Madonna roster includes only four seniors
By RALPH COX
For The Times Leader
WEIRTON — After returning Madonna football to the playoffs for the first time since 2013, Darin Hicks hopes the culture of playoff football is once again something that is expected at the small Catholic school on Weirton Heights.
Hicks has nine lettermen but only four seniors returning from the 8-3 Blue Dons of 2017. However, there are two Madonna lettermen that played huge roles in the playoff season that are no longer wearing the blue and silver after transferring to Weir High. They are Donovan Kirby and Rob Valenti.
Kirby was the leading rusher in West Virginia with 2,554 yards gained, while Valenti did a lot of the blocking for him at.
They will obviously be missed, but Hicks said, "We are keeping our focus on the people that are here. We wish them well, but we are committed to the 25-30 boys here. We're ready to move forward into the 2018 season.
"We are focusing the on positives. We had another great offseason program, and we're focusing on how much better the players have gotten in the offseason. There are increases in strength, size and speed. We want to stay with the positive parts and stay away from negative people."
The Blue Dons finished eighth in the state Class A ranks last year with an 8-2 regular season record. They rolled to victories in the first eight games before suffering losses in the final two games. They still earned home field advantage for the first playoff game, a 30-20 loss to Sherman.
"We had 11 seniors off that team that graduated," said Hicks, who is beginning his third year as the Blue Don head coach. "They were really good seniors, good leaders, guys that worked hard to get this program on solid ground. We have replaced them with 11 freshmen, so we have gone from a big senior class to being very young. That's not a bad thing.
"We have 11 very capable, talented freshmen who are committed to this program and the future of Madonna football. Most have come from our Junior Don program and were in our system at either St. Paul or St. Joseph middle schools. They have sacrificed a lot of free time to make themselves better. They all understand what we expect from them and what we want the Madonna program to be. All are also good citizens and good students. We're happy with where we are headed."
Hicks is counting on the 10 lettermen to be a good nucleus for 2018.
"We were fortunate last year to have about half of our games where we were able to play our entire roster," Hicks said. "Normally, you don't get that type of quality time for the underclass guys. That is something that will help us moving forward."
Gavin Dietrich returns with a full season of experience as the starting quarterback.
"Gavin is our best athlete, and he made tremendous strides as the season went along last year," Hicks said. "He just got better each week. We didn't pass a lot last season, but his passing ability kept getting better. He just has a knack for the big play and wants the ball in his hands when the game is on the line."
Freshman Santino Arlia, whose brother, Connor, was an All-Stater at Madonna earlier in the decade and whose father, Mike, is Madonna Athletic Director, is expected to make an impact as Dietrich's backup.
"Santino has a huge up side," Hicks said. "He's more of a pocket passer than Gavin. Like a lot of our young guys, he had a very good summer. Santino can do a lot of things and he gives us a one-two punch at quarterback."
Ty Ingram, a sophomore who got some varsity playing time and was a starter at defensive back, inherits the running back spot. Trey Kush, an athlete Hicks describes as being extremely fast with an extra gear and allusiveness, is the backup.
Another sophomore, Evan Daniels, returns at halfback. Hicks said he started some last year at halfback, which in Hicks' offense does a lot of blocking. A pair of freshmen, Lennon Dietrich, Gavin's brother, and Cameron Gray are in the mix.
Joe Soos, one of the bigger players on the Madonna squad, will be the tight end with Mark Pietranton and Evan Bone, a pair of freshmen, backing him.
Tom Sessi, who saw a lot of playing time last season on special teams and occasionally at wingback, will get the chance to start this year with junior Antonio Daddario and freshman Korey Kakacick looking for playing time as well.
Senior Dylan Austin returns at wide receiver with Evan Quering and Mitch Sagan in backup roles.
All-State senior Garrett Cook returns to lead the offensive line.
"Garrett is ready to have a tremendous season," Hicks said. "He's an excellent football player, and I'm excited about him."
Also on the offensive line will be senior Luke Beatty, who transferred last winter from Brooke and was the starting catcher on the Blue Don baseball team. The O-line will also include Josh Gasvoda, Nate Zanieski and Jacob McCombs, all juniors, along with sophomores Jacob Bonner and Mason Smith, and freshmen twins Nate and Nick Elias.
Cook also leads the defensive line where he starred last year at defensive end. Most of the offensive linemen will see double duty on the defensive front along with Soos and Pietranton.
Gasvoda, a two-year starter, leads the linebacker corps. He's joined by Daniels and Daddario with Lennon Dietrich, Bone and Gray expected to get playing time.
Gavin Dietrich will be back for his third year at cornerback. Ty Ingram gets the call at safety and Austin will be on the other corner. Others vying for playing time in the defensive backfield are Sessi, Arlia, Sagan, Quering, Kush and Kakacick.
"We have a lot of talented freshmen that will get playing time this year, but we had some get time last year," Hicks said. "They are building the foundation of what Madonna football can be, and it doesn't end there. We are focusing on the improvements of where our program is.
Hicks added that his program made a foundation. Although this year's squad is different in many aspects, he's confident they have the commitment, talent and desire needed to build on that foundation.
"We won't sneak up on anybody this year like we may have early last year," he said.
"We have a challenging schedule, but our goal every year is to be in the playoffs.
"Our main goal, though, every day and every week is to be 1-0 after that week's game. We can't move forward unless we are 1-0 one more time. Our long term goals are to be in the playoffs and be state champions.
"Last year, we had that good group of seniors to lead us. We'll be younger this year but with more size and athleticism. We'll be different schematically both offensively and defensively."
The approach is the same but adapted to fit what our kids can do."

Do we "get it?"
Hamilton says Paul uses the Greek word charis to refer to grace. He defines it as "an expression of selfless love that is completely undeserved and is given without any expectation of repayment." Oddly enough, in the middle of typing that sentence, my phone rang. It was a person I know asking me to do an incredibly easy favor. I said yes, and she thanked me and said, "so is there anything I can do for you?"
Do we "get" grace? Do we understand kindness? Are we willing to accept an act of grace for what it is - totally unmerited and unearned? Do we offer grace with the understanding that we are to expect nothing in return? Our society doesn't live into that ideal; each item given is in exchange for something else.
Can we accept unearned kindness? Do we think it is our just due? Or do we think we must "return the favor?" And if we give of ourselves, do we expect to receive back? I think, if we don't learn to give and receive without expectation of exchange, then we will never "get" grace.

