Hull have recalled forward Mark Cullen from his loan spell at Bury.
Cullen returned to Humberside earlier in the week to undergo a scan on a shin injury and his parent club have now called time on his second spell at Gigg Lane.
Having featured for the Shakers during a spell last term, the 20-year-old made seven starts in 12 appearances this season and scored his only goal when he snatched a late leveller in the 2-2 draw at Stevenage last month.
A statement on Bury's official website said: "Mark returns to Hull with our thanks and best wishes for the future."

When people think of Mexican restaurants in Phoenix, and they think of the best they've ever had, they think ZTejas Southwestern Grill.
Why do people love Mexican food so much? Whether you're deep in the heart of Mexico, vacationing at a coastal resort, or right here in Arizona, it's become the comfort food of the Americas.
Everyone has their own definition of comfort food. For some it might be momma's meatloaf. For other's it's a burger and fries. But if you've got the taste for unique Mexican food, then that's where your comfort lies. At ZTejas Mexican restaurants in Phoenix, we certainly delivery on everyone's favorites: tableside guacamole, Baja fish tacos, smoked chicken enchiladas, or chicken, beef and shrimp fajitas. Those are Mexican staples that just about everyone loves.
The interesting thing we've done at ZTejas restaurants is to put a new spin on these beloved dishes, or to take that Mexican flavor and add it to something you might not think you'd find at Mexican restaurants in Phoenix.
Take the Crispy Salmon entrée from our dinner menu. You are used to seeing salmon at a restaurant featuring American fare or seafood. What we've done at ZTejas is to make it our own, adding crab, tomato, avocado salad and a roasted tomatillo sauce to bring that Mexican flavor to a non-traditional Mexican dinner.
Here's another favorite – the Chorizo-stuffed pork tenderloin. You've probably had chorizo in a breakfast taco or maybe an enchilada. But have you had it stuffed in a pork tenderloin, with poblano peppers, jack cheese, roasted garlic sauce and sour cream? Only if you've been to Z' Tejas Southwestern Grill.
For a vegetarian dish that even the carnivores among us will die for, try the Wild Mushroom Enchiladas. It is Mexican comfort food (enchiladas), but with roasted crimini and Portobello mushrooms, avocado mango relish, ancho-mole cream sauce, sour cream and jack cheese. These enchiladas are incredible, and like nothing you've ever had in Mexican restaurants in Phoenix.

The future of European club rugby could become clearer this week, with representatives of the Celtic and Italian unions set to meet the Rugby Football Union in an attempt to reach a new agreement with the English and French clubs.
One source said on Sunday night that this was expected to be a "critical week" for hopes of a deal being forged to ensure that all six nations are represented in a new European tournament next season.
Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie is expected to be key to any breakthrough, and the weeks of mistrust appear to have been replaced by a greater degree of level-headed rationality.
There is still a significant gap between, on the one side, the English and French clubs, who are pushing ahead with their breakaway Rugby Champions' Cup having served notice to leave the Heineken Cup in June 2012, and, on the other, their fellow European stakeholders.
However, with the Celtic nations and Italy set to compromise on the demands by the English and French for a three-way split of revenues and merit-based qualification from the RaboDirect Pro12, there is an increasing sense that a deal can be struck.
The biggest hurdle to be overcome appears to be that of governance.
Premiership Rugby and its French counterparts insist that their new tournament should be run by the clubs, not the unions, which would be a major departure from the current European Rugby Cup structure.
It is understood, however, that a compromise of each country having one club representative and one union representative on a new 12-man board will be put on the table.
The main area of contention remains the weight of the votes that each country would be allocated.
As for the funding distribution, the Celtic nations have also to agree how money would be split between the Pro12 teams.

A 43-year-old man was arrested for stealing an electric razor from a Flatbush Avenue store on Aug. 13.
An employee told police that he was working at the store between Avenue H and E. 32nd Street at 12:59 pm when he noticed the suspect place an electric razor into his bag and attempt to leave. Employees found four razors and a juice box when they checked the suspect's bag, police said.
Police arrested a 42-year-old man who they say robbed another man at knifepoint inside his E. 22nd Street apartment on Aug. 12.
The victim told police that he was inside his apartment between Cortelyou and Clarendon roads at 4:20 am when the suspect drew a kitchen knife and grabbed the victim's cellphone.
A 65-year-old woman was arrested for biting and scratching a man on Avenue K on Aug. 7.
The victim told police that he was between E. 28th and E. 29th streets at 9:54 pm when the suspect scratched his arms and bit his stomach.
A 22-year-old man was arrested for robbing a man at gunpoint on Ocean Avenue on Aug. 6, taking jewelry, cash, and narcotic drugs.
The victim told police that he was between Avenues H and I at 12:45 am when the suspect drew a firearm and took his valuables.

The Sculptor's Apprentice Resources
Two of the hardest things about starting out as a sculptor are the questions "What should I use?" and "Where can I buy it"? We have spent hours and hours doing research to find out which materials we need to use, and where we can source those materials at a reasonable price and quantity.
Because of those difficulties, and because we truly believe in the abundance principle, we share all of the resources that we use at The Sculptor's Apprentice. This is a constantly growing list, and everything on it you would find in our studio if you visited tomorrow. We only recommend products that we actually use. Personal preference plays a HUGE role in many of these, and we want to make sure we are as helpful as possible.
Some of these links are affiliate links, which means that if you buy from them, we will get a small percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you to help with the cost of producing this site. If you are uncomfortable with that, just type the words into Google or Amazon. We only recommend products that we actually use.
One of the hardest, and most expensive parts of beginning a figurative bronze sculpture is quality reference photos. Hiring a model for photos is an intimidating, expensive, and challenging adventure. These two websites make it incredibly easy to find and download hundreds of models in thousands of poses. We have a subscription to both sites and use them on a weekly basis. For large commissioned work we still hire models and usually spend $500-$1000 on the photographer and model, but for all of our gallery work, and even concept sketches, Human Anatomy for the Artist is our best and only resource. They even have free samples that you can download to illustrate the high resolution.
Oil Based Clay
Clay for sculpting is a super-duper personal preference thing. Some people love Brand X, and others swear by Brand Y. So, if you have a clay that you like, and it isn't creating any problems for you, then ignore this part. BUT … if you aren't sure, we would suggest starting here. Chavant makes great clays, awesome clays, for lots of different applications (even sculpting full size cars!) We use The NSP Hard, in the color green. Hard is REALLY hard, but it is also offered in soft and medium. For us NSP is just the right combo of smooth and a little sticky.
You can get it here.
Mold Making Silicone
For almost all of our silicone molds we use GT Products 6142 Standard grade Condensation cure silicone. It is the prefect combination of strength and consistency. It is easy to apply to a detailed surface, and is one of the stronger silicones we have used. See it here (call them to order).
It is a tin cure silicone, so you will need a gram scale to measure.Here is the scale that we use.
Clay Sculpture Tools
This is a tough one. We use SO MANY clay tools. We have a mechanics tool chest full of them. This tool chest in-fact. Many of the tools that we use on a regular basis we have made using a bandsaw blade, or some other type of repurposed material. Look for a tutorial on that in the future. But for now, here is a list of the store bought tools that we frequently use.
- Sculpture House Double Wire End Modeling Tool 8″.This tool is great for roughing in volumes.
- Dental tools. Almost all of these are super usefull for different details. (maybe not the mirror!)
- Steel Slicks.Almost every final texture we sculpt is softened with one of these before it's done
More to come! This is a work in progress!

