Nick Proschwitz Sone Aluko stunned Newcastle with a stunning winner as Hull fought back to claim a shock victory at St James' Park.The Nigerian steered an inch-perfect 76th-minute volley past keeper Tim Krul to make it 3-2 after the Tigers had twice come from behind on Tyneside.But Magpies boss Alan Pardew will have been furious with the way his side capitulated on a day when striker Loic Remy demonstrated his potency.The Frenchman, the club's only senior summer addition, struck twice before the break to give his side the lead, much to the delight of watching owner Mike Ashley and director of football Joe Kinnear.However, to the horror of the bulk of a crowd of 51,523, Newcastle endured a dreadful day at the back and were made to pay for their failings.It took Remy just 11 minutes to get his name on the scoresheet, heading home from close range after strike-partner Papiss Cisse had dragged a shot across the face of goal.But after a promising start by the Magpies, they allowed Hull to work their way back into the game and they were level within 15 minutes when Robbie Brady was gifted time and space inside the penalty area to beat Krul.The home side were laboured in the efforts to restore their advantage, but they did so a minute before half-time when Remy pounced on a loose ball to beat goalkeeper Allan McGregor for a second time.But Newcastle failed to learn their lesson and were punished once again with the second half just three minutes old when former Sunderland winger Ahmed Elmohamady ran unchecked on to Brady's free-kick to level.The home side flattered to deceive for long periods, dominating possession, but creating too little to make the pressure count as the Tigers defended deep to pave the way for Aluko's late strike.Kinnear, who sat alongside Ashley, had defended his summer transfer dealings in his programme notes, citing "grossly over-inflated" fees and agents' demands for the lack of permanent signings.He also expressed his delight with the one man he did manage to get through the door, and Remy repaid his faith in style in his first home start.Newcastle came out of the blocks with genuine purpose and pinned the Tigers back deep inside their own half, and it took them just 11 minutes to get their noses in front.Moussa Sissoko's cross from the right fell perfectly for Papiss Cisse beyond the far post and although he mishit his volley, the ball sat up nicely for Remy to plant a header past McGregor.However, as Hull retreated behind the ball, they managed to stem the flow, largely frustrated man-of-the-moment Hatem Ben Arfa down the right and central frontman Cisse.They might have been level when the home side failed to deal with a 17th-minute Tom Huddlestone corner, but defender Curtis Davies completely missed his kick, and Jake Livermore was denied by first Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and then Fabricio Coloccini in quick succession.Danny Graham, without a goal since January, passed up a glorious opportunity to end his drought when he headed straight at Krul from point-blank range with 26 minutes gone, but Hull were back on terms within seconds when the lively Aluko fed the ball into the path of Brady, who fired left-footed through Krul's legs.For 10 minutes, Pardew's men found themselves on the back foot with the visitors sensing an opportunity.However, they gradually re-established a momentum and regained the lead a minute before the break when Chester could only block Yohan Cabaye's shot to Remy, who gleefully stroked the rebound past McGregor.But shambolic defending cost the home side dear within three minutes of the restart when Elmohamady was allowed to meet Brady's free-kick unopposed and saw his glancing header go in off the post.Stung by the reverse, the Magpies launched an all-out assault on McGregor's goal, although to little effect.Ben Arfa almost unlocked the door with a 64th-minute free-kick, but Cisse was unable to make contact in front of goal.Another goalless afternoon for Cisse - he has now not scored in 11 games - ended with 17 minutes remaining when he was replaced by Sylvain Marveaux.

What would the liberals do if someday Islam finally took over the USA 'Don't drink alcohol, have sex or even hold hands': Foreign Office advice to keep Britons out of jail in Dubai By Daily Mail Reporter The Foreign Office warns that drinking alcohol, sharing a hotel room when unmarried and even holding hands could land visitors in trouble because of strict Muslim laws.

I think most liberals want government and religion to be separate. It's "conservatives" who typically support laws based on religious beliefs, so perhaps your question is better directed at them.
Depends how you define this separation. Constitution only forbids the establishment of a state-run religion and forbids the government from infringing on religious freedom. It does not preclude the government being influenced by religion (as Thomas Jefferson's later writings explained...)
Actually, I think the language just says "establishment of religion" -- which is more vague (intentionally?) than "state run." (There's no way government can be prevented from being influenced by religion until people aren't influenced by religion, for better or worse.)
WWLD if the islamics took over the USA? Be happy that Harry would never have a need to start a 'Man marries chicken' thread again. Of course, Harry's island spontaneously lurching into the air, flying south and landing safely, off the coast of New Jersey(making it so Harry would take his thread ideas to the Jets' board) is about as likely to happen.
