Americans are firmly convinced that the Democrats are the party of giveaways. How do we know? According to a new poll from the Democratic organization Public Policy Polling, 44 percent of Americans think Santa Claus would vote Democrat, against 28 percent who say he is a Republican. Nonetheless, the American public thought by a margin of 63 percent to 37 percent that Mitt Romney was more likely to receive a nice gift from Santa this year; Obama won just a bare majority of gifting support, at 51 percent to 49 percent.
The truth, of course, is that Santa Claus would most certainly be a Republican. First, he's religious; the Democratic Party has made it clear that the only Santa Claus is the government. Second, Santa doesn't tax you in order to give you gifts worth less than your tax dollars. Third, Saint Nicholas himself gave poor women money so they could get married and avoid becoming prostitutes, not free contraception so they could testify before Congress.

EKU Earns More Than $303,000 in Energy Efficiency Rebates from KU
Eastern Kentucky University has received more than $303,000 in energy efficiency rebates from Kentucky Utilities Company's Commercial Rebate Program. The program is designed to offer qualified commercial customers of KU and Louisville Gas and Electric Company cash incentives to replace aging, less efficient equipment and lighting.
Specifically, the university made energy efficient improvements in 75 campus buildings, including Keen Johnson Building, Crabbe Library, Alumni Coliseum and Perkins Building. While lighting retrofits generated more than $164,000 of the rebate, the remaining rebate balance came from the university switching to more efficient motors, motor controls and pumps in campus buildings.
"These improvements have helped EKU become a leader in energy efficiency in the Commonwealth," said EKU President Dr. Doug Whitlock. "This rebate from Kentucky Utilities shows we're on the right path toward a greener university."
"We consider Eastern Kentucky University's rebate a success that can serve as a model for our other commercial customers to use energy more wisely while lowering operating costs," said Chris Hermann, Senior Vice President of Energy Delivery for KU and LG&E. "The university will see the immediate financial benefit from our rebate program that helps offset the costs of improvements, guaranteeing energy savings for years to come."
The university took advantage of the utility rebate program with assistance from Siemens Building Technologies, a business that helps clients find ways to become more energy efficient. The rebate from KU will help offset the costs of the university's larger 13-year performance-based sustainability project with Siemens that began in 2008.
The university anticipates saving nearly $8,000 per day – translating to $2.9 million annually – in energy expenses after its energy-efficient upgrades are completed under this 13-year project. The improvements that qualified for rebate dollars contribute to the total energy savings.
"Already we've recognized substantial savings associated with these projects. Additionally, we enjoy the satisfaction we feel in doing the right thing by reducing our energy consumption," said Rich Middleton, EKU Director of Division of Facilities Services.
The LG&E and KU Commercial Rebate Program was approved in 2008 to encourage qualified commercial customers to replace inefficient equipment with high-efficiency lighting, motors, pumps and air conditioning equipment. These improvements help lower customers' overall energy costs and usage, which in turn helps reduce overall energy demand on the electric system.
The program is funded through 2014 and is offered to KU and LG&E commercial customers who contribute to the Demand Side Management program as part of their monthly bills.

