As someone who was a victim of autocorrect this morning, this hits really close to home. Granted, I wasn't telling someone that 'I lobe them', but it was still an unfortunate incident.
There is a song about nearly everything you could possibly sing about: cars, men, women, and even red cups. Why not create a song about iPhone autocorrect errors? It seems plausible to me.
Calling Justin Bieber or Lil Wayne. Time to start writing a new song!
What are some of your favorite lines from the song? I really enjoyed, "Baby Girl I wanna kill your lips". A romantic text can turn into a murder threat by changing just two simple letters.
No one realized how crucial proper spelling was until they iPhones came out.
Check out the video above and let us know how many of these autocorrects have happened to you in the comments below!

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Season 5: Was That the End of Klaus and Caroline?
Hold it now. Vampire Diaries spoilers for Season 5 from TVLine.
Klaus (Joseph Morgan) sure does know how to make an entrance. In The Vampire Diaries Season 4 finale, he marked his arrival by decapitated a witch with a flying mortar board.
Later, he and Caroline (Candice Accola) shared a moment, where the hybrid promised her boyfriend, Tyler (Michael Trevino), could return to Mystic Falls. He told her that while Tyler is her first love, he intends to be her last. Then he left for New Orleans again, to deal with his own baby business.
So was that the last Klaroline moment we'll see, or will there be some crossover action on The Originals? Julie Plec tells TVLine that Klaus has a long way to go if Caroline is ever to reciprocate his feelings. "Klaus has a long journey ahead of him. He's got a very, very, very long road toward being a redeemed character. He hasn't exactly been a peach," Julie points out. "Even when he does nice things for Caroline, they don't necessarily offset all the nasty things he's done to her and all her friends. So as Caroline grows up and goes to college and experience a new phase of her life, we'll see if she is still drawn to him and if he's making the kind of changes that make her want to have him in her life at all."
Looks like that chaste peck on the cheek will just have to tide Klaroline fans over for now.

Formerly known as BET on Jazz, BET Jazz, and BET J, and launched in September 1996, Centric is a spin-off cable television channel of BET, created originally to showcase jazz music-related programming, highlighting black jazz artists.
It's evolved over the years, eventually being rebranded by BET as Centric, in 2009, into what has essentially become a general interest channel targeted at African American adult audiences (compared to BET's targeted younger viewers - although that seems to be changing), with programming comprised primarily of music appreciation from across the Diaspora, as well as unscripted content and lots of old black TV shows like 227, The Cosby Show, The Jamie Foxx Show and many more.
And now it looks like Centric is being rebranded yet again by BET - this time as a black woman-focused network, starting with the pickup of the canceled VH1 drama series Single Ladies, as was announced this morning.
But don't take my word for it strictly; read the press release from the network below, where it states that it's growing into a premiere destination for African American women - a crown that I think Oprah Winfrey's OWN will argue belongs to them, given its announcement of what was its most-watched quarter in network history, delivering double-digit growth across all demos versus the previous quarter, including +47% African American Women 25-54, the fastest growing cable network for W25-54, and was the #1 cable network on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last quarter for African American women in 2014 (the battle for the African American woman's attention is underway. Read my piece on that matter HERE).
LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK – April 8, 2014 – Centric, BET Networks' 24-hour music and entertainment network, today unveiled an exclusive co-production deal with Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment to produce new content for the network. The production company, owned by Queen Latifah and her partner Shakim Compere, has quickly established itself, with #1 hits including The Perfect Holiday, Beauty Shop, Bringing Down The House and its first ever scripted romantic comedy "Let's Stay Together," which premiered with 4.4 million viewers on BET.
Centric's slate of programming has a particular appeal to the African American woman. This new partnership strengthens Centric's position as the network for the African American woman.
Flavor Unit Entertainment's #1 new talk show, The Queen Latifah Show will also begin airing in primetime on Centric. The Queen Latifah Show is a daytime, talk-variety series that showcases Queen Latifah's extraordinary range of talents as a global entertainment icon featuring chart-topping musical guests, celebrity interviews and everyday heroes who are changing lives in their local communities. The Queen Latifah Show is produced by Flavor Unit, Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television.
"We are thrilled to be working once again with Flavor Unit Entertainment and Queen Latifah. She does it all and we are happy to have her join us as a creative force as we continue to grow Centric into a premiere destination for African American women. We couldn't be more excited about what's ahead," said Debra L. Lee, BET Networks Chairman and CEO.
As part of the deal, BET Networks will develop and premiere an all-new Season 4 of the highly rated Single Ladies on Centric. This modern, romantic comedy series is set in the world of Atlanta fashion, music, and celebrity as best friends share their differing views on love, sex and relationships. Single Ladies asks the question: what do women really want?
"At more than 10 million strong, and in control of 20 billion dollars in buying power, the African American woman is an increasingly powerful, yet often overlooked consumer. No other network has embraced her with content designed specifically for her – until now," said Louis Carr, BET Networks President of Broadcast and Media Sales. "Centric is the first network to deliver the programming that celebrates, inspires and addresses her unique perspective."
Centric's popularity with African American audiences, most notably with African American women ages 25 to 54, continues to grow, with the network marking its most watched quarter in its history. For FY14 Q2 (Jan-Mar), Centric experienced its best quarter ever for Total Day and Primetime viewership, posting gains of +20 percent.
Centric announced the following programming at the BET Networks' Upfront presentation in Los Angeles:
• SINGLE LADIES: SEASON 4 – This modern, romantic comedy series is set in the world of Atlanta fashion, music, and celebrity where friends share differing views on love, sex and relationships.
• BEING – "Being" is a documentary series highlighting music and entertainment's most dynamic figures – and a place where the stars tell their own stories, in their own words. Featuring never before seen photos, videos, and revealing interviews, "Being" delivers a compelling inside look at the inspiring lives of the biggest names in music, media and more.
• ACCORDING TO HIM & HER – "According to Him & Her" approaches timely topics involving relationships, friendships, dating and sex in a "he said, she said" battle of the sexes. Every week an onslaught of comedians, relationship experts and surprise celebrities will engage in a series of questions resulting in a no-holds-barred banter giving audiences the opportunity to finally see how the other sex thinks from a comedic perspective.
• SOUL TRAIN AWARDS – The Hippest Trip In America keeps grooving forward. The iconic brand that defined a generation returns for 2014 with its signature awards show. Featuring never before-seen musical collaborations and powerful tributes from world-class performers, the Soul Train Awards brings you the most revered and promising voices in soul and R&B. The Soul Train Awards is simulcast on Centric and BET.
• CENTRIC COMEDY ALL-STARS – Bill Bellamy will host the third annual comedy event, honoring an industry icon. Some of the top names in comedy, plus the hottest comedians on the rise will make appearances during the show that is sure to keep you laughing.

