7 Charming Himalayan Cat Pictures
Sponsored link:
Dry meals has actually been an advised staple diet regimen for pet cats primarily 7 Charming Himalayan Cat Pictures by numerous specialists for a variety of years. It is a very easy alternative to leave a dish of completely dry meals out continuously; something that could not be done with tinned food. Unfortunately though, it's not a healthy food source as well as has actually been created by people making use of numerous ingredients as well as un-natural items. Pet cats, like people, will certainly consume till they fill themselves up. However, completely dry meals has many more calories and carbs compared to a natural food source, which leads to the pet cat absorbing much even more compared to required merely to really feel full-up. Numerous proprietors assume that their pet cat is merely money grubbing, yet in a lot of cases it is not the amount of meals being consumed, it is the quality.
Naturally, pet cats are obligate predators; meaning they only feed on various other pets. The pet cats prey however, are typically vegetarian and have various veggie as well as plant concern in their intestines. Every one of which, will be consumed by the pet cat. Domestic cats have actually been shown to have longer intestinal tracts than crazy pet cats; showing they have actually developed over hundreds of years to deal with even more plant as well as veggie concern (carbs). Still, this is no justification to transform a predator right into an omnivore. Rather, supplementing the diet with little amounts of carbohydrates is acceptable.
Many consumers believe that dried food is actually better for cats. The manufacturers have implemented the belief that these ingredients such as corn as well as grains are a fundamental part of a pet cat's diet regimen, implying 'the more the better' approach. Although extremely little quantities of these may benefit the cat, too much will be harmful to their health.
Renal disease is just one of, otherwise the most significant fantastic in pet cats. Renal condition is normally an outcome of absence of water as well as sadly, cats have a very low thirst drive. Although they may drink when eating dry food, they will typically only absorb fifty percent of the fluid required for their health. A pet cat's target product consists of around 75 % water, canned as well as raw meals have a comparable amount. Dry meals on the other hand normally have a max of 10 % water content. It is apparent for that reason, that tinned or raw meals are a downright should to keep a healthy and balanced cat.

Sex is like a sport in Australia, according to Robbie Williams, who says the country is blessed with some "cracking players".
But the bad news for any Aussie girl hoping to let him entertain her on a future tour Down Under is that the English pop singer says he's "loved up" with his wife after the recent arrival of their first child.
The 38-year-old, who's renowned for his cheeky humour and risqué on-stage behaviour, says trips to Australia allow him to push the boundaries.
"I love coming to Australia because it's encouraged, I'm given more rope in Australia," he told the Seven Network on Sunday.
"Sex is like a sport in Australia ... and what a cracking set of players you have over there."
Williams and his actress wife Ayda Field became parents for the first time last month with the arrival of Theodora Rose.
He said becoming a father was "unexplainable" but it had made him a better man.
"She came out and I went 'this is all I want to do, this makes sense, I want to be with her, I want to watch her grow, and I want to be daddy'."
In a wide ranging interview ahead of this week's release of his eighth studio album, Williams, who has been teetotal for 12 years, also touched upon his well-documented struggles with substance abuse.
"Unfortunately I'm a textbook addict," he said.
"I will use anything at all possible to change the way I feel."
He said that at his lowest ebb, although he never considered committing suicide, he didn't care whether he lived or died.
"There were moments where I didn't care if it ended (although) I don't think I was going to end it."
But Williams said he was now a very different person.
"I'm very content, I'm loved up, I've got a little girl I need to look after.
"I'm very pleased, honoured and happy to do that."
Williams' new album, Take The Crown, will be released on November 2.

REDD was proposed as an incentive for developing countries to reduce their national deforestation emissions in order to address a vital source of global emissions driving climate change.
The Governors' Climate and Forests Task Force (GCF), initiated by former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a collection of states and provinces in Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, Peru and the US that promote sub-national approaches to REDD+. GCF member states have the opportunity and the responsibility to address the major industrial drivers of forest destruction, and the GCF is well positioned to play an important role in convening and advising sub-national governments essential to the effort to halt deforestation. To date, however, the GCF has been more focused on creating sub-national REDD+ offsets for large industrial polluters in California than on promoting and adopting effective, people-centred forest protection policies among its members.
In this report, we first examine the misdirected sub-national REDD+ offset approach promoted by the GCF. This is followed by a preliminary examination of the State of Chiapas' REDD+ programme and an analysis of the problems of carbon forestry projects in the region. Finally, we provide recommendations as to how a redirected GCF could shift from an obstance to an ally in the battle to combat climate change and protect forests and forest people's rights.

Still Madd is rapper Madd Dogg's second album, released in 1990, two years before the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The album cover is based on Ice-T's O.G. Original Gangster (1991), while the album title may be a reference to Dr. Dre's song Still D.R.E.. This album may be a nod to the cutscene video after playing the mission, End of the Line, where Madd Dogg showed off his golden record to the Johnson family. The front cover of the album shows a Maverick landing on the roof of Madd Dogg's Crib.
In 1998, Still Madd is digitally remastered and released in a new cover that swaps the images of Madd Dogg and his crib on the album's front. This version album can be found in Comrades Bar, Hove Beach and in the South Bohan safehouse amongst a pile of CDs on the floor near the coffee table.

