The fabric shower curtain liners are made of the highest quality nylon material. The 100% Oxford nylon fabric with added barrier water protection are heavy-weight material woven with 200 denier Dupont thread and a 64 x 56 count. All of the nylon fabrics have a firm hand finish but are soft and supple. The shower curtain liners are the quality used in fine hotels. In fact we have supplied one of the top 50 rated hotels in the world.
All shower curtains are constructed with a reinforced triple folded header, 1⅜ inches wide, reinforced with a strip of no-tear buckram, and have 30 metal rust proof grommets. Side hems are 1/2 inch wide, double folded. Bottom hems contain a heavy chain weight, covered with a mildew resistant material, which is stitched in to the bottom of the hem. We adjust the length of the liner shower curtain to be about 7 inches from the bottom of the bathtub and 1/2-to-1 inch from shower pan floor.
The white and parchment shower curtain liners can be made with micro mesh insert that allows for light and air circulation. The 100% Nylon mesh insert has a micro mesh knit pattern. The mesh curtain is reinforced and double stitched on to the shower curtain for added durability. The solid curtain liners are available in white, parchment, or champagne. Standard sizes and custom lengths/widths are available.
We will adjust the height of your curtain based on your ceiling height and the 2½" that the TRAX hook hangs down from the ceiling. If you have a different style shower rod or would like an exact length please make a note in the message box.
The shower curtain liners clean easily with soap and water. They can be machine washed with the gentle cycle using mild detergent and no bleach. The liners can be line or tumble dried on a low setting. A fabric care tag is sewn into the shower curtain liner.
The shipping charge for ordering just a shower curtain is $10. It is sent via US Priority Mail. To Canada we use US Priority Mail International and the single shower curtain charge is $30. When curtains are ordered along with a track the total shipping charge is $40 for the whole package and it is sent via UPS.

Published October 4, 2013
Traffic is light as you merge on the highway. But a few miles ahead, near a busy intersection, it starts to snow and cars are spinning off the road.
The risk for an accident has increased greatly. You should slow down or exit the highway.
That's the message from your vehicle, which is connected to a data-mining system that tracks real-time traffic via cameras, toll barriers and other devices. While not available yet, such a system is under development at UB, which leads a research group that recently received a $1.4 million grant to develop high-tech solutions for our nation's transportation issues.
Awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the grant is a significant boost for UB's new Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics. It will fund multi-disciplinary research that utilizes data fusion and, ultimately, improves the safety and efficiency of our highways, transit systems and other transportation-system components.
"Our goal is to gather and analyze the wealth of data being collected by GPS units, smartphones and other devices," says Adel Sadek, a UB civil engineer and the lead investigator. "We'll then use this information to enhance the safety, sustainability, economic competitiveness and resiliency of our transportation system, and to inform transportation policy."
Big data is a term used to describe data sets that are too large and too complex to process using traditional methods. As a result, researchers build computer models that sort, or "mine," the information to find relevant correlations.
Sadek, a professor in UB's Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, applies the method to transportation systems. For example, he is working on a model that mines historic data and considers current conditions to predict future border-crossing delays. Another model provides motorists with directions designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from their vehicle.
As described earlier, another component of using big data to solve transportation problems involves outfitting vehicles with systems that observe road conditions and other pertinent data. The vehicles then send data to a processing center that analyzes it and replies to the vehicles with useful information, such as to avoid ice-covered roads.
An example of this is underway in the Buffalo Niagara region. CUBRC, a not-for-profit research corporation based in Cheektowaga, has equipped hundreds of vehicles with cameras and sensors that aim to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the driver, vehicle and road conditions.
CUBRC will collaborate with UB and the institutes of higher learning funded by the grant—Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, George Mason University and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez—to analyze the data to better understand traffic safety and driver behavior.
The grant, which recognizes UB as one of 33 University Transportation Centers nationwide, comes months after UB established the Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics, a joint effort between the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the School of Management.
The institute is one of 10 initiatives created via the university's 2012-13 E-Fund program.
"The grant follows a substantial new investment by UB in specific, high-impact, high-return strategic initiatives that are responsive to NY SUNY 2020 and UB priorities," says Liesl Folks, engineering school dean. "This new collaborative research program will allow UB and its partners to make a significant impact in this area of national concern."
These articles are great, and it reminds me of something a graduate level economics teacher told me back around 1990 at UB.
A group of us were in a Saturday study session/lab and we were struggling with the economics class. After much frustration, the teacher finally said, "Figure it out for yourself. I don't get paid to teach." In a state of shock, we all said, "excuse me?" He then said, "I get paid to research."
I wonder how all these research dollars impact the ability of the teachers/researchers to teach?
Warren Hamilton
Any excuse for further data mining is a bad excuse. This information is already available and has been for years. People act like we all wandered around in a confused daze before the Internet and smartphones were proliferated. Oh geez. What is that strange white stuff falling on the roads from the sky above? If only someone would receive a research grant to tell me that I should slow down when the roads are icy. Whatever shall I do?

All the stuff went for the raffle. We had two drawings at 2:30 and 3:30. We drew crowds of over 300 each time.
I think this was a HUGE success, EVERY time I stopped by, there was at least 10-20 people around the table... can't wait for C5!!!
There were no pictures taken during the raffle. We were too busy running it.

The cast of Family Ties gathered on the Today Show this morning in honor of a new book — titled Sit, Ubu, Sit — written the show's producer, Gary David Goldberg. After an interview with Matt Lauer, the TV family returned for another sitdown with co-host Al Roker, who passed on viewers' questions, one of which was directed at the females in the cast and had to do with the stay-slim standards of beauty in Hollywood. Although none of the women seemed interested in delving into the issue, Tina Yothers let it slip that she considered herself "a big kid" and that carrot sticks were provided by producers... perhaps as a subtle suggestion that she lose weight. Clip above (and listen for Tina's TV dad's undermining comment about Clydesdales).

