Depending upon how much lamb is included, the stew can be lentil with lamb or lamb with lentils.
The fat held in crawfish heads is a valuable addition to this stew, though, and adds a lot of flavor.
Mingled in the stew of fabrics were delicate floral prints adorning dresses, pants, and bandaged around bodies.
c.1400, "to bathe in a steam bath," from Old French estuver (French étuver) "bathe, stew," of uncertain origin. Common Romanic (cf. Spanish estufar, Italian stufare), possibly from Vulgar Latin *extufare "evaporate," from ex- "out" + *tufus "vapor, steam," from Greek typhos "smoke." Cf. Old English stuf-bæþ "hot-air bath;" see stove. Meaning "to boil slowly, to cook meat by simmering it in liquid" is attested from early 15c. The meaning "to be left to the consequences of one's actions" is from 1650s, from figurative expression to stew in one's own juices. Slang stewed "drunk" first attested 1737.
c.1300, "vessel for cooking," from stew (v.). Later "heated room" (late 14c.). The noun meaning "stewed meat with vegetables" is first recorded 1756; Irish stew is attested from 1814. The obsolete slang meaning "brothel" (mid-14c., usually plural, stews) is from an earlier sense of "public bath house," carried over from Old French and reflecting the reputation of such houses.

What: A former Georgia teacher blames computer viruses for altering his Web sites and uploading child porn images.
When: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on Aug 22.
Outcome: The appeals court upholds the conviction of Michael Aaron O'Keefe.
What happened, according to court documents:
Michael Aaron O'Keefe once was an eighth-grade math teacher at Lee County High School in Albany, Ga.
In addition to his day job, O'Keefe created Web sites with names like "modelquest" and "hctweens," entreating visitors to submit "hard-core images" through e-mail.
That much is clear. What remains disputed are O'Keefe's motivations. He claims to be an anti-child-pornography crusader who developed Web sites to entrap child predators in order to turn their identities over to law enforcement authorities.
Federal prosecutors, however, view him as a run-of-the-mill Internet predator. They point to no records of O'Keefe contacting police to turn in miscreants.
What makes this case relevant to Police Blotter is that O'Keefe claims his vigilante efforts were thwarted when the Web sites allegedly were hacked into and altered by computer viruses to include a selection of child porn images. Not all the details are clear from the opinion, but some kind of malware is definitely blamed.
That brings us to May 2003, when O'Keefe was busy posing as two young girls, ages 12 and 13. He posted messages on discussion groups and circulated "photos" of the children to male suitors in an attempt to set up meetings. (Incidentally, posing as a minor is a common tactic used by government agents.) In return, O'Keefe asked men to send him images of young girls of the same age range engaged in sex.
That captured the attention of federal authorities, who raided his home the next month and indicted him a year later. He was charged with the receipt, possession and advertising of child pornography.
During the trial, O'Keefe testified in his defense and claimed that he began gathering evidence against child predators on the Internet because of an incident involving a family member in 1990. After trying to report predators to the police anonymously, he claimed to have decided to strike out on his own.
As for the child porn and the malware, the defense called Jeff Fischbach, an expert witness who examined the computer. Fischbach stated that he found indications of malware on O'Keefe's computer, which the court described as permitting "another user to control the computer by remote and give the appearance that the computer's owner performed actions on the computer that the owner actually did not perform." That could describe any number of programs, including the famous Back Orifice.
Prosecutors argued that the explanation of a virus was "far-fetched" and "hypothetical." James Fottrell--part of the High Technology Investigative Unit within the Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section--testified that he did find two viruses on O'Keefe's computer. But, Fottrell said, they weren't capable of "downloading and uploading child pornography and sending out advertisements."
A jury found O'Keefe guilty of all counts and the trial judge sentenced him to 17 1/2 years in prison. The 11th Circuit rejected his appeal, which argued that prosecutors violated his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent by discussing O'Keefe's failure to report his activities to law enforcement and also claimed that the government engaged in prosecutorial misconduct during its closing argument.
O'Keefe is not alone in his attempt to blame malware. A British man was charged with having hundreds of illegal images; he blamed a "virus from broadband." In another British case, the defendant blamed porn sites for infecting his laptop with a virus.
Excerpts from the 11th Circuit's 3-0 opinion (click here for PDF):
On direct examination, O'Keefe testified that he began gathering evidence against child predators on the Internet because of an incident involving a family member in 1990. O'Keefe stated that he had participated in anti-child-pornography Web sites and reported information to the police anonymously, but was dissatisfied with the response.
As a result, O'Keefe decided to begin a personal crusade against child predators and began associating with others who were interested in trying to rid the Internet of child pornography. He later developed Web sites in an attempt to attract these predators so that he and his associates could eliminate child pornography on the Internet. O'Keefe claimed that the other individuals with whom he worked in developing the Web sites also had access to the sites. O'Keefe acknowledged that he created the "hctweens" Web site and survey with the intent of eliciting "hard core images" from pornographers through e-mail. O'Keefe stated that he intended to transmit the information received from the "hctweens" Web site to the Anti-Child Porn Organization. O'Keefe further stated that he had previously reported anonymously to the Anti-Child Porn Organization who in turn reports to law enforcement.
On cross-examination, O'Keefe testified that he wrote a survey containing sexually explicit questions involving children and posted the survey on one of his Web sites. O'Keefe also acknowledged that a Web site containing child pornography stories was on his computer, as well as pornographic pictures that involved children, but he maintained that he did not recall viewing the stories or pictures. O'Keefe further testified that he saved pornographic images on the floppy disks, but did not know that the images involved pictures of children....
(Defense expert) Fischbach further testified that he searched for the presence of a Trojan virus on O'Keefe's computer because the events on the computer did not appear to be consistent with a single user. Fischbach stated that he found suggestions of a Trojan virus on O'Keefe's computer, which would have allowed another user to control the computer by remote and give the appearance that the computer's owner performed actions on the computer that the owner actually did not perform. On cross-examination, Fischbach testified that he did not "find a specific Trojan virus" on O'Keefe's computer, but rather he found "only indications of a certain type of virus" and, if there was a virus, it had already been removed.
The government further argued that "(t)he defense explanations are far-fetched, hypothetical theories.... As their expert admitted, not on cross-examination, but on direct when (O'Keefe's counsel) was asking him, he was spoon-fed, and then he sat here on the stand and regurgitated his spoon-fed theories."
During the closing arguments, O'Keefe's counsel informed the jury that O'Keefe's defense "has nothing to do with being a vigilante?Our position is everything (O'Keefe) did in his quest to end pedophilia and child pornography on the Internet was legal."
The government then presented its rebuttal argument, stating: "There's no evidence (O'Keefe) ever did anything to help law enforcement. And, yet, when Special Agent Brant showed up in his house?he had nothing to say. Nothing to say. Didn't say thank God you are here, I am one of you, I am a good guy, I have been looking at these sites, I have been tracking them down. No. Never said it. The first time we ever heard about that?was in court after the trial had started where he put on his sham make-believe vigilante defense on helping law enforcement?Again, the defenses sprout up like mushrooms and none of them make any sense?When the facts are against them. The law is against them. When both the facts and the law are against you, as a defense attorney, you make something up?You make up the Trojan horse virus."

Baseball Gets Clipped by UC-Clermont
CIRCLEVILLE, OH - The OCU men's baseball team could not get the offense going in a pair of losses to UC-Clermont on Thursday afternoon.
In what proved to be a matchup of pitching and defense, Clermont edged out the Trailblazers 2-0 in the opener. The night cap was another pitchers duel as OCU came up short 3-2.
OCU pitcher, Mike Miller tossed 7 innings of solid pitching in game one, yielding only one earned run. Richie French tossed 7 innings in game two, allowing 3 earned runs, and striking out two batters.
Cory Haner provided the offense for OCU, connecting on a pinch hit, two out, two RBI single in the bottom of the 7th inning of the night cap.
The Blazers now sit a 10-27 on the season, having lost their last 6 games. OCU will look to end their drought today in a doubleheader against The University of the Cumberlands at 2:30PM.

