BMW i3 Enters the Electric Scrum
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- The all-electric, pint-sized BMW i3 launched today in New York, London and Beijing to great fanfare and is positioned within the German automaker's fleet as the mega-city vehicle of the future. Reminiscent of the Isetta "bubble car" spliced with the "Jetsons"-esque vehicle from Kubrick's A.I., the sub-compact Bimmer begs a fundamental question: can the cool factor actually drive sales?
That's all the more relevant given that Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz led Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's BMW in U.S. deliveries by 1,519 vehicles after the first six months of 2013. That's a change from the norm, given that BMW has held the luxury sales crown in the U.S. for the last two years with 281,460 BMW brand vehicles sold in 2012 compared to 274,134 Mercedes-Benz brand vehicles sold last year.
Six years of Munich R&D has gone into pushing forward the Project i sub-brand, which developed from the MINI E and will also steward the release of the i8, an EV supercar. To boot, the whole initiative encompasses a larger-scale sustainability platform, including a BMW venture capital initiative with $100 million invested each year toward green development.
Still, challenges abound in getting this murine pip-squeak of a car to catch on.
That's because despite the buzz these all-electric cars generate, challenges abound in terms of moving units: the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf and Tesla
In fact, electric vehicle sales worldwide doubled last year, but despite the fanfare for the 180,000 EVs out there, the proportion of EVs on the road is miniscule--amounting to nary 0.02% of passenger cars, according to International Energy Agency.
With this winter's New York Times hit-piece questioning the efficacy of the electric Tesla Model S--this after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration directed umbrage at the Chevy Volt following a fire at the test facility--there is a lingering stigma regarding cars powered by lithium-ion batteries and doubt over whether they're worth their salt.
"Make no mistake, the internal combustion engine will still prevail, no question," BMW of North America CEO Ludwig Willisch told MainStreet at the New York i3 launch. "But for the next five years, the prediction is that the

About the Author: Brian Asmus serves as Political, Economic, Public Diplomacy Officer at U.S. Embassy Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.
The U.S. Department of State, under the leadership of Secretary Clinton's Coordinator for International Energy Affairs David Goldwyn, arrived in Port Moresby on a multi-agency visit to Papua New Guinea, June 16-20, to gauge the nation's interest in the Department of State's newly designed Energy Governance and Capacity Initiative (EGCI) program. EGCI is designed to assist emerging resource-rich nations to optimize the value of new resources for development. Papua New Guinea is one of eight nations under consideration.
Coordinator Goldwyn and representatives from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Geological Survey met with members of the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Treasury and Finance as well as Papua New Guinea LNG, Papua New Guinea Power and members of the business community.
"We are here to offer Papua New Guinea technical assistance in the areas of resource assessment, environmental safety standards and transparent resource management," said Goldwyn. "We think that this is a critical moment for Papua New Guinea. The world's attention will be focused on how the country manages its revenues and how the investment climate develops. The time to set up a transparent management system and to embrace international standards like the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is now. The U.S. stands ready to help Papua New Guinea develop these systems."
According to Goldwyn, the team examined oil and gas resource assessment methodology and capabilities; oil resource data collection, management, archiving and storage; oil and gas sector revenue management and related governance and efficiency; optimization of budget policies and financial management mechanisms and associated legal and regulatory issues that have an impact on revenue management.
During meetings with ministry and agency officials, the EGCI team quickly discovered that Papua New Guinea would benefit from enhanced technical expertise to independently determine the size and quality of oil and gas reserves. Papua New Guinea government officials also expressed interest in obtaining assistance regarding development and management of a sovereign wealth fund as well as enhanced auditing capabilities for oil and gas revenues.
Next Steps: Following the assessment team's visit to Papua New Guinea, a proposed EGCI technical assistance program will be drafted. This program will be tailored to the specific needs identified during the team's visit and designed so that its objectives can be achieved by the end of a three-year time frame. The proposed EGCI program will be shared with the Papua New Guinea government and the U.S. Embassy in Port Moresby.
About EGCI: EGCI's core objective is to maximize the value, efficiency and positive development impact of oil and gas production and associated revenue flows to host governments, including that of Papua New Guinea. It accomplishes this goal through bolstering institutional capacities related to governance, revenue management and technical capability. Optimizing the management of the energy sector and revenue flows is critical for newly producing countries; oil and gas resources are finite, as are the associated earnings that are generated.
EGCI provides the recipient country with access to the U.S. government's top experts, along with their unmatched global expertise on issues related to petroleum geology; upstream licensing; exploration and production operations; revenue management; sector regulation; policy reform and implementation; and energy sector finance and tax structure. EGCI also provides the benefit of building both high-level and working-level contacts that can provide unbiased, sound advice and guidance as well as lasting relationships that can further long-term institutional stability and sound sector development and governance.
Assistance offered under EGCI will complement other sector reform efforts that may be underway. It is designed to provide value-added benefits that are tailored to address specific capacity needs. EGCI also provides technical guidance to support implementation of reforms that will foster sustainability as well as a commercial environment conducive to attracting large-scale private sector investment; specialized assistance in oil and gas revenue sharing and distribution as well as in related financial and tax management; establishment of financial tracking systems and measures to ensure process efficiency; and engagement with relevant civil society organizations that support oil and gas capacity building and investment in Papua New Guinea.

