(Adds details, shares)
Jan 22 (Reuters) - Property and casualty insurer Travelers Cos Inc reported a 5 percent rise in quarterly net profit, helped by higher underwriting gains and lower losses from natural disasters.
The company reported operating earnings of $3.07 per share for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31. Analysts on average had expected $2.54 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Travelers' earnings often differ substantially from Wall Street estimates as the company does not provide forecasts.
Net written premiums rose 3.6 percent to $5.84 billion, and underwriting gains rose 25.7 percent to $866 million.
Travelers' combined ratio, the percentage of premium revenue an insurer has to pay out in claims, improved to 85 percent in the quarter from 87.7 percent a year earlier. A combined ratio of under 100 indicates an underwriting profit.
The company, a Dow Jones Industrial Average component, has aggressively raised premiums in the past quarters to offset low interest rates that have hurt its fixed-income investments.
"We remain very pleased with, and intend to continue, our proactive, account by account, class by class pricing strategy," Chief Executive Jay Fishman said in a statement.
The company said net income rose to $1.04 billion, or $3.11 per share, in the fourth quarter, from $988 million, or $2.70 per share, a year earlier.
Pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, fell to $41 million from $53 million. Net investment income fell 9.3 percent to $637 million.
As one of the first insurers to report results, Travelers' results are seen as a bellwether for the industry.
The company's shares gained about 17 percent last year, outperforming a 7.5 percent rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index. (Reporting by Amrutha Gayathri in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)

This is a long article but well worth the read. Best line:
Childers and his militia drove into the city, where they found Kony's mother. "So, I hear you're trying to meet my son," she said to Childers. "No, ma'am," he replied. "I'm not trying to meet your son. I'm trying to kill him."
Second half of the article here: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/f...?currentPage=3The Lord's Resistance Army—a murderous rebel group made up mostly of Ugandans, and led by a crazed warlord named Joseph Kony—today ranges across the jungles and scrubland of Uganda, Congo, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. Its ranks may be depleted, but the remnant deals death wherever it goes. U.S.-backed military forces are trying to hunt Kony down. So is a Pennsylvania-based evangelical preacher named Sam Childers—a biker and former drug dealer who has found his calling in this quest for a killer. Last year the author joined Childers as he continued his hunt for Kony. It is a story of pursuer and pursued, each believing that God is on his side.
It's two a.m., and we're barreling down a deeply pocked dirt road in Southern Sudan. In the cool of night, the temperature is nearly 100 degrees. Sam Childers, 46, is behind the wheel of a chrome-tinted Mitsubishi truck. Christian rock blares on the speakers. He has a Bible on the dash and a shotgun that he calls his "widow-maker" leaning against his left knee. His top sergeant, Santino Deng, 34, a Dinka tribesman with an anthracite complexion and radiant black eyes, sits in the passenger seat, an AK-47 across his lap. I sit in the back. Since leaving the town of Mundri, headed toward the Congolese border, we've been driving for two bone-jarring days on roads littered with the charred wrecks of armored vehicles and fuel tankers, remnants of battles past. A truck follows close behind, carrying 15 men from the small militia group under Childers's personal command. The convoy is on its way to a Sudanese town called Maridi. In the area we're passing through, just hours ago soldiers from the Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A.) hacked 15 villagers to death with machetes, then disappeared into the bush. Intelligence sources from the Sudan People's Liberation Army—the ragtag military wing of the breakaway government of Southern Sudan—have indicated that elements of the L.R.A. are now headed to Maridi. Childers wants to intercept them, and kill their leader.
The unflappable Ugandan driving the militia truck wears a torn white pro-life T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of a fetus, a gift from Childers. Most members of his militia are born-again Christians whom Childers has baptized himself. Childers switches from Christian rock to Aerosmith's "Livin' on the Edge," turning up the volume. He's getting close to his prey. "Let's do this," he says. To remove the L.R.A.'s cover, villagers have set fire to the elephant grass on either side of the road. Behind us, the past disappears in a cloud of dust. Ahead, the headlights peer down a fiery tunnel. Sergeant Deng, in the passenger seat, turns around to me and says, "God's assassins."
Sam Childers is known in these parts, and back home in Pennsylvania, simply as the Reverend Sam. He is not your typical evangelical Christian missionary, nor, as a white American, is he your typical African warlord. Childers is a former drug dealer and outlaw biker, with tired eyes framed by grizzly muttonchops and a walrus mustache. He claims divine justification for what he does. In firefights, he says, God sometimes tells him when to shoot. He speaks country-singer American, with plenty of grit, and he recounts, over and over, the same stories from his bar-brawling days. He lifts weights, favors army fatigues, and keeps a .44 Magnum tucked in the small of his back. Harley tattoos stretch down his thick arms, and "Freedom Fighter" is airbrushed on the back of his truck. He once owned 15 pit bulls. He seems suited more to bending steel in a motorcycle shop than to saving souls in Sudanese villages.
