This procedure contains information about the cataloging of gift books selected for addition to the collections of University Libraries.
Gifts are managed by the Acquisitions Librarian. For information about receiving and managing gift materials, see Gifts and Donations under Acquisitions Procedures.
Books selected by curators or others for a special collection (de Grummond, Special Collection, Mississippiana, Juvenile Collection, Curriculum Materials Center, CurrLab, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory) will be flagged as such. The remainder will be for Cook Library or will be offered to Gulf Coast Library. All gift books to be cataloged will be routed to the Cataloging Unit.
All gift books added to the collections will be cataloged according to Edit Cataloging (Books) and other procedural documents for specific formats. See Cataloging Procedures.
Search the library catalog for a bibliographic record that matches the book in hand (author, title, imprint, edition, etc.). This search may have been done by someone earlier in the evaluation process, but it must be done at the point of cataloging.
If a matching bib record is found, inspect the holdings.
If no matching bibliographic record is found in our catalog, process and catalog the book for Cook Library.
If no matching bibliographic record is found in the OCLC database, refer the book to a librarian for creation of an original bibliographic record.
TBA. Gifts selected for Gulf Coast Library should have white Gifts flags inserted. These flags should stay in the books until they reach GCL.
If a search of the library catalog reveals that a copy of an item in hand is held at both Cook Library and Gulf Coast Library, route the book to library sale storage in the Acquisitions Unit. If items offered to Gulf Coast Library are not selected for addition, route these to library sale storage in Acquisitions.

As Chrysler fell into bankruptcy last week, with GM perhaps close behind, President Barack Obama and other government leaders were dispensing advice to the auto industry. Unfortunately, much of this advice ignores the dynamism of today's global economy.
Start with the following from Mr. Obama last Wednesday: "I'm not an auto engineer. . . But I know that if the Japanese can design an affordable, well-designed hybrid, then doggone it the American people should be able to do the same."
Actually, doggone it, no. The economic principle of comparative advantage, which explains many of America's gains from globalization, tells us that hard-working Americans are not going to excel at everything. Comparative advantage says each country should concentrate its time and talent on the particular goods and services it is productive at relative to the rest of the world. It should then export those items abroad and in exchange import the goods and services at which other countries are relatively more productive.
Countries cannot have a comparative advantage at everything. That's okay. Tiger Woods is better off spending his time playing golf, not painting his house. Similarly, imports from overseas do not represent failure. They raise standards of living. Do American workers have a comparative advantage in the emerging technology of plug-in hybrids? I don't know. But neither does the president nor anyone else just yet. For America to benefit from globalization, important questions like these need to be left to the market.
Last Thursday, when announcing the bankruptcy of Chrysler, Mr. Obama advised: "If you are considering buying a car, I hope it will be an American car."
What exactly makes a car "American?" Does it mean a car made by a U.S.-headquartered company? If so, then it is important to understand that any future success of the Big Three will depend a lot on their ability to make -- and sell -- cars outside the United States, not in it. A big reason Chrysler has fallen bankrupt is its narrow U.S. focus. It has not boosted revenues by penetrating fast-growing markets such as China, India and Eastern Europe. Nor has it lowered costs by restructuring to access talent and production beyond North America.
On many measures the Big Three today are far less global than the most successful U.S.-headquartered companies. Today about two-thirds of IBM's revenue is earned outside the U.S. And what does it say on the back of every Apple iPod? "Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China." Chrysler and GM will be stronger if they can become more global, not less so. This should benefit not just their bottom lines but their U.S. workers, too. Much research now shows that expansion abroad by U.S. companies tends to support jobs in America, not destroy them.
Or is an "American" car one made within U.S. borders? If so, then it is important to understand that America today has a robust automobile industry thanks to insourcing. In 2006, foreign-headquartered multinationals engaged in making and wholesaling motor vehicles and parts employed 402,800 Americans -- at an average annual compensation of $63,538 -- 20% above the national average. Amid the Big Three struggles of the past generation, insourcing companies like Toyota, Honda and Mercedes have greatly expanded automobile operations in the U.S. In fiscal year 2008, Toyota assembled 1.66 million motor vehicles in North America with production in seven U.S. states supported by research and development in three more.
Today, insourcing companies strengthen America's economy across all industries. In 2006, they employed more than 5.3 million Americans, conducted $34.3 billion in research and development, invested $160.2 billion in capital, and exported $195.3 billion in goods. If Chrysler partners with Italy's Fiat as the president hopes, it will join the ranks of these insourcing companies.
The broad goal of American economic policy should be to help all companies operating in the U.S. create and maintain good jobs at good wages. Translating this goal into sound public policy means rethinking recent sound bites, however. It means that the U.S. is not going to be great at everything. It means that U.S.-based companies need to be expanding abroad. And it means that some of the best companies in America are foreign-owned insourcing companies.
Chrysler and GM have long been struggling. They are now deeply enmeshed in U.S. politics as well. Government leaders should not make matters worse by handicapping them with antiquated policies that do not make sense in today's dynamic global economy.

Thread: falling apart star...
falling apart star...
so one of my chocolate chip star... has been falling apart. likely due to the ICH-X, "reef tested" medication that was added a day or two prior. doesn't seem like any fish have been picking on him. there has been temperature increase (from 79/80 to 82) to help with the ICH problem. there was a spike in salt due to the temperature increase where i fell behind (damn salt as high as 27, almost 28! SALT!). is there hope for regeneration of his one leg, which as basically fallen off? many of the "chip tips" have fallen off. or should i just take him out? he's movin' around the tank, but . . . .
Stars can regenerate lost limbs. I would leave him and see what happens. Just keep the water quality high. Personally, my experience with Marine Ich has been to simply "leave it alone" to an extent. Marine "ich" only shows up on stressed fish as a rule. I had a Blue Hippo that had it at one time, and I just fed it a straight diet of New Life Spectrum Thera +A for 3-4 weeks straight, and kept my water quality high and the stress low on the fish, and the Ich went away. As long as I kept the water quality good, it didn't come back. I never add chemicals for "cures" to my main display tank because they always cause some other problems somewhere.Considering a Marine Aquarium?

