Anti-Abortion Legislator Encouraged His Mistress To Have … An Abortion
Slutty slut sluts should keep their legs closed if they aren't prepared for an unwanted pregnancy resulting from sex. But the rules are a little different, obviously, if you are a conservative lawmaker. Fret not if you co-sponsored the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, the Life at Conception Act, and numerous other pieces of anti-abortion legislation. Because if it's you who was actually having the sex, all those other rules and morals and condemnations don't apply. Especially if you're married and the person who got pregnant is your mistress. Then abortion is totally okay. Encouraged even!
This is the story of Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a doctor and Tea Party-backed Republican in Tennessee, who is currently running for reelection, and it's based on the transcript obtained by Huffington Post of a 2000 phone call between DesJarlais and his pregnant mistress. (Several sources say he recorded the call himself, which I don't understand.) According to the call's transcript, the woman, whom he met when she came to him as a patient at his medical practice, is asking the supposedly anti-abortion pol to accompany her while she has an abortion.
"You told me you'd have an abortion and now we're getting too far along without one," DesJarlais says. They continue talking and the woman eventually says, "You told me you would go with me and everything." He responds, "I said if I could, I would, didn't I? And I will try. If I can [find] time, you're saying that you will."
Later on in the call, Rep. DesJarlais suggests he and his mistress may need to travel outside of TN to another state to obtain an abortion if the limits are so restricted in their state: "If we need to go to Atlanta or whatever to get this solved and get it over with so we can get on with our lives, then let's do it. … Well, we've got to do something soon. And you've even got to admit that because the clock is ticking right?"
DesJarlais and his wife Susan DesJarlais divorced within a year after the call; in court papers, he confessed to at least four affairs.
I don't expect anyone to be shocked that politicians are hypocrites. DesJarlais isn't the first and the won't be the last. But it enrages me — genuinely fills me with anger in my gut — that he wants to restrict other women from making reproductive choices about their own bodies when he's encouraging his mistress to do that very thing. As blogger Amanda Marcotte put it on Raw Story:
I basically assume all these rich Republican dudes who oppose abortion rights aren't actually against abortion itself. They just assume, correctly, that if abortion is banned, they will have enough money and connections to scare up a discreet abortion provider to cover up their own indiscretions.
To me, this DesJarlais transcript epitomizes two things. One is that some people oppose legal abortion without giving any thought, apparently, to precisely why abortion needs to remain legal and why women need to have access to it.
The other thing this DesJarlais case epitomizes is the utter meaninglessness of family values rhetoric. But in a statement to HuffPost, DesJarlais dismissed the phone call transcript as "desperate personal attacks" by his opponent — as opposed, say, very relevant information that directly contradicts his campaign platform. (Language may not be his strong suit.)
Life is so precious at conception … except when it's the life growing inside your mistress.

Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The wind erosion prediction system (WEPS) requires information about numerous spatial and temporal variables and complex interactions that affect erosion, particulate matter (PM 10 and 2.5) generation, and nutrient loss. Abrasion of clods and crusts, aggregate slaking, and dispersion during wind and water erosion create additional saltation and suspension-size aggregates. The rate of abrasion loss from clods and crust has been related to the aggregate stability and crushing energy. However, the splits among saltation, suspension and PM10/2.5 created by abrasion, slaking or dispersion are not known for range of soils types. The coefficient of breakage, which represents the rate saltation/creep is broken to suspension-size aggregates also varied significantly among the soils. Thus to improve the WEPS, additional experimental data are needed to relate the soil surface characteristic (roughness, moisture content, aging, etc.) to aggregate/particle size distribution of the abraded material to both intrinsic and temporal soil properties for a wide range of soils under different cultivation and amendment treatments. In this study we plan to report (i) the role of intrinsic soil properties, extrinsic conditions and amendments on dry and wet soil aggregate stabilities and PM generation; and (ii) the affect of soil amendments or waste materials (biosolids, PAM and gypsum) on soil surface stabilization for wind erosion control.

Regional hydrology of the Green River-Moab area, northwestern Paradox basin, Utah

AbstractThe Green River-Moab area encompasses about 7,800 square kilometers or about 25 percent of the Paradox basin. The entire Paradox basin is a part of the Colorado Plateaus that is underlain by a thick sequence of evaporite (salt) beds of Pennsylvanian age. The rock units that underlie the area have been grouped into hydrogeologic units based on their water-transmitting ability. Confining beds consist of evaporite beds of mostly salt, and overlying and underlying thick sequences of rocks with minimal permeability; above and below these confining beds are aquifers. The upper Mesozoic sandstone aquifer, probably is the most permeable hydrogeologic unit of the area and is the subject of this investigation. The principal component of groundwater outflow from this aquifer probably is subsurface flow to regional streams (the Green and Colorado Rivers) and is about 100 million cubic meters per year. All other components of outflow are relatively small. The average annual recharge to the aquifer is about 130 million cubic meters, of which about 20 million cubic meters is from local precipitation. For the lower aquifer, all recharge and discharge probably is by subsurface flow and was not estimated. The aquifers are generally isolated from the evaporite beds by the hounding confining beds; as a result, most ground water has little if any contact with the evaporites. Brines are present in the confining beds, but solution of beds of salt probably is very slow in most parts of the area. No brine discharges' have been identified.

