Gael Clichy believes William Gallas answered his critics with a powerful performance against FC Twente on Wednesday night.
The Arsenal captain came under fire after the defensive error which led to Fulham's winning goal at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Gallas responded with a rock-solid display against Twente and grabbed his second goal of the qualifying tie as Arsenal cruised into the Group Stage of the Champions League.
Clichy can empathise with Gallas after his own high-profile error at Birmingham in February led to two dropped points at a vital stage of the title race. After Wednesday's win Clichy backed his fellow Frenchman to the hilt.
"I think he showed he is a great player," said Clichy. "Everyone has a bad time. Last year against Birmingham, I had a big mistake, that was my thing.
"Of course, William is a big player, a more experienced player and he is the captain so you have to look for someone to blame. Unfortunately it is him but I don't think the players think that is right.
"We don't blame him for everything, everyone makes mistakes. I made a mistake like I told you and I think William is a great player and on Wednesday night he scored again. Everyone is behind him and it will remain like this."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Mansion on the Beach in Msambweni, Kenya Coast - Msambweni Beach Is The Unspoiled "diamond" Of Kenya, Off The Tourist Track
Kaskazi is an Arabic/Swahili styled mansion surrounded with a large park ( 4,7 acres) filled with exotic plants and birds. On the coral cliff, with stunning ocean view, there are 3 dining places and 2 bonfires, barbecue and pizza oven serving a large dining table with space for 14 people. The garden is floodlighted in the evenings.Monkeys and bush babies are playing in the trees, and rare wild birds can be spotted any time. Free roaming Peacocks and Guinea fowles walk the spread out lawns facing the beach and the blue Indian Ocean. Our large outdoor aviary hosts friendly and lively parrots. You can relax on the underwater bench in the pool enjoying the magnificent ocean view as well as a game of bocha on the course in the coconut grove. The main entrance of the house is through an Arabic styled court yard.The first floor comprises a penthouse and 3 large terraces with a full view of the property.
About the Owner
About Omari
We, Harriet Hetland and Eilif Torma, both Norwegians, bought Kaskazi in 2001 when we were working for the International Red Cross in Nairobi. We have since then developed the property to be a Swahili/Arabic styled mansion. For the last 4 years it has successfully operated as an up market boutique hotel.
However after more than 15 years in East Africa we, according to our long term plan, will return to Norway and rejoin our family and friends Consequently beautiful Kaksazi is for sale. However our excellent staff, under the leadership of our Manager Omari will, until a sale is concluded, keep themselves busy and serve guests this time on a letting basis.
Omari purchased this house in 2001
Why Omari chose Kenya
We bought this wonderful property in 2001. Msambweni is one of the very few unspoiled beaches left on the Kenyan coast Beach life is as it has been for many years with local fishermen, their dug out canoes, their traditional sailing boats. Always friendly and smiling.
There are no jet skis, no water skiing, just the rolling waves and the sound of the ocean breeze passing through the palms.The seclusion is a true luxury even though busy Diani Beach is just a few km. away.
What makes this house unique
The house, gardens and spread out lawns blends with the Indian Ocean. A tropical paradise of your dreams.

At least eight people were killed and about 10 wounded in fierce clashes that erupted Monday between armed groups at a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, state media reported.
Lebanon's National News Agency said machine guns and rocket propelled grenades were being used for almost two hours between supporters of Fattah-affiliated official Ahmed Rashid and the Islamist group Ansar Allah in the town of Miyye Miyye, located on a hill just east of Sidon.
The report identified two of the dead as Rashid Rashid, the brother of Ahmed, and Abu Youssef al-Maty. Both were aligned with a branch of Fatah that is loyal to Mohammed Dahlan, who was chased out of the West Bank three years ago by his former allies of the Palestinian Authority.
Munir Maqdah, an official with the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Brigades was quoted by the NNA as saying that a conflict arose between Rashid and Jamal Suleiman, the leader of Ansar Allah, about 10 days ago, without elaborating.
He said the parties coordinated with the Lebanese army to end the standoff. Witnesses told Al-Akhbar that the area has remained calm since the fighting subsided at around 2:00 pm.
The clashes also forced several schools in parts of Sidon facing Miyye Miyye to shut down.

With mobile visits to its website more than doubling during the past year, The Hunger Project saw an opportunity. Why not sign up potential donors while they're using the channel?
That's when the New York-based nonprofit that's "committed to the sustainable end of world hunger" decided to hire Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Pontiflex, a mobile sign-up ad platform provider.
"The immediate goal of the project was to increase the size of our email database," says Jenna Recuber, director of communications at The Hunger Project. "So I think long-term we know, as a nonprofit, that one of the best ways to expand our online fundraising is to increase the size of our email database. But it also has a secondary goal of raising awareness about our issues and about our organization."
Recuber says the mobile sign-up campaign took three weeks to organize and was ready to go in December 2011. But her team waited until February 2012 to launch the month-long effort.
"We were able to use the opportunity [of being] in the middle of a switch to Convio's Luminate suite and their Luminate Online system being linked with our CRM," Recuber says. "Pontiflex had a new relationship that they had built with Convio that was able to integrate directly with them. So they uploaded all the new contacts directly into our system. We didn't have to worry about Excel sheets or anything like that. So we waited until that system was all set up on our end and launched on Feb. 1, for that reason."
Plus, the extra time and the new integration helped The Hunger Project's two-person communications team in other ways. Pontiflex aided the charity with editorial input for its three-part welcome series for these new "investors" and the new Convio tool allowed them to launch the series immediately upon sign up, with the second message going out seven days later and the third one a week later (or 14 days after sign-up).

