Menu Menu Often, it can be advantageous to seek professional financial advice regarding the tax advantages of various payment strategies. A few of the financing options used by Colgate parents and students are described below. To further assist you in planning, our website provides information regarding estimated costs. Parent Resources Colgate University monthly payment plans — available to all parents Two monthly payment plans allow parents to make 10 monthly payments (June through March) toward college costs. There is a small processing fee. Payments may be arranged through either Tuition Management Systems (TMS) or the TouchNet billing site. Information about both options will be provided to the families of all enrolled students. Federal Direct PLUS Loan — available only to parents who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens This federal loan enables parents to borrow directly from the Federal Government up to the cost of attendance minus any financial aid. Only one master promissory note is needed throughout the students' enrollment at Colgate. The interest rate for 2018-19 is fixed at 7.6%, and borrowers pay an origination fee of roughly 4% (Current-year interest rates on federal student loans). Repayment begins 60 days after loan disbursement and continues for up to 10 years. First, the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, should be submitted online. After that, parents may visit studentloans.gov to begin the loan request process. For more information, you may visit our About Loans page or you may contact the Office of Financial Aid. The Tuition Prepayment Plan — available only to parents of non-aided students For those parents interested in stabilizing tuition charges during their child's undergraduate enrollment, Colgate University has developed a prepayment option. The Tuition Prepayment Plan offers parents the opportunity to prepay tuition for two, three, or four years at the current rate of annual tuition set for the first year of participation in the plan, which protects families from probable future increases. Participation is limited to parents of students who are in full-time attendance and are not receiving Colgate financial aid. (Plan participants may, however, apply for federal aid.) Only tuition charges are included. All other charges for fees, room, meals, etc., are payable as billed. Specific details of this plan are available on the Office of Student Accounts website. The Tuition Refund Plan — available to all parents This plan provides refunds of tuition in the event of withdrawal due to medical or emotional reasons, in accordance with the terms set forth by the contract. Information is sent to parents annually by A.W.G. Dewar, Inc., (617-774-1555), the insuring company. Specific details of this plan may be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Accounts at 315-228-7421 or by e-mail at email@example.com Student Resources Federal Direct Loans — available only to students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens Federal Direct Loans are available to undergraduate students, regardless of family income, for up to $5,500 for the first year of school, $6,500 for the second year, and $7,500 for the third and fourth years. Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 in a federal direct unsubsidized loan in an academic year. Some undergraduate students may be eligible to borrow through the subsidized portion of the Federal Direct Loan program, in which no interest accrues while the student is enrolled at least half time. However, at least $2,000 of each of these amounts can be offered only through the unsubsidized portion of the program. The 2018-19 interest rate is fixed at 5.05% for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans for undergraduate students. The 2018-19 interest rate for unsubsidized loans for graduate students is fixed at 6.6%. In the unsubsidized portion of the program, interest accrues while the student is in school and may be paid or capitalized. In both portions of the program borrowers pay an origination fee of roughly 1%. Colgate will always award as much subsidized loan as possible before awarding unsubsidized loan; however, in some cases the student is eligible for an unsubsidized loan only. Students wishing to request a Federal Direct Loan should first submit the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid online. They should then contact the Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment to indicated how much they wish to borrow, within the annual limits noted above. For further information, you may visit our About Loans page or you may contact the Office of Financial Aid. Campus employment — available to all studentsCampus employment provides another opportunity for students to contribute toward their educational costs. While students with a work-study award in their aid package receive priority in hiring, a number of jobs are open to all students. More than half of the students who work on campus are not aid recipients. More information about student employment can be found here.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Left-wing Israeli protestors gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday demanding that the end of this summer's Gaza war lead to the start of fresh peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Unfortunately, Israel's Palestinian "peace partners" were singing a different tune.
The still-not-fully-concluded Gaza war was characterized by broad unity across the Israeli public. From the left-to-the-right of the Israeli political spectrum, nearly everyone recognized the justness of combatting Gaza's terrorist infrastructure. But the opposing sides of the Israeli polity differ greatly on what lessons must be learned from the conflagration.
Many on the Right insist that the Gaza war is yet another demonstration of why Israel cannot repeat the mistake of the 2005 Gaza disengagement by facilitating the creation of an independent Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank").
On the Left, voices are calling for the Netanyahu government to take advantage of the present national unity and the strong blow dealt to Hamas to reengage Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas in meaningful and direct peace negotiations.
Those voices were out in some force in Tel Aviv over the weekend.
The more radical speakers addressing the crowds filling Rabin Square tried to blame the Gaza war on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his failure to "make peace" by accepting Arab demands in previous US-brokered talks. "When there is no peace war comes," read a sign carried by many in attendance.
More reasonable critics, like opposition leader Isaac Hertzog (Labor), do not lay the recent violence on Netanyahu, but insist he will be held accountable if the war doesn't lead to fresh negotiations.
As usual, neither Herzog nor the rabid antagonists taking the podium in Tel Aviv on Saturday paid any attention to what the Palestinians themselves are saying.
A video posted to YouTube two weeks earlier by a branch of Abbas' own ruling Fatah faction reaffirmed the movement's decision to return to "open war" against the "Zionist enemy."
Just last week, the official Fatah page on Facebook boasted that the movement has over the course of decades killed far more Jews than Hamas, which is now enjoying surging popularity in the West Bank for its determined violent struggle against Israel.
Abbas, long portrayed as a "moderate" and genuine peace partner, has failed to condemn or otherwise distance himself from these statements.
In fact, Abbas' Palestinian Authority, via its official mouthpiece PA TV, has signaled its complicity in Fatah's new, more violent tone. A hit music clip calling on Gazans and all Palestinians to sacrifice themselves for the ultimate prize of fully destroying Israel has been broadcast numerous times in PA TV in recent weeks.

BEVERLY HILLS – A woman who jumped off of a 15-story building today in Beverly Hills has died, a city spokeswoman confirmed just before noon.
"She has died of her injuries," said Therese Kosterman. "We don't have any information about her identity that we can give out at this time, though."
Kosterman said the woman jumped just after 10 a.m., and was immediately transported to a local hospital, where she was declared dead.
Police responded to a report of a woman, unclothed and despondent, on the roof a building at 414 Camden Drive near Brighton Way about 7 a.m., Kosterman said.
A crisis negotiation team responded to the building to attempt to talk the woman down off the building, but three hours later she jumped.
In addition to the intersection of Camden Drive and Brighton Way, Beverly Hills police also shut down Camden Drive from Wilshire Boulevard to Rodeo Drive and Brighton Way from Rodeo Drive to Roxbury Drive.

