and men's autonomy but also create new forms of gender oppression and undermine broader efforts towards equality.
We know that addressing issues of violence against women is intrinsically connected to society's attitudes towards women and girls and intrinsically linked to the role of women in society. The World Health Organisation suggests that promoting gender equity is a critical part of violence prevention. Domestic and family violence and sexual assaults are gendered crimes. Gender stereotyping, sex discrimination and unequal power relations between men and women are significant factors contributing to the prevalence of violence against men and women. Traditional gender roles and attitudes, whether held by women or by men, are associated with greater acceptance of violence against women, while attitudes that support gender equality are associated with less acceptance of violence.
What is trickier is changing how work often performed by women—nursing, elderly care, disability support care and child care—is valued by society. That is a big attitudinal difference that we would like to resolve. We must remain resolved to hang on to our wings, to ensure that we do not go backwards. We must remain resolved to draw out and understand the links between gender equity and the reduction of violence against women.
In the spirit of the International Women's Day theme this year, we must be bold for change and we must work collectively across all political divides to ensure that gender equity gains are achieved and maintained. I support this motion.
MS BERRY (Ginninderra—Deputy Chief Minister, Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Women and Minister for Sport and Recreation) (11.51): I am happy to support this motion, which acknowledges the work that we are doing and the need to keep doing it to make sure that we are making progress on gender equality and supporting women to access the services that they need to participate in life in the way they want to.
I have stood in this place many times and talked about the great achievements that have been made and the ways the ACT government seeks to support them, and also about the work that we need to keep doing so that we can continue to make real change for our city. Just yesterday I gave a ministerial statement on the status of women in the ACT. It included a long list of achievements and work being done already. Our community is doing really well. But, importantly, we cannot stop there; we have to do more.
I would like to touch on a few other things that it is timely to talk about here today. I am pleased that the motion notes the importance of supporting people's reproductive health by having a clear and defined policy on reproductive health, providing support for accessing termination services, and continuing to work to identify and address barriers to accessing termination services for Canberrans. I agree that this is extremely important. The government's policy, I believe, is clear and well defined. This is an area that will from time to time need to be reviewed and refined, to make sure that

Wikileaks reveals US hopes for environmental activism in China
Diplomats heartened by 'willingness of citizens to voice their complaints' during protest against PX chemical plant in Xiamen but noted government's later change of tack

I have waded more than half way through the 3,000-odd documents from the Beijing embassy and consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Chengdu that were released by Wikileaks last week. As I have reported in recent days, the 2006-2008 cables contains some intriguing nuggets about China's environment, including strong US concerns about nuclear safety, tiger conservation and, pollution.
Here I want to flag up another topic - civil society - and how it is reported to Washington. In 2007, US diplomats reported on the protests against the paraxylene (PX) chemical plant in Xiamen, Fujian province. They were heartened by the display of people power, which forced the local government to move a 10.8 bn yuan (£9.9bn) factory that would have almost doubled the city's GDP. A cable from the Guangzhou consulate on 7th May said this event showed a rising civic consciousness and a more responsive government:
This case highlights the growing public awareness of environmental issues in China and the willingness of citizens to voice their complaints. In this case, the threat of public protests, and the resulting media attention, proved more effective than a petition to the central government. Though the future of the project is unclear, it appears that the Xiamen government - which prides itself on its environmental activism - is sensitive to the charge that it has ignored environmental protection for the sake of economic growth. (Full cable)
Less than a year later, however, the same consulate was decidedly less upbeat after another demonstration against a chemical plant in Fujian. This one in Dongshan ended with baton-wielding police, censorship and a harsher response from the authorities:
...the government's use of traditional tactics - including media blackouts and the deployment of baton-wielding police -- suggests growing official inflexibility, especially after the government's public defeat in Xiamen.
(Full cable)
This shows how difficult it can be to track the direction of a government that steps forward one day on environment activism and then back the next. That confusing dance was evident recently in the very different official responses to the middle-class demonstration in urban Dalian and protests by farmers in Yunnan, as I noted last month.
There are many other intriguing topics in the cables. Environmentally-minded Wikigeeks may also be interested in the railway to Tibet and its possible link to mining , on algae outbreaks and the effort to clear them, on the Nansha Petrochemical plant, the links between water and ethnicity and US approval of fired environment minister Xie Zhenhua's appointment as vice minister in the National Reform and Development Commission.
It is interesting too to compare the approach of diplomats and journalists. In many cases, consulates were following up on stories that had previously broken in the media. On other occasions, they went into more scientific depth than is usually possible in a news story. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the relatively low security classification of the cables, there is little evidence of a network of high-level contacts (though, I share concerns that Wikileaks has not done enough to protect the identities of a few sources who might be at risk). The analysis of emerging trends suggests that US diplomats - at least at the level of these nonclassified cables - often struggle as much as reporters to get reliable information or to understand which way the policy wind is blowing.
One striking feature was the disproportionate number of environment-related cables came from the Guangzhou consulate. where someone appeared to have taken the initiative on wildlife conservation, civil society and pollution issues. By contrast, it was striking how little environment news was passed on by other US diplomatic posts, particularly given that this was a period when China became the world's biggest emitter, biggest source of pollution into the Pacific and a driver for resource extraction around the globe. Perhaps this reflects the personalities of the diplomats. Alternatively this apparent discrepency might be explained by cables I have yet to see.
I am travelling now, but will trawl further through the Wikileaks pages when I return. Though several years old, many topics remain relevent and these diplomatic documents are a useful insight into US diplomatic perceptions of what is happening in China. Grateful for any tips.

Q: Can Flutter Web replace doing regular websites? So I'm having a client that wants an online-coaching website , and I'm an flutter app developer , I've never used flutter web, and I was wondering if I can do the work in Flutter Web instead of learning Angular or Reactjs etc , because I'm familiar with flutter and it will take less time to grasp the concepts .

A: Answer:
YES, 100%, it will work very well. No need to learn anything new. Same code will also create a website.
Guidelines are here
Exceptions:
In case you are using packages, double-check that those are compatible with "web" (most are compatible but otherwise, you can avoid those)
Bonus information:
You can publish to  Firebase... It is free and very fast.

I may be mistaken, but it appears to me that a nuke causes the auto-shield to turn on. I don't think this is a useful event, I'd rather see only a physical attack turn on the auto-shield since a nuke passes through anyway. I find myself turning off the auto-shield since I've been getting nukes to my colony. Then I need to keep turning it back on afterward.
On the other hand, someone could use a nuke to test to see if someone has shields I suppose. Although, as stated in my case, it wouldn't be accurate.
Going back to the nukes damaging units leaving an outpost, but not destroying 10%, I would think a message to the attacker more along the lines of '0 units destroyed, all other units reduced to 1 hit point' would be more satisfying than just '0 units destroyed', it made me think my nuke was ineffective.
It seems wrong that on normal tick servers you can upgrade an OP after 12 ticks, but still need 24 ticks of control before you can use a gate. This should be reduced to 12.
E2 A5 Rank 1 in SoLD Rank 1.
E3 A2 rank 18 in SD rank 1.
E3 A3 rank 10 in SOLD rank 3.
F2 A3 rank 15 in FEAR rank 3.
Nukes and gates were always like that on old client and no one complained then. It should be set you can't upgrade the OP till you have full control.
You can raze an OP at 12 ticks, you still need 24 to do any upgrades and 24 is still considered "full" control of an outpost.
Oh did you fix it? Because last I checked, OPs at 12 control can be upgraded.
I'll have to double check if I can find a world I've taken any ops recently... they're all ending.
Bug fixed, will be on next update.

