The defender joined Juventus on loan spell in January and has impressed enough to earn a four-year contract.
Turin: Uruguay defender Martin Caceres has signed a permanent deal with Juventus, tying him to the Serie A champions until 2016.
Caceres joined Juventus for a second loan spell in January from Sevilla and the 25-year-old has impressed enough to earn a four-year contract, with the Italian club spending €8 million on the player.
Caceres enjoyed his first spell at Juventus when he signed on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona in August 2009. Although he got off to a goalscoring debut in the league and was a regular in the team, he was sidelined by injury for several months and Juventus did not make the move permanent.
Caceres returned to Barcelona but was immediately shipped out to Sevilla, first on loan and then in a permanent move. He spent the second half of this season on loan at the Turin-based club, making 11 Serie A appearances.
The former Barcelona defender has now become the first summer signing made by coach Antonio Conte, who signed a new contract on Thursday.

Thoughts on height over the net
I'm a 4.0 USTA dubs player. When I stroke forehands or serves for example, I try to hit hard without reference to the ball's flight clearance over the net. I think it is too much focus on hitting hard and being satisfied that the ball is in (depth and direction aside).
I think it was Vic Braden that would have people hit through actual windows above the net.
Does anyone focus on height over the net and if so, how does one train/practice both mentally and physically without aids.
Everyone uses different reference points. Some use height, some distance. And for which shot?
Serves..first low, second high net clearance.
Forehands..groundies high, passing shots and forcing attempts low.
Heavy topspin hitters high, flat hitters low.
I focus on generous net clearance thru a window above a section
of net as priority 1, with 1a being strong spin to bring it down as
quick as I can. Because I am coming thru or hitting with good power,
I don't have to concern myself with it being short. Just focus on a
nice line of shot thru the window and excellent Ts to bring it down
quickly. Depth will take care of itself if I'm hitting it well.
Any thoughts on how you can visualize a window. I think I can imagine if it is directly above the net, but I have problems thinking about one suspended in the air above the net -- does it run the length of the net, half court, quadrants, etc?
Now you're overthinking.....
Keep it 3' above the net, higher if you loop your groundies.
When netmen are stationed, go lower.
Sharp angles, go lower
Now if you hit weak, imagine the line suspended 6' above the ground.
tend to visualize them easily.
I use 5 main windows that are about 3x3ft square and hanging about 2ft above the net.
One is right over the center strap for cross ct shot, and then one on each side of that
one. These 2 are for when I rec a ball near center, but target out to targets on the wings.
The last 2 windows are near the lines for hitting down the lines shots.
You can practice by making a 3x3 target on sticks and moving it around. We made one with netting that would catch the balls.
We used to have an indoor half court where the net was near the wall with square ads that made excellent targets. Ball would hit the hanging tarp and feed back into the ball machine.
Lee's suggestion of a rope or cord above the net is good too.
and it's better for 2 people hitting and keeping a rally.
For a dubs player, a ton of height over the net is not good unless it's lob height. I say aim for shoelaces unless you are in a cross court rally as the server or returner. Then you're mainly concerned with angles and looking for a way in.
My net clearance in singles play is several feet over the net or more unless I'm looking to force something or win the point. In dubs it's probably 1 to 2 feet or less.
Personally, in higher level doubles, I don't concern myself with aiming for a player's feet. Instead, I go for the best shot I can make, low over the net, and allow it's exact landing position to play itself out. To me, a low net clearing ball that would have landed at short NML is just as good, or better, than a net skimmer that lands just inside the service line. A half volley is not easier or harder than a low volley.
For me, my shots tend to go about 1 foot over the net...maybe. I play very flat, especially when I can step into the court. I do possess more rally type balls with the ball going about 2-3 feet over the net.
I really do not think visualizing height over the net is very important. We can of course use this as a determining factor to see how much spin we're getting, and stringing a cord a few feet above the net during practice will give us instant feedback on whether or not our strokes are getting good clearance.
I was thinking of this thread when playing yesterday, and I realized that I don't think about height at all! It just happens by instinct. I only hit into the net when I am out of position and scrambling, and the shot becomes weak and dies. Or when I am nearly blinded when moving forward and don't know what I am doing. For regular groundies, I try to keep it deep and that dictates a height automatically.
Having said that, IMO, targeting height over the net is the only way to effectively hit the depth you are trying to achieve.
There's a youtube clip posted by aimr with Warinka and another 1hbh dude. They don't hit over 5 feet above the net. Occasionally they do loop the ball high though.
I think "10' " over the net is a little bit of a stretch. Yes, pros do hit that high once in a blue moon, but only on defense wanting the point to end.
Think of the ballspeed of balls hit that high, even with heavy topspin. A baseliner can move forwards, take the volley in middle of NML, aim for a corner with a low skidder slice, and make it 4' inside the service line before a passing shot is attempted.
Net is 3'. 10' higher makes a ball hit THIRTEEN FEET above the ground!
Here's Borg and Lendl in a 921 shot rally at the 1981 Masters. Judge the height of the ball over the net for yourself. Remember that 6 feet over the net means that one the players could stand on the net cord and the ball would graze the top of their heads.
FWIW, I'd estimate most of their shots are around 3 feet over the net, or about 6 feet off the ground.
Here's Jimbo and John from the 1984 USO semi. Again, I'm seeing a couple of feet max. net clearance on balls that they're hitting offensively. Neither guy is Mr. topspin. There are defensive shots that are higher. Overall seems lower than Borg and Lendl.
Fast forward three decades to Fed and Djokovic at the USO semi. With the pace those two were hitting with there's no way the ball is more a foot or so over the net on most shots. I am still in awe of the pace and consistency that they generated.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- An 8-year-old girl was released from the hospital Friday after being attacked by a pit bull the day before in North Spokane.
The same dog also attacked a neighbor who tried to save her, according to Spokane Police.
WATCH: Spokane man fights off attacking pit bull with shovel
KREM 2 News learned the attack was so bad, the girl, named Diamond, received more than 100 stitches. It was an experience the Diamond s mother hopes she will never have to see again.
So they took me around the corner, and sure enough it was my daughter on the concrete, and her arms were ate up, said Nakia Roberts. She was bleeding from the head. It was just blood everywhere and it was kind of scary.
The attack happened Thursday evening. The dog's owner said she was not home at the time. Neighbor Craig Randleman was, though, and rushed to help.
They were really on her, it was really terrible, said Randleman.
He managed to kick the dog, before it turned on him.
Her arms were all torn up and she had a pretty good cut on her, blood on her head. But then the dog came at me and he got me in the face, said Randleman.
That dog also bit Craig on both of his arms. Eventually, another man heard the commotion and fought the dog off with 15 blows from a shovel. In the commotion, the pit bull bit that man three times as well.
According to medics, the little girl barely escaped with her life.
I was so scared for her because she was so panicky and shaken and everything, said Roberts.
SCRAPS is now investigating both the dog and its owner, Kathy Southern.
The organization will make the determination if the animal will have to be registered as either a dangerous or extremely dangerous dog. That would mean Southern would have to meet certain requirements in order to keep the dog. If she did not, then SCRAPS would be forced to euthanize the animal.
At the same time, SCRAPS is looking into whether Southern broke the law by having a dog with vicious propensities. That is a crime punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 dollar fine.
Regardless of the outcome, Roberts said the attack has left her daughter traumatized.
But she doesn't want to be around dogs anymore, Roberts said. And she was worried she would still have nightmares about it and stuff like that. So she was pretty shook up.