Being an island nation, it seems to me that pursuing an agenda of clean green energy would be quite viable. Wouldn't something like wind energy make more sense whether that be inland or offshore be something that really help this island nation? It would also mean less pollution and sustained opportunities the local population. I would be interested in what the administration thinks about these avenues for energy as well!
Thank You!

I agree with Zac in michigan
couldn't green energy be applied?
and couldn't the same be done for haiti?

Hundreds rally for Women's March in Marquette
Control wolves
To the Journal editor:
You can't have both wolves and everyones cute?Bambis. We had our cute Bambi coloring books 60 years ago as a child. They still are cute.
Wolves will kill everything that cannot fly or climb including beaver, rabbits, etc., which are no longer in north Bessemer. The wolves kill the fawns and large deer first. The coyotes, ravens and eagles eat their kill.
Sure bears and coyotes kill some, but deer were able to handle them along with harsh winters. The wolves kill by chasing until exhaustion of heart failure, not by choking like lions and tigers. How humane are wolves?
The outspoken wolf lover and leader for the Humane Society should go and pitch her tent and see what wolves do. Eventually the wolves will be in town … as north Ironwood is now witnessing. You won't be allowed to have your children and pets outside without fear.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the fish and game people say wolves migrated here, maybe. Some were raised in north Negaunee and released somewhere. The woods was fine until those people start getting paid.
I thank Mr. Mudge for explaining to the environmentalists what a swamp was. Swamps were full of rabbits years ago, now only mosquitos.
Did the wolves play a part in that?

Specialized architects, decorators and experienced workers worked zestfully so as to create a space that offers our guests privacy, as well as the opportunity to experience relaxing holidays. This place offers a real trip back in time, with the simultaneous provision of all modern comforts.
The house is located in the area of Ornos. The house lies between the famous beaches of Ornos and Agios Ioannis, 4 km from Mykonos Town and the airport.
The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One kitchen with dining area fully furnished and wonderfully decorated. The house is sunny all day long and has a lovely patio for lovely dinners, drinks and bbq. Just steps away from the house, there is a large pool and pool bar.
Mykonos is part of a cluster of islands including Delos, Rhenia and some rocky islets.Since the fifties, Mykonos has always been one of the most popular tourist islands of the Mediterranean.
Chora, as the town of Mykonos is commonly known, impresses and casts its spell on the visitor from the first moment, with its beautiful position, scale and architecture. Despite the great tourist development of the island, it manages to maintain its cycladic features and traditional look, like few other towns.
Its cube-shaped, all white houses glow in the sunlight, scattered wisely and orderly in the countless labyrinthine alleys and streets with whitewashed cobbled pavements. A little further, on a low hill, the windmills, having stood for centuries, compose a picture of unparalleled beauty in combination with red domes and bell towers of the countless churches. In the harbour, a small colorful flotilla of caiques and fishing boats completes this unique picture with its vivid colors.
All in all, maintaining the form of the traditional architecture of the Cyclades on the modern buildings ensures a unique feeling of harmony to the town and interior of Mykonos. Nothing can be compared, though, to the emotion inspired by the enthralling space of ancient Delos. A real town with its streets and markets, public buildings and temples, luxurious houses and shops, cisterns, columns, mosaics.

