At some point later in the season it might be kind of fun to take one picture of all the PD members attending a game at one time.
If possible a quick group picture of all members at center court before or after the game. PD being one of the largest fan sites it could be one heck of a picture.

Look for our MotoRAZR VE20 review soon!
MotoRAZR VE20 Specifications
1. (unregistered)
Motorola needs to improve. They need a 360 degree change. They need to hire new designers, new technology people. Why can't they change the look on their phones? every time a new phone is announced or released, it has the same keyboard, the same style. Shame, shame, shame.
2. (unregistered)
just becaues the keyboard is made from metal, doesnt make it the same. it has a totally different designed keypad than the razr. There are many phones with metla keypads out there. it makes them seem more high end. And this phone has a large enternal display with a touchscreen. I dont see why people complain so much about motorla. It doesnt really even look like the razr.This one has a mostly glossy front screen while the origonal razr was mostly metal on the front. The back of this phone looks awesome with the laser etched backhousing. This does not really look like a razr other than the thin profile and similar build materials

360 degrees would be exactly back where they are. do me a favor and go back to 5th grade. (180 degrees i would agree on) idiot!

Motorola is an excellent company. One of my first, and my very favorite, handsets was the Motorola StarTac. It felt really good in the hand, it did everything I needed it to, there was no chance of me pushing the buttons because it was a flip... I loved it! Since then, I've had a number of different phones, and nothing has compared to the StarTac in feel, but of course there have been many upgrades in technology. I so wanted to love the RAZR when it first came out. It was thin, new & had excellent marketing. However, when it arrived I HATED it. It's too light (a plus for some), it feels like a piece of driftwood in my hand. Also, it's too wide. I also didn't like the sound quality. So I waited... I got Helio... When the VE20 came out I didn't even notice it. It's grey, the picture on Sprint's website has an NFL logo...but when I picked one up & held it at Best Buy, I realized that it was time to go back to Moto. I've only had mine for a couple of days, but I love the feel (if feels like my StarTac) , the metal keypad is nice, both screens (inside & out) are big & clear, the 2.0 mp camera takes great pictures & the outside touch screen is very responsive. Give RAZR a chance...the VE20 is fantastic!

This phone absolutely smokes most of Sprint's mid range line up. I've played with it, and it's software is snappy and functional. If you line this up next to a Sanyo Eclipse, or Samsung M520 it is a much better phone dollar to feature. In fact, this phone is modestly comparable to the V9m. Stop hating on Motorola. You guys are nuts. Sprint can't get European phones and as far as american CDMA goes this a a quality handset. Fanboys, grow up and think about it carefully.
6. (unregistered)
um, no. moto has proven time and time again that they put out crappy products and shine them up to look good for the first few months before the shit hits the fan. not to mention that their product line is incredibly stale. this should have been what came to sprint instead of the v3m, nearly two years ago.
9. (unregistered)
this comment is left by an obvious jack ass. s/he probably thinks t-mobile is amazing releasing 2g phones. what a dumb ass.
4. (unregistered)
I'm on VZW (for the record). My fiancee owned a V9m. If the build quality is even close, it'll be a tank. The V9m is as close to the quality of the legendary e815 as I have seen. My fiancee's V9m finally met it's fate. It took over 9 months of toddler abuse (teething), a dip into a sink full of water, a iced tea spill, and countless falls. It almost seems like the G'Zone torture tests, lol. I hope, for Sprint's sake, this handset is close in quality.
5. (unregistered)
Moto needs some new management with different visions. They had something going but have failed to really evolve it into anything new. Noone wants to see the same phone slightly tweaked year after year after year.
7. C-Chicki (unregistered)
Will moto just let the Razr die? PLEASE, for everyones sanity
10. (unregistered)
Enough with the "let the RAZR die" bullcrap. You people are morons. If the damn things weren't selling, then Motorola would obviously stop making them. Obviously they are still selling. I deliver the mail and I see many people with RAZR's everyday, no matter what carrier they are using. People like them for a reason, whatever it may be. What are you going to do, tell Honda to stop making the Accord just because you don't like it??

I just got the motorazrVE20, I like what it offers an the look. I'm not to happy at all about the fact that I can not use my microSD card, in the since that i have tons of music on it some clips an some the whole song for the purpose of a ringer i.d./contact i.d... I jus think that totally sucks. My e815 i miss it, it was a GREAT tough phone, had know problems or bogus on-line shit to deal with...I like having songs for ringer i.d's, i know who's- who by the song, don't even hav 2 look @ the phone....Is there anyone who is able to personalize there contacts i.d ringer, and i don't mean tones, but i do mean tunes from music that u picked out from your microSD card.??? If so how?

