I stole this from Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday from a few weeks ago. I can't help it, I'm excited for my birthday!
1. My most favorite birthday was probably last year's birthday. It was just a good mix of people and we all had fun and… that's about all I ask for in a birthday!
2. My worst birthday was unfortunately my 21st. My best friends and I were fighting (can't even remember why) and they didn't even call me. I ended up being sick the day of my actual birthday and I think I sat in my apartment and cried. It was very depressing.
3. My favorite birthday memory is on my 19th birthday when my best friend dared me to kiss her boyfriend. Seriously. We were trying to freak him out. It was just a peck on the cheek but it was absolutely hysterical.
4. The best birthday present I've ever received was hmm… no idea. I just like presents, hehe.
5. The best birthday present I've ever given was a Twins jersey for Dustin. I knew he'd been wanting one and it felt good to get him something that I knew he REALLY want.
6. Birthdays are something I love even though I kind of fear getting older. I love the idea of having a day totally devoted to you in which you can do whatever you want.
7. My favorite age so far has been 23. I was at a good place. I had good people around me and I felt settled. But I think maybe 28 might give 23 a run for its money.
P.S. If you're Meghan from The Perfect Compilation Tape then you should probably email me because you won the $50 credit to Barn Owl Primitives! Congrats lady and thanks to everyone that entered!

This is rather unexpected:
I've never heard of Link_A_Media.
85,000-90,000 random IOPS is pretty impressive.
No pricing yet.
btw, these negative reviews are devastasting to ocz brand/reputuation. cmpltetely destroys any custoemr goodwill or faith in the product.
seems to me the petrol is using crap nand that is dieing out quickly because of write amplificaiton or poor fimrware optimization.
New FW was released yesterday for Octane and Petrol. Who knows what it fixes.
I don't really care about a 500MB/s transfer rates. 200MB/s is fine as long as it uses less than 1 watt, doesn't produce excess heat, it's reliable and economical. How about a budget 128gb SSD like that for $99?
The significance of this ASIC solution is its mixed signal processing and iterative data recovery technologies that enable hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) companies to increase storage density and reduce manufacturing costs, with one platform and continue to meet the growing demand for high-performance and low-cost data storage in computing and enterprise storage networking applications.
The hard drive like certainty and predictability in their products. The current state of SSD controllers, firmware and designs is anything but that. To date, there is no turnkey solution that a company like Seagate or Western Digital could implement that would give them hard drive-like compatibility and dependability, with all of the benefits of an SSD.
That said, LSI/Sandforce will be a contender as well.
Benchmarks for this drive/controller at thessdreview
Looks to be pretty impressive for a first generation controller from an "unknown" company. However, the small file transfers (notably 0.5-2.0) are pretty ugly & that's what matters w/ consumer use...Lets see if they can pump out quick FW updates like OCZ.
In addition it remains to be seen at which price this comes for Corsair and what their margins are. Again: Can't wait to see them go public and come out with their financials on a regular basis.
Let's hope they will at some point announce a price for this drive and maybe even get some into the stores... :-)
I'm sorry Stocksock. I just misunderstood at first and then when I caught up I actually thought I was being helpful. I get your point that this is someone you were unaware of but if you look at the list I gave you will see they are not just generic SoC companies. If they were the list would be much larger. All of those companies have some IP, R&D, or products in the SSD space.
Here are a few examples from the list:
- DensBits is an SSD controller / IP company that licenses technology for high density x3 MLC (and TLC) flash.
- eASIC's IP includes a NAND flash memory controller core along with their SoC technologies.
- Faraday Technology offers PCIe and SATA 3 interface IP cores for use in SSDs.
- IDT announced it was working with Micron to develop a commercial PCIe flash SSD for the server market.
- JMicron has various physical interface designs and bridges including SATA and PCIe plus a flash SSD controller with integrated SMART functions. Also note Kingston Technology is investing $3 million in JMicron.
- Silicon Motion is a leading supplier of controllers for 3 bit per cell flash or MLC.
- StorCloud is currently in stealth mode. The company's founder - Rado Danilak - previously was the founder and CTO of SandForce.
120GB, 240GB and 480GB of the Corsair Neutron Series bear the signature SSD sizes of Sandforce. Looks like they are also involved unless they are being imitated.
This certainly plays to the bear thesis of competition stepping in and saturating the field before the OCZ controllers have a chance to take hold. Not great news on that front.
That being said I am more or less most interested in the TLC space from a consumer side out of Computex, so I'm kind of meh on this announcement (especially without reviews). TLC has the opportunity to filter out a lot of consumer competition quite quickly, and I really hope OCZ is ahead of the curve here.
But make no mistake that just as quick as someone like Link a Media can appear the same will eventually happen in the TLC space. So it's going to be important time if TLC does hit in the consumer space soon.
"This certainly plays to the bear thesis of competition stepping in and saturating the field before the OCZ controllers have a chance to take hold. Not great news on that front."
Sales stats on newegg and amzn say it is not Corsair who is saturating the market.
Would be interesting to know Corsair's margins with this controller. Can't wait to have more transparency regarding what is going on financially with Corsair. Good thing (if) they are going public, IMO.
You are making this excruciating. A list of every company that makes a NAND SoC is irrelevant.
This Link_A_Media controller is relevant because it is suitable for cutting edge MLC-SSDs for PCs and is being licensed to at least one notable manufacturer with some nice headline numbers. You can't say the same for most companies on that list. DensBits is relevant since it may have TLC solutions coming to market shortly, but many of the other smaller companies on that list work only in the low-end consumer (flash stick controllers) or niche industrial applications and don't really apply.

