The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
AUSTRIA/EUROPE-Austria to send 160 troops to UNIFIL

"Austria To Send 160 Troops To Unifil" -- NOW Lebanon Headline - NOW
Monday August 29, 2011 14:40:54 GMT
(NOW Lebanon) - Austria will send 160 peacekeeping troops to Lebanon as
part of the United Nations' mission there in October and November,
Austrian Defense Minister Norbert Darabos said Monday.
The troops were due to help with supply logistics for the UNIFIL mission
and would be deployed until the end of 2012, he told a press conference.
The decision must still be formally approved by parliament, but has the
backing of the two ruling parties, the Social Democrats and conservative
People's Party, according to Darabos.
The minister announced last month that Vienna was considering sending
troops following a UN request.
A first commando will be sent in late O ctober and the contingent will be
fully operational by the end of November, he said Monday.
The Austrian troops will be stationed in Naqoura, in southwest Lebanon,
near the Israeli border, he added.
Austria already has a presence in the Middle East with nearly 400 soldiers
participating in a UN mission in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The UNIFIL, founded in 1978, counts some 12,000 troops from 35 countries
and is tasked with overseeing a fragile peace along Lebanon's southern
border with Israel. -AFP/NOW Lebanon

Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces That A Class Action Has Been Filed Against Atossa Genetics, Inc.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of all those (the "Class") who purchased securities of Atossa Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS) ("Atossa" or the "Company") between November 8, 2012 and October 4, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period").
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/MM47134LOGO )
Atossa is a development-stage healthcare company. The Company is focused on the commercialization of cellular and molecular diagnostic risk assessment products and related services for the detection of pre-cancerous conditions that could lead to breast cancer.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Atossa's business and financial condition. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose to Atossa investors that: (1) the Company was required, but failed, to submit an additional 510(k) notification to obtain necessary FDA clearance as it made material changes to the Nipple Aspirate Fluid specimen collection process; (2) the Company improperly marketed its devices by using certain promotional claims to market the ForeCYTE Breast Health Test and the MASCT device; (3) the Company was in violation of FDA Good Manufacturing Practices regulations; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Atossa's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.On February 25, 2013, the Company disclosed that on February 21, 2013, it had received a warning letter from the FDA regarding its MASCT System and MASCT System Collection Test (together, the "System"). Specifically, in the warning letter, the FDA alleged that "the Company changed the System in a manner that requires submission of an additional 510(k) notification to the FDA" and the letter also raised "certain issues with respect to the Company's marketing of the System and the Company's compliance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations, among other matters." On this news, Atossa shares declined $0.3869 per share or nearly 5.6%, to close at $6.54 per share on February 25, 2013. Then, on October 4, 2013, after the market closed, the Company announced "a voluntary recall to remove the ForeCYTE Breast Health Test and the Mammary Aspiration Specimen Cytology Test (MASCT) device from the market" after receiving a warning letter from the FDA. On this news, Atossa shares declined $2.47 per share, or more than 46%, to close at $2.85 per share on October 7, 2013. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all Class members who invested in Atossa securities during the Class Period. If you invested in Atossa securities as described above during the Class Period, and either lost money on the transaction or still hold the security, you may wish to join in this action to serve as lead plaintiff. In order to do so, you must meet certain requirements set forth in the applicable law and file appropriate papers no later than December 9, 2013. A "lead plaintiff" is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

April 22 - The American Bankers Association has announced that its Institute of Certified Bankers now offers computer-based testing for all of its certification exams, formerly referred to as "individual proctored exams." Candidates now have the ability to choose their exam date, time and location at national test centersknown as PSI Testing Centerswithin a defined date range.
The ICB exam is one of several criteria candidates must meet in order to earn an ICB certification. Candidates are required to have substantial levels of experience and education, a letter of recommendation and must commit to the ICB Code of Ethics. Developed by experts in the financial services industry and backed by the deep insight of the ABA, ICBs job-specific certifications are acknowledged industry-wide as the standard of excellence in financial services skills and knowledge.
Computer-based testing gives ICB exam candidates convenient access to proctored exams nationwide while maintaining the integrity of our rigorous testing standards, said Jim Edrington, executive vice president of ABAs Professional Development Group. Instead of being limited to one testing date and time, candidates now have the ability to choose a time that best fits their schedule within a nine-day testing window.
While ICB will continue to administer paper-and-pencil exams at schools and conferences when scheduled, all other exams will be computer-based. ICB has released Frequently Asked Questions about the transition to computer-based testing.
For more information about ICBs certifications and computer-based exams, visit aba.com/icb.