In the Nevada Museum of Art theatre a colorful crowd gawks at a slide show previewing art works from China, Israel, Canada, Holland, Africa and the Czech Republic.
Associate Director of Art Management for Burning Man, Beth Scarborough says 372 pieces of art will be on the flat white playa 120 miles north east of Reno.
"I think it is the biggest playground for art out there this year," says Scarborough. "It is the biggest, it is the brightest in a lot of ways, I think there is more opportunity for people to play with their creativity, to develop things, explore to enjoy and kind of get out there."
Places like the Generator, a large warehouse in Sparks, Nevada with free space for artists are cropping up and providing more building space for the large-scale art, says Scarborough.
The Burning Man festival runs through Labor Day.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama sits down this week with German Chancellor Angela Merkel under a cloud of disagreement over the way out of the global financial crisis and Germany's role in the U.S.-led Afghan war.
The Germans probably will stand pat on their refusal to increase troop strength significantly to the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Merkel's unusually harsh public criticism of U.S. financial policy appears to be driven by domestic politics — the chancellor's need to appear tough in advance of September elections.
Obama and Merkel, who arrives Thursday, are in a period of relationship building. She was particularly close to former President George W. Bush despite his administration's alienation from much of Europe over the U.S. war in Iraq.
Obama, who has promised to restore a multilateral, consultative approach to U.S. foreign policy, is wildly popular among Europeans, the German public in particular. He paid a visit to Berlin last summer and drew an estimated 200,000 people to a speech that he gave as a presidential candidate.
The German and American leaders already have met twice, at an April NATO summit in France and again early this month when Obama visited Buchenwald, the Nazi concentration camp, and Dresden, the German city firebombed by Allied forces near the end of World War II.
They are said to have been mutually impressed by the other's pragmatism and non-ideological view of the world, and that should make for a successful session Friday, despite inherent disagreements.
Iran was expected to sit high on the Obama-Merkel agenda. The chancellor has been tough on the Islamic regime for its crackdown on demonstrators who believe the June 12 election was stolen from reformist presidential challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi.
And the German government voiced support for Obama's most recent response to the unrest, in which he condemned regime attacks on protesters and declared himself "appalled and outraged by the threats, the beatings and imprisonments of the last few days."
A senior German official said Obama's statements Tuesday were "in agreement" with his government's expectations. The official was among a group of government representatives who briefed reporters in advance of the Merkel visit. They spoke anonymously to outline German expectations more freely.
On Afghanistan, differences probably will be papered over. The Germans are expressing gratification over Obama's new policies there, applauding his greater emphasis on nation-building and development assistance for the deeply backward country. U.S. officials are believed to have given up on getting more German help in the war, beyond Berlin's recent agreement to send four AWACS surveillance planes and temporarily deploy 300 troops associated with the mission.
Mark Medish, who worked in the National Security Council of President Bill Clinton, said the U.S. handling of the recent change of command in Afghanistan actually showed the Europeans that Washington has given up on seeking greater NATO participation in the fight.
"It's one of the great unreported stories," said Medish, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
He said the United States did not consult its NATO partners when Obama decided to replace Gen. David McKiernan with Gen. Stanley McChrystal as commander of the U.S.-led NATO operation in Afghanistan.
"The way the McChrystal appointment was handled showed the Europeans he is not really counting on them," Medish said.
On the global financial crisis, the German briefers said Merkel will be looking for agreement on an "exit strategy," a means of moving toward long-term fixes of the global regulatory system and away from short-term crisis management.
Merkel earlier in the year criticized Obama's decision to throw money at the problem in the U.S. as a rescue measure while paying less attention to improving the regulatory system that let the crisis run out of control in the first place. Obama successfully fought off a European attempt in April to create a super-regulatory body.
"I think they are shooting to be able to come out into the Rose Garden after their meeting and tell the world that there is nothing to all the talk of trouble between them," said Jackson Janes of the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies.
He dismissed as "hogwash" speculation that the two leaders don't like one another.
Janes said Obama stood to benefit greatly from the Merkel meeting as he heads to Moscow early next month for meetings with President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
"She has a lot of clout with the Russians. She can give him her thoughts on Russian vulnerability. She knows Putin and Medvedev," Janes said, predicting that Obama would be pressing not only on arms control but, more urgently, for Russian help in reining in Iran and its nuclear ambitions.

