Neuroimaging Personality, Social Cognition, and Character covers the science of combining brain imaging with other analytical techniques for use in understanding cognition, behavior, consciousness, memory, language, visual perception, emotional control, and other human attributes. Multidimensional brain imaging research has led to a greater understanding of character traits such as honesty, generosity, truthfulness, and foresight previously unachieved by quantitative mapping. This book summarizes the latest brain imaging research pertaining to character with structural and functional human brain imaging in both normal individuals and those with brain disease or disorder, including psychiatric disorders. By reviewing and synthesizing the latest structural and functional brain imaging research related to character, this book situates itself into the larger framework of cognitive neuroscience, psychiatric neuroimaging, related fields of research, and a wide range of academic fields, such as politics, psychology, medicine, education, law, and religion.

And they did quit on you. They put their stuff in a truck and drove down the interstate. In a weak moment, the NFL couldn't leave well enough alone.
And they did quit on you. They put their stuff in a truck and drove down the interstate. In a weak moment, the NFL couldn't leave well enough alone.
Come on, dude, you're not going to find more long-suffering and embarrassed fans than people who are sticking with the Reds through Marge, Bowden, Bob Boone, Narron, O'Brien, Miley, Lindner, Allen, Jimmy Haynes, Eric Milton....shall I continue?
If being a Reds' fan doesn't test your mettle, then absolutely NOTHING does.
So spare every person on this board your righteous indignation, because we're lower than a snake's ass in a wagon trail, each and every one of us.
I work with a guy who is a die-hard Bengals fan. He has lived and breathed the Bengals since I've known him, meaning through the very dismal and depressing 90's. Regardless, this guy came into work every night wearing his Bengals jacket and hat with pride. And I admired and respected him, while others mocked him, because he was very true to his team when many others, who during those dreadful times, wouldn't be caught dead wearing Bengal colors or confessing any allegiance.
But now that the Bengals have turned it around.. and I'm glad they have bevcause I enjoy watching them too even though I am a Browns fan... some of those same people are now walking around with Bengal hats on.
My point is simply this.... you stand by your team, regardless of who it is, through thick and thin.
And if it's simply about being associated with a winner, then why are we all Red fans?
P.S. The Browns played one heck of a game today vs the Jets. I was actually impressed with the way the offense was ran under their new Offensive Coordinator. Droughns had a great day, and they mixed it up well with their receivers. But the O-line was actually performing much better. It was good to see because they do have some playmakers on this team.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I didn't understand why the play was not reviewed on the catch there at the end. I caught it after the fact while they were discussing it. Looked to me like it was highly suspect that it was not reviewed. I also noticed that it was the crew that screwed the Bengals against the Bucaneers. Was that play reviewed, and if not, why not? Looked like it easily could have been ruled a catch based on the defender taking him out of bounds when he would have otherwise come down inbounds were it not for the hit.
I didn't get the impression he was stating that. He was basically "calling out" sava for abandoning his team, whom he has followed for many years, and now becoming a Bengals fan why?.... because they are now winning and the Browns are losing?I don't doubt that you are a huge Browns fan, but don't try to pass of Browns fans as a whole as somehow better than the fans of other teams. They aren't.
Hypothetically...Would it be any different if a Bengals fan, fed up with the losing, came on here and decided they were going to become a Steeler fan simply because they were tired of the losing and want to be associated with a winner?
Where is one's loyalty?
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Art Modell quit on us, and screwed over very loyal fans. It had nothing to do with lack of support for the team by the city and fans, but a spolied owner not getting his way by trying to blackmail the city.
It had nothing to do with a weak moment tr. The reason why they put a team back in Cleveland... and there were several reasons... was because next to the 49ers, the Browns had the #2 market in all of NFL. And that is a fact.They put their stuff in a truck and drove down the interstate. In a weak moment, the NFL couldn't leave well enough alone.
Do a little research on the Brown Backers fan organization worldwide, and tell me how many other NFL teams have such backing.

