"The move is less appealing than it seems up front. We only need the compatibility information, nothing more, nothing less, and the ability to legally use it."
"This 'commitment' is poisoned - they do it in a way that worsens the situation for free software: because that source code is under Microsoft copyright, developers who have seen the source code cannot re-implement it in Free Software for fear of copyright violation."
"That Microsoft now questions the competency and integrity of a trustee they themselves helped appoint is outrageous. All the parties involved in the case found the trustee showed an intimate competence and understanding. How do they now dare maintain that he is biased?"

Surfboards And Cars Illustrated: The Ultimate Mid-Winter Summer Car Fantasy
Cars and surfboards are like peas and car-rots. They just go together. Give me a board, a wetsuit, a couple cans of beans and an old beater car and I'll be set for days, combing the coast on the hunt for waves.

1. Acquire the technology. The Center for Bone and Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches began its meaningful use journey by acquiring electronic health record software from Vitera Healthcare Solutions. While seemingly simple, having the correct infrastructure is crucial to meeting meaningful use requirements. "Almost half the measures are typically met by just having an ONC-certified EHR and [other] appropriate equipment," Mr. Klebonis says. For example, he says computerized physician order entry, drug interactions and medication reconciliation can be accomplished through the technological infrastructure without having to disrupt the physician's workflow. Nashville, Tenn.-based Hospital Corporation of America provided the center with financial support for much of its meaningful use-related systems, according to Mr. Klebonis.
2. Complete one-time events. Mr. Klebonis estimates a quarter of meaningful use requirements can be achieved through one-time events. For example, disease management and registry updates are one-time exports, he says.
3. Implement new practices. The remaining quarter or so of meaningful use requirements necessitate new practices that will impact daily operations, according to Mr. Klebonis. This step requires expert planning, training and support for physicians as they transition to different processes. One strategy the Center for Bone and Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches is using to facilitate this transition is planning to implement changes in the summer, when roughly 30 percent of the local area's population vacations somewhere else. Having fewer patients lessens the strain on physicians as they learn to adjust their workflows as necessary.
Realizing benefits
The orthopedic practice has already realized some of the benefits of meeting meaningful use standards, including some unexpected benefits. For example, the practice started using the new decision-support programs to review all female patients over the age of 65 for osteoporosis risk factors. Physicians can reach out to these patients to encourage a bone density scan and suggest a calcium supplement. In addition to helping prevent osteoporosis, this strategy gains patients' loyalty by proactively contacting and educating them.
The technology required for meaningful use is also helping the orthopedic practice to move away from dictation and transcription. Currently, the practice spends roughly $60,000 each month on transcription. Mr. Klebonis estimates the center can reduce that cost by nearly half over time as physicians use the new technology more.
Another meaningful use benefit for the center was its requirement to record patients' height, weight and blood pressure. While this process was not standard for the orthopedic practice before meaningful use, physicians can now use this information to pre-screen patients for surgery. Information such as blood pressure and body mass index can predict which patients will be unlikely to pass medical clearance for surgery. "We're not taking the six hours to schedule that case with all the different vendors and hospital and providers; we know beforehand the patient is likely to not get clearance, so we wait to get a more thorough evaluation from the primary care provider, Mr. Klebonis says.
Overcoming challenges
A common challenge for healthcare organizations implementing new processes, such as those required under meaningful use, is gaining physician buy-in and minimizing short-term slowing of processes and reduced productivity as clinicians adjust. The Center for Bone and Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches is overcoming these challenges by providing on-site support for physicians and meeting with physicians to discuss the changes. "If we didn't have physician buy-in, we wouldn't have reached the benefits," Mr. Klebonis says. In addition, the center joined a health information exchange to meet some otherwise challenging measures. For instance, the measure requiring lab results to be structured in a certain format was initially an obstacle for the practice, Mr. Klebonis says. However, after connecting with HCA and its local affiliate Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee, Fla., through the HIE, the physicians were able to have all lab results delivered directly to their EHR in the correct format.

SILVER SPRING, Md. The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it had begun a safety review of Takeda's Type 2 diabetes treatment Actos (pioglitazone) after receiving five-year data from a 10-year study Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America is conducting on the drug showing that some patients taking it could be at risk for bladder cancer.
The results showed no overall association between taking Actos and risk of bladder cancer, but there was an increased risk among those taking the drug for the longest period of time and in those taking it at the highest cumulative dose. The FDA said it had not concluded that the drug increases patients' bladder cancer risk.
Actos belongs to the same class as GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia (rosiglitazone), which has come under fire lately after being linked to heart problems in patients, though the drug remains available in the United States.

