After we saw the leaked e-mail, Lotus unveiled today the Evora S and Evora IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) option. As expected, the Evora S is more powerful and now the 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 350 PS (standard version delivers 280 PS) and 400 Nm of torque (295 lb ft).
The Evora S can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds (0-100 km/h in just 4.8 sec) and has a top speed of 172 mph (276 km/h).
Apparently, the Evora S is considered the next level of Evora experience, featuring a sport pack as standard. The sport pack offers a 'sport' button which allows the driver to control throttle response and activate the exhaust by-pass valve.
Also, the button raises the rev limit and changes the dynamic stability control settings resulting in a total experience change. Regarding the Evora IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift), this introduces an automatic transmission mated to the 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering 280 PS and 350 Nm of torque (258 lb ft).
The Evora IPS can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds (0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds) and has a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). "We were proud of the Evora but we're even prouder of the Evora S, I feel like it does the true Lotus experience justice.
The really great thing is that as we move forward the standard Evora should also benefit from some of these developments." said Dany Bahar Lotus' Chief Executive Officer.
Lotus has revamped the Evora with a 350 PS 3.5-liter V6 engine to come up with an all-new and more powerful Evora S. Lotus CEO Dany Bahar took pride, saying that drivers will never realize what they are missing until they get to drive the Evora S.
Bahar said that aside from the core, the Evora S is far better than the Evora because it brings one's driving experience to a whole new level of fun. It has a better communication system and a fine-tuned suspension to enhance power and control.
He summarized, "It's an instinctual car." Bahar believes that the Evora S gives justice to what Lotus is really committed to. He claimed, "We were proud of the Evora but we're even prouder of the Evora S." The Evora S is equipped with a standard sports pack that features a "sport" button, allowing drivers to control throttle response and activate the exhaust bypass valve.
Moreover, it increases the instantaneous rev limit and even the dynamic stability control has been modified. For better cooling, the Evora S has cross-drilled brakes. A little heads up for those who buy the belief that "you can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys."
The external emotion of the Evora S had totally been enhanced with a new active exhaust, allowing the vehicle to sound as dramatic as it feels at the push of a button. Lotus Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Andreas Prillmann expressed that aside from being a "natural progression", the Evora S also signifies what people must expect from Lotus in the coming years. It is a clear expression of how Lotus values performance, style, and comfort without compromising one for the other.

Last Friday's announcement by President Obama that all US troops will leave Iraq by the end of the year marks an important closure. As NSN Senior Adviser and former Commanding General of the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team (CMATT) in Iraq Major General Paul Eaton, US Army (Ret) said in response: "His decision honors the commitments of the United States: to a sovereign Iraqi nation, to the brave American troops and diplomats who have served for almost a decade and to the American people... Hundreds of thousands of dedicated Americans have served our country in Iraq, and nearly four thousand five hundred people have given their lives to support Iraq's transition to a sovereign democratic nation. Today we thank and honor these men and women and mark a promise kept to Iraqis, to Americans and to the values they serve."
The decision came after months of inconclusive negotiations, mixed signals from the Iraqi government, and ultimately Iraq's refusal to grant U.S. troops the standard immunities in place wherever U.S., forces are stationed around the globe. The decision is broadly supported by the American people, and the attacks on it are thus surprising - and based, as was the case with the decision to go to war in the first place, on myths rather than facts.
Myth: President Obama's decision is based on political calculations. The Hill Reports that, "Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that key foreign policy decisions by the Obama administration are being made for political reasons. 'I would argue Iraq and Afghanistan is being run out of Chicago, not Washington, in terms of decisions,' Graham said on Fox News Sunday. Graham criticized President Obama for planning to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of this year."[Lindsey Graham via the Hill, 10/23/11]
Reality: This was an agreement negotiated under the George W. Bush administration. Secretary Clinton explained over the weekend, "[L]et's put this into some context here. President Obama has said from the beginning that combat troops would leave by the end of this year. That should not surprise anyone. But it's equally important to remember that this deadline was set by the Bush administration. So it's been a bipartisan commitment, but it was on President Obama's watch to show the leadership to be able to fulfill the commitment. So we are now going to have a security relationship with Iraq for training and support of their military, similar to what we have around the world from Jordan to Colombia. We will have military trainers and support personnel on the ground at Embassy Baghdad. We will be training Iraqis on using the military equipment that they are buying from the United States, and we think that this is the kind of mature relationship that is very common. So I believe that we are looking to fulfill what it is that the Iraqis requested and that we're prepared to provide." [Hillary Clinton via NBC, 10/23/11]
Myth: The U.S. drawdown is creating a vacuum for Iran. Neoconservative commentator Frederick Kagan asserted that, "This retreat will have great costs for the United States... How can we claim to be taking a firm line against Iran while giving Tehran the single most important demand it has pursued for years -- the complete withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq?" [Frederick Kagan via USA Today, 10/23/11]
Reality: The U.S. will maintain a strong presence in the region. The Washington Post's Walter Pincus writes, "By Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's count, that's 23,000 American troops in Kuwait, 7,500 in Qatar, 5,000 in Bahrain and nearly 3,000 in the United Arab Emirates. 'We have about 40,000 troops in that region ... along with a large number of troops in other countries as well, along with the fact that we have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan," Panetta said Sunday during a trip to Bali. 'We will always have a force that will be present and that will deal with any threats from Iran.' Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, asked on CNN's State of the Union about her fears that Iran might try to increase its presence in Iraq, said 'we have bases in neighboring countries, we have our NATO ally in Turkey, we have a lot of presence in that region.' 'So no one, most particularly Iran, should miscalculate about our continuing commitment to and with the Iraqis going forward,' she said." [Leon Panetta and Hillary Clinton via Washington Post, 10/24/11]
Myth: The Obama administration was out-negotiated. On ABC's "This Week" Senator John McCain said, "Well, I think it's a serious mistake. And there was never really serious negotiations between the administration and the Iraqis. They could have clearly made an arrangement for U.S. troops." [John McCain via ABC, 10/23/11]
Reality: U.S. stood by its bottom lines: that Iraqis lead on their own security, and U.S. troops will not be there without standard immunity protections. As Major General Paul Eaton said: "The United States has provided opportunities for Iraqis to ask for an American troop presence beyond the date agreed to by President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki in 2008. They have not asked for that. It would be inappropriate to keep troops without Iraqi legal immunity for our servicemembers." [Paul Eaton, 10/22/11]
Myth: There was a failure to provide an orderly transition. In response to President Obama's announcement, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said, "President Obama's astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women." [Mitt Romney, 10/24/11]
Reality: Uniformed military has supported timeline and prepared accordingly for years. Former commanding general in Iraq and current Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno said in 2009 that the military was prepared for the end of operations in 2011. CNN reports: "Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, said Sunday he believes U.S. troops will be out of the country by the end of 2011. On CNN's 'State of the Union,' chief national correspondent John King asked Odierno to rate his confidence, on a scale of 1 to 10, that U.S. troops would be out by the end of the timeline agreed by the U.S. and Iraqi governments. 'As you ask me today, I believe it's a 10 -- that we will be gone by 2011,' Odierno responded." [General Ray Odierno via CNN, 4/12/09]