Water Gardens & Features Q & A
Q: I am having a terrible time with green water in my water garden. What can I do? – Abby of California
A: It's that time of year again when the fish are playing, flowers blooming and your backyard is once again becoming your peaceful retreat, except for that green water in your water garden. Like most of us water garden owners the highlight of our yard is our water feature but what fun are fish if you can't see and enjoy them? Here are some considerations that may help you take back your water garden.
Filtration: Early in the season your filtration system may not be up to par with the amount of waste and debris left over from the winter months. A good spring clean out may be needed if there is an excessive amount of debris in the bottom of the water garden. If your water garden is relatively clean use a pond vacuum or application of natural bacteria may help get you on your way. This is the time of year to wash out or replace your filter pads to prepare for the coming season.
Fish Load: Have your fish been busy? If your spacious water garden is becoming a full house, it may be time to find a few friends and share the wealth. Overcrowding is a common source for green water since the filtration system may not be large enough to handle the amount of waste being produced. A simple rule of thumb to ensure room for your fish is 1 fish for every 10 sq. ft. of surface area.
Plant Coverage or Shade: We recommend 40-60% plant coverage in your water garden. This adds to your filtration, since the plants are up taking their nutrients from the water. They also provide the added benefit of shade to help protect your fish from predators. A variety of plants should be used, including: bog(marginal), submerged, water lilies or floating plants. If your not sure what to get, you can check out our aquatic plant packages.
Help Mother Nature Out with Natural Bacteria: Once you've checked your filtration, fish load and plant load, it's time to add some natural bacteria. We recommend the Pond Logic® DefensePAC®. The DefensePAC® is an award winning water garden care system that comprises of 5 products known in the water garden industry as the 5-Steps to Clear Water. They are:
- Oxy-Lift™ Defense®: The Pond Cleaner.
- Nature's Defense®: The Pond Balancer.
- Clarity Defense®: The Pond Clarifier.
- Muck Defense®: The Muck Reducer.
- Seasonal Defense®: The Autumn, Winter Prep.
The DefensePAC® is an all-in-one source for water garden maintenance and will keep your water sparking clear all season….guaranteed!
What about a UV filter?: You might be wondering why UV filtration wasn't mentioned as a solution to green water. Indeed, it is a solution but…it is also can be a band-aid covering up a deeper problem. Always be sure that your filtration is adequate and you don't have too many fish! You should also be using your test kit to make sure your water is safe for your fish. If everything checks
out ok a UV may be a good tool as long as it is not the only one. Just remember if everything mentioned above is in check the green water should take care of itself and you will have a healthier overall ecosystem.
POND TALK: What kind of green water problems have you had? And what did you do to fix them? Please comment and let me know.

The future of HENkaku: what's next for PS Vita hacks?
HENkaku was released a bit more than 2 months ago and resuscitated the PS Vita scene. After weeks of frenzy and several releases, we're now entering a bit quieter phase. Still a steady amount of cool releases, but the initial passion is now leaving room for what I hope is going to be long lasting love.
So what can we expect for PS Vita hacks in the mid to long term future?
Improved emulators
The PS vita impressed us with a collection of emulators running almost out of the box as soon as Henkaku was released. We've been seeing steady improvements on these emulators (Retroarch started adding dynarec support recently, meaning more speed improvements), and we should expect them to easily top what was doable on the PSP.
Emulators on the PS Vita dramatically extend the library of games on the device, and I would expect this to keep being one of the main targets for people hacking their PS Vita.
There's also the expectation to see more and more emulated systems supported, in particular through Retroarch.
More Homebrews
We're driving the GekiHEN contest with a few other sites of the Vita scene. It runs through January, so you still have lots of time to work on your homebrew and submit your entry.
My personal motivation as a sponsor of this event is to give people motivation to write more homebrews and keep the scene alive. The cash prizes are a forcing factor to ensure we'll see cool homebrew show up, and avoid people "calling it a day" once we only have emulators.
I'm looking forward to seeing cool utilities, homebrews, ports, and maybe more!
Custom Firmware?
Do we need a "custom firmware" on the PS Vita? I'd say that this would be the next cool thing to explore: an all-in-one solution to add features to HENkaku. Maybe better integrated support of custom themes, support for plugins in every mode of the Vita, better music or video players, a cool integrated options menu that would include all of the registry hacks and more… Most of that could be made available through homebrew, but I think a fully integrated solution would be pretty cool.
Cheaper Memory Cards?
There's been ongoing hardware work to try and reverse engineer the PS Vita memory cards. The sony proprietary cards are overpriced, and everyone's looking forward to the possibility to use nano SD cards instead of the Vita memory sticks.
Although that work is not directly related to software hacks such as HENkaku, there's a possibility that having access to the OS through HENkaku could help making progress on these. There might after all be ways to hack the firmware at runtime in order to accept some different (less "secure") memory cards?
PS vita Emulator
Work on a PS Vita emulator would be to me the next big step in the Vita Hacking process. With full access to the system, it is my understanding that there should now be possibilities to fully reverse engineer the system, which typically is done by the people trying to write an emulator.
I'm honestly surprised to not have seen several teams working on this by now, although I have to assume this is happening but most serious teams are probably keeping their work under wraps until they have something useful. It might take years, as console systems are becoming way more complex than they used to be. There's also the grey legal are in which such projects evolve, which might be impacting the enthusiasm of some hackers.
Last but not least, for those of you expecting a Vita hack for Firmware 3.61 or above, I've answered that question in details here: Should you expect a hack for Vita firmware 3.61? Spoiler alert: your best bet is to buy a 3.60 PS Vita.
Where do you think the Vita scene is headed next?

Today's older drivers are not only less likely to be involved in crashes than prior generations, they are less likely to be killed or seriously injured if they do crash, a new Institute study shows. That's likely because vehicles are safer and seniors are generally healthier. It's a marked shift that began to take hold in the mid-1990s and indicates that the growing ranks of aging drivers aren't making U.S. roads deadlier.
The Institute first noted the improving picture for older drivers in 2008 (see "Older drivers' fatal crashes trend down," Dec. 27, 2008). The latest analysis bolsters the evidence that drivers 70 and older have enjoyed bigger declines in fatal crash rates per licensed driver and per vehicle miles traveled than drivers ages 35-54, referred to in the study as middle-age drivers, since 1997. A new finding is that progress appears to have slowed in recent years, with the biggest improvements in older drivers' fatal crash rates relative to middle-age drivers occurring between 1997 and 2007.
The crash outlook is improving for both older and younger drivers. During 1997-2012, fatal crash rates per licensed driver fell 42 percent for older drivers and 30 percent for middle-age ones. Looking at vehicle miles traveled, fatal crash involvement rates fell 39 percent for older drivers and 26 percent for middle-age ones from 1995 to 2008. A breakdown of the results for older drivers by age group shows that fatal crash involvement rates per licensed driver fell 36 percent for drivers ages 70-74, 46 percent for drivers 75-79 and 49 percent for drivers 80 and older during 1997-2012.
There were similar declines in older drivers' involvement rates in injury crashes that weren't fatal during the same periods.
"This should help ease fears that aging baby boomers are a safety threat. Even crashes among the oldest drivers have been on a downswing," says Anne McCartt, the Institute's senior vice president for research and a co-author of the study.
At the beginning of the study period, drivers 80 and older had by far the highest fatal crash rate, at nearly twice the rate of drivers ages 35-54 and 70-74. By 2012, the fatal crash involvement rate for drivers 80 and older improved to 1.4 times the rate of the other two age groups.
"Older drivers are not only less likely to crash in recent years, they also are sharing in the benefits of newer and safer vehicles. It also helps that older people in general are more fit than in years past, with better access to emergency services and health care," McCartt says.
These factors may be contributing to a change in travel patterns. Older drivers covered fewer miles per year on average than middle-age drivers during 1995, 2001 and 2008, data from the federal government's National Household Travel Survey show. However, older drivers increased their annual mileage by bigger percentages than middle-age drivers from 1995 to 2008. This is especially the case for drivers 75 and older, who lifted their average annual mileage by more than 50 percent from 1995 to 2008.
The fact that older drivers increased their average mileage during 1997-2012 may indicate that they are remaining physically and mentally comfortable with driving tasks. When older adults reduce their trips, there's evidence that it is often because they are self-regulating their driving in response to impairments. IIHS research has found that the more memory and physical mobility problems people develop over time, the more limits they place on their driving (see "Older drivers sense when they should limit their trips," Sept. 28, 2011).
Older drivers are not only less likely to crash than in recent years, they also are less likely to be injured or killed.