So far, Google has sponsored Jakub Zygmunt and Thomas Ilsche in Summer of Code 2005 to create the simpletest module in the first place. Summer of Code 2006 saw Rok Zlender writing the automation framework. And then came the Highly Open Participation Contest, smartys has written two tests for core, Charlie Gordon written also two and Jimmy Berry has written, huh, seven :) And then Google sponsored Charlie and Jimmy so they were able to come to Paris. And so now we have simpletest in core...
As numerous others are blogging about all that's done, I can concentrate on one thing: unit testing. As the unit testing plan on Drupal.org says
To perform unit testing each function needs to be isolated from all other functions. To do this all "sub calls" to other drupal functions need be located and each drupal function needs to be overridden to return a static value. The current plan is to use runkit.
And because of that we need Drupal specific theme sites like http://www.topnotchthemes.com and not generic template sites like Template Monster selling you an oversimplified template that's so simplified it's unusable.
Edit: oScommerce users have already been burned. Beware!
We all make mistakes; that's how we learn. Sometimes, though, we need someone to point out our mistakes, to sift through the chaos that is Drupal's contributions repository. Inspired by jpoesen's comment on Morbus's code quality entry, Morbus and I have taken up the task of giving some tough love to Drupal's greatest strength: the army of developers using its APIs. Want your own code publicly reviewed?
If you suppose that Drupal growth is linear (it was always faster than that) and then crunch the numbers in webchick's Drupal 6 announcement then you will quickly see that we will need to deal with about 1200 contributors and 20000 patches for Drupal 7. If we want to keep up Drupal quality this needs automated testing. We are past the point where a few fanatics (catch, webernet and webchick, mostly) can click around to find obvious glitches.
This is a repost of deborahSusan Clarkson's mail to the Summer of Code mentors list (reposted with permission, of course):
Having worked as a volunteer and with volunteers for the past 30 years, there is a myriad of reasons that motivate people to get involved. Most are motivated by a combination of factors.
Those motivated by passion, as Karoly mentioned, are willing to go above and beyond. Passion drives them to overcome their shortcomings, and they accomplish more than one might expect.
Reviewers. More precisely, the lack of them. People come to me months after a release and complain that they do not like how feature X is implemented. Others complain that patches in core queue just languish and they move to contrib instead where they can achieve something. This in itself is responsible for the quality of contrib -- they can achieve something because there commits happen without peer reviews. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if you spend a day creating a Drupal site, spend one hour on reviewing patches related to the functionality you just touched be it contrib or core.
We have a slimmed down version of SimpleTest 1.0.1beta2 in my repository ( https://4si.devguard.com/svn/public/simpletest readable by anonymous, get commit rights by contacting me ). The browser now supports uploads. Now every tests starts from a fresh default.profile Drupal install. There were serious cleanups. I expect simpletest to be submitted for core inclusion this weekend. Remaining tasks are more cleanup and more slimming down and updating the slimmed down code to RC1.
Today I read a post on Drupal Planet urging you to "place a friendly popup request for IE6 users to upgrade their browsers". Consider that Microsoft already pushed this upgrade, hard, and if someone is on IE6 still it very well can be that it's not her own decision but her IT people. There are bank applications that are broken with IE7. So, while it is true that we have every reason to hate IE6 pushing your visitors around might not be the best idea.

And I absolutely agree, institutions of higher learning are not mere factories of people who will occupy seats in cubicles; I think our ultimate goal is to form individuals who will eventually make positive contributions to society in their own unique way. We do not prepare them to merely do what they HAVE to do in order to live; I like to think that we help them make that first step towards leading a life well-lived, by figuring out what it is that they're passionate enough about to spend the rest of their lives doing. They do it not because they HAVE to, but because they WANT to, and they "become their own persons" as opposed to fitting themselves into a mere list of qualifications that would get passed around to the next highest bidder. And if they get something in return for doing something that they love to begin with, well, that's just icing and not the cake itself. ;)I love EEhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411475.post-33026839287993152382014-06-28T14:04:02.543+08:002014-06-28T14:04:02.543+08:00Funny to find this post today - which makes it nin...Funny to find this post today - which makes it nine years old exactly.

I am a hopeful science fiction writer with three self published books that I am trying to promote with a blog:
 http://marsimmigrantfuturestories.theblogpress.com

I was looking at your website that questions the concept of Filipino science fiction. When I visited bookstores in the Philippines I looked for a range of Filipino English penned fiction --- science fiction, murder mysteries, crime stories, adventure, war stories, and historical elaboration. The bookstores had American fiction by famous authors, but nothing from the Filipino point of view. I am a white American, with German and British ancestry. I do not speak Filipino, but I've been married to my wife for 41 years, and over that time span, I've been deeply involved with the Filipino-American. Friday night I was with my wife at the J.W. Marriott for the annual Washington D.C. Filipino Independence Ball, while last Monday I was one of the artists being honored at the Philippine Embassy. I spend a lot of time with Filipinos

The adventures in three books I authored begin 'Marsquakes" with a farmer's daughter going to war. I don't mention anything Filipino. However, in "Cryogen, Mar," I create a Filipino Private Detective to solve a murder mystery in Manila. For the third book, the detective's brother-in-law and nephew are hired to assist in finding a gold mine that is claim jumped. I feel my stories ad to the Filipino Science Fiction offering, because it blends in Filipino protagonists and the Philippines. I figure if Jules Verne (French) and H.G.Wells (English) can write American classic science fiction, I can write Filipino stories that will be accepted as such

It's not only very, very personal, but very much about money, money.

Hampton just spinned a ridiculous woe story trying to blame Eich for all the problems in his life. It's clueless, it's vindictive, and it's nasty.