By WAYLON GALVEZ
Manila, Philippines – Already one of the powerhouse teams in the PBA, Petron Blaze will even become stronger once the trade proposal that centers on rookie forward Marcio Lassiter of Powerade gets the approval from the league's Commissioner's Office.
Reliable sources confirmed yesterday that the Boosters and the Tigers consummated the trade last Friday with Lassiter joining the already talented roster of Petron in exchange for sophomores Noy Baclao and Rey Guevara from Powerade.
The trade proposal, according to a person who has knowledge with the talks, has been forwarded to Commissioner, Atty. Angelico "Chito" Salud for approval.
Salud is currently in Japan for a business trip and will return by Thursday.
The decision to ship the 6-foot2 Lassiter to Petron only add to woes to the team following reports that top offi cials of The Coca-Cola Company based in Atlanta is reselling the franchise to the San Miguel Corp. (SMC) last week.
Powerade is a brand of CocaCola.
The Bulletin tried to get the reaction of JB Baylon, Powerade's representative to the PBA Board of Governors, but a text message wasn't answered as of press time.
Baylon already denied last week that there's a sale with SMC.
Powerade guard Gary David, the Philippine Cup Best Player of the Conference (BPC) used his Twitter account to air his side, apparently a reaction to the news that Lassiter is being traded to Petron, saying: "This is unfair. No idea what's happening with the team!!!"
Lassiter was tabbed No. 4 overall by the Tigers in last year's PBA Rookie Draft following a solid stint with the Smart-Gilas Pilipinas.
Together with David and fellow rookie JVee Casio, the top pick in the Draft, they powered Powerade to the Finals of the all-Filipino conference, where they lost to reigning champion Talk 'N Text in five games in the best-of-seven series.
Lassiter also figured in the BPC race, ranking third overall after the semifinal round behind David and Petron's Arwind Santos, leading all rookies with 17 points per game average, while adding 6.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 steals.
He finished fourth after the voting.
A source also said that there are indeed talks to unload Petron center Rabah Al-Hussaini, with three teams interested in the 6-foot-7 sophomore center, including newcomer Shopinas.com, which will use the name Air21 starting in the Commissioner's Cup on Friday.

Kim Kardashian Posts Pics of North West — Too Cute! (PHOTOS)
We've only seen a couple photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby, North West, since the little bundle of joy arrived in June. But brace yourself, as you're about to see the cutest photo yet of little North, who appears to be as happy as can be!
On November 12, Kim took to Instagram to post a seriously precious photo of her little tyke on the couch.
"LOL," Kim captions the pic, which makes sense, since little Nori appears to be laughing.
This is definitely the sweetest photo that the Kardashian family has posted yet of Kim and Kanye's baby, as the little one truly seems to be happy and enjoying life. We're curious as to what is making Nori grin like this, but we're guessing Kim did something silly to crack her up.
So which of her parents do you think North is starting to resemble more? We'd say it's a tough call, since elements of both parents seem to be evident.
In a previous Instagram photo that Kim posted last month, North was seen wrapped up in a white blanket like an adorable burrito. But it's great that North is far more vivacious and animated in this new shot.
We also get another look at the little cutie in a photo of North with Italian designer Riccardo Tisci. Kim captioned that one "#NewStylist." Guess a daughter of Kim and Kanye always has to look her best!
So does these photos just make you want to squeal from now until the rest of eternity? And who does North look more like — Mommy or Daddy? Let us know in the comments!

Get Your Test Answers Now!
Applying for Your CDL
The first step to obtaining your CDL is getting your CDL learner permit (Class PA, Class PB, or Class PC). You'll be subject to the same requirements and knowledge tests as required of a regular CDL.
In order to obtain your CDL in Tennessee, you must be at least 21 years old, unless you're operating intrastate and within 100 miles of your job, in which case you can obtain a Class B CDL at 18 years old. If you are 19 years old you can have an intrastate Class A or Class B without endorsement (see below for class specifications).
You must obtain a valid DOT medical card (see below), and you can't currently have a suspended or revoked driver's license.
The following operators are exempt from obtaining a CDL:
- Military personnel
- Recreational vehicle operators
- Emergency vehicle operators
- Farmers and nurserymen who drive only within 150 miles of the farm or nursery
- Those who operate vehicles only to transport personal property
Get prepared before you head out to apply.
- Study for all tests, and schedule an appointment to take your tests.
- Have a vehicle ready to use for testing, and make sure it's the same class of vehicle for which you're applying.
- Obtain your DOT medical card (see below).
- Make sure you have all necessary documents (all driver's licenses and IDs, verification of your Social Security Number, proof of lawful residency or U.S. citizenship, your DOT medical card, and school bus drivers must have a 2-C form).
Note that you can apply for your CDL learner permit and CDL at any driver license station, but you can only take your skills test at an authorized Commercial Driver License Road Skills Test location. Call (615) 251-5217 for locations and scheduling.
CDL fees are as follows, and include both the licensing fee and the application fee:
- Class PA: $14 (permit valid 1 year )
- Class PB or PC: $13 (permit valid 1 year )
- Class A: $70 (valid 8 years)
- Class B or C: $62 (valid 8 years)
- Endorsements: $2.50 each.
New Federal Requirements
You must self-certify your type of vehicle operation with Tennessee's Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDOSHS). This means you must self-certify one of the following driving categories:
- Non-Excepted Interstate
- Excepted Interstate
- Non-Excepted Intrastate
- Excepted Intrastate
Make sure to submit a Supplemental Application for Commercial Driver License. If you choose Non-Excepted Interstate, you must also provide the TDOSHS with a federal medical certificate.

Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 was designed to improve highway safety. Its purpose was to ensure that drivers of commercial vehicles are qualified to drive them, and to remove unsafe drivers from the highways. The Act didn't require federal driver licensing―states still license commercial drivers―but it established minimum standards that states must meet when issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). It required states to upgrade their existing programs to follow the new federal standards.
Before the Act was passed, many commercial vehicle drivers operated vehicles they were not properly trained on or qualified to drive. Even in states that had separate license classes, drivers were not necessarily tested in the types of vehicles they would be driving. States must now test commercial drivers according to federal standards, to ensure that drivers know how to operate the trucks or buses they intend to drive.
The Act also made it illegal to have more than one driver's license. You can hold a regular or commercial driver's license, but not both. You can have one license from the state you reside in, but not from any other states. In the past, bad drivers could more easily hide their driving histories by getting several licenses. Today, all the states are connected to a national database to check driver histories.
To be licensed for certain types of commercial vehicles, extra testing is required. If you pass, you will receive an endorsement on your CDL. These are the five endorsements that you can apply for. Each requires between one and five knowledge (written) tests, and two require driving (skills) tests.
- T―Double/Triple Trailers (knowledge test only)
- P―Passenger (knowledge and skills tests)
- N―Tank Vehicle (knowledge test only)
- H―Hazardous Materials (knowledge test only)
- S―School Buses (knowledge and skills tests)
Requirements for Medical Certification
In the interest of public safety on the highways, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations require interstate commercial drivers to be medically fit to operate their vehicles safely and competently. You are required to have a physical exam and carry a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) medical certificate if you operate a motor vehicle weighing over 4,536 kgs. (10,000 lbs.) in interstate commerce.
You must carry a current copy of your medical examination certificate with you when you drive.
Minimum Training Requirements
There are no federal standards in place for on-the-road commercial driver training. The government only requires that you take and pass your CDL knowledge (written) and skills (driving) tests. Longer-combination-vehicle (LCV) drivers must receive training in driver wellness, driver qualifications, hours of service, and whistleblower protection.
The Tennessee commercial driver's manual is a good place to learn basic information, but you will need to be professionally trained to drive a commercial motor vehicle.
In order to pass your driving skills tests, you will need to learn how to inspect vehicles before driving, learn how to couple and uncouple tractors and trailers, and have plenty of practice driving. This includes driving in different conditions and on different road surfaces, turning, parking, backing up, and braking.
Many motor carriers train their employees, while other drivers take courses at private driving schools, vocational or technical schools, and community colleges. Individual states often approve or certify training courses. The Professional Truck Driver Institute (PTDI) has set minimum standards for training curriculums and certifies driver training courses that meet industry and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines. Many employers require their drivers to take PTDI-approved training.
Hazmat Background Checks
Under the USA PATRIOT Act, commercial drivers transporting hazardous materials (hazmat) must pass a background records check and be fingerprinted. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for conducting the background checks for all commercial drivers with hazmat endorsements or who want to add hazmat endorsements to their licenses. The TSA developed this program to carry out the USA PATRIOT Act mandate and protect citizens from the potential threat of terrorists using hazmat cargo.
If the TSA disqualifies you because of your background, you can appeal their finding or seek a waiver. However, if you are found guilty of a disqualifying crime, you must declare any disqualifying conditions and surrender your hazmat endorsement (if you already have it) to your state's department of motor vehicles or other licensing agency.
Applying for a Hazardous Materials Background Check
Tennessee no longer conducts background checks and fingerprinting at driver license centers; rather, they now utilize the Hazardous Material Endorsement Enrollment website. You can also apply by calling HazPrint at (855) 347-8371. The HazPrint website or telephone operator can help you find your nearest fingerprinting location.
You'll need to pay an $86.50 application and screening fee. If you don't pay while you apply online, you'll need to pay at the fingerprinting office.
You must apply either online or over the phone BEFORE you have your fingerprints taken.
Disqualifying Crimes
Conviction of any of the following crimes will disqualify you from being eligible for a hazmat endorsement:
- Terrorism
- Murder
- Assault with intent to murder
- Espionage
- Sedition
- Kidnapping or hostage-taking
- Treason
- Rape or aggravated sexual abuse
- Extortion
- Robbery
- Arson
- Bribery
- Smuggling
- Immigration violations
- RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) violations
- Unlawful possession, use, sale, distribution, or manufacture of an explosive device, firearm, or other weapon
- Distribution of, intent to distribute, possession, or importation of a controlled substance
- Dishonesty, fraud, or misrepresentation, including identity fraud
- Crimes involving a severe transportation security incident
- Improper transportation of a hazardous material
- Conspiracy or attempt to commit any of these crimes
Remember that your state also has its own guidelines that may be stricter than the federal ones. For more information, consult your employer, the DMV, or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association.

Fiscal cliff talks said to be progressing
President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) are said to be working on a new resolution to the fiscal cliff.
The Associated Press reports that the president has proposed raising the income threshold for extension of the Bush tax cuts to those making $400,000 annually, as opposed his previous threshold of $200,000 annually for individuals and $250,000 for familes. The president is also said to have asked for a debt limit extension that would last 2 years.
Boehner has signaled a willingness to negotiate, reports the National Journal, having said he would agree to a deal involving higher tax rates on earners of more than $1 million a year that would bring roughly $1 trillion in new revenue over a decade.
The Journal also reports that Boehner may try to pass a House bill with tax raises on just those millionaires by Dec. 20, putting the Senate in charge of part of the compromise process.
The Senate is making some preparations to work on the fiscal cliff beyond its normal schedule, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Dec. 17 telling (.pdf) the Senate that it will reconvene on Dec. 26 to complete work on the fiscal cliff negotiations.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said during a Dec. 17 press briefing that the president "would veto any legislation that got to his desk that extended those tax cuts for the top 2 percent."
A Defense Department official has warned that sequestration could result in furloughs for the civilian workforce and stretched out maintenance periods, less flying hours before deployment, less training," as Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey told sailors on Dec. 14.
Only half of Americans actually expect a budget deal to be reached before the end of calendar 2012, the poll says.

