The GPU (graphics processing unit) is the most notable example but the hard drive and other devices within a computer also perform some processing independently. Nevertheless, the term processor is generally understood to mean the CPU.MediaTek MT6260 Number of cores:A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual processing units (called "cores"), which are units that read and execute program instructions. The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions (such as add, move data, and branch), but the multiple cores can run multiple instructions at the same time, increasing overall speed for programs amenable to parallel computing. Manufacturers typically integrate the cores onto a single integrated circuit die (known as a chip multiprocessor or CMP), or onto multiple dies in a single chip package. 1 GPU: - Touchscreen: no DualSIM: no Announced: - Digital camera MyPhone Flip Camera location: Back Photo matrix: 0.3 Mpx Flash: yes, LED Resolution: 640x480 px Dual-colour LED flash: no Addidtional: FF Data transfer MyPhone Flip xHTML:As the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) describes it, XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) is a reformulation of HTML 4.0 as an application of the Extensible Markup Language (XML). For readers unacquainted with either term, HTML is the set of codes (that is the "markup language") that a writer puts into a document to make it displayable on the World Wide Web. HTML 4 is the current version of it. XML is a structured set of rules for how one might define any kind of data to be shared on the Web. It is called an "extensible" markup language because anyone can invent a particular set of markup for a particular purpose and as long as everyone uses it (the writer and an application program at the receiver is end), it can be adapted and used for many purposes - including, as it happens, describing the appearance of a Web page. That being the case, it seemed desirable to reframe HTML in terms of XML. The result is XHTML, a particular application of XML for "expressing" Web pages. no WAP:WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a specification for a set of communication protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices, such as cellular telephones and radio transceivers, can be used for Internet access, including e-mail, the World Wide Web, newsgroups, and instant messaging. While Internet access has been possible in the past, different manufacturers have used different technologies. In the future, devices and service systems that use WAP will be able to interoperate. yes, v2.0 HSDPA:HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a packet-based mobile telephony protocol used in 3G UMTS radio networks to increase data capacity and speed up transfer rates. HSDPA, which evolved from the WCDMA standard, provides download speeds at least five times faster than earlier versions of UMTS, allowing users of HSDPA networks a broader selection of video and music downloads. HSPDA specifies data transfer speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps per cell for downloads and 2 Mbps per cell for uploads. In practice, users are more likely to experience throughput speeds of 400-700 Kbps, with bursts of up to 1 Mbps. no HSUPA:HSUPA stands for high-speed uplink packet access, and is an upgrade to UMTS that allows for uplink connections as fast as 5.76Mbps. HSUPA is similar to EV-DO Rev A in that it can be added to existing networks to increase upload speeds from compatible devices. no GPRS:General packet radio service, or GPRS, is a wireless data service that enables you send information across a mobile phone network. It is used for second- and third-generation mobile phones for multi-media messaging, Internet access and various applications. yes EDGE:EDGE is a data system used on top of GSM networks that provides faster data speeds than GPRS, the technology it makes obsolete. It has a theoretical maximum downlink data rate of nearly 475Kbps, which qualifies it as a 3G technology based on ITU guidelines, even if typical implementations are configured for non-3G speeds. Generally, it is referred to as 2.75G. yes Bluetooth:Bluetooth first appeared as a consumer technology in 2000 and it is still going strong. It is a wireless communication protocol for connecting devices through the air - it is slower than Wi-Fi but is often simpler to set up, and is usually preferred for device-to-device transfers. no A2DP Profile:A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a technology allowing stereo sound to be streamed via Bluetooth from any audio source (mobile phone, PC or laptop) to a stereo speaker or headset. To do so both the source and the speaker need to support this profile. no WiFi:Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. A common misconception is that the term Wi-Fi is short for "wireless fidelity," however this is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked phrase that means IEEE 802.11x. no Hotspot WiFi:A hotspot is a physical location where people may obtain Internet access, typically using Wi-Fi technology, via a wireless local area network (WLAN) using a router connected to an internet service provider. no USB:USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the most popular connection used to connect a computer to devices such as digital cameras, printers, scanners, and external hard drives. USB is a cross-platform technology that is supported by most of the major operating systems. On Windows, it can be used with Windows 98 and higher. USB is a hot-swappable technology, meaning that USB devices can be added and removed without having to restart the computer. USB is also "plug and play". When you connect a USB device to your PC, Windows should detect the device and even install the drivers needed to use it. yes, v2.0 GPS module:A GPS navigation device or GPS receiver, and when used for vehicle navigation commonly referred to simply as a GPS, is a device that is capable of receiving information from GPS satellites and then to accurately calculate its geographical location. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) made up of a network of a minimum of 24, but currently 30, satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. no A-GPS:A-GPS augments that by using cell tower data to enhance quality and precision when in poor satellite signal conditions. In exceptionally poor signal conditions, for example in urban areas, satellite signals may exhibit multipath propagation where signals skip off structures, or are weakened by meteorological conditions or tree canopy. Some standalone GPS navigators used in poor conditions can not fix a position because of satellite signal fracture, and must wait for better satellite reception. A GPS unit may need as long as 12.5 minutes (the time needed to download the GPS almanac and ephemerides) to resolve the problem and be able to provide a correct location. no NFC:NFC is something you may often hear mentioned with regard to new smartphones, but it is something which few people have an understanding of, or even use. Yes, it's an acronym, but not all acronyms have to be scary. NFC is both easy to understand and can be incredibly useful. Here's all you need to know about what NFC is and why you should use it. no Communication and messaging MyPhone Flip Call waiting: yes Conferency: yes Call forwarding: yes Instant Messenger: no SMS: yes SMS Memory: 100 places MMS: yes Dictionary: no e-mail client: no e-mail protocols: no RSS Reader: no Multimedia MyPhone Flip Radio: yes MP3: yes Audio Jack: 3.5 mm HD Voice: no Polyphony: yes Games: - Java: no DVB-H television: no Business features MyPhone Flip Watch: yes Stopwatch: no Alarm: yes Calculator: yes Currency converter: no Organizer: yes Calendar: yes Flight mode: yes Data and fax: no Other features MyPhone Flip Screensaver: no Themes: no Interchangeable covers: no Voice dial: no Loudspeaker: yes Recorder: yes Vibra: yes Comments, questions and answers to MyPhone Flip Ask a question about MyPhone Flip Name: Question: 8+6= *Enter the sum of the two numbers.

