Zac Brown Band, "Uncaged" (Atlantic/Home Grown/Bigger Picture). On its third major-label outing, one of country music's most variable and exploratory acts work with Jason Mraz, Amos Lee and Trombone Shorty on songs conceived to fit together holistically.
Chatham County Line, "Sight & Sound" (Yep Roc). String band from North Carolina delivers one audio disc and one DVD straight from its rollicking stage shows.
Martin Creed, "Love to You" (Moshi Moshi). Winner of the UK's Turner Prize steps into his musical side with unconventional but strangely tuneful album.
Delicate Steve, "Positive Force" (Luaka Bop). On his second outing as the "Delicate" kind, Steve Marion engineers, mixes and plays everything here, and "everything" takes in a lot of unpredictably eclectic turns and dexterous guitar lines.
Dirty Projectors, "Swing Low Magellan" (Domino). Sixth album from Brooklyn indie collective led by David Longstreth is at once intellectual and catchy. (The Dirty Projectors play the Pabst Theater on Sept. 30.)
The Early November, "In Currents" (Rise). New Jersey rock band that dissolved not long after a three-disc 2006 sophomore release comes back with more concise and considered set.
Holograms, "Holograms" (Captured Tracks). Scrappers from Sweden issue a debut album that digs out the darkest parts of New Wave and punk.
Marina and the Diamonds, "Electra Heart" (679 Recordings/Warner). Gutsy Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis drops a second album that could either be a postmodern commentary on female-fronted pop music or, with producers like Dr. Luke, a spikier, smarter version of what Ke$ha and Lady Gaga are doing.
Mission of Burma, "Unsound" (Fire). Ten years after reuniting and more than 30 years after originally forming, Boston band keeps finding gold in the dirt of its postpunk nerves.
Reverend Horton Heat, "25 to Life" (Yep Roc). On its quarter-century anniversary, the rockabilly-renewal act led by Jim Heath celebrates with a live disc, documentary and compilation of favorite studio tracks on an outside-the-box boxed set.
Suit of Lights, "Shine on Forever" (Visiting Hours). Although many musicians have worked within Suit of Lights, the latest disc under the name is still driven by singer-songwriter Joe Darone and his indie and punk influences.
Serj Tankian, "Harakiri" (Serjical Strike/Reprise). System of a Down has kept its fans waiting for new material since 2005, but frontman Serj Tankian will not only be touring with the band this summer but will have this rock-heavy third solo album to tempt the fans with possibilities.
Twin Shadow, "Confess" (Terrible/4AD). From the Dominican Republic to Florida to Brooklyn, George Lewis Jr. is a peripatetic type whose music modernizes a 1980s fetish on his second record under the Twin Shadow moniker.
Hank Williams Jr., "Old School, New Rules" (Bocephus/Blaster). The latest from country's most famous and infamous son sports two duets: "I'm Gonna Get Drunk and Play Hank Williams" with Brad Paisley and "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" with Merle Haggard. There are other songs, but what more do you need?

Court next week for NYer in disappearance caseMINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A hearing is planned next week for a New Yorker charged with helping his father try to fake his own death in an alleged insurance scam. Jonathan Roth was arrested Monday on charges including conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. He initially was due in court Thursday. His attorney, Joey Jackson, says the case has been adjourned until Tuesday. Jackson declined to discuss the allegations. Investigators say Roth falsely reported that his father disappeared July 28 at Jones Beach. He has pleaded not guilty. Authorities believe Raymond Roth first fled to Florida. He was later seen in South Carolina. An attorney says the elder Roth is receiving psychiatric treatment at a Long Island hospital. He expects him to eventually be arrested. Police say the search cost tens of thousands. |

PSivida Corp. Announces Interim Data From Investigator-Sponsored Uveitis Study
pSivida Corp. (NASDAQ:PSDV), a specialty pharmaceutical company that is a leader in developing sustained release drugs for the treatment of back-of-the-eye diseases, today announced interim data from an investigator-sponsored Phase I/II study of pSivida's injectable micro-insert in patients with posterior uveitis. The same micro-insert is being marketed in the EU as ILUVIEN® for the treatment of chronic Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies by pSivida's collaborative partner, Alimera Sciences. The uveitis application is being independently developed by pSivida.
Through the first 12 months of enrollment in this study, none of the treated eyes had a recurrence of uveitis, and inflammation had been reduced in all treated eyes. By contrast, fellow (untreated) eyes showed either recurrence of uveitis or worsening or no improvement in inflammation. At the last follow-up visit, best corrected visual acuity (on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study eye chart) had improved by an average of more than nine letters in treated eyes and had declined by an average of one letter in fellow eyes.
The interim data showed that the micro-inserts were well-tolerated and the observed safety profile was consistent with the short-term safety profile reported in clinical studies of ILUVIEN in DME subjects. With one exception, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements of treated eyes had all remained in the normal range. One treated eye, which at baseline had a history of elevated IOP, required surgery to control pressure.
"We are very happy with this early data," said Paul Ashton, Ph.D., President and CEO of pSivida Corp. "They are consistent with our hypothesis that our micro-insert will treat chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the back of the eye with an efficacy profile that is comparable to Retisert, a current FDA- approved implant for uveitis developed by pSivida, and a side effect profile that is superior to Retisert and comparable to ILUVIEN in DME," said Dr. Ashton.

Pinnacle Bank Announces 2012 Results
PBNK.OB - Pinnacle Bank, headquartered in Gilroy, California, announced today net income for 2012 was $190,000 compared to $551,000 in 2011. The 2012 provision for loan losses was $1,438,000, an increase of $1,205,000 from $233,000 in 2011. Pre-provision, pre-tax earnings of $1,655,000 for 2012 compared to $784,000 in 2011.
