Changes to the Fisheries Act
On June 29 2012, amendments to the Fisheries Act received Royal Assent. The changes will focus the Act on protecting the productivity of recreational, commercial and Aboriginal fisheries.
The Government is now focusing protection rules on real and significant threats to the fisheries and the habitat that supports them, while setting clear standards and guidelines for routine projects.
The new Fisheries Act will:
- Focus the Act's regulatory regime on managing threats to the sustainability and ongoing productivity of Canada's commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries;
- Provide enhanced compliance and protection tools;
- Provide clarity, certainty and consistency of regulatory requirements through the use of standards and regulations; and
- Enable enhanced partnerships to ensure agencies and organizations that are best placed to provide fisheries protection services to Canadians are enabled to do so.
Amendments by Topic
- Clarification of Purpose and Factors
- Managing Threats to Fish
- Regulatory Efficiency
- Partnerships
- Enhanced Compliance and Protection
Clarification of Purpose and Factors
The amendments include new "Purpose" and "Factors" sections that set out the objectives of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's new Fisheries Protection Provisions and provides direction for decision-making in relation to these provisions.
The Purpose section states that the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act aim to provide for the sustainability and ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries.
The four factors to be taken into account by the Minister in decision-making (e.g. issuing authorizations) or making regulations are:
- The contribution of the relevant fish to the ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fisheries;
- Fisheries management objectives;
- Whether there are measures and standards to avoid, mitigate or offset serious harm to fish that are part of a commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fishery; and
- The public interest.
Taken together, these provide a framework and direction to the Minister and Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff for decision-making, developing regulations and implementing the regulatory regime and program.
Managing Threats to Fish
The new Fisheries Protection Program contains a new prohibition that combines the current section 32 (killing of fish by means other than fishing) and section 35 (harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat). The new prohibition will manage threats to fish that are part of or support commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fisheries with the goal of ensuring their productivity and ongoing sustainability.
The new prohibition is also supported by definitions of commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries in the Act, as well as a definition of "serious harm to fish", which is the death of fish or any permanent alteration to, or destruction of, fish habitat.
Until this new prohibition comes into force, the current Sections 32 and 35 (with modest amendments through Bill C-38) will continue to apply.
Regulatory Efficiency
The amended Fisheries Act gives the Minister the ability to develop regulations to ensure compliance with the new prohibition. In addition, the fish passage provisions have been modernized to provide clarity as to their application.
The amendments to the Act also include regulatory tools to facilitate regulatory streamlining and increase efficiency:
- Information Requirements will be set out in regulations to clearly spell out for proponents the information the Department requires to issue an authorization, if one is required;
- Once the information is received, the Department will be bound by set timelines for the issuance of an authorization, if required.
- Incorporation by reference into regulations, will allow the department to recognize externally-developed standards (ie not developed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada), as appropriate to guide activities in and near waters that require our management.
- Equivalency of regulatory regimes could be established if the provincial regime "meets or beats" provisions of the Fisheries Act or of its regulations.
The Act also allows the department and the Minister to clearly identify areas where authorization, and therefore analysis by the department, will not be required.
This new set of regulatory tools will help provide clarity and certainty for stakeholders and staff.
The amended Act provides the Minister with the ability to develop regulations in order to enter into agreements with other federal departments, provinces and others for the effective management of fisheries resources.
With respect to delegation, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans could, through regulations, provide other government departments or provinces the authority to issue authorizations under the Fisheries Act, as long as their regulatory processes are consistent with the objectives, purpose and factors outlined in the Act.
Enhanced Compliance and Protection
The Act now includes a number of provisions that enable enhanced compliance and protection of commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries. These fisheries will be provided additional protection by providing new authorities to the Minister to effectively address threats such as aquatic invasive species.
In addition, a number of provisions enable enhanced protection of these fisheries by:
- Aligning the Fisheries Act with the Environmental Enforcement Act (increased fines and penalties for offences);
- Creating more easily enforceable conditions for Ministerial authorizations;
- Modernizing inspector powers to assist them in ensuring compliance with section 35; and
- Establishing a "duty to notify" provision to establish obligations on persons whose actions result in harm to fish habitat to report and to take corrective measures.
Finally, the amendments also provide the Minister with the ability to designate ecologically significant areas for fish. The Minister may require higher levels of protection for such areas and proponents would be required to submit plans for review if any activities are proposed within these areas.

B. Outlook to test a mass email printer.
or C. Blank DVDs to waste.
Well, anyway, BuBBy has made a brilliant comment on today's GOTD that is basically a review. Unfortuantely I do not know whether or not I can review this myself, but here's the great link:

Jean-Luc, I second and third the above remarks, I think you are doing a whale of a job. I could not it nearly as well, if at all. Nope, not at all.
We all miss Ashraf and he had better have a good time, because we are not going to allow him to take another vacation ever in his life. ;-)
Take a day or two off. Relax. You deserve it.
Hey Jean-Luc!
This post is to second Bob's excellent comment. . .
And to demonstrate that when someone else has already done the job, there's no point in trying to replicate it. buBBa really seems to have got the bit between his teeth nowadays!