Lord Eden of Winton asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Environment has received no firm proposals for development of the Wisley airfield site. The site is, however, one of several being investigated by Surrey County Council in their waste local plan as a possible site for a large-scale waste treatment and processing facility.
Lord Eden of Winton: My Lords, how is it possible for seemingly sensible people to put forward proposals for a large-scale industrial waste disposal processing plant on this site which would result in an industrial complex covering some 28 acres, with buildings 100 feet high, chimney-stacks more than 200 feet high, resultant heavy traffic, noise and widespread air pollution causing lasting damage to the long established, world renowned gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society on the other side of the road? Will my noble friend ensure that such a proposal never gets off the ground?
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, I suggest that my noble friend cools it. As part of the local plan process, objections to Surrey's waste plan, including those to the inclusion of Wisley airfield in the list of potential sites, will be heard at a public local inquiry due to open on 5th November 1996. My right honourable friend sees no ground for his intervention in the plan at this time.
Lord Finsberg: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that I must declare an interest in this site in that as a DoE Minister I was taken to the ombudsman on the grounds of maladministration when I took a decision on the future of Wisley Airport in the early 1980s? However, at that time there was no question of any nonsensical development like this even being considered.
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, I am interested in my noble friend's background to this whole situation. Under the Government's policy for green belts, industrial development of this nature is inappropriate in the green belt. There is a general presumption against inappropriate development except in very special circumstances.
Your Lordships may be interested to know that when I lived in Cambridge I constantly had a sticker on the back of my car saying, "Keep Trumpington's Green Belt".
Lord Eden of Winton: My Lords, in the week of the Chelsea Flower Show, would it not be appropriate for my noble friend now to give categoric assurance that such a gross act of vandalism should not be allowed to take place?
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, my noble friend again presumes that the matter has gone beyond a very early stage. One of the troubles with Surrey is that it is running out of existing landfill capacity. It has put forward a number of sites. Suitable sites outside the green belt are difficult to find because almost all open land is within the green belt and no major industrial sites are available for such use. However, I have already said that development of this nature is thoroughly inappropriate in a green belt.
The Countess of Mar: My Lords, is the noble Baroness the Minister aware that in the United States of America, which has plans for such incinerating plants, the requirement is that they do not produce more than 0.001 per cent. of dioxin, which is produced when plastics are burnt? Can she assure us that no plant in this country will be allowed to emit greater levels of dioxin? Can she reassure us that any incineration plants will have scrubbers in their chimneys so that any effluent will be prevented from escaping?
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, very tempting! I am not terribly good on dioxins. However, I believe that the best I can do is to give the noble Countess the Government's view on waste. They published their White Paper, Making Waste Work, on 12th December. It includes targets to reduce the proportion of controlled waste going to landfill to 60 per cent., and to recover the value--for example, through waste-to-energy--of 40 per cent. of municipal waste by the year 2005. I commend the White Paper to the noble Countess.
Lord Williams of Elvel: My Lords, did I hear the noble Baroness aright when I understood her to say that development of this nature is "thoroughly inappropriate" in a green belt? If that is so, will she indicate that the Government take that view, and will she convey it to Surrey--whatever the disadvantages that the noble Baroness described--so that the noble Lord, Lord Eden, is satisfied?
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, any planning application for development which is regarded as inappropriate in a green belt, and which the planning authority is minded to approve, must be treated as a departure from the development plan and referred to the Secretary of State. This gives him the opportunity to decide whether there are any issues which merit his intervention to call in the application for his determination.
Baroness Strange asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, the decision on where to sell the material residues of the distilling process is a matter for the industry itself.
Baroness Strange: My Lords, I thank my noble friend the Minister for that fairly informative and fairly helpful reply. Does he not agree that in all fairness, if other countries ban the import of our beef, we should ban the export of Scottish vegetable protein with which most of our beef cattle are currently being safely fed? That is particularly so since, when winter comes, such cows as we have left will need protein vegetable food.
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, my noble friend is right. Protein is of extreme importance during the winter months. There are other sources of protein such as peas, beans, soya bean and linseed. As concerns banning exports from this country, the European Union ban was imposed under Community law. Unilateral action by any individual member state is illegal.
Lord Mason of Barnsley: My Lords, will the Minister explain why America and Canada banned the import of British beef and to what extent those bans adversely affect the United Kingdom beef industry? Secondly, did we contest those decisions at the time?
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, I cannot tell the noble Lord whether the decisions were contested at the time. However, the banning of British beef imports by America and Canada is a matter for those countries, although we might not like their decision.
The Earl of Balfour: My Lords, are Her Majesty's Government aware that the producers of brewers mash, distillers dark grains and what used to be called millers offal often achieve a better price if such produce is put aboard a ship for export rather than distributed to farmers in this country?
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, perhaps it would be a good idea to give my noble friend Lord Balfour the figures relating to the export of distillers waste in 1995. The total production of distillers waste in this country was 207,000 tonnes. The total production of dark grains was 39,000 tonnes. That is the dried protein supplement which I believe is treated with molasses. The total export of waste was 8,000 tonnes. My noble friend Lady Strange mentioned Finland in her Question. I believe that only 190 tonnes of waste were exported to that country. We import waste from other countries amounting to 160,000 tonnes.
Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, what steps have been taken so far, as indicated by the noble Earl's colleague
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, as the noble Baroness will know, many acres designated for set-aside are totally inappropriate for grazing by beef cattle. The animals might get fodder or gut fill out of it, but there is certainly no protein level from the green herbage growing there.
The other question concerned progress. I assume that the noble Baroness refers to the Statement made yesterday in another place by my right honourable friend the Prime Minister which was repeated in this House. My right honourable friend said of the proceedings aimed at lifting the ban:

