Trigg County Hospital recently broke ground on a highly anticipated expansion project for an outpatient surgical addition to the facility.
The groundbreaking ceremony in Cadiz marked the official beginning of construction, although the contractor, A&K Construction of Paducah, has been working there a few weeks, according to Janet James, public relations manager.
"The expansion is funded by a $7.3 million loan from the United States Department of Agriculture," said James. The loan also paid a portion of the cost to renovate the Health & Wellness Center, which houses the hospital's Primary Care Clinic and outpatient rehabilitation services, James said. A $500,000 Community Development Block Grant also helped with the center expansion.
According to James, the Health & Wellness Center renovations are complete, while the surgical addition on the hospital's main campus is scheduled to open in the spring of 2015. The surgical center will offer a variety of outpatient procedures.
Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation is the newest service offered at Trigg County Hospital.
"Pulmonary rehabilitation involves a number of health care providers working together to improve the lives of those with breathing problems," James said. "Patients are encouraged to ask their health care provider if this service might be right for them."
Services offered involve a multi-disciplinary team focusing on exercise conditioning, strength training, activities of daily living, breathing retraining, education and emotional support for pulmonary patients. For more information on this service, call 270-522-0627.
Dr. Julie Forbush, D.O., is the newest physician at Trigg County Hospital. As a family physician, Forbush treats patients of all ages. Her office is located in the Medical Arts Building on the hospital's main campus.
Her practice includes osteopathic manipulation, sports medicine, women's health, children's health and a full spectrum of minor surgical procedures along with general health maintenance and management. Call 270-522-3444 for more information.
According to the Kentucky Hospital Association, local facilities like Trigg County Hospital are vital to their communities not only for services they provide, but for their contribution to the economy. In 2012, Trigg County Hospital spent nearly $7.7 million on employee wages and salaries and purchases of supplies and services, according to KHA.
Trigg County Hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital at 254 Main St. The hospital offers inpatient and outpatient services including 24-hour emergency care, radiologic services including digital mammography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI, rehabilitation services for speech, occupational and physical therapies, primary care clinic, diagnostic lab procedures, respiratory care services and an outpatient behavioral health program.

Jan 20, 2014 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorTwo days after suffering a heartbreaking 50-49 boys basketball loss to Riverton High School, Lander Tigers coach Terry Hopkin knew his players wanted to start a new winning streak.
The Tigers jumped back onto the winning track with a 53-40 win Saturday night against Mountain View in a Class 3-A West road contest.
"It's always good to come away with a win," Hopkin said. "We played hard in Riverton, and we didn't have a whole lot of legs left. After practice on Friday night, I was hoping that we would show up a little bit and have enough strength at Mountain View, which is a tough place for us to play. They gave a great effort."
Lander is now 10-2 on the season and remains undefeated in conference play.
"It was a packed house at Mountain View," Hopkin said. "There was a lot of screaming and yelling. It was a great atmosphere."
The Tigers play Thursday night at Pinedale to continue their conference schedule.
Lander 53, Mountain View 40
The Tigers outscored Mountain View 20-8 in the first period.
"We got after them in the first quarter," Hopkin said.
Mountain View stormed back in the second quarter to take the momentum away at 13-10, but Lander was up 30-21 at the break.
"Mountain View made a heck of a run at us just before halftime," Hopkin said. "We were trying to get back into a good rhythm."
The pace slowed down in the third period, but the Tigers outscored Mountain View 8-5.
"It was a pretty tough three quarters for us," Hopkin said. "They stayed right with us."
Lander iced the game in the fourth quarter after hitting 10 free throws.
"We managed to come ahead," Hopkin said. "I thought that our kids finished really well."
Cooxooei Black tallied 16 points, and Jess Oldman scored 12. Hunter Bregar had double-digit numbers at 10. Jaxon Hedges added eight points, and Casey Winger recorded seven.
"It was a pretty well-rounded scoring," Hopkin said.
Winger guarded Mountain View's top scorer Austin Housekeeper, holding him to 10 points.
Riverton 50, Lander 49
The Tigers controlled the paced of the game most of the way Thursday in their cross-county matchup against Class 4-A Riverton. LVHS led 38-28 after three quarters.
But Riverton woke up behind the play of junior guards Brandon Fullerton and Chris Quayle, erupting for 22 points in the fourth quarter. With the Tigers trailing by one point with three seconds left, Hopkin drew up a play during a timeout. But Riverton defended it well, and the Tigers didn't get a good shot.
Lander was hurt by the loss of point guard Marvin Aragon, who lost two teeth during a collision in the first quarter, and by the loss of Jaxon Hedges to fouls in the fourth quarter.
Lander 9 16 13 11 -- 49
Riverton 8 11 9 22 -- 50

HAMPSTEAD – After receiving more information than they could process at their first meeting of the month, the Hampstead Library Trustees postponed a decision on whether to heat the library with propane or oil until their June 19 meeting. The library is in need of new furnaces.
At the meeting Wednesday, June 5, Library Director Deb Hiett presented information from the U.S. Department of Energy and the New Hampshire Energy Efficiency Office.
The board discussed the two fuel options relative to comparative cost and efficiency estimates, and decided that furnace cleaning and maintenance had to be factored in.
The board also discussed options for placement of a propane tank – above ground versus in-ground – if the decision is made to change from the current oil to propane.
In other business:
• Hiett said the first floor copy machine has more maintenance issues. She provided the Trustees with data on a leasing option, which includes annual maintenance. Trustee Treasurer Emily Reschberger made a motion to lease a Sharp Digital Imager from Wells Fargo. The machine will be serviced by United Business Machines. The board approved the motion unanimously.
• The Trustees voted to accept $38.50 from the donation jar, as well as assorted used books, audios and videos from various individuals, and several gifts from organizations – the Hampstead Civic Club gave $650 for an aquarium pass, the Hampstead Lions Club donated $500 for large print books and audiobooks, the Hampstead Mothers' Club gave $27.50 for baby books, and Friends of the Library provided $204 for a Charmingfare Farm museum pass.

