Beneful blasted in blogosphere
There's the buzz Nestlé Purina gets as the official dog food sponsor of the annual Westminster Kennel Club All Breed Dog Show, and then there's the buzz its brand Beneful is getting on the Internet. Through social media, the blogosphere and other pet-related websites and online news channels, fears about the product have spread virally among pet owners concerned that the diet is killing pets.
A central focus for these concerns has been http://www.consumeraffairs.com/, where pet owners have logged more than 400 comments—mostly complaints—about the dog food, prompting headlines asking if the brand is killing pets. Yet for all the expanding online chatter, there are veterinarians who say that blaming the food—for now—isn't beneficial.
Tony Buffington, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVN, professor at The Ohio State University Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, has read through the Consumer Affairs comments and complaints, which outline clinical signs from vomiting to excessive water consumption to lethargy to diarrhea and even death. But he says the common thread is actually grief."One theme I thought ran through the stories was the intensity of the bond between the writer and the pet," Buffington says. He says he can certainly understand the pain and confusion in their testimony. "Part of grief is blame—trying to find an understanding for the un-understandable in many cases."
Stephen Ettinger, DVM, DACVIM, a well-known small animal internist and cardiologist who also works with a number of animal health companies—including Nestlé Purina—responded to consumer complaints with his own post on http://dvm360.com/. "When a pet is sick, pet owners often look first to the pet's food as the cause. However, it is rare that their food is responsible for the illness," Ettinger wrote.
Buffington, who is not associated with Purina, agrees. "Every animal I've ever seen was eating before they got sick," he says. "The problem is that the vague, nonspecific signs commonly reported could be due to something different in every case, and it would be quite easy to find many dogs with the same signs that were eating something else before they got sick."
In their responses to Ettinger's post, veterinarians appear to be less concerned about Beneful than they are about clients looking to "Dr. Google" instead of consulting with their veterinarians. Their consensus is that although the Internet can be a tremendous resource, it can also be a rabbit-hole of misinformation, as commenter "nydvm" put it. User "jlopez" says this is a growing problem in veterinary medicine, especially when clients begin using online sources to make their own, uninformed decisions on their pets' health. "We must strive to practice evidence-based medicine, and continue to address it by educating the public that veterinarians should be their primary source available to answer any questions or concerns," he writes.

The past two weeks have just gone by in a haze, moving house surely is a bit of a bother, especially with small children in the mix. This artery-clogging decadent chocolate loaf was just something I made out of the ingredients readily available in my store cupboard (read: moving boxes). I didn't want to go down the shop, I just wanted to get on with baking and this made a nice enough cake I reckon.:) I had planned to bake a poppyseed and lemon cake for my first cake in our new home, but then I just felt like fairly quickly whizzing up something for my boys as a mid-week surprise. (Fear not, I still fully intend to bake that poppyseed and lemon cake, but it'll have to wait until...tomorrow!;))
Chocolate & Chili Cake
4 eggs
2dl dark brown sugar + vanilla sugar if desired
200grams butter
200grams dark chocolate
2,5dl plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1 medium red chili, de-seeded and finely chopped
Peanut Butter Glaze
2 generous tablespoons homemade peanut butter (no salt/sugar added)
salt to taste
1tbsp sugar
+assorted nuts for decorating the cake
1. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan and set aside to cool slightly. Add the chopped chili into the chocolate and butter mixture.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy. Keep whisking slowly while pouring in the chocolate/chili/butter sauce in a thin string.
3. Sift the flour and baking powder and gently fold it into the batter.
4. Line a cake tin (I chose to use a bread loaf) with some parchment paper and bake the cake at 175degrees for 45mins or until just set. Test with a skewer/toothpick. (It can be left a little gooey, but it doesn't matter if the cake ends up on the dry side, the cake will moisten somewhat when covered and left at room temperature until the next day.) Personally I like a succulent and moist cake, but each to their own.:)
5. When the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. At this point, unless using ready roasted and salted nuts, start by roasting a selection of nuts in the oven at 175degrees for 15mins until golden and fragrant. Add a pinch of salt if you like.
6. On a medium heat warm up the peanut butter in a small saucepan. Add the sugar and pinch of salt (no salt if using shop bought PB). The amount of milk needed is depending on what consistency you want the glaze. I only had skimmed (non-fat) milk, but I think whole milk would be better (or even cream! Dear me!) for this glaze. I probably poured in about 100ml or so.
7. Once the cake has cooled enough, coat with the glaze and sprinkle it with the toasted salty nuts.
This tastes great straight away when it is still a little warm, but EVEN better the next day once it has moistened up and the gentle heat of the chili nicely breaks through the rich chocolate!

Two-thirds of Americans think private-sector employees work harder than those in government, according to a new survey.
Seven percent of respondents said public-sector employees work harder, while 25 percent were not sure. Respondents also said government workers have more job security and earn higher salaries than their private-sector counterparts.
The poll comes from Rasmussen Reports, a conservative-leaning agency found to be one of the least-accurate pollsters in the country in the run-up to the 2012 election.
It surveyed 1,000 adults on Feb. 3-4, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Softbank Gives Sprint a $20B Shot in the Arm
Oct 15, 2012 2:21 PM PT
Softbank has agreed to pay US$20.1 billion to acquire a 70 percent stake in Sprint Nextel, the companies announced Monday. The deal will be the largest outbound acquisition by a Japan-based company since at least 2000, assuming it goes through.
The move is seen as a way for Softbank to grow overseas as its local market declines, and it could help Sprint, which has seen serious customer erosion, undergo a necessary turnaround.
"We believe the transaction will enable Sprint to be a stronger and more robust competitor in the U.S. market and believe competition will increase because Sprint will become an even stronger competitor than it is today," said Sprint spokesperson Roni M. Singleton.
Softbank did not respond to our request for further details.
Power of Threes
Both Sprint and Softbank are the third-largest carriers in their respective markets -- and this deal could create the world's third-largest mobile phone services provider by revenue. More importantly, it could be the move both companies need to remain relevant, even if there are growing pains to overcome.
"At first glance, the deal appears to offer meaningful potential benefits for Sprint in terms of giving them an opportunity to remain relevant in an evolving 4G wireless market where Verizon and AT&T will have very strong positions," said Jeffrey S. Silva, senior policy director for telecommunications, media and technology at Medley Global Advisors. "Whether Sprint will actually capitalize on the Softbank investment is the key question, and that unknown -- along with other factors -- seems to represent a risk for Softbank.
The merger certainly is something Sprint welcomes as it has fallen to a distant third behind Verizon and AT&T.
"The infusion helps them," said Chris Silva, industry analyst at the Altimeter Group. "It helps them remain as a viable alternative to the big carriers."
However, as T-Mobile looks to be the low-cost carrier, Sprint will have to be careful as how it proceeds, he added.
"This could be a costly gamble for Sprint as it repositions itself, and how the two companies operate is going to be the issue," Chris Silva told the E-Commerce Times. "The Japanese market is very different, and there is a big dichotomy between the two."
Acquisitions and Regulations
At $20 billion this isn't a deal that Softbank is entering into lightly, but the price is actually far lower than the $39 billion that AT&T had offered to buy T-Mobile, a deal that was eventually struck down by regulators. The question here is who in this case who is getting the better deal?
"There are more advantages for Sprint than Softbank, as they are getting a strong investment for their LTE network, which should allow the carrier to compete going forward with Verizon and AT&T," said Dexter Thillien, senior analyst at IHS iSuppli. "Sprint was probably undervalued, however, as AT&T looked to buy T-Mobile for $39 billion."
Given that this isn't one mobile giant in the United States swallowing another -- unlike AT&T's effort to acquire T-Mobile -- this deal should move forward without complications.
"The transaction will be scrutinized mostly with respect to foreign ownership," Jeffrey Silva told the E-Commerce Times, "but I do not regard that it will be an insurmountable obstacle for government clearance."
Instead the deal would likely ensure better competition in the market.
"This doesn't really change the dynamic of the United States market," said Thillien.
Moreover, Softbank and Sprint, along with another potential team-up could ensure that American consumers have options in the mobile space.
"The Softbank-Sprint deal combined with a T-Mobile/MetroPCS tie-up would likely invigorate wireless competition with respect to pricing and service quality," said Jeffrey Silva. "Scale, spectrum and capital are essential ingredients for competition in the 4G wireless space."

