Precision with Hand Tools
Garrett Hack
July 27-31
Hand tools open up new vistas of efficiency, accuracy, and enjoyment for woodworkers, even those with modest skills. In this course, Garrett leads participants through a series of exercises to expand and refine their hand tool skills. These include flattening boards to polished smoothness, jointing two edges to form an invisible glue joint, fairing curves, fitting drawer faces, shaping and chamfering edges, making an inlay, and cutting joinery, among others. Through discussion and demonstration, Garrett explores the tuning and efficient use of a wide variety of planes, marking tools, chisels, and saws.
Participants can choose to work entirely with sample boards or to build a small, pre-designed table that links these same skills to the challenges of working to reality. The table allows room for variation, and either path provides lasting insights and skills for integrating hand tools into your working process.
Garrett Hack builds contemporary interpretations of classic forms on his farm in Thetford Center, VT. A furniture maker for 40 years, Garrett originally trained at Boston University's Program in Artisanry. He is the author of The Handplane Book (Taunton Press, 1997) and Classic Hand Tools (Taunton Press, 1999). He is a contributing editor at Fine Woodworking, former chairman of the New Hampshire Furniture Masters, and he teaches throughout the U.S., as well as in Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Austria, Australia, and Japan. His website is garretthack.com.
Open to all except absolute beginners.

Chem. Soc. [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.6, pp. 1007-1016. ISSN 0103-5053. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-50532010000600010.
Three series of novel fused nitrogen heterocyclic systems such as 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-α ] pyridines (5-7 and 9), pyrido[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazines (10, 11, 13 and 15), and pyrido[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazepines (17, 18, 20 and 22) linked with a chromone moiety were synthesized from the key intermediate 1,6-diamino-(6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (4) with some electrophilic reagents. The structures of the novel compounds were established by elemental analyses and spectral data. All the products were also screened invitro for their antimicrobial activity. Compounds 7, 9 and 15 showed the highest activities when compared with the reference drugs.

What Do You Mean?
A startup hopes to improve a wide variety of applications with software that can interpret words.
Software is constantly trying to figure out what you mean, and often it guesses wrong. If you were curious about employment at the maker of iPods and typed "turnover at apple" into Google, the top results would be for apple turnover recipes.
It's not just search engines—the same problem crops up in software that aims to translate, recognize speech, analyze the mood surrounding a product launch, or deliver targeted advertisements.
A startup called Idilia, based in Montreal, Canada, has built software to make all these applications better at what they do. The software focuses on the problem of word-sense disambiguation—choosing the meaning of a word based on what makes the most sense in context. Word-sense disambiguation is an old artificial intelligence problem that has proved thorny over the decades. For a computer to apply a word correctly in context, it has to have a huge amount of background information—not just what's in a dictionary but also a map of how words fit together both grammatically and conceptually.
Matthew Colledge, Idilia's CEO, became obsessed with the problem more than a decade ago. "For me, it was the reason we can't get a computer to think," Colledge says. He founded Idilia in 2000 and has since spent more than $30 million of public and private investments to build the company's software.
What makes word-sense disambiguation worth tackling now, he says, is that processing power has increased sufficiently to make a difference. It's now possible to store enough information to train algorithms, and to run a lot of algorithms to analyze sentences and expect them to finish within a reasonable period of time.
Idilia runs many algorithms in parallel. For example, one of its algorithms determines what meaning for a word is statistically most likely, while another watches for how commonly a word has a given meaning in the context of the words around it, and still another analyzes grammatical structure to figure out what role the word plays in a sentence. A "super-algorithm" then weighs these various results and selects a meaning based on them all.
Colledge demonstrates the software with the example "Was Martha Stewart framed?" Though one of Idilia's algorithms determines that "frame" is most likely statistically to refer to a picture frame, another algorithm rejects this notion by identifying that "Martha Stewart" is a person, and people don't get framed like pictures. The super-algorithm eliminates one meaning after another, and finally settles on "framed" as in "entrapped."
Adding this intelligence to a search engine, Colledge says, could greatly improve the quality of its results. He shows that the query about Martha Stewart brings up a bunch of results about crafts and picture frames in Google. A plug-in that Idilia has built to demonstrate its capability does much better. It analyzes the query and feeds Google the paraphrase instead, throws away any results that don't fit the context, and produces a list of sites addressing Stewart's troubles with the law.