Almost makes me sad I don't have television service... almost. I'll be eagerly waiting for Hulu to post it. I have high hopes that I doubt will be disappointed.
PeanutGod's forum posts
In the stats... I have no idea what these two things are talking about. Can someone please explain these to me?
The pictures interest me, I'd like to learn more.
I noticed that when people post a blog, it seems to be posted as a thread in the forums. If I do not type in anything I think is relevant will it not post it in the forums?
First, let me say my skill level in games leaves something to be desired. I'd be game to try to "help you back" on a mission, but it may be a fruitless effort.
I don't need to get 3 stars on everything, I just want 5 more so I can play the last set of missions. I'd be really appreciative if someone could help me unlock the last level set.
Message me here on Giant Bomb to exchange PSN, my star information, and compensation ideas.
Thank you in advanced.
So, I unlocked claymores today and thought "Cool, free kills." and started placing them as I ran around getting owned by all you skilled players. To my disappointment, I didn't seem to be getting any kills with them. I was going to remove them and get my grenades back, until my Father pointed out that in the kill announcements (not sure on that name, the list in the lower left corner indicating who has killed who and with what) I was indeed killing people. However, no yellow points were popping up on my screen. So, I have a few questions...
1) Do claymore kills count as kills and give you points like every other kind of kill?
2) Using the scavenger perk, how many claymores can you place at once? It there any real limit?
3) How long do they claymores stay if they are not shot or triggered? Is it forever? Or do they go away after a set time?
Thank you in advanced for your answers.
My cousin complained that is Internet stopped working, and so I went over to take a look at it. After much searching, I noticed that his Network Card was disabled in the Hardware menu. Fixing it was as simple as right clicking it and hitting enable.
Would Windows have done this on its own? Or did someone have to manually disable it?
We were just wondering, as it seemed strange.
I agree with what a few people have said, I'd break out my NES games and have them play that.
But still inside your border... I keep my workers on automated for most of the game. I notice that they will build farms that the city can't even use. Do these have some purpose, or is the AI just being dumb?
Thank you.

How Long Will Theme Parks Be Regarded as Viable EntertainmentOverhead costs. Investment in plane tickets, hotels, transportation. How long will the party last? From TH Creative
Walt Disney World's payroll is (according to their own press) something like 60,000. How long before people become bored? How long before the economics undermine the show?Posted August 18, 2013 at 1:22 PM Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond. From TH Creative
So often, this discussion board wonders about what theme park x should do. Or what films franchise should be accessed as a new attraction. But attractions require labor. Back of house facilities require expansion and renovation. Hotel resorts need maintenance. From a perspective of pure economics ... How long can this go on?Posted August 18, 2013 at 1:57 PM From Manny Rodriguez
Till the end of time it only gets better from here.Posted August 19, 2013 at 12:37 PM From Tony Duda
There will be a day in the future when all of Earth will be an empty wasteland and the theme parks will be unrecognizable piles of rust. But not now. Let's have fun and enjoy everything as much as we can.Posted August 19, 2013 at 1:51 PM As for near future economics, theme parks will rise and fall based on free market forces. After 9/11, Disney World closed down/stopped building resorts for years until the economy picked up again. From AJ Hummel
As long as the admission price is low enough that attendance increases each year, theme parks will remain viable. I do think the frequency of new attractions (or at least massive E-ticket attractions) could decrease if they stop resulting in large attendance increases, but I doubt theme parks will go away completely in the near future. That being said, several major parks appear close to pricing themselves out of the primary market, so it will be interesting to see if significant attendance drops occur in the next few years (at least for parks with nothing new) and how said parks react.Posted August 19, 2013 at 2:21 PM From Tony Duda
I had a totally unscientific assessment along these lines recently when at Busch Gardens Tampa. I had the impression that BGT is becoming a casualty of the recent attraction wars at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando and the associated ticket and hotel room price increases. It seemed like if vacationers were looking for a way to reduce costs on a week or so visit, then BGT is getting omitted from the itinerary. A trip to Tampa is very easy to skip especially when the 5th or 6th day of a ticket to WDW is only $11 a day or an Orlando flex-pass is quite affordable. Posted August 19, 2013 at 9:59 PM From Brian Emery
Well TH – if we knew when Theme Parks will become out of favor with the Public, wouldn't we also be able to predict the future stock market. In turn we would all be rich…. Posted August 20, 2013 at 1:09 PM Plus many Theme Park companies also do movies…. So are you also assuming the movie theaters will also be empty? I will say, not in the near future… Theme Parks are getting more popular… From Rob P
Another thought provoking question from TH and one that has made me return to posting a comment on TPI after a long absence.Posted August 28, 2013 at 7:07 AM It's certainly something that I'd never given much thought to.....but realise that I should have. I've always taken it for granted that Theme Parks, particularly the big ones, would simply evolve and develop to keep bringing those crowds in. I'd never considered the possibility that other, unseen, economic issues could possibly bring about their demise. So what do I think ? I believe that there's a very real danger that the rising costs of travel could seriously impact on the industry. I also think that the escalating costs of providing the leisure service itself will also result in much higher entrance fees. Ones that could make the Parks available only to the more affluent among us. Much more than ever before we're seeing people holidaying locally on economic grounds. ( Staycations as they're called here in the UK ). It's sad to think that the Marketeers could become far more important than the Imagineers but that's business. I'm hopeful that together they will find a way to maintain Park standards while keeping ticket prices affordable. But those outside market forces may yet prevail one day and leave us without the excellent entertainment we take for granted. From TH Creative
Theme parks require a personal investment beyond the financial commitment. In a world where the internet makes the planet accessible, flat screens, Netflix and on-demand reduce the requirement to leave the house. Video entertainment (games, etc.) also provide entertainment -- and serve as a harbinger of how such entertainment will only get better.Posted August 28, 2013 at 5:45 PM There are alternatives to the parks. And they are only going to get better. From Brian Emery
There are alternatives, but what is better, getting a face fill of water from Splash Mountain or sitting on my Fat Butt watching Netflix… Posted August 29, 2013 at 8:49 AM How about watching Harry potter movie compared to going to Universal to experience WWOHP. Well, actually both of these are great… As long as the Theme parks keep delivering – we will keep going… I do understand that a vacation in Orlando or say Japan is very expensive and we as a society keep getting squeezed as the middle class, along with the richer getting richer…. (The obvious has been stated now). So maybe someday these parks will only have wealthy folks attending? The Theme parks will have to find a way to keep the cost down… If attendance declines for a few years, then prices will have to come down, instead of going up every year… Isn't $6.00 for a Hotdog and $7.00 for a beer enough…? How much of margins go they need….? Oops Sorry I digressed… Ballerina you must have seen her dancing in the sand.. From TH Creative
I remember a business person who once compared running a theme park to running an airlines. The operation costs continue to incrementally grow. And while the initial impact propagated by a marquee, gate crasher attraction results in increased attendance and revenue, the sustainability of that investment is at best uncertain.Posted August 29, 2013 at 5:28 PM From April Lancaster
I'm pretty sure that we will still have theme parks in 100 years. New technologies will allow new possibilites - maybe some kind of hologram-animated roller coasters. That's what I think of for the future :)Posted September 2, 2013 at 4:15 AM From Derek Potter
I imagine park managers having this sort of conversation 60 years ago, when a combination of new technology (TV), cultural, and economic factors were handing them a beating. It seems strange to think now that once upon a time, the industry was rotting away and nearly dead. Had it not been for a few people reinventing the model and showing success, the whole thing might have slipped into obscurity. People will always want to be entertained, either by the physical motion of a coaster, or the sensory storytelling of a themed ride, and they will always want true escape. As long as parks can provide those two things and keep it fresh, they will be ok. Back then they had to evolve, and one day they will have to again. The question becomes one of maintaining the standards set, and thats where the money comes in. I agree with you TH that there is an economic tipping point to all of this, and I would argue that the Orlando parks that charge $100 a ticket and mark everything up several thousand percent just to maintain are walking very close to it. They've managed to stay on the right side of it for now because of their product and reputation, but people are funny, and these days, so is the economy. It's hard for people to conceive of it, but history has a way of repeating itself if lessons aren't learned.