Mayweather and Pacquiao's Adviser Continue Fight Talks?
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
AMDST the confusion and conflicting reports on a possible Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight, the one constant is that the phone lines are open between the American boxer and the Filipino ring icon's adviser Michael Koncz.
Koncz, who arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, spoke to BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard, but flatly refused to give any additional details. He claimed that he wants to keep his side of a commitment to Mayweather not to talk to the media about their conversations, following their initial one-on-one meeting at the Mayweather gym last month.
"This is very delicate and very sensitive," said Kocz, although Mayweather and Pacquiao, to a much lesser extent, reveal some details about their phone conversations from time to time.
The Pacquiao adviser admitted he has a series of meetings scheduled in Las Vegas on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, but again declined to disclose, who he is meeting with.
Mayweather is reported to have clarified in an email to ESPN, that while Pacquiao had mentioned a 50-50 split during a brief talk with him last Wednesday, he would not agree to a 50-50 split.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum reacted by maintaining his position that two things has to happen before a fight can be made.
First, is that Mayweather has to agree to either a May 26 or a June 9 date, or better still, sometime in November. And second, the fight has to be a 50-50 split, otherwise it can't happen despite the fact that Pacquiao had publicly announced he was willing to take a cut just to ensure the fight takes place. Last week, however, when he spoke to Mayweather, he had an apparent change of mind and mentioned a 50-50 sharing.
Arum has insisted many times in the recent past that Pacquiao packs the MGM Grand Garden Arena, while Mayweather doesn't, as evidenced in his fights against Juan Manuel Marquez and Victor Ortiz.
He also pointed to Pacquiao-Marquez III, which drew some 1.4 million pay per view fans, while the Mayweather-Ortiz drew much less.
ESPN.com quoted the Mayweather email, which stated: "I called him (Pacquiao) and asked him about us fighting May 5 and giving the world what they want to see. I also let him know we both can make a lot of money. He asked about a 50/50 split and I told him, no that can't happen, but what can happen is you can make more money fighting me than you have made in your career. I also let him know I'm in control on my side, but he needs to get on the same page with his promoter so we can make this fight happen."
He mentioned the Koncz visit to his gym, during which Mayweather said they "spoke about getting the defamation of character lawsuit dropped against me and about both fighters taking the random blood and urine test. I spoke to Koncz again last night about the same thing. The call last night lasted 15 or 20 minutes. I mainly spoke to his manager, he (Pacquiao) got on and off the phone real quick."
if Floyd agreed to 50-50 Arum would come up with ANOTHER excuse....I wouldn't wanna do a 50-50 deal with a cat who had a hoe ass defamation lawsuit over my head...smh...who does that type of ish?!?...sue a cat you gotta…Comment by MrRolltide91 on 01-24-2012

