London World Naked Bike Ride: Nude cyclists to ride city's streets in protest
11:56 08 June 2012
Hundreds of nude cyclists are set to descend on the capital tomorrow for the annual London World Naked Bike Ride.
While there will be a lot of flesh on display, the aim of the event is not titillation.
Instead, there is a serious message behind it – with the ride being a protest to raise awareness of issues such as cycle safety, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet.
It is about "putting a stop to the indecent exposure of people and the planet to cars and the pollution they create", say organisers.
Naked rides take place in more than 50 cities, with London being the largest event.
The ride started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had more than 1,000 participants each year since 2007.
Tomorrow's ride starts from Hyde Park at 3.30pm.

SHELBY, Ohio-- A mechanic found a baby's body in a box in the trunk of a car left for several days at a repair shop Tuesday.
Police now tell WKYC that a 17-year-old girl has admitted having the baby in January or February. No word on the official cause of death.
The teen told police she put the baby in the box and put it in the car. She had been driving around with it in the car ever since.
The body was discovered in a car at Broadway Auto and Exhaust, at 211 N. Gamble Street.
As the mechanic worked on the car Tuesday, he smelled an odor. He investigated the cause of the odor, got into the trunk and found a box.
He set the box aside while trying to see if an animal had gotten into the trunk. He then realized that the odor was coming from the box.
As he was taking the box to the curb to dispose of it, he opened it and saw that it was not, in fact, an animal, but a baby.
Police were called at 2 p.m. Police have identified the owner of the vehicle and established that the 17-year-olddrives the car regularly.
The Richland County Coroner's office is on the scene and the Bureau of Criminal Identification is enroute at 4 p.m.


text: After a beachfront start, riders climbed past lakes and into the secluded forests above Powell River, a former mining and coal town that has embraced mountain biking as it transitions to a tourism-based economy. Ascending on gradual logging roads, riders found themselves under a canopy of moss-covered hardwoods. And as the race spread out along the miles of singletrack, many competitors found themselves alone with time, perhaps, to contemplate the next day's course—a 40-mile beast with more than 6,500 feet of climbing.

Associated Press Release
MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) -- An arrest warrant shows a suburban Atlanta sheriff's deputy has been accused of sexually assaulting a female inmate.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports 51-year-old Alvin Blake Sutherland of Douglasville was arrested Friday night. He faces four felony charges, including aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, sexual assault by a member of law enforcement, and violation of oath of public office.
The warrant says Sutherland made physical contact with the inmate at the Cobb jail on Jan. 11. The inmate's name was not released.
Sutherland was being held Monday in the Douglas County jail. The arrest warrant says his bond was expected to be $100,000 when he's transferred to the Cobb jail.
It was not immediately clear whether Sutherland had a lawyer.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia's state government is considering investing in a reservoir that could send water downstream during dry spells into a lake at the center of a three-state dispute.
Gov. Nathan Deal's administration is weighing a request from Hall County to invest $14.6 million in the Glades Reservoir.
That money would only cover a small portion of the expenses for the $130 million project.
In return for partnering with Hall authorities, Georgia's government would get a supply of water that could be sent from the Glades Reservoir and into Lake Lanier, a federally run reservoir.
Deal's chief of staff, Chris Riley, said that extra water could then be used to supplement drought-parched waterways, ultimately making sure more water gets to Alabama and Florida. Florida has sued Georgia over its water use.

Maybe the biggest driver in the 27.5 world is Fox; when word got out that the suspension giant was planning fork options, it kicked other parts makers into high gear. The 34 Float is an existing fork, but the 160mm-travel 27.5 option is not just a shimmed 29 version; it gets a slightly different crown with altered offset for 27.5 geometry, and the lowers feature different tapers and dropouts. It also gets Fox's new CTD (Climb, Trail, Descend) technology, which moves ProPedal to the front of the bike in three simple settings.
While Fox might be pushing the market, X-Fusion is a growing company in the suspension world, and is well-positioned for any 27.5 boom with the new Slant series. The fork features 34mm stanchions, 160mm of travel, and Gold Slick Ano—a hardened coating that X-Fusion says reduces friction, keeps the fork better lubed and wears longer.

