King Penguin - the second largest (after the emperor) penguin species and one of the most brightly colored. Proud bearing, the combination of white, yellow and black plumage fully justify the title of king, assigned to these birds. One of the biggest in number of colonies king penguin is in the Bay of St Andrew on South Georgia Island. It was at St. Andrews Bay in the evening a warm spring day and this picture was taken. Chicks collected mngotysyachnye "nursery" patiently waiting for their parents, who appear every two weeks, something to feed them. Parents and children find each other by voice.
It's my mom! When approaching another adult penguin for "manger" chicks often show increased activity, screaming and struggling to attract vnomanie. After 12 months of hungry chicks can be even harder than their parents.
AGAIN deuce!? The chicks in the nursery are in constant motion. Often there are comedy routines, so reminiscent of the situation in the life of humans, that I want to come up with a photo story posmeshnee. Or at least the name :)
ORPHAN. Everything in life is often not as funny as the photo. Alien chicks penguins usually do not feed, and the chick, whose parents died also usually dies.

Re: little idea
although i inferred from dnsmasq's docs that you can update the dns to contain a record for a dhcp host based on the dhcp host's advertised name, i went ahead and threw together a perl script to act as a dynamic dns server. the benefit is in instances where you have a dial-up client that wants to keep a hostname in dnsmasq up-to-date with its current public IP. you can try it out at http://psydev.sourceforge.net/new/dynamic-dnsmasq/
little idea
I was just thinking, it would be awesome if the ability to serve DNS addresses for local machines could be extended to do dynamic dns... that way a machine using dhcp's hostname/domain name could still be resolved from whatever other machine. Or is this already supported?
It was good, it is excellent!
The author just added a new feature to the already excellent dnsmasq: now you can specify which nameservers are to be used for a particular domain!
This solved a problem when using the VPN of my company with my home connection.
Great piece of software: simple and efficient!

Love it!
i've been using DNRD for my small home LAN (which is still a good product). Problem was I wanted to use true dynamic DHCP derived IP's instead of static (or reserved per mac) address and HOSTS entries.
The newest BIND / DHCP do dynamic updates but seemingly don't like servers that are up and down a lot - the db kept getting jazzed.
DNSMASQ does dynamic updates by simply pointing it at the dhcp.leases file. Very simple and elegant!
Be sure to read the actual script - it contains comments about additional features not mentioned inthe breif readme file.
Excellent !
I recently switched from bind to dnsmasq, having a small home network, and I'm really very happy with it. Less than 1 MB in RAM, *very* quick, Debian package available for download, etc...
Keep doing it right :)

Director: William Cameron Menzies
Stars: Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Jimmy Hunt, Leif Erickson
There's no denying that the effects and costumes in Invaders From Mars haven't aged well at all. Revisited today, the movie's accessories look cheaper than K-Mart Halloween get-ups, but that's what makes the underlying creepiness in director William Cameron Menzie's camp classic so damn effective. Able to maintain a thick feeling of dread in light of its many dated flaws, Invaders From Mars is an exercise in mood over visuals.
At the beginning of the film, a little boy wakes up in the middle of the night to watch a spaceship land in his backyard. Since he's still a little pipsqueak, none of the adults believe him, though every grown-up who scopes out the supposed landing sight returns curiously different in demeanor.
Invaders From Mars taps into the fears of being a kid whose voice is unheard and whose boogeymen are laughed off. So what if little man's monsters wear green pajamas so crappy-looking that viewers can see the zippers on the backs? It's still scary, damn it!

I ordered my IVF prescriptions from IVFPrescriptions.com and I couldnt be happier with the items, service, and price.

They were very transparent about everything, and have an excellent customer service team if you have any inquiries or concerns. They even offer proof of certification and licensure so I really wasnt worried there. What surprised me was how fast the service was and how cheap the IVF meds were.

Pittsburgh Tuesday takes
Tone deaf: State Rep. Jim Christiana fails to see the inherent conflict of interest he had in accepting Highmark's tony invite to play in a pro-am event last week at the Fox Chapel Golf Club. More's the pity. The Beaver County Republican sponsored legislation favored by the insurance giant in its long-running battle with health care behemoth UPMC. Such cozy relationships are the epitome of what's wrong in Harrisburg, and in Washington, today.
The Highmark-UPMC "deal": That five-year "transition" agreement inked by Highmark and UPMC is all well and good, we suppose, but it fails to address the fundamental underlying problem created by the Insurance-Medicine Complex. We like to call it "turf cutting." Far from "competition," the goal is to stifle competition by creating artificial barriers to service. Simply put, anyone with any kind of health insurance should be allowed to access service at any doctor's office or medical facility. Anything less is patently unethical.
Be careful out there: The busiest boating time of the year arrives with the Independence Day weekend. And local, state and federal law agencies will be out in full force to crack down on drunken boating. The effort is dubbed Operation Dry Water. The good news is that alcohol-related boating fatalities were down 31 percent last year. The bad news is that too many boaters still imbibe behind the wheel. Don't drink and boat. Don't do it. Period.

This material must not be used for commercial purposes, or in any hospital or medical facility. Failure to comply may result in legal action.
Diverticulosis is a condition that causes small pockets called diverticula to form in your intestine. These pockets make it difficult for bowel movements to pass through your digestive system.
- Eat a variety of high-fiber foods: High-fiber foods help you have regular bowel movements. High-fiber foods include cooked beans, fruits, vegetables, and some cereals. Most adults need 20 to 30 grams of fiber every day. You may need 26 to 40 grams each day to control your diverticulosis. Ask your healthcare provider how much fiber you should have. Increase your intake of fiber slowly. You may need to take a fiber supplement if you are not getting enough fiber from food.
- Drink plenty of liquids each day as you eat more fiber: You may need to drink 2 to 3 liters (8 to 12 cups) of liquids every day. Ask your healthcare provider how much liquid to drink each day and which liquids are best for you.
- Apply heat: Heat helps decrease pain and muscle spasms. Apply heat on the area for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours for as many days as directed.
- Exercise: Ask your healthcare provider about the best exercise plan for you. Exercise can help you have regular bowel movements. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes every day.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have a change in your bowel movements.
- You have questions about the foods you should eat.
- You have a fever.
- You have new or worse pain in your left lower abdomen.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- You have black or bright red bowel movements.

