First Look: 2012 Nissan NV200
Ford's Transit Connect Gets a Competitor
Ford effectively created the "small cargo van" market in the U.S. by launching the Transit Connect, but the competition isn't going to sit around and let Dearborn take over the growing market. Nissan plans to jump in next year with a global van of its own, the new NV200.
The announcement shouldn't exactly come as a surprise. Nissan first started rolling out its commercial vehicle aspirations in 2009. While most media outlets were fixated on the big, Titan-based full-size product developed explicitly for North America, officials were indicating there was a possibility the small NV200/Vanette, which was concurrently launching in overseas markets, could find its way stateside in the future. That possibility grew even stronger last year, when a modified version of the NV200 was selected by New York City as its chosen successor to the venerable Ford Crown Victoria taxi.
Unlike its larger siblings, the NV200 lives up to the compact van moniker Nissan uses within its press materials. In fact, it's actually built upon a modified version of Nissan's B-segment architecture, which underpins other Nissan small cars like the Juke, Cube, and Versa hatchback. NV200s still utilize MacPherson-type struts up front, although the torsion beam rear suspension is ditched in favor of leaf springs in order to boost payload to an estimated 1500 pounds.
North American NV200s are relatively compact, but they will be slightly larger than those sold in other corners of the globe. For instance, the 115.2-inch wheelbase is about 2.6 inches longer than in other markets. Overall length, which measures in at 186.2 inches, is about 7.9 inches longer than before. That stretch pays dividends not only for the NV200's livery aspirations, but also for commercial clients. Nissan says there's roughly 123 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats; though exact cargo dimensions have yet to be announced, the automaker says there's enough space between the wheel wells to lay a standardized 40-by-48-inch cargo pallet.
Although NV200s are offered with a wide variety of engine choices (including a few frugal diesel options), those sold in our market will be locked down to a single powerplant and transmission. Power comes courtesy of a sixteen-valve, DOHC 2.0-liter I-4, similar to that offered in most Sentra models. Nissan's preliminary specifications suggest the engine may be slightly detuned to about 135 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. As is the case in so many of Nissan's B-segment offerings, that power is sent to the front wheels by way of a continuously-variable transmission.
Nissan's larger NV vans drew praise for a functional cargo area and a renewed focus on the driver, and it appears the NV200 may follow in their footsteps. Dual sliding side doors are standard, as are 40/60 split-opening rear doors that open as far as 180 degrees. Integrated mounting points in the body structure facilitate installing shelves and racks, while floor-mounted tie-downs provide anchor points for securing cargo. Nissan touts the functionality of a low load floor; if similar to European-spec NV200 models, expect liftover to be around 20 inches.
Up front, the driver is treated to an upright seating position, along with a six-way, manually adjustable bucket seat (the passenger seat is only adjustable in four ways). A tall center console provides two cup holders, storage for a laptop and hanging file folders, a pen/pencil tray, and -- if so equipped -- a second 12-volt power outlet. The passenger seat can fold flat to serve as a work surface, and also hides a pull-out storage bin beneath its cushion. Power windows; anti-lock brakes; and front, side, and side curtain airbags are standard on all models. The upgraded SV trim adds niceties like keyless entry, cruise control, a rear cargo floor mat, and wheelcovers. Depending on the trim level, buyers can add optional extras including body-colored bumpers, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, a navigation system, XM satellite ratio, and a back-up camera.
Nissan's correct in suggesting the compact cargo van market -- in North America, at least -- is a relatively new segment that's growing fairly quickly, but it's far from the lone contender in the market. Ford's Transit Connect, which arrived on our shores in 2009, is currently one of the only players in the segment, but Chrysler's Ram brand did recently announce it would sell a version of the Fiat Doblo -- a similar-sized commercial vanlet -- by 2013 at the very latest.
Though the NV200 may soon be afloat in a sea of similar competitors, expect what you see here to remain but the tip of the iceberg. The taxi-ready variant is expected to hit city streets by 2014, and Nissan's also hinted that an electric version, powered by the same driveline used in the electric Leaf hatchback, could likely go into production in the near future. For now, the cargo van is just the first step in Nissan's big plan for small vans. Expect production to begin in Cuernavaca, Mexico, later this year with deliveries beginning in early 2013.

By Tiernan Ray
Krzanich's talk followed a talk earlier in the day by Intel exec Mooly Eden about the things Intel is doing in "perceptual computing," and a little teasing of a partnership with 3-D printing company 3D Systems (DDD).
Lights go down, pounding music comes on. Gary Shapiro, head of the Association, comes on stage to introduce Krzanich. Shapiro gave a brief history of Intel's history, going back to Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, though he did stumble over Krzanich's name a bit.
Krzanich segways immediately into a high-octane video across all three screens to let people know what he means by his claim that a "new world" is being built. Lots of snazzy graphics that look a bit like a Nova special on the birth of the galaxy.
The idea of computing as something you carry or that sits on your desk is about to change, he says. He wants the audience to be "immersed" in "experiences," for which, he says, he is prepared to "take some risks."
He wants to talk about how working, living and playing are changing. To start, he delves into wearable computing. It has suffered as a product category because it hasn't solved real problems.
The answer, he says, is simple: "make everything smart." The answer, smart ear buds! A young woman comes on stage to show of the ear buds. Indira, she is one of the developers of the technology at Intel. Built into the ear buds are sensors that do things such as measure heart rate. The point is that there is no charging of the device — it's charged by the smartphone that it's plugged into.
A second device is a wireless Bluetooth headset that is constantly listening for natural language instructions. Think Google Now. Larry, the Intel expect demonstrating, seems to parse the instructions and offers very intelligent-sounding responses in a high-class female British accent. The device is nicknamed "Jarvis."
These wearables raise the problem of how to charge all these gizmos. Intel has developed a prototype wireless charging "bowl." It is rather like a slate gray salad bowl. You toss the device into the bowl and it just starts charging.
What about a watch? asks Krzanich. "We've got it," he says, and produces a black wristwatch with a color display. It is distinguished by having its own connectivity, so that no tethering is required.
It will take lots of partners, says Krzanich. In particular, the company is working with retailer Barney's and fashion design firm Opening Ceremony to make a family of "wrist-worn" smart devices.
Next, Krzanich shows off a computer composed of the company's Quark processor family that fits inside of an SD memory card. Called "Edison," Intel is going to make the device available to developers in the middle of this year.
What can you do with Edison? Krzanich shows off a child's play toy with Edison built into it. A "smart turtle." Like a stealth baby monitor.
It measures breathing rates of the child in their crib, and it sends the data about the child's stats to a coffee mug that the parent is drinking from. The mug lights up in a rhythmic pattern to indicate the status of the baby.
To help spur development of Edison devices, especially wearables, Krzanich announces a contest that will award a total of $1.3 million to multiple winners. The competition, "make it wearable," will also connect the top ten winners to domain-area experts to help them.
Regarding security, Krzanich says the company will start giving away its McAfee security software for use on all manner of mobile devices.
Krzanich moves on to tablets. Restaurant chain Applebee's replaced table service with Intel-based tablets. Krzanich said it improved performance of the restaurant, and raised the average tips paid to the waiters by 15%.
And, as speculated last week, Krzanich said the company will offer support for "dual-OS" systems that run both Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows.
Finally, some clarity on the 3-D printing angle. Intel will provide 3-D scanning technology that will be built into laptops "by the end pd this year." You'll be able to use a tablet, for example, to scan an object, and send it to a 3-D printer.
Krzanich brings on stage the first star guest of the meeting, Jeff Katzenberg of Dreamworks. Katzenberg extolls the great stuff Krzanich and Intel are doing, and how important tech is to film-making, though it's all a bit vague.
Turning to play, Krzanich invites the audience to experience immersion within a story. On the video monitors, a giant whale from the kids' tale "Laviathan" is shown floating above the audience members — the audience has been captured using cameras and the audience has been inserted into the video with the whale.
Next, Krzanich brings up celebrity guest two, hit PC game company Valve's Gabe Newell. He tells Krzanich that Valve's game network, "Steam," now has 65 million users.
Today, Valve announced a series of gaming appliances running on Intel — small devices that serve as consoles for Steam games. Newell says he's very excited to use Intel technology to "bring PC gaming into the living room."
Next, Krzanich says he wants to take a departure, to talk about something that is very important to him personally, but not something often talked about at CES: death in sub-Saharan Africa as a result of the mining of "conflict minerals." The monitors display a series of images — finger on a trigger, a young man apparently lying dead on the ground — and words such as "murdered."
"The minerals are important, but not as important as the lives of the people who work to get them," says Krzanich. He says that after four years of work by Intel on the problem, every Intel processor this year will be "conflict-free." Big applause from the room for that. He invites the industry to try to follow suit.
To end the keynote, Krzanich brings up on stage several innovators, some employees, some Intel prize winners, mostly very young — the youngest, just a boy 14-years old — and calls them innovators in the tradition of Noyce and Moore.
A classy finish to a fairly classy keynote. Maybe one of the better keynotes, in fact, in recent CES history.
Attendees were provided a bit of swag on the way out — an intel "bunny suit" figure in chocolate.

