Ok! I'm usually up on all the new hip gotta read books and apparently, I was behind the eight ball on this one. Two weeks ago, I picked up OK Magazine and in the back of the magazine it featured a brief interview with author E L James about her book "Fifty Shades of Grey". She said she was inspired by Twilight (the love story between Bella and Edward). I dog eared the page and went straight to Amazon and ordered all three books: Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades of Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed. In the interim, I text three of my girlfriends to see if they have heard of the book. One has but hasn't read it and the others have not. Within an hour, I get a text from my other friend Jen in Michigan saying her friend Brooke was reading this book called "Fifty Shades of Grey", have I read it? I told her I just ordered it. It arrives prior to the weekend and I'm a little hectic. Within 24 hours, everyone I know is talking about this book. After a day of gardening Saturday, I sit down to start the book.
My neighbor has her friends in from St. Louis and as I'm being introduced to them we start talking about books and it comes out I'm reading "the book". Everyone does the "OOOO!" like girls do –when they are reading it too. One cannot get through it, she finds it disturbing. The other has finished the first one and waves her hand to her friend and says, "Get over it…all will be revealed in book 2". Of course, now I'm intrigued. At this point – I'm only in the 70's of the first book, not even close to the D & S. I'm not going to ruin anything for those that have not read it. I was really getting into the book when a friend came over Saturday night so I had to put it down. I picked it back up that Sunday and read it all day into the evening finishing it that Monday before work. The talk continues when I go to my friends on Monday. Her cousin is in town reading the book. We have a discussion on what Christian should look like and I tell her how I started this blog post. It never got posted last week because I was too busy reading the second and third book which I finished this past Monday. I told her I was googling who I thought should play Christian. I said he has to be pretty, but have the ability to look rugged. My first thought was Matt Bomer, who is utterly gorgeous and sexy.
Tell me he wouldn't be perfect as the corporate guy. He's got the right look. Tossled hair – looks good in a suit. The guy needs to be versatile.
Eyes so piercing – makes you melt (see below). Yes, that's what Christian does.
Kinky Christian (below).
Christian in his white shirt below….hmm. Holy Hotness.
The challenge for me is I found out he was gay and while I would never discriminate – it's hard to now picture him playing that role. Would that change your viewpoint of him playing this role? He is physically perfect. My girlfriend Jen suggested Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights. He does have the kind of look that could work. What do you think?
Of course Christian's hair wouldn't be so perfect, but I could envision Mr. Christian's perfect chest looking like this in his jeans he always wears.
Christian's brushing his teeth look
Corporate Christian above with dark Christian below.
Deep in thought Christian with sad eyes and just holy hotness.
My third option and my lusty pick is Mr. Ian Somerhalder from Vampire Diaries. If any of you watch the show, you know his character is very dark. He is perfect. He's able to switch between good and evil. You see glimpses of his vulnerability but then he can flip on a dime. He's got this character down. I mean down. Yes, BTW, I admit I watch Vampire Diaries - I was hooked from season one.
Step into my office Christian.
He has that wicked crooked smile and piercing eyes. Christian would look at Anastasia this way.
Bathtub Christian.
After sex hair.
The long and short of it is – I finished all three books in a week. Yes, I was sucked in. Now I'm in mourning. I want a fourth book. I love how they ended the third book and wish she would do a fourth from that perspective.
OK, who do you think should play Christian Grey and Anastasia? The jury is still out for me on who I think should play Anastasia. She has to have long legs, crazy dark hair, be naturally pretty but when dressed up super sexy. I thought of Ian's co-star Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries. She's very beautiful glammed up but is really natural on the show.
Who do you have pictured in your head??? I'm dying to hear!

By Abby Schultz JeeYeon Park, CNBC.com
Stocks finished lower for the fifth-consecutive week after the disappointing government jobs report in addition to other weak economic news throughout the week indicated signs of a slowdown.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 97 points, recovering from a 144-point drop earlier in the session.
AmEx and DuPont were among the blue-chip laggards. And tech bellwether Cisco tumbled to multi-year lows.
The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq also finished lower. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, slipped 0.77 percent to finish at 17.95.
All key S&P sectors finished lower this week, the first time since the 2010 market lows in July.
For the week, the Dow declined 2.33 percent, the S&P shed 2.29 percent and the Nasdaq dropped 2.32 percent.
This is the first time the Dow has fallen five weeks in a row since July 2004, and the first time for the five-week stream by the S&P 500 since July 2008.
The fact the S&P 500 has moved back above 1,300 after it broke through that level earlier in the day may be a good sign that the market isn't ready to move much lower, said Marc Pado, market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald.
But the fact stocks remain lower reflects caution on the part of traders. "You're going to have a lot of negative headlines over the weekend plastered everywhere," Pado said. "I'd rather go out the weekend a little bit cautious, and not be too long or too aggressive."
Stocks took a hit at the open after nonfarm payrolls rose by only 54,000 in May, the smallest increase for jobs since September 2010, according to the Labor Department. Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected to see 150,000 jobs added in May after a gain of 244,000 jobs in April, an 11-month high.
Private payrolls gained 83,000, while government payrolls fell 29,000, the government said. The unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent, instead of falling to 8.9 percent, as expected.
"It's hard to look at the report and see any strength here," John Canally, economist at LPL Financial said of the jobs news, adding that the weakness isn't surprising at this point in an economic recovery.
"You tend to get some data that's choppy two years into a recovery," he said. "This is one of these times when the data is not all good."
Canally doesn't think the job news warrants a third round of bond buying or quantitative easing. But talk of what the market calls "QE3" emerged immediately after the numbers were released.
"Arguing about the merits of whether QE3 would be a good idea, is irresponsible right now," said Todd Schoenberger, managing director at LandColt Trading. "It would be proactive for the FOMC to discuss, and develop a strategy for implementing QE3; because it's painfully clear the United States is headed for a very messy second half of 2011."
There's a feeling, Schoenberger added, that the selling pressure will continue.
"It makes you very nervous as an equities trader going into this summer. There's not even a feeling of caution anymore, it's an uneasy nervousness that a lot of us will be carrying for a little while now," he said.
Stocks pared some losses following the ISM's report that the pace of growth in the services sector picked up modestly in May while gauges of new orders and employment climbed.
Tech stocks were in the red with semiconductors such as Marvell Tech, Nvidia and Broadcom sliding broadly.
Research In Motion sagged after at least two brokerages cut price targets on the BlackBerry maker amid concerns over the firm's inability to tackle competition from rivals Apple and Google.
But the energy sector gained, led by oil services companies after the CEO of Baker Hughes said he expects the second half the year to be better.
Halliburton also climbed after RBC raised its price target on the oil driller to $65 from $60.
Chevron ticked higher even after news of an explosion at the firm's oil refinery in southwest Wales. The oil giant also said the sale of the facility to Valero Energy remains on track, and its output was not affected, according to reports.
Wal-Mart gained slightly after the big-box retailer's board approved a new share buyback program worth $15 billion to replace its existing program.
Shares of Quiksilver jumped more than 10 percent after the apparel retailer posted results that beat estimates, helped by robust domestic sales. In addition, Piper Jaffray raised the firm to "overweight" from "neutral."
Newell Rubbermaid saw the biggest percentage drop on the S&P 500, tumbling more than 10 percent, after the storage container maker cut its forecasts for the year and said current quarter results will miss expectations.
Orexigen Therapeutics plunged more than 30 percent after news the FDA would not approve the drug Contrave, an obesity drug.
GT Solar International jumped after news the solar and LED equipment maker received a $460.4 million order from a Chinese firm.
And Tesla gained after news that electric car maker was able to price a share offering at a higher price than expected. Funds from the offering will be used to develop Tesla's Model X SUV.
The dollar declined against a basket of currencies after the jobs report and as the euro surged after the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank completed an inspection of Greece, and will make a tranche of international aid available for the troubled nation by early July.
Oil prices were mostly flat as U.S. light, sweet crude slipped 18 cents, to settle at $100.22 a barrel, while London Brent crude traded around $116 a barrel.
In Europe, stocks ended lower and posted their sharpest weekly loss in 2-1/2 months, while traders in Asia braced for policy tightening for China over the weekend.

