For 3-year-old runners unsuccessful on the Triple Crown trail, the $200,000 Dwyer Stakes (gr. II) at Belmont Park offers an opportunity to get back on track for the summer season.
Trainer Bob Baffert, who is making plans to return Paynter to New York this summer, said his valiant Belmont Stakes (gr. I) runner-up lost a shoe during the June 9 race at Belmont Park.
When I'll Have Another attempts to become the 12th Triple Crown winner in racing history June 9 in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I), he will be bucking more than the 34-year gap since the last one.

A live video feed captured a horrifying confrontation between school officials and an armed gunman who opened fire during a school board meeting in Panama City, Florida, Tuesday. The gunman was wounded and subsequently took his own life, authorities said.
The suspect, identified as Clay Duke, 56, of Bay County, Florida, spray-painted a wall and then opened fire on the superintendent and school board members during the meeting, authorities said.
The gunman apparently missed each person he fired on, even though he was at close range, said Lee Stafford, director of student services of Bay District Schools.
Full Story and Video:
I'm sure that the anti's will be all over this nut job story! Why do the flies keep landing in the champaigne?
A red circle with "V". He thought that the school board was Visitors. It appeared that he intentionally missed those he was shooting at.
Also running here.
Crazy video. Unreal.
That sounds like the "V for Vendetta" symbol.
Too bad schools or any function involving schools are "NO CARRY ZONES", otherwise they might have been able to defend themselves!
Notably school 'security' does not actually respond to do anything until _after_ the gunman began shooting at people.
He happened to miss (!) with all six or so shots and everyone but the gunman survived, but that is no thanks to any action... made by the schools so called 'security'.
Elapsed time from start to finish ~ Two (2) minutes.
The lady, 'Ginger', who sneaks up on the guy from behind so as to bounce her purse off his arm...WOW!
Skinny older lady with purse vs. Fat not as old male with a gun = Not Gonna Work
Had _any_ one of those some 15+ people originally in that room been allowed to carry as private citizens...And that person had been trained in defensive use of a firearm, the story could/would have been very different in end result...Without involving a two minute hold nor waiting on the gunman to initiate action.
Reason #1,340,961 why when I attend public meetings including open and closed door discussions with town council, I always do and will carry.
Even as I know that the police, Chief of Police (he doesn't choose to carry out of street uniform) and even the Chief of Police from regional colleges might be there too.
My view:
Yeah...And...So...Great for them...What about me, and MY family needing & wanting me to return home.
Anytime, anyone, anywhere.
- Janq
1000 opportunities to take that guy out. Most of the time, he stood there with his gun relaxed at his side. They all just sit there talking to him, waiting for him to get mad enough to pull the trigger which he finally did. The only man there was a lady who struck him with her purse. I guess that's the civilized way to die; let evil triumph so that you can go to your grave knowing full well that you did the right thing by laying down and dying, almost willfully.
I just can't understand that.
Warning this is violent and not edited, but it is a real situation.
I know lance.
The 'security' guy who is reported to be a retired police, he should have given his gun to her (Ginger) and then let her get the job done old school sneaky Pete style.
I mean hell she literally walked right up to dude and he never realized she was there until _after_ her purse impacted his gun arm.
Had she a gun in one hand and that purse for distraction in her other, even with a .380 ACP running Hornady Critical Defense ammo at that distance she'd have been quite effective.
IMHO it's outrageous that the school security person allowed this to continue as long as he did considering he had very many opportunities to neutralize the threat without concern for a sympathetic reaction shot...As his gun was down by his side.
This though is a very good example why folk gotta think beyond carrying tiny 'pocket' guns with short sight radius making it terribly difficult to manage fine accuracy over even moderate distances...AND...Running minimal power level cartridges that against a guy built like this seal would not be especially functional thanks singularly to all the natural soft armor (!) as fat that he is wearing. Never mind the clothing too, whihc people constantly focus on as though humans are clothing over top of organs alone.
- Janq
What kind of gun did he have? It looks like a full sized DA/SA and he got squirrely on that second shot, it looks like it was an accidental discharge that hit the floor.
That is an incredible video. I sometimes feel like carrying is too much trouble, but that video really reenforces why I do.
It is amazing how worked up people get about stupid things. School boards, jobs, parking tickets...? Is it really worth dying over your stupid boss?
Sadly, my school board meets in the school library, on the campus of an elementary school, one of the few places carrying is illegal in my state.
That lady is a ******* for doing that stupid move :/