Reviews for this host's other properties
I enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very comfortable and really well placed... and I must say (visiting much places here) that in my opinion this district is the most beautiful part of Athens. it is clean... it is green..... interesting coast - many different beaches from wide sand ones to even quite wild with rocks wonderful for snorkeling especially... quite close to Acropolis, Placa .... quite close to Piraeus (possibility of visiting some islands ) a lot of well equipped shops around... good communication... just everything perfect.
We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
Great appartment with a fantastic wiev over Athens.
We really enjoyed our stay
We spent days in the vintage apartment and i fully recommend it to everyone. The apartment is well equipted. It is located outside but with public transport easy to go everywhere.
We had wonderful 5 days there! :)
I had never thought about the possibility of being able to book an apartment when traveling.
The network is Widmu I seemed rich and well articulated on Athens where we traveled for a stay June 21 to 26 ..
The apartment has lived up to our expectations and also reception services, check-out were good.
I think I will repeat the experience in other occasions
Non avevo mai pensato alla possibilità di poter prenotare un appartamento quando si viaggia.
La rete di Widmu mi é sembrata ricca e ben articolata su Atene dove abbiamo viaggiato per un soggiorno dal 21 al 26 giugno..
L'appartamento si è rivelato all'altezza delle nostre aspettative e anche i servizi di accoglienza, check-out sono stati buoni.
Penso che ripeteró l'esperienza in altre occasioni
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
Contact person was on time at the apartment, training was short (without forgetting important) and friendly.
Very nice apartment, simply furnished but functional.
Had (unfortunately only two days) a very good time in a pleasant environment.
To Athens and tavernas and bars all to reach the beach, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, tram on foot.
With great pleasure again.
Kontaktperson war pünktlich an der Wohnung, Einweisung war kurz (ohne wichtiges zu vergessen) und freundlich.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, einfach eingerichtet aber zweckmässig.
Hatten (leider nur zwei Tage) eine sehr schöne Zeit in angenehmer Umgebung.
Strand, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, Strassenbahn nach Athen und Tavernen bzw. Bars alles zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Sehr gerne wieder.
Nice place close to the restaurants and very clean!
I have been in the flat for 5 nights. The situation of the flat is okay. It's a little bit far to the centre but therefore it is really quite and there is an other centre/big streets with a lot of stores really near. Still, it doesn't take too long to get to the centre (Akropolis). Wheter you can take the bus/metro and it takes you 10-15min or you take a Taxi, which is also not expensive and only takes 10mins.
The elevator is helpful, the balcony is a nice place to sit and the room are also clean and well furnished. The wifi Router is directly next to the bed but still it is slow or sometimes not even usable.
All in all it was a great stay in Athens and I would totally recommend this flat.

