Clinton gets accountability report on Benghazi attacks
By Andrew Quinn
Mon Dec 17, 2012 3:18pm EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday received an official review of the September attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, setting the stage for testimony on an incident that prompted a political furor and sharp questions about security at U.S. diplomatic facilities overseas.
The committee has been meeting in private and State Department officials have declined to discuss almost all specifics of the Benghazi attack pending its reports.
The findings are expected to cover questions on whether enough attention was given to potential threats and how Washington responded to security requests from U.S. diplomats in Libya.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
It was those rascally Republicans!
"Do not mention Cross Border Authority"
The whole of her preparation.
Waste of time and money.
Hitlary! already told us she is 100% responsible.
Imagine a universe if you will, where the main stream media would have spent 1/100th the time on Benghazi as they have on the recent tragic domestic incident. Should we not be demanding that government also give the Benghazi incident significant attention ? In both cases American Citizens died.
Be careful! Don't get any of that whitewash in your eyes.
Can't they just leave Hitlery ALONE!??
"She" has a head injury!!!!
I was thinking the same thing. Except for FX, there was a strange silence on Benghazi, while on this horrible school tragedy, the media covers every tiny bit and repeats, repeats, repeats same trivial info.
>>Hitlary! already told us she is 100% responsible.<<
I thought rice told us hitlery was responsible...
Getting their stories straight, eh,wot?
Benghazi report released ping...
The single question that will derail any intentions she has of pursuing future political office is why she failed to provide resources to rescue the foreign service personnel being assaulted.
Better yet, my wife made the observation that since hillary bonked her head and can't testify she must not be fit to run for president either.....
She has a head injury!!!!
Did she read it at home while she was having intestinal distress, or when she was still dizzy from the concussion?
And while I'm pinging away here, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW SENATOR FROM SC, TIM SCOTT! WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
(Excuse me while I regain my composure.)
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Benghazi Massacre File.
She got the script from the White Hut.
Accountability? What accountability? I DON GOTTA SHOW YOU NO ACCOUNTABILITY!!
So Hillary has the report, and can now make up a story based upon the official findings.
It's going to be a doozy folks.
Did her secretary drop the report by her house, or did Hillary logon via the VPN and download the report herself?
No, the key question is why civilian Ambassador Stevens was 500 miles away from the U.S. embassy carrying out an intelligence operation that bypassed the CIA Chief of Station 1 mile away.
...because we all know that the CIA was bypassed because whatever Stevens was doing was something that CIA Chief Petraeus would have gone public with if he hadn't been bypassed.
Nobody died at Abu Ghraib, but it was on the front page of the NYTimes for 38 consecutive days.
Hundreds of citizens of a foreign nation were shot with guns we dumped into the hands of their criminal gangs, and the morons who get their news from the NY Times read barely a peep. They still don't know what it was about.
Our ambassador was murdered. Two hero Navy Seals charged to the embassy and saved dozens of lives while giving their own. Their repeated requests for backup were ignored by this Administration, who received those requests in real time. Aware of their pleas, the president declined their requests and went to bed. After a seven hour firefight without assistance, the Seals were finally killed by enemy fire. Then the Administration spent weeks denying the Seals posthumous recognition of their heroism and knowingly inventing a lie to cover up their guilt in the deaths of all involved.
Again the NY Times picks lint out of it's navel and pretends it's not even a newsworthy story. They haven't even bothered to interview a single survivor or witness.
And in only one of the cases, it was up to the Obama Regime to protect said Americans.
She is probably too ill to read it, isn't she?
And, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
So, I guess, she missed that 3 a.m. phone call.
Mrs. Cyclone59 raises a pretty good point!
The prezzy supposedly cut funding for school security. There may be a common theme. Basically that Americans are getting very little protection for our annual 2 trillion in government debt bills. And just look at what will happen to the defense budget if the prezzy take us over the cliff.
I pray the Lord forces the ugly truth out of this beast, by whatever means HE deems necessary. It's not enough for her to burn in he**, I prefer to watch the stuffed lying pig suffer the rest of her days. God forgive me, seeing evil just brings out the worst in me.
WH: Ring, ring, ring.
Yeah, we need that Benghazi report to be released right away while everyone is distracted by Connecticut. Now let's move!
" It was those rascally Republicans!"
And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids.
Maybe this is why:
4 dead Americans, one being our ambassador, and it's considered by Al Reuters as an "incident".
Do really think that the takers that who voted Obambi in TWICE, won't fall for her promising them more stuff?
can they tell us where obama was when informed
where did he go
did he go and watch the attack live time in the situation room
did he give the stand down order.
did HE GO BACK TO SLEEP as the atacks took place
why did he go to Vegas knowing it were an attack
why did he refuse to call it an attack
why did he blame this on a video
who gave the stand down order and why?
Get obama on the stand and demand to answer some of these questions.
So, I guess, she missed that 3 a.m. phone call.
Must have went to voicemail...
...because we all know that the CIA was bypassed because whatever Stevens was doing was something that CIA Chief Petraeus would have gone public with if he hadnt been bypassed.
You mean like arming jihadi groups fighting in Syria with weapons seized in Libya?
Back then, it would have inspired them to dig deeper and harder to uncover the facts.
Now, they just sit in the corner and wait for the government to tell them what they should write.
If is a tough challenge for the GOP to inspire public confidence in what is left of capitalism by engineering a recovery as the minority in the Senate when so many economic chickens are coming home to roost and the tax and spend tidal wave continues.

