Heavy Rain could very well have soaked the Xbox 360 to its circuits, but Microsoft decided to pass on the project due to its child abduction plotline. Speaking as part of a BAFTA event in London overnight, Quantic Dream's founder David Cage explained that the French studio actually pitched the project to the Redmond-based manufacturer at the same time as Sony.
"We were pitching Heavy Rain to different publishers, including Sony, and we went to Microsoft," he said. "We had a very long talk and they loved Fahrenheit, and they really wanted to do something with us. They got scared by the fact that Heavy Rain was about kids being kidnapped, and they said, 'This is an issue, we want to change it.'"
The Xbox maker's resistance to the original premise prompted the Parisian company to sever ties with the platform holder. "For me, that was a very interesting signal," he explained. "It was like, I don't think that we can work together, because you don't understand what I'm trying to achieve here. They were scared of the scandal and scared of what people may write and what people may think."
The game eventually went on to become one of the most popular PlayStation 3 exclusives. "Sony understood the upside of what we were doing," he continued. "We could understand each other, and this is how Heavy Rain happened." The relationship hasn't soured either, with Beyond: Two Souls and an unannounced PlayStation 4 title in the pipeline.

The Cabinet Office has unveiled a list of suppliers that have been selected to participate in an extensive £904 million pan-government framework, the details of which have prompted concern amongst analysts.
The framework was announced in November last year and is divided up into the following four lots, with the following suppliers selected to provide the services:
Lot 1 - Limited range of standard specification devices and services (worth up to £190 million). This lot will solely be provided by Xerox.
Lot 2 - Full catalogue offering of multifunctional devices and services (worth up to £570 million). Suppliers selected for this lot include Canon, Konica Minolta, Xerox and XMA.
Lot 3 - Managed print services (worth up to £140 million). To be provided by Canon, HP, Konica Minolta and Xerox.
Lot 4 - Print Audit Services (£4 million). This lot includes Altodigital Networks, Apogee, Bramble CC, The Danwood Group, DTP Group, EKM4, M2, Mike Wood Consultancy, Newfield IT, PUROSolutions, Ricoh, Team Logic, Toshiba Tec UK Imaging and Wyse Solutions.
The framework will be available to a wide variety of public sector bodies to purchase goods and services, which include central government departments, NHS bodies, educational establishments, the third sector and local authorities.
However, TechMarketView directors Georgina O'Toole and John O'Brien both believe that the framework is not clear in its description and creates confusion for suppliers.
"The framework raises more questions than it answers. Looking at the contract notice, there are different lots with different values attached, but how much goes through the framework will be dependent on the demand for the services," O'Toole and O'Brien commented.
"There is no mention either of where the funding for new equipment and services is coming from."
They added: "We are seeing more of these frameworks with big numbers attached but no definite commitment to spend through them. This means there will be a level uncertainty from the supplier as to how much it can reasonably expect to achieve.
"There is also the potential for confusion on the client-side as departments and agencies struggle to understand the most appropriate procurement channel to use."
Both analysts also argued that by only signing Xerox to Lot 1 limits the government's opportunity to increase competition and improve services.
"It is always concerning when only one supplier is selected for a given lot. Departments are expected to use this framework, but where is the competitive element?" they said.
"There is also the question of how this framework fits in, when central government only recently signed a centralised print services deal with Williams Lea, which replaces 140 separate print services contracts."

7 Tips to seduce Durable for men Naturally
Although a little causing a dilemma for women, but the Doggy style is still one of sex positions that "many couples. Doggy style allows the male penetrate and make women prone to orgasm.
However if you are a couple who are bored try doggy style classic, there is no harm in trying slight variations on sex positions. Sex positions you can try is the ' Downward Dog '. This position is one of the variations of the classic doggy style position, as offered by Health Site (26/08).
To do this, position the woman lying face-down. If in doggy style, women resting on the knee, on the position of these women need not resting completely on the knee. The knees need only lifted a little with the help of a pillow that is placed on the abdomen.
The pillows will help lift a woman's body so as to provide proper access on the hips and miss V. The next men penetrate through the back. Just as the doggy style position, this will make it easier for the guy doing the penetration. However, preferably at the beginning of the man do not penetration too in advance.
The advantages of this position is a variation that makes a different sensation when the penetration and cannot make a pair of bored. This position also allows the penis touches the woman's G-spot and make a women orgasm more easily. When the woman lifting her knee, men also have the space to do the stimulus against the clitoris with your hands. This position is also more comfortable for women if done while pregnant, because women do not have to be burdened by the weight in his stomach.
However, there are some flaws in this position. This position will reduce the intimacy of couples because there is no eye contact. In addition, many women feel uncomfortable when men do penetration from behind, because they are not confident with their bodies. This position also allows the penetration feels painful if the position of the hips and miss V.
How, interested try this position?
Sex Tips : Bored with doggy style? Try this position!
If you and your partner oral sex fans, never miss the 69 position. 69 position is carried out by one of the couple's position upside down and perform oral sex simultaneously. This can be done by men over women or above.
Some couples also love to do it with a sideways because it is more convenient. Although the 69 position is already very popular, but doing so is not as easy as it looks. 69 position takes time to master and requires a good coordination so that couples feel comfortable and get maximum satisfaction.
If you are interested in doing the 69 sex position, consider the several sides of the pros and cons of this position, as offered by women's Health Mag .
The pro side of the 69 position
-Though difficult and mastered, 69 can be the most effective way to enhance the coordination on the couple and makes couples better understand each other's desires. This position is also applicable to back heats up the sexual intercourse. When You start boring sex life, 69 position would make him back passionately and challenging.
-This position saves time because you do not need to perform oral sex in turn.
