The good news: DNA testing has confirmed that John Edwards is not the father of Rielle Hunter's baby.
The bad news: The father is Bill Clinton.
Ha ha -- just kidding! It's almost impossible to get pregnant by having the type of sex Bill Clinton prefers.
Also, by now, everyone has heard the news that Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, has refused to grant a paternity test.
I wonder if Edwards knew that when he was making his chesty offer to take a paternity test? Edwards gushed to ABC's Bob Woodruff: "I would welcome participating in a paternity test, be happy to participate in one ... happy to take a paternity test and would love to see it happen."
As Edwards knows, our paternity laws were written by Gloria Steinem, so if the mother doesn't want a paternity test, it can't happen. So when Woodruff asked if he was going to actually take the paternity test soon, Edwards quickly noted, "I'm only one side of the test."
With Rielle in on the scam, Edwards could boldly demand a paternity test and then self-righteously defend his mistress's decision to refuse a paternity test. How dare you gainsay this woman's right to her privacy! Because if there's one person who's gone the extra mile to keep Hunter from becoming a public figure, it's John Edwards.
Edwards is closely following the Kennedy model of responding to charges of misconduct. First, admit only as much as can be currently proved. Second, get the other party to block any further investigation. I guess he really is "Kennedy-esque"!
For example, when the cops found DNA on the murdered body of Martha Moxley in Greenwich, Conn., the Kennedy suspect, Michael Skakel, suddenly remembered he had been up in a tree that night masturbating! (Talk about a tree-hugger.) You can see how something like that could slip your mind.
After Teddy Kennedy plunged his car off the Chappaquiddick Bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne in it and then failed to report the accident for nine hours, Kennedy admitted he had driven off the bridge -- but said he was in a state of shock for the next nine hours, preventing him from reporting the submerged car with a woman trapped in it.
Indeed, Kennedy was so disoriented he was barely able to dream up a highly unlikely alibi.
The historical parallel to Edwards' pincer move with Rielle Hunter is that Kennedy ostentatiously demanded a full investigation -- while the Kopechne family stoutly objected to an autopsy of their daughter.
According to Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Cover-up by Leo Damore, the evidence suggested that Kopechne died gasping for breath in the car while Teddy Kennedy was busy trying to convince various people to say that they were driving his car.

These cute pokemon would make an adorable set of stickers. Oh and I love how Articuno's tail and head connecting makes a heart.
omg that is so cute!!!!
Is this free to use on tempetes =3=
awww so cute!!! X3
I would hug Articuno, but I wonder if it will use Blizzard on me? O.o
Cute! <3
Yaay!!! I love his!!!!!!
Why is this bird so damn CUTE?! D8 *cuddle*
I want an Articuno. But I have no way to get one. :[
Hands down, cutest. Articuno. Ever. That pose, my gosh. I just want to hug it!!! XD I love how it's wing curling up to it's head sorta makes a heart shape too!! Whether that was intentional or not, I love it!
It actually wasn't intentional, and I didn't notice at all until I was done x3

So adorable!!
This one is totally cute!
You make them better and better as time pass!
You make them better and better as time pass!
It's cute, but I don't think the red outline looks very good. Not the color I would have chosen anyway.
oh yeah? What colour were you thinkin about?
Maybe a bright orange or a cooler red (more blue toned).
I..I think you might have a different screen saturation D: The boarder is actually a deep purple magenta. Is the colour you're seeing bright in any way?
No, not really bright, it just looks off to me. I tried looking at it a couple different computer screens. I think the color is just reading too strong as the border and kind of distracts from the actual image. Could just be my eyes though lol
hrms...I tried with a darker colour and it seemed to muted. I'll try it again tomorrow when I haven't stared at it for a while :3
hee hee awww! <3

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Naples
by sarahs
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful all of the food and drinks were at the Loving Hut! We had spring rolls with a delicious peanut (I think) sauce, each of us ordered a different dish and shared- loving everything, I had Thai Iced Tea (mmmmmm), and we all had desert. Everything is vegan, so the hardest part was making up my mind! I haven't had options on a menu in my entire life! I highly recommend this restaurant! It's the only all-veg option in Naples, and it's great to boot!

