The new Volvo C70 has the same smart three-piece retractable hardtop, comfortable seating for four adults and world-leading convertible safety as before.
But the updated design and elevated premium feel bring the sleek convertible up to a completely new level of relaxed, refined elegance.
The Volvo C70 is in actual fact two attractive cars in one. The elegant coupe turns into a sleek convertible through a smooth 30-second roof operation. Above all, however, the Volvo C70 is a car to enjoy, ideal for people who reward themselves with the best in life.
"The Volvo C70 has classic convertible lines and a strong identity of its own. What we have done is to carefully redesign the front and rear so they harmonise more with both today's and tomorrow's Volvo models. This brings the convertible visually closer to the upcoming all-new Volvo S60," explains Fedde Talsma, Exterior Chief Designer at Volvo Cars. He adds:
"We have also increased the exclusiveness of the materials and trim details to enhance the atmosphere of luxury and enjoyment inside the car," he adds.
Modernised, confident front
The new front reveals traces of the all-new S60. The C70 has thus been upgraded to relate more closely to the design language of the larger cars in the Volvo model range.
Bodywork details such as the front wings have also been redesigned, contributing to the decidedly altered appearance.
The nose is more wedge-shaped. Three-dimensional depth has been added by moving some elements of the front both longitudinally and vertically. The new headlamps and the décor around the fog lamps, for instance, have been angled offset up and to the rear, at the same time as the detailing of the lower grille has been enhanced.
From head-on, the front forms an open, inviting "V". The enlarged iron mark and the new, larger air intake reinforce the self-assured stance. Owners who want an even more extrovert look can choose a vibrant new red colour, Flamenco Red Pearl.
Exclusive new rear design
The exclusive high-tech LED lamps, of the same type as found on the Volvo XC60, are the most noticeable update at the rear. The entire lamp unit is clearly integrated with the oval that frames the new C70's rear panel.
As at the front, new lines and details in the bumper and elsewhere have been integrated to emphasise the depth and dynamism of the design language.
Interior that rewards the driver
The interior has been updated in several respects to create a unique ambience in the Volvo C70. The instrument panel has been redesigned, giving it a wider, sleeker look, and the surface of the panel has a new texture that enhances the feeling of quality.
The exclusive new instruments, with gauges and graphics specific to the C70, are yet another example of how the car's premium feeling has been emphasised still further.
"We've focused the new interior features around the driver to give the owner a stronger perception of being rewarded behind the wheel. The seats are upholstered in soft hide and general attention to the finish of the various details makes driving a more pleasurable experience than ever before," continues Fedde Talsma.
World-leading safety among convertibles
The new Volvo C70 has been engineered as one of the safest convertibles on the market, as regards both preventive and protective safety. The car has an advanced body structure and several solutions that are unique in the world of open cars. The lack of a fixed roof has been compensated by structural reinforcements and sophisticated technology.
The Volvo C70 has sturdy roll bars that shoot up behind the rear seat passengers to create added protective survival space should the car roll over. These bars, which are part of Volvo's Rollover Protection System (ROPS) are activated by a gyro-sensor.
Unique door-mounted inflatable curtain
One important part of the side-impact and rollover protection is the inflatable curtain, IC, which is installed in the door. The curtain has an extra-stiff design that keeps it upright and helps protect the head in an effective way even if the window is open. What is more, the curtain deflates slowly; helping to provide added protection should the car roll over.
In addition to the inflatable curtains, the front seat occupants also have side-impact airbags. The size of these bags is dimensioned to shield both the chest and hips. The inflatable curtain interacts with the belt pre-tensioners to contribute to the best possible protection for front seat occupants in a side impact or rollover situation. All four seats come with safety belt pre-tensioners.
Engine range, Volvo C70
Advanced engine and exhaust filtration technology means Volvo's engines combine high performance with low environmental impact. The Volvo C70 is available with the following petrol and diesel engines. The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures apply to versions with a manual gearbox running in the mixed driving cycle.

- 3 glacé cherries, halved (we used red dyed ones to keep it classic, but the choice is yours)
- 300g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Baking powder is a raising agent that is commonly used in cake-making. It is made from an alkali…
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- little icing sugar, for dusting
For the filling
- 6 tbsp cherry jam
- 250ml double cream
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line bases and sides with baking parchment. Scatter the 2 tbsp caster sugar in the base of one of the tins. Drain the pineapple over a bowl to catch the juices. Measure 100ml of juice into a big mixing bowl. Pat dry 3 pineapple rings with kitchen paper and halve horizontally. Arrange in the sugared tin, then add the glacé cherries.
Add the melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and eggs to the pineapple juice, and beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Divide the mixture evenly between the tins – it should be runny enough to pour over the pineapple to cover. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean. Leave for 5 mins, then turn out the cakes onto a wire rack (pineapple-side up), peel off the parchment and cool.
Spread the jam over the cooled sponge without the pineapple. Whisk the cream, sugar and vanilla until thick, then spoon over the jam. Gently sit the pineapple sponge on top, and dust with a little icing sugar. Best eaten within 48 hours.

"Sightseeing" seems like such a passive word; Massachusetts sightseeing should really be called "sight-experiencing". How else would you describe retracing the steps of the colonists, soaring through the trees on a canopy tour, reliving the excitement of the Revolutionary War, quacking like a duck on an amphibious land vehicle, seeing Boston by Segway, cruising Buzzards Bay, or taking a spooky Dead of Night Ghost Tour? You can even munch your way through the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory tour, take the most delicious ride during a Bike Farm Table weekend, or treat yourself to the Boston Brew Tour. Hey, is there such a thing as sight-eating?

