Great Experience
" Thanks for making the long trip from Missouri to buy our Forester XT, it was a pleasure working with you. "
Best Deal
" Thanks Zac for always giving me the best deal every time I want to switch up rides! "
" I was able to switch over to a BMW from my Toyota. Thank you Zac for the upgrade! I recommend Zac for your vehicle needs. "
Easy Proccess
" Zach is super friendly, responsive and has good knowledge about cars. He makes buying a car super easy process. "
Excellent Service
" Zac has been helping me and my family with my car purchases since 2013. He shares good automotive knowledge and is always pleasant, patient, and willing to go the extra mile with his customers. He has a lot of experience and I've built trust over the years buying from him. I've never had any issues and I am excited for more vehicle purchases in the future. Thanks Zac! "
Satisfaction Guaranteed
" As someone who has purchased many vehicles over the years, from both OEM dealerships, and used dealerships, I can't say enough about Zac and PNW Luxury Cars. When I initially started my most recent search for an Audi SQ5, I was initially working with an OEM Audi dealership in Palo Alto, California. The sales manager, and salesperson at Audi Palo Alto started jerking me around, using predatory bait-and-switch sales tactics. Luckily, I found an almost identical spec SQ5 here at PNW Luxury Cars, and gave them a call. The level of service, transparency, and urgency that I received from Zac was phenomenal. The OEM Audi dealership should sit down with a notepad and watch Zac work, because they could (and should) certainly learn plenty from him and this dealership. Top notch treatment, no BS, very pleasant to work with. If you are reading these reviews because you are considering buying a car here, then trust me, give them a call, you will not regret it. This is not your typical used dealership. Thanks again for everything Zac! I will certainly be back for the next car. "
BMW- best buying experience
" My wife and I are pleased to say that our buying experience with Zac was as good as it gets. They're easy going, personable, knowledgeable, straightforward and helpful. I did a web search across the US for a limited edition BMW; they had it; we cut a deal over the phone; now the car is in our driveway; and the process went really, really well. Zac, We wish you all the best as you continue to grow your business - would that there were more car dealerships like yours. // Doug "
BMW Family
" Zac went above and beyond to assist us through the purchase, from taking numerous inquires from me about the features on the vehicle to financing. It was so worth the drive from Olympia to Seattle to purchase our vehicle from PNW Luxury Cars. We shopped around, did our price and quality checks and made the decision that PNW Luxury Car Dealership earned our trust in purchasing another BMW. This "BMW Family" of four Beemer's will definitely be a return customer always!! "
Love my Audi
" Zac helped me get my new Audi and was unbelievably helpful throughout the entire process, and I'll be passing his name along to my family and friends going forward. Zac is the respectable, straight forward, and honest with full disclosure kind of guy you want to buy a car from! He is also super personable, so definitely ask him about the documentaries he shot with his father growing up in Alaska, his stories won't disappoint! "
Great cars, great prices
" I test drove some cars with ease. Zac was not pressuring at all which made the test drive so much easier. If you see something you want to test drive you shouldn't hesitate to contact this place. The prices are set at a aggressive market price, so don't wait around. "
Quality Service
" I saw this beautiful 2015 Honda Civic SI sedan on their website and it was exactly what I have been looking for. I wanted a small 4-door sedan and it had to be black. When we got there he took a copy of my license and went out and started it and off we went. Brought it back , talked to my wife and she agreed that it was perfect for me. We filled out the paperwork with Joost, and less than an hour, we were the owners of our third black car. Their inventory is quite large and have a nice selection of luxury automobiles. If you are looking for quality, you've got to check them out! "
Great Guys,Great Experience
" The best car buying experience that I've ever had, and I have purchased new cars, CPO cars, and used cars over the years. This is the experience that impressed me the most. I saw one of their cars online and sent an email that I would be stopping by at a certain time. When I arrived, the car was washed and it was featured right out front, waiting for me. Zac and Brandon were there and handed me the keys and invited me to take a solo test drive and to take all the time I wanted looking over the vehicle. There is something special about the freedom that these guys provided. The car was very clean and nicely optioned. I decided to buy. I got to meet Zachary, Brandon, Branko, and Thomas, who are all really excellent guys. Professional, hard working, knowledgeable, honest, down to earth, and friendly! A great group of guys, like buying a car with my buddies. The thing that stays with me about this purchase is how different this experience was compared to all of my other car buying experiences. During my purchase experience, I learned that Zac is the guy that keeps the inventory packed with nicely optioned cars If you find a car online at PNW that you like, arrange to go see it. I expect that you will be given the freedom and time to discover how good your potential future car is. I got a reasonable value for my trade and I'm loving my newly acquired Porsche. You will be doing yourself a favor by stopping by. These guys are excellent. "
Best Experience
" I did my due diligence with all the local dealers. I can tell you this is the best experience I have ever had! They were straight foward to deal with from Zack to all upper management. Not only do they have the best price in town, but the overall experience was second to none. Highly recommend this place!! "
" Purchased a 2014 BMW X3 from Zac and Brandon, what a great deal, very happy with vehicle. Paper work went quickly and smoothly, Brandon very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. Will recommend this dealership to friends and family. "
Best for Luxury Cars
" Brandon and Zac were very easy and nice to work with. None of that time-wasting BS that you get from other dealers. If you are looking for a recent luxury car, be sure to check out their website. If they have something you like, go check them out. "
Smooth and Efficient Process
" Great experience with Brandon and Branko! I live 2 hours away, but was able to get a lot of things worked out with Brandon over the phone. I came in with pre approved financing and Branko was able to get me a way better interest rate. The whole process was smooth and efficient. Would definitely recommend! "
My Dream Car
" Worked with both Brandon and Zachary. This dealer is one of the best I have ever dealt with, bar none. They stand behind the sale all the way even when some issues later arise (a class act). They are fair & honest & polite & reasonable, and always reachable. There is no "Good Cop - Bad Cop" games that you get at most dealers with a hidden general manager somewhere behind the curtain. There is no selling pressure whatsoever. Their prices are fair right out of the box. I purchased my dream car, an Audi S6 which had a couple of issues arise that needed resolving and everything was resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Ergo, we split the cost of a 2nd key. There was no heat shield protector on the underside of the motor cover which was burning the paint on the motor cover so they replaced it. I paid full price in exchange for fresh tires and the front bumper paint nicks sanded and repainted which were done very professionally. The car is immaculate now, awesome.!!! The car was serviced by their service arm: Arrow Automotive that was also very professional, and I got a copy of all that was done to bring the car to top condition. I recommend this dealership very highly. Thank you for being reasonable and professional ZACH.... Bill from Tacoma "
Love my Porsche Panamera
" Bought my Porsche Panamera from here. Bronko and the guys made the process super fast and comfortable and got me crazy deal! Can't thank you guys enough! Love my new car! "
HIGHLY Recommend
" To start we live 1.5 hours away and we were worried about approvals since are credit is not the greatest. Spoke to Zac once over the phone and the rest of the pre-approval process was simple and could be done over text message while out looking at closer dealerships to home. We had been searching for the right car for months that fit with our lifestyle and budget along with credit scores, (keep in mind I've personally been to over 60+ dealerships in 22 states during my life). We had been pre-approved through Capitol one auto financing with a 15.55% interest rate, which given our history seemed reasonable. Zac and the team worked hard on our deal and got us down over 2% by the time it was finalized. Never thought we'd be able to own such a nice car with manageable payments until later in life, but these guys will really go to bat for you and get the best possible deal. I will never buy another car from anywhere other than here in the future. HIGHLY recommend making the trip it WILL be worth your time. Keep doing what you guys are doing and you'll have repeat business for life! Thanks again for all the help "
Customer for life
" This is the best place to buy a vehicle, they make you feel very comfortable the minute you get there. Brandon and Branko make the buying experience actually a fun experience. You won't feel pressured or rushed, not to mention they have an exceptional inventory. I'm a customer for life and will tell family and friends, Thanks again guys, Kelly "

