Starting at $19,795 | Starting at 21 MPG City - 30 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Largely unchanged for 2013 (except for the removal of the SXT plus trim level), the 2012 Dodge Avenger is a mid-size sedan that utilizes a FWD front engine layout and offers seating for five. The base Avenger is powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 173 hp. Upgrading to the SXT, and R/T trim grants the driver a 3.6-liter V6 engine that yields 283 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a standard 4-speed automatic and optional 6-speed automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 19 mpg city and 31�mpg highway. Features include ambient LED lighting, automatic temperature control, 8-way power seat, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The R/T trim offers upgraded 18-inch wheels, remote start, hands-free phone connectivity, sport tuned suspension, performance tuned steering, and z-striped cloth with leather accents. Safety is comprised of front airbags, side airbags, side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and traction control (TCS). The Avenger is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
For a mid-sized sedan, the Avenger stands out in two ways: aggressive and sporty styling, borrowed from the Dodge Charger, and fuel economy, for which it is rated up to 30 mpg on the highway. The Avenger's interior features nice materials and is quieter than in years past and its upgraded styling and quality makes it a viable alternative in a crowded small car market.
For 2013 Dodge has left the Avenger mostly unaltered. The SXT plus model has been cut, however the standard SXT remains, even managing to pick up some extra features--it now comes standard with fully automatic headlights and fog lamps.
For 2013, the Avenger is available in three trim levels: SE, SXT and R/T. The standard engine on all but the R/T is 2.4L 173-hp 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission on the SE and a 6-speed auto on the SXT and R/T. Chrysler's 3.6L Pentastar V6, which makes 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque is standard on the R/T and optional on the SE and SXT. It comes mated to a 6-speed automatic.

WINTER PARK, Fla. (July 11, 2012) - The Rollins softball team will host its annual Showcase in the fall; it was announced by Head Coach Michelle Frew. This fall, there will be two dates for participants to choose from, Saturday, September 15th or Sunday, September 16th.
The Showcase is designed for any 9-12 graders who have an interest in adding to their competitive experience. Participants will be involved in various skill workouts facilitated by the Rollins softball players and coaching staff, and then will have the opportunity to showcase their skills during live games scheduled throughout the day. Showcase participants will be led by Rollins players and coaches at the Rollins Softball Stadium at Lake Island Park, one of the best collegiate softball facilities in the South Region. Players and their families will also take a guided tour of the Rollins campus with admissions staff. This event does fill up and people have been turned away the past three years. Eleven current Rollins players have participated in this event in the past.
Rollins established itself as one of the nation's premier softball programs having captured three of the last four Sunshine State Conference Championships. Since their championship run began, the Tars are a combined 180-31 overall, while also posting an 82-13 record in conference play. The Tars have averaged 40+ wins for the past eleven years and has been ranked in the national top 25 every week since March 2010. The success has translated to six consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament, which is the longest such streak among all Florida teams.