A: Good, real good. I'm ready to go.
Q: What was the whole offseason like for you, wondering if you were going to be back and not getting a head coaching position?
A: No disappointment. No disappointment; not much wondering. It was a great opportunity. I went out and did a couple of interviews and it was a good opportunity for me to learn and grow. I'm excited about being back. We did some nice things during the offseason through the draft and free agency. I'm excited about getting started.
Q: What has been the most exciting change to the defense?
A: Personnel; everybody that we got. Everybody that we got is pretty exciting.
Q: You knew there would be some changes. Did you expect this much of an overhaul?
A: No. You never know from year to year. I'm an assistant coach and I'm involved in the evaluation process, not necessarily in the decision making process; but evaluations. But it was a big offseason.
Q: As you saw all the new defensive players being signed, did your eyes kind of light up, "Now I have something to work with"?
A: Yeah, that is about it. That is about it.
Q: Is it true that you actually don't want the opposing quarterback to throw a single pass next year?
A: Yeah, that would be good. It is kind of a balancing act. If they are not throwing a pass, then they are probably running the ball. You don't want to get a ton of those either if you are not stopping it.
Q: Talk about the frustration of the Carolina game last year, being beat up physically on the defense and now as you go into camp trying to improve.
A: Well, you like that word 'frustration.' I'm not going to use that word. We were disappointed, but I wasn't frustrated. The fact of the matter is we took over a team that was 4 and 12 and in two years we are 11 and 5 and the guys are playing hard. You can't control the injury factor. It's not in our control; we can only control what we can. The fellows that were out there were playing hard and they gave everything they had and we lost the game. We were disappointed, but we are excited about getting started again.
Q: Do you have a lot of work ahead of you between now and that first game in finding a way to incorporate the new players into what you want to do?
A: Yeah, I'm looking forward to a challenge.
Q: Just talk about that a little bit. What is the challenge now?
A: Trying to find out how they all fit, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, and trying to put it all together.
Q: Have you been scheming in your head, trying to be creative, trying to figure out …..?
A: You can say it just like that. That's exactly right and that is what you do, whether you are in the shower or walking to or from work. If you see something that happens maybe by accident on the field, you say, 'Boy that looks pretty good, let's call it something.' That is all we are doing right now, we are trying to …..
Q: There are going to be a lot of questions that have to be answered in this camp.
A: Sure. I look forward to coming to work every day. We are going to put them together and try to figure out how we can use them most effectively.
Q: Were you on the LaVar Arrington bandwagon right away? Could you just talk about what he brings?
A: I was fortunate to have watched him play in high school. He was from North Hills and I was in Pittsburgh at the time. He was a big, strong, fast athlete coming out of high school. Then, of course, did a great job with Penn State. We interviewed him a number of times before the draft. He was a local kid and he always loved the Steelers. So I have gotten to know him over the course of time fairly well.
Q: Why is he better suited to the strong side? It seemed like the opening was on the weak side when you signed him. What skills does he bring?
A: He is a good rusher. To have he and Strahan and Osi line up next to each other at some point will be a pretty daunting task for an offensive team. And he is just as much – in our defense, because we run – I think I explained to some of you guys – a closed side reduction and an open side reduction – it may be a little bit too technical; but the fact of the matter is that he will be weak just as much as he will be strong.
Q: Could you talk about Jonas Seawright and how you have seen him progress over the last few days?
A: Jonas is big; he is a big kid. He is young, enthusiastic and energetic in learning the program. His endurance has gotten better. He is stronger than he was when he first got here. He understands the defense better. He has really done a good job pushing forward. He is trying to learn how to play – snap-by-snap, game-by-game, and to stay focused on the next play.
Q: What about his weight? Is he where you would like him to be right now?
A: I'm not the weight coach. I could care less. I just want him to play football.
Q: Do you know yet what you have at that tackle spot? It is a lot of guys with kind of unprovedn potential, maybe.
A: Yeah. That is everybody on the team, yeah. Fred, William, Jonas, Duckett – that is kind of what we had last year, too. It's the same thing.
Q: Were you surprised in the first round of the draft when you traded down and you drafted a pass rushing defensive end?
A: Surprised. No. We had all evaluated him and we had all – I may have given him the highest grade that we had. He is really a talented player. We're excited about having him.
Q: They said they wouldn't have drafted him if they didn't think they could find a place to put him at some point. Do you see him getting on the field with the whole new crew here?
A: Oh yeah. I doubt he will be inactive in a game. Were you at practice today?
Q: Yes, I was.
A: Did you see him out there? He's doing a good job. He's smart and fast; a good pass rusher.
Q: Do you believe you can never have enough pass rushers?
A: Oh, absolutely. Oh, there's no doubt. Obviously, if you can't put enough pressure on a passer, you are going to be in for a long day on the back end. I was not here for the game that, I think, Jerry Reese referred to – San Francisco -- some years ago. But evidentially they had some problems at the end of the game, or whatever. But I would say the same thing. In my tenure at Pittsburgh we had good pass rushers and we had a number of them and we gave a lot of different people opportunities to rush. We ended up, I think, in our 40's in sacks this year here. I think it was in the top 10 in sacks. But, yeah, you would like to have a lot of pass rushers. You would like to have people that could put pressure on the passer. That is part of our defensive philosophy, stopping the run and pressuring the passer. That is the way we get it done.
Q: With Osi and Strahan, you probably don't want to take them off the field?
A: Oh, they won't be off.
Q: So how do you ……?
A: Very carefully. If I tell you, then I'm going to tell the Eagles and the Redskins.
Q: There will be other places besides defensive end where you might see them?
A: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Q: I understand you don't make the personnel decisions; Will Peterson's health status and ………
A: We're only going to talk about the guys that are working here.
Q: Would you have preferred to have him….?
A: I'm only going to talk about the guys that are working here.
Q: How about the guys that you brought in – Sam Madison. What do you see from him so far?
A: He does a good job. He is really instinctive, experienced, obviously, intuitive, hard worker, quick. He holds a lot. Other than that he is a very good football player.
Q: Are you going to rely on him to now be the veteran – the steady force in that secondary?
A: Yeah. He - and I'm going to push Gibril that way, now that we have been together three years. James Butler, in just his second year, is going to have to be the veteran. Will Demps has done a good job picking up the defense. All of the guys that are new are really relying on those guys to help them and to lead them and guide them. R.W. McQuarters is a veteran guy and people are asking him a lot of questions. So that is good.
Q: Do you think that Gibril is ready to take on a leadership role?
A: We hope so. We'll find out. I'll try to lead him and guide him and help him that way. So we'll find out.

Comparison of MPEG-7 descriptors for long term selection of reference frames
Document typeConference lecture
Date issued2009
Rights accessOpen Access
During the last years, the amount of multimedia content has greatly increased. This has multiplied the need of efficient compression of the content but also the ability to search, retrieve, browse, or filter it. Generally, video compression and indexing have been investigated separately. However, as the amount of multimedia content grows, it will be very interesting to study representations that, at the same time, provide good compression and indexing functionalities. Moreover, even if the indexing metadata is created for functionalities such as search, retrieval, browsing, etc., it can also be employed to increase the efficiency of current video codecs. Here, we use it to improve the long term prediction step of the H.264/AVC video codec. This paper focuses on the comparison between four different MPEG-7 descriptors when used in the proposed scheme.

Slavery and Its Definition
Jean Allain
Queen's University Belfast - School of Law

University of Roehampton; WISE - U. of Hull
August 3, 2012
Global Dialogue, Volume 14, Number 2; Summer/Autumn 2012
Queen's University Belfast Law Research Paper No. 12-06
The very term 'slavery' and its contours are contested despite the fact that an agreed to international definition of slavery was existed since in 1926. It reads:
Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised.
From the 1930s until recently, the general outlook towards the legal definition of slavery has been a negative one: why it is not applicable to cases of slavery.
Spurred on in 2008 by a determination of the highest court in Australia, that the legal definition was applicable to contemporary cases of de facto slavery; a group of property scholars and experts in slavery set about unpacking those powers attaching to the right of ownership. Much to their surprise, there is no true gap existing between a legal reading of ownership and the factual circumstances of contemporary enslavement.
This article speaks to that group's findings by setting out an internally consistent reading of that definition within its property paradigm that reflects the lived experience of contemporary slaves. As a result, the definition provides the type of legal certainty which is fundamental to any prosecution of contemporary slavery: within an ordinary reading of its terms, based as it is on a property paradigm, it captures the factual reality of slavery.

