About 1.5 million Australians are shift workers. Shift work is associated with adverse health, safety and performance outcomes. Circadian rhythm misalignment, inadequate and poor-quality sleep, and sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea, insomnia and shift work disorder (excessive sleepiness and/or insomnia temporally associated with the work schedule) contribute to these associations.
Falling asleep at work at least once a week occurs in 32%–36% of shift workers. Risk of occupational accidents is at least 60% higher for non-day shift workers. Shift workers also have higher rates of cardiometabolic diseases and mood disturbances.
Road and workplace accidents related to excessive sleepiness, to which shift work is a significant contributor, are estimated to cost $71–$93 billion per annum in the United States.
There is growing evidence that understanding the interindividual variability in sleep–wake responses to shift work will help detect and manage workers vulnerable to the health consequences of shift work.
A range of approaches can be used to enhance alertness in shift workers, including screening and treating sleep disorders, melatonin treatment to promote sleep during the daytime, and avoidance of inappropriate use of sedatives and wakefulness-promoters such as modafinil and caffeine. Short naps, which minimise sleep inertia, are generally effective.
Shifting the circadian pacemaker with appropriately timed melatonin and/or bright light may be used to facilitate adjustment to a shift work schedule in some situations, such as a long sequence of night work.
It is important to manage the health risk of shift workers by minimising vascular risk factors through dietary and other lifestyle approaches.
Nearly 1.5 million Australians are employed in shift work, representing 16% of the working population. Shift work is associated with adverse health, safety and performance outcomes. Circadian rhythm misalignment, inadequate and poor-quality sleep, and sleep disorders are thought to contribute to these associations.
The most immediate consequence of shift work is impaired alertness, which has widespread effects on core brain functions — reaction time, decision making, information processing and the ability to maintain attention. This impairment leads to preventable errors, accidents and injuries, especially in high-risk environments. Long-term health consequences of shift work have been reported, including increased vascular events.1
This review evaluates the health burden associated with shift work and discusses strategies for the clinical management of sleep–wake disturbances in shift workers. Evidence-based management strategies require consideration of the key physiological sleep–wake determinants of alertness (Box 1).
The endogenous circadian pacemaker located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei generates and maintains the timing of behavioural and physiological events according to a 24-hour rhythm. The pacemaker signals increased alertness during the day and high sleep propensity at night. Night shift and rotating or extended-duration shifts involve working at the time of the circadian nadir, when sleep propensity is maximal and consequently alertness is substantially impaired. Often complete circadian adaptation does not occur even in permanent night shift workers2 and, as a result, many night workers experience misalignment of their circadian pacemaker and the imposed sleep–wake cycle. The effects of this misalignment are exacerbated by chronic sleep restriction (see below) due to insomnia and reduced sleep duration during the day.2 Misalignment between the circadian pacemaker and the sleep–wake cycle may result in shift work disorder, defined as insomnia during daytime sleep and/or excessive sleepiness during wake episodes temporally associated with the shift schedule and occurring for at least 1 month.3
Circadian modulation of several cardiovascular risk markers (eg, circulating cortisol and catecholamines, blood pressure, cardiac vagal modulation) has been described, consistent with epidemiological studies showing a peak in adverse cardiovascular events in the morning.4 Recent laboratory studies demonstrate that circadian misalignment (such that individuals sleep 12 hours out of phase with the circadian pacemaker) leads to impaired cardiovascular and metabolic function — for example, decreased leptin levels, increased glucose levels despite increased insulin levels, reversed daily cortisol rhythm and increased mean arterial pressure.4
With increasing duration of wakefulness, the propensity for sleep increases and alertness becomes impaired. In an individual with a healthy sleep–wake cycle, alertness is maintained at a relatively stable level through interactions between the circadian pacemaker and the system that tracks how long the individual has been awake, referred to as the sleep homoeostat.2 After about 16 hours, alertness will sharply decline such that the magnitude of impairment in neurobehavioural performance after 17 hours of wakefulness is comparable to that observed at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05%.5 After 24 hours of sleep deprivation, performance impairment is similar in magnitude to that observed at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10%.
In laboratory studies, duration of the sleep episode shows a dose-dependent relationship with daytime neurobehavioural performance,6 reflecting the adverse impact of chronic sleep restriction on alertness level. Adverse effects of chronic sleep restriction on cardiometabolic outcomes have also been demonstrated in both laboratory and epidemiological studies.7 Although variations in intrinsic sleep need in the general population are well recognised, lifestyle factors appear to explain a substantial proportion of the variation in habitual sleep duration.8 Poor sleep quality due to a sleep disorder, other medical conditions or misalignment of sleep in shift workers results in chronic sleep restriction, which causes an even greater degree of alertness impairment overnight in shift workers.9
Alertness impairment is a hallmark symptom of many sleep disorders. Disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), insomnia and shift work disorder are associated with performance impairment or lost productivity, and increased risk of motor vehicle crashes and occupational injuries.6,10 Sleep disorders are more common among shift workers, exacerbating the risk of adverse safety, performance and health outcomes. A recent large survey of a broad range of Australian workers found that 32% of night workers suffered from shift work disorder, including 9% with a severe problem.11 Among United States police officers, 40.1% screened positive on a survey for at least one sleep disorder, with the most common being OSA (33.6%), followed by moderate to severe insomnia (6.5%), shift work disorder (5.4% of total, or 14.5% of those who work night shifts), restless legs syndrome (1.6%) and narcolepsy with cataplexy (0.4%).6,10
The mismatch between the endogenous circadian pacemaker and the sleep–wake cycle results in immediate sleep–wake disturbances, chronic sleep restriction and possibly internal desynchronisation of the circadian system (Box 1). This results in deleterious effects on alertness, cognitive function, mood, social and work activities, and health. Sleepiness is common, increased by more than 50% in truck drivers working night shift and associated with brief sleep episodes.12 Falling asleep during night shift occurred at least weekly in 36% of rotating shift workers, 32% of permanent night workers and 21% of day and evening nurses working an occasional night shift.13
Given this impairment in alertness and cognitive function, it is not surprising that, compared with day workers, the risk of accidents and near-miss events is significantly elevated in shift workers, including those involved in safety-critical industries such as health care, law enforcement and commercial driving.14 Major catastrophes such as the industrial accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Bhopal have been linked to human error related to shift work.2 Shift workers have impaired driving performance and a two to four times increased risk of crashing during their commute to and from work.6,13 Sleep-related accidents are most common during the night shift in transportation fields, peaking towards the end of the night shift, and the risk of occupational accidents is also increased when working outside regular daytime hours (relative risk, 1.6).15 These findings are consistent with those from the general population showing increased risk of motor vehicle crash during the night and after sleep restriction.16 In addition to personal and public safety risks, productivity is impaired, with frequent workplace errors and increased absenteeism.17 Conversely, an intervention based on circadian principles significantly improved productivity in rotating shift workers.18 There is a marked increase in preventable medical errors, including those resulting in fatalities, when medical residents work frequent extended-duration night shifts.6 In police officers, poor sleep associated with shift work is also related to impaired function at work, including administrative and safety errors, falling asleep in meetings, uncontrolled anger and absenteeism.10 Hence, shift work can impact on the safety of the worker and others, as well as reducing productivity.
Shift work is associated with a higher risk of several medical conditions, particularly metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and mood disorders.6 Increased cancer risk has also been described, potentially through disruption of the circadian system from light exposure at night.19 Circadian misalignment is related to cardiometabolic changes, and together with altered food choice and physical activity, leads to increases in obesity, dyslipidaemia and impaired glucose metabolism. Rotating shift workers are 20%–30% more likely to have impaired glucose metabolism (elevated HbA1c levels) with a 70% increase in metabolic syndrome among transport workers.20 In large epidemiological studies, mortality from diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke is higher in long-term shift work, although all-cause mortality is not clearly increased.21 Mood disturbance is common during rotating and night shifts, although the longer-term effects of shift work on mood are less clear. Doctors experience symptoms of anxiety, depressed mood and reduced motivation, in conjunction with impaired cognition, during prolonged night shifts.22 A recent US study of police found that anxiety and depression were more than twice as common in those who had symptoms of disordered sleep.10 Depressive symptoms in shift workers are also linked to increased absenteeism and occupational errors.23 Although impaired mood is common during shift cycles, it remains unclear as to whether shift work results in longer-term mood disturbance.
The health and economic costs of shift work-related sleep–wake disturbances are high, taking into account the combined effects of impaired sleep, workplace and road accidents, mood disorders, lost productivity and cardiovascular health. Precise economic costs have not been quantified, although the economic impact of individual elements provides some idea. The average cost per year to a person suffering from regular insomnia, as occurs with shift work, is estimated at over $5000. Excessive sleepiness occurs in more than 30% of shift workers. The combined cost of road and workplace accidents caused by excessive sleepiness is estimated for 2009 at $71–$93 billion per annum in the US, with shift work a major contributor to this cost.24
The key aims of managing sleep–wake problems in shift workers are to ensure sustained alertness during wake episodes when working and during social activities, and to facilitate restorative sleep when sleep is required. In part, this is achieved by prevention or minimisation of factors that worsen sleep–wake function and therefore impair alertness, such as long work hours or rotating shift schedules, an approach that has been shown to reduce adverse events related to shift work in the health sector. Forward rotation of shifts (from day to afternoon to night) is preferable. Second, given the interindividual variability in sleep–wake responses to shift work, it is also important to develop algorithms that predict whether a shift worker is fit for duty or potentially vulnerable to alertness failure. There have been major efforts to develop biomathematical models using information such as work and sleep–wake schedules to evaluate safety risk associated with particular shift rosters. The use of such approaches outside of the research setting is considered premature. In high-risk industries, such as transportation, companies should have systems in place to minimise the risk related to shift work.
With shift work, sleep–wake disorders are highly probable at some stage in all workers, and an approach to mitigate the consequences of shift work should be adopted in the workplace as occupational health policy; for example, through screening programs for sleep disorders and general health.
It is important to identify and address any comorbid conditions that independently cause insomnia or sleepiness further compromising alertness in the shift worker. Examples are conditions such as OSA, or mood disorders such as depression. Treatment of acute or chronic insomnia is important to maintain sleep continuity, adequate sleep length and alertness during wakefulness. Psychological approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy are important in managing chronic insomnia.25 Limited but judicious use of sedative-hypnotic medication may help workers adapt to rotating sleep schedules but the data are controversial. Sedative-hypnotics should be used carefully owing to their potential side effects, including the carry-over of sedation to the night shift, which may negatively affect performance and safety.26 Use of alcohol, cannabis and non-medically prescribed drugs to manage sleep complaints should be discouraged.
The reality of shift work and long schedules during sustained operations, particularly in the transport industry, has resulted in even regulators considering use of medications to promote alertness under certain situations. This medicalisation of shift work to prevent human error and resulting consequences is controversial. Use of stimulants such as ephedrine or amphetamine is illegal and stigmatised. However, the availability of wakefulness-promoting agents modafinil and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer of modafinil), which improve alertness compared with placebo without much of the adverse effect profile of stimulants, has resulted in the possibility of managing alertness failure during shift work through pharmacotherapy. Based on evidence from large controlled clinical trials,27 these agents are now specifically approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of excessive sleepiness in workers with shift work disorder. Self-limiting headache is the most commonly reported adverse event with these drugs.
Caffeine is used universally as a stimulant to maintain alertness. Caffeine improves cognitive performance in shift workers.28 A variety of doses, preparations and administration regimens are reported to be effective,28 including a single dose of 200 mg and a low-dose, repeated caffeine administration protocol (0.3 mg/kg/h). Residual effects of higher doses of caffeine on daytime sleep have been reported,29 which should be taken into consideration in caffeine administration guidelines, particularly for alertness management in night shift workers.
It should be noted that the above pharmacological strategies are aimed at managing sleepiness symptoms in shift workers. There is no evidence that these can facilitate circadian adaptation to a shift schedule or promote sleep.
Scheduled napping for shift workers may be useful in relieving excessive sleepiness during work shifts.6 However, the exact configuration of naps that maximises alertness on duty has yet to be clarified. Naps ranging from 20 to 40 minutes taken during night shifts (eg, between 2 am and 3 am)30 are beneficial, as is prophylactic napping before a night shift.6
The potential for alertness impairment due to sleep inertia should be considered and sufficient time allowed for its dissipation, particularly for naps occurring during work shifts. Sleep inertia refers to the impairment that occurs immediately on awakening and can last from minutes up to several hours. The magnitude of impairment may even be worse than that after 24 hours of sleep deprivation.31 The severity of sleep inertia varies according to the stage of sleep and circadian phase from which the awakening occurred. There is insufficient evidence to recommend how long an individual in operational settings should wait after a nap for the effects of sleep inertia to dissipate. A recent laboratory-based, simulated night shift work study in healthy male volunteers suggests that a 15-minute interval should be allowed following nap opportunities of up to 60 minutes, and also that workplace education be provided that subjective feelings of sleepiness are not a reliable indicator of performance impairments due to sleep inertia.32
Timed administration of melatonin can facilitate adaptation of the circadian pacemaker to a new sleep–wake schedule;33 however, this is not recommended for rapidly rotating shift schedules. Melatonin can also be used to promote sleep during the daytime, thereby improving sleep quality and duration in night shift workers.33 Although melatonin is safe for short-term use, long-term safety data are lacking.
For adaptation to a series of night shifts, the following is recommended: light exposure in the night and early morning hours to facilitate a circadian phase delay (ie, shift of the circadian pacemaker to a later time) and promote alertness; and shielding morning light exposure to minimise the competing circadian phase advance effect of light34 and to reduce the residual impact of the alerting effect of light on daytime sleep. However, this regimen is only suitable for a limited range of shift types. There appears to be an increase in the frequency of certain types of shift schedule that expose individuals to higher safety risks, including slow rotating, long duration (≥ 12 hours) and quick return (a break of only 8 hours when changing from one shift to another) shifts. Thus, the application of light treatment needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific characteristics of each schedule. Light is the most potent time cue for the circadian pacemaker, synchronising it to the 24-hour day. The magnitude and direction (ie, shift to an earlier or later time) of the effect critically depend on the timing of the exposure as well as the intensity, duration and wavelength. Here, timing relates to phase of the endogenous circadian pacemaker, which would ideally be measured through assessment of endogenous melatonin levels in saliva or core body temperature levels before an intervention. Timed light and darkness exposure can be used to facilitate adaptation of the circadian pacemaker to a new shift schedule.
Shift workers are at higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases and are therefore targets for closer monitoring of risk factors and avoiding unhealthy diets. High fat meals consumed during the night may produce more postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia than equivalent meals during the day.2 Promoting physical activity in the workplace and home is another countermeasure to cardiometabolic risk. Laboratory studies have shown that exercise during the night phase shifts the circadian pacemaker,35 thus potentially facilitating biological adaptation to shift work.
Shift work is commonly associated with adverse safety and health consequences (Box 2). Circadian misalignment, sleep loss and sleep disorders all contribute to these risks, and therefore should be the primary targets for clinical management approaches. Improved methods to detect those who are most vulnerable to the effects of shift work are needed. Diagnosis and management of shift work disorder is an important first step in tackling the significant health burden associated with shift work.