John Glaspy Flies
Pink Rotapixie
A John Glaspy Fly
Pink Rotapixie was designed and tied by Contributing Fly Tyer, John Glaspy. You can see more of his flies for Pacific Salmon at The Flies of John Glaspy.
All of the Rotapixies use the same general tying steps. Pixies are the same except that they are tied on a regular rather than propeller hook. Tying these flies is essentially the same as tying a wooly bugger.
1. Place a finished propeller hook with the desired color propeller and cone in the vise.
2. Tie in the marabou tail, length a little longer than the overall length of the hook. Because the tails are layered different colors of marabou, I find it easier to wet the marabou before tying each feather in place. Trim the butts where the lead and epoxy begin on the hook shank, to eliminate the bump on the shank of the finished propeller hook made by the lead wire and epoxy. Put several strands of Krystal Flash on each side of the tail and clip to varying lengths, no longer than marabou.
3. Tie in a length of UV Polar Chenille at the back of the fly long enough to palmer the hook shank and store in material holder.
4. Dub a body for the entire length of the hook shank. Leave thread at the front of the fly behind the cone.
5. Palmer the UV Polar Chenille forward over the body and tie off behind cone.
6. Tie on a small piece of chenille for the egg head, wrap the egg and tie off.

Wales face an anxious wait to find out the extent of the damage George North sustained after being stretchered off at Ravenhill.
Wales are facing an anxious wait to find out the extent of the damage wing George North sustained against Ulster after being stretchered off on Friday.
Lions hopeful North had to be placed in a brace and backs coach Mark Jones confirmed that the wing had 'issues' with his head and neck.
"I only know what I saw on the replay. He's had a knee to the head and he's struggling with some head and neck issues," he said after the game.
Wales are already struggling with injured players ahead of February's Six Nations Championship, with fly-half Rhys Priestland ruled out with a ruptured Achilles while Cardiff pair Jamie Roberts and Leigh Halfpenny are on their way back.
Props Craig Mitchell and Aaron Jarvis, hookers Huw Bennett and Ken Owens, locks Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Evans and Luke Charteris as well as blindside flanker Dan Lydiate are also sidelined.

qsub page.
Refer to the documentation for our batch environment to understand how to use PBS on OSC hardware. Some specifics you will need to know to create well-formed batch scripts:
- Compute nodes on Oakley are 12 cores/processors per node (ppn). Parallel jobs must use
If you need more than 48 GB of RAM per node, you may run on the 8 large memory (192 GB) nodes on Oakley ("bigmem"). You can request a large memory node on Oakley by using the following directive in your batch script:
nodes=XX:ppn=12:bigmem, where XX can be 1-8.
- We have a single huge memory node ("hugemem"), with 1 TB of RAM and 32 cores. You can schedule this node by adding the following directive to your batch script:
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=32. This node is only for serial jobs, and can only have one job running on it at a time, so you must request the entire node to be scheduled on it. In addition, there is a walltime limit of 48 hours for jobs on this node.
nodes=1:ppn=32 with a walltime of 48 hours or less, and the scheduler will put you on the 1 TB node.
- GPU jobs may request any number of cores and either 1 or 2 GPUs. Request 2 GPUs per a node by adding the following directive to your batch script:
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=12:gpus=2

Alongside the introduction of the 'new iPad', this morning Apple dropped the price of the previous generation iPad 2, which now starts at $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi version and $529 for the 16GB 3G-capable version.
Apple's strategy of keeping the previous iPhone hardware model around and selling it at a discount has made it possible for the company to compete in the lower end of the prepaid cellphone market, with AT&T going so far as to offer the iPhone 3GS for free on contract.
While we don't expect the iPad 2 to be free any time soon, it will be immediately more attractive to tablet buyers who may have been eyeing an Android device like the Kindle Fire. Read more

She has to pay back the money she spent
She\'s expansive, she\'s elusive, nanananana...
International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda is in hot water again.
Two months ago it was discovered that she had abused her expense account at an international conference on poverty in London.
She was to have stayed at the hotel where the conference was taking place, but it didn't have a smoking room and Oda smokes like a chimney.
So instead she went to the most luxurious five-star Savoy Hotel which has a wonderful smoking room but overnight is twice the price.
At the Savoy she was far from the conference, and since "Madame" does not like taxis, she rented a limousine and a driver at $ 1 000 a day.
All this came to the knowledge of Parliament and her boss Stephen Harper informed her she had to reimburse taxpayers for her over-spending.
She apologized in the House of Commons on April 24 and admitted her expenses had been "unacceptable."
She doled out $1,353.81 to cover the difference between the two hotel rooms, including a cancellation fee at the first hotel and even those glasses of orange juice at $ 16 a glass that she liked so much at the Savoy.
But for Oda, it always goes from bad to worse. The Opposition discovered she had forgotten to refund her limousine costs - another $2, 671.45. In all, Oda had to fork over $ 4,025.26. That makes for a rather expensive smoke.
Worse than that, the MPs poked around some more and discovered that someone had gone and changed her expense accounts for trips to Haiti, Korea and Africa.
Now why would someone do a thing like that?
And now it starts all over again.

