After last night's American Idol we're still unclear who really won. Was it Taylor Hicks who stole the title of American Idol? Or was it Clay Aiken's new strategically rockin' haircut which stole our hearts? You tell us…
It's May 25th; What's up?
Okay, so I have good news and bad news. The good news is there are a lot of great shows on tonight– The Office, ER, CSI, Numb3rs, Everybody Hates Chris… the list goes on and on. But the bad news? They're all repeats. Yep, it's that time of year.
Outside of Fox's 2-houir premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, threre's really nothing new on tonight. Sure, you can watch Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle on ABC or The Hulk on Sci-Fi if you've never seen them before, but maybe it'd be better if you made plans and went out for a change. You know– be social.
What are YOU watching tonight? Vote now!
While You Were Stuck on a Train
- Taylor Hicks is the new American Idol. So you better start worshipping him.
- Rapper The Game arrested for possessing a deadly weapon. Beat that Milton Bradley!
- Pussycat Dolls not as popular with kids as Cabbage Patch Kids. Maybe if their butts were signed…
- Anna Wintour shows up to screening of Devil Wears Prada. Wearing Ann Taylor Loft.
- Jessica Simpson misses Nick Lachey, hit reality show.
- Ashton Kutcher really wants to have kids. Demi's three teenage girls surpisingly not filling that paternal void.
SIZZLER: Cruise Buys Scientology Dream Home
Tom Cruise has purchased land to build his dream home for his brand new perfect family. The acreage, overlooking the San Fernando Valley in California, was reportedly purchased for $10 million. The actor plans to spend an additional $25 million to build his dream house on the land. And guess who he bought the property from? The Church of Scientology. Which means Tom won't have to go through the hassle of changing of his alien telephone number.
Best Night Ever: Wednesday, May 24th!
It's Best Night Ever for Wednesday, May 24th! Shea Hess is here to walk you through the best of Wednesday night tv, including Dr. Phil: Escaping Addiction, The American Idol Finale, and the Lost finale!
…Of The Day
- CROTCH: It's still FireCrotch, and probably will be until another one steps up and beats it. Wait, that came out wrong. (It Speaks)
- RUNNER-UP CROTCH: Stacy Keibler's– however, how much of it you see depends on the publication. (Gawker)
- MASK: Somebody showed up to Cannes in this freaky Faye Dunaway mask (right). What? That's not actually a mask? Um… nevermind then. (Yahoo)
- MISUNDERSTANDING: You know how everybody in America knows Stephen Colbert is only playing an over-the-top Conservative talk show host on TV? Yeah, well "everybody in America" does not include Tom DeLay, who posted a video of Colbert slamming Robert Greenwald on his Defend DeLay site today. Whoops. (Think Progress)
AI Prediction: Taylor, Clay-Mates Will Win
By 10 o'clock tonight, the world will know the winner of American Idol (and by Friday probably won't care). Nonetheless, DialIdol, the American Idol speed dialing service has already predicted that Taylor Hicks will win.
While the Soul Patrol will be sure Hicks takes home the gold tonight, but the real winners tonight are the Claymates, who will be graced with the presence of their fearless leader, Clay Aiken, who will be dueting with the contestants on tonight's episode. But the real, real winner tonight will be Katharine McPhee who may escape this whole thing without gathering an army of obsessive, over-zealous strangely self-titled fans.
YOU DECIDE: Who Has the Hottest Firecrotch?
I guess this was inevitable. Now that 'firecrotch' is the word on everyone's lips these days, and since Paris Hilton giggled along as Brandon Davis so eloquently used the term to describe Lindsay Lohan's nether-regions, you should be able to decide for yourselves how her own firecrotch (herpes don't count!) matches up against Lohan's. Vote for the hottest crotch in the comments.

Borat In Cannes!
Who cares about all the boring talentless starlet clamoring to impress Brett Ratner paparazzi shots from Cannes when there are all these lovely photos of the sexiest man in Kazakhstan cavorting along the beach in the south of France. Borat's in town to promote his self-titled big-screen debut, which has been getting mad buzz since it's premiere screening. If it's even half as awesome as that bathing suit, I think it could be the breakout hit of the year.
Ryan Seacrest Breaks Bad News
Tonight, Ryan Seacrest is left to perform a thankless task. On national television, in front of a massive viewing audience, he will be forced to break the news to Katharine McPhee one of the two remaining American Idol contestants that they will not be the next American Idol.
Thankfully, Ryan has a lot of experience delivering bad news.
Need proof? Just read this great McSweeney's piece by Sarah Schmelling and you'll see that throughout history there hasn't been a better bearer of bad news than Seacrest. As if there was any doubt.

Phil Robertson of 'Duck Dynasty' shocked fans of his beloved show when he told 'GQ' that gays can't go to heaven, and that black people were 'happy' before the Civil Rights Movement. Now the show's patriarch has been suspended by A&E, though his family is sticking firmly by his side.
Phil Robertson is in some major hot water, and with good reason. The Duck Dynasty patriarch made some shockingly racist and homophobic remarks in an interview with GQ, and now A&E has suspended him from its colossal hit series. Find out how the rest of the Robertson clan has responded below.
'Duck Dynasty' Family Responds: 'Prayer Is The Best Conversation'
Unreal. Phil showed an unbelievable amount of ignorance and stupidity when he claimed that black people were better off before the Civil Rights Movement — and he knows this, of course, because he's "white trash":
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once," he said. "Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field … They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people'—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."
So to recap, not only is Phil calling himself and his friends and family "white trash," he's also insinuating that black people (who were so happy before integration!) are trash by default. Lovely.
Most of Phil's famous family has kept quiet both publicly and on social media since the backlash, but Phil's son Jep Robertson did tell GQ that he tends to agree with what his father says. "We're not quite as outspoken as my dad, but I'm definitely in line," he said. "If somebody asks, I tell 'em what the Bible says."
Phil's granddaughter Sadie Robertson seems to feel similarly, as she sent out a cryptic tweet on Dec. 19 that also references the power of religion. "Prayer is the best conversation of the day," she wrote. "It's better to go to God before taking it to someone else."
Prayer is the best conversation of the day. It's better to go to God before taking it to someone else 👌
— Sadie Robertson (@sadierob) December 19, 2013
Jessica Robertson, Phil's daughter-in-law, responded similarly, retweeting the words of John the Baptist (who, to our knowledge, does not actually have a personal Twitter account):
@JessicaDuckWife If God is with you who can be against you? Stand together as "Many will be persecuted in My name"
— John the Baptist (@theforerunner77) December 19, 2013
To sum it up, they're standing by him.
Phil Robertson Has Support Of Louisiana's Governor
Of course, Phil's remarks went much further. In addition to his preposterous claims about black people, he also insulted gays, who apparently cannot get into heaven.
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there," Phil said. "Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
He added that he didn't quite understand why someone wouldn't want to sleep with a woman: "It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
Lovely. As ignorant as Phil's words are, at least he has the full support of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana," Jindal said in a statement. "The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with. I don't agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV. In fact, come to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive. But I also acknowledge that this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views. In fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended."
So hate speech is more tolerable than twerking. Got it.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers?