If you lived in Kazakhstan instead of Ecuador, you would:
In Ecuador, the average life expectancy is 77 years (74 years for men, 80 years for women). In Kazakhstan, that number is 71 years (66 years for men, 76 years for women).
make 2.3 times more money
Ecuador has a GDP per capita of $11,500, while in Kazakhstan, the GDP per capita is $26,300.
Ecuador has a top tax rate of 35.0%. In Kazakhstan, the top tax rate is 10.0%.
In Ecuador, approximately 64.0 women per 100,000 births die during labor. In Kazakhstan, 12.0 women do.
In Ecuador, approximately 16.4 children die before they reach the age of one. In Kazakhstan, on the other hand, 19.6 children do.
In Ecuador, approximately 54.1% of the population has internet access. In Kazakhstan, about 76.8% do.
Ecuador spends 5.0% of its total GDP on education. Kazakhstan spends 3.0% of total GDP on education.
spend 52.2% less on healthcare
Ecuador spends 9.2% of its total GDP on healthcare. In Kazakhstan, that number is 4.4% of GDP.
Kazakhstan: At a glance
Kazakhstan is a sovereign country in Central Asia, with a total land area of approximately 2,699,700 sq km. Ethnic Kazakhs, a mix of Turkic and Mongol nomadic tribes who migrated to the region by the 13th century, were rarely united as a single nation. The area was conquered by Russia in the 18th century, and Kazakhstan became a Soviet Republic in 1936. During the 1950s and 1960s agricultural "Virgin Lands" program, Soviet citizens were encouraged to help cultivate Kazakhstan's northern pastures. This influx of immigrants (mostly Russians, but also some other deported nationalities) skewed the ethnic mixture and enabled non-ethnic Kazakhs to outnumber natives. Non-Muslim ethnic minorities departed Kazakhstan in large numbers from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s and a national program has repatriated about a million ethnic Kazakhs back to Kazakhstan. These trends have allowed Kazakhs to become the titular majority again. This dramatic demographic shift has also undermined the previous religious diversity and made the country more than 70 percent Muslim. Kazakhstan's economy is larger than those of all the other Central Asian states largely due to the country's vast natural resources. Current issues include: developing a cohesive national identity; managing Islamic revivalism; expanding the development of the country's vast energy resources and exporting them to world markets; diversifying the economy outside the oil, gas, and mining sectors; enhancing Kazakhstan's economic competitiveness; developing a multiparty parliament and advancing political and social reform; and strengthening relations with neighboring states and other foreign powers.

Q: Eclipse Plugin Development: How to access code written in the eclipse editor I'm making an Eclipse plug-in that requires access to code written in the Eclipse editor. I've followed the process mentioned in the link.
Accessing Eclipse editor code
But it's showing filepath instead of code in the message box. The getEditorInput() of IEditorEditor class isn't doing what it should do according to the link. Here's my code. Please help me find what i'm doing wrong.
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
    IWorkbenchWindow window = HandlerUtil.getActiveWorkbenchWindowChecked(event);

    IEditorPart editor = ((IWorkbenchPage) PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
            .getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage()).getActiveEditor();

    IEditorInput input = (IEditorInput) editor.getEditorInput();     // accessing code from eclipse editor

    String code = input.toString();

    MessageDialog.openInformation(
            window.getShell(),
            "Project",
            code);

    return null;
}

And here's snap of the output.

A: You can do this two different ways. This way works regardless of whether the contents are backed by a file on disk or not.
This method gets the text IDocument from the editor, which is how the contents are stored and accessed for most uses. StyledText is a widget, and unless you are doing something with Widgets and Controls, it's not the right way in. For that you're going to go from the editor part, through the ITextEditor interface, and then use the IDocumentProvider with the current editor input. This is skipping the instanceof check you'd want to do beforehand, as well as anything you might have to do if this is a page in a MultiPageEditorPart (there's no standard way for handling those).
org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument document =
    ((org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.ITextEditor)editor).
    getDocumentProvider().
    getDocument(input);

You can get, and modify, the contents through the IDocument.

Bidirectional rotatable Ring Command bezel. Blue Cerachrom insert in ceramic, engraved numerals and inscription
Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding, regatta chronograph
Ring Command Bezel
Rolex achieved perfection when it turned its attention to redefining the purpose and functionality of the bezel. Typically, a bezel operates independently from the internal mechanism; however, the Ring Command bezel in the Yacht-Master II regatta chronograph operates in conjunction with it.
The Yacht-Master II is equipped with a new dial, and new hands that are characteristic of Rolex Professional models, enhancing legibility and sharpening its aesthetic appeal. The dial now features a triangular hour marker at 12 o'clock and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o'clock for more intuitive reading of the watch. A luminescent disc on the hour hand clearly distinguishes it from the minute hand. The Yacht-Master II's countdown can be programmed for a duration of between 1 and 10 minutes. The programming is memorized by the mechanism so that at a reset it returns to the previous setting. Once launched, the countdown can be synchronized on the fly to match the official race countdown.
The Rolex Yacht-Master and Yacht-Master II embody the spirit of the sailor. Inspired by the rich heritage that has bound Rolex to the world of sailing since the 1950s, the Yacht-Master blends function and style, while the Yacht-Master II brings together the finest in Rolex technology to create a regatta chronograph built for yachting competition.

For the one-hundred sixteenth edition of the GeoGearHeads we revisit the subject of batteries (see Beta.01 and Beta.02 for the first two). The Bad Cop and DarrylW4 started with some information about Heavy Duty, Alkaline, Lithium, NiCd, NiMH, and LSD NiMH AA and AAA batteries. Then they looked at a question from Wet_Coaster about NiMH performance in cold weather. There were a couple of resources from Panasonic and a PDF by Boguslaw Pierozynski with some helpful information. LANMonkey also asked about the life and charging of NiHM batteries. They then tackled the rechargeable batteries for mobile devices – LiOn, LiPo, and Lead-Acid. Some helpful tips were shared from Lifehacker and more information is available from Battery University. They wrapped the show up talking a little about fuel cells and the Brunton Hydrogen Reactor.
Congratulations to LANMonkey for submitting the winning answer for this week's question. Thanks to Cache At Night for their donation of this week's gift!