The Amarillo College board of regents approved documents Wednesday that could lead to a partnership with a group of local developers to purchase up to 780 acres of land at the college's East Campus.
In the partnership, Prana Development Group could purchase excess land the college isn't using at 25 cents per foot, which is about three times the current value of the land, said Don Nicholson, who chaired Wednesday's meeting because board chairman John Hicks was ill.
Nicholson said the partnership could be an opportunity for the college to provide money to help students.
"That's our bottom line, to put things together to help our students succeed," he said.
Prana must also agree to the terms in all of the documents the board approved before the partnership can move forward, Nicholson said. According to the agreement, Prana would have to purchase 450 acres within the first 20 years of the 25-year partnership, which would generate about $5 million for Amarillo College.
The board also voted to create the Amarillo Foundation for Education and Business, which would have a five-person board of directors to oversee the partnership. Three of the members would be Amarillo College regents and two would be Prana Development Group representatives.
Regent Bryan Poff pushed for language in one of the documents to restrict Prana from building houses on the land unless it is approved by the foundation board. The board approved the measure.
Poff said he doesn't want Prana to immediately build houses that would compete with the approximately 330 houses the college currently has on the East Campus because it would create competition in that market.
College President Paul Matney said the partnership would be beneficial to the college and the community because it would provide an additional revenue stream for the college, it would bring new businesses to Amarillo, the college could provide workforce training for those businesses and it would increase the tax base in the area. Prana Development Group is comprised of five local executives: Kathy Cornett, Pedro Cunha, Joe Bob McCartt, Alan Rhodes and James Wester.
The Amarillo City Commission also approved a five-year tax abatement Oct. 30 for the limited partnership CPT Blvd 2012, which is affiliated with Prana, for a new industrial building at the CenterPort Business Park near Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.
Nicholson said an agreement between the college and Prana would be a chance for the college to benefit from land that it currently isn't using.
"We're really not in the development business," he said. "We don't want to get into it, but we want to take advantage of opportunities that are there. For me, this is a vehicle that can accomplish that."

April 22, 2011 > Perils of distracted driving
By Meenu GuptaPhoto Courtesy of California Office of Traffic SafetyUse of a wireless device is the prime reason for driver inattention, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Drivers using cell phones are four times as likely to be involved in injury accidents. In April, more than 225 local law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP), are conducting 'zero tolerance' enforcement mobilizations as part of California's Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The fine for a first time texting or hand-held cell phone violation is $159; subsequent tickets cost $279.Chris Cochran, Assistant Director, California Office of Traffic Safety talked to TCV about impaired driving efforts and programs in California. "The legislature has addressed it and since then, all levels of California Government, particularly the California Highway Patrol and Office of Traffic Safety which I'm a part of, have been increasing the amount and frequency of special enforcement and public awareness campaigns," said Cochran. "Most particular is the campaign for both enforcement and public awareness that is occurring now during the month of April," he said. California is currently conducting the nation's first statewide observational distracted driving survey.When asked about the total number of citations issued as part of this campaign, Cochran said, "We don't have a total for the campaign as yet because it just started. The number of citations issued by the California Highway Patrol since the laws came into existence is over 350,000. The number does not include the citations issued by the local Police departments and we figure that that's probably pushing the total number up close to half a million."Cell phone conversations are very different and pose a much higher risk in their level of distraction and effect on drivers when compared to passenger conversations. People talking on cell phones while driving experience "inattention blindness", when your brain can't see what's right in front of you. "Before the laws came into effect California had not done a scientific study as to the number of people who were actually using their cell phones. The Police departments and the CHP estimated that it was almost 10% and the national figures estimated between 10 and 13 percent," Cochran told TCV. "Last summer Office of Traffic Safety conducted a self-reporting opinion survey that asked drivers to tell us what their usage of cell phones while driving were. They reported that 14 percent of them regularly talked on a hand-held cell phone," he said.Studies have shown little difference between the risk associated with hand-held and hands-free devices. It's not where your hands are. It's where your head is. Texting while driving can also delay a driver's reactions as much as having blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08, the same as a drunk driver.Currently it is legal to use a speaker phone. However, it can't just be your cell phone on speaker that you are still holding in your hand. It has to be either a speaker phone built into your car or your cell phone has to be physically out of your hand. California law allows a driver to use a wireless telephone without a hands free device to make emergency calls to a law enforcement agency, a medical provider, the fire department or other emergency services agencies. In the case of an emergency, drivers should pull over before making a call, if the situation safely permits. Using one of the many apps available, such as IZUP or OTTER, to hold your messages is a good option for focused driving. "Starting this month with the latest campaign we hope to lessen the number of crashes as much as possible," said Cochran.

