Today, we have taken the final major step toward ending the discriminatory 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law that undermines our military readiness and violates American principles of fairness and equality. ... As Commander in Chief, I have always been confident that our dedicated men and women in uniform would transition to a new policy in an orderly manner that preserves unit cohesion, recruitment, retention and military effectiveness. Today's action follows extensive training of our military personnel and certification by Secretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen that our military is ready for repeal. As of September 20th, service members will no longer be forced to hide who they are in order to serve our country. Our military will no longer be deprived of the talents and skills of patriotic Americans just because they happen to be gay or lesbian.
Obama signed [JURIST report] the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 [HR 2965 materials] into law in December, shortly after it was approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives [JURIST reports]. Last week, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] ordered DADT to remain partially in place [JURIST report] in order for the court to fully consider the issues concerning the policy's complete repeal. The Ninth Circuit had previously ordered a halt to the policy's enforcement, prompting the Obama administration to ask the court to reinstate the policy [JURIST reports] until the repeal process was complete.
Last month, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] passed [JURIST report] the "Human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity" resolution [text, PDF] with a vote of 23-19 and 3 abstentions [UN webcast archive]. All African nations involved voted against the resolution except for South Africa, where gay marriage is legalized. As of the 2011 International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) [advocacy website] State-Sponsored Homophobia report [text, PDF], 76 countries still criminalize same-sex relationships, and five enforce the death penalty against homosexuals.
In addition, during its investigation missions in Bushani, the team found packagings bearing the references of food rations distributed to "screened" battalions which received support from MONUSCO within the framework of Operation "Hatua Yamana." In so far as the investigations carried out by the team could establish the presence of the 2331 battalion in particular in the area of the villages attacked between the end of December 2010 and the beginning of January 201129, it cannot be excluded that the alleged perpetrators of the violations were FARDC soldiers who had received support from MONUSCO.
In February, a military court found Lt Col Kibibi Mutware guilty of involvement in mass rapes [JURIST report] that took place on New Year's Day and sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment, dismissing him from the military. This has been the only action taken on the issue. DRC has been struggling with a number of human rights issues. Last month, a military court sentenced four policemen to death for killing prominent human rights activist Floribert Chebeya last year. In early October, Human Rights Watch called for the DRC government [JURIST report] to arrest general Bosco Ntaganda pursuant to an outstanding warrant for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website]. Earlier that same week French authorities arrested a leader [JURIST report] of the FDLR for crimes committed by that group in the DRC. In October, UN peacekeeping forces and the DRC government arrested Mai Mai Cheka [JURIST report] for allegedly leading a rebel group responsible for mass rapes in the country.
This is a big win for America's job creators and investors. We applaud the court's decision to prevent special interest politics from being injected into the boardroom. Companies and directors need to continue to focus on the important work of creating jobs and reviving our economy. Today's decision also sends a strong message that regulators need to meet their statutory requirement to clearly prove that the benefits of regulation outweigh the costs.
Some investor groups, including labor unions and pension funds, espouse proxy access rules, arguing that such rules ensure that company management is held accountable [WSJ report]. Companies, however, contend that proxy access rules give too much power to minority or special interest groups. The SEC was authorized to implement proxy access rules under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act [text, PDF], which was signed into law [JURIST report] by President Barack Obama in July 2010 and created the new regulatory council to monitor financial institutions in order to prevent companies from becoming "too big to fail." In addition to creating the US Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) [offical website], this legislation also gives the Federal Reserve [official website] new oversight over the largest financial institutions, creates a bureau of consumer protection, introduces multitudes of new regulations on derivatives and other financial instruments and limits the amount of capital banks can invest in hedge funds. In June 2009, the administration proposed a broad series of regulatory reforms [press release; JURIST report] aimed at restoring confidence in the US financial system in the wake of economic crisis [JURIST news archive].
Mexico has struggled to combat the drug cartels' influence on the government and the country as a whole. There have been more than 27,000 drug-related deaths since 2006 [STRATFOR report], and the violence has steadily escalated over the last few years. In April 2009, Mexico's Senate passed a constitutional amendment [JURIST report] permitting the seizure of suspected drug traffickers' property prior to their conviction. In 2008, a former assistant attorney general was arrested for receiving bribes, and Mexico's prosecutor's office admitted that it had been infiltrated [JURIST reports] by the drug cartels.
We are extremely pleased that, for the time being, women in North Dakota will still have access to an alternative to surgical abortion that has been widely recognized as safe and effective by medical experts and organizations around the world. This law has nothing to do with protecting women's health—it defies reason, science and medical expertise in a clandestine attempt to limit women's access to abortion.
North Dakota is one of many states to introduce more restrictive abortion regulations in recent months. In June, the Ohio House of Representatives [official website] voted 54-43 to approve legislation [HB 125] that would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable [JURIST report], which could occur as early as six weeks into the pregnancy. The Iowa House of Representatives [official website] also voted in June in favor of a bill [HF-1736 text, PDF] that would effectively ban abortions after 18 weeks of pregnancy [JURIST report], making it the most restrictive abortion law in the country. In May, a judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio [official website] upheld an Ohio law [2919.123 text] that limits the use of the "abortion pill" [JURIST report], overturning a 2006 injunction [JURIST report]. Oklahoma has also prohibited the use of mifepristone [JURIST report]. Multiple states have acted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, when some studies suggest a fetus can begin feeling pain, including Missouri, Indiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas and Idaho [JURIST reports].
This draft law poses a serious threat to freedom of expression in the Kingdom in the name of preventing terrorism. If passed it would pave the way for even the smallest acts of peaceful dissent to be branded terrorism and risk massive human rights violations. At a time when people throughout the Middle East and North Africa have been exercising their legitimate right to express dissent and call for change, Saudi Arabian authorities have been seeking to squash this right for its citizens. King Abdullah must reconsider this law and ensure that his people's legitimate right to freedom of expression is not curtailed in the name of fighting terrorism.
The proposed law comes in response to recent civil unrest in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern and North African nations, but this is not the first time Saudi Arabia has been criticized for rigid counterterrorism practices. Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] reported [text, PDF] in 2009 that Saudi Arabia was illegally detaining thousands [press release] under the auspices of combating terrorism. The report echoed another AI report [text; JURIST report] which claimed that Saudi Arabian officials were allegedly using anti-terrorism measures as an excuse to secretly detain, imprison, torture and even kill thousands of people. In February 2009, the US Department of State released its 2008 Report on Human Rights Practices for Saudi Arabia [text; JURIST report], in which it identified several significant human rights issues, including denial of public trials and lack of due process in the judicial system, detention of political prisoners, incommunicado detention and lack of government transparency. Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz [official website, in Arabic] announced in October 2008 that the kingdom had indicted 991 [Reuters report] suspected al Qaeda members. HRW sought access [HRW request] to the trials in an attempt to ensure compliance with international standards, but was denied.
Hadzic was a key player in the Bosnian Civil War [JURIST news archive] and has been at large for approximately seven years. Hadzic's official charges [case information sheet, PDF] are: persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds; extermination; murder; torture; inhumane acts; deportation and forcible transfer; cruel treatment; wanton destruction of villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity; destruction or willful damage done to institutions dedicated to education and religion; and plunder of public or private property. Hadzic's indictment contends that, in his role as president of the Serbian nationalist forces during the war, he attempted to permanently and forcibly remove a majority of the Croat and other non-Serb population from the disputed territory. He is accused of murdering or ordering the murders of hundreds of non-Serb citizens, including children and the elderly. Further, he allegedly displaced more than 20,000 non-Serb civilians. Hadzic was found near the small Serbian village of Krusedol [B92 report], living under a false name. Although he was armed, he did not resist arrest. He was discovered after attempting to sell a painting by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, due to running out of money to facilitate his hiding. Hadzic was also reportedly harbored by members of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) [official website]. Hadzic was the final remaining war criminal at large from the Bosnian Civil War, along with Ratko Mladic [JURIST news archive], who was arrested in May [JURIST report].
Anti-union and anti-collective bargaining laws have been a major issue of controversy in the US this year. In March, the New Hampshire House of Representatives [official website] passed an amendment to their current budget that would require public employees to make concessions automatically [AP report] or become at-will employees. Earlier that month Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker [official website] signed a bill [JURIST report] limiting the rights of state workers to collectively bargain. Although the law was enjoined by judicial order, it has since been upheld [JURIST reports] by the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website].