Lie detection
this wiki
Lie detection is Maggie's and Charles's ability to sense if someone is lying to them.
- "She is able to tell if a person is lying."
- ―Entry on Maggie's gift [src]
Maggie can sense if a person is lying to her or to someone else.
Maggie can sense a lie by being in close proximity to someone. A person didn't have to speak for her to know if he or she was behaving in a way contrary to their beliefs. If anyone misrepresented themselves in either appearance or action, Maggie could feel it automatically.
However this also has a side effect, as any kind of deception made her physically uncomfortable.
Maggie can only sense when someone is lying, meaning she may not know the reason or what the intentions for the lie really are.
When Maggie was human, she always knew when a person was lying with their words, which compelled her to always point out the lie. This made others feel uncomfortable around her as they could never lie in her presence, prompting her parents to leave her behind when they immigrated to America.
Breaking Dawn
- "... She had a gift for knowing when she was being lied to, and her verdicts were never contested."
- ―Bella's description of Maggie's talent.[src]
When Maggie and her coven is approached by the Cullens' cry for help, Maggie senses their honesty and agrees to be their witness against the Volturi. After Alistair - one of the witnesses - fled for fear of the Volturi, Maggie still decides to stay behind and help.
- "Charles can sense when someone is lying to him."
- ―Entry on Charles's gift[src]
Charles can sense whether a person is lying to him. It has not been explained how different from Maggie's this gift is, but it appears to be less pronounced than hers.
- "It is not what I see, but what I feel. Garrett said they have ways of knowing lies. I, too, know when I am hearing the truth, and when I am not."
- ―Charles's description of his power.[src]
When Charles is first approached by the Volturi's offer to witness their punishment on the Cullens, he senses no dishonesty from their behalf and so complies to their wishes. However, when he and his mate, Makenna, arrive in Forks, Charles senses the Cullens' honesty in their testimony, being falsely blamed for a crime they did not commit, and also newfound dishonesty from the Volturi. He gives his witness and then leaves with his mate.
Similar abilities
- Aro's ability of tactile telepathy allows him to read people's minds and determine if they were telling the truth as well as access to every thought they ever had.
- Edward Cullen's ability of telepathy allows him to read people's minds to secure if they were telling the truth about something.
- Marcus' ability power of relationship identification allows him to detect the type and intensity of relationship that people share between them.

Xenophilius Lovegood's necklace was an ornament that he wore to Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding. Some, like Viktor Krum suspected him of being a Dark Wizard, but actually the necklace simply bears the symbol of the Deathly Hallows to show that he believed in them and was used as a symbol to recognise other seekers.

The Winter Weather Advisory that was originally
extended until 7 p.m. Wednesday was canceled
around 4:45 p.m. as temperatures warmed above
freezing and the rain continued to fall.
WASHINGTON – While Winter Weather Advisories were canceled Wednesday afternoon, the region isn't free from weather related dangers going into Thursday morning.
The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has issued a strong plea for drivers to delay early morning travel Thursday, specifically before dawn. Near- freezing temperatures are in the forecast as well as fog, and crews need a chance to ice roads for safe travel.
"Stay off the roads early tomorrow morning, so that SHA crews have the opportunity to proactively treat roadways before morning rush hour," said SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters in a press release.
"When you step out and see ice on your doorstep, you can assume that roads will be icy as well. Also remember that conditions can change rapidly within just a few miles, and we ask motorists to remain on guard and exercise extreme caution tonight and tomorrow morning."
Virginia State Police also said they'd received nearly 2,000 service calls on Dec. 26 and responded to 686 crashes statewide.
Additionally, the National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for parts of upper Montgomery County including Seneca Creek in Dawsonville until Thursday morning.
Wednesday morning's snow is now rain and should remain that way through the night, says the National Weather Service.
Truckers were being advised to be especially careful when traveling west of the I- 95 corridor as temperatures were expected to fall below freezing. Here's a link to the best places to ride out a storm if conditions worsen.
On Thursday, the entire WTOP listening area is under a Wind Advisory from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. as gusts up to 50 mph are expected. The National Weather Service says the wind could down trees and impact power lines.
The complex storm system has covered the area with a mix of rain, sleet, snow and freezing rain. VDOT started treating and salting the roads with 400 service trucks at 3 a.m. Wednesday in preparation for the weather.
On Wednesday at 3 p.m., this was the latest snowfall information from ABC 7 meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli:
On Thursday, high winds are expected with temperatures reaching into the mid- 40s during the day. But, on the bright side, the sun should be out and will stay with the region through Friday.
WTOP's Kate Ryan caught some of Wednesday's weather in action on camera. Check it out below.

