The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
I take it today's the day when everyone's supposed to be upbeat about Iraq, seeing as how Zarqawi was killed, and Iraqis across the country are, rightfully, ecstatic about the fact. Nevertheless, Terri Judd's report in the Independent on the state of women's rights deserves a reading:
Across Iraq, a bloody and relentless oppression of women has taken hold. Many women had their heads shaved for refusing to wear a scarf or have been stoned in the street for wearing make-up. Others have been kidnapped and murdered for crimes that are being labelled simply as "inappropriate behaviour". The insurrection against the fragile and barely functioning state has left the country prey to extremists whose notion of freedom does not extend to women.
In the British-occupied south, where Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army retains a stranglehold, women insist the situation is at its worst. Here they are forced to live behind closed doors only to emerge, concealed behind scarves, hidden behind husbands and fathers. Even wearing a pair of trousers is considered an act of defiance, punishable by death.Perhaps it's too obvious to need pointing out, but as a reminder, this is what's going on in Basra, the peaceful part of Iraq, where Shiites havefor the most partset up a stable Islamic government in the provinces and insurgent violence, while not eradicated, is at a minimum. In other words, this is what "victory" in Iraq would look like. According to Judd's interviews, people in Basra say that laws setting aside 25 percent of the legislative seats for women have been a "smokescreen," and it's been impossible for those in power to do much to improve women's rights in the region.

Miguel Nicolelis:
Brain-to-brain communication has arrived. How we did it
You may remember neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis — he built the brain-controlled exoskeleton that allowed a paralyzed man to kick the first ball of the 2014 World Cup. What's he working on now? Building ways for two minds (rats and monkeys, for now) to send messages brain to brain. Watch to the end for an experiment that, as he says, will go to "the limit of your imagination."

MILWAUKEE -- After missing last season recovering from a blood clot in his lung, Glendon Rusch is just happy to get back on the mound in a major league game.
Colorado gave him that chance Wednesday night and he won in his first start in exactly two years, leading the Rockies to an 8-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
"This whole year has been pretty special for me, just to come back and play," Rusch (2-3) said after giving up one run in six innings. "To come back and get a win as a starter, I don't even know how long it's been."
It was July 9, 2006, when Rusch beat the Brewers in his last start for the Chicago Cubs. He's made only one start since, taking a loss on May 31 for Colorado this year.
The left-hander pitched 12 games in relief for San Diego early in the season before being released. He was signed by the Rockies and recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday, just in time to dazzle the Brewers, who were 20-8 against left-handers coming into the game.
"We got a great start from Rusch," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "If you had told me before the game he'd give us six innings and give up only one run, and we'd be winning 3-1, I'd say 'Good for us.'
"He retired 11 of his last 12," Hurdle said. "Just what we needed."
The journeyman outdueled Ben Sheets, who struck out a season-high 11 over six innings. The right-hander (10-3) gave up three runs, five hits and two walks.
"You know you are going to have a tough time anytime you face him," said Rusch, who was Sheets' teammate with Milwaukee in 2002-03. "I know what kind of pitcher he is. You know you probably aren't going to have a big inning against him. We scraped a couple runs out against him late."
Rusch scattered five hits and had four strikeouts with no walks.
Garrett Atkins hit two home runs and had a single for Colorado.
Sheets recorded his first seven outs by swinging strikeout, giving up only a single to Matt Holliday and a walk to Chris Iannetta the first time through the Rockies' batting order. He left the game after throwing 110 pitches.
Atkins said the Rockies didn't mind striking out so much since it quickly elevated Sheets' pitch count.
"He was striking all of us out, but he was getting his pitch count up and couldn't go too long at that pace," Atkins said. "When you strike everybody out you have to throw a lot of pitches to do that. The guys did a good job of fouling some balls off. Even though he struck guys out, it took him five or six pitches to do it."
The Rockies led 4-3 going into the eighth, then took control with four runs off struggling reliever Guillermo Mota.
Atkins hit his second homer of the game, and 14th this season, with one out to make it 5-3.
"Atkins is killing us," Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said.
Brad Hawpe followed with a single, and Iannetta was credited with a triple when his line drive bounced past center fielder Mike Cameron and rolled to the wall, giving the Rockies a 6-3 lead. Joe Koshansky followed with a two-run homer.
In his last 12 appearances dating to June 6, Mota is 0-3 and has given up 14 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings.
Bill Hall hit a solo homer in the second to give Milwaukee the lead, but the Rockies came back with a run in the fifth and Atkins' two-run shot off Sheets in the sixth.
"I had my stuff throughout the game, I just made a (bad) pitch," Sheets said. "It wasn't like I got any worse. My stuff was good the whole time."
Holliday singled in the first to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. ... Before the game, the Rockies placed OF Ryan Spilborghs on the 15-day DL with a strained left oblique muscle. The team recalled OF Seth Smith from Triple-A Colorado Springs. ... The Brewers' bullpen had given up one earned run in 17 2/3 innings over the past five games before allowing five to Colorado.

