Full Steam Ahead in Leicestershire due to Multi-Million Pound Broadband Extension
Areas to benefit include Brooksby, Elmesthorpe, Scalford, Sheepy Magna, Shenton and many other rural villages across the county.
To celebrate the news, the head of the Government's broadband delivery arm, Broadband Delivery UK acting chief executive, William Priest, visited some of the places expected to benefit and the surrounding areas, including the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, Sutton Cheney and The Battlefield Line, Shenton.
Earlier this month, he spent time meeting representatives from Leicestershire County Council and BT at the Heritage Centre, before taking a short ride on the nearby steam railway.
The extension has been made possible by a £4.4 million reinvestment of earlier funding by the County Council and BT due to high levels of take up of fibre broadband services by local homes and businesses.
Council leader, Nick Rushton, said: "Broadband is an essential driver for further growth, innovation and job creation.
"Residents and businesses need reliable, fit-for-future communications. I'm pleased to say that we have worked effectively to deliver the programme on time and under budget, it's a great success.
"It's fantastic that so many rural areas will now see fibre broadband across whole communities rather than in parts. We have truly been working together over the past couple of years to ensure the network is continually growing. I'm proud to be part of a project that is transforming the way remote areas get online."
Today's news means a further 2,000 premises will now be included as part of the current rollout, which will bring superfast broadband coverage to 97 per cent by September 2018.
During BDUK's visit, guests were able to see how revolutionary discoveries have made a crucial difference to the world in which we live. Fibre broadband technology is at the centre of business and community transformation and the visit was an opportunity to see the work that has taken place so far, as well as the outline plans to extend the programme in 2018.
Matt Hancock, Minister for Digital, said: "Superfast broadband is increasingly at the heart of modern life and we are determined to make
inspiration for other parts of the UK. We have already taken superfast broadband to 93 per cent of UK homes and businesses, and I'm delighted that another 2000 premises in Leicestershire will now be included in the rollout."
This latest contract extension means that by September 2018 more than 90,000 homes and businesses are set to benefit from the Superfast Leicestershire rollout of fibre broadband, 74,000 of which will have access to superfast speeds.
Below is a list of areas within each district due to gain new or additional coverage through this extension phase of the rollout. Not all properties in some of these areas will benefit initially. The County Council will continue to seek solutions for all remaining properties in Leicestershire.
Blaby: Earl Shilton, Elmesthorpe, Potters Marston, Sharnford & Wigston Parva Charnwood: Six Hills & Walton on the Wolds
Harborough: Stretton Hall & Wibtoft
Hinckley and Bosworth: Cadeby, Far Coton, Gopsall, Lindley, Osbaston, Pinwall, Sheepy Magna, Shenton, Snarestone & Wellsborough Melton: Belvoir, Brooksby, Gaddesby, Little Dalby, Saxelbye & Scalford North West Leicestershire: Coleorton & Farm Town
Steve Haines, managing director of next generation access for Openreach, said: "Our partnership in Leicestershire continues to be a huge success and one that's transformed the way people get online. We know how important it is for people in rural areas to have superfast download speeds and we're delighted to be in a position to be able to extend our work across the county, thanks to the overwhelming success of the programme so far."
Work carried out as part of the Superfast Leicestershire programme is in addition to BT's commercial rollout in the county that has already made fibre broadband available to around 300,000 properties.
All of the engineering work on behalf of Superfast Leicestershire is being carried out by Openreach, the local network business, which is part of BT Group, meaning people with access to the fibre network can choose from a range of internet providers.

If you were betting in your favorite sport with a fair amount of success then you could even take it to a higher level, and that is to turn into a betting pro. Now you can turn your exhilarating hobby into a profitable business bestcasinoinuk.com. You can certainly provide the right start to your online sports betting business just by using a few straightforward rules to safeguard your overall health and wealth for a long time.
A betting business can prosper only if you win most of your placed bets and that too with a very high amount. In order to achieve your ultimate goal, you will firstly have to search for reputed online sports books that will not back-track on placed bets and winnings. You will need to play with the most number of online bookies in order to boost your chances of winning additional money. Each sports book will display different odds on their own gambling site and you will need to seek those that offer better odds than the rest.
A simple yet crucial rule is to play simply with money you can afford. Do not gamble away money intended for your mortgage or your childs education. You ought to maintain a separate account for your betting business and run the show like a pro. You should certainly monitor all your money and winnings lying with each sports book so that you can quickly transfer that money around into other accounts before placing your bets.
This move will guarantee optimum use of your finances and you'll easily be in a position to win more money by placing the correct stakes with all the right sportsbooks. Your lifestyle might turn sedentary as you could be sitting mostly on your computer chair and it also would make healthy sense to engage in stretching exercises coupled with other exercises in order to remain healthy.
Additionally, you will need to read on how to interpret sports betting lines that has a high level of accuracy whilst mastering the art of placing straight or parimutuel bets. Since each betting line is slightly different while betting on various sports such as college football games, baseball, nba basketball, boxing, horse racing or even golf, among numerous others, you will need to understand the implications of each bet before you place any bet on a game or race.
If you reside in the USA then you'll also have to look into the legal element of betting on certain sites or else you could end up making an illegal move, with serious consequences. You should play only at those sites that clearly allow US players to bet without attempting to include agents or any other middlemen into the picture.
Another tip for safeguarding your hard earned money is to play only with web sites that conduct secure financial transactions including an e-check facility. This will prove to be a better option than credit cards and definately will minimize probability of any foul play. You ought to take all possible precautions while betting at websites on the internet since tracking and recovering any lost money can be extremely difficult since many gambling sites might be based in countries that could be on the other end of the globe.
You can certainly combine the fun of watching your favorite sport with betting and turn it into a well-paying business. However, much like with every other business, your online sports betting business will start giving profitable returns only if you place educated bets and handle your finances wisely.