We all love you so much, and look to you as our example of everything good and right, our mentor, our spiritual leader, our poet, our hand engraver, and our example of what it really means to live a life worthy of emulation. Words just aren't adequate to even begin tell you how loved you are. You are amazing!
We had a big family party for him last Friday. More on that later.
But first, a walk down memory lane...
Happy Birthday Papa Jack
I want to tell you of a sweet and humble man.
He is a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and when he writes, he has a shaky hand.
His life has been filled with service, a work ethic like no other.
He built a greenhouse out of a pool, owned a business, and he raised my mother.
He fought for his one true love, and he won her heart.
They were married in God's temple, sealed forever-what a start!
They went on to have six kids, and a few dogs.
He was a great provider. He took them all on trips…Including the dogs!
He is a motorcycle rider. He is known by many names.
To some he is Dad, to some he is Bishop, and to others he is a jeweler.
Anyone who knows him, knows there is no one that is cooler.
He loves the arts and has a gift for reciting poems.
He is just so awesome. I wish everyone could know him.
His gifts and talents are from heaven above.
And he shares his God-given abilities with so much love.
He hand engraves on bookmarks made of bronze.
He sometimes is at his workbench from dusk until dawn.
He has touched the lives of many, and has perfected the attribute of charity.
He is a diamond in the rough… a real gem, a rarity.
He loves the temple and goes as often as he can.
His marriage will be forever, and will be as great as it began.
Today he turns 85, goin' forward, not looking back.
He is my Grandpa. I love you Papa Jack!
Have a wonderful birthday!
Love your "darlin' " granddaughter, Ally


text: This paper presents the design and implementation of a reward system for collaborative care of elderly based on distributed ledger technologies. The work is motivated by the demographic change, where an aging population consequently increases the need for care. This causes a great tension in our society, as care resources become increasingly constrained, both regarding costs and availability of care staff. Much of the daily care of the elderly is today done by family members (spouses, children) and friends, often on a voluntarily basis, which adds to the tension. The core idea of this work is to help broaden the involvement of people in caring for our elderly, enabled by a system for collaborative care. The proposed system benefits from recent advances in distributed ledger technologies, which similarly to digital currencies, are build on the ability for mutual agreements between people who do not know each other. The system also benefits from recent gamification techniques to motivate people to collaborate on a larger scale through performing simple daily tasks. The system builds on rewards automatically given when these smart contracts are fulfilled, a gamification technique that is believed to maintain motivation of the volunteers. In this paper, we thus describe a reward system designed to connect elderly and volunteers by mutual agreements implemented as smart contracts.

(businesspress24) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 12/31/14 -- Summary
Crosswinds Holdings Inc. ("Crosswinds" or the "Company") (formerly C.A. Bancorp Inc.) (TSX: CWI) today announced that effective January 1, 2015:
The Company''s previously announced joint venture to form Monarch National Insurance Company is now expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
The Company also announced that it has formed a Delaware wholly-owned subsidiary named Crosswinds AUM LLC ("Crosswinds AUM"). Crosswinds AUM will, among other things, perform the asset management functions for Monarch.
Internalization of Management
Crosswinds has reached an agreement to internalize its management functions (the "Internalization") currently provided by CDJ Global Catalyst LLC ("CDJ") through the termination of its management agreement with CDJ effective January 1, 2015. No additional compensation or termination fee will be paid to CDJ in connection with the Internalization. CDJ will receive its management fees for the period up to and including December 31, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, Colin King, principal of CDJ and Chief Executive Officer of the Company will be employed and paid directly by the Company along with the Company''s other executive officers.
The Internalization is a "related party transaction" for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, however, because the fair market value of the subject matter and consideration of the Internalization is less than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, the Internalization is exempt from the valuation and minority approval requirements of the Instrument.
The Company will be filing a material change report in respect of the Internalization less than 21 days before the effective date of the Internalization on the basis that this shorter period is reasonable in the circumstances as the Company disclosed the potential proposed Internalization in its third quarter results publicly disseminated on November 14, 2014.
The Company made the decision to Internalize together with CDJ to simplify the Company''s operating and corporate structure and to better align management''s interests with those of the Company''s shareholders through the direct employment of these individuals. The Internalization is not expected to result in any change in operating costs to the Company.
A copy of the full text of the Management Agreement is available under Crosswinds'' profile on SEDAR at .
Appointment of New Chairman of the BoardUpdate on Insurance Joint Venture
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of J. Roy Pottle to Chairman of the Board of Directors of Crosswinds, replacing Robert Wolf effective January 1, 2015. Mr. Wolf will continue to serve as a Director on the Board and will continue to provide leadership to the Company. Mr. Pottle has been a director of the Company since March 2013. On July 21, 2014, the Company announced an agreement to form a new Florida-based property and casualty insurance carrier named Monarch National Insurance Company ("Monarch") and the execution of a subscription agreement for its interest in Monarch which was expected to close on or before December 31, 2014. The Company''s subscription in Monarch is now expected to close in the first quarter of 2015 subject to the receipt of regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.
Formation of Operating Subsidiary
The Company also announced that it has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Crosswinds AUM LLC in Delaware ("Crosswinds AUM"). Crosswinds AUM will, among other things, perform the asset management functions for Monarch. The Company is in the process of registering Crosswinds AUM as an investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Crosswinds AUM will also employ the management of Crosswinds following the Internalization.
Crosswinds Holdings Inc.
Crosswinds is a publicly traded private equity firm with a focus on the insurance industry. The Company is focused on investments, either directly or through entities to be managed by it, in the insurance sector.

