"Thank you John and Dan for your guidance with your help I am on a two week eight straight win streak. Bringing an annualized return of over 185% don't expect to bat 1000 forever but not a bad looking snapshot of what these strategies can do. When combined with wise loss management."
-Danny, TX
"Also, thanks for everything you offer from MTM. Having gone to a few of the group sessions now, I am really starting to see the value of John's sessions in conjunction with what I am learning from you every week. You are giving me the framework, and John puts the meat on the bones. 1-on-1 coaching is the best decision I could have made at this junction in my trading education."
-Regina, WY
"I am so much more balanced in my trades now. I know it is early, but already compared to last year, there is no comparison. My trading/management plan has made a HUGE difference.
Thanks again my friend!!"
Al, Topeka, KS
"I do wish to express my gratitude to you and Dan. I am feeling much more confident trading. Placed my first double calendar today.
The value of the coaching, mentoring, and videos has become increasingly apparent to me as time goes by. I took a few months "off" because of other commitments. Now, going through the video archives a second time, and reviewing your daily series when I get home at night, it's all finally starting to "click". I also needed to learn to keep it simple. It's really not as terribly difficult as it initially appears."
Jeff, Greeley, CO
"...I owe much of the success that I've had in options to your teaching and mentoring. Aside from your clear teaching style, your emphasis on risk and money management is what separates you from the rest."
Jeff, Highland Park, IL
"I have increased my account by around 12% this month with 60% wins. I'm getting better at controlling my emotions and waiting for great setups instead of rushing into things... I am thankful for all that I have learned from you guys because I understand options so much more!"
Brad, Rexburg, ID
"Between your weekly sessions, our one-on-one sessions, and John's daily sessions, I am confident that I will finally be able to hold on to the profits that I generate, and keep the losses on trades that don't work small."
Doug, Colorago Springs, CO
"When I signed up for Dan's mentoring program I had very high expectations. After completing the program I am extremely pleased to honestly say that Dan not only met them, but far exceeded my expectations. I was fairly advanced in my knowledge of options as a retail trader. Dan took the time to assess my knowledge and goals and tailored an individualized and advanced program to put me at the professional level. This is not a cookie-cutter program. As if this was not enough, Dan truly takes it even a step further in that he genuinely cares about my future trading success. I feel as though, even though my program has ended, I have a mentor for life..."
Sonny, La Canada, CA
"After finishing your mentoring program, I wanted to trade for a few weeks with real money on my own before giving you an update. It makes me think of that commercial. Your Options Coaching Program, $3,999; the fundamental understanding and knowledge that I received from your Options Coaching Program, PRICELESS. I can not thank you enough for giving me these great gifts of knowledge and confidence. You truly have tremendous knowledge of options and unique & simple way of giving that knowledge to your students. Keep on teaching my friend! By the way, I have made every penny of my monetary cost in these last few weeks and the gratification is just gravy."
Hemel, Albuquerque, NM
"The One-on-One options coaching class was a tremendous help in sifting through the myriad of information to discover the important concepts and ideas in options trading. Dan's experience and knowledge is a distinctive resource to anyone interested in learning about options and how to profit in any type of market. As I continue to learn One-on-One Mentoring was the foundation I needed to commence my trading career in the right direction. For anyone looking to become a more knowledgeable trader this is an extremely valuable class and money well spent!"
Steve, Boise, ID
"Dan I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to work together. In a few short months you helped me bridge the gap from an intermediate level options trader to feeling comfortable with the more advanced concepts. I believe I learned more in the last two months with you than I did over the last two years on my own. Whether its consulting volatility charts before trades or monitoring my portfolio as a whole using the Greeks, your help has made me a better trader. I was originally unsure if mentoring would be of benefit to me, now I truly wish I had done this five years ago."
Jason, Seal Beach, CA
"Dan, it's been a few weeks since I completed my mentoring program with you, and the learning hasn't stopped. You provided me with a deep (dare I say profound) understanding of critical concepts, such as analyzing volatility, finding a volatility edge, and gamma scalping. Although I head read about each of these prior to your program, you were the one who really helped me "get it", and now my option trading makes a whole lot more sense (and more profit, too!)."
Robert, Greenwich, CT

Putin foe freed from prison 1 day into 5-year sentence
KIROV, Russia — A court's abrupt decision Friday to release Russia's most charismatic opposition leader less than a day after handing him a five-year prison sentence appears to reflect confusion in President Vladimir Putin's inner circle about how to deal with its No. 1 foe.
Even more, it makes clear that the Kremlin is far from a monolith. The surprising about-face involving Alexei Navalny highlights an open rift between factions in Putin's government that could be as unsettling for the leadership as any opposition figure, experts say.
In an unusual move, prosecutors themselves had requested that Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger and Moscow mayoral candidate, be let go pending appeal just a few hours after he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs following an embezzlement conviction that was widely seen as unfair.
Thousands of Navalny's supporters on Thursday gathered around Moscow's Manezhnaya Square outside the Kremlin for an unsanctioned protest of what they called a politically motivated ruling, chanting "Freedom!" and "Putin is a thief!" in open defiance of the authorities.
Navalny credited the protesters with his release, telling reporters on Friday that his conviction and sentence "had been vetted by the presidential administration ... but when people came out on Manezhnaya, they rushed to go back on that decision."
Analysts saw Navalny's sudden release as likely reflecting arguments within the Kremlin about how to respond to his popularity. He has earned rock-star status among his urban middle-class supporters, even if he has little influence among everyday Russians.
They considered the move an attempt to lend legitimacy to the Sept. 8 mayoral vote widely expected to be won by a Kremlin-backed incumbent who resigned last month, forcing a snap election that would make challengers scramble to organize their campaigns.
While the leadership of Russia's law-enforcement agencies, referred to as "siloviki," favor nipping the opposition in the bud, other Putin lieutenants promote a more subtle approach to dissent, said Alexei Makarkin, an analyst with the Moscow-based Center for Political Technologies, an independent think-tank.

