In an act of bizarre political theater, Detroit City Council, rendered powerless under Michigan's Emergency Manager Law, voted to pass the borrowed buck to Emergency Manager Kevin Orr.
But before they did, protesters went bananas.
City council members went running for cover because no police officers were available. One protester was even physically escorted out, while dragging his feet and falling to the ground.
Chambers were eventually cleared when officers arrived and warned the protesters.
An hour later, the council voted to award a $3.35 million, six-month contract to Orr's former law firm, Jones Day. The firm was advised on finances and restructuring Detroit, a job the city council used to do.
In the end, two protesters were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace. But they vow they'll be back.

Firefox partners with The Evil Empire
Darth "Ballmer" Vader: "Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong." Yoda "RMS": "Beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny." Vader: "Come To The Dark Side! We Have Cookies!"
No! Wait! That isn't how it went! Well, I hope not anyway!
Still, in a move that was as unthinkable as Bill Gates using an iPhone, or Linus Torvalds announcing MS-Linux, Mozilla, the company and non-profit open-source group behind the Firefox Web browser has gone over to the dark side…

Firefox OS media-casting stick strikes Kickstarter gold
The first Firefox OS based media player has arrived on Kickstarter, in the form of a $25 open-spec HDMI stick that supports Chromecast-like content casting. The Matchstick, which has already zoomed past its Kickstarter campaign's $100,000 funding goal, with 28 days still remaining, was teased back in June by Mozilla developer evangelist Christian Heilmann. The unnamed prototype was billed as an open source HDMI stick that runs Mozilla's Linux-based Firefox OS and offers casting capabilities. Few details were revealed at the time except that the device used the same DIAL (DIscovery And Launch) media-casting protocol created by Netflix and popularized by Google's Chromecast.
Open source history, present day, and licensing
Looking at open source softwares particularly, this is a fact that is probably useful to you if you are thinking about business models, many people don't care about it anymore. We talk about FOSS, Free and Open Source Software, but if we really are strict there's a difference between free software and open source software. On the left, I have free software which most typically is GPL software. Software where the license insures freedom. It gives freedoms to you as a user, but it also requires that the freedoms are maintained. On the right-hand side, you have open source software which is open for all, but it also allows you to close it. So here we come back to the famous clause of the GPL license, the reciprocity requirement which says, "If I am open, you need to be open." So software that comes under the GPL license carries with it something that other people call a virus. I call it a blessing because I think it's great if all software becomes open.

