Spotify, our favorite freemium music service you probably can't use, announced two new payment plans for its service in addition to the free, ad-supported and premium versions it has offered in Europe for over a year now.
The new plans bear some similarity to the rules by which U.S.-based music services play, and that could mean Spotify is finally getting ready to launch stateside. The signs they are on a verge of doing so are piling up, including the purchase of server space stateside.
Spotify Unlimited allows users to pay £5 or the equivalent per month for ad-free streaming to a single computer (MOG charges $5 for the same). Meanwhile a new free version called Spotify Open allows Europeans who had not been invited to sign up for free accounts in the past to join without being invited — however, they can only stream up to 20 hours of free music per month, with advertisements.
Those who already access an unlimited ad-supported Spotify for free will continue to do so, and Spotify still offers its Premium service for £10 per month, a tier which removes ads, improves sound quality to 320 Kbps, allows smartphone access and stores thousands of songs on the mobile device for times when streaming isn't possible.
In addition to the six European countries where it was already available, all of these services can now be accessed from… the Netherlands. What about U.S.?While Spotify is still not available here, these new pricing plans seem designed with a U.S. rollout in mind. It has long appeared unlikely that the company would be able to launch in the United States without altering its unlimited freemium model, given how record labels' on-demand rates stack up against ad rates for audio services. Pandora, Slacker and others manage to offer free, ad-supported music services here — but that's only because they play stations rather than whatever song you want at any given time, and so they pay much lower rates.
Looking at these new plans, a picture begins to emerge of what Spotify would look like if it launches in the U.S. by the end of the year (the most recent estimate listed on Not-ify, which tracks Spotify's always-impending US availability).
Spotify might be able to cover up to 20 hours of free listening by U.S. users per month, given its sizable war chest, in the hopes that enough customers are willing to pay to upgrade to mobile at the going rate of $10, which Rhapsody charges, or an unlimited account with ad-free listening for $5, which MOG charges, as mentioned above.
At that point, the major differentiators between Spotify and those services would be its excellent design and that 20 free hours of listening per month. Without a free version, Spotify is Rhapsody's good-looking Swedish cousin, as we've said before. With a free version, however, Spotify is a totally different animal. Rhapsody offers 14-day free trials and requires a credit card, while Spotify Open offers 20 hours of free listening per month, no credit card required. We know which we'd prefer.
Were they to be imported to this country, these plans would erect enough of a barrier to staunch the bleeding the service would incur with an unlimited ad-supported version, while still offering a superior option to Rhapsody's free version.
At that point, the $64 million question will be: Can Spotify convert enough users to the paid versions to subsidize that 20 hours per week? We can't wait to find out.