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after another burglary in Dorchester.
The latest home targeted was a property in the Holmead Walk area of Poundbury on Sunday night.
It follows a spate of break-ins around the county town.
Inspector Steve Marsh, of Dorchester Police, said in the Holmead Walk incident the homeowners were away at the time and a neighbour noticed that a window had been forced open.
Offenders had made a search of the property but police cannot be certain what was taken until they speak to the owners. Earlier this month police issued a warning to residents to make sure their properties are secure after burglaries in Bridport Road and Wardbrook Street in Poundbury.
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact Dorchester Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2013 (1545 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Every year around this time, I mull over whether to write once again about dry rosés. It's tough to do without sounding like a broken record — they're an underappreciated, food-friendly category of wines that are perfect for the patio and that both red and white wine drinkers tend to enjoy once they taste them.
The trick is getting almost anyone new to taste them in the first place. There seem to be fewer on shelves every year; in 2012, sales in the rosé/blush category made up a paltry three per cent of total wine sales at Manitoba Liquor Marts, and that would include off-dry/medium-sweet mass-produced white Zinfandel like Gallo and Sutter Home. Take a look at your favourite shop and see how many pink wines they stock aside from the California White Zinfandels — odds are it's not many.
Here's a dry rosé refresher. First off, they don't include white Zinfandel; rather, they're wines that don't retain the residual sugar typical of white Zins. Commonly made from red grapes, the juice from these grapes is drained away from the skins after a very short period of contact (about 24 hours or less -- just enough to provide for colour and maybe a touch of tannin) before being fermented dry much in the same way a producer would make white wine.
Rosés are going through a bit of an identity crisis as of late. I see this as being due to the meteoric rise of Moscato and other sweeter wines. As a category, the typically sweet Muscat (a.k.a. Moscato) had the single largest growth dollar-wise in Manitoba Liquor Marts out of red or white wine grapes. It's the new Pinot Grigio.
Many producers of pink wine seem to be jumping on Moscato's sweeter coattails and the popularity of sweeter California red blends; as a result, many rosés that were once dry are creeping up in sugar levels. (Hint: as a rule, anything with 11.5 per cent alcohol or less is probably at least off-dry and perhaps even medium-sweet.)
At this point it feels like anyone that would consider trying dry rosé has already done so. Are there any new converts to be made out there? Do I espouse this type of wine again next spring? We'll see. In the meantime, I'll just keep rooting around town for the best of these often-overlooked gems for my own enjoyment.
JACOB'S CREEK 2012 COOL HARVEST SHIRAZ ROSÉ (South Australia — $13.59, Liquor Marts and beyond)
Pale strawberry in colour, the 11.1 per cent alcohol (slightly lower than most dry wines) is a tip-off this pink wine has a touch of sweetness. Perfume, strawberry candy, maraschino cherry and light orange aromas certainly hint at sweet fruit. Sure enough, it's off-dry on the light-bodied palate, with cherry/strawberry candy flavours as well as mandarin orange and peach juice flavours in there as well. It's a simple, slightly sweet pink wine that trends more toward the White Zinfandel style than it does a dry rosé. 85/100
MISSION HILL 2011 FIVE VINEYARDS ROSÉ (Okanagan Valley, BC — $15.99, Liquor Marts and beyond)
A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Five Vineyards Rosé shows lovely plum, raspberry, watermelon and orange peel notes on the nose. It just barely hints of sweetness on the light-plus bodied palate, with fresh strawberry, tart raspberry and watermelon notes, a splash of acidity and even a hint of tannin from the skins of the red grapes from which it was made. This would be the dry rosé of this bunch that could convert white wine drinkers. 87/100
MELIPAL 2011 MALBEC ROSÉ (Mendoza, Argentina — around $14, private wine stores)
The darkest of the three in colour, the Melipal is fairly complex on the nose, with cherry skin, blackberry, peach and light mineral aromas showing well. It's a medium-bodied, dry rosé, with some nice viscosity on the mouthfeel and ripe, juicy blackberry and strawberry flavours that don't become sweet and/or cloying. The hint of white pepper on the medium finish might come from the skins of the dark, dense Malbec grapes here as well. The Melipal is probably the best-positioned pink wine tasted this week that could convert red wine drinkers. 89/100
BROTTE 2011 LES EGLANTIERS ROSÉ (Tavel, France -- $19.99, Liquor Marts and beyond)
The only wine of the four not bottled under screwcap, the Brotte is a 90-10 blend of Grenache Noir and Syrah. Near as dark in colour as the Melipal, there's a notable perfume/floral note to the nose that makes way for watermelon rind, cherry skin, raspberry and chalky aromas. The driest wine of the bunch, the up-front cherry flavours on this medium-bodied ros© make way for watermelon, tart raspberry and chalky notes on the palate as well as hints of tannin that add to the structure here. It's an elegant but fairly serious ros©. 88/100