I am a HUGE fan of Monica Seles, but I would have to disagree with you on this point. If there was one thing I could say about her game, it wouldn't include the term graceful. She would often barely get to balls, but her great wrists and hands, combined with her strength and power and good footwork, allowed her to still hit an offensive shot. I never considered her game to be graceful at all. Ferocious, yes. Graceful, no.
I do think she was quicker with regards to footspeed before the stabbing and that part of her game, which I never thought was a real strength of hers to begin with, really suffered because of the layoff and the weight gain and she was noticeably slower when she returned.

Thread: Sirens
October 15th, 2010 #1
Trying a somewhat new process, simple sketch, basic colours underneath then painting details directly over top. Used to be everything was values first then colour overlays then direct paint but sometimes I feel my values and colours are a bit hollow.
Anyhow any crits welcome. I think the laying siren needs to have a bigger head and I'm not sure if I want to move the foreground one up on the canvas or not.

I like the way you have painted the standing figure. Very nice.
If I was to critique it, it would be on composition. There is nowhere in particular that seems to be the central focus. The standing figure is the most detailed (but it is a WIP, so I don't know how far you will take the other figures). If the standing woman is meant to be the focal, then I think you will need to find ways to make this the case, be it by introducing more colours, more intensely lit etc.
No figure grabs my attention more than another. The focus could be all of the figures, but the way that they are laid out makes this out of the question in my opinion. I feel to strengthen the composition, the furthest away figure will need to be dulled significantly, or taken out. The front two figures disappear off the frame, which is fine, but most of the paintings that I have seen work a lot better without the frame cutting some limbs off.
(This is all advice from someone who knows less than you, just my $0.02)

I have to agree with the previous poster. A suggestion would be to perhaps move the sirens a little to the right so that the standing figure (who seems to have been intended as the main focus point) is more centrally located and draws the viewers eye better, because in her current position she seems out of the limelight.
Secondly, I would maybe like to see a few small lights, like oil lamps, added on the boat, just to give it a little bit of life. I think it would not only give a little more color contrast to the predominantly blue piece, but also not let the ship get lost so much in the background, because right now it would be tough to tell exactly what's going on in this picture if I didn't know the title.
Hope this helps!