Golden Expectations
Above are five of the six Bradley students who will be interning with NBC in Sochi, Russia, during the Olympics.
By Matt Hawkins
January 31, 2014
Eighteen Bradley University students are experiencing the Olympics thrill as NBC interns, with six on site in Sochi, Russia, and 12 at NBC Sports Group facilities in Stamford, Conn.
Front-line interns will log video, serve as production assistants and handle hospitality-related duties. Stateside interns will follow sports and edit video.
"This is the kind of thing students dream of, and I am lucky enough to get to experience it," said junior Dee Moore. "This is the kind of on-the-job experience you can't get in a classroom."
Junior Anna Wilks is on the hospitality staff in Sochi, where she's busy guiding guests and facilitating meet-and-greet events. She's following in the footsteps of her great-uncle, the late Jack Kelly, who worked much of his life with the Olympics. Kelly worked on two Olympics festivals, consulted two Olympics bids by Houston, Texas, and was a president for the Goodwill Games.
"It's cool that I get to experience everything he had for past years," Wilks said. "Hearing his stories, I can add on and tell my stories. It's cool that I get to go and experience this. He'd tell me stories, so it's cool to live on his legacy."
Senior Lee Pikelny is using his experience working for Bradley athletics and the Peoria Rivermen as a video logger in Sochi. He saw the global stage as a prime opportunity for his classmates to showcase the university.
"The Olympics is as global as you're going to get," he said. "This is gigantic for Bradley getting its name out there."
Stamford interns are working at NBC Sports Group's recently constructed facilities. Moore is learning large-scale production by monitoring and editing clips for NBC's non-broadcast content generator Highlights Factory. This is experience he values for his future.
"Having this opportunity will hopefully help me in the future as well, not only on my resume, but with the contacts I can make while in Stamford," she said. "I will have the chance to network with NBC employees as well as students from other schools."
NBC interviewed 36 applicants in March 2013 before selecting the interns. During the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, 10 Bradley students interned with the broadcast giant for the first time.

A consortium led by the University of Delaware (UD) on Wednesday (Nov. 2) said that it could receive nearly $53 million in funding — with the bulk of the money coming from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) — to more than double the efficiency of terrestrial solar cells within the next 50 months.
The technology hopes to bring solar energy for soldiers on the battlefield. It is also aimed for commercial applications as well.
The University's Consortium for Very High Efficiency Solar Cells, which consists of 15 universities, corporations and laboratories, could receive up to $33.6 million from Darpa, if all options are awarded, and another $19.3 million from UD and corporate team members.
Those corporate members may include DuPont, BP Solar, Corning Inc., LightSpin Technologies and Blue Square Energy.
The Darpa program calls upon the consortium to develop and produce 1,000 Very High Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) prototypes that are affordable and that operate at efficiencies of at least 50 percent. Currently, high-end solar cells operate at a peak efficiency of 24.7 percent, and solar cells off the production line operate at 15-20 percent efficiency.
The consortium's goal is to create solar cells that operate at about 54 percent efficiency in the laboratory and 50 percent in production.
The VHESC would have immediate application in the military, which increasingly relies upon a variety of electronics for individual soldiers and the equipment that supports them. As well, it is expected the solar cells will have a large number of commercial applications.
"When successfully completed, the Very High Efficiency Solar Cell technology will be a breakthrough in providing portable power to the soldier in the field," Douglas Kirkpatrick, program manager for Darpa, said in a statement.

2011 Volvo C30 BEVPosted by Car at 10:01 PM
Volvo presented a driveable prototype electric car in September 2009. Volvo C30 BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) is now being shown at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit companies to take one further step in the development process. Both feature a full interior and full instrumentation, as well as improved battery packs.
"The first prototype to help us identify the main technological challenges, such as battery packs and safety issues. We have discussed this challenge without sacrificing cool the Volvo C30 and fun-to-drive my personality. very pleased with the results. Volvo C30 in Detroit electric BEV is a much more complete product, "said Lennart Stegland, Director Volvo Car Special Vehicles.
The next step in 2010 is a factory-built series of test cars. Selected users will drive the test fleet during a two-year trial period in order to provide Volvo Cars with valuable experience. Not just technical but also behavioural.
The Swedish Energy Agency is supporting the project by contributing SEK 150 million towards its funding.

|7 companies that are beating the odds
There are no translations available.
Warren Buffett quips that when the tide goes out, you can see who's not wearing a bathing suit. And he's right: Recessions separate weak companies from strong ones.
The companies that handle a downturn best, particularly in the hardest-hit industries, are likely to lead when the economy rebounds.
Few sectors have been hit harder than the U.S. auto industry, making Ford Motor -- so far -- one of today's most obvious odds beaters.
Ford is the only major U.S. automaker that hasn't needed a bailout or gone into bankruptcy, because it was smart enough to raise a lot of cash a few years back. And there's another key factor: "Over the past couple of years, Ford has made a lot of improvements in quality," says David Whiston, who covers Ford for Morningstar.
In 2007, Ford won more initial-quality survey awards from J.D. Power and Associates than any other automaker. This year, Ford placed above the industry average for dependability, with blue-oval nameplates such as the Focus, Fusion and Taurus beating even well-respected rivals from BMW, Mercedes and Volvo.
Higher quality is one reason so many Ford models are now hits. Last month, Ford sales dropped just 10.7%, compared with a decline of 28% for the U.S. auto industry overall and pullbacks of 32% for Toyota Motor and 29% for Honda Motor. Incentives helped. Raising all that money a few years ago was also key to Ford's relative success in June. "If you're a consumer who is anti-bailout and wants to buy American, there's only one kind of car you can buy," Whiston says. That would be Ford.
Still, problems abound. Ford is leaking cash. Whiston doesn't expect it to break even until 2011. And Ford's product mix is too heavily tilted toward gas guzzlers such as SUVs. If the economy continues to sputter, Ford may yet need a bailout. So even though Ford is defying the odds right now, it's riskier than most names on this list.