OMG I' am so tired of the BS Christianity It wasn't even around till the the roman empire made it for a way to calm down the people.. Then they Used God as a way to to invade and murder millions of people. Come on the bible based on there out look say's there are no Dinosaur's and we made them up….
I don't care if someone wants to be gay or even if they think god is real And yes we all have the right of free speech but use your brains.
If you take to the bible so hard dose it not say be nice to one another and care and respect one another, how is talking down about someone making them feel bad and drive a bunch of people to depression just cuz they have a no choice on who they like then they take there own life cuz people make them feel like dirt.
Tell me in the bible where dose it say to treat people as if they are dirt and with out love..
Its a good thing I don't think the bibles are real cuz there are like 100 different one that all say one thing or another and not one is the same..
So I ask How do you guys know what one really has the real words of God they all claim to be the Words of god.

Looks like this article is really hateful! Hateful towards Phil. Hateful towards Christian beliefs. Oh it's ok for homos to shove their agenda down our throats. But Christians speak up and oh they are being hateful. Yeah. That's what this world has come to. If u don't tolerate my homosexuality then u hate me. And u hate all homos.
Christians should start a don't hate campaign. Don't hate bcz we believe the bible.
Stop spreading hate bcz we speak out about Jesus.

This is to me a control of what people can or cannot
say. Sound like Communisiam not democracy.
You may not like what I say but everyone has a right
to say it even if it isn't worded the way you would like as not everyone is
Educated. Who is really trying to force their beliefs
On the world by running to A&E to get rid of Phil?
The only family that acknowledges God on TV and
now it is being destroyed by people who are
IGNORANT. People should just go home and love
their family (that's where peace starts) and stop
destroying others

Kate, you obviously know nothing about Christianity and probably didn't read the article in full. Did he not say it was not up to him to judge? Did he not say it is for God to do that is is supposed to live everyone. You must be filled with hate or guilt. I didn't hear hate, I heard he doesn't understand the desire and quite frankly I do not either. No woman can do for me what a man can and if it weren't for us non gays, gays would not have children, and we all would no longer exist because they cannot reproduce. So go ahead and try to beat us down you will NOT succeed

I am a viet nam vet n this country is so far backwards. We give people n cooperations buy outs for doing wrong n simIlar to give to the people I pay my house off go to work n what they give me? I agree with mr Robertson 100per cent And the bie is gods word and if got sAid it who is a be or gay or lesbian to disagree because Phil Robertson repeated the bible . Are you on judgement day going to tell Jesus and god their wrong ? Try it n see where it gets you. Go Phil !!!!
Posted at 11:05 AM on December 20, 2013
Yes I guess Phil is a hero. It must be honorable to stand by your convictions and throw stones, hate and judgement. I just want to know one thing….did Phil read the rest of the bible or did he skip the parts about judging others, gluttony, idols, ect….just curious to see which of his sins are better than others.
Posted at 11:32 AM on December 20, 2013
You sound like an Idiot. The show is great. You obviously haven't watched it enough. At the end of the show they always pray. Did you know A&E told them they couldn't do that they couldn't do that anymore? But the Robertson family said if they wouldn't let them pray at the end of the show they wasnt going to be a show anymore. I stand behind Phil 100%. He has every right to express his opinion as much as anyone else. Even if he did make a hateful, "racist" comment, there's millions of other people who do it everyday. Get over yourselves, guys. Go hate on foam finger humping, no butt twerking Miley Cyrus.

Amen! That is why I have given 17 years of my life to defend that amendment! I. am willing to die so that everyone even the Gays are free to do what they want! But I am a Christian and I am a believer in what Mr. Robertson said. The Irony here is if the situation was reversed, many of the immoral members of our society, especially most of the media personal, would Praise the individual for saying they are Gay, or degrading Christians. The network would totally ignore Faith based organizations even though the number of members and followers of Christ just in this Country is 10 times the number of Gays. The network definitely should consider the following before trying to jump on the politically correct band wagon!

Just another reason our country is going to downhill. Everyone MUST be political correct.You are not allowed an opinion. I support freedom of speech and if this is his belief then he has a right to answer a reporter's question with his thoughts and not what the liberal media expect. WE are not allowed to be individuals any longer.

It is a brave thing to stand by your convictions in modern day America. You my friend are a true American, someone who stands by his beliefs. I for one will not be watching anything put out by A&E until they remove this ban. I am a proud disabled vet who supports not only the freedom of choice but the freedom of speech. Stand tall Phil and never give way to the intolerance of close minded affiliates. I hope your entire family does not take this sitting down. let them speak there minds as well. God bless.

To who wrote this article: you are ignorant and need to read the entire article in GQ. You have completely taken Phil's words out of context and twisted them. He did not compare homosexuals to anything, he simply said that in the bible (our word of GOD) homosexuals are considered sinners along with other types of sinners. The man was asked what he thought about all the sin going on in the world. I love how the article was about Phil's life and beliefs, but all anyone is taking from it is that he said homosexuals are sinners and that he worked in the cotton field with slaves. He never said that black people where happier as slaves, he simply said that he lived in a time when all you needed was you're faith and family to be happy. Which is how he still lives his life today. You can not bash the man for what the bible says. Our bible does say that sinners will not go to heaven unless they repent their sins. Our bible does consider homosexuality a sin along with a lot of other things that would make you a sinner. people need to stop taking his words out of context, and stop trying to argue with what the bible says because you will never win.