My blog provides ample evidence that I totally bat for Team Bold Color and Team Vibrant Prints (often mixing them up whenever possible). When I saw this top online, I was immediately smitten. Made of fabulous Ankara, boasting a glorious high-low hem, and n adjustable waist cincher- come on, what's not to love?!
Thus far I've only styled it with denim pants, but I can also see myself wearing it with a pencil skirt, and shorts. I open to additional ideas, how would you style this number? Grass-Fields services sizes small-4X - I love their size inclusive options!
Did you notice the beautiful "Journey" pendant that I'm wearing? It's from Kevin Jewelers, I snagged it over the weekend for this month's blog feature. I previously announced here that I am working with KJ as a Brand Influencer. An awesome perk of our partnership is that I get to check out their fab inventory each month! Kevin's provides a number of value pieces for the price conscious customer. For example, they offer blue diamond earrings, 1 carat flower diamond earrings, and 1 carat solitaire earrings ranging in price from $29-$995! Get this: For the entire month of October, Kevin Jewelers is having a "Clear the Case" sale---> That means you can score BIG right now! An added bonus --> Kevin Jewelers is a proud supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness month! For certain purchases, KJ will donate 10% to The Breast Cancer Fundraiser ;)
Until next time,

I wasn't able to watch the Liverpool- Bolton match live, as Sky had bought it. I had to settle for the Radio Commentary from BBC 5 live.
I expected to have to give up trying to follow the match but I was pleasantly surprised. I could distinctly make out every word of the commentary, without losing the background sounds. Better still the commentary wasn't filled with superfluous comments, excessive superlatives or any hyperbole. The commentators were, in my opinion truly non-partisan, being scathing about bad and foul play from both teams. I really enjoyed listening, despite Liverpool only gaining the win in the last 6-7 mins.
If I have to rely on match commentaries, because the F.A. have sold out to Murdoch, then I look forward to further Radio 5. coverage.
I almost forgive the BBC for its Licence fee demands. (please note the "almost").

The Tools project for CLIL methods is successfully moving towards its final goal – to create a free online service, where language teachers can author online multimedia learning units, where all words in a text are automatically linked to online dictionaries in +100 languages. The system has been functioning for more than a year now, and the project team has been testing it with various target groups in their own institutions as well as in numerous international conferences, workshops and other events. The interface of the Clilstore was the most important issue for several months. The project team has the ambition to make it user friendly in both ways – functional and visual. The software developer Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle (SMO expert on PHP and JavaScript programming) was compiling the website system layers mainly based on PHP coding with Javascript to enhance the user interface. Together with Lone Olstrup from SDE they were also renovating the design layout of the pages. The final version of the interface design was voted on in Valencia meeting by the Tools team. Now the system has acquired its final look, while at the same time Caoimhín is still polishing and optimizing the function details. E.g. a problem with Arabic script had occurred, because the letters looked too small, almost impossible to read, if the system used unique Times New Roman for all languages. Now it is possible to enlarge the font of the text for Arabic. With finalizing the interface of the Clilstore, the time has come for Kent Andersen to create the DYI video, which will be translated into partner languages. With this video, which will be available on Youtube and in project website after June 10, language teachers will easily create their own exercises. Moreover, the course book as teacher's manual is on its way and will be ready by the end of summer.

Trilingual TripMay 4, 2013
TOOLS project partners Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and the University of Ulster got together to do some neighbouring language work…
Island Voices - Guthan nan Eilean
The recent short visit by the Guthan nan Eilean/Island Voices project to Ireland generated quite a range of recordings in various formats and genres – and in three different languages!
This online table brings them all together for ease of reference, with live clickable links to take you to the clip of your choice on the appropriate platform. That could be YouTube for video, or Ipadio for audio – or it could also be Clilstore if you want access to a wordlinked transcript while you watch and/or listen.
Clilstore is a learner-friendly platform being developed by Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in partnership with other institutions in the "TOOLS" project. It's still work in progress, so if learners or teachers have comments to make on how it could be improved please feed them back to us!

Works by leading names in British Modernism from the collection of art historian and founder of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Herbert Read, are to be offered for sale at Bonhams Modern British and Irish Art on Wednesday 22 November.
A towering figure in the story of British art in the mid-20th century, Read was a tireless champion of emerging artists struggling to make their mark against prevailing orthodoxies. In gratitude for Read's support, many artists gave him works as tokens of their appreciation. As Herbert's son, the celebrated novelist, Piers Paul Read, writing in the Autumn 2017 edition of Bonhams Magazine, recalls, "There were around a hundred works in his collection...almost all of it given to my father by artists whom he had encouraged and defended at a time when modern art was widely despised."
Three of these works, eventually inherited by the Reads' youngest son Benedict, feature in Bonhams November's Modern British and Irish Art sale.
1936 by Ben Nicholson (1894-1982), estimated at £150,000-200,000, was a Christmas gift to Read and his wife, Margaret known as 'Ludo'. In 1933, Read had left his first wife and son and eloped with Margaret, a fellow lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. They moved to one of the Mall Studios in Hampstead belonging to Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. (The two artists were later to marry). The dedication on the back of 1936 – a gouache on card - reads 'Ben Nicholson 1936/gouache/version 3/12 hand painted by B.N./ for Herbert + Ludo Xmas 1938/Nicholson/Mall Studios/Park hill Rd/NW3 London.'
Mother and Child by Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) was a gift to Margaret Read in 1934 shortly after the Reads had moved to Mall Studios. Carved in ironstone, this major work has been widely exhibited – including at the 2015 retrospective of Hepworth's work at Tate Britain – and is estimated at £150,000-200,000.
The Peacock Path by Paul Nash (1889-1948) entered the Read collection via a bequest in 1947 to the then infant Benedict. It is estimated at £70,000-100,000.
Bonhams Director of Modern British and Irish Art, Matthew Bradbury said: "It is impossible to imagine British art and art history without the contribution of Herbert Read. Against the hostility of the art establishment, he stood up for the new and distinctive talents that emerged in the 1930s and '40s and gave them a voice. The artists he encouraged are among the greatest creative minds of the 20th century, and it is a privilege to be entrusted with works that meant so much personally to Herbert and Ludo Read, and which have such public significance."
In 2018, Bonhams will be offering two other works from the Read Collection: Für Herbert Read by Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948), executed in 1944, and a piece by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (b1929).
Herbert Read (1893-1968) was an art historian and poet who wrote numerous influential books on art. A champion of the Avant Garde, Read promoted the work of leading modern artists from Britain and abroad, and was a co-founder of the Institute of Contemporary Art. His strong interest in art education and the value of children's creativity transformed the way art was taught.
Ben Read (1945-2016), the youngest son of Herbert Read, was an art historian who specialized in 19th and 20th century Art. He was an acknowledged expert on Victorian sculpture, about which he wrote extensively, and senior lecturer in Art History at Leeds University from 1990 until his retirement in 2010.

