Full Product Description
Attention is given to the way in which Methodist scholars and ministers, ranging from A.S. Peake to Leslie Weatherhead and Donald Soper to Kenneth Greet, have sought to relate questions of war and peace to broader considerations of Christian faith and practice. Chapters focus on responses within British Methodism to the Boer War and its aftermath, the First World War, the inter-war years and the rise of fascism, the Second World War, the Cold War, debates about the relationship between economic justice and conflict in the post-1945 period, and the international situation since the end of the Cold War.Looking at official Conference documents and 'grass roots' material, the author shows how Methodists, alongside other Christians, have wrestled with questions such as whether it can ever be right for Christians to take up arms or support their country in times of war? Does the state have the right to conscript its citizens to fight in times of war, and should individuals have the right to object to military service on grounds of conscience? Is it ever morally acceptable to possess weapons of mass destructions or to target civilians in times of war?Is it possible to identify new ways of promoting global economic justice in order to reduce the incidence of war and conflict (debt relief, new trading patterns, etc.)?

Re: The Cotton Club
In Response To: Re: The Cotton Club ()
I found a Cotton Club Program from 1934, when my mother was working in the show. The bandleader at this time was Jimmy Lunceford. I also remember her speaking about performing with the Cab Callaway band -I really do not have anecdotal information about Duke Ellington although I have reason to believe that she worked with him also. Are you writing a book on Duke Ellington? And,is this research for publication or thesis? Just interested.

Chapter 10 : True Identity
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
I had to triple check if I, in fact, had my eyes open, because I was surrounded by nothing but darkness. The harsh stone floors went through my thin robes, making me shiver from the cold. I was positive if I could see that I would see a puff of my breath in the freezing room.
I tried to stand up, but I heard the loud clangs of chains being scraped against the floor, telling me I wouldn't be able to move far from where I already was. I brought my arms to wrap around my body, trying to keep the little warmth I still had inside of me.
As I tried to recall how I got here I head a loud yell from above, causing me to jump from the silence being broken.
Footsteps moved quickly on the wooden floors above, as they left and made their way towards the door that held me captive.
"Lumos." A shaky voice whispered.
An ugly man stood before me, with messed up thin hair, scarred face, and small beady eyes. This man reminded me of a mouse by the way he kept twitching his hands and his buckteeth kept nibbling his chapped lips.
He pointed his wand at the chain that held me to the floor, muttering an incantation that caused the clasp around my ankles to set me free.
"Come, come quickly! We can't leave the Dark Lord waiting!"
I was in the headquarters of the Dark Lord? This can't be good.
I tried to stand, but my shaky legs kept buckling underneath me. The rat man ran forward, grabbed me arm and hoisted me up. A shutter of disgust went through my body as his long dirty fingernails scraped my skin.
He pulled me along, bringing me up the stone steps and led me through a large home. The rooms were all dark in taste, many blacks and greens littered each passing room giving off an eerie feeling.
He stopped at huge double doors and turned to me, "You…you must sh…show the Da… Dark Lord re…respect. Do…do not look hi…him in the eyes!"
I didn't answer him, but squared my shoulders and held my head high as the doors opened. Many people sat at a long dinner table that seemed to not have seen food on its top in some time.
Many of the people bowed their heads in front of them, staring at the brown glossy finish. The rat man quickly fell to the floor, bowing in an odd fashion.
He looked up at me with scared eyes, "Bow." He hissed.
A strange wave of courage went through me as I glared at the man and sneered. I looked up right at the snake like man that sat at the end of the table and gave him the same expression.
"I will not bow for someone I do not respect."
I watched as Voldemort stood up, and made his way to me. When he was before me, his long boney finger made its way under my chin.
"I would expect nothing less of you, Charlotte."
I was startled at the almost calmness to his voice as he held my jaw steadily.
He opened his mouth to speak again, but stopped abruptly when he saw the faint bruise on my cheek from where Mr. Malfoy slapped me.
"Who did this to you?"
I didn't answer at first, being confused on why he actually cared that I was hit.
He gripped my arms tightly, "Charlotte, tell me who hit you."
I stayed silent, but my eyes shifted to the blonde hair man whose eyes stayed focused on the table, then landed on Draco whose gazed locked onto my own. Voldemort seemed to follow my gaze, as his grip loosened just a bit, but his eyes blazed with anger.
"Draco, come here." He said icily.
Draco nodded his head, and stood up quickly, keeping his eyes trained to the floor. His footsteps were hard on the wood floors, but became muffled when his shoes hit the plush carpet.
He went down onto one knee, "My Lord."
"I am disappointed, Draco. She wasn't your mission."
His head snapped up, "My…my Lord?"
Voldemort pointed his wand at the boy in front of him, "Crucio."
Draco went wide-eyed, as his body spazzed on the ground. He bit him lip tightly, trying not to scream, but it was useless. Within in seconds his cry hit the walls.
I realized what was happening, as I quickly went down on my knees besides Draco. I gripped his hand tightly trying to sooth him through his pain.
"STOP IT! HE ISN'T THE ONE WHO HIT ME! STOP IT!" I screamed back at evil wizard.
Voldemort released Draco from the cruse, his body still shaking as he held my hand tighter. Voldemort's eyes seemed to soften as his gaze met mine.
"He isn't?"
"No, Draco would never hurt me."
Voldemort nodded his head at this, "My apologize young Mr. Malfoy."
Draco swayed as he tried to sit up and bend on one knee again, "An honest mistake, my Lord. I do not blame you."
"Charlotte, who was the one who hit you, then? Tell me, now."
I swallowed a lump in my throat, "I wish to not say. No one needs to be hurt because of me."
His red orbs blared into mine, before nodding his head, "I respect that," He turned to the table with all his followers, "But as of now, no one is to hurt Ms. Peverell. Am I clear?"
A chores of "Yes, my Lord," rang through the large room.
Voldemort held out his hand for me to take, and with a slight hesitation, I accepted his offer to help me off the ground.
"Draco, I appoint you Charlotte's protector from now on. Will you accept this?"
Draco nodded, "Of course, my Lord. It would be an honor."
"Leave us, all of you. I wish to speak with Charlotte and young Mr. Malfoy alone."
All of the death eaters left quickly, leaving me alone with Draco and Voldemort.
The evil man walked away to sit back in a chair by the fire. Draco stayed on the ground, and I stood. Draco kept giving me worried glances and mouth "bow."
"I do not want her to bow, Mr. Malfoy, she is my equal after all."
My brows knitted together in confusion, "And how am I your equal?"
"Well, Charlotte, you are my only living heir after all."
My mouth gasped open, as I met Draco's equally confused looks.
"Your heir?"
"Yes, Charlotte Bay. You are my daughter."
What do you think? Let me know!