-There are no unwanted pregnancy because this position only involved oral sex without penetration.
-Risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases becomes lower because there is no penetration. But oral sex can also trigger diseases such as herpes or diseases of the throat. You have to really know your partner and know his sexual history to keep it secure.
The side of the counter position 69
-Not everyone likes oral sex, so too with position 69. Doing oral sex simultaneously can also make one partner having an orgasm first before his partner and this can damage situations. However, if done well and couples can orgasm together, could perceived satisfaction so double!
Couples need to have weight and height accordingly. Because the position 69 is one of the pair is upside down, then sometimes the height could be decisive, so also with the weight. Often one partner is feeling ' choke ' or uncomfortable when doing this position due to the weight or height that is not balanced.
69-position almost similar to wine. Some people are very menggandrunginya, while others are mediocre. So it goes without forced if the couple does not like the 69 position because it is not comfortable or confident.
That's some side of the pros and cons of 69 position. Indeed elaborate and hard to do. Many couples who take very long to master the position on this one, because it must be the existence of balance and good coordination on the couple. But if you managed to do it with a partner, 69 position could provide a double satisfaction and revive your sex life boring
69 sex position tips, very elaborate but satisfying!
- Tell Him What Turns You On
Research suggests that better communication is key to better sex, and no, we don't necessarily mean dirty talk. Communicating what you like and don't like can be instructional and informative as you get to know each other's bodies. If he's doing something you like, say so rather than relying on ambiguous gestures or noises. And if it's something you're not into, communicate that or guide him in a new direction. Want to try a different angle? Suggest one. If simultaneous orgasm is your goal and you're close to climaxing, don't be mum about it.
- Don't Underestimate the Power of Praise
In a 2016 study published in the Journal of Sex Research, researchers analyzed answers from 39,000 heterosexual couples that were married or cohabiting for over three years. Sexual satisfaction reported to be higher among the couples who revealed that they gave each other positive affirmation during sex and were open enough about embarrassing moments during sex to joke about them and move on. Dr. Jaffrey notes that this lighthearted approach to sex is key, saying, "Don't take life too seriously. Happy couples laugh together."
"If he's doing something you like, say so rather than relying on ambiguous gestures or noises."
- Keep Things Spontaneous
Even great sex can start to feel monotonous over time if it's more or less the same old routine. To mix things up, Marie Claire's guy expert Lodro Rinzler suggests that "if you're in bed with someone and have a sense of something new you or your partner might enjoy, be it some teasing, a change in position, anything…go for it. Men love it when women are spontaneous and confident in their ability in bed."
- Think of Foreplay as a Long-Term Act
Jaffrey notes that setting the mood for sex is vital, for women especially, and that foreplay should start long before sex even begins: "I am talking here about the mental foreplay that happens days in advance, not the one that you have just before sex. Make sure to be attentive to your partner. Small gestures and nice comments are significant to setting the right mood for sex." She also suggests keeping up communication during the day through texts or emails.
- Exercise and Don't Skimp on the D (the *Vitamin* D)
If anyone doubted the power of exercise, there's a good chance the Class Pass subscription you passed up this year is affecting your sex drive. "Exercise improves circulation in the body, and that includes the blood flow to your genital area, consequently increasing the desire and lifting your mood". We're sure those endorphins don't hurt.
And as for those of us city dwellers lacking in vitamin D? "Even during the summer, we don't get enough vitamin D because we're scared of the UV rays causing us skin cancer and premature aging," says Dr. Jaffrey. "Though too much sun can be damaging to the skin, Vitamin D is essential for estrogen production in women and testosterone production in men. It boosts your libido so if you feel friskier during the summer, this is the reason." Our pressing spring fever questions answered? We think yes.
- Go for Morning Sex or Afternoon Delight
Dr. Jaffrey notes in her new book that a major reason for mismatched desire between couples is the way men and women handle stress during the week. Men, she says, see sex as a stress reliever while women want to have sex after they've had time to unwind. As a result, women tend to go to bed exhausted, their minds focused on preparing for the next day.
Her solution? "A better alternative is to have sex in the morning. Set the alarm 30 minutes before your usual time and see what happens. Men's testosterone levels peak in the morning so you might be pleasantly surprised...Another alternative would be to have afternoon sex on weekends. Interestingly enough, women tend to ovulate in the afternoon, meaning that the optimal hormone level for female sexual desire happens at that time."
- Expand Your Vocabulary
The power of sexy banter in the bedroom gets underplayed, but it can be a serious mood-enhancer when you're trying to liven things up together. Going about that, however, isn't the easiest for people who aren't used to actually vocalizing 50 Shades-esque fantasies. "What my [clients] benefit the most from is when they go to a bookstore or they go online and they find an erotic book," says Rapini. She suggests that couples read from erotic books together, especially if they want to work on developing a "dirty talk" vocabulary that gives them the language cues without feeling self-conscious.Reading off scripts, she says, never works as well as if couples find a book they really like together and can build off of that jargon.
- Experiment with Toys and Props
One way that Rapini counsels long-term couples on how to explore the unknown to enhance their sexual experience is to try shopping for products and toys together. That could mean anything from couples' vibrators (she recommends the remote-controlled Fiera) to massage oils to body paint to blindfolds, though Rapini says another way to set the scene is to try adding music as sexy background noise. "Make massage part of your routine and start touching each other. Many couples will start feeling their libido rise after they do that," she says.
- Do Chores Together
Sure, as trivial as it sounds, doing housework together not only makes you better roommates that are less likely to blow up over a stack of dishes, but also helps couples have more satisfying sex. According to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, sharing household duties encourages an "eroticism of fairness," in which there's a turn on from both genders sharing roles that are traditionally relegated to women exclusively. Scientific proof that partners who want to share cooking and cleaning duties are sexier in the bedroom? Say no more.
