Main Ideas • Major physical features of the United States include mountains, rivers, and plains. • The climate of the United States is wetter in the East and South and drier in the West. • The United States is rich in natural resources such as farmland, oil, forests, and minerals. Main Idea 1: Major physical features of the United States include mountains, rivers, and plains. The United States is the third largest country. Physical features from east to west include: Atlantic Coastal Plain Appalachian Mountains • Flat, close to sea level • Rises to a higher level called the Piedmont • Main mountain range in the East • Millions of years of erosion so that highest peak is about 6,700 feet Interior Plains • Filled with hills, lakes, and rivers Physical Features, continued Great Lakes Mississippi River • • The largest group of freshwater lakes in the world Important for trade between the United States and Canada • • North America's longest and most important river Has many tributaries, or smaller streams or rivers that flow into a larger stream or river E.g., the Missouri and Ohio rivers which help drain the entire Interior Plains. These rivers deposit rich silt that creates the fertile farmlands of the Interior Plains. • • Great Plains • At higher elevation has vast areas of grasslands Physical Features West of the Rockies Rocky Mountains Continental Divide Alaska and Hawaii • Enormous rugged mountain ranges that rise above 14,000 feet • • A line of high peaks in the Rocky Mountains A continental divide is an area of high ground that divides the flow of rivers towards opposite ends of a continent. Rivers to the east empty into the Mississippi River and to the west into the Pacific Ocean. • At 20,320 feet, Alaska's Mount McKinley is the highest mountain in North America. Hawaii formed by volcanoes millions of years ago. • Main Idea 2: The climate of the United States is wetter in the East and South and drier in the West. East and South • Northeast: Humid continental climate with snowy winters and warm, humid summers • South: Humid subtropical climate with milder winters and warm, humid summers • Florida: Warm all year Interior Plains • Most of the region: A humid continental climate • Great Plains: Hot and dry summers West • West: Mostly dry • Pacific Northwest coast: A wet, mild coastal climate • Alaska: Sub-arctic and tundra climates • Hawaii: A warm, tropical climate Main Idea 3: The United States is rich in natural resources such as farmland, oil, forests, and minerals. • Alaska, California, or Louisiana: oil – The U.S. is a major oil producer but uses more oil than it produces. • Appalachians and Rockies: minerals including coal – Coal supplies the energy for more than half of the electricity produced in the U.S. – The U.S. has about 25 percent of the world's coal reserves. • Forests: lumber • Farmlands: wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, fruits, and vegetables History and Culture The Big Idea Democratic ideas and immigration have shaped the history and culture of the United States. Main Ideas • The United States is the world's first modern democracy. • The people and culture of the United States are very diverse. Main Idea 1: The United States is the world's first modern democracy. • 1500s: Europeans settlers established colonies, or territories inhabited and controlled by people from a foreign land. • Mid-1700s: The British Empire included more than a dozen colonies along the Atlantic coast. • Boston and New York became major seaports. • Plantations, or large farms that grow mainly one crop, harvested tobacco, rice, or cotton using enslaved Africans. • July 1776: The colonial representatives adopted the Declaration of Independence, which did not give rights to everyone, but was a great step toward equality and justice. • 1781: General George Washington's army defeated the British in the Revolutionary War, which had started in Massachusetts and spread west and south. • Britain recognized the independence of the U.S. and granted the U.S. all its land east of the Mississippi River. Expansion and Industrial Growth • These first settlers who traveled west for land and plentiful resources were called pioneers. • Groups of families undertook the harsh trip along the 2,000-mile Oregon Trail. • Late 1840s: Discovery of gold brought tens of thousands of people to California. • 1850: More than 23 million people • Late 1880s: Major steel, oil, and textile production • Most industrial cities in Northeast and Midwest. • The development of waterways and railroads helped industry and expansion into interior. • Late 1800s/early 1900s: Immigration from Europe creates a culturally diverse nation. Wars and Peace • The United States fought in several wars during the 1900s. • Many Americans died in World Wars I and II. • The United States and the Soviet Union became rivals in the Cold War. – 1950s: War in Korea – 1960s and 1970s: War in Vietnam • Early 1990s: The collapse of the Soviet Union marked the end of the Cold War. • 1991: The United States fought Iraq in the Persian Gulf War. • 2003: United States invaded Iraq and is helping Iraqis rebuild their country today. • Today the United States is one of the most powerful members of the United Nations. U.S. Government and Citizenship • Government • • • Rights And Responsibilities • • • A limited, democratic government with an elected president and Congress The Constitution defines the powers of the federal government. The federal government handles issues affecting the whole country. States, counties, and cities have their own governments that provide state and local services, such as trash collection, road building, electricity, and public transportation. U.S. citizens have the right to vote from age 18. Citizens are encouraged to participate in their government. Participation is essential to democratic government. Main Idea 2: The people and culture of the United States are very diverse. Hispanic Americans Native Americans African Americans • Many came from Mexico, Cuba, and other Latin American countries. • For thousands of years, Native Americans were the only people in the Americas. • Most live in the southwestern states that border Mexico. • Today most live in the west, particularly in Arizona and New Mexico. • African Americans live in every region, but southern states and many large cities have a higher percentage. European Descendents • About 7 out of every 10 people Asian Americans • Live mostly in California Language and Religion • Language • Religion After English, Spanish is the most widely spoken language. About 17 million Americans speak Spanish. • Over 50 million are bilingual, or speak two languages. • Most people are Christians. Some are Jewish or Muslim. A small percentage is Hindu or Buddhist. • Many religious holidays: Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan and the feast called 'Id al-Fitr • African Americans also celebrate Kwanzaa, a holiday that is based on a traditional African festival. Food, Music, and Popular Culture Food And Music Popular Culture • Diverse ethnic foods like Mexican tacos, Italian pasta, or Japanese sushi are now part of the American diet. • Music from around the world have also influenced American culture. • American musical styles include blues, jazz, rock, and hip hop. • American culture, such as movies, television programs, and sports, are popular abroad. • E.g., Star Wars seen by millions, baseball in Japan, Starbucks in almost every major city, and an MTV channel in Asia The United States Today The Big Idea The United States has four main regions and faces opportunities and challenges. Main Ideas • The United States has four regions—the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. • The United States has a strong economy and a powerful military but is facing the challenge of world terrorism. Main Idea 1: The United States has four regions—the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. The Northeast • Industrial and financial centers • Economy: banks, investment firms, insurance companies, respected universities • Rich farmland, coal, steel production, and fishing • Most densely populated region in the U.S. with 40 million people • Cities from Boston to Washington, D.C. form a megalopolis, or a string of large cities that have grown together. • Cities founded in colonial era became important seaports.