Malian troops hunted house-to-house in Gao today for Islamist insurgents whose attack inside the northern town at the weekend showed the risk that French forces might become entangled in a messy guerrilla war.
Sneaking across the Niger River under cover of darkness, the al-Qa'ida-allied rebels fought Malian and French troops in the streets of the ancient Saharan trading town yesterday, retaken from the Islamists two weeks ago.
Malian Defence Minister Yamoussa Camara said three of the Islamist raiders were killed and 11 taken prisoner, while some Malian soldiers were wounded in the street fighting.
The brazenness of the rebel raid, which followed successive blasts by two suicide bombers at a northern checkpoint, was a surprise to the French-led military operation in Mali which had so far faced little real resistance from the Islamists.
"They took advantage of the two suicide attacks on Saturday and Sunday to infiltrate the town," Camara told a news conference in Bamako. "With young people desperate over their future, it is possible to take them and indoctrine them to the point of sacrificing their own lives."
A doctor in Gao's hospital, Noulaye Djiteyi, said three civilians were killed and 11 wounded. The casualties were hit by stray bullets in the gunbattle.
The attack indicated that the French forces, which number 4,000 soldiers on the ground, were vulnerable to hit-and-run attacks by the jihadists to the rear of their forward lines.
French and Malian officials in Gao said the risks of infiltration, shootings and bomb blasts remained high.
"The Malians are checking house-by-house, block-by-block," a French officer, who asked not to be named, told reporters.
French and Malian soldiers in armoured vehicles reinforced locations and sandbagged road checkpoints at the entrances to the town, alert for further attacks from bands of Islamist insurgents reported hiding in the surrounding desert scrub.
France intervened in Mali last month as Islamist forces, who had seized control of the north in the confusion following a military coup in March 2012, advanced on the capital Bamako.
That had pushed Mali to the forefront of US and European security concerns, with fears the Islamists would turn the country into a base for international attacks.
French leaders have said they intend to start pulling troops out of Mali in March, and want to hand over security operations to a larger, 8,000-strong African military force currently still being assembled and drawn mostly from West African states.
But this African contingent is still struggling to deploy in positions behind the French, raising the risk that Paris' forces could face "mission creep" and be obliged to stay on longer to guarantee security in the face of rebel guerrilla tactics.
"There is no doubt that the Islamists will find weak spots," Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies, told Reuters.
"Now it becomes all complex and messy," he added.
President Francois Hollande acknowledged that France's military still had more work to do before it achieved its aim of ousting the al Qaeda-linked groups from all of northern Mali.
"We have not finished our task," Hollande said in Paris, after meeting with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan. "There is a risk of either attacks or guerilla tactics so we need to continue to securitise all of Mali's territory."
Gao's main market was bustling on Monday but crowds gathered to look at the wrecked police station building where the jihadist raiders, some on motorbikes, firing AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades, fought French and Malian troops.
Witnesses said bodies still lay in the dusty streets, some apparently rebels, others civilians caught by stray bullets.
"I passed by the police station and I saw shredded corpses inside. There are three victims from stray bullets," local resident Ibrahim Toure told Reuters.
After driving the bulk of the insurgents from northern towns such as Timbuktu and Gao, France has been focusing its operations on Mali's remote northeast mountains, where French special forces and Chadian troops are hunting rebel bases.
They believe the rebels are holding at least seven French hostages, previously seized in the Sahel, in hideouts in the Adrar des Ifoghas range that straddles the Mali-Algeria border.

Prescott High School, 1220 St. Croix St., Prescott, WI 54021, 715.262.5389, Fax: 715.262.4888
Leader: Carrie Fisher, email@example.com
The High School Volunteer Group tries to expose students to a wide variety of volunteering experiences. We find opportunities in our own community, as well as surrounding communities and in the downtown metro area – collectively serving an array of populations. Volunteering is a positive, rewarding experience. This group's goal is to introduce as many students as possible to these experiences. Volunteering is also required for many scholarships, college applications, etc.
Students are welcome to join the group anytime throughout the school year, and may participate in as many activities as they choose. We try to do a number of projects – most of which are a one-time commitment. Students choose which projects they want to volunteer for. There might be two things all year that they are interested in, or there may be 15 – it's okay to volunteer as much or as little as they want.
The Volunteer Group is open to all 9th-12th graders. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7:45 in Mrs. Champlin's room (lower level next to Guidance offices).
At the meetings we talk about possible upcoming projects…it is best to attend a meeting to get the details. If you can't attend one of the meetings, the sign-up sheets will be posted on the bulletin board (located downstairs by the weight room), and you can sign-up on those.
Past/Possible Projects: Pumpkin Carving with elementary students, Trick-or-Treat for the Food Shelf, Raking Lawns for Senior Citizens, Salvation Army Toy Shop, "Unstuff the Bus" (KS95 toy drive), Gillette Children's Hospital - crafts with patients/siblings, collecting Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald Houses, Operation Christmas Child, and many more! New ideas and opportunities are always welcome.
For more information, see Mr. Peterson in the H.S. Guidance Office (262-5389) or Carrie Fisher in the High School Library (262-5463, ext 3201).

"The Air Force Academy has set aside an outdoor worship area for Pagans (The term Pagan generally refers to all religions that are not in the Abrahamic (Pertaining to Abraham, the patriarch; as, the Abrahamic covenant) category, the monotheistic faiths.), Wiccans "(Wicca is a modern Pagan religious movement. The other theological positions within Wicca range from monotheism to atheism). "Druids" (A Druid, they performed human sacrifices in the past, were members of the priestly class in Britain, Ireland, and Gaul, and possibly other parts of Celtic western Europe, during the Iron Age) "and other Earth-centered believers, school officials said Monday."
Separation of Church and State is arguably not a Constitutional mandate. Yet there is a continuing effort to take "Christ" out of Christmas, "God" off of our fiat money and out of our Pledge of Allegiance. Maybe someday it will be extracted from "God Damn" whatever. First one must dilute our religious moral core, once Judeo-Christian", any religion that does not cause or advocate "harm" will do, then suppress any spirituality in order to repress Conservatism and diminish America (radical progressivism).
"All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class (reverse racism) has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition (closer to Fascism and Communism-the end product of socialism) made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment (entitlement) – professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists – and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic." This is the ascendancy of the "takers" over the "makers."
William F Buckley saw it coming in 1951. Buckley saw the danger of collectivism (another "ism"). So he authored "God and Man at Yale (now the Air Force Academy): The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom" a prediction of serious problems, coming true, of the trajectory and nature of modern conservatism.
Buckley concluded in 1951, a fact today, that academia denied its students any sense of individualism pushing them, like the New York Times article (hyperlink above) 11/27/2011 "The Future of the Obama Coalition", Thomas Edsall, by pushing "takers" into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a "Progressive Lite" label….or what as "Congress is Useless" all about?
And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of "academic freedom". Collectivism and totalitarianism were associated with Josef Stalin and Mao Tse-tung. Would not our institutions of higher education, (maybe not), dismiss proponents of racism, anti-Semitism, communism (well, except Van Jones), homophobia, Nazism and Islamophobia? And if so, appropriately, this is not academic freedom!
Religion and Economics is at the core our discontent. Intertwined Buckley said "That the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world."
"I further believe that the struggle between "individualism and collectivism is the same struggle (the duel between Christianity and atheism) reproduced on another level." This is found in the Preface to "God and Man at Yale (now the Air Force Academy): The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom"
Back in 1951 Buckley maintained that Ivy League Ivory Towers did not, nor do they now, teach a fair and balanced view of laissez-faire economics. This is the essence of Objectivism and Individualism.
Rather there is a hard core "indoctrination" of Keynesian economics, thoroughly communalist. Thus, today, through President Obama policies, it is leading us down that slippery slope to collectivism. LAT OP-ED11/27/11, A36 "God and man and William F. Buckley." By Carl T. Bogus
Thus shoot the messenger, William F. Buckley, ignore the evolution of individualism to socialism, the attack on Judeo-Christian spirituality or any religion that abhors "harm to others", and the rise of atheism in mild but ever more increasing radical forms, now invading The Air Force Academy.

