US consumer prices rise 0.4 percent in May
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer prices increased in May by the largest amount in more than a year as the cost of food and gasoline showed big gains and airline fares jumped by the largest amount in 15 years.
The consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in May, the biggest one-month jump since a 0.6 percent increase in February 2013, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.
Over the past 12 months, consumer prices are up 2.1 percent. While that was the biggest 12-month price change since October 2012, it still left prices rising at a pace near the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. But analysts said the May price jump, double what had been expected, would get the attention of Fed policymakers, who were starting a two-day meeting on Tuesday.
"The Fed will have to acknowledge in tomorrow's policy statement that price pressures are growing," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "The chances that it will raise interest rates before the middle of next year are increasing."
"We're seeing more signs that the days of low inflation are behind us," said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. She said the drought in California pushed fruit prices up and a drought in Brazil was to blame for higher coffee prices.
Excluding volatile food and energy, core inflation was up 0.3 percent in May, the biggest one-month gain since August 2011. Over the past 12 months, core prices are up 2 percent.
The 0.4 percent May price rise reflected gains in a number of areas. Food costs were up 0.5 percent, the largest increase since a similar gain in August 2011. Food costs have been driven higher this year by an unusually harsh winter and a drought in California.
Energy costs were up 0.9 percent in May, the biggest one-month gain since December. Gasoline prices increased 0.7 percent last month.
Outside of food and energy, there were widespread price pressures as well. Airline tickets were up 5.8 percent in May, the biggest one-month gain since July 1999. The cost of clothing, prescription drugs and new cars all showed increases in May.
Even with the May price increases, inflation is still advancing at moderate rates around the 2 percent target set by the Federal Reserve, which has the job of managing interest rates to foster stable prices and maximum employment.
Low inflation has allowed the Fed to keep interest rates exceptionally low in an effort to boost economic growth without having to worry about inflation getting out of hand. A measure of inflation preferred by the Fed that is tied to consumer spending patterns has been running below the Fed's target of 2 percent for the past two years.
The central bank was meeting Tuesday and Wednesday with Fed officials widely expected to keep a key short-term rate at a record low near zero. The Fed is not expected to begin increasing that rate for another year.
While it is the Fed's job to keep inflation from rising too quickly, it also watches to make sure that prices do not rise too slowly. That can signal a weak economy and generate further weakness as consumers stop buying big-ticket items in hopes that prices will fall further.

Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a paramedic. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and certification options to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Paramedics provide medical attention to ill or injured individuals on emergency scenes. They are the highest level of emergency medical technicians, and working as a paramedic most often requires the completion of a certificate or associate's degree program. All paramedics must be certified; many states accept the certification available through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). Paramedics work in paid positions or on a voluntary basis for emergency medical services, fire departments, police departments and other organizations.
|Required Education
|Completion of a paramedic training program; many such programs lead to a certificate or associate's degree
|Licensing required in all states; many states use the certification exam proctored by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT)
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|23% for emergency medical technicians and paramedics*
|Median Salary (May 2013)

Career Options for Paramedics
Paramedics are high-level emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Paramedics working in metropolitan areas typically work in conjunction with ambulance services, hospitals and local government. Paramedics in rural areas typically work on a volunteer basis in conjunction with local emergency services, fire departments and hospitals. Employment opportunities are best for paramedics who have received advanced training. Advanced training may include continuing education.
Paramedics can also work as managers, supervisors and directors of emergency services. Although additional training is required, many nurses and doctors often start out as paramedics.
Duties and Responsibilities
What paramedics are allowed to do varies by individual states. Paramedics often work with police and firefighters on emergency scenes to provide immediate medical attention to sick or injured individuals. Paramedics examine the condition of the patient while on the scene; administer oral and intravenous medications if necessary; operate heart monitors, defibrillators and other equipment; transport patients to medical facilities and interpret readings recorded by heart monitoring devices. They also perform endotracheal procedures and relay important information to emergency room staff. Paramedics must clean any areas that may have become contaminated from patients with communicable diseases, check to make sure equipment is functioning properly before being called out to the next emergency, replace used supplies and make a record of the entire trip.
Paramedics often work in team environments. One paramedic may drive the ambulance while another paramedic tends to the medical needs of the injured individual en route to the hospital or medical facility. Paramedics may also work with helicopter flight crews, helping to transport seriously ill or injured patients to nearby trauma centers. Because emergency medical services and facilities operate round-the-clock, many paramedics are required to work overtime and commit to evening and weekend hours.

