text: Hi there, My passengers are complaining from the 3rd row that they can not hear the music playing. I put the speakers to full rear and turn it up so they can hear it. Does anyone know if a LS model has the speaker wiring harness run to the rear hatch? I really don't want to tear out the trim molding to look. When I shine a light in the rear holes where a speaker would go, it is kind of hard too see if there's any wires in there or not. So far I can only find 4 speakers, 1 in each side door. Thanks in advance for any info.

HSBC Direct Promotional High Yield Savings Product Sign of Things to Come
comScore Networks has released the results of a study examining the share of the online High Yield Savings market among key players and the impact of recent rate changes on this marketplace. According to comScore, "the market for high yield savings accounts has become increasingly competitive during the past year, as evidenced by the emergence of new players and subsequent marketplace fragmentation. While ING Direct held a commanding share of new online savings account application submissions in Q4 2005 (53 percent), its share dropped to 25 percent during the same time period in 2006. Meanwhile, newer players like Citibank and Washington Mutual, which each held a negligible share of the market in Q4 2005, increased their share to 19 percent and 17 percent, respectively by Q4 2006."READ MORE »

18 June 2013 News in brief
Airbus Military's A400M airlifter has successfully demonstrated the release of decoy flares, marking a key development step for this new-generation aircraft's self-protection systems. The flares are designed to mislead heat-seeking anti-aircraft missiles, particularly surface-to-air missiles (SAM). They are a key element in the A400M's self-protection systems due to the airlifter's ability to operate from short and unpaved airstrips close to the scene of military action, where SAMS may be fielded by an enemy.

I was looking online for a payday loan. I'm a U.S. veteran on limited benifits, which has just ended. I was contacted by Cash Advane America stating that I was approved for a $5000 loan. I told the representative that $1000 word be an amount that I could handle. In addition to being on limited benefits, my rent is due and I was short $150.00. The representative (Joe/John) stated that I needed to send him $200 on the Vanilla Gift Card to get the loan processed and approved. Mind you, I'm using my rent money (which I explained) to hopfully put myself in a better position. I called the representative and confirmed that the gift card transaction had been accomplished. Minutes later, he called and said that my ssan had been flagged and he need another $250.00 which I didn't have.
We agreed that another $200.00 was needed to clear the problem. [continued below]....

Safari Trumps – Rules
Object of the game: to win all the cards in the pack.
Shuffle the cards well and deal out all the cards so that each player has as equal a number of cards as possible. Each player holds their cards in a pile face up. Each player only looks at the top card for each turn and is not allowed to change their order.
The shortest player starts by reading out the name of the animal on the top card of their pile then picking a data item to challenge the other players with. For example if the top card in Jim's pile is a Lion he might say "a Lion, it weights 180kg." The other players then read out their top cards so Anne might say "a Fish Eagle, it weights 3kg" and Toby might say "a Sable Antelope, it weights 230Kg." The player with the best or highest value (in this case Toby) wins and collects all the top cards played and places them with his own at the bottom of his pile. It is then the winners turn next (in this case Toby).
If two or more cards share the highest value, then all the top cards are placed in the middle and the original player plays again from their next card. The winner of that round collects all the cards in the middle as well as the ones from the new round.
The game ends when one player has collected all the cards and they are the winner.
The game can take a long time with the Classic pack so you might want to play with fewer cards each. In this case shuffle the pack well and deal out 10 cards each then play as normal.
In describing "Size" we have picked the most relevant measure (length or height) depending on the type of animal. If we had simply said height, then a Crocodile would have been described as being smaller than an Owl.

Go to the bus station and buy tickets on the 20:00 bus to Bangkok for tomorrow night. To e-mail and contact guest house in Bangkok to confirm telephone reservation and then buy some coach tickets Heathrow -> Gloucester -> Heathrow.
Do a bit of shopping with Jai for when she gets back from Bangkok. Jai wont ride the motorbike so wont be able to get into town easily in my absence.
Back to the house where I now have two sets of documents to check through; Jai's visa stuff and our travel stuff.
George pops in for the last of the books that he has not yet read to see him through my absence. Wont be changing any books in Chiangmai now but will be able to bring some back from England when I come.
Bike over to George & Wan's for Jai to collect 3 more completed mats that Wan has stitched for her.
Out to the farm to give the trees their penultimate drink. Again, with Jai not riding the bike she certainly wont be walking out to the farm every day to water the trees so they are going to be a bit thirsty.
As we are travelling to Bangkok at short notice I haven't had time to book a room on the internet so resort to phoning our usual guest house and asking them to reserve a room for us for a couple of nights which they don't seem to have a problem with. Perhaps they are glad of an y bookings at the moment ?
After we eat dinner we go and arrange for a lift into Phon Thong tomorrow night.
My last night in bed here for about 3 weeks. Have told Jai to go and 'borrow' her grand daughter to come and sleep with her in my absence.

