AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong will make a limited confession to doping during his televised interview with Oprah Winfrey next week, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Armstrong, who has long denied doping, will also offer an apology during the interview scheduled to be taped Monday at his home in Austin, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no authorization to speak publicly on the matter.
While not directly saying he would confess or apologize, Armstrong sent a text message to The Associated Press early Saturday that said: "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
The 41-year-old Armstrong, who vehemently denied doping for years, has not spoken publicly about the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report last year that cast him as the leader of a sophisticated and brazen doping program on his U.S. Postal Service teams that included use of steroids, blood boosters and illegal blood transfusions.
The USADA report led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and given a lifetime ban from the sport.
Several outlets had reported that Armstrong was considering a confession. The interview will be broadcast Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network and oprah.com.
A confession would come at a time when Armstrong is still facing some legal troubles.
Armstrong faces a federal whistle-blower lawsuit filed by former teammate Floyd Landis accusing him of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service, but the U.S. Department of Justice has yet to announce if it will join the case. The British newspaper The Sunday Times is suing Armstrong to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit.
A Dallas-based promotions company has threatened to sue Armstrong to recover more than $7.5 million it paid him as a bonus for winning the Tour de France.
But potential perjury charges stemming from his sworn testimony denying doping in a 2005 arbitration fight over the bonus payments have passed the statute of limitations.
Armstrong lost most of his personal sponsorship — worth tens of millions of dollars — after USADA issued its report and he left the board of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity he founded in 1997. He is still said to be worth an estimated $100 million.
Livestrong might be one reason to issue an apology or make a confession. The charity supports cancer patients and still faces an image problem because of its association with its famous founder.
Armstrong could also be hoping a confession would allow him to return to competition in elite triathlon or running events, but World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what new information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.
Armstrong met with USADA officials recently to explore a "pathway to redemption," according to a report by "60 Minutes Sports" aired Wednesday on Showtime.

Re: Here it comes... Wachowskis, Straczynski create Netflix scifi
Well both parties are well known for their grand ambitions and frankly THAT is what is missing in SF TV these days.
So, I'll take a (likely) interesting grand mess over another safe, cookie-cutter carbon-copy SyFy product any day of the week.
All of them try to play in a bigger, more layered sandbox than a good proportion of other film/TV producers out there these days, so I feel there is hope for some real imagination and scope (either structurally or philosophically).
In fact, the only person I would be more interested making an SF TV show right now is Chris Nolan. So although the W's and JMS have their whopping flaws, count me interested.
- Mr Straczynski, we missed you...

It pulls out the little boogers
posted 6 years ago
This ia a nice way to get the fleas off and bond as well. Nani loves the attention and the grooming seems to shine up her coat. She was a stray and had a dull dry coat. The tool seems to release some of her natural oils as well. Good tool.
Pros: A great flea picker
Cons: thick coats are a little harder

[6]While perusing everything from Amish fiction to Zondervan's latest publications at the Calvin College Festival of Faith and Writing this past April, I discovered what we here at Sojourners affectionately call the "Christian Literary Underground" -- a small group of literary magazines and independent book publishers that have "staked a claim in the publishing borderlands where grit and religious devotion, literary experimentation and spirituality, the quirky and the profound can meet and mingle, " according to Julie Polter. (Read Polter's full article on the Christian Literary Underground in "The Borderlands of Publishing [7]" in our November 2010 issue [8]).
Lingering in what felt like dark and smoky corners of the pleasant conference center, this group of writers and readers believes that Christian writing can be both edgy and authentic -- true to the nature of faith without compromising literary merit. They were independent, a little snarky, and undeniably hip. In short, I wanted to be like them.
But let me warn you -- the Underground is elusive. Like early Christians doodling fish in the dirt, the folks of the Christian Literary Underground rely on subtle social cues to identify each other. So, after three days of careful sociological scrutiny, I have studied the habits of the Christian Literary underground and compiled seven essential tips for fitting in with the Christian Literary Underground scene. Try them out at a Christian writing festival near you!

