Memos between Blair and Bush to be revealed in Chilcot Report
A cache of confidential memos from Tony Blair to George W Bush in the run up to the invasion of Iraq will be published this week among hundreds of declassified documents to be released alongside the Chilcot report.
Chilcot has to give unambiguous answers or he will have failed
The sheer skill in official obfuscation involved in the production of Sir John Chilcot's report into Britain's role in the Iraq War, due on Wednesday, is impressive. At 12 volumes and more than two million words, with the executive summary running to 200 pages alone, it seems designed for no one to read and grasp in its entirety. Launched seven years ago, it's late, too.

Social–chemical recognition is exhibited by all the Liolaemus lizards tested to date, except Liolaemus fitzgeraldi, which during post-hibernation did not discriminate chemosignals of same-sex individuals from a control. To clarify if L. fitzgeraldi is unique among the studied Liolaemus in lacking social–chemical recognition or if this was previously undetected, we recorded behavior during pre- and post-hibernation when confronted with chemosignals of conspecifics and from themselves. L fitzgeraldi showed self-recognition and seasonal changes in two exploratory behaviors. Potentially, conspecific recognition in L fitzgeraldi was undetected due to seasonality, but this species may rely comparatively less on chemical communication than congeners.

1. If it's curly, and you brush it out, you will look like an enchanted forest where a witch is hiding.
2. There is enough left over in your hairbrush every morning where you could make yourself a very nice sweater, if you wanted to.
3. If you try to brush your hair, there is basically a 50-50 chance that you will lose either the brush or your hair.
Every hair-styling tool you own is like a really bad guest who doesn't know when to leave. That is basically your life now.
4. And wherever you go, you leave a trail of broken hair brushes behind.
Your brushes are not mane enough for you. They just aren't.
5. Using a hair dryer is a really good way for you to cause a citywide power shortage.
You usually have to wait to dry your hair until all your roommates and significant others are gone for the day, unless you don't want them to be your roommates and significant others anymore.
6. You shed so much that you have to buy a pet dander vacuum, because every carpet you have is covered in hair.
You don't even own a pet. You are basically your own pet.
7. You don't need a tub stopper, because you carry around a portable drain-clogging device wherever you go, on your head.
It's your hair. Your hair loves drains. Your hair would just marry drains if it were allowed, which it is not.
8. Your shower walls always look like a crazy person's artwork.
I call this one, "I can't afford to call the plumber again today, and this is the only way to keep my hair away from its star-crossed lover, the drain."
9. You need about a billion curlers, which you can never keep track of, because they are always rolling away from you and getting lost, stuck, or broken, like little round 2-year-olds.
10. Curling irons are a joke. If you used one curling iron to do your entire head, you would be dead before you made it out the door.
At minimum, you would be very late.
11. Getting a haircut is a really easy way to quickly lose 5 pounds.
The hairdresser only took an inch off the bottom, but there's enough hair on the ground to knit together an entire cat.
12. It's easy to tell where you've been because everywhere you go you leave a trail of worn out hair accessories.
13. If you're gonna whip your hair, there is a good chance that someone is going to get hurt.
14. You have to use all of your hair care products by the handful. The damn. Handful.
15. You can try to tame it by putting it in a bun… which is too heavy to stay on your head.
This was how you tricked everyone into thinking you were tall enough to ride roller coasters as a kid.
16. Your hair loves to collect things. Like, really REALLY likes to collect anything it comes in contact with.
Frankly, your hair is a little bit of a hoarder. It really needs some help.
17. It is scientifically impossible to not end up with hair all over your food…
18. …and it is mathematically impossible to not end up with food in your hair.
It's not your fault that your hair is next door neighbors with the part of your body you use to consume food. Every time you eat it's like you have to clear a path, first.
19. Volumizing products make you look insane. Just literally insane.
Either that, or they don't stand a damn chance against the weight of your hair.
20. Other people seem to get extensions as frequently as you are giving Locks of Love donations.
How is your body making so much hair? How? Is it outsourcing hair production, or something? Is your scalp running some of sort of illegal hair heist ring? These are the only things that explain where all of this hair could have possibly come from.
21. You don't tell anyone about any of this stuff, so that they will keep being super jelly of your hair.
- Some Bernie-or-Busters protested Hillary Clinton's DNC speech, but a tightly organized plan — from chants to secret allies — kept heckling off TV.
- Sixteen people are reported dead after a hot air balloon crashed in Texas.
- Two brothers suspected of planning terror attacks have been arrested in Belgium, prosecutors say.

Sorie / Honduras
Hi, my name is Sorie and today's question is how many hours of homework should students have?
Personally, I think that maximum two hours because it is very important for kids to enjoy their time outdoors, to do activities in nature, play with friends and help family. I think nowadays students had spend a lot of time inside the houses, playing video games and I think that is making them lose their connection with nature that's why I think children should be encouraged to go outside and play with nature.
Answer these questions about the video.

