GDB XLIX: West meets sort-of West
Jason Gregor
January 20 2010 02:22PM
What a difference twelve wins makes. The Canucks have 28 wins compared to the Oilers' 16 and it was apparent in their practices this morning.
The Canucks were joking around, laughing, playing shooting games and having some fun competitions while the Oilers didn't even have a full squad on the ice. Dustin Penner and Shawn Horcoff didn't skate and the Oilers skate was very brief this morning.
However, you get the sense that the Oilers will be ready to compete tonight after their worst performance of the season on Monday. Even the Canuck players were talking about how they expect the Oilers to be in a feisty mood tonight.
The Canucks with Ryan Kesler, Shane O'Brien, Kevin Bieksa, Alex Burrows, Rick Rypien and Darcy Hordichuk are feisty most games, but expect more emotion tonight than the past few games we've watched at Rexall Place.
This is the fifth meeting of the season between these teams and so far it has been a homer series. The Oilers won at Rexall on October 19th 2-1, while the Canucks have won three straight games at home v. the Oilers by scores of 2-0, 4-1 and 7-3.
The Canucks have been resting after a stellar 6-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday and they are rolling going 6-2-2 in their last ten. Henrik Sedin continues to be the surprise of the NHL leading the league with 67 points. Henrik is averaging 1.39 points per game, while his brother Daniel is averaging 1.3 and has 39 points in 30 games.
The Sedins have killed the Oilers in their career and along with Alex Burrows they are the hottest line in the NHL.
In the last ten games they've combined for 44 points. Henrik has four goals and 17 points, Burrows has eleven goals and fourteen points while Daniel has three goals and thirteen points. As a team the Oilers have scored 19 goals in the past ten games while the Sisters and Burrows have potted 18.
That shows how good they've been as a line, while also demonstrating how unproductive the Oilers have been as a team.
The good news is that normally at least these two teams put on a good show. The Oilers will be pissed off tonight and the Canucks are always ready to play a chippy game so we should see some fireworks tonight.
Roberto Luongo will start for the Canucks while Devan Dubnyk will get the call for the Oilers. Also Pavel Demitra will play centre tonight for the Canucks on their 2nd line.
Welcome back Comrie
For the first time in over two months Mike Comrie skated with his teammates this morning. Comrie is feeling better and is hoping that he is four or five good practices away from returning to the lineup. The Oilers would welcome him with open arms.
He's played 16 games, but admitted that in the last four games he probably shouldn't have played because he had no energy, but he still managed five goals in 16 games which put him on pace for 25. He is excited to get back on the ice and talked about helping the young guys deal with some scoring issues. He mentioned how important is was for him to have Doug Weight, Ryan Smyth and Anson Carter around when he was young and how they gave him some tips to be more offensive.
I think it's fair to say that Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano and Robert Nilsson could benefit from having Comrie's advice not to mention watching how he is able to score despite his size.
Trade talk is heating up
I mentioned last week how Anaheim and Ottawa have an interest in Ethan Moreau, and that hasn't changed, although no deal is set in place. But the Oilers have taken more calls and made more calls this week regarding Moreau, Sheldon Souray and Steve Staios. There is some interest out there, and it will be a matter of finding out how serious that interest is.
Staios' injury might prevent a deal, but he is feeling better and if he can return and play ten games before the Olympic break he could be dealt. Some quiet whispers that once again the Kings might be interested in Souray and maybe even Moreau but right now they are only whispers. It does sound like there is legitimate interest in some of the Oiler veterans.
You'd like to think that that might light get them to play a bit better because Souray and Moreau haven't played very well for the past ten to fifteen games.

Oh I know, but having the lines the way they are now is an improvement IMO and increases our victory chances going forward....
Well, if the trade rumours have some kind of truth to them then that 3rd line wont be together for too long.
January 20 2010, 09:53PM
The only problem with this is it could kill our drive for one...I'd really like to have Taylor Hall here.
Anyone watch the prospects game? Hall was player of the game for Team Cherry. He looked better than Seguin did, I thought.
January 20 2010, 09:57PM
Oh and just in case there are any footy fans around, Gunners are on top of the table. It feels good to cheer for a team that is actually good.
Anyone watch the prospects game? Hall was player of the game for Team Cherry. He looked better than Seguin did, I thought.
Just a hunch but Hall will clearly distance himself from the rest and be the easy number one pick in June...

That was a crap call, Grebeshkov never touched him with his stick....the guy just dove..period
January 20 2010, 10:38PM
@Poo Czar
As much as I'm firmly on the DFF bandwagon, that was one of the worst calls I've seen all season. Garbage.
Congrats Canucks, you barely beat the worst team in the West on nothing but powerplay goals.
January 20 2010, 10:38PM
Good game. Oilers prove to be competent, but still lose. Everybody wins...except the Oilers...but then again that's a win anyway.
January 20 2010, 10:41PM
That was a crap call, Grebeshkov never touched him with his stick....the guy just dove..period
Yeah it looked like a can opener at first but when they showed it again he didn't get his stick in Raymonds feet. That should have been a penalty to both teams. I really wanted this one too so that I could listen to David Pratt and the rest of those smug Vancouver Media heads choke on everything they said today. Crushing to say the least. Also I would have prefered that if they were going to lose then do it in regulation but its not like they knew this would happen... did they?

Gotta feel for Dubnyk and the Oil after that loss.
Re trade rumours, I don't understand why the Oilers would be interested in trading either Cogliano or Visnovsky as Dreger stated. IMO Cogs still needs some time and Vis is the Oilers best Dman by far.

Cogs is 10 games with decent linemates and some more PP time away from being an impact player. My guess is he's hot trade bait right now. We'd be stupid to get rid of him. Which means...

