DAVID SEAMAN'S Arsenal reunion ended in disaster after he made the crucial blunder which sent his old club three points clear at the top of the Barclaycard Premiership.
Manchester City looked good value for a point after battling through the disappointment of allowing Sylvain Wiltord to level Lauren's bizarre early own goal.
But all their good work was undone in a frantic penalty-box skirmish 17 minutes from time in which Seaman came out to collect a dangerous Thierry Henry pass intended for Robert Pires but succeeded only in kneeing it straight to Freddie Ljungberg, who tapped the winner into an empty net.
After 13 glorious years service at Highbury, it must have been heartbreaking for Seaman to make such a mistake, but City's failure to make the most of decent passages of possession emphasised why manager Kevin Keegan has brought Steve McManaman and Claudio Reyna to the club.
The victory maintained Arsenal's 100 per cent start to the season and after a summer in which Seaman's departure and the arrival of his replacement Jens Lehmann was almost the only discernible transfer activity, Arsene Wenger appears to have measured the merits of his squad exactly right.
The Seaman sub-plot which surrounded the fixture was shoved forcibly to one side as news filtered through of Manchester United's unexpected demise at Southampton.
For Arsenal it meant the opportunity to take a decisive lead at the top of the table; for City it offered the chance of a two-week stay at the summit following their 24-hour stop-off earlier in the week.
Having never led the Premiership at all prior to their win over Blackburn last Monday, the state of play was of far more significance to City and it looked like that by the way both sides began the game.
Aside from an early chance for Henry, the visitors created nothing for half an hour.
In that time, Paul Bosvelt had ignited a running battle with Patrick Vieira, Sylvain Distin and David Sommeil had performed creditably at the heart of City's defence and Shaun Wright-Phillips was giving Ashley Cole an afternoon of misery down the right.
While these fine individual performances gave the Blues reason for optimism after successive heavy home defeats to yesterday's opponents, no-one could have predicted exactly how they ended up taking the lead.
Even under the initial pressure from Trevor Sinclair, there was no excuse for Lauren's failure to execute a clean back pass to Lehmann as he chased down Distin's long punt downfield.
In his effort to make amends with the second attempt, Lauren tried to steady himself, received a shove in the back from Sinclair as he drew his foot back and then dispatched the ball into the corner of his own net.
But in the end Arsenal roared back to win - courtesy of the Seaman blunder.

What's New in New York City - Costco Comes to Manhattan
Whether the news makes you cheer or grimace, Costco is finally opening in Manhattan. The East 116th Street store opens Thursday, November 12th at 8am (this is a special time for opening day). A basic membership is $50 for a year. I think I audibly gulped at the price.
Until the end of the year, there's a special offer if you bring a friend to sign up with you. Maybe the $10 (or $20 if you can convince 2 people to sign up) sweetens the deal a bit. (Click here for the original email that you'll need to take with you)
Costco is the first store to open in the long awaited East River Complex. The New York Times reports that the others (like Target, Best Buy and Marshall's) will open next spring.

Puerto Rico's Borrowing Bubble Pops
Moody's measure of 'expected default' for Puerto Rico is higher than Argentina and Venezuela.
Here we go again: Another big-government paradise is running out of other people's money—to paraphrase Margaret Thatcher. This time it's the commonwealth of Puerto Rico that has borrowed too much and is now signaling that it might not be able to pay it all back. The only question that remains is who will eat the losses.
Head doctors say that addicts have to reach rock bottom before they find the will to change their ways. It may be that Puerto Rico, high on cheap money from American creditors for the last decade, is reaching...