The global supply of base money is growing at a ferocious pace. The US is tapering (still expanding the money supply, but at a slowing pace), and the velocity of money is likely to pick up causing broad money measures to continue expanding. More dramatically, the rest of the world has joined in our money printing efforts, with the central banks of UK, ECB, Japan, and Switzerland aggressively increasing the size of their balance sheets. Productivity is growing far slower than the money creation, so we're seeing currency depreciation that is likely to accelerate. If all the major currencies depreciate simultaneously, exchange rates won't necessarily move. Rather the prices of real assets (like commodities and real estate) generally increase. Slack in the labor market is shrinking, so the price increases in real assets may spread more generally and produce moderate inflation.
The big challenge is that the money printing has already pushed up the price of assets that provide yield to very "optimistic" levels. The cap rates on real estate (basically a measure of yield) are low, reflecting both the low interest rate environment and the minimal risk premium. The pricing for companies that provide commodities is similar. This makes it difficult to get excited about buying a lot of the traditional depreciation/inflation hedges. Investing is 1/3 about making the right prediction, but 2/3 buying at the right price.
My best guess is that moderate inflation is about 18 months away, but the market will begin positioning for it sooner. I suggest purchasing a basket of assets that do well under stagflation regimes (low growth, moderate inflation), as well as under pure currency depreciation scenarios. This includes a focus on precious metals, with smaller allocations to REITs with pricing power (like hotels), the equity of companies that benefit directly from rising commodity prices (miners, farmers, drillers, wildcatters, energy servicing companies etc), pure commodities, and maybe a little Bitcoin. Insofar as you hold equities, it's smart to focus on emerging market economies; EM equities are trading much cheaper than the US and those countries will likely benefit disproportionately from continued money printing. Probably the clearest advice is what not to own. Fixed income of all types will do poorly.
The Growing Money Supply:
The central banks of the world are in full out money printing mode. The US led the way beginning in 2008 and ultimately produced a staggering 5x increase in the base money supply, but Europe and Japan have been ramping up their own efforts. While the US federal reserve is "tapering", this simply means they're printing money at a slower rate than before, but they're still printing, and as I'll discuss shortly, the US money supply is likely to continue growing quickly. Central banks are printing money faster than productivity is growing, which means the value of currencies will depreciate in real terms. We usually think of the value of a currency as an exchange rate, but what if all currencies are depreciating together? You get price increases in real assets. Whether that turns into general inflation depends on whether labor can demand wage increases, and that depends on the amount of slack in the labor market. Economists are debating that last point at length, but the debate centers around a pretty narrow range. Is "hidden" unemployment an extra 1% or 3%? The slack in question is really minimal compared to the upward pressure on demand from the flood of cash, and global GDP growth will continue eroding whatever slack remains in the coming year.
Distinguishing between inflation and global currency depreciation is tricky. The former is a self-sustaining cycle that must eventually include wage increases and rising consumer demand. If there's enough slack in the labor market, it's possible to get global currency depreciation without inflation. In an inflationary scenario, "useful" assets like housing and crude oil are more likely outperform. In the depreciation without inflation scenario, currency alternatives like gold will likely outperform. Whether depreciation will turn into inflation requires a complicated and contentious discussion of the amount of slack in the global economy.
Monetary Basics:
Back in 2008, market watchers noted that the Fed Balance sheet had ballooned from $800 billion to $2,200 billion dollars, and it has continued rising to over $4,000 billion. Economics 101 tells us that Price x Quantity = Money Supply x Velocity of Money. The equation tells us that if the money supply increases and neither velocity nor productivity changes, then prices must rise. In even simpler terms, if there's more money chasing the same goods, prices will rise.
So why didn't prices increase threefold in 2008? The velocity of money collapsed. People hoarded their cash and used earnings to pay down debt instead of invest or consume. Similarly, banks hoarded their capital instead of making loans. None of this was surprising in 2008, or 2009, or even 2010. But now in 2014 with the economy humming along with moderate growth, it's surprising that the velocity of money remains at recession levels. There's a lot of debate on exactly why this is, mostly centered around a reduction in the size of the "shadow banking" system. The bigger question is when will velocity normalize and what "normal" means. I don't have good answers for you here, except that the rise in asset prices, expected low real yields, decreasing labor slack, and increasing money printing out of the weaker parts of the global financial system (ECB and Japan), will likely push up the money multipliers sooner rather than later.
Bonds Moving With Stocks:
People often think of bonds and stocks as moving in opposite directions, but this has only been true for about 1/3 of the time over the last 50 years. When we're in a deflationary environment (or a high real growth environment), the correlation is negative, as it has been for the last 12 years. But when inflation is the focus, the correlation is positive, as it was from 1970 to 2000. The last 5 years have had the most negative bond/stock correlations of all time, and I think that will soon reverse. Here is a chart of the stock/bond correlation using 5-year rolling returns. Being short bonds is currently a crowded trade, but the fundamentals are correct. Interest rates are near all time lows and at the end of a generational cycle.
What To Buy
I've written in the past that gold is a mediocre inflation hedge. The best predictor of gold returns is not inflation, but real returns. When other assets offer opportunity, investors prefer them. When other assets look ugly, investors are content keep their wealth in gold. Quantitative easing has pushed every asset class to at least fair value if not far above fair, and with interest rates suppressed globally, real returns are likely to be very low over the next decade. This makes gold an attractive inflation hedge in the current economic regime. I haven't kept a close eye on the commodity markets over the past year, so I'm wary of offering specific recommendations. Personally I've bought a basket with an emphasis on natural gas, for similar reasons to what I wrote two years ago. For investments of longer than a year, I generally prefer investing in companies that profit from commodities rather than in commodities themselves. Equity investment provides a "tailwind"; even if commodities remain at current prices, the companies can earn a reasonable return and their equity may still appreciate at 5%+ a year. Second, while you can buy physical gold and store it, it's not feasible to do this for things like crude oil or corn. Owning commodity futures for more than a year incurs roll costs and unfavorable tax treatment, and ETFs are forced to roll their holdings and get taken advantage of by traders. With all that said, I think that US equity markets are generally overpriced, so I'm also including some pure commodities in my basket.
A speculative candidate for addition to your portfolio is bitcoin. Bitcoin is a cryptographic method of transferring value. There's debate as to whether it's best thought of as a currency, commodity, or simply a method of transaction like Visa. Regardless, it supports a fascinating variety of new technologies that may become integrated into the real economy in all sorts of interesting ways. The biggest names in Venture Capital like Andreessen Horowitz as well as major players like Richard Branson and Li-Kashing are pouring money into bitcoin related start-ups. It's inherently deflationary by nature as well, so investors may like allocating some portion of their wealth to it as a hedge against currency depreciation and inflation. To be clear, bitcoin is not an investment, it's speculation. It could easily collapse to worthlessness in the near future. But...I think it's a smart addition as a small part of your portfolio, and I think it has the potential to achieve 5x returns in the near future.
Your Thoughts?
I generally lack the time these days to delve into specific assets in great detail. Do you like a particular commodity, company, or equity index as a depreciation/inflation hedge? I'd love to hear from you.
The trade I've recommended most strongly in the last 3 years was shorting the Yen, and that's worked out very nicely. The easiest money is already captured so I've cut my position to 25% of the original size. The long-term fundamentals continue to support shorting the Yen and I expect to leave on the remaining position for another 5 years or so. The basic reasoning that I put forward back in January of 2012 remains sound.

