Kicking off the performances for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize was non other than 2009 Polaris winners Fucked Up. Rounding out a banner year that included front man Damian Abraham mugging for the cover of Spin Magazine and appearing on the festival circuit alongside Metallica and Arctic Monkeys, Fucked Up hit the stage to perform Queen Of Hearts and The Other Shoe from their 2011 album David Comes To Life.
London based singer-songwriter Cold Specks performed stirring renditions of her songs Hector and Holland from her 2012 disc I Predict a Graceful Expulsion, proving why she deserves a place on this year's Polaris short
Second-time short list nominee Cadence Weapon brought his unique old meets new school of hip hop to the Polaris stage, leaving the crowd feeling certain that the Canadian urban music is alive and better than ever. The Edmonton native performed three tracks, including Cheval, Conditioning and Hope In A Dirty City.

text: I've been watching football for a long time and that was the most poorly officiated game that I have ever seen. The incompetence of those buffoons took 4 points off of the board for the Ravens and then robbed the Giants of a rightful possession afterwards. How are these clowns not held accountable at all for such a pathetic performance? If i come into my job and screw up every task i'm assigned, then i'll have to answer for it. Both teams should file a grievance with the league after that pathetic display of incompetence by the officials

Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh's reputation for being a dirty player was called into question again on Thanksgiving during a game against the Houston Texans.
Suh was rushing Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub when he was blocked and tripped over offensive lineman Derek Newton. As you can see in the video above, Suh kicked out at Schaub's groin area as he fell to the ground.
But was it intentional? It's hard to tell by watching the video, but Suh's reputation makes it hard to believe otherwise.
Schaub doubled over after contact and, after the game, told reporters, "I don't really have anything to say about that play or that person."
CBS analyst Shannon Sharpe had no doubts however.
"This was intentional. You see the force? Look at the force with which he did that," Sharpe said. "There's a reason why he's the two-time reigning, voted dirtiest player in the NFL by his peers, because of plays like this."
Suh was fined by the Lions and suspended two games by the NFL after stomping on the Green Bay Packers' Evan Dietrich-Smith during the 2011 Thanksgiving Day game.
Do you think Suh kicked Schaub intentionally? Vote in our poll below and let us know.

Prologo Nago EVO 134mm Saddle
Prologo's road race ready Nago EVO 134mm saddle features Nack technology (nano aluminum carbon Kevlar) rails with aluminum filaments at the clamping area for increased stiffness. Combine that with a carbon fiber base and you have one of Prologo's lightest, high-performance saddles at just 155 grams. No wonder it's a popular choice for numerous ProTour stars. The Nago EVO also features Prologo's Easy Stroke Design (ESD), which utilizes a quick transition from the paddle portion to the narrower nose, to reduce weight and decrease friction between your inner thigh and the saddle, meaning increased comfort and power transfer to the pedals. The Nago EVO's mostly flat shape makes it easier to put weight on your sit bones and take pressure off sensitive soft tissue areas.- Vibration-damping carbon shell features variable thickness to optimize flex in the center of the saddle for excellent shock absorption
- Multi-density foam cushioning is firmer toward the rear of the saddle and softer at the nose to put support where you need it most
- Ultra-lightweight carbon rails lower weight and maintain strength
- Easy Stroke Design provides more clearance between the edge of the saddle and the inner thigh for less friction and improved power transmission

An 87-year-old grandmother took on billionaire Donald Trump. And on Thursday _ she lost. The federal jury in Chicago returned with a finding in Trump's favor after deliberating for more than five hours over two days. Goldberg, of Evanston, had sought damages totaling around $6 million. "He's obviously very happy," said Alan Garten, an executive vice president of The Trump Organization, after talking with his boss _ who wasn't in court. In the wake of the trial, Garten added, "The Trump brand is stronger than ever."