Unfortunately, we refer to all Gen III and Gen IV small-block engines as LS series. This is because the engines are built on the original architecture that was launched with the LS1 engine. As we're sure you know, earlier small-blocks went by many other designators, and one of the most confusing could be the LT engine family. There was the Gen I LT-1 back in 1970, the Gen II LT1 (without dash!) that came out in 1992, and then the LS engines starting with the 5.7L LS1 in 1997. This was the birth of the LS lineage with the Gen III LS2 coming in the '05 Corvette displacing 6.0 liters, and the current Gen IV 6.2L LS3 that was debuted in 2008. There have been many engine designators for the LS engines as the L-99, L-92, LS6, L-76, and many others.

I want to add a six-speed manual transmission to my '96 Impala SS. Could you guys help me find a main pedal bracket kit or give me advice on the best way to go? Thank you, and love your magazine.
Jamario Walker
Columbus, GA
Jamario, you know why GM designated the Impala a B-body? It's because that they are big, bad, and bodacious! They didn't come from the factory bodacious, but you can certainly make them that way.
You're asking for one tall order since GM never offered a manual transmission option in the late B-cars. A few guys have built their own swaps, but we've found a company that has done all the hard work for you. Check out B-Body High Performance, which offers a complete trans swap kit that includes the clutch pedal mount for the hydraulic clutch, a clutch pedal, and a modified factory trans crossmember. These components are laser-cut and TIG-welded in fixtures for repeatability. They also include firewall reinforcement brackets to support the added load of the clutch pedal operation. Give B-Body High Performance a call for more information at (941) 6SPEED-1 or check it out online, as B-Body has a ton of photos of the components and swaps preformed by both the company and its customers. Good luck with your Imp!

Pressure Equals Work
I have been pondering this engine setup for years but I want to know if I am correct. I want to build a very high-revving engine with a turbo. It doesn't matter if it has no low-end torque. The high revs thrill me.
If I take a large-bore block and throw in a very short-stroke crank, using long rods should give a slower piston acceleration while the wider pistons should decrease the chance of detonation because of a lower combustion chamber pressure (at normal atmospheric pressure, no boost).
It seems counterproductive when many stroke their engine to the max. Drive it like you stole it!
Todd Kibbe
Providence, RI
The bottom line is cylinder pressure is cylinder pressure. The larger the bore, the more surface area there is that the same amount of pressure has to push down against the piston crown. The motoring (no cylinder firing) cylinder pressure will be dictated by the swept volume of the cylinder and its parts. The ratio among the swept volume and the combustion chamber, combustion chamber floor (piston crown), head gasket volume, and ring land area around the piston sets the compression ratio. When you then add fuel, air, and spark, you increase the cylinder pressure by extracting heat from the fuel and expanding the air. If you have 1,000 psi of cylinder pressure on a your large-bore/short-stroke combination, versus a small-bore/long-stroke combination, displacing the same cubic inch you still have 1,000 psi in the combustion space. The power will be close in both combinations except for the frictional differences. You could build your combination for your high-revving thrills, but don't look for reduced detonation threshold from your large bore exercise.
Now for your "counterproductive" statement about stroking your engine. Yes, there is a feasible displacement limit for any engine design. Increasing the displacement on a boosted engine is a great way to make outrageous power. Remember, every time you double atmospheric pressure going into the engine you basically double the output of the engine in a boosted application. Of course, you must control charge temperature, and don't overstress components to failure. In other words, if you push 14.696 psi of boost into your engine you should expect close to a 100 percent increase in power. This is with a turbo compressor arrangement. With a supercharger you must drive the compressor with power from the engine. It's going to steal some of your gains.
Let's just say for numbers you build a 302-cid small-block. At 1.5 hp per cube it will produce 453 hp, naturally aspirated. If you stuff 14.7 psi of boost down its throat, with the proper configuration, you could expect around 800 hp! If you build a 377 small-block with the 4.155-inch bore and 3.48-inch stroke at 1.5 hp/cube that equals 565 hp. Now throw the same one atmosphere at it and you will yield 1,018 hp!
This is a very simplified example of the power potential of boosting an engine. We'll take the displacement every time if you have the package to control the power. Great questions, and keep on thinking!
Multi-Coil Benefits
I read several magazines every month, but I enjoy your technical question section the most out of any of these. I really have no personal project that caused me to raise this question, just the thoughts that came from all my sources.
I was under the impression that one of the benefits of the LS engine was the individual coil pack for each plug. I have read how having such a setup allows the coil to have longer to recover between fires, which sounds very logical and as a great gain. However, I see some building very aggressive LS motors, but using a Ford distributor and returning the engine back to a single-coil configuration. I was hoping you could shed some light on why this is being done to what I thought was a superior design. Thanks.
Randy Ranloachi
Via email
You're spot on with your assessment of the multi-coil features and bennies. The coil-near-plug arrangement gives the coils 610-plus degrees of crankshaft rotation to saturate with a fresh 12V charge to be ready for its next high-voltage discharge. It also eliminates the issues with secondary voltage across the distributor cap, rotors, and the long plug wires that have a bad tendency to leak voltage when the load goes up. Electricity will take the easiest path of flow, and if it's easier to flash voltage over the plug insulator, or around a boot to a header when the cylinder pressure gets high, it will. Also, with individual coils for each cylinder you can control the spark advance to each cylinder. When the detonation sensors see spark knock, they identify which cylinder is having the issue by using the crank position sensor and the cam sensor and pulls out the spark to that individual cylinder until the cylinder has recovered.
Now, back to the engines you've seen that have reverted back to a distributor and single coil. Chevrolet Performance designed a front cover assembly to run a standard distributor and mechanical fuel pump for limited stock car application. To this day, some sanctioning bodies are scared of electronics and their inability to police what the competitors are doing with them. The way GM got around this was to create the ability to run a distributor for the carbureted LS engines. Its LS front distributor drive cover is sold under PN 88958679. Using this front cover requires the use of a small-block Ford-style distributor, mechanical fuel pump, special water pump, accessory drive, and damper.
To retain the eight ignition coils on carbureted applications, you can also run an MSD 6LS-2 Ignition Controller for carbureted LS engines. MSD offers two different controllers based on if you have a 58X or 24X crankshaft reluctor ring. These systems are very cool as you can use pre-programmed ignition curves that can be changed by swapping out timing modules, or you can create and download your own custom ignition curve based on your application. The software is supplied with the ignition controller as part of the package.
Thanks for the question; surely you're not the only one who has noticed a distributor on LS engines. Unless it's needed to meet some rules requirements, or you're completely put off by electronics, we would retain all those lovely coils on the valve covers.

Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister today pinned his and his party's hopes of Scottish independence on a slightly earlier date than imagined – 18th September 2014 – hoping for a six week feelgood bubble following the 3rd August closing ceremony – contracted to a non-Scottish company – of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
With the Ryder Cup to take place from 26th-28th September, the First Minister has discounted the niche appeal of this event in favour of the far wider impact of the Games. He has chosen to avoid the risk of the diminution of the impact of the Games in the publicity for the golf contest – and with Scotland competing in the Games under its own flag.
The closet political community of Holyrood was abuzz all morning at the coming announcement of the date of the referendum on Scottish independence – while the country, with more to think about, went about its business as normal.
In the Scottish parliamentary chamber, the opposition greeted the setting of the date with less than acuity.
Johann Lamont, leader of the Scottish Labour group, the only substantial opposition, chose simply to picture Alex Salmond as running away from a certain defeat in choosing not to hold a referendum now.
This was phenomenally stupid on two counts:
- There was never any possibility that Mr Salmond would go for an earlier referendum date than the settled choice of Autumn of 2014 that he had made known some time ago.
- Saying that the First Minister was afraid of defeat because he chose not to go to the polls now was a hostage to fortune in unthinkingly inferring that a later date might be successful.
The level of political debate in Scotland really is through the floor.
The Scottish Independence Referendum Bill
This was introduced to the Parliament and published today, confirming that voters will be asked the question 'Should Scotland be an independent country?'.
The legislation provides that the referendum will be:
- preceded by a 16-week formal campaign period, during which limits will apply to the amount of money any registered participant may spend on campaigning, aimed at ensuring a level playing field for both sides of the debate;
- overseen by the independent Electoral Commission, responsible for regulating the campaign rules, informing the public about the referendum and reporting to the Scottish Parliament on the conduct and administration of the referendum;
- conducted under the direction of a Chief Counting Officer responsible for appointing local Counting Officers to run the poll in local areas.
Local political responses
Stuart McMillan, SNP MSP for West Scotland was simply delighted and was photographed – left – with a copy of the Scottish Independence Referendum Bill.
He said: 'I wholeheartedly welcome the news that the Scottish Independence Referendum will take place on Thursday 18th September 2014.
'The announcement of the date for the Scottish Independence Referendum is an historic occasion for the people of Scotland. An independent Scotland will allow the country to become a normal independent nation and ensures that Scotland takes responsibility for its own decisions.
'Scotland now has the opportunity to create a fairer, more prosperous society for the future of our children and the ability to use the full economic and fiscal powers to create growth and increase employment opportunities for our country.
'I look forward to campaigning in the independence debate and engaging with members of the public.'
Jamie McGrigor, Highlands & Islands Conservative MSP, has urged the SNP to provide detailed answers on what taxation, pensions and defence would be like in an independent Scotland. Jamie spoke out after the First Minister confirmed the date of the independence referendum as the 18th of September, 2014.
Jamie McGrigor said: 'Now that we have the date of the referendum confirmed, it is incumbent on the SNP to set out for voters exactly what they are proposing if Scotland were to become independent.
'Many of the constituents I speak to have specific concerns about what independence would mean for tax levels here, pensions and the defence of a separate Scotland.
'In terms of defence the SNP's policy seems confused at the very least as they say they want to push the trident submarines south of the border, yet at the same time they want to remain part of NATO which is a pro-nuclear alliance. Trident supports more than 6,500 jobs at Faslane and this will rise to more than 8,000 jobs when the submarine fleet relocates to HMNB Clyde. What would the SNP do to prevent the potential economic devastation of the Faslane, Helensburgh and Clyde area?
'The SNP say that Scotland will save £163 million a year if it gets rid of Trident but different SNP spokesmen have spent that money many times over on, for example, shovel-ready projects, job creation, health, education and welfare. And they themselves admit the cost alone of setting up and running a new Scottish tax system would be almost double any anticipated saving from removing Trident.
'I am joined with the majority in supporting the Better Together campaign to continue to make the positive case for Scotland remaining as a valued partner in our United Kingdom and we will be challenging the SNP to provide detail on their plans for a Scotland which they want to separate from the Union.'
Michael Russell, SNP MSP for Argyll and Bute, said: 'Today will mark the real start of the campaign. The Referendum Bill sets out exactly how the process will work, the spending limits and the date, 18th September 2014. We can now concentrate fully on the substance of the debate, on how Scotland can become a fairer, more prosperous and more socially just society. I welcome that, it is no secret that I will be campaigning for a yes vote and I am looking forward immensely to bringing our compelling argument to every part of the constituency.'

The reclusive leader of Somalia's Al Shabaab Islamist faction has spoken via a taped recording where he urged fighters to continue the 'jihad,' as at least 7 people were killed in renewed clashes in the capital Mogadishu Wednesday, Radio Garowe reports.
Al Shabaab leader Sheikh Muktar Abdirahman "Godane" issued an 11-minute audio recording to Somali media, where spoke specifically about the new fighting in Mogadishu and threatened the interim government led by President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, formerly leader of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU).
"The so-called government cannot be described as an Islamic government, because it was created to destroy Islamists in Somalia," Godane said.
He criticized the government by suggesting that its "top leaders" include warlords from the U.S.-backed anti-terror alliance that lost control of Mogadishu in June 2006 after a four-month war with the ICU fighters, including Al Shabaab at that time.
"The so-called President [Sheikh Sharif] flew to Addis Ababa [capital of Ethiopia] immediately after he was elected to ask for advice and troops to fight against what he calls 'extremists' in Somalia," Godane claimed.
He called on the Somali public to support the Mujahideen who are fighting against the "failed government" while warning the media to "report the truth."
"I tell the media to report the facts and the truth and to play their role in the jihad...if the journalist cannot tell the truth, he should be silent and not confuse the public," Godane warned.
It was the first public message from the Al Shabaab leader since the group's renowned father-figure, Sheikh Aden Hashi Ayro, was killed in a U.S. military strike in May 2008.
The U.S. government considers Al Shabaab to be a terrorist organization with ties to Al Qaeda.
More deaths
Meanwhile, fighting continued for the seventh straight day in Mogadishu as Islamist rebels, led by Al Shabaab and Hizbul Islam factions, fought against government forces.
Witnesses said government forces attacked rebel positions near Sinay intersection, but the government forces were pushed back and lost control of Suk Ba'ad, Mogadishu's second-largest marketplace.
At least seven people were killed during the clashes, where the two sides used weapons including machineguns and mortar fire. More than 20 others were wounded and rushed to Mogadishu hospitals, said Ali Muse, who heads a private ambulance service in the war-torn capital.
This fresh round of fighting that erupted in Mogadishu that erupted on May 7 has killed at least 120 people and wounded upwards of 350 people, including many civilians.
New AMISOM base
African Union peacekeepers (AMISOM) in Mogadishu have established a new military base in the southern quarters of the capital, military sources said.
AMISOM peacekeepers and military equipment were seen moving from the known bases in the northern part of Mogadishu to a new base at the former headquarters of Somalia's prison guards.
That facility was a major base for Ethiopian troops during Addis Ababa's two-year military intervention in south-central Somalia that ended in January.
It is not clear why AMISOM peacekeepers established the new base, but a military source said Burundian soldiers had moved to the new base to protect a key supply route.
The ex-headquarters of prison guards' facility was under the control of pro-government Islamist fighters and the AMISOM peacekeepers were accompanied by Somali police officers as they moved.
Somalia's new government faces an Islamist rebellion as it tries to restore national order in the Horn of Africa country torn apart by 19 years of war.

More women than ever before in American history took oaths of office as members of the 113th Congress on Jan. 3. For the first time, a party—the Democratic Party—has more female and minority legislators than white male legislators.
"Incoming Senate members Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) are the first women elected to the Senate from their states," according to C-Span. Sen. Hirono is the first Asian-American woman in the Senate, and the first person born in Japan to be elected to the Senate.
Re-elected House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Congress took an oath to protect the Constitution and to protect the American people at the opening of the 113th Congress, which C-Span broadcast live.
Pelosi evoked the child victims of a December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, and she asked legislators to take action to prevent future gun violence.
She praised "proud son of Ohio" House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and called for cooperation, referencing President Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, optimistic that we may be touched "by the better angels of our nature."
The re-elected Boehner welcomed the 84 freshman members, who he said may be awestruck upon entering the historic halls, and he said that the veteran members should try to recapture their sense of awe.
"We recognize the blessing we have in governing ourselves and recognize that it requires us to give of ourselves," he said, adding that the oath makes no mention of party. "We are here not to be something, but to do something, or as I like to call it, doing the right thing."
As Speaker, I pledge to listen.
—House Speaker John Boehner
He asked his colleagues to resolve the federal deficit and other economic problems. Both Pelosi and Boehner brought up issues on which their parties disagree: gun control and how to reduce the national debt.
"As Speaker, I pledge to listen," said Boehner.
House Republicans also re-elected Eric Cantor (R-Va.) as Majority Leader and Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as Majority Whip.
Democrats reelected James Clyburn (D-S.C.) as Minority Leader and Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) as Minority Whip.
The House of Representatives now has 233 Republicans and 200 Democrats, with two seats waiting for special elections. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) left his seat due to health problems, and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was appointed to replace Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who retired.
The Senate now has 45 Republicans, 53 Democrats, and 2 Independents, who caucus with the Democrats. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) returned to work one year after a debilitating stroke, which left him partially paralyzed. He followed an intense rehabilitation regimen to regain the ability to walk and work.
Kirk told the Chicago Sun-Times that the experience changed his thinking about Medicaid, which pays for health care for poor people.
"Had I been limited to that, I would have had no chance to recover like I did," he said. "So unlike before suffering the stroke, I'm much more focused on Medicaid and what my fellow citizens face."
Vice President Joe Biden swore in the new senators. The Senate elected Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) as President Pro Tempore, Harry Reid (D-Nev.) as Majority Leader, and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as Minority Leader.