Setting the Bar: Local Graduate's Five-Year Plan Is to Be Five Years Older
With many college students graduating across the nation, many are taking the first steps into the direction of the rest of their lives. However, there is one person who is blowing everyone's life plans out of the park: graduate Thomas Fuller's five-year plan is to become five years older.
"Is this kid for real?" local neighbor Phillip Randall asked.
In fact, he is real, and Thomas is beginning to pursue his goal from the basement of his parents' home.
"I've aged a lot in this house; it's where I age best. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it," Thomas explained.
Many are asking: what made Thomas decide to embark on this unique life goal?
"I'll admit, it's not a journey many embark upon," Thomas stated. "When I sat down right here on this couch a few days after graduation, I thought about it and realized how many people are trying to not grow up. Not me. I'm just gonna embrace it. I'm not going to be like a Benjamin Button or Jennifer Aniston. I'm going to age, just you wait and see."
The Black Sheep talked with his mother upstairs for a report on how successful his endeavors have been so far.
"It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard," Sarah Randall stated. "At first I thought he was joking, but now he just sits in the basement playing video games all day long. His father keeps telling him to get a job, and he just says 'I already do.' What's he gonna do when he's 26 and can't be on our health insurance anymore?"
"By then, I'll have accomplished my 5-year goal," Thomas explained. "Next goal: Get health insurance."
While this Peter Pan anti-hero may not be respected for his career goals, it's the career Thomas has decided to take.
"I found a gray hair the other day," Thomas recalled, shrugging. "It's looking like a pretty high success rate. I think things will turn out quite alright."

I have just download and installed the dsPIC blockset. It was installed properly and it is not included on the matlab directory.
I checked that the matlab folder is set to the dspic blocks folder.
I am using matlab R2010a on windows 7 64bit.
However when I try to compile the examples the following error appears:
File I/O error on file 'dspic.tlc'
Operation that caused an error: open
I am kind of lost here. If someone could explain what does this means and how to workaround that error I would be most thankful.
Can't run examples

Re: Can't run examples
I had the same problem and I finally solved it. The solution is to copy the blockset m-file to any place other than C: partition. I have copied it to partition E: and chancged the path of Matlab to this location and run the "install_dsPIC_R2012a.m" file inside matlab. Then open the examples folder and run any example and it will work.
Re: Can't run examples
Thanks for the reply.
It has worked!
Please forgive me for taking so long to answer. I was distracted by some issues at work.