Thanks guys, I like the crits on the comp and boat lights a lot; my intent for the focus was for the viewer to start at the beginning of the little story (sirens pulling in a ship) on the left, but then moving down and through the look of the laying siren down to the "reveal" which would be the skulls, blood and sword. I think some more contrast/detail down there would help bring more focus (I tried that with the blood), and I'll see about shifting the positions of the sirens (and toning down the back one)
keep em comin if you got em.

The tangent between the foreground figure's head and the laying figure's torso is kinda awkward, it makes it look like the laying figure is balancing on the foreground figure's head. I think the piece would look stronger composition-wise if you erased the laying figure completely, slightly scaled down and moved the standing one to our right and added some more canvas space to the top and left sides.

The only real issue I have with the composition thus far is that, well, the figure lying on her stomach is lying flat against the rock. And last I recalled, rocks aren't always obliging in creating a nice flat patch for you to lie against, not to mention how jarring it is compared to the other figures which are more naturally posed in the environment.

At risk of unbalancing the composition, I'm wishing that there was more canvas space between the ship and the girls as well as more of a sense of the vastness of the ocean. Right now, it seems like the feeling of the relationship between the vast ocean and the little island the girls are on are reversed, which just doesn't feel right to me (even if the focus is obviously on the sirens).
All the girls are looking good to me except for the laying one. The contours/lighting on the back don't look quite natural and the shoulders seem a bit masculine or something. And I do think the head may be a bit small (either that, or she needs more cranium).
Also, since the girl at the bottom is holding a bloody knife, will we see a [somewhat fresh] victim's corpse right next to her, maybe going off on that corner of the canvas.

I always like triangle compositions. I think its just a good standard set up that works.
As for suggestions? I think the values so far are leading the eye but all the of the sirens are so equally lit, the dept isnt really reading right for me. I'm curious if you have some preference on the overall layout? Because I agree with what wooblood said about the ship and the girls, so maybe you could make it more of a horizontal piece? You could fit more space as far as aerial perspective and space on the picture plane maybe?
I really enjoy the colors though.
Just have fun.

nice, what are your brush settings when painting skin? Also, you use hard or soft brush?
October 16th, 2010 #11
Update; the crits on the comp I think were spot on, the sirens feel more gestalt and there's a bit more lead in to the story. I also thing the stronger highlights on the standing leg lead the eye down a bit better. Also not sure if I want the crashing wave or not;
October 16th, 2010 #12
Much better indeed . The only crit I have is a bit of a nitpick I guess; the skulls indicate old kills but the blood is fresh (also contradictory with the fact that they are still trying to lure in the ship rather than already having made their kill). I think if you painted old blood stains on the rock, brown and rusty, it'd be less contradictory.
The left leg of the standing siren seems a bit thick, there isn't very much of a transition from thigh to knee to calf. I think the thigh should be just slightly thinner close to the knee. Quite beautiful women otherwise though, I'm very pleased you chose to give the women a slight bit more meat than you see on your average fantasy woman.
Oh, and perhaps the sky should be slightly darker. It's really good otherwise though. You're an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others .
October 16th, 2010 #13
Oh, and I forgot something. I think the underside of her left butt-cheek needs a slight.. Crease? The weight is on that leg and she's standing upright, so as a result the muscles of the leg and her butt are being pressed together there. This is based on what my own body does though (and a reference). I made a quick paintover to make myself more clear; also changed the leg a bit while I was at it.
It's also really good to hear that I'm not the only one who uses the standard round brush for painting ^^.

Think I'm almost done. Not sure if it's too monochromatic even though I do like the colour of their skin. Colour overlay to the rescue, not sure if I want to do the whole image or just the sirens. Overlay on just the sirens gives more contrast but the overall image adds more colour variation throughout. Bah either way it's about done I think, thanks everyone for the help;
October 17th, 2010 #17
Beautifully rendered figures and your skin tones there are amazing. True that the composition could be stronger but what is really distracting me are the hands and feet. A skilled artist will always look at them, especially the hands since they can tell stories themselves. Painting then are probably the hardest things to do (for me at least) so I think you could try to give it another go at them. Really nice work though man, you almost have yourself a portfolio piece here.
and one more nit-picky thing here....to my knowledge sirens dont generally use knives to kill their prey, I think the blood would do the trick without the knife, but hey you're the artist.