IF there's one thing Liverpool Football Club has never been associated it is public turmoil in or at boardroom level.
So to hear David Moores offering to consider his position as chairman before hundreds of shareholders at this week's highly-charged annual meeting was unprecedented in modern times.
Already there are plenty of people publicly - and privately - telling him to forget the idea. Particularly after last night's gutsy victory at Chelsea which proved there is still reason for hope in the hearts at Anfield.
But many of those same people urging Moores to stay put are very interested in seeing a partnership now develop between him and Steve Morgan, the man who made a massive fortune through building up the Redrow organisation from scratch.
It's a natural, instinctive reaction and easy to understand the sentiment behind the idea.
Here are two men, for all their apparent past differences, who have a passionate love of the same club; who have both stood on the Kop during the glory years of the 70s and 80s and who pang for a resurgent return to the days of real triumph.
To many, with their vast wealth and their love of Liverpool, they would form an obvious dream ticket at Anfield.
But while Moores, to his great credit, will now sit down with Morgan to try and 'bury the hatchet' as he puts it, no one should think it will be at all easy.
Dream tickets have a tendency to exist more in theory than in reality, where they can easily become nightmares.
The egos of individuals and the natural desires for one to seek supremacy over another can be hidden dangers which lurk behind otherwise ideal-looking partnerships.
Liverpudlians will be praying that is not the case here. Because if those basic instincts can be kept out of any deal which gives Morgan more influence at Anfield, then there really may be something worth pursuing here.
Moores inherited much of his money through the Littlewoods empire. He grew up surrounded by a philanthropic culture of business success, with all the lessons his family and forefathers learned from their experience running the pools and retail giants.
Morgan, however, created his Redrow house-building empire out of his own builder's toolbag, starting from the bottom and learning his lessons the hard way at the sharp end.
The differences between Moores and Morgan, just like the similarities, might actual ly be p ote ntial strengths which would make them effective allies.
If so Liverpool will hope to reap the benefits not only of their wallets - but of their business acumen and their deep understanding of the club.
But it is still a pretty big 'if' at the moment. And a lot of honest straight-talking must yet take place before we know the outcome on this one.
If beneath the surface this is actually more about a power struggle than a partnership, it will do more harm than good to pretend otherwise.

Not quite as exciting as an all-new astromech, this older Destroyer Droid has limited articulation but a decent sculpt. There's not a lot to it, but it looks good. Want to know more? Read on!
Given the nebulous nature of what constitutes an actual full figure, the Red R9-Series Astromech Droid is more than a little arbitrary. We'll be viewing the Star Tours Droid Factory figures as unique characters, defined by the dome. (The body is, of course, up to you.) This one is bright red, almost orange, with a rich silver texture and a softer sculpt than his brothers. Is it worth the trip and obscene price on eBay?
Let's look at Dagobah Darth Vader. The funny thing about this one, there are two other versions of the "character" but all of them are a little different. Why is this one the best?
This Darth Maul is a lot like another Darth Maul, but it's got a jacket. But no shirt. Why? I have no idea, but here it is so read on.
Check out this Clone Trooper. It's red! There are other ones too, but this one is red. It also has some added panel lining, so it looks good. Read on!
This Power Droid is in stores now, exclusive to Target and an all-new tool. The top comes off! Amazing. Well, it's neat, let's say. Is it worth your while? Read on!
While not the last, this release of Commander Bacara may well be the best. It came in a Battle Pack and has some nice damage deco. Should you get yours? Read on!
Hasbro has provided us with official images of what was revealed at Celebration CVI on Friday for next year's Droid Factory Wave 2, 2013 Clone Wave 1, 2013 Movie Heroes Wave 1, Class I and II Vehicles, and Fighter Pods. Here's the breakdown:
The Galactic Battle Game campaign officially comes to an end in 2012 and will not be included as a pack-in feature for the Movie Heroes and Clone Wars assortments in 2013.
Legacy Collection in 2013 will be including the Build-A-Droid parts for Droid Factory as its pack in and the Movie Heroes and Clone Wars assortment packaged in the new Yoda line look will only include an action figure stand.
You wondered what's underneath that helmet since Comic-Con and here it is, Presenting some loose shots of the new Royal Guard sans helmet and cape. Enjoy!
Remember Durge? Nine years ago, he was revealed as a toy for the very first time and this animated version of the figure came a little bit later. Is he cool?
Stay Class I-ey, Hasbro! Because Hasbro is cool, I got to play with the Class I and Class II 2013 vehicles. You saw some impressions of Class II earlier, and now I get to tell you about the new Mini-Rigs! So read on, and know that I had me a great time.
We've posted photos from today's Hasbro panel and booth. There are a few things to be excited about, including a TRU Vintage Slave I in 2013 and images of new Droid Factory and Clone Wars figures. Not much in terms of exclusives, but a new assortment of down-sized Class II vehicles to make them more affordable for the mommy market will surely cause debate.
TOP STORY: From the bowels of Orlando, it's Hasbro! Since the debut of their booth was packed with previously unveiled items, the level of excitement for the big slideshow was even higher than usual. Armed with a laptop and my pals Mike and Shannon, we aim to bring you not-very-timely information on this grand event.
This is all you want to know; there wasn't anything new today. With no show exclusive and a scaled down presence for Celebration VI, Hasbro was remarkably low key for Day 1. Yet Hasbro Star Wars brand reps were engaging inquiring fans in other ways such as demonstrating the various features of the new MTT and diplomatically answering questions about distribution, which quite frankly, has reached its saturation point from a reporting point of view.