2 Shift work summary
Misalignment between the circadian pacemaker and the timing of sleep, wake and work occurs in shift workers.
Shift work disorder, with insomnia, reduced sleep and excessive sleepiness, is common.
These abnormalities impair cognitive function, alertness and mood and increase accident risk.
Metabolic syndrome is also common in shift workers, resulting in increased cardiovascular risk.
Practical tips for the management of the chronically sleepy (night) shift worker
Optimal shift schedule is important, allowing adequate time for recovery sleep and minimising extended duration shifts.
Have at least 7 hours of sleep per 24 hours.
Initiate main sleep episode as soon as practicable after evening or night shift.
Nap for 30 minutes to 2 hours before evening or night shifts to supplement main sleep episode.
Nap for 20–30 minutes during night shift to help maintain wakefulness, particularly for high-risk occupations (eg, driving).
Keep bedroom quiet and dark, use earplugs.
Increase exposure to bright light during evening/first half of a night shift.
After a night shift, avoid exposure to bright light; eg, use sunglasses or blue-light blocking glasses.
Melatonin (1–2 mg) is effective in promoting daytime sleep.
Caffeine can be used to promote alertness. High-frequency (eg, hourly) low-dose caffeine administration (eg, 30–40 mg — about one cup of tea or half a cup of instant coffee) is effective. High doses should be avoided close to daytime sleep.
Novel alertness-enhancing agents may be beneficial in managing shift work disorder.
Screen for sleep and mood disorders (eg, shift work disorder, sleep apnoea, insomnia, depression).
Cardiovascular risk factors should also be addressed as a part of the clinical management plan.