Liberty News
UPDATE: Student will appear on NBC's 'Weekend TODAY' show on Saturday, March 3
UPDATE: The "Weekend TODAY" show originally planned to air Barrick's story on Sunday, Feb. 26. Her story will now air on Saturday, March 3. She will be speaking in convocation on Friday, March 13. Jennifer and her mother, Linda, were interviewed on the "Fox & Friends" television show on March 1. View the interview here. For a longer, after-show interview, click here.
Jennifer Barrick, a 20-year-old Women's Ministry major at Liberty University, will appear on NBC's "Weekend TODAY" television show on Saturday, March 3. The show airs from 7-9 a.m. EST.
She will be telling the story of her miraculous recovery from a near-fatal car wreck on Nov. 5, 2006, in which she and her parents, Andy and Linda, and younger brother, Josh, were hit head-on by a drunk driver going 80 miles per hour a mile from their home near Lynchburg.
Jennifer's life changed the most, suffering multiple skull fractures and severe brain trauma. While doctors did not expect her to live through the night, she survived and came out of a coma five weeks later.
When she awoke she could not remember her family, what a toothbrush was or most details about her life. However, she remembered Jesus and every word to every praise song and Scripture she knew before the wreck.
Jennifer has recovered beyond any doctor's expectations. Though she still suffers from memory loss and vision impairment, with the help of friends, she has been able to continue her studies at Liberty.
Jennifer and her mother have had the opportunity to travel around the country to share their family's story, ministering to others.
Linda Barrick details the events of the life-changing accident in her book "Miracle for Jen," scheduled to be released March 1. She will be interviewed live with Jennifer on the "Fox and Friends Morning Show" that day.
On March 7, Jennifer will be sharing her testimony during Liberty's convocation in the Vines Center, followed by a book signing.

We have seen Google add local results listings, with the compass image to remind us the result is local to our vicinity. We have seen the implementation of Google Images added to search results, as well as Froogle shopping results, each of which has been unobtrusively added to the results page so as to not disrupt the user experience. This uninterupted user experience is what the company was built on.
There have been a few less subtle changes that have come along in the past few days that change the look of areas already touched by Google and redesigned into the SERP pages. There are now Book Results that are displayed based on the user query, provided by one specific sotre. After typing in a search for "cable TV," I really did not see a book being relevant to my search query. After looking at the book title, understood what Google wants to do, which is, to offer me almost any choice of media I may be interested in, from one page.
Additionally on the paid side of Google, there is now a third link being added up top in the sponsored listings. I saw this when I searched for cable TV, so I didn't have to do too much research to find it.
Well there is no putting off the real reason I am writing and that, ladies and gentleman, is the organic results listings have been changed!
Funny as it may seem, I had posted in another SEO forum about a month ago that Google would need to further monetize the organic results listings now that they are a publicly held corporation. Charged with growing share value, the bean counters are hard at work looking for methods to earn additional revenue through the organic search results pages.
A few may not understand this, but when an accountant looks at the search engine results pages, he sees a money-losing proposition. Were it not for the pay per click ads, the expense Google would incur providing millions of pages of information for free would soon lead to financial disaster.
Typically, users do not search past the first three pages of results on any search engine, so the 100s and at times 1,000s of pages Google has behind these pages are a drain more than an asset. Indexing and providing them is a constant expense without as much reward as indexing the leading pages. Perhaps this move is designed to extend the pages searched through from 3 to 5 or 6.
{mospagebreak title=Shuffling Organic Results}
The trouble that the bean counters may not see is that Google's new reshaping of the free results pages could also spell financial disaster. Google has begun adding another referral, much like the one that comes up if you misspell a word, but this new offering replaces the results one would normally see in position numbers 6, 7, and 8.
You did read it correctly; Google replaces the free results listing in positions 6, 7, and 8 with referrals for related results of both commercial and non-commercial interests.
The term piggy bank is undergoing the "new UI," as Google calls it. Do a search for the keyword "piggy bank." If you scroll down to position 6 through 8 you will see the referral as, "See results for: piggy bank lyrics." In the illustration below, the red box highlights what I am talking about. The box is not actually a part of the SERPs.
I then did a search for piggy bank lyrics. The three results Google refers users to when typing in piggy bank were the sites listed in positions 1, 2, and 3 for "piggy bank lyrics."
Somebody told me to enter "Add URL" as another term where the changes are made. Sure enough, Google suggests refining the search to "Add URL to Google." The first space is a self referral (back to Google), then two links concerning adding your URL to Google. Now at the bottom there are two additional text links to refine your search: "Also see add URL to Google" and "Google add URL." A search totally unrelated to Google now shoves their services in your face.
{mospagebreak title=Why Would Google Change Free SERPs?}
A few of us in the SEM industry such as ClickZ and MediaPost felt this move was a commercial one, and others took exception with this stance. They said it was strictly for added user value. It is truly amazing how businessmen with major revenue producing websites can look at Google and see everything as a user enhancement…as if Google doesn't need to earn revenue. Come on people! Wake up! Returning SERPs that the user did not request is not user enhancement by any imagination; it's manipulation.
I was told I was wrong by one of the elder SEO statesmen in the industry, over at SEW Forums, only to have him come back and post Google's own admittance in the next post. Even he admitted that there was a commercial aspect behind it.
Google is testing an automated technique for detecting when an alternate query might help users find what they are looking for more quickly. For these searches, which are both commercial and non-commercial in nature, Google displays one or more alternate queries together with a preview of their top results
The most glaring example of the commercial aspect is found when doing a search for "on demand" as the keyword term. Using that search term, we now see results in positions 6, 7, and 8 replaced by three (3) different results listings for Comcast Cable Corp.
Unlike piggy bank used above, the results returned in the referral do not exist in positions 1, 2, or 3 when doing searches for on demand services, on demand listings, on demand shows, on demand programs, on demand time, and others.
Search engine marketers and SEO specialists, pay attention. For a number of keywords, this means that trying to be in Google's top 10 is out of the question. Google has turned a fair goal like that into needing to be in rank 5 or higher to get noticed for sure. Any lower than that, and Google users may not see you. If results 6 through 8 are replaced, this could distract users into shrugging off the rest of the results as less relevant. Or they may scan subsequent pages and just not bother looking at results 5-10. We have yet to see how this changes matters, but it sure is going to alter how everyone reads the Google results.
{mospagebreak title=Not for Profit? Give Me a Break}
Further looking at the company which Google has given three referrals to, it is hard not to see the commercial implications. How does Google choose which "on demand" provider they should supply? Why does asking for on demand mean that I want to see Comcast pages that don't even properly rank in the SERPs? Comcast Cable Corporation has never had a problem admitting everything they do is geared toward earning revenue, in fact most corporations readily admit this. Even Gates admits it and does not try to sit behind the user enhancements as a ploy to make nice.
Google, though, for some reason has a huge problem with it. If this UI implementation was for users, then why was it not made public knowledge from their home page?
One of their engineer's blogs even went so far as to say the following:
Other folks will ask things like "Are queries selected by hand-can my query get in on this? Is money involved?" And the answer is: it's all algorithmic. The algorithms pick the queries where this could be helpful. Of course money isn't involved at all.
Of course money isn't involved at all? I never thought SEM could be dangerous till reading that blog post and falling off my chair laughing so hard. Talk about pie on an employees face.
Google needs to stop playing games with people's heads and be totally up-front about their need to change user experience in order to grow revenue. It is important to remember that since Google's stock jumped up to a bloated, unrealistic $300.00 per share, the value of shares would need to rise $30.00 to earn 10% growth.
This is not something easily accomplished when you allow statements to be tossed about that "of course money is not involved" and you then turn around a day or two later, and admit that money is indeed somewhat involved.
For a very long time, people felt Google would never touch the look of the ten organic listings that make up each page of their results pages. However it is now very apparent that things have changed since going public. The control at the top has switched hands to those obsessed with generating revenues and profits.