Google Nexus S Review
The Google Nexus S: is it the best mobile phone ever released, or is it simply a re-branded version of the Samsung Galaxy S? Well, quite possibly yes, and yes. Let us explain. On the face of it, the Nexus S is simply a Samsung Galaxy S with one or two modifications. The phone is made by Samsung, and it shares almost all the features of the Galaxy S. So, it's an Android smartphone with access to 100,000 apps. It's powered by a superfast 1GHz Hummingbird processor plus a dedicated GPU and 16GB of built-in memory. It has a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and 720 x 480 pixels at 30fps video recording. It has GPS with Google Maps. It has a superfast internet connection with download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. It shares all these things with the Galaxy S. But in addition it has the latest release of Android (Gingerbread). The main camera has a flash too. So it's correct to say that the Nexus S and Galaxy S are very similar phones. But it's also correct to say that the Nexus S is probably the best mobile phone ever released. Why? Because we described the Galaxy S as quite possibly the best phone on the market today, and that if it had a flash on its camera it would be perfect. And so we're prepared to stick our neck out and say that the Google Nexus S is (very, very nearly) the perfect phone. Let's take a look at the operating system first. The Nexus S is the first phone to carry Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Android was already a mature OS, but Gingerbread pushes the limits of what a smartphone can be, and takes us neatly into the world of the future, i.e. 2011. Android 2.3 is faster than previous releases (most operations have no visible lag whatsoever), and the user interface has been refreshed. There's an improved keyboard with multi-touch support, making typing faster, easier and more reliable. At mobile-phones-uk we're big fans of physical keyboards, but the functionality available here might even convert us! Copying and pasting is improved, with a new text selection tool. Other new features include enhanced VoIP communication, Wi-Fi hotspot support for up to six portable devices and Near Field Communication (NFC). NFC is an emerging technology that lets your phone read data from objects with NFC chips embedded in them. Have we mentioned that the Nexus S is fast? Let's say it again, because it really is. Gingerbread is noticeably lag-free when using the user interface, and the combination of a superfast 1GHz Hummingbird processor plus a dedicated GPU and 16GB of built-in memory makes everything run super-smoothly. This is a phone that is genuinely capable of multi-tasking, as well as seamless playback of videos, rendering of graphics-hungry web pages and game playing. In itself, this smoothness is a good reason to buy the phone. Let's also mention the battery life, because with a 1500mAh lithium ion battery, this is the best performance you can reasonably expect from a smartphone. It may not last as long as your circa-2000 Nokia, but it will easily power the phone for a heavy day's use. One of the outstanding features that the Nexus S has in common with the Galaxy S is its Super AMOLED display. At 4 inches across and with 480 x 800 pixels, this is a brilliant screen for a smartphone. It isn't quite the biggest (see the HTC Desire HD), but the amazing clarity and brightness of Super AMOLED easily makes up for this. Tell your iPhone-brandishing friends that its screen is 30% bigger than theirs, and brighter too! The Galaxy S has one glaring omission, and that was a flash on the camera. The Nexus S has a 5 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, plus 720 x 480 pixels video recording. It also has an additional front-facing camera that can take stills or shoot video in VGA resolution. Other features of the Nexus S include a digital music player, assisted GPS with Google Maps 5.0 with Navigation and web browsing. The device comes pre-installed with Google apps such as Google Search, Google Maps 5.0 with Navigation (free turn-by-turn GPS voice guidance), Places (info about restaurants, places of interest, etc), Latitude, Mobile Instant, Gmail and Google Earth. Being a Google phone, the Nexus S will automatically update software over the air as it becomes available. Web browsing is fantastic and there's a YouTube app for watching videos. Facebook and Twitter are there of course, and integrate nicely with your Contacts. Just remember that this is a pure Android phone, lacking the refinements that manufacturers like Samsung and HTC layer on top of the raw operating system. But again, for many this could be its unique selling point, offering a purist experience without any baggage. You can always download an app for anything that's missing. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with enhanced data rate, micro USB and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Hey - did we mention that the Nexus S looks stunning? We were so busy being impressed by what it does, we forgot to tell you about its drop-dead looks! Whereas the first Google phone (the Nexus One) was a bit of a dog, the Nexus S is a supermodel by comparison. It has a gorgeously smooth glossy surface, with hardly any surface blemishes and a specially designed Contour Display with curved glass. The Contour Display is a gimmick for sure, but it adds to the smooth looks and tactile finish of the phone. Yes, we want to touch it, hold it, caress it. In fact we just want it, and you probably will too. Is it the perfect phone? Well, it's not as nice in build as the iPhone 4, being slightly plasticky at the back, and it lacks a microSD card slot. But 16GB is surely enough memory? You can always find something to be picky about. The bottom line is that no phone is ever 100% perfect, but the Nexus S is so close that it deserves to be called the best. Update (November 2012): The new Google Nexus 4 takes over as flagship Nexus phone. Features of the Google Nexus S include:

It's a coffe cup so I actually use it for *gasp* coffee. I like that it holds more than a standard coffee cup. The construction is on par with cups that have lasted me for years and there are no rough spots or flaws. The graphics are in line and smooth. It looks great, works great and I'll be using it for years.

Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
Comparing these three Nikon stable-mates makes for interesting reading. Of the three, the Nikon 1 V2 puts in the lowest performance in all areas with the exception of the sports rating for low-light ISO. Looking at the Colour Depth score, the Nikon 1 V2 shows 2/3rd of a stop less performance (20.2bits to 21.3bits). This is caused by the difference in ISO latitude – the Nikon 1 V2 has an ISO range that runs from 160 to 6400, whereas the 1 J2 and 1 V1 both run from 100 to 6400.
Comparing the Nikon 1 V2 to the Panasonic GF5 and Finepix X10 shows how it stacks up against similar competition. All three cameras achieve an overall DxOMark score of 50, though they achieve their scores in subtly different ways and the 1 V2 does also offer an extra 2megapixels of resolution.
In terms of colour depth, there is little to choose between them, with the GF5 and X10 both scoring 20.5bits to the 1 V2's 20.2bits. This difference is sufficiently minimal to unobservable in final prints.
In Dynamic Range though, the X10 shows how well suited it is to landscape photography, when compared to the other two, scoring 11.3Evs. The 1 V2 sits in the middle at 10.8Evs, whereas the GF5 only manages 10Evs. It is worth noting that the Dynamic Range score is the only major weak point with the Panasonic sensor in the GF5.
Looking at the low-light results though, the X10 shows that it is not really designed for low-light shooting, only managing a score of 245ISO. This is ½ stop behind the Nikon 1 V2 at 403ISO and a stop behind the GF5 that performs better here, scoring 573ISO which is, to a large degree, thanks to its larger sensor.
In this company, the 1 V2 finds itself somewhere in the middle when considering all three testing metrics. While the X10 is clearly aimed at landscape photography and the GF5 is more suited to low light shooting, the 1 V2 doesn't standout in one area but produces a balanced performance that's not skewed to any one type of photography.