EDC responds to criticism by making changes
Published: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
The Davidson County Economic Development Commission appears to be responding to criticism and making some changes that will lead to more effective governance, communication and oversight. Steve Googe, the executive director of the EDC, laid out some of the changes during a board meeting Tuesday in which members of the press were invited. With the proposed changes now on the table, elected officials and the public need to keep watch and make sure they're carried out.
Some elected officials, most notably Davidson County Commissioner Todd Yates, have demanded more information from the EDC concerning economic incentive packages. Googe indicated the EDC is drafting nondisclosure forms for elected officials to sign, which will allow more information to be shared. These incentive packages involve taxpayer money, so elected officials should know as much information as possible before voting to approve them. Companies often demand secrecy from economic development officials, and while that's unfortunate and not always in the public's best interest, at least the nondisclosure forms will allow elected leaders to vet a company with an eye on the taxpayers' interest in addition to the oversight from the EDC board.
The EDC is also in the process of developing a website. Amazingly, in the information age in which we live, the EDC cannot be found online. Most organizations long ago realized the value of being able to present their message not only on websites but through other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Lexington Mayor Newell Clark, who sits on the EDC board and uses Twitter himself, is one member keenly interested in seeing the adoption of modern communication techniques. Companies interested in Davidson County can use a wide variety of resources to learn information, but certainly an attractive and informative EDC website should be the first destination.
The board also seems to be taking more of an active role in how the EDC operates as well. Googe alluded to the fact some of the changes taking place were prompted by the board. Organizations operate most effectively with a strong leader and an engaged board that isn't afraid to ask questions and make sure they understand what's going on. Consolidating power in one person is just asking for trouble, no matter how upstanding or competent he or she may be.
Economic development remains vital for Davidson County, where unemployment rose to 9.5 percent in May. Tommy Hedrick, chairman of the EDC board, mentioned the importance of building an industrial park in Linwood, the EDC's primary focus, to attract new companies. Addressing the concerns about how it operates will allow the EDC to garner more support from elected officials and the public as it works toward seeing this park built.

Will I be able to sleep after I get my epidural?
I had a conversation with my stepfather and he said that they (they being the nurses and/or doctor) won't want me to sleep after I get the epidural. Is this true?

i kept dozing off between contractions...and they wont bug you unless they need to. But dont expect it to be real sleep...its more like little catnaps and you will be utterly exhausted afterward even though you slept somewhat.posted 05/17/2011 by nyxpooka
Yes, you can sleep after an epidural (that is, if you will be left alone long enough to sleep :) My doctor actually suggested I close my eyes and try to rest to save energy for pushing. However, they come in every 30 minutes or so to check on you, so it's kind of hard to sleep! Good luck!posted 05/12/2011 by Piglette130
I slept through most of my labor with my second child due to the epidural. The delivery room was quiet and relaxing and I was pain-free, so I feel asleep. Because of this, when it came time to push, I was rested and had the strength and energy for hard labor. My recovery was faster, too, because I wasn't so exhausted! There was no danger to me or the baby during the labor, so they kept the monitor on me and let me doze.posted 05/27/2011 by mn8335
Certainly untrue! They will want you to get as much rest as possible so you have more energy for pushing and your newborn... also, it's quite easy to sleep on the epi!!!posted 05/31/2011 by Me&T+3
I had my 2nd child on Camp Pendleton (military base) and they actually don't even have a nursery. When I went for my tour of the maternity ward they informed me that my baby would sleep in my room with me and when I gave the woman an odd look (my daughter was born off base, and they refused to have the baby sleep in the room with the mom because they told me I needed rest.) the nurse responded with "we did not create that baby and we do not take care of them!" It was very difficult for me since I delivered via c-section... so I was told I was to "get up and get the child for ALL feedings"... which I did.. but it was VERY hard. So, what I am saying is this a question for the maternity ward, and I would make sure I knew everything about their care before delivering there.posted 05/11/2011 by Emkaed
If you can sleep with people in and out of your room, or your not just too excited to sleep. I had epidurals with 5 of my 7 children and I have to say I hadn't been that comfortable in months. You can sleep until you feel the urge to pushposted 05/03/2012 by nsaport
yes you can sleep with my first child after i got the epidural at 6 cm when i woke it was time to pushposted 06/03/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
In most cases they should let you sleep in between checks and other neccessary proceedures. The reality of it is that most often these proceedures have such little space in between them that unless you are a very heavy sleeper, you will not be able to sleep through them.posted 06/01/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I believe that I slept with my second daughter with my epi. I was too excited with the first. I am not sure what I am going to do with this guy/ Good luck and ASK YOUR NURSES!posted 05/26/2011 by mandybug22691
I guess it really depends how far along in your labor you are when you get it. With my son, I could sleep, no problem. With my daughter, I was screaming for more drugs and getting the epidural as I was ready to push. With my third, no epidural. (And that by far was the easiest and fastest delivery.)posted 05/24/2011 by kmikel3

In the spring of 2001, in New Delhi India, people began to report strange sightings and attacks of a 'monkey-man.'The police released a corny cartoonish sketch of the monkey-like attacker, who 'had claws for hands,' and went about jumping around the streets and alleys attacking innocent people as they slept. Fear and paranoia struck New Delhi as hundreds of reports came in about monkey-man attacks. Neighbors formed vigilante groups, the police formed a special unit, and politicians accused pakistan of sending a robot spy. All of this took place, reported on CNN, ABC, NBC, and David Letterman even had a top ten list about the nefarious Monkey-Man of India. People actually died. People were injured, but to this day, nobody really knows what 'monkey-man' really was. Later police, after taking part in the hysteria themselves, declared Monkey-Man a hoax.

Chevrolet Volt Reviews
Chevrolet Volt Reviews and Owner Comments
I purchased my Chevy Volt in October of 2012 at Blossom Chevrolet in Indianapolis, Indiana from Martin McNeelan and am simply in-love with this car. Especially since gasoline cracked the $4.00 barrier recently. Sure makes the price of the Volt a real bargain now and the fact that I've only visited a gas station three (yes-3) times in eight months now for fuel. The Volt handles like a sports car, and being able to set it into "Sports Driving Mode" on-the-fly allows me to take advantage of the electric motors virtually unlimited torque and put the folks to shame who thought that they could out run me from a dead stop. - It's really fun!!!
The Volt is the best car I've ever owned both from a performance (fun to drive) and from a quality perspective. The immediate torque from an electric car makes for a really enjoyable experience and the Volt is so well balanced that you can drive it like a sports car. EVs tend to be ugly, but the Volt is actually quite attractive. Sure, I'd take a Tesla in an instant, but short of that, I wouldn't trade my Volt for anything. I've owned it for over 2 years now and can count the number of times I've been to a gas station on one hand. I highly recommend it.

