Although rated at only 00 the audiophile voice 75 watts per channel, it has the sub- stantial weight of 77 pounds. You will need to add another 33 pounds for its shipping cartons. And its dimensions, 10¼ inches high, 17¾ inches wide, and 18¾ inches deep, make it too big to slide into most equipment shelves. Years ago Mac discontinued point-to-point wiring and now uses heavy-duty circuit boards through out. A pair of 12AX7As are used in the high-level circuitry and another pair of 12AX7As in the magnetic phono stage. The power amp employs two 12AT7s and four KT88s, although it can also use 6550s. The amp is self-biasing and McIntosh sees no potential problem when or if an owner replaces the original output tubes when they eventually wear out with a non-Mac tube product. Incidentally, a Mac rep suggested a rather long life expectancy for the KT 88s of over 4000 hours, about double the usual estimate.

During that time, I have had the opportunity to audi- tion many other tube and solid-state units and I have always felt that the ARC amps and preamps offered the best balance of those attributes that are the hallmarks of a great amplifi- er.

Donor: European Commission (EC)
Project Title: Securing Rights and Restoring Lands for Improved Livelihoods
Final beneficiaries &/or target groups
Local dryland communities in the villages of Bokspits, Rappelspan, Vaalhoek and Struizendam which make up the BORAVAST villages in Botswana.
Site Description
The project component in Botswana consists of four communities which are collectively referred to as BORAVAST (named after the villages of Bokspits, Rappelspan, Vaalhoek and Struizendam) in the Kalahari ecosystem. The larger villages are Struizendam and Bokspits (which is located at the confluence of the Molopo and Nossob Rivers) while Vaalhoek and Rappelspan are the smallest of the four villages. Bokspits is the "economic hub" of the four villages hosting the government departments, the school, an electrified guesthouse, the water purification dam/plant, a larger grocery store as well as basic restaurants/eating houses. It also has easy access to the South Africa border posts via tarred roads. Women are well represented in the structures of the community especially on the Village Development Cooperation (VDC), the BORAVAST Trust and with a female Kgosi (chief) at Bokspits. Mainly Afrikaans but also Setswana is spoken in all four villages.
As IUCN's approach is to strengthen governance as a platform for sustainable resource management, the village of Khawa is included in the project and the Khawa community is engaged in some of the project activities (e.g. participatory planning). The Khawa grazing area overlaps with the grazing area of the BORAVAST villages.

Demi Lovato Has a Documentary and a Skincare Line in the Works
Demi Lovato has just announced her own skin care line. The singer will also be the subject of a new documentary series.
Demi Lovato has just announced her own skin care line. The singer will also be the subject of a new documentary series.
Demi Lovato has opened up about past demons, including her struggles with mental illnesses and addictions, in a long, candid and open interview with The Daily Mail.
In her touching speech during Logo TV's 1st Annual Trailblazers event in New York City this week (June 23), Demi Lovato honored one particular "trailblazer" -- her grandfather.
Demi Lovato announces a new fan club titled The Lovato Club, which promises exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, contests and giveaways, access to message forums and pre-sale tickets.
We hope Demi Lovato and her team of stylists invest in a thick, rich, deep conditioner. The singer, who went from hot pink back to brown recently, is once again a blonde.
What's Demi Lovato's new motto? Kill 'em with kindness.
Pop stars covering other pop stars' songs is not a new convention, especially in the digital, plugged-in age. But when Demi Lovato tackles an Ed Sheeran song, it's an event. Lovato blew the roof off with her version of Sheeran's gorgeous '+' track 'Give Me Love.' Like wow. Seriously.
Lady Gaga's controversial SXSW performance, which saw her being vomited on by a performance artist while performing 'Swine,' has drawn its fair share of criticism. Demi Lovato, who is the de facto spokeswoman for the issues that affect our youth, took to Twitter to accuse Gaga of glamorizing eating disorders with her antics and behavior.
Good news, PopCrushers! We will be posting a Mini-Mix of the hottest pop tracks for you to listen to and enjoy each and every weekend. This week marks the first week, and we're serving up a mix of some of the best tracks, including OneRepublic, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and more!
Demi Lovato and her magenta hair stopped by Seacrest Studios at Levine Children's Hospital in North Carolina while on her Neon Lights Tour to inspire some of the patients. She offered a unique piece of poignant advice on how to reverse a bad day.
Demi Lovato is a hair and style chameleon, but she always manages to look like herself -- she's never forcing anything. Aside from her multitude of looks, she also has multiple talents ... and multiple issues that eventually led to rehab. She opened up about everything to Nylon.
Formerly troubled songstress Demi Lovato sat down to talk to 'Access Hollywood' about her past and the most recent topic of discussion was her self-harm.

