Cut Adrift
The emotional story behind our troubling economic statistics.
Everyone knows that economic inequality is on the rise in the U.S., thanks in part to a decline in the availability of well-paying jobs with benefits. And we're all aware how managing risk has shifted from the government and employers to individuals and their families, leaving Americans to provide for their own retirement and pay for some (or all) of their health care, while also adjusting to the rapidly increasing cost of higher education. What people don't often hear about is the emotional and psychological impact these fundamental economic changes have had on their fellow Americans, as the economic inequality/insecurity story is typically illustrated using little more than black-and-white statistics.
In "Cut Adrift: Families in Insecure Times" (University of California Press), Marianne Cooper, a sociologist at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, highlights the anxiety Americans are feeling in the face of long-term economic challenges. As part of her research, Cooper interviewed more than fifty families (ranging from affluent to poor) to determine how they are coping with insecurity. One of her core conclusions is that the way people respond, which differs by social class, ends up fueling inequality. "Affluent families try to create an economic firewall between their family and this insecurity. In contrast, middle class and working class families come to feel that they can't change much about their situation so they lower their expectations," Cooper says.
In the following Failure Interview, Cooper explains how Americans are "not just pulling apart economically, we are pulling apart emotionally. As the rich push for more—because they think they need more in order to be secure—and everyone else tries to acclimate to greater insecurity, we are making inequality worse. We are so focused on our own individual coping mechanisms that we aren't coming together with a collective will to stop it."
Why did you write "Cut Adrift"?
I felt like a major part of what is happening in our society was being left out of the discussion about inequality and insecurity. It's a story largely told through statistics and graphs, but the personal story of the people who live out these trends in their everyday lives is not being included. I wanted to put a human face on it.
Also, there are a lot of sociologists and economists who have looked at inequality and many who have looked at economic insecurity, but they don't talk about how the two are related. There is actually an inequality of security. When you lay income and wealth inequality on top of insecurity that's what you get. What it means is that middle and working class families are not only more likely to experience financial hardship, but when they do, they have fewer resources at their disposal to weather that economic storm.
In contrast, affluent families—in addition to not facing as much economic insecurity and uncertainty—have more resources at their disposal to get through it. So it's not just that we have an inequality of wealth and income, it's also that we have inequality in terms of our exposure to risk and insecurity.
It would be one thing if we had high inequality but everyone had security. That would look much different than what we have right now, where we have high inequality and people who are experiencing tremendous insecurity. That's another issue: How much of this insecurity is also reinforcing inequality? When middle class families experience a layoff or a pay cut, and then in their next job they are earning less, that's part of what is creating inequality. These forces are in a big feedback loop.
Why do people feel insecure?
It depends, which was also a big discovery. When I started I didn't realize I had a working definition of what security should mean to people. But I did and I think we all have a sense of what a "good life" is, especially people in public policy or scholars in sociology or economics. Maybe if you have a job with a good paying wage and benefits and you live in a nice community you feel secure. That's a factual definition of security.
But when you start talking to people about security and insecurity there is this subjective dimension to what it means and what it looks like. That's the part that really surprised me, because when I went out and started talking to poor and working class people, they didn't always feel as insecure as the facts might lead us to think. I learned that facts and feelings don't always move together in the ways we expect them to. I found affluent people who were highly anxious about their financial futures, when on paper you would think they didn't have anything to worry about.
I learned over time that we work on our definitions of security and insecurity when we are struggling so that we can cope with our situation. One of the people I interviewed, Laura Delgado, makes the situation she is facing much more tolerable by saying, "It's not that bad. It's not as bad as the Great Depression. It's not as bad as this friend of mine who lost her eight-year-old son to cancer." She tries to change her attitude about security to make things seem not so bad.
On the other hand, I profiled affluent families like Paul and Brooke Mah, and even though Paul has assets of well over a million dollars, he is still not satisfied and wants to keep pushing for more. He says for him to have real financial security he would have to have ten million dollars. So we get these subjective, personal takes on inequality that cause us to question looking at this solely from an objective perspective.
How much are people driven by expectations?
Expectations are malleable. The deeper question is: Where are these expectations coming from and how do we change our expectations to cope with the realities we face? Among affluent families the expectation is that they need to provide for their children and set them up so they have financial security. And they also need to provide for themselves in their retirement, and when you run those calculations it's a huge price tag. So those expectations are coming from a reading of what's changed in our society—what people need to have in order to be secure—and doing a calculation of what it costs to set one's family up for that. When you have multi-millionaires in your social universe that changes your sense of what you have.
But at the middle and below people have let go of certain expectations. They let go of their dreams and goals because things outside of their control—like a layoff or uninsured health care emergency—come along and blow it for them. What I found is that people have stopped hoping for more. They have become so beaten down that they have stopped hoping, because when things are out of your control, having really firm expectations about security is almost painful because you can't live up to those expectations. If you hold onto the idea that you have to send your kids to college and pay for it in the midst of downward mobility that creates a lot of angst. So over time people start to adjust these expectations and they say, "It isn't so bad if my kid goes to community college." And those things might not be a big shift. But then you get down to people like Laura Delgado who was saying things to me like, "Having nothing is not always a bad thing." And when her heat got turned off, she would say, "It's not so bad. It's like I'm camping with my kids." So expectations are not firm and fixed. You have to have definitions and feelings about security that can change over time, and that's what enables you to cope with very difficult circumstances.
What do we need to do to stop—and ultimately reverse—this trend in inequality?
The first thing is that people need to understand that it doesn't need to be this way. A lot of people feel like there is nothing to be done, but there is a lot we can do. We need to have a conversation about values and the values that created a middle class in this country and the values we need to return to. A lot of times when people experience insecurity they experience it as a personal failing, like they've done something wrong. It's not that people have done something wrong, it's that our policies have failed us. If we change the policies that ushered in this age of insecurity, we can usher ourselves out. But it takes a rethinking of morals and values about what we owe each other as Americans.
From my perspective, economic security is the foundation of economic opportunity. It's things like living wages, affordable health care, affordable child care and affordable college educations. When you look at what happened after World War II, the GI Bill sent millions of people to college, and not only paid for college tuition, but paid to support dependents while you were getting an education. That is something that Americans can't even imagine today—a support system like that. Federal and governmental policies enabled people to translate working hard into moving up.
But there was also a social contract between employers and employees based on mutual protections and mutual loyalties where companies paid good wages and offered good benefits and in return workers worked really hard and helped build the company. Together, that created not only economic growth but shared economic growth. Over the last 30 or 40 years, the people who are reaping most of the rewards are companies and the executives. It is not being shared with the average worker, and that's a fundamental change from how things were post-World War II.
So a lot of this is about policy and the moral and ideological viewpoint underneath policy. It used to be we believed we were better off if we stood together in good times and bad. And that began to unravel and it became more about everyone being on their own, which is why you hear phrases like free-agent nation. We're getting to a point where a very strong case can be made that that way of organizing our society and organizing our relationship between employers and employees is not sustainable. And if we want long-term economic growth we are going to have to think about how we can all share and all move up.
Is the American Dream a thing of the past? Are people still dreaming?
I think it's just a dream and that's because the people I profiled were letting go of their dreams. Instead of looking up and dreaming, people are looking down and figuring out how to cope and survive. And we are seeing that in surveys. It used to be that the American Dream was to own a home and move up the class ladder. Now what we are seeing is that Americans are more concerned about holding onto what they have. The desire to own a home has been replaced by the desire to be debt-free and have financial stability. We are seeing these personal, subjective changes in what the American Dream looks like.
There is a whole psychology that underlies the American Dream and my sense from the data out there and from talking to families is that the belief that if I work hard I will move up has fallen by the wayside. People are nervous about what the new rules of the game are. They are working hard but it's not translating into what they thought it would.
Are you optimistic about the future?
The good news is that people are talking about inequality and the hollowing out of the middle class. There is a growing sense that we are not on the right track. A recent poll found that a historic proportion of people lacked confidence that their children's generation would do better than their own. When these feelings begin to become the norm and are shared by a lot of people then that's when a real conversation can start about how to fix things.
But these are big problems and we need big changes and big solutions. And we need a lot of innovation in how we provide security for families. There is a fierce battle about the role of government in providing security and we saw that debate with the Affordable Care Act. So I am optimistic but there is a long road ahead of us. There is a lot to lose by not addressing this from a societal stability perspective and a national competitiveness advantage perspective. My hope is that we actually start figuring it out and addressing it.