More about those who generously donated to this giveaway …
Aaron Nigel Smith and the One World Chorus
Aaron Nigel Smith's ÔÇťCall To ActionÔÇŁ is to get kids moving. His 2012 release Welcome to the Village features the voices of more than 300 children from New York, Los Angeles, Portland and the Cura Rotary Home near Nairobi, Kenya. The CD sales are benefiting the music program at the Cura Home in Kenya. The CD won a 2012 Parents' Choice award. A father of two sons based in Lake Oswego, Aaron performs regularly at performing art centers, festivals, libraries, and schools. He has also toured with PBS Kids "Between the Lions Live" and the National Education Association's Read Across America campaign.
The Alphabeticians
Self made millionaires seeking out vigilante justice from a cave? No. Huge, terrifying, reptilian beasts from an ancient time? No. Space travelers from the other side of the universe trapped here because their ship ran out of fuel? Maybe, but no. Then who, or more precisely, what are The Alphabeticians? They are two guys (Mr. Hoo and Mr. E) who love playing quirky, funny, upbeat songs for kids and families. Think They Might Be Giants meets The Velvet Underground meets Schoolhouse Rock. Or something like that.
Rock, The Alphabeticians debut CD, was awarded top 10 best debut kids CDs for 2011 by online kids music site Zooglobble. It features 18 original songs, including "Metaphor", which was picked as a top 25 kid's song for 2011.
Junior, released in 2011, contains 18 more original songs with topics ranging from family to flying to food and other topics kids and parents both enjoy. PDX Kids Calendar called it "a must-have in any self-respecting kindie rocker's library."
Lori Henriques
Lori Henriques has been playing the piano and singing since childhood. Her songs have been aired on NPR, KOPB, and regularly on Sirius XM. LoriÔÇÖs award-winning first album of original childrenÔÇÖs music is ÔÇťsomething quite remarkable — an album of ÔÇśpiano jazz for kidsÔÇÖ that isn't limited by any of the words in that phrase. A refreshing sound, and an absolute pleasure to listen to,ÔÇŁ says Stefan Shepherd of Zooglobble. Her newly released second album of original songs, ÔÇťThe World Is A Curious Place To Live,ÔÇŁ celebrates our innate curiosity as humans. You may recognize her spirited curiosity from an OPB Art Beat piece that aired this spring.
Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band
People Magazine's #1 Cool Kid Album of the Year- Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band caters to the hip family crowd. Hailed by USA Today and CBS as a top band on the national scene- LDFJB serves up deliciously crafted lyrics and fresh pop beats. Led by husband and wife duo, award winning singer/songwriter, Lucky Diaz and Broadway performer/ songwriter Alisha Gaddis, LDFJB turns kid's music into music loved by all.
Mo Phillips
Mo Phillips writes kids songs from his secret ninja laboratory in the Portland, Oregon. In the old days, Mo played crazy jazz and psychedelic math rock on three continents to much acclaim.  Mo grew up recreating Neil Young and the Rolling Stones in his bedroom, and after some university years trying (unsuccessfully) to cross D. Boon with John Coltrane, he fell back into his classic rockin' ways. It has been said that Mo's album Train Beard sounds like Black Francis joined Wilco to make a kids album.
When not doling out the goods to the young set, Mo is a husband, a dad, and a really slow but mostly dedicated soccer player. And of course lover and supporter of the Portland Timbers. RCTID!
When not making bands with the youngest rockers, Mo performs interactive shows of his own that respect the intelligence of young people with wit and irreverence, without being being strictly scatological. This is music built for kids and parents alike!  Mo does not dumb down lyrics or melodies for kids to "understand", and therefore sings about things whole families can appreciate.  A fine, distilled blend of Americana, Soul and Blues, while not being afraid of a poppy hook or straight rockin' out.
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo is the King of Kid Hop!
Purveyor of Family Hip Hop at its finest, 23 Skidoo has captivated crowds internationally with his own funky brand of positive half pint party music! Combining deft wordplay, great storytelling and pure positivity on top of thumping drums and sophisticated multi-instrumental pieces, 23 Skidoo speaks to kids and parents alike, without EVER condescending.

She also rarely came home with a clean shirt and had lots of accidents that ended with a hunt for Band-Aids. Nowadays she writes on her laptop rather than in a notebook, but not much else has changed. Of Giants and Ice, which Kirkus Reviews calls a "fast-paced combination of middle school realism and fairy tale fantasy," is her first novel. Its sequel, Of Witches and Wind, was released in July 2013. She lives in Portland.
The Ever Afters: Rory Landon is used to being behind the spotlight. With a famous director father and actress mother, she has never expected people to notice her. But when she starts her new after-school, she finds that she may star sooner than she thought. It seems that this new school is a training ground for new fairy-tale characters, and everyone gets a chance to play a lead. Will Rory shinein her new role, or are her stories destined to end unhappily ever after?

In Better Than You, TylerÔÇÖs neighbor Jake brags about everything. Tyler canÔÇÖt show Jake a basketball move, a school assignment, or a new toy without Jake saying he can do better.

USU volleyball: Aggies stuff Stags of Fairfield in five sets Saturday
The second stanza was much like the first with teams taking turns holding the lead and deficit, before Fairfield pulled away. Trailing 20-13, the Aggies sliced the gap in half with an ace by VanHoff squeezed in between a pair of Orr kills to trail 20-16, forcing a Stags' timeout. Out of the break, Fairfield scored five of the final six points in the set to capture the frame, 25-20, and even the match at one set apiece.
Utah State pulled away from a 9-8 lead with an Orr kill preceding a block by Brainard and Everett for an 11-8 Aggie advantage, and the Stags called a timeout. Out of the break, Fairfield reeled off five unanswered for a 13-11 lead, and it was USU's turn to take a timeout. The see-saw set kept swaying as the Aggies went on a 5-0 streak to open a 16-13 lead, getting another Brainard-Everett tandem block, an Etimani kill and an Orr ace during the spurt. The Stags closed it to 19-18, but the Aggies reeled off six of the next eight points in the set to take the frame, 25-20, taking a 2-1 set advantage.
In the fourth frame, USU scored the first point before Fairfield fired off five unanswered. The Aggies bounced back to tie it at 5-5, but then the Stags went on a 5-0 streak before Etimani regained control for the navy and white with a kill. Utah State got within two at 11-9 after a VanHoff kill, and then she teamed up with Orr for a block. Trailing 16-14, a freshmen fueled rally put USU up 17-16, as Gleason served up an ace and then Moscoso teamed with VanHoff for a block. The Aggies took a 22-21 lead following a kill from Orr, but the Stags scored the next four points, including the last on a long back-and-forth rally, to win the set at 25-22 to force a fifth and final set.
Trailing 6-5 in the final frame, USU reeled off three points in a row on a kill by Orr, then an Etimani kill and an ace from Orr for an 8-6 Aggie advantage at the court change and the Stags took a timeout. Out of the brief stop in play, a Fairfield attack error preceded back-to-back Aggie blocks, the first by Brainard and Everett, then Everett and Etimani, followed by an Orr kill to give USU an 11-6 lead. An attack error by the Aggies made the scoreboard read 11-7, but Fairfield didn't get any closer with another miscue for a 12-7 USU lead. Etimani and Brainard smashed kills before VanHoff and Brainard teamed up for a block to clinch the set and the match in the Aggies' favor at 15-7.
Following this weekend's action, the Aggies play at the University of Portland Nike Invitational on Sept. 6-7, before playing at in-state foe Weber State on Sept. 10. USU then plays at the Duke University Tournament on Sept. 13-14.
The Aggies officially kick off their home schedule by hosting Boise State on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. in USU's MW debut.
Utah State volleyball tickets are available by contacting the USU Ticket Office at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum or by calling 1-888-USTATE-1 or (435) 797-0305.