In 1992, Childers was born again, having promised his wife he would come to Jesus if God granted them a child. A child was born. Leaving behind a life of drugs and crime, Childers set up a hardscrabble church in rural Pennsylvania. In 1998 he used his meager savings to take his first missionary trip to Sudan. He ended up near the border with Uganda, where a complicated and bloody conflict—one of Africa's so-called forgotten wars—has been raging since 1987. At the center of the fighting is the Lord's Resistance Army, a guerrilla group led by a Ugandan named Joseph Kony. The L.R.A.'s stated goal is to overthrow the Ugandan government and install a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments. That effort has entailed systematically ignoring at least one of the commandments, Thou Shalt Not Kill. Most of the others have been breached as well. This forgotten war is the continent's longest running. It spills across the border from Uganda into Southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo as the L.R.A. scours the region for conscripts and supplies.
What transformed Childers into a zealot was, as he later wrote, "a metal disk about the size of a dinner plate." A land mine had been placed along a road near the town of Yei, and a child made the mistake of stepping on it. Childers happened upon the torso. In time, he liquidated his construction business, sold his pit bulls, auctioned his antique-gun collection, and mortgaged his home to help pay for regular trips to Sudan, where he began spending most of his time. He became obsessed with the fate of the thousands of children who have lost their parents to the fighting. In due course he would set up an orphanage in Sudan. But it was Joseph Kony who grabbed his attention. "I found God in 1992," Childers says, in what is by now a ritual formulation. "I found Satan in 1998." He has vowed to track Kony down and, in biblical fashion, to smite him. He has been trying for years. But this specific ambition has led to a broader entanglement in the region's conflicts. Childers is now helping to feed and supply the Sudan People's Liberation Army (S.P.L.A.), and he has made his home in Uganda available to the rebels for a radio-relay station. An arms depot stands at the heart of his orphanage. Childers also maintains his own paid militia force—a platoon of seasoned fighters recruited from the S.P.L.A.—and for his efforts, he says, the government of Southern Sudan has named him an honorary commander, the only white man to achieve that distinction. The Ugandan and Southern Sudanese militaries give Childers wide latitude to roam an increasingly bloody militarized zone.
It is hard to know what his African allies make of this Bible-wielding biker from the Alleghenies. Before setting out on his most recent hunt for Kony, Childers had ordered his men to bow their heads in prayer and ask for God's help. No one remarked on the irony of one man's invoking divine sanction in order to kill a man who also invokes divine sanction. I once asked an S.P.L.A. officer about Childers and his activities, and he said simply, "He is a man of God. That's what I can say to you. He is a man of God."
Altar Boy, with Machete
A tall Dinka named James Majok Mam, 28, has fallen asleep on my shoulder. Perhaps the rumble of the S.U.V. made him drowsy, but it might also have been Childers's droning on about the feature film that he hopes will be made about his life, a proj ect advanced by a Hollywood agent. The soldiers in the vehicle begin talking about moments when they thought they might kill Kony. There was the time they captured an L.R.A. soldier believed to be part of Kony's inner circle. Childers wanted to sedate the man and surgically implant a transmitter so he could be tracked when he returned to the base camp. An S.P.L.A. commander overruled Childers and dealt with the man the old-fashioned way—he executed him.
Then there was the time Childers and his men lay in wait for three days with sniper rifles on a cliff overhanging the road to Juba, the de facto capital of Southern Sudan. Kony was expected to pass by on his way to peace talks. When Kony failed to show, Childers and his militia drove into the city, where they found Kony's mother. "So, I hear you're trying to meet my son," she said to Childers. "No, ma'am," he replied. "I'm not trying to meet your son. I'm trying to kill him."
To understand Sam Childers you have to understand his nemesis. Born in the early 1960s, Joseph Kony grew up in the town of Odek, near the city of Gulu, in northwestern Uganda. A quiet child and a former altar boy, he was best known in Odek for his skill at the Larakaraka, a traditional Acholi dance. By age 12 he became a healer, and by 1987 he had appointed himself a prophet to his fellow Acholi people, forming what would become the Lord's Resistance Army. The government in northern Sudan soon began backing the L.R.A., to counter the Ugandan government's backing of the S.P.L.A.
Initially, the Lord's Resistance Army enjoyed popularity among the Acholi, who were marginalized when Uganda's current president, Yoweri Museveni, seized power in 1986. That support dissipated as Kony began terrorizing the countryside with a ruthlessness reminiscent of the Khmer Rouge. Over the next two dec ades, the L.R.A. forced two million people to flee to squalid refugee camps in northern Uganda and Southern Sudan. The L.R.A. has also abducted more than 30,000 children, turning the boys, some as young as eight, into soldiers, and the girls into sex slaves. The aim, according to the L.R.A.'s twisted theology, was to purify the Ugandan people. For years, in the countryside of northern Uganda, children left their villages at dusk to walk miles, usually barefoot and parentless, into the closest towns, where they slept in better-protected schools and parks to avoid being abducted. At dawn, they trekked back home. They were known as "night commuters."
Non-commuters risked a terrible fate. I met a boy named Louis who had been kidnapped by the L.R.A. at age 10. He escaped a year later and was taken to Childers's orphanage. With a thousand-yard stare, the boy sat on a wooden bench in a schoolhouse and told me about life under what the locals call the "Tong Tong," or "Cut Cut" (the phrase refers to the practice of amputating hands and feet as a form of punishment). After being taken one night from his hut, Louis, now 13, said he was bound with a rope to five other children and frog-marched through the forest back to an L.R.A. camp. At one point, the soldiers stopped them in order to watch an "initiation." An older woman had fallen behind, and the soldiers ordered the woman's 10-year-old son to kill her. "He hit his mother on the back of her head until she was dead," said Louis, demonstrating with his tiny hands how the boy had swung the log. In all likelihood, people at the orphanage say, Louis is the child in his own story.