In Rainbows is the seventh studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. It was self-released on 10 October 2007 as a download via a pay-what-you-want model, followed by a standard CD release in most countries in the last week of 2007. The album was released in North America on 1 January 2008 on TBD Records. In Rainbows was Radiohead's first release after the end of their contract with EMI and the end of the longest gap between studio albums in their career.
Recording with producer Nigel Godrich, Radiohead worked on In Rainbows for more than two years, beginning in early 2005. In between recording, the band toured Europe and North America for three months in mid-2006. The songwriting on In Rainbows was more personal than other Radiohead albums, with singer Thom Yorke describing most tracks as his versions of "seduction songs".[1] Radiohead incorporated a wide variety of musical styles and instruments, using not only electronic music and string arrangements, but also pianos, celestes, and the ondes Martenot.
Upon its retail release, In Rainbows entered the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200 at number one; by October 2008, it had sold more than three million copies worldwide in both digital and physical formats. The album earned widespread critical acclaim and was ranked as one of the best albums of 2007 by several publications. In 2009, it won two Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Special Limited Edition Package.
After a break from writing and recording in 2004, Radiohead began work on their seventh studio album in mid-February 2005.[2] Regular recording sessions began in August 2005, with the band updating fans on their progress intermittently in their new blog, Dead Air Space. Recording continued into early 2006, but the sessions were slow. According to Yorke, "we spent a long time in the studio just not going anywhere, wasting our time, and that was really, really frustrating."[3] The delay was attributed to difficulty regaining momentum after their break,[3] and the lack of both a deadline and producer to push things forward.[4] In the February 2006 sessions, they chose to work with producer Mark Stent instead of their longtime co-producer Nigel Godrich.[5] Bassist Colin Greenwood, commenting on their decision, said "Nigel and the band know each other so well now, it's all got a little too safe."[4] Although the band had written several new songs, little came of the sessions with Stent, which ended in April 2006.
The band decided to tour for the first time in several years, giving themselves a goal to work toward. Yorke said: "Suddenly everyone is being spontaneous and no one's self-conscious because you're not in the studio ... it felt like being 16 again."[3] In May and June 2006, Radiohead toured major cities in Europe and North America, returning to Europe for several festivals in August. The band performed several songs they were working on in the studio.[3]
After the tour, the band restarted recording sessions, this time with Godrich, in October 2006 at Tottenham Court House in Marlborough, Wiltshire, a condemned mansion described by guitarist Ed O'Brien as an "old country pile ... crumbling at the seams." In contrast to the deadlocked 2005 sessions, the sessions were productive; final versions of "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Bodysnatchers" were recorded at the house.[6] Yorke said on Dead Air Space that the band had "started the record properly now ... starting to get somewhere I think. Finally."[7] Further sessions at Halswell House, Taunton, and Godrich's Hospital Studios in Covent Garden, where the band recorded "Videotape" and put together a final version of "Nude", took place in late December 2006.[6] In January 2007, Radiohead resumed their recording sessions in their Oxfordshire studio, and started to post photos, lyrics, videos and samples of new songs on Dead Air Space.[8] In late April, Yorke stated that Radiohead had a CD of material ready for consideration.[9] In June, Godrich posted clippings of the mixed songs on Dead Air Space, including "Jigsaw Falling into Place",[10] "Down Is the New Up", "Bangers + Mash", "All I Need", "Faust Arp" and "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi".[11] Recording having wrapped up in June, Bob Ludwig mastered the album in July 2007 at Gateway Mastering, New York City.[12]
Music and lyrical content[edit]
"Nude", originally written in 1997, represents Radiohead's merging of their minimalist, electronic and dub-influenced musical style with a quiet ballad.
In "House of Cards", Radiohead turns toward more traditional love ballads, while still retaining their electronic edge.