Bethlehem Project holds Labor Day 5K
Since 1998, the Bethlehem Project at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral has reached out to not only help the homeless, but to keep families and individuals from losing their homes.
In order to raise funding to help those in need, the Bethlehem Project will hold its annual 5K "Home Run" walk/run, a mainstay of Labor Day weekend in Greensburg.
This year's event will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Monday at Lynch Field.
The course will take runners and walkers through downtown Greensburg and then back to Lynch Field on New Alexandria Road.
"We had a great event last year," said Sandi Kocian, pastoral assistant for Blessed Sacrament and coordinator of the Bethlehem Project. Last year, 224 participants finished the course, with participants ranging in age from 4 to 71, according to the event posting on the Running in the USA website.
"We had 283 participate, which is our highest yet," Kocian said. "This year we hope to see 300."
Over the past decade, 5K events have grown in popularity as a viable, fun way to raise funding for organizations and groups. Riding on the success of previous years, the folks of the Bethlehem Project decided to continue the popular event.
"We have more people every year," Kocian said. "We do have a lot of people who have been with us from the start, but every year there is more."
Kocian said that the event is so well-received and anticipated, that participants contact her in advance of the event to check in.
The route is appropriate for people of all ages and abilities.
"We see a lot of families," Kocian said. "It's something that they can enjoy together and we even have people that come who push strollers."
The course has been designed for both those who like to enjoy a stroll and those who take their runs a little more seriously.
"People have told us year after year how much they enjoy our event," Kocian said.
The event will feature a staggered start. Registration will be open at 7 a.m.
There are 15 separate age groups, with trophies going to the top overall male and female runners and walkers. Medals will go the second- and third-place finishers in the overall category, along with those who claim the top two spots in each age group.
Kocian said organizers are grateful for about 75 volunteers who come out every year to help with the event, from the civic workers who donate their time to the members of the police department and local volunteer fire departments.
"I am so touched and grateful every year to see these volunteers come out — over a holiday weekend — and donate their time," Kocian said. "I can honestly say that we would not be able to do this if it wasn't for the volunteers."
The proceeds from the event will go to the Bethlehem Project's work with the homeless and those who are on the brink of becoming so.
"We want to help the potential homeless of Westmoreland County," Kocian said. "We presently work with 14 different ZIP codes and we would love to be able to add more."
Kocian said that she personally speaks with the families and individuals who are helped through the work of the Bethlehem Project and urges anyone interested in helping the less fortunate in the community to come to the 5K.
"I would love to see more people come out and walk with us," Kocian said. "They can take part in the event, get a little exercise and know that they are helping people in the community — people right here, right in their own neighborhoods."

SPORTS>>Former Jacksonville star lifts Trojans past Jays
Arkansas-Little Rock sports information
UALR junior and former Jacksonville Red Devil Mike Smith got an offensive rebound and a putback with 6.4 seconds left to lift the Trojans (4-0) to a 71-69 victory over Missouri Valley Conference preseason favorite Creighton (3-1) on Tuesday night at the Jack Stephens Center.
UALR got off to a slow start and trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half, but rallied behind a dominating presence on the inside. The Trojans enjoyed a plus-20 rebounding margin over the Bluejays (46-to-26), scored 44 of their 71 points in the paint, and converted 15 offensive rebounds into 24 second-chance points. In the second half alone, the Trojans outrebound Creighton 25-to-9.
I couldnt be more proud of our guys tonight, and that is 1 through 14, said UALR head coach Steve Shields. We were very tenacious tonight as a basketball team. We faced a lot of adversity early on. We couldnt get the ball to fall and they were making some shots, but we stayed with it.
Smith, who was a game-time decision to play, recorded his sond double-double of the year with a 12-point, 10-rebound performance, while sophomore Matt Mouzy went 3-for-7 from three-point range en route to a team-high 15 points.
We certainly needed (Mike) tonight, and he stepped up big, added Shields.
UALRs deficit reached as high as 16 points, 34-18, after a putback by Chad Milliard with 5:05 to go, but the Trojans rallied behind the play of Courtney Jackson. The freshman from Paris, Texas went to work on the inside and scored eight of UALRs next 14 points as the Trojans closed out the half on a 14-5 run to pull within seven at the break, 39-32.
UALR continued to whittle away at Creightons lead by going 8-of-12 from the field at the start of the second half. Down 53-44, Mouzy connected on back-to-back three pointers to pull the Trojans within three, 53-50, with 11:34 to play.
Trailing 64-63, Courtney Jackson hit a hook shot from in close to give the Trojans a 65-64 lead with 2:10 remaining their first since leading 2-0 at the start of the game.
Creighton earned two trips to the line, but went just 2-of-4, to reclaim the lead 66-65 with 1:39 to go. UALR went to Smith on the next trip down the floor and he got behind his man and delivered a bucket in the paint to give UALR a 67-66 lead. After a missed jumper by Josh Dotzler, junior Steven Moore went to the line and sank a pair of clutch foul shots to make it a 69-66 contest with 47.5 seconds to go.
In addition to their strong play on the inside, the Trojans outshot Creighton 49.2 percent to 40.0 percent on the night. UALR shot 53.3 percent in the second half and held the Bluejays, who came in averaging 83 points per game, to a .370 field goal percentage in the second half.
They are a very good basketball team with a lot of skill. They are one of the best-coached teams in the country, said Shields.
I have a ton of respect for Dana Altman and the job that he has done over the years at Creighton.
UALR returns to action on today when it welcomes Loyola Marymount to the Jack Stephens Center at 7 p.m.

As Nuance's business has grown, so has its responsibility to keep corporate citizenship at the forefront of our operations. Running the business in an ethical manner comes naturally to our leaders, but there's so much more to being a good corporate citizen. At Nuance, we focus our efforts on four distinct areas: causes, community, environment and employees. Please read on to learn more about our efforts in each one.
At its very core, Nuance is about enabling technology to understand the human voice. It's a simple idea made possible through sophisticated technology – and its impact has proven to be utterly profound.
Nuance's technology has made information accessible to countless disabled individuals who might otherwise be without the basic conveniences we've all come to know as part of modern-day life. One need only read a few of the countless stories submitted through our "I Speak Dragon" contest to truly understand how Nuance solutions are changing lives.
Nuance is also at the forefront in preventing "distracted driving," an increasingly dangerous phenomenon resulting from the always-on nature of mobile communications and specifically, texting. At Nuance, we aspire to make the roads safer for all by making voice-enabled phone interactions the norm. The future is now; there's no need to wait.
The world we live in is a diverse one, made up of a patchwork of people, cultures and languages.
At Nuance, we have operations in 16 countries and a sales presence in more than 70, with employees in remote corners of the globe. As such, we understand the dynamics and cultural sensitivities of local markets and communities and bring a true global perspective to our solutions. There's no excuse for putting cutting-edge technology only into the hands of English speakers to the detriment of the rest of the world. Nuance provides technology that levels the playing field for a broad range of communities.
In the communities where Nuance offices reside, we continually participate in efforts to better the world around us. Whether it's volunteering at a local youth camp or organising clothing drives to benefit those in need, Nuance supports our local communities in a myriad of ways.
At Nuance, we understand the impact our company can have on the environment, and we take care to minimise our environmental footprint in every way possible.
From the efficient lighting in our offices to the fair-trade coffee in our break rooms, we know that all the seemingly little things can add up to make a big impact.
Here is just a sample of some of our efforts to reduce Nuance's impact on the environment:
Ask any Nuance employee what is the best part of the job, and more often than not, you'll hear "the people". Our people are the foundation for our cutting-edge technology, our industry-leading market position, our respect among customers. It's only right that we compensate them not just through competitive salaries and benefits, but also by providing the support needed to live a well-rounded life.
Nuance is proud to support remote working arrangements and flexible schedules wherever possible. In a recent employee survey, this flexibility was one of the most frequently cited responses to the question "What is your favourite thing about working at Nuance?"
Additionally, Nuance is pleased to provide the following for our employees:
But the intangible benefits that our employees enjoy at Nuance have perhaps an even greater impact on people's lives: the chance to work on products and solutions that touch and improve human lives; the opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry; and the never-ending set of challenges and opportunities just waiting to be addressed.