Fact Sheet: Treating Functional Dyspepsia545
By: Brian E. Lacy, PhD, MD; Michael P. Jones, MD
Dyspepsia is a common disorder that affects up to 30% of the general population. Symptoms of dyspepsia include upper abdominal pain or discomfort and frequently include symptoms of burning, pressure, or fullness often, but not necessarily, related to meals. Other common symptoms include early feeling of fullness (satiety), nausea, belching, and bloating. While dyspeptic symptoms may develop due to diseases such as peptic
ulcer or gastritis, the vast majority of patients with dyspeptic symptoms are ultimately diagnosed as having functional dyspepsia.Topics: bloating, diagnosis, Diet, Foods, Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, eating, food, gas, nausea

The trailing Democratic Party candidate for lieutenant governor says she won't seek a statewide recount in hopes the new tally would make up the more than 6,300 votes by which she trails.
Democrat Linda Coleman said Monday extending the campaign would not change the outcome. Coleman said she had called Republican Dan Forest and conceded.
Coleman had until Tuesday to demand a recount in writing because her margin with Forest is less than 10,000 votes out of almost 4.4 million cast.
But the count is neither final nor official. State elections board executive director Gary Bartlett said Monday a counting mistake in Bertie County was caught, likely taking away about 400 Coleman votes.
Bartlett says a statewide recount could cost up to $2.5 million, with counties picking up the tab.

Police are looking for four men suspected of a late night armed robbery spree in northwest Colorado Springs Friday night into early Saturday morning.
The four men are suspected of robbing three Diamond Shamrock stores and robbing some people at the intersection of Academy Boulevard and Radiant Drive.
The first robbery took place just after 11:30 Friday night at the Diamond Shamrock at 3290 Austin Bluffs Parkway. Police were able to obtain a photograph of one of the suspects in this robbery. The four made off with cash from the convenience store.
About a half hour later, the group held up the Diamond Shamrock at 5553 Austin Bluffs Parkway. Again, they made off with cash and headed to their next target.
At 12:14 a.m. Saturday, the four entered the Diamond Shamrock at 5790 North Carefree Circle. In this robbery police say several shots were fired, but no one was hurt.
Ten minutes later, a personal robbery was reported at the intersection of Academy Boulevard and Radiant Drive. No one was hurt in this robbery, but the suspects made off with the victims' personal property.
All four suspects wore dark colored hoodies, masks and gloves. One suspect is black, wearing black tennis shoes. The other three suspects were Hispanic, two of which were wearing white tennis shoes. All four were armed with semi-automatic handguns. A black vehicle was also seen at the first and third Diamond Shamrock robberies.
Police say if you see these men call Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP. Do not approach them; they are considered armed and dangerous.

A Crestwood man has admitted to mutilating a tiny kitten and now, he's headed to jail.
Tanner Hublar, 18, appeared in Oldham district court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to his involvement in the death of a kitten June 15.
His court appearance included a packed audience of animal lovers wearing ribbons marked "Chandler's Prayer" and carrying signs to express their anger against animal cruelty.
Chandler is the name of the kitten stolen from the barn of Lynn and Gordon Robinson with three other kittens in mid-June.