"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I think one of the few places there is still loyalty is in one's sports teams. But I don't think there is any man law yet that says one cannot jump a sinking ship and jump on board with an organization headed in the right direction. Now, if Sava liked the Steelers this year, and the Patriots in 2004 and 2005, and the Buccaneers after the 2003 season, then I might hear what you're saying
As far as OLD RIGHTHANDER's post goes, while it was initially addressed to savafan, he made a lot of sweeping statements about Bengals fans that were unwarranted. If anything I think Browns fans and Bengals fans should be able to understand where the other is coming from. We've all had to deal with abysmal teams run into the ground by an owner whose own ego seemed to stand in the way of success.
To be honest with you, for all the Browns and Bengals games I've been to, I've seen plenty of so-called "true fans" that I'd rather not be associated with, and I know my good friend the Browns season ticket holder feels the same way about many Browns fans. He was never more embarrassed in his life being associated with other Browns fans than after the bottle-throwing game. And of course the Bengals had to institute the "Jerk Line" for a reason.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune sued the Bengals and the National Football League on Friday, claiming the league violated federal antitrust laws when it "extorted" more than $450 million from taxpayers to build Paul Brown Stadium. To get their way, Portune claims, the teams threatened to move to cities willing to build new stadiums. Sounds familiar and im glad it never happened, I like having two Ohio teams, it makes for more excitment in the season. As for empty seats check out these numbers
Cleveland Browns
Overall support rank of 32 teams: 1
Average attendance: 72,868 (63,808)
Percent of capacity: 99.8% (94.7%)
Attendance fluctuation: 0.8 points (12.7 points)
Cincinnati Bengals
Overall support rank of 32 teams: 27
Average attendance: 56,796 (63,808)
Percent of capacity: 89.4% (94.7%)
Attendance fluctuation: 20.9 points (12.7 points)
As far as showing the games on tv goes thats all regional coverage, Dayton and cin. get the bengals along with Columbus, but most towns north of Darke county get the Browns games, so im not sure I get your point there. Those things are up to the Nfl coverage policies. Theres no fan census that im aware of but i would guess that there are just as many browns fans in the columbus area as there are bengal fans, and being that it is a closer drive to go to the game wouldn't the tv ratings on the browns game be atleast equal in this area if not better?

I don't understand small children. I'd love to, and I've tried to, but there are questions I'll never know the answer to, like why they don't do anything about the massive bogey sliding down their upper lip. I've spent the last couple of weeks on holiday in the company of two delightful kids, but our common ground is minimal and we regard each other with courteous suspicion, like foreign ministers attending trilateral talks on arms reduction.
Yesterday, they constructed an assault course for their toys that consisted of a skipping rope, several shoes, three towels, a tennis ball and a packet of biscuits. They asked me to come and play. I hesitated. My inner voice told me that this game made little sense on a number of levels, that the narrative was poor, the aims distinctly fuzzy and it would be better if we cleared it all away and played baccarat instead. That inability to suspend my cynicism upsets me bit, and I've developed a coping mechanism of making a comically stern face and leaving the room whenever I don't know what to say back to them. I leave the room quite a lot.
I had a similar problem a few years ago when I found myself having to write the children's page for St John's Ambulance magazine under the nom de plume of Bertie the Badger. I agonised over it for ages; I'd start writing and immediately want to say something about badger culls or make a topical observation about rural affairs. I just seem to have a fundamental inability to communicate with anyone under the age of 10. If I talk to them in a normal voice, they pay me very little attention; if l adopt cheery, sing-song speech patterns, they respond more positively, but in my head I just sound sarcastic. After all, if I used the same voice to say, "Ooh, that's a nice drawing!" to an adult, they'd probably ask security to eject me from the gallery.
God knows how I'd cope if I had kids of my own. I predict that my lack of imagination, my inability to construct fantastical yarns or make improbable leaps of faith would result in bedtime stories detailing the disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, followed by sleepless nights as I repeatedly reassure my offspring that it's OK, Mr Milosevic is dead now.

Rewards Edit
- 120 Influence
- 2 Power
Codex entries EditCodex entry: Ritual Tower
Other Descriptions Edit
The Lost Idol Edit
The relief carvings on this slab depict worshippers of Razikale, Old God of mysteries, engaged in a religious ceremony.
Faded Journal
We know they were here. They put up those awful statues of Andraste looking snobbish everywhere they go - not much of a secret location. We know they found a way to reverse Tranquility, but so far, nothing we've uncovered has told us how they did it.
I hate that statue. She just keeps sneering at me.
The Shortcut Edit
Scratched into the wood is the following message:
Can i get you a ladder to get off my back?
Lamarr Tower Edit
Senior Warden Lamarr, hero of the Second Battle of Forward Pass, held back three charges of darkspawn during the critical Long Night of the Second Blight and lost her life in service to Thedas.
— From the Grey Warden archives at Weisshaupt
The Surveyor Edit
This mining equipment has been abandoned for a very long time. Not even the scavengers have disturbed it.
Griffon Wing Monument Edit
In honor of the Wings of Adamant, the brave griffons who gave their lives in service to keep the Blight at bay.
In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
Shimmer Stone Mine Edit
The ground here trembles slightly underfoot.
Ancient Warden Logbook
So close. We nearly reached him. Made it down to what looked like a dwarven thaig where the song was actually audible, real and thrumming through the air, not just in our heads. It rattled through the lyrium pillars and shook the earth beneath our feet to its dreadful tempo. We lost thirty men in the last cave-in, and the Warden-Commander is abandoning the mission. I tried to argue for one last push, but the rock is too unstable down there. Well have to find another Archdemon somewhere more solid.
Zhores Tower Edit
Warden Zhores, commander of the defense of Adamant Fortress during the Long Night of the Second Blight, gave his life in battle against a hurlock alpha.
— From the Grey Warden archives at Weisshaupt
Hidden Stairway Edit
The stairway is extremely old and weathered. Its boards bear subtle gouges where clawed feet have tread. There are no indications of who built it or for what purpose.
Tersoro Tower Edit
Warden-commander Tersoro, slayer of over a hundred genlocks, gave her life in defense of the Abyssal Rift at the start of the Long Night of the Second Blight.
— From the Grey Warden archives at Weisshaupt
The Old Well Edit
This ancient cistern stinks like rotting meat.
Gates of Andoral Edit
Engraved on this gate are symbols of Andoral, Old God of slavery.
The Last Step Edit
A fragment of an inscription remains on one of the stones. It reads:
"...last step of civilization before the abyss..."
Gates of Toth Edit
This gate is carved with symbols of Toth, the Old God of fire.
The Thing in the Dark Edit
This statue is oddly warm to the touch and shivers slightly, as though it might have a pulse.

