Kate Middleton and the best celebrity slips of the tongue
Our future queen might have inadvertently let slip that she's having a baby girl - but she's not the only celeb to say the wrong thing at the wrong time
Kate Middleton sent Fleet Street into a spin last night when it emerged that she had apparently accidentally revealed the sex of her much-discussed royal baby.
After being given a teddy bear by a member of the public in Grimsby yesterday afternoon, Kate was reportedly overheard saying "thank you, I will take that for my d…" before stopping herself mid-flow.
Naturally, her alleged slip has set tongues wagging all over the country and provided the basis for some 443 separate news articles online, many of them speculating hysterically about what she'll call her 'daughter'.
But Kate needn't feel too bad about the incident. After all, she didn't swear, make a fool of herself or mispronounce the monosyllabic surname of a former Culture Secretary.
And she's far from the first person in public life to have said the wrong thing at the wrong time. To err is human, and all of us, from princesses to paupers, are susceptible to the odd gaffe. Don't believe me? Then have a look at these:
Gordon Brown saves the world
In 2008, the then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown made himself a laughing stock in the House of Commons during a heated exchange with David Cameron about the economy. Responding to a query from the Tory leader about his recapitalisation of ailing banks, Brown said: "We not only saved the world…" before being drowned out by MPs roaring and waving their order papers. Of course, he meant to say "saved the banks", but no-one could hear his correction over all the shouting.
Carol Kirkwood gets flirty with Bill Turnbull
BBC Breakfast's team come across as a friendly bunch but Carol Kirkwood made them seem positively over-familiar in 2011, when she inadvertently called host Bill Turnbull 'babe' while doing a weather report. According to her explanation, the slip occurred because she's so used to calling "Billy" by that term when they're not on TV. Who knew?
George W Bush reassures Americans
It's astonishing that people didn't start fleeing the USA en masse after hearing Dubya give an address in 2004 in which he said: "[Our enemies] never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people – and nor do we."
Eamonn Holmes says something stupid
Many people are fairly ignorant of geography and it's nothing to be ashamed of. But Eamonn Holmes was so appalled by this This Morning guest's lack of geographical knowledge that his brain bypassed its PC circuits and made him ask: "What are you? Retarded?" He didn't mean it, though – and spent about a minute of airtime apologising for the slip.
A vintage slip-up here, and an unfortunate one for the former US President who appeared live on national TV to talk about Ronald Regan. "For seven and a half years, I've worked alongside President Reagan," he said. "We've had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We've had some sex… uh…setbacks." Cue the giggles.

Max DeMara is musing on all things Detroit Tigers.
It's a simple pleasure to sit back and watch a minor league baseball game. The stands are less packed, the giveaways are a bit more fun while the game remains as exciting as it's ever been.
It's true what they say. The Erie SeaWolves have plenty of talent capable of making an impact with the Detroit Tigers soon. That much was obvious in the midst of the SeaWolves' 2-0 win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels which featured a combined one-hitter by the team's pitching staff.
Christmas (in July) came early for those in the stands in Erie, and also for musings, which received plenty of content as a result.
The Moya Mash. One of Detroit's top positional prospects, Steven Moya, made a big impact on the game right away, nearly running down an improbable catch in right center (which ended up being the only Richmond hit of the contest) and singling and scoring in the first inning. Then, after a pair of strikeouts, Moya went yard down the right field line to extend the lead. All told, Moya contributed both runs and all of the offense. When he manages to clean up plate discipline, Moya's numbers will only increase and his whole value will prove itself even more.
Dixon And Devon To The Rescue. They have a long way to go before being confused with Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker, but both Dixon Machado and Devon Travis played outstanding defense, turning a nifty double play and looking very comfortable in the field. With Eugenio Suarez included, the SeaWolves have been featuring some great defensive play from infielders recently. Both Machado and Travis also played a role at the plate, finding a way on base and pressuring the opposing pitching staff.
Up A Crick With A Paddle. Fans of the San Francisco Giants are going to love Richmond's Friday night starter Kyle Crick in a few years. Though he was the hard-luck loser, Crick impressed all night, fanning 11 SeaWolves, and only getting beaten by Moya's weak single down the right field line and a hard hit ball by Machado. It's easy to see why Crick has been a fast riser in the eyes of Baseball America, as his stuff was at times overpowering all around the plate.
An Effective Bullpen Cures What Ails Ya. Watching the SeaWolves, it was hard not to think of the Tigers. Starter Warwick Sapould gave Erie six strong innings scattering one hit and five walks, but with a tenuous lead, the bullpen had to finish things off. Ryan Robowski pitched two scoreless innings, and Jose Valdez collected his 15th save of the season despite bringing the tying run to the plate and allowing a screamer to the gap that was run down. Even in the minors, when the bullpen gets things done, it helps everyone else to look better.
Oh Yeah, About Those Tigers…Give Dave Dombrowski credit for addressing a major team need in this week's trade for Joakim Soria. With Soria in the fold, the Tigers have another option late, regardless of the cost. Otherwise, the latest road trip has gone well, with Max Scherzer impressing Thursday, Miguel Cabrera getting comfortable at the plate and Drew Smyly dominating despite a Friday night loss. Detroit hasn't lost any ground in the Central Division, and still looks poised to pull away in the second half. This week's trade deadline may be quieter as far as excitement goes, but expect Dombrowski to stay aggressive and perhaps add a left-handed reliever by week's end.
Programming Notes: Next Saturday, the annual "Fiesta Tigres!" event will take over Comerica Park. Former Tigers' catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez is expected back, and the first 15,000 fans 21 and older will receive a Rodriguez figurine courtesy of Miller Lite. If not coming for that particular promotion, do make sure to get a glimpse of All-Stars like Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez up close, should they remain with the Colorado Rockies past the deadline. Don't forget, Cuban sensation Jose Abreu makes another visit to Comerica Park early next week as well, with the Chicago White Sox coming to town.