As of December 31, 2012, total assets were $170.2 million, a 10% increase from the $154.9 million at December 31, 2011.
Loans were $138.0 million at December 31, 2012, a 5% increase or $6.2 million from the December 31, 2011, balance of $131.8 million. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012, was $3.6 million or 2.6% of loans compared to $2.8 million or 2.1% at December 31, 2011.
Non-interest bearing deposits at December 31, 2012, increased 37% to $49.0 million from $35.7 million at December 31, 2011. Total deposits at December 31, 2012, were $152.5 million compared to $137.7 million at December 31, 2011, an 11% increase.
"We had a very strong year in 2012 with double digit asset growth and revenue at an all time high. We are also proactively and aggressively addressing a small number of loans made early in the Bank's history which were adversely impacted by the recession. Reducing the carrying values of these loans led to the increase in the provision for loan losses," stated Susan K. Black, President and CEO. "Despite the impact on earnings, we believe these writedowns strengthen our balance sheet and provide a solid footing for 2013. In addition, substantial recoveries are possible." "We are pleased by growth in loans and deposits during 2012 as we execute our strategy of increasing franchise value by careful controlled growth. We are particularly pleased with the growth in core business banking relationships as reflected by the 37% growth in non-interest bearing deposits," added Ms. Black. "Despite margin compression and competitive pressures, we are building a solid franchise and remain optimistic about future opportunities."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In space, no one can hear you yawn.
More than 30 years ago, director Ridley Scott mixed technology and slime, sweat and acid-for-blood to create "Alien," a gothic sci-fi adventure that may well have ended manned space flight among moviegoers.
At once creepy and pulse-pounding, epic and claustrophobic, "Alien" took horror into new space and begat a string of sequels, one of which was good. Now, Scott has returned with "Prometheus," a prequel of sorts.
Scott's visual flourish has not deserted him. From other worldly settings in Iceland to production designer Arthur Max's spaceships and alien labyrinths, "Prometheus" continually offers arresting vistas and details, even in CGI.
The cast looks good too, with sleek leads Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender offering both templates for a cuter humanity and smart, nuanced performances that elevate the material. That's not to mention Idris Elba and Charlize Theron, though Guy Pearce, alas, appears as the Thousand Year Old Man.
Even the opening sequences promise another unusual journey. Speeding across a pristine landscape and climbing up a Niagara-like cataract, director of photography Dariusz Wolski's camera finds a cloaked figure. It is a monumental gray extraterrestrial, who doffs his clothes, swallows a pulsating gel and explosively dissolves into the waters.
Some time later, scientifically inclined couple Charlie Holloway Logan Marshall-Green and Elizabeth Shaw — no, not Dr. Who's Liz Shaw, but girl-with-dragon-tattoo Rapace — find yet another in a series of cave paintings, with a large gray hominid pointing toward a star map.
"I think they want us to come find them," Shaw says with a winsome smile.
Perhaps not.
The movie's strengths and flaws become self-evident soon thereafter. Playing the not-quite-human named David, Fassbender wanders an otherwise sleeping spaceship, monitoring the dreams of his traveling companions, watching "Lawrence of Arabia," practicing languages. Every moment suggests, "2001," "A.I.," "Silent Running," "Solaris," as well as Fassbender's audition to play T.E. Lawrence in the remake.
Some of these may be acknowledged as clever nods to the sci-fi audience, but the effect is a constant reminder of the movies one could be watching instead. That's even more pronounced when the spaceship Prometheus arrives at the distant moon that is its destination, the human crew awakes and serves up a steady diet of references to earlier alien movies.
There's the soulless corporate profiteer, the unruly grunts (who in this case are scientists without the big grants), the tough but jovial black commander, the android of uncertain allegiance, and the giant corporation whose priorities do not include the optimum health of employees.
The script by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof piles on more baggage in the form of Shaw's religious beliefs, presented as forcefully and clumsily as an airport Hare Krishna circle, and a just-for-the-heck-of-it billionaire seeking immortality subplot. When Holloway and Shaw reveal the reason for their deep-space voyage to the crew, she explains the evidence why the moon is the home of humanity's creators.
"Because I choose to believe it."
Unless, you're the Pope, that's the moment to turn around, program the ship for the return voyage, and climb back into your cryo-chamber for a nice sleep. But even this Chariots of the Yobs philosophizing does not sink "Prometheus." The initial exploration of the planet below revives interest, and again, the scenery is impressive.
But with all the spaceballs it already has in the air, "Prometheus" now tries to work in more references that set up the original "Aliens," a smart creature-feature that stood on its own, as well as its subsequent iterations. For some reason, Ridley Scott thinks he has a lot of 'splaining to do.
In the tradition of the Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, to say nothing of Lisbeth Salander, Rapace's Dr. Shaw makes for a rousing heroine, one who takes a licking but keeps on ticking. I would certainly pay money to see Noomi Rapace again, but preferably in more down-to-earth circumstances.
Dr. Shaw is stumbling through an overly complicated story. Like her character, "Prometheus" has trouble staying out of its own way. It has speculative philosophical elements, cosmic exploration elements, personal development elements, and business conspiracy elements. But even when "Prometheus" adds fire, the mixture of elements remains strangely inert. Despite its potential, it meekly goes where many, many movies have already been and gone.

About Admiral George Elphinstone, 1st Viscount Keith
George Keith Elphinstone, 1st Viscount Keith (7 January 1746 – 10 March 1823) was a British admiral active throughout the Napoleonic Wars.