Tortoreto Lido – Castefidardo
Key battleground
While not on the scale of 2010's stage to L'Aquila, the shark-toothed profile of this 144km leg to Castefidardo suggests a day packed with attacks, even among GC contenders. Expect Scarponi, who's on home ground close to the finish, to be among the agitators. Famous for a key battle during the unification campaign, the finishing town of Castefidardo stands high above the countryside.
Distance: 144km
Highest point: 486m
Category: Mountain stage (medium)
Scarponi says...
"It'll be great for my fans! It'll be aggressive; have a bad day here and you're in trouble. You're looking at a group of maybe six and it's made for a punchy climber. Maybe a Spaniard could do well but it's only 50km from home, so I'd better shape up!"

Windsor Castle part 05
Composer: Berger, Francesco
Medium: Lithograph
Date: 1879
Queen Victoria reinstated Windsor Castle as the the principal palace of the monarchy, and it came to be seen as a symbol of the Empire. Songs such as the 'Windsor Castle Polka' were patriotic and were intended to convey a sense of pride in the nation. Windsor Castle is depicted with flag flying, signifying that the Queen was in residence, overlooking the Thames where there are men fishing from a small boat. Colourful covers would have captured people's attention and produced higher sales.

PLAYER 1: The thing is, there's nothing wrong with feeling superior to people because you have good taste!Anyway, I used to live right next to a Diesel store when that was happening! Here is a Diesel ad, via Racialicious.
PLAYER 2: Actually, maybe there is, because that means your sense of self is based on the stuff you buy.
PLAYER 1: Ah, but the entire culture is special in various ways, thus legitimating the sense of superiority!
PLAYER 2: How? Where does the "superiority" come from? Is it superiority of morals, of politics, of principle?
PLAYER 1: Sure! Why not?
PLAYER 2: Actually, Isaac Brock may have raped someone, "hipster racism" is so universally acknowledged as to be a catchphrase, and the class dynamics of "ironically" appropriating Poor White People or Poor Black People stuff whilst laughing about how awful it is are really troubling. And I've met a fuckload of misogynist hipsters. Also.
PLAYER 1: The thing is, there's nothing wrong with feeling superior to people because you have good taste!
PLAYER 2: Fair enough, I guess. I am not wearing a Nickelback shirt right now.
PLAYER 1: Ha ha, Nickelback. They suck!
PLAYER 2: They seriously do!
Oh, here's another one. Why the heck not!
One of these things is not like the others, yall.

Bringing innovation to youth employment generation in YemenJan 20, 2013
The United Nations Development Programme, Government of Yemen and Government of Japan launched the "3x6 approach" in Yemen for inclusiveness, ownership and sustainability.
The Yemeni economy is caught in a jobless slow growth cycle leading to stagnation in per capita incomes and rising levels of unemployment, particularly among the youth. An estimated 50% of youth between the ages of 18 and 24 are unemployed and the country's economic capacity is incapable to cope with the increasing youth bulge rate.
The initial 2011 protests were led by young Yemenis giving voice to their demands for better livelihoods. While many people took to the streets in the hope for jobs, the short-term impact of the transition has led to even higher unemployment: the crisis has caused economic activity to contract by almost 11%. Production processes were disrupted, leading to the closing of businesses and dismissal of workers.
The uprisings during 2011 had a huge macroeconomic impact: -10.5 % reduction in government spending, and a 12% productivity decrease across all sectors. Sources in the private sector estimated their losses from December 2010 to August 2011 as ranging from US$8-17 billion (Joint Social and Economic Assessment, 2012). People's satisfaction with their living standards fell continuously after 2009, with a majority of the population expecting a worsening of their situation, according to Gallup survey data.
Reigniting economic growth, generating employment, providing tangible improvements in livelihoods are prerequisites for a successful transition in Yemen and will contribute directly to conflict prevention. The Government of Yemen, through its Youth Economic Empowerment Project (YEPP) implemented with support from UNDP and the Government of Japan, aims at reducing the risk of conflict by meeting the demand for gainful employment; a demand strongly voiced by the youth during the uprisings.
The Government of Yemen together with UNDP's Youth Economic Empowerment Project is introducing a new approach called "3X6", a response to the war grievances successfully implemented in Burundi, as aimed at economically integrating conflict-affected groups.
In Yemen the approach has been tailored to contribute to conflict prevention by addressing demands by youth for immediate and sustainable employment through implementation of three main components: In Yemen the approach has been tailored to contribute to conflict prevention by addressing demands by youth for immediate and sustainable employment through implementation of three main components: inclusiveness, ownership and sustainability. Phase 1 Inclusiveness - income generation and building of capital by youth through rapid employment activities.
During this first phase (2-6 month), participants receive business development training twice a week in complement to their income-generating activity (e.g. public works). Half - two thirds of the income will be saved and deposited into saving accounts at micro-finance institutions with whom YEEP is partnering.
Phase 2 Ownership – begins during the period of temporary employment, individuals are encouraged to initiate a business plan, or to form a group with others in joint ventures for the implementation of a sustainable economic activity. Phase 3 Sustainability - the individual's/group's saved capital is tripled through a loan. A feasibility study will confirm that any proposed project ideas are economically viable and access to a local market is ensured. UNDP thus provides micro-SME's with investment support and facilitates market expansion.
The approach was launched in presence of the Minister of MOPIC, the Minister of Youth, the Japanese Ambassador and more than 70 youth beneficiaries.
Furthermore, a recent participatory market needs and training assessment carried out by the project identified sectors (such as poultry, greenhouse technology in vegetable farming, construction) where potential job opportunities can be generated for youth in Sana'a, Taiz and Aden governorates.
UNDP is working closely with the private sector as they are a significant partner to establish an enabling environment for youth employment generation. A consultation meeting with private sector representatives was held this month at the Chamber of Commerce as well as with the Yemeni Businessmen club (http://www.ybc-yemen.com/articles/view/191), and a job placement program in cooperation with the private sector is in preparation. Micro-finance institutions, Al-Amal Bank and AlKuraimi Bank, are an important partner to improve access to finance and the culture of saving in Yemen.
Creating employment opportunities for youth is not only a matter of economic growth, it is also a question of stability. Yemen's large youth population needs to see the peace dividend of the political transition process. The political solutions cannot be addressed in isolation from sustainable development and economical recovery. Yemenis need to see an impact over their livelihoods to restore their faith in the political reforms. Job creation is hence critical for the success of the current transition, and for long term development.
Indeed, providing Yemeni people with employment opportunities and sustainable livelihoods will not only provide a way to address the country's grievances but also pave the way towards the ultimate goal of the Yemeni youth—to build a new Yemen.

