BMW's flagship 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan that competes with top-line luxury cars like the Audi A8, Jaguar XJ and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Offered with rear- or all-wheel drive, the 7 Series is also available in regular- and extended-length versions. The luxury sedan comes with four or five seats and is powered by a six-cylinder engine in the 740i and ActiveHybrid 7, a V-8 in the 750i and a V-12 in the 760i. There's also a performance-oriented V-8-powered Alpina B7.
New features include a touchpad for text input that accompanies the iDrive rotary controller. Also new is an available smart-closing trunk. When the driver makes a kicking motion below the rear bumper, the trunk will close. A digital instrument cluster with various views is also new.

There's also a performance-oriented V-8-powered Alpina B7.
The 740i and 750i now have an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the drivetrains include fuel-saving stop-start technology. The 750i's twin-turbo V-8 engine makes more power and is now rated at 445 horsepower and 480 pounds-feet of torque.
On the outside, the 7 Series receives styling tweaks including a larger grille, full-width air intake with a revised front apron, LED headlight rings and newly available LED headlamps. The side mirrors have integrated turn signals, and the taillights and rear apron receive slight changes. Meanwhile, the 7 Series cabin gets new front seats, adjustable ambient lighting, an available Bang & Olufsen stereo, an updated navigation system and enhanced soundproofing.
The current 7 Series gets a slight refresh on the outside this year, with updated headlights, a revised grille and a redesigned front air intake. The optional M Sport Package augments the exterior with more aggressive lower bodywork and darker Shadowline door and window trim. Exterior features include:
An array of entertainment and comfort features is available. BMW's iDrive system, which controls the navigation system, stereo, climate system and other functions, was revised in recent years to make it more user-friendly. Interior features include:
The engine lineup includes a 315-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder for the 740 and ActiveHybrid 7; a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 for the 750; and a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 with 535 hp for the 760. The V-8 produces 445 hp in the 750 and 500 hp in the Alpina B7. Mechanical features include:
Safety features include:
Choosing a flagship luxury sedan to park in your garage is an enviable dilemma. There's pretty much no losing when your options include exotic names and alphanumeric soup like A8, Panamera and S-Class. Add to this list the 2012 BMW 7 Series, one of the sportiest and most popular luxury cruisers that blends a dynamic driving experience with practical, everyday utility.
For 2012, the 7 Series again offers a turbocharged inline-6 engine in the 740i and 740Li. Up until last year an inline-6 hadn't been seen in a 7 Series model in two decades. And although it's tempting to dismiss it as a pokey model intended as dealership traffic bait, the 740i with its 315-horsepower twin-turbo inline-6 is as quick from zero to 60 mph (5.8 seconds) as the V8-powered Lexus LS 460 and nearly matches the power of the V8 7 Series from 10 years ago.
The 7 Series is also one of the most engaging cars in the class to drive. Equipped with optional active steering, the 7 Series impresses with its ability to sweep around tight corners. Even in standard rear-wheel-drive form, it twists sharper and surer than many midsize luxury sedans. The Driving Dynamics Control (DDC) system even allows the driver to choose among four settings (including transmission response and suspension calibration) to satisfy a greater breadth of enthusiasts. We've found it hard to dial in that just-right combination of all the adjustable DDC attributes however, and we wonder if simpler would be better.
Despite its mastery, it's hard to proclaim the 2012 BMW 7 Series better or worse than other all-stars like the Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Porsche Panamera. It's simply different. Depending on what you intend to spend and how much space you want, we'd suggest looking at them all. And why not? There's no way to lose.
Other than minor revisions to feature availability, the 2012 BMW 7 Series remains unchanged.
The 2012 BMW 7 Series is available in 740i, 740Li, 750i, 750Li and 760Li trims. The Li indicates the extended-wheelbase body style, while the 750 models can be equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive. There are also hybrid versions of the 750i and 750Li models reviewed separately.
Standard equipment on the 740i includes 18-inch wheels, adaptive suspension dampers, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, adaptive xenon headlights, foglights, automatic wipers, heated power-adjustable front seats, driver memory functions, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, four-zone climate control, leather upholstery and keyless ignition. Electronics features include the iDrive multimedia interface, a hard-drive navigation system with real-time traffic, BMW Assist emergency telematics, Bluetooth and a 12-speaker surround-sound audio system with a CD player, HD Radio, digital music storage, iPod and USB audio inputs, and an auxiliary audio jack.
The 750i adds 19-inch wheels, a power trunk lid, full keyless ignition/entry, soft-close automatic doors, 14-way front seats with adjustable lumbar and side bolsters and upgraded leather. These features are all available on the 740. Both the Li and xDrive models include a self-leveling air suspension.
Most options for the 740 and 750 are bundled into groups. The Premium Sound package adds a 16-speaker upgraded sound system and satellite radio. The Cold Weather package adds a heated steering wheel and heated seats front and rear on the 740i (they are standard on all other models). The Driver Assistance package adds automatic high beams, side and top camera views, lane departure and blind spot warning systems, and, on long-wheelbase and xDrive models, a head-up display.
The Luxury Seating package includes ventilated front seats, active front seat side bolsters and power rear and side sunshades. The Luxury Rear Seating package available on Li models adds power-adjustable and ventilated seats with a massage feature, while the M Sport package adds a choice of 19- or 20-inch wheels, an aerodynamic body kit, darkened "Shadowline" exterior trim and a sport steering wheel. A Rear Entertainment package includes a six-CD/DVD changer and twin rear display screens.
Other than the M Sport and Rear Entertainment packages, the top-of-the-line 760Li includes all the above standard and optional equipment. Integral active steering is standard on the 760Li and a stand-alone option on the others. Other notable stand-alone options for the 7 Series include active roll stabilization, active cruise control, an infrared night vision system, special interior color/trim schemes and BMW apps that integrate with iPhones and iPods.
As BMW's flagship, the 7 Series presents the automaker's leading edge of luxury, comfort and technology. Supple leather and rich wood accents adorn almost every surface, and the available 14-way adjustable front seats ensure comfort for virtually any body type. The rear seats similarly accommodate taller adults, and the extended-wheelbase versions of the 7 Series offer even more legroom (by about 6 inches) and slightly increased headroom. Available rear seats that can heat, cool and even massage occupants should satisfy even the fussiest passengers.
The cockpit, with increased user-friendliness compared to its maligned predecessor, should soothe and reassure even the most technophobic driver. Some might still find the iDrive system a little tech-intensive, but BMW has commendably made the learning process more intuitive and we think it's an elegant alternative to a button-heavy dashboard. In terms of luggage space, the 7 offers 14 cubic feet, an underwhelming figure for this class of car.
The 2012 BMW 740i and 740Li are powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 that produces 315 hp and 330 pound-feet of torque. As with the 750, a six-speed automatic transmission is standard along with driver-adjustable settings for the throttle response, transmission programming, steering, suspension tuning and stability control intervention. Rear-wheel drive is standard.
In Edmunds testing, a 740i accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The EPA estimates the 740's fuel economy at 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.
The 2012 BMW 750i and 750Li are powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, paired with a standard six-speed automatic. In Edmunds acceleration testing, the 750i and 750Li dashed from zero to 60 mph in a blink more than 5 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined. Opting for the Li and/or xDrive lowers those numbers by roughly 1-2 mpg.
The 2012 BMW 760Li gets a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 good for 535 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard. BMW claims a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 13/19/15.
Standard safety features on the 2012 BMW 7 Series include antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, front knee airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. In Edmunds brake testing, the 740i stopped from 60 mph in an excellent 109 feet. The heavier 750i came to rest in an equally impressive 112 feet. The 750Li was about the same.
Optional safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure and blind-spot warning, rear and sideview cameras and infrared night vision with pedestrian detection that displays the images either in the main dash display or in the head-up display (if so equipped).