1. Silverfox
Its about time to make another walking animal, the last one was motorized wolf from 2011. The building process has already started and you can expect more updates on this model very soon. The model will be another step forward in my animals with more optimised structure, functions and realism. An example given is the use of ball joints for the hips, and linear actuators for muscles analougous to what animals have.
2. Arocs 10x10
With Lego's relase of the 42043 Mercedes Arocs I was inspired to make a fully driven and motorized version. This is not a simple mod, but a complete new model, the only similarity is the cabin. The original hard suspension is replaced with soft interdependent axle system which gives the model extreme suspension articulation. For extra maneuverabilty and traction there is also a 5th steered axle added in the rear.
This model is due to relase as soon as I manage to get the donour 42043 Lego Mercedes set.
3. Dominator TRS hypercar
Sample picture, real model will probably be different
With the upcomming relase of the new Lego porsche I was inspired to create a new supercar with advanced functions as multilink suspension, flappy paddle gearbox, remote control system, and many other secret functions. I belive this will be one of my most complex, advanced and detailed models so far.
4. All-round fastest Lego RC model
Lately I have been hearing you guys want less offroaders and more variety.
Well I hear you guys :)
What I have in plan is to create the fastest, most maneuverable and all round best pure Lego RC car I can make.
The whole process will be split into 6 video tutorials:
1. Testing, comparing and choosing wheels for best performance compromise between traction, rolling resistance and weight.
2. Choosing the motor and control system and comparing the different driveline systems such as front, rear, all wheel drive, differentials, and so on.
3. Creating and showcasing the different suspensions systems and explaining how the different factors such as caster, camber, accerman and multilink geometries affect the handling.
4. Resarching the best compromise for a bodywork which will have to be detailed, yet light as possible. I also plan to showcase the different ways you can build the body, ranging from full studded bodies to simple flex-tube shapes.
5. The final assembly. All the before explored modules will some together into a model which will be ready for the final and most entertaining, action packed finale.
6. Measure and test step is the final part where the finished car is put through its paces. I plan to measure acceleration, top speed, handling, and reliability of the finished prototype and iron out the bugs to fnish the project.
As you can see this video tutorial pack will basically be a learning tool for both me and the viewers into how to push Lego designs into new limits than ever before.
What do you think of my H1 2016 plan? Please leave a comment and thank you for reading!

