This week I heard Helen Southgate, the MD of affilinet UK, speak at a performance marketing conference and say;
If affiliate networks don't change they will gone in five years.
This isn't another 'death of' post. The performance marketing sector is a £14 bn growth area.
There are pressures, though, and Helen isn't wrong to urge change. I doubt anyone inside the industry would argue that there are no common demands that networks, agencies and in-house teams face.
One of those common issues is the feeling that there is untapped value in the large number of content affiliates available and a frustration this value is hard to reach.
Today, the affiliate landscape is dominated by coupon sites, cashback sites and a few significant PPC, remarketing and email affiliate activities. Given the importance of coupon and cashback it makes sense that the affiliate networks have invested in technologies and methodologies to work with them.
Content sites are a challenge. They're often blogs or forums. They're often run by hobbyists who rarely check emails from brands or network communication teams. These sites are often small. They are the long tail.
If the pressure to do more with content sites increases then the good news is that there is more affiliate networks can do. Here are a few ideas.
#1. Buy tenancy
A tenancy deal is a flat rate purchase of space on a content affiliate's site. This is usually in addition to the CPA deal the affiliate is on and therefore a challenge for in-house teams or agencies to get sign off on.
However, affiliate networks could set aside a sum of cash to buy tenancy on a number of carefully selected content sites and then use that space as they need.
A little bit of technology would allow the affiliate network to swap and change the ad units shown, the busy content affiliate would not need to work any harder and the affiliate network would be in a position to quickly put resources behind campaigns that need a push.
This approach is common among video seeding platforms.
#2. Provide better ad serving
The way in which affiliate networks provide ads is still pretty basic. Site owners are left to copy and paste JavaScript (or flat HTML) to show just one banner. Sure, yes, some affiliate networks provide better content matching and updates but they're far from sophisticated.
It would be far better to offer content affiliates a fully-fledged ad serving platform. The affiliate network's system would let the affiliate set serving rules:
- Serve any ad from a group of brands that is less than ____ weeks old.
- Serve any ad from a group of brands that has an EPC (earning per click) of at least ____
- Serve any ad from a group of brands with a commission of at least ____
- Serve any ad from a group of brands once activated with a tenancy of ____
This system could even extend into CPM. After all, affiliates are approved by hand and often with more scrutiny than publishers on small display networks.
- Serve any CPA ads from a group of brands if no CPM offers greater than ____
- Serve CPA ads from a group of brands if eCPM exceeds CPM offers.
When I say 'group of brands', that could be all merchants the affiliate works with or a custom group built by the affiliate.
The opportunity for this grand project is now. Open X retreated from their free ad serving platform and sadly Adzerk is phasing out its too. The gap in the market is about to open.
#3. Build a content affiliate collective
Affiliate networks could maintain a custom list of active and quality but not necessarily large content affiliates.
This list could then be used to allow merchants to communicate with the affiliates with headline ideas, news, offers and other content-centric opportunities.
The promise of quality makes such collaboration a temptation. Affiliates would appreciate curated access to brands willing to work with them on content terms.
Brands would appreciate vetted content affiliates willing to work with them with content.
#4. Video
Affiliate networks do very little with video. This is a shame.
The technology to put a clickable layer on top of a YouTube embed is there. This would mean all those content sites that make good use of YouTube or even Vimeo could turn those embeds into an ad space.
Recently one of the pioneers in this space, Coull, stepped away from enabling sites with less than 500,000 video plays per month. Affiliate networks can cope with the bandwidth, don't need to host the video (ideally; shouldn't) and have no need to charge an extra on-boarding fee to their merchants. They could do what Coull couldn't.
#5. Product alerts
I am a content affiliate. I have a Google Calendar which reminders to go check specific retailers to look for new products matching the niches I write about.
What a pain. It would be much better if the affiliate networks, with their product feeds, would let me enter keywords/topics that I want a heads up about.
For example, I've a geeky blog that writes about superheroes. As a content affiliate I look out for retailers who bring out a range of stylised superhero t-shirts so I can blog about the design and affiliate link to the purchase page.
It would be a win-win-win if the affiliate network technology let me know the instant superhero t-shirts became available via one of my approved merchants.
#6. Content promotion
Affiliate networks make money when affiliates do. To support content affiliates networks could set aside a (relatively small) budget to spend on companies like Outbrain, StumbleUpon and Taboola to promote those instances of very high quality content when they are created by affiliates.
Yes, but ads to promote your affiliates.
Imagine this strategy working in conjunction with suggestion number three, 'content affiliate collective'. Content affiliates would have to meet a certain quality and closeness of relationship with the network to quality for this boost.
#7. Buzz alerts
The link shortening service Bitly runs RT.ly as an experiment. The platform reveals which bit.ly links are getting the most clicks in real time. Content bloggers use it to see what the hot story is right now as a way to discover what they should be writing about right now.
Affiliate networks are in a similar position to Bitly. The networks could provide real time insight or even alerts when product and service pages receive a boom in traffic.
This insight could well be incredibly valuable to content affiliates in search for a timely and monetisable topic.
#8. Content exchange
Some of the largest 'magic middle' blogs make heavy use of content exchanges like ZergNet and Crowd Ignite. These platforms are responsible for making recommendations to readers and balancing the traffic those generate around their publishers.
Content exchanges are often controversial and often not pretty. They usually have an annoying middle page which attempts to lure a few extra clicks out of the reader and may even sneak in a pop-under. Some advertisers won't work with sites that deploy them.
Affiliate networks are in an interesting position. The networks could run a content exchange in such a way that it benefits the content affiliates on it while not needing to extract those extra clicks by interrupting the reading experience.
Imagine the content exchange idea running in conjunction with the first suggestion of buying tenancy.
#9. Curate content
With an investment of time rather than any new technology an affiliate network could create a content curation brand to be active on Twitter, Facebook or Google+.
There they share the best content created by their affiliates on any given day. By doing so and through some digital marketing these branded curation entities would earn an audience and help amplify the efforts of their content affiliates.
For example, an affiliate network could run a Twitter account that shared a few travel tips every day. By picking good examples and taking part with the Twitter and travel communities this account easily and with very low cost help to promote the travel content produced by affiliates.
#10. Go contract hardball
There are negotiations between brands and agencies when an affiliate program is signed up. Agencies and experienced in-house teams have every financial reason to try and push the network price down as far as possible. Working with content affiliates is an opportunity for networks to push back.
Networks could insist that agencies and in-house teams commit to a certain number of events (outside of London and New York) a year, a number of Q&As with significant names within the brand (aka content), a number of scoops, high quality product photos and other content creating offers.
The challenges
I'm sure there's a mix of good and bad ideas in this list of 10 things. I think it also worth repeating that content affiliates are not the big earner for networks and this likely why no network has the lead on any content initiative.
It's also true to say that content affiliates have alternatives. Skimlinks and Google backed VigLink are increasingly the first stop for blogging affiliates. These two services sit between the networks and publishers and provide automation and tools. Skimlinks provides a toolset to writers and bloggers to help boost the value of their content. Both sites have far more brands on board than any single network does.
The last and most significant problem affiliate networks face in this challenge is that content affiliates are not very good at stepping forward and saying what they need. The exception, of course, is lucrative tenancy deals. I'd argue that such deals are becoming better known as native advertising but that's a whole other topic for the industry to address.
Extracting the value from the fragmented long tail of content sites will be awkward and I suspect controversial too. I have to wonder whether content affiliates become the shale gas of the performance sector. Fracking content affiliates.