One of Marvel's key characters who continues to come up in conversations about future Marvel Studios projects is of course, Black Panther, the King of Wakanda known as T'Challa. Alongside Iron Fist, Black Panther is another Marvel license that has been in development hell for years, moving from studio to studio and having talent attached, but never going anywhere.
Another of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's incredible creations, Black Panther has served as a member of The Avengers and the Fantastic Four, representing the first black superhero in mainstream comics. As of today, he's one official step closer to getting his well-deserved big screen debut.
Heat Vision has the scoop that Marvel Studios has hired Mark Bailey to pen the script for Black Panther. Bailey may be an unknown to you, as his credits only include writing/story-editing positions on a few documentaries, but this indicates to me that he must have some great idea to offer the studio to have landed the writing gig and we at least know he can bring a realistic take on the character in his story.
It was only a matter time before Marvel began moving forward on Black Panther. Comic Book legend Stan Lee and Marvel Pres Kevin Feige have repeatedly stated that this was a character they wished (and planned) to pursue, alongside the likes of Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Dr. Strange. And now that Marvel is about to introduce Captain America and Thor to the world, it's that time to start moving forward on their second tier characters.
Black Panther is a character I'd love to see show up in an after-the-credits cameo in The Avengers and as a future member of the team. Should Marvel pursue some sort of Civil War-esque story in the future, T'Challa is an integral character in the dynamic between Iron Man and Captain America. More importantly, the character and his backstory, let alone the beautiful setting of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, allows Marvel to create a very unique and special superhero film.
Could previously rumored and interested Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje or Djimon Hounsou still be contenders for the title role? Who would you cast as T'Challa?
Share your thoughts in the comments and with us on Twitter @rob_keyes and @screenrant.
The Avengers is scheduled to debut May 4, 2012 and we'll let you know what comes next.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
Hint: Window display lighting doesn't quite measure up
Find the Answer
Our three winners this month were: Timothy Adkins, owner, Adkins Electrical Service, Alum Creek, W.Va.; Doug Bress, president, Florida East Coast Contractors, Rockledge, Fla.; and Joseph R. Branham, vice president, Branham Electric Corp., Chesapeake, Va. They all pinpointed a few violations with this severely corroded box.
Corrosion of the junction box allows access to the energized conductors inside.
As per 314.15, "In damp or wet locations, boxes, conduit bodies, and fittings shall be placed or equipped so as to prevent moisture from entering or accumulating within the box, conduit body, or fitting. Boxes, conduit bodies, and fittings installed in wet locations shall be listed for use in wet locations." A second Informational Note in this section adds, "For protection against corrosion, see 300.6."
The junction box needs to be a minimum for 3R but, depending on where it is located, may be required to be a 3S or 3X. Section 110.28 states that enclosures "shall be marked with an enclosure-type number as shown in Table 110.28."
Also, enclosures within the reach of pedestrian traffic are required to be locked by some means. As you can see in the photo, the securing means is not present on the lower latch.
As per 110.27, "Except as elsewhere required or permitted by this Code, live parts of electrical equipment operating at 50V or more shall be guarded against accidental contact by approved enclosures …".
And, of course, reliable grounding/bonding through any corroded material is impossible.

Debi from That Might Look Good on a Card
Hi! My name is Debi and I'm so happy to be Guest Designing for Crafting by Designs. I've been making cards for about 10 years and 5 years ago I started my blog, Thatmightlookgoodonacard.blogspot.com . I wanted to be able to enter challenges and maybe join a design team. When it comes to card making, fancy folds are my favorites. When I'm not wearing the marks off my paper cutter (I'm on my 5th one!), you may find me baking, reading, attending my grandsons' sporting events, and, in the evening, the crochet hook keeps my hands busy as I watch/listen to TV with my wonderful husband of 35 years.
The card I am sharing with you today is a very special one for a very special person in my life, my Godmother. She recently celebrated her 90th birthday. Found on pinterest, there was no tutorial or name for this particular card fold. I ruined several sheets of paper before I got the measurements to work. I used several dies, a few cricut cuts, a stamp that was a magazine freebie, dry embossed the numbers, heat embossed the sentiment, added pearls here and there and finished it off with a bow. I'm sure Catherine will love it!
Now it is over to you to show us something special!
You have until 23 May 2017 to add your project.

