Last week Hannah was on spring break, so we decided to take a road trip. Normally when we go on road trips it's always to SoCal to see my in-laws. Unfortunately my FIL has been not feeling great so we decided to go somewhere new this trip.
We live in Phoenix, for those who don't really know much about the southwest, we are not too far from a lot of different places. We are about 6 hours to San Diego. We are about 3-4 hours from Rocky Point, Mexico. We are about 4 hours from Las Vegas. So when we considered where we wanted to go, we decided we wanted to be able to drive and that we wanted it to take less than 5 hours to get there. After thinking about it for a bit, we decided on Vegas. I'm the only one who had ever been there before and that was only on business. Not even for fun! Plus, I have a cousin and some friends who live there.
So Thursday morning we loaded up Roxy and headed northwest to Vegas. It was a gorgeous drive through Arizona and into Nevada. We stopped at the Hoover Dam for a bit and that was really amazing. The sheer scale of it just blows my mind. We didn't do any tours, but we want to on the next trip to Vegas.
Once we left Hoover Dam it's not very far to Vegas (like maybe a half hour if I remember right).
It was fun to see Hannah's reaction to seeing all the hotels in the distance and telling her that is where we are going. Girlfrand loves her some skyscrapers so being on the strip and seeing all the gorgeous buildings; she was in heaven!
We were staying at Circus Circus, so we made it to the hotel and got all checked in...which was a process. The last time I was in Vegas for work was 1o years ago and I stayed off the strip at The Orleans. I am positive that the check-in process was a lot different there than it was at Circus Circus. At CC it was a madhouse!! We walked into the lobby and I swear I thought I had walked into the busiest airport I've ever seen. People and luggage and more people and even more luggage just every.where. Insanity. The line to check-in was 3 rows deep. Luckily it moved pretty fast, but it was still an hour between walking in and getting to our room.
Let me just tell you, if you have never stayed at Circus Circus, the skyrise tower (where we stayed) has a parking garage so that you don't have to traipse through the entire mall with your luggage but they don't tell you this at the check-in. No, we walked from literally the opposite end of the hotel through the casino, up to the 2nd floor where they have all the shops and restaurants and slots to another bank of elevators to get to the 21st floor where our room was with all of our bags. OMG. For this mama who has anxiety on the best of days, that was so.not.fun.
Once in our room though, I could relax. We had a view of The Stratosphere and that is when we saw the parking garage that we should have used. lol. Oh well. The room was clean and didn't smell like smoke at all. All in all, it was a nice room. After we got cleaned up and rested for a little while, we went to find some dinner. Any of you who are parents know that you don't always get to go where you want and sometimes you just have to go with McD's. So that's what we did. After that we drove down the strip and got lost. Yep. We eventually found our way to the Fremont Street Experience and discovered that Fremont is much more our speed. While it was still crowded and loud, it wasn't NEARLY as crowded and loud as the strip.
We parked and walked along Fremont taking in all the casino lights, the live bands, the showgirls taking pictures with tourists and the little shops. We happened to be there at the top of the hour when all the lights on the casino's go out and they play a video montage on the overhead canopy. They did a Queen show while we were and that was totally awesome! Everyone stopped and quieted down as it first started and then everyone in the crowd was singing and dancing and taking video of the whole experience.
Shortly after that we headed back to our hotel and it was time for bed. By the time we actually made it back to our room it was close to 11 so we were all completely ready to sleep. And sleep we did.