Set Your Mobile Employees Free with UC
A unified communications solution provides the tools to work from anywhere on any device
Whether telecommuting is a privilege for your employees or a necessity for your small business, chances are good that at least a couple people in your company work from home or while on the road. Many small companies enable telecommuting via a virtual private network (VPN), which is a good first step in giving employees remote access to business resources on your network. But for folks to be as productive away from the office as they are in the office, they need additional collaboration tools provided by unified communications (UC). If you've built the right network for your business—one that supports your existing needs and future applications—you can more easily add UC to further untether your mobile employees.
Every UC solution is different because it's tailored to fit a business's specific needs. UC integrates various communication applications, including voice and voicemail, email, instant messaging, and web conferencing, on one network and provides users with a single interface for accessing these applications. Your unified communications solution might be as simple as a universal inbox for voicemail and email messages or could include a range of applications from an integrated inbox to presence and video conferencing. Regardless of the components you choose, a UC solution will help employees be more productive, collaborate more effectively, and communicate more easily.
UC and telecommuting—a perfect match
UC is tailor-made to both untether mobile employees and unite them with their colleagues. Unified communications enables flexible and seamless communications from any device, so employees can work more effectively from any location while still being as reachable as any employee in the office.
With a UC solution, remote workers can use presence technologies to see who is available online and easily initiate a chat for a quick Q&A via instant messaging, for example. With click-to-call features, mobile workers can move that chat to a voice call or a web conference if more people need to be pulled into the conversation. Essentially, UC gives remote employees the same kind of access to their colleagues as they have when working in the office.
One device convenience
Unified communications makes it easier to work remotely in many ways. One of the features that truly liberates mobile workers is single-number reach. With a UC solution like Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series for Small Business or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 and 6000, employees can have one phone number that rings at their desk phones in the office and on their mobile phones, ensuring they never miss a call. Single-number reach offers a range of benefits that provide flexibility and improve productivity, such as transferring a live call from a desktop phone to a mobile phone and a single voicemail box.
Choosing a UC solution can be tricky. This post offers three tips for finding the best solution to fit your small business.
What tools do your mobile workers find most useful?

"What Does it All Mean?
"Why did these ancient sites which took vast efforts to build, and are found in remote locations all around the world, all center around the event of the winter solstice and share remarkable similarities in the symbolism used in connection with it? Each of these sites incorporate astrological events into a place of spiritual reverence. These sites reveal that what happens above, tells us about our world below, and most importantly, about ourselves. They show the great link between the human and divine, revealing as they do, the pathway between the two, which we can bridge through the process the sacred wheel of the year reveals, to reach enlightenment."
Ancient Sacred Sites Aligned to the Winter Solstice
The Spiritual Meaning of the Winter Solstice
Photos and history of their winter solstice traditions reveal how important enlightenment was to the ancients. In times before understanding astronomy, and other sciences, there were stories, usually involving spirits, or gods, or saviors, or rebirth, of new knowledge that gave them hope of the returning sun and new growth. Learn about English, Irish, Mexican, Peruvian, Chilean, Mexican ... and many more Pre-Christian Winter Solstice celebrations.

I would restate the author's statement, Each of these sites incorporate astronomical events into a place of ...
You got it, all right. The modern Jesus Christ was a combination of the old death and resurrection gods and their myths (e.g. Osiris/Horus) and the regenerative deities of pagan peoples, e.g. Attis and Cybele, whose rites included the pine tree and as central figure, Attis having sacrificed himself attached to a pine (the cognate of crucifixion). Jesus was dreamed up by the the Pauline bishops minus the Arians, in league with the Mithraic Constantine, who saw the value of attaching worship of Reb Yeshua at the time of Sol Invictus. Jesus is a solar deity. There have been dozens. Use of the Christmas tree at this time is anathema to some sects because it reminds them of the book of Jeremiah, which prohibits trees with lights at this time.
All modern religions are simply the current point in their evolution. An evolution that follows the general theory of bionic evolution. From simple cells to complex organisms (and then a cancerous growth). The stages of religion's evolution can be mapped as we map living and extinct life forms - all life forms evolved from previous forms as do religions.....personally I would prefer worshjpping trees - at least you can see a frigging tree.
Oh yes! James and Jim, enjoying trees and mountains and lakes and streams and birds and fish and .... all nature and all peoples of the Earth provide ample reason to celebrate. i also like the time of dark days to hibernate. With family and friends, songs and dancing, 'tis the season for candle light and aromas from the kitchen. When considering the wheel of the year, this is one of my favorites.
I've always said that I have far more respect for any religion that worships the sun than any religion that worships an invisible, ethereal creation of the imagination. We can see and feel the sun, and without it we would all perish. Not that I would ever worship it myself, but it is essential to most all forms of life, particularly ours.
I like your being aware of the sun and its significance in our lives. Gratitude for the everyday event makes sense to me.
I try to think how it must have been, to live in a community that built Stonehenge or some other giant calender. These people understood that it worked, but had no idea how it worked, or why. Yet they were able to pick the right times for sowing and harvesting with these stones; crucial knowledge to survive. Small wonder that thoughts of magic grew out of it.
I have visited several ancient calenders and marvel at ancient minds recognizing patterns of astronomy. Or tried to figure out how ancients arrived at complex number patterns such as angles and ratios. The idea of making connections, even before they understood flat Earth/round Earth principles leaves me in wonder. Yet we benefit by all these discoveries ... not that they invented them but discovered them.
It is comforting knowing the sun rises and sets, and at predictable times, and the year has its seasons. Will we be wise enough to recognize change in patterns and find ways to adjust to them? Some will, I am sure, and I plan to be flexible enough to make my necessary changes, hopefully without complaint. It is also comforting to know others recognize changes and seek to make necessary adjustments and adaptations.
No magic involved here; keen observations and sharing ideas and solutions fits really good. Glad you are a resource, Chris.