There are several classifications of foreclosure properties ― including pre-foreclosures, bank-repossessed/real-estate-owned properties, and government-owned properties ― and it is helpful to understand the nuances of each type.
Pre-Foreclosure Properties
It usually takes about 6 months for a bank to complete the legal and administrative steps necessary to finalize a bank foreclosure. During the pre-foreclosure period, the borrower/homeowner may be able to negotiate a deal to avoid the potentially negative results of a bank foreclosure (which includes a tarnished credit report and the loss of equity in property).
Buying a pre-foreclosure property can be beneficial to both the bank and the buyer because it eliminates the often lengthy foreclosure process. Since the bank avoids having to maintain and later sell the property, they may allow a new borrower to take over the current mortgage payments. Banks also tend to be more willing to negotiate favorable loan terms and rates for pre-foreclosure properties.
It is important to note that the buyer must obtain permission from the seller if they are interested in a pre-foreclosure sale. This is because banks (and other mortgage lenders) are not allowed to disclose financial information about homeowners to potential buyers.
Bank Repossessed or Real Estate Owned (REO) Foreclosure Properties
Perhaps the saddest part of a foreclosure occurs when the bank notifies a homeowner that it intends to seize the property and begin eviction proceedings. After all the legal documents are filed, the bank foreclosure process is completed and the homeowner (or tenant) is evicted. The home is then referred to as "bank repossessed" or "Real Estate Owned" property.
Before a house becomes REO property, it must be put up for sale at a foreclosure auction. Bank foreclosure auctions are typically conducted by a local sheriff or other designated official. These days, however, there are few (if any) bids on properties at auctions ― so the home typically reverts back to the bank and is classified as an REO property.
A Real Estate Owned property may be in need of repair, since the last homeowner probably stopped spending money on general maintenance ― the landscaping may be overgrown and the property's interior could be damaged, or even trashed. Banks generally want to sell these types of foreclosure properties as soon as possible, in order to reduce their inventory of non-performing assets and to stop paying for property maintenance. Because of that, banks are usually willing to accept below-market offers from new homebuyers with good credit.
Government-Owned Foreclosure Properties
Government foreclosed properties present another opportunity for homebuyers to purchase homes at distressed prices. These properties are typically made available by various government or law enforcement agencies for a variety of reasons, including the following:
- Non-payment of small business association or other government agency loans
- Failure to pay taxes to the county, state, or IRS
- Government surplus properties
- Seizure in criminal or customs-related cases
- Unclaimed property escheated to the state

©2012 Christie Golden (P)2012 Simon & Schuster Audio
"If you're into Warcraft, you'll love this story!"
Compelling storyline, well written. Provides a lot more character depth to many of the major Warcraft characters.
The storyline is as good as her previous Warcraft books (she's written 5 other Warcraft titles- unfortunately this is the only one available from Audible!) I think she's the best of the writers for Warcraft books!
The narration was adequate, but could have been better.
If you want war between the Horde and Alliance, you've got it!
Please add more Christie Golden books to Audible, especially her Warcraft books!
Yes. I thought the reader was wonderful. She can't get the low's needed for male orcs - but few can :)
The mana bomb
Jaina and Thrall fighting
Jaina - a woman scorn?
I thought the reader did a wonderful job. I thought the story was great too. It isn't a historical piece of work, but those of you who are fans of world of warcraft, Alliance or Horde, this was a great story - especially before Mists of Pandaria.
"The voice acting was painful."
This was an enjoyable tie-in novel that is somewhat important for WoW players to read if they truly want to understand the lore, because the game skips over much of this story and jumps to the aftermath. And although the story is enjoyable, the poor narration makes it much better ebook than audio book.
The narrator's normal reading voice was pleasant, but when she got in character to do male voices, it was an unbearable attempt at a deep gravely voice. Orc and Tauren especially sounded like a child's mocking impersonation of an elderly male. I often couldn't tell who was speaking because everyone sounded the same. I don't expect a narrator to have a voice that can truly match every character, but this was hard to listen to. Her normal reading voice would have been much better.
"Great Story, Can't stand the narrator's voice."
I have read or listened to several Christie Golden books. She is a fantastic author and I strongly suggest her works to anyone interested in the Warcraft universe.
The narrator's attempt to give justice to some of the characters such as Garrosh Hellscream is so feeble, that it is border line hilarious. I have been tempted to skip over the parts where Garrosh is involved but keep listening in fear of missing a plot detail.
Read the book. Skip this particular audio book. The girl, although has a nice voice, she does not do any of the Orc or Tauren characters justice.
"Better than I could ever imagine."
Yes, I love to listen while working, it's like doing two things at once.
Oh my, this is a tough question, I really liked the whole story but but better understanding Jaina was well worth it.
"Pretty good story"
I've never been a big fan of Jaina. Her bleeding heart always bothered me a bit. Angry Jaina ready to level Orgimmar was exciting.
"was good"
wont spoil anything but a world war was caused by a gnome death.. I would have destroyed org tho... rip little gnome
"Great Lore!"
There are a few slow points in this book, but overall amazing story. Seeing how this event changed so my characters from the horde and alliance.
"The Best Warcraft Audiobook"
Justine Eyre is amazing in this reading. Absolutely loved her.
Best Warcraft Audiobooks:
Jaina Proudmoore
War Crimes
"Not Really a Tide, More of a Leak."
One of the weakest I've listened to so far.
"That's it? Really? This is just to tease me into playing the game, isn't it?"
Her male voices--Garrosh's especially--were awful and unappealing. Although I did enjoy her as Jaina, this book would have been better in the hands of someone that could do the deep, booming voices of the Orcs and Tauren.
Not really. There were times that started off as intense, but nothing kept me wanting to listen all the way through.
Although I still enjoyed it, it may be the weakest WoW book so far.