Excellent article Andrew - I was at the same affiliate conference where this was raised and I always find it a source of frustration that networks are not doing more in this particular area of affiliate marketing.
However, as you mentioned in the challenges above, these types of affiliates do not have the traffic and sales volumes that are going to make a real difference to the overall campaign. It would be fantastic if a network implemented some of these to make it easier and more automated for them to monetise the content on their site, but some of these seem like large projects and are going to require a lot of investment to implement. Are the benefits going to be worth the outlay? Are we going to see those content sites break into the top 10 if they had access to these tools?
Either way, I believe that networks have to do something to change their current approach - whether this is working with the long tail better or investing in other technologies outside of the "traditional" affiliate space, they will indeed lose business and revenues in the medium to long term as clients and agencies decide to look after the key revenue drivers themselves. I think its commendable that people like Helen @ affilinet are engaging with the wider industry and realise the threat, because I can tell you from my experience that the majority of affiliate networks don't!

I think you raised an interesting question about the role of affiliate networks towards the end of the day too.
I think it's a given that no individual content affiliate will have the sort of impact as a big cashback or coupon. That's why we are where we are. Hopefully some of the brainstorms above help solve that.
Automation is the white elephant I wrote the post around. Is it really something affiliate networks can do? Surely Skimlinks and VigLink which automate across multiple networks have stolen that possibility from the networks?
Where can small content website promoters find quality products for sale. I am not very big, or even on the radar yet, but if I get there, I want to be promoting quality writing content to my customers.
How can I tell that what I am promoting is of the best quality?