Brian Kersey, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that the decision to kill a U.S. citizen living abroad who poses a terrorist threat "is among the gravest that government leaders can face," but justified lethal action as legal and sometimes necessary in the war on terror.
Holder's comments broke the administration's silence on the legal justifications for its decision to kill American-born al-Qaida operative Anwar al-Awlaki five months ago in Yemen. In a speech at Northwestern University law school in Chicago, he described al-Awlaki as concocting plans to kill Americans but he never explicitly acknowledged the administration responded by targeting the cleric for death.
Instead the attorney general outlined a three-part test for determining when a targeted killing against a U.S. citizen is legal. He said the government must determine after careful review that the citizen poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the U.S., capture is not feasible and the killing would be consistent with laws of war.
The Obama administration has refused to release the Justice Department legal opinion on al-Awlaki's killing under the Freedom of Information Act and is in court opposing efforts to have it made public.
Responding to criticism from civil libertarians, Holder flatly rejected the suggestion that the Constitution's due process protections require the president to get permission from a federal court before taking lethal action.
"The unfortunate reality is that our nation will likely continue to face terrorist threats that at times originate with our own citizens," Holder told a packed Thorne Auditorium, where all 700 seats were filled with law students, who were taking notes on their laptops, were joined by Chicago-based federal prosecutors and other observers.
"When such individuals take up arms against this country and join al-Qaida in plotting attacks designed to kill their fellow Americans there may be only one realistic and appropriate response," the attorney general continued. "We must take steps to stop them in full accordance with the Constitution. In this hour of danger, we simply cannot afford to wait until deadly plans are carried out — and we will not."
Al-Awlaki's killing in a joint CIA-U.S. military drone strike on a convoy in Yemen sparked a public debate over whether the president should have the authority to kill an American without a conviction and despite an executive order banning assassinations — which Holder called a "loaded term" that doesn't apply in this case. Until now the Obama administration has said very little about it publicly as administration officials have debated how much to reveal in response to the criticism.
The day that al-Awlaki was killed, President Barack Obama said his death was "a major blow to al-Qaida's most active operational affiliate" and "another significant milestone in the broader effort to defeat al-Qaida." But he did not acknowledge publicly that the United States was responsible for the drone attack, which was confirmed by counterterrorism officials.
Al-Awlaki was a cleric who was born in New Mexico and once preached at an Islamic center in Falls Church, Va. His sermons in English are posted all over the Internet and his name has been associated with several attempted terrorist attacks. The Justice Department has said that a Nigerian man who tried to blow up an international flight on Christmas 2009 told FBI agents that his mission was approved after a three-day visit with al-Awlaki.
Obama administration officials told The Associated Press that Obama approved al-Awlaki's killing in April 2010, when he became the first American placed on the CIA "kill or capture" list.

This I Believe Rhode Island: Native Plants
By Scott Turner
Bouncing back. Under the best of circumstances that's what we humans do when we stumble in life. If we're fortunate, we get up, dust ourselves off, and move on. And hasn't nature taught us this lesson many times over, as when forests destroyed by fire manage miraculously to rejuvenate? The poet W. H. Auden put it well: "Healing is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature." And that's also what we hear from Scott Turner.
In addition to his duties as the director of web communications at Brown University, Scott Turner writes a weekly nature commentary for the Providence Journal. Turner is a former land manager, park ranger and science writer. He lives in Providence with his wife and two children.

What male breast development is?
Male breast development or gynecomastia is breast development in men because of hormonal changes that stimulate the mammary gland tissue. Both men and women have breast tissues that can be stimulated to grow either through the body's own sex hormones or external factors that can affect hormone levels or hormonal activities. Development of breast tissues in women is normal and happens because of stimulation with female sex hormone.
Many boys, perhaps as much as 40 percent, may temporarily experience breast development in early adolescence. This is because sex hormone production in the onset of puberty have not yet been refined. In most cases, it disappears by itself within a year.
Male breast development occurs in late adolescence years or adulthood, is not normal and should in most cases examined.
What types of breast development exist in men?
Breast development in one or both sides
Breast development in men most commonly affects on both sides (bilateral gynecomastia), while one-sided (unilateral gynecomastia) development just in about 25 percent of men with breast formation. The chest is in most often sore in the beginning. In some decreases soreness, while it continues in others.
Breast development due to obesity
Lipomas is a state with increased adipose tissue in the chest region. This condition is most commonly caused by obesity. Sometimes there is a combination of gynecomastia and obesity.
Breast cancer in men
Breast cancer in men is a completely different disease than gynecomastia, and the two states have no context. Men with gynecomastia have no increased risk of breast cancer.
Why some men develop breasts?
Male breasts development, due to changes in the balance of estrogen (female sex hormone) and androgen (male sex hormone), resulting in an excess of estrogen. The imbalance may be due to increased estrogen levels, reduced androgen levels or decreased sensitivity in the glandular tissue of male hormone.
This hormonal imbalance may be due to a slowing testicular function, wherein the capacity of the testes to produce the male sex hormone (testosterone) decreases. However, the hormonal imbalance can also occur secondary – that is, as a consequence of other disease or drug therapy. There are numerous main reasons that can cause this hormonal imbalance:
Decreased testicular function (primary testisinsufficiens)
Reduced production of pituitary hormones from the hypothalamus or pituitary gland (GnRH / gonadotropin-stimulating hormone, LH / Leydig cell stimulating hormone / luteinizing hormone)
Hormone-producing tumors (junction formation) in the testes, adrenal glands or elsewhere in the body as:
Genetic disorders (Klinefelter syndrome, Kallmann syndrome)
Liver disease, kidney disease, metabolic disease, heart failure
Overuse of alcohol
Anabolic steroids
Medication side effects (often psychotropic drugs, hormone replacement therapy, blood pressure/heart medicine).
How investigating and providing benefits to breast development in men?
Initial studies
Most men go to their doctor to get examined breast imaging because they fear that it comes to breast cancer. An important task for the practitioner is to determine whether it concerns one of the very few cases of male breast cancer, or in the case of adipose tissue in the chest region due to obesity or 'true gynecomastia'.
The real gynecomastia is characterized in that one can feel glandular tissue in the chest region. In light cases, breast development is not visible. In other cases, obesity makes it difficult to determine whether there is a genuine gynecomastia. Usually there is no need for imaging study (ultrasound or X-ray), but if you are in doubt as to whether it comes true gynecomastia or in the case of breast development due to obesity, one can make additional imaging study.
If you can feel glandular tissue in the breast area, it will also be appropriate to feel the testicles check whether there should be a module here.