La Network survivability, in italiano, sopravvivenza di rete è la possibilità che, in seguito ad una o più eventi critici, il sistema continui a funzionare per quello che è stato progettato.

Descrizione
Intendendo sempre la rete come un insieme di nodi e di servizi, allo scopo di questa analisi gli eventi saranno mappati su qualunque occorrenza accada nella rete (evento utente, evento interno, evento di comunicazione, fault).  Col termine servizio ci si riferisce invece a una qualunque attività che è prevista essere iniziata da uno start event e terminata da un end event.
La Survivability analysis può essere di grande aiuto sia in fase progettuale, sia in fase di review post-facto della rete, per trovarne i punti deboli, meno affidabili, od i colli di bottiglia.

Tre gli aspetti che il modello è in grado di descrivere:
 L'effetto che una fault può avere sul sistema
 L'affidabilità del sistema, intesa come la probabilità che il servizio iniziato termini correttamente
 La convenienza costo-beneficio del sistema, ossia la valutazione di quali componenti siano meglio aggiornabili in termini di rapporto costo/beneficio.

Perché questa analisi sia corretta, è necessario in primo luogo analizzare tutti i possibili casi di failure accidentali e maliziose, e pesarne l'importanza all'interno della rete (ad esempio, un BOF su un server centrale ha sicuramente peso maggiore che il reboot di una macchina periferica di un qualche utente). Si introduce inoltre, a differenza di quanto visto finora, la dipendenza tra gli eventi (in particolare gli eventi che portano a una fault). Questo significa che l'accadimento di un evento può rendere più probabile l'accadimento di un secondo, distaccato ma dipendente, evento. È in questo modo possibile, inoltre, modellare quelli che sono definiti come attacchi correlati, ossia tentativi sequenziali di attacco che singolarmente non hanno effetto ma che insieme sono in grado di compromettere una risorsa od un servizio (es: DDoS). L'analisi dovrebbe essere fatta a seconda dei servizi che la riguardano, e dunque essere costruita sullo scopo della rete (o parte di essa) che si vuole analizzare.

Constrained Markov Decision Process

	Nel Markov Decision Process (MDP), gli agenti che perpetuano il processo cercano di trovare delle policy, e quindi di effettuare delle scelte, che portino a massimizzare un obiettivo dato. Quando però gli obiettivi sono più d'uno, magari conflittuali, bisogna ricorrere a un framework diverso, appunto CMDP.

Nel modello CMDP, le probabilità delle transizioni dipendono dalla storia h delle stesse. Un CMDP è composto da 5 tuple:

 Uno spazio degli stati finito e discreto, S
 Un set finito di azioni A, dove A(s) indica l'insieme di azioni disponibili per lo stato s.
 Probabilità di transizione tra gli stati, P
 Il costo immediato di un'azione, descritto come c(s,a) è il costo di prendere la decisione di azione a quando si è nello stato s
 Un vettore di costi immediati d

Una policy u è una regola di decisione che tiene in considerazione la storia della rete, e determina l'azione successiva all'istante; la notazione per cui la policy u al tempo t intraprende l'azione a è

Una policy u definisce il costo   delle azioni che vengono intraprese se la policy u viene applicata allo stato iniziale s.
Analogamente, d è il costo immediato dell'intraprendere una policy u partendo da s.   è un vettore k-dimensionale referenziato da un altro vettore C che indicizza i costi di ogni elemento i di, permettendo di effettuare il confronto tra i vari costi delle policy così da poter scegliere tra tutte quelle possibili quella più conveniente, per poter ottenere il valore di   minore.

Il modello

Il modello proposto ed in analisi prevede che sia nodi che archi vengano rappresentati come macchine a stati che comunicano attraverso variabili condivise. La composizione di queste macchine a stati (nodi e link) crea il modello della rete.

