Beached Pilot Whale at Jersey Cove, Cape Breton
We got a call the other day that there was a beached whale near the causeway by the Englishtown ferry, so I grabbed my camera and drove down to see it. An image of a giant whale washed up on shore with a mass of people trying frantically to save it produced itself in my head, and […]

Australian and American tariffs policies: do they rock or tango?
This paper disentangles between two hypotheses on the determinants of Australia's and the US' average tariffs levels. Relying on historical data that covers a century (1904 to 2005), it is first shown that a break in the series occurs in 1947, forcing to separate the data into two sub-periods (before and after the 1947 break). The results permit to distinguish a "rock" and a "tango" regime. The first designates the period where one country (the US) has a stronger influence on the other, while the second indicates that, after 1947, stronger reciprocal inter-relations have to be taken into account.

So I have been having some bad runs lately. Minus my hill run on Wednesday.
Yesterday I was feeling good- I started out and knew deep down I probably should have just given up then. I kept having to massage my left leg since it had that lead feeling again.
I was supposed to do 3x2000m repeats. I managed 2- 9:50, and 9:49. I wanted 9mins or less for both, which could have easily happened if my leg would co-operate! The funny thing is that my right leg felt great!
I walked most of my cool down, and decided I would foam roll right when I got home.
I found the most massive knots in my left quad. It hurt to foam roll but I knew I had to suck it up. I don't know why I get so many huge knots, but I can even just lay on the floor and feel them. They are so big and stubborn that I just roll right over them.
I decided a good massage is in order, but can't call until next Monday because the clinic is closed Fridays. How convenient. Lol.
At least today is my rest day. Thank goodness! More foam rolling tonight too. Blech My new foam roller I have is a yellow back pack sized roller, but it is harder than the hardest black one I was using during the school year!! It makes me yell out in pain sometimes. Silly foam roller. Aint so foamy afterall. I think they should rename it.
Oh and ps- decided I would try out an "ice" bath last night- minus the ice- just cold water. I put my bathing suit on, stuck my toe in- "well, that's it for tonight folks!" Hahaha baby steps. And it wasn't even as cold as the clinic's ice bath was at school! 47F. You don't just feel cold pain for the first three minutes in that temp, you feel it for the whole 10! (Usually I just go numb and everything starts to feel "warm". Doesn't happen.
I think I've turned into a wuss for ice baths since being home. Oh well.
Anywho. Run hard, loopies! Or rest hard if its your rest day, like it is mine!!! Weehoooo.

So for me im praising SONY to pick up where they left off an moving forward with its newly based PSN+ an making tones of Exclusive games that I enjoy on PS3 an making most out of its games where a console is a gaming console without throwing all those media apps in my face when known I already own a sky digi box to watch my Shows/Movies on so I don't need another device when I already have 1. but missing your shows with having IPlayer, 4oD is quite a small reason why its there! I don't do digital movies either im sticking to my Bluray collection an buying the disk base its self. so I love the fact SONY is coming out saying the PS4 its all about the games an its PSN+ its makes me like the console that so much better because SONY knows what the consumers want. nearly missed this out I think the social aspect, it will be great I hope they do something great with that an letting us use the likes of Twitter/ Facebook a lot better than before
not trying to be an ass but dude, that was an extremely long post for something that's already been said 1,000,000 times already .
that being said, i agree with u. ms is moving in a questionable direction

Nearly a century after a German torpedo sunk the passenger liner Lusitania, killing nearly 2,000 people, a story about the World War I attack has sent a torpedo of sorts into the belly of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
The Energy Department's inspector general scolded the nuclear weapons lab this week over $81,746 worth of research the lab conducted for a National Geographic documentary on why the Lusitania sunk within 20 minutes of being hit in 1915.
The inspector general found that the lab improperly used its licensing and royalty fees to conduct testing at its high explosive facilities for the National Geographic report and erred in doing work that could be performed by the private sector, a possible violation of federal rules.
The "funds expended on this project did not conform with established restrictions that limited its use to legitimate and mission-related scientific research, development, technology transfer and education at LLNL," the report said.
A spokeswoman for the lab said National Geographic did not pay for the research.
The inspector general's memorandum stopped short of finding that the lab had violated the law, but said it created the appearance of improper activity.
The lab, which was founded to design nuclear weapons after World War II, has been trying over the last decade to diversify and find new clients for its scientific and engineering expertise. Among other things, the lab has focused on homeland security technology.
The lab derives 62 percent of its $1.5 billion budget from nuclear weapons work.
In its formal response to the report, the Energy Department concurred with the inspector general's findings. But a statement issued by the lab's public affairs office defended the work on the Lusitania project.
"The laboratory believes it followed the correct procedures for working on the modeling and simulation in support of the National Geographic documentary on the sinking of the Lusitania," the statement said. If not, it said, the lab will "take corrective actions."

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 11:46:36 GMT —
A former dancer at a gentleman's club in Myrtle Beach has sued Thee New Dollhouse, accusing the owners of violating state and federal minimum wage and overtime laws.
Alexis DeGidio filed the class action lawsuit in federal court on behalf of dancers in similar circumstances. She worked at the club and its previous business, Crazy Horse Saloon and Restaurant Incorporated between 2004 and 2011.
The lawsuit accuses owners of Thee New Dollhouse of avoiding paying DeGidio and other workers at least the applicable minimum wage. DeGidio also accuses the business of improperly withholding tips they earned for lap dances and other services.
The lawsuit says DeGidio is now one of the club's wait staff.
DeGidio is suing for an award of unpaid minimum wages, unpaid overtime wages, restitution of gratuities, and attorney fees.
The operator of the club, Michael J. Peter and Associates, has not filed a response to the lawsuit.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Who will snap up Brigitte Bardot's classic Riva yacht in RM Sotheby's auction?
Brigitte Bardot and her smart little Riva yacht were an iconic pairing off St Tropez in the 1960s, as press photography from the era confirms. Now this classic yacht is for sale in an upcoming RM Sotheby's auction. Will anther celebrity snap up this beautiful day boat that echoes a bygone time of glamour and sophistication, or will an anonymous investor seal the deal? The boat's estimated value is €90,000 to €120,000.
The famous auction house has announced it will be offering two classic Rivas at is biennial sale during the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on 23 May, 2015, taking place on Lake Como, Italy.
Riva Super Florida
The first famous Riva up for sale was owned by actress Brigitte Bardot. Launched in 1959, Nounours was Riva Super Florida hull No 341. Film director and Brigitte Bardot's former husband, Roger Vadim, purchased the Riva at the Monaco Boat Service in 1959. He then gifted the Riva to Brigitte Bardot for her to keep at her St Tropez villa.
After using the boat often during the early 1960s, the Riva was sold to a St Tropez restaurateur and it remained in the region for many years. the classic Riva changed hands again in 1996, and has since been fully restored by experts.
Riva Aquarama Special
The second high profile classic Riva up for sale is a Riva Aquarama Special hull No 652, Shaheen, which was built for the Sheikh Hamad-al-Thani, Emir of Qatar. A series II Aquarama Special, she is powered by twin V8 Riva 350hp engines.
Launched in 1976, the classic yacht was delivered to the Sheikh's residence on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, where she always remained and still retains her Swiss registration documents. Carefully maintained by her present owner, the yacht was restored by RAM Sarnico in 2003 to 2005. Shaheen's estimated worth €350,000 to €500,000.
The auction and the media interest around both these yachts shows how well such classic boats – if well maintained – retail their value.

