Would you marry someone in a wheelchair? I did. His name is Jason Hall, and this is our story. Everyone knew Jason''s disability. He lived almost thirty-three years in a wheelchair. They all saw our hardships and hospital stays and barriers and obstacles. But the longer we lived, the more we understood that everyone has something. Everyone has a struggle to overcome. A heartbreak to heal. A tragedy to bear. A loss to feel deeply. A chance to persevere. We tried not to compare our pain with anyone else''s. Everyone has to do the tough stuff. We started writing this book together - mostly his story but I was there too. Side by side. Planning and laughing and arguing about the best stories to tell. Remembering and thinking about what we have learned in life. Deciding the purpose. Focusing in on the message. And then Jason died. This is our story. It''s full of people and moments that taught us things. We invite you to take it in. Because we want you to become a part of our story too.

The engaging series continues with the introduction of a character whose life is about to get a lot more interesting. Meet Leonard--an average guy living a life that leaves a lot to be desired. But when Leonard is "pulled" into his alternate life as a Trigger, it gives him a fleeting glimpse of a life that he can only dream of-- literally.

Prepare yourself for the mind-bending conclusion of the 6-part story, "Pulled!" In an exhaustive search to find answers to the ever-changing world around him, Carter Lennox takes a trip into his own subconscious. What he finds will not only shock him, it just may kill him!

Carter Lennox''s life is spiraling out of control, and things only get worse when he spends a day following what appears to be his doppelgu008anger. And the longer Lennox follows, the more surreal his world becomes.

Life used to be so simple for Carter Lennox, but after a series of odd (and sometimes deadly) occurrences around him, he''s no longer certain what to expect from the Ethicorp-run world. After a hypnotherapy session, Carter soon learns a few answers that will leave him spinning.

After Carter Lennox and Deirdre Myers come face to face with the mysterious "Triggers"Ñnot to mention with their own deathsÑthe two are determined to understand the mysterious police force and their possible connections to a series of grisly underworld murders.

The thrill-packed ongoing series continues as Deirdre MyersÑa no-nonsense investigative reporter for the daily newsfeed The Relative TruthÑlooks for answers in a series of mysterious murders and their relation to the shadowy Triggers.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow, where anyone could be a Trigger…even you. In the not-too-distant future, 87 percent of America''s corporations have been consolidated into one government-sanctioned corporate entity: Ethicorp. The result has allowed our country''s citizens to live safely and securely in a clean, terror-free and productive environment. Society is dosed on nonstop Vid feeds, feel-good drugs, clean sex and low crime. And most people happily embrace Ethicorp''s corporate motto: "We Get the Bad Out!" This is the world of TRIGGER, a futuristic thriller written by Jason Hall (BEWARE THE CREEPER) with dazzling art by John Watkiss (SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE) that captures the look and feel of Blade Runner, Minority Report and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! To keep society so "shiny," Ethicorp secretly controls legions of high-tech killers-known on the street as "Triggers"-that act as one-man (or woman) judge, jury and executioner whenever Ethicorp sees something "bad." But be careful, because "bad," like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. Don''t miss this thrilling series, brought to you by the fine folks at Ethicorp and VERTIGO.

This study investigates how three distinct cultures – Maliseet, French, and British – engaged with and transformed the ecology of the Wəlastəkw/rivière St. Jean/St. John River, the largest river system in the Maritimes and New England. Ranging three centuries, ca. 1550‐1850, it examines cultural interactions relative to the river’s fish, banks, and flow to assess ecological changes. By developing comparisons among Maliseet, French, and British relationships to the river, it analyzes how cultural groups modified and expanded on the ecology of other peoples. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, including Maliseet oral traditions and language, archaeological surveys, scientific studies, historic maps and paintings, as well as diaries, letters, and reports of the waterway and its banks, this research makes significant contributions to a number of scholarly fields: river ecologies and human adaptations of them, Maliseet history, seigneurial settlement in colonial societies, Loyalist ecology, colonial and municipal legal history, historical cartography, and the role of ecological knowledge in governance and environmental activism. Moreover, it contributes to early modern North American environmental history, as well as global studies of rivers. This study brings a historical perspective to pressing economic and political issues facing the watershed today, including conflicts over natural resource use, the impacts of dam construction and removal, climate change adaptations, flood mitigation and prevention, fisheries conservation, and the effects of invasive species. While most historical scholarship on the region is focused on specific linguistic and ethnic groups, this study bridges these divides, bringing together Maliseet, Acadian, and British histories into a single study. The wider temporal and cultural scope and the centrality of the Wəlastəkw/rivière St. Jean/St. John River to the study’s analysis offers a poignant reminder that humanity’s intimate relationship to nature has points of commonality that are as important to understand as our points of difference. This study attempts to do both.

The standard valuation technique - discounted cash flows (DCF) - estimates value as the present value of expected future cash flows. This technique is typically implemented under an assumption that investment policy is independent of prices. In reality, management responds to fluctuating commodity prices by altering investment policy, such that production expands in the high price scenario and reduces in response to low prices. Management''s ability to exercise these options to alter investment policy is valuable - approximately 30 percent of the value of high-growth, high volatility firms can be attributed to the value of embedded options (Hall, 2005). Since close to one-third of large, Australian-listed firms are using option pricing techniques to improve decision-making (Truong, Partington and Peat, 2005), this is likely to replace DCF as the standard valuation technique in the foreseeable future.

We measure the contribution of industry sector choice and individual stock selection to the performance of 3350 United States'' equity funds from 1980 to 2005. First, we demonstrate that sector choice makes a relatively greater contribution to portfolio variance, holding constant manager skill in identifying mispriced securities, and correcting for a bias in research methods previously applied to this issue. Second, using managers'' reported stock holdings, we estimate the actual contribution of industry sector versus security choice to portfolio returns. Active managers of funds with a preference for small stocks with a style preference ndash; value or growth ndash; generate abnormal returns above those achieved by less active managers, consistent with managers having style-specific investment skills. This relative performance is attributed to the incremental returns generated from security selection over sector choice. Security selection also explains significantly more variation in returns across funds. These results imply that active managers make relatively greater use of security selection in forming portfolios which differ from benchmark.