Let's take a look at whose stock is rising and falling in the AFC East.
1. New England Patriots' tight-end depth: The Patriots lost dynamic Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski for the season after he broke his arm for a second time Sunday against the Houston Texans. The Patriots must adjust to life without Gronkowski, especially in the red zone. Gronkowski had 11 touchdown receptions in just 11 games this season. No other Patriot had more than six touchdown receptions. New England still has dynamic tight end Aaron Hernandez, but will have to rely on the inexperienced Michael Hoomanawanui to fill that second tight end role. Hoomanawanui is more of a blocking tight end who has just five catches receptions this season.
2. New York Jets' GM search: Does anyone want to run the Jets next season? It doesn't seem that way after New York's prolonged general manager search is approaching three weeks. Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com recently reported the Jets "can't give the position away" and are coming back to candidates who turned the team down earlier and asking them to reconsider. That is harsh. But it's understandable why New York's general manager position is not a desirable job. First, the team is well over the cap with old and overpaid players. Second, the Jets need to fix their extremely broken quarterback situation. Finally, the new general manager must work with Rex Ryan and cannot hire their own head coach. Add it up and you have a mess that apparently no top candidate wants to clean up.
3. Patriots kickoff coverage: New England had some rare mistakes last week in kick coverage. Houston had 230 kickoff return yards in the divisional round, which included a 94-yard return to start the game. The hidden yards and winning in the third phase made the final margin betwen the Patriots and Texans closer than it really was. New England head coach Bill Belichick defended his special teams this week and doesn't believe it will be an issue in the AFC title game against the Baltimore Ravens.
1. Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback: Brady became the all-time winningest quarterback in NFL playoff history with a win over the Texans. Brady threw for 344 yards, three touchdowns and improved to 17-6 in the postseason. Brady has a chance to advance to his sixth Super Bowl with a win next week against the Baltimore Ravens. With other elite quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers knocked out of the divisional round, New England has a significant advantage at quarterback among the final four teams.
2. Shane Vereen, Patriots tailback: I knew Vereen was a threat catching out of the backfield. But I didn't know Vereen was this dangerous. New England's second-year running back made some great catches in Sunday's playoff win over the Texans. Vereen finished with 83 receiving yards, 41 rushing yards and three total touchdowns. Vereen and fellow running back Stevan Ridley are coming of age together for New England in the postseason. That makes the Patriots even more dangerous.
3. Buffalo Bills defense: The Bills made some quality hires on defense to land former Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and former Jets defensive line coach Anthony Weaver. Both did a solid job in New York and will bring that experience to Buffalo. The Bills drastically underachieved on defense under Dave Wannstedt. Buffalo was 22nd in total defense and 31st against the run, despite having a defensive line that included Mario Williams, Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus. Pettine is known to get the most out of his players. Expect the Bills' hybrid 3-4 and 4-3 defense to improve in 2013.

Linux takes over Wall Street, but business concerns linger
I laughed when I read Network World's headline: "Wall Street Becoming Linux Stronghold." Is it 1999 or 2008, I wondered? Linux has long found a warm reception on Wall Street, where enterprises view IT as a source for competitive advantage. Network World cites one analyst's estimate that "Linux adoption among the 14 biggest investment firms this year will reach more than 72 percent of the installed operating server base vs. 60 percent in 2006."
That's big.
But the article goes beyond the "Wall Street uses a lot of Linux" argument and hones in on the next round of debate: Now that Wall Street has adopted Linux for technology benefits, are there licensing downsides?

A Noel Coward Classic Comes To Post Theater
As the movie "First Wives' Club" demonstrated, a first wife who has been "dumped" may be a source of irritation to a man when he decides to remarry. As the play Blithe Spirit demonstrates, the situation may become much more than a simple irritation if the first wife just happens to be deceased.
The play was originally written and produced in 1941.
After the ravages of World War II, the great playwright, Noel Coward, felt that the theater would be a good place for Brits to escape reality and created the plot of Blithe Spirit: As a means of obtaining first hand information concerning the occult for a book he is in the process of writing, the play's main character, writer Charles Condomine, invites a clairvoyant to his home to conduct a séance. This harmless little parlor game results in a very personal glimpse into the spiritual world for the unwitting writer and a hilariously haunting theatrical experience for audiences.
The Rockaway Theatre Company's production of Blithe Spirit is directed by Michael Wotypka and stars RTC audience favorite, Chazmond Peacock, as Charles Condomine. The very talented cast also features great RTC veteran actors including Susan Corning, Frank Freeman and Susan Hartenstein. Two excellent actresses, Reanna Flemmons and Yael Savitt, will make their debut performances in this production, while Luisa Boyaggi, who recently starred in Bye Bye Birdie, will be coming back.
As the final week of rehearsal began, the production staff appeared to be both excited and confident. As always, Mr. Tony Homsey and his amazing tech team have done an awesome job of constructing an English country house on the theater's stage. Costumier Matthew Smilardi has worked his magic providing the actors with smart and authentic period costumes. Jenna Tipaldo does an amazing job stage managing her first main stage production, as have Assistant Directors Alan Rosenthal and Leslie Ross. The RTC production opens at the Post Theater in Fort Tilden this Friday night, August 17 and runs for three consecutive weekends. Performances will take place on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. After 70 years, Noel Coward's wry British comedy is as blithe and spirited as when it first debuted in London. The early buzz is that the RTC has done it again and some performances have already sold out in advance reservations.
Call the RTC hotline, 718-374-6400 or go to www.rockawaytheatrecompany.org and reserve your tickets immediately. Failure to reserve your seat today will definitely come back to haunt you.

Ankara Museum
On this page... (hide)
The Ankara railway museum is located in several places around railway station ("Ankara Gar"). Visiting the museum takes you for the grand tour of the station itself! They are presented here in the order of visit. The starting point is the main station entrance of the station building.
Ankara Railway History museum
Access from the station: got to platform one, turn right walk to the next building, the entrance is on the right, at perpendicular angle from the tracks.
Opening hours and cost: the museum is open on weekdays, between 9h00 to 12h00 and 13h00 to 17h00. The entrance is free. Do not hesitate to ring or knock if closed has the guard may have went away a few minutes for a "çay" (Turkish language for teatime).
Collection: the museum building is the former station master house. Mustafa Kemal used this house after his arrival in Ankara in December 1919 until the spring of 1921 when in moved to Çankaya (to the Ordu Köşkü). The building was restored by TCDD and opened to the public as a museum on 24th December 1964. The upper floor, which is not open to the public, comprises a study, a meeting room and a bedroom with souvenirs from Atatürk (furniture, pictures, …)
The railway history museum occupies five rooms of the ground floor.
The Atatürk's Car
Access from the station: Atatürk's car is located along platform 1, behind the house of the Railway History museum. Simply walk along platform 1 on the Eskişehir side and you will not miss it.
This car was manufactured by Linke Hoffman / Breslau in 1935. It was used by Mustapha Kemal Atatürk until his death in 1938. Unfortunately only the outside of the car can be seen. The inside has all the facilities of a modern hotel suite: a bedroom, a desk, a bathroom. The car is equiped with special antenas in order to maintain constant telegraph communication.
The Railway Art museum
Access from the station: before entering the station main building; go to the building on the left side, ring at the door; Don't hesitate do ring again and wait.
Opening hours and cost: the museum is open on weekdays, between 9h00 to 12h00 and 13h00 to 17h00. The entrance is free. again, do not hesitate to ring or knock.
Collection: This museum is more about railway techniques. It displays a collection of training models and drawings to explains how it works (bakes, steam engines, …). This museum has also a collection of paintings.
The outdoor locomotive museum
This museum closed in March 2014 and is being transfered to a new location
From the station: you must cross all the tracks using the underground passageway (access from platform 1). Exit outside (staircase on the left), on the avenue running behind the station, walk straight 300m, you will see the engines on your left.
Opening hours and cost
Museum closed and engine moved
The hole in the fence that used to be the entrance in the past is now repaired. A guard is watching the door and he seems to be there during normal working hours. Entrance is free. As usual, this situation might change anytime and without notice.
All the engines have been repainted in year 2000 but the colors do not seem accurate to me. In particular, the frames are painted too red. With time and sun (not lacking in Turkey), the colors will revert to a more normal shade.