Rick Jeffares wants to keep our government focused on its core mission and ensure that Georgia remains the best state in the country in which to live and work.
As Lieutenant Governor, Rick will take the approach he has always taken to make our government work. He will focus on the following priorities:
Fight for Conservative Values – Georgia is a conservative state. We love our neighbors and respect different points of view but we are in the whole, conservative. To Rick, that means we want the freedom to live our lives as we see fit with minimum government interference. The freedom to worship as we choose. The freedom to exercise our constitutional rights to express ourselves, protect ourselves and to pursue happiness in our own way without limiting our neighbors' rights to do the same.
Rick will:
- Fight to protect and expand second amendment rights
- Protect the rights of the unborn
- Stand by his vote for religious liberty
Repeal Old Laws – As Lt. Governor, Rick will pass legislation requiring the elimination of 2 regulations for every new regulation passed. This will reduce paperwork and compliance costs for businesses that have to navigate often arcane and obsolete regulations and reduce the casual creation of new red tape for Georgia citizens.
Reduce Tuition Costs – The HOPE scholarship is great but it has discouraged fiscal responsibility in our higher education system. With HOPE picking up the tab, fewer parents have a stake in tuition costs. A lot of kids get HOPE, some don't. Some others lose it when they can't keep their grades up. A B- average should not mean bankruptcy for that student's parents. Lottery money should not mean a lack of fiscal discipline in our university system.
Rick will:
- Lock in tuition costs for each student over a four-year time period. Tuition for incoming freshmen will be locked in as their per-credit cost for four years.
- Cut the cost of online classes, which currently cost the same as classes in brick and mortar classrooms with faculty.
- Ensure that core curriculum credits are transferrable between Georgia colleges and universities so students who complete 100 and 200 level classes don't have to repeat the same classes if they transfer to a another college or university.
Boost Technical Education – 70% of Georgia's kids do not finish college [2014 #'s]. A college education is a wonderful thing — Rick has a Bachelor's degree in management — but it can come with enormous debt and many Georgians choose to pursue careers best served by our technical college system. There are many rewarding, high-paying jobs in our state sitting empty because of a lack of qualified technical college-trained applicants.
Businesses are looking for individuals with a technical education and make decisions on expansion and relocation based on where they can find or train a qualified workforce. We can grow our economy and create untold numbers of jobs by expanding and improving technical education in Georgia.
Rick will:
- Expand career academies throughout the state
- Increase funding for technical colleges
- Partner with industries to develop future workforce-ready employees
- Partner with local communities to ensure industries have the desired workforce
Rural Economic Development – Rural Georgia has different needs and priorities than Atlanta. Both are important: Atlanta is the state's economic driver, home to 15 Fortune 500 companies and 26 in the Fortune 1000, and the world's busiest airport. Rural Georgia is a different kind of economic engine and we must not forget that agriculture and agribusiness are the largest sector of Georgia's economy. Savannah, Macon and other population centers have different needs from port infrastructure in Savannah to manufacturing and logistics in Macon.
Rick will:
- Champion the continuation of port improvement projects:
- The Savannah Harbor Expansion Project
- Find advances in freight rail structure and implement:
- Identify potential freight improvement projects
- Development of "inland ports"
- Development of new intermodal rail yards
- Rural infrastructure improvements:
- Broadband Internet Services expansion
- Healthcare availability and trauma centers
Transportation – Our transportation infrastructure is our Achilles heel. Different communities need different solutions and we need to be open to all of them. The Atlanta region needs more and better roads. Savannah needs highways and other infrastructure to support its port. Rural communities have a variety of local needs to maintain or replace often long-outdated systems in order to safeguard communities and industries.
Rick will:
- Pass last year's Senate Bill that would create a Georgia Regional Transit Council. This council will create a statewide plan for a "seamless transportation network with dependable trip times for commuters." Included in the plan will be limited access highways, road congestion relief, safety enhancements and plans for future transportation innovations.

This guide will help you understand what rewards this card has to offer, what interest rates you need to pay, and how to get the most out of this card. There is also a section dedicated to making buddhism2.rus for existing cardholders.
Blue Nile buddhism2.ru
The Blue Nile Credit Card is issued by Comenity Bank. Comenity is a popular retail credit card issuer and they provide the Online Account Center service which you can use to manage your details, see your statements and make bill payments. To make your Blue Nile buddhism2.ru online click the "Pay Online" button below to login or register.
Blue Nile is an online jewelry and diamond retailer and so there are no options for paying in store. The Blue Nile buddhism2.ru address can be found by logging into the online service or by checking your paper statement. Further help and phone payment information is available by calling . A full customer service and contact information page can be found here, which also includes useful help questions and answers.
Blue Nile Credit Card
The main benefit to owning a Blue Nile Credit Card are the flexible financing options available. These financing options can be used to spread out a large purchase, and depending on the size of the purchase you can either secure 0% APR or a low APR. There are other cardholder incentives such as payment convenience and special cardholder promotions, offers and other savings opportunities.
For purchases between $500 and $1,499.99, there is 0% APR for 6 months, and for purchases over $1,500 there is 0% APR over 12 months. The total balance must be paid in full by the end of the allotted period otherwise interest will be charged to the entire balance from the purchase date.
There are also 24 month, 36 month and 48 month 'equal payment' options (each monthly payment will be the same for the purchase) at a rate of 9.99% APR. This financing generally comes with cheaper monthly payments than the 0% financing option.
Blue Nile Credit Card Interest and Terms
The standard rate of interest is 26.99%, and this rate applies if you do not pay your financed purchase off in full by the given date or do not keep in good standing with your repayments. This could mean hundreds of extra dollars to pay, so make sure you keep on top of this credit card's financing offers. There is no annual fee, and late payment and returned payment charges are a maximum of $35. For financing the minimum monthly payment will be $25. For non-promotional purchases, you can avoid paying interest by paying your balance off in full during the 25 day grace period.

