Harrison Ford was hospitalized after being injured on the set of "Star Wars: Episode VII."
Disney said the 71-year-old actor was being treated for an ankle injury that happened during filming Thursday. The "Star Wars" sequel is being filmed at Pinewood Studios outside of London.
The accident wasn't a stunt sequence, but involved the door of a spacecraft from the film. A local police report on the incident cited a "garage door" injuring a 71 year-old man, but didn't name Ford.
The Millennium Falcon, which Ford's Han Solo piloted in the first "Star Wars" trilogy," was recently disclosed as part of "Episode VII."
Ford is one of several original "Star Wars" stars returning to the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel. He's joined by fellow alums Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew.
Disney said shooting will continue as planned while Ford recuperates.
Ruby Dee, an acclaimed actress and civil rights activist whose versatile career spanned stage, radio television and film, has died at age 91, according to her daughter.
Nora Davis Day told The Associated Press on Thursday that her mother died at home in New Rochelle on Wednesday night of "natural causes."
Dee, who frequently acted alongside her husband of 56 years, Ossie Davis, was with loved ones, she added.
"We have had her for so long and we loved her so much," Day said. "She took her final bow last night at home surrounded by her children and grandchildren."
Day added: "We gave her our permission to set sail. She opened her eyes, closed her eyes and away she went."
Her long career brought her an Oscar nomination at age 83 for best supporting actress for her maternal role in the 2007 film "American Gangster." She also won an Emmy and was nominated for several others.
She and her late husband were frequent collaborators and also activists who fought for civil rights, particularly for blacks.
"We used the arts as part of our struggle," she said in 2006. "Ossie said he knew he had to conduct himself differently with skill and thought."
Davis died in February 2005. She is survived by three children: Nora, Hasna and Guy, and seven grandchildren.
Day said funeral services will be private but a public memorial is planned.
Bar Refaeli has split with her boyfriend.
The 29-year-old model and Adi Ezra have reportedly called time on their relationship after getting into a furious row over Rolling Stones rocker Sir Mick Jagger at her birthday celebrations last week.
Israeli publications claim the businessman accused the blonde beauty of dancing too close to the 70-year-old rocker — who was romantically linked with a mystery brunette last week — at an exclusive Rolling Stones party, with one report claiming Ezra even grabbed Refaeli and pulled her off the dance floor at Mr. and Mrs. Lee restaurant.
The former couple celebrated Refaeli's birthday last Wednesday at the Rolling Stones gig in Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park before heading to the private party.
After their argument, the pair left separately and are believed not to have spoken since.
Refaeli was in a relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio for four years.
Rene Angelil may be giving up the day-to-day managing of Celine Dion's career but he's not going to be far away.
While Aldo Giampaolo will be Dion's new manager, Angelil and Dion will still make the big decisions when it comes to the pop superstar's career.
Giampaolo, the new CEO of Feeling Productions, insisted in an interview Thursday that he's mainly going to be an administrator, handling the contracts and various requests that come in.
"It's going to allow Rene to step back a little from the little details," Giampaolo said.
Giampaolo will certainly offer his opinions and advice but he's there mainly to carry out the power couple's wishes.
"The bottom line is that I'll do what they want," Giampaolo said. "This is Celine's career, it's what they've built together ... Rene is always present but not on a daily basis."
Angelil's main job will be concentrating on his recovery from a second bout with throat cancer. A cancerous tumour was removed on Dec. 23 and he is in remission.
However, turning over the day-to-day management is something the couple, who married in 1994, have been considering for several years.
Giampaolo, who has been friends with Angelil for more than two decades, said he was first approached five years ago.
Dion's recent album, 2013's "Loved Me Back to Life," topped the chart in Canada en route to going platinum four times over.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has declined to file a felony charge against pop star Justin Bieber in an alleged tussle with a woman over a cellphone at a family entertainment centre.
The case was referred to the L.A. city attorney's office for consideration of a possible misdemeanour prosecution.
The woman said Bieber pulled her phone out of her purse to see if she was videotaping him when he was hitting balls at a batting cage. She showed him she was not.
The district attorney's report Thursday stated that the woman also said her daughter was crying, but when police interviewed the girl, she said she was crying out of excitement at seeing the star.

Charmed Living Runner
Hi all! I'm Rebecca Silbaugh from Ruby Blue Quilting Studio. I'm pleased to introduce you to my Charmed Living Runner design. This is my first project for the Moda Bake Shop (Thanks Moda!) and I could be more excited to share it with you. It's a great project to make for you or as a gift. With the variety of charm packs available, you can make this out of any fabric and it will look spectacular. Also included are optional applique instructions. Feel free to change the applique to suit your fabrics or leave it out entirely.
I hope you enjoy this pattern and have as much fun making one as I have. For more information on who I am and what other patterns I have designed, please check out my blog at rubybluequilts.blogspot.com. Also, for wholesale inquiries or more information on where my patterns are sold, please e-mail me at email@example.com.
* Backing - 3/4 Yard
* Binding - 1/4 Yard
* 16" square scrap for the flower petals
* 4" square scrap for the large flower center
* 2" x 4" scrap for the small flower center
* 6" square scrap for the leaves
* 1 Yard Green 1/2" ricrac for flower stems
* Threads to match
Begin by separating each of the charm squares into piles. There will be a pile for each piece that will need to be cut. This is a good planning step to make sure you distribute the colors.
You will need one pile with 3 squares, one with 18 squares, one with 11 squares, and one with 8 squares. Keep in mind it might be helpful to use smaller prints in the pile with 11 squares since they will be cut the smallest.
Alternate the small and large "dark" pieces by sewing 4 units together side to side. Make 2 borders. Each border should measure 4-1/2" x 18-1/2".
email@example.com and I will post your picture on my blog! Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed my tutorial!

Love this little runner. I recently discovered the versatility of charm packs after making two Schnibble quilts. Charm packs allow me to use a new line of fabric in colors and patterns that I may not even interest me at the quilt shop. Signed up for you blog---keep the patterns coming and thank you for sharing.

OK, I think I can do this. I've wanted to learn to quilt for quite awhile, but am terribly intimidated by the whole process. This table runner looks amazing yet simple enough to make for a newbie such as myself.

I love this, it is so pretty but is there a pattern for the flower or is it a by-guess, by-gosh thing?

The applique page didn't work on the printable version like I'd hoped. If anyone would like to e-mail me to get a copy of the applique instructions, please do so. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com! Sorry for the mix up!

The applique instructions are available in the printable pattern. The last page will give you the templates and instructions you need. Sorry for the confusion!