Candy crush combinations
Know the candies and the combinations:
It really surprises me when I see that some candy crush players on high levels, don`t even know about the difference between vertical and horizontal striped candies. The game is all about candies so any player should know the different candy types alongside the different candy combinations that can be made. It will make your gameplay a lot more easier. (examples: striped + striped, striped+wrapped)
Know the Boosters:
Boosters are made by candy crush to make our lives easier. Each booster serves a different purpose and not all boosters can be used in all levels. The players will get few free boosters early in the game and also from the prize wheel. Candy crush also has a shop where players can buy boosters for real cash. Knowing the game boosters and what they do is very important so that players don`t waste them. I would recommend not to use the boosters unless you are sure you will not pass the level without them.

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
|"Heaven Knows"
|Single by Donna Summer
|from the album Live and More
|Only One Man (Live)
|December 9, 1978
|7" single
|Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte

|Donna Summer singles chronology
"Heaven Knows" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer, with guest vocals from Brooklyn Dreams released at the height of her fame during the 1970s disco era. It is adapted from a studio recording from the Live and More album and became a number 4 hit for Summer in the U.S.[1] in early 1979. The song features singing by the group Brooklyn Dreams with lead vocals by Joe "Bean" Esposito.
On the single version released by Summer (credited as Donna Summer with Brooklyn Dreams), singer Joe "Bean" Esposito sings second lead to Summer, while Summer and the group provide backing vocals. However, on the version that appears on Brooklyn Dreams's 1979 album, Sleepless Nights, it is Esposito who sings the lead vocal with Summer singing second lead, with Summer and the group provide backing vocals. On the group's album, this version is credited as Brooklyn Dreams with Donna Summer.
A 12" single version, at 6:45, was released, the first verse sung by Summer solo, the remainder with Summer and Esposito.
Cover versions and appearances in other media[edit]
- In 1980 the song was performed by Pink Lady on their variety show Pink Lady and Jeff.
- Nell Carter and guest star Ray Parker, Jr. sang a duet of the song in a 1984 episode of Gimme a Break.
- In November 2000, Ann Curless from the girl group Exposé released a version on Waako Records.
- In 2003, the song was covered by Faith Evans in the film, "The Fighting Temptations".
- In 2013, following Summer's death, Nadia Ali released a downtempo acoustic cover as a tribute.

what is the shape on this board. it says directional twin but it says the stance is centered. does anyone have some info on this?
Tim Bohlken
Member since
Found this from REI is seems to give a pretty good idea.
Directional twin: They feature similar size tips and tails, but the tip is more flexible than the tail. Combined with a symmetrical shape, they are suited for all-mountain and freestyle/park riders.

When I part the lips of my pussy n tease my clit till I'm wet enough to slide a couple fingers in n out of my tight lil cunt gradually getting faster n harder till I cum

when a girl or guy sticks his or her finger(s) up a girl. Or when a girl uses her fingers to "rub" her genitals for sexual pleasure.
God, i feel so horny, i need some sex, but i'm single, no one to fuck. hmm I'll just FINGER myself... uhh uhh uhhh...
by Jennifer April 18, 2004
1)part of foreplay that definitely requires an art other than 'sticking your fingers in a pussy' as delineated in previous definitions. many males still don't understand this, but true fingering will also constitute stimulation of the clitoris using fingers. if you are truly talented, you can do both at the same time. we appreciate that ;)
2) it can also refer to the insertion of fingers into the anus, or indeed any cavity, for sexual pleasure and stimulation.

When a man sticks one or more fingers up a woman's vagina and moves it up and down(best used with lubrication) for sexual pleasure.
Last night was the best time i had in my life, Josh was fingering me furiously. We both lied on the bed and he started fingering me by squirting KY(lubricant) all over his hands and my pussy, then he stuffed his fingers in and moved it up and down furiously and he got my cum all over his fingers.
by NickRock May 17, 2005
when a guy or girl puts one or two fingers in a vagina depending on how big the whole is, and attempts to give her an orgasm. usually, so the act of giving pleasure is reciprocated.
Sean fingered me in the movie theatre last night and I came all over the seat.
by JoRocks April 04, 2005
When one inserts one or more fingers into a woman's vagina making a "come here" motion on the top of her vagina.
Also makes it more plesurable while rubbing or licking the woman's clitoris.

fingering feels so good!
by ashley August 23, 2003
When guys (or girls..preferably thought as guys doing this) insert one or more fingers into a girl's vagina and moves it in a motion as the penis is moved. This motion is a wonderful feeling. Take my word for it.

