Vodafone report shows some governments can access data at 'flick of a switch'
LONDON (AP) -- Government snooping into phone networks is extensive worldwide, one of the world's largest cellphone companies revealed Friday, saying that several countries demand direct access to its networks without warrant or prior notice.
The detailed report from Vodafone, which covers the 29 countries in which it operates in Europe, Africa and Asia, provides the most comprehensive look to date at how governments monitor mobile phone communications. It amounts to a call for a debate on the issue as businesses increasingly worry about being seen as worthy of trust.
Wiretapping of phones and accessing of call records for law-enforcement purposes is a decades-old and accepted practice even in the most open democracies. With backing from courts, police can request cooperation from phone companies, a valuable tool for the pursuit of criminals.
But the most explosive revelation in Vodafone's report is that in six countries, authorities require direct access to an operator's network -- bypassing legal niceties like warrants and eliminating the need to get case-by-case cooperation from phone-company employees. It did not name the countries for legal reasons and to safeguard employees working there.
"In those countries, Vodafone will not receive any form of demand for lawful interception access as the relevant agencies and authorities already have permanent access to customer communications via their own direct link," the report said.
Friend says Seattle student monitor 'definitely saved our lives' by spraying, tackling gunman
SEATTLE (AP) -- The man blasting away with a shotgun paused to reload, and Jon Meis saw his chance.
The 22-year-old building monitor pepper-sprayed and tackled the gunman Thursday in Seattle Pacific University's Otto Miller Hall, likely preventing further carnage, according to police and university officials.
Meis and other students subdued the gunman until officers arrived and handcuffed him moments later.
Police said the shooter, who killed a 19-year-old man and wounded two other young people, had 50 additional shotgun shells and a hunting knife.
He told authorities after his arrest that he wanted to kill as many people as possible before taking his own life, Seattle police wrote in a statement filed in court Friday.
Putin talks with incoming Ukrainian leader on ending violence amid D-Day ceremony in Normandy
OUISTREHAM, France (AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke face-to-face with Ukraine's incoming president about ending the violence in the former Soviet state, and Kiev's new leader said talks could begin in earnest as soon as Sunday -- a diplomatic breakthrough playing out along the battlefield beaches of Normandy.
Friday's 15-minute meeting was followed by a brief exchange between Putin and President Barack Obama, who had been keeping the Russian at arm's length over the Ukrainian crisis. Tensions between the two were played out on giant televisions on Ouistreham's Sword Beach, with Putin and Obama shown divided by a split screens as they commemorated the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
Speaking after his meeting with Petro Poroshenko -- who is to be sworn in Saturday as Ukraine's president -- Putin called for an immediate cease-fire in eastern Ukraine before any further talks, and said he expected Poroshenko to show "state wisdom" and "good will." Poroshenko later said talks could begin in earnest on his first full day in office.
"All the questions were difficult," Poroshenko said in a statement to The Associated Press before returning to Ukraine, "but we will make every effort to achieve the goals we have set ourselves and begin negotiations on Sunday."
Putin said he welcomed Poroshenko's call for an end to the bloodshed and liked his approach to settling the crisis but wanted to wait until the Ukrainian leader could deliver it in detail to the nation.
Veterans, world leaders honor D-Day's fallen, 70 years after pivotal invasion of Normandy
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France (AP) -- It was a day of pride, remembrance and honors for those who waded through blood-tinged waves, climbed razor-sharp cliffs or fell from the skies, staring down death or dying in an invasion that portended the fall of the Third Reich and the end of World War II.
It was also a day of high diplomacy for a Europe not completely at peace.
After 70 years, a dwindling number of veterans, civilian survivors of the brutal battle for Normandy, and 19 world leaders and monarchs celebrated on Friday the sacrifices of D-Day, an assault never matched for its size, planning and derring-do.
The events spread across the beaches and lush farmlands of Normandy, in western France, had an added sense of urgency this year: It would be the last grand commemoration for many of the veterans, whether they relived the anniversary at home in silence or were among the some 1,000 who crossed continents to be present despite their frail age.
For President Barack Obama, transmitting the memory of their "longest day" means keeping intact the values that veterans fought and died for.
Canadian suspected of killing 3 Mounties caught, ending lockdown in eastern city
MONCTON, New Brunswick (AP) -- A man suspected of gunning down three Royal Canadian Mounted Police was caught and charged Friday, ending a 30-hour manhunt that closed schools and forced residents to hide inside their homes of this eastern Canadian city. "I'm done," a witness heard him tell police.
Police said at a news conference that they received a tip that led them to a wooded residential part of Moncton, New Brunswick, where they found 24-year-old Justin Bourque, suspected in the deadliest attack on Canada's national police force in nearly a decade.
Armed with high-powered long firearms, Bourque was spotted three times Thursday as he evaded the manhunt that all but shut down the normally tranquil city about of about 60,000 people east of the Maine border. Nearly 300 police officers searched for Bourque, who was seen going in and out of a wooded area.
RCMP Supt. Marlene Snowman said Bourque was arrested at 12:10 a.m. She said he wasn't carrying any weapons, but some were found nearby. Prosecutors and police declined to comment when asked if the guns were acquired legally.
Michelle Thibodeau said she saw the man in the front yard of her home and heard him say, "I'm done," before his arrest by officers with guns drawn.
News Guide: Saving Sgt. Bergdahl: Facts and questions about the soldier, the deal, the rescue
WASHINGTON (AP) -- That feel-good moment in the Rose Garden seems like a long time ago. Just a week after the president announced that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had been freed in Afghanistan, details emerging about the soldier, the deal and how the rescue came together are only adding to the list of questions.
Why did Bergdahl leave his military post in the first place? Should he be punished as a deserter? Did U.S. troops die looking for him? Was the swap -- Bergdahl's freedom for that of five Taliban commanders -- a good deal for the United States or the Taliban, or both? Did the U.S. negotiate with terrorists? Why did President Obama OK the prisoner swap? And why now?
A look at what's known -- and unknown -- about saving Sgt. Bergdahl:
On June 30, 2009, when he disappeared from his infantry unit, Bergdahl was a 23-year-old private first class who had been in Afghanistan just five months. Back home in central Idaho, he'd been known as a free spirit who worked as a barista and loved to dance ballet. After he disappeared, fellow soldiers recalled, he'd made some odd comments about the possibility of getting lost in the mountains and whether he could ship belongings home. Rolling Stone magazine later reported that Bergdahl had sent his parents emails suggesting he'd lost faith in the Army's mission there and was considering deserting. By 2010, the Pentagon had concluded that Bergdahl had voluntarily walked away from his outpost. During the five years he was held by the Taliban, he was automatically bumped up in rank to sergeant. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says Bergdahl's next promotion to staff sergeant, which was to happen soon, is no longer automatic now that he has been freed.
Lawsuit filed in ND over last unchallenged gay marriage ban; Wisconsin judge tosses state ban
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- Seven couples filed a federal lawsuit Friday challenging the constitutional prohibition on same-sex marriage in North Dakota, making it the last state in the country with a ban to be sued by gay couples seeking the right to wed in their home state. A federal judge also struck down Wisconsin's ban, ruling it was unconstitutional.
The North Dakota lawsuit, filed in federal court in Fargo, challenges both that state's ban on gay marriage and its refusal to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who legally wed in other states.
That means cases are currently pending in all 31 states with gay marriage bans. Judges have overturned several state bans since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act last year, with Wisconsin being the latest. Many of those rulings are being appealed, and Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen vowed to do the same.
Clerks in Madison and Milwaukee began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples soon after the ruling, despite confusion over the effect of the ruling. Van Hollen asked for an emergency court order halting gay marriages.
North Dakota's attorney general said he had not yet seen the lawsuit challenging the state's 2004 ban, which claims violations on three issues that are guaranteed in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: equal protection, due process and right to travel.
US employers add jobs at pace not seen since 1999, recover last of positions lost in recession
WASHINGTON (AP) -- For the first time since 1999, American employers have added more than 200,000 jobs a month for four straight months, offering more evidence that the U.S. economy is steadily growing while much of Europe and Asia struggle.
Last month's gain of 217,000 jobs means the economy has finally recovered all the jobs lost to the Great Recession. And it coincides with indications that American consumers have grown more confident. Auto sales have surged. Manufacturers and service companies are expanding.
"I don't think we have a boom, but we have a good economy growing at about 3 percent," said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. "We're pulling away from the rest of the world."
Still, Friday's report from the Labor Department showed that pay remains subpar for many workers, millions who want full-time work are still stuck in part-time jobs and the number of people out of work for more than six months remains historically high.
Monthly job growth has averaged 234,000 for the past three months, up sharply from 150,000 in the previous three. The unemployment rate, which is derived from a separate survey, matched April's 6.3 percent, the lowest in more than five years.
North Korea says it has detained another American tourist for an unspecified crime
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea has detained a 56-year old man from Ohio, accusing him of an unspecified crime after he traveled to the communist-led country as a tourist, the nation's state news agency and the man's family said Friday. The North is now holding three Americans.
The state Korean Central News Agency identified the latest detainee as Jeffrey Edward Fowle. It said he arrived in North Korea on April 29 and authorities were investigating him for committing acts inconsistent with the purpose of a tourist visit. It did not give details.
U.S. officials confirmed the detention but didn't identify the person for privacy reasons, nor comment on reports that he was held after leaving a Bible in his hotel room.
A spokesman for the family said, Fowle, who is married with three children, was not on a mission for his church.
One of the other two U.S. detainees is Korean-American missionary Kenneth Bae, who has been held since November 2012, and is serving 15 years of hard labor for what the North says were hostile acts against the state.
California Chrome takes aim at Triple Crown sweep with longest race of his life in Belmont
NEW YORK (AP) -- California Chrome is 1 1/2 miles away from ending the longest drought in racing history -- 36 years without a Triple Crown winner.
Eleven horses as good or better than him have tried to complete the sweep in the Belmont Stakes and failed since 1978. The chestnut colt with the modest pedigree and self-described "dumb ass" owners can either make history Saturday or become just another near-miss.
"I've watched the other horses where they failed," California Chrome trainer Art Sherman said. "I don't know if they just got flat outrun or got tired from the Triple Crown races."
California Chrome and 10 rivals will run the longest race of their lives on Belmont Park's deep, sandy track with its sweeping turns. No other Triple Crown winner faced more than seven rivals.
"I feel more confident coming into this race than I did any race," said Sherman, who at 77 is overseeing the best horse of his career. "I'm getting pumped up."

