Back in May of this year we heard about a competition put on by GrabCAD, an online engineering community, and 500 Group, a think tank for new products. The challenge was to create a body for a new supercar that would be built on an existing chassis using GM Performance parts and the LS3, LS7 or supercharged LS9 V8 engines. (Maybe they should also consider the new LT1 engine… just saying.)
In that original post, I admittedly got a little harsh about letting engineers act as designers. I made the argument that when that happens, we're left with cars like the Accord and Camry. Excellent vehicles, but they don't have much in the way of personality.
We heard yesterday from a representative of the 500 Group who wanted to set us straight.
The rep let us know that the intent wasn't to have the engineers design the body, but instead to become part of the team that would develop the car. GrabCAD members submitted their proposals, and four of them were accepted as members of the development team. Even cooler, the car will be street-legal and is pretty deep in the development process. So deep, in fact, that it lapped the Nurburgring, without wearing any bodywork, in about 7 minutes. Horsepower output was measured at 694. With a dry weight of about 2,200 pounds, that's more hp per ton than street-legal cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. Check out this video of the 'Ring run:
Testing of bodied pre-production cars will happen in 2013, followed by the regulatory approval process. The ultimate goal is to provide exhaustively developed midengine street cars at a fraction of the price of current supercars.
That's certainly a hard outcome to argue against!
Of course, as we hear more details, so will you.
A midengine supercar priced well below the competition but without any brand recognition. Interested?

What you need to know about driving in New Zealand
Driving in New Zealand is unlike driving in your own country. There are rules you need to learn such as driving limits, road signs and terminology.
If you come, visit New Zealand, take not that driving in this country is very different to driving in the rest of the world. Driving on unfamiliar roads can be a real challenge and one must be extra careful. The roads here are often winding and there are some special road rules that require your attention.
Here are the things you need to know about driving in New Zealand:
1. Always drive on the left side of the road. You need to pay particular attention to this one because unlike other countries, New Zealand, Australia, UK and Japan require to drive on the left instead of the right. This is the most common mistake of tourists. Many fatal crashes are caused by drivers who have been driving on the wrong side of the road.
2. Do not drive beyond the speed limit. The speed limit in congested towns is 50km/h, in small communities, 60, 70 or 80 km/hr. If you see a white circle with a black slash, it indicates an open road with speed limit of 100km/h. On the other hands, a temporary speed limit of 30km/h is common through road works. If you get caught by a police officer driving beyond the speed limit, your driver's license will be suspended for 28 days.
3. Get familiar with road terminology. In New Zealand, the national highway routes are called "State Highways", a motorway (freeway), roundabout (rotary) and give way (yield). The State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands. State Highway 2 to 5 and 10 to 58 in the North Island while State Highway 6 to 8 and 60 to 99 found in the South Island. Most roads New Zealand roads are undivided with one lane in each direction and at grade intersections. Take note that 'no overtaking' zones are marked by solid yellow lines.
4. Make sure you have the right driver's license to drive in New Zealand. If your license in not English, you need to have an International Drivers Permit or an approved translation of your driver's license.
5. If your vehicle is diesel, it is not taxed at the pump but they are usually required to pay Road user Charges or RUC.
6. Allow plenty of travel time. Since you will be driving on unfamiliar roads, make sure you gave plenty of travel time in reaching your destination. The roads here are winding and narrow which means it will take longer than you used to know. The highways are divided into two lanes only thus more prone to traffic.
These are just some of the things you need to learn before you drive a rental car in New Zealand. Taking into consideration the rules mentioned will keep you safe and on one-piece.

Sydney residents asked to curb water use after heavy rainfall
Residents in Sydney's south-west have been asked to avoid using dishwashers and washing machines to conserve drinking water supplies after heavy storms forced the shutdown of a major filtration plant.
People living in Campbelltown, Narellan, Prestons, Macarthur and Camden areas should hold off non-essential water use, Sydney Water said.
"We're basically asking customers to be conservative in their water use for the next 24 hours," Peter Hadfield, a spokesman for Sydney Water said just after 4.45 pm.
Earlier, Sydney Water blamed heavy rain in recent days for putting"enormous pressure on the Macarthur Filtration Plant, with high levels of debris and turbulence in the catchment's water".
Bernie Sheridan, Sydney Water's treatment manager, said a succession of storms in recent days had triggered a release of silt into the Cataract Dam, reducing the quality of water reaching the plant. The water authority is currently spilling the dam to help reduce turbidity.
"We're not expecting anyone to run out of water," Mr Sheridan said, adding that the request for residents to curb water use is likely to continue for the rest of Tuesday.
Residents in the Macarthur region should halt discretionary water use, including filling spas or swimming pools, washing cars and watering gardens, Sydney Water said.
Low flows
Minister for Finance and Services Andrew Constance thanked the community for their co-operation.
"The Macarthur Filtration Plant was brought back online at 2pm this afternoon,'' Mr Constance said. ''It is operating at low flows and is currently stable. Sydney Water will continue to monitor the situation closely overnight.''
The filtration plant was initially shut down at 4am on Tuesday.
The disruption of the filtration plant is the second failure of Sydney Water's facilities in the wake of heavy rains in about four months.
Last November, Sydney Water warned people to avoid contact with water from the Georges River for days after the Glenfield Wastewater Treatment Plant was overwhelmed by flows after a storm. An estimated 150 megalitres of untreated wastewater flowed into the river.
Monday's rain also caused an overflow of oil into Botany Bay from Caltex's Kurnell Refinery.
More rain to come
More rain is forecast for Sydney on Tuesday, although falls are only likely to be in 5-10 millimetre range, according to Brett Dutschke, senior meteorologist for Weatherzone.
Falls should again be heavy on Wednesday, though, with most eastern, southern and western suburbs likely to receive 20-30 millimetres, with the potential for 50 millimetres in some areas.
"Tomorrow's the only real worry but it's unlikely we'll get as much rain as yesterday," Mr Dutschke said.
The Camden area received almost 48 millimetres in Monday's falls, while some areas clocked falls of as much as 50 millimetres in an hour or more.
The Cataract catchment copped heavy rains on the weekend and on Monday, triggering the silt surge into the Cataract Dam, Mr Sheridan said.
"At the moment, the risk looks fairly low in terms of the any storms causing any more trouble," Mr Sheridan said.
Weatherzone is owned by Fairfax Media, publisher of this website.