Fifth son of the 10th Lord Elphinstone, he was born in Elphinstone Tower, near Stirling, Scotland. Two of his brothers went to sea, and he followed their example by entering the Royal Navy in 1761, in HMS Royal Sovereign but then transferred to HMS Gosport, then commanded by Captain John Jervis, afterwards Earl Saint Vincent. In 1767, he made a voyage to the East Indies in the British East India Company's service, and put £2000 lent him by an uncle to such good purpose in a private trading venture that he laid the foundation of a handsome fortune. He became lieutenant in 1770, commander in 1772, and post captain in 1775.
During the war in America he was employed against the privateers, and with a naval brigade at the occupation of Charleston, South Carolina. In January 1781, when in command of the 50-gun HMS Warwick, he captured a Dutch 50-gun ship which had beaten off a British vessel of equal strength a few days before. After peace was signed he remained on shore for ten years, serving in Parliament as member first for Dunbartonshire, and then for Stirlingshire.
When war broke out again in 1793, he was appointed to the 74-gun HMS Robust, in which he took part in the occupation of Toulon by Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood. He particularly distinguished himself by beating a body of the French ashore at the head of a naval brigade of British and Spaniards. He was entrusted with the duty of embarking the fugitives when the town was evacuated. In 1794 he was promoted rear-admiral, and in 1795 he was sent to occupy the Dutch colonies at the Cape of Good Hope and in India. He had a large share in the capture of the Cape in 1795, and in August 1796 captured a whole Dutch squadron in Saldanha Bay. In the interval he had gone on to India, where his health suffered, and the capture at Saldanha was effected on his way home. When the Nore Mutiny broke out in 1797 he was appointed to the command, and was soon able to restore order. He was equally successful at Plymouth, where the squadron was also in a state of effervescence.
At the close of 1798, he was sent as second in command to St Vincent. It was for a long time a thankless post, for St Vincent was at once half incapacitated by ill-health and very arbitrary, while Horatio Nelson, who considered that Keith's appointment was a personal slight to himself, was peevish and insubordinate. In May 1799, he was unable to counter Bruix' expedition, mainly due to jarrings among the British naval commanders. Keith followed the enemy to Brest on their retreat, but was unable to bring them to action.
He returned to the Mediterranean in November as commander-in-chief. He co-operated with the Austrians in the siege of Genoa, which surrendered on the 4th of June 1800. It was however immediately afterwards lost in consequence of the Battle of Marengo, and the French made their re-entry so rapidly that the admiral had considerable difficulty in getting his ships out of the harbour. The close of 1801 and the beginning of the following year were spent in transporting the army sent to recover Egypt from the French. As the naval force of the enemy was completely driven into port, the British admiral had no opportunity of an action at sea, but his management of the convoy carrying the troops, and of the landing at Aboukir, was greatly admired.
He was made Baron Keith of the United Kingdom, an Irish barony having been conferred on him in 1797. On the renewal of the war in 1803 he was appointed commander-in-chief in the North Sea,[2] which post he held till 1807. In February 1812 he was appointed commander-in-chief in the English Channel, and in 1814 he was raised to a viscounty. During his last two commands he was engaged first in overlooking the measures taken to meet a threatened invasion, and then in directing the movements of the numerous small squadrons and private ships employed on the coasts of Spain and Portugal, and in protecting trade.
He was at Plymouth when Napoleon surrendered and was brought to England in HMS Bellerophon by Captain Maitland (1777–1839). The decisions of the British government were expressed through him to the fallen Emperor. Lord Keith refused to be led into disputes, and confined himself to declaring steadily that he had his orders to obey. He was not much impressed by the appearance of his illustrious charge and thought that the airs of Napoleon and his suite were ridiculous. Lord Keith died in 1823 at Tulliallan Castle, near Kincardine-on-Forth, Fife, his property in Scotland, and was buried in the parish church.
Family life
A portrait of him by Owen is in the Painted Hall in Greenwich. He was twice married: in 1787 to Jane Mercer, daughter of Colonel William Mercer of Aldie; and in 1808 to Hester Thrale, daughter of Henry Thrale and Hester Thrale, who is spoken of as 'Queeney' in Boswell's Life of Johnson and Mme d'Arblay's Diary. He had a daughter by each marriage, the second being Georgina Augusta Henrietta Keith, but no son. Thus the viscounty became extinct on his death, but the British and Irish baronies descended to his elder daughter Margaret (1788–1867), who married the Comte de Flahault de la Billarderie, only to become extinct on her death.
In fiction
In Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series Lord Keith and his wife 'Queeney' appear in several of the best-selling novels.
There is a panegyrical Life of Lord Keith by Alex. Allardyce (Edinburgh, 1882); and biographical notices will be found in John Marshall's Royal Naval Biography, i. 43 (1823–1835), and the Naval Chronicle, x. I. (D. H.).

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by editors of HealthDay:
U.S. Restaurant Chains Stop Serving Some Tomatoes
McDonald's, Burger King and a number of other restaurant chains announced Monday that they were suspending the use of certain fresh tomatoes until they learn the source of a recent nationwide salmonella outbreak.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers nationwide over the weekend not to eat raw red Roma, raw red plum, and raw red round tomatoes while the agency investigates the source of 145 recent cases of "Saintpaul" salmonella in 16 states that appear linked to uncooked tomatoes, the Associated Press reported.
At least 23 people have been hospitalized since April. The FDA says it doesn't know the exact source of the salmonella outbreak. But it has said that cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and tomatoes sold with the vine attached are believed safe to eat.
McDonald's said it stopped serving tomatoes on all of its sandwiches in the United States, while Burger King said it halted use of raw tomatoes at most of its domestic locations, except for certain restaurants in California that are serviced by growers known to be safe, the AP said.