Butler Trade Could Be Transformative For T'Wolves NBA Draft Overnight Ratings Rebound For ESPN Knicks Have Relatively Quiet NBA Draft 76ers Draw 5,000 For Outdoor Draft Watch Party Celtics' Ainge Bets Big On Jayson Tatum Jeter Reportedly Short Of Marlins Funding Chiefs Part Ways With GM John Dorsey Marc-Andre Fleury Becomes Face Of Golden Knights Sources: Cavs Offer Lead Front Office Role To Billups Golden Knights' Expansion Draft Goes Well
Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published January 6, 1995
It was a wild day of rumors and denials along One Buccaneer Place, as reports ranged from an impending sale to a number of bidders, to an all out suspension of the sale for a year. What is known is that trustee Steve Story met in Baltimore with Orioles Owner Peter Angelos in "an unannounced negotiating session." Angelos, who has been preparing a bid for several weeks, said he is not sure if he will submit one today or wait "until later," but added "We are working on it. We're not sitting here doing nothing" (Jon Morgan, Baltimore SUN, 1/6). Story's meeting with Angelos came on the heels of a rumor that "swept through" Hillsborough County that Angelos had a "handshake agreement" to buy the team for $217M and move it to Baltimore. Angelos denied that rumor. That led to speculation the trust would sell the team to the Tommy Shannon/Outback Steakhouse group. Hugh Culverhouse, Jr. flew to Tampa from Miami also increased speculation that some deal "might be near." Then, ESPN reported that Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner would make an offer of $164M to keep the team in Tampa. Steinbrenner's response: "You're kidding, right?" Late in the afternoon, the trust announced that head coach Sam Wyche would continue as coach for next season, raising speculation that, because no offer was sufficient, the trust intended to take the team off the market. Tommy Shannon, who reiterated that his group's offer to buy the team was only good until Monday, added: "The Wyche announcement would lead me to believe the trust may keep the team." Bruce Frey, a Chicago real-estate developer part of a Tampa group interested in the team, said of the Wyche announcement: "I don't understand it, unless they've determined to keep the team and retain Wyche" (Rick Stroud, ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 1/6).

My "Me Too" Blagojevich Post (Updated)
US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald turned in another bombshell yesterday, moving to stop what he called a "political corruption crime spree" by indicting Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich on charges of political corruption. Blagojevich, it seems, was selling off Obama's Senate seat for cash, among other, similar acts. That would be bad enough, but Jake Tapper of ABC almost immediately recovered a newsreel of Obama strategist David Axelrod telling reporters that Obama had met with Gov. Blagojevich to discuss the Senate seat just a few weeks ago, directly contradicting a claim by the President-elect that he had not spoken to the governor about the Senate seat.
The result on the Internet has been entertaining. I routinely watch an internet collection machine called memeorandum.com to see what's hot in the mainstream blogosphere. It collects all related stories into an indented column so you can see them all together. I'd paste a screen shot of what it looked like at 1 AM this morning, only I can't capture the screen easily — it's three screens long (here's the link to it, though.) I don't recall any story generating that level of response in the last year. Incredible.
In a dazzling display of high-speed sycophancy, the New York Times produced a report purporting to make Obama a hero and distance him from Gov. Blagojevich. According to sizzling hot on-the-spot reporters Mike McIntyre and Jeff Zeleny, it seems The One placed a phone call — that's one (1) phone call — to State Senator Emil Jones three months ago to facilitate passage of an ethics bill that placed a deadline on the Governor's pay-for-play schemes, so Blago went into overdrive to raise as much money as possible before January. No mention is made in the article of the fact that the investigation of Blagojevich has been ongoing for years, though they manage to slip in on page 2 that there was some connection with the Rezko indictment.
Ace of Spades HQ leans the other direction and produces reminders of how close Obama and Blagojevich have been, historically, and Jake Tapper (link in the first paragraph, above) has his own questions on the subject.
To those of us who watched the entire campaign closely, the scenario is wearily familiar. Barack Obama lies impulsively when faced with an uncomfortable situation, and then everybody around him realigns with his words to make his pronouncement work. If for some reason it doesn't work, he'll make another pronouncement and the staff will realign with that, etc. ad nauseum. How many times did this happen in the last year? Eight? Twelve? We lost count, with denials of connections with Rezko, Wright, Malley, Klonsky, Ayers, Dohrn, Raines…
The last time there was a Democrat in the White House, the entire nation got treated to a years-long discussion of just how common and necessary lying is, since the President turned out to be a compulsive liar. It was so bad that the Democrats had to invent reasons to call George W. Bush a liar, non-stop for 8 years (with no mention of how normal and necessary lying is, curiously enough.) Now the Democrats are heading for the White House again, and again, our President appears to be a compulsive liar. Color me stunned.
Was President-elect Obama involved in the scandal? I don't know. Probably not. Let US Attorney Fitzgerald figure that one out. It's enough that we're all being treated to yet another of what already seems like an unending string of implausible denials by The Messiah. For better or worse (mostly worse,) we just elected a Chicago machine politician to be President. It's going to be a long four years.
I suppose the good news is that painting the Democrats as corrupt will be easier during the next election cycle, if the Republican party manages to find a campaign advisor with the wit to take advantage. Blagojevich joins the ranks of recently-indicted Democrats Eliot Spitzer (Gov. NY), Don Siegelman (Gov. AL), and Kwame Kilpatrick (Mayor Detroit,) and I'm pretty sure I'm leaving a few out. Republicans, meanwhile, have produced the likes of Mark Sanford (Gov. SC), Sarah Palin (Gov. AK), and Bobby Jindal (Gov. LA). And the Democrats are calling the Republicans a "culture of corruption." Pardon me while I pretend to know how to spit.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin takes on the same topic as my final paragraph in a nationally syndicated column today. You can read it on her blog site, and it's worth a look. Her list of Democratic scandals is longer than mine.