My Laundry Question
I have a blue and white hollister striped shirt and a orange and white striped shirt. I accidentally washed a red shirt with it and it turned the white stripes light pink. How do I remove the pink from the white stripes?
Share a Little Background Info
Washed with a red shirt with a orange and white and a blue and white striped shirt. I dried them and the white stripes came out pink. What can I do to get rid of the stain? The shirts are brand new and really need help getting rid of the stain. I was wondering of oxyclean would work and my mom told me not to use bleach.
Lessons Learned
- To not wash anything with white with any reds
Fabric Content of Item (if appropriate)
Mary Marlowe Leverette, About.com Laundry & Laundry Rooms, says:
I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson the hard way. But there is hope! You were on the right track. You can use OxiClean or any oxygen-based bleach to remove the red dye stains. Mix a solution of OxiClean and warm water following the package directions. You can use the sink, washer tub or a large plastic container. Submerge your shirts and allow them to soak for 24 hours. Check the shirts after 24 hours and if the white stripes are no longer pink, wash as usual. If they are still pink, repeat the process with a clean solution for another 24 hours. The pink should disappear!

Flash Gordon vs. baby killing
After quite the break, Flash Gordon returns and manages to bring a little plot-advancement thunder with him. When we last left our favorite Rift-Trippers, Flash, Baylin, Zarkov and Dale followed Joe to Mongo after he stole a Blaster to get photographic evidence of its existance in hopes to get reinstated at work. While there, Dale got body-jacked by an evil sorceress and Joe lost the Rift Blaster. Oh...and Ming the Mercilessly Dull's new science chick implanted his brain with some tiny but sinister device. Joe is the worst cop ever.
Spoilers below.
As Ming the Opposite of Flavor passes out punishments and judgements upon his downtrodden people, Zarkov, Flash and Baylin return to Mongo to retrieve the Blaster Joe the Moron left behind. Ming the Humdrum sentences a baby with a 1% trace of Deviate in his DNA to death despite no outward signs of malformities as the mother pleads for the tyke's life. Her pleading naturally is to no avail, Ming stating that he must follow "The Code." After the mother is dragged out and the baby taken away, Ming the Mercilessly Lame tells Rankol to kill the parents too, just in case.
Shortly after, Flash and the crew arrive on Mongo and pop up in the middle of Nacent City near the Marketplace. Suddenly, a man carrying a baby comes streaking through being chased by Cobra Troopers, I mean Patriot Soldiers. The Man ducks around the same corner as our protagonists and shoves the baby into Flash's arms, much to his dismay - and to Baylin's as she notes it is marked for death. But too late because homie dude has already taken off again, whistling so the guards follow. They do. And they kill him. When they fan out to find the baby, it starts to cry and leads some troopers right to Flash and Co. Using Zarkov as a distration only worked for so long, but Flash and Baylin knock out the two guards and escape into the closed Tea House thanks to the Owner. After Baylin explains the situation, he says he's going to go get someone who can help and returns...with the genticist who identifies Deviates in the populace. She's actually a Deviate sympathizer and is working on the inside, saving as many people as she can but doing what she must. Not entirely trusting her, Flash says he will escort her and the baby to their settlement while Baylin and Zarkov complete their actual mission.
Their search leads to Rankol's lab. They recover the Rift Blaster but, unfortunatly, they are captured before they can escape and sent to the dungeons. Rankol informs Ming the Blandly Evil that Baylin has been captured, and alludes to Zarkov but doesn't mention him by name, and Ming predictably orders their execution to brighten his day. Meanwhile, Flash and the geneticist arrives at the settlement. Initially greeted with hosility, Flash is a little nervous until Terek, the Deviates leader, tells everyone not to be rude. He greets the geneticist and Flash introduces himself before handing over the baby. After some speechifying. Flash tells Terek that he agrees that the Deviates shouldn't be treated so poorly and offers to help their case by setting up a meeting with Aura. Cut to Aura wrapping up a PSA with 2 kids about protecting children from contaimination. Once finished, she snarls at the boy-child to get off her foot and walks away from them. Enter Flash, disguised as a cook, with a tray of snacky cakes to distract the children and the director. He tells Aura that someone would like to meet with her and, after a while, agrees as she no longer wants to be near the children. Too bad the meeting was really a trap as a few Deviate soliders ambush them in the tunnels, knocking them out with some sort of gas.
Flash, understanbely, is cheesed off about this. Especially when Terek reveals his true plan back at the settlement. He's going to send his demands and if they aren't honored, Aura will die. Seperated, Terek goes to talk to Aura to help her understand the situation and recognizes that she is just as angry at Ming as they are. He appeals to her sense of revenge to convince her to help him, flirting a bit along the way. When Ming the Mundane receives the ransom hologram, he doesn't even finish listening to it, much to Rankol's surprise. He will not negotiate with terrorists and will let Aura die so as not to appear weak.
But Ming is only 99.3% heartless, so he visits Baylin in her cell and says she will be set free and Zarkov will not be killed if she can return Aura to the palace safely. She takes the deal and sneaks her way into the settlement as Flash, tied up in a separate room, bellows to Aura repeatedly to see if she's okay. And she is. She's sharing a meal with Terek...and they're flirting has become mutual and more overt. He tells her his demands - official canton status. There's an old lady in the room with them, pouring drinks and giving Aura the eye. Aura is not at all appreciative of this and asks who she is and why she keeps staring. Her name is Ludi (not to be confused with Ludo, cuddly powerhouse from Labyrinth) and Terek explains that she is a little protective since she was like a mother to him, caring for him when he was cast out. Ludi proceeds to try and get Terek to leave or bring Flash into the room, but both are fine with being alone together.
Ludi quickly visits Flash and asks him for help, telling him that Aura and Terek may be falling for each other and it mustn't be. Flash is dismissive but Ludi insists as there are secrets even Terek doesn't know. Back in the room, Aura and Terek talk more and relate and are about to kiss...when Flash bursts in telling them to stop. Have you guessed why yet? Well, if you guessed it's because they're brother and sister then you guessed right.
Terek calls in the guards and Baylin pops up in the room like magic and helps Flash dispatch of the guards, stunning Terek unconscious as they escape. On the walk back to the palace, Aura is still having trouble accepting the whole sibling thing. Flash explains that Ludi was there when they were born and when, after seeing Terek's deformity, Ming the Oddly Bland Murderer of Babies ordered him purged. Not being able to go through with it, Ludi fled with Terek and raised him.
Returning to the palace, Aura speaks with Ming and apologizes for putting him in such an awkward position. The Mundane One is taken aback by how well she's taking this...until Aura's tone turns a bit as she somewhat sarcasticly says she can't imagine how hard it would be for a parent to live with the thought of sacrificing their own flesh and blood. Ming says he's made both political and personal sacrifices and doesn't expect her to understand. But Aura says she does, that she understands him better than ever before walking out.
She goes to the prison cells and releases Zarkov, giving him back one of the modified Rift Blasters and stating that he'll owe her one. He finds Flash and Baylin around the corner and they leave. Shortly afterward, outside the palace walls, Aura meets up with Terek. She brings her memory stone to prove they are realated and sure enough, it glows. She assures him that she's doing everything she can to help them and has already begun to campaign for the Deviates. No sooner said, a fleet of ships pass by overhead towards the settlement. Terek takes off towards home leaving Aura with one statement, "The only thing that can change Ming is death." As the ships bomb the settlement we're left with what's supposed to be an ominous shot of Ming the Mild.
Other Highlights & Tidbits:
- Meeting with Rankol and The Science Wench Who's Name I Still Don't Know, Ming's trying to figure out how Flash is able to keep coming to Mongo without Rankol generating the rifts. The Science Wench suggests they activate Joe's implant to find out. The implant has essentially turned Joe into a sleeper agent, carrying out orders without any knowledge of doing so. Science Wench comes to Earth and activates the chip as Dale and Joe are about to kiss. Stating he needs to go for a walk and get some fresh air, Joe ends up meeting up with SW in a park. Initially angry and confused, SW uses the control to up his seratonine levels to make him more pliable. Joe doesn't really give her any useful info so Rankol directs her to search Zarkov's lab for the Imex (which he's deduced they have based on the modified Rift Blaster). That way he can finish his work and SW can gain favor with Ming the Mundane without sabatoging his experiments. Joe helps SW toss the lab and they find the Imex, SW delivering it the Rankol. Which is the opposite of being good.
- The brother revelation was pretty good. At first I thought that Ludi was going to end up being her mother but that would've been entirely too easy. My sister brought up an interesting point - if this prophecy is all about a son who will overthrow Ming, couldn't this prophecy actually be about Terek? It's all too vague at this point, but it's a very interesting possibility.
- Speaking of Terek, kudos to Craig Stanghetta for his portrayal. He hasn't been in much before this, but he should get a lot of work after. He brought a fire, a charisma to the character that was much appreciated. A little over the top sometimes? Maybe. But that just means he gets it.
- Big-ups to the brief yet entertaining PSA scene. Hilarious. But not as funny as Zarkov acting like a baby to cover for the actual baby crying.
- So the big question is who gets to off Detective Dunce aka Joe? Flash or Dale is my current thought but, because he's the biggest obstacle to them being together, he'll probably survive. Boo.
Quotes of the Night:
- "Oh, no...they will. Everyone likes Flash." Zarkov to the geneticist after she said the Deviates wouldn't like Flash
- "You're a good man, Flash Gordon. You may save every one of us." - Terek after Flash says he can get them a meeting with Aura
Next Week: Ming steals Earth's water, Flash and the crew find out Joe's a sleeper agent, and I'm pretty much hoping they kill him off. Because he's stupid and deserves it.

