Discover the excitement of driving F‑PACE, with agile handling and technologically advanced engines that deliver performance and efficiency.
Discover the excitement of driving F‑PACE, with agile handling and technologically advanced engines that deliver performance and efficiency.
F‑PACE is brought to life through the power of its engines combined with Jaguar's Lightweight Aluminium Architecture and advanced dynamic performance technologies. Together they deliver thrilling performance and impressive fuel economy.
With All Wheel Drive, F-PACE always feels and handles like a Jaguar.
F‑PACE offers a choice of refined, efficient diesel or petrol engines, including our new Ingenium diesel range. All deliver a dynamic driving experience and responsive Jaguar performance. F‑PACE's engines are equipped with Stop/Start technology and smart regenerative charging – harvesting kinetic energy from braking to charge the battery - for maximum economy, especially during urban driving.
F‑PACE's 2.0 litre 4 cylinder 132kW Turbocharged Diesel engine comes from our Ingenium range. Ingenium is Jaguar Land Rover's a new breed of engine designed for effortless performance, refinement and efficiency. With advanced technology and all-aluminium construction Ingenium delivers impressive fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Typically, 20kg lighter than equivalent previous generation engines, Ingenium is intrinsically more efficient. And intelligent too – computer controlled, adaptive engine cooling only engages as required.
The powerful 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine increases power to 221kW and an impressive 700Nm of torque for immediate performance and excellent drivability.
F‑PACE's petrol engines offer power and responsiveness, while improving efficiency. Shared with F‑TYPE, the 3.0 litre V6 Supercharged Petrol engine is available in both 250kW and 280kW versions. At 280kW the engine is capable of 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds. These all-aluminium engines deliver instant access to high levels of performance and torque at all engine speeds, as well as a unique soundtrack.
Design and build your perfect F‑PACE to ensure that your car specifically caters to your lifestyle. You can select your model, choose your engine and browse through our range of colours, wheels and more.
Jaguar's All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) is a low speed cruise control that helps you to maintain optimum handling in low traction situations. On All Wheel Drive vehicles fitted with Adaptive Dynamics, optional Adaptive Surface Response (ASR) recognises differences between surfaces to exploit available grip by adjusting engine and brake settings.
The unique JaguarDrive Control system offers quicker shifts and sportier kickdown in Dynamic Mode, and earlier up-shifts in Eco Mode to improve efficiency while the Rain Ice Snow Mode switches to more gentle progress in low grip conditions. It allows you to choose between exploiting F‑PACE's full dynamic performance and maximising its fuel economy.
Torque Vectoring technology provides controlled independent braking on the individual inside front and rear wheels to maximise capability through even the tightest corners, reducing understeer and delivering sports car-like agility and added driver confidence.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) offers outstanding feedback and control. It is active on demand – saving power for where you really need it, as well as saving fuel. EPA's sophisticated computer management varies steering assistance as appropriate – increasing assistance for low speed manoeuvring and improving feel at higher speeds.
Adaptive Dynamics responds to match the conditions and your driving style. Steering and body movement are analysed up to 500 times a second. Electronically controlled dampers then constantly adjust to optimise the suspension settings and maintain F‑PACE's dynamism and comfort.
Bringing technology from F‑TYPE, the optional Configurable Dynamics system allows you to set up F‑PACE's dynamics for throttle mapping, gearbox shift points and steering to suit your performance driving needs. When optional Adaptive Dynamics is fitted, you can make your setting even more personal by configuring the damper settings.
F‑PACE's chassis and suspension system offers a unique balance between agility and ride comfort.
F‑PACE's Lightweight Aluminium Architecture is stiff and strong, offering excellent protection to all occupants, while its reduced weight boosts efficiency and enhances handling and braking. F-PACE is among the lightest cars in its class offering a weight distribution with a near perfect 50:50 balance for a sporting performance and an impeccable ride.
F‑PACE's automatic transmission is highly responsive, smooth and efficient. Developed specifically for the demands of a performance SUV, it delivers rapid shifting for effortless acceleration and overtaking. You can also manually control gearshifts via the steering wheel paddles at the touch of a finger.
F‑PACE is the performance SUV that combines driving exhilaration with practicality and efficiency. Create your perfect F‑PACE with our configurator.

Southampton chasing £8m deal for Pablo Osvaldo
SOUTHAMPTON have launched a new bid to land Roma's Italian international striker Pablo Osvaldo in an £8m deal.
"Now they are in fresh negotiations with the striker in a bid to thrash out a deal"
Roma rejected the club's first bid and the 26-yearold was unhappy with the personal terms on offer.
But now they are in fresh negotiations with the striker in a bid to thrash out a deal.
Wolfsburg and Fulham are also keen but Saints are confident Osvaldo will be in the squad to face West Brom on Saturday.