I was just wondering if anyone might have a idea about what my car is doing. It feels as if the car is swerving or being pulled from one side to the other. This just developed today when I was driving to school and just had to keep correcting the steering wheel. My car does need an alignment and my tires are starting to get a little worn but it seems like I would have had this problem a while ago instead of it starting now. I think that my suspension is in need of some attention but I dont think that suspension could do this.
For a little more detail on my problem.
I noticed that it gets worse at higher speeds 55-65 was a little nervous at points driving back from school
You can feel it in city driving but it not that severe.
I had a really bad rumble in my car a few weeks ago which would only happen when I hit 55-65 again. I re-balanced my tires and it made no change a first but now it seems a little more intermittent.
I dont know if this helps or not but figured I would see if there is any relationship.
I havent had a chance to get my car on to a lift and check out my suspension, but was going to try and jack up my car and look around today.
I was just wondering what things I should look out for that would tie in my complaint.
If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.
I know this is a vague description but for right now this seems to be the best description I can think of.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disease of unknown etiology that is estimated to affect 17 million people worldwide.
Studying peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from CFS patients, we identified DNA from a human gammaretrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV), in:
• 68 of 101 patients (67%),
• Compared to 8 of 218 (3.7%) healthy controls.
Cell culture experiments revealed that patient-derived XMRV is infectious and that both cell associated and cell-free transmission of the virus are possible.
Secondary viral infections were established in uninfected primary lymphocytes and indicator cell lines following exposure to activated PBMCs, B cells, T cells, or plasma derived from CFS patients.
These findings raise the possibility that XMRV may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of CFS.

Clark has earned three of Harvard's Ivy League leading five player of the week honors this season (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore Christine Clark was named the Ivy League Player of the Week for the third time this season on Monday after posting back-to-back 20-point performances.
Clark registered her third double-double of the year, and second in as many games, on Friday with 20 points and 10 rebounds at Brown. She backed that performance up with a 23-point, seven-rebound effort on Saturday as the Crimson cruised to a 71-51 win at Yale, marking the team's largest margin of victory in New Haven since 1997. Clark connected on 17-of-25 attempts over the weekend, including a 10-of-12 showing against the Bulldogs, as she averaged 21.5 ppg and 8.5 rpg.
Clark has been named the conference's player of the week three times this season, one shy of earning a place among the Ivy League's top 10. She is averaging 15.9 ppg, 5.9 rpg and 1.7 spg, all career-highs, after picking up three Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors last season and being named to the Ivy League All-Rookie team. Harvard has earned a total of five player of the week awards this season, most in the conference, with senior Brogan Berry also having earned the distinction twice.

LG 3D TV ads misled buyers, judges watchdog
Passive 3D can't be 1080p 'full HD'
Posted in Personal Tech, 1st February 2012 11:24 GMT
LG has had is knuckles rapped by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) following a complaint made about its 3D TVs by
consumers arch-rival telly maker Samsung.
The bigger of the two South Korean giants said LG was wrong to say the Cinema 3D TV, which uses passive 3D technology, could produce a "full HD 3D picture" or that its wide viewing angle would allow viewers to "sit where you want, how you want" and still get "the same immersive experience".
These claims, Samsung said, mislead consumers.
LG said neither Samsung allegation was valid, but while the ASA agreed with LG about the claim that punters can sit where they please, it sided with Samsung on the use of "full HD".
LG argued that "full HD" is a generic term for a device with a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen, and that was true even though its passive 3D TVs show two 1920 x 540 images simultaneously since both appear on a 1920 x 1080 screen.
The ASA was unmoved, and insisted that a full HD picture means not merely a 1920 x 1080 screen but also an image that's at least 1920 x 1080 on that screen.
The agency also said LG was wrong to state that the 3D picture was 1080p when, by its use of passive 3D technology, which interlaces right- and left-eye images, so the 3D view is, at best, 1080i.
LG was told not to advertise its passive 3D TVs using this terminology, and to make it more clear to consumers that its tellies use passive not active 3D. ®

Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay Lightning avoid winless trip, top Devils
NEWARK, N.J. - Tampa Bay finally found something positive. Nate Thompson had his first career two-goal game while Alex Killorn, B.J. Crombeen and Marty St. Louis also scored as the Lightning defeated New Jersey 5-2 on Tuesday at Prudential Center in front of an announced crowd of 15,229.It marked the first victory for the Lightning since beating Carolina on Feb. 23. Tampa Bay ended a four-game road trip with a 1-3 record. The victory allowed Tampa Bay to stop a five-game slide while extending the Devils' winless streak to six games. It was the first win for Tampa Bay against a non-division opponent this season in 12 road games, in which the the Lightning improved to 4-8. The Bolts went on cruise control after building a 4-0 lead before New Jersey scored twice late in the third period to make it a close game. Anders Lindback stopped 25 shots for the victory in his first start since being pulled in the first period on Feb. 24. Crombeen put the game away with an empty net goal with 1:20 left for his first of the season. Tampa Bay did not start the game well, getting hemmed in on the opening shift which led to Sami Salo flipping the puck over the glass for a delay of game penalty 32 seconds into the period. But the Lightning were able to kill off the New Jersey power play, allowing the Devils two shots on goal, including an Ilya Kovalchuck attempt that went off the mask of Lindback. The Lightning managed to open the scoring late in the period when rookie Ondrej Palat, in his second game, pressured New Jersey defenseman Bryce Salvador in the right corner and took the puck off his stick. Palat got it to Cory Conacher, who fed Thompson at the top of the crease for his fourth goal of the season at 17:04 of the first period. After misfiring on a power play attempt 41 seconds into the second period, the Lightning built a two-goal lead seconds after averting disaster in their own zone. St. Louis put the puck in front of his own net where it was mishandled by Killorn. But Lindback poked it back onto the stick of Killorn, who brought it up the ice, fed Vinny Lecavalier in the neutral zone then received a return pass inside the offensive zone. Killorn cut back above the crease to feed St. Louis, who kicked the puck to his stick and put it past Hedberg at 5:53. Killorn then struck again, absorbing a hit in the corner before collecting the puck and wheeling out to the front of the net to put a puck on frame that found a hole under Hedberg at 13:13 to give Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead. It also ended the night for Hedberg after he allowed three goals on 11 shots before giving way to rookie Keith Kinkaid for his NHL debut. The three-goal lead held through the first two periods � just the third time this season Tampa Bay has held a team scoreless through two periods � despite some late antics by the Devils, including David Clarkson goading Keith Aulie into a fight, and a suspendable charging call on Cam Janssen, who left his feet and made contact with Conacher�s head late in the period. Steven Stamkos had the chance to make it 4-0 early in third when he blocked an Adam Larsson shot and outraced the young defense up the ice for the puck and came in on a breakaway. But after Stamkos made a pump fake deke to his forehand, Kinkaid kept his left pad along the ice up against the post against to stop the shot from the league�s leading goal scorer.