Why college sports are better than professional leagues

Trials 2011, 12:202 doi:10.1186/1745-6215-12-202Published: 9 September 2011
This article is part of a series of papers examining ethical issues in cluster randomized trials (CRTs) in health research. In the introductory paper in this series, we set out six areas of inquiry that must be addressed if the cluster trial is to be set on a firm ethical foundation. This paper addresses the second of the questions posed, namely, from whom, when, and how must informed consent be obtained in CRTs in health research? The ethical principle of respect for persons implies that researchers are generally obligated to obtain the informed consent of research subjects. Aspects of CRT design, including cluster randomization, cluster level interventions, and cluster size, present challenges to obtaining informed consent. Here we address five questions related to consent and CRTs: How can a study proceed if informed consent is not possible? Is consent to randomization always required? What information must be disclosed to potential subjects if their cluster has already been randomized? Is passive consent a valid substitute for informed consent? Do health professionals have a moral obligation to participate as subjects in CRTs designed to improve professional practice?
We set out a framework based on the moral foundations of informed consent and international regulatory provisions to address each of these questions. First, when informed consent is not possible, a study may proceed if a research ethics committee is satisfied that conditions for a waiver of consent are satisfied. Second, informed consent to randomization may not be required if it is not possible to approach subjects at the time of randomization. Third, when potential subjects are approached after cluster randomization, they must be provided with a detailed description of the interventions in the trial arm to which their cluster has been randomized; detailed information on interventions in other trial arms need not be provided. Fourth, while passive consent may serve a variety of practical ends, it is not a substitute for valid informed consent. Fifth, while health professionals may have a moral obligation to participate as subjects in research, this does not diminish the necessity of informed consent to study participation.

1968-07-24 Jose Legra w rsc 5 (15) Howard Winstone, Coney Beach Arena, Porthcawl, Wales - WBC
1968-07-24 Jose Legra w rsc 5 (15) Howard Winstone, Coney Beach Arena, Porthcawl, Wales - WBC. Referee: Harry Gibbs. Being dropped for a short count in the first round was a huge blow to the champion's pride, but worse still when he arose his left eye was completely closed. From then on Winstone (125¼) was never in with a chance as Legra (125½) automatically worked away on the blind side, while creating even more damage to the eye. Five times the referee inspected the damage, and when Legra upped the tempo in the fifth with four rapid punches to the head the third man immediately called it off with 55 seconds of the round remaining.
Prior to this fight, fans in Australia had been clamouring for Johnny Famechon (the son of Andre and nephew of Ray and Emile, the legendary French boxing family) to be given a world title opportunity, having won the British Empire title on beating John O'Brien by an 11th round kayo at the Festival Hall, Melbourne, Australia on 24 November 1967, before going on to defeat Antonio Herrera (w pts 10 at the Festival Hall on 5 April). With this in mind, the promoters had billed his 15-round fight against Bobby Valdez, which he won on a 13th-round disqualification at The Stadium, Sydney on 20 May, for the world title. Although their intentions were good they were not supported by the Australian Boxing Federation.
However, following wins over Billy McGrandle (when he successfully defended the Empire title with a 12th-round stoppage at the Festival Hall on 13 September) and Nevio Carbi, Famechon was booked to challenge the WBC champion, Jose Legra, in London on 3 December. Although it soured somewhat when Legra pulled out the week before having injured a shoulder, Famechon made good use of his stay in England while preparing for the rescheduled date in January. In a career encompassing 57 contests, other men that Famechon had beaten included Ollie Taylor, Mario Sitri, Lothar Abend, Gilberto Biondi, Don Johnson and Freddie Rengifo, and he had reversed all but one of four defeats.

Are you aware of the forum place head-fi.org ? At head-fi , they like to do headphone comparisons , advise everyone, and also dive into endless subjective considerations (subjectivity is not desired at hydrogenaudio).
Otherwise, all I can say is that usually most headphone from monster are not well-regarded by audiophiles.
The problem with monster headphone , is that at least half of value is from fashion, and also there's some disdain for a producer of overpriced cables.