About WSCA
Western States Contracting Alliance
The Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) was formed in October 1993 by the state purchasing directors from fifteen NASPO western states. The primary purpose of creating WSCA was to establish the means by which participating states may join together in cooperative multi-State contracting. This approach helps states to achieve cost-effective and efficient acquisition of quality products and services. Cooperative purchases are developed by member states.
Membership consists of the central procurement official that heads the state central procurement organization, (or a designee for that state), from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
WSCA's competitive solicitation process has been validated by the National Association of State Procurement Officers (NASPO). NASPO and WSCA create and manage a series of multi-state cooperative contracts for products and services at substantial discounts and savings for participants. Cooperative purchasing benefits states as well as cities, counties, public schools and institutions of higher education.

AEA ad on wind power gets fact-check makeover
The American Energy Alliance (AEA) recently took out a full-page ad in the National Review June 17, 2013, energy issue. We noticed a few omissions in their promotional piece, particularly on the production tax credit. So we obliged ourselves and made a few changes. Tell us what you think!

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke
Muslim presidents, prime ministers and monarchs from at least 40 Muslim states attempted to address the issue, with 5,000 delegates, at last week's summit of the OIC held in this West African capital.
Despite early resistance, primarily from Iran, the OIC approved its first new charter since 1971, which included an unprecedented mandate to address human rights issues, intervene on behalf of women's rights and combat poverty and social injustice.
"To fly, you need two wings; we now have those wings," said OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who was re-elected for a five-year term.
President Bush sent U.S. envoy Sada Cumber, a Pakistani-American businessman, to increase dialogue with the Muslim world.
Most Muslim leaders attending the event welcomed what they called a "new U.S. approach" to the Middle East and Islam in general.
The choice of Senegal to host the OIC summit was deliberate.
Africa's block of 27 nations voiced determination to promote Islamic-Christian dialogue and stimulate development in the Muslim world.
I think its notable that Africa's 27-nation bloc was mentioned, in particular, regarding their strong leadership on pushing for reform across the Islamic world - I wonder how much of this progressive attitude could be found to be a direct reflection coming from the unprecedented good will and "planting of seeds" President Bush has undertaken across the African continent over the course of his presidency?

A man posing as a police officer and cashing fake checks may be in western Kansas. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Garden City Police put out an alert about Robert Helms Tuesday.
The KBI says Helms has recently been seen driving a maroon minivan in the western part of the state.
Eyewitness News has been following the search for Helms since last month. He's been caught on surveillance video at least twice.
He's tried to cash bad checks at least 23 times since the start of the year. The most recent were Russell and Scott City. He's also been spotted in Belle Plaine, the Winfield/Ark City area, Wellington, Mulvane, Kingman, Anthony, Girard, Pratt, Ulysses, Louisburg, Garnett, Phillipsburg, Smith Center, Beloit, Sabetha, Lyons and Hugoton.
If you see Helms call 911.

Is being connected a basic human right?
BLOGGER: NAOMI WEISER Think basic human rights and what probably spring to mind are the "usual" civil, economic, social and political rights, including the right to vote, to free speech, to be safe, to health, privacy and an adequate standard of living. Luckily for me, these all applied to me at the time I was born, but another, perhaps less obvious one has been added by the UN to the list since then – the right to be connected to the Internet. Taking this further are the US Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC), who view broadband access and adoption as ... More >>