I am sorta creeped out by this. But it is probably the IMMORAL WAR THAT CAUSED THE AMPUTEES!!!!
How in the hell can ANYONE be a winner? Even for a sexual fetish?
God America really is full of idiots.
My last soapbox, I promise-
from the amputee fetish article:
-There are no winners in George W. Bush's war.
-And thanks to George W. Bush's war
-And thanks to George W. Bushand Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and corrupt Republicans and ineffectual Democrats
-But, now, thanks to George W. Bush
-Mr. President. You're the Decider
It simply is misguided to focus on the retarded puppet President of ours.
Give credit where it is due, Paul Wolfowitz is responsible. Read his Bio and watch out.
Thank god there aren't brain injury fetishists - cause they must be having a field day with this Failure of a War.
Dan, what is your point?
Is it just me, or does that article by "anonymous" read like it was written by Dan?

Barclays Report Recommends Midmarket Leveraged Loans To Wealthy Individuals
By Shasha Dai
Midmarket leveraged loans historically have been a playground for institutional investors. But individual investors may want to pay more attention to the sector as they contemplate asset allocation, a recent report from Barclays PLC said.
According to the Barclays Wealth research report, "An Alternative to Traditional Fixed Income: Private Senior Secured Loans," now is a good time for wealthy individuals to invest in midmarket leveraged loans because of the supply-and-demand imbalance, after retrenchment by many typical lenders, including banks, finance companies and hedge fund managers.

IFM, Abu Dhabi Group Wins $5.35 Billion Australia Port Deal
A group including Industry Funds Management and a unit of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority will pay A$5.07 billion ($5.35 billion) to lease two Australian ports, as the New South Wales state government seeks infrastructure funds.
The successful bidders will hold 99-year leases at Port Botany in southern Sydney and Port Kembla in Wollongong, NSW Treasurer Mike Baird told reporters in the state capital today. Proceeds, amounting to A$4.3 billion after paying off the ports' debt, are 72 percent higher than the A$2.5 billion he told state parliament Oct. 17 he expected the state to receive.
NSW is selling the port leases to raise funds for infrastructure projects, Baird said in June. The state is planning a new motorway in Sydney, a rebuilding of the Darling Harbour precinct close to the city's main business district, as well as hospitals, bridges and roads even as its credit outlook was lowered to negative by Standard & Poor's last year.
"It's an incredible vote of confidence and an endorsement in the health and future of New South Wales," Baird said in Sydney today.
The successful bidding group, known as NSW Ports consortium, is led by Industry Funds Management, known as IFM, and includes local retirement funds AustralianSuper, QSuper, Cbus, HESTA, and HOSTPLUS. Tawreed Investments Ltd., a unit of Abu Dhabi Investment, has a 20 percent stake, Brett Himbury, IFM chief executive officer, said at a media conference in Sydney today.
Coal Mines
The group is confident it will get good returns in the long term, Himbury said.
"Most of the imports and exports for this state come through those two ports," he said. "We're very confident of the long-term outlook for New South Wales and the returns that that's therefore likely to generate."
Port Botany is the nation's second-biggest container port after Melbourne and sits on Botany Bay. The Port Kembla terminal is about 72 kilometers (45 miles) south of Sydney and is the conduit for coal transported from mines in the south and west of the state, according to its website. NSW is home to about a third of Australia's almost 23 million people.
The proceeds can be used to boost government infrastructure spending in the state, reducing the need to borrow for major projects, Baird said. Still, they'll go to the state government's balance sheet and won't affect a budget deficit of A$776 million for the year ending June 30.
"It doesn't solve our problems," he said. "As revenue has disappeared, we've had to take decisions to align revenue and expenditure."
A group led by Hastings Funds Management Ltd. and including Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc. and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan considered a bid for the 99-year leases, people with knowledge of the matter said in October. Ontario Teachers' last month bought 70 percent of Leighton Holdings Ltd.'s telecommunications assets for about A$620 million.

About biff4ugo
By: biff4ugo, 1:31 PM GMT on May 04, 2009
We are getting short on rain here in North Central Florida. That is quite sad considering the Suwannee River is still above flood stage in parts.
Even so, Gilchrist County is having fire trouble.
Here I am struggling to remember to water my lawn on the two days I am allowed to. I always seem to remember when I see my even addressed neighbors doing it... and since I am an odd address those are NOT my days. :-(
But every time we talk about how low the water table is and the struggle to find new water supplies, I'm glad we have the restrictions.