KELLY PAVLIK: When I am training in Youngstown I stay at my parents house. They keep track of my food, etc. It is kind of being away, but its not because my wife comes over and the kids come over but I am not at home. It really wasnt hard to go away this time because we had the whole summer off and we needed to just to get into the boxing mode. If I didnt have that time off it would have been more difficult. Its not like I am in Las Vegas or Florida, California, Pennsylvania is just outside Pittsburgh -- a two-hour drive from home, but it is secluded and isolated, but close enough so I could come home and see my wife and kids. We come home on Saturday and leave Sunday afternoon.
Weight issues for the last fight
KELLY PAVLIK: We had to eat but it was the working out the five times a day that made me cranky because it drained me. The weight factor was a huge issue. I was dehydrated and that didnt help the weight-cutting factor. Then I had to re-hydrate the day of the fight with IVs. I dont like to harp on it too much but put it this way. We got to Atlantic City on Wednesday and we were still trying to dry out. We were still at 170 and usually at that time you try to go to a sauna or steam room to sweat out the remaining weight. On Thursday we were at 167 and on Friday morning we were still at 164 and depleted nothing to dry out. We called a doctor and he said to go into ice water then to a sauna, to try to open the pours up and that didnt work so we had to resort to running. Starting on Wednesday night to Friday morning I ran 17.5 miles just to burn calories because we couldnt sweat.
We got a bike up to the room and my wife would wake me up at 2 AM to ride and I would burn 280 calories then go back to bed so my body would continue to burn calories. It is what it is but I cant blame the fight on the weight because we knew what we were getting into. We knew going into camp at 193 pounds, all muscle weight, we probably shouldnt have taken the fight with only seven weeks so it all comes into play and its as much our fault as anything else. So for this fight there was not much weight training, but when I stay active, my body gains muscle weight, but this time I didnt touch a weight or play basketball. I just took the summer off and relaxed.
Right now everything is back. The snap of the punches is back. Every time I got into the ring. Before when I got into the ring, it was how fast we could get out of the ring to get to the speed and agility class to burn more calories off. Our main concern was, not training for the fight. The shortest time of the day was the boxing gym training for Martinez.
Now I just get to train. When I get out of bed to eat breakfast, I am staring at the boxing ring. I go the bathroom and its the ring. Its nothing but boxing. The fun part of the week is on Friday nights we go to Wal-Mart and walk around or drive 20 minutes away to go the a bowling alley that has five lanes. We needed that for four weeks to get that mentality and to be able to focus on Vera and not the weight.
We will see what unfolds. Right now 160 pounds is not out of the question. Before I go back to 160 pounds, we are going to bring in one of the top nutritionists out there that has worked with boxers. I want them to say, If you follow my routine, you can make 160. Or they may say if I am 160 I will not be healthy or strong. If they tell me that, then it wont be at 160. First it has to be a meaningful fight. If it is not at 160 it will be at 168, which is filled. That is why we took this fight which is right between, at 164, so we still know what route to take.
I am only interested in big fights. Ive been fighting for 10 years and was middleweight champ for 3 years. I am not interested in taking tune-up fights. I only want the big fights. I jumped up two weight classes to fight Bernard Hopkins who is the most experienced fighter out there who is still fighting. I fought Jermain Taylor in the rematch at 166 and he was top dog and who was doing well in the Super 6 until the last couple rounds. I am not at the point of my career where I need tune-up fights or stepping-stones. Ive been there and done that. After we take care of the Vera fight, we will see what unfolds at middleweight or super middleweight.
Bute is a good fighter. I dont think he is as fast or elusive as Martinez but he is a sneaky puncher and a good body puncher. But he hasnt fought the top guys yet at super middleweight and when he does that, like Kessler, he can make a statement for himself. Right now he is doing what he has to do against the guys that he is fighting and doing it in good fashion.
Right now everything is good with the weight and Brian Vera is a tough kid and will not back down. We have to go in there and be impressive to begin the road back.
JACK LOEW: We went back to basics. Running and boxing. Everything has been good, the weight it good and we have had great sparring. We are excited about getting back on the mat and fighting at Cowboys Stadium.
Had you been distracted after winning the titles?
KELLY PAVLIK: No, we lost a couple of fights, which all fighters lose. The top guys now have five losses. I had problems with the weight the last fight and thats not getting away from it, thats just gaining too much weight in between fights. I have to stay busy. Its not the distractions; its just how you bounce back. I was middleweight champion and that is nothing that can be taken away from me, but I definitely want to get back the middleweight titles and that is enough motivation right there.
Where do you consider yourself mentally and physically right now?
KELLY PAVLIK: I lost a fight, big whoopee. I will say over and over, it is what it is. Great fighters lose fights. It is how you bounce back and I didnt lose any confidence. I know what happened in the fight and now what I need to do from now on and it is a learning experience.
Is it humbling to be now fighting on an undercard?
KELLY PAVLIK: Humbling? It is what it is. I lost the titles. If I was on an undercard of someone other than Pacquiao I would be a little concerned. Pacquiao is the main guy in the sport right now and there is nothing you can do about that. As long as I am co-main event it is not a big problem.
What weight are you looking at in the future?
KELLY PAVLIK: You take it one fight at a time. Vera is a game fighter and well see how it unfolds. Well see whats out there and make the move from there. The only way to make 160 again is to get a nutritionist, a boxing nutritionist that knows what a fighter goes through a couple days before a fight. He can evaluate me. He may say at 160 I will be healthy or he may say at 160 I may not have the energy that I need. That is what will happen first.
What is in your heart of hearts?
KELLY PAVLIK: I definitely want to regain the middleweight titles but any title is good. Super middleweight
whatever big fights are out there. I was middleweight champ for three years and I dont want to be in a situation of rebuilding. The fans want to see big fights and thats what Im here for and thats what I want to do. I have thought about Bute and the other guys at super middleweight and there are a bunch of guys at middleweight. Youve got the IBF champ, youve got Felix Sturm and you have the winner of Williams vs. Martinez. It is endless in both weight classes and anything can open up.
Bute is a good fighter but I havent seen him fight the competition that is happening in the tournament. He fights like Martinez but Martinez is quicker and moves a little more. Hes a sneaky body puncher and he is winning like hes supposed to do against the guys he is fighting like he is supposed to do.
JACK LOEW: As long as he can make 160 and be healthy we are fine with that. There are a lot of good fights at 160 or 168. I liked Arthur Abraham fight. There are a lot of attractions at 160. Sylvester and Sturm, but wherever he is comfortable. I still think he can be a dominant middleweight.
Would you have been able to make 160 this time?
KELLY PAVLIK: I think so but we would have had to bring somebody in before I would have made that move. But it would have had to be a meaningful fight too. Taking nothing away from Vera, but it is not a title fight so it is pointless right now.
What about your dad?
KELLY PAVLIK: My dad has been with me my whole career, but it comes down to more than what you are eating. I need a nutritionist. They would know what my body needs for the training I am doing. This fight being at 164, those four pounds make a world of difference. Those four pounds would make a difference of me having to run six miles on a treadmill before a fight. Before the last fight there was nothing left to sweat and I just had to burn calories.
JACK LOEW: We had to get back to basics. We were burning this kid out. We were training four or five times a day and it was because of the weight. We trained more for the weight than we did for Martinez. We beat him down for seven weeks then we killed him the week of the fight. We were wondering what round we would hit that wall and we did hit that wall and it coast us the fight. We have to watch our fights and stay a little active in between fights. As long as Kelly watches his weight and we watch Kelly watch his weight we are going to be fine. He came into camp in good shape and his weight was already down. We are going to need a fresh Kelly Pavlik in there and thats what we are going to have.
This time we didnt go 300 miles away; we only went two hours away. It was good for Kelly and myself and the camp went a whole lot better. On Saturdays we can go home to see his wife and kids and leave on Sunday morning. Hes happy and Im happy.
The last fight I knew we were going to have a tough time in the first few rounds trying to figure him out and we did. After rounds 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 if you check the scorecards we were right back in the fight. Everything was starting to play our way then we hit that wall. It wasnt so much what Martinez did it was just what we didnt do.
Much has been said about changing the team
JACK LOEW: I think a lot of that was taken out of context. They took a minor thing that Kellys dad had said and they blew it up. We are 36-2 and we were the middleweight champ and we grew up together. If I really thought that being a friend of Kellys and being loyal and close to Kelly that it was something wrong that I did I would have been man enough to ask for help. Everything is going great and everyone will see that there is no dissension in Team Pavlik.
KELLY PAVLIK: That was blown out of proportion and when it hits the media it gets blown up. My dad is my dad and when he said something it got blown up.
Have you gone away from the tires and the chains?
JACK LOEW: To tell you the truth, we did go back to that. We stayed off the weights but have done everything except flip the tires, which was really tough on Kellys back because he is such a tall kid. Weve done the chains and flipping ropes. We did get away from that and more with the weight but we have gone back to some of the old stuff we had done.
KELLY PAVLIK: We didnt get too far away from it. But you have to remember; some training is made for certain styles of fights. Miranda was good for that because he was a strong come-forward guy and he couldnt fight going backwards so our game plan was to push him back and to do that we had to be as strong as possible. The same goes for the Taylor fight. We never totally moved away from it but now we are back to the things that build natural weight. Right now everything is great. My snap is back and everything is falling into place.
Do you feel as though you have trouble with lateral movement fighters?
KELLY PAVLIK: As much as I have heard that question, if I had lost to a guy that was a puncher then people would say that I couldnt beat a slugger anymore. It is a no-win situation. In the middle of the fight I was beating Martinez. I was out-counterpunching him but nothing was said about that though. Opinions are opinions and you cant change that. I won three national titles as an amateur and that is all boxing. I went to Olympic trials, where you dont knock people out, you have to outbox them. I outboxed Jermain Taylor, who was a boxer with hand speed and won a decision without knocking him out in the second fight. Then I lose to Hopkins and Martinez then all the sudden Pavlik cant beat anybody that has lateral movement. When the time comes and we beat another slick fighter we will see.
When was the last time you were co-main event?
KELLY PAVLIK: It was actually the Miranda fight. It is not disappointing. It is Cowboy Stadium. It is going to be a huge crowd and Manny Pacquiao is the hot shot. Right now I couldnt say I would sell more tickets but if I get the titles back then it would be something different. I have to go in there and look sharp and be crowd-pleasing and go from there.
What about the fact that this is a great undercard?
KELLY PAVLIK: This could be a trend. There have been a lot of great fights in the last year and a half, especially with the Super 6 going on and we hope that the top fighters will fight the their top names. When you keep packing cards like this it is great for boxing. It could be something that gets it going again.
KELLY PAVLIK: Guys get too much pride to go on an undercard. For me I think it is still great exposure. There are going to still be 60 to 70,000 + people in the stands. At home there are going to be millions of people watching on TV and there is going to be the co-main event and the main event. Just because I am the com-main event doesnt mean I am degraded. Its something I have to do and its going to be a hell of a card. I got no complaints.