The foreshortening on the standing woman's left arm is way off. Right now it looks like a stumpy arm of a child. Did you use ref for it?
The problem is in the shoulder is drawn as if the arm is at her side, but the arm is foreshortened in front of her. So look at some shoulder ref in that position, because I think the bicep is in the wrong position and the lighting is off.

Think I would put less spray as the one looks like she's getting it all in the face. I'd say lose the spray above the knee level of the the standing woman. The standing woman also seems to have legs that are slightly too short, and as noted here arms are a bit odd. Not sure if you have references for the skulls but they don't look very realistic, either.
It would probably more convincing as a nocturnal scene without the warm colours in the foreground, unless there is a light source. Blood looks black by moonlight, so I'm told, and the figures looked better in the cool tones of the earlier versions. (I think I would leave out the knife and the blood and just have the bones, as it's a bit much.) Aside from that I think it's a great picture.

I personally think this is gorgeous, but I loved the mood of the piece before the colour overlays. It was very ominous. Now I'm just sitting there wondering where all that bright light is coming from out in the middle of the ocean.
But a very beautiful piece indeed!

It's looking beautiful, the skin tones especially, very luminous. I would keep working on this though. You have many areas that you can improve.
The legs of the woman standing need to be a tad bit longer (or a smaller torso?), and narrower at the ankles.
Ultimately, if you want the composition to work you need to take out that "interaction" that is taking place between the two middle sirens, its distracting. The one on the the rock seems to be looking at the one below with that look... lesbian sirens? I would suggest having one of them face the ship.
You could try having cloud formations such that it creates a circular flow to the piece... as your eye would go from the ship to the sirens into and through the clouds, through the standing woman and back to the ship. Just one of the many ways to improve composition IMO.
Blood colour would depend on whether its fresh or not... Judging form the skulls one would think it's not but the siren is holding a knife which seems to indicate that it is fresh. There's a conflict there.
remember, the rocks are going to have a different texture than flesh.
Would they be carrying torches on the ship?

I find the standing siren's head to be too large in proportion to the rest of the body.
Also, with the siren laying down, it seems that her cheek on the far side is missing. Her you can see most of her forehead, but not her other cheek. It makes her look extremely gaunt.
Gorgeous piece, I love the wave and your subtle soft shading style.

Light the ladies in the foreground a little more. Right now they're not too much brighter than the boat in the background so it's flattening your image a bit. If possible, make the sea darker. Really start pushing those values on the rocks and women. I think it would be something very special then.

I love the a ocean splash and flesh tones.
Only comment I have is the skulls look a bit cartoony too me. It reminds of these hand made skulls which are more stylized. The zygomatic arch, with the spacing isn't as apparent.
Here is some helpful reference that might help define the forms better.
Make a sketchbook happy, feed it a tip to improve!

Looking at the last post of your work, wow. It is awesome. The only critique I have is the skulls and bones around the Sirens. They appear flat and cartoonish in a rich and lifelike painting.

Just stacking another ticket for the original colours. While the overlays make the sirens stand out more it totally kills the otherwise beautifully rendered moonlit skin.

Not far from Power's studio in London was Hammersmith Bridge and from here he would watch the racing skulls skim along the Thames in practice for the Head of the River race. Power made many sketches and drawings of the rowers in preparation for the final print. There is a real accuracy in the depiction of the rowers combined with the beautiful harmony in the pallet of colours. The geometry of the composition has been likened to an arrangement of seeds or leaves on a plant.

In a 6-2 decision, the United States Supreme Court upheld EPA's justification for the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), breathing life back into the rule that had been vacated by the DC Circuit. The Court made several significant holdings under the Clean Air Act and raised some issues that could mean CSAPR could see some more legal action. Even with the prospect of more litigation over the Rule, it is possible that the CSAPR requirements could be reinstated by January 2015, at least in most states. For this to happen, however, the DC Circuit would need to lift the current stay and EPA would need to go through a new rulemaking to establish new compliance deadlines for CSAPR.
The case will now be remanded to the D.C. Circuit for additional proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court opinion. This does not mean that EPA can begin immediate implementation of CSAPR - additional process is necessary at the D.C. Circuit and potentially EPA. For example, the Supreme Court explicitly left open the argument "that EPA could not impose FIPs on several upwind States whose SIPs had been previously approved by the Agency under CAIR… for the Court of Appeals to consider in the first instance on remand." Supreme Court Slip op. at 14, n. 12. The D.C. Circuit did not address this issue, deciding that "[b]ecause the Transport Rule must be vacated in any event, we need not address here whether EPA's 'corrections' of CAIR SIP approvals exceeded its authority under Section 110(k)(6). EME Homer City Generation, L.P. v. EPA, 696 F.3d 7, 31 n. 29 (2012). EPA may also issue new guidance or rulemaking to establish a pathway to implementation of CSAPR, considering the long time period between promulgation of the rule and the Supreme Court decision.