MERRILLVILLE | The town is asking the state Department of Local Government Finance for additional money.
Town councilmen on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution to file an excess levy appeal.
Town Administrator Howard Fink said Merrillville is seeking $1 million to make up for a shortfall in property tax collections during the past three years.
Town officials said there is no guarantee Merrillville will receive additional funding by filing the appeal.
About three years ago, Merrillville was successful in a previous excess levy appeal it filed with the state, Clerk-Treasurer Eugene Guernsey said.
Merrillville received $1.35 million through that appeal.
Guernsey said Merrillville saved funds by having Fink complete the current appeal process for the town, instead of paying Jim Bennett, Merrillville's financial consultant, to handle the work.
In other business, Councilman Don Spann announced Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle "Gabby" Douglas will be visiting the region Oct. 15.
Spann said he has been collaborating with Douglas' grandfather, Theodore Hawkins, to coordinate events in Merrillville during her visit. Hawkins is a Merrillville resident, Spann said.
Proposed events include a parade with Douglas and her family.
Spann said he plans to coordinate a visit to Merrillville High School, where the town would provide Douglas with a key to the town.
He said the school's orchestra, choir and gymnasts could perform during the program.
Douglas also is expected to visit Gary while in the area, Spann said.
"You're to be commended for that initiative," Councilman Richard Hardaway said of Spann's work.
Hardaway also asked Spann to try to include Andrean High School in Merrillville events.

The 3 Turbines
These steam turbines were purchased on Ebay.
I'd seen Empire toy turbines but couldn't see bidding on one considering
the construction of their steam engines. I've watched for handmade or factory
miniature turbines for several years without success. I was quite pleased
when I found these badly listed pieces and realized none of the regular "
Ebay Steam Brigade" had spotted them. Some times you get lucky and this was
one of those moments. Not wanting to miss such a rare chance, I placed a
and bought them. Each of the turbines is of different design externally,
but more interestingly, internally too.
These are prototypes designed for high
pressure, high flow operation. The
rotors are intricately machined
from solid alloy bronze and must
have taken quite a bit of work to
complete. The spare boiler
I keep around here is able
to produce up to 25 PSI which would
turn the turbines at very low RPM.
When hooked to an air compressor
at 40 PSI the turbines operated
fairly well.
I'm told they were made in about
1976 as part of a course study by an apprentice at The Royal Armament Research
& Development Establishment which is part of the British Military, located
in Seven Oaks, Kent England.
Multi-stage turbine Rotor Assembly
The response
since posting these little
machines has been unbelievable.
Several visitors have generously
tried to buy them. Others have asked
to "borrow" them, even
offering to put up deposits to ensure their
return. A couple of people
thought it a grand idea to donate
them to their "museum"
as tax deductions. One misguided
soul even felt the right to
demand that I sell them. (not
the wisest courses of action) As
entertaining as some of the inquiries
have been, you see, none were successful
in convincing me to part with these
rare pieces.