You all give me continuous a very nice high feedback to the very most of my Dio. Right from my start in these forum.
But it was a long way to come so far.
1. Should be a joke.
Both drunken tank soldier piss there names at the street.
Fritz and Hans. The small boy piss Großdeutschland (Great Germany) in between.
The question at the, let me say simple plate is:
How does so much piss fit into this small boy.
Work out not very good.
And the post box should be RED at this time!
2. In the right upper edge there is space to press a third plane in.
3. No figure. Boring!
4. I think I need more details and color.
5. My very first tree.
6. Before airbrush the yarn in black and after it!
If you think you save money by using lower quality, then you get lower quality.
7. If you use a high base...
8. Use high, big things too.
9. Shit happens. Work several years. Suddenly start to do a gap.
Stop to get bigger since a few years now. I really don`t know why?
10. Never put a model clay on a lacquer surface. Also if it look like it stick very very well.
A few years later ...
And a Me 210 comparison:
11. Me 210/ Revell. My oldest survived model. I take it to my very first competition 1989!
And all I get was a solatium, 1/72 Aircobra.
12. Oh -my- good- Lord!
13. Me 210/ Italeri, Build in 1999.
14. Do you see a difference to the one in 1989?
Hope you like the it.

Description: Background. Common cold viruses create significant health and financial burdens, and understanding key loci of transmission would help focus control strategies. This study (1) examines factors that influence when individuals transition from a negative to positive test (acquisition) or a positive to negative test (loss) of rhinovirus (HRV) and other respiratory tract viruses in 26 households followed weekly for one year, (2) investigates evidence for intrahousehold and interhousehold transmission and the characteristics of individuals implicated in transmission, and (3) builds data-based simulation models to identify factors that most strongly affect patterns of prevalence. Methods. We detected HRV, coronavirus, paramyxovirus, influenza and bocavirus with the FilmArray polymerase chain reaction (PCR) platform (BioFire Diagnostics, LLC). We used logistic regression to find covariates affecting acquisition or loss of HRV including demographic characteristics of individuals, their household, their current infection status, and prevalence within their household and across the population. We apply generalized linear mixed models to test robustness of results. Results. Acquisition of HRV was less probable in older individuals and those infected with a coronavirus, and higher with a higher proportion of other household members infected. Loss of HRV is reduced with a higher proportion of other household members infected. Within households, only children and symptomatic individuals show evidence for transmission, while between households only a higher number of infected older children (ages 5-19) increases the probability of acquisition. Coronaviruses, paramyxoviruses and bocavirus also show evidence of intrahousehold transmission. Simulations show that age-dependent susceptibility and transmission have the largest effects on mean HRV prevalence. Conclusions. Children are most likely to acquire and most likely to transmit HRV both within and between households, with infectiousness concentrated in symptomatic children. Simulations predict that the spread of HRV and other respiratory tract viruses can be reduced but not eliminated by practices within the home.

(CNN) -- After he announced the resignations of four top officials in his administration in 1973, Richard Nixon swore he was done with talking about Watergate, according to the last batch of tapes released by the National Archives.
Gone were his chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman; his domestic affairs adviser, John Ehrlichman; White House lawyer John Dean; and Attorney General Richard Kleindeinst, a longtime friend. Nixon broke the news in his first public address about the scandal that would eventually bring down his presidency -- and as he tried to console the jettisoned Haldeman, he insisted it was his last.
"Well, its a tough thing, Bob, for you, for John, the rest," he said after the April 30, 1973, speech. "But goddammit, I'm never gonna discuss this son of a bitch Watergate thing again. Never, never, never, never."
Of course, like much of what he had just told Americans, it didn't turn out to be true. Nixon would be forced to deal with Watergate over and over again in the next year or so, culminating with his own resignation in August 1974 -- a development forced by the discovery of conversations like those released Wednesday by the National Archives.
The 340 hours of recordings are the last installment of a record that has kept historians busy for four decades. They run from April 1973 through that July, when the microphones were turned off after a probing Congress learned of the tapes.
The new batch includes calls of support from two future presidents following the April 30 speech: Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.
"We're still behind you out here, and I wanted you to know that you're in our prayers," said Reagan, then governor of California and a rising conservative star.
"How nice of you to say that," Nixon replied. "Well, let me tell you this. That we can be -- all each of us has a different religion, you know? But goddammit, Ron, we have got to build peace in the world, and that's what I'm working on."
Bush, then the Republican Party's chairman, told Nixon, "I was really proud of you, and my golly, I know it was tough, and I just wanted to tell you that." Nixon replied, "Well, good for you, George."
The Watergate scandal began to unravel with the June 1972 break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Five operatives of the Nixon re-election campaign were arrested in the attempt to illegally wiretap phones at the offices, located in the Watergate office building in Washington.
The subsequent investigations revealed that within days of the arrests, Nixon had discussed warning FBI agents away from the burglary probe by having the CIA claim the break-in was part of a national security operation. Nixon resigned shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered him to turn over a recording of that conversation to investigators.
Other tapes out Wednesday include Nixon discussing China with National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and meeting with evangelist Billy Graham, the widow of baseball star Roberto Clemente and the Brazilian soccer legend Pele, who spoke of wanting to spread his sport to the United States. He's heard speaking with a variety of world leaders, including West German Chancellor Willy Bradt and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
The tapes captured a June 1973 summit meeting between Nixon and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev, in which Brezhnev bemoaned complaints about the world's two superpowers.
"There are some people who keep throwing in this idea of there being two superpowers in the world who are out to dictate their, as they say, dictate their will, to foist their will upon others, and so forth," Brezhnev said. "Now, but, are we to blame for being big? Are we to blame for being strong? What can we do about it? That is the way it is."
And Nixon talks of winding down the war in Vietnam and the return of American prisoners of war, justifying the December 1972 bombing raids on Hanoi that he credited with their release.
"The North Vietnamese had reneged on the agreement, they had attached conditions with regard to return of POWs, they had attached conditions on the return of civilians themselves," he told Roger Shields, a Pentagon official working with the former prisoners. "We said no conditions. That's why we had to bomb. One of the major reasons we had to bomb. And it worked."
CNN's Athena Jones and Brian Rokus contributed to this report.