Towards automating model selection for a mark-recapture-recovery analysis
Methods for fitting models to mark-recapture-recovery studies are now well established in the literature. Classical model selection methods for identifying those models which best represent the population under investigation are perhaps less satisfactory. One class of methods implements manual model searches on a model space that is restricted by strong physical understandings of the biological plausibility of each model. This can lead to highly subjective analyses requiring "a priori" expert knowledge, which are slow to implement and can be error prone. More automated search algorithms are now available and can be implemented with ease to consider larger classes of models. We investigate the utility of such automated algorithms and consider in particular the situation where there is a large set of near optimal models according to the model ranking function. We present a modification of an automated search procedure on an unrestricted model space and propose a procedure for model selection in the absence of a single clear optimal model. We investigate this approach through a classical mark-recapture-recovery analysis of a red deer population from the island of Rùm and conduct an investigation into senesence, which is theorized to occur in wild animal populations.

Once the former wine-bearing areana for the royal family of Prague, this area is a quiet break from the hustle of tourists known in the city center. This high-class bohemian residential center has streets lined with apartments from 1900s, and parks of green hills dotted here and there.
Vinohrady's main street, Vinohradská, is home to alternative boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants. Mánesova ulice also contains an abundance of drink fare tucked away amongst the local flats. I.P.

Mavericks' Vince Carter comes up one point short of moving into top 25 on all-time scoring list
Six active players are among the NBA's top 25 career scorers. Two of them played in American Airlines Center on Thursday, No. 10 Nowitzki and No. 19 Duncan.
Mavericks guard Vince Carter needs seven points to pass former Maverick Adrian Dantley and become the seventh active player — and third at the AAC — to crack the career top 25.
Carter scored six points Thursday, all in the first half.
Only one other team has two active players ranked among the top 25. Brooklyn's Kevin Garnett is No. 14 on the scoring list and teammate Paul Pierce is No. 18.
Moreover, only 10 active players are among the top 50 career scorers. Dallas, Brooklyn and Miami are the only teams with two active players on that list. Miami's Ray Allen is No. 21 and LeBron James is No. 28.
Only 13 active players are among the top 75 career scorers. Dallas and Miami are the only teams with three players, with Dwyane Wade checking in at No. 74 and Shawn Marion at No. 75.
"Yeah," Marion said. "But those guys have taken a hell of a lot more shots than I have."

TAMPA — When bitter rivals Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson square off Saturday in one of the most anticipated mixed martial arts fights in recent memory, Storm linebacker Cliff Dukes will watch with a little more vigor than the average fan.
"(Rashad) is my dog," Dukes said of Evans, who wrestled at Michigan State while Dukes played football there.
A day earlier, Dukes and the Storm face their bitter rival, Orlando.
"There has been a buzz around here all week," Dukes, who will play in his first "War on I-4," said. "It's been electric."
Like Evans, Dukes has gone a few rounds in the cage.
"It's such a good workout," Dukes said. "I love the physical nature of the sport."
After going undrafted, Dukes spent most of 2005 on the St. Louis Rams' practice squad before being let go. That's when Dukes became interested in MMA.
"I hung out with Rashad and a lot of the wrestlers in college, and I picked up a bunch of things," Dukes, 28, said. "I still talk to him on the phone a lot — up until he's in fight mode before a big one."
Dukes continued to train while making brief stops in Detroit, New Orleans and Toronto (CFL) but never seriously considered fighting. Then while attending a bout in 2007, a fighter backed out and Dukes was asked to fill in. All he did was make his opponent submit in less than a minute.
"Then I took another fight in 2008 on a week's notice and got a TKO in the first," Dukes said. "They were just semiprofessional fights, but I did pretty good."
Dukes said although both sports are physical in nature, that's where the comparisons end.
"I try to take on the persona of a beast for football," Dukes said. "In MMA, you can't go all out like that. One small, wrong move, and everything could get flipped upsidedown on you."
Dukes, who moved from lineman this season, is a big part of the Storm's defensive resurgence. After averaging 60.8 points allowed it its first four games, the unit has allowed fewer than 50 in its past two.
Storm coach Tim Marcum said Dukes has improved each game, culminating with six pressures against Bossier-Shreveport on May 15. Dukes didn't get a sack — he has one this season — but he sealed the 48-44 win by forcing quarterback Raymond Philyaw to fumble on the last play.
"I questioned myself a little as to whether it was a good move when we signed him because he was very average at the start," Marcum said. "But he's adapting well to the linebacker position and has gotten better and better."

