It is estimated that more than 50,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with kidney cancer each year. Of these case, less than one-third prove fatal.
In adults, the most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma, which forms in the cells that line the small tubes in the kidneys responsible for filtering blood and removing waste products. There is also renal pelvis carcinoma, which forms in the center of the kidney where urine collects. Children under the age of 5 are more likely to develop a Wilms tumor, which starts in the kidney and may spread to the lungs, liver, or nearby lymph nodes.
The majority of kidney cancers are renal cell carcinomas, and the risk factors are numerous. Those at highest risk are men, 60 years of age or older, who smoke, are obese, have high blood pressure, have had long-term treatment for kidney failure and/or have Von Hippel-Lindau disease, an inherited disorder. External factors such as exposure to asbestos, cadmium and trichloroethylene may also increase the incidence of kidney cancer.
Risk factors for transitional cell carcinoma include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals and the medication phenacetin, which was once used in prescription and over-the-counter pain relievers. It was removed from the market in the United States in the early 1980s.
There are rarely symptoms in the early stages of kidney cancer. In later stages the symptoms may include blood in the urine, back pain just below the ribs that doesn't go away, unexplainable weight loss, fatigue and intermittent fever.
Many kidney cancers are detected during procedures for other diseases or conditions. If your urologist suspects a tumor or if you're at high risk for kidney cancer, it can be diagnosed with blood and urine tests, imaging techniques (such as an ultrasound, CT scan or MRI) or, in select cases, a biopsy.
The incidence and mortality rate of kidney cancer has increased steadily for the past few decades, for unclear reasons.

Customer reviews
By Alexandra J Baldwin 15 May 2014
At first I was ambiguous about this book. I found the first few chapters cliched but as I progressed further I became fascinated by the lyrical narrative style . It was strange. the way I was drawn by the narrative, which in some ways was disturbing, but totally absorbed by the story.
As I finished this book I was left in an emotional abyss. Was this one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read or was this a masterpiece of innovative writing. I found this book to be provokingly moving emotionally and intellectually.
By M. Daniela Medina 02 Apr 2014
I made the mistake of seeing the movie before reading the book. Still I decided to read the book and I'm glad I did, it's incredible. Now from the fact that death itself draws most of the book is brilliant and very well spent. One becomes attached to the characters and beyond the sadness of the story as it was difficult to live in that era, it is a book that should be read once.
By Jackie Gibson 25 Mar 2014
I had seen the preview for the movie and had high hopes for this book. However, the format didn't work for me and I found it a difficult book to finish- and when I did, the ending was a disappointment. I certainly would not recommend it, but it wasn't totally terrible. Aspects of it were great- the character of Liesel is a likeable one- but being narrated by Death and given a number of forward-warnings made it a lot less likable.
Review quote
"Extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry." Sunday Telegraph "...a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling...Unsettling, thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner." Guardian "A moving work which will make many eyes brim." Independent on Sunday "This is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim. A sense of dread prevades this beautifully written novel. As The Book Thief draws to a close, Death says: "There's a multitude of stories that i allow to distract me as I work." The story of the Book Thief, who tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one formidable and inspiring distraction." The Daily Express "Brilliant and hugely ambitious ... the kind of book that could be life-changing" New York Times Book Review

Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain has called off a planned visit to Nigeria after a deadly bomb killed at least 75 people in the Nigerian capital Abuja this week.
Mr. Hussain was scheduled to begin a three-day visit to Abuja on Monday, but the trip was cancelled amid security concerns, diplomatic officials told PREMIUM TIMES Friday.
The Pakistan Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ahmed Sirohey, confirmed the trip has been suspended but denied the decision was connected to security fears in Nigeria.
Mr. Sirohey said the visit was cancelled to allow President Hussain address "pressing domestic commitments". He did not provide details of those commitments or when the Pakistani government realized their urgency to suspend a long-planned trip.
"Due to pressing concerns in Pakistan, the visit of the president to Nigeria has been postponed; we shall use our diplomatic channel to agree on a new date," Mr. Sirohey said.
Dauda Danladi, Nigeria's High Commissioner to Pakistan, who also confirmed the postponement, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, said the Nigerian government has already been briefed by the Pakistani authorities.
But senior officials of the Pakistani embassy in Nigeria told PREMIUM TIMES the decision was taken in direct response to Nigeria's increasing security troubles that have seen more than 100 people killed since Monday, and 129 school girls abducted by suspected Boko Haram militants.
More than a dozen people were killed in separate clashes in Taraba State in addition to the 75 killed in Monday's deadly car bomb attack at a bus station in Nyanya, a few kilometres from the Abuja city centre.
The cancellation of the Pakistani president's trip is another blow to Nigeria's struggling image abroad, further badly dented this week by the government's handling of the abduction of schoolgirls in the north-eastern state of Borno.
The military Thursday retracted earlier claim that all but eight of the missing girls had been freed.
Pakistan itself faces some of the world's most horrific terrorist insurgency with a decade-old struggle against the Taliban.
Mr. Hussain was initially billed to arrive Nigeria with 70 government officials and textile tycoons on the invitation of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Pakistani deputy envoy to Nigeria, Mr. Sirohey, said the trip- the first in 32 years- would have enabled both countries to explore cooperation in petroleum resources, energy and domestic gas.
"We have huge pipe-to-gas across the country and there are about eight million customers served by our Natural Gas Company and they are provided gas in their houses," he had told journalists ahead of the planned Monday visit.
"Bills are sent to customers at the end of the month and the bill for a house of six people is not more than N300 per month. If it is a big house like you have in Maitama district in Abuja it is not more than N1500."

When Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for a seventh consecutive term in August 2013, he named the fight against corruption as the biggest priority of his new term. Almost a year later a series of exposés related to pay packages in Zimbabwe's loss-making parastatals has embarrassed the 90-year-old leader and his Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) government.
The scandals, dubbed "Salarygate" in local media, came to light in November last year when The Herald, a state-owned newspaper, began publishing details of executive remuneration at various public institutions.
For years, several parastatals--the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), state medical aid provider Premier Service Medical Aid Society (PSMAS), power utility Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) and national airline Air Zimbabwe--have been ravaged by debt and unable to pay workers' salaries, according to government reports. Yet these state-owned enterprises have been awarding enormous salaries and pay packages to their executives.
The publishing of the salary of ZBC chief executive, Happison Muchechetere, in November last year, opened the window into the rot. Mr Muchechetere's $40,000 a month salary was in stark contrast to the lot of the 1,000 workers employed at the ZBC, who at the time of the exposé had gone for six months without pay.
Jonathan Moyo, the information minister, intervened, issuing a 14-day ultimatum to the ZBC board to come up with a turnaround strategy. When the board, led by Cuthbert Dube--also the chief executive of PSMAS--failed to comply with the ultimatum, the minister dissolved it and ordered a forensic audit of the broadcaster.
The auditor-general's report, published last March, established that while ZBC workers went without pay, Mr Muchechetere continued to receive his salary and benefits that included school fees, fuel and entertainment allowances, medical aid and flights to international holiday destinations with family members. The report recommended that the broadcaster cut the pay of senior and middle management as well as retrench almost half the workforce.
Mr Muchechetere's salary was dwarfed by Mr Dube's, who was earning a staggering $535,000, including benefits, every month as chief executive of PSMAS, a position he has held since 1992. Revelations of Mr Dube's salary in the media last December saw hasty manoeuvres within government to force him from the insurer's helm. The government in January dissolved the PSMAS board, which was comprised of high-ranking state bureaucrats and Zanu-PF-linked officials.
Mr Dube is challenging his dismissal at the labour court and is claiming the pay owed to him between January and May this year. "What is clear is that Mr Dube is still employed by both PSMAS and its subsidiaries as there has been no termination of contract," said Jonathan Samkange, his lawyer.
How The Herald had access to the information remains a mystery, but senior Zanu-PF officials, among them Joice Mujuru, the vice-president, have alleged that the exposés were designed to tarnish the images of politicians linked to a Zanu-PF faction sympathetic to her.
"Salarygate", like all else in current Zimbabwean politics, must be seen in the context of the succession battle playing out within the ruling party. Mrs Mujuru is widely thought to lead one of the factions angling to take over from Mr Mugabe. Emmerson Mnangagwa, the justice minister, leads the rival faction.
Publicly both Mrs Mujuru and Mr Mnangagwa have denied leading any faction, which is why Mrs Mujuru's response to "Salarygate" amounted to a rare admission.
Mrs Mujuru chided the media in February for the string of exposés, saying they were fanning factionalism within the party. Then at a heated Politburo meeting of Zanu-PF in June, she blamed Mr Moyo for facilitating the exposés, according to Zanu-PF insiders who asked to remain anonymous. She accused him of having an "ulterior motive", presumably to discredit senior party officials linked to her faction, they said.
Webster Shamu, the former information minister, and Nicholas Goche, the former transport minister--under whose jurisdictions, respectively, the ailing ZBC and Air Zimbabwe fell during the "Salarygate" period--have both been linked to Mrs Mujuru's faction. In a cabinet swap last year, Mr Mugabe appointed Mr Shamu as the new minister of information and communication technology and Mr Goche as the new minister of labour and social welfare.
Money has always been crucial to Zanu-PF's internal politics, with well-heeled figures and groups pushing their interests. The rise of Mrs Mujuru herself was aided by her wealthy late husband and former army commander Solomon "Rex Nhongo" Mujuru. Mr Mujuru owned multiple farms and a diamond mine. He used his wealth to donate to party programmes, while behind the scenes he lobbied party officials to support his wife's political rise.
The ruling party owes its extended survival to patronage politics: state-owned enterprises have frequently been used as an avenue for rent-seeking, Charles Mangongera, an independent political analyst based in Harare, told Africa in Fact. "The chief executives were paid hefty salaries and in return they were funding the party. Control of the parastatals therefore becomes key," he said. "On another level, control of state institutions such as the ZBC is also crucial for the factions as it guarantees them favourable media coverage, which will also be key in the succession battle."
The series of revelations has proved hugely embarrassing for Zanu-PF, which is keen to cast itself as "pro-poor". The mega-salaries have been a central point of discussion in the local press, social media, radio talk shows and discussions on the streets.
While Mr Mugabe does not directly appoint parastatal heads--the prerogative lies with the relevant ministers--the ministers must inform him of their choices. Critics have long argued that the process gives too much power to these bureaucrats and is open to abuse and patronage. Too often, politically connected individuals take charge of parastatals ahead of more capable people.
Since the exposés, public servants' unions have become vocal in denouncing corruption and gross pay discrepancies, with several, including the Zimbabwe Teacher's Association (Zimta), calling for the government to punish the implicated executives.
Public servants' unions managed to exact a 23% raise in April after negotiations with the government that started in December last year. With this increase, the basic minimum wage of a public servant is now $320 a month--a far cry from the $550 the unions were demanding.
In a face-saving move, Patrick Chinamasa, the finance minister, announced in April a monthly salary limit of $6,000 for all parastatal heads. He conceded in June, however, that enforcing the cap would be difficult because contracts had already been signed with the executives and mechanisms to enforce compliance were non-existent. This meant that the administrators could challenge the government in the labour court. "We will proceed on a case-by-case basis and look at international best practice on how to set remuneration targets," Mr Chinamasa said at a press briefing in June.
Police have ruled out making any "Salarygate" arrests until the various ministries governing the parastatals have concluded their forensic audits, according to police spokeswoman Charity Charamba.
One reason Mr Mugabe is yet to deal decisively with corruption in government is that both factions in Zanu-PF are at the feeding trough, said Mary-Jane Ncube, the executive director of Transparency International Zimbabwe. With the party splitting beneath him, Mr Mugabe had "no appetite" for dealing with corruption, she said.
Berlin-based watchdog Transparency International ranked Zimbabwe a dismal 157th out of 177 nations in its 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index.
The excesses have put Zimbabwe's leaders' moral values under the spotlight, said Sifiso Ndlovu, chief executive of Zimta. "How do they [the Zanu-PF elite] justify living in opulence while being surrounded by a sea of poverty?" he asked. "How do ministers who are handlers of these parastatals recorrect [sic] what has been done? It's an entire overhaul of the whole system that is needed."
As long as executives remain politically connected it will be near-impossible to overhaul the system, said Memory Nguwi, a managing consultant with Industrial Psychology Consultants, an independent consultancy firm based in Harare. "The trend locally is that basic salaries have no link to individual performance. Instead top earners are connected either politically within the [Zanu-PF] organisation or have a good relationship with board members," he said.
While Mr Mugabe clings to power and factions within Zanu-PF position themselves to succeed him, using state resources, it seems more foolish than hopeful to expect anyone in the ruling party to improve the performance and condition of the country's beleaguered parastatals.