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among teens in the United States. Fortunately, teen motor vehicle crashes are preventable, and this new system is a strategy that can improve the safety of young drivers.
In fact, nearly 2,650 teens aged 16–19 were killed and almost 292,000 were treated in emergency departments for injuries from motor-vehicle accidents. This means that seven teens ages 16 to 19 dies every day from motor vehicle injuries.
Because compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use and they are more likely to speed up than adult drivers.
"We developed this system so parents could use it as a teaching tool with their kids—they can discuss and reinforce safe driving habits," said General Motors safety engineer Mary Ann Beebe.
The innovative system of GM then, that is hailed as Teen Drive offers a bunch of features that are intended to promote safe driving. For example, the vehicle will automatically mute the radio and any paired device in the car when the front seat occupants are not wearing seatbelts. In addition, it will give audible and visual forewarnings if the vehicle travels faster than the fixed speeds.
Parents can also set the radio system's maximum volume to a lower level, and pre-set maximum speed of about 40 and 75 miles per hour, and when the teen exceeds it activates safety warnings.
What's more unnerving for teens is that the new system made available for the parents to look at a record of how their teens drove the car. That is comprised of how fast they went, the distance they drove, and if the teens have prompted any active safety feature like over-speeding.
The said Teen Drive technology will be made available for the 2016 Malibu as a customary feature in the Premier vehicle and optional with the LT model. The 2016 Malibu will launch at the New York Auto Show and is expected to go on sale at the end of the year.

Just Talking on a cell phone and the odds are exactly the same – a person is 4 times more likely to crash.
Texting while driving and you are 8 times more likely to get into a crash – just like being double the legal limit of intoxication.
You would never drive your car blindfolded or drunk – but texting when driving is the same thing. Please, just don't do it! As a driver you are personally responsible for the lives of your friends and family in your car, and the lives of all the men, women and children in the other cars on the road around you. PLEASE, just don't.
To win a slip-and-fall case, you will need to prove that there was a dangerous condition that led to your accident. You will also need to prove that the owner knew about the dangerous condition and didn't fix it.

This chart details state cellular phone use and texting while driving laws.
Crash Data Collection: Nearly all states include at least one category for distraction on police crash report forms, although the specific data collected varies. The Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) guideline provides best practices on distraction data collection.
Preemption Laws: Some states have preemption laws that prohibit local jurisdictions from enacting their own distracted driving bans. States with such laws include – but may not be limited to – Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Oregon and South Carolina.

Rodney Wilde still has trouble walking and speaking after a wreck that nearly killed him and caused serious brain damage four years ago.
Rodney was the victim of a DUI hit and run with Leroy Felt behind the wheel. Felt had been served alcohol for nine hours prior to the wreck at the Eagles Lodge on 441 where he was a member.
Felt also left the scene of the accident leaving the victim seriously injured on the road. Police later caught Felt who was three times over the legal alcohol limit.
A new bill moving through the legislature would mandate at least a four year minimum sentence for hit and run drivers. Currently, there is no minimum.
The jury found the Lodge negligent for serving Felt so much alcohol.
Felt was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Distracted driving contributes up to 8,000 crashes every day, and using a cell phone quadruples your risk of crashing.
Even with such serious statistics, drivers continue to not only talk on their cell phones, but to text, as well. Many states are placing anti-texting laws in place, and those who break these laws are beginning to suffer the consequences, as one teen in Massachusetts discovered recently.
On February 20, 2011, Aaron Deveau crashed his car into a vehicle driven by Donald Bowley. Bowley was killed in the collision and his girlfriend was seriously injured.
The teenaged Deveau claimed not only was he tired from working that day, but be was also distracted by thoughts of his homework. Unfortunately for Deveau, the prosecution produced phone records at his trial that showed the young man was texting moments before he crashed his car into that of Bowley, so his excuse did not fly in court.
Deveau, who is now 18 years-old, was found guilty of vehicular homicide and texting while driving. He was sentenced by Judge Abany to four-and-a-half years imprisonment on the two charges. Deveau's sentence was eventually reduced to one year in jail, three years probation and the loss of his driver's license for fifteen years.
Although drivers have been cited for driving while texting in the state, this is the first time in Massachusetts' history that an individual has been charged with vehicular homicide while texting.
Many experts believe those who take lives and cause injuries while texting and driving, will be dealt with in the same way that Deveau was in the state of Massachusetts.
Currently, there are thirty-five states with bans on texting and driving. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous activities to do while driving; when you are looking at the keyboard on your phone, you are not looking at the road. Become part of the solution to this problem by vowing to change your behavior and refuse to text while driving.

