CES Sling Media has finally named the date when it will ship SlingCatcher, the SlingPlayer-for-TVs box it announced at last year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Sling's new SlingCatcher: SlingPlayer for TVs
Based on the distinctive design of the Slingbox series - though the original look has been dropped - SlingCatcher can pick up the feed from its sibling or from a PC running SlingProjector, which not only streams content out to the SlingCatcher but provides a route for internet-stored content, such as YouTube videos, to be displayed too.
Sound a little like Apple TV? Unlike the Apple box, SlingCatcher has no local storage of its own, but it does boast not only a USB port to which you can hook up a hard drive but also on-board software to synchronise what's on the disc with content kept on a PC. That will allow users to get their SlingCatchers to play back content even when their computer's turned off.
SlingCatcher first time round
SlingCatcher will work with both standard definition and HD TVs thanks to a mix of composite-, s- and component-video outputs and HDMI. There's an Ethernet port for the network connection, but no built-in wireless. For that, you'll need Sling's upcoming SlingLink Wireless add-on.
That adds $50 to the SlingCatcher's base $250 price. SlingCatcher will ship in Q2. Hopefully - at launch it was promised for mid-2007 but was later reschedulaed for before the end of that year... Third time lucky?

ATLANTA (AP) — Republican governors scored easy political points by rejecting President Barack Obama's plan to enroll more poor people in government health insurance.
Now Republican leaders in Georgia and Mississippi may be bailing out hospitals that will lose funding they would have gotten from Obama's health care law. South Carolina's leaders increased payments to hospitals in a push to improve rural health. It likely placated hospital officials who might have pressured Republicans to adopt the Democratic plan.
Obama's plan assumed that very few people would lack health insurance, meaning the U.S. government could reduce the payments it makes to hospitals for treating poor and uninsured patients.
But 25 states refused to expand their government-funded Medicaid programs or are still debating it. Without health insurance, those low-income patients cannot fully pay for treatment.

Lauren Conrad makes New Year's resolutions
It's time to make the annual plans to better yourself in 2013.
Reality star, designer and author Lauren Conrad, 26, unveiled her New Year's resolutions this morning on her website.
She says she's "pretty satisfied" with how she did with her 2012 resolutions — which were to send more thank-you notes, make an effort to plan dinner with friends once a week and organize her closet once a month.
"Now I'm ready for a new set of challenges for 2013," she writes.
Here are Lauren's New Year's Resolutions for 2013:
1. Be more punctual!
2. Get organized.
3. Drink more water.
She decided to write them down, frame them and put them by her bedside. "This way I will be constantly reminded of the resolutions I've made, which will make it more likely that I will actually stick to them… Because let's be honest, most of us forget our list by the time Valentine's Day rolls around."
What are your resolutions for 2013?

Poll: Should barbers and hair salons be allowed to re-open early?
THE IRISH HAIRDRESSERS' Federation has revealed that it is drawing up plans which it says could allow barbers and hair salons to open early.
As it stands, barbers and salons are not set to return until 20 July, phase four of the government's roadmap for lifting Covid-19 restrictions.
However, the IHF says it will present more than 100 recommendations to the government this week aimed at allowing barbers and salons to open before that date.
They include the use of personal protective equipment and booking systems to prevent crowding among customers.
But the National Public Health Emergency Team has previously warned that haircuts risk spreading Covid-19, because they involve close contact between customers and hairdressers and barbers.
Today we're asking: Do you think barbers and hair salons should be allowed to open before 20 July?

Although there's no rule against winning the coveted Power Line Green Weenie Award more than once, we think it's a little cheeky to win it two weeks in a row, so Bill McKibben can't have it again because of his ridiculous anti-fracking protest going off today in Washington (though it is tempting to give a group GW Award to the usual gang of pecksniffs supporting the protest). Instead, this week's winner is from the "what-took-so-long" category: NPR.
On Thursday, NPR's news blog reported: "Heat Dome" Linked to Greenland's Biggest Melt in 30 Years. A large iceberg—twice the size of Manhattan!!—broke off, and the largest area of melting ever observed was observed!* The story goes on to quote—no, not scientists, but Wired magazine and the Guardian:
Wired writes that "while no one event can be blamed on climate change, the melt is consistent with rising global temperatures." The Guardian says "the rapid melting over just four days was captured by three satellites. It has stunned and alarmed scientists, and deepened fears about the pace and future consequences of climate change."
But what do actual scientists say in NASA's press release? Are they "stunned and alarmed"?
"The Greenland ice sheet is a vast area with a varied history of change. This event, combined with other natural but uncommon phenomena, such as the large calving event last week on Petermann Glacier, are part of a complex story," said Tom Wagner, NASA's cryosphere program manager in Washington. "Satellite observations are helping us understand how events like these may relate to one another as well as to the broader climate system." . .
"Ice cores from Summit show that melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average. With the last one happening in 1889, this event is right on time," says Lora Koenig, a Goddard glaciologist and a member of the research team analyzing the satellite data. "But if we continue to observe melting events like this in upcoming years, it will be worrisome." (Emphasis added.)
No need to wait to see if melting like this continues. It's good enough for NPR and others to run with the scary story.
* And there's the key fact, by the way. The NASA press release is entitled "Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt." Satellite data only go back 33 years.