Hunter High Students Weigh In on (Irving) Kagan
The reviews are in and Kagan is either a "genius" with a "weird sense of humor" or "a complete radical" who "doesn't do a good job of keeping discussions focused" and gives "too many handouts."
These remarks have been aimed not at Elena Kagan, the Supreme Court nominee currently undergoing a traditionally long-winded confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, but her brother Irving. He's a social studies teacher at Hunter College High School in Manhattan, which makes him subject to the anonymous reviews of students on RateMyTeachers.com.
Lest anyone think that Washington's partisan acrimony has anything on the hostility of high school students, take a look at these reviews…

20-year-old cell biology evidence instead of their LNT [linear no-threshold] ideology and epidemiology, they would realize that they are trying to measure a cancer risk (radiation-induced DNA damage rate) that is six million (6,000,000) times lower than the spontaneous risk of cancer (i.e., natural DNA damage rate).
ANS Nuclear Cafe – The provincial government of Tamil Nadu, India's southern-most state, has dropped its opposition to hot start of twin 1,000-MW VVER reactors at Kudankulam and withdrawn support from local anti-nuclear protests.
The long-running controversy over the start of NPCIL's Russian-built twin 1,000-MW VVER reactors at Kudankulam *may* be coming to an end.
India plans to add 64 Gwe of power to its grid by 2032 to reduce the gap in rural electrification — a nuclear reactor market said to be worth $150 billion, although the USA is currently locked out by a supplier liability law. Dan Yurman covers the Kudankulam story, and the details of the politics behind the story.
Nextbigfuture – GE pushes the PRISM reactor and China ramps up the infrastructure for the Chinese version of the AP1000 reactor. China making the systems for the CAP1400.
NExtbigfuture – iRobots Warrior and Packbots will be used as part of normal nuclear reactor operations in the USA

Unemployment in Levy County dropped to 11.4 percent in February, a figure not seen for at least two years.
The February unemployment rate represents a 1 percent drop from January's adjusted rate of 12.4 percent. according to a press release from CLM Workforce Connection, the regional employment agency serving Levy, Marion and Citrus counties.
In Levy County, the number of those with jobs increased by 63 to 15,260 out of a civilian force of 17,222. Those without jobs dropped by 182 to 1,962. In January 2,144 were jobless out of a civilian workforce of 17,341.
A homemakers group — with most members over age 55 — took the Levy County Commission to task for requiring they provide urine samples for drug tests in order to do volunteer work in the county's libraries.
Dr. Bob Mount was the guest speaker at the Chiefland Rotary Club meeting Feb. 9 and he gave members a brush up on dental care. "You don't have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep," he said. He also advised using a soft toothbrush because it does not damage tooth enamel.
Badcock Home Furniture & More of Chiefland raised more than $4,500 during its 5th Annual Benefit for Haven Hospice —a drawing for a large-screen, high-definition TV— bringing its combined contributions to more than $18,000.
Eve Robinson of Robinson's Seafood in Cedar Key won the TV. Badcock owner Carol Tew presented a check to Haven Hospice Vice President of Organizational Advancement Michael Morse and Haven supporter Harry Coleman at the Haven Hospice Attic donation drop-off site in Chiefland.
Bell Middle FFA's Lowgan Daniels repeated as Grand Champion of the Feeder Steer Show while Hunter Anderson of Old Town won Grand Champion in the Fat Steer Show.
"It feels kinda like it did last year, but this year is better because it's two times in a row," said Daniels, an eighth grader who named his winning steer "Teddy," because its face looks like a "big ol' teddy bear."
The judge for the swine competition at the Suwannee River Youth Livestock Show and Sale made a judgement call on more than the porcine participants during Monday's event.
"This is the nicest group of kids I ever had to work with," said Paul Wigley, a Cooperative Extension Agent in Calhoun County, Ga. Wigley should know as he is considered one of the Southeast's outstanding swine judges and does about 50 shows each year.
Dozens of students in FFA and 4-H from three counties participated in the Suwannee River Fair's Livestock Judging contest Saturday.
The participants, clad in dark blue or green jackets, sat in the stands around the fair's arena with scorecards evaluating four classes of market steers and hogs.
Justin Crosswhite, an agricultural representative from the University of Florida who gave the official ranking of the animals, explained after each round what the participants should have been looking for.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office has decided not to charge local police and fire agencies for its dispatch services in the coming fiscal year as planned.
Previously, Sheriff Johnny Smith had told municipal police and fire, and county fire and emergency medical services that their agencies would have to pay as much as $40,000 a year for dispatch services now provided free by his department. The charges were to start Oct. 1 and every agency would be required to purchase a $7,500 software program to become part of the sheriff's silent dispatch system.
Members of the Bronson Town Council are entertaining the idea of a town-sponsored community garden.
Bronson restaurant owner Jim Beck asked the council to consider the idea at Monday night's regular meeting. Beck, citing several news articles, told the council he was worried about the potential for food shortages and high food prices in the near future.
David Florance first got involved in firefighting in 2000 as a volunteer with Chiefland Fire Rescue. He said he got involved because of a couple of friends that were already volunteering at the department.
"It's just been up hill ever since," the 36-year-old EMT and firefighter said.

d'Arenberg Sticks & Stones Tempranillo, Grenache, Tinta cao, Souzao 2010
d'Arenberg has recently given many of their wines a fresh, slick new look and The Sticks and Stones 2010 is now sporting distinctive new togs.
An allsorts bag blending Spain (Tempranillo and Garnacha/Grenache) and Portugal
(Tinta cao and Souzao) goodies all grown in the McLaren Vale. The Osborn family were one of the first to plant Tempranillo in McLaren Vale and to give it due respect. While the Spanish companions are a traditional pairing, the addition of the Portuguese grapes are definitely not traditional in a table wine but this is a confident blend and it certainly works here.
On the nose, the blend is a layered meaty red berry, plum and cinnamon oak concoction. On the palate though, the d'arenberg team do their magic with old barrels to preserve the facets of personality and the vibrancy of these varietals. Smooth and polished with juicy bright fruit and finely grained tannins. Sticks & Stones finishes with nuances of cola and cloves on the finish.

With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month a lot of sporting events, teams, athletes have added the color pink to their apparel and equipment in support of a disease that effects one out of every eight woman.
You can now add the Maximum Fighting Championship to the list of those who have jumped in head first to raise money and awareness against Breast Cancer.
The Power of Pink initiative will coincide with their next event scheduled for Friday October 26th. MFC 35 will emanate from the Mayfield Conference Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Here is the official MFC press release:
"Unfortunately, cancer has touched someone in everybody's family, and breast cancer is especially heartbreaking yet the fight of those ladies battling this disease is truly inspiring," said Mark Pavelich, Owner/President of the Maximum Fighting Championship.
"The MFC would like to show its support in whatever way we can and showcasing pink on fight night is just a small measure of our sentiment."
The MFC will wrap two of the ring ropes in pink tape as opposed to the usual white, a new MFC logo with pink ribbon (pictured above) will be on the ring mat, and fighters will sport pink tape on their gloves. MFC staff will also be wearing pink accessories such as neckties during fight night.
"To help make an even bigger statement, we're encouraging our fighters to wear pink during their walkout to the ring and to put the pink ribbon on their sponsorship banner," added Pavelich. "More pink means more support and awareness, and hopefully, one day a cure."
MFC 35: Explosive Encounter will air live on AXS TV Fights throughout the United States on Friday, Oct. 26 beginning at 10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT (check local listings for channel designation). The main card will then air on tape-delay on TSN 2 throughout Canada.
Love him or hate him, Pavelich is making a positive impact and will bring a lot of much needed attention to Breast Cancer awareness. Whether the disease has effected you personally or not, there is a good chance someone you love has been stricken with Breast Cancer.
You can listen to Pavelich discuss MFC 35 and the Power of Pink initiative this Sunday when he joins hosts Bryan Levick and Mitch Ciccarelli on BJPenn.Com Radio.Tags: BJPenn.Com Radio, BJPennDotCom Radio, Mark Pavelich, Maximum Fighting Championships, MFC 35