We lost Bulgaria. We are likely soon to lose the Czech Republic. We gained Ukraine. Poland has always stood with us. Germany hedges its bets. France definitely is not with us. The United Kingdom probably will side with us. The Baltic States would love to join us if they have the resources. A fierce battle rages over Romania.
The adversary is Russia, a petro-state that projects power through control of the European energy market. President Vladimir Putin's regime depends on selling hydrocarbons. That pays for the Russian state and for a patronage system that keeps his supporters and backers in clover.
Many of Gazprom's decisions are political. It pays for long pipelines to bypass Ukraine. Political appointments and scams are costly. Analysts estimate that Gazprom needs to charge about $12 per 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas to break even. It collects about $16 per 1,000 cubic feet in Eastern Europe. In the United States, the cost is about $2.
The price of natural gas in America dropped because hydraulic fracturing glutted the market with cheap gas. There are no such commercial wells in Europe.
If hydraulic fracturing can be used on a commercial scale in Europe, the price of natural gas there will plummet. It could force Russia to start working for a living and would have radical political repercussions.
The holy grail for Gazprom is a European Union-wide ban or moratorium on the technology. The more countries adopt such restrictions, the stronger the case for it would be in Brussels, capital of the EU, and Strasbourg, seat of the European Parliament.
The challenge facing Gazprom is to convince nations that pay it exorbitant sums of foreign currency to forgo a technology that can save them a lot of money, create local jobs and support their political independence. This challenge is not unlike the task the Soviet Union faced after World War II: The United States offered the devastated countries of Europe substantial free economic aid in the Marshall Plan. Fearing economic and political independence, the Soviets had to persuade Europeans to give up free money.
Some Czech anti-hydraulic-fracturing demonstrators, who protested against granting concessions to Hutton Energy, an Australian company headquartered in London, carried signs proclaiming, "We do not want your American money." They could have dusted off similar signs from 1947.
This time, the mobilizing ideology is not anti-capitalism but environmentalism. Russia's Mr. Putin has become a great champion of other countries' environments. Gazprom and Russia pay directly or indirectly, through public-relations firms and environmentalist groups, for the creation of grand coalitions with authentic environmentalist groups. As in the national fronts of post-World War II Europe that paved the way for communist takeovers, the groups that are loyal to Moscow control the coalitions. Such organizations do not, for example, criticize nuclear power as long as it is provided by Russia or condemn the effect of drilling in Siberia on the Russian environment.