City of SeaTac press release:
The SeaTac City Council received a proposed petition from an independent group known as the SeaTac Committee for Good Jobs, in order to collect signatures for an initiative entitled "Setting Minimum Employment Standards for Hospitality and Transportation Workers."
Committee representatives are in the process of seeking the required 1,541 signatures, which is 15% of the registered voters from the November, 2011 City elections.
While the City will follow through on the initiative process as required by State Law and City Code, the Initiative was filed by the independent group.
It has come to the attention of the City of SeaTac that members of the public may attend upcoming Council Meetings to comment on the proposed initiative. While the City understands that members of the public may have strong opinions on either side of this issue, it is imperative that City facilities not be used to either promote or oppose any current or proposed ballot measure.
Better Business Bureau press release:
Loving sons and daughters looking for thoughtful ways to show affection for moms this year should think twice before opening up hearts and wallets. A recent survey from the National Retail Federation estimates that total Mother's Day spending will reach $18.6 billion in 2013, and scammers will employ all sorts of tricks to fool consumers. Better Business Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington wants this day to be safe and mom-entous.
As with most special occasions, schemers try to catch last-minute shoppers off-guard and BBB offers the following reminders:
E-cards: Email cards appear to be from known contacts or trusted retailers, but are actually fraudulent, contain malicious links or malware and seek personal information; verify senders before opening.
Gifts: Newly registered websites stock Mother's Day gifts at reasonable prices and guarantee timely delivery, but the products are never delivered or don't actually exist at all. Avoid online vendors lacking verifiable contact information.

Most of our new college graduates have a hard time finding jobs, yet Boeing has to import young people to fill its positions that need math and science skills.
Well, of course--reducing taxes prevents schools from being adequately funded. If a student, in spite of that, finishes with a good background in technical subjects, he also finishes with a large debt.
He can't afford to pass on his knowledge by becoming a teacher; he needs the much larger pay he can get from a job in industry.
Science and math classes are left to be taught mostly by people whose primary interests and talents aren't in those subjects. Over the decades, fewer and fewer qualified people are available to even consider teaching them.
Should we keep on letting it get worse, or should we ask the investors in our high-tech businesses to pay a little income tax to finance a quality of education that will produce enough talented employees for both our schools and our industries?

Press release:
Global Connections High School students are teaming up with Cedarbrook Lodge to educate fifth graders from Bow Lake Elementary on childhood obesity, anti-bullying and classroom etiquette.
The DECA class at Global Connections developed a field trip for the Bow Lake students. Cedarbrook Lodge is hosting the field trip on May 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
DECA is an international association that aims to prepare emerging high school leaders for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.
"My Advanced Marketing students love the challenge of 'thinking like a 5th grader' as they consider their target market for the lessons they are planning," said DECA teacher Alana Vinther. "It's delightful to hear them comment on the challenges and rewards of working with the elementary students."
The high school students have enlisted the help of Cedarbrook's Culinary Director, Roy Breiman, and Executive Chef, Mark Bodinet, to teach the elementary students about nutrition and sustainability through a cooking demonstration. The students will then get to taste the food and go home with a few easy and healthy recipes to try at home.

Behind the wheel of a car is not the ideal place to discover that the steering wheel is defective. That's why special precautions are taken during the manufacturing process. The carefully controlled cooling of an injection mold ensures that whatever the product may be, its standards are up to par. Here, we use the Non-Isothermal Pipe Flow interface with the Heat Transfer in Solids interface to study the cooling path of an injection mold for a polyurethane car steering wheel.Read More

General Criteria of Evaluation
- The Foundation is looking for applicants who are talented scholars, who may not otherwise be able to pursue a doctoral degree, and who show potential for developing the field of anthropology in their home countries.
- Applicants must show evidence of academic excellence in their prior training in anthropology or a related discipline.
- Applicants should also make a convincing case for choosing the Host Institution and the program of training they will receive at the Host Institution.
- The Foundation places considerable importance on the letters of reference from the Host Sponsor. Applicants are encouraged to make personal contact with the Host Sponsor prior to applying for the Wadsworth International Fellowship and to develop with that sponsor an appropriate program of training and study leading to the doctoral degree. If the applicant has not already earned a relevant Masters degree, the Host Sponsor should address whether he or she expects the applicant to be able to successfully complete their training (both the Masters degree and/or any other requirements of the doctoral program) and advance to candidacy, or otherwise be prepared to begin their doctoral fieldwork, within the three years of Wadsworth funding.
- Priority is given to applicants with well-articulated training and research goals. It is also important to demonstrate a good fit between the Host Institution, Host Sponsor, and the applicant's research goals.
- The Foundation prioritizes programs of study that promote its mission to support basic anthropological research into humanity's biological and cultural origins, development and variation. Applicants whose training and research objectives fall outside the scope of this mission statement and primarily emphasize more applied goals such as policy-making, public health, sustainability and conservation practices, primate conservation, heritage management, or salvage work on endangered languages are not normally competitive for funding.

