Investing in the Future by Transforming in the Present
"Transformation is a process, not an event." -- Esalen Team
Beginning in 2015 and over the next three years, Esalen will undertake the largest and most significant campus renewal project in our 52-year history.
Expansion and Renovation
The campus renewal project will begin with enhancements to the following structures:
- Lodge building and surrounding landscape
- Dining hall, kitchen, Huxley meeting room
- Construction of new guest rooms
- Ongoing guest room renovations
- Rebuild of South Coast Center staff housing
- Improvements to parking, accessibility and footbridge
Commitment to Sustainability
The unifying goals of all of these projects are achieving high levels of sustainability, the preservation and enhancement of Esalen's unique ambience and experience, and a long overdue upgrade to Esalen's capacity to deliver our mission of transformative programming to the next generation of personal seekers and cultural change-makers.
Guest Experience
Most of the campus will be untouched and undisturbed. Our aim is to protect the essence of your workshop experience and your overall Esalen experience.
These projects will impact only a small fraction of the campus at any one time. The baths, most of the meeting rooms, your accommodations and the meditative spots around the property will be unaffected.
We are all committed to minimizing the impact of the construction and noise to ensure that your Esalen experience during the renewal is as deep and wonderful as always.
Lodge Renewal Phase I & II
At the creative center will be a complete renovation of our iconic Lodge building that preserves its unique atmosphere while upgrading and expanding to meet guests' needs for years to come.
- Expanded dining room and new café
- New kitchen
- Larger Huxley meeting room
- Additional meeting room
- New firepit and landscaping
The renovated dining room and café will provide more space for reflection and life-changing conversations, complemented by increased natural light and high ceilings. The source of nurturing farm-to-table meals, our kitchen will also be upgraded and expanded.
The Huxley meeting room will move to the new second story of the renovated Lodge, offering an expansive, sunlit space that aligns with sacred universal patterns from ancient civilizations with the structural integration of the golden ratio, as well as a recognition of the seasons through an analema and solstice gazing windows.
Rebuild of Staff Housing at South Coast Center
In 2015, we will launch the rebuild of our South Coast center staff housing, much of which was destroyed by fire in 2012. There will also be new construction of a small cluster of guest housing on the north side of the campus near the Art Barn.
We Need Your Support!
Please join us in this exciting journey of renewal to preserve and enhance the unique, transformative Esalen experience while co-creating the next generation of Esalen. For further information on how to support Esalen's initiatives, please click here.