Well, here's a nice thought for all civilized societies... Islam will never become a dominant or even a significant religion in any advanced society....Anyone who follows a religion with such strict, ancient rules and laws is wishing for society to go backwards...and that mis amigos aint a happenin'!!! Islam is doomed & allah and mohammed (if I could draw a cartoon here, I would!) are sinking ships..... So REJOICE!!:rocker:
I will re-word it "what would liberals do if muslims took over america" You don't tell the muslims to seperate church and state if you try you die, that was my point, I can't understand the liberal love affair with Islam, the Muslim Religion seems to be against everything the liberal believes.
I don't think liberals love the Islamic faith Harry. When I was a liberal, I still hated it! Sharia law sucks...always has
Depends on what you mean -- are these "regular" Christians and Muslims or extremists? And I presume you mean that the country would be run under some form of religious law?
Why would we have to choose, WP? Here's Harry's dire warning about Muslim countries: 'Don't drink alcohol, have sex or even hold hands': Foreign Office advice to keep Britons out of jail in Dubai By Daily Mail Reporter The Foreign Office warns that drinking alcohol, sharing a hotel room when unmarried and even holding hands could land visitors in trouble because of strict Muslim laws. I know fundamental Christian groups who would be perfectly happy with these same rules. They already live by them. When my middle son got married the fundamentalist half of his new bride's family got up and left the reception when the wine was uncorked and the dancing began. Besides, WP, what makes you think a Jew would want to live in a country run by either group? Either way they're both asking us to follow the rules of a God we don't believe in.
Not really vague, if you recall your American History (do they still teach that?) a number of colonies were established to escape from situations where only 1 religion was allowed by the King(s). The founders wanted to ensure that people were free to practice the religion they choose not the one they were ordered to choose by the government, they never envisioned that religious influences were to be prohibited from the public dialogue. This is a recent invention of the left, since the time of Lenin.
Look at the demographics of Europe, muslims were be the majority in another 50 years. Muslims have babies and Ethnic Europeans have abortions.
Which Christian countries enforces these strictures, OTOH which muslim countries enforce Sharia law, see the difference, one (Christian fundamentalist state) is a fantasy based on paranoid speculation, the other is happening NOW.

Went to a Veterinary Medical conference in the City of Fiorenze with my boyfriend traveling from Utah. It was a 35 minute ride on the bus from the B & B to one of the main squares San Marco, 2 blocks away from our conference center in town .. The location is spectacular, service made you feel right at home. Accommodations were updated, clean. modern and comfortable. Claudio, our host was inspiring, knowledgeable and a great cook himself. Highly recommend this lovely B & B in Tuscany

Apple shines at Macworld, even with MVP Jobs benched
This year's Macworld keynote had the potential to be a real stinker – what with über-CEO Steve Jobs sitting things out for health reasons and the company's announcement that this was the last time it would attend the annual trade show. But even with Jobs out, the Cupertino-based company presented software updates and a new laptop that earned squeals from fanboys.
The biggest announcement in the presentation by Apple's Phil Schiller was that the company's iTunes music store would be dropping digital rights management (DRM) from all the songs it sells. Boy Genius Report had one of the first rundowns of the changes.
Also significant on the music side of things is a change in the company's once-simple song pricing scheme. Instead of a flat $.99 fee per song, some older, "bargain bin" songs may now be scooped up for $.69, while other, more in-demand titles will increase to $1.29. The move is a departure from Mr. Jobs' conviction that the iTunes store's success hinged on a simple pricing model.
Finally, iPhone owners can now download songs over a 3G connection – rather than being limited to downloading music when connected to a Wi-Fi network. Gizmodo has a good overview.

