The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Buick Lucerne was introduced in the 2006 model year as a replacement for the Buick LeSabre and Park Avenue. The Cadillac DTS was introduced in the 2006 model year as a replacement for the Cadillac DeVille.
Two tests of the Lucerne were conducted, one by the Institute and the other by General Motors as part of frontal crash test verification. Ratings are based on both tests, but the vehicle specifications shown below are based on the Institute's test.
In each test, measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Measures from the dummies in the two tests, taken together, indicate that injury to the lower right leg would be possible.
Dummy movement was well controlled in both tests. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
How this test is conducted
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

Just so you know, the Mike Tomlin Kool-Aid goes down nice and smooth. Tastes just right, with no bitter aftertaste.
Since he became the Steelers' 16th head coach Jan. 22, Tomlin's picture has been on Page 1 of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review more times than George W. Bush's.
And the Trib continues to write up Tomlin daily in the sports section as if advertisers pay $100,000 each time his name appears. In Pittsburgh proper, all is right with Tomlin.
If only things would always be so perfect.
Since we don't know if Tomlin will be a successful NFL coach -- he's never been a head coach at any level -- let's talk about a couple of things that we do know.
Point One: Tomlin's a stickler for details. He focuses on doing the "little things" until his players get it right.
Over and over and over again.
Take special teams.
Tomlin values special teams just as much as he values the importance of offense and defense.
No joke.
While Tomlin isn't comparing punter Daniel Sepulveda's hang-time with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's ability to read defenses, he's never wavered from his original stance in his very first group interview with local reporters that special teams are indeed special.
Tomlin devoted at least one-third of his first training camp to special teams, which is only fitting.
The first personnel move he made based off game action was signing long-snapper Jared Retkofsky after Jeff Reed's extra-point attempt was blocked against Green Bay.
Retofsky was brought in to "push" incumbent Greg Warren, who snapped the ball adequately on the blocked PAT, but may not have moved quickly enough to his left to impede an onrushing Green Bay lineman.
Since Retofsky was released before the final exhibition game against Carolina, it's safe to assume Warren was never in danger of losing his job.
That isn't to say Tomlin is giving lip-service to special teams.
Asked about some of the Steelers' special-team errors in the fourth exhibition game against Philadelphia -- a shanked punt, along with a fumbled punt -- Tomlin said to imagine what the performance of his special teams would be like without so much practice time.
Gotta like that moxie.
Point two: Tomlin is a "player's coach."
All of which means that even though Tomlin didn't play in the NFL, he still understands what buttons to push on each player.
Consider the relationship between Tomlin and cornerback Ike Taylor.
Taylor is your prototype shutdown corner who struggled at times last season. Former coach Bill Cowher saw fit to sit Taylor, a starter on the Super Bowl XL championship team, without so much as an explanation to the player.
Despite Taylor not playing a single game for him, Tomlin publicly praised Taylor from the moment he took the job and freely mentioned Taylor and the Pro Bowl in the same sentence.
During training camp, Taylor confidently re-established himself as the No. 1 left cornerback, as well as the best cornerback on the team.
What his players seem to like best about Tomlin is that he doesn't try to act like a head coach -- gruff, omnipotent, above-it-all.
"He's the head coach, and we are players. But he doesn't put himself on a pedestal," Taylor said. "He puts himself like 'We're all human, we're all grown men regardless of if I'm the head coach. We all make mistakes.' It's hard getting that from a guy at that level."
It is also Tomlin who commissioned new offensive coordinator Bruce Arians to open up the offense -- or at least give the appearance of opening up the offense.
But it's also Tomlin, who at the ripe/wise old age of 35, understands full well that you can know your Xs from your Os, but that you must physically whip the other team.
Hence, Tomlin's Steelers had more physical practices in training camp than they did under Cowher.
Yet, I never once recalled Tomlin raising his voice in four weeks at St. Vincent College.
At this point, Tomlin can do no wrong.
He hasn't lost a game, or made a bad coaching decision or a poor personnel move.
He's golden.
In fact, things are going so good, he should retire right now while he's ahead. (Just kidding.)

Bulldogs Struggle in Rematch of Last Year's Historic Victory
The Bulldogs traveled to Tallahassee to take on Florida State in a rematch of their historic victory over the Seminoles last season.
It was one year and 10 days ago when Yale pulled off the biggest upset in its history when it stunned then-No. 14 Florida State, 91-85, in New Haven on Dec. 18, 2010.
This time around, Florida State made certain from the opening tip that it would not fall victim to Yale's upset dreams a second time.
Five players scored in double figures, while all nine players who played scored at least four points, to lead a balanced scoring attack as Florida State cruised past Yale, 92-58, Wednesday night at the Donald L. Tucker Center on the FSU campus.
Alexa Deluzio scored 15 of her game-high 20 points in the opening half, including 13 of the Seminoles first 21 points of the game. She also had all five of her assists in the first half.
Chelsea Davis recorded a double-double, with 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Natasha Howard poured in 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Cierra Bravard and Chasity Clayton each added 14 points and seven rebounds. Bravard, who was taken out of the starting lineup tonight, came off the bench and scored 12 of her points in the first half on 5-of-7 shooting in the half.
Florida State shot a blistering 62.3 percent (38-for-61) and outscored Yale 18-0 on fast-break points. The Seminoles also dominated the paint, outrebounding the Bulldogs 49-29 and outscoring the Bulldogs 60-8 in the paint.
Yale struggled from the opening tip. Janna Graf scored Yale's first nine points en route to an 18-point night. No other Yale player reached double figures, though freshman Hayden Latham had nine points, while Michelle Cashen and Alexandra Osborn-Jones each chipped in eight points. The Bulldogs shot 17-for-66 (25.8 percent), their worst shooting performance in a game this season.
Yale returns to action on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012, when it plays host to Army at 4 p.m. at John J. Lee Amphitheater.