the patent is only useful in cases where the camera and home button are on the short edges. Most tablet manufacturers use the long edges, ie, landscape for the camera or any buttons.
but seriously. this is trolling at the most ridiculous. The US patent office really needs to look at its standards for granting patents. and then it really needs to look at the quality of the staff it employs. this is NOT good.

Visit the Kroc Center website
Since 1905, The Salvation Army has been doing the most good in Hampton Roads by serving those in the community and region in the most need. For the last six to seven years, work at The Salvation Army has been going on to bring a new level of Salvation Army programs and services to Hampton Roads, all to be housed at The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center.
The $80 million project for the 92,000 square foot education, creative arts and recreational building at the corners of Princess Anne Road and Ballentine Boulevard in Norfolk was a vision of Mrs. Joan Kroc, widow of McDonald's Corporation founder Ray Kroc.
In 2005, when The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command was approved to receive Kroc funds, local Army officials began working with local government officials, including City of Norfolk Vice Mayor Anthony Burfoot, to ensure that the Kroc Center complemented the goals the city held for the community.
"We give thanks for the Norfolk, Broad Creek, and surrounding Hampton Roads communities for faithfully supporting The Salvation Army and helping see this day come to fruition," said Captain Meredith. "This will be a place where people from all walks of life and backgrounds may come together on level ground, a place to bring family and friends, and a place where the mind, body and spirit will be built up."
The 370 seat chapel/theater the facility offers various productions and worship opportunities, and multiple classrooms and party rooms are available for rent by individuals and businesses in the community. A large gymnasium and fitness area offer various health and wellness programs to the community. The Kroc Center also features an aquatics area that includes a multiple story water slide, lazy river, zero-entry pool area and lap lanes.
Upon completion of the successful feasibility study in the spring of 2009 for a Kroc Center in Hampton Roads, The Salvation Army began assembling a campaign leadership team and seeking lead gifts. Through that process, Joshua P. Darden was named campaign chair and Frank Batten, Jr. was named honorary campaign chair, respectively. Each made a generous lead gift to the campaign.
"It was very important to Mrs. Kroc and to us that a lack of financial aid not stand in the way of anyone using this facility," Darden said. "We will have a sliding membership scale and scholarship opportunities as well so that the promise of doing the most good for those in the most need may still be fulfilled."
Working with local architects, Tymoff+Moss, The Salvation Army was able to assemble a team of local associates so that growth and opportunities from the construction of the $40 million facility benefiedt the local area.
The Kroc Center held its Weekend of Hope grand opening celebration from April 25-27, 2014 and officially opened its doors to the community on April 28, 2014.

One of the most frequently recurring justifications for densification policies (smart growth, growth management, livability, etc.) lies with the assumption that the automobile-based mobility system (Note 1) disadvantages lower income citizens. Much of the solution, according to advocates of densification is to discourage driving and orient both urbanization and the urban transportation system toward transit as well as walking and cycling. read more »

The Evolving Urban Form: Guangzhou-Foshan
The Pearl River Delta of China is home to the largest extent of continuous urbanization in the world. The Pearl River Delta has 55 million people in the jurisdictions of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhuhai and Macau. Moreover, the urban population is confined to barely 10 percent of the land area. These urban areas are the largest export engine of China and reflect the successful legacy of Deng Xiaoping's reforms which had their start with the special economic zone in Shenzhen and spread to the rest of the Delta and then much of the nation.
Adjacent Metropolitan Areas: However, the Pearl River Delta today is not a metropolitan area, as is often asserted. Instead it is rather a collection of adjacent metropolitan areas or labor markets (Figure 1). Metropolitan areas are not created by a large number of people living close to one another. Metropolitan areas are labor markets, crudely delineating the geography of the jobs-housing balance. read more »

The Driving Decline: Not a "Sea Change"
The latest figures from the United States Department of Transportation indicate that driving volumes remain depressed. In the 12 months ended in September 2011, driving was 1.1 percent below the same period five years ago. Since 2006, the year that employment peaked, driving has remained fairly steady, rising in two years (the peak was 2007) and falling in three years. At the same time, the population has grown by approximately four percent. As a result, the driving per household has fallen by approximately five percent. read more »

