What you have to do is answering questions like if you were in the well-known TV Show. Actually you have almost the same hints: fifty-fifty, phone-a-friend (it would be take a hint) and change question instead of poll the audience.
There are hundreds of questions of different issues, even though the game is in an early development state. Actually, every single player can add questions by simply submitting them. This way, the whole community improves the game.
The idea is great, but the game is too simple and sober regarding options and interface. It needs to be improved, although we really appreciate the submitting questions system.
We encourage mobfish, its developer, to continue enhancing the game, he's doing a great job so far.
If you like challenging yourself with quiz games, no matter how it looks like, give this a go.

Photosynthetically active radiation
Photosynthetically active radiation, often abbreviated PAR, designates the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis. This spectral region corresponds more or less with the range of light visible to the human eye. Photons at shorter wavelengths tend to be so energetic that they can be damaging to cells and tissues, but are mostly filtered out by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Photons at longer wavelengths do not carry enough energy to allow photosynthesis to take place.
Other living organisms, such as cyanobacteria, purple bacteria, and heliobacteria, can exploit solar light in slightly extended spectral regions, such as the near-infrared. These bacteria live in environments such as the bottom of stagnant ponds, sediment and ocean depths. Because of their pigments, they form colorful mats of green, red and purple.
Chlorophyll, the most abundant plant pigment, is most efficient in capturing red and blue light. Accessory pigments such as carotenes and xanthophylls harvest some green light and pass it on to the photosynthetic process, but enough of the green wavelengths are reflected to give leaves their characteristic color. An exception to the predominance of chlorophyll is autumn, when chlorophyll is degraded (because it contains N and Mg) but the accessory pigments are not (because they only contain C, H and O) and remain in the leaf producing red, yellow and orange leaves.
In land plants, leaves absorb mostly red and blue light in the first layer of photosynthetic cells because of Chlorophyll absorbance. Green light, however, penetrates deeper into the leaf interior and can drive photosynthesis more efficiently than red light.[1][2] Because green and yellow wavelengths can transmit through chlorophyll and the entire leaf itself, they play a crucial role in growth beneath the plant canopy.[3]
PAR measurement is used in agriculture, forestry and oceanography. One of the requirements for productive farmland is adequate PAR, so PAR is used to evaluate agricultural investment potential. PAR sensors stationed at various levels of the forest canopy measure the pattern of PAR availability and utilization. Photosynthetic rate and related parameters can be measured non-destructively using a photosynthesis system, and these instruments measure PAR and sometimes control PAR at set intensities. PAR measurements are also used to calculate the euphotic depth in the ocean.
The irradiance of PAR can be measured in energy units (W/m2), which is relevant in energy-balance considerations for photosynthetic organisms.[4]
However, photosynthesis is a quantum process and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis are more dependent on the number of photons than the energy contained in the photons. Therefore, plant biologists often quantify PAR using the number of photons in the 400-700 nm range received by a surface for a specified amount of time, or the Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD).[4] This is normally measured using mol m−2s−1. PPFD used to sometimes be expressed as einstein units, i.e., µE m−2s−1, although this usage is nonstandard and no longer used.[5]
Yield photon flux[edit]
There are two common measures of photosynthetically active radiation: photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) and yield photon flux (YPF). PPF values all photons from 400 to 700 nm equally, while YPF weights photons in the range from 360 to 760 nm based on plant's photosynthetic response.[6]
PAR as described with PPF does not distinguish between different wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm, and assumes that wavelengths outside this range have zero photosynthetic action. If the exact spectrum of the light is known, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) values in μmol/s can be modified by applying different weighting factor to different wavelengths. This results in a quantity called the yield photon flux (YPF).[7] The red curve in the graph shows that photons around 610 nm (orange-red) have the highest amount of photosynthesis per photon. However, because short-wavelength photons carry more energy per photon, the maximum amount of photosynthesis per incident unit of energy is at a longer wavelength, around 650 nm (deep red).