Ganesh or Gunny (Rana Daggubati) is not your quintessential, selfless Telugu film hero. He doesn't bat an eyelid before snatching his friend's t-shirt or losing a fight if it means getting a huge sum of money.
The setting is Malaysia. Gunny lives a carefree life with his friends for company. In the temple of Batu caves, he spots Krishnaveni (Genelia), who awaits her boyfriend Kishore (Harshavardhan Rane) in vain.
She is kidnapped by goons who want to sell her to a brothel and is saved by Gunny in exchange for a huge sum. Gunny plans to get the money from her family, hoodwinks Krishnaveni into going home to India stating that her mother has suffered a heart attack.
Neither does Krishnaveni carry a mobile phone nor does she think of calling home to check! Oh well, we aren't supposed to ask questions in a mainstream potboiler. In India, Krishnaveni is to be married off against her wishes. For her father (Nasser), family pride comes foremost. Gunny is asked to stay till the end of the wedding before he can be paid the money. He discovers that the wedding will bring her no happiness, and aided by her mother, leaves the village.
We see snatches of ingenuity in the way Prakash Toleti captures the couple on the run. Subbaraju (a relative of Krishnaveni) and co move to Malaysia to track her down and meanwhile, the original boyfriend returns in search of Krishnaveni.
Naa Ishtam rides on the premise that a self-centred hero, who places himself before others, will try every trick in the book to protect and win the girl he loves. For a change, it's nice to see a hero show his shades of grey. Barring that, there's nothing new. It's a film where you will see the mandatory songs (including a needless item number) and stunt sequences. Rana lets his guard down and plays to the gallery for the first time. He uses his height to advantage in the action scenes, does somersaults with ease, shows his dancing prowess and woos Genelia. As a performer, he shows improvement. Genelia sails through the role with a restrained and mature performance. It's the shoddy writing that lets her character down. It's tough to believe that a woman of today wouldn't know where her boyfriend intends to work or his email id and will meekly await his return. The boyfriend is equally perplexing. He is shown smashing his mobile phone in one scene and we gather that he doesn't buy another mobile. The couple doesn't seem to have common friends and hence, he goes around Malaysia searching for his girlfriend with a photograph! The other characters like Nasser, Subbaraju, Uttej, Ali (as the perpetually drunk motor mouth), Brahmanandam and Shawar Ali (cast as a typical Telugu film villain) are incidental to the story.
Naa Ishtam is enjoyable in parts and Chakri's music deserves a mention. The second half has too many loose ends to overlook.