The album features many of the tracks debuted on Radiohead's 2006 tour, including "15 Step", "Bodysnatchers", "All I Need", "Videotape", "Arpeggi" and "Open Pick" (the last two being retitled "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" and "Jigsaw Falling into Place", respectively). The song "Nude", which premiered live during the OK Computer world tour, was finally released in 2007 on In Rainbows, albeit with a different arrangement. "Reckoner", which premiered live in 2001, was also released on this album, but in a completely different form; Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood worked on extra material for the song and subsequently abandoned the original material.[13]
On the opening track "15 Step", the band enlisted the help of a group of children from the Matrix Music School & Arts Centre in Oxford.[14] Colin Greenwood and Godrich originally set out to record handclaps for the song, but when the clapping proved "not quite good enough", they decided to record the children cheering instead.[1] "Bodysnatchers", a song Yorke described as sounding like Wolfmother and "Neu! meets dodgy hippy rock",[4] was recorded when he was in a period of "hyperactive mania".[1] On "All I Need", Jonny Greenwood wanted to recapture the white noise generated by a band playing loudly in a room, a sound which never occurs in the studio. His solution was to have a string section play every note of the scale, blanketing the frequencies.[15] Yorke described the process of composing "Videotape" as "absolute agony", stating that the song "went through every possible parameter". One day, Yorke left the studio, returning to find that Godrich and Jonny Greenwood had stripped the song down to the version found on the album, a minimal piano ballad.[16]
Yorke has said that the album's lyrics are based on "that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking, 'I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something else' ... it's similar to OK Computer in a way. It's much more terrifying."[17] At the same time, Yorke felt "there's very little anger in In Rainbows. It's in no way political, or, at least, doesn't feel that way to me. It very much explores the ideas of transience. It starts in one place and ends somewhere completely different."[18] In another interview, Yorke said the album was "about the fucking panic of realising you're going to die! And that any time soon [I could] possibly [have] a heart attack when I next go for a run."[19]
Ed O'Brien described the lyrics, saying "They were universal. There wasn't a political agenda. It's being human."[20] The song "Bodysnatchers" is inspired by Victorian ghost stories, the 1972 novel The Stepford Wives and Yorke's feeling of "your physical consciousness trapped without being able to connect fully with anything else."[15] "Jigsaw Falling into Place" is about a set of observations and different experiences, partly of the chaos witnessed by Yorke when he used to go out on the weekend in Oxford. Yorke said "The lyrics are quite caustic—the idea of 'before you're comatose' or whatever, drinking yourself into oblivion and getting fucked-up to forget ... [there] is partly this elation. But there's a much darker side."[1]
The In Rainbows artwork was designed by Stanley Donwood, who has worked with Yorke in designing Radiohead's album art since 1994.[21] Donwood worked in the studio as Radiohead were working on the album, which allowed the mood of the music to be conveyed in the album artwork,[18] and regularly put up images in the studio and on the studio computer for the band to interact with and comment on. He also posted images daily on the band's website, though none of the images were used in the final album artwork.[22] Donwood experimented with a photographic etching technique, putting prints into acid baths with various results,[23] and throwing wax at paper, creating images influenced by NASA's space photographs.[18] Donwood originally planned to explore suburban life, but realised it did not fit the album's sound, saying "it's a sensual record and I wanted to do something more organic." Describing the album cover, Donwood said: "It's very colourful — I've finally embraced colour! It's a rainbow but it is very toxic, it's more like the sort of one you'd see in a puddle." The band decided not to release the cover for the digital release of the album, preferring to hold it back for the physical release.[24] The "discbox" release of the album includes a booklet containing additional artwork by Donwood.[23]
Having fulfilled their six-album contract with EMI with the release of 2003's Hail to the Thief, Radiohead stated after completion of In Rainbows that they had not made a decision on how to release their new material. Yorke suggested the possibility of releasing singles or EPs rather than an album,[25] but ruled out internet-only distribution for fear that some fans would not have internet access.[3] Of Radiohead's relationship with EMI, Yorke said: "We have no record contract as such ... What we would like is the old EMI back again, the nice genteel arms manufacturers who treated music [as] a nice side project who weren't too bothered about the shareholders. Ah well, not much chance of that."[26] He told Yorke told Time: "I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say 'Fuck you' to this decaying business model."[27]
Radiohead retained ownership of the recordings and compositions for In Rainbows. The download and "discbox" versions of the album were self-released; for the physical release, Radiohead licensed the music to record labels.[28] Licensing agreements for all releases continue to be managed by the band's publisher, Warner Chappell Music Publishing.[28]
Formats and promotion[edit]
