Carey Price named Canada's quarterfinal starter
Image: 1 of 10
It has now become the Olympic enigma: why can't Canada find anybody to play with captain Sidney Crosby? It was a question that was not really answered four years ago, something obscured by the fuzzy, warm memory of Crosby scoring the golden goal in Vancouver. This time around the wheel spins again. Jeff Carter, Martin St. Louis, Patrice Bergeron, Jamie Benn, Chris Kunitz, they've all had a shot with him so far and while there have been chances, there are no results to show for it. Crosby has two assists, one on a goal by Carter and the other on defenceman Drew Doughty's power-play goal through three games. It hasn't even worked with Kunitz, Crosby's linemate with the Pittsburgh Penguins. It wouldn't come as a surprise if Kunitz were a scratch. Tampa Bay Lightning scorer Steven Stamkos, Canada's top natural scorer sidelined by a broken leg, was supposed to be a potential linemate for Crosby here. Now you wonder if even that would have worked out.

Canada's going with Carey Price.
Mike Babcock, coach of the men's Olympic hockey team, told reporters the goalie from Anahim Lake, B.C. will be back in net for the team's quarterfinal game Thursday against the winner of Latvia-Switzerland.
Price played in Canada's opening game, a 3-1 win over Norway, and again in its final round-robin game, a 2-1 overtime win over Finland.
Roberto Luongo, clearly now the official backup, played one game, a 6-0 win over Austria.
As Price takes over the crease for Canada, it marks a likely shift in national goalie supremacy. Martin Brodeur was No. 1 for the 2002 and 2006 Games, while Luongo filled the role in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
Will we see Luongo in net again?

NICE Public Health Guidance - Occupational Therapy and Physical Activity Interventions to Promote the Mental Wellbeing of Older People in Primary Care and Residential Care
This guidance is for all those involved in promoting older people's mental wellbeing. It focuses on practical support for everyday activities, based on occupational therapy principles and methods. This includes working with older people and their carers to agree what kind of support they need. It replaces the guidance 'mental wellbeing and older people'
NICE recommendations include the following:
- Offer regular sessions that encourage older people to construct daily routines to help maintain or improve their mental wellbeing. The sessions should also increase their knowledge of a range of issues, from nutrition and how to stay active to personal care.
- Offer tailored, community-based physical activity programmes. These should include moderate-intensity activities (such as swimming, walking, dancing), strength and resistance training, and toning and stretching exercises.
- Advise older people and their carers how to exercise safely for 30 minutes a day on 5 or more days a week, using examples of everyday activities such as shopping, housework and gardening. (The 30 minutes can be broken down into 10-minute bursts.)
- Promote regular participation in local walking schemes as a way of improving mental wellbeing. Help and support older people to participate fully in these schemes, taking into account their health, mobility and personal preferences.
- Involve occupational therapists in the design of training offered to practitioners.

Feel that calm in the air? Has your computer quit smoking from your RSS reader going nuts? That can only mean one thing during CES week: The show has actually started! The first day of CES is nothing like "Day 0." Day 0 is when all the press events happen, when all the big products are announced and when blogs go crazy and publish something like 30 stories on one operating system. (Yes, we actually did). Of course just because today was slower, it doesn't mean we didn't see some great new products or hear any interesting industry news. Here's the best of the best from CES day 1.
Hands-on videos
Once the big companies are done announcing their products, bloggers finally get a chance to take a look at the devices and share their first impressions. Today, Edgar got a look at two upcoming Tegra 3 tablets, while Nick took a tour of the AT&T Galaxy Note.
The first tablet Edger looked at was the Acer Iconia A510. He said that while the 10-inch slab feels physically similar to the A500, the Tegra 3 "offers a notable performance boost."
After the A510, Edgar got his hands on 7-inch ZTE tablet, which was very similar to the $249 ASUS MeMo we saw detailed yesterday. The 7-inch ZTE also comes with Tegra 3 and Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich, so it's really going to come down to price as far as how this tablet sells. To take a look at Edgar's hands-on video with ZTE's 7-inch Tegra 3 tablet, check out his post on it.
Edgar wasn't the only member of team Android and Me playing around with newly announced devices. Nick spent a couple minutes learning the ins and outs of an AT&T LTE enabled Samsung Galaxy Note. You can check out his video below, but be sure to read the post paired with it for some gorgeous pictures of the device.
One company who did have a keynote scheduled for today was Intel. We knew Intel was going to come to CES with a reference device or two, maybe even a production model, but they dropped a bombshell when they announced a multi-year mobile partnership with Motorola.
That's right. Thanks to a partnership formed between Intel and Motorola, Atom powered Android phones and tablets manufactured by the big M will be available as soon as this summer. Of course no products were announced, or even hinted at for that matter, but if Motorola Atom phones really are only 5-6 months away, we should be seeing some leaks real soon.
Until then, we can always gauge the performance of Intel's 1.6GHz Atom Z2460 in the Lenovo K800 come Q2. Sometime in the second quarter, the Lenovo K800 will launch with an Intel Atom and 4.5-inch 720p display. It's unlikely the K800 will ever touch down in the US, but that doesn't mean that, once it does launch in China, we won't hear all about it.
Intel also had a reference handset on display today that featured a 1.6GHz Atom and Gingerbread. We'll let you know if we can get our hands on it.
Google TV
One product still going strong today was Google TV.
While Dot TV announced it was bringing multiplayer gaming to Sony Google TVs (you can use your Android handset as a controller!), and LG announced Gaikai cloud game streaming would be coming to their CINEMA 3D Google TV, Vizio detailed two Google TV sets and two set-top boxes.
Both Google TVs from Vizio feature 65-inch displays and a custom build of Honeycomb with Vizio's VIA Plus UI. One features better back lighting and will be a little more expensive. But if Vizio keeps up with its current pricing structures, they should still be more affordable than other similar spec'd sets on the market.
Vizio took that same approach — one high and one lower-end model, to their Google TV set-top boxes. One features a Blu-ray player, while one does not. Look for all Vizio's Google TV products to be made available soon.
Taylor talks with NVIDIA
Last year at CES, Android and Me debuted a series of videos that we titled Android Insiders. This year, the tradition continues as Taylor got a chance to chat it up with NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
So just what did Taylor and Jen-Hsun talk about? The success of Tegra 2, the future of Tegra 3, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jen-Hsun's favorite Android device and more. It may just be our most shining moment of CES 2012 so far.
To watch the fifteen minute video, check out the Android Insiders post.
Everything else
That's all for today's CES roundup, but be sure to keep checking back with us tomorrow and keep it locked to our custom CES channel for all the best news, press releases and hands-on coverage CES has to offer.