(This question came up in a conversation with my professor last week.)
Let $\langle G,\cdot \rangle$ be a group. Let $x$ be an element of $G$.
Is there always an isomorphism $f : G \to G$ such that $f(x) = x^{-1}$ ?
What if $G$ is finite?
The Mathieu group $M_{11}$ does not have this property. A quote from Example 2.16 in this paper: "Hence there is no automorphism of $M_{11}$ that maps $x$ to $x^{−1}$."
Background how I found this quote as I am no group theorist: I used Google on "groups with no outer automorphism" which led me to this Wikipedia article, and from there I jumped to this other Wikipedia article. So I learned that $M_{11}$ has no outer automorphism. Then I used Google again on "elements conjugate to their inverse in the mathieu group" which led me to the above mentioned paper.
EDIT: Following Geoff Robinson's comment let me show that any element $x\in M_{11}$ of order 11 has this property, using only basic group theory and the above Wikipedia article. The article tells us that $M_{11}$ has 7920 elements of which 1440 have order 11. So $M_{11}$ has 1440/10=144 Sylow 11-subgroups, each cyclic of order 11. These subgroups are conjugates to each other by one of the Sylow theorems, so each of them has a normalizer subgroup of order 7920/144=55. In particular, if $x$ and $x^{-1}$ were conjugate to each other, then they were so by an element of odd order. This, however, is impossible as any element of odd order acts trivially on a 2-element set.
No, such an isomorphism does not always exist, and the smallest counterexample is $G=C_5\rtimes C_4$ with $C_4$ acting faithfully. It is not hard to see that the only automorphisms of $G$ are inner, and that they cannot map an element of order 4 to its inverse.
Here's a comment which might as well be written down. If $f$ is required to be an inner automorphism, then for $G$ finite this question can be understood using the character table of $G$:
$x$ is conjugate to its inverse if and only if $\chi(x)$ is real for all characters $\chi$.
Since $\chi(x^{-1}) = \overline{ \chi(x) }$, one direction is clear. In the other direction, if $\chi(x)$ is real then $\chi(x) = \chi(x^{-1})$ for all characters $\chi$, hence $c(x) = c(x^{-1})$ for all class functions $c$. One also has the following cute result: the number of conjugacy classes which are closed under inversion is equal to the number of irreducible characters all of whose values are real (equivalently, the number of self-dual irreps). Since there exist plenty of groups (even simple groups) whose character tables have complex entries, there are plenty of groups with elements not conjugate to their inverses.
This is one way to address the question for finite groups with no outer automorphisms.

The Muppets, Oprah Winfrey and Donald Sutherland are among the latest batch of celebrities chosen to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced Thursday.
The heavy-hitters were chosen from among hundreds of nominations reviewed by a chamber committee then approved by the chamber Board of Directors.
"It was not an easy job to winnow down the extra-large number of nominations this year to reach these 30 names, and many deserving names were left for future consideration," said John Pavlik, chairman of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Committee.
The celebrities chosen to receive stars in the motion picture category were Penelope Cruz, Bruce Dern, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Ed Harris, The Muppets, Kenny Ortega, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ridley Scott, Sissy Spacek, Donald Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon.
In the television category, the recipients will be Danny DeVito, Tina Fey, Simon Fuller, Neil Patrick Harris, John Langley, Ed O'Neill, John Wells and Oprah Winfrey.
Chosen in the recording category were Melissa Etheridge, Los Tigres Del Norte, Rascal Flatts, Go-Go's, Slash, will.i.am and Bebe & Cece Winans.
Joe Mantegna was chosen in the live performance/theater category.
No dates have been set for the installation ceremonies. Chosen recipients have five years from the date of their selection to schedule the ceremony, according to the chamber.

The MozRepl extension embeds into Conkeror a JavaScript repl accessible via TCP connection to a port listening on localhost, usually 4242. In some cases, it may be more convenient than M-: and in particular, it includes an Emacs Lisp package that provides an inferior JavaScript shell interface to Conkeror using MozRepl (more information here).
After installing MozRepl, add one of the following blocks of code to your rc. The first will make the MozRepl server start at Conkeror's startup. The second will start the server immediately, and has the additional property of letting you easily customize the port it listens on.
user_pref('extensions.mozrepl.autoStart', true);
// Mozrepl // if ('@hyperstruct.net/mozlab/mozrepl;1' in Cc) { let mozrepl = Cc['@hyperstruct.net/mozlab/mozrepl;1'] .getService(Ci.nsIMozRepl); if (! mozrepl.isActive()) mozrepl.start(4242); }
Environment Setup
Here is how to set up mozrepl to start in the Conkeror application context. That is the main context that contains all of Conkeror's global objects.
First make a file called ~/.mozrepl-conkeror.js, which contains the code that follows.
var conkeror = Cc["@conkeror.mozdev.org/application;1"] .getService().wrappedJSObject; this.enter(conkeror);
Now put the following code into your .conkerorrc:
let (mozrepl_init = get_home_directory()) { mozrepl_init.appendRelativePath(".mozrepl-conkeror.js"); session_pref('extensions.mozrepl.initUrl', make_uri(mozrepl_init).spec); }
(Would it be helpful to have a sample session transcript here, showing what can be done?)
Scripting Conkeror in bash via MozREPL
I found and improved a library of bash shell script functions for driving MozREPL by someone called Philippe Cassignol and put it on GitHub: https://github.com/PhilHudson/bash-mozrepl
He had the excellent idea of using the expect shell command and built a basic (and, he humbly admitted, somewhat crude) implementation. I cleaned it up, added some sed magic and a trivial expect script change to strip extraneous output passed on from the REPL, changed some code to debug-only and added a debug toggle, un-hard-coded a temporary file location, added a small French-to-English lexicon in a comment block to aid maintainers, and got rid of one misplaced (and commented-out) instruction. Otherwise, it's his work.
To use the functions, you need to load mozrepl.sh into a bash shell script or an interactive bash shell using the . or source command, not execute it.
To use mozrepl.sh with Conkeror, you must not pre-load the .mozrepl-conkeror.js snippets from the "Environment Setup" section above; the library is designed to work with a "vanilla" MozREPL in either Conkeror or Firefox/Iceweasel.
Philippe Cassignol's original code can be found here: http://philippe.cassignol.pagesperso-orange.fr/2012/mozrepl.sh
I will continue to improve the library as ideas occur to me. If you have your own, either fork the project on GitHub and send a pull request with your changes, or raise an issue on the project's GitHub page.

Supermodel Elle Macpherson and hotelier Jeffrey Soffer are married!
The couple tied the knot during an "intimate" wedding in Fiji in July, according to reports.
"Jeff and Elle eloped a month ago," a source told People. "They wanted to keep it a secret."
Soffer is said to be "low-key" and "likes to do things in private." Their tropical nuptials diverged from their original plan to get hitched in Aspen this fall, the mag said.
"They are very happy and head over heels in love," the source added.
The Aussie supermodel, 49, and the Miami-based real estate developer exchanged vows during a "day wedding" that is said to have taken place at a villa in front of about 15 guests, a hotel rep told Australia's Who magazine, adding that the ceremony took place in mid-July.
Macpherson's two sons with former boyfriend Arpad Busson -- Arpad Flynn, 15, and Aurelius Cy, 10 -- were in attendance. Macpherson, her boys and her now-husband are said to have vacationed in Fiji the week before.
News of the couple's engagement surfaced last March.
The former "Fashion Star" host and Soffer dated for about two years before breaking up in March 2012. They reportedly rekindled their romance when Soffer injured his back in November 2012 after a helicopter crash in the Bahamas that killed one of his friends.
Macpherson was previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon for about three years before divorcing in 1989. This is also Soffer's second marriage.