Maxwell, N; (2011) Three philosophical problems about consciousness and their possible resolution. Open Journal of Philosophy , 1 (1) , Article 1. 10.4236/ojpp.2011.11001.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Three big philosophical problems about consciousness are: Why does it exist? How do we explain and understand it? How can we explain brain-consciousness correlations? If functionalism were true, all three problems would be solved. But it is false, and that means all three problems remain unsolved (in that there is no other obvious candidate for a solution). Here, it is argued that the first problem cannot have a solution; this is inherent in the nature of explanation. The second problem is solved by recognizing that (a) there is an explanation as to why science cannot explain consciousness, and (b) consciousness can be explained by a different kind of explanation, empathic or "personalistic" explanation, compatible with, but not reducible to, scientific explanation. The third problem is solved by exploiting David Chalmers' "principle of structural coherence", and involves postulating that sensations experienced by us – visual, auditory, tactile, and so on – amount to minute scattered regions in a vast, multi dimensional "space" of all possible sensations, which vary smoothly, and in a linear way, throughout the space. There is also the space of all possible sentient brain processes. There is just one, unique one-one mapping between these two spaces that preserves continuity and linearity. It is this which provides the explanation as to why brain processes and sensations are correlated as they are. I consider objections to this unique-matching theory, and consider how the theory might be empirically confirmed.

Ground Improvement By Deep Vibratory Methods
By Klaus Kirsch, Fabian Kirsch
CRC Press – 2010 – 208 pages
CRC Press – 2010 – 208 pages
Vibro-compaction and vibro-stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over seventy years and are now in a position of unrivalled importance amongst modern foundation measures. The first works on granular soil by densification, and the second is used to displace and reinforce fine grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material.
This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers outlines the development of vibratory deep compaction, describes the equipment used, sets out the methods and techniques and provides state of the art design principles and quality control procedures. It also identifies the practical limitations of the methods. Case studies from South East Asia and the Middle East are used to illustrate the methods and to demonstrate how they apply in real world conditions. The book concludes with some variations of the basic methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods and gives contractual guidance.
"With this work, Klaus Kirsch and Fabian Kirsch provide an in-depth reference for a complex (some would say highly esoteric) topic, yet the authors achieve a clarity of style and of presentation that is a welcome departure from what one would expect considering the highly specialized nature of the subject matter.
All in all, this is a superb reference book…. Anyone involved with structural work or with the design of buildings in areas where ground improvement is required should not think twice about purchasing this outstanding reference." – Dominique J. Cheénne, Noise Control Engineering Journal

Fundamental Relationship Between Node Density and Delay in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks With Unreliable Links
Date Added: Jul 2011
Format: PDF
The authors investigate the fundamental relationship between node density and transmission delay in large-scale wireless ad hoc networks with unreliable links from percolation perspective. Previous works have already showed the relationship between transmission delay and distance from source to destination. However, it still remains as an open question how transmission delay varies in accordance with node density. Answering this question can provide guidance for determining the number of nodes to meet the delay requirement when designing ad hoc networks.