Confusing users is not the most productive way of instilling shareholder confidence.

If Google isn't careful, and if they don't get their act together very soon, we may see history repeat itself!

Yoga saved my life, but not in a chorale flash mob experience like you see on YouTube. Instead, it happened quietly and with practice over time, providing me with the physical ability to continue playing competitive golf and the emotional balance not to scream or weep should my computer crash. Twenty years ago when presenting the virtues of yoga and the mind-body connection, my fitness industry friends would chuckle or say with skepticism, "Right. We'll see how all that works out."
Today, yoga is the fastest growing exercise activity in America. Yoga practice is at the forefront of the health and wellness movement with participants increasing, according to Mediamark Research Inc., from 4.3 million in 2001 to 14.5 million in 2010. And the median household income of yoga participants is $87,161. More than 70 percent of fitness facilities offer yoga and other mind-body programs. So, how do we capitalize on this trend to serve the exponential growth of the yoga community?
Here are six steps to consider in advancing your yoga program and building community with the foundation (forgive me for stating the obvious) dependent on the abilities and intentions of your teachers.
1. Differentiate your yoga program from group fitness classes. Regardless of the class size, yoga is a personal experience. Yoga teachers must possess the self-confidence to move beyond simply leading students through a series of poses. Yoga requires teachers to have the skills, presence of mind and intelligence to teach each pose, the sequence and address individual needs simultaneously. Students that practice with teachers who have these abilities appreciate the difference.
2. Offer community classes at least once each week. Whether your classes are fee based or part of a membership, schedule community classes weekly and encourage members to bring their friends and co-workers. Offering discounts and passes enable people to experience the strengths of your program and teachers.
3. Diversify your class offerings. Structure classes to meet the needs of your community and name them clearly: Level 1 Easy Does It, Level 1 Relax and Restore, Level 2 Power Flow, etc. Students tend to lock in on a teacher and times that work for them, so broaden your appeal by presenting classes with cross-promotional value, such as Stress Less: Letting Go of the Daily Grind. Everyone enjoys an anxiety vacation.
4. Take your yoga wellness program to the people. Yoga presents unique opportunities to get off the mat and mobilize your program. All you need are gifted teachers to demonstrate value to a willing audience with public speaking engagements, corporate programs, health fairs, school or public events. Share the benefits of yoga and how you may be of service.
5. Raise your profile with special yoga workshops. Yoga tradition encourages studios to host visiting teachers for the presentation of specialized workshops and education programs. Diverse workshops and training, especially those that feature continuing education credits, sharpen the skills of your teachers, the practice of your students and raises your program's profile. They do require advance promotion, so plan at least six months in advance.
6. Special events and open houses. Look ahead to holidays and opportunities in the next quarter. In addition to workshops, plan special events or open houses regularly. Encourage members to invite their friends so they can meet your teachers, learn about the new schedule and have some fun. These events can feature yoga or cooking demonstrations, organic food, live music, whatever will attract the audience you intend to serve.
Yoga is about being in the moment, a place unburdened by the past or the future where we realize the experience of self and become better human beings. I once experienced a meditation class led by an aging surfer who said, "Find your center, man, or you are off your board." He was right. It's all about finding your center and staying on the board. I trust these ideas are helpful in developing your program and being of service through yoga.

Measure AA is all about wide open spaces, but there was little breathing room left on election night.
The June 3 vote on whether to authorize bond sales for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District was too close to call for a victory or defeat.
Voters residing within the sphere of influence of the open space district were asked whether to authorize the sale of up to $300 million in bonds that would be put toward a slew of projects aimed at public access, and acquiring and restoring open space.
As of press time on June 4, Measure AA was squeaking its way to passage with just over 66 percent vote in the affirmative, according to unofficial semifinal results from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.
As many as 25 projects are on tap. If approved, bond money would go toward more hiking, biking and equestrian trails and conserving additional open space areas like watersheds, redwood forests and farmlands.
A two-thirds majority vote is required for the bond measure to pass. The measure was voted on by residents in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties.
At press time, roughly 67.5 percent of the vote in Santa Clara County and 65 percent of votes in San Mateo County were in favor. The single vote from Santa Cruz County was also in favor, according to Smart Voter.
The measure is a general obligation bond that will raise an additional $300 million over approximately 20-30 years. If Measure AA passes, the district will have the authority to sell up to $300 million in general obligation bonds for capital improvements over the next 25-30 years at a rate that will range from $1 to a maximum of $3.18 per $100,000 of assessed property value, according to the district.
The taxes would likely be levied beginning in 2015-16, during the fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds, according to the impartial analysis by county counsel.
Seventeen cities and towns comprise the open space district, including the Santa Clara County cities of Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hills.
Projects tied to the passage of Measure AA were conceived during a 16-month visioning project that saw district staff and the public identify 54 priority actions, including a slate of 25 priority regional open space projects. The projects range from opening preserves and building trail connections to improving water quality, protecting the coastline, restoring forests, and creating wildlife corridors.
The Vision Plan was approved Jan. 29 by the district's board of directors. The plan will guide the district's work the next 20-40 years and beyond.
If passed, Measure AA revenue, by law, can only be used for capital projects to improve or increase public access, to purchase land, and to implement environmental restoration projects such as creek and waterway improvements. The measure will also see the creation of an expenditure plan detailing how the bond revenues would be used and for the creation of an Independent Citizen Oversight Committee made up of community members.
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District was created by voters in 1972. The district is charged with caring for 26 preserves and more than 225 miles of publicly-accessible trails, according to the district.
The open space district's seven-member board of directors voted unanimously Feb. 26 to present voters with the measure. Measure AA was the first time the district has asked the voters to vote on a funding measure.
Measure AA was opposed by the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association and wrote the official ballot argument against it. The association questioned how the money would be used and when it would be borrowed. The association also reminded voters that the bonds must be repaid with interest.
The association's rebuttal also referred to the $300 million bond as a tool to "turn an unused piece of land into an unused piece of land" and the cost as "mind-blowingly expensive."

