In its 5-4 decision on Monday barring prosecutors from enforcing the Child Online Protection Act, the Supreme Court inched somewhat closer to clarifying two problem areas -- pornography and the Internet -- that are vexing enough in themselves and doubly so when joined together.
COPA was passed in 1998, a year in which Congress seemed determined to construct explicit parameters for a society in flux. (Another case in point was that year's Defense of Marriage Act, which attempted to define the institution as exclusively heterosexual.) The Child Online Protection Act made it a crime to publish "any communication for commercial purposes that includes sexual material that is harmful to minors, without restricting access to such material by minors." It defined "harmful to minors" as lacking "scientific, literary, artistic, or political value" and invoked local "community standards." COPA provided a maximum penalty of $50,000, along with six months in prison and additional civil fees.
Predictably, the act faced immediate litigation from the A.C.L.U. and other groups, and it ultimately met with an appeals-court injunction staying enforcement. It was that earlier ruling which the high court met to consider. The majority opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, was joined in by justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg, John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter, and Clarence Thomas. That's two liberals, two centrists, and an archconservative, and what these justices essentially argued was that, pending a full trial to adjudicate the issues, a filtering system might be preferable to criminal sanctions.
In other words, technology can resolve the issue better than snoops and lawyers. That's an interesting variation on the old "hair-of-the-dog-that-bit-you" remedy. It's a novel idea and worth a try.

When you find the BEST, the ULTIMATE, the TO-DIE-FOR chocolate cake…it's a good day! I can't believe I haven't shared this recipe with all you fine people until now! This recipe is THE MOST REQUESTED DESSERT when my siblings come to visit. It is the cake we hide in the cupboard until all the kids are asleep and the adults stay up late, talking and eating cake. If there are any leftovers after we are sliding into our chocolate stupor…we hide them and sneak-eat them for breakfast. This is the cake my healthy-fit-iron-pumping-calorie-conscious brother cannot resist. YES people, this is the ULTIMATE chocolate cake! It is made with butter which makes it rich, dense and chocolaty. If you want SUPER dark chocolate cake you can use DARK cocoa powder. This is an amazing option which makes it almost black it is so dark. You can use any frosting you like. I am sharing our favorite Ganache frosting which is semi sweet and rich. Delish!
The Ultimate Chocolate Cake Recipe
Just-so-you-know…There is a popular restaurant who is famous for their chocolate cake which is similar to this. But…I'm not going to lie…this is BETTER! Their "famous" cake is a bit dry in comparison and they use lame frosting…probably because they make their cake in bulk. They sell huge hunks of cake in trendy boxes with snazzy trademarked ribbon and it is definitely good…but…not THE ULTIMATE. THIS.RECIPE.IS.THE.ULTIMATE. Yes, since it is not my original recipe I will shamelessly go on and on. Lucky for all of us, my good friend Brandy D. was kind enough to share her recipe! It has been a FAMILY ULTIMATE FAV for several years! ENJOY!!
Love and CHOCOLATE BLISS,
Amy J
Let's get cooking!
Combine dry ingredients.
Stir together melted butter and cocoa powder. NOTE the bent whisk…this is courtesy of my youngest kiddo who thinks any and all kitchen utensils are swords and should be used to hit things. I love this pic…it reminds me of him running around in the backyard, in his bathing suit, slashing my bushes with this whisk. That is my busy-crazy-hectic-fun life my friends! Non-stop action! 🙂
Beat eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until combined.
Note…this whisk is not bent…somehow this one flew under the radar!
Then mix wet and dry ingredients together EXCEPT THE BOILING WATER.
Once everything is combined, stir in 1 cup boiling water. Mixture will be thin.
Bake at 350 degrees in a greased 9X13 pan for 40 minutes.
While the cake is baking. Let's make the Ganache Frosting!
Microwave cream for a minute or two to bring it to a boil. Stir in chocolate chips.
Stir until smooth and glossy. Pour over warm cake. DELISH!
ULTIMATE Chocolate Cake
THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE! This even beats down the "famous" chocolate cake sold by the slice in a popular restaurant! This is dark, dense, rich, and oh so chocolaty! To-die-for! DELISH!

Privacy Feature in New Handset from Sharp
24 October 2006 by axxxr
If you like privacy while useing your phone in public then try the "Veil View" feature that has been introduced by Sharp in its latest handset the W41SH.This feature works simlier to privacy filters on laptops only this is much better.
The veil view works on a simple concept, that of having the visible view on the display restricted only to a particular angle.Better yet, anyone outside the viewing angle will be able to see a special design that is pre-selected by the user instead of the data on the screen. Four different types of patterns are available to keep voyeurs at bay. The veiled view may also be switched off upon the users discretion. Product Page source:phoneyworld