I double that sentiment
I'm not sure but i think its the laws of attraction or quantum physics but but when you put out strudwick and Horcoff on that 4on3 pk, your going to lose.
Ahh... the superpowers of us immortals. Even when we miss something, our x-ray vision lets us go back in time to read that mess ;-) Good job js.

Argentina takes series over Canada in women's volleyball
BUENOS AIRES – Argentina defeated Canada 25-18, 25-21, 25-22 in women's volleyball on Saturday to conclude the five-match series with four wins.
The Canadians took the first match of the series on Monday in five sets but the Argentineans have come back strong with wins on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
The Canadians, ranked 24th the world, are currently tuning up for the FIVB women's world volleyball championships set for October 29 to November 14 in Japan. Argentina, ranked 19th, did not qualify for the worlds.
Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., was the top Canadian scorer on Saturday with 10 points, team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland Man., added nine and Jennifer Hinze of Vancouver eighth.
"I'm not happy with the result tonight," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "But, I could see progress from the other matches despite our loss. The first week's goal was to play everyone; next week's goal will be to work on individual skills to eliminate errors and try to connect more as a team on the court."
Canada's next match is Monday against Peru.

Universities and Colleges
Statements By Members

Rod Bruinooge Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, Canadian universities educate more than 1.5 million students annually, perform more than one-third of Canada's research and development, and remain this country's critical centres of learning, discovery and innovation.
The Government of Canada has always played a strong and important role in supporting learning and innovation. As part of Canada's economic action plan, we have invested over $2 billion in the knowledge infrastructure program, supporting infrastructure enhancement at universities across the country. Going forward, universities and government must continue to work together in the development of the talent that will ensure Canada remains a very prosperous nation.
Today I am very pleased to welcome the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada and more than 40 university presidents from coast to coast who have joined us here on Parliament Hill.
They are here to discuss ideas on research and innovation, international education, copyright reform and aboriginal access to higher education. I ask all members to join me in welcoming them to Parliament Hill.
Tamil Community

2:05 p.m.
Derek Lee Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to speak about the contributions made by the Tamil community to the fabric that makes up our multicultural nation.
This cultural community has forged roots across the country and has excelled in all areas of Canadian endeavour. Since the 1940s, when the first Tamils immigrated here, the community has grown to about a quarter million. Tamils are teachers, entrepreneurs, bankers, doctors, researchers, lawyers, engineers, professors, athletes, corporate executives, and other such occupations. Education is highly revered in the community, and more than 5,000 Tamil Canadian students are currently pursuing post-secondary education in Ontario alone. Their businesses are a part of the infrastructure of our communities and provide good services and jobs.
Recognizing the burdens imposed by a violent 30-year homeland conflict, we believe it is time that this important community's full contribution to our country is acknowledged, and that steps are taken to ensure that the image of Tamil Canadians is no longer tarnished by hurtful and false stereotypes. Such negative stereotyping in our media and in political discourse is hurtful and unhelpful in our grand Canadian enterprise.
North Korea

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, our government has taken a firm, principled stand against the North Korean government's continued reckless and unacceptable behaviour, including its aggressive weapons program and the sinking of the South Korean vessel Cheonan.
The imposition of tough, targeted economic sanctions and the adoption of a controlled engagement policy limiting our bilateral relations with the North Korean government sends a clear message that its aggressive actions will not be tolerated.
These new sanctions are targeted specifically against the North Korean government and not the people of North Korea. We will not block remittances or humanitarian aid from reaching the people of North Korea.
We strongly believe that North Korea must take tangible steps to improve its behaviour and comply with its obligations under international law.
Our government continues to fight for the values of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law around the world.
Quebec's Agri-food Industry

France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, a Léger Marketing survey conducted from September 27 to 30 confirmed that our agricultural products are a source of great pride for Quebeckers, and for good reason. Be it because of their variety, their freshness or the role they play in our economy, Quebec products are a unique treasure.
Quebec's agri-food industry is made up of 500,000 passionate people who work every day to provide us with a smorgasbord of delicious food, from lamb to berries to ice cider. Their expertise contributes to the sterling reputation of our products, both at home and abroad.
As the member for Compton—Stanstead and the deputy critic for agriculture and agri-food, I am proud to represent hundreds of agricultural producers. I applaud the fact that Quebeckers find a source of pride on their plates at every meal.
Municipal Elections

Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week, we saw democracy in action. People of all ages, backgrounds and political stripes stepped up and did something honourable. They put their names forward to represent the citizens of their towns, cities, and municipalities.
In this House, we have all done this. We know first-hand the challenge of throwing our hats into the ring and trying to do something good for the regions we love.
Today, I would like to congratulate all who ran in these municipal elections.
To the people who were acclaimed, elected, or re-elected: great job and good luck. The road they have chosen can be difficult at times, but it is also very rewarding.
To the people who were not successful: my hat is off to them as well. We need more people to do what they have done. That is what makes democracy work.
I ask all members in this House to join me in congratulating all the candidates who participated in these municipal elections.
I would also like to wish our newest politicians the very best as they embark in public life.
Democracy and Human Rights Throughout the World

Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, all members of the House agree on an important issue: promoting democracy and human rights throughout the world, and especially supporting elected representatives and members of parliamentary assemblies who are threatened for expressing their political views.
On September 23, Mr. Sam Rainsy, an opposition leader in Cambodia, was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, along with fines and damages. If this prosecution, coupled with a number of other prosecutions of outspoken opposition members, is allowed to stand, Cambodia's democratic process will be seriously hampered.
The Inter-Parliamentary Union met on October 6 and passed a unanimous resolution calling on the authorities to explore all the issues surrounding this prosecution and attempt to solve them through political dialogue, so that Mr. Rainsy might be able to resume his parliamentary activities.
I urge all members of this House to stand together and encourage the Cambodian authorities to accept the resolution passed by the IPU, the recommendations of the UN special rapporteur, and to ensure the—