- Jeff , drinking Peet's since 1981 6/6/13
- Ventura, CA
I've been a subscription orderer of Kona through Peet's for years. Kona is really the reason I became a daily coffee drinker 30 years ago, and quite a while back, I concluded that Peet's was the best bean roasted best I could readily find.
Today, I cancelled my subscription. The last several pounds have been mediocre. Either they have chosen to buy inferior beans or they've forgotten how to roast them properly...or both. In any case, $50/lb. implies better than they now deliver, I'm very sad to say.
- Roberto Vello , drinking Peet's since 1990 7/6/12
- Chambly, Qc
I am a big fan of African coffees, and a lover of balanced central american beans. But I found the ideal expression for a good cup of coffee: Kona. Outstanding balance, mellowness, nutty taste and pleasant acidity. I am tough on Konas. I was satisfied with this one for my birthday. Thanks Peets. It`s on my next order.
- Jessica 2/15/12
I just ordered this coffee Tuesday, received it today (Thursday). What a wonderful cup! Smooth and the clean smell of the roast shines brilliantly through. Low acid and yet is a beautiful way to wake up!
- Elena , drinking Peet's since 1990 5/30/11
- Wellesley, MA
Hands down. This is the BEST coffee I have ever had--with the exception only of the memory of a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain. This coffee is so smooth, light, and flavorful, it stopped me in my tracks---then I made everyone I know--including my 13 year old son--taste it--all to rave reviews. I gave this coffee to a dear friend who proclaimed it also the best he had ever tasted--then when he ran out, went to Peets to pick up another pound bag, had a heart attack--but admitted it was worth every penny. Peets'' Kona will spoil you--and make all other beans a mere shadow mockery of the memory of perfection itself.
- Ralph Jervois , drinking Peet's since 2010 5/25/11
Sweet and smooth like an inning-ending double play. It will cost you the big bucks but if you want the best and can afford it Peet's Kona is a treat.
- Bruce Roberts , drinking Peet's since 1989 4/8/10
We just got back from a week in the Kona coffee region of the big island where we purchased and sampled various Kona blends and roasts. Peets Kona prices are reasonable and comparable with the premium blends one will find in Kialua-Kona. (Note that in Hawaii, what appears to be a half pound bag of Kona is actually 7 ounces, not 8!)

I really enjoy our Kona because it is one of our lightest coffees, which allows the flavors and characteristics of the coffee to stand out. Kona to me is well balance in its body and acidity, with smooth tobacco overtones and it makes a great cup after a heavy meal or the perfect cup to wake up slow on a Sunday morning.

One of my favorites! Smooth, with a velvety mouth feel! Full bodied essence of bitter sweet cocoa. Mellow acidity!

Kona-an exotic rich coffee flavor with a smooth finish that takes your soul to the islands with the first taste.

Whoever this takes will need a strong PC.
We are a small studio manufacturing miniature wargames terrain and scenery and are aiming to launch new product wargames terrain mats. They are going to be 4 x 6 (122 x 183 cm) tabletop covers with printed picture of map or landscape on them. The landscape should serve as a ground level for all the actual terrain pieces that will be used for a game. Currently I will need one map only. Possibility for more after the first print, possibility for none if decision is not to develop this product. The theme of a map should be swamp / jungle / forest / field you choose.
Mats are going to be used in 28-32mm miniature games, thus meaning, that an average human sized miniature is roughly 1 inch wide. Maps must use neutral graphical elements that would not normally obstruct movement or visibility. This means no buildings, cliffs, huge stones, etc. Acceptable elements are small stones, bushes, small puddles or springs, corpses, dry rivers, some ruins, tracks, wreckage and so on. In other words, terrain should be flat and should not suggest players that some drawn object might or might not be an in-game obstacle it should not be. Usual terrain pieces that are used for gaming table are trees, hills, buildings, boulders, etc., so try to avoid these in the drawing. Putting small house on a big house might look awkward. A good example how a mat looks like in action is: http://www.harmonyinhuatulco.com/adm...s/IMG_3105.jpg and http://www.harmonyinhuatulco.com/adm...s/IMG_3112.jpg . A good example of what I am looking for is: http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...5&d=1262432780 , http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...3&d=1238081877 (level of detail only, it looks too impassable in most places), http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...3&d=1276263532 (also needs to be more flatter).
I will require 122 x 183 cm TIFF, 300 DPI. In case my printing company changes, I might need PDF. Time is not an issue. I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain. Of course artists name and/or initials on the map and noted in product description. NDA if required by artist.
You provide a link to your portfolio and / or you make a small image / sketch / low detail map of what you are going to draw for free so we both know what to expect. We agree upon a price. If need arises, I can pay part of the sum in advance. PayPal transfer.
Email email@example.com . Replace cutdeep part with deepcut.

They could probably do it at 150 dpi, with a bit o' dithering ... that'd reduce the size. But still, agreed. Big files.
Well... If you went with a more painterly style, it would not be "quite" as hard to match up and you could use something like Posterazor to assemble. So, perhaps 2x2 3 long and 2 wide images. Even then, the images would be 7200x7200 px. Another alternative would be a hybrid application such as Xara which might be able to deal with the size since it's really only "set" at export time. The issue with that would be making sure your source textures were of the appropriate scale when you can't directly "see" them.