Katie admits she's worried about Bill going to prison and leaving her alone to raise their son, but she doesn't think Donna would go to the police. Bill wants to focus on the baby. Katie can't stop wondering how the husband she loves so much can be the same man who does these things. Bill says he won't stop protecting his family.
In Rick's office, Othello tells him that Hope needs to know nothing happened between Steffy and Liam that night at the club. He doesn't like lying, and wonders why Rick doesn't feel bad. Rick suggests they just drop it. Othello refuses. Talk turns to Thomas spending time with Hope and possibly leaving Caroline. Othello tells Rick he manipulates like Bill Spencer. Rick insists he's nothing like that guy and says Caroline's not his priority - his sister is. Rick begs Othello to let sleeping dogs lie.
Donna searches for Hope inside Brooke's house and then heads out back. She spots Steffy's shoes on the lawn and Liam's orange trail and keeps going.
In the cabin, Steffy tells Liam he looks happy. He says he is. They talk about how great the place is and how much she loves it. Steffy is glad he's there. She tells him how when she lived with Brooke as a child, she and Ridge used to come down there to get away from everything. Steffy tells him Sinatra used to play cards there with Gregory Peck too - even Bob Hope was in the cabin. Liam enthuses that he's never washing his hands again. Steffy pulls out the cards Ridge taught her to play poker with. Liam says there's nowhere else he'd rather be. They play cards and make jokes. Liam tells Steffy he loves her. She says she loves him too and they make love passionately. Donna appears at the window and sees them!

Bill worries that Donna will expose him.
Liam and Steffy have no idea their reconnection was witnessed.

Helen of Troy Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of household products, has finalized plans to build a 1.3 million-square-foot distribution facility in Olive Branch.
The $37 million facility will be constructed on a 77-acre site in the Whispering Woods development on Polk Lane in DeSoto County. CB Richard Ellis Memphis brokers Patrick Burke, Tommy Jackson and Jim Mercer represented Panattoni Development Co. in the land sale and build-to-suit negotiations to Helen of Troy, which closed on Dec. 28.
The facility, Helen of Troy's second in Mississippi, is expected to be complete by December. The company also operates a 1.2 million-square-foot distribution facility in Southaven and a 500,000-square-foot distribution center in Memphis, used to support a significant portion of its domestic distribution.
Helen of Troy is based in Bermuda with its U.S. headquarters, Helen of Troy L.P., in El Paso, Texas. Helen of Troy products include Dr Scholls, Health o Meter, Revlon, Sunbeam, Vidal Sassoon, Idelle Labs, OXO, Hot Tools and Wigo.
With the addition of its new 1.3 million-square-foot distribution center, Helen of Troy will have a total of 2.5 million square feet of owned and operated distribution capacity in DeSoto County, Helen of Troy chairman, CEO and president Gerald J. Rubin said in a statement. The project will create more than 300 new jobs.
"This is a significant commitment for Helen of Troy and we will continue to benefit from the skilled workforce, logistics infrastructure and geographic attractiveness of DeSoto County," Rubin said.
The Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance for site preparation and relocation needs related to the project through the Mississippi Industry Incentive Financing Revolving Fund. The agency also provided assistance for infrastructure improvements through the Development Infrastructure Program, as well as job training assistance.
The city of Olive Branch and DeSoto County also provided assistance in support of the project.
CBRE Memphis brokers indicate that build-to-suit interest has been positive.
"In the last several months we have discussed build-to-suit transactions with numerous firms, particularly in the north Mississippi area," Jackson said. "We made several proposals for smaller buildings, and it appears that our patience allowed us to be in a strong position to win this large deal."
Burke added that Panattoni's Whispering Woods site is an ideal location for Helen of Troy and one that can accommodate a building larger than 1 million square feet.
"We think our market will see additional build-to-suit deals in 2013," Burke said.
In addition to the 1.3-million-square-foot Helen of Troy facility, Panattoni's Tennessee/Mississippi team, led by partner Whitfield Hamilton, has a 400,000-square-foot facility under construction in Knoxville, as well as 1.5 million square feet of deals starting in Nashville.

Don't Forget the Ladies...Finding and Identifying the Women in Your Past
Female ancestors are often the keepers of family traditions, heirlooms, photographs, memories, and records. Finding and identifying them, however, can be difficult since women lose their surname and property through marriage. On September 17, Nancy C. Nelson and Carol M. Sheaffer, who have a combined 50 years experience in genealogical research, will share tips and advice for helping you identify your female ancestors and their family of origin.
Using Civil War Records to Research African American Ancestors
Discover the role African American soldiers played in the U.S. Civil War, and what can be learned from records about their military service. This workshop on September 24 will be led by Michael Hait, a professional genealogical researcher, writer, and lecturer, specializing in African American genealogy and Civil War records.
You Located the Ancestral Village of Your Ancestor – Now What?
Now that you've identified the ancestral village of your ancestor, how do you find more information? This lecture on October 1, given by award-winning author, researcher, lecturer, and teacher Nancy Lee Waters Lauer, will explore the next steps in researching ancestral homelands and overcoming barriers like language and an ocean.

By picking more batsman in there XI and having the team tactic of occupying the crease, not worrying about batting run rates and bowling negatively.
SL could play.
1. Parana
2. Kara
3. Sanga
4. Mahela
5. Black Magic
6. Dilshan
7. Thirimanne
8. Mathews
9. Chandimal
10. Herath
11. Kulasekera
Overs to be bowled predominately by Kulasekera, Herath, Dilshan and Mathews. Bowl negatively and to a ring field.
I think batting down to 9 means that the opponent trying to force the pace will not want to declare too early with the extra batting strength.
Obviously this is such a negative tactic and I would hate a team doing this at home, but I honestly think that its a plausible option for a few countries who have weak attacks when playing away from home, preventing 3-0 loses.
If Cricket ever ends up ever having a Test Championship, just say with points awarded like in football with 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, this would be the equivalent of a poor team parking the bus in front of the goals.
Crazy, Stupid? no, no.

It's a bird… It's a plane… no, it's just some guy skydiving from 23 miles out of the Earth's stratosphere. Seriously, that may be what you hear this summer when Austrian skydiver, Felix Baumgartner, attempts to break the world record's longest jump by freefalling 120,000 feet.
The jump will take place over Roswell, N.M., which somehow seems fitting, and must be executed according to a strict plan. During an interview with NPR, Baumgartner explained the details of his preparation saying,
"I show up at 2 o'clock in the morning, so the first thing that we're going to do is a medical check. Then I'm getting dressed up. My suit guy, he's dressing me up, which is a really serious moment because my suit is the only thing that protects me as soon as I leave my space capsule. Then I have to breathe pure – 100 percent oxygen to get rid of all the nitrogen bubbles in my blood system. If the balloon is ready to launch, I'm getting into the capsule itself, then it takes another two hours and a half until I reach altitude." *
Baumgartner continued to describe how the suit will also need to be pressurized at the same moment to prevent his blood from "boiling" during the jump, and once all systems are in alignment, he must make his leap immediately, no time for hesitation, because he's only equipped with 10 minutes of oxygen. Of course, 10 minutes doesn't sound like much, but when you're falling at speeds of over 700 miles per hour (breaking the sound barrier) that's about all the time you need.
With so many risks, this is really an all-or-nothing stunt, but Baumgartner feels confident and is no stranger to the world of skydiving as he's already completed a drop of over 72,000 feet and gone through many test jumps.
Besides breaking the longest jump record (currently held by Col. Joe Kittinger from his 102,000-foot jump in 1960), he also plans to set new records for the first person to break the sound barrier out of an aircraft, the highest manned balloon flight, and the longest free fall.
Additionally, Baumgartner hopes his jump will help scientists better understand the effects our atmosphere's extreme environment has on the human body.
What's your opinion? Does Baumgartner have a worthwhile goal, or does he have too much time, money, or both on his hands?

