Sir, The problem with us us always the meeting, laughing,meeting again with the g8,G20 and have another meeting with the Arab spring, laugh, have another one like the who moved muy mouse do not act. I have no idea how many times we meet have the skulk of the public broken and we still do not carry out out duties as ought to be. The taxpayers keep on listening to promises, today, tomorrow, but the morrow never comes , tactics of going to China, Iran , Syria, and all the places but we do not act. Is is possible that we lack good leaders and put the program of progress to a halt? At time we get fed up and cry, " No more stupid economic policies. I like the tone of this as it is straight but I think it is too harsh. "Do you ever read any of the books you burn?" "That's against the law!" "Oh. Of course." -Ray Bradbury, science-fiction writer (1920-2012) I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
EARLIER this month in Beijing, China and America held the latest instalment of their Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED), a regular—and by most accounts productive—series of high-level bilateral meetings. Attending were America's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, and treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner. Broad-ranging and important issues like trade, currency, nuclear proliferation filled the agenda. But most attention was focused on the daring flight of a blind lawyer and activist, Chen Guangcheng, from his illegal home detention in Shandong to the American embassy in Beijing.
Before leaving China, Ms Clinton and Mr Geithner held a short press conference. The first question came with a preface about the distraction posed by Mr Chen's case.
"Madam Secretary, it won't surprise you, I think, to get the questions that you're about to get from me, which all have to do with the elephant in the room that's been dogging us," he said.
"The elephant that has been dogging us. That's good, a good start," Ms Clinton said to some laughter, before indicating she was encouraged at signs of progress towards a resolution of Mr Chen's case. That resolution came last week, when Mr Chen and his family were allowed to fly to the United States.
But even as the delicate and dramatic saga of Chen Guangcheng played out, there was at least one other elephant in the room. And far from dogging anyone, it was an elephant that, so to speak, didn't even bark. That elephant is the shift in America's credibility as a paragon and a preacher on the sort of human-rights issues that are at the heart of Mr Chen's ordeal.
America has long felt free to lecture China—and many other countries too—on its shortcomings and failures in the human-rights department. America having never been entirely free of shortcomings itself, there was ever some degree of hypocrisy in this approach. It has long been the common view in China, among officials and common folk alike, that American criticism depends on keeping "double standards" and that America ought to have questions of its own to answer, about things like discrimination against minorities, the long-ago subjugation of indigenous peoples and economic inequality at home, to say nothing of hegemonic behaviour abroad. China's tit-fot-tat annual report on the state of human rights in America, 中国国务院新闻办公室发表, the most recent of which was released on May 25th (the text is carried in full here and in English at China Daily) is only more of the same.
But since September 11th 2001 such questions, it would seem, should have become even sharper. Tactics and policies adopted by the administration of George W. Bush (and largely continued by Barack Obama's), to expand executive power and arbitrary powers of law enforcement, have made them so. Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com has been a particularly articulate and tenacious cataloguer and critic of these policies. (An American broadcaster, Bill Moyers, has chosen to mark the Memorial Day holiday with a catalogue of his own.)
However wrongheaded America's deteriorating regard for basic civil liberties may be, there are still vast differences between China and the United States that need to be highlighted. Notwithstanding trends of the past decade, the presence of an independent judiciary and the rights of free expression enjoyed in America provide imperfect but powerful checks to executive power—of a sort that barely exist under China's one-party rule. Unfortunately these checks are of no use to the many civilians affected by America's conduct abroad. Drone attacks in particular, it will be noted in some quarters, have visited greater harm on more innocents than anything that ever befell Mr Chen.
We ought to be able to avoid mounting a moral-equivalency defence of China's system, not to mention plumbing the depths of the debate about the state of civil liberties and rule of law in America. Let us note simply that America's standing on the moral high ground is not quite as steady as it used to be, especially when it comes to the sort of issues at play in Mr Chen's case. Yet somehow this particular elephant has not yet barked.
In the New York Review of Books, Ian Johnson compared Mr Chen's dash to the American embassy with the attempt in February by Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun to seek protection in the American consulate in Chengdu. He noted that the two men both seemed to reason "that if one has problems with the Chinese State, the United States can help."
"For Americans who fret about their country's decline, that's a comforting thought," Mr Johnson said before suggesting that while America's influence over China is often overestimated, it still can be exerted.
"Outsiders can insist that until China meets its own laws on due process, torture, and extra-judicial detentions it won't be a fully fledged partner of any Western democracy," he wrote. It is a view that underpins much of the mainstream Western thinking about rights problems in China. For instance, what Human Rights Watch had to say to the EU, just yesterday.
At some point during the Clinton trip, one might have expected to see Chinese officials or commentators seizing on the irony displayed in such statements. Yet American officials say privately that their Chinese counterparts are reluctant to take that tack. And there is surprisingly little that turns up in Chinese-language internet searches matching "Chen Guangcheng" with terms like "Guantánamo" or "double standard".
One person who is probably not surprised by any of this is America's top law-enforcement official, its attorney-general, Eric Holder. During a press conference in Beijing in October 2010, I asked him whether American criticism of China for violations of civil liberties, lack of due process and illegal detentions like Mr Chen's was undermined by the many well-documented examples of recent American embarrassments: Guantánamo, "black site" detentions and warrantless wiretapping, to name a few.
"I'm not sure," Mr Holder answered. I don't think it's changed the dynamic."
So far he looks like being right.