No more guess work.. I think By jmar on 8/27/2014jmar would recommend this product to a friendAccurate measurements, and includes a storage container for everything along with a laminated instruction card. It is a chore to get all the powder into the vial for the test. Work fast, or do some prep work beforehand. Several times I thought I got all the powder only to find that there was still a bit more in the packet. Take your time, get all the powder into the vial first and then calibrate. It includes 6 reagents so add those to the cart as well.
Great little device By Devin on 8/21/2014Devin would recommend this product to a friendProduct works great with fast results!! one thing i would say is get more reagent when you order the checker!! Also for best results clean the glass well, and swirl to avoid bubbles!!! Great product!!!! Accurate!!
I love this thing By JR on 8/20/2014JR would recommend this product to a friendif you have hair algae, you have phosphates....period. No matter what i used I kept saying to myself "my kits show no phosphates. I had to give in and get this Hanna Checker and it was the best move ever. Combined with my GFO reactor and I had a happy tank in no time. I wish the kit had more reagents, but if i had a controlled tank I wouldn't have had to check so many times :). Great product but be very careful with the vials to ensure they are CLEAN and scratch free prior to running your tests. It could skew the results.
Needs more reagent packets By David on 7/30/2014David would recommend this product to a friendI have no issue with the checker or its accuracy (it works great) the only issue I had was that it only came with 6 reagents. for those that like to test on a regular basis I suggest you buy some with the initial order. besides that its awesome.
a product that gets you a phosphate reading you can trust By Ricky on 7/16/2014Ricky would recommend this product to a friendI like a lot of people have a hard time telling with certainty what the phosphate reading is with the liquid or even titration tests. No more guessing with this tester.
great but a little tricky By Jonathan on 7/16/2014Jonathan would recommend this product to a friendIt took me a few times to learn. I use both test tubes, makes the testing easier. Make sure to wipe off glass test tube even small print can mess up the test. Apart from that great.
very accurate By swseipel on 7/6/2014swseipel would recommend this product to a friendThis meter is awesome. ..very accurate. Easy to use
Work great By Christopher Kirkland on 6/25/2014Christopher Kirkland would recommend this product to a friendVery accurate, does take some practice to get use to using it correctly. There are several youtube videos that help along with that. Love the tester.
Was a Fathers Day gift for my husband By Laura on 6/11/2014Laura would recommend this product to a friendWorks Great! My husband was actually excited when he DID get a phosphate reading with this test kit. Would like to suggest BRS add a suggested link to the refill reagent packets to buy with it so the customer can save a little on shipping as there are not that many reagent packets with this kit. Wish I had ordered the refills with it. Other than that, it is well worth it and I would recommend it highly to anyone who owns a tank.
Really only 6?!? By Gregory on 6/11/2014Gregory would recommend this product to a friendI guess it was my own fault that I didn't take the time to find any reviews stating only 6 reagents came with the checker. But on a good note you get some knock off battery included!
Ease of use but hope it's working properly By jasonandsarah on 5/27/2014jasonandsarah would recommend this product to a friendI love how easy this is to use! I've used many different test kits but this is the easiest by far. My only worry is that I hadn't run gfo in a few weeks when I received my phosphate checker and it still read 000? It wasn't blinking so it wasn't a error reading? I tested 3 times the first night just to be sure because I thought I'd get some kind of reading?
Easy to use, but be quick By Paul on 5/9/2014Paul would recommend this product to a friendThis meter is easy to use and you don't have to worry about figuring out which shade of blue you have against a chart. I have yet to run multiple test on the same water to check consistency, so I can't say anything to that effect. Only issue that prevented me from giving it 5 stars is the timeout. It will turn itself off after 3 minutes or so (to save battery) However when you do the first calibration, and then go to mix the reagent, if you get side tracked it will shut off and you'll miss the opportunity to run the test and have to start over. On occasion I ran the test all the way through, but got sidetracked waiting for the 3 minutes of testing and when i went to go check the result, it shut off. If using this product, I highly recommend not doing anything else to avoid the timeout.

how many test does this kit provide. Thanks.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Mark,
The phosphate checker itself comes with enough reagent for 5 tests. Reagent refills are sold in packs of 25 and can be found right here:
by Eric on June 19, 2014, @8:50 PM
Does this meter require periodic calibration with some kind of calibration solution?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Eric,
One of the first steps every time you test is to zero out the meter, then you add reagent and test the actual sample. This is done every test but It does not require any sort of extra calibration procedure on top of that.

Here's a movie about a journalist. I dunno. I got nothing else.
True story, though.
Shattered Glass (2003)
Netflix description:
"This fact-based film depicts the rise and fall of disgraced journalist Stephen Glass, who was a staff writer at The New Republic and contributed stories to Rolling Stone and other magazines. Glass fabricated many of his stories, which led to his downfall. A Forbes.com technology reporter uncovered the truth about Glass's deception."
So, this hot-shot young reporter (Hayden Christensen) lands a big-time job at some hoity-toity political magazine in Washington DC. He starts submitting a bunch of hilarious and bizarre feature stories about things like hacker conventions and frat boy Republican debauchery. Young Stephen is so charming and just smart as a whip! EVERYONE loves him! That is, until it turns out that he's been making all of this crap up.
What follows is a fascinating film about an editor's work to uncover all of Stephen's fabrications and expose them. Here we see a tale about the dangers of getting too emotionally attached to coworkers and the problems that come with a boss who's all buddy-buddy with his underlings. Stephen is able to pull some big ones over on his editors at first because they just trust him too much. Even when suspicions are aroused, Stephen's fellow reporters rush to his defense. No one wants to believe that he's a manipulative liar.
Plenty of drama to be found in this movie, and great acting on all fronts (I especially liked Peter Sarsgaard as the editor who finally busts Glass -- he's always cool). I've known fellers like Stephen Glass, and they're all the same. Hayden Christensen does a surprisingly good job of portraying one. Maybe I'm biased in being particularly drawn into this film, seeing as how I'm a reporter, but I think most folks ought to enjoy this picture, anyway. Oh, and it's all a true story.
4 out of 5.