Roland Emmerich, who directed "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012" and "Independence Day", has bought the rights to "Emergence", a new heart warming coming of age story about a young boy's struggle to reconnect with his father. I'm kidding, it's an alien invasion flick that I'm sure will have all kind of crap blowing up and whatnot. Good old Roland doesn't care about kids! He doesn't care about love. He cares about people getting their faces blow up by giant ships and crap. I don't know where I'm going with this.
Well good for them! "The Purge", which was released this past weekend went ahead and earned back its budget this past Thursday night thanks to late night and midnight showings. The film was made for about $3 million and pulled in close to $3.4 million Thursday night, eventually bringing in over $36 million over the weekend. I can't do the math on what kind of profit that is but I'm pretty sure it's a lot.
No real surprise here folks, "Halloween" will get a special 35th Anniversary release later this year from the good folks at Anchor Bay. What is a surprise though is that director John Carpenter and star Jamie Lee Curtis will reunite for a new commentary track to be included with the release. A special special edition will also be made available with signed yogurt that helps ladies go BM regularly. I made that last part up.
Christina Ricci has been hand selected by the folks at Lifetime to play Lizzie Borden in an upcoming made for TV movie about the famous ax wielding daughter. I assume this means Ricci is only a couple years away from battling giant snakes with fish heads or something on Syfy so that really should be the news here. I'm pretty excited.
Between a half hour special on the gang activity in Chicago and this guy who just got arrested for having sex with a pit bull in a local animal shelter I'm starting to think I may have made a bad choice moving here.
Ever stayed in a really gross hotel room? Well it's nothing compared to this Motel 6 in North Carolina that had a rotting corpse under one of the beds. I wonder what kind of star rating that gets on Tripadvisor. I can't imagine a really good breakfast in the lobby could make up for that.
A few moons ago there was a rumor on the tubes that the fine people at universal Pictures were planning a sequel to the 2010 remake of "The Wolfman". Since that movie was horrible it sounded like a terrible idea. Now it looks like they're just scrapping the entire thing and doing a full on reboot that will go straight to DVD sometime next year. There's no way this can end well but I guess it can't do worse than shirtless Anthony Hopkins.
If you love things that are good, and if you don't I suggest you stop reading my news because you're going to hate it, than you're going to be tickled pink by the news that "Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil" has been picked up for distribution by the folks at Magnolia Pictures. Looks like the buddy horror romp will hit VOD on on August 26th and see a limited theatrical release on September 30th. So that's awesome news if you haven't already downloaded it from some virus filled site.
Get ready to get excited, kids! The first shots of season 2 of "The Walking Dead" are hitting the nets and they're chock full of zombie goodness. Namely some bloodshot eyed zombie women that I find strangely attractive. These are all such strange new feelings for me. While I try to figure this all out you can sit there and diddle yourself over the fact that season 2 will hit AMC this October.
"Do you have Asteroids?", "No but my dad does". Name the movie! Anyway it looks like Roland Emmerich, the guy who directed "Universal Soldier" and "Independence Day" might be locking himself in to do a big screen adaptation of the beloved 80's video game. I'm so confused by what I just wrote I don't even know how to be sarcastic about it.
Killing a cat is kind of messed up but you can really chalk it up to good harmless teenage fun. Killing 50 cats on the other hand, you might want to call the kids parents and set up a teacher conference. Or arrest the kids like they did in Washington. Stern talking to, or prison, your choice.
And here's a heartwarming story about a bear in Quebec, of course, that was hit by a car then shot into the air into oncoming traffic and eventually smashed through the windshield of a car killing the two people inside. I have no idea if this means the bear got revenge or what but I think the moral here is never go to Canada because it literally rains bears there.
"Glee" fans rejoice; show star Cory Monteith has joined the cast of Jamie Babbit's "Breaking the Girl", a story of manipulative college girls suckering others into killing for them.
John Carpenter is working on his latest film "The Ward", and is now releasing pre-production diaries on his official site.
Kevin Williamson talks "Scream" reboots. As of now, the only real word is "It's going great!", with a few minor details.
In the 'do they really think people will buy that' department, details have been released for the Blu-ray edition of Roland Emmerich's "Godzilla" remake.
Police in Hanzhuang China find a two headed baby howling in an irrigation ditch.
Boston Policemen were called in to investigate a suspicious find; a spilled chest of organs lying in a parking garage.
A 10 Ton Japanese fishing trawler was sunk off of Eastern Japan by a 200kg giant Jellyfish. Be sure to click through to fuel your sea creature infested nightmares!
1864 – American Civil War: Sherman's March to the Sea – Union General William Tecumseh Sherman begins burning Atlanta, Georgia to the ground in preparation for his march south.
When are we all finally going to admit it to ourselves: the trailers for "2012" are fucking sweet.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Even though volumes continue to drop, officials with the Community Health Center of Branch County say they are working to improve the hospital's bottom line. Inpatient admissions for October at CHC dropped almost 24% from last year, with surgeries down 4.6% and Emergency Department visits down 3.1% from 2012. Those lower volumes caused the hospital to have an $845,000 loss for October 2013.
Hospital officials say they are working on fringe benefit modifications, physician recruitment, and daily flexing of staff as ways to improve their financial margin. Based on the hospital's current financial position, the CHC Board of Trustees this week voted to amend their Capital Budget, dropping about $1.6 million from the plan, with another $791,000 pushed forward to the 2014 budget year.