Doug Gardenhour has always had a passion for film, but it was a scene from the movie "Almost Famous" that prompted him to pursue his dream of producing a movie.
In "Almost Famous" music journalist Lester Bangs is seen throwing aside a record from The Doors, saying "Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing as a poet."
Gardenhour so strongly disagrees with that line that he is now in the process of filming "Disbelief," an hour-long film based in Westminster that he describes as his dedication to The Doors.
"I've always had a passion for this and now at the age of 44, I'm finally putting my foot down and I am going to pursue that," he said. "I intend to keep working at this and keep driving at this and making sure this project is completed."
Gardenhour began production in Westminster City Park Monday and plans to be film in locations such as the Carroll County Agriculture Center, along Green Street, and Hoffman's Ice Cream throughout July.
It's a small-scale production with Gardenhour traveling through the city with a hand-held video camera, a tripod, and a handful of actors and production assistants.
"I've seen these scenes over and over in my mind, no one should be shooting this but me," he said.
Gardenhour, a native of Smithsburg and now a resident of Frederick, said he chose Westminster because many of the landmarks from which he'll be shooting have not changed in 40 to 50 years.
"Disbelief" centers on 14-year-old Ray Edmunds, of Westminster, who is crushed by the death of his favorite rock star Jim Morrison. He is aided in coping with Morrison's death by Circus magazine editor Danny Newberg, who Edmunds meets in the Westminster City Park.
The film begins July 9, 1971, nearly a week after Morrison had died and concludes October 29, the day Duane Allman, of The Allman Brother Band, dies.
Gardenhour, who was only 2 years old when Morrison died, said he sees a little bit of himself in the main character, but the film is intended to relate to people who are now in their 50s and 60s.
"When they watch this film, they'll be able to say, 'Hey, that's my story. That's definitely my story, that's how I reacted to Morrison's death,' " Gardenhour said. "I believe it's marketable, it's very relative to that generation."
It was after seeing Almost Famous in 2000 that Gardenhour conceived the idea to make a film dedicated to The Doors' impact, but it wasn't until 2009 that he began writing the script. He finished in 2011.
The film was originally intended to be 2 1/2-hours long, but Gardenhour cut it down because of insurance and budgetary reasons.
His goal is to produce a three-minute trailer, a 10-minute film to enter in Ron Howard's "Project Imagination" and an hour-long film to enter into film festivals early next year.
He hopes to enter the film in five festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, and Maryland Film Festival.
Over the last nine years, Gardenhour has been collecting and purchasing props for the film, such as a mint condition Orioles batting helmet from the 1970s all the way down to baseball cards and a lamp on Edmunds' desk that fit the movie's time frame.
Gardenhour said he couldn't even estimate how much money or time he has spent preparing for the film.
But he's still looking for additional props and locations to shoot, including a pre-1960s police car and an older home dating to around 1971, preferably with an inground pool.
Gardenhour, a sales official with a storage unit facility in Frederick, is also filming this project around his work schedule.

MONDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Health-care providers should
move quickly to try to restore hearing in children who become deaf
after developing pneumococcal meningitis, a small new study
The number of cases of meningitis and related diseases have
dropped sharply since a vaccine for meningitis -- the 7-valent
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) -- became available in
"However, pneumococcal meningitis continues to occur, even in healthy children who receive the recommended PCV7 vaccination series in early childhood," Drs. Tina Tan and Nancy Young. from Children's Memorial Hospital and Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, said in a news release from the journal in which the study was published.
In children left deaf by the disease, the cochlea tends to
harden into bone over time, making it difficult to install an
electronic hearing device known as a cochlear implant, Tan and
Young explained. (The cochlea is the structure in the ear where
sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses.)
For this reason, the two physicians wrote, it's important for
cochlear implant programs to proceed quickly to install the hearing
device in children recently deafened by meningitis.
Their small case series study included five PCV7-vaccinated
children, aged 15 months to 10 years, who lost hearing in both ears
after being ill with pneumococcal meningitis. They received
immediate evaluation and treatment, and all successfully underwent
cochlear implantation in both ears to restore hearing. The average
time between meningitis diagnosis and cochlear implantation was
36.8 days.
Although children being evaluated for a cochlear implant in the
authors' clinic usually undergo a hearing aid trial for two to
three months, Tan and Young felt more more rapid treatment was
needed in three of the post-meningitis patients to ensure that the
implants took place before the cochlea hardened.
The study appears in the October issue of the journal
Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery.

The Anti-Gay Law in Uganda and the Miracle of Denial
Since Uganda's anti-gay law was signed recently, it's been amusing (and maddening) to watch various religious right characters scurry for cover. When nobody was watching, the holier-than-thou set have been visiting Uganda preaching their extreme anti-gay views. Now that people are appalled at Uganda's life-in-prison-for-homosexuals law, the "evangelical" right-wing preachers are laying low or rewriting […] [Read More]

The million-dollar-home dream goes poof!
If you paid seven figures, it probably isn't worth that anymore; for buyers, $500,000 is the new $1 million.
Half a million dollars is, by almost any standard, a lot of money. But during the past few years, when credit was easy and regulations were loose, for many Americans it didn't seem like all that much.
That's because they were able to borrow huge amounts of money to buy new homes, often with little or nothing down. And while most homes sold in the United States, even at the height of the housing bubble, were $500,000 or less, rising prices in many major cities and affluent suburbs around the country pushed the cost of a three-bedroom home into seven figures or more.
But the gap between $500,000 and $1 million is more than monetary. It is also psychological. And during the recent boom years, Americans became reckless consumers, buying cars, houses, clothes and much more that they couldn't really afford. The dream of a $1 million home, once so distant, became tantalizingly reachable.
Now that has all changed. While certain pockets, such as Manhattan, San Francisco and Boston, remain high, real-estate prices around the country have fallen dramatically. The downside to this, of course, is that many people now owe more money on their home than their home is worth. The upside is that valuations are much more realistic — and affordable.

