The Spirit Behind Creative Spirit
By Michael Tyson in Video on Sunday 12 February 2012
I did some freelance work for Droga5 once and I have to say everything said in this film is one hundred percent true. This story is so touching and makes you realise this world ain't such a bad place after all. Cue fuzzy feeling.
The morbid short films of Douglas Burgdorff
By Michael Tyson in Video on Saturday 4 February 2012
A director from Los Angeles, Douglas Burgdorff's work can be described as raw, morbid and shocking. You should be looking away and squirming like the first time you watched one of the 'saw films'. The majority of it is not safe for work but this guy's work is almost worth losing your job over.

Jake Terrey's epic video for Bon Chat Bon Rat
By Michael Tyson in Video on Wednesday 9 November 2011
Jake Terrey's film clip for Bon Chat Bon Rat has to be one of my favourite music videos at the moment and it's not just because I'm a pyromaniac. All the visual elements of this clip work together almost too perfectly. The video doesn't get carried away with narrative, which is great. It's just some […]

Short video exploring Darkness in Japan by Michael Tyson

Documentary photography by Andrew S Cameron
By Michael Tyson in New Photography on Thursday 20 October 2011
There's something satisfying about wandering through folders of documentary photography, staring at images of places you'd rather be. There's also something depressing about it as well because that's the moment you realise you're broke and your dreams of travel are just that. And you suck at photography. Andrew S Cameron is the cause of this. I'll let it slide this time because I'm about to embark on another journey through your photographs.

I Need Nothing: a nearly useless odyssey
By Michael Tyson in Video on Thursday 20 October 2011
This is an amazing concept based on the fact that, through the covers of vinyls and CDs, we are able to listen to music with our eyes. I've definitely caught myself in similar situations when buying CDs or records. Every album cover was designed and printed for the project and shot in one take. Hard […]

"We were much better off in camp with our shoes on with the laces untied. "...I agree! That's why I don't use camp shoes. ;)Sorry they did not work for you, they seem to work for others...So it goes. Good thing there are so many different ideas to choose fom!
This are my camp shoes, at first they were a little lighter with duct tape, but the tape would be replace every outing, so I added the cord as laces, works great at 1.5oz. No river fording on these I just use my trail shoes for that and once at camp I slip on night socks and these
Edited by comaone on 05/17/2011 00:32:52 MDT.
Whoa, lookin nice Albert!Was the tape falling off? I have been using the sticky "good quality" duct tape and have had no problems with just one piece across the top.
At 3 ounces a pr the Neoprene Slippers or 'CROC LINERS' look like a good solution. Still at 16 ounces or less a pr I will use X-talon 212 or bare 200's and loosen the laces. 2 ounces pr for extra dry socks and I am done.
2 possibilities with the Goose Feet: --Get just the waterproof shells (they need to be seam-sealed) and wear over a pair of dry socks.--Get both booties and shells and forget the socks--definitely warmer.However, it appears that the Goose Feet owner is gone until Aug. 20. IMHO, Goose Feet are well worth waiting for! The homemade alternatives above or a pair of Sprint Aquatics mesh shoes should last you until then. BTW, I used the Sprint Aquatics for camp shoes for several years before Goose Feet came along, and they worked just fine. Unless I scuffed around in the dirt, my sleeping socks stayed clean.This thread has brought up an issue with the Five Fingers shoes that those interested in such shoes should consider--the problem of keeping feet warm and dry in camp!
Edited by hikinggranny on 05/17/2011 12:28:44 MDT.
Wow I brought up a new promblem I feel accomplished lol the shoes are great and everything but the thick fabric between the toes drys really quick but in between the toes stay whet and when the sun goes down and the temps drop your toes get COLD I think I will use my neoprene socks until I can order some goosefeet botties and over booties