As an existing estate agent have you always wanted to grow your revenue, reduce costs and increase your profits? Let us talk to you about our franchise proposition.
As part of the LSL Group, one of the UK's largest property services providers, we bring a wealth of expertise and support to assist in developing your company.
With the strength of our brand and support we can help maximise all income streams. Together we will unlock the opportunity for growth that exists in your local area.
Be part of an estate agency brand that has stood the test of time:
* Source: Hitwise Dec 2015
** Source: Research Bods Aug 2015
Be part of an Estate Agency brand that has been around for nearly 150 years.
With such a long heritage, it's not surprising that we have the highest awareness of all estate agent brands in the North of England at 70%. This, combined with our brand proposition, robust processes, marketing and technology, will help increase your market share and escalate your residential sales portfolio.
Join our rapidly growing, and award-winning lettings business. The Reeds Rains branch network currently manages in excess of 20,000 properties for landlords throughout the UK.
Consistently 'year on year', Reeds Rains has achieved 'double digit' growth with lettings revenue. With the size of the rental sector ever increasing we have invested heavily in technology and infrastructure to enable delivery of a first class service, and one which differentiates us from the competition.
The value attributed to a sizeable lettings portfolio can be significant. There has never been a better time to develop a lettings business with your estate agency.
Be part of our award winning Financial Services.
For six consecutive years Reeds Rains has received awards - The Sunday Times Estate Agent of the Year and 97% of our customers say they would recommend us to family and friends - so your customers can be confident they are in safe hands. Our franchise financial service proposition really supports you:
As part of the comprehensive Reeds Rains franchise model our aim is to give you the tools to maximise each opportunity you have with your clients. The increased value you offer a customer coupled with a simpler process will result in a stronger and lasting relationship. Our legal service is another area where, with our support, you can look after another part of the buying or selling process.
We operate a panel of national and regional lawyers who have teamed up with Reeds Rains to offer competitive rates for customers buying and selling. Through our wide reaching group relationships and economies of scale we have been able to secure terms which ensure we receive attractive referral fees for introducing branches.
As one of the largest and longest established estate agency brands in the UK, we have a dedicated marketing team whose primary objective is to raise brand awareness and generate branch leads.
We provide marketing solutions to capture the seasonal market changes and the different areas of focus. Using a range of advertising mediums including radio, digital, newspapers, and direct marketing our aim is to reach as far and wide as possible generating enquiries from buyers and sellers for Reeds Rains.
In 2016 we embarked upon an extensive radio advertisement and sponsorship programme on national stations such as Capital FM and Heart FM which has helped maintain awareness of the Reeds Rains brand - currently the highest of any agent in the North; in addition to generating leads for our branches.
At Reeds Rains we understand how important it is to give you every opportunity to succeed. You can benefit from centralised Royal Mail canvassing campaign drops every quarter, leaving you free to perform the more important task of building relationships with your customers.
With radio, sponsorship and direct marketing the Reeds Rains message has never been louder – but our ability to provide a positive impact on your business doesn't just stop there – we deliver these solutions to you at exceptionally good value.
With our relationships and group leverage the cost of advertising, marketing materials and delivery will be more cost effective than as a sole trader.
In addition to the above, as a Reeds Rains franchisee you will benefit from:
Jeremy Knight – I'm really pleased to be part of the Reeds Rains family.
Jeremy had been an estate agent since 1979 and, having worked for small and large corporate agencies decided, in 2005, to become a franchisee of Halifax Estate Agents which was subsequently bought by Reeds Rains parent company, LSL Property Services plc, in 2010. It was then that the true benefits of being a franchisee really revealed themselves as Jeremy explains:
"Having been involved with corporate agency for some time I suddenly decided that I wanted to walk away from the monotony of management meetings, unending internal emails and the general constraints of working for someone else - and turned to franchising as a way to do this.
Coming to Reeds Rains has meant I've not only been able to invest in a great brand but I've also been able to draw on their expertise in numerous areas.
Over the last year or so, for example, there has been impressive investment in IT and marketing which I have directly benefited from as well as the audits they perform which help me enormously in ensuring that I am operating in a compliant way but also providing help and support when needed.
Services on offer through Reeds Rains are well delivered and fully supported which means for me, as a franchisee, they are relatively easy to sell and also benefit from strong branding which, in itself, is a bonus. It makes me feel as though I'm part of one big organisation rather than 'just a franchised branch' which is a really good feeling.
All in all we work really well together and I'm really pleased to be part of the Reeds Rains family."
Stuart Macadam - I was influential in creating Reeds Rains franchising.
Stuart started his career in 1988 working for Natwest Bank and progressing through the ranks but it was in the late 1990s, when banking was going through big changes, that he decided to look for an alternative industry that would continue to keep his interest in financial services alive - in good and bad times - and when he turned to estate agency.
Stuart explains:
"People will always need to buy, sell, rent etc. so I thought estate agency would provide me with the perfect route to progress my career and draw on the skills I'd developed over the years. And it was Reeds Rains that provided me with the chance to do that.
I wanted more from my career – and it was me who suggested Reeds Rains franchising
As a mortgage advisor I initially worked in North Wales before moving to Chester and while, over the 15 years I was there, I established myself as the top performing mortgage advisor and won many awards as a result, I started to feel I wanted more from my career.
It was then that I enquired as to whether Reeds Rains had ever thought about franchising and, as they say, "the rest is history" with Reeds Rains franchising launching shortly afterwards. It could be my claim to fame that I was the instigator behind all of this.
It's been tough at times – but definitely worth it
To cut the story short I reserved a territory in 2005 and opened the, then, Ellesmere Port branch in 2007 with three staff and my wife and I working hard to keep the wheels turning. It was a tough few years with the economy conspiring against us but in 2012 the lease on our premises in Ellesmere Port ended and we were able to relocate to Little Sutton, which is a village 2 miles away from Ellesmere Port, where we could benefit from cheaper rent, rates etc. This is where we are to this day. We hope to open another branch within the next 12 months somewhere on the Wirral.
It gives me the ability to work the way I wish to.
The benefit that being a franchisee gives me is the ability to work the way that I wish to work and implement the many successful estate agency practices that I learnt from some of the best managers during my employment with Reeds Rains. Some of these practices are now no longer viewed as being the way to do things but, believe me, they work. The future is also in my hands. My income and that of my family is based on the effort that we put in.
During the bad times I do believe that the Reeds Rains name has helped us get to where we are today. Should we have been a 'one man band', the effect from the recession may have been a lot more pronounced.
My future aspirations are to open a small chain of branches on the Wirral and hope, with Reeds Rains support, I will achieve this."
Andrew Bailey
Andrew Bailey was originally a franchisee of Halifax Estate Agents before, in 2010, it was acquired by Reeds Rains parent company, LSL Property Services plc. It was at the time that he chose to stay with Reeds Rains and take advantage of the opportunities it presented and, as he explains, he is glad he did:
"I think being part of Reeds Rains simply provides the reassurance that you've always got a 'go to' place you can get support from and simply take the pressure - and the headache - off whether you need help with IT, marketing, legal or just the services you offer.
It's been worth its weight in gold.
My background, for example, was very much residential sales but with the support and encouragement of the Reeds Rains Franchise Operations Director and the background support of training, marketing, legal etc., I've now been able to develop a letting service too and, as a result, are reaping the benefits of the advice they gave.
It really has been worth its weight in gold. I can now rely on a regular income stream because of it, satisfy more customers with their property needs – which makes my agency more appealing - and have the advantage of a dedicated and highly experienced Lettings Centre available should I or my customers need it. It's great.
And there's more.
As well as a very lucrative lettings income I am also able to offer my customers a mortgage service –benefiting from the commission this brings but without the responsibilities, worry and cost of employing a mortgage advisor myself. Reeds Rains do all that and I simply provide a space in branch for them to operate - it's that easy. And, of course, there are many other additional income streams - including conveyancing, for example - I can benefit from by being part of Reeds Rains which add to my annual income and add to the 'one stop shop' approach that many customers like.
It takes the pressure off compared to setting up alone
Overall I'd say that, for an experienced estate agent who is looking to own their own business, Reeds Rains Franchising could provide the solution and could take the pressure off compared to 'going it alone'. You won't have the problems often associated with finding premises, setting up IT systems and a website, for example, because expert support is available to help to you and, of course, you'll be working with an established nationwide brand that immediately puts you 'on the map'.
I'm pleased I'm with Reeds Rains and with the aim to expand in the future, I am clearly seeing a bright future with them."
Reeds Rains Franchise, Dartford

McLaren has learned the lessons from the inaugural Indian Grand Prix last year and will ensure that the risks involved in getting to the circuit are reduced this year.
Put up in Delhi during the inaugural edition of the race, the team had to travel some 40kms-odd to the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, enduring some hair-raising experiences on the way.
"We are going to stay much closer to the circuit and not go in from New Delhi every day because the biggest peril to our life and limb was driving from New Delhi to the circuit," McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh told Reuters.
"I couldn't believe the first day. We were going down (the expressway)... in the fast lane, when suddenly I think 'That's a truck coming towards us on the wrong side of the road'," he recollected.
Whitmarsh and the team members thankfully survived the ordeal and after repeated instances realised that such hazards were a part of the country.
Another potential suffering listed on the menu was the chance of contracting 'Delhi Belly' although the Briton clarified that preventive measures to cover such outbreaks were a part of the team's checklist.
"We've got a number of precautions but probably less than the first year and if all goes well we will get even more complacent for the third trip, I expect," Whitmarsh pointed out.