2011 Boston Terrier Puppies
2011 Boston Terrier Puppies:
Boston Terriers, also called the Boston bull, are compact and well-muscled dogs. The body is short with a square appearance. The square looking head is flat on the top and in proportion to the rest of the body. The deep, wide, short muzzle is in proportion with the head. The nose is black. The stop is well defined. The bite is either even or slightly undershot giving the muzzle the square look. The large, round dark eyes are wide-set. The erect ears are small and either cropped or left natural. The limbs are straight and muscular. The legs are set somewhat wide apart, and the chest is broad. The neck is slightly arched. The low-set, tapering tail is short and either straight or screw shaped and is never docked. The short, fine textured coat comes in seal, brindle and white, black and white and some are born brown & white.
Temperament of the Dog:
Although the dog was originally bred for fighting, it has been since bred down to more of a companion dog. These days the breed is gentle, well-mannered and alert, and they also tend to have a few of the spunky Terrier characteristics.One advantage of the breed is that they are fairly quiet animals and they do not bark unless it is necessary.
New Boston Terrier Puppies:
They love being around people and they are quite a cuddly breed. However, there are some which prefer to be independent.The breed also tends to have a sense of humor and they can be fairly enthusiastic and occasionally Rambunctious. They can make good watchdogs although generally they are really good with strangers.
Latest Boston Terrier Puppies:
As well as being naturally quiet dogs, the female breeds have been reported to not bark at all. This means if you are looking for a watchdog, a male would be your best choice.Although they are generally a gentle breed, they can be protective of their families and extremely loyal too.Overall this breed is one of the best family pets to own.
Boston Terrier Puppies Care:
This breed will need very minimal grooming because their coat is short and they keep themselves quite clean as it is. Brushing once per week and bathing every 2 months will be perfect for this dog's coat. The Boston Terrier is prone to skin allergies, heart conditions (due to their deep chest), breathing difficulties (due to their pushed in face) and luxating patella's. They are also prone to a few eye ailments such as Cherry eye, and cataracts.
TrainingBoston Terrier Puppy:
The Boston Terrier is a loving breed that wants nothing but to please their masters, making their trainability level quite easy. These dogs are incredibly clever and will be able to be taught many tricks as well as different trials of training such as agility! Boston Terriers are notorious for being harder to housetrain but this can be taught quickly if the owner is consistent and clear.
Boston Terrier Puppies Activity:
The Boston Terrier will need about half an hour of exercise per day to keep them tired out! Either time spent in an off-leash dog park or on a longer walk will be perfect. These dogs love to play and will burn off their energy quicker if they are exercised off-leash and have the chance to play with other dogs or chase after a ball. The Boston Terrier will do well in an apartment because they don't need the space of a household to roam around in. A backyard would be great so they can run around in an outside environment at home, but is not needed.

A judge sentenced Bobbie Kugler, 31, to 7-15 years in prison. Kugler was facing four counts of second degree-murder, but pleaded guilty to four counts of manslaughter, three counts of assault and one count of arson.
Kugler's sentence is to run concurrent. She also received three years post release supervision.
Kugler started a fire at her Grape Street home in February that killed four of her children.
Kugler admitted she was drunk and had taken sleeping pills when she lit a picture on fire to burn some incense in her bedroom. She admitted that her actions started the fire that ultimately resulted in the death of her children; Gage Reavey, 14; Greg Kugler, 13; Kandee Kugler, 12; and Kaiden Kugler, 6. Three others were injured.

Falsified passports, forged emails and a missing rogue employee - London Welsh's points deduction is a story made for a spy novel.
The full RFU judgement, which has been published following a hearing that was extended to three days, is filled with surreptitious details that ultimately could undermine London Welsh's attempt to remain in the Premiership.
At the centre of the punishment is former London Welsh team manager Mike Scott, who is set to appear in front of his own disciplinary hearing in the near future.
Following the arrival of New Zealand scrum-half Tyson Keats in July last year, Scott covered up the initial rejection of Keats' application for an ancestry visa after signing for Welsh, before submitting a falsified player registration form to the RFU which stated that Keats had been born in England and was English.
The RFU, suspicious of Keats' nationality, asked for proof of the scrum-half's British passport from Scott back in October. After a delay, Scott submitted a forged passport to the RFU.
Furthermore, with London Welsh eager to establish Keats' squad status in order to create investment for other signings in their bid for survival, Scott was chased by then director of rugby Steve Lewis for clarification.
Scott produced doctored emails from the RFU confirming Keats status as an English Qualified Player (EQP), although his status as an EQP did not appear on the RFU database.
With the RFU waiting on Keats's birth certificate and Welsh surprised to see that Keats was still not appearing as an EQP on the RFU database, Scott failed to appear for Welsh's fixture against Grenoble.
Five days later, Scott confessed in an email to Lewis - describing the situation as "one almighty mess." He was then cautioned by the Metropolitan Police and admitted to fraud in February.
Keats was granted an ancestry visa following a second application in January, but the damage was already done.
He by then had played 10 matches for Welsh - in which the side had won 20 league points - enough for the RFU to rule that a 10-point punishment was deserved, with five suspended until next season.
Welsh will now appeal the judgement, stating that "the club was unknowingly the victim of one individual's fraudulent conduct."
The damage though feels irreparable. Welsh have won only one of their last 12 matches in all competitions - their last victory in the Premiership came against London Irish in December.
Now two points adrift at the bottom, their hopes of survival are incredibly slim. Away games at Gloucester, Bath and London Irish remain, with the Exiles also hosting Northampton and Worcester at home.
Plenty of the good work carried out by Welsh in edging them closer to safety has now been undercut from within. If the points deduction ultimately condemns Lyn Jones side to relegation, it will add another chapter to one of game's more bizarre stories in recent years.