I just uploaded another map with 200mb in 20x10 MB packs.... this one? I guess 300 Mb at least....
From a resolution perspective I could do this no problem. I did some textured geomorph tiles at 300 dpi which you could look at putting together and then printing yourself. I did six types of style with about 12 patterns of tile per type.
(the tl;dr; => http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...7&d=1218063914 )
I don't think I am hosting the tiles any more cos they were about 1Gb of tiles but I still have them if you think they would be useful to use or you want to pick a style and I can make up some patterns with that texture style as the commission.
A TIFF of 20K square is no problem for me. Getting you the TIFF might be but I can upload some big stuff temporarily if required. I can ship you some DVDs to central Europe no problem.
Post here or PM me if you want to go down that route.
Your models look great. I do some CNC machining and we started making a blood bowl board:
but I didn't finish it. After machining a load of dimples on one side of the MDF board it warped badly in that direction. Probably need to use plywood.

Looks like I'm too young to send you PM, so I'll just post here. The tiles are nice, lower left and/or lower right might even make it to the print. My concern is that if these tiles would be used, half of them represent road / dry river, which will not be a biggest part of my map. That means rest of the map will be made of one main tile. Any thoughts how to make a map less repetitive? If you do have some, please email me and we can discuss the topic further.
As for BB board - best practice is to use two 3mm boards - same as movement trays or display stands. One layer serves as a base, second has holes for miniature bases. Just glue these two together and you have it.
Ok, no worries, I have emailed you. If you don't get something very shortly then post here again.
Summary, just for everyone's interest, I can do any shape and texture the image using the styles. So it does not have to use a set of repeating tiles. I can do one giant image and texture it so that its a set of roads, bushes and gravel in one seamless expanse covering the mat.
Oh and the BB board. Yes I agree 100%. Esp if I didn't glue the two together, then it could expand and contract without affecting the other panel. Just flock both and lay on top each other to play.

Twenty seven contestants have so far qualified for Vodacom Miss Tanzania 2011 final to be held later this year.
The co-ordinator of Miss Tanzania, Hashim Lundenga, said yesterday that the queens were picked from 10 zones.
Lundenga said three last finalists to join the group will be picked on Friday after Miss Ilala contest.
"Those who have qualified so far are really beautiful and all of them have qualities," Lundenga said, adding that they were more beautiful than the last year's.
"We are waiting to pick three from Miss Ilala. Ilala will also produce the beautiful ones," he added.
He named those who have qualified so far as Chiaru Masonobo, Zerulia Manoko, Maua Kimambo, Dalila Gharib, Christine Mwenegoha, Christine William, Atu Daniel and Leyla Juma.
Others are Zubeda Seif, Stacey Alfred, Rose Hurbet, Husna Twalib, Cynthia Kimasha, Mwajab Juma, Neema Mtitu and Weirungu David.
There are also Loveness Flavian, Asha Saleh, Mariaclara Mathayo, Trace Sospeter, Irene Karubaga, Glory Samuel, Stella Mbuge, Husna Maulid and Hamisa Hussein.
He said aspirants of this year looked so focused and one of them would likely follow the footsteps of former Miss Tanzania who are doing their modeling careers well like Happines Magesa, Tetemaria Malya, Flavian Matata, Miriam Odemba, Rehema Soud, Nelly Kamwelu and Amanda Sululu, to mention but a few.
"This time we want Vodacom Miss Tanzania to perform well the way Nancy Sumari did in 1995 when she won Miss World Africa.
Geneveive Mpangala is the reigning Vodacom Miss Tanzania.