2014 KIA SORENTO: Kia will be exhibiting the significantly redesigned Sorento CUV at the 106th Edition of the Chicago Auto Show, Feb.8-17, 2014. The crossover receives an all-new platform, retooled grille, front and rear LED accents, and a new 3.3-liter GDI V-6 engine. Also, the 2014 Sorento is the first Kia vehicle to offer the next-generation UVO eServices voice-activated telematics system. This model year, Sorento lineup includes the entry-level LX, SX, EX and top-tier Limited trim levels. The 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder engine returns, now as standard equipment in the LX and EX that delivers a healthy 191 horsepower. Stock powerplant on the LX V6, EX V6, SX and SX Limited is the new 290hp 3.3L V-6. Performance is routed to either the front wheels or the optional Torque On Demand all-wheel drive system. Regardless of engine or driveline selection, the Sorento comes with the six-speed automatic transmission, Electric Motor Driven power steering and new FlexSteer with a choice of three steering modes: Comfort, Normal and Sport. Sorento's comfortable cabin offers five and seven-passenger seating, power-folding side mirrors, a heated wood trim steering wheel, memory driver seat and side mirror position, a power passenger seat and a cool ventilated driver's seat. A redesigned instrument panel combines large center gauge cluster with a seven-inch TFT LCD that projects a digital speedometer flanked by easy-to-read analog instruments for the tachometer, fuel level and engine temp. When middle and third rear seats are down, a spacious 141.5 cu. ft. of cargo room becomes available. Offered only in Ebony Black, Snow White Pearl and Titanium Silver, the SX Limited is set apart visually from the Sorento SX by unique self-leveling Xenon HID head lights, exclusive 19-inch chrome wheels and sporty red painted brake calipers. Inside, unique and luxurious Nappa leather trimmed seats, a wood-trimmed, heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats are all standard, and exclusive SXL badges adorn the exterior to complete the look.

Alarm Management
A properly implemented alarm system can reduce operator work load, improve situational awareness and aid the operator in preventing minor deviations from becoming major incidents. A poorly implemented system adds to workload, increases frustration, stress, and confusion, and can ultimately impact safety, reliability, production, and profitability.
Does the following seem familiar?
• During plant upsets are the alarms coming in so fast that your console operator has someone stand next to them and press the silence button
• Your console operators pick their own alarms settings
• Alarms are configured, but no one knows why they were set at that particular value
• Your console operators only look at the screen when the alarm goes off
• You have pages of disabled or standing alarms
• Your site does not have a clearly written, well understood, and fully implemented alarm management philosophy
You are not alone, but before you go out and fix it you need to understand the problem, the solutions and how to implement an effective rationalization project.
Service Description
We will come to your site to put on a two day workshop to review Alarm Management Best Practices with key personnel on your site. This is an excellent tool to create awareness within your organization on the methods Best-in-Class facilities are employing to make dramatic improvement in the performance of their alarm systems.
The workshop covers the following topics:
• Industry standards and best practices including EEMUA 191 and ISA S88
• What is in an Alarm Philosophy?
• Alarm Objective Analysis
• Alarm Rationalization
• Alarm Lifecycle Management
• Alarm Rates
• Alarm Distribution
• Nuisance Alarms
• Smart Alarming
• Alarm Priorities and Annunciation
• Alarm Statistic Gathering and Analysis

Surprise, it's lemon grass. The delicate taste of lemon in our Lemon Chamomile tea comes from natural lemon grass, which offers the aroma of lemon without the bitterness of lemons. We combine lemon grass from Thailand with chamomile to blend a honey colored infusion. The result is an invigorating drink that includes an addition of orange peel that adds a delicate citrus flavor. Lemon Chamomile Tea is purported to be a natural aid for relaxation, sleep and digestion.

"Trust in Government Nears Record Lowâ€
The title of this article alone is enough to bring the reader in. This article talks about how, according to a recent survey, only 19% of Americans trust the federal government to do what is right and just. Meanwhile, the surveyed also showed that 26% of Americans are angry with the government. This record low trust in the government is probably due to the fact that our government had to completely shut down because parties could not agree. It is kind of alarming and demoralizing that such a large portion of the country doesn't trust our government. I read an article that mentioned the cost of the recent government shutdown cost 24 billion dollars. I think this is the reason people are so upset and in discontent with the government.