Even for a region with a vivid memory of Idi Amin, the L.R.A.'s brutality manages to shock. Soldiers in dreadlocks routinely cut off the lips, noses, and breasts of villagers to deter informants. Women are raped, then forced to watch as their infants are bayoneted. Kony cites biblical precedent to explain why it is sometimes necessary to murder his own people. In his camps he exudes a Jim Jones aura of fear and awe. Some of those who have escaped describe a pious man who plays with children and treats his 50 "wives" with respect. Others conjure a mercurial monster who, for obscure reasons, decreed an injunction against eating white chickens and chops off the feet of people seen bicycling. "I've been in a hundred countries and seen almost as many conflicts and humanitarian disasters," Jan Egeland, the former United Nations undersecretary for humanitarian affairs, told me. "I've never seen an evil like Kony's."
Kony smears his troops with mystical oils that he says will protect them from bullets. He is known to speak in tongues, and, like Childers, claims to have received military advice from the Holy Spirit. He named one of his sons "George Bush," after the American president. In 2005 the International Criminal Court in The Hague indicted Kony and his top echelon for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, and kidnapping.
Forced by Ugandan troops deep into a swampy and overgrown no-man's-land in Congo, Kony was largely on the defensive for about three years. But after several failed attempts to coax him into peace talks, and continued L.R.A. attacks, the Ugandan government lost patience, and in December 2008, it decided to bomb the L.R.A.'s encampment. The mission was a disaster. Despite active assistance from the S.P.L.A. and covert help from the U.S. military—a team of 17 Pentagon advisers and analysts provided satellite phones, intelligence, and $1 million in fuel—the Ugandan troops failed to cut off the escape routes. Kony's fighters, estimated to number between 600 and 1,000, splintered into smaller groups and slipped away like a metastasizing cancer. Marauding from village to village, the various groups moved from Congo into Southern Sudan, burning and butchering along the way. In one Congolese village, they attacked a Catholic church on Christmas day, killing about 50 worshippers. Perhaps because of the holiday timing, this act received worldwide attention. Over the next few weeks, as many as 1,000 civilians were murdered, mostly with machetes and clubs, because Kony is short on ammunition. According to Childers's contacts in the S.P.L.A., one of these splinter groups, perhaps with Kony himself in charge, now had Maridi in its sights.
Preacher, with Machine Gun
Sam Childers grew up in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and when his high-school alumni bulletin recently printed an item noting that he had become a preacher, people took it as a joke. "I always thought he was a little crazy and more violent than anyone I ever met," says Scott Wagner, 47, who Childers told me had been one of his best friends back then. "Honestly, I think at one time he might have been the Antichrist." Childers was one of three boys, sons of an ironworker father and a stay-at-home mother. His family moved from state to state following big construction proj ects before settling in Minnesota. Childers never liked school, but it gave him the chance to get out of the house and do what he loved: drink alcohol and smoke pot. By eighth grade he was using LSD and amphetamines. Before long he was into heroin and other drugs, as both a user and a dealer. By 16, townies had dubbed him "Doc" because he was so adept at finding veins for shooting up. That same year, Childers left high school and moved out of the house. He began carrying a sawed-off shotgun around with him. Using drug money to buy his first big motorcycle, he was soon riding with the Outlaws, the Hells Angels, and the Pagans.
"My life was a cesspool in those days, and I loved every minute of it," Childers says. He compares himself to the biblical figure Ishmael, whose wild spirit, he says, drove women into transports of desire. "It was insane. I would have five girls in a single night. I mean, seriously, I could have had your mother if I had wanted her." He glares at me, a speck of food stuck in his mustache, as if I don't believe him. More than the drugs and sex, it was the violence that fed Childers. Two of his high-school friends recall how Childers used to blame his anger on something his mother had done when he was five years old. Childers had been invited to a local Indian powwow, and his mother thought it would be fun to dress him as a cowboy. The joke didn't go over well, and the Indian kids beat Childers up. According to the high-school friends, he vowed it would never happen again. When I ask Childers about the incident, he walks to a filing cabinet in his church office and pulls out a faded newspaper clipping, with a photo of him in his cowboy getup. "Yeah, I'm still ticked about that," he says.
In his autobiography, Another Man's War, Childers pre sents himself as a fighter on behalf of the helpless—from the streets of Grand Rapids to the jungles of Africa. He says that his father, a former Marine, taught him a simple rule: "He told us boys he would beat us if we started a fight and he would beat us if we walked away from one." Old friends paint a very different picture. "He would walk up to guys and start hammering them," says Norman Mickle, a former biker buddy. "He never really needed a reason."
"I wasn't sure if I could trust him," Scott Wagner says. And then one night he found out. After a party, he and his girlfriend were the only ones left with Childers in an empty house. The three were lounging in the living room when Childers suddenly pulled Wagner aside and demanded to have sex with his girlfriend. He gave Wagner three seconds to leave—without the girl. "It was heading to something pretty terrible," Wagner remembers. After pleading proved ineffective, Wagner pulled out what was left of his night's supply of drugs and offered it as ransom. Childers took the drugs and vanished.