Seasick star Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence got seasick shooting 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' in a special effects pool
Jennifer Lawrence got seasick shooting 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay'.
The 23-year-old actress - who plays Katniss Everdeen in the futuristic saga - called an abrupt halt to shooting with co-star Liam Hemsworth in a special effects pool, where she was being hit by simulated strong waves, as the motion made her feel nauseous.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Suddenly shouting that she was going to be sick, Jen ordered the special effects guys to stop rocking the boat."
However, the motion didn't stop in time and the actress threw up on the vessel's deck, much to her embarrassment.
According to the insider, Jennifer - who apologised several times to the crew and her co-star - returned to her dressing room to recover but was able to return and re-shoot the scene shortly afterwards.
Sickness isn't the only thing that has caused problems while Jennifer is filming the movie. Her co-star Josh Hutcherson recently admitted the pair get the giggles during love scenes.
Asked if it's strange to have to seduce his friend, he said: "It is. There are times when we've had to cut because we can't get through a take without laughing."

Holmes places himself at homicide scene but denies shooting
Accused killer Evan J. Holmes, testifying at his murder trial Wednesday in New London Superior Court, placed himself in the Montauk Avenue bedroom where Jorge Rosa was fatally shot two years ago, but implied that another man did the shooting.
Holmes, 22, of New London, suggested through his testimony that Rosa was killed by Zachary Perkins, who impregnated Rosa's girlfriend within weeks of the shooting. Holmes had previously dated the same woman, Gabriela Gonzalez, who was in bed with Rosa when he was killed on Nov. 12, 2011.
Perkins has not been charged in connection with the homicide. He is on the defense's list of potential witnesses but has indicated through his attorney, Peter E. Scillieri, that he would exercise his right to remain silent if called to testify.
Holmes began testifying late in the day, walking to the stand outside the presence of jurors so they would not see or hear his leg irons. He has been incarcerated since he was arrested at an Old Saybrook hotel within hours of Rosa's death. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, felony murder, home invasion, burglary and possession of a pistol by a previously convicted felon and opted for a trial rather than accept a plea offer from the prosecution that involved a lengthy prison sentence.
Speaking softly, and with several of his family members listening in the gallery, Holmes presented his version of that night's events by answering a series of questions posed by his attorney, William T. Koch Jr. Holmes, who had been released from prison on Nov. 3, 2011, after serving 18 months for an unrelated shooting, testified that Gonzalez's sister and friend contacted him in the days before the shooting about seeing Gonzalez, who had broken up with him while he was in prison. He said he declined because he had "moved on."
Consistent with the testimony of other witnesses, Holmes said he went to the New London High School football game the previous night, attended a friend's party and went to an after-hours party at the WildStyle Riders motorcycle club in downtown New London at about 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 12. Holmes said his friend Melvin Simmons drove Holmes' white Ford Crown Victoria because he was too drunk to drive.
Holmes testified that the club was shut down about 4 a.m. "due to an altercation. He said he attempted to stop an argument outside but got jumped and was hurt "pretty bad."
Departing from the stories of other witnesses, Holmes testified that he, Perkins, Simmons and Davion Smith got into his car, and he asked to be taken to the hospital for his injuries. Perkins was high, Holmes said. When they reached 252 Montauk Ave., Holmes said they stopped because he had "been told" that the man who jumped him, Todd "T.O." Silva, wanted to talk with him. Silva was Rosa's roommate in the third-floor apartment.
"I didn't want to go up there," Holmes testified.
But Holmes said he and Smith went up to apartment and that Perkins had gone up to the apartment before them. He said he walked into the bedroom, where everyone was "congregating," and left with Smith after being told Silva was not there. Holmes testified that he had never met Jorge Rosa.
Gonzalez had testified last week that she woke up to see Holmes and Smith standing at the foot of the bed with guns and that Holmes asked Rosa "who he was" before shooting him.
Perkins "eventually" returned to the car, Holmes testified. He said he didn't hear any gunshots. He said he dropped everyone off and called his girlfriend, Shanice Sebastian, and they went to the Days Inn, where he was arrested the next morning. Arriving at the hotel, he said Sebastian gave him a black hooded sweatshirt from the back seat and told him, "Put this on," before he registered for the room.
Sebastian, testifying last week, said that Holmes told her some time after they arrived at the hotel that he had shot somebody.
The jury heard Wednesday morning from DNA examiner Daniel Renstrom of the state forensic laboratory, who testified that Holmes' DNA was found in blood samples collected from the stairway, walls and floor at 252 Montauk Ave. and from the comforter on Rosa's bed. Renstrom also testified that Holmes' DNA was found in a blood swab taken from the left sleeve of the hooded sweatshirt that Rosa's roommate, Silva, was wearing at the after-hours party.
The jury heard Tuesday from a forensic expert that there was gunshot residue on the hooded sweatshirt Holmes was wearing. But his sister, Justina Smith, testified Wednesday that Holmes, who was living with her on Williams Street, was medium-sized and did not own a large black hooded sweatshirt.
Prosecutor Paul J. Narducci began an aggressive cross-examination of Holmes before the trial broke for the day.
"This is the first time you've told anyone this story about Zachary Perkins?" Narducci asked. Holmes said he didn't mention anything about Perkins to police.
Holmes' attorney objected to Narducci's line of questioning, saying it was a violation of his Fifth Amendment rights. The attorneys are expected to argue the issue before the cross-examination resumes today.