Claude Julien doesn't think players will get too comfortable now that cap is sorted
|12.14.10 at 2:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins players can rest easy now that the team has trade Marco Sturm to the Kings. With the deal, which they made on Saturday, the team could go the rest of the season with it's current squad and not have to worry about the salary cap, as they're a little less than $300,000 under the cap.
Rumors swirled throughout the beginning of the season regarding the likes of Matt Hunwick, Michael Ryder, and Blake Wheeler. Of the three, only Hunwick was dealt, and the rest of the team can now breathe easy. Still, Claude Julien doesn't see it as reason for complacency.
"I think for a player, it certainly has to give them a little bit of relief as far as saying 'all these question marks have been answered,"' Julien said Tuesday. "At the same time, I think players have to realize that just because we're there now, that doesn't mean we're going to stay there if we don't get the results we want.
"You're always fighting for a spot in the lineup, you're always fighting to keep your job, and you're always fighting to stay on the team. I think that part should stay the same time, what's been lingering over their heads now has more or less been taken care of."
Julien seemed to suppress any opinions when commenting on the league's decision to suspend Flyers forward Jody Shelley for two games. The league made the decision on Monday, and Shelley will lose nearly $12,000 in salary over the two contests.
"They obviously took it seriously enough to suspend him, and you've got to respect that," Julien said.
The B's coach was glad to have Adam McQuaid, the recipient of the suspension-inducing shove from behind Saturday, on the ice with the team as they skated Tuesday. McQuaid said on Monday that he was still sore, but his coach noted that he wasn't limited in practice after simply having the wind out of him Saturday.
"He's still a litte stiff, but not stiff enough to keep him out of the lineup or keep him out of practice," Julien said. "I think he still feels the effect of that hit, but he's a tough individual. He's battling through it to the point where I don't think it's going to be a factor as far as affecting his game."
If Steven Kampfer ends up seeing time on the power play, as he did on Tuesday, you can bet he'll be in for even more comparisons for former Michigan teammate Matt Hunwick.
Kampfer has essentially stepped in to replace the skill-set of Hunwick since last week's injury to Mark Stuart. He's been compared to the now-Avalanche defenseman quite a bit, but he's had a hardly robust six seconds on the power play in his two games since being called up.
The 22-year-old was told by the Bruins to watch film on Hunwick and study the types of things he does. Kampfer says he is flattered by the comparisons but feels that he is not yet the skater Hunwick is. He remains the Bruins' best puck-moving option.
Bruins hope days off pay off
|12.14.10 at 2:15 pm ET
The Bruins had a rare two-day break from the ice after Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers. The players' time was their own on Sunday, while they spent Monday at Target in Woburn Christmas shopping for children who have to spend the holidays in the hospital.
On Tuesday, they returned to Ristuccia Arena, working on the power play and practicing for over an hour.
"The two days [off] is definitely nice," Nathan Horton said. "I think we're overall rejuvenated, and everybody's ready to go. Everyone was excited to get back after two days. It's been a while, and it's nice to have a couple of days off."
The B's were preparing for their upcoming stretch of three games in four days beginning on Wednesday in Buffalo. After their bout with the Sabres, they'll travel to Montreal to face the Canadiens on Thursday before returning home against the Capitals on Saturday.
Given how heavy the schedule has been, Claude Julien saw Sunday and Monday as a good opportunity to let the B's rest up and let any aches players may be feeling work themselves out.
"I think so," Julien said when asked if the time off was necessary. "It's been a pretty heavy schedule for a lot of teams around the league. It's an opportunity for us to keep them off the ice here for a little bit."
With the return to the ice, Julien liked what he saw out of his guys. The break, which he hoped would allow them to "clear their heads a little bit and get ready for a big week," seemingly paid off with a good practice.
"I think they looked like they had lots of energy," Julien said. "Sometimes a couple of days off it good for you. When you say a couple of days off, I don't think they really had days off. They were busy doing other things. It's one of the few times that we're able to help them out in a way where they can get their rest and get away from practice."
Bruins return to practice
|12.14.10 at 11:25 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins took the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Tuesday after two days off. The team had an off-day following Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers in overtime and spent Monday picking out gifts for local hospitalized children.
Everyone was accounted for as the B's took the ice, and it's their first skate since trading Marco Sturm. The team worked on the power play before practice. Here's how the color-coded lines looked:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Wheeler – Bergeron – Recchi
Seguin – Savard – Ryder – Paille
Marchand – Campbell – Thornton
Hilarious Belfast Giants Christmas video
|12.14.10 at 9:52 am ET
Forget cultural differences, as the Belfast Giants, the Bruins' opponent in one of their preseason games in Europe, have proven that it's difficult for anyone to remain seated during Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You."
The video features some killer choreography and some Hockey East faces.
Bruins use Monday to knock off Christmas shopping
|12.14.10 at 9:38 am ET
WOBURN — Christmas shopping is crazy enough, but it's a little crazier when professional athletes are doing the same, easily identifiable by their jerseys and Santa Clause hats.
That was the scene at Woburn's Target store on Monday as the B's did their annual Holiday Toy Shopping to pick up presents for local hospitalized children.
"It's always nice, especially when you know it's going to kids that won't have a chance to be home for Christmas," captain Zdeno Chara said. "At least this way, we want t make it really easy and comfortable for them. Hopefully they're going to enjoy it."
This was no case of grabbing the first things you can find and calling it a day. Players were given checklists, shopping carts and Target employees as they went through the store. Nathan Horton, a father who admittedly is learned on the popular gifts, had no trouble filling shopping carts with toys and even iPods.
It wasn't long ago that 18-year-old Tyler Seguin was getting giddy over Christmas presents. The youngest player on the team, Seguin said he enjoyed Power Rangers toys as a child. As he picked presents on Tuesday, he was careful and deliberate in taking a good look at each gift before tossing it in the cart.
"This is a lot of fun," Seguin said as he inspected the toys. "Any time you get to give back to the community and fans, it's always a nice feeling. I get to tell my family all the good stuff and good causes we're supporting."
The B's have been picking up presents for hospitalized children since the days of Ray Bourque. After Bourque was sent Colorado, Concord-born Hal Gill took over the operation, with P.J. Axelsson succeeding Gill. Patrice Bergeron, the longest-tenured current Bruins player, runs the show now.
"I liked doing it when Hal was here, and then P.J. took care of it," Bergeron said Monday. "Once they left, I told [Director of Community Relations] Kerry [Collins] I wanted to take over because it's something that I like and I think it's something that the kids enjoy. It's something that's very important for the community."
The next step of the process is actually delivering the gifts, which players noted is the best part.
"Today, it's fun. You're throwing a bunch of toys and stuff in the cart, but the big thing is when we drop them off at the hospitals," Mark Stuart said. "It's good to actually meet the kids and actually know where it's going. That's important with any charity."
Jody Shelley suspended for two games
|12.14.10 at 9:36 am ET
Flyers forward Jody Shelley was suspended for two games on Monday for his hit from behind on Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. Shelley shoved McQuaid with two hands into the boards in the second period of Saturday's 2-1 Flyers overtime victory as the two were chasing an iced puck. It was a couple of minutes before McQuaid, who went head-first into the boards, would return to his feet, though he fortunately only had the wind knocked out of him. He returned to the game later int the period.
McQuaid told WEEI.com on Monday that he was still feeling "a little stiff and a little sore," but that he's glad he wasn't hurt on the play and can move on from it. He said he has watched replays of the hit "a few times" and that "it looked worse than it was."
Report: Flyers GM expects Jody Shelley to be suspended for hit on Adam McQuaid
|12.12.10 at 5:06 pm ET
According to a tweet from TSN's Bob McKenzie, the NHL has scheduled a disciplinary hearing for Monday in regard to Flyers forward Jody Shelley's hit on Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. The play, in which Shelley received a boarding major and game misconduct, occurred in the second period of the Flyers' 2-1 overtime win. The players were racing for an iced puck when Shelley pushed McQuaid, who went head-first into the boards and had the wind knocked out of him.
Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio tweeted Sunday that Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren expects Shelley to be suspended for one game.