Go elsewhere than Dewey to sleep
Mr. Murray: in response to your letter. I have been living here in Rehoboth since 1985 as a plumbing contractor, and Dewey has been party central since before that. This is the first time I ever heard Dewey wants to sleep, ha-ha. Steve Montgomery is a businessman any town would love to have. He puts so much of his profit back to the community, along with other bar owners in Dewey.
How would the town afford to process all the inebriated patrons through the legal system? These people are adults and are responsible for their own actions. Remember, Monty is not a babysitter; he is a good businessman, and I know for a fact he loves Dewey and cares about his neighbors. Let's face it - everybody knows if you want to party in Delaware, head to Dewey Beach. It's not a good place to buy a home if you want to sleep, sorry. I'm sure they will find some solution to the gross receipts tax - they always do.

Ex-Iranian President Declared Fugitive by Argentine Judge
Judge says Hashemi Rafsanjani, 8 others are wanted over 1994 attack on a Jewish center that killed 85.
A Buenos Aires court on Friday declared former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani and eight others fugitives from justice in Argentina, where they are wanted in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center.
Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral said the nine must be considered fugitives for failing to respond to arrest warrants he issued earlier this month, when he said he had "serious" evidence of the suspects' involvement in the attack.
Some 85 people were killed and more than 200 were injured 12 years ago when a bomb exploded in a van outside the seven-story AMIA center in the Argentine capital.
Iran has denied any involvement in the bombing. The other eight named in the warrants include a former Iranian government and military officials and an ex-security chief for Hezbollah.

SAN JACINTO, California – One person was killed and another injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday morning on the Ramona Expressway at Lyon Avenue, according to a CAL FIRE/Riverside fire fighter report.
One person was pronounced dead upon the arrival of emergency workers and the second person was transported to a nearby hospital with moderate injuries, the report said.
One of the drivers allegedly swerved to avoid a dog in the roadway and drove into oncoming traffic, according to a comment by Omar Gutierrez to a story on the crash written by the Press Enterprise. Gutierrez was a motorcyclist who stopped at the scene to help the crash victims.
Many times those injured in a traffic accident need extensive care and treatment for their injuries ranging from head injuries and broken bones to back and neck soft tissue injuries. Many times the crash is not the fault of the injured person, but someone else whose actions fell below the standard of care required under California law for all motorists. Motorists who are found liable for a car crash are also responsible for the injuries or death of anyone involved.

Diamondbacks Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick wasn't in Indianapolis last week, where his club was involved in pulling off the biggest trade at baseball's winter meetings, so on Friday morning the team's baseball operations staff caught him up on everything he missed.
"The process goes to the next step, because we still have some holes to fill," Kendrick said, referring to the team's need for another reliever and a hitter. "We still have money to spend and we're still talking."
Kendrick reiterated that the club's payroll for 2010 will be above this season's $73 million, but he wouldn't elaborate beyond saying it would be in the "mid-70s." He also said the number was flexible, assuming the right players become available at the right prices.
Assuming arbitration raises, the club has around $70 million committed after the recent acquisitions of starters Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy and reliever Aaron Heilman.
"The number is not a hard number," he said. "There's not $10 million more. But $2 million to $3 million above our baseline to do something that we really find attractive? We could probably do that. Now, some people might think that's a bad decision. We're going to be playing in a very bad economy; nothing's changed on that front. And we're coming off a less-than-stellar season."
But Kendrick believes the return to health of Brandon Webb and Conor Jackson should give the Diamondbacks a significant boost.
As expected, the Diamondbacks tendered contracts to all six of their remaining unsigned arbitration-eligible players: Miguel Montero, Conor Jackson, Stephen Drew, Edwin Jackson, Chad Qualls and Heilman.
At one point, non-tendering Conor Jackson was a possibility after he missed the final four months of the season with valley fever. But he showed he is healthy again by hitting well in the Dominican Winter League.