Nikon 1 V2: Evolution, stasis or regression?
The review misses the whole point of this camera. The V2 has a huge attraction, by using the FT-1 Mount Adapter it is possible to mount pretty much any Nikon DSLR lens. Taking into account the dslr like autofocus and the X2.7 crop factor the excellent Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (around £330) becomes a 190-810mm lens, just great for birds and wildlife.
The lens, FT-1 and camera would weigh around 1100gr and cost $1300ish (but will come down). An APS-C camera with similar spec would weigh close to 5000gr & cost $9000ish. Sure, its a fact that the resolution of the APC-S camera would be superior, but would it be 3900gr & $7700 superior? Reply |

Gotta' give them credit
You gotta' give Nikon credit; it's a dead-end product, but they are doubling down, which is commendable service to those who bought into the system.

Re: Gotta' give them credit
I usually don't feed the trolls, but how a camera with solid IQ, and blazing fast AF, and a huge buffer (capable of 12 fps with the J1 and 16 fps with the V1) a dead-end?
So Nikon with it's first try made a camera with a smaller sensor that is competitive with many larger sensor cameras like the EP3, and absolutely demolishes the competition when it comes to processing data, fps, PDAF on the sensor, etc. The Nikon 1 sounds alive and well to me. Few will lose sleep over it over your dislike of the Nikon 1 and tons of people will continue to buy it. Nice try though. Reply |

Testimony ends in case of Highland Township man accused of murdering mother
A jury will begin deciding Jeffrey Pyne's fate later this week after testimony concluded Wednesday in his murder trial.
Pyne is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother, Ruth Pyne, 51.
Oakland County Chief Medical Examiner L.J. Dragovic was the final witness to testify in the case, describing in more detail the injuries that Ruth Pyne suffered on May 27, 2011, as well as the blisters on Jeffrey Pyne's hands.
"This is a picture of a passionate killer," Dragovic said while speaking about Ruth Pyne's injuries. She was struck several times with a blunt object and was stabbed 16 times, Dragovic said.
Dragovic also went into details about blisters on Jeffrey Pyne's hands. Jeffrey Pyne said he suffered the injuries when he was moving a pallet at work, but Dragovic doubts that story.
"It's not likely that those injuries would have been caused by a simple moving of the pallet," he said.
Read more from our archives of the Pyne Trial
"The blisters present (on) both hands would be an unlikely situation for one-time contact unless the hands were grabbing or touching in a symmetrical fashion a hot object, which doesn't appear in this case."
Dragovic said it is possible that the blisters were caused by the same object that caused at least some of Ruth Pyne's head injuries.
When Dragovic was called to the stand, defense attorney James Champion objected that Dragovic's testimony would be "needlessly cumulative," but Oakland County Circuit Judge Leo Bowman overruled him. Continued...
Champion objected three more times while Dragovic was being questioned by Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor John Skrzynski, leading to a cross-examination exchange that was tense at times.
Dragovic said Ruth Pyne's death was overkill and said "the assailant was highly emotionally charged."
Champion then asked whether a "stone cold killer" could have committed the crime.
"That doesn't make any sense, actually," Dragovic said.
"If someone doesn't have any emotions — if someone is there just for the purpose to render someone dead, they are going to do it in the easiest possible way. They are not going to stab someone 16 times in the neck. Whenever I observe this type of injury pattern, it is tied into a highly emotionally-charged situation, into extreme passion."
Earlier, Dragovic said a two-by-four could have been used for some of the injuries to Ruth Pyne's head. Champion asked if those injuries could have also been caused by a pipe wrench, tire iron or car jack.
"You're stretching it," Dragovic said.
"I'm familiar with tire irons and car jacks, but (those items are) not providing the pattern that would likely be comparable (to Ruth Pyne's injuries)."
Champion's final line of questioning concerned whether the knife used to stab Ruth Pyne would have become slippery as blood spurted out of her neck.
Dragovic did not directly answer the question, and Champion appeared to grow frustrated. He withdrew his question, and Dragovic was allowed to step down. Continued...
The prosecution was then granted a motion to strike the remainder of their witnesses. The defense had the option to question any of those witnesses, but they also rested their case.
Ruth Pyne's husband and Jeffrey Pyne's father, Bernie Pyne, was on the list, but will not testify.
With the jury out of the room, Champion requested a directed verdict of not guilty, arguing that the prosecution did not have any evidence tying Jeffrey Pyne to Ruth Pyne's death.
"There is not one bit of physical evidence, not one individual who can identify that Jeffrey was home when she was murdered," Champion said.
"It's a very serious charge. It's a very emotionally wrapped case. The jury's going to want to find somebody responsible, yet there is no tie to my client whatsoever.
"I think this is where the court needs to step in, your honor, and say 'This can't go on any further.' An injustice would be done if this case was sent to this jury and they came back with a verdict of guilty."
Skrzynski responded by describing the facts in the case, as well as speaking about Pyne's motivation (his "intolerable" situation at home with his bipolar mother) and a theory about where he was after the homicide and before he arrived for work that day (hiding the murder weapon in a wooded area).
Bowman agreed that a reasonable jury could find without reasonable doubt that Jeffrey Pyne killed his mother.
The trial was initially scheduled to resume at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, but jurors will not report until 1:30 p.m. in order to allow both sides to prepare for closing arguments.