Jonny Greenwood announced Radiohead's seventh album on 2 October 2007, writing on Radiohead's website: "Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days . . . We've called it In Rainbows".[29] Users could pre-order the album on inrainbows.com, and could pay any amount they wanted, including £0, a landmark use of the pay what you want model for music sales.[15] In a Wired interview, Yorke explained that "every record for the last four — including my solo record — has been leaked. So the idea was like, we'll leak it, then."[16] Radiohead's managers stated that they would not have released the album as a pay-what-you-want download unless they were sure the physical CD would sell well.[30] Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote: "For the beleaguered recording business Radiohead has put in motion the most audacious experiment in years."[15]
For the album's release, Radiohead employed PacketExchange to bypass public internet servers, instead utilising a less-trafficked private network.[31] The staggered online release began at about 5:30 GMT on 10 October 2007. The In Rainbows download, packaged as a ZIP file, included the ten tracks encoded in 160 kbit/s DRM-free MP3 format.[32] On 10 December, the download was removed.[33]
A limited made-to-order physical "discbox" edition of the album was also available for pre-order through inrainbows.com, and was released on 3 December 2007. It contains the album on CD and two 12" heavyweight 45 rpm vinyl records with artwork and lyric booklets, plus an enhanced CD with eight additional tracks, as well as digital photos and artwork. The discbox was packaged in a hardcover book and slipcase and priced at £40 (approx. US$80).[34]
In Rainbows was released on CD and vinyl in Japan by BMG on 26 December 2007,[35] in Australia on 29 December 2007 by Remote Control Records,[36] and in the United States and Canada on 1 January 2008 by ATO imprint TBD Records and MapleMusic/Fontana respectively.[37][38] Elsewhere, the album was released on 31 December 2007 by independent record label XL Recordings.[39] The CD release came in a cardboard package containing the CD, lyric booklet and several stickers; the packaging encouraged a "do-it-yourself" style, whereby the stickers were placed on an unused jewel case to create cover art.[40] In Rainbows was also the first Radiohead album made available for download in several digital music stores, such as the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3.[41] On New Year's Eve 2007, Current TV streamed a webcast of "Scotch Mist", a private concert filmed at Radiohead's Oxford studios,[42] featuring performances of In Rainbows songs, poetry and additional footage. A music video contest for In Rainbows was announced in March 2008, when Radiohead partnered with animation site Aniboom to create a contest where entrants put together storyboards for an animated music video. The winner, who would receive $10,000 to create a full length music video, was chosen by AniBOOM, Radiohead, TBD Records, and Adult Swim, which aired the winning video.[43] The band was so impressed with the overall quality of the contestants it was decided to award $10,000 each to four different winners, plus $1,000 to each of ten semifinalists to create a one-minute clip.[44] To promote In Rainbows, Radiohead toured North America, Europe, South America and Japan from May 2008 until March 2009.[45][46]
Sales and chart placings[edit]
In early October 2007, a Radiohead spokesperson reported that "most people [paid] a normal retail price with very few trying to buy [the download version] for a penny" and that most fans had pre-ordered the discbox.[47] Citing a source close to the band, Gigwise.com reported that by the day of its online release, the album had sold 1.2 million copies.[48] The claim, however, was dismissed by Radiohead manager Bryce Edge as "exaggerated".[49] According to an internet survey of 3,000 people conducted by Record of the Day, about one third of people who downloaded the album paid nothing, with the average price paid being £4.[50] When asked in a December 2007 interview by The Observer how many discboxes were ordered, Radiohead members responded with answers ranging between 60,000 and 80,000.[19] In October 2008, Warner Chappell reported that although most people paid nothing for the download, pre-release sales were more profitable than the total sales of Hail to the Thief, and that the discbox sold 100,000 copies.[51]
In Rainbows' download and "discbox" sales were not eligible for inclusion in the UK Albums Chart because the website is not a chart-registered retailer.[52] The week of its retail release, In Rainbows peaked at number one on the UK Album Chart,[53] with first week sales of 44,602 copies.[54] The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 156 due to street date violations, but reached number one on the chart the following week. It sold 122,000 copies in the United States in its first week of official release, according to SoundScan,[55] making it the 10th independently distributed album to reach number 1 on the Billboard 200.[56] In October 2008, Warner Chappell Music Publishing reported that In Rainbows had sold three million copies (including digital and physical format sales) since its physical release in January.[57] The vinyl edition of In Rainbows was the top selling vinyl album of 2008.[58]
Radiohead released "Jigsaw Falling into Place", "Nude" and "Reckoner" as singles in the UK in early 2008; the singles reached number 30, number 21 and number 74 on the UK Singles Chart respectively.[59] In the US, "Nude" reached number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was also Radiohead's first single to appear on the Billboard Pop 100 chart, peaking at number 35. "Bodysnatchers" reached number eight on the US Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.[60] "Jigsaw Falling into Place" charted more poorly, peaking at number 69 in airplay on alternative rock-oriented stations.[61] "All I Need" was serviced to US adult album alternative radio by TBD Records on 5 January 2009.[62]