SESSION TITLE: Infectious Disease Global Case Reports
SESSION TYPE: Global Case Report
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Diffuse parenchymal lung disease is commonly encountered in pulmonary medicine practice. Multiple etiological factors need to be considered. One such intersting case is presented.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 35 years old farmer presented with a history of fever, breathlessness, headache and cough since 25 days. His symptoms developed four days after descending into an abandoned well that was to be cleaned. They were gradually progressive in nature. There was no history of chest pain or hemoptysis. He was a non-smoker; there were no addictions except occasional tobacco chewing. He had been administered anti-TB treatment by his local healthcare provider. There was no clinical or radiological improvement following which he was referred to this center. On physical examination, he was conscious and oriented. His pulse rate was 100/min, respiratory rate was 36/min and abdomino-thoracic, BP was 140/90 mmHg. Respiratory system examination showed tachypnea, and fine inspiratory crackles bilaterally The cardiovascular and abdomen examination was normal. Further investigations revealed Hb 15.9 g%, TLC 14000/cu mm, DLC P67 L30 M1 E2, ESR 18, platelets 2,68.000/cu mm, urinalysis was normal, HIV ELISA was negative; urea 29 mg/dL, creatinine 0.8 mg/dL Na 135 meq/L, K 5.1 meq/L, bilirubin 0.9 mg/dL, SGOT 45, SGPT 62, alkaline phosphatase 72, protein 7.1 g/dL, albumin 3.5 g/dL, and globulin 3.6 g/dL . Arterial bood gas analysis (on FiO2 0.21) was PaO2 60.8 mmHg, PaCO2 mmHg, pH 7.434, HCO3a 19.9 meq/L, HCO3s 22.8 meq/L, SaO2 92.4 %. The chest X-ray and CT thorax were suggestive of military nodules distributed diffusely, bilaterally. A diagnostic bronchoscopy procedure was performed. Bronchial washings revealed no pus cells, no organisms; aerobic culture was sterile; no AFB was seen; smear examination revealed benign epithelial cells. CSF examination was within normal limits. Serum sample for Cryptococcus antigen was negative. Trans-bronchial lung biopsy revealed pulmonary cryptococcosis. Final Diagnosis Isolated pulmonary cryptococcosis with acute lung injury He was treated with Inj Amphotericin B 0.7mg/kg/day IV for 4 weeks. This was followed by fluconazole 400 mg/day. Oxygen therapy and supportive care were provided.The patient recovered completely. His follow up spirometry and arterial blood gas analysis were within normal limits.
DISCUSSION: Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeastlike fungus which reproduces by budding and forms round yeastlike cells. Weathered pigeon droppings commonly contain serotype A or D (C.neoformans var. neoformans). C.neoformans has been isolated from the litter around trees of the specimen Eucalyptus camaldulensis and E. tereticornis. Infection is acquired by inhalation of the fungus. Pulmonary infection has a tendency toward spontaneous resolution and is frequently asymptomatic. Silent hematogenous spread may occur to perivascular areas of gray matter in basal ganglia. Lung lesion is characterised by intense granulomatous inflammation. Tissues are stained with methenamine silver, periodic acid-Schiff and mucicarmine. Most patients have meningoencephalitis at the time of diagnosis which results in death within 2 to several years after onset if left untreated. Chest pain oocurs in 40% and cough in 20% cases. Fever is modest or absent. X-ray shows one or more dense infiltrates which are often well circumscribed. Cavitation, pleural effusion and hilar adenopathy are infrequent. Calcification and fibrotic stranding are rare. Pulmonary cryptococcosis appears on CT as nodules with smooth or relatively undefined margins and homogeneous attenuation. Sputum culture is positive in only 10% Serum antigen test is positive in only 1/3cases. Biopsy is usually required Treatment consists of amphotericin B (0.6-0.7 mg/kg daily) or liposomal AmB (4-5 mg/kg daily) for 2 weeks and until symptoms improve; then fluconazole (400 mg/day) for 8 weeks; alternatively itraconazole (400 mg/day) for 8 weeks after AmB; then 200 mg/day maintenance.
CONCLUSIONS: A case of isolated pulmonary cryptococcosis with acute lung injury in a immuno-competent host contracted by an acute exposure to the pathogen is reported.