6 Iraqis killed at checkpoints
BAGHDAD -- Gunmen killed six Iraqi security personnel Saturday, including a pair of sleeping policemen who were shot and set on fire, amid persistent debate over whether Iraqi forces can protect the country as U.S. troops leave.
The early-morning shootings at Baghdad checkpoints demonstrated the insurgents' aim to weaken confidence in the government and aggravate sectarian tension as all but 50,000 U.S. troops head home by the end of August.
In the first attack, gunmen armed with silenced pistols killed two policemen asleep in their patrol car at a security checkpoint in the Shiite-dominated New Baghdad neighborhood, said an officer with the federal police in Baghdad. The assailants then set the car on fire and fled, he said.
A half-hour later, a drive-by shooting on a checkpoint killed two more policemen in the Amil area.
Afghan, NATO troops pursue Haqqanis
KABUL, Afghanistan -- More than 20 insurgents including Arab, Chechen and Pakistani fighters have been killed by NATO and Afghan forces who are ramping up operations in the east against a Taliban faction linked to al-Qaida, the international coalition said Saturday.
Separately, three more NATO troops -- an American, a Briton and an Australian -- died in separate insurgent attacks in the volatile south, officials of the three countries said Saturday.
The joint force operation began Wednesday against dozens of insurgents holed up in a mountainous area of Zadran district of Paktia province. The operation focused on disrupting the Haqqani network's movement in an area used to stage attacks in the capital, Kabul, and along a highway that links Khost province and Gardez, the provincial capital of Paktia, NATO said.
Officials allege US missiles kill 12 in Pakistan
MIR ALI, Pakistan -- Suspected U.S. missiles killed 12 people Saturday in a Pakistani tribal region filled with Islamist insurgents bent on pushing Western troops out of neighboring Afghanistan, intelligence officials said.
Elsewhere in the country, gunmen targeted non-ethnic Baluchis traveling on a bus and painting a house in two attacks in southwestern Baluchistan province Saturday, killing 16 people and wounding eight.
The airstrike was the first such attack since intense floods hit Pakistan in late July.

OFWs join protests vs pork barrel
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Overseas Filipinos have expressed their support for demonstrations back home to protest corruption in the use of the legislative pork barrel.
Although mass actions are banned in Saudi Arabia, Filipinos have expressed their solidarity through social media by posting their protest photos.
In Abu Dhabi and Dubai, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) wore white clothes in their workplaces as a sign of protest.
In Hong Kong, protesters wore red and rallied for the abolition of the pork barrel. They called for the prosecution of all involved in the malversation of the billion-peso fund.
Stan Yumang, host and program director of the Good Evening Kabayan show in Hong Kong, said: "We in HK are for the scrapping of the pork barrel. Corrupt people in the government will always find a way to fill their pockets. We are not asking for a name change for Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF or pork barrel) or for the same system to be molded into something new. What the OFWs want is for it to end."
"Those proven guilty in participating in the pork barrel scam must receive punishment equivalent to committing treason. To gain back our trust, the government must be transparent about how they spend taxpayer's money. We also believed that when the pork is abolished, only those with a true heart for public service would find their place in our government," he added.
Arlene Andes based in Brussels, Belgium, told the Inquirer Radio 990 AM, that the OFWs in Europe likewise turned to social media to express their demand to scrap the pork barrel. They used Facebook to show their support for the protests.
"The OFWs are fuming mad at lawmakers who are greedy and corrupt and who are only thinking about their personal interest. These politicians do not care about the OFWs who shed blood, sweat and tears working in a foreign land just to support their families in the Philippines," Andes said.
Jelord Vergara in Tokyo, Japan send this message: "Please fight for abolishing the pork barrel in behalf of the Filipinos working in Japan. You have our all out support."
Engineers Jegs Certeza in Seoul, South Korea sent this message: "We abhor the deliberate immoral stealing of public funds— the nation's meager hope for salvation. We support the public display of dismay."
Ria Malapitan in Hong Kong demanded: "Imprison the guilty. The ordinary Filipino has been paying for the lavish lifestyle of these shameless low-life politicians for too long."
Joyce Delovieres, financial counselor and the wife of an OFW in Singapore said: "My family has to deal with loneliness. We hope that somehow, overseas remittances will translate to better government services and projects that will eventually lead to local work opportunities. I was hoping good government would help bring back a father to my kids," said Joyce, who was left behind to take care of their three children alone.
Last month, timed with the protest march at the Luneta Park, about 100 Filipino-American activists held their own rally in front of the posh Ritz-Carlton Residences in Los Angeles, where a unit is owned by Jeane Napoles.
The 23-year-old Napoles is the daughter of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, who is now detained for her alleged role in the P10-billion pork barrel scam.
Netizens noted how the young Napoles had posted photos showing her jewelry, designer shoes and handbags and Porsche cars.
Migrante International also initiated simultaneous global protests in capitals in Asia, North Africa, Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe to demand accountability and the prosecution of all those involved in the scam.
The group also called for the rechanneling of the pork barrel to provide free, more accessible and more efficient services and welfare assistance for OFWs in distress, he said.

