FEW would give the last-placed Port Kembla Blacks much chance of beating the top of the table Warilla-Lake South on Saturday, but then again, who really expected the Gorillas to lose last week?
While it was likely the Gorillas unbeaten run was going to come to an end at some stage, the Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles were hardly at the top of the list of likely candidates to do it.
But some late heroics got the Eagles over the line for a 24-22 win last week, proving the Gorillas can definitely be beaten.
Having the monkey off their back may well be a good thing for the Gorillas, who can turn their focus back on winning games, rather than wonder when their first loss would come.
Port Kembla have just had a week off with the bye, but won't take a lot of confidence from their last hit out, where they were beaten 58-22 by the Berry Magpies.
Perhaps they will be inspired by the Eagles heroics last week, but the Gorillas will be keen to avoid two massive upsets in as many weeks and should regroup and get a win.

extremely friendly but not invasive. Brilliant breakfast and the room was perfect; I will recommend the Fraoch to everyone
Good location close to the centre with good bus access. Very helpful owner. Great breakfasts. Good accommodation.
The whole stay was excellent. Nothing
Good location close to the centre with good bus access. Very helpful owner. Great breakfasts. Good accommodation.
Everything was perfect, starting with the room and ending with breakfast. A very nicely decorated interior, an extremely pleasant and friendly host and a convenient location. Get the traditional dish for breakfast - there will be no need for lunch later ;-) And to some other reviewers complaining about the location - oh come on. The bus stop is on the other side of the road and it takes 10 minutes to get to the centre on foot. There are also some nice (and affordable) restaurants, as well as Tesco Express nearby when you get hungry.
The room was excellent although the location in the basement was not the best one.Good staff and location. Excellent breakfast.
Fraoch House has exceeded our expectation. owner Garath was nothing short of welcoming, the room was spacious, modern and tastefully decorated, it was very clean. Breakfast was delicious with array of fresh fruits, cereal, breads and full hot breakfast. Location was very good with bus stop in front of the establishment or just up the road with numerous buses into town. I would recommend Froach to anyone staying in Edinburgh. Nothing.
I liked best the confort and the calm during the night and the delicious breakfast!!!
extremely friendly but not invasive. Brilliant breakfast and the room was perfect; I will recommend the Fraoch to everyone
Everything - the service was outstanding. Beautyfull rooms, great beds and very bathrooms. Nope - everything perfect
The hospitality of the owner, the rooms were immaculate, very comfortable, tastefully decorated and everything you needed for your stay ie hairdryer.
It's a perfect place to be. Very friendly staff, wonderfull room in a origional (1900) setting. Alltogether a very pleasant stay, for a small price you get lost of comfort.
A very modern B&B, exceptionally clean and modern. We stayed in a triple room, the beds were very comfortable and our ensuite bathroom was excellent. The breakfast was delicious! A menu was given to us the night before for us to choose what we would like and an array of cereals and fruit were available while we waited for our cooked food. The hosts were delightful and I would definitely not hesitate in staying there again!
The owners really love what they do and it shows! Lovely decor, really comfortable bed and quiet room. Attention to detail. Delicious breakfasts. Great for an Edinburgh vacation: 20 min walk to the center of town (Waverly Station).
Great staff, comfortable rooms (even the small single ones), and the bathroom I had down the hall was spacious and nice, so it didn't matter that it wasn't en suite. The bed was comfortable, and there were lots of comfy blankets on the bed. Breakfast was delicious, with French pressed coffee and great scrambled eggs. Also a nice little buffet for those who don't want warm breakfast. The owners are very friendly and flexible as well. I highly recommend this B&B. The location took a little getting used to. Lovely neighborhood - but a 8-10 GBP cab ride, and not immediately accessible by bus. About 35 min from Waverly station on foot. Still, it's only about a 15-20 min walk to the Old Town, and the Meadows are right nearby.

Penguin Group (USA), one of the nation's largest publishers, is temporarily banning the availability of its new e-books to libraries and Amazon's online lending program as well as prohibiting libraries from loaning existing Penguin e-books on their shelves to Kindle owners.
In a statement issued by Penguin, the reason for the suspension is "due to new concerns about the security of our digital editions, we find it necessary to delay the availability of our new titles in the digital format while we resolve these concerns with our business partners."
Although Penguin has not yet cited its specific "security concerns", many speculate there is concern regarding copyright and piracy issues. Industry sources say Amazon might have been offering Penguin e-books for free on Kindle despite the fact the publisher declined to participate in the program.
OverDrive Working With Penguin To Find Solution
OverDrive, which powers Amazon's Kindle Library Lending Service, recently offered information regarding Penguin's statement.
According to OverDrive spokesperson Brianne Carlon, "OverDrive was instructed to suspend availability of new Penguin e-Book titles from our library catalog and disable 'Get for Kindle' functionality for all Penguin e-Books. We are actively working with Penguin on this issue and are hopeful Penguin will agree to restore access to their new titles and Kindle availability as soon as possible."
While Penguin's decision to restore its e-books to libraries is pending further discussion, the publisher did reinforce its commitment to business partners, and reassured readers that physical copies of new books will still be available in libraries across the globe.

Queen's Film Theatre
That's not all. As part of its commitment to instilling film at the centre of cultural life in Northern Ireland, the Queen's Film Theatre will often host filmmakers to introduce their works, sometimes even stopping for a Q&A afterwards. The cinema also engages with schools and community groups to enhance learning alongside the national curriculum.
Another thing that sets the Queen's Film Theatre apart from the competition is its bar. Relax before or after your showing in comfortable seating with a selection of whiskies, locally brewed or bottled beers, and cocktails, as well as a range of tasty snacks. And if you do skip the popcorn and feel your stomach rumbling after the film, the cinema has deals with several good restaurants in the local area that offer discounted meals and drinks when presented with a valid Queen's Film Theatre ticket.