Bernard Généreux Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are promising to cancel the F-35 program, thus jeopardizing tens of thousands of jobs. However, our government is reaffirming its support for the more than 80,000 men and women working in the aerospace industry.
While attending the annual general meeting of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, president and CEO Claude Lajeunesse indicated that the Liberal Party's ambiguity on the purchase of F-35 fighter jets is hurting the Canadian aerospace industry.
He also said:
If the contract is cancelled, and even if there is ambiguity surrounding the contract, it is clear that some Canadians will suffer because jobs will not be available...Some jobs will eventually disappear if the contract is cancelled.
If it were up to the Liberals, the F-35 program would be cancelled and tens of thousands of jobs in the aerospace sector would be in jeopardy.
The economic recovery is fragile, and the hard-working men and women in this sector can count on our government to defend them.

Jack Harris St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, National Geographic Traveler had a panel of experts rate 99 of the world's great islands, coastlines, and beaches for sustainability and authenticity.
I am happy to say they ranked Newfoundland and Labrador's Avalon Peninsula as number one. The Avalon was extolled for its "stunning natural and cultural integrity", "home to one of the oldest English cities in North America--the provincial capital of St. John's--and a winding coastline dotted with picturesque and accessible fishing villages that look out on the Atlantic Ocean" with "unspoiled scenery ranging from stark moonscapes to crystal-clear lakes to open land where caribou roam".
This is in competition with the world, with Wales, New Zealand, Chile, and Hawaii, which were also in the top 10.
B.C.'s Gulf Islands and Nova Scotia's South Shore were rated in seventh and eighth place respectively, and Prince Edward Island ranked seventeenth.
We are proud of the recognition given to the Avalon Peninsula as number one and encourage all Canadians to come and visit the Avalon and all Newfoundland and Labrador. We hope they will see for themselves what the excitement is all about.

Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government supports Canadian aerospace jobs.
While the Liberals play politics with the F-35 program, a plan that will cost 80,000 Canadian aerospace jobs, we stand with Canadians and their families.
Claude Lajeunesse, president of the AIAC, is concerned about the coalition threat to kill the program. He said, "Uncertainty about this decision is hurting us.... It is jeopardizing the creation of value-added jobs that Canadians need. Any uncertainty around Canada's decision or signals to our partners in the program that Canada may not proceed with this acquisition will jeopardize our sector's ability to secure our maximum share of this enduring and value-added work".
In these times of global economic uncertainty, we cannot risk having the coalition cost Canada tens of thousands of jobs. We cannot risk taking the best equipment away from the brave men and women of our Canadian forces.
Decorum in the House

Claude DeBellefeuille Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives promised they would do their part to improve decorum in the House, but they keep spouting nonsense as a diversionary tactic.
The Conservatives are in hot water these days, what with rumours of patronage, collusion with contractors and backroom financing deals swirling around their heads. In an effort to deflect attention and avoid facing the music and answering the allegations against them, the only thing they can come up with is to try discrediting the opposition with low blows and cheap shots. They are making unfounded statements out of pure demagoguery with a distinctly Conservative flavour. It is unfortunate that the person who should be leading by example, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, is contributing to this overheated environment.
Instead of looking for problems where there are none, the Conservatives should take a good look at their own caucus. There is an elephant in the House.
Brain Tumour Awareness Month

Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, October is Brain Tumour Awareness Month in Canada.
Over 55,000 Canadians are currently living with a brain tumour. Over 10,000 more will be diagnosed with a tumour this year, one-third of which are children like my little buddy, Trevor.
Brain tumours do not discriminate. Adults, seniors, children are all vulnerable to the prospect of this form of cancer.
These tumours can sometimes go undetected for months, even years, making early diagnosis and treatment especially crucial.
In the past few decades, great strides have been made in learning more about this unique form of cancer, but much more work and research remains to be done. This research not only helps those in the hunt for a cure; it also helps those afflicted with the disease to live richer lives under often difficult and debilitating circumstances.
The motto of the awareness month is "Imagine a Cure". It is up to us to make sure that in our lifetimes we not only imagine a cure, but also realize one.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberals held an invitation-only event asking women to make a big donation to join the Laurier Club, a high-dollar donor group with privileged access to Liberal Party insiders. They sold the night as an event to "build your networks in the capital".
Selling access to female Liberal MPs, is that how the Liberals reach out to Canadian women? Why are the Liberals interested only in women who can pay $1,000 at the door?
Our government cares about all Canadian women. We have listened to the concerns of Canadian women. That is why we have taken action to toughen our crime laws. That is why we have given families a choice in child care through the universal child-care benefit. While the Liberals only care about the chequebook in the women's handbag, we have taken action to protect the jobs of Canadian women and the safety and economic well-being of all families.

Mr. Speaker, Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
In the case of the Chinook military helicopters, the Conservative sole-sourced, untendered, non-competitive process caused overruns of 100% and at least five years' delay. The Auditor General says that fiasco could well be repeated on the F-35 purchase: sole-sourced, untendered, non-competitive.
Why will the government not listen to Sheila Fraser, define the specifications and get competitive bids?

Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, nothing could be further from the truth. We are following a process that was put in place by the previous government. The previous government put it in place because it understood that at the end of this decade we would have to replace our CF-18 fighters and we would have to be part of a world consortium and get the best of that here, not just the best planes, but get the work to be done in our country.
That is why the previous government did it. Now the Liberals want to play coalition politics to scrap this deal. This government will not play politics with the men and women of the armed forces or the Canadian air force.

