Catholic Health Initiatives to Pay $4.9M to Settle False Claims Allegations
Catholic Health Initiatives did not admit to wrongdoing under the settlement, which was finalized yesterday. The system recently sold St. Joseph to Baltimore-based University of Maryland Medical System, but is responsible for any liability prior to Dec. 1, 2012.
The hospital allegedly admitted and kept patients in the hospital for "short stays" — a one or two day admission — unnecessarily from 2007 through 2009. The allegedly unnecessary admissions were not tied to any one physician or department, according to the report.
Maryland will receive $152,406 of the settlement while the rest goes to the federal government.

Cheetah Faster than Humans
That may seem like a "Well, duh!" headline, until I add the extra tidbit that the cheetah in question is a robot.
The Cheetah Robot developed by Boston Dynamics recently reached 28.3 mph on a treadmill speed test, beating the world record for human foot speed attained by Usain Bolt at 27.78 mph. The Cheetah is a project backed by US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and is being developed for potential military applications.
The achievement is a significant milestone. Robots have traditionally not been very mobile, unless they are housed in some sort of vehicle. Even then, until recently real mobility required a human operator. Researchers have been making steady progress, however, in developing systems for vehicles that can drive themselves (a project also supported by DARPA).
Walking, on the other hand, has been a skill that has largely eluded robots, whether on 2,3 4 or more legs. We take bipedal mobility for granted, but it is a neurologically very complex feat that requires many of our neural subsystems working well in order to achieve confident and safe bipedalism. Walking is easily compromised by a number of neurological ailments, not just weakness, but also compromise in balance, vision, sensation, vestibular function, joint function, and extrapyramidal function (which regulates the smoothness of movement). Bipedal walking is a delicate moment-to-moment balancing act that we have not, so far, been able to reverse engineer.
We are getting there and people alive today will likely see reasonably mobile bipedal robots, Engineers, however, have focused on the much easier task of robots with four or more legs. The Cheetah, as the name implies, is a quadrupedal headless robot designed after the living cheetah, which is the fastest land animal on Earth, able to achieve speeds of up to 75 mph. The robotic Cheetah is nowhere near that pace at only 28 mph, but it is advancing quickly. (It's previous record was 18 mph set only 6 months ago.)
This robot is designed for speed. Boston Dynamics has also developed another quadrupedal robot called Big Dog – this is more of a pack mule, not intended for speed but for balance, carrying capacity, and stability. You can see in the linked video the robot handling rough terrain, snow, slipping on ice, and even being kicked over, all with a 340 lbs payload. It can even jump over obstacles. This robot is designed to carry equipment and supplies into dangerous combat situations.
The linked BBC article contains this quote:
Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at the University of Sheffield, said the robot was "an incredible technical achievement, but it's unfortunate that it's going to be used to kill people".
These robots are being developed for the military, but that does not mean they will be used to directly kill people. Big Dog is designed to carry stuff, not for combat. I am not sure how accurate the concern is that the Cheetah Robot will be used to kill people. According to DARPA:
DARPA said it is developing Cheetah to contribute to emergency response, humanitarian assistance and other defense missions, because it needs a robot that can handle difficult terrain.
Just because the robot can potentially run faster than a human does not mean it will be used to run people down. Of course, I cannot know what plans are hatching inside the Pentagon, but I doubt they are planning to use the Cheetah as an autonomous robotic killing machine (ala Caprica).
Developing these technologies, however, does raise the issue. Once we do have the technology to build autonomous mobile robots that can essentially operate as soldiers – will we? This can easily be justified. Such robots would provide a massive advantage on the battle field, and it is a lot easier for politicians to send robots, rather than citizens, into dangerous combat.
There is a spectrum here as well, not just Cylon Centurians. We are already using drones and robots as extenders of human soldiers. – putting a machine gun on treads, for example, and then remote controlling it into enemy territory, or remotely flying drones rather than piloting aircraft. It seems likely that tomorrow's high-tech soldiers will be more like video-game operators, remotely killing virtual enemies or destroying virtual targets (that happen to represent real enemies and targets). We are already partly there.
Soldiers in the field are also getting more and more technological assists and upgrade, to keep them more protected and farther and farther from harm. It seems like a no-brainer to send a robot rather than a person across of field of fire to deliver supplies and equipment. It's a small stretch to add some defensive capability to that robot, or make it into a weapons platform.
Of course what everyone wonders is how far will this go. Will we end up with fully autonomous robotic soldiers, perhaps even with some onboard intelligence. Could such robotic soldiers fall into the wrong hands? Could our enemies hack into their systems and take control of an advanced army? Is this how robots take over the world?
Hopefully this is more science fiction than science, but it seems like a good idea to think of these possibilities every step of the way.
The Cheetah Robot itself does not seem to pose such a risk. It seems better suited to rapid response, rather than seek and destroy. It does, however, represent a milestone in the development of a critical robotic technology, legged movement faster than humans. It still needs to be tested in the field, which Boston Dynamics says will happen next year. For now it is tethered and running on a treadmill. Their success with Big Dog, however, makes me confident that we will soon be seeing a Cheetah Robot running on natural terrain – hopefully not chasing anything.