In Rainbows received widespread critical acclaim, earning a rating of 88 out of 100 on Metacritic.[71] Rolling Stone gave the album four and a half stars out of five. Reviewer Rob Sheffield felt the album contained "no wasted moments, no weak tracks: just primo Radiohead."[72] A review by NME described the album as "Radiohead reconnecting with their human sides, realising you [can] embrace pop melodies and proper instruments while still sounding like paranoid androids ... this [is] otherworldly music, alright."[73] Allmusic, in a positive review, noted that the album "will hopefully be remembered as Radiohead's most stimulating synthesis of accessible songs and abstract sounds, rather than their first pick-your-price download."[74] Entertainment Weekly called the album "the gentlest, prettiest Radiohead set yet ... [it uses] the full musical and emotional spectra to conjure breathtaking beauty".[75]
Various reviewers, such as The Guardian's Alexis Petridis, attributed the album's quality to Radiohead's performance in the studio and that the band sounded like they were enjoying themselves.[76] Others, such as Billboard's Jonathan Cohen, commended the album for not being overshadowed by its marketing hype.[77] Newsweek ranked the album fifth on its list of the ten best albums of the decade,[78] while Rolling Stone ranked it at number 30 on its list of the 100 best albums of the decade.[79]
Blender's review, although mostly positive, felt the album seemed "to be primarily composed of love songs ... that are starving for human connection but generate all the interpersonal warmth of a GPS system".[80] The Wire was also critical, finding that "there is ... a sense here of a group magisterially marking time, shying away ... from any grand, rhetorical, countercultural purpose."[81]
In Rainbows was ranked as one of the best albums of 2007 by many music publications.[82] It came in at the top spot in Billboard, Mojo and PopMatters' list. NME and The A.V. Club ranked the album third in their lists, Pitchfork Media and Q placed it fourth, while Rolling Stone and Spin ranked it sixth.[82] In Rainbows was nominated for the short list of the 2008 Mercury Music Prize[83] and received nominations for the 51st Grammy Awards: Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album, Producer of the Year, Non-Classical and Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. Three Grammy nominations also went to the song and music video for "House of Cards".[84] In Rainbows won awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Special Limited Edition Package.[85] In 2012, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album No. 336 on their updated version of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[86]