Researchers from the Institut Jacques Monod (CNRS/University of Paris Diderot), the Institute of Biology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS/CNRS/Inserm), and the University of Bristol, have described for the first time in its totality the mechanisms by which DNA damaged by UV radiation is repaired, and how the proteins involved in this process cooperate to ensure its efficiency.
This work opens new perspectives not only in the fight against cancer but also in combating certain bacterial infections, and is published in Nature on August 3rd 2016.
The DNA of our cells is continuously damaged by numerous external agents, such as carcinogens contained in tobacco smoke or UV radiation emitted by the sun. If left unrepaired, this damage leads to mutations which ultimately favor the emergence of cancerous cells, which is why the cell must rapidly and efficiently repair its DNA. To do so, the cell employs a battery of enzymes which must act in a synchronous fashion to identify and repair the damaged parts of its genome. The complexity of this process has long stumped researchers trying to understand the mechanisms at play.
Thanks to new nanotechnologies, a team of scientists which brings together both physicists and biologists has been able to film, in real-time, the enzymes that repair DNA damage. This work started in 2012[1], when the team focused on the initial steps of the DNA repair mechanism. Today the team has revealed, for the first time, the repair process in its entirety.
A special type of microscope, which makes it possible to both manipulate and observe single molecules of DNA and proteins, has enabled the team to observe a single DNA molecule, damaged by UV. They added to it the RNA polymerase enzyme, the one naturally responsible for "reading" the lengths of the DNA code and initiating production of protein from this DNA code, but which can get "stalled" if it reads a segment of damaged DNA. It is thanks to this "stalling" that the cell recognizes that the DNA has been damaged and launches its repair. In practical terms, the team of scientists was able to observe a series of four proteins (named Mfd, UvrA, UvrB and UvrC) successively interacting with the RNA polymerase and coordinating among themselves and the UV-damaged DNA to enact the latter's repair.
By determining the order in which these components acted and by characterizing the manner in which they "handed off" to each other in a kind of molecular relay-race, the team was able to define the critical steps of this process.
This work will ultimately lead to new applications, both in the fight against cancer and in efforts to treat pathogenic bacteria. Indeed, when cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy – the purpose of which is to damage the DNA of cancer cells – it is because these cancer cells have activated DNA repair and undone clinically-generated DNA damage. One can thus work towards preventing DNA repair during cancer therapy so as to prevent tumor resistance to therapy. It also turns out that some pathogenic bacteria, including those responsible for tuberculosis, use proteins very similar to Mfd to proliferate. Thus, identifying how these proteins work together to enact DNA repair could also be useful in fighting pathogenic bacteria.
Researchers from the Lomonosov Moscow State University discovered a new mechanism of DNA repair, which will help to treat and to prevent diseases in the future
The DNA molecule is chemically unstable giving rise to DNA lesions of different nature. That is why DNA damage detection, signaling and repair, collectively known as the DNA damage response, are needed.
A group of researchers, lead by Vasily M. Studitsky, professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, discovered a new mechanism of DNA repair, which opens up new perspectives for the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. The article describing their discovery is published in AAAS' first open access online-only journal Science Advances.
"In higher organisms DNA is bound with proteins in complexes called the nucleosome. Every ~200 base pairs are organized in nucleosomes, consisting of eight histone proteins, which, like the thread on the bobbin, wound double helix of DNA, which is coiled into two supercoiled loops. Part of the surface of the DNA helix is hidden, because it interacts with histones. Our entire genome is packed this way, except for the areas, from which the information is being currently read", — says Vasily M. Studitsky , who is the leading researcher and the head of the Laboratory of Regulation of Transcription and Replication at the Biological Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The dense packing allows DNA molecule with a length of about two meters to fit into a microscopic cell nucleus, but it makes significant surfaces of the DNA inaccessible for the repair enzymes — the proteins that manage the "repair" of damaged DNA regions. The damage of the DNA, if not repaired, leads to accumulation of mutations, cell death, and to the development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative, e.g. Alzheimer's disease.
A group of researchers, lead by Vasily M. Studitsky, studied the mechanism of detection of single-stranded DNA breaks at which the connection is lost between nucleotides on one strand in the places where the DNA is associated with histones.
Scientists know quite a lot about the mechanism of the repair. It is known that for the synthesis of a protein, information written in the genetic code, which could be imagined as the manual for its assembly where triples of nucleotides match certain amino acids, should be taken out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm of the cell.
Thin and long strand of the DNA is packed in the nucleus and can tear at the exit to the outside. Moreover, it cannot be sacrificed as the cell's nuclear DNA is is only present in two copies. Therefore, when it is necessary to synthesize specific protein, small region of DNA is unwound, the two strands are disconnected, and the information on the protein structure with one of the DNA strands is written in form of RNA, single-stranded molecule. The mRNA molecule, which serves as the template for making a protein, is synthesized by the principle of complementarity: each nucleotide pair corresponds to another one.
During the transcription of information (its rewriting into RNA) the RNA polymerase enzyme "rides" on the DNA chain, and stops when it finds the break. Like a proofreader of a text, RNA polymerase after it is stalled, triggers a cascade of reactions, resulting in the repair enzymes fixing the damaged area. At the same time, the RNA polymerase cannot detect discontinuities present in the other DNA strand.

There's a good reason people over 60 are not donor candidates for bone marrow transplantation. The immune system ages and weakens with time, making the elderly prone to life-threatening infection and other maladies, and a UC San Francisco research team now has discovered a reason why.
"We have found the cellular mechanism responsible for the inability of blood-forming cells to maintain blood production over time in an old organism, and have identified molecular defects that could be restored for rejuvenation therapies," said Emmanuelle Passegué, PhD, a professor of medicine and a member of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF. Passegué, an expert on the stem cells that give rise to the blood and immune system, led a team that published the new findings online July 30, 2014 in the journal Nature.
Blood and immune cells are short-lived, and unlike most tissues, must be constantly replenished. The cells that must keep producing them throughout a lifetime are called "hematopoietic stem cells." Through cycles of cell division these stem cells preserve their own numbers and generate the daughter cells that give rise to replacement blood and immune cells. But the hematopoietic stem cells falter with age, because they lose the ability to replicate their DNA accurately and efficiently during cell division, Passegué's lab team determined.

Bees take the points
Jota opens the scoring with close range finish
Pritchard slots home a second after Pearce's
Half time subs combine for Cox to halve the deficit
Douglas' far post header seals the win for the hosts
The Royals were made to pay for some sloppy defending as they came away from Griffin Park with nothing to show for their efforts this afternoon.
Jota broke the deadlock in only the 11th minute, reacting quickest to a cross from the right that wasn't cleared, then on the half hour mark Alex Pritchard capitalised on a slip at the back to sidefoot home a second.
Cox and Mackie were brought off the bench at the break, and the pair combined early after the restart to pull one back, Mackie's low drive flicked past David Button by Cox.
And Reading had chances to level before Jonathan Douglas headed home at the far post to make it 3-1 and ensure the points would stay in London.