The village is a perfect relaxing getaway from city life as it boasts natural surroundings like the impressive peaks of Arkle and Foinhaven and the beautiful Loch Inchard. Those looking for an active holiday will find this place a paradise as there are miles of coastal, hill and moor walks as well as mountain treks such as into the Glendhu Forest giving a taste of a unique ancient landscape and unparalleled scenery.
The sparsely populated land provides a great environment for spectacular Highland wildlife and birds as they make homes in its heathers, rocks and sandy terrain. Otters and grey herons, although well camouflaged against the rocky shoreline, can often be spotted along the rocky banks of Loch Inchard, and other species such as goosanders, mergansers or eiders nestle in the neighbouring area. In the surrounding mountains there are herds of the incredible and native red deer running freely and seals are a regular sight at the nearby fishing port of Kinlochbervie.

Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol seized more than $1.6 million worth of marijuana in a traffic stop this week.
Isaac Chavez, 37, of Tuscon, Ariz., is in the Preble County Jail after the seizure that occurred at 11:18 a.m. Thursday on Interstate 70.
Troopers said Chavez was in a 2011 Ford F150 truck with false U.S. government registration and he improperly changed lanes. A drug-sniffing dog was used and a probable cause search conducted.
The truck had 36 vacuum-sealed and shrink-wrapped pot bundles, weighing approximately 743 pounds, OSHP officials said in a release.
Chavez is charged with possession of marijuana, a second-degree felony, posession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony, and fictitious registration, a fourth-degree misdemeanor. He faces 9 years in prison and up to a $12,500 fine.
The seizure is the second largest this year by the state's troopers, the release said.

"The BioCel is a great system that enables the integration of multiple types of automated instrumentation, both Agilent and third party. It is however quite expensive so you must be willing to spend the money. We have had one in our lab for a couple years and it is a workhorse but it has taken a great deal of work to get it to that point. Alot of technical support is required. The VWorks software is not the best and has been somewhat buggy in our hands and prone to crashing. The scheduling events is not that straightforward and requires a great deal of time to get it to work efficiently without stalling. That being said, if these obstacles are overcome, we have found it to be very reliable." |

Born in New York City on July 26, 1928, Stanley Kubrick worked as a photographer for Look magazine before exploring filmmaking in the 1950s. He went on to direct a number of acclaimed films, inclduing Spartacus (1960), Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), Clockwork Orange (1971), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Kubrick died in England on March 7, 1999.
"A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper."
"The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes."
"It's a mistake to confuse pity with love."
"I never learned anything at school, and I never read a book for pleasure until I was 19."
"I started out thinking if I couldn't play for the Yankees, I'd be a novelist."
Younger Years
Famed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was born in New York City on July 26, 1928, and grew up in the Bronx, New York, where his father, Jacques Kubrick, worked as a doctor and his mother, Sadie (Perveler) Kubrick, was a housewife. He had a younger sister, Barbara.
Kubrick never adjusted to or did well in school. In elementary school, his attendance record was evenly split between days absent and present. In high school, he was a social outcast and the prototypical underachiever, ranking at the bottom of his class, despite his intelligence. "I never learned anything at school, and I never read a book for pleasure until I was 19," he once said.
Kubrick's early ambitions were to become a writer or play baseball. "I started out thinking if I couldn't play for the Yankees, I'd be a novelist," he later remembered. Seeking creative endeavors rather than to focus on his academic status, Kubrick played the drums in his high school's jazz band; its vocalist later became known as Eydie Gorme. Kubrick also displayed early promise as a photographer for the school paper, and at age 16, began selling his photos to Look magazine. A year later, he was hired for the staff of the magazine. When not traveling for Look, he spent most of his evenings at the Museum of Modern Art.
Toward the end of his high school career, Kubrick applied to several colleges, but was turned down for admission by all of them.
Foray into Filmmaking
Kubrick began to explore the art of filmmaking in the 1950s. His first films were documentary shorts financed by friends and relatives. His first feature, the 1953 military drama Fear and Desire, was made independently of a studio—an uncommon practice for the time. Early into his filmmaking career, Kubrick acted as cinematographer, editor and soundman, in addition to directing. Later, he would also write and produce.
Kubrick made 10 feature films from 1957 to 1998, with early releases including the acclaimed films Spartacus (1960); Lolita (1962), based on the novel by Vladimir Nabokov; and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). Denied official cooperation from the U.S. armed services during the filming of Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick went on to construct sets from photographs and other public sources.
'2001: A Space Odyssey'
Kubrick released his most popular film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, in 1968, after working diligently on the production for a number of years—from co-writing the script with sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke to working on the special effects, to directing.