New Plug & Play, Portable Music Player is Designed Especially for slotMusic™ Cards; Popular Artists Have Their Own Personalized MP3 Players
MILPITAS, Calif., (October 15, 2008) -SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a leading seller of MP3 players and flash memory cards, today unveiled the Sansa® slotMusic™ Player, the easiest MP3 player for loading and listening to music on the go. The plug & play, portable music player was specially designed for use with the new slotMusic cards available today in the United States. In addition to the Sansa-branded player, SanDisk has created personalized, branded slotMusic players for popular artists such as Robin Thicke and ABBA. Both types of slotMusic Players are shipping to U.S. stores today - including Best Buy and Wal-Mart.
The Sansa slotMusic Player (MSRP $19.99) was made to play slotMusic card albums or a self-loaded microSD™ card full of music. The effortless player doesn't require a PC, Internet or any time spent managing music. Consumers simply choose their slotMusic or music-filled microSD card, pop it into the device and will be enjoying their favorite tunes in seconds.
The unique, artist-branded slotMusic Player is a stylish, all-in-one package, which includes both the slotMusic card and a trendy player bearing their favorite artist's name and image. The branded player comes pre-loaded with an album on a 1GB1slotMusic card. (Additional content on the card may include liner notes, album art and other one-of-a-kind content personally chosen by the artist.) Artist-branded slotMusic players will retail for a MSRP of $34.99.
Announced last month, slotMusic is a new format of high-fidelity, DRM-free MP3 music on a microSD card, which gives consumers the ability to easily listen to-and quickly swap-their favorite songs among a mobile phone, personal computer, and any MP3 player with a microSD slot. slotMusic cards available this month will feature nearly 40 of the biggest names in music from all four major music labels: EMI Music, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Artists on slotMusic cards include Robin Thicke, Katy Perry and Coldplay. (Media note: see associated press release.)
"With no need for computers or cords, the Sansa slotMusic Player gives consumers more time to play, and less time to worry about managing or downloading their music," said Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president and general manager for SanDisk. "SanDisk is all about building products that are easy for consumers to enjoy. Just insert your favorite artist's slotMusic card into the Sansa slotMusic player and press play."
Perfect for those on the go, the small device can easily be tucked in a pocket or purse, with a weight of a little over two ounces and dimensions of 2.75" W x 1.4375" H x 1.4375" D.
SanDisk has also developed a special line of Sansa slotMusic Player accessories, including a Sansa Card Wallet, an armband, and additional slotMusic player "shells" for customizing a player to one's own tastes.
In addition to slotMusic cards, this convenient MP3 player can play songs from any microSD card with music encoded as MP3 and WMA (DRM-free only) files. The industry leader in flash memory cards, SanDisk is currently selling microSD cards in a range of capacity with up to an astounding 16GB of capacity. 16GB can hold up to 4,000 MP3 songs2.
The Sansa-branded players ship with a customizable black shell, earphones and battery. The new Sansa slotMusic Player, both Sansa-branded (without cards) and artist-branded (including cards), is expected to be available from retailers in Europe and other regions of the world in 2009.
The Sansa slotMusic Player brings yet another dimension to SanDisk's Sansa audio/video product family, which includes the popular Sansa® Fuze™ and video-centric Sansa® View, both of which accept with slotMusic cards. The Sansa line offers consumers unprecedented choice for enjoying their favorite media on the go through affordable, easy to use, fun & fashionable music players.

Evidence that speculative auto-dependant sprawl was one of the major factors behind the Great Recession is emerging through real estate market studies of major US metro areas, from Washington DC to Southern California.
Note the New York Times on November 6 (p.A13):
New research about the recession has also bolstered one of transit's central premises -- that highway-driven sprawl is bad for a city's economic health. Recent studies at the University of Utah, for example, concluded that foreclosure rates in the Washington area were much lower in counties served by the Metro rail system, compared with the next ring of counties farther out, and that home prices in Phoenix had also fallen in direct proportion to the distance from downtown.
A new report I wrote for the Post Carbon Institute (link to pdf) includes the case of Victorville, California, a virtually 100 percent auto-dependent city of 107,000 that grew from 64,000 in 2000. Real estate prices started to crash in this Mojave desert community in 2006 when gas hit $2 a gallon. Victorville is now one of the foreclosure capitals of the nation, as home prices fell from an average of well over $325,000 in 2007 to under $125,000 in 2009.
Source: City-data.com (11/09)
The market was so decimated that large new homes, some might call them McMansions, were demolished in Victorville (see photo at beginning of post) earlier this year to free the city from liability resulting from possible vandalism, crime and fire danger.
As gas prices hit $3 and $4 a gallon, people couldn't afford the thousands of dollars of extra gas expenses that were required to commute to the Los Angeles area, which is almost 100 miles away. As a result, home prices crashed, foreclosures proliferated, developers went bankrupt, and the city and the region are now suffering. At the same time, San Bernardino County was successfully sued by the California Attorney General's office for allowing development in its communities, such as Victorville, with disregard for global climate change and regional air pollution.
Similar imploding exurban real estate prices started the 2007-2009 national foreclosure crisis, with these toxic assets setting off the derivatives financial meltdown and, you know the rest...
Victorville is by no means an isolated example. The amount of suburban and exurban development that occurred in the 1990s and early 2000s when fuel prices hit their historic low prices (see graph below) has created a massive expanse of excess houses and infrastructure requiring untold resources to build and maintain.
Largely because of such sprawl, stimulated by inexpensive gas prices and a lack of local government controls, California's main source of greenhouse gases come from the transportation sector.
Clearly it's time for the focus on "green cities" to expand outward to greening the suburbs and the exurbs, because that's where the majority of our nation's population resides. Though 80 percent of the nation lives in urban (developed) areas, only 20 percent of those "urbanites" live in big cities. About 60 percent of US population lives in metro area 'burbs of under 100,000.
During the last three years, outer-suburban or exurban areas lost far more value than real estate in urban or suburban areas served by public transit with walkable, bikeable and mixed-use zoning options as my report and others, such as Prof. Arthur C. Nelson's at the University of Utah, are demonstrating.
This is the first time in US history that sprawled low-density suburbs or exurbs have fallen faster in average value than city or inner-suburban areas; suddenly "Smart Growth" is more than a niche market or trend--it will be at the core of financially successful planning and development.
Greater density with non-auto mobility options is going to dominate development as long as we have climate change, volatile resource availability (particularly water) and high gas prices. In addition to economics, there are demographics. The nation's dramatically aging population consists of more single people, retired couples and empty-nesters who want apartments or condos from which they can walk, bike and ride buses or use subways and light rail.
The redesign of suburbs and exurbs will require some painful Victorville-type actions that may waste resources, such as tearing down certain neighborhoods or homes. There are other options, however. Ellen Dunham-Jones and June Williamson demonstrate design examples in their excellent 2009 book, Retrofitting Suburbia.
Not all future metro areas need to follow the hub-and-spoke format with central cities and their suburbs. Metro areas might consider, for instance, designing growth and transit corridors around multiple regional centers of economic activity, which was the aim of the Los Angeles area's Compass Blueprint.
California's anti-sprawl Senate Bill 375 is the nation's first such statewide measure. It now is being guided by an official strategic growth process, which is being led by a council with modeling tools for preferred scenarios developed by Calthorpe Associates, transit-oriented development champion Peter Calthorpe's Berkeley, CA firm.
On a more granular level, cul-de-sacs, which are impediments to non-automotive mobility, can be re-engineered to accommodate more direct walking and biking access.
Some innovative buyers are devising ways to use the glut of unoccupied or unsold large homes for business or residential purposes other than single-family living. Based on major shifts in market demand, home builders are downsizing and are constructing more energy-efficiently.
The days of plowing productive agricultural areas under for suburban home tracts and strip malls may be coming to an end. A Denver suburban home developer is incorporating working agricultural land into unsold tract home land plots in numerous communities, in what is being billed as "Agriburbia."
Clearly, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emission reduction and resource conservation are becoming guiding factors for much more than regulatory and environmental compliance, they are beginning to dictate the very economies upon which our metro regions operate.
We must now rethink how to develop our communities so that sprawl does not re-emerge, and relegate it to history, as an oddity from the era when gas was cheap, the climate was forgiving and resources were seemingly endless.