How they were built: Cleveland Indians
A look at the composition of the Tribe's projected playoff roster
The Cleveland Indians had a mini dynasty going back in the mid-to-late 90s, winning five straight division titles (six in seven years) and making it to the World Series twice. That string of success was built upon a large core of homegrown players who were signed and developed, then given long-term contracts, by the Indians.
Cleveland is back in the postseason for just the second time since then, and if the 2013 edition of the Indians teaches nothing else, it's that there's more than one way to skin a cat.
This is not the Indians of Carlos Baerga, Jim Thome, Sandy Alomar, Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton. A vast majority of the roster headed to the playoffs did not start with this organization. More than perhaps any organization in baseball, the Indians have found tremendous value in the trade market, bringing in talent in all shapes and sizes to help them put together this American League Wild Card club.
The Cleveland braintrust clearly felt it was close, despite a 94-loss season in 2012, so it was aggressive on the free-agent market prior to the 2013 season, providing the necessary pieces that led to this year's 24-win turnaround.
"If you look at our roster, we've gotten contributions from each of our areas of player acquisition," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said. "[We've gotten help] from the Draft and from Latin America. Our pro scouting department [contributed] with trades and free-agent acquisitions. We've gotten guys at different points in the development spectrum. We've tried to assimilate them all into a team that's as good as possible to win as many games as we can."
Here's a closer look at how the Indians' roster was built:
Homegrown players
Depending on how postseason rosters shake out, the Indians may have the fewest number of truly homegrown players of any of the playoff teams. What they don't have in quantity, though, they make up for in quality.
|Year (round)
|Danny Salazar
|Int'l sign
|Lonnie Chisenhall
|2008 (1st)
|Jason Kipnis
|2009 (2nd)
|Cody Allen
|2011 (23rd)
Jason Kipnis represents the draftees extremely well. The 2009 second-round pick was an All-Star in 2013 and has been a rock in the lineup and in the infield in just his second full Major League season. While Kipnis was big, particularly in the first half, the club received a huge second-half boost from Danny Salazar, the lone member of the roster who was signed and developed by the Indians out of Latin America.
"Both of those guys have made a huge impact on our team," Antonetti said. "Kip carried us for better part of a month and a half. He's been a very steady performer. Danny helped us get through a couple of injuries. Without him filling that void, we'd have had a tough time staying in the race."
Cody Allen and Lonnie Chisenhall also made contributions, perhaps not quite as large as the other two. Allen was a mainstay in the bullpen all year, and while Chisenhall's overall numbers aren't too pretty, he's come through at the plate at times and gives the Indians either some power at the bottom of the lineup or a left-handed bat off the bench.
"All of them have made some contributions, with Kip and Danny at the head of the class," Antonetti said.
Making deals, it turns out, has been the Indians' bread and butter. More players on their playoff roster have come via trades than by any other means, by far. It's been a combination of smaller moves and some blockbusters that has brought this successful mix of players together.
Acquired via trade
|Asdrubal Cabrera
|Joe Smith
|Carlos Santana
|Michael Brantley
|Justin Masterson
|Red Sox
|Chris Perez
|Corey Kluber
|Zach McAllister
|Ubaldo Jimenez
|Matt Albers
|Bryan Shaw
|Yan Gomes
|Blue Jays
|Mike Aviles
|Blue Jays
|Drew Stubbs
|Marc Rzepczynski
Cleveland has proven adept, over the years, at identifying talent, sometimes bringing in unfinished products and helping them become productive big leaguers. Asdrubal Cabrera was a Triple-A infielder when they got him from Seattle in 2006. While Carlos Santana had a breakout year in 2008, he was still in A ball when the Indians got him from the Dodgers in 2008. Justin Masterson, while more of a known quantity when he came from the Red Sox, had an unclear role. Some felt he didn't have the tools to be a starter long-term, but the Indians did, and he's been a workhorse in their rotation since.
The Indians' track record on the blockbusters is a little spottier. Trevor Bauer was thought to be the biggest prize in last offseason's huge three-team trade, but he ended up making just four starts in the big leagues in 2013 and did not receive a September callup. On the plus side, all of the other pieces -- Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the D-backs, Drew Stubbs from the Reds -- all contributed to the playoff push.
The Indians took a good amount of heat when they sent Drew Pomeranz and Alex White -- two of the better pitching prospects in the game, at the time -- along with a solid prospect, in Joe Gardner, to Colorado for Ubaldo Jimenez in 2011. Cleveland thought it could make a run that year, and the fact the club ended up under .500 and 15 games out didn't help when evaluating the deal. But sometimes it takes longer for a deal's benefits to come to fruition. Putting aside the fact that neither Pomeranz nor White have lived up to expectations, Jimenez's return to pre-trade form, especially in the second half of the season, has been huge for the Indians.
"We don't spend a lot of time looking at what people externally are talking about," Antonetti said about the critique of the trade. "But without question, without Ubaldo's contributions, we would not have been in the position we were to compete for a playoff spot."
The other blockbusters over the years have been a little less fruitful, part of the risk involved when making any kind of deal. The trades of two elite lefties, in CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee, netted the Indians just one player on the current roster, outfielder Michael Brantley, though Jason Donald was later sent as part of the deal with the Reds and D-backs. It may not have been the return the Indians hoped for, but Antonetti feels the overall scorecard is still pretty positive.
"Not everyone is going to make perfect decisions and trades," he said. "If you look at the whole portfolio of trades, we've had a fair amount of success. If you look at the composition of this team -- not just this year, but over the past several years -- those deals have worked well for us and been a big part of how we've constructed our team."
Free agents
The Indians typically aren't ones to go nuts on the free-agent market. That's what made what they did prior to the 2013 season that much more interesting. But what made it truly impactful was surrounding their two big-ticket free agents -- Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher -- with some Minor League signings that have really paid off.
Acquired via free agency
|Scott Kazmir
|MiLB FA
|Nick Swisher
|Michael Bourn
|Ryan Raburn
|MiLB FA
|Rich Hill
|MiLB FA
|Jason Giambi
|MiLB FA
Scott Kazmir had been pitching in independent league ball in 2012. Ryan Raburn was coming off of a season with the Tigers that saw him post a .480 OPS as a part-timer. Cleveland's staff saw something in both, and Kazmir has been a rotation mainstay while Raburn has been impressive as a utilityman.
"We try to be relentless in looking at every way possible in acquiring talent," Antonetti said. "Those were guys who had down years, or were relatively low risk. Our pro scouts did a good job. There were reasons to think they would bounce back, and both guys have been huge contributors so far."
It's quite possible, though, that with all of these other moves, the 2013 season will be looked at as the time the Indians rolled the free-agent dice and won. Within a span of a few weeks, Cleveland signed both Swisher and Bourn for over $100 million combined. And while neither veteran has put up huge numbers, there's no doubt their additions have paid dividends.
"We had a very disappointing 2012 season," Antonetti said. "We wanted to do everything we could to improve our [ability to compete], not just in 2013, but beyond. We had a need for position players to help bridge the gap. We thought Michael and Nick could really help us and contribute, and both guys have certainly done that."