Kim Kardashian has a series of fitness DVDs, a sponsorship deal with a supplement company and now she's being featured on the cover of Shape, where the sex symbol is now sharing her tips for keeping fit.
Things aren't a walk in the park for the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star, who revealed she still has jiggly bits.
"I have cellulite, just like almost every other woman on the planet," she told the mag's June 2010 issue. "And just because I feel secure with my body doesn't' mean I think cellulite is cute.
"It will always be an issue for me," Kim continued. "So let's just say it's a work in progress."
Kim revealed that tabloid pictures which had surfaced last year, showing the reality star in less than perfect shape, were upsetting, but helped her turn over a new leaf.
"It did motivate me to finally drop those last 10 pounds," she said.
Kim said she did it by increasing her workouts and changing her diet, going from flavored coffee in the AM to a real breakfast of something like oatmeal.
Kim's busy schedule makes it hard – at times – for a full workout, but she admitted to doing little things to stay in shape.
"Yesterday I was traveling all day to get to this shoot and I only had time for sit-ups and crunches in my hotel room," she said. "But even if that's all I do, I still get a sense of accomplishment, and that keeps me energized all day long."

Rundown, The (US - BD)
Gabe takes a belated look at the Rock's best movie in high definition video...
A 'retrieval expert' named Beck (Dwayne Johnson) needs one last job to break even with his mobster boss and open a restaurant. The last job is scheduled, and Beck's off to Brazil to retrieve his boss' son Travis (Seann William Scott), who fancies himself a treasure hunter. Travis holds important information pertaining to the location of the fabled Gato del Diablo idol, which is also sought by the evil mining town operator Cornelius Hatcher (Christopher Walken), and the local rebels.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is a one of a kind entity in Hollywood as of yet—a pro wrestler with real charm that can really act. Johnson still hasn't found a real breakthrough role (many of his best performances are featured in bad films), the one that lets the critics know exactly what he has in him. Those of us with realistic expectations see more in him than from the previous generation contemporaries (Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, and other terrible ex-wrestlers you still think are good). Assuming he doesn't seek a career in politics, and digs his way out of kid's movies I can honestly see Johnson making his way into an Oscar rumoured role. I don't think he's actually ever going to win an Oscar, or even see a real nomination, but I can imagine some 'buzz'.
The Rundown, or as my British friends call it Welcome to the Jungle, is probably Johnson's best role to date, or at least the one that best plays to his strengths. He plays the major straight man to a world of comic relief, and he plays him with such humility that the character really isn't comparable to any recent action heroes. Johnson is also surrounded with three big personalities, who are stuck in pretty overstated roles. Christopher Walken plays a larger than life villain, Seann William Scott plays an equal time comedic sidekick, and Rosario Dawson plays a super-strong female support that isn't too romantically aimed. It's all very obvious in its intent, but it works for what ails you… or the Rock.
The plot features a lot of borrowed elements, mostly from the buddy cop genre, and a few from Indiana Jones inspired adventure flicks, but The Rundown doesn't feel like a retread. The clichés are embraced in the proper fashion, and the cast and crew is all in on the relative comedy of the situation. There is a seriousness to certain sequences (some of the evil tyrant Walken scenes push the easy going nature), but tonally speaking humour is not far behind any display of action or drama. There's never a point that the audience genuinely suspects that a happy ending isn't in the cards, yet the ride is still entertaining and efficient.
Director and occasional actor Peter Berg has moved on to more serious work like The Kingdom, but I (not having seen Hancock yet) still consider this his best film overall, balancing his strengths just as he balances Johnson's. The action direction is incredibly adept, and encompasses a great deal of styles, including shoot-outs, different brands of fist fight, and some pretty big blow-ups. The only thing missing is an effective car chase, which Berg remedied with a real doozey in The Kingdom.
Peter Berg isn't the most original man in the 'perfectly capable, but not overly interesting' box, but his films all look as good, if not better than the most of the contemporaries. The Rundown features the director's defining visual element—high contrast. The original DVD release already looked pretty great, so long as there was a surplus of daylight on screen, and this hi-def release is still a marked improvement. The blacks are deeper, the colours are more saturated, and the details are razor sharp. The lush greens of the forest are almost monochromatic at points, creating a swath of colour to contrast the cast's appearance, which is generally varying shades of brown. When warm highlights appear they're solid and crisp. The transfer's big advantages over the standard definition release are found in darker scenes, where increased resolution reveals hidden details, and cleans up noisy clumps. 1080p tends to point towards some of the film's budgetary shortcomings, including more obvious sets (the colours don't match), and digital backlots, but is very impressive overall.
This new DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is brimming with activity all throughout the production, intently revelling in the film's larger than life nature. Every impact, vehicle engine, gunshot, and tree branch crackle is doubled in intensity, and all five point one channels interact with effective movement. Highlights include Johnson and Scott's cliff tumble, Johnson's fight with the native rebels, and especially the retrieval of the treasure, which fills the channels with cracking wood and falling boulders. The LFE channel works overtime in all respects, pumping with every punch, throbbing with every explosion, and rumbling with every drum hit. Harry Gregson-Williams' score is predictable, but very well executed. The composure mixes tribal and traditional elements with more typical adventure cues, and a whole lot of really big drums, which echo loudly through the rear channels.
The extras included on this disc are the same that you guys already saw on the DVD release, starting with two commentary tracks, one featuring Johnson and director Berg, the other featuring producers Kevin Misher and Marc Abrahan. The producers' track is pretty dull. Misher and Abrahan explain what's happening on screen as if their audience were semi-literate children. Johnson and Berg have some uncomfortable silences, and make some really dumb jokes, but are personable enough, work well together, and are generally more entertaining.
The deleted and extended scenes are next, which are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen, and pro-logic sound, but are mostly finished products otherwise. There is one scene that actually explains some of what happened off screen, which some may've seen as necessary information, but the majority of the scenes are just dropped jokes and elongated fights. The scenes run about fourteen minutes.
'Rumble in the Jungle' is a semi-fluffy behind the scene look at the film's fight choreography. There's a lot of back patting and the like, but it's still pretty informative, and run just over ten minutes. It's followed by 'The Amazon, Hawaii Style', a five minute look at the Hawaiian locations used for the film, and the adventures the cast and crew had. 'Appetite for Destruction' looks at some of the film's pyrotechnics, minus any interviews, for eight minutes. 'The Rundown Uncensored' is a joke featurette concerning the movies baboons. 'Running Down the Town' takes a quick look at the production design behind the pretend Brazilian town built for the film. Everything is completed with 'Walken's World', a look at the sets Walken had dominion over during the film, and a look at Walken himself.
I would've liked to see the further adventure of Beck the bounty hunter, but I guess The Rundown didn't do very well in American theatres, and the stars and director seem to have moved on to bigger, though not necessarily better things. This is still my favourite Dwayne Johnson, Peter Berg, and Seann William Scott film, and I recommend it relatively highly. The Blu-ray release looks and sounds better than the old DVD, but the extras haven't changed or magically gotten any better.

No love for Ernie Reyes Jr(The lead native rebel)? He was my hero growing up. Anyhow, I agree this is The Rocks best film. An action film that doesn't take itself too seriously is right up his alley.

Ouch. I would love this on Blu-ray but not if Doom and Scorpion King have to come with it. Might keep an eye out for a used copy. Glad you think that this is Peter Berg's best movie. I found this movie surprisingly good, while everything else he has made has been very underwhelming.
Plus, this has the pizza delivery guy from Ninja Turtles 2 in it.