Our Secret Identity - The Story Behind Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.
The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. is a real place! We are the storefront of 826NYC, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students, ages 6-18, with their writing skills. Our dedicated tutors, storytellers, and workshop leaders help 2,300 New York students a year. Your purchase goes toward supporting our programs. If you would like to make a direct tax-deductible donation, you can do so here.
If you're in the city or coming to visit you can find us at 372 Fifth Avenue (btw. 5th and 6th Street) in Park Slope, Brooklyn from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 7 days a week. We're conveniently located near the 4th Avenue-9th Street Station of the F, R, and G trains. Try out the Cape Tester, get DeVillainized, and discover what lies beyond the Portal! If you're coming on a weekday and want to make sure our doors are open please call us at (718) 499-9884 before you come--we are staffed by volunteers and sometimes their schedules are as volatile as a can of Anti-Matter.
When ordering from Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co., please keep the following in mind:
- Our staff is small. We can promise delivery in two weeks. Need your package faster? Please e-mail our store manager, Chris, at email@example.com to see what might be possible.
- Because of the nature of our business and our merchandise, we don't accept returns on online orders. We are happy to answer questions before you order.
- We will very very occasionally have to offer a substitution on some orders. In the case a substitution is not acceptable, we will offer a refund or credit for that part of the order.
Why does a writing and literacy nonprofit need superhero supplies?
Back when acclaimed novelist Dave Eggers and educator Ninive Calegari founded the original 826 chapter in San Francisco, the building they chose for their fledgling tutoring center was zoned for retail. To get past this restriction, 826 Valencia (as our original chapter is known) invented the Pirate Supply Store, a seafarer's mercantile that simultaneously evokes San Francisco's history, get the community involved (who doesn't want to check out a Pirate Store?), and raises vital funds for the organization by selling the finest pirate wares.
Here in New York we have superheroes galore and so we created Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. Founded in 2004, we aim to be a one-stop shop for all of the metropolis' folks-with-powers (and those who periodically emulate them).
I hear you're volunteer-staffed - how can I get involved?
We'd love to have you as one of our Superhero Experts.
We have a new form you can fill out, to give us crucial information!
Please e-mail Liz, our volunteer coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com for details on how to get involved. We have shifts every day, as well as maker shifts on Saturdays, during which you help make the capes and cans we sell at the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.!
I have a custom order I'd like to propose to you guys - can you help?
Sure, shoot our store manager Chris an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the past we've created custom capes, custom cans for personal and corporate events, and more. We would love to help you achieve some serious superhero dreams.
Where's my order? It's been a while.
Eek! Disasters happen. Don't hesitate to get in touch. Call us at (718) 499-9884 or e-mail Chris at firstname.lastname@example.com
I dig the concept of your store and would love to discuss a space rental. Do you ever let mere mortals into the Secret Library? Can I get married on the Cape Tester?
Sure! Please contact our space rental expert, Liz for rates and availability.

Back Home!!
Made it back to the good ole US of A. A very long journey, seemed like it took twice as long as going over there. Its so strange to be back. All the signs are readable and everyone speaks english without an accent!! I feel like im going to be very bored soon, but hopefully fun will fall my way. As i was watching the olympics with my mom and dad it hit me that all of that was taking place back where i was 2 days ago and im far far away from it all. It made me really sad. Though i can tell everyone about my adventure i cannot really explain how that place made me feel, or how much i am going to miss it. I was able to upload some more random pictures for you all. I ran out of space to put up my great wall pic so i can compare it to the photoshopped one, so i guess i will have to make my last entry on September first. enjoy:
My fun mule ride up to the top of the Tiger Leaping Gorge

The Diablo is a highly adjustable and breathable "SportVest" that feels more like a piece of apparel than a backpack. The front pouches and pockets offer easy access to items like gels, energy bars, pepper spray, salt capsules, lip balm, gloves, or sunglasses. The pack has 200 cubic inches of space inside, and if that isn't enough for you, you can strap a jacket to the Diablo's rear bungee system.
One of the coolest things about the Diablo is the "Kicker Valve" that comes as part of both the hose and bottle in Ultimate Direction's hydration systems. The Kicker Valve is essentially an adult baby bottle mouthpiece. It could easily be called a nipple or teat, but that goes over as well as calling a hydration reservoir a "bladder"—accurate, but not an association people want to make.
The supple mouthpiece is soft to the teeth and tongue, and effectively delivers fluid at a variable flow rate. When you are done drinking, you merely flick the valve to the side, and it retracts to a closed position that prevents leakage. The only drawback is that its base is wide and relatively heavy, making it hard to fit through some pack exit ports, and giving it the tendency to swing like a pendulum. Fortunately, Ultimate Direction has an easy solution to this latter concern: a retractable tube clip which pinches on to any pack's webbing or pocket and attaches to the tube near the bite valve for fumble-free access.

Linebacker Timmons' stock up with Steelers
James Farrior described a recent hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, and the Steelers' venerable inside linebacker punctuated his play-by-play with a "Pow!"
What he said about Lawrence Timmons, who delivered the jarring hit, proved to be even more of an eyebrow-raiser than Farrior getting animated about a play that happened in a preseason game.
"I really feel like he can be the best defensive player in the league," Farrior said.
Farrior is hardly alone among his teammates in his belief that Timmons stands at the brink of a breakout season.
The push from good to great starts Sunday in Baltimore, where the renewal of arguably the best rivalry in the NFL will feature stellar play from star-studded groups of linebackers.
No 'backer on either team might be more on the rise than Timmons, given the five-year, $50 million contract he signed last month and that Farrior isn't prone to hyperbole.
When told of Farrior's statement, Timmons said in surprise, "Oh really. That's a heck of a statement there."
Indeed it is considering the wealth of defensive talent concentrated in the Steelers' locker room. Among three of the past NFL Defensive Player of the Year winners are strong safety Troy Polamalu (2010) and outside linebacker James Harrison ('08).
There also is outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who has recorded at least 10 sacks in his first three seasons as a starter, joining Harrison as the only players in Steelers' history to accomplish the feat.
Not that Timmons is a newcomer to the hits parties the Steelers' defense throws on a regular basis. He led the Steelers in tackles (149) in 2010, despite fading a bit in the second of the season.
And the 15th overall pick of the 2007 draft, coach Mike Tomlin's first with the Steelers, blew his cover long ago — at least among teammates who marvel at his ability to hit like a falling tree and shadow tight ends and running backs in pass coverage.
"He's got a huge burst to the ball," Polamalu said. "He's very instinctual."
When asked if the 6-foot-1, 234-pound Timmons, who also can play outside linebacker, is the best athlete on the Steelers' defense, Polamalu said, "Probably."
Timmons has taken awhile to find his footing since there are so many established players around him, but that isn't the only reason.
He played just three seasons at Florida State before declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft. Football became his job before he had celebrated even his 21st birthday.
That helps explain why, as Farrior said, "I didn't know what his voice sounded like when he got here. He wasn't saying anything in the meeting room."
Timmons won't get any votes for chattiest player on the team. But he does seem more comfortable in a locker room that is filled with dominant personalities.
"I was 20 years old, so there's quite a difference," Timmons said. "I guess I've grown up some."
Timmons celebrated his 25th birthday in May, and he and Woodley, 26, head the vanguard of young players with which the Steelers plan to one day reload.
Woodley said neither he nor Timmons has played his best football.
"We haven't outright made it to the Pro Bowl yet," said Woodley, who made the Pro Bowl as a reserve in 2009. "This year, hopefully, we'll get that opportunity."
Men in the middle
The Steelers aren't the only team associated with top-shelf linebackers. "The Steelers and the Ravens, I think, are by far the quality linebackers of this league," Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said Thursday. Here's a look at the Ravens' starting linebackers:
OLB — Terrell Suggs: Four-time Pro Bowler has 10 1/2 career sacks against Steelers, his second-most against any opponent.
ILB — Jameel McClain: Finished third on Ravens in tackles last season (91), his first one as a starter.
ILB — Ray Lewis: Has 305 tackles in 25 career games against the Steelers, the most stops he has against any team.
OLB — Jarrett Johnson: Has played in 113 consecutive regular-season games, the longest streak in Ravens' history.