The Elk and Pony Fire closure is now open to foot traffic for Unit 39 sportsmenBy idfg-bstuder on Wednesday, Nov 6th, 2013 12:10pm MST
The Boise National Forest just advised us of changes to the Elk and Pony fire complex closures.
The Forest Service has opened the area in Unit 39 to foot traffic. Please respect the closure areas and the motorized restrictions.
A PDF map of the updated and reduced closure areas is available here. Note, the area in Unit 43 still is closed to foot and vehicular traffic.
We plan to get this information updated in the Hunt Planner a.s.a.p. We'll update this blog entry if more information is available.
This closure change has a significant impact on the Elk controlled hunt in 39-4, but all 39 sportsmen may be affected by this change.

Replacing Rear Drum Brakes with Disc Brakes
OK, I want to replace my rear drum brakes in my 2006 Focus ZX3 SES with disc brakes from a 2006-2007 Focus ST. Anybody know how expensive this would be or if it's possible?
Oops, can a moderator move this to the Suspension & Brakes Forum, I hate repeating myself.
IF you do it yourself Just the parts... If not it'll cost you. Conversions cost a bit but are well worth. I wouldn't do it unless you plan on putting a super charger on that sucker. Sure its nice but better things to put money into.
Moved to the brake and suspension area
1. Yeah its possible alot of people have done it.
2. It depends if you wanto get new or used. There is a couple set ups in the bst right now, i think there around 250 300. Itll be way more$$ for it new cause you'd have to piece together all the parts needed separately.
Here's a link of a how to if you haven't found one yet.
to the op, piecing the setup together used is what i would recommend. Any of the focus's with AdvanceTrak or the SVT rear brakes would work as well, the rear discs would work from any years up to '07 (dont think any 08-11 came with rear discs, they would work if they did though.)
Dont forget to grab the parking/hand brake cable too, cant reuse the drum cable for that. You disconnect the cable under the car near where your center console would be.
Used is what I did as well, only thing I would get new would be the hubs unless there in really good condition. Oh if your wondering what's the differents between them, its the bracket the Svt one will let you have a slightly bigger rotor.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using FF Mobile
Just remember for the disk in the back to fit if its from a SVT your rim will have to be 16inches.
It's the front that needs 16" wheels to fit not the rears. Can't recall anyone on here having trouble fitting the rear brake kits with there 15" wheels, but numerous for the fronts lol. Only a handful of 15" wheels fit the fronts.
Ooo thanks for the heads up! I thought it applied for both. Sorry for the bad intel.
Why bother to go to all the expense, time and trouble to do this? Unless the car is going to be pushed all out on a race track, there's not much of an advantage to doing this.

You make it sound as though this product will destroy me and all my family and friends in some kind of pleasure-based nuclear blast.
Fantastic review, I've been looking to buy some high-end 'monitors' for sometime now, I think these have just topped my list! But before I do that...
This is going to sound silly and I'm sure everyone will laugh but, is there anyway you could right an article about audio ripping and the best way to do it? I've been meaning to sort out my bitrates for sometime now, but I don't really know where to start!
For those who can't afford custom monitors, it's worth pointing out that ACS also produces custom sleaves (i.e., earphone tips) for a range of popular earphone models.
They cost ~£90 and I've heard they make a massive difference. I have some on order for my UE SF5 pros right now...
Sound fantastic.....I know what I shall be using my student loan on next month
@Lee Moorhouse
If I were to write such a guide it'd be this: 1:Download LAME. 2:Using LAME rip your music at 320kbps. 3:Profit!
I actually can't reliably tell 320kbps from 256kbps when listening, but hey, why risk it.
I'm sold - very interested in these.
Can the reviewer (or anybody lucky enough to have a pair) comment on their serviceability or robustness, particularly with regard to the cable as these look to be fixed.
Would hate to drop £500 on these only to have a problem with the cable 18 months down the road.
How durable are these monitors? I couldn't tell but it looks like the cable isn't user replaceable?
dB PowerAmp is quite good for ripping music btw. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/
No comment on the cords? In my experience it's the cabling that is the weak link in these high end ear monitors â€" hence the welcome move to detachable ones by many manufacturers. Also, they get more rigid and prone to damage in the cold winter months, typically rupturing as they bend around the ear, or at the 'Y' junction.
I ended up pony-tailing my old Shure SE-420s when faced with the faff and expense of replacement cables (after about 18 months use) and am now very happy with my UE Triple.Fi 10s (whose warm, ballsy sound suits me much better than the transparent, but cold SEs it turns out). The UEs are already on their second set of cords, but at least replacing them wasn't a problem.
Inevitably, I'm very drawn to the ACS ear monitors by your rave review and the promise of portable audio excellence, but the prospect of spending £500+ on bespoke IEMs with tethered cords leaves me cold.
What happens if the cables get damaged? Are they removable? I'd guess not from the photos; for 'phones costing this much I feel that replaceable cables are essential.
@MilkyJoe7 - pretty much spot on. I should have used that metaphor. They're custom though so remember it will be just for you, not family and friends.
@Lee Moorhouse two good suggestions in the comments. LAME and dB PowerAmp work well. The detail in these monitors means you will hear the benefit of 320Kbps and lossless encoding.
@99tollap - ACS does indeed and custom moulds do make a huge difference. As mentioned in the review they are an earbud tip replacement though, so you don't get the full canal mould which is another level again.
@Stewart @Hans Gruber @Tomsterix @Carl Abudephane - similar points so I'm contacting ACS for an official comment. Through my personal experience I've found the T2's to be extremely durable. The silicon, while flexible, is tough and protects the speakers. As for the cable it is reinforced with Kevlar and feels nothing like the cheap rubber cables you get on most earphones - you would expect nothing less. I'll see if I can get a response before the weekend is out.
Oh boy I wish I had £500 for earphones