A natural source of L-Dopa, our Mucuna Pruriens Seed Powder naturally contains 5% L-Dopa. L-Dopa in mucuna is a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine an important brain chemical involved in mood and movement. The total alkaloids from Mucuna Pruriens comprise of five alkaloids. This plant food is one that you may see fairly quick results with so, it can be used on an as needed basis or for extended periods of time.
Mucuna Pruriens Seeds (non-GMO) are a natural source of L-Dopa which may help support mood, as well as energy and endurance levels. Traditionally Mucuna has been used to support stamina. In addition, it may help to encourage circulation in a healthy individual.
L-Dopa contains natural secretagogues which may support healthy HGH levels. The blood carries the dopamine into the brain, where it naturally increases HGH production from the pituitary gland. The increased dopamine levels may lead to increased vitality for both men and women. In a study done at the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal, Mucuna Pruriens when administered in a dose of 75 mg/kg body weight daily, increased the vitality levels of male albino rats considerably by stimulating "male" levels. A ten fold increase in the mating frequency was observed. The research shows that active animals had increased stamina and improved endurance levels after 21 to 28 days. However, animals with initially low vitality levels did not derive any benefits.
Another research study shows that Mucuna Pruriens heightened sensitivity and activity to a moderate extent, but it also sustained it for longer time frames, as indicated by the increase in control group 1 and decrease in control group 2. Mucuna Pruriens is shown to possess central depressant activity. This study shows that Mucuna Pruriens can be used to improve energy and increase stamina.
The total alkaloids from Mucuna Pruriens comprise of five alkaloids (purienine and purienidine). These alkaloids are found support healthy biological functions. This may lead to increased life-force levels. The alkaloids in Mucuna Pruriens increase male levels in either by action on glandular function or on leydig's cells.
Remarkably, Amazonian shamans utilized Mucuna Pruriens as a tool for supporting healthy sensory awareness and deeply meditative effects. Today, science indicates that it may support lucid dreaming and essential REM sleeping patterns. REM level sleep is imperative to support healthy energy levels, recovery and sense of wellbeing. Our Mucuna Pruriens Seed Powder is of the highest quality and processed in the perfect proportions to support the body.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Mucuna Pruriens Seed Powder may include:
● May support overall vitality for men & women
● May improve mood & sense of well-being
● May support healthy energy levels
● Possibly supports healthy HGH levels
● May support bone health
● May support skin health
● May support a healthy nervous system
● May support healthy blood sugar levels
● May support deep sleeping patterns
● May have antioxidant properties
● May help to support a healthy lipid profile
● May support healthy and lean muscle mass
● May support a healthy immune response
Suggested Use: Begin by taking 1/4 teaspoon each day and if no negative reactions occur work up to 1 teaspoon daily. Mix with water, juice, yogurt, add to a smoothie, or infuse into a tea. Mucuna may work best when taken together with green tea extract.
Mucuna Pruriens is an established herbal remedy in some societies. However, due to the lack of robust scientific evidence as to its safety and effectiveness, its use in the U.S. requires medical supervision.

Hi all,
in the Rebelscum forum I read this post:
Do you know this magazine? Is the article mentioned really interesting? Is it worth to buy it?Quote:
JediMAC : I just picked up issue # 118 of Lee's Toy Review magazine currently at newsstands and it has a GREAT 15 page complete picture reference guide to ALL of the Star Wars Micro Machine and Action Fleet products made from inception through the end of Episode 1. I highly recommend it to all Galoob enthusiasts and collectors. The only downfall, is that all of the pictures are packaged/boxed shots, no "loose" toy images. Check it out!
Thank you in advance for your help. :)
P.S. It looks like I am always here to ask for your help, but it is hard to live in the third world of SW collecting. :dead:
You are actually my only "life line". :D

As the first director of Princeton's Program in Latino Studies, Marta Tienda hopes to attract top scholars in Latino history and politics as well as music and literature to explain the social and cultural impact of Latinos in the United States. She also plans to expand the program "and let it contribute to the intellectual vitality of this university."

Featured Story
Perspective on: Latino studies and the immigration debate
Posted October 29, 2009; 10:57 a.m.
Name: Marta Tienda
Title: Maurice P. During Professor in Demographic Studies, professor of sociology and public affairs, and director of the Program in Latino Studies
Scholarly focus: Racial and ethnic differences in various facets of social inequality -- from poverty and welfare to education and employment
You are the director of the Program in Latino Studies, which is in its first year. How and why did you get involved?
There was a push on campus; our students and alumni wanted it. Latinos are the fastest-growing segment of our society, and they're not completely understood. Having a program that focuses on the intellectual foundations of this emergent, growing, profound social phenomenon seemed like an essential addition at Princeton. And given what my research has been about for the past few years, I thought that I should do it (with a ton of help from colleagues).
What are your plans for building and enhancing the program?
The priorities that I hope could be worked on with other departments are finding top scholars in Latino history and politics, and making sure that we strengthen our humanities offerings to represent music and literature as well as the dance and performance studies that [Assistant Professor of English and African American Studies] Alex Vazquez does. She has been a terrific addition to this campus, and we want to make sure that the humanities and the social sciences have good balance to explain the cultural impact, as well as the social impact, of Latinos in the United States.
I want to grow the program and let it contribute to the intellectual vitality of this university. Students have to find out about it, and it takes a while for the word of mouth to spread. For me, it will be a success if we get students who are not of Hispanic background in the certificate program. Then it can have the spillover effects with other programs that explore the meaning of race in this country; how we construct identity; how immigration plays into that and re-divides groups; and how new settlement patterns are transforming the ethnic landscape.
Tienda and Rosalia Rivera (right), program manager for Latino studies and Latin American studies, review the program requirements with a student.
You've just begun two new projects on immigration and migration. Can you tell us more?
The real opportunity for improving life chances of immigrant children must focus on the young ages, especially before age 9 or 10. Child migration is increasing all over the world. Our research on the children of immigrants is a cross-national comparison of Canada, the U.K., Australia and the U.S., as well as Spain and probably France and Germany. The list includes the largest immigrant-receiving countries, four of them English-speaking. We want to compare how child migrants fare in these countries.
Another phenomenon that interests me and that nobody is paying attention to is elderly migration. Our policies allow citizens to bring their parents to this country, but the support demands that we require are very low. After five years elderly migrants are eligible for all of our social programs. Nobody is going to argue against bringing in grandparents, but they come with a very high price tag. I want to get a sense of the dimensions of the phenomenon, why it isn't being addressed and what the opportunity costs are when we look at what we call dependents -- the young and the old. The young at least can contribute to longer-term productivity. Does that change how we think about who we let in, when and under what circumstances?
President Obama has talked about passing immigration reform in 2010. How do you think that the debate will be different from the debates during the Bush administration?
Immigration is an issue that doesn't divide neatly along partisan lines; it doesn't divide neatly along economic lines; it doesn't divide neatly along regional lines or among employers. I'm not sure what the solutions are. But the challenge now is to make sure that quality research informs policy debate. I hope that this time around, that information at least can speak to some of those critical areas rather than letting ideology drive the debate. It's going to involve hard choices. If somebody says we want to emphasize family reunification, at what expense in terms of labor?
Tienda has been engaged with research in Latino issues as well as outreach and education efforts with students, such as "Voz Latina: A Symposium on Latinos in America," held at Princeton in 2008.
What do you enjoy most about teaching and working closely with students?
When you push students within what you know they're capable of doing, insist on the highest standards, and they continue to grow -- to me that's indescribable. What I've learned in all these years -- and I've been teaching 33 years now -- is that you find out many years afterward that you changed somebody's life when you weren't even aware you were doing it. And especially when they're students who didn't believe in themselves, who faced many of the same insecurities I did as a first-generation student with a very poor background and parents with almost no education, that to me is particularly important in opening the pathways to leadership.