Le fault e le proprietà

Come anticipato, in questo caso sia i nodi che i link sono da considerare con affidabilità <1, e dunque non perfetti: questo riassume il concetto di link in quello di nodo, configurando di fatto un modello in cui i link altri non sono che nodi che fungono da tramite per la comunicazione tra due nodi a loro periferici. Per studiare come la rete reagisca ad un fallimento, questo va inserito nel modello; chiaramente, ogni diversa applicazione a cui la rete è rivolta comporta un comportamento diverso del nodo che fallisce (si ricorda che l'analisi è service-dependant). Le fault vengono rappresentate da una variabile chiamata fault, inserita in ogni nodo della rete, che può assumere 3 diversi valori: {normal, failed, intruded}. A seconda del valore assunto dalla variabile fault, il comportamento del nodo varia (modi operativi): il comportamento che ogni nodo assume a seconda del modo operativo in cui si trova al tempo t è deciso in fase progettuale dall'architetto della rete. È anche possibile, nel modello, prevedere che le transizioni di stato siano del tutto non-deterministiche. Sebbene il comportamento di ogni nodo è relativo all'applicazione contestuale in cui si trova inserito, almeno due sono i comportamenti comuni a tutte le applicazioni:

 Stuck-at-fault: il nodo è stato compromesso dalla failure, non accetta alcun input e dunque non produce alcun output (Logical Stuck Fault Model – Stuck at 0, Stuck at 1)
 Byzantine fault: il nodo entra in uno stato non consistente in cui commette errori in maniera non prevedibile, comportandosi in maniera completamente non deterministica.

Da questo punto di vista, una byzantine fault può essere usata per modellare un nodo che è ha subito un'intrusione {intruded}.

La survivability è definita dall'architetto della rete che specifica della proprietà ad essa inerenti utilizzando la logica formale, di qualunque tipo essa voglia essere. Due le classi di proprietà definibili nel modello: proprietà relazionate alle fault, e proprietà relazionate ai servizi.

 Fault related properties: questo tipo di proprietà specificano quale debbano essere le restrizioni del comportamento assunto da un nodo che entra in uno stato di fault. Ad esempio, un progettista potrebbe specificare come proprietà per la survivability che non sia possibile per un nodo N raggiungere uno stato non-sicuro se il network parte da uno stato iniziale. La comodità della logica formale è che ogni proposizione atomica, negata o affermata, può assumere una varietà di significati semantici a discrezione del progettista, così da poter modellare facilmente anche proprietà particolari o complesse.

 Service related properties: le proprietà relative ai servizi riguardano l'esecuzione di questi e le caratteristiche che devono assicurare: ad esempio, se un servizio parte è necessario che alla fine della sua esecuzione questo necessariamente termini, senza eccezioni. Meno sinteticamente, per tutti gli stati da cui un servizio può partire, e per tutti i percorsi che partono da quei nodi, esiste uno stato in cui il servizio termina sempre.

 AG(start → AF(finished))

Definite queste proprietà, è possibile verificare, attraverso il modello creato, se vengono rispettate, ed individuare così i nodi critici per un certo servizio.

Grafo dello scenario: analisi affidabilità e costo/beneficio

Definito il modello M della rete composto dalle macchine a stati rappresentati ogni nodo, e identificate le proprietà P il passo successivo è ottenere uno grafo dello scenario, in cui ti tiene conto di tutte le tracce di M rispettando P. Due grafi in particolare sono ottenibili da questo: fault scenario graph è un grafo in cui si rappresentano tutte le tracce che terminano in uno stato unsafe. Un service success/failure scenario graph rappresenta invece tutte le tracce che portano un servizio a terminare/non terminare.

Il grafo ottenuto è soggetto a diversi tipi di analisi, tra cui quella per l'affidabilità e il ritardo della comunicazione. In primo luogo è necessario che il progettista specifichi le probabilità di accadimento degli eventi più significativi che possono accadere nel sistema (faults). Essendo queste probabilità non indipendenti tra di loro, l'analisi avviene attraverso Bayesian Networks, grafi orientato aciclici in cui ogni nodo rappresenta una variabile (dunque, evento) ed un arco ne identifica la relazione con un altro nodo: è così possibile rappresentare la probabilità condizionale di accadimento degli eventi.
Nel formalismo dei bayesian network, se un evento A dipende da un set di eventi, è necessario specificare la probabilità che avvenga A per ogni coppia di set di eventi. Ad esempio, se A dipende da {E1,E2}, bisognerà specificare P(A|A1,A2), P(A|A1,!A2), P(A|!A1,A2), P(A|!A1,!A2).

Non essendo necessariamente tutte le transizioni deterministiche, il progettista non è costretto a rappresentare tutte le probabilità in gioco, ma solo quelle di interesse per lo scopo dell'analisi. Le probabilità di funzionamento/rottura dei nodi, dunque, cambiano a seconda dello scenario.