Dell Earnings Disappoint as PC Sales, Windows 8 Fail to Save It

(Source: greenrightnow.com)
Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion
Dell's financial report for the third quarter seems to have missed the targets predicted by Wall Street on many levels due to
sluggish PC sales
For Q3 2012, Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion from a year previous (Wall Street expected $13.9 billion). Its net income fell from $893 million (49 cents per share) in Q3 2011 to $475 million (27 cents per share) in Q3 2012.
A large reason for Dell's financial tumble is the lack of demand for PC upgrades. Dell's PC shipments fell 8.3 percent in Q3 2012 from a year earlier.
"In a difficult global IT spending environment we saw solid proof points that demonstrate progress in our strategy," said Brian Gladden, Dell CFO. "A highlight has been the strong progress of our newly introduced servers, with our server and networking business up 11 percent. We're also encouraged by early interest in our new Windows 8 touch portfolio and the opportunities it creates for our commercial and consumer businesses."
Looking forward
, Dell predicts a fourth quarter revenue of $14 billion to $14.4 billion, which is a bit less than the $14.5 billion analysts were shooting for. In Q4 2011, revenue was $16 billion.
In response to all of this disappointing news, Dell stock dropped to $8.81 this morning, which is the lowest its been since March 12, 2009.
While Dell is
looking to Windows 8 for some kind of revival
, the new operating system hasn't provided any immediate boost for PC makers. In fact, Gladden said Windows 8 wouldn't affect Dell's financial results for the next two quarters.
"The client business continues to be challenging," said Gladden. "Commercial customers tend to be lagging adopters of a new operating system. They're going to wait."
To make matters worse, Microsoft doesn't solely depend on PC makers for hardware anymore. Last month, it released its first tablet hardware,
Surface RT
, which features the RT version of the Windows 8 mobile OS. Next year, Microsoft plans to release the Surface Pro, which will run Windows 8 Pro.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Change U.P. combo licenses
It's time for a change in combination deer licenses for the U.P. back to what they were prior to 2008 with one unrestricted tag. That's the best option for scientific deer management in the region, given the reality of periodic severe winters.
That option also best serves hunters by allowing them to take bucks that otherwise would die during the winter and maximizes recreational opportunity. That option has also been preferred by the highest number of deer hunters participating in opinion surveys conducted by the Department of Natural Resources during 2006 and 2012.
You can help bring that change about by signing a petition to that effect on Change.org. A link to the petition is http://chn.ge/1fDa2vM.
Seventy percent of the deer hunters who participated in DNR opinion surveys during 2006 and 2012 supported the combination deer license with one unrestricted tag and one restricted to bucks with at least 4 points on one antler.
The reason combo deer licenses with one unrestricted tag are so popular is they allow hunters maximum flexibility, leaving which bucks to shoot up to each hunter.
A second tag allows hunters to continue hunting for an adult buck. A small percentage of U.P. deer hunters (2 percent or less) are successful in filling two buck tags. The majority of U.P. hunters don't even shoot one buck. Hunters who want to simply hunt for one buck have the option of buying a single deer license.
Since 2008, both buck tags on combo deer licenses for the U.P. have been restricted to bucks with 3 or 4 points on one antler. Hunters who wanted to avoid the antler restrictions could buy a single license, but were supposed to be limited to one buck per year.
The restricted tags on combo licenses reduced the chances of hunters bagging one buck, much less two. And the one buck bag limit for those buying single licenses has been difficult to enforce.
The objective of having both buck tags of combo deer licenses in the U.P. restricted has been to increase the number of adult bucks in the herd. Last fall marked the sixth year for those regulations. If that objective had been accomplished, the buck kill during the fall of 2013 would have increased, but it decreased.
And even though the intent of antler point restrictions on U.P. combo licenses has been to protect 50 percent of the yearling bucks, requiring hunters to pass up bucks with less than 3 points on an antler protects many older bucks. According to DNR deer check station data from 2001 through 2011, 17 percent of 2 1/2-year-old bucks had less than 3 points on an antler and 8 percent of 5 1/2-year-old bucks fell into the same category.
On annual mail surveys the DNR conducts to estimate deer harvest, hunters have been asked their opinions about recent U.P. deer licensing and support has only been about 50 percent.
Based on passage of Proposal G by state voters in 1996, the DNR is supposed to use scientific wildlife management principles in managing game species such as whitetail deer. The deer hunting regulations for the U.P. that have been effect since 2008 do not accomplish that. They forced hunters to pass up some bucks that ended up dying of malnutrition during the winter of 2012-2013.
Retired DNR deer researcher John Ozoga from Munising said that the loss of a minimum of 50,000 deer in the U.P. last winter was "in the ball park." To put that into perspective, the DNR estimated that deer hunters harvested 33,978 deer in the U.P. during the fall of 2012. Some of those deer that died last winter were bucks that current regulations forced hunters to pass up.
The potential for even more deer to die this winter is extremely high, and that higher loss will include even more bucks that hunters were forced to pass up by current regulations. Those bucks that were lost to winter not only will not live long enough to see another birthday and grow another set of antlers, they consumed valuable winter browse before they died, degrading winter habitat for future generations of U.P. deer. It is far better for hunters to remove as many deer from the population as possible during fall hunting seasons to minimize winter losses.