Re: Other Slovene girls - introductions and results
I just realized. Out of that awesome generation of Slovenian girls born in the years 80 and 81, Petra Rampre is the last one standing and still competing in singles
Katarina Srebotnik, Tina Pisnik, Maja Matevzic, Tina Hergold, Petra Rampre, Nives Culum and Tina Hojnik won all 3 possible Junior World Team Championships in the categories U-14(1995), U-16(1996) and U-18(1997). The first 3 made it to the top 100 in singles and doubles, Rampre to top 100 in doubles, the rest dropped out due to injuries. Now we're seeing the swan song of this generation

Description Various devices and methods for stabilizing bone structures have been used for many years. For example, the fracture of an elongated bone, such as a femur or humerus, can be stabilized by securing a plate to the fractured bone across the fracture. The plate extends across the fractured area and thus stabilizes the fractured components of the bones relative to one another in a desired position. When the fracture heals, the plate can be removed or left in place, depending on the type of plate that is used. Another type of stabilization technique uses one or more elongated rods extending between components of a bony structure and secured to the bony structure to stabilize the components relative to one another. The components of the bony structure are exposed and one or more bone engaging fasteners are placed into each component. The elongated rod is then secured to the bone engaging fasteners in order to stabilize the components of the bony structure. One problem associated with the above described stabilization structures is that the skin and tissue surrounding the surgical site must be cut, removed, and/or repositioned in order for the surgeon to access the location where the stabilization device is to be installed. This repositioning of tissue causes trauma, damage, and scarring to the tissue. There are also risks that the tissue will become infected and that a long recovery time will be required after surgery for the tissue to heal. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are particularly desirable in, for example, spinal and neurosurgical applications because of the need for access to locations deep within the body and the presence of vital intervening tissues. The development of percutaneous minimally invasive spinal procedures has yielded a major improvement in reducing recovery time and post-operative pain because they require minimal, if any, muscle dissection and can be performed under local anesthesia. These benefits of minimally invasive techniques have also found application in surgeries for other locations in the body where it is desirable to minimize tissue disruption and trauma. There remains a need for further improvements instruments and methods for stabilizing bony structures using minimally invasive techniques. Systems and methods for positioning a connecting element adjacent the spinal column in minimally invasive surgical procedures include an inserter instrument and one or more anchor extensions removably engaged to one or more anchors engageable to the spinal column. The inserter instrument can be engaged to the connecting element and employed to insert the connecting element through tissue of the patient in a minimally invasive surgical procedure to a location adjacent to the one or more anchors with neither the connecting element nor the inserter instrument mechanically engaged with the extensions. Accordingly, the connecting element can be guided to a location proximate the anchors using freehand type techniques aided by image guided navigation, guidance structures, and/or tactile feel to provide cues to the surgeon during insertion. Once the connecting element is located adjacent the anchors, the extensions can be operable to seat the connecting element in the anchors for engagement of the connecting element to the anchors. Related features, aspects, embodiments, objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Any such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated devices, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates. Systems and methods for insertion of a connecting element for connection with anchors engaged to bony parts of the body are provided. In one form, the systems include at least one anchor extension extending from at least one anchor engaged to the bony part of the body. An inserter instrument is engaged to the connecting element and is operable to position the connecting element through tissue of the patient from a location remotely positioned from the at least one anchor and anchor extension to a location adjacent to or within the anchor where the connecting element can be secured to the anchor. The anchor and connecting element can each be positioned into the patient in minimally invasive procedures, minimizing trauma and surgical risks to the patient and promoting rapid post-operative recovery. However, applications in non-minimally invasive surgeries are also contemplated. In another form, the systems and methods include at least one extension extending from an anchor engaged to the spinal column or other anatomical structure in a patient. A connecting element is engaged to an inserter instrument, and the inserter instrument is movable without a mechanical association with the at least one extension to position the connecting element adjacent to a space defined by the extension adjacent to the anchor. The extension is operable to displace the connecting element in the space to seat the connecting element in the anchor for engagement to the anchor. In a further form, the systems and methods include an inserter instrument engageable to a connecting element. The inserter instrument includes a handle portion at a proximal end thereof and the connecting element extends distally from the inserter instrument in a generally parallel relation to the handle portion. In another form, the inserter instrument includes an inserter arm having a proximal handle portion extending therefrom in a first direction and a connecting element extending from a distal end thereof in a second direction opposite the first direction. The inserter arm can be curved