Orbital pseudotumor is a swelling of the tissues behind the eye in an area called the orbit. The orbit is the bony cavity in the skull where the eye sits. It protects the eyeball and the muscles and tissue that surround it.
Unlike cancerous tumors, orbital pseudotumor does not spread to other tissues or places in the body.
The cause is unknown. It most commonly affects young women, although it can still occur at any age.
Signs of pseudotumor can be seen when the eye is examined. Tests must be done to tell the difference between pseudotumor and a cancerous tumor and eye problems that can occur in people with thyroid disease.
Tests may include:
Mild cases may go away without treatment. More severe cases will usually respond to treatment with corticosteroids. Very severe cases may develop damaging pressure on the eye, and require surgical movement of the bones of the orbit to relieve pressure on the eyeball.
Most cases are mild and do well. Severe cases may be resistant to treatment and visual loss may occur. Orbital pseudotumor usually involves only one eye.
Severe cases of orbital pseudotumor may push the eye forward to the extent that the lids can no longer protect the cornea, leading to drying of the affected eye. This can lead to damage to the clarity of the cornea, or to corneal ulcer (wound). The eye muscles may not be able to properly aim the eye, and double vision may result.
Patients with pseudotumor will be closely followed by an ophthalmologist with experience in the treatment of orbital disease.
If you experience irritation of the cornea, redness, pain, or decreased vision, call your ophthalmologist or general health care provider right away.

Map shows campus polling stations
Posted October 25, 2011; 12:21 p.m.
Residents of the Princeton University campus can find the location of their polling stations for Election Day through an online chart and map.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8. This year's election is for state and local elected officials. There also is a local ballot question on whether the municipalities of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township should be consolidated.
Made available by the Office of Community and Regional Affairs and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the documents show the three Princeton Borough districts and two Princeton Township districts that include the campus, as well as the location of the polling stations in each.
Those who live on campus and are registered to vote in Princeton must vote at the polling station that corresponds to the district in which they now live. Those who have not changed their voter registration address must go to the polling place that corresponds with their new address and vote by provisional (paper) ballot. All students should bring their Princeton University ID card for identification.

[...] No complaints with FanTech. This unit is more powerful than the near-identical unit it replaced, almost double the suction pressure, so it's a little noisy. [...]

I put this fan in to reduce radon and pull some humidity out of the floor slab. I haven't checked the curent radon levels, but judging from the airflow coming out of the 4" pipe, I'd say it's doing its job.

Comments about Fantech HP220 Radon Mitigation Fan for 6" Duct:
My goal was to remove fumes from a garage. I installed this fan with an open intake and a reducer to a 4" exhaust. The air volume is great for the power. The power factor is almost exactly 1.0 (perfect) and it draws just over 130-watts, which is surprisingly efficient for the air pressure and volume that it produces. The motor seems to be very high quality, it runs very smooth with almost no vibration at all. The air intake is a little noisy if you leave it open like I did, but with the intake covered it's very quiet so there is very little noise coming from the fan enclosure itself. Also I wrote some emails to Fantech (the manufacturer) with a few questions and they were very quick to respond with answers to my questions. Great product, great support from the manufacturer[...]

Again I am REALLY surprised I have not turned up any pre-existing libraries for such a thing,
Clearly it is a solved problem based on Reprap printers everywhere using steppers.
How do I get a continous pulse train coming off the arduino of variable frequency, without blocking everything else?
I need to control 2 stepper motors, speed only not elapsed steps
atleast untill I come up w/ a brilliant other plan where I can use 1 timer for 2 or 3 steppers.

World Wide Web inventor to speak, April 5
Posted March 30, 2006; 10:36 p.m.
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, will speak at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 5, in McCosh 50.
His talk, "The Future of the Web," will cover not only the history of the Web but also the concept and development of the "semantic Web."
Berners-Lee is director of the World Wide Web Consortium, an international group whose staff and member organizations work together to develop Web standards. The semantic Web is an initiative of the consortium aimed at creating a universal medium in which the databases that form the basis of all Web documents can be integrated and accessed more efficiently.
Berners-Lee also holds the 3Com Founders Chair at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a professor of computer science at the University of Southampton. He invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory.
The talk, designated as a Spencer Trask Lecture, is sponsored by the Public Lecture Series.

The main European stock markets continued to deliver positive returns in the week from the 29th of April to the 3rd of May (Milan +2.2%, London +1.5%, Frankfurt +3.9%, Paris +2.7%, Madrid +3.0%). Expectations of an intervention by the ECB to lower the benchmark interest rate sustained the market (rate lowered by 25bps to 0.5% in line with expectations).
Auto & Parts stocks were up, with the European Stoxx index gaining 4.5% as the main players reported Q1 earnings. Investors reacted positively to results by the main German OEMs; car makers underlined how inventory is under control and the second half of the year should see an uptick in earnings.
Pirelli closes the week at 8.2€, up 6.8% with an average daily volume of 2.3 million shares. According to CITI, Pirelli's exposure to emerging markets should allow the company to outperform the sector for what concerns volume growth in the first quarter of 2013. Goldman Sachs expresses a more cautious view on the sector, due to ongoing competitive pressures in mature markets.

