Because the delay would have been pountless and because it was better to list known patent clzaims than to pretend that patents do not exist and to sit there hoping.

That is why you consistently ignore all references to RF in the PPF and instead make out that W3C is trying to force everyone to go RAND. I appreciate that makes a better story. Naturally we are in fact attempting to do the opposite - to make clesar what patent claims have been made so that the developer comunity is aware of them and can judge their relevance, and naturally you will not agree because you want a handy target to demonize. -- ChrisReceived on Friday, 5 October 2001 08:41:55 UTC

In the first part of this article, I wrote about FIFA Present Sepp Blatter's assertion that North America does not have what he called a strong league.
This week, I examine the second key part of his observations, that we have no league "recognized by American society".
Now, neither I nor Mr. Blatter are qualified to speak on behalf of American society.
Firstly, we're both old and European. Additionally what American society does or does not "recognize" is impossible to define, so I cannot prove him wrong. This means we are confronted with the possibility, however bizarre, that Herr Blatter may be right. At least a little.
In a land of myriad cable television channels, talk radio shows, websites and varying other sources of information, our society is as fragmented as any modern first world nation. Additionally, it lacks that centering influence of a state media channel, such as CBC in Canada or the BBC in London.
If Blatter meant that fewer people recognize Jordan Harvey than Kim Kardashian, then he is right. If he meant more people will watch the Superbowl than the MLS Cup Final, again he has a point.
But could the same not also be said of a top alpine skier in Norway, a cricketer in India, a leading member of the politburo in China or that bloke pretending to ride a horse whose video has been seen by a billion people in Korea?
MLS players' private lives do not make the front pages, nor their deeds on the field the back pages. Other sports push soccer to one side. That has always been the case and has not changed as Blatter lastly observed:
It is a question of time. I thought, when we had the World Cup in 1994. ... But we are now in 2012 -- it's been 18 years -- it should have been done now. But they are still struggling.
It is here that he is tangentially right.
Soccer is growing but not as fast as may have been hoped back in 1994 when the World Cup was held here. The task turned out to be more difficult than the most optimistic had hoped.
There are two possible conclusions one could reasonably draw from his statement and an admission that it holds some water.
Planting a World Cup in a growing soccer nation does not have the medium term impact we first thought. However, if that is the correct conclusion, then Mr. Blatter's entire premise for awarding the games to Qatar is undermined.
It is undermined just as the premise that taking the Olympic Games to China would spread human rights to the Middle Kingdom proved to be farcically optimistic.
So Blatter may indeed be right under one particular set of circumstances, but those reflect poorly on FIFA's power to change the world and cast an even poorer shadow on what he sees as his likely legacy, the growth of the sport in new territories.
If America has failed, so has FIFA.
But I want to end with one new thought and the second possible conclusion as to the purpose behind his remarks.
What did the man charged with growing soccer globally think he would achieve by ramming it up the American soccer community?
It is hard for me to see any possible benefit from his words that would assist U.S. soccer to speed up its improvement curve. Blatter offered no encouragement, no solutions, no offers of further help. There was not even a rationale or an explanation offered for its failure.
All of this leaves me to conclude he was using his speech for another purpose entirely.
So watch now as I join Mr Blatter in his new hobby of making observations on minimal evidence.
Is it just possible he has some old scores to settle with U.S. Soccer connected to other matters; perhaps the way votes were cast for World Cup hosting or as a commenter on Part 1 observed for our refusal to switch to the UEFA calendar? Or the role played by U.S. Soccer's Chuck Blazer in uncovering FIFA corruption?
Just a thought, but I'm open to other wildly unsubstantiated ideas from you guys.
Whether or not they are widely recognized by American society.

Can Brian Vickers Pull a Fast One at Richmond?September 9, 2009
If you went back to the beginning of the season you would think that Brian Vickers didn't have a prayer in Hell to make the chase. After getting involved in a wreck with Dale Jr and finishing 39th,the future looked bleak.
Now, with just one week left before the Chase, he looks unstopabble. He has 12 top ten's, 4 top five's and one win. He also has an outstanding six poles. He's been consistent and patient. He is only 20 points outside of the chase,17 points ahead of Kyle Busch.
The bad news is that Richmond is not one of his better tracks. In ten races he has only one top 10 with one pole. He has an average finish of 27th, while leading only 53 laps of 3,895 laps completed.
On the other hand, the man who is right there with him trying to get the last spot in the chase? Kyle Busch.Who just happens to be great at Richmond. With an average finish of 6.1, seven top 10's and seven top 5's, Kyle Busch is the favorite to win this weekends race. To make things worse for Vickers, Busch won the last race at Richmond in may.
Vickers also has to hope one of the drivers in front of him stumbles. But, which one? Matt Kenseth? Maybe. Kenseth has an average finish of 16.8 with one win. He also has 9 top ten's and three top five's. The good news is that Kenseth is only 20 points ahead. A small enough number to seem surmountable.
Next in line. Greg Biffle and mark martin. Both are about 50 points ahead of the vickster. After that it gets a little more complicated. Vickers pretty much knows that there is only one way to guarantee entry to the chase. Win.
Vickers said; "Pretty much go there and win the race. That's not necessarily the only way to get in the Chase, but that's really how we're going to gain the most amount of points."
Regardless of whether Vickers makes it or not, he and his team have made great progress.They have been white hot in the last eight races scoring the most points with 1,205.
Not only are they running great, they are working together to overcome adversity with great team work. After it looked like they were out of contention Sunday night with rear axle problems, the team worked together and go the car back on the lead lap.
So even though Richmond isn't Vickers best track,there is no denying his momentum. And in Nascar, momentum can be just the edge you need.