Your Kneading Feels Different: A Bionic Kitty
Oscar the grouch kitty was sleeping in a field when his back legs got run over by a combine harvester. That story smelling fishy as shit aside, now he has bionic legs.
His new kitten heels were designed with custom-made implants, which "peg" the ankle to the foot and mimic the way deer antler bone grows through skin.
In a three-hour procedure, the veterinary surgical team inserted the pegs by drilling into one of Oscar's ankle bones in each of his back legs. The implants, which are attached to the bone at the amputation site, were coated with hydroxyapatite to encourages bone cells to grow onto the metal.Oscar was trying to stand a day after the surgery and, despite some problems with infection, he was able to bear weight equally on all four limbs within four months.
Fitzpatrick said the patient had made a remarkable recovery. "Oscar can now run and jump about as cats do," he said.
Heartwarming, isn't it? Also kind of gross. But mostly heartwarming. I swear, medicine's sure come a long way, hasn't it? Reminds me of the time my little sister broke her arm. We had to put her down.

Winnwell hockey equipment is the oldest name in Canadian hockey circles. Originally incorporated as Wellinger Limited it underwent a name change becoming Wellinger & Dunn in the mid 50's and eventually became Winnwell Sporting Goods Limited in 1976. Winnwell was sold to Cooper Canada in 1978, largest manufacturer of hockey equipment in the world. Cooper was particularly interested in capitalizing on the 'new' Winnwell hockey helmet design that became famous by it's use by Mark Messier and many other NHL star's in the late 70's early 80's. In 1980 the Winnwell trademark was acquired by Irwin Toy Limited. Brimatin Holdings Inc purchased the Winnwell trademark in 2003.

Smokers May Feel Depressed After Quitting
August 2, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
OTTAWA, Aug. 3 (UPI) — Researchers in Canada, using an advanced brain imaging method, say they may be able to explain why smokers are at high risk for clinical depression.
Senior scientist Dr. Jeffrey Meyer and colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health discovered that MAO-A levels in the brain regions that control mood rose by 25 percent 8 hours after withdrawal from heavy cigarette smoking.
MAO-A "eats up" chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, that help maintain a normal mood. When MAO-A levels are higher, as in early cigarette withdrawal, it means this removal process is overly active, making people feel sad.
For this study, MAO-A was detected using a brain imaging technique called positron emission tomography. These levels were much higher than in a comparison group of non-smoking study participants.
All 48 study participants filled out questionnaires and smokers with high brain MAO-A levels during withdrawal also reported greater feelings of sadness, the researchers say.
"Understanding sadness during cigarette withdrawal is important because this sad mood makes it hard for people to quit, especially in the first few days. Also, heavy cigarette smoking is strongly associated with clinical depression," Meyer says in a statement.
The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, says a specific substance in cigarette smoke — harman — may be responsible for these changes.