I am around 2500 hours and I am glad they didn't already apply; if they did we would have nothing for which to strive. These milestones give longevity to a game as each match gains significance.
But I don't want to double what I have already don't and more just for the skins, but it's your opinion and I'm not the kind of person to hate you over it.
I totally get the viewpoint that the wins you've accumulated don't count towards the commendation at all, but think of it this way: if you're still on the 152 grind, you can work towards that alongside the Magnum skin(s) you're going for.
it's just too late for me, if they added these skins months ago maybe I would care but they didn't and now other, way better, more interesting, and more valuable games are coming out.. so now the Halo series will rot, covered in dust until something magical happens that somehow brings me back.
exactly waht happended to me. Havent played halo 5 this much since when i got the game lol.
The new magnum skins do nothing for this game 343 let it die to easily by: spamming playlists, letting Smurfs exsist, and changing the guns two years into the games life. They ultimately made half the guns useless. Halo 5 didn't just die, it committed suicide. It is nobody's fault except 343' s same reason the forums died and mcc is still dead. Halo 5 had a great launch and all 343 really needed to do was ride that out with minor updates like they did not add 12 social playlists at a time.
You can't work for anything in this game because games take 20 mins to find.
I don't really get the whole, "Oh, I guess I'm done playing the game because I'm never gonna get another 600 hours." That's basically what you're saying in your post. These skins are mainly for people still playing the game. If you're still playing the game, you're naturally going to get all the skins over time even if it takes a good while. Everything can't be instant gratification. It also gives you another reason to keep playing.
It would be a stupid thing to do on 343's part if they let your wins already count because then a lot of people wouldn't have to do anything to get them if they already have the win amount which means one less thing to keep you playing. It also won't give people a reason to come back and play if they already stopped playing H5 if they have the win amount as well.
Maybe you can't find games, but I found one in about 45 seconds the other night. They made this commendation apply to all the matchmaking except for Firefight so if you can't find games in one playlist you can try a different one.
I still play a couple hours a week here and there, I don't play much else its just kind of relaxing and mindless for me since I'm not competitive, its not something I'm aiming for or have to have but its nice to see a progression bar slowly moving up for a cool item. I think if anything the amount of wins is unreasonable for how late it is. Chances are most people won't ever get to see them before infinite comes out and that's a shame.
Hopefully this is a glimpse into the future of how cosmetics will be earned in infinite. As for the skins, seems like a futile attempt to keep population up. But I guess it gives something extra for those that still play.

ESPN still pushing Jake Locker as 2010 first overall pick
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 27, 2011, 11:14 AM EDT
ESPN's E:60 program featured a profile this week of Jake Locker, the former Washington quarterback who eschewed last year's NFL draft to return to play his senior season. It was a fine look at Locker's off-field life, and it portrayed Locker as a good young man, which I have no doubt that he is. But it was also a classic example of a news outlet creating a false storyline to boost the narrative it wanted to push.
That narrative was explained at the outset, as E:60 correspondent Lisa Salters and executive producer Andy Tennant both said Locker would have been the first overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft — even though that claim is almost certainly false.
"Last year he was projected to be the No. 1 pick, but in one of those rare moves, he decided to go back for his senior season," Salters said. "That worked out OK for Sam Bradford, because he ended up being the No. 1 pick."
Tennant added, "Bradford got $50 million guaranteed last year. This guy left $50 million on the table, and there's no way possible that he doesn't regret this decision."
The reality is that it's impossible for anyone to know what would have happened if Locker had entered last year's draft, and it's ridiculous for ESPN to assert that Locker left $50 million on the table. As NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock pointed out in discussing Locker this week, teams don't start doing full work-ups on juniors unless those players have declared for the draft, so it's wrong to suggest that any team had put Locker at the top of its draft board — or put him on its draft board at all.
But to the extent that we can determine where Locker would have gone in the 2010 NFL draft, it's extremely unlikely that any NFL team would have graded Locker higher than Bradford. As I wrote late in 2009, when Locker announced he would return to Washington in 2010, Locker was nowhere near as good a college quarterback as Bradford. To say that Bradford benefited from Locker's decision is unfair to Bradford, who was drafted first overall because the Rams rightly saw him as a future star, not because he was the Rams' second choice behind Locker.
In fact, not only would Locker not have been a likely No. 1 overall pick in 2010, he might not have even been a first-round pick. As we reported at the end of the 2009 season, the NFL's draft advisory board didn't even give Locker a first-round grade when he inquired about where he might have gone in the 2010 draft.
ESPN apparently thought it was making its E:60 profile more dramatic by portraying Locker as a man who gave up a surefire $50 million, but the reality is just the opposite: ESPN weakened its own story by portraying Locker as something he's not.