- Focus on Quality Rather Than Quantity
There isn't really one golden rule, but a recent study suggested that more sex doesn't mean better sex and that the happiest couples have sex only once a week. So if you're anxious about you and your partner not screwing like rabbits, there's proof that the more energy you put into making regular weekly sex *better* will pay off in the long run.
10 Tips for a Better Orgasm
YOU DON'T NEED a special occasion to go all-out in the bedroom. It may seem more romantic to light her fire after a wedding or a party, but odds are one of you will be too drunk to have a good quality romp. Make sex exciting all the time by breaking out of the cookie-cutter positions and listening to your girl. Do you know what she really wants between the sheets? She's definitely fantasized about it before—you just need to tease it out of her.
The key to unleashing her greatest orgasm ever may require a lot of bells and whistles (à la 50 Shades of Grey) or it may be simpler than you think. We asked real women for their favorite forms of foreplay, sex, and more—so you can end the night with a grand finale, not a flop.
- Get in the (erogenous) zone
"Never underestimate the power of a few well-placed kisses. It drives me crazy when my boyfriend starts kissing the nape of my neck and gently nibbling on my ear lobe—I get tingles all the way down to clitoris. After a few minutes I'm literally begging him to just put it in."
—Tess, 27
- Talk dirty
"You don't have to save all the naughty stuff for the bedroom. If you're out at a fancy dinner, tell your girl how badly you want her across the table. If you're at a bar, put your hand on her ass and tell her the things you'll do to her when you get home. Telling women how desirable they are will give them the confidence to act out all your dirty fantasies later."
—Marianna, 31
- Be a boob man
"It drives me insane when my boyfriend takes the time to pay attention to my boobs. I don't just mean grabbing, I mean kissing and licking until my nipples are hard and then giving them little bites. By that time I'm usually so wet that just a little fingering will make me cum—and the times he's bitten down while his hand is down there I've had the most mind-blowing orgasms ever."
—Laine, 27
- Touch yourself
"I know it may sound strange, but watching my boyfriend get himself off is such a turn on. I'll start by lying down naked next him, my body against his, and play with his member until he gets hard. Then I put his hand down there and just rub my body against him and watch. I think it makes me so hot 'cause it's kind of taboo, something he would do in private, but I also like actually seeing how much I turn him on."
—Leslie, 25
- Let her take charge
When my fiancé and I are doing it missionary I usually feel as if I'm on the brink of coming and it makes me go totally wild. I'll push him back so I can get on top, place my arms on his to hold them down, and just ride him hard until I cum—and keeping eye contact the whole time makes it extra intense. So my note to guys is, there's nothing wrong with lying back and just enjoying the view."
—Brooke, 24
- Get wet
"Everyone talks about shower sex, but on nights when it's cold out or on a lazy Sunday draw a bath and get in together. Since you're both in the water you don't have to worry about the water flying in your face or one of you getting cold. Adding bubbles is a nice touch, too. Since some of your body is hidden, it helps with loosening inhibitions."
—Julie, 29
- Women like porn, too
"It doesn't happen often, but every now and then when my husband and I are feeling especially frisky we'll put some porn on. We'll take turn getting on our knees and going down on each other while the other sits on the couch and the finish by going at it doggy style."
—Nikola, 30
- Doggy style 2.0
"My favorite sex position is when I lie down on the bed and a guy takes me from behind. Keeping a steady rhythm and grabbing my ass real tight will usually end with us coming at the same time and pretty quickly—it's that good."
—Frieda, 23
- Find the spot
"If a guy is going down on me I love when they take time to kind of 'explore' what's going down there instead of just incessantly rubbing or poking. Gently licking my clit and then slowly rubbing it until I orgasm is just so intense, and it makes me feel like my partner cares about making me get off."
—Chloe, 26
- Dirty spooning
"I love waking up after a good night's rest with my boyfriend spooning—and being able to feel how hard he is. Instead of just acting like neither of us notices, I love when he gently grabs my thigh and starts touching me down there. When he puts it in, the nice, tight fit from that angle makes it feel incredible for both us."
—Yana, 25
- Set her fantasies in motion
"There have been a few times during sex where I've admitted to my boyfriend that I want him to tie my hands up one night and just take me. I'm a little too shy to actually instigate it, though, like to actually buy handcuffs or rope ahead of time. Then one night as we were about to get it on my boyfriend reached in the bedside table and told me he had a surprise for me—and brought out two silk scarves to tie my hands with. The fact that he got my fantasy ready-to-go was as amazing as the experience actually felt."
—Katie, 28
What women wish men knew about getting them off?
Stop the guesswork. Listen to what real women want.
- Don't get comfortable
"Some of the hottest sex my husband and I have is right when we get home from work. There's something incredibly hot about him propping me up on his lap on the couch while we're both still in our work clothes. So I'd tell guys not to bother with the undressing. Just pull your girl's stockings down, unzip your pants and do it. Getting dirty while you're still in that office—mind frame and outfit kind of makes you feel like you're in your own porn movie."
—Paulina, 32
- Open the toy chest
"I love a man who isn't intimidated by sex toys. If you know your girl has some, ask her to bring them out and let you be the one to pleasure her with them. For me, since I usually use my vibrator alone and on myself, it feels like I'm letting a guy in on naughty little secret when I let him be the one to tease me with it. And of course, nothing actually feels better than the last minute of substituting the toy for the real thing."
—Adri, 24
- 69 redux
"I feel like the 69 position gets called out a lot for be 'outdated,' (and it definitely isn't!), but why not switch it up a bit? I love when a guy straddles me so that his member is right against my mouth and I can give him a blowjob from that angle or stick out my tongue and have him tap his stuff against it…it really is a turn on for both us."