Erik Kynard's family cheering him on from Toledo
Mon, 06 Aug 2012 02:26:55 GMT —
Rogers High School alum Erik Kynard cleared 2.29 meters (7 feet 6 inches) on his second attempt and advanced Sunday to the finals of the men's high jump at the Olympics. Kynard's family and friends packed into his mother's house to watch and cheer him on during the qualifers. Everyone watching with anxious and watching with excitment.
In the qualifers, Kynard cleared all three of his first attempts with ease. He missed the first attempt at 2.29 meters, his only miss of the qualification round, but cleared it easily on his second attempt. Six other jumpers cleared 2.29 meters along with Kynard.
Kynard will be competing in the finals Tuesday night which will be in prime time on WNWO.

" Genre: Television - Stargate SG-1 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Stargate SG-1 Season 6 boxset has 6 dvd's together from volumes 26-31. I've not watched all of them but will give my opinion on one i have seen and what i think will happen on the next dvd episodes. My favorite one at the moment is the Descent on volume 26. This one involves the team investigating an abandoned Goa'uld ship orbiting earth, which is abit strange to see one of those mother ships that close to earth with no people onboard. So they decide to use the rings to board the ship and have a look to see fif they can start the ship up again. But they come to realise that the ship has a self-destruct sequence ready to go of when it starts again, but is frozen. When they go and have a look around to see if there really is anyone on board they hear that one of the scientists has been killed by someone who they didn't pick up while on the other ship. So they realise that these are saboteurs trying to gain as much as they can and also nick the teams ship too! The saboteurs have attacked the mother ship, making it fall to the earth and heading straight for the ocean, with still the SG-1 team still inside (apart from Teal'C). So as water flows into the mother ship they have to find a way of stopping it, so Jonas Quinn saves the day and the team ofcourse! They escape using gliders and manage to go just intime before the ship becomes waterlogged. Unfortunately for Jack O'neill he can't have this mother ship for himself as after they were saved it blew up.
I also like the idea of having an episode and then continuing from the last episode to make it 1 BIG episode but 2 individual ones. Such as on volume 26 you have the episodes Redemption: Part 1 and Redemption: Part 2 where the part 1 carrys on onto part 2 to complete the story which makes you want to watch the next episode.
To me these sort of episodes are quite exciting as you never know when a team member may die or become hurt, or even what the outcome is. If they have a good variety of action such as these ones then you will enjoy them. The episodes themselves are quite long, with each dvd lasting 3hrs each, so 6 dvds x 12 hours = 15 hours worth of Stargate SG-1 in 1 boxset. So if you bought all the boxsets then you would have alot of action coming your way.
So i would suggest buying any of the boxsets as they are all good and exciting especially if you are a Stargate fan. If your not then why not start your collection with a boxset or start of buying the individual dvds until you make a collection. Each boxset contains about 6 dvds and if you buy them online you could save yourself quite some money. I bought Season 6 boxset really, really cheap of amazon, so i would suggest starting your collection from there. I already have bought 12 dvds in 1 month from amazon, so worth checking out.
The only disadvantage to this boxset is that Daniel Jackson is gone! Hopefully in the next episodes and boxsets he will return...
(Please leave a rating and a comment if you want, and if you want me to give my thoughts on any other Stargate SG1 episodes then let me know)
Still entrenched in the simpler, early days of the TV show, Stargate's Volume 6 DVD offers a mixture of plot-furthering and random, fun shows for both the devoted and passive fans. As usual with the older releases, the picture quality is not so great for a DVD and there's nothing in the way of extras apart from scene selections, animated menus and several audio/subtitle options, but four episodes and nearly three hours makes it value for money when commonly found quite cheap on the internet. As for the episodes: SERPENT'S SONG An episode that would require some degree of background knowledge to the series ot fully appreciate, "Serpent's Song" deals with a dying Apophis, the Goa'uld who would have destroyed or enslaved the human race if not for the intervention of SG-1 at the start of season 2, and explores the ethical and realistic notions of whether he should be allowed to die. Meanwhile, a mysterious and extremely powerful ancient Goa'uld Sokar, who takes his name from the Egyptian god of death, is slowly pushing through the iris that keeps the Stargate sealed. The teaser (pre-episode titles) to this episode certainly start the DVD off with a bang, with some shots of Apophis' ship being shot down from space into a desert, however the action dwindles after this. Aside from the interesting and mysterious idea of Sokar, the storyline seems to drag on and not properly develop, and I certainly would only recommend the episode to a dedicated fan of the series. If not for the finale to season 2, I suspect MGM might have converted this into some form of clip show. HOLIDAY Meeting a frail old man called Machello in an advanced laboratory, apparently a notable hero in the battle against the Goa'uld, the team return to Earth unaware that the old man has swapped his presence with Daniel Jackson's. While Daniel lies comatose, Machello explores the local neighbourhood, intent on
living life as a free man after being hunted f or so long. Meanwhile, attempting to discover how the body swap machine works, Jack and Teal'c become involved in an identity crisis of their own. An enjoyable episode, added to by the hilarity of Christopher Judge portraying Richard Dean Anderson's character. I'm not sure how they are able to get away with Michael Shanks playing both Daniel and Machello, as I find it rather obvious, but on the whole an easy to grasp episode and funny romp. Reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode "Body Swap." ONE FALSE STEP Exploring a primitive alien world, SG-1 find they may be causing the inhabitants to fall ill. However, once Jack begins to experience the same symptoms, eyes fall towards the local plant life. A nice random episode, not particularly great but watchable. I always like it when some outdoor action is included in episodes rather than simply the SGC all the time- the alien species are interesting as well. SHOW AND TELL A young, dying boy speaks of invisible aliens who wish to destroy his people. Jack is particularly sympathetic to the boy's cause as he reminds him of his dead son. Not a strong episode, the only real high points are the battles with the invisible (nice money-saving technique there) aliens, and the shock value of the boy's alien mother being killed in front of him. One of the weaker episodes of the season, although the child actor is good. Overall, a good DVD but no fantastic episodes- only "Holiday" would be a possibility to call a 'classic.' As I said, the extras aren't too great and even the cover simply features Richard Dean Anderson in a scene not really relevant to any of the plots.
The biggest change for Stargate's sixth season was its move to the Sci-Fi Channel. Financial rescue or genre haven from cancellation? Whatever the behind-the-scenes politics, the departure of Daniel Jackson (actor Michael Shanks) the previous year most certainly contributed to the need to run a tighter ship somewhere. With the addition of his replacement, Jonas Quinn, the new show dynamic (hinted at by the new title theme tune) meant far more convoluted arc-stories and less individual focus.
One of very few solo spotlights came from Christopher Judge writing his own show, when "The Changeling" saw Teal'c act out a life as a fireman. One reason for being a fan favourite was its cameo from still-alive-after-all Daniel Jackson. There'd be several more through the year, culminating in a finale that tested how much attention you'd been paying to that all-important back-story.
Other kooky cameos included Dean Stockwell in one of the many spotlights on the energy resource n'quadria, Ian Buchanan as one of the devilish Replicators (and hopefully the end of that plotline) and regular spots from John DeLancie, Ronny Cox and Tom McBeath as the Earth-bound series baddies. More pertinently, we also saw Byers from The X-Files (Bruce Harwood) as a scientist involved with the Antarctic Gate. Lest we forget, there are other portals on Earth. Is that an already planned spin-off on the horizon? --Paul Tonks