Hi there! I'm a new rider and I just signed up for the forums, so I thought I'd post an introduction. I'm 32 and started taking English lessons again. I took a few (maybe five? Tops) lessons and had some uninstructed riding time 13 or 14 years ago. I don't know why I kept putting it off -- I think I was afraid of failure, but now I'm so glad I started back.
I've had three lessons so far, once a week private instruction. I'd love to do jumping someday; that's my primary goal. I wish I could afford more riding time but it's not in the budget right now. I'm doing OK but I have a lot to learn. Just started working on posting the trot last week.
So, hi!

Aflac Inc. and Chubb Corp. are among a growing number of companies revealing their corporate contributions, some of which may go to nonprofits and trade associations spending millions of dollars on U.S. elections without disclosing their donors.
A study out today found 45 of 88 companies providing information about corporate donations, up from 36 a year earlier.
"A lot of the research shows that the money tends to be squandered following the political biases of the CEO," said Craig Holman of Public Citizen, a Washington-based advocacy group that favors stronger disclosure rules. "The objective is not to prevent political expenditures; it's to make sure those expenditures are reasonable and for the benefit of the company itself."
Columbus, Georgia-based Aflac will start revealing corporate donations to outside groups, said Jon Sullivan, a spokesman. The company's website said Aflac will report contributions of more than $50,000 to trade groups and other nonprofits.

On July 19, FAIR issued an Action Alert criticizing CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer's shallow and dismissive commentary on the current crisis in the Middle East. CBS Public Eye ombudsman Vaughn Ververs responded to FAIR's alert on Public Eye's website in a July 20 post titled "We'll Just Have to Agree to Disagree."
Ververs began by noting that in covering the Middle East, it is "not hard to offend one side or another even when trying hard not to." That is especially true, according to Ververs, when it comes to commentary on the region. He went on to quote Schieffer's commentary, excerpts from FAIR's alert, and comments from readers. Ververs' own analysis followed:
Secondly, Schieffer delivers a commentary each week, and it is clearly labeled "commentary." You can legitimately question the wisdom of the network's Evening News anchor delivering his commentary at all. It may well be that viewers will associate the opinions with a particular show or the news division as a whole. But commentary has appeared on news programs throughout television's history. (Schieffer has discussed the possibility of delivering commentaries on the Evening News after Katie Couric takes the anchor chair.) As long as the audience is informed that they are hearing opinion or commentary, not straight news, different journalistic rules apply. You may not agree, but it's represented as opinion, not fact.
Even opinion writers aren't allowed to make up their own facts, of course, but they are free to make their own assumptions and provide their own analysis of events. They may use evidence supporting their case and exclude or ignore facts that may undermine it. That's called making an argument, the goal of which is to persuade. Watching and reading Schieffer's commentary, it seems to me there was less an effort to persuade the audience to any particular point of view than to express the tangled nature of the region. But, then again, that's my opinion and you're free to disagree.
FAIR is pleased that Ververs responded to FAIR activists. His first point would seem to be somewhat extraneous to FAIR's criticism; while Face the Nation's newsmaker interviews may indeed be intended to "make news" rather than explain it, Schieffer's commentary clearly was intended to explain events—or rather, to assert that there was no explanation for them. As for the idea that Face the Nation "seek(s) to understand where events are heading, not where they've been," it's hard to see how one could predict the future without some understanding of how we got to the present. In any case, Schieffer's commentary did not anticipate future events, but instead recalled past events (the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the capture of the Israeli soldier) and looked at how they did or did not affect the situation.
Ververs' second point is that commentary has long been part of television news, and that commentary is judged by different standards than straight reporting is. This is true enough; the question is whether Schieffer lived up to the standards of commentary. We would disagree with Ververs' claim that a commentators are free to "exclude or ignore facts that may undermine" their case; a commentary that depends on the audience not knowing basic facts (such as the fact that Israeli forces have killed 144 Palestinians in Gaza since their "withdrawal") is not an argument but a deception.
Finally, we would, in fact, take issue with Ververs' opinion that Schieffer was trying to "express the tangled nature of the region." Schieffer's commentary was not saying that the conflict was complicated, but rather that it was simple: The actions of "fundamentalists in Gaza and Lebanon" have no rational motives, but instead occur simply "because this is the Middle East." This comes perilously close to blaming violence on ethnicity, and when commentary by CBS's most prominent newscaster becomes that simplistic, we feel that it's grounds for concern.