In another classic example of shifting standards on the Huffington Post, the HP covered the news of Saudi Arabia preparing to execute prisoners for the crime of robbery. According to the article, the prisoners claim they were tortured into confessing, had no access to lawyers, and were juveniles at the time of the robberies.
You might expect all the righteous, human rights activists on the Huffington Post to come out with furious anger at this obviously screwed up justice system, but instead, most of the top comments were the verbal equivalent of shrugging and walking away. There were less than 100 total, so it didn't take many favorites to be a top comment. Here's some examples:
Whatever happened to "human rights"?

No, Seriously, I Mean It
June 24, 2010 @ 7:37 pm | Filed under: Books
No more lists! Enough with the booklists! I just found two more library books on my nightstand, titles I left off this morning's library list:
For the Win by Cory Doctorow
Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce (I think I heard about this at Semicolon)
(What? Two books is not a list. Okay, it's a veryshortlist. Fine.)
And the library website informs me I have at least three more books on the way: a Scott Westerfield novel, another by Cory Doctorow, and the about-to-be-released Bamboo People by Mitali Perkins, whose Secret Keeper I liked very much. (Mitali, you may recall, has written the foreword for the upcoming reissue of Emily of Deep Valley, which, along with the double volume of Carney's House Party/Winona's Pony Cart, for which I had the pleasure of writing a foreword, will be released this coming October.) Bamboo People pubs next week, and I'm first in line at our library system.
Anyway, you know, that's IT. I am going to have to swear off book blogs until I catch up. (I will never catch up.) (I will never swear off book blogs.)
I did resist the VERY STRONG temptation to join Detective Girl and Mental Multivitamin in the Neal Stephenson summer reading project—the entire Baroque Cycle for DG, and Quicksilver (part one of the cycle) for Ms. M-mv—largely because I still haven't finished (yes, I started it!) Stephenson's Snow Crash, which I bought after Comic-Con two years ago. AND ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE FIFTY BOOKS PILED UP TO READ FIRST.
So that's exactly how much self-restraint I have. I decided not to read this one book until I read some of the others. I'm sure you're impressed with my strength of mind.
Speaking of Stephenson, I'm glad I read The Diamond Age before the launch of the iPad. It has been great fun reading all the descriptions of the device with the image of Nell's Illustrated Primer so fresh in my mind. How prescient of Stephenson. We don't have his "smart paper" yet, but the iPad isn't far removed from his vision.
And I feel somewhat chagrined for not picking it up the first time through, but I JUST GOT the connection between Diamond Age's Mr. PhyrePhox and, duh, Firefox. At least, I'm assuming (now that I've noticed it) that the similarity is no accident. An homage?

Ooh! Like the sound of Diamond Age! Reserved 🙂
My husband has been reading the Baroque Cycle for AGES. Well, I guess he finally must have finished because lately it seems like it's all Patrick O'Brien, all the time.
[…] a lesson for me here, and it's that making reading lists, while a deeply satisfying activity, has, for me, practically nothing to do with the actual reading […]
Melissa, I found you through your link to my blog. I too alternately love and loathe my booklists. And congrats for not getting sucked into my crazy idea of reading the Baroque Cycle. it's very good, and very involving so far, but it's a heckuva project. I'm taking a break after Book 1 and read 2 graphic novels and one novel, then I'll tackle the next in the trilogy.
I feel similarly about Diamond Age–I flat out love it, and love much of what it has to say about girls and literature. I've been musing on good/bad lit for girls recently after having read about the Bechdel test (http://dykestowatchoutfor.com/the-rule) for films (has to have 1. 2 women characters with names, 2. having a conversation 3. about something other than men), and eying books through the same lens, and seeing how terribly so many of the books I read as a girl fail it.
Finish Snow Crash, then I'd check out Cryptonomicon before tackling the Baroque Cycle.
And while it's been long enough since I read DA that I don't remember PhyrePhox, I'm sure that's a connection. Stephenson is a very forward thinking tech-head, who ironically writes his huge books out in longhand.
[…] From my 2010 booknotes on The Diamond Age: Neo-Victorians, nanotech, and education: this novel had me at hello. Top-notch world-building; there's a little dose of cyberpunk in the opening, with a ruffian named Bud getting himself fitted up with a skull gun that fires explosive bullets upon his mental command; and then we're whisked off to New Atlantis/Shanghai, the home base of a thriving Neo-Victorian community, where the upper crust are Equity Lords (aristocrats by dint of their corporate ties) and the birthday entertainments involve creating fairylands that rise out of the sea for a day, thanks to the limitless possibilities of molecular manipulation. There is something delightful about this melding of Dickensian characters and futuristic tech. […]