Mother's day is coming up! What are you doing for Mother's day? Are you taking her out for dinner? Making her breakfast in bed? Maybe it's just my family, but holidays and special occasions where one would normally get a gift for their mother are not celebrated in my household. But not for the reasons you'd think.
My mom is known for being an supermom. When I was growing up, she went to college, then she worked, all while raising me, cooking, cleaning, teaching, reading to me, going to every recital, driving me to every flute/dance/piano/swimming lesson, and making sure that my tights and bodysuit were clean for every class. She did my hair differently every day and she was always happy to just spend time with me.
See? Supermom.
This continued even after she had my brother, and when I went off to university, she called me almost every day. She worried about me, helped me when I asked for cooking tips, and listened when I needed to rant about something. My mom was and continues to be always there for me.
She always gives me the better half. I remember when I moved into a new apartment, I was going to take my old computer chair. It was blue, not very supportive, and kinda falling apart. But she said no, and she ordered me a brand new one even when she needed it for herself. She always saved me the best part of anything, be it the tastiest part of our dinner, the best seat in the row, or the best clothing (we're almost the same size) my mom always put her children before her.
So when I want to do something special for her on her birthday or Mother's day, she just says, "Oh no, I don't want anything, I just want you to be there," I have a fit of exasperation.
Yes, before the age of 18, if I bought my mother anything it'd really just be me spending money that she had given me, so she'd just be buying a present for herself, but even now when I'm on my own, she keeps giving and not taking.
Finally I just asked, "MOM. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO BAKE YOU FOR MOTHER'S DAY?!"
"Nothing! We're going to make bánh cuốn on Sunday, so just be there!"
After a little bit of convincing, she said I could make her a card.
Mom, I know you read this.
If I can't buy you anything, at least let me bake you something?
I love you. =)
Skinny Chocolate Milkshake
- - 1 overripe banana, frozen
- - 1 1/4 cup skim milk
- - 1 oz semi-sweet chocolate (I used Baker's chocolate, but a 28 g chocolate bar works too)
- - 4 ice cubes
- Roughly chop the chocolate and microwave for 30 second intervals (stirring in between) until melted.
- Add about 3 tbsp of milk and stir into the melted chocolate. Repeat until the chocolate mix is room temperature.
- Once all the chocolate is completely incorporated into the milk, add the rest of the milk and stir.
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
You can add some chocolate chips if you want a little extra treat, but leave em out if you want this to stay "skinny" =P
To make this vegan, just make sure you use a dairy-free chocolate, and use whatever milk alternative your heart desires!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. — A search and rescue team said it found a body believed to be an Illinois man who had been reported missing.
They found the body Friday morning west of Keplinger's Couloir at 12,600 feet in elevation, in extremely steep, rugged terrain. Recovery efforts will begin Saturday.
The Boulder County Coroner will make official identification after completion of an autopsy.
A family member notified park rangers on Tuesday that Jens "Jay" Yambert, 60, of Urbana, Illinois, was overdue.
A statement from Rocky Mountain National Park said Yambert is believed to have started from the Longs Peak Trailhead at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 26.
His rental car was found at the trail head Tuesday night after park staff were notified by his family that he was overdue.
It was unknown what Yambert's planned destination or route was. After learning about the search for Yambert, park staff heard from visitors who saw Yambert on Monday morning, August 27, along the Keyhole Route. Visitors indicated that the weather was poor with ice, sleet, rain, and strong winds.
An extensive ground and aerial search for Yambert began Wednesday.

"The holidays are a happy time, right?
Typically, yes. But not for law-firm managers this year.
Today, we were sent the latest Citi Private Bank Law Firm Group "managing partner confidence index." The reports, issued quarterly, give a quick-and-dirty snapshot into how managing partners at the nation's largest law firms are feeling about things.
According to the index released Thursday, confidence is limp. Managing partners don't seem to feel very good about either the economy at large or the business conditions facing law firms.
And that sour news follows five straight quarters of surging confidence, according to Citi.
"Law firm managing partners are exhibiting a sense of uncertainty about the strength of the recovery, and in turn, the legal market and their own firms' financial outlook," Citi report . . . " Full story on WSJ.

John Freeman on interviewing novelists
Former Granta editor John Freeman has an interview history that could make the most experienced journalist jealous. During the past 13 years, he's talked with novelists from Norman Mailer to Toni Morrison.
His latest book, "How to Read a Novelist," is a collection of the 55 best profiles.
"The only thing an interviewer can do to capture what a novelist truly does is to make them talk and tell stories, and think aloud," he writes in his book.
From The Seattle Times review:
He is good at getting writers to open up, including press-shy types like the late David Foster Wallace and John Irving, who we learn has built a "full-size wrestling arena" onto his massive Vermont home.
Some of the collection's best moments come when the writers discuss the finer points of their own work (in the same way The Paris Review's "Art of Fiction" interviews can be so fascinating).
Toni Morrison is particularly elucidating on this front. "The language has to have its own music," she tells Freeman. "I don't mean ornate because I want it to work with no sound, while you read it. Still, it has to have that spoken quality: It's oral — a blend of standard English and the vernacular street language."
Freeman joins The Daily Circuit to discuss the art of interviewing novelists.
Read an excerpt from his book here.