1. | Christmas | ||
The celebration of the birth of commercialism... Oh yea, and Jesus. I'm gonna set up traps to kill Santa.
christmas images | |||
2. | christmas | ||
A celebration of humanity dating back thousands of years. It originated as a pagan celebration of the birth of the Sun, as it was celebrated on the winter equinox, and after that point, days got longer. When the Catholics/ Christians took over these pagan peoples, they replaced their holiday with their own Birth of the Son, (as in of God) to make the transition to Christianity's traditions easier. The idea of Santa Claus and his reindeer was created in the 1800s, and is loosely based on St. Nicholas, who gave random presents to people. The idea of a christmas tree dates back to German celebrations of Christmas thousands of years ago. They used an evergreen tree to symbolize life and hope in dark times, and hung apples on it. In modern times, it has again lost its religious meaning and is now used as a time of secular "joy." People spend the time with their family or friends and exchange gifts, a tradition from the Birth of Jesus. (As it is the birthday of the Lord, and people can't give Him material gifts, they exchange them with others.) Christmas happens every year, whether we like it or not.
3. | Christmas | ||
A holiday that originally was supposed to be for the birth of Christ, but after all these years, its just nothing but commercials, sales, and stress. What does a fat guy who hauls gifts down into your lifing room, and then flies away on a sleigh have to do with Jesus Christ? Jack squat. Half the people who celebrate Christmas aren't even celebrating Jesus' birthday.
4. | christmas | ||
A time of increased consumer spending. "We've got everything you need for Christmas"
"Give her that perfect gift for Christmas" |
5. | christmas | ||
60 yr olds+ : "oh no. the family is coming over for lunch. i have to put up with their whingging and mess."
50 yr olds + :"christmas is so stressful - where am i going to come up with all the money for presents?!" 40 yr olds + (mid-life-crisis-era)+ :"christmas means big meals. it also means the time of year one adds more inches to thier middle" 30 yr olds + (starting-family-era)+ :" christmas is seeing the look of joy on my child face, christmas morning. its better to give than recieve" from 20 yr old (lonely-depressive-bacholor-era)"christmas is all about santa who was invented by the coke-a-cola company to make millions of the stupid. christmas is a gimmick. its the one day a year i have to go to church" teenagers (i-know-everything-era): "christmas is meant to celebrate the birth of Christ, its a catholic tradition shared all over the world, even though jesus' birthday isnt acctually on the 25th..." young children every where: "i love christmas cos santa comes and gives me what ever i want, but its yucky waiting to open the presents. its ok coz i peek every year at them." it was as if all her christmas's had come at once
6. | Christmas | ||
A celebration that happens every December. The Bible mentions no scripture about celebrating this day, nor does it even show the true date of Jesus Christ's birth.
A great chance for every stock market and major department stores to make the cash. There's no scripture in the Bible that tells people to celebrate Christmas day, nor does it even mention the real date Jesus was born in.
7. | christmas | ||
Proof that we live in a major consumer culture. Christmas is when we would rather buy something for someone than actually say 'thanks for being my friend'

April 1 - August 31: Big Bugs at Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania
Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, 100 E. Northwestern Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118
On April 1st, visitors to the Morris Arboretum may think nature is playing an April Fool's joke on them as Big Bugs spring to life all over the Arboretum's 92-acre garden.

Imagine a 16-foot 1200 pound praying mantis, a parade of 25-foot long ants, a dragonfly with a wingspan of 17 feet, or a 4-foot spider spinning a 15-foot web, to name just a few of the Big Bugs. Morris Arboretum will host 11 Big Bugs installed throughout the Arboretum's garden from April 1st through August 31st, plus lots of bug-themed events scheduled throughout the run of the display. Visit www.morrisarboretum.org for updates and more details.

Expanded in the 2011, this "hoop house" is filled with plants that feed and shelter butterflies and larvae native to New Jersey. The enclosed conditions allow visitors to take an up close look at these showy insects and learn more about their host plants and how to attract them to the home garden. Interested children will be armed with nets and invited to capture more butterflies for the house. There is no charge, unless you wish to make a donation.
June 1: Beneficial Insects in the Garden
EARTH Center, in Davidson's Mill Pond Park, 42 Riva Avenue, North Brunswick, NJ 08902
In this lecture attendees will get an idea of which insects are helping them in the garden by preying on insects harmful to desirable plants. Learn how to attract "beneficials" to your garden and reduce pesticide use in your home landscape. The recognition and use of beneficial insects for pest control is one key concept in the practice of "Integrated Pest Management" or IPM. There is a $15 donation requested for registration to this workshop.

you have to catch that . . . hopefully the defense can get a turnover here!!
you have to catch that . . . hopefully the defense can get a turnover here!!
I think the pass game is dying a bit because they are not committing to Morris. They rode Morris to the win over Dallas. I don't get the lack of running. Especially with an injured RG3
I know Robert wants to play... it's in his nature, he'd be out there in a wheelchair if they let him... But you gotta make the call.
I'd love to win this game on the ground, but Seattle won't let us. They see Griffin is ailing and inaccurate. They're going to focus on shutting down Morris and force Washington to throw.
Like it or not, our rookie QB is going to have to make a play with his arm if Washington is going to win this game.
Lynch is killing us on his cutbacks. Man, that guy is good. Seahawks certainly look like the better team right now.