DAYTON, OHIO-Glenn C. Hamilton, M.D., M.S.M., professor and chair of emergency medicine at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, has been named one of three McCann Scholars. The Joy McCann Foundation has awarded $150,000 to each recipient in recognition of their success as an educator and mentor.
The "no strings attached" award is the only national award by a private foundation designed to recognize outstanding mentors in medicine, nursing, and science. It is given to recognize the importance of the scholars' work, which according to Joy McCann Culverhouse, foundation chair, often goes unheralded and unrewarded. "All the inspiring doctors I've known had mentors who helped shape their careers," said Culverhouse. "Our 2006 awardees are outstanding people, fine teachers, and caring physicians who have nurtured and influenced many careers."
Dr. Hamilton has been chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine for more than 24 years and is the most senior chair in the Emergency Medicine specialty in the United States. "Dr. Hamilton has had an extraordinary and multifaceted impact on the specialty of emergency medicine," says Howard M. Part, M.D., and dean of the Boonshoft School of Medicine. "I am delighted that he has received this prestigious national recognition."
Hamilton has contributed to the training of more than 2,000 medical students and 300 resident physicians in emergency medicine. His educational accomplishments have had national impact, including serving as editor for three emergency medicine textbooks. This impact has been recognized by the American College of Emergency Physicians, which awarded him the 2005 "Outstanding Contribution in Education Award."
More than 20 years ago, Hamilton founded a consultation service for developing residency training programs in emergency medicine. Through this effort, more than 70 residencies in emergency medicine in allopathic medical schools have been developed. He also established the consultation service used by medical schools interested in developing academic departments of emergency medicine. He is a co-founder of the Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine, established in 1989, with 18 academic departments represented. Today, the group has grown to 73 departments in the nation's allopathic medical schools.
Hamilton is also co-founder and inaugural board member of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. This society now serves more than 6,000 faculty and residents in emergency medicine. Hamilton currently serves as its president, and he is the past recipient of the society's two highest awards.
Hamilton holds a B.S. and an M.D., from the University of Michigan. He completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, and an emergency medicine residency at Denver General Hospital/St. Anthony Hospital Systems in Denver. He holds a Masters of Science in Management from Stanford University Graduate School of Business in San Francisco, and served a fellowship as administrative fellow at Kettering Medical Center.
"The Joy McCann Foundation strongly believes that our scholars and professors are serving the future by acting as role models for today's students. The foundation is proud to invest in the work of these professionals who literally invest themselves in the success of others," says Mrs. Culverhouse. The other two recipients of the award are: Drs. Donald Coffey of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Sherine Gabriel of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine.

Ozone standards threaten American workers and economy
WASHINGTON, July 19, 2011 – EPA's proposed new ozone standards would damage America's economy and eliminate millions of jobs, API President and CEO Jack Gerard said at a Business Roundtable press conference today. He said the standards would harm businesses and consumers, especially energy producers and energy consumers.
"The President has a chance to show he's serious about his stated goal of improving regulations and creating jobs," said API President and CEO Jack Gerard. "This action is discretionary – no law or court is compelling action – and would clearly harm job creation and economic growth, all at a time when air quality continues to improve under the existing standards."
Gerard noted that if the proposed new standards were imposed, it may be impossible in many places to expand a refinery or drill for more oil and natural gas. He said the cost of producing energy could increase and that Americans might be forced to use gasoline and diesel products that are costlier to manufacture.
Gerard strongly urged the agency to continue to review the science and consider the need to issue more stringent standards in the normal review cycle. If EPA goes ahead with the new standards now instead, it could "sabotage our nascent but still anemic recovery and depress economic and job growth for decades," Gerard concluded.
API represents more than 470 oil and natural gas companies, leaders of a technology-driven industry that supplies most of America's energy, supports 9.2 million U.S. jobs and 7.7 percent of the U.S. economy, delivers more than $86 million a day in revenue to our government, and, since 2000, has invested more than $2 trillion in U.S. capital projects to advance all forms of energy, including alternatives.

Technology is moving so fast...
Anyway, I thought that was both neat and frightening at the same time. Reminded me a bit of the Brian Herbert (son of Frank) Dune series. The technology to create cymeks could exist in the not entirely distant future.
Staying in the technology zone – I saw this new Dell model – it looks pretty cool and compact (I'm into "clean", "compact"). I liked the concept – a fold up desktop (a little mobile). Single unit (less cables, hate cables, have way too many cables). Integrated keyboard – which has pro's and con's. On one hand – the keyboard fits the machine like a glove. On the other hand, what if you don't like the keyboard. I'm picky about my keyboard (since I spend so much quality time with it). One thing I didn't like about the keyboard was the location (and actually the use of) the touch pad. First, I'm not a fan of touch pads and second, I'm a lefty. If you are going to put a touch pad on the keyboard – it better be under my thumbs – else I want it on the other side! When I use my laptop for more than a couple of minutes – I have to stick my USB travel mouse in, the touch pad drives me nuts quickly.
Actually – why don't we see any desktop keyboards with the eraser mouse? I've looked high and low for one – if I could stop having to reach for that stupid mouse all of the time, I could save lots of time.
Anyone know of regular desktop keyboards that have the feature of a laptop?
It would be nice to have both the eraser mouse and buttons on the keyboard as well as a regular mouse.
Pointing to this blog again – I was reminded of my own "I wish I had done that" story. That blog links to Bessemer Venture Partners and a page of theirs entitled "anti-portfolio". You can read my "wish I did that" story here. Missed opportunities…
And some funny stories here about "corporate lessons". Reminds me of ROT (rules of thumb) for some reason.. I liked lessons 4 and 5 best.

Nice floor at a good price
By Loretta
from Haverhill MA
Best Uses
We love the floor. It feels great when you walk on it. It feels 'soft' but is a hard floor. There were no problems with the installation except that my private installer had trouble using his nail gun because it was splitting the wood so he had to rent another gun. It all worked out in the end. The floor looks great and we got it at a good price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Fanatics torture this word evil, as if God were the author of evil, that is, of sin; but it is very obvious how ridiculously they abuse this passage of the Prophet. This is sufficiently explained by the contrast, the parts of which must agree with each other; for he contrasts "peace" with "evil," that is, with afflictions, wars, and other adverse occurrences. If he contrasted "righteousness" with "evil," there would be some plausibility in their reasonings, but this is a manifest contrast of things that are opposite to each other. Consequently, we ought not to reject the ordinary distinction, that God is the author of the "evil" of punishment, but not of the "evil" of guilt."
John Calvin, Calvin's Commentaries (22 vols.), edited by Henry Beveridge, translated by Christopher Fetherstone (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1993), 8:430.

Six People You Often Find in Bars
Vodka has been enjoyed since at least the early Middle Ages, and is well known as one of the world's most popular spirits. Its versatility in mixing and high alcohol content have made it extremely popular in cocktails, and it is still widely enjoyed 'neat' (straight up) in much of Eastern and Northern Europe.
Vodka also has a long history of use as medicine, having been sold by druggists to cure everything from infertility to colic and the plague. While some of those historic promoters were half-cocked, it's true that vodka has a wide range of potential uses beyond serving as a relaxer and social lubricant.
Why would you want to do anything else with vodka but drink it? It is widely available, effective and less toxic than many of the chemical alternatives you might use for these tasks.
For many, one of the hazards of enjoying the great outdoors is an encounter with poison ivy, oak or sumac. It can lead to a nasty, long-lasting rash. Unfortunately, poison ivy is spreading, thanks to global warming.
To avoid the uncomfortable reaction, immediately pour vodka on skin that has come into contact with poison ivy, and the alcohol will wash away the itchy culprit, urushiol oil. Some have said that the vodka needs to be at least 100 proof to work.
Others have argued that straight rubbing alcohol works better, but we're guessing you may not have that as handy if you are on your average picnic.