Written on: 14/11/2010
I bought my dress from the Nottingham branch of Caroline Castigliano and the whole thing turned into the kind of nightmare a bride dreads.
I noticed that once I had paid for my dress, which they were quite insistent was paid for upfront, the service dropped immediately.
It all started to feel very wrong when I was told by the fitter I was'' a bit of a funny shape'' (I'm 5'4'' Size 12 36dd) and I would have to pay extra if I wanted the dress to fit!! Having already paid £2,500 for a dress I was told would be made to my individual measurements, I was a little surprised but paid the extra.
I was then fobbed off many times on the phone when trying to arrange my first fitting and we then found out the shop had closed down, four weeks before our wedding.Nobody had informed us.I eventually managed to arrange a first fitting which was only 3 weeks prior to our wedding in a shop now full of packing boxes. The dress didn't fit .The skirt was too tight and the bodice too low and gaping at the front.I was very upset and things weren't helped by the fitter saying.....'well you are a bit fleshy aren't you'
The skirt was altered and was ok apart from the fact that the ribbons that hold it up when dancing came off before the first dance and I had to pin it up with a borrowed kilt pin! The fitter insisted the bodice was ok and despite rushed alterations the week before when another fitter agreed it was'a bit messy'' and improved it slightly, it never fitted me correctly and they had to fasten it to my bra with press studs to stop it gaping!!
The run up to our wedding was spoilt with all the stress,I felt very concious of my ill fitting dress on the day and also many of the photographs were spoilt.
Customer service was appalling throughout,they had a very superior uncaring attitude.We wrote a very detailed letter of complaint and asked for an appology and to refund some of the money to charity,they did neither.They didn't address any concerns we raised and just said the dress was as the designer had intended.
We wrote again.....they never replied.
I had very normal expectations of a wonderful wedding dress and was very badly disappointed and let down by this appalling company.

Mount Snow, Vermont, March 6 With official results just in, Europe'stop riders dominated the men's qualifying trials for tomorrow's SwatchBoarder-X competition at Mount Snow, making it an especially competitiverace for American contenders Jason Brown, Mark Schulz and Ryan Neptune. The women's race is also likely to be the toughest fight for the finishso far as Nillard Pilavakis, Marguerite Cossettini and Pepi Ahonen faceoff for the first time since their big showdown at the last Vans WorldChampionship.
ESPN2's Kris Jamieson commented, The Americans in the top 20 are allsoft boot riders, which usually gives them an edge in a tight group likea boardercross race, but the Europeans (who are mainly hard boot riders)are very adept in the icy conditions. This one will come down toindividual skill and speed control.
Making an impressive showing against an array of world class competitorswere Melissa Nicholson, Tristan Herbert and Elia Hamilton all membersof the Mount Snow Ride On! Team. Another local boarder, Theadore Rauh,qualified 34th and will take a shot at the $35,000 cash purse.
Jason Brown, who placed first at the Bear Mountain, California, eventcame in just ahead of Italy's Fabrizio Bonacina, Copper Mountain'swinner. Each will be looking for a second North American win as theybattle riders from more than 12 countries, including Bertrand Denervaud,the Olympic boarder from Switzerland. Marguerite Cossettini(Australia) has been the boarder to beat in the women's competitions,taking first in both previous U.S. stops. However, this time, one ofboardercross' toughest female athletes, Pepi Ahonen (Finland) will addedto the mix and Nillard Pilavakis, female world champion and a native NewEnglander, is on her home snow.
The action begins tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. Mount Snow marks the lastU.S. stop of the Swatch Boarder-X World Tour Presented by Airwalk. The next event will take place in Laax, Switzerland. The tour airs onESPN2 and a special behind-the-scenes look will appear on Fox's BoardWild.

Saturday in Easter Week
Saint for the day: Blessed Peter Gonzalez (d. 1246)
Scripture readings for today's liturgy:
Acts 4:13-21
Psalm 118
Mark 16:9-15
"Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature"
These words at the end of today's Gospel are the "marching orders" for the early church and are based on the conviction of those who have encountered the Risen Lord. "What we have witnessed and seen with our own eyes we now proclaim to you."
With those words firmly rooted in their lives they "go out" to all the world and proclaim "Jesus Christ, Savior of the world." They didn't spend years in seminary study and were simple people who were uneducated and probably couldn't even read or write. But they had faith! This kind of faith takes us beyond all our ready-at-hand categories and we often speak of it as something that we "have." We would be better to speak of it as something that we "do" or something that we "are" by God's gift. Be that as it may. It was enough to get the early Church going.
I am reminded of the saying, "If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?"
Again, it's not that Christianity has been tried and failed. It's more likely that it hasn't been tried with conviction. The early followers of Jesus were convinced of His resurrection so much so that they told the powers that be, "how can you tell us not to speak of these wonders that we have seen with our own eyes?"
We have 2,000 years of tradition behind our belief and yet some of us have still not translated that into a living faith. I don't have all the answers to many questions but I still believe that God raised Jesus from the dead that – way, this far down the road of history – I, Brother Daniel Thomas, a Dominican missionary in Africa in the 21st century can encounter this Risen Lord even if I have to say, with my name-sake, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!" It doesn't take much of a spark of faith to cause a great fire to get going in our lives. But we have to accept it not just once. But every day of our lives.
That's why we go through this "Easter thing" for seventy days! Amen!

