Last month, I went up to Yale with my parents to see my sister's amazing costumes in Molière's Don Juan. She gave us a fun tour of her studio, costume shop, and class rooms as well as a good portion of campus. It was great running into a number of actors I saw in plays when I was at Yale in December. We may go up again in the Spring to see more of my sister's shows. 🙂

Federer beats Tunisian wild card in 3 sets to reach 2nd round of Dubai Championships
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Roger Federer rallied past Tunisian wild card Malek Jaziri 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 Tuesday to reach the second round of the Dubai Championships.
The second-ranked Federer is looking for his sixth title in Dubai. He next faces Albert Montanes or Marcel Granollers.
Federer was playing the 128th-ranked Jaziri for the first time and had said he expected a "tricky" match. The Swiss star was proved right in the first set when Jaziri broke serve to go up 6-5 and closed it with a backhand down the line.
Federer, however, dominated after that. He raced through the second set in 23 minutes and broke Malek twice in the third set.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - George Zimmerman will seek to delay the start of his trial in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin to allow him more time to raise money for his defense, his attorney said on Wednesday.
Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's lead defense attorney, said he planned to file a motion to request the trial, which is scheduled to start in June, be delayed by six months, arguing he needs more time and money to investigate the claims against his client.
"I think that we still need another $200,000 to $300,000," he told Reuters. "There's still a lot of investigation to do."
O'Mara said a separate request for the court to find Zimmerman indigent and eligible for state funding of defense expenses "may be on the horizon."
Zimmerman, who is out of jail on a $1 million bond, is living in hiding in central Florida pending the trial.
At the time of the shooting on February 26, Zimmerman was a volunteer neighborhood watch captain in a gated community where Martin was staying with his father.
Prosecutors say Zimmerman profiled Martin as the teenager walked back to where he was staying, then pursued, confronted and killed him.
Zimmerman is expected to claim self defense under Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law which makes it difficult to prosecute a shooter who subsequently claims self defense.
A new Zimmerman defense fund website that went public on Wednesday provides a general accounting of expenditures and shows the fund has raised more than $314,000 since May 2012.
The money has been spent on Zimmerman's jail bond, security and legal costs, and almost $62,000 for Zimmerman's living expenses, according to the website.
As of this week, the fund balance was under $5,000, O'Mara said.
"I think there's enough money to pay rent (for Zimmerman) for the next month and some other living expenses and not much more than that," O'Mara said.
The defense fund is planning more aggressive fundraising, according to the website.
O'Mara said upcoming expenses include the hiring of four to seven more experts for the defense. Neither O'Mara or co-counsel Don West are being paid, according to the website.
The next court hearing on pending pre-trial issues is set for Tuesday.

Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey, who shipped Good Reward west for a 16-to-1 upset victory in the 2004 Hollywood Derby, hopes to spring another surprise with Imagining in the $250,000 Grade I test for 3-year-olds at 1 ¼ miles on grass at Hollywood Park Sunday.
The Derby climaxes the Turf Festival, five grass stakes for a total of $950,000 in purses to be run here Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Hollywood Park stable area took on the look of a mini-Breeders' Cup Wednesday with the arrival of horses from England, Ireland, New York, Kentucky, Maryland and Florida for the rich races.
Imagining, a chestnut homebred owned by Phipps Stable, arrived here Monday on a Tex Sutton flight that originated in New York with stablemate Rescue Squad—ticketed for the $100,000 Native Diver Handicap here December 3—and was stabled with Jerry Hollendorfer in Barn 70 South.
"They settled in really well and both galloped for the first time this morning," said Jennifer Patterson, assistant to McGaughey, accompanied by groom Jorge Molina.
Imagining, a lightly raced son of Giant's Causeway, broke his maiden at third asking at 1 1/8 miles on the Belmont Park turf September 21 and finished fifth in an allowance race at one mile on the Belmont grass in his last start October 26.
"I think he'll really like this distance," said Patterson. "A mile was too short for him. A mile and a quarter should suit him really well." Javier Castellano has the Derby call.
Imagining was accompanied on the flight by two other Derby candidates: Casino Host from New York for trainer Chad Brown, and Willcox Inn from Kentucky for trainer Michael Stidham.
Casino Host, who finished third in the Virginia Derby in July, arrived with groom Jose Pedro Morales and was stabled in Barn 70 North with trainer Humberto Ascanio.
Brown, 32, is one of the fastest-rising young trainers in the game and would love to win the race as a tribute to the late Bobby Frankel, who died two years ago.
Brown worked as an assistant for Hall of Famer Frankel for five years before going on his own in 2007 and credits Frankel as having the most influence on his career.
"Chad worked here and I could see he was smart and had a passion for the game," said Ascanio, Frankel's long-time chief assistant. Now Brown has shipped his first Hollywood starter to the barn Frankel long occupied while becoming the runaway all-time leader in Turf Festival wins with 17.
Another homecoming story involves Stidham, who shipped Willcox Inn with exercise rider Alfredo Alvarado to Barn 54 South with Mike Puype. "It's always fun to come back," said Stidham. "I started training in Florida, but within a year moved to California. This is basically where my career began from 1980 to the early 1990's." Stidham moved to Northern California before relocating in 1994 to the Midwest, where he still retains a circuit between Chicago, New Orleans and Kentucky.
Willcox Inn, to be ridden by Robbie Albarado, figures to be one of the favorites on the strength of victories in the American Derby and Hawthorne Derby. "This is a race we had been looking at for quite a while if he ran well in the Hawthorne Derby," said Stidham.
Willcox Inn, named after a historical hotel in Aiken, S.C., is a Kentucky-bred son of Harlan's Holiday and will have a new co-owner for the Derby. Roy and Gretchen Jackson's Lael Stable, which won the 2006 Hollywood Derby with Showing Up, bought a 50 per cent interest from previous owner All In Stable, a large partnership.
"We have been high on him from the start," said Stidham. "He won his first start with Animal Kingdom second and finished third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf two races later."
English invaders Western Aristocrat and Slumber, who both cleared quarantine Friday, each worked three furlongs, although on different surfaces.
Western Aristocrat worked three furlongs on Cushion Track in 35.40 seconds under Wayne Tanner, assistant to trainer Jeremy Noseda. "He was happy," said Tanner of the colt who shipped to New York to win the Grade I Jamaica Handicap at Belmont in his last start.
Slumber breezed three furlongs on a turf course listed good in 38.40 seconds under exercise rider Heather Johnson to the satisfaction of foreman Geoff Snook. Trainer Charles Hills will be here to saddle the Juddmonte Farms colt before he is transferred to Bill Mott in Florida.
The probable Hollywood Derby lineup: Cloud Man (Mike Smith), Irish Art (Rafael Bejarano), Slumber (Garrett Gomez), Surrey Star (Chantal Sutherland), Western Aristocrat (Corey Nakatani), Ultimate Eagle (Martin Pedroza), Venomous (Joel Rosario), Cozy Kitten (Alonso Quinonez), Willcox Inn (Albarado), Imagining (Castellano) and Casino Host (Joe Talamo).
Never Retreat, with designs on an Eclipse Award, exercised on the turf course Wednesday for the $250,000 Matriarch Stakes Friday, a Grade I test for fillies and mares at one mile on grass.
"She just galloped and stretched her legs once around," said Arthur Coontz, assistant to trainer Chris Block, after the drill under exercise rider Sylvester Robles. "This was her first morning under tack.
"She shipped fine," said Coontz of the flight from Kentucky Monday and arrival in Barn 70 North with trainer Eoin Harty. Never Retreat, a 6-year-old mare by Smart Strike, has won five graded stakes this year, including the Grade I First Lady at Keeneland in her last start on October 8.
Gypsy's Warning, who won the Matriarch last year for trainer H. Graham Motion, was joined in Barn 53 North by stablemates Summer Soiree and Unbridled Humor, who were flown west Tuesday from Motion's training center in Fair Hill, Md., by Fed Ex from Newark, N.J. Gypsy's Warning arrived here by the same route Thursday.
"All three were on the track this morning: Summer Soiree and Gypsy's Warning to gallop and Unbridled Humor to jog," said Alice Clapham, assistant to Motion. "I can't remember Graham ever having three in a Grade I before."
Unbridled Humor drew post one, Summer Soiree post two and Gypsy's Warning post five in a field of nine. Never Retreat drew post eight.
Larry Benavidez, assistant to trainer John Sadler, hopes to dismiss the last outing by Calimonco, entered in the $250,000 Citation Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on turf Saturday.
"We're at a loss to explain his last race; it was a big disappointment," said Benavidez Wednesday in reference to a seventh-place finish, beaten by 16 lengths, in the Oak Tree Mile on October 8.
Calimonco looked like a horse on the stakes rise after his previous two starts: a victory in the Wickerr Stakes and a game third-place finish in the Del Mar Mile, both on the Del Mar turf.
Calimonco, a royally-bred 5-year-old horse by Storm Cat out of the Kris S. mare Sweet Life, is a full brother to Breeders' Cup winners Sweet Catomine and Life Is Sweet.
A homebred owned by Pam and Marty Wygod, Calimonco drew the rail in a field of nine and will be ridden for the first time by Mike Smith in the Citation. Oak Tree Mile winner Jeranimo, the probable favorite, drew post two with Garrett Gomez under high weight of 122 pounds.
Trainer Mike Mitchell is mixing with elite company these days. Joining Charlie Whittingham in second place for Hollywood Park wins with 859 last week, the 63-year-old conditioner has only Frankel ahead of him at 952.
Mitchell is flattered to be mentioned with either of the late Hall of Famers. "Charlie was such a great horseman and such a neat guy, but I think Bobby was the greatest horseman I have ever seen," said Mitchell Wednesday.
"I remember when I was getting started here working for Farrell Jones, we had an unbelievable meet here and won 52 races, but Bobby won something like 60," recalled Mitchell.
"They were both great horsemen," continued Mitchell. "Charlie bringing Cougar (II) back off a year's layoff to win the Santa Anita Handicap was really something. I wouldn't say that I patterned myself after Bobby, but I watched the way he did things more closely."
Mitchell seeks his first victory in the $100,000 Vernon Underwood Stakes Saturday with a pair of entrants—Pacific Ocean and Carbonite—in a field of nine.
Joss Saville, assistant to trainer Michael Matz, rewarded Assateague with a sweet in her stall in Barn 53 North Wednesday in preparation for the $100,000 Miesque Stakes Friday.
"She loves her sweets," said Saville after the filly exercised on the main track for the second morning following her arrival Monday. She was shipped from Florida to Kentucky and flown here.
Assateague, named after an island inhabited by wild horses off the Virginia coast, drew post six in a field of eight and will be ridden by Julien Leparoux, who guided her to a maiden score at Keeneland October 26.
Also on the flight was More Than Love, a maiden winner at Belmont for John Terranova, who was stabled in Barn 61 North with Bob Baffert.
English invader Island Paradise, victorious in one of two starts for trainer Charles Hills, drew the rail in the Miesque. She got a feel of the turf Wednesday morning and will remain here with Paddy Gallagher after the Miesque.
Blue White Fire, an Irish invader for the $100,000 Generous Stakes for 2-year-olds Sunday, worked three furlongs on Cushion Track in 35.80 seconds Wednesday.
"He breezed nicely," said Jeff Hughes, assistant to trainer Dermot Weld. "He was in good form. He was in hand."
Blue White Fire, victorious in one of four starts in Ireland, finished fifth in the Group II Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at one mile on a heavy Curragh course on September 25.
"He needs firm going," said Hughes. Garrett Gomez will ride the colt in the Grade III test at one mile on grass. Other probable starters include Battle Force (Mike Smith), Handsome Mike (Rafael Bejarano), Major Magic (Joe Talamo), Senor Rain (Martin Garcia) and Stoney Fleece (Joel Rosario).
Major Magic worked five furlongs on turf in 1:01.40 for trainer Neil Drysdale.
FINISH LINES—Trainer Robert Holthus, who shipped Pure Clan out to win the 2008 American Oaks here, died Tuesday of an apparent heart attack in Louisville at age 77. A memorial is scheduled Saturday at Churchill Downs for Holthus, a fixture on the Midwest circuit for nearly 60 years…Euroears will carry high weight of 126 pounds in the Vernon Underwood Stakes Saturday, the stakes-record highweight carried to victory last year by Cost of Freedom. Comebacking Comma to the Top blew out three furlongs in 35.60 for the Underwood, in which he drew post six in a field of nine…Trainer Bob Baffert, who has won a record four Hollywood Prevue Stakes, seeks number five Thursday with So Brilliant in the Grade III test for 2-year-olds at seven furlongs…First post Thursday is 11 a.m…The first Friday matinee of the meet follows with a 12:30 post.