Innocence: Or, Murder on Steep Street by Heda Margolius Kovály, translated by Alex Zucker. Soho Crime, 2015. 9781616954963.
Helena, the only first person narrator, has managed to land a job as an usher at a movie theater in Communist era Prague after her husband was arrested for espionage. The other characters' interactions away from Helena are narrated in the third person, as if the author didn't want to get too close to these often disagreeable people. One married woman is tired of her philandering spouse, and offers to offload him onto the party girl he's sleeping with. Another usher's genteel poverty is an act. A police informant is goaded into becoming a provocateur, and very nearly a procurer of sexual favors. Possibly the creepiest of all the characters is the silver-haired State Security operative who's fixated on cracking Helena's husband, and who also wants to incriminate Helena. Meanwhile, an actual spy ring is using the theater to pass microfilm between couriers. All of these folks would probably not wish to draw any attention to themselves, but murders nearby prompt police investigations.
Most mysteries have one big reveal during their climax. Innocence: Or, Murder on Steep Street starts with a murder committed and solved in the first chapter. After that, revelations continue over the course of the book as Helena, her coworkers, cops, creeps, and spies interact. With two and a half murders, a suicide, and a malefactor too powerful to be brought to justice, this is closer to a tragedy than it is to mystery or thriller. It is also a tribute to how confusingly complex a good book can be when written by someone who'd lived through confusingly complex decades.
This book is also, in many ways, an artifact of the early Cold War. The author's son Ivan Margolius' introduction gives useful background, including apologetic paragraphs explaining what motivated his father to join Czechoslovakia's Communist Party after World War II, his family's disgrace, and his father's execution in the wake of the 1952 Slansky Trials. (Kovály emigrated to the United States in 1968, in the wake of the Prague Spring.)
Thanks to Robert in San Diego for this guest book review!

LLS staff move next week
Deniliquin staff of Murray Local Land Services will be consolidated at a single site starting next week.
From Tuesday, October 17, it will operate from 449 Charlotte St, Deniliquin.
The move will bring together staff from the existing offices in Victoria St and Hay Rd.
It is the final step in the amalgamation of the former Murray Catchment Management Authority, Riverina Livestock Health and Pest Authority and extension services of the NSW Department of Primary Industries.
The merger was implemented on January 1, 2014, and staff have been working from separate offices since then.
Murray Local Land Services general manager Gary Rodda said the consolidation of Deniliquin staff was a positive step for the organisation.
''This move will enable us to deliver better, more integrated services to customers, and allow for a much more cohesive work environment for staff,'' he said.
''It's very much a win-win for us, and we're looking forward to serving the community of Deniliquin and surrounds from this location for a long time to come.''
The relocation will occur this weekend.
MLLS will be closed for business on Monday, October 16 to allow staff to set up work areas and settle into the new office.
With the new premises will come a new telephone number, with Deniliquin staff able to be contacted on (03) 5881 9900.

django-mingus forked #sitesprint
I've decided to start the reimplementation of this site using django-mingus as a base, so I went ahead and forked it. It was very easy to get up and running locally following the instructions provided. The first thing I am going to do is rework the templates to my liking. I am not a big fan of CSS grid frameworks, instead I take the sometimes less DRY semantic markup approach and refactor later to DRY up a little. I guess I am a masochist with CSS, but I don't like seeing my markup polluted with junk CSS classes like grid_*, pull_*, etc_*.
While I rework the templates and CSS (based on the minimal theme), I will try to get familiar with all the functionality I get for free with mingus. Then I will decide what I want to keep and what I need to add.
I am already torn about using disqus for comments, currently leaning heavily against it as it is integrated via javascript. I think comments should definitely be indexed for search, so that justifies hosting the comments myself (using an existing comments app such as django-threadedcomments) and dealing with spam. Another interesting option is implementing disqus using the server to server API. This way I wouldn't have to worry about spam at all (assuming disqus is good) and I would just have to cache the comments to avoid API calls on every request.

SMOREs (the calorie free kind) are easy to use and I have often used them in place of a parent newsletter. It does take time to put these together but it certainly saves on paper and you can post a link to Facebook and Twitter. At the beginning of the year request parent emails and then you can send them the direct link to your SMORE. I believe this application would be one to consider teaching to students so they can create informational posters complete with hyperlinks to various online resources. This option will bring the poster alive!