Today, when he is not in Sudan, the Reverend Sam—together with his wife, Lynn, a former stripper—serves as the spiritual leader of the Shekinah Fellowship Church, in deeply depressed Central City, Pennsylvania. It was Lynn, whom Childers met during a drug deal at the Fox Hole bar, in Orlando, Florida, in the early 1980s, who calmed him down. Lynn found religion, and then Childers did, too. Even Ishmael eventually repented, in Childers's version of the story. As a boy, Childers had lived briefly just across the highway, Route 160, from where his church stands now. Up the road, the steel mills and coal mines have long since closed. Two nearby prisons, the Somerset and Laurel Highlands State Correctional Institutions, and the Wal-Mart distribution center, in Bedford, are the area's largest employers. From the outside, the Shekinah Fellowship Church looks more like an abandoned high-school auditorium than like a place of worship. The outer walls are open-faced insulation, a shrine to Tyvek.
On Sunday mornings, Childers does not behave like a swaggering vigilante. A tear rolls down his cheek as he talks about his mission to Africa. Some 30 or so parishioners hang on every gesture, every word. They know about the arms dealing. They know about the pursuit of Kony. Dressed in black jeans, biker boots, and a black blazer over a Harley-Davidson T-shirt, Childers stands behind a chrome-plated podium. A guitarist, drummer, and small choir stand to the side of the stage. Several menacing young men—former and current members of the biker gang the Outlaws—stand at the back of the church. Tattooed and wearing steel-tipped boots and ZZ Top beards, they look like younger, tougher versions of the preacher. The older men seem broken, not a trace of aggression left in their bones. Several arrive in cars without mufflers that barely make it up the steep gravel driveway. They park next to Childers's red Hummer. The older men are overweight and slow to stand. Two of them have small oxygen tanks at their sides. Some of the older women wear Steelers jackets as they file in, dog-eared Bibles in hand.
"Who am I to deserve all this?," Childers intones, waving his hand over the expanse of the church as if over the Seven Cities of Gold. It's an odd question to pose to this weathered congregation, whom he refers to as "a bunch of hillbillies," intending to include himself. He goes on: "Who am I to have movie stars coming to visit us? Who am I to have this new church and a best-selling book? Who am I?" Childers explains that God himself one day gave him the answer to that question: "You are the servant of me."
Another Man's War is not a self-effacing work. The reference to movie stars is shorthand for a handful of celebrities, such as the actress Sandra Bullock, the motorcycle builder Jesse James, and the country singer John Rich, who have taken an interest in Childers and helped him raise money. Sebastian Roche, an actor in the soap opera General Hospital, has been preparing a documentary about Childers, to be called Machine Gun Preacher. With slender good looks and a slight French accent, Roche is the type of person that Childers's biker acolytes might beat up for sport. He met Childers two years ago at a charity event for Sudan. Likening him to Dog, the Bounty Hunter, Roche sees Childers as the embodiment of two archetypes Hollywood always falls for: the high-school delinquent and the gutsy do-gooder. "Actors love Sam for the same reason they love U.F.C. fighters," he adds. "He's the real deal. He doesn't fantasize or pretend to do dangerous stuff—he actually does it."

Rocker Chris Cornell's Connection To Country Music [Videos]
Yesterday, the music world was shocked to learn that Chris Cornell, singer of the rock band Soundgarden, has passed away. His death is being ruled a suicide, but an official cause of death has yet to be released.

In 1996, legend Johnny Cash released the album "Unchained" which feature a cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage". It's been a personal favorite of mine since it was released. It flat out rocks. Cornell had said of Cash's version of the song "When Johnny Cash sings, you listen to what he's saying. It's a whole different angle"

The Butler comes into Number Two's office and serves breakfast. The only other occupant of the room is a guardian sphere, seated in Number Two's chair. The butler rings a serving bell and a prior Number Two rises from beneath the floor. Irritable and on edge, he tests the food and then orders it removed. When the Butler ignores him, Number Two snaps out his request again, then tells him to remove the guardian sphere. He loudly declares that he isn't an inmate. He then calls his superiors and tells them that they used the wrong approach against Number Six, and they now have to do it his way or find someone else. He then switches on the monitor screen to Number Six in his flat. He snaps at the screen, asking Number Six why he cares, then calls Number Six and repeats the question. Number Six says he knows him. When Number Two repeats the question, Number Six says he'll never know. He hangs up and goes outside, angrily confronting a man with an umbrella. Number Six asks what his number is and the man nervously refuses to answer as Number Six rattles off numbers at him.
Number Two goes over the records on Number Six and calls his superiors to request permission to use "Degree Absolute". He informs them that they'll have to risk both him and Number Six, but it's the only way to find out why Number Six resigned. They allow him one week and he says that isn't enough time if they want to avoid "damaging" Number Six, but that is their final answer. He orders the Observers out of the Observation Room and then he and the Supervisor monitor Number Six as he sleeps. They use a wavelength generator on him, seemingly amplifying his brain waves to the point of danger. Number Two finally cuts off the treatment and informs the Supervisor that he has no choice but to undergo Degree Absolute.
That night, the wavelength generator, disguised as a lamp, is lowered over Number Six's sleeping head. Number Two enters the flat and starts loudly reciting nursery rhymes. Number Six doesn't wake up. The next morning, Number Two removes the device and tells a now regressed Number Six to get dressed and come along. The Butler places Number Six in a wheelchair and they take him to Number Two's office. They then descend through the floor and take a moving walkway to a large black-walled chamber, the Embryo, with a scattering of props and a kitchen within a cage.