Munyonyo, Uganda (CNN) -- Citing increased complaints from Ugandans, mainly from the war-ravaged northern region, the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) said Thursday he plans to investigate the country's army over alleged crimes against humanity.
"I have received complaints from many affected people in Uganda and human rights activists about (the) Uganda army's alleged atrocities they committed during many years of insurgency in the north," said Luis Moreno-Ocampo.
Most of the complaints against the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF), as the army is known, are from before 2002, and the ICC does not have jurisdiction to investigate those, he said.
"I follow crimes committed after July 2002, which include crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide," he said.
Moreno-Ocampo spoke shortly after meeting former U.N. Undersecretary for Children, Olara Otunnu, who has accused government of President Yoweri Museveni of various crimes over the years.
"We are here to manage conflict including violence," Moreno-Ocampo said. "If he (Otunnu) has information he wants to submit, let him give it to me for as long as it does not predate 2002."
Moreno-Ocampo said he would assess the information Otunnu submitted to him but had asked for more specifics about cases of atrocities allegedly committed by the UPDF.
"If we see (a) need to open new investigations, we shall. They are important and I can investigate if he gives me real information," he told journalists.
Otunnu alleges the Ugandan army committed atrocities in northern Uganda during the more-than two-decade-long insurgency led by the vicious Lord's Resistance Army, whose leader Joseph Kony and four of his commanders are indicted by the court.
He argues the UPDF is equally culpable for crimes against humanity and war crimes like their enemy, the LRA, but Moreno-Ocampo told Otunnu to file a formal case with ICC.
Moreno-Ocampo advised Otunnu to go to the High Court of Uganda in such instances where the ICC has no jurisdiction.
"We selected the gravest cases in northern Uganda and it's a fact that thousands of these were committed by the LRA," Moreno-Ocampo said. "It is clear Joseph Kony committed most of the crimes in northern Uganda.
"We will respond to any communication sent to us in terms of evidence but on cases not predating 2002," he explained.
In reaction, Deputy Attorney General Fredrick Ruhindi told a separate press conference, "If Otunnu has decided to take his matters to the press instead of through official channels, he is free to do so."

July 2013 Randy's Electrical CornerPosted in How To: Electrical on July 1, 2013
I'm sure you have all heard about the guy who shot himself when his truck blew a fuse and he replaced it with a bullet. I don't know where he shot himself. Sure, the story is better if the guy really can't have kids anymore. Someone much smarter than me said something about a cleaner jean pool (Editor's note: gene pool), but I don't really understand how a guy not having kids can lead to clean jeans in a pool. Just sounds like a way to get soggy pants to me.
Oh yeah, the point is don't shoot yourself in the nuts with a bullet. Or anything else for that matter. No, wait, that wasn't the point. Oh, the point was that your Jeep has fuses for a reason and bypassing them is bad, kind of like when Earl ran over the neighbor's cat. Don't kill your neighbor's cat, replace your fuses with the same kind and rating of fuse as whatever the Jeep engineers originally said your Jeep should have.
Over the years Jeep used a lot of different fuses and it can sometimes be difficult to sort it all out. I'm something of a fuseologist. Next to relays, fuses are probably my favorite electrical part in a Jeep. They can tell you when something is going wrong in your electrical system, they can keep the Jeep from catching fire, and they can protect your electrical stuff from damage. The problem is that a lot of people don't really care about fuses, fuse blocks, or inline fuses until it is too late and something is wrong.
You Jeep guys always going topless around this time of year and getting caught in rainstorms means that your fuses often get wet. I wish it was the Jeep chicks who went topless, that would be cool. Mmm, wet topless Jeep chicks. Sorry, getting off topic again.
I was saying you should inspect your fuses every now and again to make sure there are no problems that might mess with your electrical system. What kind of fuses do you have? What are the different sizes for? What kind of problems might you see? All good questions…read along.

I'm looking for a logo that has a "Wow!" quality to it. Soaring Potential is a personal development company. The image I want to convey is of a soaring eagle.

I would like an EAGLE not any random bird. Inspiring & Artistic, but strong. I would prefer printed letters as opposed to script.
This logo will be used for the website, business cards, & brochures.

Questions and Answers Related to HIV/AIDS
Got questions about living with HIV/AIDS? Check out the listing below for some of the most useful reader questions and expert answers from TheBody.com's "Ask the Experts" forums on topics of concern to gay men. And if you don't see your questions below -- or on one of our other frequently asked questions pages -- you can e-mail your questions to TheBody.com's team of HIV/AIDS experts!