Leaked photos of LG Miracle Windows Phone emerge
Photos of a new Windows Phone, dubbed the LG Miracle, have been revealed by Pocketnow, and boy does it look...underwhelming.
Don't get me wrong, I have no qualms with either LG or Microsoft, and I'm always excited to hear about what new phones will be sporting the Windows Phone platform.
But seriously, if it weren't for that fake lens flare up at the top right, my eyes would have just glazed over the whole picture. It looks like every other (save for the Nokia Lumias) Windows Phone we've seen so far.
As far as the … Read more

William "Billy" Currington has racked up seven No. 1 hits over ten successful years including 2013's smash single "Hey Girl" and brand-new album We Are Tonight. Born in 1973 and raised in Rincon, Georgia, Currington moved to Nashville after high school to pursue a career in country music, working for a concrete company to make ends meet and playing clubs and writing songs on the side. He eventually cut tracks for George Strait, Kenny Rogers and Mark Wills, which led to him signing to Mercury Nashville Records in 2003. His self-titled debut album came out later that year, featuring the singles "Walk a Little Straighter" about his relationship with his alcoholic stepfather, and "I Got A Feelin'", which reached the Top 5 on the country charts. His sophomore album Doin' Something Right was released in 2005, spawning the singles "Why, Why, Why" and the number one hits "Must Be Doin' Something Right" and "Good Directions", and selling over one million copies in the U.S. In 2008, Currington put out the track "Don't", which climbed to number two on the charts and preceded the release of his third album Little Bit of Everything, also featuring number one singles "People Are Crazy" and "That's How Country Boys Roll". His fourth studio album Enjoy Yourself came out in 2010 and its singles "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer" and "Let Me Down Easy" also achieved number one status on the country charts. He was toured with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Sugarland, playing concerts to ticket holders all over the country.

... to Jessica Smith for having the courage to speak out about her childhood abuse in the hopes of helping break the cycle for others.
On page A1 of today's News and Tribune, readers will find a profile of Smith, 23, who told reporter Amanda Beam she was abused by a dozen people during her turbulent childhood.
The numbers are staggering; as Beam writes, one in three women are sexually abused during their childhood. But those numbers often times don't speak to people.
Those like Smith who speak out are much more likely to make an impact.
Luckily, at 18 Smith found Soar Ministry, a New Albany-based nonprofit organization that provides counseling and other assistance for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Smith is now in the healing process and by sharing her story, hopefully others will realize it's "OK to not be OK."
People with stories similar to Smith's can get more information about healing from noon to 6 p.m. today at Fairmont Park in New Albany, when Soar will hold its third-annual Soar Fest. Call 812-590-2426 for more information.

... to New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan.
The new Bicentennial Park is a lovely intimate family venue in the heart of downtown where neighbors can gather and enjoy music and conversation. Last Friday's concert was lovely. There were picnic baskets, tables and umbrellas, lawn chairs all around, and children dancing in the grass. It felt like a big family reunion.
This new public space is a great complement to the larger riverfront venue. I look forward to more events in this space.

... to the leadership of the Jeffersonville Elks Lodge 362 for announcing lower rates to encourage new members.
They have improved the restaurant and lounge, started an advertising campaign and welcome people to join for the golf, the pool and the philanthropy/ scholarship activities. I am proud to be a long-time member and am enthusiastic to see the changes by our new leadership. Stop by and check out the Elks Country Club and see the changes that are now well on their way to excellence.
Congrats to all those who have put in the thought, time and effort to improve the organization and the amenities it has to offer.

... to the two New Albany EMS firemen that came to our house on Labor day morning to help with my wife.
I did not get their names, but perhaps they will know who they are when they see my name. They were great. It makes a person feel safe knowing this kind of help is available when really needed. Thanks again fellows. You made my day.

... to the lady in front of me today at the McDonald's drive-thru in Charlestown.
While pulling the normal, "it's a Tuesday after a holiday, but feels like a Monday rush," I figured a little breakfast would get me back on track. After ordering and "having my payment ready" — exact change I may add — I pulled up to pay for my order. The gentlemen advised the person in the car in front of me had paid for my order. As many of us would be with our faith in humanity, I was caught off guard and still attempted to pay, thinking the gentlemen was just making small talk. He again advised, "the car in front of you paid for your order."
I pulled ahead and within a few seconds was back on the road heading to work. On the way in to work, I kept thinking about how I wanted to personally thank her, however I reminded myself that she was not doing this for a thank you, she was just doing her part to pay it forward.
Here's a big thank you for the brief encounter, and to a little thing that can do big things for someone's day.