Three women pleaded guilty in Miami federal court on Wednesday to stealing money from a government program, according to U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer.
Simone West, 22, of Hollywood, Chante Sweet, 35, of Miami, and Ashley Rolle, 27, of St. Petersburg, admitted to siphoning approximately $21,932 in federal grant money from the City of Miami between 2007 and 2009, prosecutors said.
The money was designated for the Miami ACES program that advised members of the community about hurricane and emergency preparedness.
Sweet was an employee of the City of Miami Neighborhood Enhancement Team at the time. She admitted to issuing checks to West and Rolle even though they performed no work for the Miami ACES program. They cashed the checks and shared the money with Sweet, according to court records.
West acknowledged cashing about $9,799 in checks and Rolle admitted to getting approximately $9,603 in checks, records showed.
The women are scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 26.

Opis artikla
A truly definitive design. The Jaguar LSR is the right choice for those who wish to wear perfect equipment, closely studied for highly demanding users, seeking the ultimate performance from their sports-kit.
• The mask shape establishes a natural connection between face and lenses.
• The goggles' perfect hydrodynamics grant total safety even in rough waters.
• The hydrodynamic design of the lenses perfectly complements the face, avoiding visual distortions in turbulent water.
• The curved, conical lenses are the result of intense studies, searching for the best and widest field of vision possible, and for a way to reduce the annoying optical distortions often experienced underwater.
• The racy design brings the goggles very close to the face, therefore high speed swimming will create considerably less vibration.

Engineering Class Sprockets
Chains and sprockets must work together, so buying them from the same source makes sense. When chains and sprockets articulate correctly, the life of the chain is extended. That means long-term savings and real value for your application.
Start with High-Quality Materials
U.S. Tsubaki sprockets for Engineering Class Chain are made with quality material—usually carbon steel. Heat-treated carbon steel provides long wear life, resists abrasion, and withstands heavy shock loads. We can also manufacture sprockets using special materials to meet your specific needs. For example, we can make sprockets from alloy steel, stainless steel, or bronze. The result is always the same: U.S. Tsubaki sprockets are designed to maximize the life of your chain and to keep your operation running smoothly.
Flame Cut for Long Wear
U.S. Tsubaki sprockets are flame machined, not torched. This special manufacturing operation ensures hardened teeth that stand up to rigorous applications. And we build the same quality into every manufacturing step. We use state-of-the-art computer-driven machinery to precision manufacture heavy- duty sprockets that consistently provide the highest standard of performance.
Get Added Locking Power FREE!
Two set screws are standard on every U.S. Tsubaki Engineering Class Sprocket. No additional cost. No additional waiting time. That means on-line locking power where you need it most. Two set screws hold sprockets in place well and that means less wear and tear on costly shafting.
Select the Sprocket You Need
U.S. Tsubaki offers a full line of Engineering Class Sprockets. In addition to providing Engineering Class Sprockets for every U.S. Tsubaki chain, our sprockets can be used with chains made by many other manufacturers. Check the Sprocket Cross-Reference Chart in Section D of this catalog. If you have any questions, please contact U.S. Tsubaki.