Is Egypt Evolving, or Collapsing?
Spencer Platt/Getty Images
Many Egyptians rejoiced last week after the ouster of Mohamed Morsi, the nation's first democratically elected leader. However, his supporters amassed quickly, and the demonstrations turned violent. It's not clear who might lead the nation until elections; it's not even clear whether Morsi's deposal was a step toward democracy or a step back.
Regardless, now that Morsi has been forced out, the practical questions may be: Will Egypt be more or less turbulent? How can Egyptians work toward a stable democracy?Read the Discussion »

Most 3rd party vendors support only 32 bit versions of Microsoft Office (and even Microsoft recommends that you use only 32 bit version of Office). However, we support both 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Office.
Here are the steps to determine which version of Microsoft Office 2013 you are running:
- Go to the backstage view of your Microsoft Office product by clicking on the "File" tab:
- Click on "Office Account" tab in the backstage view.
- Click on the "About Product" button (In Outlook, the button will say "About Outlook", in Word, the button will say "About Word", etc).
- This will launch the About window with the bit version listed on at the top (as highlighted in the image below)

Then I removed the four screws that mounted to th sink mount.I exchanged the existing cord since the new one does not come with one. That's it.

Low on manpower: Syrian Army Manpower
Published: July 27, 2015
Low on manpower: Syrian Army Manpower, In a striking admission, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria said on Sunday that the country's army faced a manpower shortage and had ceded some areas to insurgents in order to hold onto other regions deemed more important.
Mr. Assad also acknowledged in a speech televised from Damascus, the Syrian capital, that many Syrians could not watch the address because of the lack of electricity in many areas and noted the economic hardships that people are facing after more than four years of an increasingly complex civil war.
What was unusual was not the fact of the struggles that Mr. Assad mentioned, which have been obvious for some time, but his mentioning them at all. It was his most substantive public nod yet to the magnitude of the challenges to his government and of the struggles confronting ordinary Syrians. In previous public speeches and interviews, he has sometimes seemed at odds with reality, glossing over setbacks and denying that the government is dropping barrel bombs in the northern city of Aleppo, a well-documented and regular occurrence.
The remarks came within an address that, overall, retained Mr. Assad's usual confident, defiant tone – promising victory, praising the army, blaming foreign meddling for the war.
But they also came amid other indications of strain on the army and at a time when even Mr. Assad's loyalists are increasingly expressing frustration that their leaders have not eased or even acknowledged their plight. Some also grumble about the growing military role of Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed militias, complaining that they are encroaching on Syrian sovereignty without producing victory.
On Saturday, Mr. Assad issued a general amnesty for Syrians who have avoided military duty or deserted the security forces – provided they have not joined the insurgency against him. He has issued amnesties in the past but has yet to release thousands of political prisoners, leaving many people mistrustful of this latest pledge.
Sunday's speech also came as Hezbollah and Syrian troops are struggling to subdue the insurgent-held city of Zabadani. Their assault, which had been billed as quick and easy, has gone on for weeks, with many casualties on both sides and the opposition accusing the government of dropping hundreds of barrel bombs indiscriminately.
There has also been an intensifying campaign of army recruitment advertising in government-held areas, as even loyalist families grow more reluctant to send sons to the army rather than keep them home to defend their areas.
Mr. Assad's acknowledgment of difficulties came amid a flurry of other developments that, taken together, have raised speculation about whether a new round of long-stalled peace talks, or at least the laying of groundwork for possible talks, could be taking place.
There have been whispers of a grand bargain being proposed that would unite Mr. Assad's backers and opponents to fight against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, which has fed on the Syrian conflict and has come to be seen as a global threat. Blocking the way to any such deal is the deep divide over whether Mr. Assad will stay or go.

Alojzije Stepinac, archbishop of Zagreb during Yugoslavia's darkest hours in the Second World War, was tried after the victory of Josip Tito's Communist partisans for supporting the Nazi-backed independent Croatian state. Under that regime, led by the dictator Ante Pavelic, Serbs, Jews and gypsies were persecuted and tens of thousands - if not more - killed in pogroms and camps.
Most Croats thought Stepinac's trial in 1946 was a show trial and that his real crime was not collaboration with fascists but outspoken anti- Communism. Before his death, under house arrest in 1960, he had become a virtual saint in the eyes of Croatia's Catholic majority.