We're at that point of actively preparing for Elliott to start prep next year. We've had a screener interview in April and most recently an enrolment interview.
I don't know why but I was nervous for the first one. The second one, well, it took me a little by surprise and then afterwards, it utterly confused and annoyed the shit out of me.
So let's track back to the first interview.
The first interview
Elliott is four years old. We take him to a building he's never been before to meet someone he's never met before. Of course, he's going to be shy.
The teacher asks him various questions. " Point to the shape that is the odd one out. Write your first name. Balance on one leg. Walk in a straight line, one foot in front of the other."
The teacher noted down her observations on a form. I was trying to decipher them but it made absolutely no sense to me. I just went with the flow knowing there was a reason for the questions, they meant something.
Towards the end of the interview, Elliott started to come out of his shell. The teacher said there would be another interview at which we could catch up and see how Elliott was progressing. She assured us that this was all about ensuring Elliott was ready for prep.
The second interview
The second interview comes along, we go to a completely different office but meet with the same teacher. Elliott was a lot more confident but still not himself. Who could blame him?
We sit at a table and the teacher goes over the results from the first interview.
"Based on the results from Elliott's first interview, he's actually fallen under the prep readiness level," the teacher said. I remember thinking to myself how on earth could his prep readiness be determined on a few questions in a totally alien environment?
The teacher did admit that Elliott was a little shy and that this likely influenced the answers to his questions, so she asked the questions again. Thankfully he did really well.
And then another bombshell came along (well it was to me considering this is all so new). The teacher told me that Elliott fell below the average for gross motor skills. Skills such as balancing, walking in a line and heel to toe. She then went on to explain that a whopping 70% of the children fell below average. Something didn't sit right with me hearing this result. To me this isn't a failure on the children's' part, to me, it seems like it shouldn't be an indicator at all considering their age.
After giving me this result, the teacher suggested I let him balance on things a little more. I can appreciate that she's doing her job and likely following a particular guideline but what I'm confused about is that fact that Elliott does activities using gross motor skills every single day. He also LOVES soccer and running. He does not need any more focus on these skills, he's four years old!
And the results kept on coming. It was at this point where I came to understand the complete ridiculousness of the current methodologies when it comes to educating our kids. They're expected to fit into this little box.
"My concern is that he can't write his name yet," the teacher said to me.
But no, the teacher was quite insistent that he really should know how to write his name by now. I'll say it again, he's only four years old!
Again, I appreciated the teacher's help, she suggested some fine motor skills activities for me to do with Elliott to help him improve his writing and drawing shapes, but still, I just couldn't understand. So many of the things she suggested he enjoys on a daily basis, so it wasn't the fact that he lacked the skills at all.
Towards the end of the interview, the teacher went over what the children will be learning in prep during the year. Now, as I've said, this is all completely new to me and I'm simply going with the flow and learning about this new stage in mine and Elliott's life, but when the teacher said that they have them writing sentences by the end of the year, I was both shocked and amazed. When I was that age, I was happy painting and playing, there's no way I was writing sentences and reading books. How did I turn out? Well, pretty good I think.
Why so much pressure?
Through this 'getting ready for prep' experience I can honestly say that, as a parent, I'm overwhelmed, confused, surprised and just a little nervous. The experience has definitely got me asking why we are expecting and putting pressure our children to do things so young? It seems as though young children who are still developing are expected to conform to one set of criteria when we all know that kids (and adults) learn at different paces and in different ways.
Talking, reciting the alphabet, counting to ten, counting to twenty, writing their name….why is there so much emphasis on doing these so young, so soon?
My belief is that kids will do it when they're ready and when they are given the opportunity to learn in a way that suits them. Perhaps, if we force them, they'll most likely memorise it without having an understanding of what they're saying or writing.
It happens all the time, children who are behind eventually catch up to those in front anyway. We experienced it with Elliott's speech. He experienced mild hearing loss for quite some time before having his adenoids removed and grommets when he was 22 months old. I can remember feeling really worried that he was falling behind in his speech, but he caught up and now you can't shut him up!
So no, my son can't write his name. But do you know what is more important than being able to write his name? It's his confidence, the fact that he is a kind, happy and creative kid. He has his little quirks, things he enjoys and things he's good at, he loves building things and he has a wonderful imagination. Elliott is busy developing into his own self, he may not learn like other kids, but he's still learning about the world in his own little way and in his own time.
How do you feel about the expectations placed on our young children?
*Edit – After writing this post I came to realise that I wasn't quite clear and want to add that my concern and surprise lies around the requirements for prep readiness, not with the school or it's prep curriculum. We are not at the prep stage yet and so I cannot comment on the school's teaching. The school definitely does focus on play-based learning, it is one of the reasons we are sending him there and was one of my first questions. My post is more focused on the whole 'readiness' thing for a four-year-old and how it's come as a big surprise to me. I'm here sharing why I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – A decisive Democratic primary marred by accusations of bribery and bitter racial divides has ended in favor of St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.
In his bid to become the city's longest-serving mayor, the incumbent Slay defeated Aldermanic President Lewis Reed and former Alderman Jimmie Matthews Tuesday. With no Republicans vying for the seat, Tuesday's vote virtually grants Slay a fourth term as mayor after next month's general election.
The unofficial tally released by the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners Tuesday night showed Slay with 23,968 votes (54.43%), Reed with 19,494 (44.27%) and Matthews with 575 (1.31%). According to the unofficial figures, 21.9% of registered voters cast a mayoral ballot and 13.8% of city residents, registered or unregistered, did.
The race began in earnest on November 26 of last year when the three candidates filed for the primary. On that Monday morning, it was already apparent that two issues – race and crime – would dominate much of the campaign. Speaking with reporters that day, Slay, who is white, said he was "concerned" that Reed, who is African-American, would "try and use the 'race card' in the campaign." Reed fired back, saying Slay had "already been stoking those coals and I think that's a mistake and the wrong way to go."
The racial divide took an ugly turn in February when flyers began circulating in the city depicting the mayor as a slave owner and his black supporters as boot-licking "Slayves." Both campaigns denounced the flyer; Reed's campaign manager Glenn Burleigh said it was in "extremely poor taste" while the Slay campaign issued a statement claiming it was "an appalling contradiction to the Reed campaign's theme of 'One St. Louis' when they and their supporters demean, in the worst possible way, African Americans who support Mayor Slay."
In early February, Reed and his supporters twice accused the mayor of unscrupulous behavior. On February 1, KMOX reported Reed was fearful that $160,000 raised for a ballot initiative was finding its way into the mayoral race. "They could be paying people cash transactions. They could be doing nearly anything," Reed said. The mayor's campaign manager and campaign attorney both denied the accusations.
Days later came the election's biggest bombshell. North St. Louis Alderman Sam Moore, a supporter of Reed in the race, told KMOX it all began when he received a phone call. "It happened about three, four months ago. An individual called me on the phone, a public servant, and they offered me $10,000 not to say anything, not to be a part of the race, just do nothing," he said. "Do not help Lewis Reed by any means, just stay out of the race." Moore refused to identify the alleged briber by name and Slay's campaign manager, Richard Callow, called the story "poppycock."
Among the mayor's endorsers were two of the city's most high-profile black politicians: U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-St. Louis, and Missouri Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, the latter of whom was outspoken in her defense of Slay on social media, saying on Facebook Monday, "If you don't like Slay because he is white – vote for Jimmy Matthews because Reed is no different than Slay!"
Among Reed's supporters was Ward 21 Alderman Antonio French. The city's labor community, meanwhile, was split; the Labor Council endorsed Slay but firefighters and the Carpenters Union sided with Reed.
Tuesday's result came as little surprise to University of Missouri – St. Louis political science professor Dave Robertson who said last month that Lewis Reed faced an uphill battle in his mayoral bid. "The odds are in the mayor's favor," Robertson noted. "The mayor has gotten enough support, I believe, to be able to build a winning coalition in this primary election and I don't think his opponents have built up widespread enough support."
Still, Robertson argued, Reed's approach was a good one. "He's got to put the incumbent on the defensive and you can see Lewis Reed is trying to do that, raising issues of crime, raising issues of various rankings of the city, talking about Slay's various financial dealings."
Both Slay and Reed appeared in-person on KMOX's Mark Reardon Show Monday to make their final pitch to voters and look back on the campaign. "It's been really hard and difficult to keep this thing focused on the issues," Reed lamented, adding that the "race card" was played by the mayor from the beginning, returning to the morning of November 26 when the candidates filed for the election.
"Right out of the box it started, but it started with that volley from him. You have to understand the subtleties of politics to understand exactly what he had just done. What he had done was just make it about race because he forced the press to come ask me about race," Reed said. "His campaign staffer this weekend said African-American women should never vote for Lewis Reed because he has a white wife. That comes from his paid staffer. They continue to play this race politics and it's ridiculous."
Slay, by contrast, spent much of his time Monday discussing future endeavors. "We need to break the back of crime. We need to continue to create more quality free public education options for parents and children. We need to do more to improve our airport, we got plans we're working on to make that happen."
With his win Tuesday, Slay becomes the city's longest serving mayor though not the first four-term mayor of St. Louis. William Carr Lane, the first mayor of St. Louis, was elected to eight one-year terms from 1823 to 1829 and again from 1837 to 1840.