Food Network Star Review: Problem SolvingWinston Rice at . Comments
The top five Food Network Star contestants traveled to NYC this week, where their excitement over visiting the Food Network Headquarters quickly turned to anxiety after the judges assigned them their challenges for the week.
First up: the mini-challenge. Giada, Alton, and Bobby (he's back!) tasked the remaining contestants on Food Network Star Season 10 Episode 9 to pick out a summer food staple from one of the Chelsea Market street vendors and then prepare a live field story on it.
Nicole and Luca appeared comfortable on camera, using their winning personalities to get across some great info on their summer staples. Sarah hit the middle of the road with her wackadoodle performance, while Lenny, and Loreal failed to impress.
Lenny must have thought he was on the Real Gourmet Cowboys of Colorado, because like most other reality housewives, he didn't play to the camera at all, pretending like it didn't even exist. Sorry, Lenny, but when the mentors are on the other end of the live feed, you have to direct your attention to the camera and more importantly, the viewers! Especially when you're supposedly delivering important information to at home cooks. Better luck next time.
Loreal, as the self-proclaimed "butcher babe," should've hit a home run at Dickson's Farmstand Meats, but she wasn't able to deliver any authoritative answers when it came to Bobby's meat related questions. Not a good sign.
While Lenny and Loreal's performances in the mini challenge were extremely lacking, there was still time to remedy the situation in the Star Challenge. But only time and the Rachael Ray Show would tell.
In the Star Challenge, each contestant delivered a three and a half minute problem solving segment live on the Rachael Ray Show. Each dish was supposed to resolve a specifically assigned family's dinnertime dilemma. These assigned families were courtesy of Nicole, who decided whose hands the fates of these family's problems would rest in, after winning the mini challenge.
Lenny was given the Burns Family, a large family of six, who were looking for cheap meals. While I don't necessarily think Lenny's choice of country roasted chicken thighs with toasted rice, carrots, onions, and celery sounded all that cheap, he was able to engage the large family throughout his performance, presenting the meal in a very family friendly way, giving many extra tips beyond just the problem the family wanted solved. Someone definitely redeemed himself with this demo.
Sarah, meanwhile, continued to mildly disappoint the judges with her segment. Making taco soup, Sarah was able to give her family the frozen-leftover-ready meal they were looking for, but she didn't do it with any pizzazz. Yawn.
Luca's family's mother wanted a vegetable heavy dish that her picky kids would eat. Luca was smart in creating a cauliflower based risotto with bolognese sauce, but he wasn't a smart presenter, ultimately unable to get the kids to eat it.
Loreal was tasked by her family to make a quick, cheap, and easy meal on the go. So what does she decide to do? Make a complicated, multi-step meal, duh. So wrong on so many levels. It's safe to say Loreal wasn't able to fix this family's culinary problems or the many problems she enacted upon herself this week.
And finally, Nicole chose the family that was looking for healthy, yet delicious food options. Substituting the family's normal meat and potatoes diet for fish, Nicole, using her coastal cuisine viewpoint, almost successfully problem solved...if only she hadn't added the spicy sriracha. Too hot for the kids to handle, one of them actually spit out her food on live TV. Yikes. #embarrassing
After it was all said and done, the stars of the Star Challenge were Luca and Lenny, which should come as no real surprise. Nicole was quickly removed from the bottom three, thank heavens. Sarah and Loreal were left in the bottom two and Loreal was sent home, her Food Network Star dreams shattered.
Even though Loreal did a terrible job this week, I still think she should've stayed over Sarah. She stood out, sometimes for the wrong reasons, but unlike Sarah, at least she stood out. Those are just my two cents, though. What do you guys think? Hit the comments with your thoughts!

January 17, 2014 18:22 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 17, 2014) - Foran Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:FOM) ("Foran" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has negotiated a non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") of up to 6,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.20 for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") issued on a flow-through basis in connection with which Foran will incur and renounce Canadian exploration expenses, and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.30 per Common Share for 18 months from the date of closing of the Placement.
Closing of the Placement is anticipated to occur on or about February 12, 2014, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including TSX Venture Exchange approval. All securities issued in the Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing of the Placement. Finder's fees will be payable in connection with the Placement, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proceeds of the Placement will be used for exploration on the Company's landholdings in east-central Saskatchewan surrounding its 100% owned McIlvenna Bay Deposit.
As at September 30, 2013, the Company had a treasury of $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.
About Foran Mining
Foran is a diversified exploration and development company with projects in the Flin Flon Mining Belt. The Company's flagship McIlvenna Bay Deposit, located in east central Saskatchewan, 65 kilometres west of Flin Flon, Manitoba, is one of the largest undeveloped volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits in Canada.
On March 27, 2013, Foran announced an increased mineral resource estimate for the McIlvenna Bay Deposit, with indicated resources of 13.9 million tonnes grading 1.96% copper equivalent (1.28% Cu, 2.67% Zn, 0.49 g/t Au, 17 g/t Ag) and an inferred resource of 11.3 million tonnes grading 2.01% copper equivalent (1.32% Cu, 2.97% Zn, 0.43 g/t Au, 17 g/t Ag). For additional information, see the Foran news release dated March 27, 2013 or the report entitled "Technical Report on the McIlvenna Bay Project, Saskatchewan, Canada" dated December 9, 2011 at www.sedar.com or www.foranmining.com. Roger March, VP Project Exploration for Foran and a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this release.