It has been noted that there is considerable misunderstanding over the effect of light quality on plant growth and many manufacturers claim significantly increased plant growth due to light quality (spectral distribution or the ratio of the colors).[8] A widely used estimate of the effect of light quality on photosynthesis comes from the Yield Photon Flux (YPF) curve, which indicates that orange and red photons between 600 and 630 nm can result in 20 to 30% more photosynthesis than blue or cyan photons between 400 and 540 nm.[9]
The YPF curve was developed from short-term measurements made on single leaves in low light. Some longer-term studies with whole plants in higher light indicate that light quality may have a smaller effect on plant growth rate than light quantity.[10]
The conversion between energy-based PAR and photon-based PAR depends on the spectrum of the light source (see Photosynthetic efficiency). The following table shows the conversion factors from watts for black-body spectra that are truncated to the range 400–700 nm. It also shows the luminous efficacy for these light sources and the fraction of a real black-body radiator that is emitted as PAR.
(µmol/J* or µmol s−1W*−1)
(mol day−1 W*−1)
|3000 (warm white)
|5800 (daylight)
|Note: W* and J* indicates PAR watts and PAR joules (400–700 nm).
For example, a light source of 1000 lm at a color temperature of 5800 K would emit approximately 1000/265 = 3.8 W of PAR, which is equivalent to 3.8*4.56 = 17.3 µmol/s. For a black-body light source at 5800 K, such as the sun is approximately, a fraction 0.368 of its total emitted radiation is emitted as PAR. For artificial light sources, that usually do not have a black-body spectrum, these conversion factors are only approximate.
The quantities in the table are calculated as
where is the black-body spectrum according to Planck's law, is the standard luminosity function, represent the wavelength range (400 700 nm) of PAR, and is the Avogadro constant.
Measurement of PAR[edit]
Researchers at Utah State University compared measurements for PPF and YPF using different types of equipment. They measured the PPF and YPF of seven common radiation sources with a spectroradiometer, then compared with measurements from six quantum sensors designed to measure PPF, and three quantum sensors designed to measure YPF.
They found that the PPF and YPF sensors were the least accurate for narrow-band sources (narrow spectrum of light) and most accurate broad-band sources (fuller spectra of light). They found that PPF sensors were significantly more accurate under metal halide, low-pressure sodium and high-pressure sodium lamps than YPF sensors (>9% difference). Both YPF and PPF sensors were very inaccurate (>18% error) when used to measure light from red-light-emitting diodes.[6]

We provide contemporary wedding photography to brides in Northeast Ohio. Our focus is capturing the emotion that defines your wedding day while providing a professional, stress-free experience.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
My favorite wedding photo was the one that Mike (our photographer) captured during the reception of my new husband and my mom dancing. It is a great spur-of-the-moment shot, where my husband is smiling at the camera, and my mom smiling very lovingly at him. It really captured their feelings that day and made them both look great!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
We discussed before the big day how we wanted things to run, when and where we wanted pictures with family and the wedding party taken, and what kind of pictures I like. The photographers from Rentham Creative took time to meet us at the ceremony and reception site to get a prior look at the place. We pointed out spots that we wanted to be highlighted, and also discussed specific shots that we wanted to appear in the portfolio.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
Photographer & an assistant, engagement photos, DVDs of each session, and a wedding portfolio.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Mike (Rentham Creative) listened to what we needed. I am the kind of person who really enjoys a lot of candid shots, and he took so many of them that I loved. The day was truly memorable and now I have evidence of it!

Good Jobs Often Not Matter of Degrees
If there's anything both political parties agree upon, it's that our education system is a mess. It is particularly poor at serving the vast majority of young people who are unlikely either to go to an elite school or get an advanced degree in some promising field, particularly in the sciences and engineering.
Era of the Migrant Moguls
Southern California, once the center of one of the world's most vibrant business communities, has seen its economic leadership become largely rudderless. Business interests have been losing power for decades, as organized labor, ethnic politicians, green activists, intrusive planners, crony developers and local NIMBYs have slowly supplanted the leaders of major corporations and industries, whose postures have become, at best, defensive.
Where Inequality Is Worst In The United States
Perhaps no issue looms over American politics more than worsening inequality and the stunting of the road to upward mobility. However, inequality varies widely across America.
City of Villages
Los Angeles is unique among the big, world-class American cities. Unlike New York, Boston, or Chicago, L.A. lacks a clearly defined core. It is instead a sprawling region made up of numerous poly-ethnic neighborhoods, few exhibiting the style and grace of a Paris arrondissement, Greenwich Village, or southwest London. In the 1920s, the region's huge dispersion was contemptuously described—in a quotation alternately attributed to Dorothy Parker, Aldous Huxley, or H. L. Mencken—as "72 suburbs in search of a city." Los Angeles's lack of urbane charm led William Faulkner to dub it "the plastic asshole of the world." But to those of us who inhabit this expansive and varied place, the lack of conventional urbanity is exactly what makes Los Angeles so interesting.