A Canadian man has become the first person in the country to be charged with allegedly molesting a child in a live internet broadcast.
Cory Lee Nelson, 36, appeared in court on Tuesday and was charged with five counts, including transmitting child pornography and sexual assault related to an April 3 internet broadcast of a man molesting a young girl.
"This is extremely unusual, this case," prosecutor Steven Bilodeau told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. "This is the first where the allegations are that a child was being molested live on the internet."
"When you see child pornography on the internet, you have to remember this is a child being sexually abused and that abuse is being photographed."
The Alberta resident was arrested after police received a tip from a woman in the US state of Missouri on April 4 who witnessed the broadcast on a computer at the home of an acquaintance, police said.
The unidentified woman provided police in western Canada with enough details to locate the suspect and place him at the scene of the crime in Calgary when the alleged offense took place. Officials from the US Department of Homeland Security were also involved in the case.
Meanwhile, Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler promised tougher sentences for child pornographers in proposed legislation.
"This is a very good bill for all those who care, and should care, about protecting children against child pornographers," he told reporters outside the House of Commons on Tuesday.
The proposed legislation increases maximum sentences from six to 18 months in jail and broadens the definition of child porn to include published stories and audio recordings. It would also prohibit child porn advertising.
Mr Nelson is free on $C2000 dollars ($A2088) bail, although his computer has been seized by police. He will return to court on July 5 to enter a plea.

De La Rosa Bros headline!
By Jose Reyes
This Saturday, Peacemaker Promotions will present an eight-bout fight card billed as "Sons of The Valley" in the South Texas hotbed of boxing known as the Rio Grande Valley, Texas at the Harlingen Field ( White Wing Baseball Stadium ). The main event features the return of Harlingen's own and former NBC's "The Contender" participant, JP "El Gallo Negro" De La Rosa (19-2-1, 15 KOs) who makes his return back to the ring after a year absence when he faces Guadalupe "Man of Steel" Martinez (16-2, 9 KOs) in a battle of middleweights. The co-main event has JP's younger sibling, up and coming welterweight prospect and former WBC Youth welterweight champion "King" James De La Rosa (18-0, 12 KOs) versus Marteze Logan (26-35-2, 6 KOs).

Sipa-Oat 35 is suitable for making a 100% vegetable oats drink without lactose, cholesterol and added sugar. The ingredient is part of the firm's Sipal range, which also includes a range of rice-based concentrates.
"It is very simple to formulate, all you have to do is dilute the concentrate with some water and add a few ingredients (oil, emulsifier, flavours, etc) to obtain an oats drink that is ready for processing," it says.


text: Jackass meets Blind Date meets X Factor in fairy tale costumes - introducing E4's new dating show My Little Princess promises hair-raising challenges, gallantry, catapults AND an X Factor-style power ballad sing-off... how can this not be a television mega hit? Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 5:00 PM, 20 November 2012 How far would you go to win a date with the girl of your dreams? Would you volunteer as a human catapult? Brave filthy cesspits and terrifying electric fences? Encounter mind-reading wizards and engage in deadly water battles on desolate lakes? If the answer to all of the above is yes, then maybe you should be checking into a psychiatric unit - or alternatively you might be interested in applying for E4's newly-commissioned "high concept fantasy action game show for dating", My Little Princess (not to be confused with a Disney film...) Each episode of the show will feature eight eager male suitors - or 'princes' - hitching a ride to a fairy tale kingdom to win the heart of a single fair maiden. But the path to true love does not run smoothly, as each girl's doting father - the King - stands in their way... In order to win a date with daddy's Little Princess, the young hopefuls must brave a series of "hair-raising" challenges to weed out the weak - leaving just two princes to face a grand finale. After the bravery demonstrated thus far, what could possibly come between the candidates and their beloved? Isn't it obvious?! A power ballad sing-off. Taking a leaf out of The X Factor's book, the two remaining suitors will engage in battle as they pitt their dulcet tones against one another. Can they use their sweet melodies to melt the heart of their princess? "My Little Princess is a truly out of this world entertaining and innovative format," said Channel 4 Features Commissioning Editor, Kate Teckman. "It is what the fairy tale kingdom of E4 is all about." "This is the craziest and most dangerous dating show that has ever been produced," added executive producer Gary Monaghan. "Imagine if Jackass made Blind Date dressed in fairy tale costumes and you might get the picture. "We've got witches, wizards, evil jesters, human catapults, talking horses and boys being thrown off bridges into a lake for being rubbish." If you can't wait for the eight hour-long episodes packed full of "gallant", "intelligent" and "determined" princes risking life and limb for true love then fear not, the series will begin airing on E4 in January 2013. Admit it, you'll be tuning in... Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Shack of shacks
Shack of shacks
The shack was built from the wreckage of a boat that ran onto the reef a year or so back (the beach is still littered with lumber that Kismet said was from the wreck) and it simply makes a good spot to kick back and have a drink on a round-island trip.
There's new budget accommodation going in nearby, so could be worth a look in as an isolated place to stay by the time you read this.

Does Hit-Boy Have New Music On The Way With Dr. Dre & Drake?
A few years ago, Hit-Boy was a virtually unknown producer. Now the Grammy-winning beat maker is doing all he ever dreamed of. That includes recently chilling with one of his producing idols, Dr Dre. So, is the Hip Hop Since '87 head honcho on tap to work on the elusive Detox album? "They didn't want me to give any information about it…[Me and Dre] just kicked it," said Hit-Boy in a recent interview with HardKnockTV. "I played him a couple things. I'm not saying we are working together or anything. We just vibed. That was just an amazing thing to have somebody of that caliber, somebody who I genuinely studied as a student of music, to be there co-singing some stuff I was doing," he added saying Dre even autographed his copy of The Chronic.
Hit-Boy has worked with a who's who of powerhouse industry artists during his meteoric rise. One major player who he has failed to get an album placement with is Drake. The "All Me" rapper recently mentioned that he and Hit-Boy have some records together that didn't make the cut for his album, Nothing Was The Same. Hit-Boy confirmed the existence of the songs but said whether the public gets to hear them or not is on Drizzy. "That's 100 percent up to Drake," he said, "but I just know that shit is awesome. It's all in what his vision is. Whatever he want to do with the songs. He knows what his plans are and what he want to do. I'm just here to help bring his vision musically."
Check out the entire interview, below.

Nine bystanders were reportedly wounded in the gunfight, which took place outside a building belonging to the ultra-Orthodox Yeshivat Ateret Cohanim, a Jewish religious school in the Old City's Muslim quarter.
According to Israeli police and rescue services, the assailant, thought to be about 20, snatched the weapon from the guard and shot him. The man then fled but was chased by another guard.
The two briefly exchanged fire before the Palestinian was killed, police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
The security guards are employed by the Israeli government to protect Jewish families who live in the Muslim quarter, which lies in East Jerusalem and houses sites holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians.
East Jerusalem has been occupied by Israel since 1967 but the international community does not recognise its annexation.
Palestinians hope to establish their capital there but Israel claims the entire city.

Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016
Keyboard the best part of PC while playing it should stand strong and good quality Though you may naturally associate the keyboard with the mundane, it's an essential piece to the puzzle if you're gaming on PC. Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016.
Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016
10. Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL
Topre switches greatly for typing
Cherry MX compatible keycaps
Bland design
No backlighting
Cooler Master's NovaTouch TKL is billed as a typing, rather than gaming keyboard. As such, it misses out on standard features such as backlighting and macro keys.
However, it's unique in a number of departments which makes it the contender, one that's also excellent for productivity work. It's the first affordable keyboard to use top switches, which are linear in nature and elicit a satisfying clunk when you "bottom out" (or strike the keys all the way down).
9. G.Skill Ripjaws KM780 RGB
Macro keys
Comfortable typing position
Design is a bit busy
Media keys feel cheap
G.Skill threw its hat into the peripherals ring recently with impressive results. Its Ripjaw KM780 RGB gaming keyboard may not have a snappy name, but its Cherry MX Red key switches, dedicated macro keys, and foldable mouse cable holder add up to make one fully-fledged gaming mech.
8. Speedlink Ultor
Responsive switches
Compact design
Busy color scheme
Can't change blue backlighting
Adding a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard to your gaming arsenal can give you more precious mouse space on a desk. Speedlink's Ultra is a compact TKL mechanical keyboard that uses Keith's Red Switches, rather than Cherry's more popular MX variant.
7. Division Zero X40
Thick top covers
Clicky or silent keys
Side positioned macro keys
No volume wheel
Better known for producing some impressive professional keyboards, the X40 comes as part of Das Keyboard's new Division Zero gaming lineup.
Available with clicky (or optionally silent) tactile keys, Das utilizes its own custom made Alpha-Zulu switches that have a very similar feel to Cherry MX Red keys.
6. SteelSeries Apex M500
Minimal design
Attractive blue backlighting
No media keys
Cherry MX Reds only
Many mechanical keyboards aimed are gamers err on the ostentatious side, but not the SteelSeries Apex M500. Like the Logitech G810, the Apex M500 eschews unnecessary bells and whistles in favor of clean design and bare essentials.
While it's lacking media keys, macros, and other such extras, this brings the benefit of a compact design that wastes no space.
5. Logitech G810
Satisfying Romer-G switches
Minimal design
RGB backlighting
No USB pass-through ports
Logitech has followed up its Orion Spark G910 mechanical keyboard with the G810, which arrives with a refreshingly grown-up feel. Sporting Logitech's own
Sporting Logitech's own Romer-G switches, which aren't quite as squishy as Cherry's various switches, the G810 possesses a snappier feel than other gaming keyboards whether typing or gaming.
Featuring smart media keys that work equally well on both Windows and OS X, Logitech's latest keyboard is a solid all-around offering.
4. Cherry MX-Board 6.0
Excellent typing feel
Comfortable low profile
Lacks extra features
Cherry's flagship MX Board 6.0 features a lower profile than other gaming keyboards like the Razer BlackWidow X Chroma, making it perfect if you prefer to type and game using a wrist rest.
Cherry's MX Red switches under the keys lend the MX Board 6.0 fast response times, but because the keys are positioned fairly close together they're excellent for typing too.
3. SteelSeries Apex M800
Responsive, low-travel keys
RGB lighting
Macro keys
Typing takes some getting used to
Plasticky build
Billed as the fastest keyboard in the west (and the rest of the world for that matter), the Apex M800 feels different to type on than just about every other keyboard out there.Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016
That's because of its QS1 key switch, which is incredibly responsive due to its 1.5mm key travel and 45cN actuation force. Its low travel and linear nature lend it a similar feel to Cherry MX Reds, only requiring less effort to strike each key.
2. Razer Ornata
Tactile and clicky actuation
Lighting flows like multi-color lava
Magnetic plush wrist rest
Short key throw won't jive with everyone
For too long there's been a divide between mechanical and membrane keys but now Razer has finally brought the two together with its "Mecha-Membrane' Ornate keyboard. These new switches pull from everything Razer has learned over the years.
The result is a grand typing experience with shorter keys, the tactile feel of the green switches from the Blackwidow X Chroma and a loud audible click.Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016.
1. Corsair K70 RGB Rapidfire
Super-responsive keys
Beautiful RGB lighting
Overly sensitive for typing
Heightened keys require a wrist rest
Corsair's K70 RGB Rapidfire keyboard is all about speed. Featuring Cherry's new linear MX Speed Switch, its keys are highly responsive and take only a slight movement of the finger to press them down. The switch actuates at just 1.2mm, with a light actuation force of 45g.
With a feeling like typing on super-sensitive Cherry MX Reds, which are a sensitive key switch anyway, they're not very suitable for long typing sessions.Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016
Top 10 Best Gamming Keyboard of 2016
However, we do recognize that everyone games on a budget, and some of us prefer compact peripherals that take up less space and are easy to travel with. No worries, though, as we've taken all of this into account in this extensive yet definitive guide to the best keyboards on the market.

text: While visiting Australia earlier this year, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wanted to visit a theme park with their kids. Unable or unwilling to do so during regular business hours, they convinced Dreamworld to stay open late four separate nights and in return for the privilege promised to make a donation to the wildlife fund of the park. According to the Courier Mail no such donation has ever been received and the park is ticked off because they had to pay salaries and extra expenses of all the workers who stayed late those four nights. I'm surprised this made it out publicly. You would think the park would have been in touch with the same people who arranged the four visits and asked for the donation. Brad and Angelina don't like this kind of negative publicity so I expect someone will get fired. If Brad and Angelina make a financial commitment, they usually follow through.