There are no signs that the Alex Rodriguez — Should we call it: Saga, Issue, Circus? — is anywhere near conclusion.
Quite the opposite, actually. The sides are digging in and ramping up. The high ground has been abandoned, replaced by publicity stunts, gotcha moments and enough he said, she said nastiness to make "Jersey Shore" seem like "Masterpiece Theater" by comparison.
All the major actors in this drama (soap opera? comedy?) insist the process must play out without the blaring rhetoric that — among other things — is robbing attention from the pennant races. One MLB official bemoaned yesterday, "We are having a pretty good season, not that anybody has noticed."
But the likelihood for quiet anytime soon is slim and, well … forget slim; it's none. The sides appear unwilling to cede a second of the 24/7news cycle, so there is a non-stop spin cycle of innuendo, interpretations and — occasionally — facts.
And the expectation is it will be quite a while until A-Rod's grievance arbitration is heard to its conclusion. Union head Michael Weiner said at the All-Star break a decision would not come before November at the earliest, and that does not seem in dispute. The problem, in the short-term, is making the calendar work for all parties to have mutually free time, including arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
Remember — beyond all the legal haggling and technicalities — A-Rod has a right to be at each hearing so the case either has to be heard in New York or wherever Rodriguez is on the road, and accommodate him getting to a stadium on time to play.
One involved lawyer said, "forget this being done in September, bet on early November, maybe later."
However, much of how this proceeds is really in A-Rod's hands. So let's consider what is motivating him:
1. PLAYING: A lot of folks insist Rodriguez can't love the game and, at the same time, do so much damage/dishonor to the sport. But many spouses love their mates and are unfaithful. People are three dimensional, pulled by different desires and pathologies.
I have no doubt A-Rod loves the game. Loves to prepare, loves to share his expertise, loves to play. The theory that has always made the most sense to me is Rodriguez is fighting like heck so he can finish this year on the field and then he will let his lawyers try to negotiate the best reduction possible from his 211-game suspension when the Yankees season concludes.
A-Rod probably knows his hips and, to some extent, knees are time bombs and this is the healthiest he will ever be again. Plus, even with the public bravado from his camp about escaping any penalty, there is a general acknowledgment Horowitz is going to uphold some or all of the suspension. Rodriguez turns 39 next July. What kind of player could he hope to come back as after another long layoff? And would the Yanks even bring him back, considering all the bad blood, or would they try to go after whatever portion of his contract remains? And would any other team take a chance on a player that has his combination of age, ignominy and decay?
Clearly, if A-Rod wants to exhaust as much of his hunger to play as possible — and I believe he does — it is now or very possibly never.
2. MONEY: Rodriguez did not assemble the League of Lawyers just to help attorneys everywhere buy beach homes. He is spending a fortune — not just on lawyers, but private investigators, spokesmen and crisis managers — to try to protect a larger fortune. He is due $86 million over four years after this season and any mitigation of the 211-game suspension would save some portion of that.
3. HAIL MARY: The A-Rod camp continues to aggressively attack both MLB and the Yankees. It often feels as if it is seeing whether any of these forays have traction — legally or in public relations. Maybe one enemy or the other will make a tactical mistake in response, creating a loophole to either diminish the suspension or establish firmer footing for medical malpractice.
Ryan Braun used a technicality to get completely out of his 2011 steroid suspension and his lawyer then, David Cornwall, is A-Rod's lead lawyer now.
A-Rod's camp has tried to depict a conspiracy between the Yankees and MLB. But these are two distinct issues and — when it comes to the medical matter, particularly — Rodriguez still must decide how far to go. His associates have talked about "preparing" a grievance against the Yanks through the union or a malpractice case against Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad. But that reminds me of the Mets saying they are "monitoring" free agents in the offseason — which is spin for "we want to make our fans think we might do something when we know we won't."
To that end, will A-Rod's group actually go beyond "preparing?" A legal case would almost certainly open A-Rod's medical/drug history for discovery. That is not something he probably wants, specifically his 2009-10 involvement with Anthony Galea, who was convicted of smuggling illegal performance enhancers from Canada to the United States.
On Monday, in a statement, the Yankees said any medical questions raised by A-Rod and his counsel should be "directed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital." An MLB official surmised that was a signal by the Yanks to the A-Rod camp that a big-budgeted hospital quite familiar with fighting malpractice cases will be part of this, as well. As the MLB official said, "Even A-Rod doesn't have as many shark lawyers as Presbyterian."