Suki Webster: Body-Part Double
Note: This review is from 2014
This bizarre show is a confusing mess of half-formed ideas that never seems entirely certain what it's trying to be.
At the start of the show Comedy Store improviser Suki Webster explains the concept: when she's in the chair stage left, she's herself, when she's stage right she's Roxanne Black, the name she uses in Hollywood as a body part double.
Fair enough, but she never leaves the 'Suki' chair. So this is her, as herself, right? Then why's she wearing a ridiculous curly wig and outrageous fluorescent, kaleidoscopically patterned hipsters? Surely this is a character? This is a sloppy set-up for any show, let alone one with a director who's supposed to notice these things. What's even more surprising is when that director is someone with the stature and talent of Paul Merton.
Webster goes on to tell us how her elegant hands have appeared in adverts for everything from washing powder to Benecol, and how that landed her work in Hollywood, encompassing some mildly amusing anecdotes from the edges of showbusiness.
Her fingers were in the Yellow Pages adverts, she provided Kate Winslet's hands in the shagging scene from Titanic and Carrie-Anne Moss's in the phone booth scene from The Matrix. When a genuinely interested punter asks why, she explains that Moss is missing part of one finger and cannot do close-ups. We're impressed at this snippet of showbusiness trivia.
But suspicion slowly falls on the veracity of her stories. Some are obvious flights of fancy, but by the midpoint it's certain that most, if not all, of the preceding tales have been a pack of lies, even those that were convincingly presented as genuine insights. The duplicity wouldn't matter one jot had the stories been in the least funny, but they just seem so pointless once you know the truth.
In fact, almost all the comedy of the show came from Andre Vincent, tonight's guest interviewer chosen from an ever-changing list of improvisers, whose bold, filthy cheek provided some quick badinage with a small child inappropriately seated in the front row.
But it's more than slightly worrying to know that Suki Webster's show would be a lot funnier without Suki Webster in it.
She does better in the improv routines, as you might expect, even though they are of the standard 'sketch in various film and theatre styles' variety that don't really stretch the talents. I know this is a collaborative game, but still it seems that Vincent was coming up with all the good lines.
To further prop up this weak hotch-potch of an hour, we get bad ventriloquism, tap-dancing and balloon modelling (as part of a skit about a magic show with only an assistant, no magician) which all smacks of desperation to throw anything vaguely entertaining into the mix in an attempt to find something that might possibly work. The bottom line is that very little of it does.

There are so many things in my life that define me; Bipolar is not one of them! There is a huge stigma that society attaches to mental illness. For someone to feel ashamed of an illness they have due to society's misconceptions is in no way acceptable.