Stayed here in 2010 and loved it so much we booked to stay again this March. Sadly we were let down after being picked up at the airport and taken to a riad we had heard nothing about! Anyway, we found out the hard way so just a prior warning to anyone looking to book in at Jardin Des Reves that it is currently under a contract dispute.

I connected my iPhone 4S as well as my Toshiba external hard drive to my Dell Windows 7 laptop. For relatively small files I can use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy directly from the iPhone to the external hard drive. But for large video files (around 500MB) the copy hangs.
I discovered a workaround, which is to copy the file from the iPhone to the laptop's internal hard drive, then from the hard drive to the external drive, which works. How can I get the copy to work directly for these large files?

Muzzle Tov to the kosher greyhound
Muzzle Tov and Edward Schwab
Greyhound racing A Jewish-owned greyhound is taking the racing scene by storm. Bought two years ago, when he was just a week old, Muzzle Tov has been working his way up the ladder and recently claimed his first win at Romford.
The dog is owned by a group from north west London, the majority of whom spend most evening in the Hendon Beis, where the idea was first conceived. His owners - Aryeh Berkley, Daniel Hanstater, Sam Vecht, Chaim Schwab, Chaim Gothold, Gavriel Cohen and Eli Pollak - work in finance, law, dentistry and at the Israeli Embassy.
The group sent him to Ireland for 18 months to be reared and schooled under the watchful eye of legendary kennel breeder John O'Flynn.
His first race was motzei Yom Kippur this year at the Romford track, where he finished second in the A7 grade. He then won his next race, sauntering home, and is now racing up a level at A6.
Muzzle Tov has struggled of late but the group remains optimistic that he has a bright future.
We'd love him to carry the GB flag around
They are following in the great tradition of Jewish animal owners and hope to preside over a regeneration of local interest in the 'sport of the people'. The group has ambitious plans to get Muzzle Tov to the Maccabiah Games one day.
A consortium spokesperson said: "It's what that sporting festival needs quite frankly to drag it into the 21st Century. Our dream is for him one day to carry the GB flag around the track at the Opening Ceremony."
The owners have set up a Facebook page for the dog and have overcome several complex religious problems to enable him to race on Shabbat, with "several Rabbis involved in helping us make it all kosher".