Geometry didn't come easily to Steven Ugalde, an eighth-grader at East Austin College Prep Academy. But somehow, the subject didn't seem so daunting in the form of a game.
An online academic game that Ugalde designed and created, that is.
Ugalde and his classmates at College Prep, a charter middle school for sixth- through eighth-graders, are the only students in the state that participate in Globaloria, a program through which students pursue a digital curriculum along with standard coursework.
Every day, in addition to routine reading, math and science classes, students at College Prep head off to Globaloria class. It's the only school in the country to require all students to take Globaloria every day, as opposed to taking the class as an elective.
The program, run by the New York-based company WorldWide Workshop, is in 80 schools in seven states. The Austin branch is financed by Advanced Micro Devices, which recruited Globaloria to the city in 2009.
Globaloria is a social learning network for students, through which they create profile pages for themselves and the teams with which they work on projects, sharing both interests — favorite foods, favorite technical gadgets — and their work. Like with Facebook, on Globaloria, students can peruse their peers' projects and leave comments. Teachers also have Globaloria pages.
The founder and president of WorldWide Workshop, Idit Harel Caperton, was in Austin last week for the South by Southwest Education Conference. Harel Caperton said Austin is a natural spot for launching a cutting-edge digital curriculum.
A key goal of the program is to establish College Prep as a pipeline to direct students into high-tech fields, she said.
"Austin is becoming such an important hub for the tech industry, the creative industry, the game design industry," Harel Caperton said. "Austin needs to use local people."
In College Prep's computer labs — one of which is decorated with murals of leaders including Martin Luther King Jr. and Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara — students design and create digital games rooted in various academic subjects. The program aims to link technology to every field.
When Ugalde was in sixth grade, he was assigned to create a game that combined math and a social issue. Geometry was tough for him, so he tackled the subject through his game. Ugalde's design featured a student who wanted to clean up his community. As the character picked up, for example, a soda can, the game player would have to calculate the volume of the can, a cylinder. (For the curious, the formula is volume = Pi x radius squared x height.)
"A lot of jobs out there focus on math and technology," said Ugalde, who lives in East Austin. "So these programs help us prepare for the future."
Principal Marisol Rocha said the benefits of the program are already evident. For about 40 percent of her students, English is a second language, she said. Yet Rocha said the school recently ranked near the 90th percentile on the writing part of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills tests. Rocha attributed that success in part to Globaloria, which also encourages students to improve their language skills — games often require writing, especially in blogs — in a fashion students find engaging, she said.
"Globaloria has done amazing things for our campus," she said. "We've seen kids taken to higher cognitive levels on a daily basis."
Harel Caperton said the program provides opportunities that children from disadvantaged East Austin communities might not otherwise have.
"The tech sector is lacking girls, and it's lacking boys and girls from Hispanic, African American, low-income backgrounds," Harel Caperton said. "But there is talent everywhere, and these kids deserve (a Massachusetts Institute of Technology)-style education. This is the MIT style of teaching we bring to these kids."
In addition to designing science- and math-based computer games, some students at College Prep use the program to tackle subjects not typically associated with technology.
Dajasia Hitchcock, an eighth-grader at College Prep, is creating an online game that incorporates Greek mythology and ancient architecture. She said part of her strategy in designing the game was that the product should have a "smart factor" and a "fun factor," so players have an interesting and substantive experience.
"I like it better than learning the traditional way with textbooks," she said of Globaloria. "It's more engaging, and kids now are so into technology. I find it more interesting than book work."