News From 91.3 KUWS
Shy wildlife to get their pictures taken on remote Wisconsin island
UW-Madison and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore will take snap shots of otherwise elusive predator mammals later this summer. Mike Simonson reports.
It isn't easy getting a bobcat or weasel to mug for a picture. So there'll be at least 30 "critter cams" put up later this summer on Stockton Island, an island known for one of the densest bear populations in the National Park System. But Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Superintendent Bob Krumanaker says it's the other animals they're after. So they'll put up the cameras on wildlife trails.
"Animals use trails just like people do. Looking at predators, coyotes, fishers, and bobcat and weasels, we almost never see them but we know they're out there so we'll learn a little bit more about populations and habits."
UW-Madison Wildlife Professor Tim Van Deelen says their first move will be to find these hidden trails on Stockton.
"Big animals are as lazy as humans. We prefer to walk where we have more of a clear trail where the topography is favorable. So over time, game trails develop. Deer use them, bears use them, coyotes use them. Oddly enough, those become human trails."
This two year, $17,000 project will be a model for "Snap Shot Wisconsin".
"It's worth doing for me because the state of Wisconsin is looking at similar techniques on the mainland. So we can make this sort of a test of concept for generating data for what would be a larger effort with the Department of Natural Resources throughout Wisconsin."
Van Deelen says the motion activated cameras will also probably capture a few mammals of the two legged kind tromping through the woods.Previous KUWS Articles:

Comic-Con Quickies for Guilty Gear's A.B.A.
Comic-Con isn't just superheroes, but about passionate fans of all kinds.
Anime plays a big part in the cosplay at the convention, and the more challenging and obscure the better.
Probably not many Zap2it readers are familiar with this girl's costume. We can't imagine she attended the convention to do anything except be seen. Could you see her dragging along that giant key on the crowded exhibition floor?
The character is A.B.A., an artificial life form who's partial to keys. Her giant key is actually an ancient relic that she's named Paracelsus. You can read more about A.B.A. at the Guilty Gear wiki.
A.B.A takes time out for our questions. More Quickies: "True Blood's" Charlaine Harris, Chik-fil-A cow.

Andersonville Dead from Norwich, Connecticut
In 1866, Norwich residents retrieved some of the bodies of their Andersonville dead and brought them home for burial with honors in Yantic Cemetery. They included Edward Tisdale, Sylvanus Downer, George Ward, and Joseph Winship, all members of the Eighteenth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, Company C. But a mystery surrounds these soldiers. Who were these men and boys and what did they experience in that rebel prison? Did all of these men actually die at Andersonville? Could some of them be found living in Connecticut decades later?