Exactly what was lost, and what has changed, is there on the maps.
The first, a snapshot of income distribution in Metro Vancouver in 1970, shows a uniform expanse of middle class neighbourhoods. They blanket all of Metro. Small enclaves of rich and poor areas exist within that expanse, but they are anomalies. It was a middle class world then, as close, maybe, as we've ever been to income equilibrium. Seen from the vantage of the present, there is in that map an element that is comforting.
The second map, of Metro Vancouver in 2005, shows a city transformed. It is not one city now but three — a city of the increasingly affluent, a city of the increasingly poor and a city of the middle class losing territory to both. Where the first map showed a unified city, the second shows one fracturing into pieces.
The maps are the work of a research team headed by Prof. David Ley of the University of B.C.'s geography department. Their study — Divisions and Disparities: Socio-Spatial Income Polarization in Greater Vancouver, 1970-2005 — is the first stage of a six-year research project looking at six Canadian metropolitan areas (each with its own research group).
"The objectives are to examine the causes, consequences and policy responses to these changes," Ley wrote in an email. "We plan to examine such factors as the emerging post-industrial urban economy with its dual labour market of good paying professional/managerial jobs but also minimum wage service jobs, part-time jobs, seasonal jobs and no jobs. Of related importance is the decline of good-paying unionized blue-collar jobs (and unionization in general). The declining contribution of the welfare state is also relevant. The difficulty that immigrants have in entering good-paying jobs is also a concern, and new immigrant status is becoming an important predictor of poverty areas."
In other words, how did we come to this, and what, if anything, should we do about it?
Using data from the Canadian census over the 35-year period, Ley and his group found a startling acceleration toward income disparity.
"In 1970," the study states "the majority of tracts (71% of them) were 'middle income,' with an average individual income within 20% of the CMA average of $5,220. Only 16% of tracts were above the mean, clustered primarily in West Vancouver and Vancouver's west side neighbourhoods, and in contrast 13% of tracts fell more than 20% below the mean, dominated by a centralized cluster of tracts coinciding with Vancouver's deprived Downtown Eastside district."
Thirty-five years later?
"But the middle-income city of the 1970s has gravitated toward a polarized city by the 2000s. By 2005, the share of the middle-income neighbourhoods had fallen to 53% of the region's census tracts. A substantial increase has occurred in the prevalence of the two poles, above and below middle-income status. The share of low- and very low-income neighbourhoods increased from 13% to 23% and the proportion of high- and very-high income neighbourhoods increased from 16% to 24% respectively."
And that trend of polarization, Ley wrote to me, is more likely to affect the middle class adversely.
"The low income proportion has grown faster than the high income proportion. So as districts leave middle income, they are more likely to drop into low income status than high income."
The polarization of high and low income earners, and the hollowing out of the middle class, has a distinct geographic expression in Metro Vancouver.
In another map, not shown here, Ley's team tracked areas by changes in individual income. Where once high-income neighbourhoods were confined to their traditional enclaves in West Vancouver and Vancouver's west side, Ley's research showed an significant expansion in areas where incomes have risen above the median, including almost all of the North Shore, much of the downtown peninsula, more than half of the city of Vancouver, parts of Richmond, Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, east and south Surrey and Langley Township.
Meanwhile, we've seen an increasing suburbanization of the metro area's poor and less-affluent — with just more than half of that component made of up immigrants. The truly destitute are still concentrated in the Downtown Eastside, but many lower-income residents have been forced out of the affluent inner city in a kind of diaspora, flung to the older urban and suburban fringes.
"In particular," the report stated, "clusters of neighbourhoods with declining average individual incomes relative to the metropolitan average include the SkyTrain transit corridor in the southeast of Vancouver, through parts of the suburban municipalities of Burnaby, New Westminster, and Coquitlam, and especially in Richmond, North Surrey, and Langley City."
Ley's conclusion is not a pretty one. He sees a city that continues to move toward one divided dangerously along widening inco me and racial lines.
"Further analysis of the three cities shows sharp distinctions involving immigration and ethnic status. City #1 (those parts of the city above median income) is overwhelmingly the home of the native-born. In contrast there has been a marked increase in immigrants in the remainder of Metro Vancouver, and especially in City #3 (those parts of the city below median income), which has shifted from a majority native-born in 1971 to an immigrant majority in 2006. City #3 also includes a plurality of visible minorities (61 per cent) while City #1 does not (23 per cent).
"To paraphrase W. B. Yeats, 'Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.'"
That centre continues to shrink. What happens if it disappears entirely, and we're left with nothing but two sides and a divide between them?