text: I'm not as eager to recommend investing long-term in stocks that trade less than $10 a share because these names can be very speculative, and the odds for picking the long-term winners aren't great. But I definitely love to trade stocks that are priced below $10. I like to view them as a trading vehicle with lots of volatility and lots of upside when the trade is timed right. When I trade under-$10 names, I do it almost entirely based off of the charts and technical analysis. I also like to find under-$10 names with a catalyst, but that's secondary to the chart and volume patterns. >>Outwit the S&P in 2013 With 5 Hated Stocks With that in mind, here's a look at several under-$10 stocks that look poised to potentially trade higher from current levels. Acadia Pharmaceuticals One under-$10 stock that's trending very close to triggering a near-term breakout trade is Acadia Pharmaceuticals ( ACAD), which is focused on the development and commercialization of small molecule drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. This stock has been on fire during the last three months, with shares soaring over 70%. If you take a look at the chart for Acadia Pharmaceuticals, you'll see that this stock gapped up sharply back in December from just under $2.50 a share to a high of $6.53 a share with monster upside volume. Following that move, shares of ACAD have sold off to its recent low of $4.17 a share. The stock has now started to trend sideways with shares moving between $4.62 on the downside and $5.18 on the upside. A high-volume move above the upper-end of that recent range will trigger a breakout for shares of ACAD. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ACAD if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.00 to $5.18 a share and then once it clears more resistance at $5.50 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 3,339,370 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then ACAD will set up to re-test or possibly take out its recent high of $6.53 a share.

In honor of Bob Moog's 78th birthday, Google created a special "Google Doodle" that lets people play and record music on a special synthesizer on its home page. Like the Les Paul Google Guitar Doodle last year, people are recording their creations and uploading the results on YouTube.
But with a synthesizer instead of a guitar, we're getting more geeky creations, like a bunch of people replicating the theme from Doctor Who. Here are some of my favorites:
First up, we have a version that uses the real theme in the background:
In this version, we drop the background music theme and just go for the main melody:
In this one, we get the theme from TETRIS (although, to be honest, I can't remember what the theme sounds like, so it could just be random key presses)
Here's one that attempts to do the theme from "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies:
Here's a version of "Hey Jude" by the Beatles, although I'm pretty sure that Paul McCartney wouldn't have wanted to sing along to a Moog version:
Finally, we get a "classical" song, Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" done with the doodle:
Let me know if you find any other ones that you've seen and we'll update the post.
And if you want to learn how to create your own composition with the Doodle, watch this "how to" video:

Sanjay Dutt, who has had a busy schedule shooting for films like Agneepath, Zilla Ghaziabad, Son of Sardar and Sher, hasn't had much time for himself or his family, so finally Sanjay decided to take some time off for a vacation. The latest is that Sanju took his wife Maanyata and kids Shahraan and Iqra for a much needed break to Paris.
A source was quoted saying, "He has taken a break for some time and so when he got a few days off from the shoot of Sher, he decided to utilize them by taking off to Paris".
As soon as he is back, he'll get busy with the promos of his films Son Of Sardar and Zilla Ghaziabad as they will hit the screens later this year.

| The UFC put on a spectacular event tonight in Indianapolis, Indiana as UFC Fight Night 27 took place at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The main event saw Martin Kampmann go to battle in a rematch with former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit.
We also saw Donald Cerrone go to war with Rafael dos Anjos in a lightweight battle and a handful of TUF alumni go to work as well. The card was stacked from top to bottom and there were many exciting fights packed with explosive finishes and unexpected upsets.
Kelvin Gastelum made his first UFC appearance following his championship TUF run as he defeated Bryan Melancon in the first round. The fight was also Gastelum's first career fight at welterweight and, if you missed it, he looked great. Check out all the highlights here.
Following the night's great lineup of fights the UFC awarded the top performers "Fight of the Night" bonuses. Each winner was awarded an extra $50,000 on top of their fight purse for their great performances. Here are the UFC Fight Night 27 Bonus Winners:
- Brandon Thatch Wins Knock Out of the Night for his amazing UFC debut victory. He absolutely ran through Justin Edwards in the first round of their fight and he is well deserving of the award. He rocked Edwards early and never let him off the hook after that. Edwards never had a chance against Thatch in this bout and we will definitely be keeping a close eye on this kid! His future looks bright!
- Zak Cummings Wins Submission of the Night for his outstanding D'Arce choke submission in the final seconds of the first round. Cummings used a neck crank to break down Benny Alloway and then he smoothly transitioned the neck-crank to a D'Arce choke and cut off the airway of his opponent to earn himself a beautiful submission win. Cummings is also well deserving of the bonus tonight.
- Martin Kampann & Carlos Condit Win Fight of the Night for their amazing main event performances. Kampann pressed the pace of the fight from the beginning and continued to come after Condit but it was Condit who displayed the better striking, which is what won him the fight in the 4th round. However, both men put on a fatastic fight for the fans and this fight was a war from the start to the finish and it is extremely well deserving of winning Fight of the Night.

non-threatening three-leaved plant is trillium. Trillium is a genus of spring ephemeral plants, which means that they complete their entire life cycle prior to the summer solstice. Trillium plants sprout a single stem, at the top of which are three large leaves. Above that is a single flower, which may or may not be on its own stem. Some species have mottled leaves, and the flowers can appear in various colors.