Type.InvokeMember Method (String, BindingFlags, Binder, Object, Object[])
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Invokes the specified member, using the specified binding constraints and matching the specified argument list.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public object InvokeMember( string name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, object target, object[] args )
- name
The string containing the name of the constructor, method, property, or field member to invoke.
An empty string ("") to invoke the default member.
For IDispatch members, a string representing the DispID, for example "[DispID=3]".
- invokeAttr
A bitmask comprised of one or more BindingFlags that specify how the search is conducted. The access can be one of the BindingFlags such as Public, NonPublic, Private, InvokeMethod, GetField, and so on. The type of lookup need not be specified. If the type of lookup is omitted, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static are used.
- binder
An object that defines a set of properties and enables binding, which can involve selection of an overloaded method, coercion of argument types, and invocation of a member through reflection.
A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), to use the DefaultBinder. Note that explicitly defining a Binder object may be required for successfully invoking method overloads with variable arguments.
- target
The object on which to invoke the specified member.
- args
An array containing the arguments to pass to the member to invoke.
Return ValueType: System.Object
An object representing the return value of the invoked member.
invokeAttr does not contain CreateInstance and name is null.
invokeAttr is not a valid BindingFlags attribute.
invokeAttr does not contain one of the following binding flags: InvokeMethod, CreateInstance, GetField, SetField, GetProperty, or SetProperty.
invokeAttr contains CreateInstance combined with InvokeMethod, GetField, SetField, GetProperty, or SetProperty.
invokeAttr contains both GetField and SetField.
invokeAttr contains both GetProperty and SetProperty.
invokeAttr contains InvokeMethod combined with SetField or SetProperty.
invokeAttr contains SetField and args has more than one element.
This method is called on a COM object and one of the following binding flags was not passed in: BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, BindingFlags.GetProperty, BindingFlags.SetProperty, BindingFlags.PutDispProperty, or BindingFlags.PutRefDispProperty.
One of the named parameter arrays contains a string that is null.
The specified member is a class initializer.
The field or property cannot be found.
No method can be found that matches the arguments in args.
The current Type object represents a type that contains open type parameters, that is, ContainsGenericParameters returns true.
The specified member cannot be invoked on target.
More than one method matches the binding criteria.
The .NET Compact Framework does not currently support this method.
The method represented by name has one or more unspecified generic type parameters. That is, the method's ContainsGenericParameters property returns true.
You cannot use InvokeMember to invoke a generic method.
The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which members to include in the search:
Specify BindingFlags.Public to include public members in the search.
Specify BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public members (that is, private and protected members) in the search.
Specify BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy to include static members up the hierarchy.
The following BindingFlags modifier flags can be used to change how the search works:
BindingFlags.IgnoreCase to ignore the case of name.
BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the members declared on the Type, not members that were simply inherited.
The following BindingFlags invocation flags can be used to denote what action to take with the member:
CreateInstance to invoke a constructor. name is ignored. Not valid with other invocation flags.
InvokeMethod to invoke a method, but not a constructor or a type initializer. Not valid with SetField or SetProperty. If InvokeMethod is specified by itself, BindingFlags.Public, BindingFlags.Instance, and BindingFlags.Static are automatically included.
GetField to get the value of a field. Not valid with SetField.
SetField to set the value of a field. Not valid with GetField.
GetProperty to get a property. Not valid with SetProperty.
SetProperty to set a property. Not valid with GetProperty.
See System.Reflection.BindingFlags for more information.
A method will be invoked if both of the following conditions are true:
The number of parameters in the method declaration equals the number of arguments in the args array (unless default arguments are defined on the member and BindingFlags.OptionalParamBinding is specified).
The type of each argument can be converted by the binder to the type of the parameter.
The binder will find all of the matching methods. These methods are found based upon the type of binding requested (BindingFlags values InvokeMethod, GetProperty, and so on). The set of methods is filtered by the name, number of arguments, and a set of search modifiers defined in the binder.
After the method is selected, it is invoked. Accessibility is checked at that point. The search may control which set of methods are searched based upon the accessibility attribute associated with the method. The Binder.BindToMethod method of the Binder class is responsible for selecting the method to be invoked. The default binder selects the most specific match.
Access restrictions are ignored for fully trusted code; that is, private constructors, methods, fields, and properties can be accessed and invoked through System.Reflection whenever the code is fully trusted.
You can use Type.InvokeMember to set a field to a particular value by specifying BindingFlags.SetField. For example, if you want to set a public instance field named F on class C, and F is a String, you can use code such as:
typeof(C).InvokeMember("F", BindingFlags.SetField, null, c, new Object[] {"strings new value"});
If F is a String[], you can use code such as:
typeof(C).InvokeMember("F", BindingFlags.SetField, null, c, new Object[] {new String[]{"a","z","c","d"}});
which will initialize the field F to this new array. You can also use Type.InvokeMember to set a position in an array by supplying the index of the value and then the next value by using code such as the following:
typeof(C).InvokeMember("F", BindingFlags.SetField, null, c, new Object[] {1, "b"});
This will change string "z" in the array that F holds to string "b".
When you invoke an IDispatch member, you can specify the DispID instead of the member name, using the string format "[DispID=##]". For example, if the DispID of MyComMethod is 3, you can specify the string "[DispID=3]" instead of "MyComMethod". Invoking a member by DispID is faster than looking up the member by name. In complex aggregation scenarios, the DispID is sometimes the only way to invoke the desired member.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1, this method can be used to access non-public members if the caller has been granted ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess flag and if the grant set of the non-public members is restricted to the caller's grant set, or a subset thereof. (See Security Considerations for Reflection.)
To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework 3.5 or later.
The following example uses InvokeMember to access members of a type.
using System; using System.Reflection; // This sample class has a field, constructor, method, and property. class MyType { Int32 myField; public MyType(ref Int32 x) {x *= 5;} public override String ToString() {return myField.ToString();} public Int32 MyProp { get {return myField;} set { if (value < 1) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("value", value, "value must be > 0"); myField = value; } } } class MyApp { static void Main() { Type t = typeof(MyType); // Create an instance of a type. Object[] args = new Object[] {8}; Console.WriteLine("The value of x before the constructor is called is {0}.", args[0]); Object obj = t.InvokeMember(null, BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, null, args); Console.WriteLine("Type: " + obj.GetType().ToString()); Console.WriteLine("The value of x after the constructor returns is {0}.", args[0]); // Read and write to a field. t.InvokeMember("myField", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.SetField, null, obj, new Object[] {5}); Int32 v = (Int32) t.InvokeMember("myField", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField, null, obj, null); Console.WriteLine("myField: " + v); // Call a method. String s = (String) t.InvokeMember("ToString", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, obj, null); Console.WriteLine("ToString: " + s); // Read and write a property. First, attempt to assign an // invalid value; then assign a valid value; finally, get // the value. try { // Assign the value zero to MyProp. The Property Set // throws an exception, because zero is an invalid value. // InvokeMember catches the exception, and throws // TargetInvocationException. To discover the real cause // you must catch TargetInvocationException and examine // the inner exception. t.InvokeMember("MyProp", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, obj, new Object[] {0}); } catch (TargetInvocationException e) { // If the property assignment failed for some unexpected // reason, rethrow the TargetInvocationException. if (e.InnerException.GetType() != typeof(ArgumentOutOfRangeException)) throw; Console.WriteLine("An invalid value was assigned to MyProp."); } t.InvokeMember("MyProp", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, obj, new Object[] {2}); v = (Int32) t.InvokeMember("MyProp", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, obj, null); Console.WriteLine("MyProp: " + v); } }