Former NFL player and now ESPN personality Marcellus Wiley blamed slavery as part of the reason for black-on-black violence while speaking during ESPN's town hall called "An Undefeated Conversation: Athletes, Responsibility and Violence" Thursday.
ESPN's Jemele Hill asked Wiley why he believes African-Americans are killing each other at such a high rate.
He replied, "The problems are complex. Some of them are deep systemic problems. You can go back to slavery, go back to some of the discrimination which affected the confidence, broken homes, the loss of fathers in the home, the lack of fathers in the community. Then some of the things that have surfaced right now, a lot of times you can see reputation. you can see the pressure being negative, peer pressure that's influencing these kids, and it's a really complex issue."

Refereed Article Genomic instability targets centromeres in interspecific marsupial hybrids
Citation: Metcalfe, C.J; Bulazel, K.V; Ferreri, G.C; Schroeder-Reiter, E; Wanner, G; Rens, W; Obergfell, C; Eldridge, M.D.B; O'Neill, R.J.. 2007. Genomic instability targets centromeres in interspecific marsupial hybrids. Genetics. 177. (4): 2507-2517.
DOI: 10.1534/genetics.107.082313Abstract:
Several lines of evidence suggest that, within a lineage, particular genomic regions are subject to instability that can lead to specific types of chromosome rearrangements important in species incompatibility. Within family Macropodidae (kangaroos, wallabies, bettongs, and potoroos), which exhibit recent and extensive karyotypic evolution, rearrangements involve chiefly the centromere. We propose that centromeres are the primary target for destabilization in cases of genomic instability, such as interspecific hybridization, and participate in the formation of novel chromosome rearrangements. Here we use standard cytological staining, cross-species chromosome painting, DNA probe analyses, and scanning electron microscopy to examine four interspecific macropodid hybrids (Macropus rufogriseus x Macropus agilis). The parental complements share the same centric fusions relative to the presumed macropodid ancestral karyotype, but can be differentiated on the basis of heterochromatic content, M. rufogriseus having larger centromeres with large C-banding positive regions. All hybrids exhibited the same pattern of chromosomal instability and remodeling specifically within the centromeres derived from the maternal (M. rufogriseus) complement. This instability included amplification of a satellite repeat and a transposable element, changes in chromatin structure, and de novo whole-arm rearrangements. We discuss possible reasons and mechanisms for the centromeric instability and remodeling observed in all four macropodid hybrids.

About At the Autumn River Camp
Part 1, color, 26 minutes - watch a preview
It is late autumn and the Eskimos travel through soft snow and build karmaks, shelters with snow walls and a roof of skins, in the river valley. The geese are gone but some musk-ox are seen. The man makes a toy sleigh from the jawbones of a caribou and hitches it to a puppy. Next day the women gather stocks of moss for the lamp and the fire. The men fish through the ice with spears. The woman cooks fish while the men cache the surplus. Then the family eats in the karmak.
Part 2, color, 33 minutes - watch a preview
The men build an igloo and the household goods are moved in. They begin the complicated task of making a sleigh, using the skins from the tent, frozen fish, caribou antlers and sealskin thong. The woman works at a parka, using more caribou skin, and the children play. Now the sled is ready to load and soon the family is heading downriver to the coast.
About the Netsilik Eskimo series
These films reveal the live reality of traditional Eskimo life before the European acculturation. The Netsilik Eskimos of the Pelly Bay region in the Canadian Arctic had long lived apart from other people and had depended entirely on the land and their own ingenuity to sustain life through the rigors of the Arctic year. The filming was done during the summers of 1963 and 1964 and in the late winter of 1965 under the ethnographic direction of Dr. Asen Balikci of the University of Montréal, assisted by Guy Mary-Rousseliere, O.M.I., both anthropologists of wide Arctic experience. Quentin Brown was Producer-Director, and Kevin Smith the Executive Producer for the series.

The nation's half dozen major airlines thrived as the 1990s boomed by charging business travelers through the nose for the same airplane seats that vacationers bought cheaply. That business model allowed the airlines to expand their routes, commit to generous wage agreements, order fleets of new planes--and make money.
It worked for United, American, Delta and the rest, even as low-cost competitors started stealing customers, as long as business travelers were willing to pay. But they started balking at those premium fares more than two years ago when the stock market bubble burst and the economy slowed--long before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Yes, but most of the news outlets were reporting the same thing. Their "National Security Analysts" and premier reporters and lead anchors were all quoting thier inside sources.
I think maybe MSNBC and CBS were some of the very few who did not.
Great observation OP.
I heard it all play out live that day, just as you laid out and - sadly - I promptly forgot all about it after West and the events of Thursday night.
Another weird thing is that Tsarnaev's Mom swears that it was Tamerlin who was the suspect made to strip before being placed in the squad car that Thursday night. She said it repeatedly in an interview with CNN's Nick Patton Walsh.
I guess the question is are all of these anomolies just related to the mania and furious pace of unfolding events - or is there more to it?