Winter storm blasts the Midwest
TAMMY WEBBER / Associated Press
Sunday, December 10, 2000 9:00pm
Local NewsNation / world
By TAMMY WEBBER
CHICAGO – The Midwest's first major storm of the season blew in today with cold and heavy snow, snarling air travel around the country and giving thousands of children a day off from school.
"I used to like snow and ice skating and stuff like that, but this is crazy," John Alaniz said on a Chicago corner, a black fur hat with ear flaps almost concealing his face as snow blew through the streets.
Blizzard warnings were posted across northern Illinois and Indiana, with up to a foot of snow forecast today in the Chicago area and southeastern Wisconsin, and 20 inches possible by Tuesday morning in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan, the National Weather Service said.
It was the biggest storm in the Chicago area since the city was buried by 21 inches of snow in January 1999, the National Weather Service said.
Temperatures fell below the freezing mark as far south as Texas – where snow flakes were possible in El Paso – and wind chills plummeted to 51 below zero in North Dakota.
Blowing snow and cold closed schools in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Farther south, icy roads kept youngsters home in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, which had hundreds of traffic accidents.
Students at St. Clement School on Chicago's North Side were told shortly before noon that classes were canceled for the rest of the day and Tuesday.
"Everybody just jumped up. We were so excited!" said 7-year-old Margaret Anne Kellas, a second-grader whose plans included holding a snowball fight and making a snowman family.
Less excited were the thousands of travelers stranded when Chicago's Midway and O'Hare airports – two of the busiest hubs in America – canceled about 75 percent of departing flights, affecting connections to many other parts of the nation.
By afternoon, United Airlines had canceled 363 of 434 scheduled departures at O'Hare and had 742 weather cancellations systemwide out of 2,300 flights, according to a recording at the airline's headquarters.
American Airlines canceled nearly 550 of its 700 departures and arrivals at O'Hare, a spokeswoman said. Flights also were canceled at airports in Milwaukee and Detroit, and Delta called off flights between Chicago and Atlanta.
Andre Sanchez of Los Angeles headed to the airport in Chicago anyway, hoping there would still be a flight out.
"We brought games and other things; what else can you do?" said Sanchez, 46, who was traveling with his wife and three daughters.
A Sun Country Airlines plane slid off a runway shortly after landing at O'Hare, but none of the 66 people aboard was injured, said airline spokeswoman Tammy Lee. A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 slid off an icy taxiway late Sunday at Kansas City International Airport, but no one was hurt.
In Michigan, the state House and Senate offices closed and Tuesday's sessions were postponed.
Shoppers picked store shelves clean of storm supplies, and by 1 p.m., there was no windshield washer fluid left at Jefferson-Chene Shell station in Detroit. And no scrapers or brushes, either.
Twenty snow blowers went out the door in less than two hours at a Sears in Lincoln, Neb. "I think they waited until the last minute," said store employee Bob Rung.
Shoppers crowding Martin's supermarket in Elkhart, Ind., were taking the storm in stride, manager Stan Mast said.
"We had a lot of people coming in and buying their baking supplies," he said. "I've heard several people say they are going to try and get some Christmas baking done."