Media people over-blowing a report? Not like it's never been done before.
snowpea84 says:
Jake Locker is going to be a very good NFL Qb. You should probably jump on the bandwagon now. You'll look more credible than if…than when you do it later.
butch815 says:
I don't think there has been a QB to go #1 overall completing less than 55% of his passes. That would be a bigger reach than the E:60 story.
Matt Lechner says:
I agree, bad wording on ESPN's part. But I disagree that Locker wouldn't have been a high draft pick (he will this year — http://bit.ly/NFLMockDraft8 ) — The more NFL teams get to know him and breakdown his game, they've recognized that he's a coachable kid with great talent.
Mark Olwick says:
"As NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock pointed out in discussing Locker this week, teams don't start doing full work-ups on juniors unless those players have declared for the draft"
You apparently didn't watch Bill Parcells last night. He said that teams are already scouting and reporting on players for the 2012 draft, so I doubt Mayock's statement is entirely accurate.
chapnastier says:
ESPN is a joke MDS. Thanks for proving it more though!
betterandbetterthan says:
Somebody call the waaahmbulence. This is hardly something that is ESPN specific as PFT is guilty of this regularly, but more importantly, the error isn't in claiming he was the top pick – many had him graded as such at the time – but in making it seem as if it were a sure thing.
bfridley says:
ESPN is the biggest perpetrator of building story lines and narratives just for the sake of supplying something to report… and what kills me about it is that they will openly discuss a topic as a plot line to follow like it's a movie
Outside of ESPN, the single most ridiculous individual when it comes to this is Al Michaels, who will skim over "plot lines" and "story lines" like he's reading out the chapters of a book
The least they could do is be creative about it and just discuss it like it's a conversation (and one about sports), and not just spout it out and showcase it as a narrative
nothimagain says:
Ahh, another polarizing media piece about a guy who is already the most polarizing player in the draft.
This is just what was needed. Thanks.
giantsfan82 says:
Maybe the guy wanted to finish his education and the "guaranteed money" really wasn't in the equation for him. Maybe he actually enjoys playing football and it's not ALL about the money and more about getting his degree. He's still going to make enough to feed his family for a lifetime even if he falls to round 3 and beyond.
vcstriker16 says:
Hold on…Sam Bradford was coming off a 2009 season in which he played in only TWO games and was recovering from major shoulder injuries.
Jake Locker had a very good season playing in a pro-style offense. I'm not saying he's better than Bradford, but I don't think it's stretch to suggest Locker would have gone number one overall. And I don't think ESPN is only one who threw that out there.
footballfansteve says:
Yeah no one projects where QBs would have landed if they were Juniors and didn't declare for the NFL Draft… Just like no one thinks Andrew Luck would have been the #1 overall pick this year… Wait…
commoncents says:
"…a false storyline to boost the narrative it wanted to push."
Isn't this what PFT does with almost every article??
hobartbaker says:
Cue hills of West Virginia functionall defective banjo player, Andrew Luck. ESPN can start writing the same story for next year.
seeschool says:
Actually Mayock's statement is entirely accurate. Scouting a player is one thing, NFL teams would be scouting sophmores. But doing a full workup on a player is something entirely different. They won't do all their due diligence until the player has declared, and why would they? Anything else could be a waste of time and money.
berniemadoffsides says:
@ butch815:
I couldn't agree more. I've said this for years – Locker absolutely will NOT be a success in the NFL. 60% should be the rock bottom completion % for any NFL QB prospect, and he's at 53.1% (+/- .1%, I believe). That is terrible. Sure, the kid's athletic and can run – but compare his % to two other young, mobile QB's: Tim Tebow or especially Cam Newton. He's not even a 2nd round pick, although he will likely be gone by #50.
Not to mention the littany of injuries he's sustained in college. No one has "BUST" written on him more than Locker. Cam Newton has the potential to be something special, Gabbert/Mallett could do well in the right system. I think Ponder/Dalton are 2nd round picks, as well, but I'd grade them higher than Locker.
thereisalwaysnextyear says:
At least it's original comment and not, you know, just commenting on what other people come up with. That seems to be mostly what PFT does now. Very little original content/thought and a whole lot of criticizing what others generate.
Sorry, make that original content, not comment.
ramsfanjoe says:
There is no way Locker would have been picked over Sam Bradford. Billy Devaney already had the Ryan Leaf experience when he was in San Diego. He knew better then to blow this pick.
galvestontexans says:
Maybe Sam should send Jake a thank you card lol.
I bet Sam has a better career that Locker does. I also dont think there is a QB in this years draft that is as good a Bradford.
moneymike23 says:
clintonportisheadd says:
ESPN is a joke.
They are STILL reporting the Lakers are trading Bynum for Carmello Anthony….
What is really funny is when they have 2 reporters reporting on the same story but have 180 degree different takes.
For example Mort will report that the league is suspending player X for 4 games while Shefter is reporting player X will get no suspension. That way ESPN can always say "Hey–we had it right!"
sterilizecromartie says:
You are wrong MDS. Locker did have a chance to be #1 given Bradfords injury concerns. He had an awesome year in 2009 at Washington in a pro-style offense. Nearly every early mock I saw that year had Locker going #1, before he said he was going back to college.
And to say that he may not have even gone in the first round really destroys your credibility. Seattle had two early first round picks last year. There is no way they would have passed on a hometown favorite like Locker twice.
And what the heck is this….
"As NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock pointed out in discussing Locker this week, teams don't start doing full work-ups on juniors unless those players have declared for the draft, so it's wrong to suggest that any team had put Locker at the top of its draft board — or put him on its draft board at all."
Wrong again. Look at Andrew Luck. Carolina put him at the top of their draft board right after the bowl game. It wasn't until he said he was going back to school when they removed him. They didn't need to work him out to know how they felt about him. The same can be said about Locker following 2009.
thefiesty1 says:
If anyone takes Locker in the first round-it's a BIG reach. Some of these teams, however, don't want to win, now or in the future and one of them probably will take him. Nobody in their right mind would pick him #1.
dspyank2k11 says:
Well if we would stop watching ESPN it would just go away.
Instead, it has turned into the MTV of sports.
gregjennings85 says:
Locker is an enigma.
Despite his lack of accuracy and eye-popping numbers, he played on a weak Washington team, and rarely had much time.
I wouldn't want to mortage my billion dollar team's future on any of these 1st round QBs.
I will say this, Ryan Mallet, years from now, will be the clear top QB in this draft.
jimr10 says:
I was actually wondering if anyone still watches ANYTHING on ESPN.
granadafan says:
What? This was not a story about Cam Newton!
whatswiththehate says:
I guess freedom of opinions aren't welcome on this site…My post was deleted.
Anywayy, PFT and ESPN are one and the same. I treat this site like a tabloid site for athletes. I take everything they say with a grain of salt.
And as for ESPN…the fact that anyone takes the network or their afiliated networks seriously is sad.. If anyone remembers the beginning days of ESPN, they were TMZ with suits and that was before TMZ came into existance. You can't venture too far from who you are originally no matter how serious you pretend to be. ESPN is TMZ for athletes.
jebdamone says:
jake locker is not a #1 overall pick in any draft because he is just not that big of a talent. no way the rams would have done there due diligence and selected locker over bradford. sammie is a future pro bowler, no doubt if you have seen him play at all. locker has many question marks and i really wonder if he will ever be starting material. he was top of the draft board, just like nick fairly was top of a lot of people in the weeks after the BCS championship game…where is he slotted to be taken in most drafts at this point? out of the top ten.
rajbais says:
Wow! For the first time, I'm starting to agree with MDS!!!
This stupid network reported that Reggie Bush was going to be #1 overall during the 2006 NFL Draft.
It also kept harping on the notion that Matt Leinart could have been the #1 overall pick in 2005 when Pat Kirwan of NFL.com and Adam Schefter (while working for NFL Network) reported that Leinart's parents called teams in 2005 and they said he wasn't #1 on their boards.
Louisville Senior QB Brian Brohm could've been a top 10 pick as a junior, Tim Tebow in 2009 could've been #1, Jermaine Gresham could've been picked earlier as a junior … SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
These players make their decisions in January and to say that what you hear or feel in January will happen in late April doesn't makes you psychic; it makes you a psycho … and a liar!!!
swpstks says:
Locker reminds me alot of Brian Brohm coming out of Louisville, Brohm decided to go back to school for his season didn't put up great stats and fell to the 2nd round to the Packers got beat out by a 7th round pick in Matt Flynn bumped down to the practice squad and now rides the pine in Buffalo. Same path lies ahead for Mr. Locker
baldeagle6 says:
There is a often a big difference between what one person claims something is worth, and what a qualified buyer will actually pay for it.
Kiper and McShay made a ridiculous claim after Locker and UW upset USC in Seattle in Sept 2009.
The point is that none of the potential NFL buyers ever said they would pay the price of the #1 overall pick for Jake Locker. The NFL Collegiate Advisory Committee told Locker he was not a likely pick anywhere in the 1st round, and at least one former and well-connected GM has emphatically said that the claim Locker would be the overall #1 was nowhere near the truth.
This is a criticism of guys like Kiper and McShay, not a criticism of Jake Locker.
When recently asked if Kiper's ratings are part of the process in NFL draft rooms, Bill Parcells simply and diplomatically said, "Could be in some." Off-camera, John Buccigross was heard to say, "I'll take that as a 'no.'"
layden18 says:
The kid had is good he had no o-line at all at UW. And given the chance to to learn he will hes a great passer on the run and if he is drafted as high as they say he will b he will b doing a lot of that and als handing the ball of to chris johnson or adrian peterson. It might take a few years but he will turn into a good qb.