In addition, the Chipotle Mexican Grill chain said it would stop serving its tomato salsa, and Texas Roadhouse locations and Cracker Barrel Old Country stores said they also would stop dispensing tomatoes with salads and other foods.
Regional grocer Winn-Dixie said it would remove affected tomatoes from its more than 500 stores in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi, the AP said.
Kennedy Leaves Hospital After Brain Surgery
One week after he underwent surgery for brain cancer, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was released Monday from Duke University Medical Center and returned to his home in Hyannisport on Cape Cod, the Associated Press reported.
"It's good to be home, good to be here," the wire service quoted him as saying.
Last month, Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma brain tumor after he suffered a seizure. Last Monday, he had a 3.5-hour operation to remove as much of the tumor as possible to improve the success of chemotherapy and radiation treatment that he will undergo.
About 9,000 Americans have malignant gliomas diagnosed each year, the AP said. It's among the worst types of brain cancer.
U.S. Supreme Court Takes Third Look at Judgment Against Cigarette Maker
The U.S. Supreme Court will review a $79.5 million punitive judgment against Marlboro-maker Philip Morris for a third time, the Associated Press reported Monday.
On two previous occasions, the Supreme Court has struck down the award to the family of a Portland, Ore. man who died of lung cancer in 1997 after smoking Marlboro cigarettes since the 1950s.
But Oregon courts have repeatedly upheld the judgment against cigarette maker Philip Morris USA.

Features: The Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii)is easily identified by its characteristic bright yellow throat and jaw. It has a smooth, domed shell that has been said to resemble a military helmet. This medium-sized turtle inhabits a network of lakes, streams, and wetlands, preferring shallow wetland areas with abundant vegetation. It can also spend significant portions of time in upland areas moving between wetlands. In a single season this highly mobile turtle has been known to travel up to seven km in search of food or a mate.
Status: Threatened Provincially and Nationally
Range: The core of the Blanding's Turtle range occurs in the southern Great Lakes region from Nebraska in the west, Illinois in the south, and Ontario in the east. Additional isolated populations can be found in Quebec, Nova Scotia and near the east coast of the United States. In Ontario it can be found throughout the southern and central portions of the province except along the Bruce Peninsula and the far southeast.
Threats: Nesting success of the Blanding's Turtle is greatly reduced as a result of predation by raccoons and skunks, parasitism from sarcophagid fly larvae, and cool summer temperatures that result in fewer hatchlings. Other threats to this species include road mortality, habitat destruction and collection for the pet trade. As it can take 25 years for these turtles to reach reproductive maturity, the removal of even a few adults from the population can have significant impacts.
Protection: Under Ontario's Endangered Species Act 2007, the Blanding's Turtle is protected from any actions that may cause further harm to the species. It is also protected under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. The Provincial Policy Statement under the Planning Act provides protection to significant habitat of threatened species. Several populations of this species occur within provincial or national parks. A recovery strategy for all Ontario turtle species at risk is currently being developed.

The General Services Administration's next-generation telecommunications strategy is moving ahead, driven by an emerging contracting vehicle and a vision for how telecom services will evolve over the next 15 years, said one of the agency's top technology acquisition officers.
In an April 30 blog post, Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of GSA's Office of Integrated Technology Services, provided some insight into plans for the agency's Network Services 2020 telecom strategy, including the status of some of the plan's components.
Networx, GSA's current governmentwide telecom contracting vehicle, is set to expire in 2017. The agency, federal government and industry stakeholders have been crafting a more flexible and comprehensive way to address advancing telecom services. The NS2020 strategy is designed to enable GSA to meet a broad range of IT and telecom requirements through 2028.
Davie said the agency's aim for NS2020 is to evolve GSA's contracting capabilities as commercial and federal telecom markets move beyond hardware-based networks, owned legacy infrastructure and even cloud computing and mobile services toward more open and innovative services and technologies.
"Now we're seeing moves by others than the traditional telecommunications providers into the space, creating even greater changes in the market," she wrote. "This includes leveraging broadband wireless technology for data connectivity and voice service, relying solely on IP data connections for voice and text, and potentially using solar-powered drone technology in place of some traditional satellite capabilities to provide basic Internet access much cheaper to many more people."
GSA's request for information (RFI) for NS2020 Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions, released April 8, will become the cornerstone of the strategy to provide telecom services for federal users. Davie said a draft request for proposals will be issued in fiscal 2015. With the release of the NS2020 strategy and the RFI, Davie said her agency is moving toward that more complex and competitive future. The strategy was constructed after an analysis resulted in a portfolio of IT and telecom-related offerings and services that could shape new contracts and solutions to replace the Networx program and other vehicles, she said.
In December 2013, GSA released an NS2020-related RFI for consolidated Northeast Infrastructure Solutions as part of an interim strategy to create three acquisition regions -- Northeast, Central and Western -- that would consolidate the current 11 regional contracts. Davie said officials plan to release RFIs for the other two regions this year.
The consolidation will give GSA, vendors and customer agencies an interim strategy -- driven in part by expiring contract vehicles -- to cover gaps in regional coverage, she added. It will also allow the agency to implement and validate some NS2020 concepts ahead of the larger integration.

On request from the Chennai Police, colleges in and around the city are busy compiling contact details of their outstation students who do not stay in college hostels.
Police sources say this information is only for ready reference during an emergency. College heads said while last year the police had merely asked them to collect information, this time they are insistent that the data should be given to them.
Some city colleges have been asked to submit the data in a month, while those in the suburbs have been given more time.
"We are used to it. Even during functions with the Governor or a Minister, the police insist that we provide information about all student volunteers in charge of welcoming the chief guest," said a senior professor of a city college.