I guess my stance is that this is "known issue" without a resolution except "figure it out yourself", and to me that's just not ok. College is just too expensive, too time consuming and too intricate for "known problems" to just be par for the course. I mean what recourse does a student have? Drop out? Spend hundreds applying somewhere else or even hundreds reapplying next semester once the issues are resolved?
I supervise a college advising center and the idea that a student doesn't want to follow our suggestions and we should just "do it for them" because they are "paying our salaries or paying for our services" grates on me to no end. They are there to get an education, if they choose not to take ownership when they have been given options then it is on the student, not the staff member.
Think of it this way:Let's say you went to the grocery store and used the self service check out kiosk. It was known to be flaky. You asked for help and then someone said "Did you try another kiosk?" You are trying to purchase something from the store and they are making it difficult for you to do so.Same thing at the University...they are trying to purchase classes and cannot use the system to sign up for them. Of course they get frustrated! The customer/student sees that you have put in a difficult system and they just see the university putting all the work back on them.
And I may have missed something, but I don't think the OP mentioned that the system was flaky. She said she knew of problems some students were having, but not whether those problems were due to system error or user error.
Since OP hasn't reported a general uprising over the registration system not working, my first suspicion is PEBKM*.
We always called it PICNIC (Problem In Chair, Not In Computer).

DeKALB – In addition to practical things taught in the classroom, Laura Vazquez hopes her passion for drawing attention to issues such as homelessness and sexual assault is something her students pick up.
"I go and say, 'Let's put a light on this,' " said Vazquez, a communication professor at Northern Illinois University and documentary filmmaker. "... I believe in activism, and I want to pass that on to my students."
Vazquez was honored recently by the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth with its Distinguished Service and Leadership Award for her work documenting the plight of homeless women and children.
Vazquez, who said she was honored and humbled by the award, has produced documentaries "My Own Four Walls," "on the edge" and "The Littlest Nomads" with Diane Nilan, president of HEAR US Inc. The two have spent countless hours talking with and filming women and children in homeless shelters around the country.
"What we're trying to do is not keep these things secret," Vazquez said.
Nilan, whose HEAR US organization works to give voice and visibility to homeless youth, said there are many misconceptions surrounding homelessness. She credited Vazquez with drawing attention to an issue that she said is "not a one-size-fits-all crisis."
"She has enabled the stories of women and kids in homeless situations to be told," Nilan said. "They're stories that otherwise wouldn't be heard."
Spending time in homeless shelters has been life-changing for Vazquez. At one shelter, she spoke with a woman who had seven children, which "turned this room into a dormitory," she said.
It can be a challenge to get people to care about the homeless, Vazquez said, but the country's economic crisis has drawn more attention to it. People are hesitant to talk about class.
"And I think homelessness is part of class," she said. "We see people who are homeless as inferior, right? And I think after this crisis, we see it differently. That's my kid, that's my sister. You take it much more personally."
The intergenerational nature of homelessness in America is something Vazquez wants to see addressed. There tends to be a pattern of instability: If a mother raises her children in a homeless shelter, those children often grow up and do the same.
"This country needs to stop that," she said.
When she and Nilan set up a camera at one shelter and asked women to talk about their lives, Vazquez noticed many were victims of sexual assault as children.
"That was the bottom of every story," she said. "It became clear to me that this was the pattern."
Her next focus is sexual assault on college campuses. With $15,000 in grant money, Vazquez and a group of NIU students are working to produce a film or films about the culture of rape and sexual assault on college campuses.
Student Nick Fleming is a communication major who is part of the group working on that project. He called Vazquez an "advocate for everybody" and said she empowers and motivates students.
"It's heavy stuff, but when you've got somebody that's as driven as her, it's that much easier," he said of the sexual assault project.

MIAMI (AP) -- In his season finale, Miami Marlins rookie sensation Jose Fernandez pitched seven innings, hit his first major-league homer and engaged in a standoff with the annoyed Atlanta Braves that cleared both benches and bullpens.
When he had completed his eventful evening, Fernandez slowly walked off the mound one last time, removing his cap as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Two relievers pitched the final two innings, and the woeful Marlins beat the playoff-bound Braves 5-2.
The game was the last of the season for the demonstrative 21-year-old Fernandez because he passed his 170-inning limit set by the Marlins. A top candidate for NL Rookie of the Year, he finished 12-6 with an ERA of 2.19, second-lowest in the majors behind only the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw.

Ofcom to borrow cup o' spectrum for Olympics
Using less than a third the engineers Beijing had
Ofcom is laying the groundwork for the London Olympics, outlining plans to borrow radio spectrum, but will be running the event with a fraction of the engineering resource of its Chinese predecessor.
The UK government promised free radio spectrum as part of its bid to host the 2012 Olympics, but has left it up to Ofcom to arrange the details, which include borrowing spectrum from the MoD and pushing into the Digital Dividends, and policing the whole thing with only 32 engineers compared to Beijing's complement of more than 300.
But that's OK 'cos other countries will be expected to chip in some technical support too. Add those people in, plus a few old chaps brought out of retirement, and the UK will be fielding an "especially large team" team of 90 - that's "especially large" compared to Ofcom's usual staff, not Beijing obviously.
That's just field engineers of course - the operation will mostly be about paper-pushing and ensuring everyone knows which band they're supposed to be using. Ofcom estimates it's going to need 350 wireless microphones, 75 HD video streams (three airborne) and 781 talkback channels for the games, so will be filling every spare frequency it can find.
The Apollo network, a mobile telephone network being built specifically for the running of the Games, has been up and running for the last six months (at 385MHz), but at least no one was interested in running an Olympic DAB radio station, or ever fulfilled Boris Johnson's dream of broadcast video sent to the phones of spectators who couldn't get a decent view. Both those services were offered free radio spectrum, but despite that no one was interested in offering either of them.
Just managing who gets which frequency is a major logistical challenge, and one which is open to abuse in the famously incestuous world of entertainment technology: it's hard to impartially allocate spectrum when one might have been working, or hope to work, for one of the companies involved.
Luckily there's plenty of space where analogue TV used to be, which hasn't yet been sold off, and the MoD will lend some of the huge swaths of radio spectrum it has allocated, so as long as no more than 32 people break the rules at the same time everything should be just fine. ®

Reno, NV—The City of Reno and the Historic Reno Preservation Society will mark the 150th anniversary of the death of the City's namesake Friday, September 14, at 10:00 a.m. at Powning Park, at the corner of South Virginia Street and Pine Street. Powning Park is the site of a life-sized statue of Major General Jesse Lee Reno.
According to a press release from the City of Reno, the brief ceremony will include a keynote speech by Bill Isaeff of the Historic Reno Preservation Society, and comments by Guy Rocha, retired State Archivist for the State of Nevada.
Reno was killed leading his troops in battle September 14, 1862, during the U.S. Civil War. Three days later at the battle of Antietam, the Union troops' battle cry was "Remember Reno!" in memory of their fallen leader. In 1868 when the Central Pacific Railroad came through a growing town called Lake's Crossing on the Truckee River in Northern Nevada, a proper townsite was laid out and the town was renamed after the Civil War hero.
The sesquicentennial ceremony Friday will also include a color guard, and the laying of flowers at the monument to Reno.