A JEHOVAH'S Witness elder accused of a string of historic sexual offences raped a fellow church goer, a court heard today.
At Merthyr Crown Court via a taped police interview the woman described the attack by Mark Sewell, a man she had become friends with after joining the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Sewell, 53, of Porthkerry Road, Barry denies the charge of rape and other charges of sexual assault against children aged under 14 and 16.
Explaining how she and her husband had become friends with Sewell and his family, the woman described how his behaviour changed after an admission to hospital to have his wisdom teeth removed after which he was said to be suffering from depression.
She told the court that although he was still charming and caring in outward appearance, he also began to exhibit darker tendencies, and made advances on the woman, now in her 50s. He would use suggestive language to her, try to kiss her and in one incident ripped a bikini top off her during a trip.
She explained that she became more involved with Sewell's home life in the early 90s when he began drinking and behaving aggressively towards his children and wife Mary.
During one visit to talk to Sewell about the problems his marriage was having the woman was pushed to the ground and raped, she said.
Arriving at Sewell's home, the woman's husband consoled Sewell's upset wife while the woman went into a back room to find Sewell lying red-eyed on a sofa
Pulling her down to him he attacked her.
"Very, very quickly I was pushed onto my back," she said.
"My underwear was ripped from me in one massive yank and I was saying to him 'What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Following the attack, which was over in seconds, the woman said she was in shock and unable to believe what had happened. Sewell rolled over and went to sleep.
The next day Sewell asked the woman to come and speak with him where he claimed he had been drunk and begged for forgiveness, crying on his knees.
The woman did not go the police at the time saying she thought that it would "destroy her".
After the attack the woman discovered she was pregnant, and believed it to be Sewell's as she and her husband used protection when they had sex.
When she told Sewell he had simply said: "I hope you have a girl"
At this point the woman said she thought that Sewell must be "insane".
The woman miscarried three weeks later, which she called a "blessing in disguise".
The trial continues.

Oldie but goodie
Sounds like a winner to me, but don't think I would go home for a long time!!!!!
Four guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the group is to leave, Ron's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.
Ron's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.
Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Ron sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire.
"Dang man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"
"Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?'" I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie. She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals all over. On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did. And then she said, "Do whatever you want".
Here I am.
Any day above dirt is a good day!!! My New Motto: Where Do I Sign? (Oh yes I would)

Test: An easy VPN with SSL-Explorer
SSL-Explorer provides an easy, web-based interface for configuring a virtual private network.
Road warriors and remote staff often need to access their corporate networks from arbitrary locations. Virtual private networks (VPNs) support private remote access via the Internet. VPN solutions use cryptography to protect Internet traffic from tapping and manipulation. Many VPN tools, however, are hard to set up and require changes to firewalls. SSL-Explorer [1] provides an easy alternative. SSL-Explorer sets up a Webbased VPN and only requires a Javacapable browser as a client (Figure 1). A practical Web tool provides a configuration front-end. SSL_Explorer tunnels TCP-based network protocols such as SMTP, POP, and HTTP across an SSL-protected connection.