Juan Pablo Oramas On November 30th, the Padres non-tendered Juan Pablo Oramas (Ranked as the #20 prospect on Friarhood.com, Ranked as the #12 prospect heading into 2012 by Baseball America). Ten days later (12/10/12) the Padres were able to sign the 22-year old southpaw that is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Here is what our own Peter Friberg had to say about Oramas heading into 2012: Juan Oramas was described by outgoing Padres Scouting Director, Jason McCloud, as biggest potential to surprise in the system. Surprisingly, I actually have him ranked lower this year than I did last year. That's a function of talent in the organization not a dip in ability with Oramas. At worst (barring injury), Oramas is a lefty out of the 'pen. At best, he's another #3 starter. He's another vertically-challenged Padres pitcher with ability that exceeds his physical profile. My two cents: It's going to take some time for JPO to rehab, but he's a promising young lefty that has breezed through t...

text: I'll agree with Jeff in the following: -It is technically less impressive than PS3 versions -It has gimmicky controls -Lacks huge set pieces -(even though he doesn't say it outright) there is a cognitive disonence between the characters portrayal and your ability to kill armies. Still, the story was plenty engaging, at least for me, to want to see it through to the end, and it didn't feel broken like UC3 felt to me. The gameplay had a lot of arena encounters but they never felt overly abondant like, say, Uncharted 1. I did not feel confused, nor bored, or even feeling empty after the ending. I enjoyed it enough to give it a 4/5.

The ongoing fight between the city of Las Vegas and the acequias over water rights on the Rio Gallinas rages on, and the battleground right now appears to be the court of public opinion.
Acequia users in recent weeks have used the radio airwaves and the newspaper opinions page to spread their message. Wednesday evening, they went a step further, showing up at the City Council meeting and appealing to the city's governing body to settle the dispute through mediation rather than litigation.

SANTA FE — Gov. Susana Martinez wrapped up her first legislative session Saturday, feeling grateful that she was able to make good on at least some of her campaign promises to trim state spending, crack down on criminals and start reforming New Mexico's education system.
Erma Sena and Bonnie Grace were among the movie goers walking to Ilfeld Auditorium to watch a film at a venue one doesn't often think of as a movie theater.
"I like to enjoy a good movie, but the thing that really adds to my enjoyment, is coming to this most beautiful and historic auditorium to see a film," Sena said.
Grace said while the movies are free, she and others like to leave a little donation.

Albuquerque's first electric car charging stations are powered up. According to an Associated Press report, the downtown stations are part of a pilot project, and for the next six months, owners of electric vehicles can bring their rides to the station and say charge it and pay nothing. Mayor Richard Berry said they will pay dividends once people start buying electric cars.
Years before Robertson High School officials were put on notice that Jay Quintana allegedly had a long-term sexual relationship with one of his students, they received complaints from three other female students that he had touched them inappropriately and a complaint from another that he had made a sexually suggestive remark to her in class.
San Miguel County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a wind energy ordinance governing the development of wind farms in the county despite concerns that such projects would create noise pollution and hurt the quality of life for residents who live near them.
Among the top criticisms of the ordinance was the half-mile setback, the requirement that wind turbines be at least half a mile away from any occupied house, commercial building, hospital, school or church. A county task force had previously recommended a three-mile setback.

What do retailers have to do to win over today's empowered consumer? I believe that retailers must use a combination of technology, information and old fashion retail intuition to provide the consumer with innovative and relevant experiences. Now in its fourth year, the IBM Smarter Consumer Study is a survey conducted with 1,976 Australian consumers across nine product categories to understand the needs of the empowered consumer.
In the study, we found out that the "brick and mortar" store remains the cornerstone of the shopping experience, however, the empowered consumer is transitioning to a mixture of both online and offline channels to make purchases. Today's empowered consumer expects the best of both worlds, the challenge for retailers is to blend the best characteristics of both to deliver a seamless compelling shopping experience. Additionally, we found that Australians are waiting to be courted by retailers to become advocates of their brand, with 63% of Australians being classified as neither antagonists nor advocates, up from 54% in 2012, and 29% in 2011.
The Australian research revealed three important trends:
As the consumer transitions between online and offline purchasing, success will be determined by the retailers' ability to reach consumers through a growing number of channels and deliver a seamless omni-channel shopping experience across these channels. To achieve this vision, retailers must endeavour to tailor and synchronise customer interactions, capture and synthesise customer data to enable personalised offerings and infuse physical stores with digital capabilities. The empowered consumer is ready to engage in diverse, innovative shopping experiences, how can you connect with this transitioning shopper?
To join the discussion follow me on Twitter, @iepwong_ibm and @IBMthinkersANZ or leave a comment below.