In Reply to: Tissue of Lies posted by marcus on January 27, 2001
: : I'm looking for the origin of the phrase "tissue of lies". Thanks!
: : The term can be used in reference to cartography or map making. All maps are inherently inaccurate due to the difficult if not impossible job of transposing or projecting 3D information, the Earth, to a 2D medium, paper.
: The magazine "The New Republic" fired a young journalist named Stephen Glass a couple of years ago after they discovered he had fabricated elaborate stories complete with fake references, witnesses, web pages, etc. He was a rising star and got away with it mainly because the magazine was short handed in the quality control department. You could say he was a serial fabulist. There were a lot of retractions in the wake of his hatchet job.
Glass's work would be an example of a tissue of lies; the phrase is much older than that. The Oxford English Dictionary gives this definition for a figurative sense of "tissue": "Something likened to a woven fabric, as being produced by the intertwining of separate elements; an intricate mass or interwoven series, a 'fabric', 'network', 'web' (of things abstract, most usually of a bad kind, as absurdities, errors, falsehoods, etc.)." The OED's earliest example of this use is from Joseph Addison, 1711: "Those little occasional Poems . . . are nothing else but a Tissue of Epigrams."

I kid
I'm not fussed about United getting him. I think the CB's we have are pretty solid. Jones and Rojo have really been awesome for us as of late. Smalling and Baily have also been great while Blind has impressed me whenever he's played at CB too. If we were to get a new CB then I'd want Varane or Marquinhos.

AR15 Take down pin
Anyone have trouble pushing in the front take down pin on their AR to put it back together after disassembling the upper and lower? I'm not sure if it's because it's new, I've put a drop of oil on the take down pin detent but it wasn't much help. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I've never had any problems with any of mine. Is it just the front take down pin?
If so,you can always take it apart,and cut a couple coils off the detent pin spring,That should solve the problem.
You could also replace the pins with the quick release type.
Best I've found is the Yankee Hill Machine - EZ Pull Takedown Pin Set.
Yankee Hill Machine - MidwayUSA
Yankee Hill Machine - Rainier Arms
If you cut to many coils it will not latch in place in or out
Have you tried the lower on a different upper receiver?
Reason I ask is because I have one upper receiver (A POF) that the holes don't align quite right with any of my lower receivers. If you look inside the front takedown pin hole with just the rear pin pushed in you can see the holes are just slightly out of line with each other. I just ended up matching that upper up with the lower it works best on. I should probably try to fix it at some point though.
So it might not be the pin or the detent causing your problem, it could be a hole alignment issue.

A FAILURE to tackle workers' low pay means the Scottish Government's public procurement bill lacks ambition, according to a leading union.
The public services union Unison is to brief MSPs this week on the bill which it describes as very disappointing, claiming it does too little to tackle low pay, zero hours contracts and sustainable procurement of food.
The bill will receive its stage one debate on Thursday. However, Unison is to tell MSPs that none of a list of 10 'asks' presented to ministers by a coalition of charities and civil society groups have been heeded.
Loading article content
"There is widespread disappointment that a bill which was originally due to be the Sustainable Procurement Bill ... largely is about 'business-friendly processes", the written briefing states.
"There are deep concerns that short term economic arguments will be prioritised with only lip service paid to sustainability."
The union also calls on the Scottish Government to take action against companies found to have blacklisted workers, and adds: "Much more must be done to stop tax-dodging companies winning public contracts. Are members on the side of the tax-dodgers? Or will you take action to tackle them?"
Charities and unions had called for the bill to include a requirement that public bodies tackle low pay by requiring all suppliers to pay the living wage. They had also called for action on blacklisting and tax-dodging, a focus on sustainable development and promotion of fair trade, employment standards and social benefit in purchasing decisions.
Unison Scottish organiser Dave Watson said a race to the bottom in procurement was a big concern for many charities. "Many of those involved in delivering services are really struggling," he said. "People are having to cut corners in order to win contracts. Unless procurement is sorted out, this difficulty is not going to go away. We need a more credible approach."
Nicola Sturgeon, cabinet secretary for infrastructure, investment and cities, responded to concerns about the bill in a letter to the Scottish Parliament's Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee at the end of last year. She said making the payment of the Scottish Living Wage mandatory for those bidding for public contracts was "likely to be a breach of our obligations under wider EU legislation and treaty principles".
She added that public bodies would be able to take blacklisting and failure to pay tax into account when awarding contracts.
Meanwhile, measures requiring authorities to take into account innovation and social benefit would ensure spending decisions were sustainable, she said. "Sustainability is at the heart of Scotland's public procurement reform programme."