2012 Toyota Prius C: New Car Review Video
In its ongoing efforts to bring hybrid cars into the mainstream, Toyota has introduced the value-priced 2012 Toyota Prius C.
Smaller than a regular Prius and with better fuel economy, the Prius C can get better than 50 miles per gallon and has a starting price under $20,000. That's a winning combination in these frugal times.
Of course, there are some trade-offs. The Prius C takes a hit in the power department, and its Yaris-based suspension gives a ride quality that's not up to the usual Prius standards.
But keep in mind that, the letter "C" in the Prius C stands for "city." So it's easy to park, turns on a dime and has hatchback convenience for shopping trips. But it might not be so good on those long hauls.
In typical Prius fashion, the Prius C's four trims are numbered -- in this case, One, Two, Three and Four.
The One feels pretty basic, but don't discount the One's power accessories, automatic climate control and iPod/USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
But the Entune smart phone-based mobile app interface in the Three or Four is really way too cool to pass up. Using your smart phone data connection, you can send mobile apps to the car's touchscreen interface. We also like the push-button start, and you have to step up to at least the Three for that.
One thing that really surprised us: the back seat. There's a lot more room than we expected -- it's just a little tight on the knees.
The Prius C is not a pocket rocket by any stretch. For a vehicle weighing just 2,500 pounds, it's pretty darned slow.
But speed is not the point here. Its hybrid system combines a 73 horsepower 1.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 horsepower electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride battery. Altogether you get just 99 horsepower going to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. Not a lot of power but some pretty awesome fuel economy.
And for that, the Prius C gets top marks. Its EPA city rating tops the regular Prius by a couple of miles per gallon. And there's an EV mode that let's you drive using just the electric motor at very low speeds.
The low pricing works for us, too. The Prius C One starts at just $18,950. Move up to the top-of-the-line Four and the price rises to just over $23,000 -- a little less than the base price of the regular Prius.
And there are no worries about the hybrid-related components. They and the high-voltage battery are covered by a generous 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
The 2012 Toyota Prius C may not have as smooth a ride as the bigger Prius and Prius V, but it's definitely economical. This is a car that puts the word "affordable" right in front of the word "hybrid," making the low overall cost of ownership a big plus for any budget-conscious motorist.

17 March 1876
Misson (N of Sisteron), France
28 Jan 1954
Eyrenville, France
He became an astronomer in 1899 by accepting, out of curiosity, a position offered to him at Bordeaux. It was only three years earlier, in 1896, that Bordeaux was reconstituted as a university and given autonomy and state financing. Esclangon accepted a post at the university observatory but continued to work on mathematical topics for his doctorate. His doctoral thesis, published in the Annales de l'Observatoire de Bordeaux in 1904 was on quasi-periodic functions. Lévy writes in :
Quasi-periodic functions, newly introduced, constitute a remarkable class among the almost periodic functions. Esclangon elaborated a theory for these functions, studied their differentiation and integration, and examined the differential equations which allow them as coefficients. His doctoral thesis established a basis for their employment at a time when their role in mathematical physics was only beginning to be developed.
In Gaiduk shows how Esclangon anticipated many of Harald Bohr 's results on almost periodic functions.
As well as holding the position in the Observatory at Bordeaux, Esclangon taught mathematics in the Faculty of Science there from 1902. He became professor of astronomy at Strasbourg in 1919, having been appointed director of the Observatory there in the previous year. Then, from 1929 to 1944 he was director of the Observatory at Paris, again holding the position of professor of astronomy from 1930 to 1946.
The range of topics on which Esclangon worked during his career is quite remarkable. These include :
... pure mathematics, applied celestial mechanics, relativity, observational astronomy, instrumental astronomy, astronomical chronometry, aerodynamics, interior and exterior ballistics, and aerial and underwater acoustic detection.
In astronomy he worked on making observations more precise by improving astronomical instruments. He is particularly famous in this area for his brilliant ideas on improving the design of a transit instrument.
From 1914 he worked on ballistics as part of the war effort. His work in this area was aimed at locating the position of enemy guns. When a missile was fired there were two shock waves emitted, one being a spherical wave at the instant of firing which was centred at the position of the gun, while the other was a conical shock wave from the projectile. By 1916 he had devised a method to calculate the position from which the projectile was fired very accurately allowing enemy gun locations to be targeted.
In 1933, using an astronomical calculation of time, he started the 'talking clock' telephone service in Paris. This work was carried out in his role as Director of the Bureau International de l'Heure which he held from 1929 to 1944.
Esclangon was honoured with election to the Académie des Sciences in 1939 and the Bureau des Longitudes in 1932.
Lévy writes in :
He assumed his official functions with simplicity and amiability; he was affable and loved to joke, and did not deny himself leisure time. It would almost seem that he accomplished his body of important work without effort.
This is even more remarkable when one realises that during his career he wrote 247 scientific papers.