Definition of epaxial in English:
Syllabification: ep·ax·i·alPronunciation: /eˈpaksēəl
Anatomy & Zoology- Situated on the dorsal side of an axis: epaxial musclesMore example sentences
- If a salamander is to swim straight, the action of these muscle fibers must be balanced by muscle fibers dorsal to the vertebral centra, presumably in the epaxial musculature.
- All of this head motion must be executed by epaxial musculature if the pectoral girdle is reduced or lost, which requires a strong anchor and lever for force transmission.
- To the best of my knowledge, this tendon insertional pattern represents a unique morphological construct for cetaceans, mammals that lack connections between epaxial muscles and pelves.

Kwalitee Fails
Core metrics
These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or report us if they are false.
metric | remedy |
no mymeta files |
This distribution contains MYMETA.* files which should be used only locally. This metric should be integrated into 'no_generated_files' eventually, but as MYMETA.* files are recent inventions, you might need to take special care if MANIFEST.SKIP exists in your distribution. Hence this metric. Update MANIFEST.SKIP to exclude MYMETA files. If you are lazy, add "#!install_default" in your MANIFEST.SKIP and update your ExtUtils::Manifest if necessary, then some of the most common files will be excluded. |
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
metric | remedy |
metayml has license |
This distribution does not have a license defined in META.yml. Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31. |
is prereq |
This distribution is not required by another distribution by another author. Convince / force / bribe another CPAN author to use this distribution. |
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
metric | remedy |
metayml has provides |
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml. Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build does this automatically for you. |
has separate license file |
This distribution does not have a LICENSE or LICENCE file in its root directory. This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later. |
easily repackageable by fedora |
It is easy to repackage this module by Fedora. Fix each one of the metrics this depends on. |
fits fedora license |
Fits the licensing requirements of Fedora (Acceptable licenses: (perl, apache, artistic_2, gpl, lgpl, mit, mozilla)). Replace the license or convince Fedora to accept this license as well. |

In a rapidly escalating dispute between allies, 43 people, including 19 Americans, are to face trial in Egypt for their work in promoting democracy. They include the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Sam LaHood was running the Cairo office of the International Republican Institute. The case against him and others has caused a furious reaction in Washington — with lawmakers threatening to hold up U.S. aid to Egypt.
According to the libertarian social scientist Charles Murray, America is "coming apart at the seams." Class strain has cleaved society into two groups, he argues in his new book Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010: an upper class, defined by educational attainment, and a new lower class, characterized by the lack of it. Murray also posits that the new "lower class" is less industrious, less likely to marry and raise children in a two-parent household, and more politically and socially disengaged
For millions of people in the developing world, one thing stands between them and a job or an education: a good pair of glasses.

Cuba is the only country in the world the U.S. government restricts its own citizens from visiting. Americans can go to Burma, Iran, even North Korea if those places give them a visa.
The Obama administration has now relaxed travel rules for Cuba, leading to a surge in U.S.-government approved tours to the island. But in the U.S., some lawmakers staunchly opposed to the Castro government say the travel programs are filled with heavy doses of propaganda.
So-called helicopter parents first made headlines on college campuses a few years ago, when they began trying to direct everything from their children's course schedules to which roommate they were assigned.
With millennial children now in their 20s, more helicopter parents are showing up in the workplace, sometimes even phoning human resources managers to advocate on their child's behalf.
Megan Huffnagle, a former human resources manager at a Denver theme park, recalls being shocked several years ago when she received a call from a young job applicant's mother.

No parent holds a new baby and thinks that within a year they will have seriously injured or even killed that child. Or that the violence could be sparked by something as common as a baby's cry.
But each year, more than 4,000 young children are hospitalized because they've been seriously injured, usually by a parent, and about 300 die. Babies under age 1 are the most likely victims, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.

Piranha Bytes - New RPG Teaser Site
August 23rd, 2007, 20:37
World of Piranha Bytes is pointing out a site called rpb.deepsilver.com, which is a teaser site for Piranha Bytes' new project. The game remains untitled and there is only a couple of short German sentances and a single piece of art to look at - but one can reasonably assume from the art that the project is a fantasy RPG.
More information.

Interesting. I'm glad to see that they're not resting on their post-Jowood, post-Gothic laurels. I have to say I hold out more hope for this project (a non-Gothic-branded game by the Gothic-developers) than I do for Jowood's (a Gothic-branded game by non-Gothic-developers).

It's because you get forwarded to German site Gameswelt where WoP is hosted and the download does not start because all 100 download slots are busy (that's what the red German text on the left side of the screen says ). So you could keep hammering it repeatedly until you get a free slot or try again after the GC is over. There is simply a lot of stuff, demos and media being put out and downloaded right now.

Faculty member has chapter published in book
Dr. William Heyborne, assistant professor of biology at Morningside College, recently had a chapter published in the book "Handbook of Venoms and Toxins of Reptiles."
Heyborne co-wrote chapter 16 titled "Cysteine-Rich Secretory Proteins in Reptile Venoms." Reptile venoms are a specialty of Heyborne's. He completed his Ph.D. on this subject.
This book examines and explains venomous reptiles and the biology of venoms. Furthermore, the differences between venoms, the way venom is delivered, and the effects of venom on humans are explained.
Heyborne has been at Morningside since 2007. His research interests include many aspects of community ecology, including predator-prey interactions and biodiversity. His research endeavors have included work in the biological roles of snake and spider venoms, insect community ecology, forest entomology, and reptile and amphibian natural history.
Heyborne received a bachelor's degree in biology and zoology from Southern Utah University in 1997, a master's degree in entomology from Oregon State University in 2000, and a doctorate in biological education from Northern Colorado in 2007.