Thor Motor Coach is debuting a redesigned Windsport motorhome at America's Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pa., along with the company's all new HD-MAX full-color exterior graphics packages. The event opened Monday (Sept. 10) and runs through Saturday at the Giant Center.
According to a press release, the gas-powered Class A Windsport is currently in its 16th year of production. "With some much improved changes to modernize the Windsport, dealers and retail consumers are going to love what the new Windsport has to offer," said Jon Krider, director of product planning at Thor Motor Coach.
The new front cap on the Windsport reveals aggressive headlight styling and large panoramic windshield while the rear cap is highlighted with vertical LED taillights. The coach's interior ceiling height has been raised providing more living space and increased cabinet storage. The five available floorplans for the Windsport motorhomes start at 30 feet and extend up to 35 feet. The Windsport 35-foot 34E is also making its debut at this year'sshow, offering a rear bath plus an additional half-bath at mid-ship.
Along with new styling, the 2013 Windsport will sport Thor Motor Coach's all-new HD-MAX exterior graphics packages. According to Thor, HD-MAX full-color exteriors cost thousands of dollars less than existing full-body paint schemes.
Thor Motor Coach will also be showing the new Windsport and HD-MAX exteriors at this year's Thor Industries Open House at the RV/Motorhome Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind., on Sept. 18-20. For additional information visit http://ThorMotorCoach.com/2012OpenHouse-HD-MAX.php.

NEW YORK, Aug 27 (Reuters) - A US judge weighing remedies to assure that Apple Inc does not fix prices again in the e-books market said on Tuesday that she plans to require it to hire an external monitor, something the company considers unnecessary.
But US District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan suggested a final injunction would be narrower than what the US Department of Justice has been seeking, and would not restrict Apple's agreements with suppliers of other types of content such as movies, music and TV shows.
She also said a provision related to Apple's app store that would allow other e-book retailers to provide a link to their websites or e-bookstores via an e-books app without having to pay Apple for book sales was "unnecessary."
"I want this injunction to rest as lightly as possible on how Apple runs its business," Cote said at a court hearing.
She said she expected to issue an injunction next week.
The proceedings followed a July 10 ruling by Cote that Apple conspired with five major US publishers to undermine e-book pricing established by the dominant retailer in the market, Amazon.com Inc.
The Justice Department, joined by 33 US states and territories, is now jostling with Apple over the scope of what Cote should do to prevent further antitrust violations.
Last week, the government eased its proposed injunction to cover just five years instead of 10, with the ability to obtain up to five one-year extensions if needed.
At Cote's suggestion, it also recommended that Apple hold staggered negotiations with publishers beginning in two years in an effort to avoid future collusion.
The five publishers, all of which have settled with regulators, include Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group Inc, News Corp's HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Penguin Random House LLC, CBS Corp's Simon & Schuster Inc, and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH's Macmillan.
Cote on Tuesday said she would wait for the parties to hash out suggestions for final language for her injunction.
She said a monitor would be necessary, after Apple had failed to show it learned its lesson from its "blatant"violations of antitrust law.
The monitor, she said, would likely be installed to review Apple's internal antitrust compliance programme and procedures and recommend changes, and also required annual antitrust training for employees in Apple's e-books and content businesses.
Apple had vigorously contested hiring of a monitor, saying in court papers it would be "extremely costly and burdensome."
The Justice Department had earlier also sought to force Apple to hire an internal antitrust compliance officer, but has since backed off that demand.
Cote has scheduled a May 2014 trial to weigh damages, which could reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
She told both sides to contact a judge who previously oversaw court-ordered settlement talks, US District Judge Kimba Wood, for another session in September or October.
A spokesman for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment after the hearing.
The case is US v. Apple Inc et al, US District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-02826.