Those seem to be a special edition of the Beats Pros, for which any number of reviews (and even measurement data) is available. In short, they aren't even that bass-heavy, they're very easy to drive (in part due to very low impedance, generally under 20 ohms), and built like a tank, but they weigh a ton (over 400 g) and aren't particularly comfortable. And of course, quite pricey.
A700s, for which you'll find measurement data on Headroom rather than InnerFidelity, are quite a bit more affordable. (So I don't really get why one should compare these two.) They also receive far more positive comments WRT comfort, not the least due to a more moderate weight of 290 g. I don't think they qualify for tank-like build though, in fact the AT "wings" are not known for taking too much abuse. Definitely cans for domestic use. Sound-wise, they should be a little brighter. Assuming the sensitivity spec is right, still very easy to drive - maybe 3 or 4 dB quieter than the Beats Pros. Isolation is even less than on the Beats Pros (which are not impressive in this regard to begin with).
Which one to buy would depend on intended use. A700s should make decent gaming / music cans at home. For portable use I'd much rather resort to the potentially much better isolation of IEMs though (not to mention less unwieldy dimensions) - or if those are out of the question, some other, better-isolating models. Maybe HD25-1s (assuming no glasses).

For high-quality closed headphones, I think it's hard to do better than the Beyerdynamic DT770. They're available in various impedance/sensitivity (I think 32Ω, 80Ω, 250Ω, and 600Ω). There are measurements on Headroom. You can usually find them for around $200 (somewhat more than the ATH-700, but much less than the Beats). The isolation is quite good too at -12dB (not as good as IEMs like the Etymotic ER-4, but as good as any other circumaural headphones I've used, and similar to what Headroom quotes for the ATH-A900).
They're also very comfortable (I haven't tried wearing them for huge amounts of time, but I own the DT880 which has very similar construction, and those are very good in that respect).

The Undoing of a Lady is the final book in the "Fortune's Folly" trilogy, and this fact was very obvious while reading it. While I understand that the books in a trilogy need to be connected by an overreaching story arc to work together successfully, I was disappointed by just how much this final novel relied upon the previous two books. I doubt that it would be possible to enjoy this book without first reading its predecessors.
Nathaniel ("Nat") Waterhouse is about to marry heiress Flora Minchin and become fifty thousand pounds richer. He doesn't love her and never will, but is prepared to sacrifice love for the money he so desperately needs. Lady Elizabeth Scarlet isn't prepared to let Nat make that sacrifice. In order to prevent the marriage from taking place, she locks him in a building from which he won't be able to escape. She plans on staying there with him until he misses his wedding. When Nat points out that this will ruin her reputation, tempers flare. With neither of them thinking clearly, it's only a matter of time before passion reigns and Lizzie loses her virginity to Nathaniel, and in the process realizing that she has always loved him.
Unfortunately, Nat doesn't experience the same revelation of love, though he does realize that he can't go through with marrying Flora. He still needs the money the marriage would have provided and marrying Lizzie would both provide it and free her from her family. He forces her to marry him, in the process making it very clear that love isn't part of what's being offered. But will Lizzie be able to settle for anything less?
The writing is, as always, stunning. Cornick's voice is smooth and highly readable, and Lizzie is a fascinating character. The impression I'd formed while reading the last two books was that she was simply a frustrating hoyden, and that I wouldn't enjoy reading about her. I could not have been more wrong, and yet more right at the same time. Wrong because, over the course of this book, I came to understand exactly why Lizzie acted the way she did, and right because reading about how she felt was heartbreaking.
Lizzie's parents are both dead, and neither of her brothers has treated her the way they should have. Everyone she's every loved has let her down, and as a result, she is severely depressed for a large part of the novel. She desperately needs someone strong enough to support her, someone who can love her the way she needs to be loved. Based on Nat's actions, I have a hard time believing he's that person, and I have an even harder time understanding why Lizzie fell in love with him.
Nat is a frustrating character for many reasons, though his treatment of Lizzie certainly plays the largest part. His behavior is often puzzling; a man whose job involves dealing with criminals on a daily basis would surely understand that a blackmailer is never satisfied, and his sudden reversals of opinion regarding Lizzie's temperament left me bewildered.
But it was his treatment of Lizzie that really made me dislike him. I think Miles describes Nat's actions best when he tells Nat that "Lizzie has been in love with you for months and you have ridden roughshod over her feelings and emotions with a willful cruelty." Yes, Lizzie's actions are often immature, but they're understandable and, as such, forgivable. Nat's callous cruelty was the cause of many of them, and the fact that he manages to be aroused when she's dying inside made it impossible for me to see him as a sympathetic hero.
While Nat and Lizzie's story forms the main part of the plot, there are also several back stories. Two other couples either find their happy endings or progress to the point where it is easy to believe that they could move in that direction, there's a murder to solve, and the conflict over the reinstatement of Fortune's Folly's medieval laws finally comes to a conclusion. The novel neatly ties up all the loose ends from the previous two books.
At the end of the day, romance is about happy endings, and I can't bring myself to believe in Nat and Lizzie's. I don't think he can give her hers, and I'm not sure that he deserves his own. For me, The Undoing of a Lady was a disappointing ending to the "Fortune's Folly" trilogy.