Fun ways to beat the summer heat
Long days, short nights and sweltering heat — that's South Florida in the summer. But along with the rising temperatures, the season brings activities for everyone to kick back, explore and make the most of summer fun.
There are tons of places around town where you can ride out the rising temperatures. Some of these are inside, far from the glare of the sizzling sun and where air conditioning becomes the greatest ally. Other happenings will take you into the great outdoors, where tree-filled canopies and ocean breezes help beat the heat.
Here are some of the ways to keep busy while keeping cool.
As the sun sets and temperatures drop, film reels will begin to play at the new Blue Starlite drive-in movie theater location in Coconut Grove behind the playhouse.
After first launching last September in Wynwood, owner Josh Frank made the decision to relocate the theater to a lot behind the Coconut Grove Playhouse to attract more families.
The new location, which opens June 23, will provide room for more vehicles — comfortably fitting 30 cars instead of the 18 at the Wynwood space.
"Miamians love their cars and love being in their cars," Frank said. "This is a night you can spend with the people you love and the cars you love."
Blue Starlite has also teamed up with Taurus in the Grove to offer meal baskets that can be delivered to the cars.
"We partnered with Taurus bar and restaurant so we can be more like the drive-ins from the '50s," Frank said. "We wanted to add some customer service elements so that we could create even more of a special one-of-a-kind experience that you can't get anywhere else."
Ticket packages for vehicles range from $30 to $45. There is also the option to purchase an $8 ticket and sit in the pedestrian seating area.
Watching movies can be a poolside activity, too. During the summer, Grapeland Water Park in Miami will be hosting Dive In Movies on the last Friday of the month.
From 5:30 p.m., families are welcome to go for a swim, zip down water slides or float on the lazy river. At 8 p.m., the water slides will close and everyone will be directed to a pool where they can watch the night's family film.
"We have tubes so you can swim, you can float, or you can sit on a lounge chair by the pool," said Lara DeSouza, deputy director for the city parks department.
The next Dive In Movie will be Monsters University on June 27. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Disney's Planes and E.T. will be screened on the last Friday of July, August and September respectively. Admission is $5 per person for everyone over the age of 2.
"This allows parents to bring their kids to do something different and affordable," DeSouza said.
Go somewhere where the summer weather cannot. Inside any of the local ice-skating arenas, it is easy to forget the humidity after a few laps around the ice.
Lace up your skates at Kendall Ice Arena, where there are public skate sessions from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays.
"I don't know if they want to cool off or if it just because it is a cool thing to do, but we have a lot of families come in," manager Jorge Seijas said.
Sundays are the designated family day, with a public skate session from 1 to 10 p.m.
For the teen crowd, weekend evenings feature live local DJ performances where skaters can perfect their triple axles during a light show.
And those who are brave can make their way to the ice arena for karaoke night on Thursdays. Only then can you face both the perils of wiping out on the ice and performing off-key in front of other skaters.
Admission for the public skate sessions is $7 and skate rental is $3.
Juicy mango chunks and hundreds of tropical plants will steal the spotlight the weekend of July 12-13 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for its 22nd Annual International Mango Festival.
"Mangoes are very popular here in South Florida," said Brooke LeMaire, a spokesperson for the Garden. "We celebrate them here because David Fairchild was one of the first pioneers to introduce mangoes to the United States."
The Garden will be showcasing mangoes from around the world — Southeast Asia, Egypt, South America and the Caribbean. Colombian mangoes will have a special place as the featured fruit for this year's festival.
In a pitched tent, guests can sink their teeth into various kinds of mangoes and vote for their favorites. Cooking demonstrations featuring fresh mango dishes, yoga sessions and lectures on growing mangoes are some of the activities that will be offered.
Kids can attend a workshop on tropical plants — complete with microscopes — get their faces painted, makes crafts and take part in a children's yoga class.
Vendors and mango growers will be selling mango dishes and products, and during an auction, guests can bid to take batches of the tropical fruit home. Small mango trees will be available for purchase for those who want to grow their own fruit for years to come.
"You can see the difference in shape, texture and taste between different mangoes," LeMaire said. "It's a really neat way to experience the tropics."
Admission costs $25 for adults, $12 for children and teens.
Many local museums have calendars full of good diversions from the heat.
The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach has brought back its wildly successful "Hot Nights Cool Jazz" series, which accidentally began five years ago.
"Instead of the music being a backdrop to this event, people sat down and treated it like a concert," said Fernando Ulibarri, event coordinator. "We saw an opportunity to start a concert series."
The four-part series, which takes places every other Friday evening, has been growing in popularity ever since.
"The space fills up and it is very positive," Ulibarri said.
Ulibarri is a musician himself, and will play his original guitar compositions on the final night of the series. For other nights, he has invited other Miami musicians to perform, including pianist Mike Orta and bass player Gary Thomas.
Free for members, $10 for others. All guests are welcome to enjoy wine and beverages in the courtyard during the concert.
To get the whole family involved, the Miami Children's Museum will be hosting a number of special events throughout the summer.
June is National Ocean's Month, and a celebration at the museum will bring families under the tide to explore marine life June 28.
"Miami is right at the edge of the ocean, and it's a good thing to understand that ecosystem," said Peter Kisiluk, a museum manager.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the ocean extravaganza will feature ocean-themed art projects and a seashell excavation. Guests can also get close to marine life by visiting the1,000-gallon fish tank.
Kisiluk said families are invited to watch a black-light performance on the history of marine life in the afternoon, taking them back to prehistoric seas.
Admission is $14 for Florida residents, and $7 for city of Miami residents.

Some could claim I have a conflict of interests in writing about Speaker Speaker because they performed at my birthday concert a few months back. I completely disagree.
Speaker Speaker delivered a solid set of power pop-punk full of finely tuned songs. The highlights were "Radio Days," "Loveland, CO," "We Won't March," and surprisingly the new, unreleased songs they performed. Typically when a band tests out new material live the crowd becomes disengaged. That was not the case with these new Speaker Speaker tunes. The crowd loved them, and while they sounded similar to other material by the band (it's tough to vary your sound if you're gonna stick with the pop-punk genre) the songs were delivered with sincerity by the band and they kept in the same excellent spirit of poppy Speaker Speaker past, which isn't a bad thing.
Really the trio sounds as superb live as they do on record. In fact, it's almost like when you listen to the band it sounds like Nirvana and The Posies are having a battle of the bands inside your stereo.
Wait, where have I heard that last statement before? Oh yeah, it was written on a sticker on the front of their CD.