Norwalk soccer finally gets out of first round, beating Danbury
Recommended Video:
NORWALK -- The ghost of FCIACs past threatened to make an appearance at Norwalk's Friday night match against Danbury, as the No. 1-seeded Bears hoped to avoid losing to the No. 8 seed in the tournament for the third straight year.
But it was some missed opportunities -- including several point-blank chances for senior Kevin Joslyn -- that might have come back to haunt Norwalk. Clinging to a 1-0 lead, the Bears were finally able to exhale when Santiago Muriel sent a corner kick into the box that Joslyn headed past Danbury goalie Ian Shannon with 10:38 left in the game, giving a the Bears a 2-0 lead that would go final.
"They read the paper, they hear people talk," Norwalk coach Chris Laughton said. "This is the third year of having the No. 1 seed, third year of playing the No. 8 seed. The last two years we didn't get past the first round. But this is a different group, a different mentality. And I think the boys showed that."
The match was scoreless until 13:10 of the first half, when Norwalk's Nacho Navarro was pulled down in the box by Danbury's Jonathan Pena, earning a penalty kick. On the penalty kick, Navarro went low and to the right of Shannon, giving Norwalk a 1-0 lead.
"The PK took a lot of wind out of our sails," Danbury coach Sean Colley said. "That was a tough play for us. We were playing well, we were defending, and that just gives them a cheapie goal, so that was tough for us."
Norwalk, which was 14-1-1 during the regular season, had 13 shots on goal during the game. Danbury, which was 9-6-1 during the regular season (including a 2-0 loss to Norwalk) had nine shots on goal.
Norwalk set the tone for their evening on offense in the first minute of the game, when Michael Nowicki took a pass and missed a wide open net. Danbury quickly returned the favor as senior Kenny Wilson took a crossing pass and kicked it over the goal.
"We had a really great chance, we just volleyed it over the net, right after they had a chance. It was kind of tit for tat," Colley said.
As the match progressed, Norwalk missed several more golden scoring opportunities. Joslyn whiffed on a potential header off a crossing pass at the 30:00 mark of the first half. Jose Canahui of Norwalk sent in a crossing shot that hit the bar at 23:30. And at 15:20, Muriel shot over a Danbury wall and hit the post.
"We didn't capitalize on some of the opportunities we had," Laughton said. "We had some solid chances, we just didn't put them away. It's a credit to Danbury, they didn't quit after that first goal. They played us tough the entire game. It was just a hard-fought FCIAC tournament game."
After losing their first round game the last two years, Norwalk's win was a big relief.
"It's just a huge weight off our back. We just had to get past this game and now it feels like we can go all the way. With this out of the way, the possibilities are endless," Joslyn said.
Now Norwalk gets another shot at the Warriors.
"We said it to them after we lost to Wilton, that we hoped we would play them again," Laughton said. "Wilton is a great team. It should be an excellent game. I'm excited that we get to play them again."
Monday's semifinal game takes place at Fairfield Ludlowe at7 p.m.