While Dell's consumer division has only released two Haswell-powered models, the Alienware group delivered from the get-go. These fully up-to-date 2013 models are available we've got a coupon for the flagship model.
As the name implies, this is the 18.4-inch gaming laptop. Like the other Alienware laptops, the 18 sports a refreshed chassis that shares the same new "stealth bomber" motif, which it wears quite well. The 4th gen Core i7-4700MQ is the minimum processor you get with the Alienware 18, sporting four cores that clock between 2.4GHz and 3.4GHz. You can get up to a Core i7-4930MX, which is an overclockable chip that Alienware gets up to 4.3GHz (it's 3.9GHz at stock).
While the last gen models only came with a single GPU setup, now you get dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M 2GB GPUs on even the cheapest configuration. A 1080p screen, 8GB RAM, and 750GB hard drive are also standard. Match these up with the new Core i7 and this configuration is blazing fast, to say the least.
If you want the best of the best model, they even separate that configuration out with the only options available being warranties and accessories. It has the Core i7-4930MX, 32GB of RAM, dual GTX 780M GPU's, and ditches the optical drive to make room for quad 256GB SSDs in RAID 0 configuration for a total of 1TB of SSD storage. All of this can be yours for the better-get-a-car-loan sum of $5,199.
But fear not, the much more reasonable configuration with dual GTX 765M's, 750GB hard drive, and 8GB RAM starts at $2,049, after coupon. While this is still a kingly sum for a laptop, when you consider the wealth of technology built into the Aliewnare 18 and the impressive standard load-out, the price tag seems much more reasonable.Check out the latest Alienware 18 deals & coupons from our friends at LogicBuy.