Flawless Floor Sanding
Tips for hassle-free floor sanding
Remove the Base Shoe
If a room has quarter-round molding (aka "base shoe") at the bottom of baseboards, pry it off and reinstall it later. Here's why: Edge sanding slightly lowers the floor and leaves the baseboard standing on a little plateau. You think you won't notice this, but you will. Edge sanding also scuffs up base shoe, which means touch-up work later. Removing the base shoe sidesteps both problems. Label the base shoe as you remove it to avoid confusion when you reinstall it. Exception: If the base shoe is bonded to the baseboard by decades of paint buildup, leave it in place. If you have newer baseboards and no quarter-round, leave it in place, but expect a lot of touching up.
Pet Stains Are Forever
Water stains usually disappear after a couple of passes of the sander. But stains caused by pet urine often penetrate so deep into the wood that you just can't sand them out. Bleach formulated for wood floors may be worth a try, but the results are often mediocre at best, and at worst, the wood is left pitted and blotched. Often, the only solution is to replace the wood—or finish over the stain and think of it as a permanent memorial to a beloved pet. How do you tell water from pee? Pet stains are darker (deep gray, almost black around the edges) and often look like a map of Indonesia, with big and small islands covering a large area.
Rental Tips
You'll need two rental machines: a drum sander to sand most of the floor and an edger to sand along baseboards. Rent from a flooring specialty shop rather than a general rental store. You'll get expertise at no extra expense. Measure the room before you go. Knowing the square footage will help the crew at the rental store estimate how many sanding belts and discs you'll need. Prep before you rent. The prep work will take longer than you think. Don't waste money by picking up the sanders before you're ready to use them.
Prep the Room
Some of the prep work is obvious, like removing all the furniture and covering doorways with plastic. Here are some steps DIYers often don't think of:
- Cover or plug air grilles to keep dust out of ducts. Turn off the HVAC system at the thermostat; less air movement means less dust traveling around your house.
- Remove all window coverings and any art on the walls (unless you want to clean them later).
- Remove doors that open into the room. You can't completely sand under doors, even by opening and closing them.
- Raise low-hanging light fixtures; just tie two links of the chain together with wire. Otherwise, you're guaranteed to bump your head. Repeatedly.
- Nail down any loose boards with finish nails.
- When you're sanding, nail heads will rip the sanding belt (which costs you money) or gouge the sanding drum (which costs you more money). So countersink all nails by at least 1/8 in.
- To detect nails, drag a metal snow shovel across the floor (upside down). When it hits a nail, you'll hear it.
Good Sander Choice
Get a drum sander that uses a continuous belt or sleeve, not one that requires you to wrap a strip of abrasive around the drum. That's tedious and often leads to chatter marks on the floor. Think twice before you rent a flat-pad sander (aka 'orbital' or 'square-buff' sander). Sure, they're easier to use, but they're just not aggressive enough to bite into finishes or hardwoods. Choose a sander that has a lever to raise and lower the sanding drum. That makes graceful stops and starts easier—and reduces gouging.
Change Belts Often
Using dull belts is a strategy you'll regret. Here's the problem: After the floor finish is gone, you can't see whether the sander is doing its job. So you keep sanding. The machine is raising dust and everything seems fine. But the dull paper isn't cutting deep enough to remove the scratches left by the previous grit. And you may not discover this until you put a finish on the floor. A dull edging disc is even worse, since it won't remove the ugly cross-grain scratches left by the previous disc. Even if paper feels sharp, it may be beyond its prime. So the best way to judge is by square footage covered. A typical belt covers about 250 sq. ft., and edger discs are spent after about 20 sq. ft. That varies, so ask at the rental store.
Edger Education
The edger is basically a sanding disc mounted on a big, powerful motor. A simple tool, but not so simple to use. Here are some tips to help you master the edger and minimize the inevitable swirls left by the spinning disc:
- Follow up each phase of drum sanding with edging. After you've drum-sanded at 36-grit, for example, edge with 36-grit.
- Place a nylon pad under the sandpaper. This cushion minimizes gouges and deep swirls. Get pads at the rental store.
- Replace the sandpaper when it's dull. Dull paper won't remove swirls left by the previous grit.
- At the end of the job, lay a flashlight on the floor to highlight any leftover swirls. Then hand-sand them out with 80- or 100-grit paper.
Scrape Out Corners
When the sanding is done, use a carbide paint scraper to attack spots that the machines can't reach. A sharp scraper will leave a super-smooth glazed surface that won't take finish the same as the surrounding wood. So rough up scraped areas with 80- or 100-grit paper.
Don't Skip Grits
The initial coarse grits remove the finish and flatten the wood. But that's not enough. You need to progress through every grit to polish off the scratches left by the previous grit. On most jobs, the sequence is 24-36-60-80 for coarse-grain wood like oak. Scratches are more visible on fine-grain wood like birch or maple, so go to 100-grit.
Clean Up Between Grits
Sweep or vacuum the floor before you move up to the next grit. Even the best abrasives throw off a few granules while sanding. And a 36-grit granule caught under a 60-grit belt will leave an ugly gash in the floor. Wrap the vacuum nozzle with tape to avoid marring the floor.
Screen the Floor
After you've finished with the sanders, the floor will look so good that you'll be tempted to skip this step. But don't. "Screening" blends the edge-sanded perimeter with the drum-sanded field and polishes away sanding scratches. You can do it with a rented buffing machine or with a sanding pole (like the one used for sanding drywall). Either way, the abrasive to use is 120- or 150-grit sanding screen.
Swing the Buffer
Buff the floor starting at one wall and moving backward across the room. Slowly swing the buffer left and right as you go. To make the buffer swing to your right, gently lift the handle. To swing left, lower the handle.
Consider Recoating Instead of Sanding
You may be able to renew the floor by adding a new coat of polyurethane right over the old finish. Recoating takes a lot less time, skill and money than full-scale sanding and refinishing. Recoating works on solid wood, laminated wood and parquet floors alike. But a new coat of polyurethane may not stick to your existing finish. If your floor's finish was applied before the 1970s, it's probably wax, old-fashioned varnish or shellac. No new finish will stick to a wax finish or any other finish that's ever had wax applied to it. Polyurethane might adhere to an old, unwaxed varnish or shellac finish. But these finishes do wear out, and since they're probably more than 30 years old, it's best to sand them off and start over.