Ammonia-Free Hair Color, No Appointment Necessary
When L'Oréal Professionnel launched Inoa in 2010, the ammonia-free dye was branded as the first big evolution in hair color since, well, professional color services began. And MEA (monoethanolamine)—its ammonia alternative that gently pries apart the hair cuticle rather than busting it wide open, thus minimizing the potential for damage—was only part of the story. Among its thirteen patents was a unique lipid-delivery system by which an oil-based (rather than a water-based) carrier gently but effectively delivered pigment into the hair shaft for richer, less abrasive results. Now, the company is taking its technology to the people with Olia by Garnier. Billed as "the first oil-powered home haircolor" system, the twenty-four-shade range—which includes two blacks, ten browns, five reds, and seven blondes—brings the same ammonia-free experience to the comfort of your own home. Boasting a 60-percent-oil blend made from sunflower, passionflower, camellia, and meadowfoam oils, there is a creamlike consistency to the combination of the developer and the colorant, which also happens to emit a faint floral aroma as it comes out of the incredibly ergonomic tear-shaped applicator. At $9.99 a box, it sure beats a trip to the salon.
Available at drugstores.

The Pirates arrive in St. Louis to take on the World Champions with a well rested bullpen. The team also announced that Jared Hughes has been recalled to replace Evan Meek. The Bucs bullpen will play a vital in trying to take the series from the Cardinals. It will take a team effort as St. Louis has received solid pitching and hitting on their way to the top of the NL Central.
It's hard to imagine, but the Cards have left a few games slip away in Chicago and Milwaukee or their lead over the NL Central would be much more commanding. The team has struggled on the basepaths, much like the agressive Pirates have in April.
Charlie Morton and Adam Wainwright head to the bump tonight in a matchup of sinkerballers. Wainwright still has curve but if you look at an ESPN graph from ten days ago, you can see the curve isn't the dominant punchout pitch it once was. The Cardinals stud is back after Tommy John surgery and will flash a changeup that the Buccos left handed hitters will need to watch for tonight.
The good news for the rejuvenated Pirates offensive juggernaut is several players have hit well against Wainright including Andrew McCutchen who has two doubles in his 6-for-15 career against Wainwright while Garrett Jones has also hit well going 5-for-16 while driving in three teammates. Jose Tabata and Neil Walker also have some success in six plate appearences against the right hander. Tabata has a double among his three hits, while Walker has two and has driven in three runs.
Allen Craig returns for the Cardinals and has lit up Morton going 6-for-9 with two doubles.
If the Bucs can get to Wainwright early by feasting on his curveball (hello, Pedro!) this game could be an entertaining start to the series for Pirates fans. If Wainwright finds his groove, he could pile up some strikeouts. I like to think the Bucs can hit a little bit tonight and let's see if Morton can have success against the Cardinals lefties which he has struggled against in the past.

"Jerry, it's Frank Costanza. Mr. Steinbrenner's here … George is dead… Call me back."
Press conference at 10:30, Tambellini out, MacT in, Howson in consigliere role. more later.
Press conference at 10:30, Tambellini out, MacT in, Howson in consigliere role. more later.
Stupid Tencer interrupted the question, but I think Rishaug asked what kind of power Tambellini actually had. Lowe saying he had full control. Although he does say he asked Tambellini to do some things he didn't want to do, but he is only the conduit to the owner.
Blames Katz now as well as Tambellini? Maybe this presser is the beginning of the end for him. That wasn't smart. He is loosing his stuff badly in this one.
I want to look Kevin Lowestraight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, floor-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d*ckless, hopeless, heartless, fat-*ss, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey sh*t he is! Hallelujah! Holly Sh*t! Where's the Tylenol?"
I don't think you would have wanted to go into the corners with Kevin Lowe in the eighties.
Yep…he's become Bob Pulford, but both Lowe and Pulford were damn good hockey players, and good coaches and GM's before burning out and becoming grumpy old men.
Judge a person by the full arc of their life.
This is Lowe's last hurrah. He knows it. MacT knows it is his own too. They aren't quitters. They both could have ridden off into the sunset.
There still is a hockey man in Lowe. But he was a competitive bad ass, and still is. Part of MacT's job is to extract the good, and eliminate the bad. Tambellini was not able to do that. MacT will have a much better chance.
Stauffer says Lowe is here until Lowe tells him its time to go.
Four coaches and two GMs have been fired on Lowe's pathetic watch over the Oilers (I count him being booted upstair as being fired). This is his last chance because there is nowhere else to hide and no other chumps willing to be his fall guys. Let's say MacT and Howson actually do a pretty good job this summer – but if our goaltending sucks or we get some key injuries next season – we could be in the lottery again. I actually hope it happens because that would be the end of Lowe's reign of error.
Honestly – it's not Edmonton that's the problem with UFA's – it's Kevin Lowe and his band of pathetic hangers on that are only there to make him feel better. The big tell will be if they don't go jihad on the pro scouting team and force Kruger to keep Smith and Bucky. If those two areas don't change this summer then we will all be here again next year – except this time I'll be celebrating Lowe's firing instead of feeling nauseous watching his arrogant sideshow at the PC.
The venom to Howson is unjustified. I am fully aware of the "old boys club" label, and can understand it too, but the last time the Oilers went outside the org they got Tambellini – who was either incompetent or unwilling to stand up to a guy who pulled his strings. It is not like they got an unqualified bumpkin to take over.
Howson did a good to great job in his assistant GM role here before, and did a reasonably good job as GM for the CBJs. That he failed at that job and was fairly fired does not make him useless for the job he did before. I like him for identifying talent at the pro and amateur-level. I think he will bring value as a guy who has gained perspective from his time in the CBJ org'n – notably on how not to build a good team and what can be done to avoid selling your future for magic beans. Again, I get the angst over his place in the org, but better him than someone less qualified or more talentless.
i stand by what I said of MacTGM (MTGM): he needs to make the right moves to surround the top players with strong vet presence and support players. He said the right things in that regard in his presser, but I withold judgement until he actually does it.
Some of you are treating this like a twitter forum – express the strongest emotion immediately, avoid using measured/balanced language and include some curse words to emphasise your displeasure. Again, I get the emotion, but I don't think today is the day to pass judgement on what has happened. No time for thought yet.
LMHF#1: Exhibit A as to why I have no confidence in his judgement. Kelly Buchberger "highly thought of"…really? REALLY???
He makes the best Caesers.
bookje: To be fair, I accept my status as a leach. I record the games on my PVR and watch them without commercials. I never pay to go to games, but get free tickets every so often. So, my contribution is to my cable package extras and a few slices of pizza a year. I pay for 1/5th of Ryan Jones' skate lacing time for one game.
And you still overpayed based on value received
Did anyone catch the part in the presser where MacT mentioned Lucic by name and then Lowe said "I don't think you can say his name" ya know, cos it's tampering, and then MacT immediately recognized the gaffe?
Was almost comical to hear MacT expound so passionately about how much the game has changed since they played. I guess the positive is they're learning some lessons from getting schooled by the rest of the league.
If the NJ Devils were a Mickey Mouse org before Lou, what are the Oilers at this point? Effing Goofy!
It's somewhat understandable the arrogance these guys have from winning all those Cups at such a young age but it really is distasteful to see it on such obvious display. I suspect a little humility would go a long way with this 'management team' Today, Lowe reminded me of every insufferable prick boss I'd ever had rolled into one. He seems a long way removed from the 'Slats' father figure that mentored that young team so effectively – so long ago.
Oilers press conference making news ….
Winnipeg media can't figure out why Lowe and Mac T are espousing very different things….. Lowe: Patience / Mact T – Urgency
K.Lowe – we know how to win 80′s success / Mact T – game has changed.
Two very different thoughts from each person.( Hockey News – if you are a player and you just witnessed that – you want to have a meeting with management -very confusing )
Hockey News reporter Adam P. – Kevin Lowe talking about the 80′s? How many cups he has won?
Everyone commenting on the reaction Lowe gave to 'fair' questions….
I have yet to see the PC – but hearing what 3rd party reporters are saying – Kevin Lowe embarrassed the organization today.
Howson going on and on about Yak the guy he couldn't have been more clear about in June that he didn't want to draft
…and complete level, never mind you have a roster of teenagers and barely employable plugs, its the compete level thats missing
Some of you are treating this like a twitter forum – express the strongest emotion immediately, avoid using measured/balanced language and include some curse words to emphasise your displeasure.
Screwyou, ur comment is like facist Hitler, my opinion is full of more thoughtfulness than you. Lowe is Dwerp #ahole #MacT4ver
A few thoughts :
If Lowe actually said about 2 types of fan, then I'm pretty much done with him. That's incredibly stupid for anyone with a public business to say. Never thought he wall hat big a schmuck.
With Tambo gone, we can kiss 1st overall goodbye. I'm gonna miss that creepy smile pic of his.
MacT is only holding down the position until 2020 when the management team will consist of Bucky as GM, Joey Moss as assistant GM and Lowe's floating head in a jar still overseeing it alla la Futurama.
Someone should call in and ask Stauffer how it feels to be a man whore.
Long live the nepotism.