Lord Astor of Hever: My Lords, I thank both noble Lords who took part in this evening's debate. This Bill has received all-party support and I hope that your Lordships will give it a Second Reading this evening.
On Question, Bill read a second time, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time.
It is a short, practical and, I believe, eminently sensible Bill which is designed to help to motivate prisoners to get the most out of their sentences both for their own benefit and, perhaps more importantly, for the benefit of society in general.
The Bill was introduced in another place by my honourable friend the Member for Finchley, Mr. Hartley Booth. It passed through all its stages there with the support of all parties and, therefore, I hope that it may commend itself to your Lordships.
Prison has two main purposes: first, it must punish the offender, and it does that by depriving him of his liberty; but, secondly, it should help the offender to lead a more useful and law-abiding life on his release from prison, which is more difficult, but the Bill aims to encourage that.
This is a short Bill and is rather technical in its terms but its purposes and methods are quite clear. The method is to authorise deductions from or levies on a prisoner's earnings when he is undertaking certain kinds of work to which I shall refer; and to provide for the way in which those deductions or levies should be applied for various good purposes.
The two aims of prison tend to work against one another. Prison is an artificial environment and many of the normal responsibilities and decisions of life are removed from the prisoner. If he is to be encouraged to live a law-abiding and useful life after release, prison life should increasingly be made to reflect the realities of the outside world as much as possible. The prisoner must therefore be encouraged to feel a sense of responsibility for his actions.
The Bill aims to contribute to that process of encouragement. It does so by providing the means by which, in return for the privilege--and it is a privilege--of earning substantially higher wages than they would normally do in prison, prisoners will contribute to their own upkeep and that of their dependants; they will contribute to crime prevention; and, indeed, to victim support schemes. That is greatly to the advantage of prisoners. It will also enable savings to be made by prisoners through their work which will then be repaid to them on their release.
Under the Bill's provisions, prison governors are authorised to make deductions from the wages paid to a prisoner participating in what is known as an enhanced wages scheme. That scheme is different from the ordinary run of prison labour for which prisoners receive a very limited amount each week. Alternatively, prison governors can make levies on the wages of prisoners who are working for outside employers for real wages. The Bill further provides that the deductions or levies must be used for the purposes that I have mentioned.
I should just mention that under the Bill, if a prisoner is not satisfied with the deductions made by the governor, he has the right to appeal to the Secretary of State. That is a useful safeguard. Then, of course, the Secretary of State must do as one might expect and either confirm the governor's decision or vary it.
As I have indicated, the Prison Service already has some schemes in place upon which the aims of the Bill can be based--the so-called enhanced wages schemes. Those schemes now cover 1,300 prisoners. There are 54,000 prisoners in prison in England and Wales, so the project has not got very far as yet; but it may do so. In
Ordinarily, without the benefit of an enhanced wages scheme, a prisoner can be expected to be paid about £7 a week. However, under the scheme he or she can be paid from about £15 a week upwards, depending on productivity. I am told that the effects of the scheme on both output and motivation in the prisons where it has been practised have already been dramatically successful. In one workshop output trebled with the same number of workers.
The schemes are self-financing in that the extra pay is financed from the value of the extra output produced, and there is no extra cost to the taxpayer. Indeed, the taxpayer benefits from the scheme because the prisoner will be made--and this is one of the things that can be done by the deductions--to contribute to the cost of his being imprisoned.
There is also the pre-release employment scheme which enables some prisoners reaching the end of their sentence to work for outside employers at normal rates of pay on day release from prison. The Bill will provide a clear, legal framework for the deductions or levies which accompany those schemes.
I am willing to attempt to reply to any points that the noble Lord, Lord McIntosh, or my noble friend may raise on the matter. There is a great deal that I could say in introducing the Bill. Indeed, I could go through it clause by clause if your Lordships wished me to do so. However, as noble Lords have had the opportunity to read this short Bill, and bearing in mind the purposes which I mentioned and the method that I have described, I think that it might be better for me to leave any further comments that I have to my reply.
I should, however, just add this. Prison authorities will have to find more work for prisoners to do if the advantages of the Bill are to be obtained. It is crucial that this work should not be obtained at the expense of law-abiding jobseekers in the outside world and the wider community. That is why the Prison Service is increasingly looking for work in partnership with private sector firms rather than in competition with them. It is seeking out opportunities for import substitution or for particular processes or products where prison industries can meet a market need without affecting outside employment. In other words, there are some things that are needed in prisons which outside manufacturers just do not attempt to provide. There is an opportunity there.
With a prison population of over 54,000, if we can get a high proportion of them working productively, that will help in some small way to stimulate the economy and contribute to growth and hence to reduce unemployment. I hope your Lordships will agree that this Bill, though a small one, will have an all round benefit.
Moved, That the Bill be now read a second time.--(Lord Renton.)
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, as with the previous Bill, I preface my remarks by saying that Private Members' Bills are supported or otherwise in a personal capacity from this Dispatch Box. However, I have no hesitation in saying that I support the Bill and I welcome the initiative of the honourable Member for Finchley, and of the noble Lord, Lord Renton, in bringing it before Parliament. I note that Mr. Hartley Booth paid tribute to the work of the Howard League for Penal Reform and the Penal Affairs Consortium in the thinking and preparation of this Bill. That encourages me even further to support it.
I was relieved to hear the noble Lord, Lord Renton, describe the purpose of prison as being punishment which he defined as being loss of liberty and rehabilitation. There have been those in the Government who have had rather more retributive ideas of imprisonment. I am glad to see that the noble Lord, Lord Renton, adheres to the old, more liberal views of what prison is for. Of course it is undoubtedly true--everyone agrees with this--that the purpose of prison must be rehabilitation to a considerable extent. One of the best forms of rehabilitation--if we are to stop prisons being universities of crime--is for prisoners to have useful employment, and preferably employment which will be of value to them when they come out of prison. That, of course, is a particularly important element in prison employment and, as I understand it, in this Bill.
I am sure the noble Lord will agree that there are some constraints on what extra money can be earned by prisoners. I think most people would think it unreasonable if prisoners were able to earn more than those, for example, on job creation schemes, whose earnings consist of the dole plus a certain amount. That puts an upper limit on what it is possible to earn from prison earnings. There is also room for argument about the particular purposes for which the deductions might be used. Of course it is entirely reasonable that they should be used for victim support schemes, for example; but what about compensation to individual victims? It is usually assumed that prisoners do not have any resources to make compensation to individual victims. Would it not be worth considering whether the Bill should provide for compensation to individual victims as well as giving general support for victim support services?
The other constraint is that we have to ensure that those additional earnings are not used as a cost cutting exercise in the Prison Service. The noble Lord referred to the increase in the prison population in recent years. He will be as aware as we all are that in real terms the budgets of the Prison Service are being reduced to a considerable extent over the next three years; and we would not like to see prisoners' earnings used to cut costs in prisons. I do not believe that that is possible from the Bill. However, we should be clear that these are genuine extra earnings which are used genuinely for charitable or rehabilitative purposes.
Allowing for those constraints on the possible effects, the Bill is not a panacea either for the budgets, the Prison Service or the costs of victim support services. However, it is a useful measure and it has our support.
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, I intervene in the debate to assure your Lordships that the Government fully support the Bill. In doing so, I congratulate my noble friend Lord Renton on his excellent description of the Bill; and my honourable friend Dr. Hartley Booth.
Constructive work in prison can be shown to be helpful in reducing the risk of reoffending after release. It is essential to do what we can to improve the prisoner's prospects of getting a job outside prison. There is good research to suggest that work experience which leads to realistic job opportunities after release reduces reoffending rates. Along with having a stable home to go to, getting a job after release is the biggest single factor which separates ex-prisoners who avoid reoffending from those who do not.
But constructive work has the additional advantage for prisons that it actually brings income into the system. The noble Lord, Lord McIntosh of Haringey, commented on costs. Costs and deductions will go straight into the consolidated fund. Such work also increases the amount of beneficial activity in prison. It enhances its quality, and, properly managed, it will reduce the cost of providing it.
The key is getting more prisoners to work, and getting prisoners to work harder while they are at work. Prisoners are required to work when it is available, but coercion alone cannot make them work harder or more effectively. Nor will it generate the will to work which is such an important aspect of the rehabilitative value of work in prison. But experience shows that prisoners will work harder if there is a reasonable incentive.
It cannot be left simply at that. Prisoners do not have the same living expenses as other people. It would be wrong to enable them simply to accumulate money; and it would be wrong not to take advantage of the rehabilitative potential that constructive work can offer: work which requires prisoners to show responsibility for themselves and their dependants, and for the consequences of their crimes. The Bill establishes a sensible framework, with appropriate safeguards, to maximise all the benefit of the enhanced wages scheme in prisons.
This leads me to the other reasons for Government support for this Bill. The first of these are those which my noble friend set out. It will benefit a wide range of people and organisations. It will benefit voluntary organisations dealing with the effects of crime. It will benefit society at large. It will benefit the prisoner while in prison and after release.
We also support the Bill because it reinforces the ability of the Prison Service to do what both the Woolf Report, the Learmont Report, and HM Inspector of Prisons also said it should: to provide active, busy prisons in which prisoners can do purposeful work.
Thirdly, we support the Bill because it fits four square with what the Government believe prison regimes should be and do. We believe that prison regimes should not allow prisoners to be idle. They should make plain to the prisoner the value of hard work and working with others. They should enable the prisoner to make reparation to society. They should encourage the prisoner to take responsibility for his own actions, his own upkeep, and that of his dependants.
My noble friend asked about the number of people at present in the scheme. The suggested figure was 1,350. That is just the pilot scheme.
If it meets with your Lordships' approval, the Bill should go a long way towards achieving prison regimes of that kind. If I may say so, I believe that my honourable friend Dr. Hartley Booth has provided invaluable help to the Prison Service and the administration of justice by piloting the Bill so skilfully through its various stages elsewhere. I commend the Bill to your Lordships.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord McIntosh, for the support which he has given to the Bill and I also appreciated his comments. I ought to answer him on two points that he made. First, he referred to the desirability of compensation to individual victims. I agree with him. The position under the Bill is that, when the court has made an order that a victim should be compensated by the accused, there will be a deduction from the earnings of the accused in order to help towards the victim's compensation. So that point is covered.
The second important point that the noble Lord made was that there should be constraints on the amount of money that may be earned. I can assure him that, even under day release schemes as the prisoner's sentence comes towards its end, the amount that the prisoner can earn must be decided by the governor. The prisoner will not merely be able to make a free bargain with the employer. I do not believe that we need worry about other employees' wages being undercut by prisoners. As I understand it, what the Home Secretary and the prison authorities have in mind is that the enhanced earnings and pre-release earnings must be earned on schemes where prisoners do not compete with labour in our own employment market. They compete with importers. That is rather different. Alternatively, when nothing comes in by way of import nor is anything produced in our own factories it produces goods which are needed in the prisons. One prison found it necessary to get prison mugs made and managed to find an employer who was willing to embark on that under the enhanced earnings scheme. So I hope that will set the noble Lord's mind at rest.
I ask that your Lordships give the Bill a second reading and, in doing so, I wish to say how grateful I am for the support that it has received.
On Question, Bill read a second time, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House.