|A buddy and I made a late summer push up San Gorgonio, and tarped it on the top. Water was scarce on the way up due to a dry summer, but the nighttime view was unbeatable. The cars on the freeway in the valley gave an almost serpent-like view from the top. I highly encourage spending the night on the top of this peak in one of the many rock shelters, and then quietly making your way off the peak in the early morning light. We were lucky enough to come across 7-10 bighorn sheep on the trail, at one time not more than 75 feet away. A ranger at the bottom was shocked to hear of our experience, saying that seeing them is highly unusual. We were blessed!

|Route Climbed: South Fork loop trip Date Climbed: October 18, 2003
|Had a great run on the mountain this morning with very few people out on the trails. A bit of Fall color showing in the leaves. It was windy on top but still a nice day. I took the S. Fork trail up and headed for Dry Lake, Mineshaft Saddle and on to the top. Returned by running down the other trail past the Dollar Lake trail junction and back down to the trailhead completing a big CW loop on a stem. One of my best days on the mountain out of several visits over the years. 3 hours up , 2 down.

|Left San Diego @ zero dark thirty to avoid the traffic...Stepped off on the trail @ 0740 and was summit bound...the first climb just across the river was very steep and I quickly discarded my long sleeve shirt...the trail was very well marked and easy to follow. Took numerous pictures and the view from about 9,000 feet as the clouds blanketed everything below you was spectacular...There is no water source (no snow) after you pass the High Creek Camp and the summit is still about three miles away so enusre you have an adequate supply of H2O... On the summit, filled out the log book, enjoyed the view, took several photos, had my equipment check by the resident custom inspector (persistent furry four legged chimpmonk looking beast) Took a short nap at the top and then headed down while the sun light was plentiful...A couple of hikers on there way up to camp said they had spotted two small bear off in the distant between vivian creek and the halfway camp area...

|We knew the hike was long, but had no clue how hard it was. We started at 6:30 a.m. and the mosquitos were plentyful. One gal in our party was very slow and we had to wait at every stop for her to catch up. It took us over 7 hours to reach the top and 5 hours to descend. It was really tough but well worth it. The whole hike had beautiful vista and on a clear day you can see for miles. For this hike you have to be in good shape and know your limits.

This was my second solo on the mountain, first time I followed someones snow tracks in the wrong direction and got lost until very late at night (New Moon of course). Second time reached the summit in one of my fastest hikes, 7.5 hours. I started at dawn - 6AM, summited at 10:30AM, got to the beach in time to go body surfing and watch the sunset and hour later!