It wasn't "the big one." But last month's earthquake in Napa County put local residents' and responders' earthquake action plans – including PG&E's – to their biggest test in 25 years. And it proved once again that, more than anything else, it's what we do before disaster strikes that determines what happens in the hours and days afterward.
As if on cue, National Preparedness Month kicked off this week. No matter where we live in California, it's an opportunity to think about what more we need to do – at home with our families, at work and in our communities – to be ready for the next big quake.
For PG&E, this means working to make our infrastructure as resilient as it can be. We know that in a disaster, restoring vital services like electricity and natural gas as quickly as possible is critical to keeping the public safe and getting communities back on their feet. I want our customers to know they can count on PG&E to do that.
The Napa quake showed that the steps we've been taking to bolster our systems and improve technology in recent years are paying off. Efforts like pipeline upgrades and work to modernize power lines and substations helped minimize damage. Meanwhile, technology including computer modeling and smart meters sped up our ability to respond. For example, minutes after the event, we had computer estimates of where and how many customers would be affected, which let us immediately start mobilizing teams and materials. We were also able to search for gas leaks much faster using super-sensitive leak detection equipment mounted on vehicles.
Thanks to these investments and other efforts such as regular trainings with local first responders to prepare for emergencies, our crews in Napa were set up for success. Their work allowed us to get all 70,000 customers who lost power back up and running in about 24 hours.
Ultimately, though, planning and preparation by PG&E is only part of the picture. We want to help everyone in the communities we serve to be sure you're ready to make it safely through an earthquake or other major disaster. In the spirit of National Preparedness Month, here are some steps you can take if you haven't already:
• Prepare an emergency plan and conduct an emergency drill with your family.
• Pack and maintain an emergency preparedness kit with enough supplies to be self-sufficient for at least three days and preferably up to one week.
• Know when and how to turn off electricity, water and gas at the main switch and valves at your home.
You can find more information on disaster preparedness and electric and gas safety at PG&E's website, www.pge.com/safety—including a reminder about the importance of calling 811 to have underground utility lines located and marked before you do any digging projects. We also recommend the resources and advice available from the American Red Cross at www.redcross.org.
At PG&E, our number one job is protecting the public and our employees. We can achieve that only when we're working with our customers to think ahead about safety every day and in everything we do.
— Barry Anderson/PG&E, Vice President, emergency preparedness and response

Mobile security and operations continues to be one of the hottest topics for organizations across industries. Mobility holds the promise of fostering new innovations, reaching new audiences and, most importantly, creating never-before-seen user experiences and business opportunities. For example, productivity gains brought on by "anytime", "anywhere", "any device" access are already revolutionalizing customer service, collaboration, and supply chain management, and many other aspects of business processes.
But delivering what mobile promises in a secure and safe way is a difficult proposition today. The mobile technology ecosystem is changing a million miles a minute: many technologies are still maturing, which led to a fragmented and semi-technology market. As a result, Security & Risk (S&R) and Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) professionals struggle to enforce consistent IT security and operations policies in this new environment where mobile devices have become the norm and customers and employees alike have come to expect certain business functions delivered over the mobile channel, regardless of the risk.
The Mobile Security & Operations Playbook contains content designed specifically for IT security and operations professionals to address these challenges. The playbook covers four key strategy aspects: 1) Discover: articulate the value of mobile security and operations in business terms; 2) Plan: set the strategy for mobile security operations; 3) Act: execute the strategy; and 4) Optimize: measure and optimize mobile security operations. To see a high level overview of the playbook, download the executive overview report.

Applying for the Scholarship? Here are the details
Funding — You can receive up to three years of financial support Scholarship levels are US$2,000, US$2,000 and US$3,000 for the first, second and third years respectively. As long as you continue to meet the criteria, you'll continue to receive the scholarship each year. After your supplemental information has been approved, a check & certificate will be sent to a faculty member at your school. The faculty member will ensure that the funds are provided to the financial aid office for credit to your account.
Eligibility — You can apply for the PES Scholarship as early as your first year in college. First year students are very much encouraged to apply. You are eligible to receive the scholarship if:
- You'll consider a career in electric power and energy engineering.
- You'll be working toward an electrical engineering bachelor's degree (or first professional degree).
- You'll be a full-time student in the coming academic year at a university or college in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or Canada that offers undergraduate courses in power engineering. The university or college must have an ABET-accredited, 4-year electrical engineering program. The subjects of typical power engineering courses can be viewed here.
- You're willing to take at least three of the power engineering courses for a total of nine or more credits.
- You're a U.S., Puerto Rican, or Canadian citizen or permanent resident and reside in IEEE Regions 1 through 7.
- You're currently enrolled full-time at a university/college or community college.
- Your current GPA is 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent).
Selection — Selection for first-year PES scholarships is competitive. Your scholarship award application will be ranked based on these factors:
- Academic performance (based on overall GPA)
- The alignment of your technical and personal interests with the power and energy engineering field
- Your personal strengths (such as achievements, volunteer activities, work experience, your endorsement letter, etc.)
- Strength of your academic program (based on the institution's overall power and energy engineering curriculum)
You'll have to reapply to receive the scholarships for the second and third year but as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements, including having had a career experience, you'll continue to receive the scholarship in those years.
Renewal — After you have been awarded your first year scholarship, you'll be invited to reapply each year until you graduate (for a maximum of three years). In order to receive the award in the second and third years, you are required to take part in some type of career experience in power and energy engineering each year. You're also required to become a student member of IEEE and the Power & Energy Society (PES) — but the first year's membership is free! IEEE and PES membership has many benefits as well! Here's what you'll have to do to renew your scholarship:
- Work in a power and energy engineering position before your scholarship is renewed. This might be a summer internship or co-op experience. You may also meet this requirement by working in a summer job that's equivalent to an internship or co-op experience (for example, a summer power and energy engineering research experience at your university)
- Renew your IEEE and PES membership. Annual membership fees for students are US$32 for IEEE and US$18 for PES!
- Take opportunities to learn more about power and energy engineering careers. This might be through mentoring, field trips, seminars, PES conferences and meetings, research projects, short courses, online courses, or participation in a PES chapter
- Subscribe to PES-Careers and upload your resume
- Submit transcripts to demonstrate that you've followed your academic plans and taken courses from the list of typical power engineering subjects
- Maintain a B or better GPA
Calendar — Each year you'll have to submit a renewal application, so this schedule applies for all three years.
- 1 March - Application Period Begins
- 30 June - Deadline to complete the online scholarship application form.
- 30 September - You'll be notified whether you've received the award (or whether your award was renewed). First time recipients will be asked to provide supplemental information before the check can be disbursed. Renewal recipients must renew their IEEE and PES membership for the upcoming year.
- 31 October - Scholarship award funds will be distributed to the school.
- 1 November - 15 January - PES-Careers will post positions for internships and career experience. We recommend you apply as soon as possible!
- 28 February - If you haven't been able to find career experience by this date, you should notify IEEE PES immediately, and we will provide assistance.
- 31 August - Your career experience for the year should be completed by around this time—in other words, we expect you to get your career experience by the end of summer before your next year in the program.
Co-op Programs: We understand that if you're in a cooperative program, it may work on a different schedule than the one listed above for internships. You'll need to describe the co-op arrangements in your renewal application. If your institution has a mandatory co-op program, you'll need to ask for help from IEEE PES three months before the start of the co-op cycle, to give us time to ensure your success.

I've tried to get this concept into motion for several days now, but I just can't seem to. Many hours of research and trying every conceivable shatter and destruction plugin, and I'm still drawing a blank as to how to visualize this. I need a new method, in short.
So, how should I go about producing this effect?