Number Two sets the door lock for one week and seals the chamber. He says that they will now proceed through the seven ages of man, as written by Shakespeare. They begin with the Infant: Number Six is placed in a crib and the Butler shakes a rattle. Number Two presents himself as Number Six 's father and they play on a seesaw. When Number Two starts to probe for answers, Number Six abruptly leaps off the seesaw, leaving Number Two to tumble to the floor.
Next, the Schoolboy: Number Two is the teacher and summons Number Six to his office. He accuses him of talking in class and Number Six denies it, but admits he knows who was talking. Number Two demands to know who it is but Number Six refuses to rat on his fellow pupil as a matter of honour. Next is graduation day and Number Two praises Number Six for obedience and gives him his diploma. He then asks why Number Six resigned, and Number Six refuses to answer. They both scream at each other and Number Six tries to strangle Number Two. The Butler casually knocks him unconscious.
Next, the Athlete: They subject Number Six to further regression, but even in his childlike state he refuses to even acknowledge the number six. Number Six is a boxer and Number Two his trainer. He taunts Number Six into fighting back, saying he's the champ. Again he asks, "Why did you resign?" Number Six punches him and they switch to swords. Number Two now goads Number Six into killing. Number Six disarms him and threatens him with the blade, but refuses to stab him. Number Two accuses him of cowardice and asks if he resigned because of cowardice. Number Six refuses to answer and stabs the wall behind Number Two. Number Two pushes the matter and Number Six stabs him. Number Two notes he still can't bring himself to kill and Number Six apologises, and Number Two wonders if Number Six resigned because he was sorry.
Next, the Businessman: Number Six applies for a banking position with Number Two. As they have dinner, Number Two promises Number Six the job once he meets with the managing director. Number Two takes on that role and gives Number Six the job, but says that he will actually be doing top-secret work for the government.
Next, the Criminal: Number Six is arrested for speeding. He says that he was on a vital mission but Number Two, as the judge, finds him guilty when he can't explain whom he was saving. Again Number Two tries to get Number Six to acknowledge the number six, and again Number Six refuses. Number Six can't pay and places him in the kitchen cage, where he says he will appeal. Number two repeats the question and Number Six says he resigned for peace of mind. He demands to be released and Number Two puts a knife to his throat. Number Six dares him to cut his throat but Number Two notes that he killed during the war.
Next, the Soldier: Number Six and Number Two go on a simulated bombing mission. Number Two counts down to zero but Number Six again refuses to acknowledge the number six, causing them to miss their target the first time. The second time they succeed but are shot down. Number Two then assumes the role of a German interrogator and demands answers of Number Six, including why he resigned. Number Six simply rattles off numbers.
Number Six asks for supper and Number Two pauses to regain his energy. Number Six realises that Number Two has been trying to gain his trust, a necessary part of psychoanalysis and Degree Absolute. However, Number Two admits that if the doctor has problems of his own, the procedure is risky to him as well. Number Six begins to reverse their positions, asking Number Two why he doesn't resign. Number Two pours drinks and explains that the Embryo is used to conduct Degree Absolute, putting the patient through any and all of the seven ages of Man. The Embryo is self-contained and can sustain them for weeks. It is now only five minutes until time is up. Number Six closes the cage door, sealing Number Two in the kitchen. Recognizing the reversal, the Butler now obeys only Number Six. Number Six begins to count down the seconds as an increasingly desperate Number Two stumbles about. Number Six finally releases him with a minute left and Number Two collapses to the ground. He begs to explain why he resigned, then tries to strangle Number Six. Number Six easily shrugs off the attack and Number Two returns to the kitchen to pour himself more wine. The clock counts down to zero... and Number Two falls to the floor, dead.
Number Six checks his adversary's pulse and then looks up as the Supervisor comes in and congratulates him in on his victory. He asks what Number Six wants and is informed, "Number One." The Supervisor prepares to escort him out but first activates a door sealing off the kitchen cage. He escorts Number Six out, leaving the room dark and silent behind them.

Inspired by their long-running television series, MythBusters: Jamie and Adam Unleashed invites audience members on stage to get down and dirty with some hands-on science, and to play the roles of crash test dummies. Among other experiments, fans run a simple obstacle course with an altered sense of perspective or marvel as a medieval suit of armour faces off against a gatling gun loaded with paintballs. All the while, Savage bounces from setup to setup with a boyish, barely-contained energy, and Hyneman keeps things grounded with deadpan charm. Part physics class, part performance art, and all live-action cartoon, the show gives attendees the chance to become human guinea pigs without renting an enormous running-wheel. Catch this duo live together for what may be the last time; the pair announced that their popular series will be ending in 2016 and this is their last MythBusters tour.

In The Van On Comeback Road Part 35
I've let her know that I'll do what she wants. This is not how to win a girl's heart. This will need more thought.
Five people, one hotel room. Five people, two beds. Doesn't sound quite right, does it? The Clutch Dogs, plus a sordidly drunken Matt, return to the room at one in the morning to find Gina asleep on one of the beds. Where are the four boys to sleep? Certainly someone will have to crawl into one bed with Gina and the other three boys will have to have a sausage party in the other bed. Oh, the dilemma.