What Now For The Academy?
In a season that has ended potless for the first team, it is worth venerating the achievements of Steve Bould and his team in first of all winning the Academy Premier League title (showing real first team aptitude by clinching it at our official title headquarters at White Hart Lane) and reaching the Final of the F.A. Youth Cup. It`s often noted that English football fans have a prurient desire to see graduates from the Youth Team gracing the senior side. A brief glance around the Grove on match days will see the legend 19 WILSHERE grace many a replica shirt. This is an extraordinary leap of faith for someone who has made two and a half Carling Cup appearances, as well as two substitute appearances apiece in the F.A. Cup, Premiership and 1 in the Champions League. (Also witness the difference in the supporters` treatment of Bendtner and Walcott, both of whom I consider peas in a pod in terms of the current stage of their development). It also speaks to the enormous amount of pressure hoisted on the shoulders of young English players.
The level of invective levelled at the manager in last Thursday`s Shareholders meeting would suggest the word on the street is that Arsenal fans are tired of living in a perpetual future. "The experiment" as it is often erroneously referred to has failed, the over reliance on youth too stark for us to challenge for the top honours. As Amos pointed out in an article last week, this is something of a mis-corroberation of facts as Wenger has only signed one first team player under 21 since 2006. The voluble criticisms from the gallows yell, "experience, experience" (probably the same people that have Wilshere`s name on the back of their shirts and deride the manager for picking Eboue over Vela and blame Gallas for global warming), yet apparently we don`t want "geriatrics" with immense experience either. The manager himself has ominously told us he is looking for players who "aren`t inexperienced, we already have enough of those." In a climate where our supporters are apparently now unwilling to continue to invest in a future that lies at the end of a hypothetical rainbow, one has to ask where this leaves Steve Bould and the under 18s? I`ve no doubt that thousands will file into our ground on Friday evening to watch the First Leg of the Youth Cup Final as we take on Liverpool. I will also bet you my left testicle right here and now, that I will hear at least one comment along the lines of, "well player x who I am watching for the first time ever at youth level is much better than that geriatric Silvestre/ Eboue/ Bendtner." So the question of who will come through from this current all dominating crop is slightly compromised by the confused rantings of our own beleaguered concerns of our own supporters.
The last time Arsenal had a Youth Side of comparative success was at the turn of the Century, when the team of 2001 absolutely mauled Blackburn 5-0 in the F.A. Youth Cup Final First Leg at Highbury. Before drawing 1-1 at Ewood Park in the second leg. The core of that side has eked out an existence in the Premiership; Jermaine Pennant, Jerome Thomas, Steven Sidwell, David Bentley, Justin Hoyte and Jeremie Aliadiere (Premiership footballers for the next few days at least), James Harper had two seasons in the top flight with Reading, as did Graham Stack- albeit as a reserve keeper and Rhys Weston has drifted around league football ever since. The captain of that side, Ben Chorley, had brief spells at Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons before drifting off the radar. As Youth Sides go, that represents a good crop indeed. However, the key point remains that none were deemed good enough to play for Arsenal. Whilst we have made an incredibly good currency out of raiding the products of the globe`s finest Academy products and "ripping and burning" them into our own file marked "Arsenal Youth Products." However, players to earn the strictly 100% organic label on the supermarket shelf have been in short supply. Ashley Cole being the only Arsenal youth product of the 21st Century who has earned himself a 1-11 squad number. You can justifiably argue that modern, freewheeling, Champions League chasing Arsenal`s standards are higher, hence the lack of real emergence from the ranks. But does that not mean our Academy is not matching our status as a club? Are any of the Big 4s academies mining and cultivating footballing gold? Liverpool have reared no one of significance since Gerrard and Carragher who are both nudging 30, Chelsea don`t have any youth project to speak of having harvested nobody since John Terry. United have some squad members in their mid 20s from the academy in O`Shea and Fletcher whilst the likes of Welbeck remain unproven.
So who from the current Arsenal crop will make it? It is interesting to note that, in true Wenger style, many members of this year`s Youth side have played in a multitude of positions. Emmanuel Frimpong, like his namesake Eboue, has been tasked with the full back and wide midfield positions. Jay Emmanuel Thomas, the current captain, has played at full back, central midfield and in the wide positions; Rhys Murphy can play in midfield or upfront. The jewel in the crown is considered to be Jack Wilshere, who was a persistent fixture in the first team eighteen until the New Year, when a loss of form and concern over the premature pressure placed on his shoulders saw him quietly ushered away from the spotlight. Wilshere is a left footed player weaving his magic on the right, though Arsene Wenger and Steve Bould see his future in a central supporting striker role. Yet the supporting striker position is one that is traditionally well stocked under the current manager; Merson, Overmars, Bergkamp, Pires, Ljungberg, Hleb, van Persie, Arshavin, Kanu, - the list is endless. So will Wilshere realistically get the chance to flourish? Particularly in a climate where people are apparently entitled to make curt and crude remarks to the manager in the absence of instant success. In the late 80s Arsenal forged a team from their youth set up with the likes of Thomas, Rocastle, Merson and Adams. Nobody needs reminding of how Manchester United`s current standing was earned back in the early 90s. Isn`t it about time Arsenal produced at least one more gem from its ranks? In the modern game has the importance of a quality academy really diminished or has it just been neglected amidst the rainbow chasing? Arsenal`s current under 18 side looks set to be very decorated, but so too was the 2000-01side and not one of them were considered precious enough diamonds to sculpt into pricely gems. Many of us will crowd into the Emirates on Friday night to watch these young charges, but contemporary football shows us it is likely none of them will ever grace the stadium for regular top flight football. If it`s because they`re not good enough we should perhaps ask questions of an academy system that has waited nearly a decade to unearth a genuine first team player (though Gibbs` emergence might just break that glass ceiling). If they are good enough, the question lingers, are we as fans patient enough to let them develop. It would appear not.LD.