TY - JOUR T1 - Comparison of lithium-polymer cell performance with unity and nonunity transference numbers JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2000 A1 - Karen E. Thomas A1 - Steven E. Sloop A1 - John B. Kerr A1 - John S. Newman KW - lithium-polymer cell KW - nonunity transference numbers KW - unity transference numbers AB -
This work compares the performance of lithium batteries with polymer electrolytes with unity ("ionomer") and nonunity ("polymer electrolyte") transference numbers. The study is performed with respect to a particular cell chemistry, Li metal∣polymer∣LiV6O13-composite electrode, which is currently a top candidate for use in electric vehicles. Cell performance was modeled to determine the best possible performance of cells containing four different electrolytes: "ideal" polymer membrane and ionomer with properties defined by USABC goals, and the presently best available polymer electrolyte and ionomer. Positive electrode thickness, porosity, and current density were varied to find the cell geometry with the highest combined energy density and peak power performance for cells with each electrolyte, and concentration and potential profiles are examined to determine the limitations of the electrolytes. The results show that at 40°C, the "ideal" polymer electrolyte can provide 104 W h/kg and 99 Wp/kg, the "ideal" ionomer can provide 94 W h/kg and 58 Wp/kg, and the currently available electrolytes can provide about one-fifth of these values.VL - 89 IS - 2 ER -

Kitty Comes to Court
When my uncle called me to court I was only too eager to come. There was the promise of new dresses and jewels and even more wonders in store if I agreed to come. Of course, I was sad to leave behind my lover, I'd grown so accustomed to his caresses, but the promise of new dresses and jewels was just too tempting to resist.
At fifteen, I am positively ancient. It's a pity I'm still single because I'm so beautiful. When I found out yesterday my friend was to be married, I turned green with envy! But I'd still rather be me than her. I'd rather be at the king's court serving Queen Anne, even if she is plain and wears frumpish gowns and speaks only German.
They tell me the king already wants out of his marriage. Maybe he'll knock off another head, I suggest, and the court laughs at my witticism. I am very popular at court, even more popular than my cousin Anne was. We don't mention her in my family, of course, not since her execution. But I still remember how very high she rose and how very, very low she fell.
I know I can rise even higher than she did. Uncle says all I have to do is seduce the king. It won't be easy pretending to be infatuated with a fat smelly old man, but all I have to do is think of the new dresses and jewels I am sure to receive and I know I can do it. All I have to do is think of my lover's attention on me, his hands on my thighs and his mouth on my mine, and I can put up with the fact that the king is old enough to be my grandfather and that his kisses are really very sloppy and messy.
Truly, it's horrifying when you think about what a lecher he is. But since he's the king everyone bows to him, no matter how terrible he behaves.
Uncle told me he's pleased with my comportment and that the king is certain to propose to me. But how can a married man take another wife, I protested. Surely even the king can't commit bigamy. My uncle just called me a silly lamb.
I think it should be very nice to be queen. I'd be able to buy new dresses and jewels every day. I think I would make a good queen.

#1 Consumer Comment
Have Always Had Great Service From Cooltan, Disagree With This Completely!
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 17, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, July 17, 2013
In response to this ripoff report, I completely disagree. My husband and I have been buying Cooltan suits and shirts for about 3 years now, and I have never had any issues with them! On the contrary, I have always had fantastic customer service, fast shipping, easy returns the 1 time I needed to do so, and the suits and shirts have always tanned through just like they say they do. Cooltan offers discounts for returning customers, free shipping, have sales fairly regularly, and are on almost every social media site so are easy to find. I think that the customer who posted the rip off report, if they are telling the truth, must be a rare exception to the normally fantastic service that Cooltan seems to offer. Also, for the suits/shirts to tan through completely evenly with the rest of your body, you do have to apply sunscreen to the parts of your body not covered by fabric. Obviously, even though the suits are very lightweight they are still an extra layer on your skin and therefore won't tan as fast as the rest of your body. Cooltan is a company that has fulfilled all my customer service needs, and I will continue to buy from them. Do not believe 1 customers angry rant about this company! Also, here are 3 youtube reviews about Cooltan from customers who are completely satisfied:

District 10 Male
Staring with wide eyes as the fierce auburn haired girl takes to the stage, I wonder what convinced her to save a little girl I was sure she didn't even know, judging by her somewhat absent expression.
Next to me, a boy inhaled sharply and murmured "No..." I watch with a helpless expression as the boy's blue eyes glimmered with unshed tears "I was too late..." he muttered to himself.
The escort remained fussing over the girl, commenting on her bravery. I stare blankly at the glass bowl housing the names of all the eligible boys in District 10. I can't help fearing the loss of everything, if I were chosen. My family... My life... Left in the hands of ruthless gamemakers determined to see my fall. All for a reality tv show, which infuriates me. Who in their right minds wants to watch kids wipe each other out in a fight to the death?
The escort's wild, frantically excited eyes flit over the worried faces of the boys. The escort beams at us as she plucked a name from the glass bowl and precedes to smooth it out before taking a breath and reading out the name. In the second it takes her to read out the name, my world comes crashing down.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I want to know why the state did not pick it up and prosecute like they do most other people.
If you signed an affidavit of non-prosecution and the State actually dismissed the case, they are not likely to refile it. Their case becomes much more difficult to prove because you have gone back and forth on it, so they may not want to spend any more time on it. You can certainly call the Dallas County DAs office and ask to speak to a victim advocate. They can look into it for you.
Macy Jaggers's answer to a legal question on Avvo does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Ms. Jaggers offers everyone a free consultation to discuss their case. Feel free to call her office at 214-365-9800 to make an appointment (phones are answered 24 hours) or visit her website at www.macyjaggers.com for more information about her services and recent victories.Ask a similar question
I agree with Ms. Jaggers. I would add that most prosecutors are likely to be "done" with a case if the victim asks that it be dropped and the prosecutor then agrees to drop it. That might well explain why the prosecutor did not "pick it up".
Answers on Avvo are for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal advice. No attorney / client relationship is created by providing this answer. For specific advice about your situation, you should consult a competent attorney of your choosing.Ask a similar question
Not likely. Once they drop the case, it's dropped even if you change your mind if your signed the dismissal.Ask a similar question

Europe risks crashing back into recession in a blow to Britain's recovery, experts warn.
Figures out yesterday show that in the three months to the end of June France flatlined and Germany, the powerhouse of Europe , shrank 0.2%.
The slowdown threatens the UK as the Eurozone accounts for half of all British exports.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney warned this week "modest" growth in the Eurozone was a key challenge.
And fellow rate-setter David Miles told the BBC it was "pretty difficult" to see UK exports growing, stressing: "Our single biggest export market has been, I'm tempted to say, dead in the water."
His warning came as Eurostat figures confirmed the Eurozone failed to grow in the two quarters between January and June. The government of French President Francois Hollande has urged the European Central Bank to
boost growth.
Fears of the Ukraine crisis worsening are unnerving German firms, already worried by labour market reforms under Chancellor Angela Merkel. Italy fell back to recession in the second quarter, though Spain and Portugal grew 0.6%. Figures today are expected to confirm the UK economy grew 0.8% between April and June.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said: "A stalling of growth raises fears the Euro area is sliding into triple-dip recession. But many point to data suggesting growth will revive."
Today the Office for National Statistics is expected to confirm the UK economy is back to pre-recession levels, though recovery has been slower than in other major economies.
Average wages are falling for the first time since 2009, down 0.2% year-on-year in the three months to June.
Analysis by Graham Hiscott:
The UK has the highest inflation in Europe.
At 1.9%, it is around three times more than the eurozone average.
One reason our economy has bounced back is because record low interest rates have encouraged people to splash the cash by taking on debt or raiding their savings.
But an economy built on consumer spending is shaky, especially if households then scale back in the face of future interest rate hikes.
The Government's plan is to rebalance the economy towards business investment. Yet that relies on firms having orders – so a eurozone recession hardly helps.
Exports to the EU were down 7% to £12billion in June, widening the trade gap with the rest of Europe.
With the economy a key issue in next year's general election, David Cameron and George Osborne will be keenly watching how things pan out.

Travel Blogs from Jaboatao Dos Guararapes
Arrived in Recife... on my way north
My second impression of Salvador was much better than the first thanks to a local student who played private tour guide for a free beer today. In the evening I flew to Recife where I will spend two nights in Orlinda, a small colonial town. The flight attendant suggested that I spend at least one day at one of the beautiful beaches in the South.