News in Brief
GOP Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Chuck Grassley of Iowa charge that the developers of the HealthCare.gov website inside the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "ignored countless red flags" in the run-up to the Oct. 1, 2013, launch of open enrollment under the 2010 health care law.
In a report issued June 19, the GOP lawmakers argue that a lack of coordinated project management inside CMS or a vendor acting as general contractor led to the failure of key components of the site. According to the report, contractors and IT personnel inside CMS, "were aware for months of gaping holes in testing, critical security concerns, and failures under the most modest simulations."
The report aggregates pre-launch reports and other government and contractor documents that have been obtained and previously made available by congressional committees, but it provides a useful timeline of the events leading up to the Oct. 1 launch, efforts by vendors and officials to explain the failures, and a current price tag for HealthCare.gov-related IT expenditures. The federal government obligated $834 million on IT contracts related to HealthCare.gov and other IT through February 2014, according to the answers supplied by Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
The fiscal 2015 budget request from the Obama administration includes $200 million for IT that supports the health care law, including new development and operations and maintenance for the system.
With the FedRAMP deadline in the rearview mirror, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cloud Computing Program is turning to industry and government alike to tackle the biggest cloud-related issues government-wide.
The cloud working groups will address requirements NIST laid out in its "U.S. Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap 1.0" in 2011.The NCCP has identified three target areas on which to focus: cloud services, federated community cloud, and interoperability and portability.
The Interoperability and Portability for Cloud Computing working group aims to demystify the issues behind interoperability and portability needed for cloud computing, and also what connections exist between the two.
The second group will look at the roadmap's Requirement 5, "Frameworks to support seamless implementation of federated community cloud environments." This group will define the term "federated cloud" and develop a path to its implementation.
The third group will work with the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture to establish consistent categories of cloud services to help customers get a better understanding of the service and hardware they're purchasing.
NIST is hosting a teleconference June 25 to kick start the effort, and will be discussing group goals, member roles and responsibilities, meeting schedules and deadlines for those interested in any of the working groups.
ManTech International and URS Federal have lost their second bid to unseat DynCorp International from the State Department's $165 million Vanguard 2.2.3 contract, Washington Technology reports.
DynCorp now has won the contract twice. ManTech and URS protested after the first award in July 2013, which led State to pull back the award and re-open the bidding.
State uses the contract to support its IT modernization and consolidation program.
GCN reports that Los Alamos National Laboratory has installed a new high-performance computer system, dubbed Wolf, that will be used for unclassified research. Initial science research projects to use Wolf include climate, materials and astrophysics modeling.

The finest in Canadian literature.

Sam Wilkes says:
So, the day has finally come when I learn about Canadian literary classics from a comic involving yellow chickens. Cool.
Also, for some reason the orangutan seems more like a Wookie in my eyes. Maybe I've been spending too much time watching classics of another genre instead of reading.

Hahaha! You've got Rachel Lynde down perfectly! (AoGG fan here.)

This series was my favorite as a kid, Thanks for reminding me of it!

Shall we call the orangutan "Carrots", or would that upset her even more?

Yes, we should… and yes it would!

I love you, Doug, for making a comic referencing Anne of Green Gables! My day is made.

Sport England promotes a planned approach to the provision of facilities and opportunities to participate in sport. In doing so we add value to the work of others and help to deliver sustainable development goals through:
In line with the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF para 73), and as presented in the diagram below, Sport England advocates that at the core of planning for sport should be a robust and up-to-date assessment of the needs for sport and active recreational facilities and opportunities for new provision. The results of the assessment should be developed into a clear strategy for meeting the identified needs, integrated into Forward Planning and applied within Development Management. By doing so the planning system will be able to meet the requirements of the NPPF, secure the considerable benefits that positive planning for sport can provide and help to meet Sport England's planning objectives.
In practice, our planning objectives are to:

The Doctor is in the house! Yes, it's Knockout. Along with his picture is his name and the Decepticon symbol.
This is a shortened version of my previous Knockout stamp seen HERE -->
Note: Comments welcome, but be polite, no trolling, and if I do not have a critique request posted, do not offer critiques. I do not tolerate trolls and excessively negative people. Do NOT use my stamps as a free license to start a debate; that is NOT why I post stamps. I post stamps to share them with like minded people for their enjoyment, and for those who support what the stamps are about to feature in their collections or favourites. And if I state "End Of Line" in a conversation, it means the conversation is over for a reason and I will not be responding. If you insist on continuing to comment after I have given that warning, you will be blocked with no further warning or discussion.
Permission to feature this in Collections, Journals, etc is freely granted. You are not allowed to repost my stamps on DA or anywhere else. Some of these are very personal and I will not grant permission for their use on DA or elsewhere nor will I grant permission for these stamps to be reposted anywhere for any reason. Do not copy my designs either. These are personal pieces and will not be for sale at any point in time.