One key item that would help me be okay, in my mind about this whole Boston Bombing case, would be the video that is claimed to show a suspect placing a bag at the scene of the crime. However, I suspect a cover-up and if my suspicions are correct, we will never see that video. Only time will tell but for now I want to remind people about this video and what happened when it was found. This thread is meant for discussion on this topic only to prevent confusion.
I was at work on 4/17/2013 sitting near the radio listening to the news when I hear that law enforcement had gotten a video from one of the department stores that showed someone placing a bag at one of the blast sites. There were reports that they had full facial recognition on this person and that an arrest was emanate.
I was happy to hear that it looked like police were going to get someone and get to the bottom of this, but what happened next, I still have not gotten over. Within an hour of reports of an emanate arrest, reports came out that an arrest had been made, the suspect was being taken to the courthouse, and a press conference was even scheduled for later that day. I started to tell people and within 5-15 minutes, someone paying attention to a different news source, informed me that a bomb threat had been called into the courthouse and that it was being evacuated. Shortly after we are told by the press that they had the story wrong, had jumped to conclusions, and that no arrest had been made. The press conference was also canceled. Another day went by until the FBI released photos of the 2 suspects all over the news but as far as I know the video of someone placing a bag down has never been released. I will add that the video is mentioned in the official FBI complaint issued against suspect #2.
I suspect that an arrest was made that day and a cover-up took place. I suspect that this person is being protected by the US government for some reason. I suspect that the person in the department store video is the same person that was arrested that day, and that is why the video will never be released to the public. Here are some short video's from that day, that I found, that support my suspicions.
In this first one, around the 1:00 minute mark, you will see a US Marshall's' van go by and the reporter claims that it enters the rear entrance of the courthouse. Was an arrested suspect brought here not so secretly? Did secret court proceedings take place in order to protect or conceal this person? These are things I wonder.
In the next video you will hear a reporter talk about the mixed reports from that day and also mention that the press conference has been canceled. He goes on to say that the FBI seems to be keeping things quiet while the local police seem to be the ones leaking information. This is further evidence of a cover-up on a federal level in my opinion.
The events from this day would get overshadowed by the explosion in Texas that night then later, seemingly forgotten by the press. I post this thread so people don't forget that the video that shows at least one of the bombers has still not been released and likely never will be.
My suspicions can easily be proven wrong and I hope they will be, when the video from the department store is released showing someone setting down and leaving the bag.

It appeares the second bomb was the bag next to the mail box, at least from the photos, so I don't think he could have put it there.
Who is this video suppose to be of?

Interesting stance to take my friend, you're basically admitting that if the video was released, you would dismiss it instantly anyway.
Your mind is already made up, thusly, closed.