Heath care (or any ohter scarce resource) needs to be rationed in some way. Proponents of socailized meidicine think the government should do it. Government involvement is the problem, not the solution. If the market were truely free, affordability would not be an issue. Do we need to buy food insurance to be able to afford food? The government is already the largest purchaser of health care and look at what a mess it is.
I saw a piece on PBS where they interviewed people in Europe and Japan. In those countries, no one ever goes without care because they cannot pay and no one goes bankrupt because of health care bills. Until we can say the same thing we cannot brag about having the best healthcare system in the world.
While there is reason to believe that a total government solution could cause significant upheaval...government should play a much larger role is setting free market standards. Right now the HMOs are making tremendous profits by making the system much more complicated than it needs to be...and keeping employer-based healthcare as the only group option for most people, the HMOs create further complexity.
Allow the free market to remain, but set standards...just as in the Medicare Supplement market. Companies that want to operate in the potentially lucrative parts of providing healthcare coverage, need also to subsidize the basics. With today's system we have nothing.
Given the worsening statistics, I think we can state unequivocally that the current private public model of financing is a dismal failure. While shared responsibility sounds like a desirable goal, what it has increasingly become is a downhill race to shift costs to individuals. We really need a new model for financing health care where there is no shirking of responsibility. Individual mandates may sound good, but it is failing in Massachusetts. The only true solution to this mess is a single payer health care system with an emphasis on prevention and electronic technology. Interestingly, single payer is probably the only way we can achieve enough savings to invest in prevention and technology. Pouring more into this fiscal mess is simply wasting money.
I highly recommend reading McKinsey & Company's study on why the US pays $477 billion more than peer countries after adjusting for wealth. http://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/rp/healthcare/accounting_cost_healthcare.asp It's truly an eye opener. The health care issue is a truly complex one. My biggest issue with health care is it is the only "product/service" I purchase that I do not know the total price until AFTER I make the purchase. I believe that transparency (price, efficacy rates, quality) should be readily available so that I can make the best informed decision possible. If I can research the price and quality of any other big ticket item (say a T.V. or vehicle, etc.) I can decide what features I can live with given what I can afford. I'm not a huge fan of government involvement inasmuch as I see it as a takeaway in freedom of choice. Competition through private ownership has consistently provided the incentive for innovation. As far as my health care goes, trust me, I am taking personal accountability through changing my exercise and eating habits so that no matter what changes occur in the health care system, I will be best situated to face whatever life throws my way.
if you suffer from idiopathic pain call Senator Hillary Clinton and request that she obtain the publicly available personnel file of Dr. Eugene J. Ratner who treated the cause of idiopathic pain for the Veterans Administration at Fort Hamilton see eg The Lancet p.106 (Jan. 14, 1978) and and continues to treat the cause of idiopathic pain.
Clinton can pull all records related to Ratner and his work.
if you'd like to see how the US was once able to treat the cause of idiopathic pain, call John Malone at 312-440-2500 and ask for a copy of Ratner's personnel file.
idiopathic pain conditions include but are not limited to fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, causalgia, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, atypical facial neuralgia etc.
Nutrition and diet are keys to a healthy life style. It's amazing how lax the standards for nutritional supplements are. A web site called docopolis.com examines these issues and provides a wealth of information on effective supplements and their interactivity with other drugs you may be taking. Their "education page" is first rate. It has numerous links to many independent informative reources, many onf them govenrment based, Like the NIH. Check out docopolis.com to see how your health may improve from "good" nutritional supplements.
I'm 56 and have been in medicine my entire life. (My grandmother told me to be a doctor when I was 10).
Here's my view on why US healthcare is going bankrupt: high-priced, hospital-based care is its only business model.
That's all about to change. In fact, the shift from the hospital to the clinic, from delaying death to preventive medicine, is already about 10 years overdue.
We found out how to reverse 90% of kidney failure, and probably heart disease, 15 years ago. Recently, my company (www.genomed.com) found 3,000 genes that cause 2/3 of cancers in whites.
We can already offer cheap health insurance for $3K a year, half the price of a regular health plan. We can save healthcare costs by keeping people healthier and out of the hospital.