India says no U.S. standoff as diplomat returns home
NEW DELHI -- India's government said Saturday that there was no standoff with the United States over the arrest and strip search of an Indian diplomat in New York, as both countries appear eager to defuse the monthlong dispute.
After meeting with the diplomat, Devyani Khobragade, following her return to New Delhi, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid downplayed tensions with the U.S., saying the two countries would sort out their issues.
Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York, was indicted by a U.S. federal grand jury on accusations that she exploited her Indian-born housekeeper and nanny, allegedly having her work more than 100 hours a week for low pay and lying about it on a visa form. She denies the charge.
She was allowed to return home in an apparent compromise with India, and arrived in New Delhi on Friday night.
"There is no reason now to feel any immediate concern about any outcome that might be adverse or particularly disturbing in nature," Khurshid told reporters Saturday. "In due course, we will take up all issues one by one and sort them out."

OLD FORGE, N.Y. — In a remarkable showing of vigilance and courage, a school bus driver helped save the life of a woman trapped in her car in a frigid pond.
Shawn Marie Chesebro, a driver for the Town of Webb Union Free School District, was returning from a morning run on Jan. 3 when she noticed skid marks and tracks leading off the icy road. Because of her high vantage point, Chesebro was able to see over a snowbank and spot the protruding wheels of an overturned vehicle in a pond.
Chesebro attempted to call for help first on the radio and then on her cell phone, but neither was getting reception in the area. She knocked on the door of a nearby house, but there was no answer.
Chesebro could tell that no one had exited the overturned car, so she jumped into the pond, with the icy water reaching up to her waist. She saw someone in the car, but the doors were locked. Using large chunks of frozen pond, Chesebro attempted to break a window.
After she had been in the water about five minutes, she was able to wave over a passing motorist, who has not been identified. The man brought Chesebro a tire iron, which she used to break a window, and helped her pull out the woman.
Someone in the nearby house had called 911, and emergency responders arrived at the scene. The driver, Michal Pederson, 60, was taken to a hospital, where she was treated for mild hypothermia and released.
It was estimated that Pederson was in the water nearly 20 minutes. She later said that, though she was able to capture breaths by bobbing to the surface, she had just run out of energy, said her goodbyes and was ready to die when Chesebro arrived.
Chesebro, who is in her fifth year of driving for the Webb district, said there was no time to hesitate or think about the frigid water she was getting into. "I just realized that there was no other option. I knew that I had to get in there and get the person out," she said.
Chesebro and Pederson have since kept in touch, chatting every few days. About a week after the rescue, state police came to the Webb transportation department and gave Chesebro a certificate of appreciation for her heroism.
Herb Schmid, supervisor of the district's 15-bus operation, said that he and the rest of the department are proud of Chesebro's brave actions. "It was quite a feat," he said. "The police said there was no doubt that [Pederson] would have drowned if it hadn't been for Shawn. Emergency response to that area is 10 to 15 minutes."
The district encompasses 566 square miles in and around the Adirondacks.

My LO is due in six weeks and I have my cloth diapers lined up. I realize that I need some wet bags and a pail liner. Any suggestions? I was also wondering if a wet/dry bag combo is the way to go. Eventually he will be going to daycare. Thanks!
Advice for wet/dry bags and pail liner
Comments (2)
PlanetWise wet/dry bags are the bomb! We have a medium-sized one for daycare and you could get a large one for use in the nursery. I balked at the cost at first and waited forever to get mine, but now I LOVE it. It has been well worth the money.
I don't know the brand of my diaper pail liners (got them off Craigslist) but they work graet and I just use a regular step garbage can that I bought at The Container Store.

Oh my, I just realized how old this post is and that you're almost there. Good luck to you!