In only the second minute, the Royals received an early warning of Brentford's intentions, Alex Pritchard cutting in from the left and unleashing a well-struck effort from the edge of the box that skimmed the left post as it flew wide of Federici's goal.
It wasn't long before the Royals were testing the keeper at the other end, Nick Blackman jinking past his man to rifle a right-footed effort at goal only to see David Button parry with his body. Ryan Edwards recycled it and received a one-two from Aaron Kuhl but scuffed his effort well wide.
But with little more then ten minutes played, Brentford opened the scoring. A cross from the right fell loose inside the Royals box and
reacted fastest to slide the ball into the bottom corner from only six yards out.
Reading reacted positively, Edwards testing Button's handling in slippery conditions with an effort from the edge of the box that lacked enough power to trouble the Bees stopper.
Federici was in action to cut out a low Jota cross at full stretch, then Hal Robson-Kanu came close with a near post header and both sides looked to attack.
On the half hour mark, Hector found Obita in some space out on the left and his floated cross found the head of Blackman, but the winger couldn't keep his effort down.
Blackman, though, was proving Reading's best attacking outlet, running at the Bees' back line and fizzing a left-footed effort just wide of the left post soon after.
But Pritchard doubled the hosts' advantage when he took full advantage of a couple of defensive lapses from the Royals. Kuhl lost possession in midfield, Pearce slipped and the ball rolled to the feet of
who sidefooted the ball low past Federici for 2-0.
Robson-Kanu's cross from the left took a wicked deflection and almost beat Button at his near post, but the Royals were struggling to make an impression in the final third as the half drew near to a close.
Second Half
The manager made a double change at the break, and it proved an inspired introduction. Aaron Kuhl set Gunter away down the right who turned it inside to Mackie. Driving forward, the substitute drilled an effort into the box and
was lurking to get a vital touch to turn it past Button and in.
With the hosts rattled, moments later Murray headed wide from Gunter's cross and Reading were looking to take advantage of their momentum, Mackie so desperate to get the ball back quickly he climbed into the stands to retrieve the ball for a throw-in.
Mackie was in the right place at the right time minutes later though when he cleared a header off the line at the near post, Brentford threatening to restore their two-goal cushion with a towering header from a corner.
On the hour, Mackie won a corner with a deflected shot and Blackman's inswinger was headed just over by Murray at the near post, a difficult chance going begging.
With 20 minutes remaining, a Blackman cross was cut out and put behind for a corner just before it could reach Murray racing into the box, but Brentford were defending their lead in numbers now and Reading were running out of time.
Cox dinked a cross to the far post and Blackman looped a header goalwards, only for a Brentford defender to nod it behind as it sailed towards the target.
Federici had to force Alan Judge wide as he scurried in on goal with only the Aussie to beat. The midfielder eventually got a shot away but Federici was back in position and equal to it.
Mackie cut in from the wing and forced a good save from Button, the ball falling kindly for a Brentford foot to clear instead of Murray bursting into the box searching for the scraps.
Gaps were opening up at the other end as Reading piled men forward and Diagouraga forced Federici into a fine near post save. But from the subsequent corner,
Jonathan Douglas
climbed over his marker and headed home off the underside of the bar at the far post to put the result beyond doubt. Appeals for a foul were ignored and Brentford had secured the win.
Mackie tried his luck from a tight angle to no avail, then Norwood swept an effort just over the bar from the edge of the box.
In the final throes, superb footwork from Cox saw him slide the ball into Pogrebnyak who chose to cross instead of shoot and Brentford cleared the danger. Blackman whistled an effort inches wide, but there was no way back for the Royals.

"Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink" - Charles Bukowski
The first thing I noticed was the smell of vomit and piss, followed shortly by an unbearable pounding in my head. I was just beginning to process the feeling of hard, cold tile smushed against my face when I heard Alex call from somewhere behind me, "You passed out on the kitchen floor. Again."
"I know, I'm sorry," I said, and pulled myself up. A quick glance at the sink explained where the odor was coming from. "Fuck."
"Yeah." Alex hopped off the sofa and began walking towards me. His voice seemed louder this morning, but it might have just been the hangover. "Your friends really know how to party."
"Shit," I said, hoping that would be enough to convey an agreement, an apology, shame, whatever it was he needed from me to make this better. I turned on the faucet and watched the sick slide down the drain.
Alex placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him, his fingers digging painfully into my skin. "Look, mate, you know I love you-"
"Alex," I said, shaking my head, trying to clear away the alcohol drumming and the image of my parents' tartan couch forming in my mind. "Let me-"
"No. Look, you know I love you," he started again. The pounding in my head was louder now and the lines of Alex's face were starting to blur. "We've had a lot of good times. But the times aren't good for me anymore. You can't stay here. I'm sorry."
I kissed him. I'm not really sure why, because before I could process what I was doing, he'd already pushed me away and wiped the back of his hand against his mouth. My breath probably smelled like a combination of gingivitis and tequila.
"What the fuck, dude?" I heard him yell, but I was already on my way up the street, stopping only to puke in the bushes.

Pfizer, Hisun Establish Chinese Generics JV
Pfizer and China's Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical have established a joint venture, Hisun-Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, to develop, manufacture, and commercialize off-patent drugs in China and global markets. The firms claim off-patent drugs, including branded generics, represent one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical segments globally, and in particular in emerging markets. In China, for example, branded generics account for some 70% of the domestic pharma market.
Hisun-Pfizer will exploit Hisun's product portfolio, broad market outreach, and capabilities in the production and commercialization of branded generics, backed by Pfizer's expertise in R&D manufacturing, international market promotion, and global operations. Hisun says the venture paves the way for its transition from an API manufacturer to an established branded generics firm, and lays a foundation for Chinese pharmaceutical companies to expand into international markets.
"The joint venture demonstrates Pfizer's commitment to China's ongoing healthcare reforms and is an important milestone for Pfizer's efforts to broaden the reach of its world-class healthcare solutions in China," comments Xiaobing Wu, country manager of Pfizer China. "Providing high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare to people over a vast area and from broad socioeconomic levels has become a primary objective of Chinese healthcare reforms, which is aligned with Pfizer's mission to provide high-quality and affordable medicines to our patients."