Thank you baby Jesus. No more Mr. Dithers. If Lowe was following him out the door, I'd be dancing in the street.
MacT is more old boys club bullshit, but he's maybe the one old boy that really has a chance to do it right. Especially if he's given full control.
Yes. Fired 2 weeks early. Firing him live on tsn right after he won the lottery would have been priceless.
I have yet to see the PC – but hearing what 3rd party reporters are saying – Kevin Lowe embarrassed the organization today.
If that's what it takes to embarrass the organization, I can't help but think about how he's managed the whole. Freaking. Thing. for the last 15 years. His message hasn't changed, and asside from one magical year when a top 10 player landed in his lap, neither has his results.
Only thing bigger than his balls for saying it is his ego for believing what he said.
The guy may have been a great player, and may have made a hell of a trade to build the 05-06 run, but other than that he's been shit.
I sure hope Katz was watching. He needs to know his man is done. Time to move on, or look like a bigger ass for keeping him around while knowing his time is up.
Yes. Fired 2 weeks early. Firing him live on tsn right after he won the lottery would have been priceless.
It would have been even better if his firing was revealed via Duthie taking a photo of his crossed out face from an envelope (after the lotto).

I look a lot like Batfink. His friend is Karate. Karate had everything including the kitchen sink in his uniform. Now that I think about it, that show was probably not very politically correct. His wings were a shield of steel. That is all I remember….
I get the feeling that Kevin Lowe is really, really angry right now about how Tambellini created this whole fucking mess that made him look bad in this press conference.
FYI, just because people are jumping all over it, the actual comment was:
"We have two types of fans – we have paying customers, and we have people watching the game that we still care about, but.. certainly the people that go to the games or support, we spend a lot of time talking to them, delivering our message."
Now it wasn't something I would have thrown out there, but it's not as bad as "fuck you non paying fans!" that is being read into by may people. Just saying.
He didn't say good stuff today though, and I already thought he should be gone.. but I think people are really picking things apart. I wasn't sure but he might have also implied that the "those watching the game" type of fans were the media. Could be wrong.. but it made sense coming off of a pretty venomous question from MacKinnon. At any rate, I didn't think it was a good thing to say, but he wasn't saying that non-paying fans can go eff themselves or are unimportant.
Flame on…
coming off of a pretty venomous question from MacKinnon.
That's a sentance I never thought I'd see.
MacKinnon has always been the biggest cheerleader of them all.
Since the word arrogant is really trending here at LT today, I'll play along…
This latest deck chair shuffling is just so arrogant, baffling, hilarious, ridiculous, insulting, backwards and wrong, that it will probably work. GOILERS!!
You know I could actually be convinced to give MacT as GM and Howson as Hockey Ops President a try. Just take a walk in the snow Lowe but never come home.
Screw that, Fire Lowe and Bucky. Joey Moss for President. He's been around the Oilers forever and knows more about cleaning up the filth in the organization than anyone. I am fairly confident Moss can do a better job as President than anyone else working for the Oilers.
Also, anyone else concerned with what a MacT run Oilers might do to Paajarvi?
For those looking for an Oilers distraction today, Down Goes Brown has this.
All bets are off for the roster now.
Listening to him speak today, I get the feeling that MacT already knows who he is going to trade, and he repeated the words bold, risk, and difficult decision.
I'd say we now need to add MPS, Eberle, and definitely Yakupov to the names Gagner and Hemsky as "on the block."
My gut says Yak City is leaving town this summer. Hope I'm wrong.
My gut says Yak City is leaving town this summer.Hope I'm wrong.
It's possible, but I don't think that's what he was saying, nor do I think it will happen. I think the Oilers could be aggressive / "bold" by moving their 1st rounder (if they wanted.. but logic says draft one of the big C's available)… they could trade Gagner (which some might see as bold), Hemsky, maybe some of their prospects… or he could have meant "bold" as in dismantling our entire supporting cast (Smyth, Horcoff, Jones, Petrell, etc..) and rebuilding it. Hard to say.
At any rate, I think Yak is safe… unless we are after a REAL key name.. such as a player with size and skill and is the right age.
Racki: At any rate, I think Yak is safe… unless we are after a REAL key name.. such as a player with size and skill and is the right age.
You can't say his name yet – it would be tampering.