This season's difficult weather conditions have brought short-term issues of seed quality and availability into sharp focus for many growers. The problems experienced this year have prompted a number of questions from growers about the regulatory position on seed use and supply.
In recent years, increasing environmental concerns over Nitrogen leaching, soil erosion and also, the spread of soil bourne pests, such as Beet Cyst Nematode, has lead to increasing interest in both conventional and nematode resistant, cover crops. With a specialised breeding programme targeting solutions to these concerns, Saaten-Union are pleased to be able to offer an increasing range of technically proven catch crops which can be used, not only to reduce nutrient and soil loss, but also, reduce levels of soil pests, such as cyst nematode, in beet and potato rotations.

Windows 7 Logon Background Changer : Customize your welcome screen wallpaper
Windows 7 Logon Background Changer is a free open source software that let you change the wallpaper of the Windows 7 logon screen (also known as "welcome screen", "login screen" or LogonUI).
It works with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise and Starter, in x86 or x64 (32 or 64 bits). It also works on Windows Server 2008 R2 (but you are not supposed to customize a server).
On a side note, this small program is WPF based, it's a nice technical demo of Windows Presentation Foundation capabilities for those interested in WPF. It requires a decent GPU for the 3D animations to run smoothly.
What does it do?
- It does NOT change any system file, and the program itself does not requires admin rights to run : it will just ask you to run as admin a very simple cmd file that creates the required folder and registry key with the appropriate rights. Any user of the computer will then be able to change the Windows 7 logon screen wallpaper. You can also prevent users from being able to change the logon screen wallpaper if you don't want them to be able to modify it without administrator rights (option available by clicking on the "Settings" button).
- It creates a few JPEG files based on the image you want to put as wallpaper for the Windows 7 login screen, applies the appropriate cropping and sizing and saves them using the best compression quality possible.

You Did a Awsome work for everyone , who is bored by seeing everyday the asme bootup screen.
I'm very novish with C#, but i successfully run the solution with VisualC# express 2010.
If you give me about a flow chart of you creative program then it will be helpfull to me and other who is interested inthis subjet and try to develop with more ideas to bring your effort more successfull.
Many many thanks to you .

|Awesome application !
A small question:
I have 2 screens each 1920x1200, full desktop over both,
I have a a matching image 3840x1200, using it for desktop background.
I would like to use it on the lock screen.
How do I get it to cover the full lock screen area ?
Now it is truncated on the sides.
I guess it is only 1920x1200.
|Julien MANICI - 2014/09/13 15:05
|Sorry. Only the main monitor can display the wallpaper.
It's a limitation from Windows 7, I can't override it.
|pixelstorm - 2014/09/22 13:08
|Thats strange,
my lock screen spans both my monitors.
and the userlogon (both login and lock screens)
is in the midle (between the 2 monitors).
Could it have something to do with gfx drivers ?
I'm using nVidia latest, and enabled mosaic mode.
I'm running Win 7 Enterprice 64bit.
After a couple of reboots, my wide wallpaper is no
croped to the width of one monitor and streched over both,
so now at least it covers all, but is very ugly streched.
Ugly work around wuld be too pre compress the wallpaper
and then let it be streched.
|Julien MANICI - 2014/09/23 12:51
|Yes obviously it's the GPU driver that is exposing only 1 virtual monitor to Windows, made up of your 2 monitors.
You may want to go to c:\windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds, remove all images except backgroundDefault.jpg. That is the file that Windows will likely use, considering your virtual screen resolution. You can try to update it manually, but it must be less then 256kb, or Windows will not use it.
|Cinestar - 2014/09/08 22:51
|Help me! I lost the second windows. No choice! What to do?
|Julien MANICI - 2014/09/09 08:37
|I don't understand, what do you mean by "the second windows"?
|Cinestar - 2014/09/10 02:27
|OS selection menu in the loader - I had Win7 (HDD) for games and Win7 (SSD) for banking transactions.
|Julien MANICI - 2014/09/10 12:26
|Sorry, but your problem is not related to the use of my app, as it doesn't modify system files or settings related to the OS boot process.
Maybe you have installed a tool to customize the boot screen? That is likely to cause the issue you're reporting. Or maybe Windows failed to boot and did an "automatic repair"?
|Cinestar - 2014/09/10 15:20
|No, I've used your program. Removal did not help. Maybe the reason is the SSD.
|zaini - 2014/09/06 01:27

A year later, only 14 years of age, he released his debut album, AKA The Rugged Child. Lyrically, he impressed rappers with a skill level that would make any hip-hop fan forget about his age altogether. As a native of Staten Island, NY, Shyheim even spent time living with Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah. Shyheim released his second LP, The Lost Generation, in 1996. The acclaimed Manchild followed in 1999.