President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has returned from Qatar, where she led a delegation of Liberian officials to meetings with the Qataree Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani and authorities.
Liberia's Foreign Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan, says the Liberian delegation met with the head of the Qatar Foundation, Qatar Investment Authority, people from the charity side and investors, who intend to come and invest in Liberia.
Mr. Ngafuan announced that there will be a delegation to Liberia from the Qatar Investment Authority including business people to identify investment opportunities "In our various sectors." During President Sirleaf and her delegation's meeting with the Qataree authorities, the Liberian Foreign Minister says both countries signed agreement on manpower and labour.
Additionally, he says people from the Qatar Care and the Qatra Foundation headed by the mother of the Emir, have agreed to come to Liberia to identify areas of investment, including health, education, sanitation and others.
"And at the end of the day we signed some agreements of cooperation between Liberia and Qatar- one for economic and technical cooperation; the other one for air services cooperation," Minister Ngafuan disclosed. He told journalists at the Roberts International Airport or RIA on Thursday, 22 May that the air services cooperation will eventually lead to Air Qatrar extending its operation to Liberia.
But the Minister however made it clear that for now, there is not a monetary value in the agreement signed because "the engagement is technically invaluable... [And] it's going to lead into the future."
Instead, what he says the government is doing is to create the basis whereby Qataree investors will come and see Liberia's potential, naming the Qatar Mining Authority and people from hotels and tourism, among others as some of those that have already promised to come here. He says the Liberian Government is going to give Qatar lot of data concerning the potentials that exist here, and then they will make their own strategic decisions.
Picturing Qatar as a small country with a citizens population of around 250,000, while its total population is upward a million, the Liberian Foreign Minister says the country attracts workers with skills from other countries including Nigeria, Ghana and others.
"But there is an arrangement whereby some of your skills can go through an arrangement that respects the laws of both countries. So it's one of the agreements we signed," he said further.

We have 25 years experience in business and telecommunications so we have seen alot of things come and go. Analogue was replaced by digital. Now SIP is poised to replace digital - ISDN in other words.
It will not happen instantly but we have seen SIP gathering momentum over the last 2 or 3 years.
SIP has had a lot of bad press - but that is simply due to the connectivity being used and the resellers either mis-selling it or not having enough understanding on how to get it working properly and reliably.
At the time of updating this page (September 2013) SIP trunks have started to replace ISDN in the mainstream.
What is SIP? SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol. More telecoms jargon!
There are 2 sides to SIP. SIP trunks and SIP extensions. Please see the dedicated pages on this site for a full explanation of SIP trunks and SIP extensions as it is important to have an understanding.
Basically SIP trunks are phone lines delivered on an internet connection. Normally, such an internet connection for small businesses will be a broadband connection (ADSL broadband or preferably Fibre ADSL broadband). As BT Openreach has been improving connectivity and infrastructure over the last few years, SIP now has a real place within the mainstream. This is particularly true with the costs of high-speed connections coming down and 'proper' same-speed-up-and-down internet connections with Service Level Agreements (SLA'S) becoming much more affordable (like FTTC - Fibre to the Cabinet, EFM - Ethernet First Mile and converged connections allowing the same connection to be used for both Voice and Data).
There are many advantages of SIP trunks - please see the dedicated pages on this site - advantages of SIP. SIP extensions are slightly different and at the time of writing this, are not so prevalent.
The main thing to grasp is that SIP is an international standard in telecommunications. A common language, if you will. All the telephone system manufacturers are making sure their telephone system platforms support SIP so you can be sure it is important.
For SIP trunks to work, there are a few critical things that must be considered as follows:
The main reason for businesses being unhappy with SIP is that one of these critical requirements has been ignored by the supplier, sales person or whoever.
The most frequent problem we find is that SIP trunks do not work as they have been bought because it is cheaper than ISDN.
Whilst this may be the case, there are alot of sales people trying to sell SIP trunks as they appear cheaper - whilst it is now cheaper, this is only a recent occurence which is due to the better internet connection speeds being available throughout the UK.
Do not be fooled by sales people who tell you that you can just use your current internet connection for SIP and cancel your ISDN - this simply is not true for the vast majority of small businesses. Even for bigger business, there is likely to be some re-configuration of the main interent connection required.
SIP offers a lot of advantages of ISDN including some excellent Business Continuity features - please see the other pages of this web site for details.
If you would like some personal advice on SIP, please call us on 01892 676000 and ask for Paul, Michael or Nick - or email as at firstname.lastname@example.com. You could chat live with us if you prefer.
We can micro manage all SIP orders including supplying and maintaining your telephone system.