CSO HRW Forced begging of Talibes in Senegal
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
At least 50,000 children attending hundreds of residential Quranic schools, or daaras, in Senegal are subjected to conditions akin to slavery and forced to endure often extreme forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation by the teachers, or marabouts, who serve as their de facto guardians. By no means do all Quranic schools run such regimes, but many marabouts force the children, known as talibés, to beg on the streets for long hours-a practice that meets the International Labour Organization's (ILO) definition of a worst form of child labor-and subject them to often brutal physical and psychological abuse. The marabouts are also grossly negligent in fulfilling the children's basic needs, including food, shelter, and healthcare, despite adequate resources in most urban daaras, brought in primarily by the children themselves.More information about human trafficking on the website of HRW.

eLocal announces The Eliminate Project as the winner of its "Save the World" charity contest.
Conshohocken, PA (PRWEB) January 22, 2013
On Monday, January 21st, eLocal.com, a national search site for connecting consumers with local businesses, announced The Eliminate Project as the winner of its "Save the World" charity giveaway contest. The contest, which ran from late November until December 21, 2012, encouraged people to vote for their favorite charities through eLocal's Facebook and Twitter pages. As the winner, the Eliminate Project will receive a $1,000 donation from eLocal. The money will be used to help the charity achieve its goal of eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. According to charity administrators, eLocal's donation of $1,000 will save or protect over 550 lives.
eLocal's "Save the World" campaign centered around a 3-part video series that spoofed on the idea of the Mayan calendar's "End of the World" set to occur on December 21, 2012. The videos parodied end of the world style disasters with cartoon ninjas, whales and wacky waving inflatable tubemen. Viewers were then encouraged to either donate to one of eLocal's charity partners (Urban Farming, Earthworks, and Clean Water Fund) or nominate a charity of their choice to win $1,000. The Eliminate Project emerged as the winner amongst many great local, national, and international charities that were nominated. eLocal is still encouraging people to post their own ideas on how to "Save the World" at facebook.com/elocal and twitter.com/elocal.

Berglern, Germany + Add a trip

Q&A for Munich
Dopplr asks "Where's good to eat in Munich?"Thomas: Korean near university…
Dopplr asks "What's the best thing for visitors to do at the weekend?"
Dopplr asks "What's good to explore in Munich?"Darth: Pusser's Cocktailbar…
Dopplr asks "What is the best local market or shopping?"
Dopplr asks "Where do you like to stay?"
Getting There
With the excellent public transport network, a car is unnecessary.
Franz-Josef-Strauss airport in 25 miles north of the city with regular flights by national carriers and budget airlines. The €10 airport bus is the best way into town (www.autobusoberbayern.de); the S-Bahn train stops at every station taking seemingly forever, and taxis are around the €60 mark.
The extensive S-Bahn (overland) and U-Bahn (underground) systems work like clockwork, as do the strassenbahn (trams) and buses. International trains arrive at the centrally located main train station.
Local Knowledge
Country code for Germany: 49. Munich: 89.
The White Rose: Munich, 1942-1943 by Inge Scholl & Dorothee Soelle.
Do go / Don't Go
Winters can be long and hard but whilst it is definitely busy in the summer, nothing beats a cold bier in the shade of a chestnut tree under the blue and white Bavarian sky. The Oktoberfest is hectic with hotels and flights overpriced and fully-booked, but it's still a memorable (or perhaps slightly hazy) event (www.oktoberfest.de).
Munich is justly proud of its wurst and bier culture. A traditional Bavarian meal is weisswurst und brez'n, white veal sausages served with a pretzel and sweet grain mustard. Local menus are packed with all manner of pork dishes served with dumplings and sauerkraut, followed by countless variations of strudels, and weissbier (wheat beer). There are plenty of less weighty international influences, too. Muncheners like to think of themselves as living in the most northerly of Italian cities. Local dry Riesling and Spätburgunder wines are eminently quaffable as well.
The best place to find a cab is at one of the many taxi ranks but if you do see one for hire, just hail it down; they should stop unless they're a stone's throw from a rank. There is an extra charge for luggage but prices are reasonable.
Service is included in restaurant bills so tipping is not expected, particularly in the more traditional places. Most Muncheners just round things up to the nearest euro, but we suggest a more generous ten per cent is the norm for good service.
Bring plenty of cash; surprisingly few places accept credit cards. Pack something smart to wear as Muncheners like to show off a little when they are out.
Worth Doing
Munich is a city that punches above its weight in terms of museums and galleries. The leading light is the Pinakothek gallery with exhibitions on architecture, works on paper (including sketches by Van Gogh) and modern art including Warhols and Picassos (www.pinakothek-der-moderne.de). An architectural tour of Munich should start with Herzog & Demueron's UFO-like football stadium, the Allianz Arena - you could even take in a Bayern Munich match. A walk down the neo-Renaissance facades of Leopold Strasse leads you to the Gothic splendour of the Rathaus (City Hall).
Stroll south along the grassy banks of the river Isar towards the zoo and watch the Muncheners at play. You might just pass a biergarten or two on the way.
Munich has its very own 'Prada Street', otherwise known as Maximilianstrasse. In Glockenbachviertel find one-off, hand-made men's and women's fashions by Clara Niggl or Michael Wagner and a great line in handbags by Florence Mucret. For everything from home wares to food stuffs and toiletries, Manufactum in the Fünf Höfe shopping centre sells top quality kit in modern surroundings (www.manufactum.com). Schumann's Bar Am Hofgarten in the same complex is a stylish place for a shopping pit stop.
On a clear day you can see the Alps from the Olympiapark tower. Alternatively, walk to the top of the nearby hill also in the Olympiapark for a similar view without the queues (www.olympiapark-muenchen.de). There's a wonderful vista over the city centre from the Alter Peter tower in the Rindermarkt.
The bridge overlooking the Eisbach offers a grandstand view of the city's surfers riding a 'permanent' wave on this fast flowing river. Even on a winter night these guys are out there, fully suited and booted in neoprene.
1 May Many local communities run up a maypole as part of traditional festivities on the May Day. Mid June The Tollwood Festival at the Olympiapark focuses on food, music and local crafts (www.tollwood.de). July Mediaeval jousting is re-enacted at the Kaltenberg castle to the west of Munich. September Part of the cultural heritage of Bavaria, the Oktoberfest is worth experiencing, even if only once. December For Christmas novelties, tree decorations and anything and everything covered or made from chocolate, visit the Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market). Most neighbourhoods have their own but the most popular is the one in Marienplatz in front of the city hall. Warm yourself with a gluwein as you wander.