The 10 most despicable creeps on film
Scumbags, jerks and good old fashioned cold-hearted bastards – nobody stoops quite as low as this lot
Played by Matt Dillon in 'There's Something About Mary' (1998)
Why so creepy? Let's count the ways. Private detective Healy, antihero of the Farrelly Brothers' hit comedy, is a manipulative, lying scumbag who'll cheat, deceive and exploit anyone in his path (including innocent dogs, the elderly and the disabled) to get where he wants: namely, into Cameron Diaz's pants.
Most despicable act: Using Mary's mentally-challenged brother as a hapless shill.
Most despicable line: 'We agreed I wouldn't fuck you and you wouldn't fuck me until we got this fuck out of the fuckin' picture.'
Possibility of redemption: Not out of the question, but we'd never be sure it wasn't just another slimeball ruse.
Played by Eric Portman in 'A Canterbury Tale' (1944)
Why so creepy? In Michael Powell's deeply odd wartime hymn to English fortitude, a trio of plucky young go-getters stumble across the mystery of the 'glue man', a local oddball who sneaks out at night and hurls pots of 'sticky stuff' into girls' hair, so making them less attractive to American servicemen. The culprit is quickly revealed to be the enigmatic and charismatic village magistrate, Colpeper.
Most despicable act: Hurling his seminal adhesives at poor old Sheila Sim.
Most despicable line: 'That's the old ducking stool, very sensibly used for silencing talkative women.'
Possibility of redemption: Actually, one of the remarkable things about Powell's film is that, despite his nocturnal habits, Colpeper turns out to be some kind of hero, albeit a vaguely fascist, obsessively self-involved one.
Played by Sean William Scott in 'American Pie' (1999)
Why so creepy? This beloved bad-taste comedy is crammed with pie-fucking teen weirdos, but Stifler manages to stand head and shoulders above the rest in the distasteful-little-shit stakes. Partly it's his potty mouth, partly his repulsive attitude to the fairer sex, but largely it's just Seann William Scott's face: we love Scott, but he was born to play creeps and cretins.
Most despicable act: It's a close-run thing, but spiking a classmate with laxatives is a low blow.
Most despicable line: 'Why don't you guys locate your dicks, remove the shrink wrap and fucking use them?'
Possibility of redemption: Dubious. Stifler isn't a monster. But it's hard to see him transforming himself into a useful member of society. Huh-huh, we said member.
Played by John Getz in 'The Fly' (1986)
Why so creepy? In David Cronenberg's masterful horror remake, Stathis is the textbook ex-who-can't-let-go. To make matters worse, he's also his former girlfriend's boss. So when Veronica (Geena Davis) shacks up with another guy (Jeff Goldblum), Stathis swiftly resorts to manipulation and stalking. On a tangential note, he's also the proud owner of the most irksome little ginger beard in movie history.
Most despicable act: Tricking poor Jeff into thinking Geena is stepping out on him.
Most despicable line: Veronica: 'I'm finally on to something that's big. Huge!' Stathis: 'What? His cock?'
Possibility of redemption: Reasonably high. After his hand and foot are melted off with mutated stomach bile, we reckon Stathis is ripe for a spot of self-analysis.
Played by William Atherton in 'Ghostbusters' (1984)
Why so creepy? If our previous contender possessed the seediest ginger paedo-beard in movie history, Walter Peck comes a seriously close second. He's a furtive, squirming little jobsworth, using his position with the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent our Ghostbusting heroes from messing around with vast, potentially planet-destroying powers. Actually, that sort of makes sense…
Most despicable act: Shutting down the containment grid and dooming Manhattan to a Biblical apocalypse.
Most despicable line: 'If he does that again, you can shoot him.'
Possibility of redemption: We'd like to believe that, after getting half-drowned in hot marshmallows, Walter has a good long look at his life and goes off to be an artist or something. But he's probably still pushing pencils.
Played by Paul Meurisse in 'Les Diaboliques' (1955)
Why so creepy? Even if we skip over the classic French thriller's terrifying second half and just focus on the parts where Michel is actually 'alive', this self-satisfied schoolmaster is pretty unpleasant. He bullies his wife and their young charges, sleeps around, talks with his mouth full and generally acts like the world is there for his amusement.
Most despicable act: Well, that would be telling…
Most despicable line: 'Die, darling! Die and do it quickly!'
Possibility of redemption: Highly doubtful. Michel regrette rien.
Played by various puppeteers in'Return of the Jedi' (1984)
Why so creepy? Well, he's a giant talking slug, so that's not a great start. But we'd be happy to ignore this 'Star Wars' slimeball's gastropodal nature if Jabba wasn't such a lascivious, corrupt, self-satisfied git. Exactly what he's planning to do with those scantily clad slave girls once the lights go out doesn't bear thinking about.
Most despicable act: Feeding an exotic dancer to the Rancor monster.
Most despicable line: 'This bounty hunter is my kind of scum – fearless and inventive.'
Possibility of redemption: Unlike Jabba, very slim indeed.
Played by Lin Shaye in 'Kingpin' (1996)
Why so creepy? The Farrelly Brothers strike again, and it only gets worse. The only woman on our list truly is a gruesome piece of work: not only is she hunched and hideous, with hair like a year-old dishrag and skin like distressed leather, but she forces her hapless tenant (Woody Harrelson) to pay for his room in sexual favours.
Most despicable act: There's a moment involving two fingers and a tongue which has become a barf-bag classic.
Most despicable line: 'What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap? I guess it's all that pumping. You really jarred something loose, tiger.'
Possibility of redemption: We don't know. We don't care. We just want her to go away.
Played by William Hootkins in 'Hardware' (1990)
Why so creepy? This terrific low-budget British horror flick features a futuristic kill-bot with drills for hands. Yet that psychotic automaton is by no means the nastiest thing in the movie. That award goes to nosy neighbour Lincoln Weinberg Jr, a morbidly obese, porn-obsessed sleazeball with the dirtiest mouth in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Most despicable act: Making filthy videophone calls with his face covered by a pornographic picture with one strategically placed eyehole.
Most despicable line: 'How about if I fuck you with a string of popcorn up your ass?'
Possibility of redemption: Not after he gets shredded like a pulled-pork sandwich.
Played by Willem Dafoe in 'Wild at Heart' (1990)
Why so creepy? His lips. David Lynch's sprawling rock 'n' roll road movie is crammed with morally bankrupt oddballs, from psychotic hitmen to insectophiliac cousins. But somehow Bobby Peru is more disturbing than any of them. And what really makes him stand out – besides the sexual sadism and armed robbery – is that hideous, slimy, twitching mouth packed with scummy, rotten teeth.
Most despicable act: Threatening a pregnant Laura Dern.
Most despicable line: 'One-eyed Jack's yearnin' to go a-peepin' in a seafood store.' Possibility of redemption: Pretty much nil, and anyway he blows his own head off with a shotgun before the chance comes around.
Read our review of 'Filth'
There's in-yer-face cinema, and then there's in-yer-face, down-yer-throat and throw-it-back-up-all-over-the-pavement cinema. This punky adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel 'Filth' is a glossary of grimness, a dictionary of darkness. But it also dishes up humour that's blacker than a winter's night in the Highlands and unpolished anarchy that's true to Welsh's out-there, frighteningly frank prose. Best of all, it features a possessed, full-on turn from James McAvoy that threatens to turn upside down the worldview of anyone who knows him only as Mr Tumnus the faun in 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. For one thing, Tumnus never went wild on drugs in Hamburg with a straightlaced pal from a Masonic lodge. 'Filth' is a scabrous journey into the mind of a sociopath. It tells of Bruce (McAvoy), an Edinburgh police detective who'll stop at nothing to climb the greasy career pole. It's a pole lubricated with lashings of casual racism, sexism and homophobia, and the staff canteen would do better business selling booze, fags and cocaine. On the outside, Bruce is funny, raucous, one of the lads, helpful to a tee. On the inside, he's dying, a shell of a man – abandoned by his wife and young child. Loud and frenetic, the film swerves in and out of the real and imaginary world – and the valleys of Bruce's imagination are an uneasy place to forage for fun. Writer-director Jon S Baird ('Cass') borrows from the 'Trainspotting' rulebook: this world is larger than life; characters flirt with caricature