Matt starts shuffling toward Gina's bed. Jason grabs him by the shoulder and gives him a cross look. Mark slaps Jason on the shoulder to say that's not cool. Jason gives Mark a glare. No one will say anything out loud, to avoid waking up the sleeping Gina. It quickly turns into a silent pissing contest with each guy trying to climb into the bed and the other two trying to prevent it.
I go into the bathroom and splash cold water on my face. Shit, this is a mess. I go back out and the guys are doing a rock, scissor, paper contest.
"Guys," I whisper to them, "It doesn't matter who sleeps with her. It's just sleep. Mark."
"You have a girlfriend at home, right?"
He nods. "Sarah."
"Okay, you've got a girlfriend, so you can be trusted not to try anything stupid with Gina. You sleep in that bed." He nods and climbs onto the bed next to the sleeping girl. He's asleep before anyone else has a chance to pull off their shoes. Matt, Jason and I manage to squeeze onto the other bed and do our best to get comfortable without touching each other.
* * * * *
The next morning involves a lot of creaking, aching bodies stretching and popping and cracking, staggering to the bathroom, yawning and rubbing eyes. We manage to get ourselves washed and dressed and slowly move down to the van. We stand shivering in the morning wind while we load the over-stuffed vehicle.
Checking out of the hotel is no trouble this time. After playing two sets last night for no cash, we are back in the management's good books. So after stopping for a tank of gas and burnt-smelling takeout coffees we hit the highway heading west, leaving Thunder Bay behind at last.
The van is uncomfortably full, even more so because Gina and I have our guitars out in the back seat. With the two drummers up front, Jason, Gina and I sit in the back seat, with Gina attempting to teach me Machine Within A Machine's songs.
We put the distance behind us, and a few hours later we leave Ontario and pass into the province of Manitoba. Not long after that we emerge from the slow, winding two-lane highways that snake their way through the rock of the Pre-Cambrian Shield. The trees give way to rolling prairie and suddenly we start making good time. We find ourselves on the luxuriously divided Trans-Canada Highway, flying along at a good hundred and ten kilometers an hour in a nice straight line. And as cramped as we are, we manage to stay in good spirits, relieved to finally be moving.
Gina and I go through the songs again and again until our fingers get tired and clumsy. Jason, jammed against the wall with Gina and her guitar next to him, looks uncomfortable but doesn't complain. I don't say anything, but I think he's okay with the situation just because he's squished in close to Gina.
Winnipeg is visible for quite a while as you approach it. The tall buildings of the downtown area loom hazy and blue long before you reach the outskirts of the city. We drive in and park at a service station and refresh and orient ourselves. We pull out the city map and plot a route to the club where we're booked.
I stand in the parking lot stretching out stiff joints while Jason, Mark and Matt pore over the map. Gina comes out of the ladies room and joins me.
"Hey," she says. "You okay? Time to take you to the retirement home?"
"I didn't expect to hear age jokes from you," I say. "Besides, who likes sitting in a van for six hours?"
"I'm just teasing. So, um, are you cool with what happened last night?"
Shit, she wants to talk about her feelings. What do I say? Don't say too much. Don't give away your feelings, just act cool, and see what she thinks. "What, about the kiss?" I say. "Yeah, I'm cool. Um, whatever happens, right?" There, that should be suitably vague. Too bad I don't have the guts to just say how I feel.
But how do I feel?
"Right," she said, slowly nodding. "Well, I think it would be pretty weird if we started doing anything here on the road, you know? Like with the five of us jammed into one van and all, it might be a little funny. Do you know what I mean?"
Yes, I know what that means: rejected again. "That's cool," I say. Nice. It almost sounded like I meant it.
"Let's just try and get the show together, okay?"
"Absolutely," I say, but I'm thinking I'll get another chance with this girl. She can't keep kissing me and running away.
She walks away to look at the map with the other guys and I stretch out, looking at the traffic passing us by. It occurs to me that of course she'll keep kissing me and running away, if I let her. Because I've given her all of the power in the relationship. Because I've let her know that I'll do what she wants. This is not how to win a girl's heart. This will need more thought.
We get to the venue around six in the evening and find it locked. Matt gets out his list of contact numbers and once we track down a pay phone he calls the manager. We stand and listen while he asks when someone will come by to let us in.
"What?" he shouts, suddenly worked up. "No we fucking didn't! When? No! No, that wasn't us. No, we're here now. We're around the corner at a pay phone. Well, can't you un-cancel it?"
He looks at us and covers the mouthpiece. "Fucking Wayne called and canceled the show."
I take the receiver from him. "Hello?" I say.
"Who's this?"
"Hi, I'm Terry Wilson, from The Clutch Dogs. We're the other band. Look, Machine Within A Machine had to fire that punk Wayne the other day. It looks like he called you and cancelled the gig just to fuck us over. But we're here, and we're ready to play."
The manager doesn't appear to give a shit. "Be that as it may," he says, "I haven't got staff to open the club. We only open for events, and when your guy called and cancelled I told everyone that I don't need them. So whether you're here or not, I can't open tonight."
"You can call around and get a few people here. Come on man. We've been driving all day. Don't let some petty asshole use you to get revenge on us."
He gets quiet for a moment, and I wonder if I didn't go too far.