The spiritual side of learning
ASTON University are taking an innovative approach to learning and teaching with the launch of their new Flexible Learning Development (FLD) Centre for academic staff which is based on spiritual Japanese principles of knowledge sharing and creation in the form of ba.
Ba is a place (which may be physical, virtual or metaphorical) offering a shared context in which knowledge creation can happen. The intention of Aston University in establishing the FLD Centre is to create a suitable ba for staff for reflection on learning activities and the production of and delivery of teaching materials. This will be a combination of physical environment, time to reflect, help to reflect (from inspiration of secondees) and appropriate support from current Aston staff or by invited visitors who are experts in their fields.
Unlike many Higher Education institutions, the focus of Aston University's new initiative is not to focus too much on technology, but to help academic staff by providing them with other resources in the form of time (in the form freedom from academic commitments) and space to gather their thoughts upon the best ways to convey their knowledge to their students.
'Not only will the Centre provide valuable time and resources for teaching staff, it offers flexibility,' explains Professor John Edwards, Director of the FLD Centre. 'People are encouraged to do things differently and to try new ways of teaching which may be more successful. University staff that are proficient in one area of learning methods will be brought into the centre to help guide others in the use of that method. Due to Aston's efficiently small size staff from all schools and departments can work together and help each other out. While other universities do offer training to their academic staff we are the first to conceive it in quite this way.'
Another factor which will be involved in the FLD Centre will be student input which may include the recruitment of one of Aston's own placement students within the Centre. The aim of the Centre is to produce innovation for the benefit of students so by injecting student input staff can find out which methods are most successful in their given subject.
'At a time when student's needs are becoming increasingly diverse it is important that we listen to student input and inject it into the Centre. There is little point in promoting learning and teaching methods which are not what any student wants,' Prof. Edwards concludes.
The FLD Centre will also act as a focus for raising awareness of the trends in resources and activities for learning and teaching, not only locally at Aston, but also more regionally and nationally. The latter will be achieved both through secondment of staff and through dissemination channels such as learning and teaching journals and conferences.

Notes for editors:
Objectives of the FLD Centre
The Aston University Flexible Learning Development Centre will encourage staff to reflect on their learning and teaching resources and methods and their appropriateness for students. The Centre will provide advice anf encourage the development of learning resources by encouraging/facilitating reflection on good practice. This will manifest itself in three ways:
1. The Centre will encourage staff to explore and embrace new ways of developing their learning resources and by sessions which demonstrate possibilities. These sessions will be run by current staff (seconded from within Aston or elsewhere) and by invited visitors.
2. Sabbaticals, secondments and workshops will give staff the opportunity for creativity and innovation in the design of learning activities and resources.
3. Resources will be available to help staff implement ideas developed via the Centre using a range of learning technologies both printed and digital. These resources will include not only tools and techniques, but also training and help with preparation of material.
The FLD Centre has been established with the aid of the Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund (TQEF) and Professional Standards funding.

PRESERVE THE 80's - STOP THE LAST DRAGON REMAKE!!
I just found out that one of my favorite childhood films, Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon, is in the process of being remade starring Samuel L. Jackson. We need to STOP this from happening! Movies from twenty years ago don't need to be remade. Let Hollywood come up with something original for once! If you haven't seen this cult classic, check it out on DVD. The Last Dragon is a classic for the fact that it is perfectly the eighties, with breakdancing, R&B, and cheesy special effects. STOP THE REMAKE!! Hopefully we will get enough attention to let Hollywood know that this is NOT WHAT THE FANS WANT!!

Most of them, including many military fighter aircraft, are designed to exceed the speed of sound only in certain exceptional flight regimes; a handful of aircraft, such as the SR-71 Blackbird military reconnaissance aircraft and the Concorde supersonic civilian transport, are designed to cruise continuously at speeds above the speed of sound.
Supersonic flight brings with it substantial technical challenges, as the aerodynamics of supersonic flight are dramatically different from those of subsonic flight (i.e., flight at speeds slower than that of sound). These challenges have largely been met. However, political, environmental, and economic obstacles of greater magnitude continue to severely limit the actual deployment of supersonic aircraft, particularly in the civilian world. Additionally, the need and demand for supersonic flight have often been insufficient to justify development or deployment of supersonic aircraft, particularly in the domain of civilian transport. The aforementioned SR-71 and Concorde aircraft are no longer flying today although Concorde was highly profitable in service, but because of the low market among operators (due to sonic booms, relatively high fuel consumption and poor range) in turn making it unprofitable for manufacturers to produce these kinds of aircraft. It can cover a distance from UAE to USA in 2 hours.
Supersonic aircraft usually use low bypass turbofans as they give good efficiency below the speed of sound as well as above, or if extended supercruise is needed turbojet engines are desirable as they give less nacelle drag at supersonic speeds.
A supersonic transport (SST) is a civil aircraft designed to transport passengers at speeds greater than the speed of sound. The only supersonic civilian aircraft to see service are the Soviet produced Tupolev Tu-144 which first flew in 1968 and was retired in 1997, and the Franco-British produced Concorde, which first flew in 1969 and remained in service until 2003. Following the cessation of flying by Concorde in 2003, there are no supersonic civilian aircraft in service.
These large aircraft, with an empty weight exceeding 25,000kg, are mainly strategic bombers and long range reconnaissance aircraft.
These aircraft, with an empty weight less than 25,000 kg, make up the overwhelming majority of supersonic aircraft in the world today, mostly operating in the fighter, and strike capacity.
A supersonic business jet (SSBJ) would be a small business jet, intended to travel at speeds above Mach 1.0. Typically intended to transport about ten passengers, SSBJs are about the same size as traditional subsonic business jets. Larger commercial supersonic transports such as the Aérospatiale/British Aerospace Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 'Charger' had relatively high costs, and high noise, low range and some environmental concerns (although these problems were less evident in Concorde than the Tu-144).