Whether you call it "universal healthcare", "single payer", or "socialized medicine", the reality of all of these programs is that they fail to deliver in the very areas in which their champions claim they excel. Case in point - the UK uses a socialized medicine system; the average wait time for surgery for patients diagnosed with operable colon cancer is 8 months in some postal codes. While that wait time in itself is blood-curdling, the lack of consistency in the delivery of care is, perhaps, a bigger issue. The fact is that in the UK's system, patients from more affluent (read richer tax base) postal codes have significantly shorter waiting periods for access to care than patients from the lower income areas. Furthermore, many British citizens pay for private "supplemental" insurance policies that do nothing more than move them up on the wait list when care is needed. Why, if that system works so well, do these individuals pay significant premiums for policies that supplement the government plan, for which they already pay crippling taxes to support? Why do thousands of Canadians who live in border states purchase private health insurance in states like Michigan, and then travel across the border to access care? It's because the quality of and access to care in the Canadian socialized medicine system are deplorable as compared to the US. To look at it another way, imagine your last trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles - got that? Now, imagine dealing with that same caliber of government employee, not to renew your driver's license, but to schedule chemotherapy for your spouse or child. Putting the government - be it Federal, State or Local - in charge of any more of our healthcare would be a disaster. The fact is that our delivery system is the best in the world. Americans are not patient people as a society - if we have to wait three or four days for an MRI, we get irritated. What we don't realize is that many people in other countries would dearly love to have the ready access to quality care that so many of us take for granted - even folks whose home country supports a socialized medicine system.
Today, the UK "NICE" (what a poor name) declared that they will not pay for Avastin for lung cancer having already decided not to cover it for colon cancer. This is what a socialized system would lead to. Medicines that clearly offer significant survival advantages are not even available because of the government regulation. In my view, the ability to choose what care you want is key -- and let the market work. The second condition, of course, is personal responsibility and people need to purchase their own coverage -- much as we must do with car insurance. Then we will be able to have some rationalization of the medical care process.
This is an awful article. No one "scrimps" on healthcare in America. We have the best healthcare in the world. Please stop running putrid stories like this that simply serve to mislead the public. Everyone has access to all the healthcare they need. Lets get this healthcare "right" discussion off the table and get back to the real issue of getting rid of jury trials.
A national healthcare program is insane, look how Congress works. I like what Personally Accountable brings up. My question is why can't we get the prices our insurance comapany has negotiated with the providers in the area we live. Most people don't know that their insurance company has negotiated different prices for the same procedure at each of the providers in a geographic area. That price differences in the hands of the consumer is the door to price competition, which is the door to making providers remove cost from the system, which is the door to more afforadable healthcare, which is the door to being able to more people to get healthcare and gives the rest of us a better ability to help those who truly need the help.
The insurance company's need to give the negotiated price to their premium paying customers, the 250 million of us that have and pay for healthcare insurance, and allow us to use that information just like we use it to make all of our financial decisions....and we'll show you how to remove cost from the system and how to provide coverage for the 47 million who don't have healthcare coverage. When cost is the problem, you have to focus on the money. Yes, it really is that simple, just show us the money.

Russian Ministry of Defense plans to sign contracts for delivery of 50 new Su-30SM fighters and 10 Yak-130 operational trainers, Lenta.ru reports with reference to a source close to United Aircraft Corporation. The new fighters will be operated by Russian navy; first vehicles will be delivered to the customer by the end of 2015. The contract's value will exceed $2 billion.
The ministry signed two contracts for delivery of Su-30SM fighters in 2012. Under these contracts Irkut Corporation must deliver 60 new Su-30SMs to the customer. It was reported earlier that Su-30SM fighters will replace outdated vehicles operated by the aviation of the Black Sea Fleet. According to one of the abovementioned contracts the deliveries should be completed by 2016.
Su-30SM is the modification of Su-30MK developed for Russian armed forces. The jet's maximum flight speed is 2.100 km/h; its range is 3000 km. Su-30SM is able to carry a payload of 8 tons.