The Best K-pop Albums of 2017
Your votes, our thoughts and what was listened to this year
We took to social media to see what you all thought earned the title of 'Best Album of 2017,' and boy… that was an experience. Imagine your own humble Twitter being set upon by thousands, and I do mean thousands, of ARMYs. Well, that's what happened to me. But, beyond my mentions breaking and phone dying from overexhaustion due to the sudden influx of notifications, we did get a great poll, out of it.
And then something rather extraordinary happened. In our Facebook poll it wasn't BTS that was running away with the lead. It was a dark horse, and one that, frankly, delighted me. So here they are, tied, your picks for best male K-pop album of 2017.
Your Choice: BTS – "Love Yourself: Her" / GOT7 – "Flight Log: Arrival"
I don't think anyone could deny that this was BTS' year. Make them 1,376,915 domestic sales for "Love Yourself: Her" is nothing to balk at, never mind their success abroad. It's clear that the group isn't going anywhere other than up and will amass even more fans as they do so, and rightfully so. BTS has done what few other K-pop groups have been able to do; they've reached beyond Asia and garnered interest in the genre, and they've done that successfully because of their art and performance.
GOT7's "Flight Log: Arrival" is the third and last entry into the group's Flight Log series and saw its fair share of success. "Never Ever" is a catchy track, and the entire album is a fun and intriguing blend of synth, house, R&B, and trap. I always felt Korea slept a bit on GOT7, so it's nice to see their fanbase rallied to get them a bit more recognition.
Our Choice: "G-Dragon – Kwon Ji Yong"
This was a difficult one, and I almost chose Epik High's nearly flawless album. But the reason G-Dragon has claimed my top spot is for a very unusual, but important reason: I'm not a BigBang fan. I fully appreciate and recognize what they've done for K-pop globally, but they were just never my thing. On a whim, I decided to give Kwon Ji Yong a shot. And well··· damn. Honestly, if G-Dragon had been singing like this all these years, he would have made a VIP out of me. I honestly hope he continues to explore his musicality in the future.
The battle for the polls wasn't quite as intense for the ladies. However, they seriously rocked the charts as well. You voted, and while it was almost Red Velvet's "Rookie," they were just nudged out.
Your Choice: GFriend – "The Awakening"
GFriend is still at the top of their game, producing feel good lush music that you can't help but smile at. "The Awakening" was a great EP that had re-listenability and showcased how their vocals have matured. At the heart of "The Awakening" and GFriend really is just an inherent sweetness; they make you smile, which is a lovely thing.
Our Choice: IU – "Palette"
This was a no-brainer. IU once again proved she is the queen of K-pop, and an insanely talented queen at that. Palette is gorgeous, telling and wonderfully produced. It highlights IU as an artist and really allows her wonderful vocals to shine. If you want to introduce someone to K-pop, but not overwhelm them with choreo, treat them to "Palette." You won't fail.
If there's anything 2017 has taught us, it's that while trending acts put out some great tunes that are instant hits and yes, can be looped ad nauseum to reach whatever YouTube milestone is next to be broken, the veterans of this industry aren't done with us yet. Nor would we ever want them to be.

Not So Foreign Anymore Unescapable Roots


Wow, that really surprised me. But after seeing this data, I began asking myself, what is driving people to look elsewhere and leave their church? Why are people so dissatisfied with their church?
Could it be because of serious issues of spiritual abuse? Or theological compromise? Or are people leaving their church based on more trivial matters of worship taste or program selection?
I have recently been told by a leader of my church that it is in fact in the bible that we should not communicate any more with people who decide to leave the church. I don't think that sometimes its that clear, as if you are great friends with the person who leaves, and have been for many years, you are still going to want to be friends with them.


A page on TigerLocal will showcase your business to hundreds of local people looking for a business in Chesterfield. So you'll get serious enquiries from new customers.
The market town of Chesterfield is the largest town in Derbyshire and is located between Derby and Sheffield. The borough is home to around 100,000 people.
Chesterfield grew up around a Roman fort in the first century AD, and became a market town in 1204. Today, the town still holds a market three days a week.
Until the 1980s, the main industry in the area was coal mining. Today, you can follow the "Five Pits Trail" between the sites of former collieries, though there's very little evidence of the industry now visible.
Manufacturing in the area has declined significantly, though employment in the sector remains above the national average thanks to many small manufacturing and engineering firms located on various industrial estates. The largest single employer in the town is now the Royal Mail.
Chesterfield has one of the largest open air markets in Britain. Visitors should also explore "The Shambles" and make sure to find the Royal Oak pub which is one of the oldest in Britain.
The Pavements shopping centre, and the pedestrianised Vicar Lane are the main shopping areas in the town.
For an unforgettable view of the town, you can climb the spire of St Mary's Church.


The Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital celebrated its twenty-first anniversary today. An anniversary church service under the theme, "We Care For You," saw board members and staff as well as members of the public gathered inside the lobby of the national referral hospital for the celebration. News Five's Duane Moody was there and files this report.
Twenty-one years ago today, on September fifteenth, 1995, theKarlHeusnerMemorialHospitalofficially opened its doors to the public as the national referral hospital for the country. Since its establishment, K.H.M.H. has been mired in controversy and stigma, following the deaths of thirteen babies from bacteria and the questionable deaths of other patients at the hospital. But the positive results of medical attention at KHMH far outweigh the negative aspects of the health facility.
Dr. Adrian Coye, C.E.O., K.H.M.H.
For Former Minister of Works Melvin Hulse, who currently sits as a member of the Board of Governors of the K.H.M.H., the celebration held today is heartwarming because he was in government at the time and played a critical role in the development of the hospital. Hulse says that the K.H.M.H. is a success story.
Melvin Hulse, Member, Board of Governors, K.H.M.H.
Today, on its twenty-first anniversary, C.E.O. of the health institution, Doctor Adrian Coye, says that the K.H.M.H. has grown tremendously—now providing services that were once offered only outside ofBelize. But Doctor Coye says that there is need for infrastructural renovations.

Sorry for the lack of post recently.
I am working on some blog maintenance and will have new content soon, including all the gory details from the Robin Williams shoot. The best time I've had at the worst shoot I've had.


We're en route to Europe later this week to kick off another leg of our summer tour! The first show is this Friday at Roskilde Festival in Denmark followed by a trio of headline shows at KNUST in Hamburg, La Flèche d'Or in Paris, and Whelan's in Dublin and a series of festival appearances (including Hard Rock Calling in London on July 15th). Check out the full list of dates on the tour page.
A bit of news here on the home-front: tickets for the first leg of our fall tour are on sale now! These new shows start with two Canadian dates (Montreal on September 27th and Toronto on September 28th), and continue on with shows in New York, North Carolina, New Orleans, Georgia, and more!
The Noam & Friends tour (featuring Chris Eldridge and Aoife O'Donovan) hits the tri-state area starting TONIGHT at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ, followed by StageOne in Fairfield, CT on Tuesday night, and Madison Square Park in NYC on the 4th. You can watch a few videos from his previous tour on Noam's YouTube channel. Visit noampikelny.com for details on the upcoming dates.

See Nikki Reed's Engagement Ring!
We can add this celebrity engagement ring to the books for being extra unique! It turns out Nikki Reed, who recently said "yes" to a proposal from boyfriend and longtime friend Ian Somerhalder, has been rocking her, well, rock, for much longer than we thought — tricking us and simultaneously hiding her engagement ring all at the same time.
Wearing a diamond band to the Golden Globes, Nikki Reed sparked Hollywood Life's suspicion that the right-hand ring really symbolized her pending nuptials to the hunky Vampire Diaries star in disguise. Turns out, Glamour reports, that this morning, while on a jog in Athens, Greece, Reed switched the diamond band to her left finger, which, in our world, means all systems are a go and that this ring is, indeed, a super-unique engagement ring.
From the looks of the band that she wore to the Golden Globes, Reed's bling is a series of amorphous, round diamonds set all the way around in white gold. The one diamond in the center is the biggest, but not by a large measure. It's reminiscent of many popular indie ring designers like Polly Wales and Mociun.
Earlier this month sources told Hollywood Life that they spotted the couple cozying up at New Stone Age in Los Angeles while looking at similarly non-tradition engagement rings such as spliced, colored, and rough diamond styles.
We must admit: This is one engagement ring we can get behind. We love the idea of a band for an engagement ring if you're not the classic bride. If her ring is any indication Reed and Somerhalder's wedding will be full of cool, bohemian details.