"in another century, matt bellamy would have been Mozart or Beethoven"
This shocking statment which i found on a certain members msn screen name has moved me to make this post. How anyone could compare this little Weezle to two of the greatest musicians of all time is beyond me. Infact that anyone could compare him to any of our great 20th and 21st century musician is beyond me. There are thousands of musicians around that are far supieior to this third rate man and his little band of pretentions pompous prats. Muse are a band with massive ambition but they do not have the talent to back it up, as a result their music sounds like a big overblown mess. Just because Mr Bellamy tinkles away on his keyboard in a rather grand way does not make him Mozart.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but im afraid this sort of opinion is dangerously poor.

The Washington Monument ploy and other Obama gambits.
President Obama returned from a long weekend with his golfing buddies on Tuesday to take up his by now familiar political stand: If Republicans don't raise taxes in return for more spending, the world will end. We wish he'd stayed on the putting green.
Flanked by emergency medical personnel, Mr. Obama made his usual threat of Armageddon if automatic spending cuts go forward on March 1. Americans can expect more such melodrama in the coming days, so as a public service we thought we'd break down the President's three biggest political tricks.
• The Washington Monument ploy. "If Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place," he moaned, "it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job creating investments in education and energy and medical research." His parade of horribles went on for several minutes. All of this wreckage from a 5% cut to domestic agencies and a 7% cut to the military.
It's the old ploy to stir public support for all government spending by shutting down vital services first. Voters should scoff at the idea that a $3.6 trillion government can't save one nickel of every dollar that agencies spend. The $85 billion in savings is a mere 2.3% of total spending. The agencies that the White House says can't save 5% received an average increase in their budgets of 17% in the previous five years—not counting their $276 billion stimulus bonus.
• The recession scare. Mr. Obama warned that the sequester will "hurt our economic growth [and] add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls." But hasn't Mr. Obama been telling us that the economy is coming back and the stock market is up?
After World War II federal spending fell from 42% of GDP to 14.8% in two years, yet the private economy and employment roared back to life. In the 1980s domestic spending fell by about two percentage points of GDP and in the 1990s it fell by more than three. Those were decades of government austerity but rapid growth in private output and wealth. Mr. Obama has taken government spending from 21% to 24% of GDP, yet we've had the weakest economic recovery in three generations.
• A tax increase disguised as "tax reform." Mr. Obama isn't proposing to substitute other spending reforms for the blunt instrument of the sequester. He is actually demanding another tax increase on top of the one he just beat out of Congress. His trick is to pretend that this is "tax reform" that would eliminate loopholes, but this is the same President who insisted on more than $30 billion in tax breaks for big business (including $12 billion for the wind industry) in the fiscal-cliff deal.
For 30 years bipartisan tax reform has meant lowering tax rates in return for closing loopholes. But having already raised rates, Mr. Obama now wants fewer loopholes for those he dislikes while keeping the higher rates. This is nothing but a grab for more revenue so he and Democrats can keep spending.
***The sequester is far from ideal and it would make much more sense to work with Congress to set priorities. But Mr. Obama has rejected every meaningful reform in entitlements that Republicans or his own Simpson-Bowles commission have offered. ObamaCare will add more than $1 trillion in new costs and add some 17 million people to Medicaid, but he says this can't be touched. In his State of the Union address Mr. Obama proposed $83.4 billion in new spending, according to a tally by the National Taxpayers Union.
If Mr. Obama really wants to eliminate the sequester, Republicans are ready to negotiate. But if he won't drop his tax increase and negotiate in good faith, as he hasn't during his Presidency, then the sequester is the only way that any spending is going to be cut. The economy will be better for it.

- Have a rich variety of books and reading materials in your home including fiction/non-fiction, magazines, comics, newspapers, computer, etc.
- Make sure you include non-fiction books in your daily reading routine.
- Consider your child's interests when selecting reading materials. Whether your child is interested in animals, dance, the lives of artists or athletes, foreign countries, sports, or robots, finding books that match his interest will boost his enthusiasm for reading.
- Ask questions before reading a new book. For example, ask your child "what do you already know about spiders?" Look at the cover and table of contents. "What do you think you will learn in this book?"
- Practice using the table of contents and index to find information in books. This will help build research skills your child will need in later grades.
- Pay attention to new words to help your child build vocabulary. Have your child look new words up in a dictionary. Talk about what the new word means, and how to use it.
- Play the "I am thinking" game. Say: "I am thinking of something new I learned in this book. What am I thinking about?" Continue to give simple clues until your child finds the answer.
- Ask open-ended questions to get your child to supply more than one word answers. Instead of asking, "Did you like this book?" ask your child, "What did you like about this book? What didn't you like?" Questions that begin with why or how usually yield good answers.
- After reading, ask your child, "What is something new you learned?"
- When reading a book with your child, take the time to seek out other sources — a dictionary, encyclopedia, or the internet, for example — to answer your child's questions, look up new words, or learn more about a subject that piques your child's interest.