Nothing is more dreaded today when it comes to health than cancer. In 2007 it brought on the deaths of almost eight million men and women, approximately 13% of the worldwide population. These statistics are anticipated to grow as more men and women are getting close to the critical age whenever cancers are frequently identified. Half a million people are anticipated to get diagnosed with cancer annually.
Pancreatic or prostate, lung or breast, leukemia along with other childhood cancers - those are only the beginning of the types of cancer that can attack any person aboutbonecancer. The factors that can easily cause cancer are varied but there some reaccuring problems which make it more probable like diet and exposure to cigarette smoke aboutbonecancer.com.
When cancer takes place cells have mutated and typically formed a tumor. As the cancer grows the cancer spreads throughout the body through both the lymphatic system and also the blood stream. To prevent cancer from spreading you need to be aware of the subsequent: Early screening can detect cancer quickly enough to treat it. Regular checkups are essential. Once symptoms appear cancer is frequently advanced.
Tests to identify cancer can include genetic testing, MRI, X-rays, CAT scans as well as other imaging tests that are used to spot tumors that are growing inside the body. You'll find several treatment solutions for cancer sufferers. Surgical procedure is on top of the list. This method is most effective when the cancer is clinically diagnosed in early stages with the cancer still localized inside the region where it commenced.
Surgery is an option which works extremely well in cases like early breast cancer. With elimination of the affected spot it helps keep the cancer from spreading. This makes surgical procedure a rather viable option early on. Here are a few other treatments which may be used: Chemotherapy, Hormone therapy, Radiation, Experimental treatments. Cancer is diagnosed in stages with definitive metrics which allow physicians to ascertain how far the cancer has gone. The stage likewise helps determine prognosis. The higher the stage the more the prognosis decreases. This is why early detection is so vital. It can really help towards treatment.

Martin Lawrence
Strange, at this point, that Martin Lawrence was cast back in 1995 in a film called Bad Boys; stranger still, at that point it made sense. He was accused of sexual harassment by his Martin co-star Tisha Campbell, had a rep for crazy behavior on set, got banned from Saturday Night Live and puzzlingly risked his health by jogging in the summer while wearing tons of clothes. Now, though, after a string of family movies (Rebound, College Road Trip) and a filmography consisting of innocuous pap like Wild Hogs, he's taken an Ice Cube-esque path to losing his edge completely. Maybe this Long Beach gig will help the Big Momma's House star return to his foul-mouthed roots; if not, he's still more of a bad boy than Will Smith has ever been, at least.

Tulisa Contostavlos has arrived at Chelmsford Magistrates Court to face assault charges.
Today is the first day of her trial, after the former X Factor judge was accused of punching celebrity blogger Savvas Morgan at V Festival in August last year.
The singer allegedly charged at him in a "drunken and angry state", before physically assaulting him.
She has denied the claims. Her PA, Gareth Varey, was accused of threatening behaviour, which he has also denied.
In February, she and Varey pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Courting Controversy: Tulisa's Biggest Headlines
Courting Controversy: Tulisa's Biggest Headlines
1/11 Tulisa pleaded not guilty to supplying an undercover Sun on Sunday journalist with Class A drug cocaine. The singer claims she was set up and led on by Mazher Mahmood. She was arrested in June 2013.
Getty Images
2/11 In March 2012 Tulisa was stopped going through customs after a suspicious vibration in her luggage. 'Most cringe moment of my life… checkin in "Mam..ur suitcase is vibrating..can u open ur case n turn what eva that is off"..just kill me,' she said on Twitter.
3/11 Every celebrity fears the ultimate scandal: a sex tape leak. And that's exactly what Tulisa faced when phone-captured footage of her and ex-boyfriend MC Ultra engaging in a sex act emerged online. She admitted the woman was her in an emotional YouTube clip.
Getty Images
4/11 "This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman," she famously said after winning a court case for damages over the leak following a court injunction on the distribution of the material.
Getty Images
5/11 National sweetheart Gary Barlow said she had "fag ash breath". Which wasn't very nice. And so, Tulisa hit the headlines once more.
6/11 Tulisa and Kelly Rowland were reportedly at log-a-heads for the majority of the 2011 series after Tulisa called Kelly's biggest hopeful, Misha B, a 'bully' live on air.
7/11 Tulisa got an official warning for her weird arm salute thing, which she did every time she walked onto the The X Factor stage during the 2011 series. Ofcom launched an investigation into whether flashing the 'The Female Boss' tattoo counted as an advertisement for her new perfume of the same name.
8/11 Remember when Tulisa announced she was dating her long-time N-Dubz bandmate Fazer? And then they split up? And then the band split up? The papers do.
9/11 Few things are more awkward and note-worthy than a debut album flop. While single "Young" was a number 1 hit, the subsequent album only debuted at number 35 on the charts, despite her X Factor judging stint.
10/11 Tulisa was branded a "home wrecker" by the pregnant girlfriend of Newcastle player Danny Simpson. The singer began dating the football player in November 2012, but faced a public slanging match with Stephanie Ward, who claimed she was in a relationship with Simpson – and three months pregnant with his child – when the former judge started dating him. Tulisa and Danny's relationship cooled off in May 2013.
11/11 She was snapped in a bikini with the words 'Lucky You' and a shamrock just above her female parts. Reports that she has a tattoo that reads 'Lucky Me' just above her rear are yet to have been confirmed.
"Today [on Wednesday] at court Tulisa and Gareth entered pleas of not guilty to these allegations, and they both look forward to demonstrating their innocence at the forthcoming trial," Jones said following their court appearance.
The trial is expected to end on Friday 24 May.

This game has looked promising from the start, but didn't seem to generate much of a buzz at E3. Hopefully it's not a let down.
The release date is listed as September 2007, so not long to wait.

Hmm the box is cool. Dewy makes it look a little kiddish, but I'll buy the game if it's good. I loved Elebits (also by Konami).
Scooby Jew said:
Now here's some box art I can appreciate. I agree fully with "This game has looks promising from the start", and I hope it withholds that same anticipation until its release and some time afterwards.

Looks potable.

ATF vs Power Steering Fluid?
I bought a bottle of ATF the other night and it says it can be used in the power steering pump. Is that true? Can I use it in my GM pump? What about mixing with whats left in the system?
Hi Mark, Mark here.
I've used Dexron tranny fluid in all my GM cars for over 25 years and never had a problem.
Having said that, the imports are different. I believe that the Hondas require their own PS fluid. If you use ATF in them, the rack, hoses and pump take a huge dump.