it's shocking to me that much richer more advanced countries like canada and the US would have worse internet???
They're really, really big countries, together they're almost an entire continent. Regardless of how rich and powerful they are, the challenge of providing broadband internet to everyone across an continent is considerably more complex than providing it to a couple of million people on some relatively small islands.
To make matters worse for the US, their haste to roll broadband out across the country allowed the formation localised monopolies. In some areas, particularly rural areas, there's only one available ISP, and the lack of competition means there's little incentive to improve the network infrastructure for those customers.
But even if the US and all nations across the world had excellent broadband services available, an always-online game console is still an offensive concept. It has nothing to do with piracy and nothing to do with providing a better service to customers. It has everything to do with giving Microsoft greater control over what content we consume and providing them an assured outlet for advertising.
Robert Maxwell wrote:
Indeed. That's why I find all this speculation tedious. No one here knows if it actually will be "always online." Even if Microsoft says it is, what does that actually mean? How much flexibility is there? Again, no one here knows. Just seems like there's a whole lot of Sony fanboying going on, instead.
I don't think the backlash against this rumour has been because of fanboyism, many of the loudest critics have been Xbox 360 owners, including myself. I don't want to switch consoles to the PS4 next generation, I'd lose everything associated with my Xbox account, but if MS does decide to implement this crazy feature then I will end up having to switch. Hopefully the rumour isn't true, but Microsoft does have a history of pig-headedly pushing unpopular features onto consumers to further their wider agenda, which is something we've seen most recently with the way they handled Windows 8's new interface. I see this backlash as a shot across their bow to warn them not to pursue this feature.

I joined Explore in 2012, but have been working as a tour guide for nearly twenty years. Now it is my main occupation, along with writing - usually walking or cycling guides, but also articles, brochures and books. Outside of work I am married with two grown-up sons and three grandsons.
On your trip you can look forward to some great walking, great food, great views and few hills.
My top tip? We are not part of the EU or the UK so have our own money. There is no exchange rate with Pounds Sterling but you can only use it in the Channel Islands, so make sure you spend it here!

Again, MVP IS NOT who is most valuable to their team. It is the player who is more valuable than any other to any team.
Brady is having a better years based on Gomer's nearly 2.5X as many INTs as Tom....
But.... Fetus Head has previously won such an opinion based award he did not deserve. So don't be shocked if they give him his 5th. Like Luck, Manning's hype is revolting.
Fetus head? Based on your posts I assume you are at least 50 years old. I would think that you would have matured enough to stop using childish names to describe others? Clearly I am wrong, and jealousy is a significantly stronger emotion than I have assumed.
Stop it! You've hung around here long enough to know that Babe loves Tom, almost as much as you love Ol' Horseface. Incidently, did your wife finally make you take down the Peyton poster that you had hung on the ceiling, over your bed?? LOL!!!

Alpine ships stereo with iPod connectivity
updated 05:00 pm EDT, Tue June 5, 2007
Alpine iPod-ready stereo
Alpine Electronics today began shipping its iDA-X001 digital media head unit with built-in iPod connectivity. The head unit features a USB connection, allows users to navigate through all of the digital content on an iPod, and is designed with the same screen ratio as the iPod itself with a 320x240 color TFT screen. The screen displays artist, album, and track information as well as album art from the iPod while offering three screen-view options. Users can choose to view album art as well as the song name and track information; larger album art and the song name only; or clock and calendar information. Apple's fifth-generation iPods with the latest firmware can link directly to the iDA-X001 via USB, while its Ai-NET BUS platform allows the head unit to connect to a variety of digital media sources and formats such as XM, SIRIUS, and more. Alpine's iDA-X001 digital media head is priced at $450.