The ruling overturned John Goodman's 2011 court approved adoption of his girlfriend, Heather Hutchins, which changed his biological children's entitlement of their $300 million trust fund from one-half to one-third.
John Goodman is the founder of the Wellington Polo Club and was convicted of DUI manslaughter in March 2012 for running a stop sign and colliding with another car, killing the driver, 23-year-old Scott Patrick Wilson in February 2010. The impact of Goodman's BMW colliding with Wilson's car, flipped the vehicle into a canal, drowning the young man. Sobriety tests after the fatal crash showed that Goodman had a blood alcohol level of .20, more than twice the state of Florida's legal limit. Goodman was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for Wilson's death.
Goodman, who remains on house arrest at his Wellington mansion on a $7 million bond, reached a $46 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Scott Wilson's parents. Wilson's family's attorney have stated Goodman's adoption attempt was a "brazen bid to shield his assets from the grieving parents."
The International Polo Club Palm Beach founder quietly adopted his girlfriend in 2011, thus making her eligible for a share of the $300 million trust he had established for his biological children. When the adoption became known to his former wife and children, a guardian for the teenage children filed a lawsuit contesting the adoption.
The court's decision to void Goodman's adoption of the 43-year-old Hutchins was based on Goodman's failure to notify his ex-wife, which gave her no opportunity to protect her children's financial interests from Hutchin's encroachment.
Goodman's attorney declined to comment on the ruling, saying "I have no comment, that's all I can say right now."

Google Search Adds Scientific Calculator to Repertoire
A new number cruncher pops up when calculations are performed in the Google search box.
Previously Google displayed the calculation and its answer.
The next time you perform a calculation in Google's search box, be prepared for a surprise.
Google launched a new feature that displays a scientific calculator as well as the results of your calculation. Previously, the search engine displayed the calculation and its answer. Microsoft's Bing still performs that way.
Better yet, you can use Google's voice search feature--found in mobile versions of the search engine and in its Chrome web browser--to input calculations without touching your keyboard. That's really handy if you're trying to calculate something like "the square root of Pi times three."
On the desktop, the voice feature only works in Chrome. Firefox users will have to type in their calculations, although the scientific calculator will appear after they do.
Calculator Functions
The calculator has a full complement of scientific functions, including sin, cos, tan, log, exponential calculation, and square roots. Mobile users may have to view the calculator in landscape mode to see all the functions.
The scientific calculator joins Google's graphing calculator, also accessible from the search bar, which was introduced more than a year ago, to the delight of math geeks everywhere.
Now that Google has integrated a scientific calculator into search, maybe it should consider introducing a business calculator, as well. That type of calculator would appeal to a wider audience and could be chosen as an alternative to the scientific calculator through a settings option.