Electric Image Animation System
|Stable release
|9.1.0 / June 2013
|Operating system
|OS X, Microsoft Windows
|3D computer graphics
The Electric Image Animation System (EIAS) is a 3D computer graphics package published by EIAS3D. It currently runs on the OS X and Windows platforms.
Electric Image, Inc. was initially a visual effects production company. They developed their own in-house 3D animation and rendering package for the Macintosh beginning in the late 1980s, calling it ElectricImage Animation System. (To avoid confusion with the current product with its similar name, we will refer to this initial incarnation of the product simply as ElectricImage.)
When the company later decided to offer their software for sale to others, it quickly gained a customer base that lauded the developers for the software's exceptionally fast rendering engine and high image quality. Because it was capable of film-quality output on commodity hardware, ElectricImage was popular in the movie and television industries throughout the decade. It was used by the "Rebel Unit" at Industrial Light and Magic quite extensively and was in use by a variety of game companies.Bad Mojo, Bad Day on the Midway However, only these high end effects companies could afford it: Electric Image initially sold for US $7500.
EIAS has been used in numerous film and television productions such as Piranha 3D, Alien Trespass, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Daddy Day Care, K-19: The Widowmaker, Gangs of New York, Austin Powers: Goldmember, Men In Black II, The Bourne Identity, Behind Enemy Lines, Time Machine, Ticker, JAG - Pilot Episode, Spawn,[1] Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, Galaxy Quest,[2] Mission to Mars, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace,[3] Titan A.E., U-571, Dinosaur, Terminator 2: Judgement Day,[4] Terminator 2: Judgement Day - DVD Intro, Jungle Book 2, American President, Sleepers, Star Wars Special Edition, Empire Strikes Back Special Edition, Return of Jedi Special Edition, Bicentennial Man, Vertical Limit, Elf, Blade Trinity, and Lost In Space. TV Shows: Revolution, Breaking Bad, Alcatraz, Pan AM, The whole Truth, Lost, Flash Forward, Fringe, Surface, Weeds, Pushing Daisies, The X-Files, Alias, Smallville, Star Trek:Next Generation, Babylon 5, Young Indiana Jones, Star Trek Voayager, Mists of Avalon, Star Trek Enterprise...'.
Electric Image, Inc. was always a small company that produced software on the Mac platform and so never had a large a market share. Play, Inc. purchased Electric Image corporation in November 1998. The first version of EIAS released under the Play moniker was version 2.9. Play later released the 3.0 version. This was the first version to run on Windows, and to mark this move, Play renamed the package Electric Image Universe. Play was never a greatly successful company, and so Electric Image Universe stagnated during the time they owned it.
In 2000, Dwight Parscale (former CEO of Newtek) and original Electric Image founders Markus Houy and Jay Roth bought back the original company from Play Inc. On September 19, 2000, the company bought back the shares of Electric Image from Play and set about to recapture the product's former customer base. The new company released version 4.0 and 5.0 under the Electric Image moniker. Then due to a licensing problem with Spatial Technologies, they dropped the Modeler program from the version 5.5 release, and renamed the package back to Electric Image Animation System.
Versions 6.0 and 6.5 were subsequently released with vast improvements to the rendering engine and OpenGL performance. Version 6.5r2 added FBX file importing capability. 6.6 added Universal Binary support and finally drops support for Mac OS 9. Version 7.0 brought Multi-Layer Rendering, Image-Based Lighting, Raytrace Sky Maps and Rigid Body Dynamics. The version, 8.0, added Photon Mapping, Fast soft shadows, area light, Quadratic light drop-off, EXR and 16bit image input support, Displacement Sea Level, new Weight maps tools, lots of workflow enhancement and Renderama improvements.
In 2009, EITG began negotiations to sell the intellectual property rights of ElectricImage. On January 12, 2010 it was announced that Tomas Egger, Igor Yatsenko, and Igor Ivaniuk had become the new owners of EIAS. Known collectively as "The Igors", Igor Yatsenko and Igor Ivaniuk had been EIAS's primary software developers for many years. Together with Animator and VFX Supervisor Tomas Egger, they will continue development of software applications: Animator, Camera, Renderama and all related modules. Naming their new company EIAS 3D, Tomas and the Igors have been working since Spring of 2010 to bring the latest version of EIAS, version 9.0, to market.
Sunrise, FL – November 6, 2012 EIAS3D has just released version 9 of the Electric Image Animation System (EIAS v9). This new version is available for immediate download. EIAS v9 is the first release from EIAS3D and is the first step in making the Electric Image Animation System faster, more robust, and easier to use. Long-term EIAS customers will experience a remarkable performance improvement in their existing projects. New customers will find that v9 is as powerful as it is easy-to-learn. The famous software that made numerous key moments possible in Hollywood movies is now in its 9th major version. Well-regarded for its rendering speed and render quality, EIAS v9 has important new features and key technologies
Sunrise, FL – June 25, 2013 EIAS3D has just released version 9.1 of the Electric Image Animation System (EIAS v9.1). This new version of one of the worlds fastest animation and rendering systems is now available for immediate download. EIAS v9.1 is a free update for customers of v9.0 and is a new step in making the Electric Image Animation System faster, more robust, and easier to use.
EIAS 9.1 Animator Feature List EIAS 9.1 Camera Render Engine Feature List
Market Positioning[edit]
The existing customer base for EIAS favors it for its fast renderer, its high output quality, and its camera mapping features. The tool set lends itself particularly well to hard-surface animation/rendering and other forms of non-organic tasks. It is most popular with architects and visual effects artists for TV and film.
EIAS's primary competitors in the integrated 3D package space are Autodesk with Maya, 3D Studio Max and Softimage, Maxon with Cinema 4D, and Newtek with Lightwave 3D.
The Electric Image Animation System is not a single program, but rather a suite of several programs designed to work together. Each of the primary programs handles a particular part of the production workflow:
Animator is the EIAS animation program. It can directly import 3D models in the Lightwave, 3D Studio, AutoCAD, Maya, and Electric Image FACT formats. In addition to animating models, Animator allows you to set up rendering settings. It efficiently supports the animation of very geometrically complex projects.
Camera is the EIAS rendering program, known for its speed and high image quality. As of version 9.0, it supports ray tracing, Phong shading, scanline rendering, spatial anti-aliasing, motion blur, caustics, radiosity, Photon mapping, Irradiance Cache, Screen Cache and global illumination. Camera outputs to several file formats, like Quicktime and EI's own Image format. The latter is directly supported by Adobe After Effects CC and Adobe Photoshop CC.
Renderama and Renderama Slave compose EIAS's distributed network rendering system. It allows for the rendering of a project to be distributed over a network's computers (i.e., for the formation of a render farm). It supports both single and multiprocessor computers, taking advantage of all available processors to distribute the workload. It also supports rendering across platforms (e.g., Windows 7/8 - 64 bits and Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier).
Modeler saves its files in Electric Image's "FACT" file format for importing into Animator (see above). It supports ACIS modeling, "ÜberNurbs" (EIAS' subdivision surfaces modeling technology), LAWS (based on parametric formulas) as well as Boolean operations and other modern modeling tools.
Modeler last shipped in Electric Image Universe 5.0. As a result, users of EIAS 5.5 and newer use a third-party modeler instead. As of this writing, Electric Image recommends Nevercenter Silo for this purpose. Form•Z from auto•des•sys is also popularly used as a companion for EIAS.