The Saudi benchmark stock index fell, posting the biggest fluctuation among Arab equity markets today, as investors judged recent gains excessive. National Shipping of Saudi Arabia paced declines.
Qatar's key stock index slid as investors sold stocks to buy shares in initial public offerings in the Persian Gulf. Ten of 13 Arab equity markets tracked by Bloomberg News fell today, including those in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Oman. Markets in Jordan, Tunisia and Lebanon rose.
The Tadawul All Share Index fell for a second day, losing 4.7 percent to 18,740.2 in Riyadh, according to the exchange's Web site. It reached a record high on Feb. 25.
``This is a long overdue correction as prices have climbed to highs,'' said Haissam Arabi, head of asset management at Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based Shuaa Capital, which manages about $2.2 billion in Arab equities.
The Capital Market Authority on Feb. 25 lowered the amount that shares are allowed to fluctuate each day to five percent from 10 percent. The index has increased by about 13 percent since the beginning of the year.
Arabi said investors had shrugged of an al-Qaeda attempt on Feb. 24 to blow up the Abqaiq oil center in the kingdom, which handles two-thirds of the supply from the world's biggest oil exporter. The Saudi stock market is resilient to such attacks or threats of future attacks, said Arabi.
National Shipping Company, which operates oil tankers, fell 4.9 percent to 478 Saudi riyals in Riyadh. Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC), the world's biggest chemical producer by market value, lost 4.9 percent to 1,650 Saudi riyals.
Qatar's benchmark Doha Securities Market Index shed 3 percent to a nine-month low of 8822.9, according to the bourse's Web site. The measure has lost 16.2 percent so far this month.
``Investors are diluting their holdings to buy new shares in regional initial public offerings,'' Amjad Resheq, general manager of Qatar-based International Financial Securities, said in a telephone interview.
Tamweel, a United Arab Emirates real estate finance company, started a $150 million IPO today that is open to all Persian Gulf investors and expatriates. The company is selling 550 million shares at 1.2 U.A.E. dirhams apiece.
Ithmar Bank of Bahrain plans to raise $337.5 million in an IPO open to all investors. The investment bank is selling 150 million shares at $2.25 apiece. It will later list its shares in the Bahrain and Kuwait stock markets.
Qatar Islamic Bank, the country's largest lender that complies with Muslim law, fell 4.6 percent to 268.2 Qatari riyals.
Qatar Telecom, the fixed-line and mobile phone monopoly in the country, dropped 4.2 percent to 201.2 Qatari riyals.
Abu Dhabi, Dubai
The Abu Dhabi General Index fell 2.7 percent to 4579.5, according to the stock exchange's Web site. Of the 39 stocks that traded, 28 slid, ten rose and one was unchanged. The benchmark has dropped 13.8 percent so far this year.
``It's the classical case of sell-off to raise money for IPOs,'' said Mohammed Yassin, general manager of Emirates Securities, in a telephone interview.
Besides the Tamweel and Ithmar IPO's, the second telephone operator in the United Arab Emirates plans to raise $660 million in an offering that starts March 4.
Emirates Integrated Telecommunication Co. will sell 800 million shares, or 20 percent of the company's capital, at 3.03 dirhams each to U.A.E. investors only.
Finance House (FH), a lender based in Abu Dhabi, led decliners, losing 7.4 percent to 14.4 dirhams.
Emirates Telecommunications Corp. (ETISALAT), the largest telephone operator in the United Arab Emirates, fell 6.2 percent to 28 dirhams.
The Dubai Financial Market index fell 2.2 percent to 828.8. The measure is down 18.7 percent so far this year.

School district mergers debated in House, SenateBy JOSH OGORMAN
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | April 30,2014MONTPELIER A school district consolidation bill underwent rigorous debate Tuesday, as the Senate took up a last-minute alternative proposal from the Agency of Education.
House Bill 883 would eliminate supervisory unions and consolidate the states 273 school districts into 45-55 education districts that offer pre-K through grade 12 education and provide access to the states 17 career technical centers.
Weve seen a precipitous drop in Vermonts K-through-12 student population over the years, said Rep. Jeff Wilson, D-Manchester, who serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, one of three House committees to draft legislation for the bill.
Its time to put into motion the realignment process put forth in House Bill 883, so that we can move forward with matching these lower student numbers with a more efficient, effective governance system, he said.
While many people have spoken of how the bill could be the answer to rising education costs in the face of declining enrollments Gov. Peter Shumlin said as much last week the expressed intent of the bill is to rectify the unequal education opportunities at different schools.
Today, we are challenged to meet the needs of 21st-century students within the confines of a 20th-century delivery system and a governance system from the 19th century, said Rep. Johannah Leddy Donovan, D-Burlington, chairwoman of the House Education committee, which worked on the bill for three months.
Rep. William Stevens, I-Shoreham, questioned many aspects of the bill, from the number of regional meetings that would be held by the design team which would create a statewide realignment plan for districts that dont consolidate voluntarily by 2017 to what evidence exists that not every child in the state has equal education opportunities.
I am not convinced that this bill does too much to address the concerns that folks in my district are expressing, Stevens said. Thats not to say that equitable access and opportunity and addressing community stress and the achievement gap arent important, but what I hear in my district are funding, affordability and value.
Rep. Michael Hebert, R-Vernon, took issue with the fact that the House Education Committee, which held many community meetings, did not hold such a meeting in the southeast corner of the state.
Im concerned that we might pass legislation without having traveled to the hinterlands of the state to gather input from everyone, Hebert said.
The House debated their governance bill late into the night, but earlier in the day the Senate Education Committee took up some last-minute consolidation legislation proposed by the Agency of Education, which in many ways differs significantly from the House bill.
Under the language from the Agency of Education, there would be no design team and no involuntary consolidation. Districts would be encouraged to consolidate and, up until July 2017, would receive double the financial incentives promised under Act 153 of 2010, which creates regional school districts, or REDs.
This means a RED composed of at least 1,000 students or at least four districts would receive as much as $300,000, if it receives unanimous approval from every district that is coming together.
In an apparent effort to encourage districts to get started on consolidation, REDs that come together after July 2017 but before July 2019 would receive half the incentive money promised under Act 153 of 2010.
Sen. Dick McCormack, D-Windsor, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, took issue with the need for financial incentives.
Why do we need incentives if its such a good idea? he said. Why dont they consolidate if it will save money and increase opportunities for students?
And while there is no statewide involuntary consolidation plan as there is in the House bill, the proposed legislation from the Agency of Education would impose financial penalties on districts that have not made serious effort toward consolidation.
Sen. Philip Baruth, D-Chittenden, suggested striking language that would impose the financial penalties, while Sen. William Doyle, R-Washington, suggested that, at the very least, they would need to define the use of the word serious.
The new language also gives authority to Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe to create supervisory union service districts composed of multiple supervisory unions that would come together in an effort to save money on transportation expenses, professional development and the purchase of goods and services.
Also, the language would require a supervisory union board that wishes to fire a superintendent to first receive approval from Holcombe.
With the Legislature looking at adjourning in less than two weeks, McCormack said he would vote against the proposal.
I will not be voting for this bill, just as a matter of due diligence, he said.
Nor will I, Doyle said.
We have a two-month bill, and we are being asked to do a two-month bill in two days, McCormack said.