It's kinda funny that we find this candy so good! The three colors of the candy – a broad yellow end, a tapered orange center, and a pointed white tip – mimic the appearance of kernels of corn. Corn! Well, we do…even if it was originally called chicken feed! Americans and Canadians consume about 20 millions pounds a year. Whoa!

It was the third child's third birthday yesterday. It is amazing to me how much a kid changes in three years. Not only does he walk but is able to communicate with surprising sophistication. ( I WAAAANNT THAT ONE........no the green one not the blue one)
Anyway, He started going to pre-school, which he will continue doing when Winter quarter starts tomorrow, and enjoyed it for the most part. We both hated drop off time and though he clearly was quite happy being there, was equally happy when I picked him up. Now, he will be in an older class with a more formal educational program. ( I don't know more reading? what the heck do they do in preschool?) I do know that he does not get to wear diapers anymore.
One thing that is obvious to me about him is that as he gets older he will need to be involved in more constructive physical activities like gymnastics or something that involves body slamming; like a mosh pit at a Ministry concert. (are they still around?)
In reality, we probably will enroll him in tap classes. ( knowing tap could help him with getting girls and come in handy in a mosh pit)
Happy Birthday!

The U.S. Defense Department gave special recognition to gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members and LGBT civilian workers for their "dedicated service to our country" on June 25. But that was not enough for OutServe-SLDN, an advocacy group for LGBT military personnel. The DOD did not mention transgendered uniformed personnel. OutServe-SLDN Executive Director Allyson Robinson stated earlier this month:
While acknowledging transgender civilian DOD employees, the memorandum notably omits any mention of the contributions of transgender people in uniform — presumably because transgender people remain barred from service by outdated and obsolete medical regulations. Transgender people have served this nation with pride, honor, and distinction — and continue to do so in the hundreds, if not thousands. It's past time to honor them for their service and sacrifice, and past time to end the discredited and obsolete practice of forcing them to serve in silence and fear.
June is "Pride Month" for the LGBT community. The DOD celebrated it with a red-white-and-blue poster for the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute at the Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, which bears this quote from Barack Obama, "For more than two centuries, we have worked to extend America's promise to all our citizens. Armed Forces have been both a mirror and a catalyst of that progress, and our troops, including gays and lesbians, have given their lives to defend the freedoms and liberties that we cherish as Americans."
On June 26, the DOD will continue its celebration of LGBT pride with recognition of the December 22, 2010 repeal of the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The keynote address will be given by White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The Boston Public Schools have proposed to keep elementary and middle school walk-zone preference as part of a new school choice plan — an important piece of information for current and future parents that was missing from Jeremy Fox's article on the Josiah Quincy Elementary School in Chinatown and potential impacts of the ongoing school choice process ("Ripples of worry over school's future," Metro, Oct. 22).
Under all but one of the five Boston schools proposals (the no-zone model), walk zone would work much like it does today: A student has a higher priority to attend an elementary school that is within a 1-mile radius of the student's home or, for a middle school, a 1½-mile radius, even if that school is across a zone boundary line. Students would receive assignment priority at these schools, just as they do now.
In the case of the Josiah Quincy, the majority of students living in the South End, Bay Village, Back Bay, and Chinatown would continue to have access through walk-zone preference.
Ultimately, the school system will present a plan that takes into account the feedback of more than 4,000 Boston residents. We've heard that parents love walk-zone preference, and we will include it as an element of any final proposal.