Projected population of people 70 and older in millions, 1980-2050
Like many Western countries, the U.S. is seeing its population skew older. From 1997 to 2012, the population of adults 70 and older rose 19 percent. By 2050 the population of adults 70 and older is expected to reach 64 million, comprising 16 percent of the U.S. population, compared with 29 million, or 9 percent of the population, in 2012, U.S. census data indicate. The 80 and older population is expected to nearly triple to 31 million.
At the same time, an increasing number of people 70 and older are holding on to their driver licenses longer than before. The number of licensed drivers this old climbed 30 percent during 1997-2012, and the percentage of older people who were licensed edged higher from 73 to 79 percent. Licensure rates also increased more with age, from 86 to 89 percent for 70-74 year-olds, from 77 to 84 percent for 75-79 year-olds and from 55 to 68 percent for drivers 80 and older.
More than a decade ago, the Institute was among the highway safety groups initially expressing concern about the risk of having so many people 65 and older on U.S. roads (see Status Report special issue: older drivers, Sept. 8, 2001). By 2006, the predicted problem hadn't shown up in fatal crash data. A follow-up study of data through 2008 confirmed the trend (see "Older drivers' fatal crashes trend down," Dec. 27, 2008, and "Older drivers' crash rates decline unexpectedly," June 19, 2010).
A total of 4,079 people ages 70 and older died in crashes in 2012. That's 31 percent fewer than in 1997, when older driver fatal crash involvements peaked in the United States.
In the new study, IIHS researchers compared trends for drivers ages 70 and older with those for drivers ages 35-54 for national fatal passenger vehicle crash involvements per 100,000 licensed drivers during 1997-2012 and per vehicle miles traveled from 1995 to 2008. Researchers used fatal crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, driver license data from the Federal Highway Administration, information on vehicle miles traveled from the highway administration's national household travel surveys and data on police-reported crashes from the National Automotive Sampling System General Estimates System and crash databases from 20 states.
"No matter how we looked at the fatal crash data for this age group — by licensed drivers or miles driven — the fatal crash involvement rates for drivers 70 and older declined, and did so at a faster pace than the rates for drivers ages 35-54," McCartt says.
More recently, the downward trend in older drivers' fatal crash involvements per licensed driver has slowed, while the declines in fatal crash involvement rates among middle-age drivers have accelerated. From 2007 to 2012, declines for older and middle-age drivers were the same at 18 percent each. This may be a byproduct of the U.S. recession, which likely affected driving patterns for middle-age people more than older people. Studies indicate that traffic fatalities fall during recessions and rise when the economy improves. That may be due to a drop in commuting, discretionary trips and alcohol-impaired driving.
Researchers also examined trends in involvement rates in nonfatal crashes of various severities per 100,000 licensed drivers during 1997-2008 between older and middle-age drivers.
The state data indicate that crash involvement rates per licensed driver for adults 70 and older also decreased in nonfatal crashes, and the declines were bigger as driver age increased. From 1997 to 2008, involvement rates in nonfatal injury crashes fell by a third for drivers 35-54, 36 percent for drivers 70-74, 38 percent for drivers 75-79 and 45 percent for drivers 80 and older. The pattern held when examining declines in property- damage-only crash involvement rates for older drivers vs. middle-age drivers.
Older people are generally frailer than younger adults, and this fragility makes them more vulnerable to injuries and raises their risk of dying in a crash. To gauge whether changes in relative frailty also contributed to the decline in fatal crash risk, IIHS researchers compared changes in the odds of death or serious injury among older and middle-age crash-involved drivers using the state crash data.
During 1997-2008, the odds that crash-involved drivers age 35-54 or 70 and older sustained a fatal injury declined, and the decrease was significantly larger for older drivers than for middle-age drivers. In 1997, drivers 70 and older were 3.5 times as likely to die in a crash as drivers ages 35-54, and drivers 80 and older were 5.4 times as likely to die in a crash as middle-age drivers. By 2008, drivers 70 and older were 3.2 times as likely to die in a crash as drivers 35-54, and drivers 80 and older were 4.3 times as likely to die in a crash as middle-age drivers.
Both older and younger passenger vehicle occupants are benefiting from efforts to improve protection in crashes, a recent study confirms.
Older drivers are benefiting from better health overall and improved vehicle designs.