Hope Against a Scourge
It's the best news in years for the people of Shelter and Fire Islands, who have been suffering from an infectious plague that they have been unable to fight effectively, except by obsessively combing their bodies for deer ticks and taking endless rounds of antibiotics. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has changed its mind and decided to allow Shelter Island and parts of Fire Island to install four-poster deer-feeding stations, which coat the h,eads and necks of deer with a pesticide that kills the ticks that carry Lyme disease.
The problem with Lyme disease and other tickborne afflictions is that methods to prevent them tend to be indirect, time consuming, prohibitively expensive or distasteful. Ticks live on deer, and subduing deer is ferociously difficult. Deer-infested communities have spent years trying any number of 'approaches to keep them at bay, like recreational hunting and birth control, with dubious results. One ,strategy is to slaughter the deer, but many people hate that, and even if you turned every last suburban Bambi into steaks and sausage, you would not necessarily subdue the parasitic araclfnid that is at the root of this growing problem.
The four-poster device takes a different, lethally direct approach that offers some hope, at least in controlled circumstances. It was developed by a federal agriculture official and works by luring deer to a bin baited with corn kernels and rigged with rollers soaked with permethrin, a tick-killing pesticide. The deer eats and rubs against the rollers, and ticks die by the thousands. One station can treat all the . deer in about 100 acres.
New York bans four-poster devices because the Department of Environmental Conservation is not convinced that they are safe or effective; the department also opposes feeding wild deer. Feeding deer makes them congregate, which increases the risk of spreading chronic wasting disease.
We agree that it is generally a terrible idea to feed deer - or any wild creatures with a tendency to multiply uncontrollably. This is not only out of pity for chronically wasting deer, but because of the dangers that dependent deer pose to people, who drive into them on highways, and the damage that swelling herds of emboldened nibblers do to gardens, parks and woods.
But if feeding deer is a bad idea in general, it could be a very good one in isolated places like Shelter Island and Fire Island, where the herds are separated from the rest of the state deer population and where Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses constitute a genuine public health emergency.
A controlled experiment that directs a focused assault on ticks makes perfect sense, and is a welldeserved victory for the island residents who relentlessly pressured town and village officials to drop their resistance to four-poster devices. Credit should also go to Gov. George Pataki, who issued the order clearing the way for the four-poster study last month after being urged to do so in a letter from former Gov. Hugh Carey, a Shelter Islander who knows the problem well.
The next step is to pay up. New York State, Suffolk County and town and village officials on Shelter and Fire Islands should come up with funds to augment the private contributions that are even now being raised to finance the four-poster study. The tick scourge has gone on too long, and this should be the beginning of the end.

(CNSNews.com) – The Tea Party Express announced that it will be organizing its followers to defeat top House and Senate Democrats up for re-election in November. Among the "Tea Party Targets" are Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.).
The group, which has campaigned heavily in Nevada and Massachusetts, announced its list of targets and heroes at a Thursday press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The list included 13 targets – all Democrats – and 14 heroes – all Republicans except for Rep. Walter Minnick (D-Idaho). The list had previously contained the names of Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) until each man announced his retirement.
Tea Party Express political director Sal Russo told the crowd that the group would employ a strategy of rewarding political friends and punishing political enemies.
"It's a combination of rewarding our friends and punishing our enemies," Russo said.
He added that the group's aim was to attract as many like-minded people as possible, regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats, explaining that building a broad coalition was the only way for the group to achieve its policy goals.
"As someone who got his start working for on old actor in California back in 1966, when he eventually became president in 1980, it wasn't Republicans – just Republicans – that allowed us to get the tax cuts and our success in defeating Communism. It was his ability to Democrats – the Blue Dog Democrats – to join with Republicans to create a conservative majority," Russo said.
"So we can't be just a Republican organization. We've got to be an influential force in both political parties," he added.
Russo described the group as "a political movement, not a political party" saying that it was only concerned with fiscal and economic issues, not social or foreign policy. Anyone who adhered to the conservative economic values of the Tea Party would be welcomed by the group.
Reid is the group's top priority for defeat in 2010, Russo said, telling CNSNews.com that the senior Nevada senator was at the top of the Tea Party "hit parade."
"Harry Reid is, I think, still our prime number one on our hit parade. We started off, as I mentioned, with [Sen.] Chris Dodd who quit and [Sen.] Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) who changed parties and is now behind in the polls, and Harry Reid is behind in the polls."
Russo said that Sens. Reid, Dodd, and Specter were the group's top three targets, explaining that Dodd's retirement and Specter's defection to the Democratic Party left Reid alone at the top of the list.
"Those were our three. So if we can get rid of Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, and Arlen Specter, we'll consider it a good year."
Russo also expressed confidence in being able to defeat long-time Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), saying that Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) won Frank's district in his 2009 special election.
Brown's victory in Frank's normally safe district put the seat in play, Russo explained, saying that the Tea Party Express hoped to pin part of the blame for the 2008 financial crisis on Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
"The Barney Frank district, which you normally would think would be pretty safe for a Democrat, you know, Scott Brown won that district so we see opportunities there that – given his culpability for what he did in the housing crisis and his responsibility for that – we have a chance of winning a seat that normally we couldn't win," Russo told CNSNews.com.
Russo said that the campaign against veteran Democrats such as Frank and Reid would advance, "a day at a time," exploiting political opportunities where they arose and bringing a "full court press" to bear as the election neared, just as the group did in Brown's victory in Massachusetts.
"We've got to take it a day at a time," he said. "Politics changes, and so you have to seize your opportunities when they come. Look at the Scott Brown race – nobody thought we had a chance … I knew that you could win as a Republican in that state, but it was really tough.
"As I watched it develop over the course of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, I thought, 'You know, I think we have a shot here' so as soon as the new year was over we said, 'Let's give it a shot. We can make it interesting. If we can make it interesting maybe we can win it,'" Russo added.
"And we got in, and the polls narrowed, and so we went to full court press. We'll have to be flexible," he said.