Interesting product and a nice review, however I do have to spoil the party with two mayor drawbacks these type of products tend to have and these ones reviewed are no exception. First one was mentioned before and is regarding cable not being user replaceable. I'd have thought a high-end product would employ some high-end connectivity, say a magnetic audio connector on ear pieces. With it being such tight fit, I wouldn't want to imagine how it feels like when something/someone pulls on your kevlar reinforced cable with any force. Second drawback - at least how I see it - is one even more problematic, and that is a pressure build-up inside your ear due to this product not having any inner ear pressure equalizing hole drilled into it. I hope the sound is really as jaw-dropping as the article might suggest, as I can't see it being comfortable (or healthy to your ears) listening to them for longer periods of time without equalizing the pressure build-up through the Eustachian tube every few minutes. Sorry for what might sound like a rant, I was really hoping for an almost perfect product here, especially considering how much they cost. I'd even be happy to pay a few hundred pounds more to get them, if it addressed those two drawbacks.
@miha - I have yet to try and rip the monitors out my ear (!), but obviously any form of tight seal makes this an inherent problem. I'd suggest being careful. Otherwise decide what is more important to you. I understand this wouldn't be a problem with Apple earphones ;)
Your second point is interesting since it sounds logical, but I had no issues whatsoever wearing the T2s for many hours. In fact you'd think this would be an issue with any form of tight seal earplug as well. Many professions where these all day, such as construction workers and military personnel. Obviously all have managed to overcome it somehow, but I'm not scientifically qualified to say how. I simply didn't have any problems. More to the point they were so comfortable I forgot I was wearing them and twice walked off when still plugged into a laptop. A plus point for durability!
Again I'll check with ACS for an answer.
Thanks Gordon for your quick reply. Please, check with ACS if you can, I'd be hugely interested in their reply and/or if they plan on evolving this product any further. I should probably put my previous comment into perspective - what I'd use such product for is as "monitors" in its original sense (at least how I learned it). I play various musical instruments in a rock/jazz band and having ability to hear yourself playing with others "banging along" is essential. I would consider wireless connection for such products, but the signal lag using such solutions makes it a definite no-go. Thanks in advance!
I'm fairly sure that ACS charge £40 to change the cable...
Hi all. Here's the official statement from ACS:
"Every ACS product comes with a one-year warranty that covers against repairs that aren't a result of misuse by the user. The monitors are to be removed by gripping the moulds and removing from the ear as opposed to pulling the cable, this is made clear in the instruction leaflet. If used properly there should be no issues with the cable.
ACS will be launching a removable cable solution before the end of the year but more news on this will follow. It is important to state though that the development on a removable cable is not because there is problems with the existing cable solution but because it forms part of a new groundbreaking monitor that will be announced shortly."
In short, you've got a year just like other earphones and monitors. I99tollap is right, ACS does offer a cable repair service, but cost is related to the extent of the damage. News of a T2 with removable cables and a new "groundbreaking monitor" has also peaked our interest! We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for developments and will keep you up to date.
@Miha - I have learnt ACS is working on an ambient product of which there should be news shortly. The company seems very excited about it.
I've had ear moulds taken previosuly, can I use these moulds and save a few quid?
They look like something out of eXistenZ, almost biological. Not sure I'd want them in my ear, in case they come alive and wriggle and bore their way into my brain
@Adam 4 - no, the moulds on the T2 are part of its construction. They are not removable. That said the moulds are of such a quality that you wouldn't want to use third party alternatives.
@SRS - I must admit as they quickly warm to body temperature they do almost feel organic! Particular in that finish. The effect is less pronounced in other colours.
Very interesting. I come from the same stable as miha's comments in terms of the health issue. With such a tight custom fit I can see how this funder-mentally improves the experience....but I am a tinnitus sufferer, and I can tell you that I naively brought this condition upon my self just from ONE night of loud music (mates birthday, peer pressure and all that) with a cold, and so these very Eustachian tubes, being blocked provided no release valve as it were!! Ear drums are pretty much getting the full brunt with this method. However you say you say this has not been a problem for you. Fair enough. You mention roots from ACS in hearing protection... and construction workers wearing them etc. I often wondered about getting a custom mould done, as in my job operating certain equipment like "Tree Chippers" etc, normal ear defenders just don't cut it! I would be very interested in the T2's from this point of view as well as enjoying them as the high quality monitors they so obviously are. What do you think? Is this an expensive way of doing it?
Great review. Completely out of my price range, but i enjoyed reading it :)
Quick note though; it's Ozzy Osbourne, not Ozzie.
And on the pedantic side, it's piqued, not peaked.
I have the UE18 customs and the Klipsch X10s. The latter go right inside the ear canal and completely seal it. This is especially so as I have a pair of Comply ear tips on them. There is no problem about a build-up of pressure at all in my experience. I cannot explain the science of it but there really is no problem at all in my experience.
I'm surprised at the relatively small price difference between the T1s and T2s. If I wanted the best in ear monitor (and let's face it paying £500+ I should expect that!), I'd rather stump the extra £150 and get the triple driver version, they will be better without doubt! Therefore I'm confused at whom these T2s are aimed at...Honestly, until your last sentence I was really interested in buying these because they are well priced compared to the UE moulds. I guess I'll await your review on the T1s now !
@Kezman - ACS sell a range of protective ear plugs called the ER Series that seem more suitable to your needs.
ER9 - Recommended for light noise exposure and accoustic musicians providing and average of 9dB protection.
ER15 - Recommended for most musicians playing amplified music providing 15dB protection.
ER25 - Recommended for highly amplified performances and drummers providing 25dB protection.
They provide a good fit with a custom ear mould and cost £164.50.
@Gordon - 'Piqued' not peaked, though of course in this case it could be both! :)
@Lee Moorhouse, @Tim Sutton, @ Hans Gruber, @Gordon.
A free (for non-commercial purposes) alternative to 'dB PowerAmp' is 'Exact Audio Copy'.
I cannot say how it compares with dB PowerAmp facility by facility, probably not as many, except that it is built around the same core AccurateRip technology.