Note: I wrote this article back in 2012 but only just found it in my draft post of my WP blog so I figured I should publish it anyway…. Opps!
November and December are some of the most important sales months on the calendar, they are also the two main months where the Shopify Build a Business competition is either won or lost. For this reason it's important that you get it right!
Based on our experience last year on www.openacase.com we'd like to give other online retailers and Shopify Build a Business competitors our top five recommendations for selling during the "Silly Season".
If your product makes for a great gift anticipate that sales are going to at least double and have more stock than you need. The worst thing that can happen is that you run out of stock during this period so plan for success and be ready to sell more than ever before.
Spread the word that your products makes a great gift, don't presume that your potential customer will make the connection. You have to tell them! This is true because often when potential gift buying customers see your advert or product they may not be personally interested, but once you remind them that have others to buy for they will see your products as a solution to their problem.
Keep in mind that the majority of products purchased during this period will be gifts so a change in marketing strategies may be necessary.
For example we know the Opena® Case customer demographic is male, between 20-35 years, owns an iPhone and drinks beer, but this isn't who we marketed to during this time of year. We ran a campaign marketing towards females between 20-50 years old in a relationship. We also changed our visuals to be more appealing to this market so we ditched the attractive girl in a bikini with a beer and opted for an attractive girl in a Santa hat with a Coke®. So remember that during this gift buying time of year your customer is often not the enduser.
Make sure that you can deliver on time!! As the majority of the stock sold during the November and December period are gifts it's more important than ever to be able to get your products to the customer as fast as possible. You need to work out the last day before Christmas that different countries can order and expect the goods to arrive before the 25th December.
For example all of Annex Products® goods ship out of HK, UK, USA, and Australia so within these countries we are able to deliver express all orders placed before the 21st where orders placed from South America and Europe need to be placed before 12th to be confident that they will arrive.
Don't think that this information will scare off your customers and loose sales, because it will actually give them confidence to order and if you don't communicate it clearly you won't spend half of December responding to customer inquires on the matter.
Target your PR. Last Christmas the Opena Case was featured in a number of both online and printed gift buying guides which all converted very well. Everybody has that person that's impossible to buy for and these list are the best way of getting your products, price and where to buy information in front of that potential customer from a source that they trust.
Lately I have been reminded of the importance of quiet time, I'm not the quietest type so I find I have to make an effort to get some quiet time other than sleeping. I really think your subconscious is a smarter than your conscious by a decent multiplier, not sure what it is, but it's defiantly smarter. I think your subconscious is especial great at taking in multiple complex factor processing them and delivering the best solution. I always find that my subconscious makes the best decisions and have to remind myself to use it and more importantly give it time to work.
I believe this is the reason we always return from holidays or long weekends where we really take some time off with a few good ideas and/or better ways of doing things. I think my brain capacity (granted it's pretty limited) spends most of it's processing power in the present and that it needs to be released from the present to really operate at a higher subconscious level.
So things I've been doing lately to help include driving with the radio off, walking with nowhere to go and fishing by myself. I have also tried to use my daily tram ride to do nothing (not play with my iPhone) but this has lead me to believe that 15 minutes isn't long enough. I think 30 mins is a minimum to get things working on a subconscious level and the longer you stay there the better it gets.
Music: Human Era – Horrorshow
My first blog was started back in 2011 with my Co Founder of Annex Products Chris Peters. The blog was a place to throw all the useful information that we could find on the fast growing entry level and open source 3D Printer industry. A year later and a few machine reviews in we found ourselves with 3D Printers Australia the number one site for all things 3D Printer related in Australia. We made a few phone calls and filled all the advertising spaces within a day, many of which still advertise today!
We then had this great audience and ended up even selling a few entry level machines, which turned into a full time gig and a spin of business Rapid 3D. Rapid 3D has now sold to almost all the Universities and many high Schools and Design firms throughout Australia including Melbourne Uni, Swinburne, RMIT, QUT Canberra and many more…
So I guess it shows just being involved in something that you find interesting and accepting opportunity when it presents itself works, and that not every business needs to be a well defined plan with a set course.
So I've told a few people about this over the last few months and most people didn't know so I think it's worth a post.
I've been using Facebook ads for a couple of years now and the truth is that the majority of our customers have been acquired from the social network. However using Facebook properly is almost a full-time job as it's in a constant state of flux.
I think managing Facebook ads is like Fly Fishing your favourite river, you know what you're doing and you've been there before but every time you return it's a little bit different, there's a new snag been pushed down stream, the rivers running higher/faster or the fish have seen all your flys and their not interested.
So imagine if every Trout you caught while fishing was let go in a small pool off to the side of the main river. After a few fishing trips you'd be able to catch a Trout on demand from the pool as you'd know exactly where they are and what made them bite the first time. You wouldn't have to wade miles upstream and spend all your energy trying to find a single Trout in a torrent of water.
Well you can do this with Facebook ads Custom Audiences and I'm not talking about retargeting, well its sort of retargeting but different. (if you don't know anything about FB ads go have a play then use this technique).
Firstly you'll have to be using Google Chrome as the browser and you'll have to open up you Facebook Ads Manager and the click on Power Editor from here you can quickly make and manage your ads. If it's the first time you've used the Power Editor you'll have to download all of your data by clicking Download to Power Editor. From here you can then click on Audiences > Custom Audiences and then upload your complete customer list. Facebook then matches their email address with the Facebook Database of users and reports back on the matches. You now have a custom Audieance that you can target with laser focused ads just like the Trout in the side pool.
The coolest thing about this style of advertising is that it's very passive and not as intrusive as email adverting so some may choose to include their entire list not just their opt ins.
Through this techniques we've very successfully sold up sell products to our existing customer with the lowest Cost Per Acquisition of any marketing we've ever used.
So go catch a fish for the second time as it only gets easier!
I've been riding my Evolve Electric Skateboard for almost a month now and I have to say it's fricking awesome! The build quality, battery life and the way it rides are all just awesome. Not being from a longboarding background I really didn't have any idea just how great longboards in general rode in comparison to a skateboard. The Evolve board effortlessly roles over stones, sticks and pavement expansion gaps that would send you flying on a skateboard. The other thing I didn't realise is how the Evolve board would be more similar to Snowboarding or Wake Surfing! The twin kingpin Super Carve trucks have an awesome feel and the Abec 11 Flywheels grip like crazy!
CP and I riding the Evolve Board and YikeBike to a StartUp event in Melbourne (3rd ride)
When I first started ridding the Evolve board I thought I was carving pretty hard… turns out I wasn't. Now I'm carving 10 times harder and the thing just holds on. The flex, the carve and the grip all work so well together and feel super natural and it doesn't take long to get super confident rising this thing. The other thing I didn't realise is that even though it's a long board it can still turn super tight.
I haven't even got to the part where the board is electric and that's interesting because although it's cool the way the board feels and performs was what impressed me at first.
I remember playing on a whipper snipper (weed whacker) petrol powered skateboard and it was pretty much unridable when I was younger. The Evolve board is nothing like it as it's super easy to ride, it has plenty of power, but it comes on super smooth and the ABS breaks work well. The break come on just enough to slow you down to a comfortable bail speed without the risk of sending you over the front of the board.
The first weekend I had the Evolve I rode around Melbourne for about to 2 hours and my legs were stuffed but the battery was still going strong and I couldn't believe it. As seen in the video below I have since been riding about 9K's to work charging there and then riding home without an issue. Buy 2 charges!
Commuting to work on the Evolve Board 90 (4th ride)
Things I like about the Evolve Board
- Great Design
- Awesome Feel – you end up never riding in a straight line.
- Great Speed – you really can get places quick.
- Awesome support!
- Battery life
- Easy to ride
- Surprisingly good uphills
- Weight – only 8. something KGs
Things I'd like to see improve
- Bit smaller controller
- Ability to adjust the breaks. After riding for a while you could crank up the breaks a little.
- Can't think of anything else?
My Evolve Electric Skateboard on charge
I think the pricing of the Evolve board at $1000-1099AUD is about right, but a few people have said to me that they think it's expensive. To these people I say "you'd buy a snowboard for $1000 and ride it twice a year while paying $120 a day for a lift pass and not think twice ?" The Evolve board is so much more than just a skateboard as it's a reliable valid mode of transport, it's eco friendly, get's you home from the pub, it's easy to jump on and off public transport with and super fin to ride. I'd say in the month I've had my Evolve board I would have spent more time riding it than snowboarding/wake surfing in the last 2-3 years.
Overall the products is awesome, the support is great, the shipping was quick and I'd definitely recommend the Evolve board for anyone looking for an electric skateboard or alternative form of transportation.
Our First Android Product!
So after many customer requests and a few months of development we (Annex Products) have come up with our first non iPhone product. We have decided to make our first product for the Android market in our Quad Lock range and what better place to start than with Samsung's flagship smartphone the Galaxy S4.
Chris started on the design back in May when we first got our hands on a Galaxy S4 and started by printing a few prototypes on our Cube 3D Printer as seen in orange on the left.
After a few iteration and a few commercial prints later we were happy with the overall design and have since moved into tooling first for the case and now the Poncho water resistant cover.
Lately we have been using Shapeways for 3D Printing of a number of prototypes our prototypes including these new flexible SLA 3D prints. From these prints above we were able to test the Samsung Galaxy S4 case on our bikes and we are very happy with the products performance. See pics below of the SLA 3D Printed prototype Galaxy S4 case installed on my bike for testing.
We now have the case very close to full production and soon thousands of Android users the world over will be using the Quad Lock to attach their Galaxy S4 case to their bike and car.
Comparison between the SLA prototype and pre production Quad Lock Galaxy S4 case.
After launching the Opena in 2011 it still amazes me the amount of media attention this product has captured. This Fathers Day after a joint PR venture with Apple Canada the Opena appeared on a number of notable TV and media publications such as The Rush and Global News Tech Talk. This has made me realise that although it's not new to me it's still new to others and still news worthy!
DISCLAIMER – I'm part of the team from Annex Products that made this product
We spent a couple of days a week back putting together a new video for our latest product offering the Quad Lock Bike Mount Kit for iPhone5. I have been using the pre production product for over a month and I think this kit is one of the best and most complete products we have made to date. I love that it's the complete package and absolutely everything you need to mount your iPhone 5 to you bike is covered in this kit.
Quad lock iPhone5 Bike Mount Kit –
- Poncho weather resistant cover. Simply slip the clear cover over your mounted iPhone and you phone will be protected from rain, sweat, mud and dust while still offering access to all the buttons and touch screen while riding.
- Bike Mount Pro which can be attached to you bike using the supplied UV stable rubber O-rings (large and small provided) or more secure zip ties.
- iPhone5 case with composite construction of tough TPU and strong Polycarbonate. This case provides great protection both on and off the bike. I think users will love this case as a slim protective everyday case
Another good site with plenty of iPhone bike mount information is www.iphonebikemount.net
Went on a ride with the Just Ride It team on Wednesday night, which ended up being half bike ride and half pub crawl. Was a lot of fun and I'm sure there will be a few more fixie and single speed only rides to come in the new year.
While riding from the Just Ride It store in Fitzroy to St kilda we all started shooting footage on our iPhones and Dylan Perry was good enough to do a quick cut for us all to enjoy. Some of the footage was shot by hand and some was shot GoPro style using our iPhone Bike mount the Quad Lock. I have started a new website For more info on iPhone Bike mounts.
I get asked a lot what are the best iPhone photo Apps I use to edit my Instagram shots, so I thought I'd put together a list of the top 10 best iPhone photo Apps that that I use all the time. I find most people that ask me this question expect a simple single App answer, but thats just not the case. I often use two, three or even four different Apps depending on the shot and effects I want to achieve. As soon as I start describing this process I see most people eyes glaze over and they start thinking this is going to be way too hard and too complicate, but this couldn't be further from the truth.
The fact of the matter is that this isn't the case at all as most Apps are good at doing just a couple of things; either cropping for Instagram, adjusting colours or stitching together a series of pics to make a panorama just to name a few. So once you understand what each App does and how to use, it it's actually quiet quick and easy to obtain the desired photo effect for your next Instagram master piece.
My Top 10 iPhone Photo Apps
Listed below are my top 10 Photo apps that I use to edit my pictures before posting to Instagram, in no particular order. As mentioned I often use a number of Apps in conjunction.
Camera+ is a great all round iPhone photo App and is one of the best selling of all time. Camera+ is a great place to start as a beginner in mobile photography as it does a good job of everything. It's a good Camera replacement app (although I never use it myself ) and its really fast and easy to edit your pictures with some awesome effects. To get started a few nice combination effects that will impress all your friends are set Scenes to Clarity and FX Effect to Vibrant, then adjust the vibrancy using the slider to get your desired effect.
The picture below was edited with Camera+ using Clarity and So Emo combination.