2014 volkswagen touareg Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
Effectively Volkswagen's flagship, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg enters the new model year with a new model on the horizon. The 2014 Volkswagen Touareg hopes to offer something for everyone, with three different powertrain options, a standard eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive. The 2014 Touareg's base engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 making 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, which is EPA-rated at 17/23 mpg city/highway. The 2014 Touareg TDI is next up. It's powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 making 240 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, and is rated at 20/29 mpg. Topping the range is the 2014 Touareg Hybrid, which is powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 and an electric motor, making 333 hp, and EPA-rated at 20/24 mpg.
In its most recent comparison test, the Volkswagen Touareg TDI didn't come home with the crown. Facing off with the Mercedes-Benz ML350 Bluetec, Porsche Cayenne Diesel, and (the winning) Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, the Touareg TDI came in last place, though not because it's a poor SUV. "That such a competent vehicle placed fourth in my order says a lot about the quality of the SUVs in this comparo." That's the truth, and we'd expect many consumers to be immensely satisfied with the Touareg. Though the Touareg achieved the second-best fuel economy during our testing, at 26.7 mpg, ultimately, "Our primary problem with the Touareg TDI is that we remember its predecessor. The 2004-2010 Touareg was a truly remarkable performer with 4Motion four-wheel drive and available air suspension and adaptive shock absorbers, making it more of a one-stop shop than the present-gen model."
With a new model not far off, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg gets a few minor updates, including a hands-free liftgate on higher-end models, and a 360-degree camera system. The new 2014 Touareg R-Line features sporty touches, though no real performance add-ons.
New for 2014
There aren't any big changes in store for the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg. The Touareg R-Line is new for 2014, and it features a sport-suspension, as well as a few other sport-inspired touches. The 2014 Touareg Executive and Hybrid also get a hands-free liftgate, and a 360-degree exterior camera system.

Accreditation is a voluntary, nongovernmental process whereby a recognized organization/agency grants public
recognition to a unit of an educational organization (school, institute,
college, university, specialized program of study) indicating that it meets
established standards of quality, as determined through initial and periodic
self-study and evaluation by peers. In the absence of centralized authority over
institutions of higher education at the national level, the fifty states assume
varying degrees of control over educational institutions. As a result,
institutions vary widely in the character and quality of their programs. The
essential purpose of the accreditation process is to provide a professional
judgment as to the quality of the educational institution or program(s) offered
and to encourage continual improvement.

Disaster declaration prohibit sale, use of fireworks
No fireworks can be bought or sold in Hutchinson County this year.Hutchinson County Judge Faye Blanks issued a Declaration of Disaster that will prohibit the sale or use of fireworks. This disaster declaration was signed and approved by Texas Governor Perry Friday, and will be in effect until 7 a.m. July 5, 2011.Since the beginning of the year, the Hutchinson County has seen less than ¾ inch of rainfall, and local fire departments have put out over 130 fires as of this point in 2011.Danny Richards, Hutchinson County Fire Marshal, said some of the fires have been small and some large, but they all are important in the whole scheme of things. This rainy season has been nonexistent, he said, and a long term forecast from the National Weather Service for the county shows no signs of possible rainfall in the area. Those caught violating the declaration face the possibility of a $1,000 fine and 180 days in jail. Hutchinson County will be upping patrols to push the fireworks ban. I hope people can find an alternative way to celebrate the fourth of july," Richards said. "We've never done this before. This is all new to us." Even after the declaration expires, the county will still remain under a burn ban. Officials will promote education and fire safety, and are asking for the cooperation of the community in abiding by this declaration. "We've never had a complete ban on fireworks, but this is the year." Richards said. There will be a county commissioners meeting in the Hutchinson County Courthouse at 9:30 a.m. Monday. At that time, the commissioners and judge will have further discussion on the disaster declaration. However, Richards said the ban is a done deal.

Rain and winds have been pounding nonstop on the city of Gainesville, Florida. It's one of the cities bracing impact from Hurricane Irma.
Chunks of trees made blankets over the road. There is so much debris on the ground, it's not safe to drive, as it's causing flat tires.
Conditions there continued to deteriorate and it's not safe to be outside, let alone travel.
As of 6:30 a.m. CST, Hurricane Irma left nearly 4.6 million customers without power in Florida and Georgia combined. Local 15's Nicole Fierro lost power during her live shot. And just like that, many people staying at the hotel where she was reporting from were instantly without power.
"Oh! We just lost power right now, and did you hear that bang? That bang was another transformer. We've heard three already, this is now four this morning. So we lost power right in the front of the hotel, but inside it looks like there is some light...as you can see things are just developing very fast, not safe conditions right now for anyone to be outside, you know we just lost power in just a second so you don't know what's gonna happen and we're only expecting winds to get worse this morning," Fierro explained.
Some people had driven hours to the city to get away from Irma, so the weather has them uneasy.