Detailed information on the HIV epidemic: Present situation and trends
Facts and figures
According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), some 36.9 million people, including 2.6 million children below the age of 15, were infected with the HI virus around the world in 2014.
Some 2 million people (including 220,000 children) were newly infected with the HI virus in 2014 (compared to 3.1 million in 2000).
Around 1.2 million people died of AIDS in 2014, that is 42 per cent fewer than in 2004.
These figures show that successes have been scored when it comes to containing AIDS. However, they also show that the HIV epidemic still represents one of humanity's biggest disasters and that the threat of the HI virus spreading further has not yet been averted.
The drop in annual new infections and AIDS-related deaths is due to several factors: successful prevention measures, improving the supply of medications that restrict viral replication (antiretroviral medicines), and increased care and support for those living with HIV. Nevertheless, there are still about 5,500 new infections every day; some 3,300 people die of AIDS each day.
Regional differences
The situation in sub-Saharan Africa is particularly serious. In 2014, some 25.8 million people were HIV-positive in that region. More than 85 per cent of those children who became infected with HIV in 2014 live in sub-Saharan Africa. In many countries in Africa, more than five per cent of those aged between 15 and 49 are HIV-positive; in three sub-Saharan African countries that figure is more than 20 per cent. Even in those countries in African where the rate of infection is below five per cent, HIV still poses a huge challenge.
Contrary to the general trend, the number of new infections is continuing to rise in some countries in Asia and Eastern Europe. The number of infections has, however, changed relatively little in industrialised countries in recent years.
High-risk population groups
During the early stages of the AIDS epidemic, the disease was chiefly regarded as one that affected homosexual men. Today, a little over half of all HIV-positive people around the world are female – in sub-Saharan Africa approximately 57 per cent of those infected with HIV are women. Young women are at particularly high risk of being infected. In the 15 to 24 age group, more than double the number of women are HIV-positive than men.
The gender roles that are firmly entrenched in society also have an important role to play in regard to boys' and men's HIV risk – because they are linked to high-risk behaviours such as alcohol consumption or multiple sexual partners. Sexual minorities such as homosexual men are often forced onto the fringes of society or are criminalised.
German development cooperation therefore places special emphasis on changing gender roles in the context of its HIV and AIDS programmes.
Since it is especially young people between the ages of 15 and 24 who become infected with HIV, they are the most important target group for HIV prevention measures. They are to learn through education and awareness-raising how to lead sex lives that are self-determined, partnership-based, safe and free of violence.
In many countries, HIV-positive children still have poor chances of survival. The prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is thus another important task. It is also highly effective: Where pregnant women are systematically treated, the risk of mother-to-child transmission can be lowered to as low as two per cent. However, HIV-positive children still lack access to appropriate medicines. Their situation has not improved as significantly as that of adults in recent years.
Impact of HIV and AIDS
In the period after 1990 average life expectancy in some African countries regressed to a level last recorded in the 1960s on account of the HIV epidemic. Because HIV and AIDS hit the young and middle-aged generations hardest, these sectors of the population are getting smaller in the worst affected countries. The 20 to 40 age group is therefore no longer available to the economy. That causes serious economic and development problems and can, in the long term, lead to increased poverty.
In countries and regions in which a significant proportion of the labour force falls victim to the disease, gross domestic product (GDP) can drop sharply. In a country like Botswana, in which nearly a quarter of all adults are HIV-positive, many families will in the foreseeable future be without a breadwinner.
HIV is thus one of the greatest poverty risks for entire societies in our time. In many countries it hampers development progress or even reverses it.

A Day Trip to Greenville, SCMonday, February 22, 2016
Mark and I spent this past Friday night racking our minds for something fun to do over the weekend. When they're calling for spring-like weather in February you've got to take advantage of it and not waste it on a weekend of house cleaning and laundry. We thought about going on a hike somewhere, but as we were checking out different mountains on the map we realized that Greenville, South Carolina was only an hour and a half away - perfect daytripping distance! I had heard great things about this little city so we decided to make a day of it.
It felt like the day was fighting between spring and winter. The temps were warm, but the sky was gray and spitting rain at us. I grabbed my big coat right as we were walking out the door that morning and was very happy to have it once we got to Greenville. The gray skies didn't stop us, though, and we ended up walking around town for a good three hours or so. We spent the majority of our time at Falls Park on the Reedy, a beautiful park right in the center of downtown complete with river and waterfalls. I would love to see this spot in the spring or summer. I'm sure it is stunning!
I wasn't above snapping a gratuitous amount of foot selfies. I'm a huge fan of these Lucky Brand ankle boots and have been wearing them everywhere lately. They go with just about anything and have held up well on some long impromptu walks.
Some other favorite sites were Joe's Place, a local bookstore where we rested our tired feet for a little while; Mast General Store, an old-timey store complete with candy aisles, local knick knacks, and plenty of camping & fishing supplies; and the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a greenway that follows the bed of a former railroad throughout the city.
All total, we spent close to four hours in the city and managed to see most of the downtown area in that time (plus take a long walk on the greenway). I'm sure there are a lot of local favorites that we missed, but we had a fun time for planning the trip on a whim. Have you ever been to Greenville? What are some of your favorite sites/restaurants/shops in the area? I'd love to know for any repeat trips!

I love Falls Park! Mark and I stopped there on the way down to Amber's wedding last April. We hope to move there someday-- it may be a few years in the future, but that's my ultimate, long-term goal!ReplyDeleteReplies
That would be awesome, Abi!Delete
love those booties! i bookmarked them when you had them on your gift guide but haven't gotten them yet :) this post gave me the inspiration to find a new city to take a day trip to!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Kim! The warmer the weather gets, the more I want to get out and go too. I think my days of Netflix and crocheting are numbered. ;)Delete