Taking the Main Street Off-ramp
To some, the $19 billion paid by Facebook for the Silicon Valley start-up What's App represents the ultimate confirmation of the capitalist dream. After all, these riches are going first and foremost to plucky engineers whose goals are simply to make life better for the public. Got a problem with that?
The U.S. Cities Profiting The Most In The Stock Market And Housing Boom
If anything positive can be said for the current tepid economic recovery, it has been very good to those who invest in the stock market or own real estate.
Property owners have been able to reap higher rents and sale prices, and the stock market has soared while the overall economy has registered only modest gains. However, only a precious few have benefited from the bull market on Wall Street.
Bubble Trouble in Silicon Valley
Third-generation venture capitalist Tim Draper believes he has a solution for California's problems that will make the Silicon Valley safe for its wealthy: secession. In a recent interview, Draper suggested that California be divided into six states, including one dominated by the Valley and its urban annex, San Francisco.
Drought Stokes California's Class War
As all the Californians who celebrated the deluge of rain that fell the week before last know, it did not do much to ameliorate the state's deep drought. We are likely to enter our traditionally dry spring, summer and fall in a crisis likely to exacerbate the ever greater estrangement between the state's squabbling regions and classes.
Energy Running Out of California
The recent decision by Occidental Petroleum to move its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles, where it was founded over a half-century ago, confirms the futility and delusion embodied in California's ultragreen energy policies. By embracing solar and wind as preferred sources of generating power, the state promotes an ever-widening gap between its declining middle- and working-class populations and a smaller, self-satisfied group of environmental campaigners and their corporate backers.
Forget What the Pundits Tell You, Coastal Cities are Old News - it's the Sunbelt that's Booming
Ever since the Great Recession ripped through the economies of the Sunbelt, America's coastal pundit class has been giddily predicting its demise. Strangled by high-energy prices, cooked by global warming, rejected by a new generation of urban-centric millennials, this vast southern region was doomed to become, in the words of the Atlantic, where the "American dream" has gone to die. If the doomsayers are right, Americans must be the ultimate masochists. After a brief hiatus, people seem to, once again, be streaming towards the expanse of warm-weather states extending from the southeastern seaboard to Phoenix.
'Lone Eagle' Cities: Where The Most People Work From Home
In an era of high unemployment and limited opportunity, more Americans are taking matters into their own hands and going to work for themselves out of their homes.
Oregon's Sad Focus on 'Happiness'
Oregon is a beautiful place, and, for many of the state's well-heeled residents, including many refugees from equally beautiful but overpriced California, economic growth not only is unimportant but is even a negative. Rather than create opportunity, the real issue, according to Gov. John Kitzhaber, is making sure the state ranks high on "the happiness index." Forget sweating the hard stuff, and cozy up with a hot soy latte.
Post-Nagin, New Orleans Is On Way To Becoming A Model City
Last week's conviction of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on 20 charges of bribery and fraud marks the end of a tumultuous era in the city's history, and perhaps also the beginning of a new era in American urban politics. Perhaps most remarkable was the almost total lack of protest in New Orleans over the downfall of Nagin, who had relied heavily on polarizing racial politics in his last five years in office.
Sustaining Prosperity: A Long Term Vision for the New Orleans Region
This is the executive summary from a new report Sustaining Prosperity: A Long Term Vision for the New Orleans Region, authored by Joel Kotkin for Greater New Orleans, Inc. Download the full report from GNO, Inc. here: gnoinc.org/sustainingprosperity
The recovery of greater New Orleans represents one of the great urban achievements of our era. After decades of slow economic, political and social decline, hurricane Katrina seemed a kind of coup de grâce, smothering the last embers of the region's vitality.
Southern California has Aging Issues
Back in the 1960s, and for well into the 1980s, California stood at the cutting edge of youth culture, the place where trends started and young people clustered. "The California teen, a white, middle-class version of the American dream" raised in a world of "suburbs, cars, and beaches," notes historian Kirse Granat May, literally shaped the national image of youth, from the Beach Boys and Barbie to Gidget.