Seb Coe today said it was "an anomaly" that expectant parents were being told their babies will be refused entry to the Olympic Games unless they have a ticket.
The London 2012 chairman stressed that cut-price tickets for children had been sold and added that "we want to be a family friendly organisation".
He told ITV1's Daybreak: "It is an anomaly and we accept that.
"We had a scheme for families called Pay Your Age, which allowed you to take a child and pay the age of the child, so if you had a seven-year-old child you'd pay £7.
"We've been on that page for a long time but as you quite rightly point out, there are people that have bought tickets that have subsequently had babies.
"We will look at that. We recognise that we want to be a family friendly organisation."
Women may have a case for sex discrimination if they are prevented from taking babies, including those they are breastfeeding, to the Games.
Under 2012 rules, expectant parents have been told they can try to buy an extra ticket for their chosen event, although there are concerns that none will be available for popular events.
People who get an extra ticket for their baby will be able to hold the infant in their laps but must show a ticket for somewhere in the venue, even if they do not use the seat.
Most tickets went on sale last April - 15 months before the Games. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) has said it would reconsider the issue in April when more tickets go on sale.
Over the last few weeks, expectant mothers have described the policy as "discriminatory" on Mumsnet. Liberty has said women can contact the human rights group for help.
The National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham, which hosts a range of international sporting events, does not have a strict age policy in place.
"However, we say that generally before a child is walking, we are happy for them to be admitted without a ticket," a spokesman said.
At Lord's cricket matches, babies and toddlers under three go in for free. Wimbledon does not recommend babies are taken. Children under five are allowed in without a ticket - but may not enter Centre Court or the other show courts.
At Wembley Stadium, restrictions vary on an event-by-event basis. For those events which do allow children under 16, all spectators must have a ticket.
At Twickenham Stadium, children under two do not require a ticket but must be securely strapped to an adult sitting in the lower tier.

Nietzsche, Politics and Modernity (Philosophy and Social Criticism series)
by David Owen
No current Talk conversations about this book.

References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0803977670, Paperback)Written in a clear and engaging style, this text demonstrates Nietzsche's significance as a philosopher and as a political theorist by highlighting his critique of liberalism (in both its philosophical and political forms) and by elaborating the form of ethical and political understanding which his philosophy discloses.
In describing Nietzsche's diagnosis of the modern condition, this book explains the central aspects of his thought including the will to power, the Overman and amor fati. David Owen traces the relevance of Nietzsche's philosophy to current debates in political theory and engages with key figures such as MacIntyre, Taylor, Rorty and Rawls. Owen argues that the liberalism of the latter two can be seen a

Was very disappointed with what got for $100. It was a quarter of what the photo shows on the website. They offered to try and fix it but I was pressed for time and the amount of flowers in this bouquet was just sad and the colors were so drab... The orange roses had black edges that looked like they were ready to die...I will never use this florist again! Wished I could attach the pics to show how sad this arrangement was. Was NOT worth $100!!

No group feels rising prices as keenly as pensioners. They're usually on a fixed income and many of the items which seems to be rising the fastest at the moment such as energy and food makes up a large proportion of their spending.
In fact, according to Hargreaves Lansdown, a financial advice firm, the real rate of inflation affecting the elderly is at least 0.5 per cent above that for the rest of us and with a host of energy price rises about to come on stream, the lot of pensioners is likely to get worse. This makes it key to maximise the amount of income your pension pot buys in retirement.
But from 21 December, thanks to the EU, all insurers will have to ignore sex when pricing annuities despite the fact that men on average live four years fewer than women. This means that the annuities paid out to men could be cut by as much as 12 per cent, and that's a cut that will be felt month in month out for the rest of their lives – which could be as long as 35 years.
However, it has been long suspected that women's annuity rates, although they will probably rise, won't take up the slack. In effect, men will get much poorer and women will get only a little richer.
A lot of the coverage relating to the EU ruling has been on its impact on car insurance premiums. Frankly, this is minuscule in comparison to annuities and is yet another example of how we as a society live for the here and now rather than the future. But this week the likes of Prudential have already moved – in advance of 21 December – to gender neutral annuity pricing, others like Scottish Widows may move very soon.
If you are a man over 60 with a pension pot you should today look at your annuity options – speak with your financial adviser as a matter of urgency. Even leaving it a week or two maybe too late as it takes time to convert a pension pot into an annuity. Fortunately, most firms do offer to hold an annuity quote for a period of around a month but, make no mistake, the amount of money you will receive a couple of months from now will be lower.
Longer term, with the Government pushing out ultra low paying debt it's likely that annuity rates will fall further.
Of course, there is a minority of people – particularly with bigger pension pots (over £250,000) – who are better off leaving their money invested but, for the rest, failing to weigh up the options now could potentially cost thousands even tens of thousands of pounds. With the rising cost of living so high for pensioners, that's money that could be badly needed.
New scandal same old story
It may not be as dramatic or as damaging a scandal as payment protection insurance but for the umpteenth time the financial services industry has been found with its fingers in the till.
This time its largely useless identity theft and card protection insurance. Basically this was the age-old wheeze of persuading people to pay for cover that they already had. In particular, customers were told that they were covered for up to £100,000 if their card was stolen completely ignoring the fact that the card issuer was duty bound to cough up anyway.
The Financial Services Authority has fined the insurer CPP £10.5m – that's with a 30 per cent discount. Reading through the FSA declaration it's like PPI in microcosm – pushy sales techniques, misleading marketing material and plain and simple greed.
How many more of these scandals do we have to go through?
A true Celtic tiger
Regular readers (hello Mum) may have noticed my absence from the Money pages for the past three months. I have been covering economics for the paper. In particular writing about all things eurozone.
Part of the job was to keep a keen eye on the rock and roll world of bond markets and sovereign debt and how the ratings agencies grade countries. Last week, an agency Fitch upgraded Irish government debt. Five years on from the financial crisis Ireland's bonds are no longer considered junk.
It's been a painful process which is nowhere near over, but the Irish have borne it with real guts. They recognised their problems early, didn't run away from their debts nor rioted in the streets like the southern Europeans. The nation has shown it is truly tigerish.