Mini Christmas Cakes & Win cake decorating goodies with Dr Oetker
If you're a fan of home baking, then you're probably more than aware that Dr Oetker do a pretty fab range of icings, colours, sprinkles and embellishments. Certainly my own baking cupboard is over-flowing with shimmer pearls and polka dots!
Today I have a little giveaway for you as the nice people at Dr Oetker have given me some supplies to share with you. The pack I've got to share with you is pretty much perfect for Christmas and is worth around £32.
The selection will include cake release spray, two bright food gels, gold and silver shimmer spray, soft gold and soft silver pearls, vanilla cupcake easy swirl, white regal-ice ready to roll icing and white, milk and dark fine cooks chocolate.
If you're planning any Christmas baking this would certainly help you on your way!
Before I get on with the giveaway, I want to share a recipe from Dr Oetker and an example of how you could use these products!
Mini Christmas Cakes
(Makes 9)
Oetker Cake Release Spray
500g (1lb
2oz) dried fruit
(2tsp) Dr. Oetker Natural Lemon Extract
(2tbsp) orange flavour liqueur
75g (3oz)
unsalted butter, softened
75g (3oz)
dark brown sugar
(1tbsp) treacle
2 medium
eggs, beaten
(4oz) plain flour
(3/4tsp) Dr. Oetker Baking Powder
10ml (2
tsp) ground cinnamon
(8oz) Dr. Oetker Marzipan
30ml (2
tbsp) Dr. Oetker Apricot Glaze or clear honey
A little
icing sugar for dusting
(8oz) Dr. Oetker White Regal-Ice
Ready to
Roll Icing
To Decorate:
Oetker Gold and Silver Shimmer Sprays
Oetker Soft Silver Pearls
Preheat the oven to 170°C
(150°C fan assisted oven, 325°F, gas mark 3). Lightly spray 9 x 115ml (4fl.oz)
baking moulds or muffin tins with Cake Release Spray. Mix the dried fruit with
the Natural Lemon Extract and orange liqueur, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the
butter, sugar and treacle together until soft and creamy then beat in the eggs.
Sift the flour, Baking Powder and spice on top and add the fruit mixture.
Carefully mix all of the ingredients together and then spoon half the mixture
into the prepared tins to half fill them.
Divide the Marzipan into 9 pieces and form each into discs to cover the
cake mixture in the tins. Spoon over the remaining mixture and smooth the tops.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and firm to the touch. Allow to
cool for 10 minutes, then loosen with a knife and turn on to a wire rack to
cool. Wrap up the cakes well and store for at least 24 hours before decorating.
When ready to serve the cakes, brush the cake tops with Dr. Oetker
Apricot Glaze or a little honey. Lightly dust the work surface with icing sugar
and roll out the Regal-Ice Ready to Roll Icing to a thickness of 5mm (1/4inch)
thick. Cut out discs of icing the same size as the top of your cakes,
re-rolling as necessary, and secure on top of each cake. Reserve the Regal-Ice
Ready to Roll Icing trimmings. Alternatively, leave the tops uniced.
Finishing - To decorate, roll out the trimmings thinly and cut out stars and
snowflakes using small cutters. Spray the stars with Gold or Silver Shimmer
Spray, place onto the top of the cakes and decorate with Soft Silver Pearls as
desired. Decorate the cakes with ribbon to serve.
Tip - These
cakes are ready to eat within a couple of days of days of baking, but will keep,
well wrapped and stored in an airtight container for about a month.
How to win...
If you want to get your hands on this great selection of products from Dr Oetker all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what your favourite Christmas food is. (Mine's easy - mince pies every time! With lashings of cream obviously...) Please also send a quick email to email@example.com so that I am able to contact the winner.
The giveaway closes on Friday 26th October 2012 and the winner will be chosen at random.
After the giveaway as ended your email address will be deleted and not used for any other purposes. The prize will be sent direct from the PR company and contents may change slightly depending on availability.
Good luck!

