Obama across the board.
The College of New Jersey
is violating your First Amendment right to
freedom of expression —
right now, even as you read this.
On a fortunate whim in the summer of 2009, I brainstormed with a few politically-minded associates about what a progressive newsmagazine at TCNJ might look like, and behold – The Perspective was born. I should admit, though, that at its earliest inception, the publication was to be far narrower in scope than what it represents today. Originally intended to cover only the overtly political, The Perspective is now understood to provide a more holistic – and fundamentally different – take on the college experience.
When a contentious journalist and social critic spoke at the College in early March, few could have anticipated the reaction that would ensue. Ours is a decrepit, dying culture, Chris Hedges insisted, shackled by corporate titans who profit from our endless, gullible consumerism. Our infatuation with celebrity, lack of critical self-awareness, and blind deference to institutional structures have systemically lulled us into a complacent malaise, thereby allowing the privileged elite to maintain their tyrannical grip on power.
We are being fed illusions, Hedges charged, which serve only to distract us from what truly demands our attention, including economic injustice, political corruption, and imperialist conflict. The once mighty vessel that is America, Hedges prognosticated, is accelerating on its inevitable descent into watery oblivion.
The onset of a new year is always bittersweet. We frantically search for meaning in the successes and failures of the last twelve months, grouping them together as somehow indicative of what it meant to live in 2009. We assume with a rather arbitrary degree of optimism that a fresh change in the Roman calendar will accompany a comparably fresh revelation of insight.
This issue, then, deals with the paradox of renewal: our profound strides forward and the implications thereof, combined with the ever-present forces of antiquity that still linger as society waits impatiently for more earnest modernization. From politics, to religion, to technology, to culture, we grapple with a grating conflux of yesterday and today. It is a tug-of-war — and at times, an all-out brawl. Within these pages, we try to make sense of it.
From its outset, The Perspective never sought to engage in an arbitrary tit-for-tat with The Signal. The two publications have different aims, different journalistic standards, and different target audiences. Our relationship can be one of coexistence and supplementation, not incessant quarreling. That being said, we will not hesitate to criticize The Signal if, in our opinion, it has failed to provide the wider campus community with quality content and reporting. In last month's inaugural issue, The Perspective called attention to the flaws that we found to be pervasive at the publication.
As New Jersey's gubernatorial contest draws to a long-anticipated close, there are lessons to be learned from what has been another nauseating campaign season. We are not terribly surprised that the two major candidates, Jon Corzine and Chris Christie, have been relentless with their asinine attack ads and trivial barb-throwing. But we are surprised at how low they have stooped, and the extent to which they have disillusioned the New Jersey electorate.

text: Why Not Capital Punishment for Double Parking, Too? Talk Left discusses the case of a man accused of attempted espionage. Ashcroft is seeking the death penalty. Please, please spare me any hand-wringing on this one about the families of the victims and how the only possible justice for them is "an eye for an eye." There are no families of the victims, because THERE ARE NO VICTIMS. Does everyone feel comfortable with the idea of executing people for espionage that wasn't even committed? Particularly when Robert Hansen, everybody's favorite Clinton hating G-Man, was personally responsible for numerous deaths of American agents by the KGB and he got life (and we taxpayers are paying his pension to his wife.) Of course, Hansen had information to share because he was guilty as sin and his crimes reached to highest level of the clandestine spy world, so they couldn't kill him. Who knows what he might say in a courtroom? But, this poor schmuck is just a mentally challenged loser so they can "make an example of him." That's Justice with a capital J. Correction: That's Hanssen. Thanks to Patrick Neilsen Hayden for the heads up. digby 1/19/2003 01:26:00 PM