In spite of everything I'm about to say, it's still one of the better holiday movies.* As Greg Olear points out on Salon, it's remarkably egalitarian, secular and anti-consumerist even by modern standards, much less by the standards of the … [Read more...]
Both Billboards and Soup Kitchens
What strategy should the atheist movement adopt during the holiday season? Should we focus on doing good works as a visible proof that we're caring and moral people, or should we redouble our efforts to be loud and uncompromising in the face of an onslaught of religious schmaltz? That's the subject of the latest Deep Rift(TM) in the secular community, being debated in an article by Dan Merica on CNN as well as a rather caustic post by Andrew Tripp (whom you may remember from his recent guest post … [Read more...]
The Twitter Report: Let's Have A Rousing Welcome for the Pope
On a related note to my last post, you've probably heard that the Pope recently took a bold step forward into the 21st century by joining Twitter. This is significant because it marks, to my knowledge, the first time that the Catholic church has ever taken a bold step forward on anything. (He chose the Twitter handle @Pontifex, I assume because @Popehat was already taken.)It's an interesting experiment, but I'm not expecting it to last. It's not just that the Pope's tweets so far have been di … [Read more...]
Reasons to Quit the Catholic Church: A Coda
Even though I just published a long list of reasons why good people should leave the Catholic church, it seems like new ones are piling up every time I turn around. Herewith are some of the latest arguments for all people of common sense and conscience to sever their association with this corrupt medieval dictatorship. First of all, via WWJTD?, this jaw-dropping story: Pope Benedict met with and personally blessed Rebecca Kadaga, the speaker of the Ugandan Parliament, who's one of the most fe … [Read more...]

Susana Martinez is the Governor of the State of New Mexico. She was elected on November 2, 2010, pledging to cut wasteful spending, lower taxes to create more jobs, end "pay-to-play" practices and other corruption in government and fight to reform education. She was sworn in as Governor of New Mexico on January 1, 2011, making her the first Latina governor in United States history. Prior to being elected Governor, Martinez was the District Attorney for the Third Judicial District in Doña Ana County in Southern New Mexico, a position she held for 14 years. Martinez was first elected to that office in 1996 and was re-elected three times, running unopposed for the office in 2008. In addition to managing the second largest District Attorney's office in the state, Martinez has personally tried some of the toughest cases, including child abuse and child homicide. In fact, Katie's Law is named after Katie Sepich, a 22-year old college student whose killer Martinez prosecuted and convicted. As District Attorney, Martinez fought hard to pass the legislation, which required a DNA sample to be taken from anyone arrested for a violent felony in New Mexico. After taking office as governor, she made it a top priority to expand Katie's Law to require a DNA sample for all felony arrests. The expansion passed through the legislature with large bi-partisan support and was signed into law by Governor Martinez in April 2011. In 2008, Heart Magazine named Martinez "Woman of the Year" for her dedication to children's advocacy and her efforts to keep children safe. She has also twice been named New Mexico's "Prosecutor of the Year." In April 2011, Hispanic Business Magazine named Martinez "Woman of the Year" for her efforts to reduce the tax burden in New Mexico, get the state's fiscal house in order, and promote a friendlier business environment that will allow employers to create jobs and hire New Mexico workers. Martinez also has a record of battling public corruption. On her watch, the Doña Ana County Clerk was convicted of five felony charges of violating election code and a municipal court judge was convicted of voter fraud. Martinez comes from a hard-working, middle class family. Her father and mother started a security guard business with $400 in their pockets, building their business with Susana's mother doing paperwork in the family kitchen and Susana working as a security guard while attending college during the day. Martinez was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley and has made Las Cruces her home since the 1980s. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at El Paso and later earned her law degree from the University of Oklahoma.