Taking HIV Meds and Other Health Issues
- If someone controls their virus without medication for five years, does that mean they will have a normal life span once they start their meds?
- I keep reading that the new drugs have few side effects. If I am going to be on treatment for many years anyway, why should I wait to start instead of treating immediately?
- Could starting HIV treatment shortly after being infected protect my immune system from long-term damage?
- What are the pros and cons of taking Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) and Truvada (tenofovir/FTC)? This is my third year on meds, but I'm not sure if I should switch to something else. My CD4 count is in the 700s and my viral load is undetectable.
- I have been taking testosterone replacement treatments (most recently Androgel) for many years to treat the negative effects of HIV and HIV meds. However, my new doctor says testosterone replacement is bad for HIV-positive people because the risks are too great and there are no benefits. This is completely opposite my prior doctors' advice for the past 10-plus years. Who's right?
- I know there's no way to tell what my CD4 count was before I had HIV, but can HIV meds raise someone's CD4 count above pre-infection levels? Is there such a thing as a "maximum" CD4 count, or can it just keep climbing?
- I've been on Norvir (ritonavir), Reyataz (atazanavir) and Truvada (tenofovir/FTC) since June 2009. I started with a CD4 count of 450 and a viral load of 37,000 copies. My CD4 count as of today is 798 and my viral load is at 114 copies. I seem to be stable at these numbers. Why isn't my virus undetectable yet?
- How can I tell if Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC) is right for me?
- Which erection enhancers can I take with my HIV meds?
- What steps can HIVers safely take to relieve seasonal allergy symptoms? Are there any allergy medications that interact with HIV meds?
- Dear Nelson Vergel: I just started taking Testopel (testosterone pellets). As a long-term HIV survivor yourself, can you elaborate on your own experience taking it? How frequently do you suggest having testosterone levels tested? When should I have more pellets inserted?
- My partner and I are both HIV positive. I had what was probably a severe allergic reaction to abacavir sulfate (Ziagen) and was advised never to take Ziagen again. Now my partner's taking it, and we've read that small amounts of Ziagen are present in semen. If I give him unprotected oral sex and I ingest semen, could I potentially develop an allergic reaction?
- Due to fatigue, I would like to take a drug holiday. How long is safe? What are the risks?
Read frequently asked questions on starting treatment, life expectancy, CD4 counts and viral load testing.
Sexual Risk and HIV Transmission
- About a year ago, I had unprotected receptive anal sex with a man I now discover to be HIV positive. Needless to say I'm regretful, scared and intend to get tested soon. But in the meantime, what are my chances of being infected?
- I was lying in bed with my ex-boyfriend. We were both naked and I started rubbing my unprotected erect penis against his anus. I did apply some pressure and minimal penetration could have occurred. What are my chances of being infected with HIV? Does the fact he is on HAART affect the risk?
- I met a complete stranger in a bathroom and we performed mutual masturbation. I did not get his semen on my hand and did not see any obvious open sores on him or any blood anywhere. Could I have gotten HIV from this experience?
- Is anal sex supposed to hurt? My partner did not use a condom but he said he pulled out before he came. Should I get tested for HIV?
Read more frequently asked questions on HIV risks.
Insurance and Legal Issues
- My new boss recently told me that my HIV status was disclosed to her when she first became my manager. Is it legal for anyone at work to disclose my status without first asking me?
- Will my company insurance carrier report my HIV status to my employer once they start to see HIV meds and treatment claims by my doctor?
- I have been recently hired by a company and after 90 days I will be eligible for group health insurance. I have great concerns about disclosing my HIV status when I fill out the application. How does this work, and what should I do?
- Does HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) apply to someone who is HIV positive and under his parents' insurance?
- I'm trying to get a letter from my physician assistant (PA) at Veterans Affairs stating that I am a disabled person based on my HIV/AIDS diagnosis. When the PA told me that I was not a disabled person, I pointed out that people with HIV are protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act. It seems, however, that I'm "not disabled enough." What are some different disability designations in the U.S., and how do they apply to HIVers?
- I have health insurance through my employer and I see the doctor four times a year. I thought my insurance covered my lab tests, but a few months ago I got four large bills in the mail for lab work dating back to January 2009. Shouldn't I have been informed if my insurance doesn't cover lab work? How could I have avoided this situation?
- I am going through acute HIV infection right now and over the past couple of weeks I've had to take a few days off from work. I had the sick time to cover those days, but I am now out of sick time. Would it be wise for me to file an intermittent Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) claim through the U.S. Department of Labor?

Anal Cancers, HPV and HIV
- What can I do to prevent myself from getting anal cancer?
- I have been living with HIV for over 20 years now and have been on meds for the last ten years. Recently I was diagnosed again with squamous cell carcinoma. What can I do to prevent it from happening again?
- A doctor said that people with HIV and HPV (human papillomavirus) are at higher risk for anal cancer. Should I be asking for anal cancer and colon cancer tests because of my increased risk factor?
- I was diagnosed with HIV 19 years ago and have never had a low CD4 count or a detectable viral load. I have human papillomavirus (HPV), though, and I've had lesions removed from my anus twice in the past 15 years. What kind of follow-up should I do for my HPV to make sure it doesn't turn into anal cancer?
- I'm starting treatment for anal cancer. Both my HIV and cancer doctors tell me that my immune system will take a hit. My HIV doc says there's a good chance I'll return to a clinical AIDS diagnosis, and my virus may become resistant to my current meds. However, neither clinic is willing to do CD4 count and viral load tests beyond my regular quarterly blood work. Would it not be prudent to test my CD4 count and viral load along the way?

Mixed-Status Couples
- What are the risks of having unprotected anal sex between an HIV-negative top and an HIV-positive bottom?
- I've known and dated my partner for about six years, but he recently tested positive. I want this relationship to work, regardless of his status. What do I need to know?
- A good friend and I have always been attracted to each other, and we finally made out. Yesterday he told me he's HIV positive. He says he's not sure he can do a relationship with me. I know that I want a partnership with him, but I'm scared he won't agree because I'm HIV negative. How can I show him that a relationship can work between a positive and a negative partner?
- What happens in the butt versus the mouth that makes it possible for an HIV-negative insertive partner to be infected with HIV by an HIV-positive partner?
Read more frequently asked questions on mixed-status relationships.
- Since telling others I'm HIV positive, I've been invited to parties with other positive guys. Is having unprotected sex with them safe?
- I've been asked by another positive guy to have bareback sex. Since we're both positive, I'm not sure if there are any risks. Does it make a difference who's the top and who's the bottom?
- What is serosorting and is it a good idea?