How do they know that stunning before slaughter is more comfortable to the animal? Why the government tries to enter faith matters?
Posted by Amtul Q Farhat
The Jerusalem Post:
Jewish and Muslim ritual slaughter will be illegal in Denmark starting on Monday, by order of Agriculture and Food Minister Dan Jørgensen.
Ritual slaughter, known in Hebrew as shechita, is already banned in Poland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Netherlands attempted to ban shechita, but a deal was brokered, legalizing the practice in 2012.
On Monday, all slaughter that is not preceded by stunning will be forbidden in Denmark, rendering it impossible for ritual slaughter to be carried out according to Shar'ia or Halacha, Danish station TV2 reported on Wednesday.
"Animal rights come before religion," the minister was quoted as saying.
Additional Reading
Islam versus Christianity: Utilitarian purpose of the Islamic teachings
How do they know that stunning before slaughter is more comfortable to the animal? Why the government tries to enter faith matters?
Why do they want to make unlawful what Allah has made lawful
ghulam sarwar – because it's not just a faith matter; it's an animal welfare matter.
Togieda Rademeyer – because not everyone shares your religion, and Denmark is not a muslim state.
Al, the method of slaughter that is practiced by the Jews and the Muslims is the most merciful to the animal.
As Ghulam Sarwar has aptly pointed out – how do animal rights groups know that it does not suffer when being stunned?
Also, the ritualistic slaughtering practiced by the Jews and Muslims is done using a sharp knife which severs the jugular vein and carotid artery without severing the spine. This method makes sure that the animal immediately dies to all intents and purposes since all blood is let from the brain, yet the involuntary movements of the animal are still there due to the spine being still intact and all the blood is let out.
We are not allowed to consume blood and from a health point of view too, it is unhealthy to consume this as we might be ingesting diseases that the animal might be suffering from via the blood.
Also, the meat of an animal slaughtered in this way will stay longer and tastes better.
After all the proponents of stunning still have to keep the carcass for a while to drip as much blood as possible from it's body. And by retaining the blood in the body the germs in it multiply in leaps and bounds!
Are the rights of animals more important than the rights of human beings in these countries? If so, why don't they go vegetarian since it bothers them so much to slaughter them?

I do, too, so love that picture. Woke up this morning with that image in my mind. I might have to hang it in my closet.
Know the Gstreet view??? Wow! Love to see that.
When we were in Beaminster last spring, we stopped at the local pub and got some directions that led us up to Buckham fields, but didn't actually get any closer. I am not quite in the total stalker category! Anyhow I am just happy to know I probably traveled the same road to town.
And I found out later that the time I was in Beaminster, he and Philippa were at a heavy horse riding place in the north. Which made it understandable when a lady in the pub who rides up that way, said she hadn't seen him around for a few days. Their trip was a birthday gift for him from Philippa.

Anyone can help??
Hi all..,
I have an interesting problem. I have install a computer and work well with normal power supply. The problem is onboard sound. When i connect the computer to M2-atx on vehicle... the computer start well and everything work well, but no sound. I'v checked the system and see no sound detected.. , so i disconnect it and try again with normal 220v power supply and the sound works well(detected). after while, i am going back to try again on the vehicle.. and the result.. no sound again? very confused ..
before, i use intenal audigy 2 zs works well on vehicle , but not with onboard sound. BTW, i'm using gigabyte ATX motherboard all in one.
hope someone can solve this problem or give any idea to solve it..
Thank you verymuch...
I am not sure but here is a shot to start.
What is the different between M1 and AC PSU (regardless of wattage).
Does the M1 has all negative (-) power rails (-5V, -12V)? It's probably doesn't has one of the 2 or both that the board is required. I think 1 of the neg power rail is obsolete thus not on M1 PSU.
Hook up the AC PSU and M1 to check them out with a meter.

The AAFP defines physician profiling as an analytic tool that uses epidemiological methods to compare physician practice patterns across various quality of care dimensions (process and clinical outcomes). Cost, service and resource utilization data are dimensions of measuring quality, but should not be used as independent measures of quality care. The ultimate goal is to deliver high quality, evidence-based care to improve clinical outcomes.
It is important to recognize that physician profiling is not intended to be used to address issues of physician competency, including the dimensions of medical knowledge, skills and competence. Such issues should be addressed by the appropriate public and private credentialing bodies that exist for these purposes.
AAFP believes that transparency in health care cost and quality information to physicians, patients, and employers is important and supports such efforts provided that the data aggregation and analysis is consistent with the AAFP Performance Measures Criteria policy. These criteria encompass the framework in which physician profiling data is collected, analyzed, and utilized.
Family physicians must have an opportunity to review payer performance profiles prior to them being publicly reported. Payers must establish and communicate a reasonable, formalized reconsideration process in which physicians can appeal their performance rating/designation(s).
Ideally, any physician profiling system/program should:

AHS and Grande Prairie Regional College team up to convince kids to be tobacco-free
November 18, 2010
GRANDE PRAIRIE – First-year nursing students from Grande Prairie Regional College start visiting local schools this month to teach children about the risks of tobacco use.
Now in its eighth year, Teaming Up for Tobacco-Free Kids aims to positively influence children, Grades 5 to 6, before some begin experimenting with tobacco or using tobacco regularly. The initiative is part of an ongoing partnership program between the college and Alberta Health Services (AHS).
"This is a win-win situation," says Noella Richarde, a tobacco reduction counsellor with AHS Addiction and Mental Health. "On one hand, hundreds of children are receiving information about the harmful effects of tobacco. On the other hand, nursing students are acquiring teaching skills in health care and fulfilling a portion of their curriculum. It would be impossible to reach so many children without this important partnership."
About 4,000 children have received tobacco prevention information since the program started.
Between the fall and spring, 32 nursing students will visit 32 schools in such communities as Valleyview, Rycroft, Hythe, Beaverlodge, Wembley, Savanna, Grovedale and Grande Prairie.
AHS provides the nursing students with lesson plans and other teaching resources.
"Teaming up for Tobacco-Free Kids has been an exciting part of our nursing students' learning since 2003," says Jean Burris, clinical placement co-ordinator for nursing education at the college. "Nursing students see first-hand the importance and impact of health promotion."
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than 3.7 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

London, UK (PRWEB) July 17, 2013
Dermatophytic onychomycosis (DO) is one of the most widespread fungal nail infections. It is not considered to be a life-threatening disease, but it can cause considerable pain and discomfort. At present, DO therapies consist of generics which are quite effective but are not as safe as their brand-name counterparts.
New topical DO therapies are predicted to be introduced in the offing, and they are likely to scale up the total drug treatment rates in the US owing to increasing physicians' awareness of safer and more effective treatment options. Meanwhile, given their advantages such as a shorter duration of treatment, generic therapies represent a challenge to the development of the innovative therapies.
Topical research report "PharmaPoint: Dermatophytic Onychomycosis (DO) - US Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" elaborated by GlobalData has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.

I've been using the pack liner technique for several years now, but still kept my shelter in a stuff sack (oversize). A quick test at home this weekend showed me that packing my shelter loose will offer much more flexibility in packing.Bought the Kindle version of the book -- it's great. It challenges you to think about your choices...
I like this idea, I am going on a short trip next weekend am will do this. The pad and the sleeping bag inside instead of in my compressed roll outside.
When I use an inflatable torso pad what I do is fold it length-wise in half, then line the inside of the pack so that the pad forms a "U" shape from the back down to the bottom of the pack and back up the front. I make sure to leave the inflation valve accessible. Then I pack the pack as usual. When everything is inside I blow into the valve to inflate the pad as much as possible. It tightens the pack up and creates quite a stiff frame, plus provides a soft padding against the back.Mike, just got your book. Looking forward to reading it on my iPad!
Edited by butuki on 06/20/2011 09:24:35 MDT.
I have two of Mike's previous books, "Alan and Mikes Really Cool Backpacking Book," and "Lighten Up," and I must say that they are my two favorite backpacking technique books. Simple, funny and to the point. I read both of them cover to cover. Now I just skim through them and look at the drawings to refresh my memory.I don't always agree with everything, for example the cloud method of packing a sleeping bag didn't work for me, but I haven't found anything better as a guide for ultralight backpacking. You really can't go wrong with any of Mike's books.
Should receive my copy of your book in Wednesday! Can't wait for it!
I just bought Mike Clelland's latest book (the Kindle version for my iPad) after variously enjoying/learning from/disagreeing with/fully agreeing with/being entertained by so many of his posts and articles here. I must say that I find this book to be an absolute gem that's hard to put down. Now I can't wait to get my hands on his two previous books. Thanks for putting together a thoroughly enjoyable read!Michael
Don't forget about Allen & Mike's Really Cool Backcountry Ski Book. One of my personal favorites!
Mike, I have no doubt that sleeping under the stars is great. Many times I have set up the tarp and simply laid down to take a nap only to wake up at midnight to hang the bear bag and dig my bag out. Many nights we get a heavy fog or light rain in the mountans of the north east. Usually about 50/50 I would say. My last trip (8 nights) was typical...rain some part of every day. Well, it IS spring...I misread a storm (actually 3 lightning storms and 1 rain storm) one night and set up the tarp a bit off center. The wind shifted and dampened the bag and shoes. But yes, never sleep in wet cloths. My sleeping cloths are *not* pj's. They are my insulation layer if things get really bad. One extra pair of wool socks, one mid weight smartwool shirt, one mid weight long john pants. If I do not need these for the morning, they get packed with the sleeping bag. These are *always* as dry as is possible. My pants, shirt, and rain jacket may be soaked, but, I will be sleeping comfortably. If needed, I can wear these for a while...they dry farly quickly. After several days of rain, they can get quite damp, but still do the job.
Third paragraph of Tip #95"" the potential for FOWL weather "fowl = birds, particularly chickens and other domestic birds raised for foodfoul = nasty, gross; in relation to weather, stormy, rainy, etc.Though I'll give you that rainy weather while hiking is for the birds, and if you've ever lived near a chicken or turkey farm, you'd have a great argument for claiming that fowl are indeed foul!!!!p.s. Great book! I have both a hard copy, and a copy on my Kindle!*Note from Addie: this has been fixed. No harm, no... uh... fowl. :)