CONTROVERSIAL proposals to cut £8.7 million from funding for vulnerable people in Worcestershire should be rejected, says a leading politician.
Councillor Chris Bloore, from the county council's Labour group, says he fears for the consequences if the Supporting People budget is slashed by 60 per cent.
He believes taxpayers could be landed with bigger long-term costs if the money is taken away once the current consultation ends.
As your Worcester News revealed two weeks ago, the funding helps bodies such as Worcester Community Housing, St Paul's Hostel and the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Coun Bloore said: "The Supporting People programme has been a huge a success. It has saved money by getting in early to help some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
"It has also been a big money-saver for the taxpayers by using early intervention before the costs of care rocket.
"These cuts will be devastating to so many people who are often unheard and ignored, and they are looking to us for protection."
Figures previously reported by your Worcester News show 1,327 people approached Worcester City Council from April 2012 to March 2013, saying they were at risk of becoming homeless. In the first six months of this financial year 589 such approaches have been made.
Coun Bloore also said an in-house council report, dating back to 2010, which lauded the success of Supporting People, is a major reason why it should not be scrapped.
But the council says genuine evidence about how the intervention spending has saved money long-term is thin on the ground.
The Conservative cabinet wants to reduce the budget because of unprecedented cuts in Government funding.
Coun Sheila Blagg, cabinet member for adult social care, said: "We will consult service users and members of the public about proposals for prevention, help and other support services for adults and housing related assistance for young people.
"It is vitally important that anyone who has a view does come forward and takes part so that we can make an informed decision when the consultation closes on January 21 next year.
"No decisions will be made until this happens and any decision will ensure that those adults who are eligible for adult social care will continue to receive it."
The Supporting People spending, which is entirely discretionary, is aimed at rough sleepers, domestic abuse victims and other at-risk groups.
As your Worcester News revealed this month some councils including authorities in Gloucestershire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire have no such budget.

The Grivel Speedy represents one of the most significant changes in ice screw design saving you time and weight when you need it most. The speedy ice screw is an innovative new take on what was already a great screw. The handle makes the screw go in with ease, the captive quick draw allows the screw to be clipped to the rope as the screw is placed and eliminates the risk of it being dropped. Thanks to a clever rotating shackle once the Speedy is partially driven in it can be clipped before finishing the job meaning you are on belay as soon as possible. In addition when your second is stripping the route the screws can be removed without being unclipped from the rope meaning you're less likes to loose your beloved Speedy's. Finally the Speedy is equipped with both a standard eyelet and an auxiliary eyelet for tidier racking, as well as a tough tooth protector that fits snugly on the winding handle when not in use so it doesn't get lost.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
ok after tweaking
by the recipe, was very blah even doubling the lemon juice. The crust should have some brown sugar in it....too bland. And I did not love the sour cream on top. I mixed lemon instant pudding in cool whip and layered that on top and then I really liked it.
Extremely Easy and sooo good!
This recipe was extremely easy to make, the cheescake was so creamy, everybody loved them. I'd make them again.
The crust tastes like shortbread. Creamy lemon cheesecake. My husband loves it.
Nice and smooth
This recipe was easy to make and my kids loved it.
Lemon flavoring
i just loved this receipe I added lemon flavoing to the icing.

After four months, Israeli and Arab negotiators returned here for a new round of Middle East peace talks this week.
The talks are being conducted under a new format designed to shield participants from the media scrutiny that accompanied previous rounds of negotiations.
The latest round of talks that Israel is holding separately with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinians began Monday, with meetings held at undisclosed locations here.
Previous rounds were held at the State Department and featured media "stakeouts," where waiting reporters asked negotiators questions about the progress of the talks as the diplomats entered and left the building.
This time, there were no stakeouts, and only the heads of the various delegations were expected to participate in the talks, in contrast to previous rounds, which featured larger negotiating teams.
Separate negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians being held in the Sinai border town of Taba unexpectedly adjourned for the week on Monday, after only one day of meetings.
Israeli sources said the two sides were hoping for a breakthrough next weekend, when Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres are scheduled to meet in the Swiss town of Davos. The two met last weekend in Oslo, Norway.
In Jerusalem, meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continued on yet another track when Egyptian Foreign Minister Amre Moussa held meetings Monday with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.
The Egyptians have been acting as mediators between the Israelis and Palestinians.
In Washington, the decision to hold the talks in undisclosed locations was made in an effort to give all the sides room to negotiate new positions without having to disclose every step in the bargaining to the news media.
The Washington talks are "not secret, but we have felt that they would be most productive if the emphasis was on making progress and not just on making publicity," State Department spokeswoman Christine Shelly told reporters Monday.
The United States, which is serving as co-sponsor of the Middle East peace talks along with Russia, is not participating in the negotiations between Israel and its neighboring states. But U.S. officials have expressed their willingness to step in if there is a request for their assistance.
Foreign Minister Peres discussed the prospects for peace between Israel and Syria in a conference call Monday with members of the American Jewish press.
"If they will specify what is peace and normal relations, it will be an important step forward," Peres said of the Syrians.
Following the meeting between President Clinton and Syrian President Hafez Assad last week in Geneva, attention has focused on the Israeli-Syrian track, which has been stalled for four months.
The Israelis have been waiting for the Syrians to define whether they seek merely a "cold peace" or a fuller peace that would include an exchange of ambassadors, open borders and free trade.
The Syrians, meanwhile, are waiting for the Israelis to specify their plans for withdrawing from the Golan Heights.
Administration officials and some political analysts believe the Clinton-Assad meeting represented a step forward in the Israeli-Syrian waiting game.
At a news conference after the meetings, Assad uttered the word "normal" in the context of possible future relations among Middle Eastern countries – a word trumpeted by American officials as a positive gesture on the Syrian leader's part.
But the Americans took a more optimistic view of Assad's comment than the Israelis, who remained skeptical.
Yet in a briefing in Jerusalem to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Rabin spoke of sings of new flexibility in Syria's position on the nature of a peace accord with Israel.
The prime minister stressed, however, that Syria had not budged from its demand for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
During Monday's conference call, Peres said he did not think the recent death of Assad's eldest son, Bassel – whom Assad was apparently grooming to take his place one day – would affect the talks in Washington.
"It is not connected in any way with the negotiations," he said of Bassel Assad's death.
The foreign minister also said he believed the Israeli people would support their government's policies in a referendum concerning a possible Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
Rabin announced last week that he would hold a public referendum before embarking on any "major" withdrawal from the Golan.
Although the spotlight here in Washington seemed to be on the Israeli-Syrian track, Israeli negotiators were also meeting here with their Jordanian, Lebanese and Palestinian counterparts.
On the Jordanian negotiating track, regarded by many as less problematic than either the Syrian or Palestinian track, Peres said there were no "real obstacles to arrive at a full agreement and a full peace."
The Israeli and Palestinian delegation heads, meanwhile, are not duplicating the work already under discussion by Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Taba.
Peres explained Monday that the Taba talks deal specifically with translating September's declaration of principles singed by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization "into a full agreement."
The talks in Washington are dealing with other issues, such as the nature of future Palestinian elections and the structure of the Palestinian elected body, Peres said.
In Taba on Monday, the Israeli-PLO negotiations focused exclusively on issues of telecommunications and media.
The director-general of Israel's Communications Ministry, Shalom Wax, led Israeli officials in detailed and technical discussions with the Palestinians on the creation of Palestinian radio and television facilities.
The negotiators at Taba avoided discussing security issues – apparently because both sides were aware that the meeting last weekend in Oslo between Arafat and Peres, while registering significant progress, had not yet achieved the breakthroughs needed for implementation of the accord.
Among the security issues that have delayed the start of implementation, scheduled to begin Dec. 13, is the question of who will control the border crossings between the Gaza Strip and Egypt and between the West Bank town of Jericho and Jordan.
In Jerusalem, Peres told reporters after meeting with the Egyptian foreign minister that he was hopeful progress could be made with Arafat.
But, he added, "don't let's describe things that still need to be concluded as though they were already concluded."
In his conference call with Jewish journalists, the foreign minister said he had engaged in a "down-earth talk" with Arafat in Oslo.
The two were at the funeral of the late Norwegian foreign minister, Johan Jorgen Holst, who helped broker the Israeli-PLO self-rule accord.
They will meet again Saturday night in Davos, Switzerland, where regional and world leaders will be attending an economic conference.
Before then, their aides will meet to draw up a paper setting out the points of agreement and dispute that emerged from the meetings in Oslo last weekend.

Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette
Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette Reviews
I Liked ItI owned this fragrance at one time and I liked it for awhile. It's fruity, floral, and spicy (if that's possible) Then it started to smell like every other perfume out there so I don't wear it anymore. Givenchy made what I thought unique for a time. Maybe I got bored with it. But you can get the mini pretty cheaply now, so you may want to try it. — 8 years, 4 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

WomanlyThis is a very floral scent. I'm not sure how to discribe exactly how it smells dated, but it totally does. It suspect it was initially released in the 80s or early 90s. Not that I think that is neccesarily a bad thing. I love that this is the kind of scent that lingers in the air, it is also unique, if someone in he room is wearing it, I have no doubt about which fragrance it is, I feel that thes...read moree two qualities make it an excellent signature fragrance. But at 26, this isn't one I could wear every day, it's not musky, but it's not fresh and young either. I suspect this is one I may grow into. Overall, it smells lovely and feminine and I do recommend it. — 5 years, 5 months agoElphieGranger | 80 reviews

Different.This has a very different smell about it, it is almost soapy/bath like, then powdery and sensual. I actually had a guy where I use to work ask to see the tester of this fragrance and he told the girl he was with to smell it and he sprayed her with it and then was all over her, I had to ask that they continue elsewhere. So it attracts men and some more intense then others! Christmas is a great time to buy this because Givenchy usually has a collection of miniatures as a gwp. — 8 years, 11 months agothedragonslady | 483 reviews

Olympic Committee, Sponsors Stand By Michael Phelps
One day after a photo of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps apparently holding a bong to his mouth was published by the News of the World, the International Olympic Committee has chimed in on the matter.
ESPN reports that the IOC said today it was sure Phelps, 23, would learn from the "inappropriate behavior" detailed by both the News' photo and article, and that the Olympian would continue to maintain his role model status.
As well, Phelps' big-money sponsor Omega deemed the incident a "nonissue," while Speedo, who also has a deal with the athlete, noted, he remains a "valued member of the Speedo team."
Britain's News of the World unleashed a media firestorm after running its story detailing a party-filled weekend Michael Phelps took part in last November in South Carolina.
The Baltimore-born swimmer issued a statement soon after, which was printed by the New York Times.
"I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me," he said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."
Current World Anti-Doping Agency rules state an athlete is subject to sanctions only for a positive test during competition periods.
ESPN also notes that Speedo, which has been involved with Phelps since 2001, issued their own press release: "In light of Michael Phelps' statement yesterday, Speedo would like to make it clear that it does not condone such behavior and we know that Michael truly regrets his actions."
The sportswear company added, "Michael Phelps is a valued member of the Speedo team and a great champion. We will do all that we can to support him and his family."
For now, it seems Phelps has managed to avoid taking a dive with his endorsers. What do you think on the matter?