The real-life Soviet-designed RPG-7 has an inertia-triggered-fuse that arms the warhead in mid-flight, well-away from the operator, once the grenade has built up enough momentum. That's why those sub-literate cave-dwelling terrorist savages in the Taliban can carry them around like armfuls of French bread and (unfortunately) not blow themselves up - Russian engineering is legendary for its ruggedness.
Realistik misfires typically involve the fuse *not* arming for whatever reason (i.e. the grenade not traveling far enough to trigger), and landing somewhere as a dud (part of my duties in the military involved working with such UXOs [UneXploded Ordnance]. Also, the geniuses in the brass apparently don't understand how acronyms work.
One soldier, Channing Moss took an RPG to the torso, and it got stuck there in him, unexploded (but with the very scarily real potential to still go off). The docs had to literally perform rocket-surgery to get it out of him (he lived, thank God).
So in Brikwars terms, I'd say it lands as a dud, and then has a coin-flip or die-roll or whatever chance of going off on subsequent turns. A quick (and
stupiddaring) minifig might take the initiative to pick it up and fire it back at the enemy.

Silverdream wrote:It just seems far too reminiscent of how American soldiers would treat enemy Japanese in World War II, Vietnamese in the the Vietnam War and Filipinos in the American-Philippine war. Dehumanizing people is sickening no matter what they've done, and it leads to worse ideas.
Also in my opinion, it goes directly against the spirit of the game to have a realistic brikwar. Then again, it's also in the spirit of the game to go against the rules of the game.
Silverdream wrote:What you're saying makes no sense to me. I'm not saying that as an argument against whatever you're arguing, but I really don't understand. The Taliban dehumanize themselves?

text: "Our vision and strategy are sound, our opportunities and resources are many, our brands are powerful and enduring, and our commitment to greater value creation has never been stronger," Mr. Lumley said. "We remain committed to operating our business to maximize sustainable free cash flow."Fiscal 2013 First Quarter Consolidated Financial Results Spectrum Brands Holdings reported consolidated record net sales of $870.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 2.5 percent compared to $848.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Higher revenues for the Home and Garden and Global Pet Supplies segments, including net sales from the Black Flag®/TAT® brands and FURminator® acquisitions, and revenues from the HHI acquisition more than offset lower net sales for the Global Batteries & Appliances segment, which was primarily due to the planned exit from certain low margin North American small appliances promotional business of nearly $20 million. Excluding the negative foreign exchange impact of $6.0 million, fiscal 2013 first quarter net sales improved 3.2 percent. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of $288.2 million and 33.1 percent, respectively, compared to $284.0 million and 33.5 percent last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven by increased cost of goods sold due to the sale of inventory which was revalued in connection with the HHI acquisition, which more than offset gross profit improvement resulting from the planned and previously announced exit of low margin products in the small appliances category of nearly $20 million. Excluding HHI, the gross profit margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 34.0 percent for Spectrum Brands' legacy business. Spectrum Brands reported a net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.26 diluted loss per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 on average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 51.8 million. The loss was driven by $20.8 million of acquisition and integration costs and $28.8 million of interest expense primarily related to the HHI acquisition. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reported net income of $13.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, on average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 52.6 million. Adjusted for certain items in both years' first quarters, which are presented in Table 3 of this press release, the Company reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.72, a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 4.3 percent compared to $0.69 last year.

Next time you take a walk or a drive, count the number of different bird species you encounter, and then ask yourself how much you know about the feathered creatures which share our suburbs. From today, Peter Hancock will introduce and re-acquaint WAtoday readers with the birds of Perth, starting with a long-time favourite, the cheeky little willy wagtail.
Willy wagtails may be small but they're far from shy and retiring, and they have long held a special place in people's hearts.
Known to the Noongar Aboriginal people as "Chitty Chitty", because of its trademark chatter (the town of Chittering bears its name), this perky and active little creature was said to be a gossip and driven away from important tribal meetings. Children were told not to chase wagtails because they'd be lead into the bush and lost forever.
The Noongar also tell a charming story about how, in the Dreaming, the wagtail was a great hunter who was one day robbed of his catch by the crow and the dingo. They say that the wagtail never forgot this crime, which is why it still angrily attacks crows and dogs much bigger than itself.
With their smart black and white "evening suit" markings, wagtails are common throughout Australia.
In the Perth metro area their numbers declined rapidly in the 1970s, when blanket spraying for argentine ants impacted their food supplies, but they have since made a spectacular comeback and can be seen almost everywhere. With each bird consuming its own bodyweight in insects every day, Perth's army of wagtails helps keep flies and mosquitoes at bay over summer.
Usually encountered alone or in pairs, wagtails are aggressively territorial and can often be seen driving off birds that are much bigger than themselves.
Wagtails like to search for food near the ground, using low branches, fences and even the backs of animals as lookout posts from which to sally forth after flying insects. Their constant tail jerking – from which their name is derived – and the sudden opening of their wings are used to disturb insects, which they snap up in mid air.
Around Perth, wagtails breed from August to mid December, when the cock and hen join forces to build a small, cup-shaped nest of fine grass and shreds of bark, bound together with spiders' web and lined with hair, feathers and soft plant material.
The nest is usually built on a horizontal tree branch, but can sometimes be found on veranda rafters, wires and even clothes hoists.
The two to four eggs are a creamy buff colour spotted with light reddish brown.

I used to think that assigned seating at reception was more work than it's worth and reminded me too much of school.
But now I've changed my mind.
I went to a couple of weddings without assigned tables. Lilac Dude and I were filming a wedding and observed that people were trying to add chairs to tables and some guests were sitting alone. It seemed a little chaotic and frustrating.
Some other reasons that I'll be picking the tables for my guests include:
1. Difficult family members. We all have them and I don't want our sitting alone.
2. Getting up and losing your seat. It's always nice to know you'll have a chair waiting for you if you make a restroom run or need a dancing break.
3. The people you don't know. Those far removed family members that we don't exactly recognize. Table arrangements can give "context clues" as to who those strangers are at your wedding.
Are you assigning tables or seats?