The right wing media is exploiting the Benghazi disaster as an opportunity to diss President Obama and personally blame him for the entire fiasco. Fox News is especially all over the story.
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.I don't doubt any of the above facts. Most news reports have pretty much included the same information. But here's the problem: the military and the CIA have a long history of hating each other. The CIA is a secretive and covert organization that pretty much operates without any scrutiny whatsoever. Moreover, the CIA literally controls the US State Department and always has. Benghazi was not the US Embassy, which is in Tripoli. The CIA is notorious for creating these consulates as bases of operation for CIA missions, missions that typically include arming and funding radicals and jihadists for the purpose of destabilization of a nation and regime change. It's been going on at least since the days of Jimmy Carter who funded and armed the Afghan Mujuhadeen, now the Sunni Islamist Taliban, to fight the Soviets. The CIA was a key 'on the ground' player in Afghanistan during the Cold War and is directly responsible for arming some of the most dangerous folks on the planet.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."
Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.
At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters.
Unfortunately, the US has a very long history of being in bed with radical Sunni Wahhabist Salafist Islamists and the top of this disturbing pyramid goes straight to the House of Saud, the kingpin of Wahhabist Sunni Islamist terror. It's no coincidence that 15 of the 19 911 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. The foreign policy of the US is to support, fund and arm radical Sunni jihadists and we've been doing it for a long time. The US government and the CIA backed and supported Pakistan's nuclear arms program, along with Saudi Arabia. Pakistan used to be a nation teeming with radical Sunni Islamists but now, courtesy of the US and it's Saudi alliance, is a nuclear armed radical Sunni Islamist nation. It's only a matter of time before some zealot Sunni nutjob seizes control of Pakistan's nukes and starts firing away. Moreover, Pakistan was once a benign Muslim nation until Saudi and Gulf Sunni money and madrassahs started pouring into the nation to radicalize the population.
The hardcore neocon website, familysecuritymatters.org, is accusing Obama of being an ally of Al Qaeda.
Arms Flow to Syria May Be Behind Benghazi Cover-Up
Stevens was tasked with helping to coordinate U.S. assistance to the rebels, whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). That means that Stevens was authorized by the U.S. Department of State and the Obama administration to aid and abet individuals and groups that were, at a minimum, allied ideologically with Al Qaeda, the jihadist terrorist organization that attacked the homeland on the first 9/11, the one that's not supposed to exist anymore after the killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2012.The above assessment is erroneously ludicrous on several levels. First, Al Qaeda isn't even an organization with the power to do anything. Al Qaeda is, however, just one of many, many Islamist groups funded by our friends the Saudis and the CIA. Nothing, however, stops the neocons from accusing Obama of being an appeaser of radical Islamists. In fact, it was only a few short months after 911 when President Bush entertained Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at his Crawford, TX ranch in April 2002. Few international dignitaries got invites to the Bush ranch but the Saudis were always welcome. The Saudi-Bush family connections date back to the days of the George Herbert Walker Bush.
If there's a concern about US presidents and government officials being all warm and cozy with 911 jihad terrorists, look no further than the Bush family affection for radical Sunni jihadists.
The Bush-Saudi Connection - The Bush Crime Family has a very long history of being very close to the evil House of Saud.
The absolute favorite photo of the neocons is the photo of Obama bowing before the Saudi King according to protocol. US presidents have bowed before many foreign leaders according to the prevailing custom. At least Obama wasn't kissing and holding hands with King Abdullah, the King of Islamist Sunni terror. Bush was being overtly and outwardly affectionate with King Abdullah while Obama was just being polite and respectful. Big difference!
George Herbert Walker Bush is also a former CIA director with deep ties to the organization and its clandestine operations. The CIA has been funneling arms and money to dissidents of all religious and political stripes for decades and such folks were probably on the CIA payroll. This is nothing new. Again, it's important to note that the US State Department is heavily staffed with CIA, officially, and unofficially through US Aid programs. Even neocon Glenn Beck chirped in on the issue.
Glenn Beck Explains How Obama Used Ambassador Stevens to Funnel arms to Libya and Syria
It's probably true that Ambassador Stevens was carrying out a CIA mission under the guise of a State Department consulate but this is quite common. Obviously, something went very wrong and what most probably went wrong is that the Islamists the CIA trusted and were doing business with turned on them when they saw an opportunity to humiliate the US by successfully attacking the Benghazi consulate. Also, the issue of the mysterious mission of Ambassador Stevens is being raised.
How US Ambassador Chris Stevens May Have Been Linked To Jihadist Rebels In Syria
....there was a CIA post in Benghazi , located 1.2 miles from the U.S. consulate, used as "a base for, among other things, collecting information on the proliferation of weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals, including surface-to-air missiles" ... and that its security features "were more advanced than those at rented villa where Stevens died."The entire Benghazi fiasco is covered with CIA fingerprints. But the burning question is this: why didn't the US military come to the rescue of the CIA?
And we know that the CIA has been funneling weapons to the rebels in southern Turkey. The question is whether the CIA has been involved in handing out the heavy weapons from Libya.
In any case, the connection between Benghazi and the rise of jihadists in Syria is stronger than has been officially acknowledged.
The CIA kind of functions as its own military, much to the consternation of the US military. The CIA is also decisive and is not gnerally hampered with too much in the way of chain of command restrains. Conversely, the US military is heavily a top down chain of command operation. Getting somebody to make a decision can be very difficult depending the potential blowback of the situation.
The entire attack was over within a matter of hours but during the attack urgent messages were coming out of the Benghazi consulate. The Benghazi timeline is here. More interesting is that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta wiggled out of the situation by proclaiming that the military didn't have enough information to warrant putting forces at risk which is the equivalent of Panetta giving a birdie to the CIA.
Panetta on Benghazi attack: 'Could not put forces at risk'
The U.S. military did not get involved during the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last month because officials did not have enough information about what was going on before the attack was over, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said Thursday.Where was the military and why didn't it respond to CIA calls for help? Panetta claims the military didn't have enough time. Another critical factor that is missing in the analysis is the location of the US military presence in Libya. Nobody seems to know if the military was anywhere on the ground in Libya, obviously something that neither the US government or the military wanted disclosed.
What is known is that the Benghazi consulate was a CIA front engaged in weapon smuggling to Syrian Jihad rebels. President Obama knows what the CIA does, even if he doesn't know what the CIA is actually doing because that's how the secretive and unaccountable CIA has always operated. The CIA is one of those things that nobody in government ever wants to talk about because, well, the CIA is very dangerous, it kills folks, it arranges assassinations and exactly who it reports to isn't exactly clear although formally the CIA Director reports to the president. It's been speculated by many CIA observers that the CIA is really nothing more than the private and personal military of the New World Order, the banksters and resource seeking corporatists. It's also widely believe that the CIA is self-funding through the drug trade.
The CIA is the Biggest Drug Dealer on the Planet
President Kennedy said he wanted to smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind. According to James Douglass who wrote JFK and the Unspeakable, Why He Died and Why it Matters, the CIA murdered JFK. Douglass writes "We have no evidence as to who in the military-industrial complex may have given the order to assassinate President Kennedy. That the order was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency is obvious. The CIA's fingerprints are all over the crime and the events leading up to it."
That the CIA is feared by the political class is an understatement. But what makes Benghazi so intriguing is that it's increasingly more difficult to cover-up dastardly CIA deeds given the explosion of non-government controlled alternative media. The Benghazi cover-up, bungled and clumsy as it was, was solely to protect the CIA and its mission, whatever the cost. Ambassador Stevens and those who worked with him were not victims but were active participants in the CIA's work. Most probably, Stevens wasn't an ambassador at all, just a CIA operative masquerading as an ambassador. Moreover, it's probably also true that the military just didn't want to get involved, assuming it could have done something, because of its natural hostility toward the CIA.
I believe that Obama was probably horrified by what happened in Benghazi but when your lust for power is so great that you decide to bed down with the CIA spooks and spies, anything can happen. At the end of the day, Benghazi was just another Fast and Furious gone bad. Republican attempts to capitalize on the Benghazi fiasco are indeed shabby and reckless. If anything, Republicans worship the CIA and its evil and secretive missions far more than the Obama and the Democrats.

In Hear This, A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well—some inspired by a weekly theme and some not, but always songs worth hearing. This week: actually scary songs.
I'm not sure that I've ever really been scared by a song, but if any has come close, it's "Suffer Little Children" by The Smiths. The lyrics reference the horrific Moors Murders, which took place in Manchester when Morrissey was a child: He's mentioned that he was the right age to have been a victim of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, who kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered five children between 1963 and 1965. The song isn't sensationalistic—it's actually quite restrained and poignant considering the subject matter: "A woman said 'I know my son is dead, I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head.'" Still, the song sparked outrage when it was released, since it references some of the victims by their first names; Morrissey eventually befriended the mother of victim Lesley Ann Downey ("Lesley Ann and your pretty white beads…"), who accepted his explanation that the song wasn't meant to be exploitive. Whether it's offensive or not, though, it's pretty bone-chilling—especially to those who've read the ghastly details in Emlyn Williams' book about the crimes, Beyond Belief.