All Maine voters — whether you are registered as a member of a particular party or not — get to vote on five questions on June 8.
First is a PEOPLE'S VETO, repealing a law that would give Maine a flat 6.5-percent income-tax rate (changing from a graduated rate with the highest bracket at 8.5 percent for people with income over $16,700) and make up the money lost by expanding the sales tax to a wide range of services including auto repair, tickets to movies and performing-arts events, sightseeing tours, pet-care services, bar cover charges (for live-music venues), and admission to amusement parks. A "Yes" vote is for repeal; a "No" vote supports the new law.
Second is a $26.5 MILLION BOND FOR "ENERGY INDEPENDENCE," giving $11 million to off-shore wind development (which will also draw $24.5 million in federal and other funds) and $15.5 million to energy-efficiency improvements at the University of Maine, community colleges, and Maine Maritime Academy.
Question 3 is a $47.8 MILLION TRANSPORTATION BOND to spend $24.8 million to improve highways, $16 million for railroads (plus designating an additional $4 million from last November's transportation bond for railroads), and $6.5 million for a deep-water pier at Portland's Ocean Gateway terminal.
Question 4 is a $23.8 MILLION ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENT BOND including $8 million for redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station, $11 million for various business-grant programs, and $1.25 million for purchasing historic properties for preservation.
Question 5 is a $10.3 MILLION WATER-QUALITY BOND supporting improving water supplies for drinking and for agriculture, as well as improving household and municipal wastewater treatment systems. If approved, this bond will draw as much as $33.3 million in federal and other funds to augment these projects.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Former litigator Richard "Dick" Scruggs today asked the federal court to let him return to prison while his appeals continue.
Friday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans turned down his attorneys' arguments to overturn his 2009 conviction in a case involving then-Hinds Judge Bobby DeLaughter.
Scruggs, 66, has been free on $1 million bond while the appeal was considered.
Today, in a three-page motion, he says he "desires to resume serving his criminal sentence while these further appeals are pending."
Late in 2012, the once famed litigator completed a five-year sentence for his guilty plea in a scheme to bribe Judge Henry Lackey of Calhoun City who presided over a legal-fees lawsuit against Scruggs and others.
But Senior U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson granted him bail while he appealed his second guilty plea in a case the government claimed he sought to improperly influence DeLaughter, who presided over another legal-fees lawsuit against Scruggs.
On appeal, he insisted he did not try to bribe DeLaughter with a promise to suggest him for a federal judgeship.
Scruggs received about 2 1/2 years sentence tacked onto his Lackey sentence after his second guilty plea.

okay now I'm annoyed. I was meant to be taking a BA flight home at 20:15 tonight, but it has been cancelled due to a unoffical strike at London Heathrow. As a result I'm sitting in a hotel waiting for my flight tomorrow morning at 7:35, which means I have to get up at 4:30. ho hum. BA are paying for this okay hotel and have paid up to 250NOK for my dinner. it came to 277NOK so I gave a rather large tip of 73NOK :). There is wireless around, but I don;t have a wlan card :(.
I think I'm going to go back to my room an watch Matrix on DVD and/or play with getting my Debian on a CD script working. Mostly there. I need to play around with getting the CD to boot and then add some stuff to make it work nicely with the CD drive. It probably doesn;t help that my previous sucessful attempt is sitting 2 hours flight away.

JoMoX XBase 09
The XBase 09 is serious about emulating the Roland TR-909. Like the 909, it is an analog drum machine, and it sounds just like the 909, and more! It offers the same types of analog controls that the TR-808 and TR-909 did such as tuning, level, decay, snap, etc. However it provides more of these controls for more sounds than the originals ever did and has MIDI implementation and Patch memory making the XBase 09 a much more versatile machine than those originals.
Kick and snare are true analog, not emulation and not sampled. The Hihats, cymbal, ride, rimshot, claps and noise sounds are samples but are still quite tweakable. All your edited sounds can be stored into the 100 patches of memory. Use the built-in LFOs to modulate the Bass drum pitch, Snare Tune, Snare Snap, Snare Noise Tune, HiHat Tune or LFO 2.
The XBase 09's built-in sequencer is also more advanced yet faithful to the style of its mentors. Step or Real-Time programming just like it's done on the 909 and 808! However, on the XBase, any edits to the sounds will also be stored with the pattern or song! This really liven's up your beats and allows you freedom and control to do things not easily possible on the original beat boxes! There's also an extensive Shuffle mode. Of course the XBase 09 is also happy as a simple drum tone module, with all editable controls accessible using MIDI. The controls also send MIDI data when tweaked so you can record real-time edits into your external sequencer.
If you're looking for the TR-909 that should have been, here it is! Authentic sounds with more functionality and modern MIDI specs make this the perfect 909 for the 90's and beyond. Its only limitations are 3 voice polyphony and it's expensive. The AirBase-99 is a cheaper rack-mount alternative with added Toms.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
Tobor - Eight-foot-tall space robot on the
live-action children's science fiction adventure CAPTAIN VIDEO AND HIS VIDEO
Tobor the Robot captures Atar
Tobor (played by 7' 6" Dave Ballard) was a prototype robot designed to be a tireless worker and
indestructible soldier. It bore the inscription "I-TOBOR" (a
reversed image of ROBOT-I) on its chest plate.
Tobor's body featured a cylindrical manlike form, rockets mounted on
its back; an antenna sprouting skywards from each shoulder; a
triangular flap of metal on its chest containing a lens which shot a
death ray; and activation by voice commands via a pocket-sized
device attuned to the vocal frequency of its controller.
Tobor was originally designed as a force for good in the universe,
until Atar, a villainous female reset the robot's voice circuits to
obey only her commands. Now in control of the powerful robot, Atar
set out to conquer the solar system.
Tobor was finally rendered harmless when Captain Video, matching
Atar's vocal frequency, sent conflicting commands to Tobor and
disrupted its circuitry.
Months later (due to popular demand) Tobor was reactivated but this
time under the guidance of Captain Video's voice. A video monitor
was built into his metallic naval for closed circuit communication.
In a later episode, an evil scientist stole Tobor's blueprints and
created a duplicate Tobor. A colossal battle of good vs. evil ensued
with Tobor fighting his evil twin.
Tobor the robot was prominently featured in serial episodes: "I,
Tobor" (1953); "The Return of Tobor the Robot (1954); and "Dr.
Pauli's Planet" (1955).
TRIVIA NOTE: The name "Tobor"
appeared in the sci-fi movie Tobor the Great (1954) about a
telepathic experimental robot with human emotions.
In the animated 1965 Japanese syndicated sci-fi series
8TH Man, a
crime fighting android ("Tobor, the Eighth Man, the mightiest robot
of them all") programmed by Professor Genius with the memory of
police officer, Peter Brady who was killed by the villain Saucer