Astrobivying looks mighty nice and easy to emplace, though tempting to bring a star chart and iPod. A bivy w/a taller entrance, yet lighter than the OR advanced bivy to avoid the stuffiness when sealed up would be nice.
Edited by hknewman on 06/22/2011 19:30:08 MDT.
I had a GoLite Utopia tent that was great for stargazing as the door was like a Gothic arch and I could open it to see a lot of night sky. I've seen meteorite showers and satellites. It didn't provide bug protection while open and that door let in rain while getting in and out in a shower, but it could be zipped up in a second if it started raining. I've seen tunnel tent designs that allowed unzipping/rolling back the fly for a star gazing view.
Doing crunches to keep warm in your sleeping bag only works if you're just slightly chilled. I speak from experience that if you wake up shivering in the middle of the night doing a few minutes of crunches 'aint gona' do diddly to warm up / keep you warm until morning.As usual your results will vary. ;)
>> Don't forget about Allen & Mike's Really Cool Backcountry Ski Book. One of my personal favorites!Yeah...I didn't make that connection until a few days ago, and I have a couple Allen and Mike books. And I've been hanging in the forums for months now. Feeling a bit sheepish.
Mike's tips for finding a warmer campsite are the same tips used to avoid condensation in your shelter! They are also useful to find a "stealth" campsite or just one that is more LNT. Unfortunately, in those areas where bark beetles have decimated nearly all of the trees, a meadow site is often the only safe place to be. It should be the last resort, though.

Mike -- I love your cartoons! I got the Kindle version of your book because I'm trying to lighten up in the rest of my life and the zoom function does not work for inline graphics. I'm sure Amazon is getting flack for this and is promising authors they're working on something... but is there any way you could give readers a work-around until Amazon is done? Maybe ask for some identifier in the book to unlock a pdf on your site? Thanks for your time.
Hello - Greats Tips.Regarding tip #99 'wearing all your clothes to bed'. How do you get around your hiking clothes being wet from sweat or rain? I usually carry "pajamas" (light base-layer top/bottoms, hat, gloves, and extra dry socks) because my hiking clothes are always too wet from sweat when I go to bed. Also they are very dirty and wearing dirty clothes in my sleeping bag will dirty the bag (which I believe will eventually reduce its ability to keep me warm). One thing to note is I generally hike 'thru-hiking style' (long miles, hike all day and jump into bed). I would love to reduce my weight by leaving the pajamas at home but I am not convinced thats a good idea (for me). Any additional insights or ideas?
Would you take a base layer anyway? I do! Ditto the hat and socks. I therefore don't consider my base layer (which I wear to bed at night) as extra clothes or "pajamas" but as an additional layer for cold nights and mornings. On a frosty morning, I'll put on my hiking clothes (plus all of the rest of my gear) over the base layer and not remove the base layer until I am ready to start hiking for the day. It has to be really cold (like well below freezing) for me to hike in my base layer, but I definitely need it around camp as well as in the sleeping bag. Like you, I don't want to crawl into my sleeping bag with wet or grubby clothes. Even if I did, though, I'd add the base layer!
Edited by hikinggranny on 06/24/2011 11:33:48 MDT.
I would draw the line at wearing rain gear and I wouldn't wear muddy/dirty pants unless it was really cold. Soft shell pants are great in that case. I do work silkweight long johns into my shoulder season clothing list and I use a Power Stretch hoodie or vest for mid-layer insulation, which all make excellent sleep clothing. The Power Stretch hoodie plus my windshirt is equal to something like a Thermawrap jacket, although it is a bit heavier. I do like the versatility and I get a hood (read fleece beanie) and some hand coverage in the bargain. I've always railed at carrying something like a Thermawrap plus a windshirt--- too many shell layers. The Power Stretch provides highly breathable insulation and it works well in wet conditions. Patagonia Cap4 or R1 would do the same trick. They are excellent in conjunction with a rain shell too. Silkweight long johns and rain pants are the only way to fly in all-day cold rain. You can certainly sleep in insulation layers like light synthetic or down jackets, along with something like a bottom base layer and wind pants. It makes more sense to me to have the option of the insulating clothing and count on that as part of the lower temperature for my sleep system. You can't wear most sleeping bags on the trail or around camp (there are some quilts that can be worn in camp). If you carry a 20F bag for actual 20F sleep plus insulating clothing for the same temps, you have needless duplication and weight--- the combined system could go to much lower temps. You could dial back to a 32F bag and wear your insulation, saving a pound or more. You end up with more trapped air layers and you don't feel the air leaks in your bag with the extra sleep layers on.
the problem with using a lighter bag is how you prepare for a "20F" night ...is that 20F the lowest expected temp? ... or just the "average" ...if its the average you may well end up cold if the temps dip ... especially at the end of the trip when yr bag is losing loft
Those of us who sleep really cold add extra clothing at 25-30*F in that 20*F bag! And what if it does go down to 10*F? I've had that happen several times, and I want to be prepared!