Purchased infrequently but essential to foodservice, walk-in refrigeration units should be carefully considered prior to investment.
Walk-ins typically have a service life of approximately 15 years, but there are units that have been in operation for more than 20.
When purchasing a new unit, foodservice operators should consider a number of factors.
- Determine what products the walk-in will store. Depending on an item's density and temperature, it may take longer to pull down to the correct temperature, thus requiring a larger refrigeration system.
- To figure out the necessary capacity, keep in mind that 1 cubic foot of open storage area accommodates approximately 28 pounds of solid food.
- Doors are an important consideration, since they receive most of the day-to-day abuse. If frequently opened and closed, a heavy-duty door may be necessary. Automatic closing devices, like cam-lift hinges and a positive door closer, ensure the door isn't accidently left open. If it's necessary to see what's inside the walk-in, a view window should be specified. Kick plates on the door and inside the walk-in are also helpful in preventing damage. Strip curtains can help keep out unwanted outside air during high-volume use.
- Consider the weight and frequency of traffic to determine what type of flooring is necessary. If staff will use heavy-loaded to transport items into or out of the walk-in or there will be heavy shelving inside, a reinforced or structural floor may be appropriate.
- If the walk-in will have floor panels, interior or exterior floor ramps can provide easier access.
- Walk-ins require at least 2 inches of space between the walk-in ceiling and building as well as a minimum of 1 inch on all sides for proper ventilation.
- Determine if space requirements will change or if there will be a future need to move the walk-in. This would necessitate cam-locking panels, which provide easy dismantling of the unit.
- If the refrigeration system will operate in a hot environment, a larger size may be needed.
- Maximum use of storage space is another consideration. Polyurethane panels, because of their greater efficiency, can be much thinner and still meet R-factor requirements. As a comparison, it would take approximately 8 inches of polystyrene or 33 inches of solid wood to equal the insulation value of 4 inches of polyurethane. Thinner panels equal more usable space.
- For high-volume front of the house use, Stucco Galvalume has an embossed pattern that helps hide scratches, dents and blemishes.
- White interior finishes can create a brighter environment and make the walk-in's contents more visible.

Making A Commitment
Three weeks from today the most highly-recruited football player in the history of Monsignor Donovan High School will sign his national letter of intent with a school in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
However Brad Henson will not be heading to the University of Virginia as originally planned but will sign with the University of North Carolina.
The 6'5, 275 pound offensive lineman had verbally committed to the Cavaliers before his senior season began but de-committed after a visit to Chapel Hill last month combined with some changes to the UVA coaching staff.
North Carolina had always been in the recruiting mix and even after Henson announced he was going to Virginia coaches from UNC remained in contact with him. Once he visited the campus and school and met with the coaching staff the Tar Heels moved to the top of his list and among the other schools that he strongly considered were Miami, Wisconsin and Boston College.
North Carolina Head coach Larry Fedora made an in-home visit to the Henson's on Sunday and also in attendance was Donovan head coach Dan Duddy.
I sort of have this unwritten rule that I won't go to a high school basketball game for 15 days after the WOBM Christmas Classic comes to an end. After watching 52 games over 7 days during the holiday season I need my own break and it officially ended last night when I saw Christmas Classic champion Toms River North pull away in the second half for an 18-point victory over Toms River South.
Damien Singleton scored a game-high 18 points for the Mariners but the difference-maker was Solly Stansbury, who emerged from foul trouble to score 13 points, grab 9 rebounds and block 7 shots. North is in a three-way tie with Southern and Jackson Memorial in a Class A South race that should go down to the wire.
I'm going to reserve final judgment on Lance Armstrong until I watch his much talked about interview with Orpah Winfrey later in the week. However his fall from grace is about as complete as one could be and there is not a public relations firm in the world that could rebuild his image into a positive one.

AW Gear Meters
Since its foundation in 1984, AW Flow Meters has been designing, engineering, manufacturing and supplying high quality flow measurement equipment into oil & gas, agricultural, industrial and automotive markets around the world. Currently being sold under the AW brand are several different flow measurement technologies, though the AW name is primarily only known for one type. Therefore, the AW brand is being "re-focused" to specialize only in positive displacement gear meters, and the name is changing to reflect that, becoming AW Gear Meters. Because of our long history in the automotive sector and our solid reputation in the oil & gas industry for high quality yet affordable Gear Meters, we would like to see a new evolution of the AW logo, keeping the colors and still emphasizing the "AW". Our current logo is outdated and does not have a modern feel. We want the new logo to communicate the traits we've become known for:
• Superior Customer Service
• Durable, Reliable & Accurate Meters (strength, unfailing, precision)
• High Quality Standards
Our target audience would be Product & System Design Engineers, Purchasing Managers, General Managers, Maintenance & Repair Leaders, and Facility & Plant Operations Personnel in Oil & Gas Exploration & Production, Agricultural, Energy, General Industrial Processing & Manufacturing, and Chemical Processing industries.
• We are trying to achieve a clean, modern, technical or scientific feel.
• The logo should incorporate a stylized "AW" in lieu of an abstract icon.
• Logo will need to be provided in Adobe Illustrator (vector-based) format that can be enlarged as necessary.
• Prefer use of gradient and blends kept to a minimum or used in a way that they are easily removed when reproducing them becomes a problem.
• In addition, we would like to be able to have a font type that can be used for other items to keep the consistency throughout our branding.
• Logo must keep the red color of the existing logo, with black as secondary and possibly a 3rd color (optional).
Our current red color is PANTONE 032.

Albumen Glass Negative, by F.W. Scarratt of Derby
Image © and collection Brett Payne
This is the second of the two glass plate negatives purchased recently on eBay, both of which turned out to be originals from Derbyshire's first locally based picture postcard publisher, Frank W. Scarratt. It is not over-exposed, as the previous one was, and therefore required little in the way of digital manipulation to produce the image above, apart from inversion and desaturation of the original 24-bit colour scan. It depicts a group of young men waiting in line at the gates of Normanton Barracks, Derby, attended by a single soldier standing to attention, and with several onlookers - among them women and children - to the left of the entrance.
Image © and courtesy of Picture the Past Ref. DRBY000681
This particular postcard is not listed in Rod Jewell's Yesterday's Derby and its Districts, the authority on Scarratt's work, so presumably not many examples of the postcard print have survived intact. I did find a rather inferior, unattributed version of the image on Picture the Past (Ref. DRBY000681). The barracks were built between 1874 and 1877, and became the headquarters of the Sherwood Foresters in Derby until 1963; they were demolished in 1981-1982.
Detailed examination of the posters pasted to the columns of the gateway reveals the announcement of the Embodiment of the Territorial Force and the General Mobilization of the Army Reserve, these having taken place in August 1914. I can't claim to have read all that from the indistinct scanned image, but there was enough to make out the general form of the poster and the Yanks, naturally, came to the rescue once again for the rest. I found exact facsimiles of three, and one similar to the fourth, in the fine digitized collection of war posters and postcards from the University of Minnesota Media Archive.
Territorial Force, poster 43x34cm, 3 Jun 1914
General Mobilization Army Reserve, Poster 54x41cm, 11 Aug 1914
Images © and courtesy of University of Minnesota Media Archive
Scarratt had maintained his prolific output during 1914 (139 views), somewhat reduced to 79 views published in 1915, but this was his first postcard which betrayed any sign that there was a war on. Judging from the dates of publication of the posters and the postcard's series number, it could have been taken any time from late 1914 until mid-1915.
Your King & Country Needs You
Another 100,000 Men Wanted, poster 76x51cm, Aug 1914
A Call To Arms, poster 152x102cm, 24 Aug 1914