Mordekaiser Build Guide by SyNn3r
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Mordekaiser Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Tanking with Mordekaiser
This is a short guide on how to efficiently tank with Mordekaiser.
Mordekaiser is a fighter type champion with great farming potential and incredible survivability. This is a champion that can dominate any lane against almost any other (at least he COULD before all the horrible nerfs). He is not a tank by nature but he can fulfill this role veryy well.
Most people playing Mordekaiser for the first time do not realize the correct item build for tanking. Mordekaiser uses HP as energy to cast his skills. This means more HP = more fuel, and the better your HP regen is the more you can stay on lane without having to run back to base to recharge.
P.S. This guide is pretty old, i'll have to update it a little more, so any feedback would be great, thx.
Full Health/HP regen runes. You won't need anything else. I find no better use for rune slots because cooldown reduction runes are far too weak, and your masteries will be more than enough.
You will need to go full defensive if you want to be tank. The Ardor mastery goes well with Mordekaiser's natural attack speed and Evasion will keep you from takeing a few hits. You might also want Archaic knowlege for the added damage your skills will do, but the offensive masteries are all up to you, but Sorcery is important.
ALWAYS START WITH A REGROWTH PENDANT! This is very important because it will keep you alive and on the field up to level 10 with no problems (unless you play agressive).
The next choice of items would be Mercury's Treads for mobility and because they provide the bare minimum of resistance against offensive spellcasters and they also make you much stronger against crowd control(stun, fear, slow, etc.), wich is essential for any decent tank.
Next on the list is Phage: damage, HP and chance to slow. (By now you can start ganking with your fellow champions)
The next item should be Warmog's Armor because you will still have time to farm and you will need the extra HP and HP regen bonuses.
Next is a choice between Sunfire Cape and Atma's Impaler. This depends on the situation of the game so far and what you need most, but in any case you will have to buy both these items, one after the other.
If the game hasn't ended yet you will need a Frozen Mallet. More HP and 100% chance to slow on hit are always welcome, in case you encounter problems and cannot end the game.
THE LAST ITEM: It's all up to you. If you want massive HP and have the money for it, go for another Warmong's Armor. In case of too many casters, Force of Nature is your best friend. The added movement speed, constant HP regen and magic resistance are ideal for any tank.
By the time you complete all these items you will be so hard to kill that the enemy will just give up and quit even if you don't kill them. Be sure to stack up on elixirs once you're full build.
Banshee's Veil - Useful on any other tank, but too much waste of money
for the extra Mana capacity. Mordekaiser has no need for
mana, keep that in mind. There is no point in wasting
money and item slots. Mercury's Threads will more
than compensate for the spell block.
Leviathan - cheap, but not practical. You won't be making very many kills
and you won't have problems getting money for more expensive
items. In the long run this item will no pay out in favor of
other, more expensive ones.
Guardian Angel - a viable option for annoying your enemies, but only
as your LAST ITEM. With it you CAN charge into all 5 of
the enemy team and actually kill 1-2 of them, but I
would prefere a different item as LAST ITEM, especially
when you have a support champ in your team, such as Zilean.
Spirit Visage - Just not enough cooldown reduction, HP or even the tiny little
extra heal. It's not worth it, so don't waste your inventory slot.
Skill Sequence
Siphon of Destruction gets maxed out first because it is your #1 skill to charge up your Iron Man, it's your bread and butter. Also, the nice AOE and decent damage makes it valuable for farming and pushing. By lategame your attack will be high enough to use Mace of Spades constantly to charge up your shield without wasting too much HP (or any HP at all). One level of Creeping Death is taken at level 5 just as a precaution, in case of early enemy attacks it CAN save your ***.
Summoner Spells
Summoner spells
Flash - will get you in and out of sticky situations. For a tank it is
very usefull.
Heal - the obvious choice if you want to stay alive.
Other spells:
Clarity - completely useless for your champion.
Cleanse - no point in taking it unelss you have too many heroes with DOT skills
(damage over time) eg: Twitch.
Exhaust, Ghost - for offensive builds.
Fortify - not recommended, but just as usefull as on any champ.
Ignite - VERY GOOD IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR ULTIMATE!