When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear The mighty river roar.
- Taras Shevchenko's Testament
The Dnieper and Ukraine are so inextricably tied that you couldn't have one without the other. This wide river is navigable by ship from the Podil waterfront in Kiev down to the river's mouth on the Black Sea. As the Volga is the soul of Russia, the Dnieper (transliterated Dnipro in Ukrainian) is the essence of Ukraine.
A cruise ship that departs the Ukrainian capital from below one of the most beautiful churches in the world, the Cathedral of St. Andrew, passes the Friendship Arch and Founders of Kiev monument (both built in 1982), the eternal golden domes of the Kiev Pechersky Lavra (or "Caves Monastery"), and the Soviet-era iconic Rodina Mat, or Motherland Statue. Passengers share the perspective of these landmarks with the sunbathers of Hidropark, a popular island park that stretches out on the opposite bank of the channel through which the ship passes.
On the way to the Black Sea, the ship passes five great dams that act as a staircase going up or down the river. Perhaps the closest equivalent in the United States would be the dam system on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest. The first dam that ships reach when coming from Kiev is the Kaniv Dam, located near the city of the same name, the burial place of national poet Taras Shevchenko. Below it, ships generally stop at Cherkassy (Cherkasy in Ukrainian), the forest fortress city that once acted as a bulwark against raids made by the Crimean Tatars. The second dam is at Kremenchuk, near what was once a serious set of rapids on the river. The name came from the alert sounded by residents: "Kremen!"
Below this second dam, the boat reaches Dnepropetrovsk - the largest city on the river after Kiev. Built on the ancient rapids atop ruins, it is as ancient as the era of the Goths. For instance the site of Bashmachka dates back to the 3rd century. The city was at one time to host one of the biggest churches in the world, one that would rival St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, according to the plans of Prince Potemkin. Eventually, it settled for the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, a church designed similarly to the Morskaya Cathedral on Kronstadt near St. Petersburg. These references to St. Peter eventually led to its rather lengthy name "St. Peter's on the Dnieper River".
Below the Dnieper Dam the ship reaches the next major stop just above the next dam. Both river port and dam are named Zaporozhye. This relatively modern city was, before the Russian Revolution, named Alexandrovsk. In 1921, it was renamed Zaporozhye, a name meaning "beyond the rapids." However, it is sometimes seen as a commemoration of the Zaporizhian Sich, the great Cossack state that existed along the river below the city in the 18th century. This so-called "Cossack republic" developed from the Hetmanate started by Bogdan Khmelnitsky in the mid-17th century. Eventually, the Tsarist authorities established firmer and firmer control of its client hetmans, resulting in the more independent members forming the independent Sich further south under what is today the Kakhovka Reservoir. The main fortress of the Sich was occupied and destroyed under orders of Catherine the Great in 1775.
Below the Kakhovka Dam, the lowest on the river, the ship pulls into the port of Kherson. Renowned for its shipyards and for being the first major Russian port in which Catherine the Great established on the Black Sea, Kherson was named for the ancient Greek city of Chersonesus, actually located on the Crimea. Having been created on Russia's frontier during a time of expansion against the Turks, the city has a large number of military monuments and relics. However, there are also a large number of nearby beaches to enjoy, as well as the Askania-Nova wildlife preserve - home to many unique animals, including the largest population of Przewalski's Horse, a breed native to Mongolia and the only horse species never to be fully domesticated.
After the cruise ship passes the shipyards on its way to the Dnieper River mouth, it enters the Dnieper Liman, the estuary of the great river. At the very mouth of the Liman, on the right bank, is the ancient city of Ochakov. In the days of Peter the Great, this was the Turkish side of the frontier, and it was the place where King Charles of Sweden fled after losing almost his entire army in the Battle of Poltava. Today, the city is the seaside resort for the Mykolaivska Oblast and a major fishing port.
Once the ship passes on to the open sea, it can either go to Yalta - a beautiful Crimean town, or to the port of the one-of-a-kind Odessa. Odessa today is in fact slightly smaller than Dnepropetrovsk, but has served a much larger role in the annals of Ukraine. After becoming the main port of the Novorossiya region, a role it took from Kherson, it became a city rich with traders, sailors and travelers of all kinds. The Porto Franco District in the city center still captures some of the essence of Odessa in its Golden Age under the Tsars, with all manner of modern shopping available for tourists. The Potemkin Steps (the location of a major battle scene in Sergei Eisenstein's film "The Battleship Potemkin") lead between this area of the city and the coast not far from where the "Mother-in-Law Bridge" traverses a deep valley called the Military Descent.
The story of this bridge's nickname stems from the story of a party official named Mikhail Sinitsa who had to deal with an unhappy mother-in-law in the 1960's. He would determinedly go down from her hill each day and back up to his place across this valley, arriving each day in a very bad mood. In order to make her mood more pleasant and, some say, more conducive to making bliny pancakes that he loved so much, he hired the architect Vladimirsky to have the bridge built. As with many bridges in the former Soviet countries, today it is adorned with "lovers' locks," padlocks set in place by newlyweds with the intention of "locking tight" their union with each other (the keys are afterwards thrown off the bridge in order that the lock never be opened again).
As any visitor would tell you, the spirit of Ukraine dwells in the Dnieper River. To understand it fully, climb aboard a ship for a cruise between Ukraine's capital and the Black Sea. You will return home not only with new friends, but with an experience of a lifetime.

$42,000 in 9 (+6) theaters; PSA: $4,700; Cumulative: $76,000
Better than usual performance among recent docs as this Israeli film quickly adds new cities.
What it means: In a crowded market, this seems to be showing some promise.
"Brooklyn Castle" (PDA) - Week 2
$30,100 in 8 theaters (+6); PSA: $3,763; Cumulative: $54,000
A modest expansion for this NY student chess competition documentary, still performing ahead of what most recent docs have done.
What comes next: Further expansion and hoping for awards attention.
"Holy Motors" (Indomina) - Week 2
$15,300 in 2 theaters (unchanged); PSA: $7,650; Cumulative: $56,000
A modest drop (19%) in its two NY theaters is a sign of specialized audience interest after initial reviews boosted the first weekend
What comes next: Indomina seems to be moving carefully with this, but these grosses will be enough to get it prime big city openings across the country, and potential decent success for what these days is a tricky sell -- a French film whose main appeal is to younger, more adventuresome audiences. (It plays at LA's AFI Festival this weekend before its later opening there.)
"The Big Picture" (MPI) - Week 3
$19,200 in 6 theaters (unchanged); PSA: $3,200; Cumulative: $40,300
This French thriller continues its modest performance, holding its theater count steady.
What comes next: Without a lot of competition in upcoming weeks, this should get maximized playoff.
"Smashed" (Sony Pictures Classics) - Week 3
$44,400 in 21 theaters (+1); PSA: $2,114; Cumulative: $150,000
Still underperforming, but at least the PSA held steady this weekend.
What comes next: Much wider playoff is still ahead, although this is struggling to find traction.
"Middle of Nowhere" (AFFRM) - Week 3
$30,100 in 24 theaters (+3); PSA: $1,254; Cumulative: $166,900
Still not finding its deserved wider audience after its strong openings.
What comes next: With a reported $200,000 production cost, this acclaimed drama still is likely to ultimately be successful.
"Simon and the Oaks" (The Film Arcade) - Week 3
$32,500 in 14 theaters (+7); PSA: $2,321; Cumulative: $79,000
This Swedish WW2 drama doubled its theater count to continued modest results.
What comes next: This will keep opening in new markets, but it doesn't look like it will reach more than a low six figure total.
"The Paperboy" (Millennium) - Week 4
$102,000 in 76 theaters (+2); PSA: $1,342; Cumulative: $551,000
Continued weak performance for this multi-star steamy thriller.
What comes next: Won't last much longer.
"The House I Live In" (Abramorama) - Week 4
$25,029 in 12 theaters (+8); PSA: $2,085; Cumulative: $111,000
Performing steadily as it gets into new markets, this drug prohibition drama continues to score important media attention with the hope that this leads to awards.
What comes next: Enough gross here to continue playing going forward.
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (Lionsgate) - Week 6
$1,400,000 in 736 theaters (-9); PSA: $1,902; Cumulative: $11,208,000
This keeps holding a very steady theater count with little additional advertising not preventing this from adding on gross each week.
What comes next: This is already one of the best grossing initially platform films of the year, and it has some weeks left to go.
"Arbitrage" (Roadside Attractions) - Week 7; also available on Video on Demand
$176,000 in 125 theaters (-44); PSA: $1,408; Cumulative: $7,350,000
Now late in the run, but still adding to its impressive total while home viewing is also available.
What comes next: Roadside hopes to position Richard Gere in the very competitive best actor race this year.
"Samsara" (Oscilloscope) - Week 10
$94,000 in 67 theaters (-2); PSA: $1,400; Cumulative: $2,179,000
In its third month, and still holding on.
What comes next: This should easily pass the $2.5 million mark.
"Searching for Sugar Man" (Sony Pictures Classics) - Week 14
$159,000 in 114 theaters (-23); PSA: $1,395; Cumulative: $2,214,000
Along with "Samsara" the other documentary with legs and strong word of mouth.
What comes next: This could still get to $3 million.