Well i am not trying too be mean but if you had spent money like the rest here you would want your bees and plus that if you did not get your bees then you want your hard earned money back it's only fair. I think i had talked with you before about getting some caucasians if you can get some for yourself you better while you still can and if you do let me know that way you can raise your own queens from them too sell and if you did let me know.
I do know how people here feel, as I am out a hefty sum of cash also. Please dont think that I am trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes, I have lost in this scam too. I just wish i would have researched everything closer when the sub producers group started, then i wouldnt be out as much money.
I can hardly believe I lucked out by being my usual (Day Late and a Dollar Short).
Sure loved the story of all that family bee business history.
Moonbeams aren't real huh?
Thought for sure I got someones Moonbeam cross with a Cordovan in a well paid cutout, late summer.
All the charactoristics, love'm, small cluster but still alive as of 54 degree day Monday.
Foragers still returning 40 minutes after sunset.
Guess I'll just stick with the locals.
Goodluck everyone.
Push, Pull, or get Out of the Way
He tried to get me to buy a sub-producer license for $3000, plus cost of cells and shipping. Is that what you are into or worse? A sucker is born every day and I helped keep up the average.! It just didn't ring true after I had scrambled to find queens for splits I needed to make that were never going to come. The aggravation was worse than the loss of money.
I hope the subproducers have some legal recourse. I feel sorry for those refunding sales on top of getting scammed and in some cases being victims of theft.
Vance and Urban- You were atleast wise enough not to get involved. I am not out $3000 bucks, but i am out quite a bit, but I wont air my financial information on a public forum. I believe that there could be some legal recourse, but I am still weighing my options at this point, as are many of the sub producers. I have spoke to many of them in the last 24 hours, and it seems most of us are out money, which would add up to a nice amount for anyone. I have politely asked Mr. Russell to refund all monies owed to everyone, but I am not holding my breathe, as he hasnt refunded many folks money.
I have taken down the Russell NY site, and I sent an email to all members of that site, explaining what was going on, politely, and assured them that I will be fulfilling orders or refunding money, at their descretion. It is sad though, many folks bought into what Robert said, I think that it was because his father was a respected bee breeder that many knew.
Vance, when you said that there is a sucker born every day, I must have taken up a whole months worth.
In a community such as you might find on any honey bee forum, we depend on each other. We share experiences and lessons every day. We depend on those close to the source of new or breaking information to share what they see and know and learn. Otherwise we do things 'the way they have always been done'. That information flow is a kind of group think, and it has flaws, as we have seen in various threads covering the multiplicity of issues in this saga.
There are three kinds of people: 1) People who lead, 2) People who follow and 3) People who stand around wondering what has happened. You acted as a reasonable man might act. The risk seemed acceptable for you to join in harness with a long established name in the bee breeding business. A walk across the street is a calculated risk, a deadly risk for a few, but a calculated risk none the less. You (and other breeders in harness with that name) seized an opportunity and the risks associated with it. Don't beat yourself up too much about this. We all need to find a way forward. You, the cheated customers, the commercial operators who relocated their hives to MS to be stolen, and the other producers caught in the trap, have my best wishes for the future.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Every post that I have ever made here, or on any other public forum has been, and always be, the truth. I am not looking for sympathy, justice, or respect, I am just looking to advise people as to what has happened, and what I am going to do about the situation that I find myself in. I produced and sold queens prior to associating with RA, and I will continue to produce and sell queens and nucs now. Many folks here raised the warning flags months ago, and I failed to heed such warnings, so my current predicament is that of my own making. Yes, I took a calculated risk when I associated myself with RA, and the risk failed to pay off. I didnt ship any hives to Russells in MS, or anywhere else, so I am not out hives, and I can make back, what I lost moneywise, with some hard work and selling a few pallets of hives. I am just saddened that many folks trusted me with their business and I allowed something like this to take place. I can only work on what I can change, and the past cant be changed, but the future can. I can only hope that the folks of the beekeeping world keep an eye open, and not allow something as terrible as this to ever get to this point again.
I have begun to issue refunds to all those that purchased queens from Russell Apiaries NY. All refunds will be completed within a few days. If you purchased using paypal, I will be refunding thru paypal. If you purchased using a check, I will be issuing via check. I can not produce these queens with Russell names in good faith, knowing that he scammed so many. To all here, please accept my apology for not figuring Robert out sooner. We all could have saved ourselves something.
Wow NY Blues, I'm really impressed and I'm sure you will more than make up any of your losses by taking this higher road. Allegany Mtn. Bee Farm has a much better ring to it than RA New York!! Way to step up!
I understand that the dust isn't even close to settling in this, but when you get a chance, and alll the ramifications are behind you, would you mind sharing if indeed there is a Robert Russell, and or a Rob Hughes so we can also understand who, what, where etc.... To the outside it would appear that it was just one individual who was involved in this who used a variety of names depending on the situation? Make that one individual with a sidekick or two managing the nectar flow program!
Good luck, and again you're to be commended!
I couldn't agree more with brandy. NY_blues is a stand up, honorable guy! This is the kind of behavior we should have been seeing from Russell when he couldn't deliver all those orders.
When you get your operation going again, let me know and i will buy some queens from you!
With all this drama, I want to write a book about the "Dr. FrankenRussellstein Madoff" monster. He made the image of a man that was successful, honorable, knowledgeable to the point lots of us believe his bull***** and invested in his ****
It is really worth a movie; even if the ticket has cost me hundreds of dollars.
I just recently saw a mug shot of an individual the Mississippi Correctional System has labeled "Robert Lee Russell" of Brandon, MS. The person that face belongs to is the one that shook my hand, and my wife's hand, and said he was "Rob Hughes."
If you had any doubts as to the accuracy of what the Sheriff told MTINAZ, you shouldn't anymore.
Oh my goodness...
So much for what my husband now calls "Rustler Apiaries"....
He was very convincing on here. I looked forward to reading his posts because I believed I was learning from a real expert with both educational trining and real life experience. His website is very professional. I can see how people could have been misled into investing with him.
Oh yeah--------------so, how are his bees?
I havent been following all the drama on this...but I could not resist a google search--Someone who knows is this the face to the name??