The graphics are outdated now, but it was alot of fun to play. There is a good storyline and intuitive gameplay. Harking to the name, it was also one of the first games to effectively incorporate equestrian combat.
The graphics are outdated now, but it was alot of fun to play. There is a good storyline and intuitive gameplay. Harking to the name, it was also one of the first games to effectively incorporate equestrian combat.
Horses to Ships
Time to hit the seas in this expansion. It is notable for an extensive open world. For a collector, like the base game, it also marks some notable moments in the development of open world RPGs that have now become trademarks of some of the largest brands in the industry.
I burned through this game
It took me about 34.5 hours to beat the game beginning to end and along the way any skepticism I had about purchasing the game was abolished. The gameplay and innovation were on the same level and higher than smaller projects I had enjoyed. There were no bugs such as those found in Blackguard or voice acting fails such as in Two Worlds Two. The gameplay was tough enough to keep me on my seat at an advanced setting but doable such that I could power through it.
This is a superior strategic game- could use greater replayability
I found myself with all of Napoleon's forces able to meet the conditions of victory, ironically enough marching the massive armies of Europe through the barren cold of Sweden. In reality his war in Russia basically ruined his military ambitions as most of his army was vanquished by the Moscow winter. While I intensely enjoyed the 20 years of gameplay I had a harder time replaying the game than with other grand strategy games.
I played this over and over again in anticipation of the sequel a few years back. It was worth every battle. The game broke alot of ground and is historically accurate as well. It is easy to forget that even some ancient empires kept meticulous records and combined with archeological data have given historians the opportunity to make a superior simulation such as this one.
This game is a fine city simulation that could have used DLC to complete the package. Unfortunately for the franchise it was overshadowed by Offworld Trading Company, but for those that cannot run the commerical version, this is a product that does open the door to space colonization. One advantage even would be the accurate terrain from 3 different locations in our solar system.
Possibly the most defining grand strategy game in history
I remember when the second EU came out, it had a pretty limited reception. I got the third one later, and like the evolution from Victoria I to Victoria II or Civ III to Civ IV, there was an astounding jump in the graphics and gameplay that added to the realism of the game as well as the playability. Paradox is also one of the coolest companies, one that allows online players to use all of the DLC their host is using during online play. That is a revolutionary way of demoing or giving players a taste of what can otherwise be a hefty set of expansions (but usually are completely worth their weight).
Again! Minus the bugs :-D
Essentially the same as Stronghold II, the makers of this game did not try to change a winning formula. Some new features and units, along with some significant improvements in graphics make this game attractive to those new to the franchise, and for those who have played the castle attack/ castle defense rts before, the storyline is indoubtably guaranteed to have lured you in to take another attempt at breaching the walls. I did have some gameplay difficulty on high graphics on the extremely large final mission, but basically this game was free of the glitches that paralyzed my campaign in Stronghold 2 again and again.
One of the Best Titles
This game, for someone who first played Civ II back when it won best game award, represents one of the best titles in strategic gameplay. Everything about the game makes it among the best games available even today, from the smooth, relatively intuitive gameplay (point and click) and complex algorithms controlling AI, population, and economy to the fantastic artwork completely overhauled in a brilliant break from the previous games. For the first time, as the gamer pondered their next move it was also a joy to scroll in and out, the graphics no longer an eyesore! With the expansion packs, the game simply ballooned into the future and to a level of control and breadth of experience simply unavailable in just about any other franchise ever made.
Civilization 4 was definitely the epic peak, so far, of this series (though I have my hopes up for 25th year anniversary of the series coming up) and Civ 5, while beautiful and intuitive, was a dramatic almost devastating (for big fans of the civformula) break from the first 19 or 20 years of the franchise, almost resembling at first glance something designed for an ipad or cellular device. That being said, the newest version improves greatly with the expansions and downloadable content and keeps the most important aspects of the Civilization series, such as hot seat and exciting gameplay to keep you on the edge of the hot seat, as it were. At first it seemed the series had taken a distinct turn towards a chess or go-like gameplay, but after playing the boardgame diplomacy, I understood the logic and methodology behind the radical new system of combat that at first literally left my brother and I sputtering in fury as we were used to stacking our units, without regard to supply. As the scenarios and expansions became available, and you actually take the time to get used to the gameplay (I actually played Colonization for some small period in protest to this newest kindergame), Civilization 5 will win converts of family and friends and eventually win back the diehard civ loyalist as well, with a minimal opening of the mind.
While this game attempts to keep a lot of gameplay the same, there are some new additions that warrant the praise for San Andreas. Some of them work, and others do not. The expansion of gangs, turf warfare, and further encroachment of the missions and story line on the famously violent free roam of Grand Theft Auto are for me welcome additions, along with the further development of character traits and expanded (4X as large) world. The first real and substantial improvements in graphics since the series went 3D are also welcome. Unwelcome and decidedly unpopular with those sensitive to sexual themes was the real acquisition of girlfriends and the attempts to represent (pretty unrealistically) these relationships outside of the direct story. For those who enjoyed the earlier games in the series, will love this and find it fulfills the need for a protagonist driven plot along with plenty of opportunities for gratuitous violence. But the new romantic aspects and slight improvement in graphics are not intending to particularly win new converts to the series.
Great Game
Simple and straightforward, gives a couple different gaming experiences with technological research, on the ground directing and lot management, and character driven development all for one price. My only suggestion would be to add a tutorial with limited wardrobe to direct a simple film and putting a little bit more into the later "complex" films. Ironically, while the movie timelines and films generated have only a bit of cinematic or entertainment value, they do simulate the cut scenes in mid-2000's (and some modern) games pretty effectively and the Superstar expansion gives the game diversity in wardrobe, setting, action and props.

If you think the California budget has been tight, hang on. The big squeeze is yet to come.
California's battered economy continues to underperform, increasing worries about spending cuts.
New numbers out Thursday from State Controller John Chiang show that so far this fiscal year, tax revenues continue to fall far behind expectations.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Those revenues are $1.5 billion dollars below projections. In the month of October alone, revenues were $810 million short. Even worse, the state's spending is exceeding projections by $1.7 billion.
"October's poor revenues capped a very disappointing first four months of the fiscal year," Chiang said Thursday. "Unless revenues and expenditures begin to track with projections, the state will face increasing cash pressure in the months ahead."
In Chiang's typically-understated way, he is warning of an increased chance that the Brown Administration will have to pull the trigger on spending cuts next month.
The budget passed last summer assumed the state would bring in an extra $4 billion in revenues. Critics called it an unrealistic guess, a gimmick that simply put off more cuts.
Under terms of the budget deal, a shortfall of up to $2 billion would trigger cuts of $100 million each to the University of California and California State University systems. An even higher shortfall would mean mid-year cuts to California's K-12 schools.
The Brown Administration has consistently said it's too soon to make specific decisions
H.D. Palmer with the Department of Finance tells Prop Zero that his department huddled this week with a wide range of economic experts and is looking at a trigger decision "based on a whole 12 month forecast."
Palmer says it's not a political decision, but one based on hard data.
In other words, the administration could choose to hold off the cuts on the expectation of more tax revenues in the spring. But that isn't calming the unease of educators and others who worry about how to run their schools with this kind of uncertainty looming.