It's certainly conceivable that a good number of Americans will want to watch Ann Romney's speech at the GOP convention on Monday night. But CBS execs seem to think that more will be interested in a Hawaii Five-O rerun. NBC and ABC will also pass on broadcasting the speech, opting to show episodes of Grimm and Castle instead. The New York Times explained that the networks "reap considerable advertising dollars even from summer reruns."

Cape Town - Two more suspects were arrested in connection with the attack on Khayelitsha mother Thembela Mjuleni, who was choked and left for dead after her eyes were gouged out in Mandela Park at the weekend.
Wednesday's arrest of two men aged 25 and 23 brought to three the number of people taken into custody for the attack on the mother of an 8-year-old girl. The first suspect had been under police guard in hospital after angry residents assaulted him. Mjuleni's cellphone and earrings were allegedly found in his house. The 28-year-old man was discharged from hospital on Wednesday.
Police spokesman Andre Traut said the three men would appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate's Court today on charges of robbery and attempted murder.
Mjuleni was attacked on Saturday night on her way from her friend's house in Mandela Park.
Friends and neighbours gathered at Mjuleni's home on Wednesday night to pray and to console her family. They described the attack as inhuman and said they were saddened that it took place in their area.
Mjuleni's brother, Thabo, said she remained in hospital and her condition had improved.
"We are just hoping that she recovers fast and comes back home."

Leona Lewis
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Some people wait a life time, for a vegetable like this."
"She's a firestarter, twisted firestarter."
Leona Louise Lewis (born 3 April 1985) is a Horse that somehow appeared as a contestant in the third series of the British television series Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice, which she eventually won.
edit Troubled early life
Lewis' life has been quite
uneventful a rollercoaster ride of fun, fun, fun and the occasional gun shot. She grew up in the jungle of Hackney, London where her and her family members were observed by Steven Hawkin and a bunch of other scientists. From the early age of two years, the young star in the making was following in her family's honorable footsteps, shoplifting and fire starting in all alleyways the 'hood.
It was then that she discovered the world of singing when reading her stolen mag. The world of
drugs and alcohol abuse song and dance became an inspiration to Leona as she then aimed to become just like Whitney Houston.
edit Many years later and entering the X Factor
Finally after trying to become famous via giving music producers sexual favors, Lewis gave into the fact that she had a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle. One grand day however she saw the light, speculation has it that Simon asked for a night of fun to be allowed entrance into the X Factor Live finals.
When there, she shot through each round, whittling her way down to the final, final!!! She was only up against some reject scouser however so she took the crown of winner effortlessly, before having it stole by the Liverpudlian due to his classic tendancy to steal (just like all Liverpudlians), but she pick pocketed it back because she's a bad pussy cockney tea-leaf, just like Oliver, and went on to released her debut single "A vegetable like this".
Her voice sounds like a cat trying to escape from a fire, probably a fire she started.
edit Album release
After the success of her debut single and all of the selling records it broke, Leona went away for a while to work on her masterpiece. Finally she returned to the world of the carnivore with her album "Carrot". It was painfully obvious however that after the young lady had reached number one in every country in every continent in every bloody world, that she was not interested in the singing but rather the chance to convert everyone to vegetarians.
edit Voice
Lewis' voice is so extreme, she has often pitted herself against Dyson hoovers and other loud household appliances. One rumor which Kelly Clarkson created and was very much present until recently is that she is currently brainwashed by Whitney Houston who is desperately trying to relive her wild youth and NOT marry Bobby this time round. Upon this being dispelled however, the public learned that Leona is in fact the most powerful source for noise on the planet. Disney world have even hired her on several occasions to scream at the pit of her lungs around the park at various locations, just so it may sound like thousands of young school girls are enjoying themselves.
edit Rivalry
Because of the many wonders of the young lady's voice, it has attracted the unwanted attention of a reoccurring enemy. These stem from the likes of Mariah Carey, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown and the infamous Kelly Clarkson. Lewis' rivalry with Kelly has stemmed back from her slight alteration of "A Texan Like this", changing it into "A vegetable Like this". The outrage that Clarkson displayed was as follows, "I dislike the sky... OK!" which relates in no way but she found this to be adequate enough at the time.
Since the start of this ever growing rivalry, Leona and Kelly have met three times in mortal combat, the judges being Ron Paul, the late Heath Ledger and lord Voldermort himself. The results of these battles have since been inconclusive, meaning that they must again return for the final heat off sometime in the near future, providing that Simon will stop chasing Lewis... sexually that is.
edit Controversy
Leona's single "Bleeding Love" was the centre of a whirlwind of controversy as it focused on Leona's personal problems with her un-born child and her ex-lover Les Dawson. Rumours began to circulate and it was soon common knowledge that Leona Lewis was pregnant with Les Dawson's child. The rumours of pregnancy were true, however Les Dawson didn't want the child and Leona was forced to have an abortion in order to keep Les by her side, hence the title "Bleeding Love". Further facts suggest that, immediately after the abortion, Les Dawson dislocated his humoungous jaw (believed to be that of a blue whale) and swallowed the fetus whole. He said "It slipped down my throat like a dream. The best meal I've had in years."
In 2007, Lewis admitted that she does indeed believe that salad causes your teeth to turn into alcohol. The papers used this story as a front page article for over 1 week. The head lines spanned from "INSANE LEWIS!" to "She seems to be making sense..." and finally to "She was right!"
Leona Lewis was once a member of the KKK. In a statement, Lewis said "I just love irony!".
The public has since found out that it was in fact Leona who assumed the role of Big Brother in 1984, using her serenading voice to entrance the public. She has of course denied all accusations as of this date.
Leon Jackson (The Scottish boy) has been reported of acts of jealously due to Lewis' fame that he has attempted to seduce her and take pictures of her naked body on 4 separate occasions. To this day he tells the press that each and every time he found Leona's location Louis Walsh would be there instead, urging the Scot to fulfill his previous plans for Leona but to him instead. Apparently Louis has even dressed as Leona on two of those occasions, proving unsuccessful even then.
Leona's love for French toast is bordering on obsessive says the Telegraph.
She is currently dating Simon Cowell, David Bowie, Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Brown and Kelly Clarskon.