The 10-day Telegraph Ways With Words Festival provided some memorable moments . . .
HARRY HILL'S question time . . .
Comedian Harry Hill was on sparkling, zany form with instant answers to the audience:
Question: "How did you get your bald patch?" he was asked.
Answer: "It's a bit more than a patch . . . I realised it was taking longer and longer to wash my face. I'm getting through three flannels a day now."
Q: "What will be on your epitaph?"
A: "See other side for details."
Q: "Quavers or twiglets?"
A: "Why, are you planning a surprise party for me?"
Q: "Who makes you laugh?"
A: "Lots of promising young comedians come up to me and say - Harry, what advice do you have for my career? And I tell them to do what I do and get up a read a book for two hours. And the name of the book I read is the Holy Bible. It doesn't stop them - but it slows them down."
SHIRLEY WILLIAMS and the cream tea . . .
Baroness Williams, the former Labour Cabinet minister and Adviser on Nuclear Proliferation to Prime Minister Gordon Brown, had a busy Friday at Dartington Hall. She was debating nuclear policy with David Aaronovitch and later appearing in the Telegraph's Question Time debate. Sandwiched in-between was an event in the gardens.
"It's called Shirley Williams, Cream tea and nuclear disarmament. I suppose if you are going to swallow Trident it might as well be with a cream tea," she joked.
DARTINGTON'S crowds . . .
As well as being friendly and interested, the Ways With Words crowds could hold their own when it came to using the roving microphones. When Food writer Tracey Lawson was extolling the joys of the Italian village of Campodimele, where so many people live to be more than 100, a woman asked: "How do you know for certain they are not just weathered 50-year-olds?"
Fellow food writer Elizabeth Luard was later quizzed by one woman on whether there were other words for a 'bakestone'. "In Wales, they call them a planc," Luard said.
"That's what we call the men," the woman shot back.
HOWARD MARKS and the knowledgeable fans . . .
Howard Marks, who was played by Rhys Ifans in the film about his drug-smuggling life called Mr Nice, gave an entertaining late session in the Great Hall. Afterwards, as he signed copies of his new novel Sympathy With The Devil in the Waterstones Tent, a visitor started talking about the drug-growing scene in Canada. "Let's just say we called it Quebecistan," he told Hughes.
CELIA WALDEN'S on why it's curtains for a celebrity life . . .
Celia Walden's book Babysitting George was an account of her time looking after former Manchester United player George Best at a time when his alcoholism was rampant. She was asked by a member of the audience about George's mother. Walden replied: "George's mother only became an alcoholic after George became famous. She'd been teetotal before but it was a quick descent into alcoholism. When he used to go back to see her in Belfast, she told him she always used to feel a slight bit of a relief when he left. She said to him 'We can put the blinds back up now, George'. That was quite sad."
PETER SNOW and his historical romp . . .
Former election night TV wizard Peter Snow gave a fascinating talk on Wellington's campaign in the years leading up to Waterloo. His talk was full of military detail, psychological observation and gossip from two centuries past. Did you know, Snow asked, that Wellington was made Ambassador of Paris when he was quite the ladies' man? Wellington even took a mistress who had previously filled that role for Napoleon. "The Duke was by far the more vigorous," the French actress Mlle George wrote in her diaries. Who said the French have all the passion?
ANNE WAREHAM'S storm in a tea cup . . .
Anne Wareham, the Bad Tempered Gardener, said that some people occasionally get upset because they do not serve tea and cake at her Garden, Veddw House, on the Welsh border near Monmouth. Wareham joked: "I didn't get to this age to wear a pinny or be a waitress."
Answering a 100-year-old insult . . .
Ezra Pound once insulted fellow poet Edward Thomas by saying: "He was a mild man with no vinegar in his veins". But as Thomas's biographer Matthew Hollis explained at Dartington, he showed great courage in enlisting to fight in the First World War, where he was killed at Arras in 1917.
The Hitler diary . . .
James Naughtie, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Today programme talked about his most memorable interview - a lunch with Lady Diana Mosley in her Paris home, not long before her death in 2003. He asked her what she would say if Adolf Hitler walked into the room (she had married fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley in Josef Goebbels's home, with Hitler as guest of honour). Naughtie said he was shocked to hear her tell him: "I should say, 'How very nice to see you'.
ARABELLA WEIR bashes Richard . . .
Richard Madeley, he of Richard and Judy, came in for a double whammy at Arabella Weir's talk. She claimed he patronised her on his This Morning talk show and the Fast Show comedian didn't hold back in how she thought of him. "He's a "top of the milk, Grade A w-----." A woman in the audience stuck her hand up and said: "I was on his show once to talk about a genetic skin condition. Can I say that I totally agree with you."
MR BENN takes us to the dentist . .
Tony Benn, who famously renounced his father's peerage, was asked what he thought of the House of Lords now. "Imagine if you went to the dentist and he was drilling your teeth and said: 'I'm not a dentist myself but my father was.'"
Benn also said that he had written almost 15 million words of his diary notes. "It gets it off your chest," he joked, "and saved my wife a lot of pillow talk."
MARGARET DRABBLE and the modernists . . .
Talking about her time at Cambridge University, where she got "a very good degree" in literature, Margaret Drabble said: "At Cambridge we only read the dead." She also recalled how at a recent interview the photographer took a snap of her Jan Van Eyk puzzle, which had only the outer frame completed. She laughed as she told the audience that the snapper asked her: "Couldn't you finish it a bit more?"
STELLA RIMINGTON and the Octopussy complex . . .
Dame Stella Rimington, the first female head of MI5, confessed to Ways With Words that she would rather have been a Bond girl. Asked which Bond villain she would like to be, Dame Stella admitted: "I would rather not be a villain - I would rather be Octopussy." Octopussy was the exotic beauty played by Swedish model Maud Adams in 1983.
MELVYN BRAGG'S book token of thanks . . .
Melvyn Bragg was presented by the Telegraph with a two-volume first edition copy of Wordsworth's poems to honour Bragg's service to furthering ideas and his support for 20 years of the Ways With Words book festival. Bragg was visibly moved.