By Kevin Binversie
Is a time-honored tradition of campaigns using incentives in their get-out-the-vote strategies now in jeopardy?
According to published reports, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office is conducting a John Doe investigation into the anti-abortion group Wisconsin Right to Life, or WRTL, and the Service Employees International Union's Wisconsin Jobs Now. Both have allegations against them of vote bribery.
For WRTL, the investigation is centering on incentives the group allegedly gave to volunteers helping it get out the vote. WRTL awarded $25 gas cards to volunteers if they had 15 would-be voters fill out absentee ballot applications in advance of the recall elections. As an added incentive, the volunteer who had the most absentee applications received a $75 gas card.
In the case of Wisconsin Jobs Now, the group is alleged to have set up a "BBQ for Votes" racket during the state senate recalls. Would-be voters got a ticket to a free picnic of Speed Queen Barbeque, an impromptu information session on the makeup of the ballot, and then a trip in white van to Milwaukee City Hall to vote. Steve Pickett, an elections specialist with the Government Accountability Board, the state's election agency, told MacIver News Service that if what Wisconsin Jobs Now is described as doing is correct, it may have committed an illegal activity. MacIver News Service is part of the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy, a conservative think tank based in Madison.
Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf is overseeing both investigations and offered no comment to Wisconsin Reporter on the John Does. It is illegal for anyone connected to a John Doe case to publicly comment.
At the heart of each matter is what dictates the line in the sand game of politics. For years, both sides of the aisle have done all sorts of things as incentives to reach the most voters. Free T-shirts to volunteers, paid pizza parties for the campaign field office with the most voter contacts made by making phone calls or knocking on doors days before election, or visits from high-profile political VIPs are examples.
President of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and Marquette University law professor Rick Esenberg said there is a clear distinction between incentives for volunteers and outright vote bribery.
"What is prohibited is an inducement for the voter to vote or refrain from voting and not the inducement of people to participate in getting others out to vote" said Esenberg, "When people get together to do the latter, it's an exercise of their constitutional freedom of association."
If WRTL and Wisconsin Jobs Now are guilty of what they are each accused of or something more heinous, then they should be prosecuted under the law. But if one or the other was engaged in legal get-out-the-vote activities, let us all question if the complaints were legitimate or just another level in the tit-for-tat that has become politics in the Badger State circa 2011.
Kevin Binversie is a Wisconsin native who has been blogging on the state's political culture for more than eight years. He has served in the George W. Bush administration from 2007-2009, worked at the Heritage Foundation and has worked on numerous Wisconsin Republican campaigns in various capacities, most recently as research director for Ron Johnson for Senate.

Cancel/Delay Playstation Plus Membership
So I just subscribed to Playstation Plus last month and like clock work my PS3 got the YLOD. It's dead. I downloaded some things from PS+ but I didn't use make any cloud saves (regretting that now). I already know that I am going to buy a PS4, which is why I got plus to begin with, but I am not sure when. Probably sooner now since I got no console to use now. I would like to get a new PS3 but I can't float the cost of both right now so probably not gonna happen any time soon if at all. Is there a way to delay my membership so I don't lose the 5 or more months of not being able to use the service until I get my PS4 or do I need to just cancel it and resubscribe later? And if I do need to cancel how can I do that without acess to my or any other PS3?
Also, is there any way to send messages to people I am friends with on my PS3 through my laptop so that I can notify them that I will not be on for the foreseeable future?
Check out my weekly gaming blog on IGN: http://www.ign.com/blogs/djmmt

Re: Cancel/Delay Playstation Plus Membership
Re: Cancel/Delay Playstation Plus Membership[ Edited ]
There's no point in trying to cancel really, you won't get your money back. You can try and call Sony to see if they would cancel it, but as I said, your money won't be returned to you. However you can still redeem your plus games by going here https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com that way you would already have them redeemed and only need to download them when you get your new PS3.

Date of Stay: September, 2012
This campground really is on Bradley Cove Road despite the fact that some maps indicate otherwise . It was beautiful and clean with friendly people. Some other parks had filled up with temporary residents working at the nuclear plant due to an outage there. Ivy's Cove left a few spots open for traveling campers which was nice of them. The campground has very open spaces, level and easy to get in and out of. Private bathrooms and showers made you feel right at home. There's a little library area with local coupons from newspapers left for anyone's use. Just a great place.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Make sure you turn left into this park and not the one across to the right as you cross the interstate bridge of I-40. Spaces were easy in and out, yet close but no problem to us. Met nice neighbors as always. We came in without reservations and stayed 4 days(should have made them) and they worked us in. Seems a lot of long time residents have reserved sites. Don't complain about the buffalo herd being little...remember you are in or near downtown OKC and there's little open pasture for them to roam!

Side-effects reported overseas "include growth failure and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, resulting in acute hypoglycaemia, altered consciousness and coma, convulsions and death", he wrote.
The paper said that, in adolescents and young adults, 90 per cent of the maximum benefit was being achieved with one-quarter of the recommended adult dose.
Dr Abe Rubinfeld, of the Royal Melbourne Hospital, said steroids to control asthma had produced a miraculous effect, cutting hospital admissions, reducing deaths and allowing people to lead better lives.
But with Australia's high rate of asthma, more steroid drugs had been used, especially the inhaled version, the side-effects of which are less pronounced than oral steroids, he said.
"And because specialists have used higher and higher doses (on patients) there has been a tendency in the general community to use higher doses for run-of-the-mill patients with mild asthma," he said.
A paper accompanying yesterday's journal published the findings of a childhood asthma meeting in February. Among its conclusions were:
The paper said breastfeeding for the first three to six months of life and not smoking during pregnancy and infancy could prevent asthma.
In addition, eating fish could help protect children from asthma and could also protect a pregnant woman's unborn child, the paper said.

B-School Twitter Roundup: 13,155 Hours of ConsultingAlison Damast
This week's Twitter roundup of happenings in the business school world includes a Duke MBA alum who made an appearance on the Today Show, an MIT student launching a business in Sierra Leone, and students at Thunderbird who logged more consulting hours than some consultants.
Kate Finnegan, a 2010 MBA alum of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and co-founder of Hukkster, a website that alerts shoppers when items they covet drop in price, was recently on the Today Show to promote her e-commerce startup (@DukeFuqua, 12/3).
A team of five undergraduate students from Northwestern University, including three in the Kellogg Graduate School of Management's Certificate Program for Undergraduates in Financial Economics, won first place in the College Fed Challenge last week for their take on improving the economy and formulating monetary policy (@KelloggSchool, 12/1).
Ankur Kumar, admissions director at the University of Pennslyvania's Wharton School, shares her thoughts on the school's new policy of inviting some of its most promising applicants to campus to work as a team to find a solution to real-world business scenarios (@wharton, 11/30).
Students in the Thunderbird Emerging Markets Laboratory class performed 13,155 hours of consulting in the 2011-12 fiscal year, according to the Thunderbird School of Global Management's 2012 Global Impact Report (@Thunderbird, 11/30).
Ben Guest, associate director of admissions at Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business, shares some tips on how business school applicants can network with school representatives they meet at information sessions and MBA fairs, a part of the admissions process he says is often overlooked by candidates (@RiceMBA, 11/30).