'Was President-elect Obama involved the scandal?' I don't know either Phil, but I am becoming convinced that if this man is subtle enough, he will be able to literally get away with anything. Fitgerald was backpedaling to assure the public that Obama wasn't involved. Some Conservative bloggers are fervently hoping Obama is not involved, and looked the other way on the citizenship questions. I am sure you can think of a dozen instances where critics have been piled on for merely questioning him. With no one on the Right to confront him, Obama is above reproach. Untouchable. I have never seen anything like it. Apologies for my rant going off topic.
Comment by Phil
Part of the irritation of the thing is that he's not subtle at all, and does not have to be. In fact, he's inept, but without the press, it's virtually impossible to confront him.
So far, and so far as we know, his crimes consist of misrepresenting who he is and with whom he's mixed. Yeah, he's a weakling who lies to cover his behind, but that's not overtly criminal (yet). Flouting campaign finance law is another thing entirely. The part that really disturbs me is what happens to those who attempt to expose him; he's got a mean streak and lawless following that I'm pretty sure he cannot control. They're very dangerous.
Also, I think Mr. Obama may be weak enough, personally, to use the power of government to take personal vengeance if somebody does manage to expose something serious. We'll probably see soon enough, as there are some in the press (like Tapper, apparently) who seem willing enough to take him on now that he's won the election.
My original assessment of Obama, before I did much research, was that his administration would be like the Carter administration, since he's so clearly lacking in anything remotely resembling leadership skills. Even though I now know his ideology, I still think as I did originally; we're in for as much progressive socialism as he can manage, but it's pretty likely that he won't be able to manage much. The man is frankly incompetent, and emotionally adolescent. I think the government will run him, not the other way 'round. But, we'll see.
Comment by RM
Part of the culture of corruption is due to the fact that as liberal Democrats they have been protected for so long by the media, they have not really had to be cautious about what they said and did. There has been very little accountability.
My guess is that the Lightworker will skate on this one. If I had to guage the spin, it will probably come in the form of a mild reprimand from the media. Sort of along the lines of: "Mr. Obama is a young, ambitious politician who earned his stripes in a tough town. He perhaps needs to learn to be more cautious about his associations, which can cause him to be UNFAIRLY TAINTED. Although he is clearly INNOCENT OF ANY WRONGDOING, this is a cautionary lesson for him and a chance for him to grow in office. Since he was CLEARLY NOT INVOLVED he should not be condemned, but we hope he will use the same kind of wisdom he used in choosing his cabinet, when choosing his associates."
Then, after having given him a pass, they will hold forth in endless symposiums on how "tough" they have been on him, and wonder endlessly if they have been "unfair" to him.
Comment by Phil
They're not even permitting the suggestion that he's tainted. Here's a paragraph from that suck-up piece by the Times I mentioned in paragraph 3:
Beyond the irony of its outcome, Mr. Obama's unusual decision to inject himself into a statewide issue during the height of his presidential campaign was a reminder that despite his historic ascendancy to the White House, he has never quite escaped the murky and insular world of Illinois politics. It is a world he has long navigated, to the consternation of his critics, by engaging in a kind of realpolitik, Chicago-style, which allowed him to draw strength from his relationships with important players without becoming compromised by their many weaknesses.
See? He's in it, but above it. He "draws strength from his relationships." Their weaknesses do not mar his pure visage.
Pure pap. Unbelievable.
Comment by NevadaDad
I guess the "That's not the (insert controversial figure's name here) I know" line just didn't cut it this time around.
It's remarkable how quickly The One will tell half truths or outright lies if the unvarnished truth will taint his image — and how willing the press is to act like PR agents rather than reporters. It's shameless. I half expecting Newsweek and all the other magazines that have featured him so prominently on their covers recently to just start photoshopping in a halo.
Comment by feeblemind
Thanks for the reply Phil. It is very good. I am a poor wordsmith. Re subtle, perhaps I mean his verbal delivery, then. While you and I can see through it. Millions can't and/or won't. It will be interesting to see how the present scandal plays out. I am inclined to agree with your other commenters that he gets off untainted. If there is an 'investigation' into his involvement it will almost surely be of the whitewash variety.
Comment by RM
Amazing, you're right so far. If the revelations really get seamy, the media may seize on this as an opportunity to shoot a couple of rubberband shots at him (which he can swat away) so they can pontificate on how objective and tough-minded they are.
I remember the press, after bloviating for months over Clinton's 92 win, took a few very minor, laughable shots at him. As I recall, he took the opportunity to moan "No President in history has had a tougher press than I have. No one." Most of them immediately backed off and kicked themselves for being unfair to the young Democratic prez.
I'm waiting for the first reprise of Dan Rather's "If we could could be half as good as you and Hilary Rodham Clinton have been in the White House, we'd take it right now and walk away winners. Please give our best to Mrs. Clinton and tell her we're pulling for her." Flinty, hard nosed journalism, that.
You can't say they aren't entertaining so far.