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
In my experience, the bittersweetness of goodbyes typically leans more bitter than sweet. I've been known to "ghost" out of social situations because I don't like official departures. It feels unnatural and icky and sad and weird and other adjectives that definitely don't equate to sweetness.
Recently, however, I actually wanted to give someone a proper toodle-oo, and it turned out to be quite sweet, quite literally.
A really lovely coworker from the more buttoned-up side of this company was moving on, and people were practically lining up to hug her goodbye because she is one of the most likable people on earth and her blood should be a vitamin we all have to take (oh my god, that came out horribly wrong).
When it was my turn for a hug, I got not only a good squinch, but a waft of a mindblowingly sultry fragrance.
"I'm not letting you leave until you tell me what perfume you're wearing," I said, looking up and pretending I could actually stop this Amazonian goddess from escaping if she really wanted to. Thankfully, she was more than happy to tell me.
"Malin + Goetz Dark Rum, girl."
"Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Girl?"
"No, girl, Malin + Goetz Dark Rum."
As soon as she was out of sight, I emailed Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz themselves to tell them that I need Dark Rum in my life and to thank them in advance for all of the future sexy times I will be having because of it.
Here's what makes it so freakin' seductive: "Top notes of bergamot and plum, middle notes of rum and leather, dry down of amber, patchouli, and milk."
Y'all, milk and prunes are erotic.
The warm, long-wearing eau de toilette is unisex, I think because no one can resist its lure. I'm almost scared to wear it, for fear that men will just start pelting me with balls of paper that have their numbers scribbled on them.
While I muster up the courage to start wearing it, if I manage to bring someone back to my apartment without having hypnotized him with this magic scent, I'll be using the Dark Rum Candle to set the mood. The sexy, sexy mood of sexiness.
I guess I'm going to have to get used to people wanting to hug me goodbye. And hello. And just because.

Salem Tabernacle is a Christian church that is filled with an incredibly diverse group of people who are discovering that Jesus is, in fact, able to open up this full life to us: life as God meant it to be!
It's so easy for life to become incredibly complicated. The demands of work and relationships have a tendency to wear us down, and often expose the fact that we don't have everything figured out. In John's gospel Jesus Christ said that his purpose was to give us "life in all its fullness."

SKOKIE — A group representing the Ku Klux Klan has asked for permission to hold a small rally in Skokie next month, village authorities said Tuesday.