Cleveland quarterbacks splitting reps, neither standing out
AUG 12, 2014 11:24p ET
BEREA, Ohio - Tuesday brought new insight into the Cleveland Browns ongoing quarterback competition from quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains, who spoke to the media for the first time.
It didn't bring any new answers.
"It's day-to-day," Loggains said of the Brian Hoyer-Johnny Manziel competition. "I'm not going to comment on who's ahead because it's not time to make that decision yet. We have a long process until we do, but they're both getting better every day and they're both doing really good things."
Later, Loggains said there's no leader.
That echoes what Browns coach Mike Pettine has said all along. Pettine said he'll meet with his coaching staff Thursday, an off day for the players, to finalize a plan for distributing reps and picking a starter for next Monday's preseason game at Washington.
Pettine said the Browns will likely give both quarterbacks the chance to play with the No. 1 offense in that game. Hoyer has been primarily with the starters since camp started and started the preseason opener. Tuesday marked just the third chance for Manziel to play with the starters in practice, and nothing especially remarkable or memorable came from that.
"Johnny is going to get reps with the ones (at Washington)," Pettine said. "Just to me, the factor of starting the game I think is a little bit overblown in this situation because we're going to try to balance the reps with the ones in the game. I don't think it was anything (that happened). Brian came in ahead. It's a little overrated who (trots) out there for the first time."
Said Loggains: "They're both getting equal reps. Who's around them doesn't factor in as much as they're both getting the reps. They're both getting the reps they need, the reps with the certain plays that we want them to get."
Manziel's night life has been well documented, but Loggains said he's been all business in the Browns building.
"He's a pro," Loggains said. "He's been phenomenal as far as being on top of the details. He understands he has a long way to go and work like every other rookie in this league does. He's been really good in the (meeting) room. He's right there in the playbook and studying."
A look back at Tuesday's practice and where the competition stands...
Hoyer: Hoyer threw some strong passes while operating the No. 2 offense Tuesday, another day dominated by the defense. Hoyer had the day's best completion on a deep out to Andrew Hawkins and had maybe his strongest pass of the day, a deep bomb to speedster Travis Benjamin down the middle, just miss Benjamin's fingertips.
Hoyer never strung together three or four impressive completions during the team period.
Neither quarterback was made available to the media Tuesday.
"I think that there's always room in everyone's game to grow," Hoyer said Monday. "For me, I'm always trying to improve and I think that's what drives me. I'm competing with myself day in and day out to be the best I can. I don't think that you look and say that someone has a ceiling because I think that no one is perfect.
"I think the one thing that I've learned from (Patriots quarterback) Tom (Brady) in New England, who's probably as close to the ceiling as you can get, is he's always constantly trying to get better. He's always working on something, and I think that's the only approach you can take."
Manziel: He operated with the starters Tuesday, but the first group struggled to move the ball consistently. Overall, Manziel had more misses than hits.
He made many of his throws from the pocket, and that's admittedly the area where he needs to make his biggest strides. The strength of his game remains creating plays leaving the pocket and using his feet to create big-play opportunities.
"I think I need to just continue to learn, continue to absorb everything I can in this short amount of time, and then go out and at the end of the day, just play football," Manziel said Monday. "Go out and go through your reads, and execute, and move the ball down the field, and score points. I think whoever does that the best, obviously, is going to have a better chance at the end of the day."
Pettine: "We want to make sure they're both getting reps (in the Washington game). We haven't decided on how to do it. I think there are a lot of options on the table and I have to get that sorted out, how we want to do it."
Where's Johnny: He's clearly in the thinking, based both on the practice reps and Pettine's post-practice comments. But he did little to really to help his cause in just his third chance piloting the first-team offense, especially given that Pettine said Monday the job would be earned, not given.
More chances are coming for Manziel. But if a decision really is coming shortly after next Monday's game, he has to be better very, very soon.

Delta Air Lines predicted a growth in profit for the second quarter. "Our summer bookings look solid," Delta President Edward Bastian said. "While corporate demand across the industry appears to be flat in terms of overall corporate spend, our corporate revenues this year to date are up 4% as we continue to grow share." Lower prices for jet fuel, helped in part by Delta's refinery, will create "solid margin expansion" in the second quarter, Bastian said.