Not Canada's day at beach volleyball World Tour stop
STAVANGER, Norway – Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., (in photo) and Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle lost their third round robin match Thursday and did not advance to the elimination round at a stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit in beach volleyball.
Martin and Lessard lost to fifth seeds Talita Antunes and Maria Antonelli of Brazil 21-17, 21-17. Canada's top ranked international pair is mired in a bit of a slump after also going 0-3 at the world championships last week in Rome.
However they feel they are getting back on track.
''We are playing better and better,''said Lessard, who has been battling an ankle sprain suffered earlier this month at the World Tour stop in Beijing. ''It's only a question of time before we start winnning again because our level of play is getting back to what it was at the beginning of the season.''
Meanwhile in men's competition, Christian Redmann of Toronto and Ben Saxton of Calgary lost their first two round robin matches both in heartbreaking fashion.
They took world championship silver medallists Marcio Araujo and Ricardo Alex Costa Santos of Brazil to the limit falling 19-21, 21-19, 15-13 then dropped a 19-21, 21-17, 15-13 decision to Russians Konstantin Semenov and Yaroslav Kosharev.
The Canadian pair are in must win situation Friday in order to advance.

It's out: http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/637
I'm expecting lots of reactions to this. Not sure I like this development, I mean Obito was nearly killed, and all of a sudden, he's the juubi's jinchuriki, without any seals? Madara didn't seem that bothered either. Perhaps because he's still got influence on half of Obito?
hhmmm. Not really sure what to make of that. But remember that Obito nearly ripped the Kyuubi out of Naruto with one hand, so i guess he could be able to become a Jinchuriki as long as he had contact with the Jyuubi. Its a stretch, but i guess i could accept it.
Minato's Thunder God technique was pretty cool. I wonder what will happen now.....Look for Sasuke to be controlled into making the Moons eye plan now i guess.
Well, Madara saw Sasuke's Susanoo, and I'm starting to think he doesn't care that there is another living Uchiha lol Since he and Obito haven't really had a chance to talk since his arrival, I wonder if he even knows what Obito and Itachi did.
I kind of already predicted this a few chapters ago as a possibility that Obito would steal the Jyuubi while Madara was busy. However I thought the sealing process would take longer but perhaps cause has the Rinnegan...
In the end I think controlling the Jyuubi as Jinchuuriki may prove to e too much for him and he will be overwhelmed by its power.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
But why doesn't Madara seem to be affected by it? He's like "oh well". Perhaps the mangastream translation sheds some more light on it. I just can't understand yet how Obito could become the jinchuriki, without some seal. How did he manage to connect to it, and at that point? This, combined with Madara's smirk, makes me wonder..
Edit: I'd also like to comment on what happened to Sasuke's arrow. At first, I thought it slipped through Obito. And Madara smiling because of another Uchiha and Susanoo. But then I noticed it's the rods from Obito's right side that fly out and blocks the arrow.
Pretty quick chapter but some vital bits of information. Namely the fact that the markings of the Flying Thunder God Technique can endure, undetected, for decades. Obito was on the verge of death, reconstructed by Madara with the RINNEGAN and the markings still weren't discovered. In addition, the most startling element is the fact that Minato can use the FTGT with a fucking clone.
THIS is why the man had a flee on sight order placed on him by opposing village armies. Fucking boss.
As to Obito, nice to see Kakashi's weak ass wasn't able to finish him. He allowed himself to be defeated and he even anticipated Madara's plan to use him as a pawn for his own resurrection and used it to become the Jinchuriki? Awesome.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
So now everyone knows about So6p forbidden jutsu, even Hashirama ?
Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight. Obito allowed himself to be defeated, because he needed Madara to use his trick and when Madara used it, Obito instead overtook it, powered up himself and performed instant sealing jutsu thanks to it, is that right ?
What's more, Naruto is the only one that noticed that be sensing his intentions, while 4th was blinded by his emotion at that time ?
What a badass obito. Playing madara n in a way the 4th for the fool. Though im surprised minato didn't realise it was obito right away when he sensed the marking was on his body.
Hee Hee, all right ^_^ good for you Obito, finally your going to get some power to go with your excellent defense. I hope you can control it though, at least for a little while. (He's probably going to die by Madara extracting the ten tails).
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off

Wedding shoe winner
"Bought these shoes after a long search for an acceptable and affordable pair. Saw these on sale and bought them right away. They are perfect. They do run just a little small, but not enough to justify getting a half size bigger. All in all a really good value for an attractive and comfy shoe."

Great shoe for the price
"I just got these today and they'll be perfect for my wedding. I agree with what others have said - the slingback is too loose for my heel so I'll have to have it taken in. All in all, though, a good deal!"

I've recently bought Xperia S, and overall I'm very happy with the phone and one of the reasons I bought this specific model was separate HDMI output.
Unfortunately I seem to have some problems when i connect my phone to tv.
While i get video and audio, the phone seems to slow down dramaticly, the ui starts to get laggy ans way less responsive than it would be normally.
Actions like bringing the notification area or app browser are not fluid anymore.
Also games like "cut the rope", etc have very bad performance. it instantly gets fixed if i unplug hdmi cable out of the phone.
I'm not sure what is the reason, but TV always reports the signal as 1080p (i was expecting the phone would output 720p ?), my phone was bought in Poland and firmware version is 6.0.A.3.62.
The "signal" quality setting doesnt seem to do anything visible for me. i was thinking maybe its because phone does some upscaling? I've tried the setting for screen size 80%-100% in hdmi options - but it doesnt seem to have any visible performance impact on my phone sam as with signal quality setting which doesnt seem to do anything at all.
Ok, so this is tested on 2 TV's now of different brands - and every time the problem is reproductible, phone slows down when TV is connected.
Cant anyone from sony support give a hint what might be the problem ?
I just checked on my Xperia S, connecting it to a TV and played World of Goo. I must say I experience no lags or slow performance. Check if a software reinstall could fix your problem, and try again.
What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey
I did software reinstall and had fresh wipe of everything - no effect unfortunatelly.
I was at sony shop today and i connected the phone to bravia TV - same effect so tv brand doesnt seem to make any difference.
The effect was like game dropped to 20fps from 60 fps. The salesperson said it might be because sending video to both outputs is more resource intensive but i belive this would not be the case here.
Any more ideas?
Ok, so i've found a "scientific" measurable way to test.
In quadrant (free test in market) i get following results:
Without tv plugged in: ~3100, flyby in room with stairs 30-50 fps
With TV plugged in: ~2700, flyby in room with stairs 20-25 fps so only 50% of what i get normally and there is visible frame skipping
can someone check that on your phone ?
Ok, someone from another forum (also user from poland) confirmed my results,
Quadrant scores dont show big drop, but FPS got slashed in half.
Can someone from sony support test this on ther version of firmware .67 maybe fixed this issue?
I bought phone specificly for HDMI usage so this finding is very problematic for me.
Hi I have the same problem but only when I connect to a TV that is able to control the phone via hdmi, using the tv remote.
when I connected it to an older model tv that didn't have that capability, the phone did not suffer from slows and working as usual.