between the handle portion and the distal end. The inserter instrument can also include a latch mechanism to releasably secure the connecting element to the distal end of the inserter arm. In another form, the systems and methods include an inserter instrument having a handle portion, a curved inserter arm extending from the handle portion to a distal end, and an elongated, linear connecting element extending from the distal end of the inserter arm. In a further form, the systems and methods include at least one anchor engageable to at least one vertebral body and an extension extending proximally from the at least one anchor to a proximal end of the extension. An inserter instrument includes a connecting element engaged thereto and is operable to position the connecting element through tissue to a location adjacent to the at least one anchor with neither the inserter nor the connecting element mechanically engaged or mechanically associated with the extension as the connecting element is positioned in the body of the patient. In yet another form, the systems and methods include three or more anchors engageable to respective ones of three or more vertebral bodies and extensions extending proximally from respective ones of the anchors to a proximal end of the respective extension. An inserter instrument includes a connecting element engaged thereto and is operable to position the connecting element through tissue and serially between locations adjacent the at least three anchors with neither the inserter instrument nor the connecting element mechanically engaged or mechanically associated with any of the extensions as the connecting element is positioned in the body of the patient. Referring now to Inserter instrument 20 is movable along a percutaneous insertion path that starts at a location remote from the extensions 100 through skin and tissue of the patient to position connecting element 200 in a location adjacent the anchors 300. Inserter instrument 20 is operable to position the connecting element 200 with neither the connecting element 200 nor the inserter instrument 20 mechanically engaged or associated with any of the extensions 100 at least during the initial insertion. Connecting element 200 can be an elongated brace, rod or shaft that is generally linear along its length to facilitate placement between three or more anchors. Other embodiments contemplate that connecting element 200 can be curved along all or a portion of its length. It is also contemplated that connecting element 200 can include any configuration known for a rod, implant, or fastener, so long as connecting element 200 is insertable using inserter instrument 20. Further, connecting element 200 can be non-rigid, elastic and/or super-elastic and in the form of a cable, band, wire, or artificial ligament that is used in tethering, guiding, or other surgical procedures. Connecting element 200 can be percutaneously or non-percutaneously inserted with inserter instrument 20 to a location adjacent connecting element engaging portions of one or more anchors engaged to a bony structure in the body of an animal subject to stabilize the bony structure. In the illustrated embodiment, connecting element 200 is a rigid linear rod that forms an extension of inserter arm 22 of inserter instrument 20 along an axis I defined by connecting element 200. However, it is contemplated that connecting element 200 can have one or more offset portions or a curvature that varies or is compounded along its length. In the illustrated embodiment, inserter instrument 20 includes a handle portion at a proximal end of inserter arm 22 that extends along an axis A. In one embodiment, axis A is generally parallel to axis I, and inserter arm 22 is curved between handle portion 24 and connecting element 200. Connecting element 200 in In In one embodiment, one or more of the extensions 100 a, 100 b, 100 c, 100 d can include a first member for engaging the respective anchor 300 and a second member movable relative to the first member engaged to the anchor to reduce or seat the connecting element for engagement with one or more of the anchors 300. After connecting element 200 is placed in the respective space 102 between the anchor and its respective extension, the one or more anchor extensions 100 with reduction capability can be manipulated so that the second member and the anchor 300 move relative to one another to seat the connecting element 200 relative to the anchor. Engaging members can be delivered through the respective extensions to engage the connecting element 200 to the respective anchors 300. Anchors 300 include a bone engaging portion 302 and a connecting element engaging portion 304. In the illustrated embodiment, bone engaging portion 302 is a bone screw with a threaded shank to engage the bony structure of the underlying vertebra. Connecting element engaging portion 304 can be a receiver having a U-shape formed by a pair of opposing arms defining a longitudinal passage alignable along insertion axis I. The arms further define a proximal/distally extending opening that opens at a proximal end of the arms to receive a set screw (not shown) to secure connecting element 200 in the passage with connecting element 200 extending from the respective anchor 300 along insertion axis I. Bone engaging portion 302 can be pivotally received in or coupled to connecting element engaging portion 304 through a distal opening thereof, and structured to interact therewith to provide anchor 300 with multi-axial capabilities that permits either a selected number of positions or an infinite number of positions of bone engaging portion 302 relative to connecting element engaging portion 304. Other forms for anchors 300 are contemplated, including uni-axial and uni-planar bone screws. The bone engaging portion 302 can be in the form of a spike, staple, fusion device, cannulated screw, fenestrated screw, interbody device, intrabody device, clamp, plate, suture anchor, bolt, pin or other bone engaging member. The connecting element engaging portion 304 can be in the form of a saddle, yoke, eye-bolt or through-hole, side opening member, bottom opening member, top-opening member, eyelet, or any other