Programming with the Gambas Basic IDE
If you owned a home computer in the 1980s, you are probably familiar with the Basic programming language. Basic survived into the age of the Windows PC; however, the language was never as popular on Linux, which comes with several powerful alternatives. Projects such as HBasic [1] or wxBasic [2] showed much promise but didn't survive for long in the wild. KBasic [3], which was originally designed to provide a Basic environment for KDE, still exists as a commercial program for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. RealBasic is another commercial, closed source development environment for Linux, Windows, and the Mac OS.
One free alternative for Basic in Linux, Gambas [4], has continued to gain ground in the past few years and has gathered quite a large developer community. Designed as an integrated development environment, Gambas helps developers write programs with a graphical user interface. It supports the deployment of Gtk+ [5] (the underpinnings for Gnome, and XFCE) and Qt [6] (the basis for KDE). Gambas currently supports Qt 3, but not the more recent Qt 4. The IDE runs on Linux only, and the roadmap does not currently include ports to other operating systems.
The developers place much emphasis on making sure no one sees Gambas as a Microsoft Visual Basic clone, from which it differs in various details. However, if you have previous knowledge of Visual Basic, you should have no difficulty finding your way around Gambas – especially considering the documentation explains the differences between the two languages.

Victoria's peak health groups have welcomed today's announcement detailing the extent of amendments to Victoria's Tobacco Act, including smoking bans in bars and workplaces.
However the groups said, despite significant progress being made, more needs to be done to curb the devastating toll of tobacco.
Chief Executive Officer of VicHealth, Rob Moodie, said the legislation, currently before Parliament, would prove popular with the Victorian public.
""In the last few years we have seen an huge increase in public support for tobacco control initiatives and smokefree environments, and people across the State will be pleased with these further efforts to protect them from harms caused by tobacco,"" said Dr Moodie.
Director of the Cancer Council of Victoria, Professor David Hill said Victorians were well and truly ready to become smokefree.
"These reforms will help address the tremendous burden of tobacco on the community, and by ensuring bars and clubs are smokefree the State Government is encouraging people to quit smoking."
"Victorians have embraced the idea of smokefree bars and clubs to the point where the majority have signaled that they want them within the year," said Professor Hill.
Professor Hill cited new Cancer Council figures released this week showing that 69% of Victorians who support total smoking bans in hospitality venues think they should be brought in sooner than July 1, 2007.
"Almost 80% of people who think the smoking bans should be brought in sooner want to see them implemented within 6 months, so it would be fantastic to see bars and clubs take this public support onboard and become smokefree immediately."
Executive Director of Quit Victoria, Todd Harper, said the State Government had made a lot of progress in the recent years in relation to tobacco control.
"The reform package continues efforts by the State Government in the last few years to reduce harm caused by tobacco and it is great to see such a promising investment in the quality of life of future generations," said Mr Harper.
"Victorians can be confident that we will have some of the best laws controlling the marketing of tobacco. The ban on buzz marketing and an end to on smoking at underage dance and music events means younger people will be less vulnerable to the cunning marketing tactics of the tobacco industry."
"Still, as part the State Government commitment to reducing exposure to tobacco marketing, we would like to see a renewed effort to put the issue of removing the display of tobacco products in shops and retail outlets back on the public and political agenda."
The Heart Foundation Victorian Division Chief Executive Officer, Robyn Charlwood, said that advertising at the point of sale is a particularly important avenue for tobacco companies to recruit new smokers.
"The State Government reforms are obviously dedicated to reducing the uptake of smoking by children, to enable young people to become more resistant to the persuasive influences of the tobacco industry," said Ms Charlwood.
"Given this focus on smoking and young people it is the right time to seriously consider the important step of banning tobacco displays at point-of-sale that are prominent in venues frequented by children."