Torchlight 2 Announced, Packing MultiplayerTorchlight developer Runic Games has announced a sequel to its fine action RPG, which will be released for download in 2011 complete with multiplayer support.

More importantly, online and LAN multiplayer arrives complete with a "free peer-to-peer matchmaking service to meet new players of a similar level and interest."
Modding is bolstered by an updated version of the Torchlight editor 'TorchEd' as well as support for playing mods cooperatively. Other exciting new things include "all new character classes" with "cosmetic" and "gender" choices.
Torchlight II will be released "initially as a digital download" in Spring 2011 on unannounced platforms. For reference, Torchlight was released for PC and Mac.
Runic is also working on a free-to-play Torchlight MMO.

Detroit firefighter John Johnson spends his days and nights helping people. Yet, when his son was run over while crossing the street, the driver didn't even stop."It was the roughest thing I've had to hear, my own child," said Johnson.It happened on Detroit's west side on January 3. Sergeant Johnson's 16-year-old son, Patrick, was crossing the street when he slipped on a patch of ice and was hit by a car. His body was dragged, and the driver never stopped.The impact broke bones and lacerated organs throughout Patrick's body. For now, he is confined to a wheelchair. Johnson is a single dad. He has been forced to take time off from the job he loves to care for the son he loves even more."He's real strong-willed. Actually, during the therapy, he's too strong. He tries to overdo it," Johnson said.Being away from work means no paycheck. That is tough for any family to bear, let alone one led by a single parent. The Johnsons have a second family they depend on. Firefighters from Detroit and beyond are reaching out to show their support by helping this family make ends meet."I'm used to doing stuff for other guys, and now it's being done for me. It's a big weight off my shoulders having them deal with things that I don't really have the mindset to deal with now because my main focus in on Patrick. So it's a big relief to have them, " said Johnson.Detroit firefighters are holding a fundraiser for the Johnson family. It will be Saturday at 3:00 p.m. at the Axemen Motorcycle Club, located at 8480 South Street in Detroit. Donations can be made out to Axemen M/C. Please write "in care of Mr. John Johnson" on the check.

My gosh this story is horrifying! That poor dog! I hope there's a followup to show him running around happily once he's lost the weight.
As for human food? Yes I feed my dog human food: pieces of chicken, ground turkey, beef, etc. I mix in some meat with her meals on occasion and she loves it. But do I feed her unhealthy human food? No. She's a lean 50 pounds, you can sort of feel her ribs (admittedly this is harder when your dog has a thick coat, but I can tell they're there even through all that hair), and she has a nice waist and tuck-up. I may be overweight, but I keep a close eye on my dog's weight and keep her healthy. I want her to be with me as long as she can!

We usually eat everything on our plates (house rules...take less and get more if you are still hungry), but we let our dog lick our 'empty' plates so he gets a taste and feels like we are sharing. He does a lovely job prepping the plates for the dishwasher! Of course, we don't eat junk food ourselves, so neither does he!
Submitted by Rabbit Hill | June 28 2011 | Permalink
I feed "human" food from time to time, however, I also make sure her doggie treats only have ingredients that I would eat myself. So if I wouldn't eat it, I don't feed it to her. The same goes for her kibble. I have tried some of her treats before, but I don't find them especially tasty, so I am just glad that she does. :)

The human food we feed our dogs are: carrots, apples, blueberries, an occasional strawberry, cantaloupe, watermelon, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, an occasional spoonful of cottage cheese or plain yogurt, rice, and chicken.
Chicken and rice are used when they are having digestive upset to settles their guts. Any of these can be added to the organic grain free dog kibble they eat for main meals or given as treats.
Of course we never give anything in the onion family, cucumbers, or grapes - all of which are toxic to dogs.