—Jenna, 29
- Brave the elements
"Everyone talks about taking sex al fresco in the summer, but it's actually so hot and sticky then and do you want to spend half the time batting away mosquitos? I much prefer going on an autumn hike, working up a little sweat, and then having a quickie out in the elements. The feel of cold air against your skin is honestly exhilarating—and even more spontaneous than just getting it on at the beach after dark."
—Demi, 26

Adam Lambert at 2012 Movie Premiere
by luv2laugh on Nov.05, 2009, under All About Adam, Interviews
Adam Lambert attended the 2012 Premiere for Sony's end of the world Sci-Fi disaster film, which was appropriately held on the black carpet. Adam looked spectacular in his ultra fabulous studded jacket.
When Adam Lambert interviewed with MTV he said, "I really feel honored that they came to me and asked me. I think it's obviously a risk on their part because this was before any sort of album had been completed or hardly even started. So for them to ask me, it shows faith. It really made me feel good and gave me a lot of confidence."
Adam Lambert told ET, "You know it feels really amazing. I've never been part of a feature film before, the soundtrack I think is going to be wonderful. I'm really kind of apprehensive about hearing my song at the end of the movie. It's going to be pretty surreal."
ET Interviews Adam Lambert at 2012 Premiere
In this clip from maximotv.com, Adam Lambert talks about Sony asking him to sing "Time For Miracles" for 2012, what he would do if he knew the world were ending tomorrow, and where he plans to be on December 21, 2012.
Adam Lambert Interview at '2012′ Premiere 11-3-09
From the New York Post
How Hollywood dresses for a disaster
As for Adam, this studded ja-a-a-a-a-a-acket was eye-catching, even by his platform bootie standards. But I loved it — as I do everything he wears, does, says, sings, applies

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister from Georgia who led the non-violent civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
Brief Biography
Born on January 15, 1929, the son and grandson of Baptist ministers, Dr. King decided to become a minister himself, and to devote his ministry to gaining freedom and respect for African Americans.
As a teenager and young adult, Dr. King studied the ideas of some of the world's most powerful thinkers, on the subjects of good and evil and the nature of the human spirit. He was inspired by the example of Mahatma Gandhi's civil disobedience in India and became committed to the philosophy of non-violence.
In 1954, less than a year after his June 18, 1953 marriage to Coretta Scott, Dr. King agreed to become the minister of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. His leadership in the African American community was quickly recognized, and in 1955 he was chosen to lead and organize the Montgomery bus boycott. Also in 1955, Dr. King graduated from Boston University with a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology.
The Montgomery bus boycott made Dr. King nationally famous. He and other southern church-based civil rights activists formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The purpose of this organization was to support and organize civil rights activism throughout the South. A gifted orator, Dr. King traveled continually to speak at civil rights meetings, eventually resigning his ministry at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church to become a full-time civil rights proponent.
Dr. King personified the American civil rights movement. His carefully planned campaigns exposed and publicized the hidden violence that maintained racist practices. In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as well as being named by Time Magazine as "Man of the Year."
Dr. King evoked strong emotions in people. He insisted on following his conscience regardless of any negative consequences that he had to endure. His stand against the Vietnam War earned him criticism even from within the civil rights movement.
Dr. King was shot and killed by James Earl Ray in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. Riots immediately erupted throughout the country. President Johnson declared a day of national mourning on April 7, 1968. Dr. King's funeral was held at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia on April 9, 1968.
The first United States Postal Service (USPS) commemorative stamp to honor Dr. King was issued on January 13, 1979. In 1999, the USPS issued another stamp commemorating Dr. King, his I Have a Dream speech, and the 1963 march on Washington., DC.
In 1986, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was first celebrated as a federal legal holiday. The third Monday of January was chosen to honor the birthday of Dr. King for this holiday each year. The holiday honors not only Dr. King but the words which he spoke and lived:
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality . . . I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."

Oscar winners had some interesting words to offer on their big wins Sunday evening.
Network censors bleeped Melissa Leo for dropping the F-word during her speech. Backstage, she jokingly conceded it was "probably a very inappropriate place to use that particular word."
"Those words, I apologize to anyone that they offend. There is a great deal of the English language that is in my vernacular," Leo said.
Christian Bale joked that he was keeping his language clean.
"Melissa, I'm not going to drop the F-bomb like she did," Bale said. "I've done that plenty of times before."
Best-picture winner "The King's Speech," a tale of Britain's stammering King George VI that led the contenders with 12 nominations, won four of the prizes for which it was competing, including best original screenplay for writer David Seidler.
The win capped a lifelong dream for Seidler, a boyhood stutterer born in London in 1937, a year after George took the throne. Seidler, who overcame his own stutter at age 16, had long vowed to one day write about the monarch whose fortitude set an example for him in childhood.
Seidler thanked Queen Elizabeth II, the daughter of King George, "For not putting me in the Tower of London for using the Melissa Leo F-word." The film includes two scenes where the king spouts profanities in anger to help force out his syllables.
Hockey Honeys?
New-couple alert? Country cutie Taylor Swift was sighted at a hockey game in Los Angeles on Thursday with "Glee" star Chord Overstreet. The Nashville, Tenn., residents "looked pretty good together," an onlooker told Us magazine.
"They've met a few times," a source close to the up-and-coming singer-actor said. His brother wrote a song the "Speak Now" singer performed with T-Pain a couple years back.
On Saturday, the pair were reportedly seen together at a party at the Soho House, then went to a Chateau Marmont bash.