Bad new: I didn'T find the game anywhere in the WWW, dammit should bought it earlyier... but i have totally forgotten about it :(
Where can I buy the game when your site is down?
Shattered Origins is no longer available for purchase anywhere because of conflicts with the game's publisher.
So only from not so legal sites? thats awful.
Yes, this is very unfortunate. What I dislike the most is that you cannot get the latest patch from anywhere, as the official servers are down too, so all content that was added to the game after its release is lost :(
And you don't have a backup of it? :/
I only have a backup of the full version of Shattered Origins in its entirety, patched to the latest version, but not of the individual patches themselves. People who purchased the game or acquire it somewhere else cannot update to the latest patch, and I'm not allowed to release the game again (not even for free) because of the contract with the publisher.
we need to find another buyer whos have the final patch and then he could secretly send it to anoter and another and all that ******** (util someones get tired and get it to torrent to to another ilegal way like that) just like happen to almost every good game... by the way i just found out there was the post morten one in a russian page, just saying
Yeah, that was what I'm thinking of it. Copyright can be a really Pain, even for Developers. Thanks for your answers.
(I wanted to make A LP in sometime - but i have anyway so much planned Projects)
Your website is not working.
Amúgy vágjatok csak oda a Call of Duty 17nek!
That's correct, the development of Shattered Origins is over and our collaboration with our publisher was not as fruitful as we have hoped. However, we are already working on our next project with a new publisher/funder, and hopefully it will turn out even better.