@BLAUGRANA I like that "Spectre" edition..even if I dislike the idea of it. A nice real-world alternative to the "One Watch" Tudor Black Bay we were all drooling over a couple of months back. But the NATO strap is very contrived, I suppose. Probably change that.
Have you seen any of the other Nomos Zurichs in person? As you're someone who likes a larger watch, I'd be interested in how the standard (40mm) watches wear. I'm guessing large, with those lugs and those big, clean dials. It sounds like a good option for you as a dress watch. If you want to spend precious metal money, take a look at the Piaget Altiplano, too: not much more than a new Omega sports watch if you shop for a good discount or a nearly new.

Suppliers of Apple have reportedly started the early runs for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus production, both believed to include Force Touch.
Citing sources that were unnamed, a report by an international news agency says suppliers started manufacturing the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus smartphones with Force Touch.
Since each model is very similar to the original iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on the outside, the news agency said the suppliers likely would not run into production bottlenecks during early production.
If everything goes as planned, the mass production of these phones should begin in July.
Rumors already are appearing across Internet claiming the new Apple iPhones will have Force Touch, a feature that allows the device to distinguish between a deep press and light tap.
Force Touch is found already on the Apple Watch, where it has become a useful feature to control gestures for a device that has such a small screen.
Apple also has incorporated the Force Touch into its MacBook trackpad so it only makes sense the next lineup of iPhones would receive the new feature.
Earlier this past week, Apple reportedly was negotiating with Zhn Ding Technology as well as Flexium Interconnect, two of its suppliers to start orders for the high-end printed, flexible circuit boards that are need to include the Force Touch inside the smartphone.
However, on the iPhones the Force Touch is to be used slightly differently, according to one Apple business analyst. Apparently, instead of detecting different levels of pressure on the touchscreen, the new Force Touch for the phone will monitor the area in which the finger will touch the screen, which will decide how big that pressure is.
Since these are the first iPhones to have Force Touch, the news agency said the company is making more room for any production delays.
The new iPhones, per a report released earlier in June will be 0.15 mm longer while 0.2 mm thicker than what the current ones are for Apple.
It is thought that this fall the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus would be available.

But those using protein supplements are generally power-users, who
have very clear and defined goals as to what they need,
and what they need to do to get there. The majority of dieters want to see weight loss instantly
and will use every resource initially to lose this weight.
You should however ensure that your foods do not
contain unhealthy fat since this is the major reason as to why very many people are obese.
I hate my life but at least this makes it beealbra.

Given the weather that has been battering Britain for the last week, perhaps it was no surprise that lightning struck twice in London yesterday. Six months after Robin Soderling stunned the sporting world with his victory at the French Open over Rafael Nadal, who had never lost in 31 previous matches at Roland Garros, the Swede beat the Spaniard again in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena.
The fact that Soderling's 6-4, 6-4 victory was no major surprise tells you much about what has happened since their meeting on Parisian clay. Nadal, who took more than two months off after that defeat because of tendinitis in both knees, has not won a title since early May, while Soderling's career has taken off.
Nadal, who can still qualify for the semi-finals despite this defeat, insists that he is currently at the top of his game, pointing out that he has been enjoying the most successful autumn of his career.
While it is true that the Spaniard usually falters at this stage of the season, he still appears a long way short of the form that took him to No 1 in the world rankings last year. He repeatedly denies that he has lost weight – he says that is an illusion caused by the ditching of his trademark sleeveless shirts – but he looks less intimidating physically and his shots seem to lack their former bite.
A powerful man with a booming serve and thumping ground strokes, Soderling took the initiative from the start, racing into a 3-0 lead. Nadal broke back immediately, but at 4-5 put a forehand long on the Swede's first set point. Although Nadal made the first break in the second set, Soderling quickly restored parity and secured victory when he again broke as the Spaniard served at 4-5.
"I played OK, but in the important moments, I didn't have the necessary calm," Nadal said afterwards. "I made a few mistakes. I played shorter in the important moments and that was why he beat me. He's a big player on this surface."
Asked what he felt was lacking in his game, Nadal replied: "I think I must have said this 100 times. The second half of the year was difficult for me and I probably lost a little confidence and calm, but I am working really hard to come back at my best level. I think I'm not far away from my best."