Stole rucksack
Posted: March 13, 2014|
A STAFF member at a St Ives shop helped to catch a thief when he took his photograph after suspecting him of stealing a rucksack.
At Truro Magistrates' Court, Matthew Fuller, 34, of Kenwyn Mews, Truro, pleaded guilty to taking the bag valued at £139.99 from Mountain Warehouse on January 31.
Staff had seen him leave with the bag and challenged him outside, but he walked off, leaving the bag behind on the pavement. It was later found to be cut where the security and price tags had been removed by him with a knife and was not saleable. Fuller was identified from the photograph.
Elliott Moore, for the defence, said Fuller had been released from prison in mid-January, was sleeping rough, and wanted the bag to hold his possessions.
Fuller was curfewed three nights a week for three months and told to pay compensation of £139.99 and £145 costs and surcharge.

Re: Winds of freedom for graphic drivers!!!

or gaming - i.e. i have a tripple head setup (4800x1200 desktop
resolution) and there is no way to reproduce that with intel hardware
at the time being (not taking into account reduced performance).
I certainly would appreciate it if AMD would open source the ATI drivers,
so that there could be a high performance well debugged 3D solution
for Linux in future, and i would dump nvidia hardware the second i think
AMD/ATI is the better solution - but there is no schedule or even a
confirmation from AMD for this to happen.
So at least for me and today, nvidia is the only way to go. As
already told in an earlier post: "average" Linux users that can life
with lower 3D performance on single head setups may likely opt
for intel HW in future - they propably did that in the past, anyway,
because why should somebody buy an expensive 3D card when
he intends to only use the OSS 2D driver?

issues that prevents nvidia from open sourcing their drivers: it's about
the PC architecture requireing a kernel module for DMA to work - and
non-GPL kernel modules is what this fuzz is mostly about, right?

In this context: although intel published driver sources for the 82Q965,
you can't download the data sheet for the GMA3000 (on-chip graphic).
The 965 data sheet includes a section for the GMA3000, but this only
includes a white paper describing the features for the 82Q965.
Means: bugs in the intel driver can be *much* easier fixed than for
object code drivers, but you hardly can implement new features,
simply because you don't know which register to access in which way.
So "in the spirit of Linux" this is actually not very open! (nevertheless
it's a good move from Intel).

Part of that fear seems to have to do with PCIe (which is why I brought it up), at least according to the links provided, which is why I lament the current lack of action with hypertransport GPUs and look forward to possible future such action from AMD. I am of course not an industry insider, so I cannot vouch for the correctness of the information provided, but it certainly would explain a lot.
I briefly studied the HT spec some times ago and i'm not sure how
HT could help avoiding a kernel module, because you still need to
handle DMA and interrupts on kernel level. It might be feasible to
write a generic (GPLed) DMA virt/phys address conversion and
"interrupt redirection" kernel module that would allow to implement
a 3D driver completly in user space - but this would then also
apply for PCIe.

i.e. UT2004 and Googleearth and have to respect that those are

solution, just because for the Linux alternative, 1% is closed source?
Sounds like a strange logic to me ...

ACK - that's what probably 99.9% of all gamers do, anyway.

Sorry, but in my ears, this sounds like complete non-sense!