Double Vantage: On Jorge Castañeda
There are a few things that Mañana Forever?, Jorge Castañeda's new book on Mexico, pointedly isn't about. It's not about violence, and it's not about the immigration debate (though it does consider the effects of emigration). Above all, it's not about the drug wars. Castañeda, it soon becomes clear, considers these subjects, especially the last, to be distractions when it comes to a discussion of the Mexican national character—or of Mexico in general. He is in agreement with David Rieff, who recently lamented in The New Republic the tendency of American commentators to endorse the idea that Mexico is at risk of becoming a failed state, and to focus exclusively on the grisly fallout from President Felipe Calderón's military campaign against the country's narco-gangs.
Lately, better news from Mexico has been attracting attention. A July front-page article in the New York Times made it clear that US perceptions of its neighbor have lagged behind reality. According to recent statistics, the flow of illegal immigrants has already stopped, with net traffic falling to zero for the first time in sixty years. "The Mexican census recently discovered four million more people in Mexico than had been projected, which officials attributed to a sharp decline in emigration," explained Damien Cave of the Times. Perhaps even more surprising, stepped-up enforcement on the US side of the border is only a small part of the picture. More significant are trends in Mexico, including increased work and educational opportunities and a sharp fall in birthrates. "The decision to leave home involves a comparison, a wrenching cost-benefit analysis," wrote Cave, "and just as a Mexican baby boom and economic crises kicked off the emigration waves in the 1980s and '90s, research now shows that the easing of demographic and economic pressures is helping keep departures in check." In short, Mexicans are finding more reasons to stay in Mexico, despite the cloud of drug violence.
This is the Mexico that Castañeda wants Americans to understand better: a country where democracy is on the rise and a new middle class is rapidly emerging. In his shrewd, contrarian study, broadly informed and bold if occasionally highhanded, he analyzes a series of character traits that have long been attributed to the Mexican people and explains how an outmoded self-image is occluding analysis of economic and social gains. Castañeda is a political scientist, so his methods are more sociological than philosophical; but his book is ultimately an ontological inquiry, an attempt to probe the Mexican psyche—or, more accurately, to diagnose and perhaps exorcise its real and imagined ills. Unlike Octavio Paz—his most renowned predecessor—he's no poet, nor does he claim to be, though he does implicitly situate himself in the lineage of Paz and other students of Mexican character, from essayists Jorge Cuesta and Samuel Ramos to psychoanalysts Santiago Ramírez and Jorge Portilla and anthropologists Roger Bartra and Claudio Lomnitz. (This book, like Castañeda's previous ones, does double duty as an excellent guide to further reading.)
Born in 1953 in Mexico City, Castañeda spent his childhood partly in Cairo and Paris, where his father served as Mexico's ambassador. He received a bachelor's degree from Princeton and a doctorate from the University of Paris, and has taught at universities in Mexico and the United States, where he is currently a professor at New York University. He also writes regularly for Reforma, El País and Newsweek. In his youth, he was a communist and an admirer of Fidel Castro; but his admiration for the Cuban regime dimmed to the point that in 1993 he published Utopia Unarmed, a foundational study of the postwar Latin American left. The book is an obituary that is in part critical of, and in part an elegy for, the leftist ideal of armed struggle forged in Cuba and exported around the region. Castañeda did not cut corners, interviewing leftist guerrillas in the region as well as Castro's spymasters. The result is an intellectually rigorous account of one of the most dizzyingly complex periods in Latin American history. As none other than Gabriel García Márquez, known for his cozy relationship with Castro, said of Utopia Unarmed, "This is the finely written and well-spun tale of the ascent and subsequent misfortune of the Latin American Left, a victim of its own willfulness and others' dogma…. And it is also a blueprint—polemical but less illusory—for surviving the shipwreck even with the loss of much of the furniture." The book remains an essential resource.
Castañeda has played two notable roles in Mexico's transition to democracy after seventy years of PRI one-party rule: first, as a late supporter of the insurgent leader of the center-left opposition, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, who in 1988 lost a presidential election that many suspect was stolen from him when vote-counting computers mysteriously crashed; second, as the foreign minister in the center-right government of Vicente Fox, who was elected Mexico's first post-PRI president in 2000. Castañeda still identifies with the left, but the left sees him as a controversial figure—a role, incidentally, that he seems to enjoy. Meanwhile, his international upbringing and cosmopolitan life—as controversial in their way as his political views—allow him to take a double vantage point as an insider and outsider of the sort that does not exist in American politics.
* * *
The question of national character is tricky, at once irresistible on a conversational level and treacherous on a theoretical one. Castañeda acknowledges this, and grounds his discussion in a careful definition, distinguishing national character from national identity. The latter is a more straightforward blend of history, religion, language and ethnic origins: a nation's official self-definition. The former is something harder to pin down: the way a nation views itself, and how it is viewed by others. Less charitably, it might be called national stereotype. According to Castañeda, it's difficult to ascribe a national character to countries of immigrants like the United States. Countries of emigrants, like Mexico, face a different problem. Does national character change when a significant percentage of the citizens live outside the nation's borders? And in this particular case, might certain elements of the American character—positive elements, specifically—be grafted onto the Mexican character via Mexico's emigrants?
Castañeda eventually attempts to answer this question, but first he sets out to examine key aspects of the Mexican national character as it has traditionally been understood: lack of community spirit and collective initiative (Castañeda rather confusingly calls this "individualism"), avoidance of conflict and competition, fear of outsiders and mistrust of laws. Each trait is identified and then deconstructed or debunked, with Castañeda endeavoring to explain why current circumstances render it obsolete. Throughout the book, one underlying tendency keeps popping up: what Castañeda calls the "Mexican predilection for simulation."
Simulation—or the tendency to present something as it is not, whether on an individual or a national level—is a Mexican peculiarity long dissected by writers and observers. In Labyrinth of Solitude, Paz celebrated it as the art of Form, a Spanish and Indian heritage, while noting the toll it takes on those who avail themselves of it; Castañeda condemns it as "a substitute for facing up to awkward realities," and sees its noxious effects everywhere. Most fundamentally, he identifies it as the rot besetting the Mexican legal system. In colonial times, laws written in Spain often had little relevance in Mexico, and so a system was worked out whereby laws were officially "obeyed" but not applied. As Castañeda explains, "This was the beginning of the separation between law and fact, between a de jure world and a de facto one, between the outward, rhetorical, and even reverential respect for the law in the abstract, and the emergence of a path in everyday life totally decoupled from that law."
This dissociation between rhetoric and reality was later reinforced by a series of Mexican constitutions, the first composed after the War of Independence and adopted in 1824, and the last proclaimed after the Mexican Revolution, in 1917. Like nearly all the constitutions of Latin American nations, these documents were based on the US Constitution and the philosophy of the Enlightenment, and were what Castañeda calls "aspirational" texts, based on the assumption that Mexico already had elections, separation of powers, economic freedoms and civil liberties. Yet in the absence of this framework for democracy, work-around solutions were devised from the beginning, and it was taken for granted that the letter of the law would remain precisely that. Even in the international arena, Mexico acquired the habit of ratifying treaties but never passing the legislation necessary to implement them at home.