Counter-narratives only make sense in relation to something else, that which they are countering. The very name identifies it as a positional category, in tension with another category. But what is dominant and what is resistant are not, of course, static questions, but rather are forever shifting placements. The discussion of counter-narratives is ultimately a consideration of multiple layers of positioning. The fluidity of these relational categories is what lies at the center of the chapters and commentaries collected in this book. The book comprises six target chapters by leading scholars in the field. Twenty-two commentators discuss these chapters from a number of diverse vantage points, followed by responses from the six original authors. A final chapter by the editor of the book series concludes the book.College of the Holy Cross This essay explores the cultural dimension of autobiographical narrative, focusing especially on the way in which cultural texts and aquot;texturesaquot;become woven into the fabric of memory.

"Finally, a ministry without discrimination, without hate, only love for all mankind
and welcomes and respects all religious beliefs.
Come without hate nor malice toward anyone or anything
and you will know the 'True Love of Life' as designed by the Creator."
The "True Love of Life" is the true design of The Creator and the Universe.
-Theo. Klebes, Chaplain, World Life Ministry of Faith
"A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modem science, might be able. to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge."
-Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
World Life Ministry of Faith is an independent multi-faith ministry. Our doctrine follows the teachings of God the Creator, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha and many other great peacemakers of the world. The ministry is about what is inside of your heart which are inspired by the true unedited written word of God. World Life Ministry of Faith does not want you to abandon your current beliefs or religious teachings. World Life Ministry of Faith wants to strengthen the good in your beliefs and share your beliefs here so to help others understand your teachings. World Life Ministry of Faith also identifies and questions why there are such contradictions and harm, verbal or physical, to anyone or anything, unnecessarily. Any one of the organized religions, be it ancient and modern have in their teachings about the good in man and the evil in man. All have come from the teaching of God, the Creator, of the great peacemakers through the ages and the natural order of designed life. World Life Ministry of Faith and the Universal Life Church will only share with you the understanding of the written words by the scribes hundreds of years ago. World Life Ministry of Faith wishes to build a better understand between faith, science and the natural order of life.
Many old writings known as the Bible, Torah, Quran all claim to hold the true word of God, yet all three differ. There is no reason to give up your personal belief these 3 books or any other written scriptures, but we invite you to join us and come with an open mind and loving heart as we read and share our views, understanding, respect, acceptance and rationality of the written word.
World Life Ministry of Faith praises the teachings from God, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha and other biblical prophets, peacemakers and scholars from ancient and modern times as well as the believers of all natural order.. We know from our life long learning of the belief we grew up with, that man has more influence over man, than God, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or any other deity. Preachers, ministers, priests, imams, rabbi's and popes, all follow man's written word as is and is satisfied, instead of looking into the teaching and preaching love not hate, love of not fear of, self sufficiently not greed, peace not war, be defensive not offensive. All prejudices and discrimination must be abandoned. World Life Ministry of Faith accepts all people regardless of their personal religious differences from yours or World Life Interfaith Ministry, color of skin, disability, gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. World Life Ministry of Faith has adopted the Universal Life Church Monastery Ecclesiastical Proclamation of Canon Law of 2007 in its entirety.
World Life Ministry of Faith teaches only the love and the innocence that God instilled in us at birth and therefore can conquer hate and injustice even though there are times we must defend our beliefs teach others who are willing to listen what we believe. Let those who desire a life full of love, absent of hate, come on their own. Welcome them with an open heart and embrace them with the love that the Lord God has placed in each and everyone of our innocent hearts. World Life Ministry of Faith starts with the God given love He put into the creation of each and everyone of us and then we feel that love grows and becomes our guide in our everyday life.
These teaching stories of love come from the Torah, Qur'an, and the old and new testaments of the Holy Bible. There are many more teaching stories of love from lost gospels, religions of secular and tribal teachings. World Life Ministry of Faith brings forward these writings and teachings of long ago and celebrates the good in all of them and applies them to our modern way of life.
World Life Ministry of Faith does not require any outwardly display in dress for men, women or children, but, traditional clothing representing your personal religious beliefs is encouraged. The emblem for World Life Ministry of Faith will be designed in various forms including jewelry. Other members of the World Life Ministry of Faith will recognize it immediately and silently show their respect with a greeting of peace and love.
World Life Ministry of Faith does not and will not endorse any political movement or political candidate or anything or anyone through the ministry or for any monetary donation. Voting in the Democratic process is encouraged and a personal choice of the individual and World Life Ministry of Faith will not endorse or contribute to any candidate or political agenda voter. It is hoped that followers of World Life Ministry of Faith will take time to educate themselves for political candidates before going to the polls and vote for what is good, fair and equal for all people, not just some. . .
We must not have, nor show any prejudices toward any other person because their religion does not following the love of God as we do. Just be happy that they come to us from a religion that does have a loving God. When the opportunity arises, greet them with the same respect you would want to be greeted and you would greet another member of World Life Ministry of Faith and should they ask why you do this when they would not show the same respect, tell them that you are without discrimination and hate because you are of the World Life Ministry of Faith and believe in God, the One True Creator or in the natural order of designed life.