A large isosceles triangle in Abruzzo Wool 100% in Ground and Rock colors.
This garment completely deconstructs the concept of shawl in his habitual use. The shape is clearly evident in use that is placed on the shoulders with the tip down to below the knees or knotted around the neck with the tip at the front covering just below the hips.
An exaggerated and highlighted tip with long fringes in contrasting color facilitates the versatility of use.
Elegant or sporty this garment fits most circumstances, in different moods at different places and in different climates.
The thermal characteristics of the shawl are enhanced when worn with other natural fibers such as silk, cotton, linen, etc. The adaptation of natural wool to body temperature is favored if between the skin and the wool there are breathable natural fibers.
Abruzzo Wool: A pleasure to (re)discover!
Good Wool at all!
Washing: It is advisable to wash the item once made with wool detergent (Marseille soap), avoiding sudden changes in water temperature and avoiding violent rubbing that could damage fibers getting them felted. Lay the garment on a towel placed on the drying rack in horizontal, away from radiators and direct sunlight possibly at air "shaping" it, giving it again with hands the original form thus avoiding stretching it once dried.

"They have to keep three years of e-mail and, if they don't, they're fined," Pyra said. "You have to go out and buy the software and the systems. The ROI on that is that, if you don't do it, they lose their license."
Documenting Change
One thread that connects many of these requirements is the need to document changes, which also takes a lot of time and energy.
"Documenting our controls, there's nothing wrong with that," said Jim Harding, senior vice president and CIO of Henry Schein, a distributor of healthcare services. "But as far as doing projects that will enhance our competitive lead, (documentation) doesn't help us. I'd rather work on projects that have ROI and the must-dos cut into those projects."
The Occasional Silver Lining
Some CIOs did note, however, that not all compliance related activities are inherently bad. For one, regulations often lead enterprises to adopt best practices. In addition, regulations can, at times, help improve bottom line results, even in small companies.
"I try to look at our Graham-Leach-Bliley compliance activities as an opportunity," said Home Savings' DeNovo. "It has helped us expand our view of potential risks and threats."
All the CIOs interview for this story agree that even compliance and security issues can be challenging in the best sense of the word.
"The 'fun' in Sarbanes-Oxley is understanding all the systems you're using," said Gaucherin.

Car insurance costs will halve by 2020 as driverless vehicles become the norm on British roads, according to figures obtained by Telegraph Money.
Self-piloted cars could cut annual premiums by £265 on average within five years because the vehicles are expected to "eliminate bad driving", which is the cause of 90pc of road accidents.
According to industry experts, the new technology is developing at such a pace that road accidents caused by human error will be almost eliminated in the next half-decade. Nearly all new cars will park and drive on the motorway automatically, and communicate with vehicles to avoid collisions.
John Leech, head of auto at consultancy KPMG, said: "Insurance premiums could halve once vehicles which communicate with each other and an 'autopilot mode' when driving on the motorway are developed – this is likely to happen by approximately 2020."
Google's driverless car is expected to be seen on UK roads by 2025
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles – The UK Economic Opportunity (KPMG)
• The overall economic and social benefit of connected and autonomous vehicles could be in the region of £51 billion per year by 2030.
• Connected and autonomous vehicles could create an additional 320,000 jobs in the UK by 2030, 25,000 of which would be in automotive manufacturing.
• By 2030, connected and autonomous vehicles could save over 2,500 lives and prevent more than 25,000 serious accidents in the UK.
KPMG has a report- "Self Driving Cars are we Ready?
Historically costs have been kept high by "avoidable accidents", which account for the majority of insurance payouts, said Matthew Avery, safety researcher at Thatcham, a vehicle rating firm.
Whiplash claims and car parking disputes, for example, cost more than £3 billion a year and account for 94pc of all insurance claims.
Manufacturers claim hi-tech driverless cars can eliminate these types of accidents. The vehicles are already being tested on the roads in America.
According to predictions by the British Insurance Brokers' Association (Biba), nine in 10 cars owned in Britain will be fitted with some sort of "smart" technology within five years, with accident numbers falling sharply as a result.
Mr Avery said: "Because of these technologies a lot of commentators are predicting an 80 per cent reduction in killed and seriously injured on our roads within 15 to 20 years which is great news."
By 2030, newer automatic vehicles should prevent 90pc of cases of people being killed or seriously injured on the road, according to separate predictions made by KPMG.