THE Evesham Sea Cadets need local support to help improve the disabled access at its headquarters in South Littleton.
The group are hoping people will vote for them to be chosen as the recipient of a £25,000 Community Award from Engage, a mutual assurance company.
Jodie Cotton, lead cadet, said: "Evesham Sea Cadets has given me amazing opportunities. It would be great if we could allow others the same opportunities."
Should they be successful the cadets will spend £20,000 on materials and the rest on labour and they hope to get a access ramps, new bathrooms and provide disabled shower and toilet facilities.
"This work is long overdue," said Commanding Officer Keith Field. "But to get the money we badly need people to vote for our project."
To vote to support the cadets visit engagemutual.com/foundation/projects/improving-the-disabled-access before May 31.

ssh-forcecommand is a script to safely execute remote commands via ssh. It is especially aimed at automated remote commands (in which ssh keys are not secured via password), where a compromise of the remote system could also compromise the local system. To prevent this, ssh-forcecommand can be invoked through the ssh configuration, which will limit the remote system so that it can only execute a set of statically defined commands. This way, compromising the local system is made much more difficult.

Texas triangle becoming a leading economic hub in America
Published 12:08 am, Monday, August 25, 2014
SAN ANTONIO - Companies around the world are taking notice of the fast-growing Texas Triangle.
The 60,000 square mile region, which includes Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, has seen significant population increase, particularly in the I-35 corridor, during the past decade. More than 17 million Texans, or about 75 percent of the state's population, live in the region.
Each of the four large cities in the Texas Triangle were ranked in the 20 fastest growing cities list by Forbes this year.
And it's not just people moving to the area.
Companies, and professional service jobs that rely on companies such as lawyers, are being attracted to the area, according to the Global Legal Post.
News Channel
"The Texas Triangle is also home to 15,200 manufacturing firms with total employment over 604,000," the publication wrote in a Friday post. "In the past six months alone, California-based company relocation inquiries have doubled in Central Texas."
The publication credited the state's business-friendly climate for the mega-regions' success.
"Texas boasts a pro-growth tax policy offering zero state income tax, a low tax burden for businesses, and sensible regulations," the publication wrote. "This is drawing increasing numbers of American firms seeking to relocate."
Texas is home to several of America's best law firms and the significant growth has provided opportunities for the legal profession, Global Legal Post wrote.
"Employment in Texas' legal services market is predicted to increase 15 percent, or by 11,710 jobs, between 2010 and 2020, according to labor market predictions by Tracer," the article reads.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Bity Bitcoin iOS App Allows Transactions For Digital Currency Users
The creators of Bity claim that it is currently the only app on the app store that allows Bitcoin transactions so we take a look and see what it contains.
Bity is a new application for Apple devices that offers the user a feature to carry out Bitcoin transactions on Apple devices but only when users agree not to hold Apple responsible for anything that may happen in the transaction.
Apple has been blocking apps with Bitcoin transaction functionality however Bity developer Christian J Moss has come up with a unique solution.
The app requires you to electronically sign a deceleration that you will not hold apple responsible and understand that the transaction is wholly your responsibility and the fact that the app has no wallet functionality.
Users of the app must enter a block-chain walled ID and password or, if they have it, the privave key of a wallet which is saved in Bity and used to make future transactions.
The app does not just let users send funds but also has a QR code wallet feature that lets users accept Bitcoin's through the App and automatically updates the balance upon the funds arrival.
Bity runs on both iPad and iPhone with any size screen but has been optimized for iOS 7 retina display screens however if you are working on iPad you cannot currently send or receive Bitcoin.
The app is free during its promotion period and the developer has been collecting Bitcoin donations to make the work on the Bity possible, there is no word on how much the app will cost once the promotion is over.
The app has so far remained on the app store but with Apple, nothing is certain and we may still see the elusive ban hammer come down upon it

So last week, I got a check in the mail from my grandparents for my birthday. Amongst some other things, I decided to start playing around with magnet swaps. I purchased and Alnico 8 magnet from Wymore Guitars (great service and fast shipping, thanks dude!) It arrived late last week and I just now got a chance to swap the magnet out. I initially intended to leave the picukp in the mounting ring so the height would remain unchanged, but that blocked access to the magnet, so I had to remove it from the ring. When putting the pickup back in the guitar, I managed to set the height exactly at the recommended 1/8" - 3/32" recommended in the FAQ. How's that for blind luck?
Initial impressions:
Wow. Loud. The A8 magnet makes the pickup louder than before. I suppose that is to be expected, since the stronger A8 magnet is supposed to make for hotter output. The JB8 has plenty of lows, and while big, they're not muddy or woofy like the JB was in comparison. They are big, but tight. The big low end doesn't seem to impede clarity, IMO.
As far as the mids go, there's a definate difference. The JB had all the crunch in the upper mids, the JB8 has it's mids spread across the whole range, so there's plenty of low mids and mid mids in addition to the high mids, so the spike is gone, and the JB8 sounds thicker by comparison. I kinda like it, but admittedly I'm still in the honeymoon stage at this point. I may change my mind. Also that upper-mid spike makes it easier for the JB to cut throug a band mix. The JB8's lack of that upper-mid spike may work against me when trying to fit into a mix. I dunno. I'll see how I sound with the rest of the band next practice.
As far as highs go, I definately noticed the rounded off, A2-like highs of the A8. I'm on the fence here. On one hand, that kinda makes the JB8 sound darker than the JB. But when it comes to sustained notes in solos, the rounded off highs definately makes for a sweeter sound. However, when playing palm-muted riffs, it feels like the rounded off highs cause me to loose some of the attack which keeps things tight-sounding. I also don't know how the rounded off highs will affect how I sit in the mix with the band. Again, we'll have hear how things go next practice. I can always (and probably should) tweak the EQ on my amp.
One thing I noticed while playing which was unexpected was when I switched to bridge humbucker split and parallel with the middle single, (guitar is HSH config), I got a completely different sound. The volume drops dramatically, and there are no lows at all. It was kind of like listening to the guitar through the telephone, or like the intro to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". I messed things up during the magnet swap and the JB8 is now out-of-phase didn't I? I was careful to orient the magnet so the poles were the same, but when I pulled the A5 bar out of the pickup, it grabbed the A8 bar, and I might have flipped it around when separating the two before installing the A8 bar. It's not all bad. I kinda like the thin, quiet sound, it's different. But when I think about things, I think I'd do better to get that sound from a pedal, and have a single coil sound available in that postion, not a OOP sound. I really don't want to have to take the pickup back out to flip the magnet around, as I've got the pickup height perfect. I fix the OOP sound by flipping the hot (black) and ground (green) wires, right? Though that will also change which coil I split to, correct?