FN Weekend Open Thread - Dev Camp Thoughts
Kent Wilson
July 13 2013 01:11PM
It was the development camp scrimmage this morning and more than a few folks showed up to watch (my guess is between 500-100). Ryan Pike is busy gathering player interviews as the camp progresses, but for now this thread is share the thoughts and impressions of anyone who has taken in the action thus far.
Today was my first exposure to the kids and so my observations are limited. In a single contest like this a lot of guys kind of fade into the woodwork, especially because the area seating is concentrated on one end of the rink (making it hard to scout action at the other end). Still, here's what I came away with.
- Mark Jankowski looks bigger. In fact, he appeared to be the second tallest player on the ice behind Kanzig. He's also still very toolsy, but relatively low impact. Janko would appear in the thick of things now and then, but disappeared for long stretches as well. I had to specifically look for him in the latter half of the game in order to notice him on the ice.
- Turner Elson was one of the stand-outs this morning. Smallish, but a buzzsaw of activity, he also made a number of nice spin-type moves in the offensive zone and set-up one of team Black's goals after a nice deke off the boards and out of the corner. Had another high-end chance after going wide and driving the net. A pleasant surprise.
- Another unexpectedly good performer was Trey Lewis, the undrafted captain of the Halifax Mooseheads. Lewis seemed to be a decently poised defender who wasn't shy about communicating or jumping into the rush at times.
- Bill Arnold was also a stand-out at times. He was much more mobile that I remember or expected and seemed to make consistently strong plays with the puck.
- John Gaudreau played a lot with Sean Monahan for team red and they were usually the line that drove play into the offensive zone. Gaudreau is faster this year and he doesn't look as freakishly undersized either.
Monahan was solid all over the ice. Despite being a younger guy he rarely panicked with the puck and was never victimized on a bad play or missed read. He also scored Red's only goal.
- Pat Sieloff was a guy who seemed to struggle with frustration/keeping his emotions in check. His signature is playing with an edge, of course, but a guy with a short fuse can cause problems on the ice because it can lead to poor decisions and bad penalties.
- Michael Ferland had a rough go. Plays died on his stick more than once this morning and he seemed to have problems both with execution and decision making.
- Sven Baertschi was one of the most dangerous guys on the ice for Black of course. He played mostly with Granlund and they combined for a goal and more than one high-end scoring chance. I didn't notice Granlund as much, but a few others there were raving about him.
- Keegan Kanzig is big.
That's about it from me. Share your own impressions in the comments.
July 14 2013, 11:45AM
I thought Sieloff was one of the most fun to watch, sure played edgy and snarky, cleared out his crease a few times and even pinched a few times. He was ready to go with Harrison I believe it was... would have liked to see that!
Maybe Harrison too but I saw Ferland and Seiloff stare each other down. It makes me happy to see guys who can play also have that ability.
I know I'm getting way too far ahead but the mix of players they have...
I foresee guys like Gaudreau feeling his line/team mates have skill to make plays PLUS they will have his back if anyone even looks at him funny.
If Ferland makes it, imagine a line with Gaudreau and Monahan/Jankowski/2014 1 st rounder???
Skilled, young, fast and aggressive (I consider Gaudreau aggressive because he attacks with pure skill, plays with no fear just like I consider Seiloff aggressive because he loves to hit) players.
If you listen to the Bill Arnold interview, he mentions how they had to rely on hockey sense in scrimmage (no tactical direction from coaches) It was looser so guys had to use creativity to make plays. They did and no one looked horrible or out of place doing that. Some guys were not noticeable from good plays but no one was noticeable for really bad plays. I'm sure guys messed up and some were clearly better. I think this was by design. What happens when you put a bunch of hockey IQ guys together? Some of them can also skate faster, have better hands, others can also fight.
It's exciting to see the next tests. Hopefully they all pass and make it.