A secret agreement came to light this week between the Israel and the Central Asian nation of Azerbaijan: The Azeri government has granted Israelis access to eight air bases, located just a couple hundred miles north of Israel's foe Iran.
Allowing Israeli fighter jets and bombers to land and refuel so close to Iran raises questions: Could this mean Israel and Iran are one step closer to war? Or are Azerbaijan and Israel just looking to strengthen their relationship?
Mark Perry, journalist and author of Talking with Terrorists, wrote an investigative piece on the air bases for Foreign Policy magazine. Perry told Guy Raz, host of weekend on All Things Considered, this new agreement "allows Israel the ability to attack Iran more easily."
Leverage For Israel
Many in Israel view Iran's nuclear program as an existential threat. The West accuses Iran of covertly working toward nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge, saying its program is peaceful.
Any sort of Israeli military action at the moment is speculative. But if anything, Perry notes, this gives Israel leverage when it comes to Iran. The Azeri government has vehemently denied the allegations in Perry's article, saying it has already told Iran that no military assets would be launched from Azeri territory into Iran.
But Perry, who notes he took great care in reading the Azeri government response, says the denial doesn't address the core issues of his article.
"My article says military officials here in the United States and diplomats believe that Azeri air bases could be used for landing rights or for drones and reconnaissance or for search-and-rescue missions," Perry says.
So how did the relationship between Israel, a Jewish nation, and Azerbaijan, a secular Muslim country, develop in the first place?
In a word: "Oil," Perry says.
Israel imports a large amount of its oil from Azerbaijan, and it sells Azerbaijan military hardware as well as goods such as ice cream and cell phones.
"It's a very close and strong relationship, and it has been for quite some time," Perry says.
Relations With Turkey
But this new deepening connection could be, Perry says, in reaction to Israel's increasing troubled relationship with Turkey, previously Israel's strongest ally in the region.
Perry cites Israel's interception in 2010 of a flotilla, which sailed from Turkey, headed for the Gaza Strip. Eight Turks died in that raid; since then, Israeli-Turkish relations have "deteriorated markedly," Perry says. Many military contracts Israel had with Turkey have since been given to Azerbaijan.
"In many respects, Israeli geostrategic views have shifted farther east, away from Turkey and toward Baku," Perry says.
U.S. military officials are watching to see how this new strengthened relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan will progress. Right now, Perry says, they are taking this news seriously.
"The real deep concern of the military and intelligence community in the United States about the talk of war and how that sometimes can inadvertently lead to war, and that's a concern here that [Israel has] to acknowledge," he says.
Staying in the Middle East and to a possible secret agreement between Israel and Azerbaijan, a deal that would allow Israeli warplanes access to Azeri air bases. Azerbaijan happens to share a border with Iran, and some U.S. military and diplomatic officials are worried about the deepening ties between Israel and Azerbaijan. Investigative reporter Mark Perry broke the story for Foreign Policy magazine this past week.
MARK PERRY: This is heightened concern that an agreement with Azerbaijan, an Israeli agreement with Azerbaijan, allows Israel the ability to attack Iran much more easily.
RAZ: I should note that the Azeri government has vehemently denied your assertions, your allegations in the article, and they say this is just false.
PERRY: The denial is the restatement of what their foreign minister has told Tehran previously, that no military assets would be launched against Iran from Azeri territory. That's not all my article says. My article says that military officials here in the United States and diplomats believe that Azeri air bases could be used for landing rights or for drones and reconnaissance or for search and rescue missions.
So I took real care in reading their denial. It is the standard denial, predictable denial, and it doesn't mention these other assets they have very purposely, I think.
RAZ: Explain the basis of the relationship, because Azerbaijan is a majority Muslim country. It is probably the most secular Muslim country in the world. But it is a member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which bills itself as the collective voice of the Muslim world. How did that relationship with Israel, which is a Jewish state, how did that develop?
PERRY: Oil. Israel imports a large amount of its oil from Azerbaijan. And secondly, I don't think we can discount there's 30,000 Azerbaijani Jews in Baku, and there's a very good strong relationship because Israel imports things like ice cream from Azerbaijan and provides military hardware. The Israelis trained the presidential guard. It's a very close and a very strong relationship, and it has been for quite some time.
RAZ: Is it, in some ways, a reaction to Israel's worsening relationship with Turkey, which previously had been its strongest ally in the Islamic world?
PERRY: Absolutely right. In May of 2010, we remember the Israelis intercepted a flotilla headed for Gaza from Turkey. Eight Turks died in that raid and one Turkish-American. And from that point, the Turkish-Israeli relationship, which had been very strong, deteriorated markedly. There's been canceled contracts, military contracts with Turkey, that have now ended up in Azerbaijan. So in many respects, Israeli geostrategic views have shifted further east, away from Turkey and toward Baku.
RAZ: Mark, we have done a lot of coverage on the program about Iran. We've talked to leaders of Israel's military and intelligence establishment - retired, mainly. Many of whom oppose an attack on Iran, as you know. How do you know that you're not being spun? That the information you were given wasn't part of this whole campaign to spook Iran?
PERRY: It's an important question and it's something that I have thought about often. I have very good solid relationships with my sources here in Washington. If I thought for one second they were lying to me, I couldn't write this article, because everything in a reporter's career is based on his personal credibility and his ability to get things right. I'm certain this story is right.
RAZ: There are, as you know, and as you've reported, there is a widespread divergence of views among Israeli intelligence and military figures about the wisdom of attacking Iran. I wonder, though, if the deepening Azeri relationship is really about many other things and the Iran component is just an afterthought.
PERRY: There are a lot of other factors and variables at work here, not least the economic. We've got to believe, living in a rational world, that the Azeri leadership would not want a war with Iran. They've told Iran they don't want a war. I believe them. But this deepening relationship with Israel at this time and so publicly is also being used by Israel as leverage against Iran, and it has to be taken seriously. And it's taken seriously here by our military and diplomatic corps.
RAZ: Do you think there are elements within Israel who like the fact that you've reported this, who like the idea that this spooks Iran?
PERRY: That's an interesting spin. Certainly, it gives them leverage, but it also, I think, signals to them - as if they didn't know it - the real deep concern of the military and intelligence community in the United States about the talk of war and how that can sometimes inadvertently lead to war, and that's a concern here that they to acknowledge.
RAZ: That's Mark Perry. He's the author of the book "Talking with Terrorists." His article about the Israeli-Azeri relationship is in Foreign Policy magazine. You can find it online. Mark Perry, thanks so much.
PERRY: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