U.S. post offices … now with clickability!
(Click the image to go to the map – Java-capable browser required.)
I've never done any interactive mapping before, and wanted to test the waters using Processing. After the positive reactions to my post office expansion video, I thought some people might find an interactive version interesting or useful.
I used the code that produced the video as a foundation to build interactivity into the map. The most significant visual change was the move to a dark background with bright data points. While I'm not entirely happy with the "civilization illuminating a dark continent" effect that might be communicated by this choice, I wanted to provide some variation in how opening dates were represented, and on monitors I've always found bright colors easier to distinguish from one another than dark.
Interaction allows a more in-depth exploration of the data: this map includes the ability to set the range of dates displayed, zooming and panning, clickable points, and user-controlled playback for a given date range. I tried to make things relatively straightforward: use the buttons at the top or drag and scroll with the mouse to pan and zoom. Click on a highlighted point to show more information. High and low dates can be changed by dragging them along the timeline, while dragging the selected range will move it while maintaining the date gap. Use the buttons to the left of the timeline to play, stop, or change the speed of automated playback.
I don't have much to add in the way of analysis that wasn't mentioned in the thread of my previous post. I'd encourage you to explore different date ranges, though – you can see some interesting patterns of activity that were lost in the previous video by zooming and selecting specific dates.
I'm happy with the final result, I learned a lot during this process, and I'm excited to apply what I've learned to some other projects I have in mind. I wish the performance were a little better, and in the future I'd like to try my hand at some more browser-friendly interactive projects using Processing.js. I'd welcome any criticisms or suggestions on the design – particularly regarding the user interface and implementation of interactivity.
Comments (3)
Great work again Derek, loved the original and this is a great supplementary piece – particularly like the use of colour to indicate the 'age' of the data points, really brings out an extra layer of insight.
I'm really interested in the curved line of data points right in the centre of the image above – I'm not great on US geography but wondered if that reflected a long stretch of highway?
Curved line is probably the Platte River, major migratory route and location of the transcontinental railroad.
It says that access is forbidden to the map, is there something wrong? I think it's an awesome example of mapping using Processing.js, would love to share it with others!

I've always wanted to do an arch vis work. The stuff has always really interested me, however I really have no idea where to start, so I figured the best way to start is to mimic as close as I can a photograph of a scene that I really like. So begins my journey. It's nothing yet, and progress is slow, but I'm excited.
Stage 1. Matching camera attribs. For this I had no camera data at all. And what makes it worse is it is a sinlge point perspective. It took many hours to get it to fit, but I think I finally have a good fit.
Objects are a little off proportionally, and lighting is obviously very off, but it's a good start and I think I've matched the camera well enough for now at least.

Dillon could star against Eagles
Tom Brady may be end up being MVP of the Super Bowl, but Corey Dillon will open the game up for him.
I do believe that Faulk will make at least one or two big plays in this game. He's extremely explosive and does a great job catching the football. He's going to be an excellent change-of-pace back for the Patriots and should break a couple of plays on Sunday.
The Pats' receivers are underrated and provide consistent targets for Tom Brady. While they may not get the headlines or big numbers that other receivers in the league receive, they still are excellent. They do all the little things you'd expect from a receiver, including downfield blocking to spring receivers and concise route running so that Brady can throw the ball where they are supposed to be with confidence. Heck, WR Troy Brown even fills in very well as a nickel cornerback when the team needs him.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about kicker Adam Vinatieri's contribution to this game. Sooner or late he's going to make a big kick and actually be named Super Bowl MVP. He's been extremely clutch for the Pats in big games and small and in good weather and terrible weather over the years. I have a feeling that string will continue on Sunday.
As great a contribution as those players will make on Super Bowl Sunday, here's my list of players who I believe are going make an even greater one.

At this time, the WD TV product line does not support the use of single USB drives larger than 2 TB. Doing so may cause corruption to the data, or damage to the partition. Our dual and network drives larger than 2 TB's can continue to be used with the WD TV products. WD is currently working on a remedy to this situation, and will notify our customers when it becomes available.
This issue has been resolved for the WD TV Live, Live Plus, and the Live Hub in the latest firmware updates.
For further information, please refer to Knowledge Base Answer ID 5875 .
Ok, fine and thank you, BUT when will this be possible ?I have 3 x WD 3 TB waiting for you to fix this.WD was eager enough to marked the disks.
Please give us some update as I see plenty of people writing about in the Forums, so I must not be the only one.
We're still working on this. It's a complex issue, so I'm not sure when exactly it'll be fixed.
I am another Wd costumer with 2 3tb drives waiting for this problem to be fixed. How munch more do we have to
wait so we can use our drivers??????????
I am SO angry I just got a 3tb WD hard drive and spent 2 days transfering data FOR NOTHING, it never crossed my mind I had to go online and look arround in forums to find out it was all worthless. It is amazing you can not use a wd hard drive with your own products what is the point of buying your stuff? or did you guys think the 3 tb era would never come? And what is taking you guys so long to get a solution for this? Are you a garage company? how many people/genius are working on this? man you guys should not been sleeping at all until you solve this. I give you my word if you not solve this soon I will never buy anything from you and will tell everyone I know about the "great company" and "amazing" "customer care" you have.
thanks for making my day.
We do understand the frustration of not being able to know this going in. And like Guy said, we are currently working on it. However, just in case you didn't know, you can connect the drive to a computer and the WD TV Lives can access it over the network. The other thing I would caution, is that if you connected it directly to the WD TV, you may have damaged the partition. So, if nothing plays, or the drive becomes inaccessible, that's because the partition or data was corrupted or damaged. If that happens, you will need to repartition and reformat the drive. Then, copy all the data back to it. Keep in mind that repartitioning and reformatting will destroy what data you have on the drive.
Can you tell us an estimated date of when this problem would solved....
Thank You for an answer...
I do not what happens , but I never have an answer.......|||||
Please....don't you have an stimated date for new firmware fixing this issue?
Thnaks in advance!
Currently there is no estimated date for this to be fixed. However, it is still a high priority issue.
weeks? months?...........
We need some reference to buy/sell new 3tb disks....
Thanks in advance!
Don't buy any until it is fixed ... they will only get cheaper
The new firmware is out for download, but the problem with drive greater of 2tb is not solved.
I have my 3tb driver since December, what should I do with this driver???
Until when should we wait for this problem to be fixed.....
We have firmware in testing that's supposed to have a fix for this.
But it has not come out yet???
Thanks for your reply´s
And hope to see firmware out soon....
Me too as I want to get larger drives and this is the only thing stopping me.
Thanks for the information Bill
Will you be posting here when the firmware is released? It would be great to have a source of updated information.