No. 5: Capital One
Current Return: +15%
Investor: Philip van Doorn
In his initial article, "Capital One: Top Bank Stock Pick for 2012," TheStreet.com contributor Philip van Doorn makes the case that financials in general aren't as bad as you think — and certain smaller banks like Capital One (NYSE:COF) are, in fact, ready to soar.
His reasons included "continued strength in earnings and a historically low valuation to forward earnings estimates and book value." And those reasons continue to hold firm, delivering Philip's pick impressive year-to-date returns of 17%.
It's worth noting, too, that the broader financial sector has just been on a tear. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is up more than 43% so far in 2012, and Citigroup (NYSE:C) is up more than 25%.
There are real risks of financial stocks overheating, since earnings remain choppy amid persistent eurozone troubles and continued foreclosure problems. But the gains so far leave a very nice cushion in Capital One and other financial stocks.

Pruitt: Rubio tougher to love than gov
After talking about his respect for Gov. Charlie Crist during his opening remarks at the beginning of the session, Senate President Ken Pruitt turned to House Speaker Marco Rubio.
"Speaker Rubio, I love him too. He's a little tougher love, but I genuinely love this man," Pruitt said.

Certainly there were shades of UFC 25. Even as the bantamweight title fight proved just as good as expected on Saturday night at UFC 132, the career of Tito Ortiz flickered but refused to die, while the fighting future of Wanderlei Silva dimmed considerably.
Coming in as a 4-1 underdog, Ortiz crafted the evening's most surprising victory when he stuck Ryan Bader with a short right hand and then locked up an arm-in guillotine choke that elicited a tap out just one minute, 56 seconds into their light heavyweight fight. It netted Ortiz a hefty "Submission of the Night" bonus, but more importantly staved off the forced retirement (or at least the firing) that everyone knew was coming had he lost.
Ortiz celebrated in the cage as if he'd won the world's undisputed championship, and it was hard to blame him. After nearly five years without a victory, it admittedly felt good to see the once dominant champion get back in the win column.
Things did not go quite as well for the evening's other once-dominant champ. Silva's fight with Chris Leben had been perhaps overplayed in the media as a potential candidate for fight of the year after both combatants promised to barrel out of their corners and swing for the fences for 15 minutes. The fighters obliged, but the bout didn't go even nearly long enough to warrant consideration for any sort of end-of-the-year accolades.
Leben and Silva did the only thing they know how to do on Saturday night. They met in the center of the Octagon and started – as Quinton Jackson might say – throwing them bungalows. Silva struck first, cracking Leben on the nose with a right hook. Leben though, as he always does, fired back immediately with a cinderblock left hand that stunned the elder statesman. From there, he locked up a clinch and fired a string of left uppercuts that dropped Silva to the canvas and followed up with strikes on the ground until the referee moved in to call things off.
The whole thing took 27 seconds. In the wake of it, UFC President Dana White said the loss was probably "the end of the road" for Silva, who has suffered knockouts in four of his last six defeats. The "Axe Murderer" himself sent out a series of fairly heartbreaking posts to his Twitter account during the next few hours and the following day was his 35th birthday.
Throughout it all, and despite the fact Ortiz and Silva now fight in different weight classes, it was hard not to think of the night in April, 2000, when the two met to decide the UFC light heavyweight title in Tokyo, Japan. Ortiz took one of his typically dominant unanimous decision wins from Silva and at the time it was easy to overlook the significance of it all. In hindsight however, that bout was nothing short of a historic meeting between the two me who would go on to personify the next half decade of the sport's history.
Ortiz won the UFC belt that night and went on to defend it fight times, arguably keeping the sport of mixed martial arts afloat during a difficult time in its life and crafting a record of dominance that makes him a shoe-in for the company's hall of fame despite what seems like a continually rocky relationship with the promotion. Sometime after that, he clattered off the rails, becoming one of MMA's more calamitous figures, losing four straight between 2006-10 and suffering through very public make-ups and break-ups in nearly everyone his life, both personal and professional.
Saturday night though, Ortiz beat Bader and proved he's not quite done yet. From here, it probably makes sense to match him up with the winner of Rich Franklin's upcoming bout at UFC 133 with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
On the night he lost to Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva was 23 years old. He didn't lose again for four years, winning 16 straight fights (with a couple of no contests sprinkled in), claimed the Pride middleweight championship and one of the promotion's touted grand prix tournaments. He became one of the most feared fighters in the sport and for a time was recognized as the best 205-pound fighters on the planet.
Now however, the UFC is probably right to pull the plug. Silva has nothing left to prove in a career that has already spanned 15 years and nearly 50 fights.
Even as Ortiz resurfaces – however briefly – it's sad to watch Silva trundle through this difficult period of his career. Hopefully the UFC will be there to do some hand-holding, as it's done for other all-time greats as they made their exits.