With summer pretty much half over and autumn setting in soon, you might be wondering about potential holidays you can take with the family over the coming months as the mercury drops and the seasons change. Winter getaways are great in the sense that they can include either snow based fun or beach getaways in far flung tropical locales and everything in between. If you're trying to think of great family getaways for the winter months, look no further than some of these great suggestions.
City Breaks
You might think city breaks should just be for summer, but they can be just as great in the winter time too. Especially if you plan your trip to coincide with the various Christmas Markets that litter European cities throughout Germany, Austria and even down into Balkan countries like Croatia. In fact, Zagreb's Christmas Market has been voted Europe's best for the third year running. Winter in may European cities is a great option to get away from the doldrums of the cold weather in your own town or city, and in fact many cities around the world take on a new image in winter months when dusted with snow and decorated with glittering lights. For truly beautiful European cities in the winter check out the likes of Prague, Munich, Vienna and Rome. If you're on a budget consider trekking a bit further east and into the likes of Romania and Bulgaria, but bundle up – the further you get from the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans the colder it will get.
Ski Holidays
If you and the family are active and love going on holidays that allow you to get out and take part in a number of different activities, consider one of many family ski holidays. Holidays of this nature are hugely popular throughout the Alps region including France, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Austria. This region is home to numerous ski resorts that can help you plan the best family ski getaway in years, especially considering the resorts are rated specifically to skill and experience, so everyone will be sure to be catered for. For mixed skills, consider a resort with a bit of everything for everyone in terms of hill rating. Even if someone in the family isn't that into skiing, there are countless apres ski options in every resort including bars, restaurants and various other options for nightlife and non-ski activity. Don't delay – with the season starting soon, you will want to get your booking in as soon as possible, especially if you're hoping to spend Christmas or New Year on the slopes.
Beachy Destinations
Of course when the temperatures drop and the winter coats come out of the attic, you might start wishing for a beach holiday and warm summer weather again. Taking off to a beach destination in the likes of the Caribbean can be a great way to beat the winter blues with many of the islands hosting visitors year round from both North America and Europe looking to get a bit of sun, sea and sand in. The Caribbean isn't the only place that one can escape the winter in North America or Europe though. If you want something a bit closer to home, why not consider somewhere such as the Azores, Canary Islands, Mauritius, Maldives or Cape Verde. That doesn't even include the fantastic beaches of South East Asia, either!
Something Further Afield
Heading out on family holidays doesn't need to be in your own backyard and in fact, the winter can be a great time to head to the likes of Canada to experience some of their truly unique winter culture, especially in Quebec. From skating on the St Lawrence River beneath the commanding and impressive Chateau Frontenac to sampling winter delicacies such as tire sur la neige – warm, fresh maple syrup drizzled on snow – you can find a lot of interesting winter-based activities to do in Canada in the cold months. You can try your hand at snowshoeing, dog sledding and other activities, take in a couple of hockey games or even just enjoy the winter wonderland that the whole of the country turns into come November, December and January.
If Canada is a bit far for you, why not consider the likes of Scandinavia for a winter getaway. Popular for those seeking out the Northern Lights, it's a great option for those who want something truly special. Stay in one of Finland's glass roof hotels that allow you clear views of the night sky so you can watch the lights dance across the darkness in the warmth and comfort of your own chalet, or take a hike through some of the famous Norwegian fjords. Either way, winter based countries make for the best holidays in the snowy times as they really know how to enjoy the weather.
The Southern Hemisphere
If you're stuck for ideas on where to go in the winter months and you don't fancy the cold and snow, consider heading to the southern hemisphere. With dozens of countries to choose from in the southern hemisphere, the sky is almost literally the limit. Choose from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the countries of South America and more for a truly exciting family getaway to a far flung, exotic destination. With so many great options to pick from, it's no wonder so many people choose to head to the southern hemisphere in the winter to escape those winter blues.
If you're looking for something truly unique and cultural, why not try out one of the African nations below the equator – particularly Tanzania, Mozambique or Botswana – all of which are great options depending on what you want. If you want to experience some of the most amazing wonders the world has to offer though, head to Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation area where you can experience life in the crater of a volcano as well as go on safari at the nearby Serengeti reserve or even challenge yourself physically by climbing Africa's highest peak, Kilimanjaro. With Zanzibar off the coast of the mainland as well, it's easy to get to some of the world's best beaches and island life as well, with just a short flight from Dar Es Salaam, the capital. So if you're looking for a great winter escape, Tanzania has it all.
Whether you want to hit the slopes or hit the beach in the winter there are numerous options for great family getaways that will allow you and yours to create the best in family memories to last a lifetime. Regardless of what options you choose, you can rest assured that your option will be the talk of the family for years to come!

CRP has designed and supplied many different types of special sight glasses. We can supply tubular sight glass types with the same stainless steel tie rod cage and heavy wall borosilicate glass as our range of CTSG sight glasses but with specially manufactured flange ends to suit customer connection requirements. For higher working pressures we can supply lined fully lined steel constructions with elongated borosilicate glass windows or windows at each end. Liners are bonded in position and are suitable for use under full vacuum.
The flange ends are designed to suit the customers connection requirements, typically the steel is fully lined to all wetted parts in injection moulded PFA, manipulated PTFE or bonded FEP liners. The use of these fluoropolymers coupled with the borosilicate glass gives excellent corrosion resistance to nearly all organic and inorganic chemicals. The 360 degree view area makes process reaction viewing very easy.
By utilising a steel housing and bonding a fluoropolymer sheet lining to this higher working pressures can be obtained. The trade off to this is that the viewing window areas are reduced. All sight glasses are supplied fully assembled and tested with design calculations to prove their integrity.