Social Video Eyewear! Turn-On Sunglasses. Redefine Reality! (Suspended)
Social Video Electric Eyewear can record & share your perspective as video socially on the web & in apps. Instantly turn-on sunglasses.
Social Video Eyewear! Turn-On Sunglasses. Redefine Reality! (Suspended)
Social Video Electric Eyewear can record & share your perspective as video socially on the web & in apps. Instantly turn-on sunglasses.
Time is running out! Pledge now and get $100 off retail by pledging for your own Glasses pre-order! Go for it! You'll be glad you did →
Thanks for the press we've received so far!
The Problem:
Recording video or taking pictures is clunky. You have to pull out your smart phone or your video camera, and hold it up. This immediately causes you to lose the use of your hands, and makes the entire situation you are recording clumsy & socially awkward. What if you could just touch a button on your eyewear and instantly start recording from the perspective of your eyes instead?
The Solution:
Vergence Labs is actually building it! We are working in an accelerated startup environment to create these stylish computing enabled social video sharing, trend setting electric powered sun glasses. Our product will record 1st person point of view, and have "magic-glass" (chromatic shifting conductive glass) lenses for an instant on/off "electric powered sunglass" feature. You can then share the experiences you record across social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It's a consumer electronics fashion accessory designed with technology to enable cool new social video and new electric sunglasses lens capabilities while being fashion-forward and stylish in the process.
Here are some work in progress frame styles fashioned after the classic yet edgy beatnik James Dean, Buddy Holly, Clark Kent styles that are geeky yet rebellious, stylish, and sci-fi comic-book superhero, all at the same time. We designed these and produced these frames in house and fabricated them using our MakerBot 3D printer! Fun. The glasses will be produced and branded under our newly established eyewear brand, Epiphany Eyewear!
YouGen.TV: Record & Share Your Own Point of View on the Web and via Apps.
Our web sharing site, YouGen.Tv will enable users to create social profiles and share 1st person POV "experiences" as their real "life memories" onto Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms, from the same perspective, and point of view as they experienced them.
The video from the glasses will be available via our SDK for mobile devices so that other mobile app developers can have access to the video from the glasses. This will be great for other apps that already do Augmented Reality or Social Video sharing. Our goal for the YouGen.Tv app and website is to integrate with other apps and wearable computers that either use or output 1st person POV social video. We also plan to have time-synchronized data that can be loaded with the video -- for example, if you post an update to facebook or you tweet on twitter from the mobile app, then those updates can pop-up in the video at the actual time in the video when you posted! Or if you wear products like the Nike Fuel or Fit Bit, with embedded sensors that output biometric data, we can synchronize this data together, with the point of view videos; such as calories burned, miles walked, pulse, body temperature, and more! Our goal is to create an "experience-sharing" web-platform, where people can share their best "experiences" as persistent memories with friends, family, and the ones they love -- and we believe "experiences" will become much more than video alone.
Educate & Learn using First Person Experience
The data captured from someone's first person perspective will be incredible for learning and seeing from other people's perspectives. Imagine all of the things you see, and that you could do to teach people -- based on what you do and see every day, while simply recording yourself doing the things you already do! Imagine the potential for education! You could even sell subscriptions to the videos you upload from your life-stream for others to learn from you. Everything from recording a professor's course lectures and sharing in real-time, to a mechanical engineer fixing a complex electric engine. Anything that requires your hands can now be easily captured with our simple friction-free fashion-forward stylish eye wear product. We believe the future of computing is "hands-free" and directly "wearable" experience, and this is the first step towards getting there. A world where everyone will have access to the information and the experiences they need directly within the context of their own reality and perspective; while simultaneously having the ability to record and share their own perspective for others to see. We believe this will raise the overall level of human empathy across the world so that everyone is able to see things more directly from the validity of other people's point of view.
Social video glasses will give people the ability to understand and quantify each other better. We believe that the quantification of self and the maintenance of self-identity is a critical step for the efficacy of the future wearable, near-ocular eye-glasses computer.
Below is an snapshot of real-time identity recognition software we have running on one of our early stage prototypes. This app processes video in real-time from the reality around you, and uses computer vision to recognize faces. When a face is detected, it crops the pixels, and sends them to a cloud service, using your facebook friends to look up the identity of the person. So, in other words, this app can recognize, remember and remind you of who your friends are (just in case you ever forget and need a polite reminder).
Thank you for your support! Please forward this project to all of your friends, post it on email lists, web forums, share on facebook, twitter and google plus, talk about it at lunch! :-) Thank you so much; we look forward to creating an incredible future together with you.

FAQ: How did Erick and Jon meet?
Vergence Labs was officially founded by Erick Miller and Jon Rodriguez at the very end of 2011 (about two days before the 2012 new year), after the two of them met on kickstarter; although the beginnings of the company dates back much further than this independently by the two founders. Jon and Erick first began working together for about 7 (seven) months prior to deciding they were a great co-founding team, and taking the leap to create the company Vergence Labs, Inc. and then getting accepted into the highly prestigious Stanford start-up accellerator, StartX. The best part about Jon and Erick's story is how they met -- they actually met ON KICKSTARTER! We think kickstarter is so awesome, for helping us get started that we decided to make this promo video telling everyone about it:

Los Angeles didn't get chosen as the location for the latest "Fast & Furious" movie, but it did land the spoof version of the popular car chasing franchise.
The actual "Fast & Furious 7" has been filming in Atlanta to tap into Georgia's 30% tax credit, though some filming is expected to occur in L.A.
But "SuperFast," a parody of Universal's "Fast and Furious" films, began filming in Vernon, south of downtown, last week.
The independently produced movie comes from writer-directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, known for the "Scary Movie" films and for parodies of "Twilight" with their satiric...