"It is a basic requirement of any British institution that it baffle foreigners."
Useful information on British life and the United Kingdom for those who are not British.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a state which sits on a collection of islands in (or "near") the North-West of Europe, most particularly Great Britain and a northern part of the island of Ireland, as well as smaller islands like Orkney and Shetland. "Great Britain" is not the name of the country, at least not since 1801.
Britain is made up of four "home nations" wedged into a space slightly smaller than the state of Oregon: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Wales was annexed by England in the middle ages (and the title of Wales' old ruler - Prince of Wales (Tywysog Cymru) - has been passed to the reigning English monarch's eldest son ever since) but Scotland's entry into this Union was via vote of the Scottish Parliament in the early 18th century which means, theoretically, Scotland entered as an equal. Because England and Scotland merged to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, this means that talking about the "Kingdom of England" (or of Scotland) after 1707 is incorrect as those entities had legally ceased to exist. (Which makes the common foreign—and frequently domestic—reference to Her Majesty as 'the Queen of England' a mistake). The title "United Kingdom" only came about when another Act of Union combined the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, though paragraph III of the 1707 Act of Union states "THAT the united Kingdom of Great Britain be Represented by one and the same Parliament..." (note the capitalisation) and the description "United Kingdom" was in common parlance in the 18th century.
The King of England (and subsequently Great Britain) was also Lord of Ireland from 1171, and King of Ireland from 1541. Ireland joined the UK in 1801, theoretically by the same means as Scotland—i.e. a free vote of its Parliament—but since that Parliament was dominated by the Protestant Anglo-Irish minority, the union was a bit controversial. Ireland gained formal independence again after its 1919-21 War of Independence, forming the Irish Free State, which later became the Republic Of Ireland. Since 1999, Scotland and Wales have been partially self-governing through a new Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly respectively, though these bodies only have powers to deal with certain areas of government - education policy, for example. Scotland & Wales still elect MPs to the main London Parliament too, which retains control over national issues like defence. Northern Ireland is a portion of Ireland that remained part of the United Kingdom after the rest of Ireland decided to become independent (and, later, a republic) in the 20th century. Unlike the other home nations, which only achieved this fairly recently, Northern Ireland has been partially self-governing since its creation in 1921, though this was suspended between 1972 and 2002 due to a small spot of bother.
Variously described by names such as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, the British Isles, Great Britain, Britain; many in fact refer to subtly different entities and these themselves may contain areas with different rules (the Channel Islands, Man, etc). It is perfectly easy to run across a construction like, "The Isle of Man is part of the British Isles but not governed by the British Prime Minister; though it is not part of the United Kingdom it is subject to the British Monarch" - all of which is essentially correct, but the hideous confusion all these overlapping and vaguely similar-sounding terms create is so great it is nearly impossible to explain the situation to someone unfamiliar with it. Especially not verbally, when this necessitates using phrases like "a man from Man has a British passport but is not technically British and certainly not from Great Britain" or "the Republic of Ireland in the island of Ireland is properly called Ireland"... Fortunately, the helpful magic of TV Tropes now lets you straighten out all this mess by looking at Britain Versus the UK to clear it all up.
The name 'Britain' has been traced back through the Latin 'Brittannia' back to 'Prydain' and the tribal 'Pretani', and most probably means 'the tattooed ones'. note
A pre-Roman kingdom in the North of England, covering modern Lancashire and Yorkshire, was called Brigantia; rather than fight it elected to become a client kingdom of Rome, and it is possible its name was mis-heard as or corrupted into "Britannia".
The oldest name of all for the main British island is Albany - this survives into the present day in the Gaelic name for Scotland, (unconquered by Rome) - Alba. The old poetic name for the island is also preserved as Albion and is used in this context by William Blake and many others.
Modern 'Britain' didn't exist as a political entity until the early 17th century when James VI of Scotland became dual monarch of Scotland and England and, although both countries were independent of one another, the idea of 'Britain' came from this dual monarchy. The British political system (largely inherited from that of England following the two countries' most recent union in 1707) is the oldest in the world but has undergone some major upheavals in its time, including the Magna Carta of the middle ages (which established the rights of the aristocracy in relation to the King), a Civil War in the mid-17th century which overthrew the monarchy and established a republic (although this only lasted eleven years) and a coup d'etat in 1688 known as the 'Glorious Revolution' which overthrew another King and reined in monarchical power meaning that the monarch was forced to rule in partnership with Parliament. Although 1688 is seen as the "basis" for the modern British constitutional setup the years since then have seen the monarchy lose its remaining practical powers and become entirely symbolic whilst Parliament has become the de facto ruler of the country.
Democracy in Britain proceeded through a series of parliamentary reforms, where power was gradually ceded from the nobility, to the common citizenry. Electoral suffrage widened slightly with the Great Reform Act of 1832 which was the first to enlarge the electorate, but still left it very narrow, based on income and with different rules in different places, allowing a fair bit of corruption (the main purpose of the 1832 reforms was ensuring equal representation between urban and rural areas, to reflect the explosive growth of the industrial cities). External events (specifically the American and French revolutions) are generally held to have had a large influence on the decision to widen the vote. After this the electorate expanded relatively rapidly during the 19th Century so that for the first time over half of men could vote by 1884. In 1918 property restrictions were removed for all men, who could now vote at the age of 21, and some women were given the vote for the first time (although not on equal terms with men, suffering property and age restrictions). Historians will gladly discuss what caused the government to give women the vote, but the two simplest reasons are the campaigns of the militant suffragettes, and the work that women undertook during the First World War. Some people still held two votes by virtue of being graduates of a British university;note TOW says that 7% of the electorate held two votes in 1918. In 1928 women were allowed to vote at 21 just like men could, and in 1969 the voting age was reduced to 18, where it still stands today.
Once ruled the largest empire in world history but by the end of World War I, its ability to rule those colonies was challenged and independence movements in Ireland, India, Egypt, and Israel broke out. Public opinion was no longer as buoyed by the optimism of empire world-building as it was in the Victorian era, the young generation of Tommies killed in the Great War put a damper on that. The vast mobilization and defense of World War II as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt's insistence that the Empire not survive the war made it next to impossible for the UK to maintain its holdings and several former colonies gained its independence between 1945 to 1954. A permanent member of the UN Security Council, and with its own nuclear weapons and one of the few remaining blue-water navies, Britain's status as a credible military power on its own is well cemented, mostly because of the war in the Falkland Islands: waging war with an advanced military force sited next door to the contested scrap of land in open conflict 8000 miles away and then winning is no mean feat. Once an industrial powerhouse, Britain now has a mainly service-based economy but is still the world's sixth largest manufacturer.
The British have a tendency to be Sophisticated as Hell when it comes to their own language, frequently throwing odd bits of Latin, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Hindi phrases into everyday conversation. Tellingly London has a population where over 250 languages are spoken. This is likely due to the fact that throughout history, there has been a steady influx of external cultural influences to the island nation, from Romans to Scandinavian to French, thus the need to evolve their language into a highly complicated pidgin to facilitate communication and trade.
Britain creates sports and watches the rest of the world master them, with the exception of Self-Deprecation, which nobody else seems to have the hang ofnote . As the only English-speaking country for most of history, a huge proportion of classic English-language literature originates from the British Isles.
The UK produces a large number of English-language films and TV programmes of international fame, from well known establishments like Pinewood Studios and The BBC.
Since Britain is the cradle of the English language, British English has been known as... oh sod it. I never wanted to do this. Ranting in a page about the traits of a country in Europe. Discussing linguistics I have little base to know. I always wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!.