Gone Stumping by Braden Williams
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Genre: Contemporary
Length: Short Story (80 pgs)
Other: M/M, anal sex
Rating: 3 cherries
Reviewed by Cactus
Self-absorbed Aidan Montgomery knows what he wants: a life of luxury and material wealth. To get it he's stumping on the campaign trail for Senator Philip Brenton and carrying on a rather perfunctory affair with him to boot. The senator is his ticket to better living, and Aidan is content not to look too closely at Brenton's back room business dealings.
When discrepancies over property lines for a new casino development in the senator's district surface, axe man Rafe McCafferty becomes an unwilling participant in the dispute. A suspicious accident on the logging company owner's job site draws Aidan and Rafe into murky plans that threaten not only their jobs, but Aidan's shallow lifestyle and his vision for the future. There are no clear-cut answers for either of them, that is, until they have to unite for their own survival.
Sometimes it takes opposite personalities to find the biggest spark. Aiden is a typical political climber in many ways. He's concerned with the money, the prestige, and the material goods. He doesn't mind sleeping his way to the top either. Yet when he meets logger Rafe, their ideals and goals butt heads even as their chemistry ignites. Aiden starts to realize the life he always envisioned for himself may not be the road to happiness and perhaps the rough and tumble Rafe is onto something.
Gone Stumping is a quick, easy story to read about two men whose preconceptions change once they meet. The characters are obvious stereotypes but the point is to show that two men can change through their association together. They can step outside the box they've created and become different, better people together. Aiden is the classic plastic gay trope, obsessed with perfection and money. He's also somewhat lazy as he wants to get to the top but he'd rather sleep his way there than work hard. When Aiden meets Rafe, a logger who abhors the stereotype Aiden presents, the sparks and animosity fly.
Beyond the romance between the two men, the story has a political corruption background. This is pretty weak and very transparent. It plays on just about every political story and offers nothing especially new or interesting. By itself, this aspect of the story isn't really fun to read but the characters save this. Although they are stereotypes, they feel like authentic, real men that grow and change. Both men need to step outside of their comfort zones to take chances and that is the most interesting part of the story.
If you're looking at this as a political thriller, you're likely to be highly disappointed. Instead this is more suited for those romance fans that love to see how love can change people. In that way, the story delivers a decent romance with some interesting characters.

Family Game Night - Ohio (2012)
Elementary community joins together in Ohio
|FIRST President Dave Scholl, his wife Valerie, and Emma K. with her family display the cermonial check presented to FIRST.
|Emma with the school guidance counselor and school principal.
More recently, the entire Bassett Elementary community, where Emma is in 2nd grade, participated in a week-long awareness and fund raising campaign for FIRST. Each year the school, headed by Principal Ben Hodge and counselor Sandee Erdman, holds a Family Game Night event and chooses a worthwhile cause to raise money for. This year FIRST was selected. The school held a week of activities leading up to Family Game Night on February 10. There was an assembly for the students, featuring a slideshow presentation, which provided information about ichthyosis and FIRST. One family that owns a local crafting store donated beads so that the children then purchased from the school. Many teachers baked tasty treats for a bake sale. Snacks, drinks, and raffle items were donated by area merchants. These efforts raised more than $4,300 for FIRST. After the game night, the school held an assembly and showed a slide show presentation of photos from the evening and presented a check to FIRST president, Dave Scholl. The Foundation greatly appreciates the hard work of all of the staff, students, and parent volunteers on our behalf.

Mojo Monday #177
This is my first entry for the Mojo Monday sketch contest, but I really like this design. I enjoyed using different geometric shapes. The paper is one of my favorites. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my love of cats.
Paper: Basic Grey--Max & Whiskers
Cardstock--The Paper Company at JoAnn's
Stamp: I don't know! I got them at either Michael's or JoAnn's, but I lost the manufacturer info.
Ink: Making Memories-black & Versa Color-White
Rickrack--source unknown, but probably JoAnn's
Black Pearls--E Line from Prima Marketing
Inside the card, I continued the geometric theme with the triangle.

Casing and Chair rail
A chair rail is a molding that is mounted around the perimeters of rooms for keeping walls from unsafe chair backs. At times they are often known as dado rails since the lower part of wall space is called dado in standard architecture language. In recent times, chair rails started to be used as an ornamental element to many rooms. This approach has become very common and is now used in many more contemporary homes. Consequently, this has created a wide selection of styles that fits any design. Chair rail molding is usually installed about one 3rd up the height of your wall surface.
Adding chair rail molding is simple to do and is a good way to design a room in the house. Chair rail comes in various designs and sizes. It could be made of either solid wood or artificial materials, like polyurethane. Artificial chair rail is much more flexible than wood, making it a good option for uneven walls. The primary and main basic choice is the size of the chair rail. Do not forget that if your rail will be to perform a reasonable, protecting aspect it should not be so narrow that it does not protect the wall from chair backs. Also slender a rail in a bigger room furnished with grand set furnishings could look too meaningless and frail for the set-up it is installed in.
Color and design can bring an additional size to one's own chair molding. Chair molding is often painted white against a different background, or is shaded a light color against a white or ecru shaded background. In some cases, an intense, bold color can spark up the personality of a room. In short, all chair rail suggestions you are exploring must keep in mind the room where they are meant to go. Designs may clash leading to something that will not look good in any way. Thus, you may want to see what the final result would appear to be before deciding on your choice.
Larger rooms have bigger parts of walls. In this situation, you must splice more pieces of chair rail than usual. Obviously this requires more work and effort. In this kind of work, expertise will come very handy. It may be a do it yourself task but do not hesitate to use a contractor if you don't know what to do. If you choose to go at it yourself, you would be happy to know that there are lots of instructional materials offered. These will work as step by step instructions for your woodwork project. Every detail you will need for this project is outlined in great depth to make things go easily.
There are many ways to configure the moldings you can use. A chair molding can be cut to size using a miter power tool and combined to fill corners. Otherwise, you can use some corner blocks to make straight butt joints. How you do that is entirely up to you.
If you would like to spice up your living area, fitting a chair rail can be the solution. These serve both aesthetic and practical purpose which makes them a worthy investment.