Great Cruise vacation
Sail Date: October 15, 2016
Reviewed: 7 months ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Balcony
My sister and I just returned from 7 days Eastern Caribbean on the Oasis of the Seas. Let me just start my saying we are from south Florida and should have known better than to book a cruise for October. I honestly would steer clear of October since it is very rainy even in the Caribbean. We had 2 1/2 days of SUN out of 7 but the ship made up for that. The ship is hands down amazing. The best show on the ship is Come Fly With Me!!! Then the ice skating show and then the Oasis of Dreams show which is a spectacular water show. AMAZING! I promise you these shows will make you feel like you are watching Olympic type professionals. They did a fine job. The food was delicious every where you went. Wind Jammer was nice and had a lot of variety. My only complaint is the service in the Park café for lunch is horrible. The servers were not nice and not helpful at all. They ran out of chips and when you asked questions you got attitude. Everyone else on board greeted you with a smile and were pleasant. My one complaint with Royal is that they close the windjammer to early between lunch and dinner. They closed for lunch at 3:30pm and the only place open for a meal was the Hot Dog stand and Park café. These are complimentary places to eat unless you pay to eat somewhere else. I found that to be an inconvenience because everyone crowded in like cattle to Park café for salad, soup, and sandwiches which by the way the roast beef sandwich was superb!!! Additional advice if you are using your debit card you will have a plethora of holds on your card. Say you bought something for $20.00 they hold $60.00! it makes no sense to me, but it is a lesson learned and we will put cash on our seapass account next time. Oh and if you are going to St. Maarteen be prepared to get bombarded on the beach with woman every 1 min asking you to buy stuff. They do not care if your eyes are closed and you are relaxing, they keep asking!!! I understand that may be there source of income but if I said no politely 10x then why ask again. Royal may want to consider stopping to them as the second trip rather than the last, as many items they were selling many ppl purchased in St. Thomas ( hats, shirts, bags, etc). I do try and support every island so we ate and drank while we were there :). St Thomas is a beautiful island and our tour guide Gwenneth was the BEST and she took us around for 3 1/2 hours for $25.00 can not beat that!!! she took us everywhere to every nook and crennie on the island.

Psalm 33:18
Back in the 1960s, as a young boy, I attended a series of services at a church. It was a called a 'prophecy conference,'and I knew I was doomed. The conference focused on a certain interpretation of the last book of the Bible, The Book of Revelation, drawing especially on the teaching of a popular Dallas-based preacher named Hal Lindsey.

There are plenty campaigns that aim to shed light on important issues. Sadly, many of them have little impact because they fail to communicate their message in a captivating way.
Richard Williams, otherwise known as Prince AE, decided to rap out his message. Because when we hear a good rap song, we listen, right?
Prince AE's song "Dear Future Generations: Sorry" is an open letter of apology to the people of the future. As the rapper explains at the end of the video, he felt inspired to write the song after spending a couple of weeks in Africa, where he witnessed a brutal destruction of rainforests.
"Sarah Palin, you said you loved the smell of fossil fuels. Well, I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing who are forced to wear pollution masks just to go to school," Prince AE raps. "[...] It's up to us to take care of this planet. It's our only home. We must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls."
That's the good stuff right there.
We sure listened. So should everyone.