AN 80-STRONG group reached new heights when they scaled Ben Lomond to help a local charity for sick kids.
The Dreams Come True organisation, which works to fulfil wishes for youngsters who are seriously ill, will benefit after the intrepid adventurers climbed Ben Lomond on Saturday.
The youngest walker was aged just six and the oldest 68 - with many of those taking part having never climbed a hill before.
Lauren O'Donnell, who organised the event, said: "Everyone completed the walk and the weather was fantastic - the forecast was for showers but we got it sunny all day with blue skies.
"It was a bit overcast in the morning but by the time we got to the hill it was great weather and we all started off a bit too hot!" The walkers were split into groups according to their level of fitness, with Lauren leading the children's group.
She said: "I walked with the kids' group because I wanted to make sure everyone was off the hill safely so I was the last one off. Some of them were just six or seven and there were a couple who were 12 but there was not a single moan on the way to the top, which is unusual.
"Some of the hill guides do these walks on a regular basis with the scouts or other groups and they commented on what a good atmosphere it was.
"Everyone was in a good mood and it made my job easy having everyone up for it." Colleen Keogh, 20, completed the walk with her pal Jill Mortimer, a pupil at Clydeview Academy.
Colleen was particularly keen to tackle Ben Lomond as she is planning a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in September.
She said: "I thought it was good training for Kilimanjaro.
"Jill and I power walked and I know now when you are doing a mountain walk you really need to pace yourself.
"It was a great atmosphere and it was good to socialise with everyone." It is not yet known how much money the Ben Lomond event will make for Dreams Come True as it will take a few weeks for all the sponsorship money to be collected.
It is hoped by the end of the year that around �50,000 will have been raised for the charity from a variety of fundraising events.
A trek is planned for Ben Nevis in August and a group will be tackling the Great Wall of China in October.
Lauren, a senior fitness instructor at Greenock's waterfront gym, is organising the Ben Nevis walk and hopes to get 100 Inverclyde folk involved.
Lauren would like to thank C&M Coaches for their support on the day, plus all the hill guides who volunteered to lead the groups.
Anyone who would like to sign up for the Ben Nevis walk can contact Lauren by emailing email@example.com

Sure! Any chance to babble about my toys.
I'll talk about the latest generation Z - the cxx0 series (1000, 3000, 3100, 3200) The Zaurus is a clamshell PDA with a nice qwerty keyboard, and a 3.7inch VGA touchscreen. (The Z was designed as a showpiece for Sharp's screen technology - it is one of the brightest and nicest LCD screens you've ever seen.) They have a 4gb HD, and run linux from the factory - they are essentially mini laptops. Best of all, you can see between 5-8hrs battery life on them pretty easily. Not bad for a PDA.
Weight is about 300g. It's a bit thick at 25mm. The earlier models were thinner, and could be MUCH thinner with the small battery.
(Gibbled translations of specs for the 3200
The screen rotates and folds flat like a convertable tablet, so you can use it as a widescreen clamshell or a handheld pda/reader. There is a rocker switch on the back (left side in tablet mode) that, when held in the left hand with the screen folded flat, falls naturally under the left thumb. That makes it a very good format for reading, scrolling through the document using the rocker. In clamshell mode, there is a circular pad on the right, surrounding the "OK" button, that acts as arrow keys that you can use for scrolling. I prefer to read in tablet format, though. All of the software I use also allows you to "drag" the document by pressing and dragging anywhere on the touchscreen. If I'm holding the reader in my right hand I usually use my thumb to scroll through that way.
Software wise, there are a lot of choices. For text and HTML, I use the web browser (Opera). It is a very good web browser, even for content that isn't meant for a small screen. It also has built in zooming (by several hundred percent both ways) and a fantastic "small screen" mode - It strips ALL formatting from the HTML page and shows it as text. Combined with the zoom function, I find it to make a very comfortable reader and regularily read full novels this way.
There is a pretty good PDF reader, with full scrolling, zooming, font rendering, and text only modes. Great in a pinch - PDF isn't necessarily the best format for this size of screen.
There is also an excellent dedicated reader program called Opiereader. It supports a whole dog's breakfast of formats: (from the homepage at
* "Doc" format - also known as the original Aportis or AportisDoc format.
* Weasel or ztxt format.
* Plucker format.
* gzipped text.
* ppms text.
* iSilo 3 (unencrypted)
* Mobipocket (unencrypted)
* Rocket EBook (unencrypted)
* Plain text with special handling of PML or HTML marked-up text.
It has full support for fonts, font sizing, font/background colours, fully customizable keys, full screen mode, and screen scrolling support. You can even customize handling for codepages and formatting on the fly. It is widely regarded as "Must Have" software for the Z. (It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that markup formats have fully supported links, etc as well)
Many people also read comics on the Z - there are a couple of graphic viewing programs well suited to the task, including one called Comicreader, which was specifically made for it. (Although I haven't used it personally.)
As befits it's customizable nature, there are other ROMS available for the Z as well. The version from the factory is pretty ugly, and runs Qtopia. There is a replacement rom running Qtopia called "Cacko" that's much prettier. There is a rom that is a fully open source replacement for Qtopia called Opie (or openzaurus - I don't follow it much). There is PDAXrom which replaces the Qtopia environment with a full X-windows based system - you can run Firefox and Open office on it, as well as pretty much any X windows program you can cross compile all the requirements for. There's even an OpenBSD port for it. I know one fellow who runs OpenBSD on his Z, and synchronizes his palm pilot to the software running on the Zaurus. I've personally done everything from watch movies to author and burn a CD directly from my Z - they're pretty fantastic and versatile little things
So...Any questions?