Additional fish stocked due to concern rainy spring may have sent the trout downstream
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources stocked the Vermillion River with 1,000 more rainbow trout Friday, June 21.
The DNR had already stocked the river with 1,000 fish earlier this spring. However, all the rain this past month raised concerns that the fish may have floated downstream, said DNR spokesman Harlan Hiemstra.
With a surplus of rainbow fish at the hatchery in Lanesboro, the DNR decided to add a second stock to the Vermillion River, which is an unusual move to stock an area twice in one season.
"I think it's a good place to stock them and provide good opportunities for families and kids to fish," Hiemstra said.
The Vermillion River is known as a great trout fishing spot near the Twin Cities because it has clean, cold water that trout need to flourish.
In other areas the DNR stocks, recreational anglers have to catch and release. In Farmington, people can keep the fish. Anglers 16 and older do need a fishing license, which are available online at dnr.state.mn.us/licenses.
The public access points in Farmington are at the Rambling River Park and the Kuchera Entrance. Additional Dakota County public access points are also available on the DNR website.

Multicultural publishers expect to be judged on their quality as well as diversity, finds Judith Napier
Nirmal Hirani knows the value of reading. She recalls that, growing up India, there may not always have been enough money for new clothes, but there was always plenty to spend on books. 'My mother would suggest we buy extra food, perhaps, but my father would say books gave you a fat brain, they opened your eyes!'
So when she needed a name for her new publishing company, she chose Mansi, the Sanskrit for 'inner eye', expressing her ambition of producing multicultural books that give children a greater appreciation of their place in the world.
She shares with other publishers of multicultural books the conviction that more needs to be done to introduce innovative titles into the market. Mansi's philosophy is to encourage new talent by publishing authors twice only - once they are established, they must move on - and encouraging new illustrators.
Mansi's first publication, written by Nirmal herself and illustrated by Melanie Crawford, is The Story of Ram and Sita, the Origin of Diwali (9.99). Her child's nursery teacher inspired her to write it after she helped with the nursery's Diwali celebrations.
Mansi has a further eight books in the pipeline, among them folktales from America's Pueblo Indians, from Jordan, and from England. Nirmal is emphatic that there are wonderful stories everywhere. 'It is a great shame that multicultural tends to mean Caribbean or Indian, not European or English. There are tales everywhere that need to be heard.'
Nirmal's experience of seeking out books for her own children echoes that of the Letterbox Library in London. This workers' co-op was set up 20 years ago by two mothers to provide multicultural and non-sexist children's books - an area they identified as neglected by mainstream publishers. Letterbox sources, selects and sells books to schools, early years settings and individuals worldwide.
Letterbox's Maikim Stern says, 'It is so important that children see that books reflect the society we live in, and see other children from other cultures. It is a matter of countering stereotypes.'
Mantra Publishing, too, was started by three mothers 18 years ago who wanted books about the realities of ethnic minorities living in a multicultural Britain. Mishti Chatterji says, 'Everywhere it was blond, blue-eyed children. Some publishers were so-called multicultural, but the pictures were of white faces coloured in. There was no awareness of skin tone, and we were very clear that we wanted to do books that our children could relate to.'
Mantra started publishing folktales, then moved on to dual-language books (now in 25 languages). They have since added non-fiction titles, accompanying cassettes, CD-Roms, toys, games and wall friezes.
Their first books were written by themselves. Later they started commissioning authors, although one of their most popular titles, Lima's Red Hot Chilli, written by David Mills and illustrated by Derek Brazell (x.xx) arrived by unsolicited manuscript.
Patricia Billings, co-director with husband Sedat Turhan of Milet Publishing, stresses that quality is paramount. Her husband moved to the UK from Turkey 20 years ago. He started importing Turkish books and realised there was a need for quality - rather than simply 'worthy' - multicultural titles. Patricia says, 'It seemed that the ones on offer then didn't have to meet the same standards because they were bilingual. We wanted to make them so they met the same standards of production as regular English-only children's books.'
Milet publishes bilingually in more than 20 languages. The demand is often defined by war zones, and consequent influx of refugees, so that Kurdish, Albanian and Farsi are increasingly important.
To cater for younger children, Milet bought the rights to the likes of Elmer the Elephant. Patricia says, 'There weren't many pre-school books around, and Elmer is a nice message because he's multicoloured, not grey. We wanted books that were fun and lively and relatively simple, books with really good messages about community and individuality.'

GLAAD Publishes First Scorecard of LGBT Characters in Movies
Want to know just how much or how little influence the LGBT community is having on the films you see or don't see?
On Wednesday, LGBT advocate GLAAD published the Studio Responsibility Index which actually calculates the "quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in films released by six major motion picture studios during the 2012 calendar year":
Out of the 101 film releases by the major studios in the 2012 calendar year, only 14 films contained characters identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual. There were no films containing transgender characters. [...]
In the SRI, GLAAD also introduced the "Vito Russo Test," which was inspired by the Bechdel Test and named after GLAAD co-founder and celebrated film historian Vito Russo. These criteria allow anyone to analyze how LGBT characters are represented in a film or fictional work.
- The film contains a character that is identifiably lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender.
- That character must not be solely or predominantly defined by their sexual orientation or gender identity (i.e. the character is made up of the same sort of unique character traits commonly used to differentiate straight characters).
- The LGBT character must be tied into the plot in such a way that their removal would have a significant effect.
Less than half (6) of these 14 major studio films that featured an LGB character pass the "Vito Russo Test."
You've heard of political correctness? We've now entered the era of LGBT correctness.
Those interested in the entire report should go here.

|Bridges to Collaboration
One of the most frequently discussed topics at this year's Faculty Summit concerned the ability of faculty to teach and work with colleagues across existing college/school/departmental units. Faculty identified allocation of instructional credit, barriers across the units, absence of incentives, and difficulty in obtaining multiple course evaluation forms for a single course as problems preventing faculty from team teaching courses.
In consideration of these problems, the Office of the Provost is implementing Bridges to Collaboration, a one-semester pilot program scheduled for Spring 2010 aimed at facilitating cross-unit instruction. Faculty may begin applying for the program on July 1, 2009. Final applications are due on August 15, 2009.
To support this pilot, the Office of the Provost has earmarked $35,000, of which ten awards of $3,500 each will be made available campus-wide as replacement resources to contributing units, that is, units allowing their faculty to teach in other units.
For consideration in the pilot, faculty must submit a proposal containing:
The proposal package (syllabus, cover memo, approval from unit directors/chairs) must be submitted to the Dean(s) by August 15, 2009. The Dean(s) will in turn submit the proposal with notice of approval to the relevant Vice Provost by August 22, 2009 for consideration.
Applications for undergraduate courses are to be sent to Vice Provost Phyllis Peres for review and approval. Graduate course applications should be sent to Vice Provost Rosemary wander. Approval or denial of completed proposals will be made by the relevant Vice Provost based on merit and resources available. Questions regarding this program should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Finally, in response to the aforementioned problem regarding course evaluation forms, we have arranged with the Office of the Registrar to have course evaluation forms available for both instructors in a team taught course.
We hope this provides some additional flexibility and a chance for creative initiatives next year. Should faculty members find the program successful, we can explore possible continuation in AY 2010-2011.