Italy v Argentina - Live
Italy 14 Argentina 19
80 Argentina are awarded a penalty on Italy's 10-metre line after Quintin Geldenhuys is pinned for a line-out infringement. Sanchez boots the ball into touch and the referee blows his whistle to bring proceedings to a close. It's a deserved victory for the Pumas, who gradually gained control of this match. They didn't panic when Italy regained the lead with Campagnaro's try and fought back bravely. Italy had their chances but in the end they didn't take them and the Pumas made them pay.
79 The Italians are hammering away at the Argentina's line but the visitors are defending like Trojans! Robert Barbieri is pinned for holding onto the ball on the ground and the visitors gain a reprieve!
77 Italy attack, close to the Pumas' try-line but lose momentum when Gonzalo Canale knocks on a pass from Parisse!
74 DROP GOAL, ARGENTINA, SANCHEZ! 14-19. Argentina are on the attack in front of Italy's posts! They set up several phases with their forwards until Tom�s Cubelli swings out a pass to Sanchez, who succeeds with a perfectly-executed snap-shot!
72 Argentina take the ball through a couple of phases with their forwards, close to the halfway mark, before swinging it out to their backs. Sanchez launches a bomb but McLean does well to gather it despite great pressure from several chasers!
68 PENALTY, ARGENTINA, SANCHEZ! 14-16. Italy are pinned for another ruck infringement and this time Sanchez is on target as the visitors take the lead again!
65 Sanchez gets a chance to regain the lead for the visitors, after Castrogiovanni is pinned for a high-tackle, but his effort falls just short of the cross-bar.
62 TRY, ITALY, CAMPAGNARO! 14-13. Italy are eventually rewarded when Allan delivers a cross-kick, which Imhoff fails to gather behind his try-line, and Michele Campagnaro dives onto the loose ball for the hosts' first try!
60 Italy have been awarded two penalties, inside a minute, and on both occasions they've opted to kick for the corner flag when the three-points are on offer. Both times they've failed to breach the Pumas' try-line, however.
57 The Azzurri are trying desperately to get back into this game! Parisse takes the ball when his side is awarded a penalty but is stopped just short of the line by a crunching tackle from Bustos!
55 PENALTY, ARGENTINA, SANCHEZ! 9-13. Sanchez extends the visitors' lead after Martin Castrogiovanni is penalised for a ruck infringement.
52 Lucas Gonz�lez Amorosino shrugs off a challenge from Michele Campagnaro before kicking ahead. He puts his side on the front foot as the ball rolls into touch inside Italy's 22.
49 Allan gets a chance to regain the lead for the hosts - afterBenjam�n Macome is pinned for a dangerous tackle on Edoardo Gori. Allan's effort, however, is just past the uprights!
46 Italy take the ball through several phases, close to the halfway mark, until Allan spts a gap and chips ahead. Sanchez reads the situation well, however, and gathers before booting the ball upfield.
43 Argentina's forwards a re pinned for going off their feet at a ruck. Allan kicks for touch and the hosts can attack from a line-out on the halfway mark.
41 Sanchez gets the second half underway with a flat, hanging kick which Valerio Bernabo gathers. Italy set up a maul and take the ball through the phases.
Italy 9-10 Argentina
40 Allan has another shot at goal, after Argentina's forwards are pinned for illegal scrummaging. Allan lines up the shot at goal but, once again, his effort is short! Landajo gathers and boots the ball into touch. That's also the final act of the half as referee Chris Pollock blows his whistle to indicate half-time shortly afterwards. As the scoreline suggests, it's been an even affair. Argentina have shown more enterprise on attack and were justly rewarded with a fine try. But it's still either side's game and both side will be determined to pull away after the break.
38 Italy get a chance to regain the lead, after the visitors infringe at a ruck, but although Allan's effort is on target it falls just short of the cross-bar!
35 PENALTY, ARGENTINA, SANCHEZ! 9-10. Sanchez regains the lead for the Pumas after several Azzurri forwards are penalised for going off their feet at a ruck.
31 Landajo launches a bomb but there's little pressure from the chasers and Gonzalo Canale gathers without breaking a sweat.
28 Argentina put huge pressure on Italy, at a scrum, close to the halfway mark! They eventually win a heel against the head and Sanchez kicks ahead. McLean is forced to clear his line with a kick of his own upfield.
25 PENALTY, ITALY, ALLAN! 9-7. Allan lands his third penalty, after the visitors' forwards are penalised for being offside, in front of their posts.
22 CONVERSION, ARGENTINA, SANCHEZ! 6-7. Nicolas Sanchez holds his nerve and lands a difficult spot-kick from up against the touchline! What makes the effort even more special is that it was done while the rain is pouring down!
21 TRY, ARGENTINA, IMHOFF! 6-5. The Pumas attack from a scrum with Benjam�n Macome winning several metres as he picks up and goes. A ruck is then formed and the ball is spun wide to Imhoff, who beats Edoardo Gori, with a deft side-step before scoring in the left-hand corner!
19 PENALTY, ITALY, ALLAN! 6-0. Allan extends the home side's lead after Nicol�s S�nchez is pinned for being offside.
17 Carizza is penalised for a ruck infringement and Sergio Parisse instructs Allan to kick for touch. He puts the ball midway between Argentina's 22 and their 10-metre line.
15 Allan gets a chance to add another three-pointer, after Galarza is pinned for holding onto the ball on the ground, but his effort is just wide of the mark.
13 Mart�n Landajo makes a break and beats four of the Azzurri's defenders! He looks for support but there's none forthcoming and is forced to hit the deck on Italy's 10-metre line.
11 There's some concern in the Argentina camp as Maximiliano Bustos stays down after a heavy challenge. He receives some medical attention but is soon up and running again.
8 Argentina are on the attack inside Italy's 22! Mariano Galarza, Manuel Carizza and Gabriel Asc�rate are prominent ball carriers but they can't break down the home side's defence.
5 PENALTY, ITALY, ALLAN! 3-0. Tommaso Allan opens the scoring from the kicking tee, after the Pumas' front row is penalised for illegal scrummaging.
3 Juan Imhoff makes a break, from deep inside his half which tears the home side's defence to shreds! He is soon just outside Italy's 22 but kicks ahead! Luke McLean gathers and boots the ball upfield!
1 Tommaso Allan gets us underway! His kick is deep and Juan Manuel Leguizam�n gathers inside his 22 where he sets up a ruck.
0 The two teams stand to attention for the singing of their national anthems. First up is Argentina's Himno Nacional Argentino followed by the home side's Il Canto degli Italiani. As expected, both teams sing their respective songs with great gusto.
0 Pumas head coach Daniel Hourcade has made five changes to his starting line-up for this clash. Hourcade has rejigged his back-line with Horacio Agulla shifting from wing to outside centre in the place of Marcelo Bosch while Ascarate Gabriel replaces Santiago Fernandez at inside centre. There are two new wings as Juan Imhoff takes over from Santiago Cordero, who drops to the bench, and Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino returns. In the pack, Mariano Galarza replaces Patricio Albacete in the second row while Benjamin Macome is preferred to Paul Matera, who also takes a place among the substitutes.
0 Former Scotland U20 player Tommaso Allan will make his first Test start for Italy at fly-half in this match. Allan, who has made substitute appearances for Italy after being drafted into the squad last month, is one of three changes for the clash against the Pumas. He replaces Luciano Orquera, who drops to the bench, with Michele Campagnaro starting at outside centre in place of veteran Gonzalo Canale. Canale moves to inside centre to replace the injured Luca Morisi. Robert Barbieri comes back into Brunel's starting XV at openside flanker, replacing Mauro Bergamasco who is not included in the matchday squad.
0 Hello and welcome to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome for our live coverage of this November Test between our hosts, Italy, and Argentina. Don't go away! We'll return shortly with team news.