Pain is spreading
That's because homes priced at half a million — and higher — are now also beginning to shrink in value. Initially, the properties hit hard by the subprime crisis were lower-priced dwellings more often than not bought by people with poor credit. But now, as too many people are experiencing, the pain is spreading even to people with good credit and higher incomes.
Until recently, sellers in wealthy neighborhoods were somewhat protected from the subprime credit crisis and were still drawing buyers with high salaries, good credit scores and a cushion of savings. But the problems worsened after global financial-services giant Lehman Brothers collapsed on Sept. 15. Credit markets froze, corporate giants laid off thousands of highly paid workers, and the stocks that padded the portfolios of the wealthy plummeted.
Even once seemingly impervious markets such as New York City, Florida and California, which had attracted well-heeled international buyers looking to take advantage of a weak dollar, began to struggle as the global economic slowdown washed over Europe, Asia and even the Middle East.
Asking prices for luxury homes nationwide have fallen 5.4% since Jan. 4, and such homes now stay on the market for 148 days, compared with 125 days at the beginning of the year, according to The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing's Luxury Market Report, which tracked prices through Nov. 7. The data — compiled by Altos Research — look at prices in the top 10 wealthiest ZIP codes in 30 large metro areas around the country.
Watching and waiting
"The entry level of the upper tier — the $500,000 price point and up — has been softening for a while," said Laurie Moore-Moore, founder and CEO of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, a Dallas-based group that trains high-end agents. "What we've also seen in the last month is huge uncertainty at the very top of the market. People want to know where are we headed, how serious [the downturn] is going to be, and what is the duration. There are enough questions that even at the top of the market, people are waiting and watching."
BusinessWeek.com put together a sampling of homes selling for about $500,000 in 17 of the most affluent communities across the nation. A few years ago, those homes would have likely commanded much higher prices.
Art Tassaro, a real-estate agent with Friedberg Properties in the wealthy New York suburb of Cresskill, N.J., said buyers have all but disappeared in the past few months. Sellers who want their home to move quickly need to be aggressive about pricing. One method is to average the three lowest sales prices in a given neighborhood during the past year and then discount that price by an additional 5%, he said.
"If it was bad before, it's worse now," he said.
Of course, if you're buying …
Grim times for sellers can be full of opportunity for buyers, especially those with cash, Tassaro said.
John Marcell, president of Better Mortgage Brokers in Upland, Calif., said sellers are discounting prices significantly in order to make a sale. Most sales are so-called short sales, where the lender agrees to accept less than the outstanding loan amount to avoid a foreclosure.
High-end homes are just sitting on the market in his area, he said. Entry-level homes now make up the market's strongest segment, because first-time purchasers can take advantage of low prices without having to worry about unloading their existing homes, he said.
"The only sales of million-dollar homes are foreclosures," Marcell said.

(CNN) — The victims of the Connecticut elementary school shooting have been positively identified by the chief state medical examiner, state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said.
All of the victims killed during the Connecticut school massacre died of gunshot wounds, a medical official told reporters Saturday. Their deaths were classified as homicides.
The victims of the Connecticut school massacre ranged in ages 6 to 56, according to information released by state police. Eighteen of the victims were described as female; eight were male. Twenty-six people died at the school, excluding the gunman. Twenty were children; six were adults.
All of the children killed during the Connecticut school massacre were either 6 or 7 years old, according to information released by state police. There were 12 girl victims; eight boys. All of the adults killed were women.
State police released a list Saturday of those killed during the Connecticut school massacre.
Investigators believe that Adam Lanza, the Connecticut school massacre shooter, attempted to buy a gun at Dick's Sporting Goods in Danbury on Tuesday, but was unsuccessful, a law enforcement source said.
Employees at the store, about 12 miles from Sandy Hook Elementary, have been interviewed and have searched the store's surveillance cameras for evidence that Adam Lanza had been there.
Investigators have been told that Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza had an altercation with four adults at the school on Thursday, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. Three of those adults, the source said, were killed during Friday's shooting.
Lt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman, said investigators believe Adam Lanza forced his way into the building.
Investigators looking for a motive in the Connecticut elementary school shooting found "some very good evidence," Lt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman said
The investigation of the Connecticut elementary school shooting scene will not be completed for at least another day or two, Lt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman.