Hopefully somebody shows this article also to Gazprom´s latest recruitment in Europe, German football legend Franz Beckenbauer!

Use GMail Filesystem As a Virtual Hard Drive
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Software
We all know how great Google GMail is. People have been clamoring for invitations to Google's email service for months, and those that have it flaunt it. Well, since pretty much no one is going to fill up their Google mailboxes with actual email anytime soon, why not use the space for something more useful? GMail Drive is just the thing, as it turns the filesystem used on your GMail account into a virtual hard drive. It will show up as a drive within Windows, and you can drag-and-drop files directly to your Google webspace! The downside? You can not upload files larger than 10 MB, which is the GMail attachment size limit. More info on the product:
GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.
GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.
Oh, and speaking of Gmail, the Gear Live Gmail Giveaway is still in full effect. Click around, you may just nab yourself an invite.

Colour: red with shiny golden glints
Tasting Notes: Candy Wild strawberry notes followed by a ripe delicious strawberry flavour and a fresh after taste.
Application: Cocktails, mocktails, Lemonades, Smoothies, Milkshakes, Teas
Oozing the sweetness of sun-drenched summer days, small succulent wild strawberries pack a powerful fruity punch with a sweet, fragrant flavour, which is different from the classic strawberry.
Eaten raw or used for baking and making jams, wild strawberries can be harvested from roadsides, rocky riverbeds or in fields and woods. A natural delicacy, they have been consumed since the Middle Ages.
MONIN Wild Strawberry captures this beautiful, intense flavour in a syrup, which is the perfect partner for vodka and wine to create aromatic, refreshing cocktails with a taste of the wild.
Please note: Curdling can sometimes occur when milk is mixed with acidic flavours. Here are some top tips to avoid this.
Cold Drinks (Milkshakes & Iced Coffees)
We don't recommend using this syrup with steamers.

I woke up early last Friday and make a trip down to Thien Hou Temple at Taman Seputeh. Since I wanted to do some prayers, I thought it would be nice to take my camera long to take shoot some pictures of the place.

Floating Flowers Centerpiece
Keep the cross-table conversation flowing with elegant, low floral runners and place-card holders. They're easy on the eye and easy to re-create. Enlist lush peonies and gaylax leaves to compose your arrangements, then scatter artfully down the center of your reception tables.
What You'll Need
- CB2 "Modern" salad plate and dip dish
- Floral foam
- Gaylax leaves
- Three large peonies
How-To Make the Floating Flowers
- For the runner, cut floral foam, a spongelike anchor used by florists, to fit a 7-inch-wide shallow dish, and add water. Stick the stems of gaylax leaves into the foam. Then insert two or three large peonies, with stems trimmed, on top.
- For the place-card holder, cut floral foam to fit a 3 1/2-inch-wide shallow dish, and follow the directions above, except use only one peony. Tuck a place card inside the flower.

- "This is the ideal starter cauldron, as used by first-year students at Hogwarts. It's perfect for brewing a wide range of potions and carrying books to class."
- —Advert at Potage's Cauldron Shop[src]
A Pewter Cauldron is a cauldron made from pewter, a metal alloy made up of mostly tin. A Standard Size 2 Pewter Cauldron is part of the supply list for first-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,[1] as it is deemed the ideal cauldron for starters.[2] One can purchase a Standard Size 2 Pewter Cauldron at Potage's Cauldron Shop, for a cost of fifteen Galleons.[2] Out of the three common varieties of cauldron — copper, brass and pewter — pewter cauldrons brew at a slow speed.

Busy, growing mobile practice located in Eugene, Oregon is seeking a full or part time veterinarian with at least one year of experience. We are looking for a highly motivated, positive and compassionate veterinarian to join our wonderful team. Enjoy the fresh air, while traveling to see our exceptional clients and patients in their homes. Every day is different and providing in-home care is rewarding in a way that practicing medicine in a clinic is not. Our clients and their pets become like family and they are extremely appreciative that we come to them.
We are looking for a skilled veterinarian that feels confident in providing excellent medical, surgical and dental care to our patients.