Keeping free speech alive at GAB
Thursday the six retired judges who make up the Government Accountability Board will hear testimony from nationally recognized legal experts making a strong case against the constitutionality of proposed rules to gag free political speech in Wisconsin.
The judges will also hear completely irrelevant and emotionally charged testimony from Wisconsin's favorite good government hypocrite Mike McCabe, who runs the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a non-profit organization which uses every issue known to man to justify gagging free political speech. McCabe will serenade board members with his usual liberal tirade – providing them with a much needed break from the legal realities standing between their desire to make life easier for Wisconsin incumbent politicians, and our right to speak freely about their voting records.
Wisconsin Club for Growth is proud to be part of a diverse coalition of business and professional associations, labor unions and other non-profit and membership organizations opposing the proposed ban on free speech, and we are most grateful to representatives from the Center for Competitive Politics and the James Madison Center for Free Speech for providing their testimony to the GAB this week.

Illustrated Guide to Familiar American Trees
I don't get it about the natural world.
Like, greenery,
without people in it, is supposed to do what?
City sunlight, I say, how can you beat it
the walk to the pool after work, shine
caught in the shopkeeper's visor, bursts.
I see myself moving around New York,
snapping my fingers, eating fries.
My ex-wife's out in California.
I wish she was over on Bank Street,
up on the second floor,
and I was on the way there
to call to her from the sidewalk.
There's a cypress on that block, two honey
locusts and an oak. I love those trees
like my own brothers.
It was on this day in 1825 that the writer Alexandre Dumas fought his first duel. He was 23 years old, and he had gotten into a fight with a soldier over a game of billiards. They had a duel with swords. Not only did Alexandre Dumas lose the duel, but his pants fell off in the middle of it.
But 20 years later, he became famous as the author of The Three Musketeers (1844) and The Count of Monte Cristo (1845).
It's the birthday of journalist Herbert Bayard Swope, (books by this author) born in St. Louis in 1882. He said, "I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure which is: Try to please everybody."
It's the birthday of novelist Stella Gibbons, (books by this author) born in 1902 in London, England. She wrote a parody of a novel by a writer named Mary Webb, a writer who wrote fatalistic, gloomy novels set in rural places, in the tradition of Thomas Hardy. Gibbons did not like that genre, so she wrote her parody, a novel called Cold Comfort Farm (1932). It's about a cheerful, modern young woman named Flora who goes to live with her brooding, dysfunctional relatives on their old-fashioned farm in rural England. Cold Comfort Farm was a great success, and it's still read today, even though the genre that it was parodying has disappeared.
It's the birthday of Umberto Eco, (books by this author) born in Alessandria, Italy (1932). He was a professor of aesthetics, visual communication, architecture, and semiotics. He wrote critical theory about pop culture. Then one day, a fiction publisher called him up and asked him if he'd like to contribute to an anthology of detective fiction. Eco had never written fiction, but as an academic, he knew what made good fiction, so he decided to give it a try. And instead of a short story, he wrote a 500-page book, a 14th-century whodunit set in a monastery, The Name of the Rose (1980). It sold 2 million copies. He went on to write Foucault's Pendulum (1988) and The Island of The Day Before (1995).
It's the birthday of the poet W.D. Snodgrass, (books by this author) born William De Witt Snodgrass in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania (1926). He wrote poems about his failed marriage, even though personal poetry wasn't trendy in the 1950s. But he kept doing it anyway, and his first book was published in 1959, Heart's Needle, and it won the Pulitzer Prize.
Snodgrass was one of the people who helped popularize personal poetry, so he is often labeled as one of the founders of "confessional poetry," even though he doesn't like that label. W.D. Snodgrass has also translated songs and poems from many languages, collected in the book Selected Translations (1998).
And it's the birthday of Jack Norworth, (books by this author) born in Philadelphia in 1879. Jack Norworth had never been to a baseball game, but one day in 1908, he was riding the subway and he saw a sign that said "Baseball Today Polo Grounds," and he started thinking of baseball lyrics. He wrote them down on a piece of scratch paper, and then took them to the composer Albert Von Tilzer, another man who had never seen a baseball game, who went ahead and wrote the music. And the song became very famous: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Finished my epic Fallout New Vegas run so am playing something lighter, the (modern) Prince of Persia series.
SoT is done (although I'd played it before I forgot how annoying that lift battle was) and am now on WW, I actually like the gloomy vibe but the combat is a bit annoying - I've never been a fan of lots of combos. After this I'll play TT and Forgotten Sands, I played the 2008 reboot last year (it was OK but nothing special).