The principal route into Sharqiya follows the new coastal highway from Ruwi in Muscat south to Quriyat and Sur, with the Arabian Gulf on one side and the rugged summits of the Eastern Hajar on the other. Attractions here feature an interesting blend of the historical and the natural, including the old fort of Quriyat and the ruined city of Qalhat, along with Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, two of Oman's most scenic wadis, while the off-road drive up across the top of the Eastern Hajar to Ibra via the Bronze Age tombs of Jaylah is another highlight. Past here lies Sur, the historic centre of Oman's famous ship-building industry, and still one of the prettiest towns in the south, and the turtle beach at Ras al Jinz.
Access to the eastern coast of Sharqiya is via the Sharqiya coastal highway (opened in 2008), which sweeps travellers south from Quriyat to Sur in little more than an hour. Plans to subsidize construction costs by a system of road tolls have been mooted but have not yet been put into effect, although a line of toll booths stands ranged across the highway 18km south of Quriyat ready to spring into action. The highway has provided a boon to development in the area, although it has also taken a toll on the various natural attractions it passes en route, while the increase in high-speed traffic and fly-by tourists has destroyed some of the area's original, slow-motion charm – an inevitable, if slighty depressing, consequence of Oman's ineluctable modernization.Read More
The first town of any significance south of Muscat, QURIYAT lies some 80km from the capital, a 45-minute drive from Ruwi along a fast and relatively empty new stretch of dual carriageway which weaves between the craggy foothills of the Eastern Hajar. Quriyat had the dubious honour of being one of the first towns in Oman to experience the destructive attentions of the Portuguese fleet under Afonso de Albuquerque. Albuquerque's soldiers attacked the town in August 1508, setting it ablaze and massacring its inhabitants – captives, it is said, had their noses and ears cut off, a popular Portuguese way of discouraging further resistance to their rapacious rule.
The town centre – a modest huddle of buildings and a low-key souk – lies around 7km off the coastal highway. The principal attraction is Quriyat's fort, which sits right in the middle of town, on your left as you drive in. Unfortunately, like so many other forts in Oman, it was closed at the time of writing for renovation – long overdue, judging by the crumbling exterior plasterwork and general air of dilapidation. In the meantime, you can still admire the fine old wooden entrance door flanked by two rusty cannon and the shuttered ground-floor windows which ring the building on three sides, suggesting that domesticity, rather than defence, was formerly the principal concern.
Continue along the road past the fort and a large mangrove swamp to reach the town's pretty seafront corniche, at the end of which is the harbour, with boats drawn up on surrounding sands overlooked by a round watchtower sitting proudly on the headland above.
Wadi Shab
Wadi Shab
South of the Bimmah Sinkhole lie the dramatic Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, a pair of spectacularly narrow mountain ravines, hemmed in by vertiginous sandstone walls with a verdant ribbon of date plantations and banana palms threading the base of the cliffs. Driving south, Wadi Shab is the first of the two you'll encounter, and perhaps the most rewarding. There's no road into the wadi (unlike Wadi Tiwi) – which is a significant part of its charm – even if the entrance has now been disfigured by the concrete flyover carrying the coastal highway. In a 4WD you can negotiate the first kilometre or so over deep, loose gravel, but after this progress is on foot only, as the gorge narrows, with a small footpath running along a small rock ledge just above the wadi floor, choked with huge boulders. It's possible to walk for another 45min–1hr up the wadi before the track becomes difficult, passing the ruins of old villages, further plantations, and deep rock pools en route – those around the end of the trail are a refreshing place for a swim, although the wadi's popularity with local and foreign tourists means that you're unlikely to have the place to yourself.
Wadi Tiwi
Wadi Tiwi
A couple of kilometres south of Wadi Shab lies the almost identical Wadi Tiwi, another spectacularly deep and narrow gorge carved out of the mountains, running between towering cliffs right down to the sea. It's less unspoiled than Wadi Shab, thanks to the presence of a road through the ravine (although, as at Wadi Shab, the dramatic scenery at the entrance has been ruined by the construction of a large flyover), although it compensates with its old traditional villages, surrounded by lush plantations of date and banana, and criss-crossed with a network of gurgling aflaj.
The road into the wadi was being widened and modernized at the time of writing (and should be complete by the time you read this), running along the valley floor, between plantations and past the rock pools which collect between the huge boulders below. After around 5km you'll reach the picturesque village of Harat Bidah, where the road narrows dramatically, squeezing its way between old houses and high stone walls. Past here the tarmac ends and a rough track climbs steeply for a further 5km up to the village of Mibam – a spectacular, if nerve-jangling, drive.
Jaylah and around
Jaylah and around
Some 4km south of the turn-off for Fins, brown signs point inland to the ancient tombs of Jaylah (or Gaylah) and the village of Quran. This is one of the most memorable drives in Sharqiya, a spectacular off-road traverse of the barren uplands at the top of the Eastern Hajar with a cluster of wonderfully atmospheric Bronze Age beehive tombs en route. The track also offers a convenient short cut from the coast to Ibra, although it's probably no quicker than taking the main road through Sur. The route comprises about 50km of generally good graded track, but there are some pretty rough, and sometimes extremely steep, sections here and there – 4WD is essential, as are strong nerves if you're driving yourself.
The route begins by switchbacking vertiginously up the flanks of the Eastern Hajar, a breathless thirty-minute drive with increasingly spectacular views down to the coast below. At the top, you reach the sere Salma Plateau at the summit of the Eastern Hajar: a rolling expanse of gravel plain, dotted with only the sparsest of vegetation. There's virtually no sign of human habitation until you reach tiny Quran, one of the loneliest villages in Oman – little more than a haphazard cluster of houses tucked away in the lee of cliff, and feeling an awfully long way from anywhere.
The ancient city of QALHAT was, up until the sixteenth century, one of the most important on the Omani coast – "A sort of medieval Dubai" as travel writer Tim Mackintosh-Smith described it in his Travels with a Tangerine. Qalhat's importance derived from its status as the second city of the Kingdom of Hormuz, serving as a major commercial hub in the Indian Ocean trade routes. The fame of the city attracted visitors including both Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. Despite its prosperity, the city suffered from certain strategic weaknesses. A falaj system provided a reliable source of water, but there was almost no agricultural land available and all food had to be imported by land or sea. Qalhat's already tenuous foothold on the Omani coast was futher undermined by a serious earthquake at the end of the fourteenth century, while just over a hundred years later, in 1508, the newly arrived Portuguese delivered the coup de grace, sacking the city, massacring its inhabitants and setting its buildings and large fleet of boats on fire, an event from which Qalhat never recovered.
The ruins of the city, originally triangular in plan, cover an area of over sixty acres, although it's difficult to make much sense of the confusing wreckage of assorted walls and towers scattered over a rocky headland and along the adjacent wadi (look out for shards of antique Persian pottery and Chinese procelain which litter the site). The only notable surviving structure is the Mausoleum of Bibi Maryam, a quaint little cuboid building enshrining the remains of the saintly Bibi Maryam who, according to Ibn Battuta, had ruled the city until a few years before his visit in 1330. The colourful tiles which covered the walls right up until the nineteenth century have now vanished, and the dome has also collapsed, though the remains of the delicately moulded arches and doorways have somehow survived the years.
The site was officially closed at the time of writing, although there's nothing to stop you walking up for a look anyway.
- Sur
Ras al Jinz
Ras al Jinz
Some 35km from Sur at the easternmost point of the Arabian peninsula, RAS AL JINZ is home to Oman's most important turtle-nesting beach, visited by thousands of magnificent green turtles every year, who haul themselves up out of the sea to lay their eggs in the sand. This is perhaps the finest natural spectacle anywhere in Oman (even if, ironically, you can't actually see very much after dark) – a magical glimpse into a natural cycle which has been in existence for the best part of two hundred million years.
Visits begin with a walk across the sands in the darkness to the edge of the waves, from where you'll see the ghostly silhouettes of perhaps a dozen or more green turtles emerging slowly from the surf and then heaving themselves laboriously up the beach – a Herculean trial of strength for these enormously heavy creatures. Half an hour later, having found a suitably sheltered location, the turtles begin digging themselves carefully into the beach, scooping out clouds of sand with their flippers to create a sizeable hole in which they then proceed to lay their eggs.
The whole scene is particularly magical at daybreak, as the sun rises, revealing the beautiful, cliff-fringed beach dotted with the great humped outlines of departing turtles, leaving great plough-tracks in their wake as they make their way slowly back down the beach before disappearing, exhausted, into the waves.