Kate wrong again. Duck Dynasty may be gone but Duck COMMANDER is not. A&E searched the Robertsons out not the other way around. See God blesses his Children who try to do the right thingthing. We don't claim to be perfect we just accept our forgiveness. Just as I want to bless and give to my children God is amazing like that with us, we work and he multiples it and makes it grow. So I don't think Phil is losing anything. He had money before them and he has not chosen to.let the money change him, maybe thats what is really bugging you, God has his back.

you are part of the problem….aside from using the correct anatomical terms (would you rather he had used other's so often heard slanged by other celebrities? he quoted scripture..try reading the bible, specifically, Corinthians…though it may do you some good to read a few extra chapters. It seems the only people so insulted..are those that don't believe in the word of God and that is your choice. don't sensationalize this or tear apart their faith and values to fit your greed of ratings, seriously, you act like the family is so disgusted and against Phil…sorry hollywood…that family sticks together. if you are going to write, then write the truth rather than create ridiculous headlines. did you even read the original article??? if so, you'd understand Phil, aside from scripture, was stating what he thinks or feels is logical/illogical, and what he witnessed while he was also working along side of blacks..and you know what…a lot of blacks that were there..see NOTHING wrong in what phil said. who are you to say that those he was around in those days weren't content? but you take it out of context..twist it, and the next thing you know, Phil is spreading hate, lying about EVERY black prior to civil rights…..give me a break. Go attack someone else. It's sad we live in such a hedonistic society that is trying so desperately to eliminate any values whatsoever. Phil may not be perfect, but he has tenfold times the values that y'all do.

I STAND BEHIND HIM 100% Its ok for the liberals to bash Christians and thats all fine and dandy but let us quote from the bible that wS written 19200's of years ago and we are wrong. Get it together either we all have free speech or none of us do. When our rights of freedom of speech is tAken are it means you too!
Posted at 7:42 AM on December 20, 2013
What I find amusing is the uproar. His experience with blacks is just that, his experience growing up in that part of Louisiana. He isn't expousing upon the plight of blacks in Chicago, Newark, or Harlem in the time period he grew up. He calls his family "white trash" and you get shocked but at the same time everyone laughs at those silly "rednecks" on the show so please tell me why one is offensive and the other isn't?
Posted at 8:49 AM on December 20, 2013
Exactly, but they twist it around and next thing you know, Phil is somehow responsible for all the suffering, and somehow the king of hate. Please….makes me sick. If they need a scapegoat for their lack of morals, faith, or values…let them trash each other rather than reporting that this family is so against Phil. In fact, one of the clauses in their contract was that in no way would they be played against one another or have to defend against one another. Obviously, they are sticking together, and obviously this uproar isn't just about Phil, but the very threat that is against Christianity and values as a whole. People are tired of having to tip toe around this PC world . Believe it or not, there are millions of people that will defend God's word to the end.
Posted at 11:21 AM on December 20, 2013
The only problem is that while you and millions of others are vigilantly standing by a book that was written a few thousand years ago, the rest of the world is evolving. Let me ask you this…why do you believe God wrote that book….I believe man did, infact I know he did. There are so many contradictions in the bible, alot of it just plain ignorant, silly and violent. If God wanted everyone to read the bible, it would have come out of the birth canal with you when you were born. What is pathetic is how millions of people who have a brain, can be easily manipulated, brain washed and controlled. I guess if nutcase Hitler could do it, I guess a scarey, condemning, violent book can, too.
Posted at 2:00 PM on December 20, 2013
Yep the rest of the world is evolving to crap, why Mothers dump their babies because they don't know what love is. Also why we kill those we say we love. Because its a free for all with no morals or respect. If you took the time and read the one book that has held up to the test of time you might find its full of love and forgiveness that is why Jesus came and died. I would almost bet you celebrate Christmas, news flash its about the birth of Christ see Christ Christmas get the connection ? But the media has turned it into anything but what it represents. If you want to be so evolved take your free down and don't give e or take any gifts bc if you do you acknowledge Jesus was born and he lives.

Yet another example of what this Nation has come to. If more of our countryman and leaders were of the Robertson Family's beliefs and morals this country would not be in the situation we find ourselves in. Beliefs aside, man and women ended up on this planet to go forth and multiply together. Homosexuals can't do that… Doesn't that tell you something?? We as a country let them express their belief to their hearts content unmolested yet anyone not signing up to their program is not allowed to express their opinion.. Kinda reminds you of our government!! In any case I'd be proud to be a battle buddy with the Robertson Family any time, any place.. Hold the line Family Robertson!!! As you know you're not alone….
Posted at 11:25 AM on December 20, 2013
Yes, you are right. If more people were like christians we would still be racist and blacks would be a step up from animals, but only for production reasons. Women would be stoned to death for losing their virginity and of course, men could have sex with a 1,000 women as long as they all are his wives. LOL, who in the hell do you think wrote the bible….lol, its obvious a man did. Grow up and use the brain you were given.
Posted at 2:28 PM on December 20, 2013
I find it amazing you quote something you dont know. If you did you would not make the statement about stoning…the rest of it goes like this. And Jesus said you who is without sin cast the first stone, they all dropped their stones and walked away. Then he asked her where her accusers were, she looked up and they were gone. Jesus said go and sin no more. Also no where in the bible is racism. Do you know that Moses married an Ethiopian woman (in case you dont know that means black) a and God blessed them……sounds real racist doesn't it.
Posted at 12:47 AM on December 20, 2013
This has gotten ridiculous. Freedom of speech is what we as Americans are and SHOULD be raised on. There's the homosexual community out there doing protest and what not and nothing is said to them..why? because its freedom of speech! EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinions. GET OVER IT. Its not the first time its been said and sure as heck wont be the last!!! WELCOME TO AMERICA ;)

By the way those bible thumpers is why you have america read your history book and if you are trying to say thats when the bible was written you need to go do some research it was written hundreds of years before….hey use your internet and Google Dead Sea Scrolls maybe you can still get the facts straight

I think you should go read the Bible. Don't like what it says? Tough. IT'S STILL THERE!
I'm an agnostic liberal, but to clearly misinterpret what Phil said is vile. You've probably never watched the show, but by god you'll scream about a guy stating his beliefs. They're his beliefs!
Tell me how it feels to have an IQ of 49? Go eat a dick.