It sounds like Saab can't win for losing. Reuters is reporting that the Swedish automaker had to stop production again on Tuesday, June 6, due to possible parts shortages. Saab just recently started its lines back up after a nearly two-month stoppage brought about by cash shortages.
Saab Production Delays
Report: Saab suffers another production stoppage as supplier woes mount
Last week, we told you about the on-off three-day work stoppage at Saab's Trolhättan plant, which occurred due to a financial dispute with one or more suppliers. Spyker CEO Victor Muller then publicly insisted that the delay was nothing more than a "minor glitch" due to a short-term liquidity problem.

Differences between the UK v US
For my last vlog, instead of a travel video I decided to do one about the differences between the UK and the US. I know I've written a couple of blogs about the differences, but this way you get to hear the Brits opinions as well. This whole vlog is extremely chaotic, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get to explain any difference fully because I kept getting interrupted, but you will get the just of it hopefully. Also, in case anyone was curious, I had to put the MNU logo in because some people, were doing inappropriate motions. It took us forever to actually get something that would sort of work, but we got there in the end. I am so grateful for having these vlogs to remember my time at NTC because without a doubt it has been the best year of my life. Cheers to everyone who has kept up with these because I know there was a lot. Honestly, if you ever get the chance to study abroad do it. I have learned so much about the UK culture, about the US culture that I had no idea about, and about myself. Studying abroad will change your life.

Additionally, the contaminants reportedly gave the McMahons and their three young children severe respiratory ailments.

No doubt about it, Gwen Stefani still has it. The "it" being that ultimate rock chick title, the killer blonde do, the infamous abs and a family of four. In her interview with Marie Claire magazine, Gwen spoke intimately about raising her two sons with husband of ten years, lead singer of Gavin Rossdale, Bush. She revealed that ''my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.'' The blonde beauty said marriage ''is something that I always wanted to do successfully. It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together.''
When it's not marriage, babies or fashion design (Gwen has three clothing lines including L.A.M.B) it's No Doubt for this hot little mama. Tracks from their new album, Push And Shove, were written by Gwen and bass player Tony Kanal. Of song writing, Gwen revealed the first time she thought "Oh my gosh, this is passion, this is power. This is defining me."
Take a look at the photo shoot of Gwen trending the baroque look in back tunic dress and gold statement necklace. She couldn't leave out the luxe-leather either, we love her monochrome look.

Take a look through our gallery below at Gwen's style evolution...

Demonstrators shut down an Arizona highway leading to a campaign rally for Donald Trump while protesters rallied outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan to voice their opposition to the front-runner for the US Republican presidential nomination.
Television news footage of the demonstration outside Phoenix showed dozens of protesters blocking traffic while holding signs that read "Dump Trump" and "Shut Down Trump".
The demonstrators eventually started marching down the highway, and later some were seen nearing the rally at Fountain Hills, Arizona, before Mr Trump arrived.
Three people were arrested, the Maricopa County Sheriff's office said.
Saturday's protests reflect rising tensions around the polarising candidate, who has come under fire from rivals for fuelling unrest with his campaign rhetoric.
He has denied responsibility, but this week warned of riots if he is denied the party presidential nomination.
In his home city of New York, about 1,000 demonstrators marched from Central Park to Trump Tower, the billionaire developer's signature building on Manhattan's tony Fifth Avenue.
The crowd of mostly young people chanted and carried placards denouncing the Republican presidential hopeful.
Some of them said police used pepper spray on them as they left the park and started marching.
Police were seen taking at least one person into custody, but a spokesman for the New York Police Department could not immediately confirm whether any arrests were made or whether pepper spray was used.

The External Sourcing of Technological Knowledge by US Pharmaceutical Companies: Strategic Goals and Inter-organizational Relationships
This study of the organization of the discovery function by large US pharmaceutical companies (LPCs) examines an important knowledge acquisition strategy—external sourcing of compounds and technologies. Through a critical examination of the "capabilities" thesis in strategic management and of the theoretical conceptualization in organization studies of innovation networks, we undertake an in-depth qualitative analysis of the network relationships LPCs establish with biotechnology firms/public research laboratories. We additionally examine the motivations and degree of strategic intent of R&D managers involved in external knowledge sourcing. The paper identifies the tensions and contradictions in network relationships and indicates how these lead to changes in knowledge sourcing. This qualitative analysis is placed in its industry and technology context. This reveals both the pressures towards and the trends in external knowledge sourcing, as compared with in-house discovery. Extensive interviews with US LPCs and biotechnology firms provide a rare glimpse of how some of the most important actors in global innovation networks handle a significant new innovation strategy.