Press release
SMART, the new EUREKA Advanced Manufacturing research program, will offer leading industrial sectors the opportunity to include their own priorities in the research and development of advanced processes, products and services, to meet the challenges and take advantage of the fourth industrial revolution that is taking place at the moment and will have a profound impact on the future of industrial manufacturing. SMART will submit the Cluster applicant label before the end of the Spanish chairmanship next July 2017.
At present, 70 organisations, distributed among 9 countries - Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, France, Finland, Portugal, Sweden and Turkey - have expressed their interest in participating in future SMART projects.
"European Manufacturing Industry needs a new EUREKA Cluster on Manufacturing Technology, since there is no other instrument around that could meet the demand for industry-driven, nationally funded, internationally executed, innovation projects (with high technology readiness level)", said EUREKA High Level Group Chairman Francisco Marin.
Likewise, a number of European companies: Alshtom, C.R.Fiat, CEI, Comau, D´Appolonia, Festo, Iberomoldes, Maksima, Prima Industries, Sinapse, Renishaw, Schneider-Electric, Siemens and others have already confirmed their interest and support to the creation of SMART.
They understand that European Manufacturing Industries need to complement existing financing instruments with a new flexible R+D+I Program on Advanced Manufacturing positioned on the demand for industry-driven, nationally funded, internationally executed, high technology readiness level innovation projects.
A Technology Roadmap, covering aerospace, automotive, railway, capital goods, consumer durables sectors, has been presented.
Above industries invite all European manufacturing companies and all stakeholders on Innovation in Advanced Manufacturing to confirm their interest on this new R+D+I financing instrument.

Psychiatric Drugs, School Violence, and the Big Pharma Cover-up
Brandon Turbeville

Thursday, January 10, 2013
It is an unfortunate reality that with so much disinformation being spread by the media, the medical establishment, and the pharmaceutical industries, it is becoming more and more difficult to take at face value anything that comes out of their mouths. Indeed, it is becoming more and more dangerous to do so.
Even the slightest claims issued from the medical establishment, particularly from the psychiatric wing, must be independently researched, evaluated, and reevaluated in order to determine the accuracy, potential conflicts of interest, and hidden agendas at play. In fact, it has become paramount that any individual faced with an issue related to psychiatry, pharmaceuticals, or even basic medical conditions apply himself and exercise the due diligence required in order to understand the issue fully on his own, outside of the "orders" and dictates of his doctor or the propaganda machine known as the media.
One of the more foggy areas of modern science (at least that which is presented to members of the general public) is the study of genetics, pharmacogenetics, and genotyping. This area is one, like many others, that shows a great deal of promise for human health and potential; yet, also like many others, it is one that has been beset with political and philosophical ideologies as well as the iron-fisted control wielded by various monied corporate interests.

WIRRAL is now in a position to press for special funding to restore its historic buildings following completion of a heritage strategy.
The strategy is a key element in attracting English Heritage and National Lottery funding for renovation work.
Its absence was recognised as a stumbling block in the bid to secure lottery cash to help maintain the fabric of some of Wirral's important ancient buildings.
The peninsula's heritage champion Cllr Jerry Williams said: "The big issue with heritage is that we haven't been getting enough funding.
"This is why the council has been passionate about getting its heritage strategy together as a precursor for possible funding applications.
"So much work has been put in through the Heritage Association – an umbrella organisation for 70-odd groups in Wirral – and Wirral Council to make sure we fulfil the criteria needed to put in for funding.
"We now have that criteria in place and we hope we will be in the front line for a lot of funding, bearing in mind the extensive heritage we have."
He added: "Wirral has had a very poor deal from lottery funding. The district is not getting a fair amount of funding in relation to its large proportion of massively important buildings."
Conservation overlords English Heritage has expanded its "Building at Risk" register to include lesser-known buildings and complexes across Merseyside that need help.
The list includes Flaybrick Memorial Gardens in Bidston. Conservationists have their own list of candidates for restoration work including Fort Perch Rock at New Brighton, the clock tower at Bebington Civic Centre, Birkenhead town hall and the medieval hall in Little Storeton Village.
Harry Owen-John, EH North West planning and conservation director, said: "Grade II buildings are the bulk of our heritage treasury. When one of them is lost it's as if someone has rubbed out a bit of the past.
"We need help and are prepared to fund nine to 15 pilot surveys around the country with local authorities, national parks, heritage and community groups as partners.
"The results will help all parties involved – including the Heritage Lottery Fund and other grant-givers to get rescues under way where nothing has happened for years."
Councillor Williams said: "We are confident that we are now in a position to move forward in difficult circumstances – Wirral Council is about to lose a third of its funding.
"The council is looking at this as a matter of high priority .Things need to be done quickly if we are to secure funding from English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund."