Director's Duties - Competing interests in distressed situations
We were recently instructed to advise a business in financial difficulty. It was clearly insolvent and under pressure from creditors, however, there appeared to be value in the core business, built up over 50 years of trading.
The incumbent management had belief in the business as well as years of investment of time and money and expressed an immediate interest in acquiring it. Given the nature of the business and working capital requirements, we advised that a marketing exercise be undertaken, with the health warning to management that we were likely to receive some real interest in it. We marketed the business and, unsurprisingly, received good initial interest. However, whilst the business itself was good, the inherent liability attached to a very loyal workforce meant that the TUPE obligations caused most to fall away. However, one party stuck it out and we awaited an offer.
When it eventually came through we were initially a bit confused as the offer was for the Company's shares - the buyer would take the Company on with its inherent (and pressing) liabilities and release the directors / shareholders from office, even relieving them of their personal guarantee obligations. All they had to do was shut the door behind them and walk away. As proposed Administrators, we had no locus to deal with a share sale, but we did let the shareholders know about the offer so that they could consider it. The shareholders included the incumbent management team that were interested in acquiring the business, who between them had 76% of the share capital and could therefore block or agree the proposal.
This immediately gave them a three way headache… did they look at this approach from the perspective of a shareholder, with a cash offer to acquire their (otherwise worthless) shares, as a "competitor" in the bid to acquire the business, or with their director's "hat" on?
Whilst the commercial angles appear to complicate that question, the answer was actually fairly straightforward as far as legislation and Statement of Insolvency Practice No13 ("SIP13") is concerned. Notwithstanding that the management team wanted to buy the business there was an obvious "get out" by having someone take on their PGs and pay them for their shares. However, the offer gave them no comfort as to what might happen to the Company or its creditors post acquisition - it was estimated that the working capital requirement would be in the region of £250k+ just to keep the Company alive, let alone any capital expenditure or even returning it to full solvency - the offeror made no representations about what he would pump in to the Company or how he would deal with the obligations to creditors etc. The proposed sale of business in administration at least had a measurable outcome, against which other options and outcomes could be compared - the share sale contained complete unknowns as far as the buyer's intention were concerned with the Company generally, but specifically (and importantly) to its creditors.
When a company hits the buffers, a director's thoughts and fiduciary duties shift, from their usual duty of acting in the best interests of the and enhancing shareholder value (section 172-174 Companies Act 2006) to being specifically focussed on the interests of creditors. SIP13 is clear in this and sets out a director's obligations in these circumstances, especially where there is an intent for the director(s) to acquire the business from an office holder.
And it was this that enabled the management team to crystallise their thoughts and treat their financial interests as shareholders, guarantors and potential purchasers as secondary to their fiduciary duties as directors.
So, with their minds focussed, the directors sought to bottom out the interest by ascertaining what the buyer's intentions were as far as the creditors were concerned. They reasoned that if the buyer produced a financially backed undertaking to inject a level of funds that would outturn a better outcome for creditors, they recognised their duties meant that they would be duty bound to consider it.
The bidder's response was not what any of us expected… his intention was to acquire the shares and immediately place the company into administration, with a back to back sale to a Newco which he controlled, we assume utilising the services of an alternative insolvency practitioner.
The case highlights the potentially conflicting dynamics directors face in what is already a stressful scenario and the importance of being able to prioritise their fiduciary duties and put any other interests they have to one side. The outcome in this case could have been very different for creditors and the directors had their minds not been so focussed and had they not taken independent advice.