2004 Hummer H2 Q&A
2004 Hummer H2 Question: Rear Air Ride Suspension
Hi! I have a 2004 Hummer H2 SUV that I recently had all new brakes & rotors put on. In the process of doing so, my Air Ride Suspension was not turned off prior to jacking it up. It has not been the same since and leaks all the air out most of the time. I know I need to get this serviced before my compressor wears out, but what is involved in servicing the Air Ride Suspension & more importantly, is it serviceable (based on what I've told you). Should the air compressor still be in good shape, what approx. costs are involved? I think I have decided to switch to coil springs in the event the compressor is worn out as well or the costs for servicing just the bags is too much. Can anyone help?? Thanks a million! P.S. - Returning it to the guy that did my brakes is not an option as my dad's mechanic did it for me when I was in town (600 miles away) & I wouldn't expect him to fix it as he footed the bill for the brakes & rotors and all like some dads do! :) - krparkerone

Despite a tough economic atmosphere since 2008, Americans have increased their charitable giving in 2010.
As the economy regained some momentum in 2010, Americans responded in kind by increasing their charitable giving.
Philanthropic donations from individuals, foundations and corporations increased 3.8% to $290.89 billion in 2010, up from $280.3 billion in 2009, according to the latest Giving USA survey, released Monday.
"There was a lot more optimism, all relative, in 2010," said Ms. Raybin. "If giving continues at this two or three percent [growth] level, it's going to take us a while to get back to where we were before."
In current dollars, philanthropic giving hit a peak of $310.57 billion in 2007 and then dropped to $299.81 billion in 2008. On average, giving accounts for about 2% of the gross domestic product.
More than a third of all contributions made last year are to religious organizations and giving in that sector remained flat in 2010.
Americans are still giving a substantial amount of money to charity despite economic uncertainty moving forward, proving once again America's unwavering generosity in good times and bad, showing Americans don't need the government telling them when to help eachother.

I think it's important to remember that there are many, many grassroots organizations and group efforts working hard here on the ground to defeat Amendment One, many on their own time and dime, because they feel strongly that we're all in this together as North Carolinians, each with a role to play in educating voters, bringing people together to discuss the amendment's harms and getting out the vote. One such group is All of Us NC, a grassroots offshoot of the social justice organization Southerners On New Ground (SONG):
Since 1993, SONG has been known, both regionally and nationally, for its organizing and training work across issues of race, class, gender, culture and sexuality with both LGBTQ people and allies. We work to build and maintain a Southern LGBTQ infrastructure for organizers strong enough to combat the Southern-specific strategy of the Right to divide and conquer Southern oppressed communities using the tools of rural isolation, Right-wing Christian infrastructure, racism, environmental degradation, and economic oppression.
All of Us NC focuses not just on organizing around Amendment One, but social justice issues that (should) unite the diverse progressive family — anti-immigrant policies, anti-worker legislation, the voter ID act, etc. Diversity is at its core, and I believe that this represents the positive North Carolina of the future. I asked Manju Rajendran and Jade Brooks of All of US NC to give us a peek into the organizing and outreach work it is doing. [cont'd.]

Comments about Florida Gators Double Arches Pullover Hoodie - Charcoal:
Absolutely love this hoodie! Ordered a large, knowing I really needed a medium but that it would shrink. The large was still pretty small and I'm not sure how many wash cycles it will last before it becomes my wife. Ordered two sizes bigger!