Mass Transit: Could Raising Fares Increase Ridership?
Conventional wisdom dictates that keeping transit fares as low as possible will promote high ridership levels. That isn't entirely incorrect. Holding all else constant, raising fares would have a negative impact on ridership. But allowing the market to set transit fares, when coupled with a number of key reforms could actually increase transit ridership, even if prices increase. In order to implement these reforms, we would need to purge from our minds the idea that public transit is a welfare service that ought to be virtually free in order to accommodate the poor. read more »

text: First-place Power wraps up homestand with walk-off win By Mike Whiteford August 4, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It was late Sunday afternoon, and the Power players and coaching staff faced an eight-hour bus ride that would deposit them in Salisbury, Md., at about 3 a.m.Not that lengthy bus rides are anything new in baseball, but they're a bit more challenging in August, especially for a collection of players feeling the late-season fatigue of a 140-game schedule for the first time.Sitting in his office, Power manager Mike Ryan didn't seem to be sweating it. His team's recent run of on-the-field attainment, he noted, should make the trip much more comfortable. "It might go by fast,'' he said with a smile. "We'll get to enjoy some movies. We'll stop and eat.''The division-leading Power picked up its seventh straight victory - and 13th in a row at home - on Sunday at Appalachian Power Park, scoring a gift run in the ninth to defeat the Lakewood BlueClaws 5-4.The victory was the Power's 21st in the last 27 games and moved the team two-and-a-half games ahead of second-place Hagerstown in the Sally League's Northern Division. Twenty-eight games remain in the regular season. Power third baseman Eric Wood, who delivered two hits and two RBIs Sunday, likewise didn't seem to fret the strain of a long season or the prospect of another bus ride. "Because we're winning,'' said Wood, "we're not really thinking about being tired and being fatigued. We just want to play for our teammates.''Added shortstop Max Moroff, "You're just rolling. You're not thinking about your body. You just keep thinking about winning and doing well. It's definitely tiring. You just have to take care of your body and do extra stretching and extra stuff like that to help you in the long run.'' After surviving a perilous top of the ninth, the Power loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning on Kawika Emsley-Pai's walk, Jonathan Schwind's sacrifice bunt, Moroff's walk and Walker Gourley's infield single to load the bases.Josh Bell then hit a hard grounder that BlueClaw shortstop Angelo Mora fielded cleanly near second and threw to second baseman Alejandro Villalobos. But in his haste, Villalobos dropped the ball, allowing Emsley-Pai to score and setting off a Power celebration near first base. Ryan thought Bell's grounder would be a double play that would end the inning and bring extra innings. "It wasn't that difficult of a play,'' said the Power manager. "I thought [Villalobos] tried to be too cute with it maybe, and he rushed that play.''In the top of the ninth, Power reliever Jhondaniel Medina walked the bases loaded with two outs but induced Villalobos to fly to left on a 3-2 pitch.The possibility of a division title and playoff berth, said Ryan, should help alleviate any fatigue in the season's final month. "It brings some adrenaline and different energy, knowing that these games mean something instead of being 25 or 30 games out,'' he said. "When these games mean something, you have to be on top of your game mentally and physically. You just have to trick yourself mentally into thinking you're not tired and battle through nine innings and do it again the next day.''POWER POINTS: The Power will open a three-game series in Delmarva tonight and visit Lakewood for a four-game series before returning to APP Aug. 13 to begin a seven-game home stand. ... The Power survived Sunday despite three errors and six walks. ... The Power is 28-14 in the second half and 65-47 overall. ... Jameson Taillon, who pitched for the Power in 2011, was promoted from AA Altoona to AAA Indianapolis on Friday. ... In its 13-game home winning streak, the Power has outscored the opposition 65-27. ... A paid crowd of 1,468 attended Sunday.Reach Mike Whiteford at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Angel Cats, a collection of stories compiled by Allen and Linda Anderson, tries to set itself apart from the admittedly bloated genre of sentimental feline-themed nonfiction books. It doesn't just have stories about people who love their cats, it has stories about people who love their cats and think said cats are messengers from the Divine (thankfully left ambiguous, so it includes all faiths), sent from a higher power to heal our spiritual woes. This notion permeates all of the stories, and takes their sentimentality to levels that can nauseate even ardent cat lovers.
The stories themselves vary in quality, as they came from different people with different backgrounds. Some of the stories are rather amateurish, but some of them are genuinely heartfelt. For example, one story deals with a woman who had to flee Hungary during World War 2, and managed to smuggle out her cat, who remained a constant source of love and companionship in a profoundly dangerous time. Another has bereaved parents adopt their dead son's cat, and feel comfort at seeing some of his personality traits live on in the animal. It's unfortunate that many of the stories deal with more pedestrian lives, which don't allow for them to say much more about the cats than fawning over their unique quirks (which are too often just bluntly told to the audience, as opposed to being shown via exceptional writing)
The biggest problem with the book, however, is the presentation. The Andersons are very committed to the idea that cats are messengers of the divine, and make sure to hammer this notion into their readers at every available opportunity. Every story ends with a "Meditation" that asks the reader how they've been affected similarly, or how a cat has shown them loyalty, selflessness, kindness, etc. The sections of the book are prefaced with questions and answers from the Andersons' cats, which are written in as cutesy and cloying a fashion as possible. The word "sugary" does not begin to describe the overall tone.
Then again, if you're buying a book called "Angel Cats: Divine Messengers of Comfort", you're probably expecting sentimentality. You will receive that from this book. However, you won't receive much else, excluding a few stand-out stories.

Jude Law plays the eponymous larger-than-life safecracker in black comedy Dom Hemingway. Back on the streets of London after 12 years in prison, he's eager to collect what he's owed for keeping his mouth shut. But things take a turn when he and his partner (Richard E Grant) set off to visit his boss (Demian Bichir) in the south of France. Emilia Clarke also stars in the film that's from The Matador writer-director Richard Shepard. Lionsgate UK is releasing November 15th in Britain and Fox Searchlight has North America where it will release next year. Jeremy Thomas produced through Recorded Picture Company.

Dear Producers,
When you put "From the Producers of…" that is the most obnoxious, self-serving statement imaginable. You're a producer — You're not a creative person. If you want people to fawn over you, write or direct or act in a movie. You serve an important role, but it's incredibly arrogant to think that anyone is going to see your movie because you produced SEXY BEAST. It's a good movie, but one that less than 1% of even the Western world has heard of. Get a clue, and shape up.
ODF, spot on!
pretty inflammatory statement claiming no producers are creative.
– a writer
wow, you have no idea what a producer does, do you?
You're confusing producers with studio execs
Hey odf,
There is a reason why producers are the ones to accept the Best Picture Award. Who do you think has the original vision and is in charge of bringing all the "creative" elements together?? Let alone they are usually the ones that craft the original premise and work with writers to develop the story. Now if the trailer said, "From the studio that brought you"… or "From the EXECUTIVE producers…", I would share your sentiment.
Also, get your facts straight. Sexy beast did 50% better domestically than internationally. And yes, I know it was a british movie, but domestically does in fact mean American in this circumstance.
1. You don't know what producers do.
2. I doubt that the producer had any say in how Lionsgate chose to advertise the film. Distributors are responsible for marketing, not producers.
Looks damn good
I love Richard E. Grant! He makes everything heÄs in soo soo much better
Love Jude Law ! This look great. Can't wait to see it!