Recently, the city police began issuing tenant information forms to house owners for creating a database on tenants.
Arjun Verma from Bihar, a student of Bharath University, Selaiyur, said he had been asked to provide his photograph and details about his parents, phone numbers and accommodation attested by his house owner. N. Sethuraman, Registrar, SRM University, said, "At least 2,000 of our students live outside the college campus. We want to be ready with the data to cooperate with the police whenever the need arises."
Request from HRD Ministry
Police officials claim the request to compile the database has come from the Human Resources Development Ministry, which last year had sent a letter to the State Education Department asking officials to prepare a list of students hailing from other States.

I cannot say that is the only circumstance that it happens, or that it will happen every time that autoconf is run, but yes, , this seems to happen to the shared libraries, with shadow-4.0.3 at least.

First CNG-Capable 2014 Ford F-150 Rolls Off The Line In Kansas City
AT&T is one of many Ford fleet customers that are finding value in CNG. The communications giant recently purchased 650 F-350 chassis cabs with the CNG-prep option.
"We're almost halfway to our company-wide goal of deploying 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles by the end of 2018," said Jerome Webber, AT&T vice president, global fleet operations. "Vehicles such as CNG F-350s from Ford have helped us avoid purchasing 7.7 million gallons of gasoline over the past five years while reducing our fleet's emissions."
Ford Qualified Vehicle ModifiersFord has established a rigorous qualification program for alternative-fuel vehicle modifiers. The QVM program is intended to help modifiers achieve greater levels of customer satisfaction and product acceptance through the manufacture of high-quality vehicles.
Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifiers offer a wide variety of CNG/LPG options to help customers find the most cost-effective solution to their diverse operating needs. Ford maintains the engine and powertrain limited warranty (five years or 60,000 miles); the modifier is responsible for the system component warranty.
Compressed natural gasCompressed natural gas is mainly composed of methane. It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of approximately 3,600 psi. About 85 percent of the CNG used in the United States is produced domestically. Another benefit of this alternative fuel includes cleaner emissions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certifies CNG usage can result in up to 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions.About Ford Motor Company Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), a global automotive industry leader based in Dearborn, Mich., manufactures or distributes automobiles across six continents.

Loading... The Forest of Hands and Teethby Carrie Ryan
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I didn't know from the cover that this was a Zombie book - I probably wouldn't have picked it up if I had. I don't regret it though - the story moves quickly and is packed with emotion. I won't continue the series, but not as a reflection of the writing, I just don't care for Zombies. I could not put this book down, it was so interesting and such a page turner. Mary, the main character is a very interesting type of person, strong, brave, caring, thoughtful, and yet, I feel like she is too hard on herself. Maybe since the characters in the story have grown up with such a strong religious background, is the reason she experiences such a strong sense of guilt over wanting things, or just having hope, which to me is so sad. I think her thoughts are only human and it's scary how she stood out to so many as being unique and different. But, I love that she stays steadfast and keeps believing in her instincts, and doesn't let that guilt that she and others give her, take over. This is my fourth dystopian YA novel that I have ever read, the other three being the Hunger Games books. I became very wrapped up into this story, even more so than the Hunger Games. I would stop reading, and still feel a little tension/nerves, wondering what's going to happen next? When will this girl catch a break? I worried more about her, despite how strongwilled she is, and hard her life even before the breach was, she's lived through so much, but I still hadn't really pegged her as a survivor till half way through. This book was very powerful, well written, and I'm looking forward to reading more by Carrie Ryan. I'd heard a lot of good things about this book, and had been looking for it at the library for AGES, so when I finally spotted it on the reshelving trolley I grabbed it! A zombie novel whose synopsis reminded me a bit of The Village - human enclave, very insular and ordered, evil things trying to breach the fences - this sadly turned out to be a tad disappointing. The actual zombie mythology of Ryan's world is interesting, and the book definitely kept me hooked, but I had some problems with it too. I felt like it set up more questions than it answered, paving the way for future books in the series in a way that was more frustrating than enticing, and I really wasn't keen on the main character, Mary. She is extremely self-absorbed and self-obsessed, playing with people's hearts and constantly putting herself and others in danger through her reckless need to follow her whims instantly instead of thinking them through. Of course everyone around her pays the price, and yet she never seems to learn! I've picked up the next book, The Dead-Tossed Waves, mostly because it has a complete character shift so... no more Mary and her stupidity! Hopefully I'll like this one better, and it'll fill in some of those unanswered questions that bugged me in the first book. The idea for the story is great. I don't want to retell it. The blurb tells you enough without spoilers. I didn't like the main character very much, and the people around her were mostly selfish and horrible. For example, we are told that her supposedly best friend is "a ray sunshine" or something, a good person, but all I could see was selfishness. This is really more of a 4 1/2 star rating. I will definitely read then next in the series.
The story is riveting, even though it leaves a lot of questions to be explained in the sequel.