Summary of Sida/World Bank Conference
Summary of Conference Proceedings
The World Bank Group has launched consultations to gather input for a new energy sector strategy, which is expected to be completed in early 2011. The consultations are part of a broader effort to gather input from a wide range of perspectives on how the World Bank Group can best help developing countries improve the access and reliability of energy while helping facilitate the shift to a more environmentally sustainable energy development path.
On the 23rd of February 2010 the World Bank met with the Swedish stakeholders to discuss the new energy strategy.
Recognizing their common mission to help low income countries to achieve sustainable economic development for poverty reduction, participants at the Conference presented and exchanges viewpoints on the issues, challenges and lessons learned in the implementation of relevant energy policies, strategies and programs.
Session 1: Issues and Challenges
- Jamal Saghir, Director (Energy, Transport and Water), Sustainable Development Network, World Bank; and Johan Schaar, Department Head (Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Services), Sida.
Mr. Saghir's presentation – "The Dual Challenge of Development and Sustainable Energy Service Provision – The Coming Energy Strategy of the World Bank" – outlined key features of the dual-track strategy being formulated through a global consultation process.
The overall intent is to better position the World Bank to help its client countries achieve the twin objectives of expanding energy access and improving the reliability and quality of energy service delivery, while also facilitating the global shift to a more environmentally sustainable energy development path.
Mr. Schaar's presentation – "Securing a Climate Adaptable Global Energy Supply: Issues and Options" – introduced key principles underlying Sweden's "Draft Policy Framework for Environment and Climate Change" and the embedded "Draft Energy Policy Framework".
Sida is working to better alogn its development assistance in key areas (agriculture/forestry/marine ecosystems; water resources management; energy; and urban development) to the emerging policy framework.
For energy, Sida intends to pursue a dual-track strategy to support (i) expanded access to modern energy services based on low-carbon options, and (ii) scaled-up deployment of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency measures.
During the discussion period, exchanges between presenters and participants revealed a broad degree of convergence between the energy assistance strategies being formulated at the World Bank and Sida: both developmental partners recognize the need to pursue a two-prong strategy involving scale up of assistance to low-income countries, especially those of Sub-Saharan Africa, to "close the energy access gap" alongside support for low-carbon energy development to address the climate change challenge.
- Xiaodong Wang, Senior Energy Specialist (World Development Report), World Bank; Anders Wijkman, Tallberg Foundtation; Ousmane Dione, Lead Water Resources Specialist (South Asia Region), World Bank; Lasse Gustavsson, Secretary-General, WWF for Nature, Sweden.
Ms. Wang emphasized the importance of collective action without delay by all nations to contain global warming within the two-degree target, stressing the need for a paradigm shift (incorporate low carbon energy options into city development plans), climate-smart policies (embedding greening opportunities into national economic recovery/growth initiatives), deploying low carbon technology based on common but differentiated responsibilities, and scaling up of financing.
Mr. Wijkmann recalled previous proposals, such as the "Energy After Rio Report", which had already presented compelling reasons for countries to act collectively to "Do Energy Right", including health and gender equity co-benefits. He emphasized the importance of placing "Electricity Access/Connectivity" at the core of climate change deliberations, going forward. In particular, he advocated the need for all stakeholders to work towards adopting a "No Regrets Strategy" to reinforce linkages between poverty reducing economic development and climate change –for a start, explicit targets for energy access need to be adopted at the upcoming MDG Conference in 2010.
Mr. Dione's presentation covered the merits of identifying and promoting a benefits sharing approach to achieve local, national and multi-country "buy-in" for integrated river basin-wide development of water and energy resources.
He presented compelling case studies from West Africa (Senegal River Basin and Niger River Basin) to highlight critical success factors at the technical, institutional, environmental/social and financial levels, that secure benefits for the different stakeholders groups.
In the ensuing discussion period, Lasse Gustavsson posed the following challenges for further consideration during subsequent phases of the World Bank energy strategy formulation process: (i) How can the new World Bank energy strategy spur on sustainable reductions in the carbon intensity of the entire World Bank lending portfolio?; and (ii) how can the new World Bank energy strategy assured the sustainability of client country eco-systems? In terms of moving ahead on the basis of "common but differentiated responsibilities", a consensus emerged among participants about the need to overcome underlying tensions between short-term perspectives of some key stakeholder groups (politicians, conventional suppliers of energy services/fossil fuels) and longer-term horizons needed to achieve transformational changes that would accompany low carbon development paths.
Session 2: Exchange of Implementation Experience
Energy and Climate Change: Presentations by the World Bank team covered two pilot activities involving a "learning-by-doing" approach to foster on-the-job transfer of know-how to client country counterpart professional, thereby enhancing institutional capacity to tackle key challenges inherent in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
- Assessing Country Energy Sector Vulnerability to Increased Climate Variability: Jane Ebinger, Senior Energy Specialist (ESMAP), World Bank.
Jane Ebinger facilitated a video presentation to illustrate the consultative processes used for the ESMAP co-sponsored pilot activity – a climate vulnerability assessment of Albania's hydropower dominated electricity supply system. This series of pilot assessments activities, which are intended to inform the design of climate change adaptation measures, is being replicated in Uzbekistan and other states of Central Asia, the Caribbean sub-region, and possibly, Africa.
- Exploring Country-specific Low Carbon Growth Options: Todd Johnson, Lead Energy Specialist (Latin American and Caribbean Region), World Bank.
He presented the Mexico study, one of a series of country-specific pilot studies (covering Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland and South Africa) sponsored by the World Bank/ESMAP under the Clean Energy Investment Framework (CEIF).
The pilot studies have contributed to ongoing deliberations by policy-makers in each country to ascertain the following: (i) What does low carbon development look like? (ii) How much might low carbon development options cost? (iii) Which near term (low carbon development) measures can be done based on existing technology? (iv) Why are (low carbon development) measures not being put in place at a faster pace?
A key lesson to be drawn from the above exchanges of implementation experience is that there is much that can be done by countries to begin addressing the (adaptation and mitigation) challenges to climate change with available technology and know-how.
Energy Access and Renewable Energy Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Presentations were made by Tjaarda Storm van Leeuwen, Advisor (Africa Region Energy Team), World Bank and Anne-Lie Engvall, Programme Officer – Energy (Department for Long-term Programme Cooperation), Sida.
- The World Bank's Africa Energy Access Scale-up (AFREAS) Program: This highlighted ongoing and planned technical assistance activities (co-funded by ESMAP and Russia Trust Funds), that are helping to build institutional capacity in the region to address the challenge of expanding energy access following environmentally sustainable approaches. A key feature is the option to extend recipient-executed grants to augment technical assistance capabilities of rural energy agencies in about ten countries of Sub-Sahara Africa.
- Energy and Sida's Country Program for Tanzania: This elaborated the comprehensive scope of institution-building support for energy sector development in Tanzania, and also highlighted steps underway to maximize collaboration on energy access expansion activities with other development partners.
Both presentations identified situations in which renewable energy options already represent least cost approaches for diversifying energy supply and closing the energy access gap in Sub-Saharan Africa.
During participant discussions with presenters, there was consensus on the need to avoid duplication of efforts among development partners. Furthermore, institutional capacity building efforts were key to the design of national strategies and programs to scale-up energy access and accelerate deployment of renewable energy technologies.
Concluding Roundtable:
The four Panelists representing different Swedish corporate perspectives – Anders H. Nordström, ABB (private sector), Östen Ekengren, Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Göran Ek, Swedish Society for Nature Conservancy and Anders Nordström, Sida – concluded the day's deliberations by reflecting on and sharing their viewpoints about the multiple challenges that development partners face going forward as they strive to scale-up support to low-income countries to secure climate adaptable energy services for poverty reducing economic growth.