TICONDEROGA - The community of Ticonderoga will be host to the second annual Streetfest Saturday, July 31, bringing a mix of arts and craft vendors, food kiosks and other unique exhibitors to Main Street.
The event, which is quickly evolving into one of the region's premiere family-friendly arts and craft fairs, drew more than 2,000 people during its inaugural year.
"Downtown Ticonderoga will become a festive pedestrian mall with food, live entertainment, interesting things to see, and opportunities to purchase unique crafts and gifts," said organizer Sue Rathbun, who chairs the Ticonderoga Montcalm Partnership, sponsor of Streetfest.
To facilitate Streetfest, Montcalm Street - the main thoroughfare in Ticonderoga - will be shut down from Lake George Avenue at Sunshine Laundry to Champlain Avenue at Glens Falls National Bank.
The street will close at 8 a.m. for set-up, with the event kicking off at 10 a.m. Fort Ticonderoga's award-winning Fife and Drum Corps will open the event with a performance down the center of the street, followed by other musical groups who will provide live entertainment throughout the day.
Main Street will be filled with arts and craft vendors, specialty food kiosks, sidewalk sales, a farmers market, and a display of antique cars, boats and other exhibitors.
There will be plenty for kids to do as well, with hands-on arts demonstrations and Penelope the Clown offering face painting and balloon art throughout the day.
Participating vendors will range from artisans specializing in wood crafts, toys, jewelry, glass and rustic furniture to food vendors offering tasty treats like snow-cones, deep-fried Oreos, fried dough and other specialties.
In addition, downtown businesses will join the fray with kiosks and specials, creating a downtown atmosphere not unlike Burlington's popular Church Street.
"Our first Streetfest last year was a great success," Rathbun said, noting planning for this year's event began even earlier. "We're determined that this year will be bigger and better. We look forward to welcoming people from the whole area of northern New York, as well as our friends from across Lake Champlain in Vermont."
The event will close at 4 p.m. with the street reopening to vehicles at 5 p.m. A list of participating crafters, car and boat dealers and the location of each will be available to visitors as they enter either end of Streetfest.
Since the event is weather-dependent, a rain date has been scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 1.