New Panerai Watches
Panerai Watches for Sale
Introduction to Panerai Watches
The beginnings of Officine Panerai Watches, founded by Italian watchmaker Giovanni Panerai, began during the 1860's in Florence, Italy. The unique storefront was a one stop shop with everything available held together in one place – a shop, a repair workshop, and the city's first watchmaking school. The shop later assumes the name "Orologeria Svizzera," roughly translating to "Swiss Watchmaking."
During the late nineteenth century, Giovanni and his son Leon Francesco worked with renowned watch leaders in the industry, building relationships and establishing their supplier network, which led them to their solid foundation of growth before entering the next chapter of producing watches.
Under guided direction from Leon Francesco, the company expanded to also become a research and development operation, from specializing in mechanical engineering to hardware fabrications.
By the next century, Panerai Watches was known as "Guido Panerai & Figlio," as it incorporated Giovanni's Grandson's name, Guido into the brand. As the brand became established, Guido secured a deal that made Panerai Watches the official supplier for the Royal Italian Navy, Regia Marina. Their inventions and discoveries during the course of building military watches made them legendary in this sector.
As the brand continued to explore new materials and instruments for the military, they were able to file their first patent, under Radiomir, in March of 1916. The company invented a radium-based powder that could be used to illuminate the dials on their products. Based on how well this material worked, Radiomir soon became a key element used in the company's watch production. The substance's luminosity levels were highly visible and was also excellent underwater. Browse our catalog to find a large collection of Panerai online!
The First Models of Panerai Watches
The first Radiomir model, now known as "Radiomir," was made in 1936 – with only ten prototypes produced – specifically created for the "frogman commandos of the First Submarine Group Command of the Royal Italian Navy." The actual production of these watches didn't go into effect until two years later in 1938, due to multiple changes and features. The collection of watches was indeed meticulous as they were required to meet the demands and standards of the Royal Italian Navy. Now the current Panerai Radiomir model still contains many of the features that were inspired from the original models. Specific models were also created for different tier of officers such as the Panerai Mare Nostrum, which was designed for the deck officers. However, there were only a rare number of these made.
By 1949, the brand found a new self-luminous material in which they patented under Luminor, replacing their previous element of Radiomir. To avoid confusion, the patented names of Radiomir and Luminor referred to the luminescent paints in the beginning. From there, these trademarked names would later be inspired to be used as the models' name of case design.
In 1993, Panerai paid tribute with their inspiration from the Royal Italian Navy and revealed a collection of three series limited edition watches to the public. The collections included Panerai watch Luminor, Luminor Marina, and Mare Nostrum. The company was later acquired in 1997, by the Richemont Group (then Vendome Group), and became a key player in the international market of luxury watches. Part of the debut were the two models in the collection, the first one is the base model Luminor Panerai originally crafted and from there came the Panerai Luminor Marina in three different versions. The Mare Nostrum also returns in a new redesign.
Many Panerai watches are made on the exclusive end, with that meaning that these watches are often times popular amongst watch collectors and enthusiasts, it may sometimes be difficult to find the more vintage limited Panerai watches for sale.
Searching through various Panerai online stores and dealers or deciding where the best place to find Panerai watches for sale may be difficult and that's why we created a space for luxury watch shopping, here at Watchshopping.com. You'll be able to browse through our collections of Panerai men's watches and women's watches online as our inventory gets updated often. Also, if there is a particular Panerai men's watch or women's watch you are seeking, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information and/or availability as well.

Still recovering from a mysterious early morning attack in New York City that saw him hospitalized with a broken nose, concussion, and facial lacerations, singer Gavin DeGraw took to Twitter to update his fans on his status.
""Honestly, I don't remember much," writes DeGraw. "I only know I can recover from here."
"Thank u all for your genuine concern. I love u guys."
U.S. & World
A representative for DeGraw has also issued a statement canceling the performer's next two shows, which were supposed to take place on Long Island and in Massachusetts on August 12 and 13.
The 34 year-old told New York cops he was assaulted early Monday morning after leaving an East Village restaurant.
Details were sketchy as a source says the "I Don't Want to Be" singer was highly intoxicated and did not initially report the assault to police.
Police learned of the attack only after being called by staff at Bellevue Hospital where DeGraw went after the attack.
Several white and Hispanic men assaulted him, DeGraw told police.
TMZ reported DeGraw has been touring with Train and Maroon 5. They were scheduled to perform Tuesday night in Saratoga Springs.
DeGraw has a new album, "Sweeter," due out in September. He's probably best known for his hit song "Chariot."
Police are continuing their investigation.

HUNTINGTON, WV – After Monday's unanimous vote by the Huntington (W. Va.) City Council to override the mayor's veto, Marshall University will move forward on a $90 million construction project to build a new student recreation center and new residence halls, the Huntington Herald-Dispatch reported.
Mayor David Felinton had vetoed two ordinances that authorized the sale of two pieces of property to Marshall University for $10,000. Felinton said that Marshall's appraisal of $10,000 was too low and that a second appraisal valued the properties at $184,000, according to the newspaper.
Menis Ketchum, chairman of Marshall's Board of Governors, argued that Marshall's appraisal was appropriate because the properties—including one behind an old church site for the student recreation center—were of no use to anyone but Marshall and that they could not be used for commercial use, the Herald-Dispatch reported.
The 123,000-square-foot recreation center is scheduled to open in January 2009.