Connecting wood board to cinderblock
201 Attachment(s)
I Have some pillars of blocks set up and mortared together. I am still going to be a little short on making them tall enough to be level so I need some blocks and shims. Is there a glue or something that will stick the wood to the blocks just to make them that much more sturdy. I need to be able to put weight on it right away since they are the last details to make the shed nice and level.
Not really needed, but constrution adhesive will work.
Masonry screws. Drive right in the blocks. Used em yesterday for drywall.

In short, a clever hybrid device we didn't see coming. The My Cloud range is a line of external 2TB, 3TB and 4TB hard drives determined to pick a fight with both traditional NAS and Cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive. They support traditional NAS features via a browser-based dashboard and DLNA support, while apps let you access your drive remotely via PCs, smartphones and tablets just like popular cloud services.
This means you have a much bigger storage allowance than standard Cloud services, your data isn't shared with another company and you only have to upload what you need with no monthly subscriptions. WD also claims the My Cloud performs faster than most NAS drives for a fraction of the price. Is this a breakthrough product or too good to be true?
The roots of the My Cloud come from WD's existing My Book range of backup hard drives. This is no bad thing. Over the years WD has refined the My Book design and it translates well to My Cloud with subtle rounded corners and a clean, minimalist finish that suggests it could've come off an Apple product line. The fact WD has released My Cloud in white is not an insignificant factor.
For a multi-function device My Cloud is also very compact. At 170.6 x 49 x 139.3mm and 960g it is less than half the size and weight of most NAS and no bigger than the My Book while the well vented mock-metal top and rear keep it cool and quiet. If we do have an issue with the My Cloud design it is that its chassis isn't particularly rigid, but since this is a device unlikely to move, let alone be carried with you, it isn't a major issue.
So WD has nailed the looks, but just how good of an external HDD/NAS/Cloud storage wannabe is it?
Dealing with the first of these is fairly straightforward. With 2TB, 3TB and (soon) 4TB versions My Cloud is as capacious as any single drive backup solution currently available. It supports automatic backups on Windows using its own 'SmartWare' software and TimeMachine for Macs. There is also a USB 3.0 port for connecting additional storage or initiating direct downloads from cameras but, perhaps surprisingly, this doesn't support printers or network connectivity. The latter is left to Gigabit Ethernet.
When it comes to its NAS aspirations the My Cloud is also relatively simple. It ditches more advanced features to concentrate on core functionality like support for DLNA and iTunes servers, UPnP, and FTP (though the latter is disabled by default) plus multi-user support to set folder access and permissions.
Meanwhile it gains its Cloud storage (and more advanced NAS) credentials thanks to remote file access via Android (above), iOS, PC and Mac apps. These support file downloads, edits and media streaming. The restriction is the apps have no integrated media player so playback is limited to formats your device supports. This isn't a problem for Windows or Android, but is a significant drawback for iOS.
On the upside, the mobile apps bring support for Google Drive, Dropbox and SkyDrive letting users transfer and sync content between your 'personal Cloud' and any existing Cloud storage services you already use. This is particularly useful for any essential content you might want access offline since all My Cloud data is accessed on demand.
Returning to hardware, WD claims an unspecified 'dual core' processor provides it with the grunt to turn the tables on premium NAS. But, as with any multifunctional device, there are limitations. The most obvious is being a single drive system means the My Cloud can back up your data, but not itself. This lack of redundancy means extra expense for those with critical data, but My Cloud does address this with an elegant 'Safepoints' system that can automatically back itself up to USB or network storage as required.
It's also cheap. People don't back up their data as often as they should, especially their photos/videos. Something like this is perfect for home use, most people don't know, and don't want to know, about raid and multi-disc NASs. They just want something that works - which is sounds like this does.
It won't help in a fire, but it's a step in the right direction. Don't go through the pain of not having backed up.
What's the actual model though? Amazon have an older version stocked I think?
my book live with a diff case?
Wait a minute, D-Link has been doing this for years....
Not quite. Read beyond the first few paragraphs :)
The MyCloud line have 2TB, 3TB and 4TB models. There is no previous line so it shouldn't be a problem finding one. We had the 2TB model.
Exactly. It is perfect for backing up and accessing your files remotely, but as the main source of your data the problem is it needs something to back itself up. A 2 drive model with integrated redundancy could cover all bases. We're told it's coming.
Gordon am I right in thinking that the IOS app will not allow you to play/stream iOS compatible files saved on the my cloud? Or have I got that wrong clarification would be helpful as I am about to buy one of these
I set this up today.
I can access the files (via wifi and 4G) through my MBP(Finder) and my iPhone 4S(WD app and another media streaming app).