NEW CONCORD Like any backyard brawl, there is a lot of importance on Saturdays game when the Muskingum College Fighting Muskies travel to Marietta for the 81st meeting with the Pioneers in the Ohio Athletic Conference and season finale for both.
The importance is two-fold, Muskingum veteran coach Jeff Heacock said. First it has become a rivalry because of the regional proximity of the two schools. We recruit a lot of the same players and it has become a good rivalry.
Second, it is a chance for us to have a winning season and get that sixth win, he added. That would be big for our program. Any team wants to finish with a win for the off-season and recruiting, but this could be a tribute to our 15 seniors who have brought our program back this year.
Although the Pioneers have struggled through a 1-8, 0-8 OAC season thus far, winning the opener then dropping eight in a row, Heacock cautions this record is somewhat deceiving.
The record is deceptive, because they have had several close losses (four by eight points or less) and a rough last two weeks playing teams that are probably headed to the playoffs, he cautioned. They have a new coach and some young players. The players have been learning the system, and I have seen them improve each week. We are not underestimating their capabilities.
The Pioneers have given the Muskies problems the last two seasons claiming victories by six points or less each year.
They have been tough for us the past two years, Heacock admitted. When it comes to this game, the records dont mean much.
Marietta averages 310.6 yards of offense per game, while giving up 451.1 to opponents. The Pioneers gain an average of 109.6 ypg on the ground and 201 yards via the pass.
Junior signal-caller Justin Papania has completed 144-of-248 passes for 1,500 yards this season and had a career day against the Muskies last year when he threw for a school single-game records of 34 completions and 410 yards while throwing for a pair of touchdowns and running for two more in a 31-25 win.
He had a career day against us last year, Heacock said, and that sends out an extra alert for us this year. They run a lot of different formations and do a good job with their schemes. They will not only throw it, but will run the ball as well.
Junior running back Steven Wagner has done a bulk of the running picking up 592 yards on 146 carries, while freshman Anthony Banks has added 264 yards on 66 tries. Junior wide receiver Mike Valiante is the top receiver with 47 catches for 366 yards and one touchdown.
Muskingum (5-4, 4-4 OAC) has also gone through a tough three-week stretch playing Baldwin-Wallace, John Carroll and Capital on consecutive weeks. The Muskies, already better than the pre-season pick, want to finish the year on a strong note.
The weather will be different this week than in the first nine, but that cant become a factor.
Both teams have to play in it, Heacock pointed out. It will be a matter of whichever is more focused. We have to be prepared and ready to go and we have to take better care of the ball and not turn it over.
We will stay pretty much the same, he added, but want to do things better. We have taken a step in the right direction and will finish higher than we were picked, but we have one more game before we lay out everything.
Junior tailback Trevor Cooper (Rayland-Indian Creek) continues to lead the Muskingum ground attack with 872 yards on 214 carries and is gunning for his second consecutive 1,000-plus rushing year. Senior fullback Nick Klein (Sugarcreek-Garaway) has added 215 yards on 69 totes.
The quarterback rotation of junior Matt Shaul (Grove City) and sophomore Josh Lowery (Cambridge) have connected on 95-of-172 passes for 1,186 yards. The Muskies are averaging just under 300 yards per game in total offense.
We will continue to rotate our quarterbacks, Heacock said. We will stay close to the vest and mix the run and pass. They (Marietta) are very aggressive on defense.
The Muskies will probably be without the services of senior defensive back Ryan Spicer (Junction City-New Lexington) due to a high ankle sprain suffered last week. Spicer is leading Muskingum and the OAC in interceptions.
He is doubtful for Saturday, Heacock said of Spicer. The ankle hasnt responded to treatments this week. That is unfortunate, but a part of football. He has had a tremendous year, but others will have to step up now.
Muskingum leads the overall series 45-34-2, with the last Muskie win a 31-29 victory in 2000. Kick-off time at Don Drumm Field is 1:30 p.m.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 23-year-old Jacksonville woman who lost her unborn child after being shot in the stomach in an argument that started on Facebook said she's still in shock that her friend would shoot her.
Markeisha Brooks, who was six months pregnant, was in the hospital for more than two weeks but is now out and recovering. Virginia Wyche, 35, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and killing of an unborn child by injury to the mother. Wyche (pictured below) was going to be the child's godmother.
"A lot of pain, still a little bit of pain, but it's mostly inside now, more emotional than physical," Brooks said in an exclusive interview with Channel 4 Thursday.
Brooks was going to name her daughter Peyton.
"When I went to go look at my child, the damage that the bullet did to her, it really put a toll on my heart," Brooks said. "It was really sad to see that as a mother."
The killing made national headlines as the Facebook shooting. Brooks didn't want to go into too many details because the case is ongoing, but she said she had an argument online with Wyche that day and went over to her house to talk about it.
"My family is devastated. My sister is devastated," said Katrice Wyche, Virginia Wyche's sister. "It's a sad situation about the child being lost."
Virginia Wyche's mom and sister feel for everyone involved in the shooting last month, but they believe their family member acted in self-defense.
"She is devastated. She is feeling that her rights have been violated," Katrice Wyche said. "She doesn't understand how doing something in her defense at her residence could land her where she is. And now with the word murder being associated with her actions, she is just devastated."
"That whole 'is self-defense thing' is a lie," Brooks said.
Brooks denies being aggressive.
"I never put my hands on her. No physical touching," she said. "There was barely even an argument. As far as me coming over to her home, we were close."
Brooks said she forgives Virginia Wyche.
"I forgave her already. She's been forgiven a long time ago," Brooks said. "She has to deal with herself and the consequences."
Wyche is being held in the Duval County jail on $1 million bond. She will be arraigned May 15.