When you're bottom of the table, you need a bit of luck, and on Monday night, Deportivo La Coruna, rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table, got just that.
German Lux, Deportivo goalkeeper, would argue it was skill of course. The 30-year-old Argentinian shot-stopper pulled off a miraculous double save to deny Valladolid forward Oscar Gonzalez during their recent La Liga encounter.
The first save was relatively routine, a sharp reaction shot from a header, but Lux, an Argentinian international, wasn't done there.
His parry fell back to the feet of Gonzalez, who instinctively guided it back towards the net. But Lux was not to be beaten.
Still on the deck, he reached back and scooped it out, preserving a precious point for his embattled side.
It's already been billed as one of the best "saves of the season" in Spain. What do you think?
Take a look here and have your say…
But what about this one? This keeper in the Australian A-League stepped up to save a penalty in the 94th minute, before getting back up to save the rebound in spectacular fashion.
Which one is more impressive?
Have a watch here and join the debate below...

It is disappointing to see Dick Morris' predictions about the aftermath of Barack Obama's win in South Carolina come true:
If Hillary loses South Carolina and the defeat serves to demonstrate Obama's ability to attract a bloc vote among black Democrats, the message will go out loud and clear to white voters that this is a racial fight. It's one thing for polls to show, as they now do, that Obama beats Hillary among African-Americans by better than 4-to-1 and Hillary carries whites by almost 2-to-1. But most people don't read the fine print on the polls. But if blacks deliver South Carolina to Obama, everybody will know that they are bloc-voting. That will trigger a massive white backlash against Obama and will drive white voters to Hillary Clinton. SOURCE
Listening to the radio and visiting blogs, I find that many white Democrats have forgotten that mere months ago Hillary Clinton held more black voter support than Barack Obama. Just months ago, Obama was the "not black enough" candidate. Today, Obama seems to be the black candidate who is blamed for playing the race card, even though Clinton supporters were the ones to inject race into the campaign. It was Bill Clinton who slyly compared Obama's South Carolina win to Jesse Jackson's. It was Clinton supporter Andrew Cuomo who used the term "shucking and jiving" in reference to Obama.
Leftist talk radio host Alex Bennett has made irrational Obama bashing a full-time project, even accusing the candidate of using MLK Day for his personal gain because he made a speech during the holiday. A recent caller to Bennett's show wondered aloud "If we can drug test presidential candidates." No word on whether this caller ever wished to drug test Bill Clinton just to confirm that not inhaling thing. Bennett, like too many Democratic radio and blog commenters are perfecting subtle race-based attacks--all smirking and code words--that would make the battiest rightwinger proud.
Mainstream feminists were perhaps the first to reveal their inherent prejudices and ignorance of racial issues. A New York Times op-ed by feminist grande dame Gloria Steinem proclaimed that any good, radical, self-affirming woman would automatically vote for Hillary Clinton, because "gender is probably the most restricting force in American life." Women need to support their own, Steinem said. She even tossed in this ahistorical nugget: "Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot, and generally have ascended to positions of power, from the military to the boardroom, before any women (with the possible exception of obedient family members in the latter)." Gloria Steinem meet Jim Crow; it seems the two of you are unacquainted. Talk about failing to realize your own privilege.
Shouldn't feminists of color have a larger voice in determining whether sexism or racism are more oppressive? As a black woman, if I am going to vote for symbolism (as ridiculous as I think that is), should I not have the option of voting for the first black president? After all, my "own" includes Barack Obama, as well as Hillary Clinton.
Where were these "all women must vote for the woman" folks when Carol Moseley Braun was running for president? I know why I didn't support her--because other candidates more closely aligned with my take on the issues. But where were the feminists who say issues don't matter? Where were the women who say a vote for a woman is the only radical thing to do? Where was Gloria Steinem's New York Times op-ed for Braun? Could it be that when some feminists talk about support for "women" they mean white women?
Speaking of Braun, if black voters mindlessly support black candidates, where was the overwhelming support for Braun, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?
Oprah Winfrey, once the darling of upper middle class white women, is now being branded a racist by some former fans. Her crime? Announcing her support of Barack Obama. Inviting George Bush on her show and embracing him during his run for office was okay, but her support of Obama is beyond the pale. Apparently it couldn't be that Oprah has been moved by Obama's message in the same way that Caroline Kennedy, Maria Shriver or Scarlett Johansen have. Nope. Oprah, because she is a black woman, clearly has given her support just because Obama is a black man--and that reason is offensive, though some of the same folks who find race-based voting offensive believe gender-based voting is a-okay.
I've even heard some people bitching about the "blaccent" Oprah "put on" to speak to primarily black audiences in South Carolina. I heard Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis complain on her Sirius radio show that Oprah, "who is obviously an intelligent woman," would dumb down her speech. Because black accent = dumb, apparently. Never mind that code switching is something many people of color do to make their way in a society in which their culture is different from that of the majority. Never mind that white people with noticeable regional accents often do the same thing. Oprah was purposefully pandering and marginalizing white folks by daring to let her accent slip.
Proclaiming yourself a progressive or leftist or Democrat does not automatically make you one of the good guys. The dirty little secret about human nature is that we are all more drawn to people who look like us and share our backgrounds and experiences. It is easier to embrace a candidate who looks and talks and behaves like your family and friends, easier to understand her, easier to believe she is good and honest, easier to make excuses for her failings. And it is easier to demonize "the other." I fear many liberals have forgotten this.
Some of my fellow Democrats have spent so long blaming racism on the other side that very real prejudices on the left go unchecked. The unequaled scrutiny of black voters, and the presidential candidate who identifies as black, is unseemly. It makes a black woman wonder whether the differences between the left and the supposedly racist right are that vast after all.