Jonathan Gray netted 19 points and helped Cornell dominate beyond the arc in a 68-60, nonconference victory over American University Sunday. Gray hit 3 of 6 from 3-point range as the Big Red (6-9) drained 53.3 percent (8 of 15) of its attempts from deep. The road win was Cornell's third straight, its longest road winning streak since winning five straight at the end of the 2009-10 season. Prior to this streak, the Big Red was 5-29 on the road under coach Bill Courtney. American took a 28-27 lead with 18:35 to play, but then a Shonn Miller 3-pointer sparked an 18-3 Cornell run. Blake Jolivette led the Eagles (5-9) with 15 points. American won the rebound battle 44-36 but shot just 34.4 percent (22 of 64), including 5 of 21 from 3-point range. The Eagles have now lost five of their past six games.

Smash cake photos. Need advice.

married to my best friend (micah)
I'd like to know too! I have no idea what to have him wear or his cake. I am leaning toward just a diaper.

Due 10/14/15 with baby #2
ethan 12/31/08 • elaine 2/7/12
Maybe you could find a cute diaper cover? The pics I've seen where the boy wore a hat, tie, and matching diaper cover are super cute!
2 boys + 1 girl= complete family
My LO wore baby leggings, a hat, a tie and a matching diaper cover:
Mama to 3 sweet boys
H-2008 , Complete Molar 2010 , I-2012 & S-2013 (multiple food allergies)
Expecting baby #4 late 2015/early 2016!
I think the hat is really cute but for boys the tie really just makes it ;) I 1 day shipped our tie from amazon to get it on time! And our diapers are just the honest brand ones so they're already blue.... I know you can buy matching diaper cover/tie/hat sets too. That would be cute!
depends if you wanna ruin a brand new outfit with colored icing....
Heres to us: the guys who have us, the losers who lost us, and the lucky ones who will meet us : )

Zvue borrows $1M more from Carl Page, shuts down S.F. web operation
Zvue Corp. will borrow up to $1 million from Carl Page, its chief technology officer, who has already loaned the company millions of dollars, and said it has "discontinued its San Francisco and overseas web operations" as part of a restructuring.
San Francisco-based Zvue (NASDAQ: ZVUE) issued warrants for Page to buy 350,000 shares at 17 cents a piece in the loan deal.
The company runs web sites like holylemon.com, dorks.com and funmansion.com. Those operations will now be run from Rochester, N.Y., and overseen by Eric Bauman. Zvue also sells MP3 players and makes content through royalty deals with content providers for the devices.
Bizspace Spotlight
The details of the company's restructuring weren't entirely clear, and a company spokesperson first asked for a copy of the company's press release -- with his name listed as a contact at the bottom -- to be emailed to him before he could comment on it. He then directed questions to a different spokesperson, who hadn't responded by press time to questions seeking to clarify which web operations were being shut down.
This loan from Page is for Zvue's hardware business, which sells MP3 and video MP3 players. The loan is secured by Zvue's products.
Zvue lost $7.6 million in the first quarter on sales of $21 million. The company's accumulated deficit since it started business was $48.8 million as of March 31. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. accounted for 63 percent of the company's sales in 2007.
Page, (brother of Google co-founder Larry Page), has made cash advances to the company for more than four years. At the end of 2005, the company owed $3.9 million to Page. As of July 1, Page owned 3.7 million shares in the company.
Two directors -- Allan Grafman and Mitchell Koulouris -- quit the board of directors at Zvue earlier this month, leaving the company with a shortage of independent directors.
Koulouris and Grafman had been added to the board as independent directors effective March 4, after David Hadley and Geoff Mulligan quit. Both Koulouris, 47, and Grafman, 54, worked on the nominating, compensation and audit committees.
Grafman is president of All Media Ventures a consulting firm. He's also works for Mercury Capital Partners, a private equity fund. From 2003 to 2005 he was president of Archie Comics Entertainment. He sits on the board at Majesco Entertainment Co. (NASDAQ: COOL) and is its non-executive Chairman.
Koulouris started Digital Music Group Inc. and was its president and CEO from March 2006 to August 2007.
The company didn't name any new directors. Zvue doesn't have enough independent directors now to comply with Nasdaq listing rules, and the Nasdaq staff are reviewing the company's listing on the exchange. Nasdaq has asked Zvue for a plan to regain compliance by Aug. 1.

'Bernie Gunther' Author Tapped to Pen 'Poison Kitchen' for Constantin
The author is best known for his books featuring a German policeman named Bernie Gunther.
British author Philip Kerr has been tapped to pen the screenplay to The Poison Kitchen for Constantin Film.
Kerr is known for his thriller novels set in early 20th century Germany (March Violets, The Pale Criminal) as well as the creator of the popular kids book series Children of the Lamp.
His knowledge of German history was a strong suit in nabbing the gig as Kitchen is based on a chapter in Ron Rosenbaum's best-selling 1998 book Explaining Hitler. Set in 1920's Munich, Germany, the story tells of the rise of Nazism seen by journalists who tried to expose the party as criminals.
Robert Schwentke (Flight Plan) is attached to direct the project whle Constantin's Robert Kulzer and Margo Klewans will produce. The company's Martin Moszkowicz will exec produce.
Kerr is repped by CAA and A.P. Watt in the UK.