The first book that I remember reading was a Dr. Seuss story called "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." How I loved that book! I kept checking it out over and over again. Of course, I was 25 at the time and the people at the library were getting a bit concerned about me but that's another story.
Seriously though. I'm a kid at heart.
My favorite time of year is finally here. I'm not talking about the holiday season. I'm talking about basketball season.
Football and baseball come in second and third, but basketball is No. 1 for me – like most Kentuckians. I'm as big of a Dallas Cowboys fan as you'll find, and I make it a point to know my favorite baseball team, the Cincinnati Reds, inside and out. That being said, basketball has been my favorite sport since I was old enough to dribble a ball.

Would you have a problem with a police van being parked in your neighborhood? This same armored vehicle has large red letters painted on the side that state, "Warning: You are under video surveillance." The front bumper taunts, "Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?" This is the "The Peacemaker," the Fort Lauderdale Police Department's new surveillance weapon to fight crime.
The first Peacemaker served its previous life as a Brinks' armored truck which was discontinued and then purchased for $10 by Florida law enforcement. The newest Peacemaker is a converted SWAT vehicle. These are unmanned crime fighting vehicles that are parked in problem or high-crime neighborhoods, or parked in front of houses where suspected drug dealers live. According to the SunSentinel, Detective Travis Mandell stated, "Make no mistakes about it. We want people to know that we are watching the bad guys."
The SunSentinel reported, "Mixing high tech with simplicity, the in-your-face strategy is straightforward: load an out-of-service armored truck with some of the latest surveillance equipment available and decorate it with police emblems. Then, simply leave it parked in front of trouble spots." Peacemakers are fitted with surveillance cameras that stream live video to police headquarters. Up to eight cameras are attached to each bullet-proof window in order to film panoramic footage for up to 700 hours.
In the video, one man who "loves" the Peacemaker being parked in his neighborhood said, "You have people complaining that they don't want that on this block, so I think that's a red flag and I think the police should focus on those people." That seems to imply if you do not like a surveillance truck parked in your neighborhood, then you are a potential criminal (or worse a potential terrorist), one of "those people."
If those people happen to be "anti-social" juveniles who are loitering or creating graffiti, then there's a high tech tool for that as well. In fact, it discourages all "anti-social behavior" such as loitering, graffiti, and any "unwanted gatherings of youths and teenagers in shopping malls, around shops and anywhere else they are causing problems." It's a sonic deterrent security device called the Mosquito. It emits a high-frequency sound that can be heard for 114 to 131 feet by people younger than 25. Anyone, not just the police, can purchase one. The Mosquito device "usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes to take effect." Groups and individuals who are exposed to "The Mosquito device's persistent high frequency noise will only endure it for a short period of time before leaving the area."
Those youths may shriek as they run away, which brings us to "sound DNA." The Public Journal pointed out that the Department of Acoustics Criminology use "sound DNA," which are recordings of voices that can be checked against more than 4,000 offenders and then spit out a name in seconds. By using the IdentitysVox program, it creates a sound "lineup" of suspects based off the voice prints. The sound of suspects' voices are compared and contrasted with a "hundred voices with identical features." Then the "system reveals a statistical value similar to that expressed in the DNA and allows you to set whether the similarity between them is strong, moderate or mild." A computer screen also shows a curved dotted red, green and blue graph with details of how well the voice matches. Voice biometrics and forensic acoustics are not new and voice prints are used as evidence in court. How reliable is sound DNA? "There is only 1 chance in 28 million that this DNA belongs to someone else."
If that makes your heart beat hard, hoping you are not the 1 the DNA voice print is wrong about, then that brings us to the heartbeat detector which "works like a seismograph that records the vibrations produced by the heart." It is often used to detect illegal immigrants hiding in trucks. It not only detects heartbeats, but distinguishes between humans and animals and "even indicates the area of the vehicle where the immigrant is hidden" and if they move. "It's located immigrants hidden in a mattress or in the structure of the pilot's seat."
The same heartbeat detection may make passwords obsolete. Gizmodo reported the technology is in the works to "unlock your hard drive by simply touching your keyboard. Your unique heartbeat, emitted through your fingertip, would be your password." Even with your own unique heartbeat, no two heartbeats are quite the same. Taiwan researchers have "translated a human heartbeat into an encryption key using an electrocardiograph reading from an individual's palm. Their unique series of thump-thumpa generated a secret key." Right now it's a proof of concept, but "the goal is to build the system into external hard drives and other devices that can be decrypted and encrypted simply by touching them."