"eating the world record for human foot speed"
Does Dr. Freud have to check to see if his slip is showing?
# John Piereton 07 Sep 2012 at 9:31 am
They reverse the articulation of the cheetah's "elbow" and "knee" joints. Is there any explanation for this?
# John Piereton 07 Sep 2012 at 9:34 am
Opps, only the "elbow" joint articulation is changed.
# Kawarthajonon 07 Sep 2012 at 11:10 am
I was not too impressed with this machine. First of all, it was very stumbly at the higher speeds and eventually had to be lifted right off the treadmill. Not impressive to me.
Second of all, it was running on a completely flat treadmill, not even close to real world conditions. I doubt it would even get close to 28mph on a real road, not to mention complicated terrain like a desert/forest/swampy trail.
Third, it was hooked up to all kinds of supports/wires. I'm not sure it would fare very well without them.
Fourth would be the issue of fuel. I don't think that the "cheetah" would be able to run very far without running out of fuel. We take for granted how efficient our bodies are at using fuel (i.e. food) and turning it into work (i.e. going for a stroll). A great example is a comparison of how far a person can travel on a bike (approx 3000km) on the food/energy equivalent of gasoline that would drive a car only about 30km, although this doesn't take into account the car's much heavier body and more friction from more wheels, but it is still a big difference. It is also important to remember how incredibly efficient it is for machines to travel on wheels, as opposed to animal-like appendages.
I'm sure that this machine is a major advancement in mimicking animal movements, but it is still useless in real world situations and just proves how much we take for granted our ability to get around.
# Bronze Dogon 07 Sep 2012 at 11:46 am
Awesome to see a milestone for legged robots.
And yeah, the concerns are very misdirected. We've already got remote controlled bomber drones and the like. Being fleetfooted isn't necessarily offensive, and even if it is offensive, how's it fundamentally different from the machineguns on treads, aside from being a possible improvement on mobility?
On one level, I'm tempted to naively think fighting wars with robots would save lives by cutting down the number of humans involved, but we'd more likely get A Taste of Armageddon. We're kind of already there, even with human soldiers. If you could mass produce robot soldiers, it lowers the human cost of going to war, and perversely provides more incentive to use military force to achieve political aims. Add in enough jingoism, and people will be less concerned about the human cost to the enemy.
# Karl Withakayon 07 Sep 2012 at 2:47 pm
Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a relatively short matter of time before the robot is has the speed, nimbleness, and stamina to pursue and catch Sarah Conner.
Bronze Dog,
Many advancements in the technology of warfare have carried similar claims. Gatling guns/machine guns, tanks, airplanes, nuclear weapons, etc: all these were at one time thought to mean the end of humans dying in warfare; it hasn't happened yet.
Also, as long as the technology is asymmetrically possessed (only one side has it), we're likely to see a greater willingness for the technological power to get into conflicts and launch strikes that pose little or no risk of life for those controlling the drones/robots.
If both sides use only robots/drones for war, the only way to make war a winning proposition is to take out civilians and civilian buildings.
And I think you are being a bit rosy in your outlook Steven. I can think of marvelous advantages to having a working cheetah, with armor and weapons. Send a fast and highly maneuverable robot into an enemy camp, building etc. Those kinds of situations cause high casualties for soldiers. It would make far more sense to send in the cheetah.