So should parents snuggling up for one last story before lights out be even a little concerned about the advantage they might be conferring?Why raise claims of unfairness against families? Maybe that's an evolutionary stable strategy that has emerged over hundreds or thousands of years to develop more effective offspring.
'I don't think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people's children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,' quips [British philosopher Adam] Swift.
In the end Swift agrees that all activities will cause some sort of imbalance—from joining faith communities to playing Saturday cricket—and it's for this reason that a theory of familial goods needs to be established if the family is to be defended against cries of unfairness.
'We should accept that lots of stuff that goes on in healthy families—and that our theory defends—will confer unfair advantage,' he says.
Professor Swift collaborated with Crooked Timber's and the University of Wisconsin's Harry Brighouse, who responded to some of the perceptions of the Australian Broadcasting interview, and also got about as close as a cutting-edge academician can get to acknowledging evolutionary advantage without looking like an apologist for privilege.
We wrote a book, providing an elaborate philosophical defense of the family. Not, maybe, exactly, the traditional family – we are clear that same sex parents, adoptive parents, and single parents count as families—but something quite like it (indeed, one left wing blogger who had linked to one of the ultra-right websites ridiculing us criticized our views, in an email, as "highly moralized in a way typical of bourgeois moral philosophy"). One passage in the book – which I initially drafted, and with which we are both pretty pleased – explains in considerable detail why reading bedtime stories to your children is so valuable that it is something nobody should be prevented from doing, and should be (cautiously) encouraged to do –and, in fact, we argue that parents have a duty to their children to do intimate things like reading bedtime stories to their children. One commenter, indeed, said it was the most eloquent account of what was so good about bedtime story reading that he/she had ever read.We will know that higher education has become serious about acknowledging differing points of view when "bourgeois" no longer automatically takes on a negative connotation in scholarly exchange. And I've come across a new metaphor, "serve and return," describing the positive neurological effects of parents interacting with children, even before the children understand words, let alone can speak them or read them. That's an evolutionary advantage in the Darwinian sense, and I await the academic conversation to that point.

A recent New York Times article made me think about Samuel Johnson and George Orwell. And Dante.
In Johnson's Rasselas, the prince lives in a utopian valley. In Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston lives in a terrifying futuristic London.
Dante presents both extremes: the Inferno is the ultimate nightmare, Paradiso the perfect dream.
In general, fictional dystopias are more entertaining than flawless worlds. Rasselas is interesting only when the prince leaves his Happy Valley. Nineteen Eighty-Four remains riveting throughout.
In the circles of Hell, villains are encased in ice, gnawed on by Satan, and buried in human excrement. Cool! The virtuous characters in Paradise don't provide the same reader gratification.
That brings me, in a roundabout way, to last week's Times article. The article points out that most qualified low-income students don't even think about applying to elite colleges. Moreover, "the colleges that most low-income students attend have fewer resources and lower graduation rates than selective colleges, and many students who attend a local college do not graduate."
These statements aren't surprising. Those of us in public higher education are intimately aware of our students' situations. After all, we educate the vast majority of university students in this country. And, as universities' mandatory expenses escalate and state funding diminishes, tuition rises and our students take on more debt. Unsurprisingly, they're continually tempted to drop out--or they never even apply to college.
I didn't become a university president just through hard work. My private high school prepared me well for college; my parents valued education and could afford Ivy League tuition.
At the same time, I grew up right in Washington, D.C., a city with some of the most under-performing schools in the country. And, when I was growing up, there weren't any public universities in the District. For thousands of kids my age living in D.C., attending a university wasn't an option.
In the 1960's and 1970's, opportunities expanded significantly. Huge efforts were made to expand higher education. Community colleges proliferated. Teachers' colleges and branch campuses became full universities. New campuses were built. Admission policies changed. Financial aid packages changed. States (and even Washington, D.C.) invested in higher education. Public school kids learned that college was within their reach.
The U.S., in fact, began to realize a utopian vision of higher education.
Public universities lay at the heart of that vision. One can argue that the tremendous financial success of the late 20th century was due in large part to public universities providing affordable education to Americans and to thousands of students from all over the world.
But now that vision is crumbling. High costs, decreased state support, and lack of will at state and federal levels are taking us back in time. Sequestration, we learned last week, would eliminate tuition support for university students serving in the Army and Marines. Federal work study and support programs for low-income students are imperiled. Small state universities struggle for survival.
What will an American dystopia look like if current trends continue? Imagine college-going rates dropping to those of the 1940's. Imagine residential universities becoming options only for the top two percent. Imagine talented American students turning to more affordable universities in Asia and Europe. Imagine U.S. companies relying on Americans for low-wage jobs while they import educated professionals from overseas.
Fictional dystopias are more interesting than perfect worlds. However, in real life, most of us would choose to live in Johnson's happy but slightly boring valley over Orwell's dystopian London.
In the real world, we should be working toward a society that is much more like Paradise and not at all like Hell.