9 Surprising Ways Your Refrigerator Can Help You Lose Weight
Fend off fat by organizing your fridge the right way
By Sarah Burns
Inside Door: Fill It with Flavorings
Arrange an arsenal of diet-friendly hot sauces, spicy mustards, salsas, marinades and tangy dressings here, suggests Dr. Wansink. Flavoring meals with low- or no-cal condiments can make folks feel full on 200 fewer calories daily—and can help them shed up to 18 pounds per year, according to research from Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. The reason: "Flavorful foods make a stronger physical impression, which leads to feeling more satisfied," explains Dr. Wansink.

Tim Hortons Announces Electric Vehicle Charging Station Pilot In Canada
Partners with Oakville Hydro, Town of Oakville
OAKVILLE, ON, Feb. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Electric vehicle owners in Oakville, ON are now able to charge their cars while enjoying a Tim Hortons coffee. Canada's largest restaurant chain installed its first electric vehicle charging stations as part of a new pilot project.
Charging stations are now available for guest use, free of charge, at Tim Hortons located at 228 Wyecroft Road in Oakville and for use by corporate employees at head office, in an effort to study the technology, its usage and opportunities.
"The electric vehicle infrastructure is in its infancy and we see a potential opportunity for Tim Hortons to help make a true difference by expanding that infrastructure in Canada," said Paulo Ferreira, Senior Director, International Design and Building Standards, Tim Hortons. "At this stage, the goal for us is to explore and understand the technology, to see how it can work at our restaurants and how we can, in turn, support our guests who choose to go electric."Tim Hortons partnered with Oakville Hydro and Town of Oakville to launch the pilot project. "There is no better place than Oakville for Tim Hortons to launch its electric vehicle charging station pilot project," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "Tim Hortons continues to help us make Oakville cleaner and greener, towards realizing our vision of creating Canada's most livable town." "Electric vehicles can potentially have an impact on distribution systems across Ontario," said Rob Lister, President and CEO of Oakville Hydro Corporation. "As part of our Smart Grid initiatives, this pilot project will allow us to gain insight into how our distribution system responds and reacts to the addition of electric vehicles. We are very proud to be part of this project with other Oakville businesses." Tim Hortons continues discussions with additional municipalities in an attempt to expand the pilot before deciding on the future possibility of EV charging stations across the company's more than 3,300 restaurants across Canada. The company will also make provisions to run electrical wires to future charging stations through conduits in parking lots at all newly-built Canadian restaurants going forward, to simplify the installation process.