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385736827, Paperback)Amazon Exclusive: Scott Westerfeld Reviews The Forest of Hands and TeethScott Westerfeld is the author of three sets of books for young adults, including the Uglies series, the Midnighters series, and a series of stand-alone novels set in contemporary New York, including So Yesterday, Peeps, and The Last Days. Both Uglies and Peeps were named Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association in 2006. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of The Forest of Hands and Teeth: Teenagers love a good apocalypse. Who doesn't? All those annoying rules suspended. Society's pretenses made irrelevant. Malls to be looted. School out forever. But in The Forest and Hands and Teeth, Carrie Ryan's marvelous debut novel, the post-apocalypse is defined more by constraints than freedoms. The book begins seven generations after the Return, an undead plague that has ended civilization as we know it. Of course, a zombie outbreak usually means shotguns and mall looting--the very essence of freedom. But more than a century on from the Return, the malls have already been looted, and shotguns are a distant memory. The novel's heroine, Mary, lives in a village surrounded by one last vestige of industrial technology: a chain-link fence, beyond which is a vast forest full of shambling, eternally ravenous undead--the forest of hands and teeth. No villager ever goes outside this fence, unless they want to die. (And given this bleak scenario, some do.) Mary's world is bounded not only by the fence but by the archaic traditions of her people, which are enforced by a religious order called the Sisterhood. Marriages, childbirth, death, every stage of life must be controlled to sustain the village's precarious existence. Even the houses are circumscribed--literally--with passages of scripture carved into every entrance to remind the inhabitants of the rules that sustain human life amid the horrors of the forest. After so long an isolation, the village is beginning to forget. Some doubt that there really was a time before the Return, with giant cities and wondrous technologies. Others believe that nothing at all exists beyond the forest of hands and teeth. And nobody but Mary and her slightly mad mother believes in something called "the ocean," a huge and unbounded space beyond the reach of the undead. Mary is the sort of teenager who dreams of bigger things. Not just the ocean, but epic romance and adventure beyond the fence, maybe even other villages somewhere out there, safe behind their own fences. She believes that answers can be found to questions like, What made the Return happen? And what was it like before? Escaping the confines of home for the greater world is, of course, one of the great themes of teen literature. But few heroes in any genre have faced an obstacle as daunting as the forest of hands and teeth. Though Ryan's writing is as lyrical as her title, this novel is driven by the same grim relentlessness that animates any good zombie film. Elegant prose and undead hordes combine to create a story where high drama feels completely unforced, where tension is constant, and where an image as simple as the open sea is achingly romantic. Zombies have been metaphors for many things: consumerism, contagion in an overpopulated world, the inevitability of death. But here they resonate with a particularly teenage realization about the world--that social limits and backward traditions are numberless and unstoppable, no matter how shambling they may seem at first. And yet we must try to escape them anyway, lest we wither inside the fence.--Scott Westerfeld Amazon Exclusive: A Q&A with Carrie Ryan We had the opportunity to chat with Carrie Ryan over e-mail about her first novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Here's what Carrie had to say about George Romero, the growing popularity of young adult fiction, and how she's preparing for the zombie apocalypse.Amazon.com: You have said you began your writing career intending to write "chick lit." How, then, did you come to write The Forest of Hands and Teeth, which, on first glance, is a far cry from that genre? Carrie Ryan: In college many of the short stories I wrote were fairly dark but I'd always heard the advice that you should write what you read and at the time I loved to read romantic comedies and chick lit. So when I decided to attempt a novel, that's what I tried to write even though it didn't fit my natural tone. In fact, when I first tried to write a romantic comedy I had to constantly pull myself away from writing dark (and the reason I never tried to sell that book is because too many characters die which wasn't very comedic!). Even the young adult chick lit I was working on tended to be dark--the main character interned at a coroners office and was surrounded by death. So writing The Forest of Hands and Teeth was more of me embracing my true voice. I think I'd been scared to just indulge in it before, afraid that there wouldn't be a market for it (and in fact, even when I was writing The Forest of Hands and Teeth I was convinced it wasn't saleable). As soon as I jotted down the first line I decided to write it the way I wanted--to experiment and push the bounds and not worry about the market or what other people would think. This was the story I realized I had to tell when my fiancé suggested, "write what you love." Amazon.com: Your book has drawn inevitable comparison to the archetypal zombie flick, Night of the Living Dead. How does Mary's world differ from the world George Romero created more than 40 years ago? Are the movies what first got you hooked on zombies? Ryan: George Romero has really sparked a lot of imaginations and while any book or movie with zombies inevitably owes a massive debt to Romero's world, I tend not to think of The Forest of Hands and Teeth as a "zombie book," but rather a book that happens to have zombies in it. The Forest of Hands and Teeth, which takes place generations after the apocalypse, is really about a girl struggling with growing up, desire, and a controlling society set against the backdrop of a world with zombies (called "Unconsecrated") constantly pushing against the fences. The characters have already come to terms with the Return (the zombie apocalypse) and know nothing else: this is their world and they've accepted it. Romero's movies, on the other hand, deal more directly with the zombies--the plot arc of Night of the Living Dead is having to reckon with and defend against a zombie apocalypse as it occurs. In Romero's world the characters are still trying to fight against the zombies, still trying to reclaim the world of "before." In my book, the "before" time is lost, beyond memory, and the Unconsecrated are not so much the focal point as a part of the setting. I do think watching the remake of Dawn of the Dead sparked my interest in zombies and led to my watching other zombie movies, including Romero's. One of the things I love the best about his movies, and something that inspired me, is that while they may appear to be simply zombie flicks on the surface, they're actually a commentary on society and are often a reflection of societal fears. Like many other authors and directors, I wanted to use zombies as a mirror for