A Bronx Tale Details
When it comes to theater, it doesn't get any more New York than Chazz Palminteri's classic A Bronx Tale. The play tells the story of Calogero Anello, a working-class kid from the Bronx, deals with coming-of-age themes such as father-son relationships and the temptations of crime. First staged Off-Broadway as a one-man show in the '80s, the play was adapted for a 1993 film starring Palminteri and Robert De Niro that launched to Palminteri to success as a screen actor; he went on to star in movies like The Usual Suspects and Analyze This. In 2007, Palminteri brought the solo show to Broadway, where he starred in 108 performances before taking the play on a national tour.
Audiences today have the chance to experience the timeless uptown tale in a whole new way, as Palminteri teamed with Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act) to adapt A Bronx Tale into a Broadway musical at Longacre Theatre on West 48th Street. The show brings in a variety of new perspectives thanks to its expansion from a one-man affair, including those of Colagero's father Lorenzo, played by Richard A. Blake (Jersey Boys) and local thug Sonny, played by Nick Cordero (Bullets Over Broadway). Hudson Loverro plays Young Calogero, and Bobby Conte Thornton plays the role of his teenage counterpart. The New York Times labeled the show as an NYT Critic's Pick in December of 2016. "Public service announcement: If you're already mourning the imminent closing of 'Jersey Boys,' this is the show for you," writes critic Charles Isherwood.

Moko, the resident bottlenose dolphin at Mahia, was the heroine of the day last week.
The amazing story of how a dolphin helped save a stranded pygmy sperm whale mother and her calf made news headlines in NZ – and was even picked up by media around the world!
Read the story here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4436390a11.html
The area around Mahia, on NZ's east coast of the North Island, is a hot spot for whale strandings. Pygmy sperm whales in particular strand here quite often. If you're not sure where Mahia is, check out the big strandings hot spot map in the Whales Tohorä exhibition at Te Papa.
Malcolm Smith, from the Department of Conservation, with the help of locals tried to refloat the whales several times – but each time they restranded. When Moko showed up, it seems the dolphin was able to help the whales find their way safely back out to sea.
So what does a pygmy sperm whale look like? In our office the Whales team have a mascot – an old museum model of a pygmy sperm whale calf, shown here with its 'keeper', Lucy Ryan.
And if you come and visit the exhibition, in the 'Feeding' interactive you can see a video clip of a young pygmy sperm whale being hand fed.

December 26, 2012
ELLENSBURG, Wash. -- Central Washington University's Central Theatre Ensemble (CTE) production of Icarus: A New Noh in English was selected to participate in the 44th regional conference of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) to be held in Sacramento, California, in February. Icarus was one of only four productions selected for the conference, out 217 productions submitted by 64 colleges throughout the region.
Icarus: A New Noh in English, directed by CWU Theatre Arts Professor George Bellah 3, was created after several years of intensive training in the style of traditional Japanese Noh theatre. It premiered on March 1, 2012, on CWU's Ellensburg campus, and was subsequently performed at the Asian Studies Development Program International Conference, in Seattle, on March 30, 2012.
Bellah was eager to fuse the Western myth and Eastern performance style together in a single piece of drama. He has studied the performance aspects of Noh, a form of classical Japanese dance theatre, with the Noh Training Project, in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, since 2008. He has spent considerable time in Japan studying with Noh teachers, including a month-long sojourn in Tokyo.
The play was written by Elise Forier-Edie, CWU theatre arts professor. She has won playwriting awards from the Columbia Entertainment Company, Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission, and others. Forier-Edie has twice been invited to develop her works at the National Playwright's Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center in Waterford, Connecticut. Kevin Salfen, professor, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas, created a compelling score that deftly combines Eastern and Western musical motifs and provides a subtle counterpoint to the enduring themes of Icarus.
CTE last entered a production for festival consideration in fall 2007, and was invited to perform at the February 2008 KCACTF Region VII Festival held in Laramie, Wyoming. KCACTF Region VII consists of colleges and universities from Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, northern Nevada, and northern California.
The goals of this national theater education program are to identify and promote quality in college-level theater production. Productions at the participating level are eligible for inclusion at the KCACTF regional festival and can also be considered for invitation to the KCACTF national festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, and other awards, in the spring of 2013. Last year more than 1,300 productions were entered in the KCACTF involving more than 200,000 students nationwide.
CWU is the only state institution that offers a bachelor of fine arts in theatre and has 121 majors specializing in general studies, design and production, performance, and musical theatre.

This is that intro video that Sony presented at the very beginning of the PS4 reveal meeting. It showcases Sony's direction & the rich history that the brand has with its games.
I don't know about you guys but watching this gave me tingly feelings of those memories that the Playstation brand has provided for close to 20 years.
I feel honored & proud to be a gamer...T_T
when i heard the intro for ps1 i orgasm how much i missed that sound
I've played nearly every game shown in that video. I love Sony Computer Entertainment more than any human being should love a company.
Long live PlayStation.
a strong jab
"we didn't build a box"(xbox)
"we build the most amazing place to play"(playstation)
that must have hurt lol..

Unbelievable game, everything that happened. Imagine if this was a final instead of just the quarters!
USA- Brazil
just in case anyone is going to watch it taped I won't discuss it, but it was one of the most epic sporting events I've seen.

Unbelievable game, everything that happened. Imagine if this was a final instead of just the quarters!
The indian looking superstar who whined about everything
the chick who got on the stretcher after the fake injury and jumped back in the game laughing
the chick who was holding her knee and crying right before the regulation whistle blew, who then got up laughing as if to say "well I tried"
and of course the ref ....
I see what you're saying, but the "gamesmanship" is to be expected when trying to run out the clock. Not discounting Marta is a whiny *****. Crowd went big anti Brazil by the end of it.
Worst officiating I can remember. Just horrible.
Amazing drama at any level. Very happy for them.
Hope Solo is super sexy
lebanese or not
More horsesh*t calls against our national teams aside. Awesome finish. That's why we love sports!

lets stick with football fella's..hopefully 2 weeks away...then we wont have to worry bout womens soccer
Honestly, it might be in my top 10 games in any sport of all time.
Much Love and respect to all them ladies.
Hope Solo is a beast and can sleep over my house anytime she wants.
What they did today was amazing. With 10 players....FTW!!!
Bad calls are bad calls, they happen. But watching that brazilian player get off on a stretcher because her "back hurt" was outright galling. It made me so happy to see the US score during the time that she obviously created with her fake injury.
I'm still wallowing over the US loss to Ghana, I'm glad the ladies beat Brazil. But it was kind of awesome to watch the German fans turn on Brazil because of their behavior on the field. I haven't seen fans turn like that since the Drago Vs. Balboa fight in 1985
In any case, I just hope that US - France is fair match without any controversy. Let the best team win!