As the year comes to a closure, it is a good time to reflect on the year's happenings and also round up the year's purchases. On my end, it was my O levels' year, which led to a year mostly filled with mugging, mugging and more mugging.(that's extreme studying to you!) Through endless days and nights, my fountain pens were my best buddies and no matter what, they were always by my side. Ah, my trusty LAMY 2000...
Nonetheless, 2015 was still an amazing year with many intruiging releases to the pen world. Here are some of my favourites!
Pelikan m805 Stresemann
Picture from: fpgeeks
Initially when I saw this pen online, my first thoughts were "A grey pen... what's so special about it?" Oh, I was so wrong about that sentiment I had. As I read more about it online and reviews by other bloggers, I had unknowingly fell in love with the pen. Although the pen has not fallen into my hands just yet, it shall in due course. ;)
Franklin Christoph Antique Glass finish
I am speechless for words. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Picture from: Fountain Pen Day
Yep, just let that sink in.
J.Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor
I would say that this was the most anticipated ink of the year (eh?), and it certainly did not disappoint pen lovers around the globe. Personally, I love this ink with its deep teal-ish colour, shimmery gold goodness and beautiful red sheen. However, the bottle is more of a hit-or-miss, as with the other 1670 bottles.

Montblanc Writers' Edition 2015 : Leo Tolstoy Sky Blue Ink
This is one ink i'd definitely miss in 2016. This ink is in the shade of sky blue, in the retrospective that of Leo Tolstoy's desk, where he wrote most of his works on. To me, this blue is somewhat calming for me when I use it.

Pictures from: Gourmet Pens
Diamine Shimmering Inks
This was another mid-year highlight for 2015, where Diamine announced a line of inks which features gold and silver shimmer inside. As expected, this line of inks has added a splash of colour to the pen collections of many, and not be limited to J.Herbin's 1670 series.

Despite being an exam year for me, purchases could not escape my clutches. Here is an overview of the things I have bought/recieved:
- A ton of Iroshizuku inks (an amount i'm ashamed of)
- 3 Montblanc inks
- 6 Rohrer & Klingner inks
- 6 Sailor inks
- Bungbox 4B
- Lamy Turquoise
- LAMY2000 Makrolon - EF
- Faber Castell Loom, Orange - F
- Pilot Kakuno, Blue - F
- Pilot Penmanship - EF italic
- Pilot Petit1, Blue-Black - F
- TWSBI ECO - 1.1 Stub
- TWSBI 580 RG - M, grinded to architect point
- Platinum 3776 Bourgogne - UEF
- Platinum 3776 - MS (On Sale)
- Pilot Custom 74 - SF (Sold)
- Pilot Fermo , Blue - M
- Visconti Art Renaissance Stilo - M
- Pelikan m805 Stresemann - EF (Pending)
With that being said, that brings up my total inventory of 61 inks and 35 pens. At the rate i'm going, i'd collect inks that'll last me for more than 10 lifetimes. * cringe * Thankfully, my current collection will be able to sustain me for 2016. (I think)
In the new year, I hope i'll be able to hone my calligraphy skills and also better focus on my studies. What are your goals for 2016? I'd love to hear them! Here's to an awesome 2016, guys!