The madness of Holocaust survivors is here played mainly for dark comedy. The film's dazzling central performance in a mental institute finds Jeff Goldblum in the role of his career.
Largely set in two of the least appetizing locations imaginable, a concentration camp and an insane asylum, this is a rigorously made film that does almost nothing to invite the viewer into its world.
In a less competitive year, Jeff Goldblum would have had a shot at an Oscar nod for his performance in Adam Resurrected.
The director, Paul Schrader, tries for cleansing audacity, but ends up too close to farce.
The film is so flat that it leaves you wondering if Mr. Kaniuk's book is ultimately untranslatable to the screen.
Goldblum's wobbly German accent and the staginess of the script doom this effort by Paul Schrader ("American Gigolo").

wow I'm ordering mine as soon as my dad gets home (he's the one with a creditcard ).
Too bad I already have a pegasus t-shirt. But hmm I think my boyfriend wanted one too
If there's a possibility to replace the pegasus tee with a massive black cock tee (girlie small size) then it would be great, but I think you chose the pegasus because you have more of them left right
Congrats to all the ladies, finally getting printed!

Polarization Microscope Image of Liquid Crystals
November 10, 2011
Polarizing microscope texture of a thin, liquid crystalline film. This highly nonuniform structure reflects spatial distortions in molecular orientation that occur in a nematic fluid, the simplest form of a liquid crystal. The thin nematic film (one- to two-micrometers thick) is spread over the surface of an isotropic fluid (glycerine). The upper surface of the film is free (in contact with air). In the nematic, the rod-like elongated molecules are free to move around, but they tend to be parallel to each other. The average direction of orientation is called the director. By placing the nematic film between glycerine and air, one creates director distortions in the vertical plane, as the nematic-air interface favors normal (perpendicular) orientation of the director and the glycerine-nematic interface favors tangential (parallel) orientation. Since the direction of alignment in the plane of the film is not fixed, the film exhibits numerous distortions, with the director changing from point to point. The interference colors of the film result from different director tilt and some variation in the thickness of the film. The dark bands mark the regions where the orientation of liquid-crystal molecules is parallel to either the polarizer or analyzer of the optical microscope. This image was created by Oleg D. Lavrentovich, director of the Liquid Crystal Institute and professor of chemical physics in the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program at Kent State University. The complex, 3-D molecular arrangements in liquid crystals and other soft materials reflect a rich variety of physical mechanisms that represent the focus of Lavrentovich's research. Recent research in Lavrentovich's lab (supported by National Science Foundation grants DMR 05-04515, DMR 07-10544 and DMR 09-06751), explore what the physical mechanisms are behind the complex, 3-D molecular architectures; what controls the molecular order in space; and what controls the time dynamics of this order. The goal is to learn how to construct self-assembled complex materials with unique structural, electric and optical properties. Liquid crystals have already been a technological revolution through their liquid crystal displays, and much more is on the horizon of current knowledge if we were to explore and utilize more complex molecular arrangements than those in these displays.

Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun reported Tuesday that they experienced double-digit declines in slot-machine revenues in June, the last month of the state's 2013-14 fiscal year.
As always, the casinos sent 25 percent of their slots "win" — the amount of wagers they kept after paying out prizes — to the state, bringing their combined 2013-14 contribution, unofficially, to $279.9 million, which would be 5.6 percent less than their 2012-13 contribution of $296.4 million.
In the seven years since the 2006-07 fiscal year, when the casinos' combined contribution peaked at $430.5 million, the annual payments have fallen, unofficially, by $150.6 million, or 35 percent.
State officials said the final numbers for 2013-14 would not be available until the first week of August.
Foxwoods' slots win for June totaled $37.7 million, down 13.1 percent over the $43.4 million it won in June 2013. Mohegan Sun's June win of $45.3 million was down 10.3 percent over the $50.5 million it kept the same month the previous year.
The June numbers reflect "a continued softness in the economy, not only in this market but in most, if not all, mature gaming markets throughout the country," said Bobby Soper, Mohegan Sun's president and chief executive officer.
Foxwoods sent $10.1 million of its June win to the state, while Mohegan Sun contributed $11.7 million.
The state's budgetmakers had assumed the casino's 2013-14 contribution would be $285.3 million. In a letter last month to the comptroller, the state Office of Policy and Management reduced the estimate to $281.3 million, according to Gian-Carl Casa, the OPM's undersecretary for legislative affairs.
The adopted state budget for 2014-15 includes $278.5 million in casino slots revenue.
June's dismal numbers were worse than those the casinos had reported for May, when Foxwoods was down 9.3 percent and Mohegan Sun was down 6 percent. Both casinos had reported double-digit declines in April and March.
Still, Soper offered a positive outlook.
"June's always a fickle month," he said. "The weather was extraordinarily nice, and people have graduations and things, which can hurt us. We've got some great entertainment this month and we're optimistic that July and August — traditionally our peak months — will produce better results."
Amid the continuing erosion of the Connecticut slots market, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun have pursued casino projects in other Northeast states.
Mohegan Sun has proposed a $1.3 billion resort casino in Revere, Mass., one of two projects vying for the Greater Boston casino license the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is expected to award by early September. Mohegan Sun is partnered with a New York developer on a $550 million project in Thompson, N.Y.
Foxwoods has been interested in partnering on a project in southeastern Massachusetts. It withdrew from a project it had proposed in Liberty, N.Y.
Aside from economic conditions, the casinos have been affected in recent years by growing competition from slots parlors in New York City and Yonkers, N.Y., and the expansion of gambling in Rhode Island. Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., added table games to its slots last year, and voters in Newport, R.I., will decide in a November referendum whether the Newport Grand slots parlor should be allowed to similarly expand.