Soderling is making his debut at the year-end finale and his face does not even appear on the posters at the entrance to the O2 Arena. The world No 9 was awarded a place in the field last week when Andy Roddick pulled out with injury.
Until his win over Nadal in Paris Soderling was regarded as a journeymen, though he has always performed well indoors. He reached the French Open final, losing to Roger Federer, and then improved on his previous best performances at Wimbledon and the US Open, reaching the fourth round and quarter-finals respectively. He has reached the last eight or better at his last six tournaments.
"I was hitting the ball well today," Soderling said. "I think that's how I have to play against Rafa to have a chance of beating him. It's tough to keep on playing these long rallies every time, because he's a great fighter and moves really well."
Nikolay Davydenko threatened to produce an upset in the day's second match when he took the first set off Novak Djokovic, but the world No 3 recovered to win 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 after two hours and 46 minutes. Djokovic, who beat Davydenko to win the title in Shanghai last year, has lost only once in the 20 matches he has played since the US Open.

Housing Venture Splits San Francisco Community
A new housing development in a decrepit part of San Francisco splits members of the city's African-American community. Black Christian ministers say the new homes will revitalize a crime-plagued area. But local leaders with the Nation of Islam say the construction is creating a health hazard.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
A massive new housing development in a decrepit part of San Francisco has split members of the city's African-American community. Black Christian ministers say the new homes will revitalize an area long plagued by crime. But local leaders with the Nation of Islam say the construction is creating a health hazard, and they claim the preachers who support it have been bought by the builder.
NPR's Richard Gonzales reports.
RICHARD GONZALES: Out on the southeast edge of San Francisco, Muslim Minister Christopher Muhammad walks across a vacant schoolyard that sits next to the old Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. It's a Superfund cleanup site and one of the most polluted places in California. Now a portion of that area is being cleaned up and redeveloped for condominiums. Muhammad says too many people are focusing on the jobs in that construction and not enough on the plumes of potentially toxic dust that settle on his yard and the neighborhood.
Reverend CHRISTOPHER MUHAMMAD (Nation of Islam, San Francisco): The stuff on that jungle gym, literally on the swings and slides, it's very thick. And the children are doing what children do. So what happens is we now have a health crisis with our children because we don't know what exposure level they've experienced.
GONZALES: Muhammad says since construction began, his students and nearby residents have suffered from chronic headaches, bronchitis, rashes and other illnesses. Muhammad and other community activists took their complaints to the Board of Supervisors, demanding that the construction site be temporarily shut down so that nearby residents could be tested for exposure to asbestos.
Ms. JUANA TEO(ph): My name Juana Teo. I live on the 1700 block of Newcomb Avenue. I come here with a clear message for you all. The Bay View Hunters Point community is suffering. People are sick: nose bleeds, asthma, you name it. If the shipyard construction and redevelopment is safe, then what is the hesitation in proving it?
(Soundbite of applause)
GONZALES: But that's not necessary, says the city's Public Health Director Mitch Katz.
Dr. MITCH KATZ (Public Health Director, San Francisco): Our overall professional judgment based on all of the information is that there is no health risk posed by the development of parcel A.
GONZALES: And that's welcome news to a competing group of residents in the Bay View Hunters Point, who say the condo project and the jobs it provides are critical to the neighborhood's economic development.
Janice Brenner(ph) is a mother who's raised four children in the neighborhood.
Ms. JANICE BRENNER: We all can agree that there is health issue in the Bay View Hunters Point, but that didn't just start yesterday. So why are we, all of a sudden, trying to do something about it now that's going to stop the effect of jobs and homes being created for the people that's there? And to be honest with you, I'm more concerned about one of my kids walking through Hunters Point getting shot than I am concerned about them getting sick or getting asthma or cancer.
(Soundbite of applause)
GONZALES: Leading the charge to keep the building project open is the head of the local NAACP, Reverend Amos Brown. Like other black Christian ministers, Brown says jobs are key to keeping his flock in San Francisco. He also says when Health Department investigators went to the neighborhood to verify health complaints, they were intimidated.
Reverend AMOS BROWN (Representative, National Board of the NAACP): And I'm sad to say that you have members, some members of the Nation of Islam, who were following behind those health officials and telling the neighbors, don't you talk to them because you can't trust them. And this thing of sowing mistrust, it is wrong.