A few health administration career options are health insurance specialist, social and community service manager, practice manager, and nursing home administrator. Job seekers can search for these and other available health administration jobs on Indeed.com and Monster.com, or on the website of a hospital, nursing home or similar health agency.Continue Reading
Health insurance specialists work to both develop and implement health insurance plans, and regularly work with medical records to this end. They may also work in coordination with other insurance agencies and health officials. Practice managers oversee physician and medical groups' health care practices.
Social and community service managers are involved in social health programs for communities and families. They frequently work in conjunction with community workers and community organizers. Nursing home administrators manage homes for the elderly, including staff, finances, building and ground maintenance, and the admittance of new residents. Some nursing home administrators manage a single home, whereas others are in charge of several homes in a given region.
Health administration jobs can be either public or private sector. Managers who work for the public sector work for an agency with connections to local, state or federal governments, such as government departments of health. Examples of private sector health businesses that employ administrators are health insurance companies and consulting firms.Learn more about Career Aspirations

"I cannot believe Miliband will pursue this policy through to the election. If he does, he will have signed his political death warrant."
His political death warrant? This mansion tax must threaten a lot of voters then?
Well no. According to the ONS, just 1.2% of all properties are priced over £1 million in the UK and they don't even bother to give a figure for properties over £2 million.
I wonder how much Boris's home is worth?
Well according to the Land Registry, Boris bought his Islington home four years ago for £2.3 million:
Since then it has risen in value to over £2.6 million, according to one estimate:
A £326,000 increase in just four years. Trebles all round!
So what's Boris so worried about?
"The end result [of a mansion tax] would be in many cases to force sales, and to reduce the value of property – and for a country whose wealth is, for better or worse, so tightly tied to property, that would not be a good outcome."
Well it certainly wouldn't be a good outcome for Boris and his £2.6 million home. What about the rest of us?
"Yes, of course we need people to be able to afford to live in Britain. But the answer is not to make it even more punishing to own a home in an expensive part of the country. The answer is to get going with a massive programme of house-building on the many brownfield sites."
Ah housebuilding. We're finally on to something to do with Boris's day job.
"If you listen to Nick Boles, the housing minister, you can see that he understands the urgency of the problem."
Which of course he would, if he was still the Housing Minister.
The current Housing Minister is actually Mark Prisk.
You might have expected the Mayor of London to know that...