Department of Bioorganic Chemistry
In the department of Bioorganic Chemistry we study defense mechanisms of plants and insects and their interaction on various levels. Modern analytical and molecular methods are employed to identify signals from herbivores and microorganisms and initiated events related to stress recognition by the plant e.g interactions in the network of phytohormones. Novel methods of Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry are used to study the induction of pathways during infection and herbivore damage. The studies are supported by synthetic approaches towards signaling compounds and their analogs. The production of defensive secretions of leaf beetles is studied to gain information on the biosynthesis, regulation and evolution of these defensive strategies. We focus on the analysis of the molecular basis of the uptake of plant-derived precursors and their transformation into compounds for the insects communication and defense. The biosynthetic potential of insects is probably strongly enhanced by their commensal gut bacteria or by endosymbionts. A new research focus addresses insect-typical biosynthesis of plant-defense elicitors or the detoxification of plant toxins with special emphasis on the participation of gut bacteria.
Project Groups in the Department of Bioorganic Chemistry
The beetle species Coleoptera is threatened by a lot of different animals like mammals, birds and other insects, and have developed different mechanical and chemical strategies to defend themselves. We are interested in how larvae could develop new chemical defensive compounds. We try to explain the consequences of de novo synthesis and sequestration of these compounds. more »
The interaction of plants with deleterious organisms such as herbivorous insects is the main topic of this group. The plants' recognition of the aggressor, subsequent signal transduction, and initiation of direct and indirect defences are investigated on molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels. The analysis of the digestion fluid in carnivorous plants is another topic under investigation. more »
Volkswagen Foundation Research Group:
The main research focus of our group is to understand the dynamic processes underlying adaptive evolution of organisms to their biotic and abiotic environment. Tractable microbial laboratory populations are used to study evolution experimentally on both a genetic and phenotypic level. more »

While buying a sleek new coupe might sound like a dream, you may be surprised to find some of today's best models are within your reach. We've listed the top coupe deals and incentives on a few of our favorites in our latest list.
BMW 4 Series
The BMW 4 Series is the all-new replacement for the brand's sporty 3 Series Coupe. Even though the 4 Series only recently reached dealers, it's already available with a few incentives from BMW. One is a lease deal. Through the end of the month, shoppers can lease a 2014 428i for 36 months with payments from $439 per month -- or just $80 per month more than the 328i sedan. The only catch: To take advantage, shoppers must put down $3,914 at lease signing. For those who would rather finance, BMW is offering 2.99 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 4 Series models.
Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro is a sporty, retro-themed 2-door offered as a coupe or a convertible. The best deals in December are on the coupe, largely because of a new lease deal for the V6-powered 2014 Camaro LS. That deal, offered through the end of the month, touts payments from just $229 per month for 36 months after $2,499 down at lease signing. Other December incentives include up to $500 cash back on 2014 models or $1,500 back on the 2013 Camaro, and interest rates starting at 0 percent on all 2013 Camaro models for up to 48 months.

Dodge Challenger
The Dodge Challenger is a retro-themed, rear-wheel-drive coupe with four seats and bold styling. In December, it's offered with a few incentives for drivers looking to get the best deal they can. On the 2013 Challenger, that means interest rates as low as 1.9 percent for up to 72 months -- a deal that changes to 0.9 percent for 36 months on the 2014 model. Drivers can also lease a 2014 Challenger for $329 per month for 39 months after $2,999 down at signing, or get up to $1,000 cash back on any 2014 Challenger model.

Honda Accord Coupe
The Honda Accord Coupe offers drivers a sleeker, sportier alternative to the practical, dependable Accord sedan. In December, it also offers several special offers for shoppers interested in a good deal on a sporty new model. For those looking to finance, Honda has two offers available: 0.9 percent interest for up to 36 months on the 2014 Accord Coupe or 0.9 percent interest for up to 60 months on the 2013 model. For drivers who would rather lease, Honda is touting payments from $199 per month for 36 months on the 2013 Accord Coupe after $2,699 down -- a figure that climbs to $249 per month after $3,699 down on the 2014 model.
Scion FR-S
The Scion FR-S is a sporty 2-door coupe that's been highly praised for its excellent handling and athleticism. In December, it's finally available with an incentive -- something that many car lovers have undoubtedly been waiting for since the coupe first reached the market. The offer is a lease deal, and it includes a 36-month term. Drivers who want to take advantage must put down $1,999 at signing, at which point they'll be rewarded with a $296 per month payment and $500 bonus cash. Of course, they'll also be rewarded with the car's legendary on-road abilities.
What it means to you: Our list of coupe deals proves that a sleek new car may be closer than you think.

Favorite Finds: Let There Be Light (and Fire)
Sometimes seeing is believing, which is why I enjoy shows like Dwell on Design. Reading about a beautiful object is one thing, but actually experiencing it in person is a lot more convincing -- or not. Now that I'm back in Seattle, I finally had a chance to take another look at everything I saw in L.A. this weekend. Up first: lighting and fireplaces.
Images 1-2: My heart went pitter-patter when I peeped these outdoor fireplaces from Modfire. Talk about retro appeal. I think these fireplaces, with their clean lines and bright colors, might just replace my obsession with Malm.
Images 3-4: David Trubridge's kitset lighting has gotten a lot of ink in recent years, especially the spherical Coral light. What I didn't realize is that the designer's "seed system" means that now, even his largest lighting fixtures can be shipped as kitsets in tiny, flat packages. Trubridge's bamboo plywood lights make a modern statement, from the illuminated painted interiors to the intricate shadows cast on the ceiling and walls. (Photo 4: David Trubridge)
Images 5-6: My in-person photos didn't turn out, but I was really impressed by the three-man team behind Cerno, an industrial design company specializing in LED lights. One of the founders, architect Nick Sheridan, humbly explained that his favorite new product is the Cubo. Made of a solid walnut body, the bedside fixture has an aluminum arm that can be extended, transforming it from a sconce to a focused reading light. Photos: Cerno.
Images 7-8: I love fireplaces, but hate the idea of cutting a vent into my ceiling to accommodate one. While Brasa's ventless fireplaces might be a bit sleek for my space, I dig the idea and appearance of their products. (They actually make an insert if I already had an existing hearth, which I don't.) For a product I thought was pure show, the fireplace on display threw off an admirable amount of heat. Brasa's Bill Price told me the company's products run on "moonshine" -- or clean, renewable bioethanol fuel, if we're being exact. You can even add bottled fragrance to the burner. Photo 6: Brasa.