NCIS: Los Angeles Review: Modern Day Ninjasby Carla Day at . Comments
Poor Connor Maslin! He is dishonorably discharged from the Marines because he fell in love with the wrong Japanese woman. Then, he reunites with her, only to be framed for killing a Japanese tourist when he gets home. I hope the girl was worth it, because if the NCIS team hadn't disobeyed orders, he would have not only lost his job and his girl; he would have been in jail.
"Honor" was a case of the good guys winning. The NCIS unit in Los Angeles has a unique doctrine in that they disregard their orders when they feel it is necessary; at the same time, they respect the military code. They did this when they went to Romania and again to clear Maslin's name. You don't leave a Marine behind...
In the end, Hetty authorized them to go get the girl as long as they were "modern day ninjas." How awesome is Hetty? The squad was incomplete while she was gone. It needs her guidance and kick-ass leadership. It doesn't get better than "no one can know it was us."
Actually, I guess it can and did with Eric and Nell getting out in the field with a "hall pass from Hetty." For being the tech geeks of the team, they did a great job playing TSA agents screening Tanaka's group. The frustration on Tanaka's face when he had to go through the scanner again and again was priceless. Where were your State Department contacts to get you out of this one, Tanaka? Even though it was a little thing, I loved seeing him treated as a common man.
The team was pretty slick in its maneuvers. They did as Hetty asked, in and out without anyone knowing what happened or who did it. All Tanaka knew was his daughter somehow escaped his control and got off the plane. The crew may have gone against the State Department, but it did the right thing.
Not only did the guy get the girl - he got chance to clear his record and get an honorable discharge. A great day for the ninja NCIS team!
Odds and ends:
- Each week the team's banter is one of my favorite parts of the show. This week, members went after Deeks' drawl. He definitely has one, but it is adorable.
- The continual competition between Kensi and Deeks is hilarious and the hotel job was no exception. Deeks won when his room service delivery was accepted while Kensi, the maid, was rebuffed. But, Deeks should have been much more suspicious looking. What upscale hotel allows their employees to have a stubbly mess like Deeks?
- Now that we have learned about Callen's background, is it time to learn more about Sam? It look like it with the reveal that he has a family. Is he married? I'd love to learn more about him. Though, I hope his family doesn't get put in harms way. That would be too cliched for me.
- After the mess in Romania, it seems the team is back to normal. While I enjoyed that arc, I'm glad it is over and the team is back together and closer than ever.

walter was one of hetty's guilts, an agent who suffered a stroke and hetty organised a nursing home placement under the name of brandon cole, supposedly hetty's husband.
I want Kensi to have a serious love interest just for the fact that I would love to see a jealous Deeks.
@Evan..that's not really what sam says...and i highly doubt that's his true philosophy.
ehh..i thought we knew the first letter in Callen's fist name...and as i remember it was a "G"...who the heck is Walter?! 0_0
To Evan, I don't see how that is annoying about Sam, he has a code that he lives by, he's a soldier, he's not gonna leave an innocent person to die, it's who he is and it's what any true soldier would do in his position. Would you rather that he just doesn't care? His loyalty to the military and soldiers is a part of what makes him who he is, it's a part of his quirk, just like for Callen it's his impulsiveness, for Hetty it's her mystery ninja ways, for Kensi it's her feisty tomboyish independence, and Deeks for his humor and style. Sam is a soldier, he is dependable, he is a man's man who is a protector. There is nothing wrong with that.
I think G's grandfather is George and Hetty claims not to know G's father. I don't know who Walter is either.
I thought Walter was mentioned as one of Callen's relatives (grandfather?) during the Romania ordeal. I could be wrong... just trying to recall offhand.
Could Walter be Callen's real name? That's my only guess at this point.
yes, who is Walter??
@me Connor was played by Drew Fuller (Charmed, Army Wives).

Hi Kris, one possible improvement: instead of having maintain the list of tests that are automatic and not, why don't you check for id="log" instead? ie, if there is an element with id="log" in the test then, it's automatic, otherwise, it's not.