Lancers Sweep Rival Bethel
Grace's baseball team all but assured itself a place in the Crossroads League Tournament with a 7-5, 8-5 sweep of Bethel at Miller Field on Thursday.
The Lancers (12-25; 11-18 CL) moved 2.5 games clear of the Pilots (11-32; 9-21 CL) for the eighth spot in the CL standings with just four games remaining in the regular season. The top eight teams in the league advance to the postseason tourney.
The Lancers got on the scoreboard quickly in the opening game, loading the bases and scoring two runs. CJ Swartz singled in Aaron Christenberry, and Brook Vosler's sacrifice fly allowed Jacob Bloom to slide across home plate.
Grace added two more runs in the second off a solo home run by Frank Rocchio and an RBI double by Bloom.
After both teams scored a run in the third, Grace had a 5-1 lead entering the fifth. The Pilots battled back to tie the game at 5-5 with a four-run spurt.
Grace won the game in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out rally. After the Lancers' first two batters were retired, Tyler Weber and Christenberry hit back-to-back singles. Bloom was walked to load the bases, and Joey Hickerson delivered a two-run single to put Grace ahead for good.
Dellos Schabel took care of the rest on the mound, picking up his third save of the season.
Bloom finished 2-for-2 from the plate, and Christenberry was 2-for-3. Hickerson and Swartz were 2-for-4.
In the second game, Bethel scored three runs over the first two innings to take an early lead. But Grace countered with four runs in the third to move ahead. Christenberry hit an RBI single, and Hickerson followed up two batters later with a three-run home run over the centerfield fence.
Grace's defense came up big in the top of the fifth, eliminating a bases-loaded threat with a double play from Paul Blankley, Vosler and Steven Hovermale. In the bottom of the fifth, Christenberry singled in Blankley to increase the Lancers' lead to 5-3.
The Pilots knotted the game in the sixth inning, scoring two runs with two outs against them. The Lancers had the answer, however, with three runs on five hits. With a runner on third, head coach Bill Barr called for a squeeze bunt. Blankley laid down the bunt to plate Logan Grigsby for the go-ahead run. Vosler and Christenberry then provided insurance runs with RBI singles.
Jason Stevens completed the game from the mound for Grace, picking up the save. Christenberry finished 3-for-4 with three runs driven in, and Vosler was 2-for-2. Bloom notched two hits and had a career-high three stolen bases.
The Lancers conclude the regular season with a series against Huntington. Grace hosts Huntington on Saturday 1 p.m. for Senior Day and will travel to the Foresters on Tuesday.