Manchester United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer smiles before the Premier League match with Fulham at Craven Cottage in London February 9, 2019.
"[But] there are so many players; Pogba, Rashford, Lukaku, Mata, Sanchez".
"At the moment I'm just concentrating on getting us up the table", said Solskjaer. "He came to the dressing room". The last-ditch, winning games at the end, winning points at the end, that was fantastic.
This was the latest in a long line of concerning displays by Fulham, who look bereft of confidence and ideas at a vital stage of the season. This game was really important.
"We are in a unsafe situation [in the league] and I told my players that it's important to show to our fans we are alive and try to do our best until the end". PSG would be the real test for the Old Trafford club as the French side has been in terrific form and could be the toughest opponent so far for Solskjaer.

Chelsea Handler and Tomi Lahren to butt heads in live debate
Alex McLevy

Every year, it seems, civil discourse in the U.S.A. hits a new low. Actually, that's not entirely accurate—Americans have always talked to each other like we're pieces of human garbage, waiting to be taken to the curb, shipped to a barge somewhere in the middle of the ocean, and dropped into the watery depths. The problem is more that public spheres in which we expect there to be a modicum of dignity are being progressively robbed of what little remaining sense of respect and decorum may once have attached themselves to such arenas. The 20th century may have been a graveyard of utopian projects, but it did seem to contain the possibility of a political discourse not predicated on outright disgust and hatred of the other.
Luckily, we still have some willing to carry the torch for the American project of tolerance, open-mindedness, and disagreement without disparagement. These noble souls hold fast to the ideology of good neighbors, bound together by common interest, even if the political visions to which they ascribe diverge wildly in both concept and practice. A dream of the vox populi as caring acquaintances cohabiting town and country, united in care for one another despite conflicting views of the role of government and civil society. These people will come together to debate one another, in mutual respect and commitment to a better world. Oh, and simultaneously, somewhere else, the person who thought the title Uganda Be Kidding Me was a comedic masterstroke will be talking to that woman who thinks Syrian refugee children are cowards.
The Daily Beast reports Netflix show host Chelsea Handler is set to debate right-wing opportunist and sort-of talking head Tomi Lahren later this month at Politicon, a political convention set to launch its third outing July 29-30 in Pasadena, CA. Handler has spent the past few years slowly transitioning from making offensive jokes about minorities and reality-TV stars to providing thin analyses of political and social issues, all while still managing to not be terribly funny while doing so. Still, it's an evolution of sorts, or at least a lateral move, one that will now include having to treat Tomi Lahren as some sort of person with ideas serious enough that she can defend them in a genuine back-and-forth exchange, something Lahren has previously managed to achieve with Trevor Noah. The live conversation will hopefully go somewhat more smoothly than an earlier one Handler had planned with Anne Coulter, who presumably has since realized trying to be funny in the proximity of even mildly talented comedians isn't a good look for her.


On the right we have a 24 hour height tendency off the European model from Penn State E-Wall. In a typical pattern we have a ridge, trough, ridge, trough and so on. However, vorticity (a measure of spin) from Ana is noted in the model and can be seen as the small "kinks" in the area circled. While Ana will not have a noticeable effect on weather over Montana and points south, it will affect the pattern at upper levels for the eastern half of the country, which will have an effect on temperatures across the region by the end of the week.
While models were showing a large ridge over the eastern half of the country the past few days by the end of the week, a complete opposite is now the norm in the models. The GFS and EURO are lagging behind with the unusual influence of Ana in Pacific Ocean. The GFS and EURO are both showing this profound trough over the Midwest and points east by Halloween. The trough will allow the significant surge of colder Canadian air to filter in. Imagine pushing down on a pool of water and building your own "trough," the discontinuity made will fill in with an attempt to reach a balance.
Here are the 850mb temperatures off the GFS (left) and European (right) computer models. The robust GFS has temperatures of 10-14C below zero over the Great Lakes, which translates to high temperatures in the 30s. The Euro has highs in the 40s and 50s for the same region. No matter what model proves to be fully accurate, a below normal Halloween should be expected. I would expect the Official CPC 6-10 Day Outlook to be updated in the coming days to reflect this shot of colder air.

Normal People reviews
Overall, reviews of Normal People have been positive to glowing. Many critics have praised the performances of the lead actors. They also describe the numerous explicit sex scenes as intimate and passionate without being gratuitous. Here's a roundup of some Normal People reviews.
The New York Times: "Normal People" looks and sounds like a teen melodrama about falling in love and getting it on. But more than that, it's a double-barreled bildungsroman, an empathetic study of two young people coming, together, of age."
NPR: "It's a lovely series, not just to binge, but perhaps to dole out to yourself a couple of episodes at a time. It's also the kind of project that looks easy to do well but emphatically isn't. And for audiences who may be mostly new to both of these actors — she's appeared here and there; he is a stunning talent for someone who is genuinely just starting out in television — it's a treat to see them work so well together."
Vulture: "In its initial three episodes, Normal People sets a precedent for what will become a signature aspect of the series: sex scenes that are explicit, tender, and extraordinarily intimate ... The series leaves pretty much no body part unexposed, and yet the sex never seems gratuitous."
Rolling Stone: "Of the show's two young stars, much is asked, and even more is given. They are spectacular — apart, but especially together — at conveying the vulnerability and longing essential to making a love story like this work."
BBC: "It's unusual too to find an adaptation that not only tells a story faithfully, but also builds on that story, making you want to turn back to the original source material and read it with these new images in mind."