Nick Athan: Everyone has touted Philip Rivers as the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Though the Chargers are on a modest losing streak, he's seems to be rejuvenated in San Diego. What's been the biggest difference in his resurrection as an elite NFL quarterback?
Michael Lombardo: There are a few factors in Rivers' increased productivity. The new coaching staff deserves the lion's share of the credit. Head coach Mike McCoy, offensive coordinator/playcaller Ken Whisenhunt and QBs coach Frank Reich have designed an offense that allows Rivers to get to the line early, read the defense and then get the ball out of his hands quickly. The result is a high-efficiency short passing game that has Rivers leading the NFL with a completion percentage of 70.9.
Another factor is improved play by the offensive line, although injuries have halted that progress recently. First-round pick D.J. Fluker has been dominant from the get-go and second-year guard Johnnie Troutman (who missed his rookie season with a pectoral injury) has also been a find. Also, former RT Jeromey Clary has been rejuvenated by his move inside to guard and his silenced most of his critics.
NA: When Mike McCoy became San Diego's head coach, some around the league felt he wasn't quite ready to run his own team. Granted, the Chargers have a losing season to date, but how has he progressed in your eyes from hot-shot offensive coordinator to head coach?
ML: I prefer to analyze McCoy's performance in two categories: teacher and game-manager. As a teacher, he has exceeded every expectation. His team is competitive every week while deploying one of the league's youngest rosters. Several young players have made huge strides -- Troutman, Ladarius Green, Andrew Gachkar, Thomas Keiser, etc. -- and the team has established a tangible identity.
As a game-manager, he has been a massive disappointment. Conservative late-game play-calling cost the team a Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. More "soft" play-calling cost San Diego another win three weeks ago in Washington. And there have been other examples where McCoy played things too safe, which is a huge no-no when you a coaching an underdog.
RB Ryan Mathews
Donald Miralle/Getty
ML: It is hard to simplify his struggles into one issue, but if I had to, I would say that issue is consistency. There are certainly holes in Mathews game -- he struggles as a pass protector, he puts the ball on the ground too much and he lacks big-play ability. He also has a history of being derailed by nagging injuries, which have prevented him from hitting his full stride.
Another issue is a lack of commitment from the coaching staff, which is especially true now that the new regime has no ties to him. For example, after posting consecutive 100-yard games in Weeks 6 and 7, he got only seven attempts the following game. Additionally, the Chargers rely on change-of-pace back Danny Woodhead a lot -- not just in the passing game -- so Mathews does not have a chance to be a true workhorse back.
NA: When the Kansas City Chiefs made the decision to draft Eric Fisher with the first overall pick they had hoped he'd bolster their offensive line in short order. While he's progressing and getting better, the Chargers used their first-round pick on Alabama RT DJ Fluker. To date, their rookie seasons appear headed to the same conclusion. But I argue as of this writing, Fluker's start has been better than Fisher's. What's been his secret to his success thus far in a Chargers uniform?
ML: Fluker has many outstanding physical attributes: size (6 foot 5, 339 lbs.), power and underrated movement skills. But what has keyed his success is old-fashioned hustle. He finishes blocks with authority and gets out to the second and third levels, destroying players in space and sparking a lot of big plays. His enthusiasm in the huddle is contagious and he has lifted the play of the entire line.
The biggest surprise has been Fluker's ability to hold up at left tackle, where he has been pressed into action due to injuries to King Dunlap (head) and Mike Harris (ankle/injured-reserve). Fluker has shown impressive agility and technique while protecting Rivers' blindside. While Fluker is still better suited for the right side, his versatility certainly increases his value.
NA: With four of San Diego's last five games at home and the final AFC wildcard team likely going to an 8-8 or 7-9 team, do the Chargers have a legitimate shot at a postseason berth?
ML: In a word, no. The Chargers had a legitimate shot coming out of their bye at 4-3, but three straight losses have submarined those efforts. I believe the Chargers would have to go 5-1, at worst, to sneak into the tournament. And with two games remaining against the Chiefs, one road contest against the Broncos and a tough one versus the Bengals, it is tough to envision that happening.
It also does not help that the Chargers have lost to the Titans and Dolphins, two teams who are also in the mix for that final playoff position.
Michael Lombardo is a long-time contributor to the Scout.com network. His analysis has been published by the NFL Network, Fox Sports and MySpace Sports. He has followed the Chargers for more than 16 years and covered the team since 2003. You can see more of his updates by following him on twitter.

They baited us into the Iraq war for nonexistent reasons, and now want us to show "the same resolve for it as for WW II", as Bush will say in his speech in Coranado, CA. In WW II we had real reason to defend our country, or we would have been speaking German or Japanese if we didn't take action, unlike the Iraq war which is at best a "venture" and on par with a goat rope.
How deceptive, underhanded, and misleading for our alleged leaders to compare the two wars, which are like night and day in their basis, or lack thereof. Apparently they think we will all believe such baloney.
Its sad that, no doubt, there will be those not yet informed who will still be taken in by that deception, and sadder yet that our leaders unashamedly take advantage of that lack of awareness.