I actually think a combined faction is pretty realistic.
Because Cryptic acknowledge they have a very poor PvP system that noone partakes in (I blame the messy queue system mainly) and they have openly said they are unsure as to whether they will actually try and implement something half decent or just abandon it.
With no PvP you have no representation of any conflict whatsoever. How can you be at war with someone without actively combating them?
Best thing they can do for STO is to continue doing what they are with the Feds, release KDF content from a KDF stand-point (doesn't need to be as much as Feds tbh, just true KDF content), potentially release a third and final faction (any more than 3 is ridiculous, also id probably imagine a 'neutral' faction would be better. Then again Romulans can still be the piggy-in-the-middle I guess) and then add a 'tug-of-war' type contested pvp area (neutral zone) where factions fight over something other than just 'for the sake of it' (id probably suggest some sort of resources to enable the faction to buy awesome gear/consumables).
Its easier said than done I know but it is what needs to be done.
Heck if I could id work on STO myself but frankly I lack the skills and ofc don't work for Cryptic... Im always open to offers though if you need a new janitor

Hydrothermal vents have characterised parts of the seafloor since oceans first formed, and modern vents are sites of thriving faunal communities developed around chemical energy sources in the total absence of light.
Richard Herrington, of the department of mineralogy at The Natural History Museum, London, examines vents sites and their associated animal life through geological time, aided by discoveries illuminated by modern seafloor exploration techniques, developed less than 30 years ago. These have enabled scientists to speculate about the contribution of vents to the very origins of life, both on Earth and possibly on other planets.

Throwing Knife

Throw knives accurately
Throwing knife is one of those nonsense games with no other purpose than tapping on the screen and flick to wherever you want to throw it inside the spinning wheel. Depending on the color you hit you'll get as many points as indicated.
This game doesn't even try to go further, and after a few shots you'll get to master it and be able to predict where the knife will hit, and unless you are willing to check the higher levels, it's most likely you uninstall it then.
Anyway, if you're looking for a very, very, very casual game, here's Throwing Knife.
You can choose from the four targets.
In addition, you can adjust the direction and speed of moving targets.
For each settings state the best result of the game is saved.
The goal of the game is to get the most points.
How to play.
Touch the screen. Move your finger so that the tip of the blade moved to the location where you want to throw a knife. Remove your finger from the screen. Knife thrown.
When you aim pay attention to the direction and speed of the target. It is necessary to aim with anticipation.
The game uses colored target.
Points are added for hit:
Green + 1
Blue + 2
Red + 5
Yellow + 10
White - 25% of the score
When hit in the human game ends.
You are invited to hit the target of a certain color. If you do this, then you get an extra knife. This will allow you to make more shots and get more points.
Attention !!!

Strong earthquake rattles southern Alaska
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 6:37am EST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A strong earthquake shook southeastern Alaska early Thursday, but there was no danger of a tsunami and no early reports of any damage, officials said.
The magnitude 6.0 quake struck shortly before 1 a.m. and was centered in the ocean, about 200 miles south of the capital, Juneau, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The Tsunami Warning Center said there was no danger of a tsunami.
The quake was widely felt across the region, but the Alaska Earthquake Information Center said it had no immediate reports of any damage.
The police dispatch office in the coastal town of Craig, 60 miles east of the epicenter, said the quake was felt but it had received no calls about damage or other problems.
Still, the USGS said the quake was strong enough to have an effect.
"There might be slight cracks in windows or walls or foundations, but not something where you would expect major devastation," said USGS geophysicist Amy Vaughan. "Certainly things might have been rattled off walls or off countertops or out of cabinets."
The center says the quake is an aftershock to a magnitude 7.5 temblor that struck on Jan. 4. That quake sparked a tsunami warning for hundreds of miles along the Alaska and Canadian coasts, but it was cancelled after a few hours when no damaging waves were generated.
The Broadcast News Center in Washington contributed to this report.