Three to four years of treatment with bisphosphonates to boost bone density is not linked to a lowered risk of invasive postmenopausal breast cancer, concludes an analysis* of data published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Some studies have suggested that bisphosphonates, which are commonly used to treat osteoporosis, may curb the risk of tumour growth and spread, while some observational studies have suggested bisphosphonates may protect women from breast cancer.
The researchers analysed the relationship between postmenopausal breast cancer and bisphosphonate use by looking at data from two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
The Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT) randomly assigned 6,459 women aged 55 to 81 to alendronate or placebo, with an average follow-up of 3.8 years.
The Health Outcomes and Reduced Incidence with Zoledronic Acid Once Yearly-Pivotal Fracture Trial (HORIZON-PFT) randomly assigned 7,765 women aged 65 to 89 to annual intravenous zoledronic acid or placebo for an average follow-up of 2.8 years.
There was no significant difference in breast cancer rates between the bisphosphonate and placebo groups. In FIT, the breast cancer rate was 1.5% in the placebo group and 1.8% in the alendronate group.
In HORIZON-PFT the rate was 0.8% in the placebo group and 0.9% in the zoledronic acid group. There also was no significant difference when data from the two trials were combined.
"The discrepancy between our results and the reports of associations in observational studies may be an example of indication bias, and illustrates the limitation and hazard of drawing conclusions about treatment effects from observational studies (even those that are very well done) and emphasises the value of confirming such associations in randomised trials," write the researchers.
And they go on to suggest that the effect of bisphosphonate treatment on breast cancer risk in women who don't have osteoporosis should be investigated in other randomised trials.
In a related editor's note**, Dr Joseph Ross, associate editor of the journal, writes: "Whereas these findings highlight why it is so important for new therapies to be evaluated using randomised clinical trials, they also reinforce the importance of assessing the methodological rigor of observational studies before interpreting real-world effects."
He continues: "Just as we closely scrutinise RCT design, so must we understand the quality and statistical power of the data used for observational studies, how participants were identified, the duration of follow-up, the end points examined, and the analytical strategy used. Observational studies are particularly valuable for clinical situations unlikely to be tested using RCTs, and many provide valid and reliable real-world evidence."

Nema, Mauritania | With France planning to start withdrawing its troops from Mali next month, Western and African officials are increasingly concerned that the African soldiers who will be relied on to continue the campaign against militants linked to al-Qaeda do not have the training or equipment for the job.
The heaviest fighting so far, which has driven the militants out of the towns and cities of north-eastern Mali, has been borne by French and Chadian forces, more or less alone.
Those forces are now conducting mostly patrols in the north while troops sent by Mali's other regional allies, including Nigeria and Senegal, were slow to arrive and focused on peacekeeping rather than combat, prompting grumbles from Chad's President Idriss Deby Itno.
The outcome of the fighting in Mali carries major implications not only for France but also for the Obama administration in the United States, which is worried that al-Qaeda and other militant groups could retain a smaller but enduring haven in remote mountain redoubts in the Malian desert.
To help the French, the US began flying unarmed surveillance drones over the region last month from a new base in Niger. And the US administration has spent more than $550 million over the past four years to help train and equip West African armies to fight militants so that the Pentagon would not have to.
But critics contend that the US seems to have little to show for that effort.
Turning Mali's own fractured army into a cohesive and effective force would entail a huge amount of work, according to Brig. Gen. Francois Lecointre of France, who is leading the effort to retrain Mali's army. As if to underscore the point, a group of Malian troops briefly abandoned their posts recently and fired shots in the air to demand a deployment bonus.
Here in the south-eastern corner of Mauritania, about 160 kilometres from the border with Mali, an exercise conducted this month by the US military to train African armies to foil ambushes, raid militant hideouts and win over local populations offered the administration more reasons for worry, as well as some encouraging signs.
The exercise offered a rare glimpse into the strengths and weaknesses of several of the African armies that are poised to help take over the mission in Mali. In a few weeks, the UN Security Council is expected to decide whether to authorise a peacekeeping force for Mali and how to compose it.
"It's possible these troops would go to Mali," said Lieutenant-Colonel M. Dieye of Senegal, commander of a platoon of special forces soldiers who took part. His nation – like Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso and Nigeria – joined the exercise and have sent troops to Mali.
"Now we've worked together with other African troops, like we would in Mali," he said.
The French-led operation in Mali has killed scores of militants and destroyed many weapons caches. France has said it will not withdraw until the threat from the militants is vastly diminished. Even so, some Western officials say the African troops in Mali will be up against guerrilla fighters with far more experience in desert warfare than they have.
"No amount of exercises or training in the next couple of weeks or months can, in itself, prepare African forces for their new role in Mali," said Benjamin Nickels, a counter-terrorism specialist at the National Defence University's Africa Centre for Strategic Studies in Washington.
An ongoing commitment would be required.
France has already delayed its withdrawal by at least a month, amid fierce fighting against a major militant stronghold.
The French had some 1200 soldiers in that battle, along with 800 troops from Chad. They have been focusing their efforts on a 25 kilometre zone in the Adrar des Ifoghas, barren mountains near Mali's border with Algeria.
The French are likely to maintain a small counterterrorism force in Mali after withdrawing most of their 4000 troops from the country, diplomats say. The bulk of the peacekeeping duties will shift to African troops, with the growing likelihood that they will operate under a U.N. mandate.
But in a sign that Western officials are worried about whether the Africans will be up to the task, some diplomats are suggesting that the UN approve a heavily armed rapid-response force of up to 10,000 troops to ward off any resurgent Islamist threat in Mali. Chad, which has 2200 soldiers in Mali and decades of experience in desert warfare, would probably supply the core of any peacekeeping mission.