Parents ask plenty of questions before their children visit other homes. "Do you have any cats? My daughter is allergic to cat dander." Or "Do you have filters set up on your computer? Our son has been known to stumble onto some websites we don't want him to see." "Will you be serving anything with peanut butter? My child has a peanut allergy." There is another question that parents need to ask, one important enough that it could save a child's life: "Is there an unlocked gun in your house?"
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence feel so strongly about the question that they created a campaign to encourage parents to ask it. The campaign actually is called ASK, for Asking Saves Kids.
Consider These Statistics:
- 1 in 3 homes with children in the United States have guns.
- 42% of parents with guns keep at least one unlocked.
- 3 out of 4 children ages 5-14 know where firearms are kept in their homes.
I know that the question may seem awkward, but it doesn't have to be if it is asked just like any other safety question about children. I recommend that parents try this approach: "I have a question that I ask whenever my child visits a new house. Do you have any guns in the home? If you do, are they stored unloaded and locked up? Is the ammunition locked in a separate place? My child is just so curious, and I worry about what he would do if he found a weapon."
You may notice that's more than one question. I think all of them are worth thinking about and should be answered. This is not about politics, and it is not a judgment of gun ownership. This is about child safety. All responsible owners of guns agree that child safety around guns is important.
Remember, Asking Saves Kids. For more information about the project and news about events, visit www.bradyunited.org/program/end-family-fire/asking-saves-kids.

Thermometer Calibration Services
NIST Traceable
ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited
Our lab is accredited by the A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025-2005 and ANSI/NCSL Z-540-1-1994. Your ISO 9000 (series) or other quality program in most cases recognize this accreditation and can accept our calibrations without the burden of conducting site audits or quality surveys.
What does thermometer recalibration entail?
Your instrument will be examined under magnification for any chips, scratches, impurities in the bore or other defects which may impair its function.
Any separations of the liquid will be repaired without charge.
If the etchings are faded, the scale will be repainted without charge.
Your instrument will be compared to NIST traceable reference standards at the test points you specify, in accordance with appropriate ASTM and NIST test methods. A new NIST Traceable certificate of calibration will be issued, valid for the period of time that you specify. This certificate meets the requirements of ISO 17025, ANSI-NCSLI Z540.1, ISO 9000, and virtually all regulatory authorities.
A durable calibration sticker will be affixed to your thermometer with the date of calibration, recalibration due date and other appropriate information .
The instruments are our responsibility on return shipment to you. We pack them extremely well. If any are damaged in transit to you, you will receive a prompt, no charge PRIORITY replacement. No questions, no hassle.
Your instrument(s) will be registered in our Customer Registration database. This will enable us to inform you in writing one month before the expiration of your calibration certificate that recalibration is due, and permit us to keep you abreast of any changes in industry regulations which may affect your calibration.
Why is it necessary to have my calibrated thermometer re-calibrated?
When a thermometer is heated, the liquid within the bulb expands and is forced upward into the capillary where its level indicates the temperature value. Each heating and cooling cycle imparts stress to the bulb. After repeated use, even the highest quality liquid in glass thermometer will experience a slight change in bulb volume due to this expansion and contraction. When this change takes place, the indication of the thermometer will also change. Recalibration of the certified thermometer updates the indications and thus allows the user to maintain accurate, reliable and consistent results when making temperature measurements.
When your instrument is calibrated, it is compared to NIST certified primary master standards at the test points specified by the customer or ICL, in accordance to ASTM and NIST test methods.
A new NIST Traceable certificate of calibration will be issued, valid for the period of time that you specify. This certificate meets the requirements of ISO/IEC Guide 25, ISO/IEC 17025, the FDA, the EPA, and the ISO 9000 & QS 9000 series of quality standards. Sample Calibration Report.
Recalibration at regular intervals to document traceability to NIST is an important part of most quality programs such as the ISO 9000 series of quality standards.
How often should my thermometer be recalibrated?
This is a complex question. Consideration should be given to the frequency of use, the temperatures at which it is used, and the requirements of the regulatory agencies and/or the quality system you may be using. In general, for most laboratory and industrial applications a recalibration interval of one year is considered reasonable and prudent, however you should choose a recalibration interval which satisfies your quality system and then be sure to adhere to it. Most ISO 9000 series programs are using a one year recalibration interval. More info
How do I arrange for my thermometer to be recalibrated?
Simply fill out a recalibration form and send it to us with your thermometers.
If you do not have facilities to safely package your glass thermometers, we will loan you a case for shipping (no charge). Fax or email us the recalibration form, (be sure to check the 'Please send me a shipping case!' option), and indicate the length of each thermometer. We will send you via UPS a reusable shipping case into which you place the instruments (we'll include instructions), snap the case closed, affix the supplied return label, and ship it back to us via the carrier of your choice. Your instruments will be returned to you, with calibration reports, in standard packaging.
I have an upcoming audit. What's the turn-around time?
Normally 5 to 7 working days at our facility. If you have an emergency, let us know and we will make certain your deadline is met.
We also offer a wide variety of NEW NIST Traceable calibrated thermometers, ASTM, SAMA and others, available for immediate shipment at competitive prices.