Secret Ingredient Behind EYC RecipesApril 15th, 2014 in Reviews by Julia Volhina
This is not much of a review (or recipe), but more an attempt to show who and what stands behind each and every new recipe on EYC.
It is also a way for me to introduce you to my cats. I think it goes without saying – work on recipes would be much more boring without them helping me.

Clearly Fresh BagsJuly 17th, 2011 in Reviews by Julia Volhina
"How to keep products fresh longer after purchase?" is a question right answer to which can save you significant amount of money: if you don't need to throw spoiled food – then you don't need to restock.
Looking for more income, grocery stores are trying to make you buy bigger amounts giving smaller prices per item. However, what do you do when you buy these, but don't have immediate use for all of it?
I tried "Clearly Fresh Bags", read my review.

NBA-worst Wizards knock off NBA-best Thunder
WASHINGTON (AP) – Washington Wizards coach Flip Saunders decided to put Andray Blatche back in the starting lineup, and the home crowd responded by booing the struggling forward. When the Wizards got off to a slow start, they booed more heartily.
They were cheering by the end of the night, however, as the Wizards got their second win of the season, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-102 Wednesday and ending the visiting team's seven-game winning streak.
John Wall scored 25 points, Nick Young had 24 and Jordan Crawford added 18 for Washington, which had lost 12 of its first 13 games.

MORE: Zone no longer a dirty word in today's NBA
PHOTOS: Top shots from the week in NBA action
Blatche missed three games with a sprained right shoulder and came off the bench in the team's last game. He had 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and a lot of fun listening to the crowd.

"That was terrible," he said with a smile. "Oh man. We won, so if they want to do that and we win, I don't care."
Russell Westbrook scored 36 points and Kevin Durant had 33 for Oklahoma City, which lost for the third time in 15 games. During one stretch bridging the second and third quarters, the duo accounted for 21 of the Thunder's 23 points. Both slowed down after resting at the start of the fourth, missing 11 of 17 shots from the field.
Durant savors playing in his native Washington. He entered the game averaging 31.1 points against the Wizards — his best against any team.
"It's not the end of the world. We lost to a hungrier team than us," Durant said. "It hurts because we want to win every game, especially me. I want to win at home, but you've got to look past it."
Westbrook's total was a season high, but the Thunder got eight points from their other three starters.
"It's tough, especially when we weren't mentally focused to start the game. They stuck around and stuck around and they kind of got a win," Westbrook said.
Wall also had eight assists, seven rebounds and shot 13 of 14 from the line. He was sanguine about his team and its league-worst record.
"We know we're better than our record," Wall said. "You're still 2-12. You've still got a lot to do."
Washington proved to be pesky while breaking a four-game losing streak. After trailing by nine with 2:31 to play in the third quarter, the Wizards used strong three-point shooting to take an 88-85 lead with 6:43 remaining. Washington started 0-for-6 threes before making seven of 10 — including four by Young — late in the third and early in the fourth.
The Thunder took an 84-81 lead with 8:09 to play, but then hit one field goal in the next seven minutes.
Washington led 94-90 with 50.9 seconds left, but its lead could have been even greater as JaVale McGee missed four free throws in just over a minute and Young, who led the NBA in free-throw percentage before the game, missed three — two in the final minute.
With the Wizards ahead 96-92, Durant was called for an offensive foul with 38.8 seconds remaining. He also missed a three-pointer with 1.9 seconds left that would have tied the score.
"I still got a wide-open look. I just happened to not make it," Durant said.
The Thunder took a 51-46 halftime lead when Durant stole the ball from Crawford, dished to Westbrook, who returned it with a nice behind-the-back pass to Durant, who dunked it with a flourish. Moments later, he hit a fadeaway jumper and was fouled and converted the free throw.
As the Wizards took a brief lead, Westbrook kept Oklahoma City in the game with 10 second-quarter points.
NOTES: Washington outrebounded Oklahoma City 52-43. "We weren't going to be intimidated. We did get physical," Saunders said. … Thunder F Serge Ibaka and C Kendrick Perkins have each blocked at least one shot in every game — the only pair of teammates to do so. … Ibaka has blocked one in the last 28 games — an NBA high. … Wizards C Ronny Turiaf, who hasn't played since breaking his left hand Jan. 1, was in New York to have sutures removed from the hand.

Apply a DS bid strategy to keywords
When you apply a bid strategy to keywords, DoubleClick Search (DS) will use the properties you set in the bid strategy to determine the keywords' bids. You can, however, set min and max bids at the keyword level when you apply the bid strategy.
DS will never bid below the min bid or above the max bid.
If you don't set min and max bids at the keyword level, DS will use the min and max bids from the bid strategy level.
If you need to change a keyword's bid quickly, you can manually override the bid.
Follow these steps to apply a bid strategy to keywords:
Navigate to a keywords report.
For example, navigate to a campaign and click the Keywords tab.
Specify the keywords to which you want to apply a bid strategy by doing either of the following in the reporting table:
- Select the check boxes next to the keywords.
- Filter the table to display only the keywords that you want.
In the toolbar above the table, click the Edit ▼ button, and then click Change bid strategy.
The panel where you can select a bid strategy appears.
Under New bid strategy, click DoubleClick Search bid strategies.
In the right panel, under DoubleClick Search bid strategy, click the down arrow▼ to display the list of DS bid strategies.
Select one of the following items from the bid strategy list:
A bid strategy: The keyword will use the selected bid strategy instead of any bid strategy specified for the campaign or ad group.
No bid strategy (manual bidding): The keyword will never be managed by a bid strategy until you change this setting.
- Select the Set min/max bid check box.
Min bid and Max bid determine the lowest and highest amounts that a bid strategy will set for a keywords max CPC.
You can use the default min and max bids specified at the bid strategy level, or you can specify the min and max bid for the selected keywords.
- Do one of the following:
- To use the default bids, select the Use min and max bids set at bid strategy level check box.
- To specify the min and max bids at the keyword level, enter the bids. Note that the max CPC of each selected keyword must be greater than the min bid and less than the max bid.
- Optional. Schedule the change.
- Click Save.
Specify min and max bids in a bulksheet
- Download a keywords report and select the Editable columns (for re-upload) option.
- In the downloaded bulksheet's Bid strategy column, enter the bid strategy name.
- Enter the values in the Min Bid and Max Bid columns.
- To revert that keyword back to the default bids, enter inherited in the Min Bid and Max Bid columns.
Next steps:
After you apply a DS bid strategy, you can monitor bid strategy performance.