text: Alonso cycles in Dubai as F1 rivals pound around Jerez 7 February, 2013 Fernando Alonso cycling on the outskirts of Dubai Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso is undergoing intensive training in Dubai while his rivals take to the track at the Formula 1 preseason testing at Jerez circuit. Fernando Alonso takes a break On his Twitter account Alonso has released pictures of himself working out in a gym and also a short video clip showing him cycling at a well known and popular cycle path on the outskirts of Dubai. On Tuesday, the same day that testing got underway at Jerez, Alonso tweeted: "Another good workout this morning in bike at high intensity. Rest and gym this afternoon." The decision by Alonso to skip the first test has taken many by surprise, but it is clear that the Spaniard spending his days doing hardcore training ahead of the new season. The two times world champion explained his decision, "The first test is a general test in which one checks that all the components are put together properly. Given the short amount of time available, we have decided that I will concentrate on the testing in Barcelona [as it is] more useful for measuring performance as well as being a circuit we race on." "In the meantime, I will continue with my preparation and will follow the Jerez test, keeping in touch with Felipe and Pedro and analysing the data acquired by the engineers," added Alonso. Meanwhile, Jerez's media boss Raul Zarzuela lamented the absence of Spain's F1 hero, "The absence of Alonso has hurt the interest here (in Spain)." Niki Lauda told RTL that he "cannot understand" the Spaniard's decision to sit out Jerez. o Tweet Related NewsVettel first Ferrari test not breach of contractRed Bull play hardball block Vettel's Ferrari testDe la Rosa: Ferrari not giving up on this yearBianchi: When Ferrari need me I am readyFerrari: We completed our programme and lapped quicklyDe la Rosa says F1 drivers doing too little drivingFerrari: We learned a lotFerrari: We made up for time lost on day oneFerrari report from Barcelona testTech Talk: What did Ferrari have in their bag of tricks at the final test in Bahrain? Bec Odd, I'm sure he said he wanted more testing Nowhereman His focus is this… To run each lap like a qualifying lap this year. He wants to be the best physical specimen driving this year. That means trouble for the rest… Forza Ferrari It is actually a little bit weird indeed that he didn't go to Jerez. If it would've been Schumacher in Alonso's place then I'm sure that Michael would've been the first one to go to Jerez. In fact I think that Michael would've gone to Jerez earlier to inspect the track and to get ready for testing and paying attention to the smallest of detail. That's one of the main reasons why Schumi was so successful and I think that if Alonso truly wants to win the title again he should definitely try to emulate Michael in that sense. Although I think that sitting out this test shouldn't affect Alonso too much, it's still a little bit of an odd decision. Every second spent in the car is very valuable. fools Niki Lauda told RTL that he "cannot understand" the Spaniard's decision to sit out Jerez. —————————————————————————— Hey Lauda, just because you dont workout anymore and nutrition and workouts in YOUR day didnt mean much due to the lack of education regarding strength training and nutrition isnt a reason to voice your opinion to play PR mind games again. Alonso is training! He explained why Lauda… Worry about your brake system at MERC and LH and let Alonso do his thing. You have enough to handle on your plate old man. jl something fishy. why did he upload photo for nothing? may be an alibi, because actually he is in swimming with his new girlfriend somewhere in a tropical island. tath He's letting Massa sort all the niggles on the irrelevant track while he relaxes and prepares mentally and physically, then he's going to step into a full test in a proven and set-up car at an F1 track while Felipe twiddles his thumbs having done the donkey work. Good to see the equal treatment gave up early this year! assad this is his spiritual retreat , people dont understand this…… it will aide him psychologically and mentally comforters I'm not sure why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Ben Gibbard and Kevin Barnes Cover the Same Neil Young Song for Charity
By Tom Breihan on January 21, 2010 at 2:10 p.m. EST
TwentyFourBit points out an interesting bit of cultural synchronicity: the frontmen of two enormously popular indie rock bands, completely independently of one another, have released recent charity covers of the Neil Young 1992 acoustic nugget "Harvest Moon".
Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard has covered the song for the GIVE Seattle compilation, which raises money for the Seattle arts education nonprofit Arts Corps and local food banks. And of Montreal's Kevin Barnes has contributed his take on the song to Paste magazine's downloadable Songs for Haiti, a bundle of more than 200 songs available for download in support of Haitian relief efforts. Proceeds go to the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and Wyclef Jean's Yele. You can stream Barnes' piano-heavy version of the song here.
Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar Add Dates
By Tom Breihan on December 1, 2009 at 4:15 p.m. EST
One Fast Move or I'm Gone, the Kerouac tribute album from Jay Farrar & Benjamin Gibbard, dropped a couple of weeks ago, and the Death Cab for Cutie and Son Volt frontmen have played a few shows together. Next month, they'll play a few more. Yesterday, Death Cab's website revealed Gibbard/Farrar tour dates in the back half of January. Check below for those dates.
Earlier this week, we posted video of the duo covering Tom Waits' "Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)" at Washington, DC's 9:30 Club. Check it out here.
While We Were Out: Jesus Lizard, David Byrne, Lupe Fiasco, Gibbard/Farrar
By Amy Phillips on November 30, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Photo of David Yow of the Jesus Lizard by Zach Vowell
Last week, while some of us in the U.S.A. were busy celebrating the genocidal slaughter of Native Americans at the hands of the white man, the rest of the music world kept on turning. Here's a brief roundup of a few music news items that happened over the break:
-- Being one of the wildest frontmen in rock history has its downsides. During the Jesus Lizard's show at Metro in Chicago on Friday night, David Yow fell while crowdsurfing and bruised some ribs. He was taken from the club to a hospital in an ambulance. However, Yow's injuries proved not to be all that serious, and the Jesus Lizard's Saturday night show at Metro went on as planned.
-- David Byrne entered some sort of contest involving turkey-shaped Jell-O molds, run by artist (and Byrne collaborator) Danielle Spencer. Alas, Byrne's entry, "Baby's First Turkey", did not win, instead losing out to David Hunter's "Turkeyburger." (Via the Daily Swarm.)
-- Lupe Fiasco released a free, downloadable mixtape titled Enemy of the State: A Love Story, on which he rhymes over songs by Radiohead ("The National Anthem"), Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Clipse, and others. Check it out over at 2DopeBoyz.
-- TwentyFourBit posted a live video from Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar's recent tour in support of their Jack Kerouac tribute album One Fast Move or I'm Gone. In the video, shot in late October at the 9:30 club in Washington, DC, Gibbard and Farrar cover Tom Waits' "Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)", from his 1973 album Closing Time. Check out the video after the jump:
Death Cab Join New Moon Mall Tour
By Tom Breihan on October 30, 2009 at 12:25 p.m. EDT
Hey kids! You like vampires, right? And mall stores that sell appropriated countercultural fashion items? And Death Cab for Cutie? Well, get ready! It's the Twilight Saga: New Moon Talent Tour, headed to Hot Topic this fall!
Unfortunately for those of us who live nowhere near Los Angeles, Death Cab for Cutie is only appearing on one date of the Talent Tour, a promotional event that'll bring bands from the New Moon soundtrack and cast members from the movie to malls across the country. Still, if you're anywhere near Hollywood on November 6, it might be worth it to stop by the Hollywood & Highland Hot Topic, just for the opportunity to see Death Cab for Cutie performing in the vicinity of black-light posters and Twiztid hoodies. (Sea Wolf, Band of Skulls, and Anya Marina will also perform that day.)
Watch Ben Gibbard's Big Screen Debut
By Tom Breihan on October 19, 2009 at 2:50 p.m. EDT
Way, way back in January 2007, we reported that Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard would have an acting role in Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, the David Foster Wallace adaptation from director John Krasinski, aka the guy who plays Jim on "The Office". (Side note: congratulations, Jim!)
After spending what felt like an eternity in festival hell, Brief Interviews is finally out there in theaters. Stereogum has a clip of Gibbard's appearance in the film, in which we get to hear his character talk at great length about his feelings of alienation, sexual and otherwise. Always a party!Â
Check out the clip below.