The Lyons senior hurler loses to East Rochester, 7-4, on Tuesday afternoon at ER.
Lyons pitcher Derick Fera did not have his best stuff on Tuesday afternoon as the senior attempted to tie the Section 5 career win record of 34.
Fera's total remains at 33 following a 7-4 loss at East Rochester.
"We did know about it but we're happy he didn't get it against us," said ER coach Pat Walsh. "He is a good baseball player. He makes that team go. Derick is a good pitcher, but he also throws a lot of pitches. We've faced him nine times for four years now. He has a tendency to get the pitch count up, but we've been working on swinging at strikes. His curveball was not going for strikes, and the guys were taking, which good hitters do.
"He would have fit in well with the Brown and White. He's a gamer. I have gotten to know him over the years through basketball and baseball, and I think the world of him. He's a great kid."
Scott Bartucca, who pitched for Waterloo, continues to hold the record with 34 wins, which he achieved from 1978-81.
Three other hurlers also have 33 career wins: Brian Pullybank, Caledonia-Mumford (2002-05), Craig Mott, Red Jacket (1996-99), and Jim O'Brien, Waterloo (1978-81).
The Bombers scored in the bottom of the first when senior pitcher Trey Pascazi was hit by a pitch. He took second on a wild pitch, then scampered home when Matt Burns' ground ball was bobbled, and the fielder held the ball and was unaware as Pascazi rounded third and headed for home.
The hosts added a pair of runs in the third with two out. Walks to Pascazi and Burns, plus a dropped third strike on Rich Hook loaded the bases. Nick Fathergill delivered a double to center to plate the two markers.
The Bombers (7-4) erupted for four runs in the sixth, combining three hits and one error. Sam Hauser had a two-run single in the rally.
The Lions (10-3) finally broke through for four runs in the top of the seventh against Pascazi, but notched his 12th strikeout with the tying run on deck to end the game.

Sony: EA Access plan doesn't offer value PlayStation users expect
updated 04:48 pm EDT, Wed July 30, 2014
Company cites PlayStation Plus memberships, EA program lacks 'good value'
Earlier this week, Electronic Arts (EA) announced the EA Access program, which would give gamers access to EA games via a subscription platform. The program is currently exclusive to the Xbox One, but it appears that Sony thinks that the service wouldn't be a good fit for PlayStation 4 owners. According to Sony, a monthly program that only offers EA titles isn't "good value."
In a statement to Game Informer, the manufacturer said that it didn't believe that EA's Access program offered enough to current PlayStation gamers. The representative told the publication that the EA Access program was reviewed, but it "does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect." Instead, the company suggested that PlayStation Plus is the sort of program PlayStation owners are looking for.
"PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200 percent since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price," said the representative.
Through the Access program, EA currently offers only four games. Gamers that subscribe to the $5 per month service gain access to Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25 and Peggle 2. The program pales in comparison to the offerings that Sony gives to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Through PlayStation Plus, a $50 per year service, a rotation of free games are offered up monthly, as well as discounts, online multiplayer and online storage.
A single PlayStation Plus membership covers the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and the Vita. Games from different publishers are offered in the program, with multiple titles being offered per console. The catch is that subscribers don't get to keep the games if the subscription lapses. For July, Strider, Vessel, Muramasa Rebirth, Doki-Doki Universe, Dead Space 3 and TowerFall Ascension are all free. On August 5, the lineup changes to Road Not Taken, Fez, Crysis 3, Proteus, Metrico and Dragon's Crown.
While that's a better value PlayStation owners are accustomed to, it's possible that there are other reasons why Sony doesn't believe that EA's service is tailored to their console owners. The PlayStation 4 has been snubbed by EA in the past, as the publisher has touted its partnership with Microsoft. In the partnership, the Xbox One gets exclusive content for sports games from the company. It's also possible that EA Access was offered to Sony, but the company didn't like the deal.

November 27, 2015
MADISON, Ala. (AP) - Police in Alabama say a 16-year-old girl missing for almost two weeks has been found in Miami Beach.
Liana Spellman was found with 23-year-old Darby Ridenour, who is wanted for statutory rape in Shelbyville, Tennessee. He also faces charges of interference with custody in Alabama.
Family members say the two met through a friend. They communicated over the phone and Internet despite objections by Spellman's family.
The pair had traveled from Tennessee to Atlanta, where they stayed a few days, before going to Florida. Authorities were able to find Spellman after tracing a credit card purchase of two bus tickets from Fort Myers to Miami.
Ridenour is being held in Miami Beach awaiting extradition to Tennessee. Spellman is being held in protective custody until she can be returned home.