Abstract:We find an individual's rank within their reference group has effects on later objective outcomes. To evaluate the impact of local rank, we use a large administrative dataset tracking over two million students in England from primary through to secondary school. Academic rank within primary school has sizable, robust and significant effects on later achievement in secondary school, conditional on national test scores. Moreover we find boys gain four times more in later test scores from being top compared to girls. We provide evidence for a mechanism using matched survey data, which shows that rank affects an individual's self-concept. The paper discusses other potential channels but concludes that malleable non-cognitive skills such as confidence and belief in own ability are most likely to generate these results. We put forward a basic model where rank effects costs and effort allocation when faced with multiple tasks. We believe this is the first large-scale study to show large and robust effects of rank position on objective outcomes of that have consequences in the labour market.

Ziser meets world famous photographer - yep, and it was Mr. Joe McNally. Since Imaging USA was held in Tampa, which coincidentally is world headquarters for the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and Kelby Training, a lot of us got together for dinner last Monday evening with the NAPP group. We had a great time. One of the highlights was meeting Joe McNally and his wife Anne Cahill - two of the very nicest people. Boy, it's kind of cool when you meet someone who is the best in the world at what they do and then they turn out to be really nice people too. Anyway, we had a wonderful visit over dinner.
Joe has a new book coming out - The Moment It Clicks. In talking with Scott over at NAPP headquarters on Friday, he says it really "rocks." Since he helped edit the book, he should know. You can pre-order from Amazon right here - it should be shipping very soon. Take a peek at the video below and you get a little insight about how Joe thinks and works. His easy manner and wonderful photographic style really comes through.

Alpha Ship, February 25, 2010
Greetings from Alpha Spaceship!
Kris-Won, our channel-contact between us and all of you, visualized me very well the other day, and he dared to draw me on a small piece of paper. The truth is that I was left looking quite favored! I am therefore going to ask that he shows the drawing so everyone can know how I look while I maintain my energy condensed in a physical form. I can leave the body whenever I wish and transfer with the power of my thought to any place within the Universe, but because I need to interact in the third dimension, I decide to be in my physical body, which is the form that I keep. Thank you, Kris-Won. We appoint you portrait cartoonist of our crew!
Another day I will telepathically send him the mental image of Admiral Joesi (who sent the January 22, 2010 message) so that you can know his physical form, as well. And we will do the same with the other members of the crew, as they present themselves or I introduce them so that they are known, if it is appropriate, of course. For all of this has to have a reason.
One might ask: "What purpose does it serve to see the physical form?" The reason is for you to know how my physical form is, as that will help to better crystallize our connection, and so you do not visualize me in an imaginary form if you already know how I am. Or, you can also connect with me by concentrating on my individual energy as pure energy, without form. The more advanced way to do it is similar to the way Kris-Won (my channel) does, because he can connect telepathically with anyone in the Universe with whom he wants. But this requires you having your telepathic ability already developed, like some human beings we have on this planet with whom we are currently sharing our messages, either from ships or individually. They are Beings of Light who have the capacity to move freely from one dimension to the next.
Some of these Exalted Beings lower their vibration to come into this dense and heavy vibration of physical matter, which helps them in many different ways: sometimes with communications through a channel (such as how I do it), other times breathing into your minds an idea that is sometimes confused as your own intuition, when it is not. And at other times they are directly involved with acting on the physical level, either individually, or with the help of the Devas, which as you know, are the agents of nature who care for the planet, minerals, plants, trees, animals, mountains, seas, lakes, etc., and whose assistants are the four basic elements, namely the land, water, fire and air. There exists a fifth element, ether, but it is much more subtle than the previous elements. And in this element, elemental beings do not exist, since it is a pure energy field, which is used by the sound to travel through it.
After the Ascension of humanity and with all living beings on the planet, humans will have opened their internal channels and have the ability to connect and communicate with the Devas and Elementals of the four basic elements of nature. You would count on their help to better cultivate your vegetation, build better homes with more specific materials that are harmless to nature (for the Elementals as well) and for making them more durable. Or, learning by example how to live more in harmony with the environment surrounding you, whether land or water.
And finally, after the Ascension of you all that was planned and decided by the Creator becomes an accomplished fact, you will come into contact with the human beings that live within the earth's crust, who are survivors of ancient civilizations prior to the current one; like, for example, parts of the Atlantean civilization (the continent of Atlantis) or Lemurian civilization (the continent of Mu). Both civilizations were destroyed because of their misuse of technology, which they developed in depth, but without developing their humanism and brotherhood to the same level. Cases like these have arisen on other planets of the Cosmos everywhere, being a sad reality in many of these worlds.
The more advanced beings of these ancient civilizations that did not share the political decisions of that era, were warned of the impending catastrophe that was to break out, and through advanced technology, you still do not know that they managed to dig tunnels deep in places inaccessible to the curious at that time and this time, and there they made their habitat, that has been maintained so far. Between them we can name Adama, who belonged to the Lemurian civilization and was a king at the time, and today is the leader of his people. Adama is very loving. He has contacted humanity on the surface to cooperate in the raising of global awareness of human beings. He is very concerned that the current civilization does not once again make the same mistakes that the politicians and scientists of Lemuria made, and that efforts are not curtailed to prevent the modern man on the surface from destroying this beautiful blue planet with a nuclear holocaust or huge war.
And so ends the channeled message for today, hoping to make a strong and determined effort to develop more and more love in your hearts and to give assistance to anyone who needs it. Give of yourself without fear of others, for we are all One in God's Creation.
Peace and Love
Channeler: Kris-Won

