How to Apply
All graduate theological education is challenging, no doubt. There are seemingly endless pages to read and scores of pages to write. But see what Phillips graduate B. Yuki Schwartz, a Ph.D. student at a Chicago area school, wrote of the support for meeting challenges at Phillips:
"Community at Phillips plays a huge part in understanding. We sit with and listen to one another, challenge, accept, push, and transform each other. I learned, both in the classroom and beyond that to be a person of faith is to be a person open to embracing relationships with others, by those who both challenge and accept us. Faith doesn't happen alone. We experience God with one another. I was changed, and truly became a person of faith in my time at Phillips."
At Phillips, you will be challenged by the work, the reading and writing, the depth of reflection. You will also experience a community in which the challenges can be successfully met.

Oil recovers to over $105 after earlier sharp fall
The price of oil recovered to trade above $105 a barrel Monday, having earlier fallen on the back of a sharp drop in Japan's Nikkei stock index.
By early afternoon in Europe, West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark for U.S. crude, was up 57 cents to $105.27 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 79 cents to close at $104.70 on Friday in New York.
Earlier in the session, the WTI traded as low as $103.87 as the benchmark index of Japan's stock market, the Nikkei 225, fell 2.5 percent due to the strengthening yen and worries about China's economy. However, a solid performance by European markets and an anticipated steady opening on Wall Street helped support oil prices.
Traders in all financial markets have a lot to digest this week. The main focus will be on whether the U.S. Federal Reserve will provide more clarity as to when it will start scaling back its monetary stimulus. The Fed has been buying $85 billion of financial assets a month in an attempt to keep long-term borrowing rates low and help shore up the U.S. economic recovery. A lot of that money has found its way flowing round financial markets and that's helped oil prices.
However, the program is widely expected to be scaled down later this year as the economy improves.
Oil prices have also swung to the tune of developments in China. Last week, they fell as China, a major energy consumer, decided to press ahead with painful economic restructuring and forgo another round of stimulus even though growth has slowed.
The price of oil broke above $100 on July 3 for the first time since May 2012, mostly due to falling U.S. crude stockpiles and increased interest from financial investors.
Brent crude, which is traded on the ICE Futures exchange in London, was up 64 cents to $107.81 a barrel.
Analysts noted the newly widening gap between Nymex and Brent. Over the past weeks, WTI had slashed off most of its $20 discount to Brent and even briefly traded higher that the London contract, partly on the back of four straight weeks of declining U.S. crude stockpiles. Now the gap again is above $2 in favor of Brent.
"It therefore appears as if the WTI bull-run is over for the moment," analysts at JBC Energy in Vienna said in a report. "Despite hefty stock draws, U.S. crude stocks remain well above the 5-year average."
Analysts at Commerzbank added said the Nymex contract had developed a "considerable potential for correction, which points to further price falls in the coming days."
In other trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 0.65 cent to $3.0098 a gallon.
— Heating oil added 2.15 cents to $3.0346 a gallon.
— Natural gas shed 8.6 cents to $3.469 per 1,000 cubic feet.

History Can Move in Two Directions at Once
My grandma's words have guided me
Benjamin Todd Jealous | 9/18/2013, 12:25 p.m.
In her simple way, my grandmother spoke volumes about our history and issued a subtle admonition for the path forward. She reminded us that we must be clear on both what we are fighting for, and how we will protect what we already have.
What are we fighting for? First and foremost, we are fighting for our children: for their futures to be robust, their equality to be affirmed and their lives to be protected. That is why the civil rights community lifts up education over incarceration, and economic liberation over discrimination.
What do we need to protect? If each of us has anything - even those of us who don't have a house, or a car, or a family to feed, or any earthly possessions at all - as soon as we turn 18, we have the right to vote. This is the right that has been won and expanded through the American Revolution, Civil War, the women's suffrage movement and the civil rights movement - because we have always understood that we are ultimately rendered defenseless when our access to the ballot box is diminished. So while voting rights may not be the most important issue to any one of us, it needs to be the most important fight for all of us.
My grandma's words have guided me over the years, and they will continue to guide me throughout my career. We should heed her important reminder that history can, and often does, move in two directions at once.
Benjamin Todd Jealous is the president and chief executive officer of the national NAACP.