The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), which is funding infrastructure development in the city, has ruled out any extension of the September 30 deadline for the completion of three projects.
JBIC country director M. Hataeda on Tuesday reiterated the organisation's stand that if the projects remained incomplete beyond the deadline, the state government would have to bear the cost of the residual work.
The incomplete projects ' being implemented by the Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC) ' are widening of Canal East Road, broadening of the Maniktala crossing and dereservation of the tram tracks on Rashbehari Avenue and APC Road.
Work on the roads below some of the recently-completed flyovers also remains incomplete. The cost of these projects totals around Rs 25 crore.
HRBC has officially expressed optimism about completing the projects on time, but officials working on them are not so certain.
'It's monsoon now and our engineers are doubtful about meeting the deadline,' admitted an HRBC official.
The Japan bank had communicated the deadline to the government in a letter in April. It also stated that if the projects remained incomplete after September 30, the government would have to mobilise funds on its own to finish them. On Tuesday, after an inspection of the project sites, Hataeda reminded the government of the bank's stand.
'The bank has told us that we will have to finish work at any cost by September 30,' said HRBC vice-chairman Sadhan Banerjee. 'The monsoon has set in, the conditions are adverse, but work is going on in full swing and we shall try to meet the deadline.'
State transport minister Subhas Chakraborty echoed Banerjee: 'The odds are piled against us, but we have asked our engineers to keep the deadline in mind and work accordingly.'
HRBC officials said they hoped they would be spared the embarrassment faced during the construction of the Park Street flyover ' the implementing agency had to twice approach the bank for extension of the deadline.
JBIC officials also visited Writers' Buildings and met chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and urban development minister Asok Bhattacharya to discuss future projects. Officials said the chief minister requested the bank to fully fund the Rs 5,400-crore East-West Metro project, shelved as the government is unable to pay its share of the project funds (Rs 2,400 crore).
The bank officials, it is learnt, made no commitment, though they indicated that they were interested in infrastructure development in the transport sector.

|Home > World News > Target Iraq > Article
The setbacks for the US position came as its strongest ally, Britain, faced a security crisis at London's Heathrow Airport.
About 1500 police and troops were sent to the airport after it was identified as a likely target for imminent attack by al-Qaeda-linked militants with anti-aircraft missiles.
Russia's veto threat comes just a week after Mr Chirac avoided questions about whether France - another of the five permanent members of the Security Council - would take such action to prevent a UN-sanctioned war.
There are doubts about whether Russia would act on its threat, and France has not used its veto since 1956, but both nations are conducting vigorous anti-war campaigns.
French officials yesterday gave all 15 Security Council members the plan designed to prevent war which suggests tripling the number of weapons inspectors and providing them with "security", probably UN peacekeepers. The French may try to turn the plan into a resolution, but this is not thought likely since the US and Britain have already said they would not support it.
The Security Council now awaits the second report by the UN chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, on Iraq's compliance with resolution 1441, due to be delivered at 2.30am Saturday, Sydney time.
Dr Blix's first report was largely negative, and if the next one is similar the US will immediately ask the council to consider a second resolution, aimed at forcibly disarming Saddam Hussein.
Mr Putin, who made his threat to block a second resolution during an interview with French television, also defended France's plan to send peacekeepers to Iraq, instead of troops. "We are trying to find a peaceful solution to a grave international crisis and, I repeat, we will be heard."
He also warned the US not to launch a unilateral strike, saying: "I am convinced that it would be a grave error, outside of international law."
Dr Blix, who met the Prime Minister, John Howard, in New York yesterday, was not convinced that the French plan would be helpful, saying: "One can have more inspectors but we do already mount quite a few inspection teams every day."
Mr Howard said his meeting with Dr Blix had not changed his belief that there was little hope of avoiding war and he rejected any suggestion that Iraq was beginning to comply with its disarmament obligations.
He was en route to Heathrow Airport yesterday amid reports of a new threat by Osama bin Laden of reprisals against the US and its allies over any Iraq war.

Winners of the 2012 Trowbridge in Bloom competition were presented with their trophies and certificates on Tuesday night.
A ceremony at Trowbridge Civic Centre was split into sections for the junior and adult competitions, with dozens of winners and runners-up being rewarded for their work.
Jennifer Polledri, chairman of Trowbridge in Bloom, said: "It has been a pleasure to see so many more adults and children participating in the very diverse competitions this year and the enjoyment they have received from taking part."
Also receiving prizes were the two winners of the contest's short story competition, in the under-16 and adult categories.
Kirsty McCaffery, 13, of Trowbridge, took first place in the younger section.
The St Laurence School pupil said: "I like writing. I saw the competition in the newspaper and I found out about it at school as well."
Of her tale, she said: "It's about a family in Victorian times. I was happy when I won."
The adult section winner was Ashley Wickes, 50, of The Croft in Trowbridge.
She said: "I'm part of the Friends of Biss Meadows group and came to the awards last year and the short story competition was fantastic.
"I saw it in the Wiltshire Times. It was the first time I'd written in years. I just thought I'd give it a go and I was totally gobsmacked when I got the email to say I'd won."
Both were awarded certificates and Waterstones book tokens.

The Bourne Awsomeatum
Looks like a 4th instalment of the Bourne movie series is moving forward! Universal has finally brought in a writer to take the series to the next level. George Nolfi has been set to write the script. He was the co-writer of the third Bourne film.
As you may or may not know Robert Ludlum wrote the first three novels that the films are based off of. This next film will not be based on a book because it does not exist. This next movie will be an original story. I hope this whole aspect of the project doesn't screw it up.
Director Paul Greengrass and actor Matt Damon are both attached to this new film.
I am a huge fan of this franchise the movies have only gotten better and better. I can't help but think that this next film will be better than the last.