Intel Corp. announced tuesday that the company will invest between $6 billion and $8 billion on future generations of manufacturing technology in its American facilities. The action will fund deployment of Intel's next-generation 22nm manufacturing process across several existing U.S. factories, along with construction of a new development fabrication plant in Oregon. The projects will support 6000 to 8000 construction jobs and result in 800 to 1000 new permanent high-tech jobs.
Intel's brand-new development fab in Oregon – to be called "D1X" – is scheduled for R&D startup in 2013. Upgrades are also planned for a total of four existing factories in Arizona (known as Fab 12 and Fab 32) and Oregon (known as D1C and D1D).
"Today's announcement reflects the next tranche of the continued advancement of Moore's Law and a further commitment to invest in the future of Intel and America. The most immediate impact of our multi-billion-dollar investment will be the thousands of jobs associated with building a new fab and upgrading four others, and the high-wage, high-tech manufacturing jobs that follow," said Intel president and chief executive officer Paul Otellini.
This new capital expenditure follows a U.S. investment announcement made in February 2009 to support state-of-the-art upgrades to its manufacturing process. Those upgrades resulted in 32nm process technology which has already produced computer chips being used today in PCs, servers, embedded and mobile devices around the world. Intel's first 22nm microprocessors, codenamed "Ivy Bridge," will be in production in late 2011 and will boost further levels of performance and power efficiency.
While Intel generates approximately three-fourths of its revenues overseas, it maintains three-fourths of its microprocessor manufacturing in the United States. This new investment commitment also allows the company to maintain its existing manufacturing employment base at these sites.
The PC industry is achieving a significant milestone this year with 1 million PCs shipping per day. The upgraded fabs create the capacity for the continued growth of the PC market segment and additional computing markets Intel is addressing, such as mobile and embedded computing.

"Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. "
Airplanes vs. Computers
When it comes to reliability, there's a fundamental difference between the aviation field and just about every other walk of life. Nowhere is the chasm more visible than when you compare aviation's safety culture with what goes on in the computer industry. I know. I just spent 10 days in computer hell, and partly to retain my ebbing sanity I'd close my eyes and count the ways this could never happen with an airplane.
My troubles started when my year-and-a-half-old Dell laptop went into convulsions. The next week and a half involved making multiple visits to the diagnostic center; researching and buying a new computer; having my backup data transferred to the new machine; then doing it all over again four days later when the new computer also went catatonic and I had to buy a third laptop.
Each step of the way, the technicians I dealt with assumed the usual computer-issue posture-they shrugged. "Yeah, those hard drives crash all the time," they said. "I see 'em defective like this out of the box every day."
Imagine if it was my life-not just my livelihood-that was on the line every time I booted up.
Now contrast my computer experience (and probably yours) with the level of reliability that aircraft and their systems need to attain to achieve certification. For example, business jet manufacturers routinely cold-soak test their models as part of the certification process. Recently, one "luxury" jet was submitted to far-from-luxurious conditions during certification trials: it was cold-soak tested at -33 degrees Celsius in the wastelands of northern Canada. After the ground crew shoveled the jet out from under a blizzard's worth of snowdrifts, not only did it have to start up and take off unscathed but everything had to work. Everything. Even the processors driving the cabin entertainment system.
Modern aircraft and their innards are torture tested far beyond Marquis de Sade's wildest dreams. Every chip, relay, servo and processor must prove beyond a glimmer of doubt that it will be as reliable as the bolts that hold the wing in place.
As reassuring as that might be, that culture clash is one reason it has taken decades to upgrade the air-traffic-control system. As each proposed computer and software upgrade was presented, it went into a circuitous trial and approval pipeline overseen by aviation-safety zealots. By the time all the testing and tweaking was done (and the computers rendered as fail-safe as those on board an airplane), the rest of the information-age industry had left these processors' specs in the dust. Some congressman's aide would look at the fine print in the final proposal and snort, "My kid's iPod has more RAM than this!" And it was back to square one.
The good news is that the upcoming Next Generation (NextGen for short) ATC system has finally built in some techno-expansion capability to accommodate advances in computer performance. And further, more of the technology burden for controlling traffic along the airways is being transferred from ground-based radar to navigation systems on board the aircraft. The system will be far simpler, more efficient, logical and ultimately safer. But only if aviation continues to defy the culture of expected failure that dominates mainstream computer development.
So far it's doing that quite well. One more example: the Bendix/King KLN88 loran-C receiver/processor that was installed in my airplane in 1988. Not only has it operated flawlessly ever since but its accuracy has mirrored that of the most modern GPS receivers I've stacked up against it. Only the decommissioning of loran-C ground transmitters by the U.S. Coast Guard last month could render my unit obsolete.
Last week I tried to describe my loran-C to a technician who was attempting to resuscitate one of my laptops. It was as if I was speaking a different language.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I found it interesting in the recent Slice article about new Little Caesars deep deep-dish pizza that pizzansliderguy commented that he lives in the metro Detroit area and he thinks Caesars is taking aim at Buddys. He also comments that in the day, Buddys was great. He said Buddys quality has gone down, but Buddys is still good.http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2013/04/little-caesars-new-deepdeep-dish.html#commentsNorma
The problem with Buddy's is consistency. 5 weeks ago I had a pizza from the Grosse Pointe location, and it was one of the best Detroit style pies I've ever had. Last week I had pizza from that same location twice and had two of the worst Detroit Style pie's I've ever had. Buddy's is a chain with lots of employees working at lots of locations. There is no passion, and no artistry, just low payed kids putting pizzas in an oven. On the other hand the single location Detroit style landmarks like Cloverleaf and Loui's tend to be incredibly consistent. On another note, Little Caesars has done a pizza very similar to this in Metro Detroit for years at the same price point. I would guess that they simply jazzed it up a bit and rolled it out nationwide to jump on the current Detroit style bandwagon. My wife actually had the new version the other day with our nieces and nephews and didn't even notice it was something different until I saw the box and asked her about it. The old version was very similar to jet's pizza, just down a notch or two in quality.
1. They are square.
From the pics, I would guess that they're just using their standard dough for these "DS" pies. Aren't they violating the rules by putting the pepperoni on top, too?
It seemed to me that the LC Deep Dish needed a higher hydration, a shorter mixing time, a higher temp, and a longer cooking time. But other than that it was edible.
I may put pepperoni under the cheese, but you can take it to the bank that there will be more on top of the cheese as well.
Out of curiosity, what characteristics do you feel these changes would make? I thought that crust-wise, the product was pretty good but I wondered if I'd like the dough to be a bit more dense/chewy.As far as who they're going after, I figured it was Jet's. They offer a very similar 8 corner pizza. When I went there for the first time, I really felt that they had run off with Little Caesar's baby (the Pan Pan). Somehow they appear to be making it work after LC started to drop it. And being in 16 states now, they're more of a direct competitor than Buddy's. The recent attention to Detroit style pizza was probably just a kick in the pants.
Well, I would like the pizza to be a bit less dense and definitely crispier Since the LC DD is actually 2 pizzas put into one box I was thinking about going down there and asking them for half of one for 4 dollars, it's more than enough pizza for one or two people.
Well I pigishly ate one of the two squares. And it made me feel bad. Just bad. Like I had too much movie theater popcorn. Hard to explain but it was a bad experience. I was hoping it would be better.John K
Perhaps you overlooked the word "piggishly" I tried not to eat the edges, since they contained NO CARAMELIZED CHEESE and yet I still felt that way. Much worse than I would have felt after 5 slices of NY style or 10 slices of NP pies. Cannot comment on PH since I don't go there. (Not convenient to my home)John K
I'm trying to understand. You're saying that you avoided the edges because they had no caramelized cheese, but you ate the interior (which certainly wouldn't have had any)?Why would a NY style have any relevance to a Detroit style? Is it just about how many slices can be consumed?
Slice reviews the LC Deep Deep Dish;http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2013/04/chain-reaction-little-caesars-deepdeep-dish-pizza.html
When a fast-food corporation comes out with a new item, I always wonder how the idea becomes a reality. I imagine someone in a brand-name suit with slicked back hair and self-esteem issues, using a PowerPoint presentation to pitch the edgy and innovative idea to a boardroom of expressionless executives. No one says a word, and then the CEO gives a slight nod. The presenter exits the boardroom and fist-pumps in the hallway. That's how it happens, right? Right.
Save the $3 and go for the regular $5 Hot-N-Ready pizza if you absolutely have to have Little Caesar's, and instead of ordering the emulsified meat-product sausage (which does have actual whole fennel seeds, surprisingly), throw on some pepperoni. Skip those mushrooms. Oh, and go to Detroit for a Detroit-style pie.
I think we must've gotten totally different products (quality-wise). I've had two so far and both have been very light and airy (perhaps too much so? I'm still arguing with myself about that.)I found a KMart LC that was still doing the Baby Pan Pan as well as the new Deep Dish. I ordered a Baby Pan since I was on the road. It was very dense and flat (I think the dough had over-proofed to a major extent). Oddly, both times I've ordered the deep dish (at my local dedicated store), it was promised and ready in 6-7 minutes. The Baby Pan here? 15 minutes. These were all at non-busy times.Regarding the quantity, refrigerate or freeze it. There is no better pizza for this (owing more to the Sicilian characteristics than anything LC does). Put a cooled slice in a Zip-Loc bag and in the fridge. Nuke it for 20 seconds (maybe 40-60 for frozen) to warm it (having opened one end of the bag), and then into a toaster oven at 400 degrees (directly on the rack) for a couple of minutes. It works. Not as good as fresh, but much better than any frozen pizza.