2013 Porsche Cayenne Values
Select a 2013 Porsche Cayenne trim level
2013 model year changes
2013 Brings a couple of additions to the Cayenne model range. For the first time in the US, the Cayenne is available with a diesel engine. It's a turbocharged V6 unit making 240 horsepower and a whopping 406 lb-feet of torque. Rated at 29 mpg on the highway, the Cayenne Diesel is theoretically capable of traveling 740 miles on a single tank. The Cayenne GTS also makes its return to the Cayenne lineup for 2013. The GTS occupies the space between the S and the Turbo in Porsche's lineup. Lower and with a meaner appearance than the S, the GTS also makes an additional 20 horsepower thanks to a sportier exhaust system. Acceleration is improved through a shorter final drive ratio. Featuring a couple of unique trim pieces and unique 20-inch wheels, the GTS features much of the aggression of the Turbo at a lower price point.
Competitive comparison
Several powerful engine options; luxurious interiors; excellent handling; high people carrying and cargo capacity
Special features for 2013
The Porsche Cayenne represents the ultimate in SUV performance and capability. All are agile, quick, able handlers that rival many sports cars, but also offer the versatility of being able tow between 6,000 and 7,700 pounds. With six trim levels available--Base, Diesel, S, GTS, Turbo and S Hybrid--there's a Cayenne to suit all enthusiasts in the range from mild to wild. With a base price of just $48,850 getting into a Cayenne rather than a BMW or Mercedes SUV is a real option.
Now available in a GTS (420 hp) and Diesel (240 hp) trim, the 2013 Porsche Cayenne is a mid-size luxury SUV available in Hybrid and Turbo trim levels. The base Cayenne is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the Cayenne S grants the driver a 4.8-liter V8 engine that produces 400 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne Turbo utilizes the same engine but adds twin turbochargers to boost numbers up to 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne, Cayenne S, and Cayenne Turbo all achieve fuel mileage within an EPA estimated range of 15 mpg city to 22 mpg highway. The Cayenne Hybrid comes equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 hybrid engine that produces 380 hp and enables an EPA estimated 20 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. All Cayenne models come equipped with AWD and have an 8-speed automatic transmission, except for the base Cayenne that can be equipped with a 6-speed manual. Features include high-end surround sound, Porsche Communication Management, lane change assist, rear-view camera, and rear seat entertainment. Safety is comprised of advanced braking, stability management (PSM), active suspension management (PASM), dynamic chassis control (PDCC) and anti-theft protection. The Cayenne is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Victoria Azarenka overcame a sore left ankle, some anxiety and a slew of frustrating forehand errors before fending off American teenager Sloane Stephens to reach the Australian Open final against Li Na.
For the second time in two days, 19-year-old Stephens sat patiently on a courtside chair during a medical timeout by an experienced, older player late in the second set.
On Thursday, the top-seeded Azarenka returned to finish off a 6-1, 6-4 win on her sixth match point. It had been a different outcome Wednesday, when Stephens rallied from a set and a break down to beat an injured Serena Williams in three sets.
Azarenka said in an on-court interview that she "almost did the choke of the year'' when she wasted five match points on serve at 5-3 in the second, mostly with unforced errors on her forehand.
She went to the locker room for medical treatment after dropping that game, then returned to break the 29th-seeded Stephens' serve to finish off the match.
The 23-year-old Azarenka later said the treatment was for chest pain.
"I couldn't breathe. I had chest pains,'' she said. "It was like I was getting a heart attack.''
The temperature hit 97 degrees during the second women's semifinal, slightly hotter than it had been when Li Na beat No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2 to reach the Australian Open final for the second time in three years.
Sharapova was the heavy favorite after conceding only nine games in her first five matches, a record at the Australian Open.
But the semifinal started badly for the 25-year-old Russian, serving double-faults to lose the first two points and conceding a break in the first game.
Li was the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam final when she lost to Kim Clijsters at Melbourne Park in 2011. She had her breakthrough a few months later when she won the French Open, beating Sharapova in the semifinals along the way.
The crowd got behind Li early in the match, yelling "Come on, Li Na!'' and others yelling "Jia You!'' which is "Come on'' in Chinese. After she broke Sharapova to take a 5-2 lead, the Chinese fans in the crowd shook Chinese flags and shouted again, "Jia You!''
"I don't know what happened (but) I always play well here, so thanks guys,'' said Li, who was playing her third Australian Open semifinal in four years. "I just came to the court feeling like, `OK, just do it.'''
The heat and the speed of the court surface suited Li's game.
She broke Sharapova in the third game of the second set and served an ace to move within a point of a 4-2 lead, but lost the next three points to give her opponent a break opportunity.
Two big second serves took Sharapova by surprise, and Li fended off the challenge.
Li's coach, Carlos Rodriguez - who worked with retired seven-time major winner Justine Henin - pumped his fist over his heart after Li won the game.
Sharapova had control in her next service game, but Li scrambled from side to side and pushed the reigning French Open champion to go for the lines, getting a series of unforced errors and another break.
The sixth-seeded Li has been working since August with Rodriguez, and credits him with reviving her career with a renewed emphasis on condition.
"I'm happy. I know I have a tough coach, a tough physio,'' Li said, looking across to the stands and adding: "You don't need to push me anymore. I will push myself.''
Sharapova, who lost the 2012 Australian final in straight sets to Azarenka, admitted it was hard to get into the match against Li.
"She was certainly much more aggressive than I was, dictating the play. I was always on the defense,'' said Sharapova, who could have gained the No. 1 ranking by reaching the Australian final. "When I had my opportunities and break points in games that went to deuce, I don't think any of them really went my way.''
The composition of the women's semifinals was somewhat unexpected.
Stephens produced the upset of the tournament to advance to a Grand Slam semifinal for the first time with her 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory over 15-time major winner Serena Williams on Wednesday. Williams, who had been bidding for a third consecutive Grand Slam title, hurt her back in the second set and, after leading by a set and a break, ended a 20-match winning streak.
While there were surprises in the composition of the women's last four, the makeup of the men's semifinals was as expected.
Top-ranked Novak Djokovic will continue his bid for a third consecutive Australian title when he takes on No. 4 David Ferrer on Thursday. No. 2 Roger Federer and No. 3 Andy Murray will meet Friday.

THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS to Close on Broadway December 12
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS will play its final performance on Broadway on Sunday, December 12. The production, which opened October 31 at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street), will have played 49 performances and 29 previews. Previews began on October 7.
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is the last collaboration of Broadway songwriting legends John Kander and Fred Ebb. The musical features a book by David Thompson and is directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman.
"We've never believed more strongly and passionately in a show as we did with THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS," commented producers Barry and Fran Weissler and Jacki Barlia Florin. "It's a show we felt we had to produce and we're proud and grateful to have brought this last great musical from Kander & Ebb to Broadway. We encourage anyone who loves challenging, provocative and original new musicals to see us in our final two weeks at the Lyceum."
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS stars John Cullum as Interlocutor, Joshua Henry as Haywood Patterson, Colman Domingo as Mr. Bones, Forrest McClendon as Mr. Tambo, Sharon Washington as The Lady, Josh Breckenridge as Olen Montgomery, Derrick Cobey as Andy Wright, Jeremy Gumbs as Eugene Williams, Rodney Hicks as Clarence Norris, Kendrick Jones as Willie Roberson, James T. Lane as Ozie Powell and Ruby Bates, Julius Thomas III as Roy Wright, and Christian Dante White as Charles Weems and Victoria Price. The production also features E. Clayton Cornelious, JC Montgomery, Clinton Roane and Robin S. Walker.
Based on the notorious 'Scottsboro' case in the 1930s (in which nine African-American men were unjustly accused of a terrible crime) this daring and wildly entertaining musical explores a fascinating chapter in American history with brilliant originality. This critically-acclaimed production, directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) and featuring a book by David Thompson (who adapted the script for Chicago's record-breaking revival), comes to Broadway following a sold-out run at the Vineyard Theatre.
The production is the winner of the 2010 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical and the 2010 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical and a 2010 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lyrics. The show has also been nominated for four AUDELCO Awards for Excellence in Black Theatre, including Outstanding Musical Production.
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS had its world premiere earlier this year at the Vineyard Theatre (Douglas Aibel, Artistic Director). The show was further developed this summer in a critically acclaimed production at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis (Joe Dowling, Artistic Director), where it played from July 31 through September 25 on the McGuire Proscenium Stage.
Set design is by Beowulf Boritt, costume design is by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design is Ken Billington and sound design is by Peter Hylenski. Orchestrations are by Larry Hochman, with musical arrangements by Glen Kelly. Music direction is by David Loud.
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is produced on Broadway by Barry and Fran Weissler, Jacki Barlia Florin, Janet Pailet/Sharon A. Carr/Patricia R. Klausner, Nederlander Presentations Inc./The Shubert Organization Inc., Beechwood Entertainment, Broadway Across America, Mark Zimmerman, Joseph R. & Sandra Schneider, Adam Blanshay/R2D2 Productions, Rick Danzansky/Barry Tatelman, Bruce Robert Harris/Jack W. Batman, Allen Spivak/Jerry Frankel, Bard Theatricals/Probo Productions/Randy Donaldson, Catherine Schreiber/Michael Palitz/Patti Laskawy, Vineyard Theatre.
Tickets ($39.50 - $131.50; Premium $251.50) are available by calling Telecharge.com at 212-239-6200, online at www.telecharge.com and at the Lyceum Theatre box office (149 West 45th Street). Performances are Tuesday through Sunday at 8:00 PM, with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 PM.