I feed my dogs a homemade raw diet, and while I'm a vegetarian, I'd have to say, yes, they eat human food!

OMG, what is wrong with people? That poor dog.

The only human food Max gets (purposely) is a tiny piece of chicken or fish. Nothing fried and lightly seasoned. But while I'm cooking- if it hits the floor he is on top of before can tell him 'no!'. He is half chihuahua, so he gets porky fast!

Labradors can be food "monsters"! I am very careful with what they eat and How much they eat. My sisters and I all have Labradors, one says, a lab believes winter is always coming :)

Mine are fed raw/home cooked, but any suitable leftovers get turned into treats or incorporated in their meals. For some reason they are particularly fond of green beans! With a papillon and a toy poodle I am very, very careful not to overdo it though.

Our dogs get leftover plain cooked rice, vegetables if there are any and an occasional "pizza-bone" or crust. We view table food as treats or "dessert" if you will rather than a staple in their diet. In moderation and not dripping with butter or sauces we see nothing wrong with the leftovers we choose to give them. Bailey is 11 and Sparky 3, neither of them are overweight and have just received clean bills of health from the vet.
I read somewhere that owners who say their pooch only eats people food have been well-trained by their dog!

Asian Studies
In the Asian Century, the task of understanding the region is vital to the future. Understanding Asia relies on gaining a foundation in the major civilizational traditions, as well as in the issues of contemporary culture and society. In the Asian Studies program we introduce and identify major cultural, historical, social and political trends and issues, including ethnicity and mobility (or diaspora); the major religions and belief systems (particularly Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam); other trans-regional trends, including economic and political relationships between Asia and other parts of the world (for example forms of imperialism); major political and social developments and movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and their effects (e.g. nationalism, revolution, military rule, democracy); and mass or popular culture (including topics such as manga and K-Pop).
There are five theme areas that constitute our core concerns or focuses of teaching. These themes are particularly taught in relation to China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and South Asia.
Politics, Economics and Environment
History and the Present
Religion and Philosophy
Arts, Culture and Media
Society, Gender and Sexuality
Asian Studies is taught in English, and draws on the cutting-edge research being carried out by academic staff of the program. Language units of study cannot be counted towards the Asian Studies major, however you are strongly encouraged to the study an Asian language in conjunction with Asian Studies units.
Major outline

Junior units of study (1000 level):

Junior units provide essential background knowledge and intellectual skills necessary for a more advanced study of Asia.

Senior units of study (2000 and 3000 level):
A minimum of 18 credit points must to be chosen from core ASNS units of study.

Senior-advanced units (3000 level) provide advanced knowledge drawing on a more theoretical framework to consolidate forms of knowledge and skills developed in previous years. To complete a major in Asian Studies you will need to take at least 6 credit points of core units at 3000 level.

Or, "What is a microwave actually GOOD at cooking?"
Edit: This is not about saving labour. It's about a microwave being a unique and interesting cooking method, that has to be good for something.
I'm not interested in "Almost as good" I'm interested in indistinguishable or better.
Part of that indistinguishable could, of course, be labour saving, as in pre-cooking a baked potato.