GONZALES: Nation of Islam Minister Christopher Muhammad denies that charge and he insists that some black community leaders have been compromised by the Lennar Corporation, the company building condominiums in the old shipyard.
Mr. MUHAMMAD: And now you have leaders in the community who have been purchased by Lennar. Lennar has an MO. They finance leaders and all of this is done to buy silence.
GONZALES: As for the Lennar Corporation, a spokesman insists that the company complies with all government air quality regulations. And the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to allow Lennar to keep operating. Still, this dispute raises questions about who really speaks for San Francisco's rapidly diminishing black population and whether any kind of development will help staunch black flight from the city.

Unlike many states, Nevada has no statutory prohibition on indemnification agreements within the construction context. This has been an issue of significant concern every legislative session since 1995, with 2013 being no exception. See AB367, 77th Legislative Session (2013).[1] In general, Nevada courts will enforce any type of indemnification provision, so long as it is specifically drafted in a manner to convey plainly the intent of the parties and the limit, if any, of the indemnitor's responsibilities. Divisions within the Nevada Construction Industry have so far thwarted nearly every attempt at reform.
As a result, most recent changes in Nevada's indemnity law have come from the Nevada Supreme Court, usually in the context of residential construction defect litigation. It appears the Nevada Supreme Court is reacting with some concern to the situation where a subcontractor who is otherwise without liability for actual performed defective work is nevertheless assessed portions of the developer's costs of defense and damages. The Court has recently exacted a more stringent and specific language obligation on the indemnified party, and has emphasized the need for an indemnitor to have notice of its obligation at the time of agreement. In 2010, the Court disallowed third party indemnification for an actor's sole negligence by general, "catch-all" type language, and required instead "an express or explicit reference to the indemnitee's own negligence" in the indemnity provision. Brown v. Star Ins. Co., 237 P.3d 92, 97 (Nev. 2010). This express language requirement was extended to type 2 indemnification provisions (which requires full indemnification even though the indemnitee had contributory negligence liability with the indemnitor) in 2011 in the case of Rayburn Lawn & Landscape v. Plaster Dev. Co., Inc., 255 P.3d 268 (Nev. 2011). Still further, the Court refused to allow any indemnification by a landowner against its consultant arising out of claims against a landowner under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), even though the ADA consultant was specifically hired to ensure the landowner's ADA compliance. The Court held that federal law had completely preempted state law in the ADA context. See Rolf Jensen & Assc., Inc. v. Dist. Ct., 128 Nev.Adv.Op. 42 (2012).
This focus on express and explicit language has also found its way into the concept of the obligation of Defense, separate and apart from Indemnity obligations. In United Rentals Highway Tech., Inc. v. Wells Cargo, Inc., 128 Nev.Adv.Op. 59 (2012), the Nevada Supreme Court held that the obligation language to indemnify and defend an indemnitee from damage claims "to the extent caused" by the indemnitor, including the obligation of naming the indemnitee an additional insured on the indemnitor's insurance policy, was insufficient to impose an obligation of either indemnity or defense absent a showing that the indemnitor was a proximate cause of the injury. The clause was strictly construed. The Court noted that "accordingly, unless specifically otherwise stated in the indemnify clause, an indemnitor's duty to defend … is limited to those claims directly attributed to the indemnitor's scope of work and does not include defending against claims arising from the indemnitee's own negligence." United, Id., at 16. The Court held that the indemnitee was not entitled to indemnity and was not entitled to be covered by the insurance coverage under the indemnitor's policy, even though the indemnitee was named an additional insured.
It remains a divisive issue in Nevada's construction industry that indemnity and defense clauses are broadly enforceable, and will continue to impair the ability to pass substantive legislative issues until resolved. It's time for the industry to collectively address indemnification and defense obligations among its members, so that a compromise solution can be found.

SUNSHINE State or sick state? Queensland is leading the field when it comes to chucking sickies.
In spite of increased competition for jobs, we're ignoring warnings that bosses will no longer tolerate unwarranted absenteeism.
Across all industries, Queensland workers will rack up more days off this year than anywhere else in the nation, outside of Canberra.
Queenslanders take an average 11 days off a year, compared with almost nine days nationally, according to a 2012 absenteeism survey by Direct Health Solutions.