North Carolina drivers could be charged by how many miles they drive
Pay by the Mile?
With the growing population and growing cost of construction and road repairs, the State of North Carolina must come up with an idea to bring in more money. But by doing so, that could mean more money coming out of your pockets
North Carolina drivers currently pay one of the highest gas taxes in the nation, at 37.6 cents per gallon. But due to more fuel efficient cars requiring less gas, the state is taking in less money from that gas tax.
Last month the Department of Transportation board members met to discuss the issue.
"They looked at all the different issues how construction cost and roadways doubled in the last decade, also how we're getting a lot more people moving in the state" said Steve Abbott, NC DOT Communication Supervisor. "Basically we'll have four million people in the state by 2040".
One of the proposals the board is looking into is charging drivers half a cent for every mile they drive.
For example, a person who travelled 15 thousand miles in a year would pay about 75 dollars.
One of the other issues with this proposal is privacy. In order to track your mileage, state officials are proposing putting in GPS tracking systems in your cars.
However Abbott stresses this is just one of seven proposals the board is looking into.
Some of the other ideas on the table are increasing the insurance liability fee, a 1% increase in the highway use pass, or lifting the cap on gas tax.
According to the NC DOT official, the transportation board would have to approve the proposal.
It would then go to the General Assembly for approval, then to the governor for final approval into law.

To laud someone doesn't mean to give them knighthood, but to praise them extravagantly — usually in a very public manner. Being lauded, of course, can have the same tonic effect as having been made a lord.
Fun fact: the word laud is related to the drug laudanum, a potent combo of alcohol and opium first invented in the sixteenth century. Its creator, the alchemist Parcelsus, clearly knowing the effect it had on people, took its name from the Latin word laudere, meaning "to praise." Not surprisingly, it remained one of the world's most lauded drugs until its use became strictly controlled in the early twentieth century.

No matter what brand of MP3 player you favour, Apple, Sony, Creative, iRiver etc. one thing remains constant - the earphones that come in the box are, to all intents and purposes, rubbish! I still find it very depressing whenever I look around a tube train and see the vast majority of passengers sitting there with white Apple earbuds plugged into their head. The worrying thing is that in such an environment where the ambient noise level is ridiculously high, these passengers turn the volume on their players up to ear bleeding levels, just so they can hear their music!
Their answer is simple - get a decent pair of noise isolating earphones that seal into your ear canals. Once you have a good seal in place, the vast majority of ambient noise is blocked out, and since there's no active noise cancelling involved in the process, you're not affecting the sound quality of your music. Manufacturers such as Shure, Ultimate Ears and Etymotic Research have been making noise isolating earphones for years, all of which offer a massive step up in quality compared to anything you'll find in the box with your player. And now Klipsch wants a piece of that earphone upgrade market.
Although Klipsch hasn't had a massive presence in the UK to date, anyone who has more than a passing interest in audio will have heard of the brand. Klipsch is keen to increase its profile in the UK, so you can expect to see a flurry of products in the coming months, ranging from high-end consumer devices, to audiophile gear. Kicking things off we have the Image noise isolating earphones, which Klipsch would like to think that all iPod (and other MP3 player) owners should be upgrading to, but there's some pretty stiff competition out there from the established brands.
Before I get into the meat of this review, I have to say that these are, quite simply, the most comfortable earphones I have ever used. It's true that Shure earphones are comfortable, and the foam tips create a great seal, but Klipsch has taken comfort to new levels. The silicone tips that are supplied with the Images are simply brilliant - they produce a stunningly effective seal with no effort whatsoever. And once these earphones are seated in your ear canals it really is easy to forget that they're there, they really are that comfortable.

Hey Riyas, thanks for the review :)
Just a quick question:
Will you be reviewing the new X5 version of the Images as well?
I was thinking that it would be nice to have a comparison of the X5 vs the X10 and a comparison between the X5 and similar models since the X5 are considerably cheaper.
Ohh damn, I mistyped your name, sorry about that :(
I'd tried in ear headphones before (sennheiser cx95) and found them uncomfortable.
However after reading review after review raving about in ear phones, then reading yours about how light these aer I went for a set as I managed to get them for £96.
All I can say is wow!
They are so comfortable and the sound is phenomenal.
Admittedly I'd moved from some Sennheiser mx660 earbuds however I just can't believe the difference!
Thanks TR
hey dave can u pls tell where u got x10 for 90 quids
Can't disagree more about the noise transmission through these headphones - it is absolutely terrible, worse than any other headphones I have previously owned.
Yes, sound quality is good (although not as good as my old Shure's - not as much separation in the soundstage) and they are extremely comfortable...much more than Shure's. But, the cable noise transmission is terrible, to the point where it ruins your appreciation of the headphones. There is excessive friction noise coming through the cable - unless you are listening at very loud volumes you can hear this friction through the earphones if you so much as move your head when seated...so trying to use them for exercise is right out. And it doesn't matter which ear buds you use as all of the ones supplied have the same problem as the noise comes up the cable, not in from 'outside'. It really isn't acceptable in a pair of headphones of this cost and I would recommend sticking with better known makes such as Shure.
I have written to Klipsch support twice to query this and have received no response at all...so for me 2/5 and very disappointing...

Monkey makeover
Mileage: 61.3
September mileage: 470.9
So my dream of riding the Golden Circle next weekend is really starting to take shape. The weather is so far looking like it will be fairly nice (you know, for early winter.) I contacted my friends Anthony and Sierra in Whitehorse and they're willing to put be up on Thursday night and possibly even ride part of the tour with me. (I owe those two enough favors at this point that I'll probably just have to promise them my first born.) Then I started to seriously consider which bike to use. I no longer trust my clankity, creaky touring bike, at least out on my own in a fairly remote part of the world. But it also seemed a little silly to take a mountain bike on a 370-mile road tour. But then I wondered ... what if I turned my mountain bike into a touring bike? I spent the evening in my friend Terry's garage last night wrenching the bike and discussing the logistics. Then, today I dropped by Glacier Cycles to make it reality. The result is my new-and-improved Karate Monkey, KiM ... the lean, mean, remote-Alaska-road-eating machine:
I've had this rigid fork since I got the bike - it was the fork that came with the frame. I stuffed it under my bed in favor of a Reba suspension fork, but kept it around so I could switch it out for winter riding. Since winter is all but here, I figured I could get a jump on it and switch the forks now. It'll mean riding rigid on trails for the rest of the fall (likely on my Pugsley). But it should also be a better fit for my Yukon tour.
I also bought these "skinny" touring tires to roll better on pavement but also chew up the potential gravel and mud without too many problems. If there's a lot of ice and snow out there, that's another thing. But if there's a lot of ice and snow out there, well, that's another thing.
But that's also why I started to think more seriously about bringing all of the camping gear I'd actually need to spend a night out, and not just relying on Sierra and Anthony and Yukon motels. I was also thinking more that as long as it's not raining, a campout along the Haines Highway may even be fun. So, basically, I outfitted KiM with svelte new tires and a sleek new fork and then packed her up like a pig. On the handlebars I have a North Face sleeping bag rated to -20, a 3/4" Thermarest and a Black Diamond winter bivy sack. The seat post bag has a spare tube, my rain pants, an extra base layer, a down coat, mittens, extra socks, a balaclava and some thermal pants (did I mention I'm expecting winter weather?) All I have in the frame bag right now is my water filtration bottle (I'm planning to carry the rest of my water on my back.) There's obviously a lot more room in there than what I'll need to carry a day's worth of food and the miscellaneous other things I'll need, so I may rethink the packing up front or in back. Or I may just carry more stuff than I need. Nothing wrong with that.
The front bag may look like it would really mess up the handling, hanging off the handlebars as it does. I rode it around my block a couple of times and didn't notice any problems. I'll probably take it out for a longer ride when it's drier just to make sure. I think everything put together in that bundle weighs only about five or six pounds, so it's more bulk than weight. There's also the consideration that I will be riding exclusively on roads, so the handling can be more sluggish without problems. Although it does seem a shame to blast right by the mountain biking capital of the north and not even hit up any singletrack, I simply won't have time.
All of my bike bags are the same Epic Designs bike bags I used on my Pugsley in Iditarod Trail Invitational last February. The front bundle was specifically designed for my pig of a minus 40 degree sleeping bag, so it doesn't cinch up as tight as it could over the "small" minus 20 degree bag, which is why I'm getting some bulging (the clearance is still fine.) The frame bag is also too big for the Karate Monkey. But beyond that, all of the gear transferred really well between bikes and different uses. I should mention that Geoff used that exact frame bag and seat post bag during the Great Divide Race. Epic Designs: It's the gift that keeps on giving.
I feel really excited about the prospect of this trip. I should feel more nervous. I did the exact same bike tour a year ago and spent two months preparing and training for it. But what a difference a year can make ... I know a lot can go wrong and it will be hard either way, but I feel a lot more confidence in my abilities, in dealing both with the physical challenge of the mileage and the psychological challenge of the remoteness. I rode my touring bike out to the end of the road today as the mechanics at Glacier Cycles were working on KiM. It was one of those days where I rolled into Echo Cove and despite steady rain and cold wind gusts, I really wished I could just keep going. Sometimes, you just need those open miles. Sometimes they just call to you.