Sometimes the things people write about Apple reveal more about themselves than they do about Apple. Or anything else for that matter. The Macalope will look at two pundits who must be discussing something else, because what they're writing about Apple doesn't make a lick of sense. And on the anniversary of Steve Jobs's death, maybe it's better to just say no.
What motivates a company? Well, turns out it might be the same thing that motivates someone to write a diatribe about Apple.
Virginia Heffernan gives us an object lesson in this principle, writing for Yahoo in "Machine Politics" (whatever that is): "Apple's Map app non-apology: We're sorry you feel that way" (tip o' the antlers to Matthew Smith).
Non-apology? Here's what Cook said:
At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.
Now, the Macalope knows what a non-apology looks like and this isn't that.
The point of offering a non-apology is to artfully avoid any implication of personal blame. "I'm sorry you feel that way. It certainly isn't because of anything I've done, but I'm sorry you feel that way. Possibly it's because you're a tremendous reactionary who takes everything the wrong way and has a lot of personal issues. Are you in therapy? You should be. I'm sorry you need therapy because of what I'm guessing was a bad childhood."
That's a non-apology. In Cook's actual apology, however, the "this" in third sentence is "we fell short on our commitment." It's not "your stupid feelings are so sensitive," it's something that Apple did. What he's saying is "I'm sorry what we did caused you frustration." It's a little odd that Cook splitting it out into two sentences seems to have confused a former New York Times staff writer who has also worked at Harper's, The New Yorker, and Slate and has a fricking Ph.D in English Literature from Harvard.
And it's really odd that it takes a comic drawing of a mythical man-Mac-antelope hybrid to explain it to her. But that seems to be where we are.
What bugged users about Apple Maps was not that it was imperfect.
Really? That wasn't it? Because the Macalope's followed this rather closely--admittedly, maybe not as closely as someone who covers "Machine Politics"--and he's pretty sure that's it.
Every app we use is imperfect.
Indeed. Then why the uproar, doctor?
Instead, what was maddening was that you, Apple, turned so petty, arrogant and spiteful that you tried to drive the renowned marvel that is Google Maps--which since 2005 has tested, refined and made stunningly useful its high-res aerial and satellite images of virtually the whole planet--off your dumb new operating system, iOS6.
Wait. You're actually saying that if the data in the Maps app had been perfect, people would have still been mad because of a business decision Apple made?
Uh, no. Really, people don't care where their map data comes from, as long as it's good. The data Apple used wasn't as good, and people expect better from Apple. And some people sit around waiting for Apple's rare mistakes so they can make a big deal about it. That's what this is all about.
You pushed out a free, great thing...
Stop. Stop. Google Maps is not free. It certainly isn't free to Apple, and ads are a cost to users. Heffernan completely neglects to mention this anywhere in her extended hyperbolic rant, but one of the major reasons Apple couldn't come to terms with Google was because Google wanted more user data. Apple didn't want to give it to them because Apple's customers are people who buy iPhones. Google wanted it because Google's customers are advertisers. That's not crazy Apple fanboi talk, that's Business 101.
...and jammed in your amateur dimestore one, only because you were feeling afraid and grasping, and in so doing you showed a sicko side of yourself (one we all suspect has always been there).
You know Apple isn't actually an individual, right? And certainly not a serial killer or pervert or whatever it is you're implying? Because someone here's got issues and the Macalope's pretty sure it isn't the giant corporation that's being over-anthropomorphized.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|18 hours 20 minutes
|Time so far...
Wig - 2 hours 20 minutes - £15.80
Done! I airbrushed the bottom of it black and I'm just waiting for it to dry before I take some new pictures :D
Jacket - 11 hours 20 minutes - £10.55
Done! Amazingly, I had enough scrap material left over from my Code Geass jacket to make this! XD However, because I didn't have any fabric to spare, I've had to take a lot of time to focus and make sure my measurements were exact (usually I just wing it and I have enough spare fabric to fix any mistakes). The most expensive part of making this was buying the zippers @_@;; (£7.55 total!) I'm really proud of the front pocket zippers since I've never sewn a zip like that before, and I'm really happy because the lining has turned out great *_*
-> All I have to do now is sew the patch on his left sleeve, but as I still don't know what it says (1/1ENAI? is that it?)I'm leaving it for now since not many people will notice it's missing anyway.
Long sleeved shirt - £1.99
Done! I was planning on altering a long sleeved t-shirt to make it 3/4 length... but I ended up finding one in a charity shop instead. <3
Pendant - 1 hour
This little guy was really fiddly to make~ but once again I made him for free, as I used left over fimo from my Simon cosplay :D (which still isn't done, ahahaha)
Studded Belt - £12.49
I bought the studded one off of ebay. :3
Box Belts - 40 minutes
I used the pleather I bought for my D.Gray-man cosplay (which I might be dropping...) so once again I made these for free~
Trousers - £14.00
I bought these from... ASDA XD Ahaha.
Box - 1200Y (about £6) - 2 hours~
Prototype I've been working on. I'm not crazy about how it looks but I've been making it in Japan so I don't have access to my usual tools. I'm gonna check out the craft store tomorrow for something more suitable to use.
Dynamite - 400Y (about £2) - 1 hour
I made four sticks in one hour and they look great :D I love 'em!
Could've said this on msn but where is the fun in that, ne? XD
Your wig looks awesome and once again...you really suit the character. What are you, some sort of cosplay-shape-shifter? XD
Me likes either way =3
Dude... Wow. Loving the wig! I hope the rest comes along just as well.
Quite possibly the best Gokudera wig I've seen due to the flippy curvy bang thing at the front *not too good at verbal description*
Wah, looks like you're going to make a great Gokkun!! *__*
Damn good cosplay, love it!
+¬+ Gokudera!! Amazing! ^w^b
Gorgeous <3
*_* Awesome cosplay! I really love the wig x3
You make a great Gokudera! 8D
Best Gokudera I've seen so far! ;3