Digest No. 2058
|Date of Introduction:
|8 July 2013
|Economic Development
|Select Committee:
|As at 10 July, 1st reading not held
|Published: 10 July 2013by John McSoriley BA LL.B, BarristerLegislative AnalystP: (04) 817-9626 (Ext. 9626)
|Caution: This Digest was prepared to assist consideration of the Bill by members of Parliament. It has no official status.Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, it should not be taken as a complete or authoritative guide to the Bill. Other sources should be consulted to determine the subsequent official status of the Bill.
"The purpose of this Bill is to give effect to an agreement between SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited (SKYCITY) and the Crown called the New Zealand International Convention Centre Project and Licensing Agreement (NZICC Agreement)."
"The overarching purpose of the NZICC Agreement is to provide economic benefits to New Zealanders by improving New Zealand's capability to host medium- to large-scale international conferences and related exhibitions through the construction and operation of an international-standard convention centre. Under this Agreement, the Crown gives specific concessions, including regulatory changes, to SKYCITY in order that SKYCITY can meet its costs relating to the NZICC project." [1]
"Legislation that will give effect to the final agreement to design, build and operate a $402 million international standard convention centre in Auckland has today been introduced to Parliament." … "It follows the signing of the final agreement … between the Government and SkyCity." "The … Bill provides for the specific agreed regulatory concessions under the agreement to be provided to SkyCity, while ensuring that SkyCity must comply with gambling laws and regulations in all other respects in regard to those concessions. It also establishes protection of the name 'New Zealand International Convention Centre' and 'NZICC', and requires that the Convention Centre land cannot be used for any other purpose." [2]
A regulatory impact statement is at: http://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/informationreleases/ris
Main provisions
Purpose clause
The Bill provides that its overarching purpose is to provide economic benefits to New Zealanders by improving the country's capability to host medium- to large-scale international conferences through the construction and operation of an international-standard convention centre and that, to this end, the Bill's purpose is to give effect to an agreement between the Crown and SKYCITY (the Agreement") in relation to the construction and future operation of an international convention centre and the granting of changes to the regulatory regime applying to the SKYCITY Casino at Auckland, and to establish protection for the names associated with the international convention centre ("New Zealand International Convention Centre" and "NZICC") (Clause 3, the "purpose clause").
The Bill provides that it is "the intention of Parliament" that Clauses 6 to 10 and 12 of the Bill must be interpreted in a manner that best furthers the agreements set out in the NZICC Agreement (Part 1, Clause 4(2)).
The term "Agreement" is defined and:
- all provisions of the New Zealand International Convention Centre Project and Licensing Agreement as entered into between SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited and Her Majesty the Queen in right of New Zealand on 5 July 2013;
- includes variations to the Agreement after that date to the extent that they are permitted by the Agreement and are not prohibited by Clause 11 (discussed below);
- after the date on which the Agreement is terminated, means any provisions of the Agreement (as it may have been so varied) that are expressed in the Agreement to have continuing effect after the termination of the Agreement;
- after 30 June 2048, if the regulatory concessions remain in force as at that date, means any provisions of the Agreement (as it may have been so varied) that are expressed in the Agreement to have continuing effect after that date (Part 1, Clause 4(1), definition of "Agreement").
Regulatory concessions
The Bill provides that the "regulatory concessions" shall be operative at the times and on the conditions that apply to the regulatory concessions in the Agreement. The regulatory concessions prevail if a regulatory concession is inconsistent with any provision of the "gambling law", and the application of the provision of the gambling law is modified accordingly. But the provision of the "gambling law" prevails if its application would be more favourable in relation to SKYCITY Casino than the regulatory concession. The "regulatory concessions" are in summary:
- extension of licence term to 2048;
- increase in area of casino venue;
- additional gaming machines and tables;
- increase in maximum denomination for bank note acceptors from $20 to $100, but in restricted areas only;
- and authority to operate cashless card based technology and TITO Technology (ticket in ticket out).
The term "gambling law" is defined as: the Gambling Act 2003 and any regulation, rule, standard, or notice made or continued under that Act; and includes any licence; and includes any change to the Gambling Act 2003 and any regulation, rule, standard, or notice made or continued under that Act or any such licence after the date on which the Agreement was entered into (Part 2, Clause 6; Clause 4(1) definition of "regulatory concession' and "concession" ("a regulatory concession made in Clause 7.2 of the Agreement, (including, to avoid doubt, those set out in Schedule 6 and Schedule 13 of the Agreement) as the concession is set out in Schedule 1 and 2 of this [Bill]''); definition of "gambling law").
The effect of Clause 6 includes that where a regulatory concession is inconsistent with any provision of the Gambling Act 2003, or any regulations, rules, or licences made or granted under that Act, the regulatory concession overrides that provision on the terms set out in the Agreement and the application of the relevant provision of the Act, regulations, rules, or licences is modified. The Bill's explanatory note provides the following examples:
- Section 11 of the Gambling Act 2003, which prevents increase in casino gambling;
- Section 138 of that Act, which provides for casino licences to expire after 25 years (or after 15 years in the case of certain renewals of licence);
- Section 180 of that Act, which prevents gaming machines that are able to accept banknotes with a denomination greater than $20.
This override rule would not apply if this would be unfavourable to SKYCITY. "This means that if there is a law change later, SKYCITY can benefit in the same way as everyone else". [3]
Clause 7.3 of the Agreement
The Bill provides that clause 7.3 of the Agreement as set out in Schedule 3 of the Bill has the force of law to the extent necessary to give effect to the regulatory concessions and the Agreement (Part 2, Clause 7).
Clause 7.3 amends the conditions of SKYCITY casino operator's licence; amends certain minimum standards prescribed by the Secretary for Internal Affairs; revokes part of a game rule; provides for what happens if the regulatory concessions are removed before 30 June 2048; provides for what happens if the regulatory concessions are still in force as at that date.
Regulatory concessions administered and enforced in accordance with gambling law
The Bill provides that the Gambling Act 2003 applies to the regulatory concessions, and all gambling conducted under the concessions, as if they were authorised by or permitted under that Act and the Secretary of Internal Affairs, the Gambling Commission, or the Police as the case may be must exercise certain powers under the Gambling Act 2003 in a manner that is consistent with the Bill, to the extent necessary to give effect to the regulatory concessions (Part 2, Clauses 8 and 9).
The Explanatory note to the Bill gives the following examples of powers of the Secretary for Internal Affairs under the Gambling Act 2003 which must be exercised in a manner that is consistent with this Bill, to the extent necessary to give effect to the regulatory concessions:
- power under Section 141 of the Act to specify the minimum operating standards for the day-to-day operation of a casino, for inclusion in a casino licence, and to vary or revoke standards;
- power under Section 327 of the Act to prescribe minimum standards for the design, manufacture, and performance of any particular gambling equipment or class of gambling equipment, and to amend or revoke minimum standards;
- power under Section 367 of the Act to make rules for playing or participating in particular games, categories, classes, or forms of gambling; and for the systems, processes, information, and documentation to be associated with particular games, categories, classes, or forms of gambling, and to amend or revoke rules. [4]
Further matters
The Bill also makes the following provision:
- the regulatory concessions may not be varied, except by an Act of Parliament, to increase the opportunities for gambling available as a result of the regulatory concessions (Part 2, Clause 11);
- remedies in the Agreement, including the compensation and non-compliance regimes, are enforceable, despite the general principles applied by the courts to the enforcement of contracts (Part 2, Clause 12);
- the restrictive covenants providing that the site of the SKYCITY Casino cannot be used for any purpose other than as a convention centre are deemed to be covenants to which the Property Law Act 2007 applies even though they are not covenants appurtenant to adjoining land but are covenants in gross which are not allowed under the Property Law Act 2007 (Part 2, Clause 13);
Provisions relating to permanent protection for names
The Bill establishes statutory protection for the names associated with the international convention centre (Part 2, Clauses 15-19).