Nutrition and Fitness
- I was diagnosed two years ago. I am a vegan and work out five days a week, which includes cardio and weight training, I usually eat five to six small meals daily, including a great breakfast. I am currently on Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC). I look and feel absolutely incredible. Will I be able to sustain this regimen for the next 10 years?
- Are supplements, such as creatine and whey protein, advisable for HIVers who lift weights on a regular basis? I have read conflicting information, so I'd like to clear up what is available for building and maintaining muscle.
- We are trying to develop a diet for an HIV-positive person. What sort of foods are great for HIV and why? Also, we would like to avoid supplements as much as possible. Is this a good idea?
- Is biking a good way to fight muscle mass loss in the limbs?
- I'm 28 years old with a CD4 count around 350. I've been going to the gym for a couple of years, but now I want more muscles and less fat. How often and hard should I train?
- I want to lose abdominal fat. Would you recommend using abdominal equipment?
- I'm HIV positive with a CD4 count in the mid-300s and a nearly undetectable viral load (189 when last I checked). I now take Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC), but I've put on a lot of weight since getting better. What do you think of the "HCG diet" (a very low-calorie diet combined with hormone treatments) and other calorie-cutting diets?
Ask TheBody.com's nutrition and exercise expert, Nelson Vergel, questions about fitness.
Other Complications of HIV
- Am I losing my memory because of HIV? I am 47 years old and have been positive for 17 years, but I'm starting to forget a lot of things now. What can I do about it?
- I started meds 18 months ago. My viral load is undetectable and CD4 count is above 900. I was doing fine, but recently I've started feeling more fatigued during the day and need to sleep more than usual. Will the fatigue ever go away? What can I do?
- I have been positive for six years, my partner for about three. When we first met we had a great sex life. Now it is virtually nonexistent. He either does not have the energy or the interest. I have given up trying because I got tired of getting shot down. We are both in our mid-30s. How do I remain supportive without being bitter?

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Richard Cacciato, of Frederick Wildman and Sons announces his resignation and retirement as President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 31st 2014.
Dear All,
May 2014 will mark my 25th anniversary with Frederick Wildman & Sons Ltd. Who was to know what the future would bring that Monday morning as I was introduced as the Company's new President. Looking from today's vantage point it's been a wonderful journey. I joined a company struggling to find its place in the evolving Wine and Spirits industry. A company rich with history and heritage, representing some of the most respected and re-known families in the Fine Wine Business that somehow had lost its way.
With the unwavering support of the historical suppliers and new additions, we began the building process. Our goal was: not to lose our heritage, stay true to our history, maintain our reputation for prestige and quality while repositioning Wildman in such a manner that it would become relevant in the changing Fine Wine Business. I am extremely fortunate to have had the ability to live this experience. My life has been enriched working closely with the principles at Gruppo Italiano Vini, the families at Champagne Pol-Roger, Chateau-Fuisse, Maison Olivier Leflaive, Hugel et Fils, Pascal Jolivet and Paul Jaboulet Aine along with all of the properties and families we represent Nationally and In our Wholesale Divisions.
By any measure one would say, that we at Wildman, have achieved a high degree of success.
Let me step back a moment to a previous career with "21 Brands Inc" where my Wine and Spirits career began as a sales representative in Oct 1970. It spanned a total of 19 years and I progressed from Sales rep to its President. This experience formed the basis and gave me the confidence to take on the challenge awaiting me at Frederick Wildman & Sons.
Doing some simple math I have spent 44 years of my life in the Wine and Spirits Industry. During the last several years I have come to the conclusion that I would like to move on. I have total confidence in this decision as I have accomplished all that I dreamed for in this Industry. Also, Frederick Wildman & Sons is in a "good place" with a great portfolio, strong and seasoned management, excellent distributor partners whom we regard as family and in an excellent position to address the challenges of the future.
Therefore, at our shareholder meeting this March 31st 2014 I tendered my resignation as President & CEO with an effective date of July 31st 2014.
During the last 44 years I have had the privilege to work with many wonderful individuals whom I am proud to call friends. As I enter a new phase in my life I sincerely hope we will find a way to stay in touch.
Kindest Regards,
Importers of fine wines and spirits since 1934 Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd., is committed to excellence. The familiar Wildman oval found on every bottle sold is recognized around the world as a symbol of quality assurance. The company has become "the biggest little wine company in America."

Simple Steps
Last Monday was a big day in the life of one of my patients: He graduated from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) with a degree in political science. His parents and siblings were there to applaud as he accepted his diploma and turned his tassel. It was an experience that thousands of college students will have this month, but for Matt Courson, this already special day was momentous.
Before a crowd of thousands, Matt lifted himself from his wheelchair and traveled across the stage on his own two feet with the help of a walker and leg braces. It wasn't the first time he had walked since a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed from the chest down (our team in the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury has been working hard on this with Matt in therapy), but it marked the realization of a goal that others had told Matt would never happen.

With a trade for Kansas City Chiefs franchise player Branden Albert on the backburner -- perhaps permanently -- the Miami Dolphins continue to explore their options at offensive tackle.
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Tuesday that free-agent offensive tackle Eric Winston will work out for the Dolphins on Wednesday, according to a source.
Winston is just one of several possible options for the Dolphins, who have been searching for an offensive tackle since Jake Long signed with the St. Louis Rams in March.
Bryant McKinnie visited with Miami on Monday. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that former Atlanta Falcons offensive tackle Tyson Clabo is scheduled to meet with the Dolphins Tuesday night. Winston Justice also is reportedly scheduled for a visit.
Given the options, Albert still is the most logical fit, especially if the Dolphins don't feel comfortable permanently moving second-year right tackle Jonathan Martin to Ryan Tannehill's blindside.
Are the Dolphins legitimately interested in outside options, or are they simply posturing in a continued dance with the Chiefs? We'll find out soon enough.