DAYVILLE — A first-and-goal for Killingly at the four-yard line with two seconds remaining in the game was all that was between Quinebaug Valley and the program's first state playoff appearance.
After giving up 112 yards on the ground to Killingly's Tyler Stucke in the second half, the Pride knew that stopping Stucke would seal the game.
The handoff to Stucke was up the middle, where he was met by Pride defenders two yards from the end zone. Quinebaug Valley stopped the comeback and defeated Killingly, 14-6, at Killingly Sports Complex.
Playoff bound
After starting the season 2-2, the Pride finished the regular season with seven straight victories. John Sanderson (23 carries, 121 yards) was awarded most outstanding player for Quinebaug Valley, which finished in the eighth and final spot for the Class M State playoffs, edging out Stonington. The Pride (9-2) will travel to Deep River to take on No. 1 seed Valley Regional/Old Lyme on Tuesday. All pairings are unofficial until the CIAC committee approves the points on Saturday at 9 a.m.
"I have a ton of pride for this team and these kids," said Quinebaug Valley coach Joe Asermelly. "They've done a phenominal job and won the game through sheer fortitude and resilience. We're going to be consistent and take it one play at a time."
Tale of 2 halves
Quinebaug Valley's defense started strong in the first half by forcing a fumble on the third play of the first drive. Sanderson took advantage of the short field and ran for 18 yards for a 6-0 lead.
After the Pride forced the Redmen (4-7) to a three-and-out, Niko Dimopoulos recovered a fumble on Killingly's next drive, while Michael Holmes and Raiff Santerre each had an interception and the defense held Stucke to 28 yards on 10 carries.
After forcing the Redmen to turn the ball over on downs, Quinebaug Valley drove 55 yards as Santerre capped it with a 6-yard run to the end zone on fourth-and-goal and ran in the two-point conversion for a 14-0 at the half.
"I was thinking just get in the end zone," said Santerre. "We needed that just to keep the momentum going and not have them get the momentum and it just meant everything."
In the second half, both teams only had two possesions. Quinebaug Valley chewed up the clock running with Sanderson and Santerre, who had 90 yards on 22 carries.
Kilingly ran the ball with Stucke 18 times in the second half as he found holes in the defense. The Redmen switched quarterbacks as Nick Hewitt stepped in and made a key throw to Troy Waterman for 32 yards that set up Stucke for a 5-yard run for a score early in the fourth quarter.
Stalled drive
The Pride's last drive stalled at Killingly's 30-yard line and a pooch kick by Tylor Genest pinned Killingly on its eight-yard line with 3:18 left for its final possession.
Stucke ran for six straight plays, bringing the Redmen inside Quinebaug Valley's 40-yard line. Kyle Derosier stepped back in at quarterback and found Hewitt for a 17-yard gain on a fourth-and-12 with 1:12 left. Stucke's number was called again for three straight plays and a second-down pass play at the 15-yard line from Derosier to Hewitt set up first-and-goal at the four.
Stucke's final run came two yards short of the end zone as he finished with 28 carries for 143 yards.
Hewitt was named Killinlgy's most outstanding player as he finished with three catches for 39 yards and went 2-for-2 for 42 yards.

Dynamic License Server (DLS) consists of software installed on site. It manages the distribution of the purchased number of Dynamic Licenses across purchased Access Seats on the network. Because there are generally more Seats than licenses in the system, not all computers can use the Vector NTI software at the same time. Thus, the number of licenses purchased represents the number of users who can access the Vector application concurrently.
For example, an organization may equip 20 computers with 5 Network Licenses, meaning that, at most, 5 users (at any of the 20 computers) can use the Vector NTI® application simultaneously.
In practice, not all users on the network need to use Vector NTI® at the same time. When a user launches the Vector NTI® application on one of the networked computers, that computer contacts the DLS application to determine whether there is an available Dynamic License. If one is available, the user will be able to access the full functionality of the software. If a license is not available (i.e., if all the purchased Dynamic Licenses are currently being used), the user's copy of the Vector NTI® application will remain in Demo Mode. This user will not be able to use the full functionality of the Vector NTI® application until the DLS software releases a Dynamic License that had been assigned to another user on the system.

Network Licenses are based on the concept of sharing a license among networked computers. All the networked computers (known as "Access Seats") are connected to a designated machine running Invitrogen's Dynamic License Server (DLS) software.

Crime is serious stuff. But everyone once and while, some Japanese TV news stations make it as goofy as possible. For example, the above photo is a likeness of a suspect. Around 25 years old. Plump, with a thin moustache. Have you seen him? Eh...
Other times, unflattering photos are used for criminals. Not sure why... Dark humour? Bored program employees? I dunno!
This isn't a nightly occurrence by any stretch. Most television news that covers crime does so with a straight face. However, this has happened several times over the years.
Let's have a look at some of the egregious examples (a couple of which previously appeared on Kotaku). Many of these are meme images in Japan and baffled people when they were originally aired.
First, the suspect drawings:
An eye witness' drawing of the suspect. The realism!
Yes, that is underwear on the suspect's face.
Have you seen this woman? (Well, I guess this is more of the news anchor getting trolled...)
Here, a sticker picture from a video game arcade was used for this suspect's pic.
This might be the most infamous photo featuring a suspect. It appeared on Fuji TV's Super News back in 2009.
Some viewers thought it was unexpectedly funny; others weren't happy about the photo choice.
Mind you, this was used for a suspect in a murder case!
You might think, well, the news programs are only using whatever pics they can get. That doesn't explain why this was the photo one news program used for celeb Minako Komukai when she fled Japan over a drug warrant.
Komukai eating a bean pastry in the photo. There are tons of other photos that could have been used!

Andrea Blackwelder, CFP, ChFC, co-founder of Wisdom Wealth Strategies in Denver, Colo., has worked with all types of clients over the years. But at this point in her career, she says "working with affluent people and the complex situations they bring is where it gets really fun."
Here are seven tips she shared about working with the high-net-worth crowd:
Tip No. 1: Knowledge and education pay off.
Become a comprehensive planning expert so you can speak with them about a range of topics and recognize when issues or opportunities arise." I don't prepare taxes; I don't do estate planning, but I'm knowledgeable in them so they don't need a complete team of resources and have one person who has a good knowledge of all those different areas."
Tip No. 2: It's not about you.
You have to take yourself out of the equation. You can't have an ego. It has to be about them and their needs, first and foremost.
Tip No. 3: Tell them exactly what you want.
Be specific when you ask for referrals. "Tell clients about the types of people you can help and who fit your skill set. Ask to work with people who have the ability to improve their financial situation and test your skills."
Tip No. 4: Communication is key.
You have to be really good at communicating with people, making them feel comfortable, making them feel it's OK to share things that society says you don't talk about, like money and debt. So, having the ability to get them to open up a little bit is important.
Tip No. 5: Find a niche.
Blackwelder has found that she works especially well with pilots and engineers. "There's something about my mentality and my personality that appeals to them. They're in a very tight network of people and when they're happy with my work, word gets around."
Tip No. 6: Organize targeted events.
Rather than having an event for all of my clients, I'll have very small, targeted events. I haven't had a lot of success hosting a happy hour and inviting all the clients. I don't think they feel special. Where if you have a very targeted event, they know each other, they know who's going to be there, they're comfortable and they feel special because you planned for them.
Tip No. 7: They aren't that different.
They don't need marble floors; they don't need leather upholstery; they don't need your office to be special and fancy. They may be a bit more sophisticated but at the end of the day, they still want great service, they still want to be treated as a unique individual, they still want personalized attention, they will want to know you have their best interest at heart.
Tip No. 8: Don't be a product pusher.
Become out-of-the-box and solution-oriented, not sales-oriented. Because these people have seen every sales strategy you're ever going to try. They're looking for guidance, for creating a team approach, not being sold an annuity or a product or a life insurance policy or anything like that. You're the product.