the characters in my book. In the end, though, what influenced me most was the idea of a girl growing up trapped in a village that has forgotten everything and her hope that there could be something more beyond the menace in the Forest surrounding them, and that's what The Forest of Hands and Teeth is really about. Amazon.com: Many young adult books with post-apocalyptic settings have been gaining a wide adult fan base--Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games and Susan Beth Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It are a couple of examples. Why do you think these books are attracting a wider audience? Ryan: It's been really exciting to see so many young adult books find such popularity with adult readers and I've loved re-introducing both my mom and sister to the young adult section. In the past I think readers have "graduated" to adult books and there's been this feeling that young adult books are "just for teens" and are therefore somehow lighter and less substantive. While there have always been phenomenal young adult books published every year, it's really felt like there's been a renaissance recently: more books that are pushing the boundaries in every way. Not only are a lot of sophisticated young adult books being published, but they're accessible to everyone--most adults can remember those years of their life and tap into those emotions and feelings. But even more, so many of these books also tap into adult emotions and feelings: how to survive, figuring out what matters in life, struggling with changing relationships. These books make us question our decisions and ourselves and, especially in the current atmosphere of apprehension in the world, people are looking inward to what really matters to them. Ultimately, I like to think that the bottom line is there are just really really great books in the young adult section and that great books will find a wide audience, no matter where they're placed. Amazon.com: In The Forest of Hands and Teeth, no one seems to know how the Unconsecrated (the zombies that live outside the village gates) first came into existence. What do you suspect would trigger the zombie apocalypse? Ryan: This is actually one of my favorite parts of any zombie book or movie: seeing how the apocalypse is triggered. There are so many different ways it can happen (and has happened)! Aliens, séances, military and medical experiments gone wrong, parasites, environmental mishaps. You name it, it's caused the zombie apocalypse (I'm still waiting for a movie with chocolate overindulgence as the trigger!) But I actually made a conscious decision to leave the cause of the Return a mystery in The Forest of Hands and Teeth. One reason is that I wanted to show how knowledge and history could erode so drastically over time. The characters in my book have been so isolated and controlled that they think the ocean is a myth; they have no conception of the world before the Return. Ultimately, I recognized that the cause of the Return doesn't matter to the characters or the story. There are so many books and movies that focus on why and how such an apocalypse occurs but my book takes place so long after the event that it's meaningless. I really wanted to draw that distinction between my world and other zombie worlds: that it doesn't matter how or why or what triggered the zombie apocalypse, just that it happened and that's the world they live in now. Amazon.com: So, how are you preparing for the zombie apocalypse? Ryan: We're not at all prepared! It's funny, shortly after seeing my first zombie movie I dreamt there was a zombie apocalypse and how I would handle it if stuck in the apartment I was living in at the time. Even after waking up I kept trying to figure out how I would survive (how to defend myself, get water, find help, etc.). I've since thought through similar issues with every place we've lived sort of as a fun thought experiment and I've come to the conclusion that we were much safer when we lived in a top floor apartment than our one-story house with too many windows! To prepare, I just continue to read books, watch movies and am currently trying to train my puppy to be a zombie-sniffing dog. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:35:27 -0400) Through twists and turns of fate, orphaned Mary seeks knowledge of life, love, and especially what lies beyond her walled village and the surrounding forest, where dwell the Unconsecrated, aggressive flesh-eating people who were once dead. |

The moonwalk is a dance move that presents the illusion of the dancer being pulled backwards while attempting to walk forward.[1] A popping move, it became popular around the world after Michael Jackson executed the dance move during a performance of "Billie Jean" on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever on March 25, 1983. This special was broadcast May 16, 1983.[2] It subsequently became his signature move.[3][4]
An illusion is involved in creating the appearance of the dancer gliding backwards. Initially, the front foot is held flat on the ground, while the back foot is in a tiptoe position. The flat front foot remains on the ground but is slid lightly and smoothly backward past the tip-toe back foot. What is now the front foot is lowered flat, while the back foot is raised into the tiptoe position. These steps are repeated over and over creating the illusion that the dancer is being pulled backwards by an unseen force while trying to walk forward. Variations of this move allow the moon walking to also appear to glide forwards, sideways, and even in a circle.
There are many recorded instances of the moonwalk, similar steps are reported as far back as 1932, used by Cab Calloway.[5] In 1985, Calloway said that the move was called "The Buzz" when he and others performed it in the 1930s.[6][7]
In 1944, Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien featured the move in their performance of "Under the Bamboo Tree" in Meet Me In St. Louis.[8]
In 1955, it was recorded in a performance by tap dancer Bill Bailey. He performs a tap routine, and at the end, backslides into the wings.[9] The French mime artist Marcel Marceau used it throughout his career (from the 1940s through the 1980s), as part of the drama of his mime routines. In Marceau's famous "Walking Against the Wind" routine Marceau pretends to be pushed backwards by a gust of wind.[10]
In the 1950s, Dick Van Dyke performed a similar variation of the moonwalk and camel walk in his comedy routine called "Mailing A Letter On A Windy Corner". Mexican dancer/comedian Adalberto Martinez "Resortes" also performed the moonwalk during his shows.
In a November 1969 episode of H.R. Pufnstuf, Judy Frog teaches everyone a new dance called "The Moonwalk", which includes two instances of a stationary moonwalk.[11]
James Brown used the move[12] and can be seen performing it in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. Another early moonwalker was popper and singer Jeffrey Daniel, who moonwalked in a performance of Shalamar's "A Night To Remember" on Top of the Pops in the UK in 1982[13] and was known to perform backslides in public performances (including weekly Soul Train episodes) as far back as 1974. Michael Jackson was a fan of Jeffrey Daniel's dancing and would eventually seek him out.