With the Secretary of Transportation scheduled to develop a comprehensive plan for non-government drones as soon as November 2012, Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-MA) on Wednesday released a discussion draft of legislation that would ensure that privacy considerations are included in the rulemaking process for licenses for "unmanned aircraft systems", commonly known as drones, and that the public is made aware of drone licenses and times and locations of commercial drone flights. Entitled the "Drone Aircraft Privacy and Transparency Act of 2012," the draft bill amends the FAA Modernization and Reform Act to include provisions on FAA rulemaking, data collection and minimization, enforcement, and disclosure.
The FAA estimates that by 2020, there could be 30,00 drones in use over American skies. Many drones are designed to carry surveillance equipment, including video cameras, infrared thermal imagers, radar, and wireless network sniffers, with the capability of collecting sensitive information from the skies above. The FAA has already begun issuing limited drone certifications for government entities. "When it comes to privacy protections for the American people, drones are flying blind," said Rep. Markey, senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and co-Chair of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus. "Drones are already flying in U.S. airspace – with thousands more to come – but with no privacy protections or transparency measures in place. We are entering a brave new world, and just because a company soon will be able to register a drone license shouldn't mean that company can turn it into a cash register by selling consumer information. Currently, there are no privacy protections or guidelines and no way for the public to know who is flying drones, where, and why. The time to implement privacy protections is now. This discussion draft will help ensure that pilotless aircraft isn't privacy-less aircraft and the strongest safeguards are put into place for Americans." Specifically, Rep. Markey's legislation amends the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, adding the following provisions:
"We don't want to live in country with 'eyes in the sky'," said Amie Stepanovich, Associate Litigation Counsel, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). "EPIC has petitioned the FAA to develop privacy safeguards, and we have urged Congress to crack down on surveillance by drones. Congressman Markey has introduced important legislation that will help protect a fundamental American right." "EFF supports Congressman Markey's efforts to build privacy protections and greater transparency into the drone authorization process," said Jennifer Lynch, Staff Attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation. "Drone surveillance, whether by private or public entities or by law enforcement, poses a real threat to democratic societies, and this bill is a step in the right direction toward limiting that threat."
In April, Reps. Markey and Joe Barton (R-TX) sent a letter querying about the potential privacy implications of non-military drone use. The lawmakers are awaiting response from the agency.

Do you feel like you have to watch every word you say around certain people? Do you want to bring up a subject matter in conversation with someone, but don't, because the eggshells you are walking on would crumble? Dr. Robin says it is time to stop walking on eggshells and to start saying what you feel. "Being able to speak that which is true, from your heart, with integrity, with authenticity, with respect for yourself and the other, it is your birthright," Dr. Robin says.
Dr. Robin says sharing your feelings and expressing yourself can be done in a mature and respectful way. "I think we should be mindful of using our words wisely and being smart about what we say and how we say it and what tone it comes out in," Dr. Robin says. While you may be nervous to stop walking on eggshells, Dr. Robin says you need to remember that watching every word you say is no way to live your life. "You can't really live your life walking in fear," Dr. Robin says. "Fear drains you of your power, it drains you of your joy, and it drains you of your ability to think clearly." |

Before the contract the Timberwolves, they should get rid of the Knicks .... talk about an organization that has be absolutely run into the ground! And Minnesota at least has young talent and a low pay-roll, with future FA money freeing up in 08-09. The Knickerbockers have old, overpaid players that can't win. Plus they're still paying former coaches (Larry Brown) and former players. It will be by the grace of God that the Knicks get to the playoffs in the next 5 years, and that is in the weak Eastern conference. EDIT: I guess this is kind of redudant after reading travmans post. totally agree.
I think you need to be careful with any arguement to get rid of teams. This is the same logic that the Texas schools are using to justify dumping ISU out of the Big XII.
I agree that the Arizona Cardinals are close. They were about as close as they have come in a long time to jumping into the playoffs. I can't remember the last time they were in the playoffs - 1996 I think. But that could have been the year they had Rod Tidwell... wait. That was the plot of Jerry McGuire. It's hard to think that a team like Tampa Bay could be contracted since they are still a relatively new franchise. Of course, by the time the Marlins were 10, they had won two World Series titles...
I believed in Gene Chizik and all I got was this lousy limited-edition commemorative coin.

Carlos Beltran Jermaine Dye Johnny Damon Jeremy Giambi Rey Sanchez Jeff Suppan Jose Offerman Wally Joyner Just a few of the reasons I hate being a Royals fan. Plenty of capable players have been in KC until they have a decent season. Then it is let's make a lopsided in your favor deal for some prospects that will never pan out. Thank you David Glass for your outstanding contribution as owner of the Royals.
any team in Atlanta.
Baseball could be A LOT more competitive if they had this little thing called a "salary cap." That's the reason that the Dolphins could make the playoffs in two years. In reality Tampa Bay will never make the playoffs as long as they are in the same division as N.Y. and Boston. Kansas City will never make it as long as Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit are all there unless K.C. gets really lucky. If baseball just had a $75-$100 million salary cap the Twins wouldn't be trying to unload Santana and N.Y. and Boston wouldn't be locks for two playoff spots every single year. Hopefully MLB can fix this problem soon because it's getting really old watching the same story lines every year come playoff time.
Won't happen...players union won't allow it...
Won't happen...players union won't allow it... Yeah and it's rediculous. You have a P.O.S. like A-Rod that opts out of his $250 million contract so he can sign a $275+ million contract. I'm in the military and I get excited about a $50 raise once a year. HAHA. My paycheck wouldn't be good enough to wipe A-Rod's candy coated backside. How much money does a person honestly need? Baseball is getting to rediculous. I think the owners should just make something happen. What's the worst thing that could happen? The players go on strike again? They won't strike longer than a year then they might have to sell one of their houses or something to put food on the table.
MLB has the worst management of any of the pro leagues. The NFL figured out how to work with the players union and make the league interesting and competitive every year and promote the product. The NBA sucks but at least they have found a way to sell their product by promoting their stars. MLB is led by a guy more worried about making the owners happy than doing his job.