Absolutely No Heel Cushioning
"I've had two pair of Air Pegasus 28, but since the stores don't seem to stock that model any more, I ordered Air Pegasus 29. I ordered it on line so I couldn't check the heel cushioning before it was purchased. I just received this pair and I lifted the inner sole to check the heel cushioning and found that the heel portion feels like concrete. My experience has been that no amount of innersole cushioning will be enough to prevent heel pain when the shoe itself is rock hard. My #1 concern with running shoes is comfort so Nike, please bring back the cushioning that you had before! I'm disappointed, and this pair will be going back ASAP."

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
Last week, Tupelo Certified Public Accountant Joe Babb was nominated by Mayor Jack Reed Jr. and unanimously approved by the City Council to fill a spot on the Tupelo School Board. Daily Journal education reporter Chris Kieffer spoke to Babb about his service on the board.
Q: One of the assets the mayor highlighted was your ability to connect with young families. What will you do to try to convince young families to keep their children in the Tupelo Public School District?
A: First of all, I don't think it is my role to try to convince others where to send their children to school. I think that is a very private decision that each family must make based upon what they think is in the best interest of their child. That's something that I honor and respect.
However, my wife, Lauren, and I, after weighing all options chose to send our children to Tupelo Public Schools. We have been very pleased. Our oldest is completing first grade after attending kindergarten. Our youngest will start kindergarten next year. At Carver, our oldest has had a great experience this year. The environment has been safe and enriching. She has a wonderful teacher and the administrators have been easy to work with and very accessible about any of our concerns. It has been academically challenging for her. For instance, she is doing algebra in the first grade. She has a warm relationship with her teacher, as do her parents, and has had an easy time of social acclimation. That's been our experience.
Q: What were your impressions of Tupelo schools when you were growing up in Ripley?
A: My impressions of Tupelo was that it was a place with good leadership that cared about its public school system. I think when Tupelo's leadership stood up for public education in Tupelo during the time when public schools all over the state were threatened, that set the tone for the region, and I think because of that, Northeast Mississippi has been a prosperous place and wonderful place to raise a family. We have quite a legacy to uphold.
Q: What do you see as the most important challenges facing the school district?
A: I think this district needs to continue to find ways to foster community support and nourish the sense of pride that can exist around a school system. I think that is done by giving teachers the support they need in the classroom and by being open-minded to parents with concerns.
I am excited. Our generation has the opportunity to solidify and reaffirm this proud district. If we as parents will stick together and work together we will accomplish unbelievable things together through Tupelo Public Schools.
When things don't go right, we'll find a solution together. When they do, we will celebrate.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, according to league sources.
NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.
Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.
The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.
The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.
Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday but that is not set in stone.
The league refused comment but did confirm Monday that they were reviewing a possible violation by the Patriots.

Grand Canyon: Awe-Inspiring Wonder
From ancient sites to dizzying heights, the Grand Canyon offers a jaw-dropping journey into the wild. Check out these highlights within the Grand Canyon's 1.2 million acres, from South to North Rim.
Yaki PointWithin the Grand Canyon take in the view from Yaki Point. From an elevation of 7,000 feet, you'll see the rocky terrain dotted with pinyon pines and junipers -- trees with nuts that sustain wildlife such as deer, squirrels, ringtail and birds. 960 1280
Hopi HouseArchitect Mary Colter designed Hopi House in 1905. Today, this Pueblo-style building is the Grand Canyon's largest gift store; it features a large selection of authentic Native American art and craftwork. The building is located in Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. 960 1280

Cathedral Rock, Sedona, ArizonaOne of the most-photographed sights in Arizona, Cathedral Rock is a must-see stop if you're taking an RV road trip through America's Southwest. We recommend visiting Red Rock Crossing at Oak Creek in Sedona for the best view of this amazing rock formation. 960 1280

And if hikers should ever need them, a ranger presence and emergency phones are located along the trail. 960 1280

North RimBegin your grand journey here! The North Rim, located 30 miles south of Jacob Lake on Highway 67, is the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park. We recommend guests plan ahead. Visitor lodging, food services and the road from Jacob Lake to the North Rim are open from mid-May to mid-October. 960 1280

The North Kaibab Trail (pictured) is also accessible from the parking area. This trail begins at the head of Roaring Springs Canyon and ends at the Colorado River. 960 1280
Grand Canyon Camper VillageLooking for the best spot to camp in the Grand Canyon? Head to Grand Canyon Camper Village, located a mile south of the park entrance on Highway 64 in Tusayan, AZ. This campground offers a convenient camping location for RVs, trailers and tents. The campground also has an IMAX theater, general store, restaurants, shopping and park shuttle stops all within walking distance. 960 1280