Saint Laurent Duffle Love! Club Couture Made My Day!
Writer:fashion Date:2013-9-25 23:35 Wednesday Categories:Louis Vuitton
Do you want to know what happened when two of my loves made peace? I received the most beautiful birthday gift ever, a Saint Laurent replica purses. I received it last week but I wanted to show you after it recovered its shape. And now, all I can say it "Thank you Club Couture!"
But I bet I'm not the only one that has with this problem. My husband told me I buy too many things and if I don't throw away some of my old replica purses, I can't buy another ones. Not even one more! But for my birthday, he had a change of hearts. He didn't actually buy this bag for me, he just told me I could pick the bag I want under one condition. It has to be only one. Fortunately for me, I managed to hide the pink Celine Luggage I purchased a few weeks ago.
I had my eyes on some designer replica handbags from Club Couture for a while but I decided I really need a bigger bag, so I turned to this year's hottest bag, the Saint Laurent Duffle bag. Here are a few words that can describe the bag: love at first sight, stunning, gorgeous, a total hit. Here are some photos:
Of course that, this replica purse, as well as any other designer replica handbags, has a few minor flaws but I'm not bothered by them. Let's start with the color, the beige is not the same shade as the one on the site but I think this version looks better. And since even the authentic will change the color overtime, I think that, put side by side, no one will notice the differences. But here is a heads up, in case you want to buy the same bag. I think the leather is a bit too shinny but I can use a bit of moisturizing cream without polishing the bag. The purse got a few wrinkles during shipping (photo nr 2) that's why you see all the papers inside the bag but I'm sure they will go away. The clochette is also a bit stiff but I won't use it either way. And for the girls interested, the bag also comes with dust bag, receipt, care booklet and authenticity card.
As you know, I could choose the free Louis Vuitton replica accessory of my choice and I picked up the Louis Vuitton replica cosmetic pouch. Here are two photos of the front and inside.
The quality it's pretty nice but this is the smaller version.
What do you think girls? Does it count as a good purchase? I sure think this so!

Alber Saber, a former christian and currently an atheist, admin of the "Egyptian Atheists facebook page" was attacked by mob and arrested by the police on Thursday evening. He is accused of atheism , disgracing religions, and disseminating the anti-islam film (he only shared it on his page) .
It's still vague how it all started , but one news site stated that Alber (24 years) invited a muslim friend to his house when that friend used Alber's PC and knew of his atheism and the facebook page he is running.
a fierce argument erupted between the both , he dragged him to the streets were the mob gathered and attacked Alber, they even wanted to burn his house.
The police was called in, they arrested him and accused him of the charges mentioned above.
There is a video of the incident uploaded on YouTube where the angry mob is seen demanding Saber be apprehended. Hundreds of angry protesters had gathered before police arrived. As Saber was hauled to the police van, insults were heard being hurled at the man, with many calling for his death due to him being an infidel.
Alber decided to go on hunger strike starting from today, what i fear is that even if they set him free, the mob won't let him live and they will probably kill him.
i don't know what we should do .. i feel so helpless.

Egyptian father: Daughter punished for not veiling
LUXOR, Egypt (AP) — A teacher in southern Egypt punished two 12-year-old schoolgirls for not wearing the Muslim headscarf by cutting their hair, the father of one girl said Wednesday, in an incident that stokes concerns over personal rights following the rise of Islamist political movements.
The governor of Luxor province where the incident occurred called the teacher's actions "shameful" and said she had been transferred to another school. But rights groups say that some Islamic conservatives have been emboldened by the success of groups like Muslim Brotherhood and the ultraconservative Salafi trend in parliamentary and presidential elections and have been increasingly brazen about forcing their standards on other Egyptians.
The incident follows a surge in legal cases against Egyptians, mostly Christians, who allegedly showed contempt for religion. The trial of one, Alber Saber, opened Wednesday but was postponed.
It also comes amid a fierce debate over how the role of religion will be defined in the country's new constitution. The preponderance of Islamists on the panel drafting the document has alarmed liberals and religious minorities.
In the village of Qurna in Luxor province, 500 kilometers (300 miles) south of Cairo, Berbesh Khairi El-Rawi said the teacher forced the two girls to stand with their hands above their heads for two hours and then cut their hair in their school.
El-Rawi, the father of one of the two girls, told The Associated Press that he filed a complaint after the Oct. 10 incident with the prosecutor's office in Luxor. He had no further comment.
I should have mentioned that there is more in this article about Alber Saber, as well - just click on the link above.
This, from the same article:
In another incident that raised concerns over the freedom of expression, a top parliamentarian suspended the editor-in-chief of a state-owned newspaper for publishing a report deemed an offense to the military.
Ahmed Fahmy, the head of the Islamist-dominated Shura Council upper house of parliament, named a replacement for Gamal Abdel-Rahim after his paper, al-Gomhuria, published a Wednesday report claiming that authorities would soon bar the country's former top military leaders from traveling abroad pending an investigation into alleged corruption and the deaths of protesters during their 17 months in power.
The paper quoted an unnamed judicial source. The report was later denied by the Ministry of Justice, and a member of the armed forces protested what he called an "offense" to the military, the state Middle East News Agency said.
The move to replace Abdel-Rahim prompted criticism from journalists and media watchdog groups. Although the state-owned media formally belong to the Shura Council, which appoints the editors, journalists say it is not the business of the council to take disciplinary measures for publishing offenses.
A group of Abdel-Rahim's colleagues gathered at the paper's offices to protest the decision and declared a strike. Abdel-Rahim told them that he will not abide by the decision. He said that Egypt's union of journalists should decide if there is to be an investigation into the matter.
Fahmy, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood's political party, could not be reached for comment.
The state-owned papers, run for years by secular-leaning editors, had a reputation as a mouthpiece for President Hosni Mubarak, who was deposed last year.
Gamal Eid, the head of the Arab Network for Human Rights Information media watchdog, said the decision was "arbitrary" and is a continuation of the same "mistakes" of the previous regime.
Yeah, I know - here I sit in the safety of America, "Land of the Free," and say this, but this country was repressive in the beginning - women were hung by religious zealots, as "witches," but we threw it off. Moderate Muslims need to stand up and say, "We don't want to go back to the 10th century, this is the 21st!"
I know, Guys and Gals, that I may seem to be belaboring the point, and you would certainly be justified in saying that I don't understand the Muslim mentality, but it should be obvious that I care, and that I'm deeply disturbed about what is happening in Islamic countries.
Muhammad, or whoever wrote his book, had a clever concept - by saying that Muhammad was "god's" last prophet, that meant that no one could come along and contradict anything Muhammad said. But even the Quran ascertains that "god" personally spoke to the founders, Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Moses - does Islam maintain that Allah is incapable of personal intervention in the lives of Man?
If Humanity has made the progress it has in the last 1500 years, has it been made without the blessing of Allah? If it is said that such progress has been against the will of Allah, then it must also be conceded that Allah was powerless to prevent it. But if Allah is all powerful, then it must be automatically taken as a given that not only did Allah sanction Humanity's progress, he must have actually worked to make it possible.
If that is the case, are not those who would turn back the clock 1500 years, actually working AGAINST the will of Allah?
I'm just sayin' --
@Archy - what he said.
Gamal Abdel Rehim the current editor of chief of el Gomhuria newspaper wrote an infamous article in 2005 calling for burning the houses of the Bahai's in Egypt and withdrawal of the Egyptian citizenship from them.
This guy isn't less fasciste than the islamists .. i don't care about him.