But I am not able to access the files via web browser (same or different network). When ever I click on the shared folder after signing in on WD2GO.com I get an error "Execution Failed :80"
Any Help?
I prefer dropbox as the files sit on your computer and sync with the cloud, that is a far better system and WD would do well to adopt it.
Very useful. I got my brother to bring me the 3TB version back from the States and so far it's proving very useful. The main benefit is I can now slowly begin to move my stuff off from my Dropbox account and go back to a free account. At the same time I have masses more storage and can still access everything remotely. It's not quite as flexible as Dropbox, in that there's no folder that syncs automatically with the drive, and as the review states the PC App is quite limited, but it does the job. So instead of having a folder that syncs automatically you have to use the PC App to upload files to the MD My Cloud. Still a very usefull piece of kit and very cheap considering.
Would this work for synchronising two computers, laptop and desktop? It doesn't sound as though it's quite got the capability of a Dropbox-type facility, unless there's a way of doing that. Would the auto backup (Time Machine in my case) create synchronised records between both computers?
Can you limit the space TimeMachine backups take - otherwise it will fill any free space with Mac backups?
Does any know whether this drive is 7200rpm or 5400rpm?
I purchased a 3tb My Cloud have almost 10 hours on line with support. Support does an ok job but it depends on who you get. Additionally it took 6 hours of support to get the drive to work as advertised. I had my first real problem with the drive not allowing public vs private access and the support guy was useless. I was finally able to get it working myself but find the product not ready for release, instead we are the beta guinea pigs.
Hi, I just want to be able to put photos, movies & music on this drive and be able to share it wirelessly to iPhones, android touchpad, Sony Bravia smart TV & PS3.......... is this the drive for me ?
And is it the one currently selling for £99 on Amazon?
Thanks guys
Can this device be used for media streaming that can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection, not just on your home network? For instance, if I travelled a lot, can I store all my media on my cloud and stream it to my laptop or tablet from another location?
I've been using Copy for my cloud storage and it's pretty fast.
It's from the folks at Barracuda Networks. They offer 15 gigs for free.
Looked at this excellent review because my old WD dropping connection a lot last week. Very hard to reconcile to amazon comments - like 6 days to transfer my current files onto it (not to mention the persistent issue with dropped connections!) Wonder if TR should check forums as part of review - many firms, not mentioning netgear or HP in particular, seem to have intergenerational curses.
Only if the wretched thing works. Which is tends not to.
My experience was the same. Dead slow, can't see the internet, a hopeless, utterly HOPELESS support. Wish I'd never bought the wretched rubbish. A USB hard drive would have been way better and cheaper.
Can this be directly hooked up to a laptop through Ethernet cable and copy/paste files?
Slow as hell, no support, constant errors trying to transfer files, terrible interface... I am beginning to regret this purchase as it is basically a very bad product. It needs a proper instruction manual to come with it to explain how to set it up and actually transfer files across.
It would appear from all the comments that all these devices and NAs's are rubbish….is there an answer out there. My omega media player just died after a year of use. I have had multiple HD die on me also.!!!

Cheap Jerseys – Wholesale NFL jerseys free 0BO278 – Wholesale Jerseys From China
Some interesting thing about the football jerseys number In the football initial stage, the football players don't have the number, and they wear the same number shirt in the venue. Because of absence of numbers, there were a lot of trouble, for example, sometimes it is impossible to know which player scored the ball. Later the football players have the jerseys number; it will be simpler, each player has a number behind their football jersey. Whether he is facing the crowd or with his back to the audience, people can see his every move clearly. Despite the development of football in the 100 years, but some laws of the jersey number does not change a lot. For
Wholesale NFL jerseys example, goalkeeper is usually the No.0 or No.1, the forward is generally the No.9, No.10, or No.11. When we are watching a game, we can know which football players play what position. In the number of 1 22, undoubtedly No.10 is the most attractive. Because wearing No.10 jersey has already become a symbol of honor. Pele is always wearing
bulk email is not worth the trouble. Read on and you find that bulk email marketing isn really necessary either. 2. Opt in email list rental A much "cleaner" version of bulk email marketing is "opt in email list rental." There are plenty of companies on the web that will rent you email addresses that have opted in to receive commercial email. Actually, in most cases they are not really renting the addresses; that is, you never see the addresses. Instead, they charge you a per email address fee for mailing your message to a list under their management. But does it work.? As long the recipients are not being paid to read the messages and they are genuinely interested in the offers they signed up to receive, this strategy can be profitable.