DHS chief Paul Dundon said there was a higher tolerance for sick leave in Queensland and it was managed less tightly by businesses.
"With that high tolerance, employees were responding to that by perhaps taking more non-genuine sickies because they can get away with it," he said.
But frustrated bosses have put workers on notice ahead of a traditional peak day for calling in sick: Melbourne Cup Day.
Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry advocacy manager Nick Behrens warned those planning to play hooky to think twice if they wanted to stay employed in a tightening jobs market.
"Queensland now has the highest unemployment rate in Australia and if an employee is misusing their sick leave, they are really taking a risk," Mr Behrens said.
"Everyone is under closer scrutiny at the moment. There are a lot of good people out there at the moment who are in between jobs and who will be inclined to ... come onboard."
A survey this year by workforce manager Kronos found one fifth of Australian workers surveyed admitted to calling in sick to watch sport.
Mr Behrens said up to 25 per cent of sick leave was not legitimate - costing the state $1.5 billion a year.
He said bosses were not suggesting staff go to work when genuinely ill and conceded stress was playing a role in high sick leave rates.
The DHS survey showed workers were expected to take more than 100 million sick days this year.
While overall sick days have recently fallen 7 per cent, days off for mental health and stress rose 36 per cent across the nation last year.
And according to the latest data, Queensland's public service cost taxpayers almost $1 billion in sickies during the 2011-12 financial year.
Queensland public servants took slightly more than seven sick days, on average, in the 12-month period - a little more than the previous year, State Government figures show.
The absentee data takes in a period of increasing belt-tightening and the dawning of public sector job cuts under the Newman Government.
Sick days varied wildly from one department to the next in the nine months preceding the March state election, a breakdown of the data reveals.
Overall, every state has seen a drop in sick days so far in this year's survey, apart from the ACT, which had the highest rate at more than 13 days a year.

Miguel Migs
San Francisco has long been the bastion of slinky, soulful house music, and homegrown hero Miguel Migs is one of its biggest proponents. With a strong background in songwriting and performing, the Santa Cruz-born DJ fell into the NorCal dance community in the late Nineties, after a stint as a guitarist in a local dub band. Producing cuts in his apartment and trading wax with San Francisco's top selectors, Migs quickly made a splash in the OM Records-sponsored SCUBA monthlies, rocking underground clubs, warehouses, and boat parties with his undeniably sexy mixes. And it doesn't get sexier than Naked Music, the SF label with which he's most closely associated. His singles and artist albums on Naked which effortlessly blend elements of dub, funk, salsa, and rock with deep house beats are what vaulted him onto the international stage. It's a place he occupies gladly, exporting to the world the relentlessly upbeat, funky San Francisco sound he helped create. If you can't make it out to watch him live, pick up his just-released Get Salted mix CD. Segueing smoothly from bouncy electro to organic downtempo, it's the next best thing to being there.

App.net has been around for a while, but this week they unveiled a free tier of invite-only accounts, and they've extended 2,000 to Lifehacker readers who want to sign up. Advertisement App.net isn't new: It earned a lot of attention when it launched, but until now it's been a completely paid service. That's because App.net's "product" isn't its users—instead, the service's paid accounts and paid API access keep it running. It has a bit of a reputation for being an open, developer-friendly social network, and that's largely because the network was built on the premise that you own your own social data—that means all of your friends, connected applications and services, and updates are totally yours. That also goes for the developers who want to build apps and services on top of it (and pay to do so). For those of us who aren't developers, App.net has the potential to be a universal, personally-owned key that can be used to connect to services that support it.To get one of the new free accounts, you have to be invited by a current user on a paid plan. Free users have a few limitations: they can follow a maximum of 40 users, and they get 500MB of on-site storage. Paid users ($36/yr) get 10GB of storage, the power to invite friends to free accounts, and no limit on the number of people they can follow. If you're a developer who wants to leverage App.net's API, $100/yr gets you all the member features, API access, 2 discounted paid accounts to give away, and access to the service's developer program.

The fanzine seller outside Elland Road was in no doubt that, for once, Ken Bates had got it right. His publication, The Square Ball, was carrying a piece titled: "Why it has to be Neil Warnock", a conclusion Bates had reached just a couple of hours before when confirmation of Warnock's appointment as Leeds United manager came through.