What shall we do with the time we've wasted For the friends we loved and those we hated What will become of those laughter we cast Those moments are gone and lost to the past What shall we do with the hardships we shared The sorrow we braved and the tears that we shed What will become of the memories that haunt The bad deeds we did to the people we affront What shall come in the morning of the days Of those who remember our purpose and ways What will they say on our sorrow and pain After greed and plunder that brought us to shame After all, we are just drifting on our fate With the good and bad writings on our slate Let frustration and guilt rot and decay Those are past that makes who you are today

Ok people I posted something that u can laugh at xD As I am not dumb....If he was serious.....lol
After seeing that is a list in the OP and I jumped straight to Warwick and saw "WW as tank with life steal", I just downvoted, because obviously his mad about schlubs, pineaplees and airplanes not about the game.
Hahahahahaha i rofled

Not that I've read through every comment posted, I will say that I was pretty shocked that many many posted think that the OP is doing some big troll/joke post. There is a serious problem here. If OP post is anything representational of the core views of RIOT, then this game will be doomed to fail as they niche the market to a small group that has nothing better to do with their spare time. This was obviously a problem back when this post was released, and it's only gotten worse since. Advertising by word of mouth is only going to go so far. Once enough casual players don't advertise anymore, the game will disappear...fast. And most players are casual, don't kid yourselves: They have LIVES to live and LoL is only a passtime for them. That means that if OP champs continue to be released and make the game unfun for those who don't want to spend the time to keep up, the end result is only going to hurt RIOT's end pocket book. Most of my friends have already given RIOT the finger and moved on to play HON. Rightly I understand why. RIOT has got a problem on there hands if they don't start to take serious steps and measures to balance the game properly. No doubt I'll be downvoted, but doing so simply proves my point and further drives the casual gamers away from spending their money at RIOT.
hmm, this is still pretty funny
Why do people revive these ancient threads??

2013 CoreLogic Storm Surge Report Estimates 4.2 Million U.S. Homes Valued At An Estimated $1.1 Trillion At Risk Of Hurricane Storm-Surge Damage
IRVINE, Calif.,
May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic
® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading residential property information, analytics and business services provider, today released its 2013 CoreLogic Storm Surge Report featuring updated estimations on both the number and value of single-family homes exposed to hurricane-driven storm-surge damage within
the United States. According to this year's analysis, more than 4.2 million homes along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts are located within storm-surge risk zones, totaling more than
$1.1 trillion in property exposure.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100609/CLLOGO)
The CoreLogic Storm Surge Report, issued annually, provides a breakdown of residential property risk along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts at five key geographic levels – national, regional, state, metro and ZIP code. The 2013 findings reflect a significant increase in both the number of total properties at risk, as well as total value. This year's report features an enhanced methodology using CoreLogic Automated Valuation Model (AVM) data that improves the accuracy of the analysis. New this year, the report also provides an estimation of the potential increase in risk based on theoretical future rises in sea level.
"Public awareness of the risk hurricane-driven storm surge poses to coastal homeowners has never been higher coming off the heels of Hurricane Sandy last fall," said Dr. Howard Botts, vice president and director of database development for CoreLogic Spatial Solutions. "Sandy was a harsh reminder of the potential destruction associated with storm-surge flooding, and of just how many communities are vulnerable to that risk, in areas typically assumed to be relatively safe from hurricanes along the northeastern Atlantic shoreline."
In fact, also this year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released preliminary revised flood maps that increase the scope of designated flood zone areas in several New York City suburbs to include 35,000 additional homes and businesses not previously identified as existing within a flood zone. CoreLogic publishes the annual Storm Surge Report to enhance understanding of the additional risk hurricane-driven storm surge poses to homes located in areas prone to tropical storms. Storm surge is triggered primarily by the high winds and low pressure associated with hurricanes, which cause water to amass inside a storm as it moves across the ocean before releasing as a powerful rush overland when the hurricane moves onshore. In addition to the property damage and potential lives lost to flooding, the speed and force associated with storm-surge waves can significantly increase geographic and economic impact in hurricane disaster areas.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Today at Louise was pretty depressing. I'd understand if it was March already, but FFS it's mid January.
On the bright side, even though there's not much coverage, the quality's still up there. Let's all hope that things come around again and we start getting some snow in the forecast. |

More on Animal Hospitals
Some of the emergency veterinary services provided by animal hospitals for your pets are: x-ray, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, broken bones, stitches, poisoning, and MRI/CT scans. The non emergency veterinary service provided are the wellness programs that include: Check ups, vaccinations, dental, fecal examinations for internal parasites, senior wellness, special pet diets, lab work and pain management. The veterinarian or staff can answer all your questions regarding your pets health. They can inform you about any diseases, required vaccinations, illnesses, special diets, and first aid treatment. They also can provide you with all the information you need about caring for exotic pets, and any wildlife animals. If you are looking to adopt a pet, they can provide you with literature on common sociological and physiological traits of various breeds of animals. Local animal hospitals are not limited to caring for dogs and cats, the veterinarian can provide pet care for birds, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, ferrets, exotic and wildlife. They also have a full line food for your pet that has been formulated by veterinarians for optimum pet health. We all love our pets, and no matter how closely we watch over them, accidents can occur. This is when you should keep your local animal hospital address and vets phone number on your refrigerator, and in your cell phone, in case you need to contact them right away. It is also important to know that a few animal hospitals have their own ambulatory service for seriously injured pets who should not be moved, but only by a qualified technician. They are trained to carefully carry your pet without causing further injury, and will transport them back to their facility where the vet can promptly administer emergency pet care.