Grand Canyon SkywalkGet awe-inspiring views from the Grand Canyon Skywalk, owned by the Hualapai Indian tribe. The transparent-horseshoe bridge operates like a conveyor belt, providing tourists with great vantage points to gaze at the majestic canyon from 4,770 feet above the Colorado River. 960 1280
Rim TrailPlan a day of hiking on the Rim Trail, located on the North/South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Hikers can start their trek from any viewpoint in Grand Canyon Village or along Hermit Road. The trail stretches 13 miles from South Kaibab Trailhead west to Hermit's Rest. Make sure you pack water before you start this hiking trail. Water is available at the beginning and end of the trail. 960 1280

What are our responsibilities as they pertain to personal safety and preparedness. I have been thinking about this a lot lately with the hurricanes and natural disasters.
It's hard to know if there are more of them, or if we just hear more about them with television news reports.
We are instructed to have emergency supplies on hand for at least 72 hours. Because in the event of a disaster, estimates are that it might take at least that long for emergency personnel to reach you.
As we learned with New Orleans, we cannot depend on someone to rescue us. We need to be self sufficient enough to be able to stand on our own no matter how long it takes for rescue personnel to arrive. What if they never arrive?
I have a son who complains that there isn't anything to eat the way things are now. He would really be suffering if circumstances prevented him from going to the store every day.
We have some food storage, not a lot of variety, but enough, hopefully, to keep everyone alive for awhile. But, I don't know for how long. Certainly not a year or two.
I sometimes think of all the meat in the freezer and if we were without power for more than a day or two, what would happen to all that meat? I have one son who specializes in making beef jerky, so hopefully we could dry most of it and still make use of it.
It's hard to know exactly how to prepare for the unknown. But, we must prepare something. To believe that nothing will ever happen in our area is foolhardy.
The idea of a 72 hour kit, which has been updated, and is readily accessible is very important.
We spend a lot of time at our house looking for items. It would seem we never put them back in the same place twice. Having a kit in a closet that you can just grab and go could be a lifesaver.
Another thing we always hunt for is a flashlight and batteries. I was happy to hear about a flashlight that you can just shake and have light. I need some of those, but I really need to be able to find them in a pinch.
I hope everyone else is more organized than I am. I am trying and I'm doing better, but sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in the here and now that we don't plan for the future the way we should.
We need to have a fire plan and evacuation plan in place. I remember one class I went to where we were instructed to always have a pair of shoes by the bed in case of a fire.
One night we did have a fire at our house, and I was glad to have listened to this bit of advice. It makes evacuation easier just to have a pair of shoes handy and a coat you can grab.
I doubt we can ever be fully prepared, but if we develop habits which help us we will be better off. Sometimes at the store, if an item is on sale, we could pick up a few extra to stash.
I can't have food where it is seen or it's gone, but we need to start small to be ready and work our way to a level of preparedness.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects more than 23 million people in the United States. If managed well, people with diabetes can live normal, healthy lives. However, the many devastating effects of uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes are fairly well known: Diabetes, which increases a person's chances of heart attack or stroke by 200% to 400%, respectively, is the seventh leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult blindness, kidney failure and lower-limb amputation. But with proper management and control through daily food, fitness, medication and lifestyle choices, people with diabetes can reduce their risk of diabetes related complications.
That said, diabetes is largely a "self-care" disease, which means that most of the time, you are in charge of many day-to-day decisions that affect your condition. This responsibility puts an individual with diabetes in the driver's seat of their personal care team—and that's a lot of pressure!
So what's the most important tool you need to successfully manage diabetes? Knowledge.
There is a lot of information available about diabetes. In the information age, there is certainly no shortage of diabetes related books, cookbooks, websites, and magazines. Unfortunately, information about diabetes is not always credible and some of the information out there is just flat-out incorrect or bad advice. How do you decide whether the information you read or hear about diabetes is safe and reliable? Fortunately, you don't have to do this on your own. A diabetes educator can help!
A Certified Diabetes Educator is a qualified professional—typically, a registered nurse, registered dietitian, or a pharmacist— that provides diabetes self-management education (DSME) or diabetes self-management training (DSMT). The American Association of Diabetes Educators defines DSMT as a collaborative process through which people with or at risk for diabetes gain the knowledge and skills needed to change behavior and successfully self-manage diabetes and its related conditions. DSMT typically focuses on the following seven behaviors—sometimes referred to as the AADE7 TM Self-Care Behaviors:

SETAC North America Global Soils Advisory Group
SETAC North American 33rd Annual Meeting
Monday November 12, 2012