Ducks Rally Past Capitals, 3-2
Lakers PhotosLakers vs. FC Barcelona The Los Angeles Lakers face off with Pau Gasol's former team and European Champions FC Barcelona on October 7, 2010. Nike's House of Hoops In Barcelona and Basketball Clinic Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol go against Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro on a 2-on-2 game Lakers Travel To London Pilots hold up a Lakers flag before the Los Angeles Lakers travel to London at LAX on September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hampus Lindholm scored the game-winner at 14:24 of the third period and the Anaheim Ducks rallied past the Washington Capitals 3-2 Monday night in coach Bruce Boudreau's return to the Verizon Center.
Andrew Cogliano had a goal and an assist, and Saku Koivu added a goal for Anaheim. The Ducks (27-7-5) extended their franchise-best winning streak to nine games and lead the NHL with 58 points.
Lindholm, who added an assist, grabbed a rebound and fired through traffic from the slot for his third goal of the season.
A potential tying goal on a shot by Alex Ovechkin hit the crossbar and landed just outside the line with about three minutes left was reviewed and ruled no goal.
Anaheim's Jonas Hilller had 16 saves.
Mikhail Grabovski and Nicklas Backstrom scored for Washington.
Troy Brouwer added two assists and Philipp Grubauer made 26 saves.
The Ducks rallied to win from a two-goal deficit for the second game in row, while Washington wasted a two-goal lead for the second game in row.
The Capitals managed just eight shots on goal in the final two periods.
Boudreau replaced Glen Hanlon as Washington's coach 21 games into the 2007-08 season and guided the Capitals to four straight Southeast Division titles, including a Presidents' Trophy in 2009-10 when they compiled 121 points.
He was fired after a 12-9-1 start on Nov. 28, 2011, and was hired by Anaheim two days later, replacing Randy Carlyle.
Trailing 2-1 to start the second period, the Ducks failed on three power plays, but got the equalizer with 27 seconds left. Ben Lovejoy carried into the zone and, as he was circling behind the net, shoveled the puck in front to Koivu, who banged it past Grubauer.
The Capitals broke on top at 7:21 of the first period. Grabovski fed Brouwer on a two-on-one, and Brouwer sent the puck back to Grabovski, who deflected it past Hiller for his 11th goal.
Just over four minutes later, Backstrom picked up his ninth goal when his shot bounced off the right post and fell in behind Hiller 11 seconds into a Washington power play.
Backstrom has 15 points in his last seven games.
Anaheim was unable to generate much offense in the period, but they pulled to 2-1 at 17:15 when, during a scramble in front of the net, Cogliano picked up his 10th goal when he backhanded a shot in off Grubauer.

Written Answers - Departmental Staff.