NASHVILLE - Tennessee's Lotto 5 game has set a new record with the current jackpot for Monday night's drawing now estimated at $730,000! The previous record of $670,823, which was sold in Morristown, was won in October of 2004.
Friday's Lotto 5 drawing produced 3,116 winners throughout the state, including 98 players who won $174 each and 3,018 players who won $9 each.
Tennessee's Powerball game on Saturday produced 26,104 winners who purchased tickets from retailers in the state, including one $500,000 winning ticket purchased in Murfreesboro. This winning ticket contained the correct five white ball numbers minus the Powerball number, which usually yields a $100,000 win. However, since this ticket was purchased with the Power Play option, the prize was multiplied by the drawn multiplier ball, which for this drawing was five. An additional 5,421 players multiplied their winnings by five by also selecting the Power Play option.
Weekend Winning Lotto 5 and Powerball Numbers:
Powerball Winning Numbers: 11-16-20-29-41 PB:12 Power Play: x5

This book has been written for three purposes. First, to provide the Orthodox reader with a competent overview of the history of Protestantism and its major traditions, from its beginnings in the 16th century to the present day. This overview relies heavily upon the Reformer's own words as well as the creeds of various Protestant faiths, in order to avoid misrepresentation and caricature. Second, to acquaint Orthodox and non-Orthodox readers with a narrative of the historical relations between the Orthodox East and the Protestant West. Finally, to provide a summary of Orthodox theological opinion on the tenets of Protestantism.
About the author: Father Josiah Trenham is a native Southern Californian. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1993, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Durham, England, in 2004. He has served as pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside, Ca. since 1998. Father Josiah is the founder and director of Patristic Nectar Publications which produces both recordings of patristic works as well as recordings of lectures and homilies available in direct download formats (www.patristicnectar.org). Father Josiah's weekly homilies and additional theological reflections are published weekly on The Arena podcast on Ancient Faith Radio: www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/thearena.

Metroid - Title Theme (Analog Synth remake)
Published on Sep 21, 2016 Luminist
"I wanted to find out what the original NES Metroid soundtrack would be like if it was remade with REAL synths, 80s style.
All sounds were generated with a Korg MS20 Mini, then processed with some juicy studio effects to make things more atmospheric.
Original composition by Hirokazu Tanaka - any credit goes to him for writing such an immersive soundtrack in the first place!!
(...Planet Zebeth.. hehe)"

I'm going to be using my bike as a daily commuter this summer , which means I need to bring my laptop with me. I have a tank bag, but I'm concerned about the vibration of the bike/movement causing early HDD failure.
I'd use a backpack, but I find them incredibly uncomfortable, and if I somehow fall odds are I'll crush the laptop in the process.
Anyone have suggestions or examples? Right now the plan is to put the laptop in a spongey sleeve to absorb the energy.

*From the Inova Transplant Center (Drs. Nathan and Burton, Ms. Nowalk, and Mr. Moran), the Inova Heart Institute (Dr. Barnett), and the Department of Radiology (Dr. Urban), Inova Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA.
Correspondence to: Steven D. Nathan, MD, FCCP, Inova Transplant Center, 3300 Gallows Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042; e-mail: email@example.com
The objectives of the study were the assessment of the incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in lung transplant recipients. We performed a retrospective review of the medical records in a tertiary center lung transplant program. A total of 72 lung transplants were performed. There were seven symptomatic PE events diagnosed among six patients (group 1). All PE events were in the subgroup of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [6 of 23 patients (27%) vs 0 among all other patients (0%); p < 0.001]. All patients were out of the hospital, not receiving oxygen therapy, and were ambulatory at the time of the event. The median time to occurrence of the PE was 175 days posttransplant (range, 26 to 541 days). All patients who developed PEs were men. The group of IPF patients with no PEs was evenly split between genders (group 2; p < 0.009). PE patients required a longer posttransplant hospitalization (mean [± SD], 18.5 ± 3.9 vs 13.5 ± 4 days, respectively; p < 0.018). Aside from this, there was no apparent difference in patient functional status between the two groups. PEs appear to be relatively common in IPF lung transplant recipients. This should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any such patient who presents with dyspnea or hypoxia posttransplant. Patients do not appear to have been predisposed to their embolic events through lack of activity or prolonged hospital stays.