"Chord's a ladies' man," the source said, adding, "Chord is into her. He will definitely pursue this."
And just think of all the ways Taylor could work the name "Chord" into song lyrics!
No Reunion
Kate Gosselin's camp is denying the rumor that she and ex-husband Jon might be reuniting.
For the mom of eight, whose marriage famously fell apart over the course of their TLC reality TV show, "there is absolutely no chance of a reconciliation," a source told People magazine.
"They remain civil for the sake of the kids, but that's it," the source said. "It's frustrating for Kate that people keep making up stories. They have both moved on."
While Jon, who reinvented himself as a ladies' man after the divorce, has dated a series of women, his ex-wife has focused on their kids — and her TV career — though she recently told George Lopez she has "been on a few little dates here and there."
"Kate wants nothing more than to be seen in a completely different light than Jon is viewed," the insider said. "Obviously he is the father of her children and that won't change, but she is feeling very happy about her decisions and situation."
So there.

The 3,700 students living in University of Rochester residence halls will gain free access to Napster's popular Premium music service later this semester, in the first digital music agreement betweenNapster, a division of Roxio, and a private university. In addition, Napster and the University's prestigious Eastman School of Music will be developing ways in which Napster can begin to provideoriginal content from Eastman students and faculty to service members across the entire Napster network.
The monthly fees for the Premium Service will be funded by the University, not by individual students, through the 2005 spring semester, at which point the service will be evaluated and permanent funding arrangements within the University will be determined.
"Digital distribution of entertainment media is definitely the wave of the future," said University Provost Charles E. Phelps. "I am very proud that the University of Rochester will be at the forefront of this emerging trend by offering students easy access to a high quality, legitimate music service."e; Phelps chairs a Task Force on Technology for the national Joint Committee on Peer-to-Peer File Sharing, made up of educational leaders and representatives of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
"The Eastman School has always been in the business of defining the future of music in the United States," said James Undercofler, dean and director of the Eastman School. "We're eager to launch this promising venture to make the largest catalog of music available through this innovative service."
"This deal between Napster and the University of Rochester demonstrates the momentum behind our initiative to put the world of legitimate digital music in the hands of college students-the nation's most demanding music consumers," said Larry Linietsky, Napster's senior vice president of business development. "This relationship is especially exciting because it not only gives University of Rochester students easy access to Napster, it will eventually also give Napster's other members access to works by students and faculty of Eastman, some of the nation's most promising music content contributors."
Napster's Premium Service will allow Rochester students to stream and locally download an unlimited amount of music from Napster's digital library of over 500,000 tracks, the largest catalog available online. Students will also get access to over 50 fully interactive radio stations, videos on demand, decades of Billboard charts, a powerful recommendation engine, an online magazine (Fuzz) and additional community features like the ability to peer into other members' collections and send tracks to friends. Permanent downloads-to burn to CDs or transfer to any of 60 portable music devices-can be purchased for 99 cents each or $9.95 for an album.
Beginning later this semester, the service will be available to the 3,700 students who live in residence halls at the University's River Campus and Eastman School of Music. The University will explore opportunities to extend the Premium Service to all students in the fall of 2004, and, additionally, to offer the service at a discounted rate to faculty and staff.
"We intend to mount a vigorous effort to educate members of the University community about their personal responsibilities to observe copyright regulations," Phelps added. "The digital world-and our own institution's role as the creator of 'intellectual property'-demand that we respect the principles of ethical use for digital data and products." In fact, the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering is now exploring the establishment of an undergraduate course in which students study digital copyright issues and then promote an understanding of those issues among their fellow students.
"Based on the success and popularity of Napster's groundbreaking program with Pennsylvania State University, a public institution, many schools have since sought to institute similar programs with us," said Linietsky. "We are thrilled that the University of Rochester will become our first private school partner and we look forward to a successful roll-out with them as well other institutions down the road."

2017 Jeep Cherokee
New 2017 Jeep Cherokee at Bossier Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM for Hillsboro, TX
The sporty Jeep Cherokee lets inside five passengers and keeps on bringing the features for 2017, like high-intensity discharge headlamps as standard on premium trims, and double (available) Overland Packages coming in late-season. The Trailhawk model has front Nappa-leather heated seats, a remote start system, a universal garage door opener, a power liftgate, Keyless Enter 'n Go, a premium heated steering wheel, a power 8-way driver seat, and a bunch more to explore. On the Overland trim, a Zebrano steering wheel with high-gloss and a wood-trim appears inside as a new addition this year, plus, that trim also has individualized floor mats and a standard Alpine music deck.
Under the Cherokee's Hood
It can be purchased in either a front-wheel or 4-wheel drive, and you get to choose what's best for you, depending on your needs and uses. That's true except for the Trailhawk trim, which is set at 4WD-only, primarily because that's what it's made for! A 2.4-liter four-cylinder TigerShark engine with MultiAir2 is strong at 184 horsepower and attains 171 pound-feet of torque, and is the standard engine. A standard 9-speed automatic is placed into the Cherokee. The other available engine to consider, for the bulk of the trim choices, is a Pentastar 3.2-liter V6 with VVT that wows with 271-horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. A front-wheel drive Cherokee with the 2.4-liter engine gets rated by the EPA at 25 mpg combined (21 city/30 highway).