Meinl Percussion: Congas, Bongos and Cajons in stock now!
Do you love rhythm? Are you passionate about percussion? Meinl Percussion instruments offer some of the finest examples of Congas, Bongos and Cajons available to you right now. Get the party started...let the music flow...feel the rhythm!
Why buy a Meinl Percussion Instrument? Meinl make great quality instruments at fantastic price points. Their vast range covers all musical styles you can think of, and many of the world's top percussionists choose Meinl for their percussion instrument needs.
And what's more - in our Global Warming times, it's good to see a company who actively works to help the environment! This is why Meinl take their responsibility seriously and commit themselves to several environmental projects.
After all, wood is a fundamental "ingredient" of the best percussion instruments, and you don't really want to destroy the planet just because you want to play a great instrument, do you? That's why Meinl uses renewable energy and source their wood from a traditional plantation of Rubber Wood that meets all ecological requirements.
A cajón is a kind of box drum played by slapping the front face (generally thin plywood) with the hands. The cajón is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument in the 20th century.
Meinl Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at affordable prices and can be used in Flamenco or World Music. Cajons are also very useful during unplugged gigs for delivering the rhythmic foundation for a whole band when a full drum set can't be used.
The conga is a tall, narrow, single-headed Cuban drum with African antecedents. It is thought to be derived from the Makuta drums or similar drums associated with Afro-Cubans of Central African descent. A person who plays conga is called a "conguero".
Congas are used both in Afro-Caribbean religious music and as the principal instrument in Rumba. Congas are now very common in Latin music, including salsa music, merengue music, Reggaeton, as well as many other forms of American popular music. In other words...Congas = party!
Meinl Congas have superb projection, warm tones, light weight and professional features, offering outstanding quality and great value for money.
Bongos are a Cuban percussion instrument consisting of a pair of single-headed, open-ended drums attached to each other. The drums are of different size: the larger drum is called in Spanish the hembra (female) and the smaller the macho (male). It is most often played by hand.
Bongo drums produce relatively high-pitched sounds, and should be held between the knees with the larger drum on the right when right-handed. They are traditionally played by striking the drumheads with the fingers and palms, although some contemporary compositions require drum sticks.
Meinl Bongos are an excellent choice for students, beginners and even pros, at prices that are hard to resist!
Some of the finest percussionists in the world today use Meinl, such as Amadito Valdes (Buena Vista Social Club, Afro Cuban Allstars), Luis Conte (Phil Collins, James Taylor), Chuck Prada (Black Eyed Peas), Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Eminem) and many other top names from the US, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Germany, Italy, Spain and other corners of the planet. Now its your time to join this stellar team!

Crazy how the world's worst boss still receives tribute from the rich and famous, though admittedly, a gift from Ive (an iPad 2) ain't quite centre stage at the Golden Globes. Gervais got another gift that day, signed boxing gloves from Mike Tyson (remember him?). Evidently, the old biter wants to get on Gervais' show.
I've bought tickets, have you? What's cringeworthy is that the world is queueing for these things, international iPad 2 orders backed up by 2-3 weeks, and all Gervais can say is: "it's a work of art". Come on mate, people are starving in Apple Store queues around the world!

By Clive Bernath: When Carl Froch defends his IBF super-middleweight crown in front of his home city fans at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England on Saturday night he will start an overwhelming favorite against American challenger Yusaf Mack.
In fact the 35 year-old three time world champion is such a hot favorite some experienced observers are calling the fight a mismatch. I certainly do not believe Saturday night's clash is a mismatch and there is certainly no such thing in a two horse race but I do believe 'The Cobra' will triumph via mid round stoppage. You know what, though? I don't care because as far as I'm concerned if anyone has earned the right to an easier than expected night's work its Carl Froch.
Since December 2008 the exciting British boxer has fought eight times and fought seven world champions and every one apart from one was in his prime. Off the top of my head I cannot recall one former or current world champion in the last 10 years (if not longer), that has fought such a high quality of opponent eight fights in a row, not even Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Think about it, three common opponents the two pound for pound best boxers have faced, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Shane Mosley were all past their best.
When you break down Froch's list of opponents over the last four years it does make for pretty impressive reading. First off Froch out-pointed Canadian Jean Pascal to win the vacant WBC 168lbs title in December 2008, in one of the fights of the year. Four month later the British boxer pulled off a dramatic 12th round stoppage win over former undisputed world middleweight champ Jermain Taylor to retain his title when behind on two of the three judges' scorecards. Then came a controversial split decision win over the cagey American and then undefeated Andre Dirrell. After two tough defenses Froch ventured over to Denmark in April 2010 to face former champion and national hero Mikkel Kessler, where he dropped a unanimous decision over 12 tough rounds. Seven months later Carl was back in the ring, this time against former IBF middleweight king Arthur Abraham. After 12 completely one sided rounds the 'Cobra' was a champion once again when he scored a near shut out 12 round points win to re claim the WBC 168lbs crown. After successfully out-pointing the always tough to beat Glen Johnson in defense of his WBC crown, Froch was forced to succumb to the skills of unbeaten American pound for pound top 10 boxer Andre Ward in the final of Showtime's excellent Super Six tournament in December 2012. Ward proved a handy winner on the night but Froch, as always fought his heart out to the very end.
After such a tough and tiring campaign one could forgive Froch for taking time out and easing his way back into world title contention but again the incredibly durable Englishman put his career and reputation very firmly on the line by challenging the then undefeated IBF super-middleweight king Lucian Bute. Agreed, the Canadian was untested and fought pretty much his entire career in the comfort of his adopted home of Quebec in Canada but he was unbeaten in 30 starts and had defended his title nine times. He was also a slight favorite to defeat Froch. However, one has learned never to underestimate the 'Cobra', and once again he proved his doubters wrong by destroying Bute inside five rounds to become a three time champion.
If I'm honest I never expected Froch as successful as he has inside the ring and no one deserves praise more than him for his achievements considering the fierce opposition he has faced to get there. Froch is a true and genuine world champion and the real deal as far as I'm concerned. When his career is over he can look back with the assured knowledge that he fought every top contender in his division, how other world champions can look in the mirror and say the same?