Oh but the horse steps up the amber stair
for she is your sister
the horse of the see-through stairs,
the jingling bridle in the naked hand.
And you? Her constant sister of invention.
In her first major collection for a decade, Judith Kazantzis proves herself again to be the constant sister of invention and imagination. Meditating on the deaths of her parents and of her brother, and on the arrival of a new grandchild, she reconfigures Greek myth from a Feminist perspective to address today's inequalities. The poems range across the violent geography of Palestine and Iraq to the bright landscapes of the American Southwest, from the sensual utopia of 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' to the dark inner continents of bereavement and grief. Sister Invention combines irony and wit, dramatic brilliance and profound quiet as she explores what it means to be a sister and a daughter, a mother and a grandmother.
'extraordinarily seductive… the pure work of poetry, tacking and veering
between vernaculars and lyrical writing'' Poetry London
'everything she tries seems to work.' PN Review
'a poetry of sensuous immediacy, couched in an agile, conversational style'
To buy Sister Invention, you can contact Judith via this site.
Sister Invention Launch Party
Judith will be hosting a book launch celebration in Lewes on April 24th. If you'd like to attend, contact her by email here.
What's New
Judith's tenth volume, Sister Invention, is published in April 2014, featuring seventy-two poems and a beautiful cover image by Carolyn Trant.
Carolyn Trant says of Clickety Clackety: "Wickedly grim and darkly subversive." Judith's newest book was published in September 2012, following a launch at the Lewes Artwave Festival.
The Odysseus Poems: Reissued
Judith presents Odysseus' journey for a new generation of readers, in a new edition by Waterloo press. More in Books.
George III Handprinted Pamphlet

Main Milestones
Climate Change and Food Systems
Annual Reviews, 2012
During the second half of the twentieth century, global food supply and distribution developed rapidly enough to keep abreast of population growth and, for many regions, to bring gains to food security in terms of more affordable, reliable, and safe food for all sectors of society. The last decade has seen a rapid reversal of these gains. Achieving food security in the face of accelerating food demand, competition for depleting resources, and the failing ability of the environment to buffer increasing anthropogenic impacts is now widely seen as the foremost challenge of our time. Climate change is one among a set of interconnected trends and risks facing agriculture and food systems. Other omponents of globalenvironmental change that are driving the future of food security include rapid changes in biodiversity, land cover, availability of freshwater, oceanic acidification, and the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. Future food security for all will ultimately depend onmanagement of the interacting trajectories of socioeconomic and environmental changes. Climate change, and especially increased climate variability, is, however, arguably one of the greatest challenges to food security, particularly via its effects on the livelihoods of low-income individuals and
communities,which have less capacity for adaptation and depend on highly climate-sensitive activities such as agriculture.

Learning Market Update October 2013
The fast changing nature of technology is continuing to have a significant impact on businesses and how they work. This month we take a look at what is called the consumerisation of IT and its impact on learning.Technology in corporates is being outpaced by changes in consumer technology. The nature and impact of consumer technology change is not waiting for corporate strategies, policies or guidelines and in many respects is increasingly driving and shaping strategies. BlackBerry devices are a textbook example, corporate IT departments fought to keep staff on BlackBerrys for many good reasons including security but the consumer world was moving to iPhones and Android devices. Corporate IT departments were left behind and are only now catching up with consumer devices such as smartphones or tablets. BlackBerry failed to keep up with the changes and went from a $83bn company to a $5bn company.
The consumerisation of IT is not limited to hardware. Webinar style communication software such as Skype or Google Hangouts are being adopted by staff in much the same way as staff already use Google to access information.
This consumerisation is creating experiences that staff expect to be replicated at work. These include high quality of screen and technology experiences - and much greater control. People increasingly have more control, such as when they watch TV or whether they bank online. Most households now own at least three internet connected devices and use these seamlessly to perform tasks, moving from one device to another.
This technology, such as smartphones, is being brought into the workplace as customers adopt new technology. Customers are complaining and asking questions via social media even if companies have not set up these channels formally. Gartner have estimated that companies that do not respond via social media channels will experience a 15% increase in the churn rate for existing customers.
Fundamentally customers and staff have become much more technology savvy and are driving changes independently of any elearning strategy or technology strategy in businesses.
What It Means For Learning
This consumerisation of IT will have an impact on learning as staff:
- Expect to seek and access information online as they need it
- Expect to work seamlessly across devices; they expect to start a task on one device and finish on another
- Have a low tolerance for technology that is difficult to use or doesn't work
- Have online social networks where they seek support which are increasingly work-related
- Expect a more personalised experience
- Expect more control over when and how they learn
The developments in technology are exciting and offer lots of opportunities for corporate learning. However, learning departments may struggle to keep up and find themselves being driven by consumer trends and by learners themselves.

Some optimistic predictions about the fate of the CorruptMedia from Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel. Here's the rub, but you'll want to read it all:
The point is that many in the press are every bit as corrupt as conservatives
have accused them of being. The good news is, it's almost over. The broadcast
networks, the big daily newspapers, the newsweeklies — they're done. It's only a
matter of time, and everyone who works there knows it. That may be why so many
of them seem tapped out, lazy and enervated, unwilling to stray from the same
tired story lines. Some days they seem engaged only on Twitter, where they spend
hours preening for one another and sneering at outsiders.
By the next presidential cycle most of these people will be gone. They'll
have moved on to academia or think tanks or Democratic senate campaigns, or
wherever aging hacks go when their union contracts finally, inevitably get
voided. They'll be replaced by a vibrant digital marketplace filled with hungry
young reporters who care more about breaking stories than maintaining access to
some politician or regulator.
Every criticism about the CorruptMedia is absolutely valid and Carlson and Patel are correct about the trajectory of what's coming. But I don't think we'll ever lose the mainstream media completely. Most media outlets — broadcast, cable, print, and digital — are owned by monster conglomerates who can accept the red ink. And, believe it or not, as bad as CNN's ratings and programming are, it's a very profitable enterprise.
Mostly, though, the left-wing Gang of 500 is not going to let go of The Narrative without a helluva fight, and if this campaign season has proven anything, it' that the CorruptMedia still has the power necessary to control the media and political conversation. That power isn't what it was four years ago, but it's still formidable. Were it not, Obama wouldn't be in a close race today. He'd be sitting at 43% and facing the humiliating reelection defeat he deserves.
Though I hope I'm wrong and Tucker is correct, I think the fight will end up (in my lifetime) with New Media in a strong enough position to mount a real battle for The Narrative — a sort of trench warfare that will never end.
I'll take that.