The topic of, "who is to blame for the carnage in Gaza" undoubtedly will be a major source of discussion and the media in the coming days, weeks, and months. Who fired the first shot? Or, who began the slaughter of the innocent? In reality, those who support Palestinians will blame Israel, and Israel will blame Hamas. Frankly, at this point such discussion engages people in the wrong issue at the wrong time. The only issue at this juncture is to end the slaughter of the innocent. There was a 72 hour ceasefire which was designed to lower anger as well as lower the number killed and wounded. So, what do Hamas soldiers do? They decide to attack Israel soldiers and kidnap one. Another example of the ineptness of Hamas leaders. Once gaining control of Gaza they should have focused their entire energy into transforming this piece of desert into a thriving community. A leader of Hamas has only one thing on his agenda–fighting and killing Israelis and destroying Israel.
At no point do Hamas leaders inhabit the world of reality. Israel will not disappear. Hey fellow, Israel has ATOMIC BOMBS. Do you jokers doubt for a moment that an Israeli government confronted with destruction would avoid using those weapons of mass destruction? The nightmare for Hamas is that Israel WOULD be confronted with losing. Such an event would result in mass destruction of Hamas and all living in Gaza. It is time for those who lead Hamas to wake up to reality. Israel is here to stay. You guys have no such guarantee. Switch from weapons of destruction to weapons of economics. Create a modern economically successful Gazas and Muslims will flock to your banner.

Camille Grammer Apologizes For Comments About Kelsey Grammer's "Size"
This week the promo for Season 2 of RHOBH was released and Camille Grammer was caught describing her ex-husband as "big hands, big feet, big disappointment." Now—less than 24 hours after it aired—Camille has made a public apology to Kelsey Grammer via TMZ. The housewives star says, "Some joking remarks I made to Kyle Richards got picked up and caused my ex-husband great embarrassment and for that I sincerely apologize."
PHOTOS: RHOBH Stars At The Hudson Hotel
Kelsey's new and much younger wife, Kayte Walsh, had a few words to say about Camille's less than flattering comments: "'Perhaps the fault lies not so much with the member in question but rather with the inspiration at hand." Although Camille, pictured at the NBC press tour with fellow cast members, has yet to react to Kayte's rebuke, she has admitted that the divorce process is difficult:
Kelsey just seems to want to fight this. I offered a 50/50 physical split with joint custody and was soundly rejected. Now he will only communicate through lawyers and others and I fear the message we're sending our children.
PHOTOS: RHOBH Stars At Perez Hilton's Birthday Party
Kelsey recently revealed he is going to run for political office, which sparked ridicule by cast members of The Real Housewives. Kyle Richards commented that "He's got to learn how to run a family first before he can run a city," while Lisa Vanderpump said she'd "be voting for him with a kick up the ass."

PASADENA - The crowning moment for Rose Queen Evanne Elizabeth Friedmann arrived Thursday, officially beginning the 17-year-old La Cañada High School senior's reign over the 122nd Rose Parade.
In a coronation ceremony at the Pasadena Convention Center, Tournament of Roses President Jeffrey L. Throop placed the elaborate - and new - crown on the queen's head.
``The ladies that stood before us today were beautiful, smart and poised,'' Throop said of the Royal Court members. ``We are so honored to have them as a part of our Tournament of Roses family. They will continue to be excellent ambassadors of the Tournament of Roses. We could not be more proud.''
Evanne and the Royal Court wore halter-necked gowns designed by Tadashi Shoji for the ceremony.
Chosen from more than 1,000 young women in a month-long series of tryouts, the court members will attend about 150 events leading up to the Jan. 1 Rose Parade, themed ``Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories.''
The queen will be accompanied by Rose Princesses Tatyane Anaid Berrios, 17, of Arcadia High School; Sarah Christine Fredrickson, 17, of Maranatha High School; Jessica Michelle Montoya, 17, of Flintridge Preparatory School; Tenaya Miyoko Senzaki, 17, of Pasadena High School; Kathryn Morris Thomson, 17, of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy; and Michelle Kaye Washington, 18, of Pasadena City College.

Students Prep for FCAT Changes
The stakes are now going to be higher than ever before for school kids taking the FCAT next week. Alachua County School Board Officials say this year, schools, teachers and students will be affected by the test results. Now that students are back from spring break, its time to break out the textbooks.
Parents were waiting to pick up their kids after they had a week off from school and now students at Talbot Elementary are getting ready for the FCAT.
"Our Teachers are going to give us packets," Anna Slayton, 5th Grader at Talbot Elementary said.
Slayton said she thought last year's test was simple.
"Its not like most teachers they over react about it," she said.
Her sister who's taking the test the first time is anxious.
"I'm kind of afraid because I never taken it before, kind of nervous about it," Sara Slayton said
Alachua County School Leaders say there's a change to the F-CAT this year. Everyone will be affected from schoools to teachers to even students.
"I'm just scared that I'm going to fail it," Sara Slayton said.
School leaders say the test is tougher and kids will have to score higher because the state raised the standards. If students don't pass they may not be able to move to the next level, which means no electives and they'll have to take remedial courses. Teachers can either be rewarded or penalized based on the scores. School leaders say this test will make it harder fro schools to earn a higher grade.
The Slayton's say their preparation will pay off next week.
"I hope I pass," Sara Slayton said.
In hopes to moving up to the next grade.
School leaders say they don't teach the test but one way the Slayton's prepare is by going online to take practice questions on FCAT Explorer. Students will take the test next week.

BlackBerry scraps plan to bring BB10 to PlayBook in signal it will kill off tablet
Facebook | Twitter | Google+ | Email
The Canadian Press
Friday, Jun. 28, 2013
Sorry PlayBook users, no BlackBerry 10 update is on the way for you. Denis Doyle/Bloomberg
BlackBerry scrapped plans to offer an operating system update for its PlayBook tablet on Friday, signalling that it will eventually clear the sales flop from its line of products entirely.
Earlier this year, chief executive Thorsten Heins said an update to the PlayBook was on its way, though at the company's recent conference in Florida, he pulled back on those guarantees before completely ruling them out.
"Our teams have spent a great deal of time and energy looking at solutions that could move the BlackBerry 10 experience to PlayBook but unfortunately I am not satisfied with the level of performance and user experience and I made the difficult decision to stop these efforts and focus on our core hardware portfolio," he said in the company's first-quarter conference call Friday.
BlackBerry generated a net loss of US$84-million, or 16¢ per diluted share, in the quarter after notching a US$94-million profit in the previous quarter. In the same quarter last year, BlackBerry posted a loss of US$510-million, or 97 cents per share diluted.
Although BlackBerry reported revenue of US$3.1-billion, up 15% from the US$2.68-billion the company generated in the previous quarter, sales fell short of analyst expectations. Wall Street analysts had expected BlackBerry to report revenue of roughly US$3.4-billion, with earnings of about 8¢ per share, according to Bloomberg estimates.
BlackBerry said it sold 6.8 million BlackBerry smartphones in the quarter, which also fell short of analyst estimates which anticipated sales of more than seven million units.