Today we bring you another Friday Fives from the world of music, and one that we're particularly fired up about. We met Emily a few months ago, and while we've been fans of her band Metric for some time, we quickly discovered that we're also big fans of this girl's taste in NYC restaurants. Lucky for us (and you), Emily decided to take some time to give us her go-to spots around the city, and she went deep. We've yet to visit all but one of these places, but now they're all officially on the hit list. They should be on yours too.
If, somehow, you haven't yet discovered Metric's music and/or witnessed a live show, here's what you need to do: go get your hands on Fantasies, and see the band at one of the upcoming shows they'll be playing with Muse in October. After that and these Friday Fives picks – you'll be a believer too.
Emily's "Perfect For" Picks
Quality Fish
Soto (357 6th Ave.) – "I live in the west village, and forever I thought this place was an art gallery, so clever is their clean disguise. There's no sign out front, and you have to be inside the place to see what it is. Behind the facade is a no-bullshit sushi restaurant which, in my opinion, schools a lot of the other high-end places in town. There is usually no music playing, the staff are warm and helpful, and the chefs are seriously all business. I've been there about a dozen times and it is consistently excellent. Nice selection of limited run seasonal sake as well."
Eats with a View
BG (754 5th Ave.) – "My fascination with those buildings that line central park is undiminished. The little old ladies lunching is a world so alien to me, I love to catch the glimpse. Sit by the window in one of the yellow wingback chairs and marvel at how realtors still haven't managed to turn the Sheep's Meadow into condos."
Outdoor/Patio Situation
Il Buco (47 Bond St.) – "Il Buco is my local, and even though there are only two tables out front, it is by far my favorite place to dine outdoors. We go early evening, and there's something about the light at the end of the day there that evokes what's romantic about Manhattan. The black kale salad is next level simple perfection. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of Chuck Close. He's a regular."
Dining Solo
B&H Dairy (127 2nd Ave.) – "Still depressed that CBGB's is now a clothing store? Put on a beige trench coat and sit alone at the counter at B&H, the vegetarian establishment of sepia yesterdays that calls itself a dairy. Have a split pea soup, half a loaf of fresh made challah bread with three inches of butter, a black coffee and a piece of pie. You'll feel like Ben Katchor's Julius Knipl in no time, even if you're a girl."
Good Vibes
Elsa (NOW CLOSED) (217 E. 3rd St.) – "The last time I was at Elsa 'til 4, it was just our table and the bartender playing emotional classics like old Pixies jams from his personal collection and offering us cocktails in glasses 'rinsed' with absinth. The time before that there was a couple in the back that were only one pair of jeans away from screwing on the bench. The bartender yelled at them and everybody laughed. Guess you can file Elsa under 'drunk hook ups' as well."
Emily's Twitter People
@mehpatrol – NYC writer Caryn Ganz. She's whip smart and she cracks me up. Wrote a book on the Pixies, calls bullshit on bullshit. Solid individual.
@brantleyg – Photographer/director. Travels around with folks like Paul McCartney and U2 filming their behind-the-scenes lives. Works with Metric on lots of projects.
@robsheff – My favorite rock critic/music journalist. Second only to Lester Bangs.
@amnesty – Gotta keep an eye on the real world and the real people in it.
@greenliving – Ideas for greening modern life.

Il Buco is still one of the most special restaurants we've got in NYC, and we'd like to remind you of that.

Hi everyone,
I have done WW many times the first time I did it been 4 years ago on discovery plan when I lost 2st in around 6 months!!! I have since done porpoints and seem to struggle this time round in 5 weeks I have lost a lousy 5lb! which I know people say is healthy but its not for me when I know I can get better results. I have the old points kitchen scales, eat out guide and also the shop book and I have also found a app which does the old points calculations just a few questions I have if anyone can help?
·What is the rule of rolling points over and how many can you roll over?
·I have worked my points allowance to be 20 is this correct im 5ft 8 1/2inch, im 23, female, non active job, I weigh 11st 11lb??
·In terms of exercise points I wont ever use these but will be running around 9-12 mile per week how do you work them out?
·Do points sometimes jump up or down I know propoints sometimes two things at 1 point will add up to 3, think this is because on propoints there is no halfs is that correct??
Any other tips or info you may think I need to know I would GREATLY appreciate it.

When you give up 25 goals and lose as badly to one of your fiercest rivals as Nazareth College did last week, you have to expect that practice isn't going to be a whole lot of fun.
The Golden Flyers assumed correctly.
"Yeah, it wasn't the best week of practice, but we got a lot of work done," said goalie Scott Brown, recalling the days following Nazareth's 25-15 loss to RIT last Saturday. ...