Via the Facebook page of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, Sierra Leone:
• 133 patients have survived the disease and have been discharged from the treatment centers in Kenema and Kailahun.
• The cumulative number of Laboratory confirmed cases are 518 and 181 confirmed deaths
• Seventy-three (73) patients are currently admitted at the treatment centers in Kenema and Kailahun
• Our Hero, father, friend and brother Dr. Shiekh Umarr Khan has been laid to rest today at the Kenema Lassa Fever Hospital ground, which has been renamed Shiekh Umarr Khan Lassa Fever Hospital by the Mayor and people of Kenema District in appreciation for his dedication and service to the district and country at large. May his Soul Rest in Peace.
• The Minister of Health and Sanitation, the Chief Medical Officer and senior directors of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation are off to Conakry Guinea to harmonize the response plans with other Manor River Union member countries ahead of the meeting of Presidents of Manor River Union countries tomorrow to endorse and officially launch to harmonized plan. Today's meeting began with the technical session in the morning, followed by the ministerial meeting in the afternoon. The finalized plan will be presented at the Presidential meeting tomorrow for endorsement and official launch.
These confirmed numbers (518 cases, 181 deaths) do not match those of WHO, which in its update earlier today reports 473 confirmed cases and 195 deaths as of July 27. I have no idea why the numbers are discrepant.

Ultrasound-guided interventions are broadly applied in medical procedures, e.g. for regional anesthesia or ablation. . However, for a typical 2D ultrasound (US) system, bi-manual coordination of the needle and US transducer for maintaining the perfect alignment is challenging and an inadequate view of the tool leads to an erroneous placement. For this reason, medical specialists need considerable practicing and training to increase the success of interventions. Using a 3D transducer and an automated needle tracking device, the instrument is conveniently placed in the 3D field of view and the processing unit automatically localizes and visualizes the entire needle to the medical specialist. Recent developments in image-based needle detection are shown to be appealing as the important components and devices (e.g. needle, signal generation and transducer) of the system remain unaltered.
Image-based detection of the needle is investigated using supervised classification of voxels with hand-crafted features, convolutional neural networks and unsupervised localization of the needle planes. However, further improvements are still possible. These methods require extensive computational power and are not yet suitable for real-time applications. In order to increase the robustness of the needle detection system in challenging datasets and limit the computational complexity, novel processing techniques need to be investigated. Possible solutions include but not limited to:
- Novel pre-processing methods for improving ultrasound data quality and removing artifacts
- Investigating novel machine learning frameworks to robustly classify needle voxels in 3D
- Novel alternative configuration of US systems for needle detection in 3D
For this project, experience with either C++ or Python programming languages is a must.

Annual HBIC Playoff Pool
It took the rescheduled game today between the Boston Bruins and the Ottawa Senators to determine who would play whom in the Eastern Conference. I have a feeling that a lot of Canadian reporters are disappointed in missing out on a Montreal-Toronto first-round series, but kudos to Ottawa for going into Boston and winning. Because all the seedings are decided and teams are preparing for the second season, it means one thing will be happening here on HBIC. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your co-workers, and tell your fiercest rivals that the ALWAYS-FREE HBIC Playoff Pool officially opens for business tonight!
MAKE SURE YOU READ TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ENTRY FOR DETAILS! If it's an important piece of info, I have highlighted it in orange. Good? Good. Go.
Every year since the founding of HBIC, I have offered an absolutely-free hockey pool for my readers. There are prizes for those who perform well, and I am happy to do this for those of you who stop by here when you can. This year will be no exception as the pool will be free again, and there will be some great prizing available for those that rise above the rest.
- Entrants will be required to pick the winner of each game for each series. In doing so, one will also choose the number of games played by the two teams in each series.
- Entrants will be required to pick the game-winning goal scorer for each game.
- For each correctly-predicted team that wins the game, one point will be awarded.
- For correctly predicting the series length, two points will be awarded.
- For correctly predicting the series length AND winning team, five points will be awarded. If one correctly predicts the series length and winning team, the two-point option is overridden by the higher-scoring option.
- For predicting the player who scores the game-winning goal per game, that entrant will receive an additional two points per game per correctly-chosen player.
For the Pittsburgh-NY Isles series, I predict that Pittsburgh will win Games 1, 2, 4, and 6. The Islanders will win Games 3 and 5. I also predict that Chris Kunitz will score the game-winner in Game 1; Paul Martin in Game 2; Sidney Crosby in Game 4; and, Tyler Kennedy in Game 6. John Tavares will score New York's winner in Game 3 while Mark Streit will score the winner in Game 5.If I correctly predicted the entire series (highly improbable with my record of prognostications) of Pittsburgh winning in six games with all my game-winner scoring choices being right, I would earn 23 points (6 for each correct game + 5 for correctly predicting length and series winner + 12 for each game-winning goal scorer).
The catch to this whole thing is that no one will be eliminated until the Stanley Cup is handed out. With each new round beginning, each entrant will be required to send in their picks just as they did in the previous round. This way, everyone has a chance at some free shwag. And everyone loves free shwag.
TIE-BREAKERI would hazard a guess at there possibly being a tie between two or more people, so your tie-breaker, required at the start of the first round, is to name the team who will accumulate THE MOST PENALTY MINUTES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYOFFS. Those who are tied will have their answers reviewed, and the entrant who picked the team with the higher PIM total for the playoffs will be crowned as the winner. Secondary tie-breaker, in case two entrants pick the same team for PIMs, will be number of series correctly predicted in length of games. For example, if Entrant A picks Boston and Entrant B picks Detroit, and Boston has the higher PIM total, Entrant A would be the winner. If tied, the entrant who had the most series wins would be the winner.
COST TO ENTERThe best part of the HBIC Playoff Pool? It's FREE! Always has been, always will be. You guys support me all year, so I feel I should give back when I can, and this pool allows me to do so.
You can enter at no cost, and the shwag is up for grabs. The only thing I ask, to be fair, is that you only enter once, please. Also, if you happen to miss a round, that's fine. Things happen, people get busy, no big deal. Just remember that you may find yourself in a very difficult spot if you miss any of the rounds because the point totals available in each round decrease with the lower total number of series being played. I won't be babysitting, so it's your job to enter as the Playoff Pool continues.
HOW DO I ENTER?I will continue to use the email account specifically for the HBIC Playoff Pool simply because my normal email is ridiculously cluttered and I need some time to go through it. That being said, you MUST send all picks to this new email address: hbicplayoffpool-at-gmail-dot-com. Entries sent to any other email address that you have for me will be categorically deleted so that I can keep all of the HBIC Playoff Pool entries in one place. Clear? Nod your head. You don't want your Poolie Picks to go missing in my disorganized mailbox, do you?
Now to expedite the marking, I have created a pretty little Excel document that can be opened in both Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice Calc. Fill this out and send it back to me WITH YOUR NAME AS THE NAME OF THE EXCEL DOCUMENT (ie. Teebz.xls).
Click here to download if you missed the link above.
And I think that about does it. If you have any questions, fire me an email here. DO NOT SEND YOUR PICKS TO THAT EMAIL! Follow the directions above to do so. Get your picks in by the puck drop in Game One of the first series on Tuesday to enter the pool! If you have some sort of issue with this deadline, please email ASAP so we can make arrangements!
And may the best prognosticator win!
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Martin Havlat scored Minnesota's first and last goals Wednesday and Niklas Backstrom made 37 saves in carrying the Wild to a 6-0 victory over Calgary.
Backstrom made his first start in 2011 after missing nine games with a sore hip. He had his second shutout of the season and the 21st of his five-year career.
Havlat scored 3:25 into the game and he wrapped up the Wild's offense by tipping in a shot with 2:52 to go in the third.
Mikko Koivu, John Madden, Cal Clutterbuck and Chuck Kobasew also scored for Minnesota, which has won three in a row. The Wild outscored the opposition in those three games 14-1.
All six goals were surrendered by Miikka Kiprusoff on 24 shots. The Flames have lost six out of eight.