What technology is required to use audio/video on NPR.org?
The NPR Media Player, which is used to play audio and video on NPR.org, requires the Adobe Flash Player version 8 or later. This player plug-in is available free from Adobe and is pre-installed in many web browsers.
The NPR Media Player is designed for and has been tested with the following platforms and browsers (as of November 2007):
- Safari (MacOS 10.3 -10.5)
- Mozilla Firefox 2.x or 3.x
Note that the NPR Media Player is not available for most audio content prior to May 2005. For information about older audio, please see the legacy audio section below.
How does the "My Playlist" functionality work?
How long do items remain in the playlist?
All items remain in the playlist for up to 7 days after the NPR Media Player was last opened. Opening the player resets this timeout limit. In other words, if you use the player at least once every 7 days, your playlist items should only disappear if you choose to delete them.
How do I delete items? Individual playlist items may be deleted from the playlist by clicking on the [x] at the top right corner of each item.
How do I reorder items? You may reorder items in the playlist by clicking on the vertical grabber area at the extreme left of each playlist item, and dragging the item to a desired location.
What are the specific ports and protocols that the NPR Media Player uses?
The NPR Media Player attempts to connect to our servers over a variety of port/protocol combinations, and uses the first one that works. It first attempts ports 1935, 80 and 443 over the RTMP protocol, and then it attempts ports 80, 1935 and 443 over the RTMPT protocol. Consult your firewall documentation to allow access to these ports and protocols.
At what rates do you stream your audio and video?
The majority of NPR content is streamed at 64 kbps. However, many music concerts, in-studio performances and song selections are streamed in stereo at 128 kbps while video is streamed at 700 kbps to ensure the highest quality playback for our users.
What audio format is the NPR 24-hour Program Stream available in?
The NPR Program Stream is available in four formats: the NPR Media Player, Real Media, Windows Media, and MP3 (for use with WinAmp, iTunes, and other MP3 streaming applications). Visit the Program Stream Schedule for more information.
What are the requirements for audio produced before mid-2005?
Much of our audio produced before mid-2005 is typically only available in Real Media or Windows Media formats. This is indicated by audio links that specifically list Real Media and/or Windows Media options like this:
If you are having difficulty launching this older audio, please consult our Real Media / Windows Media Help Page.
Video produced prior to November 2007 may be offered in only Real Media format. Again, for assistance, consult our Real Media / Windows Media Help Page.
Does NPR.org offer audio in MP3 format for download?
Currently, NPR is not able to offer all audio in a downloadable MP3 format due to rights considerations. However, a significant number of NPR offerings are available in MP3 format via our podcasts. In addition, the NPR Program Stream is available in "streaming MP3" format.
Why don't you support other file formats such as Quicktime or OGG Vorbis?
Currently, the infrastructure and delivery costs associated with maintaining multiple file formats require that we limit the number of file formats that we support.
I get the following error: "The Player requires version 8 or higher of the Adobe Flash Player", but I already have Flash installed. What should I do?
Please consult Adobe's help pages for troubleshooting Flash installations for Windows, Intel-based Macs or Linux or Solaris.
I select an audio link and nothing happens, or I hear a "click." What should I do?
When you select an audio link, NPR.org attempts to open a new browser window that contains the NPR Media Player. If you hear a "click" or "pop" or see a message at the top of your browser window when you attempt to launch audio/video, please set your pop-up blocker to allow NPR.org to launch windows.
A player window opens, but the audio doesn't start. What should I do?
You may need to change your firewall settings to permit the NPR Media Player to stream by allowing access to the proper ports and protocols. (Please consult your network administrator or service provider). This may be the case, even if you are able to use audio or video on other sites, because different sites may deliver their media using different streaming methods.
When I click "Add to Playlist" or "Listen", the item isn't added to my playlist. How can I fix this?
If you have installed the FlashBlock plugin for Firefox or other browsers, you may experience problems adding items to your playlist. To remedy this, you will need to add www.npr.org to the "whitelist" list of the FlashBlock plugin.
My player keeps "buffering". What should I do?
There are known issues with player performance on low speed connections, particularly dial-up.
If you are on a high speed connection, and your player has recently stopped working and displays a "buffering" message, please clear your cookies for NPR.org. There is a temporary problem with cookies that impacts the player we are currently working on. If clearing your NPR cookies does not resolve the issue, please fill out a Support Request.
Here are several other options we can recommend for listening to NPR audio:
- The NPR 24-hour Program Stream continues to be available in multiple formats including Windows Media, Real Media, and Streaming MP3 (for WinAmp, iTunes, and other MP3-capable players). These streams can be accessed on our program schedule page or via the schedule link near the top of the NPR.org home page.
- Another option is to access our text-only site, which is available at http://thin.npr.org. This site, originally designed for screen readers and mobile devices, provides streaming audio in a low-bandwidth Windows Media format. The text-only site offers access to recent programs and recent content by topic area.
- Many NPR member stations provide audio on their individual web sites. This audio is typically available in a variety of formats, including Windows Media and Real Media.
- Additionally, many NPR programs are available for download via the NPR Podcast Directory -- Podcasts are MP3 files that can be downloaded to your computer and played locally, avoiding the unreliability of network connections. Many podcasting applications, such as the popular iTunes software, can be configured to automatically subscribe to particular content and download it automatically so that it is available to you when you want to listen.