Consumer Stockpiling and Price Competition in Differentiated Markets
"In many storable-goods markets, firms are often aware that consumers may strategically adjust purchase timing in response to expected price dynamics. For example, in periods when prices are low, consumers stockpile for future consumption. This paper investigates the dynamic impact of consumer stockpiling on competing firms' strategic pricing decisions in differentiated markets. The necessity of equilibrium consumer storage for storable products is re-examined. It is shown that preference heterogeneity generates differential consumer stockpiling propensity, thereby intensifying future price competition. As a result, consumer storage may not necessarily arise as an equilibrium outcome. Economic forces are also investigated that may mitigate the competition-intensifying effect of consumer inventories and that, hence, may lead to equilibrium consumer storage."

When will the gov't start acting against crime?
Whilst the chairperson of MyWatch is put on a ventilator and fights for his life, we seem to be a nation that still indulges in finger pointing instead of acting to right the wrongs that have been taking place right under the nose of our authorities.
It may not come as a surprise that all sorts of religious name calling, acts of sabotage via the Net and blatant acts of mischief out of spite and put certain quarters in trouble just so that a national action plan can be put to use and haul up all those whom the federal administration thinks is a hindrance to its continued and firm grip on the mental state of the misinformed masses.
When are we going to act? There seems to be this dust that has not settled after the last general election just because a good majority of the urban folk have sent a very strong message to the federal administration that they are not going to simply be taken for granted any more.
Corruption has come to the point that we are witnessing the underworld showing us in the law-abiding world that they would do anything to have their ways and their turfs guarded because they would not want their usual way of doing business to be disturbed in any way whatsoever. The police seem helpless and like what we see in the movies, only come after the assassination, murders, killings, rapes and kidnappings have been done.
Why do the police seem helpless when they can spring into action when a politician makes a statement and apprehend him even if he were to be peeing in some toilet somewhere?
Again it is all due to the usual course of business where money, power play and politics do the talking, not the law. The law is there just as a superficial facade for all to see and perceive that everything is going as per the letter of the law.
Guns will not be easily obtainable if all our enforcement agencies do their duty with honour and integrity. Even if our supply of firearms and ammunition comes from the international market, how are they allowed in that easily if not for some law enforcing authority at some point being on the take?
The situation has been allowed to deteriorate because a government job is now a ticket to make money and to do business on the side or in local terms to 'cari makan' till they retire. Now since the retirement age has been increased to 60, the process is further enhanced by starting as early as possible.
Now will the authorities act? How will they act when there is no leadership by example. If the top leaders take action and show that they mean what they say, then we can see real 'transformasi' or transformation as the leadership now proclaims it is doing. But to date the criminals seem to be having a field day because of complete inaction by the police.
We recently had a former chief minister who had said that even the police need protection against these underworld barons and kingpins, if that is the case, what is the use of the police force beefing up its personnel and arsenal? Is it to further enhance an opportunity for someone to make some money in the form of increase in supplies and other necessities since the force is to be bigger?
It will be better to get the army to solve this problem if the police can't. They seem to be too involved in the system that they are just unable to act as it would mean that they would have to step on too many toes to get to the bottom of the matter.
Whilst all this happens, the people suffer. The best part of the entire situation is that, we Malaysians are a real dumb lot and the leadership at the federal level know that very well and intend to keep it that way perpetually.
Despite all this shortcomings and the complaints, we still continue to succumb at the last minute to money and other promises and keep the same government at the federal level perpetually. We seem prepared to change state governments but not federal governments knowing very well that our system is one which gives the most important powers to the federal government.
To enable the people to enjoy some guarantee on the level of safety in the country, the leadership clearly needs to appoint the right people to the positions that most matter. We have the expertise and we have the brains to carry out the transformations but such people may not belong to the right race or religion that the leadership would like them to be.
Again, we are hindered by a process of self discrimination where as a country, we still tend to segregate according to race and religion in the process we lose good individuals and talents who can make the difference and partake in the transformation that we so badly need but are never able to accomplish.
As I am writing this, I am made to understand that a 39-year-old Chinese Malaysian has won the title Mrs Universe. It is a great honour for the country but will we accept the fact that she is a Malaysian first and a Chinese second.
She has done the country proud and like her there are many individuals in the police force who are very able and capable leaders, who honour the uniform that they wear and the badge of honour that they carry on their shoulders.
These are the people who need to be put in charge of the police force to start the process of transformation where the criminals should start fearing the police and not vice versa.
The boldness is so great that it is almost in a state of lawlessness in some parts of the country. More so in the states in which Pakatan Rakyat is in power. Is this done deliberately so that the people will shun Pakatan and run back to the devil that they know BN just so that they will be left in peace?
Are we going to act? Or are we just going to allow these criminals a free reign to do as they please? The root cause of this state of affairs is nothing but corruption. If corruption can make the police look so helpless and like lame ducks, imagine what else it can do with the running of the state and the nation as a whole?
Let's hope that we get the right people back and promote the right ones so that we can salvage the integrity of the police force instead of allowing it to be reduced to an armed unit to salvage the sinking reputations of hordes of corrupt politicians who don't seem to care.
As I am writing this, senior advocate Americk Sidhu is being questioned by the police for the talk that he had given in a recent fundraising dinner organized by Human rights group Suaram. If they can swing into action on those who can think and opine, why can't they do the same on criminals who prey on innocent people?
Basically it is just plain lackadaisical attitude on part of the police. They go after the people who make the masses think but let the scumbags who rob, steal, rape, murder and cheat to continue all because of the money trail that goes along with such attitudes by the police.
We must act, we have to look out for ourselves and for others near us so that in the event that there is an attempt, we may at least know how to protect ourselves and our belongings to the best that we can without the lost of lives.
Though some may argue that it may be akin to taking the law into our own hands but as a people do we have any other choice? There may be concerted efforts to get the Pakatan governments to look bad but those with such ill intents will have to know that it is the lives of innocent people that we are dealing with.
Get a short rattan cane or stick when we go out for a walk or a jog, it may not look cool but it will protect your life when you least think of it.