How to Build an FE Big-Block Engine - Replica Power
Building an FE big-block to do an ERA Cobra replica proud
Owning a replica of one of Carroll Shelby's immensely popular 427 Cobras is about as close as most Ford enthusiasts will ever get to the real thing. With original examples going for high six-figures to well over a couple of million with race history, it is easy to see why a $40,000-$80,000 replica is so palatable to the Blue Oval fan. There are several ways to scratch the Cobra itch, too. From DIY kits like the Factory Five Racing Mk 4, starting at around $13,000, to complete "turnkey minus" examples like Backdraft and others (where the car is complete minus drivetrain and a local dealer finishes the car for you), options abound. ERA Replica Automobiles offers the best of both worlds with a kit option and a turn-key complete car option (through its parent company).
David Wade's ERA build is currently at the point where a decision has to be made about what is going to motivate his replica. While many owners power their replicas with small-block Fords and even the new modular engines found in the current Mustang, for some people a replica just isn't "right" without an FE big-block cinched down on the mounts—and this is David's thinking as well. However, David wasn't going to settle for a base 390ci FE with some dress-up parts to look the part of the famed 427. No, he wants his replica to be able to walk the walk and look right doing it. Enter Brent Lykins and his Lykins Motorsports (formerly B2 Motorsports) shop in Kentucky. Brent is well known in FE circles for building some stout power plants and David asked Brent to put together a package that would put the fear of God in anyone crazy enough to get in the passenger seat.
Building an FE with more than 600 lb-ft of torque for a 2,400-pound car with a 90-inch wheelbase sounds like a recipe for disaster, but having driven similar setups (and owning a Factory Five with more than 500 lb-ft of torque ourselves), we know firsthand that these replicas can put the power down with the right suspension and tires. Plus, we must admit it's also a bit of bragging rights, too, as there's nothing like climbing out of one of these replicas and answering the age old question of how much horsepower and watching the jaw of the person who queried us hit the floor.
David's goal was a period-look engine, so Brent was instructed to keep chrome and billet to a minimum and use a traditional V-belt accessory drive. Furthermore, even though David wanted a lot of horsepower, he wanted streetability above all. Cobra replicas are often used for parade and homecoming duties and low-speed driveability was paramount to the project. This is all easily handled by the large displacement Brent had planned. A big-block with 600 horsepower can easily make power down low, whereas a small-block, even a stroker small-block, needs a lot more rpm to make the same power. Let's take a look at David's FE as it comes to life at Lykins Motorsports.

Thought I was on to something...

In Reply to: Fish heads, fish heads posted by ESC on April 15, 2003
: : : : : : : : : : I have a professor who has offered two much needed points for the student who can find the origings of the phrase "to ply with fish heads". Is there any one out there who can tell me this, I would so appreciate it.
: : : : : : : : : : Misty
: : : : : : : : : I couldn't find anything. Could you give us a clue or two? Is this a British, American or other phrase?
: : : : : : : : I honestly have no idea
: : : : : : : www.google.com gives precisely zero hits for both +ply +"with fishheads" and +ply +"with fish heads". On that basis I suspect that your professor has either been drinking or that he's being sneaky and has re-rendered the phrase into a cryptic form. However, if the latter is true, I can't see what the original might have been. I hope you keep us informed once the prof has revealed the answer.
: : : : : : : As one would entice a mouse with cheese, so one would ply a cat with fisheads, a form of bribery or coersion. Once the fish was eaten, the remains, head, tail and bones were usually thrown to the cat.My dear old Irish grandmother used to say this. Of course, she also told me "Go whistle your ducks to water," which still begs explaining.
: : : : : I didn't find anything specific on "ply with fishheads", but I did find a couple of sites which seem to indicate that sending someone fishheads instead of flowers as an expression of being unhappy with them in some way could give rise to such an expression... Here are a couple of links.
: : : : : http://fishheads.diaryland.com/about.html
: : : : : http://www.senddeadfish.com/home.asp
: : : : I toyed with the idea that the phrase might be literally. Actually trying to attract something (other fish, cats, etc.) with fish heads.
: : : Perhaps it's the bait for a wild goose chase....
: : You have such a way with words.
: By Barnes & Barnes
: (Chorus and first verse)
: Fish heads fish heads
: Roly poly fish heads
: fish heads fish heads
: eat them up, yum!
: In the morning, laughing happy fishheads,
: In the evening, floating in the soup.
It occurred to me that fans of Phish call themselves Phish Heads, so I chased that all over Google and came up dry. There's another band, The Radiators, from New Orleans, whose fans call themselves Fish Heads (no accounting for self-deprecation) and I looked through all 20 (!) of their CDs for a song title, but no luck there either. I guess I'll never get the 2 points extra credit, but can I get an E for ... futility?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's "conscious uncoupling" is complete.
A Los Angeles judge finalized the couple's divorce Thursday, two years after they announced their split, according to court papers obtained by E! News.
The exes reached a settlement in May, with both parties giving up their rights to spousal support while determining child custody, visitation and support in a private agreement, according to court documents previously obtained by E! News.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Paltrow, 43, and Martin, 39, have made co-parenting daughter Apple, 12, and son Moses, 10, a top priority, and despite their personal breakup, the exes have remained close friends.
"Though we couldn't stay in a romantic relationship, our values are very much around the importance of family and the importance of those relationships and I'm lucky that we're aligned in that way," Paltrow said at a #BlogHer15 conference in New York last year. "And it's been hard, and you know, like, we've gone through really difficult times with it but we've always said these children are our priority."
"What that really means is, 'Even though today, you hate me and you never want to see me again, like, we're going to brunch, 'cause it's Sunday and that's what we'll do!' You know, like, 'That's what's happening!'" she explained. "Like, the children are our commitment."
Paltrow is currently dating "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk while Martin has been romantically linked to Jennifer Lawrence and Annabelle Wallis post-split.