THL Toolbox > Audio-Video > Overview
An Overview of Working with Audio-Video
Contributor(s): David Germano, James Graves, Chelsea Hall, Eric Woelfel.
New developments in digital technology and the Web offer exciting new possibilities for the incorporation of audio-video into new areas of research, publication and teaching. They also allow us for the first time to use and explore audio-video creatively in ways previously only possible with texts, such as providing for powerful ways to search media files and giving users tools to creatively alter audio-video files to incorporate into their own work. However, working with audio-video can also be very frustrating, and thus THL has expended considerable energies in developing tools and documentation to provide a systematic framework for the creation, delivery and use of audio-video in research, publication and teaching.
For a beginner's lesson on how to use the AV Database website, please see: Using the THL AV Database.
The overall process from start to finish can be divided into five distinct phases:
- Create the audio-video through recording sessions
- Technically process the media into edited segments in formats usable on a computer
- Catalog the resultant media titles with metadata
- Linguistically process the media titles with transcription, translation, annotation and timecoding
- Package the media title into research publications, or into instructional units, including integration with reference databases, for delivery to end users
Given the demands of such a process, it is vital that an integrated set of tools with proper manuals and broader documentation are available which are free, open source, and suited for educational purposes. We are creating comprehensive documentation for each phase, which themselves involve a series of internal steps and processes often requiring separate documentation. As a whole, these materials form the basis for our training and reference with regard to audio-video materials.
A more practical overview:
1. Determine a title to be produced.
- Review/screen recorded material (i.e., video tapes) and decide how they might be broken down into discrete titles. Each title will be its own video. Consult standardized guidelines for generating titles, including standardized phraseology, etc.
- Generating Titles & Credits for Recordings
2. Propose a title (and corresponding credits for each title) and have them checked by Germano.
- (Typically, it's best to prepare a batch of titles and their corresponding credits, and submit that to Germano, rather than submitting titles to him one-by-one.)
3. Send the approved titles and credits to Penam in Lhasa, or a local Tibetan assigned to the task like Tsering Wangchuk and Tsering Perlo to be rendered into Tibetan and Chinese.
4. Meanwhile digitize and edit your titles in Final Cut Pro, inserting blank title and credit slates whose trilingual information can be added later, once translations are ready.
5. Complete catalog entries in BOTH the physical media (i.e., tapes) database AND Audio-Video database.
- Physical Media Database: Make sure the content of the tape is properly described in the physical media database. Also include the recording date, the tape format (i.e., NTSC, PAL, HD, etc.), and other useful data about the tape itself and its recording.
- AV Database: Give a short description of the title's content, fill out the relevant metadata (like language, etc.), propose collection classifications if not obvious, & record as much information as you can about participants involved in your title, under the "Credits" tab of each AVDB entry
- Consult with a native Tibetan speaker to help process participant information on handwritten forms as necessary. (Often such forms are filled out in the cursive script, not dbu can, and may therefore be harder to understand.)
6. Compress each title in Final Cut Pro, making sure you've included ending credits. Upload the files to the server after compression and after converting the audio files to MPEG-3 and generating thumbnails.
7. Alert a Transcription Center that the compression is ready for transcription, and eventual translation.
8. If relevant, once transcribed, it can be further processed for use in an instructional unit or other presentational context (see making language instructional units).
NOTE: If possible, use the fields under the workflow tab in order to mark processes as completed. In addition, you should keep track of the workflow in a more comprehensive fashion using the status reports for av, ie: titles waiting to be approved, completed titles, etc. In the future, we hope the new AV database will allow for tracking of workflow so that everyone involved can easily fnd what titles need to be translated, etc. by using the database itself.

Two Dover men, Benjamin Hibbler and Michael Shahan, were killed Monday night in a crash north of Little Creek.
Two Dover men were killed Monday night in a crash north of Little Creek.
The crash occurred at 7:05 p.m. July 21, on Del. Route 9, north of North Little Creek Road, said Delaware State Police spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.
The police investigation indicated a 2001 tow truck, driven by Benjamin W. Hibbler, 26, was traveling at a high rate of speed when it entered a left hand curve. The truck's passenger-side tires went off the eastern edge of the roadway, causing it to turn and cross the road while spinning counterclockwise, Fournier said.
The truck left the roadway, stopping only when it smashed into a large metal utility pole.
Hibbler, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital, but died as a result of his injuries.
His passenger, identified as Michael J. Shahan, 23, also was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Initial indications are that speed and alcohol may have contributed to the crash, Fournier said.
Route 9 between North Little Creek Road and White Oak Road was closed for approximately 3.5 hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.

Memoir '44 Projects of Yann
Default title (double click to modify)
Do you really want to delete this project?
Default text (click on the pen icon to edit)
The User Pages Project
The User Pages project (what you are looking at) is an idea that we have tried to develop several times in the past in various ways. The basic idea was to create a web space where players could post content in a very simple manner: home rules and variants, translations, images, etc.
The first attempt was the M44 Platoon fan site, using an off-the-shelf web publishing system. It was a failure, because the system was too complicated to use. Then followed several prototypes that a few "beta testers" used, which gave us very valuable feed-back. Again, simplicity appeared to be key to the project.
So we re-developed everything from scratch, using the latest web technologies: in-place editing, dynamic linking, etc. We also focused ourselves on the Memoir '44 community, because Memoir '44 players develop lots of content with the Scenario Editor, the After Action Reports, etc.
So here is a first release of this hard work. We hope you will find it useful!
In the meantime, have fun and we look forward to your feed-back and your great content!

Well I was bored last night so I waited up for my Mametchi, Katyn, to wake up and leave her new baby. When she did at exactly 12:00, I took out the digicam and took the series of pictures of the somewhat sad departure. My other tama unit did the same, but I didn't get to catch it on cam. At first I thought my game was stuck but it was just Derix staring at his baby for a good minute before going byebye. The whole goodbye process lasted 3 minutes.