Design of Jeep Cherokee
Putting a spotlight on around the primary trims drivers will find the Overland, Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and the Limited trims. There are 3 variation trims of the 2017 Jeep Cherokee to also consider: the 75th Anniversary Edition, Altitude, and the High Altitude. The Limited trim sees standard 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and ignition functions, and a rearview auto-dimming mirror. The Trailhawk has quite a lot of features too, like hill ascent and descent control, an expansive driver info display with color graphics, skid plates, all-terrain tires, a locking rear differential, tow hooks, increased ground clearance, wider 17-inch wheels, satellite radio and 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen interface. The Sport trim has remote keyless entry, Bluetooth, an auxiliary input, 17-inch steel wheels, sliding and reclining rear seats with 60/40-split folding seatbacks, an SD card reader, and then some. The Latitude puts in LED interior lighting, a rearview camera, light alloy wheels, automatic xenon headlights, fog-lights, roof rails, and a 115-volt outlet. The Overland model presents itself with a 9-speaker music system (incorporated subwoofer), a passenger seat that is power-adjustable (with 4-way power lumbar), sound-deadening tech on the acoustic windshield and the front windows, and a power lift gate. The V6 towing package achieves a 4,500-pound towing capacity, perfect for that small boat or jet-ski trailer.
What are your specials you have going this month?
We always have specials going on, but to get the most accurate answer Click here for Service Specials information.
What's the top highway mileage for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee?
Jeep states that it gets up to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway, on 3.2-liter V-6-powered Cherokee models with the standard engine stop-start technology!
Can I take a look at your used inventory online?
Absolutely, check that out here.
The Cherokee comes standard with antilock disc brakes and stability/traction control. All Jeep Cherokees in 2017 have ten airbag types as standard: advanced multistage front, supplemental side curtain front/rear, driver/passenger inflatable knee bolster, driver and front-passenger, supplemental front-seat side, and supplemental rear-seat side airbags. 2017 Jeep Cherokee models that have the optional 8.4-inch touch screen inside can gain the services of the Uconnect Access system. This system has stolen vehicle assistance, emergency on-demand roadside assistance, automatic impending crash notification and remote door unlock assistance. A rearview camera comes standard on all trims (available on the Sport trim), which is useful for observing potential risks that are otherwise unseen. The two Latitude trims can have the 'Safety/Convenience Group' package, which has a power 8-way driver seat, power multi-function foldaway mirrors, an Alpine speaker system, ParkSense rear park assist, and both Blindspot and Rear Cross Path detection. The Overland, Trailhawk, and Limited models gain access to the 'Technology Group' package as an option, that has auto high beams, a lane departure warning system, a forward collision warning/mitigation system, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and an automated parking system. In government crash tests, the 2017 lineup of Cherokee trims attained an overall rating of 4 out of 5 potential stars, with 5 stars for total side-impact protection and 4 stars for total front-impact protection. The IIHS proclaimed that the 2017 Cherokee received a score of 'Superior' for its available forward collision mitigation system.

When all else fails in the dark days of winter and I can't get outside to paint I turn my eyes inward to the everyday objects around me, the things we miss in our rush to get outside and paint the bigger picture! Whenever I turn my attention this way I tell myself I should do more of these simple subjects with their interesting shapes, reflections and surfaces but it rarely happens. Part of the problem I think is noticing their existence, we become so used to seeing them we fail to register their visual appeal. The top watercolour was done as a demonstration after a failed attempt to get outside with a group of students. The two lower images were painted in my sketchbook at a chateau in the south of
when the weather turned bad and the lower watercolour of a kitchen surface with
all its interesting reflections was done in my home. France

It seems as though the Madden family of sportscasters is growing. Joining commentators John Madden and Al Michaels in Madden NFL 2005 is Jill Arrington, a sideline reporter for ESPN's 'College Football Thursday.' Sports fans can also catch Arrington as a feature reporter on 'College Gameday' and 'Sportscenter.' According to a recent press release, she spent two full-days trapped within a recording booth spouting off dialogue for the game.
Arrington's not the only one joining Madden NFL 2005. Tony Bruno, radio host for Fox Sports News, will join the Madden series as the host of EA SPORTS Radio in Madden 2005's new Storyline Central, which is in the game's franchise mode. Like Arrington, Bruno also found himself trapped within a recording studio. He spent 30 hours recording dialogue for the game.
Stay tuned for the latest on Madden NFL 2005.

The Portage County Land Reutilization Corp., just a few months old, is growing up quickly. It now has a funding source and a list of properties that could be eligible for demolition this summer.
The land bank was born out of an Ohio Attorney General grant program to help communities demolish abandoned and blighted buildings. Portage is eligible for $500,000 in a no-strings grant and another $312,000 that needs a dollar-for-dollar local match.
Portage County commissioners gave the land bank a financial boost by agreeing to allocate 5 percent of funds in the county treasurer's delinquent tax and assessment collection fund (DTAC) to the new group. The first payment totaled $264,538.45.
Portage County Treasurer Vicki Kline said at a recent board meeting the funding gives the land bank a source for the local match money needed for the grant and a continuing source of funds once the state grant is used up. DTAC funds are shared with local governments, with school districts the primary recipients. Kline said she met with school superintendents to let them know what the land bank's intentions are.
"It was so important for me to get them on board," Kline said. She said she asked them to look at giving up part of the DTAC money as an investment. "The idea is to get the property back on the tax rolls," she said. Getting that agreement was made easy because Kline's office is aggressively collecting delinquent taxes that are owed, and working with property owners who are having a hard time, she said.
The DTAC funds mean the land bank will have money for the local match necessary under the attorney general's program and for future demolition work.
Kline, who chairs the land bank board, said the group is progressing nicely toward its goals.
The land bank is still very young as organizations go. It is working on its policies and procedures to acquire and dispose of properties while it tries to make the most of the state grant program.
Bridget Susel, director of Community Development for Kent, said the board still has to adopt its policies on what properties the land bank will acquire. The land bank can acquire properties by donation, foreclosure and forfeiture, Kline said.
The aim is to use up the state grant for residential demolition to eliminate as much blight in the community as possible and then get the property back on the tax rolls.