The Union Flag
Also known by its naval-use name "Union Jack", the flag combines the flags of the then-known realms of the United Kingdom in 1801 — the Saint George's Cross of England (with Wales; red cross over white field), the Saint Andrew's Cross of Scotland (white saltire over blue frame), and the Saint Patrick's Cross of Ireland (red saltire over white field).
St. George's Cross (The English flag)
The red cross on a white field goes back to The Crusades, when English and French crusaders exchanged colours assigned to them by The Pope with each other (originally England got a standard of a white cross on a red field), which was identified with Saint George, a late 3rd-century Roman soldier.

Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish tie the knot.
Bosworth and Polish tied the knot at the Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, complete with hoedowns, a pig roast and barn-style wedding. This, however, did not mean the stylish star was showing up in a prairie gown. The actress wore an airy lace Chloe dress for the rehearsal dinner, custom Proenza Schouler silk dress with accordion pleats for the welcome party and a classic, elegant Oscar de la Renta gown for the big day. She did, however, ride in to the ceremony on a horse and carriage.
Here she is looking perfect in the gorgeous Chloe dress.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University's Jazz at Bucknell series and the University's Film/Media Studies series will present "Finding Carlton: Uncovering the Story of Jazz in India," on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Campus Theatre, located at 413 Market St. in Lewisburg.
The event will include a post-screening talk and question-and-answer session with filmmaker Susheel Kurien. Admission to Bucknell's Film/Media Series is $2 per person; Campus Dollars are accepted.
"Finding Carlton" is a mesmerizing story of cultural cross-pollination, born of the pre-war African-American diaspora, the American Army presence in Calcutta during the Second World War and the U.S. State Department's sponsored jazz tours in India.
The film is built around a portrait of Indian jazzman Carlton Kitto and explores India's little-known jazz age that lasted from the 1920s to the 1970s. It illuminates the influence of American jazz on Bollywood and provides one of the earliest examples of cultural globalization.
Kurien developed a love for jazz and film while growing up in India. After working as an assistant to a filmmaker in Bombay, he went on to a creative career that included multimedia production and copywriting. He moved to New York in 1981 and has served as a management consultant and entrepreneur. "Finding Carlton" is his first film.
Co-sponsors include the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Gender, and the Asian Studies Interest Group.
The next Jazz at Bucknell event is a free performance by The Claudia Quintet on Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. in Bucknell Hall.