Like I mentioned in my Introduction to this series last week, I think the instructor we had in Snowboard School was one of the best on the slopes. The interesting thing to me was that he knew it and wasn't shy about "tooting his own horn." Many people are afraid of coming off as arrogant, so they wouldn't think of extolling their own virtues to prospective or current students. And then there are those who use their own personal accomplishments to compensate for continued growth and excellence in their field. Neither of these are a helpful attitude for building a successful studio.
Here's something that hit me a while back: not only can you be really, really good in your field and still not know the answer to the things your students and/or their parents ask you, having an attitude of still learning and developing expertise in your field is one of the marks of someone who is really, really good. Being a pro involves acknowledging the extent of your own expertise and also taking advantage of opportunities to continue learning and advancing.
Here are three specific tips for how to Be a Pro:
1. Know Your Subject – nothing can take the place of real knowledge. True confidence is not something that can be fabricated; it is the result of intentional study and investment in your field. If you are teaching general music or an instrument, take time to learn as much as possible about music theory and history. Study various educational philosophies and teaching methods. Be able to share stories about different composers. And when you are whole-heartedly investing your time and energy to educate yourself, you will be confident enough to admit when you don't know information or have an answer for something. For musicians, knowing their subject usually also involves being skilled on an instrument. The better you play, the better your students will play. Play often and learn new repertoire (even if it's the repertoire your advanced students are working on!) so that you can address potential problem areas, share practice tips, and…commiserate with your students about the woes of tackling and overcoming difficulties. 🙂
2. Gain Experience – be open to lots of different avenues for teaching, performing, and being involved in the music community. Our snowboard instructor began his teaching on the east coast, then migrated west and taught at multiple ski resorts. Each place brought him into contact with new people and helped him gain valuable insights into what was effective teaching-wise on a broad scale. On the east coast, the beginner class was only an hour and a half; in the mountains of Colorado the beginner class is an all-day affair. If he was able to turn out successful snowboarders in an hour and a half, you better believe he had some sure-fire tips for quickly improving your skill level on the board! In the same way, a teacher who incorporates group classes, private lessons, duo sessions, distance learning, special workshops, mentoring relationships, and more will probably become more of a pro than the one who restricts himself to only one mode of teaching. Every avenue provides the impetus to communicate more clearly, interact on new levels, and fine-tune teaching skills to meet the needs of many types of students.
3. Market Yourself as a Professional – don't undersell yourself. Whether it's via a personal website, in conversations with new acquaintances or friends, or in gatherings with other professionals, the way you carry yourself will dictate how others treat you. If you love what you do and believe that the work you are doing is meaningful, communicate that with both body language and the words you use. It's not mere semantics to answer an inquiry as to what you do as "I run a music studio" instead of "I'm a piano teacher." If you are serious about the importance of your teaching, be convincing! You should want every person you meet to leave their conversation with you with a greater appreciation for the impact of music on culture, its important role in the lives of people, and an interest in becoming more involved on a personal level (i.e. they should want to do whatever it takes to become a part of your studio!). Idealistic? Probably, but that's my preferred perspective on life. 🙂
In essence, being a pro puts you in a position to inspire others to take up what you're teaching for themselves. Does it work? Well, it may not be a no-fail guarantee, but I do know that our snowboard pro converted me to snowboarding for life!

In association with media analysis firm Editorial Intelligence
POLITICS: Gordon Brown must now play on the fear-factor of voters and call a general election, writes Daniel Finkelstein in The Times. The suggestion that Brown should wait until he has "steered" the economy out of a crisis is dead wrong. In the Daily Mail, Peter Oborne believes the fall of David Ross, a man closely linked with the Tories, is a moment of great danger for David Cameron and George Osborne. The Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire believes dole queues stretching around the block have the destructive power to dynamite a prime minister who turned getting Britain back to work into a personal mission. Tory views that the Government's fiscal injection will fail to dampen the recession are a respectable economic argument, former Treasury adviser Gavyn Davies argues in The Guardian.
ECONOMY: The Guardian's Simon Jenkins suggests his own solution to the economic crisis - shower people with cash and make them use it. The Independent's Hamish McRae believes both parties are bound to borrow on a scale that will be greater than at any stage since 1947 and both will be forced into savage cuts in public spending. In the Daily Telegraph, Jeff Randall asks how will we know when the downward plunge in asset values has ended, and the turn is about to occur? After the crises in credit and capital, Ian King in The Times believes a downturn in world trade looks likely to be the next problem to hit. Lynda Gratton, professor at the London Business School, says in the Financial Times that the 2008-2009 recession will be seen in hindsight to have had important economic consequences; a return to basics, a rebalancing of the spending excesses of the past ahead of the next round of excess.
US POLITICS: In The Times, Bronwen Maddox notes how one of the last remaining things George Bush can actually do is pardon, end or cut short a criminal sentence. Speculation is growing that the outgoing president might issue a blanket pardon to CIA officials who may have ordered torture or carried it out. In the Financial Times, Michael Fullilove, of the Lowy Institute in Sydney, says the dominant metaphor in Washington in talks about president-elect Obama's foreign policy is baseball. But baseball is Bush's game, not Mr Obama's. The latter should take his lead from cricket. Uproar on the left over Obama's policy proposals and personnel appointments is premature, Jonathan Freedland argues in The Guardian.