10 Great Educational Trips to Take During the School Year
10 Ways to Give Your Kids a Boost By Helping Them Study Better
When your kids go back to school, it's almost like you go back to school, too. Teachers and childhood development professionals agree that when a child's parents are involved in his education, he learns more and gets better grades. That means, you have just as big a responsibility in his schoolwork as he does.
Should Kids Be Fined for Skipping School?
You may already know some lucky kids are being rewarded with things like shoes, iPads and even cars just for showing up to school. But if they don't, is it fair to fine them — and their parents?
Bullied Bus Monitor Karen Klein Starts Her Own Anti-Bullying Foundation
Remember Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who was viciously harassed by her middle school charges in a video that went viral in June? Her story had a happy ending, as an internet fundraising campaign to send the 68-year-old on a "nice vacation" raised over $700,000 from 32,000 people around the world.
That's more than enough money for Klein to retire from the yellow school bus grind. And she plans to. But she is also using a good chunk of the cash — $100,000 — to set up the Karen Klein Anti-Bullying Foundation.
If You're Looking for Better Grades, Make Sure to Get Some Sleep
Parents who admire their kids' late-night study habits might be better off encouraging them to get some shut-eye instead — new research suggests well-rested students fare better academically.
The 12 Most Essential Back-to-School Supplies Your Kids Need for a Great Year
Somehow another summer has flown by and the kiddos are headed back to school again. Sure, that means vacations are over, the house will be empty and days at the pool are numbered. But what it also means is that it's time to shop for supplies.
Flint Announces Deal with Schools to Produce TV Programming
The City of Flint has entered into an agreement with Flint Community Schools to provide funding for the creation and operation of Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) television programming. The City will use quarterly fees collected from AT&T for the purpose of PEG programming to fund the School District's establishment, operation and maintenance of a studio and broadcast abilities.
Do School Food Laws Help Kids Lose Weight?
In an effort to curb rising child obesity rates, many states across the US have limited the unhealthy foods that kids can buy at school — and new evidence shows it could be paying off.

...To Sanger � who was present at the creation of Wikipedia (in fact, call him a co-founder, although that, like many things within Wikipedia, is disputed) � its charms seem to outweigh its warts simply because it has no competition...
...This week, Sanger takes the wraps off a Wikipedia alternative, Citizendium. His goal is to capture Wikipedia's bustle but this time, avoid the vandalism and inconsistency that are its pitfalls.
Sanger to Take Wraps Off Wikipedia Alternative: Citizendium [news.yahoo.com]
This should be interesting!
If you site is good enough then it will be referencing your website!
I think wikipedia mirrors that. I think it was an absolutely brilliant idea and anything that follows will be extremely difficult to establish.
[edited by: Keniki at 1:28 am (utc) on Mar. 26, 2007]
This website you're on at the moment proves that Citizendium has merit. You're a new member here, but if you post enough you'll run into the mods who will keep you on the straight and narrow. WW has built a very useful resource using volunteers.
Richard Wright wrote a book called NonZero. He attempts to make the case saying that human progress is built not everyone winning and that mankind (and even much of nature) has in its being a desire to be helpful to others.
I do agree with others, however, that I'll never learn to spell Citizendium. How do you say it: Sit-I-zen-de-um? Bah.
I followed a link at the bottom of the article and found a website with Adsense saying that they were currently re-designing their site.
A good start to using Citizendium - I think not!
How does Google view re-using articles from wiki and similiar sources?
Wikipedia is basically duplicate content: all of its articles are supposed to be referenced from other more authoritative sources. Quite often, that means it's nothing more than a rehash of the information you can easily find on the rest of the web. And if Wiki wasn't at the top of every single SERP, this original information would be that much easier to find in the first place.
Excuse me, I need to go buy my fish a bicycle...
That's I got from any link on the front page. Not very impressive at all right now. How can I put this.... buy yourself some bandwidth.
You maybe right I certainly wish Citizendium the best of luck. I think the fact Wikipedia needs competition is valid. I just wonder what happened to "encarta" and why they didn't take a leaf out of wikipedia and open the thing up.
It's simply riding the coattails of Wikipedia, which is the flavor of the month. It seems like you can't go a week without some minor Wikipedia article causing a controversy which makes it into the mainstream press (e.g. Sinbad reported dead).
The site will also be Slashdotted soon, if it hasn't been already, because they love to argue Wikipedia over there as well.

Suvir Mirchandani, a 15-year-old from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, claims the US government could save $234m by printing documents in Garamond.
In a piece published in the Journal of Emerging Investigators (JEI) called "A Simple Print Solution to Aid Deficit Reduction", Mirchandani recommended that bureaucracy change fonts to save ink, and thus printing costs.
Writing in the FT Weekend Magazine, he said: "I got the idea back in sixth grade, when I noticed that my teachers used a lot of printed handouts. It occurred to me that the fonts they relied on - Arial and Comic Sans mostly - were big and bold and required a great deal of ink."
After investigating the subject, Mirchandani found that that his school district could save $21,000. On encouragement from the JEI editors he expanded his analysis to local, state and federal governments, leading to a prediction of massive savings.
The teenager, who told the FT he hopes to become a software engineer, wrote in the JEI that the 2014 printing budgets for the American federal agencies amounts to $1.8bn. Though he expects savings of $234m, they could be anywhere between $62m and $394m.
As well as Garamond, Times New Roman and Century Gothic were tested, both with inferior results to Mirchandani's recommendation. All three fonts were recommended in a General Services Administration report from 2012.
There has been no response from the Government Printing Office as to whether the recommendations will be implemented.

Historically African Americans have been loyal to the Democratic Party; yet some discontentment may allow opportunity for the Republican Party to make inroads among African American voters. Situated within the context of the Republican electoral "compassionate conservatism" strategy, the purpose of this work is to demonstrate how Republicans are building political relationships with loyal democratic African American voters through cogitative tactics grounded in religion and moral values. We describe the relationship between African Americans and conservatism, examining alliances between Blacks and Republicans, highlighting "compassionate conservatism" and the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, and then analyze two case studies from the 2002 elections to explore the question: Is the compassionate conservatism strategy a blessing or curse for the African American electorate?