The Daily Grind provides daily match-up advice based on my every-morning waiver wire search. I welcome advice to help make this column more effective. Ownership rates are from Yahoo!
Today's grind
It's one of those Mondays where hardly anybody plays.
I found Chris Capuano to start today in the THT League (apparently there aren't any believers there), but he's 85 percent owned.
Garrett Richards is widely available, but don't use him unless you have to.
Raul Ibanez's ownership rate has crept back down to 35 percent. He faces Randall Delgado today.
Pickings are a bit slim beyond that. Daniel Nava and Rajai Davis are both under-owned, but both are dealing with day-to-day injuries and should be considered questionable for this evening.
Tomorrow's grind
Wei-Yin Chen against the Pirates feels pretty safe to me. He's just 19 percent owned.
Alex Cobb has a reasonably friendly match-up against the Mets.
It's doubtful they are available, but Max Scherzer (Cubs) and Clay Buchholz (Marlins) have good match-ups.
The Phillies vs. Twins game features Kyle Kendrick and Nick Blackburn. Stack up on as many left-handed hitters as possible from both clubs. Some names include Ryan Doumit, Ben Revere and Jim Thome.
Andruw Jones should be let off the bench to tame Mike Minor.
Davis might need a blanket recommendation. His teammate Colby Rasmus is under 50 percent owned and should be widely carried.
Reliever watch
Brian Fuentes blew another save on Sunday, losing his grip on the closer's role in the process. A committee of Fuentes, Grant Balfour and Ryan Cook is expected to be used, with Cook given a shot at the role. Sean Doolittle lurks in the wings. He struck out five in two innings yesterday and as a bonus, I played against him frequently back in the glory days.
Aroldis Chapman blew the save and took the loss yesterday. He came on in the eighth with inherited base runners. His role is safe for now, although the Reds really ought to be looking into stretching him out if they want to hold on to their narrow division lead (currently tied with Pittsburgh).
Rafael Soriano blew his first save of the season just in time to stir up some controversy. David Robertson is expected to return from the disabled list sometime this week. Robertson was originally handed the role when Mariano Rivera hit the shelf, but the Yankees ought to be fairly indifferent between Robertson and Soriano.
Alfredo Aceves blew the save Sunday, his fourth of the season. He's been stable since the beginning of the year, so he has a little bit of leeway. Besides which, the Sox bullpen lacks an obvious replacement at the moment.
Yesterday's results
That was last week.

Gaining customers and community support can be tough for any new business or eatery.
But for the owners of Backyard Taco, 1524 University Drive, in Mesa, getting customers was admittedly the easy part.
In 2005, owners Ruben Alvarez and Maricella Reyes, natives of Mazatlan, Mexico, began making tacos for their family and friends in their own backyard. Word of their "tacos al carbon" spread throughout Mesa and eventually became a local hit. Members of the community flocked to their taco parties or "taquizas," as Alvarez called them, to sample their authentic Mazatlan fare.
Alvarez recalled times where customers of his original backyard taquizas would wait hours just to get a tortilla-full of his signature mesquite grilled food.
"I went to Backyard Taco when the food was still being cooked in a backyard," said Rylee Clark a 22-year-old local who has been a fan of the tacos for over a year.
"There was a line all the way out the back gate and down to the street. The food was great and I couldn't believe there was a family doing all this and serving so many people," Clark said.
Steve Beck, a commercial real estate broker, took notice of the crowd the taquizas drew and approached Alvarez about a potential business plan to open up a restaurant where Alvarez and Reyes could make and sell their food for the community that so strongly supported them.
Alvarez debated the plan for some time but after receiving notice from the city that he would no longer be able to sell tacos out of his backyard, Alvarez decided to take on the venture with Beck and another partner, Tyler Robinson, and began planning to open the first Backyard Taco on University Drive in between Stapley Drive and Gilbert Road.
"It was a bank owned property full of graffiti and bullet holes with vagrants living in it, always getting called on by the neighbors," Beck said, "we went in and basically redid everything from top to bottom within the property."
Alvarez, who worked construction for more than 20 years, played a key role in the remodeling process, assisting in everything from painting the building to laying the concrete in the parking lot, a feat that took him only three days.
In less than a year, with the help of Robinson and Beck families, Alvarez and Reyes turned a rundown, undesirable property in a lackluster neighborhood into a sight worthy of praise.
The City of Mesa itself acknowledged the work put into the redesign of building and awarded Backyard Taco with its Exceptional Properties recognition for this quarter.
Since it opening in December of 2012, the community response has been very positive, Alvarez said.
Alvarez is very proud of himself, his family, and his partners and the way they been able to help his community by providing a clean safe establishment for other businesses to model themselves after.
Alvarez spoke highly of his food as well. "We keep the menu simple and fresh. No freezers and no preservatives."
According to Alvarez, the secret to the authentic taste of his tacos is the indoor mesquite grill he uses to cook everything from the chicken and steak to the tostada and gordita shells.
The term "tacos al carbon" on the sign above the building refers to the use of the mesquite grill to cook the meat, a process Alvares learned while living in Mazatlan, located on the western coast of mainland Mexico, across the
"These are authentic street tacos like the one's you would find in Mazatlan," said Alvarez.
In the short time Backyard Taco has been open it has generated a significant fan base and continues to gain popularity within the community. Alvarez said he and his partners hope to carry on the success by possibly opening up a second location, and give the rest of the East Valley a true taste of Mazatlan.