When I picked up my car the dealer took me to a gas station to fill up the tank and I remember him having great difficulty get the last 1/8 to take fuel. He must have click the pump handle a dozen times or more while I watched the gauge and told him when it finally reached full.
Today I went to fill the tank and it cutoff on me so I proceeded to add a few more clicks of gas thinking I do not want to overfill so after about 5 clicks I stopped. Got in the car and drove away and looked at the gauge and it was under 7/8 full.
Anyone else having any problems with filling it up all the way? The first time with the dealer I just thought it might have been some kind of air pocket or a bad pump nozzle, but now that it happened again at a different station I am concerned something might be crimped.
Thanks Russ

The Lakeland Police Department needs help to identify a person of interest in the Attempted Sexual Battery and False Imprisonment of a 61 year old female.
Click here for excerpts from surveillance video: http://youtu.be/Th9S1LakDFg
LPD Event #14-11407 Detective Tolbert
On May 7, 2014, at approximately 12:45 p.m., a black male 30-40 years of age, 6', 180 lbs., wearing a yellow and blue striped shirt, blue jeans and brown ankle boots entered Eye Express located at 5528 Hwy 98 N and stole over $300.00 worth of glasses and sunglasses.
LPD Event #14-9395 Detective Cain
The City of Lakeland Police Department is teaming up with The Ledger to present information to the community regarding 40 unsolved cold cases that they are trying to solve. Lakeland Police Department Chief Larry Giddens said, "Some of these crimes go back decades and we are pleased to be working with The Ledger to help solve these cases." He added, "Perhaps we can get a lead or as we share information, someone will remember a detail that will be just the spark that we need to close a case."
The Ledger will be publishing a three-part series on the City's cold cases and unsolved murders. The series will run Sunday through Tuesday but will continue for months as The Ledger profiles some of the more interesting cases every other week.
Lenore Devore, Editor for The Ledger said, "The goal is to bring the community together to solve some of the cases. It's easy to criticize law enforcement for not solving crimes and it's much harder when you realize that people with key evidence won't cooperate. That's what LPD says it faced for a long time – a community often unwilling to get involved." She added "We hope that publicizing the information will make the community more aware and someone will step forward with a key piece of information."
"In the past few months, community involvement has combined with excellent detective work to solve several homicides and shootings quickly," said Assistant Chief Mike Link. "Things have gotten better and people are calling in tips, whether anonymous or not and that's a step in the right direction."
Law enforcement officials often dedicate years of service to solve murders, battling frustration, fatigue and at times depression trying to clear just one crime. They deal with family members who range from understanding to inconsolable to very angry because of the many questions that are still left unanswered. Who did it? Why? Was the victim the target or an innocent bystander? Why isn't there a conviction? Why hasn't justice been served?
The series, titled "It Takes a Community to Solve a Murder," culminates with a community forum from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on June 5th in the City Commission chambers at Lakeland City Hall, 228 S. Massachusetts Ave.
During the forum, citizens will hear from:
• Assistant Police Chief Link
• Cold case supervisor Jeff Birdwell
• Detective Brad Grice
• Brian Haas, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office
• Local psychologist and Ledger columnist Dr. Berney Wilkinson
• The Rev. Arthur Johnson
• The mother of a slain man, Linda Cook Thames
Each panelist will bring their own perspective to dealing with unsolved murders and cold cases, from why some cases cannot be solved quickly to the toll cases take on families and detectives to the efforts made to raise community awareness.
This is a chance for the community to get involved in the conversation and to show your support for the Lakeland Police Department. Join us June 5th to hear from our esteemed panelists.

Busta Rhymes released from UK detention
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - U.S. rapper Busta Rhymes was held by British immigration officials at a London airport for almost 12 hours on Thursday before a High Court judge ordered his release.
Officials at London City Airport, citing "unresolved convictions in the USA," detained the rapper after he arrived to perform at a concert in the capital's Royal Albert Hall on Friday.
"A High Court judge ordered his release this evening. He has been allowed entry into the UK having been detained all day at London City Airport," said a spokeswoman for concert organizers RockCorps.
She said his appearance at the event would depend on the outcome of a judicial review due to be held on Friday.
"We're very hopeful he'll be playing the show," she added.
RockCorps is a volunteer project which rewards youngsters with free concert tickets in return for doing four hours of charity work.
Immigration officials tried to put Rhymes on a flight to Amsterdam but his lawyer obtained an injunction and applied for a judicial review of the decision not to grant him admission, said cell phone operator Orange, which is promoting the concert.
This year Rhymes was sentenced to three years' probation for beating a fan who spat on his car in August 2006 and assaulting his driver that December.
"He has the necessary work permit and has been in the country twice already this year, so we're a little puzzled that a question mark is now being placed over his ability to enter the country to perform to volunteers," said Stephen Greene, co-founder of RockCorps. Continued...