I might be willing to bear owning The Scorpion King and Doom, along with this for the right price. Although they're both much worse, Kelly Hu and Rosamund Pike made for much better eye candy in those films than Rosario Dawson did in The Rundown, IMHO.....

I'm interested in the "long nineteenth century" (c. 1780-1900) because the period faced so many of the same challenges we do today with such optimism and energy. That's one reason its writers, like Austen, Dickens, or Lewis Carroll remain popular. We're also prone to some of the long nineteenth century's vices—materialism, imperialism, sexism—and so can learn from the period's social critics, like Wollstonecraft, Gaskell, Hardy, and Wilde. Finally, nineteenth-century writers were the first mass-entertainers, providing generations of readers with Dr. Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Count Dracula, Black Beauty, and Alice in Wonderland.
In my various courses in Victorian Literature, Women and Literature, or Literature and Law, I want students to explore how and why a culture so close to our own turned to literature not only for entertainment, but social change as well. The questions that I find the most engaging, like this one, call for interdisciplinary responses. I have published on topics concerning gender, religion, law, and history in British culture, including The Reader's Repentance: Women Preachers, Women Writers and Nineteenth-Century Social Discourse (Chicago, 1992) Reading for the Law: Gender Advocacy and British Literary History (Virginia, 2010) and Functions of Victorian Culture at the Present Time (Ohio, 2002). My current book projects are "Making History: a Life of Mary Anne Everett Green" and "Likely Stories: Probabilistic Reasoning in Victorian Narrative."
I am past director of the University Core of Common Studies, past president of the scholarly organization Interdisciplinary Nineteenth Century Studies, and recipient of the inaugural Way-Klingler Award for Interdisciplinary Teaching.

How BYOD is Viewed in the Enterprise
The BYOD craze is sweeping the enterprise. Companies around the globe are warming to the idea of allowing consumer-focused products into the enterprise for the purpose of doing business. And in some cases, the benefits of BYOD have registered with companies that are willing to invest in it.
Although it wasn't always a willing participant, IT has been ushering in the BYOD craze in the enterprise. And employees, happy to know that they've finally won one, are gleefully using their own smartphones, tablets and computers in the office.
In a new study from Samsung, BYOD's impact on the enterprise is illustrated both from the IT side and the employee side. And the study shines light on the many important distinctions that arise in the enterprise over what BYOD means to those on the IT side and those on the business side.

ECS A780GM-A Review
Lately there has been a boom in the processor and motherboard fields, with companies turning out more products tailored for different people's needs. More motherboard chipsets are being processed now than ever before. For the Phenom processor, there are several platforms that you can choose based on your needs. One of those platforms is the 780G chipset. The 780G chipset brings us a lot of refreshed and interesting technologies, including embedded DX10 graphics via the HD3200 chip and Hybrid CrossfireX Technology. Hybrid CrossfireX is a new technology, which works in Windows Vista only, that combines the embedded graphics of the motherboard and either an HD2400 or HD3400 graphics card in the PCI-e X16 slot in a CrossfireX mode, increasing your computing power for games and applications.
One board that has these features at an affordable price is the ECS A780GM-A "Black Series" motherboard. The A780GM-A takes all of the new technologies of today and makes them available in an inexpensive platform that caters to gamers and enthusiasts alike. The A780GM-A has a 780G Northbridge and a SB700 Southbridge and accepts the new Phenom Quad Core AMD processors for a powerful system. How powerful you ask? Well that is what I am here to find out. I will be taking a good look at this board and testing it to see if it stands up to its claim of being made for gamers. So without further ado, let's take a better look at the ECS A780GM-A "Black Series" Motherboard.
Closer Look:
The ECS A780GM-A comes packaged in a standard ECS style box, but not in the standard white and green colors. Instead, to go along with the "Black Series" theme, the box is black with a dragon and tribal pattern. Across the bottom are highlights of the features available on the A780GM-A. Flipping over to the back reveals a picture of what the board looks like, as well as a more in depth list of specifications and features. The sides just have the logo and model number on them.
Opening the box gives you two layers; the top layer holds the accessories and manuals and the bottom layer has the board itself. Included with the ECS A780GM-A "Black Series" motherboard are two SATA cables, one IDE cable, an I/O shield plate, software CD, quick start guide, manual, and an ECS "Black Series" case badge.
Now that we have seen the accessories let's take a closer look at the motherboard itself.

Top of the Charts
Metrics are second nature to you. Spreadsheets are your friends. Charts just roll off your back like water off a duck's back.
We spend an inordinate amount of our time here at ThinkGeek running reports to trying to predict what y'all are going to buy. Heads buried in spreadsheets with PivotTables. 30 day sales rates and products frequently bought together and conversion rates and 20% more statistics than you can shake a stick at. And we paused for a moment one day. There's no love for that kind of geek on our site. There are a lot of folks who spend all day hip-deep in metrics, who enjoy it. It can be exhilarating. Instead of relying on the "we think that worked" crowd, gatherers of data get to point and say, "It's now 2.5% more successful." It helps turn gut-feel and art and intuition into science. And, let's face it. Everything is better with science. And dinosaurs.

Chicago Fire striker Patrick Nyarko will join teammate Dominic Oduro in hoping to make his debut for the Ghanaian national team after being called as a late addition to the Black Stars squad that will take on Chile Wednesday night at PPL Park in Chester, Penn.
The emergency call comes for Nyarko as strikers Emmanuel Baffoe and Richard Mpong had trouble securing visas for the trip and Olympique Marseille's Jordan Ayew pulling out of the squad, leaving head coach Goran Stefanovic with only Oduro up top.
"It's a last minute thing," Nyarko said from the Fire's preseason base in Charleston, S.C. Monday night. "I really wasn't expecting it but it came and its really exciting. Anytime you get called into your national camp it's an amazing feeling. I'm just taking it all in right now and hopefully I can get on the field Wednesday and help my country win against Chile."
The Ghanaian duo were paired up top for the first time in preseason Saturday night, causing most of the dangerous efforts Nyarko earned a fourth minute penalty kick before being subbed off as an injury precaution in the 31st minute, while Oduro hit the cross bar in the 58th minute of a 1-0 loss to D.C. United.
Like Oduro, the domestic friendly match gives Nyarko the chance he's long been waiting for with the national side as the Ghanaian federation has kept tabs on the five-year Fire veteran dating back to 2009.
Recently Nyarko was quoted as saying he'd be interested in a call-up for the United States, though with a bit of time to wait for American citizenship, the speedy forward says he's living in the moment with his international future.
"The chance of playing for the U.S. is something I just said at the time. It was me answering a hypothetical question of 'if the chance presents itself'. Right now the opportunity has come with Ghana and that's all there is to it."
As for the Fire, the team will be definitely be down in numbers for Wednesday night's preseason game. Along with the Ghanaian pair unavailable for selection, the team is also missing goalkeeper Sean Johnson (U.S. U-23), midfielders Marco Pappa (Guatemala) and Victor Pineda (U.S. U-20) and forward Orr Barouch (Israel U-21) to international duty.
With the number of international absences midweek, the team announced Monday it had canceled a previously scheduled reserve match vs. Coastal Carolina University set for Thursday night.
All six players are expected to re-join the side ahead of Saturday's Carolina Challenge Cup finale vs. the Charleston Battery.