"Giroux (1997) warns that we must use the term critical pedagogy with 'respectful caution', as it encompasses a range of understandings of what constitutes critical pedagogy, and for which there is no generic definition (270). … Critical pedagogy asserts that [page break] learning, like all other social interactions, is a political act with political purposes. … Critical pedagogy thus 'has as its final aim changes in society in the direction of social justice' (McLean 2006, 1)." (p 301-302)
"Privileged demarcations, elites or forms of knowledge are rejected in favour of inclusive and diverse epistemologies and practices. … But what we really should be aiming to do is to escape disciplines and build instead interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary spaces (Giroux 1992)." (p 302)
"I, therefore, suggest that we consider the following quote from Proust (2006, 657) as we explore Giroux's attitudes towards disciplines: 'The only true voyage of discovery … would not be to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another'." (p 302)
"It is from a position of strength – intellectual and organisational – within our disciplines that we can build the vital alliances of interdisciplinarity through which critical pedagogues can pursue the emancipatory purposes of higher education." (p 303)
"The emancipatory role of higher education, linked to the pursuit of greater social justice, is fundamental to critical pedagogy." (p 303)
"I then focus specifically on Henry Giroux, and discuss his opposition to disciplines." (p 304)
["Critical pedagogy – its core and diverse elements"]
"… critical pedagogy takes the existence of such power imbalances as its starting point. It is inherently political, because proponents believe that social interactions are inherently political." (p 304)
"… all learning processes are themselves 'political mechanisms' (96)." (p 304)
"… critical pedagogy forms 'part of a broader project for democratic transformation as well as … providing the skills and knowledge necessary for students to be critical rather than merely good citizens' (Giroux 2001a, 9)." (p 304)
"All education is connected, sometimes in complex ways, to social change and to issues of power (Apple 1998)." (p 304)
["Giroux's opposition to disciplines"]
"The problem within disciplinary structures within higher education is not simply that they are formal spaces of learning, but that they are not democratic spaces." (p 305)
"Not only does Giroux regard disciplines as elitist, but as such they act as conservative forces that deny difference and change – two of the central tenets of critical pedagogy." (p 305)
"… challenging any assumptions that knowledge is produced within universities …" (p 305)
"Critical pedagogy challenges conventional views of the relationship between student and teacher, and argues that disciplines convey an oppressive authority, reminiscent of a master and slave, upon the teacher that reduces the power of teacher and student alike (Kanpol 1999). … Critical pedagogy promotes a broad, but not exclusive, academic role (Giroux and Searls Giroux 2004), and depicts academics as _transformative intellectuals_." (p 305)
"Disciplines stand in the way of the public spaces that are crucial to critical pedagogy (Giroux and Searls Giroux 2004). … For Foucault, disciplines, in all forms, are 'micromechanisms of power whereby individuals are molded to serve the needs of power' (Ransom 1997, 59)." (p 306)
"Giroux's critical pedagogy rests upon a commitment to public spaces for learning, where diverse forms of knowledge can be exchanged and developed; where students and teachers engage critically with those knowledges, and with one another; and through which genuine democratic ideals can be pursued. Disciplines are regarded as antithetical to these aims, because they are considered closed, elitist and to perpetuate conservative forms of relationships and types of knowledge. Thus, critical pedagogy seeks, instead, to escape disciplinary boundaries and build interdisciplinary spaces in which such public and political realms can exist and prosper." (p 306)
["Looking anew at disciplines"]
"… there is an alternative view of disciplines to that outlined above. In this view disciplines are complex, contested and permeable spaces. … dynamic and safe structures that could provide real and robust allies in the fight to protect higher education from narrow, largely economic, interpretations of its role, and instead promote higher education as a democratic space which supports greater social justice." (p 306)
"If critical pedagogy is to challenge narrow commercial and commodified conceptualisations of higher education, it needs to refocus on its commitment to action …" (p 306)
["Disciplines: complex, contested and permeable"]
"… dynamic nature of disciplinarity." (p 307)
"Disciplines are ongoing, evolving communities. Subjects permit only transmissive or bankable knowledge, while disciplines allow for transgressive and creative approaches. Disciplines offer spaces for students and teachers to interact critically." (p 307)
"… it is based on examples of poor practice, rather than anything inherent to the nature of academic disciplines." (p 308)
"… disciplines as communities rather than demarcations." (p 308)
"It is true that some scholars use disciplinary languages that are arcane and inaccessible to all but a very small elite, but, equally, some scholars succeed in engaging with their discipline in ways that transgress the accepted norms that may appear to dominate (Kramnick 2002)." (p 309)
"… Donald (2009) suggests that disciplines can be 'homes' within the larger academic community, providing the epistemological structures through which inquiry (within and beyond disciplines) can be undertaken." (p 309)
["Disciplines and critical pedagogy's inter/transdisciplinarity"]
"_critical interdisciplinarity_ … recognises the importance of the rigour of individual disciplines. … the need to avoid being seen to privilege any form of knowledge over any other, be it different fields or between intellectual knowledge and popular culture …" (p 309)
"… _cultural studies_ from 'the pioneering program of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies'; … This is one of the most compelling reasons, I argue, that Giroux's critical pedagogy should look again at disciplines, as it is the very interdisciplinary spaces which he so advocates which are the most vulnerable in the context of commercialisation and the commodification of knowledge." (p 310)
["Looking anew: the effect on critical pedagogy"]
"… McLaren goes further to argue that postmodern critical pedagogy has unwittingly proven to be an ally of neoliberalism, because the language of postmodernism can be so easily co-opted by neo-liberals (Biesta 1998). … those who see the purposes of higher education in commercial terms like to use terms such as subjects rather than disciplines, as they are more easily broken down to be endlessly packaged into neat, saleable learning modules (Parker 2002)." (p 311)
"… _critical postmodernism_ …" (p 311)
"… Johnston summarises his position by stating: 'One cannot have the modernist cake of social progress and eat it with a postmodern fork' (1999, 562)." (p 311)
"Critical pedagogy may have become too caught up in the theoretical reasons for opposing academic disciplines, and missed the opportunities for alliance in the face of the common enemy of commercialisation of higher education." (p 311)
"… the big tent of critical [page break] pedagogy (e.g. McLean 2006; Parker 2002; Rowland 2006) …" (p 311-312)
"Critical pedagogy requires that knowledge is complex and rigorous. Concomitantly, it must be contestable, for without this there can be no _critical_ inquiry." (p 312)
"If critical pedagogy is to defend, and more importantly act upon, its commitment to the relationship between higher education and social justice, it needs to accept that disciplinary knowledge is: intrinsically contested and subject to change; complex and able to foster a myriad of links into interdisciplinary hedgerows; and rigorous, thus helping to ensure the authenticity of student and teacher experiences." (p 312)
"Attempts to define higher education in purely economic or commercial terms raise questions about the very nature of the academic role and academic identity, and threaten both the possibilities of critical pedagogy and disciplinary roles." (p 312)
"The audit culture now has a tight grip around the arteries of higher education, commercialisation continues to grow, knowledge as a public good in itself, rather than a commodity for sale, is recognised less and less, and our governments continue to make policy based on spurious understandings of the nature of higher education and its relationship to society, including the economy." (p 313)