Pop stars Professor Green and Conor Maynard had schoolchildren jumping out of their seats and rocking out at an end of term gig today.
Ten-thousand excited pupils were treated to performances from their favourite acts at this year's Rock Assembly, which was organised by education charity The Transformation Trust.
Rock Assembly host, Radio 1 DJ Nihal, gave a shout out to all the schools which had been invited to rock out at Wembley Arena after signing up to the BT Digital Champions programme.
The programme encourages young people to share their digital skills with family members, friends or elderly members of their community.
Pupils took part in one-on-one sessions teaching the basics including how to switch a computer on, how to connect to the internet, how to find a website and how to send an email.
And as a thank you for all the pupils' massive support, The Transformation Trust put on the Rock Assembly as a special end of term celebration.
Among the crowd was Harrow's Sacred Heart Language College who were getting into the party spirit dancing and singing along to performances from Ella Eyre, Misha B and Kiss FM's Dixon Brothers.

Environmentally Friendly Pool Decking
Composite decking material, made by brands such as Trex, TimberTech or CertainTeed have good prospects for the future. According to the Freedonia Group, sales of wood-plastic composite lumber is expected to rise 9% year over year, topping $5B in sales by 2013.
Many pool owners are replacing wood decks with composite decks, covering spalled and cracked concrete with it, or adding an environmentally friendly pool deck to their above ground pool.
Composite lumber is made of a blend of wood fibers and plastic. A 50/50 blend is common, although the use of recycled materials is not universal. Some manufacturers use only virgin plastics, while others are using recycled plastics.
For the biggest eco-gain, look for composite decking made with 100% recycled materials. In addition, look for composite decking made with a high percentage of "post-consumer" recycled materials, like milk jugs and plastic bottles.
Different manufacturing methods can give certain performance advantages. For instance, the way in which the wood fibers are mixed with the plastic material can lead to greater encapsulation and protection of the more vulnerable wood fiber. If wood fibers become exposed to the elements, this will lead to eventual breakdown, rotting or splitting of the lumber. When made with total encapsulation, the wood is protected, and is suitable for use directly on the ground, or in other wet environments, such as around a pool.
Composite decking materials resist splintering, twisting, warping and cracking. The surface is decidedly non-skid and holds up well to heavy traffic or loads. Under normal conditions, wood-plastic composite decking can last 2-3 times longer than traditional wood decking.
With recent advancements in their technology, manufacturers are now producing composite decking that really looks like wood decking. Many colors and textures are now available, with deeply embossed, realistic looking wood grain textures that have the appearance of expensive hardwoods. Darker colors will fade, so avoid a rich red tone, which may fade to a dusty rose color over time.
All-plastic decking materials are available, but they tend to look rather plastic. All-plastic lumber is also more subject to greater thermal expansion and warping over time. It does have the advantage however, of being more stain and fade resistant than a wood-plastic mix. Another option now being provided are composite decking tiles. Mimicking ceramic or stone, composite tiles are a durable and easy surface option for any outdoor space.
So, if you are considering adding or replacing your pool deck, give some thought to using some post-consumer materials for a durable and attractive pool deck. Easy to install, with a wide variety of colors, textures, sizes, wood-plastic composite lumber makes a good choice.
A pool deck is a large investment, so use a material that will last, while doing something that's good for the planet.

Dow extends commitment to Habitat for Humanity for 30th year
MIDLAND, Mich. (Feb. 25, 2013) – The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) today announced its recommitment to Habitat for Humanity International, which marks the company's 30th anniversary of financial, volunteer and product contributions to Habitat to support the goal of creating safe, affordable housing in partnership with low-income families around the world.
Dow was one of Habitat's first corporate partners, and over its three-plus decades has been instrumental in the construction of nearly 39,000 homes in 24 countries on six continents, including in Ghana, Africa, for the first time in 2013.
"Dow and Habitat understand the importance of providing safe, affordable housing and giving families that much-needed hand up toward a better future," said Bo Miller, global director for Corporate Citizenship at Dow. "Our 30-year partnership illustrates this commitment and passion for improving lives, and we are proud that our efforts are truly making a difference."
Since 1983, thousands of Dow volunteers have helped families realize the dream of home ownership. In addition to financial and product contributions, Dow provides subject matter experts in energy efficiency and conservation in the construction of homes.
"We are so grateful to Dow for reaching out to Habitat to become one of our first national corporate partners and for helping to build thousands of homes during the last 30 years," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "I have had the privilege of working with Dow associates all over the world and so appreciate the contributions of both the organization and the individual supporters. Dow helped us create the model for developing crucial corporate partnerships and has been pivotal in helping us building homes, communities and hope."
Dow and Habitat share a goal to develop communities by building, repairing and rehabilitating houses. Dow's partnership with Habitat focuses on finding creative ways to leverage its products, experience in energy efficiency and conservation and people to have a positive impact on the need for affordable housing. Dow also works with Habitat by providing personnel who serve as board members at the local and international levels.
Dow engages a holistic approach with Habitat, contributing not only funds and energy-saving insulation products, but significant volunteer support that is needed to bring construction projects and the homeowners' dreams to life. This approach aligns with a number of Dow's 2015 sustainability goals, including those related to energy efficiency, community success and local protection of human health and the environment.
As part of its anniversary commitment, Dow volunteers are helping to build homes in 30 communities and the company has pledged more than 1.3 million in funding. Additionally, Dow anticipates 4 million of gift-in-kind contributions of STYROFOAM brand insulation products. To date, Dow has contributed 56.9 million in cumulative giving to Habitat.