The Empire of the Brave
When Jarla ascended to the throne of the kingdom of Greater Mansico, he was only 12. However, he was ambitious, a quality much suited to a great leader. It came as no surprise, that within three years of his coronation, Jarla conquered 72 citadels and 2 whole nations. Within five years, Mansico had multiplied to 8 times its size. Within 10 years, Mansico was an empire, the Empire of the Brave, ruled by the Righteous Emperor Jarla. However, many dissidents had joined to fight the iron fist of Jarla. they called themselves the Black Roses and their aim was to overthrow Emperor Jarla, and give the annexed nations back their independence. They carried out many attempts to politically dispose of Jarla, and when those failed, to assassinate him. They were utterly unsuccessful. Jarla's minister, Lomad, and the chief of the Royal Guard, Sher, were fanatically loyal to Jarla and did everything in their power to keep him on the throne of the Brave. Jarla, infused with the supreme belief that he could conquer everything, began to make advances in the East, on even more powerful nations like Rachido and the Panjim Republic. In the War of Kliokal, Jarla's armies crushed the Rachidian forces. However, they were unable to go beyond the western border of Rachido because of the emergence of a new kind of weapon that the eminent Rachidian scientist, Teslo Kumanne, had invented. It was called a borox-gun, capable of firing concentrated bursts of energy that could track life and destroy it. Jarla realised that he woud be able to advance no further till he could get his hands on borox technology. He commanded his trusted spy, Malkov, to obtain the borox-gun at any costs. However Jarla had made a bad choice, for from here began the downfall of the empire of the Brave

The purpose of this study was to examine in a sample of 11,516 secondary school students the extent to which different behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems (a) reflected one or more underlying common factors; (b) " actually" cooccurred; and (c) were "single" problems. Principal Component Analyses were performed and percentagewise techniques were used. PCA demonstrated that one or more "general syndromes" could not by far account for all of the variance of the variables. The results suggest the existence of adolescent " subgroups" with divergent comorbidity patterns: those who primarily report one "single" symptom; those who report concurrent symptoms either exclusively in the category of behavioral problems or exclusively in the category of emotional and cognitive problems; and those who report concurrent symptoms in both categories. This distinction between different subgroups has important theoretical, diagnostic, and treatment implications.

October 14, 2013 9:59:31 AM
D'IBERVILLE -- More than 7,040 hot rods, antique and classic cars have set a record for the weeklong Cruisin' the Coast festival.
Organizers say that's nearly 1,000 more than last year's record of 6,191 cars driving down U.S. Highway 90, with stops in Bay St. Louis, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Gulfport, and Ocean Springs.
The festival wound up Sunday in Gulfport.
As of Saturday evening, 800 cars had signed up to return in October 2014, Director Woody Bailey told The Sun Herald.
"This is my favorite event," Ocean Springs resident Richard Styron told The Mississippi Press. "I like this better than Mardi Gras. It's a better event. I get off on Friday afternoon, get down here and pretty much spend the whole weekend here.
"I told one of the organizers they should do this twice a year," he added.
Ocean Springs' Cruisin' coordinator Chic Cody called the event "a 100 percent success."
D'Iberville resident Robin Dryden, an hour late to pick up her children at school on Friday, was considerably less enthusiastic.
"Basically just, why can't we move? There's no wreck. The lights are green and people sit through a green light because they're talking to their friend in the car next to them," she told WLOX-TV.
Cruisin' the Coast organizer Woody Bailey said the event brought cars from 44 states -- all but Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Idaho and Hawaii.
With more than 7,000 registered cars, plus an estimated 3,000 unregistered vehicles; he understands that traffic tie-ups can be frustrating.
On the other hand, he feels it's a good problem to have.
"I remember when we did not have any traffic on Highway 90," said Bailey. "So, I like seeing traffic on Highway 90. That means business is wide open on the coast."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Yes but only if the orthotics are better suited to your feet than what is in the shoes off the shelf. Also I think the orthotics are what makes the 2160s so comfy, having switched to them from Nike triax a year ago. Is the physio recommending some off th shelf orthotics are are you getting some custom made ones? I'd be interested to hear how you get on as I may be in the same situation.
By the way when you say 'add orthotics' do you mean swap new ones in? That's the normal thing. You wouldn't put another layer on top of what is in there already (your feet wouldn't fit in for a start).
@nik Its not really for anyone to say if its ok or not. No one knows your feet better than you. If you've had problems when wearing the Asics and the physio thinks you need more firm/ higher support from an orthotic then you should try it
Hi nik,
Potantially any physio you speak to could give you a different opinion, not surprised the head is battered! Generally, i would only use orthotics as a temporary measure and normally as a last resort (in non-surgical treatment/rehab).
Truth is, any trainer (even the most cushioned or motion control trainer) will be absorbing less than 10% of the forces created through your body when running. Now, that 5% could be the difference between getting injured and not getting injured.
But I think a better trade-off can be had by not just looking at feet but the rest of the body as well to see WHY you are 'over-pronating' or have flat-feet.
Feet are supposed to pronate when running, its part of nature's shock absorbtion in the body. Trainer manufacture's and some therapists use the term over-pronation as a diagnosis, but I (amongst others) think its just a symptom for something else.
Tweaking your running style e.g. shorter strides / less heel strike or getting treatment for stiff hips and ankles may do far more for you than any type of trainer or orthotic.
Hope that helps!
2160's have some control - they are not neutral. Orthotics (off the shelf) are cast in neutral and are therefore designed to be worn in a neutral shoe (Cumulus).
But, your physio may have given you a less prescibed and less posted off the shelf orthotic to add to the control the 2160 gives.
The insole in the shoe has no support, nada, zip, zilch.
@nik. Very true! Don't think there will ever be a definitive answer as there can never be a one-size fits all solution (despite what people trying to sell you). ''The path to true knowledge is not knowing all the answers, it's knowing all the questions''
I wore orthotics and stability shoes for 2 years. I showed the podiatrist my shoes and even had gait analysis at the shoe shop. Both told me it was OK to wear them both. Both didn't know their arse from their elbow. Don't wear both, it is over kill. After spending about £300 on an Oesteopath and £hundreds on other investigative measures, a good sports physio, sorted my problem out and gave me a simple solution. Neutral shoes and orthotics.
many thanks Johnny, i think i might go down that route as I've been wearing orthotics and stability shoes and it hasn't sorted the problem as far as i can tell