The NLRB confirmation process is broken and has been for years.
When President Bush was in office, the Democrats effectively blocked the selections to the Board. As a result, President Bush had to use recess appointments to fill the vacancies. Back in 2010, when faced with opposition from the Republicans, President Obama did the same thing.
In 2011, President Obama has continued to face opposition to his nominees. So yesterday, he made three new recess appointments to the NLRB. (Labor Relations Counsel has full details on the selections here and there are other posts with background here.) This will bring the board to five members for the first time in years...

The U.S. economy grew only 1.8% in 2013, but these 10 states outpaced the nation.
Score another one for fossil fuels. As in many of the fastest-growing states, mining drove Oklahoma's 2013 growth, with coal accounting for most of the increases.
Last year, the state produced more than one million tons of coal from deposits in the northwest of the Sooner state. Mining jobs have also been growing, and overall, unemployment in the state is low, at only 4.6%.

mation technology would be made scientifically robust through agency-wide adoption of a regulatory science discipline.
Goodman outlined the following areas of scientific emphasis and the vision of success for each:
Transform product development—Given calls for a paradigm shift in drug development, Goodman predicted that the process will be radically different upon successful implementation of regulatory science at FDA. He described the ideal process as agile and adaptive to new information, with the ability to consolidate clinical and biological information and identify population subgroups that can uniquely benefit from new drugs, with the ultimate goal of delivering products to patients efficiently and safely. Personalized medicine, diagnostics, biomarkers, innovative clinical trial designs, and combination interventions can all benefit from this change.
Identify unmet public health needs—The ability to respond rapidly to a pandemic with prepared countermeasures is crucial to the safety and security of the nation and to the national and global public health. Sound science, technology, and methods are essential for the development of products to respond to global diseases, emerging infectious disease threats, and bioterrorism; vaccines; and diagnostics. An ideal regulatory system will be able to identify innovative products with the potential to address unmet medical needs and provide countermeasures for public health and stability.
Focus on regenerative medicine—Stem cells, engineered tissues, and combination products are areas of rapidly emerging technology; however, FDA's intervention will be necessary to bridge the gap between innovation and the market. Despite limited resources, stated Goodman, FDA recognizes the importance of regenerative medicine and has made an effort to interact with the development community and NIH to consider standards and models in this area. The hope is that such medicines will be successfully developed to treat serious diseases, replace damaged organs and tissues, and create new treatments for diabetes and cardiac and neurogenerative diseases.
Modernize predictive science—As with regenerative medicine, FDA has the potential to improve predictive science and translate advances in life science and engineering into practice. With a sound science base and the right resources, the agency can modernize in vitro toxicology and product characterization, rapidly detect pathogens and contaminants in food and medical products, and assess environmental and chemical hazards.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says he and chief executive Rick Parry are against the Premiership's plans of an international round.
"I don't like it. To play another game in another country is not right for this competition. You must play here in England with the same opportunities for everyone," Benitez said. "The seeding idea is the reason I don't like it. Everyone should have the same opportunities.
"If you can change the league to improve it then that's OK, but in this case it's just about money. You can organise a tournament between the top four in Hong Kong if you wanted money. I don't think it's a solution for anyone. It's not a good idea.
"Maybe the people want to show the level of the Premier League and it might be positive in terms of finance, but if you play 38 games in your country that's enough. You don't need to play games in other countries, otherwise you'd be playing all your life.
"I've spoken with Rick Parry about it and we think the idea is not the best."
The Daily Mail says Benitez's attack on the motion has the potential to drive a further wedge between himself and Anfield's American owners, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who are reported to have reacted with cautious interest when the international round of matches was mooted.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
It was in part from a series of dinosaur-themed picture books—specifically, the volume about the bizarre winged devil-turkey known as the archaeopteryx—that I first learned, as an eight-year-old, that the so-called terrible lizards were actually closer to giant plucked chickens. Greg Sullo, frontman for the Brooklyn-based indie-pop band Dinosaur Feathers, found out in early 2008: "I was at the Museum of Natural History, and learned the wonderful fact that dinosaurs had feathers—even T. rex and the velociraptor," he recalls, visibly excited.
He was so inspired by that marbled nugget of truth and whimsy—not hard to believe, given that he used to write songs based on National Geographic articles about Bhutan and the polar ice caps—that it came to define his band, which now tends toward groggy acoustic pop tunes sandwiched between abundant vocal harmonies and a sequenced drum machine. "History Lessons," the B-side from Dinosaur Feathers' debut single, is nothing so much as a fossilized Fleet Fox, opening with four-part choral interplay, forest-gully reverb, and triumphant major chords. But the band forges its own textures, thanks to the drum machine, which sounds anything but mechanical, at least once Sullo uses it to get his More Cowbell on, as well as his congas, tablas, and bells, all heavily altered and pitch-shifted, usually with nary a snare sample in sight.
That exotic zest has become one of the band's defining features, even though it comes from a can. "I think it drives a lot of what this band does, in terms of the flavor," says Derek Zimmerman, Sullo's lanky former college a cappella buddy who now plays keyboards and handles most of the vocal arrangements.
"I wanted to create something that seemed sort of fantastical, but when you broke it down into its elements, was still very organic," explains Sullo, who immediately thereafter describes "taking a look back at those old '50s and '60s songs and reimagining them with modern technology that the Beatles and Os Mutantes didn't have." Either way, Dinosaur Feathers are evolving nicely—from this summer's free-download Early Morning Risers EP to the full-length scheduled for March—but Sullo still worries about his favorite paleontological theory. "It'll be interesting to see where that information goes in 20 years," he says. "I wonder how much of it is getting into literature and textbooks and the sort of books you'd have as a kid. Maybe we can do our part to help."
Not necessary, guys: It's already out there. And, in any case, when faced with a chimera that's part dragon and part peacock, who can really say which half doesn't belong?
Dinosaur Feathers play Cameo November 23 and December 7 and 17