WHILE MOST SCIENTISTS prefer to study wildlife in remote, pristine places far from the influences of people, Paige Warren opts for working right in the heart of human habitat. "You never know what kinds of interesting encounters you'll have," says the biologist, who has been questioned by police officers, cornered by chatty homeowners and watched by wary coyotes while investigating bird behavior in the residential neighborhoods and parks of Phoenix, Arizona. "The challenges are definitely unique."
Warren is part of a small army of researchers who are trying to learn everything they can about the effects of development, climate change, landscaping and other factors on the wild creatures that live in the Valley of the Sun, as the greater Phoenix metropolitan area is known. Headquartered at Arizona State University (ASU), the National Science Foundation-funded project they are participating in represents the country's first-ever long-term study of what the researchers call a "human-dominated ecosystem."
"When we began this work in 1997, we decided we need to use the same scientific procedures to answer questions about an urban area that we use to study a wilderness location," says ASU ecologist Nancy Grimm, codirector of the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research Project. Nearly a decade later, Grimm and the 100 or so biologists, geographers, social scientists and technicians taking part in the 13-year study are certain they are looking at a distinct, fully functioning ecosystem that has received far too little attention from natural scientists in the past.
With nearly three-fourths of the U.S. population now living in the nation's burgeoning metropolitan areas, observes Grimm, "it's imperative that we figure out how to maintain and improve the ecological health of the places where most Americans make their homes." The researchers believe there is nothing contradictory about the terms "nature" and "city." In fact, they've discovered that the overall abundance of birds and other organisms is much greater in Phoenix than in the surrounding desert.
One reason: Residents have created a sort of artificial oasis in the nation's fifth largest city. The municipal district and suburbs are dotted with canals, ponds, swimming pools (at last count, more than a half million) and dozens of parks and greenways. The community of Scottsdale alone now has nearly 170 small lakes, compared to zero in the mid-1900s. Yet in many respects, this desert oasis is not a Garden of Eden. All of the impounded water attracts a lot of mosquitoes, creatures normally not common in such an arid climate, and much of the area is landscaped with exotic vegetation that is displacing native flora.
"Homeowners can buy a variety of drought-tolerant plants at local nurseries," says Grimm, "but our studies have found that if those plants are not native to this region, they're not going to support our declining pollinators." Providing habitat for native pollinators, she notes, is vital to ensuring biodiversity.
Curiously, the scientists have discovered that more species of native birds prefer to live and breed in the city's wealthy neighborhoods than in middle- and lower-income areas. Warren and fellow biologists Ann Kinzig and Chris Martin came to that conclusion after measuring the abundance and diversity of birds in 16 parks in different parts of Phoenix. They found that the upper-income neighborhoods have, on average, nearly twice as many species as the low-income areas. "You'd think that just the opposite should be the case because the parks in the lower-income communities have more mature trees," says Warren, who has found similar results in neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland, site of a second National Science Foundation long-term urban study.
In fact, the birds seem to be attracted by the overall quality of habitat in a neighborhood around a park, not by the park itself. Higher-income communities in Phoenix, notes the biologist, tend to have more cacti and other desert plants--and more plant diversity in general--than the other residential areas, which make them so appealing to the animals.
As might be expected, the researchers have found that bird diversity is low in the noisier parts of the city. To successfully stake out territories and attract mates in such environments, some species, such as the blue-throated hummingbird, simply sing louder--a reflexive response, like people raising their voices in noisy restaurants.
"We still have so much to learn about the abilities and habitat needs of the wild animals living in our midst," says Warren, who these days spends more of her time analyzing data in her office at the University of Massachusetts than collecting information in the field. "We need to understand how to live sustainably with wildlife in our cities," she adds. "Otherwise, we won't have diverse wildlife and our communities will be much less vital places to live in."
Editorial Director Mark Wexler toured the Phoenix ecosystem with scientists earlier this year.
Coping With the Sounds of CitiesFinding mates in noisy places can be difficult, but some songbirds have evolved unique adaptations to cope with urban environments. In the first known case of a species changing the pitch of its songs, Dutch researchers found recently that great tits (relatives of North American chickadees) sing at high frequency levels near busy roads in the European cities where they range. In doing so, the tits can be heard by other birds above the low-frequency hum of the traffic. In quieter neighborhoods, the tits croon using notes lower on the scale. In another study, Emory University scientist Donna Maney discovered that female white-throated sparrows process sounds differently during breeding season. "Our work suggests that estrogen levels, which are normally high only when it's time to reproduce, may actually alter auditory pathways," says Maney. This helps the female sparrows block out the surrounding racket and focus in on the songs of male sparrows.

At CANRUS series when Huberdeau, Strome and Scheifele were on the same line for PP they put Scheifele at C.
I'll try to take a stab at this, but everyone be kind as I'm not HC or an expert (obviously those two are mutually inclusive
). Now let's travel through my thought process...
I prefer 3 scoring lines over top6/bottom6 style. Also, I like to circle my players around my C.
RNH is a guarantee for the 1st
(if he's coming, we'll just assume)
. So two spots remain with strongest candidates being Strome, Scheifele, Monahan and MacKinnon. Scheifele I'd say is better suited for a offensively dangerous but defensively sound 3rd C. Strome has played wing and plays well while MacKinnon seems to not play out of position as well with high QoC. So with that I'd put the 3 top9 pivots as RNH, MacKinnon and Scheifele.
So then for our 6 wingers strongest candidates would be: Huberdeau, Strome, Drouin, Monahan, Rattie, Ritchie, Hudon, Jenner, Puempel, Griffith and maybe one or two others. Keep Drouin with MacKinnon and I think Huberdeau is all but a lock for the first line. I could see either Rattie or Strome switching the top two lines so I won't make a decision. I like Jenner too and think he'd pull off a solid 4th line pivot:
So far:
Huberdeau - RNH - Strome/Rattie
Drouin - MacKinnon - Strome/Rattie
xx - Scheifele - xx
xx - Jenner - xx
xx: Monahan, Ritchie, Griffith, Hudon, Puempel, Danault and Lessio... I'm still having difficulty deciding on which 4 of these would get the pick and order but I don't think many would beat these for the spots...
Defence I find easier (for who makes it, not necessarily order of pairings):
Murray - Hamilton
Rielly - Harrington
Oullet - Murphy
Reinhart - Dumba

Earth 2 Class
Earth2Class (Earth to Class/E2C) is a unique science/math/technology resource for K-12 teachers, students, the general public, and geoscientists. It is a collaboration among researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University; curriculum and technology integration specialists from Teachers College, Columbia University, and Colégio Bandeirantes, São Paulo, Brasil; and classroom teachers from New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere.
E2C centers around "Saturday Workshops for Educators" held at Columbia's Lamont Campus in Palisades N.Y. One key feature to E2C is involvement of LDEO scientists. Their availability through workshops, web site postings, and e-mail allow teachers and students access to cutting-edge research which can be used to develop learning activities directly linked to "real-world problems," and provide scientists with an effective format to disseminate their discoveries more broadly.