So much more than just a push out the door…
A shelter helped Sabrina find housing as a young mother, she said. But, "Instead of giving me the proper steps I needed, I was pushed out by the system before I was ready."
Sabrina explained, in tears, that within a year she found herself no longer able to pay rent. She was ultimately separated from her children and was soon back in a shelter.
Sabrina now lives at Crossroads, where she has been able to reunite with all four of her children. "I'm getting my life back together," she said. "I'm so grateful for where I'm at."
"I am so happy that Crossroads has programs for young mothers. We need so much more than just a push out the door," she said.

DETROIT, MI - Rap's rising star Kendrick Lamar appeared to earn a title Thursday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills that will be hard for someone to take away.
The Compton, Calif. native performed his fourth concert in Metro Detroit in an eight month span, and should be considered the hardest working artist to visit the region this year.
Lamar, 26, appeared to show plenty of gratitude at The Palace for his success and buzz that's come from his 2012 debut studio album "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City."
And Lamar mentioned he'll return soon to a metro area that's clearly embraced his unique flow, colorful lyrics and powerful stage presence.
"I'll be back," said a smiling Lamar, accompanied by a live band. "I'll be back!"
Lamar served as the opening act for Kanye West's "Yeezus" Tour and showed gave Detroit fans a unique performance with guitarists, a DJ and a drummer.
Check out some photos and tweets in the gallery below from fans who clearly enjoyed Lamar's performance.
Lamar's new approach, compared to previous shows at The Fillmore Detroit, Chene Park and Medowbrook Music Festival was clearly effective and attention-grabbing. His first show in Metro Detroit was April 12 at Meadowbrook with Steve Aoki.
During Lamar's set at The Palace, a video screen behind him showed footage of his neighborhood in Compton and images of his friends riding around the area.
Lamar told the crowd his West Coast roots and support from an increasing fan base serve as motivation to succeed under the guidance of Dr. Dre.
""Everybody you see on the screen are my homeboys back in the neighborhood back in Compton," Lamar told the crowd. "You hear me? And they appreciate each and every last one of you, too. Because you know why? They depending on me to do something positive back in they neighborhood."
Dre signed Lamar to a deal with his Aftermath label and Interscope in 2011 after the success of an independent studio album called "Section.80."
Lamar added during Thursday night's show that his Compton friends have put a lot of pressure on him to thrive in the music business and that fans of his early music will never be forgotten.
"Just by them seeing me on the stage shows that you can do anything you put your (expletive) mind to," Lamar said. "And I promise I'll forever sing about them, and I promise I'll forever sing about you for the simple fact that y'all been rockin' me since Day 1."
For photos of Kanye West's show at The Palace, check out my previous post. Fans captured all the wild, wild West action.

The Trumpet Anemone Aiptasia mutabilis is one of the hardy varieties of the Aiptasiidae family. This family offers several interesting variations of anemones that are easy to care for and reproduce quickly. The Trumpet Anemone is a cold water aiptasia however, so is not as common in the saltwater aquarium trade as its smaller aiptasia relatives.
The Trumpet Anemone is similar in structure to its smaller, but better known, weedy aiptasia cousins. Like the Glass Anemone, Brown Glass Anemone, and Small Rock Anemone, it too has tons of tapering tentacles on the outer margin of its oral disc. But unlike its cousins it doesn't retract its tentacles as readily. This anemone can easily be recognized by the characteristic color pattern of its tentacles, which are often tinted with greens or blues. It is also quite a bit larger than other Aiptasia, reaching up to 4.75" (12 cm) tall.
The smaller Aiptasia anemones don't have a very good reputation with saltwater hobbyists, and they can reach plague proportions in a saltwater aquarium or a reef tank. Scientific studies have determined that the Aiptasia have strong stings. They use venomous cells, ot nematocysts found in their tentacles, to sting corals and fish.
Infestations of Aiptasia are very hard to get rid of and the smaller species have been known to take over a reef aquarium by quickly reproducing while stinging and killing other tank invertebrates. The Trumpet Anemone, being quite a bit larger, is easier to control. It doesn't have quite the same bad reputation, however they do have strong stings and don't "play nice" with corals and other anemones. Use careful placement and keep other invertebrates out of their reach.