I shoulda posted this earlier, but here it is now.
Hello from Michigan's 2nd biggest city (not sayin a whole lot with that I guess :smile: ).
Former ammo-humper for Sam's flyboys.
Been out of shooting for about 12 years or so. Now the freshly single dad of 5 girls, so I decided it's time to get back into one of my favorite activities. The ex took up with the wrong crowd so I thought it was as good a time as any to look into this concealed carry thing that's become much easier here.
Took my CPL class in Feb. Put in my application 2 weeks ago, so I'm looking at having my visit with the gun board next month.
Joined USPSA and IDPA. We have both at a big local club. Looking forward to both.
Big fan of S&W, especially the 3rd-gen autos. Have owned a 1911 in the past and liked it also. Picking up my first revolver this Friday, a 642.
I've spent the last few months lurking here and gaining a lot of knowledge. This place is excellent.
Thanks much,

Upcoming Schedule
Fri-Sun., May 16-18 -- at Big Ten Conference Outdoor Championships (Minneapolis, Minn.)
Fri-Sat., May 30-31 -- at NCAA Mideast Regional Championships (Columbus, Ohio)
This Week: Big Ten Championships ...
The University of Michigan women's track and field team looks to complete the Big Ten Conference triple crown this Friday through Sunday (May 16-18) in Minneapolis, Minn., as the Golden Gophers of Minnesota play host to the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Michigan's defense of its 2002 outdoor team crown begins at 12:15 p.m. CDT Friday afternoon, as the weekend's first action begins with the heptathlon 100-meter hurdles. Saturday's action gets under way at 10:15 a.m. with the heptathlon long jump, while trials of the 4x100-meter relay begin at 2:10 p.m. The triple jump opens the final day of competition at 11:40 a.m., followed shortly by the finals of 4x100-meter relay at 12:45 p.m.
U-M has achieved the triple crown only once in its 26-year history. During the 1993-94 school year the Wolverines claimed team titles in cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field.
Last Year in Madison ...
The Wolverines won their second Big Ten title of the 2002 season as they completed the season sweep of conference hardware for the third time in the last nine years. With 109 points at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships (5/17-19/02) in Madison, Wis., Michigan won its first outdoor title since 1998. The Maize and Blue earned event titles by four athletes as three came on the track and one in the field. Tri-captains Katie Jazwinski and April Phillips (Fraser, Mich./Fraser HS) led U-M with a pair of 18-point performances as each Wolverine posted an event victory and runner-up showing.
Michigan made its move on the final day of competition as the Wolverines earned 39 points in a 10-minute span with wins in the 800-meter run and 400-meter hurdles. Rachel Sturtz (Traverse City, Mich./Traverse City HS) defended her Big Ten 800-meter crown as she led four Maize and Blue runners in the event by winning the race with a personal-best, NCAA provisional qualifying and Big Ten Outdoor meet time of 2:07.45. Vera Simms (Mililani, Hawaii/Mililani HS) took the title in the 400-meter hurdles, setting a new school record with a time of 58.50, for the first conference crown of her career.
After leading his team to its second Big Ten team title of 2002, head coach James Henry was named Big Ten Outdoor Coach of the Year for the third time in his 18-year career.
Michigan at the Big Ten Outdoors ...
The Wolverines have won the outdoor team title four times in the program's 21 years of Big Ten Conference outdoor competition. Michigan's four conference titles came in 1993, '94, '98 and 2002. U-M's 179 total points in 1994 rank as the most points ever scored by a Big Ten program. The Maize and Blue also produced three second-place finishes in 1982, 1983 and 1997. The Wolverines have had two athletes named Athlete of the Championship as Richelle Webb (1991-94) won the award in 1994 and Tania Longe (1995-98) earned the honor in 1998. Head coach James Henry has been named Big Ten Conference Outdoor Coach of the Year on three occasions, in 1994, '98 and following his team's championship last year.
The Wolverines' four conference outdoor titles tie them with Illinois for second most wins by a program in league history. Wisconsin leads all Big Ten teams with 13 conference team titles.
Hail to the Victors Valiant ...
With its 2003 Big Ten indoor title, coupled with the conference crown at the 2002 cross country championships, Michigan has achieved two-thirds of a proper triple crown. Michigan only needs to defend its Big Ten outdoor title at this week's conference championships in Minneapolis, Minn., to earn the triple crown for the 2002-03 academic year. U-M achieved the triple crown in 1993-94 with all three titles in the same academic year. The only other school to achieve this feat is Wisconsin, which has done so four times, most recently in 1996-97. As it stands now, Michigan has won the last four combined Big Ten titles in track and field and cross country.
Michigan's Top 10 in the Conference ...
The Wolverines enter the 2003 Big Ten Outdoor Championships with 31 top 10 times/distances in the league, including five athletes who will travel to Minneapolis, Minn., as the top seed in their respective events. April Phillips earned the top spot in both the hammer throw (199-3) and shot put (53-11), Lindsey Gallo (Freehold, N.J./Howell HS) in the 1,500-meter run (4:16.35), Rebecca Walter (Beverly Hills, Mich./Groves) in the 5,000-meter run (16:18.29), Vera Simms in the 400-meter hurdles (58.43) and Stephanie Linz (Okemos, Mich./Okemos HS) in the high jump (5-9 3/4).