The quest to find your new signature scent can feel staggering. "Do you like florals?" "What's your perfect first date?" "Diamonds or pearls?"

We're big fans of boots in every variety, but a tall boot with a flat-to-the-floor sole or slightly chunky heel is a closet necessity. They instantly dress up denim, and they can be worn running errands or commuting without killing your feet. Plus, they're much more practical than a sky-high heeled option when winter is still in full force. read more

Ayurveda. It's one of those New Age-y trends that we're still not 100 percent sure we're pronouncing correctly (along with acai and jojoba) -- or clear on why we should care much about it. The 5,000-year-old practice is steeped in tradition, handed down from generation to generation. But it also taps into the very modern and not-so-out-there idea that whatever is going on inside your body shows up on the outside (think: acne, clogged pores and rosacea). read more

In theory, contouring is a magical makeup technique that makes your face look 10 pounds slimmer and gives you cheekbones that rival those of Angelina-Jolie-as-Maleficent. In practice, many things can go wrong: choose the wrong shade and end up looking like an Oompa Loompa; don't blend it enough and wind up looking like you just completed a mud run; use too-pale highlighter and get ghostly half-moons under your eyes. read more

And heading into this spring, most anglers will agree that fishing in North Dakota the past couple of years is as good as it's ever been. It could get even better this year.

4 Surprisingly good for a rehash.Posted: 26/10/2010I quite enjoyed this to be truthful. Its not got the tongue in cheek style that the originals had but its been remade with a certain amount of faith to the source material. Several scenes have been borrowed from the old films and remade. I wasn't too sure about Freddy's new look, I thought some of the make up was a bit iffy but Jackie Earl Haley's performance and the fact that you rarely see his face fully kinda detracts from it. I felt is was a pretty solid way to remake the character for the modern audience. Freddy's not the jovial psychopath he once was. He's now been replaced with a very angry, very dark and far more sinister character. I'm a big fan of the original movies and I still have to say Robert Englunds Freddy is better, but they could have done alot worse on this remake.As for the review below that said you can't replace the main characters actors, tell that to James Bond, seems to work fine for him. All in all a pretty solid movie, if your expecting it to have the same style the original had then I'd skip it, theres not really a laugh to be had here. If thats what you're looking for I'd reccomend something like Jack Brooks Monster Slayer, Plane Terror or Feast. But if you want to see a fairly descent reimagining of a classic horror character in a new contemparty style then give it a go, its better than the Friday 13th remake but not as good as the new Halloween (1 not 2) in my opinion. I've been wighing up wether to give it 3 or 4 stars if I'm honest so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and give if 4 seeing as I think the low reviews aren't very fair but its at the low end of 4 stars.
Medal Of Honor: Limited Edition PlayStation3 4 New from £10.48 Free delivery Available used from £2.95
3 Really quite average.Posted: 15/10/2010I was expecting big things of this, its a well established franchise and I've really loved some of the past titles. Sadly it just seems like it was rushed. Nothing seems to have really been considered past "Hey! Lets make a new Medal of Honor, and lets do what everyone else is doing and make it modern day!". The single player for me was the biggest dissapointment, I was stunned when a mere 4 or so hours in the credits rolled. The one thought going through my head was "Are you ****ing kidding me? I payed for that!". Also a big let down for me was the distinct lack of any real plot, not don't get me wrong, I wasn't a fan of MW2s plot either, mainly because I prefered the old CoD storytelling of being part of an army instead of being a ramboesqe one man killing machine, so to that end the missions here are good. They make you feel that you're part of something bigger being amongst troops on the battlefield when playing as a ranger and calling in the airsupport, laying down supressing fire etc. But even though it ticks these boxes theres no real direction in the narrative. No purpose or theme binding them together other than: Theres a war going on, you're in it, have at it son! It would have been nice to see some sort of story construct and a distinct ending, it just doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. But enough about 1P.Multiplayer, so heres where you will most likley spend most of your time, unless you're that deflated by the campaign you trade it in. Its good, thats it really. It's not great, just ok. I read a review about it where the journalist implied that DICE deliberatley didn't give it their all so as to not step on the Battlefield franchises toes, and to me that seem slike a pretty fair assesment. First of the peak and lean from 1P and going prone is gone. I still can't get my head round the decision to use two engines for the one game, gives the two aspects totally different feels like they shouldn't even be on the same title. The progression is typical of battlefield: BC2, you only level the class you use. Its a campers paradise on here and even the most mal-coordinated of us will easily pull in a fairly descent KTD with a sniper rifle. I'm probably selling it short a bit too much here, Let me just say it IS fun, just not as refined or polished as MW2 or BC2. The Kill chains are a neat addition, kinda like MW2 but at the same time kinda not, once you get a certain scorechain you are awarded with a level of reward, you can use either offensive ones like mortars, sirstrikes etc or defensive ones, UAVs, flack jackets etc. You make this choise in the field rather than selecting what you take pre-game like MW2. I find this a nice twist as you can react to the situatoion in the battle a little more, makes you a bit more versatile.All in all a good title, but not anything to write home about. Might keep you entertained for a few weeks till Black Ops hits the shelves. I'm just gonna hold onto mine for the Battlefield 3 beta in all honesty. Such a shame the development seems so fragmented, this franchise really deserved better.
1 What utter garbage.Posted: 28/08/2009This is a red hot steaming pile. It is meant to be a camcorder shot horror movie in the style of Blair Witch, Cloverfield, Diary of the Dead and so on. They seem to be getting ever more popular these days. Whilst some manage to be passable as films, others just seem to be using it as an excuse for what I can only assume is lack of a descent story, scriptwrite or directot. As you would expect from this kind of film it uses unknown actors if they even are actors. It was incredibly predictable and fairly dissapointing. Dragged on far too much, was way too boring and there was pretty much no horror elements too it at all, just an hour and a bit of 20 somethings arguing with each other all the time.
4 Based on BetaPosted: 25/08/2009I was in closed beta playing right up until open beta ended yesterday. Based on what I've seen from my experience there this game is alot of fun. Firstly character creation is imense, if you've played the CoX games it will be familiar to you however the customisation is taken up to another level, hundereds of options and a multitude of sliders, 4 colour combination instead of CoX's 2 and also the ability to customise individual parts like shouders, gloves eyes etc instead of both.The game plays like its intended to, more like a console game than a traditional MMO, the standard settitings needed some customisation to work best for me but thats just a personal thing. As it wasa designed to be portable to Xbox (more info pending we are told) it plays on the xbob game pad, and suprisingly well too. For an MMO it doesn't follow the usual holy trinity of Healer, Tank and Dps, the game has done away with classes and you create your character by picking literraly any powers you want from the whole game. Of course it is still possible to create a healer or a tank but the style of play makes it possible to take powers from all aspects and switch between roles using the "roles" and "builds" systems.The nemesis system is an awesome addition, usiing the same creator that you create your characters with you can create an arch enemy, pick his henchmen and personality and he/she will attack you randomly and there will me mission arcs leading to the grande finale showdown.Its not without its bugs of course. Whilst I know it was just a beta I'd expect to see a few creep past into launch. But I have played half a dozen MMORPG launches and if I'm honest this beta was probably more polished than all of them. Gameplay can get a bit repetetive some times and there are only 5 zones making it in at launch. We have been told by criptic they have a long term commitment to bring out quality content updates on a regular basis, this of course remains to be seen.PvP is in aswell in the form of competition matches, underground fighting rings and apocalypse training scenarios. In a similar fashion to WAR xp can be earned via PvP but at a slightly lower rate than PvE. Also taken from WAR is the open mission concept whereby a mission happeens in progresivly harder stages out in the open world and any player in the are can drop in and take part, grouped or not and reveive a share of the rewards.The game wil include microtransactions in the future which is something I always find diagreeable in a pay 2 play MMO but we have been assured anything that effects gameplay will be achievable in game and anything else is cosmetic. Another criticism I have is that some of the descriptions for powers and advantages and often game mechanics is vague and confusing though they do seem to be updating alot of it on a regular basis.All in all I loved my time on this and can't wait for it to be released. Whether the game has the ability to keep me on for a long time I have yet to see. I'm looking forwards to see what the end game content is trully like and whether the promised content lives up to the PR. I'm also looking forward to the future addition of SG bases, a greate feature from CoX that hasn't made it into launch on CO. But I highly reccomend this game to any super entheusiast and look forward to seeing you in there, it would have had 5 stars had there been just that little bit more variety in the game world but I have faith that will come soon enough.
5 WOW! Enough said!Posted: 24/10/2008You must buy this! Its amazing. Gripping and tense right from the go. The mutants kinda remind me of the suffering and I'm not to sure whats going on with his freaky helmet. Real atmosphere, resi in space in an understatment.
5 Fantastic!!!Posted: 10/10/2008Don't listen to the nay sayers, this is the mutz nutz! If you like films like Evil Dead and Planet Terror and the like, I garuantee you will love this! So tounge in cheek, totaly over the top and hillarious. If you're looking for a straight laced belivable thriller then look elswhere. If you want gore guts and laughs this is the one for you. Top notch!