AIDS is killing our community, and no one wants to talk about it," Debbie Golden says.
As a third-generation resident of Dania, a seaside city sandwiched between Fort Lauderdale and Miami that was founded by African-American sharecroppers more than a century ago, Golden has a hometown girl's insight on how to spread her message. After testing HIV positive four years ago, she organized an AIDS ministry at her church, where she now leads educational outreach seminars. Backed by the bluesy gospel rock of her church choir, she brings the facts about HIV to her neighbors. "Music takes me to a peaceful place where there's no suffering," says Golden. "When I've lost friends, I go back to the choir and it helps me understand that the fight is not a losing battle, but something worth fighting for."
Golden's group presentations have an advantage over one-on-one counseling: She can reach more people in less time. "I'm constantly getting calls from women who were just infected and think it's a death sentence," says Golden, 35. "When I come home from work at night, they're on my doorstep, looking for information."
Information on treatment and prevention is only the first step. Golden also addresses the cultural issues that can make it difficult for African-American women to take care of themselves. "We were always taught that the men rule the house and whatever they say goes, so instead of starting a domestic quarrel, women just sit back and go along with the program," she says.
Golden says her workshops offer women a chance to speak up without the risk of angering their spouses. In response to a recent participant's timidly posed question, "How can we get our men to use condoms?" Golden advised the women to incorporate the condom into lovemaking, broaching the subject with their lovers when the mood is sexy and warm.
Whether or not you stand by your man, Golden stresses that taking care of yourself comes first. "If you don't make the decision for the guy to use a condom, you're putting a gun to your head," she says. "Some of us learned the hard way."
With a CD4 count of 764 and an undetectable viral load, Golden is currently medication-free, and she attributes her health as much to her honesty as to her careful diet and exercise regimen. "A lot of people give up when they're diagnosed with HIV," she says. "But I believe that if you don't run from it, you'll live longer."
That's the gift she hopes she can give other women. "Women in the black community don't know what resources are available," she says. Good thing Golden is there to tell them, backup singers and all.

Everybody knows how stellar the line-up is for Just For Laughs' paying shows. This summer, during the festival's 30th anniversary, you can see none other than The Muppets, Bob Saget and Chelsea Handler. But how about this for a punch line: paying is for suckers. Especially when you can experience a Cirque du Soleil-inspired parade, outdoor movie screenings and hundreds of cheerleaders doing something or other, all without dropping a dime…
Just For Laugh's free outdoor programming centres around Terra Karnaval this year, an umbrella event produced by Roy Box and Les Arts Carnavalent under the tutelage of Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. Starting on July 14, the event involves performances in the street starring a character called Iro, as well as acrobats, clowns and circus performers galore from the four corners of the globe. From July 15 to 28, six big shows a night will take place on the Place des Festivals starting at 9 pm.
Terra Karnaval is also behind this year's annual mega-parade, where over a thousand Montrealers from far and wide march down the street. Last year's extravaganza was, as you can see in the video above, inspired and presided over by Jean Paul Gaultier, while the 2012 theme is "New Wolds", and the tableaux were inspired by children's drawings. Check it out along Sainte-Catherine Street on July 14, starting at 8:30 pm.
Another parade not to miss is the annual twins parade, on July 22, which this year will gather hundreds and hundreds of international twins dressed up as clowns, thanks to the theme, Qui dit un, dit deux! Qui dit clone, dit clown! Stephen King, eat your heart out.
More along the lines of fantasy than nightmare, Just For Laughs will be trying to break a Guinness record by uniting the most cheerleaders together ever in one single choreography on its Videotron stage. Right in the heart of things, that's a good go-to stage throughout the fest: apart from nightly Terra Karnaval shows it's also home to acrobatic performances including an otherworldly spectacle by the famous Voàla Project and the Grand Jam 3.0, on July 21, a grandiose, high-coloured show during which Karaval performers will celebrate Just For Laughs' 30-year mark.
On the Loto-Québec stage meanwhile, you can see live comedy and musical happenings, mostly by local performers including Réal Béland, Maxim Martin, Mike Ward, the Denis Drolet duo and musician-magician extraordinaire Socalled.
And, in an exciting first for the fest's outdoor fun, are the free movie projections: flicks like Singin' in the Rain, The Artist and The Muppets (July 23, 24 & 25 at 9 p.m., Place des Festivals) will be a sweet reason to carry popcorn in your pocket. It might also come in handy to leave a trail for yourself out of the giant, 900-square foot hedge labyrinth that's right there on the Promenade des Artistes. In other words: at Just For Laughs, you'll get lost in the fun!
Just For Laughs Festival, July 10-29, 2012

st: Hausman Test when the RE OLS model includes time-constant variables
"Pavlos C. Symeou" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
st: Hausman Test when the RE OLS model includes time-constant variables
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:24:27 +0100
Dear Statalisters,
I have a question regarding the Hausman specification test. I want to include in my OLS model 7 time-constant variables which depict the industry classification of a firm. In order to use the Hausman test, I first estimate the FE model, I store the estimation results, then run the RE model and finally ask Stata for the estimation of the Hausman test. As it is expected, the time-constant variables are dropped from the FE model but not from the RE. This implies that the Hausman test compares two different models; one with time-constant variables and one without. The Hausman test rejects the RE model. If I omit the time-constant variables from the two models, then the Hausman test compares comparable models and still rejects the RE model. Yet, inclusion of the time-constant variables in the OLS model is important for its correct specification so I interact these variables with year dummies and include the interaction variables (and exclude the original time-constant variables) in both FE and RE models. I rerun the Hausman test which now rejects the FE in favor of the RE model. I am confronted here with a dilemma where I can only perform the Hausman test if I interact my time-constant variables with year dummies, but what I actually need from my final model is the inclusion of the original time-constant variables, which however leads to the wrong estimation of the Hausman test.
I would appreciate if you could advise on this. Should I arbitrarily choose the RE model that can involve the time-constant variables in its estimation? Otherwise?