Kmart: A Fix-Up on Fast Forward
The hot seat at Kmart Corp. (KM ) is getting even hotter. With the retailer limping through bankruptcy proceedings, CEO James B. Adamson faces increased pressure from creditors to come up with a plan to rescue Kmart by early next year--at least six months before it had counted on emerging from Chapter 11. With sales plummeting, a dismal back-to-school shopping season behind it, and an anemic-looking holiday season ahead, Adamson is hoping a holiday miracle convinces creditors he's still the man to fix Kmart.
To be sure, Adamson has made some progress. He closed 283 of Kmart's 2,100 stores, cut $130 million in annual overhead, and made headway in keeping the shelves fully stocked--a chronic problem at Kmart. But losses have mounted to nearly $2 billion since Jan. 22, when Kmart, with $36 billion in sales last year, became the largest retailer ever to declare bankruptcy.
Moreover, Adamson was a company director before being named chairman and CEO, following the ouster of Charles C. Conaway. While he chaired the audit committee, the board failed to recognize the depth of Kmart's financial deterioration until it was too late. Adamson has also been tarnished by Securities & Exchange Commission and FBI investigations into Kmart's accounting and compensation practices. Directors approved $23 million in loans to 24 senior execs only two months before Kmart went broke. Now Kmart is looking into the role its directors played, and insiders say it may sue to recoup the money. As a result, it's unclear whether Adamson will get the time he needs. "It's make-or-break time for him," says a person close to the company. "People have run out of patience."
Bondholders have another reason to want a speedy reorganization: Kmart bonds have fallen 75% in value, to only 20 cents on the dollar, since January. In bankruptcy, vendors demand stiffer payment terms, day-to-day financing costs are higher, and fees to lawyers and consultants eat up badly needed cash. It's likely the bonds will be converted into common stock once Kmart exits Chapter 11, giving bondholders a chance to sell out and recoup their losses. But their fear is that the longer that takes, the less those shares will be worth. And if Kmart has to liquidate--still considered unlikely--a fire sale probably wouldn't satisfy creditors. In any case, no one has expressed an interest in buying the chain.
This summer, Kmart executives suggested that the Troy (Mich.)-based discounter might not emerge from Chapter 11 until 2004. Adamson is keenly aware that a hasty reorganization could set Kmart up for failure--just look at discount rival Ames Department Stores Inc., which filed for bankruptcy twice before finally liquidating earlier this year.
Adamson would like to decide, for instance, how many more stores need closing or what to do about the disappointing Super Kmarts, which sell groceries as well as hard goods. "You need to emerge with the right capital structure, and with enough capital to fix the business and ensure [vendor] support," he says. "If you don't, then you could end up back in bankruptcy."
But with the two largest bondholder groups breathing down his neck, Adamson may have to take that risk. "They refocused us," Adamson says of Edward S. Lampert's ESL Investments Inc. and Martin J. Whitman's Third Avenue Value Fund, who between them control Kmart debt with a face value of $1 billion--about 25% of the total. Neither investor would comment for this story. But now, Adamson says, "We're feeling that July or earlier is possible. Maybe we can't make it picture-perfect, but we can do enough work to come up with a five-year plan that can be a springboard for an exit." Asked if his job is in jeopardy, Adamson demurs, but adds: "A change in senior leadership will dramatically hurt this company. Even if we have a lousy Christmas, people realize that it would be harmful."
That's because he says Kmart is slowly turning around. The company is making headway with its inventory problems, for instance. In Chicago and Detroit stores, a new system guarantees customers that sale items will always be in stock. If it works, the system will be duplicated nationwide. On the merchandising front, Kmart's hottest asset, Martha Stewart, which totals $1.5 billion annually, has a new line of holiday decorations. Kmart insists that sales of Martha Stewart goods have not been hurt by her involvement in the Imclone stock-trading scandal. And Kmart's new line of Joe Boxer apparel and household goods is on track to sell more than $1 billion a year.
All the same, Adamson has yet to get much traction from his efforts. For the first half of the year, overall same-stores sales fell 11.4% from 2001 levels. Some disruption was expected in the months after the bankruptcy filing as the retailer scrambled to restock its shelves. What's alarming is that sales haven't rebounded since then. In August, the start of the important back-to-school shopping season, same-store sales plummeted 11.9%, compared with a 3.1% increase on average for all discounters, according to research house Sanford C. Bernstein. After Kmart filed for Chapter 11, vendors temporarily stopped shipments. The merchandise eventually returned, but the customers didn't. Says Adamson: "They're just not coming back as fast as we would like."
That bodes ill for the upcoming holiday season. Says one former senior Kmart executive: "If they don't do something unbelievably dramatic, I can't imagine the banks continuing to deal with them after Christmas." The sad truth is that Adamson & Co. would be happy if holiday sales fell only 5% to 6% from last year. Such is the state of affairs at Kmart: Only slightly falling sales end up looking like a gift.

Togo profile
Private media have proliferated; there are dozens of commercial and community radios and weekly newspapers, as well as a handful of private TV stations.
However, many private media firms have shaky finances and lag behind state-owned rivals in attracting advertising revenue.
Radio is the most popular medium, particularly in rural areas. The main TV station is government-owned Television Togolaise. The government also operates Togo-Presse daily.
While press freedom is legally guaranteed, this is often ignored by the government, US-based Freedom House reports. Impunity for crimes against journalists has created a "tense and illiberal" media environment, the NGO adds.
The BBC broadcasts in the capital on 97.5 FM. Also on air in Lome is Gabon's Africa No 1. Radio France Internationale broadcasts on FM in Lome and Kara.
There were 356,000 internet users by June 2010 (Internetworldstats).