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Before I actually see an attorney about doing this I want to know if it's possible to simply convert a corporation to an LLC WITHOUT forming an LLC and then transferring from the Corp to the LLC and dissolve the Corp. Is there some process where you can just switch over?
In many jurisdictions one can simply file a Certificate of Conversion. Georgia has such a provision whereby you file a Certificate of Conversion:
§ 14-11-212. Conversion to limited liability company
(a) A corporation ... may elect to become a limited liability company. Such election shall require (1) compliance with Code Section 14-2-1109.1 in the case of a Georgia corporation, or (2) the approval of all of its partners, members or shareholders (or such other approval or compliance as may be sufficient under applicable law or the governing documents of the electing entity to authorize such election) in the case of a foreign corporation, foreign limited liability company, limited partnership, foreign limited partnership, general partnership, or foreign general partnership.
(b) Such election is made by delivering a certificate of conversion to the Secretary of State for filing. The certificate shall set forth:
(1) The name and jurisdiction of organization of the entity making the election;
(2) That the entity elects to become a limited liability company;
(3) The effective date, or the effective date and time, of such election if later than the date and time the certificate of conversion is filed;
(4) That the election has been approved as required by subsection (a) of this Code section;
(5) That filed with the certificate of conversion are articles of organization that are in the form required by Code Section 14-11-204, that set forth a name for the limited liability company that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 14-11-207, and that shall be the articles of organization of the limited liability company formed pursuant to such election unless and until modified in accordance with this chapter; and
(6) A statement setting forth either (A) the manner and basis for converting the ownership interests in the entity making the election into interests as members of the limited liability company formed pursuant to such election or canceling them, or (B)(i) that a written operating agreement has been entered into among the persons who will be the members of the limited liability company formed pursuant to such election, (ii) that such operating agreement will be effective immediately upon the effectiveness of such election, and (iii) that such operating agreement provides for the manner and basis of such conversion or cancellation.
I have done several in other states and the process is fairly simple.Ask a similar question
You need to see a tax attorney first because the "conversion" that you are attempting may trigger capital gain or related tax attributes that may prohibit your transer/dissolution strategy. If your corporation has substantial assets, the transfer is not going to be simple because the asset transfer may trigger capital gain to you. Your problem may not be whether Geogia law allows you to do this, but whether federal tax law penalizes you for your "simple conversion."
Good luck!

If it is a Georgia corporation you may convert it to a LLC without creating a new entity. What you outlined above is NOT a conversion, it is a transfer from one entity to another. In a conversion, the entity is the same but changes form--it is the same fictional entity but in a different form. This may still have some tax consequences but generally not those triggered by a "sale" of assets. It may also require titled assets to be retitled (vehicles, land) but not in all circumstances. If there are professional licenses, permits and similar matters involved there may be issues to address in advance. If your corporation was formed in another state, that state may have similar mechanisms.

engine fan hit radiator

I had forgotten to update this with the final fix. The bearing of the water pump, which was newish and OEM was not quite perpendicular to the body, inducing an extremely minor wobble in the fan, not enough to look like an issue at idle, but when the engine was at high RPM, could induce an impact between the fan and the shroud at the top of the radiator, which would the shatter the blades off the fan. That water pump shattered 3 fans. I replaced the engine mounts after the first fan, the fan clutch and transmission mounts after the second, then the pump after the third. The error in the bearing was slight enough that it took me 5-10 minutes of comparing the old and new pumps to figure out what was wrong.