David Clarkson is more selfish than Kovalchuk. Or simply doesn`t know how to pass.
David Clarkson is more selfish than Kovalchuk. Or simply doesn`t know how to pass.
All Clarkson joking aside he is a monster along the boards with the puck. Look at how far he has come since he joined the big leagues. He doesn't fall half as much and as much as we make fun of him I love his shoot first mentality (look at Henrique's forced pass to Sykora as a bad example of passing too much).
I love Clarkson and love what he brings to this team.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
I really hope that in the locker room, posted on a wall is this years ASG rosters. This team has been unreal since the break with the exception of a few short skids. This recent run of 5 games with only 1 goal or less allowed is insane, if they can keep this up - holy ****.
Malkin will win the Hart easily and if he doesn't its a joke IMO
Kovy might get a nod though
Unless Tampa pulls off a miracle and makes the playoffs, then Stamkos has a good a shot as anyone.
And honestly, if not for the recent nosedive, if you look at the steaming pile of **** of players in front of him, Lundqvist has a solid argument for being included in the list of Hart candidates.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Fitzgerald Toussaint watched Michigan's 41-14 loss to Alabama with members of the wrong team.
Instead of being in Dallas with his teammates, Toussaint was back home, taking in the game along with members of the men's basketball team at assistant hoops coach's Bacari Alexander's house. Toussaint was suspended from the game after a July arrest for drunk driving.
"It meant a lot to me that they invited me over because they showed me that I'm still supported by the people on campus," Toussaint said Tuesday. "The basketball team has always been great to us, and I was glad to have the company.
"It was emotional to watch the game. I was really getting into it."
Although he enjoyed the company, Toussaint doesn't intend to put himself in that position again.
"I left my team down, I let my family down and I wasn't trustworthy," he said. "That's been the hardest part of all of this. I didn't stay accountable to the people that cared about me."
Toussaint rushed for 1,041 yards and nine touchdowns last season, and he and Denard Robinson were expected to to great things as the nation's only backfield with a pair of returning 1,000-yard rushers. With Toussaint back in Ann Arbor, though, Nick Saban's defense was able to focus on keeping Robinson in the pocket.
Robinson finished with just 29 yards rushing, and although he threw for 200 yards, 115 of them came on two plays.
None of Michigan's reserve tailbacks stepped up in Toussaint's absence. Vincent Smith led the rushing game with 33 yards on 13 carries.
"I wanted to be out there because I know I would have filled my role and made some plays," Toussaint said. "Still, I understood entirely why I wasn't there.
"I'm the one who made the mistake, and I had to pay the consequences for what I did."
Toussaint has been reinstated for Saturday's home opener, and Robinson is excited about the possibility.
"It's great for Fitz because he's one of my best friends, and I know how tough this has been," he said. "But it also means we've got a great running back on the field.
"Fitz is one of those guys that can break any play for six points, so he adds a lot to our offense."
Toussaint originally worried about the welcome that he could get from his teammates, but said they couldn't have been more supportive.
"One by one, they've all come to me and told me that they had my back and I was still one of them," he said. "Denard and (Jordan) Kovacs have come to my house and made sure I was ready to go when I could start practicing.
"These are all my brothers, which is why it hurts so much that I let them down."
Offensive coordinator Al Borges hasn't promised Toussaint that he'll immediately get his starting position back, so he plans to earn it back on the field.
"That's fine because I know what I did," he said. "I'm going to work as hard as I can in every practice, do my job and earn my job back.
"That's part of the consequences, and I understand that."
Robinson shrugged off questions about the latest incident in the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry.
In a story that has gotten national attention, several MSU players took shots on Twitter at Robinson's quarterback ability during the loss to Alabama.
"I haven't paid any attention to that," he said. "I heard about it, but I'm worrying about Air Force right now. Something like that is no big deal."
Roy Roundtree, Michigan's top receiver, played against Alabama less than a month after having arthroscopic knee surgery and didn't catch a pass until the final six minutes.
On Tuesday, he insisted that his health had nothing to do with the lack of production.
"My knee wasn't bothering me at all," Roundtree said. "We were having trouble with our timing, and we missed some plays because of that.
"But Denard was making the right reads and making the passes. I just wasn't getting open."
Roundtree acknowledged that some of the problem might have been caused by Alabama's star-laden defense.
"They've got some great players, and they are the defending champions," he said. "The things we learned by watching a defense that good on film will really help us against Air Force and down the road."

OK, this is a short post, but I can't take it anymore. I thought bad announcing reached a new low with Eric Karros on the FOX Game of the Week yesterday, but Steve Phillips' continued character assassination on Carlos Beltran has become too much to bear. Are you upset, Steve, that Beltran has worked out better than every single free agent signing you've ever made? Are you upset that Omar Minaya picked up a great player, who hits for power, gets on base, and plays a great defensive center field? Would you prefer that the Mets start Timo Perez out there? Tsuyoshi Shinjo?
I don't need to defend Beltran's record, because it speaks for itself, but I can't take listening to Steve Phillips complaining about a few small issues with Beltran's game, when he's been so great in 2009, a legitimate NL MVP candidate. Congratulations, Steve, you have been so utterly stupid, you made Joe Morgan into the voice of reason in the ESPN booth, a man so bad at his job, a website called FireJoeMorgan.com was once prominent on the internet. You have made Eric Karros sound like Vin Scully by comparison. Can we please get Gary, Keith, and Ron back as soon as possible? Please?