Fighting UFC's Conor McGregor: 'I'm a Nightmare for Conor'
Heavy on UFC
By Stephen McCaugherty
Updated Jan 4, 2021 at 6:15pm
The anticipated UFC debut of multiple-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler is set for January 23 during UFC 257. The event will host two massive fights in the lightweight division, with Chandler taking on No. 6 ranked Dan Hooker and No. 2 ranked Dustin Poirier fighting No. 4 ranked Conor McGregor.
The state of the division is unclear as champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who announced his retirement in October, has not been stripped nor has he vacated the title. UFC president Dana White is set to meet with "The Eagle" later this month to speak about his fighting future.
A win is crucial for the lightweights competing at UFC 257 as they could line themselves up for a shot at the lightweight strap, especially if Nurmagomedov vacates the belt. With a victory over Hooker, Chandler, who signed with the promotion last year and has yet to compete, will instate his name in the top of the lightweight rankings. Should McGregor defeat Poirier, Chandler could find himself fighting the Irishman next, possibly for the UFC lightweight title.
A post shared by Michael Chandler (@mikechandlermma)
With a win, the UFC will likely offer McGregor (22-4) a shot at the belt due to his stardom. Although there are other names at the top of the division who could be slotted in against "Notorious," specifically No.1 ranked Justin Gaethje or No. 3 ranked Charles Oliveira, Chandler (21-5) could create a compelling case for himself with a dominant victory over Hooker.
And while speaking with ESPN's Brett Okamoto recently, Chandler said that if the fight with McGregor does come to fruition, he will be a "nightmare" for the Irishman. He said that if he earns an impressive victory on January 23, and McGregor gets past Poirier on the same night, their names may be sewn together.
Chandler said, "You have to be real with the stakes at hand when you talk about being in the same weight class and the same organization, fighting on the same night as Conor McGregor. Your name being right next to his on the bill."
"Of course, I want my name in that storyline," Chandler said. "Of course, I want my name attached to his. Of course, I want that possible fight. Do I think I match up extremely well against Conor? Absolutely. With my wrestling background plus the power in my hands, plus my ability to mix up the striking with the takedowns, plus my ability to push the pace, I think I'm a nightmare for Conor."

Chandler Believes the 'Best Version' of McGregor Will Show Up at UFC 257
VideoVideo related to fighting ufc's conor mcgregor: 'i'm a nightmare for conor'2021-01-04T17:55:06-05:00
While speaking with ESPN, Chandler said that he doesn't believe Notorious receives as much credit as he should and that the Irishman will be the "best version" of himself walking into the Octagon on January 23.
I will say, my view of Conor McGregor has changed over the years. I always said he's better than what we thought he was, but he's not as good as he thinks that he is. I think that's still the case but that's only because he thinks… he's one of the most mentally strong, most devastatingly confident men in the entire world, definitely across this sport. And we as fans, or we as his fellow competitors, we don't give him as much credit as is due. I think he's motivated, he's going to go out there and we're going to see the best version of Conor McGregor.

Chandler Predicts That McGregor Will Defeat Poirier
A post shared by ufc (@ufc)
Chandler respects the abilities of both Poirier and McGregor, however he told ESPN that if he has to make a prediction, he's picking McGregor to come out on top.
Chandler believes that Poirier will have the advantage in the later rounds with his experience and volume striking.
"I think you've got to give the deeper waters, the later rounds and the close volume punching exchanges to Dustin Poirier," Chandler said. "We've seen Conor go five rounds once, maybe twice… [once] against Diaz. But we've seen Poirier do it numerous times or at least keep a very high pace, tons of volume punching."
He said that Poirier will have to be on his game during the first few rounds to avoid McGregor's powerful and precise striking. He said that Poirier needs to establish to McGregor right away that he is a different fighter than when they fought in 2014. McGregor and Poirier fought in the featherweight division at UFC 178 and Notorious won via first-round TKO.
"If I had to be a betting man, my money would still lean towards Conor McGregor," Chandler said.
Regardless, Chandler is excited to watch the fight as a fan of the sport. "I think it's going to be a 95% on the feet battle, which is going to be fun for all of us to watch," he said. "I'm going to collect my paycheck and then run back to the stands and hopefully go catch that fight."

Rising (El Inicio Partes 1 y 2, en Latinoamérica, Emergiendo Partes 1 y 2, en España) corresponde al episodio piloto de la serie de televisión de ciencia ficción Stargate Atlantis.

Trama

Parte 1

Hace millones de años, los Antiguos están por dejar la Tierra a bordo de su gran nave-ciudad de Atlantis. Ayiana debe ser dejada atrás por razones desconocidas, puede que estuviese contagiada del virus del que los antiguos huyesen y ve a la gran ciudad elevarse despacio y desaparecer en el cielo. En la Antártica, en la actualidad, un grupo de investigadores y científicos están trabajando en un laboratorio subterráneo. Ellos examinan la tecnología Antigua, la cual incluye un dron antiguo y una silla de control. El Dr. Carson Beckett intenta activar la silla, puesto que él posee el llamado gen ATA, una especial secuencia de genes que permite interactuar con la tecnología Antigua. Sin embargo, Beckett se niega a sentarse en la silla, aun cuando fue él quien descubrió el mismo gen A.T.A.. La Dra. Elizabeth Weir, líder del proyecto, le dice al Dr. Rodney McKay que necesitan que todos aquellos con el gen pasen por la silla, para así aprender más sobre ella, si bien la mayoría le tiene miedo debido a que controla poderosas armas. En ese momento, el Dr. Daniel Jackson aparece y les dice que lo sigan.
Él tiene nuevas noticias sobre la dirección del lugar adonde los Antiguos fueron tras dejar la Tierra. Recientemente descubrieron un séptimo símbolo, pero que no es el punto de origen Tierra. Se trata pues de una dirección de 8 símbolos. Atlantis se encuentra lejos, pero no es inalcanzable.