Heavy fighting precedes scheduled truce in Syria
Government troops kill 8, injure several others despite start of holiday ceasefire
BEIRUT — Syrians took to the streets for the largest anti-regime protests in months in several cities Friday, taking advantage a lull in fighting as a cease-fire took effect at the start of a Muslim holiday. But scattered violence which killed eight people, including battles over a northern military base and a Damascus suburb, illustrated the difficulty of maintaining even a limited truce.
The Syrian military has agreed to cease military operations for four days beginning Friday morning with the start of the four-day Eid al-Adha holiday, in line with a truce proposed by international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi and endorsed by the UN Security Council.
But there were no arrangements for monitoring compliance, and past cease-fire efforts have collapsed as both sides refused to lay down their arms.
Clashes erupted over a military base outside the strategic town of Maaret al-Numan in the north, and five people were killed in government shelling and sniper fire in the Damascus suburb of Harasta, activists said.
Fighting also was reported in several other parts of the country as the day progressed. The violence underscored the complexity of the situation, with the badly fragmented opposition sending mixed signals about the truce, some endorsing it and others rejecting it as irrelevant.
Syrian President Bashar Assad's government accepted the truce but left significant loopholes, declaring it would respond to any rebel attack or attempts by foreign forces to intervene.
Still, a decline in violence elsewhere allowed protesters in Damascus and several other cities to pour into the streets in numbers not seen in months.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said protesters rallied after holiday prayers in Aleppo, the central province of Homs and the city of Hama. Demonstrators also took to the streets in the suburbs of Damascus and the southern province of Deraa, where the uprising began. Three people were wounded when troops tried to disperse protesters in Deraa, the group said.
In the Damascus suburb of Kfar Batna, Syrians waved rebel flags, cheered, clapped and in some cases danced to revolutionary songs, according to a video posted online.
"May God curse your soul, Hafez," they shouted in the Damascus suburb of Kfar Batna, in reference to Bashar's father and the late Syrian president, Hafez Assad. "Syria wants freedom," the protesters added, according to a video posted online.
"You will fall, Bashar!" shouted protesters in Douma, another video showed.
The videos appeared consistent with AP's reporting on the demonstrations in the area.
Mohammed Saeed, an activist based in Aleppo, which has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the war, said the city was "relatively calm" despite shelling in several areas and clashes near the city's military airport that killed at least four people.
He said via Skype that marches took place in the neighborhoods of al-Shaar, Hanano and Bustan al-Qasr as well as several suburbs.
The festive and mostly peaceful protests were reminiscent of the mass demonstrations that ignited the civil war in March 2011. In recent months, gatherings have been much smaller, a result of a brutal crackdown by the Assad regime and fighting in the streets.
"It reminds me of the early days of the revolution, the days when people could go out and protest peacefully," Damascus-based activist Khaled al-Shami said. Security was tight around the capital, and police forces erected additional checkpoints on main roads. In side streets, people performed prayers and protested freely, al-Shami said.
"It seems there is an attempt by both sides to abide by this truce, at least in Damascus," al-Shami said, adding that the truce was "a good thing that unfortunately will not last."
The short holiday cease-fire was the only thing a divided international community could agree on after the failure of a more ambitious plan for an open-ended truce and political transition talks by Brahimi's predecessor, former UN chief Kofi Annan, in April.
Brahimi has not said what was supposed to happen when the truce expires on Monday, an ominous sign since Assad and opposition leaders disagree sharply on how to resolve the conflict. Assad refuses to resign, while some opposition leaders say his departure is a prerequisite for any political talks. The fragmented opposition factions disagree over whether to negotiate with Assad at all.
The first serious eruption of fighting on Friday involved a radical Islamic group, Jabhat al-Nusra, which is fighting with the rebels and rejected the cease-fire from the outset. The group clashed Friday with regime forces for control of a military base outside of a strategic town, Maaret al-Numan on the road to the northern city of Aleppo, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground.
Fierce fighting has been going on there for several days.
Opposition fighters seized Maaret al-Numan, which lies along the main highway between Aleppo and Damascus, earlier this month. Their presence has disrupted the ability of the Syrian army to send supplies and reinforcements to the northwest, where troops are bogged down in a stalemate with the rebels in Aleppo, Syria's largest city.
Activists said three people were killed in shelling of the Damascus suburb of Harasta and two people died as a result of sniper fire. There were no reports of clashes or protests at the time of the attacks, the Observatory said.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Observatory, said there was a substantial drop in the level of fighting.
"There are not too many clashes in Syria, not too many people died and no airplanes in the sky," he said.
Syria's state news agency said Assad attended holiday prayers in Al-Afram Mosque in Al-Muhajireen district of Damascus. The embattled president was shown briefly on TV, sitting on the mosque floor and praying. He was later seen smiling and shaking hands with worshippers.
Assad has rarely appeared in public during the uprising. He was last shown on state TV Oct. 6, when he laid a wreath to mark the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1973 Arab-Israel war.
More than 35,000 people have been killed, including more than 8,000 government troops, since the uprising against Assad began, according to activists.