My first app. with Dr.G. Buchanan was set for 4:15pm and at 8p I left because he still had not shown up. The next app. was set for 6:30p when I got their he was their, but I still didn"t get back until 9:15p and on that day he wasn't with other patients. I'm experiencing my first high risk pregnancy and would appreciate some privacy, but every app. there was a different staff member listening to my private and intimate business ladies that worked the front dest ( non medical student Drs.) and when I inquired about my right to privacy I was made to seem unreasonable. I asked for literature on breast feeding and was told by the head front dest mgr. that she'd get it to me I never received it. Also in the back waiting room while waiting to see the mid wife I could hear all of the issues/concerns the other women discused with Libby. Take my advice wheather its your first or fifth baby go somewhere and be treated like somebody. Hope this helps.

Dr. Buchanan is so great that he delivered my youngest daughter and all three of my granddaughters by 2 different daughters. I have had the privilege of meeting his beautiful wife and know that he would only bring her aboard because she qualified to do the job. His wait time is long because he genuinely cares enough about his patients to spend the necessary time with each one to provide proper medical care.

When you walk into the office of Dr. Buchanan you feel right at home the staff's family makes you feel like apart of the office. Dr. Buchanan comes in the room and spend over an hour sometimes explaining things to myself and my husband.

The c-sec was done and 1 week past my surg area was closed then 4 weeks later i couldn't find where the area was it was like magic. that's why i back. no infections, hardly any pain, and graet care. who could ask for any thing moreThe entire staff called and checked on meI cant thank them enough!

The wait is his office is much too long, but Dr. Buchanan compensates for this! He is a wonderful obstetrician. He delivered my baby so skillfully and saved me from having to undergo a c-section. The nurses in the hosptial said that any other dr. would have gotten the baby out surgically. He is loved and admired by many.

this doctor makes you wait 1 1/2 to 2 hours for your visit, he fights with staff at bedside, employs minimum wage, uneducated staff, his office is dirty and you won't see much hand washing, his bathroom lacks t.p., soap, or paper towels on occasion, Ewww!