Made of Formo clay and Apoxie Sculpt
Daily DeviationGiven 2013-12-22
Lady Lobelie and Grumble Barry by =Gniffies ( Suggested by FixMeKnow and Featured by The-Build )
Your attention to detail is awesome, I love so much about these two! The knuckles, finger detail, her dimples, the noses, the mouths, and his toes are amazing! However, in some areas I think that while you are enjoying the details you are neglecting some larger aspects such as the shape/anatomy of the legs and arms. With all of the character you are able to put into the hands, feet, and faces; I would love to see you further it in the structure of the hands and even the knees. I can't wait to see what else you do and how you progress!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
11 out of 11 deviants thought this was fair.
Is there a way to buy these sculptures? I have a very personal reason for just wanting these.
Because you have a specific reason, I do want to think about it. Normally I do not sell my creations. Until when are you in the Netherlands?
While you're in the Netherlands, it is always nice to see all my creations for real.
Greeting Ineke

In wireless sensor applications such as disaster recovery and military actions, the behavior of mobile sinks is characterized by group features. A number of mobile sinks move together in a group manner, and mobile sinks in the group stay closely and randomly move within a geographically restricted region. Recently, many communication schemes have been suggested to reflect the properties of the mobile sink group to effectively support the group communications. These schemes calculate the group region and disseminate the source's data to the calculated region in a certain discrete-time. However, as they ignore the continuous movement behavior of the group, they might have a serious reach ability problem that some mobile sinks cannot receive the source's data. Also, the periodic calculation of the region and propagation of data extrinsic to the movement of the group cause a waste of network resources. In this paper, we propose a novel data dissemination scheme for mobile sink group considering continuous movement of the group, which could resolve the problems of reach ability and inefficiency faced by the previous schemes. The proposed scheme allows the sink group to receive the source's data from virtual grid infrastructure when the group moves out from a local grid. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to previous ones in terms of transmission success ratio and node energy consumption.

Loans offered to build existing businesses, establish new ones
By: Gloria Young, Journal Staff Writer
There are loans available for startups and established businesses that can generate jobs. That's the message from the Sierra Economic Development Corporation — known as SED-Corp — and City of Auburn officials. SEDCorp partners with Auburn in administering the city's Com-munity Develop-ment Block Grant program. "SEDCorp has the experience in underwriting and how to work through the state process," Wil Wong, community development director, said Wednesday. Last year the city received $500,000 from the CDBG program — federal funds administered through the state for business loans, he said. There are actually two pots of money, he explained. There's also an existing-loan repayment fund that can be used to make new loans. Mike Holmes, Auburn mayor, says part of the challenge has been getting the word out about the loan opportunities. "We have outstanding loans that are in the $100,000 range," he said. "If we can encourage an entrepreneur to start a new business within the city, hopefully a business that would generate sales tax and create new jobs, we'll take a very serious look at their background and business plan and see if we can help." In addition to its partnership with Auburn, SEDCorp offers a variety of other business loan programs, training and technical assistance. "Part of our job and our reason for being here is to provide loans for some who can't get loans from somewhere else," CEO Brent Smith said. "That doesn't mean bad loans. They must be credit worthy." Prospective borrowers need a good credit history, business plan and a market analysis. Choices include micro loans — in the $5,000 to $35,000 range — and larger amounts. SEDCorp can lend up to $150,000 and has contacts including venture capitalists that can provide millions if the business warrants, Smith said. Only fixed-rate loans are available. And the loans are collateralized. "We've used some interesting security over the years," Smith said. That has included a dump truck, classic automobile and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Loan supervisor Jerry Huynh coordinates the programs. "He's tasked with expanding the number of loan programs we provide, expanding word of them and doing more partnerships with banks," Smith said. Huynh also is the point person for the city of Auburn's CDBG program. The loans can be for real estate purchases, tenant improvements, equipment and working capital, Smith said. SEDCorp also has a special program for broadband Internet service providers. Operations Manager Sandra Sindt oversees the training side, coordinating courses in Internet marketing, QuickBooks and other topics. Currently she's working on a business boot camp to be held in late February in Susanville, with others likely to follow in Plumas, Sierra and Nevada counties, and eventually in Placer and El Dorado counties. The intense three 12-hour days will cover business law, financial statements, Quickbooks, Web site development, marketing, marketing analysis and business analysis. Attendees are required to provide a $50 deposit that is returned after successful completion of the course. "We want people who attend to be serious about being there," Smith said. "Business is serious. Business is a battlefield, so prepare for battle." The Journal's Gloria Young can be reached at gloriay@goldcountrymedia. com or comment at Auburnjournal.com.