# Karl Withakayon 07 Sep 2012 at 5:29 pm
The next step is to cover the robot warrior cheetahs in synthetically grown animal flesh & hair to blend in with local wild life (where cheetahs are indigenous) & not look like a enemy robot. We can call them Cheeterminators.
# skeplankeron 08 Sep 2012 at 12:21 am
Cell phones were developed to make phone calls. Rogaine was developed for high blood pressure. Hitachi's Magic Wand was, well, you get the point.
Consider the apparent tactical value of a meat-free four-legged suicide bomber that:
– can traverse terrain only accessible by foot (e.g., cave)
– can deliver a precision payload
– can be remotely controlled from the comfort of your own home
– is indifferent to bullets, does not bleed, has no fear, can not vote
– presumably appeals to PETA
I will go out on a limb and say that the list of intended uses would probably be expanded in the future.
# elmer mccurdyon 08 Sep 2012 at 4:43 pm
I'd looked up walking (bipedal) robots on youtube a couple months ago, and the newest looked pretty impressive to me.
# daemonowneron 08 Sep 2012 at 5:23 pm
Two things.
First, think of what the future will hold. Besides the prospect of robots killing humans, probably within a decade this sort of technology with have advanced enough that future humans (maybe even ourselves) will be reflecting on our arrogance at calling this a 'cheetah'. The rate at which this tech has advanced is epic, and I don't see that slowing any time soon. Maybe there will even be serious competition between nations, especially when more nations get in on this and prospects for weaponising it are realised.
Second, kawarthajon. Bear in mind that Usain Bolt didn't exactly make the record on a mountain trail. We improve the conditions as much as possible, and they train and prepare as best as they can, to set the record on a nice flat track.
I think we'll aim for something like Ravage in Revenge Of The Fallen, if we ever get close. Something like Big Dog could be developed into something more humanitarian, because it could be used for transport and the speed is pretty much irrelevant. We don't need a cheetah to transport in a peaceful area, and we don't need the speed advantage (we could just use a car or truck etc).
# elmer mccurdyon 08 Sep 2012 at 5:46 pm
Maybe everybody will have the bomb by that point, and we can all just relax.
I love to see these advances in robotics! I think the Cheetah and the Big Dog are terrific leaps in the field. However, any advantage these give us on the battlefield is likely to be counteracted by a contrasting advantage on the other side. Iran is already copying our drones. I'm sure the Russians and the Chinese are making advances as well.
In the end, it will still boil down to one 18 year old kid with a rifle, holding that hill.
# BillyJoe7on 09 Sep 2012 at 9:04 am
"Bear in mind that Usain Bolt didn't exactly make the record on a mountain trail."
Yes, boring, running on a track. I prefer mountain trails. However, for the past six weeks, I have been cycling instead, courtesy of tendonitis that won't let me run but is unaffected by cycling. Cycling is completely boring. Until you get to the downhill bits! Then it frightens the shit out of you. Kinda like giving anaesthetics I imagine. Boring till something goes wrong. Then you'd probably be feeling like Usain Bolt.
# eiskrystalon 10 Sep 2012 at 4:00 am
I'd hate to see the size and cost of the engineering team and equipment repair center for these new levels of sophistication in robotics… or are they going to build a robot for that too?
Let's hope it can also repair itself then…
# Ufoon 10 Sep 2012 at 6:34 am
Petman by Boston Dynamics walks very well in similar conditions as Cheetah, check the video:
Would be nice to see this guy walking Big Dog on a leash 🙂