Pan-Roasted Salmon with Orange Vinaigrette
Try substituting arugula for the fresh baby spinach, and for added depth and complexity, use blood oranges when they are available. You might also want to try cooking the salmon with its skin. Make sure to allow the skin to crisp up in the pan before plating, skin side up.
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced white onions
- 1 anchovy fillet, drained and minced
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoon each coarsely chopped fresh parsley, basil and mint
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 large bunch baby spinach (about 4 ounces), stemmed
- 1 medium fennel bulbhalved, cored and thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 small head of radicchio, torn into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons pure olive oil
- Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 450°. In a nonreactive bowl, combine the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, onion, anchovy, orange zest and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Place the spinach, fennel and radicchio in a heatproof bowl.
In a large nonreactive ovenproof skillet, heat the pure olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet, skinned side down. Cook over high heat for 1 minute. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the salmon until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and add the reserved dressing. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then pour the hot dressing over the greens and toss to mix. Arrange the slightly wilted greens on 4 plates, set a piece of salmon on top and serve.
Make Ahead
The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.
Serve With
A crusty loaf of French or Italian bread.
Suggested Pairing
Mulderbosch's Sauvignon Blanc, from South Africa, has ripe, intensely citrusy fruit that makes it a fine match for the salmon.

... were a few remnants of Australia's Americas Cup win in 1983, which was pleasing, including an Australian milk bar, replete with hot pies and all.
Otherwise Newport was quaint in the way of all New England towns and was similar to villages in the UK of the same vintage (Newport is celebrating its 375th birthday this year!).

2. Best city - Boston

Welcome to the third and final part in this series; in parts one and two we created the test HTML page, a series of CSS files and the JavaScript code needed to make it all work at a basic level. This part of the tutorial is going to look at the method by which we are going to ensure that when a user visits our site and makes some style choices, those choices remain if they navigate away from the site and then later return.
As we left things in part two, the page itself was working and the style control panel could be used to easily change the font size and theme of the page. Visitors also had the opportunity to create a printer-friendly page consisting of just black and white styles. Before we look at saving visitors style choices, we're just going to tidy a couple of things up.
We didn't go back to the HTML file and add the relevant event handlers or ID attributes in part two, but if you went ahead and did this anyway, you may have noticed when switching to the print medium style that the controls div loses its background colour and the link text changes to purple to denote a visited link. This is only a trivial problem admittedly, but to me it just doesn't look professional. You can fix it by adding the style rules to be applied when no colour stylesheet is in force to the userControlledStyles.css file.

ARCADIA - A 17-year-old Boy Scout is out to make a positive change in his community by altering its cats.
Christian Zwicky of Boy Scout Troop 125 in Arcadia has set the goal of getting 20 felines spayed or neutered as his Eagle Scout project.
"The whole reason for me doing this is because I have a deep affection for cats," he said. "I've always grown up with cats."
With help from his mother, Barbarina Zwicky, and friend Kent Bevan, 15, of San Marino, Christian is capturing abandoned and feral cats, getting them spayed or neutered and placing them in homes.
After forming a partnership with veterinarian Dr. Valerie Tesauro of the Tender Loving Care clinic in South Pasadena and several anonymous donors, Christian said he is also offering to have pet cats spayed and neutered for free for Arcadia residents.
Cats deemed feral by Pasadena Humane Society officials cannot be placed through the facility's adoption program, Christian said, so he wants to trap them, have them altered by his partnering veterinarians and then release them.
"Our first goal has to be reducing the cat population so it doesn't become a repetitive problem," he said. "We don't want to have more and more cats on the street starving."
Using traps and bait, Christian has already captured six homeless cats and had them spayed or neutered. His family adopted two of them, and Christian's grandmother took in a third.
Christian and his mom said they hate the sight of malnourished, neglected cats in Arcadia's alleys.
"These are also a part of our community, and this kind of suffering should never be allowed in the caliber of city we have in Arcadia," Barbarina Zwicky said. "It might be a small effort, but each one is a life."
Bevan said he doesn't share Christian's unconditional love of felines and thought the idea "was crazy" when he first learned of the project. However, he said he has grown to appreciate the importance of what Christian is doing.
The teen started the project earlier this year and hopes to reach his goal of getting 20 cats sterilized by the end of September to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest level in Boy Scouts.
"It's not going to finish when the project ends," he said, adding he wants to lobby local officials for laws requiring mandatory spaying or neutering for cats.
To get a pet cat spayed or neutered free or charge, or for more information, e-mail him a firstname.lastname@example.com.

BeschreibungTakes us from the private aspects of sexuality into the arena of public policy and state regulation.
Pressestimmen"Joffe takes us from the most private aspects of sexuality into the arena of public policy and state regulation." --Carroll Smith-Rosenberg "The author convincingly argues that the Federal Government, the feminist movement and the New Right fail to adequately address the often wrenching conflicts faced daily by birth control and abortion workers. [These conflicts] have spurred many family planning workers to construct and implement a wholly unauthorized vision of family planning policy, one that melds pure ideology with the complicated truths of individuals' social and sexual lives... [Joffe] makes a cogent and finely nuanced case for the wisdom-indeed, the necessity- of this vision." --Marian Sandmaier, New York Times Book Review "A psychosocial presentation at its best, the book probes and illuminates the workers' whole environment, documenting their need for status and engagement to offset meager pay and enervating routine and their need to balance sexual liberalism with concern for immature, vulnerable women. A valuable resource that clarifies human service programs as a whole." --Library Journal "A wonderfully alive and readable ethnographic study." --The Women's Review of Books