After a successful jaunt up to Manchester for the UK National Coffee Throwing Competition and Tamper Tantrum Live at Cup North this weekend, our attention has turned fully to Paris. Known for its food, wine, and café culture, Paris' specialty coffee culture has gone on a very visible journey from having a practically non-existent specialty coffee scene, the early development phase, and the point at which Paris was recognized, on an international level, as having a specialty coffee scene.
Today's talk from the catacombs is a truly fascinating one, offering a snapshot of the Parisian specialty coffee scene in 2012, right around the time it was starting to gain traction. David Nigel Flynn's talk, "Jus de Chaussette" ("Sock Juice"), looks at the French culture of taste and of tradition, why specialty coffee is so hard for the French to swallow, and ways in which specialty coffee shops can frame the conversation in the way that doesn't make traditionalists defensive. There are some real pearls of wisdom in this talk that, despite the fact that it is directly tied to a specific time and place, are still incredibly relevant to our discussions of specialty coffee today.
We're excited to bring this talk back for two reasons: (1) we're planning on visiting a tonne of shops next week and want to see how much of an impact the introduction of "Jus de Chausette" has had on the French specialty coffee scene and, (2) it's making us ask ourselves, in light of recent and plentiful conversations about third wave stagnation, how much have we actually progressed since 2012?

Angus T. Jones isn't the only one who thinks his TV show is "filth." Rainn Wilson is convinced "The Office" will "rot your brain" as well.
Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute on the NBC series, posted a video to his Facebook page Tuesday in which he mocks a totally serious rant made by "Two and a Half Men" star Jones in a similar video making the Internet rounds, Us Weekly reported.
Wilson, with costar Craig Robinson, says, "Dwight from 'The Office' is nothing, OK? 'The Office' is nothing, all right? If you watch 'The Office,' please don't watch 'The Office.' I'm on 'The Office.' It's filth. And that filth will rot your brain."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
On Monday, Jones made similar comments in YouTube video of his religious testimony with Forerunner Chronicles, a group linked to the Voice of Prophecy Seventh-Day Adventists church. In it, Jones, 19, details his religious awakening and criticizes the show that made him famous.
"If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men,'" he says. "I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please."
Jones released a statement Tuesday night apologizing for his outburst. "I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," he said. "I never intended that."
Jones has played Jake Harper on the CBS series since its debut in 2003.

We understand how important a gas water heater is in any home and how frustrating it can be when your gas water heater breaks. Taking cold showers is never fun, especially when your whole family has to deal with it too. We want you to be able to live comfortably in your home, which is why we guarantee we can fix your water heater in just one visit, using only the best plumbing tools to get the job done efficiently and effectively.
How Often Do I Need to Replace My Water Heater?
The average life of a water heater is around 8 to 12 years. If your water heater is on the older side, the repairs you do to it may not hold as well, and this, in the end, will cause you to pay more money for more repairs throughout the end of your water heater's life. Simplify your life and save yourself some money by getting a new water heater. We are more than happy to be there to set it up so you and your family can start using hot water that day!
How to Know When Your Water Heater Needs to be Serviced?
Beyond having to deal with taking cold showers, there are a couple other signs that will indicate your water heater is in need of service.
– A knocking sound when you turn your hot water on is a sign that your tank may have some hard residue built up in it, and it may be time to flush out the tank so that sediment can be removed completely.
– If your water looks discolored, this could be a sign that your tank is rusting.
– If you see your water heater is leaking at the base, give us a call right way. This is a major sign that your water heater may be at the end of its life and it's time to get a new one.
Plumber Goleta Will Maintain, Repair or Replace Your Water Heater
No matter if you need your water heater maintained, repaired or replaced, we'll do it all. Our plumbers have over 40 years of experience working with gas water heaters.
If it's time to replace your water heater, feel free to consult us on your next model. We'll make sure you purchase the right water heater for your home and budget.