Recapping Last Weekend ...
The Wolverines hosted their lone home meet of the outdoor season last weekend and the home team did not disappoint its fans, posting 16 NCAA Regional qualifying marks, winning nine events, breaking two Ferry Field records and setting one U-M record during the two-day Len Paddock Invitational (May 9-10).
Senior tri-captain April Phillips lead the way as she reset the Michigan mark in the hammer throw as she sent the anvil 199-3 feet away from the circle for the event title. Phillips' throw also broke the Ferry Field mark for the event. Junior Melissa Bickett (Akron, Ohio/Revere HS) set a Ferry Field mark of her own, tossing the discus a season-best 178-1 for a first-place finish.
On the track sophomore Sierra Hauser-Price (Van Nuys, Calif./Notre Dame HS) earned three event victories, winning the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as well as anchoring the victorious 4x100-meter dash. In each of Hauser-Price's victories she clocked in with an NCAA Regional qualifying time.
Drop the Hammer ...
In the final home meet of her career, senior tri-captain April Phillips reset her hammer throw school record for the second consecutive week as she chucked the ball and chain a personal-best 199-3 to win the Len Paddock Invitational (May 9). Phillips' mark also shattered the Ferry Field record of 192-7 set by Ohio State's Katy Craig in 2002. Phillips' record throw bettered her week-old previous best by four and a half feet. Two weeks ago at the Jesse Owens Classic, the 2002 Big Ten runner-up in the event marked a then school-record 194-9.
Ball Go Far ...
Following her school-record heave of 199-3 in the hammer throw last Friday (May 9) at the Len Paddock Invitational, April Phillips now holds the longest throw in both the Big Ten and NCAA's Mideast Region. She surpassed Katie Johnson of Penn State as the conference leader, bettering the Nittany Lion's throw of 197-3. Regionally Phillip's mark bettered Mallory McDonald of Louisiana State, who previously held the top spot at 197-4.
I Go Around and Around and Around ...
Following her record-breaking performance of 199-3 in the hammer throw, April Phillips has now reset four Michigan throwing records during the 2003 season. Three weeks ago at the Drake Relays (April 26), Phillips reset the outdoor shot put record with a winning throw of 53-11. During the indoor season, she set the school mark in the shot put at 55-0 while at the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 15). She also etched her name in the Michigan record book with a heave of 63-1 1/4 in the weight throw at the Sykes-Sabok Challenge Cup (Feb. 15).

I Love Goooooooooold ...
Senior tri-captain Rachel Sturtz enters the 2003 Big Ten Outdoor Championships as the winningest 800-meter runner in Michigan history. She has won four Big Ten 800-meter crowns during three and a half years of competition, as she has won twice indoors and twice outdoors. Sturtz has won the two most recent 800-meter titles, with wins at the 2002 outdoor and 2003 indoor championships. If Sturtz is victorious this year, she will become only the third Wolverine in Michigan history to win five or more Big Ten individual titles.
Tania Longe (1995-98) boasts the most conference crowns by a Wolverine with seven, followed Katie (Clifford) Jazwinski (1999-2002), the 2002 Michigan Female Athlete of the Year, who won five. Sturtz is currently tied with Nicole Forrester (1996-99), Molly McClimon (1990, '93-94) and Mindy Rowand (1988-90) for third place in Michigan history as each athlete has won four league titles since Big Ten women's competition began in 1982. Debbie Williams (1979-82) won the javelin four straight years, however, three wins came prior to 1982.
UF-Ohh That's Long ...
Melissa Bickett, the school record holder in the discus, posted a Ferry Field record toss of 178-1 last Friday (May 9) at the Len Paddock Invitational. Bickett's season-best performance in the event bettered the field mark by nearly six feet. Ohio State's Krista Keir previously held the record with a distance of 172-2 set at the 2002 Paddock Invitational.
Break It Down ...
As of the 2003 outdoor season, four regional meets will now be held to determine the participants for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Michigan is in the Mideast Region and will compete in its regional May 30-31 at the Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. In order for an athlete to automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships, she must finish in the top five of an individual event or be a member of a top three relay at the regional championship. The track and field committee will also select a group of at-large athletes to round out the remainder of the Championships field in each event, similar to provisional-qualifying marks in the past.
Big Ten Indoor Champs ...
With their most points (129.5) since winning the Big Ten Indoor Championships in 1998 (133), the Wolverines defended their Big Ten team title with a 14.5-point victory over meet host Indiana in the Hoosiers' Gladstein Fieldhouse (March 1-2). It marked the Wolverines' third straight track and field team championship (2002 indoor and outdoor) and fourth consecutive running team title (2002 cross country). Leading the way for the Maize and Blue were Big Ten individual champions April Phillips, Rachel Sturtz and Katie Erdman (Cadillac, Mich./Cadillac HS).
Phillips, one of three Michigan captains, got things started for the Wolverines with her first career Big Ten indoor shot put title, with an NCAA provisional mark of 54-2 on Saturday. In Sunday's action, U-M received its second individual title when Sturtz, another tri-captain, ran a Big Ten Championships and school-record time of 2:06.02 for the second indoor 800-meter title of her career. Erdman, the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the year, gave the Wolverines their third event crown, crossing the finish line of the 600-meter run in 1:30.54. During prelims of the event on Saturday, Erdman set the 600-meter school record, clocking in at 1:30.33.
Earning All-Big Ten second team honors with runner-up performances were Stephanie Linz, high jump; Vera Simms, 400-meter dash; Rebecca Walter, 5,000-meter run; and the distance medley relay team of Andrea Parker (Livonia, Mich./Stevenson HS), Keri Kirk (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron HS), Sturtz and Chelsea Loomis (Traverse City, Mich./West HS).
Looking Ahead ...
The Wolverines have a week off before several Maize and Blue athletes travel to Columbus, Ohio, Friday and Saturday (May 30-31) for the first-ever NCAA Mideast Regional Championships. Each day's action begin at noon, with Friday's action getting under way with the javelin, while Saturday's competition is scheduled to begin with the hammer throw.