Standing matters: Give Americans the right to sue for the deportation of illegal aliens who cause them, or their property, ha...
A new Center for Immigration Studies ( cis.org) report proposes an idea worth serious consideration: Change immigration law so that Americans can sue for deportation of illegal and criminal aliens who harm them.
The report notes how the Obama administration has "stymied" immigration enforcement, created programs benefiting illegals "out of thin air" and "abandoned or flagrantly ignored" its duty "to fully and fairly administer" immigration law — which prohibits individual Americans from suing to force an alien's deportation.
Even a 2012 lawsuit filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to compel enforcement of immigration law as written was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds by a judge who nevertheless said their case had merit.
CIS proposes amending existing law to provide U.S. citizens the legal "standing" they need to sue for deportation of aliens who've harmed them or their property. To avoid overlap with the existing tort system, CIS says, such lawsuits "should not be geared toward monetary fines or penalties" or "toward government officials ... but, rather, toward the alien." And to keep the administration's Justice Department from blocking such lawsuits in its immigration courts, they should be handled by federal district courts.
This proposal would help counter the effects of the Obama administration's disregard for immigration law and its enforcement — while providing legal recourse that Americans should have. Congress should give it a long, hard look.

If they were to add GP2 support it would likely be offered for sale as a downloadable content offering. It is doubtful that it would ever get its own game or be added to the regular F1 offering. Still, the F1 feeder series might be something that could be an option in the future if there is enough interest among players and Codemasters is able to sort out the licensing.
Codemasters is still on track to deliver the 2011 version of F1 this September. In addition, both 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions of F1 2011 are coming. The 3DS and Vita versions will be developed by Sumo Digital who handled the PSP and Wii version of F1 2009 for Codemasters. The 3DS and Vita versions of F1 2011 will follow the release of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC versions. No timetable has been announced for the handheld versions.

Product Review (submitted on November 15, 2013):
I spent two months trying to make vegan yogurt out of canned coconut milk, using a popular brand name coconut milk yogurt as a starter culture...and for two whole months, I experienced flop after flop.
I finally ordered some actual vegan yogurt starter and, from the first use, got results I'd never seen before! I've used three packets already and have created some of the richest, thickest coconut milk yogurt I thought possible.
Before, I was using thickeners like pectin, tapioca powder and the like when using other yogurt as my starter culture. With this, I haven't had to add anything and I consistently get a product which is yummy, tangy and now doubles as my vegan sour cream; it continues to thicken over time. I'll definitely be buying more.

Moms Against Darwin Dogma?
The state's proposed new science standards aren't on today's Board of Education agenda, as we far can tell. But a handful of influential Northeast Florida moms who are active in their PTOs and the Republican Party say that with the help of state Sen. Stephen Wise, R-Jacksonville, they've been given the green light to come to Tampa to tell the board they don't like what they consider to be a dogmatic, all-or-nothing take on evolution.
"It's just evolution and that's it," Kim Kendall, a St. John's County resident and self-described mom-who-won't-go-away, told The Gradebook. She said she and her group "want to make it clear we are not advocating creationism, or anything that's illegal by Supreme Court ruling. (But) there's a lot of different scientific data out there showing different things … Science told us forever that the earth was flat."
Kendall said Wise, the chair of the Senate education appropriations committee, intervened to get her and the other moms some time before the BOE. She said she doesn't represent any particular group, but a press release she sent out to dozens of media outlets (including Disney, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity) refers concerned citizens to the Florida Coalition for Academic Freedom, which credits the Center for Science and Culture, which is part of the Discovery Institute, which is the nation's leading think tank for intelligent design.

Contractor Promises Enhanced Customer Service
June 16, 2008
OAKVILLE, Ontario - After celebrating its 75 years of customer service last year, Atlas Air decided to change its name to reflect its renewed commitment to a higher standard of customer care. Now called AtlasCare, the company announced its new title to more than 150 company employees, colleagues, and suppliers who were invited to the brand launch. During the launch, Roger Grochmal, president and chief brand officer of AtlasCare, introduced the new brand and gave attendees a taste of what was involved in the rebranding of a company and outlined what it would mean for its customers.
"Last year we celebrated our 75th year in business, and we embarked on a journey to redefine our company to be the most trusted home service provider in the business," said Grochmal, who has owned the business for 21 years. "Part of that process involved speaking with our peers and customers to find out why they stay with us and refer us to their friends and family. The result of our research was compelling. In short, our customers value our standard of care."
According to Grochmal, it was this concept that drove the decision to change the company's name and redefine its mission to work diligently at earning customers' trust so they will "actively refer us, and stay with us for life."
The brand has adopted a positioning statement of "pursuing perfect health for your home." According to the company, this statement captures AtlasCare's commitment to high quality as one of the industry's only ISO-certified contractors, keeping its customers knowledgeable about advances in the industry, ways to conserve energy, save money, improve comfort, and keep families protected, safe, and healthy.
"While the look and name of the company have changed, its core purpose remains the same: to improve the quality of life for its employees, customers, suppliers, and communities through passion for serving others," pointed out Grochmal. "Our customer base has a higher expectation of us and we no longer look at ourselves as simply HVAC contractors - we are home health managers providing our clients with solutions that improve the overall health of their homes."