Perry Farrell and Jessica Miller defended their Bridge to Bridge titles in quick time on Saturday with the freshening tide pushing them along.
Farrell won the men's race, that doubles as the Murray Dingle Memorial Swim, in 10m 22s with Miller home well ahead of the women's field in 10m 48s in the 1500m swim from the Harbour Bridge to the slipway just past the Matakana Rail Bridge.
Both swimmers love the event and were happy to win in a useful warm up to the much more arduous Round the Mount swim held yesterday.
Farrell was pleased to beat off the talented Kane Sefton and Mason Bryant into second and third, after tough surf lifesaving training before his swim.
"It is a real fun swim with the tide as well. It is a bit different and it is cool swimming somewhere different other than Pilot Bay," Farrell said.
Farrell and Miller both clinched the five-race Team Shorebreak Inc Ocean Series on Thursday, which is a notable achievement in the teenagers' swimming careers so far.
"It is such a good series and so much fun doing that. Sheryl [McLay] is awesome in running it so I am pretty rapt to win that."
Miller says Saturday's Bridge to Bridge was definitely a lot faster than last year as the tide was a lot stronger.
"You always drive over the Harbour Bridge and you look out and you kind of just see boats so it is pretty cool to swim from the bridge to bridge."

Web Exclusive: Sobriety, A Road of Miracles
A sober man recalls how AA got him through all of life's ups and downs
The miracles keep coming.
I gave away a good life to alcohol including my wife, kids and a great part of my possessions. Then after almost 40 years of drinking, I turned to AA for help.
From the time of my first AA meeting, which my wife dragged me to, until the time of my sobriety date, I fought AA for about three years, still believing I could do it on my own.
Then on a Saturday morning, still drinking, I was going to one of the meetings that I went to and one of my regular weekly customer showed up at the meeting. He was there to ask members for help at a local jail from which he was recently...

Multimedia camp / Multimedijalni kamp (MMKamp)
MMKamp is an international "artist residency" project based on collaboration between non-profit organizations, artists, tactical media activists and ones who don't know yet what they are and don't care much. MMKamp concept is an art and new media laboratory, platform for researching, new media experimenting and developing new artistic and communication forms, through self-initiated collaboration among international artists and new media workers.
Everything in Multimedia camp (Multimedijalni kamp – MMKamp) is about freedom. Its about research how to become free through hacking, manipulating, communicating, living, networking, creating, developing… Sometimes its nice to research alone, sometimes you share your ideas, feelings and results with other. In a way, it is a lookout for anarchy, a pirate-ism in the best meaning of a term. Its about making friends, being brave and bald, funny and wacky.
Of course creativity is absolute. Creativity not because of the consumer society needs, not because of the need for an interesting gadget or a new technology commercial toy, but creativity as a weapon used to change ongoing process: moronization of the human race.
Is it idealistic? Depends on the view. We cannot and don't have time to think in those terms. We are here to use what is given to have fun, go deep in science and art, work with people, construct, de-construct, de-territorialize, mystify and de-mystify, organize masses for no reason, run away and fight everyone, be in disagreement and realize our dreams, thus lessening our frustration. We are here to put questions in people heads, to break solid ground under our feet, to rethink, to oppose.
Sustainability of such a project happens because of enthusiasm and somewhere inside individual, not in making project viable for a company that will harness free work of the free intellect. Sustainability comes from networking, producing small TAZ where we meet and work, hacking applications that have hierarchical and deterministic (up to down) approach to where public funds should be spent. Money does not direct the way you want to think or express in MMKamp. There is a deep understanding what does it mean to live in present time at MMKamp.
MMKamp was always about improvisation. People meet, bring their ideas, not only final product but sometimes half way done. People from different fields meet: musicians, artists of different sorts, free media activists, hackers, people who cannot (or don't want to) define their group or interest, and others who happen to be there by pure chance. MMKamp is also about collaborating, inventing new projects. Small or big, no matter.
One of the best outcomes of MMKamp is Free Travelling Radio (Slobodni putujući radio – FTR): a portable FM radio set that visited 9 cities and was at 5 festivals. More than 50 people were broadcasting live in ether and more than 15 have been interviewed for the radio broadcasts and podcast. FTR connected people from Poland, Brasil and Croatia. It is a project of open microphone and open radio, something that has been long forgoten in todays world of media consumption, but also has completely new meaning in the era of digitalization. It is not purely artistic media, but a freedom of expression, tool for constructing a society aware of their possibilities.