Great place!
We loved the condo, it was quiet, clean and easy to get to from the garage area. The view fro the Master bedroom every morning was awesome! Thanks we want to come back next year for sure!
This being our first trip to Destin, we didn't know what we were in for, but this unit didn't disappoint. It was everything we wanted, and more. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were a family of 5, but because of the spaciousness, we never felt crowded. The balcony was large, lots of chairs and tables so we could all enjoy our coffee and the amazing view. The public spaces were very clean and it was obvious the building management took pride in taking care of everything; we saw the pool area being cleaned and well maintained every morning, along with all the public areas. The pools were very large, so it never felt crowded and there was plenty of seating for everyone. Everything was very secure, you need a key fob to get in the building, in the garage, and the pool, for some this may be a headache, but for our family, we were thankful for the security. For those of us that enjoy sightseeing, sometimes just getting on the main road can be a chore, if the entry to the building is in a bad spot, but this building is located at a red-light, so there is no dread of turning against traffic and it makes getting around so much easier. I would highly recommend this unit to anybody. Sheila, with ITZ was great to work with and answered all my questions, (and there were a lot), in a timely manner. Thank you so much for making our first family vacation and our first trip to Destin so wonderful!

Lincoln has unveiled the 2013 MKT at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The revised crossover offers a dramatically improved ride, sharper handling, better fuel economy, and new safety technologies including rear inflatable seat belts. The new 2013 MKT will go on sale in the spring of 2012.
"The 2013 MKT with Continuously Controlled Damping delivers a surprisingly vibrant blend of ride and handling. It's more than you'd expect from a full-size, three-row luxury crossover," said Scott Tobin, Director, Lincoln Product Development.
For 2013, The MKT will be powered by the standard 3.7-liter V6 engine that includes twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) and delivers a total of 300 HP - an increase from the previous 268 HP. Customers will also be able to choose a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers a total of 355 HP at 5,700 rpm and 350 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,500 to 5,250 rpm.
Hit the jump to read more about the 2013 Lincoln MKT.
Exterior and Interior
The only modifications made for the exterior of the 2013 MKT is a new grille and front fascia, as well as new wheel selections. "The effort behind the new look was to change the proportion of the MKT from the front view. We helped make it feel wider and a bit less tall, less vertical," said Max Wolff, Lincoln Design director. "The execution of the new MKT's grille and the grille bars is a lot more refined and elegant. The new front graphic displays a lot of three-dimensionality, but it's accomplished in a calmer, more restrained way."
The interior combines functionality, styling, and safety wit a number of features. It gets a standard Panoramic Fixed-glass Vista Roof and a three rows of seating configured in six- and seven-passenger alternatives. The second-row seats can also be heated and cooled, and the popular second-row refrigerator can still be had as an option.
The first two rows of seats are covered in Bridge of Weir leather with French and Deck seams. Bridge of Weir makes their leather using a unique organic tanning method, which produces leather free of chromium – making it one of the most environmentally friendly and fully recyclable leathers available. Environmental awareness continues with the soy foam made seat cushions, head restraints, and seat backs.
Other features for the interior include standard 12-way adjustable front seats, adjustable pedals, and a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The steering wheel can come heated as an option, with a thin metal element under the wheel's leather-wrapped rim raising its surface temperature from minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 20 degrees Celsius) to 74F (23C) in five minutes.
The 2013 Lincoln MKT is also much quieter than the 2012 model thanks to additional noise barriers and absorbers placed in the front wheel wells, around the shock towers, under the hood and in the trunk.