Il calcolo dell'affidabilità avviene valutando i costi degli archi e il "tipo" di stato in cui questi archi portano. Ricordando il servizio essere il punto centrale dell'analisi, si assegna un valore V(s)=1 a tutti gli stati che soddisfano la condizione finished.  A tutti i rimanenti, si assegna V(s)=0. L'algoritmo per trovare V*, ossia la funzione della policy ottimale, è denominato policy iteration ed è specifico degli scenari MDP.

Assumendo c(s→s') il costo dell'arco che collega lo stato s con s', e p(s,s') la probabilità del passaggio di stato (se esistente, poiché non tutte le transizioni sono necessariamente probabilistiche):

Chiaramente il primo caso fa riferimento a uno stato s iniziale non deterministico, mentre il secondo ad un probabilistico.

Quando il costo associato con gli archi diventa 0 (c(s→s')=0, per qualunque coppia esistente (s,s')), V*(s) è l'affidabilità, nel caso peggiore, raggiungibile per la proprietà specificata; in altre parole, è la probabilità che, nel caso peggiore, il servizio iniziato alla fine termini.

Se c(s→s') è invece considerato essere il negativo della latenza (latenza = 30ms → costo= -30), quello che si ottiene è il peggiore tempo di esecuzione di un processo prima che questo raggiunga uno stato con finished attivata.

L'analisi costo/beneficio si prefigge invece di rilevare quali archi sia meglio aggiungere al grafo per ottenere la massima affidabilità a beneficio di un costo quanto più basso possibile. Dato che l'aggiunta degli archi non dipende dallo stato del sistema, il problema (che altrimenti sarebbe di classe NP-Hard), si riduce ad un problema di programmazione non lineare, risolvibile mediante diversi approcci euristici.

During the average training cycle running injuries begin to pop up during the later stages of training more so than at any other point. By this time in the training program, your body has already endured through hundreds of thousands of steps, and if you have any movement faults, strength deficits, motor sequencing issues, running pattern faults, or issues in your training program your body is likely to react to them.
Common symptoms of these deficiencies (small or large) include gradual build-up of aches and pains. These symptoms do not feel the same as general post-workout fatigue or discomfort resulting from the activity. These are the "this doesn't feel right" kind of soreness, achiness, burning, jolts, zings, and sharp pains. Many times these pains don't gradually build-up, though. Rather they can come out of nowhere, piercing at your muscle or joint like a hot knife. In either case, both scenarios will bring your training to a halt or at the least a snails pace.
Dry needling is a technique used mostly by physical therapists and occasionally by chiropractors, medical doctors and dare I say, acupuncturists. You may be asking: Is it not the same as acupuncture?
It's that time of year again. In Cincinnati, the Heart Mini Marathon opens the running season in mid-March challenging the local winter marathon and half-marathon training groups' athletes to their first official race of the year's season. This race is used as a practice race that helps to propel the runner into the final six weeks of training in which many will see their biggest running distances of the training cycle. It's an exciting time because runners get the sense that they are nearing their the big day—Flying Pig day. In my experience as a physical therapist in Cincinnati, this race has also proved to be a harbinger to the annual ramp-up of pre-Flying Pig injuries. In light of this year's rash of injuries coming through our facility, I want to shed some light onto this year's trainees as they make the last push for the remainder of the training season.

Q: Bypass capacitor before or after circuit, does it matter? My colleague claims it is best practice to put a bypass capacitor "before the circuit" on the PCB, and even complicates the PCB design in order to ensure this rule is followed. I claim it doesn't matter, and as such it it silly to complicate the PCB design when a simpler design with the capacitor "after" would be available, but I however cannot bring any evidence to back up my claim.
(In the sketches, the integrated circuit is replaced by a current source for simplicity. The imperfection of write from power supply is modelled with a small resistor Rwire and a small inductor Lwire).

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
But I do not see how it would make any difference if the bypass capacitor was "after" the circuit such as this :

simulate this circuit
Does it "before" vs "after" really makes any difference?

A: It makes no difference.
What matters is (mainly) the loop area from the positive terminal on the IC, through the IC to its ground pin, through copper to the negative terminal of the capacitor, through the capacitor, and then through copper to the positive terminal of the IC.

In both cases, assuming the capacitor is very close to the circuit, it will absorb the noise caused by the long supply lines ...

The noise isn't caused by the supply lines, it's caused by the switching currents from the IC (which you correctly model with a current source) and the impedance of the network providing power. You are correct that it doesn't matter "which side" of the IC the capacitor is located, if it provides a low-impedance path for the switching currents it will prevent them from producing voltage variation on the supply net.