This story is part of a special series that explores energy issues. For more, visit The Great Energy Challenge.
Joel Spira wasn't thinking much about saving energy when he began experimenting with the idea of interrupting the flow of electricity to a light bulb. It was the late 1950s, and not only were Americans buying lots of new homes, they were hosting dinner parties with mood music. Spira thought that through the right lighting, he could provide the ambience.
"I wanted to create a nice environment," recalls the 83-year-old physicist whose invention—the solid-state dimmer switch—has just been added to the Smithsonian Institution's collection as one of the icons in the story of electricity.
But Spira's work is not only found in museums. His company, Lutron, based in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia, can boast of installing lighting-control systems in the New York Times building, the Statue of Liberty, the Bank of China and many more high-profile locations, some of which the company declines to make public. And although as a privately held company it does not release sales figures, Lutron claims that market penetration of its array of more than 15,000 lighting control products is substantial enough to save customers a total $1 billion in energy costs annually, and reduce the total U.S. lighting bill by 3 percent.
(See Related, Imminent "Lighting Revolution" Could Save Trillions of Dollars)
Inventing Ambience in an Apartment
It's a business that's come a long way from the makeshift lab where Spira began his work—the spare bedroom of his New York City apartment. He remembers his wife, Ruth Rodale Spira, wearing safety gloves and patiently testing his device on light bulbs for hours at a time, trying to find just the right balance of bright to dim.
Spira, a U.S. Navy veteran, had interrupted his physics studies at Purdue University to work in a top-secret World War II radar program. After he returned to Purdue and earned his degree in 1948, he worked for a decade designing guided missiles at the U.S. military aviation firm, Glenn L. Martin Company (one of the predecessors of Martin Marietta, now Lockheed Martin.) But deep down, he felt weaponry was not his calling.
"The Cold War mentality was really finally getting to me," he said. "I wanted to do something else."
That something else, it turned out, was testing ways to mute the light produced by ordinary incandescent bulbs. His vision was for a device that could control the level of light in an ordinary home the way stage lights could be controlled in a theater.
At the time, the only way to dim a light involved using a device called a rheostat, which actually absorbed electrical energy, converting it into heat rather than light.
But by 1959, Spira had learned of a recently invented solid-state semiconductor device called a thyristor, a type of transistor, which could interrupt electricity instead of absorbing it, causing it to pulse instead of flow freely.
"We tried it out and, lo and behold, we were off to the races," he said, explaining that it was much smaller than the bulky rheostats then used for lighting control, and could easily fit in an ordinary wall box.
The new switch was attractive and produced far less heat than its massive predecessors. And, although it didn't seem to matter at the time, it used less electricity and extended the life of the bulb. Spira and his wife, after enough hours dimming bulbs in their New York City apartment, became convinced that they had hatched an idea for a new business.
So in 1961, they packed up their equipment and headed about 100 miles west, to Emmaus, Pennsylvania, where Ruth's father, organic farming pioneer and publisher J.I. Rodale, had given them 1,000 square feet of space to set up shop.
Lutron, the company they founded there, became the first to mass-market dimmer switches. The company's portfolio has grown over the years to include scores of other light control products; Lutron holds more than 3,000 patents globally. Employees now work on a sprawling campus of five buildings in Coopersburg, about 10 miles from the original facility.
And although other firms now make dimmers, Lutron is still the only company to create systems of dimmers and motorized window shades that control both electric light and daylight. The award-winning project that Lutron designed for the New York Times's Manhattan headquarters, which opened in 2007, achieved a 72 percent reduction in electrical consumption over ordinary office lighting. The yearly energy savings are estimated at $315,100.