Does Depp's Tonto upgrade a stereotype?
Just in time for the birthday of the nation that was founded on the decimation of its native inhabitants, Johnny Depp leaps onto 3,700 theaters across the United States as Tonto, that mothballed stereotype of American Indians, in Disney's theatrical reboot of "The Lone Ranger."
Hi-yo, controversy!
Or not. Last year the president of the nonprofit group Americans for Indian Opportunity adopted Depp into her family and tribe as a gesture of good will. The film's Comanche consultant endorses the final product. Depp says his great-grandmother was Cherokee, or Creek, or something, and promised to "reinvent" the character of Tonto for 21st-century moviegoers.
So no big deal, right?
Yes and no, says Paul Chaat Smith, associate curator at the National Museum of the American Indian and author of "Everything You Know about Indians Is Wrong."
"It's more important to us than it should be," he says. "I don't know what other minority group takes so personally or invests so much of their hopes in a commercial vehicle. I used to think it's a bad thing and I just wanted us to get over it and say, 'Christ, it's just a movie. Have fun or don't see it or whatever.' But it does then become a conversation -- the amount of calls the museum is getting about ["The Lone Ranger"], for example -- and therefore it's an opportunity to advance the conversation."
Volume and visibility are hallmarks of a summer blockbuster. So when an A-list movie star represents a people who still feel unseen and unheard by the rest of the country, does it matter that he's using that affected, halting Tonto accent?
How seriously do we ponder the kernels of truth (and fiction) inside the buttery popcorn?
"The bottom line is that Tonto is probably the only Indian that a lot of Americans are going to meet," says Theodore Van Alst, who directs Yale College's Native American Cultural Center and has studied the depiction of Indians in film.
Which is part of the reason that the first "Lone Ranger" publicity photos landed with a thud on the Internet when they were released more than a year ago. The consensus was that Depp's hair and makeup -- inspired by the work of a non-Native painter -- were a blend of stereotypes, and creepily derivative of his Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean." Such images confine Indians to history or the imagination rather than establish them in day-to-day America, says Adrienne Keene, who has written critical pieces about the pre-release publicity of "The Lone Ranger" on her blog Native Appropriations.
"It starts to feel even more like blackface, more like a costume, like masking the race," says Keene, 27, a Harvard University PhD student who's researching Natives and the college application process. "Even if the image had been authentic, I think it still would've made me uncomfortable. Because then it's 'authentic to what'? To what time period? To what community?"
From the earliest days of each medium, cinema and television cemented a certain characterization of Native Americans. Cecil DeMille directed three different versions of "The Squaw Man" -- about a Native woman who marries a British aristocrat and commits suicide -- between 1914 and 1931. John Ford's westerns depicted the American frontier as a manifest destiny for honorable white settlers in the '30s, '40s and '50s, while "The Lone Ranger" established the notion of the Indian as a sidekick, first on the radio in 1933 and then on TV from 1949 through 1957 with Jay Silverheels in the role of Tonto.
A half-century later, with blow-'em-up action producer Jerry Bruckheimer steering the project, Tonto isn't even played by a Native actor; one would argue that there aren't any who could carry a $200-million-plus movie and its inevitable sequels. Though Yale's Van Alst offers Adam Beach, star of 1998 independent movie "Smoke Signals" and Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers," as the likeliest candidate.
"There are very few popcorn movies where Native people are represented onscreen, [and] there's no contemporary portrayals," Van Alst says. "It's always 1890 and if you don't look like Graham Greene coming down the plains in full war bonnet, you're not a real Indian."
This "Lone Ranger" begins and ends in a flash-forward, with an elderly Tonto installed in a carnival diorama behind a sign that reads "The Noble Savage." Yet the rest of the movie clearly portrays the white man as the savage: Railroad barons violate treaties, prospectors seize land and pillage minerals, and the Indians shake their heads and try to minimize the damage and conflict.
"The creative choices made Tonto -- one of the most famous sidekicks in the history of sidekicks -- the center of the movie, and demoted the white hero on his white horse into Tonto's less-skilled, less-bright, less-brave, less-everything sidekick," emails Paul Chaat Smith, the museum curator, after seeing the movie last week. "So all the things I don't like about 'The Lone Ranger' -- the loudness, the slapstick humor, the kitchen-sink treatment of history, the deranged mood swings, making Tonto Comanche, moving Texas to New Mexico -- they can be seen as requirements to fill multiplexes in service of the larger goal, which could be to make an Indian character a Hollywood superstar."
Such exposure may prompt the public to explore the real-life issues and achievements of present-day Native peoples, says LaDonna Harris, the founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity who arranged Depp's adoption into the Comanche tribe -- a common gesture of good will and inclusiveness. (The Crow Nation adopted then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008.)
"There were a lot of complaints that he could've been [played by] an Indian, true, but then it wouldn't have gotten the visibility that Johnny Depp could give it," says Harris, who lives in Albuquerque. "I think there hasn't been enough change and ability to have more knowledge about Native Americans because of the way we're incorporated in the history books.. . . We don't study American history. We study Europeans coming to the Americas."
This unreconciled history dehumanizes an entire people and hollows out a space in the public consciousness that is then filled with stereotype, Van Alst says. The culture creates a character like Tonto, or a mascot like the Redskins, which two out of three Washingtonians say should remain the name of the football team. Exposure to such mascots has a harmful impact on American Indian students' feelings of personal and community worth, according to a 2008 study titled "Of Warrior Chiefs and Indian Princesses" and published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology.
What about exposure to Johnny Depp as a Comanche, in a performance that seems to both bolster and dismantle the Tonto stereotype?
This remains to be seen, but perhaps a better question to ask is: What films are being made by American Indians with American Indians about contemporary American Indians?
Van Alst points to the filmmaking community in Albuquerque, whose collaborative dynamic reminds him of Paris during the Nouvelle Vague. And for those who would rather not pay $10-plus to see an 80-year-old, cowboys-and-Indians story in a multiplex this week, he has recommendations of up-and-coming Native directors to check out: Steven Paul Judd, Melissa Henry, Blackhorse Lowe, Brian Young, Trevino Brings Plenty, Jeff Barnaby and Jason Asenap.
"Look, at the end of the day this is a grand opportunity, for not only Comanches but also Indian country in general," Asenap wrote about "The Lone Ranger" last year on Indian Country Today Media Network. "As an independent filmmaker, I welcome the notion that Depp will now keep in mind his new Comanche family and additionally, who knows, maybe he can make contributions in some way to Native film. Stranger things have happened."

Green Lighting Now Available in Chinese
My recent book Green Lighting has just been translated into Chinese, for sale in China and for those around the world who prefer to read in that language.
This seems especially fitting, since so much of the lighting products used everywhere are made in China. (I remember one source told me he estimates 90% of all lighting products come from there.)
If you haven't picked up the text I co-wrote with Seth Leitman and Bill Brinsky yet, it's an overview of green lighting technologies. Since the biggest part of lighting's footprint is the energy it consumes, we spend the majority of our pages on how to reduce that, from better technologies (CFLs, cold cathode CFLs, LEDs) to low-voltage lighting and smarter strategies, from task lighting to daylighting.
We also spend some time taking a more holistic approach to lighting, considering the relative toxicity of the components (yes, we have a lot on mercury, but not just that), their lifecycles, recycling, and even funky fixtures made of upcycled things like been cans. We also looked at future and emerging lighting technologies, from solar-powered units to OLEDs.
I actually don't know if any other foreign language editions are planned, but this is an exciting step toward a brighter future around the world!