There are some movies where you come out of the theater talking about the camerawork and the acting, discussing plot points, picking things apart, arguing whether it was really the seventy-eighth best movie you've ever seen. And there are some movies where you exit the theater and say "Dude. That was AWESOME." Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is very much of the latter variety; no matter how silly and/or stupid the final half-hour may be (as the few critics who didn't like it have pointed out), it's still a blast.
Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader, recently of Tropic Thunder) is a bumbling inventor who comes up with things that are kind of useful ("The Hair-Unbalder!" is the movie's first big laugh), but generally stupid. He lives on a small island just off the coast, the entire economy of which is derived from the sardine industry. It collapses, we learn, when the rest of the world realizes that sardines taste horrible. Inspired, Flint turns his attention to devising a machine that can turn water into food (in order to give the islanders some respite from eating three meals a day of sardines). Meanwhile, his father (voice of James Caan) wants him to go into the family business (bait and tackle, naturally), the local cop (voice of, yes, Mr. T) has an eye and a half on Flint thanks to previous experiments, and the Mayor (voice of Bruce Campbell) has staked the island's meager savings on the construction of an amusement park, which he hopes will begin a tourism industry. A station from the mainland has sent an enthusiastic weather girl (voice of Anna Faris, recently of The House Bunny) to cover the story.Read more ›
The BAD - SONY. Can't believe with all this technology you have resorted to ONLY including YOUR proprietary digital copy for PSP ONLY!! Even the other companies provide PC AND MAC versions of their digital copies (Win media / quicktime), 2 rivals. There's a reason you lack in your product offering and its because you ALWAYS do this. You separate yourself so far from everyone else to win the FORMAT war, that most of the time you LOSE.
Include your PSP format, I get that, but give us something else to use for our kids for travel! I suggest you release a free digital copy in another format for those who can show proof of purchase. I will be writing your company. This product would be 5 stars no doubt if they would have provided the standard digital formats EVERYONE else does, but plus their PSP format.
I want to recommend this movie, but I am so mad to give Sony any more money because of things like this with them....
The film adaptation and direction is by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (both are executive producers of the popular CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" and also the MTV animated series "Clone High"). Music is by Mark Mothersbaugh ("Fanboys", "Mama's Boy", "Lords of Dogtown") and the film is produced by Pam Marsden (producer of "Dinosaur" and "Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas").
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" received positive reviews from critics and debuted at #1 in the box office, raking in $180+ million worldwide. Now the film gets its first Blu-ray release and includes the Blu-ray, the DVD and a digital copy (a code is provided to download a digital copy from the PlayStation Network) for those who own a Sony PSP or Playstation 3 System.
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is featured in 1080p High Definition and I know that Pixar and DreamWorks animation gets a lot of attention for their animated work but Sony Pictures Animation has done a remarkable job with this film.
The picture quality on HD is absolutely vibrant and colorful. Water and liquid effects look absolutely terrific and realistic while the detail of the town Swallow Falls during its normal appearance of a seaside town to a town filled with food and sporting different scenery.
In fact, things look absolutely amazing during the second half as we see solid animation being utilized throughout the film.Read more ›

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Microplate-based technology often limits the ability of laboratories to meet current industry demand for highly automated, flexible systems capable of quickly and inexpensively processing large numbers of samples.
Laboratories responding to the demand for high-throughput (HT) capacity must add many identical, isolated workstations to process more microplates. Integrating these processes includes moving microplates between workstations, resulting in either the loss of skilled labor to simple, repetitive tasks or the addition of large, complex, and expensive robotics. When costs are evaluated, many laboratories consider neither to be a viable solution to achieve HT capacity.
New and innovative technologies are required to meet industry demand for highly productive, economical HT processing solutions.
Douglas Scientific's Array Tape™ is capable of replacing microplates for HT screening. Made from a continuous strip of plastic, Array Tape is embossed with reaction wells in SBS or customized arrays (Figure 1). Reaction volumes (1–30 µL), unique well geometries, and non-SBS formats are inexpensively customized in Array Tape compared to microplates. Thin and bendable, Array Tape is spooled onto compact reels (90 mm wide by 560 mm in diameter) holding in excess of 200 microplate equivalents for processing or storage.
Douglas Scientific developed the Array Tape platform to meet the needs of HT laboratories. Platform instrumentation includes modular inline liquid handling and sealing (Nexar®), large-batch thermocycling (Soellex™), and high-speed scanning (Araya®) optimized for Array Tape. Indexing holes running along the edge of Array Tape guide the fully automated movement of the plastic strip through discrete, inline modules where individual arrays of reaction wells are independently processed.
AgBio laboratories increasingly rely on HT automation to screen and identify genetic markers necessary to efficiently develop new and improved plant varieties as well as assure the genetic integrity of established lines.
Douglas Scientific collaborated with Rijk Zwaan to customize modules for their SNP genotyping protocol. On-site validation completed in their Netherlands-based laboratory demonstrated that the highly automated, miniaturized reactions in Array Tape produce high-quality SNP genotyping data comparable to their existing microplate-based platform (Figure 2).
For this validation process, DNA source material was extracted from vegetable leaf tissue using a protocol developed by Rijk Zwaan. DNA (approximately 2 ng/µL) was dispensed into 384-well arrays in Array Tape and 96-well arrays in microplates. Reaction volumes were approximately 50% smaller in Array Tape (800 nL) compared to microplates (2 µL), representing the only significant difference in the reaction assembly between platforms.
Raw data from both platforms was independently plotted and called by Rijk Zwaan and Douglas Scientific with 98.2% agreement. Douglas Scientific used the same call method to show 98.35% agreement in calls for the 4,959 samples run in both Array Tape and microplates (Table). The remaining 1.65% was due to drop-outs called in either Array Tape (1.51%) or microplates (0.14%) but not in both. The drop-out rate of both platforms falls well below the threshold for adequate data quality defined by Rijk Zwaan.
The Array Tape platform proved capable of processing over 200,000 SNP reactions in an eight-hour work day. Throughput advantages are realized through the speed and efficiency of parallel processing in continuous, inline liquid handling, sealing and fluorescence scanning modules, and large-capacity thermal cycling. Specific baseline evaluations at Rijk Zwaan show that, compared to their microplate-based platform, reagent dispense and fluorescent reading are twice as fast in the customized Nexar and Araya modules, respectively.
Thermocycling large batches of samples in Array Tape also dramatically increases throughput potential for users. Three reels of spooled Array Tape (230,000 assay wells) may be processed simultaneously in the Soellex three chambered water bath. Thermocycling a similar number of samples this quickly in microplates would require 18 water baths (32 microplate capacity) or 150 (4 microplate capacity) block heaters. The effect is increased throughput, reduced manual labor, and a smaller laboratory footprint.
The highly automated Array Tape platform with miniaturized reaction wells allows Rijk Zwaan to cut project timelines as well as the cost of labor and reagents. Furthermore, the simplified workflow reduces manual handling of analytical material and frees skilled labor for more productive work.