A $32.7-million settlement of a class-action suit is the best and fairest way to compensate victims of two now-closed Ontario institutions for the developmentally disabled, an Ontario judge decided on Monday.
Lawyers for both the plaintiffs and provincial government had urged Ontario Superior Court Justice Barbara Conway to approve the deal, which also includes a formal apology from the premier.
"While more is always better, it is a compromise," Conway said.
"The settlements are fair, reasonable and in the best interests of the class members."
The deal reached in December calls for a minimum payment of $2,000 to members of the class and a maximum of $35,000.
Retired Supreme Court of Canada justice Ian Binney would review the more complex claims.
The class actions were launched on behalf of about 4,300 former residents of the Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls, Ont., which opened in 1951, and the Southwestern Regional Centre near Chatham, Ont., which opened in 1961.
The purpose of the institutions was to house people labelled "retarded." The thinking was that residents – most of whom began living at the facilities as children – were better off than living with their families.
However, many of the thousands of residents suffered physical and sexual abuse at the overcrowded and understaffed prison-like institutions.
"I have suffered to this day," former Rideau resident Doug Smith told the court.
"It kind of ruined my life a little bit. It's very painful."
Government ministers and their deputies were made aware of the poor conditions but complaints fell on deaf ears, court heard.
"Many thousands of people suffered harm for no reason," lawyer Kirk Baert, speaking for the complainants, told the court.
"None of these people had done anything wrong. None of them deserved this treatment."
The proposed settlement is similar to a $32.7-million deal reached last year over the Huronia Regional Centre in Orillia, Ont.
Premier Kathleen Wynne formally apologized for the pain and loss that permanently marked hundreds of former residents of the now-shuttered Huronia facility.
Under the new agreement, Wynne will also formally apologize to those sent to Rideau and Southwestern, said Robert Ratcliffe, a lawyer for the province.
The apology is a "vital and extraordinary" component of the settlement, Conway said.
Some former residents had argued that the legal costs – close to $16-million for the three cases that would be payable from the settlements – were too high.
The lawyers involved argue they spent years taking on the difficult case on the expectation they would be paid only if they won.
Other critics said the compensation was too low for the harm they had suffered, and that the claims process would be too difficult.
But Conway concluded the deals are the best under the circumstances, given the potential for lengthy litigation with uncertain result if she rejected the agreements.
"It's not for the court to impose different settlement terms on the parties," the justice said.
Vici Clarke, whose brother was at Rideau during the early 1970s, said outside court she was pleased and relieved with the settlement.
"No amount of money can compensate for a lifetime of harm," Clarke said.
"To have this part of Canadian history that many people don't know about, to have families' and individuals' experiences listened to and validated, is worth its weight in gold."
Baert called the agreement "a very good settlement."
Attorney General John Gerretsen said he was pleased at the agreement with the former residents who were "harmed."
"We cannot change the past, but we will continue to do everything we can to ensure that all Ontarians – regardless of their abilities – are treated with the compassion, dignity and respect they deserve," Gerretsen said in a statement.
Conway said she would hear arguments over legal fees and costs on Tuesday.Report Typo/Error

3 Gmail Labs features that will spice up your inbox
June 16th, 2008 | Published in Gmail (Google Mail)
Last week we launched Gmail Labs, a way for you to test out experimental Gmail features before they're ready for prime time. This week, we want to show you what the most popular Labs features can do for your inbox. To use any Gmail Labs feature* visit the Labs tab under Settings, and select "Enable" next to each one you want to turn on. When you're finished picking features, click "Save changes" to apply the new settings. Here's a mini guide to the most popular ones:
Superstars: Adds new star designs to better differentiate important email.If you have suggestions for ways we can improve any of the Labs features, or want to suggest a new one, please visit our Labs discussion forum. The engineers who built Gmail Labs features keep an eye on discussions, and your feedback will help them make the features great.
After enabling Superstars, simply click on the star icon repeatedly to rotate through new star options. If you have shortcuts enabled, hitting the "s" key consecutively will do the same. There are more star designs then the ones set as default -- to select different variations, click Settings and look for the Superstars section under the General tab. Drag the icons listed as "not in use" to "in use" to make changes to your star lineup. Once enabled, you can use Superstars to help prioritize and manage emails. For example, you can add a "!" icon star on emails that have critical or timely information, such as bank information, or you can add a "✓" icon star to emails associated with a task you've completed, such as paying a bill online.
Pictures in chat: Adds your friends' photos to the chat window.
Make Gmail chat a little more personal. Now you can view a picture of your friends when you chat with them. (Tip: If your friend doesn't have a picture, you can suggest one by clicking on the placeholder picture in Contacts under your friend's name).
Quick Links: Bookmarks common Gmail views.
Quick Links allows you to create a shortcut to any bookmarkable URL in Gmail. Just click "Add Quick Link" to save a link to the page you are currently viewing. You can then jump to that page any time with one click. For example, you can add a link to a draft email where you keep your to do list, or an email with your frequent flyer information. You can also save a common Gmail search by conducting the search (let's say for "is:unread" -- which brings up all your unread mail) and then clicking "Add Quick Link."
*Gmail Labs is currently only available in US and UK English and to Google Apps users whose administrators have opted in to new features from the control panel.