The Sensing City Traffic project was concluded on 29.2.2016.
The project was a success although the progress was hindered by unpredictable m&a activities causing drastic shifts in the original plan.
At the outset, the project mainly intended to help Finnish companies to build capabilities for capitalizing on smart transportation systems in China, using Nokia as a pilot case company. The plan was to build a working location-based service (LBS) pilot for Nokia in Guangzhou, China, and to use the accumulated knowledge to help other Finnish companies to enter the same field of business in China.
However, shortly after the project started, Nokia sold its Mobile phones, the primary vehicle of the plan, prompting us to revamp the plan to accommodate the remaining relevant HERE/maps business. Unfortunately, not long after the divestment of the mobile phones, Nokia decided to sell HERE/maps business as well, causing also the second most relevant component of the original plan to become unavailable.
While the project navigated these unpredictable changes, it gained control by focusing on developing its in-house LBS technology and later added Nokia's High Accuracy Indoor Positioning (HAIP) system in its repertoire.
Finally, the project delivered the following outcomes:
– In-house LBS tech with augmented reality (Click here for a video!)
– Flying drone pilots (Click here for a video!)
– Nokia HAIP tech with conference application pilot
– 10 LBS initiatives

Bora Bora, French Polynesia
It's almost impossible to describe the stunning natural beauty of this French Polynesian island. Here, the verdant inactive volcano, Mt. Otemanu, stands tall above blindingly white sands, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of blue water. Bora Bora is a popular stop on South Pacific itineraries, and ships anchor offshore and send tenders to the main town of Vaitape, which has a small market.
What We Love
Watercraft Excursions: Get out on the water under your own power to see innumerable shades of blue on a personal watercraft. The half-day adventure will give you some of the best views of the majestic island.
Fire Dancing: You can catch a fire dance performance anywhere in the Polynesian triangle, but there's something about the performers on Bora Bora that make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The show at the Four Seasons Bora Bora, which is positioned on its own island, is particularly worthwhile.
Best Known For
Bloody Mary's: The beach bar and restaurant has been welcoming island visitors (Nelson Rockefeller, Mick Jagger, and the Kardashians among them) since the '70s. The fish is fresh, the views are unbeatable, and you never know who may be playing an impromptu concert.
Stingrays: Hop on a little boat to a tranquil sandbar to swim among these friendly creatures. You can pose with Brigitte Bardot (one particularly photogenic stingray) and others in the cerulean waters.
Find a Cruise
Who It's Best For
Starry-Eyed Relaxers: There's a reason why Bora Bora is synonymous with honeymooning. The picturesque beaches are perfect for strolling, and the laid-back vibe means there's not much to do besides chill out.
Don't Say We Didn't Warn You
Beauty Can Be Boring: Yes, it is one of the world's most picturesque settings, but that means there also isn't a whole heck of a lot to do apart from putting your toes in the sand. Embrace it and just relax, even if that's not usually your thing.
Jenna Mahoney is a Brooklyn-based contributor to ShermansCruise who has also written for Allure.