LeBron James: the Heat are playing at a 'high level'
LeBron James: 'We envisioned us playing at a high level and that's what we're doing right now.'
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Five consecutive losses do not make a season. Neither do two wins -even if they come against the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs.
So the Miami Heat should take a deep breath. They should avoid crying after tough losses on national television, and they should avoid over-enjoying their victories.
Bottom line: the Heat shouldn't get too up or too down. Instead, they should focus on achieving a few things:
First, superstars Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade must continue setting the pace on defense. Getting stops will give them a chance to win every game, and it takes pressure off their mediocre half-court offense.
Second, they must keep Bosh involved on offense. One frustrated superstar can contaminate an entire team.
Finally, no team wins a championship with three superstars, so the Heat's role players must start contributing on a consistent basis.
Mike Bibby, Eddie House, and Mike Miller must start making shots. This will help Coach Erik Spoelstra settle on a more permanent rotation.
The Heat has been through a lot this year and the real action, the playoffs, haven't even started.
–Oly Sandor.

UnNews:India unveils giant air freshener to scrub atmosphere
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
17 March 2010
DELHI, India -- Officials in Delhi have unveiled a radical solution to tackle the increasingly noxious smog hanging over India: a giant public air freshener that scrubs the atmosphere clean.
The seventy-ton Pro-life® which costs about 250 million rupees (£700), sucks in 10,000 cubic meters of dirty air an hour, subjects it to a filtering process, and then emits clean air back into the dirty air again.
Delhi officials say that more of the machines will be bought if the current one, installed at one of Delhi's busiest traffic junctions as part of a pilot project, proves a success. "We will evaluate its efficacy over thirty years," P.K. Gupta, health chief of the New Delhi Municipal Council, told The Times. "If it works, we will buy more."
Delhi is the dirtiest city in the world in terms of the amount of particulate matter in the atmosphere, according to the World Bank. A brown haze often lingers over the Indian capital — a smudgy cloud linked by analysts to increasing rates of death by suffocation.
Globally, air pollution claims about two million lives a year, according to the World Health Organization.
Athletes due to compete in Delhi in the Commonwealth Games, which will begin in October, are being advised to arrive in the city at the last possible second, to minimize the risk to their respiratory systems.
Those who live there are at risk of breathing progressively dirtier air as India becomes more desperate. By 2030 the number of vehicles on the country's already congested roads is expected to rise sevenfold to about 900 million vehicles.
Environmentalists have criticized the Indian Government for not supporting public transport to cut traffic congestion and pollution levels. It has condemned the Government's support of factories that build small, cheap cars, pointing out that personal vehicles — cars and two-wheelers — use up more than 75 per cent of the road space in Delhi but meet only 2 per cent of the city's commuting demand.
"India doesn't need more cars," Gupta said in a recent report. "It needs more air fresheners."

Hello Friends,
After taking a break by reviewing eye palette here I am back with my first love again today I am reviewing two lipsticks from matte finish range from the brand Inglot. I never saw much reviews on these lipsticks in Indian blogs, I wonder why? So before buying it took me long time to decide whether to give a try or not …
So I hop on the nearby Inglot store in our city to try out the testers and what I found? Well, to see it read
About The Product:
|Inglot lipsticks Rouge A Levres in shade 410 and shade 419 Review and dupe alert
Shelf Life 12 Months after opening
You can buy it from Inglot store in your city or through Majorbrands.com
Brand Description:
INGLOT Company was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a young chemist working at that time in R&D department in pharmaceutical company. His principal objective was to produce high quality
products at fair and reasonable prices, using only the best possible ingredients and raw materials from
the most reputable suppliers. Wojtek Inglot is still directly involved in the formulation and design process
of all new Inglot products.
All Inglot cosmetics are produced within the European Union and 95% of them are manufactured in our own state of the art production facilities. We work with make-up artists and colour consultants to bring the latest trends in colour, texture and form to the market. We are constantly developing new products and have just launched the world's first ever Breathable Nail Enamel ensuring better health care for nails whilst enhancing their beauty. Our unique Freedom System allows customers to experiment with countless shades and colour combinations of different face products, giving them the opportunity to create their own customized colour palette. We are present in 280 retail locations worldwide.
Product Description:
Now coming to my take:-
from the matte range of inglot one after another. The shade 410 is a nice brown shade perfect for daily
wear while the shade 419 is a bright pink that are just perfect for night outs. The shade 410 is a bit more drying than the pink one. So whenever I applied the shade 410 [brown] one I feel a little tug and pull in my lips while applying it whereas the pink one is glides smoothly on lips.
heavy meal it fades a little leaving an even stain on lips that are also pretty wearable. The lipstick being dry in texture so proper exfoliation should be done and application lip balm or lip gloss is suggested if you feel too drying.
My LOTDs:
Now coming to pros and cons:-
1. Packaging is classy.
2. The lipsticks are super matte.
3. Pigmented.
4. Stays for more than 6 hours.
5. Can survive small meals and drinking tea and coffee.
6. Leaves a lovely lip stain after heavy meals that are pretty wearable.
7. The shades never bleed.
8. 1-2 swipes of lipsticks give full coverage.
1. Pricey.
2. Being matte it tends to dry your lips.
Leaving these two cons I don't find anything else.
My ratings:- 4/5 for the cons I deducted 1.
My Recommendation;-
If you are a true matte lover like me then you can grab these shades or some other shades from this range else people with dry lips either avoid these lipsticks or use lip balm or lip gloss above or beneath the lipsticks.
Dupe alert!
Being pricey it is not always possible for everyone to buy or afford these lipsticks so here are the dupes of these two shades that pretty affordable and easy available too J I won't say that the below mentioned shades are exact dupes but these are near about duoes of these two shades. I found the following are dupes of these two shades but you can find other dupes too .The dupes of shade 410[brown] are Kate moss 19 [that I already reviewed here] , Colorbar dress to impress lipstick, Colorbar Amber lipstick . For shades 419 the dupes are Kate moss 20 [I reviewed it here too] , sleek loved up lipstick,inglot amc lip pencil in shade 28 [reviewed here too].