Great War recruiting posters
Images © and courtesy of Library of Congress
There is another poster or signboard at the right hand edge of the postcard view. Sadly, it's not clear enough to make out anything much, but it might well be a recruiting poster along the lines of the two displayed above, of which there were a huge variety produced during the course of the war.
Initially I wondered if the glass plate was a copy negative made from a postcard, since an artifact on the image appeared as if it had resulted from a fold or crease. However, closer examination of the emulsion side of the glass negative shows a slightly darker stain over the bottom quarter.
Donington Hall and Entanglements, No. 1020, publ. 1915
Postcard by F.W. Scarratt of Derby
Scarratt produced very few views with subjects readily identifiable as having been taken during the Great War. Soon after the Normanton Barracks shot in 1915 he visited Donington Hall, Leicestershire, where the conversion of the grand building and estate into a German Prisoner of War camp, complete with barbed wire entanglements and sentry boxes, resulted in several published postcards (1006/1020/1021). Apart from these few examples, he appears to have left the coverage of wartime and military subjects to other local photographers such as W.W. Winter, Frederick K. Boyes, Pollard Graham of Derby, Albert Heath of Clay Cross, Henry Hinge and H.P. Hansen of Ashbourne, Fred Holbrook of Belper, Alfred Rippon of Chesterfield.
Sentry Box & Entanglements, Donington Hall, No. 1020, publ. 1915
Postcard by F.W. Scarratt of Derby
His production then dwindled considerably; 35 views in 1916, 33 in 1917, and a single view in 1918, and none in 1919, probably due to a combination of shortage of materials and a reduced market. When he resumed publishing in 1920, one of his first photographs was of the War Memorial in his home town, Barton-under-Needwood (1130).

Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will take an approximate 1/2 of an inch deduction from the total width to a lot for brackets and correct installation.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• Be sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window plus offer enough coverage to avoid light or privacy gap. 2 inches past the opening on EACH side is suggested if you do not have molding/trim.
• An Outside Valance with returns will be wider than the ordered width to accommodate covering the headrail and mount.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allot for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

DONETSK, Ukraine — Air strikes and artillery fire between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops in the eastern city of Donetsk have brought the violence closer than ever to the city center, as Kiev's forces move in on the rebel stronghold.
With Ukrainian troops encircling Donetsk, Western leaders have accused Russia of building up forces along the border in what some fear may preface an intervention. On Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he believed that the "the threat of a direct intervention (by Russia) is definitely greater than it was a few days ago, or two weeks ago."
Russia has repeatedly denied having such intentions and rejected Ukrainian and Western claims of a military buildup on the border.
President Vladimir Putin has resisted mounting pressure from Russian nationalists to send the army in to back the mutiny in eastern Ukraine. Even though the U.S. and NATO would be unlikely to respond militarily, the West would be certain to impose massive sanctions that would put the shaky Russian economy on its knees — and quickly erode Putin's power.
Moscow has pushed for a cease-fire in the east, but the Ukrainian government has appeared bent on riding the momentum of a series of recent military advances to crush the rebels.
The Donetsk city administration said in a statement published online Tuesday that three people had been killed in shelling overnight.
In the Kalininsky neighborhood only 5 kilometers (3 miles) east of Donetsk's central square, rebels and civilians were milling around outside after a night of what many said they believed were Ukrainian air strikes. There were eight craters at the scene that appeared to be the result of aerial bombing.
In another rebel stronghold, the city of Horlivka about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Donetsk, the city council said in Wednesday's statement that 33 civilians have been killed and 129 wounded by shelling over the past few days. The claim couldn't be independently verified.
As the Ukrainian military intensified its campaign against the rebels, heavily populated areas have increasingly come under attack. Kiev adamantly denies launching artillery barrage and air raids against residential neighborhoods and accuses the rebels of firing at civilian areas. The government has offered little evidence to prove its claims, which Human Rights Watch and others have questioned.
Ukrainian security spokesman Andriy Lysenko categorically denied Wednesday that Ukrainian airplanes have carried out air strikes on Donestsk.
"The cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as other cities and residential areas, are not being bombed by Ukrainian military aviation," Lysenko said.
Alexander Pivko, an emergency worker at the scene, didn't believe it. "It was an aerial attack, and two warehouse workers were injured," he said, adding that no one in the neighborhood had been killed.
The only buildings damaged in this industrial neighborhood were a warehouse, a boiler room, and an auto repair shop. But one crater from an explosion was only 10 meters away from a nearby residential building.
"I ran with my two children to hide in the basement after the first strike," said Marina Sibekina, a 30-year-old teacher. "A plane was in the air and in about five minutes a second explosion rang out."
"The rebels built a base here, but we're the ones who suffer," she said.
Soviet-era weapons in the Ukrainian military arsenals lack precision, making collateral damage in urban warfare inevitable.
The Ukrainian government has moved in swiftly on the rebel forces, ousting them from smaller towns in the region and tightening their grip on the regional capital cities of Donetsk and Lugansk.
Donetsk did not see much fighting other than a rebel attempt in May to seize the airport. But the city has come under more shelling in recent weeks, and local authorities estimate that around 200,000 people in the city of 1 million have left their homes. The airport is closed, but buses and trains are still running. The U.N. has estimated that more than 1,100 civilians have died in the conflict since April.
As the rebels struggle to push back Kiev's forces, fears of Russian intervention have grown.
Russia has denied any buildup on the border. The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday also shrugged off U.S. warnings that an air force exercise in southern Russia this week was adding to tensions, saying that the drills are conducted hundreds of kilometers away from the Ukrainian border.