Another species of Aiptasia
Don't let the pretty white center fool you, this Trumpet Anemone is just another species of Aiptasia! One of the most dreaded "hitchhikers" next to the Mantis Shrimp, the Trumpet Anemone can reach plague proportions in a short time. Some natural ways to eliminate them are Peppermint Shrimp, Aiptasia eating nudibranchs and various butterflyfish, especially the Copperbanded Butterflyfish.
Habitat: Distribution / Background
Sea Anemone Facts: The Trumpet Anemone Aiptasia mutabilis was described by Gravenhorst in 1831. The Aiptasia genus is a member of the Aiptasiidae family and this genus contains 17 species. Other common names it is known by are Rock Anemone and Glass Anemone. Aiptasia mutabilis is not on the IUCN Red List for endangered species.
Where are Sea Anemones Found: This anemone is found in the cold waters of the North Eastern Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, near the Azores Islands, and from Ireland to the Canary Islands and in the region of the British Isles.
Sea Anemone Habitat: Rock Anemones attach to stones, rubble, and other hard substrates. They also are found under rock ledges in shallow areas, and attached to wood structures as well. They feed on zooplankton and fish at depths between 0 - 65 feet (0 - 20 m).
Sea Anemone Species: There are 17 species in the Aiptasia Genus. General common names all the various Aiptasia anemones are known by are the Glass Anemone, Glassrose Anemone, Rock Anemone, Devil's Plague, Aiptasia Anemone, Pest Anemone, and sometimes by this misspelling, Aptasia.
Appearance of a Sea Anemone: The Glass Anemones are somewhat translucent with an overall brown or yellowish-brown coloration, usually marked by green or blue lines radiating from the mouth. Their coloring comes from an algae called zooxanthellae living in their tissues. There are often irregular streaks of opaque white on the column, and the tentacles become pale towards the tips.
Aiptasia mutabilis can reach up to about 4.75" (12 cm) tall. Their body form is the polyp. It is composed of a smooth column, variable in shape but usually trumpet-like. It is topped with an oral disc that has a mouth in the center. There are close to 100 tentacles positioned on the outer margin of the oral disc. They are stout at the base and then taper to a fine point. Their tentacles are perfectly retractable, but they rarely retract them.
How do glass anemones move?: The Trumpet Anemone has a pedal disc or 'foot' with which it attaches to the substrate. If tank conditions are not ideal they will use their "foot" to move along the substrate. They do this by contracting the circular muscles of the foot and pushing forward. They may also crawl on their side by attaching to the substrate with adhesive spots (not easily visible) on the column.
Sea Anemones Life Cycles: It is unknown how long they live, in fact some anemones can be hundreds of years old in the wild, and in captivity have been known to last 80 years or more.
Sea Anemone Care: The Rock Anemone can be moderate in difficulty to care for. They will do fine in most reef conditions, but must be provided with a cold water environment. When choosing an anemone, make sure the color is good, their mouth is not gaping open, and their foot and tentacles are sticky to the touch. Using a very thin blunt item like a credit card, wiggle it under the foot and slowly nudge it away to help remove the anemone from the glass. On a rock, well, you will never get it off and you would need to purchase the rock as well.
What Do Sea Anemones Eat: The Glass Anemone is a carnivore. In the wild Aiptasia derive nutrition from their symbiotic algae, zooxanthellae, as well as from the water around them. These anemones will use their tentacles to capture fish, mussels, and small crustaceans that happen by, and then insert the food into their mouths for ingestion. In captivity you can feed your anemone chopped silversides, shrimp, krill, and mussels, fresh chopped fish (from your grocery store), as well as frozen carnivore preparations. They need to be fed 2 to 4 times a week.
Water changes of 10% bi-monthly or 20% a month are typical, yet the more nutrients you have the happier it will be. One average sized Trumpet Anemone (4") is equal to 2 or 3 fish as far as waste production is concerned. Purigen and Poly-fiber are great products to help in maintaining water quality. Purigen is a synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from the water at an exceptionally high rate and capacity, helping to control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Additions of Iodine and and trace elements are suggested.
The typical reef environment is what is needed for your anemone, but it must be a cold water reef. They need live rock or some other solid material they can attach to. Provide some rock crevices as well as rocky overhangs. Be sure to have all of your pumps covered. Most good quality pumps have guards on them and are worth the investment.
The Rock Anemone is an aggressive anemone that can kill and eat fish, as well as other corals and anemones. Be very careful when keeping this anemone with any other anemones, corals, or fish. They are not suitable clown fish hosts and clown fish can be eaten, as can any other fish that happens by and gets caught. This is a safe ornamental anemone for most reef tanks. Just keep in mind these anemones will sting everything they can reach, like corals and other invertebrates. After splitting, these anemones will tolerate their own "clones" and sometimes their own species.
Studies of A. pallida and A. pulchella have determined that Aiptasia individuals are dioecious, meaning that individuals are of separate sexes. However, no sexual difference in appearance is known.
Propagating aiptasia anemones is fairly easy, just cut a piece off and it will grow. Anemones in general can multiply by sexual and asexual means. Aiptasia will multiply asexually by fission, which is where a tiny bit of tissue detached from the foot quickly develops into a new and complete anemone.
Aiptasia anemones will tolerate their own "clones", and these anemones are very prolific. This is why it is very difficult to physically remove these anemones from a rock. Any remaining tissues quickly multiply into to new specimens. Sexual reproduction has not been described for the species.
Problems for the Trumpet Anemone are pretty minimal unless your lighting, water movement, feeding and water quality are low. Then your anemone will detach to look for "better conditions." This usually results in an unpleasant experience with a water pump.
Buy A Sea Anemone: The Trumpet Anemone Aiptasia mutabilis is very rarely available in stores but occasionally found online, and is rather expensive. The cost online is around $12.00 to $14.00.