Until Boris Bally began experimenting with recycled traffic signage, nobody had seen the potential elegance of this discarded aluminum. He has since challenged himself to discover its properties, in order to create bold objects of beauty which transcend their common roots.
Boris brings decades of training and experience as an artist to his collection of pieces. Signage has become his passionate medium of choice not only because of the recycling message, but also its appeal to him as an extreme variation on the age-old tradition of enamelling.
His perpetual search for alternatives, variations and challenges becomes a repetitive pattern of discovery and incremental growth. Boris attempts to produce pieces of technical integrity and rich content, and his work is also influenced by the timeless techniques and forms he first discovered in the armories of European castles (raising, riveting, perforating, layering, piercing and forming) used to create representations of Medieval heraldry.

Ken Lay and Elvis, through a curious coincidence, are on my mind.
Just days before Lay died, I watched the film based on the best-selling book about Enron written by Fortune reporters Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room."
And shortly after Lay died, I saw - totally by chance while channel surfing - a one-hour special about Elvis titled "200 Cadillacs."
What is clear after seeing both films is that the corrosive atmosphere commonly found within corporate America can overwhelm a weak, greedy person like Lay.
Equally evident is that for all of Presley's human failings, he never abandoned his generous spirit.
Lay and Presley had much in common.
Both were born in the south and lived in poverty during their youth. And through hard work and ambition, Lay and Presley reached the top of their chosen careers.
Lay, whose first jobs as a young boy included mowing lawns and delivering newspapers, eventually headed Enron, once the nation's 7th largest company.
But Lay was one of the central figures in its downfall. Enron operated without a moral compass.
Top Enron executives walked away with more than $1 billion while investors and employees were left with nothing.
Through video and audiotapes recorded by insiders, the film reveals the personal excesses of Enron leaders and their willingness to take down 20,000 employees and thousands of investors while they marched straight to the deposit window.
Lay's concept of right and wrong was so distorted at Enron's end that he defended his decision to spend $200,000 on a yacht for his wife Linda's 2001 birthday party. At the time, Lay's personal debt stood at $100 million, $70 million of it owed to Enron and eventually repaid with worthless company stock.
Later, Lay told the jury that it was "difficult to turn off that lifestyle like a spigot."
Presley also had a rags-to-riches story. When he was three, Presley's father went to jail on forgery charges. During that period, his mother, Gladys, lost their home and moved in with in-laws.
But Presley endured and pursued his dream to be a star. When he was 11, he purchased a guitar from the Tupelo Hardware Store and took it to school every day.
From there, Elvis went on to Sun Records and a career that single-handedly redefined American music and culture in the 1950s.
But, as "200 Cadillacs" shows (the title comes from the number of Cadillacs Presley gave away in his life) Elvis had a different way of dealing with his wealth and good fortune than Lay did.
In 2002, Director Rex Fowler came up with his idea for "200 Cadillacs" to mark the 25th anniversary of Presley's death.
Among those interviewed was Myrna Smith, one of the "Sweet Inspirations" singers that backed Elvis in live concerts.
Here's how Smith remembers getting her Cadillac:
"I was at the house and he'd bought all these cars. I think 11, 12, 14 cars for the guys and all, and himself. He asked me if I would go with him to the Cadillac dealer to pick out a car for his dad because he's forgotten to buy his dad a car. I said sure. So I go and we pick. I pick out this brown, I don't know what it was, but a nice brown big Cadillac. And, it's nighttime. The place is closed. We're in the lot. Takes his flashlight out and goes looking, asks me what my favorite color was first. And goes looking around until he found a blue El Dorado and said, 'There's your car.'"
The song from the title track, "200 Cadillacs" ends with these lines:
"200 Cadillacs - 'N lots of Lincolns too
A-mess 'a red Corvettes - Mercedes' powder blue
Even a black Rolls Royce - He gave 'em all away
And every time he did it - This is what he'd say:
'A-what's the fun of having money if you can't give it away …'
I'll wager that Lay didn't have very much fun cheating people to make his fortune. But as for Elvis, money didn't matter very much.
No one has a bad word about Elvis. The same cannot be said about Lay.

Paris -
French police on Tuesday arrested four people as part of an investigation into the supply of jihadists to the Sahel region of Africa, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said.
French radio reports said one Malian and three Franco-Congolese binationals were arrested in the raids in the Paris area.
Valls told BFM television the operation followed the arrest a few months ago of a man caught travelling between Mali, where French and African forces are currently fighting Islamist militants, and neighbouring Niger.
He estimated at "a handful" the number of French nationals fighting alongside al-Qaeda-linked militants in the Sahel region of North and West Africa and "several dozen" those fighting alongside insurgents in Syria.
"We're fighting an external and an internal enemy," Valls said.
French police and intelligence services have been on the lookout for homegrown radicals with terrorist ambitions since 2012's attacks by Toulouse native Mohamed Merah. Merah, who claimed links to al-Qaeda shot dead seven people, including three Jewish schoolchildren. - Sapa-dpa