The Alta Design Team at Apogee worked hard over a two year period to bring this advanced degree of integration and performance to the astronomy market. Alta has set new standards for imaging performance, connectivity, cooling, compactness, cost effectiveness, and the elimination of external support electronics. Like the AP and KX series, Alta is a platform, not a CCD or specific interface type. It is designed for a variety of CCDs, ranging from the smallest to those measuring 36mm on a side with 4096 x 4096 arrays.
So many improvements in such a small package: No more external controllers, plug-in cards, or frame grabbers. Dual digitization for high precision plus high speed focus. On-board camera memory for fast local sequences and no worries about transfer interruptions. Time delayed integration for imaging far beyond the size of the sensor. A single 12V power input for optional battery-powered operation. In addition, the Apogee Alta U Series cameras have dual digitization, 12 and 16 bit. The 12 bit mode is intended primarily as a focus mode.
Alta U Series cameras are available with a wide variety of sensors, including: Back-illuminated sensors with very high quantum efficiency, some with sensitivity in the deep UV; Interline transfer sensors with fast electronic shuttering and inherent anti-blooming; front-illuminated CCDs with high sensitivity in the near-IR without etaloning. In general, the larger the pixel size, the higher the dynamic range. Smaller pixels (about 7 microns) are typically used for microscopy (U32; U2000; U4000); larger pixels and larger arrays are typically used for astronomy (U42, U47 back-illuminated; U16M, U9000, U6 front-illuminated).
Apogee Alta Scientific Imaging Systems means you'll get High Speed, low noise, 16/12 bit dual digitization to 7 MHz, TEC cooling to >75C. Lifetime warranty on CCD chamber seal. Fast USB 2.0 advanced I/O control. The Apogee Alta imaging systems represent cost effective advanced imaging technology not found anywhere else. The Alta platform currently supports 11 different housing configurations, including high cooling, wide entrance angle, and low profile variants, many with a choice of fans or liquid circulation.
Apogee Alta U16M Highlights
- 4096 x 4096 array, 9 x 9 micron pixels
- 5 MHz 12-bit and 1 MHz 16-bit digitization
- 32 Mbyte camera memory
- USB 2.0 interface: no plug in cards or external controllers
- Programmable, intelligent cooling to 45C below ambient (D07 housing) / 65-70C below ambient (D09 housing)
- Binning up to 8 Horizontal x 4095 Vertical
- Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes
- Precision time delayed integration readout
- Programmable fan speed for low / zero vibration
- Two serial port outputs for control of peripheral devices
- General purpose programmable I/O port
- External triggering and strobe controls
- ActiveX drivers included with every system (other software sold separately)
- Field upgradeable firmware
- Self-test capability with data simulators
- Fused silica windows
- Runs from single 12V supply with input voltage monitor
- Compact enclosure
- Programmable status indicators
About the Kodak KAF-16803 Sensor
The Kodak KAF-16803 image sensor is a redesigned version of the popular KAF-16801E image sensor (4096 x 4096 pixel resolution) with enhancements that specifically target the needs of high performance digital radiography applications. Improvements include enhanced quantum efficiency for improved DQE at higher spatial frequencies, lower noise for improved contrast in areas of high density, and anti-blooming protection to prevent image bleed from over exposure in regions outside the patient.
Utilizing Kodak's proprietary single gate ITO process and micro-lens technology, the KAF-16803 image sensor with its large imaging area and small pixel size provides the sensitivity, resolution and contrast necessary for high quality digital radiographs. To simplify device integration, the KAF-16803 image sensor uses the same pin-out and package as the KAF-16801E image sensor.

Yesterday I was down at the new old boat doing some work while my 6 year old son explored the boat and dock. Everything was going great when suddenly I heard a scream form down below. He had brushed his hand against the window frame and one of the bolt ends had been hacksawed off and not filed smooth. It was a minor cut, but freaked both of us out at first. He had made cookies with his mother earlier that day and had red food coloring all over both hands.
Anyway, the new 'top of list' project is finding and removing all the sharp edges on my boat. any tips? I'm guessing running my hands over all the possible places these could occur with a set of gloves is in order.
As a more or less experienced adult I can pretty much avoid most possibilities myself, but now I'm paranoid about guests.

After a failed bypass and angioplasty, doctors at SL Raheja Hospital successfully treated a 63-year-old man who again landed in hospital with a blocked artery. The doctors used four stents to clear just one blockage.
Haripandit Devkar, a Mahim resident, had blocked artery since 2004. "When he came to us, he was not able to walk for even 10 metres and felt breathless. He had undergone a bypass and angioplasty but both had failed," said Dr Harish Mehta, cardiologist.
Mehta added that Devkar approached the doctors who had performed the bypass and angioplasty but they refused to help him further. "They said Devkar was a high-risk patient and, therefore, going for any procedure will risk his life. His daily routine was getting affected," said Mehta.
Devkar has been a diabetic for the past 15 years. Mehta said uncontrolled diabetes and bad luck led to the recurrent artery blockage problem. "Taking his age into consideration and his condition of having had a bypass and angioplasty, this surgery was challenging on many levels. With four stents now fixed, we have reversed the blockage and eased the blood flow," he added.
In 2004, Devkar had suffered a heart attack and had to undergo a bypass surgery for total blockage in his left coronary artery. Nine years later, in 2013, he had a second heart attack for which he underwent an angioplasty of the right coronary artery, wherein one stent was fixed. Two-three months post-surgery, he began experiencing pain and discomfort. He was constantly fatigued, depressed and had low appetite.
His earlier routine would include daily morning and evening walks. But with the pain and discomfort post angioplasty, he was unable to continue his routine.
In January 2014, angiography revealed that his right coronary artery was completely blocked despite the angioplasty. The lining of the artery had covered the stent and was blocking the blood circulation completely.
Devkar was discharged after four days and now is back to his routine. He has regained his appetite, started his daily walks and is now cheerful.