Land Acquisition Bill was recently passed by the Union Cabinet. Though it ensures more rights to the farmers, Land Acquisition Bill will in fact cause the price hike, opine Real estate experts.
With the approval of Land Acquisition Bill, the consent of the land owners has become mandatory for all real estate projects. This bill seldom helps the real estate builders but it certainly helps the farmers. The farmers are empowered in a better way.
There was a fall in the price appreciation in 2012. This situation will be worsened with the implementation of Land Acquisition Bill. It cut short many rights of the real estate builders. It has been termed rightly as land owners friendly. Just by being a "land -owner –friendly", how does it help the real estate sector? No clear cut answer in any way!
Many real estate experts opined that the arrival of Land Acquisition Bill will shoot up property prices. Property prices will be rocketing. As per the new bill land owners have more rights on their land. Their consent has become mandatory. Though consent is limited to 80 % and not 100 %, there is no difference at all.
Many real estate builders have said that they purchase property with full consent. Niranjan Hiranandani, MD of Hiranandani Constructions said that they purchase the properties with cent per cent consent of the land owners. Yet he opined that Land Acquisition Bill would reduce the land owners' resistance.
Lalit Kumar Jain, the National President of CREDAI, strongly criticizing the Land Acquisition Bill said that the bill was entirely against the real estate industry. How this bill benefits real estate builders when land owners are given an upper hand, he asked furiously.
He cautioned that the worst thing to hit the real estate market of the country is property price hike. This will be severe in the housing segment, he cautioned.
Land Acquisition Bill will make real estate developers reluctant to go forward with bigger projects. This bill also will dishearten the newcomers. With all these how this bill will become a real estate friendly one. Standing ton the shoes of land owners this bill is definitely a good one. Some real estate builders like DLF said that they will go forward with their future plans only after realizing the real impact of this new bill.
The officials of Hiranandani and DLF reported that they normally acquire land with full consent. Jones Lang LaSalle India's Chairman and Country Chief, Mr. Anuj Puri, said that the bill will inversely affect the housing demand. The home buyers will be disheartened by the unaffordable prices. It will create lower demand.

Alabama football: Bill O'Brien expected to become next Crimson Tide OC in solid move from Nick Saban
Bill O'Brien is likely returning to the college ranks with Alabama.
While Nick Saban deserves the lion's share of the credit for creating an Alabama offense that was dominant enough to get them in the national championship, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian helped turn Saban's offense from a run-first attack into an aerial circus. With Sarkisian leaving to become the head coach at Texas, Saban has reportedly zeroed in on former Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien as his replacement.
Per Bruce Feldman, O'Brien is expected to return to college by agreeing to a contract that would have him follow Sarkisian as the Crimson Tide OC. Despite what Texans fans will tell you, this is a solid move by Saban.
As I reported last week Bill O'Brien, the former #Texans and Penn State head coach visited Tuscaloosa about replacing Steve Sarkisian as Alabama's OC.. I'm hearing that deal is expected to happen in the next few days.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) January 12, 2021
Bill O'Brien can get back to his play-calling roots with Alabama
While O'Brien only had two losing seasons in his seven seasons with the Texans, four of which ended with him in the postseason, Texans fans were irritated with his questionable coaching decisions.
The NFL might not be the best place for O'Brien, but his success as an offensive coordinator in the pros and as a head coach at Penn State following Joe Paterno's dismissal shows that when he doesn't have such crushing expectations, he can be a solid play designer and offensive mind.
Considering that Saban could've hired someone like Adam Gase or promote one of the innumerable assistant coaches on this roster, getting an offensive mind with proven success at the pro and collegiate level to replace Sarkisian is a huge victory for Nick and the Tide. What better place to rehab your stock as a coach than Tuscaloosa, where O'Brien will get his hands on dozens of elite recruits.

NEW YORK—Renaissance Hotels' new U.S. flagship property, the Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel, which opened in Manhattan on March 21, 2016, caters to the next generation business traveler who seeks adventure and a connection with the local neighborhood on every business trip. Design studio Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) captures the authenticity and glamour of the city through innovative technology.
To bring the design to life, Beers collaborated with Roger Parent of interdisciplinary technology firm Réalisations Inc. Montreal. New York City's first "living" hotel comprises changing digital experiences inspired by the fashion and artistic industries in the neighborhood which are an integral and informative element of the design. Specifically designed to interact with visitors from the moment they enter the hotel, the property features ambient intelligent corridors that respond to human movement, digitally enhanced elevator banks, and a never-before-seen Discovery Portal Powered by Time Out that showcases hyper-local neighborhood guides on a user-friendly digital alcove to be accessed with the point of a finger or tap of a toe. A four-story LED digital clock at the top of the building will also bring the hotel to life and will add a beacon of light to the city's skyline.
Using New York City as his muse, Beers' vision was to capture the energy of the neighborhood by juxtaposing high-low design components, such as smooth millwork and polished marble against the rough texture of exposed concrete walls, to create elegant yet edgy public spaces and guest rooms. The purposeful disparity of materials was new to Beers, known for his work at properties including Miami's Fontainebleau and the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas, making the Renaissance New York Midtown unlike any project he has worked on.
To fully integrate the local Garment District into the hotel design, Beers concepted an art program based on literal references to this surrounding industry. With the help of art marketplace Indie Walls, Beers commissioned original works from contemporary artists like Andre Woolery, whose piece uses varying sizes of custom-colored red buttons pinned to a painted canvas to create a tactile, fluidly abstract pattern. Brooklyn-based artist Abby Goodman created a piece with more than 50 real, painted stiletto heels. Sculptural metal pieces by local NYC artist Carlos Mare (a.k.a. 'Mare 139'), whose unique style of three-dimensional graffiti has been exhibited in galleries around the world, are showcased in the public spaces. Vibrant photographic collages by urban photographer Nicolas Ruel are projected onto exposed concrete panels which flank the front desk, depicting various New York City scenes.
Surprising design elements are found throughout the hotel. Life-size images are etched on the back walls of the elevator cabs and each time the elevator doors open on the ground floor, guests will be treated to specially-curated digital imagery showcasing local artists and neighborhood experiences. Timed to mirror the opening and closing of the elevators, the projected digital displays will always be evolving and the hotel will be visually different on each and every visit.
The hotel boasts 348 guest rooms, including seven executive suites and one empire suite. Each guest room offers a sophisticated neutral palette with pops of purple or grey throughout the bedding and upholstery. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the spacious rooms use pale finishes, maximize natural light, and adhere to an uncluttered aesthetic. A gradient frosted-glass shower wall separates the all-white Italian marble en-suite bathroom from the sleeping area.
On the sixth floor guests will find a sleek Lobby Bar, Library Lounge, a clandestine DJ booth and Club Lounge for Elite Marriott Rewards members and preferred guests. The hotel offers 4,500 square-feet of meeting space which can be separated into smaller conference rooms with glass air walls. Floor-to-ceiling windows will offer views of the city, while stylized inspirational quotes from fashion greats such as Coco Chanel and Oscar de la Renta painted onto the raw concrete back wall, pay homage to the neighborhood.
Rock and Reilly's gourmet gastropub, on the fifth floor, offers an 8,000 square-foot outdoor terrace with a retractable roof, private cabanas, comfortable seating, and two fully-stocked bars.