A Higher Education: 8 Steps to Prepare Your Teen for College
Money Matters
In a school setting, where late-night takeout and impulse shopping splurges might reign, your teen will be responsible for some spending decisions you used to make. The answer? A budget, says Tamsen Butler, author of The Complete Guide to Personal Finance: For Teenagers and College Students (Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc.) Sit down with your child and review his likely expenses and how much he'll have to put toward them. Then create a list of categories, like "Food," "Housing and Utilities" (if he's living off campus), "Transportation," "Entertainment," "School Fees," and maybe even "Savings," and allot a dollar amount to each. Remind your son to log his expenses regularly, and that a little deviation isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as he defaults back to the plan you've created together.
It's important to clearly establish how your teen will access his spending money. If you're contributing to his everyday funds, Butler recommends opening a joint savings or checking account so you both have access. Choose a bank with branches at home and on campus, or at least strong online access. Well before orientation, walk him through check-writing (have him write a few for you, that you then sign and send), depositing and withdrawing money, bill-paying, and keeping track of debit card expenditures. Finally, open a credit card in both his and your name, which will be for emergencies only, suggests Butler. Make sure you spell out what constitutes a need (yes to a tow if his car breaks down; no to a group snack attack) and that he understands that you'll be checking for unnecessary activity.
Chow Down Challenges
Arm your teen against the dreaded "freshman fifteen" by reinforcing healthy habits like a balanced diet and exercise. The weight issues often starts with how students schedule their eating, says Sarah Van Orman, MD, Executive Director of University Health Services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Kids often skip healthy meals and then eat a lot at once at night or when they're studying." High-fat and high-sugar foods like pizza, chips, and candy don't just pack on pounds—they also affect mood and energy level, says Dr. Van Orman. Encourage your teen to eat within a couple of hours of getting up, and to visit the dining hall salad and fruit bar daily. Also encourage her to build in meal breaks when she picks her course schedule. And when you put together care packages, forgo sweets (or at choose healthier versions like whole-grain cookies) and include light popcorn, instant oatmeal, dried fruit, and nuts instead.
Risky Business
Ideally, you've been discussing your values and expectations about alcohol, drugs, and sex since at least middle school, says Janet E. Taylor, MD, a psychiatrist and member of the Family Circle Health Advisory Board. Still, now's a good time to reiterate your guidelines. These talks may always be awkward—and that's okay, says Dr. Taylor. One thing that might help the conversation along is to share personal stories—perhaps the time you refused to use a fake ID or nursed a friend who'd had too much to drink. "When parents share their own experiences or their anxiety, it makes them a little more human to kids," says Dr. Taylor. Finally, remind your kid to save emergency contacts—the college health center and campus police—in his phone. Let him know that even though he'll be more independent, he can always call home, no matter how sticky his situation.
Your kid's definition of personal space will probably have to change on campus. "The majority of our students are used to having their own room, so this is the first time they're sharing space," says Diane Andrews, Senior Director of Residence Life at Pennsylvania State University. If your teen hasn't been doing it all along, remind her to keep her clothes off the floor, wash her sheets and towels regularly, dust and sweep, and take out garbage and recyclables. Discuss setting boundaries as well. It may have been okay for her to borrow her sister's clothes or DVDs without asking, but that probably won't work with a new roommate. Ideally, your teen will be paired with someone who has similar tastes and habits, but if she's into punk and her roomie is all about classical, the two may have to work out compromises. Ditto guests in the room, and ideal lights-out times.
Laundry Laws
Some teens have been doing wash since they could reach the knobs on the machine. If your teen isn't among them, give him a crash course in darks, whites, hand-washing, folding, and stain removal methods. Simple fix-up skills, like sewing on a button or mending a hole, will also come in handy. You can purchase a miniature sewing kit or make one by packaging needles, small scissors, and spools of thread in a few basic colors like black, white, gray, blue, and red. As an added bonus, send your teen off to school with wrinkle remover spray.
Health Care
When your kid gets sick at school, you won't be there to nurse her back to health. That means she needs to know when to call the health center, where it is, and how it works. These specifics vary from college to college, says Dr. Van Orman, so sit down with your teen and visit the center's website.
Look into health insurance early. First determine what's available and covered on campus—college and university health centers vary in the scope of the medical problems they treat. (The information should be in your student's orientation pack; if it isn't, contact the admissions office.) Some services may be covered by tuition or a prepaid fee, while others may be out-of-pocket or have to go to your insurance. You also might want to research which doctors' practices near the school offer what the college doesn't or that insurance won't cover at the health center. Dr. Van Orman says she often sees students who only have coverage for local emergency care and must delay other treatment or travel home for it.
If you child takes regular meds and will be in charge for the first time, there's no time like the present to let her take over. Explain the importance of setting up regular habits and keeping the medication in a safe, secure location that's easy to remember and access. If your teen doesn't already schedule doctor's appointments or fill prescriptions on her own, explain the basics (and have her make appointments or go to the drugstore herself if it comes up) and remind her to always carry her insurance card.
While you may not want to even think about emergencies, you must prepare your teen for worst-case scenarios. She should have important numbers, like the campus police, her Residence Assistant, the health center, and any trusted adults who live nearby, in her cell phone. Stock your teen with a simple first aid kit—thermometer, bandages, antibiotic ointment, ibuprofen or acetaminophen—for not-so-serious illnesses and scrapes.
Organization 101
Kids who struggle to stay in college usually aren't having problems with academics but with time management, say admissions officials. "In high school, everything is pretty much scripted for you," says Dr. Taylor. "If you deviate, there are consequences. In college, people don't care if you don't go to classes—you just won't get a good grade." Your teen needs explicit study time, downtime, and sleep time in order to succeed, and scheduling is crucial. Suggest your child devise a way to make and manage a to-do list and calendar. And Dr. Taylor recommends suggesting your teen pick course times that work with his known strengths and habits. If he's not a morning person, for example, encourage him to pick classes that start at 10 a.m. or later. If he needs a huge chunk of study time or needs to work a job, maybe he should keep Fridays free.
Now You
Your student is good to go, but are you? Sending a kid off to college is a transition for parents, too, and you should be prepared for a mixed bag of emotions, says Dr. Taylor. It's a sort of loss, but it's also on opportunity. You may be anxious about how he'll do, but simultaneously grateful for more time with younger kids and your husband. The one thing you must do, says Dr. Taylor, is resist the desire to intervene with your teen's new life. The urge to get in there and fix things may build, she says. "But rather than jump in and take over when there's a problem, maybe focus on listening and giving just a couple of suggestions. Let your child work it out." And don't call or text every day, edit his papers, call up troublesome professors, or otherwise micromanage. He needs practice taking the lead. In your advisory capacity, the ideal amount of contact is probably once or twice a week max, though this may vary with personalities and circumstances. Finally, this is the time to let go and start remembering who you were before you had kids. You may not want to turn his room into a den, but you could certainly set up your yoga mat or crafting table in there, at least until he comes home.