Dan Le Batard: LeBron James grows stronger within Miami Heat's cocoon
America is once again laughing at and mocking the pain of LeBron James. Two years' worth of I-had-to-shut-up fan resentment burst out as if rodeo-bull uncaged the moment James looked vulnerable while spasming and incapacitated in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. It was amazing and maybe without precedent, how fast this happened to a reigning king, a Twitter-refreshed blur revealing just how little two championships had bought James in an ecosystem where winning usually forgives all. The Discovery Channel could have done a documentary on this in the wild, the way hungry fans sharpened teeth and pounced on prey at the first scent of possible weakness atop of the NBA's food chain.
But before addressing this newest noise in the life of the Miami Heat and its biggest star, let us understand the cauldron where this team has lived for four years … and how it can change, shape and harden people in ways that the teeth-sharpening hunters might not have anticipated while circling and howling.
Let us go back a series, to the end of Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers, when Chris Bosh had the season of the hated Indiana Pacers in his hands, and he missed the game-winning shot, disappointing the city of Miami and his teammates. He was trusted with all the season's work and all the game's work at the end, and he failed. That kind of thing can be haunting and …
"Haunting?" Bosh spits. "Hell no."
'The world is cruel'
Nationally, Bosh is the most-picked-on member of the Heat. He is not fragile at all, but he is viewed that way by America because he is honest and thoughtful and introspective and comfortable with his vulnerabilities, and we figure out ways to turn those strengths into weaknesses in the caveman grunting that sometimes passes for sports analysis these days.
Bosh couldn't laugh at the idea of this four years ago, couldn't even understand it, but now he is undeterred and bejeweled, so he says through an easy smile, "I'm easy to pick on. People love hammering me. It hurt at first. It is cruel. The world is cruel. But I grew up quick. Learned a lot real quick. Had to. You either get stronger or you wilt."
Evolution weeds out weakness, but it also sharpens strength, and Bosh champions in a place that is survival of the fittest, so that shot went up at the end of Game 5 in the Eastern Conference finals, and it bounced away with Indiana celebrating, and you know what Bosh's reaction was? It was a little weird and a lot surprising. And it was a result of the cauldron where Miami has resided the past four years, lava hardening whatever it touches in time when heat and Heat cools. Bosh didn't feel huge disappointment or crushing failure or lonely hurt, oddly enough. What he felt afterward was gratitude and acceptance and something pretty damn close to serenity.
"It was the shot I wanted," he says. "It was the opportunity I wanted. I live with that. I slept like a baby that night. We've had so many games where we are successful and not successful. That helps. We've been at this awhile. I relished that opportunity. I'll take the baggage that comes with failing as long as I can be in that situation. No problem. I want that situation. I'll take the success, and I'll take the failure. I'll take what comes because I just wanted to be in that situation, in this situation."
This is how the strongest survive over time, whether it be in the jungle or on the basketball court, developing something between a numbness and an immunity to the things that might kill a weaker species. Bosh literally shrugs his shoulders now about missing the kind of shot he never even got to take deep in the playoffs his first seven years toiling more quietly in Toronto.
And if Bosh, the most picked-on member of the Heat, the guy who collapsed in a hallway crying after the Finals loss in Year 1 of this experiment, the guy who scored zero points in last year's Game 7, has developed this particular immunity, can you even imagine the hardening armor that has now grown around the man who scored 37 points in that same Game 7?
America's howling laughter, once a feared monster, has now shrunk into a fly around an elephant's tail — not because the noise hasn't grown but because the elephant has. This angry jealousy and irrational hatred that surrounds Miami today, that surrounds James today, has been around his team for four years in a row without a lot of rest. So now the Heat has been wallowing and marinating in it again for the past three loud days, but this team, as Bosh said, has learned to sleep peacefully in this dangerous neighborhood's surrounding sirens. They chose to live here, and have grown comfortable with the uncomfortable.
And what you heard after Game 1 was uncomfortable, all right. Twitter was abuzz name-calling and character-smearing James. Female dog. Female body part. No balls. Little girl. Menstrual cramps. Made you wonder who those angry Twitter users hated more — LeBron or women. The whole thing was ugly and foul and odd, given that we usually give a pass to the champion who has disproved us even once, never mind twice, and then we move on to the Tony Romos and Dwight Howards and Carmelo Anthonys because the angry math is always in the bitter critic's favor with so many more losers than winners in sports every year.
The LeBron rules
But the rules are different for James in 2014. Tony Parker can leave an important playoff game on the road in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals without anyone questioning his toughness (and he's French!) The league's MVP gets less noise and hostility for being eliminated from the playoffs than James gets for leaving and losing Game 1 of a Finals that Kevin Durant has played in only once. Consider how much empathy and compassion would have poured forth if poor, unlucky Timmy Duncan — four-time champion, mind you — had gotten those same cramps that short-circuited James at the end of that same game.
James' peers are not contemporaries but rather ghosts, so people compare him not to Parker and Durant and Duncan but to Michael Jordan. And it is probably worth noting today, despite our revisionist blindness, that we did this to Jordan once, too, saying he was a ball-hogging chucker who couldn't win the big one until, you know, he did … at which point we soon turned him into a myth no one is allowed to approach without genuflecting. That was before social media, so there was more restraint and less bile than today, when James is covered like a modern-day Roger Maris chasing the legend of Micky Mantle, and with an undercurrent of the hostility we gave Muhammad Ali in a more racist and war-torn America. Those are the only two athletes who have ever known this kind of noise, and one of them is dead, and the other one is no longer able to speak about it.
Two championships and two gold medals have never bought an American sports hero less. James knows it, too, which is why he at once revealed to Michael Wilbon last week that he is the easiest piñata in sports and that he doesn't much care. Four years he has lived here. Four years. In a noisy world that has strengthened even the Bosh America loves to mock for his fragility. Maybe none of this matters. Maybe this is all mythologizing gibberish about nonsense intangibles. Maybe Duncan is even more immune after all these years, and his team hits a bunch of threes, and Miami spends another offseason surrounded by laughter and mocking. But, win or lose, this is something worth considering for those who love to hate and howl:
For four years now, James has been building these relationships in Miami, through failure and success, through unholy noise and through blessed quiet. He looks to his left, and he looks to his right in that locker room, and those are the only people who have endured and shared and understood the weight of this with him as the noise outside that room has lapped against their locker-room cocoon like ocean waves coming to shore. Us-against-the-world can be an athletic cliché, but it is a very real thing in the Heat's locker room, and his teammates have been the closest to him in more ways than one. When this is over this season, however it ends, the world's best basketball player will have a choice.
He can go out into the noise and find new men with whom to fight it.
Or he can stay with the ones with whom he has already conquered it.

Lime Bars
The crumbly shortbread base of these bars contrasts well with its tart lime filling; they're dense enough to be satisfying during the winter, but with enough tang to serve as a reminder that warmer days are ahead. A handful of toasted dried coconut sprinkled on top ties it all together.

- Yield:makes 30 bars
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:2 hours, including dough making
- Rated:
- For the Dough:
- 250g (9 oz) unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
- 90g (3 1/4 oz) granulated sugar
- 250g (9 oz) plain flour, plus extra for flouring
- Pinch of salt
- Icing sugar, for dusting
- For the Filling
- 6 extra-large free-range eggs, at room temperature
- 625g (1 lb 6 oz) granulated sugar
- finely grated rind of 8 unwaxed limes, plus extra for decorating
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 125g (4 1/2 oz) plain flour
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the butter and sugar together, using an electric mixer or by hand, until pale but not too fluffy. With the mixer set on a very low speed, add the flour and salt and beat gently until just combined. Turn out the dough (it may not have come together into a ball yet — don't worry) onto a lightly floured work surface and knead into a ball. Using well-floured hands, press the dough into a greased 8 1/2 x 12 inch rectangular baking tin. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or stick it in the freezer for about 10 minutes).
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until pale golden, then remove from the oven but don't turn the oven off. Leave to cool in the tin.
To make the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lime rind and juice. When combined, gradually mix in the flour, whisking continuously. Pour into the cooled tin, on top of the cooled shortbread base, and bake for 30 minutes or until the filling is set. Leave to cool in the tin.
Cut into 30 small bars, dust with icing sugar and decorate with lime rind.

Speeding makes crashes more likely and more likely to be deadly.
April 2019
The following table lists the speed limits for various types of roads in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. If a state has different speed limits for commercial trucks, they are listed separately.
In many states, the maximum speed limit that state or local authorities can establish depends on whether the road is a rural or urban interstate, a noninterstate limited-access highway, or another type of road. Limited-access highways are multiple-lane roads with restricted access via exit and entrance ramps, rather than intersections. The limited-access highways that make up the national interstate highway system are divided into urban and rural sections, based on population density figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. The designations may be adjusted by state and local governments to reflect planning and other issues.
Speed limits have traditionally been the responsibility of the states. In the mid-1970s, however, Congress established a national maximum speed limit by withholding highway funds from states that maintained speed limits greater than 55 mph. The requirement was loosened for rural interstates in 1987 and completely repealed in 1995. As of today, 41 states have speed limits of 70 mph or higher on some portion of their roadway systems.
1In Hawaii, the maximum speed limit is established by county ordinance or by the director of transportation.
2In Idaho, the speed limit may be increased to 80 mph on specific segments of highway on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation.
3The Illinois law allows Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair and Will Counties to opt-out by adopting an ordinance that sets a lower maximum speed limit, empowering counties to make adjustments based on their own local needs. These counties have a maximum large truck speed limit of 60 mph outside of urban districts and 55 mph inside urban districts.
4In Kentucky, the speed limit may be increased to 70 mph on specific segments of highway on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation.
52013 New Hampshire House Bill 146 raised the speed limit from 65 to 70 mph on the portion of I-93 from mile marker 45 to the Vermont border.
6In Oklahoma, the speed limit may be increased by the DOT beyond 75 mph on any highway or part of a highway based on an engineering and traffic investigation, effective November 1, 2016.
7The Transportation Commission may establish a maximum speed limit of less than 80 upon any highway or portion of highway under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation, and any portion of highway under the jurisdiction of a state or federal agency.
8Sections of I-10 and I-20 in West Texas and sections of Highway 45 in Travis County have a speed limit for passenger cars and light trucks of 80 mph. Speed limits of up to 85 mph may be established if the highway is originally constructed and designed to accommodate the higher speed and it has been determined by an engineering study to be reasonable and safe. State Highway 130 (portions toll) has a posted limit of 85 mph.
9In Utah, the speed limit may be increased beyond 75 mph on any freeway or limited access highway on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation. The highest posted limit in Utah is currently 80mph.
10In Washington State, maximum speed limits on highways or portions of highways may be posted as high as 75 mph if based on a traffic and engineering study, effective August 2015.
11In Wyoming, the speed limit may be increased to 80 mph on specific segments of highway on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation.