Smite - useless, you dont need any help farming or killing minions.
Teleport - again, useless as you will level very fast due to farming abilities,
so no need to get back to your lane quickly. Some might argue that
you will need it in order to quickly defend towers. This is true, but
you will be pushing and destroying enemy towers faster than they can
destroy yours, so don't bother.

From Polio To Prematurity: A Family Benefits From March of Dimes Research
Jan 24, 2014, 12:01 EST
6-Year-Old Born 11 Weeks Too Soon Named March of Dimes 2014 National Ambassador
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A New Hampshire family that benefitted from the March of Dimes 75-year legacy of success, now is helping it achieve its goal of giving more babies a healthy start in life by preventing preterm birth.
Six-year-old Aidan Lamothe, who was born more than 11 weeks too soon, has been named the 2014 March of Dimes National Ambassador. Aidan and his parents, Jill Teeters, a marketing coordinator, and David Lamothe, a civil engineer, will travel the country, compliments of United Airlines, to raise awareness of the need for research and community programs to prevent premature birth and birth defects.
Since 2008, the Lamothe family has participated in March for Babies© as a way to give thanks for Aidan's good health. March for Babies, is the March of Dimes biggest fundraiser that supports educational, community-based programs that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies and provides vital funding for research to understand the problem of preterm birth.
Long before Aidan was born, his parents knew of the March of Dimes and its original mission to combat polio. David's uncle had polio as a child and has been in a wheelchair for most of his life. Jill's father was a "polio pioneer" -- one of the first children to receive the Salk polio vaccine in 1955. The March of Dimes funded the development of the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. Nearly all babies born today are vaccinated against polio, resulting in the elimination of the disease in the United States and most of the world.
"We've seen first-hand the devastating effects of polio; we know the importance of prevention and we know the March of Dimes history of success," said Jill Teeters. "We also know the impact of preterm birth and are thrilled to support the work the March of Dimes is doing today to help women have full term pregnancies and healthy babies."
The first 28 weeks of Jill Teeters' pregnancy was uneventful. But she felt unwell shortly thereafter and was hospitalized as a precaution. Less than 24 hours later, Jill went into labor and required an emergency C-section. Aidan David Lamothe was born at 28 weeks and five days of pregnancy. He weighed three pounds and was only 16 inches long. He was rushed to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where he spent the first seven weeks of his life being treated for breathing problems, his low birthweight, and other prematurity-related issues.
Today, Aidan is a happy, energetic, engaged and loving six-year-old. He enjoys being outdoors, playing baseball, practicing the piano, and doing gymnastics and he loves Legos. Each year on his birthday, Aidan visits the NICU and says "thank you" to the doctors and nurses.
"Aidan would not be where he is today without the knowledge, equipment and treatments available as a result of research supported by the March of Dimes March for Babies," said David Lamothe, Aidan's father. "Volunteering for the March of Dimes has allowed us to give back on behalf of Aidan healthy start and has opened our eyes to the breadth of health issues facing parents and their newborn children."
Most March for Babies events take place in communities nationwide April 26 and 27. To join a March for Babies event near you, visit marchforbabies.org
The March of Dimes National Ambassador Program is an annual campaign, started in 1946, that puts a face on the March of Dimes mission. United Airlines will continue to serve as the official airline sponsor of the March of Dimes National Ambassador Program for the 9th consecutive year.
"At United, so many of our customers and employees' lives have been touched by the March of Dimes, and we are proud to continue our longstanding partnership," said John Rainey, executive vice president and chief financial officer at United and a member of the national board of trustees for the March of Dimes. "We're honored to fly Aidan around the country to share his inspirational story, and we look forward to supporting the Lamothe family as they help ensure more babies get a healthy start in life."
You can watch the inspirational story of Aidan and his parents at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqdqz2L28iQ. Follow the family throughout the year as they travel the country visit: http://www.facebook.com/MarchofDimesNationalAmbassador.
For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