On May 23, 2013, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued Notice PIH 2013-12, "Implementation of the Federal Fiscal Year 2013 Funding Provisions for the Housing Choice Voucher Program," (the Notice). The Notice implements Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program funding that is provided through the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, enacted on March 26, 2013 (the 2013 Act). Of particular importance, the Notice provides a new category of funding to address HCV funding shortfalls resulting from sequestration.
As in prior years, HUD may adjust funding allocations to housing authorities that meet certain criteria. The 2013 Act provides a set-aside of up to $103 million for specific categories as follows:
Category 1: Prevention of Termination of HCV Families Due to Insufficient Funding
Category 2a: Unforeseen Circumstances
Category 2b: Portability Cost Increases
Category 3: Project-Based Vouchers
Category 4: HUD-VASH
Category 1 is a new category and is intended to address the impact of sequestration. The 2013 Act provides that set-aside funding may be made available to housing authorities that, as determined by the Secretary, would be required to terminate families from the HCV program as a result of insufficient funds. In light of reduction of HCV funds due to sequestration, housing authorities may find the set-aside a helpful resource to address funding shortfalls. With the exception of Category 1, the categories listed above may not be funded, depending on the number of eligible applications and funding limitations.
In order to be considered for Category 1 funding, a housing authority must meet the eligibility requirements described in the Notice. Generally, those requirements are as follows:
Eligibly requirements for the remaining categories can be found in the Notice.
The submission deadline for requesting set-aside funding is June 24, 2013. Housing authorities applying for Category 1 funds may submit applications after June 24, 2013, but applications received after that date will be reviewed by HUD on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications for categories other than Category 1 will not be reviewed until after HUD has made funding eligibility determinations for all Category 1 applications submitted by the June 24 deadline.
If you wish to discuss this notice, please contact Sharon Wilson Géno at 202.661.2218 or email@example.com, Amy M. Glassman at 202.661.7680 or email@example.com, or Nydia M. Pouyes at 202.661.2216 or email@example.com.