is upon us and I'll be glad when it's done and gone. The big race at Churchill Downs is late afternoon on May 3rd and by Sunday we locals are hoping the hoopla is finished, the celebs have gone home and the gas prices have gone down from the current $3.75-$3.89 range that had been with us for about two weeks now. We rank right up there with California on gas prices it seems.
My goal to put together the descendants of the Montforts that came to Kentucky with the Low Dutch Colony is proceeding quite well. Now to make the charts to show each and every one that I've managed to locate. That is going to take some time and patience and hope I've got the patience to finish it. I am working now on the line of John Calvin, son of Francis Sr and Charity Banta Montfort....his line has proven to be very prolific and challenging.
I have found descendants for a cousin living now in Florida, David Quinn. I found in him the same off the wall sense of humor as some other Montforts I have had the privilege to meet. I had first learned about David when I stopped at the Jefferson County Historical Building in Madison, IN and found a letter of inquiry about his ancestor, Henry Monfort, son of Jacob and Margaret/Peggy Banta Monfort. I shot off a letter as soon as I returned home and was sad when it was returned a week later. When I got an email from him about 4 months ago.....you can imagine my surprise. A very fast reply got us started on his line of the family and I hope we get to meet at the next gathering of our Dutch cousins.
Tom Wylie is another cousin..and have been able to give him his Montfort family and start a friendship with him and his wife, Joanie. He and Joanie came to the Dutch cousins gathering in 2007 and it was great to get to put a face with a name finally.
I am working with Craig Montfort to figure out which of the Montforts is his. I have an idea it goes back to one in Ohio, based on the naming pattern used for the children of Jacobus and Leah Banta Monfoort. Montforts directly connected with Hendrick Banta 3rd, ALWAYS have a son named for the patriarch of the Low Dutch who came into Kentucky and this pattern follows for Jacobus Montfort and his wife, Leah Banta, daughter of Hendrick Banta 3rd. This Jacobus was the son of Peter and Margrietje Haff Monfoort and a brother to my Jan [Kniertje Marston] Monfoort. I am hoping Craig and I can come to an agreement and find proof that I am correct.
The next Gathering of Dutch Cousins has been set for the last weekend in Sept of 2009, at Harrodsburg, KY with one day at Shakertown about 7 miles away. More details will be coming as plans are set and I will post them here on my blog. Diana Davis and I are planning the event at Shakertown and so much of it we want to show off as our direct ancestor was one of the first of the Shakers to join the religious society in 1805 and early 1806.
It looks like we may be in for a bumpy ride later today, weatherwise..just hoping the storms die down by the time they reach us here in Kentuckiana. Cousins out west of us have had a hard time with tornadoes, straight line wind damage, hail and heavy rain and hope to hear all are okay. I see me writing several messages later today to make sure of that.

GoEcart Moves Brazilian Retailer to U.S.
As Web workers, we typically hear of U.S. companies expanding to Latin America, China and beyond, but recently Brazil's largest retailer of sunglasses announced its expansion to the U.S.
Along the way, Chili Beans selected GoECart 360 e-commerce solution to power its new online storefront.
"As we launch new sunglasses and other products each week and seek to expand our operations globally, we needed a feature rich and totally integrated eecommerce solution to keep pace with our growth," said Chilli Beans global marketing director Cristiano Frois. "GoECart 360 is both cost-effective and a good long-term strategic fit— a rare combination."
Also rare, is Chilli Beans rise to success. The company began as a simple retail stand selling sunglasses in São Paulo in 1998. Last year, the company sold more than 2 million pairs of the sunglasses. Today, Chilli Beans has 450-plus exclusive selling points in Brazil, the United States, Portugal and Angola - with major expansion planned for 2013.
With those expansion goals in mind, Chilli Beans reviewed several mid-market and enterprise e-commerce providers, but found GoECart 360 offered the most comprehensive set of functionality required by the cross-channel retailer. The company's requirements included:
• Flexible Web design and product catalog with built-in marketing and merchandising capabilities, complete order and payment processing, and back office integration with Intuit QuickBooks.
• Robust inventory management with pick/pack/ship capabilities, native integration with UPS and other major shipping carriers, reverse logistics management, and easy customer service /CRM capabilities.
• Drill-down reporting for each franchise location, whereby each franchise receives detailed reports of purchases based on location (by zip code).
• The ability to ensure that online store pricing is the exact same as that sold in retail stores.
"Chilli Beans selection of GoECart is a true testament to our ability to empower high-growth merchants with all of the features they need to succeed in online retail today," said Manish Chowdhary, CEO of GoECart. "Using technology like GoECart 360, multi-channel retailers can now focus on marketing, merchandising, and product development rather than on IT and integrating software tools."

RTC Conference Primers: #28 – Southland ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on October 6th, 2011
Zach Birdsong of The Houstonian is the RTC correspondent for Southland Conference. You can find him on Twitter at @zachbird_nerd.
Readers' Take I
Top Storylines
- McNeese State Returns Championship Squad: Last season, the McNeese State Cowboys finished conference play with an 11-5 record. That was enough to claim the regular season league title, but the team was knocked out of the conference tournament by UT-San Antonio. McNeese returns eight players from last year's team, though, including team MVP and All-Southland Conference forward Patrick Richard. With an experienced team, the Cowboys are hoping to break through to win the conference tournament and get to the Big Dance for the first time in ten years.
- A Knight In Sight: Pat Knight, son of legendary head coach Bobby Knight, was signed as Lamar's new head coach. After being fired from Texas Tech back in March, the Cardinals signed him to take over the program in April. With a new setting and bringing his Big 12 experience to the Southland, it will be interesting to see if Knight can improve on last season's disappointing 7-9 finish.
- Bearkats Move On Without Clavell: Sam Houston State will be without star forward and Southland Conference Player of the Year Gilberto Clavell, as he graduated in May. Clavell averaged 19.5 points per game and 7.3 rebounds per game last season. Head coach Jason Hooten will be bringing in a younger team as he looks to limit any slippage as a result of Clavell's departure.
Predicted Order of Finish