The NFL 53-man deadline has come and gone, as the Green Bay Packers released notable players such as quarterback Vince Young, tight end D.J. Williams, running back Alex Green, and wide receiver Charles Johnson on Saturday. Notable survivors at the final cut deadline includes defensive tackle Johnny Jolly, defensive lineman Josh Boyd, outside linebacker Andy Mulumba, offensive lineman Lane Taylor, linebacker Sam Barrington, and safety Chris Banjo.
Young, a former two-time Pro Bowl quarterback with the Tennessee Titans, hasn't played in an NFL regular season game since 2011. The Packers signed Young on August 5th, one year after participating in Buffalo Bills training camp.
Williams, the former Mackey Award Winner at the University of Arkansas, has caught nine passes for 70 yards in two NFL seasons. Williams' release is surprising to us here at Packers 101, as his versatility out of the offensive backfield and ability as an off-set tight end were intriguing assets to have on the Packers offense.
Green led the Packers in rushing last season with 464 yards. Since the Packers selected him in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Green has really never panned out as a running back for the Packers. Between Green and running back James Starks, we here at Packers 101 felt Packers head coach Mike McCarthy and General Manager Ted Thompson made the right call at running back.
Johnson, one of the team's 7th-round picks in the 2013 NFL Draft, was injured throughout training camp. Johnson was targeted on three passes in the team's preseason finale in Kansas City, but he did not catch a pass. If he isn't claimed by another NFL team, Johnson will return to Green Bay as a member of the team's practice squad.

Midway through a run, there will come a point when drool starts to form in the mouth. If I swallow it, it may hinder my breathing, but wets my throat; if I spit it away it could cause my mouth to be too dry.
What is the optimum way to run? Keep swallowing drool or keep spitting it away???
Or maybe I should just let it stay and drool like a freaking dog??!

Paul Little heard back from
Wilson's call – to say he'd finally accept Little Group's offer of 37¢ a share for his stake in
"We needed to probably decide on Tuesday what we were going to do on Wednesday and so I guess we became more confident with our meeting on Tuesday that we'd get there," Little told The Australian Financial Review in an exclusive interview this week.
It all became official at 10am on Wednesday, when Little Group (having secured Wilson's 9 per cent stake) declared it had 85 per cent of the company, bringing it over the 80 per cent needed to make the offer unconditional. By Friday, that figure had risen above 90 per cent, permitting the developer to compulsorily acquire all outstanding shares in its plan to take the owner of RUN property group private.
The apparent quick ending obscures the duel that had played out in preceding weeks between the two business veterans, pitting Little, who built up transport and logistics giant
Both spotted opportunities in
'Realistic price'
"It really was languishing and we recognised that," Little says. "We saw it being, not a bargain basement price, but certainly a realistic price."
Little Group announced its $60.7 million bid on February 10. The company, which saw RNC as a way to boost its services and asset-management side of the property business had, he says, been "circling for a while," but only got serious late last year.
The RNC board, who last year suffered the failure of a separate planned takeover, gave the deal their blessing and pledged their collective 57 per cent.
Within days, however, Wilson Asset Management had bought into the stock, paying about 36.5¢ for the 7.9 per cent stake. Two weeks later it raised that to 9 per cent.
"The RUN board didn't get an expert's report on the value of the business," Wilson told the Financial Review. "We think there were some assets in that business that were undervalued by the bid."
This gave Little a problem. He'd initially said the offer would become unconditional once Little Group – owned by Little and his investment banker wife
Robust talks
Little, no shrinking violet, declines to detail the conversations he had with Wilson, but says they were "robust".
RNC is the country's largest independent rent-roll business (essentially the management of the payment lists of real estate agents) but it also owns the Agent Plus software platform that manages RNC's own 15,000 properties and another 16,000 on a third-party basis.
Wilson said the 37¢ price was too low, as it valued the rent roll business fairly, but made no accounting of the software platform. Little retorts that wasn't going to pay for IT that may not hold its value.
"Who's going to go out and buy a public company and pay a premium for technology that could be out of date next week?" he says.
"I'm not going to do that."
His answer skips over the fact that he is already a paying customer of Agent Plus, which manages Little Residential's own 3000 properties. Little clearly sees some value in it.
No backing down
Little says his team stuck to their guns. "We felt that the 37¢ represented very fair value and that we were prepared to walk away from the transaction if the 37¢ looked like it wouldn't be supported," he says. "We really were very disciplined around the transaction, I'm pleased to say and I think it worked for us."
Wilson called for an independent valuation of the business. But Little argued the costs of that would have chewed up more value for the RNC shareholders.
Little Residential chief executive
Last week, Little changed tack. A day after the RNC board said it would not pay out a franking credit – something else Wilson called for – Little Group cut its acceptance target to 80 per cent.
This was a gamble. It could still take over RNC and delist it with 80 per cent, but this ran the risk of being stuck with a handful unhappy – and potentially vocal – minority holders.
It was also a gamble for Wilson. He could have stayed in as a minority, but would have been left with an illiquid stake and, moreover, have potentially been committed to putting in more money as the new majority owners started raising capital to invest in it.
Ultimately, however, no-one else would pay more for RNC.
Cutting losses
Even long-term shareholders like 2 per cent owner
"We don't really want to hang around," chief investment officer
Little won. Wilson, who plays a tough game, shrugs off the outcome.
"We're happy," he insisted.
"First prize for us would have been a fully franked divided, and higher bid. Second prize for us is a 14 per cent annualised return on our investment. We're quite happy."

World's Biggest Burger Weighs in at 185 Pounds
Posted By Ben Goulding, 17 September, 2009 | permalink
The world's biggest burger has been unveiled, which weighs in at 185 pounds.
Whilst the bun, which takes 8 hours to make, is being prepared, the burger is baked for 15 hours before it is topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato and wheeled out into the restaurant on a trolley.
Mallie's Sports Grill and Bar in Southgate, Michigan, USA, are selling the enormous meal for $499.
Restaurant owner Steve Mallie said: "Being in the Guinness World Records book is the greatest accomplishment we've ever done.
"I've worked my entire life to build this restaurant and being able to have the notoriety of Guinness makes it just that bit more rewarding."
Now it's just a question of who's going to eat it, and pay $499 for the privilege? And we wonder why we are one of the most obese nations on earth. I've got to say though, it does look good, doesn't it? Any takers?