Four Things to Remember When Attending the Sinulog
By Lovely Philippines
Filed under Festivals
The Sinulog is a time when Cebuano's flock the street to venerate that Child Jesus or the Santo Nino. The mood of the festivities ranged from the solemn to the raucous as Cebuano's from all over the province and tourists from all over the world partake in the celebration. From the solemn procession, to beauty pageants, to countless of households partying and cooking, to the Grand Procession, everyone is all smiles and immersed in the fever of Pit Senyor!
As such, it is very easy to forget that similar to other times, one should take care of one's self and belongings.
1. Take care of your things.
With all the festivities going on, and all the attractions to see, it is easy to become complacent. Remember that with the huge crowd also comes the thieves, snatchers and pickpockets. This is true, especially during the Grand Parade where thousands of people line the parade route and during the Solemn Procession where the devotees hold up their statuettes of the Child Jesus and dance to the beats. A lot of mobile phones, wallets, jewelry and other valuable stuff have been lost during the Sinulog celebrations. Some had fallen unnoticed to the ground, while the majority has been taken by swift hands.
Keep everything in your pockets. If you have shorts that have zippers on its pockets, all the better. If you do not, then consider wearing a belt bag with a sturdy strap, so that you could still keep your things safe while watching the parade.
Sling bags are quite a no-no. For some people, they wear a sling bag around their necks and put their money and mobile phones in it. That is quite dangerous as a sling bag could easily be snatched away from your neck, sometimes leaving rope burns and bruises on it.
For cameras, make sure that you have your ready camera bag that you can put your camera in just in case you become too tired to take pictures. Do not sling your camera over your neck.
2. Leave the unnecessary stuff at home.
While the Grand Parade is an opportune time to see and be seen, resist the temptation to deck yourself with jewelry. It is best to, just leave all the gold and silver necklaces, rings and bracelets at home. Besides, the Sinulog has a tribal feel to it, so wooden and native accessories are all the rage. If you feel the need to accessorize, you can probably buy a cute wooden trinket on your way to the parade grounds for less than P50.
If you are traveling with companions, consider leaving your mobile phone at home. If you cannot part with your mobile phone, consider carrying an older model such as a Nokia 5110 or an old Alcatel model rather than your eye catching iPhones or Nokia N-series phone.
Do bring enough money for the festivities, though. Remember that the Sinulog is one festivity after another, and it is easily seen as one party after another. Bring money for taxi fare, jeepney fare, food and drinks.
3. Dress comfortably.
For most people, the Sinulog is an all day event. The Grand Parade itself, starts early in the morning and finishes in the early evening. Then it goes well into the night as Cebuano's party all around Cebu into the morning. So dress comfortably.
Comfy footwear is essential. Wear something light on your feet, preferably open toed sandals and old shoes. Expect to do a lot of walking for the Sinulog festivities as most routes are closed to traffic. You do not want sore feet and cracked heels to dampen the festivities, do you?
Wear light clothing. You would be under the cruel heat of the sun for most of the day, so wear clothes that breath. A white tee shirt, colorful shorts or baggy saris are a good choice. Try to eschew skinny jeans and silk uppers.
Hats and sunglasses are your friends. They do not only complete the Sinulog look, but they also provide protection from the heat of the sun.
You need to protect yourself from the sun. To do this, keep these things in mind:
- Keep hydrated. Drink lots of water and do bring a bottle of mineral water with you at all times.
- Wear sunscreen. You will be under the sun for a good part of the day, it would make perfect sense to keep out its UV rays by wearing sunscreen.
- Bring your own shade. An umbrella might put a crimp on your cool factor, but you will thank yourself for it when the sun gets extremely hot.
- Look for "exit†places. If the heat becomes unbearable, be sure to have an "exit†strategy in place. It could be a fast food joint that offers blissful air conditioning,, or an outdoor cafe that serves frozen fraps. Make sure that your body gets to cool down when you need it.

2-vehicle crash in Tuscola County
Published 8:00 pm, Tuesday, June 1, 2010
By STACY LANGLEY
Tribune Staff Writer
WISNER TOWNSHIP — Tuscola County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a two-vehicle crash along M-25 at 1:46 p.m. Sunday.
According to Undersheriff Glen Skrent of the Tuscola County Sheriff's Office, dispatchers from Tuscola County Central Dispatch received a report of a vehicle being driven in an erratic manner headed westbound on M-25.
"Shortly after, a two-car crash occurred near Vassar Road," said Skrent in a press release to the Tribune.
Investigators believe the westbound vehicle, driven by Christopher Rice, 20, of Saginaw, struck an eastbound vehicle driven by Robin Austin, 46, of Kawkawlin.
Three other family members in the Austin vehicle included a 52-year-old man along with a 12- and 13-year-old.
Everyone involved in the crash sustained injuries. Two people were flown by helicopter to Saginaw while others injured Sunday were transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
The sheriff's office was assisted at the scene by MMR, ACW ambulance, FlightCare, Fairgrove Fire Department and Unionville Fire Department.
Skrent reports alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the crash.

Saint Joan continually professed counsel and protection from three voices guiding her in the mission to free her country from occupation: Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Margaret, sometimes called Marina. Although not often mentioned, Joan also reported being visited by Saint Gabriel.
Archangel Michael was the first to appear to young Joan when she was in her thirteenth year. He told Joan that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret would soon follow. She was to obey their instruction. Whereas Archangel Michael was brilliant and bold, her descriptions of Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret were of gentle comforters.
The female saints guided her through the next four years of her childhood, instructing her on proper ways to govern herself. They primed her, instilling virtues she would need for a greater mission, which she did not fully comprehend at the time.
When Joan turned seventeen, the guidance from her voices changed. Saint Michael visited more often, outlining a plan which involved the young girl liberating her country. Joan's response showed her attempt to make sense of what she was being told to do: "And I answered the Voice that I was a poor girl who knew nothing of riding and warfare." In Her Own Words, p. 7. Her response is not unlike the Mother Mary's logical conclusion when she was told she was to be with child: "How can this be, as I know not a man." Joan eventually came to this understanding: "Since God had commanded me to go, I must do it. And since God had commanded it, had I had a hundred fathers and a hundred mothers, and had I been a king's daughter, I would have gone." In Her Own Words, p. 11
Saint Michael, Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret had won her devotion and her confidence. It was in them she put her complete faith, moving always in the direction they led. Her guardians not only provided counsel, but forewarned of mishaps, personal injury and eventually her own capture and death.
It's no surprise these three guardians became Joan's patron saints. She shared many similarities with Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret was an ever-present visual reminder to young Joan in the chapel at Domremy. It was here, in her hometown that Joan prayed before the statue of Saint Margaret, which still stands to this day. Like Joan of Arc, both female saints before her were similarly persecuted for refusing to deny their faith and were virgin martyrs. Although Joan denied her faith when brought before the stake and threatened with being burned alive, she recanted, citing that what she said she said for fear of the fire.
The connection to Saint Michael is just as obvious. He has been around since the time of the Old Testament in which he was known for interceding for the human race. Archangel Michael, whose name means "One who is like God," was the protector of France, and Joan certainly would have known this. Stories about him, which Joan would have heard, figure him predominantly as champion and leader of faithful angels in their struggle against evil.
There are two feast days honoring Saint Michael: September 29, which honors the dedication of the Church of St. Michael in Rome during the sixth century, and May 8, which commemorates the day of his apparition in Italy. Interestingly, on May 8, 1429, after only three days of her first battle, Joan of Arc realized her first military victory by liberating the city of Orléans from a successful seven month siege by the English. Saint Michael's intercession would continue as her military campaign progressed.