Maybe they want to avoid a crowded leg arrangement like this:

Despite the shape, the body is actually solid and quite thin, and the headstock appears much like an early Univox, but the plastic name badge is missing. Yes, the bridge is wrong, and it is missing the cover, yes the knobs are replacements and the thumbrest is missing. Yet, it plays very well, sounds good, and looks insane. I cannot find any reference to a bass this shape in any Univox sources online. Any thoughts/ideas as to what this is? {}

One of the perks of dating a Vietnemese girl is enjoying her native cuisine, more specifically, phở. Phở, pronounced "fa", is the national dish of Vietnam, dating back to the early 1900's in northern Vietnam. The soup is a beef broth with thin rice noodles, which usually contains either sliced beef (Phở bò) or chicken (Phở gà).
It's quite possibly the most delicious soup in the world, and has even been rumored to have been eaten everyday for breakfast by my girlfriend's dad for 20 years straight. I am lucky enough to get phở "to go" from my future mother-in-law every time I'm over for dinner. The key is to look really hungry and pathetic as you're leaving, which I've pretty much mastered.

SAN DIEGO -- In the weeks following the murder of young Stephanie Crowe, the man accused of killing the child was yelling "Tracy" and "I'm gonna kill you" every few hours while he was in jail, a former cellmate testified Wednesday.
The testimony came in the trial of Richard Raymond Tuite, who is accused in the stabbing and slashing death of 12-year-old Stephanie in January 1998.
Prosecutors say Tuite, 34, killed the child as he wandered around her Escondido neighborhood "obsessed" with finding a friend named Tracy, who may have borne some resemblance to the young victim. They also contend that he stalked other young girls who looked like her.
Defense attorneys argue that Stephanie's teenage brother and his two friends committed the murder. The trio was originally charged with the crime, but the charges were dropped after police said specks of the child's blood were found on Tuite's clothing.
Wednesday's witness, David Lee, who spent a few days in jail with Tuite in March 1998, told the jury his first encounter with Tuite came as Lee was waking up from a nap on his second day in custody in North County for a probation violation.
"He was standing over my bunk directly above me," Lee said. "When I opened my eyes, he was standing right there."
Lee said Tuite immediately walked away while still staring back at him.
"He paced constantly," Lee said. "If he was awake, he was pacing. Every few hours in the middle of pacing, he would lunge forward and yell out "Tracy, you whore, I'm gonna kill you."
As Lee spoke, he swung his right arm forward in a stabbing motion, an action he said mimicked that of Tuite's.
Lee said Tuite would yell out the phrase "every few hours, about a half-dozen times a day."
"He was angry," Lee said. "Everybody in the ward would take notice when he did it."
A few days later, the two men were handcuffed together as they were transported to the downtown jail. Lee said Tuite was "sitting next to me, staring at the side of my head constantly."
But once Tuite was in the downtown facility, he was "not as animated or demonstrative," Lee said.
"He was still talking to himself, but not as loud and forceful," Lee said.
Later in the day, jurors heard from Escondido police Officer Roy Huston, who stopped Tuite just after 8 a.m. on Jan. 21, 1998 -- less than two hours after Stephanie's horrified family found her lifeless on her bedroom floor.
Huston said he responded to a call from a woman reporting that a man was trying to get into her home just after 8 a.m. that day. Huston said that when he arrived on the scene, at the Citrus Grove Apartments, he encountered a "scraggly looking" man who identified himself as Tuite.
On cross-examination, Huston -- who said he knew about Stephanie's murder by the time he encountered Tuite that morning -- testified that he had been cooperative, and that nothing in Tuite's conduct raised his suspicions. Tuite was not nervous or jumpy, he said.
Huston said he did not see blood on Tuite's clothing. He also said he searched Tuite, and the "only thing that stood out was that he had toilet paper" in his pocket.
Defense attorneys have said that Stephanie's blood could have gotten onto Tuite's clothing through police contamination.
In court Wednesday, Tuite seemed more engaged than he has been on previous days in the trial. He even smiled a few times.
At the end of witness testimony, which was over by 2:30 p.m., Judge Frederic Link sent the public from the courtroom and met with attorneys behind closed doors. It was not clear what the topic of the discussion was.

Pitchers getting ready to step into batter's box
Pitchers getting ready to step into batter's box
The Blue Jays will be travelling to National League parks for the first time this season. The club plays nine consecutive games on the road, which means pitchers will get to showcase their skills with the bat.
Manager John Farrell is one person who is going to keep his expectations in check. He's not going to implement a no-swing policy, but the main priority will be getting down the sacrifice bunt whenever possible.
"That's clearly No. 1," Farrell said. "Anything above that is pure benefit. [Another goal] would be to not come away with any added soreness, because you're swinging the bat so infrequently.
"We've been taking batting practice here for the past three weeks on and off, but the No. 1 goal is to get a sac bunt down when the situation calls."