YOU probably aren't much smarter than a chimp when it comes to cooperative games - you just know the rules.
Games are often used to test primates' ability to reason about cooperation. In one game two players independently choose one of two tokens: one that always yields a small reward, or one that gives a big reward only if both players choose it.
Humans quickly settle into the second strategy to maximise the reward, but other primates prove less able. Is this down to better reasoning, or merely because humans have had the rules explained to them?
Sarah Brosnan, at Georgia State University in Atlanta, and colleagues replayed the game with humans, chimps and capuchin monkeys, but made all participants learn the rules by trial and error.
Humans still performed the best, but not nearly as well as in previous tests. They also fared only slightly better than ...

Grey retains Pringles business after Kellogg's pitch
By Louise Ridley, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 08 March 2013 10:36AM
Grey Group has retained its position as the global lead agency for Pringles following a pitch prompted by the brand's sale to Kellogg's last June.
Kellogg's bought Pringles from Procter & Gamble for $2.7bn (£1.7bn) last year and initiated an ad review in December 2012, as it has a long-standing relationship with Publicis Groupe's Leo Burnett.
Grey, which has worked with Pringles through P&G for 16 years, pitched against Leo Burnett's Chicago office and won what Grey executives viewed as an "uphill fight".
However, the WPP agency kept the business and now has a place on the Kellogg's roster alongside Leo Burnett.
A team from Grey London and Grey's New York office worked on the pitch, which the Grey Group global chief executive, Jim Heekin, believed it was unlikely to win.
In an internal memo to staff, Heekin said: "We knew our chances of keeping it were slim to none. Kellogg's was clear that it was easier for them to put the business with their primary partner, Leo Burnett. Particularly because they are committed to a one-agency model.
"Yet, our new team in [New York] took on this uphill fight with everything they had and simply bucked all the odds. The team developed a brilliant campaign and won Kellogg's trust. In the end, our new client said it was a unanimous decision for Grey."
Pringles consolidated its £35m EMEA media into Kellogg's agency Carat in October 2012.

Bob Goggin – In Memoriam
Bob Goggin was an active volunteer for the American Lung Association in California for over two decades. A journalist and public relations professional by trade, Bob lent his expertise and in-depth knowledge of air quality issues to the organization by advocating for healthy lungs and clean air.
He started volunteering for the Lung Association in 1990 as a member of the American Lung Association in California – San Diego's Occupational and Environmental Health Committee. He then served on the San Diego Leadership Board from 2001 until 2013. Bob also was an active participant at Lung Association events such as the Fight For Air Walk and Evening in the Sky gala, raising funds for the mission and helping to spread the word throughout San Diego.
Bob graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Portland, and received his Master's Degree in Communications and Journalism from Stanford University. He spent nine years with NBC News as a radio and television reporter, and covered the John F. Kennedy presidential campaign in 1960 as well as both the Republican and Democratic Conventions in 1964 and 1968. He also interviewed personalities ranging from former presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon to celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Vivien Leigh, Fred Astaire, and Lucille Ball among others.
Bob switched to public relations in 1967 and formed his own agency in 1970. He also taught journalism at San Diego State University and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo during the 1970s and 1980s. He then worked as Manager of Public Information for the Air Pollution Control District in San Diego and retired from that position in 1997.
Bob passed away on May 9, 2013. The American Lung Association in California lost a good friend and a strong advocate, and he will be missed tremendously. To honor Bob's work and legacy, his family requested memorials to be sent to the Lung Association's Bob Goggin Memorial Fund.

Dancing With The Stars
Injury Update: DWTS Pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy in "A Lot of Pain," Has Val Help With Rehearsals
Yikes! It sounds like Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy will dance on Monday's Season 14, Week 7 Performance Show, but he does not have happy feet.
Maks updated fans today in his TV Guide blog: "First, I want to get you up to speed on my injury," he wrote. "Yes, I had an MRI on Tuesday on my foot. I have a lot of pain in my joints and ankle area. It's not pleasant and I was hoping that there's something that I could do to get rid of the pain. My doctor, who's one of the best foot specialists in the world, warned me that I might not be able to continue if there's a chance my injury could get worse. Luckily, I got the results back yesterday and he said I could continue, but I have to rest it as much as I can. It was completely not what I thought it was. He said, 'You should continue, but don't use your foot too much.' I'm like, 'It's not Sitting with the Stars!' In all seriousness, I am trying to rest it and take it day by day because I don't want it to get worse. My doctor understands the profession and he is a little more in depth when it comes to treatment for those who don't have the opportunity to stop what they're doing. Right now, I'm hoping I will feel better by Monday."
Maks said his brother, DWTS pro Val Chmerkovskiy, is going to come into Argentine Tango and team dance rehearsals with Melissa Gilbert until Maks sees how he feels. "I'm happy I have the green light right now, but I'm a little worried. The range of motion that we do with our feet is so great. It's not just walking, which is painful in and of itself. There's also a machine called a bone simulator that's supposed to expedite the process. I think if the pain doesn't go away by Monday, then I'm gonna get a shot. The problem is, with this type of aggravation in the bone, the shot might make it worse. We'll see how it is."
Maks said we should expect to see and hear more about the injury during Monday's show. "I don't want to milk stuff like this," he added. "If production decides to put in cameras in my MRI office, I can't do anything about that. I think with these types of activities, injuries are normal. It's nothing to highlight. Unfortunately, if I tell producers that I might be able to continue, that's why they have to be present, so the audience can see what's going on."
Read Maks' full blog for more. If for some reason he has to sit out Monday's Classical Week show, he would not be the first pro to take a sick day.
Good luck!

I have anger management issues.
So do these people:
This is the header of daybreakservices.com. Now if I were to take any anger issue classes, it would definitely be with this company b/c I think these three are an excellent selling point. If these photos were flashcards and I was asked, "Kali, with whom do you identify most?", I would say the guy in the middle.
In the last two weeks, I have been told by three very different people that I should attend an Anger Management Class. Is it the ADD? Or is it me? Or is it me in NYC? Or is it
Me+NY+ADD=Anger Management?
There was no fifth grade molestation so I can't blame it on that. My Dad was nothing like Lindsey Lohan's Dad, so I can't blame it on him. For now, I'll blame it on Barack Obama and his issues with NAFTA trade Agreement. Mexico will be angry. The idea of paying double for pickled jalapenos makes me angry. And quite frankly, I really don't like Canada. (Enough with the seal clubbing!)
A friend suggested that I start smoking pot. That should make me less angry. But the fact that I cannot openly buy it makes me angry. So I Googled:
And I was happy to find some great leads. One was a site called Legal Buds. Here's the picture that's on their home page:
I'm interested in the Blueberry but I am more concerned about the woman in the picture.
Are the breasts symbolizing "buds of ecstasy"? Did she mix it with ecstasy? Or is she simply bugging out? Will it act like an aphrodisiac? Or will it affect my nervous system like it has affected hers?
This is where the ADD and difficulty making decisions kicks in:
Do I simply purchase the smoking lamp oil and let it smoke up when the bulbs get hot? Would that be considered "healthy" second hand smoke?
Does the Dream smoke bring about Lucid Dreaming?
And what about the little volcano resembling a space craft? Do you smoke from it and then have hallucinations of abductions? That's too scary.
The Red Bliss look too much like Red Hots. Will I be able to enter a Drug Free School Zone?
And what the hell is a Hotbox? Do I really need a toaster oven for weed?
Since when has smoking marijuana become so complicated? This decision making alone is making me angry.
What ever happened to the good 'ole dime bag?