This week, golf attempts to get past the controversy and hubbub, and back to long-standing traditions and class acts at The HP Byron Nelson Championship. The ninth longest-running active tournament on the PGA Tour, the Byron Nelson has a long history in professional golf that began in 1944. That year Byron Nelson won the Texas Victory Open by 10 strokes to beat his good friend Harold "Jug" McSpaden. Nelson's victory at the Lakewood Country Club was the beginning of two remarkable years in which he would win 26 tournaments, including his amazing streak of 11 straight victories in 1945. Originally called the Dallas Open, it became the Byron Nelson Golf Classic in 1968. This year's tournament runs through Sunday. Events throughout the weekend include a free Youth Golf Clinic, live music at night and the KidsZone, which includes miniature golf, a bounce house and a gaming station for the kiddos, who get in free. It's enough to keep even a golf-skeptic entertained! The Byron Nelson takes place at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Las Colinas in Irving. Visit hpbnc.org for tickets and more information.

Tata Motors just debuted an electrified version of its Nano today at the Geneva Motor Show, promising no compromises in the way it drives compared to the regular 600cc Nano. The Tata Nano Electric Vehicle (EV) will be built on the existing Nano platform and still seats four adults, but adds "super polymer lithium ion batteries" to the mix. No word on power, but Tata does promise a range of 160 kilometers (99 miles) and acceleration of 0-60 kilometers per hour in under 10 seconds. Notice that's 60 km/h, which equates to 37 miles per hour, so the Nano EV isn't going to be one of those instant torque EV drag racers like the Tesla Roadster.
Tata plans to put the Nano EV into production and sell it alongside the company's already launched Indica Vista EV, which goes on sale in Europe later this year. Development has also already begun on the Nano Europa, set to go on sale in Europe in a couple of years, so perhaps the Nano EV could join it in showrooms at launch. No word on pricing yet either, although we're guessing it will be somewhere between the bargain basement price of the regular Nano in India and the DC Designs Nano we showed you a little while ago.
There is a press release after the jump with even more details about the EV as well as Tata's other vehicles on display in Geneva, and also a live gallery from the show floor below.

The Nationals' 7:05 p.m. start time tonight was pushed back 15 minutes to 7:20 because – this is serious – the umpiring crew led by chief Tom Hallion were stuck in traffic on the way to the park and did not arrive in time. Again, that's not a joke: The umpires are late.

30 Jun Indigo Limbs
Indigo Limbs
they flail their languid, indigo limbs
and press close their red, brown, black faces,
locking indigo lips and swaying indigo hips
under dual moons and butterscotch clouds.
engaged in a voodou ritual, their sanguine hands
violently meet and their bodies, darker than blue, convulse,
driven by a belligerent song and rhythm.
as though ancient africa was coursing through their ichor,
the dual-faced mothers dance and move,
sunlight dripping from their tawny afros,
smearing the chalky face paint and marring the red soil.
the regal titanesses, ululating and celebrating the void of space,
admire distant stars and that blue pendant,
their feral children, pregnant with celestial wonder
and juvenile vigour, make love in errant labyrinths and vacant niles.
an indigo father nurses his seventh child on his
fourth nipple. the maternal father coos
the gentle offspring into a martian slumber,
sleep overpowering the four eyes and gaian howls.

According to reports in the Wall Street Journal today, IBM is considering acquiring Sun Microsystems for $6.5 billion. The competitors have long battled over the server market, and the acquisition could be a big coup for IBM on that front. At one time during the height of the dotcom boom, Sun was valued at $205 billion. In recent years, Sun has suffered financially, according to the Wall Street Journal report, because it relies mostly on selling higher-end systems, with the financial industry being a major focus.
Besides the server market, the deal would give IBM a bigger presence in open source. Sun's Java programming language is enormously popular. The acquisition would put IBM squarely in the forefront of the open source business--but at the same time, would also create an environment with incompatible hardware technologies. In addition, the corporate cultures are vastly different between the two companies, with Sun's management philosophy revolving around giving engineers a much greater range of freedom.
Is it a good idea for IBM? Maybe not. the hardware business is one of the slowest growing segments of technology there is, and the inevitable confusion may well push some customers to competitors like HP. IBM may be more interested in Sun's Java language and database software. The acquisition is by no means a done deal at this point though, and the Journal notes that Sun has also been in talks with others--and an acquisition by IBM would no doubt raise some antitrust concerns.
The deal would give IBM a big boost in the open source business though, and would give the company a chance to transform Sun's open source software products into profit centers. IBM does promote Linux, but does so in such a way as to create a framework for selling services that surround the open source system, something Sun hasn't been particularly good at.
The Sun reseller community is a bit "unsettled" on the whole issue, and even the rumors of acquisition by IBM may cause a lot of customers to put off buying Sun for the time being.