Eugene Robinson questions President Obama's expanded drone warfare, characterized by summary executions conducted in countries with which the U.S. is not at war and by "collateral damage," the killing of innocent civilians. Either way, he argues that the rationale for such strikes is morally ambiguous–and predicts that historians will view the drone war as a "great moral failure":
Even if the intelligence agents and military officers who operate the drones have perfect knowledge — meaning they are absolutely certain that the target is a dangerous enemy — and fire the drones' missiles with perfect accuracy, this amounts to summary execution. Is such killing morally defensible?
...Under what theory...does the president order drone strikes in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, with which we are not at war? It would seem the definition of "enemy" is, basically, "someone the United States decides to target."
...How many civilians have been killed in drone strikes? The Obama administration refuses to say but insists that the toll, whatever it may be, is declining because of stricter rules on choosing targets.
In Afghanistan, it is hard to attempt a count because there is an actual war going on, with no agreement on who qualifies as a civilian. The Los Angeles Times wrote recently about a Sept. 7 drone strike in Kunar Province. U.S. officials told the paper that 11 people died, most of them Taliban fighters; grieving local residents, however, insisted that 14 civilians had been killed. When does a village cease being a village and become a "Taliban stronghold"? When we say so, apparently.
The nonpartisan New America Foundation, which has attempted to keep a running tally, says drone strikes under both presidents have killed between 258 and 307 civilians in Pakistan, and between 66 and 68 in Yemen. Those numbers may seem small, but each victim was a human being who posed no threat to the United States or its interests — in some cases a child who was here one minute, full of laughter and life's promise, and gone the next.

Back in May of this year, YouTube started the process of sharing the wealth and paying some of their top users for their unique video content. More specifically, 100 high profile partners were accepted into the YouTube Partner Program and were able to make some decent money (reportedly thousands per month). YouTube has decide to expand the program and now more people will be able to haul away some Google cash. Unfortunately it's only open to those in the United States and Canada, and there is an application process that you'd have to go through and not everybody will get accepted. The good news though, is that those who weren't a part of the program previously but receive many view on their videos will be able to start earning some cash.
In the announcement, YouTube says "we feel it's important to reward our most dedicated community members: those who are regularly uploading original content to YouTube." So if you regularly upload content and you've built a "significant audience," there's a chance that you'll be accepted into the program. There's no word on whether or not this will be extended to lower-traffic users in the future, but they have said that they will open it up to other markets in various countries soon.
Here's a quick rundown on what you need to do to qualify for the YouTube partnership:
- You create original videos suitable for online streaming
- You own the copyrights and distribution rights for all audio and video content that you upload — no exceptions
- You regularly upload videos that are viewed by thousands of YouTube users
- And as mentioned, you live in the United States or Canada
The whole application can be found here, and it just requires pretty general information. Given that Revver and Metacafe have offered similar programs for quite some time, it's about time that YouTube gets this program movin'! It took them an awfully long time to get the program started, and quite a bit to open it up to more people. I'm curious how much money participants will earn, however, YouTube makes no mention of the specifics.
Thanks for the tip S!

According to a report by GSMA, there are more than 7.5 billion SIM connections in the world. This is not mere a number but a reflection in the reality of a few remarkable possibilities of flawlessly bridging up a gap in knowledge, building social awareness and succeeding towards a developed world.
As mobile devices are becoming cheaper each day and a debate around making the internet available for free, we believe that the day is not far behind when social entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations will be able to reach out to a cross-section of the global population more easily. With more than 1 billion people around the globe accessing information and relentlessly networking via smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, nonprofits need to harness the power of mobile technology to balance their mission-driven experiences.
Securing a Bright Future with Mobile Education
Most social issues crop up due to lack of education amongst people. As mobile phones know no boundaries, we can bring education to those who live in remote areas where access to education is next to impossible. From online schools to online libraries, a mobile phone is the modern online university for everyone with curiosity to learn and grow intellectually. Non profits who promote learning and intellectual development should preach and focus on this emerging new technology to bring the world closer to social development.
Empowering People with Mobile Tools
Non profits and charitable organizations have started to soak up technological innovations and are able to innovate on somewhat different approaches to societal problems. Have you joined the race?
A variety of mobile applications are being designed to help people overcome social challenges. One of the most significant mobile applications on similar lines is the one that analyses the air quality in a particular area. The mobile user has to click a picture of the sky and send it to a center where a group of scientists examine the luminance of sky in the picture. They send an accurate report to the mobile user after some time.
This mobile application is allowing people to monitor air pollution in their neighbourhood. Getting rid of air pollution is now in the hands of the people. The only thing which is needed is a kick-start and an opportunity to give people the right tools and information to create a lasting societal change.
Reaching out to remote locations
Having a mobile phone means that a person in a remote location can seek an advice from a doctor in no time and thus have access to advanced and also many other medical choices, something which may be unavailable in their locality. GSMA estimates that worldwide there are now 7.5 billion mobile connections with 3.7 billion unique subscribers. This potential for two-way communication is changing the face of community and social development.
Mobile technology is important tools that can be used to stimulate and accelerate social development effectively. It can be used, not only to provide services to people living in the remotest locations and help facilitate more choices but also to promote desired changes in the community through fast and effective information dissemination.
Getting the message heard
It is well known that people of all generations use smart phones.
Days are gone when the cell phones were only used for communication and that too only by the affluent urban people. 49% of people amongst the smart phone users reach out for their cell phones before getting off the bed in the morning and 56% people accepted that forgetting or losing their smart phone is worse than losing their cash, credit cards or ID.
The younger ones start with browsing search engines for automotive, apparel and beauty updates, the latest music and games on their smartphone, the elderly on the other side, browse the latest news, health updates or business related information via mails and messages. Well, it is definitely good news for the social entrepreneurs who want to get their message heard.
With the move toward open data, many non-profit organizations are creating mobile applications (apps) which are based on the needs of the non-profit's members and can provide the end-user with the information they need. Besides, these apps help in other ways too, such as make a donation or respond to an invitation to a petition or campaign.
In fact marketing is now more effective on mobile phones. Average mobile campaign response rates are typically 12 – 15% as compared to direct mail which averages 2 – 3% and some companies are seeing mobile response rates as high as 60%+! (Thank you to Dipanwita das for providing research data)
Outsourcing the technology can cut operating costs
The mobile technology will help most of the non-profits to reduce their cost of operations, where internet-based data, applications and related services all can be accessed through smart phones. Nonprofits may not need a full-time IT department instead they can opt for an offsite network management. Tech-savvy non-profit organizations can minimize the time and resources they spend on information technology (IT) infrastructure by allocating a larger portion of their IT budget to "cloud" technology. Outsourcing the technology will cause less interference in service, enhanced network security and better access to IT services.
Gathering social views through mobile
The social networking sites have come up as great medium to express and share our views by sharing photos and videos. According to a study by Pew Internet in 2013, 73 percent of the U.S. population uses at least one social site. Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp are one of the most popular sites -forsocial networking. Now you don't have to wait to open your laptop to get logged into these sites anymore. All these can be easily accessed using smart phone in a few seconds.
Skype allows video chatting.
Facebook connects us with people, family and friends and is also used for sharing ads.
Twitter enables us share short messages called tweets. These tweets are even viewed and written by the celebrities.
Instagram is loved by many for its pictures and video sharing feature.
WhatsApp is an instant messaging network.
To capture the social views of millions of social media users is easier now with the help of mobile web technology. It only requires the social organizations in question to be active on the social media channels.