Development of Multiple Cantilevered Piezo Fibre Composite Beams Vibration Energy Harvester for Wireless Sensors

- … show all 3 hide
There is considerable interest in the development of battery-free mobile electronics systems such as wireless sensors which are used for the conditioning monitoring of engineering assets some of which are located in hostile environments. The main focus has been on the development of techniques for the harvesting of energy from ambient sources. One of the main sources of ambient energy is mechanical vibration. A number of vibration energy harvesting devices have been developed using electromagnetic, electrostatic or piezoelectric principles. A currently favoured approach is the use of piezoelectric fibre composite (PFC) materials in the form of a cantilevered beam with a tip mass. This enables significant energy to be harvested at the resonance peak of the PFC-mass vibration system. However, off the resonance peak, the harvested vibration energy is relatively too small and, consequently, the bandwidth of reasonable energy harvesting is too small. To overcome this problem, this paper presents the use of a vibration energy harvesting device consisting of four PFC beams with tip masses. Each beam is tuned to a slightly different resonance frequency. Thus, the bandwidth of significant vibration energy harvesting is considerably extended. It is shown that the multiple cantilevered PFC beams vibration energy harvester can harvest energy from ambient vibrations more effectively than a single cantilevered PFC beam vibration energy harvester.

So far, the focus of the World Twenty20 has been on Bangladesh and their progress through their Qualifying Group A to secure a place in the Super 10 stage that begins from tomorrow. But apart from the Tigers die-hards, the serious business of the World Twenty20 begins tomorrow with the mother of all rivalries -- India v Pakistan -- set to set the stage alight at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium tomorrow.
Over the following ten days the good and great of the format will lock horns and the standard of cricket will be at nosebleed levels.
As far as the big drawcards go, Group B is where it's at with India, Pakistan, West Indies, Australia and to a lesser extent the hosts (if things do not go terribly off course) fighting it out for two semifinal spots. West Indies are the defending champions while India and Pakistan are both former winners. Australia however may be the team to watch. A side packed with power hitters, the men from Down Under gave notice of their threat yesterday when they rattled up 200 for seven with wreckers-in-chief David Warner and Aaron Finch both wracking up innings at strike rates of over 200 before retiring hurt. But the reply that New Zealand gave, falling three runs short, shows that there is no such thing as a favourite in this format.
While on paper Group B may have the stronger sides, a lesser light like New Zealand giving Australia such a run for their money lends further credence to the notion that T20 is a game for the side that is stronger on the day -- or to be more accurate, stronger for three hours of the day. Sri Lanka are certainly a hot contender, having been in Bangladesh for the last two months and also being the top-ranked side in the format. After Pakistan, they are the most consistent performers in the tournament.
The other hot contender in that group, South Africa, may finally get their big-tournament act right as they have a side brimming with talent, though doubts over Dale Steyn may prove to be the spanner in the works.
For England it may be a stretch too far to do anything out of the ordinary in conditions that do not suit them or with a team still settling after a period of flux. New Zealand will count on their big hitters such as Corey Anderson and Brendon McCullum but with a weak spin department may, like England, find the going tough.
The captains have been saying the same thing in the lead-up -- that a team that gets on a roll will give themselves a great chance to win it and that to win a match you need two or three players to hit form. By that logic the in-form players must be placed at a premium. Choosing five among the many, Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka must come out on top as the batsman in red-hot form. India's Virat Kohli is the best young batsman going around, while Australia's Warner has been plundering runs in all formats. Whatever current form he is in, West Indies' Chris Gayle will always be a danger and his recent fifties could be a bad omen for bowlers. Last but not least, Shahid Afridi of Pakistan is in imperious touch with the bat, and being the quintessential T20 player, he will be integral to Pakistan's fortunes.