As a child, Paul Beckwith's love affair with music began playing the piano, guitar, and drums, but he was always searching for the next song or gadget to progress his experiments with sound. After hearing House music at a warehouse party in Brooklyn in his teenage years, Paul became obsessed with this new world of sounds and his hunger for electronic musical development led him to Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he was able to define and refine his abilities to create music interweaving underground beats with soaring pop vocals, and complex instrumental arrangements.
Beckwith's wide array of sounds and projects caught our attention long ago and we have been following this diverse artist closely. We had the awesome opportunity to sit down with him and learn more about his recently released compilation "Bekwith 01 Remixed"…listen and read on below to discover more about this ground-breaking Deep House artist.
SBB: It is no secret that we are one of your biggest fans. We think that your music is the most promising and profound sound in dance music today. Tell us about your inspirations and your musical background that has shaped the pure music you create today.
Beckwith: I've been a lifelong musician, but didn't get into House Music until 1999. My inspiration I usually try to just draw from my daily life, to make honest music. I think the most important thing in music is that its honest – with that honesty you connect with people better.
SBB: Your recent album "Beckwith 01 Mixed" is an absolute masterpiece. What are your personal favorite tracks on the compilation?
Beckwith: That's a really hard one to be honest, as every single record on there is one of my children…If I had to pick I'd say I really love Craymal, Seven Olives, End of Brooklyn, and Townsend Sling are my faves.
SBB: You call yourself the Deep House Solider, but we'd like to formally change your title to the Deep House KING. Who would you consider the leader in the Deep House space right now?
Beckwith: *laughs… If its alright with you can I stay at the Soldier level? Honestly I've never felt too comfortable standing apart from the crowd. I like to be among the people! Perhaps that's why I like DJ booths that are level with the dance floor rather than elevated. As far as the leader in Deep House that's really a no brainer. Dusky are at the top of their game and leading everyone. Nuff said.
SBB: We can't stop bumping your guest mix for Episode 40 of Above & Beyond's Group Therapy radio…how did you go about compiling your mix? Was it surreal playing on ABGT?
Beckwith: It was pretty surreal having a mix on the second largest radio show on Earth. Basically what I did is collect my favorite records that I had produced. I produced a special downtempo intro for Back to Love because I wanted the kids to hear something new, and I also made the worldwide debut of my peacemaker project remix. I threw in Jody's remix of Coming For You because it's just such an ill track, and then I closed out with Music Sounds Better With You. This is my absolute all-time favorite record…I had been waiting YEARS to use it in a radio show, and I figured, what better time than now?
SBB: No doubt! We absolutely loved all your guest mix selections. How does it feel to be part of the Anjunadeep family?
Beckwith: In a word? Phenomenal. In this day and age of digital downloads and fly by night labels I'm very lucky to have a label home that not only is competent, but also nurtures a family environment. Recently I had a chance to meet the whole staff when I played in London and it confirmed my suspicions… They are a group of people with great hearts and are deadly smart. A lot of labels these days just try to sign a hit or two from someone and then discard them. Anjunadeep has an amazing A&R staff that focuses very hard on developing their artists, and making sure that we can all move forward together. Then of course there are those opportunities like my first gig opening for Above and Beyond at the Roseland Ballroom… You know… No big deal! Honestly I couldn't be happier with my label family, and they really do feel like family to me.
SBB: We are so glad to hear that you're surrounded by such a supportive team that will nurture your blossoming artistry. Do you have plans to go on tour in 2014?
Beckwith: There may be something in the works! I can't quite announce anything yet but I can say I'll be playing the We Are FSTVL outside of London in May! We'll see what happens around then….
SBB: We love listening to your simple and smooth tunage while sipping cocktails… what is your drink of choice? A martini, up, dry, extra dirty with Seven Olives perhaps?
Beckwith: Actually, that's my wife's drink! I'm a big fan of a good Manhattan on the rocks, or an excellent glass of Bordeaux. Also you can't forget an 18 year old neat Scotch…..
SBB: Our motto is "Life Is Too Short For Bad Music", what is a motto that you live by?
Beckwith: "Its not coal mining" – In other words, if you're feeling down…. Remember it could always be worse!
SBB: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Beckwith: My dream goal? Would be to be doing well enough that my wife and I could tour the world on someone else's dime doing shows. Could you imagine anything more fun?
SBB: Well we see you at the very TOP, and we can't wait to experience your top class beats live very soon! Thank you for your time, and keep up the GREAT work!
Beckwith: Thanks so much for all the kind words! I'd better get back to work… the next Anjunadeep EP is due in just a couple weeks! Also… I may or may not have an announcement about a show I may or may not be headlining in Brooklyn on January 11th… hope to see you there!
Be sure to catch Beckwith at LASALA with Michael Berry, KTLYST, and Cliff Gerdes on Saturday January 11, 2014, in Brooklyn NYC. Time to get back to love with the Deep House Soldier himself.

In this article, you'll learn how to design a pop-up form, generate the form code for your site, and publish changes to existing pop-up forms.
Before You Start
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
- Like all MailChimp forms, pop-up signup forms are created in the Form Builder for a specific list. Customize related response pages and emails in the General Forms section.
- A pop-up form that advertises a contest or giveaway has the potential to attract subscribers who may only be interested in a particular offer or event. These subscribers may not open or click through future emails that you send to your list. To combat this, create compelling campaigns more likely to keep recipients engaged over time.
- Depending on the code behind the scenes of your website, the pop-up signup form may look different from you expected. Sometimes, additional CSS is required to style the form correctly on your site.
- When a visitor sees the pop-up signup form on your site, we'll store a cookie in their browser to keep it from appearing again, even if they don't choose to fill out the form. If they clear browser cookies or visit after a year, they will see the pop-up form again.
Design the Form
The Form Builder for the pop-up signup form allows you to design your form in the editing pane and see the changes in real time. Use the Desktop and Mobile buttons in the upper-left corner of the screen to see how your form will appear on different devices.
Follow these steps to design your pop-up form and generate the HTML to paste in your website's code.
- Navigate to the Lists page.
- Click the drop-down menu for your list and click
Signup forms.
- Select Subscriber pop-up.
- On the
Design tab in the editing pane, choose from four layout options, and format your
Form Labels,
Button Styling, and
Modal Styling.
When the pop-up form appears on your site, the screen behind your form grays out to emphasize the pop-up modal.
Set the Overlay Opacity from 1–100, where lower values are more transparent and higher values are more solid. Use only numerical values—the setting won't work if you use text or other characters, like %. If you leave the Overlay Opacity field blank, we'll default to our recommended opacity.
- To view the
Hover Color,
Close Link Color, and
Overlay Opacity, click
Pop-up Preview in the upper-right corner.
- On the
Fields tab, check the boxes for the fields you want to include on your form.
Click and hold the handle to the left of the fields to drag and drop the fields in the order you want.
To require a field, toggle the slider to a green checkmark in the Required column.
- On the
Content tab, upload your image from the
Content Manager, and add content to the body and footer blocks. Body content appears above the form fields, and footer content appears below the form field section.
If the layout you chose on the Design tab is the text-only layout, you won't see the option to upload an image.
- On the Settings tab, choose the Pop-up Delay, and set the Max Pop-up Width in pixels.
- Click
Generate Code.
- Copy the form code provided, and add the code to your site's HTML. The best place to add the code varies from site to site, so reach out to a developer if you're not sure where to modify your site's HTML.
- Fields that are required in your list are not automatically marked as required on the pop-up signup form. Make sure any required fields you want are marked as required on the Fields tab.
- Group fields can be required on the pop-up signup form. This is not an option on our hosted or embedded signup forms.
- The pop-up signup form doesn't support translation.
Edit the Form
After you add the pop-up signup form code to your site, you may need to make changes to the form. Follow these steps to edit the form.
- Navigate to the Lists page.
- Click the drop-down menu for your list, and click
Signup forms.
- Select
Subscriber pop-up.
- Make the edits you want, and click
- Click
Publish in the pop-up modal to automatically push these changes to the form code on your site.