2007 Jeep Compass ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new crossover with big-SUV virtues.
The 2007 Jeep Compass is all new, a term usually meaning that a vehicle has been completely redesigned. But in the case of the Compass, it's a completely new vehicle: first generation.
One way to measure the value of the Compass might be to compare it to the trusty Jeep Cherokee that was enormously popular for 18 years and finally ended its run in 2001. The Compass is slightly bigger and light years better than the Cherokee was 10 years ago. The new Compass costs about $1000 less, in today's dollars. When you consider inflation (28 percent by the Consumer Price Index), that number blows up to more than $6000 cheaper.
The Compass is built on a front-wheel-drive, car-based platform (called the GS, a modified version of a platform that supports the Mitsubishi Lancer). The Compass comes with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The Jeep Compass uses DaimlerChrysler's 2.4-liter, four-cylinder World Engine, developed jointly for 21st century efficiency with Mitsubishi and Hyundai. It's a solid, sophisticated, 16-valve engine, quieter and stronger than a four-banger was believed capable of being, 10 years ago. It features electronic variable valve timing that continually changes the torque curve, bringing more versatility to the 165 peak pound-feet of torque, and more capability to the 172 peak horsepower. Emphasis during development of this engine was on fuel mileage; even carrying 3326 pounds, the Compass 4WD with a five-speed manual transmission delivers 25 city and 29 highway miles per gallon, estimated by Jeep.
The Jeep Compass offers a Continuously Variable Transaxle, which performs like an automatic transmission, and it's a doozy. The CVT is optional with the Compass Sport model, and standard on the Limited, where Autostick can be added to the CVT. Autostick enables the driver to shift up and down over six steps, making it feel like a six-speed gearbox without a clutch pedal. The combination of CVT with six-speed Autostick is the best of both worlds, and works more precisely than the manual/automatic transmissions in many expensive sports sedans.
The safety, ride and handling of the Compass are all excellent, with a strong steel structure and well-planned subframe. Side-curtain airbags and electronic stability control with anti-rollover sensors are standard. Although, in order to keep the advertised MSRP down, air conditioning and power windows and locks are optional.
The styling is similar but sleeker than Jeep's other small SUV, the Liberty, which uses a six-cylinder engine. There's good interior space all around, with rear seats that fold flat to make about 54 cubic feet of cargo space. Options for added versatility include reclining rear seats and a passenger front seat that also folds flat, creating either a table or eight-foot-long space for storage.
The Jeep Compass lineup comes as two models, Sport ($15,425) and Limited ($19,580). Each comes standard with two-wheel drive or with optional four-wheel drive ($1600). One engine is used, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. It comes standard with a five speed manual or a CVT automatic ($1000).
The Sport model comes standard with an AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary audio input jack. However, air conditioning ($850) is optional, and you'll need to order the Power Equipment Group ($995) to get power windows and locks and keyless remote entry.
Options include a six-disc CD player with MP3 ($320); Sirius satellite radio ($195); sunroof ($800); dark tinted glass ($350); heated front seats ($250); Security and Cargo Convenience Group including alarm, tonneau cover and daytime running lamps ($265); Trailer Tow Prep Package with engine oil cooler and wiring harness; Driver Convenience Group with tire pressure monitor, self-dimming rearview mirror, compass, temperature gauge, garage door opener and vehicle info center ($425), and a nine-speaker Boston Acoustics sound system ($595) featuring speakers in the liftgate that can blast the crowd at tailgate parties. If you want reclining rear seats and a fold-flat front passenger seat, you have to get the Value Package ($2600), which includes many of the options listed above.
The Limited model comes with a leather interior, heated seats with driver lumbar support, cruise control, dark tinted glass, speed-sensitive power steering, flat-folding front passenger seat, reclining rear seats, and 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires. The front and rear fascia and side moldings have shiny aluminum accents.
Options for the Limited include the Sport options, plus a six-speed Autostick mode with the Continuously Variable Transaxle ($1150), a navigation system, hands-free Bluetooth communication, chrome-plated 18-inch aluminum wheels ($825) and the Boston Acoustics sound system ($460).
Safety features that come standard on all models include anti-lock brakes with brake assist (which applies more brake force than the driver is applying if sensors determine it's needed in a panic stop), electronic stability control (ESP) with Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and side-curtain air bags for head protection. Also standard are state-of-the-art seatbelts in all five positions, so be sure to wear them. Seatbelts are your first line of defense in a crash. Safety options include side airbags for the front seats ($250) for torso protection in a side impact. A tire pressure monitoring system is available as part of a package.
Many won't be able to tell the Compass from a Liberty because the styling is so similar, especially in front with the classic Jeep grille having seven vertical slots, but the differences are clear. The Compass looks more like a crossover SUV, especially from the sculpted side, with smoothly angular flares over the wheels, as opposed to the plastic cladding on most Liberty models. The rear door handles are vertical, mounted on the C-pillars to preserve the character line.
The liftgate on the Compass is sloped at nearly a 45-degree angle while the Liberty's is vertical; and the third side window, into the cargo area, is a stylized triangle (leaving more sheetmetal and reducing visibility) while the Liberty's window is, again, squared.
That slope at the rear of the Compass is matched by the steeply raked windshield, leading up to a roof that's six inches lower than the Liberty's. Black plastic roofrails continue from the top corners of the windshield all the way to the spoiler over the liftgate, channeling water over the roof.
The Compass is one inch closer to the ground than the Liberty. The more car-like styling and relative sleekness make the Compass look longer than the Liberty, but it's actually one inch shorter.
The Compass Limited has aluminum-looking trim on the sides and bumpers. The less-costly Sport looks classier in its cleaner monotone. The optional 18-inch chromed aluminum wheels on the Limited will appeal to those who want their Jeep SUV to look more like a Cadillac Escalade.
The Jeep Compass cabin is roomy and comfortable. The front bucket seats are very comfortable without being soft. The cloth seats that come in the Sport use a rugged fabric that's smooth and stain repellant. The front seat jacks upward, which is nice because the long dash makes it hard to see the ground in front of the car, even though the hood is short. The long dash is a result of the sloped windshield.
The cabin layout is functional and roomy. It isn't very exciting to look at, trimmed in a lot of two-tone vinyl (boring in beige but better in gray), but what mostly matters is room for your stuff, including your elbows and legs. The front door pockets are short but deep enough to get your hand in, at least. They're short to make room for big stereo speakers in the doors.
The gauges are clean and pleasant, white on black with a symmetrical layout against a simple silver background. The four-spoke steering wheel is solid to grip. The center stack is wide and intelligent: rectangular vents on top, over the one-disc AM/FM/CD, over a slot that might hold a paperback book. Below that are three climate control knobs, some buttons and then the shift lever at the driver's right knee. Both the automatic and manual transaxle levers are mounted in this practical high forward position, introduced by Honda after being copied from rally racing cars, where ergonomics matter.
Moving rearward between the front seats, there are two fixed cupholders, the emergency brake handle, and a flip-up center console containing a slot for a cellphone or MP3 player. The console top is an armrest, and can be slid three inches to accommodate drivers of different sizes.
Legroom is good, both front and rear: 39.4 inches in the rear. The Compass will be a fine vehicle for a family trip, with reclining rear seats, optional on Sport and standard on Limited. There are cupholders in the rear but no net pockets on the front seatbacks, which would be nice. Grab handles make it easy to climb out.
The rear 60/40 seats fold flat with the touch of a finger on each side, as easy as it gets. The front seat on the Limited model folds flat, making a table. The rear cargo area, a decent 53.6 cubic feeet with the rear seats folded, is covered by a rugged vinyl mat that's removable for washing. The space-saver spare tire is neatly stored under the mat. One innovative feature on the Limited is the removable rechargable LED flashlight mounted in the headliner above the cargo area.
The one-piece liftgate has panels for structural integrity, and the rear bumper has a non-skid rubber surface for stepping onto.
Driving Impression
The 2.4-liter World Engine is the right powerplant for the Jeep Compass. It's an excellent engine, smoother and quieter than it was recently imagined a four-cylinder could be. It uses the latest technology, including an aluminum block and cylinder heads, and electronically controlled variable valve timing that helps optimize torque. It makes a reasonable 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque at 4400 rpm, and delivers an estimated 25 city/29 highway miles per gallon, with 4WD and the five-speed manual gearbox, or 23/26 mpg with the CVT automatic.
A four-wheel-drive Sport weighs 3326 pounds, so the acceleration is hardly neck-snapping, but the Compass is no dog. It just takes some forethought and bit of patience to get it to do what you might demand.
Our test model was a Limited with the CVT automatic and Autostick, but we also drove a Sport with the CVT without Autostick and another Sport model with a five-speed manual transmission. The five-speed manual is good, and gets the most out of the four-cylinder engine. But if you need an automatic transmission and believe it's worth the extra cost, then you should go for the Autostick option (available only with the Limited), because it totally changes the nature of the CVT, giving the Compass two great transmissions in one vehicle. These Continuously Variable Transaxles, or CVTs, operate like automatic transmissions: Just put it in Drive and go.
However, the Autostick feature allows semi-manual shifting for those who are so inclined. We like this feature. We were dazzled by the crisp and immediate upshifts and downshifts using this six-speed Autostick. A Jeep engineer explained that the nature of the continuously variable transaxle makes such quick shifts possible. Jeep has made the two systems beautifully compatible. The Compass Autostick is as sharp as any manual automatic we've felt, including those on expensive sport sedans. With such accuracy, it always works: easily downshifting to knock off a few miles per hour for bends, instead of using the brakes; or downshifting to pass on a two-lane, instead of waiting for the transmission to kick down on its own.
Along the winding wooded roads between Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Ocean, the Compass revealed itself to be steady and silent thanks to liberal use of sound deadening material, sealants and structural adhesives. The suspension does all the work as it should, isolating the cabin from the bumps and tosses. We aimed for potholes and weren't jarred when we hit them. There was none of the old Jeep head-toss, or side-to-side jouncing, and there was no trace of wallow over ripples. Only the good feedback was transmitted through the steering wheel to our hands. The turn-in for corners was secure, with no play in the wheel or wandering.
Jeep has designed a new four-wheel-drive system for the Compass, which it calls Freedom Drive I 4x4. On the surface it works much like all-wheel-drive systems by other manufacturers: On a dry, flat road, virtually all of the power goes to the front wheels, but as traction is needed elsewhere, as much as 60 percent can shift to the rear wheels. The coupling is through a two-stage clutch system that's magnetic and electronically controlled, rather than viscous, and Jeep says this is markedly more efficient.
We drove the Compass over 30 miles of loose, wet gravel roads that climbed, descended and twisted in every direction. We pushed it to find some limits, and they were suprisingly high; the Compass didn't skate on the slick round stones as we expected it to, even with standard touring tires, although the ESP activated a couple of times to keep us out of the ditches. We slammed on the brakes at about 40 mph, and the ABS with rough-road detection worked hard but successfully.
When we reached the beach, we climbed into a Compass Sport with the Continuously Variable Transaxle and no Autostick, and optional Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires that aren.
The all-new Jeep Compass brings great things to the compact SUV market. Safety, style, comfortable ride, steady handling, high fuel mileage, advanced engineering with the four-cylinder World Engine and Continuously Variable Transaxle, and superb four-wheel-drive capability. Last but definitely not least (except in a good way): affordability. It's an intelligent vehicle with which Jeep should do well.