LOS Angeles police arrested NFL star Aldon Smith today after he told airport security he was in possession of a bomb.
Smith, a defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers, was going through Terminal 1 screening at Los Angeles International airport and was randomly selected for secondary screening.
The NFL star then became belligerent and uncooperative with the process and with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent, making a comment indicating he was in possession of a bomb, LA police public information officer Karla Ortiz told ESPN.
Smith proceeded toward the gate area where airport police made contact with him.
He reportedly became uncooperative again and was detained and taken into custody for falsely reporting a bomb threat.
"We are disappointed to learn of the incident today involving Aldon Smith. As this is a pending legal matter and we are still gathering the pertinent facts, we will have no further comment," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement.
The incident comes just a day after a Twitter user named "Sarah", who claims to be a 14-year-old girl, tweeted this not-so-subtle message to American Airlines:
The airline's tweet has since been taken down, but not before Sarah got a chance to respond with a series of impassioned pleas:
@AmericanAir omfg I was kidding
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
@AmericanAir I'm so sorry I'm scared now
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
@AmericanAir I was joking and it was my friend not me, take her IP address not mine
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
The teenager later tweeted how she was just 14 years old and "stupid" but had no intention of blowing up a plane.
Sarah's original tweet quickly went viral, garnering more than 10,000 retweets before finally being deleted. In a series of follow-up messages, Sarah — whose Twitter account is full of news about pop sensation Demi Lovato — expressed her awe at her sudden online fame.
Omg I got over 10k rts for that tweet omg
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
I feel famous omg
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
Okay today was the highlight of my twitter days
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
Over 20k followers yay
— demetria (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
In a statement to The Huffington Post, American Airlines wrote: "The safety of our passengers and crew is our number one priority. We take security matters very seriously and work with authorities on a case-by-case basis.
"Regarding [Sarah's] tweet," the statement continued, "we removed it after it had been addressed in order to be able to focus on our customers."
On Sunday afternoon, Sarah, who claims to "live 15 hours from the US", seemed to express regret over her decision to post that troublemaking tweet.
Well, sort of.
Sarah said she didn't know why she did that but then later joked about changing her name to Ibrahim.

The company had posted a net profit of Rs 95.76 crore for the same period of previous fiscal, Tata Global Beverages (TGBL) said in a BSE filing.
The company's net sales during the quarter under review rose marginally by 3.02 per cent to Rs 1,865.69 crore during the fourth quarter, as compared to Rs 1,810.89 crore during the same period of previous fiscal.
"Decline in net profit largely due to higher expenditure on brands, new initiatives and exceptional items. Exceptional costs are due to one time restructuring costs," Tata Global Beverages Global Chief Financial Officer L Krishnakumar told PTI.
Exceptional cost in the quarter were at Rs 11.72 crore.
Overall expenses of the company during the quarter stood at Rs 1,755.92 crore, up 5.99 per cent as against Rs 1,656.65 crore in the same quarter last year.
For the entire 2013-14 fiscal, the company reported a net profit of Rs 480.51 crore against Rs 372.75 crore in the previous financial year.
TGBL reported net sales of Rs 7,621.98 crore during 2013-14 compared with Rs 7,270.33 crore in the previous financial year.
The Board of Directors of the company recommended a dividend of Rs 2.25 per equity share of Re 1.
Shares of TGBL closed at Rs 156.25 apiece on the BSE, down 0.03 per cent from previous close.

HardOCP Water Cools the Xbox 360
Subject: General Tech | January 4, 2006 - 11:52 PM | Ryan Shrout
Those nuts at HardOCP have ripped apart an Xbox 360 and water cooled it -- and they say its easy to do!!!
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with our Xbox 360 H20 project. We met most of the goals we set forth four years ago with our original mod, and we are — once again — the first people to water cool an Xbox.
In the end, we set out to water cool an Xbox 360 simply 'because we could' but it turned out to be a fantastic venture, and overall a huge benefit to the Xbox 360 cooling. I am sure we will see commercial water cooling kits pop up for the Xbox 360 sooner or later, but this build-out shown here should get you well on your way should you wish to do it yourself.

I have a number of friends and family that I would encourage to switch to TS if I could set up a VPN between us and have any traffic NOT be charged to BOTH parties (upload+download).
From a marketing perspective, this would have similar advantages to Vodafone's "Best Mate's" phone feature, encouraging associates onto the same network.
And from a business productivity point of view, I believe it would ACTUALLY increase productivity and innovation (unlike the silly claims that UFB/TV-pipe will! :p)
Besides considering a Broadband unlimited plan, I seem to recall one ISP that offered a "Pay an additional $20 for unlimited national traffic".

There were 9 of us, on a Saturday night. The place looked really nice, had a long table at the far end of the bar. The service was very good. Unfortunately the food didn't live up to expectations. The the choice was very limited and the portions were very small. I had the STICKY GINGER MAHI MAHI SUPREME, which was raw in the middle, my husband had a lamb dish which he said was tough. Another, had the duck, which was described as chewy! The fish and chips, was the 'worst I have ever had' All in… Read Full Review

We were hugely disappointed with the quality of food given the high prices charged. The steak was not cooked to specification and was of poor quality. The portions were small.
The actual venue was very nice and service excellent but this did not make up for the food. We would not eat here again… Read Full Review

I think its a shame people don't give places a second chance. I used to run restaurants in London for 20 years and i still can't figure out some people. Every one and every business has bad days, that's life! Oh well Grandison, keep your chin up some times you are better off without certain customers.