The Company was founded by Pinin Farina in 1930 and until the Fourties it concentrated on the design and craftsman construction of special car bodies, with innovative styling and technical features for individual customers or in a small production runs. Those were the years of the Alfa Romeo 8 and 6 cylinders, the Hispano Suiza Coupé, the Lancia Dilambda and Astura, the Fiat Ardita and the revolutionary aerodynamic Lancia Aprilia Coupé.
After the difficult war years, 1947 was the year of the Cisitalia, the first car to be on permanent display in a modern art museum, the MOMA in New York.
In the early Fifties, Pininfarina gave expression to a strong international vocation ahead of its time, cooperating in design and manufacture with the American car maker Nash, and entering into a cooperation agreement with Peugeot that was destined to strengthen over the years to the present day; 1952 also marked the start of cooperation with Ferrari, whose continuity has been extremely important in technical, stylistic and image terms.
In the second half of the Fifties Pininfarina began high run production (27,000 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spiders) for industrial customers, and transferred its headquarters from Turin to Grugliasco, under the guidance of the Founder's son Sergio Pininfarina and son in low Renzo Carli. Manufacturing structures were strengthened, and the cooperation agreements with various car makers (Peugeot, Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Ferrari) were consolidate in the Sixties as the Company acquired an industrial dimension.
This period saw the birth among others of the great Ferrari Berlinettas, the Florida prototypes and the Lancia Flaminia, the Austin A40, the Morris 1100, safety research vehicles, the Alfa Romeo Duetto, the Fiat 124 Spieder, the Peugeot 404 and 504, the Dino Fiat and the Dino Ferrari.
Reorganisation and diversification.
In 1966, after the Founder death, Sergio Pininfarina became Chairman and continued the organisational and technological renewal of the Company: the Experimental Department, responsible for Pininfarina styling activities, developed further and the Studies and Research Centre was created. The concept cars of those years underlined the vivacity and innovation of the Pininfarina creative team: the Dino Berlinetta Speciale, the Ferrari 365 P, P5, 512S, Modulo and CR25, the BMC 1800 and 1100 Berlinettas, the Alfa Romeo P33 and Alfetta and the Jaguar XJs.
The Calculation and Design Centre was set up in 1967, the first step in a process of technological evolution which, during the Seventies, would take Pininfarina into the lead in automated bodywork design. The construction of a full size Wind Tunnel for aerodynamic research in 1972 was the first in Italy and one of only a few in the world at the time. It represented a far-sighted, courageous investment in a period of social and economic crisis all over the world.
The vehicles that appeared in those years included the Ferrari Daytona, Berlinetta boxer and 308, 365 GT/4 and its later evolutions, the 400 and 412, the Fiat 130 Coupé, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the Lancia Gamma Saloon and Coupé.
The evolution of Pininfarina, by sectors of activity, led to the creation in 1979 of an Industrial Group held by a Holding Company, Pininfarina S.p.A., responsible for coordinating the financial activities and image of the various subsidiaries: the largest operating Company, Industrie Pininfarina S.p.A., has been working in the field of engineering, industrialization and production, and in 1981 also began to assemble mechanical parts on the body, as well as complete vehicles (complete mechanicals of the Fiat Campagnola, and then of the Spider Europa and Alfa Romeo 33 Station Wagon).
In 1981, the Studies and Research Centre became Pininfarina Studi e Ricerche S.p.A., with an indipendent operating structure and a fast growing number of customers.
They included the CNR (the Italian National Research Council), with which the Company has been cooperating closely since 1978 on specific transport and energy saving projects, and the Honda Company of Japan, with which a creative cooperation agreement has been in existence since the Seventies.
The Company operates in the traditional field of automotive design, but also in the wider field of means of transport, with particular emphasis on diversification in the nautical and public transport fields.
From stock exchange listing to technological renewal.
In 1986, Pininfarina S.p.A. entered the financial markets by way of a Stock Exchange quotation, and Pininfarina Extra s.r.l. was created, an affilated Company dedicated specifically to product design.
Pininfarina undertook a number of important investments (a new manufacturing plant in San Giorgio Canavese, new process and product technologies), and production of the Ferrari Testarossa (later the 512 TR), the Alfa Romeo Spider, the Lancia Thema Station Wagon and the Peugeot 205 Cabriolet was joined by that of the Cadillac Allanté.
At the same time the design and engineering sector expanded and diversified, and the production of significant styling prototypes and technical and scientific research continued.
In the Eighties the Ferrari Pinin, the Audi Quartz, the Honda HPX, the Peugeot Griffe, the Alfa Romeo Vivace Coupé and Spider, the Lancia Hit and the Ferrari Mythos were all presented at International Motor Shows.
The Company continued to provide styling consultancy services to noumerous manufacturers, for the Peugeot 205 Saloon and Cabriolet, 405 and 106, the Alfa Romeo 164, the Ferrari GTO, Testarossa, F40, 348 TB and TS.
Pininfarina Deutschland Gmbh was set up in 1991, to operate in the German market in the field of car engineering, tooling and model making.
New research prototypes were developed in the Nineties, many of them directed at tackling energy and environmental problems: the CNR E2, GM Chronos, the Ethos of 1992, the Ethos 2 of 1993, the Ethos 3 of 1994 and the Ethos 3 EV of 1995, Honda Argento Vivo of 1995, Fiat Sing and Song and CNR Eta Beta of 1996, Peugeot Nautilus of 1997, Alfa Romeo Dardo of 1998, Wish and Metrocubo of 1999.
Designed activities in cooperation with manufacturers produced the Ferrari 512 TR, 456 GT 2+2, the Peugeot 306 Cabriolet, the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, F355 Spider and F50, the Alfa Romeo Spider and GTV, the Ferrari 550 Maranello and 456M , the Peugeot 406 Coupé and Saloon and the Ferrari 360 Modena.
Between 1992 and 1994 the range manufactured by Pininfarina was completely renewed with four new models: the Ferrari 456 GT, the Coupé Fiat, the Peugeot 306 Cabriolet and the Bentley Azure. Production of the Lancia k Station Wagon was added in 1996.
In the 1997 an industrial agreement was announced with the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation for the production, in the new Pininfarina plant in Bairo Canavese, Italy, of about 30,000 units a year of the Pajero Pinin, the new Sport Utility Vehicle for the Japanese Company destined to the European market, joining in 1999 Pininfarina's production range, which also includes: the Bentley Azure, the Coupé Fiat, the Lancia k Station Wagon, the Peugeot 306 Cabriolet and 406 Coupé.
In an increasingly competitive world market, Pininfarina has equipped itself with the structures, dimensions and capabilities required for an efficient and flexible response to the market's new challenges. Today the Group can offer its motor manufacturing clients a comprehensive service that covers the design development and manufacture of complete cars or car components, as its customers may require. Pininfarina confirms that it is a competitive industrial company with a proven capacity for growth while retaining and indeed building on its traditions, its product culture and its commitment to quality in design technology and construction.
In 2000, at the 70th Geneva International Motor Show, Pininfarina displayed four world debuts: Ferrari 360 Spider, Daewoo Tacuma, Coupé Fiat Special Interpretation (expressly conceived for such a significant market as the German one) and Peugeot 406 Coupé 'Pininfarina settant'anni', a special creative interpretation designed to celebrate Pininfarina's 70th birthday that went into production in a numbered limited edition during that year.
Still in 2000, at the Turin Motor Show, Pininfarina's 70 years in the business were furthermore celebrated by two important events: the world preview of the 'rossa' research prototype, a two-seater spider on Ferrari 550 Maranello mechanicals, and an international forum 'On the Roads of the Future'.
At the Paris International Motor Show 2000, the 550 Barchetta, to which Ferrari has given the name Pininfarina for the first time on the occasion of the Company's 70th anniversary, was presented at the Mondial de L'Automobile 2000 in Paris.
In September, three new models went into production: Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin 5 door, Alfa Romeo Spider and GTV.
2001 to the present - Today, the services company.
Pininfarina is currently involved in a huge and demanding modernisation project. It is developing new skills in the attempt to reposition the Company in an ever more competitive market. Today, the Company is extending its range from its traditional design/manufacturing business where Pininfarina has always excelled into the world of design engineering and development.
The aim is to create a flexible services Company able to operate in every sector of the automotive industry.
In January 2001 made its debut the Hyundai Matrix, a two-box sedan designed by Pininfarina.
In 2001 Pininfarina presented two new concepts: the Osée, based on Citroën mechanicals, that was voted the 'Best Concept' among the Editors' Choice Awards assigned by the prestigious American magazine AutoWeek, and the Start, realised on Ford mechanicals and technology, in homage to the new collaboration with Ford Europe GmbH, based on which Pininfarina cures, in 2001 and 2002, the engineering of the Ford StreetKa for its successive production in the own plants to leave from 2003.
Still in 2001 Pininfarina S.p.A. increased its interest in Pininfarina Extra S.r.l. from 20% to full control, thereby achieving a complete organisational and operating integration of the industrial design activities for all market segments wih the exception of means of transport.
In parallel, in order to emphasise the new strategy of the Pininfarina Group that widens the services offered to the OEMs from the field of style and niche production to the world of engineering, becoming therefore one of the few full service partner on the market, in January 2002 Pininfarina Studi e Ricerche S.p.A. changed its own corporate name into Pininfarina Ricerca e Sviluppo S.p.A.
And more: consistent with the new strategy of acting on the market as a Full Service Provider, on January 10 2002 Pininfarina and Webasto announced the founding of Open Air Systems GmbH, a 50-50 joint-venture set up between the 2 Companies to design, engineer and produce retractable roof systems.
In 2002 the Ferrari 575M Maranello, the front-engined berlinetta with superlative technical and performance content, made its debut and the Founder Battista 'Pinin' Farina entered the European Automotive Hall of Fame, an institution established last year by the prestigious motoring magazine Automotive News Europe in order to honour the men who have made automobile history.
The styling/engineering cooperation with the Chinese Company Hafei, started in 1996 (styling, design and engineering of the Zhongyi minivan) and become more and more important in 2001 with the signing of a second and third contract (for styling and engineering of the Lobo city car and for styling, design, prototyping and testing of yet another new vehicle with European homologation standard), was celebrated by the exhibition at the 2002 Beijing Motor Show of a concept, the HF Fantasy, a sporting and top class saloon which reinterprets and develops some strong themes from the Lobo to
achieve a Hafei brand identity.
2002 also signed the debut of a new extraordinary Ferrari, the Enzo, a limited edition supercar which, in line with the previous F40 and F50, expressed the supreme transfer of technology from F1 to Ferrari GT road cars.
Still in 2002 Pininfarina, which has turned out an average of about 30,000 units a year in the last ten years, began production of the Ford StreetKa, also taking responsibility for product and process engineering. The 2002 production range also includes the Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider, the Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin 3 and 5-door and the Peugeot 406 Coupé.
On October 14 2002 Pininfarina inaugurated the new Engineering Centre. It stands in 12,000 sq.m. over 6,000 sq.m. of which is built on, and enhances Pininfarina capabilities, enabling the Company to offer engineering services on the market alongside its traditional styling and design skills. From 2002, a total of 500 leading Pininfarina specialists are dedicated to automotive design, engineering and industrialisation, a fundamental part of the development of a new product, between the creative stage and the manufacturing one.
On November 2002, to confirm the growth of Pininfarina's engineering operations, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Volvo Car Corporation to develop a new car for the Swedish carmaker. Starting from the Volvo Cars' styling definition, Pininfarina is responsible for the entire project and it supplies all product and process engineering, prototyping and testing services.
The new four-door GM - Daewoo Nubira saloon, designed by Pininfarina, made its debut at the Seoul Motor Show 2002, enhancing the cooperation with the Korean manufacturer started with the styling of the compact MPV Tacuma in 2000.
On March 2003, at the Geneva International Motor Show, Pininfarina presented the 'Enjoy' concept car. This small roadster, built on a Lotus powertrain, can be configured for use both on the racetrack and on the road. AutoWeek, a prestigious U.S. magazine, named the Enjoy Most Fun Car. Still in Geneva made its world debut the new Alfa Romeo Spider and GTV designed and built by Pininfarina in its plants.
In August 2003 Pininfarina S.p.A. closed agreement, with Lagardère SCA group, on purchase of Matra Automobile's engineering, testing and prototyping businesses.
At the 60th Frankfurt International Motor Show the Maserati Quattroporte, designed by Pininfarina, made its world debut. This car will mark the return of an Italian brand to the exclusive universe of luxury saloon models.
In September 2003 Pininfarina S.p.A. and Volvo Car Corporation formed a joint venture (60% Pininfarina, 40% Volvo Car Corporation) with the aim to develop and manufacture Volvo's next generation convertible. The new company, Pininfarina Sverige AB, will be responsible for all operations at the Uddevalla plant, including project management, process engineering, prototyping and testing services.