May 11, 2011MATCH STATS MATCH EVENTS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (CSNAP) Davide Chiumiento scored in second-half injury time to give the Vancouver Whitecaps a rainy 1-1 tie with the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night.Chiumiento put a curving shot from the right flank past goalkeeper Jon Busch.Chris Wondolowski scored his fourth goal of the season for San Jose in the 39th minute.After goalkeeper Jay Nolly made a diving save on Sami Cronin's liner from about 25 yards out, San Jose striker Steven Lenhart snared the rebound near the end line and set up Wondolowski.The expansion Whitecaps are 1-4-5. The Earthquakes (1-4-3) are winless in six games.San Joses lineup was notexactly loaded with firepower tonight, which made the goal they scored evenmore impressive.
Brad Ring and SamCronin dont ordinarily provide offensive spark and there isnt a lot ofcreativity in the San Joseattack.
What ended up working werequick, short passes involving four or five different players giving the Quakesa sustained attack within scoring distance.Stephen Lenhart was particularly good with the ball in traffic,releasing it at just the right time and the other Quakes unselfishly followedsuit.
Defensively, the back line ofBeitashour, Opara, Burling and Corrales played very well and got lots of helpfrom the mid field. Sealy, Lenhart,Wondolowski and Johnson were terrific.
Sealy played midfield and was able to stay on side the entirematch. He played 60 minutes and KhariStephenson came in to finish the match.

Right after a little bit of study I discovered the creator being From Application who worked on much of the Tenchu franchise and Armored Central collection between other titles, not any of those video games simply being also first class.

He will be provided yet another opportunity in the recent degree just by pressing the place pub.

Let's face the facts, just about the most enjoyable attributes of any preventing game titles may be the complexness of your respective opponents.

Although I've been posting quotations lately (it's been busy in my neck of the woods), I do have a new site where future content will be posted: www.stylorougeonline.com/blog.
Arguments over grammar and style are often as fierce as those over IBM versus Mac, and as fruitless as Coke versus Pepsi and boxers versus briefs. —Jack Lynch
I am a fan of the serial (Oxford) comma because it clearly distinguishes the difference between the first object, the second object, and the third object. I am not alone in my preference; Chicago and The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation strongly recommend use of the serial comma.
The Associated Press and newspaper publications, such as The New York Times, traditionally have omitted the serial comma in a series in which a meaning is clear: tigers, lions and bears. However, the serial comma is included when a sentence can be confusing or the meaning would be altered without it: The architect, builder and designer decided to move forward with the construction plans. There is a possibility that someone would think the architect is also the builder and designer, therefore, adding a serial comma after builder would clearly distinguish that the series includes three people.
So what's the final ruling on using the serial comma? Include it when clarity dictates such usage. However, consistent application of the serial comma would help writers to err on the safe side.

Two main kinds of conjunctions are subordinating and coordinating conjunctions. (Remember, conjunctions join words or groups of words.) Subordinating conjunctions join clauses of unequal standing and coordinating conjunctions join clauses of equal standing. Examples of subordinating conjunctions include after, although, because, before, if, since, unless, until, when, and while. The seven coordinating conjunctions can be remembered with the acronym FANBOYS:
Subordinating conjunction example: I have not seen him since he left. The word since connects "I have not seen him" to "he left." This also is an example of an independent clause ("I have not seen him") that is joined to a dependent clause ("since he left"). Remember, dependent clauses that stand alone are sentence fragments.
Coordinating conjunction example: Jane ordered soup and salad for her meal. The word and connects two things of equal standing as part of Jane's meal, "soup" and "salad." Cutting out "and salad" would be inappropriate because "soup" was not Jane's entire meal.
In grammar school, I was taught to avoid beginning a sentence with conjunctions. But it's a practice I've since eschewed in informal writing. Grammar Girl's explanation for this practice is spot-on:
The answer is that many teachers cautioned students against starting sentences with conjunctions (especially in the past) because if you don't do it right, you can create sentence fragments.
However, it is perfectly all right to use a conjunction to start a sentence. (In case you didn't know, however can be used as a conjunction.) The Chicago Manual of Style also refutes this popular myth:
There is a widespread belief—one with no historical or grammatical foundation—that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but, or so. In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions. It has been so for centuries, and even the most conservative grammarians have followed this practice.
Using a subordinating conjunction to begin a sentence is more acceptable in formal writing than using a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). Beginning a sentence with a coordinating conjunction tends to be dramatic or, as Grammar Girl put it, adds "punch." And too much punch is never good—whether it be a drink or in writing.
So it's okay to use a conjunction at the beginning of a sentence. Just make sure that it doesn't create an unnecessary sentence fragment.