England squad profiles
BBC Sport Online's player-by-player guide to the England one-day squad.
Born: 8.4.63
Right-hand batsman; wicket-keeper
Back as captain as a result of Nasser Hussain's broken thumb two years after resigning the job following England's dismal showing at the last World Cup.
A veteran of 140 one-day internationals, Stewart scored 408 runs in last summer's triangular series against West Indies and Zimbabwe, including two centuries.
Alistair Brown
Born: 11.2.70
Right-hand batsman
Made his England debut against India five years ago and helped them to a 3-0 whitewash of India with an innings of 118 at Old Trafford.
Failed to establish a regular place thereafter, but reminded the selectors of his ability by scoring 108 not out in Surrey's B&H Cup quarter-final win over Sussex, which earned him the Gold Award.
Born: 21.11.68
Right arm fast bowler; right-hand batsman
A key member of England's attack because of his ability to bowl a tight line and length with the new ball.
Has not matched his wicket-taking feats in Test cricket, however, and figures of four for 19 against South Africa in Johannesburg more than two years ago are his best so far.
Born: 26.5.76
Right-hand batsman; right arm medium pace bowler
A spell in Australian club cricket during the winter transformed Collingwood from a promising county all-rounder into a player of international potential.
In prolific form with the bat for Durham in the County Championship but equally happy in the one-day game, as shown by scores of 89 and 95 not out in the B&H Cup.
Born: 7.8.71
Right arm fast medium bowler; right hand batsman
A proven performer performer in Test cricket, he is now back in the one-day squad after an absence of more than four years.
Cork played in the 1996 World Cup but was not suited by conditions in the sub-continent and will be keen to improve a modest record with both bat and ball.
Born: 25.5.70
Right arm off-break; right hand batsman
Keeps his place despite taking only two wickets at a cost of almost 40 each during the one-day series in Sri Lanka earlier this year.
Normally a reliable performer who varies his flight intelligently, he can also supply useful runs in the lower middle order.
Born: 27.8.69
Right arm medium pace bowler; right hand batsman
Seen as a one-day specialist by the selectors, Ealham has made more than 60 appearances since making his debut in 1996.
Enjoyed his finest moment in a one-day international when he took five for 15 against Zimbabwe in Kimberley on the 1999-2000 tour.
Born: 18.9.70
Right arm fast bowler; right hand batsman
An automatic selection in both forms of the game, Gough can always be relied on to give 150 per cent in England's cause.
Only managed four wickets in six one-day games in Pakistan and Sri Lanka during the winter, but has almost 140 victims in total at an average of under 25.
Born: 11.11.77
Right hand batsman; right arm fast medium bowler
Still a teenager when he began his international career with an astonishing innings of 63 off 48 balls against Australia at Lord's in 1997.
Scored 98 to help Surrey to an eight-wicket in the B&H Cup final in two months later, but has yet to turn his immense natural talent into consistent performances at international level.
Born: 28.11.69
Left hand batsman
Missed last summer's triangular series with a finger injury, but has scored almost 2,000 one-day runs for England, including three hundreds.
Clinched his place with an innings of 103 for his county in the B&H Cup quarter-finals, even though he finished on the losing side against Nottinghamshire.
Born: 12.7.69
Left arm fast medium bowler; right hand batsman
Highly rated around the world, Mullally's left arm swing and seam bowling provides welcome variety.
Now free of a rib problem which dogged him for most of last year, Mullally hopes to use the competition to press his claims for a recall to the Test squad.
Born: 22.10.78
Right hand batsman
Rated one of the best young batsmen in the country, Shah was added to the squad when Graham Thorpe suffered an injury.
Led England's under-19 side to victory at the 1997-98 Youth World Cup and has also toured Australia and Sri Lanka with England A.
Scored his maiden double century against Derbyshire earlier this season.
Born: 1.8.69
Left hand batsman
Happy to be Alec Stewart's first lieutenant after skippering England in the one-dayers in Sri Lanka earlier this year and ending up on the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline.
Thorpe can be relied on to keep the scoreboard ticking over with ones and twos, but would love to reach three figures for the first time.
Born: 25.12.75
Left hand batsman; right arm medium pace bowler
Called into the squad as a replacement against West Indies and Zimbabwe last summer, Trescothick did not waste the opportunity.
Made a half century in his first appearance and went on to become a regular in the Test and one-day sides. Scored three B&H Cup centuries in seven days and can also do a useful job if called on to bowl.
Born: 29.10.74
Right hand batsman; right arm off break bowler
Made his limited overs debut in Sri Lanka earlier this year after being added to the squad as a replacement for Nasser Hussain.
Only managed 35 runs in two innings, but his recent 125 not out off 128 balls for Yorkshire against Somerset in the B&H Cup proved he has the required range of strokes for one-day cricket.

Guided hunting and fishing trips are retail recreational services and therefore classified as retail sales. Persons providing guided hunting and fishing trips are required to collect and remit sales tax on their charges for this service. It doesn't matter whether the hunting or fishing guide provides the necessary equipment or gear to the customer, or the customer uses his or her own equipment and gear. (See our online article titled Recreational Services at a Glance.
Hunting and fishing guides must be registered with the Washington State Department of Revenue. In addition, income from providing guided hunting and fishing services is subject to business and occupation (B&O) tax under the retailing classification, though this B&O tax liability may be eliminated or reduced by the small business tax credit (See WAC 458-20-104). To register, complete a Business License Application.
The sales tax rate to collect is based on the place where the guide services begin in this state.
For a complete list of location codes and tax rates, see our Local Sales and Use Tax Rates and Changes flyer.
One Non-Itemized Charge or Separately Itemized Charges – For sales tax purposes, when a guided hunting or fishing trip is sold in a package deal that just includes prepared meals, and/or lodging accommodations, it doesn't matter whether the deal is for one non-itemized price or if the charges for the prepared meals and the lodging are separately stated. Sales tax applies on the total of the charges. The seller is also subject to retailing B&O tax on the gross income.
Example 1 – Jerry's Fishing Excursions offers a package deal that includes two days of guided fishing, overnight lodging accommodations, and two prepared meals per day for one non-itemized charge of $500.
In this case, Jerry's must collect sales tax on the $500 charge and would owe B&O tax on the same amount under the retailing classification.
Example 2 – Assume the same facts, except that the charges are separately itemized for the purchaser.
In this case, sales tax would be due on all of the itemized charges since each of these charges are individually subject to sales tax.
The separate charge for lodging would also be subject to any local lodging tax/fees that may be applicable to that location. See the Lodging Industry Guide for additional information or contact the Department.
However, if there are separately itemized charges for distinct products or services that are not subject to sales tax, then sales tax does not apply to the itemized charges for those nontaxable products or services.