Hi, I am running WordPress in a subdirectory of my site, which is a supported configuration described here.
So my site is available at http://www.example.com but the WP install itself is located at http://www.example.com/wp/
Therefore, on the General Settings page of WordPress, my "WordPress Address" is http://www.example.com/wp and my "Site Address" is http://www.example.com.
I've just installed the NinjaFirewall plugin, but it's not working, because it does not appear to support this configuration. It tries to find (or create) the .htaccess file and php.ini file inside the subdirectory (www.example.com/wp) but this is incorrect. The .htaccess and php.ini files should go in the root directory at http://www.example.com.
Therefore, when I click the "Apply changes" button, and then I click the "Test NinjaFirewall configuration" button, it simply takes me back to the very first page again (the page which has the button "Enough chitchat let's go").
Can you kindly fix this, so that the plugin supports the situation where WP is in a subdirectory?

Cupid's Smoothie Classic Vibrator 6.5 Inch
Only: $16.95
My new favourite
Reviewed: June 10, 2016 by rwbe247, a Bisexual Single Female
I ordered this toy along with some of Lovehoney's gorgeous silk storage bags, and as always the packaging was discreet and arrived on time.
The packing of this product is the simple plastic pull-open type, and is very easy to open - no scissors needed!
I'd been really excited about this toy arriving, as I have a few other vibrators but one can sometimes feel too big and the other sometimes is just not enough to really give me the pleasure I'm after. I'd also told my FWB that it was coming, and I think he was just as excited to use it on me as I was!
The toy itself is smooth and actually rather pleasant to the touch as it's not made of the sticky silicone I quickly learned I was not a fan of, and even though I'm not a fan of pink, it's such a calm, almost baby pink rather than a bright shocking pink that I loved it instantly.
It does require two C batteries which I didn't notice until the day before I picked it up, so I had to make a quick run to the shops to get some, so I'd just make sure you're aware of that before you buy and make sure you get some - you really don't want to have to wait to play with this toy, trust me!
Now let's get down to the fun stuff. The vibrations are controlled by a dial at the base of the toy and they go from gentle to pretty strong. Its bullet-like shape means the tip is tapered perfectly to pinpoint your G-spot - or wherever else you want to focus those powerful vibes!
I absolutely loved this toy, and I have a feeling it's going to be used an awful lot, with or without a playmate.
- Pros
- Vibration strength, length, colour, material.
- Cons
- It's not completely waterproof so no shower fun.
- Bottom line
- My new favourite.

Kinky Fun
Reviewed: June 2, 2016 by SummerLove15
I was a little scared at first seeing as I had never used one of these before. But as soon as I tested it out, I knew straight away that I loved it!
My boyfriend got it for me as a surprise - and he made sure he got the batteries as they are not included. The packaging was discreet which was great!
This cute (but powerful!) vibrator really spices up things in the bedroom, plus it is more silent than you would expect.
Would recommend this 10/10 especially for beginners!
- Pros
- Makes me O in seconds!
- Cons
- Nothing I can think of!
- Bottom line
- A brilliant cure to spice things up in the bedroom (or to pleasure yourself!).

An absolute dream
Reviewed: May 6, 2016 by That bird
I was a little apprehensive when it came to buying the Cupid's Smoothie as I had never purchased a vibrator before. I was a vibrator virgin - I know, right?
The packaging was rather discreet, and I made sure to purchase the suggested C batteries which I managed to insert after a bit of jiggling with the cap.
am a complete convert to vibrators after making this purchase as I ended up shaking and squirting a multitude of times from clit stimulation to insertion. A win-win.
Buy it, you won't regret Cupid's Smoothie. Need I mention that it is whisper quiet? A must in a shared student house.
- Pros
- Quiet! Slim for beginners.
- Cons
- The colour leaves a lot to be desired.
- Bottom line
- A good starter toy!