DOCTOR WHO Series 8 Premiere to Screen in Cinemas Worldwide
By Kyle Anderson on July 25, 2014
Well, Doctor Who might not be participating in Comic-Con, but the first name in British science fiction is certainly not staying out of the news-dropping game. The BBC have confirmed this morning that Peter Capaldi's first episode, the feature-length "Deep Breath," written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat and directed by Kill List and A Field in England director Ben Wheatley, will follow in the footsteps of "The Day of the Doctor" last November by screening on over 1500 cinema screens the world over.
Steven Moffat released this typically-jovial-yet-cryptic statement:
"Last November the Doctor didn't just conquer the world on television, he did it in the cinemas too. And like the show-off he is, he can't resist another go – one taste of the silver screen is never enough. On August 23rd the new Doctor will begin his new adventures on BBC One and in cinemas all over the world. Movie-land beware – Capaldi is coming to get you!"
P-Caps will of course not be traveling alone in this venture; he'll be joined by companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) as well as the Paternoster Gang consisting of Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny Flint (Catrin Stewart), and Strax (Dan Starkey) for an adventure in Victorian England.
Details on the specific times and individual cinema chains that will be hosting this worldwide event will be forthcoming, but we're advised to keep an eye on BBC's official Doctor Who site for updates. Of course, you can always find all your Who news (Whows? No?) here on Nerdist.com.
"Deep Breath" will air on BBC America Saturday, August 23rd, at 8/7c.
I sure as hell hope the nickname "P-Caps" does not catch on.
Oh, far too late. Sorry.

Recent computational modeling and slice physiology studies have suggested that long-term encoding may depend on sustained spiking during brief memory delays in parahippocampal neurons, and that this persistent spiking activity is modulated by effects of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors. Our recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study has shown that sustained parahippocampal delay period activity during delayed match-to-sample performance in healthy young individuals predicted subsequent memory of visual stimuli on a recognition memory assessment 20 min later (Schon et al., 2004). The current study combined this fMRI paradigm with a pharmacological manipulation to test whether this long-term encoding-related delay activity is reduced in subjects who receive the muscarinic cholinergic antagonist scopolamine before fMRI scanning. Subsequent memory was predicted by sustained activity during brief memory delays bilaterally in the perirhinal/entorhinal cortex, in the right posterior parahippocampal and mid-fusiform gyri, and in the hippocampal body in healthy young individuals without a scopolamine challenge. This activity was reduced in subjects receiving scopolamine. The results are consistent with computational modeling data and behavioral pharmacological studies, suggesting that long-term encoding-related activity may be reduced if cholinergic receptors are blocked by scopolamine.

In Response To: Epstein Barr Virus (Bonnie R.)
The two people with EBV are 8th grade students in my classroom. The presumption is that one gave it to the other. My problem is that these two girls are always sharing lipstick, soda, etc. One was diagnosed recently, but the other had the virus last year. A friend who is a public health MD told me the virus is carried in saliva and can be transmitted through kissing, or other close contact. With my compromised immune system I worry about contact with sudents who have anything.

5 amazing!lynz86 | 06/06/2007 | See all lynz86's reviews (1)this film is well worth watching, amazing storyline, and Ashton Kutcher is gorgeous! i watched it twice in a row, again amazing!
3 Surprisingly good.Rambo456 | 17/04/2011 | See all Rambo456's reviews (1259)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Gadgets Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer A fairly good Donnie Darko style movie, that makes you think about the effects your actions might have on circumstances and people. Not as good as similar type movies like Donnie Darko and Memento, but still defo worth a watch
5 Completely underratedDiamondsAreForever | 08/09/2010 | See all DiamondsAreForever's reviews (459)Top 100 Electronics Reviewer Top 100 Gadgets Reviewer Before watching this film, I found it hard to imagine Kutcher in anything but teen comedies and various MTV shows. But this movie just goes to show what an amazing actor he is. The direction is perfect and the child actors are definitely one's to watch out for. The story in theory sounds mind-boggling, but it all comes together the more you watch. B.E. never recieved an awful lot of attention, but it should have done. Highly recommended.
5 Truly Amazing...lewin88 | 05/11/2008 | See all lewin88's reviews (3)I had to write a review for this film. Mainly to explain to those who have been disapointed by the director's cut.I own two copies of this movie, the director's cut and the original.I prefere the director's cut because the ending actually fits in with the rest of the storyline. And that was how the director wanted it to be shown.I enjoyed the original, especially with the amazing oasis track to end it, but sometimes films need to have a dark ending.My advice to anybody who hasn't seen this movie is...watch the directors cut first.All in all, outstanding film. Great storyline, brilliant acting, tear jerking moments. Probably my favorite film so far!Ashton Kutcher...Where did the serious acting come from? Brilliantly done
5 Amazingly clever and involvedDirtyStopOut | 24/07/2008 | See all DirtyStopOut's reviews (106)This film is fantastic. I was lucky enough to catch it late one night and I loved it, even though it sort of messed with my head. Can you call it a thriller? I would, in a way.