BRISTOL — Mount Abraham Union High School has launched an impressive array of educational programs in the past few weeks.
With support from an e-Vermont grant, which supports computer literacy in communities across the state, as well as a grant from the Rowland Foundation, Mount Abe has opened its computer labs to the public — and its dedicated staff is collaborating with local community organizations to capitalize on the space's availability to foster educational opportunities and conversations on many levels.
ADDISON COUNTY — The end of June brought to a close the e-Vermont Community Broadband Project, a venture that for the past two years has distributed grants to Vermont towns for digital tools and training to use the Internet to create jobs and spur innovation in schools.
But as the project wraps up, Vermont communities have begun sharing stories on how they can maintain and build wireless Internet access despite the loss of e-Vermont.

While AT&T, Verizon and other cellular communications providers have spent billions of dollars acquiring the radio spectrum for their national networks, the radio spectrum for the proposed LightSquared hybrid land and satellite-based communications system will be free of charge, courtesy of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The free use of the land-based radio spectrum was granted in conjunction with a tentative license from FCC in January. The free spectrum was based on a 2003 FCC ruling that allowed a LightSquared predecessor company to use its satellite radio spectrum for land-based wireless services as long as it provides devices that can access both land and satellite systems. In addition, the land-based network must remain "ancillary" to its satellite services, according to the 2003 FCC ruling.
While LightSquared appears to have successfully argued that its proposed 40,000-transmitter land-based system is ancillary to its satellite system, the footprint of the land-based network will be national in scope, according to Ken Rehbehn, an analyst for the Yankee Group, which tracks global connectivity trends.
"It is definitely getting into the realm of a national network," says Rehbehn. "Those towers would be up [in urban areas and] along the interstates [in rural areas]. That is a pretty significant footprint."
The GPS industry has argued that the land-based LightSquared network will interfere with GPS navigation devices. A report from John Deere to the FCC in late May said that deploying the LightSquared network "will create massive interference" for Deere's StarFire system, as well as other similar systems, "risking serious harm to the U.S. agriculture industry."
When it granted the tentative license, the FCC charged LightSquared to work with the GPS industry to resolve signal interference questions. A report on a joint industry-LightSquared working group is due to the FCC on July 1.

Southern Baptist - Evolution
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Public discussion of evolution often turns into a nasty debate between young-earth creationists on the one side and atheists who believe science disproves the existence of God on the other.
Some Southern Baptist seminary professors and evangelical scientists believe it doesn't have to be that way.
In a series of essays on the BioLogos website, they debate questions such as whether Adam and Eve were real people whose sin brought death into the world, requiring redemption through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.
Some scientists argue that the gene pool from which modern humans descended was never as small as two individuals. Instead, they suggest that God may have made a covenant with a particular couple whose disobedience brought about spiritual death.
While many Christians see the Bible's creation story as metaphorical, others object that doing so undermines scriptural authority.

With Mother's Day approaching May 13, Mayor Don Wesely and Lancaster County Board Chair Kathy Campbell today announced that a Breast-Feeding Policy Initiative will be implemented to help mothers working in City and County government. The City and County will allow flexible breaks and private spaces for employees who are breast-feeding to encourage them to pump and collect their milk during the work day.
"The U.S. Surgeon General recently issued a Blueprint for Action that focuses on the compelling health and economic reasons why infants should be fed breast milk," said Wesely. "This policy will help further our efforts to make our City and County a healthier place for our children. We all stand to benefit from decreased health care costs, less parental absenteeism due to sick children at home and the improved lifelong health of our youngest citizens."
Campbell said the County also plans to purchase a breast pump for use in the County-City Building. Both she and the Mayor credited Ann Seacrest, a former member of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Board of Health, with creating the initiative and leading a health board subcommittee on the issue.
The new city policy signed by the Mayor today states by the end of this year, the city will identify areas for breast-feeding mothers that have locks on the doors, no windows or windows with blinds and an electrical outlet for a breast pump.
To extend the breast-feeding initiative into the community the Mayor is inviting business leaders, social service agencies and health care providers to a conference June 19 to learn more about encouraging working mothers to breast-feed. The conference, organized by the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, is set for 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln. Registration information will be released soon.
The new policy is part of the Mayor's Healthy Kids 2010 initiative. "Directing our resources toward the health of our children provides the biggest bang for our buck because these programs focus on prevention and provide better health results over the long run," said Wesely.