- The 2014 CEV DenizBank Volleyball Champions League got started this week with 26 matches where a good share of the world's Volleyball elite was back in action after a few weeks of intensive preparations." />
CEV Champions League first round completed with plenty of world-class matches
As they had just returned from Brazil where they had won silver at the Club World Champs, Lokomotiv delighted their home fans with a classy performance though they still felt tired after a long journey back to Siberia.
Italy's Diatec TRENTINO – a three-time winner of the CEV Volleyball Champions League and a bronze medallist from the Club World Champs in Betim – was in a similar position as they also had only a few hours to recover from the jet-lag and get ready to play Germany's champions BERLIN Recycling Volleys. The young guys around Bulgarian superstar Tsvetan Sokolov showed once more the attitude and willingness to fight they have become known for as they could cope with the fatigue to seize the night with a 3:1 victory.
The real match of the week was the "clash of the titans" starring Italy's Lube Banca Marche MACERATA and Russia's standout Zenit KAZAN. Actually the hosts from Italy dominated the scene on Tuesday night as they routed their opponents from Tatarstan in straight sets in a demonstration of power and world-class Volleyball. Italy's representatives in the competition made a clean sweep of their first-round matches as the winners of the 2013 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup, Copra Elior PIACENZA, also had something to celebrate with their first CL match in five years ending in a 3:1 home victory over Slovenia's ACH Volley LJUBLJANA.
When it comes to other teams that have asserted their intention to make the final four scheduled for March 2014, Russia's Belogorie BELGOROD claimed their 100th victory in the European Cups by downing Noliko MAASEIK in straight sets to celebrate their comeback in Europe's elite club competition after six years.
Though a rookie in the CEV Volleyball Champions League, Turkey's Halkbank ANKARA did also show what they are capable of after signing, specifically for this campaign, international stars like, for instance, Matey Kaziyski and Osmany Juantorena. Halkbank ANKARA edged JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel of Poland 3:1 but more is to come as the group has been together only for a very short time before the start of the season. With the only exception of JASTRZEBSKI, the first round of play was a good one for Polish teams as Asseco Resovia RZESZOW and Zaksa KEDZIERZYN-KOZLE easily claimed their opening matches cruising to straight wins against PARIS Volley and Galatasaray ISTANBUL. The only major sensation of the opening round was caused by Energy Investments LUGANO as the Swiss underdogs made a night to remember out of their first CL appearance cruising to a tie-break victory over Turkey's Arkas IZMIR.
The first round of the women's competition was highlighted by a series of straight victories claimed by some of the teams that are supposed to battle for the crown at the end of the season. Dinamo KAZAN of Russia routed Volero ZÜRICH, Eczacibasi VitrA ISTANBUL did the same with Czech champions Agel PROSTEJOV as did also Azerbaijan's Igtisadchi BAKU and RC CANNES of France in their ties with Crvena Zvezda BEOGRAD and SCHWERINER SC.
Russia's Dinamo MOSCOW had to fight a little bit more to get the upper hand in four sets as they played Italy's champions RebecchiNMeccanica PIACENZA while on Thursday 2013 silver medallists Rabita BAKU needed a tie-break to finally edge Russian rookies Omichka OMSK REGION. In what people dubbed the "group of death" right after the DOL held in Vienna last June 28, Azeryol BAKU and Italy's Prosecco Doc-Imoco CONEGLIANO had to fight for five sets before they got past Unendo Yamamay BUSTO ARSIZIO and Galatasaray Daikin ISTANBUL, i.e. the teams that had finished the 2013 edition in third and fourth place.

Surveillance tape shows police punching suspect
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Surveillance video from a private residence appears to show Southern California police officers punching a suspect who fled arrest and hitting him in the legs with a baton.
Edgar Vargas Arzate, 27, ran away from Santa Ana officers responding to a burglary call but they caught up with him in a private yard, The Orange County Register reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/1rngr5q ).
Arzate isn't visible on screen for most of the silent, one-minute clip, and it's unclear what he is doing.
One officer appears to punch him six times as they attempt to handcuff him. Another officer can be seen swinging a baton at his legs as he lies on the ground.
The June 20 incident is the subject of an internal investigation, said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, a police spokesman.
Officers were aware of the surveillance camera the night of the incident but couldn't get a copy for several weeks, so the investigation only recently began, he said.
Arzate, who was hospitalized, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted burglary, battery of a police officer, resisting arrest and tampering with a vehicle. His public defenders could not be reached Saturday, when county offices are closed, and did not immediately reply to emails seeking comment.
The video was recorded by security cameras in the home of Miriam Grajales, who said one officer began striking Arzate after he dropped to the ground, the Register reported.
"He started hitting him hard, with anger," Grajales said. "The guy was yelling, 'Help me! Help me!'"
Arzate's mother believes her son, who has struggled with drug abuse and has a criminal record stretching to 2005, was high that day and fled from police out of paranoia.
"Yes, arrest and punish him, but why did he hit him?" Olivia Arzate said.

The first trailer for The Raven is out, showing off John Cusack as the goateed poet who's tracking down a serial killer (with the cops) who's leaving pieces of his stories as clues. Think of it as old timey Castle, but with half the Fillion charisma!
Here's the synopsis:
Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin), the film also stars Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster).
When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper-part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story.
Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.
Seems a lot like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, minus a protagonist you want to sleep with. But then again maybe Cusack gets all badass after they steal his child bride. The Raven opens March 9, 2012.