State Museum display in lower regions of Arizona Stadium, 1930–35.
By Irene Bald Romano, Ph.D., deputy director, Arizona State Museum
The first anthropology museum in the Southwest, Arizona State Museum (ASM) was originally established in 1893 by the Arizona Territorial Legislature as the Arizona Territorial Museum, 19 years before Arizona became a state.
ASM and the University of Arizona (UA), founded in 1885 as Arizona's land grant university in sparsely populated Tucson, were inextricably bound from the museum's inception—and the museum was set up in UA's one and only building at that time, Old Main. For administrative purposes, it was made part of the university.
The museum's founding mission, as stated in Territorial House Bill 42 introduced by territorial legislator (later governor) George W.P. Hunt, was for the "collection and preservation of the archaeological resources, specimens of the mineral wealth, and the flora and fauna of the Territory." The first focus of the museum, therefore, was consistent with that of a natural history museum. It was when Byron Cummings became director of ASM in 1915 that the mission of the museum turned exclusively to anthropology.
There were a handful of unique museums that were founded in 18th century America, but the last quarter of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries is aptly called the first "Golden Age of Museums" when many museums were founded with lofty goals of bringing culture and education to the rapidly growing populace in American cities. In the same year as the founding of ASM, the Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago to herald the anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World. It was in many ways a watershed moment in the cultural history of America and had a profound influence on museums and museum concepts, giving birth to important museums, including the Field Museum of Natural History and the Art Institute of Chicago.
In Europe, as well as in America, the concept of natural history and archaeology / anthropology museums was already well known by the time of ASM's founding.
The Smithsonian Institution had been established in 1846, following the 1829 bequest of James Smithson to the U.S. government; its first building, the Castle, opened in 1849, and its first collections comprised an eclectic mixture of natural history specimens and works of art. In the 1860s New York's major public institutions, the American Museum of Natural History (1869) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1870), were built on opposite sides of Central Park, delineating their broad collecting interests—natural history / anthropology versus art.
In that same period, the Peabody Museum at Harvard (1866) was founded—one of the oldest museums in America devoted exclusively to anthropology, with strengths in North American archaeology and ethnology. The University of Pennsylvania Museum had its origins in 1887 and became one of the largest university museums in the world devoted to archaeology and anthropology.
Shortly afterwards, ASM became the first anthropology museum to be founded in the Southwest. Today, the Peabody Museum, the Penn Museum, and ASM are the three premier university anthropology museums in America in terms of the scope, size, and importance of their collections.
ASM, however, has the rare distinction of being both a university museum and a state museum—Arizona's official state repository for archaeological collections.

Ore no Imouto - Episode 14 (TRUE ROUTE) Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Ore no Imouto, Episode 14 (TRUE ROUTE).
Thread Guidelines
Looks like the best is still left for the last episode.
Oh well, still plenty more to check out when subs come out tomorrow.
(In this week's round of OP changes, Kirino kicks Kyousuke and he goes flying, and he literally "gives up the ghost" while Manami tries to shove it back in. Also, Kuroneko sitting at Kirino's computer.)
Spoiler for Very Rough Summary:
Next time is the last episode, but according to the title of course, "not".
Edit: I think the main thing I missed in my first viewing but see now was the connection between the reason she's willing to ask for Sena's help, and the way she's behaving with Kyousuke. She doesn't want to lose to Kirino, whether it's in Kirino's remarkable aptitude at everything she does (and so the need to not fail at making the game), or her relationship with Kyousuke (hence why she's even calling him Nii-san now). She surely knew when Kyousuke suggested an eroge that it was sort of in memory of Kirino, but she agreed to go along with it anyway because she's okay with playing the substitute-sister for now if it means staying close to him. But I don't think it's out of pure rivalry to Kirino, but more out of a sort of envy/jealousy of what Kirino has and I think we can safely say some level of feelings for Kyousuke. And, of course, it's no surprise that she has better insight into Kirino's feelings for Kyousuke than either of them have (or will admit to having). I think I understand now the way the story is headed, as this episode fills in a lot of gaps.
subs came out :D yay for another HNNNNNNNNGH Kuroneko moments
Homo-RPG... that killed me. :D
Kuroneko pretty much got a dirty mouth this episode with all the "masturbation" word coming out one after another :heh:
But it couldn't be compared to Akagi homo rpg game with characters basing on the male club members..
More Kuroneko and Kyousuke moments. Too bad Kyousuke didn't really catch onto Kuroneko's confession (no dere dere expression though ..)
I loved Sena's unabashed... enthusiasm for her tastes.
I kind of wonder how much of Kuroneko's flirting with Kyosuke is because of her obsession with one-upping Kirino.
Another excellent episode. This anime has been so damn good ever since Kirino disappeared it feels like I'm watching a totally different show.
The reason I enjoy these episodes so much isn't solely because Kuroneko stole the spotlight, even the dialogues, drama and humor seem better than the in the rest of the series. Are my Kuroneko googles blinding me? The homo-RPG was hilarious, and Kuroneko's speech was superb (first time I've heard anybody say "onani" so much in such a short time :lol :). I had a smile on my face throughout most of the episode.
The best scene was the one taking place in Kyousuke's bedroom. Ruri teased him masterfully, not only through words but through body language too. I would have totally rubbed that foot. Her "Then I'll call you Nii-san when we're alone" was the coup de grace. Oh god.
I usually couldn't care less about pairings war, but if Kyousuke chooses Kirino over Ruri, I'm gonna rage hard.
The whole idea of the project was to build teamwork between Akagi and Kuroneko in making a game together but I can't help but think that having both of their ideas put in a competition where the rest of the club votes which is better would only cause further rifts between an already dysfunctional relationship. It was only sheer coincidence that Kuroneko's game happens to have a lot of bugs in it that only Akagi could fix that managed to make them work together.
Other than that this episode was quite entertaining. I was pissing myself when Akakgi revealed how messed up her game was and it's sweet that Kirino has had such a positive impact on Kuroneko.
Anyway, was that a Tohno Shiki reference at the end?
The icing on the cake is that they end up winning the shitty game award instead. XD
I don't know if it's seiyuu work, but I always find the girls' impression of each other pretty flawless (when Sena does that Kuroneko impression in an attempt to dissuade Ruri from making an eroge). xp/
Again, the new eps show that the lack of Kirino + more Kuroneko + more Sena = more win.
& yup, that was a Tsukihime reference, not doubt.
As said, i trade any girl in the series for a Kuroneko only episode, well Sena was in it too, not that i mind about it. And the title exactly fits the episode well... especially during Kuroneko x Kyousuke scene on Kyousuke's room. Being invited to be next to Kuroneko on the bed.. i could only wish if its me being in the room instead of Kyousuke at that time. I would be a happy guy, to be beside Kuroneko... and to be treated like a slave? I srsly don't mind if its Kuroneko. I would rub and massage that leg of her anytime anyday :p shiawase desu~
The part when Kuroneko said about loving Kyousuke as much as his imouto loves him, i can see how much Kuroneko loves Kyousuke there. And i'm glad Kyousuke was being clueless about it, and for once i praised him for not understanding Kuroneko's reply, when i would usually rage about it on many occasions during previous eps, like when Tamura invited him to sleep on her lap. This way, it would create more beautiful scenes between Kuroneko and Kyousuke in the future, though we are left with 1 more ep to go. Kinda hope that they would extend the series into a 2nd season, to end the whole things between Kyousuke and the girls... that would be perfect for me.
Overall episode was perfect.. i don't see why this episode should be rated any lower than 10. Kuroneko is so delicious in this episode, especially when she was lying on the bed with the school uniform. This feeling might be diff if she wore the usual goth loli outfit... kinda like lessening her charm there. Thats why Kuroneko in school uniform gets 10/10 from me.
Exactly this.
Even better than the previous one, I just hope Kirino does not come back to ruin the show again :heh:
By the way, how are these episodes released? along with DVDs, novels, stand-alone OVA :confused:
EDIT: Nevermind figured it out.
Oh wow I must admit the humor in this episode especially with Akagi's homo fetish and even using the club members as models for the characters in the game was just priceless.
Never have I heard a girl use the word masturbation in a Non-Hentai before in my life. ^_^
I'm nitpicking here, but "Chiba's Fallen Saint" in the last scene is a mistranslation. Even though it has the same writing as Chiba as in Chiba Prefecture, Kuroneko reads it as "Senyou" (volume 4 chapter 3 chatroom scene), meaning "thousand leaves".
Damn, it's like soemone close to me returned again or something. What is this feeling?
Ah, who cares, I'm off watching the episode! :3
A pretty good episode overall. Some great moments like in Kyousuke's room where Kuroneko really stepped things up :). Of course she probably should have put the "I like you" a bit differently since putting it at the same level as Kirino won't really get through to Kyousuke. Though maybe she's still working on building up things between them before she really makes it fully clear to him.
Maybe one of the best parts was where Kyousuke came up with the eroge project and Kuroneko was actually willing to do it if he told her to :D. Of course when he talked about helping out with the h-scenes she blew up :heh:.
Should be good moving towards the last of these episodes.
Kuroneko is such an awesome character. I don't find her cute or whatever like most people, just seems like she'd be awesome to hang out with, I find it hard to believe she has no friends. ;)
Great episode, though I found 13 to be funnier.