At the beginning of Bartlett's political and profound epic play, twelve completely different people across London wake up from an identical, terrifying dream – monsters and explosions, thousands of voices. At the same moment, a young man named John returns home after years away to find economic gloom, ineffective protest, and a Prime Minister about to declare war. But John has a vision for the future and a way to make it happen.
Coincidences, omens and visions collide with political reality in this ambitious and dextrous play, which depicts a London both familiar and strange, a London staring into the void.
13 explores the meaning of personal responsibility, the hold that the past has over the future and the nature of belief itself.
The play was first performed in 2011 at the National Theatre, London.

Call him old-fashioned, but John has long been a supporter of everyday notebook use. Whether it's to sketch in, or in which to record thoughts of thankfulness, he rarely leaves home without one. So upon coming across Public – Supply, and learning about how their notebooks are used to help support public schools in the United States, a partnership was almost inevitable. Eager to encourage generations of Fluevogers to keep scribbling, dreaming, and learning, John commissioned the design and production of this limited edition Public – Supply Notebook, making exactly 45, one for every year he's been in shoe-business, available at each Fluevog store and online here.

Today, MetroPCS announced yet another addition to its stable of prepaid Android smartphones. One of the pricier off-contract handsets, the device retails for $459. So, what do you get for a significant portion of your rent for the month? Well, for a Metro PCS phone, it's actually a pretty decent spec list:
- 4.3" Super AMOLED display
- 1Ghz processor
- 8MP rear-facing camera w/ flash
- 1.3MP front-facing camera
- 32GB of "external memory"*
*Note: It's a little unclear what they mean by "32GB of external memory." The device's spec page also lists a 16GB memory card, so it may be that the device has an SD card slot that supports up to 32GB, but only includes a 16GB card.Read More

The study will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), held July 7-11 in San Diego.
"The conclusion from this study is that you should be cautious about releasing the psoas tendon, particularly in cases where there is some structural instability in the hip, specifically increased femoral anteversion, because although the tendon may be causing pain, it is also providing some dynamic support to the hip so it can cause problems if it is released," said Bryan T. Kelly, M.D., who led the study and is co-director of the Center for Hip Pain and Preservation (www.hss.edu/hippain) at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York.
The study received the 2011 Herodicus Award given annually by the Herodicus Society at the AOSSM meeting for the best paper submitted by an orthopedic resident or sports medicine fellow.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur (thigh bone) rotates within the cup-shaped socket of the pelvis. The head of the femur is supported by an angled neck which joins to the long thigh bone. At the base of the femoral neck is a boney protrusion. The psoas tendon is one of two hip flexor tendons that attaches to this protrusion. When the pelvis grows faster than the psoas tendon, this tendon becomes tight and snaps over the pelvis during walking or other activity. This condition, which can be painful, is known as a snapping psoas tendon.
"The reason that it snaps usually has to do with the anatomy of the pelvis. We usually see it in adolescent hips where the pelvis is growing at a faster rate than the tendon can accommodate for the growth," said Dr. Kelly. "Structurally the tendon is not long enough to accommodate the bony anatomy."
Doctors usually treat a snapping psoas tendon with physical therapy that involves stretching and strengthening, anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids, but if this doesn't work, doctors resort to surgically lengthening the tendon. Because the tendon does not have the ability to stretch, surgeons cut slits in the tendon in what is called a partial release of the tendon or a fractional lengthening. "You cut it in a way that allows the muscle to elongate," Dr. Kelly said.
Studies have shown that arthroscopic and open surgery can achieve similar outcomes for this condition. Few studies, however, have studied whether abnormalities in hip structure, specifically femoral anteversion, can impact outcomes. In most people, the center of the femoral neck points toward the center of the hip socket. Femoral anteversion is a condition in which the center of the femoral neck leans toward the front of the socket. This causes the knee and foot on the affected side to rotate internally or twist toward the midline of the body.
In December 2006, HSS researchers started a prospective registry of all hip arthroscopy procedures performed during a three-year period, 2006 to 2009, by a single, high-volume arthroscopic hip surgeon, Dr. Kelly. The study presented at AOSSM included all patients who underwent a psoas tendon lengthening at the time of surgery, a minimum of six months follow-up, and a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan to detect femoral anteversion. Patients were not included in the study if they had previous tendon hip surgery or hip trauma.
Sixty-seven patients underwent arthroscopic lengthening of a symptomatic psoas tendon, either in isolation or in conjunction with treatment for hip impingement. CT scans showed that 19 of 67 patients had high anteversion. The researchers assessed clinical outcomes both before and after surgery with modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS) and Hip Outcome Score (HOS) questionnaires. These are commonly used to evaluate a patient's ability to carry out specific activities that involve the hip: activities of daily living, such as climbing stairs, and athletic activities, such as running and jumping.
Prior to surgery, patients who had high anteversion scored significantly worse in terms of athletic activities on the HOS, but there was no difference in either questionnaire scores in terms of daily living activities. After surgery, patients who had high anteversion scored significantly worse on the MHHS questionnaire with regard to athletic and daily living activities, but the HOS scores were similar between the two groups. Twice as many patients who had high anteversion had to undergo revision surgery.
The researchers say the psoas tendon may be an important stabilizer in the hips of patients with high anteversion, and the tendon's release in these patients may result in a delayed return to activities after surgery and inferior outcomes.
"The results of this study indicate that there are certain groups of patients that respond very favorably to surgical treatment of the psoas tendon, but there are other groups of patients that due to mechanical reasons, surgeons should exercise extreme caution in proceeding with any tendon release around the hip," Dr. Kelly said. He said these patients should be considered for alternative treatment strategies.
Other authors of the study are lead author and orthopedic surgery resident Peter D. Fabricant, M.D., and Katrina Dela Torre, R.N., M.Sc., at HSS, and Asheesh Bedi, M.D., former HSS fellow now at the University of Michigan.