Thanks for the Nome photos. Cool street sign pointing to Moscow, Siberia, Phoenix, Chicago, etc.... Even after a few years of watching the races it still amazes me that you run in the sea ice (and the frozen rivers too). Where I live the ponds and rivers may freeze for a short period of time, but never enough to step out on them. Always enjoy the pup pics. Schmoe looks like he's contemplating something very serious, like when is my next meal/snack!
- March 19, 2017 at 2:35 PM
Thanks for the great wrap up and pictures! Next best to being there. Congrats to Allen on his very well-earned award. Sportsmanship and SPK are almost synonymous which is one of the factors that makes you all so special. I watched the live video of the ceremony and saw Aliy and Allen right there front in for most of the time. Maybe next year--many good things happening!

Michel Debré
Jan. 15, 1912
Aug. 2, 1996
French Statesman. He was the Prime Minister of France from 1959 to 1962. Born in Paris, he was a long-time associate of
Charles de Gaulle
for whom he created the Ecole Nationale d'Administration (National School of Administration) in 1946 and also led the committee to draft a new consitution for the Fifth Republic in 1958. A staunch Gaullist, he then served under President de Gaulle as Minister of Justice (1958 to 1959), Prime Minister (1959 to 1962), Minister of Economics (1966 to 1968) and Foreign Minister (1968 to 1969), and under his successor, Prime Minister
Georges Pompidou

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way
Review by Kung Fu Tiger
"Mimes with Tommyguns!?"
Sierra has always been one of my favorite game company's. I was expecting a lot from this game, They gave me all that and more. Thinking of it as a parody of James Bond just isn't enough. This game is much better then James Bond game's in my opinion. And with the new price tag of $19.99 it's well worth it.
Presentation: 8/10
The menu's are very well done in No One Lives Forever 2. The multiplayer is easy to start up and play right away through the menu's. I've heard that this game has some trouble's in Window's XP but I've never had a problem with it. There isn't too much else to say about the presentation of No One Lives Forever 2.
Story: 9/10
The usual spy movie story... The enemy is trying to destroy/take over the World! We must stop him! But the story gets a lot more in depth throughout the game. I can't say too much more about the story without spoiling it.
Graphics: 9/10
Some of the best graphic's I have seen on a PC game. With how well it was designed it has good graphic's and they don't require a $500-$600 video card to run them! I'm currently running on an Nvidia Ge Force 4 Ti 4400 and I have NEVER had a problem with Choppyness or slow down. When I ran the graphic's test in full resolution and all details enabled it recommended that I turn UP the graphic's even though I couldn't! The character model's are very well designed... Full mouth movement (though it's now common in games), Realistic walking... Etc. The Environments are very nicely designed... From the exotic area's of Japan to the run-down area's of Trailer parks.
Gameplay: 10/10
Gameplay is what in my opinion a game should be based around. No One Lives Forever 2 doesn't let you down. With 2 choice's of how to play... Run in with your guns firing or sneak around and subdue enemy's. In the easy mode you can get away with running in firing your gun... But in the harder difficulty's if you do this, you get killed. With the RPG type element's after doing objective's you can increase your character's attributes. Like Stealth, Armor, Stamina, Carrying etc. My only complaint is that the game is a little short, Unless you play on a high difficulty setting.
Controls: 7/10
With the default controls the usual WASD you will do the best. Controlling the snowmobile's in the game is very difficult if you are trying to use your mouse turn. Instead I recommend you use W to go forward and the left and right arrow keys to make it easier. Picking up and using Item's is very easy using the 2 mouse buttons. The action key is your 2nd mouse button making it nice and easy. To pick up a big item like a body you need to use the G key. It's a little far off the usual controls and you may get killed when trying to find the key.
Sound/Music: 9/10
The sound's in the game are very nicely done. The voice's are crisp and the gun's sound real. The Voice acting in this game is very well done... 20th Century Fox did a good job here. You can hear the sounds of wind chimes and birds in the background... People have been having trouble's with the sound on Windows XP but I've never had a problem.
Depending if you like the music from the 60's or not... Most of it is upbeat disco/pop. I don't really like that type of music so I won't go much further in this topic.
Multiplayer: 9/10
The multiplayer in this game is good and easy to get started. There are 4 mode's of online play.
Cooperative: Team up with other people to do missions.
Deathmatch: Kill the other player's as much as possible.
Team Deathmatch: Kill the other team's player's as much as possible.
Doomsday: Put together the 3 piece's of the doomsday device to win the game for your team.
The most people I've ever seen online though is about 50. Not many people use No One Lives Forever 2's multiplayer mode sadly.
And for those of you who didn't read the full review...
Good Story ,Great Graphics ,Great gameplay ,Good sound ,Good multiplayer ,Nice price
Sloppy controls ,some WinXP issues
And that conclude's my review for No One Lives Forever 2. I hope you buy this game, and maybe see you online! ^_^
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

People are complaining that WB might have potentially spoiled and ruined the film by the way the second trailer was structured.
The problem is they sold the film primarily on the conflict between Batman and Superman since they announced they were doing the film, and then it appears the presence of Doomsday in the trailer is the catalyst that stops the conflict. I'm of the opinion that the two of them probably slap each other around for a while (possibly more than once?), and then resolve the issue on their own prior to the arrival of Doomsday, but this is just me trying to speculate in favor of the filmmakers. It was a questionable marketing decision to edit the trailer in the fashion they did.
In fairness, "WE" (comic book, movie fans who frequent websites and social networks discussing this type of material regularly) aren't the true target for this sort of marketing anyway. General audiences and Superman/Batman fans who don't read comics, play DC games, or watch the animation are the people WB needs to reach. We are likely to see the film regardless of WB's marketing efforts. Let's not kid ourselves here, these people don't know a fraction of the information we have access to, and like I said earlier, they don't frequent our hobby circles to know to do research to find out things months, even years in advance to know what's coming. We are likely to see the film regardless of WB's marketing efforts. But I digress.
What outcome of the Batman/Superman conflict did people expect from this film? I've been a comic collector/reader for over three and one-half decades, and excluding one-off stories, superhero fights almost N-E-V-E-R end with a definitive winner. They usually fight to a standstill, realize they're wasting time or making a mistake, and cooperate afterward.
I can't completely absolve WB of responsibility. WB sold the film on the battle between Batman and Superman (and released teasers to that effect) and awakened a hornet's nest of fans and fanboys across the Net. But I truly blame the fans who were willing to battle it out for over a year over which hero was going to win the fight. You should see the YouTube videos and fanboys fights in various comment sections; it's brutal. Did they truly believe there was going to be a clear winner of the fight between Batman and Superman in this film?
WB should have just called the film Batman/Superman: Dawn of Justice and not tried to sell the film on the fight between two of the world's most popular characters. It would've made more sense if they sold the film primarily as a team-up between these heroes and structured the marketing to that effect.
Be that as it may, and despite how much our peers are grumbling, does anyone honestly believe they aren't likely to see the film anyway even if they have some idea from the trailer how the conflict between Batman and Superman might be resolved?