Galatasaray AŞ have sold Kader Keïta to Qatari club Al Sadd for a fee of more than €8m, with the 28-year-old forward having spent just one season with the UEFA Europa League contenders.
No contract details have been released for Keïta, who scored five goals in 27 league games last term as Galatasaray finished third in Turkey's Super League. The Ivory Coast frontman was also a regular in his side's UEFA Europa League campaign, registering five times in 11 fixtures, including qualifying.
However, the former LOSC Lille Métropole and Olympique Lyonnais player, who won his 60th international cap at the FIFA World Cup, never quite settled in Istanbul. He returns to the Qatar Stars League team he represented between 2002 and 2005. Galatasaray start their 2010/11 UEFA Europa League tilt in the third qualifying round.

More than 5 million Americans currently have the degenerative brain condition, there's no sure way to prevent it and current treatment options don't work for everyone. Even more millions are tasked with the sometimes difficult and frustrating daily care of those stricken with the memory-robbing disease, often with little experience or training.
But as the number of Americans with Alzheimer's has risen in the past few decades and continues to spiral upward, anecdotal and research evidence has accumulated on ways to make everyday life more bearable for those with the disease and to help those caring for them. It includes expanded knowledge of what works and what doesn't in areas of medication, living situations, everyday contact and more, and ranges from complex to simple solutions.
"There are times that it can be difficult to handle someone with Alzheimer's, but you have to have patience, and you have to put yourself in their shoes," said Teresa Dinau, a caregiver for Home Care Assistance, based in Palo Alto, Calif. "It's important to try to understand what they're going through."
Dr. Jacobo Mintzer, chairman of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, said that the biggest initial problem for caregivers is often that "they're trying to preserve the person they knew as long as possible."
"That's usually where they get themselves into trouble," he said. "Because of this desperate need to try to preserve the person, caregivers will put themselves in dangerous situations, like letting the person with Alzheimer's drive because it has always been important to them."
Not pushing someone with Alzheimer's to be who they used to be makes some caregivers feel like they've given up on their loved one, added Mintzer, who's also a physician at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, S.C.
But he said that's not the case and that there are plenty of safe ways to keep a connection. If someone with Alzheimer's used to like to swing dance, for instance, and you put on music and swing dance with them, it will often be calming, he said. Or, people with Alzheimer's usually enjoy looking at photos from the past, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Mintzer said there are no treatments currently available to alter the course of the disease. However, two types of medications have been approved in the United States to help with memory loss: a group of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors (brand names include Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne and Cognex) and memantine (brand name Namenda). However, the Alzheimer's Association reports that these medications don't work for everyone and, on average, delay worsening of symptoms only by about six to 12 months.

Consensus Building in Sensor Networks and Long Term Planning for the National Airspace System
Date: May 2011
Creator: Akula, Naga Venkata Swathik
Description: In this thesis, I present my study on the impact of multi-group network structure on the performance of consensus building strategies, and the preliminary mathematical formulation of the problem on improving the performance of the National Airspace system (NAS) through long-term investment. The first part of the thesis is concerned with a structural approach to the consensus building problem in multi-group distributed sensor networks (DSNs) that can be represented by bipartite graph. Direct inference of the convergence behavior of consensus strategies from multi-group DSN structure is one of the contributions of this thesis. The insights gained from the analysis facilitate the design and development of DSNs that meet specific performance criteria. The other part of the thesis is concerned with long-term planning and development of the NAS at a network level, by formulating the planning problem as a resource allocation problem for a flow network. The network-level model viewpoint on NAS planning and development will give insight to the structure of future NAS and will allow evaluation of various paradigms for the planning problem.