1. The FOSS teacher training cum workshop (2nd edition) at WBSUB, Kolkata on March 13-14 was great. IDG, Susmit, Subhodip, me along with 3 other wbut-lug guys trained them about the basics of FOSS, desktop environments, openoffice, productive internet etc. Really, it was good to find school teachers getting trained in FOSS as they would have a ripple effect on their students. The sessions were exhaustive and handouts/handbooks were also distributed. The photoset is here.
2. Google Summer of Code 2009 is on and OpenStreetMap, Fedora, KDE & lots others are participating this year. Student applications have started yesterday. Head out here to open the doors of freedom. Btw, this is the 5th year (anniversary) GSoC is happening and hence the Retro 60's logo theme. 🙂
3. Went to Burdwan yesterday for some work. But the cool thing is drove all the way (up & down 160 kms) from durgapur myself. It was fun! Never went so far considering me a newbie in driving cars.
4. Kinda pissed off that college tech-fest is not happening this year. Permission problems and all. well, a long story in itself!!

If you can't wait to take Solid Snake on the go, then a brand new teaser image from Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima will have you salivating for more.
As is often the case, Mr. Kojima has Tweeted to his fans with information on his next game. While the post offers little more than an image of a Vita running the game, just seeing the Metal Gear Solid logo across that 5 inch OLED screen has me giddy with excitement.
In the photo (posted below) you'll notice that the Vita is laying atop a script for the game, as re-recording work must be done for the Vita version. There's no doubt that Mr. Kojima and the entire team at Kojima Productions is doing everything they can to make this HD Collection a stunning product.
With dual analog sticks, a gorgeous screen and the portability of the PlayStation Vita, I can't image a better place for classic PS2 titles like Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater.
For more information on the upcoming HD port for the Vita, keep it here at PlayStation LifeStyle.

"Judge Parker has a theme of caring about people and of life as it used to be -- of virtue rewarded," says a fan of more than 20 years in Atlanta. Judge Parker was created in 1952 by psychiatrist Dr. Nicholas P. Dallis, the originator of two other successful "soap-opera" comic strips, Rex Morgan, M.D. and Apartment 3-G. The strip chronicles the lives -- in and out of the courtroom - of Judge Alan Parker, Sam Driver and Abbey Spencer. With its true-to-life storylines, drama and suspense, Judge Parker has kept readers in 175 newspapers nationwide hooked.
Alan Parker was created in 1952 by Dr. Nicholas P. Dallis as the leading man for his second comic strip, Judge Parker. During the 1950s, Alan Parker was the dashing professional man who spent more time solving crimes and chasing felons than he did sitting on the bench. He is a widower with two children, Randy and Ann. He later remarried a beautiful,younger woman named Katherine. Judge Parker is in his late 50s. During the 1960s, Dr. Dallis felt that Alan Parker was becoming a little too distinguished to be chasing crooks, so he introduced another handsome leading man, attorney Sam Driver. For the past few decades readers have seen little of Judge Parker. However, current writer Woody Wilson has reintroduced him as a lead character and fans will see much more of His Honor in the future.
Attorney extraordinaire, Sam Driver has been the central male character in Judge Parker since 1963. He is approximately 33 years old, handsome, smart and sensitive, and he's also a trained investigator. His relationship to the beautiful and wealthy Abbey Spencer is that of a lover, confidant and soul mate. He is also her trusted attorney and the administrator of her adopted daughters' considerable estates. In recent years, it has been obvious that Sam and Abbey are deeply in love, for their relationship was always implied. And even though they are not married, they share the parental responsibility of raising Neddy and Sophie. Of all the lead characters created by Dr. Dallis, Sam Driver has the most keen sense of humor. His wry, dry wit belies his no-nonsense attorney's demeanor.
Abbey Spencer is rich! Mega-rich! She was created in the early 1960s by Dr. Nick Dallis to liven up Judge Parker. Sam Driver, then the new leading man, needed a suitable girlfriend, and Abbey was just the ticket. She owns Spencer Farms, a thoroughbred horse farm that she inherited when her father died. She's beautiful, poised, slightly spoiled, temperamental and elegantly sexy. In past years, Abbey had a tendency toward self-absorption, but that all changed when she adopted Neddy and Sophie. The girls opened deeper dimensions of Abbey's personality ... dimensions that surprised even Abbey.
Introduced in 1993, Neddy and Sophie Spencer have become important for a couple of reasons. First, they add a youthful dimension to a feature dominated by adult characters - Neddy is the beautiful, volatile young woman, and Sophie is the sensitive and sensible teenager. Secondly, their high-spirited characters allow Sam and Abbey to become closer and more realistic as people. Both girls were homeless when they were discovered several years ago living with their grandfather on Abbey Spencer's rambling estate. Their grandfather, Ezra, was a tough old goat and tried his best to provide for his granddaughters despite losing everything. When Abbey and Sam found Ezra and the girls living beside a wooded creek on a remote section of her property, Abbey decided to take them in. She gave Ezra a job and provided them a place to live until they could find a suitable house. But one day while working in the barn Ezra had a heart attack and died, leaving the girls alone and destitute. Abbey stepped in and offered the girls a place to live. It was not an easy transition for anyone. After a period of emotional turmoil, Abbey and the girls began to bond. Neddy, as the rebellious teen-ager, was always at odds with Abbey. In time, Abbey's warmth and sincerity won the girls over and she decided to adopt them. In the meantime, Sam discovered Neddy and Sophie were rich in their own right. A rich uncle, Ezra's estranged brother, had left them both sizable fortunes. Neddy is a talented artist with a promising future.
Sophie is a straight-A student and rarely misbehaves. As the younger sister, Sophie is constantly trying to step out of her popular sister's shadow.