India Said to Consider Halting Dollar Supplies to RefinersJeanette Rodrigues, Rakteem Katakey and Divya Patil
India's central bank is looking at ending an emergency facility under which it has directly sold dollars to state refiners since late August, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The rupee fell.
The Reserve Bank of India is in talks with the companies to gauge the potential impact of withdrawing the measure on the exchange rate, two of the people said, asking not to be named as the discussions are private. The facility stays operational and "any tapering of the window, as and when it occurs, will be done in a calibrated manner," the RBI said in a statement on its website today.
The dollar supplies were announced on Aug. 28, when the rupee slumped to a record low of 68.845 against the greenback, to temper excess demand for foreign exchange in the domestic market. The local currency has rebounded more than 12 percent since. India's three biggest state refiners bought about $300 million a day from the local spot market to pay for oil imports before the RBI move, Standard Chartered Plc said in August. Asia's No. 3 economy imports about 80 percent of its oil.
"The RBI could be trying to signal that some sort of normalcy has been restored to the market," said Vishnu Varathan, a senior economist at Mizuho Bank Ltd. in Singapore. "The markets will now be a bit cautious on the rupee and investors will be less inclined to" buy the currency, he said.
RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, who raised the benchmark rate last month for the first time since 2011 to counter inflation, has said the bank will gradually scale back the dollar supplies as the rupee stabilizes.
Rupee Falls
The rupee reversed the day's 0.5 percent gains and slumped as much as 0.8 percent to 61.7100 a dollar before trading at 61.3225 as of 1:46 p.m. in Mumbai, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg.
One-month implied volatility in the rupee, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, fell 38 basis points, or 0.38 percentage point, to 13.04 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gauge touched 12.83 percent earlier, the lowest level since Aug. 16.
Under the contingency measure, the RBI provided the U.S. currency to Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum Corp., according to the central bank.

SPD needs your help with Marginal Way hit and run
by Detective Mark Jamieson Seattle Police Blotter
Traffic Collision Investigation Squad (TCIS) detectives are seeking the public's assistance for a hit and run collision that occurred last night on West Marginal Way South. The collision left a motorcyclist with a broken leg.
At about 8:15 last night, a 26-year-old man on his motorcycle was stopped facing southbound at a red light on West Marginal Way South, waiting to turn onto South Holden Street. Without warning, a vehicle travelling north on W. Marginal Way S. struck the motorcyclist, causing the motorcycle to fall over onto the man, breaking his leg. The vehicle continued to drive north on W. Marginal Way S. without stopping to provide information or render aid.
Seattle Fire responded and treated the motorcyclist. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center. His injury is not considered life-threatening.
The only description detectives have right now of the vehicle is a darker grey (charcoal) vehicle missing its driver's door side mirror. Anyone with information on this hit and run collision investigation is asked to contact TCIS Detective Schmidt at (206) 684-8935.

Prices at the pump continue to drop with the national average falling for 14 consecutive days after a slight uptick earlier in the month. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline dropped to $2.22 per gallon today, down six cents in the last week and a low unseen since February 2015. Maryland's gas prices are following a similar pattern to the nationwide trend, dropping for 13 consecutive days. The state average is four cents lower than the national average at $2.18 per gallon and also at a low price not seen in eight months. Maryland's average is four cents less than one week ago, eight cents less than last month, and 87 cents per gallon cheaper than last year on this date. Cumberland is down a penny from a week ago now averaging $2.21 per gallon
May 26th, 2012 by WCBC Radio
Gas prices in Maryland are a good bit lower this Memorial Day holiday than one year ago. WBAL reports that the average for regular is hovering around $3.58 currently. That compares with $3.85 or more in late May 2011.
The current average is also a nickel lower than a week ago and about 30 cents below a month ago.
And gasoline in Maryland is a relative bargain, about a dime lower than the current national average.
The downward trend is expected to continue in the next few weeks.

text: Big questions and answers in Morgantown By Mitch Vingle April 21, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN - For the most part, the Gold-Blue spring game is a carnival.This year, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was the barker, standing on the field behind his quarterbacks.It was rainy and cold. There were 12-minute quarters, then 10-minute quarters. Yes, one could see freshman Karl Joseph. Another freshman, Jordan Thompson, had the most catches with eight. The leading receiver in yardage, though, was Terrence Gourdine with 118 yards. Yes, that Terrence Gourdine.But let's get away from the big top that was Milan Puskar Stadium on Saturday and address the big issues as WVU nears its first season in the Big 12.Heading into spring, Holgorsen told me he wants a more consistently potent offense. On Saturday, it was anything but consistent. His take on the overall spring effort?"Nobody's happy where you are after spring, just because you're playing so many different people," Holgorsen said on Saturday. "I know who the guys are that will be playing the majority of the snaps. The closer we get to a game, the more we'll hone in on it. That's when you kind of figure out if we're getting more consistent."Quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital told me before drills that even though he's thrilled to have Geno Smith, he wanted him to work on getting the ball out quicker. It's been a focal point all spring.On Saturday, Smith was 23-of-29 passing with one interception, two touchdowns and 281 yards passing. And he had a satisfied look concerning the quicker release."I've made tremendous improvement with that," Smith said. "I know where to go with the ball. I don't hesitate as much as I may have in the past. It's something, though, I have to keep working on - it's never going to be 100 percent great."Josh Jenkins? He's been a big - 6-foot-4, 291-pound - concern after an MCL kneecap injury in last season's spring game. "You don't know how excited I was when the game was over," Jenkins said after Saturday's game. "I went to my offensive line coach and said, 'Man, I can't believe I made it through spring and get to play next year.'"The question, though, centers on how effectively he can play. On Saturday, he played well."I feel pretty good," Jenkins said. "I feel pretty healthy. I'm going to keep getting my leg stronger. I can get stronger. I'll keep focusing on that this summer."I don't think I lost much. I think I'm better. I had time to lift and get stronger and watch film and get used to the offense."Another position of interest was tailback. No, that position isn't as important in Holgorsen's "Air Raid" attack, but a little explosiveness would help. Is Shawne Alston, the current starter, the answer? I can't say I'm sold. "Very average day," Alston said after gaining 52 yards on 11 carries. "I'm disappointed in myself." Alston was limping with a hamstring tweak and admitted he needs to cut some weight to gain some speed. Couldn't hurt.At wide receiver, WVU entered the spring with a terrific front line, starring Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, but a concern with regard to depth. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson believes depth was built."I think we did [build depth]," Dawson said. "Obviously, we want these kids coming in the fall to be able to help us. But I'm fairly pleased with how the [second string] played all spring. I think we found a couple kids that can help us."Jordan [Thompson] is definitely a guy that came on pretty good. I think Dante Campbell made some plays. That's another guy that wasn't on the field last year. And K.J. [Myers] redshirted last year. All three of those kids, in my opinion, showed they can help and contribute."As an aside, George Washington High grad Cody Clay caught three passes for 31 yards and stands No. 3 at the Y receiver position, first string at tight end (if a set for that ever surfaces) and a special teams player. But back to the concerns. Is Quinton Spain, a 6-5, 335-pound redshirt sophomore, ready to take over at left tackle for Don Barclay? So far, so good."I've improved a lot with my hand placement," Spain said. "But the coaches say no one has their [starting] spots. I have to have the mindset that every day I try to start."Finally, there is that defensive line. There's big Will Clarke, nose tackle Jorge Wright and ... "It's a work in progress," said defensive line coach Erik Slaughter on Saturday. "We've come a long way, but we have a long way to go."Where is improvement needed?"Start with playing with relentless effort," Slaughter said. "That's play-in and play-out. There were times we did [Saturday] and times we could've played harder."Depth is a major concern."We'll see what the freshmen bring in here," Slaughter said. "We're in a deal where Will Clarke is our starting end. Behind him is Dozey [Ezzemma]. He did a great job. We've played Tyler [Anderson] there some."Inside we have Jorge [Wright] and J.B. [Lageman] and Shaq [Rowell] all [starters]. At buck [linebacker], we have a good mix. Tyler's playing well over there. Josh [Francis] played well. Taige [Redman] is playing well. Then you have to put [injured] Jewone [Snow] in the mix as well."They are big questions - and answers - that were on display in Saturday's big top.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/w...her_PPX_02.jpg The new Walther PPX was on display at the NASGW Expo, and regular readers of this site have probably already seen some of the photos of the pistol. Here are some more details on the gun and some of my observations.
The new PPX will be available in 9mm and .40 S&W. The 9mm version will hold 16 rounds in the magazine. Alternatively, the .40 S&W will pack 14 rounds into the mag. Either way, you should have an adequate amount of felon repellant should it be needed. http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/w...her_PPX_07.jpg.