Line of Credit
In 2012, National Cooperative Bank (NCB) reported a banner year in lending activity for its cooperative housing division, providing $962 million in building finance for 511 properties nationwide. These communities used the funds for needs ranging from refinancing existing debt to undertaking capital improvements. One cooperative, St. Francis Square Cooperative, Inc located in San Francisco, CA opted to reduce their carbon footprint and implement a new solar power electric system. For the Bank, arranging loans that supports the 'greening' of cooperatives furthers its mandate to be a socially-responsible institution dedicated to making a positive impact on the communities it serves.
National Cooperative Bank (NCB) provides comprehensive banking services to cooperatives and other member-owned organizations throughout the country. What makes NCB unique is that the bank was created to address the financial needs of an underserved market niche – people who join together cooperatively to meet personal, social or business needs, especially in low-income communities.

The 13-year-old's remarkable ingenuity has been recognized with an invitation to the TED 2013 conference, being held this week in California, where he'll share the stage with some of the world's greatest thinkers, innovators and scientists.
"I did it myself, no one taught me, I just came up with it," says Turere. "I had to look after my dad's cows and make sure that they were safe."
Human-wildlife conflict
Nairobi is the world's only capital with a national park, where wild lions, rhinos and other beasts roam free against the urban backdrop of skyscrapers rising from the nearby bustling city center.
Each year, thousands of camera-toting tourists visit the park -- which is fenced along its northern boundary but open in the south -- hoping to catch a glimpse of the lions inhabiting its rolling plains and valleys.
But for the pastoralists and Maasai tribes around the park, a lion sighting is usually bad news; valuable livestock are often lost to lions looking for easy prey, prompting rural communities to take matters into their own hands.
In some cases they've killed whole prides that they perceived as threat, or as retaliation for lost livestock. The use of pesticides such as Furadan -- a tablespoon of which costs less than a dollar and is enough to kill a lion -- has become a particularly ruthless way of doing so.
The rising human-wildlife conflict, coupled with a fast-growing urban encroachment, means that Kenya is now home to less than 2,000 lions, a massive drop compared to the 15,000 that lived there just a decade ago.
Large sums have been spent in recent years by officials in a bid to protect the lions and strengthen Kenya's tourism industry. Yet conservationists say that many of these top-down initiatives fail to gain traction with local populations. And this is why inventions like Turere's -- home grown, simple, affordable and effective -- can make a big difference.
Indeed, several neighbors of the Turere family in Kitengela have sought Turere's help, asking him to install the system in their enclosures. In total, around 75 "Lion Light" systems have so far been rigged up around Kenya.

R-mum tells Manga
Manga comes to life… thanks to R-mum, the amateur webseries which show you Manga in a different way!!!
© R-mum
R-mum is a webseries which shows Manga in a quite particular way… Manga no sama, an outstanding narrator, invites the audience inside the frames of Manga! Black and white, frame cutting, speech balloons, onomatopoeia… all the elements are brought together in this series set midway between live movie and animation.
© R-mum
This animated series is varied, telling both Manga classics such as City Hunter, Captain Tsubasa or Hokuto no ken, but also contemporary works such as Death Note or GTO.
The aim is to make people discover forgotten or less famous Manga like Highschool! Kimengumi, Maison Ikkoku, Yu Yu hakusho or Distant Neighborhood, while remaining faithful to the original work… which doesn't prevent originality!
© R-mum
One thing leading to another, the webseries, which started with pretty much nothing, kept on getting better to achieve a good level in rhythm, quality and direction, each episode trying to be better than the previous one.
To better understand the concept and follow the evolution of R-mum, have a look at the official website and discover the animated series, Manga no sama and all the episodes, as well as bonuses. You can also watch this trailer:
During the festival
At Japan Expo, discover episodes of R-mum along with the original Manga.