Design and Implementation of Broad Band and Narrow Band Antennas and Their Applications
Date: August 2011
Creator: Salmani, Zeeshan
Description: The thesis deals with the design and implementation of broadband and narrowband antennas and their applications in practical environment. In this thesis, a new concept for designing the UWB antenna is proposed based on the CRLH metamaterials and this UWB antenna covers a frequency range from 2.45 GHz to 11.6 GHz. Based on the design of the UWB antenna, another antenna is developed that can cover a very wide bandwidth i.e from 0.66 GHz to 120 GHz. This antenna can not only be used for UWB applications but also for other communication systems working below the UWB spectrum such as GSM, GPS, PCS and Bluetooth. The proposed antenna covering the bandwidth from 0.66 GHz to 120 GHz is by far the largest bandwidth antenna developed based on metamaterials. Wide band antennas are not preferred for sensing purpose as it is difficult to differentiate the received signals. A multiband antenna which can be used as a strain sensor for structural health monitoring is proposed. The idea is to correlate the strain applied along the length or width with the multiple resonant frequencies. This gives the advantage of detecting the strain applied along any direction (either length or width), thus increasing the ...

Development of Indium Oxide Nanowires as Efficient Gas Sensors
Date: December 2011
Creator: Gali, Pradeep
Description: Crystalline indium oxide nanowires were synthesized following optimization of growth parameters. Oxygen vacancies were found to impact the optical and electronic properties of the as-grown nanowires. Photoluminescence measurements showed a strong U.V emission peak at 3.18 eV and defect peaks in the visible region at 2.85 eV, 2.66 eV and 2.5 eV. The defect peaks are attributed to neutral and charged states of oxygen vacancies. Post-growth annealing in oxygen environment and passivation with sulphur are shown to be effective in reducing the intensity of the defect induced emission. The as-grown nanowires connected in an FET type of configuration shows n-type conductivity. A single indium oxide nanowire with ohmic contacts was found to be sensitive to gas molecules adsorbed on its surface.

Development of Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistors
Date: December 2011
Creator: Nukala, Prathyusha
Description: An economically reliable technique for the synthesis of silicon nanowire was developed using silicon chloride as source material. The 30-40 micron long nanowires were found to have diameters ranging from 40 – 100 nm. An amorphous oxide shell covered the nanowires, post-growth. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the composition of the shell to be silicon-dioxide. Photoluminescence measurements of the as-grown nanowires showed green emission, attributed to the presence of the oxide shell. Etching of the oxide shell was found to decrease the intensity of green emission. n-type doping of the silicon nanowires was achieved using antimony as the dopant. The maximum dopant concentration was achieved by post-growth diffusion. Intrinsic nanowire parameters were determined by implementation of the as-grown and antimony doped silicon nanowires in field effect transistor configuration.

Kalman Filtering Approach to Optimize OFDM Data Rate
Date: August 2011
Creator: Wunnava, Sashi Prabha
Description: This study is based on applying a non-linear mapping method, here the unscented Kalman filter; to estimate and optimize data rate resulting from the arrival rate having a Poisson distribution in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system. OFDM is an emerging multi-carrier modulation scheme. With the growing need for quality of service in wireless communications, it is highly necessary to optimize resources in such a way that the overall performance of the system models should rise while keeping in mind the objective to achieve high data rate and efficient spectral methods in the near future. In this study, the results from the OFDM-TDMA transmission system have been used to apply cross-layer optimization between layers so as to treat different resources between layers simultaneously. The main controller manages the transmission of data between layers using the multicarrier modulation techniques. The unscented Kalman filter is used here to perform nonlinear mapping by estimating and optimizing the data rate, which result from the arrival rate having a Poisson distribution.

Characterization of Ecg Signal Using Programmable System on Chip
Date: December 2012
Creator: Ravuru, Anusha
Description: Electrocardiography (ECG) monitor is a medical device for recording the electrical activities of the heart using electrodes placed on the body. There are many ECG monitors in the market but it is essential to find the accuracy with which they generate results. Accuracy depends on the processing of the ECG signal which contains several noises and the algorithms used for detecting peaks. Based on these peaks the abnormality in the functioning of the heart can be estimated. Hence this thesis characterizes the ECG signal which helps to detect the abnormalities and determine the accuracy of the system.

Employment of dual frequency excitation method to improve the accuracy of an optical current sensor, by measuring both current and temperature.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Karri, Avinash
Description: Optical current sensors (OCSs) are initially developed to measure relatively large current over a wide range of frequency band. They are also used as protective devices in the event a fault occurs due to a short circuit, in the power generation and distribution industries. The basic principal used in OCS is the Faraday effect. When a light guiding faraday medium is placed in a magnetic field which is produced by the current flowing in the conductor around the magnetic core, the plane of polarization of the linearly polarized light is rotated. The angle of rotation is proportional to the magnetic field strength, proportionality constant and the interaction length. The proportionality constant is the Verdet constant V (λ, T), which is dependent on both temperature and wavelength of the light. Opto electrical methods are used to measure the angle of rotation of the polarization plane. By measuring the angle the current flowing in the current carrying conductor can be calculated. But the accuracy of the OCS is lost of the angle of rotation of the polarization plane is dependent on the Verdet constant, apart from the magnetic field strength. As temperature increases the Verdet constant decreases, so the angle of rotation ...

Dual-band Microwave Components And Their Applications
Date: December 2011
Creator: Shao, Jin
Description: In general, Dual-Band technology enables microwave components to work at two different frequencies. This thesis introduces novel dual-band microwave components and their applications. Chapter 2 presents a novel compact dual-band balun (converting unbalanced signals to balanced ones). The ratio between two working frequencies is analyzed. A novel compact microstrip crossover (letting two lines to cross each other with very high isolation) and its dual-band application is the subject of chapter 3. A dual-frequency cloak based on lumped LC-circuits is introduced in chapter 4. In chapter 5, a dual-band RF device to detect dielectric constant changes of liquids in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channels has been presented. Such a device is very sensitive, and it has significantly improved the stability. Finally, conclusion of this thesis and future works are given in chapter 6.