Spy Software for Tablets Released
Retina-X Studios, LLC, today announced release of what they're calling the "world's first spy software" for tablets. PeekTab runs on iPad and Android tablets; a version for the BlackBerry PlayBook is in the works.
Silent Monitor
Like eBlaster Mobile (for Android), PeekTab runs silently in the background, with no visible sign of its presence. It tracks all actions by the child or employee and transmits logs to a secure online control panel. The administrator can view logs remotely from any Internet-equipped computer.
PeekTab tracks all websites visited, like most parental control applications. GPS tracking lets the administrator see where the tablet was at any given time and helps locate a lost tablet. The product logs all contacts and calendar events as well as all photos snapped or downloaded.
The product's datasheet points out that "some [apps] may be inappropriate for your child, and employees have many options available for wasting time at work." Using PeekTab's log of apps installed you can check exactly what's present on the tablet.
Platform-Specific Features
In addition to the comprehensive logging features already mentioned, the iPad edition records all details of email messages sent and received, including the subject, email address, date/time stamp, and full text. It also logs all sticky notes created, with full text and date/time stamp.
The Android edition includes two special features for tablets that have a SIM card slot. It can record all text messages sent and received, along with the phone number. It doesn't record the content of voice calls, but it logs the phone number for all calls placed and received.
Should You Use It?
James Johns, CEO of Retina-X Studios, said, "Like computers and smartphones, tablets are also Internet devices with potential for Internet abuse." He noted that installing PeekTab on company-supplied tablets brings many benefits. "By knowing the truth about employee tablet usage they will be able to control efficiency and learn if confidential company information is sent from the tablets."
There is a downside, however. Laws vary by state, but employees have certain rights to privacy even when using company-owned devices. The law also may require notifying employees of any monitoring software, making the product's full stealth installation illegal. Parents feeling the need to spy on their kids are in a somewhat different situation, but trust is still an issue.
In order to install PeekTab on an iPad, you must jailbreak the device. That makes sense; without jailbreaking stealth installation isn't even possible. PeekTab's documentation says jailbreaking "is an easy free process and is completely reversible," but security experts strongly advise against jailbreaking iOS devices.
PeekTab is available directly from Retina-X Studios for $29.97 per quarter.

Performance Textile Leader CRYPTON INC. Purchases NANOTEX
|(Nanowerk News) CRYPTON INC. has acquired NANOTEX®, announced Randy Rubin, Chairman of The Crypton Companies. The privately held, 20-year-old Crypton Fabrics, based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, early this year purchased NANOTEX from private equity and venture capital investors; WL Ross and Co. LLC as major stockholders, in addition to Norwest Venture Partners, Masters Capital Nanotechnology Fund, Firelake Capital Management and Masters Capital Management.
|NANOTEX is a textile technology company whose performance finishes have enhanced leading consumer brands such as GAP, TARGET, MAIDENFORM, BASS PRO SHOPS, NORDSTROM, LANDS END, FISHER-PRICE and many more.
|NANOTEX employs a proprietary nanotechnology approach to enhance textiles at the molecular level that provides permanent performance attributes such as stain and water resistance, moisture wicking, odor control, static elimination and wrinkle free properties. The end result is performance fabrics that maintain the original comfort, look and feel of the fabric and perform for the life of the product.
|In 2013, NANOTEX technologies were on $280 million in branded finished products at retail worldwide.
|Wilbur Ross, Jr., Chairman of WL Ross said, We are extremely pleased by Cryptons acquisition. This assures that NANOTEX will continue on a strong growth trajectory. Its expanding market reach and prominence will further enhance the competitiveness of WL Rosss companies in the consumer and industrial fabrics industries, too; the goal that sparked our initial investment interest in NANOTEX eight years ago.
|This is a strategic acquisition as we extend our market share with apparel throughout the world. The intellectual properties and latest development, Aquapel®, a non-fluorinated repellency treatment, is very exciting to our research team, said Rubin.
|When Crypton entered the contract market in 1993, it provided an alternative to vinyl, which had been the go-to product for heavily used upholstered furniture. In revolutionizing performance textiles, Crypton opened the doors for new design opportunities to an entire industry.
|A master branding company, Crypton has enjoyed an unparalleled branding trajectory in the interior design community, achieving more than 90 percent brand awareness of their products in the first seven years of business. Today, they are known for their strategic and innovative new product developments, branding techniques and strategies.
|The pairing of two great performance textile brain trusts will only be enhanced by the shared technology of the two companies, added Rubin. We will each bring new resources to this union, which will only strengthen us both in the retail and contract marketplace, she added.
|NANOTEX will now be headquartered at The Crypton Companies in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan but will maintain sales operations in the US, Asia, India and Europe. In addition, the company will keep distribution centers in Hong Kong, Belgium, Mainland China, and the U.S. The technical transfer capabilities, provided from China and India, will be on-going ensuring the continuity and expansion of the companys global footprint.
|The Crypton Companies have provided patented, environmentally friendly, textile performance solutions since 1993. During that time, the cornerstone product of the business, CRYPTON Super Fabric, revolutionized the use of fabrics in the healthcare, hospitality, government, education and contract segments. More than 100 million yards of Crypton fabrics are installed in commercial and residential applications worldwide, providing unparalleled stain, moisture and anti microbial resistance.