I love you.
Too much?
Just returned from being thrown out of a "comedy club"…
I might as well been heckling Kevin Lowe/MacT…for being absolute total wankers…
Just returned from being thrown out of a "comedy club"…
Since you volunteered this, is it okay if I make repeated references to it everytime you say anything, to the point that it starts to define your persona around here?
Because seriously, that was about the best entrance to this thread you could have made.
(But what the hell timezone are you in?)
Yak, MSP, Hall and RNH are the core at forward – you need two more big bodies – but not Lucic who would be over-priced and ineffective. Gagner, Hemmer and yes Eberle are trading chips. Eberle's contract could go out for a big money top pair dman. Harti is the only guy in the bottom 6 worth worrying about and Horcoff can stay for one more year as long as we have a compliance buyout in hand. Smyth is a 4th liner, Belanger and Brown are extra forwards
Schulz jr, Smid, Petry and Schulz sr can stay on defense – we need all the decent players we can get. Add Kbomb and a legit top pair guy. Potter or Fistric as 7-8 guys
DD did a fine job this year so you just need to add a good backup.
So we need:
2 big top 6 forwards (#2 center and #2 RW).
1 LH top 4 dman
1 big 4th line center
2 big 3rd/4th line RW
1 backup goaler
Hall RNH Yak
MSP xxx xxx
Harti Horcoff xxx
Smyth xxx xxx
Smid Schulz jr
xxx Petry
Schulz sr Kbomb
Trade Bait: Eberle, Gagner, Hemmer, #1 pick, both #2 picks. I deal the #1 pick to Philly for Coutourier in a second if that deal is there. He solves many problems, can play right away, and let's us use Eberle/Gags/Hemmer to fill holes on D and RW.
asia oil, I wouldn't trade this year;s first for Coururier at all. The Oilers could get Barkov or more likely Monahan. Both have his size and defensive chops but a much higher upside. Think Staal or Kopitar.
I would trade either of the seconds and every first and second from 2014 -2020 to get the other players needed, though.
I will believe MacT for what he says if:
"Take on some semblance of risk? Bold things? Explore different things?"
• Trade Gagner
"Make the tough decisions? Do the difficult things?"
• Buy out Smyth
• Trade Hemsky
"Greater depth? Competitiveness? Support for our young core?"
• Buy out Belanger
• Replace Jones, Petrell, Smithson, Khabibulin, Whitney, Fistric, Potter
MacT: I have an MBA.
MSM: Oh sorry, we'll speak more slowly.
Please don't trade Ebs. I don't see Edmonton winning that trade. You won't find anyone better to replace him with and when (if?) this team is finally competing his contract will be a steal. Coincidentally those holes on RW you mention could be filled by Eberle and Hemsky, just sayin'.
Every player is tradeable for the right price, but I just don't see a scenario where Ebs nets you a stud #1 D-man, and anything less would be giving him away or taking someone else's garbage contract. This has become one of those absurd quirks Oilers fans have developed this season in an effort to second guess the GM and figure out how to build a contender. like trading for Penner. The two big knocks on his tenure in Edmonton were that he plays soft (and he does except in the playoffs) and that he was aggravatingly inconsistent, the two problems with the current roster. The second half of this season MPS has been a faster, tougher player than Penner ever was in Edmonton.
Rondo: Who cares having an MBA does not mean much, maybe you are good a memorizing .
I don't like to be rude or glib. But you're never been to university, have you? And you sure as hell have never taken any graduate studies.
My Dad calls my office todat, concerned that in the midst of the Market Bloodbath that I might have missed the firing and subsequent press ocnference…
Fortunately due to the kind people on this blog, I was listening to the TSN link throughout most of the PC.
When I brought up the defensive stance Lowe took to Spector and MacKinnon's questioning, my Dad Laughs and says, "Yes, but you have to let him off the hook for that. Kevin Lowe is not a very smart man and he's just answering the questions with the tools he has at his disposal."
"Steve Smith": I love you.
Too much?
Not enough! Do you know how many Stanley Cups I've watched be won? I will fight you in a barn!
bookje: I will fight you in a barn!
Give up the straw man arguments already!
"Jerry, it's Frank Costanza. Mr. Steinbrenner's here … George is dead… Call me back."
I've laughed every single time I've read this today. Bravo LT for picking that one out.
I hope that MacT does an amazing job and Lord Stanley comes home to the City of Champions. Best of luck.
Hopefully, the Oiler's turn a corner here and add to their core but I'm afraid they are going to trade #14.