'Super-Earths' orbit nearby stars
Scientists say the discoveries are a step towards finding potentially habitable planets - smaller planets that are comparable to the Earth. Details of the new planets are described in two papers in the Astrophysical Journal.
Horse genome unlocked by science
The genome of a domestic horse has been successfully sequenced by an international team of researchers. The work, published in the journal Science, may shed light on how horses were domesticated.
It also reveals similarities between the horse and other placental mammals, such as bovids - the hoofed group including goats, bison and cattle. The authors also found horses share much of their DNA with humans, which could have implications for medicine. Horses suffer from more than 90 hereditary diseases that show similarities to those in humans.
Mobile phone users cannot walk in straight line
People chatting on mobile phones are oblivious to their surroundings and can pose a risk to themselves and others, scientists have claimed. Researchers made the discovery by watching the movements of hundreds of people as they crossed a university campus.
They then got a clown to ride a unicycle around the campus square and asked how many phone users spotted him as they walked by. They found that those that used mobile phones meandered randomly and failed to ackowledge other pedesterians. More than two-thirds also failed to notice the clown, even though he wore a purple and yellow shirt, outsized shoes and a giant red nose.
Europeans find 32 new planets outside solar system
European astronomers have found 32 new planets outside our solar system, adding evidence to the theory that the universe has many places where life could develop.
Scientists using the European Southern Observatory telescope didn't find any planets quite the size of Earth or any that seemed habitable or even unusual. But their announcement increased the number of planets discovered outside the solar system to more than 400. Six of the newly found planets are several times bigger than Earth, increasing the population of so-called super-Earths by more than 30 percent.
Glimpses of Solar System's edge
The first results from Nasa's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (Ibex) spacecraft have shown unexpected features at our Solar System's edge.
Ibex was launched nearly one year ago to map the heliosphere, the region of space defined by the extent of our Sun's solar wind. Ibex's first glimpses show that the heliosphere is not shaped as many astronomers have believed. A series of papers in the journal Science outlines the results.
Smithsonian to Open Hall Dedicated to Story of Human Evolution
The National Museum of Natural History announced Wednesday that it is dedicating a new hall to the story of human evolution, giving emphasis not only to how we became humans but how changes in the natural world affected human development.
The Hall of Human Origins, tracing a 6 million-year history, is scheduled to open March 17 -- 100 years to the day that the museum opened. "Humans evolved over millions of years in response to a changing world," said Rick Potts, the Smithsonian's director of the Human Origins Program and an internationally known anthropologist.
Italian scientists claim to debunk Shroud of Turin
Scientists have reproduced the Shroud of Turin— revered as the cloth that covered Jesus in the tomb — and say the experiment proves the relic was man-made, a group of Italian debunkers claimed Monday.
The shroud bears the figure of a crucified man, complete with blood seeping out of nailed hands and feet, and believers say Christ's image was recorded on the linen fibers at the time of his resurrection.

text: PoliticsSyria given week to declare chemical weapons Russia and US agree fast-track plan to eliminate stockpiles from war-torn country. 14 Sep 2013 20:24 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Russia, Syria Syria has a week to declare its chemical weapons and must allow international inspections, the US Secretary of State John Kerry has said after talks with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. The demands are part of a six-point plan aimed at eliminating Syria's stockpiles by mid-2014, which was agreed on Saturday by the US and Russia after three days of negotiations in Geneva. Live Box 2012108933861442 Speaking at a news conference with Lavrov, Kerry said that weapons inspectors should be on the ground in Syria by November with the goal of eliminating President Bashar al-Assad's stockpiles by mid-2014. "Providing this framework is fully implemented it can end the threat these weapons pose not only to the Syrian people but also to their neighbours," Kerry said. "Because of the threat of proliferation this framework can provide greater protection and security to the world. "The world will now expect Assad's regime to live up to its commitments... There can be no room for games. Or anything less than full compliance." However, the agreement did not mention any threat of force if Syria failed to comply, instead stating that the regime would become the subject of an as-yet unwritten UN Security Council resolution. Lavrov said the plan was based upon "consensus and compromise", while Kerry said there was no pre-agreement on what action the Security Council would take if Syria failed to comply. Efforts earlier this week to draft a resolution were complicated by Russia and the West's differences on the threat of force. Al Jazeera's diplomatic editor James Bays said that the lack of agreement on the content of a resolution would be troubling to some nations, and there would be differing opinions on what constituted a violation. "We certainly know that the UK-French plan was to come up with a very tough resolution ... that would include all of this deal but it would automatically trigger the use of force if there was a violation." President Barack Obama welcomed the plan but said the US was "prepared to act" if Syria failed to comply. There has been no formal reaction from the Syrian regime. Opposition response The agreement was criticised by General Salim Idris of the Free Syrian Army, the main armed opposition group. "We cannot accept any part of this initiative," he said. "The FSA will work towards toppling Assad and does not care about US-Russia deals. I and my brothers in arms will continue to fight until the regime falls." He added that the FSA was "frustrated, and feels betrayed by the international community. It has no faith the UN will ever support it". Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Antakya in Turkey, said that Idris was obviously angered by the deal. "You heard him say it was a device to buy time for the Syrian regime and the Russians were aiding and abetting the process. And he feels - and he's said this before - that it misses the main point: that more than 100,000 Syrians have been killed by conventional means, and that war continues. "The initiative doesn't do anything to address that, nor the country's rapidly increasing refugee crisis." The US accuses the Assad regime of killing 1,429 people in a chemical assault in Damascus suburbs on August 21. Assad denies involvement in the attack. The US at first pushed for military action against Assad, but later agreed to try to find a diplomatic solution after the intervention of Assad's ally, Russia. The US-Russia deal could also pave the way for the resumption of peace talks to end the civil war, now in its third year. More than 100,000 people have been killed, and millions have fled either to other countries or to safer areas within Syria.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

|Microalbuminuria in Children With and Without Diabetes
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2005
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2008
Diabetic nephropathy is a known cause of significant morbidity and mortality in adult patients with diabetes. Microalbuminuria (MA) is predictive of future diabetic nephropathy (DN) in adult patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). This link between MA levels and DN allows patients to receive timely interventions. The predictive value of MA for DN in children with DM, however, is not well established. Most studies looking at this association in children have only been forced to use adult MA values. Children, particularly adolescents, are known to have different normal values for 24-hour total protein excretion compared to adults and it may be that they also have different normal levels of MA. Little literature exists on normal levels of 24 hr MA in healthy children and in children with diabetes.
In this study, we seek to define the range of MA levels that falls between the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles for children with and without DM. Once these values are established, we will have a foundation for further studies to define which, if any, MA values are predictive of DN in children. If we can establish a MA level which is predictive of DN in children, it will allow physicians to direct medical intervention at those most likely to benefit while protecting others from unnecessary medications, procedures, and risks.