It's hard to know whether the founders of the American Republic, sober-minded statesman such as John Adams and James Madison, would have enjoyed playing video games like Mortal Kombat. Periwigged and relying on leeches for their medicine and on quill feathers to record their thoughts, Adams and Madison could scarcely have imagined the disorienting wonders of the gaming world.
Yet it was precisely to the Founding Fathers that the United States Supreme Court turned to decide whether a state has the right to prevent minors from buying violent video games.
It was game over for censorship when the court ruled last week in a resounding 7-2 decision that California's 1995 law prohibiting the sale of violent games to those under 18 was unconstitutional.
In Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA), the majority affirmed that video games enjoy the same First Amendment free-speech rights as "books, plays and movies" and further that these rights extend to children, at least in terms of access to violent material.
At the heart of the case were such vividly violent games as School Shooter, which allows players to reenact famous massacres, including the Columbine and Virginia Tech killings. School Shooter includes the option of killing yourself before being captured by the police.
"In some of these games, the violence is astounding," Justice Sam Alito observed in his concurrent opinion. "Victims by the dozens are killed with every imaginable implement, including machine guns, shotguns, clubs, hammers, axes, swords, and chainsaws.
"Victims are dismembered, decapitated, disemboweled, set on fire, and chopped into little pieces. They cry out in agony and beg for mercy. Blood gushes, splatters, and pools. Severed body parts and gobs of human remains are graphically shown. In some games, points are awarded based, not only on the number of victims killed, but on the killing technique employed."
As Justice John Roberts noted, another game involves "people actively hitting schoolgirls over the head with a shovel so they'll beg for mercy" - players also "pour gasoline over them, set them on fire, and urinate on them."
Jumping ideological barriers
Brown v. EMA is a fascinating decision in part because it splintered the court's usual ideological divide. In recent years, the court has been split between a conservative majority and a liberal minority, but in this case, liberals and conservatives were on both sides of the fence, with Justice Clarence Thomas on the right and Justice Steven Breyer on the left both articulating strong dissents, albeit on very different political grounds.
Moreover, although conservative Justices Alito and Roberts voted with the majority, they joined together in a concurrence arguing that a more carefully crafted anti-video game law could pass constitutional muster.
So despite the strong statement suggested by the 7-2 decision, at least four justices accept the idea that a ban on certain video games for minors might conceivably be legally acceptable.
The conservatives in the courts tend to frame their arguments in terms of original intent - a fundamentalist reading of the constitution that gives priority to the presumed values of the Founding Fathers and subsequent authors of constitutional amendments.
But the conservatives on the court are also highly deferent to corporate interests, recently supporting Wal Mart in a major sex discrimination case and granting corporations the right to flood the political process with money. As Steven Shapiro of the American Civil Liberties Union told reporters, simply, "It is a pro-business court."
Raising kids the Colonial way
In siding with the video-game companies, most of the conservatives on the court were only too quick to throw originalism overboard. The one exception was Clarence Thomas. In his remarkably radical dissent, Justice Thomas denied that children have First Amendment rights by citing extensive historical sources on child-rearing practices in colonial America.
"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation," he wrote, "establish that 'the freedom of speech,' as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians. … The historical evidence shows that the founding generation believed parents had absolute authority over their minor children and expected parents to use that authority to direct the proper development of their children."
Justice Thomas went on to cite with approval Thomas Jefferson's "rigorous management" of the children in his care.
He was of course correct in observing that children had few if any rights in the 18th century, but this just points up the absurdity of making a distant historical age the absolute arbiter of contemporary policy: If we look to the Founders for advice on child-rearing, should we also follow their lead on slave-holding and the subservience of women?
The case of Sex v. Violence
The liberals on the court, for their part, were divided between a majority of First Amendment absolutists and the lonely voice of Justice Breyer, who spoke on behalf of communal values. As he noted, the courts have long maintained that it was proper to restrict access of sexually obscene material to minors.
During the oral arguments of the case, Justice Breyer asked, "What common sense is there in having a state of the law that a 13-year-old cannot go in and buy a picture of a naked woman, but the 13-year-old can go in and buy one of these [violent]video games?"
In response to this concern, Justice Scalia, when writing the majority decision noted that the United States does not have "a longstanding tradition … of specially restricting children's access to depictions of violence" and therefore "speech about violence is not obscene." In his own way, he was here expressing a kind of originalism, arguing that because violent material wasn't ever regarded as obscene in the past there is no reason to regard it as obscene now.
But this begs Justice Breyer's forceful question as to why mild smut can be restricted to minors who are allowed to purchase ultra-violent games. As Justice Alito noted in his concurrence, "As a result of today's decision, a State may prohibit the sale to minors of … 'girlie magazines,' but a State must surmount a formidable (and perhaps insurmountable) obstacle if it wishes to prevent children from purchasing the most violent and depraved video games imaginable."
The founding fathers may or may not have enjoyed Mortal Kombat but the ultimate question raised by this case is whether American jurisprudence can still rely on 18th century legal theories to grapple with 21st century problems.