"I can't stress enough, I don't want us to become a landlord," and be responsible for continuing, expensive maintenance of properties, Kline said.
The land bank has more than 20 properties listed for demolition, mostly from townships. Windham Mayor Rob Donham said his village has 17 properties it would like to see demolished. Now that the land bank has an earmarked source of funds, it can handle more. But some townships have not submitted any properties for potential demolition.
"Townships that haven't submitted properties need to get on the ball," Kline said. "All of them are fully aware of the program and what needs to be done. It's up to them to take advantage or not."
When the state grant program was announced, townships were interested but didn't have the money for the required local match.
"They'll be comfortable knowing we've got money to work with" and knowing they won't be stuck with the costs, said Dan Derreberry, an Atwater trustee, and land bank director. As word of the land bank grows, trustees are getting calls about potential properties "and they are going out and looking. We encourage that. Who knows the township better than (trustees)?" Kline said.

The Who rocker Pete Townshend was so distraught when he was branded a "paedophile" following his 2003 arrest he contemplated suicide.
The star was investigated by police after he used a credit card to access a website that allegedly advertised child pornography.
Townshend decided not to fight the charges against him and accepted a police caution, although he is adamant he only searched the site as part of research into the horrors of the child porn industry.
He has now written about the turbulent time following his arrest in his new book, Who I Am, revealing he sank so low, he considered taking his own life.
Townshend writes, "If I had a gun I would have shot myself. It really did feel like a lynching."
In an interview with Britain's The Times newspaper, he says, "What I did was insane… (I didn't speak out to defend myself) because there was no sense of 'the truth will out'. I've had the misfortune to read online comments where I'm judged as a paedophile because I've got a big nose."
He also reveals he wanted to help victims of child porn because of his own experiences, adding, "It's White Knight Syndrome. You want to be the one that's seen to be helping…. I had experienced something creepy as a child, so you imagine, what if I was a girl of nine or 10 and my uncle had raped me every week? I felt I had an understanding, and I could help."

In June of 1979 President Jimmy Carter settled an argument which had been raging for months inside the Pentagon.
There was agreement over in the big building on the south side of the Potomac that there should be a new land-based nuclear weapons system to update the American nuclear deterrent. It would be called MX. It would supposedly be able, by using the most modern and most accurate guidance system then becoming available, to deliver several warheads to almost any point on the Earth's surface within about an eighth of a mile of any given target.
But there was hard disagreement on the size of the new MX.
Some favored a model 85 inches in diameter which could have multiple uses. At that diameter it could fit into the Navy's new Trident submarines. It could be lifted by any large aircraft and fired from the air. It could be mounted on a truck or railway flat car and trundled at will around highways and railways. It would be mobile.
Because it would be mobile it would conform with the limitations of SALT II which prohibited any new fixed, land-based system. That limitation was written into the SALT treaty on United States insistence to prevent the Soviets from setting up a new land system with bigger missiles.
Because it would be mobile it would also escape from the vulnerability which had begun to diminish the value of the existing Minuteman missiles. No enemy could know just where a given MX would be at any given time.
The Navy was happy with the 85-inch model for MX. It is in fact being built for the Navy as Trident III. It will be fitted into the new Trident submarines as soon as ready.
But the Air Force did not want a ''commonality'' weapon.
The Air Force waged a campaign for a larger carrier for the new and superaccurate warheads. President Carter gave in to Air Force pressure and allowed them to design the present and controversial MX.
This Air Force model is 71 feet long, 92 inches in diameter, and weighs 190, 000 pounds. It is too big for a Trident submarine, too big to be carried and launched from existing aircraft, and too big to be trundled around by flatcar or truck. It has to have a hole in the ground for launching.
But because it has to have a hole in the ground it has lost mobility and thus regained the vulnerability of the Minuteman. The Air Force thought up the ''race track'' scheme for giving it some mobility. It could be moved by special vehicle around a track from one launch hole to another. But that fell down on political grounds. No state wanted to give up the space necessary for the race track.
President Reagan has been persuaded to accept a new system for the big MX, the ''dense pack.'' It is based on the theory that if 100 are packed together in a mere 20-mile long area the Soviets would have trouble knocking all of them out.
But there is so much doubt about this that there is now talk of protecting the MX in its ''dense pack'' field with batteries of anti-ballistic missiles - ABMs. But more ABMs are prohibited under SALT I. Besides, enough ABMs to protect the 100 MXs could nearly double the cost of the MX - an extra $20 billion for ABMs on top of probably about $30 billion for the 100 MXs.
Trident III missiles will be available for Trident submarines as soon as the MX could be built and deployed. One Trident III missile would be just as accurate as an MX. But it would not be able to carry as many warheads. However, the same number of warheads with the same blast power could be achieved with more Tridents, or by using the Trident III-type missile from large planes, surface ships, railway flat cars, or trucks.
But the Trident III, or the smaller MX at 85-inch diameter, lacks one feature of the big 92-inch MX. While the smaller is mobile and can be used in a submarine or trundled a-round on a truck - it is not the exclusive possession of any one military service. The MX, in its big version, is an exclusive Air Force property. It cannot be used by Army or Navy.
The conclusion from all of the above and from the other factors considered in the two previous columns on this page on the MX debate is that with one exception anything the big MX can do can be done as well and probably for less money by other means and without breaking the bounds of SALT I and II. The one exception is giving the Air Force a new weapon which is its exclusive property.
Considering that the fixed missile is immensely more vulnerable than any mobile missile it would seem that the US government could have extra counterforce strength to balance off Moscow's newly accurate weapons more quickly by scrapping the big MX and going instead for a mix of Trident IIIs, mobile 85-inch MXs, and cruise missiles. There would probably be some money saved.