Alternative Loans
- are not federally backed.
- will most likely require a cosigner.
- have varying borrowing limits – yearly and cumulatively.
- may have minimum enrollment requirements.
- may have satisfactory progress requirements.
- have different deferral options.
- sometimes have origination fees or application fees.
- may have higher interest rates and more stringent repayment terms than Federal Direct Stafford Loans.
- may not have a cap on a variable interest rate or a limit on how frequently your rate is adjusted.
- may have incentives during repayment that do not carrying forward if your loan is subsequently sold to another lender.
Where to begin:
Visit lender web sites and thoroughly read literature from each company to determine the loan program that would best suit your needs. See the following site as a helpful starting point to conduct basic comparisons of different lenders: http://www.elmselect.com/.
Historical List of Lenders
Affinity PLUS Federal Credit Union
Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education
Member's 1st Federal Credit Union
Michigan Tech Employees Federal Credit Union
Minnesota Office of Higher Education
Motorola Employees Credit Union
Notre Dame Federal Credit Union
Thorn Apple Valley Community Credit Union
Vermont Student Assistance Corporation
The Application Process
Most lenders have paperless, or nearly paperless, application processes. Despite this, give yourself plenty of time. Lenders are bound by legislation in the Truth in Lending Act, as well as the Higher Education Opportunity Act, to minimum required waiting periods for various steps in the application process. Though there may be some variance between lenders as to the order, there are several general steps that must occur. Once you submit your application, the lender will send you an Application Disclosure. When you (and your cosigner) are credit approved, you will receive an Approval Disclosure and Self-Certification Form. Both disclosures will require you to actively accept the terms, and the Self-Certification Form will need data from your Michigan Tech BanWeb account. Now that you are approved, the lender will contact us for our portion of the loan certification. Upon submission of the school certification form, you will receive the Final Disclosure from the lender. As a final note, you have a three day rescission period from receipt of the Final Disclosure. During this period, you still can opt to cancel the loan. Although the overall processing time by lenders will vary, several weeks is a definite possibility. Give yourself time.
Calculating loan amounts/eligibility
There are two parts to determining how much money can be borrowed through an alternative loan – lender credit approval and school certification. The lender will approve the requested loan amount based on the borrower's and cosigner's credit report. Then, they rely on the school to certify eligibility for the requested amount. Eligibility is calculated the same regardless of the lender chosen: Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) minus all other financial aid and outside resources equals the maximum alternative loan amount. Students with a FAFSA on file can view their estimated Cost of Attendance on BanWeb under the Award Overview tab in the Financial Aid section. Students without a FAFSA can see estimated costs here. Whether or not there is a FAFSA, a student's Outside Resources and total Financial Aid Awards can also be viewed on theAward Overview tab in BanWeb. Michigan Tech will be using these numbers when we provide our certification to the lender.
Therefore, it is possible that a lender will approve a loan for $12000, but Michigan Tech certifies a lesser amount. The lesser amount is what the lender is going to disburse.
Loan Periods
Be mindful of the requested loan period that is put on the application. This effects when money is received and how much. We will calculate loan eligibility based on the loan period listed on the application. If it is known that funds will be needed for fall and spring, we suggest completing the lender's application with a loan period of August through May. Eligibility will be calculated as stated above and the loan funds will be disbursed in two portions: half in late August for the fall semester and half in late December for the spring semester. Interest will not accrue on the second half until the funds are actually disbursed, so there will be no penalization for completing just one application. Should separate applications be the family's preference, then use a loan period of August through December (fall semester) or January through May (spring semester). We will calculate the school certified amount by using half the annual estimated Cost of Attendance and only the aid and resources pertinent to that semester. We will request that the lender send all funds in August for a fall only loan or in late December for a spring only loan.