Longitudinal Twin Study - Cohort Study of Blood Pressure

|Cardiovascular Diseases Heart Diseases Hypertension
|Study Type:
|Study Start Date:
|August 1983
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 1993
Identifying individuals at a young age who are at risk for future development of hypertension in adult life is a public health issue of great importance. The imperfect nature of blood pressure tracking throughout childhood and adolescence, and the fact that the genes which determine blood pressure in childhood may not be the same ones which operate in adulthood make it clear that improved predicting models are needed. The twin-parent study design allowed testing more subtle genetic and environmental hypotheses than was possible with nuclear families or twins alone. The longitudinal component permitted an analysis of developmental changes in the genetic expression of the hemodynamic determinants of blood pressure. The inclusion of unlike sex twins permitted an analysis of the consistency of genetic and environmental effects across the sexes.
The longitudinal comparison of the cardiovascular responses of adolescent twins and their parents was initialed in 1983. Three cohorts of twin families were enrolled, each cohort beginning 18 months apart. Both monozygotic and dizygotic twins were included. Variables measured included demographics, family history, personality, blood pressure, anthropometry, stage of puberty, dynamic exercise, isometric exercise, psychological stress, echocardiography, genotyping, and lipid profiles. Each cohort revisited every 18 months.
A fourth cohort of 330 preadolescent twin pairs stratified by sex and zygosity was recruited from an established population-based twin registry. The hemodynamic determinants of blood pressure were assessed by non-invasive measurements of cardiac function including echocardiography and response to isometric and dynamic exercise. Zygosity was determined by questionnaire and confirmed by dermatoglyphic analysis and blood group tests. Anthropometric and hemodynamic measurements in the parents were compared to those in the children. The study included up to five sets of longitudinal measurements, thereby permitting an evaluation of whether the same or different genes operated at different ages encompassing pre-puberty, puberty, and post-puberty.

Charlie Sheen is expected to plead guilty to a charge stemming from a Christmas Day dispute with his wife in Aspen, Colo.
The "Two and a Half Men" actor is expected to appear in court Monday. Sheen attorney Yale Galanter has said that he agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault in exchange for prosecutors dropping more serious charges.
But a spokesman for the Colorado court system says no paperwork on a proposed deal had been filed as of an hour before the hearing.
Galanter has said an agreement called for a 30-day jail sentence. Sheen was to plead guilty in June, but hit a snag over terms of a proposed work release program.
Sheen is charged with felony menacing, criminal mischief and assault against his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen.

Green sausages feed police pager panic
We applaud food hygiene but this is crazy
Mother of two Alison McKenzie sparked a nationwide panic yesterday when she complained about some mouldy Safeway sausages.
The spicy Spanish delights were quickly replaced by the supermarket but due to a fault in a BT exchange, the complaint was relayed to police voicebanks and hundreds of pagers.
Alison was more than a little surprised when she started getting home phone calls from police forces, doctors, nurses and businessmen asking her what they could do about the green goblins.
"In the end I had to put my answering machine on - my line was inundated," Alison said. "One man was annoyed that I had got his pager number but he started laughing when I explained."
And you thought we hadn't learnt our lesson from the BSE crisis. ®

If you've used Windows Small Business Server in the past, you've probably figured out exactly how DNS works. With the SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 the Connect to the Internet Wizard would analyze your network and determine a static IP address to use, and then ensure you like it before making it the server's IP address. Then as we all know, the DNS server runs on SBS and resolves local network addresses, like "domain.local" or "server" or the internal fully qualified domain (FQDN) "server.domain.local"
Since SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 are DHCP servers by default, that means they hand out IP addresses, and the server's IP as the DNS server. DNS works flawlessly in such an environment. Internet based addresses (such as Microsoft.com) are first sent to the SBS box for resolution, and then forwarded on to the ISPs DNS servers for name resolution.
Ultimately SBS is a middle man in the peer to peer DNS infrastructure and gives the full power of DNS to the local network
So how is SBS 2011 Essentials Different?
SBS 2011 Essentials doesn't assign itself a static IP address, and it doesn't have a Connect to the Internet Wizard. Essentials will automatically connect to the Internet just like any client computer, using the DHCP assigned address. It does however use its local DNS server to resolve both local and Internet based names by overriding the DHCP assigned IP address to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). If you dig into the DNS settings, you'll notice that the DNS Server picks up the routers IP as a forwarder. Routers by default will hand out their own IP as the DNS Server and proxy DNS out to the WAN configured (usually DHCP but sometimes services like OpenDNS) DNS servers. This means that if the server were to ask for an Internet based address, like technet.com, it would forward that request to the router, which would intern forward it to the ISP, which could hopefully resolve it for you.

This place was great! Staff were informative, helpful and accommodating. You get a complementary wine on arrive and a detailed guide on what to see and do in Rome- very handy! Rooms where clean and quite. Very close to public transport which made it easy to get to from the airport and around town. Awesome place to stay!

This place was fantastic , good value for money, close to everything and staff were great. However you have to pay for WIFI in your room. Down stairs free WIFI doesn't work properly connection is extremely slow. The only thing that was a huge disappointment was the drunk, noisy English tourists yelling, banging and crashing on each others doors up and down the hall way all night long. At times it felt unsafe as the groups of young guys were yelling abuse at each other.