Fans of Dancing on Ice will no doubt remember that in 2011, judges Karen Barber and Jason Gardiner fell out somewhat spectacularly after acerbic and outspoken Jason's critique of Johnson Beharry's performance on the show upset Karen…
After she pointed out that she didn't approve of what Jason had had to say, he retorted, "If your opinions still mattered you'd be on the panel."
A tearful Karen hit back with, "Jason, you really are so offensive…
"You bring to this panel so little, you really do."
At the time, around 2,000 viewers complained to telly watchdog Ofcom, having branded Jason's remarks as "vile," and accusing him of being "a mean bully."
To the Daily Mail, an ITV source confirmed that Jason had been reprimanded by the show's producers over the row, and the paper added that he had "effectively been given a warning about his conduct."
A spokesman for the show added, "The producers of Dancing on Ice have made it clear to Jason that this type of comment is unacceptable.
"Jason is sorry for his behaviour and any offence caused to Karen."
So, with now some three years worth of water under the bridge, one might think that relations between the pair had improved, but evidently not.
Speaking to the Mirror, and when asked if things had thawed between herself and Jason, Karen said, "What do you think?"
She added, "We are just doing our job."
Fellow judge Robin Cousins added, "It's not about friendship, it's about doing your job.
"You don't have to like the people you are with but you have to respect what they do."
After the infamous row, Jason said, "The producers spoke to me about Karen coming back, I thought it was a brilliant idea.
"I mean Karen started off as a judge on the panel with me from day one then she was sort of moved on to a kitchen stool off the side, which was a bit weird."
And when asked if "her opinion mattered" now, he candidly replied, "No, but she has one and it's better that she has it on the panel than on the kitchen stool off to the side."
Dang, I do love how utterly catty he is! Don't you?
Dancing on Ice returns for a final series tomorrow at 6.15pm on ITV, but for now, here's a reminder of that rather epic onscreen row…

MRC's Bozell on Hannity & Colmes Friday Night Re: NYT/McCain
Brent Bozell, President of the Media Research Center which runs NewsBusters, appeared Friday night, at about 9:40 PM EST on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes -- with Ollie North filling in for Hannity. Topic: New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller's defense of his paper's hit piece on John McCain, Bozell's call for his dismissal and how the attack has united conservatives.
MP3 audio clip (5 minutes)
Friday morning, Bozell appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal and you can watch an excerpt in this NewsBusters post or the entire 30-minute segment on C-SPAN's site.
On Friday afternoon, the MRC distributed and posted this press release:
ALEXANDRIA, VA. -- New York Times' executive editor Bill Keller continues to defend the paper's unsubstantiated gossip alleging an improper sexual relationship between Senator John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman -- even claiming that "no one has challenged what we actually reported," despite clear denials from McCain, Iseman and three top campaign advisors.
Keller repeatedly admitted in a National Public Radio interview that he and the Times had no facts and no story. As for the alleged affair, "If, hypothetically, we had established that he had a romantic relationship with a lobbyist -- and had done favors for that lobbyist -- that would have been a different story." As to the possible conflict of interest, "We don't know if there was a quid or a quo in this case."
Just last November, Keller laughingly offered, "[W]e are agnostic as to where a story may lead; we do not go into a story with an agenda or a pre-conceived notion. We do not manipulate or hide facts to advance an agenda. We strive to preserve our independence from political and economic interests, including our own advertisers. We do not work in the service of a party, or an industry, or even a country. When there are competing views of a situation, we aim to reflect them as clearly and fairly as we can."
Brent Bozell today issued the following statement:"The New York Times' reputation is now in shambles, and may be unrecoverable. The paper has for years engaged in irresponsible reporting -- but this fiasco may have removed any remaining doubt as to whether it can be trusted to report the facts. It appears it can not.
"Executive Editor Bill Keller continues to shamelessly defend its delivery of rumor and gossip, fit to print only for the likes of the National Enquirer.
"The only hope of beginning to rebuild the Times' reputation is to replace the man in charge of this mess. The New York Times should fire Bill Keller."

This doesnt work often but tonight, it worked to perfection. I am driving along minding the speed limit in a 35mph when a jerk in a new gen Lexus SUV comes up behind me fast, pulls to my right, passes me when his lane is ending and the sign says "DO NOT PASS" and he barely clears my front bumper. Needless to say I am pissed. He pulls over into the left lane as we come to a red light and I was intent on smoking him.
I look up and ahead to check for traffic and such like I always do and spot some Crown Vic headlights on the opposite side of the street about 200 yards up in the left turn lane. Its just sitting there not turning, obviously a cop, this is going to be sweet revenge I look over at the guy in the Lexus who is looking at me and I gun it a few times and turn on my radar detector, nothing yet. Light goes green and I punch it modestly so as not to get the cops attention but enough for the guy to think I am racing. Speed limit opens to 45mph and I pace him and let up at 45-50 as we approach the still not turning cop. By the time we get to him, its definitley a cop and I am right at the speed limit and the fool in the Lexus is still racing and has a couple lengths on me
The cop then flips a U turn and bingo, he turns on his radar and the fool in the Lexus is still going WOT probably close to 80mph by now The cop punches it and flies by me turning on his lights chasing the Lexus. When I get up to them, the cop has caught him and they are pulling over. I pass by and give him the hazard light victory signal So much fun.

Man arrested for Conley Road murder
Domionte Cheatum picked by Boone Co. deputies Thursday
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A man was arrested in connection to a recent murder in late June at the Broadway Marketplace on Conley Road.
Domionte Cheatum was taken into custody in the 700 block of north Providence Thursday afternoon. Boone County deputies pulled over his car because it did not have current registration.
Investigators think a drug deal turned violent in the parking lot outside El Maguey on late June 23. Officers found Anthony M. Unger, 25, of Jefferson City, shot next to a white Pontiac Bonneville.
The next day two people were arrested for their roles. Officers think Samuel Butler of Columbia and Joycelynn Brown of Jefferson City were involved. But law enforcement still had to find several other suspects, including the shooter.