This recipe required the ingredients that I had in my house. That is the main reason I chose to try it. I took the advice of other reviewers and cut back on the salt. We thought it tasted just fine. I would make it again!
Reviewed Apr. 9, 2010
I found this recipe to be bland, too salty and not worth the time,effort and money to ever make again. YUK
Reviewed Feb. 13, 2008
The lasagna had a good flavor, but way too salty. I cut the salt down to 1 teaspoon, but felt it could be cut down more.

The Mine Ban Treaty calls for a complete ban on the use, stockpiling, production, and transfer of landmines and for their destruction
. By signing the treaty, countries make a promise not to produce any new landmines, and to destroy existing stockpiles of these weapons.
The Mine Ban Treaty is sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Treaty, because it was opened for signature in Ottawa, Canada
. In 1996, a Canadian-sponsored strategy conference, Towards a Global Ban on Anti-Personnel Mines, took place in Ottawa with the active support of 50 governments, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), and the United Nations. At the close of this Conference, the Canadian government invited all governments to come to Ottawa in December 1997 to sign a treaty prohibiting the production, stockpiling, transfer and use of anti-personnel mines. Thus the "Ottawa process" was officially launched.
Mine Ban Treaty Ratifications Updates
Find out which countries have signed and ratified the treaty
In 1997, the Mine Ban Treaty was officially created
. It called for countries to destroy all their stockpiled mines within four years, and to remove all mines from the ground in their country within 10 years, with extensions available for severely affected countries. The treaty also includes mandatory reporting and providing assistance with mine clearance and survivor assistance to mine-affected countries to help deal with their mine problem.
The Mine Ban Treaty has become binding law faster than any other international agreement in history!
In March 1999 the treaty entered into force. To date, 155 countries have signed the treaty and 152 have ratified it.
What is the difference between signing the Mine Ban treaty and ratifying it?
Signing the treaty is a preliminary step which shows that a country supports the terms of the treaty. It is not legally binding but indicates that a country intends to carefully examine the treaty in good faith. While signing a treaty does not obligate a country to ratify it, it does create an obligation not to do anything that would undermine the treaty. When a country ratifies the treaty it agrees to be legally bound by it.
What is involved in ratifying the Mine Ban treaty?
Ratification involves two steps. First, the Parliament, the Senate, the Crown (that is the King or Queen) or the Head of State, make a formal decision to be a Party to the Treaty. Second, the Government (normally the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) deposits a formal letter, under seal, referring to this decision and signed by the appropriate authority in the country. This is called the instrument of ratification. The original letter is submitted to the UN Office of Legal Affairs in New York. The date of receipt is then registered as the official date of ratification for that country.
What procedures for ratifying the Treaty are followed in each country?
The formal procedures for ratifying the Treaty differ enormously from country to country. In some countries the Head of State is given the power to ratify a treaty. In other countries, the agreement of legislative authorities is required. In many cases, a combination of these two systems is used. Before actually ratifying the Treaty, a country usually makes a detailed review of the Treaty's requirements and gives careful consideration to what they must do to comply with the Treaty.
Why did the Treaty "enter into force" in March 1999, when it was created in 1997?
A treaty only enters into force (i.e., becomes legally binding) when it has been ratified by at least 20 countries.

A disclosure would occur if someone could infer data values (e.g. dollar value of sales) for a particular business that has provided information via a census or survey form under a pledge of confidentiality.
The Census Bureau is committed to confidentiality and constantly pursues new procedures, technologies and methodologies to safeguard individual data.
Disclosure avoidance is the process for protecting the confidentiality of data. The Census Bureau uses two methods of preventing disclosure of business data, cell suppression and noise infusion.
Some of the data in economic census tables are withheld to protect the confidentiality of information reported by individual businesses. Data withheld are replaced with 'D's in appropriate data cells.
Cell suppression protects the confidentiality of individual businesses by cell values in tables where the amount of the cell, if it were known, would allow one to estimate a single contributor's value too closely. This occurs when there are very few contributors or when there are one or two large contributors that dominate the aggregate statistic.
The cells that must be protected are called primary suppressions.
To make sure the primary suppressions cannot be closely estimated by subtracting the other cells in the table from the higher-level totals, additional cells may also be suppressed. These additional suppressed cells are called complementary suppressions.
The process of suppression does not usually change the higher-level totals. Values for cells that are not suppressed remain unchanged. Before the Census Bureau releases data, computer programs and analysts check published tables for both primary and complementary disclosures.
Establishment counts are not considered to be disclosures, so this information is published in all tables.
Ranges are sometimes used in place of 'D's to suppress sensitive data, but still provide meaningful information.
Noise infusion is an alternative to cell suppression that allows for the publishing of more data. By marginally adjusting (perturbing) each respondent's data, data for individual businesses can be camouflaged. Most of the resulting aggregated statistics are distorted by a relatively small amount. Some cells may be suppressed for additional protection from disclosure or because the quality of the data does not meet publication standards. Though some of these suppressed cells may be derived by subtraction, the results are not official and may differ substantially from the true estimate.
Protective noise is applied to the following economic tables:
For more technical information on noise infusion, read "Using Noise for Disclosure Limitation of Establishment Tabular Data" [PDF 105KB] by Timothy Evans, Laura Zayatz and John Slanta in the Journal of Official Statistics (1998).
The Census Bureau is bound by Title 13 and Title 26 of the United States Code. Title 13 provides the authority to conduct censuses and surveys, and both Titles 13 and 26 provide strong protections for information collected from individuals and businesses.
Other federal laws, including the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act [PDF 80KB] and the Privacy Act, also reinforce these protections.