Tour Down Under 2015: Who will win?
Cycling Weekly picks out the leading contenders in this year's Tour Down Under (January 20-25)
Stephen Puddicombe January 14, 2015 12:35 pm
With 2014 champion Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) sidelined with injury, the 2015 Santos Tour Down Under will register a new champion this January. But who will it be?
We rate the chances of the main contenders for the opening WorldTour event of the season.
Richie Porte, Sky Of all the talented Australian stage racers in the peloton, Richie Porte is the only one currently at the prime in his career. The Sky rider turns 30 at the end of the month and will feel that this is the year to finally fulfil his clear potential. Winning the Tour Down Under would be a great way to start, and victory in the Australian Time Trial Championships last week suggests he has the form to do so.
Cadel Evans, BMC Cadel Evans may be retiring from the pro peloton, but the 37-year old is far from a washed-up old star no longer capable of competing. Last year he managed to win the Giro del Trentino and finish eighth at the Giro, as well second overall at the Tour Down Under. The ex-Tour winner and former World Champion will be determined to end his illustrious career on a high, and the romantic's dream of winning his home race is a very real possibility.
Tom Dumoulin, Giant-Alpecin 2015 looks set to be a big year from Dumoulin. The Dutchman demonstrated his impressive talent sporadically last year, particularly in the second half of the season when he finished third at the Eneco Tour and took bronze in the World Time Trial Championships. Although he would have benefited from a time trial, Dumoulin is quick enough on short climbs to be a serious contender for the overall.
Michael Rogers, Tinkoff-Saxo Another of Australian cycling's veterans, Rogers is still performing to a remarkably high standard with one Vuelta and two Tour stages last year. However, he hasn't podiumed in the Tour Down Under since 2002, and the race may be too early in the season for him to be in top form. Team director Lars Michaelsen has managed expectations by claiming the aim is a top five finish.
Daryl Impey, Orica-GreenEdge In the absence of last year's winner Simon Gerrans and star rider Michael Matthews, there isn't an obvious leader for Orica-GreenEdge. South African Daryl Impey could be the best shout, having finished seventh last year and possessing a quick turn of pace both in sprints and on small climbs, although comments from sports director Matt White suggests that stage wins will be the goal rather than the overall. As an Australian outfit this race means a lot more to Orica than it does to the other WorldTour teams, so expect Impey and his teammates to already be in good form.
Geraint Thomas, Sky Porte may enter the race as Sky's leader, but the parcours may suit the punchier Geraint Thomas better. The British rider typically starts the season very well, as was the case in 2013 when he won a stage, the points classification and finished second overall. Should he be placed ahead of Porte ahead of the crucial Willunga Hill stage, Thomas may take over leadership.
Rohan Dennis, BMC Second overall at the Tour of California and fifth at the World Time Trial championships last year suggest that the 24-year old Dennis will be the future of Australian cycling. This year, however, he is likely to play second fiddle in BMC to Cadel Evans. The absence of a time trial, his specialist discipline, will also dent his chances of registering a high result in the overall.

Marcel Kittel, Giant-Alpecin
Big German Marcel Kittel looks likely to repeat last year's win at the People's Choice Classic, and after that is comfortably the strongest sprinter at the Tour Down Under in the absence of Andre Greipel. How much success he has will depend on how well his rusty early-season legs can drag his large frame over the hills that precede the flat finishes.
Heinrich Haussler, IAM Cycling
Classics specialist Haussler will be easy to spot in the peloton in his Australian National Championships jersey, which he earned winning the road race last week. That ride suggests he has the form to do well at the Tour Down Under, and the parcours balance of sprint finishes and small hills suits his characteristics perfectly.
Mark Renshaw, Etixx-QuickStep
The absence of leader Mark Cavendish could mean that star lead-out man Mark Renshaw gets a chance to ride for himself on home roads, although team leadership could be assigned to fellow sprinter Gianni Meersman. Regardless of which the team opts to work for, Etixx-QuickStep will challenge for stage wins in the bunch sprints.

Magnificent depth of colour displaying an impenetrable inky black core with a deep dark red black hue. Lifted aromas of ripe black cherries and liquorice laced with pepper are underscored by vanillin cedar, dried meats and spice. Big rich and concentrated with plenty of underlying structure the palate is awash with succulent black cherry, liquorice and blackberry flavours which overlay a backdrop of spicy vanillin cedar and pepper. Opulent yet structured textural feel with a slightly chewy finish and robust tannins. Excellent power with a long spicy aftertaste of ripe black cherries, blackberries, liquorice, vanillin cedar, dried meats and blackpepper.