Chantel St Claire-; The smooth face you used to display without the utilization of cosmetics begins to look wrinkled and loaded with almost negligible differences after we cross the age of 30. Truly you should think how maturing incurs significant damage on our once lovely face. All things considered, do you know the explanation for it? The collagen and hydration begin to take the downshift after a timeframe. Be that as it may, how that happens, you might ponder that.

Ada seorang pengangguran bernama Asep. Dalam kejenuhan mencari pekerjaan, akhirnya dia pun mencoba membuka sebuah klinik pengobatan, walaupun dia bukan dokter ataupun pernah kuliah kedokteran.
Supaya orang-orang mau berobat ke klinik nya, Udin membuat iklan menarik :
"Kalau sembuh cukup bayar 100 ribu, kalau tidak sembuh kami bayar anda 1 juta".
Konon ada seorang dokter tak sengaja membaca iklan itu dan langsung ingin mencoba.
Asep: "Sakit apa Pak..?"
Dokter : "Mulut hambar, kalau makan tak terasa apa- apa ".
Asep : "Oh baiklah. Itu cukup diberi obat nomer 22 sebanyak 3 tetes di dalam mulut".
Dokter : "Wah! Minyak rem ini, bukan obat.!"
Asep : "Hah, bapak sudah bisa merasakan lagi. Silahkan bayar 100 ribu".
Dokter itu jengkel karena merasa dikerjain, selang seminggu kemudian dia datang lagi.
Asep: "Sakit apa lagi..?"
Dokter : "Saya hilang ingatan".
Asep : "Baiklah, saya akan memberikan obat nomer 22 dan gunakan sebanyak 3 tetes dalam mulut".
Dokter : "Wah! gak mau, itu minyak rem yang kemarin kan.?"
Asep : "Wah, bapak udah bisa mengingat lagi? Berarti sudah sembuh. Tolong bayar 100 ribu".
Dokter tersebut makin jengkel karena merasa dikerjain lagi. Seminggu kemudian dia datang lagi berniat balas dendam. Kali ini dia mau pura-pura sakit yang parah biar dokter gadungan itu tidak mampu menyembuhkan.
Asep : "loh.. sakit apa lagi, Pak.?"
Dokter : "Mata saya rabun tidak bisa melihat apa-apa dengan jelas".
Asep : "Mohon maaf, Pak.., kalau sakit seperti itu saya tidak bisa menyembuhkan. Ini silahkan ambil 1 juta (sambil menyerahkan selembar uang dua ribu rupiah)".
Dokter : "Wah! Ini kan cuma dua ribu rupiah ! ".
Asep: Wah, bapak sudah bisa melihat dengan jelas? Berarti anda sudah sembuh. Silahkan bayar 100 ribu"

Finding Your Blogging Niche
How To Finding Your Blogging Niche?
Finding your blogging niche should be one of the aspects of blogging which the blogger carefully considers before starting a blog. This is especially important if the blogging is being done for the purpose of financial compensation. Ideally a blog owner should select a blog subject about which they are passionate and knowledgeable. However, bloggers should also carefully consider the direct competition as well as the purpose of the blog before starting their blog. This article will discuss these considerations in greater detail in an attempt to assists bloggers in choosing a subject for a new blog. This information is applicable to both bloggers who are completely new to blogging as well as experienced bloggers who are considering starting a new blog.
#Isolating Your InterestsOne of the first considerations for a new blogger is his personal interests. This is important because a blogger who is passionate and knowledgeable about a particular subject will not only have an easy time coming up with ideas for new blog posts but will also likely be highly successful. This success will likely be attributable to the fact that blog visitors can sense his passion for the subject matter and greatly appreciate the knowledgeable posts which are informative and accurate.
The interests of the blogger may run the gamut from subjects which are widely popular to subjects which are of interest to only a small subset of the population. However, there will likely be interested readers regardless of the subject of the blog. Therefore bloggers are not discouraged from opting to blog about even the most obscure subjects. However, bloggers who are seeking financial gain through high blog traffic should consider selecting a topic which appeals to a larger audience.
#Evaluating the CompetitionOnce a blogger has selected one or more subjects he is considering for a blog, it is time to begin evaluating the competition. This includes viewing other blogs covering the same subject matter. This will not only give the blogger a good indication of whether or not the market is already saturated with blogs on this subject and the quality of the existing blogs on this subject. Based on this information the blogger can make an informed decision about whether or not he feels capable of competing for blog traffic with the existing blogs.
#Considering the Purpose of the BlogAnother important consideration for bloggers is the purpose of the blogs. Blogs can be created for a variety of reasons including financial compensation, personal use or to promote a cause. Bloggers who are starting a blog for personal use may only wish to consider their own interests when starting a blog because they are not likely seeking high blog traffic. However, bloggers who are creating a blog for purposes of generating a profit or promoting a cause do have to consider factors such as the ability to generate blog traffic. In these cases the blogger should choose a subject which appeals to a large audience. Additionally, the Internet should not already be saturated with blogs on this subject because it will likely be difficult for the new blog to garner a share of blog traffic. Finally, blog owners should consider the quality of the blog they are capable of creating on a particular subject. The blogger should choose a subject where he is confident he can not only make regular posts but also ensure these posts are original, informative and interesting.
When Others Do Not Approve of Your Blog
Regardless of the topic of a blog, all bloggers face the potential for situations in which others do not approve of their blog. Although this type of reaction is popular with blogs focused on political or controversial issues, bloggers who maintain a personal blog may also face disapproval from those who do not approve of the bloggers choices in life. This article will discuss subjects such as dealing with negative comments on a blog, dealing with criticism from friends and family members and will touch upon situations in which blogging can cause legal problems for the blogger.
Bloggers who are concerned that negative comments may influence other blog readers have a few options for dealing with these negative comments. One way to do this is to set the blog to not allow comments. This will effectively eliminate the comments but it will also eliminate comments from supporters of the blog as well. Another option a blogger has is to simply delete the negative comments as he finds them. This is not a very effective method because other readers may have time to read the comments before they are deleted. Bloggers who are online often and are not concerned about negative comments appearing on the blog for a short period of time may utilize this method. Another method of dealing with negative comments includes rebutting these comments on the blog. Finally, bloggers often have the opportunity to ban visitors who are leaving negative comments from making future comments.
#Dealing with Negative Comments on Your BlogNegative comments posted on a blog are one of the most common forms of disapproval a blog may receive. These comments may be posted in response to a specific blog posting or may be posted as an objection to the blog in general. These negative comments may be very troubling to the blogger but fortunately there are some methods for dealing with these comments.