Captain Becker, do you have a favorite plane?
Captain Becker, Which do you prefer flying, an Airbus or a Boeing?
I was fortunate enough to fly Boeing aircraft for 17 years and Airbus models for 20, and I felt perfectly at ease in both. In the case of Airbus, my generation of pilots had the chance to get to know new technologies and very different cockpit layouts. That was particularly interesting.
Do you have a favorite plane?
Every pilot likes "their" plane best, and that's fine because we all need to feel comfortable in what we're flying and appreciate its capabilities. So never ask an Airbus captain if he prefers the Boeing 747, and by the same token, don't bring up the Airbus A380 with the captain of a jumbo jet. But joking aside, all of these aircraft are safe and handle well in the air.
Yoke or sidestick – are they still a world apart?
There was lots of discussion when the sidestick first arrived. Thirty years ago, many people thought everything on Airbus aircraft was automatic and that the pilots just sat back and watched as they flew, which was not true, of course. Today, things are pretty much the same in both, and Boeing also uses electronic steering.
How do different types of aircraft differ most?
Not so much in their technology, but in their range and endurance. Long-haul planes can stay in the air for 14 hours. Short- and medium-haul aircraft are only in the air for four to five. For a pilot, the biggest difference lies in the airplane's weight and size.

Dooner sold milk and cream to Mrs. Parsons in 1878 and 1879.

BOULDER — — Football players are sometimes described as having a nose for the football. Colorado defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe has eyes for it.
Uzo-Diribe said he is always looking for the football when trying to tackle anyone who happens to be carrying it and doing so has helped him force five fumbles this season and 10 in his career. He leads the nation in forced fumbles entering the second half of the season.
"A lot of these guys tend not to have great ball security or protect the ball a lot," Uzo-Diribe said. "So when I see them trying to make a move or running with it out, I'm usually trying to go for the ball."
He hopes to separate an Arizona Wildcat from the football Saturday night at Folsom Field (6:07 p.m., Pac-12 Network) in a pivotal game for the Buffs' hopes of becoming bowl eligible this season. It's one of just three or four games remaining on the schedule that appear winnable for CU, which has lost 11 straight in the Pac-12 Conference.
Arizona has fumbled the ball 12 times in six games, but it has lost just four of them.
When Uzo-Diribe causes another fumble, it will be the 11th forced fumble of his career tying the Colorado school record held by former linebackers Brian Cabral (1975-77) and Barry Remington (1982-86).
Uzo-Diribe needs two more forced fumbles to tie the single-season school record of seven set by former linebacker Jashon Sykes in 1999.
Considering Uzo-Diribe spent the bulk of his time at CU playing under coaching staffs and support staffs that included Cabral and Sykes, you might expect him to credit them for helping him develop the skill. But Uzo-Diribe said he didn't really begin to focus on forcing turnovers until coach Mike MacIntyre and his staff were hired because this staff emphasizes takeaways.
"I think it's something I've really developed, actually, when these coaches got here," Uzo-Diribe said. "We've never really worked on stripping the ball as much as we do now. I don't think we've ever worked on stripping the ball like we do now. So it's definitely something I've worked on and got better at under this coaching staff."
Uzo-Diribe said under previous coaches causing turnovers was always mentioned, but this coaching staff sets aside portions of every practice to work on the skills that help create turnovers.
And it's not just defensive line coach Jim Jeffcoat working with Uzo-Diribe and his fellow defensive linemen. Each position group on defense rotates between each defensive coach when working on turnovers. So defensive linemen are taught techniques for creating fumbles and work on catching balls with secondary coaches as well as defensive coordinator Kent Baer, who coaches linebackers.
Linebackers and defensive backs not only hear from their position coaches but they also spend a few minutes in each practice working with Jeffcoat, who forced 18 fumbles during a lengthy career in the NFL.
"Chidera is just a playmaker," fellow defensive end De'Jon Wilson said. "If he sees a play, he's going to get it whether that's tipping the ball or stripping it. He's going to do it. It's one of our drills we do every day and it works in the game."
Uzo-Diribe said developing a reputation as a guy who causes turnovers has only fueled his desire to cause more of them. He said he pays close attention in film study to how each quarterback, running back and receiver handles the ball. CU coaches also make a point at the beginning of each week to point out which members of the opposing team are fumble risks.
Uzo-Diribe gets excited to see the right guy with a loose technique running his way.
"I definitely think it's a skill, something you have to be conscious of and practice at in order to become good at it," Uzo-Diribe said.