Hurricanes can affect all of us. They affect the servicemen and women and their families the most. You may want to help the Military Families that you know. Imagine if your spouse or loved one was serving. How would you prepare and lock down for the hurricane? There is a lot of heavy work to do. There are also jobs that require multiple strong people. For example, moving your generator (if you have one) out to the side of your house is a heavy job. You also need to make sure you have enough fuel for it. Someone needs to be able to get the fuel for the generator and also for their vehicle(s). There may be long lines for the fuel. Another example of heavy work is moving the outside furniture to the inside. Sometimes moving the furniture requires multiple people. Usually, when someone is deployed, there is only one adult at home. This means that they will need all the help that they can get! During the storm, young children and/or pets may become nervous. They might need comforting. The child(ren) might already be worried about the parent who is away serving their country and also be worried about Sandy. The neighbors could help by telling the kids that everything's going to be O.K. and help with all of the preparations. Please help our Military Families as we prepare for Sandy. Please check on your loved ones and your neighbors during the storm and contact the Military Families in your area.

How should the European Court of Human Rights best 'balance' respect for the sovereignty of states with protection of the human rights of their citizens? The Court's theory of subsidiarity must inform its margin of appreciation doctrine when Protocol 15 includes these two concepts in the Preamble of the European Convention on Human Rights. Issues for the Court and for researchers include aspects the doctrine of the margin of appreciation: the proportionality test and the 'European consensus'; and a more justifiable conception of subsidiarity.

Lars Martinson is a cartoonist with an academic approach. His latest work is founded on principles of East Asian calligraphy, which he studied intensively with a grant he received from the Japanese government. Lars has been cartooning since he was a kid, but his experiences traveling and living abroad have shaped both his writing and his illustration styles. The central character in his graphic novel Tonoharu is loosely based on Martinson's own experiences living and teaching in Japan through the JET program. Martinson uses calligraphy pens and dip brushes to create his aesthetic. The result is spare, thick-lined people set on intricate backdrops that feature extensive cross hatching. The scenes in his work portray Japanese cityscapes, classrooms, restaurants, and ordinary locations that aren't your typical tourist destinations. In 2007, he was honored to receive the Xeric Grant for Comic Book Self-Publishers to publish Tonoharu: Part One.

Don't let auto insurance premiums eat away at your savings. Stuff your wallet with these money saving car insurance tips.
Your driving record is literally in your hands, so steer clear of high premiums and drive safely and within the laws of the road. At-fault collisions and traffic tickets add up and can cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, in unnecessarily high insurance premiums over the years.
Monthly payments are convenient, but did you know that many companies charge a little extra to cover the cost of administering them? If you can afford to pay your premium annually—in one lump sum—then chances are at the end of the year you'll have paid less for your coverage.
Save five to 10 per cent by raising your deductibles. A deductible is the part of an insurance claim you pay so the higher your deductible, the lower your car insurance premium. Keep it within reach though because the deductible amount is what you'll have to fork over if you need to submit a claim.
If you buy your home, condo, or contents coverage from the same provider who insures your vehicle then you'll likely benefit from a discount in the range of five to 15 per cent off of one, or even both of your policies.
Many car insurance companies offer a discount for buying winter tires and driving with them over the season. The winter tire discount will usually save you about five per cent off your premium.
As of January 1, 2016 all Ontario car insurance providers must offer a winter tire discount. Make sure your insurance provider knows about your winter tires to take advantage of the discount.
It may come as a surprise to you, but insurance rates often change. In Ontario for example, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario releases the auto insurance rate changes that they've approved every three months. Sometimes just a few insurers change their rates, and other times dozens do. As a result, if you haven't compared auto insurance quotes lately, there's a good chance you're overpaying because the provider who gave you the best rate last time around, may not be the one who offers you the best car insurance rate this year.
How much could you save? Well it varies, but on average, InsuranceHotline.com shoppers save $700 after shopping their car insurance rates. Squash your high insurance premiums and compare auto insurance quotes today.
Thank you for your web site we got a quote from an insurer and we purchased our insurance from them. We saved $700 a year on our car and home insurance.