Los Angeles: Paula Abdul danced back onto US television for the first time since her controversial 2009 exit from American Idol, attracting the biggest audience of the night for her Live to Dance competition show.
Broadcaster CBS said on Wednesday that 10.2 million viewers tuned in to the premiere of Live to Dance -- an American Idol style contest for dancers in which Abdul is the chief judge.
Live to Dance, which featured acts ranging from a nine year-old hip-hop dancer to an 83 year-old tapper, was the most-watched show on US TV on Tuesday.
It marked the comeback of the unpredictable but endearing Abdul, 48, a former dancer and pop star who abruptly ended her eight-year run as an American Idol judge after a contract dispute with producers in August 2009.
Abdul was replaced on Idol by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres but was missed by fans, and audiences for the singing contest slid last year.
Daily Beast commentator Richard Rushfield said that in her new role, "Paula has decided to double-down on being Paula -- hyper-dramatic, gushy, tongue-tied Paula, staging a house to house battle with emotions at every turn."
But other reviewers expressed disappointment with her first outing on Live to Dance. Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker said that Abdul was unusually sane, adding that she "seems to have intentionally lost her gift for absurdist gush."
Live to Dance is the latest entry in TV dance competition shows, including Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. The ultimate winner on Live to Dance gets a prize of $500,000.

sample the album:
"Sten Sandell and Mattias Stahl may bring to mind the historic piano and vibraphone duo of Sun Ra and Walt Dickerson (although Stahl adds marimba and glockenspiel). But what the two duos have in common is little more than the adoption of jazz idioms and improvising processes. The vocabulary the two Swedish musicians use is distinct. In the older pairing Dickerson's refined Blue Note sonority, which Andrew Hill has praised, was combined with the "cosmic jazz" of the Arkestra's leader. In the newer duo, the cubist post-bop Stahl meshes with the wide lexical parameters of the pianist, who has often worked in Mats Gustafsson's Gush. Sandell's vocabulary including elements taken from such origins as contemporary classical and new music (notably John Cage, Henry Cowell, Mark Feldman, and Iannis Xenakis), progressive rock (in the This Heat and Tuxedomoon line), and the ethnic traditions of Northern Europe, India, Japan, and Tibet, in the later case appropriating Buddhist vocal techniques. In some senses this is a curious pairing. Sandell's approach to piano can be cerebral in its extreme complexity, even in the moments of more improvisational spontaneity (somewhere between Paul Bley's lyricism and Cecil Taylor's "free-flowing"). Stahl, conversely, is a physical vibraphonist, with abstract tendencies but with a special affection for color. The music they create together is filled with contrasts and surprising convergences, as if by magic, in pieces that seem as natural as the water of a river flickering with the light of the sun. In English "Grann Musik" translates as "Neighbor Music," a reflection of the intimacy two good neighbors, even those with wildly different personalities, can form."-Clean Feed Records

(Adds Pereira comments and market reaction)
By Alonso Soto
BRASILIA, July 24 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank must remain vigilant if it is to cut inflation in half to meet its official target next year, bank director Luiz Pereira said on Friday, signaling more rate hikes as markets fear the government is loosening its policy of fiscal austerity.
Pereira's comments came two days after President Dilma Rousseff shocked markets with a dramatic reduction of the government's fiscal savings targets for 2015, 2016 and 2017, following a continued drop in tax revenues.
Many market observers interpreted the target cuts as a signal that government will not cut expenditures as aggressively as planned, effectively an admission that the government would not be able to help the central bank in easing inflationary pressures ahead. The government helps to reduce price pressures by reducing public expenditures.
Vigilance is "paramount," Pereira said in a speech posted on the bank's website.
"Progress so far in fighting inflation needs to be balanced against more recent risks that threaten our central objective," he said. "Therefore, we should remain cautious at this particular juncture."
Pereira did not say what those recent risks were, but said monetary policy should remain "adequately calibrated" to reach its goal of 4.5 percent inflation, the midpoint of its target range of 2.5 percent to 6.5 percent by late 2016. Inflation in the country rose to 8.89 percent in June.
Short-term interest rates futures <0#2DIJ:> shot up after Pereira's comments, as traders pared bets that the central bank would slow the pace of interest rates hikes next week.
Most market traders expect the central bank to raise its benchmark Selic rate by 50 basis points for the sixth straight time since December on Wednesday to bring down inflation. (Additional reporting by Bruno Federowski; Editing by Bill Rigby)