Implementation of Wireless Communications on Gnu Radio
Date: May 2012
Creator: Njoki, Simon M.
Description: This thesis investigates the design and implementation of wireless communication system over the GNU Radio. Wireless applications are on the rise with advent of new devices, therefore there is a need to transfer the hardware complexity to software. This development enables software radio function with minimum hardware dependency. the purpose of this thesis is to design a system that will transmit compressed data via Software Defined Radio (SDR). Some parameters such as modulation scheme, bit rate can be changed to achieve the desired quality of service. in this thesis GNU (GNU's not unix) radio is used while the hardware structure is Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). in order to accomplish the goal, a compression technique called H264 (MPEG_4) encoding is applied for converting data into compressed format. the encoder was implemented in C++ to get compressed data. After encoding, the transmitter reads the compressed data and starts modulation. After modulation, the transmitter put the packets into USRP and sends it to the receiver. Once packets are received they are demodulated and then decoded to recover the original data.

An investigation into graph isomorphism based zero-knowledge proofs.
Date: December 2009
Creator: Ayeh, Eric
Description: Zero-knowledge proofs protocols are effective interactive methods to prove a node's identity without disclosing any additional information other than the veracity of the proof. They are implementable in several ways. In this thesis, I investigate the graph isomorphism based zero-knowledge proofs protocol. My experiments and analyses suggest that graph isomorphism can easily be solved for many types of graphs and hence is not an ideal solution for implementing ZKP.

Proposals to open five new charter schools and expand 11 existing ones across Massachusetts won coveted recommendations from the state's education commissioner Friday as part of an effort to provide more students with high-caliber educational opportunities, officials announced Friday.
The five charter school proposals, including two in Boston, prevailed in a crowded field that initially boasted 22 applicants last summer. That field was winnowed down to 11 finalists in the fall.

What can only be described as a shocking display at the school board
Last month the Federal Aviation Agency began requiring all U.S. airlines to carry defibrillators. Local physician Marta Kazymyra decided that if airliners have them then it's time Blaine schools did as well, and through her connections in the medical community obtained a unit for a discounted price which she presented to the board at its regular Monday night meeting this week.
Four board members present along with superintendent Mary Lynne Derrington watched Dr. Kazymyra demonstrate the device, about the size of two large textbooks stacked on top of each other.
It comes with a folding card of directions that are as simple as an airline safety briefing card and a sterile bag containing onetime use electrodes, scissors to cut away clothing, a razor to shave away chest hair, a towel to dry the patient's skin for a good contact and gloves for the person who's operating it.
When turned on it talks, loudly and in a very direct, football coach kind of way, ordering the user to "attach electrodes to patient's bare chest!" Once that's been done it tells you in a voice that could interrupt a hockey game that it's "analyzing heart rhythm, do not touch the patient!" If you or anyone else should move the patient prematurely the little yellow box scolds "analyzing interrupted, motion detected!" and you try again.
the voice alone could probably wake the dead, the machine
will analyze the heart to see if a shock is actually
needed. If the patient is simply unconscious it will
tell you "No
shock advised, begin CPR."
If it decides that a shock is needed, it yells "shock advised, stand clear!" followed by "shock now! Press the red button now!" like Mr. Spock on steroids. All that's missing is a miner plugging his ears as someone yells "fire in the hole!"
Dr. Kazymyra pointed out that these devices are becoming so cheap and they're so effective that it's foolish for Blaine not to have one handy for crowds. She suggested the gym as one place where it might be useful. For the people whose lives it will save, it can't be put in place too soon, especially since the loud little voice can get just about anyone to use it properly.
"But not this one," she
said, pointing at the chrome yellow Welch Allyn
model AED10 defibrillator on the school board's
conference table. "It's
just been recalled." A defective part
in a certain number of the machines inhibits
their ability to give a full shock so a replacement
is on the way.
The board also approved a new athletic code of behavior called Blaine high school extracurricular rules. It provides the same rules for all students involved in any activity beyond basic classroom assignments. Principal Dan Newell said that the rules now eliminate a coach's discretion in using another more stringent set of rules on his or her own volition. "It's the same playing field for everyone," he said.
The new rules describe partial season suspensions for athletes in terms of a percentage of the season's games rather than a specific time, such as three weeks, and further state that if violations occur while attending school or school functions then that person is "immediately removed from participation in any extracurricular programs for one calendar year."
The board hired Rob Adams to be the new varsity girls' basketball coach, replacing Patrick Green. Adams continues as varsity fast pitch coach. The next school board meeting will be June 28 at 7 p.m.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke "might have something up his sleeve next week" when he delivers his semi-annual monetary policy report to Congress: he could hint at a "funding for lending" program similar to what the Bank of England announced last month, according to one long-time Fed watcher.
If the Fed wants to ease again, the first lever they pull might not be more quantitative easing where the Fed buys government bonds to help keep interest rates low in the hope that low rates will foster lending and economic growth, says Decision Economics economist Cary Leahey.
Bernanke is scheduled to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday and in front of the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday.
They might try something else — perhaps a program not unlike the Bank of England 'funding for lending' scheme which explicitly ties increases in bank lending to lower funding costs from the central bank.
This possibility first entered investors' imagination following a June press conference with Bernanke, in which he seemed remarkably open to the prospect of adopting a similar measure.