State transportation officials to host public meeting on Route 153 bridge project in Farmington
By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
FARMINGTON - State Transportation officials hope to receive public input about a project to replace the bridge along Route 153 over the Cocheco River.
A meeting is scheduled for April 4 in the Farmington Town Hall, 356 Main St. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for informal viewing of the project information, with a formal presentation starting at 7 p.m. Members of the N.H. Department of Transportation will then hear from officials and residents about their concerns, goals and questions.When state and local officials discussed the project on Jan. 14, the consensus was to use a detour rather than keep one lane open during construction. The estimated cost of the detour is $2.9 million - which is about $500,000 more than the phased option, according to the meeting minutes.
Officials also talked about water lines, sewer mains, ambulance service and sidewalks for students as part of the process.

Facebook Goes Live with OpenID
Facebook on Monday finally went live with OpenID, the open user-authentication system also used by MySpace, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, and IBM.
To start, new users will be able to register for Facebook with their Gmail accounts or link their Facebook accounts with any OpenID provider.
Facebook joined the board of OpenID in February, even though it has its own Facebook Connect cross-platform program.
"We believe openness and open standards foster a strong developer community with shared goals and interests," Facebook wrote in a blog post. "We've always believed that making the user experience as secure, lightweight, and intuitive as possible ... is one of our top priorities."
"In tests we've run, we've noticed that first-time users who register on the site with OpenID are more likely to become active Facebook users," the blog said. "They get up and running after registering even faster than before, find their friends easily, and quickly engage on the site."
Facebook promised more integration in the future.
Yahoo joined OpenID in January 2008, and Microsoft, IBM, Google, and VeriSign followed suit a month later. MySpace issued its support in July 2008.Originally posted to AppScout.

A Short History of Wisconsin offers a swift, authoritative, and compulsively readable chance to rediscover Wisconsin history from the very beginning. In this history of Wisconsin book, historian Erika Janik recounts the landscapes, people, and traditions that have made the state the multifaceted place it is today. Covering several centuries of Wisconsin's remarkable past, this fascinating account shows how the state was shaped by the same world wars, waves of new inhabitants, and upheavals in society and politics that shaped the nation. A Short History of Wisconsin commences with the glaciers, Native American cultures and French explorers and traders. Janik moves through the Civil War and two world wars, covers advances in the rights of women, workers, African Americans, and Indians, and recent shifts involving the environmental movement and the conservative revolution of the late twentieth century. But only part of the story lies in sweeping societal change. Janik finds the story of a state not only in the broad strokes of immigration and politics, but in the daily lives shaped by work, leisure, sports, and culture. A Short History of Wisconsin offers a fresh understanding of how Wisconsin came into being and how Wisconsinites past and present share a deep connection to the land itself. From the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. Paperback, 164 pages, 5.5 in x 8 in., 49 photos and illustrations.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
Major Wheeler coral honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler,' is a variety of trumpet honeysuckle that is native to the eastern side of North America, where you can find this popular ornamental vine climbing up fences, light posts, trellises, and mailboxes. It is appreciated by gardeners for its bright red trumpet-shaped blooms, colorful berries, and ability to attract a variety of pollinators. Here on the High Line, the plant attracts Ruby-throated hummingbirds in the early morning hours, when there are fewer visitors and the park is at its most serene.
The plant is growing on the vegetal fencing on the western side of the High Line between West 17th and West 18th Streets.

In today's new Full HD hardcore XXX video, watch a beautiful brunette housemaid kneeling at a man's feet while she's still in her sexy uniform, lapping at his asshole, giving him a balls licking, and jacking his cock to a big creamy squirt!
The gorgeous Dominica Phoenix from Kyrgyzstan is cleaning up Ian Scott's place when he comes home and is immediately attracted to her curvy ass body in her frilly black uniform with the little white apron, sheer black stockings, and black high heels. He offers her cash for some blowjob, pussy licking, and anal action, and she readily says okay and immediately he's licking and fingering her anus and then cramming her cornhole with his enormous shaft.
But Dominica then does some ass to mouth big dick cocksucking when he takes a break from her bottom, before he returns to her backdoor for doggy style anal porn stuffing. But the scene doesn't end there, as once Dominica has the big redheaded guy naked on the couch, she goes back to work on his prick, sucking the shaft, nuzzling the balls, and then finally getting his load to spurt as she licks his bunghole! Wow, what a wild girl!!