Streak ace bows out
BRITAIN'S most famous streaker is hanging up his birthday suit.
"There's no venue or event I haven't done. But I'm nearly 49 now and my children begged me to stop."
Mark Roberts has announced his retirement after 500 streaks including every major sporting event over the last two decades.
The dad-of-three, 48, from Liverpool, has dashed in the nude at Wimbledon, the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals, the Summer and Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl in the US.
He even jumped starkers onto Fred Talbot's floating weather map on ITV's This Morning in 1995.
Jobless Mark said: "There's no venue or event I haven't done. But I'm nearly 49 now and my children begged me to stop. It's time.
"I'm not ready for my slippers yet but gravity's against me."
This month marks the 20th anniversary of his first streak at the Rugby Sevens in Hong Kong.
But now he has decided to call it a day thanks to feedback from his children Rebecca, 24, Mark, 19, and Georgia, 15.
Mark admitted: "They said it's time you finish. When I suggested The X Factor they said: 'Dad, please don't do that, my friends watch it.'"

Refreshingly real ladies.
Vancouver based photographer Mandy-Lyn may only be 24 years-old, but you won't find any immaturity in her stunning body of work. In fact, she's old school in the most badass way, using a '70s 35mm Canon camera given to her by her grandfather. Mandy-Lyn draws her inspiration from being a young woman and wants to throw back to the visual pornography of decades ago.
She features all nature girls, completely untouched in various conceptualized themes including sandy beach play-dates and bedroom strip downs. "In 1974, Hugh Hefner said, 'Women have traditionally been either put on pedestals or damned as the source of all sexual temptation and sin. These are two sides of the same coin, since both place women in a nonhuman role. Playboy has opposed these warped sexual values and, in so doing, helped women step down from their pedestals and enjoy their natural sexuality as much as men.' I couldn't express my intention more keenly than that; I'm just looking for a place where a woman's natural self is accepted as a woman's loveliest self," she tells Nerve.
Here's a look at some of the beautiful nude portraits by Mandy-Lyn.

A Minnesota family trapped in their car during Thursday's rainstorm has a mystery man to thank for their rescue.
Mark Huglen and his 16-year-old son Adam were driving through the city after attending an area hockey goalie camp when Thursday's one-in-100-year rain began to fall.
When the 52-year-old communications professor and his son arrived at the Higgins Underpass at Higgins Avenue and Main Street they could see the water was rising.
"It was heavy, torrential rain and our cars were bumper to bumper. As we approached the underpass, some cars were making it through, I didn't know the depth of the water so we decided to go through," he said.
Unfortunately, their four-door sedan wasn't so lucky.
Their car now stuck and the rain still coming down hard, they decided to wait it out.
However, mother nature had a different plan.


text: So I've got a nice 13.5lb packer brisket here, but I'm concerned about the difference in thickness from the point end to the flat end. The flat end is about 1 inch thick at the very end (which is not that thick), but the point end is probably 5 inches thick. My concern -- the point end taking so long that the flat end dries out and burns. I plan to inject it with a brisket injection (broth, spices, etc), but I'm wondering if I should just separate the point BEFORE cooking, and have them cooking side by side. I've got enough space, as I'm working with a Yoder 640 pellet pit, but I just don't want to F this up. I've done plenty of flats, but never a whole packer. Suggestions?

I just bought the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever owned and I want to take really good care of them. What should I be doing to store them safely?
Give them a light dusting off every time you take them off for the day. You can keep a rag by the door for that purpose, or a lot of nicer shoes come in cloth bags — I use the outside of the bag to dust mine off before storing them inside it.
You should also use a wooden shoe-tree when you take your shoes off. They're pretty cheap, keep the shoe in the shape of your foot, and help absorb some of the moisture from the leather.
Be sure you're rotating your footwear and not wearing the same pair every day — it takes anywhere from one to three days or even more for a shoe to dry out fully, depending on the climate. It may not feel like much, but a day's worth of sweat is a lot, and you want to give that time to evaporate out of the leather rather than keeping it permanently damp.