Oilers should now go all in with the 'Old Boy' revolution this summer:
1) Send Yakupov to a one week golf academy to help his acculturation. He stays with Gretzky and they discuss being where the puck is going to go.
2) Send Hall to be a guest at Messiers hotel. He spends his evenings talking about being a captain and sleeping with Madonna with the proprietor.
3) Send Schultz Jr to play ball hockey with Coffey. He seems to have lost his love of the game playing with plumbers.
4) Send Nuge to Dr. Randy Gregg. Afterwards Adam Lamb for workouts.
5) Send Paajarvi and Hartakeinin to a remote northern cabin in Finland. They spend there days doing upper body work outs in the woods. There nights drinking copious amounts of Vodka while attending Esa Tikkanen's famous finishing school Charm and Etiquette for Nordic Hockey players.
6) Send Eberle to the Turks and Cacos to play ball hockey with Anderson. They can discuss being great on a team that has players that are greater.
7) Send Hemsky to Sather. Tell Sather to send back a damn good top 4 defender.
8) Send Smyth on a twelve month round the world cruise. Where he finds Smyth, beloved and retired Oilers great.
asia oil, I wouldn't trade this year;s first for Coururier at all. The Oilers could get Barkov or more likely Monahan. Both have his size and defensive chops but a much higher upside. Think Staal or Kopitar.
Magic beans versus a known quantity. You can probably extend Coutourier at a good rate this season and his game/size is a perfect fit for this team. Then we need value big guys for the 2nd line. We can't keep stockpiling high draft picks who will command big salaries in year 4 – the cap will not allow this. That's what we have to trade Gags and Eberle right now. We have to fill holes and these guys have redundant skills on our roster (small skill players). You can't fall in love with players and Gags, Hemmer and Eberle are too much of a good thing. Which top 6 would you prefer:
Hall RNH Eberle
MSP Gags Yak
Hall RNH Yak
MSP Coutourier Brower (or similar)
#1 is soft, young and skilled – while #2 has way more ability to play a tough 2 way game while still possessing a ton of skill. That Eberle contract is a killer as well now that we have YAK who will be a superior player.
Has anyone considered that Lowe's defensive and ill-considered reaction to the questions might be less about his arrogance and have much more to do with the likely fact that he was answering exactly the same questions 24hrs previously in Katz's office? He was embarrassed to be asked publicly what Katz had already grilled him over privately, and perhaps that's where the strange answers (paying customers) came from – under the pressure he fell back on the sort of answers he gave Katz.
I would hope the lashing out was not arrogance but the fear of a man on the hot seat.
godot10: I don't think you would have wanted to go into the corners with Kevin Lowe in the eighties.
Yeah, but that was thirty years ago, and I'm willing to be dollars to doughnuts that if I have KLowe's Rolodex or Google Contacts list at my disposal, along with a whole business operation working for me, that I could certainly build a team that is better than this group.
If you think that tenacity, toughness, and competitiveness are the sole domain of NHL GM's than you obviously haven't been in a room with Bill Gates when his minions inform him that once again, Apple is taking a fair share of the market.
I'm surprised at the naivete of those who are shocked/surprised/offended that Tambo was fired and Lowe is still around.
This is how corporations work.
First the staff (in hockey terms, the players) get the blame, and they get reassigned, demoted, or changed.
If that doesn't work, the managers (in hockey terms, the coach) get blamed, and they get replaced, sometimes by new people (Quinn), sometimes by promotion (Renney, Krueger).
If that doesn't work, the VP (in hockey terms, the GM) gets replaced, sometimes by new people, sometimes by promotion, or more correctly in this case, rehire and promote (MacT).
And last, if that doesn't work, the board (in hockey terms the owner, Katz) replaces the CEO (in hockey terms the EVP i.e. Lowe).
Each level of change of course usually ALSO cascades down the line in both corporations and hockey teams. So a new VP (GM) often means the existing managers (coach) must fear for his/her job too.
MacT is now the third level up the corporate chain of failure. He may or may not keep Krueger. If he doesn't turn the ship around in, say, two years, then and only then will Lowe be on the firing line.
Welcome to corporate life – sh*t flows downhill.
Please don't trade Ebs. I don't see Edmonton winning that trade. You won't find anyone better to replace him with and when (if?) this team is finally competing his contract will be a steal. Coincidentally those holes on RW you mention could be filled by Eberle and Hemsky, just sayin'.
I like all of the Oilers top 6 as players individually, yet at some point they will have to decide which of the guys that don't drive play, can't play in the corners or in traffic are going. I agree that the D being so weak makes things worse for the forwards but some are still effective.
The ones that only shine when given time and space are killing the team. The team won't get better at keeping the puck in without players that are able to do it game in and out no matter what the opposition does.
They are getting man handled in reg season games if the other team tries at all. Imagine playoffs.
bookje: I will fight you in a barn!
I will fight you with some yarn.
I will fight you like a darn.
I will fight you Sam Gagner I am.
I will fire the GM called Tam.
Sorry, I tried.
Some have suggested it as a possible ballsy move by MacT to trade Yaks this summer, but man that would probably be the dumbest move ever committed by a GM.
From the presser it wouldn't make sense given he's the other skill winger that is feisty and Hall mentioned as similar to himself in style. Won't need a babysitter or someone to do all the work so he can score.
The only thing is the crazy. He's pretty wild and might be a concern reigning him in to team system play.
I agree it would be stupid. He has game breaker written all over him and likely will be ahead of Gagner, Hemsky and Eberle sooner rather than later, which is logical because he was a first and the others not.
Where the hell is LT???
It's madness!!
So, in the presser it was said that Tambo found out yesterday. Do you think he would have enough reason/relationship with Terry Jones to have that info broadcast yesterday ? Or that it would have come from someone in the Oilers organization ?

Which? makes formal "bullying" complaint about Davenport Lyons
Readers' comments (16)
which consumer?
I was interested that Which? is apparently a consumer group. Instead of jumping to the supposed defence of those who allegedly rip off the intellectuall property of others, it should pause to think about consumers like me who pay for this via legitimate purchases.
I trust that the SRA has better things to do than get involved in a spat no doubt inteded to generate publicity for a group that seems to be losing its moral compass in life.
Moral compass?
Moral compass? Get off your high horse. These actions are misguided and prone to error. See all the prosecutions of children, pensioners and the like (...although why pensioners should be presumed to be innocent of downloading gay porn is open to debate.)
The industry's persecution of the very people who should be its customers is a damning indictment of an industry that has completely lost its way in the digital age. What kind of a moron sues his own customers?!
To complain about moral compasses shows that you are just as out of date as the idiots in charge of the big record companies.
Not customers
Clearly those being sued are not customers hence the reason why are being sued - for downloading without payment
RE:Which Consumer
Andrew Keogh i couldn't agree with you more. People who spend their hard earned money on titles such as Army F*ckers have every right to feel let down when people receive a copy for free...
RE: Not Customers
Except for the small point that many of those sent such letters either *are* customers, or haven't downloaded anything illegally. The dead people, pets, etc. who have been sent letters probably aren't great customers, but I don't think it logically follows that they should get sued.
The main problem for the media companies is, in the proportionally few instances these things actually get to court, they quite often lose. Scaring a family into forking over £3000 is a lot easier than proving criminal liability based on generally flimsy evidence.
We don't know enough
I think it is too soon to pass comment on whether or not DL has been "bullying" at all. I have not seen the letter, and so far as I am aware it has not been published. DL's clients must have the right, as with any copyright owner, to protect its intellectual property, irrespective of its content, provided that content is not illegal. It is also perfectly proper for DL to accept those instructions.
If there is evidence that copyright has been breached, DL can demand appropriate payment of royalties by way of settlement rather than go to court.
What are DigiProtect?
As I understand the position, the copyright owners in each case only get a very small proportion of the £500. So essentially the majority is made up of some kind of perverse profit share between DL and DigiProtect... lovely. I am sure that a lot of firms would like to make the most of the potential profits, although clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel quality-wise....
We don't know enough
For those who don't watch the BBC, Watchdog on Monday evening ran this story. They had computer experts examine the hard drives of some of the people that had contested the accusations and it would seem that this proved that the content had not been downloaded.
In at least one of the cases (missed a bit getting dinner) the person was able to prove she was elsewhere and could not have downloaded this rubbish. So in many cases there was no evidence of copyright breaches. And the letters that were shown looked very heavy and threatening to me!
I think that is the point.. the evidence is shaky at best. However, the letters are full-on. Not the sort of letters you would expect from solicitors dealing with the man on the street. How many of these people are realistically going to get legal advice from a lawyer that knows what they are doing with IP. Setting the "royalty" - or "penalty" - at the rate means that a suitable level of profit is realised by DigiProtect.
Bullying is not the only issue
It seems to me that the real issue here is clamping down on the pornographers who make and freely distribute this sort of stuff on the Internet, and the prostitutes they employ to "act" in their films.
Allowing distributors to use lawyers and the courts to obtain payment for such material (particularly if the downloaders inferred that it was legal and free because it was freely available) is just encouraging pornographers.
Paying people to have sex, on film or not, is prostitution (and may involve human trafficking and exploitation). All those profiting from this activity, including the alleged copyright owners, could therefore be argued to be living off the proceeds of prostitution, ie pimping.
Perhaps the solution is to remove copyright protection from pornography. Then the distributors would not be able to profit from carelessly making their material available on the net without proper safeguards - and then cleaning up later with demands from lawyers, so they would police their own operations to get paid at the point of sale. But no doubt someone will tell me that that is too simplistic an analysis.