You are here
If you missed out on "Ask Muffie: Real-Life Solutions to Your Decorating Dilemmas," here's Part Two of the recap:
Q: What is the correct height for hanging a chandelier?
A: If you're hanging the chandelier over a table, aim for 30 to 34 inches over the tabletop for an eight-foot ceiling. If your ceiling is higher than eight feet, mount the chandelier an additional three inches higher for each foot of ceiling.
If the chandelier isn't meant to be centered over a piece of furniture, first consider your ceiling height. For example, in a living room with 11-foot ceilings, you could hang it four feet from the ceiling or as high a three feet from the ceiling. For low ceilings, think about the tallest person you know, and make sure they would be able to walk comfortably underneath the chandelier. Before hanging it, have someone stand back to see if it's blocking anything else in the room. You want the view of the chandelier to fill empty space on the wall behind it, not block your favorite painting.
Q: There are so many rooms in my house in need of updating. Where do I begin?
A: Whether it's a cluttered mudroom or a stressful office, start with what drives you most crazy and fix that. You'll feel better, more motivated, and able to move on to the rest of your house. If you're hesitant about decorating any room while you have small children, don't be. Just invest in pillows and keep any other elements above waist level. You don't need to be afraid of white either; that's what Clorox is for.
Q: In rooms with high ceilings, how do I deal with all that wall space?
A: Paint the ceiling. Whatever color you have on the walls, change it a hue by adding white to the paint, and then use the new color to paint the ceiling. This brings the ceiling down and makes the space seem less endless. Art claims the extra wall space, too. Collect several inexpensive, black frames and group them together to create one enormous centerpiece that fills up the wall. Or add a big basket over the television to fill up the empty wall space (no fake flowers though!).
Q: When is it okay to use bold color?
A: Be careful with bold colors in open floor plans. If your rooms are all visible to each other, and you paint one space bright red, the red is all you're going to see, regardless of how beautiful the rest of the house is.
Q: I have a simple bathroom with a pedestal tub. How do I make the room appear less empty and more like a part of the house?
A: If you have the space, add a small chair and cover it in a really sumptuous fabric. Put a small table or pedestal next to the tub, too. This gives you a place to rest your wine or novel, and makes the bathroom seem cozy.
Q: I have a collection of hand-blown glass balls. How can I display them so that they don't look like Christmas ornaments?
A: Find a tall, clear vase to place them in, and put tea lights around the base to reflect the colors of the glass. If you hang them, keep them grouped close together so they look like a collection and not Christmas ornaments. To hang the glass, use clear tacks, not nails. Tacks are barely visible, and it's easy to putty over the holes they make.
Q: Where are good places to hang mirrors?
A. A traditional location is at the entrance to your home. Another good spot is in tight spaces. The mirror will reflect the room and makes it seem bigger—just make sure it's reflecting something interesting and not an area of the room you'd rather keep hidden. They're great above a piece of furniture in place of artwork, too.
Q: My living room has tall ceilings and tall windows. How to I cover the windows without overwhelming the room?
A. Go simple. Choose a thin curtain rod and basic rings. For curtains, you can use a fabric that's sheer, or if you need be able to make the room dark, back your curtains in blackout fabric. Whatever curtains you choose, be sure to back them or the sun will rot right through.
Q: For those of us who rent houses, any suggestions on inexpensive ways to spruce up or personalize a house? I'm looking for ideas that are not permanent, but still make the place feel like home.
A. Invest in something you love, but that you can take with you when you leave your rental. Art is the best way, and you can find tons of beautiful, inexpensive art on sites like eBay or etsy.com, or splurge on one piece you'll keep forever. If your landlord allows it, paint is always a quick and easy way to revamp a space and make it your own.

Why did it take almost 30 years to stop the NYPD from arresting thousands of poor, mostly black, people under three void laws?
n January 2004, Eddie Wise was sitting in the holding pen of Bronx Civil Court, waiting to be arraigned after his latest arrest, when he spotted Lisa C. Cartier Giroux, a lawyer he knew from Bronx Defenders, a non-profit organization that represents the indigent. Wise got Giroux's attention and, from his holding pen, began proclaiming his innocence. Earlier that month, the 44-year-old homeless African-American man had been arrested on Fordham Road in the Bronx. His arrest report accused him of "engaging numerous pedestrians in conversation with his hand out requesting money." The exact charge facing Wise, who concealed his slight build beneath hoodies and baggy jeans and covered his cornrows with a do-rag, was a violation of New York's law against loitering "in a public place for the purpose of begging." In his mind, though, he wasn't loitering at all. He was working. You see, Wise titled himself a professional street hustler even though most of us would call what he did for a living begging. He was the guy lingering in front of the liquor store asking you for a "reasonable donation" on your way out, the guy promising to "protect" your car from vandals in exchange for a "tip." Despite a recurring drug problem, he was able-bodied. He'd held regular jobs. Begging simply allowed him to make his own hours and be his own boss.
Giroux listened to Wise and agreed to look into it. When she went back to Bronx Defenders, she ran a quick computer search and learned something surprising. Wise's hunch that he had been illegally arrested was right, albeit for a different reason than he suspected. The loitering law Wise had been arrested under some twenty times in two years had been ruled unconstitutional nearly 15 years earlier. Back in 1990, a group of fed-up panhandlers from Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan's East Village had convinced a court that if the Salvation Army could loiter while soliciting funds, on the street or door-to-door, so could they. The court struck the law down.
Five months after meeting Wise, Giroux was able to get all his loitering charges thrown out, including two he accumulated after they met. But now that Wise knew he had been falsely arrested, he wasn't satisfied with the dismissals. He wanted the city to pay for having abused his rights. Giroux handed Wise's case over to McGregor Smyth, who runs Bronx Defenders' civil unit. Smyth in turn enlisted his fellow Yale Law graduate Katie Rosenfeld, who worked at Emily Celli Brickerhoff & Abady, one of the country's leading civil rights firms.
Attorneys at Bronx Defenders had heard of arrests like Wise's and seen a few other clients complaining about them. Most were also poor African-American men. The attorneys didn't know how many had been wrongly arrested under the void loitering law or whether race had anything to do with it. But the lawyers suspected that the problem was far bigger than Wise and the handful of other people they had met. Together, they started working on a scheme to stop the city from enforcing the void law.
Loitering became a crime in New York in the 1870s, when northern elites passed stiff laws ordering officers to clear the streets of idle, mostly Irish and Italian, paupers. The New York laws traced their origins to medieval English anti-begging laws.
The first recorded law aimed at beggars appeared in England after the Black Death wiped out half of Europe's population between 1348 and 1350. In the pandemic's wake, the number of beggars mushroomed. Unable to secure from the landed elite the wages they wanted, surviving farm hands fled their jobs. Penniless, they began roaming the country, begging. Pat Smith is a University of Michigan-Dearborn economist who has studied anti-begging laws. "Feudalistic societies were coming to an end," she says "and all of a sudden strangers began to appear in villages looking for assistance." The landed elite responded by banning it.
The beggars probably annoyed them, but their real goal was controlling labor. With so many killed by the plague, the industrializing country needed workers. And with capitalism emerging, beggars could not be allowed to operate outside of the labor market and in blatant defiance of the laws of supply and demand. Doing that would have "indicted the promise of capitalism," says Smith. Thus, in 1349 King Edward III