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Insufficient meat products, fat of unidentifiable origin, use of controversial fillers.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat ingredient. It is the sole meat product in the food.
The primary grain in this food is rice. Rice is a decent quality grain; however there are three rice products in the top four ingredients of this food. If they were not split, then it is likely that rice would be the primary ingredient in the food.
Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs than egg product. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Welcome to Mondaq Comparative Guides - your comparative global Q&A guide.
Our Comparative Guides provide an overview of some of the key points of law and practice and allow you to compare regulatory environments and laws across multiple jurisdictions.
Start by selecting your Topic of interest below. Then choose your Regions and finally refine the exact Subjects you are seeking clarity on to view detailed analysis provided by our carefully selected internationally recognised experts.
Answer ... A party must raise an objection to the jurisdiction of the tribunal no later than the submission of the statement of defence. A plea that the tribunal is exceeding the scope of its authority shall be raised as soon as such a matter is raised during the proceedings. However, in either of the cases mentioned above, a tribunal may admit a later plea if it considers the delay justified (Article 16(2) of the Model Law). Similar provisions may be found in Sections 21(4), (5), (6), and (7) of the AA.
For more information about this answer please contact: Alvin Yeo and Koh Swee Yen from WongPartnership LLP
Answer ... Yes, the arbitral tribunal can rule on its own jurisdiction, including the existence or validity of an arbitration agreement. This doctrine of competence-competence is provided for under Article 16 of the Model Law and Section 21 of the AA.
Answer ... A party should typically raise its jurisdictional objection before the tribunal first, before it turns to the courts of the seat. There is a possibility that a party could simply not participate in the arbitration by stating its jurisdictional objection and, after obtaining a jurisdictional ruling from the tribunal as a preliminary question, apply to the High Court to challenge the jurisdiction.
A party may apply to the High Court challenging either positive or negative jurisdictional rulings by the tribunal. If the tribunal rules that it has jurisdiction as a preliminary question, or on a plea at any stage of the arbitral proceedings that it has no jurisdiction, any party may apply to the High Court within 30 days of receiving notice of the jurisdictional ruling to challenge the same (Section 21(9) of the AA; Section 10(3) of the IAA).
However, a tribunal's preliminary ruling on jurisdiction can be challenged under Article 16(3) of the Model Law only if the ruling does not deal with the merits of the case (AQZ v ARA [2015] 2 SLR 972). If the ruling on jurisdiction also deals with the merits and is an award within the meaning of the IAA, recourse can then be had only to Article 34 of the Model Law and the provisions therein in relation to the setting aside of arbitral awards.
In reviewing the tribunal's jurisdictional rulings, the Singapore courts apply a de novo standard of review (PT First Media TBK v Astro Nusantara International BV [2014] 1 SLR 372; Sanum Investments Ltd v Government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic [2016] 5 SLR 536). Even if a party does not apply to a court challenging the jurisdictional ruling of the tribunal pursuant to and within the timeframe stipulated under Article 16(3) of the Model Law, this does not preclude that same party from subsequently relying on the tribunal's lack of jurisdiction to resist enforcement of the final substantive arbitral award (PT First Media TBK v Astro Nusantara International BV [2014] 1 SLR 372).

I recently brought world class rescuer and consummate survivalist Steve Marinconz along with me as we took to the woods to try out the first few missions in Recovery Search & Rescue Simulation. Things didn't go well.
I thought from the beginning we'd be saving poor hikers, the kind that tend to get attacked by bears. Or maybe campers who've tripped over guide ropes and grazed their knee - but no, the closest we got to saving anything was searching for a boy's lucky red hat.
Recovery Search & Rescue Simulation is available on Windows now.

By Kendra Heard
North Lake News-Register Staff Writer
Sophomore Dely Chavez is kicking it on and off the field. No matter the time of the year, Chavez is studying in the classroom or training on the field.
As a leader of the North Lake College soccer team, she is always busy and makes it a priority to motivate her teammates.
In addition to becoming a better soccer player, she wants to also maintain good grades.
"She has knowledge of the game, and is a reserved player," Head Coach Adrian Gonzalez said. "She's very dedicated to her studies and her goals.
Most of the girls look up to her because she has a good mentality, a positive attitude, and has the determination to compete."
Chavez has been playing soccer since she was 9 years old and played for Irving High School. She currently plays defender for NLC, where her job on the field is to keep the other team from scoring.
She also motivates her teammates to get the job done.
Her inspiration comes from world-renowned soccer player Lionel Messi, and her father. Her jersey, No. 4, is also a homage to other famous defenders.
"He's not cocky at all and he's a very humble person," said Chavez about Messi.
She admires his sportsmanship on the field, too.
"The way he is able to take on many players and do fascinating things on the field, but make it look so simple is just amazing."
Despite the time-consuming efforts she puts in studying and practicing, Chavez says she enjoys the time she spends with teammates.
"My favorite memories would have to be random things at practice," Chavez said. "Whenever one of us falls, we converse about it after the game. I think it's cool that everyone gets along so well."
When she's not keeping opponents off the score sheet she enjoys riding bikes, going to amusements parks and being outdoors.
After completing her associate degree this spring, Chavez plans to transfer to UNT and major in pre-med biology.
She wants to keep her options open in case she decides to play soccer at a university.
One of her favorite professors at North Lake is chemistry teacher Christopher McAdams, who she says is passionate about chemistry, making the subject fun.
"I just want to begin my career," said Chavez.
"I want to accomplish what I envision for myself."