One Direction: Boy band's wardrobe as visual trend?
Maybe you've seen One Direction on the X Factor or the Today Show — or scrawled in bubble letters across your 9-year-old daughter's notebook. No? Well, with an April appearance scheduled for Saturday Night Live and a new album ready to drop, get ready: The UK boy band might be the next big thing.
But whether their music makes you gag or gush, from a strictly visual perspective, One Direction is a very expertly styled bunch. In this age of embedded advertising, is this just an attempt to get more Burberry and Jack Wills into the tween wardrobe? Maybe. But truth be told, bold hues, varsity jackets, thin suspenders – not to mention the sport coats – now that's a look even a mom (mum?) can love.

Corpse Run 145: Occupy Mushroom Kingdom
Sooooo... unless you haven't been near the internet or a TV in the last few weeks, you may have heard about Occupy Wall Street, where a constantly-growing group of protesters have been marching across New York City, primarily at Wall Street, to raise awareness about how our corporate overlords continue to be the cancer of our society and the cause of all of America's recent financial problems.
I tend to agree, but what do I know? I'm poor.
Mario, on the other hand, seems to have it a lot worse than I do.
The major "calling card" if you will of the protesters is the "I am the 99%" letters, which are messages written onto plain paper that explain citizens' individual struggles, always finishing with "I am the 99%", a demarcation that separates the writer from the 1% of the country that owns an inordinate amount of our wealth.
Visit OccupyWallSt.org for news on the protest, and an alarming amount of photos and videos of cops pepper-spraying everything in sight.
Quick shoutout to reader Colin, who warmed my heart with a message that I don't need to be a part of Kotaku's Sunday Comics; that I'm better off without it. He's right; time for me to move on from that venture.
Anywho... it's customer story time! A guy comes into the store and asks me if we have any "BVRs". I say, "Did you mean DVRs?"
"No, I said BVR, do you have them or not?"
Every once in a while, a customer stumps me. Instead of pretending to know what I'm talking about, I own up and say so. "Forgive my ignorance, but what's a BVR?"
"It's a device that digitally records stuff."
Hmm, I wonder. That totally sounds like a DVR. "Sir, it honestly sounds to me like you're describing a DVR, are you sure that isn't what you mean?"
"YES," said the customer, now getting angry, "I'M LOOKING FOR A BVR!"
"What does the 'B' stand for?" I ask.
"Digital," says the customer.
I really enjoyed reading your comic stuff. It is really hilarious. - JustFab

SPX Corporation Stock Upgraded (SPW)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- SPW's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 8.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly outperformed against the S&P 500 and exceeded that of the Machinery industry average. The net income increased by 38.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $34.30 million to $47.40 million.
- SPX CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SPX CORP reported lower earnings of $2.68 versus $3.85 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.15 versus $2.68).
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 1.00, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Despite the fact that SPW's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.70, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Machinery industry and the overall market, SPX CORP's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

BIRDLAND — Falcons wide receiver Roddy White dropped 41 spots on "NFL Network's The Top 100: Players of 2012" show on Wednesday.
After leading the league with 115 catches after the 2010 season, he was ranked 24th. He caught 100 passes for 1,296 yards and eight touchdowns last season, but also led the league in drops with 15.
White, the controversial Twitter master and Pro Bowl receiver, was fine with being on the list, but believes he was ranked too low.
"I don't have an argument; I'm just happy to be on this list," White said. "But not where I'm at. I'm not happy with where I'm at on the list; I'm happy to be on the list."
White cited his dropped passes, most of which came early in the season, for his plummet in the rankings.
"Probably the dropped passes; I led the league in drops, which is unacceptable," White said. "I have to go out there and I have to play better, I have to hold onto the ball. But other than that, I feel like I performed well, I felt like I did pretty well this season.
"I felt that I should have been at least in the top five [wide receivers]; right now I'm fighting to be in the top 10. I'm kind of confused right now."
White believes that adding Julio Jones last season has helped him tremendously. Jones finished with 54 catches for 959 yards and eight touchdowns while basically playing in 11 games. He missed two games and major parts of three others with hamstring injuries.
"He's done wonders for me," White said. "I get a lot more one-on-one coverages and things like that. And I'm mad that Julio isn't on the list! Unless he's ahead of me, but I'm saying that would be ridiculous [laughing]. I'm not saying that in that form or fashion because he's going to be a great player for years to come and he's very explosive."
The Falcons were 13-3 in 2011 and finished 10-6 last season. The team's three-game slide may have hurt White's ranking.
"The schedule was a little bit harder," White said. "Anytime you win 13 games you play all of the big dogs the following year. That was tough on us but like you said, we have to go out there and win 13, 14 [games], try to go undefeated. Maybe I'll move up the list a little bit."
Falcons running back Michael Turner was ranked 88 in an earlier show. White doesn't believe the show is giving the Falcons the proper amount of respect.
"And he was third in the league in rushing," White said. "How do you be [No. 88] on the countdown and you're third in the league in rushing?"
White was also asked about quarterback Matt Ryan and if he was a top eight quarterback.
"He's got to be one of the top eight quarterbacks," White said. "In this league, in the league that we play in right now, he's got to be at least in the top eight."

If both he and Julio are on this list next year, then Matt Ryan may have at least his first playoff win this season … perhaps a Super Bowl appearance …

We seem to be hearing "Roddy White" & "dropped" in the same sentence a lot these days……..

He knows he has to play better and I expect him to. His confidence is a great attribute.
May 17th, 2012
8:30 am
White's best days are behind him, he's done. He should have just been dropped from the list.
May 17th, 2012
8:34 am
It takes more than players, tp.
Having an offense a little more updated than the "3yds and a cloud of dust" offense would be a good start. That offense will never win in the playoffs.
We will find out if that philosophy was Mularkey's or Smith's soon enough.

He lead the leauge in drops because he lead the leauge in targets.

Roddy will be okay. He and Julio will be the talk of the NFL this year. That is, if Matt can connect with them. It is Matt's accuaracy on long balls that I am concerned more about than whether Roddy or Julio will drop them.
May 17th, 2012
8:47 am
Roddy White is still a descent back up WR.
May 17th, 2012
8:49 am
8:30 You ever think maybe on long pass plays it's: timing, which means OL does their job, receiver runs the route on course ie TIMING, finely the receiver hopefully makes some sort of eye contact at precise moments??? === all adds up to QB & WR are in the same zone together. Granted accuracy plays a part in the completion of the play. However it's a chain reaction that all starts with O-line right out of the shoot!
Go Falcons!