Flat Side — Flat StrapJul 1st, 2013 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Tow Tip
"'Flat side – flat strap.' Whether it's a box trailer, pills box truck, camper, etc., if the casualty has flat sides, use a flat strap," says industry educator Tom Luciano. "On a round casualty, such as a tanker, use round, endless-loop straps. On flat surfaces, flat straps better disperse weight."

VICTORIA'S workplace safety watchdog has quietly shifted its prosecuting focus away from small and medium-sized companies - where most workplace deaths and serious injuries occur - to large businesses.
The shift comes as WorkSafe's successful prosecutions have dipped to 100 from a record high of 134 three years ago. Total fines against errant companies in the same period were $1.7 million down.
Only one in two WorkSafe investigations last financial year led to a prosecution or enforcement, the lowest rate in at least four years.
Unions, grieving families and workplace safety experts fear a growing timidity in WorkSafe's approach to prosecution after an overhaul of its legal team in 2010 saw the organisation lose experienced occupational health and safety lawyers. Sources within WorkSafe say the body needs better-quality investigators.
Louisa Giandinoto, who lost her father in a workplace accident, yesterday spent Father's Day visiting his grave. She believes WorkSafe let her family down by not prosecuting the owner-builder from whose house roof John Giandinoto fell two years ago.
She understands her father shared responsibility for safety, but says he had little control over the site's overall safety.
Amid their grief, Mr Giandinoto's wife and daughters did not order an autopsy. So WorkSafe, which told The Age it had conducted a comprehensive investigation, told the family there was no evidence that he fell because of a safety issue - it could have been a heart attack.
''He lost his life because of an unsafe site,'' said Ms Giandinoto, 32. ''I feel that the owner-builder should still have responsibility for that. Unfortunately people take shortcuts to get the work done. No one thinks of the consequences or the loss that grieving families are left to deal with.''
A senior source within WorkSafe told The Age: ''We are scared to do the job, we are so risk averse. We are unable to do the job the way we did it a few years ago.''
In a statement to The Age, WorkSafe publicly revealed its new focus on larger companies. A spokesman said WorkSafe was now taking on ''larger, better-resourced businesses who have breached the law''.
WorkSafe sources say they believe big fines against large firms will send a strong message to all companies. Larger firms have no excuse to skimp on workplace safety, they say.
WorkSafe's own figures show the highest rates of serious-injury claims are in medium-sized businesses that employ between 100 to 500 people and smaller businesses that employ between 20 and 100 people. On injury rates Victoria has the safest workplaces in the country, but fatalities at work jumped last financial year to 24, a 25 per cent increase from the previous year.
WorkSafe's shift has taken big industry by surprise and infuriated unions, which believe the move will send a poor message to small and medium-sized businesses. The Australian Industry Group's Victorian branch director, Tim Piper, said the same rigour should be applied to all businesses.
Steve Dargavel, the Victorian secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, said the shift was outrageous and came on top of an increasingly risk-averse approach to prosecution. ''There are an awful lot of workers being killed and maimed for life in small to medium enterprises.''
Frank Cosentino spent Father's Day without his son Joey, who died last year when his van blew up in a gas explosion. Mr Cosentino is still waiting on WorkSafe to decide whether to prosecute, almost nine months after the accident. Joey worked as a refrigerator mechanic for a small business.
''This is all about keeping people safe. When you lose a life, it doesn't matter if they are going to work for a small business or a large business. They should be safe,'' he said.
An Age analysis of WorkSafe's prosecution rate revealed the organisation has been double-counting successful prosecutions. WorkSafe includes committals in its list of successful prosecutions, even though a person or company may be cleared at trial. Because of lags in the justice system, this also means Worksafe has been counting a committal to trial one year, then the result at trial the next year, thereby counting the one prosecution twice.
It also counts enforceable undertakings - such as agreements by companies to improve safety equipment - even when all charges have been withdrawn by WorkSafe and no prosecution has occurred.
When taking committals and enforceable undertakings out of its figures, WorkSafe actually conducted only 90 successful prosecutions last year, despite its target of 150. That was up from 64 in the year 2010-11 (compared to its official figure of 76) but down from 116 in 2009-10 (Worksafe's figure: 134).
Labor's spokesman for WorkSafe, Robin Scott, called on the minister, Gordon Rich-Phillips, to make WorkSafe give a clear explanation of its prosecution rates.
Phillip Priest, QC, an experienced occupational health and safety law barrister in prosecution and defence, said WorkSafe's attitude to prosecution had changed for the better.
''They will not prosecute a case unless there's evidence to support it,'' he said.

Here are some of today's phone conversations I enjoyed reading or viewing on the web, along with some brief thoughts:
Find Android apps easier and pay later (GigaOm) — Cole Brodman, CTO of T-Mo, offered up some deets on how the carrier will make it easier to find apps in the Android Market. Look for a T-Mobile Channel in the Market and integrated carrier billing to pay for app purchases via your phone bill. This kind of differentiation and customization could help T-Mobile, and even Android in general. I still think it can be a challenge to wade through 100,000 apps.
WinMo 6.5 upgrade for the Samsung Jack (PhoneScoop) — Another handset gets the upgrade treatment. Jack owners can grab the free upgrad, which will wipe personal data, directly from Samsung. Aside from the base operating system, the update includes an AT&T Wi-Fi app and Vlingo for voice commands.
webOS about to get faster? (EverythingPre) — Expectations are rising that the next webOS update will bring a bit more speed to the Pre, and presumably the Pixi, which is due out soon. I'd agree with some assessments — with similar hardware to the iPhone, the Pre seems slower by comparison in some respects. I wouldn't call my Pre slow, but there are functions that are far quicker on my iPhone 3GS. I suspect we'll see an update in the next few weeks, so we'll see if performance is improved.

dealcorn - Saturday, March 03, 2012 - linkClearly a bold move ripe with opportunity that cuts many ways. That SeaMicro is promiscuous, serving many masters, has strong appeal to AMD as mating SeaMicro ip with ARM cores just sounds right. From a design perspective, SeaMicro is already working with AMD cores and a saleable product(s) is(are) close. That is why this may be a dumb idea.
Today the playing field is level regarding SeaMicro ip and Intel does not want them with their current, ahem, business model. If Intel bought them and then shut off ip access to competitors those wonderful guys and gals in the the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department would have a party day. Intel's sole competitive option is to build their own but why bother as long as the playing field is level. Rory just spent $300 odd million to tell Intel it is important that they obsolete the SeaMicro product rapidly. Rory has the reputation he executes well. I wonder how this will work out for him once he gets past the immediate short term benefits. Reply