Your Life Path number is found by reducing the digits in your birth date to one (or in some cases) two digits.
An Example
For someone whose birth date is 13th September 1975, the Life Path Number would be derived as follows:
The birth date is written in numbers: 13.9.1975 (or 9.13.1975) in North America).
The numbers of your birth date are then reduced to a single number, or in some special cases two numbers called Master Numbers.
Start by adding the day, month and year together. In this example 13+9+1975, which reveals 1997.
Each of these digits is added together: 1+9+9+7, to produce 26. These digits are added together, 2+6, to produce a Life Path number of 8.
A Master Number is produced when you are left with 11, 22, 33. These numbers are not reduced further.
This Numerology 33 page is part of my Numerology Meanings series...
People with Life Path Numerology 33 are very rare and often exceptionally gifted people. They are people with brilliant minds, superior insight and outstanding vision.
Number Thirty Threes can be perfectionists and because of their high standards find it difficult to delegate and trust others.
Number 33 destiny path people are uniquely gifted spiritually and often find that they are admired, respected and followed by others.
People with Life Path Numerology 33 are highly sensitive and are often psychic. They have the ability to feel the needs of others and can step into their shoes. They have terrific empathy and are sought out as good advisors.
People with Life Path Numerology 33 display many of the qualities of Life Path Number 6. But this rare number imbues a strong spiritual element. They possess higher ideals than most. They are very inspiring to others and will have a desire to help others often at the expense of their own welfare. Number Thirty Threes are usually deeply religious and spiritual people.
With a life path number of 33 you are incredibly gifted as a healer, guide, mentor and teacher. You do best in careers that combine your need to help others and your innate gifts. The spiritual, holistic and metaphysical arena is where you excel in.
You can also excel in areas of work that have an element of truth and honesty to them as you are completely honest and trustworthy.
You are not needy or clingy and in fact can function perfectly well without a love partner. People tend to need you more than you need or want them. You are admired by a great many people who will vie for your attention.
You care little for the materialistic life adored by many. You need enough money to have a comfortable life and to enable you to do your work. If you do have excess money to spare you use it in charitable donations to help others. You like to share your wealth.
A Money Spell is the perfect solution for you.
You could easily have a deeply religious faith. But religion is by no means necessary for you to do your Work. You have the potential to be a Spiritual Leader.
You will sacrifice or neglect your own welfare if necessary, in the service of others. Flattery will not affect you, nor will criticism, because of the certainty you have of the righteous nature of your Path in this world. This certainty comes from your faith in humanity, compassion, and the good that everyone has within them.
Of course having the number 33 as your Life Path Number makes the number 33, one of your lucky numbers. To Find out your other five lucky numbers, derived from a variety of mystical sources Click Here

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying three regimens of combination chemotherapy to compare how well they work in treating women with stage I or stage II breast cancer.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Breast Cancer |
Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride Drug: epirubicin hydrochloride Drug: mitoxantrone hydrochloride Drug: vinorelbine tartrate Procedure: conventional surgery Radiation: radiation therapy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized Phase II Trial of Navelbine/Epirubicin Versus Navelbine/Mitozantrone Versus Cyclophosphamide/Adriamycin as Preoperative Chemotherapy in Patients With > or = 3cm Diameter Early Breast Cancer |
Study Start Date: | October 1998 |
Study Completion Date: | September 2005 |
- Determine the efficacy of vinorelbine/epirubicin and vinorelbine/mitoxantrone in terms of clinical objective tumor response, clinical complete remission, and pathological complete remission in women with early stage breast cancer.
- Compare the efficacy of these 2 new regimens with an established regimen of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin in a randomly selected control group of patients.
- Compare the toxicity and side effects of these 2 new regimens in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to center and age (under 50 vs 50 and over). Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive vinorelbine IV on days 1 and 8 and epirubicin IV on day 1.
- Arm II: Patients receive vinorelbine IV on days 1 and 8 and mitoxantrone IV on day 1.
- Arm III: Patients receive doxorubicin IV and cyclophosphamide IV on day 1. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. All patients except those who are under 50 and whose tumors are estrogen receptor negative receive oral adjuvant tamoxifen daily in addition to chemotherapy.
All patients are offered surgery following completion of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy begins within 4 weeks of completion of chemotherapy or surgery, whichever is the immediately preceding treatment.
Patients are followed every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for the next 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 62-125 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