My career is my number one focus. I feel that if you can find happiness in work, it can be an important foundation to an overall happy life. I'm the Culinary Director for the company Blue Apron. One of the favorite aspects of my job is that it is something that brings people together. My decision to became a chef was because I loved food, and wanted to work in a creative field. Travel was the 2nd most important reason and thankfully its provided a lot of that. In those travels I have really enjoyed meeting new people, and learning from them and their cultures. Lucky for me, my favorite place in the world so far is the city I live in...NYC What I'm looking for in "my match" is a pretty lady with an even prettier personality. Someone that takes care of them self (I like to think I do the same). Having similar focuses and interests would obviously help. Really...those are the basics.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Hockey, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga

An office that seldom gets much public attention has provided one of Minnesota's most intense primary battles this summer.
State Auditor Rebecca Otto is trying to fend off a hard challenge from fellow Democrat Matt Entenza, a former top legislator who is spending loads of personal money on the race. The contest pits former legislative colleagues and has proven acrimonious from the get-go.
Tuesday's winner next faces Republican Randy Gilbert, the Independence Party's Patrick Dean and the Grassroots Party's Judith Schwartzbacker.
The state Democratic Party has rallied to Otto's defense with mailings and get-out-the-vote calls. But Entenza has waged a visible campaign with the help of $675,000 in personal contributions and big-time endorsements.
Otto says she hopes voters reward her earnest approach to the job over the past two terms.

DON'T MISS: Chevy Camaro Z/28 Hits The Dyno With Redline Motorsports: Video
Audi has already started work on a new RS 3 Sportback, but the fact that the A3 clubsport quattro concept is a sedan suggests that an RS 3 sedan will eventually be launched as well. Given the popularity of the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, a new RS 3 sedan from Audi seems like a no-brainer.
The A3 clubsport quattro concept features a number of RS clues including air curtains in the front intakes, a mesh grille, pumped fenders, and oval exhaust tips integrated with the rear bumper. However, the biggest clue that this may be an RS 3 preview is the five-cylinder engine, previous versions of which have been fitted to the former TT RS as well as the former RS 3 Sportback and RS Q3 sold overseas.
"The Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept shows our car and tuning fans at the Wörthersee just how much sporty potential there is in the A3 family and in our top-of-the-line engines such as the 2.5 TFSI," Audi R&D boss Ulrich Hackenberg said in a statement. "We have pushed the limits in every respect with this show car: power, dynamics, sound, design."

The chef of this popular Cambodian-French fusion house, Longtaine de Monteiro, learned to manage a Cambodian kitchen as the wife of a diplomat, and for a time ran a restaurant in Provence. The common element in both cuisines (which are listed separately on the menu) is garlic, from appetizers such as moules (mussels) swimming in garlic-infused butter to superb Cambodian spring rolls, delicate salads, and a red curry of surpassingly fresh flavor. Vegetarians and diners suffering food allergies are easily accommodated. Equally important in this parking-challenged city: the restaurant has a large parking lot in the back (park anywhere at night; use "Elephant Walk" spaces during weekday lunch).

text: Nadal has played very well on grass the last two years, including taking Federer to five sets last year in the final. On top of that, his game seems to constantly be improving. Djokovic has established himself as the premier hard court player, and the grass should play right into his hands as the aggressor. Many might even argue that these two are the co-favourites this year. I know it's a tough question, but who do you think has the better chance to win Wimbledon this year?

How does acceptance of sexual performance affect relationships?
A lot of this can be compensated for by just getting along well, and sort of having good communication and acceptance of each other.
And what happens is, if she's feeling abandoned, if she's feeling rejected, there's a tendency to get a little irritable about that,
and that irritability can cause him to be avoidant, and that avoidant can cause more irritability and that's the kind of viscous cycle you see.
There is an issue that goes on, because essentially you're raising the issue of desire and frequency of sex.
And it is typical in our society for men to be seeking out sex more frequently earlier in the relationship and less frequently later in the relationship,
and in part that's because these same men are uncomfortable with their own declining performance and ability. So you've got two things driving this, in part,
he's living in a society that says she was more attractive when she was younger, but he also knows he was more attractive when he was younger on one level.
He knows he was more robust and more potent when he was younger, and he's got some discomfort about that, so to put it short,
the more accepting you can be of each other, the more supportive you can be of each other,
the more loving you can be of each other, the better off you're going to be, and if sex is a drop less frequent,
but there's a lot of intimacy and closeness, it's going to work out fine.
If sex is less frequent and somebody gets irritable and nasty and critical, then there's going to be avoidance and that can lead to much bigger problems.