Sustainability Metrics & Rating Systems
Sustainability Metrics & Rating Systems
To create a sustainable Longmont involves not only setting sustainability goals, but measuring the city's progress to completing each goal. Sustainability metrics and rating systems are tools that analyze policies, projects and progress to ensure that Longmont is implementing effective solutions to creating a sustainable community. Visit the Longmont Indicators Dashboard to learn about Longmont's progress towards creating a sustainable community.
Sustainability Evaluation System
The City of Longmont Public Works & Natural Resources has developed a Sustainability Evaluation System (SES) as a tool for helping to make more sustainable decisions when developing or implementing plans, procedures, programs, and projects. The SES is made up of two modules, Exploring/Setting Goals, and Evaluating Alternatives. The first module can help identify what sustainability characteristics of projects or programs should be considered in the planning stages of a project or program. The second module can be used to evaluate the sustainability aspects of alternatives that have already been developed in a plan or preliminary design. A life cycle cost assessment also needs to be developed or available and is part of the Module 2 evaluation. Both modules of the SES are intended to be used by a team that encompasses different viewpoints or disciplines in order to provide a more comprehensive view of sustainability. The SES is based on the following 12 categories:
1) Best Practices (Organizational)
2) Best Practices (Assets and Infrastructure)
3) Best Practices (Financial)
4) Buildings and Infrastructure
5) Energy
6) Transportation
7) Community and Individual Well-being
8) Economic Vitality
9) Materials and Waste
10) Natural Environment
11) Water Resources
12) Water Quality
Each of these categories have numerous sub-topics that provide additional details and criteria to guide sustainable practices. The implementation of the SES assists Longmont in ensuring that the city's projects and programs are cognizant of and consider the three pillars of sustainability, which are environmental protection, economic vitality and social equity.
National Rating Systems
Longmont developed its metric systems through researching national metrics and rating systems. National systems range from broad community metrics to rating systems that focus on specific areas of the community.
Below are a few examples:
STAR Community Rating System is a national rating system for evaluating sustainability.
Green Roads is a rating system specifically designed to evaluate transportation systems.
Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure's Envision Program for evaluating sustainability in infrastructure.
For more examples, please review the Overview of National Metrics and Rating Systems that was developed during the creation of Longmont's Sustainability Evaluation System.

We are a young punk rock group who take our music back to the late 90s and early 00s. when long denim shorts and skate shoes would be your favorite get up. we have fast fun sound with most of our songs describing the make up and break ups of everyone's teenage years. With powerful guitar chords, solid drums and catchy choruses it is a very fun and hi energy experience
Jedd Delaland (Curbside Drive)
Starting off as a not so secret band within a band, three dudes assembled and bonded over their love of punk rock. Keeping the cliché alive, Jack, Danyon and Zac jammed to poorly recorded drum tracks on Youtube in a small study turned studio room, nicknamed "the toaster shack oven". Never being able to start simultaneously with the internet, Youtube was easily replaced with the arrival of Jedd who completed "Curbside Drive".
Blink-182, Violent Soho, Dune Rats, Screeching Weasel, Weezer, The Cure, FIDLAR
We have been lucky enough to share the stage with LAKESIDER at their album launch. also rocked the stage with true neutral, coro fire, blind opinion even tell the sharman was on one of our bills plus way more!
Definitely our EP outside your window. after jamming for so long and get crappy phone recrodings or only being able to play to people. its great we now have something to finally give them to listen other that the live experience
Currently just trying to get ourselves out there play anywhere possible. we have got enough material to get straight back in the studio so that what we will probably do. also some great new ideas we are all really enjoying it together its great!

I live in a place called Coral Gables just outside Miami. It's "Mediterranean" architecture was not a style borrowed from Europe but one created in the United States and draws on all of Italian, Spanish, French, Moorish and Arabian design. How appropriate since it's my philosophy of life; gathering wisdom from many!
I love travel, cooking, music, and the movies… and my number one passion is my work. I love coaching and consulting with lawyers as we work, together, through the process of business development.
Many people tell me I work too much… they have not heard the saying "find what you love and you never have to work a day in your life." I consider myself fortunate to have found my passion—and I wake up each morning grateful for the opportunity to spend another day doing what I love most.
I've spent the last 28 years working closely with clients in a variety of industries to develop results-driven business development solutions. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with lawyers and law firms from around the globe (on four continents!) on everything from powerful and innovative design to marketing strategy and business development. I have helped firms of all sizes—from one attorney to one thousand—to separate themselves from their competitors and achieve the growth they desire.
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to speak regularly on law firm topics including branding, marketing, business, and personal development. I love interacting with lawyers and other professionals in a variety of settings, whether it's giving a presentation to hundreds of attorneys, facilitating an intimate workshop for a small group, or working one-on-one with a lawyer.
Several years ago, I was asked to be on the faculty of a national conference for Managing Partners. As I considered this opportunity, I knew that I needed to be able to hand out something of substance that would enhance my credibility. All of a sudden, a little voice in the back of my head said "write a book, write a book"… the advice I'd been giving my clients for years. So I did the unthinkable, and took my own advice… and it turns out, writing a book was among the most important milestones in my professional life. I've now published several books, including my award-winning "Little Black Book" series. You can learn more about these books here.
This blog is a place for me to share some of the "black pearls of wisdom" that I've learned in my decades in the business, as well as inspiration and insights from other industry thought leaders. It's a place for you to get to know my approach to legal business development, my passions, and my perspective on building a firm and creating a practice, so that you can lead a life that is truly fulfilling.
I'd love to get to know you, too! You can always send me an email, leave a comment, or connect with me on LinkedIn and Twitter. Thanks for visiting my blog, and I hope to hear from you soon

Part A: What do you know about Muslims and Islam?
What do you know about Muslims and Islam? Where did you get this understanding from?
Many non-Muslim Australians get their understanding of Islam from the media. While it is important that the media keeps all Australians informed about issues and events that occur, the media is also responsible for deciding what and how news will be reported. While the media sometimes promotes Islam and Muslims positively, some people believe that Islam and Muslims are not represented fairly by the media.
Understand the terms:
Islam: Islam is a religion. The word Islam is used in the same way as the term Christianity or Buddhism.
Muslim: A Muslim is a person who follows Islam. The word Muslim is used in the same way as the term Christian or Buddhist.
Now watch the following video in which a Muslim Imam discusses how he thinks the media portrays Islam and Muslims.
The reflections in this video are supported by a recent study into the reporting of diversity on Australian news and current affairs television programs. It found that these programs generally 'represent Australia as an 'Anglo' nation' and when ethnic minorities are included 'it is usually to be shown as threatening and menacing to the Anglo mainstream.' (Phillips, 2011).

I received the part in a timely manner, but it came without the screws that are necessary to mount...I would've paid extra to have them. It would've been more convenient.