No, the MLB has the strongest union of any of the leagues. They have guaranteed contracts and a solid pension program and take care of their players. The NFL flat out takes advantage of it's players. Sure there are some out there that get paid well. But there are others that are cut due to injury, then never receive the treatment necessary to make it back. Why waste money rehabbing a guy when you can sign another off the street.

When describing chemical compounds, scientists rely on their chemical and physical properties. In lab, we might observe that a metal reacts violently with water, that a reactant is liquid at room temperature, or that a powder is yellow. Chemical and physical properties can be used qualitatively to identify a material or to predict its behavior, or quantitatively to determine how much of that material is present in a solution. In this lab, we will develop a scheme to determine the concentration of copper sulfate in aqueous solution using spectrophotometry.
To start, we will consider light and its interaction with matter. Chemicals exhibit a diverse range of colors, especially when they contain transition metal ions. In order for a compound to have color, it must absorb visible light. Visible light consists of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 nm to 700 nm, a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum shown below.
Light is characterized by its frequency (
A compound will absorb light when the radiation posesses the energy needed to move an electron from its lowest energy (ground) state to some excited state. The particular energies of radiation that a substance absorbs dictate the colors that it exhibits. Conversely the color of a compound can help us to determine its electronic configuration.
White light contains all wavelengths in this visible region. When a transparent sample (like most aqueous solutions) absorbs visible light, the color we perceive is the sum of the remaining colors that are transmitted by the object and strike our eyes. If an object absorbs all wavelengths of visible light, none reaches our eyes, and it appears black. If it absorbs no visible light, it will look white or colorless. If it absorbs all but orange, the material will appear orange. We also perceive an orange color when visible light of all colors except blue strikes our eyes. Orange and blue are complementary colors; the removal of blue from white light makes the light look orange, and vice versa. Thus, an object has a particular color for one of two reasons: It transmits light of only that color or it absorbs light of the complementary color.
Complementary colors can be determined using an artist's color wheel. The wheel shows the colors of the visible spectrum, from red to violet. Complementary colors, such as orange and blue, appear as wedges opposite each other on the wheel.
With our eye, we can make qualitative judgments about the color(s) of light a sample absorbs. However, given a red solution of
Notice the absorption maximum is at 490 nm. Because the sample absorbs more strongly in the green and yellow regions of the visible spectrum, it appears red-violet. Measuring the absorption spectrum of a second, more dilute solution demonstrates that the spectrum changes as a function of the concentration of the solution. To understand how to use the absorption spectrum as a quantitative tool for chemical analysis, read on!
Spectrophotmetric Basics
The essential components of a spectrophotometer consist of a radiation source, a wavelength selector (monochromator), a photodetector and read-out device.
The incident light from a tungsten (visible light source) or deuterium (UV light source) lamp is focused by a lens and passes through an entrance slit. By passing the beam through the monochromator (either a prism or a diffraction grating) it is separated into monochromatic (i.e., one-color or single-wavelength) light. One particular wavelength of monochromatic light is selected and allowed to pass through the exit slit into the sample. Light transmitted through the sample is detected by a photodetector which converts the signal to an electrical current which is measured by a galvanometer and sent to a recording device, typically a computer.
The measurement of transmittance (T) is made by determining the ratio of the intensity of incident (
A = log (1 / T)
Care must be taken when small values of transmittance are being measured as stray light from either the room or scattering within the instrument can cause large errors in your readings!
Extracting Quantitative Information
The Beer-Lambert law relates the amount of light being absorbed to the concentration of the substance absorbing the light and the pathlength through which the light passes:
In this equation, the measured absorbance (A) is related to the molar absorptivity constant (
The single largest application of the spectrophotometer is for quantitative analysis. The prerequisite for such analysis is a known absorption spectrum of the compound under investigation. Of particular importance is the maximum absorption (at
Typical results are shown for the absorbance of
Concentration (mg/mL) | %Transmittance | Absorbance |
0 | 100. | 0 |
1 | 50.0 | 0.301 |
2 | 25.0 | 0.602 |
3 | 12.5 | 0.903 |
Over the studied range the solutions obey Beer's Law. If a solution has a measured absorbance of 0.450, we can calculate its concentration to be 1.5 mg/mL.

The Abundance of Natural Gas is a Double-Edged Sword
The newfound abundance of natural gas carries with it a few main issues, some good, some bad, which I abbreviate as follows:
1) Good news: It holds the potential to lessen the cost and environmental impact of our energy consumption for at least the short term.
2) Bad news: That lowering of costs will make the R&D of renewables less attractive. The consumption of natural gas, a fossil fuel, increases the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change. To the degree that natural gas reduces our exploration of clean energy sources, it's actually causing more harm than good overall.
3) Bad news: Fracking, which makes the whole enterprise of natural gas so appealing, is highly controversial. I hope you'll take a few minutes and check out this video.