MyLincoln Touch
The MKT driver will also enjoy the latest upgrade of the MyLincoln Touch hardware that features a central speedometer flanked by two full-color reconfigurable LCD screens. The 4.2-inch LCD screens are controlled by five-way buttons on the steering wheel. The 8-inch multi-function LCD touch screen dominates the center stack and provides the visual and control interface for the entertainment system, phone, navigation, and climate control.
Infotainment Systems
Joining the improved MyLincoln Touch are two audio systems, both controlled through MyLincoln Touch. The standard system includes AM/FM/CD/MP3/satellite sources playing through a 210-watt system that drives eight speakers. As an option, customers can get the THX II Certified Car Audio System with 700 watts and 14 premium audio speakers for home-theater sound on the open road. These systems include AM/FM/CD6/DVD/MP3/HD Radio, an auxiliary input jack, and a USB port, as well as a six-month SiriusXM satellite radio subscription as standard. The Sirius system can also be upgraded to add SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link with voice-activated navigation controls for coast-to-coast weather data, forecasts, fuel prices, sports scores, movie listings and more.
The 2013 Lincoln MKT features the next generation SYNC system with new, simpler screen designs to improve the user interface. The screens have larger and bolder fonts making them easier to read. The SYNC system also provides standard Operator Assist which allows users to connect with a live person free of charge and enables the vehicle to turn into a Wi-Fi hot spot to operate gaming systems, PDAs, tables, and laptops.
The standard engine for the AWD 2013 Lincoln MKT is a more powerful and efficient 3.7-liter V6 that includes twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). Compared to the previous year's model, this engine has been increased from 268 to 300 HP and fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, a 1 mpg highway improvement.
For customers who need a more powerful engine, Lincoln is also offering a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that provides V8 performance with the fuel economy of a V6. It delivers a total of 355 HP at 5,700 rpm and 350 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,500 to 5,250 rpm. Fuel economy is projected to be 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
The MKT will be offered with two versions of the six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission, both with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 uses the 6F-50, and the more powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 uses the heavy-duty 6F-55. This transmission features high-energy friction materials, a larger ring gear, and a specific torque converter that optimizes the 6F-55 to handle the high-torque output of the twin-turbo 3.5-liter.
Other features assisting the engine are electric power-assisted steering, Active Park Assist, and an improved braking system. The brakes consist of new vented front discs that measure 13.86 inches (352 millimeters), more than an inch larger than 2012, and rear discs measuring 13.58 inches, a 0.58 of an inch increase of the 2012 model.
The 2013 Lincoln MKT will now ride smoother and handle better with the use of Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) in the model equipped with the optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. The CCD utilizes 46 inputs to feed data to a sophisticated control unit that continuously monitors more than 23,000 packets of information per second. It then reacts to the data by calculating the optimal damping force every 2 milliseconds or 500 times per second. What this means is that the CCD system can read the road surface and adjust the suspension in real time to avoid damage.
"CCD is always active, refining the ride of the new MKT," said Brian Naspinsky, Lincoln Vehicle Integration engineer. "CCD helps reduce body roll by up to 20 percent, making the MKT feel tighter and more buttoned down. Understeer on the MKT has been reduced by approximately 25 percent, so the car feels more eager and ready to respond. Simultaneously, CCD also makes it possible to provide a smoother, more confident ride over virtually any road surface."
The CCD system has three selectable ranges – Sport, Normal, and Comfort:
- Normal mode: Used for everyday driving.