To be sure, the Heat haven't started this season as they were supposed to — particularly at home — but Miami has sat on its hands even during championship runs. In 2006, Heat crowds didn't bother to make much noise for Wade and Shaq, and the Florida Marlins haven't caught on with local fans despite winning the World Series in two of their first 11 seasons. In most cities — in Cleveland, let's say — this run of championships would constitute a golden age for local sports. In South Beach, they're teaching their fans how to cheer.

Found this pretty funny.
While I know the city of Cleveland is far from a basketball mecca, at the very least we show up and try to have some understanding of the game.

Yesterday the FCC reclassified Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as a telecommunications service under Title II of the Communications Act, with additional provisions from Title III and Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This was done for the purpose of ensuring net neutrality or open internet access, requiring ISPs to treat all data on the internet equally. Notably, yesterday's Order also includes mobile broadband for the first time as well.
In a press release, the FCC claims,
Together Title II and Section 706 support clear rules of the road, providing the certainty needed for innovators and investors, and the competitive choices and freedom demanded by consumers, while not burdening broadband providers with anachronistic utility-style regulations such as rate regulation, tariffs or network sharing requirements.
I have expressed concerns in the past about the smattering of regulations available under Title II, far beyond what would be required for net neutrality. On the surface, the press release would seem to indicate that the recent Order was designed to attempt to prevent those further regulations from being available to the FCC: (more…)

Education schools are "an industry of mediocrity," opines Bill Keller in the New York Times.
In 2005 Arthur Levine, then the president of Teachers College at Columbia University, shocked colleagues (and himself, he says) with a scathing report concluding that teacher preparation programs "range from inadequate to appalling."
Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo raised admission standards for state education colleges.
Deborah Kenny, who runs Harlem Village Academies charter schools, plans to train her own teachers, creating the equivalent of a residency program for new teachers.
"Where charter schools were 10 years ago, that's where teacher preparation is right at this moment," Kenny told me. With start-up money from the media executive Barry Diller (who says he hopes to see the venture amplified via the Internet) and a core of master teachers like (Bill) Jackson, Kenny has begun to build a graduate education school that will be integrated with her K-12 campuses in Harlem.
Ed schools are "cash cows" for universities, Keller writes. There's "no incentive to change because they have plenty of applicants willing to pay full tuition, the programs are relatively cheap to run, and they are accountable to no one except accrediting agencies run by, you guessed it, education schools. It's a contented cartel."
Reformers want to make teacher colleges more selective, writes Keller. Only 23 percent of American teachers — and only 14 percent in high-poverty schools — come from the top third of college graduates, estimates a recent study.
Reformers also advocate "sustained, intense classroom experience while being coached" by master teachers.
Susan Fuhrman, who succeeded Levine as president of Teachers College, support raising admissions standards and holding ed schools accountable, Keller writes. But Fuhrman is worried about alternative teacher schools that aren't part of a research university.
"One reason for the widespread mediocrity is that universities have had a cozy, lucrative monopoly," concludes Keller. "It's about time the leaders of our education schools did feel threatened."