Long Beach, CA
1. Welcome from the Steering Committee from Temporary Meeting Chair – Mr. Rick Scroggins; Dr. G.L. Stephenson volunteered to take the meeting minutes
2. Acceptance of last year's minutes
· Minutes accepted
3. Acceptance of Agenda proposed by Michael Simini – one additional item was proposed by Bruce Vigon that included liaison with ISO in the form of an ad-hoc committee
4. Update on soil-related activities in North America – Rick Scroggins
· Announce Environment Canada will be distributing a new plant toxicity method for testing the effects of soil contaminants on species representative of the boreal region of Canada. The method document is expected to be available in the Spring of 2013; there are also three new invertebrate test methods applicable to northern regions under development. Also, Environment Canada research is underway to access the performance and standardize a variety of soil microbial tests needed for measuring impacts from soil contaminants.
· Dave Spurgeon announced that a Metals Workshop took place in Sundance, Utah in September to develop a process for deriving soil clean-up values beyond the EcoSSLs and that an overview of the workshop would be summarized in a separate SETAC publication and that individual papers were to be published in a special issue of IEAM in 2013.
· Attention was drawn to the soils sessions at Long Beach and that the call for session proposals for the SETAC NA 34th Annual Meeting in Nashville will be announced shortly; the proposals are usually due in the New Year.
· Bruce Vigon encouraged the participants in the meeting to consider submitting a proposal to give either a short course in Nashville or a Webinar on soil-related issues and the pertinent associated science.
5. Update on soil-related activities in Geographic Units
· Unfortunately, as no members from the European, African, Asia Pacific or Latin America GU's were present at the meeting, there was no news to report
6. Steering Committee status – Nominees and Elections
· Six individuals are rotating off of the GSAG Steering Committee (Monica Amorim, Joerg Roembke, Juliska Princz, Mike McLaughlin, Adriaan Reinecke, Cristina Sisinno);
· New Steering Committee nominees for the North America GU from last meeting are Heather McShane, Canada (academia) and Ming Fan, Proctor and Gamble, USA (business);
· Prior to the Long Beach GSAG meeting, Cristina Sisinno had nominated Dr. Cintia Carla Niva from Brazil as her steering committee replacement for the SETAC Latin America GU;
· Although Mike McLaughlin is stepping down as the Asia-Pacific rep, he has agreed to nominate a potential candidate. Action: Mike McLaughlin to send name of nominee to Monica Amorim and Mike Simini
· Bev Hale (University of Guelph) volunteered to serve as a North American rep for academia and Dave Spurgeon agreed to serve as either a European rep for either business or academia;

· Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment of Soils (Mon PM, November 12)
8. Proposed soil sessions for SETAC NA 2013 (Nashville, Tennessee)
· Possible sessions were discussed but no one volunteered at this point in time to commit to submitting a proposal session; call for session proposals was issued in the new year.
9. Abstract submission reminder for SETAC Europe Meeting, Glasgow, UK 12-16 May 2012à Abstract Deadline: 30 Nov 2012
· Check the web-site for full details on soil-related sessions; Rick explained that he and Adriaan Reinecke are planning a session on soil ecotoxicology methods and their application using test species from non-temperate regions; Gladys explained that she was co-chairing a session on ecosystem services; there are at least three other soil ecotoxicology sessions planned for the SETAC Europe meeting
10. SETAC on-line communities à http://communities.setac.net/ check for continuous updates on GSAG and soil-related activities
· Bruce Vigon encourage participants to get involved and explained how to join on-line
· Bruce also explained in detail the need to form an ad-hoc committee to review the ISO proposals for new work items and to participate in the review of methods and procedures of potential interest to the Global Soils Advisory Group. The ad-hoc committee could play an important role in terms that it could represent reviews that were objective, unbiased, and independent; the focus should be on the science and technical input; the participants would not have a vote in the process. Bruce is the contact person for those who are interested in participating in this committee; alternatively, contact the co-chairs of the Global Soils Advisory Committee.

Northampton boss Jim Mallinder has made two changes to his starting XV for Saturday's clash with Bath at Franklin's Gardens.
Northampton boss Jim Mallinder has made two changes to his starting XV for Saturday's clash with Bath at Franklin's Gardens.
Mike Haywood and Ben Nutley come into the side for Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes who are on international duty with England.
Samu Manoa, who played on the flank against Worcester last week, takes Lawes' place in the second row.
Haywood said that the Saints players are looking to build on last week's away win at Sixways.
Saints came home with the points last Saturday afternoon, but Haywood – who has played in 22 of the Saints' 25 matches played so far this season – said that while there was satisfaction with the win over Worcester a step up in performance is needed tomorrow.
"We're looking forward to this weekend and taking on Bath," the hooker explained.
"We were looking for a performance at Worcester last week and we knew that it was a must-win game for us. It was a tough place to play and we were happy with how we played.
"But we know that Bath is going to be a really big challenge for us. We want to get a win on our home pitch and keep the momentum going, and hopefully we can take the good things from last week into tomorrow's game."
Meanwhile, England hooker Rob Webber has been chosen to captain Bath for the first time.
Webber, who spent the first half of the season injured, has quickly established himself in the Bath team with performances full of aggression in the loose and accuracy in the tight.
He will be joined in the front row by Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise, while the powerful lock partnership of Dominic Day and Dave Attwood is set to continue as Stuart Hooper nurses a sore neck and Ryan Caldwell recovers from a hip operation.
With Francois Louw also out of action, Mat Gilbert slots into the back row with Carl Fearns and Ben Skirving.
Tom Heathcote, who has spent the week training with Scotland, comes into the fly-half berth in place of the injured Stephen Donald and partners the experienced Peter Stringer in the half-backs.
The rest of the back-line is unchanged from that which beat London Irish at the Rec last weekend.
Nick Abendanon provides security and excitement at fullback, with Horacio Agulla and Tom Biggs outside him on the wings.
Kyle Eastmond and Matt Banahan continue developing their centre partnership, with the former league man again selected in the inside centre channel.
Form: Northampton Saints have won just two of their last five Aviva Premiership Rugby matches, against Exeter and Worcester. Saints' only win in their last four Premiership contests at Franklin's Gardens was 23-16 over London Welsh on 24 November. Bath Rugby have won their last six matches in all competitions since their 15-29 reversal at London Wasps on 6 January. Bath have won just one away game in the Premiership since 25 February 2012: 24-23 at Worcester on 1 September. Bath have not beaten the Saints at Franklin's Gardens since 22 April 2000, however Bath did win a Premiership game at the famous old venue in November 2004, beating Saracens there 37-30.
The teams:
Northampton: 15 Ben Foden, 14 James Wilson, 13 George Pisi, 12 Tom May, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson,8 GJ van Velze, 7 Ben Nutley, 6 Phil Dowson (c), 5 Mark Sorenson, 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Tom Mercey, 2 Mike Haywood, 1 Soane Tomga'uiha.
Replacements: 16 Ross McMillan, 17 Alex Waller, 18 Paul Doran Jones, 19 James Craig, 20 Rhys Oakley, 21 Martin Roberts, 22 Ryan Lamb, 23 Dom Waldouck.
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Matt Banahan, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Mat Gilbert, 6 Carl Fearns, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Rob Webber (c), 1 Charlie Beech.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Nick Koster, 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Semesa Rokoduguni.