Dáil Eireann Debate
76. Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if, in order to enable the Labour Inspectorate to meet the needs of a changing workforce and the specific difficulties faced by migrant workers he will ensure affirmative action is taken in order that a proportion of the inspectors are from these communities; and if, failing same, he will ensure that a proportion of all new inspectors employed are proficient in foreign languages relevant to where the majority of the migrant workers are from. [23483/06]
Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Killeen): The enforcement of Employment Rights Compliance is primarily based around the legislative provisions governing the statutory records that employers are required to maintain. The generality of investigative work undertaken by Labour Inspectors does not require that they be competent in a variety of languages. Where the need for interpretation services are required, such as in the area of Statement taking or the translation of documents, the Inspectorate has adequate access to a panel of competent individuals who can provide the services necessary in a very broad range of languages.
While I am satisfied that the Labour Inspectorate can, and is, discharging its remit I am equally aware that there are undoubted new and growing challenges arising out of the changing nature of the workforce and economic development. In this regard, I am confident that the proposals for enhancements to the Employment Rights Compliance regime, as agreed with the Social Partners in the new National Agreement, will enable the [221]Labour Inspectorate to manage that evolving remit most effectively.
In the context of other commitments undertaken in the recent Social Partnership talks a major Education and Awareness programme dealing with all aspects of Employment Rights entitlements and obligations will be delivered over the period of the Agreement. While both employers and employees generally will be targeted in the programme a particular feature of this initiative will be a focus on dissemination of Employment Rights information to workers from overseas.
The Employment Rights Information Unit (ERIU) produces a range of materials, e.g. information leaflets and booklets that provide a condensed and simplified version of the large corpus of Employment Rights legislation that is currently on the Statute Books. With particular regard for the needs of workers from overseas the Department has translated key Employment Rights information into nine languages and made this available both in leaflet form and on the Department's website. This information is available in the following languages; Chinese, Czech, English, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Russian. The Employment Rights Information Unit distributes thousands of information leaflets and booklets either directly to applicants, through the nation-wide network of citizen information centres and other outlets.

Subscribe to PsycARTICLES on APA PsycNET® and access all APA journals online
Psychology, Public Policy, and Law ® provides a forum to critically evaluate the contributions of psychology and related disciplines (hereinafter psychology) to public policy and legal issues, and vice versa. It is intended to appeal to law professors, legal professionals, judges, and public policy analysts, as well as psychology researchers and practitioners working at the interface of the three fields.
The journal publishes theoretical and empirical articles that
- critically evaluate the contributions and potential contributions of psychology to public policy and legal issues;
- assess the desirability of different public policy and legal alternatives in light of the scientific knowledge base in psychology;
- articulate research needs that address public policy and legal issues for which there is currently insufficient theoretical and empirical knowledge;
- present empirical work that makes a significant contribution to the application of psychological knowledge to public policy or the law; and
- examine public policy and legal issues relating to the conduct of psychology and related disciplines (e.g., human subjects, protection policies; informed consent procedures).
Although some of these issues may be addressed in articles currently being submitted to traditional law reviews, this publication uniquely provides peer review, scientific and legal input, and editorial guidance from psychologists and lawyers. Through publication in a single forum, it will also focus attention of scholarly, public policy, and legal audiences on such work.

Prior to submission, please carefully read and follow the submission guidelines detailed below. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review.
Psychology, Public Policy, and Law® is now using a software system to screen submitted content for similarity with other published content. The system compares each submitted manuscript against a database of 25+ million scholarly publications, as well as content appearing on the open web.
This allows APA to check submissions for potential overlap with material previously published in scholarly journals (e.g., lifted or republished material). A similarity report will be generated by the system and provided to the Psychology, Public Policy, and Law Editorial office for review immediately upon submission.
Submit manuscripts electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal. Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word or Open Office format.

General correspondence should be directed to the Editor.
The journal encourages authors to write comprehensive pieces, rather than submitting smaller pieces to multiple journals.
Psychology, Public Policy, and Law encourages the submission by scholars of empirical studies, as well as theoretical, conceptual, and critical reviews dealing with psychology and with relevant information derived from related disciplines, law, and policy studies.
Masked Review Policy
This journal has adopted a policy of masked review for all submissions.
Each copy of the manuscript must include a separate title page with the authors' names and affiliations, and these should not appear anywhere else in the manuscript. Footnotes that identify the authors must be typed on a separate page.
Authors must make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.
Please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Manuscript Preparation
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer Code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In Online Supplemental Material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the Text of the Article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Submitting Supplemental Materials
APA can place supplemental materials online, available via the published article in the PsycARTICLES® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
Abstract and Keywords
All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases.
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.