Transplant of Faith; Jehovah's Witnesses in 'Bloodless' Kidney Swop
Byline: BEEZY MARSH;NICK CRAVEN
A JEHOVAH'S Witness has been given new life by his wife in a groundbreaking operation in which a kidney was transplanted from her to him without either having a blood transfusion.
Alfred Hoyle, 51, and his wife Marie were unable to receive blood because of their strict religious beliefs and knew they risked their lives without the option of transfusions being available to surgeons.
But the devoted couple were determined to go ahead before time ran out for Mr Hoyle, who has had to undergo kidney dialysis three times a week for nine years.
Surgeons at St James's Hospital in Leeds carried out the five-hour operation to remove a kidney from Mrs Hoyle and transplant it into her husband using a 'bloodless' technique pioneered at the hospital.
The hospital successfully carried out a liver transplant on a 19-year-old Jehovah's Witness earlier this year without using blood. But the Hoyles' 'live donor' operation was the first at the hospital in which the surgical team had the added complication that donor and recipient were not blood relatives, such as brother and sister.
In those cases, there is less chance of the recipient's body rejecting the donated organ because of the increased likelihood of a good tissue match.
With Mr Hoyle's health deteriorating and a shortage of donor organs, the couple feared further waiting could be fatal.
Mrs Hoyle decided to investigate the possibility of giving him one of her kidneys.
Against huge odds, she was found to be a suitable match for her husband.
But there remained the possibly fatal risks of each undergoing major surgery without blood.
Mrs Hoyle was to say later: 'I was in tears, not for myself, but at the enormity of what we wanted to do.' The Hoyles, who live in Bradford, decided to press ahead, however, and the operation took place last Friday.
Clasping his wife's hand as he recovered, Mr Hoyle said: 'I can't express what a loving thing, what a tremendous thing my wife has done in giving me a kidney.' Surgeon Steve Pollard, who led the operating team, said: 'We told them what we thought was possible, what makes it safe and less safe.
'I know there are some units which would not do the procedure under these circumstances but it is not us taking the risk, it is the patient.' The couple's two children, Rachel, 32, and Matthew, 30, have already noticed a difference in their father.
'As soon as we saw dad after the op there was colour in his cheeks and he was a new man,' Rachel said. 'Now it has all happened we are all just very relieved because dad's quality of life had begun to suffer tremendously from all his trips to hospital. …

History holds a lesson for the Supreme Court, the brief warns: Be skeptical of laws protecting women that are written by men.
The nation's past is littered with such statutes, say the historians who filed the friend-of-the-court brief, and the motives were suspect.
Some protected women from "the embarrassment of hearing filthy evidence" as members of a jury, a sheltering instinct that resulted in female defendants being judged by panels composed only of men.
Some shielded women from having to work nights as pharmacists in hospitals - but not as low-wage custodians.
Some barred women from working as bartenders - jobs coveted by men - but not as cocktail...