With Monday's signing of Aramis Ramirez, the Brewers seem to have moved on from Prince Fielder.
But where will Fielder move on to?
The Cubs and Mariners are both in on the Fielder market, new CBSSports.com colleague Jon Heyman reported Monday. The Rangers, Blue Jays, Marlins, Orioles and Nationals, among others, could also be interested.
Fielder could be a particularly good fit in Chicago, especially with Dale Sveum as the new Cubs manager. Sveum was the Brewers hitting coach, and has a very good relationship with Fielder.
When Theo Epstein came over from the Red Sox to run the Cubs baseball operations, the thought was that he would stay away from high-priced free agents this winter, because the rebuilding process at Wrigley Field is expected to take several years.
But Fielder is just 27, young enough to fit into a long-term plan. Also, new rules that limit spending on draft and international signings leave the Cubs unable to speed up the process by outspending other teams on those markets.
The Mariners desperately need offense, and Fielder has long been considered a possibility. Like Sveum, Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik has ties to Fielder. Zduriencik was the scouting director who drafted Fielder for the Brewers.
The thought among many in baseball, though, has been that Seattle won't be Fielder's preferred landing spot. It's as far as possible from his Florida home, the Mariners are unlikely to contend, and Safeco Field isn't friendly to power hitters.
The Rangers, with a team that has gone to the World Series two straight years and a ballpark that favors hitters, would no doubt be an attractive destination. But club president Nolan Ryan has played down any interest, insisting that he likes first baseman Mitch Moreland and that Fielder would be a difficult fit in the Rangers' budget.
The Blue Jays will eventually need to play on free agents like Fielder if they're as serious about being a big-market team as they say they are. But Toronto people have also suggested that they don't want to give out the type of long-term contract that Fielder will command.
The Marlins have given conflicting signals about their possible interest in Fielder, but at this point it seems safe to say they're not as excited about him as they were about the possibility of signing Albert Pujols.
The Orioles have long liked Fielder, but it's unclear how much money owner Peter Angelos is willing to spend this winter, and also uncertain how interested Fielder would be in going to a team that has shown little sign of being competitive in the American League East.
Nationals officials repeatedly insist that they won't pursue Fielder, but others in the game look at the team's strong working relationship with agent Scott Boras and wonder if that could change. The Nationals have Adam LaRoche signed to be their first baseman in 2012, and the long-term plan is to move Mike Morse from left fielder to first base.

As Brewers move on, Cubs, Mariners look at Prince
While I believe your point is still well taken, naturally people will jump on the fact that he did play in Safeco, as a Mariner, on two separate occassions. As it turns out, he actually did for the balance of the 1999 season (it opened July 15, 1999) and again when he signed with the Mariners in February of 2009 . . .

Ken Griffey,Jr did play at Safeco Field after it opened in July of 1999
This is true but the point is still the same. It was kind of a silly comment when Griffey in fact only played 2 months there.
Safeco is well known for being one of the worst hitters parks in the majors.

Fielder is not going to the Cubs. This would go against everything Epstein has said to this point. Even if one thought he would be a good fit for the Cubs, they have no other power in their lineup, with Ramirez and Pena gone. So he would be pitched around a lot.
The Cubs still have to look toward rebuilding for the future; this will take more creative spending and looking for loopholes in the process. It does not mean to abandon the whole idea and spend a ton on one player.

Safeco field is especially suited to left handed power hitters. The ball carries really well from riight center to the right foul line any time of year. It was built for Griffy Jr., a lefty power hitter, bone head.

prince would be a good fit in wrigley, and given how restricting the new cba makes spending internationally and in the draft, that basically leaves free agency as the one facet teams can overspend to help their team. if i were the cubs, i'd be inclined to hand fielder a 6 year deal with a vesting option for 7 and an early termination clause after maybe 4, allowing both sides to decide whether or not they'd like to be together for a few more years.

Finding a great H55 board to match up with your Clarkdale CPU isn't hard, as the market currently has a great selection. But Gigabyte's H55M-USB3 stands out, as it has a superb feature-set for its ~$100 price tag, and also proves itself in our tests as being a great all-around board, and one that seems to have no limit in overclocking.
In the world of benchmarking, there seem to be many tools that can accomplish the same thing as a hundred others, and where storage is concerned, that couldn't be more true. Although we've used HD Tune Pro, HD Tach and others in the past, we've opted to begin using ATTO, as it's incredibly lightweight (at less than 100KB), yet offers a fair amount of flexibility.
For our run with ATTO, we leave all options at default, except the Queue Depth, which is increased to the max value of 10. It's also important to note that we're benchmarking the OS drive, which happens to be Intel's X25-M 80GB (Gen 1).
Thinking back about a decade ago, archiving applications were kind of scarce. Well, the free ones were. Applications such as WinRAR and WinZIP have been available for a while, but a free solution is going to appeal to a far greater audience, especially if you don't need or want the extra features that come included with the aforementioned options.
While 7-Zip may not be the most robust archiver out there, in looks or in features, it's free, and offers a great amount of functionality and performance given that fact. For our test with 7-Zip, we take a 4GB folder littered with just over 5,000 files and archive it to our secondary drive, the mechanical Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB.
Like Futuremark, SiSoftware is another company that needs no introduction. As far back as I can remember using Windows, I was using Sandra to check up on my machine, and to stress it. Over time, the company has added in numerous ways to benchmark your PC, and there's pretty much nothing it can't tackle. The company even recently added in GPGPU benchmarking, so they're really on top of things.
There's nothing out of the ordinary here with any of the results, although it seems rather clear that when dealing with SSDs, the storage performance can vary quite a bit from board to board and situation to situation. The forced loose memory timings on the Intel board really shows itself in the Sandra Latency test.