My first post were about the Bats, BirdZirk! and the opening day of the Creation Museum outside of Cincy (the latter remains one of my favorite posts despite the epic levels of snark involved).
It's been four years since the birth of my logo. John Wurth at Hatch Creative made it. I told him I wanted something retro-y, happy, with an acorn and a fleur de lis.
My tag line is: "Neither here, nor there" because I am from the North and spent most of my adult life in the South and Louisville is... neither here, nor there.
The acorn? There are all kinds of reasons behind that.
My last name is Chipman, frequently, lovingly bastardized to Chipmunk. Chipmunks eat?
I lived in New England and New Orleans and oak trees are ubiquitous throughout.
And when I was a wee lass, I discovered that the Vanderbilts had a special affinity for the saying "Great Oaks from Tiny Acorns grow." I, myself, am not a particularly big person. I come from humble means. The aspirational message behind that aphorism felt particularly meaningful to me.
I don't "do" analytics, and I have never tried to sell ads. I've never been compensated for or charged for posts.
This has always been a labor of love.
That doesn't mean that it's not without significant rewards.
In 2011, I gave a speech at the Louisville Free Public Library called "Social Media Is Social" and it outlined just what blogging and tweeting had brought to my life.
90% of my friends in Louisville met me through the blog or twitter. Media passes afforded to me because of my blog have allowed me to do probably thousands of dollars worth of activities. I got my first Louisville print media job with The Louisville Paper because of my blog. And I am now employed full time as an online journalist at Insider Louisville, in part because of the work that I did with Loueyville.
There are close to 750 posts on this blog. Thank you to every single one of you who's read even one of these posts. You've changed my life.
I know things have slowed to a trickle here since I started working at Insider Louisville. I hope you've followed me there– 80% of the stories I cover for IL are stories I would have covered for Loueyville. It's a dream to be paid for what I've been doing for six years for free. And I am grateful for all the Insider folks for this opportunity.
I'll continue to do my best to fill in the cracks in my reporting for IL here.
Happy sixth anniversary to Loueyville! And thank you for your continued support.

Enlighted provides people-smart energy efficiency solutions for commercial environments. The company's first application — advanced lighting control, built on the Enlighted sensor and analytics platform — saves companies between 50% and 70% in energy costs while tuning individual workspaces for the comfort and efficiency of the people who work in them
RockPort has been looking at the smart building space for a long time and got excited about Enlighted because they came up with a product and solution that have a superior value proposition. Managing buildings better remains one of the largest opportunities in technology. Commercial property owners want to increase their net operating income by lowering operating costs as well as get the most out of their floor space. Enlighted leverages sensor and IT technologies to achieve those goals. Just as important, it eliminates the cost and complexity of installing and managing these systems, which have been barriers to adoption.

Obama says military force is option to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama insisted Sunday he'd call for military action to prevent Iran from securing a nuclear weapon, even as he urged Israel and its supporters to refrain from "loose talk of war" and allow diplomacy and "crippling sanctions" to work.
Speaking a day before a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama told the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee that he's got "Israel's back" and is unalterably opposed to Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
"Iran's leaders should know that I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," he said, securing his biggest round of applause before a crowd that greeted him warmly, but with restraint. "I've made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests."
Israel is afraid that Iran — which says its nuclear program is for domestic reasons — could reach what the Israeli Defense Minister calls a "zone of immunity" where Israel would be unable to take out Iran's nuclear program. Obama argued there is time for diplomacy, "backed by pressure," to work — a call that met with little applause.
"Israel and the United States have an interest in seeing this challenge resolved diplomatically," Obama said, speaking to the AIPAC policy conference that organizers said was attended by 13,000 people. "After all, the only way to truly solve this problem is for the Iranian government to make a decision to forsake nuclear weapons."
Obama, whose tough early stance against Israel's building of settlements in the predominantly Palestinian West Bank has led some Jewish voters to view him warily, used the bulk of his 34-minute speech to defend his record on Israel and implore the audience to trust him. He called his commitment to Israel's security "unprecedented," ticking off examples, including speaking at the United Nations last fall against a Palestinian bid for recognition.
"Over the last three years, as president of the United States, I have kept my commitments to the state of Israel," Obama said. "At every crucial juncture — at every fork in the road — we have been there for Israel. Every single time."
He suggested that "if during this political season you hear some questions regarding my administration's support for Israel, remember that it's not backed up by the facts.
"There should not be a shred of doubt by now," he said. "When the chips are down, I have Israel's back."
Indeed, before Obama took the stage at the Washington Convention Center, former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney, a deputy assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs in the George W. Bush administration, got a loud round of applause when she charged that Obama has been more interested in constraining Israel than Iran, and that "no president has done more to delegitimize and undermine" Israel's security than Obama.
But former Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., who sat on a panel with Cheney, got a louder round of applause for suggesting it was a "grave mistake to turn Israel into a political football."
The standoff with Tehran comes as both parties are courting the small but influential Jewish vote. Republican presidential contenders Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are scheduled to address the AIPAC crowd Tuesday. Gingrich wasted no time bashing Obama, telling CNN's "State of the Union" that "there's no evidence that the president is prepared to take steps to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons."
Polls suggest most Americans are opposed to military intervention in Iran. A small band of anti-war protesters held court outside the convention center, holding signs protesting Israel and what they fear is a run-up to war.
Obama insisted the "entire world" has an interest in preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, saying that it could fall into the hands of terrorists and would likely compel other countries to get their own weapons.
And he argued that he's had success in tightening a noose around Iran, with Russia and China joining the effort.
But he sought to assure Netanyahu — and Iran — that the U.S. would support Israel in defending itself.
"We all prefer to resolve this issue diplomatically," he said. "Having said that, Iran's leaders should have no doubt about the resolve of the United States, just as they should not doubt Israel's sovereign right to make its own decisions about what is required to meet its security needs."
Netanyahu, who is said to want greater specificity from the U.S. and a promise of military intervention, told reporters that the most significant part of Obama's speech was that Israel "must be able to defend itself, by itself, against any threat."
Reuters said Netanyahu in Ottawa said that he "very much appreciates that fact that Obama reiterated the position that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and that all options are on the table."
Israeli President Shimon Peres, who will receive from Obama the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, thanked Obama for "being such a good friend" of Israel and insisted "there is no space" between Israel and the U.S. over Iran.
"President Obama made it clear that the U.S. will never permit Iran to become nuclear," he said.
But, he said, "If we are forced to fight, trust me, we will prevail."
Obama cautioned against "too much loose talk of war," saying it's only benefited the Iranian government by driving up the price of oil.
Nathan Lindenbaum, a Teaneck, N.J., businessman who said there's still an "unease" with Obama among Jewish voters, said Obama struck the right note in his speech.
"But as he himself said, it's less about words and more about action," said Lindenbaum. "What's critical is what do the Iranians hear? Is there anything that can be said that can stop them?"