From staff reports
The Ohio University Board of Trustees discussed long-term planning efforts and approved a $970 million, six-year capital improvement plan (CIP) at meetings yesterday and today.
Stephen Golding, vice president for Finance and Administration, presented the updated CIP, which covers fiscal years 2015 through 2020, to the full Board on Thursday. The plan builds on the one approved in 2011 and encompasses all planned construction, infrastructure and information technology projects on the Athens and regional campuses. It also provides a 20-year planning context that anticipates OHIO's capital needs over the next two decades.
The University's academic mission and strategic goals form the foundation of the plan. Golding said that this "smart growth" strategy, which also takes into account the CIP's cumulative financial impact, swing space and staffing requirements, is essential for a transformational initiative of this scope.
The major construction projects – including the Housing Development Plan, a new interdisciplinary science facility, a replacement power plant and major renovations to buildings like Seigfred Hall, Ellis Hall and Alden Library – are primarily funded through debt issuances. The remainder of the funding comes from gifts, grants and internal working capital, with state capital appropriations targeted toward smaller projects that help to reduce the institution's deferred maintenance backlog.
Although Board members approved the entire six-year plan, they will review it on an annual basis in order to evaluate and approve any necessary modifications. This process ensures that the plan can best serve the University's changing needs over time and that the resources are there to cover the capital costs associated with each project.
Executive Vice President and Provost Pam Benoit also gave the Board an update on the progress of the Tuition Guarantee Implementation Team in solidifying the details of the University's guaranteed tuition program. As outlined by the committee, the constant tuition rate will be set for four years, or 12 sequential terms. This includes both in-state and out-of-state undergraduate students in a degree-seeking program on the Athens campus.
A significant task moving forward will be to establish policies and procedures to determine exceptions to the 12-term model. For example, extensions may be granted for students called to active military duty, students enrolled in academic programs that require more than four years to complete and students who withdraw for approved medical reasons.
The guaranteed tuition program is on track to be completed and in place in time for a fall 2015 launch.
The next Board meeting will be on Jan. 24, 2014.
In other business, the Board approved:
A resolution to change the rate for a Masters in Education Administration off-campus graduate program to the standard semester rate of $505 per hour and to replace the regional campus graduate tuition table with a simple hourly rate consistent with the rate used in all off-campus graduate programs. Both changes will be effective in spring 2014.
A resolution to approve a priority listing of deferred maintenance projects to submit to the Board of Regents as the University's FY 2015 to FY 2016 state appropriation request.
Resolutions to approve and authorize the University to develop construction documents, receive bids and awards contracts for the Housing Development Plan Phase I construction and upgrades to seven elevators on the Athens campus.
A resolution to award contracts to undertake the schematic design for the Lausche Heating Plant replacement.
A resolution to accept the recommendations of the 2012-2013 Review of Centers and Institutes.
Resolutions to approve offering a Bachelor of Science degree in Energy Engineering by the department of Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Operations Management by the department of Engineering Technology and Management. Both degrees are offered through the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ College of Engineering and Technology.
A resolution to change the name of the Master of Education in Cultural Studies in Education to the Master of Education in Critical Studies in Educational Foundations.
A resolution to accept the Plante Moran audit of the University for the year ending on June 30.
A resolution to declare 20 Home Street, consisting of 3.259 acres, and 357 East State Street, consisting of 2.07 acres, to be surplus property. The president or his designee is authorized to negotiate, evaluate or otherwise transact the disposition of both properties, consistent with the requirements of Ohio law.

A heartbreaking documentary by filmmaker Lee Hirsch, who looks at the victims of bullying: a sensitive boy who's attacked daily on a school bus, a lonely gay girl, a teen driven to bring a gun to school. Every student should see it.
Featuring: Ja'Meya Jackson, Alex Libby, Kelby Johnson
Director: Lee Hirsch
Rating: Four stars out of five
At one point in the heartbreaking documentary, Bully, a 12-year-old boy from Sioux City, Iowa, named Alex Libby, is talking about his day on the school bus. It's just another day, we can see, in a lonely hell that shows no signs of ending.
"This high-schooler was strangling me, but I think he was just messing around," Alex tells his father: part testimony, part attempt to reduce the severity of the relentless torment he undergoes. It feels like a confession, because, in some way, Alex -- a thin and lost-looking boy whose prominent lips lead other children to call him "Fish Face," to poke him with pencils and punch him in the arm and knock him into lockers -- is more than a victim. In the twisted world of Bully, it's also his fault, in some way, for not "standing up" to the young sadists who dominate his world.
Bully is the straightforward tale of five small-town American children who are bullied for various reasons, two of them into committing suicide. "Kids told him to go hang himself, that he was worthless, and I think he got to the point where enough was enough," says David Long, of Murray County, Georgia, whose son Tyler committed suicide at the age of 17. The next day at school, we later learn, a group of students showed up with ropes around their necks in mocking salute.
Bully says 13 million American schoolchildren are the victims every year. Filmmaker Lee Hirsch followed some of them with a small camera, riding to and from school on the bus, roaming the halls, talking to school officials. It's a frightening and frustrating journey. "Does it make you feel good when they punch you?" Alex's mother asks him, after the filmmakers -- worried for Alex's safety -- have shown her footage of what happens every day. "I'm starting to feel I don't feel anything any more," Alex says.
Alex is just one of the stories in Bully, which concentrates on the heartland of America. It's clear the stories could be told anywhere, but there's a special kind of hell for Kelby Johnson, 16, of Tuttle, Oklahoma, a prepossessing girl with broad shoulders, a confident bearing and a rueful sadness. When Kelby came out as gay, she was banned from the school teams and shunned by her classmates. Someone put a note on her locker reading, "Faggots aren't welcomed here." She says her teachers took attendance for "boys," "girls" and "Kelby." Her parents say their old friends and neighbours will no longer have anything to do with them.
The family wanted to move, but Kelby -- who is blessed, unlike some bullied kids, with a group of friends -- is determined to stick it out and change minds. Eventually, she realizes that some minds take too long to change.
The story of Ja'Meya Jackson of Yazoo City, Mississippi, was almost even more tragic: After years of bullying and insults, she pulled a gun on a school bus, and faced 22 counts of kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Maybe she should have done something else, but Bully's interviews with school officials can bring you close to tears of impotent rage. When a young boy tells a vice-principal named Kim Lockwood about how he is teased in the cafeteria -- "He calls me a faggot. ... It breaks my heart" -- she tells him, "I don't have any magic." Alex's parents go to the school to complain, only to be told that lots of kids have trouble on school buses.
Bully doesn't break much new ground in its dissection of the issues: There are no studies or psychologists to explain things. But it puts a face on the victims (and sometimes, on the perpetrators, who carry an attitude of invulnerability), and it comes with an agenda, including promoting a group called Stand for the Silent that is touring schools and asking children to stop bullying when they see it.
Alas, this has proven to be difficult, as well: American censors stamped Bully with an R rating because the f-word is used a few times (the movie is rated PG in Canada). This means that its target audience, young teenagers, can't watch it, and it can't be shown in schools. It has now been released in the U.S. with no rating, which means some theatres won't show it. By contrast, The Hunger Games, a film about adolescents who murder one another, has been rated PG-13.