"Okay," he says. "I'll call around and see if I can get a few people. Call me in a half hour and I'll let you know."
"Thanks man. I appreciate it."
"Get your act together," he says. "This is the least professional thing I've ever heard of." He hangs up.
We spend the next half hour calling all the clubs and bars on the itinerary, checking which ones Wayne had called with cancellation messages. Of the twelve remaining clubs we manage to get through to seven of them, and of those seven, three got cancellation notices from Wayne. I manage to talk two of these places into letting us get our scheduled gigs back, but one refuses.
"Wayne doesn't fuck around, does he?" I ask, slipping my credit card into the pay phone yet again. I get in touch with the Winnipeg bar manager and he tells me he'll be around in an hour to let us into the back doors.
"I managed to get a skeleton crew together," he says. "You guys better draw a crowd though, because if nobody shows up to watch you, forget about getting paid."
"Okay. You had a place lined up for us to sleep tonight as well, right?"
"I did, but that's out of the question now. Sorry, but you guys will have to sort that out for yourselves."
I hang up the phone. "Okay, gig's back on," I tell the others. "I'm not sure if we'll get paid for it though, unless a whole truckload of people show up to see us. Frankly, I can't see that happening if word has got out there's no show here tonight."
Mark shrugs. "So how to we get the word out the show's back on?"
Jason shakes his head. "In a town where we have no connections and don't know anyone? With a few hours before show time? Good fucking luck."
"We should get a truck with a big speaker on the top like in The Blues Brothers movie," I say, but no one seems to be in a joking mood. "Okay guys, it's not the end of the world. The important thing is that we've got a place to play tonight. Let's focus on that."
We check into a budget motel not far away, taking another bite out of our budget. After a meal at a fast food burger joint we meet the manager at the back of the club. "We'll open at eight," he says, unlocking the back door. "First band is on at ten-thirty, second at midnight. Cool?"
We all nod. "Cool."
We load in and sit in the empty bar for several hours, waiting and hoping a crowd will appear. We buy a few beers and endure bitter looks from the few staff members who turned up.
At ten-thirty Matt, Gina and I get up on stage. Half a dozen people have drifted in. We plug in, switch on and start playing. Gina's a bit closer to the microphone this time, but still sings quietly and without any guts. I bite my lip as I play, knowing this isn't working.
When The Clutch Dogs get up on stage at midnight the crowd has ballooned up to a full dozen. We play our set and I'm happy with how we sound. It almost sounds good enough to record. Too bad there's no one here to listen to it.
At two in the morning we head to our crappy hotel room. The others look discouraged, but I've played this kind of gig before. Bad gigs happen, empty rooms happen. That's touring. I decide it's a good time to pull out the joint that Gina gave me a few nights ago, spark it up and pass it around. It takes a lot more bad jokes, but eventually I manage to cheer the two bands up and get them laughing about the gig instead of pissed off at what appears to be another defeat.

Taskforce - Automated Transports in Hospitals
For the first time the MLR company presents at its booth E41 in hall 16 the new generation of automated guided vehicles (AGV) for automated transports of supplies and equipment in hospitals.
The underride tractors are based on MLR's CAESAR range of AGVs, radically modified and optimized for their task to transport containers in hospitals. These AGVs are built entirely of stainless steel. All cover panels and the lift unit are completely sealed (IP54). This means the vehicles can be disinfected using hot steam jets from all sides – even underneath – in compliance with increasingly rigorous hygiene standards. During cleaning, AGV surfaces must withstand temperatures of up to 85 °C. The AC drive systems are fully encapsulated to keep noise levels down. The drive technology is engineered to allow the AGVs to move forwards and backwards equally fast (maximum speed 1.7 m/s). Safety in both directions is ensured by laser scanners at the front and rear of each vehicle.
As a result of the tremendous transport tasks in hospitals where food, medication, laundry, sterile items, medical equipment, waste and a great many more must reach their destination on time and reliably this technology gains increasingly interest.
The first installation of the new vehicles in the Nye Ahus Hospital near Oslo, Norway will be completed by early 2008.

Everyone sees the diamond sparkle; only a few see the diamond being cut.
buy cheap cialis online>Millions of Chinese parents saw Lang Lang front and center at the Opening Ceremonies. The Pareto Principle dictates at least twenty percent of them decided there and then to go into the diamond business. None of them will want to entertain the possibility that perhaps their one allowable diamond-in-the-rough is just an ordinary, serviceable lump of coal. They'll be sure it's just a matter of applying enough pressure.
Anyone who's taught English in China has seen the flat eyes of children who've given up on themselves for not being what their parents want. Experienced teachers learn to recognize parents in the diamond business, the desperation behind their flattering smiles, and avoid them. Such parents aren't looking for an instructor, but a convert to their cause.
All the English academies and weekend children's art centers in China should have copies of Lang Lang's bio, Journey of a Thousand Miles, available for the parents milling around during their kids' grinding sessions. Hopefully they'll realize that the five requirements for turning out a prodigy are not for them, and certainly not for young lives they claim to love.
Requirement One: Inherited Talent
An obvious requirement, but you wouldn't know it from the presumptions of many a Chinese diamond polisher. Regardless of their own undistinguished early years, pushy parents assume any creature that has sprung from their loins should be able to speak English like George Plimpton and play piano like Lang Lang. Why can't they? "My child is lazy! You must push him!" goes the rallying cry.