They will be.
Anyone see the Horvat-Domi WOWY on twitter?
Now all we need is the attitude rumours about Shinkaruk to be true... and his development to faulter. 2 for 2!
July 14 2013, 01:43PM
I'll just clarify a few things because there seems to be some confusion.
@McRib - couldn't use the 3,000 capacity arena because it's currently been set up for International play (full size rink) The Women's national summer camp is fast approaching in the next week or 2. The Flames wanted the prospects especially those from Europe to experience the smaller ice surface and be able to understand the angles on such.
Horak has indeed switched to number 21 -the number his father wore as a professional. So those who thought Horak stood out when watching whatever number you thought he was wearing probably might want to check the player that it actually was.
And so that means that those who thought 21 was not Max Power was not. Max Reinhart is currently injured. He has only been skating with the Goalies and I believe he didn't participate in the first scrimmage at all.
Anyone see the Horvat-Domi WOWY on twitter?
Now all we need is the attitude rumours about Shinkaruk to be true... and his development to faulter. 2 for 2!
Could you post a link or just a brief sysnopsis, who was relying on whom?
Here's a link to the Horvat-Domi WOWY tweet: http://t.co/e90zcZsWCY
So I was partially right Roman Horak was not very impressive for me wearing 21, Haha. Like some have stated he struggled with his linemates, that said there is a reason he was paired with inexperienced players he is supposed to be a leader. I think Roman Horaks speed got him to the NHL faster than expected, but now we are starting to see some areas of improvement.
Interesting Jon GIllies said Corbin Knight was the hardest forward to stop at camp, he looked great defensively for me and has such a well rounded game. He is as good a bet as anyone to start with the big club in that fourth line centre role.
It a shame then the secondary ice wasn't built with more capacity, maybe its just nostalgia but the WInsport arenas will never top Father David Bauer. Although now that it has been mentioned those rinks are also Olympic Size, Haha.
From the Matt Pfeffers twitter shortly after Domi/Horvat discussion.... "there wasn't a single 67 who had better stats away from Monahan then with.... I was able to watch London four times during the season and every game during the Mem Cup on Sportnet and Domi was always far and away the better player for me, although can someone explain why in that chart Bo Hovat's goals only add to 14 and he had 33??
The defining moment of the draft had to have been when the camera zoomed in on Hunter Shinkaruk after the Flames selected he looked like a very sore looser everyone in his family had scowls on their faces. Then when Vancouver took him he specifically said that "no one in his family" was really a Flames fans they all cheered for other teams.... Well that looks good on the Canucks to have another very sore looser. From day one with Medicine Hat he got ridiculous ice even as a 16 year-old the kid has never faced a moment of adversity or paid his dues. He also has never led his team in scoring (Vey, Etem, Valk), despite the points he has put up would not surprise me if he is a bust. The Canucks are sure putting together a staggering amount under GIllies (Patrick White, Jordan Schroeder) even Nicklas Jensen & Brendan Gaunce do very little for me as well. They are two or three years away from being in an Edm/Cal rebuild situation with no prospects coming up the pipeline. I would rather be an Oilers fan at this point than a supporter of the Canucks, at least they have a future, Vancouver is a team that hit its apex two years ago. Kesler apparently wants out Luongo clearly wanted out, plus they recently welcomed confrontational Torts to the picture. Good luck.
Wow after reading this recent article on Coda Gordon no wonder his leg strength (Lower Body) is underdeveloped, as he had major injuries in Pewee & Bantam. Continue to like Gordon more and more as a prospect.
i would have no problem with flames trading veteren defencemen for top prospects
"although can someone explain why in that chart Bo Hovat's goals only add to 14 and he had 33"
It must have only been counting even strength points. He had 17 (!!) powerplay goals on the season.
Horvat always seemed like a reach to me, and it's looking more and more like I was right. There was quite literally no reason to take him in the top 10. None.
Quite astonishing.
July 15 2013, 02:12AM
I call bullshit on the Horvat-Domi WOWY if the intent is to believe that Domi is the better all-around player. The boys at BRoad Street Hockey had an interesting article up on prospect usage, and while it is reliant on proxies to calculate qaulity of competition, it is nevertheless illuminating.
First off, it contends that Monhan faced some of the toughest minutes in the entire OHL. Secondly it shows that Domi faced significantly lower QOC than many of his teammates. While that article does not state exactly who these teammates are (six faced tougher forwards regularly, while five played as many or more minutes against the premier defencemen of opposing teams), it is apparent that Domi was not consistently playing against the opposing teams`top lines.
Based on evidence from other articles and scouting reports, Horvat was one of the players doing the heavy lifting. Thus it might be that Horvat scored more with Domi because he faced weaker comp with more O zone starts when paired with Domi, than when he was apart.
Without advanced stats, we cannot be absolutely certain, but there is a very strong case that Horvat simply played some of the toughest minutes on his team. In that regard, many scouts peg him to be a player in the mould of Bergeron and Kesler.
In other words, he doesn`t suc just because he was drafted by the Nucks and based on one WOWY without context.
For more on the aforementioned article, follow this link: http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2013/6/26/4455830/draft-prospect-toi-quality-of-competition
p.s.: McRib, for a guy that really highlights the competency of private draft firms such as Redline and Mckeens, it`s rather interesting that you would single out Horvat as a potential bust, but quote these very sources to pump up the Flames` draft picks, especially Poirier.
FYI, Horvat was ranked 14th by Mckeens, while Redline had him going 7th in their mock draft. It`s great to cheer for one`s own prospects, but to denigrate those of other teams, without any real evidence -or, in this case, selective use of sources -is rather misleading and disingenuous.
All true, but Horvat was so bad at scoring without Domi that it's hard to convincingly argue that he should have gone in the first round at all, much less the top 10. Playing for the ridiculously good London Knights (albiet in difficult circumstances) Horvat got outscored at even strength (without Domi). That is not good. There is no way to argue that that is good.
Poirier played difficult circumstances on a really bad team. He scored more points than Horvat did, and most of them were at even strength. Horvat's offense relied almost entirely on Domi and the powerplay.
I'm not saying I think Horvat will be a bust--I still think he'll probably be a second line forward. But the Canucks can and should be questioned for making that pick.
July 15 2013, 10:31AM
John Gaudreau is a joke. The skill level this guy has shown has been absolutely incredible. Wicked fast, great hands, him and Monahan have worked very well together so far today.
i hate the oilers.