Sir James Tyrrell (c.1455 – 6 May 1502)[1] was an English knight, a trusted servant of King Richard III of England. He is known for confessing to the murders of the Princes in the Tower under Richard's orders. However, his statement may have been taken under torture, so the confession might not be genuine. William Shakespeare portrays Tyrrell as the man who organises the princes' murder in Richard III.[2]
James Tyrrell was the eldest son of William Tyrrell of Gipping, Suffolk, and Margaret Darcy, the daughter of Robert Darcy of Maldon, Essex, and the grandson of Sir John Tyrrell.[1][3]
Tyrrell's father was beheaded on Tower Hill on 23 February 1462, together with Sir Thomas Tuddenham and John Montgomery. John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford, and his eldest son and heir, Aubrey, were beheaded on 26 February and 20 February, respectively, after the discovery of an alleged plot to murder Edward IV. No records of the trials of the alleged conspirators have survived to shed light on what part, if any, Tyrrell's father played in the alleged conspiracy.[4] He was not attainted, and his eldest son and heir's wardship and the custody of his lands were granted to Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, who sold them to William Tyrrell's widow in March 1463 for £50.[1]
James Tyrrell fought on the Yorkist side at the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May 1471, and was knighted there by Edward IV. A few months later he entered the service of the future Richard III, then Duke of Gloucester.[1] After Richard III assumed power, he was appointed High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1484. He was in France in 1485, and played no part in the Battle of Bosworth Field which signalled the end of the Yorkists and the start of the Tudor dynasty.
In the following year, he returned to England and was pardoned by King Henry VII, who reappointed him governor of Guînes (in the English possession of Calais). However, in 1501, Tyrrell lent his support to Edmund de la Pole, 3rd Duke of Suffolk, now the leading Yorkist claimant to the English throne, who was in voluntary exile. In the spring of 1501 Henry VII sent Thomas Lovell to Guines arrest Tyrrell and others, including Tyrrell's son, Thomas.[1]
Tyrrell was charged with treason and tortured. Sir Thomas More wrote that during his examination Tyrrell confessed to the murders of King Edward V of England and his brother Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York. He also implicated two other men. Despite further questioning, however, he was unable to say where the bodies were, claiming that they had been moved.
Tyrrell was tried and convicted of treason at the Guildhall in London on 2 May 1502 and executed four days later, on 6 May,[1] together with one of his accomplices in aiding Suffolk, Sir John Wyndham. He was buried at the church of the Austin Friars, London. He was attainted on 25 January 1504; however the attainder was reversed three years later, on 19 April 1507.[1]
Marriage and issue[edit]
In 1469 Tyrrell married Anne Arundel, the daughter of John Arundel of Lanherne, Cornwall, by his first wife, Elizabeth Morley, daughter of Thomas, Lord Morley,[1] by whom he had three sons and a daughter:[5][6]
- Sir Thomas Tyrrell (d.1551) of Gipping, Suffolk, who married firstly Margaret Willoughby, daughter of Christopher Willoughby, 10th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, by whom he had a son, Sir John Tyrrell (d.1574), who married Elizabeth Munday, the daughter of Sir John Munday (d.1537), Lord Mayor of London, and a daughter, Anne Tyrrell, who married Sir John Clere of Ormesby, Norfolk.[7][8][9]
- James Tyrrell (d.1539) of Columbine Hall in Stowupland, Suffolk, who married Anne Hotoft.[10][11]
- William Tyrrell.[10]
- Anne Tyrrell, who married Sir Richard Wentworth (d.1528) of Nettlestead, Suffolk, by whom she was the mother of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Baron Wentworth.[12]

Try telling that to Garoppolo, though. New England's second-round draft choice describes the atmosphere in and around Gillette Stadium as electric.
Since arriving on Mother's Day with the rest of the 2014 rookie class, the young QB has been crash-course digesting the Patriots playbook, and even took part in his first practice session with his new rookie teammates.
"I'm getting a little sleep-deprived, but that's a good thing in this business. It's like learning Spanish compared to English. It's a different language, really.
"Film and playbook, that's what makes a quarterback great," added Garoppolo. "You have to have the physical tools obviously, but when you get into the film room, get with the coaches and talk about the playbook, that's what really separates you."
"I think next week is when we'll interact with them more."
The Illinois native is clearly still getting accustomed to being in the bright lights of such a large media market as Boston. Coming from a self-described "big Italian family" in the Midwest, where he still lives with his three brothers at home, Garoppolo told a crowd of media that the biggest surprise thus far was leaving his mother on Mother's Day to go to his new job.
"She was a little upset about it," he admitted with an easy-going grin. "It's business now, it's my job and I'm excited to be out here."

1 of 9
As we waited for a server to bring us the bill after a weekday dinner, we heard someone yell "Bitch!" in a joking, high-pitched voice. It turned out that one man at a neighboring table of three had taken it upon himself to pay the check. He got the usual thanks, but not without a bit of sass. A few moments later, a couple holding hands (both men wearing tank tops and jean shorts) strutted by with a pack of dachshunds and a large greyhound in tow. There seems to always be a lively crowd at Pinche Taqueria on Wilton Drive, and that makes for plenty of good people-watching. Tuesdays, as they always should be, are Taco Tuesdays, and here, nine varieties were offered at $2 apiece. Unfortunately, both the sweet potato and the crunchy shrimp tacos were already sold out for the night. We opted for Baja-style fish (usually $4), coated in panko bread crumbs, fried, and topped with a spicy coleslaw; braised lamb ($4), with a fresh-tasting cucumber salsa, mint and cilantro sauce, and salty, crumbled Cotija cheese; and al pastor ($3.25), a Mexican classic with slow-roasted pork and pineapple. Read the full review.

quote:Reporter: "My understanding is that if you're a full time employee, which is 35 hours or over, you'd be covered. Or if you're part time then you wouldn't be. So wouldn't some business owners just cut people down like 34 hours a week so they wouldn't have to pay for health insurance?" Me: "It's common sense. It's what I call lose-lose."

quote:You can't tax business's or corporations dude. You can only tax people. When they talk about raising taxes on business they are talking about raising taxes on people, which then reverts right back to the consumer.