A hundred pound of oil pressure on a wet sump you will kill the dist and cam gear.
Restrictors are built in to the most roller lifters now.
Here is some good info
Oil restrictors SBC - Yellow Bullet Forums
CNC Blocks...inspite of the disagreement between a few members...I have picked up some useful information from you. I was told to use restrictors in my stroker due to loss of available oil to the crank under high RPM's...but never told why that would occur. I had actually believed that my solid rollers would pump less oil then hydraulics into my valve springs. So, you say that I really didn't need them at all because the roller lifters were restrictive enough? Is that the short of it?
What guys who don't know how the roller lifters oil is they are basing their experiance on flat tappet lifters, Which is wrong !!!
Again your lifters have the orface on the side of the lifter and not in the oil band oil flow works off the bore clearance and because it does its restricted.
Also I use solid flat tappet tool steel lifters with the same oiling, The orface is on the side of the lifter and not in the band and on those lifters they are to restrictive. And put a groove between the orface and the band to generate more oil to the rockers and springs for cooling.
Again HYD lifter flow much more oil the rollers and to date on my engines flooding the valve covers is BS as you can't put 5 or more quarts of oil in the valve covers.
LOL...it would be squirting out the PCV and breather!
|The Following User Says Thank You to snakebit68 For This Useful Post:
MouseFink (01-12-2017)
Standard hydraulic roller or hydraulic flat tappet lifters do not need restricted push rods. They are self restricting by the internal piston and piddle disc valve under the push rod seat. .
However, limited travel, short travel or reduced travel hydraulic roller or flat tappets will likely require restricted push rods because they have only .050" total plunger travel and are designed to operate at high RPM without pumping up. High performance and racing engine builders have been restricting the flow to the valve covers since 1955. In the early daze, some used pipe cleaners in the push rods and some pushed a .080" wire into the push rods. Now we can buy push rods with .040" or .030" hole in one end as the restriction.
Where did anyone get the idea that valve covers will hold 5 quarts of oil?
On our SB Chevy Jr.Fuel dragster, we used various mechanical flat tappet and mechanical roller camshafts. With either of those type camshafts, the engine would puke oil out the breathers at high RPM. That is why sanctioning bodies require oil breathers to be piped to the exhaust header so oil would evacuate and burn the oil in the exhaust header rather than puke oil on the track. Even after we installed lifter oil gallery restriction, the rules still required us to maintain the oil evacuation system, as a precaution. Lifter gallery oil restriction in not necessary if you use the preferred method by using restricted push rods.
There is 4 quarts of oil in the upper parts of the ENGINE, not just the valve covers, above 5,000 RPM and that leaves less than a quart in a stock oil pan. Acceleration or cornering can cause the remaining quart to move away from oil pump pick up screen. That is why racing engines need larger capacity oil pans with baffles or use dry sump oiling. You can reduce the oil in the upper part of the engine and increase the pressure in the crank by simply using restricted push rods.
4 quarts in the upper part of the engine I find that statement to be BS, I have some circle track engines with stock pans 5 quart system 4 in the pan one in the filter and if your BS statement were true it would blow up. They are mandated to run these pans due to rules made by the track.
Once again the OP's lifters are allready restricted do the the oil orface being not being in the oil band.
Run a hyd falt tappet engines with the coves off watch how much oil is squirting out of the rockers then try the same thing with a solid roller engine.
Talk about BS ! Never take BS engine performance advice from anyone who runs dirt track claimer engines.
Throwing oil out the breathers has been a problem with Pontiac high performance engines until they went to a completely closed PCV system in 1971 with a rubber plug in the one valve cover and a PCV valve in the other and eliminated the rocker arm baffles.
Pontiac tried to prevent the oil from blowing out the valve covers by placing a 4"-6" breather stacks on the valve covers of 1962-1964 421 SD / HO and 1964 GTO high performance engines but it did not work very well. Pontiac 421 SD solid lifters had a tiny oil feed hole in the oil band and the engines still blew oil out the breathers. They attempted to use the same lifters in the experimental 1969-1970 Ram Air V engines. It was caused by increased oil volume and splash in the valve covers at high RPM when using solid lifters.
The LH breather stack on the 1962-1963 421 SD and 1963 421 HO engines was located directly above a rocker arm and oil still blows out the stack. The breather stack on the RH valve cover was between two rocker arms and did not have any oil blowing out the valve cover stack. Pontiac drag racers in A/FX classes had to wrap rags around the LH breather stack to keep from oiling down the track. The owners of 409 Chevrolets even welded 12" - 14" breather stacks to the stock valve covers.
I am sure the professional engine builders fitted the rings in those engines correctly.
I pushed a piece of open cell foam rubber down the LH breather stack but eventually the foam rubber plug became saturated and oil began coming out the breather stack at high RPM. Pontiac started placing rocker arm oil baffles under the valve covers from 1964 through 1967 and that eliminated oil blowing out the valve cover breathers until the fully closed PCV system was introduced and they put a rubber plugs in the breather openings. Chevrolet engines does not have breather in the valve covers. Chevy engines had a breather stack in the front of the engine near the water pump. Oil in those engines has no place to go except back into the engine so excessive oil pumping by solid lifters must be avoided.
1987-up hydraulic lifters have oil holes on the barrel with a relief to the oil band. That is a effort to restrict oil pumping mto the valve covers, but is it enough?

To the O.P. take CNC's advice, he's a pro who builds these things everyday and has an excellent reputation here in the Northeast.

Go to my F/B page as you can see no dirt tacks and one engine 7 championships I guess I have a good idea what I am doing and talking about LOL https://www.facebook.com/carl.hinkso...ocks.northeast

For the original question by the OP:
If the engine needs oil restriction, do it if you have full roller rocker arms.
If the engine does not need oil restriction, don't do it.
It is easy to determine if the engine needs restricted push rods when you lash the valves with the engine running. Restricted push rods is the way to go with solid or hydraulic lifters.
I used restricted push rods because the Comp Cams 15850 Short Travel hydraulic roller lifters sent too much oil to the rocker arms as I was setting the pre-load. The short travel hydraulic lifters has a lifter oil feed hole in the oil band. The lifter feed hole in solid roller lifters and regular travel hydraulic roller lifters is in the lifter body above the oil band.
Oh com on I only been building engines for 38 years now LOL I don't have clue LOL
Thanks for the comliment.
To the OP give Chris Straub a call I am sure he will give the same advise I gave. Welcome to Straub Technologies. . .The Source of Performance.
Good luck which ever way you go !!!!
Straub used to post on here, very valuable poster.
One of the issues with being on forums is it takes time to figure out who's the real deal.
I've been here for 10 years. CNC NE and Straub are on the top 10 list. If they tell you something, its true. Take his advice.
I know it's a bit off topic but I cringe when I hear people talk about adjusting valves on engines with hydraulic cams with the engine running. I know lots of guys do it, I just don't know why. The mess alone plus the fact that it's not all that accurate is reason enough for me.
BSE Racing Engines
Ok, I did buy restrictors and put them in but then took them back out and plugged the holes. I'm running a 3 stage dry sump system and the Dart SHP block is designed for priority main oiling so flow to the bearings should'nt be a problem. I am running Lunati Solid Rollers (.300 taller), Comp Cams 3/8" Tapered Chrome Moly Pushrods w/T&D Shaft Rockers on AFR 227cc Aluminum Heads. Here are a few pictures of the motor, almost done. Thanks for all your input.

Joe Piccinini's Halloween retirement surprise as Lee's Summit's chief of police set lots of things in motion over at City Hall.
First, Piccinini joined two other department heads – City Attorney Teresa Williams and Chief Technology Officer Randy Dickey – in leaving their respective posts.
Replacing one department head is a heavy task. Three at once can be overwhelming.
There seemed to be a brief scuffle over whether or not the city was going to go "national" with a search for the next chief of police.
My assumption – which turned out to be correct – was that it would.
And with the announcement last week that Major Scott Lyons would assume interim duties after Piccinini's final day, Jan. 17, 2014, the city also noted in its press release that Lyons would act in that role while a national search was done.
Four of Piccinini's officers, including Lyons, have been promoted to major under his watch.
Lyons made major in 2008, along with Curt Mansell. John Boenker and Mark Taylor were both promoted to major in 2011.
I am sure any of Piccinini's majors would fill this important role with the work ethic and professionalism we have come to expect out of our very large and very visible police force.
The Lyons pick in the interim may signal he has slight advantage, if he's indeed interested in the job on a long-term basis.
The "national" search also signals that a city the size of Lee's Summit is open to looking outside of its comfort zone for the best possible candidate. And looking at the résumés of all our current majors, our best candidate may already be wearing an LSPD badge.
Some want to, or cannot help themselves from, reading a lot into the announcement the city will conduct a national search for police chief. Perhaps it was premature of me to speculate on that so soon after Piccinini made his surprise announcement.
But now it's out there.
We may never know what, if any, internal struggles and power-plays are going on inside the PD right now. We can hope, though, that politics and personal agendas stay far away from any selection process and that when the dust settles, our next chief of police continues the course that Piccinini has set during his tenure at the helm.
Lyons is, certainly, a solid pick to fill those shoes on provisional basis.
It will be interesting to watch and see what kind of candidates come out of a search that goes nationwide.