The Amaze-Heater Wall Mounted Panel Heater is a safe and economical room heater that works on the principle of convective heat transfer. The Panels are mounted to a wall, in the desired room and location using the hardware provided and simple do-it-yourself installation instructions. Principle of Heat Convection - Hot air rises and gets displaced by cooler air. The panel heater uses this principle to create convective air currents within the room. These currents, gradually move warmer air around the room and create a uniform ambient temperature. Panel heaters do not have a built-in fan or any other moving part, therefore, there is no noise and no stirred-up dust. This eliminates airborne dust problem and is ideal for people suffering from asthma or allergy issues. Amaze-Heater panels have top and bottom protruding wings to eliminate fire hazards in case of accidental covering of the heating surface.
- No built-in fans, relies on gentle, natural, convection currents

Hey guys, Love the game, Played a single complete game and bought it immediately.
However I noticed that in the freeware version of the game it seemed I could use WASD as well as the arrow keys but in the paid version of the game I can't. I do like to use both mouse and keyboard (mouse big moves, keyboard small explorations.) Can you please give us keyboard controls in the paid versions?

Motorists Warned to Watch for Deer on Roads
Motorists are reminded to watch for deer along roadways, especially this time of year, because juvenile animals are dispersing from their home ranges.
Late October through early December is the peak period for deer-vehicle accidents. Motorists are advised to slow down and exercise caution after dark to reduce the likelihood of encounters with deer along roadways. Most deer-vehicle accidents occur primarily at dawn and dusk when deer are most often moving around.
Deer-vehicle accidents are at times unavoidable. However, motorists should be aware of warning signs signaling deer are in the area. When you see one deer cross the road, look for a second or third deer to follow. Also, motorists are urged to pay attention on roadways posted with Deer Crossing Area caution signs.
If an accident does happen, a local law enforcement agency should be contacted. Also, a permit is required to take parts or the whole carcass of a road-killed deer. Permits are free and available from game wardens and local law enforcement offices.
A few precautions can minimize chances of injury or property damage in a deer-vehicle crash.
Always wear your seat belt.
Don't swerve or take the ditch to avoid hitting a deer. Try to brake as much as possible and stay on the roadway. Don't lose control of your vehicle or slam into something else to miss the deer. You risk less injury by hitting the deer.
If you spot deer ahead, slow down immediately and honk your horn.
No published research supports the effectiveness of deer whistles on vehicles.

Last month, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police searched residence in Roberval, Quebec, which culminated in one arrest of one suspect who advertised selling pirated games through the internet and the seizure of hundreds of counterfeit games. But wait, there's more.
According to a news release by the Mounted Police, items to modify video game consoles and copy games were seized as well. This is part of a larger effort by the Mounted Police to crack down on game piracy.
"Modifying a console and computer is considered an illegal act under Section 342.1 of the Criminal Code and is punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years," reads the RCMP's statement.
The Royal Canadian Mountain Police is quite clear; however, the word of law in Section 342.1 leaves some wiggle room:
Every one who, fraudulently and without colour of right,
(a) obtains, directly or indirectly, any computer service,
(b) by means of an electro-magnetic, acoustic, mechanical or other device, intercepts or causes to be intercepted, directly or indirectly, any function of a computer system,
(c) uses or causes to be used, directly or indirectly, a computer system with intent to commit an offence under paragraph (a) or (b) or an offence under section 430 in relation to data or a computer system, or
(d) uses, possesses, traffics in or permits another person to have access to a computer password that would enable a person to commit an offence under paragraph (a), (b) or (c)
is guilty of:
(e) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or
(f) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
It could be possible to argue the "with intent" part, stating that a modded console by itself does not necessarily show "intent". (Unless copying your own games for your own consumption is illegal in Canada, too.)
Though, if the Mounties say "modifying a console and a computer is considered an illegal act", listen to them. They ride horses.

COI Funded Project: Development of a radon/methane/nitrate mapping system for a large scale assessment of submarine groundwater discharge and non-point source pollution in the coastal zone
Project Funded: 2006
Key Words: Submarine Groundwater Discharge, Coastal Pollution, Geochemical Tracers
Submarine groundwater discharge is a flow of fresh groundwater and recirculated seawater from land into the coastal zone and is recognized as a pathway of dissolved components from land to the oceans. The dissolved components often include pollutants from anthropogenic sources, for example nutrients from sewer systems or agricultural activities on land. The distribution of these sources along the coastline is not uniform, and the same is true about the magnitude of groundwater discharge. Consequently we are confronted with variable non-point source pollution on the land-ocean interface.
In order to evaluate submarine groundwater discharge and its role in non-point source pollution on a large scale (many kilometers of shoreline) we will construct a radon-methanenitrate surveying system. The surveying system is based on measurements of natural constituents of groundwater: radon and methane in coastal waters. These occur in groundwater in elevated concentrations in comparison to sea water therefore can be used as tracers of submarine groundwater discharge. Areas with high concentrations of radon and methane coupled with high nitrate values in coastal waters can then be investigated in more detail to estimate groundwater and nitrate fluxes. The promise of this technique is that we can map many kilometers of shoreline in a short time and locate areas with significant submarine groundwater discharge and non-point source pollution. Doing the same survey both in dry and wet seasons also allows us to study the seasonality of groundwater and nitrate fluxes.