Julie Foudy made that match bearable to be honest...
I remember her remarking as the first ET was winding down how she feels this team, even 1 down has a chance...She referenced watching Japan, Germany the night before and feeling Germany never had a shot.
There's no way this team is as good as the '99 team that Foudy was on but it took US Soccer just that much farther yesterday morning... Hopefully, with two WC 'near miracles' it will finally peak peoples interest on what an amazing sport soccer is on a global scale...
Re-watched the miracle on ice and was thinking the level of play was actually disappointing.
Not going to overanalyze and just enjoy it for what it is/was.

Gandhinagar, Sep 9 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal Monday demanded that a central government body that decides the prices of farm produce must be made autonomous.
Speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Agriculture Summit here, Badal accused the Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices (CACP) of never consulting states while deciding the minimum support price of foodgrain.
"This body should be (made) autonomous," he said, addressing a vast audience at the Mahatma Mandir auditorium as CACP head Ashok Gulati shared the dais with Chief Minister Narendra Modi and many others.
"The government should not decide the minimum support price," Badal went on. "The autonomous body should have genuine representatives of our farmers."
The chief minister accused the CACP and the central government of not paying farmers enough for their produce.
"Are your decisions right?" he asked, looking towards Gulati. "Do you know how much diesel and other input costs have gone up?
"We are not even consulted regarding the pricing (of foodgrain)," he added.
Badal criticized the central government's suggestion that farmers in Punjab should give up rice cultivation in view of depleting water table.
"It's easy to say 'don't grow paddy'. But when there was a crisis in agriculture, the farmer was told to grow paddy. Now that the farmer is in crisis, should not the government come to his help?
"Yes, diversification in farming will help. But can there be diversification minus funds?"
Badal accused the central government of pursuing "a step motherly" policy towards farmers.
He added that he would like to emulate Narendra Modi and host the next Global Agriculture Summit in Punjab in February 2014.

Being enthusiastic after having tested Sabayon fouroh I did an installation on my PC. I'm using Linux for several years and have several systems installed: Debian lenny, Kubuntu, Studio, Mint, Sidux, each on its own partition. All systems use an additional partition for /home. Every Users has its individual name on the /home partition. This went well for years.
But now Sabayon seems to have changed some config files of other users at other systems! Unbelievable ! GRRRRRR.
When I try to start one of the other systems at first there is an error message that the kde 3.5 session is not valid any more. Not a big problem, you can reassign the default session. But trying to use the email-client brings a horror. The account is not accessible any more, mails are gone (well, physically they are still there, but as i said: not accessible any more). GRRRRR 2.
And the third thing is: The default startpage of any browser of any user of any other system is set to sabayon! Help me!
I want back my controls!!
How can this happen????
How can I get back???

Submission + - RFP for NASA-based MMORPG (nasa.gov) 2
Teancum writes: "I'm sure that a large number of Slashdot regulars are familiar with the U.S. Army's MMORPG America's Army. It turns out that NASA has submitted a Request for Proposals for what would be a NASA-themed MMORPG of its own. So would you ever want to write your own video game and get paid for it? The deadline for the RfP is February 15th, so get your word processors busy with a proposal of your own. The specific objective of this request is as follows:
If there is anybody suited for developing a game like this, I can't imagine a better group than the slashdot crowd to try and come up with some outstanding proposals, and have the technical expertise to pull this off. This certainly doesn't deserve to get thrown onto the traditional dust heap of educational proposals for a half-baked game that nobody will actually play.""A NASA-based MMO built on a game engine that includes powerful physics capabilities could support accurate in-game experimentation and research. It should simulate real NASA engineering and science missions in a medium that is comfortable and familiar to the majority of students in the United States today. A NASA-based MMO could provide opportunities for students to investigate STEM career paths while participating in engaging game-play. Through a NASA-based MMO, students will gain insight into a wide range of exciting career opportunities and be encouraged to make educational choices that lead them into STEM fields of study and eventually the STEM careers needed to fulfill NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. Learning Technologies is seeking input on how to accomplish those goals."

Jupiter is the brightest thing in the evening sky this month, except for the moon. Face southwest and look for the brightest point of light there. Mercury makes one of its rare appearances this month. Look southwest at dusk right over the point of sunset to see it. Mars is now high in the west at dawn. It is also brightening as the Earth approaches it. Earth and Mars will align late next month, putting Mars in our sky all night long. Saturn is now high in the east at dawn. Venus is beginning to pass on the far side of the Sun from our perspective. It is now so close to the Sun in our sky that it doesn't rise until after dawn. Look very low in the southeast in morning twilight to see it.
The enormous Summer Triangle, consisting of the stars Deneb, Vega and Altair, sets in the west. The Great Square of Pegasus is overhead at dusk. The star in its upper left hand corner is also the head of Andromeda. Facing north you'll see five stars in a distinct 'M' like shape—that is Cassiopeia, the Queen. Her stars are about as bright as those in the Big Dipper; she is directly across the North Star from the Dipper. Since the Dipper is low and out of sight at dusk this month, Cassiopeia rides high in the sky.
Dazzling Orion rises in the east, reminding us that winter is on the way. His belt points up to Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, the Bull. The Dog Stars Sirius and Procyon rise in the early evening, they rise earlier and earlier as the month goes on, and will appear in the sky below Orion in the east. Sirius is the brightest star we ever see at night.
Moon Phases in December 2009
Full moon Dec. 2, 1:31 a.m.
Dec. 31, 1:13 p.m.
Last quarter Dec. 8, 6:15 p.m.
New moon Dec. 16, 6:02 a.m.
1st quarter Dec. 24, 11:35 a.m.
The new moon of Dec. 16 happens to mark the Islamic New Year. 1 Muharram 1431 A.H. actually begins a few days later, when the crescent moon is first seen just after sunset.
At 11:47 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 21, the Earth's North Pole is tilted away from the sun as much as possible, making the sun as low in our sky as possible. This is the winter solstice, with less daylight for us than any other day of the year. Although December 21 is the shortest day, it does not have the earliest sunset. At Houston's latitude, that occurred yesterday (December 2).

Earth is now about a month away from its closest approach to the sun (perihelion). As it comes slightly closer to the sun, it speeds up a little. This causes sunrise, local noon, and sunset to happen a little later each day. The noon sun won't get much lower than it is now; we are already that close to the solstice. During December, the effect of Earth speeding up dominates. In the next few weeks, sunsets will occur a little later and sunrises a few minutes later each day. Since most of us sleep through sunrise and see sunset, days will seem to lengthen between now and the solstice, when they're really getting a little shorter.
If December 21 is sunny, come join us on our museum sundial at noon for solar observing! If not, you can still observe the sun on our sundial near noon any clear day in December or even early January. The holes on our gnomon aligned with the winter solstice are exceptionally large to allow for the cloudier winter weather.

Quoted from ABJoe
Either I ingested a major avoid or the body opened a cyst and removed a nasty bit of stuff from it and is dumping it rapidly.
Quoted from Enobattar
My hope is that sometime soon after he tests me and I'm in great shape, I can share with him the switch I've made. Perhaps that will open both his and my dear husband's minds about the connection between what you ingest and your health. Right now, when we are all together, I can no longer bring up the connection without being gently scoffed at and ignored by both of them.
Quoted from Victoria
I like this approach also. People can be stubborn when it comes to opening their minds to new ideas. And they rarely change just be being told something. Patience, working on your own body, improving your own health, stabilizing yourself. . . these things will bear fruit for you, which speaks louder than words.