Watch Mumford & Sons' Rise to Greatness
Mumford and Sons undoubtedly crossed over into mega-stardom after taking home a Grammy this past weekend for Album of the Year. But before they struck it big, there were years of broken-down tour vans and hole-in-the-wall pubs that got them where they are today. Directing team FRED&NICK have put together a YouTube series that chronicles the band's journey, from deciding on members, to writing new music, to touring Great Britain. Check out episode 1 below.

Throttle Response Lag
Can anyone help? I have a 2011 GC and when I give it gas to pass or even at low speeds, I feel the throttle goes away for a second and then picks up. I know this isn't normal.
Thanks for your help.
Re: Throttle Response Lag
I recall reading somewhere that turning off the hill start assist in the EVIC eliminates this
But then again, do you want to deal with some lag, or rolling down a hill into another car...
Re: Throttle Response Lag
I'll try turning off the Hill Assist mode and see if that helps.
Re: Throttle Response Lag
I believe there's a TSB out for this (TSB 18-012-11a). See this thread for more details, and be sure to let us know if you notice any difference after getting the software update.

The colours of visible light by which we see the world around us are only a small part of the total spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Other parts of this invisible spectrum have an effect on us though. We're all familiar with the effects of ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength than visible light. UV is what gives us a suntan and makes our teeth, underwear and dandruff glow in a nightclub. It can also give us skin cancer and make inkjet prints fade.
At the other end of the spectrum, longer wavelengths are known as infrared, and we feel these wavelengths as heat. Infrared light is emitted by the sun and other hot objects. It is used in thermograph cameras for tracking criminals, and by alien predators tracking Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The electromagnetic spectrum doesn't end there. Beyond ultraviolet lie Gamma rays and X-rays, while longer wavelengths than infrared include microwaves and radio waves, but for today we're interested in the infrared portion of the spectrum.

Nicholas Named MW Player of the Week
Feb. 20, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Junior Hunter Nicholas (Park City, Utah) has been named Mountain West Player of the Week, the conference announced on Wednesday. Nicholas joins senior Derek Siddiqui as the second Aztec to win the award this season, as No. 70 SDSU is the only school with two men's players honored this year.
Nicholas went a combined 3-1 last week as the Aztecs defeated Hawai'i, 5-2, on Feb. 14, and Pacific, 4-3, on Feb. 16. Playing at No. 3 singles against Hawai'i's Jared Spiker, Nicholas lost the first set, 4-6, but rallied to win the next two sets 6-4 and 7-6 (8-6) to win the match. In No. 1 doubles play, Nicholas and partner Thorsten Bertsch turned back Hawai'i's Jonathan Brooklyn and Dmytro Kovalyov, 8-6.
Against Ben Mirkin of Pacific, Nicholas again dropped the opening set (2-6), but rallied to take the second set, 7-5, and the third and decisive set, 6-0. His win secured the Aztecs' 4-3 victory. Nicholas is 6-2 in singles play this dual season, and has won three-consecutive matches.
The Aztecs (6-3, 1-0 MW) return to action this Saturday, Feb. 23, against MW foe Boise State, beginning at noon PT. The match was originally scheduled for Sunday, but has since been changed.

I simply don't understand the Diversity Fascists. They're nothing what they claim to be. Not that I'm saying anything that other actual intellectuals already know.
Whenever they block me I laugh at their childishness. They can fool the lowest common denominator but they'll never own me. They can ban me, torture me, threaten my family and friends, murder them, but they will never EVER have my support, not the support of Evolution.
All the SCROTUS did was encourage NAMBLA, and nobody can erase that truth.
SCROTUS sold the future generations out.

1.) Obviously it's not an all inclusive list. But don't you wonder why these "sins" made the cut, while others didn't? I mean murder is a pretty big sin--one of the top 10. You'd think Paul would mention murder.
2.) I'm saying specifically that the passage is not an invitation for us to judge one another. You obviously believe it is an invitation for people to judge one another. But, you break it by being abusive--by being a "reviler"--on this forum and in other forums. And before you go off on some tangent about how "you're only telling the truth", let me say this... The recipient of your comments is the one who gets to determine if your words are abusive or not. You don't get to make that determination.
Many abusive parents would deny that they hurt their children. But it's not up to them to determine if their actions are abusive. If it feels abusive; if someone tells you that you are being abusive, scolding, disrespectful, etc. then you are.
It's the target's interpretation of your words or actions that matter; not your intentions.
3.) Your reality doesn't dictate my reality. If you believe anal sex is harmful and demeaning, then that's your opinion. If you get your "facts" from someone else, that's their opinion.
But I will submit that I know too many gay men (and a few straight women) who enjoy safe anal intercourse. They haven't been "demeaned". They haven't developed any problems as a result of engaging in it.
It's like when you say "marriage is a cross-cultural constraint on evolutionary mating behavior." That's your reality. But to millions of people around the world, that's not their reality. And you don't get to determine how others believe or how they act as long as what they are doing is within the law.