I just installed v2.3.0 on my 64-bit laptop (integrated graphics chip) and tried to run Paranoiac. It's all black. Same with v2.2.0. v2.1.1 doesn't run, and gives me the following error:Rex Claussen wrote:It *never* happens on my 64-bit version GZDooM v1.89 with no dedicated graphics card (laptop & desktop machines).
'GL_ARB_sampler_objects' extensio not found. Please update your graphics driver.
Then, I tried other mods [ToTA, a Quake 2 mod, Fear Station: Charlie] and they all displayed correctly. Could there be something in Paranoiac that is messing up GZDooM? It's clearly a conflict with something in the recent versions of GZDooM, as the game plays fine in earlier versions.
For now I have reverted to 1.8.9, which (for me) is the most stable version.

U.S. missiles pound targets in Afghanistan, Sudan
The El Shifa Pharmaceutical Industries factory lies in ruins, hit by U.S. cruise missiles
Retaliation for bombing of U.S. embassies in eastern Africa
August 20, 1998
Web posted at: 5:53 p.m. EDT (2153 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saying "there will be no sanctuary for terrorists," President Clinton on Thursday said the U.S. strikes against terrorist bases in Afghanistan and a facility in Sudan are part of "a long, ongoing struggle between freedom and fanaticism."
His comments were broadcast live from the White House shortly after he arrived in Washington from his vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
American cruise missiles pounded sites in Afghanistan and Sudan Thursday in retaliation for the August 7 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
U.S. officials say the six sites attacked in Afghanistan were part of a network of terrorist compounds near the Pakistani border that housed supporters of Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden.
American officials say they have "convincing evidence" that bin Laden, who has been given shelter by Afghanistan's Islamic rulers, was involved in the bombings of the east African embassies.
In the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, the El Shifa Pharmaceutical Industries factory -- which U.S. officials say was housing chemical weapons -- was also attacked.
Pentagon sources confirmed to CNN that the attacks were made with cruise missiles, not aircraft. The missiles were fired from ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. The simultaneous attacks took place about 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT).
In a brief comment made before his departure, the president said, "Today, we have struck back."
The president said he ordered the strike against bin Laden and his compatriots because of "compelling information they were planning additional terrorist attacks against our citizens and others with the inevitable collateral casualties and .. seeking to acquire chemical weapons and other dangerous weapons."
Sudanese television showed piles of rubble at the factory and fire raging in the distance. People were seen walking through the damage, wearing masks.
Sudanese officials reacted angrily to the attacks. Interior Minister Abdul Rahim told CNN in a telephone interview that the privately owned pharmaceutical firm had "nothing to do with chemical weapons."
"We have no chemical weapons factory in our country," he said.
A statement read on Sudanese television about an hour after the attack said, "The wrongful American air force launched air attacks on Sudan tonight which aimed at strategic and vital areas." There was no report as to the number of casualties.
Bin Laden reportedly survives attack
In Afghanistan, a spokesman for the ruling Taliban, Mullah Abdullah, said that "bin Laden is safe and no damage has been done to any of his companions." Bin Laden has been living in Afghanistan with the permission of the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic group that controls most of the country.
Abdullah said the U.S. attacks were in Khost, about 90 miles (144 kilometers) south of the capital, Kabul, and on Jalalabad, 60 miles (96 kilometers) east of Kabul.
The supreme leader of the Taliban said they would never hand over bin Laden to the United States. A Pakistan-based Afghan news service quoted Mullah Mohammad Omar as condemning U.S. bombings on Afghan sites Thursday and saying that they showed "enmity" for the Afghan people.
Cohen: 'No sanctuary for terrorists'
U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen said the goal of the strikes was to disrupt and attempt to destroy the suspected training and support facilities used to train "hundreds, if not thousands, of terrorists." ( 1.9 MB / 20 sec. AIFF or WAV sound)
"We recognize these strikes will not eliminate the problem," Cohen said. "But our message is clear. There will be no sanctuary for terrorists and no limit to our resolve to defend American citizens and our interests -- our ideals of democracy and law -- against these cowardly attacks."
Cohen said planning for the attack began within the last week.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (August 11, 2003) - After a week of practice, the East Tennessee State football team held their first scrimmage of the 2003 season Monday night from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn. The defense showed great speed and athleticism during the two-and-a-half hour scrimmage, but the offense and special teams had bright spots as well. ETSU defensive coordinator Billy Taylor was encouraged after the scrimmage with the progress of his defense. "We really flew around the ball today," said Taylor. "I am very pleased with how we pursued and chased the football." "We showed a lot of positives tonight, but there is still a lot of work to be done," said ETSU head coach Paul Hamilton. "Some of the plusses were that our offense moved the ball and we showed a lot of speed on defense. (Redshirt freshman quarterback) Carl Meadows (Cummings, Ga.) was a real positive as he made some good throws tonight. Our offense did some good things, but we were not consistent enough." Junior place-kicker Jonathan Godfrey (Johnson City, Tenn.) had an impressive scrimmage, hitting on 3-of-4 field goal attempts, possibly solving a problem that hampered the Bucs throughout the 2002 season. His only miss was from 50 yards out. "Jonathan Godfrey did a very good job tonight," said Hamilton. The Bucs open the season on Thursday, Aug. 28 at Eastern Michigan. Kickoff from Ypsilanti, Mich. is set for 7 p.m.

An analyst says that Apple's new wearable computer, the so-called iWatch, will retail for $300 and that the tech company will sell around 45 million units in the first year, according to reports.
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty wrote in a research report that Apple would sell between 30 and 60 million units in the first year, according to CNET. While Huberty said that Apple's iWatch could fail, she seems to think it's likely to be a hit.
The iWatch, which still has yet to make an appearance but is expected to show up in September, has been one of Apple's most talked-about but unreleased devices. Most believe that it will be used to monitor health and body functions, as well as compete with other wearable computers such as Google Glass. More companies are building wearable devices and the market is likely to expand to $19 billion in consumer spending by 2018.