'Enterprise is Where the Money Is': Why Salesforce Backs Alchemist Accelerator
When Ravi Belani started Alchemist Accelerator in 2012, it was an experiment.
A former associate with Draper Fisher Jurvetson and a lecturer on entrepreneurship at Stanford University, he said he'd noticed that while accelerators were full of "19-year-old consumer guys," there was another type of entrepreneur that wasn't being served.
"I saw phenomenal entrepreneurs who'd been working (in business) for a decade and were old enough to be wise and young enough to be dangerous—and I was too," he said.
Now Alchemist is celebrating its first birthday, along with an investment from Salesforce.com.
Salesforce declined to comment on the investment or disclose the amount. But the investment by the customer-relationship-management giant adds to the credibility of Alchemist, which is still one of the few Silicon Valley accelerators to focus solely on startups that sell to businesses, even as the popularity of business software grows.
It's also important for Salesforce, which sees big business in getting startups to write applications for its platform.
Veeva Inc., for instance, a company started in 2006 by former Salesforce executive Peter Gassner to build Salesforce-based applications for the life sciences and biotechnology industries, went public in October and now has a market cap of nearly $4 billion.
"Maybe it's just everybody recognizing that enterprise is where the money is, but with the Veeva IPO, everybody started realizing that the smaller microverticals are multibillion-dollar industries," said Salesforce Senior Vice President Ron Huddleston.
In the year or so since Alchemist launched, 33 startups have graduated from its program and a dozen have gone on to raise money from prominent venture capital firms and/or strategic investors, including Salesforce.
Five of the Alchemist graduates so far have been founded by former employees of Salesforce, which is a company that attracts top talent, Mr. Belani said, so Salesforce's investment is one way for the company "to keep a pulse on their talent" and not lose them.
The investment is also a recognition that even though most startups will continue to fail, those that do succeed are growing faster than ever before.
In November, Salesforce announced a new software platform, Salesforce1, and it's now working with venture capital firms and other partners to encourage companies to develop applications for and even start businesses on this platform, which can deliver sales, service and marketing applications to any device.
This is a smart strategy, according to Emergence Capital General Partner Kevin Spain, whose venture firm—the sole backer of Veeva--works closely with both Salesforce and Alchemist.
Companies make software development decisions early, he said, and once they've been made, those decisions are hard to reverse. Also, regardless of what Salesforce is doing with startups on its own, it's smart to be working with a quality accelerator like Alchemist, because "no company has a monopoly on the best entrepreneurs."
Alchemist plans to invest in 35 to 40 companies this year, Mr. Belani said, taking them in three batches of six-month classes that overlap, like business school, so that all companies get the chance to work together.
The accelerator provides faculty drawn from a pool of prominent business executives and technologists in Silicon Valley along with mentors, customers who act as advisers on products and strategy, and off-the-record events at local venture capital firms.
One Alchemist graduate, Joshua Bloom, the chief executive of Big Data analytics company Wise.io Inc., described Alchemist as "a crash course in how (businesses that sell to businesses) are being constructed."
Dr. Bloom is also an associate professor of astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley. But he said the speech he gave in May at Alchemist's Demo Day, where he had to choose just the right body language and just the right words, was the hardest presentation he'd ever done.
"You have eight minutes and you're off, and there are a lot of things you have to touch on," Dr. Bloom said.
Salesforce is Alchemist's sixth investor—the others are Khosla Ventures, DFJ, US Venture Partners, Cisco Systems Inc. and SAP AG—but all parts of Alchemist's ecosystem, from the faculty to investors to customers, are growing stronger, Mr. Belani said, and the bar for companies to get funded after they graduate is getting higher.
"I'm surprised by traditional corporate America's desire to support Alchemist," he said. "There's a deep hunger by mainstream Fortune 500 companies to tap into Silicon Valley in deeper ways than I ever expected—I get lots of interesting calls from big companies."
Alchemist's next Demo Day is January 23. With the investment from Salesforce, the accelerator now has enough money to last into 2016.

Amy's News
News articles related to our company and products.
Amy's Kitchen has impressed us again, this time with its Vegetarian Breakfast Patties. These actually taste more like a veggie burger than sausage, thanks to organic vegetables and wheat in place of soy, with just a touch of sausage flavoring. Put these patties in a sandwich if you aren't in a brunch state of mind. Amy's has also busted out some other fabulous frozen products, including a Baked Ziti Bowl with soy cheese and a subtly spiced Indian Spinach Tofu Wrap.

"If I have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." – Sir Issac Newton
In preparation of the 75th ASIS&T Anniversary and 30th Anniversary of SIG-III, Daniel Alemneh, Chair of SIG-III, interviewed SIG-III founders and pioneers Toni Carbo and Michel Menou in September 2012.
It is very fitting to open our interview (our "Cofounders Reflections") with Sir Issac Newton's famous saying. It is true that leadership qualities are instilled in almost every individual when they are born. But, opportunities for developing leadership skills are provided to everyone as they grow and mature. Taking advantage of these opportunities and learning from the experiences are truly what makes leaders in almost any field. In this regard, the interviews are really an opportunity to visit with the two SIG-III Co-founders, learn from their experiences, and capture their reflections, and make a lasting contribution to SIG-III and ASIS&T history.