Pros: Awesome finish, Bass isn't bloated, Excellent Treble extension
Cons: Cable is pretty bad, Definitely one of those 'hit -or-miss' iems, Definitely not for people with small ears.
Ok first of all I will be using my Sansa Clip as my source as I feel an iem should always be tested with portable sources. I paid $200AUD for them brand new, which is dirt-cheap by Australian standards. I do not believe in burn in, especially for armature drivers - owning and listening to many iems has shown me burn-in is just a mental phenomenon where the brain adjusts to a new sound signature. I will throw some quick comparisons to other iems I have tried, such as the IE8 and RE0.
Initial Impressions
Being used to the cold and analytical sound of the RE0 and the warm and bassy sound of the IE8 my first impressions were quite negative. The TF10 had a really 'mechanical' sound (very artificial sounding, not very natural) to it with ear-piercing treble. However, after about 30 minutes of use my ears adjusted to the treble and the mechanical sound disappeared. After that these wowed me with their detail, punchy bass and treble extension.
Design to me is quite good. Since the TF10 jut out of the ear there is minimal contact with the inside part of my ear compared to say, the IE8 or SE530 where the body of the earpiece makes more contact with the inside of you ear. The gun-metal blue finish is quite attractive. Build quality is above average which is expected for a iem in this price bracket. Fit for me is excellent, however, I can see how some people complain about not being able to get a good fit. The size of the shells are massive. Personally I have medium sized canals and have always used medium sized tips for iems. If you have small sized canals then I can most likely predict that you will have fit issues.
The cable however is very average - thickness of the wire is about normal for any iem, however the material is rubbery to the touch. The cable terminates in an not very sturdy looking straight jack which I absolutely hate and doesn't look like it could take a beating unlike the IE8 cable. However, TF10 aftermarket cables are in abundance and are not that costly (about $38USD for a good an ES8 cable on Jaben's website.). Furthermore, isolation is not terribly high. It has more isolation than the IE8 but definitely less than what Etymotic and Shure iems can offer. For me it is good for the daily commute and allows me to faintly hear cars in the distance for safety reasons.
Browsing around these forums, quite a few people claim that the bass of the TF10 is muddy and bloated, I couldn't disagree more. To me it sounds very punchy. However, bass quantity is quite high but not massive so to speak and does not have a lot of low end rumble.
TF10 vs IE8
Hmmm...a hard one to call. I cannot say that one is better than the other - just that they are different from each other. TF10 bass is punchy and has a lot of quantity to it. On the other hand the IE8's bass (set to minimum) is more rumbly with a hell of a lot more quantity to it. Neither of these iem's bass sounds bloated. However, from my own preferences it feels that the TF10 has more quality bass while the IE8 has more bass quantity that has a lot more ear shaking rumble.Whether one is better than the other simply comes down to personal preferences. For me the TF10 sounded better in the bass department with Trance music and the IE8 sounded a lot better with Hip-Hop style music.
TF10 vs RE0
After listening to the two TF10 bass sound's very punchy with a high level of quantity. RE0 on the other hand the bass sounds thin and un-energetic compared to the TF10. However, the actual quality of the RE0 bass is still excellent.
Midrange on the TF10 is nothing special. It does not stick out among the bass and treble, however, I wouldn't called it recessed either. Vocals sound a little bit distant. This doesn't bother me at all and I feel is a bit necessary for the TF10 in the way that the Treble and Bass is quantified. To me, having a boosted midrange would make the whole experience overwhelming and fatiguing.
TF10 vs IE8
To me the IE8's midrange is a little recessed. This drove me mad sometimes on a few songs with a lot of vocals as it sounded really...unnatural. Midrange is nothing special on either of these iems, however, the TF10s midrange is not recessed to my ears and hence I believe that TF10 wins out here.
TF10 vs RE0
Surprisingly the midrange of the TF10 and RE0 sound very similar. I could not discern any real difference between the two. Neither are recessed nor boosted in the midrange. However, vocals are a tiny bit less distant on the RE0. Which is better? Not a clue.
The treble on the TF10 is definitely one of the defining aspects of the TF10 sound signature. It extends well and has a lot of quantity to it. Some people may find it to be too much. On occasion I also find the Treble to be very fatiguing, but this is usually only when I am very tired. As I mentioned when I first listened to these I found the treble to be earpiercing, but my ears adjusted to it withing 30 minutes. I feel no sibilance with these.
TF10 vs IE8
Depending on your preferences the Treble on either the TF10 or IE8 will be more suitable for you. As was mentioned the TF10's treble extends very well and definitely comes in large amounts. On the other hand the IE8's treble also extends well (extends better than the SE530 so I am told to believe), but does not have a massive quantity to it like the TF10. Which is better? If you can't stand a lot of treble then the IE8's treble would be better suited to you. However, if you are like me and feel that a lot of treble couldn't hurt then the TF10 may be better.
TF10 vs RE0
Yes, the RE0 does emphasize Treble a lot. However, it is not dished out in the same quantities as the TF10. Both extend very well, pretty much both extend to the same level according to my ears. So basically I see the TF10's treble as a more quantified version of the RE0's treble extension.
General Sound Signature
I guess you could say that the TF10's sound signature is 'v-shaped' - boosted bass, normal levels of midrange, boosted treble. This provides for a unique sound signature I have not experienced in any other iem I have tried. The TF10 has a bit of a cold sound signature, not analytic though. A bit like the RE0's sound signature but with more emotion to it. A hit if you like this sort of sound signature - miss if you like a warmer or analytical sound signature like the IE8 or Etymotic/RE0 respectively.
RE0's sound signature is very cold and analytical. After listening to either the TF10 or IE8, the RE0 sounded extremely thin and lifeless without any emotion. However, after about 30 minutes of listening my ears adjust to the sound and the RE0 becomes a bit more full with a bit more emotion - still cold and analytical by many standards.
IE8's sound signatures is very warm and bassy. After getting used to the TF10 or RE0 the IE8's bass sound's very flabby bloated and with the recessed midrange sticking out like a sore thumb. However, once again, after 30 minutes of listening my ears adjust and the IE8's bass regains its awesome rumble and flabbiness and bloat mainly disappear.
To sum up the TF10 is a very good iem, however it is definitely one of those iems that you would either love or hate based on the sound signature and the sheer amount of treble relative to other iems mentioned here. If you can get your hands on one cheap then I suggest you give it a try - you never know - you might actually like what you hear.