getcwd, get_current_dir_name, getwd − Get current working directory
#include <unistd.h> char *getcwd(char *buf, size_t size); char *get_current_dir_name(void); char *getwd(char *buf);
The getcwd() function copies the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the array pointed to by buf, which is of length size.
If the current absolute path name would require a buffer longer than size elements, NULL is returned, and errno is set to ERANGE; an application should check for this error, and allocate a larger buffer if necessary.
As an extension to the POSIX.1 standard, getcwd() allocates the buffer dynamically using malloc() if buf is NULL on call. In this case, the allocated buffer has the length size unless size is zero, when buf is allocated as big as necessary. It is possible (and, indeed, advisable) to free() the buffers if they have been obtained this way.
get_current_dir_name, which is only prototyped if __USE_GNU is defined, will malloc(3) an array big enough to hold the current directory name. If the environment variable PWD is set, and its value is correct, then that value will be returned.
getwd, which is only prototyped if __USE_BSD is defined, will not malloc(3) any memory. The buf argument should be a pointer to an array at least PATH_MAX bytes long. getwd does only return the first PATH_MAX bytes of the actual pathname.
NULL on failure (for example, if the current directory is not readable), with errno set accordingly, and buf on success.
chdir(2), free(3), malloc(3).

I am learning a little more about the blogging community. While there are "Official Bloggers" for FGS, it seems that all bloggers are encouraged to participate in activities. In fact, there was a list of all geneabloggers who are attending the FGS conference in the FGS Conference Blog a couple of days ago. Can you imagine? Almost 50 bloggers were listed! I'm looking forward to putting names and faces with blogs. (Those little photos don't always work for me.)
As a new blogger (I started my blog 2 months ago, after SCGS Jamboree), I am beginning to understand how bloggers and conference organizers work together. While I don't think I'll be blogging during sessions, it's nice to know that there will be a place to charge computer batteries (if necessary) and meet with other bloggers. Thank you, conference planners. I'll see all of you next week.

Qualification dropouts Larsen and Metter come back strong as U23 lucky losers
The Americans, at their first international event, had to wait until the last second to see if Nigeria would show. The African team was stuck in customs at the airport and for long it was not clear if they would get a visa.
"We did not know what was happening till the coin toss, if we were playing or not", Larsen explained. "But we came ready to play no matter what happened. I think that really helped us, that we were thinking about playing."
Metter: "We were a little disappointed about losing in qualification, but it's better to be reserve than nothing, we took our chances and we got here today and we just came ready to go, like we were going to play anyway. We had a 75 percent of getting in and we got the shot."
Not only did the girls get to play, they defeated the number one seeded Polish team Gruszczynska/Baran on centre court while they were at it. Gruszczynska won the U21 in Umag last year with Katarzyna Kociolek, but neither that or the home advantage prevented the Americans from winning 2-0 (25-23, 21-12).
"We came out just so pumped and so excited to play and that translated in our game", Larsen reflected. "We worked really hard and kept fighting and we ended up on top."
In their second match of the day they booked another straight win (21-16, 21-10) against the Finnish team Lahti/Parkkinen. Metter: "We were passing well, setting well and just giving each other good calls. Kelley's blocking was awesome, it was easy to play defence behind."
"It was a great day", Larsen concluded, "especially coming of not knowing if we are going to be in it and beating the number one seed and taking care of business on this court too, against Finland. So that was big for us and we are super pumped and we will get some sleep and food and be ready for tomorrow."
Polish lucky losers not so lucky
In the men's competition Polish team Kacper Kujawiak and Dawid Popek were also put on the reserve lucky loser list after five qualification teams already got in as lucky losers. Kujawiak and Popek were to stand in for the Nigerian men's team. And they did, also at the last moment.
"I was very happy", Popek said. "This is a big chance for us. Yesterday we played quite good against Denmark, but lost, so we wanted another chance. They gave us a 70 percent chance. Waiting was difficult but we wanted to play really bad."
But unlike the American girls they were not able to make a mark in main draw. The Polish lost 2-1 (21-18 ,19-21, 15-10) to Brazil's 3rd seeded Allison/Guto Carvalhaes and also 2-1 (19-21, 21-15, 15-13) against Swiss team G.Kissling/Beeler.
They did have chances of winning in both matches. "But our side-out was not good", Popek said. "Also, this was our first event together and we are both defenders so there was a lot of adjusting. But we will try to keep playing our best and see what we can do."