Eye of the Tiger
Striptease's Demi Moore knows that it takes the "A" in ambition to get to the top.
AS Demi Moore WOULD LATER recall, she sensed "a certain animal fever" on the set when she performed exotic dances during the filming of Striptease. By all accounts, things got hottest on a day last October—the very first time Moore stepped onto the movie's Fort Lauderdale nightclub stage. Some 200 male extras hired to play club patrons were gathered around small tables near the runway. Their fee was nominal, and they'd had to wait an hour—but the extras didn't mind. They were there for one real reason: to see Demi Moore undress. When the cameras rolled at last and a hard-driving Annie Lennox tune, "Money Can't Buy It," kicked out from the loudspeakers, Moore strode onstage wearing a man's suit with tearaway snap buttons. Maybe it was the anticipation. Maybe the sight of a superstar in the flesh. But as Striptease choreographer Marguerite Derricks recalls, Moore was just a few steps into her routine when the men in the audience erupted. "There was an uproar," says Derricks. "The director yelled 'Cut!' They were really carrying on."
Few, if any, top female film stars would have been out on that runway in the first place, ready to submit their bodies to the scrutiny of several million moviegoers. And after being confronted by 200 braying extras, even the most daring actress might have demanded a double. Not Moore. Order was restored, the scene was reshot, and Moore, 33, shimmied down to her bikini top and G-string. No big deal. When asked about the filming of her exotic dance numbers, Moore smiles the wistful smile of a born exhibitionist and replies, "After my experience, I felt very confident."
Indeed, Moore has more to feel confident about than the physical attributes she calls her "goodies." Her entire career has been marked by a determination to succeed, rivaling anything imagined by Dreiser—or at least Judith Krantz. A self-described "trailer park kid," Moore kicked a drug and alcohol habit that nearly scuttled her career. She has also survived a turbulent family life featuring a mother, Virginia Guynes, 51, whose own substance-abuse problems have caused her several very public brushes with the law. Moore, for all that, has been the one member of the mid-'80s Brat Pack of young film actors (Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andrew McCarthy, et al) to achieve superstardom, thanks to hits like Ghost (1990) and Disclosure (1994). For Striptease, she was able to command $12.5 million, making her the highest-paid actress in movie history. "She works harder than anyone I know," says Striptease director Andrew Bergman. "She wants to be in control of her life."
Not even she can control everything, and as anyone who has been following her career can attest, Moore, for all her self-assurance, does have things to worry about. Critics gave The Scarlet Letter an F, and audiences flunked it at the box office, too. This spring's The Juror also failed to draw as expected. As some in L.A. see it, for Moore this is make-or-break time. "I think Striptease has to work," says Martin Grove, CNN film industry analyst and a Hollywood Reporter columnist "Otherwise, Demi may have to get a day job at Planet Hollywood. It's hard to justify $12.5 million when you're not packing them in."
But the buzz on Striptease isn't encouraging. In marketing tests, many potential ticket buyers confused the film, which the studio bills as a comedy-thriller, with last year's sleazefest Showgirls. Just a few weeks ago, Moore, Burt Reynolds and the film's other stars had to reshoot the ending after test audiences objected to having Reynolds's character turn violent. Such portents of another flop, one film producer says, may give movie execs doubts about Moore's marketability. "You begin to ask if there's an audience out there for Demi, or if her success has been more a function of the movies she's been in," he says. Audiences have an abiding affection for actresses who play vulnerable characters, like Julia Roberts, he adds, "but it's a different situation for Demi."
Certainly it may be hard for Moore to engender much empathy among women when almost every signal moment in her career has involved a display of flesh. Beginning with her first major picture, 1984's Blame It on Rio, and now with Striptease, Moore has appeared topless six times on the screen. There were her notorious nude Vanity Fair covers in 1991 and '92, and at this moment a photo in Arena magazine of Moore—made up as a man and baring her breasts—is causing a stir in Britain. Just one indicator that there's no love lost on Moore comes in a story called "Public Enemies" in the current issue of Allure magazine. The article derides Moore's "preternaturally perky breasts," and dismisses her as a "famously buff mother of three [who] is despised by unbuff mothers of three everywhere."
At the same time, she isn't exactly being cheered on by Hollywood, where her tough-girl determination often causes her to be perceived as demanding and difficult. Even moguls who like Moore describe her in terms more commonly applied to the Dallas Cowboys on the eve of the Super Bowl. "She is extremely focused, really committed," says Barry Levinson, who directed her in Disclosure. Others are less discreet. Adrian Lyne, who directed Moore in 1993's Indecent Proposal, told Britain's The Guardian, "If you want her to sit down, she tends to want to stand up. Or she wants to know why you want her to sit down." Then, mixing his metaphors but making his meaning clear, he advised future Demi directors to "put on a suit of armor. She's a very tough ride."
In her own defense, Moore told Cosmopolitan, "I do take a stand about how a scene should be played. I have a passion for my work, and that sometimes triggers creative conflicts." Carl Hiaasen, author of the novel on which Striptease is based, was impressed by her smarts—and surprised that she'd read his book thoroughly and then "struck out with a journalistic appetite and researched the stripping business." While the movie was in production, Moore's daily exercise encompassed a long predawn run on the beach, as many as three hours of dance rehearsal, a session with her personal trainer in a special trailer outfitted with $15,000 worth of gym equipment, and 2½ hours of yoga. Vanity may motivate Moore, but by making sure she looks every inch the $12.5 million woman onscreen, Moore also maintains her superstar status and the leverage that goes with it. "Everything is a matter of Demi trying to have a sense of empowerment," says director Bergman. He pauses, then adds, "Given her early life, you can understand it."
Moore was born Demetria Guynes in Roswell, N.Mex., and grew up as the older child—half brother Morgan is now 28 and a film technician—of Danny Guynes, a newspaper ad salesman, and his wife, Virginia. (Her mother, Moore has said, got the name Demetria from a beauty product she saw in a magazine.) By his daughter's estimate, Danny had moved the family some 30 times before Moore was a teenager. Sometimes the moves were prompted by a better job, but just as often they were to escape his debts. The accommodations, needless to say, were far from commodious. One scene from Striptease was shot in a trailer that, says Siobhan Fallon, an actress with a supporting role in the film, "was this dark, dreary one-bedroom thing, full of knickknacks." But Moore's reaction to the place "was a little shocking," Fallon recalls. "She said, 'Believe it or not, this is a pretty nice trailer. I've seen a lot worse than this.' "
Poverty wasn't Moore's only problem. At 12, she developed a crossed right eye, which required two operations to correct. At 14, she discovered that Guynes was not her biological father—she had been conceived during Virginia's two-month marriage in 1962 to an Air Force man named Charles Harmon. That revelation, and the constant drinking and fighting of her parents, set her adrift. "I got lost," she told McCall's. "I had an essence in my life that I was nothing."
Guynes and Virginia divorced when Moore was 15, and in 1980, Danny Guynes committed suicide by breathing carbon monoxide from his car exhaust. By that time, Demi was on her own. At 16, soon after she and her mother had moved to L.A., Moore dropped out of Fairfax High, got a job at a debt collection agency, took her own apartment and did some modeling. At 18, she married Freddy Moore, a rock musician 12 years her senior.
The seed of Moore's acting ambitions was planted about the time of her marriage, when she took to reading scripts with a young German neighbor and aspiring actress named Nastassja Kinski. Moore enrolled in some drama classes, and in 1982, though she had little experience, beat out 1,000 other actresses for a role on General Hospital. "She had street smarts," recalls GH veteran Norma Connolly. "She learned fast."
In some ways, too fast. Drugs and alcohol took their toll while she worked on forgettable films like 1982's Parasite, about a marauding giant slug. She left GH in 1983 to work on Blame It on Rio, and she and Freddy divorced in 1984. That same year she was cast in the Brat Pack drama St. Elmo's Fire. But when director Joel Schumacher discovered the extent of Moore's dissolute ways, he threatened to fire her.
That did it. Moore promptly entered a rehab program and arrived on the set two weeks later clean and sober. She never looked back. Her mother, who has a long record of arrests for crimes, including drunken driving and arson, has not been so lucky. Virginia posed nude in 1993 for High Society magazine, imitating her daughter's Vanity Fair pregnancy cover. Through it all, Moore tried to get help for her mother, but when Virginia walked away from a rehab stay Moore had paid for at Hazelden in Minnesota, Demi broke off contact with her.
Given that background, it's almost remarkable that Moore now finds herself in what is, by Hollywood standards, a long-running marriage. She met Bruce Willis—then the fast-rising star of TV's Moonlighting—in August 1987, shortly after she had ended a three-year, on-again, off-again engagement to Elmo costar Emilio Estevez. Though Willis had a hard-drinking, womanizing reputation, Moore found him warm and funny. They married three months later. Kevin Pollak, Moore's costar in A Few Good Men, recalls her early times with Willis as "basic, silly puppy love."
Today, with their three daughters, Rumer, 7, Scout, 4, and Tallulah, 2, Moore and Willis have entered a more mature phase of their relationship. "We don't have a storybook marriage," Moore has told Cosmopolitan. "We argue. We fight." But, she added, "the children are our glue, and we're each other's best friend. Those two facts see us through tough spots."
A little walking-around money never hurts either. Moore employs two nannies and a personal staff that includes her assistant, the assistant's assistant, bodyguards, a tutor, masseuse, yoga instructor and cook. With $21 million in paychecks over the past two years, she is the only movie actress on the Forbes list of top-earning entertainers. She and Willis, who according to Forbes has himself earned more than $35 million since 1994, own a $2.5 million white stucco home on the beach in Malibu, a 14-room pied-à-terre on Manhattan's Central Park West, and a six-bedroom, seven-bath ranch house worth $5 million on 48 acres near the town of Hailey, Idaho. In Hailey, the couple has bought much of Main Street, including the Liberty Theatre and a club called the Mint, where Willis often sings with his rock band. Along with stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and her husband, Moore is also a partner in the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, which last year pulled in $21 million in profits.
Such loot makes life a movable feast. On the Striptease set, Moore made "a little home for herself," says Siobhan Fallon. She fenced in a patch of lawn outside her trailer for her two dogs. Mommy's favorite artworks—crayon drawings by her daughters and Polaroid snaps of Dad and the kids—covered the walls. And on every flat surface, from tables to countertops to shelves, sat dolls from Moore's 2,000-figure collection. It might not take a degree in psychology to conclude that these icons help Moore find a piece of her lost childhood. And, indeed, among her dolls, notes choreographer Derricks, "she's like a little kid."
Away from the dollhouse, though, Moore projects a different image entirely. She is confident, in control, serene. One night last September, Fallon recalls, huge, boiling cumulonimbus clouds rolled across the Florida sky, packing atomic-blast thunder and releasing crackling lightning bolts. Fallon lay in bed, fretful. The next morning, when she mentioned the storm to Moore, the star simply shrugged. "Last night," said Moore, "I went running in the rain, then I took a swim in the ocean." Spoken like a woman who fully expects to ride out all of life's tempests.