Ci riprovano i Boy Kill Boy e sebbene il disco non sia male, stavolta le cose non funzionano a dovere e la festa finisce presto.
Magari meno immediato che il primo lavoro, l'album presenta comunque della carte molto buone che però non fanno mai vincere la mano: strappano sorrisi, qualche complimento, ma, nel duro mondo del pop ormai questo non basta più! (2008 Mercury)
Throughout Stars And The Sea, the second album from ever-ascending East London four-piece Boy Kill Boy, you'll be forgiven for scratching your head once or twice. It's safe to assume a sizeable chunk of listening time will be appointed to pondering where you might already know a number of tracks from. Did you hear Rosie's On Fire in a club somewhere? Is Loud & Clear a cover?
It's difficult to pinpoint a single track on Stars And The Sea that doesn't carry a certain familiarity. Not that this implies a lack of originality – rather, the proficiency to craft a killer ohrwurm. Meaty, potent hooks dominate this album, demonstrating that Boy Kill Boy have a collective ear for an almighty melody.
It's a somewhat shinier, less jagged affair than Civilian, though the album does gather a degree of pleasing spikiness as it progresses. Not that they're taking a Funeral For A Friend approach to proceedings and going as far as crafting albums for the Mother's Day 2009 market, but Stars And The Sea conveys a particular roundness not previously adopted.
As an album, it feels noticeably more thought-out than their preceding material, but crucially, not over-polished. Evidently, a wealth of newly-acquired experience has been liberally poured into the record, and it pays off significantly, making for a hugely agreeable – yet still gritty and inventive – sound.
If Civilian was the launchpad to turn the heads of an appropriate few, then Stars & The Sea is the tool to thrust them onto many an MP3 player. Of course, it's unfeasible that such a contrived strategy had any part here, given the earnestness and the command of the music itself. If nothing else, it's the mark of a band finally ready for the big time.(Al Fox - www.bbc.co.uk)
"Damned if you do, damned if I don't" sings Chris Peck on the closing 'Two Souls', and that eight-word couplet just about sums up Boy Kill Boy.
Their brief dalliance with fame came off the back of the mid-noughties resurgence of Britpop, but only the real movers and shakers have since remained in the spotlight, leading the coattail clingers and bandwagon jumpers either back to the drawing board or on a one-way trip to oblivion. Or, in some cases, both.
For Boy Kill Boy, Stars And The Sea really is their make or break record. Debut album Civilian may have sold well initially, but critical indifference and a lack of quality material at the time seemed to relegate the band to also-ran status before they'd even had chance to check the spikes on their running shoes, let alone leave the starting blocks. Their legacy is not so much forgotten, then, but was never really signed or sealed in the first place.
So, with their record contract undoubtedly hanging in the balance, Mercury packed them off to LA in the capable hands of celebrated producer Dave Sardy and, to be fair, he hasn't done a bad job with Stars And The Sea.
Although lacking a killer single like 'Suzie' or 'Civil Sin' - the album's leading singles 'No Conversation' and 'Promises' are arguably among the weakest tracks here, so nil points for whoever chose to unleash these on an already disparaging public - Stars And The Sea actually works better as an album than its predecessor. Where Civilian was obviously thrown together to cash in on the band's minimal success, this has a structure and flow that at least works in the context of what it's supposed to. Granted, there are a few moments where the skip button comes in handy, but these are few and far between in comparison to their debut.
The biggest criticism with Stars And The Sea is that at least a third of the songs on it are almost instantly forgettable within 30 seconds of fading out, and at times you'd be hard-pushed trying to convince anyone why they should purchase a record such as this over any number of artists genuinely trying to push themselves over and beyond their personal creative boundaries.
Its saving grace however, is the fact that Boy Kill Boy do know how to knock out the odd incessant tune from time to time, and in 'Ready To Go', 'Be Somebody' and 'Pen And Ink' they've spent their time away from the limelight constructively, so much so that these three perky gems rank up there as possibly their best works to date.
Whether that will save them from the almost inevitable contractual cull is debatable, but at least that legacy may contain more than just one top twenty placing, several question marks and half a side of A4's worth of blank space. (Dom Gourlay - http://drownedinsound.com/)

BAGHDAD, (AP) — Iraqi officials say seven people have been killed in two blasts in central Iraq.
Police officials said two bombs were planted early Saturday in a spot where day laborers gather in the mostly Sunni village of al-Zaidan, near the town of Abu Ghraib west of Baghdad.
The officials say the bombs, which exploded minutes apart, wounded 11 other laborers.
A health official at Abu Ghraib general hospital confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to release the information.
Violence has ebbed across Iraq, but deadly bombings and shootings still occur almost daily as U.S. troops prepare to leave by the end of the year.