1. Technical Field
The invention relates to methods and systems for providing information in a content delivery system and, more specifically, to methods of providing information from a content provider through a portal to a user.
2. Description of Related Art
In known computer systems, the user may reside on a computer with a known browser and may be connected to the Internet. If the user requires information, it is possible to access a portal via the Internet and to request the desired information from the portal.
In known systems, the portal replicates all information which may be requested by users from the content providers and stores all that information in its own system. This storage tends to use a large amount of memory space within the portal. Once a content provider's information is stored at the portal, however, the content provider no longer has control of the provided information, because, for example, the portal may forward the information to another portal without the permission of the content provider.
If a user requests some information, the portal may combine sources of information from its stored content before sending the combined information to the requester.
When a portal replicates information from various content providers, the information is stored in the specific format of the information within the portal. This has the consequence that the portal needs to provide a content-specific application (also known as portlet) which is able to convert the required information from the specific format of the content provider into a format such as the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which may be displayed by the browser of the user. The conversion of the requested information leads to another effort which has to be carried out by the portal. Furthermore, this task is quite cumbersome, because the portal needs to be familiar with all formats of the information provided by the different content providers.
To solve this problem, content providers often create portlets and offer them to portals. However, this leads to the fact that the portal takes over software from the content providers which may include undesirable logic or data such as viruses or the like.
Another disadvantage of known systems is the fact that a portal typically has to pay fees in advance to content providers for the information they provide. If, then, the information is not requested by the portal's users, the portal does not recoup the fees it has paid because it receives little or no compensation from its users.
Therefore, a need exists for a method of operating a computer system that is capable of converting content in a desired format without using excessive memory space. A need also exists for systems and methods that provide content in a desired format while overcoming the drawbacks described above with respect to known methods and systems.
The present invention provides methods and systems for providing information in a communication network or content delivery network wherein nodes coupled to the network are represented by at least one content provider, a portal and users. According to the invention, a portal is capable of providing information to users in the common format of a markup language, rather than in the specific format of a content provider. The portal does not require computer programs which, in known systems, are necessary to convert the information from the specific format of the content provider into a common format. Instead, a computer-based method may be used by the one or more content providers to generate the information in a markup language before sending it to the portal. The computer-based method used by the content provider is referred to herein as a specific portlet. The portal uses a computer-based method which is able to combine the information received from the content providers in the markup language. This computer-based method is referred to herein as a generic portlet which is associated with the portal.
In one aspect of the invention, a computer-based method of providing information between a plurality of nodes is coupled to a communication network. The method comprises the steps of.
In a second aspect of the invention, the computer-based method comprises the steps of: generating, within at least one content provider node, information in a markup language; and sending, from the at least one content provider node, the generated information to a portal node for combining and sending the information to a user node.
The invention may be embodied in the form of a computer program product for use in a content delivery network comprising a plurality of nodes, the product comprising a machine readable medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the method steps described herein.
Objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments thereof, which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawing.
The description which follows differentiates between the location where content or information is stored and the location where the information is combined. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the term "portlet," which refers to a content-specific application that runs on a portal in known systems, is described as either a specific portlet or a generic portlet. The specific portlet is associated with the content provider and is provided for generating the required information in a markup language. The generic portlet is associated with the portal and is provided for combining the information in said markup language.
According to the present invention, information is sent from a content provider to a portal not in the specific format of the content provider, but in the common format of a markup language. This is accomplished by introducing a specific portlet within the content provider. The specific portlet generates information in a markup language out of the specific format of the content provider.
As a result, the portal does not require computer programs which, in known systems, are necessary to convert the information from the specific format of the content provider into a common format. Instead, the portal uses a computer-based method which is able to combine the information received from the content providers in the markup language. This computer-based method is the generic portlet within the portal.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is not necessary to replicate all information from the content providers to the portal. Thus, the portal is not required to use up extra memory space for such information. Instead, if a user requests information from the portal, the portal may forward the request to the relevant content provider(s). The content provider may then return the requested information to the portal in the markup language. The portal may combine information as needed and send the combined information back to the user.
If a portal does not need to replicate all information from its content providers, the portal may not need to pay any fees for this information in advance of any requests from users. If a user requests information from the portal which will cause the portal to be charged with a fee by a content provider, the portal may first ask the user for confirmation and then send the requested information after having received the confirmation from the user.
This aspect of the invention allows for a payment system which is based on the requested information, and in which the portal is involved as a forwarding institution between the user and the content provider, but not as an institution which is paying fees in advance.
In another aspect of the invention, when a content provider changes its information or adds new information, it may do so independently of a portal's operations. That is, the portal does not have to replicate or store the information, because these changes and additions are associated with the content provider. The content provider also has more control over the information it provides, because the information does not have to be stored with the portal.