SETTING: A Store Clerk is standing at his countertop serving Customer 1.
CUSTOMER 1: Hello, Can I have 10 cents' worth of jellybeans?
STORE CLERK:(Sighs. )
Well, I have to go get the ladder and climb up to the 15th shelf to get the jellybeans. OK, I'll be right back.
(The Store Clerk climbs up a ladder behind the counter and climbs out of sight. After rummaging through the shelves, with things falling all over the place, the Store Clerk comes back from climbing and is out of breath. He has a huge jellybean jar.)
Store Clerk:Here you go.
(He gives the Customer his 10 cents' worth. Customer 1 hands Store Clerk 10 cents.)
Customer 1:Thank you. Bye.
Store Clerk:Have a wonderful day.
(Customer 1 leaves the store. Store Clerk climbs up ladder and returns jelly beans to the high shelf. Customer 2 enters with a fluffy animal and rings the hand bell.)
Customer 2:Hello, may we have 10 cents' worth of jellybeans, please?
Store Clerk:(Out of breath.)
OK, be right back, just a moment.
(The Store Clerk climbs up the ladder again. The Store Clerk comes back with the beans.)
10 cents' worth of jellybeans, coming right up.
(The Store Clerk hands Customer 2 10 cents' worth of jellybeans.)
Customer 2:Thank you. Come along, Foo Foo.
(Customer 2 leaves the store as Customer 3 walks in.)
Customer 3:Hello may I have...
Store Clerk :Let me guess. You want 10 cents' worth of jellybeans.
Customer 3:No.
Store Clerk:OK, good, I can put these away. I'll be right back to help you.
Customer 3:But...
Store Clerk:No, it's OK. I'll be with you in a moment.
(The Store Clerk climbs the ladder and puts the jellybeans away. Lots of stuff falls from the shelves. When he gets back he is very tired and out of breath.)
Store Clerk:OK, now, Miss, what would you like?
Customer 3:May I have 11 cents' worth of jelly beans, please?
(The Store Clerk looks at the audience with an exasperated look.)

The answer comes down to finding a balance, Williams tells Carbon Brief:
"Mathematically speaking, the correct approach would be to keep decreasing the time step until the simulations are converged and the results stop changing. However, we normally lack the computational resources to run the models with a time step this small. Therefore, we are forced to tolerate a larger time step than we would ideally like."
For the atmosphere component of climate models, a time step of around 30 minutes "seems to be a reasonable compromise" between accuracy and computer processing time, says Williams:
"Any smaller and the improved accuracy would not be sufficient to justify the extra computational burden. Any larger and the model would run very quickly, but the simulation quality would be poor."
Bringing all these pieces together, a climate model can produce a representation of the whole climate system at 30-minute intervals over many decades or even centuries.
Cashmere Silk Scarf CONCEALED IN CLOUDS SILK by VIDA VIDA J4MF4
, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, describes in his TED talk in 2014, the interactions of small-scale processes in a model mean it creates a simulation of our climate – everything from the evaporation of moisture from the Earth's surface and formation of clouds, to where the wind carries them and where the rain eventually falls.
Schmidt calls these "emergent properties" in his talk – features of the climate that aren't specifically coded in the model, but are simulated by the model as a result of all the individual processes that are built in.
It is akin to the manager of a football team. He or she picks the team, chooses the formation and settles on the tactics, but once the team is out on the pitch, the manager cannot dictate if and when the team scores or concedes a goal. In a climate model, scientists set the ground rules based on the physics of the Earth system, but it is the model itself that creates the storms, droughts and sea ice.
So to summarise: scientists put the fundamental physical equations of the Earth's climate into a computer model, which is then able to reproduce – among many other things – the circulation of the oceans, the annual cycle of the seasons, and the flows of carbon between the land surface and the atmosphere.
You can watch the whole of Schmidt's talk below.
While the above broadly explains what a climate model is, there are many different types. Read on to the question below to explore these in more detail.
Statement Bag PWR by VIDA VIDA Fl7D3Rs6R
The earliest and most basic numerical climate models are Energy Balance Models (EBMs). EBMs do not simulate the climate, but instead consider the balance between the energy entering the Earth's atmosphere from the sun and the heat released back out to space. The only climate variable they calculate is surface temperature. The simplest EBMs only require a few lines of code and can be run in a spreadsheet.
We are pleased to announce that we will soon be launching our sixth journal, .