Home > What we do > Regulation > Charity regulation
This new responsibility results from the Charities Act 2006 (now consolidated into the Charities Act 2011), which implemented a government decision that all charities should be subject to regulation. Although they were expected to comply with charity law, exempt charities were previously outside the scope of the Charity Commission's regulatory powers.
HEFCE is one of several principal regulators, some yet to be appointed. All principal regulators have the objective, as far as they reasonably can, to promote compliance with charity law by the exempt charities for which they are responsible. This requires regular monitoring and occasional more detailed work, including liaison with the Commission on complex issues that might need the use of its powers.
Following consultation, we have set out the information we require from the HEIs that are exempt charities in the 2010 version of the Financial Memorandum between HEFCE and the institutions it funds.
Information about HEIs as charities, similar to that published by the Commission in respect of the charities that it regulates, is now provided on HEIs' own web-sites.

Enfamil Gentlease Milk-based Powder with Iron Infant Formula
Overall Product Rating5 out of 5
How We Measure This
At Clean Label Project, we believe that when it comes to industrial and environmental contaminants,…
Type of ProductInfant Formula
Product Tags
Clean Label Project was formed with the mission to serve as the catalyst to change the definition of food and consumer product safety in America. Clean Label Project believes that when it comes to environmental and industrial contaminants, less is better than more. Not only are the compounds potentially hazardous, knowledge on the long-term effects of exposure to these contaminants is concerning and still developing.
For more details on the rationale behind the product ratings, see the below breakdown on this product's analytical chemistry test results compared to the rest of the category.
Results Summary
Heavy Metals 4 out of 5
Heavy Metals (Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury):
Chemicals are part of our daily life. All living and inanimate matter is made up of chemicals and virtually every manufactured product involves the use of chemicals. Many chemicals can, when properly used, significantly contribute to the improvement of our quality of life, health and well-being. But other chemicals are highly hazardous and can negatively affect our health and environment when improperly managed. Heavy metal pollution and contamination can arise from many sources but often arises from metal purification processes, such as the smelting of copper and the preparation of nuclear fuels. The water run-off from these industries can result in contaminated soils.1
Arsenic: A by-product of smelting for copper, lead, zinc, burning fossil fuels, or in the manufacturing of pesticides or as an animal feed additive. Experimental and human studies have shown that early childhood exposure to arsenic can increase risk of impaired fetal growth, increased risk of cancer, neurotoxicity, and hormone disruption.
Cadmium: Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal that results from iron or other types of ores being mined, processed, or smelted and the nuclear industry. Studies have shown that it can have adverse effects on the heart and digestive system.
Lead: Lead can be emitted into the environment from industrial sources and contaminated sites. Mining, smelting, and refining activities have resulted in substantial increases in lead levels in the environment, especially near mining and smelting sites. Lead can affect almost every organ and system in your body. Children six years old and younger are most susceptible to the effects of lead. Even low levels of lead in the blood of children can result in2:
- Behavior and learning problems
- Lower IQ and Hyperactivity
- Slowed growth
- Hearing Problems
- Anemia
Mercury: Common sources of mercury exposure are a result of mining, production, and refining of gold and silver ores. The link between heavy metals and autism is presently an area of research. Final conclusions on this are premature at this moment but mercury is a neurodevelopmental poison.

Process Contaminants 5 out of 5
Process Contaminants (Mycotoxins, Acrylamide):
During the food manufacturing process, naturally occurring but unwanted contaminants can be introduced into the finished product. Despite this, these contaminants are potentially hazardous to health and can be reduced or eliminated through stricter supplier and quality assurance programs. In essence, these chemicals are contaminants of carelessness.
Acrylamide: A toxic and potentially cancer-causing chemical is formed in many types of food prepared/cooked at high temperatures.1
Mycotoxins:A toxic substance that is created from molds growing on wheat, corn, nuts, and grains.2

2 http://www.who.int/bulletin/archives/77(9)754.pdf
Byproduct Contaminants 5 out of 5
By-product Contaminants (Pesticides, Antibiotics, Melamine, BPA/BPS):
A final product is only as good as the sum of its parts. When it comes to food production, the quality and purity of the raw ingredients matters. In many cases, brands, knowingly or unknowingly, source ingredients from suppliers that may not have sufficient quality control/assurance program in place preventing the use of unacceptable chemicals (e.g. pesticides, Antibiotics, Melamine, and BPA/BPS).
Pesticides: Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Pesticides are used in agriculture, to kill pests that damage crops. By their nature, pesticides are potentially toxic to other organisms, including humans, and need to be used safely and sparingly to minimize contamination to food stuffs.1
Antibiotics: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a report on the rise of antibiotic resistant superbugs resulting from the overuse of antibiotics in livestock to preemptively treat illness and disease. The CDC referred to antibiotic resistance as the single biggest threat to public health and safety.2 Repeat low-level exposure to antibiotics can render them useless when an illness or infection occurs in a human that necessitates the use of an antibiotic. Clean Label Project tested for the presence of residual antibiotics in the food products.
Melamine (and its analogues): Melamine is an industrially synthesized chemical used for a wide variety of applications, such as laminates, coatings and plastics. According to a report from the Chinese Ministry of Health, 294,000 infants had been affected by melamine-contaminated infant formula by the end of November 2008. Melamine produces crystals in urine and can have detrimental health effects on the kidney and bladder.3
BPA/BPS: Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS) are industrial chemicals that are widely used in the production of plastics (used in food contact materials, such as baby bottles and food containers) and epoxy resins (used as protective linings for canned foods and beverages and as a coating on metal lids for glass jars and bottles). These uses result in consumer exposure to BPA via the diet. These chemicals have been linked to hormone disruption.4

Ingredient Quality 5 out of 5
We know you want a quality, nutritious food for your child in addition to one that is low in industrial and environmental contaminants. While it's always best to consult your pediatrician for your child's specific nutritional needs, we've factored in additional nutritional elements that may help with your purchasing decisions.
Given the growing obesity epidemic, Clean Label Project downgraded baby foods that contained added sugars. Clean Label Project also downgraded products that use artificial colors and preservatives.
Clean Label Project also wanted to test for nutritional qualities that wouldn't necessarily be on the product label. That's why we tested for antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity is important for protecting the body from potential damage to the cells.