Picked it up and installed a bunch of cool add ons I'd already bought.
Installed a Ghost Edge connector, Lone Wolf stainless steel RSA, Talon grips, chrome package, grip plug, nail polished the engraving, XS Big Dot sights and an OEM extended mag release.
I can't believe how well this pistol shot! So much easier to control than my old XDM 4.5 40! Virtually no muzzle jump!
I shot a few 155 Rem JHP that didn't even raise the muzzle! Wow!!
The Ghost Edge is AWESOME! I'll be getting one for my 27!
I shot a few from the retention position, AND to the haters, I survived any horrific muzzle flash injuries! AMAZING!
I did get a little smudge of black on the edge of my sight. Oh well! Not an issue!
I didn't test the low light blinding muzzle flash farse. Hopefully next week I will.
Overall it highly recommend this especially if your a new shooter or have bad wrists or hands.

With 32-pages of full-color inserts, and black-and-white illustrations throughout.
Alex Danchev gives us the first comprehensive assessment of the revolutionary work and restless life of Paul Cezanne to be published in decades. One of the most influential painters of his time and beyond, Cezanne was the exemplary artist-creator of the modern age who changed the way we see the world.
With brisk intellect, rich documentation, and eighty-eight color and fifty-two black-and-white illustrations, Danchev tells the story of an artist who was originally considered a madman, a barbarian, and a sociopath. Beginning with the unsettled teenager in Aix, Danchev takes us through the trials of a painter who believed that art must be an expression of temperament but was tormented by self-doubt, who was rejected by the Salon for forty years, who sold nothing outside his immediate circle until his thirties, who had a family that he kept secret from his father until his forties, who had his first exhibition at the age of fifty-six�but who fiercely maintained his revolutionary beliefs. Danchev shows us how the beliefs Cezanne held and the life he led became the obsession and inspiration of artists, writers, poets, and philosophers from Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to Samuel Beckett and Allen Ginsberg. A special feature of the book is a remarkable series of Cezanne�s self-portraits, reproduced in full color.
Cezanne is not only the fascinating life of a visionary artist and extraordinary human being but also a searching assessment of his ongoing influence in the artistic imagination of our time. A stunning portrait of a monumentally important artist, this is a biography not to be missed.
ALEX DANCHEV was educated at University College, Oxford; Trinity Hall, Cambridge; and King�s College London. He is the author of several highly acclaimed biographies, including Georges Braque. His most recent books are a collection of essays, On Art and War and Terror, and 100 Artists� Manifestos. He writes regularly for The Times Literary Supplement and Times Higher Education. He has held fellowships at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.; St. Antony�s College, Oxford; and King�s College London. He is a professor of international relations at the University of Nottingham. He lives in England.