I walk around my house with a cowboy hat on ,chaps and boots and thats it,,lol,,actually that when the kids are out and the wife wants to play ,,lol
My family has horses, so we have 20 acres, and I spend my weekends working outside taking care of the animal or the property. Here in Florida, these chores normally involve a bunch of sweat. Being old fashioned, watching too many cowboy and early detective shows in my youth, and living on a "farm" it was my belief that I would carry a revolver on my hip when doing these chores. However, in only a year, I have coverted to a Glock 23 as my farm gun. It is more resistant to the elements. It weighs less than my magnum revolver, and carries more rounds (not that I anticipate needing many) and the dang thing points well in my hand is very accurate.
As a kid I used to hate the older movies where the cowboys would ride around in a Model T. It just seemed wrong. I fee the same sense of wrongness now. I wander around my property with boots, baseball cap, leather gloves, and a piece of combat tupperware on my hip (sometimes in a plastic holster), but there you go.
I have been told that if I contiue my therapy of using this plastic pistol to shoot the center out of the target, that I will eventually get over my yearing for "the good ole days". I hope not, cause I like having the excuse to hit the range.
I walk around my house with a cowboy hat on ,chaps and boots and thats it,,lol,,actually that when the kids are out and the wife wants to play ,,lol
Wow TcRoc. You go out to get the mail in that getup you'll give neighbors quite the show.
They'd just wonder why I had chaps on,,lol
I thought I was the only cowboy left from the good old days of Hoppy and Roy,not to forget Tex Ritter and a host of others that kept my Saturdays full.
I still ride horses and wear my cowboy hat ,chaps and anything else that transports me back into the 1800's.
On my farm though,I had to hang up my Ruger 44 magnum,cause the damn thing was just pulling my pants down.Now, I carry either a Glock 19,XD40sc,or a Colt 1911.
Happy Trails to you !
You need to look up a sport called "Cowboy Action Shooting"... get a 45 Long Colt...
Thanks for the replies guys, except for the first one about walking around with only chaps on - the image is hurting my head- how does one scour out one's brain
Anyway, I have done cowboy shooting and I love it. I own two Ruger Vaquero in 357 and a Winchester in the same caliber as well as my Dad's old double barrel 20 ga.
I also have a Ruger in 45 LC with a 3" barrel.
I just ordered some classic grips from Eagle for my 3" model Smith 64. So my facination with revolvers continues, despite my slide into the dark plastic side.
I normally shoot some kind of revolver in my local IDPA match - in fact folks seem to get a bit testy when I don't shoot a revolver during that competition. Maybe it is because I run the tables when I use the Glock.
How often do you encounter wild indians passing through your ranch?
None, since they all know that I am packing
Actually my bigger concerns are snakes - Florida has plenty of the poisonous ones and rabid animals, as I am surrounded by forest in 3 directions. I have been hearing some coyotes but I am not too worried about them taking down a horse who is protected by a herd. I do have a small dog who would be coyote bait if I am not careful.
Glock makes a good farm gun IMO!
Even those revolvers were the "new fancy" stuff of their time. Times change and there is nothing wrong with being smart about what you carry.
TOF, Wild Indians that is funny. I am a not-so-wild indian, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. Heck, I even grew up on the reservation.
This Indian packs a Hi-Power/Glock 22/226/GP100/AR15/M1A NM/SOCOM 45. If you ever encounter me, I probably just want to BS about guns!