Female mate choice and mating strategies in wild bonobos
by Pamela Heidi Douglas
The main objective of this study is to elucidate the role of females in the mating system of wild bonobos. Long-standing questions pertaining to female sexuality are being addressed in the free-ranging community of bonobos at Luikotale, using an integrated approach combining information on behaviour, sexual morphology, and reproductive physiology. Female mate choice is an important evolutionary process that imposes sexual selection on males, yet for nearly a century after it was proposed in Darwin's seminal work (1871); females were considered to be less sexually strategic than males. Only in recent decades have female mate choice and mating strategies received considerable theoretical and empirical attention, and evidence that females actively pursue their own mating and reproductive strategies is continually increasing.
To address this question, I am conducting focal observations and collecting non-invasive hormone samples of female bonobos to obtain data on mating behaviour and reproductive endocrinology. More specifically, I will relate female mating behaviour to reproductive state and conception likelihood by considering visual signs of oestrus and timing of ovulation as assessed by urinary concentrations of sex steroids.
The data collected in this study are expected to answer the following questions:
- What mating strategies do female bonobos employ?
- How does female reproductive state influence female mating strategies and choice of mating partners?
- Is there evidence of female mate choice in bonobos, and if so, what is the function of female choice within the mating system of wild bonobos?

Lessard and Martin had eliminated compatriots Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., and Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City in round two 20-22, 21-15, 15-12.
Jamie Broder of Victoria and Kristina Valjas of Toronto (in photo) posted a first round win before being eliminated in their next match.
The men's qualification is slated for Tuesday. Canada has five entries: Josh Binstock of Toronto and Martin Reader of Comox, B.C.; Maverick Hatch of Comox and Sam Schachter of Toronto; Ben Saxton of Calgary and Christian Redmann of Toronto; Richard Van Huizen and Garrett May, both of Toronto ; and Matt Zbyszewski of Toronto and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta.

The Reds put on their best performance of the season to beat the high-flying Chiefs 42-27 in a nine-try humdinger in Brisbane on Sunday.
The Reds put on their best performance of the Super Rugby season to beat the high-flying Chiefs 42-27 in a nine-try humdinger in Brisbane on Sunday.
The Chiefs dominated the first period to race into a 22-8 lead but a try from Ben Lucas after the half-time hooter sparked a massive comeback from the defending champions, who scored 28 unanswered points to snatch the initiative back.
The result is the Chiefs' first defeat since Round One back in February and sees the Reds climb to second place in the Australian conference.
A four-try bonus point leaves the Chiefs one point behind tournament leaders the Bulls.
14 points down with the interval looming large, the Reds looked in trouble but skipper James Horwill took the brave decision to push for a try with the last play of the half. The gamble paid off as Lucas crossed to add to Dom Shipperley's opening score in the early stages and drag the hosts back into contention.
It proved a pivotal moment as the Reds proceeded to run in three more tries in ten minutes after the break as the shell-shocked Chiefs defence wilted.
The defeat was compounded for the Chiefs with the sight of centre Richard Kahui leaving the field in the first half with a dislocated shoulder.
The game was not without controversy however. The Chiefs will have reason to feel aggrieved after Luke Morahan escaped a yellow card for a tip-tackle on Sonny Bill Williams on 66 minutes. None of the officials were able to see his number though and the full-back went on to make two try-saving tackles when he should have been in the sin-bin.
Whether it would have changed the result is debatable however as the Reds showed cool heads in the last quarter, even landing a drop goal via Mike Harris to keep the Chiefs at a safe distance.
Teenage openside flanker Liam Gill was immense for the home side, pilfering time and again while Harris was again instrumental with the boot for the Reds, landing seven from eight attempts at goal.
The Reds were on the board after just four minutes, with Harris intercepting, drawing three in a run to the line before offloading for Dom Shipperley to score in the corner.
Williams was outstanding for the Chiefs and scored in the 30th minute, running over untouched for the first of the visitors' three tries in eight minutes.
Liam Messam and try-machine Sona Taumalolo added their names to the scoresheet as the Chiefs streaked ahead.
But after Lucas scored, the Reds drew level immediately after half-time, putting on 15 pick-and-drive phases for Scott Higginbotham to crash over.
Will Genia made it two tries in the first five minutes of the second half with a brilliant solo effort, splitting defenders before pinning back the ears and beating Lelia Masaga to the corner.
Having secured their first four-point bonus try of the season, the hosts took just moments to add their fifth, this time through replacement hooker Saia Faingaa, who crashed over at the back of a driving maul.
A late try from wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma was the Chiefs' only reply.