The innovative modular concept permits the configuration of labelling systems from a wide range of standard modules. The client's requirements, features of the product to be labelled and the desired labelling capacity determine the system composition. In this way customized systems can be economically built and adapted to new requirements at any time.
Base frame
Subsequent extension of the base frame.
PAGO System L200 with protective enclosure and external unwinding
The modularity of the system concept begins already with the base frame. The vibration-proof and torsionally rigid stainless steel structure provides a solid foundation for all the modular assemblies and guarantees totally precise and reliable labelling results. On request, machines can be supplied with a complete protective enclosure which satisfies all the requirements of the EU machine protection directives. Doors at the front and back, together with swivelling control panels, facilitate maintenance and cleaning and permit shorter setup times.
The labelling system base frame can be dimensioned to suit the client's needs. The combination of different length and width variants permits the choice of the best system size for every labelling task. Subsequent extension of the base frame to take further add-on modules is also possible.
The widest range of extension and add-on modules enables all kinds of different products and package shapes to be handled. Depending on the product, the labelling requirements and desired performance, various modules are used for product transport and also for product separation and alignment.
In the labelling process additional product marking and customized handling of the label reels may be a requirement. A wide range of modules is available for custom-made, application-specific and performance-related labelling systems.
For full accuracy, complete or partial wrap-around labelling of cylindrical products requires specific extension modules for precise product handling during the labelling process. The new Pago modular linear labelling system concept offers several different ways of labelling cylindrical products.
A range of machine control variants and operating concepts are available as further expansion modules. They permit individual configuration of the labelling system for machine operation and for full integration into complete industrial lines. Additional label and process inspection modules are available to meet specific customer requirements.

When a Clandestine Nuclear Program Is Good News
The United States is selective about which states engaging in nuclear proliferation that it condemns. It's as if they're subject to an unwritten sanity or rationality index. Naturally, no U.S. allies that have developed nuclear weapons since the nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty came into force, such as Israel or India, score low on that index, however imaginary. Pakistan's rating, however, as it fails to pursue Islamic militants and with concerns arising about the security of its nuclear weapons program, is falling at a steady rate. Of course, North Korea, Iran, and Syria occupy the bottom of the index.
Meanwhile the leaders of another state are less questionable because of their sanity and rationality than because of a lack of concern for their people that's comparable to that of Kim Jong-il. Indications are that Burma is in the early stages of a nuclear-weapons program. Roland Watson runs the invaluable website Dictator Watch, devoted, for the most part, to activism on behalf of the people of Burma. In August of last year, he wrote (no link available):
In June, we published lists of 660 Burma military officers who in 2009 began masters or doctoral programs in Russia at fourteen different technical universities. [Of that class] 111 were directly assigned to the SPDC's nuclear project. … (Nuclear, Tunnel, Computer, etc.). … this is conclusive evidence that the SPDC has a clandestine nuclear program, and that it lied to the International Atomic Energy Agency when it said that it did not.
We have now received additional hard documentation about the nuclear program: A construction status report, building plan, and maps, of … Thabeikkyin … which is believed to be the center of the overall program. [The documents] describe a facility for upwards of five hundred personnel, but which also envisioned a potential ten-fold expansion. … Our initial intel about Thabeikkyin (also from 2006) said that there was a uranium milling facility associated with the operation, and which Jane's Intelligence has now prospectively identified. … We can also comment that the use of a secret mountain site for uranium enrichment parallels the actions of both Iran and North Korea.
Oddly enough, Watson sees benefits to not only discovering the nuclear program early -- well, five years on -- but to the actual existence of such a program. In fact, in his recent Ten-Year Review of Dictator Watch he explains why it might be good news that Burma has taken its first steps toward a nuclear weapons program. (Emphasis added.)
We and others had argued for years that the regime's brutality and its humanitarian consequences constitute an international threat to security and peace, and that the IC [International Community] therefore had an obligation to intervene, including under the United Nation's recognized Responsibility to Protect. All such arguments were derided by the regime's Security Council protectors, China and Russia.
Therefore, it was in a sense a huge break when we learned of the existence of the clandestine nuclear and missile programs. Surely, the International Community would respond to them.
Unfortunately, learning about the programs wasn't as helpful as it seemed in not only drawing attention to human rights abuses in Burma but in focusing attention on its nascent nukes. Watson:
I am certain that Western Intelligence, particularly U.S. Intelligence, knows a lot more as well [as Dictator Watch]. Under the provisions of the 2008 Tom Lantos JADE Act, the U.S. is required to disclose what it knows in the form of a Report on Military and Intelligence Aid.
But, Watson writes, "I guess I was naïve." The United States "refused to publish the report. We therefore filed a Freedom of Information Act request, in April 2010, which too has been ignored."
Why is the United States dragging its feet? Watson again.
It is ironic, to say the least, that for the lack of a little funding we cannot conclusively prove the existence of a major threat to world security. Of course, from the perspective of the West, this is a good thing. If we do ever get the goods on Burma's nuclear ambitions, a real smoking gun, it will be forced to respond.
Among other things, if the United States pressured Burma it would be at odd with India and China, both of which trade with Burma. Once again, a nascent nuclear-weapons program is used as an implement with which to bludgeon states when it serves our purpose such as Iran. But when dealing with it puts the United States at odds with states that it doesn't wish to alienate (further, in the case of China), it's all too willing to turn a blind eye to its nuclear program. Burma no doubt banks on that.