Baskerville, Charles
18 July 1870–28 Jan. 1922
Charles Baskerville, chemist and college professor, was born in Deerbrook, Noxubel County, Miss., the son of Charles Baskerville, a physician and former Confederate Army captain, and his wife, Augusta Johnson. The family traced its origins to Charles Baskerville of Mecklenburg County, Va., a Continental army officer during the American Revolution. A cousin, William W. Baskerville (1850–99), was a noted professor of English at Vanderbilt University (1881–89).
Baskerville's father distinguished himself in treating the sick during the yellow fever epidemics at Memphis, Tenn., in 1876 and 1879; he died of pneumonia contracted in the course of the latter epidemic. Baskerville grew up in his maternal grandparents' home in Columbus, Miss., where he worked part-time as a printer's devil. After a varied academic career, including studies in local Columbus schools, two years at the University of Mississippi, and specialty courses at the University of Virginia (1890) and Vanderbilt (1890–91), he entered The University of North Carolina, from which he was graduated with a B.S. degree in 1892.
Baskerville's undergraduate record at Chapel Hill was brilliant. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, the Gimghouls, and Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, he was also president of the powerful University Athletic Association and first editor of the student newspaper, the Tar Heel. In his spare time he was fullback and manager of the Carolina football squads of 1892, 1893, and 1894.
After an intensive summer course in chemistry at the University of Berlin (1893), Baskerville returned to Chapel Hill to complete his graduate work under Francis Preston Venable; in 1894 he received a doctorate for his dissertation, A Comparison of the Methods of Estimation and Separation of Zirconium. Within the next decade, he advanced rapidly in the university hierarchy, serving successively as assistant in the chemical laboratory (1891–93), instructor in chemistry (1893–94), assistant professor of chemistry (1894–98), and associate professor of chemistry (1898–1900). In 1900, upon Venable's succession to the presidency, Baskerville became chairman of the chemistry department, Smith Professor of General and Analytic Chemistry (after 1902, Smith Professor of General and Industrial Chemistry), and director of the chemical laboratory, all of which positions he held until 1904. From 1901 onward, he was also staff chemist for the North Carolina State Geological Survey.
During this period, Baskerville continued his research, concentrating on a study of the rare earths thorium, lanthanum, praseodymium, and neodymium and the rare metals titanium and zirconium. This work was climaxed in 1903, when Baskerville announced the discovery of two previously unknown chemical elements, which he named "carolinium" and "berzelium." Though refuted by later research, these claims were sufficiently respected by his contemporaries to earn him an invitation to join the faculty of the City College of New York, which he accepted in 1904.
From 1904 onward, Baskerville served as professor of chemistry at City College and as director of its chemical laboratories, succeeding D. O. Doremus. In these capacities, he completely reorganized his department, designed new laboratory facilities, and acted as a consultant to the city, state, and federal governments in such fields as wood alcohol regulation and school and factory ventilation. At the same time, his personal research shifted from pure science to such applied fields as the manufacture and use of surgical anaesthetics, refinement of vegetable oil, recovery of shale oil, and recycling of paper. As chairman of the American Chemical Society's Committee on Occupational Diseases, he was among the first scientists to study seriously the problem of industry-related illnesses.
A member (1894) and fellow (1898) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Baskerville served as secretary of its chemical section (1898), secretary of the association's council (1899), and vice-president and section secretary (1903); he was also a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Electrochemical Society, the Washington Academy of Science, the New York Academy of Science, the Franklin Institute, and several other scientific associations.
The author of six books and over two hundred scientific papers, Baskerville also wrote extensively on scientific topics for such popular journals as Science and Review of Reviews.
On 24 Apr. 1895, Baskerville married Mary Boykin Shaw* (1872–1957) of Raleigh. The couple had two children: Charles, Jr. (b. 1896), a popular New York commercial artist, portrait-painter, and muralist; and Elizabeth Snow.
Baskerville died at his home in New York and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh.