Finally, bloggers often have the opportunity to ban visitors who are leaving negative comments from making future comments.
#Dealing with Criticism from Friends and Family MembersBloggers may also face criticism from friends and family members for the content of their blogs. Friends and family members may not use the comment section to express their disapproval but may express their concerns directly to the blogger in person, via telephone or via email. This can be a difficult situation for bloggers because they may be torn between maintaining the blog according to their vision and keeping their friends and family happy. In many cases friends and family members may object to a blog because they believe it can be potentially harmful to the blogger or because they are concerned about how the blog will reflect on them. In these delicate situations the blogger has the option to either delete or modify the blog or to speak to the friends and family members to explain his feelings without making changes to the blog.
#When Blogging can Cause Legal ProblemsBloggers should be aware there are some situations in which their blog can cause legal problems. Making statements about another person which are untrue and defamatory can result in the subject of the blog seeking retribution for libel. Other blog postings can also be found to be illegal for a wide variety of other reasons. Bloggers may assume freedom of speech laws protect them fully but there may be situations in which the statements in a blog are not protected under freedom of speech laws and the blogger faces legal ramifications for his postings. Blogging which violates the copyright laws of another can also cause legal problems.

Say hello to my new favorite scarf! I've been wearing this bad boy every chance I get recently. Even when it's warmer than usual outside, and people give me the "really?" look. Yes, really. I love the ethnic print it has which gives this plain ol' outfit a little something extra. Plus it has elephants on it, my favorite animal! What more could a girl ask for?

United Kingdom
The UK consistently ranked third, fourth or fifth globally, along with France and Germany, in terms of the annual value of its conventional arms exports.
Countries supplied
Key customers include the USA, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and other NATO partners. It is also a major exporter to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as in sub-Saharan Africa.
Irresponsible transfers
Generally supportive of strict criteria for arms transfers, the UK has nonetheless supplied arms to countries where there is a substantial risk that they could be used to commit serious violations of human rights. For example, the UK supplied arms to the Sri Lankan government knowing of its repression and UK national legislation is being reviewed following evidence that the UK supplied small arms, ammunition, munitions and armoured vehicle equipment to Libya under al-Gaddafi as well as small arms to Bahrain and law enforcement equipment to Yemen.
Position going into the ATT negotiations
In 2005, the UK became the first major arms trading power to support an Arms Trade Treaty covering human rights. With France it helped establish the EU code that has now become the EU Common Position on Arms Exports, the starting point for UK policy positions on the ATT. It also co-authored various UN General Assembly resolutions between 2006 and 2009 leading to the current negotiations. The UK has generally supported the Golden Rule and has progressive positions on the treaty's scope and implementation mechanisms (for example backing robust transparency measures). However, as with France and Germany, if there is not a majority of states pushing for strong rules, the UK could succumb to US pressure to water down the treaty text on human rights protection in order to accommodate China and Russia.

Broadway's Tony-winning musical The Book of Mormon opened its L.A. run Wednesday night at the Pantages Theater with a star-studded celebration that drew such A-listers as Cher, Viola Davis, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lisa Kudrow, Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. But the two faces that attracted the most attention were the Broadway company's original stars — The New Normal's Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad, whose NBC sitcom 1600 Penn is slated for mid-season.
Rannells was lucky to get a night off to take in the premiere. "It's totally surreal, but we're very, very excited to see the show," said Rannells, who considers his Mormon successor, Gavin Creel, "one of my oldest and best friends."
Drawing parallels between The Book of Mormon and his NBC sitcom Rannells said, "The overarching message of Book of Mormon is about faith and how all things sound ridiculous and silly and made up, but if it preaches acceptance and love, then what's the harm? I don't think we ever converted anyone to Mormonism through that show, but we made people smile. In a different way with The New Normal I hope we get to show audiences an honest portrayal of the challenges of being gay parents."
Gad, meanwhile, just wrapped his third day of work on 1600 Penn's second episode. "We have some very exciting episodes coming up that keep getting better and better," he said. "We have Stacy Keach coming on as a very Conservative bigoted senator who has to vote on legislation that Jenna Elfman's character is trying to pass."
Cougar Town's Busy Philipps was one of the lucky ones who got to see both Rannells and Gad's original Broadway production and the L.A. engagement that features Creel and actor Jared Gertner (now playing Gad's role). "It was my favorite thing I'd ever seen and I'm so excited to see it again in L.A.," said Phillips, who was overwhelmed by the premiere's star turnout. "I was feeling a little demoted, like maybe they should have sent a car for us. And then I saw Andrew Rannells walk up after parking in our same parking lot. If he didn't get a car, we didn't need one either."
Book of Mormon's L.A. run continues through Nov. 25. For more information visit bookofmormonthemusical.com.