Whats up with Drew Breeze on his contract negotiations ? The Aints trying to slip one over on the Chump?
May 17th, 2012

**Yawning** This is meaningless drivel. Roddy has had the dropsies most of his career. He had one strong year, but like the rest of the team, he's been inconsistent.
May 17th, 2012
9:34 am
At least Roddy sticks up for himself and his teammates. That's more than a lot of the Falcons can say (and more than the entire Hawks team can say).

Roddy is our best offensive player. He led the league in drops…yet he still led us in receptions, and how many times did he save us on third down? I love the guy. He'll prove his doubters wrong.
May 17th, 2012
9:48 am
@redcoat: I'm the original STB4, the authentic STB4, the STB4 with a singular point of view.
@Michael M: The Saints will get to Drew Brees' contract when they get to it, they've been busy setting the foundation for their Super Bowl run. Hold your horses,he'll be the best paid NFL QB in due time.
@True falcan't fan: You are correct, Roddy would be cut if he tried out for the Saints.
May 17th, 2012
9:56 am
Dled, can't really argue with the NFL network on White…if they are looking at the total impact a players has on the game…they got it right…he had some critical drops last season…he kind of started running his mouth too much.
White needs to stay TF off twitter and concentrate on not just being in the top 5 of WRs, but strive to be the number one WR in the league…that all to keep him busy.lol

@True falcan't fan: You are correct, Roddy would be cut if he tried out for the Saints.
No – Nope – Nodda, Never Happen – firstly RW would not even entertain a opportunity to be with the Ain'ts – plus no reason to even keep-up with Ain'ts this season they certainly signed-off their fate – as it's said and done they will only be half the team they were last season & my opinion they might win 6 games this upcoming season. That's too bad – because i like the Coach Sean, #9 and few others. B4 you need to find a team to love this upcoming season, it may as well be the FALCONS!
Go Falcons!
May 17th, 2012
10:07 am
Really? The only surprise is that he's still in the top 100.
It never fails….when you start running your mouth excessively, that becomes your main claim to fame.

10:23 am
Seen, do you even hear yourself? Really man, try harder.
May 17th, 2012
10:31 am
Just shut up and play, Roddy. Stop talking about where you are ranked.
May 17th, 2012
10:42 am
Pay no mind to the senseless Saints*** troll. Roddy White should be the least of a Saints*** fan's worries. How about figuring out if you'll have Brees starting this season. According to Chase…..he's already priming himself.
May 17th, 2012
10:44 am
And DLED as you said….Roddy is the same Roddy win – lose – draw. That's admirable. People say they don't like him talking…..but let the man speak. And besides…..atleast he's productive. He could be a talker and be an Ochocinco. Roddy's that dude and yes he got robbed. Just like Turner Da Burner got Robbed. 88 but you are 3rd in rushing yards. C'MON SON!!!!!!!!
May 17th, 2012
10:56 am
I actually like the posts from STB4 … atleast the Original Recipe STB4. It's the ultimate respect a Saints fan can pay to the Falcons, showing that what is written about our team matters to Saints fans on a daily basis. Keep 'em comin' STB4 … you are hilarious!
May 17th, 2012
11:08 am
Roddy is entertaining in a good-hearted, albeit, goofy sort of way. As soon as he figures out that it's not about him, but his talent, he'll be better off.
May 17th, 2012
11:13 am
If Peyton Manning ranks anywhere in the Top 100, the list is bogus. This crap is based off the team's performance, if anything. Don't believe me. Watch all of the Top 30 players be from playoff teams. The NFL Network needs programming to fill the gap between the draft and training camp. They get on my nerves with some of this crap.
May 17th, 2012
11:16 am
And Roddy White is the least of this team's worries. I'm more concerned with the development of Matt Ryan. Contrary to popular belief, the verdict is still out on this cat. Stats are one thing, but winning in the post season is the true measure of greatness.
May 17th, 2012
11:38 am
Hey Dled where's Matt Ryan on this list?
and isn't Roddy like our #1 receiver of all time? He should be higher, much higher. I mean the guy led the LEAGUE in catches and went like 6 games without a drop two years ago, just because he had a sorta bad year (100 catches and 1,000 yards nothing to scoff at) doesn't mean he should drop 40 spots!! thats crazy!
May 17th, 2012
11:47 am
is next year a contract yea for 'rodney'?….maybe he won't drop as many next year…that is, if they are longer than 8 yds….
May 17th, 2012
11:50 am
Seen…….I ask that because there is a pattern of when you really go off, and it's not good, that you come back claiming it was someone else.
May 17th, 2012
12:09 pm
Dled or anybody.
Please find out how many passes Roddy dropped during the 2010 season when he was ranked 24th. I'm sure the findings will be interesting.

The reason he dropped is because he drops balls. He mouth doesn't help him either. Roddy should let his hands do the talking on the field instead of on his Twitter account. STFU and play, Roddy. Just STFU and play.
May 17th, 2012
2:17 pm
@Statick I guess we should let all our guys continue to be faceless, dull guys huh? Every team needs a guy with a lil charisma every once in a while. Its not like our guy is Freddie Mitchell.lol He can back up a lot of what he says on the field. Sure he had some missed drops. Who cares? Ask Wes Welker. He's a perennial 100 catch guy. I'm sure he has dropped his share.LOL I'm actualyl glad we have a guy who stands out. We're good on the field but honestly pretty bland off of it.
May 17th, 2012
2:29 pm
Charisma? Until they start showing up in playoff games and actually win one instead of lying down and losing, then I could care less how more or less charismatic our guys are. So until Roddy the Twitter King learns how to show up in big games, get open and catch balls that hit him in his hands, my opinion of him stays the same. STFU and play.
May 17th, 2012
3:04 pm
For all those telling Roddy to be quiet and just play how about you be quiet and just watch the game. As you all would say he gets paid to play football and you all pay to WATCH him play. If you don't want him to comment on how he feels then you should follow suit and not comment everytime he does something you don't like.
May 17th, 2012
3:05 pm
I done told U all he aint nuttin but a thug. The worse ting is he drops 2 many balls. Even the phot show him dropping a passs.
May 17th, 2012
3:31 pm
O LEDBETTER: Do you think MATT RYAN is on the list. I think he misses the list this year. your thoughts?
May 17th, 2012