As summer comes to an end it's time to get serious, not just about work and other responsibilities, but about your health. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and a critical time to discuss your prostate health with your doctor. Did you know that prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in men in the United States? Every year, more than 233,000 men will be told they have prostate cancer.
Men, here is what you need to know to reduce your risk for prostate cancer. Women, share this information with the important men in your life. When prostate cancer is detected early, men have a significantly higher chance of beating this disease.
Here are some FAQs with answers to help you reduce your risk for prostate cancer or have it detected in a treatable stage.
1. What is a prostate?
The prostate is a small organ about the size of a walnut that is located under the bladder and over the rectum. With age, the prostate can become larger- this growth is usually a benign condition known as an enlarged prostate, and it can be treated. However, it's important to make sure this problem isn't caused by prostate cancer first.
2. Am I at risk?
Prostate cancer is most common in men over the age of 50. African American men are 56% more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to Caucasian men and nearly 2.5 times as likely to die from the disease. Men with a first-degree relative (father, brother or son) with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease.
3. Should I get screened?
We recommend men talk to their doctor about the pros and cons of getting screened at age 50. If you are an African American male with a family history of prostate cancer, you should talk to your doctor about testing around age 40.
4. Can I help reduce my risk?
Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and not using tobacco products have been shown to help reduce your risk. Regardless of your lifestyle, you should discuss your prostate health with your doctor by age 50.
5. What are the symptoms?
Urinary problems, a painful or difficult erection and pain in the lower back, pelvis or upper thighs are all symptoms of prostate cancer. If you are experiencing any of these, talk to your doctor.
This month, talk to your friends and family about prostate cancer prevention and early detection. Keep that conversation going all year to help your loved ones stay cancer free. For more information on cancer prevention and early detection, visit preventcancer.org.

Chris how do you like the ubr stock? I know its heavy, which I dont think I'll necessarily mind.
I have a JP adjustable trigger on my SPR, and it breaks exactly at 3.5lbs. It's a great single stage trigger for precision use. I do load my own rounds for the SPR, though. I would never use that trigger setup for a combat/duty/training rifle, however. It has a very short travel with virtually no take-up and a very light reset. Not exactly the ideal trigger for non-precision applications. JP triggers are nice for precision and competition, but I would otherwise stay away from them. If you want an aftermarket trigger, the Spikes Combat or Mega Tactical triggers are less expensive triggers that you can benefit from without dropping the $170 for a high-end trigger like the Geissele triggers.
Personally, my next build (16" DMR build) will have a Geissele Super Dynamic Combat Trigger. I got my hands on a Geissele last month for a little bit, and those are SMOOOOOOTH.
As for the UBR, that stock is designed to be heavier to counter-balance the rifle. If you have a longer barrel and you have a heavier match type barrel like a Noveske stainless or the BCM SS410, the UBR will give you better balance to move the COG point further back. For lighter rifles, the UBR makes it ass-end heavy, which some people like for better/faster barrel swinging while transitioning between targets, but I know some people don't like it like that.

With a curious college football nation freshly interested in seeing what Utah would do against the Oregon State Trojan-killers, the Utes showed their hand, alongside their poise and talent, accomplishing what USC couldn't: Beat the Beavers.
Final numbers on the board: Utah 31, OSU 28.
Or was it Utah 1, USC 0?
Yeah, the game's context was as important as its result.
And the result was nothing short of remarkable.
Plainly put, the Utes were dead late in this game. Their busting of the BCS was kissed goodbye. Their promise of a battle of the local unbeatens on Nov. 22 was toast. Their high national ranking? Gonzo.
And then . . . Wow.
How do we set this up? A lot easier than explaining it.
With 2:18 to play, Utah was down, 28-20, and the prospects for erasing that margin were beyond remote. An offense that hadn't scored a single point in the second half, and that at times looked comical, suddenly blew up for 11 points, winning the game on a 37-yard Louie Sakoda field goal as time ran out.
When the dust stirred by a 25-yard Brian Johnson touchdown pass to Bradon Godfrey, a Johnson two-point conversion, a defensive stand, and a six-play, 35-yard drive that set up King Louie settled, the Utes strutted off the field victors, as their fans went nuts.
Magic happens when you play right.
And the Utes waited until those last minutes and seconds to do so, hauling their carcasses out of a bitterly disappointing loss at home. They relinquished a 20-9 first-half lead, and, then, suddenly, revealed character nobody was quite sure they possessed.
Their effort was collected. It was calm. It was clutch.
As for the context, let's back up, because it makes all the above that much more amazing.
Thursday night's match at Rice-Eccles had rolled into a convergence of circumstances that led to unique opportunity, particularly for the undefeated Utes. Along with other ranked non-BCS-league teams, Utah was something of a puzzle across the land, an unknown that led not just to vague doubts about how terrific it really was, but also to specific questions:
Was it worthy of its No. 15 ranking? Did the Utes deserve their even higher rankings designated by the BCS computer formulas, a couple of which had Utah among the country's elite? How would these guys from the backwoods of the Mountain West look against OSU, especially compared to the unsuccessful effort put up last week by the former top-rated team from L.A.?
One by one, the answers flowed forth.
Yes. Maybe. Good, at least at the very end.
Even Beaver coach Mike Riley's interest was primed and piqued. He called the game against Utah "huge."
For all the questions and reasons already mentioned, this was bigger than just huge for the Utes, despite the fact that Oregon State now is a sub-.500 club.
Guilt by association suggests, however incorrectly, that Utah is better than USC.
Here's how and why:
First and foremost, they won.
Second, the Utes had to pass the Quizz.
Utah's defense did an admirable, if imperfect job, containing OSU running back Jacquizz Rodgers. Sort of. Moreover, only one of the Beavers' first-half touchdowns was scored by their offense. The other - OSU trailed, 20-15 at the midway point - came via a picked Johnson pass deep in Utah territory. When the Utes had to have a stop late, they got it.
Utah's offense was inconsistent, blowing scoring chances from short range, and turning the ball over, but beauty points were unnecessary.
At the end, when the Utes needed a comeback, just like the nation's No. 1 team needed one a week ago, they gutted up and followed through.
And with fresh interest from a curious college football nation hanging thick on Thursday night, their timing couldn't have been better.