Atlant Mytischi has become the halfway house for Senators goaltenders.
First, Ray Emery.
Now, Martin Gerber.
Gerber signed a one-year deal to play for the KHL club the other day, according to a Russian newspaper, replacing Emery, who came back to the NHL with the Flyers.
Gerbers salary is rumoured to be in the $700,000 (all terms US) range, but players in Russia typically dont pay tax and receive considerable perks, including free housing, a car and cellphone.
At 35, Gerber is in a different situation than Emery, who was bought out by the Senators last summer and didnt have much in the way of options after a series of incidents here. Emery was pretty much drummed out of the league for a year and did his time.
Gerber was rumoured to have been considered for the backup job with the Penguins, who settled on Brent Johnson to team with Marc-Andre Fleury.
At his age and given his level of performance, weve probably seen the last of Gerber on this side of the Atlantic.
Was it just three years ago he was signing an $11-million deal with the Senators?
Will play for food
At least Gerbers got a job.
There are still about 40 name unrestricted free agents out there who are looking for work.
At the top of the list is F Alex Tanguay, though it has been rumoured for a while that he is on his way to the Panthers with a couple of other teams (the Islanders and Predators) rumoured to be in the mix.
Some of the players are close to the end of their careers (or may already be there) like D Sergei Zubov and Fs Brendan Shanahan and Mats Sundin.
But there are plenty of other players still available who still have something to contribute: Gs Martin Biron and Manny Fernandez; D Derek Morris, Dennis Seidenberg, Martin Skoula, Marc-Andre Bergeron and Francis Bouillon; and Fs Robert Lang, Petr Sykora, P.J. Axelsson, Jason Williams, Taylor Pyatt, Maxim Afinogenov, Mike Grier and Miro Satan.
Lang is closing in on 39 years old and made $4 million with the Habs last year, but was pretty effective with 18 goals and 21 assists in the 50 games he played. His season was ended by a severed Achilles tendon and that might scare off a few teams. It might have been a bit of a coincidence, but the Canadiens incredible meltdown last year started around the time Lang went down.
Bouillon could be a bargain. Seeing him with the Canadiens over the years, he shows up and plays much bigger than he is. Hes got a question mark, too (as do almost all these guys on the list) and thats a groin injury that kept him out for close to 30 games last year. He can be a dependable depth player for somebody.
Just about all the remaining UFAs left are probably going to have to take salary cuts compared to last year.
Hear and there
There didnt seem to be too much happening on the Dany Heatley front yesterday. One source indicated there hadnt been much in the way of meaningful discussions in close to a week ... Were into the arbitration hearing season (17 players had filed) and you can expect a flurry of signings before many of the hearings take place (they are due to run until next Thursday). Ottawas Marc Methot avoided his hearing with the Blue Jackets today. The blueliner signed a new two-year deal yesterday, bringing to seven the number of players avoiding the hearings so far. The Senators dont have any players taking them to arbitration this summer. Near as we can figure, only two players had their hearings last year ... The schedule for the world hockey championship is out and its interesting to note the first game on tap May 7 is between the U.S. and Germany at Gelsenkirchen in the Veltins Arena, which holds almost 62,000 for soccer games (it could be as high as 76,000 for the hockey game, a record) and has a retractable roof ... Yeesh, what a summer for the Blackhawks. First the qualifying offers fiasco, then the unpopular ousting of GM Dale Tallon and now word W Marian Hossa, their big free- agent signing ($62.8 million) might have a torn rotator cuff which might keep him out until December. The Hawks are stealing a page from the Islanders old book How To Wreck Your Season in July.

Germany punish Portugal, Neymar ends drought
Germany will be Europe's sole representatives in the semi-finals of the Men's Olympic Football Tournament after beating Portugal to set up a last-four meeting with Nigeria, while Barcelona ace Neymar helped hosts Brazil get the better of Colombia.
Quarter-final results
Portugal 0-4 Germany, Brasilia
Nigeria 2-0 Denmark, Salvador
South Korea 0-1 Honduras, Belo Horizonte
Brazil 2-0 Colombia, Sao Paulo
Germany lost 5-0 to Portugal in the semi-finals of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship last year, but they earned sweet revenge in Brasilia thanks to a well-deserved win. Serge Gnabry broke the deadlock, producing a cool finish moments before half-time to take his Olympic tally to six goals in four games, before Matthias Ginter, Davie Selke and Philipp Max also struck.
"We stuck together as a team, our system worked very well against Portugal and I think we deserved to win," said Arsenal forward Gnabry afterwards. "Our goal is obviously to win the whole tournament. We came here with this goal and hopefully we can carry on in the next game."
That will come against Nigeria after the African heavyweights downed Denmark 2-0, Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel finding the net before Aminu Umar sealed the result. Also through to the last four are hosts Brazil, who beat Colombia by the same scoreline as Neymar buried a free-kick for his first Olympic goal in 501 minutes ahead of a late strike from Luan.
They will now tackle Honduras, through to their maiden Olympic semi-final following a 1-0 victory against South Korea courtesy of an Alberth Elis effort.
Semi-finals, Wednesday 17 August
Brazil v Honduras, Rio de Janeiro
Nigeria v Germany, Sao Paulo