Deeb DOI: 10.1036/ommbid.146 ++ Newly identified loci that influence plasma lipid concentrations include markers in and around the genes encoding lipoprotein lipase (LIPD), hepatic lipase (LIPC), and endothelial lipase (LIPG). These studies involved genome-wide scans of associations with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and triglyceride levels in population samples totaling more than 20,000 individuals. 1,2 Highly significant associations with HDLC were observed, with markers at 11 loci related to lipid metabolism. These polymorphisms were tested subsequently for association with the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). In summary, markers at the CETP, LIPD, LIPC, and LIPG, LCAT, GALNT2, and ABCA1 loci were observed to be associated with HDLC levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on HDLC levels ranged from approximately 1–4 mg/dl per allele. Markers at or near the LDLR, APOB, NCAN, SORT1, and APOE loci were associated with LDLC levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on LDLC levels ranged from approximately 2–9 mg/dl per allele. Markers at or near the LPL, LIPD , APOA1-APOC3-APOA4-APOA5, NCAN, GCKR, ANGPTL3, TRIB1, CILP2, and GALNT2 loci were associated with triglyceride levels. The impact of these common polymorphisms on triglyceride levels ranged from approximately 1–26 mg/dl per allele. Multiple regression models indicated that only about 5–8 percent of the variation in the preceding three lipid parameters was accounted for by the associated alleles. Therefore, much of the heritability of these traits remains unknown. Uncommon alleles with relatively high impact and more common alleles with very low impact may be other contributing gene variants. Epigenetic variation also may have an impact on common variations in phenotype. ++ The alleles associated with lipid concentrations were tested subsequently for association with CAD in case-control studies. Interestingly, the 11 independent variants that were associated with elevated LDLC levels were more common among individuals with CAD. As expected from the small impact of alleles on LDLC levels, the risk estimates for CAD were quite small (~1–1.3 relative risk per allele). No associations of SNPs associated with HDLC and triglyceride were observed to be significantly associated with CAD in these studies. This lack of association may be due in part to the findings that elevated HDLC levels may have either an atherogenic or an antiatheogenic effect because high HDLC levels may result from a block of reverse cholesterol transport and may be associated with small, dense LDL. For example, a LIPC promoter polymorphism that is associated with HDL2C (antiatherogenic) also may have an atherogenic effect because it affects LDL density.4 Interestingly, some of the alleles that were strongly associated with LDLC were not significantly associated with increased risk for CAD, and other alleles that were strongly associated with CAD were not associated with lipid concentrations.1 ++ Consistent with the preceding association of markers at the adipokine angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) with triglyceride levels in the genome-wide studies,1 a subsequent population based resequencing ...

text: The Poltergeist wiki last edited by Guided_By_Tigers on 02/26/13 07:04PM View full history OverviewPoltergeist refers to a supernatural event in which an undetectable demon, monster, or spirit makes contact with the physical world by moving inanimate objects to terrorize or harm their human counterparts. Victims of this phenomena often report seeing flying household objects such as tables, chairs, or knives. But others have reported experiencing poltergeist through sounds of loud banging on doors or the rumble of an earthquake in the middle of the night. Poltergeist is often exemplified in popular culture, especially in horror movies such as Paranormal Activity.Poltergeists in video gamesA poltergeist possessing a chair in SplatterhouseSplatterhouse (1989) - A poltergeist appears as a boss fight in stage 2 of Splattehouse. After Rick Taylor exits the sewer, he enters a room that beings to shake violently. Shortly there after he is attacked by a series of objects controlled by a poltergeist including a chair, 3 knives and a painting. After Rick defeats all of these objects the poltergeist escapes out the window and slams it shut causing the chandelier to fall from the ceiling which can kill Rick if he is under it.Haunting Starring Polterguy - In Haunting Starring Polterguy the player takes control of a poltergeist named Polterguy who invades the house of the Sardini family. The object of the game is to posses inanimate objects around the house and attempt to scare all of the family members out of the house.Geist - In Geist the player plays as a poltergeist named John Raimi. John has not only the ability to posses inanimate objects, but also the ability to posses humans and animals.Megami Tensei - In the Megami Tensei franchise poltergeists commonly appears as low level demons of the Haunt clan, boasting a small, alien-like appearance.