I'm having problems playing older (pre 2001) audio in RealPlayer. What should I do?
Version 11 of RealPlayer does not currently support certain types of Real Audio files found on NPR from the year 2000 and earlier. If you have recently upgraded your RealPlayer to version 11 and are experiencing difficulty listening to Real Audio from this time, you will need to uninstall RealPlayer 11 and install RealPlayer version 10.5, which can be found on Real's site. (Locate your operating system and look for the RealPlayer 10.5 link.) More recent Real Audio formats found on NPR.org should continue to work with RealPlayer version 11.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted - A Criterion Game - PS3 User Review
2 Reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
If you are looking for a game that is visually stunning, then you will be deeply impressed with Need for Speed Most Wanted. This is one of the best selling games out of the entire Need for Speed franchise. This might have you wondering, what separates this Need for Speed from the games of the past? Well, one of the things that makes it popular is the expansive world that you can explore.
What Makes Need For Speed Most Wanted So Good?
The major thing that sets this game apart is the little touches. For example, the little dust particles on the windshield that will sometimes accumulate, or the nitrous oxide taking off as you hit the nitrous button. Racing in this game is almost always going to be exciting, and the storyline of this game is absolutely amazing. You will be glued to the controller from start to finish.
Upgrading Your Vehicle
You can also upgrade your vehicle as you progress through the game. However, you need to have speed points. You do this by breaking the law and outrunning the cops. Speed points can also be earned by taking an active role in races and earning them that way. Upgrading your vehicle will not only make your vehicle look more visually impressive, it will help you to win races, and most importantly, outrun those pesky cops who for some reason, have a grudge against you and your attempts to the become the Most Wanted.
Excitement With Need For Speed Most Wanted PS3 Game
This game has all the elements of great fun. There are six level of heat in the game with the police. The higher the level the more things that you will have coming after you. For example, as you get higher in level SWAT cars, helicopters and roadblocks will be strategically placed out to try to slow you down. What is annoying is they will almost always try to take you by ambush as you reach higher heat levels. Nonetheless, you can have a lot of fun slamming cops into oncoming traffic and barely escaping yourself. That is an additional bonus to Need for Speed Most Wanted. You can play dirty when you take part in street races and slam other racers into walls and other objects. This is not a game that was meant to be taken too seriously.
The Negatives Of The Need For Speed Most Wanted PS3 Game?
The main negative is that single player mode is fairly easy to beat. You will almost breeze through the races. However, there is a lot that you can unlock and do to add even more hours of enjoyment from the game.
Overall, Need for Speed Most Wanted for the PS3 is a good game that will give you hours of entertainment, especially if you take your experience online. There are many challenges and unique online play that will keep you entertained for even longer. This game certainly helps to do justice for the Need for Speed franchise.

Need for Speed Most Wanted has the weird position of sharing its name with a title from earlier in this console generation, but being a spiritual successor to an entirely different title from that generation. The original Most Wanted was one of those titles that bridged the gap between the PS2 and the PS3 by being released in very slight variations on both systems. It was a fun and silly title that used live-action actors to depict its tale of street racers and the police.
The latest Need for Speed Most Wanted has absolutely nothing to do with that game, though. Developed by Criterion, the game pulls almost all of its core gameplay elements from Burnout Paradise, with a few major tweaks. Just like Burnout: Paradise, it takes place in an open world where both the traversal between races and the racing itself happens. Also just like Paradise, it has a massive amount of leaderboards to compete with friends on, this time supplemented by the autolog system that EA has become so fond of.
Most Wanted's multiplayer is also very similar to that of Paradise, in that it simply dumps people into the world and allows the host to choose events, which consist of crazy challenges instead of the usual point-to-point races. For example, one event requires to park yourself on the wing of a plane and stay there. The players compete in the event, then drive on to the next one. This mode really shines in how it encourages players to be complete dicks to one another. If you are taken down during a multiplayer event, you are automatically disqualified, encouraging constant violence between players and creating an extremely hectic and fun experience.
All this said, the game absolutely falls apart when it comes to the single player. Solo play shifts the game's focus to its wide array of cars. As you drive around in the world, you find new, extremely expensive cars just sitting on the side of the road for you to hop in. Each car has a set events that you have to win in order to unlock upgrades and get "speed points" which allow you to race AI drivers on the "Most Wanted" list.
While the system is not inherently flawed, it quickly grows repetitive. The races that initially seem to be car-specific are actually repeated ad nauseam. Not every vehicle has the exact same races, but they pop up enough times to make the task of earning points a grind. The addition of cops to the Burnout Paradise equation feels out of place at best, and the difficulty of escaping from them with very little reward make them utterly pointless at worse.
Whether you should get Need for Speed: Most Wanted depends on what you want out of it. If you are looking for a fantastic multiplayer arcade racer, by all means, pick it up. However, if you are looking for a good solo racer, you should probably look elsewhere.