"We wanted the community involved with the boat-naming, that's why we created this competition," stated Melissa Morinello, owner/executive planner of Sparkle! Marketing & Events, who is coordinating the competition on behalf Niagara Jet Adventures co-owner Mike Fox. "So we thought it would be good to have children that live within the river region - the future of the community where Niagara Jet Adventures operates - to have the opportunity to name the first of the three ships through this contest."
The Niagara Jet Adventures' boat-naming contest is open from July 13-28. The entry form is found in today's Sentinel, and will also appear in the July 20 and July 27 editions of the Sentinel and online at www.wnypapers.com.
Submissions should be sent to: Sparkle! Marketing & Events, PO Box 386, Lewiston, NY 14092.

If parental consent is not provided on the entry, Niagara Jet Adventures will seek parental consent. Failure to respond with consent within one week of notification to Niagara Jet Adventures by the parent/guardian of a child entrant will result in disqualification of the entry.
"Think up names that pertain to your favorite things about the water, the Niagara region, Western New York and especially the gorge, since the jetboat attraction will be running through there," Morinello said. "The key is to have fun while doing it."
All entries will be reviewed by a prize panel based on conformity to the contest rules, then selected and ranked in order of the top three as finalists. A grand prizewinner will be selected, and the other two finalists will receive runner-up prizes.
Grand prize is an Apple 16 gigabyte iPod Touch, in addition to passes for the child and their family for an upcoming trip on Niagara Jet Boat Adventures, and an invitation to attend the "christening of the boats" event, which is scheduled to take place this fall at the Fox Boyz Marina once the newly built vessel is delivered.

JOLIET, Ill. — NASCAR added Jeff Gordon to the Chase for the Sprint Cup Friday, increasing the number of drivers from 12 to 13 in the 10-race playoff.
NASCAR Chairman Brian France said Friday that the four-time Cup champion was unfairly disadvantaged through a series of events Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. Among those disadvantages was talk of a deal for Front Row Motorsports driver David Gilliland to allow Penske Racing's Joey Logano to pass him on the track to help him earn the final top-10 spot in the Chase.
MORE: Gordon glad to be in Chase | Vickers defends MRW | Are team orders wrong?
"I'm extremely, extremely happy about this," Gordon said after the announcement. "I'm proud to be in it."
Front Row Motorsports and Penske Racing were placed on probation through the remainder of the year for the incident. Michael Waltrip Racing had already been fined $300,000 and had two drivers docked 50 points each for trying to manipulate the finish of the race to get driver Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase.
Gordon will have his points adjusted to 2,000, tying him with five other drivers and putting him 15 points behind leader Matt Kenseth.
"We believe in looking at all of it that there were too many things that altered the event and gave an unfair disadvantage to Jeff and his team, who would have qualified," France said Friday afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway. "I have the authority to (add him). We are going to do that.
"It is an unprecedented and extraordinary thing, but it's also an unprecedented and extraordinary set of circumstances that unfolded in multiple different ways on Saturday night, and we believe this was the right outcome to protect the integrity."
Gordon had finished one point behind Logano for the 10th spot in the standings and an automatic Chase bid. But Logano owned the tiebreaker, so Gordon left Richmond thinking he fell two points short of making the Chase.
"I applaud NASCAR for taking the time for a full review," HMS owner Rick Hendrick said in a statement. "What occurred at Richmond was not of their making, and they've had to wrestle with some very difficult decisions throughout the week. I know everything done by NASCAR has been a sincere effort to be fair and ultimately do what's best for our sport and our fans.
"We're extremely proud to have all four cars in the Chase for the second consecutive season. Jeff and the No. 24 team earned this spot, and we're going to leave everything on the racetrack during these last 10."
Gordon appeared set to make the Chase with one of the 10 automatic bids until MWR's Clint Bowyer spun with seven laps remaining. That set off a series of events in which Logano edged Gordon for 10th in the standings with Truex getting the final wild-card spot — a spot that Truex wouldn't have gotten if Logano didn't make the top 10.
Because of Bowyer's spin and MWR asking Brian Vickers to come down pit road to help Logano earn another spot on the track, NASCAR determined Monday that MWR manipulated the finish of the event and issued penalties that knocked Truex out of the Chase and replaced him with Ryan Newman, who was leading the race and in Chase position when Bowyer spun.
Those factors, plus talk of the deal between the Penske and Front Row teams to help Logano — spurred NASCAR to once again change the Chase field Friday.
"We can't go back and run the event again, but we also are trying to be as fair and equitable as we can with all the teams," France said. "This is an example of that. … It's just the right thing to do more than anything."
Though Front Row and Penske were both placed on probation, France said NASCAR did not believe a deal ever was transacted but only talked about.
"The idea of a bargain … is off limits in our view," France said. "We don't believe that bargain ever happened, and we don't believe anything happened other than the discussions about it."
NASCAR also called a meeting with team owners, drivers and crew chiefs for Saturday to explain what will be acceptable in the future as far as team orders.
"What we're going to make sure (of is) that we have the right rules going forward that are clear so that the integrity of the competitive landscape of the events are not altered in a way or manipulated," France said.