|The Future of Europe
Roger Casale: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way on the point of legal personality. He is arguing that the European Union should not be taking on a legal personality, but he has been saying for years that it already has a legal personality. Is it not the case that, in matters such as trade, the legal personality exists and, rightly so? However, it does not exist in respect of foreign and security policies, nor should it. Has not the right balance been struck? Does it not provide benefits? How can the hon. Gentleman say, on the one hand, that the European Union has a legal personality but, on the other hand, argue that it should not have one in the future?
Mr. Cash: I certainly do not want to enter a protracted debate on that issue, save only to say that there is a distinction under—I think—article 2(a)(i) of the European Community treaty between a legal personality that is established with respect to the European Community and the fact that, contrary to what Lord Maclennan said, there is no established legal personality with respect to the expert witnesses, whose names he will no doubt supply, and the legal personality of the European Union. An important point is buttressed by the other assertions under the system, which is that there should be a constitutional treaty or arrangement and a fusion of the pillars. Throw those into a pot and it is game, set and match—I referred to that when replying to Lord Maclennan. Such matters are serious. The Philadelphia convention of 1787 was a far more worthy body than the Convention. It did not set out with preconceptions. It led to some vigorous debates and I have no doubt that it will be seen to be more impressive in its analysis of matters than the Convention.
I was very enthusiastic about the fact that our European Scrutiny Committee produced a good
Column Number: 025report. However, in case anyone gets too carried away about that, I should add that I tabled 158 amendments to that report, and produced a short minority report to go with it. The principles that lay behind the report led me to do that; it was not that I disagreed with its thrust, but the fact that I had to ask, ''What are we going to do if we want the national Parliaments to be in the driving seat?'' That is directly relevant to the questions that this Convention raises.
I am grateful to the other Committee members for not taking too much umbrage at the points I was making, even though they took up much of their time. They did not take umbrage because they knew that I was trying to be practical. I have never argued for withdrawal. The Minister for Europe summed up my argument today: he said that he wanted repatriation in principle—that he did not want to get into specifics, but that he wanted it in principle. The Committee said that the words ''ever closer union'' must be taken out of the treaties: it said that we want national accountability and national democracy, and that that must be the bedrock of the EU.
However, it is no good saying that in a general way; we must show how it will be done. Therefore, we must tackle the question of the acquis communautaire—as I have so often argued. We must not respect it, as the Laeken declaration—which is the basis of this Convention—states. We must examine it, and have the political will to make the changes that are necessary to reduce the amount of power that has already been extended.
We must also be clear about the importance of political will. Ultimately, that is where this matter will be resolved. We can argue for hours in conventions and committee meetings about whether we should go this way or that, but ultimately our responsibility is to the people who have elected us to this House. They go down to their village halls to cast their votes. This is a matter of incredible importance, for which people have fought and died all over Europe, and I believe that this Convention will completely fail in its objectives if it does not muster the political will to deliver democracy at that level—at the grassroots. I fear that that is not what will happen. I urge our representatives to go back to that Convention with those thoughts in mind.
Several hon. Members rose—
The Chairman: Order. I remind the Committee that we have barely 32 minutes left for general discussion, prior to the referral to the representatives.
9.32 pm
Mr. Connarty: Thank you, Mr. Cook. I am conscious of that fact. I thank the House authorities for constructing this Committee in which we are able to hear the members of the Convention, and I welcome the fact that Members of the House of Lords were enthusiastic in their attendance.
I am not a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and it would have been beneficial to me if members of that Committee had put more questions, because then I might have got some impression of the angle at which they are coming at this Convention. I am a member of the European Scrutiny Committee,
Column Number: 026which has paid great attention to it; we have produced a report and interrogated Ministers—in fact, we even interrogated our parliamentary representatives on one occasion. I am particularly grateful to the substitute member, Lord Maclennan, as well as to my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Edgbaston and the right hon. Member for Wells, for attending.
A few things stand out from the question and answer session that should be taken on board by our representatives. First, they should not compare themselves to the 1787 convention that was referred to by the hon. Member for Stone, because the French revolution of 1789 followed two years later. That was a different period: we are not involved in such a blood-thirsty enterprise. This is a more balanced exercise, and I hope that they will respond to it in a proper spirit.
On the general question of subsidiarity, I have serious concerns. It appears as though, because Members of European Parliament may have set their face against the idea of a second chamber, they have conditioned themselves against any subsidiarity that suggests that the construct they have put together—the co-decision making of the Council and the European Parliament—would be diluted if anything were passed back down to the level at which it should properly be carried out. By that I mean the level of the nation state and, I seriously suggest, the sub-nation state if, like the Scottish Parliament, a sub-nation state body has the responsibility of legislating for European directives. That is an issue to be discussed in the context of subsidiarity.
The Scottish Parliament must draw up laws in Scotland for devolved matters covered by directives. It is an open question—and the Scrutiny Committee's report perhaps opened the door a little further so that people can see the light coming in—as to whether it might be sensible for the Scottish Executive and civil servants to have privileged access to the Commission and those who put together the directives. That way, when the Scottish Executive legislates, it will do so using full knowledge, and not knowledge filtered through the UK civil service. I am not saying that that is the conclusion that will be reached, but it is certainly one that has many strong attractions for me at the moment.
I find what has been said slightly confusing, because we do not really have a UK parliamentary delegation, in which hon. Members are out there on the floor trying to express the view of the UK Parliament. The Conservative member of the delegation, who was chosen by the Conservative party from those available to it, has been putting across a firm view about the future of the European Union that I find quite extreme.
Mr. Cash: Perhaps I ought to mention that the Conservative party did not use whipping or anything of that kind when electing my right hon. Friend the Member for Wells. He was elected in a free vote that was open to members of the parliamentary party. My right hon. Friend can speak for himself, but I should say that the hon. Member for Falkirk, East (Mr. Connarty) knows the divisions in the Conservative party on the subject. He can take it that my right hon.
Column Number: 027Friend the Member for Wells has full authority to speak on behalf of the party, and need not have regard to the fact that he was voted in by a majority.
Mr. Connarty: That is a very interesting insight into the democratic processes of the parliamentary Conservative party. My point, as Hansard will show, is that some of the views that the right hon. Member for Wells holds strongly—and I respect him for it—were expressed in the original statement. He basically suggested not amendment or improvement, but a dismantling of the European Union as we know it. I think that that is quite an extreme view, although I may have a jaundiced view of it, having heard it repeated by the hon. Member for Stone time and again as we wandered around the accession countries.
Scrutiny and accountability must be markedly improved if we are ever to reconnect with the people who sent us here. We lose credibility over matters such as the refrigerator mountain and the directive on which I questioned the Minister today, which, if put into law, will stop people using food supplements and herbal medicines. The vast majority of people think that that is a subsidiarity matter, and an issue for the UK Parliament, but it has been directed from Europe. I see so many notes expressing worry that the praesidium might, after all talk is done, turn out a document that we will have to rubber-stamp or to which we will have to make a few minor amendments.
If the process does not come from the bottom up, and if all the civic and other groups are just window dressing, we will have a much more jaundiced view of what is going on in Europe, and the oligarchy will continue to rule, instead of the democrats telling the oligarchy that it is time to move aside and deciding the programme for the future of Europe.
The Chairman: Order. Perhaps I ought now to make a point that I was saving for the end of the sitting. I have deliberately been lenient this evening in not insisting, as I should have done, on the use of constituencies rather than names. I allowed that because it is a mixed meeting of both Commons and Lords. It is probably appropriate to say that right hon. and hon. Members of the Commons should recall that we refer to our colleagues by the name of their constituency. To help with that, we have an aide memoire that is easy to read. I call Lord Howell.