structure engageable to the connecting element. Referring now further to Inserter arm 22 and handle portion 24 come together at a junction portion 28 formed by a frame of inserter instrument 20. Inserter arm 24 can be tapered in cross-sectional size from proximal end 26 to a narrower distal end 27. Junction portion 28 includes an actuating member 30 pivotally coupled at an upper or proximal side of the frame at junction portion 28 for easy access by the user of inserter instrument 20. Actuating member 30 is coupled to and operates a locking mechanism 34 that extends through inserter arm 22 to remotely secure and release the connecting element 200 to the distal end of inserter arm 22. Actuating member 30 extends from its pivotal connection with the frame at junction 28 toward handle portion 24, and can have an open position shown in Locking mechanism 34 is coupled with actuating member 30 so that movement of actuating member 30 in turn translates into movement of locking mechanism 34. Locking mechanism 34, in the illustrated embodiment, includes a proximal end cap 36 ( Actuating member 30 is further pivotally coupled with inserter 20 at junction 28 with a coupling mechanism 52. Specifically, actuating member 30 provides an over-center type lever or latch that is operable to displace locking mechanism 34 distally and proximally in inserter arm 22. Actuating mechanism 30 includes opposite ears 31 pivotally coupled with one end 54 a of respective link members 54 of coupling mechanism 52. A cross member 33 extends between ears 31 through an opening of the frame at junction portion 28. The other end 54 b of link members 54 are each pivotally coupled with inserter arm 22 adjacent proximal end 26. Accordingly, when actuating member 30 is moved as indicated by arrow 60, end cap 36 and locking mechanism 34 are displaced proximally as indicated by arrow 61 from the position in In the closed position, link members 54 are generally orthogonally oriented to actuating member 30, as shown in As shown in Other configurations for engaging end 40 are also contemplated. For example, engaging end 40 can be provided as a collet with bifurcated wall portions or other radially expandable and contractable structure to grippingly engage connecting element 200 thereto. In a further form, locking mechanism 34 can include a lumen 53 extending along and opening between arms 42, 44 and at the end of end cap 36 to receive a guide wire or other guiding structure. Connecting element 200 can further be provided with a lumen 212 therethrough that forms an axial extension of lumen 53, permitting connecting element 200 and inserter instrument 20 to be guided percutaneously over a guide wire while engaged to one another. Sidewall holes 64 in inserter arm 22 are in communication with the central bore 50 thereof, further facilitating cleaning and sterilization and removal of any biomaterial that may be trapped therein. Referring now to With respect to outer sleeve 101, elongate body 104 includes elongated intermediate slots 108 a, 108 b extending and opening along opposite sides thereof. Slots 108 a, 108 b extend between a proximal end 109 and a distal end 110. Body 104 includes a distal end portion 105 that forms a wall that extends completely therearound in form fitting and sliding engagement with flanged ends 164, 165. Body 104 includes a length extending from distal end portion 105 to an enlarged proximal end portion 112. Proximal end portion 112 includes opposite flat wall surfaces 114 a, 114 b and a release button 116 pivotally housed in proximal end portion 112 in each of the wall surfaces 114 a, 114 b (only one button 116 shown.) Opposite wall surfaces 118 a, 118 b of proximal end portion 112 extend between flat wall surfaces 114 a, 114 b. Proximal end portion 112 further includes an end collar 120 having a reducing actuator 122 rotatably captured thereto. In the illustrated embodiment, reducing actuator 122 includes a bearing hub 124 that extends between reducing actuator 122 and an inner wall surface of end collar 120 to rotatably and axially retain reducing actuator 122 on outer sleeve 101. Accordingly, reducing actuator 122 can be rotated relative to outer sleeve 101 while being axially retained in position thereon. Reducing actuator 122 can extend proximally from end collar 120 for easy access and manipulation during the surgery. Reducing actuator 122 can be rotated manually, or can be configured to engage a tool. For example, in the illustrated embodiment reducing actuator 122 is configured like a nut to receive a correspondingly shaped tool to facilitate application of rotational forces. Other embodiments contemplate other arrangements suitable for manual grasping and/or grasping by a tool. Distal end portion 105 includes distal projecting members 106 a, 106 b extending therefrom on opposite sides of body 104 and between the flanged ends 164, 165 of inner sleeve 150. Body 104 further defines distal slots 128 a, 128 b aligned with respective ones of the intermediate slots 108 a, 108 b and extending therefrom toward the distal end portion 105. Flanged ends 164, 165 extend through distal slots 128 a, 128 b as inner sleeve 150 is moved proximally relative outer sleeve 101, as shown in Anchor extension 100 further includes inner sleeve 150 positioned in a bore extending through outer sleeve 101. Inner sleeve 150, shown removed from outer sleeve 101 in As also shown in Flanged ends 164, 165 each further include a concavely curved inner wall portions 170, 171 that form an enlarged space between fingers 154, 155 extending in a direction that is transversely oriented to fingers 154, 155. Inner wall portions 170, 171 are spaced proximally from internal lips 166, 167 in order to be located proximally of connecting element engaging portion 304 of the anchor 300 when flanged ends 164, 165 are clamped thereto. This enlarged space defined by wall portions 170, 171 can be employed to allow passage of a connecting element through space 102 between fingers 154, 155 even if the connecting element has an enlarged or non-uniform cross-section along a portion of its length. Examples of such connecting elements are