Stocks remained in the red late Friday after the U.S. economy added far fewer jobs last month than expected, raising concerns about the world's biggest economy.
In the stock market today, the Nasdaq was down 1.1%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.9% and the Dow Jones industrial average slipped 0.7%. Volume was running 12% higher on the Nasdaq and 10% higher on the NYSE compared with the same time Thursday.
FleetCor Technologies (FLT) slumped 4% in heavy volume. The stock cleared a 73 buy point in a three-weeks-tight pattern on March 22, hitting a new intraday high on April 3 before pulling back. It's now just 2% above the entry.
FleetCor, which provides fuel cards to commercial vehicle fleets, has shown resilience after triggering a sell rule in early February when it broke above its upper channel line connecting a series of highs following its breakout.
FleetCor's Accumulation-Distribution Rating is still A-, indicating strong demand for the shares.
IXIA (XXIA), which provides test chips to semiconductor, network and telecommunications equipment makers, also sank 4% in strong turnover. It's fallen below its 10-week line, shattering its attempt to form an ascending base.
Meanwhile, asset management giant BlackRock (BLK) was down 3%, piercing its 50-day line.
On the upside, U.S. Silica Holdings (SLCA) reversed higher and climbed 4%, retaking its 50-day line in volume that was running well above average. The second-largest U.S. producer of silica, which is used in oil-shale fracking, went public in February last year.
In economic news, employers hired a net 88,000 workers in March, the lowest since June, according to Labor Department data. Wall Street had expected a much larger increase of 193,000 jobs.

Hi guys,
I know this is a common subject but I couldn't find any thread that addressed my specific problem. I have an Acer Iconia A100 install in my car and I'm having specific noise issues.
The only connections that the tablet has is audio and power. When the car is turned on and idling, a bit of noise can be heard if the volume of the car's speakers are turned to the max but when the car starts accelerating, the noise is much more evident. The noise is synchronized with the car's revs.
When the tablet doesn't receive any power from the car (power cable is disconnected) there is no noise whatsoever so the noise must be being introduced by the power adapter that I'm using.
Power adapter that I'm currently using: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042X8XOQ/...60_cs_sce_dp_1
Any help with this issue?

I have two of 'em. My old grey mare who will be 20 next month and a lovely bay gelding I bred from her. He will be 3 in Dec and I'm working up the mental courage to break him in.
What about you?

My wonderful horse will be 23 this January. He is an Anglo Arab with maybe some Saddlebred thrown in back a few generations. I would love to have a young horse to work with also but I board and the cost is pretty high for my budget.
Gosh, he looks in great nick for 23! Yeah, boarding costs can kerb the aquisition of horses. We finially have our own property after umpteen years of looking and scrimping. My poor mare was in foal and we didn't have anywhere. If we didn't find this property when we did, I was going to have to sell the foal.
Oh my gosh, he is gorgeous. Yup, I'd say he definately has some Saddler in him. His face isn't too dishy.
He's stunning really.
You lucky stiff.

The only four legged beast I have is my dog, (not to mention DH when he gets grumpy), but I would so love to have a horse! Marec, your baby looks so beautiful! I remember once when I was at a stable, a Tennessee Walker and the rider was in dressage. Such beauty in motion!
I live in the country and see many Belgians. In fact, there were about six boarded down the road, and I'd take the dog down there on walks. One day, Jim, one of the Belgians, lowered his head over the fence to introduce himself to the dog; I just caught this out of the corner of my eye. He was so determined to look my dog in the face, and she wasn't scared. He'd always come up to the fence and move his head up and down, as if it were a greeting. Such a sweetie! The horses aren't there anymore; the landowner sold his land to the gas company and they are tearing it up with wells and pipelines.

I have a beautiful black arabian mare named Lady Ashen! She is a vain lady who is very gentle and sweet.

One of the years I worked with NYPD Mounted, a kind, weathy young woman who didn't know anything about horses but favored the unit, made a wonderful donation of a few dozen fine horses. But she didn't do her research -- they were all chestnut Tennessee Walkers. She meant well, but those poor boys, pounding the pavement, used to break down all the time. It was a real problem.
Besides that, the standard was always smallish bays, and those tall reds really looked out of place.
Hi Lady Ashen! She is so pretty-look at those 4 white socks. I'll bet she is flashy under saddle.

Since Anglo American's acquisition of Amapa in 2008' production rose from 1.2 million tons to 4.8 million tons in 2011.
The deal is expected to be completed later this year. - I-Net Bridge