Earlier today the Royal Navy released new images of the planned class of Type 26 Frigates.
The images show a rather sleek looking vessel, stealthily like the Type 45 Destroyers, with a very similar, albeit shorter and set back. It looks very similar to a lot of the other recent European designed Frigates such as the Dutch Zeven Provincien, Danish Absalon and Spanish Bazan classes. As with the Type 45's, its nice to see us designing modern warships, but why are we essentially designing ships now that the rest of the world built a decade ago? What is it with out defence policy and procurement that takes so long?
Some more technical specifications have also been divulged:
- Displacement – 5,400 tonnes
- length – 148 metres
- crew – 118, with space for up to 190
- Vertical launch missile silo
- Medium Calibre Gun, that looks suspiciously like an Oto Melara
- A Phalanx-style CIWS
- Hangar to accomodate Merlin or Lynx Wildcat
- A flexible mission space for UAV, seaboats, special forces or humanitarian operations
According to reports the planned order is for 13, although given the manner in which warship classes almost always end up consisting of a lot less than the original order, the Royal Navy might do well to get 10. There are currently 13 Type 23 Frigates in the fleet. According to the Portsmouth News the final decision for ordering these ships will be taken in the 2015 Defence Review, so of course that is vulnerable to cuts.
The first ship is scheduled to enter service, but again, expect this to slip once the project goes through the various hoops at the MOD. Mind you, Phillip Hammond announced today that 25% of senior military and civilian staff at Commodore/Brigadier level and above will be cut over the next few years, so things might actually start to run smoother!
Some of the quotes from the Defence Minister, Peter Luff, refer to how the project will sustain shipbuilding jobs in Britain. The design IS modular, a la Type 45 and CVF, but if the first ship is due to enter service in 2020, work will have to start in about 2015 at the very latest one would imagine (unless the 'in service' date is actually delivery date, but the two are different). One suspects that there will end up being a gap between the end of the QE programme and the Type 26 work, which might leave shipbuilding jobs in Portsmouth in particular vulnerable.
I've gone on record before in my belief that these will be the most important ships in the 21st Century Royal Navy. One only has to take a cursory glance a the operational taskings of the fleet, and 95% of what Royal Navy ships are doing is Frigate work. The Type 26 seems like a step in the right direction for chasing pirates and insurgents in RIB's.
See the MOD, BBC or Portsmouth News articles for more information. There's also a nifty looking animation on the BBC website.

CHICAGO — The Dodgers have said for weeks what utility man Nick Punto said Friday.
"This is a special team," Punto said.
This has become more than a belief. The Dodgers are now making history.
With a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, the Dodgers won their 12th consecutive road game, equaling the franchise record.
Sandy Koufax's teams never did that. Neither did Jackie Robinson's or Fernando Valenzuela's. The only other team to do that played so long ago it wasn't even called the Dodgers: the 1924 Brooklyn Robins.
"Oh, really?" Mark Ellis said. "That's incredible. I know we've been playing really good on the road. That's the sign of a good team, usually."
Hanley Ramirez was given a day off. So was Carl Crawford. It didn't matter.
Punto, who started in place of Ramirez at shortstop, was two for four with a double, two runs batted in and two runs scored. Adrian Gonzalez and Yasiel Puig each collected two hits. Hyun-Jin Ryu got his 10th win.
But what appeared to be a routine victory for the Dodgers — it was their 29th win in 36 games — was overrun with emotion.
Ellis and Manager Don Mattingly were ejected in the fourth inning for disputing a called third strike. Recording the final out was Carlos Marmol, the former Cubs closer who was traded to the Dodgers exactly a month earlier.
The Dodgers went ahead, 1-0, in the first inning when Gonzalez doubled and scored on a single by Puig. The Cubs drew even in the bottom of the second on consecutive doubles by Cole Gillespie and Darwin Barney.
The game started to open up in the third inning, when Punto doubled in Ellis. The Dodgers added another run by drawing four consecutive walks against Cubs starter Travis Wood to extend their lead to 3-1.
Ellis was tossed in the next inning. What Ellis believed was ball four was strike three in the eyes of home plate umpire Alan Porter.
Ellis flipped his bat and told Porter, "It was a bad call."
He was promptly ejected.
"Everyone has a different level of tolerance," Ellis said. "It's silly. It never should happen. It's embarrassing to get thrown out of a game, especially when there's no reason for it."
Mattingly stormed out of the dugout to defend Ellis, who said he'd been ejected only one other time in his 11-year career.
"You feel like he's probably right," Mattingly said of Ellis.
Mattingly drew his third ejection of the season. While a heated Mattingly argued with Porter and crew chief Jerry Layne, Mattingly and Porter bumped into each other.
Replays showed Porter ran into Mattingly and not the other way around.
"I didn't feel like I was going forward," Mattingly said. "I feel OK about that."
The ejections didn't slow down the Dodgers, who went on to score two more runs to extend their lead to 5-1.
Ryu was charged with two runs in 51/3 innings, though he gave up 11 hits. J.P. Howell, Brandon League, Ronald Belisario and Marmol combined to pitch 32/3 scoreless innings.

The following press release was issued tonight by the Raiders:
The Oakland Raiders are pleased to announce that Mike Waufle will rejoin the Raiders as the Defensive Line Coach. Mike has an outstanding record of success as a defensive line coach and has participated in Super Bowls with the Raiders and Giants. New York's Super Bowl victory over New England featured dominating defensive line play. Mike is thrilled with the opportunity to rejoin the Raiders. He and Coach Cable spent six years together at the University of California where they enjoyed working together.
So while they've yet to make it clear whether Cable will be the head coach, they at least brought him some company until Al Davis makes up his mind.