We are a group of independent business people, creatives and companies who each in their own way was touched by the crisis and were called to action. Whether it was in the national debate in holland about the effect of the crisis locally, or the immediate response to the arrival of refugees at Amsterdam Central station, or because of experience first hand by visiting Lesvos, all of us were called to do more and give more.
Through social media we were able to connect with those on the ground and build a relationship with the groups working to ensure safe passage on Lesvos. Our personal networks were ignited and we saw that where there was a direct need, we could often supply a direct response. This simple act of giving inspired us to think bigger. We went to Lesvos and will continue to have a presence on the ground through the winter.
In november we were, as a collective, able to donate much needed items to help winter proof some of the transit camps on the island. We donated lights, heaters, tents, crowd management assets as well as items to support the medical and search and rescue teams on the coast. The jewel in the crown for the winter proofing of lesbos is the donation of an industrial grade food truck able to provide hot meals to thousands of cold and tired people.
With these successes in mind, we now aim to maintain this momentum through a fixed presence on the island to gather information combined with a platform for donations of goods from around the world. We aim to maintain the food truck through out the winter, aid in the support of micro charities at every level of the passage and to inform a greater audience about the efforts by people like us on the island.

I cannot say this movie is a disappointment because I read some reviews before watching and it did not do as well as I thought it would have. The bar was not set that high, so the fact that my expectations were met is not saying much.The Good: The city of New York.

The Learning and Development team at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, were thrilled to hear that had received Gold rating in their recent Work Experience Quality Standard accreditation.
The Standard is a national accreditation which provides external quality assurance to ensure organisations are providing high quality work experience and employability programmes covering areas such as: work shadowing, work experience, apprenticeships, volunteering and Project Search.
Recent work experience placement Luke Barlow said: "I hoped to gain an awareness of what working in the NHS was really like. I wanted a realistic outlook on the pressures and responsibilities that I would have to handle every day if I were lucky enough to become a doctor. During my two days I observed a variety of clinics, scans and treatment techniques. I think the over-riding impression from my time was the friendliness and support the staff have towards one another and to the patients."
Claire Dhaffir, Widening Participation Officer/Work Experience Coordinator, said: "Getting Gold standard signals to prospective candidates that we are offering good quality work experience. The nationally accredited frameworks ensure that we are delivering comprehensive programmes that help us to develop a structured talent pipeline for the organisation. This helps us to stand out as an organisation dedicated to offering fair, supportive and high quality training."

Father Neuhaus used to refer, sarcastically, to the NYT as "our parish newsletter." Here's the lede from today's column by Frank Bruni, the housebroken Catholic on the Times op-ed page:
"I have nothing against priests," writes Garry Wills in his provocative new book, "Why Priests? A Failed Tradition," and I'd like at the outset to say the same. During a career that has included no small number of formal interviews and informal conversations with them, I've met many I admire, men of genuine compassion and remarkable altruism, more dedicated to humanity than to any dogma or selective tradition.
Why, some of his best friends are priests, I bet.
A Catholic friend e-mails this link with the subject line, "I have nothing against rabbis." Heh.
By the way, do please read today's dynamite column about abortion, feminism, and culture by the NYT's un-housebroken Catholic, Ross Douthat, who actually believes what the Church teaches and brings it to his analysis in a way that suggests he will win the Pulitzer Prize someday, though, alas, he will not be invited to the great parties his coreligionist colleague will be.