Betty J. Whitemarsh
Betty Jane Whitemarsh (Martin), 86, of Sauk City, Wisconsin passed away on Monday, April 1, 2013 at her home in Prairie du Sac. Betty was a caring and loving daughter, mother, sister, grandmother and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Betty was born on March 10, 1927, the daughter of Ray and Adeline Martin. She born and raised in Chicago, IL and later finished high school in Omro, WI. Betty is survived by her six children, Broni Maranger (Mark) - Oregon, Dr. Darylann Whitemarsh- Oshkosh, Dennis Whitemarsh- Princeton, Wayne Whitemarsh (Pam)-Sauk City , Brian Whitemarsh (Mary)-Hudson, and Gordon Whitemarsh (Marie)-Wisconsin Rapids. She is survived by twenty-one grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren on the way. She is also survived by her three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Gordon Whitemarsh.
From the time Betty was a child she pursued life with passion and a zest that has been unmatched. She believed in giving one hundred percent of herself in everything that she did. Betty also shared a deep love from a young age for people, the theatre, and music. She loved singing and wouldn't just sing, but she would let the songs come from her soul. She loved brightening the faces of the people dear to her through songs and laughter, and carried that passion with her throughout her entire life.
Betty married the love of her life, Gordon Earl Whitemarsh, on Feb 21, 1948. Dad was her greatest love and she loved building a life with him and her six children. By far, her husband and children were Betty's greatest passions in life as she thrived caring for them and watching them grow. Her delight increased as she became a nana and great-grandmother to many devoted grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She truly loved the simple moments shared with her family. Betty lived for the moments when her family was all together and she loved all the energy generated from having each person she loved in one place. She was very proud of her family and of her Italian and Irish roots. She always took the opportunity to tell her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of past memories and family members. Betty not only was a homemaker, but she also was her husband's side when it came to business. Gordon started a real estate business in 1960 and Betty was right beside him through that process from day one. She worked in the office and filled it with her warmth and energy. They were a team and best friends in every sense of the word. Former clients still ask about Betty and share stories about her energy and humor when they talk to the family. Betty truly lived a life well lived. She had such a deep sense of self and such an acute awareness of others. She truly loved the people in her life, from her friends to her family. If Betty was with us now she'd cheer us up with a few songs and encourage us to be positive and to cherish the past memories. She'd also tell us to look ahead, treasure one another, and concentrate on the present moment, because those were the moments that were so dear to her. We will miss our Betty Jane, mother, friend, sister, grandmother and great grandmother, but we will forever remember the beautiful times that we shared with her. Her animated stories, contagious laughter, and giving heart will be remembered for a lifetime and will live on throughout each one of us who was blessed enough to share a relationship with her. Goodbye for now, Mom and Nana. We love you dearly and will forever miss you.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 11:30 am at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, 115 Madison St., Sauk City, with Fr. John Blewett officiating. A visitation will be held before mass from 9:00 am until 10:45 am at HOOVERSON FUNERAL HOME, 251 Water St., Sauk City.

The Grace Card - DVDMichael Higgenbottom, Michael Joiner, David G. Evans
When Mac McDonald loses his son in an accident, the ensuing 17 years of bitterness and pain erodes his love for his family and leaves him angry with God and just about everyone else. His rage stonewalls his career in the police department and makes for a combustible situat... Read More
Mac's home life is as frightening as anything he encounters on the streets of Memphis. Money is tight and emotions run high as he constantly argues with his wife and his surviving son Blake, who is hanging with the wrong crowd and in danger of flunking out of school. Sam Wright never expected to be a police officer. He has a calling to be a minister like his Grandpa George. But leading a small, start-up church does not always put enough food on the table for a young family, so Sam doubles as a police officer. With his new promotion to Sergeant, Sam starts questioning if his real calling might actually be police work rather than the pastorate.
Can Mac and Sam somehow join forces to help one another when it seems impossible for either of them to look past their differences, especially the most obvious one?
Every day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and heal deep wounds by extending and receiving God's grace. Offer The Grace Card, and never underestimate the power of God's love.
Stars Louis Gossett, Jr, Michael Higgenbottom and Michael Joiner.

Similar story line to "Courageous" with a twist. It was well done with a very unexpected ending. God is so generous to give us His Grace.
- personal opinion by BeBe on 3/11/2012
This is a great movie! It is a little harsh to some but hits close to home in many families. This is a great lesson of forgiveness. It is similar to Courageous. The acting isn't the best but very touching.
- The Power of Grace! by Cheryl on 2/12/2012
This movie was great! We saw it in the theatre with another couple. My friend's husband looked at her when she cried during one scene. At the end of the movie, everyone in the theatre was crying, including him. A very powerful message that should be seen by all.

I didn't ask for it, but since the remarks had turned to personal attacks about me and my job (which I happen to be pretty good at), I can't say I'm sorry. Chris certainly has White Knight timing.
As for this thread--I don't have a clue, except it might be one of my dog's birthdays. I'll have to break out the frozen peas and carrots.

Great for $30
Pros: great fit, washable
Cons: bloated bass, recessed mids and highs
Intro Let me start by saying this is my first review here on head-fi and I would appreciate any feedback good or bad. Also I purchased these for $30 and will be reviewing them as $30 earphones. Design I think that the design is my favorite part about these earphones. I have always had issues with earphones falling out and never being able to move with them in my ears. That is not an issue at all with these once they are in my ears they are there until I want them out. This is great particularly for working out which is what I use these earphones for mainly. These earphones are very customizable and this great fit should be attainable for everyone. ...(read more)