These homesteaders share how to use the entire pea plant at harvest, from livestock feed to making wine.
How to Use the Entire Pea Plant
There are many ways to grow more food on less land and you've probably already heard about or tried succession planting, double cropping, and other intensive gardening tricks. "But growing is only half the story," says Eugene A. Engeldinger, of Strum, Wisconsin. "If you want your garden to really pay off, you've got to use what it produces more than once!"
My family loves peas and we've planted several varieties of the vegetable over the years. Regardless of the kind we raised, however, our homegrown crop always seemed to have the same drawback: After all the work of planting, cultivating, mulching, harvesting, and shelling . . . the few pints of (admittedly tasty) peas we finally set on the table generally struck us as a small return on our investment. Oh sure, we got a little additional satisfaction out of adding the hulled pods to the compost pile . . . but not enough to make us feel that we were coming out even on the deal.
We tried to tip the scales in our favor for a couple of years by planting only peas with edible pods. "Hey! This is the answer," we told ourselves. "Just look how much more we have to set on the table when we can eat pods and all." "This is not the answer," we immediately replied, "because we simply don't like edible pod peas as much as we like the regular kind."
And so we went back to our first love . . . but this time, thanks to our experience with edible pod peas, we had a little trick up our sleeve. "Maybe we don't want to eat pea pods," we thought, "but there's a strong possibility that some of the other inhabitants of the farm will. And if we can get that kind of mileage out of the crop, it'll be worth growing the kind of peas we really like after all."
We had just added rabbits to our homestead inventory of livestock, so we started our experiments with them. Surprise! Not only did the animals relish our "useless" pea pods (and other vegetable "wastes"), but the culls from the garden also added variety to the bunnies' diet, substantially cut our bills for rabbit feed, and became a far more desirable addition to the compost pile once they'd been transformed into rabbit manure than they'd ever been as garden scraps.
We've since learned that we can work the same kind of mutually profitable exchange with our ducks, chickens, calves, sheep . . . in fact, all the animals in our menagerie. Old-time farmers, I'm sure, have known this obvious truth all along . . . but that still doesn't keep the idea from being a worthwhile revelation to beginning back-to-the-landers.
Once we'd had our eyes opened to the possibilities, we began looking for even more ways to make our hulled-out pea pods pay their way on our little farm. And, as luck would have it, we immediately turned up a novel use for the shells that had probably been right under our noses all along: Pea Pod Wine.
We've now collected a number of recipes for this treat, but we think that the one which follows is the best of all . . . it produces a fine flavored drink that should please the palate of almost any connoisseur of homemade wine:
Wash two and a half pounds of empty pea pods and place them in a large cooking pot. Then cut up one grapefruit and two oranges-rinds and all-and add them to the container. At the same time, boil five quarts of water in a separate vessel . . . and then immediately pour it over the pods and chunks of citrus fruit. Allow the mixture to stand overnight.
Bring the contents of your cooking pot to a boil the next day and strain the solution through a piece of cheesecloth, muslin, or an old kitchen towel into a fermentation vessel. (Our local bakery purchases its pastry filling in five-gallon plastic containers and-once they're emptied-is happy to sell the pails to us for 75¢ each. A clean, new plastic garbage can or one of those wonderful old glazed-on-the-inside ceramic crocks that every farmhouse used to have in its cellar is also ideal for the job.) Promptly add four pounds of sugar to the still-hot liquid and stir the solution until the sweetening is completely dissolved. Then, after the mixture has cooled to room temperature, sprinkle one ounce of dry wine yeast across its surface.
Cover the crock with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for two weeks. Then, with a short length of sterilized plastic hose, siphon the liquid (but not the bottom inch or so of dregs) into a sterilized gallon jug. The mouth of the jug is next covered with a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap which is held in place with a rubber band just tightly enough to keep vagrant bacteria and yeast out . . . but not so tightly that fermenting gas in the container can't escape. Store the jug in a warm (but not hot), out-of-the-way place until its contents have quit "working" and all fermentation has ceased.
This fermentation may take several months. Be patient. Only when the wine is perfectly clear and contains no more bubbles, should it finally be siphoned into sterilized old wine or whiskey bottles and sealed with sterile new corks. (Do not allow the dregs which have former; in the gallon jug to siphon into the bottles as they're filled.)
Label your bottles of wine and store them on their sides in a dark cellar. Their corks, if properly set, will not dry out and little or no seepage will take place. Like many other good things, this pea pod wine improves with age. We generally make the beverage in three-gallon batches. If you prefer to do the same, just triple all the ingredients given above.
Don't try to feed the wet solids (pods, pieces of citrus, etc.), left over from the winemaking, to your rabbits. Your pigs and chickens, however, will be most pleased to dispose of them. And if your homestead has no porcine or poultry inhabitants, add the leftovers to your compost pile or bury them between unmulched rows in the garden. (Just don't throw them out on top of the soil someplace where they can attract flies and other vermin.)
If you've followed me this far, you probably won't be surprised at the nextand ultimate-step we've taken in our efforts to gain 100% utilization of the peas we grow: Yep! We now make the old vines from the plants work for us too.
As soon as we've harvested all the peas we want or can get from our plants, we pull the vines and feed them to the rabbits, chickens, or other livestock. Last summer, however, we had so many greens to give to our animals at the time the vines stopped bearing, that we tried something else: We turned what was left of the pea plants into hay.
Actually, this wasn't difficult to do . . . even by hand. We simply placed the vines in small, loose piles and turned them somewhat carefully (to keep all the leaves from falling off) every couple of days for a week. The thoroughly dried plants were then hauled to the barn, stored, and fed to our livestock during the following winter.
True, our pea vine hay is much coarser and not as green as choice alfalfa . . . but the denizens of the barn seem to appreciate it just the same. They like it so much, in fact, that we now have a brand new problem on our hands: In the past we didn't know what to do with all the old pea vines from the garden . . . and now we never have enough of the vines on hand to satisfy everyone who wants them!
Of course, if you don't have a barnful of livestock the way we do, there are still other things you can do with old pea vines. You can, for instance, plant your peas near the space you've reserved in the vegetable patch for cucumbers, squash, and/or melons. Then, when the peas are finished for the season (usually by mid-July), you can take your choice: [1] pull the vines up, run 'em through a shredder, add 'em to the compost pile, and let the cucumbers, squash, and/or melons sprawl into the vacated pea rows . . . or [2] just leave the old vines where they are, chop 'em up a little so they won't become entangled in the tines of your rototiller later in the fall, and allow the cucumber, squash, and/or melon plants to spread out right over this natural mulch.
To sum up then: Many gardeners find it worthwhile to raise their own fresh peas "just for the eating of the vegetable itself". We don't. Now that we've learned to get additional value from the pods and vines of the plant, however, fresh homegrown garden peas are back on our table to stay.