Shine is one of those "strong verbs" that had an irregular past tense and past participle (shone) but later acquired a regular form ending in -ed as well.
If they mean that the past participle was shone first and then shined later, then no. A quick look in the OED tells me that shone only came to be used as the past participle in the second half of the 16th century. Before that the past participle was shined.
In fact, the verb has had three past participles.
sinen, from earlier *scinen - presumably this is the earliest past participle, compare the German past participle geschienen and Dutch geschenen:
Ðe leun ne stireð he nout of slepe Til ðe sunne haueð sinen ðries him abuten. - Bestiary, c1220
shined - as Gabe says, this was the most common past participle between 1300 and 1700:
The mone is alway halfe shyned of the sonne. - Trevisa, Bartholomeus (de Glanvilla) De proprietatibus rerum, 1398
We are sure, the good-will of Him who dwelt in the Bush has shined upon us. - Oliver Cromwell, Letters and speeches, 1648
And shone, originally the strong preterite form, started to be used as the past participle in the mid-1500s:
The aultars where the sacred flames haue shone. - George Gascoigne, Jocasta, 1566

2) The Users
These people cherish their vintage sewing patterns too, but would rather enjoy them now than keep them for posterity. In fact, it may not even have occurred to them to make an effort to look after their patterns... or maybe they have debated the issue at length and concluded that the patterns are there to be used. Their patterns are piled up on their sewing table, or even pinned up on their wall.
So now I've got to decide how best to display them, while also making sure I don't completely let them deteriorate. Initially I was thinking of framing them individually, but I'm not sure I want to separate the instructions and pattern pieces from the cover... hmm. Another idea is to get one of those wall-mountable perspex brochure holders that you see in hotels displaying leaflets for Viking museums and the like. That way I can flick through them when needed and keep my current favourites or next-to-sew at the front of the rack.
Knowing you lot, I'm sure you've got ideas and opinions on the matter. How do you keep your vintage sewing patterns? Are you a Preservationist, a User or something else entirely? Do you have any ideas for how I should display my patterns? If you've got any creative ideas or images of your own uniques storage or display system, do share!

Code is Liability, the Less the Better

Reading List
In lean manufacturing, the definition of inventory is pretty clear. It is the extra material, work in progress material and material queued up for the next bit of work. Lean emphasizes on reducing the inventory because there is always an inventory handling costs. In software development, often requirements are seen as inventory, what about the code?
If you spend a lot of time elaborating requirements for features you are not going to work on for a while your process isn't streamlined enough. That's fair, but I think that the brutal reality is that we have something much more tangible that we can see as inventory: our code.
According to Michael, in Lean manufacturing, components are made one by one. Real efficiencies can be gained by streamlining how the pieces go through the process. Things are different in software. Here teams are working on the same piece again and again. It is not quite done till the system is being used. Hence, code is a live inventory that we carry through and it needs to be minimized.
In software development, we are essentially working on the same car or widget continuously, often for years. We are in the same soup, the same codebase. We can't expect a model based on independence of pieces in manufacturing to be accurate when we are working continuously on a single thing (a codebase) that shows wear over time and needs constant attention. No, to me, code is inventory. It is stuff lying around and it has substantial cost of ownership. It might do us good to consider what we can do to minimize it.
Likewise, Ori Pekelman suggested that code is a liability than an asset. Initially teams would have to write code to make the product which would fetch money, however later, teams should find ways to reduce the code as much as possible to keep the costs low. According to Ori,
The more code you have, the costlier it will be to add anything new. And the real bad news is that everything you add will just pile up on top of the "code that is" making every subsequent addition even costlier. Now the negative marginal utility of the existing code is not a fixed quantity : the better structured you code is, the more unit tests you have, the more cool schema-less or loose schema databases you use, the less new code is costly.
In the book, The Art of Readable Code by Boswell and Foucher, the authors stressed on the importance of lightweight code bases. According to them, the best way to cope up with a production system is to keep the codebase as light as possible. Some of the ways suggested were,
- Create as much generic utilities as possible.
- Remove unused code or unused features.
- Keep project modularized into disconnected sub projects.
- Be familiar with the libraries around you.
- Always be conscious of the weight of the codebase, keep it light and nimble.
Kevlin Henney mentioned a strong need to remove code and make it lightweight as a possible in his practical guide to writing less code.
Thus, there are strong reasons to keep the codebase light and nimble. As Michael aptly summed it up,
I think that the future belongs to organizations that learn how to strategically delete code. Carrying costs are larger than we think. There's competitive advantage for companies that recognize this.

Never compare Software Development with Manufacturing
Roopesh Shenoy
It would be really dangerous if the suits start taking more leaves out of manufacturing and start applying them willy-nilly to software development. I have seen it happen, and giving these examples only make them stronger in their beliefs that yes, developing software is indeed similar to manufacturing.
A much better comparison is always RND effort that goes before manufacturing.
Re: Never compare Software Development with Manufacturing
Vikas Hazrati
I guess that is what Michael suggested through the quotes mentioned above. Manufacturing and software development _are_different because we do not work on pieces in a process. Not sure, if you meant the 'Code is inventory' analogy is wrong/misleading?
Re: Never compare Software Development with Manufacturing
Roopesh Shenoy
rather, it takes time to refactor things and move things around and hence it takes more effort and more time. The only time it saves cost is **AFTER** doing it (during subsequent). Try explaining how this fits into the manufacturing analogy.
This is just a simple example, wait till you see really creative suits who think they know-it-all read this. I am sure some poor development team is going to suffer because their manager will read this article and remember only "lean software development is like lean manufacturing" and forget everything else mentioned here and say..
"Come on people, lets get lean!"
But overall I agree that in most cases, the emphasis on keeping code size down is really important. Kudos to bringing that out.
Re: Never compare Software Development with Manufacturing
Cloves Almeida
Let's see:
>> Create as much generic utilities as possible.
Don't Repeat Yourself. Yet, this mostly breaks the You're Not Gonna Need It principle.
>> Remove unused code or unused features.
One aspect of Refactoring. If you know how to use a version control system, you don't need unused code lying around.
>> Keep project modularized into disconnected sub projects.
Separation of Concerns. Again, do it earlier in the project only if you're really gonna need it!
>> Be familiar with the libraries around you.
Don't be a moron and keep yourself informed the craft you've chosen to make a living.
>> Always be conscious of the weight of the codebase, keep it light and nimble.
Refactor frequently.
Lean techniques, if applied without very much prior thinking will get you burned. It's hard enough to apply on the relatively static field of manufacturing, it's much harder at the very dynamic field of software development.