Rape victims in Mexico face hostile officials who actively prevent women from accessing legal abortion services, according to a new report from Human Rights Watch (HRW). The report, The Second Assault: Obstructing Access to Legal Abortion after Rape in Mexico, details the aggressive ways in which state agencies discourage and delay womens abortions. Abortion is criminalized in Mexico except in cases of rape, but many women are not aware of the laws and are lied to about what they must do to access an abortion, according to HRW. Some women are threatened, others are told they can only have an abortion if they arrange for a coffin and hearse for the fetus, and others face interminable delays. As a result of the heavy-handed intimidation tactics, many women risk their lives and health by turning to back-alley abortions. "Pregnant rape victims are essentially assaulted twice," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. "First by the perpetrators who raped them, and then by officials who ignore them, insult them and deny them a legal abortion."
Furthermore, rapes are believed to be widely underreported. While, according to HRW, the government figure is 120,000 rapes per year, HRW estimates that there may be nearly 1 million rapes in Mexico each year. Mexican law offers insufficient protections for victims of rape and incest, as marital rape was tolerated until recently, and incest is understood as consensual, resulting in equal punishments for both parties. Nonconsensual incest is supposed to be prosecuted as rape, but HRW found evidence that prosecutors frequently do not do so, even when victims are obviously underage (the age of consent in most of Mexico is 12). The combination of lax sexual assault laws and government pressure not to abort amounts to a human rights violation, said Roth, adding, "The Mexican government needs to ensure that rape victims do not have to endure dangerous back-alley abortions or imposed pregnancies."

Arguably the number one party school on the east coast. Was originally listed as the number one party school on Playboy's top party school list. However, Playboy felt it was unfair to continuing ranking professionals with amatuers and removed URI from the list permanantly.

The state university for Rhode Island which is well-known for intoxicated students. This often makes normal students angry for being percieved as alcoholics because of their not-so-smart peers. Aside from the illegal use of alcohol/drugs the school is cheap in tuition, with division I sports, a bad football team (where pre-gamers scream "Rhody Rhody Rhody in spite of their inability to speak without slurring), great basketball team, and everything in between
I go to the University of Rhode Island...
Oh yeah?

Public university in Rhode Island, known for its pharmacy program. Essentially a backup school for 80% of Rhode Island high school kids. Filled to the brim with inner-city kids and white guys acting like inner-city kids. Barely manages to keep students on campus because they'd rather go to the beach/their friend's beach shacks and get wasted than risk getting wasted on campus. The "party school" label is something to administration wants to lose, but it'll never be taken away.
A: Man, University of Rhode Island parties suck.
B: Yeah, let's just go to Joey's place by the beach and pound a few.

The Gulf County School Board last week took possession from the city of Port St. Joe of Lamar Faison Fields, including the soccer complex and tennis courts.
The Gulf County School Board last week took possession from the city of Port St. Joe of Lamar Faison Fields, including the soccer complex and tennis courts.
The city and School Board have been discussing the exchange for several months, but there were several issues requiring resolution.
One was receiving an okay from the St. Joe Company, which had donated the land for the recreational complex.
Second, the school district had to ensure that the complex remained available for public use as state parks and recreation grant funds had been used to build the complex.
From the city�s standpoint, deeding over the complex was about cost-savings. The city will save more than $100,000 required annually for upkeep and maintenance to the fields and tennis courts.
The city, and district staff agreed, that the district was better suited to maintain the soccer fields at the Lamar Faison complex as part of its upkeep of other sports fields.
For the school district, it was an opportunity to expand the Port St. Joe Elementary School campus to take more control over parking and also maintenance of land between the school and Lamar Faison Fields.
The School Board effectively owns all land surrounding the complex.
�I�m very excited about it,� said Superintendent of Schools Jim Norton. �This gives us a chance to further beautify our campus on the south end (closest to Madison Avenue) and on the north end is allows us to control and add to the parking.
�This let�s us control more property that is all part of one campus.�
The city and district will share a lawnmower the city has used to maintain the fields. The district takes on no additional insurance liability.
�The community and especially the soccer community should be pleased,� Norton said. �Soccer is part of the now and part of the future.�
Female physical ed teacher in Wewahitchka
At the request of the principal, Wewahitchka Jr./Sr. High School will advertise for a female physical education teacher.
The school has not had a female instructor in several years and Debbie Baxley requested the new hire to ensure safety for girls in the school.
Norton noted that the district hoped to tick off several needs for female coaches � for softball and girls� basketball � with the hire.
Voluntary Pre-K
Deborah Crosby, Director of Special Services, said registration for voluntary pre-K for the coming school year was open on a first-come, first-served basis.
She said the district had 40 slots in the south end of the county; 20 in the north end.
A child must be 4-years-old by Sept. 1 and have proof of Florida residence to register.
For more information contact Crosby at 229-6940.
Lions Club donations
The Lions Club donated $500 to each of the county�s two football programs, with Port St. Joe coach Chuck Gannon and Wewahitchka coach Dennis Kizziah on hand to receive the donations.

Keep It Simple: Single Flower Arrangements
I really enjoy flowers in my home, but sometimes my attempt at being creative with multiple kinds of flowers ends up in what can only be described as a hot mess. Which is why, for the last couple of months, when I buy flowers I buy just one kind of flower and keep my arrangements really simple.
And really simple ends up looking really expensive and luxurious, too. Here are five examples of simple, elegant, and beautiful arrangements.