Blended for Comfort
When it comes to natural fibers, there are really only a handful of options. But when you blend them together, you create entirely new hybrids that combine the best of both worlds, and the result is often more distinctive—or even more practical—than the more typical purebred varieties.
Take wool, now and forever the king of suit fabrics. But there's a flipside to wool: Its ubiquity can also make it the anonymous pawn of suit fabrics, making you just another working-stiff in his worsted uniform. But blend wool with silk and suddenly you've got a fabric that's anything but ordinary, wonderfully textured and with lightness and visual interest that are perfect for summer… Continue>>
What Makes a Non-Iron Shirt Wrinkle Free?
In our technology accelerated age, bombarded with endless emails and text messages that seem to demand instant response, it's nice that technology has also saved us precious minutes through the invention of non-iron shirts. Mornings are rushed enough without having to open an ironing board. And, sending shirts to the cleaners costs money, in addition to yet one more errand to run.
Non-iron dress shirts have become our biggest dress shirt category, so we thought we'd tell you a bit more about what makes them special (not to mention wildly popular). Great prices and a fit guarantee you likely already know, but what you don't see is that our shirts are post-cured… Continue>>
Linen: A Natural For Warm Weather Men's Clothing
Think of linen as the rebel of the fabric family. In an age when men have wholeheartedly embraced the convenience of non-iron shirts and trousers, linen stubbornly remains its crinkly, wrinkly self. Of course, that's part of its charm.
Made from fibers of the flax plant, linen has been a part of civilization for ages, and civilized is a great way to think of it. Stylish men embrace, rather than evade, the character of its crinkly surface combined with a drape that's more structured than silk but more flowing than cotton.
There are many ways to embrace this warm-weather fabric staple. This season we've got it in virtually every color you could want… Continue>>
Caring for your Suits, Sportcoats and Blazers
There's an old song lyric that goes "You couldn't be keener/You look so fresh from the cleaner."
In fact, looking fresh from the dry cleaner is not a good thing, since it probably means your jacket looks stiff, the lapel roll has been pressed flat, and you smell like chemicals.
Eco types often point out how environmentally unfriendly dry cleaning is, and we're here to say it's not exactly gentle on your favorite suits, blazers and sportcoats either. The truth is if you want to clothing to last, you should adopt a home maintenance regimen and dry clean your clothing as infrequently… Continue>>
Storing Your Clothes Between Seasons
The most important rule for storing any clothing for a length of time is to make sure it is clean. For suggestions on how to care for your wardrobe, visit our product care section. Doing so will eliminate going through this time consuming process when you are ready to transition again. More importantly, it will prolong the life of your garments. Storing a dirty garment typically has a negative impact on the appearance which cannot be reversed.
Most items should be hung to avoid wrinkles. Plastic bags used to return dry cleaning can be used to protect your garments during this time. However, knits and sweaters should never be… Continue>>
Caring for your Shirts
Two hundred years later, George Bryan "Beau" Brummell is remembered as the most elegant man who ever lived, and one of the reasons was his emphasis on the importance of dress shirts. Brummell insisted on plenty of fresh shirts, and supposedly sent them from London to be laundered in the country where the air was fresher.
When it comes to caring for dress shirts, time, money and effort all collide. While you'll ultimately choose the method of care that best fits your lifestyle, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Dry Cleaners Versus Washing at Home
The first thing to decide is whether you want to care… Continue>>

I'm in Beirut all week working with the Lebanon Reforestation Initiative mapping team on new ways to publish their environmental analysis to stakeholders, researchers, and partner NGOs. The reforestation work this team is doing is essential. Lebanon's forests have been reduced by 30% in just the past 30 years. This loss is equivalent to the loss over the past 2,000 years.
Maps are being used to change the trajectory and regrow forests across the country. Mapping coordinators use data to determine where to reforest and which species to plant, directly informing the scope and direction of the whole organization's work. Lebanon Reforestation Initiative is also engaging their on the ground partners and stakeholders to publish their own maps using open source tools. There is a lot of energy in the online map publishing space here as the team gears up to launch with their new website in the next few weeks.
Working with vegetation expert Joseph on the mapping site.
The mapping and data team has been amazing to work with. We're excited to be part of their work analyzing potential reforestation sites and measuring current sites. Here is a quick preview of some of the maps we have been working on together.
This map uses swipe to compare combinations of layers, seen here are forest cover and wildfire risk.
We'lll post more in a few weeks when the full mapping app launches!

It can be a huge pain in the neck to travel by plane with a pet but you can save yourself a lot of hassle if you make sure to have the correct pet carrier.
A few years back I was traveling with a cat and I put her in the carrier we always use to take her to the vet. Well, it didn't meet the airlines regulations and we had to scramble at the last minute to find a bag that was acceptable. They sold one in one of the stores in the airport but I'm sure the price was inflated.