ANN ARBOR (AP) — Michigan's football program has 23 seniors who will go out as winners, a far cry from their first season.
"I wish I had been under this coaching staff for four years," Wolverines defensive tackle Will Campbell said.
Campbell came to campus during the Rich Rodriguez era and is finishing up under Brady Hoke. He and the other fourth-year players were one game under .500 during their first two seasons, but have gone a combined 18-5 this year and last.
The 23rd-ranked Wolverines (7-3, 5-1 Big Ten) hope to send the seniors out with a win against Iowa (4-6, 2-4) in their home finale Saturday.
Denard Robinson might not be on the field for a snap. The senior quarterback hasn't played for two-plus games because of nerve damage in his right elbow.
Hoke said he won't jeopardize his health just to let him play in his Big House finale.
"It won't have anything to do with it," Hoke said.
In relief of Robinson, junior Devin Gardner has played well. Gardner has thrown for 520 yards with four passing touchdowns and has three scores on the ground in two starts.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said his team has had to get ready for both Robinson and Gardner.
"It's two different preparations," he said. "And, both of them are tough preparations." Continued...
Robinson hasn't been available for interviews for weeks, but his teammates say he has stayed upbeat despite being stuck on the sideline toward the end of his spectacular career.
"He's a source of encouragement," guard Patrick Omahmeh said. "Whatever he can do for the team, it is what he's going to do. Everybody wants to go out the way they dream when you came to Michigan, but we can't always get that."
Michigan's fifth-year seniors saw a school-record nine losses up close in 2008 during Rodriguez's debut season. They have benefited from a coaching change that has worked out well for college football's winningest program. The Wolverines won 11 games last year and have a chance to win 10 games this year.
"We always knew we had good athletes and a lot of credit for that goes to coach Rod," senior safety Jordan Kovacs said. "But coach Hoke has taken advantage of our talent and has run with it."
Michigan, though, is desperately seeking the end to an eight-year drought without a Big Ten title.
To get into the conference championship game, the Wolverines need to beat Iowa and rival Ohio State and then hope Nebraska loses at home to Minnesota on Saturday or at Iowa next week.
Iowa has another scenario in mind.
After losing four straight for the first time since 2007 — the last time the Hawkeyes didn't end a season in a bowl game — they need to close the season with upsets against the Wolverines and Cornhuskers to be eligible for the postseason.
"I know our players are probably more disappointed and frustrated than anybody," Ferentz said.
Ferentz, though, said he's not fearing the possibility of ending the season with a six-game losing streak or worrying about the lasting impact this year has had on his proud program. Continued...
"I'll think about that stuff after the season," he said. "Right now, we're just trying to beat Michigan."
Lately, the Hawkeyes have been pretty good at that. They've won three straight for the first time in 100-plus year history of the series and five of the last eight games against the Wolverines.
Ferentz doesn't sound concerned about Michigan's motivation to send its seniors out with a win in their last game at the Big House.
"I'm sure it's a special thing, just like it will be here the week after," he said. "But I think that wears off pretty quickly once the game gets going."

For transportation updates
Amtrak (@Amtrak) is posting regular updates about limited or canceled Northeast Corridor train service. So are local transit services, such as New Jersey Transit (@NJ_TRANSIT) (which suspended all service Monday), and Greyhound (@GreyhoundBus), the bus line. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (@PANYNJ), which operates the New York City area's three major airports, also has an active and helpful account.
For air travelers, there does not appear to be a Twitter account that aggregates the status of flights across multiple airlines. But all the major airlines are tweeting updates about delayed or canceled flights.

Sabrosa Foods Inc. Company's Mission is to provide healthy all natural foods through flavorful alternative gourmet condiments
The Sabrosa Story: Duane Thompson's passion for salsa sparked in the mid-1990's after having a tough day. After the college football team he played for had a particularly awful game, Duane returned to his dorm room exhausted only to find that his friends had raided his fridge, including the bag of garden fresh vegetables his grandmother had delivered to him that morning. With the few vegetables and half a bag of tortilla chips he had left, Duane created his earliest version of Sabrosa salsa. Realizing that the snack he just created left him without any of the stomach troubles he experienced from other salsas, he made it his mission to tweak his recipe in search for the perfect salsa.