NEW YORK: Today, New York Mayor Bloomberg shared progress he has made in making NYC a greener, more resilient city, months before the end of his mayoral term, at a day-long climate summit hosted by The Weather Company and The Climate Group as part of Climate Week NYC.
The event was opened by Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group, who during his speech said: "Like many coastal cities, New York is among the most vulnerable cities in the world. We know climate change is happening now and we must deal with it as an opportunity. We must connect the dots on finding climate solutions." In a similarly positive opening speech, David Kenny, CEO, The Weather Company stated: "We are making progress–we are slowly winning the climate battle."
New York Mayor Bloomberg, who we honoured with The Climate Group Leadership Award earlier in the week, started his speech by welcoming Climate Week NYC to the city once more. He said: "As Mark Twain once said, everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. But Climate Week NYC focuses on the doing. Now the summit is in its fifth year and we are thrilled that they keep doing it here in New York."
Now nearing the end of his final mayoral term, Mayor Bloomberg shared his progress in making the city cleaner and more resilient, including the announcement that New York City's air quality has reached the cleanest levels in more than 50 years. He said: "We are creating a greater, greener city as part of PlaNYC. With the program, we have reshaped New York to become the sustainable city we envisioned. We just presented the results of a report on major objectives of the program, which show we have some of the cleanest air of any big American city. In reducing pollution by transforming from heavy fuel oil to cleaner fuels, we went from 7th to 4th cleanest air in the US over three years. With this feat we are saving 800 lives per year, every year going forward. And we have only just started."
The milestone was achieved with big reductions in pollutants: since 2008, the levels of sulfur dioxide in the air dipped 69% and since 2007 the level of soot pollution has gone down 23%. PlaNYC's Clean Heat program, which phased out the use of the most heavily polluting heating oils in New York City, was the biggest contributor to the reductions.
The cleaner air is preventing 800 deaths and 2,000 emergency room visits and hospitalizations from lung and cardiovascular diseases a year, compared to 2008.
At The Weather Company event, the Mayor also talked about other initiatives, such as improving green spaces: half a million New Yorkers are now a ten-minute walk from a park or playground. He explained how the city is also more than three quarters of a way towards achieving its plan of planting half a million new trees, and talked about the recent launch of the 'largest bike share program of its kind in the Western hemisphere'. Bloomberg also announced that New York's waterways are cleaner than they have ever been in the last century and talked of the city's green building program, all of which feed into the goal at the heart of PlaNYC—to shrink the carbon footprint of the city by 30% by 2020, which, he announced, NYC is more than halfway to achieving.
He concluded with: "We're not just talking about the weather, but doing something about it. No matter where we're from or where we're going, we have to take care of the here and now. We have to prepare for today."
The day-long Climate Conversation took place at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers as a part of Climate Week NYC. Other speakers included Deputy Mayor for Operations Cas Holloway; Health Commissioner Thomas Farley; Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland; Director of the Office for Long-Term Planning and Sustainability Sergej Mahnovski; Andy Darrell, New York Regional Director of the Environmental Defense Fund; Michael Seilback, Vice President for Public Policy and Communications at the American Lung Association Northeast; Eddie Bautista, Executive Director of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance; and Douglas Durst, Chairman of The Durst Organization and Chair of the NYC Clean Heat Task Force.

This year's especially grim flu season has been sickening and killing a very high number of people over 65, federal officials report -- even people who consider themselves relatively healthy and not frail.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The latest flu statistics show that while the season is leveling off, it's still a bad one for seniors.
"The numbers for hospitalizations are extremely high in the elderly. In fact, they are the highest we have had since surveillance began in 2005," says Dr. Lyn Finelli, a flu expert at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "The deaths are way over the epidemic threshold. We are very concerned about the elderly this year", she added in a telephone interview.
"The elderly rates are many, many times the rates in other age groups."
Flu statistics show the virus is still widespread in 38 states. Nine percent of reported deaths were due to flu and pneumonia, still above what's considered an epidemic. And 14 more children died of flu last week, bringing the total this year to 59.
It's still especially bad in the midwest and west, although infections are beginning to wane in the east. Dr. Jeff Duchin, an epidemiologist and flu expert at the University of Washington in Seattle, says he's seen the impact.
"We have had a record in long term-care facility outbreaks this year," Duchin, who is also a spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, said in a telephone interview.
"County emergency department reports are showing us higher prevalence of disease among older folks compared to what we had seen in recent years."
CDC said people over 65 need to make sure they see a doctor right away if they get flu-like symptoms. That's because quick treatment with antivirals can help prevent serious illness.
"We see unnecessary delays in treatment, particularly in the elderly," Duchin said. "We need to recognize these cases promptly so the medications can be started promptly."
When to go to the ER with the flu
Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu only work well when given within a day or two of symptoms starting.
People 65 and older may not consider themselves at higher risk, Finelli says. But they need to: Their immune systems are less robust from those of younger people and they are still more vulnerable.
"Even if they are super-fit maybe they have other underlying conditions that put them at higher risk for the flu, like pulmonary (lung) disease and cardiovascular disease and diabetes," Finelli said.
A study published earlier this week showed that people over 65 have different types of antibodies from younger people. These immune system proteins recognize and attack invaders like germs and they are stimulated by vaccines.
The study, in the journal Science Translational Medicine, showed that the older people are, the fewer antibodies they have and they have fewer different types.
That may help explain why people have a weaker immune response to vaccines as they get older, and why they get sicker once they are infected.
Flu kills anywhere between 4,000 and 49,000 people a year, CDC says. Every year is different. But this year is shaping up to be at the high end of that scale.
"I do think in years where you have a virus that impacts the older adults particularly hard, the number of total deaths tends to be higher. I would expect that this year we'd be on the high range of deaths," said Duchin.
"It's hard to tell because the flu season is not over, but we are having a moderately severe season that is an H3N2 predominant season," Finelli said.
H3N2 is one of the different strains of flu virus circulating, and for some reason when there is lots of H3N2, more people get seriously ill and die. Ninety percent of these deaths are in people over the age of 65.
That's not always the case. In 2009-2010, a new strain of H1N1 swine flu emerged and it was the dominant strain that year. People over 65 seemed to have extra protection against that one, perhaps because they'd been infected by an ancestor of the virus in their youths. That year, flu killed more young adults and children.
CDC doesn't have precise numbers of deaths among adults. "The flu is so common that we don't have deaths in adults as a reportable condition because states would be overwhelmed by counting them," Finelli says. The CDC will calculate deaths later, after the season's over, by comparing mortality rates overall to years past and using death certificate data.
So what can people do? "It's not too late to get vaccinated," Finelli advises. "There is still vaccine out there."
Several strains of flu are circulating, and sometimes a B strain comes along after an A strain like H1N1 or H3N2 and sickens people in a new wave of illness. This year's vaccine protects against an H1N1 strain, and H3N2 strain and one B strain of influenza.
"Now we are down the the final number of doses that have been distributed," Finelli added. Manufacturers made about 140 million doses this year.
"We are also telling people to stay home when they are sick, so they are not spreading flu everywhere," Finelli added. "We are also telling people that if they are elderly, to avoid other people who are sick. If your grandkids are sick, don't volunteer to mind them."
People over 65 should also avoid places where sick people may be. "They should also ask that all their caretakers be vaccinated for the flu," Finelli added.
Studies have shown that if children are vaccinated against disease, it protects the rest of the population. This may be true for flu, too, says Duchin. "By vaccinating children we decrease the amount of pneumoccal pneumonia in older adults, which is a tremendous thing," Duchin said.
"You can protect older adults in the population by vaccinating the children."