Bank of America liable in fraud case
NEW YORK — Bank of America was found liable for fraud on Wednesday for a program — dubbed "the Hustle" — that caused millions in losses to federally backed mortgage finance firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac amid fallout from the financial crisis.
The civil verdict by a Manhattan federal court jury similarly found the bank's Countrywide Financial unit liable and determined that former Countrywide executive Rebecca Mairone committed fraud while overseeing the loan-origination program.
Bank of America acquired Countrywide in July 2008.
The decision following a month-long trial focused on evidence that the Countrywide program processed mortgage applications at high speed with little checking for fraud, misrepresentations or other potential wrongdoing.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff is expected to determine civil costs to be paid by the bank in the penalty phase of the case.
"Almost a year to the day after we brought suit, a unanimous jury has found Countrywide, Bank of America and senior executive Rebecca Mairone liable for making disastrously bad loans and systematically removing quality checks in favor of its own balance," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. "As demonstrated at trial, they adopted a program that they called the Hustle, which treated quality control and underwriting as a joke."
Bank of America bought Countrywide "thinking it had gobbled up a cash cow," said Bharara, but profits from the program were "built on fraud."
Bank of America spokesman Lawrence Grayson said the Charlotte-based financial giant, the second-largest U.S. bank, is studying the verdict.
"The jury's decision concerns a single Countrywide program that lasted several months and ended before Bank of America's acquisition of the company," Grayson said. "We will evaluate our options for appeal."
Defense attorney Marc Mukasey called Mairone "a model of honesty, integrity and ethics." Insisting there was no fraud, Mukasey said, "We'll fight on."

Six sons of bin Laden to lose Saudi Arabian citizenship
Six of Osama bin Laden's 11 sons will soon be stripped of their Saudi Arabian nationality, the kingdom's Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz said in an interview published Friday by the London-based Asharq Al Awsat newspaper.
"They will be stripped of their Saudi nationality, like their father, whose Saudi nationality was withdrawn in 1994 for his involvement in terrorist activities and criticism of the ruling Saud family," Prince Nayef was quoted as saying.
Targets of the impending measure are identified as Saad, Hamza, Saif, Mohammed, Khaled and Laden, the youngest. They are thought to be living with their father.
The other five bin Laden sons, who live in Saudi Arabia, will retain their nationality, the minister said. (Albawaba.com)

Kosovo – Government nears sale of 75% interest in telecom incumbent
Kosovo has benefited from financial and regulatory assistance as part of the EU pre-accession process, The EU remains Kosovo's main trading partner and its main source of foreign direct investment.
Telecom sector overview
The country's telecom sector has been liberalised, with new legislation introduced in late 2012 to align with the EU's revised regulatory framework. It also adopted measures relating to competition and to facilitating the market entry of new players. Nevertheless, poor telecom infrastructure has meant that fixed-line penetration remains low by European standards. Unlike most markets, the fixed-line broadband sector is dominated by new players, in particular the cable operator IPKO which has upgraded its network with DOCSIS3.0 technology.
Broadband market
Broadband penetration in Kosovo is developing slowly, with effective competition between the main cable and DSL operators. There are a number of smaller ISPs, though the sector is dominated by only two players. Cable accounts for the majority of connections, and though the incumbent PTK is building out an upgraded fibre-based NGN investment has been insufficient.
Mobile market
The mobile sector accounts for most lines as well as the greater part of telecom revenue. Two MNOs compete with two MVNOs, though the latter have a very small market presence. The prepaid sector accounts for the vast majority of subscribers, though it is gradually losing ground as more contract subscribers sign up for services. Mobile data services will become increasingly important in coming years as a source of new revenue growth.

(Source: BuddeComm based on industry data)
Market highlights:
- Competition in the liberalised telecom market has been facilitated by the 2012 Law On Electronic Telecommunications which aims to ease the market entry of new players. Nevertheless, continuing poor investment in the sector has meant that fixed-line telecoms penetration in Kosovo remains among the lowest in Europe.
- Broadband availability through DSL, cable and wireless services is being supplemented by nascent FttX deployments. Poor infrastructure means that rural broadband is still dominated by wireless access: WiMAX networks offer near universal population coverage, though data speeds are commonly about 256Kb/s, which severely limits internet functionality.
- Digital TV programming is available from the cable TV operator IPKO. The country's main broadcasters have formed a consortium to promote digital terrestrial TV development.
- Competition in the mobile market is secured by two MNOs and two MVNOs, though the latter have a limited presence. Relatively high mobile penetration showcases the sector's popularity as a customer response to poor fixed-line infrastructure.

text: Hi All, I've had a right touch today and managed to strike a deal with a Alloy Fab company. Currently they don't sell a kit for the S3 but with my help we will create a kit to sell. They will send me out the intercooler and various piping, brackets and so on to make it fit. Once done then they will have a kit to sell. "I will be doing a write up with photos, too provide with the kit" I have asked them if I could organize a group buy for ASN members which they have agreed to do. They don't have a price yet because we don't know what the kit will consist of but i'm fairly confident it will be much cheaper then other kit's Forge and the A&H route. I'm just trying to gauge interest on the group buy. I will be doing the work at the weekend so will let you know how it goes and post pic's on sunday.