Letter Naming | Letter Sound | Phoneme Segmentation | Nonsense Word
The aimsweb Test of Early Literacy assessments can be purchased as part of an aimsweb Subscription.
The National Reading Panel (Panel 2000) has identified some critical pre-reading skills that should be assessed in Kindergarten and early Grade 1, including Phonemic Awareness, and elements of Phonics, including letter names and sounds and the ability to read non-real (nonsense) words.
aimsweb TEL Measures are used to identify students at risk for reading difficulties and monitor the progress of all students in Kindergarten and early Grade 1 as they move on the pathway to good reading. The four measures are:
- Letter Naming Fluency – identified frequently as the best single indicator of risk for reading failure
- Letter Sound Fluency – with equal or better predictive ability to later general reading skills
- Phoneme Segmentation Fluency – the ability to hear critical sounds in the spoken word
- Nonsense Word Fluency – the ability to link the written code with the most common sounds

Balancing cell numbers during organogenesis: Six1a differentially affects neurons and sensory hair cells in the inner ear
Six1a plays an essential role at the onset of fast muscle differentiation.
six1a and pax3 (show PAX3 ELISA Kits) do not function in the same regulatory network. We proposed four putative regulatory pathways to understand how six1a distinctly interacts with either myf5 (show MYF5 ELISA Kits) or myod (show MYOD1 ELISA Kits) during zebrafish craniofacial muscle development.
Zeb1 (show ZEB1 ELISA Kits) promotes proliferation and apoptosis and inhibits the migration of metanephric mesenchyme cells, in association with Six2.
In Six2-positive nephrogenic progenitors, GLI3 (show GLI3 ELISA Kits) repressor decreased progenitor cell proliferation reducing the number of nephrogenic precursor structures in the Pallister-Hall syndrome mouse model.
Mechanistically, LIF (show LIF ELISA Kits) activates STAT (show STAT1 ELISA Kits), which binds to a Stat (show STAT1 ELISA Kits) consensus sequence in the Six2 proximal promoter and sustains SIX2 levels.
Dicer (show DICER1 ELISA Kits) ablation in the early metanephric mesenchyme results in severe renal dysgenesis despite normal initial specification of nephron progenitors and ureteric bud outgrowth.
miR181c downregulates the expression of Six2, restrain the proliferation and promote the apoptosis that even makes the nephron progenitor phenotype lose MM cells, suggesting a potential role of miR181c during the kidney development.
results reveal a functional link between Eya1 (show EYA1 ELISA Kits), Six2, and Myc (show MYC ELISA Kits) in driving the expansion and maintenance of the multipotent progenitors during nephrogenesis
Our findings establish Six2 as a regulator of metastasis in human breast cancers and demonstrate an epigenetic function for SIX family transcription factors in metastatic progression through the regulation of E-cadherin (show CDH1 ELISA Kits).
These results implied that inhibition of Nf1 (show NF1 ELISA Kits) may delay metanephros development via down-regulation of Six2.
Osr1 (show OSR1 ELISA Kits) plays crucial roles in Six2-dependent maintenance of nephron progenitors during mammalian nephrogenesis.
this study concluded that by targeting the transcription factor gene Six2, miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-181b inhibits the proliferation of metanephric mesenchymal cells in vitro and might play an important role in the formation of nephrons.
Data show that three of the eight conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) located within a 317-kb segment of the Six2 genomic locus were nephric enhancers.
We suggest SIX2 haploinsufficiency as a potential congenital factor could be attributed to developmental malformation of the middle ear ossicles and upper eyelid.
SIX2 deletion is associated with frontonasal dysplasia syndrome.
SIX2 overexpression and concomitantly decreased promoter methylation.
in tumors with DGCR8 (show DGCR8 ELISA Kits) E518K and DROSHA (show DROSHA ELISA Kits) exon 29 (miRNAPG-HS) mutations ... greater prevalence of tumors with blastemal predominant histology in patients with miRNAPG-HS and/or SIX1 (show SIX1 ELISA Kits)/2 Q177R mutations
Recurrent mutations included a hotspot mutation (Q177R) in the homeo-domain of SIX1 (show SIX1 ELISA Kits) and SIX2 in tumors with high proliferative potential (18.1% of blastemal cases); mutations in the DROSHA (show DROSHA ELISA Kits)/DGCR8 (show DGCR8 ELISA Kits) microprocessor genes
Nuclear protein (show RDBP ELISA Kits) & mRNA expression of SIX2 were similar across all stages of disease, in favorable or unfavorable histology & in treatment failure or success. It is not found in normal kidney.
Lack of mutations in the coding regions of SIX2 among the sporadic microtia patients
This gene is a member of the vertebrate gene family which encode proteins homologous to the Drosophila 'sine oculis' homeobox protein. The encoded protein is a transcription factor which, like other members of this gene family, may be involved in limb or eye development.