IRVINE – Parents and pupils at Turtle Rock Elementary on Friday showered cards, balloons, gifts and words of encouragement on Darleene Hoag, their beloved, 14-year crossing guard. It was her 90th birthday.
Children and parents honked, waved and shouted "happy birthday" from their cars and school buses.
Those who were walking handed her cards and gifts such as plants, flowers and plenty of chocolate.
Chocolate is her favorite food – "and they know it," Hoag said.
A giant banner taped on the wall behind her morning post was signed by at least 100 teachers, jpupils and parents.
"I'm amazed," Hoag said about the big deal that school staffers, parents and kids made of her 90th birthday.
Hoag retired as a secretary at 62, but that lasted about three months.
"I got so bored, I had to do something," she said. She applied for the crosswalk gig and has been at it ever since.
She's out there every school day – rain, shine, or 100-degree weather, parents said. Her shifts are 7:20 to 8:20 a.m. and 1:45 to 3 p.m.
The only school day she's missed in 14 years was the day she had surgery for cancer in her wrist, Hoag said. That was a Friday, and she recuperated the following week, which was spring break.
Hoag is an employee of Irvine Police Department, but her heart belongs to the Turtle Rock school community.
"We love her, absolutely love her," parent Patricia Diaz said. "She is totally an inspiration to us. We are so happy to celebrate her birthday with her."
Diaz's youngest son, Bruno, became friends with Hoag when he was 3, accompanying his mother and siblings on their walk to school. Bruno insisted that his mother buy him a bright vest and small stop sign so he could look like her. Hoag gave him a whistle, and for the next year and a half Bruno guarded the crosswalk with Hoag as her little helper, Diaz said.
"She is so inspiring, so youthful," said parent Mary Iwata. "My own grandmother could not do what she does. She is so great with the kids. It is sweet to have a woman like her in our community. She deserves all of this attention. The kids are very familiar with her, and they feel secure because of her."
"She is an absolute treasure," said parent Michael Robinson-Dorn. "She makes everyone happy. Her work is part of the kids' routine and she makes them feel so welcome. There could not be a better ambassador for the school."
"She is very special," said parent Sunanda Tyagi. "The kids are very safe with her. They all obey her all the time. They never go out until she blows her whistle. And she always has a smile."
Hoag lives in Irvine's Woodbridge Village, which is about five miles away from Turtle Rock Elementary. Last year, she was given the chance to move to a different school that was just one block from her home. She could walk, rather than drive. She thought about it overnight but decided to stay put at Turtle Rock.
"I wouldn't leave these kids for anything in the world," she said.
Her family is throwing a "big party" for her at noon Saturday, she said.
Hoag, who has been widowed twice, is not a native resident.
"I was born in Chicago and raised in California," she said. She moved to Irvine in 1996.
Hoag survived breast cancer, and participates in Susan G. Komen for the Cure events.
"I consider myself very blessed," she said.
She's also a raving Lakers fan.
"I'm proud to be a Laker Grannie," says the license-plate frame on her car.
She's pleased with the team's recent selection of Mike D'Antoni as head coach.
"I like him very much," she said.

Photoshop File Stuck In My Cd Writing Drive?

You don't say if you or on a Mac or PC. This method will only work with PC's
If your PC is a "tower" and the drive has a drawer that shoots out to load the cd, then look for a very small hole perhaps in the lower front of the drive (either side depending on the make).
If you can see this hole, you will need a paper clip or similar. Unfold the paper clip and push the end of the wire into the hole. This should trip the interlocks on the drawer and release the disc.
This will not work on a "slot" type drive as far as I know.
Hope this helps!
I Love My Mac Because All My Friends Live In It!

Sorry, my bad?? I forgot to say I have a PC. The cd was not stuck in there at all, it was only the 2 photoshop files that were stuck in there? could not replace them, rename them, drag them anywhere, and would not delete the files , I shut down, rebooted, shut the power strip off overnight? Nothing worked, as a result could not use the cd writer? I have only had this experience w/ photoshop files, but in the past a simple reboot, or overnight shutdown, would then allow me to drag it into the bin or delete it? this went on for 4 days?? finally I kept on trying and finally it let me drag it into the bin? I did manage to saved a copy of it in a PNG file, so I could still use it, and it is fine, no problems? you can still minipulate it in that form also. So incase anyone ever has this happen, know it's safer w/ a PNG file than the photoshop, as sometimes most files are fine, but you never know when you get a touchy file that will wreak havoc??? Now if I only knew how I solved it?? Thank you for all your help everybody! Happy Scrapping!!
Is your disc stuck in the drive or are you saying that your files are stuck in the "Files waiting to be written to disc" folder? I had the 2nd happen once with XP, and they were in there forever. They refused to be deleted. I wish I could remember how I finally got rid of them. You might be able to use a third party program to burn,like Roxio. I just googled the problem and found several possible solutions for XP or Vista. You might have to try several things before you find one that works. Good luck!

No that is another whole deal? I try and keep it simple a little goes a long way w/ this PC// It is quirky, for sure! It's the only PC I have ever heard of that after everyone bugged me to defrag it?? They all said it would free up space, and run better?? NOT! It made it take more space up and ran the same? So like I say less is more, if everything else is OK, then I just concentrate on the task at hand. Unfortunately I know more than most of the people I know, about computers, and the programs I use to create and scrap with?? So other than my comp tech, that is $100.00 an hour?? I had no one to help me?? You guys are great! Thanx for all your replies! Now, I just wish I knew what I did to resolve it? I tried for several days, and then I did something that worked, by then I was so excited to get it to the bin and empty it, that I really don't know how I managed it?? Sorry?? Wish I could tell you all, incase it ever happens to you?? At least it's good to know we have each other to bounce ideas off of! Thanx again!! Disaster deleted!! FINALLY!!
Just curious, since you have a PC. Did you try doing a system restore and resetting it back several days before the incident?

ECO PRO Mode.
As soon as you switch to the ECO PRO Mode, everything is geared towards greater efficiency and depending on your individual driving style, this results in a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 20 per cent (according to an internal BMW fuel consumption study).
The additional functions of coasting (with Steptronic transmission only), preview assistant and ECO PRO Route (both with Navigation system Professional only) enable another five per cent of savings potential. This mode optimises accelerator and transmission response as well as shift points, and intelligently adapts the heating/air conditioning strategy. The Control Display shows you which EfficientDynamics technologies are currently lowering your fuel consumption. You'll also receive ECO PRO tips that relate to your current driving situation to help you boost efficiency even further.
Another feature of the ECO PRO Mode is the coasting function in combination with Steptronic transmission: if within a speed range of 50–160 km/h the driver takes their foot off the accelerator and does not brake, the system disconnects the engine and the car coasts – i.e. rolls without engine power.
The preview assistant in conjunction with Navigation system Professional is an especially innovative highlight of ECO PRO Mode. Based on navigation data, it detects bends, built-up areas, roundabouts, T junctions, speed limits and motorway exits along the route and is able to give you tips in advance to enable you to reduce speed early on. The proactive driving assistant also efficiently controls the coasting function.
ECO PRO Mode also includes ECO PRO Route which combines with the new generation of Navigation system Professional to draw on various parameters such as individual driving style as well as the current traffic situation and road conditions to calculate the most fuel-efficient route. The on-board computer displays your bonus mileage, in other words how many additional kilometres you have gained from using ECO PRO Mode.