Watch Isaiah Rashad's 'Ronnie Drake' Video Featuring SZA
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
He may be a star in the making as the freshest face in rap's biggest crew, TDE, but Isaiah Rashad hasn't forgot his roots just yet.
The Chattanooga, Tenn., rapper returns to his humble beginnings in the video for his warming collaboration with fellow label newbie SZA, 'Ronnie Drake.'
In Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman's sharp, black-and-white film, 21-year-old Isaiah introduces us to his neighborhood, homies and his beloved beat-up Nissan Silvia, which he told us all about in Myspace's 'ONETWOWATCH' feature. Showing that he's really got love for his peoples, Rashad even lets us meet his family.
'Ronnie Drake' provides an early preview of Isaiah's upcoming debut mixtape, 'Cilvia' — a nod to his aforementioned whip — which is set to drop sometime next month. His first official single, 'I Shot You Down,' will also appear on the project. An Isaiah Rashad/Kendrick Lamar collaboration would be nice, too (hint, hint).

SENIOR Labour councillors have opposed calls for an inquiry into the Lendal Bridge controversy.
Opposition Liberal Democrat councillors had argued that a watchdog committee should look into the trial, but council leader James Alexander and Cllr Dave Merrett, who was the cabinet member responsible for the trial, objected.
Their actions have led to claims the party is refusing to learn lessons from the fiasco and is standing in the way of democratic accountability, but Labour said a separate transport commission it was creating would look at the issue and look at ways of tackling congestion.
Lib Dem councillors Ann Reid and Ian Cuthbertson, challenged council leader James Alexander over a scruitny review at last month's cabinet meeting, and Cllr Reid and Lib Dem group leader Keith Aspden both requested a scrutiny committee review of the trial.
At the time, Cllr Alexander said a review would be the "right thing to do" if that was what the scrutiny committee members wanted. But a report to go before the committee next week reveals he considers the calls for an investigation by the committee to be "politics not scrutiny".
The same papers show Cllr Dave Merrett, who was responsible for transport at the time of the sixmonth trial, said a scrutiny committee review would be premature and could prejudice a legal case between the council and the traffic adjudicator, which said the trial was unlawful.
The Lib Dems dubbed Labour's attempts to block scrutiny "unacceptable".
Leader Keith Aspden said: "The public deserve answers, particularly those residents and businesses who were directly affected. We need to know how Labour implemented an 'unlawful' scheme, why the signage was so poor, why there no real public consultation before the trial, and why in the face of overwhelming opposition Labour pushed on with the closure.
"Only by properly analysing the Lendal Bridge trial and learning the necessary lessons can the council ensure that future attempts at tackling congestion are more successful."
Conservative leader Chris Steward added: "The bridge closure has been and remains a disaster for York and this is partly because Labour didn't involve other parties in the decision-making process and as there was no proper scrutiny of the process.
"There was nothing more political in the whole farce than the decision to end the trial which we know was purely due to Labour councillors worried about the coming election.
Given there is to be a supposed cross-party commission on congestion, Labour should be looking at everything they can now to learn lessons, rather than pretending their mistakes didn't happen."
The Labour leadership pointed to an independently chaired commission it has pledged to set up after the trial's failure.
A party spokesman said: "Looking over the information collected from the bridge trial will be the job of the cross-party, independently chaired, Traffic Congestion Commission. All parties have the option to participate in this and do something constructive to tackle what is a major problem for the city that has been here for a long time and isn't going away."

When Rabbi Kevin Hale came to Wooster two years ago, fresh out of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia, he said he wanted to be a presence in the community, more than just a rabbi for the county's Jewish community.
Feeling as though he has accomplished his goal, and wanting to move closer to both his and his wife's families, Hale is leaving the Knesseth Israel Temple for Northampton, Mass., where he will have the opportunity to construct a new synagogue.
This evening, Hale will deliver his final message at Knesseth Israel.
"For 100 years, Northampton has had one rather conservative congregation," Hale said. "As life has increased and more and more liberal and interfaith families and alternative families moved into the area, the need arose to start a brand new synagogue.
"For a rabbi who really is committed to public work, nothing is more thrilling than helping a congregation to grow. I'll be the first rabbi of the second synagogue in Northampton."
Hale, who replaced Rabbi Seth Riemer in June 1998, said he is excited to begin work in the very liberal, very diversified Northampton.
"It really is a different culture," he said. "We will be sad to leave Wooster, but I think we're a couple of very liberal East Coast-type Jews who have moved to a rather conservative Midwestern Christian town."
Hale, his wife, Ruth Ever, and their two children, Simon Ever-Hale and Luna Benvenida, will actually be moving quite close to previous homes.
"My wife lived (in Northampton) for about 10 years," Hale said, "and I lived in a small town about 40 miles from there also 10 years ago. When I was applying to rabbinical school, my Jewish life was in that area."
Since he left that area a decade ago, Jewish life has exploded, Hale said.
"The National Yiddish Book Center is in that area," he said. "They are basically saving Yiddish literature, and reviving Yiddish as a spoken and written language."
The Massachusetts town is fairly close to New York City, something that will allow Hale to follow another passion.
"I will have the opportunity to study sofer," Hale said of the field of Jewish calligraphy and scribal arts. "You learn to be able to write a torah. It's a specialized and sacred craft, and being close to New York, I will have the opportunity to study that."
Finding spare time to study sofer may be a challenge. Besides agreeing to help build a second Northampton synagogue, Hale also will serve as an assistant rabbi to a congregation in Amherst, Mass.
"Their rabbi is a prominent rabbi in my movement," he said. "He's cutting his work a little to teach Jewish meditation."

hi. i have a regular gravity fed toilet. i like the idea of these new(ish) pressurized water toilets that look like regular toilets but have a pressure vessel in the tank. is it worth replacing a perfectly fine gravity toilet with one of these? what are the benefits? and cost savings in terms of water use?
I have also been considering buying a pressurized toilet and I have done a lot of research on this subject and I have found that this type of toilet saves alot in water but you must get a High-Efficinecy toilet! When you think about it if you have to keep flushing over and over to make it work you will use alot more water! I have also found that the Dual-Flush is also a great water saver! Dual-flush toilets are technically high-efficiency models that save water by offering two separate flushing modes one for solid waste, and one for liquid. The liquid half-flush option uses just 0 .8 1.1 gallons of water per flush but if you deside to upgrade your toilet to a High-Efficinecy or a Dual-Flush toilet with high pressure you will use about 20% less water.