What Is an Electrical Technology Associate's Degree?
Associate's degree programs in electrical technology are available as Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science programs; they may also be known as electrical engineering technology programs. While enrolled in this 2-year program, you'll learn the basic skills needed for an entry-level job related to repairing or installing electrical and electronic equipment and systems. You often need to bring your own equipment for the hands-on training portion of this program; some of the tools needed may include an electrician's knife, pliers, wire stripper and electrical tape. Some electrical technology programs even prepare you to meet state electrical licensing requirements.
One common option for graduates of an electrical technology associate's degree program is an electrical technician. In this position, you could install and repair electrical components for businesses, manufacturers or private clients. Part of this job may include fixing or installing electrical components on site and develop electrical solutions on the fly. For example, you might determine what is causing an electrical malfunction, replace loose connections or faulty wires, reinforce electrical casing or replace defective components. You might also consult electrical schematics with other professionals to determine the best solution to an electrical problem.

Writers - How Autobiographical is your Work?
A good question. Clearly Agatha Christie was never accused of murdering anyone. Nor did Hilary Mantel have first-hand experience of the Tudor court. Yet both convey a convincing reality through research and skillful storytelling.
In writing of the squalor and hardship of eighteenth-century London in The Servant, nobody would suggest I wrote from personal experience. I live in a broad-minded welfare state, where women have access to education, to reliable birth control, and take for granted that they deserve to be treated as equal to men. And yet. The glass ceiling still exists, the fear of university debt discourages many from getting the education they might wish, and powerful men can still get away with taking advantage of attractive female employees. So it was not an impossible step to imagine how women who went before us sometimes struggled to survive.
It was also helpful that I lived for twenty years in a house built in the middle of the English Civil War. Our cottage (above) was at one time called Speldhurst Farm and in earlier days belonged to a yeoman farmer. How could I not make use of it as the home of dairy farmer Thomas Graham in my story? Albeit minus his thatched roof. How not call on personal knowledge of creaking elm plank floors, lime-washed walls, beams as thick as a man's thigh, and sparking inglenook fireplaces?
In addition, my husband had a much-loved mare called Calypso and, though she was a grey rather than my farmer's bay, when I wrote of feeling a horse's 'warm breath on my stroking hand' that was a genuine memory.
Two Christmas's ago, a neighbour's handsome English bull terrier came to visit and was swiftly inserted into my story as my hero's dog. Woody (re-named Hector for plot purposes) could not, sadly be described by his breed, since a quick spot of research discovered that the bull terrier, as such, did not exist until the following century. However, I allowed myself poetic licence and merely avoided naming the breed. I am, after all, a storyteller, not a historian.
So I do draw on personal experience when it serves my purposes. Though I should perhaps make one final point on the subject. Some years ago I won a Henshaw Short Story Competition with a piece called Till Death Us Do Part. It told of a cheating wife and how she killed off her husband in order to get her hands on his money and be with her lover. Let me reassure you that my own dear spouse, the same one then as now, is still very much alive.

Bourdain Fans from his TV shows to cookbooks will love this cookbook. To me his french cooking is fun and really intresting. Reading this book made me long for some Steak and Frites with some good wine from Bordeaux.
By Autumnkat
Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles cookbook is the first cookbook I ever read from start to finish. It's also the first cookbook I've ever read that has made me laugh. It's interesting, informative, and funny as heck. The recipes are involved for sure, but well worth the effort to prepare them.
By sugarsowner
Delicious food able to be created with a lot of time, but it is worth every minute. The meals turn out very very good.
By savyshopper
Being a fan of Anthony Bourdain already I had no Reservation no pun intended in chosing this review....his celebrity style has always and classic cooking has been our favorite and it shows in this no comfort food cook-book ...if you are looking for bistro mout-watering tasting enjoyable food this is it..!
By oregonmama
Love this book! AB's writing style is no nonsense and enjoyable. I've never been that interested in French cooking but this book has changed my mind. He does one episode of No Reservations that includes a recipe from this book - seeing the dish made makes it a lot less intimidating.
By felinedependant
I suppose the offer should be to WIN the cookbook and THEN review it. How am I supposed to review something I don't own? And, on the flipside to that, why would I want to win something I already own?
By jessicamac
For anyone who's a fan of Anthony Bourdain's show No Reservations, you'll love this cookbook. Bourdain was the chef at Les Halles, a bistro in New York, before he became a globe-trotting TV celebrity and author. Les Halles is known for simple, classic french food - nothing fancy, just bistro classics. There's a reason that there are french bistros in every major city in the world - it's comfort food at its best. Roasts, salads, steaks, and great fries. Les Halles has the best fries in NYC, and the fry recipe in this cookbook is three pages long, even though the only ingredient is potatoes (it's all about the oil temperature).