Whenever anyone, whether student or professional scholar, submits any piece of writing bearing his name as author, he is understood to claim that all of the ideas, opinions, facts, figures, conclusions, revisions, and words are his own original work unless he has specifically indicated otherwise. To fail to acknowledge any of one's sources of information or help is considered to be plagiarism. Whether those sources are published or unpublished, written or oral, is irrelevant. In simpler terms, plagiarism is a matter of dishonesty, of stealing.
In a university one of the fundamental duties of a teacher is to evaluate the abilities and achievements of his students. The teacher's judgment must, in large part, be based upon the evidence of various pieces of the student's writing, which may include exercises, quizzes, examinations, reports, essays, and research papers. Therefore, any student who submits someone else's work as his own is guilty of a deception and deprives the teacher of a reliable basis on which to judge ability.
The Result of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the most serious academic offense at a university. Instructors who discover students cheating in this way on written work may fail them in the course. It is the student's responsibility to ask the instructor what his or her policy is for dealing with cases of plagiarism; it is the duty of each instructor to specify clearly to students what penalty they will impose in cases of plagiarism.
How to Avoid Plagiarism
Sometimes students, even those with good intentions, find it difficult to apply the general definition of plagiarism to specific circumstances. The following statements spell out what is generally understood to come under the heading of plagiarism.
There are basically two ways in which you may use sources in a paper: (1) you may use the exact words of the original source (direct quotation) or (2) you may use the ideas from the source but put them in your own words (paraphrase). In any case, adhere strictly to the following standards:
(1) Direct Quotations: If you decide to quote a long or short passage or even a phrase of only three or four words, remember the following:
NOTE: Material which can be considered general or common knowledge need not be footnoted. In most cases, for example, a reference to the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt was President of the United States during World War II or that the United States entered the war after Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, would be considered general knowledge. In some cases, what is and what is not general knowledge is determined by the audience for whom you are writing. If you have any questions about what should or should not be footnoted in your particular case, you should ask your instructor.
The development of intellectual honesty and integrity is a primary goal of a university education. Plagiarism - besides being dishonest in itself - defeats this purpose.
Plagiarism and Documentation: Examples
Below are illustrations of both correct and incorrect handling of source material.
Original Source
"The emergence in widespread practice of the Baconian creed that scientific knowledge means technological power over nature can scarcely be dated before about 1850, save in the chemical industries, where it is anticipated in the eighteenth century. Its acceptance as a normal pattern of action may mark the greatest event in human history since the invention of agriculture, and perhaps in nonhuman terrestrial history as well. <5>
<5>Lynn White, Jr., "The Historical Roots of our Ecological Crisis," Science (March 10, 1967), p. 1203.
Paraphrase: Plagiarized
The widespread use of the Baconian creed that scientific understanding means technological power can hardly be dated before 1850, except for chemical industries, where it is anticipated in the 1700's, this being accepted as a usual pattern of action may be the most important event in history since agriculture was invented, and in nonhuman earthly history, too. <5>
Paraphrase: Correct
One of the most important events, in either human or natural history, occurred with the general application of the principle that mankind can exercise control over nature by applying what is learned through science, a notion of Bacon's first applied in the 1700s in the chemical industries but more generally only after about 1805. <5>
The phrasing of the plagiarized example is much too close to the original.
In summary: you have cheated . . . .
(1) if you quote without using quotation marks or a proper footnote; (2) if you quote without using quotation marks even with a proper footnote; (3) if you paraphrase improperly or too closely even with a footnote; (4) if you paraphrase properly but do not use a proper footnote; (5) if you use a fact, idea, etc., that is not common knowledge without footnoting, or; (6) if you fabricate sources or quotations to make it appear you have based your work on research when you have not in fact done so.
Questions about any of these matters should be directed to your instructor.
The statement of academic dishonesty adopted by the Board of Regents of Murray State University on February 14, 1975 reads as follows:
Cheating, plagiarism (submitting another person's material as one's own, or doing work for another person which will receive academic credit) are all impermissible. This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure or give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers, or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student's own work. Disciplinary action will be taken beyond the academic discipline administered by the faculty member who teaches the course in which the cheating took place.

Photos show one of the first specimens we got of Rossi Braztech's new M830, named model Rio Grande Lever Action Shotgun. Although the history goes all the way back to the Winchester Model of 1883, this Rossi is more heavily indebted to John Marlin than to Oliver Winchester. The Weaver type scope base sitting atop this Rio Grande's receiver emphasizes that fact as much as anything. That base is removable, of course, and it, the cross-receiver hammer safety, and the 1 inch recoil pad are the only 20th century trappings to this rifle. Styling is traditional repeating or lever action rifle type, only chambered for .410 gauge, 2 1/2 inch, shotshells. Barrel is 20 inches, and gently rifled for accurate use of slugs, but not enough pronounced rifling to interfere with Shotshells or even buckshot. Company does not advise whether .45 Colt Ammunition is at all feasible; probably not. Capacity is 5 + 1 rounds of .410 gauge, 2 1/2 inch shells; this shotgun is not 3 inch capable. Sights are traditional buckhorn type with step elevator dovetailed-in rear and dovetailed blade front with brass tip. Weight empty is 5.8 pounds, balanced just forward of the lever mount strut on the receiver. Overall length is 38.9 inches, and length of pull is a very adult 13 7/8 inches from the face of the blue steel trigger to the end of the buttpad.

To the Editor:
May we please use your newspaper to thank some very dedicated, kind and considerate people?
Our mother and grandmother, Grace Frank, was a patient in the Allentown Osteopathic Medical Center several times in the past year - most recently in February. Because of her medical condition, transportation to the hospital was usually in the form of an ambulance or police patrol car. The ambulance attendants and police officers were most courteous and considerate. The care she received at AOMC from all who tended to her needs was marvelous - particularly the nurses and personnel on the third floor, and especially Jim, who was instrumental in removing some of her discomfort. Everyone who met her requirements was cheerful and solicitous, no matter how difficult the conditions.