discussed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0171540, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Fingers 154, 155 also each include a projecting member 152, 153, respectively, extending therefrom through respective ones of the slots 108 a, 108 b of outer sleeve 101. Projecting members 152, 153 can maintain the inner and outer sleeves 101, 150 in alignment with one another as they are axially moved relative to one other and to resist rotation of inner sleeve 150 relative to outer sleeve 101. As outer sleeve 101 is advanced distally along fingers 154, 155, distal end portion 105 extending about fingers 154, 155 contacts the outer surfaces of flanged ends 164, 165 and biases flanged ends 164, 165 into engagement with anchor 300. The outer surfaces of fingers 154, 155 can project outwardly along intermediate portions 186, 187 between flanged ends 164, 165 and projecting members 152, 153 to provide a larger cross-section adjacent flanged ends 164, 165. When wall portions 140 a, 140 b of outer sleeve 101 are moved from their As also shown in Buttons 116 can be elongated and extend axially along extension 100. Each button 116 can include a proximal end with a first distal projection 117 and a second proximal projection 119, as shown in Buttons 116 can be depressed and rotated against the bias of spring 125 about connection 121 so that the projections 117, 119 cannot interfere with inner sleeve 150, and inner sleeve 150 can be displaced distally relative to outer sleeve 101 to a loading configuration, as shown in From the starting configuration, inner sleeve 150 can be moved proximally relative to outer sleeve 101 so that distal projecting members 106 a, 106 b contact connecting element 200 extending in space 102 transversely to flanged ends 164, 165. Advancement of connecting element 200 into contact with projecting members 106 a, 106 b is accomplished by rotating reducing actuator 122 about threaded end section 178 of inner sleeve 150, as shown in To permit proximal displacement of inner sleeve 150 from its starting configuration without depressing button 116, recesses 182 a, 182 include distally sloped wall portions 183 a, 183 b, as shown in Inner sleeve 150 can include calibrations or other indicators on its outer surface to provide an indication of the configuration of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve. Such indicators can be provided on inner sleeve 150 and visualized through one or both of the proximal slots 130 a, 130 b of outer sleeve 101 to provide visual cues of the configuration of extension 100. For example, one indicator can indicate that the extension 100 is in the loading configuration for engaging anchor 300 to arms 154, 155, as shown in In order to uncouple extension 100 from anchor 300 after seating and securing connecting element 200 in anchor 300, reducing actuator 122 is rotated in the opposite direction to proximally displace outer sleeve 101 along inner sleeve 150 until extension 100 is in its starting configuration. With reducing actuator 122 not engaged to threaded section 178, buttons 116 can then be pressed to disengage inner sleeve 150 and allow outer sleeve 101 to slide freely proximally relative to inner sleeve 150 to the loading configuration of Various surgical techniques can be completed with system 10. One type of surgical technique is directed to spinal surgery for positioning an elongated connecting element along one or more vertebral levels to provide spinal stabilization. A number of anchors 300 are selected according to the number of vertebral levels to be instrumented. For example, a single level procedure may include an anchor engaged to each of two vertebrae, or a two level procedure may include an anchor engaged to each of three vertebrae. When the desired number of levels has been selected, anchors 300 can be engaged to the respective vertebrae. In posterior spinal surgical techniques, the anchors 300 can be screws engaged in the pedicles of the vertebrae. Anchors 300 can be positioned into the patient through one or more minimally invasive access portals, formed by an incision, cannula, or retractor system, for example. Extensions 100 can be clamped to the anchors after the anchors are engaged to the vertebrae. Alternatively, the anchors can be clamped to the extensions, and then delivered through the access portal or portals for engagement with the respective vertebrae. Placement of the anchors can be facilitated using a guide wire, image guided surgery system, fluoroscopic imaging, computer assisted surgical navigation, X-rays, CT scans, endoscopic viewing systems, microscopic viewing systems, loupes, and/or naked eye visualization, for example. With the anchors 300 engaged to the vertebrae and with extensions 100 extending therefrom, extensions 100 have a length sufficient to extend from the patient so that their proximal ends are accessible for grasping and pivoting or application of forces to facilitate alignment of the connecting element engaging portions 304 of the anchors 300. For example, distraction, compression or torsional forces can be provided to one or more of the extensions 100 to provide a desired effect to the vertebrae either before of after placement of the connecting element between the anchors. The connecting element 200 can enter the patient percutaneously or through a retracted opening from an entry location remote from the extensions. The connecting element is guided by the surgeon through the tissue to a location adjacent the nearest anchor 300 and anchor extension 100 and into the space 102 defined thereby. The connecting element can then be serially advanced through the other spaces 102 defined by the other anchors 300 and extensions 100. Placement of the connecting element 200 can be facilitated using a guide wire, image guided surgery system, fluoroscopic imaging, computer assisted surgical navigation, X-rays, CT scans, endoscopic viewing systems, microscopic viewing systems, loupes, and/or naked eye visualization, for example. One or more sensors can be provided in or on the connecting element 200 to assist in tracking its location in the patient. For example, a magnetic tracking coil could be mounted on a wire and placed in a cannulation of the connecting element near its