The Paddingtons - No Mundane Options
They produce a better sound when they strip back and stop trying to do everything at the same time.Read more on The Paddingtons Listen to The Paddingtons on Spotify
"Ah, let sack this off and get proper jobs", thought The Paddingtons after becoming disillusioned with the record industry, so they split just after their first album. But there were no 9-5 jobs for them, and they came back. That is not a good reason to come back. Maybe they should have held out... something would have come along.
Naming their second album 'No Mundane Options' was a brave choice, because it is in fact full of mundane options. With similar melodies and arrangements, each song blends into the next. They all have a very 'indie rock by numbers' sound, thrashing guitars and screechy wailing. In 'Punk RIP' the backing singers actually sound bored and the basic lyrics sound lazy: "looking at you, looking at me, will you understand, take me by the hand". Just because words rhyme doesn't make them any good.
'What's The Point In Anything New' is slightly better, complete with a shouty chorus; 'Shame About Elle' starts off promisingly but then goes unnervingly off-kilter with several out of tune moments. As if they've started to warm up, things improve midway through the album. In 'Sticky Fingers' the thrashing guitars do cease long enough for a bit of harmony. With 'Molotov Cocktail' things become more coherent with a cute "wooo wooo" in the chorus you could imagine being snapped up for some mobile phone advert. Frontman Tom Atkin is finally singing his heart out and it sounds good, like he's enjoying himself at last. There's even a key change thrown in the end, which is very welcome after the monotony of many of the previous tracks.
With 'You & I' things continue to improve with a riff that nods to Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick In The Wall', but the next few tracks revert to type; 'Stand Down' hits the nail on the head with the lyrics "you've seen it all before". Finally, 'Heartsong', with its good scratchy riff, is slower, with much more imagination, showing they produce a better sound when they strip back and stop trying to do everything at the same time.
Imagine mixing The Cribs, The Pigeon Detectives and Kaiser Chiefs in a blender, pouring half the juice into a glass and then topping up with water. That's what this sounds like. It's not that they're bad, it's just that this has all been done before - better.

Fake shop fronts hide N.Ireland economic woes before G8
By Cathal McNaughtan
BELCOO, Northern Ireland (Reuters) - Local councils in Northern Ireland have painted fake shop fronts and covered derelict buildings with huge billboards to hide the economic hardship being felt in towns and villages near the golf resort where G8 leaders will meet this month.
Northern Ireland's government has spent 2 million pounds tackling dereliction over the past two years, the province's environment department said, demolishing some buildings and giving others a facelift in a bid to make areas more attractive.
Almost a quarter of so-called dereliction funds were freed up for local councilors in the county of Fermanagh in anticipation of Britain hosting the annual Group of Eight leaders summit there on June 17-18. More than 100 properties have been spruced up.
In the one-street town of Belcoo, the changes are merely cosmetic. At a former butcher's shop, stickers applied to the windows show a packed meat counter and give the impression that business is booming.
Across the street, another empty unit has been given a makeover to look like a thriving office supply shop. Locals are unimpressed.
"The shop fronts are cosmetic surgery for serious wounds. They are looking after the banks instead of saving good businesses," said Kevin Maguire, 62, an unemployed man who has lived all his life in Belcoo.
"Where would you see a shop front in Northern Ireland like this anyway? It's more like something you'd find in Belgravia or Chelsea," he said, referring to elite districts of London.
The fakes are not the first of their kind in Northern Ireland, a province recovering from three decades of sectarian violence that was largely ended by a peace deal 15 years ago. Continued...

Aishah Ali, Birmingham
Dr Mohammed Naseem, founder and long term Chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque, died aged 90 in Birmingham on April 22. Thousands filled the mosque for the funeral to pay their final respects.
Faith and community leaders gave heartfelt tributes. Birmingham City Council Leader, Sir Albert Bore, said, "He was committed to community cohesion and passionate about interfaith understanding." He described him as a prominent Muslim leader who had a "strong sense of justice" and was a "peace advocate."
Dr Naseem was actively involved in several community organisations over the past few decades and became a leading figure in the city. He was a founding member of the Governing Council of the Human City Institute and Chairman of the Birmingham Mosque Trust since 1975. He was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Birmingham in 2005.
Dr Naseem was also known as a medical doctor; he set up his own GP practice in Birmingham in 1962. He specialised in the medical procedure of circumcision, particularly for the British Muslim community. He qualified in 1953 from King Edward Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan, and arrived in the UK in 1959 to work as a Senior Health Officer at Queens Park Hospital.
Leading representatives from the Sikh, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist and Hindu faiths expressed their sadness. A few said that although they did not always agree on issues "he was always respectful, curious and welcoming. He contributed enormously to interfaith relations in the city and will be greatly missed."
Tributes were also given by West Midlands Police Deputy Chief Constable, Dave Thompson. A message was read out on behalf of Rev David Urquhart, the Bishop of Birmingham: "His commitment to building links between people of all faiths has encouraged and united others to follow his example."
Birmingham Faith Leaders group added that he "demonstrated his willingness to challenge and stand up for the rights and responsibilities of faith in wider society."
In a statement, the Muslim Council of Britain expressed their sadness. "For over fifty years he had dedicated his life not only as a Muslim but as a citizen of Birmingham and the United Kingdom. Dr Naseem was a passionate advocate of cordial community relations. The Muslim community of the UK and the city of Birmingham has lost one of its most dedicated servants."
The most heartfelt tribute was given by Dr Naseem's younger brother Naeem Tahar, who arrived for the service from Pakistan. "Dr Naseem was my only brother, and perhaps my greatest friend," he said. He added that his brother would always help others, especially those that "nobody else would help" and he became a "warrior on all fronts."
"The condolences offered to me and my family must be shared with you, because he belonged to you, and you were his family."
The burial took place at Birmingham's Handsworth Cemetery.

Yesterday, we were on our way to Aiken, SC in the black FWB. Cruising around 77 between Augusta and Aiken on I20 there was a sudden loss of power and she dropped about 10 mph then kicked back in and got back up to speed. I disengaged the cruise and tested her out by varying speed and shifting gears. Everything seemed fine. Exit the interstate a few miles later and drove four miles to the first red light. Light turned green and as soon as I completed the turn she died. Tried to start, she turned over, but would not run. Cycled the key a few times and tried again. She idled rough but died soon as I gave her some gas. I said well must be the fuel pump. No lights or any indication other than the gasp on the interstate. I had noticed that it took a little longer than usual to crank lately so I guess that could have been another sign.
The dealer called back today and said it was indeed the fuel pump and recommended changing the filter and strainer as well. My question is this: is there anything else I should have them change? I was thinking about changing the fuel gauge while they were in the tank. Opinions and suggestions welcome.
Everywhere I go in this car I get looks, comments, and folks talking. Breaking down was no different. While in the intersection there were people stopping to offer assistance and just about all of them said "nice caddy" or "sweet ride" and had one guy tell me she was "straight up gangsta" (just had windows tinted Monday). A state trooper helped me push her into a yard adjacent to the intersection and I still had folks talking to me as we sat waiting for a tow. One elderly gentleman pulled up and said "you got a real treasure there" and we talked for awhile. I can drive the STS all day and nobody says a word but even broke down on the side of the road this old girl had folks stopping to look. Cracks me up!