Top Three Performances by Michigan Targets
If a look test would have been administered today, Jason Hatcher would have passed it with flying colors. The Louisville (KY) Trinity DE was among the most explosive players at the combine. Standing at 6-2.5 and weighing in at 231-lbs…. he played and looked much bigger than his size. Pair that with his speed and power, and he was a load to deal with. The recent Michigan offer recipient registered a 4.7 forty yard dash, 4.32 in the shuttle, and did 21 reps of 185 on the bench. He was dominant off the edge at the beginning of 1-on1s according to Scout.com Director of Scouting, Scott Kennedy, but that dominance waned as the session went on (stamina?). Nevertheless, it was an impressive showing overall… one indicative of his status of the most heavily recruited defensive linemen in his class. In addition to Michigan he already has offers Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and a number of other BCS schools. For the time being he claims no favorites and says that he will seriously consider all of his suitors. Despite his lack of knowledge familiarity Maize & Blue, the news of the offer from Brady Hoke & company particularly because of his family ties to the Great Lake State. We'll have more on Hatcher's recruitment in a video interview tomorrow.
Moving on, the second most impressive Michigan target was a youngster that hasn't yet received an offer from the Wolverines. Wylie (TX) East wideout, Marcell Ateman was a true head-turner. That might surprise some considering the 4.81 forty time he registered. The 6-4, 190-pounder disputed that time, and based on his showing, his gripe appeared legitimate. Even if it wasn't (and for the record he claims to be a mid 4.5-4.6 guys)… there's track speed and there's football speed. During 1-on-1s Ateman sparkled, showing football speed for days. He ran precise routes, showed a great burst out of his breaks, and extremely good hands. His polish was evident on an out & up against a DB that fared better in the forty. Only a ball that hung a bit in the air allowed Ateman's opponent to get back in the frame… and that wasn't Ateman's only time getting deep.
Ateman gets deep
Ateman got deep with ease throughout the session. His teammate Vequan Jones had more buzz coming into event, but Ateman left with a respect all his own. He already holds offers from Tennessee, Baylor, Arizona and is hearing an increasing amount from Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, and Michigan. He has exchanged messages with Michigan assistant Darrell Funk in recent months and says they will have more interaction after the Sugar Bowl. He has definite interest in the Maize & Blue.
The wideout in attendance already holding a Michigan offer was Akron (OH) Firestone's Kevin Gladney. The Buckeye State star measured in at a shade over six-feet, ran a 4.59 forty, and a 4.55 shuttle. A long strider, Gladney's ate up the cushion given him by few unsuspecting defensive backs. On the other hand, there were a few others that had success thanks to muscling him at the line of scrimmage or by jumping his routes when he didn't sell them well enough. Those are aspects of his game that will improve after an experience like today. As far as recruiting goes, the Michigan definitely has a significant head start thanks to its standing as his first offer. The Maize & Blue sits atop his leaderboard at the moment, but an offer from Ohio State will make things extremely interesting for this lifelong Buckeye fan.
Other notables…
Avon (OH) CB Ross Douglas measured in at 5-9.25 and 178 pounds and ran a 4.61 forty. The Ohio junior pulled up lame after the forty and wasn't able to participate any further. His dad reiterated today that his son is in consistent contact with Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison and that they've been told that coaching staff in Ann Arbor has indicated they will be reviewing young Douglass' junior film after the Sugar Bowl.
Solon (OH) CB Darian Hicks was up and down on the day. A few of the speedier wideouts were able to get on top of him. Hicks was the same height as Douglas, but five pounds lighter and ran a 4.71 forty. He attended Michigan's games versus San Diego State and Ohio State.
Wylie (TX) WR, Vequan Jones tested better than his wide receiver cohort, Marcel Ateman. Jones checked in a 6-4, 192 and ran a 4.67 forty and a 4.22 shuttle. Michigan has been in contact with his coach about him and Ateman, but unlike Ateman he has yet to correspond with the Wolverines directly.
Too early to Jump in?
The recruiting clock gets earlier and earlier every year it seems. The lone freshman at the event was Orangewood (FL) Christian LB, Jimmy Martin. The 5-11, 203-pounder acquitted himself well on the day, running a 4.84 forty, a 4.27 shuttle, and did 19 reps on the bench. His size and testing stats will surely improve in the coming years, making him one to keep an eye on in the years to come. Michigan apparently will be doing so. Martin has a sister that received a water polo scholarship to Michigan. That development prompted his dad to send his son's film into Michigan's Florida recruiter, Jerry Montgomery. Apparently the Wolverine defensive assistant informed the youngster's coach that the Maize & Blue will indeed be monitoring his progress.
Too Late to Jump in?
That could be the case with two tight ends our experts informed us the Wolverines have asked coaches about. Lake Charles (LA) Barbe high's, Desean Smith and New Orleans (LA) Edna Karr's, Standish Dobard delivered stellar performances. After Alabama commitment O.J. Howard (who by the way was a bona fide stud), were the next best prospects at the position. Smith was particularly impressive. At a little over 6-4, 224-lbs., he ran a 4.71 forty and a 4.35 shuttle. He showed great release moves, the ability to get off the jam, and very soft hands. Dobard stood 6-3, weighed about the same as Smith, but ran a 4.85. Smith already has offers from LSU and Texas A&M among others. Dobard has Alabama, Texas, and Florida. Would the Wolverines be ice-skating uphill if they offer? Probably. We'll keep an eye out to see if Michigan decides to jump definitively into the fray.