distal leading end. Electromagnetic surgical navigation of placement of the connecting element into the patient's body can then be carried out. In addition, tactile cues can be provided to the surgeon assist placement in the space between the extension and anchor if and when the connecting element contacts the anchor or extension. Prior to placement of connecting element 200, a trocar can be engaged to inserter instrument 20 and moved into the patient from a location outside the patient, through skin and/or tissue of the patient, and to at least one of the anchors 300. Inserter instrument 20 can be withdrawn in the reverse direction to withdraw the trocar. The trocar can then be removed from inserter instrument 20, and connecting element 200 engaged to inserter instrument 20 to move it along the insertion path formed in the patient by the trocar until the connecting element extends between anchors 300. It is further contemplated that the leading end of connecting element 200 can be tapered or pointed to facilitate puncture and/or tunneling through the skin and tissue of the patient, either to form a path or to be inserted along a path formed by a trocar. Placement of the trocar and/or connecting element 200 can be monitored and/or confirmed using any of the visualization techniques discussed above. Connecting element 200 can be remotely disengaged from inserter instrument 20 by manipulating actuating member 30 to release engaging end 40 of locking mechanism 34 from connecting element 200. Inserter instrument 20 can then be withdrawn from the patient by pulling it with handle portion 24 in the reverse direction along the insertion path. Set screws or other engaging members can be delivered through extensions 100 with a driving instrument, and engaged with respective ones of the anchors 300 to secure connecting element 200 to anchors 300. Extensions 100 can then be unclamped from the respective anchors 300 by depressing buttons 116 and allowing the outer sleeve to slide proximally relative to inner sleeve, releasing arms from engagement with connecting element engaging portion 34 of anchor 300. Should any of the extensions 100 be employed for reduction of the connecting element into the anchors, the corresponding extensions are first moved from the seating configuration to the starting configuration before unlocking with buttons 116. One or more other connecting elements can be similarly engaged to the spinal column along the same vertebral level or levels, or along other vertebral levels. Other procedures can also be completed in conjunction with the stabilization procedure, including discectomy, interbody fusion, artificial disc replacement, bone removal, tissue removal, intravertebral reduction, joint replacement, annular repair, and/or any other spinal surgical procedures. While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

July 22 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
Here are 10 things you should know for Tuesday, July 22:
1. -- U.S. stock futures were rising Tuesday ahead of data on inflation and housing and a bevy of corporate earnings reports.
European stocks rebounded, as EU foreign ministers gathered in Brussels to discuss whether to increase sanctions against Russia and as investors took heart from bullish corporate earnings. Asian indices also rose.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Tuesday includes the Consumer Price Index for June at 8:30 a.m. EDT, the FHFA Housing Price Index for May at 8:30 a.m., and existing home sales for June at 10 a.m.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Monday closed lower but recovered from deep losses suffered over the morning session, a product of geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.28% to 17,051. The S&P 500 declined 0.23% to 1,973.63. The Nasdaq slipped 0.17% to 4,424.7. TheStreet's Jon Marino has Tuesday's Global Markets Report:
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV 4. -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) is expected by Wall Street to report on Tuesday fiscal third-quarter earnings of $1.23 a share on revenue of $37.99 billion.
Investors will be watching Apple to see whether iPhone sales remain strong ahead of what could be Apple's biggest product ever, a larger iPhone coming in the fall.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Apple is asking suppliers to manufacture between 70 million and 80 million units combined of two large-screen iPhones with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays by Dec. 30.
Apple shipped shipped 43.7 million iPhones in the second quarter ended March 30. The tech giant earned $11.62 a share in the quarter on sales of $45.6 billion. 5. -- Netflix (NFLX - Get Report) said second-quarter earnings more than doubled as new episodes from a hit series helped the online streaming company surpass 50 million worldwide subscribers for the first time. The gains include an additional 570,000 U.S. subscribers, slightly more than the company predicted. The quarter is typically the company's slowest of the year, as people spend more time outdoors instead of watching video. The second quarter featured Netflix's "Orange Is The New Black," which returned for its second season in early June. As with the company's other original series, all 13 episodes of "Orange Is The New Black," were released simultaneously so subscribers could watch the story when they wanted.
Netflix posted a second-quarter profit of $1.15 a share, a penny above analysts' expectations. Revenue rose 25% to $1.3 billion, matching estimates. 6. -- Microsoft (MSFT) is expected by analysts to post earnings of 60 cents a share in its fiscal fourth quarter on revenue of $23 billion.
The company reported earnings of 68 cents a share on revenue of $20.4 billion in the third quarter. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella could face tough questions from investors on Tuesday, as he promised to provide more details of his plans for the software giant. Nadella's recent announcement of 12,000 job cuts mollified investors for the short term and sent shares of Microsoft to a 14-year high last week, but questions remain about his long-term vision for the company's future.