Date of Stay: September, 2013
Very pretty state park that surrounds a small, man-made recreational fishing and non-powered boating lake. Access from I-64 is via 2-lane US highways which are in good shape and wide enough to prevent white-knuckle syndrome. The park office carries a few emergency camping supplies, and there is a small general store/gas station (with diesel) on the park entrance road. The park office sells firewood during office hours. Staff is friendly and helpful, and there is an active ranger-led activities program during the summer and fall. Canoe, john boat and paddle boat rentals were available on the Fall weekend we stayed there. Bathhouses were clean and functional during the entire weekend stay despite a full campground. The office advertised free Wi-Fi in the campground. I can confirm Loop B had a strong, functional connection on my iPhone and iPad. I didn't turn on my TV, so I can't comment on the over-the-air TV signal. As with most VA state parks, arriving early for a weekend reservation is recommended since sites are not assigned. The park was pretty busy from about 3 pm until 8 pm on Friday, and the larger RV spots fill quickly. Part of Campground A and most of B and C are next to the entrance road, so you do get some auto traffic noise during daylight hours. But, it does motivate you to get out and enjoy the lake and hiking trails. Tent, pop-up and small trailer users have a good choice of pretty sites by the lake and up on the hill under the trees in Campground A. Larger RVs are generally confined to Loop B and part of Loop C. There are 9 RV35 sites reservable by phone for larger RVs, though anything bigger than 30'ish feet can be a bit challenging to maneuver around the B Loop. I camped in a 27 foot trailer and fortunately had no trouble making the initial left turn into Loop B (there is a tree right next to the road on the left side). There are a few pull-throughs in the center of Loop B and along the road headed to Loop C. All the electric sites had at least 30 amp service. Most of the RV sites I looked at seemed reasonably level. Site 6 was a bit challenging with front/back slope, but a 30 ft trailer was able to get leveled with some effort. All the Loop B sites were hard packed crushed gravel with a fire ring/cooking grate picnic table. A couple had an adjacent gravel tent pad. Unfortunately, the dump station is a bit awkwardly located between the contact station and the parking area for the office along the entrance road. Long RVs might have a bit of trouble getting positioned if there are cars parked in the office lot. Overall, I highly recommend this park for tenters and small RV'ers. We camped here in a 27 foot travel trailer. If you are traveling in a big rig, head north of I-64 almost the same distance to Lake Anna State Park instead – another beautiful VA park with plenty of large sites.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
Great state park very near the Auburn University campus. Easy and quick approach from I-85 down a straight and gently rolling two-lane road. Park roads and campground loops are paved and RV sites are crushed rock. Spots are relatively level, wide, and should be deep enough for almost any rig. A few spots are perpendicular to the road and backing in a big rig might be challenging. The sewer connection on most of the sites was in the back, so you might need extra hose if you have a midship dump valve. Most sites are very well shaded and have plenty of room between to afford some privacy. The McVay Loop bathhouse was always clean, and the staff and host were friendly and accommodating. Firewood and ice are available at the park office. There is no camp store but a Walmart, Winn Dixie and many restaurants are within 3 miles of the park on the north side of I-85. The park has a great system of hiking trails though they could be marked better. I attended Auburn and spent a lot of time here during college. The park gets very busy with day use students and can be quite noisy on fall and spring weekends, so be ready for it. If you want to stay here on a home football weekend you have to get reservations many months in advance. The website lists reservation call dates for home weekends. The only negative comment I have about the park is the noise level from traffic outside the park. You can hear it quite well from both camping loops up until about 9 pm. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable visit and we will return in the future.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
Goods: Great state park with a ton of things to do...hiking, swimming, paddle boats, mini-golf, a sky-lift up the mountain to the Natural Bridge, a lodge with a restaurant (DO NOT drive your rig up the hill...no room to turn around), great picnic areas, friendly and helpful staff everywhere, clean campground restrooms, campground Wi-Fi for a small fee, firewood/ice at the check-in station, and a couple of country stores within 2 miles. The view from the Natural Bridge is impressive, especially in the Fall with leaves changing. The trails are well-maintained and absolutely beautiful. Others: First, the campground spots are really close together. While I saw a couple of big 5th wheels and motorhomes in the park, it took a lot of patience to get them into and out of the pull-through sites. The middle pull throughs are level but the outside ring make take a few blocks to get you level. Depending on your site, you may have to connect to water/power on patio side of your site, so bring an an extra hose and power cord. Second, the campground is located right off KY-11 with occasional semi and motorcycle traffic at all hours of the day/night. Combine that with the close sites and you have a noisy camping experience. Also, the campground is well lit with street lamps, so bring a dark tarp to block out the light if you are tent camping in the main loop. Last, the dump station is located on the campground access road on the left side of the road (as you are exiting) at the bottom of a hill. It makes dumping a bit scary if someone coming down the hill into the campground isn't paying attention. Recommendation: Definitely visit NB State Park! Loved our four days there despite the campground shortcomings. If you have a smaller rig and don't need 50 amp power consider B28-B35 as they are a little deeper into trees and on the other side of the stream from the main loop.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
Great campground for a getaway from the busier VA state parks. The trip out to the northern neck is worth the effort. There are some 2-lane roads coming from I-95, but no low overpasses or narrow bridges to worry about. The campground was spotless and well maintained as are most VA state parks. It consists of 30 sites plus a group cabin. Most sites were pretty level with packed gravel driveways and loose gravel tent pads. The park has seven large pull-thru sites, though most of the sites appeared capable of handling even the largest equipment. Bathhouse was clean and well-stocked, and the individual shower rooms, laundry and dish washing sink were very nice. It was obvious that the friendly volunteer hosts worked very hard to keep the place nice and inviting. The camp store has standard oops-I-forgot-that items and also rents various kinds equipment. Firewood is available and stocked in the campground with an honor system. This is a nice, quiet park for a few days' stay and we will definitely return.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Great RV campground that was just recently completed in the park. Located away from the river and the original tent campground, it has the typical loop layout and construction of other upgraded VA state park campgrounds - hard packed gravel pads that will support up to 60 ft. rigs, large gravel tent/table area, 50/30 amp service, and a fire ring with cooking grate. Bathhouse was spotless. Pads were relatively level, though I did see a few motorhomes with level blocks in use. Cell service with Verizon was nearly non-existent once you got past the park entrance and down into the valley. I was a little disappointed that they chose to clear cut the campground site before construction. Only a few sites around the outside of the loops offer any remaining shade trees. The access road off the main park road is pretty steep downhill, so be prepared. There are several ranger-led nature presentations nearly every weekend. There are several trails to walk around and a few canoe/tube outfitters in the area to get you going on a nice trip down the river. Overall, it is a nice facility. We would return.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Good park for a spring shakedown trip. Limited full-hookup sites and they are significantly more expensive than elec-only sites. Full sites are grouped together a little too closely, but other elec-only sites are well spaced and provide good privacy. Sites were not very level so bring plenty of blocks. Facilities were well maintained. Full service regional park with kayak/canoe/paddleboat rental, swimming pool, frisbee golf, horse trails, etc. Great location close to DC. Would recommend for a future visit.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This was a good park for an overnight stopover along I-81. Easy access to I-81 via a 4-lane highway. Both daily and monthly sites are available. Sites are reasonably level but very closely spaced. If you are group camping, this might be a good thing! The camp store was well-stocked with RV parts/supplies and common food items. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The park maintains a common area with a pool table and video machines, and offers transportation to big, local cultural events. The park even programs its own social events from time to time. The best amenity was the Super Walmart and a couple of chain restaurants within a mile. Overall, a great spot to stay during a short visit to the local area or for an overnight stop along your way.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This was a great park! All the water/electric spots are large enough to accommodate the largest rigs. Spots are large, well-spaced, level and hard-packed. Each has a picnic table, fire ring with grill grate, and a loose gravel tent area. All sites, with the exception of several pull-throughs, back up to woods and provide enough space between sites to not feel crowded at all. The two bathhouses were very clean and were equipped with private showers and laundry facilities. The dump station had two sewer outlets, water connections and trash dumpsters. Park access was excellent with state/county roads large enough for big rigs. Hiking trails are well-maintained and marked, and many are multi-use pedestrian/horse trails. The park lake access has a beach for swimming in the summer. Firewood is available for purchase at the park office. There are several convenience stores outside the park within five miles, but no camp stores for RV/camping-specific supplies. Overall, camping facilities at Lake Anna were the best I have experienced in Virginia. I highly recommend visiting in October when the leaves are changing colors and the crowds are small.