Irish Government Moves Into The Digital Age By Treating Everything Like Paper
from the progress,-eh?-not-sure-I'm-familiar-with-that-term... dept
Updating laws for the digital age is hard. Apparently. Maybe it's just a government problem. After all, an entity that generally moves at the speed of a narcoleptic sloth and with the grace of an ocean liner can't be expected to turn on a dime and start bureaucratizing like it's 1999.
The Irish government is currently in the process of updating its Freedom of Information laws, and from the looks of what's surfaced so far, it's attempting to legislate itself back to the mid-1970s.
Section 17 (4) (b) in particular contains the following restriction on how much freedom you can expect your information to have.It's almost as though someone caught the government inadvertently dragging itself into the digital age and ordered the Efficiency Committee to take a long look at the bill's wording and see if there wasn't some excess efficiency that couldn't be streamlined out.
"[T]he FOI body shall take reasonable steps to search for and extract the records to which the request relates, having due regard to the steps that would be considered reasonable if the records were held in paper format..."
This then is the yardstick by which 'reasonable' action shall be based. You only have to do it if it was reasonable if everything was printed out and you had only paper to work with.
Query a database? Sure, it might only take a moment to use the search box. But if I had to print it all out and go through it by hand, that would be an unreasonable demand. So, no.
If this bill passes, FOI requests in Ireland will be treated as if the government is putting its best men (and women) on it, even if it's really just a bored intern running some surface-level searches. Sure, Ted the lazy but relatively competent, unpaid intern may be able to access the appropriate documents and spit them out of the nearest laser printer in 5-10 minutes, but in doing so, has completely undercut the nearly-universal governmental tendency to add extra steps to processes and racking up amazing amounts of man-hours/woman-hours.
The Irish government is rooted in years of tradition ("rooted" being the key) -- as it always was, so shall it always be. This purity will be maintained even if it means carving out alternate realities with creative legislation.

Chippewa deer case deadline set for next week
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Chippewa tribal commission has until mid-week to respond to state wildlife officials' demand to block tribal hunters from going after deer at night.
The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission on Wednesday authorized tribal hunters to hunt deer after dark across much of northern Wisconsin beginning Monday.
The Department of Natural Resources says night deer hunting is too dangerous. The agency asked U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb on Wednesday to block the authorization, triggering an automatic five-day period for the commission to respond. That makes Nov. 28 the deadline.
DNR officials say they hope Crabb will schedule a hearing before then. They've asked tribal leaders not to issue any night hunting permits until the matter is settled, but a GLIFWC spokeswoman says night hunting is justified.

Researchers from the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago say older people are more likely to believe in god. They assert this to be true unilaterally throughout the world. Per the article:
Across the world, people have varying levels of belief (and disbelief) in God, with some nations being more devout than others. But new research reveals one constant across parts of the globe: As people age, their belief in God seems to increase. The new study is based on data collected as part of the General Social Survey by researchers at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago.... "This suggests that belief in God is especially likely to increase among the oldest groups, perhaps in response to the increasing anticipation of mortality."...."Belief in God has decreased in most countries, but the declines are quite modest, especially when calculated on a per annum basis," the researchers write in their April 18 report of the survey....."If the modest, general trend away from belief in God continues uninterrupted, it will accumulate to larger proportions and the atheism that is now prominent mainly in northwest Europe and some ex-Socialist states may spread more widely," they write, adding that it is possible the trend could go the other way, with belief in God seeing a rebound.