Venture capitalist says rich Americans should get more votes
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca. (CNN) – Tom Perkins suggested Thursday that only taxpayers should have the right to vote — and that wealthy Americans who pay more in taxes should get more votes.
The venture capitalist offered the unorthodox proposal when asked to name one idea that would "change the world" at a speaking engagement in San Francisco moderated by Fortune's Adam Lashinsky.
"The Tom Perkins system is: You don't get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes," Perkins said.
"But what I really think is, it should be like a corporation. You pay a million dollars in taxes, you get a million votes. How's that?"
The audience at the Commonwealth Club reacted with laughter. But Perkins offered no immediate indication that he was joking. Asked offstage if the proposal was serious, Perkins said: "I intended to be outrageous, and it was."
Perkins seemed to be aware that he was courting controversy, saying that his voting proposal would "make you more angry than my letter to the Wall Street Journal."
That letter, published last month, compared the supposed assault on the wealthy to a wave of Nazi attacks on Jews ahead of the Holocaust.
The letter sparked a public firestorm, and the venture capital firm he co-founded — Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers — distanced itself from his comments. Perkins has since allowed that the comparison went too far, but has not apologized for the overall message and his warning about anti-rich "radicalism."
The Perkins plan for determining who should be allowed to vote is likely to give his critics further ammunition.
For his part, Perkins shows no signs of backing down from his argument that the rich in America are under attack. Perkins said Thursday that the trend has grown since the election of President Obama — who he described as an "amateur."
Related story: Investor apologizes for Nazi comparison, stands by message
Pressed for examples of how the rich were being demonized, Perkins said that he feared higher taxes.
"The fear is wealth tax, higher taxes, higher death taxes — just more taxes until there is no more 1%. And that that will creep down to the 5% and then the 10%," he said.

The Sports Xchange
Notre Dame 65, Villanova 60
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Freshman Cam Biedscheid led a balanced attack with a career-high 18 points as Notre Dame held off Villanova for a 65-60 Big East victory Wednesday at Purcell Pavilion.
The Sports Xchange
Notre Dame 65, Villanova 60
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Freshman Cam Biedscheid led a balanced attack with a career-high 18 points as Notre Dame held off Villanova for a 65-60 Big East victory Wednesday at Purcell Pavilion.
Villanova cut a late eight-point deficit to 61-58 with 24 seconds to play on Darrun Hilliard's 3-pointer, and the Wildcats regained possession four seconds later on an Irish turnover.
However, another Hilliard 3-point attempt bounced off the rim, and Notre Dame's Jack Cooley was fouled on the rebound with 13.3 seconds remaining. He hit both shots to restore a five-point lead.
Biedscheid hit four 3-pointers in a 12-minute span and had five for the game on seven attempts. Cooley had 17 points and 16 rebounds for Notre Dame (17-4, 5-3 Big East).
Jerian Grant had 12 points while Tom Knight added 10 for the Irish, who have won three of their last four.
Mouphtaou Yarou led Villanova (13-8, 4-4) with a game-high 20 points. Hilliard scored 14 points, and JayVaughn Pinkston added 11.
The first few minutes had all the makings of a Notre Dame blowout.
The Irish sprinted to an 11-5 lead in the opening 4:38 but couldn't maintain that pace as five Wildcat players scored over the next 5:37 as Villanova took a 16-15 lead.
Following two more lead changes and three ties, Villanova took the first-half lead for good at 25-24 at the 4:13 mark on two Yarou free throws. The Wildcats never relinquished the edge on the way to a 31-29 halftime advantage.
Cooley had a game-high 12 first half points while Yarou topped Villanova with nine.
Biedscheid had the hot hand with four 3 pointers in a 12-minute span. Fouled on a baseline 3-point try, he hit three consecutive free throws and followed with a 3-point field goal as Notre Dame reclaimed the lead, 35-33, early in the second period.
Biedscheid hit another baseline 3 four minutes later, this time pushing the Irish back ahead at 41-39. He got his third of the half with 9:43 to play for a 47-43 lead. His fourth 3-pointer came with 8:02 showing for a 50-46 Irish edge.
Thirty-one seconds later, Grant picked up a loose ball and collected a layup for Notre Dame's biggest lead since the early minutes at 52-46.
Notre Dame extended its lead to eight points at 59-51 with 3:40 to play on Grant's 3-pointer.