When it comes to matzo, Chicago chef Laura Frankel says hers is a love-hate relationship.
"Matzo and I are frenemies," she says of the unleavened cracker-like bread traditionally eaten during Jewish Passover celebrations. "On one hand, matzo is a food you want to be proud of -- it's part of who we are as Jews. But frankly, it usually tastes like cardboard."
During Passover, leavened breads and most grains are prohibited. The tradition is intended to recall the flight of the Jews from Egypt after being freed by the pharaoh. As the story goes, they had no time to let their bread rise before baking it. So today, matzo -- the production of which is a highly regulated process -- is central to Passover meals.
It can be eaten as is, or ground into coarse crumbs or even a fine cake meal and used similar to traditional flours.
"Every year, people will tell me they made brownies with matzo cake flour and they were even better than the real thing," says Frankel, author of the cookbook "Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes." When she hears this, she usually thinks, "No, they're not," but keeps that to herself.
Leah Schapira, an Israeli-born kosher cook, has a more comfortable relationship with matzo. Schapira -- who co-authored the recent cookbook, "Passover Made Easy" -- is happy to munch matzo plain, but when cooking with it tends to treat it as a blank canvas upon which to build dishes. She also notes that these days matzo is available in many varieties -- including whole wheat -- many of which taste quite good.
The matzo toffee bar crunch from her book is a great example of using matzo creatively. It's reminiscent of the popular confection usually coated with chopped nuts, but her version melds similar flavors together with the toasty, crunchy qualities of the matzo. Schapira, who has four kids, also uses it as a "crust" for pizza (though she cautions that a very hot oven is key to ensuring the matzo doesn't get soggy).
She and writing partner Victoria Dwek also developed a recipe for tortillas with tomato-mint salsa and guacamole because they know how much families like having a taco night and wanted a Passover-suitable option.
Still, both Frankel and Schapira say it's essential not to be fooled into thinking that using matzo crumbs and meal is the same as using flour or breadcrumbs, and they recommend not going out of your way to try to use matzo products to recreate dishes you might make at other times of the year.
Frankel points out that matzo, unlike leavened breads, doesn't have developed glutens (a protein that helps bread rise), so baked goods using matzo meal and cake meal won't have the same textures as ones made with traditional flour.
One of Frankel's tricks for baking and cooking with matzo meal and cake meal is to start out by emulsifying it by whipping it together with olive oil and egg, almost like making a mayonnaise. She uses this technique when making a matzo cake meal-based coffee cake and achieves very light and fluffy results.
Another favorite of hers during Passover is fried green tomatoes made with a seasoned matzo crumb coating. But she also regularly makes stews and soups thickened with a roux made by browning matzo meal and either olive oil or chicken fat. And as much as Frankel has her love-hate relationship with matzo, she ends up embracing it with plenty of culinary flair.
"The key thing," she says, "is you've got to strive to not have your cake and eat it too."
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
Makes 18 servings
6 sheets matzo (or enough to cover a baking sheet)

Sri Lanka army's deep penetration unit known as the Long Range Recon Patrol (LRRP) has stepped up its attacks on LTTE targets during the last few weeks. We cannot disclose any detail about the targets taken due to security reasons but we can confirm that several strikes targeting senior LTTE cadres and intelligence wing members were successfully conducted during the last few weeks.
LTTE has dispatched several of it's elite units to hunt down LRRP commando units but they have not had any success so far. Tiger strongholds such as Mullaithivu which are guarded by hard core LTTE fighters have been subject to DPU strikes in the recent past too. Pro LTTE media has come up with false claims about DPU strikes on civilians in the hope to discourage LRRP activity in north.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Air Force fighter jets carried out bombing runs targeting several rebel bases in the northern province today. SLAF's MiG and Kfir bombers were used in the attack.
SLAF currently operates 10 Kfir Multirole fighters and 4 MiG 27 'Flogger' ground attack craft in its jet bomber fleet. 3 more MiGg27 jets and one MiG23 trainer craft is set to rejoin 5th jet squadron after an overhauling.

Rory McIlroy Spotted 'House Hunting'
"Apparently I was spotted house hunting last week..... LOL!!!"
Now that's funny. Of course, the image documents Rory's unfolding disaster at the par-4 10th where he eventually walked away with a triple-bogey seven.
The Irish star again had difficulty closing out a win this past weekend at the Malaysia Open.
Leading on Saturday night and facing 27 holes on Sunday due to weather-related delays, Rory was overtaken by Italian phenom Matteo Manassero, who notched his second win in just 25 starts on the European Tour. Manassero closed with a 68 to finish at 16 under and edge Gregory Bourdy by a shot. The Italian teenager will turn 18 on Tuesday.
A three-putt double bogey at the 15th was costly as McIlroy completed his third round one stroke off the lead. Then a fourth-round rally that included three birdies in four holes on the back nine stalled at the 72nd hole when Rory carded a bogey. He shot a 69 and finished alone in third.
"I'm proud of the way I picked up myself from last week," he remarked to the media.
Today, Rory was en route to his Northern Ireland home for two weeks of R and R.

The kid is learning the ropes and will grow into a formidable player on both PGA and European tours.
I like the class he showed after the Masters with the interviews.
He'll be fun to watch this summer.

I agre with you Golf Buddy, I love watching the boy play, he's got so much natural talent. If he carries on as he's going, I would have a few quid on him becoming a world champion in a few years.