Please explain to us how the Supreme Court's decision encourages NAMBLA. That's like saying "legalized heterosexual marriage encourages adult men to sexually abuse little girls or adult women to sexually abuse little boys."
Your "roar" sounded more like flatulence to me.

Most people don't need to be told murder is wrong.
You are in denial. It is severe. I keep a few simple points of reality in your face to disrupt your denial.
Reality is not an opinion.
Love and truth are married. They will never divorce.

When you dumb down marriage to 'two people in a relationship', everything becomes disputable.
But you know that. The denial is only until you get what you want. As you said before, the other stuff isn't your concern.

What are you, a poet? "Love and truth are married. They will never divorce."
How exactly is love and truth married? Explain that to us.
And you cannot deny my reality.
I grew up in the South. I had never traveled further west than Nashville, further north than Ohio, further east than South Carolina, or further south than Daytona. And like with most people, I was taught from a very young age that the color of the sky is blue. I didnt question it. Why would I question the color of the sky?
Then in my mid-twenties, I traveled to Flagstaff. I had a good friend from college who lived there. And I have to tell you, the blue sky in Flagstaff is MUCH different than the blue sky of the South. Their sky is spectacularly blue.
And after I returned from my trip, I realized that here in the South our sky is more milky than the blue I observed in the high desert.
Another example I recently went to a party where a friend brought some canned beets to serve. He kept carrying on about how good that were. Now, I have tried to like beets for years. But to me, they taste like dirt. He kept saying,No These are GOOD beets! Youll love them! He even plopped one down on my plate. To humor him, I ate the beet. And Im sure it was obvious by the look on my face that I still didnt like beets.
To him, those beets were wonderful. But to me, they still tasted like dirt.
I like jazz, but detest opera. I like the color red; not a huge fan of navy. Im attracted to guys; never been attracted to a girl in my life.
My point is that a persons truth is a matter of perspective. Its a matter of what they observe and experience. Its a matter of personal preferences.
It takes a lot of hubris to tell someone what their truth or reality should be.

Susan Rice tells a story: the Obama foreign policy story
posted at 8:21 am on October 19, 2012 by Libby Sternberg
Once again, I'm featuring comments from my father-in-law, this time on the policy implications of Susan Rice's false narrative on the murder of a U.S. Ambassador and other Americans:
Susan Rice's Story
by Dr. Joseph Sternberg, Scientific Advisor to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, 1971-1974
Why was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice sent around to the Sunday talk shows to tell a (false) story?
Susan Rice has no responsibility for the protection of embassies, nor for U.S. policy towards Libya. She was not directly involved in the development of intelligence of events in Libya. But how did the events in Libya affect what she was responsible for at the UN? Why would the White House think that she was the right person to promote the story they were trying to sell?
President Obama has had two foreign affairs priorities. One was to defeat Al Qaeda. The second was to improve relations with the Muslim world, which has taken the form of developing close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. Susan Rice is directly involved in the second of these objectives in her role as UN Ambassador.
The U.S. is working as a member of the UN Human Rights Council as its Muslim members seek to produce a statement that restricts speech critical of Islam. The U.S. should not be party to such activities as any such statement would be in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But it is an active participant.
An unstated conclusion following from Rice's story was that if the video could have been repressed, there wouldn't have been any demonstrations. So sending her out to the Sunday shows would makes sense for Obama as an attempt to advance this second objective, which was a logical outcome of his 2009 speech in Cairo. The offensive video story would also serve to divert attention from the fact that, contrary to what was claimed exhaustively at the Democratic Convention (Al Qaeda has been smashed), Al Qaeda is still a serious problem in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh" serving a life sentence for his role in the first World Trade Center bombing) also played a part in the Cairo Demonstration on Sept. 11. The first demand of President Morsi, upon taking office, was that the U.S. release the Sheikh from prison. I don't know whether they are claiming he was unfairly convicted (in a NY trial—Attorney General Eric Holder, please note). At a minimum they are seeking his release on "humanitarian" grounds. It has been reported that a member of an Egyptian Jihadist group banned from entering the United Sates had been admitted to the White House on this issue. If Obama is reelected, who would like to take bets on whether the Sheikh would be released in furtherance of Obama's second objective?
We don't know what Susan Rice knew about the events in Libya. Since the State Department knew, you would think she would have given them a call before telling her story. So she was either lying or negligent. But we do know that her appearances were authorized by the White House.