FREE SHIPPING in USA for All Appliances!*
The Green Star Elite GSE-5300 is identical to the GSE-5000 but it includes the pasta making set.
It is an incredible juicer with updated styling cues and a full complement of accessories included. It is now the "top of the line" juicer from Tribest in the US.
The new model offers the following enhancements over other Green Star models:
- Jumbo twin gears (about 1" longer than the standard GreenStar twin gear) which support three stage extraction - pressing, mixing and crushing.
- Because the gears are longer, so are the screens, which allow for more surface area for juice to flow across before being extracted into the juice collection bowl (see images below).
- New Sleek Design – The new modern lightweight streamlined look matches to any kitchen counter complimenting your kitchen style and design.
- New Locking Mechanism – By changing the locking system from removable turning knobs to a stationary latching system, the new one snap step offers optimum convenience and an easier way to assemble and disassemble the machine.
- Detachable power Cord.
- Added Safety – GreenStar Elite prevents injury by eliminating your chances of interacting with moving parts by including a safety switch system attached to the safety hood, which disables operation when the hood is removed.
- Easy Clean Up – By combining parts through the new sleek design, there are fewer parts, which means there is less to clean. Additionally, the included safety hood can be used as a basket to cradle the juicing parts after cleaning providing you with storage space for drying without taking up any additional space on the counter.
- New Easy Grip Outlet Adjusting Knob – The knob has been re‐designed to include easy grip ridges so you can easily grasp, turn and manually control the pressure inside the machine quickly so you can juice a wider variety of fruits and vegetables of different consistencies.
- Higher Yields – Designed to maximize the yield and nutritional value of your juice, Advanced Heavy Duty Jumbo Twin Gears, with the same magnetic and bio-ceramic technology as the original twin gears, extend the juicing process from two to three stages – crushing, mixing, and pressing.
- Increased Versatility – By adding the mixing stage in between the crushing and pressing stages, juicing soft fruits has now become much easier and more effective.
- Increased Value – By including only the most popular items into one convenient package, there is only one model to Green Star Elite and only one optional accessory; the soft fruit outlet adjusting knob – and we include it FREE!
The low 110 RPM motor (120V, 190 Watts) reduces heat build up in the juice, delaying initial oxidation and slowing down the "aging process", allowing more leisurely consumption while getting full nutritional benefits. The GSE-5000 also processes whole foods, making favorites like almond and date pie crusts, pates from nuts and vegetables, sauces from a vast array of ingredients, baby foods, frozen fruit desserts and more. The choice is yours.
The twin gears are now larger in size and add a new state of the art extraction stage. While the original Green Star had two juicing stages (steps 1 and 3 below), the Green Star Elite now has the following three juicing stages:
Stage 1: Crushing Stage - As the produce enters the stainless steel portion of the twin gears, crushing and mastication occurs. This process breaks apart the cell membranes in the produce so that juice can be extracted.
Stage 2: Mixing & Rubbing Stage – A New Patent Pending feature!
Upon passing the stainless steel area, the produce passes through the first half of the acetal screw and the produce is mixed and rubbed together so the cell membranes can be easily opened. This is a revolutionary process only available with the Green Star Elite's Jumbo Twin Gears.
Stage 3: Squeezing Stage - The second half of the acetal screw applies extra pressure on the produce and further increases the number of opened cell membranes. The three juicing stages above work together synergistically and results in a higher juice yield for both hard root vegetables and soft fruits compared to the original Green Star.
All Green Star Elite components such as the twin gear housing and outlet casing are now lighter in weight than its predecessors. The GSE's juicing parts are also now made heat resistant and can now be used in dishwashers!
Cleaning up the Green Star Elite is now much easier due to the 'latch system' which makes cleaning and assembly quick and simple.
Using the GSE is now even safer because of the 'safety switch system' which disables operation unless the machine is fully assembled. The result is the elimination of chances to touch the moving parts. The top cover of the GSE must be removed to gain access to the moving parts and once lifted, the machine automatically shuts off!
Soft Fruit Adjustment Knob / Attachment
By far our most popular accessory, this special attachment allows you to juice softer fruits. If you plan to juice citrus fruits, watermelon or pineapple you will find this attachment indispensable!

War Machine Argues "You Can't Rape a Pornstar" + Other Developments From His Preliminary Hearing
Being that he's currently on trial for some 34 charges including the attempted murder and sexual assault of his former girlfriend, Christy Mack, we could pretty much close the book on former UFC/Bellator fighter War Machine undergoing a series of personal changes that completely redeemed him in our eyes. That said, recent developments in the trial of one John J. (for Jerkface) Koppenhaver have managed to somehow lower our previously un-lowerable opinion of the man.Read More DIGG THIS

Chatting before the start of an editorial meeting, Lynne Anderson told us about a family she had adopted through Winship's Adopt-A-Family program, one supporting needy families stricken by cancer. My colleague Morgan and I were so moved and unexpectedly brought to tears by the story (I didn't even have tissues ready!) that we proposed our marketing team adopt a family as our group's annual holiday community building event. Everyone readily agreed – and even better to be helping members of our own Emory community.
While participation was voluntary, it wasn't surprising that we had 100% participation from our team. After all is there a more noble cause then helping a family in need when confronted by a life-threatening illness? Even though we weren't able to fill every wish on our family's list, we were able to provide enough so that every member of the 6-person family, whose patriarch is battling pancreatic cancer, would each have a few gifts under the tree and also provide a gift card to help with daily expenses. In addition to helping a family, it gave our team a chance for fellowship as we gathered to wrap gifts and enjoy a few moments away from the hectic pace of the busy work day.
Our whole team got to benefit from the joy of giving, but I was honored to be the one to deliver the gifts to the family. The mom and granddaughter greeted me at the door when I arrived. The rest of the family simply enjoying each other's company sitting by the tree, catching up on the daily news or finishing the day's homework. They were gracious accepting our humble gifts. The youngest among them already delighted to play with the colorful bows. I didn't stay very long, but I was there long enough to feel the love in the room and their appreciation for a group of strangers who wanted to bring a little joy to their family for Christmas.
As I was driving home down winding country roads and gazing out over the serene rolling hills, Aaron Copeland's Simple Gifts movement from his ballet Appalachian Spring popped into my head. Da dum, da da dum dum, da da dum, da da dum…. I have been humming, singing the simple beautiful tune ever since, thinking about this family. I hope, dare I say I know, we brought them some extra joy and blessings for the holidays. But I just can't stop thinking, what happens to this family on December 26th or February, March, April? Long after the decorations are put away and we go about our daily lives with the giving spirit of the season left behind us for another year, what happens to this and other families still in need?
Unfortunately long-term survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients are bleak with the 5-year survival rate barely reaching 6%1. While I desperately hope otherwise, I know even tougher times are ahead this family as the dad's cancer progresses. When he can no longer work, who will be there to help? And how will they pick up the pieces and move on when the inevitable happens?
While little can help ease the emotional struggle, at least there are options to help with financial hardship. I was pleased to learn that Winship has a patient assistance fund to help families-in-need year-round. So as you are considering your new year's resolutions for 2012, instead of making empty promises to yourself, why not consider how you can help extend the holiday spirit throughout the year? Whether it is donating funds to a program like Winship's Patient Assistance Fund or by volunteering at a soup kitchen in the spring, there are many simple ways to help families in need throughout the year.
Our simple gifts mean much to these families. So now instead of feeling down as I hum my the shaker tune, I am hopeful and reminded of the joy givers and receivers find in simple gifts.
Simple Gifts (By Elder Joseph Brackett Jr., 1848)
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be, And when we find ourselves in the place just right,'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.When true simplicity is gain'd, To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd, To turn, turn will be our delight 'Till by turning, turning we come round right.