I'm a big fan of editing and keeping only the interesting bits in. —Sarah Vowell
After publishing my "affect" vs. "impact" post, I received a few comments from people who weren't sure when to use affect or effect. (I purposely avoided this before because it's a widespread topic.) For the most part, it can be easy to determine. Affect often functions as a verb and effect generally is used as a noun. If you're not a doctor and tempted to write "the affect," as an LOL cat would say, "Ur doin' it wrong."
Merriam-Webster defines affect as "to produce an effect upon." Grammar Girl says affect "most commonly means something like 'to influence' or 'to change.'" Merriam-Webster uses the following words to define effect: "intent," "appearance," or "accomplishment." Effect can also be defined as a result of something.
To determine whether to use affect or effect, my trick is the same as Grammar Girl's: remember to use effect with an e when using an article such as an or the. The ends in an e and effect begins with an e. Therefore, "the two e's butt up against each other." Here's Grammar Girl's example: The effect was eye-popping. If the sentence still makes sense with the word result then the word is likely being used correctly, e.g., The result was eye-popping. If you were to write, "The affect of the situation is dire," you would be wrong. However, "The raging blaze affected the house adversely" is correct. (Notice the is not used with affected.)
There are exceptions to many rules and affect and effect have them. (For example, if you're a psychologist and use the word affect as a noun in reference to a patient's demeanor, you'd be correct. Or sometimes effect can be used as a verb.) However, if you stick to the general guidelines above, you'll be right most of the time.
Do you know of any other tips or tricks to differentiate when to use affect or effect?
1. Mignon Fogarty, Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing, (New York: St. Martin's Griffin, 2008), 8–11.
2. Merriam-Webster, s.v. "effect," accessed February 16, 2012, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/effect.
4. Merriam-Webster, s.v. "affect," accessed February 16, 2012, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/affect.
Grammar Girl recently wrote about this, but it's something I've been running into with my work so I thought I'd address it too.
The word impact has taken on the meaning of "to influence" in the way the verb affect often does. According to Grammar Girl, impact is often used this way in business jargon, but I contend that impact's use to mean affect has grown beyond the business world.
Merriam-Webster defines impact as "to fix firmly," "to strike forcefully," or "to have a direct effect or impact on." Affect as a verb can be defined as "to produce an effect upon."
Grammar Girl advises using impact as a noun:
Quick and Dirty Tip: If you can put an article such as "an" or "the" in front of "impact," you are using it in the most proper way—as a noun. He wondered what the impact of the changes would be.
I prefer to replace affect for impact when it functions as a verb, but not always. Sometimes when the writer wants to make a point about a forceful effect, I don't edit the use of impact or impacted. It may not be what grammar sticklers like or wholly correct, but I allow for exceptions if the writer's audience will understand its usage.

Police in Hobbs, N.M., have arrested two suspects and charged them with attempted murder in the Sunday morning shooting of Rodrick Green, 21.
Green was caught in the crossfire of a shootout after a birthday party, police said.
Marshall Jackson and Eric Hawkins, both age 20, of Hobbs were arrested early Wednesday and charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder each.
Green remained in criticaled condition Wednesday at University Medical Center in Lubbock.
But as Green lay in a hospital bed recuperating from three gunshot wounds Wednesday, police said he wasn't the intended victim.
"There was another guy they were aiming at," Hobbs police Capt. Mike Emerson said.
The intended victim, police said, was Keylie Martin, who escaped injury after a verbal altercation between two groups: he and his party companion, Ann Smith, and Jackson and Hawkins.
The argument apparently started outside the house at 900 S. Sixth St. over accusations by Smith of infidelity by one of Hawkins' family members, reports state.
When the argument escalated, Hawkins pulled a black .380-caliber handgun from inside his jacket, witnesses told police.
After Martin told Smith to be quiet, the report states, Jackson entered the altercation by telling Hawkins, "Lets get the (expletive)," apparently referring to Martin.
Jackson then reached into his pocket, pulled out a handgun and loaded it, the report states.
Hawkins then reportedly asked Martin, "What problems do you have with us?" to which Martin asked "What problems do you have with us?
"The next thing I know Eric and Marshall both started shooting at me," Martin told police.
Green, who Emerson said was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, was struck twice in the left part of his chest and once in the left side of his neck.
Both Jackson and Hawkins were being held Wednesday at the Lea County jail in Lovington. Bond was set at $153,000 for Jackson and $100,600 for Hawkins.