One of the art world's most recognisable images - Edvard Munch's The Scream - could sell for $US80 million ($A77.64 million) or more when it is auctioned in New York.
The 1895 painting of a man holding his head and screaming under a streaked, blood-red sky has become a modern symbol for human anxiety, popularised in movies and plastered on everything from mugs to T-shirts.
It is one of four versions created by the Norwegian expressionist painter. Three are in Norwegian museums. The one at the Sotheby's auction is the only one left in private hands. It is being sold by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen on Wednesday, whose father was a friend and patron of the artist.
A price tag of $80 million would be among the highest ever for an artwork. The record is $US106.5 million ($A103.36 million) for Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust," sold in 2010 by Christie's in New York.
Sotheby's said its pastel-on-board version of "The Scream" is the most colorful and vibrant of the four and the only version whose frame was hand-painted by the artist to include his poem, detailing the work's inspiration.
In the poem, Munch described himself "shivering with anxiety" and said he felt "the great scream in nature."
Proceeds from the sale will go for the establishment of a new museum, art center and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, where Olsen's father and Munch were neighbours.
"I have lived with this work all my life, and its power and energy have only increased with time," Olsen said in February. "Now, however, I feel the moment has come to offer the rest of the world a chance to own and appreciate this remarkable work."
The director of the National Museum in Oslo, Audun Eckhoff, says Norwegian authorities approved the Munch sale since the other versions of the composition are in Norwegian museums. One version is owned by the National Museum and two others by the Munch Museum, also in Oslo.
Sotheby's said a total of eight works have sold for $80 million or more at auction.
Only two other works besides Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust" have sold for more than $100 million at auction. Those are Picasso's "Boy With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice)" for $US104.1 million ($A101.03 million) in 2004 and Alberto Giacometti's "Walking Man I" for $US104.3 million ($A101.23 million) in 2010.

Please bring this back! The footprint is much smaller than the standard MEGAs and the 0.1" headers are much easier to work with than what the pro Mega mini has. Besides, I have these designed into a few enclosures and now I have to figure out how to get something else in there.

This is from Stage 4, but pretty cool.
Alternate headline for todays stage;
Laia Sanz survives cold temperatures of Bolivia by burning man cards.
From David Casteu
"It was tough. For the first 50 km it was okay, but in the middle there was a lot of water. Still, we rode through it at around 140 or 150 kmph and in some places there was about 15 cm of water. The bike was flying above the water. But I don't think Etienne should have any regrets at all: it was amazing for the riders. That's what the Dakar is about: you need to know how to handle the race, the repairs, the terrain, the climate… If it's just to ride the dunes around Iquique, you'd come along with your mates to have a laugh with an endurance bike. But this, this is what the Dakar is all about! One week ago, we were in Argentina wondering how we were going to manage to get out of the furnace like 50 degree heat and this morning we were wondering if we would need our waterproofs and double screen goggles. It's the hardest race in the world and I think the organisers were right to take this decision. There is a very strong emerging generation, but today you could see that experience counts a lot. At the refuelling point, most of the riders were the older ones, apart from one young lady who left us most of us trailing. On the salt lake, she was the one leading the pack. She's incredible, she's always there. She's one hell of a lady!"
From Jordi Viladoms
It was pretty obvious this morning that we couldn't set off, it was raining during last night, and there was water in the salt lake. It wouldn't stop raining and we were waiting at the starting line of the special stage feeling frozen, hoping for the race managers to cancel today's stage. In addition, we knew that if the salt lake was wet, the electronic device of the motorbike starts to get rusty and it begins to fail.
It turned out to be as we expected, because of a poor and unfair decision from the organization, who didn't even considerate the riders security nor the competitiveness.
Last night we thought that the special would be cancelled and today we couldn't believe it was not, it's been crazy.
I'm out of the race and it's not my fault, is because the organizations's poor judgement. To me the Dakar is over and it's not my responsibility.
Yes, "finding" new bars in a ditch that just happen to have the grips and controls installed. Only being a rider on a factory team is that possible.
@Jaci, my guess is a backmarker on a Honda may get his race payed for to swap bars, or he could end up walking to town and "finding" some in the roadside ditch.
Was. Not. Tested.
Damn! He's going to have to ride it back that way too, right? Unless he can straighten it somehow.

2007 Liquid Force Substance 138
Classic all around performanceFor a rider driven by the notion of taking tricks big with a clean release, this board is a means to get there. There is no comparison to the value found in the same board that allows Tino Santori to stomp huge, effortless 900sand Mikey Ennen to bring his snow style to the water. This is our go-to board giving you the most bang for your buck.

Hard to break loose. doesnt pop as much as its built up to be. very slow and deep in the water.

This board rules, I have 2. Plenty of grip with easy release for inverts, loads of pop, but at the same time nice smooth profile for for sliders.

Love this board, I have the 2006 version and I ride it finless. Gives great pop, great spin, pulled my first tantrum on it with ease. I feel like it makes me a better rider.