Any change in the GI system can lead to gas, even beneficial changes. This often happens when "good germs" start growing in greater numbers while the "bad germs" die off.

Thanksgiving Celebration.
November 21, 2006 — The Chicago Bulls and Luol Deng will provide Thanksgiving dinner for more than 400 visitors to the Pacific Garden Mission's Gospel League Home the day before the holiday, Wednesday, November 22 beginning at 4 p.m.
Deng, along with the help of the Chicago Bulls, MacArthur's Restaurant and Fields Auto Group, will donate and serve a Thanksgiving dinner and Chicago's Eli's Cheesecake for the families visiting the homeless shelter that evening.
Additionally, after dinner, Deng will provide each guest with Bulls gifts to celebrate the holiday. He will also be joined by team mascot Benny the Bull as he personally assists in the serving of dinner and entertaining the 400 diners.
Deng is dedicated to assisting youth and families in the metropolitan Chicago community by providing resources and creating opportunities. With hope, integrity and faith as values, Deng creates and implements hands-on projects that inspire and encourage progress and improvement in the community.
Since 1877, Pacific Garden Mission has been a refuge for those weary of struggling through life's storms. Countless millions have come to the "Old Lighthouse" in Chicago seeking food, shelter and clothing as well as medical and dental care. Many also come seeking the answer to their ongoing struggle. They leave having found new life through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Gospel League Home was established in 1941 to specifically address the needs of homeless women and children. It provides dorm-like housing for approximately 150 women and serves between 5,000 and 7,000 meals each month.

Britain suffered its first-ever sovereign ratings downgrade from a major agency on Friday when Moody's stripped the country of its coveted top-notch triple-A rating, dealing a major blow to British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne.
Moody's said weak prospects for British economic growth, which have thrown the government's deficit-reduction strategy off course, lay behind its decision to cut the rating by one notch to "AA1" from "AAA."
Austerity has been the watchword for Osborne's fiscal policy since his Conservative Party-led coalition came to power in 2010 after an election in which he vowed to defend Britain's triple-A rating, which can help keep down borrowing costs.
However, a very slow recovery from the financial crisis has pushed back by at least two years the British government's goal of largely eliminating the budget deficit by 2015's election.
The opposition Labour Party blames the deficit on too much austerity.
Nonetheless, Osborne insisted now was not the time to change course. His annual budget — due on March 20 — is expected to show a further deterioration in the country's fiscal outlook.
"Tonight we have a stark reminder of the debt problems facing our country and the clearest possible warning to anyone who thinks we can run away from dealing with those problems," he said in a statement. "Far from weakening our resolve to deliver our economic recovery plan, this decision redoubles it."
However, the downgrade may fuel unease among members of his own party and his Liberal Democrat coalition partners that Osborne's gamble that he could slash the deficit and ensure a return to growth by the May 2015 election is failing to pay off.
The British pound fell by almost US$0.01 to about US$1.5160 after the downgrade, just off Thursday's fresh two-and-a-half-year low, and analysts expected it to weaken further yesterday, even if many had seen a downgrade coming.
"It's a pretty big deal," BK Asset Management managing director Kathy Lien said in New York. "We didn't see a huge reaction in the pound because it's late in the New York session, but you'll see some more aggressive selling when the markets open [in Asia] on Sunday [today]."
Moody's said the outlook on its rating on Britain was now stable, meaning any further change is unlikely for the next year or so.
Britain joins the US and France in having lost its triple-A rating from at least one major agency, after holding a top-notch rating from Moody's and Standard & Poor's since 1978, and from Fitch Ratings since 1994.
Moody's said that despite considerable economic strengths, Britain's growth was likely to be sluggish due to a mix of weaker global economic activity — especially in the eurozone — and a drag "from the ongoing domestic public and private sector deleveraging process."
"This period of sluggish growth poses challenges to the government's fiscal consolidation program, which we now assume will extend well into the next parliament," Moody's analyst Sarah Carlson said in a telephone interview.
However, Labour Party financial spokesman Ed Balls said Moody's decision should be a wake-up call for Osborne ahead of his annual budget statement as chancellor of the exchequer.
"This credit rating downgrade is a humiliating blow to a prime minister and chancellor who said keeping our 'AAA' rating was the test of their economic and political credibility," Balls said. "The issue is no longer whether this chancellor can admit his mistakes, but whether the prime minister [David Cameron] can now see that, with UK economic policy so badly downgraded in every sense, things have got to change."
However, Howard Archer, IHS Global Insight's chief UK economist, said a new approach from Osborne was improbable.

Illumina Inc. and nine of its board members were sued in New York over the gene-sequencing equipment maker's rejection of a $6.7 billion buyout bid from Roche Holding AG.
Vista Capital Management SA, a Geneva-based money manager that holds more than 300,000 shares in San Diego-based Illumina (Nasdaq: ILMN), is seeking more than $10 million in damages and a court order to prevent Illumina from using a so-called poison pill designed to dilute Basel, Switzerland-based Roche's stake in the company, according to a copy of the complaint filedMonday in federal court in Manhattan.
Vista accused Illumina and the directors of breach of fiduciary duty over their "self-interested refusal to enter into meaningful discussions or negotiations in response to multiple offers to acquire the company made by Roche," according to the complaint.
Illumina rejected Roche's $44.50-a-share hostile bid in January 2012 as well as a sweetened, $51-a-share proposal in March that valued the company at $6.7 billion. Roche Chairman Franz Humer said last month that the deal was "definitively off the table" and that Illumina's price demands were "excessive," sending Illumina's shares down the most in 15 months.
A Swiss newspaper, L'Agefi, reported in December that the companies had agreed to a $66-a-share deal. Illumina asked for $68 a share on Dec. 28 and $75 a share on Jan. 3, L'Agefi reported on its Twitter feed on Jan. 7, without saying where it got the information.
The shares gained 2 cents to $50.27 at the close of Tuesday trading, giving the company a market value of $6.2 billion. The stock has dropped 11 percent since reaching a 16-month high on Dec. 21.
An offer of more than $65 a share would have been in the interest of shareholders and Illumina's board should have disclosed it if it was made, Lucien Selce, Vista's chairman, wrote in a letter to Illumina Chairman William H. Rastetter last month. He asked the company to respond publicly to the question of whether it received an informal offer. Rastetter didn't respond, Selce said in an email.
"Illumina's policy is not to comment on pending legal matters," Jennifer Temple, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an email.
Illumina Chief Executive Officer Jay Flatley said in September that Roche, by making its bid public, stopped the gene-sequencing company's board from discussing what price would be acceptable. Directors didn't want to openly talk about a sale amount after Roche's hostile bid was made public in January because they would have needed to disclose those discussions, he said.
The case is Vista Capital Management SA v. Illumina Inc., 13-cv-955, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