03.06.04 - By Elliot Worsell & Gavin Macleod: Well-schooled Lightweight, Lee Macho Man Meager 16-0 (6 KO's) equalled the margin of victory conjured up by domestic rival Dynamite Dean Phillips, as he dominated teak tough Kenyan Michael Muya 9-6 (2 KO's) over 8 rounds, running out a 78-75 victor.
It was a workmanlike, ultra professional performance from Meager, as he effortlessly shifted through the gears, and proved to have far too much variation and natural ability for the rugged and lanky Kenyan. Muyas last fight was merely two weeks ago, and there were worries from numerous sections that a cut he suffered in that contest may resurface in the heat of battle against Meager. The cut required numerous stitches, but thankfully didnt rear its ugly head against Meager.
Ultimately, what did rear its head, much to the disapproval of Muya, were the fast fists of Lee Meager. Meager came out popping the jab into the face of the tall Kenyan, and forced the pace and tempo of the affair throughout. He introduced body shots as the fight progressed in an attempt to stop Muya retreating, and eventually slow the robust African down. As early as the third round Muya was occasionally dropping his gloves, backing to the ropes, and shooting glances towards Meager and his own corner. Although never seriously hurt, Muya was being deterred by Salford mans workaholic approach to his art. A nicely picked left hook to the body from Meager in the 4th also appeared to bring about some form of reaction from Muya, as he found himself being outworked on the inside, as Meager came weaving in. The ability to use good head movement and slip incoming counters is a portion of Meagers game that was extremely impressive in Nottingham.
Muya had occasional success when Meager let his defences slip inside, and the Kenyan shot some raking right hands and left hooks in but on the whole, the ever thinking Meager was ticking over, sussing out ways to contain Muya. A quality right uppercut from Meager in the 7th caught the renowned jaw of Muya flush, and momentarily staggered him Meager, sensing a surprise stoppage win could be in the offing stepped on the gas and worked Muya over to head and body. Muya deserved to see the final bell though, and despite a busy and excitable last round from Meager, was always in there pitching, chucking leather in Lees direction in the hope of clasping the winning ticket. It never came though, and Meager was rightly awarded a comprehensive 78-75 points verdict.
Walker scrapes through another unwelcome war
Bermondsey brawler David Kid Dynamite Walker 21-2-1 (10 KO's) cut a sad figure as he narrowly scraped by modest pro Kevin Phelan 6-3 (1 KO) over six rounds. The 27 year old Walker, a decent ABA champion as an amateur, and a European title challenger as a professional, looked confident and upbeat enough going in, but just couldnt get to grips with the gangly, up right style of his opponent and found himself in a position hes seemingly got used to throughout his four year career. Up against it.
Credit must therefore go to Phelan, who looked quite classy at times, as he pinged back the bruised and battered head of Walker with flashy uppercuts. Walker was rolling and ducking, in an attempt to get within range and unload bombs on Phelan. But in truth, these were the wrong tactics. Cut badly, high on the forehead, as early as the second round, Walker was always facing an uphill struggle. By taking such a gung-ho approach to his duty, he was always liable to get caught and hurt by the bigger man, growing in confidence once the sight of claret filled up the frail features of Walker.
In the third, with trainer Rob McCracken demanding Walker to get behind his jab and box and move, Phelan took it upon himself to make a substantial mark on the former two times Southern Area titleholder, in the form of a cracking right uppercut, left hook combination that dipped and wobbled the battle worn legs of Walker. Walker, of course, participant in so many domestic wars, had been there before, and even in the face of such adversity, was all heart and determination. He fired back at Phelan with some heavy looking right hands, one in particular that shook up the lanky Slough based light middleweight and had the knowledgeable Nottingham crowd up on their feet.
Ultimately, Walkers superior work rate and will to win saw him successfully through the finishing line. Though it was mighty close. The last session was fought at a ferocious pace, with both combatants informed that they needed a big round to claim victory in a close battle. Walker, fighting through a blurry shield of black, blue and red, dragged himself towards the points win, as he took the fight to Phelan and out landed the 26 year old with decent right and left hooks as they wailed away in close.
The ever-exciting Walker was given the fight by a 59-57 points margin, but knew hed made harder work of Phelan than need be. The recurring image of David Walker sitting ringside, faced minced up following a gruelling, great for TV fight, watching his Hennessy Sports team-mates duke it out, is not a pretty sight. Walkers often commended for his many enthralling domestic battles, but what is deemed great for TV Networks, is by no means healthy for David Walker.
Barrett out guns Down to win decision
Former Irish amateur star Francis Barrett 15-2 (2) won a unanimous ten round decision over the Brendan Ingle trained Gavin Down 28-4 (13) to claim the lesser regarded European Union Light-welterweight title in what was a fantastic toe-to-toe slugfest.
The fight set off at a furious pace with Barrett coming straight out and landing three big shots which immediately forced Down to hold on. After getting on his bike Down was able to regain his bearings and got behind his boxing, continually landing counter rights against the continually incoming southpaw Barrett. On the occasions he missed Barrett, he was subjected to a ponding on the inside as barrett just kept the fists punching.
Rounds two and three were split, with Barrett's workrate and aggression forcing Down to the ropes throughout the second hence rendering Down's jab and long reach ineffective. As DOwn would flick out a jab he would sit on his heels just a moment too soon enabling Barrett to walk him down and unleash a high volume of shots. In round three however, Down found more success from the outside as he slammed home a left hook followed by a perfect straight right that briefly halted barrett in his tracks. Indeed the shot was one of the best of the night and while Down's power is not exactly world class, credit should be given to the tremendous chin that barrett possess.
Four and five went to Barrett, outworking Down who was now marked up under his left eye and bleeding from the nose. It seemed that no matter what Down landed Barrett could just press on through it before landing good shots of his own. It now felt as though Barrett was in control but in a testament to how much Down wanted the title, he came back to claim round six. With Barrett waving in Down he found himself on the end of a swift right uppercut-left hook combination that sent him staggering into Gavin. And with that the sixth ended and people were wondering which way the contest would swing in the seventh.
The following rounds proved that the sixth was Down's last stand. Throughout the next four rounds he would be worn down by Barrett, who was now working more effectively to the bidy, most notably with the left hook which was chipping away at Down's resilience for the rest of the night. Looking ever more tired it was evident that the fight had already been won by the tenth but Down tried to summon up everything he had left in the hope of turning the tide. Standing to trade with Barrett he could not match the punch output coming his way and was fighting the lactic acid in his arms as well as the rugged lefty who stood before him. In the end it was a thrilling contest which was scored 97-94 by all three judges with British Eastsides card reading 98-93 in Barretts favour.
Cadman blows away awkward Ani in two rounds
Waltham Abbey Middleweight Daniel Cadman 6-0 (2 KOs) appears to be reaping the rewards of newly discovered punch power. After four straight points victories to kick off his pro career, hes since smoked capable journeymen Mike Duffield, and now Joel Ani in one and two rounds respectively.
Following a slight delay, due to queries regarding the length of the contest, Cadman and Ani settled down into their four rounder, and Cadman was quickly in command. Upright, but with a crisp jab and impressive shot selection, the former Repton representative was picking Ani off in between his opponents wild, uncultured swings.
Ani recently gave Leicester banger Martin Concepcion a decent tussle over 3 rounds, flooring the Leicester prospect in the first. However, Cadman wasnt in the mood for being messed around by the unorthodox Tottenham based spoiler, and stamped his authority on him decisively in the second round. Following an untidy scene to begin the round, with Ani tripping up and bringing Cadman down with him in a heap, the young Hennessy prospect displayed serious intentions as he got back to his feet. Starching Ani with a solitary right hand aimed high on the temple. Ani crashed on the floor, and should be commended for trying to get to his feet. Trying being the operative word. Anis legs betrayed him, and the proud Nigerian born fighter endured a couple more tumbles before pulling himself upright from where the referee duly waved the contest over.
Results roundup -
Light welterweight: Talented amateur John ODonnell, making only his second pro appearance, out pointed tough veteran David Hines over four rounds. Southpaw ODonnell, a two times Jr. ABA champion, was in control throughout the contest, showing impressive variation and shot selection to head and body. The youngest professional in the UK swept every round and claimed a 40-36 points win.
Light welterweight: Young Manchester talent John Murray notched up his sixth win from six starts against Nobby Nobbs journeyman Anthony Hanna, taking a clear cut 40-36 points win over the four scheduled rounds. Murray was commanding from the outset, and even hurt the ever dependable and super durable Hanna on various occasions throughout the fight.
Light Heavyweight: English champion Steve Spartacus 16-1 (9) bounced back from his shock defeat to Ovill McKenzie last time out to blow away the usually game journeyman Varuzhan Davytan in one round. Spartacus brushed through his challengers attempts to start a jab contest before landing a deadly straight right hand which promptly dumped Davytan on the seat of his pants. He rose at 8 and the fight was waved on but Spartacus caught Daytan in the corner and thudded home a bludgeoning right hook downstairs which crumpled the Aremnian where he stood. It was at this point that the fight was waved off. Afterwards Spartacus shouted down to the press row "Who's else has done that to him!?" in reference to his first round win.
Cruiserweight: Coleman Barrett, cousin of Francis, kept up his winning record, now 3-0, by winning a comfortable 60-54 decision over Terry Morrill in a contest made for six two minute rounds. Morrill offered little in reply to Barrett's speed and punch variety but Barrett will need to find a knockout punch from somewhere if he is to make a real impact on the 190lb scene.