Very interesting article. I
Very interesting article. I would like to point out a small error at the end regarding Charles Baskerville's wife, who was my grandfather's older sister, Mary Boylan Snow, not Mary Boykin Shaw. Here is a link to a page about her on the Find a Grave website:
Their daughter Elizabeth McCulloch Baskerville was named after Mary's mother, Elizabeth McCulloch Boylan Snow.
Dear Mr. Snow,
Dear Mr. Snow,
Thank you for sharing this information with us. We will add a note just below the article pointing out this information.
Mike Millner, NC Government & Heritage Library
I enjoyed this article so
I enjoyed this article so much. I knew that he was Charles the artist's father and that he taught at UNC, Chpel Hill. I knew that he had studied or had attended lectures by Madame Curie. I had only looked up one of his books at Wilson Library at UNC. This article really helped me get to know about this relative. My mother and I got to visit Charles Junior once when he was in his 90s in New York.

Summer has finally started over here - for real this time, I hope, as I would like to wear this pretty flower on my dress.
I still sound like Marianne Faithfull on a really bad day. I hope my voice will be back by Saturday, because that's when we'll be having M.'s birthday party here at home with her friends.
Birthday party means birthday cake, which means baking. She knows exactly which cake she wants. She liked that cake after all - the whipped cream she'd put plenty of on top made it really rich - the next day she ate it without the cream and loved it...
H.'s birthday falls during summer vacation. All the summer birthdays will be celebrated in class on Friday...which means baking. The first batch of chocolate chip cookies is cooling - one more batch to go.
And on Monday, M. has her end-of-year "spectacle" at school followed by a "goûter" for the kids and their parents, ...which means even more baking.
I guess I know where I'll be spending the next couple of days...
How about you?