ELIOT, Maine — Police have arrested a man wanted in connection with raping and attempted strangling of a former girlfriend at her residence in Eliot.
Paul Olsen, 31, formerly of Rollinsford, N.H., was found with relatives in Warren, Maine. He was arrested by the Knox County Sherrif's Department at approximately 10:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
According to police, Olsen reportedly broke into his former girlfirend's home at around 11:30 p.m. Monday night. The victim appeared to be kept against her will until Olsen left the residence at around 6:15 a.m. Wednesday morning. She immediately called police after he left.
Olsen allegedly raped, stangled, and physically assaulted the woman at her residence, where she lives along with her two young children.
The woman was transported by police to York Hospital where she is currently being treated.
The children, who were not injured while Olsen was at the residence, have since been relocated to a safe destination.
A spokesman at the Knox County Jail said Olsen was being held without bail Wednesday on a slew of charges. Those charges include attempted murder, burglary, gross sexual assault, and reckless conduct.
A spokeswoman at the Knox County Court said an arraignment date had not yet been scheduled for Olsen as of Wednesday evening.
On April 12, 2010, Olsen was charged in Eliot with domestic violence assault involving the same victim. On April 21, he was charged with violating a restraining order.
That restraining order had recently expired.

An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism.

KYOTO, Japan (Nov. 20, 2013) – The U.S. Men's National Team gave itself chances to win but didn't convert on its opportunities and fell to Brazil, 31-29, 25-23, 25-23 on Wednesday at the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup at the Kyoto Prefectural Gymnasium.
|Max Holt hits the ball past Brazil's block on Wednesday in Kyoto.
The U.S. Men (1-1) and the other Grand Champions Cup teams will get Thursday off and resume competition on Friday when the United States will play Italy (1-1) at 12:10 p.m. local time (7:10 p.m. PT on Thursday in the United States).
The United States had many great moments, but they didn't add up to victory. The U.S. Men held two set points in the first set, but Brazil came back for the win. The U.S. Men also let go of a five-point lead in the second set. In both the second and third sets, the U.S. Men led 23-22, but allowed Brazil to score the final three points of the set and the match.