Canning (or fresh-preserving) jars: Jars and lids that create a seal during processing to prevent oxygen from seeping into the food. Ball and Kerr brands are the two you're most likely to find in supermarkets, hardware and mass-merchandise stores.
High-acid: Foods, such as pickles contain enough acid (a pH of 4.6 or lower) to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum bacteria, which could cause serious illness. You may use water-bath methods to fresh-preserve high-acid foods.
Experts used to put tomatoes in the high-acid column but are finding that new sweet varieties may not qualify. Check with your local cooperative extension service for recommendations.
Low-acid: Foods that don't naturally contain enough acid to prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria. Vegetables as well as, meat, poultry, dairy and many mixed foods are low-acid. Again, check with your cooperative extension service for advice.
Pressure canners: Large kettles deep enough to hold quart-size jars. The kettles, which are designed to process food under pressure, often feature turn-on lids with gaskets and dial gauges for indicating pressure. Pressure canners should include removable racks, an automatic vent, a vent port (for steam) and a safety fuse. Buy a new model, not a relic from a garage sale.
You'll find a good step-by-step description of pressure canning at:
Water-bath or boiling-water canner: Large pots with fitted lids and removable racks so you can easily insert and lift out jars. The canner has to be deep enough that the jars are covered with an inch of boiling water during processing.

Canning Cautions
Your grandmother's pickles bring a flood of wonderful memories.
However, that doesn't mean you should follow her recipe.
"People need to use current research-tested recipes," says Rita Ussatis, a food and nutrition expert with the Cass County extension office in Fargo, N.D.
You can play around with ingredient proportions when you're making a soup or stew, but stick with the recipe when you're preserving food, Ussatis says.
If you alter a recipe, you could reduce its acidity, allowing bacteria to grow.
And if you're preserving produce, check with local extension experts, even if you're not a novice. The acid levels in fruits may change depending on the soil, weather and other conditions. You'll have to make adjustments to your recipe. Altitude also influences canning procedures. The directions from your cousin in New Orleans wouldn't be appropriate if you're living in the high altitude of Denver.
For example, cooks in Ussatis' area are advised to add two tablespoons lemon juice to every quart of tomatoes they preserve. The formula may be different elsewhere.
Don't assume that home-canned foods have a longer shelf life than commercial products.
Enjoy your efforts within a year, Ussatis says.

Iran's violence-tinged election dispute has pushed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei into the high-profile role of political referee.
The 70-year-old cleric reigns over Iran's Islamic system as part pope, part commander in chief and one-man supreme court. While world attention has focused in recent years on the hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, much of the real power rests with the country's unelected supreme leader.
Khamenei (pronounced hah-meh-neh-EE') ordered an investigation Monday into fraud allegations in Ahmadinejad's re-election that have sparked the worst unrest in Tehran in a decade. The move was a stunning turnaround for Khamenei, who urged the nation to unite behind Ahmadinejad a day after Friday's election and called the result a "divine assessment."
The inquiry by the Guardian Council, composed of clerics closely allied with Khamenei, illustrates the supreme leader's desire to avoid a drawn-out political battle that could endanger the stability and legitimacy of the country's Islamic theocracy. At the very least, the dramatic intervention could buy time in hopes of reducing the anti-Ahmadinejad anger.
Khamenei is a hard-liner who has battled reformists in the past, and his support helped Ahmadinejad first get elected in 2005. But analysts say he is also a political realist, and in the past he has made concessions to ensure his main goals — his own survival and that of the cleric-run system.
The current dispute, led by pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who says he is the rightful election winner, presents Khamenei with one of his biggest challenges yet — over the stability of the country's ruling system.
Moreover, Mousavi has the backing of one of Iran's most powerful politician-clerics, former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, making it harder for the supreme leader to simply dismiss the reformists' claims.
As supreme leader, Khamenei has final say in all government matters in Iran — above the president and Parliament — wielding power through his domination of unelected clerical bodies, as well as the judiciary and security forces, including the elite Revolutionary Guard.
Pictures of the white-bearded cleric wearing his signature black turban and glasses are ubiquitous in Iran.
Khamenei succeeded Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the charismatic leader of Iran's Islamic revolution, after his death in 1989. Khamenei was initially seen as a weak figure, even though he had served two terms as Iran's president. Mild-mannered in comparison with the fiery father of the revolution, Khamenei was a relatively low-level cleric when he was bounced overnight to the top of the religious hierarchy.
Despite the initial skepticism, Khamenei has kept a strong grip on power and has been central in pushing policies that have locked Iran into confrontation with the United States.
He has personally set policy for the country's nuclear program, drawing the red line that Iran would not give up uranium enrichment, even as the refusal pushed the United Nations to impose sanctions. He has also strengthened ties with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Shiite guerrilla group Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Perhaps Khamenei's most prominent action before the election dispute was his role in blunting the popular reform movement that arose in the late 1990s when Mohammad Khatami was elected president and reformists took control of Parliament.
Like Mousavi, Khatami was supported by Iran's youth, who demanded a loosening of the strict social rules imposed by the 1979 Islamic revolution and called for improved ties with the outside world, including the country's archenemy, the United States.
Hard-liners backed by Khamenei were able to contain and eventually crush the reform trend. Judges repeatedly closed down liberal newspapers. Khamenei himself stepped in to prevent Parliament from amending laws that imposed restrictions on the media.
Unelected bodies directed by the supreme leader were also able to block other key legislation pushed by the liberals. The bodies barred many reformists from running in elections, ensuring the return of hard-liner control of Parliament in 2004 and helping Ahmadinejad win the following year.
Khamenei's intervention was seen as the start of the reformists' decline and a signal that the clerical leadership would not allow fundamental change.
But criticism over Ahmadinejad's handling of the economy and his antagonistic attitude toward the international community has re-energized reformists, who challenge the president's landslide victory over Mousavi.