British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and others, R(on the application of) v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and another [2015] EWHC 1723 (Admin) – read judgment
An exception to copyright infringement for private use has failed to survive a challenge in the High Court. But this may not be the end of the story. Although he accepted part of the claimants' contentions, Green J observed that
the Claimants' argument does not sit well or easily with the very unusual and particular circumstances which have led to the decision to introduce the private use exception in the first place. These are that the advent of digitalisation has led to a market where device sellers and consumers assume they may copy and where rightholders have not sought private law remedies against infringers.[my italics]
It is a particular feature of this case that there is a widespread consensus that the law has signally failed to keep up with market reality and with reasonable consumer expectations and indeed has been brought into disrepute by its condemnation as illegal of activities which are now accepted by consumers as lawful and which in actual fact form the basic commercial premise upon which copying and storage devices are actively sold throughout Europe.
Having upheld a small part of the challenge, Green J will now hear submissions as to what flows from this conclusion and from the judgment generally. In particular he will hear submissions as to whether any issue of law that he had decided should be referred to the Court of Justice and if so as to the question(s) that should be asked.

MSI GTX 465 Twin Frozr II Overclocked w/ Voltage Adjustment
As we mentioned in the introduction, we would be using Afterburner today to achieve our overclock. While we used the same program when it came to overclocking the GTX 465 previously, the difference is this time in the latest version we have the ability to also adjust the core voltage.
Increasing the voltage to the max of 1.87v (which MSI let us know was safe for the card we used thanks to the extra cooling), we then provided to adjust the core clock. Speaking to MSI, they said we should be able to achieve 850MHz on the core. It's at that point I laughed to myself; maybe MSI had forgot that the default is only 608MHz.
They also said that we should be able to achieve 4000MHz QDR on the memory. I again proceeded to laugh to myself because since the Voltage Adjustment doesn't affect memory and last time we overclocked we couldn't get that high, I felt nothing was going to change this time.
MSI had the last laugh, though!
What we ended up with was a core speed of 860MHz which in turn bumped the Shader clock from 1215MHz to 1720MHz. We then aimed for 4000MHz QDR on the memory, but ended up at an even higher 4100MHz QDR.
These are just disturbingly high overclocks and while we had our fan cranked to 100%, I think when you see our graphs that look at the noise levels you won't be disappointed.

I'm privileged to not only treat patients who have craniofacial deformities, but the more traditional orthodontic patient as well — who just have a few crooked teeth that they want to see improved.
One of our goals in treatment of craniofacial patients is to prepare them for whatever surgical intervention they're going to have, which may be with a plastic surgeon or with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. What we do as the orthodontist is we prepare them — get their teeth in a proper position so that the surgeon can do their job.
Growing up in a household where my father was an orthodontist, I was able to see the transformation and changes that he made in people's lives. And I knew that I wanted to do that as well.


text: I'd suggest to use 10.4 or the one suggested at gumstix.org. There are known problems with 11.x. Note1. I'm not sure if commenting out the patch within the string works, that's why I've duplicated the whole section. Note2: For the gcc part , it seems as if it wants to install it to your main system (and not to the oe work dir). Have you set the environments as requested ? At first I've tried other platfrom (arch linux) but finally I had to move to ubuntu. That was much painless. Note I was much more perverted and now I'm using a chroot-ed ubuntu (oneiric, whatever version is that) under arch linux x64, but setting up the environment was really an headache :) -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/Errors-while-building-bitbake-omap3-console-image-tp4494745p4497982.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Stevie Nicks Joins 'The Voice' as Advisor to Adam Levine's TeamBy: Pam Wright - July 9, 2014
Stevie Nicks has joined the upcoming season of The Voice as an adviser to Adam Levine's team.
The 66-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer has been working with Levine and his 12 team members as they assign songs and rehearse with the contestants in preparation for the 7th season's battle rounds, currently in production.
"I just think it's a great show," she told Extra in an interview with Levine. "Adam would never be sitting here seven years later if this wasn't a great show."
So just how did Levine persuade Nicks to join his team?
"Bribery, begging, pleading," said Levine.
"Presents… fur coat, some beautiful shoes, sheets," continued Nicks.
New coaches Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams will join Levine and Blake Shelton when the NBC show returns on Sept. 22.
Stefani and Williams are replacing a departed Usher and a pregnant Christina Aguilera this season, and Levine said it has been an easy transition.
"It was smooth sailing from the beginning. They are frighteningly good at it," said the Maroon 5 frontman.
The network says it will soon announce other advisers for this season.