What bothers me most about the Yahoo! Local reskinned blog search engine is that sometimes you may actually want an authoritative source of information. There's a reason AAA is still in business, and it's not just for getting your car towed off of the side of the road. One wonders if Yahoo's new product is leaving an entire generation in the dust. 20-something indie rock kids embrace the internet, sure, but do they have the real money that advertisers are looking to attract? Other than restaurants and entertainment venues, will advertisers find value in a product that's built on user preferences? A referral to a business from a friend means something to me. A referral from anonymous people on the internet often doesn't.
I read that article too, and found it fascinating. (As an aside, I strongly recommend a subscription of the Economist to everyone - it's probably the best source of world information out there.)

Stay Informed Knowledge is power! CanWEA delivers news on the latest developments in the Canadian wind energy industry. Learn more.
Did you know? More birds die each year falling prey to cats than colliding with a wind turbine.
WindSight Fall 2013 Conference '13 Highlights
home > media centre
Attention business/energy reporters
Ottawa, ONTARIO-June 7, 2011 – Wind energy developments in Ontario will create more than 80,000 person years of employment and attract more than $16 billion in private sector investments in the next eight years, according to the most comprehensive study ever undertaken on the economic impacts of the wind energy industry in the province. The report, 'The Economic Impacts of the Wind Energy Sector in Ontario 2011 – 2018', by ClearSky Advisors, was commissioned by the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) to quantify the projected jobs and economic benefits associated with the rapidly growing wind energy industry in Ontario.
The report is available here: http://www.canwea.ca/wind-energy/talkingaboutwind_e.php
The ClearSky report quantifies the projected economic benefits associated with a growth in Ontario's installed wind energy capacity from 1,428 MW at the end of 2010 to over 7,100 MW by 2018. This scenario is consistent with the targets set out in the Ontario government's Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP) for energy supply for the period 2011 to 2018. In fact, 2,125 MW of wind energy projects have already been signed and are to be constructed in this period. In addition to investment and employment figures, the report quantifies the projected benefits for landowners and municipal governments throughout Ontario.
"The Green Energy and Economy Act and the Long Term Energy Plan have opened up the market in Ontario for wind energy and will allow faster growth than otherwise would be the case," says Tim Wohlgemut, Co-founder and Principal Consultant at ClearSky. "Ontario has been put on the global map for renewable energy development and this has the potential to create a significant number of highly skilled jobs, and attract billions in investment to the province." Key highlight of the report include:
The report notes that municipalities across Ontario are becoming ever more aware of the increase in tax revenues and local investment they receive as a direct result of wind farms. Domestic content provisions for wind energy development will also boost local investment and employment.
"Ontario's Green Energy Act has made it one of the most attractive markets for renewable energy in North America , and this is creating new 'green jobs' for Ontario's manufacturing sector while at the same time bringing significant benefits to rural residents and communities," said CanWEA President Robert Hornung. "Much more is possible if we maintain a stable policy framework for wind energy development and we look forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure the province remains in a position to attract investment, create new jobs, and build a clean, modern electricity system."
CanWEA is the voice of the wind energy industry, actively promoting the responsible and sustainable growth of wind energy throughout Canada on behalf of its more than 450 members. A national non-profit association, CanWEA serves as Canada's leading source of credible information about wind energy and its social, economic and environmental benefits. The document Wind Vision 2025 – Powering Canada's Future is available at www.canwea.ca
Interviews are available with Robert Hornung; ClearSky representatives; and Municipal Leaders.