Section 5(m)(1) amends 49:103(c)(1) to include a reference to section 20134(c) of the revised title.

Greensboro police say a woman shot and killed her son and injured her daughter and boyfriend before killing herself.
Police say statements from the survivors indicate that 47-year-old Sandra Lyn Palmer shot and killed 14-year-old Maurice Edmonds II and wounded her daughter and boyfriend before shooting and killing herself Monday.
Palmer's daughter, 18-year-old Danielle Jameison, and Palmer's boyfriend and Edmonds' father, 46-year-old Maurice Eugene Edmonds, were wounded. Police Chief Ken Miller said Edmonds and Jameison had improved to stable condition and their stories confirmed the forensics evidence.
Police say the family was involved in a dispute early Monday, though investigators did not say what sparked the dispute. Police say Palmer left the room and returned with a gun.
Autopsies were planned Tuesday but the results were not immediately available.

PureLife Dental's "Patients Planet Profits" Pledge Includes Carbonfree® Operations and Shipping
PureLife Dental is "watching its Ps" when it comes to its triumvirate of operating commitments. PureLife empowers dental practitioners to make a positive difference in the health of their patients, staff, and environmental impact, so that achieving better health can be a realistic part of every purchase decision they make.
The firm's "Patients, Planet, Profits" Pledge ensures that PureLife Dental's customers benefit from the company's goal to provide the highest quality and most environmentally healthy products at the best available prices. From complete waste solutions to everyday dental supplies, PureLife Dental believes that healthy patients, a healthy planet, and healthy profits can all be achieved, with no tradeoffs required.
Through Carbonfund.org, PureLife Dental offsets 100% of the company's annual operational emissions, as well as all of the shipping emissions for every product they sell, from the manufacturing line to the customer's door. Since 2008, PureLife Dental has neutralized over 16.5 million pounds of carbon emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world. Those carbon emissions reductions are comparable to the quantity of carbon dioxide sequestered by over 192,000 tree seedlings planted and grown over a ten-year period. As a result, PureLife Dental customers are reducing their own environmental impact with every order placed through PureLife.
"When we launched PureLife, the first thing we did was to see how we could reduce the impact of shipping products all over the country," said Cassie Walker, VP of Marketing and Sustainability. "This was important, because dentists could buy their supplies from anyone, but if they buy them from us there's a reduced eco impact, automatically."
"We chose Carbonfund.org for our offset program because they had credibility – their projects are third-party validated and additional – as well as the expertise to help us calculate our emissions until we developed that capability in-house," said Walker. "They've continued to help us refine our program and figure out approachable ways to talk about it with our customers."
In addition to their carbon neutral operations, PureLife's Feel Good Collection include products that have an environmental advantage over their traditional counterparts. Whether they contain recycled content or non-toxic chemistries, or they come in reduced or recycled content packaging, these products allow dental practitioners to make a difference without sacrificing anything.
PureLife Dental's commitment to "Patients, Planet, Profits" underscores its sustainability leadership in the dental supply industry, and Carbonfund.org is honored to partner with PureLife to help achieve these goals.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Four-Time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon has been fined $100,000 and docked 25 points for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer at Phoenix International Raceway.
Gordon was also placed on probation Monday through Dec. 31. But he avoided suspension for his actions in Sunday's race, which triggered a fight in the garage area between his crew and Bowyer's crew.
Team owner Rick Hendrick was also docked 25 car owner points, and crew chief Alan Gustafson was placed on probation through the end of the year.
Bowyer crew chief Brian Pattie was fined $25,000 and placed on probation through the end of the year.
Brad Keselowski was fined $25,000 and placed on probation for having an electronic device inside the car -- presumably the phone he used to tweet during a red flag period.