Opioid analgesic misuse has risen in conjunction with increased rates of opioid prescribing. The association may be due to increased misuse among individuals receiving prescribed opioids or among those acquiring diverted opioids.1 Individuals with pain and co-occurring mental health or substance use disorders are at an increased risk for misuse.2,3 Despite guidelines recommending caution,4 health care providers prescribe opioids to individuals with these disorders at higher rates than they do to individuals without them.5 Few studies have examined misuse among high-risk, community-based populations. We conducted a longitudinal study of a community-sampled cohort of human immunodeficiency (HIV)-infected indigent adults, selected without regard to pain status or receipt of prescribed opioids, to examine rates of and factors associated with opioid analgesic misuse.
We recruited participants from the Research on Access to Care in the Homeless (REACH) study, a longitudinal cohort of indigent HIV-infected adults in San Francisco recruited via community-based probability sampling.6 We interviewed participants at a community-based field site quarterly for 2 years about pain, treatment for pain, alcohol use, current smoking, illicit substance use, and depression. We described methods and study variables previously.7,8 At each interview, participants self-reported opioid analgesic misuse behaviors using audio computer assisted self-interviewing (ACASI) technology. We asked participants to report whether their motivation for misuse was to "treat pain," "get high," both, or neither. We defined major opioid analgesic misuse as behaviors that posed imminent risk for overdose or legal peril, or behaviors for which more than 50% of the participants reported their motivation for the behavior was to get high (Table). We reported past 90-day rates of misuse at the enrollment interview and cumulative rates over the study interval. Using mixed-effects multivariate logistic regression, we determined factors associated with major misuse.
Among the 296 participants, 71.9% were male, 41.2% were African American, and 81.2% had a lifetime history of chronic homelessness. At enrollment, 10.1% reported current homelessness, 7.1% reported regular drinking, 74.3% reported current smoking, 34.8% reported current illicit substance use, and 27.4% had moderate to severe depression. At enrollment, 89.9% reported pain in the past week, and 52.0% reported being prescribed opioids by a health care provider in the past 90 days.
Over the study interval, 71.9% reported any misuse, and 53.4% reported major misuse (Table). For many misuse behaviors, most reported that their motivation was to get high; these behaviors included performing sex to get an opioid (80.0%), drinking alcohol or using street drugs to boost the effect of opioids (61.3%), or lying to a health care provider about pain symptoms in order to receive a prescription for opioids (51.1%) (eTable).
In multivariate analysis, current homelessness (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1-3.1]), regular drinking (AOR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.0-3.1]), current smoking (AOR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1-2.8]), current illicit substance use (AOR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.6-3.4]), moderate to severe depression (AOR, 1.6 [95% CI, 1.1-2.4]), and being prescribed an opioid by a health care provider (AOR, 1.5 [95% CI, 1.1-2.2]) were associated with major misuse.
In this community-based cohort of HIV-infected indigent adults, participants reported high rates of opioid analgesic misuse both among those receiving prescription opioids from health care providers and among those who obtained opioids nonmedically. Despite high rates of known risk factors for opioid misuse (concurrent illicit substance use and depression), half the participants were prescribed opioids. Receipt of a prescribed opioid was independently associated with major misuse. These findings suggest that health care providers may not be optimally assessing and monitoring misuse risk. Consistent with previous studies,2,3 we identified modifiable risk factors for misuse, such as illicit substance use and depression. Our identification of current homelessness as a risk factor for misuse was novel; it is possible that the social disorganization associated with homelessness facilitates misuse or misuse behaviors pose barriers to housing.
Several factors could have influenced health care providers' decisions to prescribe opioids to high-risk individuals, including patients' severity of pain,8 limited access to pain specialists,8 and health care providers' limited ability to accurately assess for misuse.9 Our results suggest a need for strategies to assist health care providers with managing chronic pain in high-risk populations without increasing risk for misuse.
To our knowledge, no prior study has examined self-reported motivations for misuse. Previous studies characterized behaviors such as lying about pain symptoms to health care providers to get opioids or buying opioids from another person as behaviors related to poorly controlled pain or "pseudoaddiction."7 Our findings suggest a need for assessing the motivations for misuse rather than assuming that certain behaviors are pseudoaddictive. Our study had several limitations, including relying on self-reports of misuse. We used ACASI technology, which has been shown to minimize underreporting of stigmatized behaviors.
Our results suggest that health care providers need to be selective about using these medications among high-risk patients, assess for misuse prior to initiating treatment, and monitor for misuse during treatment of chronic pain.

"I said to Marian before the game she's done enough to have a season like this without undue criticism," Conradt said. "She's earned the right to have this kind of season. I hope people understand that."
The Jayhawks (5-24, 0-16 Big 12) last won on Dec. 29 against Morgan State. The last Big 12 team to go winless in conference play was Iowa State which went 0-14 in 1983-84 in the old Big Eight.
"I hope I never lose sight of what our major purpose is here at this university: to help these young people become good citizens" said Washington, who with 540 wins ranks 15th among active women's coaches.
"I'm real proud of each and every one of them," she said. "I know the job we do here and I don't think anybody does it better. Yes, this is a game and we want to win more then we lose. When it comes to helping young people grow as young people I don't think anybody does it better."
Stacy Stephens had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Tai Dillard added a career-high 15 points for the Longhorns. Texas (19-8, 10-6) lost four straight games at midseason, but has won five of its last six including wins over No. 3 Tennessee and No. 5 Oklahoma.
Dillard scored 12 points in the first half as Texas took a 28-26 halftime lead. The Longhorns extended their lead with a 13-2 run in the second half.
Stephens recorded her 13th double-double of the year and her league leading 10th double-double in Big 12 play.
(11) Colorado 84
Nebraska 60
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Jenny Roulier scored 17 points, and No. 11 Colorado hit eight of its first nine shots for a 22-4 start in an 84-60 victory Tuesday night over Nebraska in the final regular-season Big 12 game for both.
Colorado (21-8, 11-5) also got 16 points from Mandy Nightingale, 13 points and 10 rebounds from Tera Bjorkland and 10 points from Eisha Bohman.
Nebraska (12-13, 4-12) put together an 8-0 run to cut the Colorado lead to 22-16 on Greichaly Cepero's jumper with 11:05 left in the half. But the Buffs held the Cornhuskers to just one more basket the rest of the half and led 46-18 at the break. Colorado shot 68 percent in the first half to just 26 percent for Nebraska.
The Buffaloes outrebounded the Huskers 23-7 during the half. The Buffaloes cooled off a little in the second half, but Nebraska got no closer than 19 points. Keasha Cannon led Nebraska with 13 points. Shannon Howell added 12 and Margaret Richards 11.