I had a complete face lift done by Doctor Koelliker in March of this year 2012. It is now November of 2012 and I get nothing but compliments on the way I look by people who know me and people who do not know me at all.
My reason for going through this surgery was very simply that I wanted to look how I felt. "Young, healthy" Metapause left me looking droopy and tired looking before my time. I had gained weight and lost it and I hated the way I looked with the droopy neck and face, eyes. I also was afraid of losing my job and not being able to find another because of the way I looked. People are very superfical now a days.
I continue to go to Medical Spa's for skin treatments and have been told numerous times that this doctor did a exceptional natural correction, that they can't even see any scars.
I had upper and lower eyelifts, mid and lower, and neck facelift with the SMAS face lift. I had a upper lip lift using the bull horn lip lift to get that pouty look back again, along with fat transfers in my upper and lower lips using my own fat lipoed from my thigh as well.
I feel pretty again. This doctor is conservative in his facelifts, meaning he leaves you with a more youthful natural look. I love the way I look now. My husband even said he thinks I look better than I did when he first met me 18 years ago. I'm not sure if that should bother me?
I went to Mexico by myself and stayed 10 days and booked my trip and surgery. Pat Marino set everything up for me and everything went very well. They took very good care of me. I felt safe and in good care at all times before and after my surgery. The hospital was spotless, the staff were very friendly and took excellent care of me. I never felt afraid. My recovery went well. I had no problems at all. I followed the doctors directions when I returned home and all went well.
You do really feel pretty good only a few days after surgery, but you should still try and rest and not over do walking around in the hot sun and such. You do need to recover before trying to fly home. That being said I was very gratful that I stayed at Casa Marino in San Miguel De Allende. It's beautiful there and I felt very safe and even walked into town one day by myself. The Authentic Mexican culture is just beautiful. I had a real life awakening as to the real Mexican people and there culture, and it was not like what you here on the news with all the drug cartels and such. It was a normal town nestled in the mountains in central Mexico. I could just go on and on about this place, its so beautiful with the climate and all the flowers everywhere. It's a wonderful place to recover from surgery. I did the package deal for my surgery, with three days at hospital and the rest of the 10 days at Casa Marino and that was just fine. I took a loan out for my surgery from my 401k and I can tell you that I will never regret doing so. It was the best thing I ever did for my self esteem. I feel confident again.
Really the only CONS I had were that the hospital staff needed to learn more english. I brought some translations books for using simple terms to get by until you arrive at Casa Marino after surgery, but that was really minimal cons because Dr, K comes in numerous times during your time in the hospital and he speaks english really good. I understand that they are working with the staff to learn english better, but it really did not casue any problems, becasue they get alot of english speaking patients all the time.
I have posted picturesSome before just after and one three months after. I would like to note that the post three month picture shows face still alittle round, I have since lost an addional 10pounds and my face is more thinner. when I get another more recent pic I'll post it. The post pic was in June of this year, which was three months after surgery and I still needed to lose a little weight. just after andshows

Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York has thrown out a proposed settlement between the SEC (see SEC Complaint) and Bank of America. At issue is whether or not the bank allegedly hid from shareholders, in the run-up to the purchase of the failing Merrill Lynch, large bonuses that Merrill paid to executives early in 2009 after the failed firm was acquired by the bank.
Demanding that the Securities and Exchange Commission and Bank of America litigate instead of settle, Judge Rakoff said, in a scathing Memorandum Order, filed on Sept. 14, that he would not accept the settlement as proposed.
Instead Rakoff said that the SEC and Bank of America had proposed that the bank's management, "--having allegedly hidden from the Bank's shareholders that as much as $5.8 billion of their money would be given as bonuses to the executives of Merrill who had run the company nearly into bankruptcy--would now settle the legal consequences of their lying by paying the S.E.C $33 million more of their shareholders' money."
"This proposal to have the victims of the violation pay an additional penalty for their own victimization was enough to give the Court pause," Rakoff went on. He added later that the Court, even with due "deference," found the proposed settlement to be "neither fair, nor reasonable, nor adequate."
That the shareholders who were allegedly victimized should pay yet more, "does not comport with the most elementary notions of justice and morality," the Judge added.
Judge Rakoff then went on to quote from Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan," a passage regarding a "cynic" who "knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."
The Memorandum is good reading, and this case, ordered to trial on February 1, 2010, is sure to be followed by wealth managers as well as their clients.