Without public transit data integrated into Apple's new mapping service, the company will have to rely on open data that's usable by third-party developers.
The upcoming release of the new iPhone 5 (release date still unknown), could expose those cities that don't share open data, The Atlantic Cities has pointed out.
Starting with the as-yet-unreleased Apple iOS 6, the company is planning to ditch Google Maps and replace it with its own mapping software. Apple's new mapping software will not include public transit navigation, so unlike Google Maps — which has spent the past seven years working with cities to offer this information to its users — Apple will need to rely on third-party developers to develop apps that make use of open data offered by city governments.
Here's the rub, as The Atlantic Cities astutely observes: Many large cities — such as Atlanta, Phoenix and Detroit — do not offer open data about public transit systems, but these cities do work with Google to provide that information.
This could result in increased public awareness about open data, as iPhone users upset about lost mapping functionality could begin requesting that their city offer open data sets. Or they might just switch to Android.
[For in-depth reporting on the issue, read the Atlantic Cities article about the new iPhone's effect on the world of open data.]

ACOEM sends the thoughts and prayers of its members to the people of Japan following the recent earthquake and tsunami. It has offered its assistance and the help of the occupational physician community to the U.S. federal government as it considers mobilization strategies to help with the Japanese recovery effort. An educational session dedicated to issues covering the earthquake in Japan and the potential occupational issues, such as radiation exposures, or rescue and recovery efforts was held at the American Occupational Health Conference in Washington, DC., on March 28, 2011.
The National Library of Medicine reminds users of three resources of special interest to those who need to learn more about or have urgent access to health information related to tsunamis, earthquakes, and radiation emergencies affecting Japan.
Clinicians who need to learn about assessing and managing radiation emergencies are urged to use the Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM) web site at. Selected key files from REMM are also available for downloading on mobile devices from http://www.remm.nlm.gov/downloadmremm.htm. The entire REMM web site can be downloaded to a laptop or desktop computer for use where there is no Internet connection. REMM is produced by HHS/ASPR, NLM, NCI, and CDC.
The NLM Emergency Access Initiative, has been activated in support of medical efforts in Japan. The Emergency Access Initiative is a collaborative partnership between NLM and participating publishers to provide free access to full-text articles from over 230 biomedical journals and over 65 reference books and online databases to healthcare professionals and libraries affected by disasters. It serves as a temporary collection replacement and/or supplement for libraries affected by disasters that need to continue to serve medical staff and affiliated users. It is also intended for medical personnel responding to the specified disaster. EAI is not an open access collection - it is only intended for those affected by the disaster or assisting the affected population. If your library is working with a library or organization involved in relief efforts in Japan, please let them know of this service. NLM thanks the numerous participating publishers for their generous support of this initiative.
A new page of links to information on "Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Radiation Event - March 2011" is now available at http://disasterinfo.nlm.nih.gov/dimrc/japan2011.html. The resources on this page may help with understanding the health issues related to the devastating Japan earthquake, tsunami, and possible nuclear power plant disruptions. Resources from the National Library of Medicine, US federal agencies, and other key resources are listed for responders, health professionals, and the general public.

Keith Urban Takes to the Desert in 'For You' Video
Keith Urban hits the desert sand in his video for 'For You.' The song appears in the upcoming action flick 'Act of Valor,' which tells the story of Navy SEALS. This clip features Urban and his band performing in the baking hot heat of the sun, spliced with images from the film.
Aside from the shots of Urban knuckling down on his axe and flipping his always well-styled hair, the video gives us a good indication of how the film plays out. We see the SEALS, their gig, their plights, their families and their personal lives. Being a Navy SEAL ain't easy, that's for sure.
Even though Urban is Australian, he still shows his support to the men and women who risk their lives for this great country with this song and video.
The video also has some "cool stuff," like the explosions that detonate in the background while Urban is playing. It looks pretty awesome, yes, when stuff blows up. But it also hammers home the point that while Navy SEALs have a tough job, somebody has to do it.

Eric Sprott not only does the talk, but is doing the work as well - the target size of the fund is 500 mil and it shows that China is not only interested in Gold, but in the Gold and Silver mining companies as well. This is the sign where the money will be coming from in the resource sector. China knows when to sell and when it is time to buy.
Zijin Mining Group is the largest Gold and the second largest Copper producer in China and this move shows that smart money are already shopping for the projects to feed their pipeline.
We hope that Rob McEwen is keeping his phone line open and has translated Los Azules Copper presentation in Chinese as well...
McEwen Mining & TNR Gold: CIBC Reiterates "Outperform" Rating for Lumina Copper MUX, TNR.v, LCC.v
Gold, Silver, Copper, Lithium and Market Emotions Cycle GDX, MUX, TNR.v, LIT, ILC.v
Find yourself in the picture. It is all about emotions and our ability to control it. We listen to those who has been there and did it already: stay discipline, stay focused."
Eric Sprott: "China Bought 60% of Gold Production Last Month, I Am Buying Gold And Silver Stocks Now." MUX, TNR.v"Price of Gold and Silver will be the main driving forces for all survived companies. Eric has very bold prediction for Gold going to $2400 by next year: "The most important thing in the precious metals business - the price of precious metals. They all go up if the price of Gold will go up. The question is which one will go up 200% or 500%. If the Gold will go up to $2400, I can bet that the Gold miners index goes up 200%. What we are trying to do: where is the one which will go up 1000%."
Sprott Launches New Offshore Fund with Zijin Mining GroupTORONTO, Sept. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Sprott Inc. (TSX: SII) ("Sprott" or the "Company") today announced that it has launched a new offshore global mining fund (the "Fund") with Zijin Mining Group Company Limited ("Zijin"). All relevant regulatory approvals have been received in Canada and the People's Republic of China and the Fund has been initially seeded with US$100 million from Zijin and US$10 million from Sprott.
"We are very pleased to launch this new fund which will allow us to open a new market for our investment products," said Peter Grosskopf, CEO of Sprott. "Zijin is the largest gold producer and the second largest mined copper producer in China and is listed on both theHong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. We believe the combination of Zijin's technical strengths and Sprott's resource investment expertise will prove to be an attractive option for investors looking to invest in the mining sector with a focus on gold."
The Fund management company is a joint venture between Sprott and Zijin and will invest primarily in the publically-listed equity and debt instruments of gold, other precious metals and copper mining companies. The Fund will be co-managed by affiliates of Sprott and Zijin. Under the joint venture agreement, Americas Now Resources Investment Management Corp. has agreed to provide technical and marketing services to the Fund.
The target size of the Fund is US$500 million and the Company anticipates receiving additional commitments from onshore Chinese investors beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Lampert Eiermann shelving Lampert Eiermann shelving Lampert Eiermann shelving Lampert Eiermann shelving
The Eiermann shelf is an archetype of shelving design. Egon Eiermann designed this shelf in 1932 for the much-acclaimed "The Growing House" exhibition in Berlin. The idea was to design a shelf for a home that can grow with the family. Thanks to a holistic approach, this also included the furniture. We have optimised both detailing and materials for modern requirements and production. The frame is available in stainless steel or in a powder-coated design in white, basalt grey or black. The shelves come in smoked or light oak, in bleached maple, white melamine or in a five-layer version stained with a small amount of white pigment. Available widths: 1400, 1600 and 2000 mm; up to 6 metres high. You can also have a matching integrated cabinet with sliding doors.