One Shots!
Book by: ashleytheunicorn
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Chapter1 (v.1) - One Shots!
// Starbucks One Shot.//
Selena sighed and let out a breath of warm air, her breath forming a small mist in front of her mouth. It was the middle of December, and she was walking home from school late at night. The only
light was the dim light providing from the fulll moon. She pulled out her cellphone to call her sister, Nicole, but saw she had no battery left. She let out a groan of frustration and saw a
Starbucks down the road from where she was standing. She pulled her plain gray hoodie closer to her and walked towards the small Starbucks shop, needing something warm. As soon as she opened the
front door, she was greeted by warmth.
Parker was working late at a small Starbucks in downtown Mooresville. There was no one at the shop, except him and a guy named Joseph. Parker looked up from his phone as he heard the front door open. A girl about his age walked in, and Parker couldn't help but stare at the beauty. Her golden brown hair fell a little ways past her shoulders. She wore black skinny jeans and a gray hoodie, her eyes shielded by black rimmed square glasses.
Selena walked up to the counter at Starbucks and noticed the worker was staring at her. She waved a hand in front of the boy's face and bit her bottom lip gently. "Hello? I'd like to order." The boy snapped out of his little trance and smiled at Selena. "What would you like?" Selena told him her order. A Grande Mocha Frappuccino.
As Parker was making the girl's order, he looked over at her. "So, Selena, what are you doing out so late?" Selena shifted her glasses so they were up to her eyes again. He noticed a book in her hands and glanced at it, seeing it was 'The Hunger Games.' Selena sighed lightly. "I'm coming home from school. I stayed after so I could tutor a friend. My sister didn't come pick me up like she was supposed to." Parker finished her order and handed it to her, his number written on the bottom. "Oh. Do you need a ride or something? I mean, I've seen you around school an-" his words got cut off my Selena speaking.
"You've noticed me? I didn't think anyone noticed me. But, sure, Parker. I'd love a ride home."

last update:Oct 2, 2014
"Despite U.S. permitting and regulatory issues that continued for almost two years involving transportation of facility modules, our project team achieved industry-leading safety performance, and mitigated significant challenges, including an early onset of winter and exceptionally harsh weather during current start-up operations," said Imperial Oil in a fourth-quarter financial report.
"We continue to focus on completing start-up safely, and expect production of mined diluted bitumen from the first froth treatment train in this quarter."
At the end of 2012, construction of the Kearl initial development was complete.
Phased start-up activities are underway. Currently, Imperial's first priority is completing start-up activities safely, which includes mitigating the impacts of abnormally cold weather on both workers and equipment.
The first phase of the $8 billion Kearl oilsands project was approved by the board in May 2009.
But, Imperial changed its development plan from three phases to two in May 2011, which will increase capacity to 145,000 barrels per day from the initial estimate of 110,000.
At this time, the new cost of construction for the initial phase was estimated to be $10.9 billion. Imperial announced that the final cost for the Kearl initial development is expected to be $12.9 billion.
Imperial Oil, which is a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp., awarded a US$250 million contract to a South Korean manufacturer Sungjin Geotec Co to supply 207 giant pre-assembled modules to the Kearl oilsands project.
Imperial arranged for the first 33 modules to arrive in the Port of Vancouver, Washington in late 2010, as part of the first phase of construction. These modules were transported by barge on the Columbia and Snake Rivers to Lewiston, Idaho and were supposed to move along U.S. Highway 12 to Montana.
However, delays in the permitting process from legal challenges in Idaho and Montana forced Imperial Oil to reduce the size and weight of the shipments and obtain permits for a new route.
Imperial employed more than 200 people to break the modules into 60 smaller shipments.
Disassembling and reassembling the modules involved 5,000 to 6,000 person-hours of work and was estimated to cost at least $500,000 each.
This new approach allowed imperial to transport the modules on US 95 in Idaho, then east along I-90 through Idaho and Montana, and north on I-15 to the Canadian border.
More importantly, Imperial shipped the remaining loads from the Port of Pasco, WA, by truck on US 395 in Washington and along I-90 through Washington, Idaho and Montana, then north on I-15 to the Canadian border.
Together, the initial development and expansion projects will develop 3.2 billion barrels at a unit development cost of about $6.80 per barrel.
This is up 10 percent from the prior estimate of $6.20 per barrel driven by the cost to re-sequence work from the module transportation issues and the early onset of winter and harsh weather during start-up. Start-up of the expansion project is planned in 2015.

Pressure grew on the UN over its peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo yesterday after claims that it ignored appeals for protection just days before more than 240 villagers were raped by rebel forces.
Human rights groups said the UN was still failing to safeguard civilians after 11 years in Congo and demanded an urgent review. A British MP said the best solution now lay in seeking military support from Congo's neighbour, Rwanda.
The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, has sent his assistant secretary general for peacekeeping, Atul Khare, to investigate the alleged lack of action from the Congo stabilisation mission, Monusco, the world's biggest peacekeeping mission, which costs .35bn (£865m) a year.
The attacks took place between 30 July and 4 August, and the number of reported victims is now 242, ranging from a month-old baby boy to a 110-year-old woman. Survivors have accused the FDLR rebel group – which is led by perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide who fled to Congo – along with Congolese Mai-Mai militia.
Charles Masudi Kisa said his Walikale Civil Association sounded the alarm on 25 July, telling local authorities that the withdrawal of soldiers from several outposts was putting people in danger of attacks from rebels. The military had abandoned every post from Luvungi to just outside Walikale for unclear reasons, he said.
On 29 July, acting on information from motorcycle taxis, he warned the UN civil affairs bureau in Walikale, the army and the local administration that rebels were moving in on Luvungi. "We told them these people were in danger," he said.
Lyn Lusi, programme manager of the Heal Africa hospital in Goma, which treated many of the rape victims, said appeals had gone unheeded. "There was a warning it was going to happen," she said. "They took it to the FARDC [Congolese army] and nothing was done."
Lusi said Khare had announced that the UN would clarify its rules of engagement so that peacekeepers could intervene more aggressively. The UN was unable to confirm this.
Monusco insists it was not told of the attacks for more than a week, despite having a base just 20 miles from Luvungi.
Roger Meece, the UN mission chief in Congo, said UN peacekeepers in the area did not learn about the rape and looting spree until 12 August. Two UN officials in Kinshasa told the Associated Press they heard it from media reports, even though the UN's small civil affairs office in Walikale is charged with protecting civilians.
Ellie Kemp, Oxfam policy head in Congo, said she understood there was no community liaison interpreter for the Monusco unit based near Walikale, making it difficult for villagers to convey warnings. She said one had since been assigned.
"There is a whole series of problems that the UN has been aware of for years," Kemp added. "Soldiers on the ground don't know what's needed of them."
She called for the UN to launch a public inquiry into the mission. "It shouldn't take this kind of incident to make the UN listen to its own advice. Why the hell hasn't it happened?"
Others joined the criticism. Sipho Mthathi, the South Africa director of Human Rights Watch, said: "Civilian protection has remained one of the biggest problems in the DRC and has been one of the biggest failures by the UN as well as the Congolese military. The UN lacks capacity to gather enough intelligence to act proactively. They often feel that if they come in they will be outnumbered by the FDLR. If the UN missions and Congolese army are not capable of protecting civilians then there has to be another way."
Erwin van der Borght, the Africa programme director at Amnesty International, said: "[We call] for an immediate review of the failures of the DRC government and the UN to protect civilians during the mass rape and other sexual violence committed in the Walikale region of North Kivu between 30 July and 2 August, specifically in light of media reports that the UN might have received information at an early stage that civilians were at risk of violence by armed groups."
Congo's army and Monusco have been unable to defeat the few thousand rebels responsible for the conflict in eastern Congo, fuelled by the vast mineral reserves. Monusco has been accused of supporting army units responsible for grave atrocities. The Congolese government wants it to withdraw next year.
Eric Joyce MP, chair of the all-party parliamentary group on the Great Lakes Region, said: "Monusco seem completely and utterly impotent," he said. "They do their best under constraints, but they are thinly spread and don't have fighting troops as Rwanda could provide. The international community needs Rwanda to do something about the FDLR."