Also in 1982, Debbie Allen performs a moonwalk during a scene with Gwen Verdon in Season 1, Episode 10 ("Come One, Come All") of the TV series Fame.[14]
In 'Flashdance, the move was used in the B-Boy scene, where Rock Steady Crew's Mr. Freeze (Marc Lemberger) with an umbrella prop, mimed the wind blowing him backward as he first walks forward, fighting the wind, then starts moonwalking backwards. Mr. Freeze's version was also shown in the first Hip Hop movie "Wild Style" and Malcolm McLaren film clip "Buffalo Gals".[15]
Derek (Cooley) Jackson and Geron (Caszper) Canidate taught Jackson the moonwalk. He saw Cooley & Caszper do the moonwalk dance on Soul Train, so he had his manager call Soul Train to introduce Cooley & Caszper to Jackson. The dance was brought to further public attention in 1983 when Jackson performed it during a television special, Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever on March 25 that year. Dressed in his signature black trousers, silver socks, silver shirt, black-sequined jacket, single sequined glove, and black fedora, Jackson spun around, posed, and began moonwalking. Music critic Ian Inglis later wrote that Jackson encapsulated a long tradition of African-American dance movements in that one performance.[12] The audience cheered Michael's moonwalk. Moonwalking received widespread attention, and from then on, the moonwalk became Jackson's signature move for his song "Billie Jean". Nelson George said that Jackson's rendition "combined Jackie Wilson's athleticism with James Brown's camel walk". Michael Jackson's autobiography was titled Moonwalk, and he also starred in a 1988 film titled Moonwalker. In the 1984 movie, 'Streets of Fire, actor and performer Stoney Jackson did a magnificent moonwalk as the leader of a fictional group, The Sorels, who lip-synced to the Dan Hartman song, I Can Dream About You.
Alexei Kovalev has also been known for using the moonwalk in his NHL career.[16] He performed the move after scoring a goal on February 7, 2001 and on January 3, 2010. Kovalev moonwalked on to the ice after being named one of the stars of the game and again after scoring on a penalty kick in a 2008 celebrity charity soccer game.

Kings Go Forth, 'The Outsiders Are Back' (Luaka Bop)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Sharon Jones, move over. With fiery singer Black Wolf leading the attack, the fine debut from Milwaukee's ten-man Kings Go Forth echoes the high-flying vibe of Superfly-era Curtis Mayfield and other '70s greats, yet feels utterly fresh. On spine-tinglers like "High on Your Love" and "You're the One," the sweet, pleading vocals encompass both ecstasy and desperation, while the blazing beats boast the urgency of ska or punk. For extra satisfaction, savor the sizzling production -- mono on most tracks -- and the retro (but new) cover graphics by famed outsider artist Mingering Mike.

Not under your notion.
If paternity fraud continues with each payment made and did not stop the moment when the judge, under a falsehood, awarded the judgement, then theft continues each month, each day, each second, the thief continues to have possession of the item. For continued profits from stolen goods is a continuation of the theft itself. Once the judgement is rendered, if we buy your new argument, the theft has stopped, because, by law, its no longer theft. Its a court ordered payment system which the law recognizes as legitimate.
No matter how you slice it brah, the blade swings both ways. Either you have a problem in general with any and all statutes of limitations, or you don't. They are all premised on the same notion- at some point, you have to cut off liability. If the victim, in this case the wronged father, doesn't want to bring an action or contest it in any way, then that's his bag.
Yes, but profits made from stolen goods, even if continual, are not continual transfers of wealth from the victim to the thief. There is only the initial theft that violated the victim. Sure, the victim could have possibly used the stolen good to make profit himself, but the fact that the thief is using it to profit no longer affects the victim. The victim would be in the same situation whether or not the thief used the stolen goods to profit.
This is clearly not the case with paternity fraud. Whether the mother continues to profit of the crime makes every difference in the world to the man, because he is the one from whom she is directly profiting. And like you said, statutes of limitations are designed to cut off liability after a certain point. The mother should therefore be free from risk after a certain number of years. That's wherein the statutes of limitations ought to lie. It should not extend to making the victim liable to her. That's why I stated that after the statute of limitations, the mother should owe back the money, but she also ought not to be able to continue to profit from the crime.
Much stronger in that it at least begins to take on the veneer of a organized and focused movement or war. When you have a group and noted leaders expose a position, in unison, or as a recognized platform, it looks alot more like an agenda than some dudes independently and without concert raping some guys in jail. That prison rape exists seems at this point to be your only 'evidence' or a war on men.
That's silly. That's like saying the Democrats are waging a "war on income" because they favor higher taxes than the Republicans.
No, my primary evidence is the widespread indifference to it. I have a hard time believing people would be so indifferent to rampant female-on-female rape. That male rape is prevalent isn't itself isn't evidence of a war on men, the indifference to it is where the evidence lies.
... Yeah brah, there's this thing called a dictionary. You might want to look at it.
To what are you referring?
It is a logical absurdity to say something is both a two way street and self-imposed. That's like alleging some shape is both a sphere and a square; it just logically can't happen.
No, it's not. Pregnancy is a two-way street in that it requires mutual action between two people. It is self-imposed in that it is voluntarily endured. Something need not be done alone to be self-imposed; the two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
"two-way street - an arrangement or a situation involving reciprocal obligation or mutual action"
"self-imposed - voluntarily assumed or endured"
I don't understand the confusion.
Pregnancy is, from sheer biology, a two-way process.
Ok, I take it you aren't a biology major.
Unless of course you are about to argue that the female species can asexually reproduce.
If you are admitting to have a serious biological discussion, please don't refer to "the female species".
Or take a Republican senator's position and argue that the female body has "ways of shutting that whole thing down" if a woman doesn't want to get pregnant. Either way, I can't wait for the show.
Yeah, it should be obvious that I argue for neither of these two things.
But what about artificial insemination? This is clearly not a two-way street, as only one party is involved, to the extent that we need here concern ourselves. You seem to think that any act done in concert can't be self-imposed. But there is no denying that a woman artificially-inseminated is pregnant (obviously assuming it takes), and it is clearly self-imposed by any definition of the word. So pregnancy can be self-imposed.