With Gravity and Tailwinds
My aunt who lives in Marquette emailed yesterday to say Team Road Kill will start the 26-mile trek from the River Park Sports Complex on Hawley Street north along Co. Road 550 toward Big Bay. We'll hit the pavement shortly after 8 a.m., just two minutes behind the mayor's team. I still don't know whether Big Bay is a town or a body of water or both, but I reluctantly agreed some foggy-headed time ago (February? March?) to run with Team Road Kill--a five-person co-ed group made up of my brother, dad, aunt, and cousin. It only recently dawned on me that being a member of the team also meant running five miles. Five miles in the same day.
I haven't been to Marquette since 1992, and I've never visited Big Bay. Thanks to Google Street View and some of my dad's handiwork running an elevations report, I'm starting to have some sense of Co. Road 550, its slopes and grades, shoulders and hazards. When there was discussion among the team earlier in the month about who gets the steepest hills, who gets the two-mile stretch, who gets the start gun fanfare of Leg One, and who gets the champagne and confetti glory at the finish line, I laid low, kept to myself. Waited. This tactic worked brilliantly. Everyone else on the team claimed these in turn: two-miler, hills, finish, start. This left me with the peaceful (if banal) UP spring jog that is Leg Two.
My rigorous preparation for the relay has been equal parts of watching Power 90X infomercials, clicking through segment after segment of (is it uphill or isn't it?) Co. Road 550 on Google Street View, and trying to determine, based on the elevation report my dad sent, which miles will be mine. You can see below how I've tried to highlight my five miles, but is also happens--wishfulness error?--to be more down-sloping than I could have hoped for.
That email from my aunt (no, not the one insisting that I wear a size L t-shirt, rather than the 2XL I asked for; yesterday's email) included a hopeful weather forecast: high 80F, cool start near 50F, light winds from the south. Between the wind and the down slopes, here's hoping I don't have to do much running other than lightly lifting each foot in slow alternation until it's finished.Posted by Derek Mueller at May 17, 2012 2:05 PM to Autoludography

They do not provided sufficient training, a poster placed somewhere maybe. I am not quite sure what all the OSHA standards are so I couldn't say if they are or or are not in compliance but there is no training or notification of anyone to call.

This was, by far, one of the worst place I have ever worked. The faculty, staff, and leadership were so focused on the wrong things it made wanting to go to work a chore. The principal was concerned with money and money only.

(CBS NEWS) - A grieving family has a warning for other families after the sudden death of a model and single mother. This week, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office confirmed 34-year-old Katie May's death after a stroke in February was caused by an injury at a chiropractor's office.
Katie May was the self-proclaimed "queen of Snapchat" and had more than two million followers on Instagram.
While her family is trying to move forward, they also want to warn others about went wrong, reports CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller.
Days before the 34-year-old died in February, she posted on Twitter that she'd pinched a nerve in her neck at a photoshoot and was going to visit a chiropractor. Friends said she became sick a few hours after her appointment and was taken to the emergency room. She was pronounced brain dead the next day and taken off life support.
"This is actually more common than people think -- that people get over-adjusted and there's a tear and it causes a stroke and death," said Ronald Richards, Katie May estate's lawyer.
"You always feel, think like, 'This won't happen to my family, this sort of thing won't happen to my family,' but it did," a tearful Mitchell said.

Make sure that the session has /usr/X11R6/bin in the PATH environment variable. At the moment, I am using /etc/login.conf for this.

Again, "center of the universe" has nothing to do with it.
My comment was a subtly (too subtle) humorous remark aimed at the trouble that Java causes in IT shops. It causes a lot of it. Mostly due to programming errors I believe.
This whole idea of 'transportability' is completely the wrong way to go about designing anything.
Use the features of the tools you are using.
The thought that anything other than a really small app can easily be made to run on another database or moving the app from Java to .Net or whatever, just create more work and sub-par applications.

Green Travel Tips
Do you leave small footprints while you travel? More and more hotels are stepping up and making the protection of the environment a priority for travelers.
The California Green Lodging Program provides the dirty on the hotels industry:
• Average-sized hotels purchase more products in one week than 100 families do in a year.
• Waste generation can be as high as 30 pounds per room per day.
• Hospitality industry spends $3.7 billion a year on energy. Electricity use accounts for 60-70 percent of the utility costs of a typical hotel.
• Two percent of California's food waste comes from the hotel and lodging industry (112,000 tons per year).
• Typical hotels use 218 gallons of water per day per occupied room.
Whether you travel for business or pleasure, here's some tips for greening up your travel from Green Hotels.
Before you leave home:
• Turn water heater to "Vacation" or lowest setting.
• Turn off AC/heat or adjust the thermostat to protect plants, etc.
• Turn water off at outside connection (to prevent flooding should a pipe break while you're gone). When you return, turn on the water slowly and check for problems.
• Appliances, such as TVs and cable converter boxes, should be unplugged because they can draw or "leak" as much as 40 watts per hour even when they're off.
• Turn icemaker off (lift wire) to prevent flooding should it break while you're away.
• Lower the temperature of waterbed heaters at least ten degrees. Stop your newspaper. You may be able to donate it to a school.
• Purchase electronic-tickets for airline travel whenever possible. Less waste. If paper tickets are lost, they may cost $75-100 to have replaced.
While you are traveling:
• Enjoy walking tours.
• Use public transportation when available.
• Use the hotel van instead of renting a car.
• Use the bus or local transit system.
• Share taxis. Less pollution, and you can leave the driving to others.
• If you're driving, turn your motor off when idling. Encourage tour/bus drivers to turn the motor off when idling.
Hotel Stays:
• Participate in hotel linen programs, or let the hotel know that it's not necessary to change your sheets and towels every day.
• To keep track of which towel belongs to which family member, pack a handful of safety pins and small colored beads. Attach a pin and bead to each towel, using a designated color for each family member. Remove the pins before checkout.
• Reduce the amount of water used for bathing or showering. When you leave your hotel room, turn off the AC/heat, lights, TV and radio. Close the drapes.
• Participate in hotel recycling programs by placing recyclables in appropriate bins.
• Carry a bag with you to carry dirty laundry home.
• Leave little bottles of amenities in the guestroom if unopened.
• Pack a permanent marker and write each person's name on the cups in the hotel bathroom.
• Keep bar soap wrappers and take used bars of soap home.
• Let hotel management know, by speaking directly to management or writing them a note, that you want them to conserve and that you want to participate.
• Patronize hotels, airlines, tour operators who support "greening" programs.
• Instead of leaving bathroom lights (and fans) on all night, pack nightlights for hotel stays.
• If the hotel provides complimentary newspapers, pass yours on to someone else, or leave it in the lobby for another reader. Ask the hotel to see that it's recycled.
• Be sure to turn off exercise equipment, sauna, whirlpool, Jacuzzi or tennis court lights when you're through.
• Check out of the hotel via the hotel's electronic program available on the TV in some hotels. You can view your bill, approve it, and help reduce paperwork.