Push Queues + Error Queues = Better Queue Processing
IronMQ has had push queue capabilities for a while now. Push queues allow messages/payloads to be pushed to one or more endpoints and is a very popular feature. Within IronMQ push queues, up to 100 subscribers can be added – with the routing being either unicast (pushing to 1 subscriber) or multi-cast (pushing to all subscribers).
Push queues eliminate the need to poll as well as provide access to messages/payloads more promptly. (As soon as the message comes in, it gets distributed to one or more subscribers.)
To make push queues even more effective for transaction processing and other message handling needs, we recently added an error queue capability to IronMQ. If error queues are enabled, messages that fail – after a set number of retries – will get put onto an error queue. This makes it so you can easily recover if the subscribers are not available or under significant load.
Retries Help…
|Retries help…
With IronMQ, retries can be applied and so if a push fails, it'll retry after a certain delay for up to n times (where n is set by the developer). A problem arises, however, if all the retries fails. You certainly don't want lose messages and so with error queues, messages that fail on the push will be placed on an error queue.
… But Error Queues Pick Up after Retries Fail
Once a message hits an error queue, it can be dealt with as appropriate. The common approach with an error queue is to poll it on a periodic basis and run though a set of exception steps. This can include a combination of logging exceptions and possibly retrying (if the case of network outages or possibly api-related issues).
|…but errors still happen
Error messaging can also include a completely different set of processing steps. Additionally, error queues could be turned into push queues but beware, because that can introduce the potential for dropping messages if pushes fail within that push queue.
Creating an Error Queue
Error queues are off by default. To create an error queue, simply post to your push queue a message with the error_queue option defined and a queue name provided.
{"push_type":"unicast", "subscribers": [ {"url": "http://thiswebsitewillthrowanerror.com"} ], "error_queue": "MY_EXAMPLE_ERROR_QUEUE"}
If a push queue is set with the error_queue parameter, then after the set number of retries, a message will be put in the named error queue and viewable via your account dashboard. By default the error queue will be a pull queue.
NOTE: An error queue will not appear in your dashboard until an initial error message is received.
The Error queue message will contain the following information:
You can look up the original message if needed via the GET message endpoint using the source_msg_id value.
To turn off/disable an error queue, just post to your push queue set the error queue option to an empty string e.g. "error_queue": "".
{"push_type":"unicast", "subscribers": [ {"url": "http://thiswebsitewillthrowanerror.com"} ], "error_queue": ""}
NOTE: Omitting the "error_queue" option does not disable the error queue. You need to send it an empty string.
Push Queues + Error Queues = Better Processing
Adding error queues is a great feature that we're happy to have invested in. Now, you'll never have to worry about trying to find a message that went AWOL as it'll be right in your error queue. Let us know what you think.
Update: No post on errors and queues would be complete without a video of a falling penguin. (It's better with the sound on.)

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Natalie Imbruglia
Born in Sydney, Australia on February 4, 1975, Natalie Imbruglia first studied dance as a teenager but she soon turned toward acting, appearing in commercials for Coca-Cola and Twisties before she turned 16. She landed her starring role on Neighbours in 1992 and she stayed with the show until 1994, after which she relocated to London with the intention of pursuing a singing career. RCA/BMG signed Imbruglia in 1996 and the label released "Torn" in 1997. An immediate hit in the U.K., where it peaked at two and sold over a million copies, the song soon turned into an international sensation, reaching the Top Ten throughout Europe and Australia; although it only reached 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., partially due to no CD single of it being released in the States, it earned steady airplay on adult contemporary and modern rock radio, staying on the charts for weeks. Over the years, "Torn" remained a radio staple throughout the globe, breaking records in Australia and the U.K. in particular. Driven by the success of "Torn," Imbruglia's full-length 1997 debut Left of the Middle was also a success, selling over six million copies worldwide and earning platinum certification in the U.K. and double platinum in the U.S. Subsequent singles pulled from the album weren't as popular as "Torn" -- none of them charted in the U.S. -- but "Big Mistake" reached the Top Ten in both the U.K. and Australia, while "Wishing I Was There" reached 19 and 24 in the U.K. and Australia, respectively.
Imbruglia returned with her second album, White Lilies Island, in November 2001. Supported by the singles "That Day" and "Wrong Impression," the album performed respectably in the U.K. and Australia -- both countries would certify it gold -- but it was a commercial disappointment in the U.S. Imbruglia recorded a third album for BMG in 2003 but the label didn't choose to release the record. She and BMG parted ways in 2004, and she signed with Brightside Recordings, who released Counting Down the Days in 2005. Its first single, "Shiver," went to number eight in the U.K., her biggest hit since Left of the Middle, and the album would be certified gold in Britain. A compilation called Glorious: The Singles 97-07 followed in 2007, and then she separated from Brightside, signing with Island for the 2009 album Come to Life. Containing contributions from Coldplay's Chris Martin, Brian Eno, and Daniel Johns, it was a splashy, ambitious affair but it didn't make waves in either Australia or the U.K. In 2010, Imbruglia joined the Australian version of The X Factor as a judge; she also appeared in the U.K. version in a guest capacity. A few film roles followed in the next few years, and then in 2014 she appeared in a production of the Alan Ayckbourn play Things We Do for Love. After a six-year hiatus, she returned to music with Male, a collection of covers by male singer/songwriters that marked her first album for Sony Masterworks. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

UTEP Rifle Shows Improvement Against #10 Air Force
Oct. 19, 2013
EL PASO, Texas - Every shooter made improvements across the board during an impressive showing for the UTEP rifle team in a 4652-4536 setback to visiting No. 10 Air Force at the Miners' Rifle Range Saturday. It marks the best aggregate score for the Miners since the 2011-12 season, a tremendous sign given the youth of the squad.
The effort easily surpasses the Orange and Blue's tally (4465) from the season-opening match against Nevada on Oct. 12.
Korina Rodriguez set the tone by posting the Miners' best scores in both the smallbore (567) and air rifle (583) for an aggregate of 1150. Her air rifle score ties as the fifth highest of her career.
Checking in close behind were freshmen Rachael Schohoenrock (561-580-1141) and Jessica Kinder (564-573-1137). Schohoenrock's score in the air rifle (580) tops her total of 574 against the Wolf Pack on Oct. 12. Kinder also made strides with her air rifle score jumping up 33 points (540 to 573).
Freshman Jasmine Juarez's hard work on the range this past week paid off, evidenced by her scores improving in both disciplines. She fired a 539 in the smallbore (523 Oct. 12) & a 569 in the air rifle (558 Oct. 12) to finish with a total of 1108 (1081 Oct. 12).
Jessica Rodriguez also surpassed 1100 in her aggregate (1105). She registered a 540 in the smallbore while compiling a personal-best sum of 565 in the air rifle.
Areli Oros made her 2013-14 debut by firing an aggregate of 1062 (517-545), the second-best score of her career. It trailed only the score of 1088 at the 2013 NCAA Qualifying event.
Monthserrat Serna was in action as well in the air rifle. She finished with a sum of 536, just four shy of her effort last week.
The Miners and the Falcons will face off again on Sunday. There is free admission to the match.

I humbly submit for your approval "I Will Survive" -- with my deepest apologies to Gloria Gaynor.
I Will Survive
( to the tune of "I Will Survive," by Gloria Gaynor)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never trade without my broker by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And so you're back, from Waikiki
I just walked in to find you here with that "Wise" look upon your face
I should have closed out my account
I should have made you pay your fees
If I'd known for just one second how you'd churn bad stocks for me
Go on now go, walk out the door
Don't turn around now
'Cause I don't need you anymore
Weren't you the "Wise" who tried to hurt me with dot-coms
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd sell and sell and buy
Oh no not I, I will survive
As long as I have discount brokers, I know I'll hold and buy
I've got my own portfolio
I've got Drips, the Fools, and more
It's buy and hold! Long term!
It took all the strength I had to become a Fool
Kept learning hard to mend the pieces of my portfolio
And I study more to be a Fool
Just feeling sorry for the "Wise." I buy and hold
And now my Foolish head is high!
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that trusting person just listening to you
And if you feel like calling me
Just expecting me to trade
Now I 'm saving all my learning for the Fools who have saved me
Go on now go!