Got something on your mind? Tell us how we can improve our site.Feedback
Meagan G likes her sports car...I can tell because she moves from stroking it's sexy expensive panelling to stroking her full, sensitive breasts. Her mind wanders over the day's possibilities and she soon decides some alone time is in order...
With her legs spread wide over the steering wheel and her increasingly urgent fingers freeing and cupping her breasts, the fingers on her other hand rub, press and pulsate their way to giving her an explosive, body shuddering, gasping orgasm that surely would have set off the car alarm!
With her red hair flying, Larissa M bangs away on her drums. She's without a doubt the sexiest drummer I've ever seen, in her panty hose, white underwear, and white bra. After the undies and hose come off, you'll get a close-up look between her legs at her pretty pink bits. Larissa slides her fingers up inside herself and brings out a good amount of girlcum stuck to her fingers. Then it's back to the drums for another session.
Tender loving is the name of the game here.
Blaire & Cleo kiss passionately and hold hands. Cleo licks Blaire's pale nipples then Blaire goes for Cleo's dark nipples. They suck on each other's pink bits, then scissor each other in a beautiful act of tribadism.
This Tier 3 girl-girl shoot is a match made in heaven.
As always there are lots of interesting photos in Backstage 223. Jamie-Lee & Melita have a large grouping of nice photos, including one involving a bit of gymnastics. Susie was there that day and it's nice to see her again. Our photographers and videographers can be seen preparing the set, adjusting the light just right, and then shooting the final product. The models and staff have to lug all the heavy camera gear into the buildings, and you're right there to watch.
Wowee! Kara-Lee is a standout in this VERY different solo video for abbywinters.com! She takes videographer Prue on a tour of Melbourne, flashing her perky young boobs and perfect arse- much to the pleased surprise of many a workman!
She's incredibly confident and she's proud of her body! She gets a thrill from showing you sneaky peeks in public, (watch out for heads turning and strangers doing a double take!) before stopping in a little alcove to have a sexy little wank with a vibrator that looks deceptively like a mobile phone!
Send in more cool vibrators and dildos to see a cute model like Kara-Lee have some knee-weakening fun thanks to you!
The girl in blue for today is Nancy - blue sweater, blue undies, and blue bra.
She gets out of her underwear in a flash and lets you see her hairy pussy and medium sized breasts. Close-ups of her privates are no big deal. She lets you get right in there and have a gander, including at the girlcum that she pulls out with her vibrator.
Thanks go to James for his generous contribution to the Dildo Drive.
With a faint tummy rumble at the start, divine red-headed Agnes gets down to the business of self-love! Her freckled forearm traces patterns on her smooth lily white skin, her fingers thumbing at her panty line... She knows what to do...
Some girls are really vigorous, with shuddering, earth quaking orgasms, and some like Agnes, are extremely subtle. Her hand pressed firmly to her pussy, her milky little bum wiggling only ever so slightly...she makes absolutely no noise at all!
She does however, turn a brilliant shade of vermillion and the squelching from her pussy is such a turn on!
Courtney B is a little skater girl spunk! I remember she was extremely nervous but all she needed was a few encouraging nudges for her to strip off and show us her beautiful naked body!
I loved the way she pulled down her boob-tube dress ever so slowly. The way they "plopped" out very satisfyingly showed their fullness and weight.
Courtney is bubbly and has many varied interests so I'm sure you'll find something to love about her! Yummy!
Courtney B is another girl-next-door with creamy pale skin and pretty eyes. She's nicely curvy and soft with breasts that are just the right size.
Courtney is classic girl who will be lusted after by many subscribers.
Why not join our Email Newsletter mailing list and get sample images of the week's models delivered right to your inbox. We absolutely will never share your email address with any third party.
This beautiful, almost 17 minute long video captures perfectly the soulful, sensual manner of Sienna. She's touching her body, caressing it, squeezing and rubbing just for herself, no-one else. She takes her time building her arousal and her need -by bringing herself soo close before pausing, taking off an item of clothing and only then starting to pleasure herself again...it must be torment for her...even harder to watch!
By the time she's completely bare and natural, she's very close to heaven- one hand making vigorous circles on her clit, the other pushing just a finger tip quickly inside herself.
She holds her breath, a sheen of sweat on her brow before an absolute explosion of orgasm arrests her entire body. One of the most powerful orgasms I've ever seen!
Three girls, Cassie, Corelle, and Taysha , give each other a facial (no, not that kind, the beauty kind). The Beauty Girls smear goop on each other's face and manage to get it on their feet and legs too.
As they beautify themselves, they undress and compare boobs and bodies. Lastly comes the nail polish and ta-da, now they're even more beautiful.
Sitting side-by-side, these two cuties Kiona & Lou-Ellyn instantly start rubbing themselves. Their fingers go back and forth over the aroused nub of their clits with ever increasing fervour- even before getting undressed!
I love how in sync they are- they seem to be unaware of each other because their eyes are closed but they take off their knickers at practically the same time, then a second later they both suck their fingers before ... well, you know... and it's all 100% real!
Make sure you indulge in some more sweetness from these two girls, Kiona's solo masturbation spied through a keyhole, or Lou-Ellyn's double trouble with sex pot Kiki!
A Rooftop + a chilly winter morning and the incredibly sexy Carly T = goosebumps on your hard-on!
Carly twists and shivers, shucking her clothes in favour of naked freedom. Her athletic, toned body is so svelte her muscles ripple with every shimmy. She has the most divine breasts, small but weighty. Pink, soft nipples that harden as she rubs them against the rough wool of her coat. And a delicious way of moving her body that is ...just...so...tantalizing....
Hope you enjoy her little "rooftop rendezvous" as much I did!
Super spunky Ren's first time naked in front of a camera shows off her bright, bubbly personality. She names her slender collarbone as her most prized body part, but I happen to think her full, weighty breasts are mighty fine!
She's got a fantastic sense of humour, and her cheeky wit will surely make you smile!
I enjoy some erotic literature as much as the next girl, and Fae's video today is typical of what happens when a horny girl delves further into the story....the skirt comes off, the shirt disappears (nipples rubbing on the sheets is always nice) and then a hand surreptitiously snakes down under the waistband of her knickers...
She enjoys herself thoroughly before collapsing in an exhausted heap...you should try it!
Up on the urban rooftop, in full view of the Melbourne office workers, Carly T undresses down to the bare skin. The act seems to make her horny, having prodigious girlcum, even though she's obviously cold.
Carly has been in a good number of other shoots such as Book Shop Girls, Wrestling Girls and the double Intimate Moments video with Anastasia.
Ren, a frequent poster on our forums has finally had the time for her first Solo shoot to come up on the site. She has fine-looking large breasts and a deliciously hairy pussy. Ren doesn't mind showing you finger insertions at all. Her Dressing Room photos can be found on the same page as her Solo set.
Tash is alone with herself, undisturbed and unhurried. She takes this special, private moment in time to explore her sexual urges, moistening a finger to rub an erect nipple on her sizable, highly squeezable breasts. Loving the sensation and extra stimulation, her hands can't wait to dip down lower to her sweet spot.
I love the way she opens herself up- it's so easy to see her index finger hard and fast on her engorged clitoris, the speed, the exact angle and pressure needed to bring on a blissful release...very educational!
This is a special Intimate Moment with two camera angles giving you a crisp, moist close-up of her juicy pussy!
You might remember this vivacious green-eyed red head from Florist Girls where some simple bouquet arranging turned into a passionate make out session! Well this is her very first solo video so you get to know her body a bit more intimately...
Her ginger curls and freckle-smattered cheeks are incredibly beautiful, and perfectly match the hue of her natural pubic hair. Katia giggles nervously as she slowly undresses, gradually getting more relaxed and letting her natural confidence shine through!
Cleo & Zora kiss and caress, perving on each other, their hands down their pants, desire in the eyes....but something's holding them back. It soon becomes clear this was MEANT to be just a double masturbation video- no oral sex allowed (wah!) But there are some times when your own fingers just can't satisfy like a strong, wet tongue deep inside a needy pussy!