How long will we keep the dynamic duo up front?
Till uncle Roland sells the fuckers!
Huge improvement in Karlan since he left the Ahearne in Crawley. Shirt must be lighter.
Credit to Grant he really has knuckled down and made himself one of the first names on the team sheet and we must get him tied down.
I dont know what has clicked for him but he is a different player this season, weather the loan to Crawley, having a manager who believes in him playing him as a striker or the summer events being a wake up call but whatever it is is credit to him for working hard and making it happen.
But, can we keep them?
I suspect that the real difference for Grant is that he is simply older, stronger and more experienced. He was thrust unexpectedly and far too soon into the first team as a newly turned seventeen year old because of injuries to more experienced players and has had to cope with multiple changes of managers and systems. Even as a eighteen year old in a struggling team people were writing him off. His loan at Crawley, away from the carping and criticism has obviously served him well.
One of the very few things I would give Robinson credit for. Sending him to Crawley under the guidance of Harry Kewell who played up front on a regular basis, was what the lad needed.
Fantastic record. I really can see both getting to 20 in the league this season.
For Grant specifically, if you look at his form from the loan to Crawley and carried on to where we are now, he has scored 21 goals in his last 39 league appearances.
For Taylor, he scored 14 league goals last season for AFC Wimbledon, in 46 games - 18 goals in all competitions. So far he has scored 11 in 25 for us in the league - 14 in 26 in all competitions.
Both have been brilliant. The numbers suggest it, their performances suggest it. We must keep both as long as possible because they could be a huge, key reason for us to get promoted this season. Not too many teams will have two strikers with around 20 goals in the league.
Taylor has an excellent all round game - still amazed he's never played at a higher level.
yeah absolutely. Actually thought the finish was fairly poor but it hit the net, that's the main thing.
To get money for Magennis and get Taylor in for free was a very shrewd bit of work.
Thought the Hales/Flanagan partnership would have been more than 39. Would like to see what the Hales/Horsfield partnership produced as they must have been next in the list.
Till Roland sells them / they get injured.
pretty impressive from.mid fiftys to ealry 60s. must have been a great time to be watching Charlton. which year did.we fall out of the top flight ?
And I was born in 55.
1) His up turn in form started before he went to Crawley, he'd started to get some opportunities from the bench here and scored a couple of goals and you could see his confidence building. Whenever I'd seen him play before that, he'd always looked lively and never hid, but the confidence wasn't there. That Crawley move cemented the confidence but I always think it's a bit overlooked that he was heading in the right direction before he left.
2) He's getting games in his proper position - he's not a winger, he's a striker and it's no shock he looks better in that position.
I'd be happy with 35 goals between the two of them, but they seem to have such a good understanding and the competition of outscoring each other seems to be motivating them too so 40 plus does not seem unrealistic at all.
The more you think about it, Gobbo's tactical masterstroke of playing one up front with that one being Magennis doesn't look all that clever.
More significantly I thought was how he out muscled the defender to get on the ball. Has added that to his pace.
Plus finally playing regularly and up front , not wide.
I must have been the only one gutted when he went on Loan last season, thought he gave us a different option which we didnt have, PACE UP FRONT!
Grant had already started to score goals BEFORE going to Crawley.
Don't doubt the loan did him good but we'll never know if he could have done as well playing in a front two for us.
Yes, I suspect if he;d stayed and played regularly up front he;d have got goals for us too - maybe not as many, but what difference it might have made to have him available for those play-off games instead of Ajose or experimenting with Kaikai.

Nine dead bodies recovered from well, case solved
(Juhi Aishwary, Intern Journalist): The Telangana police claimed that all the nine people whose bodies were found dead from a well here last week were murdered. These brutal murders were committed by a 24-year-old man to hide a woman's murder.
On Monday, police arrested the killer Sanjay Kumar Yadav, three days after the bodies of a total of nine people, including six members of the same family, were removed from the well in Gorekunta village of Warangal. Sanjay, who hails from Bihar, confesses his crime. Warangal Police Commissioner V Ravindra said that the police would ensure that he gets maximum punishment. He told that Sanjay, who has been living here for six years, had mixed sleeping pills in the food. While unconscious, he dragged everyone to the premises of a factory to make sacks and threw them into a well.
48-year-old Maqsood, the head of the victim's family, came here from West Bengal 20 years ago. The bodies of Maqsood, his wife, daughter, and three-year-old grandson were extracted from the well on Thursday. A day later, the bodies of two of Maqsood's sons, a friend, and two others working in the factory were removed from the well. Maqsood's wife threatened Sanjay that she would complain to the police about her missing niece. This woman was also murdered by Sanjay on March 6.
Sanjay had been living with her and her three children for four years. He took her on a train in West Bengal on the pretext of meeting her family to talk about marriage. During the journey, he strangled the woman by throwing sleeping pills in the buttermilk and threw her out of the train.
On returning, she told the woman's children that she had gone to her relative's house. But Maqsood's wife suspected him. On 20 May, Maqsood had a son's birthday; he arrived at his house that day. He added sleeping pills to the food, which after eating all became unconscious.