"It was one of those matches where you almost feel better when the other team just crushes you," U.S. Team Captain Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) said. "Because we know right away the little things we could have done to make that a better game and turn things in our favor.
"It's one of those matches where, if you could, if it wouldn't hurt you, you'd want to go start practicing right away."
The teams tied in kills (43-43) and the U.S. led in aces (5-3). Brazil led in blocks (10-6) and scored 25 points on U.S. errors while committing 21. Sixteen of the U.S. errors came on serves.
U.S. Head Coach John Speraw (Los Angeles) noted that both teams played with great emotion.
"I thought the whole match was fairly heated," he said. "What it came down to is Brazil executed more from the service line and their transition swing opportunities."
The teams tied in kills (43-43) and the U.S. led in aces (5-3). Brazil led in blocks (10-6) and scored 25 points on U.S. errors while committing 21.
Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.), who started at opposite, led all scorers with 17 points on a match-high 13 kills, a match-high three blocks and one ace. Rooney, at outside hitter, added 10 points on 10 kills and outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) had 10 points on nine attacks and one ace.
Middle blocker Max Holt (Cincinnati) added eight points on five kills, two blocks and one ace. Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored four points on three kills and one block. Setter Micah Christenson (Honolulu) totaled four points on three setter dumps and an ace. He was credited with 22 running sets and set the U.S. Men to a 43.4 kill percent.
Kawika Shoji (Honolulu), who played as a serving substitute, scored one point on an ace. Libero Erik Shoji (Honolulu) was credited with 10 excellent receptions and four digs. Christenson led the U.S. in digs with 10 and Anderson added six.
Brazil Head Coach Bernardo Rezende said the U.S. Men had improved since his team had played them in World League in July.
"Looking at the Olympic cycle, that's always a great opponent," Rezende said. "Speraw is doing a great job as we knew he would. It's one of the teams we have to focus on."
Brazil took a 6-3 lead to open the first set and led until 22-20, when Rooney scored with a kill and serving substitute Kawika Shoji followed with an ace to tie the score. Brazil took the first set point at 24-22, but an Anderson kill and ace tied the score again. Anderson fought off another set point with a kill before Priddy gave the U.S. its first set point at 26-25 with a kill off an overpass. The U.S. had its second set point at 29-28 on another Priddy kill. Two straight kill from De Souza gave Brazil set point at 30-29 and Brazil got the victory with a final attack.
The second set stayed close until it was 9-9. The U.S. scored on a Brazil error and Priddy kill to lead by two and built the lead up to five at 17-12. But with the U.S. leading 19-15, Brazil went on a 5-1 scoring run to tie the set at 20-20. With the score still tied 22-22, Rooney got a kill to give the U.S. the lead. But the United States' next serve went out of bounds and Brazil used a block and kill to win the set.
Brazil held a 22-20 lead in the third set when Rooney and Anderson scored on two straight attacks to tie the score. After a Brazil timeout, Anderson got another kill to give the U.S. the lead. But Brazil came back with two straight kills and a block to win the match.

We are entering a new chapter in Drake's history as we take steps toward creating a truly internationalized University—a place that embraces diversity, intercultural thinking, and expanded opportunities. Our name change to Drake International reflects the key role we play in this process throughout campus and in connecting the University to the world.
The work we do in Drake International affects more than just students. We touch all areas of campus as well as partner institutions and organizations in Greater Des Moines and around the world. Our office coordinates English as a Second Language programs, provides support to the more than 300 international students and scholars who come to campus each year, and sends Drake graduates to work abroad.
It's inspiring to see just how far we have come:
And yet, we see an even brighter future ahead. Internationalization efforts are underway on campus as we strive to infuse global learning into curricula and cocurricular offerings across campus. And we continue to strengthen our partnerships with institutions from Uganda and Mexico to China and France so that Drake may serve as a bridge to other cultures.
We invite you to explore our site and see just how you can become a more engaged global citizen and join this movement on campus.

UnNews:John McCain dazzles fundraiser with "Tribute to Phil Ochs"
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
29 October 2008
LANCASTER, Penn. -- Republican presidential nominee John McCain wowed a gathering of GOP donors Tuesday evening with a performance of songs by 1960s folksinger Phil Ochs.
"Phil believed in justice, equality, compassion, peace and absolute rationality in all our actions," said McCain, tuning his Gibson before launching into "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore," Ochs' anti-war anthem. "These are the values that are the bedrock of the Republican Party."
McCain's 90-minute acoustic set featured songs from the late activist's earlier, "singing-journalist" period as well as his selections from Ochs' later, more introspective work. The 72-year-old naval veteran performed solo for most of the set, but was joined on stage by Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman for "Cops of the World," Ochs' indictment of U.S. military adventurism.
"Here's a kick in the ass, boy, here's a kick in the ass," the senators sang, to the delight of those attendance. "We'll knock down your doors, we won't bother to knock, we've done it before, so why all the shock?"
The $1,000-a-plate audience also cheered McCain's harsh criticism of the military-industrial complex and his tender reading of "There But For Fortune."
"I've seen some fantastic performances," said Tom Pierzinksi, a 52-year-old contractor from Hershey. "Baez, Paxton, Huckabee -- but nobody, and I mean nobody, moves you the way Ochs or McCain do."
Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin opened for McCain, playing a selection of Buffy St. Marie songs on the dulcimer.
The folk community is a vital constituency in the Republican Party, and candidates fought hard for their votes throughout the primary season. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won many over with his tear-jerking rendition of "Boots of Spanish Leather" at the Iowa straw poll in 2007, but lost ground for perceived flip-flops and for going electric shortly before the South Carolina primary.
McCain, though vastly outspent by his opponents, stuck to a simple message of national preparedness and social revolution in town halls and coffee houses around Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Voters were attracted to that message and his stories of bar-hopping with Dave Van Ronk.
"McCain's strength was his simplicity," said Roberta Adelson, a political science professor at New York University who performed at the Newport Folk Festival last summer. "As he likes to say, 'A political campaign is so specific that you can not mistake it for bullshit."
McCain and Palin will travel to Norfolk, Va. Wednesday, where they will play the entirety of Ochs' "Pleasures of the Harbor" with Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama will be in Charlotte, N.C. with the Temptations, while Kissimee, Fla. will be visited by Joe Biden and the Funky Bunch.