To see why the wireless earbuds are a problem for audiophiles, we need to begin at the opposite end of the process, when analog signal (music) becomes a digital representation.
There are two steps in the process: first, the continuous analog signal is sliced in time, "sampled," so that it's now represented by a sequence of analog levels; second, those analog levels are compared with a finite scale, the digital scale, and the best approximation is used to represent the level, thusly:
There are two sources of information loss (or "noise") in this process:
1. By taking level slices of a continuous curve, the sampling creates an imperfect representation of the curve; that's called sampling noise. The longer the slices, that is the less often the analog input is sampled, the higher this sampling noise.
2. By forcing the analog samples, which are on a continuous scale, to match the limited levels of a digital scale, the process creates a second type of noise, quantization noise. In the above example, the difference between the digital output for periods (1) and (2) is higher than the difference between the analog samples for those periods. Also, periods (2) and (3) have the same digital output, despite the different analog sample levels.To reduce sampling noise we can sample more often, that is have thinner slices of time so that there are more analog samples to represent the same curve. To lower quantization noise we can have more digital levels; typically the number of levels is a power of 2, since we use binary coding.
For example, CD encoding used 44,100 samples per second per channel at 16 bits of resolution (allowing $2^{16}$ or 65,536 different levels); this was deemed enough for music since it allowed for an upper frequency limit of over 20 kHz (generally considered the limit of human hearing) and a dynamic range of 96dB (each bit adds 6dB; the choice of 96dB was widely panned by audiophiles as too small).*
As with everything in engineering (and in life, really) this was a matter of trade-offs. Later we've gone beyond these limits with other standards like SACD, for example. But the problem of trade-off remains, typically that of space or bandwidth against quality of reproduction.
Before compression, the total number of bits necessary to represent a stereo signal sampled at a rate of $s$ samples per second and a number of digital levels $2^{N}$ is $2 \, s \, N$ bits per second; because there's a lot of redundancy in music (no, it's not just Philip Glass), there are opportunities for compression.
Sometimes the music is compressed without losing information, called "lossless compression"; an example is FLAC, which has all the information necessary to reconstruct the original uncompressed digital music file. This is similar to compressing a data file for transmission; after decompression the reconstituted file must be identical to the original. (FLAC uses regularities of music to compress data more efficiently than a general compression algorithm.)
Sometimes the compression loses information that is deemed unnecessary, called "lossy compression"; MP3 compression is lossy. Lossy compression adds sampling and/or quantization noise to the original data, though the design of the compression scheme is supposed to minimize the aural effect of those additional errors in some trade-off with the compression ratio.
On the other hand, because plastic CDs and wireless signals sometimes get damaged, some space or bandwidth has to be used for error-correction codes and other digital administrative minutia. When the iPhone connects to the earbuds by wire, it can send an analog signal, but when it connects via Bluetooth, the signal is digital, must be compressed for transmission and requires a lot of network administration detritus.
So, one of the first questions wireless earbuds raise is: is Apple sending enough data over that Bluetooth connection for an audiophile? This isn't the only question, though.
Using the very best in advanced engineering CAD displays, we can see that this is only the first of four classes of problems:
Problem class 1: Quality of the Data
Apple's decision to go wireless changes the transmission of data between the main processor and the digital-to-analog conversion from a wired connector inside the phone, and protected from most interference, to a digital transmission over a noisy channel (Bluetooth). That means that a lot of other things have to be transmitted, in particular handshaking data, error-correction codes, and diagnostic signals.
The problem is mostly that Apple went from being a perfectionist's personal fiefdom (during the reign of His Steveness, may his divine hand bless you with a bounty of new MacBookPros) to being a company looking to make a buck. And companies looking to make a buck make different trade-offs.
His Steveness wanted the best. He might not have gotten it always, but he made products for people who wanted to brag they had the best. (Even when by all objective measures they didn't.) But now, the whole company seems to be into the "milk our brand while it lasts" phase of its corporate life cycle, so I'd venture that their trade-offs are much closer to the general public's than those of the fringes.
His Steveness run the company targeting the fringes, so that the general [Apple-buying] public could
Not anymore. Not for Apple.
Taking a lossy compression like MP3 and compressing even further for the earbuds (possibly limiting both the frequency and the dynamic ranges) isn't a recipe for audiophile sound. It does work for phone calls, and that's probably what most phones are used for. But for music... no.
(At this point I should mention that digital audiophiles have moved on from Apple a while ago, putting up with
Problem class 2: Quality of Digital To Analog Conversion
A second source of problems is the digital-to-analog conversion circuitry. Among the many problems that can come from a cheap (and low-power, which is important in wireless earbuds) DAC, the most obvious are reproduction errors (the same digital input doesn't map to the same voltage consistently, or the difference between digital levels doesn't match to the appropriate difference in voltages). This isn't that much of a problem in 2016 (it used to be in the 1990s).
Another, more serious problem has to do with the precision of the timing, which is one of the major reason why if you care about computer music you'll get an external DAC, possibly a Chord Mojo or an Audioquest Dragonfly. (Or maybe something from the brand that can't be named.)
Even small errors in timing (some of which are induced by the buffering and data processing necessary to extract the digital music from the wireless signal) can lead to significant phase distortion, in that the 'time' used to reproduce the music doesn't match real time.
To illustrate this problem, consider the following phase-distorted sine wave (slightly exaggerated to make the case visible, but even very small phase distortions sound horrible):
Comparing the two periods of the distorted wave, T1 and T2, you can see that phase distortion in this case induces frequency variation. This means that instruments will sound as if they are out-of-tune, and [if you're over 30 you'll get this reference] like your brand-spanking-new iPhone is a cassette player running out of battery power.
If you accidentally downloaded a [poorly encoded] FLAC file from a torrent site you accidentally fell into while looking for a French Literature study group, accidentally run that FLAC file through a FLAC to MP3 converter that you accidentally had on your computer, then accidentally played it and noticed strange warbling and high pitch glitches, that's an entirely accidental observation of very bad phase distortion.
This is why any audiophile wants a DAC that uses its own timing circuitry and buffer, rather than depend on the shared circuitry involved in network management etc.
Problem class 3: Fixed- vs Variable-Gain Analog Amplification
Many computers (and I assume all iPods and iPhones) have a fixed gain amplifier for the reconstructed analog signal. That means that changes in volume are created by multiplying the digital signal by digital fractions prior to conversion to analog. In essence, removing data from the signal.
For example, to halve a digital number, all you need to do is shift all bits right, disposing of the lower-significance bit and adding a zero at the highest significant bit (or, depending on how negative numbers are encoded, adding a copy of the previously high bit). This means that one bit of data has been lost. The sound is not just half-volume, but also half-dynamic range; each halving of volume removes one bit or 6 dB of dynamic range:
$\texttt{[1000101001011011]} \rightarrow \texttt{[0100010100101101]} \rightarrow \texttt{[0010001010010110] }$
If the original dynamic range of the data was higher than that of humans (CD or CD-derived online purchase or stream? No, it wasn't!), then this loss isn't important. Otherwise (i.e. basically always), your music just became lower resolution.
In a better sound system (i.e. any external DAC/amp), the analog signal out of the DAC goes into an analog amplifier that has variable gain. In some systems the variable gain is controlled with a knob, in others using a digital interface. But in both cases the amplifier tends to be a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier, in which the analog signal path is all analog and only the gain is controlled by a digital system (typically a feedback network of switchable topology).
(An alternative approach is to take the, say, 16-bit data and shift it 8 bits up into the most significant bits of a 24-bit word, then multiply that by an 8-bit fraction (thus allowing for 256 different volume levels) and feed the result to a 24-bit DAC, whose result will feed a fixed-gain amplifier. This allows for the whole process to be digital as long as possible.)
The amplification issue alone is worth getting an external DAC; but it's important to also consider the next point.
(My Audioquest Dragonfly is usually plugged into a powered USB hub, so it doesn't rely on the computer USB bus power.)
Problem class 4: Power issues
And this is the big big one. You like loud music? Well, expect distortion as soon as the volume gets loud. Because most of these small batteries aren't able to deliver the current needed fast enough. So what happens is that as the output voltage increases by $\Delta v$, requiring a $\propto (\Delta v)^2$ increase in power, the amplifier "fixed" gain starts to decrease, more so the higher the $\Delta v$, and we get... well, we get this:
That compression of the sine wave makes it sound nasal. When your music sounds like that, it's a sign that your amplifier is not being able to draw enough power. Note that this is different from the clipping that happens if the transistors in the output stage enter the saturation regime; in that case, instead of a smooth scrunched sine wave, we get a flat-volume squared wave, which makes everything sound like a heavy metal guitar.**
Ever wonder why 100W audiophile amplifiers have external power supplies that look bigger than the 1000W power supply on a computer server? That's because they are. Abundant power is an essential part of clean amplification, and without clean amplification the rest doesn't matter. And the way you get abundant power is you have a lot of slack available.
Care to bet how much slack power those earbuds have?
Does it matter?
To whom?
To me, no. I have a number of other, better sources of music, and I use the iPhone as an internet device and, astonishingly, as a phone. Weird, I know.
To those who just want to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, maybe some music in noisy environments? Of course not.
To an audiophile, who for some unexplained reason doesn't get a cheap lossless player like the Fiio X5? Yes, it matters, but this audiophile has the option to get the new Audioquest Dragonfly RED, with a tail adapter for the iPhone, so that's what s/he should do. Pair that with a nice pair of big cans like the Sennheiser 650s (in my opinion the best quality/price cans on the market), and you're set.
To an audiosnob who can't tell the difference between 866kbps Apple lossless and 32kbps mono MP3 but insists on having "the very best," preferably Bang & Olufsen or some other design-heavy, sound quality-light, high-reconition brand? Yes, it will matter a lot. (Audiosnobs have already invaded Head-Fi and other audiophile forums arguing against the iPhone 7 from their usual position, ignorance.)
-- -- -- -- Footnotes -- -- -- --
* Yes, the Nyquist limit for 44.1 kHz sampling is 22.05 kHz... as long as the anti-aliasing filter is a perfect step function in the frequency domain. The universe containing exactly zero perfect step function anti-aliasing filters, I and the entire engineering profession prefer to hedge by saying that it's "over 20 kHz."
When audiophiles say that LPs (Long Play records, aka "vinyl," Olivia Wilde not included) have better sound than CDs, they are usually referring to dynamic range. It's not just that CDs have only 96dB of range, but much worse, that in transferring the music from the master recordings to CD, sound
(The standard example is the butchery of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing," which was so compressed for the CD that it lost the whole point of the intro. Hey, though I listen almost exclusively to art music and jazz, nostalgia has its place.)
** That's because the sound effect that makes electric guitars sound like that is precisely pre-amping the sound so high that the output stage transistors will saturate and clip the waveform square, at the same time removing almost all volume envelope effects. You can do this to any instrument including voice.
Added later: yes, I know all these effects are digital now. Kids these days! In my day you built your effects with transistors, µA741s and sometimes NE555s. None of that "digitize, FFT, do whatever, convert out" nonsense. We had grit!