The Daily Beast once called him the man that would succeed Mubarak.
Now, Amr Moussa, the 74-year-old former head of the Arab League, is on the leading edge of the push to oust Egypt's first democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi.
During last year's elections, Moussa came in fifth, likely seen as too close to departed president Hosni Mubarak, in whose government he served as foreign minister.
Instead, the people chose Morsi, who garnered nearly 52% of the vote. Gamel Nasser, Anwar Sadat , and Hosni Mubarak had pushed the Muslim Brotherhood into the shadows for more than 50 years. In the 2012 elections, they finally got the chance to rule.
These days, Moussa is a leader in Egypt's biggest opposition group, the National Salvation Front. He lends the organisation a seasoned political voice and a tremendous amount of legitimacy and political clout.
Before the planned demonstrations began, he urged the protesters to stay nonviolent, saying that if they remained peaceful "you shall prevail." On Tuesday the group announced that it "would not support a military coup."
In early June, well ahead of the planned June 30 protests that marked Morsi's first year in office, Moussa sat down with leaders from the ruling Muslim Brotherhood, which holds more than half of the seats in the legislature and of which Morsi is a part. He told them that the government needed to be more responsive to the needs of the people.
He reportedly said before the protests that June 30 would be the Muslim Brotherhood's last day.
And now, with the Muslim Brotherhood's offices ransacked, millions protesting in the streets, the military threatening to intervene in governance, Max Fisher at the Washington Post did a report on a joke that a Moussa spokesman likes to tell:
"Nasser, Sadat, and Mubarak all tried to get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood," the joke goes, "only Morsi succeeded."

Prada.com I realised I can be next season now as the bow front patent sandals on her runway are almost identical to a pair I bought from Miu Miu a decade ago.
This ongoing trend for "real" is worrying me. I need to put the word in speech marks because the way it is being bandied about in some quarters - not Prada, her expression of fashion now is genuine - is about as real as a bunch of plastic flowers. Real is an attitude, not a trend. What is real for some, is not for others. The trick is knowing what is real for you. But, hey, if it serves to remind consumers that the mortgage is due, and to pay off the credit card, maybe it is not such a bad thing.
You should watch the Prada show, what it lacks in drama (these are lovely clothes, not a Beckett play) it makes up for with haunting music. Miuccia chose to use a large swathe of the soundtrack to the 1987 movie Angel Heart, a film that makes my all-time top five. The part she used is taken from the conclusion of the film when Johnny Favorite/Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) realises he sold his soul to the devil and upon accepting who he really is (a dual-personality murderer), pays his debt with his life. Significant? I doubt it.
ANYWAY. Here are my personal top five Prada looks for AW10:

Hundreds of walkers get decked out in glowing lights and run over Arthur's Seat to illuminate the iconic landmark.
What was once a side show has become the biggest arts festival in the world. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival brings thousands of performers to the city to present "shows for every taste."
The festival, now in its 65th year, comes with a couple of annual traditions. Every year, hundreds of runners dress up in glowing lights and participate in a "mass choreographed act of walking and running over Arthur's Seat in the center of Edinburgh to illuminate the iconic landmark."

The Town of Paradise is launching the province's first-ever Paint the Pavement project. The project is aimed at building community spirit, encouraging artistic talent, and calming traffic through the use of large street murals.
Paint the Pavement initiatives are becoming increasingly popular amongst Canadian and U.S. communities as a means of bringing the attention of drivers to the road through the creation of large and colourful street murals. These murals also create neighbourhood pride as they showcase the talent of local artists and create pleasing visuals throughout communities.
The photo shows a Paint the Pavement initiative in Halifax, NS.
Through an open Call for Artists, Jennifer O'Brien-Strapp was selected to work with the students of three of Paradise's schools; Elizabeth Park Elementary, Paradise Elementary and Holy Family Elementary, to design and paint a pavement mural at select locations in the vicinity of local schools.
Incorporating ideas from the students, Jennifer has developed a design for each school. The students will join Jennifer to paint the actual designs. Painting is scheduled to take place the week of June 20, 2016. This project is weather dependent.
On the scheduled painting day, detours will be in place at 9:00 a.m. and before the end of the school day (please see photos below for routes). During the duration of this project, the public is asked to proceed with caution and to expect delays as students from each school will be assisting in the painting of road murals.

Let's try out this new off topic discussion forum then that's going to be under trial for a bit...
So I wondered what languages people on here can speak?
I'll start... just English and Finnish for me. Although I know a bit of French and German.
So let us know in the poll above how many languages you can speak pretty well. I.e. you could probably live in a country where that language is the main language without using any others.

Enjoy the photos. I hope to have photos of this years show up much earlier (perhaps even some as the show is ongoing).