The Broken Record: 'We Just Couldn't Score Goals.'
Scott Taylor
January 24 2012 08:05PM
The Jets fought hard, but they just can't score goals.
Tuesday night, TSN Jets TV play-by-play man Dennis Beyak said something that few people would try in NHL12: "Thorburn with the one-timer!!!"
Sorry, being facetious. I don't want to rip at Chris Thorburn. He's not the only guy who can't score. Fact is, the Winnipeg Jets couldn't score in a women's prison with a handful of pardons.
Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, the New York Rangers shut out the Jets 3-0 to drop Winnipeg to 7-14-4 on the road this season and 3-8-1 overall in January. The Jets went past the .500 mark on Dec. 3. Now, they're back to .500 at 22-22-6. They have scored only 20 goals in 12-plus (counting overtime) games this month.
They are in a slump.
And they have slumped for the same reason they got off to a slow start this season. They have slumped for the same reason we've been harping on the team's management since the club arrived in Winnipeg from Atlanta: This team can not score goals. I wouldn't suggest to anyone that I know how to do it, but the tall foreheads who run this franchise need to find a couple of goal-scorers.
"I thought we played well," captain Andrew Ladd told TSN Jets TV. "We're getting sustained pressure on teams, we're working very hard and getting plenty of chances. We just have to start putting the puck in the net. The effort was there. We have to put some wins together and get back in this race."
Ladd was absolutely right. There was nothing wrong with the Jets effort on Monday or Tuesday night. The Jets lost two games by scores of 2-1 and 3-0, not because they merely went through the motions, but because they worked hard and yet simply couldn't coax the puck into the opposition's net.
"I thought we played hard, we were physical, we tried to generate things," said Jets head coach Claude Noel on TSN Jets TV. "We just couldn't score goals. We're not a team that finishes. It doesn't come naturally for us. I thought we had a little trouble generating offence from the back end. I would have liked to have seen more shots. But I thought our effort was good."
Tuesday night the Jets played against a very good New York Rangers team and gave them one heck of a game in their building. The Jets were outshot 31-22, but it's not like the Winnipegs didn't have the puck in the Rangers zone for much of the game. Winnipeg skated hard and checked hard and deserved better than a 3-0 loss. Effort was not the issue.
"We've hit a dry spell and it's a little bit frustrating," said Noel. "We're going to have to take a break and try to regroup when we get back. We have trouble scoring goals. It's simple. We just have trouble scoring goals.
Now, in fairness, the Jets played without Dustin Byfuglien, Evander Kane and Alexander Burmistrov. That hurts. And if you listen closely to Noel, there is no guarantee that any of them are coming back soon.
"I don't know," Noel said when asked by Tim Campbell of the Free Press about the status of the injuries. "Byfuglien hasn't skated with us yet. I don't know about Kane. We'll get back on track here with our injuries. We have hope. So don't lose hope. During the (all-star) break, we're going to try and repair our injuries and get better. Don't lose hope."
Winnipeg fans will not lose hope. They wouldn't mind seeing a few goals, though.
January 25 2012, 02:19PM
"Fact is, the Winnipeg Jets couldn't score in a women's prison with a handful of pardons."
Scott...I loved it when you used that line so many years ago and I still get a kick out of it now!! Too bad the line is absolutely the truth when it comes to the new edition Jets!
Cheers, Les

One Direction's 1D Day is coming! Are you ready?
As many of you probably know, we here at the STACKS absolutely LOVE One Direction! From their first album to This Is Us, we've been following their exciting journey to superstardom and loving every minute of it.
For those who don't know what 1D Day is, it's basically an unofficial One Direction holiday. In celebration of their album, Midnight Memories, 1D has launched a worldwide movement for their fans. Directioners like you (and me!) can get creative in celebrating 1D Day by making music videos, sharing favorite photos and songs, creating collages, and wearing 1D gear. 1D Day will happen on Saturday, November 23, 2013.
To make the day extra-special, the boys have a lot of really cool stuff planned. One Direction will be holding a seven-hour live video broadcast to connect with fans around the world. They've announced that they're going to try to break a world record every hour (for things like highest toilet paper roll pile)! They'll also be hanging out with some guests throughout the day: Celine Dion, Simon Cowell, Kelly Rowland, Piers Morgan, The Muppets, Khloe Kardashian, and even Robbie Williams (who used to be in a famous British boyband himself).
Here at the STACKS, we're taking the opportunity to revisit all of our favorite One Direction activities and posts from the past. Check out our One Direction ABC, and play One Direction "Would You Rather?" with a friend who's also a fan. If you're really a Directioner, test your fan knowledge with our One Direction quiz! And don't forget to check out our awesome interview with 1D.
Are you excited for 1D Day? Will you be participating? How will you show your love for all things One Direction? Share in the Comments below!