Any of the content providers 11, 12, 13 comprises at least one specific portlet 14, 15, 16 which comprises software running on the respective server computer of the content provider 11, 12, 13. The specific portlets 14, 15, 16 are able to generate the information which is present within the content provider 11, 12, 13 in a markup language, such as, for example, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The generated HTML-markup may be a fragment, i.e. the generated fragment may not actually contain any HTML-tag but may be limited to less. Alternatively, the generated HTML-markup may be a well-defined HTML-document. The generated HTML-markup of the information, i.e. the fragments or the documents, may then be sent from the content providers 11, 12, 13 to a portal 17.
Portal 17 collects the information received from the content providers 11, 12, 13. The portal 17 is located on a server computer (not shown) within computing environment 10. The portal 17 comprises at least one so-called generic portlet 18 which comprises software running on the server computer of the portal 17. In particular, the generic portlet 18 is able to combine the fragments and documents of information sent by the several content providers 11, 12, 13 into complete information.
The combined and complete information may then be sent from the portal 17 to at least one user 19. Typically, the user 19 requests the information from the portal 17. The user 19 preferably comprises a client computer with browser software.
In running conditions, the portal 17 identifies all available content providers 11, 12, 13 and establishes a corresponding list. This list may then be offered to all users 19 and/or information requests or only to some of them.
If a user requests information, the request may be sent from the user 19 to the portal 17. For that purpose, the browser of the user's client computer 19 is used. The information request may therefore be sent as HTML-markup from the user 19 to the portal 17.
The portal 17 may connect to one or more of the content providers 11, 12, 13 synchronously or asynchronously and collect the information requested by the user 19. During this connection, additional data may be exchanged between the portal 17 and the content providers 11, 12, 13. Such data may, for example, relate to the name and/or address of the user 19, the type of browser which is used by the user 19, and the like.
The information requested from the content providers 11, 12, 13 may be generated within the content providers 11, 12, 13. For that purpose, specific portlets 14, 15, 16 within the content providers 11, 12, 13 generate the relevant part of the requested information or the entire requested information as a fragment or a document in HTML-markup. By way of example, specific portlet 16 of content provider 13 may generate a document of stock quotes or at least a fragment of some stock quotes in HTML-markup.
It is important to notice that the generated fragment in HTML-markup may not be generated as a valid or well-formed HTML-document. In particular, the fragment may not contain any HTML-tags but rather may limit itself to any other HTML-markup. It is emphasized that the fragment may also be generated in any other kind of markup language, for example the Wireless Markup Language (WML) or the like.
Specific portlets 14, 15, 16 within content providers 11, 12, 13 are adapted to the respective information of the content provider 11, 12, 13 and in particular to the format of that information. Therefore, the specific portlets 14, 15, 16 within the different content providers 11, 12, 13 may be different. That is the reason they are called specific portlets. As a consequence, specific portlets 14, 15, 16 may be established and updated by the content providers 11, 12, 13 themselves with the advantage that the entities, e.g., the content providers 11, 12, 13, that provide the information may also provide the corresponding specific portlets 14, 15, 16 for generating the fragments of information in markup, such as, for example, HTML-markup.
The fragments of, for example, HTML-markup may be sent from any of content providers 11, 12, 13 to portal 17. Portal 17 collects the received information and combines it into the requested information. For that purpose, generic portlet 18 may be used within the portal. Generic portlet 18 is able to interpret fragments in a given markup such as HTML-markup and combine them into complete information. As all fragments are received as a particular markup, such as HTML-markup, this portlet 18 is called generic.
The combined and completed information may be sent from the portal 17 back to the user 19. The information may be sent again in markup such as HTML-markup. The information received by the user 19 may then be displayed on the computer system to the user with the help of the browser 19.
The content format between the content providers 11, 12, 13, the portal 17 and the user 19 may be but does not need to be based on HTML-markup. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the references to HTML-markup herein are merely for illustrative purposes, and that other markup languages may be used to generate fragments or documents of information for the purposes of the present invention. However, due to the use of HTML-markup on the Internet, this format is advantageous.
If the described computing environment 10 is realized on the Internet, then Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) instead of fragments or documents of HTML-markup may be sent from the content providers 11, 12, 13 to the portal 17. According to this embodiment of the invention, portal 17 may combine the URIs in substantially the same way as the fragments and documents of HTML-markup. The portal 17 may then send the combined and completed information as, for example, HTML-markup to the user 19.
If portal 17 provides data concerning, e.g., the type of the browser of the user 19 to the content providers 11, 12, 13, then it is possible that only those content providers 11, 12, 13 that are able to send their fragments or documents of information in a format which is compatible with the browser of the user 19 may participate in the provision of information to this user 19. A content provider 11, 12, 13 which is not compatible with a particular browser may thereby be excluded.
If the information to be provided from any of content providers 11, 12 or 13 to portal 17 is associated with a fee, the respective content provider 11, 12 or 13 may first send a charge request to the portal 17 instead of the requested information. If the fee to be charged is confirmed, the requested information may be sent in a second step.
A fee may be positive if, e.g., the content provider 11, 12 or 13 wants to include advertisements in the information to be provided. In this case, the content provider 11, 12 or 13 may be expected to pay a fee to the portal 17 instead of the other way around. For a faster provision of information, the content providers 11, 12, 13 may assume, for example, that the portal 17 agrees to receive advertisements together with the requested information. In this case, the fee to be paid by a content provider 11, 12 or 13 may be credited automatically to the portal 17.
The fee may be negative if, e.g., the content provider 11, 12 or 13 charges the information to be provided with the fee. In this case, the portal 17 may ask the user 19 whether the user 19 accepts this fee. The fee to be paid may be displayed to the user 19. Then, the portal 17 may forward the acceptance or rejection of the fee to the respective content provider 11, 12 or 13 depending on the response of the user 19. For fast provision of information, content providers 11, 12 or 13 may assume that the user 19 will accept the fee so that the requested information may be sent without any confirmation by the user 19.
The description of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the invention in the form disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention, the practical application, and to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