Blood Crumbs: Chapter 14Mature
After giving Bishop the full non-update, I walked back to the conference room to find Gavin and Thaton scouring the VICAP hits. In front of each of them was a take out container with football-sized burritos in them. Gavin looked up and smiled with a mouthful of eggs motioning his fork to another container.
"Liz got us breakfast burritos."
"Well, Thaton, that was down right hospitable of you," I said sitting down and opening my container.
"You know me." She said distractedly as she turned to a new page. "I saw pointy-face walking out as I came in. Can't mean good news."
"Yeah, as much as I might like to avoid Weston on this one, it looks like he's going to be riding this case pretty hard." I said with a shrug as I made an incision into my burrito. Steam wafted into the air from the cut as eggs, cheese, bacon, ham, and hash browns poured out of it. My mouth was already watering. "I hope you got more sleep than Gavin or I did, Thaton, we're going to need some fresh eyes to stop spinning our wheels on this."
"You sleep?" Thaton said as she squinted at me trying to see something she had missed. "You look like the walking dead."
"Forgo the flattery. If you want to get in my good graces tell me you found something in your digging."
"Unfortunately I came up with more dead ends. Kathy and Steve are neck deep in debt and I don't see them being able to hire out. Apparently the word had also gotten out that Ramirez was a snitch. After he was released no one wanted anything to do with him. I'm putting feelers out, but the guy didn't have many friends. And without friends, he's go no one willing to give us insight on his enemies. The canvas of the apartments hasn't turned up anything close to a witness.
We spent the rest of breakfast in silence as we sifted through papers trying to think of where to go from here. I diligently worked through about three quarters of the burrito before my stomach felt as if it were going to explode. Gavin had barely touched half and Thaton gave us a disgusted look as she finished off the last of hers.
"Next time, I'll order for you guys off the kiddy menu." She said as Gavin gathered up the garbage and tossed it.
"Where the Hell did you store that?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"I don't store any of it. I've got a chipmunk-like metabolism. I eat whatever I feel like and it gets vaporized the moment it hits my intestinal tract. My body kicks ass." She said matter-of-factly.
"You got that right." Gavin mumbled. Then stopped and thought about what he had just said. "I meant that it must kick ass to be able to eat whatever you want, not that you have a kick ass body." He clarified as his cheeks turned a nice shade of red.
Thaton lifted an eyebrow and I laughed.
"Shit. I mean…not that you don't necessarily have a nice looking body, I just, you're like a sister or something."
"O man Gavin, just keep digging that hole." I said as we watched him squirm.
"Or you could change the subject and take the friggin' shovel out of my hands." He sighed and sat back. "Sorry Thaton; please don't kill me."
"Am I interrupting something?" A voice came from the doorway.
I looked over to see Jared standing at the doorway with a file in his hand. He was dressed nicely and his normal wind-blown hairstyle had been gelled down and combed tight against his skull. He looked very official.
"Nothing important." I said, "I take it you've got court today?"
"Yeah, testifying in a hit and run. Figured I'd stop by and hand deliver these to you." He said lifting the files.
"What are those?"
"AFIS hits from the apartment." He said and all of us sat up.
"Our killer left a print?"
"Yeah, like you're going to get that lucky on this one." He said dropping the files in front of me. "Oil residue on the prints is a few weeks old at least on most of them, but I figured it might help if you knew who could've been in the apartment with him in the last few months."
It wasn't much but right now I was struggling to find any leads I could. Beggars can't be choosers.
"Any of them the violent types?"
"Most were collars for drug possessions, but there might have been one with an assault arrest or two on his rap sheet. Six in all."
"I'll take three; Thaton, you take three." I said, "Gavin get back in contact with the warden at Uspen and give him these names. I want to know if any of them had a sentence that coincided with Ramirez's"
They nodded and I looked up at Jared. "Thanks, any word on the tests from the blood spot?"
"I called the lab and they assured me it was placed as a top priority so the DNA tests should come back soon. Around fourteen hours is what it takes from the moment they start the process. The instant I get a hold of it I'll throw it in CODIS and cross our fingers for a hit. All in all, it could take a few more days, but when I know something, you'll know something."
I thanked Jared again and had Gavin go make copies of the hits, then I decided to place a call to Canar's office.
"You must be psychic," He said when I identified myself.
"Jared's down here. His presence reminded me that I hadn't checked up with you either." I said.
"Well, I just found our needle."
"Our needle, as in the needle in the needle-stack?"
"That would be the one. There was inflammation on the corneas and some other subtle indicators like a noticeably sweet smell on him. I ran with a hunch and bingo, tested positive for trichloromethane." He said.
I paused a beat. "It sounds familiar and I'm going to sound stupid when you tell me what that is."
"Trichloromethane is more commonly known as chloroform."
"But if he got chloroformed, wouldn't his attacker had to have gotten close to him while he was still conscious."
"Well close but not as close as you might think. There are no fibers in the nasal cavities that I might find congruent with someone that had a rag pulled over his face. Given the eye irritation and that we found it saturated in his stomach contents, I would say it was sprayed in his face."
"That still doesn't explain why he had no defensive wounds." I said.
"It might if he was intoxicated or on any sort of recreational drugs. Getting sprayed in the eyes would blind him and the moment you breathe chloroform things get pretty hazy. He'd be unconscious fairly quickly.
"So you're sure about this?"
"As sure as I'm going to get; unless our guy was chloroforming himself recreationally. You can also make it official that a scalpel is congruent with the murder weapon used."
I thanked Canar and hung up after the usual 'keep me informed' speech. Jared was standing over one of the VICAP hits.
"Can't say serial offender didn't cross my mind, either." He said distractedly.
"Just a hunch," I said.
"Anything to it?"
"Not that we could find." I admitted.
"A serial killer in Sandy. Now that would be interesting." He said thoughtfully.
"Interesting might be one word for it."
"Yeah terrible and all that, but a unique experience I'm sure."
"You give me the creeps sometimes." I said as Thaton walked back in and handed me a file.
"He gives me the creeps all the time." Thaton added, "But that's mainly because you look a little like Herman from The Munsters and that guy scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid. I've got nothing against your world views."
Jared laughed. "I liked Herman Munster, so I'll take that as a compliment. And I grew up as a science geek Burton, I'm pretty used to people thinking I'm weird by now."
"Well I'd love to stay and reminisce about crappy TV shows and haunting childhood memories, but you have a court date and we have a killer to catch." I said gathering up my things.
A few minutes later, I was getting in my car with a fresh cup of coffee when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and sighed. I could tell this day was going to be another in a long line of bad days.
"Hey Brian, what's up?" I asked clicking the 'Send' button.
"Not much George. Pretty much just have this homicide that's nipping at my ass." Came Weston's nasally voice. "I just talked to my guy Gary and I know the sound of a non-update when I hear it. You guys blowing me off?"
I rolled my eyes Trying to, but you're making it difficult. I thought.
"No, of course not Brian. Unfortunately there's just not much to update you on. To be frank here we've got a case that would've been set on the back burner in most other cities." I said. "We've got a druggy and a snitch, a guy real low on the societal ladder here and it's been like wading through a swamp to find anything on him."
"What can I do?" He asked.
"Nothing at the moment. I know you want this guy and trust me, I want him too. I've got all my guys working their asses off to get him, but we just need time."
"Alright. I'm trusting you on this." He said, "Good luck."
He hung up and I shook my head, good luck indeed. I rummaged around in my glove compartment and found my bottle of antacids.
We spent the next few days in a near fruitless search for the current whereabouts of our six felons. I finally tracked down two of them who were in the system. Both had been arrested and were down at Uspen, they had been there three and four weeks, respectively. The third man, Jimmy Harris, was a parolee who had disappeared. Even his parole officer didn't remember him well. Turned out that he had put in a parole transfer and moved to California. I found his new PO and got confirmation that Jimmy hadn't left California for any amount of time within the last three weeks. Neither Thaton nor Gavin had much luck from their inquiries either, and as the week winded down I still felt lost. I needed to clear my head.
I called Isaac and set dinner plans at a local steak house and told him to meet me there in thirty minutes. I just had to hope Canar or Jared would be able to shed some more light on things soon.