The 8th annual Charles Green Lecture
in Law and Technology
On Monday, October 25 from 4:00-5:30pm
in the auditorium, please plan on attending the 8th
annual Charles Green Lecture in Law and Technology.
This year's lecture, "The Role of En Banc Review
at the Federal Circuit" will be given by the Honorable
Arthur J. Gajarsa, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
The Federal Circuit is unique among
the federal circuit courts of appeal because its decisions
set nation-wide legal standards. Its national jurisdiction
also results in few splits in authority between it and
the regional circuits, which is often a reason the Supreme
Court agrees to hear a given case. Consequently, when
the court decides an en banc case, its impact is of
considerable importance. It has immediate national impact
and can send a signal to the Supreme Court for possible
review. Notwithstanding the importance of these cases,
much ambiguity surrounds how the court decides to take
a case en banc. Judge Gajarsa will address the en banc
process at the Federal Circuit, the reasons why the
court would take the extraordinary step of granting
en banc review, and whether the court, given its unique
role, should take more or fewer cases en banc in order
to promote uniformity in U.S. patent law.
The Green lecture will be preceded in
the day by the inaugural Federal Circuit Roundtable
from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The Roundtable is an annual event
in which a panel of prominent Chicago-area practitioners
who are former Federal Circuit Clerks will address current
issues in patent law. There will also be a reception
following the lecture from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Student volunteer

Former Citigroup Global Markets agent sentenced to three years behind bars in cemetery trust fund case
Secretary of State's Prosecution Assistance Unit teams with Marion County Prosecutor's office to build successful case against agent who helped steal millions from cemetery trust fund
INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 19, 2011) – A Marion County judge today ordered former financial agent Mark Singer to three years behind bars for his part in defrauding investors of an Indiana cemetery trust fund of more than $23 million.
Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White credited the successful conclusion of the case to the collaboration between the Marion County Prosecutor's Office and the Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU) – a team in the Indiana Securities Division comprised of legal and criminal experts with more than 70 years of experience.
"This is a perfect example of teamwork and efficiency between government agencies for the benefit of Hoosiers," White said. "It is because of the hard work between the PAU and the prosecutor's office that justice was served, and Hoosier investors can rest assured this type of partnership will continue to protect them against deceptive financial agents like Singer."
Singer was found guilty of five counts of felony theft in connection with Robert Nelms, who is serving up to 10 years for securities fraud offenses involving the same $23 million cemetery trust fund scheme.
Nelms was the owner and president of Memory Gardens Management Corporation, an Indiana corporation that owned and operated cemetery property and funeral homes. In Indiana, the owner of a private cemetery is required by law to provide for the creation and establishment of an irrevocable perpetual care fund. The fund is designed for the purpose of permanently maintaining cemeteries for the benefit of the community and those who purchase lots there.
For his part in the investment scheme, Singer took the money and placed it in accounts through his former employer – CitiGroup Global Markets, an arm of CitiGroup.
Singer immediately will begin serving a three-year prison term. He also was ordered to serve two years in work release and three years probation, as well as paying court costs. A restitution amount to the victims has not been determined.
Singer also faces a March trial in Tennessee for theft and securities violations.
About the Prosecution Assistance Unit
Created in 2004, the sole purpose of the unit is to assist police and prosecutors in investigating and prosecuting criminal violations of the Indiana Securities Act and the Indiana Loan Brokers Act. The investigators and attorneys in the unit collectively have more than 72 years of experience investigating and prosecuting criminals.

Recycling electronic discards can be daunting, involving both hazardous substances and materials theoretically recyclable but not really marketable. Such hurdles can lead to shortcuts that are sleazy or downright illegal.
One way to get norms taken seriously is a sort of "neighborhood watch" approach responsible corporate citizens keeping an eye out for abuses. Until now, only a few companies with serious clout were willing to play that role. One is computer maker Dell Corp., Round Rock, Texas, with its elaborate worldwide auditing of recyclers and refurbishers to which it sends discarded equipment from customers. Dell's aim is to avoid complicity in pollution, unsafe workplaces or internationally dumped waste.
The desire to wield such oversight is now working its way down to somewhat smaller players.
One potential tool for flagging undesirable electronic recycling situations at a vendor company is a type of input-output analysis labeled "mass balance accounting."
"The only way to be sure that everything is recycled and not exported or landfilled is by mass balance accounting and reconciliation," said Robert Houghton, president of Redemtech Inc., Columbus, Ohio, a recycling company with branches in Virginia and Nevada. "At the simplest level, record the amount of weight you send to your recycler. Compare against your recycler's report of weight received. Require disposition records from your recycler for raw materials approximately equal in weight to the total."
Such data can't be precise. The Basel Action Network, an environmental advocacy group, suggests in a draft document that a 5-percent mismatch is acceptable, but not much more.
The arithmetic becomes dizzying if you try to analyze data from successive processing facilities in the custody chain. "As you look at the next processor tiers downstream, the tracking for commodity-type materials becomes even more challenging," Tanja Hermann, principal at SmartEE Consulting LLC, Elgin, Texas, said. "Downstream material tracking from an auditor perspective is part art and part science. Plausibility checks are as much part of the equation as simple math. With experience, you know what to look for and sniff out inconsistencies."
One company that has become hard-line on neighborhood surveillance is Samsung Electronics America, which periodically audits the contractors to which it sends defunct equipment. "The contractual terms include that they will not, under any circumstance, incinerate, send to solid waste landfill or export toxic waste, as defined consistent with the Basel Convention and the Basel Ban Amendment," Samsung said.
Those Basel documents are internationally negotiated rules on international shipments of commodities that can impair people's health. The amendment is much stronger than the treaty but has fewer governments adhering to it.
When Samsung's Recycling Direct program began in 2008, the announcement said that the U.S. program "has set scorecard standards with our contracted recyclers. We will track and monitor their processes and results very closely." Since then, the list of Samsung recycling partners has shrunk to three from four, but neither Samsung nor its former Minnesota contractor responded to AMM requests for an explanation of the break.
One choke point for scrapped electronics has eased in the past year, according to Bob Erie of E-World Recyclers LLC, Vista, Calif.
Leaded glass from defunct televisions and computer monitors has become easier to get processed, he said, since Technologies Displays America LLC, owned by India's Videocon Industries Ltd., took over a major television manufacturing plant in Mexicali, Baja California.
Waning demand for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) in developed countries has made such glass less recyclable from a supply vs. demand standpoint.
"Videocon has an amazing 1-million-square-foot facility (in Mexicali). It uses robotics to assemble CRT televisions. They're using portions of that plant to reconstruct, to remanufacture new CRTs today," Erie said. "Half of the plant has been turned into a glass processing facility. They get (discarded CRT) glass from the U.S., they have hot-wire separators, and manual separation and two washing systems" to keep leaded glass from mixing with plain glass. "Then they send the glass out (to India), the parent company remanufactures the panel and funnel, which go back to Mexico" for use in new televisions.
Erie objects to how California journalists handled a local controversy involving leaded video glass. News accounts focused on a large inventory of shattered CRTs, originating in California, stored just over the Arizona state line at a Dlubak Glass Co. facility in Yuma. "That mountain of glass, sitting there, is not a mountain of hazardous material. It's a mountain of product. If they're going to clean, separate and sell that glass, it's not waste," he said.
Federal regulations say discarded video glass can be stored for up to a year without being considered hazardous waste. A span longer than that negates the claim that recycling was intended.

Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

By now you have probably seen the rumor yet again all over the net announcing; "New Car From China for $600.00 US Dollars"…well here is what Ebongeek found. This rumor first made its appearance back in 2002 with the 1-litre car from Volkswagen. It was a prototype single passenger vehicle with an impressive 200+ mile per gallon fuel rating.
Fast forward to the 2009 Frankford Auto Show, VW reveals a much more refined concept vehicle called the VW L1, similar in many respects to the 1-litre car but with the sleek styling and modern design elements we have come to expect from German engineering. According to the VW press release "the L1 Concept – a diesel-electric hybrid vehicle constructed from aluminum and carbon fiber weighing just 380 kg and capable of returning 189 mpg on the combined cycle while emitting just 39 g/km of CO2. The L1 Concept draws inspiration from the original 1-litre car, unveiled in April 2002 when Dr. Ferdinand Piech, then Chairman of the Board of Management, drove the concept between Wolfsburg and Hamburg. At that time producing the carbon fiber reinforced plastic body was simply not viable. With modern production processes, large-scale manufacture of such structures is now possible." (Notice reference to the "original 1-litre car"?)
This is the vehicle Ebongeek editors believe VW may actually bring to market it's called the Volkswagen XL1 Super Efficient Vehicle . We estimate that with conventional production methods it would most likely not be economically feasible to bring this vehicle to market for anything under $10,500 us dollars.

Knight, Pistons snap skid against Bulls
Auburn Hills, MI – Brandon Knight poured in 20 points as the Detroit Pistons snapped their 18-game losing slide to Chicago with a 99-85 victory over the Bulls at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Rodney Stuckey added 14 points for the Pistons, who had won just two of their previous 25 meetings against their Central Division rival from the Windy City. Greg Monroe chipped in 11 points and Andre Drummond had 10 rebounds.
The win came without point guard Jose Calderon, who did not play due to a triceps strain. Detroit's win also ended its eight-game losing streak at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
"It felt good," Knight said. "We were the team to not make mistakes and capitalized on their mistakes."
Jonas Jerbko went 7-of-8 from the field on his way to 17 points which he accompanied with nine rebounds. Charlie Villanueva and Khris Middleton scored 12 and 10 points, respectively, off the Pistons' bench.
Carlos Boozer paced the Bulls with 21 points and 10 rebounds, but it was not enough to make up for the absence of Luol Deng, who did not dress due to a sore hip. Nate Robinson had 18 points on 8-of-19 shooting from the floor while Joakim Noah returned to the lineup after missing the last eight games to tally 13 points and seven rebounds.
"You can't use that as an excuse," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said about playing shorthanded. "Whoever is out there, we have to go out and get the job done."
Chicago is now 42-34, which places it two games back of Brooklyn for fourth place in the Eastern Conference and just one game ahead of Atlanta.
The Bulls were in control early on and took a 9-2 lead less than four minutes after tip-off. They extended their advantage as many as 11 before Detroit generated an 11-4 run to make it a one-point affair. Jimmy Butler put in a layup in the closing seconds to send Chicago into the second quarter with a 26-23 edge on the scoreboard.
Villanueva provided a spark for Detroit with eight points in the second quarter. The Pistons jumped out to a six point lead and Knight scored their final six points of the first half help the hosts take a 50-46 lead into the intermission.
Knight carried over his momentum into the third quarter, where he netted 12 points. Detroit hit on 58.8 percent of its field goal tries in the 12 minutes after halftime while limiting the Bulls' trips to the charity stripes.
After Detroit took an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter, Knight made a reverse layup that put his squad up by double-digits for good. Chicago was limited to 41.2 percent efficiency from the field in the final frame.
Game Notes
Indiana clinched the Central Division crown with the Bulls' loss...Marco Belinelli returned from an injury that kept him out seven games but did not score in 20 minutes of action...Chicago went 3-of-15 from beyond the arc while Detroit knocked down 9-of-18 from 3-point range...Butler contributed 14 points and played a game-high 44:55 in the setback.

Madden '13 is set to be released on August 14th. This game is packed with features including a new physics engine, an overhauled presentation, and the Connected Careers.
Wow! To think it only took 7 years for EA to make a next gen football game, cudos to EA on a job not so well done.
Not by giving these rookies super high ratings, would be nice if Madden finally caught up to NFL 2K5, but I kind of doubt it.
It's a damn shame EA owns exclusive rights and have no competition so they can continue to pump out the same boring football games year after year. They should take a year off and only release roster update and refine. Madden f'in blows!

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - John Wilson and David Beddinger came up with the idea to show support for the thousands of Police, Fire and Medic personnel who worked countless hours during the DNC.
"Working all day long, getting yelled at by people driving by, we saw protestors right in their face. I just can't imagine how they did it and kept their composure it was really great," said Beddinger.
The two, along with Paul Thompson of Coffey and Thompson Gallery made a huge "thank you" card that lists all the names of agencies that helped.
As of Friday morning, it's been at the intersection of Morehead and Tryon for less than 24 hours and it's about to run out of room, again.
"The sign originally started out to be much smaller than you see here now. But there was so much participation that we felt like we had to enlarge it," said Thompson.
Anyone who wants, can come by and sign the card. The folks who made it say they hope to get it signed and find a way to ensure everyone who worked the DNC will get a chance to see it.