So, you have a great idea for a new paper. It looks at some aspect of the interactions between people and nature. It will have some ecological relevance, but may not be a pure ecology paper. It will also have a good bit of material drawn from one or more other disciplines – it could be economics, geography, history, law,literature, medicine,philosophy, politics, psychology, or sociology, to name just a few possibilities. But it is not a mainstream paper for one of those disciplines either. So, where will you submit your latest contribution? You will want a journal that not just considers outputs from this kind of cross/multi/interdisciplinary work, but really values them. You will want one that understands both the importance of your paper being promptly and fairly handled by people who are knowledgeable about the topic, and that takes seriously the challenges that can arise when reviewing work that crosses disciplinary specialisms. You will want one backed by a respected organisation, with a track record of publishing high quality journals.
Welcome to People and Nature – a journal of relational thinking.
The British Ecological Society is launching this new journal in recognition of the rapid growth in inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary research concerning the relationships between humans and nature. Much of this research addresses issues of vital importance.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Serendipity is a pretty, dusty pink mauve lipstick that pairs perfectly with everything in your closet. Wear it when you meet the Queen. Satin finish. Lightly vanilla scented.
Serendipity is a happy accident. It's when something happens by pure chance that ends up being really awesome.
In modern times, this lipstick you're looking at is called "mauve." And the only reason we have the color mauve at all (or any other modern color for that matter) is because of a happy, serendipitous accident.

All the lipsticks I have tried have never disappointed me.They moisturize without a greasy feeling.When applied the color stays the same color is long lasting.I will continue purchasing lipsticks for myself as gifts from Elixery.
Posted by Mary Johnson on March 22nd, 2018
Beautiful color. Long-lasting. No smudge while wearing. So happy to find a reliable beauty product by a company committed to animal welfare.
Posted by Susan on February 23rd, 2018
The actual lipstick doesn't match this color at all. Maybe there is a different color in computers? It's a pink that's slightly looks like the inside of my lips. It's brighter but hardly like the picture on my computer. I do like the texture and I like the color but not like what's shown in the picture or described. Look up mauve for yourself. What they say about it is true but the color is not.
Posted by Lola on January 5th, 2016
As with all the Elixery lipsticks, this makes my lips feel incredibly lush. The color is exactly the hue I wanted, but a little lighter than I was hoping for. I think it will be my summer go-to. On me it's darker than a nude, but not by a lot.
Posted by LuAnn on December 8th, 2014
Love this color! I have a darker more red color (Aviatrix) which I like but is more dramatic. This color is good for any time of the day. Darker than Karma but I would put this in the same tonal category.
Posted by Becky on May 16th, 2014
This is the color I wear 90% of the time. I may wear others for a certain event or because I am wearing a certain color, but this is the one I ALWAYS go back to.

2011 Boy Scout Requirement Changes
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|Special thanks to... PaulSWolf and the U.S. Scouting Service Project (USSSP) for allowing us permission to use his work and re-format (wikify) it for our use here. Paul is a Sysop (here and on our forums), as well as Secretary of the USSSP.
| Please help improve this article by expanding it.
Further information might be found on the talk page.
The 2011 edition of Boy Scout Requirements (No. 33216 - SKU#34765) was released in mid-January, 2011. The 2011 Boy Scout Requirements book includes: a minor addition to Life rank requirement 4, a clarification to Eagle rank requirement 6, major revisions to three merit badges, minor changes to two merit badges, and the requirements for the three new merit badges (released in 2010).
2011 Boy Scout Requirements (Summary of changes)
An addition was made to requirement 6, by adding item (g) as a seventh option for Scouts teaching the EDGE method to another Scout. The change reads as follows:
- 6. While a Star Scout, use the EDGE method to teach a younger Scout the skills from ONE of the following seven
sixchoices, so that he is prepared to pass those requirements to his unit leader's satisfaction.
- g. Three requirements from one of the Eagle-required merit badges, as approved by your unit leader.
BSA included a clarification of requirement 4, as follows:
- The 2009 printing of the Boy Scout Handbook inadvertently included bugler as a position of responsibility under Eagle Scout requirement 4; it is not. The corrected Eagle Scout requirement 4 will appear in the next printing of the Boy Scout Handbook.
Merit Badges
The following Merit Badges (released in 2010) are now listed in the new (2011) "Boy Scout Requirements" book:
The requirements for the following Merit Badges were revised, effective January 1, 2011:
Minor changes were made to requirements 5(OPTION A)(f)(2) and 5(OPTION B)(f)(2). Only the changes are shown here:
- 5. Option "A" – Using a Recurve Bow or Longbow
- f. Do ONE of the following:

Allopurinol is mainly used in the treatment of certain health disorders arising from excessive uric acid in the blood stream. The crystallization of uric acid forms bladder stones in dogs with liver shunts, but primarily in Dalmatians. In addition, allopurinol helps cure gout problems in dogs and birds. The active ingredient in Allopurinol is xanthine oxidase. Though not FDA approved for use in veterinary medicine, veterinarians commonly use it to cure recurrent urate bladder stones in dogs.
Allopurinol is a prescription drug, which can only be obtained from a veterinarian. Allopurinol should not be used in animals with hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug. It should be used with extreme caution in animals with deteriorated kidney and liver function. Allopurinol might possibly interact with other medications. So, consult with the veterinarian for possible drug reactions.
The general dose of allopurinol in dogs is 3 to 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) every 8 hours or 7 mg per pound (15 mg/kg) every 12 hours. For cats, the typical dose is 4 mg per pound (8.8 mg/kg) per day. The drug should consumed by mouth, and preferably given with food. Pregnant and nursing animals, and puppies and kittens should not be given this medication. For the treatment of canine leishmaniasis, allopurinol is administered at 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) every twelve hours for prolonged treatment.
The common side effects of this medicine are diarrhea, cramping or nausea. Another side effect is skin rashes, which occurs only when used with Ampicillin and Amoxicillin.