Today's featured cuties are two tiny yet fierce nocturnal predators. Both creatures have large ears and eyes to help them track their prey in dark jungle nights. With each having similar characteristics that include a soft fluffy coat begging to be stroked, the two animals come from different areas of the world. While a majority of bush babies can be found in areas of Africa, the tarsier reigns in the islands of Southeast Asia.
Now it's your turn to make a decision! Tell us which is your favorite of these tiny primates and check back next Tuesday for the results!
Tarsiers are afraid of the dark. That's why they have such big eyes and ears, so that nothing can sneak up on them.
-Sally Squeeps
This guy is kinda cute, but the weird buggy eyes combined with the crazy fingers make tarsiers land right on the line between awwwwww and ewwwwww. What do you guys think?
Squee lovers, I know none of us here on Daily Squee are strangers to tarsiers... but I don't think I've ever seen a tarsier quite as... erm, unnerving... as the one above.
Seems like a good Creepicute contestant, if you ask me. What are your thoughts?

Very cheap looking. Looks like something you would find at a low price department store
Anonymous, Naples, FL – January 2015
Love this little necklace - I was looking at similar items in a department store that were twice the price and not nearly as nice!! Sure glad I bought from Blue Nile instead!
Sherry, Aurora, CO – August 2014
Very pretty, simple yet tasteful necklace. Just the right size for young adults or adults. Just enough sparkle. Love.

JS101: Object.create
The inheritance examples we looked at last week used the form Rectangle.prototype = new Shape()
. The reason I like this example is it shows how powerful prototypes are, despite their simplicity. The downside is the constructor for the parent object is executed, which isn't always what's desired.
ECMAScript 5 introduced Object.create
, which creates new objects based on a prototype object and an additional set of properties.
The main differences between B.prototype = new A();
and B.prototype = Object.create(A.prototype)
are as follows:
- The constructor,
isn't called, soB
remains uninitialised until instantiated Object.create
accepts a second argument that causesObject.create
to behave as ifObject.defineProperties
was called
Using Object.create
Last week's Shape
example could be rewritten to use Object.create
function Shape() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
console.log('Shape constructor called');
Shape.prototype = {
move: function(x, y) {
this.x += x;
this.y += y;
// Rectangle
function Rectangle() {
console.log('Rectangle constructor called');
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape);
Now rectangles can be created with var rect = new Rectangle()
and the original Shape
constructor won't be called. This leaves us with a cleaner prototype chain, but what if we still want to call the previous constructor? In this particular example, calling the Shape
constructor is desirable because we'll avoid duplicating some initialisation code.
Calling Constructors
By using the Function.prototype.call
or apply
methods, it's entirely possible to call another constructor even when using Object.create
. For example:
function Shape() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
console.log('Shape constructor called');
Shape.prototype = {
move: function(x, y) {
this.x += x;
this.y += y;
// Rectangle
function Rectangle() {
console.log('Rectangle constructor called');
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape.prototype);
The fact call
and apply
take a this
parameter (known as ThisBinding in the ECMAScript specification) allows us to reuse constructors where required.
No Inheritance: Object.create(null)
By passing null
to Object.create
, objects can be created that don't inherit from anything. By default Object.prototype
is used, which has several built-in methods. What if we don't want to inherit from Object.prototype
function Shape() {
Shape.prototype = Object.create(null);
var shape = new Shape();
In this example, undefined
will be printed – objects created using the Shape
constructor inherit from null
Notice that this is not equivalent:
function Shape() {
Shape.prototype = null;
var shape = new Shape();
This should print something like [Function: toString]
rather than undefined
It's interesting to think about exactly why this is useful. In An Object is not a Hash, Guillermo Rauch discusses how the properties of Object.prototype
can be used to potentially cause security issues, and Object.create(null)
was suggested as a suitable means for creating a "clean" object to avoid the problem.
Another point is performance. These Object.create(null) benchmarks demonstrate iterating over various objects, and the Object.create(null)
tests run faster than object literals.
However, be very careful when using this approach because so many libraries expect objects to have the standard methods.
The Second Argument to Object.create
According to the Annotated ECMAScript 5 Object.create documentation, passing a second argument behaves as if Object.defineProperties
had been called. This method requires a bit of knowledge before it can be used – the properties have to be passed in the expected format.
In this example, Rectangle
inherits from Shape
and gets a property called animate
at the same time:
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Rectangle.prototype, {
animate: {
value: function() {
this.animating = true;
var rect = new Rectangle();
Now rect.animate()
can be called, just like any other method. Notice that the second argument is in the form { propertyName: { value: function() {} } }
– the value
property is important and I haven't arbitrarily picked it. These properties are known as property attributes.
Property attributes can be "named data" and "named attribute" properties. These additional flags can be applied to named data properties:
: Determines if the property is writableenumerable
: Should this property be included infor-in
: Iffalse
, attempts to delete or change the property's attributes will fail
Although this is new to ECMAScript 5, it adds a much desired level of control to properties and their definition.
Getters and Setters
Property attributes allow JavaScript to support getters and setters with a lightweight syntax:
function Rectangle() {
this._animating = false;
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape.prototype, {
animating: {
get: function() {
console.log('Rectangle.prototype.animating get');
return this._animating;
set: function(value) {
console.log('Rectangle.prototype.animating set');
this._animating = value;
var rect = new Rectangle();
rect.animating = true;
In this example I've renamed animating
to _animating
, but it can still be accessed using rect.animating
because I've defined an animating
property with a get
and set

Nuclear talks resume: Iran looking for respect and reciprocity
The third round of nuclear talks begins tomorrow in Moscow between Iran and the P5+1 group of the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany.
Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, arrived in Moscow today for critical talks with world powers, flying economy class with his team on Russia's state airline, Aeroflot.
Mr. Jalili projects a "common man" image, but upon his shoulders may rest the high-stakes result of the third round of nuclear talks, which begins tomorrow in Moscow.
Expectations are low that Iran and the P5+1 group (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany) can strike a deal that will at once permanently prevent any Iranian push for an atomic bomb and preserve for Iran most of its advanced nuclear program.
Hopes raised in Istanbul, Turkey, in April were set back in Baghdad in May, when the P5+1 initial proposal went much further than Iran expected. It required Iran to suspend all uranium enrichment and give up entirely on higher-level enrichment, with no immediate easing of tough economic sanctions.
Since then, acrimonious exchanges and demands by politicians opposed to compromise in both the US and Iran, have made a breakthrough here even less likely.