"There's a reason why Brewster can't have friends – why he can't care about too many people. Because when he cares about you, things start to happen. Impossible things that can't be explained. I know, because they're happening to me."The Bruiser is a strange boy--ahem, more like man, but still. He's secluded as well as excluded. He doesn't have friends. He doesn't like anybody. He's always the butt of the joke. Until Bronte. While working as a library assistant, Bronte assists the Bruiser in finding a poetry book. Not for a school assignment, but to read for fun. This is what intrigues Bronte the most. It isn't long before they're going on their first date that Tennyson, Bronte's older brother, dutifully ambushes with his girlfriend Katrina.
When Brontë starts dating Brewster "Bruiser" Rawlins – the guy voted "Most Likely to Get the Death Penalty" her twin brother, Tennyson, isn't surprised. But then strange things begin to occur. Tennyson and Brontë's scrapes heal unnaturally fast, and cuts disappear before their eyes. What at first seems like their good fortune turns out to be more than they bargained for…much more.
It seems as though Bronte is the only one who can see past the Bruiser's cold, rock-hard outer-self and to the soft-hearted boy on the inside. Tennyson, at first, believes the rumors and thinks that the Bruiser is just bad news. But once he really starts to get to know the Bruiser, he comes to realize that there's a real person beyond the rugged front that the Bruiser puts up to protect himself from the world.
"He's quiet," says Bronte. "He's inscrutable, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person. You know what they say: still waters run deep--"At first I thought this book was really weird, but then it got real interesting real fast and it appealed to me more. Tennyson was my favorite character. Despite the fact that he is a hot-headed meathead ("meathead" being Brew's word), he's extremely loyal, and I love that about him. He started getting freaky in the end, but side effects are side effects.
"--and are full of missing persons."
Bronte, Tennyson's sister as well as Brew's sister, was alright. She'd be that one girl in my class that was nice to everybody, and I'd swear that it was fake. For Bronte, it's real. I just wouldn't really like her. I'd most likely make snide remarks about her and what she does. I would criticize her every move, thinking that there were underlying intentions in each one. I think that makes me somewhat insufferable, but I just wouldn't like her all that much judging on how she acts in Bruiser. We wouldn't be friends if she was real and I knew her in real life.
The reason I gave this book three stars and nothing higher is because it really didn't do much for me. It didn't teach me any important life lesson (although I think it should) nor did it teach me about character or anything of that sort. I liked it, but it didn't "move mountains" for me so to speak.
The first thing that really perturbed me about this book was that Brew's power. The extent of his healing wasn't all that shocking toward the end of the book, and I feel like this idea could've been explored a bit more in terms of the paranormal aspect of Bruiser. Also, it bugged me how Brew just submitted to his uncle's words and actions. He had to know that what his uncle was doing was wrong, and yet he never went anywhere. I know that he faced the foster care system, but...still.
Also, I didn't really like Brew's young brother Cody. He always expected Brew to heal all his injuries and he didn't seem to care that his older brother was in a lot of pain at his expense. I don't care if he was a kid; he was majorly insensitive toward his older brother and had no right to blame Tennyson for his attachment to Brew and his power, because that just made him [Cody] a hypocrite. Cody had no regard for his own well being because he believed that Brew would always heal him, which was partly true. I sort of wished that Brew just let Cody deal with his injuries from time to time, but that clearly wasn't an option for him at the time.
In conclusion, I enjoyed this book, but I didn't love it. It definitely had its flaws and things that could be improved. It's very different from Shusterman's other novel that I've read Unwind. It's hard to read another one of his books, because I want all of them to live up to Unwind, which was just amazing. I wouldn't recommend this book, but I wouldn't not recommend it either. It would be worth the money in my opinion if you want to buy it. Just don't get your hopes up for something amazing after reading Unwind. The two books are nothing alike in terms of being mind-blowingly awesome.
"Life," my father once said, "is all about settling." Unfortunately, he'd said that right in front of Mom, who proceeded to serve him a peanut butter and onion sandwich for dinner that night.
"Life is all about settling," she reminded him as she slipped the plate in front of him.