Hands On Video Relay Services to Provide First Live Webcast of Presidential Forum Focused on the Disabled.
ROCKLIN, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, two groups who share a vision will join together to support hundreds in the deaf community be a part of the 2008 presidential electoral process. This historic forum, hosted by Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc., and a coalition of prestigious New Hampshire disability advocacy and rights organizations, will focus on the political issues of particular interest to the disabled community. Hands On, a prominent and growing provider of video relay services, joins the National Association for the Deaf and Granite State Independent Living as lead sponsors of this event.
The Presidential Candidate Forum will be held on Friday, November 2nd at the Center of New Hampshire/Radisson Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The forum will be available via free streaming video on the Hands On VRS web site (http://www.hovrs.com/)
Confirmed participants include Senator Joe Biden, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Chris Dodd, and Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Other presidential candidates invited to participate in the forum (in alphabetical order) are: Senator John Edwards, Senator Mike Gravel, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Governor Mike Huckabee, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator John McCain, Congressman Ron Paul, Governor Mitt Romney, Congressman Tom Tancredo and Senator Fred Thompson.
"Hands On is excited and honored to be part of the first-ever Presidential Candidate Forum designed specifically for Americans with disabilities," said Ronald Obray, chief executive officer and founder of Hands On VRS. "Opportunities like these support our mission and help us bring technology and free streaming live access to the 50 million citizens in the United States living with disabilities, thereby helping to break down political barriers. Our participation is part of our sustained commitment to provide open access to everyone. The disabled community will now be able to have a strong voice and role in the 2008 election process."
"There are more than 50 million citizens in the United States living with disabilities, add to that their family, friends, educators, and caregivers and this represents a huge percentage of the voting population," said Clyde Terry, Chief Executive Office of Granite State Independent Living -- host of this year's forum who held a similar forum for the 2004 presidential election. "This forum will help inform and awaken this 'sleeping giant' of the electorate."
The Presidential Candidate Forum will feature 30 minute time slots for each presidential candidate to present his or her vision for the future of national disability policy that will promote equality and opportunity for people with disabilities. Issues each candidate will be asked to address include: employment, health care, long-term community-based supports, transportation, and others. Following their remarks, each candidate will be asked questions by the moderator gathered from the audience.
The number of registered voters with disabilities has dramatically increased over the last decade, making them one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. electorate, and could serve as an important voting bloc in the early primary states.