Besides being afraid of death, I've heard the possible explanation that when a person gets older, they have so much time and resources invested, that it's hard to change, even though they may see more flaws in the belief. Also, if you're a leader in the church, it's going to be an embarrassment to admit you were wrong for so many years, and have the people that know you think you've went over to the satanic side.
Personally, I have a hard time understanding those viewpoints. I was brainwashed so thoroughly, that it, took me about 60 years to see religion was false, but when I did, my fear of death decreased to zero. My family are greatly disappointed in me, but I've always loved truth, and can no longer pretend I believe, no matter the cost.
I would think this would be a hard study to do and be objective. For example here in Canada, back in the '80s we had a 97% christian population compared to 77% in 2011. My question would be, where do they find "older people" who never had religion...ever? Stats may be different in 50 years when we have a larger population of seniors who never believed in the 1st place (right from childhood).
Gosh! I don't see that happening for me. The farther away I get from superstition the happier I become. Of course that could be I have no great responsibilities now that my family is grown, and I enjoy my children more than I ever have, with the grandkids and great-grandkids just frosting on the cake. I have no problem at all with the concept of something came from nothing and evolved into this incredibly magnificent planet with humans doing all they can to destroy it.
The institutions of our culture, i.e. family, church, education, medicine, economics and politics have never seemed to be able to work together for the benefit of all the people of the world. Never have so many worked so hard for the benefit of so few.
The production of our culture opens up the world to us where we can go to conferences sitting in our comfortable chairs, and tour great museums and read books of our choosing. We can even read and talk about socialism and perform work that benefits our families and neighbors.
No, I think religion is on the decline and the sooner the better, as far as I am concerned. We don't have to have a church to have community, we can just harvest a bunch of produce from our gardens, put them in a wheelbarrow and go around the neighborhood giving away my produce and accepting their oversupply. Thankfully, one neighbor grows zucchini, another has different kinds of tomatoes, so by the end of the day, we have fresh fruits and vegetables, refreshing conversations, and shared community chores. We all watch the kids from birth to fledging, and then watch the next generation come back for visits. We sit with one another when one of us goes through the process of dying and we celebrate their lives, even as they return to the earth. Our cats and dogs and ducks and chickens, birds, squirrels and mice continue to entertain and we all celebrate their gifts to us when they die, even as we watch the next generations of critters come into our lives.
Religion rebound? Why? What is the point? Who cares? What does it matter? We are honest and kind and caring and helpful and generous with each other without god or some unknowable, unseeable, unhearable, untouchable delusional element.
When I was beaten, no god answered my prayers, or church community stood between me and my abuser. Rather they gave me imperatives: submit, yield, turn the other cheek, pray, acquiesce. Sick! Sick! Sick!
When I was hungry no god or church community provided food for me and my children.
When I was homeless no god or church community put a roof over our heads or invited us in.
What did work for me was to run away, go to a local grocer and trade labor for food.
The good news is shedding all the old bromides, the old traditions and customs, refusing to submit to destructive values, and opening doors of possibilities. I had no role to live down to; I had no guilt sitting on my shoulders weighting me down. I had no preacher or god-believer turning my brain into mush.
So, what would I or anyone gain by going religious in our old age?
Well said Joan!
At 60 I've never had religion as part of my life and never will.
I agree with Joan. I didn't fully come OUT as an atheist until maybe three or four years ago, and I was, for the large portion, an apatheist before that. I find myself buoyed by the words of people like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, and of course, the incomparable Christopher Hitchens, who have given verbal definition to attitudes I have held in one form or another, but never thought to express as they did. I look back on my 30-plus years as an engineer, at the rationality expressed in its means and methods and cannot help but notice that religion enjoys no such reinforcement and never will.
And I find that death is nothing to fear or be intimidated by, that the final loss of consciousness I will one day experience will be no more daunting than my nightly excursion into sleep ... except that I mean to enjoy the days that I have and can share with my wife for as long as I can.
Religion has neither purpose nor place in my life, FULL STOP.
I like those fellows, too. They clearly state their positions and rationale. They don't pussy-foot around or try to sound nice; they do feed my anger, but that is a good thing for me because of decades of suppression. I won't be angry for ever. Hopefully I will become wiser.
Being an engineer may offer a concept or scaffold upon which to build a concept of no-evidence-of-god. Learning a little about physics, geology, and the scientific methods, observation, and testing, made more sense than the confusing, contradictory, hypocritical evidence I experienced from teachings and practices of religion.
Also, understanding life is energy and energy changes, especially with organic life, it is easy to see death as a process; the only time and place we have is now. So if I want to be happy, or healthy, or love, or be loved, or wise, or whatever, I have to do it now.
One other reason I feel less of a need for religion in my life and suspect a growing proportion of the population perceives less need is that religious values underlay the harm done to women, GLBT, people of color, other races, creeds, and cultures. Being defined as "other", historically, profoundly impacts people' lives. Emotional wounds, although unseen, matter.
A spiritual nature exists, as when looking at a newborn, or grieving the loss of a loved one, or knowing grinding poverty exists side by side with extreme wealth, but these are not religious, they are more a sense of wonder. Is there a word for that? "Full of wonder", perhaps? or "wonderful". No, there is a better word for the feeling one gets when filled with awe or grief.
Dan, right on topic as far as I am concerned. Natural processes have a kind of equality or indifference to them. A storm rips trees of poor and wealthy. Of course, it is more difficult for a poor person to recover and access to resources often are not there, but the strength, power, ingenuity, inventiveness and imagination of some poor folks can be awesome.
Natural indifference is why I don't fear most natural processes, but am afraid of what people can do to each other.
I've always found beauty in natural things, and none in most man-made things.

It hadn't escaped the Royalist's attention that there may be several crude variations on epically named Cressida Bonas's last name, and now, thanks to that bastion of tabloid journalism the Sunday People, it emerges that Cressida is known as Bonne Ass by her friends thanks to her enviable derriere.
This, alone, is reason enough to throw out the Leveson report.
According to the People, the nickname is 'hated' by Cressdia "and she has asked pals to stop using it".
In other young royal romance news, Harry flew to Lesotho in southern Africa today, but, according to reports, he won't be staying on for the Branson wedding at which Cressida will be a guest.