You can push a horse to piano but you can't make it play Rachmaninov. Lang Lang's family tree is laden with artists and intellectuals, shaken to earth by the well-known tremors of China's twentieth century. His mother Xiulan was a dancer before she became a telephone operator, and his father mastered the erhu before succumbing to a career as a cop. Nothing comes from nothing, but that doesn't stop people from believing that William Shakespeare was a semi-literate corn merchant, rather than the 17th Earl of Oxford.
Requirement Two: Motivation
Another gimme, also overlooked. Pity the parent searching for the eye of the tiger in a child who arrives to class with new-Audi smell on him, and is guaranteed a tray-full of McDonald's after the lesson. There's no carrot sweet enough to dangle in front of an over-privileged ass. It's not wrong to dote on a child, but it is wrong to expect burning desire in a child who wants for nothing.
Lang Lang wasn't too busy practicing scales to yearn for the good life. He once remarked to an interviewer, as the two passed a block of run-down Beijing apartments, "Where I grew up, the buildings were a lot worse than these. We paid fifteen dollars a month rent. You could smell the s**t, animal or human, before you even entered the building and then, the minute you walked in, wham! Compared to that, this is luxury, this is Fifth Avenue. We had no air conditioning, no heat."
When he and his father came to Beijing for a shot at the big time, their new digs were no improvement on the Shenyang barracks he was used to. Their twelve-meter square cell in the historically run-down Fengtai district had only room for bunk beds, a galley kitchen, and a piano. Mice nibbled at the sheet music. During winter, Lang Lang's father would try to warm the bed while his son did his late-night practice. They slept in all their clothes anyway. Dad would also wake up pre-dawn to lock himself in the community crapper so Lang Lang wouldn't have to wait to wash up before practice. Pretty standard chi koo* for an unconnected Chinese family, but then young Chinese over-achievers are pretty standard, too.
Requirement Three: A Manic Parent
Flowers grow in sunshine, but diamonds take a mountain's worth of constant pressure, if diamonds they are. Coal is ground into dust. And that pressure exerts both ways. Lang Guoren was seized with Joan of Arc-conviction that little Lang Lang was destined for greatness. He staked half a year's wages on a piano for the two-year-old, and set him to work. Even before Lang Lang's first competition at the age of five, Lang senior would berate his son's tutor, "Lang Lang must be the number one pianist in all of China!"
Why? Because he must, that's why. In China, yearning for glory is unseemly, unless it's disguised as your child's. Anything that gives the family face is acceptable, no matter the price. Not that China is the only country plagued with domineering stage-parents. And Lang Guoren walked the walk, putting his life on hold and risking all to manifest his son's triumph. Inspiring stuff, but there's an ugly side.
Requirement Four: Commitment unto Crisis
Although designed to perform one task constantly, machines eventually break down. Single-purposed organisms conk out even sooner – witness the honey bee. Born to experience, humans set to one and only one task will feel and show the strain, no matter how focused.
At least Lang Lang's focus was playing piano; his father's was making sure Lang Lang always played, and played well. The obsession backfired when a pre-teen Lang Lang arrived home two hours late – from an extended choral rehearsal.
"You've missed nearly two hours of practicing, and you can never get them back," Lang Guoren shouted. "It's too late for everything! Everything is ruined!"
Lang tried in vain to explain himself.
"You're a liar and you're lazy! You are horrible. And you have no reason to live. No reason at all."
"What are you talking about?"
"You can't go back to Shenyang in shame! Everyone will know you were not admitted to the conservatory! Everyone will know this teacher has fired you. Dying is the only way out."
Lang's tears didn't dissuade his father.
"Take these pills!" Lang Guroen said, shoving a bottle into his hands. "Swallow all thirty pills right now! Everything will be over and you will be dead!" Out on the apartment's balcony, the father continued to scream about jumping off.
"If you won't jump, then swallow these pills! Swallow every last one," the father said.
Finally, Lang began punching the wall – so hard that his hands started to bleed. Shocked at the sight, Lang Guoren finally backed down. He apologized, kissing the boy's hands, and saying that he didn't want Lang Lang to die. "I just want you to practice."
Usually, one sees such drama only on soap operas. But a parent's love can be as irrationally obsessive as a paramour's.
Requirement Five: A New Paradigm
Even with the talent, determination, overbearing dad, and obsessive devotion, Lang Lang may well have never been world-class. He could easily have burned out before fame found him, or sparkled a few bright seasons and blinked out like Bobby Fischer. Luckily, he was entrusted to a world-class instructor, who was able to reforge Lang Lang's gnawing ambition as humble devotion.
"In the first lesson," Lang Lang recounts, "I said, 'I want to be like Tiger Woods. I want to win all the big competitions.'" Graffman laughed, and asked him if he wanted a long career or short-term fame.
"Of course I said 'long career'. He said, 'Then you need to study and work hard on your piano playing. Don't think about others, and one day, somebody will not be able to play in a concert. Then, if you succeed as a replacement, you will have a career."
It happened just as Graffman predicted, when Lang Lang filled in for Andre Watts, delivering a brilliant Tchaikovsky piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. At only seventeen, Lang Lang garnered world-wide acclaim, but only after putting the music before his glory.