Lumbar spine MRI in upright position for diagnosing acute and chronic low back pain: statistical analysis of morphological changes

Patients with low back pain frequently demonstrate recumbent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alterations not always related to homogeneous clinical symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and quantify the statistical significance of variations of some anatomical parameters of the lumbosacral spine and reveal occult disc pathologies from recumbent to upright position in patients with acute and chronic low back pain.
Materials and methods
Fifty-seven patients complaining of low back pain (27 women, 30 men) underwent dynamic lumbosacral MRI with a 0.25-T tilting system (G-scan Esaote). We settled five parameters for which variations have been evaluated: lumbosacral angle, lordosis angle, L3–L4 intersomatic disc height, L3–L4 interspinous processes distance, and widest anteroposterior dural sac diameter. Images were obtained in both recumbent and upright positions.
Statistically significant differences [one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), p = 0.0043] were found between each pair of values of parameters sampled in recumbent and upright positions. In 70 % of patients, on visual qualitative analysis only, an increment of disc protrusions and/or spondylolisthesis was found in the upright position; in three cases, in the upright position only, an interarticular pseudocyst was found.
Dynamic MRI with an open-configuration, low-field tilting MRI system is a feasible and promising tool to study degenerative pathology of the spine. Moreover, in cases of low back pain with negative MRI in the recumbent position or in patients with pain in the upright position only, tilting MRI permits visualization of occult spine and disc pathologies in patients with acute or chronic low back pain.

Couldn't book and when we showed up, there was a long queue. A couple of ladies in front groaned when told of 40 min wait. I thought i would wait......and 5 mins later, i got a table. The ladies left of course. The menu is really funky and funny. The food, well, i guess you come here for the burgers. Almost every single plate dished out was a burger. The portions are huge so don't over order. The cocktails menu is extensive as well.

Passes in a landslide
The Conservative Movement's Committee on Jewish Laws and Standards has just—as in within the last few hours—passed a responsum (a rabbinical ruling) on same sex weddings including a template and model for a wedding ceremony and for marriage dissolutions. The motion passed, according to Amichai Lau-Lavie, the founding director of Storah Telling Inc., with 13 voting yes and one abstaining.
It was a dry, legalistic moment with but little smiles, a matter of business almost – and the meeting was adjourned immediately after. But I had tears in my eyes, the only gay man sitting in that room full of rabbis who were directly dealing with MY life and hopefully future ceremony – or at least the ones I'll be leading…. 'No trumpets!' I said to one other student sitting next to me in the back of the room. "Pretend" he told me. And I did. And it was beautiful, like the joyful noise right after the groom breaks the glass.
Lau-Lavie goes into some of the nitty-gritty of the ruling and the contentions around them. Some of it is over my head, but the new model includes the original language of the 7 blessings, while other matters, like the language of the vows, are still being ironed out. Either way, first enjoy the Mazel Tovs because as Lau-Lavie notes, the rest is just details.

Rio Networks Provides Phone and Network Services to Pacific Real Estate Management Group
Rio Networks provides Internet, phone and data services to Pacific Real Estate Management Group (PREMG), a northwest-based property management company.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) October 19, 2012
Rio Networks, a locally owned and operated data, phone and cloud services provider in Oregon, today announced it is providing Internet, phone and data services to Pacific Real Estate Management Group (PREMG), a northwest-based property management company.
"When we bought this company about ten years ago, we implemented the first PBX and have always used Rio for fast Internet," said Debbie Johnson, director of human resources for PREMG. " We use Rio´s SIP lines for our phone system and have a direct link between our offices in Portland and Seattle."
With 88 employees and offices in Portland and Seattle, the company needed an easy way to communicate and transfer customers between offices. "We can always communicate easily through the system, transfer calls seamlessly and don´t need to be in the same building," said Johnson. "Transferring and communicating is easy with a simple extension number. "
According to Mark Bilton-Smith, president of Rio Networks, "PREMG has been a customer of Rio Networks for ten years. As PREMG's business has expanded, they've had many communication needs and Rio has met those needs every time. It's extremely rewarding for us to have long time customers like PREMG, where we've repeatedly delivered communication solutions that give our customers a competitive advantage."
"We have contingency plans and constant communication is very important for our business," said Johnson. "The reliability of always-on phone service through digital service is vital to our business. Rio has very good customer service and there is a very short down time when maintenance and upgrades happen. Rio has been dependable and reliable. When you don´t have to worry, you figure you´re getting the value of your services," she said.

With todays cloud environments you can have full redundancy and minimize the impact of an outage be it localized or geographic. There is always the possibility of having the dreaded downtime but it can be minimized inexpensively for mission critical things.
Small businesses can't be hosted by the all-inclusive shared server account model that many of the largest (and cheapest) hosting companies provide. This is a remnant of circa 1995 business model for hosting. Where a shared account is used to host website, email, FTP, DNS, and the kitchen sink. It's understandable that something like a website being down might not be the end of the world for some SMBs but having email down along with every other service they need can be detrimental. We all know putting all your eggs in one basket is never an optimal idea.
Let alone the security issues that come with shared hosting. If one site is compromised due to a simple cross site scripting or other issue the whole server will be taken over. Leaving your site and data as collateral damage to someone else's mistakes.
There is a need for a revised method of providing SMBs and independent web designers to get cheap but reliable (including well architected) hosting.
It is not 1995 anymore…]]>
For this experiment I opted for a Yandex email address as my new main personal email. It has an easy to use interface and the ability to sync other emails (such as my Gmail) with it. The interface is clean and pretty good. The URL has "neo2″ in the path when logged in so I am assuming it is based on OpenWebMail somehow. Which is fine with me.
When I first tried to import my Gmail emails I got a txt message and email from Google's fraud department showing the IP trying to login to my account was in Moscow. Which they then proceeded to make very hard for me to allow the connection. It did not work until the next day. But at least I know for sure the servers hosting the email are in Russia. Yandex mail offers IMAP access as well which I use with Thunderbird.
Using Yandex in tandem with Mailvelope all you need to do is add the domain to Watch List in Settings:
So now I have OpenPGP and all my old Gmail in the new Yandex account. It seamlessly copies over the tags which was a huge help to me. After using Yandex as my primary email I do not miss Gmail, I am happy to say. I was sure there would be some regrets but in the end it is just as good and using K-9 mail on Android for my mobile access works great too! Once I was sure all the email was in Yandex I went through deleting all the unneeded old emails. Then deleted all from Gmail and switched to forwarding (and deleting on Gmail) to new account. This way it is still backwards compatible with the countless people who still use my Gmail address.
I will be posting about my attempts at having a Google "free" Android phone soon.