Uplift Capacity of Shallow Offshore Foundationsby V. Rapoport, McClelland Engineers Inc, Houston, TX, USA,
A. G. Young, McClelland Engineers Inc, Houston, TX, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Uplift Behavior of Anchor Foundations in Soil
Soil failure under upward loading is investigated by experimental laboratory tests. The problem of uplift capacity is considered in terms of effective stresses in soil skeleton and pore pressures. The mechanism of breakout is considered for different types of soil. Based on this approach and experiments, a procedure is developed for estimating uplift capacity. The general validity of the procedure is illustrated by analyzing case histories including full-scale tests in clay and suction anchor tests in sand. The procedure allows one to determine the influence of various factors on foundation uplift capacity such as time and type of loading; soil properties; object size, weight, etc. A brief review of literature on the subject is presented.
Subject Headings: Soil analysis | Soil tests | Offshore structures | Effective stress | Soil stress | Soil pressure | Soil suction | Load bearing capacity

Ledley 'a rock' - Younes
02 May 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Younes Kaboul can't wait to pay tribute to the man he describes as 'a rock'.
The French centre-half will line-up as part of the first team squad for Ledley King's Testimonial against Ledley's Guest XI at the Lane on Monday week, May 12.
Younes played alongside Ledley in two spells at the club – in 2007-08 before his switch to Portsmouth and from his return in 2010, until Ledley retired in 2012.
"When I came to Spurs seven years ago and met him I was delighted to work with him," said Younes. "Now he's having his Testimonial and we're all looking forward to it, thanking him for everything he's done for the club.
"Ledley was simply a rock. The fact is beyond being a very good footballer, what a man he is as well, very simple, very quiet, just a nice guy.
"When he was playing, it was like he was only at 40 per cent of his capacity because it was so easy for him. He was so calm. I really enjoyed playing with him."
Younes can relate in some way to what Ledley had to go with as he battled against a chronic knee injury later in his career.
The French international has also had his injury troubles in the last 18 months, but has now started nine of our last 10 matches.
"I've been through it, like Ledley," he added. "For him to retire at such a young age must have been gutting for him, he wanted to do more, for sure, but when your body tells you to stop, you have to respect that."
For more fantastic preview coverage of Ledley's Testimonial - including Younes' interview in full on video - go to our dedicated Testimonial microsite - King of the Lane...

As ladies we all cherish looking our best, no matter the time, place or occasion. Pedicure is one area we all consider vital. However, with all that we have to accomplish in a day, be it domestic chores or office work, we have limited time to move around looking for the perfect beauticians to work on our looks. Maybe you face similar predicament; too much to do and yet still look glamorous. Ever thought of having the beautician pay you a visit at home? There are numerous beauticians who offer mobile beauty services but the question that baffles most ladies is whether it is really worth the time and effort. Well, there are a number of compelling reasons why a pedicure service at home might actually be the best option for you!
Consider the following benefits:
Saves time
By having the pedicure expert come to you rather than you going to his or her beauty salon, you save valuable time. Remember, you would have spent time preparing for the visit. Dressing up for the out-of-home activity would take your valuable time. This is the time you can otherwise spend accomplishing other tasks at home.
Cost saving
When you critically think about it you appreciate that you actually incur transport costs. If you visit the beauty parkour for your pedicure needs you are most likely going to incur transport costs. These translate into hidden costs for your cherished manicure. Why escalate the costs when the beautician can still come to your home at the same costs?
Quality service
Why not pay for what satisfies you? Once you visit the beautician for your pedicure, you are at her mercy in terms of the time and quality of service provided. The reason is simple. You are not the only customer visiting the pedicure specialist so the specialist cannot spend inordinate amount of time just working on your nails; other customers are waiting and you can't help it. But if the beautician makes a home visit, there are no additional customers to worry about, at least not at your home. You can thus provide the beautician with all the fine details of how you want your nails done. In case the process goes amiss you have the upper-hand in managing the beautician's time to ensure that you get what you exactly wanted.
Personal connection
With your pedicure done at your home in Cambridge, you get the opportunity to strike some measure of personal rapport with the pedicure specialist. It is no longer just a formal and impersonal relationship; the home visit introduces a personal dimension to the service. As a personal acquaintance who has even visited you at home, the beautician will most likely feel obliged to offer the best.
To reap maximum benefits from your pedicure sessions, just invite your beautician to your home. Call Today Instabeauty on 01223750331