Reality shows can be tricky to pull off. Consider the BBC show The Real Hustle, meant to expose the methods used by con artists and thieves to steal money. How can producers show individuals getting duped without actually committing frauds in the process?
After a couple of UK newspapers alleged in February that producers of The Real Hustle were using hired actors to pretend they were being conned in episodes that ran from 2006 to 2008, the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust opened an investigation to determine whether the shows had breached guidelines on accuracy and disclosure.
The results of the investigation have just been published, and they reveal that Hustle didn't improperly mislead audiences, but it did create "a lack of clarity and precision" about which was the "mark" and which was the "set up."
Producers recruited people desperate to appear on reality TV shows. Contrary to the claims by the newspapers, these individuals weren't trained actors. Nevertheless, they had no idea what show they were appearing on.
Call it the middle-ground of scamming.
The BBC Trust says in its latest ruling that the Hustle producers should have been more delicate about the way they handled these scams, and as a result has ordered that the shows never be re-aired. The committee says, however, there was no serious breach of editorial standards. In the future, the BBC Trust acknowledges there may be better ways to create more transparency without "destroying the mystique of the show," such as having filmed individuals confirm their reactions as genuine, not using web sites meant for actors, and giving more details about filming methodology on the producer's website.
The Real Hustle is about the air its 10th season.

Commercial real estate investors and property owners in Miami, Florida, may be anticipating whether the interest rates will be raised by the Federal Reserve by the end of 2015, which could affect property values. According to the New York Times, this is a possibility thanks to the improved economic growth, although nothing has been decided at this time. While some believe the rate increase would benefit the economy, others claim that financial markets have already been overstimulated by the delay, and a crash is possible.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the impact of low interest rates on commercial real estate are of concern because an increase could negatively affect property values and cause many loan defaults. However, a corresponding rise in inflation and rent increases may counter this effect, and proponents of the hike state that the market has not been destabilized by the overbuilding that led to the bust in 2008.
Property investments for U.S. pension funds are at 7.7 percent of their assets, and investors around the globe have been focusing on commercial real estate during this period of low interest rates. This has led to record high prices that are continuing to rise.
Moody's Investors Service, which provides research on global capital markets, has warned of the pitfalls of increasingly relaxed lending standards. Already, bank encouragement has led many to invest in real estate, despite the risks. One result of this is the outstanding commercial real estate loans held by banks at the end of the first quarter of this year, which were at $1.7 trillion. These facts indicate that close attention to the future of interest rates is warranted by commercial real estate investors.