Blockbuster signals a Russian revival
Russia's first homemade post-Soviet blockbuster movie hit, Night Watch, is selling more tickets in Moscow than American feature films like Spider-Man 2 and Troy.
The director and producer proudly acknowledge relying on time-tested Hollywood formulas to produce that rare result.
"It was a concept," the film's director, Timur Bekmambetov, said of the work encompassing bloody and dazzling special effects (all-Russian programmers and post-production, except sound), savvy demographics (Soviet-era actors cast alongside contemporary television stars) and a peculiarly Russian story based on a popular science-fiction trilogy by Sergey Lukyanenko.
Even some hard-to-impress Russian film critics, who tend to prefer weighty arthouse fare, are giving Night Watch a thumbs up.
"Quite witty, sufficiently bloody, beautiful and expensive," one Russian reviewer said. Others compared the film, the first of a planned trilogy, to The Matrix, Star Wars, even The Lord of the Rings.
The movie, set in modern Moscow, is a supernatural tale of a 1000-year-old battle between forces of good, or "light", and evil, or "dark". Each combatant has superhuman powers, but the free will to choose which side to join.
For its first 11 days in cinemas Night Watch took $US8.5 million ($12 million) in ticket sales, handily beating Spider-Man 2 with a total take of $US5.5 million at the box office, despite a week's head start. By last Tuesday, Night Watch's gross was only slightly less than the $US9.05 million for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
The average ticket price in Russia is 200 roubles, about $US7. Western films normally dominate Russia's box office. This summer's fare is typical, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Troy, The Day After Tomorrow and The Return of the King.
It is rare for a feature film made in Russia to break $US2 million to $US3 million in sales, partly because of spotty distribution. The country has only about 400 cinemas with just one screen, plus a few multiplexes. And films do not reach all the screens they could. With Night Watch, said Konstantin Ernst, the film's producer, "for the first time, we made sure to send out copies for distribution all over the country".
Movie executives say that Russian audiences are hungry for movies with familiar contexts and characters. "People got tired of seeing movies filmed in New York, which seemed exotic and which presented no context for their daily lives," Ernst said.
One success does not make a trend, but Night Watch is a sign Russian movie-making is reviving after almost 15 years of stagnation. As the Soviet Union collapsed, the state-run movie business nearly stopped making films. The government-financed distribution dried up. So moviegoers instead stayed home to watch mostly Western films on their VCRs.

With the recent release of Andy Ld from the Skeelz, all the clans now have their own legendary character and as a result, we are going to slightly modify the rate of return of the old Ld characters. From now on, there will be an Ld return every fortnight and missions will be available for two months, so that very quickly there will be 4 to 5 LDs permanently available. Moreover, players finishing a series of LD missions who already own the corresponding LD characters will continue to receive 10 credits.
10 credits ... all of a sudden those packs seem so much closer.
soooo much easier than 500 wins with a clan for 20 credits

@Wolfwitness--Not if you made it a 6/6 for one star.

Common cards are red
Uncommon cards are grey
Rare cards yellow
Legendary characters are purple
I propose hero cards come out and that they be orange, this would create a new surge of players and keep veteran players coming back, good for everyone.
Another suggestion of mine is come out with a clan that would have a wonderful bonus but be more expensive than other clans, making it a super-clan of sorts.

@Blagdraf - It would still be shaky, but also overpowered. Heck, he'd outclass majority of 2 and 3*s. And a fair bunch of 4*. And Gary.
Wow this must be really dissapointing to the la junta user's..... im talking to you naja ld
Leader ld please i already have idea's for the mission's
Name idea:Cable Ld
Team:15- opp attack min 10.
(if you lose the round with cable Ld the next round you will
1.Joining the rank's= win 10 fights with a leader in your deck
2.Feel the power = win 15 round's using a leader
3.Huge advantage = gain 50 life with a leader in your deck
4.First in command= win 100 fights with a leader in your deck
well thats it thanks
Rate Green so they can see this
I doubt we will see a leader ld but i like what wildebeast said but we can call them hero ancient etc. but i want blue instead of orange

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't want a Leader Ld.

If you want a Leader LD, this card should be a real legend. Working with all. I think of an ability that goes like this:
Team: Activate bonus.
Which means that the bonus for all cards is activated, regardless of clan availability. Sounds right for a Leader, no?
Clint City, day.

Allergy & Immunology Fellowship
The Allergy & Immunology Fellowship at the Feinberg School of Medicine is of three years duration, leading to certification in Allergy and Immunology. In addition to inpatient and outpatient rotations at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's), the A-I fellows rotate to Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) for three months of consultative inpatient and ambulatory training. Formal teaching programs include a joint weekly journal club with NMH in which a fellow and an attending physician critique pertinent articles on a rotating basis, a weekly didactic lecture on clinical or investigative aspects of allergic and immunologic disorders and a weekly conference at Lurie Children's that focuses on pediatric topics.
The A-I Division at Lurie Children's is an active tertiary referral center that receives a large number of patients with rare and challenging diseases as well as a large number of patients with common complaints. As a result, fellows in A-I have an outstanding opportunity to gain clinical management skills for both routine and unusual diseases. Our division has active clinical practices and research programs in many areas, but especially in the areas of food allergy, asthma, and immune deficiency.
Apply to the fellowship for positions in Internal Medicine or Pediatric Allergy & Immunology via the Electronic Residency Application Service.