Pirates Of The Caribbean 5: Johnny Depp needs money
So many movie trailers during the Super Bowl, including a new one for Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, aka Johnny Depp needs money. It's not that expectations were never high for Pirates 5 given how much money it cost to make. Full Story
Johnny Depp is omitted from his own movie
You know a celebrity is in the doghouse when they don't appear in their own trailer. The teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: This Again Yarrr was released last night and it does not feature Johnny Depp Full Story
The friendliest travel partners
The two most approachable actors in Hollywood arrived together at LAX yesterday. That was probably a warm flight, non? Having said that, Sean Penn has kinda softened the last few months…I guess? It's amazing the standard we have when it comes to him. That just because he's not putting his fist into someone's face, it means he's nice now. Full Story
Penelope post Luna
Stuart C. Wilson/ BEN STANSALL/ Getty
It's been so long since we've seen her on a carpet and seeing her here now... Look at her. I have missed her. She is glorious. A vision! Here's Penelope Cruz at a London screening of The Counselor with Javier Bardem and Michael Fassbender. Ordinarily, I'd maaayyyybe wonder if the floor length gown is kinda over the top buuuuuut. Full Story
The Counselor clips
There are a total of four people featured in these 3 clips from The Counselor which were released yesterday in advance of the trailer which is coming out some time today which means, f-ck, do I have to write about this twice? Of the four people featured, two of them are awesome and the other two, at least in these scenes, I find intolerable. Full Story
Bardem, Cruz, Diaz, Fassbender, Pitt
How would you rank that cast in order of "importance"? Fassbender, on history, given that he's only been famous (and he's not THAT famous, considering the rest) for 3 or 4 years or so, would have to come last, right? Alphabetical seems most fair. The film is Ridley Scott's The Counselor. Full Story
Cameron's Counselor costumes
That's quite the wardrobe today on Cameron Diaz on the set of Ridley Scott's The Counselor shooting in Alicante, Spain today. Javier Bardem was there too -- with the spiky hair. Fine but it's always about Gwyneth Paltrow, isn't it? Let me show you how we play that game: G is Cam's best friend. Full Story
Bardem > Bane?
Remember when Bane was supposed to be super scary and...he wasn't? A new international trailer for Bond has just been released. Javier Bardem looks terrifying. And you have already seen Bardem be terrifying in No Country For Old Men. It was the breathing and it was that f-cking hair. Maybe the key for him is the hair. Full Story
Penelope & Javier: Happy 2 years
Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden married 2 years ago this month. Here they are in Madrid today having dinner with some friends. I love what she's wearing. I also love the picture of her pointing her finger. Maybe that's the face she gave to David Miscavige when he asked her to marry Tom Cruise. Full Story
Penelope for Rome, Ridley, and Pedro
Here are Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and their little Leo heading out of Madrid last week. To Rome With Love opens in limited release on June 22. There should be a promotional appearance for it coming soon. Or several. Have you seen the trailer? I hate. The music makes me crazy. The music makes me wonder if the entire film will be all Mamma Mia Pizzeria Ciao Bella Gucci Donatella! Anyway, Pene's next project will also be an ensemble. Full Story
Bond 23: Skyfall
Daniel Deme/WENN
Well, I guess it's a better than Quantum of Solace. Still... Skyfall isn't lighting me on fire on originality, you know? Skyfall is the title of a Tom Cruise movie. Tom Cruise would be really, really excited about something called Skyfall. Which is the next Bond.They announced it at a photo call today in London. Full Story

Wake Island
Wake Island, about halfway between Midway and Guam, is an atoll consisting of the three islets of Wilkes, Peale, and Wake. The islets were discovered by the British in 1796 and annexed by the U.S. in 1899. In 1938, Pan American Airways established a seaplane base, and Wake Island was used as a commercial base for several years. On Dec. 8, 1941, it was attacked by the Japanese, who took possession on Dec. 23. It was surrendered by the Japanese on Sept. 4, 1945.

Massachusetts State Police have released the identity of a Springfield man they say was shot and killed by a trooper over the weekend during a highway traffic stop.
State Police spokesman David Procopio says a trooper observed a BMW speed past his cruiser on Interstate 91 South early Sunday morning. After pulling the vehicle over at the entrance to I-291 East, Procopio says there was a struggle between the trooper and the driver, who's been identified as 23-year-old Wayne Edwards II.
"During that altercation, the trooper discharged his service weapon. As a result of that discharge, the suspect, operator of the vehicle was pronounced deceased at Baystate Medical Center," Procopio says.
Procopio would not comment on what sparked the altercation, saying the incident was now under review.
"That investigation will entail witness statements, physical evidence and medical evidence. And ultimately will be reviewed by the District Attorney who will, as in all cases of deadly force, rule as to whether the use of force by the trooper was appropriate given the circumstances," Procopio says.
Procopio says the probe will also look into the ownership of two loaded handguns with their serial numbers removed that were later found in Edwards' vehicle. He says a female passenger who sustained a cut to her arm while getting out of the car following the shooting was treated and released from hospital. Police are not releasing her name or that of the trooper involved.

Towards the end of this past year I learned about MDLinx and signed up for the newsletter on Plastic Surgery related articles. I was very impressed this past week to get the "Top Read Articles of 2009." I noticed many articles of interest which I had not read. Most were in journals I don't have full access to: Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery, Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, etc.
Here are five that caught my eye:
1. Decreasing expander breast infection: A new drain care protocol; The Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery, Spring 2009, Volume 17 Issue 1: 17-21; JD Murray, ET Elwood, GE Jones, R Barrick, J Feng (abstract)
2. A new validated otoplasty dressing technique; Eur J Plast Surg (2009) 32:119–121; Mohammad Mehdi Samim & David Mather &
Sharif Al-Ghazal (abstract)
3. The treatment of dermal scars by three-dimensional Z-plasty; Eur J Plast Surg (2009) 32:221–222; Bin Xu & Pengcheng Jiang & Bing Wang (abstract)
4. Surgical Treatment of Rhinophyma; Advances in Dermatology and Allergology, 2009, XXVI, 3: 126-133; Edward Lewandowicz, Henry Witmanowski, Daria Sobieszek (abstract)
5.

MDLinx is a medical news and information source, free with registration. It reviews 1200 medical journals daily. The articles are indexed by 35 specialties and 845 subspecialties. I am finding it to be a nice source of information.