Nov. 17, 2010
Pat Summitt Teleconference
Opening Statement: "I thought in our Chattanooga game we really played really well together. That was much needed, to work together as a team. Obviously shooting the ball very well covers up all the work out there. Overall, I thought it was a good way to get some confidence and I thought we played really well together and got everybody quality playing time. With Virginia, I'm getting ready to look at them. They've obviously been successful against us. I know it's going to be a great challenge. We have to be prepared, particularly our defense, board play, and ball security. It's going to be a good test for our team. I think that it is going to be something that is beneficial to us, to play a quality team. Coach Ryan is no stranger to Thompson-Boling Arena. She does a great job preparing her team. That right now is the first and foremost thing on our minds. Arizona State, we have tremendous respect for their team and their program and how they play. They do great job spacing, inside/outside attacking. They always have great shooters and just toughness about them. Our next two games are going to tell us a lot about our basketball team."
On the starting line up from the Chattanooga game: "I liked it. You always like it if you get off to a good start. I thought Shekinna Stricklen did a good job; she will have to be mindful of not fouling. I like her at the point because she can see over people. Certainly Meighan Simmons has continued to be very impressive. Angie (Bjorklund) seemed to relax a little more. Meighan has probably helped that out a little bit. The two of them shot very well. Kelley (Cain) on the inside, I think we have to get more touches. Kelley has to be more aggressive. She turned down a lot of shots. With her size and skill around the basket she needs to take some ownership. A-Town (Alicia Manning) did a really good job on the boards."
On Meighan Simmons' start: "She's playing with tremendous confidence and shooting the ball really well. There's no friction between her and the team. I think they are so excited about what she is bringing to the team. She may shoot that well consistently, but if she doesn't she knows she has to be mindful of playing great defense and rebounding. I think she's got a really good basketball IQ. As long as she's not trying to do too much - that's just a feel thing from the coaching staff and just really managing with her as she plays each and every game."
On Simmons' playing both sides of the floor: "She's playing both sides of the ball. Because she's so light on her feet and has so much energy and passion for the game, she doesn't take possessions off. She's going to continue to have an effect on our team. You can't watch her and not be excited about what she brings to the court and to our team.
On Simmons' energy level: "She's got high energy, she's passionate about the game, she's so light on her feet and so quick. She is athletic. I've been very, very excited by what she brings and also impressed with how she handles herself. It doesn't seem to affect our team in a negative way but in a very positive way. I know (Shekinna) Stricklen is so excited by how she is playing.
On Taber Spani and Alicia Manning off the bench: "This isn't etched in stone - the lineup. It does speak to our depth and what we can bring off the bench. That's what I like about this team right now. We didn't know a year ago what we know now, how many players have matured and stepped up - those who will take control of their game and really contribute to our team."
On getting whether the Lady Vols need to get Kelley Cain more shot attempts around basket: "Absolutely. We get her the ball and she is in a great position and she kicks out and reposts. That's something that can be corrected immediately. She has to know she has a significant role as our go to post. She has help from Glory (Johnson) and when Vicki (Baugh) is back in the mix, as well. The potential depth we can have, I think Kelley has to take a little more pride with getting touches and finishing."
When Kelley (Cain) and Vicki (Baugh) aren't in the game, is the post game a concern? "We don't have the size factor when we're playing smaller. Hopefully, when we get healthy - when Vicki (Baugh) is back and Lyssi (Brewer) is ready to play, we'll have four solid post players that we can rotate and keep players fresh, and that really excites me."
On helping raise other programs by traveling and playing them? "Arizona State is a solid team, and is well-coached. I like their commitment to play together and play both ends of the floor. It's a tough matchup, because of how they play. I think we learned from being able to go out there and play, that they understand how to compete and also to be efficient. They shoot the ball well and they go inside-out. Their guards play very solid every year. I haven't had a chance to see them this year, but I'm going to do my homework after we get past Virginia. It is a touch matchup and especially if we don't pick up early and do a good job on the defensive end and have some level of control on the boards."
On Monday night vs. Chattanooga: "I felt pretty good about our bench play. Not across the board, but for the most part. I thought we were ready to come in and contribute. I like the depth. We talk to our team about it - when you have that much depth, sometimes people can get complacent. I think they understand, `when I come off the bench, I better be ready - otherwise then it is going to be short minutes and someone is going to come in.' With the depth factor it has been pretty positive for us."
On Vicki Baugh and Lauren Avant: "I told our trainer there is no rush whatsoever for either of those two players right now. We just want them healthy. We are a better team when they are healthy. We don't want to fast forward anything. We just want them to take their time with their rehab work."
On a typical day at campus for her: "It varies. Today I had an early appointment in the morning. I'll watch tape and do a workout. I've got to do a function on campus at noon for Joan Cronan, our Athletics Director. After that I'll go to the gym and get ready for practice and meet with my staff. We will watch tape, which is what we typically do before we take the court and start our practice."
Difference now from teaching classes early in her career and coaching to now:
"It's a breath of fresh air. I have more time to plan and practice. Still one thing that's on my plate a lot is doing things in the community, which I am grateful that we have such great support here at Tennessee. Our fans are just tremendous. Along with that comes some responsibility to doing some community things. For example, working with UT hospital, which is one of my top charities right now. I like that and I have met a lot of wonderful people through it. I want to give back to this community. This community really embraces all of our sports, and we benefit from it. I liked teaching, whether it was in the classroom our not; however, I liked teaching on the court better. To be able to have the time now to sit and watch tape with individual players, that is a great teaching tool and learning time for individuals and the team. We watch a lot of tape now. I don't know what we did before tape. I guess we guessed a lot. You can see it, they can take videos with them and watch it and come and give us feedback. They have to arrive at what they see, it is better when they're really invested in learning the sets and we are not spoon feeding the players."