I ran across this video again and thought to share. One of the best examples of quick and proper reaction, using cover, moving off the X over and over as he fires and defeating THREE bad guys. One thug even drops his gun and both shoes as his ass becomes a bullet backstop. If this guy was not a career cop he should have been. I wonder how many weekends a month he shoots IDPA? LOL

Here is another robbery of an Internet café in Florida being robbed, and the robbers shot by an armed citizen:
I didn't know that Internet cafés still existed, and I'm surprised that they would be robbery targets.
Well done! It's remarkable how quickly he reacts and continually uses movement and cover. Hard to see anything he could have done much better.

Sam Bradford took shots and delivered shots in his debut as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback.
It wasn't a perfect night for the veteran quarterback acquired 15 days before his first action in Norv Turner's offense, but Bradford showed moxie in the pocket and delivered many of the game's biggest offensive plays while outdoing former NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in the Vikings' 17-14 win at the first regular-season game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"It's a big credit to a guy who has come in here 15 days or whatever it was and he's learned enough of the offense to come in and perform against a team that's pressuring and blitzing and attacking him as much as they did," Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said. "It was a good win."
Bradford completed 22 of 31 passes – two more completions than Rodgers in five fewer attempts – for 286 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He ended with a 121.2 passer rating, the fifth-best for a Vikings quarterback making his first start.
Bradford was pressured often and took a hit to his left (non-throwing) hand that required a quick X-ray, but he didn't miss a snap.
"Sam did great and showed a ton of poise. Obviously, he was under a little bit of pressure but he made so many great throws under pressure and getting hit, showed a lot of toughness," Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway said. "For us, only knowing him for two weeks, we know a little bit about Sam from playing against him and seeing him in the league, but to kind of have him in your team now and bring him in around the circle and say, 'Hey, he is our quarterback,' that's just the circumstances we were dealt. He's our quarterback now and he's going to be one of us."
Bradford's 286 yards were the best for a Vikings quarterback making his first start, but he endured four sacks and other big hits in the process.
"He can throw the ball," Zimmer said. "He's got some toughness about him. This isn't his first rodeo, so he's had opportunities to get in there and continue to go. He was pretty composed all night and on the sideline as far as when I talked to him and things like that. It was a good start."
With a running game that was balky at best for the second straight game, and then without Adrian Peterson after he left the game with a knee injury in the third quarter, Bradford didn't simply settle for the quick, short passes. He drove the ball downfield and put pressure on the Packers defense.
His four longest pass plays were all to Stefon Diggs.
"Diggs did a great job tonight," Bradford said. "He's just kind of one of those guys. When I first got here and started watching tape, he just kind of popped. You just kind of notice him. He's always getting separation; he seems to always be finding a way to get open. Then tonight, he was pretty much unstoppable out there tonight."
Diggs finished the game with nine catches for 182 yards and one touchdown.
He was targeted more than 15 yards downfield on two of Bradford's biggest pass plays – a 44-yarder in the second quarter and a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Bradford had four passes that resulted in gains of 25 yards or more. His first touchdown went to tight end Kyle Rudolph, who gave the ball to Bradford.
"It doesn't say a whole lot about us; it is all about Sam," Rudolph said. "What he has been able to do over the past two weeks is unbelievable. I have never seen it before. The last time I was around a quarterback with two weeks of preparation was the Monday night football disaster (with Josh Freeman). So what Bradford was able to do here in two weeks, grasp the offense and his ability to learn is unbelievable."
Said Zimmer: "I was impressed with pretty much everything he did (Sunday night). I thought he had great composure."null

Last year's tournaments were a blast, so you won't want to miss out. The tournaments are pretty straight forward - registration opens at 6AM, you're greeted with a smile, pop or water, then given a sack lunch for the day before you get into the water. After eight hours of fishing, your team weighs in, and winners are announced.
This year kicks off our seventh annual ND Fishing Challenge, and each tournament continues to grow. Be sure to get your registrations in today as we have a 50 team limit per tournament.
Not only are you supporting North Dakota Teen Challenge by participating, but a portion of our proceeds go to Lure Em For LIfe - so you're supporting them, too!
This website will help you register for the tournament, checkout rules, and scope out last year's results which will probably be this year's competition. Good Luck!

Woman Sues Golf Club After Being Banned From Event
By Kickntrue on 2/19/08
Elaine Joyce is suing a public course in Cape Cod where her family holds a full membership after being banned from a men-only event held last May. Joyce is a champion amateur golfer and was looking forward to whipping the boys at Dennis Pines.
I feel like we've heard this story before- but what makes it interesting is that it is a public course. I'll risk my neck with a few of my own thoughts. While on the surface this screams discrimination against Ms. Joyce I think a court needs to look at it from the standpoint of true equal services to men and women. For instance- I'm sure many would flip if they allowed men to play in the women's club championship. That said- if they course doesn't offer a women's event, then I think Joyce should be allowed to play because their is no alternative.
As a side note:
"Although Elaine Joyce is a member, Champoux, the head pro, did not inform her of the decision to bar her from playing. Instead, he called her father."Elaine Joyce is 43, not 17. There's a word for people like Russell Champoux. Let's play charades. One word, five letters, rhymes with....