|Delicious milk-based sausage gravy, sometimes called sawmill gravy, is a southern favorite. Serve this delectable goodness over some hot homemade buttermilk biscuits for a little piece of heaven.
Homemade Southern Sausage GravySouthern biscuits and sausage gravy - talk about some good ole comfort food. I've made my gravy this way for as long as I've been cooking, but it's not like there's really much of a secret to it really. To be honest, I'm guessing just about all of us southerners make it pretty much the same way.
Today's breakfast sausage is far leaner than it used to be and doesn't create a lot of pan drippings, so I do add in additional butter, bacon fat, or even a combination of the two. I really think that it adds a wonderful richness to the flavor of the gravy.
The milk will depend on the consistency that you want for your gravy. Start whisking in about 2 cups, then add additional milk as needed to reach the consistency that you prefer. By the way, many folks enjoy this gravy on it's own and sausage patties or links on the side. Nothing wrong with that!
This is referred to around the south as "sawmill gravy" though, that's actually a misnomer. Classic sawmill gravy was made from cornmeal, not flour, believe it or not, but somehow along the way flour was substituted and the name sawmill gravy stuck.
A plate of soft scrambled eggs and a side of creamy grits would sure round that meal out pretty good if you ask me. I don't care who ya are, that is some good eatin' y'all!
Pick up my homemade buttermilk biscuit recipe here, or browse all my biscuits here, including the fabulously easy old fashioned, flour hoe cake skillet bread.
Now... let's go make some good ole southern biscuits and sausage gravy!
Recipe: Homemade Southern Sausage Gravy©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 pound roll of bulk pork breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Dean - I prefer hot)
- 1/2 cup of butter, bacon fat or vegetable/canola oil
- 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
- 3 to 4 cups of milk, more or less, as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
Brown sausage in a large skillet, breaking up and crumbling the meat as it cooks, then start your biscuits. By the time the sausage in browned up, you'll be ready to pop the biscuits in the oven, and get the gravy going. Once the meat is fully browned, stir in the butter or bacon fat to the skillet until melted. Sprinkle the flour on top of the meat and bring the pan up to a medium high heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
Slowly begin whisking in the first two cups of milk until fully incorporated and mixture begins to bubble. This will provide a fairly thick gravy. Continue whisking in additional milk a little bit at a time, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Grind plenty of pepper directly into the gravy, add salt to taste, mix well and serve over hot, split biscuits.
Cook's Notes: Tennessee Pride, Purnell's, Jimmy Dean, and Rudy's Farm are all good breakfast sausage products. I favor Jimmy Dean and love to use the hot version. Today's breakfast sausage is far leaner than it used to be and doesn't create a lot of pan drippings, so I do add in additional butter, bacon fat, or even a combination of the two. I really think that it adds a wonderful richness to the flavor of the gravy. Follow this tip to make breaking up the sausage easier!

Apple's next generation of mobile iDevices will be powered principally by A5-class System-on-a-Chip (SoC) hardware, according to Rumors' sources. The A6 will indeed be introduced next year, as has been long rumored, but may be exclusive to the family of next-generation AppleTV devices at first.
According to sources, the iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5 and iPad 3 will all be powered by a series of chips that, regardless of how they will be marketed by Apple, will be essentially unchanged from the A5 except for clock speed differences and a possible switch of suppliers (thusly, also possibly a switch in manufacturing processes but with little functional effect). Unless the iPad is split into two or more tiers as has been considered for the entire iOS device family more than once in the past and is expected to happen with the AppleTV's next generation, the A6 is expected to be exclusive in its initial production run to the new AppleTV family.

The virtual college initiative at Shoreline Community College is moving forward with a director-appointment announcement and communications campaigns due go public in the coming days.
The virtual college effort has been led by a series of task forces and work teams since its announcement by President Lee Lambert in the fall of 2010. Earlier this year, the founding Virtual College Leadership Team recommended to Lambert that the initiative would benefit from having one identified leader.
After receiving input, Lambert decided that the position would be at the director level and report to Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell for the coming year. Campbell was then asked to implement an accelerated on-campus recruiting process.
"The application and review processes are complete, a candidate selected and offer made," Campbell said Friday, July 13, 2012, adding that he expects to have a final announcement sometime next week. "The virtual college is an important initiative for Shoreline."
Campbell said seven individuals were approached to submit letters of interest, including four faculty members, two administrative exempt employees and one dean.
On the communications front, the virtual college is now on the web and the promotional campaign about to start, said Jim Hills, special assistant to the president for communications and marketing.
"The virtual college has its own address at http://www.shorelinevirtualcollege.org/, although those pages are part of our main Shoreline Community College website," Hills said. "It is accessible from the college main homepage by clicking on 'Virtual College' under the 'Online Students' tab."
Advertising for the virtual college starts in the coming days with postal delivery of 62,000 copies of the latest Community Report to local Shoreline and Lake Forest Park addresses as well as some additional areas. The edition includes a front page virtual college story and a full page ad on the back.
Online advertising will begin sometime next week, Hills said, with geographically and behaviorally targeted campaigns expected to reach more than 750,000 people between the launch date and Sept. 30. Also, the Aug. 3 edition of the Puget Sound Business Journal will include an ad for the virtual college.