Enriching crops by adding a naturally-occurring soil mineral to fertilisers could potentially help to reduce disease and premature death in the African country of Malawi, researchers have said.
An international study led by academics at The University of Nottingham has shown that dietary deficiency of the mineral selenium which plays a vital role in keeping the immune system healthy and fighting illness is likely to be endemic among the Malawi population.
They found that most Malawi soils cannot supply enough selenium for adequate human nutrition and, in a paper published today in the journal Scientific Reports, they call for further investigation into the benefits and costs of using selenium-enriched fertilisers and other strategies to boost levels within the country's food.
Leading the study was Dr Martin Broadley, of the University's School of Biosciences, he said: "Selenium is a naturally occurring mineral of fundamental importance to human health, with critical roles in immunity. People with low dietary selenium intakes are at increased risk of suffering from a variety of diseases. Most soils in Malawi have extremely low levels of the selenium available to plant roots and so selenium is not transferred into crops in sufficient amounts for optimal human health. We urgently need to assess strategies to address this problem in Malawi and the wider Southern African region in the context of wider mineral malnutrition (for example, iron, zinc and iodine deficiencies), often referred to as the 'hidden hunger'."
The study examined the diet and the resulting nutritional status of a total of 120 otherwise healthy women aged between 18 and 50 years old living in villages in Zombwe in the north of Malawi and Mikalango in the south.

Gov't: Spending to rise under health care overhaul
WASHINGTON The nation's health care tab will go up - not down - as a result of President Barack Obama's sweeping overhaul. That's the conclusion of a government forecast Thursday, which also predicts the increase will be modest.
The average annual growth in health care spending will be just two-tenths of 1 percentage point higher through 2019 with Obama's remake, said the analysis from Medicare's Office of the Actuary. And that's with more than 32 million uninsured gaining coverage because of the new law.
"The impact is moderate," said Andrea Sisko, an economist with the nonpartisan unit that prepared the report.
Factoring in the law, Americans will spend an average of $13,652 per person a year on health care in 2019, according to the actuary's office. Without the law, the corresponding number would be $13,387.
That works out to $265 more with the overhaul.
The big picture numbers are $4.6 trillion with the overhaul in 2019, and $4.5 trillion without it. The nation will spend $2.6 trillion on health care this year.
The new bottom line is guaranteed to provide ammunition for both sides of a health care debate that refuses to move offstage. Republicans are vowing repeal if they win control of Congress this fall, although they are unlikely to have enough votes to override an Obama veto.
For critics, the numbers show that the law didn't solve the cost problem, although Obama repeatedly said he wanted to bend the spending curve down.
The analysis found that health care spending will grow to nearly 20 percent of the economy in 2019. That siphons off resources that could be invested in education, research, transportation or other areas. Medical costs now account for about 17 percent of the economy, and some experts think that's already too much.
"We really haven't trimmed health care spending," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, which advocates for reducing the federal deficit. "Even if we found a way to provide more people with coverage, we still have the same fiscal problem we always did. Frankly, it's a little bit more difficult to solve now because we have made a major new commitment."
Bixby's group raised concerns about the cost of the health care legislation, but did not oppose it.
For advocates of the law, the numbers show that expanding coverage to 93 percent of eligible Americans comes at a relative bargain price. Moreover, if Congress sticks to cost controls in the legislation, there's potential beyond 2020 to rein in the growth of health care spending. The new projections show a slowdown starting around 2018.
"By the end of the projection period, we estimate (costs) will grow more slowly," said John Poisal, who worked on the forecast.
It's a long way off, but under the health care law, the big coverage push doesn't start until 2014.
That's when the government will offer tax credits to help middle-class people buy private coverage through new insurance markets in their states. At the same time, Medicaid will be opened up to millions more low-income people. Insurers will have to accept all applicants, regardless of health problems. And most Americans will be required to carry coverage or face a fine from the IRS.

Today's Top Stories 1. According to Syrian opposition sources, yesterday's Israeli airstrikes destroyed anti-aircraft missiles and drones belonging to Hezbollah. Installations near Damascus International Airport and the town of Dimas were hit. See Jerusalem Post coverage and Amos Harel commentary, while Ron Ben-Yishai examines the Iranian fingerprints. There was no official Israeli comment on the raid.…

An Israeli airstrike killed an Islamic Jihadnik. Hithem Ziad Ibrahim Masshal was connected to recent rocket fire on Eilat. The rockets were fired from the Egyptian Sinai, so Masshal certainly internationalizes the conflict. So I'm having a laugh at this Sky News headline. The yellow highlighting accentuates the description of Masshal, who won't remind anyone…

General Comments
I didn't have this GPS for more than one month. The second day of use while up moose hunting I left the unit on the counter overnight.
It was about 20 degrees F. I went to use the unit and noticed that the plastic faceplate had cracked. Not abused as suggested by retailer.
They both voided the warranty and to find this out I had to call them 1 1/2 months later to find out the status of my claim.
They would not even contact me as to the status of the GPS. I will not purchase anything from a company which in my opinion does not stand behind their product.