Mientras tanto, el General Jack O'Neill y el Mayor John Sheppard están volando rumbo a la base. Por su parte, el Dr. McKay logra que el Dr. Beckett se siente en la silla. Le pide que piense en su ubicación en el sistema solar, y la silla se enciende, pero accidentalmente también activa uno de los drones que están estudiando. El dron abandona a gran velocidad el complejo y fija como objetivo el helicóptero de O'Neill. El Mayor Sheppard divisa el arma y comienza esquivarla, mientras Weir dice a Beckett que se concentre en desactivar el dron. Él logra hacerlo momentos antes de que el dron impacte la aeronave.
El helicóptero finalmente llega a la base, donde O'Neill deja a Sheppard con órdenes de tocar nada, mientras él va hablar con Daniel, Weir y McKay. Tras hablar sobre como los Antiguos se fueron en su "ciudad voladora" hace millones de años, asentándose en la Galaxia Pegaso, y de la posibilidad de que aun sigan allí, O'Neill da su visto bueno para ir, pero Jackson indica que hay un problema. Ellos necesitan del casi agotado "Modulo de Punto Cero" para potenciar en Portal, a lo cual O'Neill no accede. Aun así, ellos insisten en que les permita utilizarlo y afirman estar conscientes de que la misión es solo de "ida". En tanto, Sheppard se encuentra con el Dr. Beckett, quien tras disculparse por el previo incidente, empieza a explicarle sobre el Stargate y el gen ATA. Seguro de que no tiene el gen, el Mayor se sienta en la silla, pero de inmediato esta activa y Beckett llama entonces a Weir y los demás. McKay pide a Sheppard que piense en su ubicación en el sistema solar, e inmediatamente un mapa aparece sobre la silla. Debido a su habilidad para usar tecnología Antigua con facilidad, Weir pide a Sheppard unirse al equipo, y después de una discusión con O'Neill, él acepta.

Luego de un tiempo, diferentes miembros del equipo se despiden de sus seres queridos; algunos como a Weir se le permite revelar detalles de su viaje, pero a otros no.
En el Comando Stargate, los miembros de la Expedición Atlantis preparan su equipamiento para partir, mientras el Dr. McKay conecta el MPZ al sistema de poder de la Puerta. Antes de marcar, la Dra. Weir da un discurso, señalando que si logran establecer conexión partirán enseguida, por lo que ofrece una última oportunidad de dar pie atrás, pero nadie retrocede. Se marca entonces el Portal. Los ocho chevrones se fijan, y un agujero de gusano estable se forma. Un MALP es enviado, y confirma que la atmósfera es segura. Weir, junto al equipo militar de seguridad liderado por el Coronel Summer, cruzan primero el portal, siendo seguidos pronto por el resto de la Expedición.
Daniel desea ir también, pero Jack, una vez más, le dice que no. Tan pronto todos pasan, Weir manda saludos desde la "base Atlántida"; una botella de champagne llega entonces rodando por el Portal, y este se cierra.
A medida que exploran el lugar, luces y sistemas se encienden. En tanto, no se detecta señal alguna de alienígenas de cualquier tipo, pero si se descubre una sala de conferencias y un hangar de naves espaciales. McKay encuentra la sala de control y el DHD. El Coronel Summer llama a Weir tres niveles abajo, donde ellos ven a través de un vidrio, que se hallan dentro de una gigantesca ciudad sumergida; Atlantis.
Al parecer, un escudo de fuerza mantiene fuera el agua, previniendo el colapso de la ciudad. El Dr. Beckett también encuentra un holograma grabado por una Antigua que cuenta la historia de Atlantis. Hace 10000 años, un poderoso enemigo sitio la ciudad, la cual fue finalmente sumergida, y los últimos Antiguos regresaron a la Tierra por el Portal. En ese momento, McKay se informa de un problema.
El nivel de energía en la ciudad está cayendo, y tan pronto como el último de los 3 ZPM que la potencian se agote, todo se inundara. Los equipos son aglutinados en pequeños sectores para ahorrar energía, pero ni esto ni los generadores de Naquadah traídos evitaran por mucho tiempo el colapso del escudo. Se necesita de más MPC, por lo que el Coronel Summer, Sheppard y otros soldados son enviados por el Portal a uno de los mundos de la base de datos; Athos. Allí, tras toparse con un niño llamado Jinto y su padre, Halling, ellos se presentan con Teyla Emmagan, la líder de la tribu, quien los invita a pasar la noche en la aldea, mientras Sheppard conversa con ella para demostrarle que puede confiar en ellos.
Al día siguiente, tras divisar una ciudad en ruinas cerca, el Coronel Summer sugiere revisarla, pero los Athoscianos temen que si lo hacen provoquen a los "Wraith" ("Espectros"). Cuando Summer pregunta quienes son ellos, Teyla dice que nunca supo de nadie que no los conociera, y les sugiere que mejor vuelvan a su mundo, mientras éste sea desconocido para los "Espectro. A pesar de la advertencia Summer desea explorar la ciudad, ya que existe la posibilidad de que haya un ZPM. Sin embargo, Sheppard teme que esos Wraith sean quizás el enemigo del que hablo el holograma.

Teyla dice a Sheppard que si es que ellos no pueden volver a su mundo, entonces es importante que vea algo, en tanto en Atlantis, el decaimiento del escudo continúa provoca que otra sección de la ciudad se inunde.
En Athos, Teyla lleva a Sheppard a unas antiguas ruinas, en donde el Mayor encuentra un collar, que Teyla señala haber perdido hace años. Tras colocarse el collar, ella le explica la historia de los Wraith. Ellos aparentemente duermen por periodos se cientos de años, permitiendo el incremento en el número de humanos. Una vez alcanza cierto punto, ellos regresan para "cosecharlos". Ningún mundo conocido se salva de ese destino. Teyla también menciona que algunos athoscianos como ella, pueden presentir la llegada de los Wraith, lo que permite advertir a la gente.
En ese momento, el Portal del planeta se activa, y 3 naves desconocidas llegan dirigiéndose directamente rumbo a la aldea. Sheppard escucha los ruidos que emiten esas naves, y al preguntarle a Teyla que es, ella responde que son los Wraith.

Parte 2

Las naves Wraith llegan a la aldea, y mientras la recorren, usan una clase de rayo corto de transporte para llevarse a varias personas.
Summer ordena inmediatamente abrir fuego, pero extraños movimientos que comienzan a ver alrededor los distraen. Teyla informa que son solo meras ilusiones para confundir. El Sargento Bates logra derribar una nave, pero entonces él, el Coronel Summer y Teyla son tomados por las naves restantes, las cuales luego regresan por el Portal. No obstante, el Teniente Ford memoriza los símbolos activados en el DHD.
En Atlantis, otra sección ha colapsado, y McKay reporta que la falla del escudo es inminente, y que deben evacuar ya. Sin embargo, cuando están marcando la Puerta, Sheppard regresa con refugiados Athoscianos. Weir le informa que tienen que abandonar la ciudad, y Sheppard pregunta a Jinto si conoce una dirección adonde ir, pero, en ese momento, la ciudad entera comienza a ascender y alcanza la superficie del océano. McKay informa que el último ZPM se agotó, pero que los generadores de Naquadah podrán energizar los sistemas de la ciudad, a excepción del escudo.
Mientras el resto comienza a determinar la dirección adonde a llevaron los secuestrados, Sheppard habla con Weir para que le permita la misión de rescate, pero ella duda de si tendrán éxito contra los Wraith, el enemigo que venció a los Antiguos.
En tanto, el Coronel Summer, Teyla y los otros despiertan dentro de una celda. Tras unos minutos, un Wraith aparece y Summer intenta hablar con él, pero éste no le hace cas. El Espectro elige un Athosciano y se lo lleva, desechando el ofrecimiento de Teyla y de Summer de llevarlos en su lugar.
De vuelta en Atlantis, logran hallar una posible dirección, pero pronto descubren que el Portal en ese lugar está orbitando un planeta. No obstante, ante tal problema, McKay se le ocurre algo. Él lleva a Sheppard al hangar de naves para ver si es capaz volarlas. En tanto, Beckett averigua, a partir del brazo Espectro que Sheppard recuperó de la nave derribada antes, que estos seres tienen una enorme habilidad para regenerarse, además de ser extremadamente longevos, y probablemente casi imposibles de matar.