text: Seattle Information When you visit Seattle Destination Routes Etihad Offices Facts Seattle Do & See Dining Essential Information Progressive and yet laid back, Seattle offers a wide range of entertainment, live music and family fun for all to enjoy.Called The Emerald City, Seattle is the largest city in the Northwest United States and is home to the iconic Space Needle, the famous Pike Place Market and the new Chihuly Garden and Glass. Noted as the birthplace of grunge music and serious coffee shops (Starbucks and Tully's), Seattle is far sunnier than its reputation as a rainy city. In fact, Seattle receives less rain than many major U.S. cities including New York and Miami. Seattle is a green city with an abundance of evergreen trees and spectacular views of the Cascade Mountains to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Facts Population 616,500 Currency US Dollar, $1 = 100 cents Opening hours Most stores are open all week 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. or later. Most bars and clubs close around 2 a.m. Newspapers Seattle Times Seattle Weekly Washington Free Press Tourist information Visit Seattle 701 Pike Street Lobby of the Washington State Convention Center Seattle, WA 98101 (866) 732-2695 or (206) 461-5840 email@example.com Open Monday through Friday and summer weekends, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The uniqueness of Seattle is the combination of a metropolitan city, a collection of neighborhoods each with its own personality and a natural setting of lakes and mountains. In Seattle, you can kayak by day and go to the opera at night. Local tourism officials describe the city as "metronatural." Yet, the entire city shares a collective vibe that is casual, educated, and forward-thinking.Sitting between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, the city's shoreline offers piers, waterside attractions and a variety of water tours. Mount Ranier, the highest mountain in Washington, is less than 60 miles away and on a clear day it dominates the southeastern horizon of Seattle. About the same distance north of the city sits Mount Baker, one of the snowiest places in the world.Technology has emerged as a major influence on local culture. The Seattle-area is home to companies like Amazon.com and Microsoft (in nearby Redmond). Boeing is also a major local employer, and visitors can tour the factory where they build and test their aircraft. One of the city's most popular attractions, The Museum of Flight, highlights aviation and space history. For those visiting Seattle for the first time, taking a tour is a great way to get a feel for the local history and attractions. Seattle offers a variety of ways to explore and enjoy the city. A Seattle Double Decker Tour is an easy way to see the best sites of Seattle. Hop on or off at any attraction, or ride the entire loop for a complete tour. A lake cruise will give a uniquely different view of the city and its waters. Some lake tours offer dining options to enjoy while you take in spectacular waterfront views. Or, you can enjoy Seattle from both land and water on a one-of-a-kind Duck Tour aboard a WWII amphibious landing craft. Whichever you choose, a tour is a perfect, family-friendly way to explore the many sights, sounds and attractions of Seattle.In addition to the Space Needle, Seattle's most recognizable landmark, visitors should be sure to include a visit to the world renowned Seattle Art Museum (called SAM by locals). Popular outdoor activities include whale watching tours, winery visits and the 270-foot waterfall at Snoqualmie Falls is a shutter-bug's delight. Top off any day in Seattle with a wide choice of museums, live music venues and neighborhood coffee shops. Space Needle Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle is 605 feet high with an observation deck at 520 feet and the rotating SkyCity restaurant at 500 feet.