Warnock, who had met Bates in Monaco on Friday and shaken hands on a contract until the end of the 2012-13 season, was greeted by the supporters here, though there was no high-profile presentation of a manager grudgingly admired for his achievements at three other Yorkshire clubs; just an introduction over the Tannoy as he took his seat.
The contest that unfolded showed just why Warnock could not reject Bates's overtures; he saw Elland Road come to life as Leeds overturned a two-goal deficit to win against the Championship's bottom club through a Luciano Becchio goal in the ninth minute of injury time. The result lifted Leeds one place to 10th in the Championship, within three points of a play-off spot.
"The attraction is the situation they're in, a massive club with great fans," said the 63-year-old Warnock. "I enjoyed the support of the QPR fans but having 25,000 to 30,000 behind you is brilliant. I spoke to Wolves on Thursday and then to Ken in Monte Carlo on Friday. It was all a bit rushed and I hadn't planned to finalise anything but it all seemed to fit. I didn't want to stay out of football any longer.
"I think today showed how far we have to go. We are a long way from being a top side but the lads have spirit and showed it."
Warnock's goal in his 13th managerial post will be the eighth promotion of his career. "He has a proven record, knows what it takes, and he gets value for money out of players," said Bates, who tried to lure Warnock to Chelsea after he had taken Notts County into the top flight in 1991.
Bates had decided on Warnock after Leeds suffered defeats by Brighton and Coventry under caretaker manager Neil Redfearn. The academy coach seemed destined to end his temporary tenure with a third loss when Don-caster took a two-goal lead, and he gave credit to Warnock for the part he played in inspiring their second-half fightback. "He's had a big input today, he came in and addressed the lads before," Redfearn said. "He came in at half-time and made one or two points. He's an experienced guy and the information he gave has helped."
As the former Leeds player and manager Eddie Gray noted beforehand, Warnock's first task will be to sort out Leeds' defensive frailties, which were apparent once again. Doncaster might have begun the match with 10 men – Pascal Chimbonda having been ordered by Keith Stroud to remove his earring back in the dressing room – but by the 54th minute the division's lowest scorers before kick-off had scored twice.
Mamadou Bagayoko got the two goals, the Mali forward's first in English football since his January arrival. The first came after 32 minutes, soon after he had replaced the injured Habib Bam-ogo, Bagayoko rolling the loose ball home after Andy Lonergan saved at the feet of James Hayter. El-Hadji Diouf's through-ball was the catalyst for that goal, and in the 54th minute he turned a Tommy Spurr ball across goal for Bagayoko to score his second.
If that was the good of Diouf's contribution, the bad and the ugly followed after the final whistle when he and Ross McCormack exchanged words. As he entered the tunnel, the Leeds defender Alex Bruce raced after him and the plastic walls of the tunnel began shaking. More than a dozen police officers were soon rushing to the tunnel, though Redfearn did not comment and Dean Saunders, Doncaster's manager, did not attend the post-match press conference.
All that followed Leeds' revival. Thrown a lifeline by on-loan Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend's first Leeds goal 60 seconds after they had fallen two behind, they had a let-off when Lonergan denied Bagayoko from close range before drawing level through a first-time Adam Clayton volley from Robert Snodgrass's left wing-cross.
Injuries to Spurr and Ronnie Rogers meant there were 10 minutes of added time, and in the ninth minute Becchio sealed the comeback, curling a shot past David Button after his initial effort had come off a defender. The Warnock era is up and running.
Leeds (4-2-3-1): Lonergan; Bruce, Lees, O'Dea, White; Snodgrass, Clayton, Pugh (Brown, 60), Townsend (Rogers 79, replaced by Forssell 90); Becchio, McCormack.
Doncaster (4-4-2): Button; Chimbonda, Hird, Lockwood, Spurr (O'Connor, 90); Barnes, Stock, Gillett; Diouf, Hayter (Robert 89); Bamogo (Bagayoko, 25).
Referee Keith Stroud.
Man of the match McCormack (Leeds).
Match rating 8/10.
Allen sacked by County
Notts County sacked manager Martin Allen after yesterday's 3-0 defeat at Hartlepool. County made the move despite the defeat being their first in five League One games. A statement on the club's website said: "Notts County wish to announce that Martin Allen has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect."