Already proven to be a success with celebrity clients and ordinary members of church groups, the PrayFit diet now becomes available to an even wider audience.

IDW 0012: Peacetime Transport
Topic: Peacetime Transport
Background: In an extremely unlikely, yet ideal future, there is no war. There is no large scale dissention between political parties, governments, or nations. There has been a significant paradigm shift which has lead to a cooperative global society focused on sustainable ecology.
New technology has enabled small scale duplication of raw materials through atom 'breeding' - meaning that many of the crises involving resource scares are no longer an issue, and production of material goods can continue as before.
In this secure peacetime, attentions are turned to quality of life. Within this is a greater appreciation by all people, of the power of beauty, and a greater understanding of aesthetics. This has led to a backwards shift in trends to older classical periods of decadence, decoration and art.
Brief:Your task is to design a vehicle of any kind (land, sea, air) for this new age. Technology is advanced, and so is an appreciation of classical design/art/methods. There is no need for any design to counterract aggression - the overwhelming majority of earths vehicles are now designed for luxury and pleasure.
To clarify, one example could be a car based on art deco. The period is roughly 50 years advanced - 2050 or so.
Have fun! Go nuts
Deadline: Once again, a fortnight is about right i think.15 June.

Just a very quick WIP/sketch, I've become addicted to the Industrial Design of the Week, and after my failed initial attempt at domination , have returned to the fray!
Too long have we been promised flying cars, but now in the year 2056, well we still don't have flying cars but we do have anti-gravity hover car/boat/cruisers The Classic Duesenberg Car Company of the early 20th Century 1913-1937, considered to be the height of opulence and luxury is revived to create luxury anti-gravity cruisers for the new socialites. The cruisers hover 3-10' off of the surface and can reach speeds of up to 200mph . Not a lot of thought (well none actually) into this one just having some fun
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the posts from you guys

New World Creation: Designers Wanted Environment of the Week
June 7th, 2006 #13
Actually, I am thinking about a huge air-pleasure boat which takes some references to the 19century structure for monumental winter gardens and also "jardin à la française" you can find in Versailles landscape. Still thinking about the final image and to some details of the design like scale, propulsion which will be in those 4 circles and about all the structure which care this enormeous park. A lots of "clichés" mixed together in order to obtain this historic style. During the Renaissance, architecture took his references in ancient greec civilization so I presume in 2050 or 2100, we shall take some referencies in the 19 century ) (sorry for my bad english, still not confortable with it for my descriptions)

Nice idea's!
Piano.. yours looks alot like Sogbad's
June 9th, 2006 #16
goran - neat idea, the only thing that bothers me is the painted one. it looks odd. like you took the side view and tried to twist and make it look in perspective. i think it would work if your top view didn't show it being so wide.
ferak - i would like to see yours finished that is a really cool idea.
now i have some ideas of my own... i should get concepting now. good luck everyone

Hi all, really digging this site. Being an ID student out on summer break, its nice to find a outlet to keep your skills from rusting up. I hope you enjoy my take on the Peacetime Transport.
DT Motors presents the DT v16 Roadster, the ultimate luxury motorcar, new for 2050. Powered by a classic sixteen-cylinder gasoline driven engine, the DT Roadster delivers an incredibly smooth ride, and unprecedented horsepower. Its uniquely styled chaise is reminiscent of the halcyon days of automotive design, with distinctive details evoking the work of Art Deco era designers such as Walter Dorwin Teague and Raymond Loewy. The DT Roadster represents the ultimate blend of classic style and cutting edge automotive technology to deliver the ultimate luxury driving experince.

Great concepts guys!
Here is mine,
Legend - luxury hover ship for long travels, something like future yacht. After invention of cheap antigravity power-engine, society go at next industrial evolution level. Everything became now more faster and easy, we started prosper like no before. We built huge hyper cities in short time, because antigravity invention helped everywhere. But bigest advance was in means of transport, we made a new era of hi-tech hoverships and antigravity vehicles.

rawwad... very nice. You seem to posess the illusive "sketchy" technique that its so critical for making sweetass looking ID sketches. My stuff is always kind of sloppy, I need to work on my speed while still keeping it tight. Nice work.
June 15th, 2006 #25
Sorry I'm late, I have been working on this a while. I've never used coloured pencils to colour before, so this is my first ever attempt (except when I was 5). Also, a bit dissapointed that it looks a bit like Chuck,Mate's, but oh well.
Any suggestions welcome.