This just in, popular 'Mint' arcade games CAN still be found
Found? More like tracked. Four years ago, nearly to the weekend, I was at a local Sherwin Williams picking up yellow paint to use on my newly acquired Pac-man arcade cabinet. With the backdoor in hand for color matching I met a girl who knew the significance of that piece of wood which started a dialog that led me to make some interesting finds. (more…)

Easy How-To: Arcade cabinet black mold
Even four years into this crazy arcade game collecting hobby, I am still amazed at how many cabinets get some exposure to moisture. 'Water Damage' is an over used term that less savvy collectors use to describe cabinets with everything from mild swelling to wood particle board deterioration.
On Monday, I had to sit by and watch a cabinet sit in the rain and truly define 'water damage'. (more…)
A Road Blasters cabinet that doubled as a shop sponge
I've been swamped, with a major project that takes 12-14 hours on average every day of the week. I hope to turn a corner on that soon. Now that summer is here, it appears that some arcade movement has started – that first movement might be more of a body shaking shutter, but every other game looks uphill from here. (more…)
The 'almost' Craigslist $35 cocktail deal
The morning routine – Oatmeal, juice, email and then Craigslist. I sat down at about 7:30 yesterday and saw a listing for an 'old table game non working' that was posted the night prior just after 10pm. At the worst I figured it could be a Sega cocktail cabinet with those ugly metal legs. But, 'worst' ended up being a relative term. (more…)
Alohomora! Indianapolis based Dream Authentics locks up Harry Potter license
"Its new to me", as NBC pitched it's sitcom reruns.

Former soldier raises £5m for charity by cycling across America
Tom Von Kaenel returned to his Oxfordshire home at the weekend after his 7,100km (4,412-mile) Sea2Sea Challenge to raise £5million for British charities, including the Army Benevolent Fund, the Royal British Legion and Help For Heroes.
The former US Army lieutenant colonel also hopes to raise £6.5million for American charities.
Starting in April, the keen cyclist covered an average of 186km (71.7 miles) a day cycling from Seattle to Washington DC.
Mr Kaenel, whose life was saved by American military doctors following an accident in the Pyrenees in 2009, was placed on the same ward as soldiers injured in Afghanistan and Iraq.
'We owe them a debt that we can help to repay for the sacrifices they have made,' the 55-year-old said.

preventing deletion of an opened file
Hi everybody,
Is it possible to prevent a file from deletion, if that file is opened by a process ?
All operations are performed by "root".
rw------- foo.bin
processA opened "foo.bin"
I want "rm foo.bin" can not delete this file.
The only way mandatory locking ?
If you're worried about the program failing because the blocks on disk might get removed while it's running, don't. On unix-like systems file data is only purged from disk when the link count reaches 0. Having a file in a directory raises the link count by one. So does having an open file handle for that file. While the program is running, even if the file is removed from the directory where it exists, the link count will still not drop to 0 because there is an open file handle for that file. Only when the program finishes and the file handle to the file is closed will the data be removed from the disk.
If you simply want to stop people removing the file from the directory, just change the permissions:
chmod a-w foo.bin
matthew@chubby:~/tmp$ touch testfile
matthew@chubby:~/tmp$ rm -f testfile
In fact, the problem is
processA continuously writes some kind of log to "foo.bin". If you remove file, processA does'nt know it. And write system call does'nt give any error although when you look at /proc/<pid>/fd, the file has (deleted) info near its name. You can use inotify maybe to close/re-open again that file to continue to logging. Or prevent totally the deletion of this log file. Since flock is an advisory lock, it does'nt work.
chattr -i file
Also, if you get the file creator ie logging prog to immediately unlink (delete) the file after opening it, it will be invisible to other cmds (I think).
This is often used to create temp files that can't be interfered with by other processes.

text: Politics 22 July 2011 James Murdoch accused of misleading parliament "We would like to point out that James Murdoch's recollection of what he was told...was mistaken." Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML James Murdoch has been accused of misleading MPs by two former News of the World executives. Colin Myler, who edited the paper until its closure two weeks ago, and Tom Crone, formerly the paper's top lawyer, issued a statement last night saying that Murdoch had been "mistaken" in his evidence. The disagreement hinges on an email known as the "for Neville" email because its link to the paper's former chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck, would have blown a hole in News International's defence that phone-hacking was just the work of one rogue reporter, Clive Goodman. The email is thought to be a key factor in News International's decision to pay a settlement of around £700,000 to Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, when he threatened to sue the paper. At the select committee on Tuesday, Labour MP Tom Watson asked him about this. Watson: "When you signed off the Taylor payment, did you see or were you made aware of the full Neville email, the transcript of the hacked voicemail messages?" Murdoch: "No, I was not aware of that at the time." He claimed that Myler and Crone hid the email from him. However, their statement contradicts this claim: Just by way of clarification relating to Tuesday's Culture, Media Select Committee hearing, we would like to point out that James Murdoch's recollection of what he was told when agreeing to settle the Gordon Taylor litigation was mistaken. In fact, we did inform him of the 'for Neville' email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor's lawyers. So what happens now? John Whittingdale, the chairman of the select committee said that this email was "one of the most critical pieces of evidence in the whole inquiry", and said that MPs would be asking Murdoch to respond and clarify. However, it is unlikely that this will get very far. Thus far, News Corporation has issued the following statement in response: James Murdoch stands by his testimony to the select committee. It is difficult to see circumstances in which this would be revoked, in the absence of concrete evidence that Murdoch saw the email. Wilfully misleading a select committee is not technically a crime as evidence is not given under oath, but it certainly would not look good. Crone and Myler's intervention is deeply troubling. If their claim is true (and given the large payment to Taylor and his confidentiality agreement, it it certainly not outside the realm of possibility), then at best Murdoch has forgotten evidence of serious criminality at his company, and at worst he has deliberately misled MPs. It is not the first time that News International executives stand accused of doing so. Parliament is now in recess, making it unlikely that the select committee will hold a special evidence session to clarify the issue, although such a course of action is not unprecedented. One thing we can be certain of is that this story is not disappearing. › Morning Call: pick of the papers Samira Shackle is a freelance journalist, who tweets @samirashackle.