I think it should be pretty straight forward, if its a mens only thing then it is a mens only thing. After all we all know what G.O.L.F. really stands for.
Just kidding.
Joking aside if thats a mens only thing ask them to do another tournie a coed and recruit some more women for the thing. I hate people who sue for stupid trivial things. Those are my two cents.

Icy water crashes over the side of our life raft as it battles through the waves. Only the lightning illuminates the blackness around us. I'm soaked to the skin, freezing cold, and whey-faced with seasickness when a strong wave sends me careering across the raft and into Bear Grylls. There are worse people than the TV survival star and ex-SAS man to be all at sea with, I suppose.
Except, we are not at sea. Minutes later the lightning stops; the water calms down, and my stomach stops churning. This is not some elaborate fakery for Grylls's TV series Born Survivor – although the adventurer is reportedly no stranger to that – but a hi-tech training exercise to prepare him for his next adventure: attempting to become the first man to navigate the whole of the treacherous North-west Passage in a rib. (That's a Rigid Inflatable Boat to folks back home.)
Our little vessel is floating on a vast pool at the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) sea survival centre in Poole, Dorset. With me is the four-strong crew that will accompany Grylls on the infamous 3,000-mile crossing, which includes an ex-Special Boat Service boat handler, a marine engineer and an ocean racer. As a sedentary journalist, it is fair to say I am out of my depth.
Moments later this is literally the case. While the thought of wrapping their legs around Grylls's waist may delight the adventurer's female fans, doing so while trying to swim in sync to offer mutual assistance proves faintly ridiculous, and no mean feat in waterlogged yellow oilskins and wellington boots.
Apparently, learning this, along with capsizing the right way, mastering the life raft and being picked up by a helicopter are all vital skills that could make the difference between life and death on the crew's forthcoming expedition.
I'm not alone in floundering in the swell. Tim Levy, chief executive of Future Capital Partners, the company funding the trip to promote the use of new fuels such as bioethanol, has also never sailed before. "I've got no experience, none at all," the 47-year-old says, his cheerful face poking out of a white helmet as he bobs up and down in the water. "It is just a crazy idea that I cooked up with Bear."
Feeling sicker by the minute as yet another wave crashes over my head, I'm inclined to agree with him.
"People freak out. They get sick, too. Even the most experienced people get sick," assures the RNLI representative Paul Cullen.
Grylls does not look remotely sick. The married father of three looks tanned and relaxed, having just returned from Los Angeles, where he was shooting his new TV show about surviving Worst Case Scenarios in urban areas.
Whether or not he will survive the North-west Passage is another matter, however. While the old Etonian's exploratory credentials are impressive – he became the youngest man to climb Everest at the age of 23 – the hazardous sea route takes no prisoners. When the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin led an expedition in search of the shipping passage in 1845, his ships became locked in the ice halfway through the passage, forcing the 129-man crew to turn to cannibalism in their final days. No one survived.
This apparently doesn't deter Grylls, who insists: "I love being in remote, difficult places with good friends. It is where the best bonds are made. Fighting the cold, the long distances, navigating through ice, and also the uncertainty of finding out if the ice has actually broken up enough to allow us to sneak through, are where the risks come in."
Icebergs probably pose the biggest threat. In 2008, extreme cold weather stopped even an ice-breaker from getting through some sections of the passage. But Grylls is confident of support from a force stronger still. As an evangelical Christian, who tours prisons and schools talking about his faith, Grylls hopes that God will be watching over him. "I am yet to meet an atheist in the Arctic Ocean in a small boat," he admits.
Unusually for the camera-hungry Grylls, the trip is not for a TV show, but to highlight global warming while fundraising for the children's charity Global Angels.
If it is an attempt to repair Grylls's tarnished reputation, which took a battering when it emerged he bedded down in hotels while filming a so-called survival series that claimed he was stranded on desert islands and in the Sierra Nevada mountains, he is not letting on.
"I've got to a position of responsibility and want to drive home the message about global warming," he says, smiling, the Hollywood-white teeth a reminder that the country's Chief Scout is now a global TV star, his shows are watched by more than one billion people worldwide. "The Scouts are so motivated by this issue; it will be one of these 15-year-old kids grown up who will change things."
As if on cue, a line of children press their noses to the window outside, desperate to catch a glimpse of the adventurer.