WINNSBORO — The family of four arrived at 6:50 a.m. having made the trek from Wingate, N.C., to Winnsboro. They were bargain hunters participating in the Big Grab, an event in its second year that is garnering regional attention for Fairfield County and the Blythewood area.
Vendors came to Winnsboro from as far away as Ohio, Mississippi, Virginia and Georgia. There also were vendors from Surfside beach as well as sellers from the Midlands area.
The event brought in people from other areas, meaning they had to buy gas and food here so it was a shot in the arm to the local economy.
"The vendors I spoke with were more than pleased with the results," said Terry Vickers, president of the Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce. "Everybody was really pleased with the expanded event and the advertising is what made the big difference, so we appreciate the newspaper for help with that."
She said that First Methodist Church raised over $3,000 for mission outreach and First Baptist Church raised over $700 for its youth program.
"I thought it went great. We got a lot of comments and positive feedback," said Denise Jones, chair of the Chamber board.
She estimated around twice as many people attended this year but said part of that might be due to a longer route.
"I think Winnsboro really stepped it up this year," Jones said. "And things all fell into place near the end (of the preparation)."
She thanked local businesses for sponsoring the Big Grab, which has become an annual event. Jones said the Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce did a lot of hard work to secure advertising and set up tables for the event.
"That help was a lot of work behind the scenes and we could have not done the event without the chamber's leadership and contributions," Jones said.
Vickers said next year it will continue to be the 43-mile loop route and the sale will take place the weekend after Labor Day.

A man near the Golden Gate Bridge who was wearing a head-mounted camera crashed into a deer and it was all caught on footage.
This deer in West Seneca got stuck after the initial 50 or so inches feel in the Snowvember storm!
it's nearly heartbreaking to watch, but we did hear the deer did make it to a clearing!
Remember where you were when you got your first deer? Of course.

If you are sensitive to hunting, this video is NOT for you.
Shocked rollercoaster passengers were showered in blood after a roller coaster in Ripon, England hit a deer that wandered onto the tracks. The deer was decapitated in the instance as the ride reaches maximum speeds of 50 mph
This might be a little ironic, huh?
A couple of guys who seem to be just testing out and playing with their guns in a field get an unexpected visitor--a fawn.
The fawn, who seems to have lost it's way, might be the most bold, adventurous deer on the planet, as it has no problem walking around them even licking the end of the barrel of the one guy's gun
This time of year you might find leaves or sticks in your backyard pool before you close it for the season.Imagine walking out to find a deer swimming around.
I guess they were running a little late...
It's Friday during rush hour in San Fransisco and you're stuck in traffic on one of the longest bridges in the world. Before you do a double-take, you wish you were one of the two deer trotting by your car that's standing still
I don't know who I am more in love with, the deer or the guy.

While it is commonly thought that men with low IQs sexually offend because of a lack of knowledge or sexual deviance, new research has found the men may sexually offend because of their exposure to corrective sex education previously taken.
A team of North American researchers compared two samples of individuals with and without an intellectual disability and a history of sexual offence and found that sexual offenders with intellectual disability who had committed a serious sexual offence, such as rape or pedophilia, actually demonstrated a greater sexual knowledge than non-offenders. This increased sexual knowledge may be from "corrective" sex education that the offender was given in the past. It can then be concluded that the higher level of knowledge of those who had committed some form of sexual offence was the direct result of their exposure to formal or informal sex education.
The data indicates that there may be two categories of persons with intellectual disabilities that sexually offend: Individuals who are knowledgeable and who offend in more serious ways and Individuals who appear to have a lack of sexual knowledge and whose offence may be the result of that lack of knowledge. The latter is termed counterfeit deviance.
"We simply cannot treat all sex offenders as 'counterfeit deviant' and excuse their behavior as a result of inadequate knowledge," says Shelley Watson, a graduate student from the University of Alberta. "We need to establish whether sex education is needed as an element of a comprehensive treatment package."
As supported in this study, people with intellectual disability were also found to be typically very conservative when it came to sexual attitudes. However, the researchers found that serious sex offenders actually expressed much more liberal attitudes when it came to sex, including same-sex relationships, than sex offenders who only committed sexual inappropriate behaviors, such as public ma