7. -- A meat scandal in China engulfed Starbucks (SBUX) and Burger King (BKW) on Tuesday and spread to Japan where McDonald's (MCD) said the Chinese supplier accused of selling expired beef and chicken had provided 20% of the meat for its chicken nuggets. Chinese authorities expanded their investigation of the meat supplier, Shanghai company Husi Food. The scandal surrounding Husi Food, which is owned by OSI Group of Aurora, Ill., has added to a string of safety scares in China over milk, medicines and other goods that have left the public wary of dairies, restaurants and other suppliers. Starbucks said on Tuesday that it removed from its shelves sandwiches made with chicken that originated at Husi. Burger King said it stopped using hamburger it received from a supplier that used product from Husi. Pizza restaurant chain Papa John's International (PZZA) announced it stopped using meat from Husi.
8. -- Yahoo! (YHOO) reached a deal to buy Flurry, a startup that helps other programmers build better mobile applications and craft marketing campaigns for smartphones and tablets. Yahoo! didn't disclose how much it's paying for Flurry but published reports put the price tag at around $200 million. 9. -- Verizon (VZ) posted on Tuesday second-quarter adjusted earnings of 91 cents a share on revenue of $31.48 billion.
Analysts were expecting earnings of 90 cents a share on revenue of $31.12 billion. 10. -- McDonald's (MCD) is predicted by analysts to have earned $1.44 a share in the second quarter on revenue of $7.29 billion. eBay Is Smartly Treating StubHub Like Uber

Cocky Burglar Has Gun Put To His Head By Naked Man: "If You Move, I Will Shoot You."
Clinton Keller was one cocky burglar. Not only did he break into an occupied home in the middle of the night, he made multiple trips in and out of the house. It seems he was stockpiling the items he was most interested in on the front lawn. Unfortunately for Keller, he made a little bit too much noise entering the master bedroom and woke up Eric Martin, who was in bed with his wife.
Martin, who was buck naked, grabbed his gun and took off after the burglar. When he saw Keller, he chased him out the front door, tackled him, put the gun to his head and said, "Stay on the ground, don't move, because if you do move, I will shoot you."
Martin added, "Do you know what I have pointed at you? …I've got a .9mm pointed at you with high-velocity hollow points in the chamber. …He tried to get up once, and I explained again that this was the last time I was going to have this conversation with him, and he stayed on the ground at that point."
When the police arrived, they found Martin as naked as the day he was born, holding a gun on Keller, who was booked on charges of residential burglary and theft. If Keller didn't know that crime doesn't pay before, being roughed up by a naked man who put a gun to his head should teach him that lesson the hard way.

+This portable app is easy to use and keeps your files safe from others. My Personal Hidden Folder doesn't require installation, making it easy to take with you. Anyone who can use Windows Explorer will be able to master this program in minutes.
At first run you're asked to set up a master password. The tiny interface looks just like a combination lock and has only a few options to enter your password, unlock and unlock your folders, and minimize the program to the system tray. Three folders appear when you enter your password. My Personal Documents, My Personal Pictures, and My Personal Videos all make it easy to drop in files just like you would with any folder. The system tray icon shows an unopened lock and flashes green to let you know your folders are unlocked. The icon disappears when your folders are locked. Unlocked, you can see the My Personal Folder in the Windows directory. Set the app to locked and the folder name changes to Printers and can't be accessed.
It's simple to use and light on system resources. We recommend My Personal Hidden Folder for any user who wants an easy but effective way to keep documents and other files safe from prying eyes.

A few days have passed. Spring seemed to be easier to live through now for Feliciano. He was sitting in a tree, listening to the birds chirping. Ludwig and Gilbert were at work so he was home alone.
He let out a yawn and crawled down the tree. His ears twitched when he heard the front door open. He ran in the house and into the living room. When he saw Ludwig he ran over and hugged.
"Welcome home Ludwig!" Feliciano said cheerfully. Ludwig smiled and petted him, earning a loud purr. He walked to the kitchen and Feliciano followed him. Feliciano watched as Ludwig prepared dinner.
A few minutes had passed when the front door opened again.
"I'm home," Gilbert called. He walked into the kitchen and looked at Feliciano. He smiled and ruffled his hair.
"How are you feeling Feliciano? Is Spring still bothering you?" he asked. Feliciano shook his head.
"Nope! I feel fine!" Feliciano said cheerfully. Gilbert laughed.
"That's good, though you were quite fun to mess with."
"You're so mean," Feliciano said as he looked at Ludwig. Ludwig smiled at him, which Feliciano returned.
Feliciano was leaning on the windowsill. The wind felt so nice. It had become a habit to feel the wind before he went to bed. Ludwig walked over and hugged him. Feliciano smiled.
"Hey Ludwig?"
Feliciano looked up at him with his bright, amber eyes. "We'll be together until the end right?"
Ludwig smiled and kissed his forehead, "Of course Feliciano. I would never dream of leaving you."
Feliciano got on his tiptoes and kissed Ludwig.
"I love you Ludwig," he said as he hugged Ludwig tightly.
"I love you too, Feliciano."