O'Dell was executed by lethal injection last week as the Governor of Virginia, Richard Allen, resisted an Italian media campaign of rare passion. Never mind the seriousness of the crimes for which he was convicted: O'Dell's name is now indelibly linked in Italian minds with the campaign to end the death penalty.
Yesterday, Pope John Paul offered words of comfort to the woman O'Dell married hours before his death, the legal assistant Lori Urs. Today's ceremony will be attended by the mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, as well as Helen Prejean, the nun at the centre of the film Dead Man Walking, who stood by O'Dell in his final hours. Mr Orlando has already made O'Dell an honorary citizen of Palermo and plans to erect a monument to him.
As the body was flown to Sicily via Rome yesterday, two nagging questions still remained. Why Italy, when O'Dell was not Italian and had no obvious link with the place? And why, out of the hundreds of prisoners on death row, should O'Dell be singled out?
The explanations are many and complex. Even if the US Catholic church has remained silent on the issue, the Vatican has been campaigning energetically against the death penalty in recent months.
That, in turn, has had a profound effect on the Italian political establishment, which is still heavily influenced by the church despite the demise of the old Christian Democrat Party.
What's more, Italy - diplomatically irrelevant Italy - loves to have its voice heard in the world and remembers all too proudly how its influence brought about a stay of execution in 1989 for a teenage woman from Indiana, Paula Cooper, who had murdered her religious education teacher at the age of of 15 and was sentenced to death once she reached adulthood.
If the O'Dell case captured the public imagination, it was partly because of doubts about his guilt. He was originally convicted after choosing - unwisely - to act as his own defence counsel in court.
Subsequent DNA tests showed that blood found on his clothing did not belong to his victim, Helen Schartner. A legal battle ensued to have further DNA tests performed on O'Dell himself, but the request was ultimately turned down.
These facts did not reach Italy or the Vatican by magic, however. They became the object of a strange journalistic war between the country's various correspondents in the United States. Il Giornale first brought O'Dell to public attention. Then the Corriere della Sera blew it up into a huge scandal. Finally, the veteran correspondent for La Repubblica, Vittorio Zucconi, went into overdrive and refused to let a week go by without an interview with O'Dell's lawyers, or with O'Dell himself.
All of them wrote as though O'Dell was as innocent as a lamb, brutalised by a heartless judicial system that refused to hear his side of the story. I met one of the journalists involved a couple of weeks ago and asked him about the O'Dell case. "He's guilty, of course," he said, without blinking. So that's the answer: O'Dell was just a good story blown up to keep Italian readers on the edge of their seats for a few months. That's show business, folks.

(1) Ores of sodium : NaCl (common salt), NaNO3 (chile salt petre), Na2SO4.10H2O (Glauber's salt), borax (sodium tetraborate or sodium borate), (Na2B4O7.10H2O).
(2) Extraction of sodium : It is manufactured by the electrolysis of fused sodium chloride in the presence of CaCl2 and KF using graphite anode and iron cathode. This process is called Down process.
NaCl ? Na+ + Cl–.
At cathode : Na+ + e– → Na;
At anode : Cl– → Cl + e–; Cl + Cl → Cl2 ↑
Sodium cannot be extracted from aqueous NaCl because EoH2O/H2(–0.83V) is more than EoNa+/Na(–2.71V).
Anode and cathode are separated by means of a wire gauze to prevent the reaction between Na and Cl2.

All the best, kailoon
Your reviewer was kailoon.
The text shadow wonky effect is interesting, but not very appealing. It makes it hard to read especially.
The yellow calendar, I think the darker shades of the gradients could have a tiny bit of red in them, rather than the muddy look you get with yellow when you add black.
They are alright. Not "WOW", but alright.
Problem is that value-for-money wise you could of got away with just one of those and explained how to change the colour (though that is unlikely to be approved). The other problem is there are many details that have been neglected and rushed: shadows are off completely and the little rings holding the bottom part don't make sense against a real world example (should be 50/50 so that the old date can be folded).
A lot more time, effort and attention to detail is needed here but don't give up. You have the skill just need to spend more time! Good luck.

Red Sox sign pitching ace Price to seven-year deal
(Reuters) - The Boston Red Sox officially confirmed on Friday that they have agreed to a seven-year contract with left-handed pitcher David Price, one of the top starting pitchers available in the free agent market.
Though financial details were not disclosed, The Boston Globe had reported on Tuesday that the deal was worth a record $217 million, narrowly topping Clayton Kershaw's $215 million extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014.
Red Sox president of baseball operations David Dombrowski said in a statement that Price's contract has been inked in through the 2022 season, with an opt-out clause after the 2018 season.
Price, a five-time All-Star, went 18-5 with a 2.45 earned run average in 32 starts for the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays last season.
The 30-year-old, who won the Cy Young Award winner as the top pitcher in the American League in 2012 with the Tampa Bay Rays, is 104-56 with a 3.09 ERA over eight seasons.
Price was considered the top pitching target this offseason along with Zack Greinke, who spent last season with the Dodgers.
However, it has been a hectic couple of seasons for the hard-throwing lefty.
Price was dealt by Tampa Bay to the Tigers at the 2014 trade deadline and spent one calendar year with Detroit, going 13-8 with a 2.90 ERA before the club fell out of contention and sent him to Toronto for three prospects at last season's deadline.
He went on to play a big role in propelling the Blue Jays to their first playoff berth since 1993. Price was 9-1 with a 2.30 ERA in 11 starts as Toronto charged to the American League East title. Continued...

You can't judge a large system such as the VA by incidents at one facility, horrendous as these mistakes were.