Liam Cooper, banned for six matches.
DESPITE the setbacks at Reading and Brentford, which have knocked promotion hopes, Leeds United continue to be backed by the fans with another huge crowd set for Elland Road this Saturday.
Garry Monk's men face another key clash in their bid to seal a play-off place in the EFL Championship as they take on a Preston North End team hovering just below the top six.
Following their draw with Nottingham Forest last Saturday and 5-0 win over Bristol City on Tuesday, the Lancashire side stand in eighth place, eight points behind Leeds, but only five behind Sheffield Wednesday in sixth.
They will be desperate to take three points home from their Elland Road trip to aid their late play-offs push, but United have a chance to deal what could be a knockout blow if they can add to their impressive home record of recent months.
The fact that Preston are managed by former Leeds player and manager Simon Grayson adds spice to the match and it is attracting plenty of interest among home fans with tickets reported to be flying out of the Elland Road ticket office.
Sales were already well past the 25,000 mark by last weekend with the East Stand Upper Stand being opened due to the big demand.
Head coach Monk has vowed that his side will bounce back after their successive defeats in the south.
He said: 'It's not often we have had to face back-to-back defeats this season, but we can't feel sorry for ourselves.
"We are still in a strong position, the same as we were two games ago.
"At the start of the season, nobody would have thought we would be where we are now. This group isn't prepared to let all of the hard work put in throughout the season go to waste.
Monk could have defensive problems ahead following the six match ban handed out to Liam Cooper for his stamp on Reading's Reece Oxford.
Cooper, who began his suspension during last night's 2-0 loss to Brentford, pleaded guilty to a charge of violent conduct in the hope of limiting the length of his absence. But the FA, who failed to take any action against Reading's Tyler Blackett for an elbow assault on Chris Wood in the same game, took a tough line with the Leeds player, which will rule the defender out until the final game of the regular season.
His six-match ban includes an extra game because Cooper was previously sent-off at Sutton.
His absence leaves Leeds with only two regular centre-backs plus full-back Luke Ayling, who can move inside, but was not successful there in his last appearance in the position at Barnsley.

The Sharks of the Florida Keys
The Florida Keys are home to more sharks than any other area in the world. Here's a list of the sharks you can see with Keys Shark Diving. Keys Shark Diving is the best way to see sharks up close and personal in the Florida Keys.
Your Shark Dive Partners
Tigers are large, heavy-bodied sharks that have stripes coming down their sides and across their fins, true to their Tiger name. They are a large shark species reaching up to 18 feet and weighing over 3,000 pounds. As opportunistic hunters, Tiger sharks can be found in a variety of oceanic environments on both shallow reefs and oceanic offshore waters. Tiger sharks are the second-largest predatory fish in the ocean and are powerful swimmers that can turn on the speed when necessary. While they regularly encounter divers and people with caution, they can also be very capable of being bold and aggressive without warning. Tigers sharks are known for eating a wide variety of prey to power their large and impressive bodies. Some of their natural food sources include sea turtles, birds, a large variety of fish species, squid and even dolphins and whales.
There are many types of hammerheads found in Florida's waters. Most of them range from 5-12′ and up to 1,000 pounds. Hammerheads are found in both shallow reefs/sand bottom and deep offshore waters. Hammerheads are generally cautious but can become very aggressive when prey is around. These sharks use their T-shaped heads to hone in and track down prey from long distances. Hammers are strong fast sharks and can be found in large numbers depending on which species of shark. Stingrays and fish are hammerheads favorite prey items.
Bull sharks are one of the most dangerous shark species in the world. As a very aggressive shark species, the bull shark populates a wide range of environments the world over, being at home in both offshore and inshore water along with freshwater and brackish water sources. Bull Sharks are big, powerful sharks that are often found in packs known to hunt and swim together. While a bull shark can display caution when around divers, they can become almost instantly aggressive, especially when any food source is present in their surroundings. The bull shark can grow to be a very large shark with ranges from 5-14′ and can weigh over 1,500 pounds.
Lemon Sharks are a big shark species that lives primarily in inshore shallow waters. As one of the most abundant shark species native to Florida waters, they are often seen and encountered in shallow backcountry flats, shallow inshore water and along the edge of the Gulfstream waters. While they are capable of quick and impressive bursts of speed and aggression, the Lemon Shark is somewhat docile in nature. This impressive shark species averages anywhere from around 4′ – 7′ and can weigh in at 500 pounds.
Reef SHark
As their name implies, the reef shark is an agile and fast shark that lives among shallow and deep reef environments that are native to the Florida Keys. The reef shark is a sub-tropic species that lives primarily worldwide on reef ecosystems. This shark species is frequently seen across the Caribbean, especially within South Florida, the Bahamas and other tropical island and reef environments. The reef shark primarily preys on smaller fish and is known to hunt with other reef sharks on reefs together as a pack. While usually skittish and cautious of divers, reef sharks can become aggressive, especially if there is bait or freshly killed fish in their native habitat. Reef sharks can grow anywhere from 4′ – 8′ and can reach up to 600 pounds.
Black Tip Shark
Black Tip Sharks are a smaller shark species that are fast and quick swimmers. They are capable of quick bursts of speed and are known to jump and breach the surface of the water, especially in the pursuit of their next meal. Black Tips normally live among shallow reef systems and backcountry flats around the state of Florida. They feed on a wide variety of food sources, including primarily other small fish species, crabs, and other small marine life. The black tip can rach up to 7 feet in length and can weigh as much as roughly 350 pounds.
Mako Sharks are a large and impressive pelagic shark species. As one of the more aggressive shark species, the Mako shark lives and stays in the deeper pelagic waters off of Florida, in most cases being found miles from shore. The Mako shark is also known as one of the fastest shark species, traveling at consistent speeds of 40 miles per hour and able to make large bursts of speed at any time. Here in Florida, and on our shark excursions, the Mako Shark is encountered almost exclusively way offshore in the deep waters. The Mako shark feeds primarily on fish, other sharks and other larger prey. This impressive shark species can grow to be very big, with lengths of over 12 feet and weights of over 1,200 pounds recorded.
Dusky Shark
Dusky Sharks are a large and powerful shark species that frequent the waters off the coast of Florida. As a highly migratory shark species, the Dusky shark can cover huge distances in their lifetime and can regularly be found in both nearshore and deep offshore waters. Dusky sharks feed almost primarily on smaller fish species, as well as smaller species of sharks. This powerful shark species can grow to lengths of over 10 feet and have been known to weigh as much as 1,000 pounds.
Nurse Shark
Nurse Sharks live in shallow waters and deep reefs. They feed mainly on crustaceans and smaller fish and have bone crushing jaws used to crack shells. Nurse sharks are often seen resting on sand flats and among coral structures. These sharks can grow up to 8′ and weigh over 400lbs.