Where is CNEWA? We just might be closer than you think — and we might even be in your own backyard.
We work closely with local church leaders to identify the crucial needs of their communities and to find and implement sustainable solutions. So, for this week's "Take Five," here are five regions where CNEWA has an impact:
- Middle East. In this volatile region, the churches and peoples in Jordan and Iraq, Lebanon and Syria and Palestine and Israel are in great need of assistance. CNEWA comes to their aid through its offices in Amman, Beirut and Jerusalem. One example of our work is the Mother of Mercy Clinic in Zerqa, Jordan, run by the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena. Specializing in prenatal and postnatal care, the clinic offers impoverished mothers and babies health care for free.
- Northeast Africa. CNEWA supports a variety of programs in Egypt, Ethiopia and Eritrea. While political instability dominates the headlines, poverty and hunger — especially in the Horn of Africa — are always a concern. CNEWA works primarily with children in need throughout the region. Thanks to our person-to-person sponsorship program, children go to school, where they are nourished, body, mind and soul.
- India. CNEWA's work is mainly in the state of Kerala, which has a significant population of Christians. According to ancient tradition, St. Thomas the Apostle (a.k.a. "Doubting Thomas") brought the faith there and was martyred in the year 72. One CNEWA project in India reaches out to the so-called "untouchables" or Dalits, a caste of people living in abject poverty. One of the ways we help restore their dignity is by providing them with a modest house to call home.
- Eastern Europe. It is a region of the world still struggling with the legacy of Communism. CNEWA has been serving the churches and peoples primarily in Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. The elderly were especially affected by poverty in Georgia, and were largely forgotten. Caritas Georgia, one of CNEWA's partners, gives much-needed assistance to the vulnerable elderly through its soup kitchens — providing them with at least one good meal a day — and by nursing the sick.
- North America. You can find CNEWA offices in New York City in the United States and in Ottawa in Canada. Acting like a bridge, CNEWA connects generous North Americans with those in need living in remote parts of the world, educating them about the Eastern churches and cultures through ONE magazine, processing their gifts, keeping financial accounts and updating the website and blog with news and stories, to name a few.
Those are just a few ways CNEWA helps others to help themselves in some corners of the world. You can discover more at our website, in the pages of our award-winning magazine ONE, and here on this blog.
Together with your help, we build the church, alleviate poverty, encourage dialogue, affirm human dignity and inspire hope. Although each region is unique, they are united through CNEWA to fulfill Christ's prayer "that all may be one."

Does completing a household survey change the later behavior of those surveyed? In three field studies of health and two of microlending, we randomly assigned subjects to be surveyed about health and/or household finances and then measured subsequent use of a related product with data that does not rely on subjects' self-reports. In the three health experiments, we find that being surveyed increases use of water treatment products and take-up of medical insurance. Frequent surveys on reported diarrhea also led to biased estimates of the impact of improved source water quality. In two microlending studies, we do not find an effect of being surveyed on borrowing behavior. The results suggest that limited attention could play an important but context-dependent role in consumer choice, with the implication that researchers should reconsider whether, how, and how much to survey their subjects.

Helping Smaller Businesses Compete in their Markets
When you are deciding to begin a Google Pay-Per-Click campaign for your business, there are numerous things you should make sure you know before you begin.
There have been countless stories of Google eating up an advertising budget in record time, because the decision to begin advertising on Google and/or Bing was made, however there was no thought into WHY and HOW your ads should perform.
The first thing you should do is start with a few hours of research. Take a look at ads that pop up under your keywords you are thinking of using. Ask yourself...Would MY ad fit in well with these ads? If it does, then mark down that keyword and keep going. You should ultimately have 20-30 keywords per campaign, so this pre-planning time is crucial to your Google Pay Per Click success.
The next thing to look at is your website. Ask yourself, if someone were to be driven to your website from the keywords you are planning on using, will they be right for YOU? Are these the type of customers who are coming for information or are they coming to BUY from you. The difference is how you will setup your home page. If they are coming to BUY from you, then your product or service better be on the home page and not have to navigate to it. Otherwise, you will want to send them to one of the interior pages of your website where they can buy now or a separate landing page.
If they do not want to "buy" because of the type of ad you are running, then WHY are they there? Once you know WHY, then are you ready to supply them with your information? Do you have a call to action and a web form tied to an email or text drip campaign? If you do not, then this is what we recommend first. Otherwise, there will be money you are spending to drive a prospect to your website, and if they leave without calling you or opting in then you lose money.
These are two very important factors when deciding to run a pay per click campaign on Google or Bing or both. These both play an important role in your quality score, which in turn plays an important role in your success (or failure) of you Pay per click campaign.
These are just two of numerous important factors to consider when beginning your pay per click campaign. There are numerous more and I will attempt to outline them in the coming weeks and months here on this blog, so please stay tuned.
We open and manage Pay Per Click campaigns for customers, so if you would like a professional team with experience to help you maximize your Google Pay-Per-Click camapigns- do not hesitate to connect with us at 888-374-0555
Happy clicking!