Washington, DC ' Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06, Vice Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Constitution subcommittee, issued the following statement on President Trump–s nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court:
"The selection of Judge Neil Gorsuch to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court represents a promising choice by President Trump. As a judge on the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and in his extrajudicial writing, Gorsuch has demonstrated a strong grasp of the Constitution, exhibited an interpretive approach similar to that of Justice Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas, and showcased top-notch writing skills. He has impeccable academic credentials and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate to his current position in 2007.
If you created a nominee from scratch with the goal of filling Scalia's large shoes, such a nominee would look a lot like Neil Gorsuch.
At the same time, being strong on paper tells a lot but it doesn't tell everything. Perhaps the most important quality for a constitutionalist Supreme Court justice is something that Scalia demonstrated in spades: backbone. There will be times when the proper reading of the Constitution will diverge sharply from the conventional wisdom of D.C. elites, the legacy press and the legal intelligentsia. Scalia never wilted in the face of intense criticism; indeed, he reveled in it, as it was a sign that he was properly discharging his constitutional duty.
I can't tell you whether Gorsuch possesses a Scalia-esque spine. Time will tell. If he does, he has a chance to be a great justice and fitting heir to the Scalia legacy."?

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - The Alberta Energy Regulator said on Monday it is responding to a crude spill by Husky Energy Inc in Canada's oil-rich Alberta, and while the pipeline in question has been shut, the leaked volume and cause are unknown.
According to the agency, the incident happened last Thursday, and the company is still working to isolate the oil, which leaked into the Coxhill Creek stream west of Alberta's largest city of Calgary. There has been no impact to wildlife, according to the regulator.

Synopsis: "I believe a man's worth cannot be defined solely by his goodness but also by his desire to battle that in him which is not good."
George Vandenberg is in the midst of that battle, a broken man with a volatile temper and haunted by the memory of the young woman he once loved and "accidentally" killed. Wrestling with the guilt and pushed by his psychiatrist to confess the circumstances of her death, he teeters on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
The past collides with the present when the doctor turns up dead, brutally stabbed to death in his office. Stunned and confused, George emerges as the primary suspect even as he becomes a target himself. To prove his innocence, George must face the police, his manipulative wife, and the past he's been unable to forget. When the truth is finally divulged, no one, including George, is prepared for the collateral damage or the shocking identity of the killer.
Review: George Vandenberg is a man with a troubled past and who is a violent blackout drunk. George has been under a lot of pressure from his nagging wife and Dr. Michael, his therapist, has been pushing him to come forward about his past. When Dr. Michael turns up dead, George isn't sure if he did it because he doesn't remember anything during the timeframe of the murder. While Detective Cancini is searching for Dr. Michael's murderer, George is flashing back to his past. Yet, things are not quite as they seem all around…and the murderer may be closer than anyone suspects.
'A Guilty Mind' is a good mystery, but it seemed to go very slowly as you are led through George's past and Cancini's investigation. I did not like George or his wife and George only redeemed himself at the end of the story. As the mystery unravels, it is a corker which will leave your jaw dropping. I didn't really like any of the characters, except the detectives, but there was something compelling about the story which kept me reading.

User:Darkxarth/RHoD/Blood Ghost Berserker
This monster was originally an unimaginatively built Bugbear Barbarian with an interesting fluff hook, that he dyed his skin and fur light grey to signify that "he walks in the world of the dead." Unfortunately, while I believe I have improved on the build of the monster, I have gone no further towards meshing it with the hook than the RHoD module does. I am still considering changing this monster more in order to better match the crunch to the fluff.
Blood Ghost Berserker CR 4
This hunched humanoid has a flat, elongated face with two short horns that curve backwards. It is clearly very strong, but its lean frame implies great agility. Its short, coarse hair and thick skin are dyed a mottled grey, but its heavy battle axe is dyed red with dried blood.

Special Ability Descriptions
Mad Foam Rager (PHBII pg 80): When fighting, you can endure tremendous blows with little visible effect. As an immediate action, you can choose to delay the effect of a single attack, spell, or ability used against you. The damage or effect does not take hold until the end of your next turn. You can only use this ability while under the effect of your rage. You can activate it once every time you use your rage.
Blood Ghost Berserkers aren't named just for their dyed fur. They appear and disappear likes ghosts, striking killing blows and then disappearing into the shadows. Blood Ghost Berserkers always begin combat by entering a rage. Then, using their reckless offense and power attack feats, they perform a spring attack on a random opponent. This comprises their entire strategy, unless there is nowhere for them to spring to after the attack, in which case they simply charge using reckless offense and power attack.