Peace Bridge battle stirs Canadian threat to fight in court
WASHINGTON – The Canadian ambassador to the United States said Tuesday that New York legislation to disband the Peace Bridge Authority would delay improvements at the span by prompting a court battle that Canada doesn't want – but that it's willing to fight and ready to win.
Asked if Canada was prepared to go to U.S. federal court if New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signs the bill that the State Legislature passed last week, Ambassador Gary A. Doer said: "Canada will protect its sovereignty. And having said that, we prefer a cooperative approach."
Doer insisted that New York State cannot unilaterally tear up the agreement with Canada that created the Peace Bridge Authority, adding: "We believe that if the bill is signed, it's going to be a good day for lawyers and not a good day for Buffalo business. We would rather hire hard hats than lawyers."
Doer's warning about a legal fight ahead highlighted an interview with The Buffalo News in which he offered the most extensive – and critical – comments yet from the Canadian government on the Peace Bridge controversy.
In the interview, Doer also reiterated Canada's support for an experimental plan in which U.S.-bound truck cargo will be pre-inspected on the Fort Erie side of the Peace Bridge. He indicated that the plan was proof of Canada's good intentions to improve the traffic flow on both sides of the border.
"We agreed to the pre-inspection program to decrease congestion. We agreed to that without being threatened," Doer said.
With Cuomo's appointees to the Peace Bridge Authority demanding the removal of the bridge's Canadian general manager, and the Legislature passing a bill that aims to end the authority in about a year, Doer responded to a long-standing News interview request with a blunt and confident message.
"Threatening is not going to work, because we do not feel threatened," he said.
Doer said Canada is gravely concerned, though, that the legislation in Albany would prompt a long legal battle that would be bad for everyone involved.
"The bottom line is, both countries and both provinces and states have the ability to get something done, or they have the ability to gum it up," Doer said. "We think this [legislation] is going to gum it up."
The Peace Bridge Authority approved $50 million in improvements to the American plaza last October, but the authority's Canadian chairman has warned that those improvements could be stalled because of the Albany legislation.
Doer reiterated that point, again and again, in the interview.
"Since the Assembly passed the bill last week, everybody is lawyering up – including in Canada – rather than building across, which is what we want to do," he said. "We believe that lawyering-up is a recipe for slowing it down."
Shown a transcript of Doer's comments, the Cuomo administration responded with a two-sentence statement from former Buffalo Mayor Anthony M. Masiello, a recent Cuomo appointee to the Peace Bridge Authority.
"We know from our past that lawsuits delay action and create hard feelings," Masiello said. "We agree with our Canadian friends that we need to ride above the rift and expedite the plaza for positive progress for both sides of border."
Doer said he did not want to speculate on how long any legal action might delay improvements at the Peace Bridge, but he also noted that the biggest recent delay in work there stemmed from an environmental-impact statement that was in the works in New York State for the better part of a decade before being abandoned last year.
"This tennis ball bounced in the court of the U.S. side on the plaza from 1995 to 2012," he said.
And while Canada – or the Canadian members of the authority board – would be the most likely entities to go to court to challenge the New York law, Doer insisted it was New York, not Canada, that was forcing the issue. "We're not initiating this," he said of the bill passed in Albany last week. "This is not our law. We do not see this as a sensible way to go. We see this as a recipe for increased congestion."
Noting that Cuomo had received a memo from lawyers regarding the legality of the Peace Bridge legislation, which was cited in an article in The News on Sunday, Doer said: "He's talking about lawyers already. He talked about lawyers this weekend. We're responding in kind."
The memo Doer referred to argues that the legislation dissolving the Peace Bridge is legal because a set of 1970 amendments to the Peace Bridge Charter was never approved by Congress. In the view of Cuomo's legal advisers, that means an earlier version of the Peace Bridge Charter – which would have led to the authority's dissolution in the 1990s – is still legally binding.
Asked what he thought of New York's legal argument, Doer indicated there's a larger issue that would come into play in any court battle.
"You don't need a lawyer to understand that the bridge crosses an international border," he said.
Doer said Canada's legal view is that then-New York Attorney General Jacob K. Javits was correct when he said in 1955 that both the U.S. and Canadian governments would have to sign off on any substantive changes in how the Peace Bridge is governed.
He also took issue with the contention, voiced by some in Albany, that the Canadians have not paid proper attention to the American side of the Peace Bridge.
"We actually wanted to have pre-inspection" at the Peace Bridge rather than other border crossings, Doer said. "We chose this site because we wanted to find ways to improve congestion on both sides of the border."
While some have speculated that the spat over the Peace Bridge's future could derail the pre-inspection plan, Doer said that's just not so.
"This flows from an agreement between the president and the prime minister," he said. "That's not in danger. We will proceed with the pre-inspection exercise."
That came as good news to Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo, one of the chief sponsors of the legislation to dissolve the Peace Bridge Authority.
Doer's acknowledgement that pre-inspection will move forward "reduces some of the fear-based decision-making" on the issue, Ryan said.
Otherwise, though, Ryan implicitly criticized much of what Doer had to say. "Everyone keeps saying the law's on their side," Ryan said, but the Canadians "seem deeply concerned about the impact of this law. It's like: 'We don't feel threatened, but, holy cow, we're going to court.' There's a bit of a forked tongue here, but it doesn't get us any closer to a conclusion."
Doer, however, insisted that the debate about the Peace Bridge Authority – and New York's attempt to dissolve it – must be grounded in a simple truth.
"You don't need a lawyer to realize this is a bridge across two countries, not a diving board," the ambassador said. "If it was a diving board, the New York State Legislature would have complete authority. But it's not."

State of Rhode Island
Department of Health
Appropriate decision-making before, during, and immediately after power outages is necessary to protect people from unsafe food and minimize product loss. The food items of concern are moist, perishable foods in and on which bacteria can grow most easily during the time when the food is held in the temperature danger zone (41°F to 135°F). Power outages of more than 2 hours may be hazardous to food. The Department recommends that food retailers develop a plan and obtain appropriate emergency supplies before the need arises.
Take action to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Turn the refrigerator and freezer to the coldest setting. When the power goes out, the time should be noted.
The goal is to keep hot food above 135°F and cold food below 40°F for as long as possible, and to monitor temperature to determine when food is no longer safe to eat.
When in doubt, throw it out. If it is determined that food must be discarded, document the type and amount of food and the reason for disposal for insurance and regulatory purposes. Small volumes of food to be discarded can be denatured with a cleaning product (such as bleach) and placed in the outside refuse bin. To discard large volumes of food, contact your refuse disposal company or your local landfill operator for disposal instructions. If there are any questions regarding the safety of specific foods, contact us.
The following conditions should be verified prior to resuming food preparation and/or sale of potentially hazardous foods:

Willamette University host four policy roundtables each year:
Oregon Poverty Research Roundtable
OPRR is an informal gathering of researchers and practitioners who are interested in issues related to poverty alleviation and welfare reform. The Roundtable meets twice a year, typically in Fall and Spring.
Conservation Markets Roundtable
The roundtables focus on the development of markets for conservation credits (e.g. clean water, wetlands, wildlife habitat and clean air). The researchers and practitioners who are interested in the future of these emerging conservation tools discuss related issues during an informal gathering.
Government Performance Management Roundtable
With the goal of developing this association into a dynamic resource for performance measurement practitioners and users at all levels of government, a work session was held seeking participants who have an interest in working on implementation of goals developed by the OPPMA Steering Committee to foster a collaborative approach for government performance measurement in Oregon.

'Jeff, Who Lives at Home' -- 3 1/2 stars
R; 1:22 running time "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" could be just another quirky, abrasive and unconventional relationship comedy from the Duplass Brothers, the fellows who gave us "The Puffy Chair" and last year's "Cyrus." It starts with the assertion ¿ by Jeff (Jason Segel), the title character ¿ that "everyone and everything is interconnected in this universe." You know, he says, like that life-altering (and daft) M. Night Shyamalan movie "Signs," a film that's become Jeff's obsession. Read the full "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" movie review