Citi Platinum Select & Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card: $30 Statement Credit
Posted By Jim On 05/11/2010 @ 12:02 pm In Credit | 8 Comments
It seems as though the credit card companies are a little tired of the banks getting all the attention for their bank deals [3]. Citi emailed me yesterday about a new promotion they're running, a $30 statement credit for new Citi Platinum Select MasterCard and Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card members [4].
Update: Citi will no longer be promoting the $30 Statement Credit previously offered with the Platinum Select Card.
The requirements for the $30 statement credit are easy – make $30 in purchases that are not returned within the first 3 months of account opening. Statement credit will appear within 8 weeks. It doesn't get any easier than that and it sure beats a t-shirt, frisbee, or whatever crap you got in college when you signed up for a credit card, right?
For what it's worth, I can't remember a time when Citi offered a new account bonus for cards that didn't have an annual fee. Offering 15,000 miles on a travel or airline branded credit card is almost standard, but rare for a non-travel card.
Both cards have no annual fee and both offer 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers if you qualify, which is 50% more than your average 0% balance transfer offer [5].

New York Man Pleads Guilty to Possessing Sexual Images of Children
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 01, 2009
Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, December 1, 2009, that Kyle Rice, a resident of Panama, New York, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of violating federal laws relating to the sexual exploitation of children.
Rice, age 21, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin.
In connection with the guilty plea, Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold advised the court that Rice possessed and attempted to possess computer images depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Launched in February 2006, Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Judge McLaughlin scheduled sentencing for March 1, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. The law provides for a total sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Rice.

NEC Launches World's First Virtualized MVNO Solution
Published on: 18th Feb 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
NEC has launched what it says is the world's first virtualized Mobile Virtual Network Operator solution (vMVNO SL) that achieves Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).
NEC's vMVNO-SL can be installed with an MVNO in order to establish connectivity between an MVNO's own communication network and its supplier mobile network.
These functions are achieved using software that runs on a virtualized all-purpose Intel Architecture (IA) server.
"MVNO operators are often required to introduce gateway systems in order to establish connections with carriers through the layer 2 data link," said Tsutomu Ookurano, senior manager, NEC. "This requires a large amount of time and money, which is further aggravated by facility investment and rapid increases in operational costs. Furthermore, MVNOs face demands from customers for more flexible and scalable services, such as session management, IP address management, charging data collection and security control. This new solution meets these needs and enables MVNOs to provide their original services more easily."
The solution adopts NFV to achieve a variety of network functions on a virtual infrastructure of commercial-off-the-shelf IA servers, including the MVNO-GW functions conventionally achieved by dedicated hardware. This enables customers to begin with a single-server structure and to scale out their servers depending on business needs, thereby dramatically cutting back on capital expenditures.
Moreover, this expands the range of server hardware that is available to MVNOs, enabling them to construct systems that are optimized for their business environment.
This solution enables MVNOs and Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNE) to take up contracts in a Layer 2 data link, where it costs less to establish a connection with a carrier's mobile network. Furthermore, MVNOs and MVNEs can reduce operating expenses by accommodating 3G and LTE line interfaces as well as improve a wide range of functions by simply upgrading software.

The Biggest Loser: The Most Shocking Elimination To Date
April 05, 2011 07:38 PM by Lisa Princ
Tonight on a brand new episode of The Biggest Loser on NBC we saw a confrontation, players pull together and a night out for one team. But the weigh in this week would be the most heart breaking to date – once again the room was silent and Bob Harper amongst others were filled with tears. Keep reading for all the details on tonight's dramatic episode!
The Biggest Loser kicks off tonight with Courtney and the other girls from the original black team having a heart to heart chat about the support Courtney needed as she was all alone on her team. Hannah, Olivia and Irene all vowed to help Courtney break through her plateau as Brett Hoebel did also. Brett and Courtney worked out a plan where they were going to have her burn less calories and take in more calories in an effort to jump start her body and get her losing weight again. Courtney was determined to get past the plateau and decided she was going to work extra hard this week while Brett was thinking that the one on one would be good for her as well.
Then we watched as Jillian Michaels' decided she would tackle Rulon and his late night eating that was exposed last week at the weigh in. So with Hannah and Jay working out with Bob and the blue team, Jillian headed up to chat with Rulon, who had no problem admitting he was eating at night. Rulon took it upon himself to decide that he needed to be rewarded for all the hard work he put in during the day by snacking on chips and candy at night…not a bright move with cameras all around him. In any event, Jillian and Rulon vowed to work on this issue one way or another but we didn't see anything more about this tonight.
Next up on The Biggest Loser, Ali Sweeney issued the contestants their challenge – place a flag one mile from the starting line in 15 minutes or less. Easy enough, right? Not when you have no measuring tools, just your instinct. Each team used their own strategy to try and measure the mile, such as steps, counting, etc. and each team ended up in a different spot. The winning team by only 4 feet was the black team, with the blue team in second place. For winning, the black team got a night on the town – which worried and infuriated Jillian while the other three teams were left behind to clean, clean and clean the ranch some more.
Jay, Rulon and Hannah all got dolled up and headed out in their limo, trying to decide how they wanted to spend their evening. They all looked stunning, more so Hannah than the guys and she shared how much she was looking forward to this and how good it felt to feel this good about herself. When they got there they decided to go out and dine and while they could have eaten or drank anything they wanted, they chose to play it safe. They all had salads with the dressings on the side, some fish and crab legs minus the butter. Hannah even seemed to have an admirer who showed up at the table to toast them hearing that they were on The Biggest Loser. When Jay and Rulon caught on to this, they made an excuse to leave the table so that Hannah and the man could mingle which she enjoyed immensely – stay tuned to find out if this turns into anything more.
Then it was back to business as usual and the teams went in for their last chance workouts. After their last chance workouts, here is how the team fared at this week's weigh in:
Green Team
265 to 263 for a total loss of 2 lbs
257 to 253 for a total loss of 4 lbs
169 to 168 for a total loss of 1 lbs
Total team loss of 7 lbs (1.01%)
Red Team
232 to 231 for a total loss of 1 lbs
Total team loss of 1 lbs (.48%)
Blue Team
293 to 286 for a total loss of 7 lbs
176 to 174 lbs for a total loss of 2 lbs
170 to 164 for a total loss of 6 lbs
Total team loss of 15 lbs (2.35%)
Black Team
325 to 318 for a total loss of 7 lbs
172 to 168 for a total loss of 4 lbs
276 to 270 for a total loss of 6 lbs
Total team loss of 17 lbs (2.20%)
With that said, there was no elimination vote tonight as Courtney had the lowest percentage of weight loss. What a heart breaking elimination this one was. Brett was crushed while Bob, who was in tears declared how angry he was that another player who needed to be there was going home. Jillian was pissed and frustrated as well, but no one showed more emotions than the girls of the black team – Hannah, Olivia and Irene. The ladies were all in tears but Courtney had a huge smile on her face as usual and vowed to go home and keep it up.
After encouraging the girls to keep at it and bring it home to the finale, Ali Sweeney then gave everyone some shocking news on top of that. In another sad twist she announced that Courtney would not be the only person leaving the ranch tonight as Brett Hoebel would be heading out as well since he had no one left to train. If that was not one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, why not let him train some of the other contestants? In any event, I guess this means we are stuck with Cara next season, who in my opinion is a poor replacement for Jillian Michaels.
As for Courtney, she is currently down to 210 lbs and I have no doubt that next to Arthur she has the best chance at the home prize. Can't wait to see you at the finale Courtney!
Tune in next Tuesday at 8 pm EST for a brand new episode of The Biggest Loser on NBC as it looks like Jillian is the one stressed out!