Canadian 'Digital Privacy' Bill Actually Puts Everyone's Privacy At Risk; Will Be A Boon To Trolls
from the no-anonymity deptMichael Geist is raising the alarm on a dangerous new bill in Canada, called the "Digital Privacy Act" (Bill S-4), which will actually serve to undermine many people's privacy. Much of the bill is focused on security breach disclosure rules, something that is important and useful. But, with that are some hidden, and extremely problematic, sections as well.
In light of revelations that telecom companies and Internet companies already disclose subscriber information tens of thousands of times every year without a court order, the immunity provision is enormously problematic. Yet it pales in comparison to the Digital Privacy Act, which would expand the possibility of warrantless disclosure to anyone, not just law enforcement. Bill S-4 proposes that:Of particular concern is how this could be a huge boon for copyright trolls, who can get information from ISPs without a court order, by simply claiming that it's for the purpose of "investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada." Similarly, this would put a serious chill on protections for anonymous speech, as claims of defamation or other issues might lead to quick revelations of anonymous commenters, without any role for a Canadian court to balance the interests of free speech and privacy.
"an organization may disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual... if the disclosure is made to another organization and is reasonable for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province that has been, is being or is about to be committed and it is reasonable to expect that disclosure with the knowledge or consent of the individual would compromise the investigation;
Unpack the legalese and you find that organizations will be permitted to disclose personal information without consent (and without a court order) to any organization that is investigating a contractual breach or possible violation of any law. This applies both past breaches or violations as well as potential future violations. Moreover, the disclosure occurs in secret without the knowledge of the affected person (who therefore cannot challenge the disclosure since they are not aware it is happening).
It's difficult to see how a bill that is supposed to be about protecting people's privacy actually has this clause that will effectively decimate privacy for many individuals. Industry Canada insists that this provision is narrowly targeted, but Geist highlights how the government rejected much narrower constructions, and seems unable to comprehend how disastrous the current bill will be for Canadians' privacy.

NEW ORLEANS - At WWE Axxess on Friday, I got a chance to talk to a few WWE Superstars. Needless to say, a lot of the discussion centred around WrestleMania XXX, but there are some other tidbits for you to enjoy from Roddy Piper, Brodus Clay, Ricardo Rodriguez, Paul Heyman and Jim Ross.
We were really limited both with time and the number of questions we were allowed to ask, so I wouldn't call any of these more than sound-bites.
The Rowdy One, who was in the main event of the first WrestleMania, was asked what his favourite Mania moment was.
"I think my favourite WrestleMania moment was going to the ring for WrestleMania III," said Piper. "Because when the (ring-shaped mini) cart (that transported the wrestlers to and from the ring), it broke. I don't know what happened to it. And there's Vince saying, 'wait, wait.' And I said, 'nah, I'm gone.' I ran down (the entrance way), and that was the first time that I'd looked at all the people. Everybody was on their feet. They were shouting so loudly that Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura who were sitting right there couldn't hear each other. It was a moment that only you people could give me, and I'll never forget that."
The Canadian-born Scotsman was also asked about Mr. T's induction into the Hall of Fame. The two have a lot of history, both with the first Mania main event of Piper and Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, and WrestleMania II, when Piper faced Mr. T in a boxing match.
"At the time, Mr. T was the most popular television celebrity," began Piper. "And I think that he deserves to be in the celebrity branch of the Hall of Fame. I give him all credit for that."
WWE heavyweight Brodus Clay is slated to participate in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on Sunday, and considered his chances.
"For big men, it's definitely changed. You have to be a really special kind of big man. You still have an advantage - size does still matter - and if it's used correctly, it can be a big advantage," he said. "There will always be room for big men. But you can't just be big anymore, you've got to be cunning, you've got to be smart, you've got to be physical. You have to really train in your mind like a small guy."
After being dropped at the last minute from the card last year at WrestleMania -- as dramatized in the first season of Total Divas, Clay is back on the card. Two years ago, he didn't wrestle, but instead The Funkasaurus was a part of a big dance show with dancing mamas.
"I've been training hard. This year hasn't gone as great as I wanted it to in terms of where I'd be in my career," admitted Clay. "But I took the downtime to dedicate myself to the gym and diet, so come WrestleMania, I'm going to be ready."
Paul Heyman was in full character mode as he previewed the Brock Lesnar bout at WMXXX against The Undertaker. It's the second year in a row that Heyman is involved in the Undertaker's match, which he was asked about.
"I don't think it should identified any longer as 'The Undertaker's match,'" said Heyman. "I think it should now be identified as 'The Paul Heyman's Guy Match,' for which The Undertaker should be eternally grateful to me to allow him to be part of such a prestigious event."
At the moment, Rodriguez has been doing commentary, and addressed the new gig.
"It's definitely different, but I enjoy it. I like having another hat to wear. Obviously, as an entertainer it gives us more value if we're not just one thing. It helps that the company gives us the opportunity to show our value," Rodriguez said. "For me, my in-ring experience helps (me be a better commentator). I know the moves, I know what they're called. I have my history from being in wrestling for the past eight years now, so of course it helps."
Not a commentator any longer, or a WWE employee for that matter, Jim Ross was at Axxess signing autographs.
He was asked about his two shows at the House of Blues in New Orleans on Thursday, where he told stories and brought up two special guests. [Note: I was there, and wrote about -- Jim Ross gets a little help from his friends.]
"I had a blast. It over-achieved at the box office, and I thought creatively, with Jim Cornette and then 'Stone Cold' (Steve Austin) there, it added a lot to it," Ross said. "I had a lot of fun, and I think the audience did. I'm looking forward to bringing the show to Toronto on May 9th - it's going to be big."