Everyone has got them, everyone looks exactly the same except for maybe a number decal on the side. Below are some examples of what a little creative flair can do to that boring wheelie bin.
Whilst we are not sure if your local council will even collect this bin with this much customisation, at least someone has decided enough is enough. Why should all wheelie bins look exactly the same? Get your coloured marker pens together and go crazy!

Though MegaFest officially wrapped up a day earlier, there was still plenty of excitement over the event at organizer Bishop T.D. Jakes' church Sunday morning.
He told the overflow crowd at his church services that he was overwhelmed by the success of the three-day family-oriented festival in downtown Dallas.
"I've never been more proud of you," he told more than 12,000 people at the Potter's House near Mountain Creek Lake. "I see why God sent me to Dallas."
Sunday's crowd, large even by megachurch standards, was filled with guests who were in town to attend the star-studded MegaFest. The event drew an estimated 75,000 attendees from around the country; organizers had projected 50,000.
"It validates our promise that Dallas is a great city to host MegaFest for many years to come," said Phillip Jones, president and CEO of the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Exceeding the attendance goal by 50 percent is something we can all celebrate."
This was Dallas' first year to host the event, which debuted in Atlanta in 2004.
After a presentation for a planned youth center, Potter's House officials on Sunday called for donations. Filmmaker Tyler Perry, in North Texas for MegaFest, contributed $1 million.
Shelia Alphonse of New Orleans came to Potter's House after attending MegaFest with her two young granddaughters.
She said that the event "an awesome experience" and that she was returning home with a lot of lessons from Jakes. "He always has something that is inspirational and uplifting."
Staff writer Selwyn Crawford contributed to this report.


text: I recently got hold of 5 rolls of expired 320T I couldn't get any info out of the buyer regarding how they were stored or when they were purchased. I'm going to sacrifice one as a test roll, as I want to use some later this year for night shots in taipei where I will need more speed than Fuji 64T. But I was wondering assuming the film expired in 2007 and has been sat on a shelf during that time what can I expect? Roughly how much speed would you assume its lost? I don't even know if they were from the same batch and stored together but i'm going to assume they were. I'll be using a Dynax 7 to test it. What bracketing should I use? .3 .5 more? Thanks for any advice, I couldn't find much help from searching or googling. EPJ doesn't seem to have been very popular

Can someone please tell me why my computer thinks I'm in a different city?
When I'm on the internet I constantly get ads on web pages for things in
Calgary but I live in Toronto. Why is this?
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Thanks in advance.
Nothing to do with your PC I do not think. My guess is it is your assigned IP
Ed Metcalfe.
Thanks Ed, I believe my service provider is based in Alberta. However this
problem has only started about 6 months ago, I've been with the same service
provider for 4 1/2 years. Any other ideas, anyone?
Call your ISP and ask them, they must've changed something at their end.
Or it is a ploy by those Calgarians to get you to move there ;-)
Like other businesses, ISP's are subject to take-over by or merging with
larger corporations. Has your "old" ISP been recently acquired or merged ?
When mine was, I knew about it after receiving e-mails about all the changes
to come.
I actually have a similar quirk with some of the adverts I see online. I'm
in Birmingham, UK. Lots of the adverts I see seem to be under the impression
I'm in Birmingham, AL. Only a minor difference! :-)

Hi, my name is Sreyroth.
I'm 12 and in the 3rd grade
When I grow up I want to be a doctor to help my family.
Support 1 Child 1 Hope
Prek Pneu Catch Up School
- Opened in 2011
- 163 students enrolled
- 86 boys and 77 girls
- Student-teacher ratio of 20:1 compared to the 46:1 nationwide average.
- Many families cannot afford to pay for school expenses such as books, supplies, uniforms, transportation, and informal fees that many teachers demand from their students and children often quit school to work and support their families.
- A large portion of the students who attend the school are ethnic Vietnamese. In some cases, Vietnamese children can face harsh discrimination by teachers, which affects their ability to learn and leads some parents to remove their children from school rather than have them face the abuse.
- On average, most of the students in the program are two to three grade levels behind.