I didn't read a word of it. Looked at the size and laughed. The NBA isn't a topic where you have much relevant to say. I would read a novel on Golf or another topic where you know what you're talking about.
Say what you will, I still know you read it. If Kobe was shooting 40 %, you'd definitely say something. However, since you like Rose, you completely gloss over the fact that he's jacking up shots (particularly from the 3 point line) and keep screaming MVP for him even louder.
Oh but wait, he shoots so fucking often that he makes some.
Nice March madness thread. VCU shocks Kansas and we get a LeBron vs Rose debate. Tight.
Eat shit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There is "very little doubt" that a chemical weapon was used by Syria against civilians in an incident that killed at least 100 people last week, but the president has not yet decided how to respond, a senior administration official said Sunday.
The official said the U.S. intelligence community based its assessment, which was given to the White House, on "the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured" and witness accounts.
The official said the White House believes the Syrian government had denied a U.N. investigative team immediate access to the site of a reported Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs, in order to give the evidence of the attack time to degrade.
The official said the regime's continuing shelling of the site also further corrupts any available evidence of the attack.
On Sunday morning, Syrian State TV announced Bashar Assad's government would allow U.N. inspectors to visit the site — a statement later confirmed by the U.N. The mission "is preparing to conduct on-site fact-finding activities'" on Monday, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Sunday in a statement.
But the Obama administration official said a belated decision to grant access to the U.N. team would be considered "too late to be credible."
The official insisted on anonymity because of lack of authorization to speak publicly about the developments.
The reported Syrian assent came several days after Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, one of the highest-level contacts between the two governments since the conflict began more than two years ago.
Kerry had warned the Syrian government that it needed to give the inspectors immediate and unimpeded access to the site "rather than continuing to attack the affected area to block access and destroy evidence," according to a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak on the record.
Last Wednesday's purported chemical attack in the Damascus suburb of eastern Ghouta has prompted U.S. naval forces to move closer to Syria. President Barack Obama met with his national security team Saturday to assess the intelligence and consider a U.S. military response, almost a year after warning the Bashar Asad government that the use of chemical weapons was a "red line" for the U.S.
The White House had concluded previously that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons in limited incidents, but last week's attack is suspected of being the deadliest single incident of a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people since March 2011.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Thursday that a chemical attack "appears to be what happened."
Republican Sen. Bob Corker called Sunday for the U.S. to respond in a "surgical and proportional way, something that gets their attention." The Tennessee lawmaker said such a response should not involve U.S. troops on the ground, however.
"I think we have to respond...in conjunction with our NATO allies...much as we have done in Libya," Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., added. He suggested using cruise missile strikes to destroy Syrian airport runways. "We cannot sit still. We've got to move and we've got to move quickly," he said.
Engel and Corker spoke on "Fox News Sunday."
The White House has approved limited lethal aid to Syrian rebels but has limited weapons to mostly small arms and training. Obama described the factors limiting greater U.S. involvement in a CNN interview.
"If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it — do we have the coalition to make it work?" Obama said in the interview broadcast Friday. "Those are considerations that we have to take into account."
Hagel offered no hints Sunday about likely U.S. response to Syria's purported use of chemical weapons, telling reporters traveling with him in Malaysia that the Obama administration was still assessing intelligence information about the deadly attack.
"When we have more information, that answer will become clear," he said when a reporter asked whether it was a matter of when, not if, the U.S. will take military action against Syria.
Asked about U.S. military options on Syria, Hagel spoke in broad terms about the factors Obama is weighing.
"There are risks and consequences for any option that would be used or not used — for action or inaction," he told reporters. "You have to come to the central point of what would be the objective if you are to pursue an action or not pursue an action. So all those assessments are being made."
If the U.S. wants to send a message to Assad, defense officials have previously indicated the most likely military action would be a Tomahawk missile strike, launched from a ship in the Mediterranean.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a letter to a congressman last week that the administration opposes even limited action in Syria because it believes rebels fighting the Assad government wouldn't support American interests if they seized power. He said while the U.S. military could take out Assad's air force and shift the balance of the war toward the armed opposition, but that it's unclear where the strategy would go from there.
Dempsey is now in Amman, Jordan, set to meet with Arab and Western peers later Sunday to discuss ways to bolster the security of Syria's neighbors against possible attacks, chemical or other, by Assad's regime, a Jordanian security official said.
The meeting, closed to the press and held at an unspecified location, gathers chiefs of staff from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan, the official said on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to brief reporters.

Student Sculpture and Photography Exhibition Reception
April 27, 2014
Sunday, 4-6PM
"Work in Progress" documents an artists-in-residency project at Phillips Middle School in Chapel Hill. Artists Mark Elliott (sculptor) and Barbara Tyroler (photographer) collaborated with Phillips Middle School art students in the creation and documentation of a permanent outdoor sculpture to be installed on school grounds.
Students learned basic design and construction techniques of scale model building as they created maquettes of their own unique visions. The entire process was documented in photographs by Ms. Tyroler as well as the students themselves in collaboration with Ms. Tyroler.
Students, school and town administrators, art teacher Angela Greene and Mr. Elliott worked together to choose the final design and Mr. Elliott is in the process of fabricating the sculpture from plate steel. Installation on school grounds will take place in mid-May.

News: Faith
Benedict's Discomforting Message
"Benedict directly challenged an assumption so many Americans make about religion: that it is a matter of private devotion with few public implications. Not true, said the pope. 'Any tendency to treat religion as a private matter must be resisted,' he told the country's Catholic bishops Wednesday. 'Only when their faith permeates every aspect of their lives do Christians become truly open to the transforming power of the Gospel.' That is a demanding and unsettling standard for the right and the left alike... This is the thinking of a communitarian counseling against radical individualism... Perhaps it is the task of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church to bring discomfort to a people so thoroughly shaped by modernity, as we Americans are. If so, Benedict is succeeding." READ MORE >