So far, 'Fast & Furious' franchise now has a total profit of 1.37 Billion dollars according to Universal. Furious 7 now earned $119 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend and $283 million on its entire theatre run in the US, Canada according to Boxoffice.com.
After Paul Walker's Death, Universal Studios thrown to doubt that it will never hit the market. But it has emerged stronger than ever and now they are planning more of the series. The production said that on April 14, 2017 is the debut of "Furious 8" and it was confirmed by Vin Diesel at Universal CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas.
"We were giddy and excited," said Diesel. "You all gave me so much confidence. There was so much love."
Just before Diesel made his announcement, footage screened of the final moment of "Furious 7, "a scene in which the two characters go on one final car race before going their separate ways.
"You've been so loyal all along," Diesel told exhibitors. "You helped us create history here."
"Furious 7″ is No.7 on the list of highest-grossing films of all time after hitting $1.15 billion at the worldwide box office.

A trickle of rumors about a cheaper iPhone has recently turned into a gush. This would seem to lend support to the idea that a budget iPhone really is about to launch at the end of 2013. But it's puzzling that the rumors don't seem to converge on one product concept. On the contrary, they point to opposite directions. Perhaps the most imposing article written on the topic was published by Bloomberg on January 9th. The story echoed a Wall Street Journal piece from January 8th, but Bloomberg went one decisive step further than WSJ by giving a very specific retail price range for the cheap iPhone: $99 to $149. This, of course, would hit the phone market like a neutron bomb. The current retail price of a two-year old iPhone model is about $350. So Bloomberg in effect claimed that Apple is considering undercutting the price of an iPhone launched two generations ago by 57%.