Terraria 2 currently in the planning stages, says creator
Terraria 2 will definitely be a thing, but it's not in development just yet, according to creator Andrew Spinks. While the follow-up is still "a ways out," Spinks told RPS that it will have a few things in common with the original, but will be different as well. Some of the returning features will include "the way loot, and progression works" but with the sequel, he wants to include "infinite worlds so you're not just stuck to one world. You can travel anywhere. I want more biome diversity in that, too." Those still playing the original, which was recently updated to version 1.2, can look forward to "endgame progression within the next month or two," and more updates may be coming down the line.

Release Date: 2013 |
Good review, posd. I just recently got into Mudhoney a few weeks ago and still have yet to give this a proper listen, but based off what I've heard, it sounds pretty good.
"Mudhoney have grown up with their audience rather than desperately trying to be relevant to a generation they aren't part of, and it's to a gratifying effect on Vanishing Point."
This is a great point for the people who whine about how clean sounding the album is compared to their early stuff.
most of their best material is from the 90s and that's all pretty slick sounding, problem is that they've written about 2 decent songs in the last decade
march to fuzz comp is all the mudhoney i need
march to fuzz comp is all the mudhoney i need
Here you there buddy.
Digging: HEALTH - DISCO4 :: Part I
Album Rating: 3.0it's good in the sense that it's the greatness I expected from thembut my approach with Mudhoney is the same with other 90's alternative groups, most of their best stuff was produced in their prime, a shame but there's certainly some solid stuff here. lol
Album Rating: 3.5Mudhoney just get better with age... still, this being apolitical, feels like lost time.
Definitely better than the 2.8 it's been attributed, but what can you do, eh

The Three B's in Truckload Sourcing Best Practices: Better Planning, Better Bidding & Better Decision Making
How often should we take our truckload network to bid? How will we define our lanes, and what level of information is important to carriers? What bidding tactics should we employ, and what are the types of carriers (and proposals) we want to encourage during our sourcing project?

- Robust lane classification during strategy and bid set-up
- Classifying carriers based on the KPIs relevant to your business strategies
- Up-front strategy definition and documentation that drives post-bid evaluations
- Involving stakeholders and decision makers to improve buy-in
- Selling your freight and company to prospective carriers to improve participation


text: 'Whiplash' Director on Resisting Tentpoles: "I'm Not Interested in Being a Puppet on a String" 12:06 PM PST 11/7/2014 by Chris O'Falt FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Young screenwriter Damien Chazelle has been busy of late: He's writing the follow-up to the surprise summer 2010 hit "The Last Exorcism," which is set to go into production this fall. Oscar hopeful Damien Chazelle has two in the pipeline: a Miles Teller-Emma Watson musical and a Neil Armstrong biopic he calls " 'Whiplash' in space" It's been a whiplash-inducing year for writer-director Damien Chazelle. After beginning 2014 as a relative unknown, the 29-year-old who became the toast of Sundance with his semi-autobiographical Whiplash now finds himself a frontrunner (according to The Hollywood Reporter awards analyst Scott Feinberg) for Oscar nominations in the director and original screenplay categories. But don't expect Chazelle, who has two buzzy projects lined up, to take long before getting back behind the camera. As he recently explained to THR, he has spent a lifetime studying the careers of his favorite directors and had been mapping out his next career move well before his Park City breakout. "The movie I'm doing next I wrote before Whiplash," explains Chazelle. "It was just too big to get off the ground, so the hope was that Whiplash would allow the doors to open for that movie." That project is La La Land, an L.A.-based musical about young dreamers striving to make it in the big city, which is set to go into rehearsals in February. The love story will feature Whiplash star Miles Teller as a jazz pianist and Emma Watson as an aspiring actress, both of whom are pushed to the edge of madness in a city of artistic dreamers. The theme of characters pushing themselves to extremes is central to Chazelle's work and is what attracted him to also sign on to First Man, a biopic about astronaut Neil Armstrong that is in development at Universal. "It's like Whiplash in space," Chazelle tells THR. "It's going to be another portrait of someone driven to the brink of what some people might term 'insanity' and also questioning the cost that goes into great achievement. I guess as someone who is kind of driven to the point of alienation myself, I'm attracted to characters like that." Both First Man and La La Land represent a significant step up from Whiplash's reported $3.3 million production budget. But don't look for Chazelle to sign onto a franchise film anytime soon. "There's also a temptation to jump right into some giant tentpole," explains Chazelle. "I think for some people that works, but for me I wouldn't be interested in that because I'm only interested in things I can actually direct. I'm not interested in being a puppet on a string." Chazelle points to Christopher Nolan's career path as being one he emulates. "His career is very interesting, where he worked his way up to [big budgets] more slowly than people try to these days," says an admiring Chazelle. "I want to make things that are personal, like Nolan, that are seen by people." He continues: "There are certain movies I want to do that are huge and would require huge resources, but you have to build your way to them. You have to earn the right. And I have no problem with that." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Chris O'Falt email@example.com @thr