Now that the New York Mets have taken a firm grapple of the National League East, you know what that means. It's time to PARTY! Yeah!
Well, at the very least, drink with some attractive St. John's students (including one who appears to be captain of the dance team). It's David Wright, Cliff Floyd, Paul LoDuca and the team's trainer, who they sweetly let come along. Nothing damaging, illegal or even wrong here, but if you ever wanted to see David Wright doing a shot, hey, it's your lucky day. After the jump.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Local child welfare officials are now working to spread the word about a new law aimed at helping young victims of human trafficking in Florida.
Family Support Services of North Florida partnered with the Department of Children and Families for a forum to discuss the new Safe Harbor law.
Children rescued from prostitution and human trafficking can now get help from child welfare professionals instead of being placed into juvenile delinquency.
Child welfare officials say it's hard to know just how many children have been victimized in this way.
"The whole issue of children who have been victims of prostitution, we sweep it under the rug. We don't want to know about it, we don't want to talk about it," said Lee Kaywork, CEO of Family Support Services of North Florida. "We have a hard time talking about sex with our children, let alone the idea that they'd be involved in prostitution. So you never know what the real scope of the problem is."
Child welfare officials say helping these young victims is a three-fold effort: first, finding foster parents who can take in the children; next, working with the medical community to provide treatment, and mobilizing the community to take on the problem of human trafficking.

I don't call it 'time-out', I call it 'sit-and-think-time'.
Because I'm reading a book about positive discipline, where the central idea is that no child will behave better when made to feel worse, and that there is something between total permissiveness (which I hate) and do-exactly-as-I-say strictness (which I gravitate towards, but wish I didn't). Secretly I harbour an inner headmistress that would like to silence unruly children with a good Scary Eyes Face, and leave it at that. Now I've got a boy myself, Headmistress Lady bats handbags at dawn with Feelings Lady, who just wants her glorious child to be so happy all the time, and yes of course we can make mess, and of course you can climb that bannister, and please stay as long as you like at the park, you little beaming thing I adore.
Feelings Lady gets on my nerves, and she's no good in large doses for tumbleweed Henry, who already thinks he runs everything around here and should go wherever the heck he wants. I'm trying to find a middle way. There has to be one: my mum had a cracking line in Scary Eyes Faces, and she's about as far from Headmistress Lady as they come. Lovely as a sunrise, but when the eyes came out, well. You'd had it.
I hope the middle way will include effective sit-and-think-time. One day. For now, Hen sits on the edge of the step watching my ticking timer with unbearable excitement. Because when the alarm goes off, he does a special dance. It's got shoulder shrugs and everything. Not quite the learning experience I was hoping for.
(I might add that he thinks Scary Eyes Face is the opening challenge in a mother-son gurning competition.)

I am making a theatre bookings system for some school work.
I have variables A1, A2, A3, A4 etc... all of type AtoCSeat (Which I have created).
I want the user to be able to remove a booking, however I cannot figure out how to have the user input the desired seat due to the variable not being a String and being of type AtoCSeat and therefore the Scanner not accepting it.
I know this code won't work, but I was thinking something along the lines of:
System.out.println("Which seat would you like to remove a booking for?"); Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in); AtoCSeat userSelection = userInput.nextLine(); // won't work as nextLine() looks for Strings
Can anybody help me please?
Once I know how to get java to understand the user input of a seat, I can actually finish the rest of my program myself, it is just this...

MONTERREY, Mexico - Real Salt Lake came away from Monterrey with one of the results that Coach Jason Kreis said earlier in the week would be acceptable: a draw. Now they have destiny in their own hands thanks to a marvelous equalizer from midfielder Javier Morales, whose late strike gave RSL a 2-2 scoreline to take back to Utah.
"The result, that's huge," said Kreis. "Now there are three results that will advance us: nil-nil, one-one, or any kind of win."
Although Monterrey created a number of chances, goalkeeper Nick Rimando felt that his squad earned a just result in the contest.
"We deserved to get a tie here, if not a victory," said Rimando, who came up with four big saves in the match. "We had two unlucky bounces that they got their goals on – a penalty kick and a missed play, and we scored two beautiful goals."
Rimando dismissed the notion that the result came down to good fortune.
"There's no way we feel like we got lucky coming out of here with a tie," Rimando insisted.
Real Salt Lake took the brunt of a potent Monterrey attack in the initial minutes, before adjusting and playing solid for much of the first half despite giving up the first goal.
Kreis indicated that his team was caught a bit off guard by los Rayados attack initially.
"They pinned us back, and pinned us back, and were throwing so many numbers forward," said the RSL coach. "We're not used to seeing that to be honest. When they're throwing the outside backs forward on every single play, the numbers just look different than what we're used to."
Kyle Beckerman agreed that they had to adjust to their opponent.
"We didn't really know what these guys were," Beckerman explained. "And then in that first half we felt like 'hey we're better than this team, let's go.'"
The second half had a different feel as Monterrey controlled much of the play and put RSL on the back foot.
"The second half I think we just ran out of gas," Beckerman said.
Stellar work along the back line by Jamison Olave and Nat Borchers – who scored RSL's first goal – cleaning up some potential chances helped to keep the visitors in the thick of things.
Rimando was particularly proud of the fight he saw from his teammates.
"I think five years ago, we put our heads down," he said, noting the grit and maturity of the team. "We have the players up top and in the midfield to make special plays and that's what happened.
The final goal of the night was one such of those special plays.
"Javier got the ball, and had a great touch," Rimando described of the equalizing score. "And [he] cut a player and hit home with what could be a decisive goal in the series."
Morales noted that he had a quick change of mind in the moment.
"In the beginning when I got the ball, I thought about the shot," explained Morales, "but when the defender came too close, I cut and then took the shot."
Beckerman wasn't surprised with the result. "I knew he was going to score. I knew it was going in once he got the ball. It was great! It was awesome!"

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Former Major League outfielder Carl Everett is in a Tampa jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness.
Jail records indicate the 39-year-old Everett was arrested Monday night at his suburban Tampa home. He was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail shortly after midnight and is being held without bond.
Details of the arrest were not immediately available. Everett's attorney, Clinton Paris, did not immediately return a call for comment.
Everett played Major League Baseball for 14 seasons. He began with the Florida Marlins and was traded to the New York Mets. He also played with the Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox, Montreal Expos and Seattle Mariners.
Everett is from Tampa and attended Hillsborough High School.