Once a cancer gains the ability to invade local tissues and spread to a distant site it becomes much harder to treat. A team of researchers, led by Min Chang and Christopher Williams, at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, has now identified the protein BVES as a suppressor of colorectal cancer progression to this dangerous state, leading them to suggest that BVES could be a therapeutic or preventative target in colorectal cancer.
Cancers originating from cells covering any of the external and internal surfaces of the body (epithelial cells) are known as epithelial cancers. If such cancers (e.g., colorectal cancer) are to become invasive and spread to distant sites in the body, some of the epithelial cancer cells must acquire the characteristics of a different cell type, a mesenchymal cell. Protein complexes that link epithelial cells together (junctional complexes) are regulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Chang, Williams, and colleagues found that the junctional protein BVES regulates EMT in human colon cancer cells. Importantly, the team found that BVES expression was reduced in all stages of human colorectal carcinoma and that restoring BVES expression to normal decreased the in vitro and in vivo cancer cell characteristics of human colon cancer cells. These data provide the rational for the suggestion that targeting BVES could be of benefit to individuals with colorectal cancer.
The research is published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Of his 15 victories, it is a remarkable statistic that 20 per cent of those have been at Melbourne's Albert Park, scene of the curtain-raiser to this year's latest Formula One campaign.
Button said: "It is such a special race for all of us. At the end of a year, every year, everyone's a bit tired in Brazil. You see people walking around the paddock, and unless you've won the grand prix or got a chance of winning it, there aren't many smiling. It's like 'Ah, it's been such a long season', but at the first race it's so, so different because it's all new, it's all fresh, it's all exciting."
It is unusual to note that before 2009, and the first of Button's three wins in the last four years, the 33-year-old had finished 10th or worse on eight occasions in nine attempts.
It was not until the straight-out-of-the-box all-conquering Brawn GP car of four years ago that Button's head was turned Down Under.
A year later, having joined McLaren, Button conjured his debut win for the team, and although only sixth in 2011, he was back on the top step of the podium in Melbourne just 12 months ago.
He added: "(In Australia) Every single person in the paddock has a smile on their face again, so it is a very special race, a great place to start the season, and in such a beautiful setting. The Aussies are big fans of sport in general, so it's a place that works for me.
"I've had a good car to achieve what I have at the first race, but we also won in 2010 when we didn't really have such a good car, so maybe it suits my style.
"Maybe I'm more relaxed at the start of a year, more prepared. I don't know. It's just a race I really enjoy. And it's not just the race itself, but the atmosphere and the surroundings of Melbourne.
"There isn't a better location in the world to be kicking off what will no doubt be a fiercely competitive world championship."

[quote user="juice33s"][quote user="lawl"]What's the cb class looking like next year?
With Ross and potentially TT gone next year, not to mention Cweb a year older, i can definitely see us taking a guy in the first 2 rounds[/quote]
My favorite is Virginia's Chase Minnified. He's and all around solid athlete with the size to be equally effective against the pass and the run
Some of the other top rated guys (Kirkpatrick, Harris, Hosley) are soft imo
Here's walters rankings
[/quote] Ya, Minniefield is a guy i mentioned mad long ago, and REDEYE hooked a brother up with a Video.. Hes also got NFL BLOODLINES, if thats worth anything, which it probably is, because his pops FRANK was no joke as a CB in the NFL himself.... This guy is a lockdown corner, and was the best CB on his team, and that team included RAS I DOWLING, and he returns punts and kicks, the guy was 3rd on UVA in all purpose yards as a CB, which is pretty good..
Obviously, as most know, i'm a huge Janoris Jenkins fan as well, i wanted the GIANTS to draft him, before we knew who was coming out.. As it turns out, his Charecter Concerns were worse then i thought, but if he smartens up, this kids got a bright future.. He went toe to toe with some of the best WR's in the land, and handled most all of em, and at least held em down to below there standards...
Brandon Boykin is a guy i thought would be a RD 3 guy, if he came out last draft, so i expect him to move himself up to Late 1st, 2nd round area, as hes pretty good corner...
Of course, u know i gotta give a SUPER SLEEPER CB..lol RIght now, i'm going with TRUMAINE JOHNSON CB MONTANA..

Four-Axis VTL Can Reduce Machining Time

The main criteria when machining aluminum wheels are the process itself and the time required to machine them. In an effort to reduce the machining time required to carry out this process, Tong-Tai developed the TVL-40-S4W, a four-axis VTL with one spindle and two turrets.
Constructed of solid cast iron construction, the machine weighs 34,000 lbs. According to the company, the boxway design is especially suited for producing aluminum wheels with diameter sizes ranging from 14" to 26". The machine is also suited for other turning applications of the same size range.
Other features designed for wheel production include a 75-hp main motor with an A2-11 nose and an optional finger chuck. The spindle accelerates as speeds as high as 2,000 rpm, and each of the two turrets has six stations. A coolant system, an enclosed splashguard, a hydraulic system and a Fanuc control are also among the machine's standard features.