Jillian is Jillian and Cara is another trainer. They are two different types of trainers. Maybe the Biggest Loser will keep the 3 trainers next season and eventually trim it down to two. So give her a chance. She is new to the screen and eventually might grown on the viewers or maybe not.

I am not really a fan of Cara either. Or Brett. Brett is definitely hot though! Cara doesn't have enough backbone. Next season will not be the same without Jillian!

The Library Informatics Classroom is a valuable, centrally-located campus space for conducting instruction, trainings, mock test sessions, and professional meetings that require computer workstations. Keeping it stocked with the latest technology and software can be a costly venture to the Library's limited budget.
Charles Robinson and Curtis Wright from the Library's Digital Services and Technology Planning (DSTP) unit found an innovative, green, and low-cost alternative for this much needed classroom upgrade.
The Library coordinated with campus departments who were upgrading their current computer workstations with newer equipment and faster operating systems and acquired 18 computers and monitors that would have been otherwise slated for dismantling, resell, and destruction. Through this process, the Library was able to replace outdated equipment with "newer" models and software, including:
- Program upgrades (e.g., Microsoft Office 2010)
- Larger 24-inch monitors and smaller CPUs for more leg room
- 4 GBs of RAM for faster operating
- A new LCD projector
For more information about renting the Library Informatics Classroom for your next professional meeting or training, go to the Library Informatics Classroom Rental Form or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you wish to learn more about how your campus department can participate in the re-purposing of current campus technology or furniture resources for business purposes, please contact Gary Quinn in the Office of Inventory Control.

BABC successfully advocated for MTC to start the first regional Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program as part of their Climate Initiative. Working with our partner agencies, Transform and Greenbelt Alliance as well as our local coalitions, BABC secured $17 Million in STP/CMAQ funds for SR2S for 2010-2012. MTC is currently developing the guidelines for their regional Safe Routes to School Program. We will post a link to the guidelines for this new program as soon as they are available.
BABC will continue to work with MTC in their stakeholder committee that is putting together the guidelines that will shape SR2S programs in all of the 9 counties in the Bay Area.
The most mainstream bicycle advocacy movement in America is undoubtedly Safe Routes to School (SR2S). The numbers of school children walking and biking to school has plummeted around the nation as roads have become more congested and more dangerous. Over the same period, childhood obesity rates have climbed alarmingly. SR2S is a cross-cultural, community-driven movement that works to combat both of these negative trends.
In 1998, Marin County received one of two of the nation's first pilot study Safe Routes to School program grants. These pilot studies evolved into a replicable program where schools and their parent communities utilize a combination of education, engineering and enforcement strategies to entice more students to walk and bicycle to school.
In July 2005, Congressed established a National SR2S program that would distribute $612 million from 2005 to 2009. Additionally, in August 2005, the State of California began its own Safe Routes to School program. The State's program has brought many good projects to the Bay Area,, however only 1 of 5 SR2S applications are funded.
In many communities, driving kids to school comprises between 20 to 30% of morning traffic. This seemingly local issue has become a regional problem, thus BABC is advocating for the creation of a regional SR2S program via the 2009 Regional Transportation campaign. We assert that the creation of a robust regional SR2S program will improve overall mobility, help stem the tide of climate change, and foster a new generation that values walking, bicycling and transit usage as preferred modes of travel.
Sign on to BABC's Regional Transportation Platform and help us save over $1 billion in funding for bicycling.

"The pace just wasn't fast enough," lamented Alain de Royer Dupre, the French trainer of Dunaden, who finished a lowly 14th after starting as one of the favourites.
Dupre was not the only trainer to curse the slow going, which, unusually for the Melbourne Cup, left a host of pretenders still in contention in the closing stages.
Driven forward by Brett Prebble, Green Moon ambushed the rest of the field to win by a length from Fiorente and Jakkalberry, the best-placed of the European contingent.
Frustrated by the slow pace, long-distance runner Dunaden was also carrying top weight of 59 kg, giving away some 5.5 kg to the winner. France's other representative Americain fared little better, finishing 11th in what his trainer Mikel Delzangles confirmed will be his last race before retiring to stud in Australia.
Race result:
1. Green Moon (B. Prebble)
2. Fiorente (J. McDonald)
3. Jakkalberry (C. O'Donoghue)
4. Kelinni (G. Boss)
5. Mount Athos (R. Moore)
11. Americain (D. Oliver)
14. Dunaden (C. Williams)