The letter will state that the HMC realizes that they may not be aware of this but requests that in the future please they refer any applications to the HMC for review. Janet Cody will draft the letter and have it reviewed by Steve Ross, Dave Frederiks and Bob Doyen.
A discussion of the proposal by Mr. Nielson for the improvements at the South Lyme Marina followed.

Woman Who Kick Ass – Part 2
Peter Hill June 12, 2015 June 8, 2015 Music
This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Woman Who Kick Ass
Woman Who Kick Ass
When I showed part one of this series to The MND, his main comment was "It needs more Tori." That's when I explained that it was a two-parter and Tori Amos was topping the next installment. Tori Amos was another woman who started early, she won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute when she was five. Tori was the youngest person ever admitted and promptly went about doing things her own way. They expelled her when she was eleven, mostly for preferring to play rock instead of the classics and playing by ear instead of reading the music. In the eighties she had a band called Y Kant Tori Read referencing this habit. The band wasn't very successful and she moved on to a solo career. (I originally had a snarky comment about Y Kant Tori Read at the end of that sentence but after going back and reviewing the album, it's really not that bad especially for the stuff being cranked out in the eighties. If the only song you remember off it is The Big Picture, there are better. It has a bit of a Kate Bush influence to it. So no snark.) As one of the few woman singer/songwriters to use the piano as their instrument of choice, Tori Amos has taken a top slot as an asskicker.
Her first album Little Earthquakes came out in 1991, but it was initially rejected by the company, something Tori felt had more to do with presentation than quality. So after some reworking with the help of Doug Morris, she took the album back and it was accepted. Little Earthquakes is one of those albums that knocks you down, goes through your pockets, and picks you back up again. Me and A Gun is so personal and intimate, totally A Capella drawing you in, putting the story front and center. You are part of it whether you want to be or not. Then there is the title song taking you for dances in graveyards, up and down the scales. This album is not afraid to take chances. Listening to it on vinyl you notice the fullness of cords and how her voice is able to hit those places that it doesn't in digital. If you haven't heard the opening to China in analog you are really missing something. It is haunting.
Under The Pink was her second album and it continues with the same edge of the first, though she does rock out a bit more. God is a nice funky piece that has a great beat oddly enough. Most people who are familiar with Tori's work have heard Cornflake Girl but if you haven't heard it analog you really are missing something. The genres of music where mood and tone is a vital element get the most out of analog. When you listen to jazz, punk, blues, or a piece as personal as The Waitress, vinyl gives the songs life in a way that digital can't.
Speaking of The Waitress, when Rhino did the vinyl re-release of Under The Pink they botched the balance and everything goes to the left track. The MND was able to fix it when he did the needle drop but Rhino has said they don't intend to repress the album so there's no chance they will fix the mistake. Pretty damned inconsiderate if you ask me. I was very impressed by the owner of our LRS (local record store), Obsessions, who was willing to take the record back even though it wasn't at all his fault. There was no way he would make his money back but it was important that his customers be treated well. That is good customer service.
I remember the first time I put Horses on a turntable. In many ways it was my introduction to punk rock. Patti Smith reached through the speakers and kicked my ass. The Robert Mapplethorpe picture on the cover was completely different from the usual made up and sexualized woman rockers at the time. Her voice ripped out of the speakers with no regard for the standard rock and roll conventions. And the lyrics, they were poetry. I mean real poetry, you could read them completely separate from the songs and be impressed as hell. It's no surprise that people like Michael Stipe, Morrissey, and Shirley Manson have talked about how much Horses meant to them.
When I got the chance to get the album on vinyl again I jumped for it. Listening to again almost 40 years later, I have to say it is just as powerful as it was then. Once again, listening to the vinyl vs the digital versions it was a clear choice. I was back to that first listening. Back to the 70's when Patti was just starting, before she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, before she was named a Commander of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture, and before she won the National book award. There are few musicians who have stood up for themselves like Patti, who have had the influence over the industry like she has and who kick ass like she does.