Accessing partitions on dual-boot systems
Why reboot every time you need to access data on the other side of your dual boot system? We'll introduce you to Captive NTFS – a free tool for reaching Windows NTFS partitions from Linux. We'll also show you some handy tools for reading Linux partitions from Windows.
As the Windows NTFS filesystem becomes more popular, users of Windows/ Linux dual-boot computers are increasingly confronted with a major problem: Linux is incapable of writing to NTFS [1] partitions. The Linux kernel has a module for binding the NTFS partitions, however, even its developers advise users against attempting write operations using the kernel module. The antiquated FAT filesystem was once the only free way for sharing data between the Linux side and the Windows side of a dualboot PC. However, Jan "Lace" Kratochvil has introduced the free tool Captive NTFS [2], a utility that supports Linux write access to NTFS partitions. Jan Kratochvil is the author of several other useful applications for Linux, including Surprise, a tool for resizing partitions [3]. The latest version of Captive NTFS (version 1.1.5) was released at the beginning of this year and drew the attention of a larger audience due to its use with Knoppix version 3.4 and other Knoppix-based systems, such as LinuxDefender Live! By Bit-Defender.

It's not often that we get to appreciate the fantastic complexity of satellites. They're built, they're launched, and then they're out of sight. In these pictures by photographer Greg White, however, we get to see that complexity up close, not in the form of completed crafts but rather as a series of glimpses into the process of their construction. What you're seeing here is the birth of a cutting-edge spacecraft, and it looks every bit as cutting edge as you'd hope.
The shoot was commissioned by Audi Magazine for a feature about the British space industry, a project that took White to Astrium Ltd. and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, two satellite components makers in southern England. It's fun to imagine that these sort of places would be strange and spare and futuristic, like scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It turns out that's not entirely inaccurate.
White's shots are filled with massive machines, intricate wiring, and all sorts of space-age apparatuses. It's often hard to get a sense of what, exactly, it is you're looking it–and that's very much the point. White says he deliberately keeps the framing tight, "not showing too much, to keep an inquisitive view of a machine or area." For these sorts of shoots, White relies on a large format camera, an equipment choice that "slows down the process of capturing the images" and "makes you think more about what to shoot and how to do it," he explains.
All the environments where the satellite components are manufactured and assembled are clean rooms. That means airlock doors, sophisticated filtration systems, and a uniform of overcoats, shoe-covers, hair nets, and even beard nets when necessary. It all amounts to a sterile, sci-fi tableau–one perfectly suited for taking photographs. "Apart from having to wear a hairnet, it was a pleasure to be in there with nice even light and constant temperatures," White says.
In short, they're sites that are every bit as photogenic as their job description would suggest. "I love shooting in factories," White says. "Most of the newer ones seem to be made for pictures."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The 2012 "Official" Presidential Debates
would have looked like this:
Two parties dominate your elections because THEY control the rules for participation in the "official" debates
Governor Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein obtained their ballot access the hard way - via petitions in states across the country. They were the only two candidates beside the Democrat and Republican who appeared on enough state ballots to get elected as the President of the United States by the Electoral College. Yet, both Johnson & Stein were excluded from the "official" televised presidential debates.
If this frustrates you, you're not alone
The CPD lost three sponsors in 2012 due to their bipartisan-exclusive-to-democrats-and-republicans- political-theater.
And recently, a 2014 Gallup poll found that Americans are fed up with the two major parties.
"A majority of U.S. adults, 58%, say a third U.S. political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic parties 'do such a poor job' representing the American people." - Jeffrey M. Jones
Join the fight to save the debates.
Our future depends on it.
IF ALL qualified presidential candidates were welcome to participate...
So, why did only TWO of these FOUR electable candidates appear on the debate stage?

Most Americans have no idea that the official-sounding and acting CPD is a private organization created by the Republican and Democratic Parties. But now YOU KNOW. So get involved. With polls showing that "independent" voters now constitute a majority of the American electorate, this duopoly simply isn't fair -- and must be changed.
Sign the petition to demand that one straightforward, common sense change be made in the rules for future presidential debates: Rather than picking and choosing polls to decide who can participate (polls that will always favor the Democratic and Republican candidates), simply allow participation by any candidate who has qualified for enough states' presidential ballots to have a mathematical chance of being elected.

Well, the most bizarre thing happened...
The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has a rule that candidates must average 15% in popular polls. The catch is that it is virtually impossible for any candidate without the free publicity and exposure provided by the two major parties, the media and, of course, nationally-televised debates, to reach 15%. It's a classic "Catch 22". Even with his millions of personal wealth, the last third party candidate to appear in a CPD-sponsored debate, Ross Perot, would not have qualified under the 15% rule. Ironically, after he DID appear, polls showed a majority of Americans believed Perot won the debates.
The official-sounding and acting Commission on Presidential Debates is, in reality, a private organization created by the Republican and Democratic parties and funded by special interests whose goal is to protect the status quo. Thus, it is no surprise that the Debate Commission has adopted "rules" that make it virtually impossible for an independent or third-party candidate to ever participate in the all-important Presidential Debates.

Where I stayed
The Sedlec Ossuary is a church that is decorated with 40 thousand human bones including a chandelier that has at least one of every bone in the human body in it. There were strings of skulls and bones on the walls and the roof. There is also a family crest made out of the bones. It was quite creepy but really interesting to see at the same time.
Had some ice cream while heading towards town, the summer sun is deffinatley starting to shine now! I got a little lost and made it to the edge of old town just as it was time to head back to the station to catch my train back to Prague. I guess this way it is another reason to go back.
Once back in Prague I spent some time wandering around and checking out the market stalls. Last time I was here I bought a stein for someone else and always wished I had one too, so time to remedy that!
I decided to take a break from the pork and dumplings and went to a Thai restaurant for supper. So yummy, and it was nice to have some food with a bit of a kick again. After dinner I headed back to the hostel and just had a quiet night.

Recently Opened: Photo Op
A new family photo studio opens on the Upper West Side.
Wed Feb 16 2011
Kids pose for a shoot at Photo Op.
Nathan Gindi, a Manhattan father of three, considers himself an amateur photographer, but he can also appreciate the value of a professional. That's why he's teamed up with famed shutterburg Brian Marcus to open PhotoOp, an innovative children's studio on the Upper West Side.
Upon entering, youngsters can pick out fun outfits to wear—clothes and accessories from CrewCuts, Zara Kids and H&M Kids are there for the borrowing—and do last-minute primping at the vanity station.