The Liquidity Revolution
The Societe Generale event "The liquidity revolution: long term investors, cash, and the unintended consequences of regulation" will be held in Amsterdam on 3rd November 2016.
The impact of regulation is forcing long-term investors to adopt new perspectives on how to efficiently manage changes in key, interconnected areas: liquidity & financing; ALM hedging; execution; flowing through to the more "inert" areas of clearing and custody.
During the half-day event on the top floor of the Rembrandt Tower, the various seminar speakers will provide:
- an overview of the regulatory and market developments that are causing these changes;
- predictions of where these developments will lead;
- expert views from long-term investors on how they as end users are changing their own organisations, their use of financial instruments and their business partners within this context.
The seminar will bring together Societe Generale experts on financial markets, clearing and post-trade services.

Girplan Guardian in WoS
Located along cliff wall up from where 'cubbies' are located. Here's a strat from Alla, seems like they pulled him to portal cave for fight:
First of all, this mob does not quad, he quintuples (5x) for 2400 dmg
(12100 / round) and rampages aproximately every 4 or 5 seconds. Rampage attack is AE hitbox and also quintuple.
Main tank: Unbuffed: 10khp / 2200ac / 15% shielding / max defensives
Backup Tank: Unbuffed: 11khp / 2350ac / 17% shielding / max defensives
Two clerics and druid were assigned healing on MT.
All other paladin/priests were assigned to keep their group alive (AE Rampage) and patch heal MT.
AE spell damage negated by MGB's (all stack, but not with same class type)
5 Cleric chain MGB Heal over time (max aa) 400/tick heal
2 Druids MGB HoT during fight (max aa) 400/tick
Shaman MGB HoT half way during fight (max aa) 400/tick
Main tank was two rounded towards end of fight due to the 4000dd proc. Our main hurdle was overcoming simple dps due to the nature of the AE's. Melee dps need to watch their health carefully from the AE rampage and duck out of fight for heals as needed.
We set up in portal room west of cubby camp and pulled mob there, main tank positioned in doorway sorta. There is a corner there which faces north that is easy to tank in.

Adult oysters filter about 50-gallons of water daily. After 10-years of study, scientists figured out a way to measure how much nitrogen an oyster removes from the water daily as it pumps it through its body. Nitrogen is a key cause of dead zones in marine ecosystems.
Daniel Harris of the University of Georgia Marine Extension Shellfish Lab says, oysters are considered a keystone species in Georgia.
"With more people there's more development and there's more pollution that's introduced to the water. So, as oysters are filter feeders, it's really important to have a healthy oyster population to help mitigate some of the pollution that were introducing," Harris said.
The Alabama researchers say, oysters filter pollution at very variable rates from one body of water to the next. They say, the study can be used to help Georgia oyster researchers ask similar questions here.

Not long ago we posted about a proposal that the Israeli government pay a small sum to anyone who'd change their foreign-sounding name to a Hebrew one. Initially, we were responding to a query from a reader, but once we were there, we put the correspondence into the context of Ben Gurion's control-freak urges or lack thereof.
Yesterday Stephen J. Dubner linked to our post from the Freakonomics blog. Predictably, he was intrigued by the economic aspect of the discussion, an angle we hadn't given much thought to.
Which just goes to show that archives can be interesting for all sorts of reasons, many of them unforeseen by the archivists.
PS. If you haven't yet read it, you might wish to take Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything (P.S.) when you go to the beach this summer.

Not too much to say about this image, aside the fact that I'm pretty happy with it. Best forest I've ever done.
These are studies for characters for a book Ba's illustrating.
We have been working so much that, instead of getting tired of it, we're getting more and more excited.
"This", we think, "is really what's like to wake up and draw comics until you finish your day."
"This is our life now."
"This is good."

Duggars' latest legal move sounds like a ploy for money
The Duggar family is threatening to sue over the release of the police report detailing Josh's alleged sexual molestation of his sisters and one other girl — but their move smacks of desperation.
According to new information obtained by In Touch, Duggar family attorney Kevin Crass sent text messages to Mark R. Hayes, the director of legal services for the Arkansas Municipal League, implying that the family means to bring legal action against the City of Springdale for what was a perfectly legal release of the report via the Freedom of Information Act.
More: Research on the Duggars' lifestyle and beliefs exposes shocking revelations
"I am a conservative defense lawyer and I don't see a defense of the chief's actions," Crass wrote. "If there is not a desire to resolve there will be an expensive (and embarrassing) lawsuit."
The eye-catching part of that text is his mention of "a desire to resolve" — implying a quick settlement before a court case is filed.
Why is that important? The family's hit show, 19 Kids and Counting, has officially been canceled by TLC, meaning a huge chunk of their income just disappeared, and according to one source, they are desperate for cash.
"The family fortune has taken a massive hit — and they're fighting back against everyone," an insider told In Touch. "It smacks of desperation."
Hey, 19 kids aren't just going to feed themselves.
See the rest of the texts over at In Touch.