Tras aprender Sheppard a volar las naves Antiguas, y descubrir también que poseen escudos de camuflaje, Weir aprueba la misión. El Mayor, junto a Ford y algunos soldados, se preparan para ir en la "Naveportal 1", nombre dado por Ford y McKay. No obstante, Sheppard se lo cambia a Brincacharcos. McKay reclama, pero finalmente acepta el nombre, y ellos marcan el Portal usando el DHD del Saltador.
Al llegar, Sheppard activa la invisibilidad de inmediato, y descubre además que puede controlar la nave con el pensamiento, accediendo incluso a la pantalla de control y a un pequeño dispositivo. Tras aterrizar el Saltador, el resto de los soldados es dejado custodiándola, mientras Sheppard y Ford se adentran en la nave Wraith, colocando C-4 en diferentes sitios.
En tanto, allí el Espectro vuelve a la celda y se lleva al Coronel Summer a un salón donde hay un anciano cadáver sentado en una silla, y el cual resulta ser el athosciano llevado antes. Una Espectro hembra aparece entonces, y tras primero ofrecerla comer, comienza a interrogar a Summer. Este le pregunta por qué los tomaron prisioneros, y ella responde que porque invadieron su "comedero", lo cual deja en shock al Coronel. La Wraith explica que los humanos son su alimento, y empieza preguntar a Summer por su mundo, ejerciendo presión sobre su mente para que le responda. Ella se asombra al saber de la población, puesto dice que no han tenido un terreno de alimentación tan grande en 10000 años.
Entretanto, Sheppard y Ford usan un "detector de signos vitales" para encontrar a Teyla y los demás. Mientras Ford se queda para sacarlos, Sheppard va en busca del Coronel.
En ese momento, la Wraith trata que Summer le diga donde está la "Tierra", pero ante su negativa, decide empezar a alimentarse de él. Al llegar, Sheppard encuentra a un Summer ya extremadamente anciano, con la Wraith alimentándose su vida, por lo que decide dispararle al Coronel para evitarle más sufrimiento. Sin embargo, John es aturdido por otro Espectro, y traído ante la hembra, quien está a punto de alimentarse de él, cuando Ford aparece y abre fuego. Sheppard ordena entonces detonar el C-4, lo cual genera caos por toda la nave. Luego acuchilla a la hembra Espectro, pero ésta, antes de morir, les dice que con su muerte, los otros despertaran. Al revisar su detector de signos vitales, Sheppard y Ford ven como decenas de Wraith comienzan a aparecer por todas partes, tras siglos de hibernación. A toda prisa, ellos escapan, mientras varios "dardos Wraith" son desplegados. El Brincador despega en modo invisible, pero ya en el espacio se encuentran que los dardos han rodeado el Portal. Dado que activar la puerta, provocaría que los dardos les disparen a ciegas, Sheppard decide hacer visible la nave para alejar a los dardos del Stargate. Él consigue usar los drones del Saltador para destruir algunos dardos, y luego activa el Portal. Tras unas maniobras, ellos consiguen atravesar la puerta, seguidos de tres dardos, pero tan pronto el Brincacharcos llega a Atlantis, Weir activa el escudo, el cual destruye las naves perseguidoras.

Esa noche, ya seguros en la ciudad, se realiza una celebración. Allí, Weir aprovecha de abrir la botella de champagne, y Teyla señala que también han hecho un nuevo aliado, y que con la ayuda de los Athoscianos harán muchos más. Weir además solicita a Sheppard que como nuevo oficial de mayor rango, reúna a un equipo, con el cual poder volver a salir a realizar lo que vinieron hacer; explorar una nueva galaxia.

Notas

 El lago en Athos pareceser el mismo del principio del episodio de episodio de la 2ª temporada de Stargate SG-1, "In the Line of Duty".
 Durante la huida solo hizo falta un dron para destruir un dardo pero para destruir los que rondaban la puerta uso tres para cada dardo.

Q: Chrome extension background script console.log() error In my manifest I have this:
"background": {
    "page": "background.html",
    // "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": true
},

Note that the background script is loaded from "background.html" because of some special reason I need to have that html page.  This part of the manifest cannot be changed.
With this setting, the background script is working fine, but when I include a console.log("Succeed.") line, the script loads with an error, as follows:

Mysteriously, the logging actually worked and I could see it in the background.html's console.
But I could not get rid of the error, despite adding:
var console2 = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console;
It's a relatively minor bug, as everything seems to work except there is an error message.


The ambulance visits a patient after a fall and delivers them to hospital where they are admitted. The notification to the GP is just an FYI (for your information), and there is no expectation of action.
The ambulance visits a patient with asthma and nebulizes them. They do not need to go to the hospital, but should be reviewed the following day.
A hospital discharges a patient having started them on warfarin. The GP is requested to repeat an INR in 5 days and adjust the dose if required.
A patient visits a private 'after hours' service with a lacerated hand. The service sutures the wound and asks the GP to review the patient in 5 days to remove the sutures.
A patient is seen by an out-patient clinic and their anti-hypertensive medication adjusted. The GP is requested to monitor the Blood Pressure to endure that they don't become hypotensive.
While in hospital for a routine appendicectomy, an elevated Glucose blood result is noted. The GP is asked to follow up to investigate the possibility of diabetes.
A District Nurse visits a patient to dress a wound, and notes that the Blood Pressure is high.
The GP never received the request at all.
(I appreciate that this overlaps with some other important concepts like 'Transfer of Care', 'Care Plan' or 'Tasks', but for the sake of this discussion I'm going to keep it simple and just focus on the interaction between sender and recipient).
Expected action. This is optional – if not present then the Notification is an FYI. We'll make this a CodeableConcept so we can define common set of actions if we want to, which might be good for reporting, but also supports plain text, which will be the most likely early on. We'll make this multiple to cover the situation where there is more than one thing needed to do by the recipient. If there were multiple actions my different recipients, then we'd use separate Notifications for each recipient.
Date due. This only makes sense when there is an expected action, but gives the recipient some idea of when the requested follow-up should occur.
Recipient Status. This will be used to manage the state of the Notification – I'll talk about this in a moment. It will be a code datatype, with a fixed set of values.
Recipient Status Comment. A General comment field.
That takes care of the properties of the Notification, but we need to figure out how to manage the workflow aspects of the process – as described above, how can the sender be sure that the GP will carry out the requested actions (or not)?
Optionally, once the action has been completed, the RecipientStatus can be updated to completed.
The sender can then monitor the status of the notifications as required.
Of course, if we were being a nice server, we'd bundle both of these into a simple service that would make the calls internally and return a bundle of resources that would contain all the versions of the Notification resource, plus any Provenance resources associated with them.
This pattern might not be suitable for a more fully featured task management solution, but it would seem the be sufficient for the simple use cases that we identified above.