It's my Google-ification!
Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with Google. More that I had the epiphany that I am up to my eyeballs in it.
The other night I started pondering what all I use and how (or if) it is connected to Google. Just have a look at your Google Dashboard and you might be surprised! Here is a short list of things I use that are all Google…
With the above just being the key points! I am way deep in the sea of Google. So what is a guy to do???
Firstly the easiest thing for me to change behavior wise is not search using Google. I have changed my Chrome to use DuckDuckGo as default for search. A few other good alternatives are:
Next installment I will be switching over my Gmail to an alternative.]]>
The drive there is certainly fun going from next to nothing to 7000+ feet in elevation up winding mountain roads. Once there we drove around the lake to see the houses then cut over to the Rim of the World Drive from North Shore Drive. This is where the real adventure begins. I do not recommend going there after the seasons snow fall start since most roads get washed out or damaged even for super high clearance vehicles to pass.
View Larger Map
Note: Be sure to take with you provisions and an emergency kit in case you get stuck and have to spend the night. An emergency beacon is even better to have! Also be sure to get an Adventure Pass if you plan on making stops. As always advise family or friends on your travels and when to expect to hear back from you!
The Subaru XV Crosstrek did an excellent job of tackling the off-road driving. We did get stuck twice but that was due to the road being washed away to the point of needing much more clearance. Glad the Crosstrek has skid plates since I am sure they have some scars to prove the adventure. Luckily on the first instance of getting stuck some dirt bikers came by and helped us out. I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with how well it handles off road and the CVT does a great job of laying down the power on rough terrain. We will be sure to head back to Big Bear once more snow is in the forecast. Plus there are many more secluded hiking trials to be seen once the weather warms again in Spring.

My instaweek
Omlouvám se za malé množství článků, ale momentálně jsem strašně zaneprázděná. Pracuji na plný úvazek v restauraci a mám jen pár dní volna, takže se nemůžu pořádně soustředit na blog. Každopádně na konci června opouštím Aberdeen, takže budu snad mít více času. Chystám se také do Berlína a Barcelony a ihned potom nastupuju na roční stáž, o které vás budu pravidelně informovat. Do té doby buďte, prosím, trpělivý. :)

RGU Business Ball
But back to the ball. We had a delicious three course menu and champagne which was highly appreciated. :-D I also had a chance to try the Scotish dance Ceildh which was absolutely hilarious. It was nice to stop thinking for a while and just have fun.

Grey coat
Good evening guys! Since my summer holidays already started I finally have a bit more free time for my blog. I am still working full time in the restaurant but I dont have to worry about uni anymore which is good. Since I got the new placement I decided to reward myself with several pieces of clothing. I am planning to go on a huge shopping spree at the end of the month and send it back home so it is waiting for me when I arrive. However, I already got myself this new coat from ZNU. It is a great versatile piece and the weather is finally good enough for me to wear it. I am a sucker for fashion tights and I bought those couple of days ago. It is absolutely fine for me to wear it here in Scotland but I am slightly worried that people will stare at me back in Czech. :-D

Exciting news
After six months of hard work and hours of researching I finally manage to find a year placement! I am so excited though a bit scared at the same time. :) I will be working for Cosmopolitan magazine in Prague and my job description sounds absolutely amazing. If everything goes right, I will start in the middle of July, right after my trip to Berlin. I am sure it will be a great experience that will open many doors for me and I will be able to make connections that are so important in fashion world. One of my best friends from uni will be on her placement in London so it will be great if we cooperate on something together.
Also, our uni magazine was published today and I am so proud of. All the pics I took together with my product page were included so I am super glad. I will show you more in another post because I think we did a good job.
13. 5. 2015
I am also planning a gveaway for a huge goodie bag for all my lovely followers so stay tuned. It will be worth it. :)

Golden jacket
Just a quick post from me today. I spent an amazind day with my friends yesterday (check out my Instagram) but unfortunatelly it is time to go back to the reality. I have a PR exam on Tuesday so I have only few days left to revise. Cannot wait for the summer break so I can concentrate on stuff that I enjoy. My last exam is on 18th May and after that I am going to RGU Business Ball which will be so much fun, I already bought a stunning dress so stay update. :)

Struggle with placement
The end of semester is almost here and it usually means one thing. The summer holidays are here. Unfortunatelly, I am in a lot of stress lately because I need to find a year placement starting during the summer. I always knew it would be diffucult but it is way harder than I ever imagined. I sent around 100 emails to companies and designers in London and Czech and I got only around 10 replies. I decided that the best option for me will be to go to my placement to Prague so I am desperately trying to contact as many people as possible. I am offering people to work for them for free and it is extremely hard to make them reply. I would understand if my CV was not good enough but I have plenty of experience in the fashion industry. Hopefully I will be lucky soon and I will find something. Wish me luck. :)

Topeka, Kansas recording artist Brail may hail from (just) north of the Missouri Compromise Line, but he clearly has a soft spot for Southern cuisine. On his latest single, making its world premiere right here in the Booth, the indie rapper, singer and beatsmith helps himself to a heaping plate of Gritts & Gravy. Being in the middle of a meal, however, doesn't prevent him from laying the lyrical smackdown on his competition—in fact, the flows he showcases here are some of the most dextrous we've heard from him to date. As on his last feature, promo cut Love Strings, the artist handles his own production, backing his aggressive bars with a scorching mix of distorted synths and furious percussion. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked; Project Expression as yet lacks a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with further release details and singles as they emerge.