Injecting science and nature into video games
Twenty-five years ago on October 18, Nintendo launched its Nintendo Entertainment System in the United States and—depending on your point of view—began a video game revolution that has taken entertainment technology to previously unfathomable heights. Or it has captivated the attention and interest of millions of children and adults, in over two decades of software and console development, prompting Americans to stay indoors and avoid exercise. Perhaps you see it both ways.
On the surface, video games and nature have very little in common. And there are plenty of reasons to think this way: Several studies suggest that spending time outside—which can vary from scaling a mountain to sitting on a park bench and admiring birds—improves cognition, attention and eyesight, and even reduces stress. On the other hand, research has shown that video games can improve reaction time and decision making and even promote lucid dreams.
But no matter the opinions surrounding video games, current statistics from the gaming industry reveal that video games have a hold on American consumers. According to the Entertainment Software Association approximately 67 percent of American households play video games.
As game designer Rusel DeMaria proposed last week at the Ecology and Education Summit, convened by the Ecological Society of America and the National Education Association, video games could be an important, but mostly untapped, medium for disseminating ecological science and environmental literacy. As it stands, the closest thing to an environment in video games is the virtual environment, which usually refers to the setting in which a video game is constructed; this can be anything from a desert landscape to an all-encompassing, multiplayer fantasy universe.
There currently are games that address conservation and even encourage children to get outdoors, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's free computer game "Neighborhood Explorers." There are also free games online that teach children about science, and even a video game that furthers research on protein folding. However, as DeMaria mentioned, there are not many science-infused video games—if any—that tap into the billion dollar entertainment gaming industry. There is no reason, DeMaria said, that video games cannot contribute to the public's understanding of ecology and the environment.
In other words, if roughly 67 percent of American households own a game console, why not create an entertaining video game that is scientifically accurate? The catch, one might argue, is that video games, even if they are about nature, cannot replace going outside. Oliver Pergams from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Patricia Zaradic, director of the Red Rock Institute in Pennsylvania, reported last year that the increase in video game usage has led to a decline in nature recreation. The result, they said in a PLoS ONE study, could be a decline in conservation due to a lack of interest. However, as DeMaria explained last week, if consumers are going to be playing video games anyway, why not pique their interest in the environment by injecting ecological science and nature into the games?

UPDATE: There is an entertainment-oriented "eco-game" available for Apple's iPad called Tilt.

This article is cross posted at Spurs Basketball.
With Tony Parker sitting out because of a strained left hamstring, Manu Ginobili started at the point and delivered 11 points, seven assists and seven rebounds in 28 minutes of action, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 104-87 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
Danny Green added 18 points, Tim Duncan 15 points and 12 rebounds and Matt Bonner added 14 off the Spurs bench to improve their team record to 31-14 and hold a tight grip at the second-seed on the West.
Parker, missed his third game of the season, but his absence didn't seem to distract the Spurs, who had seven assists in the first quarter alone and finished with 28 total.
San Antonio led 24-21 after the first quarter and maintained their advantage throughout the game with the exception of a two-minute spurt by Dallas.
Jason Terry's 18-foot jumper with five minutes remaining in the third quarter gave the Mavericks a 60-58 advantage, their first lead since 4-2 two minutes into the game. The Spurs responded quickly, however, closing the quarter on a 12-3 run to gain a decisive advantage.

Able's Garage
this wiki
Able's garage is a local repair shop in Argon City. It resembles a very large hangar. Inside there are many different types of vehicles, such as tanks and light cycles. It includeds a breakroom, an area for repairs, and a welding room in the back. General Tesler commissions repairs and special vehicles for his armada there, and has, in person or through his lieutenants, frequently threatened its workers with death or the Games.
Known employees at the garage include Beck, Mara, Zed, Link, Copper, and Dash.
Main FloorEdit
This area of the garage is the largest. It includes a wide open floor facing the entrance to the garage. Cables hang down from the ceiling to hold light jets and light copters in suspension until they can be worked on. The employees do most of their repair work in this area.
This section is located on the side of the garage. It has white walls, seats, and a refreshments area throughout the room.
Laser RoomEdit
The high-power laser is located in this room: a large white bean-shaped object which fires a red beam. The laser is operated from behind a glass door on a control panel. Objects are placed on a round white table against which the beam fires, either fusing two things together or destroying unnecessary objects. The laser welder was used by Beck (as the Renegade) to destroy the weapon created by Shaw.
Able's OfficeEdit
This area next to the garage's entrance has a round desk in the middle and a view of the lot and harbor which front the garage. Able keeps various relics from the old days in his office, including an ENCOM 786 baton, a Bit, and an old-style white light suit in a display case.
Employee QuartersEdit
While some employees live in shared ground-level barracks with unadorned shelf-beds along the walls, others -- including Mara (whose quarters were seen in State of Mind), Beck, Zed, and Able -- live above the garage in spacious rooms with large triangular windows.