Men's adidas Originals Lifestyle Apparel
Firebird Track Pants

Size Chart
+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mark Upstate New York Adidas Firebird Track Pants [cardinal] LOVE the following: Soft durable fabric. A little extra length in the legs. ZIPPER on the pockets (no more losing my cell phone when i sit down!). ZipUP ankles (no bell-bottoms on this style). Medium inseam, ideal for lean men, like myself. Great color options. FREE standard 4-7 day shipping. THANK YOU: for upgrading my shipping, automatically, to 2-DAY FED-EX! There are no stores within 100 miles of Albany , NY. Unfortunately, the selection of Adidas merchandise is poor, in my local ahtletic apparel stores that do carry your brand. I hate shipping costs! (discourages me from online shopping) BUT you made it easy & affordable. Thanks again! (I'll be back for more) February 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Best Pants!!! Definitely Worth the Money!! I was pretty skeptical at first as to how these pants would fit, but they turned out to fit perfectly. I bought these along with the track top (that also fits perfect). I am short (5' 5") and the small fits me perfectly. I usually wear a 30x30 in jeans or 31x30 in skinny jeans and these fit snug...not too tight, not too loose. The length is just right. I do not step on them when I walk. They fall just right. If you are sketchy about buying these. Get them!!! They are comfortable enough to lounge around in or wear to class and fresh enough to wear out and about and chill. Hope this helps. February 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Adidaz Firebird Track Pants Ordered both the Firebird Track Jacket and Pants Black with Gold Stripes and it included free shipping via Fedex home delivery within 3 bus. days! The matching tracksuit looks COOL ;) The pants fit well, not too tight and not too baggy. It has dual zippered side pockets in front of the stripes and dual zippers from ankle to mid-calf :) Inseam for Large Mens size is ~31.5 - 32 inches. All it was missing was a rear zippered pocket! Can't comment on the durability but the tricot polyester seems fine. Fabric seems to be meant for warmer weather, not cold weather, as it's relative light though the tricot does have a slight brushed fleece-like interior so it can be worn in relatively milder weather. The waistband rope seems somewhat fragile so I hope the fabric and rope stands up to wear and tear and general cleaning. The price is relatively expensive but got a coupon for 15% off for the entire order ;) May 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by L.T. Track Pants I like the pants but Why don't you make them for tall guys??? IM 6'4" I have to buy XT then take them to a tailor to have the hem let out and some of the butt remove to get them to fit! And they are still not really long enough! Why it it the bigger the waist the longer the length ? Ive never seen a tall fat guy! February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Donvtw Favorite pants ever! I know that this is technically "active wear", but on a day off I literally live in these things. They are the ultimate lounge gear. They run a little big. I like my clothes to fit slim and not baggy. I wear a size 33 in Levi's and I wear a small in these pants. I don't wear a small in anything else. But they fit perfect. I don't walk on the bottoms, and they stay where they need to be. The black and gold are awesome! Couldn't be happier. January 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Brandthman great pants for weekend work out or lounge I didn't buy these online but, I bought the light grey and white ones, their great! I usally wear 32X32 in jeans so the small was great not to tight or loose, the medium was loose and a bit baggy so I would go down a size. Agreed you don't walk on them! this is a great buy! April 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bruce Most Comfortable Track Pants I've ever had These old school Track Pants are a great casual, ready-to-go type you can never go wrong with. the material is very smooth and very comfortable. I like how it compliments my matching superstar 2 shoes. These are cut kind of long, so make sure you try them on before you buy them. Other than that, great to have when you are going out on the town. May 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Hiro Super comfortable! These pants are both stylish and comfy. I was actually pleased with them, despite it making me look a little shorter (I got size large, which is usually my size, and length-wise was too short). The only downside to the pants that I have is that you have to buy them separately. March 21, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by electrix nice but zipper comfortable pants i loved it beacuse it had zipper pockets BUT one of the zippers broken after one useage. July 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by STRAUBS My Wife loves them I love my pants, but it helps to buy the shorts so you don"t see your underwear underneath. My wife owns a women's clothing store and tells me I look like a dork, but I think she secretly loves them. All my friends love them and I am purchasing a pair for one of them for his 40th bday.

Wetlands as carbon sinks. An article by Melanie Lenart in the recent Nature Reports on climate change (26 November) discusses the unappreciated role of wetlands in carbon storage, using the Olentangy River Wetlands Research Park in Ohio (USA) as an illustrative case, and the need for recognition of that role in the upcoming Copenhagen climate change debates. Various collaborators in the Ramsar Convention's efforts to promote this message, such as William Mitsch, the Olentangy Park's director, and Susanna Tol of Wetlands International, explain the rationale for advocating the inclusion of wetlands in carbon credit schemes and urge that wetlands be included in the Copenhagen negotiating text.

Turkey names 13th Ramsar site. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry has designated Lake Kuyucuk (Kuyucuk Gölü) (416 hectares, 40°45'N 043°27'E) as Turkey's 13th Wetland of International Importance. As summarized by Nadezhda Alexeeva from the RIS, this Wildlife Reserve is one of the most important wetlands of Kars province in northeastern Turkey – the freshwater stream- and spring-fed lake is surrounded by treeless steppe and sparse Phragmites reed patches, and the area may be typical of what much of the Anatolian Steppe grassland-wetland community used to consist of before widespread degradation of its water bodies over the past several hundred years.