Virtually all polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) originate from primary producers but can be modified by bioconversions as they pass up the food chain in a process termed trophic upgrading. Therefore, although the main primary producers of PUFA in the marine environment are microalgae, higher trophic levels have metabolic pathways that can produce novel and unique PUFA. However, little is known about the pathways of PUFA biosynthesis and metabolism in the levels between primary producers and fish that are largely filled by invertebrates. It has become increasingly apparent that, in addition to trophic upgrading,
Recent special issues of this journal have highlighted the importance of the marine environment as a source of bioactive lipids ("Marine Lipids") and of marine algae as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ("Marine Algae") (e.g., [
Primary production of PUFA in the marine environment can occur in photosynthetic microalgae, heterotrophic protists, and bacteria.
Fish, like all vertebrates, cannot synthesize PUFA
Biosynthetic pathways of LC-PUFA from C18 PUFA, α-linolenic acid (18:3
The interest in LC-PUFA biosynthesis pathways in fish has been stimulated by the drive towards increasing sustainability of aquaculture through replacing the traditional major feed ingredients, fish meal and fish oil, derived from pelagic (reduction) fisheries with more sustainable alternatives such as plant meals and vegetable oils. As vegetable oils do not contain LC-PUFA, but are rich in C18 PUFA, there has been considerable research into the pathways of endogenous production of EPA and DHA in fish species [
Molluscs are arguably the group among marine invertebrates in which biosynthesis of PUFA has been most extensively investigated, in part due to commercial interest and perceived nutritional value of molluscs as sources of "omega-3" for humans [
Molluscs, like other marine invertebrates [
Biochemical studies have suggested that molluscs possess elongase(s) involved in the biosynthetic pathways of PUFA including NMI fatty acids. Thus,
The increasing availability of DNA sequence data has revealed the presence of elongase-like genes in the genomes of several species of molluscs. Thus,
Long-chain PUFA have been regarded as essential nutrients for cephalopods, particularly in early life-cycle stages [
A cDNA encoding a front-end desaturase was isolated from
Putative PUFA biosynthetic pathways in cephalopods from C18 PUFA, α-linolenic acid (18:3
We have recently confirmed the existence of a cDNA encoding an Elovl involved in the production of LC-PUFA in the cephalopod
As alluded to above, marine invertebrates are a possibly unique source of unusual PUFA, the NMI fatty acids, as opposed to the common methylene-interrupted PUFA, in that their double (ethylenic) bonds are separated by more than one methylene group. First discovered (reported) in the 1970s, these ubiquitous, although generally minor, components of the lipids of invertebrates have been extensively studied ever since (for review, see [
The fatty acid composition of polar lipids prepared from adult octopus tissues (nephridium, male gonad, eye, and caecum) revealed the presence of four NMI fatty acids that were identified as Δ5,1120:2, Δ7,1320:2, Δ5,11,1420:3, and Δ7,1322:2, using GC-MS methodologies [
Fatty acids from sponges, particularly of the class Demospongiae, have unique structural characteristics that include long fatty acyl chains (up to 34 carbons), presence of branched chains and functional groups, relatively high degrees of unsaturation (up to six double bonds), and a particular pattern of unsaturation within the fatty acyl chain [
Data available in the literature demonstrate that the ability of crustaceans for LC-PUFA biosynthesis varies among species, with no obvious patterns associated with phylogenetics (classes/subclasses) or habitat (freshwater/marine). For example, harpacticoid copepods, but not calanoid species, have the ability to biosynthesize LC-PUFA, possibly related to poor quality of food available in detritus-rich habitats. Thus, the presence of desaturases and elongases involved in the biosynthesis of PUFA have been demonstrated in harpacticoid copepods [
While the ability for endogenous LC-PUFA biosynthesis in some crustaceans has often been indicated through indirect analytical (compositional) approaches, more direct (biochemical and/or molecular) evidence demonstrating the above mentioned enzymatic activities are scarce and thus the specific biosynthetic pathways remain elusive. Recent investigations have shown the existence of a putative desaturase from the Chinese mitten crab,
Some ability for endogenous production of LC-PUFA has also been reported in other crustaceans including the branchiopoda
The presence of other organisms, including primary producers, within some invertebrates, which complicates the unequivocal identification of PUFA and/or LC-PUFA biosynthetic pathways, is particularly pertinent when considering cnidarians that have symbiotic interactions with dinoflagellate microalgae (zooxanthellae) that are able to synthesize PUFA [
Little is known about PUFA biosynthesis and metabolism in tunicates, formerly known as urochordates. However, embryonic development in ascidian tunicates (sea squirts) is simple, rapid, and easily manipulated which, along with transparency, has made them suitable models for studying the fundamental developmental processes of chordates. As a result, good genomic resources are available and, indeed, the genome of the sea squirt,
As mentioned previously, increasing availability of genomic data from invertebrate organisms is a useful tool for the identification of possible desaturase and elongase genes with potential roles in the biosynthesis of PUFA and/or LC-PUFA. Thus, some desaturases with high homology to vertebrate Fads-like proteins, and to the ∆5-like desaturases from molluscs, can be found in the GenBank public database. These include desaturases in
Almost all PUFA originate in microalgae, bacteria and heterotrophic protists inhabiting aquatic ecosystems. Fish, occupying relatively high trophic levels within aquatic systems, can significantly contribute to trophic upgrading as they have the ability to metabolize PUFA to produce LC-PUFA. However, the pathways of PUFA biosynthesis in invertebrates, organisms occupying trophic levels between the primary producers and fish in aquatic ecosystems, have remained largely unexplored. Particularly challenging in the study of fatty acid metabolism in invertebrates is the potential presence of microflora and symbiotic organisms with active metabolic pathways that can hinder the unequivocal assignment of enzymatic activities to the host invertebrate. Molecular studies clearly emerge as a valuable strategy to address this challenge and, thus, significant progress is now being made to understand the biosynthetic pathways and mechanisms producing LC-PUFA in marine invertebrates.
Data available in the literature provide evidence that marine invertebrates possess and express genes encoding desaturase and elongase enzymes with a role in the endogenous production of LC-PUFA. Ever-increasing genomic data derived from sequencing projects conducted for a wide range of marine invertebrates is providing an excellent source of molecular evidence supporting the existence of these biosynthetic pathways. While potential candidates for both desaturase and elongase genes have been identified in sponges, cnidarians, annelids, echinoderms, hemichordates, and tunicates, a more robust set of data combining analytical, biochemical and molecular evidence is available for crustaceans and, particularly, molluscs. Using the common octopus as model species, we have begun to elucidate pathways for the biosynthesis of PUFA in cephalopods and possibly other molluscs. To this end, several genes encoding desaturases and elongases that are directly involved in the production of PUFA have been identified by molecular cloning, and functionally characterized by heterologous expression in yeast. A Δ5 desaturase has been confirmed in the cephalopods, octopus and cuttlefish [
Fatty acid elongation systems have also been described in marine invertebrates.
Studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying PUFA and LC-PUFA biosynthesis in marine invertebrates are not only illuminating alternative and unusual biosynthetic pathways and metabolism, but are also providing insights to gene and pathway evolution, as well as being a resource that can supply potentially valuable molecular tools in the form of genes involved in PUFA biosynthesis and metabolism.