text: Classical Numismatic Group offers pair of Zodiac bronzes from Egypt Pieces are among massive output during eighth year of Antoninus Pius reign By Jeff Starck , Coin World Published : 06/24/15 Print Text Size A A A bronze drachm of Roman Egypt is part of a Zodiac series during the eighth year of the reign of Antoninus Pius. This example shows Mars in Aries. Images courtesy of Classical Numismatic Group. Another bronze drachm from a Zodiac series of Roman Egypt coins shows Selene (the moon) in Cancer. Images courtesy of Classical Numismatic Group. A pair of Zodiac bronze coins issued during the eighth year of Antoninus Pius' reign highlight Classical Numismatic Group's electronic auction No. 354. The sale, featuring 839 lots of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins, closes on July 1 beginning at 10 A.M. EDT. The Roman Egypt Zodiac drachms are among popular issues of Roman Provincial coins. Both drachms offerd in the sale were issued in Alexandria circa A.D. 144 to 145, a period when there was an "immense output" of Alexandria's coins, according to the firm. The Zodiac drachms, mythological types, are among a host of issues that appeared in that year. "One explanation for this activity centers on the celebration of the renewal of the Great Sothic cycle, the point when the star Sothis (Sirius) rises on the same point on the horizon as the sun," the catalog reports. "This cycle of 1461 years began early in the reign of Pius in A.D. 139, and apparently prompted a renewal in the ancient Egyptian religion, while the coin types also stressed the connections to the Greco-Roman Pantheon." Antoninus Pius appears on the obverse of both examples in the sale. The first example shows on its reverse Mars in Aries, with a ram leaping right. The coin is Fine, according to the firm, with a brown patina. The other highlighted coin shows Selene (Moon) in Cancer. A draped bust of Selene faces right, with a crescent moon below that, underneath which appears a crab. This example is also Fine, but has brown and green patina, and has some scratches from cleaning. Both coins are estimated to realize $150 U.S. This auction includes coins from the BCD Collection, offering coins from Thessaly and the Peleponnesos. Also available in the Greek section is an array of Judaean issues in silver and bronze. Additionally, Byzantine collectors may browse further selections from the Prue Morgan Fitts Collection.

Perth Glory defender Andy Todd is not yet ready for action this season according to coach Dave Mitchell.
The 35-year old former Derby County and Blackburn Rovers man has been sidelined by a knee injury for the opening three A-League games for the league leaders.
Mitchell says Todd, last season's Player of the Year at the Glory, will not be rushed into the side to take on Melbourne Heart this Sunday even with another centre-half, Jamie Harnwell, almost certain to miss.
"Andy (Todd) can play but he's probably not quite ready yet," Mitchell said.
"It's one of them, that probably needs another week's training under his belt. We'll see how the week goes, how it pans out.
"(But) we'll have a look at Mitch (Josh Mitchell) in there and Coyne.
| "I think Jamie Harnwell's been fantastic in the centre of defence as has Jamie (Coyne).
"The thing with Jamie Harnwell is his experience and he talks well, he's an organiser ... so you lose a little bit of experience.
"(But) Josh I'm sure, if he comes in will do a good job as well."

I too, agree with Dan: if the data uses anything other than Latin1, it should be tagged as such.. We need to force people to start using tags, one way or another, and this seems a reasonable line to draw. I would also like to note (and I am sure everyone agrees), that this is all a temporary solution. Things like: >A web site with versions of the same files in different encodings >(e.g., SJIS, EUC and JIS) or languages (e.g., English and Japanese) could >create separately rooted trees with the equivalent files in each tree. >The top page could say click here for SJIS/EUC/JIS or English/Japanese. are obviously a poor solution at best. Larry's "conversion server" idea is obviously preferrable. >Ken>I want to add one more thing about this issue. We could have the document >Ken>which uses multiple charset in future. We must define the way to label >Ken>such a document. >Ken>It can be like ... >Ken> Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO2022-JP", charset="ISO8859-6" >Ken>Is this OK? As Dan noted, you cannot do it this way. SGML (even if you play with the declaration) *cannot* handle it. The <charset> tag idea is also not a winner... Forcing charset= usage will break some clients (perhaps all), but given the distribution channels in Japan where everyone gets such clients (magazines, Nifty, NTT), updating should not be hard. It will certainly be easier than supporting broken software for years to come....Received on Tuesday, 10 January 1995 05:33:50 UTC