Cue the awws. Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and actress/She & Him singer Zooey Deschanel, otherwise known as the cutest couple in all of indiedom, were married near Seattle on Saturday, as People reports. (via MTV News). As far as we can tell right now, no paparazzi managed to parachute in, so we don't know whether anyone's drunk uncle bruised a hip while attempting to breakdance.
We reported on the pair's engagement back in December. Now someone please write an indie romantic comedy loosely based on these two crazy kids!
Hear a New Death Cab for Cutie Song
By Tom Breihan on September 14, 2009 at 4:05 p.m. EDT
Last month, we reported that MTV would debut "Meet Me on the Equinox", a new Death Cab for Cutie song from the New Moon soundtrack, during their Video Music Awards. And if it seems a bit odd for Ben Gibbard & Co. to soundtrack a Twilight sequel, keep in mind that it's probably way less weird than anything else that happened during the VMAs.
Well, MTV kept their word. Those of us watching the big show only heard a quick fragment of "Equinox", but MTV has the whole thing streaming from their website. Click below to hear it. And as we previously reported, the New Moon soundtrack may also include new music from Thom Yorke and Bon Iver.
Meanwhile, we've got some other new Death Cab-related news. Earlier, we told you that Death Cab frontman Ben Gibbard had teamed with Son Volt's Jay Farrar to record One Fast Move or I'm Gone, an album inspired by Jack Kerouac's 1962 novel Big Sur. That album is coming from F-Stop/Atlantic on October 20, and now we can report that Gibbard and Farrar will play a few shows together next month. Those dates are below.
Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar Team Up to Record Jack Kerouac Album
By Tom Breihan on August 13, 2009 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
The last time Ben Gibbard split off from the rest of Death Cab for Cutie to record an album's worth of songs, that album was the Postal Service's Give Up, and half a million sensitive indie types swooned. (Of note: That Postal Service album still absolutely rules, eff a backlash.)
Now he's done it again, this time with Jay Farrar, Son Volt frontman, former Uncle Tupelo member, and all-around alt-country standard-bearer.
Farrar and Gibbard originally got together in 2007 to record music for the forthcoming Jack Kerouac documentary One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur. (Both Gibbard and Farrar appear in the film, as do Tom Waits, Patti Smith, and many of Kerouac's contemporaries.) That collaboration blossomed into an entire full-length album, which has the same title as the movie. Gibbard and Farrar wrote and performed all the songs together, with lyrics taken from Kerouac's 1962 novel Big Sur. You can watch the music video for the Farrar-sung track "San Francisco" here, and the tracklist is below. The trailer for the film can be seen here.
Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard Engaged!

Cue the sound of thousands of blogger hearts breaking. USmagazine.com (via Rawkblog) reports that Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and actress/She & Him singer Zooey Deschanel are engaged. Isn't that just the most indie-in-2008 thing ever? It almost seems a little too perfect, as if we made it up in some kind of fantasy indie rock love connection.
Emails to Death Cab's publicist and She & Him's publicist haven't been answered yet, but various other sources, including MTV.com and People.com, claim to have confirmed the engagement. Sorry, lonely dudes.
Ben Gibbard Goes Hollywood
By Amy Phillips on January 15, 2007 at 7:00 a.m. EST
Insert "A Movie Script Ending" joke here: Death Cab for Cutie singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard is making the leap from indie rock heartthrob to indie film heartthrob. He has a role in the big-screen adaptation of David Foster Wallace's short story collection Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, directed by John Krasinski, aka Jim from the American version of "The Office".
Eagle-eyed reader Trey Burke alerted Pitchfork to the movie's IMDB page, which lists Gibbard as playing a character named Harry. Other cast members include a guy who was in Snakes on a Plane (Bobby Cannavale), a guy from "Saturday Night Live" (Will Forte), a girl from "That '70s Show" (Mila Kunis), Krasinski's "Office" coworker Rashida Jones, and Krasinski himself.
Unfortunately, Gibbard's next film role will not be in a remake of the Cash Money Millionaires classic Baller Blockin', in which he would be so, so great as Lil Wayne's character, Iceberg Shorty.