Is it worth staying with a vulnerable and probably soon obsolete fixed land-based system just to give the Air Force an exclusive?

This article was originally published in The Historic Interpreter, newsletter of the Minnesota Historical Society Interpreters Caucus. Portions were published in the magazine of the Midwest Outdoor Museum Coordinating Council (MOMCC)
Those of us who work at living history museums have always worked to purge modern words and expressions from our vocabularies. However, the people we portray had a richer language than just modern English without "okay" and "have a nice day". By finding some of their words and phrases, we can add an extra dimension to our interpretation of their time that simply can't be found in facts, costumes, or artifacts.
To this end, I have chosen a book written in 1830 and combed it for its vocabulary. The book has been titled by modern editors Private Yankee Doodle . It is the memoirs of Joseph Plumb Martin, who fought in the Revolution as an enlisted man. I used Martin's memoirs because he has a natural writing style that breaks through the formalism so pervasive in authors of this period. He has a way with words and a knack for telling stories that leaves readers feeling like he is talking rather than writing. Most important, this is the man himself, not a professional writer's caricature of common speech. I feel this is the closest I will ever come to actually hearing people of this period talk.
What I have provided herein is a list of words and phrases Martin used. Some are words that are in modern dictionaries but not in common usage. There are words that have disappeared, words that have changed meanings, and a few that haven't changed but could be mistakenly thought too modern to use. In some instances Martin himself stopped to explain a word he thought would be unfamiliar. After each word, I give a definition, a quote from the book to show the context, and the page number for those who want to look it up. Some may "cavil" with some of my choices of words and think I left some things out or got definitions wrong, but, as long as I am not the victim of any "obloquy", such are welcome to go and look for themselves.
Private Yankee Doodle , by Joseph Plumb Martin, edited by George F. Scheer. Originally published in 1830. Little, Brown Co, 1962. Eastern Acorn Press, 1988.
By the by; same meaning as today. "...who, by the by, will, I hope, none of them be beyond the pale of my own neighborhood..." P.xxiii
Beyond the pale; same meaning as today, perhaps more strictly geographical. Originally referred to the area around Dublin, Ireland under English control. see above
Grandsire; grandfather. Martin always used this word instead of "grandfather". P.4
In previous posts, we've described and to cite the sources you quotein your paper. Today, we'll show how to write the quotations themselves.
There are two main ways to present quotations: (1) you can set off a long quotation as a block, or (2) you can run a shorter quotation into your text with quotation marks.
First, let's write a block quotation. Aquotation of five lines or more is a good candidate for setting as a block. Here's a block quote from theyoung adult novel
Plus One
Coach Hewes Safari Women US 5 Black Bootie o6easNpm
It takes guts to deliberately mutilate your hand while operating a blister-pack sealing machine, but all I had going for me was guts. It seemed like a fair trade: lose maybe a week's wages and possibly the tip of my right middle finger, and in exchange Poppu would get to hold his great-granddaughter before he died. I wasn't into babies, but Poppu's unseeing eyes filled to spilling when he spoke of Ciel's daughter, and that was more than I could bear. It was absurd to me that the dying should grieve the living when the living in this case was only ten kilometers away. Poppu needed to hold that baby, and I was going to bring her to him. (Fama 2014, 3)
Some things to notice about the block quotation:
Fama, Elizabeth. 2014. Plus One. New York, NY: Macmillan.
Instead of theauthor-date method of citation, some instructors will tell you to use the notes-bibliography method , which requires putting a footnote or endnote number at the end of the block quotation:
I wasn't into babies, but Poppu's unseeing eyes filled to spilling when he spoke of Ciel's daughter, and that was more than I could bear. It was absurd to me that the dying should grieve the living when the living in this case was only ten kilometers away. Poppu needed to hold that baby, and I was going to bring her to him, even if Ciel wouldn't. 1
You would then write an endnote or footnote (whichever your instructor prefers) citingpage 3 of Fama's book. The format is the same for endnotes and footnotes:
1. Elizabeth Fama, Plus One (New York, NY: Macmillan, 2014), 3.
If you have a bibliography, the citationwould look like this:
Fama, Elizabeth. Plus One .New York, NY: Macmillan, 2014.
If you are using author-date citations, theywould look like this:
Reference list: Fama, Elizabeth. 2014. Plus One .New York, NY: Macmillan.
In-text citation: (Fama 2014)
If your quote is less than five lines, you can probably run it into your text. Let's say that we've been discussing in our paper how Famauses descriptions of the characters. For instance, instead of simply telling usthat the grandfather is blind, she writes that his "unseeing eyes filled to spilling"(Fama 2014, 3).
Here's the picture
Now let another function h : Y → Y where Y is another set
Suppose further thatcommute
The last statement can be written more simply as
or, by applying τ − 1 to both sides
Here's a commutative diagram that illustrates
Here's a similar figure that traces out the action of the maps on a point x ∈ X
Now, it's easy to check from (8) that g 2 = τ − 1 ∘ h 2 ∘ τ holds
In fact, if you like proofs by induction, you won't have trouble showing that

What does this tell us?
It tells us that the following are equivalent
We end up with exactly the same object
Have you guessed where this is leading?
What we're going to show now is that the operators T and K commute under a certain bijection
The implication is that they have exactly the same rate of convergence
To make life a little easier, we'll assume in the following analysis (although not always in our applications) that u ( 0 ) = 0
Let V be all strictly concave, continuously differentiable functions v mapping R + to itself and satisfying v ( 0 ) = 0 and v ′ ( y ) > u ′ ( y ) for all positive y
We'll help you begin these sometimes "hard to talk about"topics.