ALVA, Okla. – Northwestern didn't have any trouble dispensing of Graceland (Iowa) in the first two games of the four-game series between the two teams, as the Rangers downed the Yellowjackets 14-4 and 14-5 in doubleheader action on Sunday afternoon.
Northwestern took a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the opener, using three Ranger hits and two Yellowjacket errors. After a single run in the fifth inning, Northwestern added four more runs in the third and fourth innings.
The Yellowjackets scored four runs on four hits in the top of the fifth inning, but a Wade Schwerdtfeger single to left field put the Rangers up by 10 runs and halted the game due to the 10-run run-rule.
Chase Phelps (1-0) got his first victory of the season, pitching 4.2 innings. Phelps fanned six batters and gave up four hits, while not allowing an earned run. Josh Swain pitched the final out.
Kyle Weber drove in half the Ranger runs, going 3-for-3 with two runs scored. Weber had a fourth inning grand slam in addition to a double and single. He was responsible for driving in seven Ranger runs. J.C. Aguayo and Schwerdtfeger both had two hits in the game.
Northwestern got out to a slow start in game two and didn't register its first hit until the fourth inning. In that inning, the Rangers scored six runs on four hits as Schwerdtfeger and Michael Ciombor both had doubles, taking a 6-2 lead.
The Rangers added four more runs in the fifth and sixth innings, while Graceland scored three runs in the sixth inning.
Eddie Cumpston also advanced to 1-0 on the season after pitching 4.1 innings. He struck out seven batters, while allowing just three hits and an earned run. Danny Santiago pitched 1.2 innings of relief and struck out three batters and Derek Epps struck out a batter in the final inning of work.
Northwestern doubled up the Yellowjackets in hits, out-hitting them 10-5. Chris Russell, Quinton Haynes and Weber all turned in two-hit performances. Half of the Rangers hits were doubles as Weber picked up two more and Vincent Valdez, Ciombor and Schwerdtfeger each had a double.
Northwestern (3-1) will play the final two games of the four-game series with Graceland (1-1) on Monday, Feb. 14. First pitch is set for noon at Myers Stadium.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Memory :: Concussion
A concussion is a mild brain injury that can cause temporary memory impairment. A concussion happens when the head receives a hard impact that cannot be absorbed via the fluid that surrounds and protects the brain. When the brain slams into the skull, it can become damaged. The sudden acceleration can also tear the fragile axons throughout the brain.
A concussion can cause temporary unconsciousness, confusion, amnesia and other mental disturbances. Typically, symptoms go away after a few hours to a few days, but some severe concussions can cause permanent impairments such as headaches, sensitivity to light or sound, memory problems, dizziness, depression and anxiety.
The best way to protect yourself from getting a concussion is to wear a proper helmet when participating in any activity that might result in a blow to the head (football, biking, skateboarding, skiing, hockey, etc). Some of the worst concussions happen during car accidents, so be sure to wear your seatbelt and drive safely. You should avoid activities such as boxing, which involve repeated blows to the head. Studies show that multiple concussions can lead to dementia and other memory problems later in life.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that the body needs to function properly. It is required for healthy skin, teeth and bones and it is essential for the brain to produce neurotransmitters such as dopamine and adrenalin. Our immune system also needs this vitamin to stay in tip-top shape.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that has been shown to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other age related memory problems, especially when used in combination with vitamin E.
Every plant and nearly every animal on the planet can produce their own vitamin C. Humans are one of the exceptions. This means that we need to get our vitamin C from food sources such as oranges or broccoli. Without vitamin C, people develop a fatal disease called scurvy. In the past, this was common among sailors because it was difficult to keep fruits and vegetables on long sea journeys.
Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are created in the brain. A common myth is that adults are losing some number of neurons every second and that there is nothing we can do about it because the brain cannot create new neurons. While it's true that most neurogenesis happens in childhood and adolescence, adults do continue to make new neurons throughout life.
Much of this adult neurogenesis occurs in the hippocampus which is the key area for learning and memory. Because of this, the hippocampus experiences very little age related shrinkage as compared to other parts of brain.
It's useful to note that stress can inhibit neurogenesis and physical exercise can improve the brain's ability to create new neurons.
Without new and interesting experiences our brains get bored and lazy. One way to introduce some novelty into your lives is to try new foods. The sense of taste is an underused sense that has a large capacity to trigger old memories. One bite of your grandmother's apple pie might bring back dozens of childhood experiences.
Instead of having your normal everyday breakfast, try something completely new. If you always have cereal, have eggs instead. If you cook at home, try to incorporate one new recipe each week. When you are at the grocery store grab one item off the shelf that you have never had before and take it home for a taste-test. If you eat out or order in, branch out and try a new restaurant or order something from the menu that you have never had before. If you never try new things, you'll never know if you are missing out on something that you really like. The new tastes and smells will help form new memories and may even remind you of something long forgotten.
The peg mnemonic system can be used to remember long numbers. Since each digit has its own pegword, you simply need to link the pegwords together to remember each subsequent digit. Here are the rhyming pegwords for each digit.
For example, let's say that your credit card number is 5831-7489-2467-0000 (not a real credit card number!). You could memorize this by linking the words: hive-gate-tree-bun-heaven-door....
Use this technique to remember account numbers, PINs, phone numbers, social security numbers, etc. You could even memorize the digits of pi (3.14159265...) using this method.

I think you can call yourself 3d, 3c/4a, or whatever you want. The entire "curl sizing" system is made up (as in not a hard fact science) anyways, so if someone wants to add or subtract categories, go for it.

I tend to not agree with the few susancw posts I've read. But I have to co-sign on this one. I can understand why it's your last post, there's almost a week left and this election is definitely intense. Ignore some of the more ridiculous comments and just pray the country makes the best decision with the options we have.
And whoever is defending Acorn do you think they are just registering fake people for kicks? This is not a few stray volunteers meeting a quota. This is a systemic problem that is "conveniently" occurring in all the swing states. They also receive federal funds to not register all the people they claim and thereafter clog up the courts and electoral offices with their dubious voter rolls. I think you would want to look into the sketchy history of the organization yourself before you sing their praises. And you might want to recheck the definition of voter fraud because they is exactly what they are doing. It's called voter registration fraud. There are lots of ways both parties try to destroy the integrity of our elections. But I'm not going to pretend ACORN is some great organization especially with the role they played in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crisis. I will say that I'm surprised there isn't more hullabaloo over mail-in-registration and absentee ballots.
I never thought I'd say it but maybe we should take some electoral lessons from Mexico. They require every voter to prove citizenship and eligibility by presenting a federally issued Mexican voter ID card that bears the voter's picture, fingerprint, a holographic image to prevent tampering and a barcode. This is a very simple and elegant solution. And the Democratic party would most likely oppose it.

Easy cheesecake
This recipe is great! Simple to prepare using the pre-made chocolate crust and the white chocolate flavor is delicious. I made a homeade chocolate ceumb crust, put it in a 10inch fluted tart pan and garnished with glazed fresh strawberries and it looks like you bought it at a Bakery. Love this dessert to serve at a gathering...very impressive and delicious!
To Die For
Cheescake is one of my favorites & I am always looking for new recipes. This is totally awesome & very easy to make!
Fruited White Cheesecake
I was looking for a cheesecake recipe that had white chocolate in it and found this one. It is very, very good, simple to make and impressive with the fresh fruit. I did make a shortbread crust for mine, however, when I make this again, I will try the chocolate crust.
fruited white cheesecake
Oh My!! This cheesecake is soooo delicious!! Easy to make, and hard to resist. Definitely make one today!
I am not a fan of cheesecake! (Believe it or not!) This cheesecake was delicious, though. It is a lot creamier than any other cheesecake that I have tasted. I think the White chocolate bars were the key! I definitely will make this one again!