Van Deventer Successful in NCAA Regionals Qualification Bid
PRINCETON, N.J. – Yale freshman John McGowan was the lone Eli to compete n the final day of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America (IC4A) Championships, and he made the most of his opportunity. McGowan qualified for the finals of the 1500-meter run by running the 11th-fastest time in prelims yesterday (3:49.77). Sunday's race was significantly slower, but McGowan managed to hold the same postion with a time of 3:57.33.
McGowan has shown tremendous promise this season, emerging as one of Yale's premier middle distance runners. His PR of 3:49.37 is third-best on the team, and he has repeatedly risen to the level of his competition. At IC4As, he was the only freshman in the field to make the final in the 1500-meter run, and one of only two underclassmen.
The Bulldogs finished 34th at the IC4A meet with seven total points.
Elsewhere, senior John Van Deventer ran an outstanding race in the 1500-meter run at UVA. Van Deventer, who saw his season dramatically shortened due to injuries and did not qualify for IC4As, registered for the Virginia Challenge in order to compete against some of the best competition in the country in a last-gasp attempt at qualifying for the NCAA East Regional. The race came last night, and Van Deventer exceeded all expectations by running a phenomenal time of 3:45.01, well beneath the NCAA qualification standard of 3:47.81. Van Deventer placed fourth in his heat and 15th overall. Binghamton's Erik van Ingen won the race with the fastest time in the nation this year (3:38.06).
In all, 4 Elis have qualified for NCAA Regionals. Senior Matthew Bieszard, junior Mike Levine, senior Nathan Richards and Van Deventer will travel to Jacksonville, Fla. in two weeks for a chance to make it to the national meet in Des Moines, Iowa.
Report by Eian Katz '13, Yale Sports Publicity

Welcome Back
Would you like a more personal Christmas? Less commercial, not so much battling shops n crowds at the last-minute? There is another way, a couple of years ago I started shopping earlier and hand-making gifts. You get to stay in the warm, maybe have your fave movie on in the background and create a gift that the recipient will treasure because you put into it something you just can't buy..your love and your time.
Today I'd like to share some links to projects and ideas that would make great Christmas gifts created with fabrics, some will take more time than others but most will be achievable to everyone, even those very new to sewing.
Sew your way to a Happier Christmas
Easy Fleece hats.
These take very little fabric and would be great extra gifts and ideal for little uns too.
Fleece hat with Ear Flaps DIY tutorial by Craft Gemini. Includes free pattern
Easy to sew Pyjama trousers.
If you are new to sewing these are ideal, can be made to create pj trousers of any size
Whitney sews PJ Trousers.
If you have a pattern but are confused by construction this is the video for you
Handmade Pajama Trousers
Sneak a pair of your recipients fave pj trousers and recreate them in the new fabric.
Wrap Vest
A great gift for women of all ages, I'd overcast the edges for a more long-lasting result but a handy stash busting last-minute gift.
Christmas Tree Skirt by Debbie Shore
Are you fed up with the nylon and velour tree skirts available in the shops? Why not create your own to match your decor in quality fabrics. Love up your tree with this great project.
Zipped Make up Bag by Debbie Shore
This is a great project for the girls but alter the fabric and colours to make a wash kit bag for the boys or the size to make a pencil-case for the kids.
Laptop Bag by Debbie Shore
Ahh kids (of all ages) today are so in love with technology aren't they. How about creating a little softness in their world with some amazing fabrics you can make this laptop cover. Alter the size and it could also work for a tablet or e-reader too.
If you want to include your own designs or images in your projects, you can buy printable fabric from Crafty Computer Paper. How about making T-shirts with your fave pics on, or tote bags with your kids or pet pictures on.
Opps got a bit carried away again, but hopefully there is something for everyone on your list. I would love to know if you make something handmade this Christmas and do share a picture if you do.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

I think the left and environmentalists need to embrace nuclear power. There are plans for EDF and British Gas to build four reactors, and it is likely that those would be the first of many; Hitachi, GDF Suez and Iberdrola are all interested in building new nuclear in the UK.
Why new nuclear? Well, I was initially a reluctant supporter, but when it comes to large scale, uninterrupted base load generation it is hard to beat nuclear. Plus, no carbon. Not none really, building things emits carbon, but near enough for it to be properly counted as a renewable fuel.
EDF have just announced they are planning on running their existing UK nuclear fleet for another 34 years (that's across three plants, Hinkley Point, Hunterston and Sizewell). Increasing their life like this will do enough to reduce carbon emissions equivalent to removing all the cars from UK roads for nearly five years. It is about 340 million tonnes of carbon that won't be emitted. That is just from running longer our existing plants – that's a big plus for the planet and for people.
But, there are huge problems with nuclear power in Europe.
First of all, Sellafield, it is a mess. Honestly, it is even worse than you imagine. Look it up, the National Audit Office have a report and Wikipedia have some background. Building 30 sounds pretty fucked up especially. And I've heard some odd things about the Seagulls that live there – huge they are. However, we are better at dealing with waste now and things are today built so that it is easy to take them apart safely.
That brings us to building, which is the real problem. No Europeans have built Nuclear Power Plants to budget for years. France and Finland have both fucked up colossally. Like three times above cost and behind schedule. Ludicrously badly. However, despite this, all is not lost. The Japanese and Chinese have built ahead of schedule. They don't have special Asian-aptitude powers, anybody can do it if the corrupt, incompetent, unproductive Chinese can.
So to the problems of nuclear, I would say that they are in the past or that they can be overcome. The promise of nuclear energy is in predictable energy and tons of it with tons of carbon. I think it is the best bet for decarbonising the economy and I think serious environmentalists need to get behind it.