NAIA Football Players of the Week - No. 9 (Oct. 28)
By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Clarence Clark of Baker (Kan.) is named the NAIA Football National Special Teams Player of the Week; Zach Dolph of Saint Xavier (Ill.) is tabbed as the NAIA Football National Defensive Player of the Week and Matt Westerkamp of Robert Morris (Ill.) is recognized as the NAIA Football National Offensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Monday. The trio was chosen for their performances during the week of Oct. 21 – 27 and each was selected from a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Clark, a freshman kicker from Phoenix, Ariz., made two of the biggest kicks in Baker history to seal the Wildcats 13-10 upset victory over then-No. 6 Missouri Valley. Clark nailed a career-long 59-yard field goal to knot the game at 10-10 in the fourth quarter and then put one through the uprights from 52 yards out for the game-winning score in overtime. The freshman, who also sees time at wide receiver, has over 500 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns on the season. But this week his right foot was the difference, pushing Baker into a three-way tie for second place in the Heart of America Athletic Conference standings (5-1-0). Clark currently ranks among the top 10 nationally in total field goals (5th, 9), total scoring (5th, 93 points), scoring per game (6th, 11.6 points) and field goals per game (6th, 1.1).
Dolph, a senior linebacker from Crest Hill, Ill., set a Saint Xavier single-game record with 23 tackles in the Cougars 12-6 win over William Penn (Iowa). The senior had five solo tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and .5 sacks in the victory, leading a Cougar defense that did not allow a touchdown and held William Penn to just 199 yards of total offense. With this week's victory Saint Xavier moves to second in the Mid-States Football Association Midwest League (3-1) behind Grand View (Iowa) (4-0). On the season, Dolph leads the Cougars in tackles (85) and is among the top three on the team in solo tackles (2nd, 29), tackles for a loss (3rd, 5.5), sacks (2nd, 3), fumbles forced (2nd, 2) and interceptions (2nd, 1). Nationally, Dolph is among the NAIA leaders in tackles per game (11th, 10.6) and fumbles forced per game (16th, .3). With this week's selection, Dolph becomes the second player to earn multiple Player of the Week awards in 2013. Austin Dodge of Southern Oregon was the first to accomplish the feat, winning his second award on Oct. 21. Dolph's selection also makes Saint Xavier the second program to have three Players of the Week this season (Southern Oregon). Spencer Nolan earned the third honor on Sept. 30 after tying a Saint Xavier single-game record with five field goals.
Westerkamp, a junior quarterback from Lombard, Ill., completed 21-of-29 passes to lead Robert Morris to a 28-24 upset victory over then-No. 4 Saint Francis (Ind.). The quarterback threw for 177 yards and three touchdowns in the contest, capping the game with a 67-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter. On that drive, Westerkamp connected with wide receiver Deshawn Weaver for the game-winning 17-yard touchdown with 33 seconds left on the clock. The victory brings Robert Morris to 2-2 in the Mid-States Football Association Mideast League, keeping the Eagles playoff hopes alive. Westerkamp currently ranks among the NAIA leaders in total passing yards (15th, 1,704), pass efficiency (19th, 139.6), total offense (20th, 1,754 yards), passing yards per game (26th, 189.3) and total offensive yards per game (35th, 194.9).

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron demanded on Tuesday that newspaper bosses urgently come up with an effective system of self-regulation following a damning inquiry into the reporting practices of Britain's scandal-hungry press.
The behaviour of Britain's cut-throat tabloid media has come under intense scrutiny in recent years as journalists resorted to increasingly intrusive tactics to break salacious stories about people's lives to shore up falling circulation figures.
Last week a judge who oversaw the year-long inquiry triggered by a phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch's British media empire called for a new legislation-backed watchdog to police the sometimes "outrageous" behaviour of the press.
That infuriated press barons who have lobbied frantically against the recommendation, saying any involvement of the law in press regulation would amount to state control and an attack on Britain's centuries-old traditions of free speech.
Cameron is himself against statutory regulation, but, keen to be seen as taking a tough stance on the excesses of Britain's notoriously aggressive tabloids, said on Tuesday industry bosses had to act fast to get their house in order.
"They've got to do it in a way that absolutely meets the requirements of Lord Justice Leveson's report," Cameron said after a meeting with editors and industry representatives.
"That means million-pound fines, proper investigation of complaints, prominent apologies, and a tough independent regulatory system. And they know, because I told them, the clock is ticking for this to be sorted out."
The public was enraged when it emerged that staff at Murdoch's newspapers routinely hacked into people's phones, including that of missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler, who was later found dead.
Subsequent hearings also embarrassed Cameron by exposing his cosy ties to Murdoch executives, including former top lieutenant Rebekah Brooks with whose husband Cameron went horse riding as part of their weekend gatherings in an upscale English town.
In a revelation which reinforced his image as a man of privilege, it emerged Cameron enjoyed "kitchen suppers" with Brooks at their country houses and signed off text messages with a friendly "LOL", which he thought stood for "lots of love".
Brooks is now facing criminal action over phone-hacking and other alleged illegal actions.
The inquiry gave Britain a rare glimpse into the tricks of the tabloid trade which included stalking children, bullying victims and rummaging through celebrities' rubbish bins. Phone hacking at Murdoch's News of the World subsequently led to its closure.
In his report last week, Lord Justice Brian Leveson said statutory backing for the news regulator was needed to end a journalistic culture that had at times "wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people".
Cameron's opposition to a regulator enshrined in law has earned him the condemnation of families of victims who have accused him of betrayal, but won praise from right-leaning newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail.
It may also raise tensions within the Conservative-led coalition, pitting him against the junior Liberal Democrats who support the proposal.
The government has nevertheless threatened the press with new laws to curb its aggression if the industry failed to put together a self-regulatory approach swiftly.
There were no immediate proposals from newspaper chiefs following Tuesday's meeting at Downing Street, Cameron's official residence. But Culture Secretary Maria Miller, who chaired the talks, later said they had agreed to work fast.
"It is not for the government to find solutions or act as an arbitrator," Miller's office said in a statement.
"Those present were unanimous in their agreement that they needed to work together to find a solution that met Lord Justice Leveson's principles, and to do so swiftly. They agreed to come back to the government with toughened proposals shortly."
She had earlier said the government would not allow editors to propose a regulation model that was effectively the same as the existing, discredited Press Complaints Commission which was made up of representatives of the major publishers.
Cameron had promised victims of press intrusion that he would support Leveson's proposals provided they were not too extreme. They now accuse him of going back on his word and being in the pocket of media barons.
"The challenge now is for the newspaper industry to get on with it and put in place an independent regulator that is consistent with the Leveson principles and commands public confidence," Cameron's spokesman said separately.
"The secretary of state (for culture and media) made very clear that no change is not an option and we would have to go back and look at other options laid out by Leveson."