text: On April 14, 1982, President Reagan established the Presidential Commission Against Drunk Driving (PCDD). This commission established 39 recommendations to curb what was perceived to be a drunken driving epidemic. Taken together, the 39 recommendations were intended to be comprehensive approach with a goal of reducing the number of alcohol-related deaths on the nation's highways. Recommendation number eight concerned the Minimum Legal Purchasing Age, and said that all states should raise the Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA) to 21, lest they lose a certain percentage of federal highway dollars. Though the target of the Commission's recommendations was intended to be drunk driving across the adult population, the disproportionate amount of attention paid to establishing 21 as the national minimum drinking age shifted the nation's focus to young people's drinking. Exclusive interest in raising the drinking age marginalized the effect of the remaining 38 recommendations, among them suggestions to implement youth education programs, establish a massive public information campaign, and to increase penalties for convicted drunken drivers. Two years later, on July 17, 1984, after extensive lobbying from groups such as MADD, President Reagan signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, effectively creating a national minimum drinking age of 21. By 1987, all 50 states had legislated Legal Age 21.

Young Leader's Rapid Rise in Italy Prompts Questions
The Florence mayor prefers leather jackets and open shirts, once won the Wheel of Fortune and relies on the kind of political personality more typical of American politicians. What Matteo Renzi, 39, hasn't done is face a national election, despite being poised to become the next Italian prime minister. He has an ambitious schedule for reform, promising political and electoral change by month's end and labor changes next month. While many hope he'll fix the economy, concerns continue that once again Italy has a leader whom national voters never had a chance to endorse.