Allentown therapist stretches to help clients, students feel better
Tasso Spanos is 81 years old, but he said he can't retire, be sick or die.
"Too many people depend on me," he said after teaching a "Feeling Better" stretching class last week in St. Stephen's Church in Sewickley.
A certified myofascial trigger point myotherapist, Spanos has been teaching the class for more than 30 years, based on techniques he learned from Dr. Janet Travell, former personal physician for the late President John F. Kennedy, and Bonnie Prudden, one of the first exercise instructors on television in the 1950s and '60s and author of many pain reduction, myotherapy and fitness books.
Spanos of Allentown, formerly of Glen Osborne, said the techniques, which involve manipulating muscle (myo) trigger points and connecting tissues (fascial), as well as specific stretches, helped him, too.
He was able to bounce back more quickly than doctors thought possible from a nearly fatal heat stroke in Greece 20 years ago, where he watched others die of the same ailment right in front of him, he said.
The techniques helped him again after he suffered a stroke two years ago while working on a patient.
At one point, he went to stretch class as a student in his walker and kept working on the stretches until he was again able to teach the class himself.
The techniques have helped his wife, the Rev. Becky Spanos, 75, a semi-retired Anglican minister who suffers from fibromyalgia, which causes long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues.
It was Spanos' desire to help her that got him interested in the therapy after seeing Prudden on tour with her book, "Pain Erasure: The Bonnie Prudden Way."
Sue Neff of Glen Osborne has been attending Spanos' classes for more than 20 years. She said the moves — featuring more than 100 stretches in a chair, standing up and on the floor — keep her moving and help control her Parkinson's disease.
Spanos said with the trigger point therapy, he can make people feel better in as little as 2 minutes, and they will continue to feel better if they keep doing the stretches after. The stretches alone will help, he said, but it takes longer to feel relief.
Jane Miller of Avalon, who teaches the class every Friday, said Spanos has helped her to avoid surgery and recover from several injuries.
"After less than 5 minutes of pressing the muscles of the neck and shoulders with his fingertips, I could actually turn my head far enough to see him sitting behind me," she said.
Spanos said his St. Stephen's students are among more than 7,000 people he has helped over the years in his office in the city's South Side neighborhood; through more than 500 home visits in and around Sewickley; summer classes in Chautauqua Institute in New York; and at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He has treated more than 30 Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tasso, who grew up in Braddock, contributed to the book "Clinical Mastery in the Treatment of Myofasical Pain," by editors Lucy Whyte Ferguson and Dr. Robert Gerwin; made a "Feeling Better" stretching video and several YouTube stretching videos; and has presented lectures all over the country.
Once the owner of Opus One, former audio store he ran on Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh for 30 years, Spanos has shown his techniques on local television shows.
He and Richard Finn of Penn Hills co-founded the former Pittsburgh School of Pain Management, which is now included in the Institute of Medical Careers in Penn Hills. Spanos said his main goal with his patients is to help "fix 'em up," and "do it quickly."

HEALTH chiefs have called for a minimum price per alcohol unit after figures have revealed 325 people in Warrington have died from booze-related causes in the past nine years.
Statistics also found 40 per cent of those deaths were during the last three years alone.
Warrington's director of public health Dr Rita Robertson has said it is 'extremely important' people are aware of how much they are drinking and believes a minimum price would 'target the heavy drinking problem which is responsible for most of the deaths'.
She added: "You don't have to be an alcoholic to drink yourself to death.
"Many people simply do not realise the risk of drinking too much alcohol.
"The majority of people who die from alcohol are not alcoholics but they have drunk too much alcohol over a long period of time."
Dr Robertson said that experts are concerned about the connection between alcohol becoming cheaper and more easily available and people drinking more.
She added: "The recommended limits are lower than many people think - two to three units for a woman and three to four units a day for men.
"It's easy to forget that a pint of premium lager can easily be three units and a large glass of wine can be more than three units so it is all too easy to put your health at serious risk."
Clr Pat Wright, the council's executive board member for health and wellbeing, added alcohol is now sold at 'pocket money prices' and research has proved 'the cheaper alcohol is, the more people drink'.
She added: "We are calling on the government to help save lives by introducing a minimum unit price of 50p per unit.
"This would put up the price of very strong cheap alcohol, which is mostly consumed by heavy problem drinkers, without penalising moderate drinkers who would only pay about 5p more per week."