We're all looking at digital technologies and how powerful they are in shaping an organization's future. If you read the press, you'd likely think that digital is all about the CMO-driven digital agenda for growth and changing the relationship with users (customers, employees and partners). But the press can be deceiving.
At Everest Group, we recently conducted research around digital tech implementations. One of the most interesting parts of this research is that we found that there are two ways to think about digital: digital for growth and digital for efficiency – how we operate, cut costs and make a business easier to run. Clearly there is a lot of work around both kinds of digital projects these days, and hopefully both extract a significant return on investments.

SWINDON St George vice-captain Gwyn Jenkins believes the time is right for his side to pick up their first win of the season.
St George travel to Somerset Vikings, the team they played in the first game of the season, with hope of breaking their duck.
Vikings have only won twice this season and the Swindon side are vastly improved from the team that lost that opening game 34-20, providing belief it could be St George's weekend.
Jenkins believes the team has come together, worked on the technical aspects of their game that had been holding them back and are set to claim an elusive first win.
"The whole team in itself have come on leaps and bounds, our captain, George Cowley, has made us a better team, basically the whole team and structure has improved vastly, going into the last game of the season we're really up for it," said Jenkins.
"It's our weekend to get the first win, the vibe from the whole team is fantastic, even in training it's 100% effort, all of us are buzzing.
"We've made silly mistakes, which is understandable in a development season, we're very close to securing a win, most of the teams in our league have noticed our vast improvement in how we're making our stance.
"Team morale is key, if we stick together and play a hard game, concentrate in the first 20 minutes and stay consistent and do the basics, we'll get our first win.
"Now we've gelled and know each and our game phases, that's going to be in our favour. It's our fitness and defensive line that are our weaknesses and we've come on leaps and bounds this season in regard of those.
"We've been working on that defensive line and our communication with head coach Phil Whammy, he has been drilling us on that."
For the trip this weekend St George will be Carl Baker who is away but Jenkins is backing his side to rally round without key man.
"We've had key players missing but we work as a team, we have a strong squad this weekend, a few injuries, but we're team a and we'll adapt to it, we have powerful forward line which is going to be a shock to Somerset.
"It is a miss without Carl because he's a big Aussie, but he'll be keeping in contact."

In a warning letter to Unilever, Inc. of Englewood, NJ, the agency states that the company's website, liptont.com connects the beverage's ingredients to lowering cholesterol and says that such a claim places the beverage in the drug category, which requires FDA regulation. In a separate letter to Dr Pepper Snapple Group of Plano, Texas, Canada Dry's manufacturer, the FDA states "Your Sparkling Green Tea Ginger Ale bears the claim, 'enhanced with 200 mg of antioxidants.' Your Sparkling Green Tea Ginger Ale is a carbonated beverage," and goes on to say "the FDA does not consider it appropriate to fortify snack foods such as carbonated beverages." The agency issued the warning letters late last month and has asked both manufacturers to take prompt action to correct the misbranding violations.When it comes to the food and beverages, it's best not to read too much into a manufacturer's health claims. Cases like this one highlight the increasing importance of checking the fine print on food and beverages you bring home to your family. And if you're looking to get squeeze vitamins and antioxidants from popular beverages, don't bother. Stick to tried-and-true sources—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and spices.

Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
This will involve filing an application for re-zoning with the city's planning and zoning commission. Contact a representative in that office and he/she will provide you with the appropriate forms to fill out.
Once your application is complete, the P&Z commission will perform an informal investigation regarding whether the change is positive or negative, or otherwise appropriate. These findings will be presented to the city council or board, and they will vote on whether or not the change should be allowed.
If the P&Z are on your side, it will be a slam dunk! If it opposes the re-zoning, you're going to have a tough time convincing the board/council to overrule the P&Z officials.
Anything you can provide that will help convince the P&Z commission to change the zoning is helpful.
I would ask the P&Z what would help your chances before spending any money - it may help if you can address the supply issue and whether or not a trailer would be better than using your vehicle. However, if you're selling on a public street corner, you may can just get a permit and not have to worry about zoning.
Your best bet is to "buddy-up" with the P&Z folks and ask them what would be the best way (under the city ordinances and laws) to get your business all of the permits it needs to operate legally.
Good Luck! Now, I'm going to get a hot dog!