The only Super Bowl run the Saints are planning is to be sure to make the connections to get the best tickets at the end of the Season cause they aint doing nuthin this year ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Timbuktu conjures up images of long camel caravans out on the edge of the sand-strewn Sahara – a remoteness so legendary that the ancient city is still a byword for the end of the earth.
The city might seem the stuff of fable, but the ongoing conflict in Mali has thrust it into the spotlight. French and Malian government forces captured Timbuktu this week from Islamic rebels who burned a library holding priceless manuscripts before fleeing.
So how did Timbuktu come to symbolize the blank spaces of our imagination?
For centuries, it was a trading crossroads between Europe and the Middle East and later as an outpost connecting the West African coast with the continent's largely unexplored (by Europeans, at least) interior.
Even the spelling of the place has added to the mystique. It appeared as "Tenbuch" in the Catalan Atlas (1375) and has since been variously rendered as "Thambet," "Timbuctoo" and "Timbuktoo." In official documents produced by the government of France, Mali's former colonial master, it is often spelled "Tombouctou."
It also pops up frequently in popular culture, on everything from messenger bags to restaurants to a largely panned 1970s TV adaptation of works by author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. It was even a stop on the Underground Railroad in New Jersey.
Timbuktu's location on the cusp of the harsh Sahara is one reason for the enduring fascination, says Robert Launay, an anthropology professor at Northwestern University. The region is called the Sahel, which is Arabic for shore, because the Sahara itself was thought of as a sea.
"Timbuktu is at the northward extension of the Sahel region and also the northernmost part of where the Niger River flows," he says. "It was the port of entry through the desert to North Africa. There was trade up the Niger River to Timbuktu and then a caravan trade across the desert."
But the city was more than just a transshipment point — it was a major center of learning, which Launay says makes news of the destruction of the library at Timbuktu by retreating rebels even more devastating.
"Monuments can be rebuilt, but the library, on the other hand, preserves a wealth of Islamic manuscripts that is really the greatest and most irreplaceable treasure," he says.
Ancient Timbuktu also had two things that the rest of the world wanted: salt and gold.
While rock salt was a valuable commodity for African traders, it was the gold that interested Europeans. And a 14th century Malian king named Mansa Musa gave Arabs and Europeans their first glimpse of just how much gold Timbuktu might have.
Musa passed through Cairo in 1324 en route to Mecca, and his entourage spread around so much gold that it reportedly was used as a currency for years afterward. Timbuktu became known as a sort of El Dorado of the Old World, says Shobana Shankar, a visiting professor of history at Georgetown University.
That impression was fueled by Leo Africanus, a Spanish Moor who traveled widely in northwest Africa with his diplomat uncle and wrote a book based on his travels called Description of Africa.
He arrived in Timbuktu circa 1510 at the height of the city's ascendency. According to Africanus, it was "a splendidly laid out city, a city where Muslims would feel comfortable not only trading but where … immigrants might want to settle."
Launay says became a city of the imagination: "It was in a part of Africa that was remote and inaccessible to the extent that there really was a competition to for who would get there first and live to tell the tale."
The French explorer Rene Caillie won the prize, literally, in 1828. The Paris-based Societe de Geographie offered 10,000 francs to the first non-Muslim to reach Timbuktu and report back. Caillie managed to sneak into the city disguised as a Muslim trader. His rival for the prize, Scotsman Alexander Gordon Laing, reportedly reached Timbuktu two years earlier but was mysteriously murdered at some point during his return.
But the city the Frenchman saw incognito was nothing like the one Africanus described, Shankar says.
Caillie "was rather disappointed," she says. He found poor people living in the streets and otherwise "could not find evidence of the kind of splendor which Leo Africanus had written about."
That report simply added to the mystery, Shankar notes. "People wondered what happened to Timbuktu, and that's a question that many 20th century and 21st century historians have given attention to."
What happened was competition. "Timbuktu stands out in European fascination, but there were lots of dynamic, Islamic African cities in this time period," she says.
By time gold and silver were discovered in the New World, Timbuktu's days as the center of trade were numbered, Launay says.
"So, West African gold ceased to be strategic," he says. "The slave trade diverted Africa trade toward the Atlantic Ocean as opposed to across the desert.
Today, even the salt trade is disappearing. "These days," Launay says, "most West Africans don't depend on rock salt from the Sahara. They get cheap industrial salt the way we get cheap industrial salt."

Juan and His Donkey! Rockin' your commute on KBLZ 105.3! Stay tuned because we've got our producer Timmy The Gimp in nothing but a kilt out in front of a funeral home, and a guy in a turkey costume is gonna blast him with paint balls! It's gonna be off the-
Wait, what? Juan and His Donkey is not a wacky morning show DJ Team? It's an educational short from Coronet, part of the popular "A Boy Of ____" series? Are you sure? I mean, that sounds feasible, but what is it meant to teach exactly? Hm...Cultural differences...I dunno. Seems like it's just going to prove dated and offensive...You're sure we can't just run with the Morning Zoo thing?
Well fine. A Boy of Mexico: Juan and His Donkey is NOT wacky, and there are no interns harassing old ladies. The donkey isn't even painted like a zebra. But this tale of a poor Mexican boy who chops firewood for a living and longs for nothing more than to buy his donkey Pepito a new serape is quite dated and proves quite ripe for riffing. Especially when a rich city slicker runs out of gas and Juan and Pepito stumble across him and ROCK HIS COMMUTE on KBLZ 105- OW! Don't hit, we'll stop!
Mike, Kevin and Bill are not rockin' your commute with traffic on the nines. Leave them alone on the nines.

I'm sorry that you feel like this, but two quick points:

So Where Is It?

I NEVER criticized the "people" who put in the hard work on this product, nor on Kev's individual contribution, nor of the vast community of open-source developers.
Rather, I criticized the activity of hyping a vaporware product.
If it was publicly available for the readers of the article, then please provide a link, which you failed to do despite claiming that it was available on the 29th.
So Where Is It?

Sorry, I read the message as inflammatory if the intention wasn't to criticize I apologize.
For the release - http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=115399537525696&w=2 a simple google search revealed this message (note 27th July). This code is a release candidate, *not* a final release, and it's currently in testing, so 'beware dragons', caveat emptor etc. :)
Hope that this clears up the problem of trying out the code in the article, and deflates the 'hype' somewhat. Thanks.

LivingSocial email screenshot
LivingSocial is in a rough spot, said gossipy investors. (And, it's worth noting here that these people love to talk smack, especially about rival portfolio companies.)
The window for an IPO is about to close. They only have 6-12 months. And when it does file for an S1, the numbers will be so paltry compared to Groupon, it will have a hard time finding excited investors.
Heck, Groupon is having a hard time finding excited investors right now. How is LivingSocial at a much smaller scale going to do better?
Surely there's room for a strong number two, right, we asked? The gossipers just shook their heads. They said LivingSocial will probably have to sell to a media company.
One name that was tossed out: Yahoo. These people had heard that Yahoo might buy LivingSocial as a part of its cash-free split deal with Alibaba and Yahoo Japan.
We didn't reach out to LivingSocial for comment, because we thought they would just say, "no comment," or something like, "This is silly, we're doing very well, showing strong growth across all our lines of business."
And that might be true! We're just passing along what people are gossiping about.