Spring is here and Easter has almost arrived! This year 11 of my favorite bloggers got together to share the Easter Version of Crafts on a Budget Hop! We are given a budget of no more than $10 and are challenged to create an Easter craft using items from the dollar store or dollar section of other local stores.
Moss covered crafts are all the rage for Spring decorating. When I picked up this coco liner in the spring plant section of the Dollar Tree Store I thought what a great alternative to moss! What a perfect color for a natural bunny craft. It was then I knew it would make a cute festive door hanger. Here is how I made this easy Coco Liner Easter Bunny Wreath~
Easter Bunny Wreath
- 3 Coco plant liners, $1
- 2 Styrofoam wreaths, 9.8 inch & 7.8 inch, $2
- Pink Burlap Ribbon, $1
- Hot glue & gun
- Various spring stems, $1
- Sharp scissors
- Straight pins, $1
- 2 wood skewers or toothpicks, $1
- 1 Clover 4.5 inch Jumbo Pom Pom Maker
- Spinrite Patons Cobbles Yarn, Winter White
Small foam circle shown above not used.
Gently pull and stretch the molded coco liner to make it lay as flat as possible.
Place one of your wreaths in the center of the liner and trim the liner to fit over the edges for the size of your wreath.
Cut triangle slits out of the liner every 4 inches going around the outside of the foam wreath.
Hot glue the liner to the wreath. Glue slowly around the wreath allowing the glue to thoroughly dry before going on to the next section. I used straight pins to hold the liner in place and snug to the foam while the glue dried. Repeat with the other wreath.
Glue the two wreaths together and to stabilize them, place two skewers or toothpicks pushed through both wreaths. Add glue to the picks and between the liners. Let it dry.
Pull and stretch the third coco liner out flat. Cut the liner in half with sharp scissors. Take one-half of the liner, leaving the straight cut side alone and cut a rounded outer ear side out of the liner. Using this ear as a guide, lay it on top of the other half of the liner and cut an exact copy of the ear out. Trim the rears down to suit your wreath size. Hot glue them to the back and top of the smaller wreath.
Add a strip of pink burlap ribbon and tie in a bow. Add a few spring picks and hot glue them to the back of the bow.
Now you can easily buy a pom pom for the tail or simply leave it off. I wanted a big fluffy tail, so I used my Jumbo Clover 4.5 inch Pom Maker to make one. See my detailed instructions on how to use the Clover Pom Pom Maker post. Hot glue the tail on the bottom of the large wreath. Add a hanger on the back by gluing a small piece of twine or yarn between the ears. And that's it!
He's so fun and I really liked working with the coco liner. It is so easy to mold and stretch into and around objects. I am totally going to use it from now on as an alternative to moss.
What would you cover with coco liner? I'd love to know what your ideas would be!
Did you like this post? If so I'd love it if you would share it!

I was thinking to myself that having to download only the compressed
xml files might be a win (bandwidth-wise) over going though all of the
headers like good old yum 2.0 did, at least in the short term, and for
a repository that doesn't change too much.
Since you need all filelists to look at dependencies, the data is
just real big. True, the rpm deps are real nice working to have the
correct packages installed.
You only need all file lists for a general solution to file dependencies.
In practice the number of needed paths is orders of magnitude smaller than all
possible file paths, there really are very few file dependencies in Fedora packaging.
So the problem is one of redulcing all possible file paths, down to something
more manageable.
Yum has a heuristic that filters by path that sensibly reduces the set of all paths
down to specific paths that are likely needed. The rule is cheap to implement
and gets almost all of the benefits of reducing the file set.
Slightly better would be to extract the list of file dependencies explcitly
mentioned in dependencies when the repository metadata is created,
and add exactly that "known needed" file path set to the repository metadata.
That is a (slightly) harder implementation that noone has gotten around to doing,
mostly because everyone is so busy redesigning yum and up2date that noone has
time to code.
Luckily the rule based filtering has almost all of the benefit already.
One thing I always wondered: Given you only install from one repositoryHave at, patches cheerfully accepted.
(or maybe several ones where then data is collected for all of them;-)
and you create a special dep graph. Can you then use a reduced dep info
to know that packages all update to available rpm packages in the newest
repository and you can then use the graph to look at deps instead of
computing that again on the client side?

Scorpio Film Releasing, New England's most prolific feature film production company, has Normal, its 14th feature film, in the works and today sent over the film's trailer.
Helmed by multiple award-winning director Richard Griffin (Exhumed) from a screenplay by acclaimed playwright Lenny Schwartz (Subject 62, The Brothers Marx), Normal is a dark psychological drama that represents the start of a new direction in Scorpio Film Releasing's already decade-long prevalence in indie film.
Normal stars Michael Reed, Sarah Nicklin, Nathaniel Sylva, Elyssa Baldassarri, Shannon Hartman, Samantha Acampora, Rich Tretheway, David Wilson, Monica Saviolakis, Patrick Keefe, Ben Royer, Christopher Ferreira, and Michael Thurber. The film will be released later in 2013.
Jim (Reed), a lonely, troubled young man who works as an apartment superintendent, is replaying his tortured past. Through a series of flashbacks and interactions with the mysterious tenants he is surrounded by, we learn not only his dark secrets but also what it means to be normal. The answers he finds in his journey will shatter not only his perceptions of the past but also his fragile grip on reality.
NORMAL – THE OFFICIAL TRAILER from Richard Griffin on Vimeo.

When colored pants became a trend I remember thinking there was no way I could pull off such a bold move. Well I quickly got over that assumption and currently own three pairs of colored denim and hopefully still counting. Now there is another trend on the forefront: graphic pants. I have to admit, I do feel more comfortable trying this new style after wearing red pants all summer (you cannot get bolder than fire engine red pants). I spotted this Fashionista wearing ridiculously cute skull pants that looked comfortable with her sheer blouse. She let the graphics stand out by wearing a neutral blouse and sandals.
Give skull graphics a shot with this pair of leggings from Urban Outfitters. Paired with an oversized sweater and boots and this look is ready for fall. NASTY GAL has tons of graphic pants to choose from like this black and white floral denim, which can easily be transitioned from day to night with the right accessories. If you are feeling a little daring, then try their Mermaid Skinny Jeans which feature a detailed print of the ocean. J.Crew also adopted the new trend for their fall collection and showed customers how to make graphic pants tailored and ready for the office. Their Café Capri in Abstract Diamond is definitely something to swoon over. The trendsetting brand executes beautiful styling by pairing the pants with a green stripe tee in their monthly catalog.
As you can see, graphic pants are on trend alert. Therefore, finding a pair to fit your style should not be a problem. If you are a bit hesitant practice wearing a bold graphic tee or a bright pair of colored denim — it worked for me!