The Convention drew up a new constitution, setting up the Directory and a bicameral legislature. The constitution went into effect after the royalist insurrection of Vendémiaire (Oct., 1795) had been put down by armed force. The rule of the Directory was marked by corruption, financial difficulties, political purges, and a fateful dependence on the army to maintain control. Conflict among the five directors led to the coup of 18 Fructidor (Sept. 4, 1797).
Discontent with Directory rule was increased by military reverses. In 1799 Napoleon Bonaparte, the hero of the Italian campaign, returned from his Egyptian expedition and, with the support of the army and several government members, overthrew the Directory on 18 Brumaire (Nov. 9) and established the Consulate. Until the Restoration of the Bourbons (1814), Napoleon (see Napoleon I) ruled France.

12.1: Radical Transformations
This activity is intended to supplement Algebra I, Chapter 11, Lesson 1.
Time Required: 15 minutes
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will use the transformational graphing application to examine how the square root function is transformed on the coordinate plane. As an extension, students will examine similar transformations on a cube root function.
Topic: Radical Functions
- Domain, Range
- Square Root
- Transformations
Teacher Preparation and Notes
- Students will need the Transformation Graphing application installed on their graphing calculators.
- To download the calculator application, go to http://www.education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Activities/Detail?id=11574 and select Transformation Graphing under the Applications header.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: Radical Transformation, http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9621
- Transformation Graphing
Problem 1 – The General Radical Function
Students will examine the graph of \begin{align*}y=\sqrt{x}\end{align*} and determine the domain and range of the function.
Students will also conjecture if the graph is always in the first quadrant.
Problem 2 – Transformations
In Problem 2, students will change values in the general equation of a square root graph. Students will determine the domain and range of a square root function based on the general equation. They will revisit the question of where the graph lies in the plane. They will also describe the transformation performed on the graph by changing each variable.
Discussion Questions:
- How does each variable affect the graph of the function?
- How can we algebraically show the domain and range of the function?
- Why does the graph "stop" (no longer exist) on one side?
- How does the variable a affect the graph?
Extension – Cube Root Functions
In this problem, students will repeat the exploration above for the cube root function and determine domain, range, and transformations on the graph.
Note: The cube root can be entered by pressing MATH and selecting 5: \begin{align*}\sqrt[3]{\;\;}\end{align*}.
- Domain: \begin{align*}x \ge 0\end{align*}; Range: \begin{align*}y \ge 0\end{align*}
- Sample Response: The function is not defined for values less than zero because the square root becomes negative.
- Sometimes (Incorrect answer is okay. This is a conjecture question.)
- Sample response: The graph is a straight line because the square root is multiplied by zero, making the function \begin{align*}y = 0\end{align*}.
- Sometimes (Now students should have the correct answer.)
- Sample responses must have \begin{align*}\sqrt{x-3}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}x \ge -2\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}h\end{align*}
- Sample response must have \begin{align*}-2\end{align*} after square root
- \begin{align*}y \ge 3\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}k\end{align*}
- Sample response: Positive \begin{align*}4\end{align*} opens down (concave down); Negative \begin{align*}4\end{align*} opens up (concave up).
- Sample response: Positive \begin{align*}4\end{align*} is steeper than positive \begin{align*}2\end{align*}.
- Sample response: Flips the graph open up or open down. Makes the graph steeper as \begin{align*}|a|\end{align*} gets larger.
- \begin{align*}x \ge h\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}y \ge k\end{align*}
- Domain and range: All real numbers
- \begin{align*}h\end{align*} is a horizontal shift; \begin{align*}k\end{align*} is a vertical shift; \begin{align*}a\end{align*} makes the branches steeper and flips the graph.

Hello, I've purchased a pair of IEMs that use CIEM standard connector. I want to use a cable with with a iphone-remote and the only good one I've found is the ue900 vi-cable.
I thought that I could re-terminate the connectors so that the fit my IEM instead of the ue900 (that uses shure connector).
Since I don't have a solder I thought that a good DIYer could modify it to me. I pay the parts, shipping and for the work.
Since I live in Sweden, you have to live in EU.