Life Insurance Checklist:
When a loved one dies, you must complete a variety of tasks. Shortly after the funeral or memorial service, it is important to take care of certain financial obligations. Taking care of these tasks now will help to avoid delays and confusion that may occur if these tasks are neglected. This life insurance checklist is designed to help you get through the weeks immediately following the death of a loved one.
Obtain certified copies of the death certificate.
The family doctor or medical examiner will supply and sign the death certificate within 24 hours of death and state the cause of death. The remainder of the form is usually completed by the mortuary handling the final affairs and filed with the state registrar. You will need a certified copy of the death certificate every time you apply for benefits or need proof of the death. It is best to get 10 to 15 certified copies, depending on the complexity of the estate. Photocopies will not be accepted.
Obtain certified copies of the marriage certificate.
If you are the spouse, you may need proof of marriage before you can inherit from the estate, existing policies, or investments. You will also need proof of marriage when applying for Social Security benefits. Death and marriage certificates are kept by the state where the death or marriage occurred. Visit www.cdc.gov/nchs for state-by-state information on requesting certified copies of death and marriage certificates.
Contact a Legal Advisor.
Settling an estate can be a complicated affair. When a loved one dies, you should seek legal advice on matters such as:
- Re-recording of property deeds
- Disposition of stocks/bonds, investments, savings and checking accounts, and other assets
- Disbursement of the deceased's estate
- Disbursement of the insured's business and estate assets
- Drawing up of a will for the widow or widower
Visit a trust officer and tax attorney.
A local trust officer is an important resource for survivors. This individual is an expert financial advisor who deals in investments, estate settlements, and household finances. A tax attorney or CPA should be consulted if you think that the deceased's estate might be subject to federal taxation.
Locate any life insurance or accidental death insurance policies.
Be sure to look around for any life insurance policies and/or accidental death insurance policies your loved one may have had. Be sure to contact insurance companies, motor clubs, and your loved one's employer.
File a life insurance claim.
We know how difficult of a time a loved one's death can be. If you are filing a claim, we encourage you to reach out to us. If you are the beneficiary, you'll be facing crucial financial decisions at a time when you may be least prepared to make them. To add to the burden, the amount of money involved may be very large. Feel free to reach out to the licenced agents at Hagaman to help you with filing your life insurance claim. We can offer guidance on pay out distribution options as well as help create a lifetime income stream from the death benefit to protect present and future needs.
In most cases, life insurance companies require only two forms to establish proof of claim: a claimant's statement and a death certificate or an attending physician's statement. Companies reserve the right to request further information.
Contact the Social Security office.
You will need to contact the Social Security office to check eligibility for lump-sum benefits and to inquire about monthly benefits. Remember, you must apply for Social Security benefits. They are not automatic. Delays in applying may result in the loss of certain benefits. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov for more information.
When applying for Social Security benefits, you will need:
- A certified copy of the death certificate
- The deceased's Social Security number
- Approximate earnings of the surviving spouse in the year of death
- Record of deceased's earnings in the year prior to death (W-2 form or tax return)
- Social Security numbers of the surviving spouse and minor or disabled children (disabled before age 22 and who remain disabled)
- Birth certificates of the surviving spouse and minor or disabled children (disabled before age 22 and who remain disabled)
- Proof of marriage (certified copy of certificate)
- Proof of citizenship
- Picture identification
- Checkbook or bank account number so that benefits can be deposited directly into your account.
Contact the employer for death benefits.
If your loved one was employed at the time of death, contact the employer to check for death benefits. Since most people are covered by group insurance where they work, inquire about the benefit due to you and how to file a claim. Also, ask about pension fund benefits, accrued vacation and sick pay, terminal pay allowances, disability income, and credit union balances. Pay special attention to the deceased's hospital, surgical, and disability coverage to see whether you and your dependents are still eligible for benefits and, if so, for how long.
Contact other organizations.
Contact unions, service organizations, or professional organizations the deceased belonged to in order to find out whether you are eligible for any benefits.
Alert banks and credit card companies.
Contact your bank or financial institution(s) concerning any individual or joint accounts held in your loved one's name. This may involve closing the accounts or transferring their control to you, another family member, or your attorney, if you choose. If you have an attorney, he or she may be able to complete this task for you. You will also need to discuss the status of any certificates of deposit, bonds, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), or similar savings accounts. Remember to think about safe-deposit boxes. Alert credit card companies. If you held a joint account with the deceased, the company may want to issue you a new card.
Gather all current bills.
Many installment loans, service contracts, and credit card accounts are covered by credit life insurance, which pays off the account balance in the event of the death of a customer. Make a prompt request for release to each bank in which the deceased and you held a joint account. This is preliminary to your withdrawing funds from that account. Property-casualty insurance policies should be updated to reflect changes in ownership.
Cancel all subscriptions and automatic payments.
If the deceased ordered medications by mail, you should cancel the service. Cancel or change the name on any automatic bill-paying services and magazine and newspaper subscriptions. Any mail addressed to the deceased should be marked "Deceased – Return to Sender" and given to the mail carrier or post office.
Locate other important papers.
Other important things to think about are:
- Business agreements
- Securities certificates
- Real estate deeds
- Wills
- Automobile registration
- Installment payment books

We will be having a field work day this Saturday, February 23rd starting at 9am at the PHS baseball field. The main objective is to get most/all of the snow off our field so that we can use it sometime in the next month. Please meet at the PHS baseball field at 9am, and bring your snow shovels, snow blowers, flame throwers, and any other device that is good for removing snow. This is an optional activity, but the more people who come and help the faster and more efficient the clean up will go. Please let me know if you have any questions or ideas.

Chapter 4 Summary
The scene is a late afternoon in early October. Reta has dropped by the Orangetown Library to pick up a book by Dennis Ford-Helpern, The Goodness Gap. She is acutely aware of the absurdity of believing that it is possible to obtain virtue simply by reading a book, and she knows that she could have purchased the book while in Toronto the week before. Instead, Reta has chosen to pursue the more difficult path of being good. She views her presence in the library as an act of the good citizen who continues to support her local public library. Thus, she believes that she has made the first small step in her resolve to reconnect with her daughter.
Tessa and Cheryl are the two local librarians, and each possesses a deep empathy for Reta and Tom in their present crisis with Norah. The...

After weeks of speculation, Lionsgate has officially announced that Sam Claflin is set to star as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
The ever charismatic and clever District 4 tribute teams up with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), among others, in a bid to survive the 75th Annual Hunger Games, or Quarter Quell.
Claflin previously hit the big screen in Snow White and the Huntsman and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
With filming of the blockbuster sequel scheduled to start in September, the 'Catching Fire' cast has been filling up feverishly over the past few weeks.
Last week, Stephanie Leigh was tapped as District 1 tribute Cashmere, and Maria Howell was cast as Seeder, a District 11 victor.
The week prior, four cast slots were filled. E. Roger Mitchell will star as Chaff, Seeder's fellow District 11 tribute, while Smallville actor Alan Ritchson was named as Gloss, a former Career tribute from District 1. If that wasn't enough, Bruno Gunn will star as muscle man Brutus, a former District 2 victor who returns to the arena.
Also cast was Meta Golding, who will play fierce golden-fanged Enobaria, the other District 2 tribute who is known for the brutal way she came to win the Games.
The newcomers join returning principals Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark), Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket), Woody Harrelson (Haymitch Abernathy), Lenny Kravtiz (Cinna) and Stanley Tucci (Caesar Flickerman).
The Francis Lawrence-helmed Hunger Games sequel, a Lionsgate production based on the second book in the Suzanne Collins trilogy, is expected to start shooting next month and is due in theaters November 22, 2013.
The story sees Katniss and Peeta returning home victorious after winning the gladiatorial games, only to be called back into action.

Katie overhears James and Ty talking. James doesn't want Ty to keep Katie there. Ty and James continue to argue, and Ty says that the men who came for her said she needed her meds, but that he doesn't believe them. James doesn't believe Katie's story, even hearing it from Ty, and says that maybe the men were right. Ty says that if James had met the guys after Katie, he would believe Katie, too. James doesn't want Katie to steal his stuff. Hurt, Katie shows herself. She says she will just leave. They both end up convincing her to stay, but she does so planning to leave the next day.