While some performers like Melissa McCarthy ("Mike & Molly") and Margo Martindale ("Justified") win with their first Emmy bid, others are doomed to lose year after year. Sunday's most high profile also-ran was Steve Carell ("The Office"), who lost Best Comedy Actor a sixth consecutive time. This was his final chance as he left the NBC sitcom last May.
Both this year and last, Carell was defeated by Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory." While repeat wins at the Emmys are a matter of course, all our pundits and editors expected Carell to prevail when he submitted his farewell episode, "Goodbye, Michael." In years past, there had been speculation that Carell's character Michael Scott was just too awkward and unlikable to appeal to Emmy voters, but Michael has rarely been more relatable than in his final episode.
Carell's last attempt was a valiant one, and the loss is difficult to explain, but he has had a checkered history with the Emmys. While he entered episodes that showed Michael at his worst during the show's second season ("The Injury") and fifth ("The Cover-Up"), the sweet "Business School" from season three and charming "Goodbye, Toby" from season four still weren't enough to put him over the top.
Perhaps Carell can take solace in knowing he is not the category's biggest loser — Hal Linden ("Barney Miller") and John Goodman ("Roseanne") both lost seven bids.
When "House" star Hugh Laurie lost his sixth Best Drama Actor race Sunday, he equalled Martin Sheen ("The West Wing") for most rebuffs by the academy. Laurie has lost despite several Emmy bait entries, including last year's "Broken." In that two-hour episode, Dr. Gregory House entered rehab and finally found redemption. This year on "After Hours," House performed surgery on his own leg in a bathtub. Despite Laurie's best efforts, Emmy voters went for three-time champ Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") last year and the low-key work of Kyle Chandler ("Friday Night Lights") this time around.
"Mad Men" may have dominated the Best Drama Series race four years straight, but it has yet to win any Emmys acting. This year, seven performers were nominated across the six acting categories. None won.
Lead actor Jon Hamm and supporting player John Slattery were favored to finally win on their fourth attempts, but they lost to first-time champs Chandler and Peter Dinklage ("Game of Thrones") respectively. Elisabeth Moss lost for the third time and Christina Hendricks was rebuffed with her second bid as Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife") and Martindale ("Justified") prevailed.
Chandler also edged out Michael C. Hall, who is now a four-time loser for his leading role as "Dexter." Others who struck out for the third time Sunday were Supporting Comedy Actress contenders Jane Krakowski ("30 Rock") and Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live") who lost this time to Julie Bowen of "Modern Family."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -– Senator Barack Obama linked the fragile American economy to a "careless and incompetent execution" of the Iraq conflict, imploring voters in this perennial swing state here today to weigh the trickle-down, pocketbook consequences of the war as they choose a successor to President Bush.
"When you're spending over $50 to fill up your car because the price of oil is four times what it was before Iraq, you're paying a price for this war," Mr. Obama told an audience at the University of Charleston. "When Iraq is costing each household about $100 a month, you're paying a price for this war."
In his second speech on Iraq in as many days, Mr. Obama presented an economic argument for ending the war. While arriving here for his first campaign trip in advance of the West Virginia primary on May 13, Mr. Obama barely mentioned his Democratic rival, but fiercely criticized Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.
"No matter what the costs, no matter what the consequences, John McCain seems determined to carry out a third Bush-term. That's an outcome America can't afford," Mr. Obama said. "Because of the Bush-McCain policies, our debt has ballooned."
Mr. McCain, who was in London on a leg of his week-long tour through Europe and the Middle East, quickly responded with his own forceful criticism of Mr. Obama's plan to remove combat troops from Iraq.
"On national security, Senator Obama would rather rehash the past than look forward with resolve to address fundamental challenges and opportunities we have today to secure our future," said Jill Hazelbaker, a spokeswoman for Mr. McCain. "He has embraced an irresponsible policy of withdrawing our troops from Iraq without regard for the conditions on the ground, the advice of our military commanders or the consequences of failure."
Mr. Obama arrived in West Virginia one day after Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton made a campaign visit to the state. In the protracted fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, West Virginia is among the primaries she hopes to win, relying on a strong coalition of older and blue-collar voters who have supported her in other nearby states.
Senator Jay Rockefeller, Democrat of West Virginia, introduced Mr. Obama as "the real deal." He added, "He's a man who's worked for everything he's achieved, which is something I can't say," laughed Mr. Rockefeller, who hails from one of the nation's wealthiest families.
After delivering a speech on race Tuesday in Philadelphia, Iraq has been the focus of Mr. Obama's message. The address here today focused almost entirely on the domestic costs of the war as he sought to remind voters here and beyond that their education, health care and even roads and bridges have been neglected because of the war's financial toll.
"Like so much else about this war, we were not told the truth," Mr. Obama said, adding: "The costs of this war have been compounded by its careless and incompetent execution."
A year ago, during the opening phase of his presidential candidacy, Mr. Obama sought to appeal to voters because of his initial opposition to the war. As the economy has emerged as the electorate's chief concern, Mr. Obama argued the two are undeniably tied together.
"So we know what this war has cost us -– in blood and in treasure," Mr. McCain said. "But in the words of Robert Kennedy, 'past error is no excuse for its own perpetuation.'"

A British man who invented a sex robot unveiled his creation on live television and left the hosts in shock when he said he lets his kids play with her, Breitbart report.
The sex robot named "Samantha" was created by Arran Lee Wright and was developed with artificial intelligence that allows her to respond in specific situations.
In an episode of ITV's "This Morning," Wright explained the benefits of owning a sex robot such as helping people improve their relationships.
In the case of Samantha, the inventor said that she has a "family mode" that allows her to interact with his children, ages three and five years old, just like any member of their family.
"She can talk about animals, she can talk about philosophy, she can talk about science," Wright said.
Wright's wife Hannah Ngyuen, who was also in the studio, admits she's "totally happy" having the Samantha at home around "with her kids."

I handed in the first draft of 'Different Class' to Unbound yesterday. It's been a long road and I've been told that the fun bit begins now. The manuscript will be edited first and then artwork and design chosen before it goes in to final production. I don't know how long this will all take at the moment but the book should be published around the middle of next year all being well.Thanks once again to everyone who has pledged and encouraged me along the way, it wouldn't have happend without you and probably would have stayed in an old A4 ring binder gathering dust under the bed.

The MAPP Program Task Forces target high-priority research areas where rapid progress is needed to advance MAPP Program objectives. MAPP Program Task Forces will provide a working-level opportunity for MAPP-funded PIs already engaged in research projects with synergetic objectives to communicate and coordinate. Activities of the MAPP Task Forces will target well-defined yet broad research objectives requiring a community approach, beyond the scope of an individual research project. Objectives will be defined considering programmatic, scientific and operational drivers of relevance to the Task Force research area, and the likelihood of success considering the MAPP PIs involved (e.g,. their expertise and funded research projects) and the time span of the Task Force.