- How long have you been with Asian Hope? Since 2011
- What do you love about your job? "I believe in education," Chanrith says. "And I believe that everyone deserves a bright future."
- What do you want for your students' future? "If you look around this area, you'll find hospitals and micro-finance places. I talk to the kids about how they can get there with an education," he says. "People who don't have a high education, it's harder for them to find jobs. But someone with an education has more choices."

I have, oh-so-cynically, referred to the court set up under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as a "phony baloney" court that grants rubber-stamp approval to virtually every snooping request that comes its way. Of course, I base that subjective assessment on the fact that, in 11 years, the court has denied only 10 applications, and modified a few dozen, and approved more than 15,000. The president says if people share my jaded take on such judicial review, then "we're going to have some problems here." But, as noted at Reason 24/7, we already have a problem, in that this rubber-stamp body is secretly transforming the laws governing surveillance, and enormously expanding the powers available to the National Security Agency,

Hannah Storm Returns to ESPN, Thanks Makeup Artists (VIDEO)
Hannah Storm, co-anchor of ESPN's "Sport Center" has returned to work after suffering major burns during a propane accident.
A longtime sports journalist, Storm was home one night in December, attempting to get her grill working. When the flame failed to ignite, Storm turned the grill off and on again, causing an explosive fire.
Storm suffered first-degree burns to her face, causing her to lose her eyebrows, eyelashes, and nearly half her hair. She also suffered second degree burns to her chest and hands.
But during her first appearance as host of ABC's Rose Parade on New Year's day, Storm referred to herself as "fortunate." Despite having "red flame marks up her neck."
"It is a long, hard road for burn victims," Storm told ABC. "I was by far the most fortunate one in my burn unit."
Storm also revealed the she was extremely grateful to hair and makeup.
"I spent an hour in hair and make up. I have on false eyelashes," Storm said before the parade, before tugging at her hair and adding, "this is all fake hair."
"When the makeup artist brushed an eyebrow on me, I almost stood up and kissed her," storm added.
Storm still has bandages on her hand, which kept her from being able to turn script pages. She was, instead, allowed to adlib. Afterwards, Storm expressed that she was grateful for the opportunity.
"I was just so happy to be there, so grateful," she said afterwards, according to the Huffington Post. "It took a lot out of me, but it went great."
"I could be myself today, just talking and reacting to what I saw," Storm added. "It was a very familiar place."
The sports anchor also cautioned people about the dangers of propane grills.

Luhnow: Astros prepared to pursue Soler
Luhnow: Astros prepared to pursue Soler
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Tuesday the team has seen Soler work out on a number of occasions and is prepared to try to sign him if he's declared a free agent. Soler has applied for residency in the Dominican Republic -- the first step to becoming eligible for free agency -- and could receive it in the next few days.
"We're sitting on the sideline waiting for that to happen, as everybody else is, too," he said.
Once the outfielder gains residency, Major League Baseball can declare him a free agent, but he still must be legally cleared by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control before he can sign a contract.
"We've seen him several times, and we're keeping in touch with people that are working with him that are trying to get him the citizenship sorted out so he could become a free agent," Luhnow said. "When that happens, they have a process set out for teams, and we're going to be paying attention to that."
Luhnow said the Astros, who haven't made a huge splash in Latin America since signing outfielder Arial Ovando to a club-record $2.6 million bonus in 2010, are in position to spend some money in Latin America.
"The question is who and how much?" he said. "We don't want to overspend on a player. We have looked at everybody already. [Director of Latin American scouting] Felix Francisco has done a great job and has had all the scouts look at all the top players from Latin America in the upcoming class, and we're on top of all the Cuban defectors and other players."

Thanks Andy.
Thank you, Ank. Yes, I picked up your comment on Phoebe hamster - thank you, I have replied. Nicky.
What a lovely photo, thanks. I'm sorry to read that she is not here anymore, it's very sad. I'm glad you have good memories and photos. I also wrote a comment at your older puzzle, the hamster. I hope you will see it. Ank
She was a very pretty cat Nicky - so sorry to hear she is no longer with you.
Thanks, Sandy. She was a very sweet girl. She sadly passed away last June, after a routine operation so it was very sad, but she's laid to rest in the garden she loves, and sharing her pictures with others here is helping. I'm so glad others are enjoying doing her puzzle pictures.
Sorry to hear she is no longer with you niccolino. She looks like she was a sweetheart.
God bless you always, sweet Connie.
Oh no...she's gone now? Oh, I am sorry to hear that, Nicky. Very sorry, indeed.
Thanks petsmom, aggie and canoekaw. She was such a sweetie - I miss her very much. So glad I have pictures to remind me of her.
A real sweet picture, nicely done.
Connie looks so cute snuggling with Mouse Dolly. What a pretty cat.

I wanted to replay in 1999 - and while it's definitely doable, I think it's silly that you have to play 15-20 minutes between checkpoints, and sometimes even more.
I'll wait and see if they implement quick save in a patch.