Having navigated the fluoride debate, Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has waded into another controversial issue by coming out strongly in favour of childhood immunisations.
Cr Quirk will Tuesday reaffirm his commitment to a long-established council program which gives children aged between six weeks and eight years free vaccinations against diseases such as measles, whooping cough, polio and tetanus.
Cr Quirk, who has the backing of the Australian Medical Association Queensland, said he supported vaccinations personally and as an elected official.
"As both Lord Mayor and a parent I strongly believe in the benefits of vaccinations for a healthy child and community, however it's ultimately a parent's choice to immunise their child," he said.
"This free program is about ensuring every parent has that choice as part of my plan to build a more accessible and inclusive Brisbane."
Late last year the Australian Academy of Science released a report which showed the number of parents who had chosen not to immunise their children had increased six-fold in the past decade.
However, the same report, backed by the AMAQ, showed vaccinations had been vital in reducing the number of deaths from infectious diseases.
The council's commitment to the program comes as an anti-vaccination book, Melanie's Marvellous Measles, raises national controversy and strong criticism from the Australian Medical Association.
Its author, Queensland-based anti-immunisation activist Stephanie Messenger, said she opposed the council immunisation program.
Ms Messenger said a growing number of parents were rightly beginning to question whether they should immunise their child, with "many doctors telling me – behind closed doors – that they support my position too".
"But we're used to people who disagree with [the anti-immunisation platform]," she said.
"We just understand a lot of people are making decisions based on fear and ignorance."
However, the AMAQ has thrown its support behind the council's immunisation program, saying more like it were needed to improve Queensland's immunisation rate.
Describing vaccination as one of the great success stories of modern medicine, AMAQ President Dr Alex Markwell said there were far fewer risks associated with vaccinations than the infectious diseases they prevented.
"There are virtually no cases of mumps or diphtheria in children anymore. Chicken pox, haemophylis influenza B and meningococcal meningitis are rarely seen," he said.
"But we can't be complacent because as immunisation rates drop, the incidence of previously rare diseases such as congenital rubella and tetanus are starting to climb."
Dr Markwell said lifting the state's current rate of child immunisation from 90 per cent to 95 per cent about 90 per cent would mean unimmunised children who were still susceptible to certain diseases would be less likely to come into contact with a carrier of an infectious agent.
The Brisbane City Council immunisation timetable is available here, at the city website and various council facilities.
The city vaccination program has been running since 1931, and administered 13,000 children with 30,000 vaccinations last year.
Through the scheme 300 immunisation sessions will be held across 14 locations between January and June this year, after which point a new six-month schedule will be released.
The program costs the council about $700,000 a year to run and receives support from the AMAQ.

COUNCILLORS have today voted to cut £250,000 from Wiltshire youth service's budget rather than the expected £500,000.
The Liberal Democrat group put forward an amendment to Wiltshire Council's budget, voted on today at County Hall, that called for £100,000 savings on printed paperwork, an efficiency review of youth centre buildings that could shave off a further £125,000 and a cash injection of £25,000 from the councillors' development fund.
The unitary authority's original budget called for a £500,000 cut, which meant up to 140 staff redundancies and the closure of the county's youth centres.

Beacon of Hope (sculpture)
|Beacon of Hope
|Andy Scott
|19.5 m (64 ft)
The Beacon of Hope Thanksgiving Statue is a £300,000[1] public art metal sculpture by Andy Scott 19.5 metres high[2] constructed in 2007[1] in Thanksgiving Square[3] in Belfast. As with other public works of art in Ireland the sculpture has been given several nicknames. These include the Beacon of Hope, Lula with the Hula (credited to Gerard Doyle), the Belle on the Ball and the Thing with the Ring.[1]
It is currently the second largest public art sculpture in Belfast, after Rise on Broadway Roundabout.
The sculpture is the result of six years of planning, development and eventual fabrication. Made of stainless steel and cast bronze, she spirals upwards and holds aloft "the ring of thanksgiving".[2] The globe at her feet indicates the universal philosophy of peace, harmony and thanksgiving, and has marked on its surface the cities where the people and industries of Belfast migrated and exported to.
The sculpture was fabricated by P.F. Copeland of Newtownabbey,[4] who worked from original scale maquettes by Scott, with the bronze globe cast by Beltane Studios in Peebles.[2]
As an icon for Belfast it has been adopted by Belfast City Council, tourism authorities, TV companies and several businesses as an emblem and logo; and in early October 2006 was recognised as the best artwork in the city by the Belfast Chamber of Trade and Commerce.[2]
The artwork is based on a concept proposed by Myrtle Smyth,[1] who was inspired by Thanks-Giving Square in Dallas in Texas.
Lord Diljit Rana, Baron Rana, chairman of the Thanksgiving Square charity, said the aim of the project was to create some public space for giving thanks.[1]

A wall stands not only to separate rooms, but also to show the interesting design on itself. The design could be from wallpaper, painting, relief, and last but not least: ceramic. Yes, nowadays there are ceramics with the fine designs. Generally, ceramics are applied for bathroom or kitchen. But the fired clay reaches our other rooms. So you can adjust it with the theme of your house and furniture.
Is it a good idea to spread the ceramics vertically in your rooms? I would answer: it depends. I'm going to give you some ideas. As a decoration for your wall, outside of design aspect, here why you should use ceramic:
- Durable
Ceramic is made by homogeny clay through the burning in more than 1,200° Celcius. This process makes ceramic a strong material. It's different from wallpapers that can be easily torn, neither is from paintings that can be easily peeled off.
- Cleanable
Sure, ceramic is easy to be cleaned. As ceramic floor, wall ceramic can be cleaned using water and cleaner fluid, so the spots on it can be removed with no trouble.
- No need of cement
Because the wall will be covered by ceramic, the wall doesn't have to be refined with cement. This can save your cement stocks.
But, let's face it, here also why you shouldn't use ceramic on your wall:
- Expensive
The budget you have to spend for buying wall ceramics can be double, or even triple, from wallpaper or painting budget.
- Special skill required
Installing ceramic to the wall isn't easy. Because the work area is vertical, so it needs carefulness and skill in doing it. This also can make you waste your money because it takes a long time for the professional to accomplish.
- It causes heat
According to my friends' experience, the ceramics on your wall does only make the room temperature increases. The advice is simple: avoid room like this when you live in tropical country like us.
I leave you here with that 3 on 3 consideration. The ceramic is so stylist. It'll make your interior look elegant, indeed. But think about the advantages and disadvantages before pasting your walls with it, pals.