As a session guitarist who looks like the son of most of the acts he plays with (Peter Bruntnell, the Pretenders, the Pogues, the Pernice Brothers), it's hard not to notice Walbourne if you're lucky enough to have caught him live.
In that setting, he seems like a star who shuns the spotlight. Now stepping into it in his own right, expecations are high and, perhaps, there will be an element of disappointment: expect solid singer-songwriter fare rather than fancy fingered fireworks.

Element Defense doesn't pretend to be what it isn't. It's a defense game, quite simple if I may, based on a tiled board in where enemies show up at the leftmost and try to get to your castle at the other edge of the screen. You can place your own towers to beat them down before they harm you, and these towers can be upgraded. Yes, it's like any other standard defense game.
Fortunately, there are a few original features. Although you can only choose between three "towers", which are indeed a warrior, a mage and a ranger, every one has his own skill tree to be upgraded. Just to let you get the picture, for example the mage can unlock up to five different magic branches (one for each element plus darkness). Graphics are 3D rendered, perhaps not high quality at all, but at least not cartoony sprites as we are so badly used to. Anyway, don't forget to invoke your dragon if things get out of hand.
When the lite version was seriously restricted, this complete version comes with all the features, towers and levels.

Privately owned Swiss insurer Infrassure has placed itself in run-off. In an announcement, it said it will cease to underwrite any new business.
The insurer said it had informed the Swiss insurance regulator, FINMA and it will continue with the active de-risking programme already commenced at the end of 2012.
"This decision was taken in light of the significant reduction in premium volume this year," said Infrassure. "Furthermore, the company will undergo a substantial restructuring of the business and organisation.
"Management and shareholders regret the upheaval to customers and staff. We wish to thank you for believing in the focused business model of applying engineering expertise to the underwriting and claims handling of complex industrial risks. The reduced group which remains will wind-down the in-force business in a professional and straightforward manner."

Persistence: support property databaseType ------------------------------------------ Key: JCR-1836 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1836 Project: Jackrabbit Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Thomas Mueller Assignee: Thomas Mueller Priority: Minor In persistence managers and cluster journal the term 'schema' is used to mean 'database type'. Using the term 'schema' for that is actually quite confusing (in my view): The definition of schema http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema is "the schema defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships between fields and tables." Additionally in most databases a schema is is a name space within a database: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getSchemas() . I suggest to support the property 'databaseType' in addition to 'schema' for the persistence managers and the cluster journal. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