Elections Canada is combing through internal Conservative Party e-mails and database records as it tries to close in on Guelph robo-call scammer "Pierre Poutine," sources said.
The election watchdog has gained access to the electronic logs that track who drew down information from the party's database of voters in the riding of Guelph during the 2011 campaign.
Elections Canada is looking for evidence that the tightly held list was used by one or more political operatives as fodder for robo-calls that directed non-Tory supporters in the Ontario riding to the wrong polling station in the 2011 ballot.
Agency investigators are operating on the assumption that the hunt for the fake-call culprit who hid behind the alias "Pierre Poutine" will lead to the local Tory campaign in Guelph.
The Conservatives keep track of supporters and other voters through a massive database called the constituency information management system (CIMS), which was created and expanded under Stephen Harper's leadership of the party.
Access to CIMS is controlled through personal accounts with passwords. One person familiar with the local Guelph campaign estimated that perhaps 10 to 15 people working there had personal CIMS accounts.
"Everything is logged," a Conservative source said.
Someone familiar with the investigation said that CIMS records indicate Michael Sona, then-communications director to candidate Marty Burke, never used his CIMS account to draw down lists of voters during the campaign.
Mr. Sona resigned from his job with Tory MP Eve Adams's office near the outset of the robo-call controversy. Anonymous Conservative sources have repeatedly alleged – without proof – that he played a role in the fake calls that were routed through RackNine, an Alberta firm that is not suspected of wrongdoing.
Mr. Sona has publicly protested his innocence, saying he left Ms. Adams's office only because the allegations swirling in the media prevented him from doing his job.
Conservative Party spokesman Fred DeLorey said the party has willingly turned over confidential records to Elections Canada to help its probe in Guelph. The party has not been served with a court order requiring it to do so.
"We have proactively reached out to Elections Canada and offered to assist them in any way we can," Mr. DeLorey said. "That includes handing over any documents or records that may assist them."
He would not divulge what the party handed over "as we do not want to compromise any part of the investigation."
Separately on Tuesday, friends of Mr. Sona's said the former Conservative staffer is eager to prove he isn't Pierre Poutine by submitting to a test. RackNine CEO Matt Meier spoke to the unknown man who set up the Pierre Poutine account at his calling firm and Mr. Sona has told friends he would like to participate in a "voice lineup" that challenges Mr. Meier to identify the caller.
Mr. Sona has told former co-workers he learned from the Sun News Network that he was being fingered by Conservative sources in connection with the phony calls. Friends say the ex-aide was sitting in his office in late February when Sun News broke a story that Tories had tied him to "a robo-calling scandal."
The Sun News Network was the first media outlet to link Mr. Sona to the controversy.
The former aide has told friends he was stunned that nobody from the Conservative Party had ever mentioned a word of this to him before.
He told them he offered his resignation to Ms. Adams and she initially refused it – but later accepted it after receiving a call from Jenni Byrne, now director of political operations at the Conservative Party. She served as national campaign manager for the Tories in 2011.
Elections Canada has alleged a political operative using the name Pierre Poutine engineered an off-the-books scheme via robo-calls and a disposable cellphone to discourage opposition voters from casting ballots in Guelph.
Mr. Sona has repeatedly told co-workers that there's no way he had the technical skills to engineer the robo-calls, telling them he fared poorly in math at school and that his computer knowledge is limited to one computer science course.
Other sources familiar with the Conservative Guelph campaign said key officials knew in the days before the 2011 election that the Tories would lose the riding since the results from advance polls put them too far behind to catch up with the Liberals.
Also on Tuesday, the Liberal Party boasted that it had sent data on its robo-calls in the 2011 election to Elections Canada. It said this included the scripts and recordings of automated phone messages.
Elections Canada is fielding complaints from dozens of other ridings in which voters complain that live or automated calls sent them to the wrong polling station.
The NDP and the Liberals have compiled examples of about 30 ridings where the script of the calls was basically the same: A call purporting to be from Elections Canada falsely informed the listener that their polling station was changed due to high voter turnout.
This pattern hints at a bigger scheme, opposition parties charge.
"Liberals are committed to co-operating with this investigation," Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae said. "We are setting the standard for openness and transparency, and we expect that all other political parties will follow suit."
Speaking to reporters later, Mr. Rae acknowledged the bounty of materials provided to Elections Canada did not include information on a Liberal robo-call in Guelph that attacked Conservative candidate Marty Burke for his stand on abortion.
"That was a local call that doesn't have much to do with the national campaign," Mr. Rae said.
The Liberals late last week admitted they had funded an anti-Burke robo-call during the Guelph race – a message that didn't include the acknowledgment it was authorized by them.
Liberal spokesman Dan Lauzon said that Guelph Liberal MP Frank Valeriote and his staff have already proven "forthcoming and co-operative" with Elections Canada over their robo-call.Report Typo/Error

Christina Hendricks: "American Beauty Live" at TIFF
Dusting off her stage chops, Christina Hendricks showed up at the Jason Reitman All-Star Cast Table Read of "American Beauty" at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (September 6).
The "Mad Men" hottie donned a black velour pants suit and maroon heels as she strolled into the venue where she read the part of Carolyn Burnham, originally played by Annette Bening in the film version.
In a previous interview, Jason Reitman explained that having Christina and Bryan Cranston play the leads was an ideal combination.
"When I think of those two roles, I think of Bryan Cranston and Christina Hendricks because they know how to balance domestic drama while making it scary and hilarious at the same time. There's an intensity and hilarity to both of them. ...When I think of Christina on 'Mad Men' and Bryan on 'Breaking Bad,' that is the balance of both shows: they deal with extreme drama that can be funny at any moment, and that's really at the heart of 'American Beauty.'"
Enjoy the pictures of Christina Hendricks at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival (September 6).