Hi, please take our quick survey and tell us what you think about the Journeys website. Thank you!
/ Journeys / 'Life is precious'
'Life is precious'
Nic's life was thrown into turmoil when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. During treatment it was discovered she also has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – a condition which runs in her family.
Originally from Ireland, Nic, now 45, came to New Zealand when she was 23 to explore the country and work as a scuba diving instructor. She met and married a Kiwi man and had two children, Conor and Kenzie.
In 2005, it was discovered that Nic had breast cancer and her daughter Kenzie had an Ewing's sarcoma at the top of her spine.
"Kenzie was diagnosed in April and I was diagnosed in the July." Nic explains. "My marriage broke down and life was just completely thrown into turmoil. Life is unpredictable, you just don't know what is going to happen. So that was the start of my journey with the health service and with serious health conditions."
Unfortunately, Kenzie passed away at the end of 2005 at the age of three. It changed the family's life forever.
"I still had a son to look after and I wanted to give him a good life. I didn't want this to ruin his childhood and ultimately ruin his adulthood. For myself I turned to my sport as a way of coping. I always liked solitary sport, like my scuba diving, because it was meditative. When you're under the water you're not talking to anybody, it's wonderful. That really helped me cope and deal with losing Kenzie, and also as a way of coping to get through the treatment protocols that I was under."
Living with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy runs in Nic's family, but it wasn't discovered in her until her heart function was tested as part of the treatment for her cancer. Her heart function was stable, so she was monitored every two years by a cardiologist at North Shore Hospital.
"Through my 30's my heart function was fine, and I continued to do adventure races and triathlons, marathons, rafting trips and hiking trips, you know, just embracing life really and also raising Conor and doing wonderful activities with him."
In 2013, while training for an Ironman event in Wanaka, Nic noticed that she was struggling a bit on uphill runs and bike rides but didn't think anything of it.
"I just thought, big girl's blouse, it's all in your mind. So I ignored the symptoms that were staring me straight in the face. On race day itself I still didn't feel that I was up for doing this big event and I had a panic attack pretty much and couldn't do the swim."
Two months later Nic visited her cardiologist for her normal check-up, which revealed her heart function had dropped by 10%. This signaled the need to start medicating with beta blockers and ace inhibitors. It also meant it was time to slow down.
"That was quite a severe blow to me because it robbed me of what I had used throughout my whole adult life as a main coping mechanism, as an enjoyment, as a quality of life thing and finding balance, which was my sport. So, it was really quite a tough thing to come to terms with."
Moving on with life
Nic has never been one to let what life throws at her get her down.
"I don't tend to hold a pity party for myself for terribly long or be a 'Debbie downer'. It was like, this is what it is."
She started using an electric bike instead of her usual push bike, cut back on the ocean swims and began walking the dog instead of running the dog.
"I also came to terms with the fact that I didn't have to say, 'well I wish I had done all these things that I had planned to do', because I had actually done a lot of them. I dived nearly a thousand dives – most of them here in New Zealand. I rafted six of the big rivers, mountain biked the North and South Island, and some of the big trails. I'd done the Milford Track. There was more that I wanted to do but alas, that can't happen.
"But again, I think well, now I'm in my mid-forties and reality is I'd be slowing down anyhow. It's an excuse to get helicopter rides as opposed to doing the hard yards! I have adapted my life, but I haven't stopped doing sport and exercise, it's just been tapered – a lot!"
Nic's heart function is held at 41% and she is working with her cardiologist to manage her symptoms and medication. Nic's father, who also had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, needed an ICD as a result of his illness and Nic is aware that she may need one too in the future, but will address that need when it is necessary.
Inspiration and advice
Nic's inspiration in life is her daughter, Kenzie.
"What's always kept me going is my daughter. My three-year-old child was diagnosed with a progressive illness and subsequently died. She didn't get to live a life – I do, and I think as tough as life is – it is very precious and I'm not being flippant about it.
"Life isn't designed to be easy, but I think you've got to look at the moments in life that do bring you pure joy because that's what makes it worth living."
Nic's advice for others is that, "it's OK for it all to be about you and what brings you joy. It can be simply reading a book or watching your Netflix show. You've got to find something that will bring you joy and help you cope with it and not turn to maladaptive coping mechanisms which don't help."
"It's looking after yourself, having a good diet, exercising when you can and maintaining a good body weight. I think that's something we all struggle with as we get older. It's making sure your body can function as well as it can even with the impairments. We can't leave it all to the cardiologists, there's got to be some sense of personal responsibility."

ERCS challenges Scottish Government over bathing water status
Today ERCS made a complaint to Environmental Standards Scotland regarding the government's unlawful approach to the designation of bathing waters in Scotland.
'Bathing waters' are areas which are popular for bathing, and can include rivers, inland lochs, and seas. The reason why communities want designated 'bathing water' status is because water quality is monitored at these sites, helping to protect bathers from health risks such as sewage pollution.
What the law says
The Bathing Waters (Scotland) Regulations 2008 require the Scottish Government to designate a bathing water where they expect a 'large number' of people to bathe there.
The Scottish Government's interpretation of a 'large number' is that it requires a minimum of 150 people to have used a beach or bathing water over a single day. This compares poorly to the rest of the UK.
Bathing waters guidance for England states that there is 'no set limit' of bathers required for designation.
The guidance for Wales explains that, 'We have not set a numerical figure on the numbers of bathers, as all bathing waters are different and one figure may not be suitable for all sites'.
The Northern Irish guidance has a much lower threshold of 'over 45 bathers on at least one occasion or over 100 beach users on at least two occasions across a review period'.
Scotland is the most difficult part of the UK to have a bathing water designated. The Scottish Government's 150 people minimum threshold means that the designation of any bathing waters on rivers or smaller beaches which are popular bathing sites is effectively impossible, due to the high minimum bathers threshold.
The need for reform
The recent refusal of bathing water status for Almondell in West Lothian shows how the Scottish Government's approach is a barrier to designating bathing waters. The Scottish Government refused that application in May 2022 because the application 'did not demonstrate large numbers of bathers'.
The 150 bathers minimum threshold is far in excess of any reasonable definition of a large number. It also precludes the Scottish Government from considering the various other matters which it is supposed to have regard to when deciding whether to designate.
The application process is also problematic. The Scottish Government limits the types of evidence which can be used to support an application (for example excluding survey numbers taken during organised events) without justification.
ERCS has raised this issue directly with the Scottish Government without success. We are hopeful that Environmental Standards Scotland will take the necessary enforcement action to ensure that the Scottish Government removes the minimum threshold entirely, and addresses the deficiencies in the application process.

Q: Cohomology of $SU(n)$ Context:
I am trying to show that $H^{\ast}(SU(n))\cong\Lambda[x_{3},\dots x_{2n-1}]$.
My approach was to use induction- $SU(2)\cong S^3$ so $H^{\ast}(SU(2))\cong H^{\ast}(S^3)\cong\Lambda[x_{3}]$ so the base case is easy. Then, I tried to apply the Serre spectral sequence on
$$SU(n)\to SU(n+1)\to S^{2n+1}$$
assuming that $H^{\ast}(SU(n))\cong\Lambda[x_{3},\dots x_{2n-1}]$. The $E_{2}$ page will look like:
$$E_{2}^{p,q}=H^{p}(S^{2n+1};H^{q}(SU(n))=\begin{cases}H^{q}(SU(n)) & \text{ if } p=0,2n+1 \\
0 & \text{ otherwise } \end{cases}$$
However, I realised that I wasn't sure if I could deduce what $H^{p}(SU(n))$ was from $H^{\ast}(SU(n))$.
So my question is: can I deduce $H^{p}(SU(n))$ from $H^{\ast}(SU(n))$? If so, how and what will it be?