A Bright Idea for Saving Power
Spira first thought of the idea of promoting the energy-saving qualities of his lighting control devices not long after his company was founded, after reading an article in Foreign Affairs Quarterly by a sheik, an oil industry official from the Middle East, who made the argument that oil was being depleted, and that prices would rise in the not-so-distant future.
Spira said the author also pointed out a conclusion that he himself had reached years earlier—"oil is a war-making issue."
At the time, though, Spira recalls, whenever he touted his devices' energy-saving properties to friends, colleagues, and customers, he was met with the same bland response: "That's nice."
In another six years, the first Earth Day would build public recognition of the need to cut down on air and water pollution and build a healthy, sustainable environment. The Arab oil embargo, from October 1973 to March 1974, sent gasoline and fuel oil prices—and consequently prices of just about everything else—soaring and underscored the economic need to save energy.
Spira recalls that Lutron was ready, promoting its energy savings in a variety of ways. Still, Spira said, he viewed the environmental movement of the 1970s as primarily "lip service."
Years later, he can now say he sees a genuine interest in power conservation—with people responding enthusiastically to the idea of saving energy by controlling both artificial light and sunlight.
(See Related, CFLs Could Cut World Energy for Lighting by 40 Percent)
Spira still goes to work every day, to a spacious yet simple corner office that's scattered with books, papers, framed photographs, sculptures and the occasional slide rule. The window shades are set to rise and lower automatically, depending on the level of sunlight. The room lights turn on when someone enters the office, and turn off soon after someone leaves.
Amid all the high-end technology, one item is still conspicuously absent in Spira's office. He adamantly refuses to use a computer and isn't all that fond of hand-held calculators either. After presiding over years of technological innovations, the inventor himself still prefers the simplicity of a slide rule.
Still, Spira looks to the future, envisioning more innovations, such as a network system to control the energy use of home and office electronics.
And he's still basking in the glow of the April ceremony at the Smithsonian, when he officially donated his dimmer artifacts. The 1964 version of the original "Capri" rotary switch, with its gleaming golden center, is now locked away at the Smithsonian along with notes, photographs and product advertisements, as part of the Electricity Collection project that is being developed at the National Museum of American History.
The Lutron materials joined more than 3 million objects, including many other types of light switches, theatrical lighting controls from the 1920s, light dimming sockets from the 1910s and several experimental versions of the invention that made all those things possible—Thomas Edison's original incandescent light bulb.
Museum Director Brent D. Glass said at the time, "Collections such as this one from Lutron help us to understand the continuation of the electrical evolution, the process of invention and the history of business and manufacture."
For Spira, that history is still playing out.
"If I were a baseball player, I couldn't play anymore," he muses. "Doing this, I can still play. As long as you don't lose your buttons, you can still play."

The Meadows Country Club christened its new 125-foot cell tower with a flag-raising ceremony July 3.
The ceremony, conducted by retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Hilmes, was a symbol of hope.
"We Americans regard (the flag) as a symbol of cherished freedom and a land of justice and honor," Hilmes said. "I am proud to be in the land of the free and grateful to those who made it so and keep it so."
The flag was raised by the Alpha Company Flag Detail of the Vietnam Veterans Brotherhood under the command of retired Army Capt. Bobby Martin. A bugler played the revelry.
"Thank you for coming, and God bless America," Hilmes said.