Now if I was a DJ I'd be putting on Shirley Manson's solo album Angelfish and play her cover of Patti Smith's song Kimberly from the Horses album because it would be the perfect transition. It was a video off that album for the song Suffocate Me that drew the attention of Steve Marker of Garbage and he invited her to audition. Unlike the scenes in the movies where it's everything is perfect right from the start the first audition didn't go well and Shirley went back to Angelfish. Then, as band are wont to do, Angelfish disintegrated. After some thought Shirley asked if she might take another stab at the job with Garbage.
It was rough because she had never done the kind of studio production that Butch Vig, Duke Erickson, and Steve Marker are masters at (Butch Vig produced Nevermind for Nirvana and a bunch of other great music, but this isn't about him). She started writing songs and worked hard to make Garbage the unique band that it is now. They wanted something different, a band that could make songs that sounded like pop music but mixed in every kind of music from hip-hop to heavy metal and make the topics as subversive as possible. Having someone whose voice could do back flips through your mind and put out a cigarette in your heart was useful in that pursuit.
They managed to sell the band based one song, Vow. It was the only one they had completed but they sent it out and companies signed them based on that song. It was released and climbed the charts in Europe with no album to back it. When Garbage came out in 1995 the album was a major hit. The band hadn't planned on touring, wanting to turn out music in the studio, but realized that they needed to support the album. Shirley's ability to take over the stage quickly won them a reputation for great live shows.
Two years later they put out Version 2.0. The MND had to get this special order and had to pay a bit between ouch and wow for it. I have to say in listening to the result it was well worth the cost. The band took what they learned with the first album and built on it. Rather than going full electronica, they used the techniques to create layers of sound that back up Shirley's straight forward vocals. The influences from bands like The Pretenders (Special) are clear but there is darkness in many of the songs, Medication especially. This time the lyrics are all Shirley's and she gives them a depth that is uncommon in standard pop. Like a writer who can give their words extra meaning when they read them, Shirley is able to do the same thing with her lyrics. The analog recording is perfect for drawing out the depth of her vocals.
Beautiful Garbage was their third album and I remember getting into one of those behind the counter conversations that you always have at the Big Box Book Store I worked for at the time. One of the music people sneered at the album, saying that it didn't sound like Shirley at all. While I agree they went out of their way not to sound like the first two albums, it's Shirley all the way. The lyrics are clearly hers and her voice does the same kind of jack knife straight to the brain. It's just the way the music layered and cut that is different. They didn't mess with her voice at all. Personally, I think this is one of their most underrated albums and I'm really glad that The MND was able to get his hands on one of the original pressings. He had to work at it a bit but the sound is amazing. You really feel like you are walking along with Shirley, feeling her despair during Cup of Coffee.
Now I would like to point out that this is one album that doesn't suffer nearly as much in the comparison between the analog and digital recordings. They were making this with the understanding that most of people were going to be listening to it on CDs at that point. In fact it was one of the first albums to have an extra where you go on line, mix your own versions of four of the songs and save them to your computer. Nobody was willing to put their stuff out there like that.
Garbage wouldn't be the band it is without Shirley Manson. She brought the lyrics, the voice and the stage presence. She has influenced artists as diverse as Lady Gaga and Florence Welch. Shirley also put her time and support into the careers of musicians like Brodie Daley and Lana Del Ray when they were first getting started. Shirley is truly an asskicker.
I understand that I'm giving all of these artists short shrift by reviewing so few of their albums but it's only fair for me to talk about the ones I have on hand right now. Trying to write about what I used to have is a rum go since we'd be dealing with wax that I had 15 or 20 years ago. I don't feel right commenting on anything I haven't listened to recently, so that restricts me to the library that The MND and I have collected. That being said there is so much good music out there that I may do columns about stuff I can only get digitally right now. Since that takes almost 60 GB it shouldn't be hard to find topics.