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (Blu-Ray) Product Description
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play.
The wizards of stop-motion mirth at Britain's Aardman Animations have significantly stepped up their art, craft, and storytelling style in The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. Commonly known as Claymation (though the elaborately rendered miniature sets and figures are constructed with high-tech Plasticine), the process involves painstaking manipulation of physical forms to create the smooth movements and clever nuance of character that made Aardman famous with their iconic Wallace & Gromit shorts and the features Chicken Run and Flushed Away. The source material is a series of books by Gideon Defoe that are of the for-kids-and-grownups-alike variety, which means The Pirates! is perfect family fare that has plenty of intelligent asides to counterbalance the wacky and slapstick shenanigans. The story is set on the tropical high seas and in the heart of Victorian London, where Queen Victoria herself (voiced by Imelda Staunton) has a starring role. The movie takes giddy pleasure in making her out to be a nefarious no-goodnik who has plenty of secrets, though none of the lacy unmentionable variety. The real star is the Pirate Captain (a husky-sounding Hugh Grant) who's more interested in procuring cured pork for his ship's regular "Ham Nite" feasts than plundering for valuable booty. This becomes kind of a problem when he enters the Pirate of the Year contest and finds himself up against the stiff competition of Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven), Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), and Peg Leg Hastings (Lenny Henry), all of whom have oodles of jewels and doubloons to back up their bids.
But the Pirate Captain has a bird in the hand that may win him the prize yet. His ship's mascot Polly is not a parrot as he and the crew believe, but rather the world's only surviving dodo, so identified by Charles Darwin (David Tennant) when his famous ship the Beagle is attacked by the pirates. Darwin assures the captain that Polly is worthy of winning him Scientist of the Year and untold riches. So it's off to London and into the malevolent schemes of both Darwin and Victoria. A madcap series of events leads to an air-sea showdown of breathtaking proportions that blends meticulous stop-motion technique with top-flight CG effects. Throughout the movie the attention to detail is sensational, even in the most throwaway gags. An underlying cleverness is woven into every precisely composed scene, adding to the overall sense of comic timing and the meticulous elements of story that imbue every movement. The laughs come fast and furious, especially in several elaborate set pieces that include a wild bathtub ride down a seemingly endless staircase, and the bravura finale that swoops and soars through, over, and around Victoria's behemoth of a steampunk sea vessel. The speed of the jokes and the sophisticated action never overshadow the wildly amusing story and dotingly-thought-out character details. Among the lovable and eloquently voiced ensemble pirate crew are the Pirate with a Scarf (Martin Freeman), the Albino Pirate (Anton Yelchin), the Pirate with Gout (Brendan Gleeson), the Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate (Ashley Jensen), and the Pirate Who Likes Sunsets and Kittens (Al Roker). But more than anyone it's co-directors Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt who are primarily responsible for deftly keeping The Pirates! afloat in what could easily become another memorable Aardman franchise. --Ted Fry

That is so nice... You are a very special person to do this... It is such a pretty quilt and I will enjoy watching it as it progresses..
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That is so nice... You are a very special person to do this... It is such a pretty quilt and I will enjoy watching it as it progresses..
This is awesome and know someone in her familly would be proud of it. Beautiful work.
It's beautiful. I am sure her family would love to have it.
Your story touched me dearly. You are a courageous woman for going back to the quilt to finish it. I know times like this, it hurts to go back and pick up where you left off. I'm sure her family would be honored. The quilt is going to be gorgeous!
I'm sorry to hear you lost your friend. My uncle has had reoccuring brain tumors and I understand somewhat how hard that can be. You are an amazing person and her family will be so touched! It is beautiful and I am looking forward to seeing it all finished.
Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I've been sewing away on the quilt, with still a lot to go. As I've been sewing, I've been thinking of Helen and her family. I know they are going to be very pleased. I've also been thinking of what words I will put on the quilt label. I have a lot of time to think about it, but there will be something about in honor of Helen. Don't know what else yet.
I've been working on it most of the weekend and have the center pieced. Now for the border. I put some of the stripe (a smaller stripe than the flowers I used on the squares) and decided it didn't like it. So now it's coming off, going to put a 2" strip of the background in, then the stripe, then another 2" strip and then more 1/2 stars for the final border. It's looking great, but giving me fits.
Don't forget pictures! :mrgreen:
I just spent about an hour and a half un-sewing. Putting it up for the night and going on to something EASY!
It always takes so much longer to reverse sew then it did when sewing the pieces together. I just spent a couple hours yesterday doing the same thing with a project I'm working on. I feel your pain.

Walkscore to Get Bus Points
Access to transit is not currently part of the scoring, but developers expect to roll out an updated scoring system soon.
"With assistance from the Rockefeller Foundation, the locational rating system has now incorporated transit service data from 40 metro regions into its service, so that its maps reflect this key measure of urbanity. In the past, this had been one of the few large deficiencies in the system, which rates the "walkability" of any given address in the country, as measured by its proximity to a range of neighborhood assets like parks, schools, and shops.
The service is working on incorporating the transit data into its scoring system, so that locations with better transit access will receive higher scores."


text: Hey guys im new to the forum but Ive been reading quite a bit. I have a 96 suburban and for the past few weeks it has felt sluggish. It doesnt throw any codes and it doesnt really hesitate or miss that i can tell. It just feels like I am pulling a trailer or something. Seems like i have to lean into the throttle more than usual. I do my own work but I just couldnt figure it out so I took it to the gmc dealer to have them diagnose it. They pressure checked one cat and it checked out fine but they were unable to check the other one because the o2 sensor was really frozen in there and they were afraid to break it. It is there opinion that my fuel pump is bad. The sheet that they gave me says "after priming fuel system could only achieve 57psi key on and engine off. spec is 60-66. for sequential fuel injection." My question is...could that little of pressure difference cause this problem? i would hate to drop the tank and find out that this is not the problem. Also as a side note, I have replaced the spider assembly a few months ago with the updated one. It ran great right after the upgrade. Thanks guys!!

Columnist Steve Scauzillo was recently most effusive in his compliments to Supervisor Ridley-Thomas on running such an efficient meeting and I'd have to agree. However, my agreement ends there, since as a long-term observer of these meetings I can attest that the board could've run an even better meeting - if they'd chosen too.
All five members were well aware that hundreds of people were about to descend upon them to address the proposed storm runoff treatment fee, and yet they chose to include the item on an already full agenda. I'd argue that a more respectful show of support, openness and transparency would've been to have only had one item, the proposed runoff treatment fee, on the agenda and shelve all the other pomp and pageantry that the board members love so very much. Or schedule a separate day, perhaps in the evening, to have heard the item in a true public forum. Instead, by choosing to conduct business as usual, they forced members of the public who came to speak on other issues to speak at the beginning of the meeting, some four hours before their item would be discussed. Sounds like a violation of the Brown Act to me. Or at least not running a meeting well, once again minimizing public participation on the whole. Due to the number of people wishing to address the subject, folks only got one minute to get their point across then the usual two to three minutes.
Was I glad the board has put a temporary kibosh on the proposed runoff treatment fee? No doubt. But let's not pretend the board ran such an extraordinary meeting that it was deserving of press. If they had held a special public hearing, or series of such, yes; but stuffed into a regularly scheduled meeting, no!

I see that the anti-gun left has no problem depicting the U.S. Congress as an assault weapon with our "future children" as belt fed ammunition (cartoon by Bill Day), yet would never think of depicting an abortion clinic with the 1 million (AGI) "future children" killed in such locations each year. The number of children killed by firearms in this country annually is hardly a fraction of, and pales in comparison to the number of children killed at the hands of medical professionals with the blessing of the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.