- Sport mode: Used for performance-oriented driving. This setting switches the suspension to a firmer sport range allowing for 25 to 30 percent more control than in Normal mode. The electric power-assisted steering also recalibrates and traction control and electronic stability control settings are also modified. The transmission also upshifts at a higher rpm, downshifts become more aggressive, and the transmission will hold gears longer.
- Comfort Mode: Used for a more relaxed driving experience. When switched to this mode, the dampers will exert 10 to 15 percent less control compared with Normal.
The 2013 Lincoln MKT comes packing plenty of safety features and driving aids, including six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, and AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control), among others.
Additional Aids:
- Curve control: Maintains control if a curve is take too quickly by automatically applying the brakes to reduce vehicle speed by up to 10 mph in approximately one second.
- Lane Keeping System: Helps drivers avoid drifting out of their lane. This tool needs to be activated by the driver and will utilize a forward-facing mono-vision camera mounted behind the rearview mirror to begin looking for lane markers.
- Collision Warning: Does just what its name suggests with a forward-looking, long-distance radar. If a threat is detected, the system warns the driver with an authoritative beep and a simultaneous red warning light projected on the windshield.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Utilizes the same forward-looking, long-distance radar as the collision warning to monitor and adjust the speed of the MKT to keep it at a safe distance behind a lead vehicle in the same lane, even in fog or heavy rain.
- BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert: Uses radar to detect vehicles in your blind spot. The driver is alerted with a light that shows up on the corresponding sideview mirror.
- MyKey: This system can limit the capabilities of the car, allowing parents and concerned owners complete control. This system is activated with the vehicle key though the message center. It can control the following:
- Limited top speed of 80 mph
- Traction control system that limits tire spin cannot be deactivated
- Audio system volume limited to 44 percent of maximum volume
- A speed alert chime at 45, 55 or 65 mph
The new Lincoln MKT will go on sale in the spring of 2012. Prices will be announced at a later date.
The list of competitors for the new Lincoln MKT includes models like the Acura MDX and the Audi Q7 . Lincoln has promised that, in its standard version, the MKT will deliver more power than both of these models. The MDX uses a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that delivers a total output of 300 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, the Q7 will be offered with a choice of three new V6 engines (two gasoline and one diesel) and an 8-speed tiptronic transmission.
- Abundance of Technology
- Luxurious Interior
- New twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
- No real exterior modifications
- Technology will undoubtedly boost prices

The first time around, these were good. The second time around, these waffles were amazing! Improved upon both the maple and bacon flavor and appearance by: 1) baking the bacon and using the bacon grease to partially substitute for the melted butter 2) adding a teaspoon of maple flavoring to the milk mixture 3) reserving the crumbled bacon to scatter on the waffle iron before spooning the batter on top.
Bacon Maple Waffles
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Jan Gautro
Bacon and maple are a natural match—maybe why many people dip bacon into their pancake syrup. In this recipe, crumbled bacon is cooked into maple-sweetened waffles, so every bite contains that classic pairing. If you're using a Belgian waffle maker, spread about 1/2 cup batter per waffle onto the waffle iron, and you'll get about 8 waffles.
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 2 waffles and about 1 tablespoon syrup)

An Alpharetta police officer is recovering after being shot
five times by a man who led authorities on a chase Friday night. Officer David Freeman remains hospitalized in
stable condition, and investigators say an innocent bystander was also hit by
According to police, Officer Freeman pulled the suspect over for a tag
violation on his vehicle just after 8:30 p.m. near the 200 block of South Main
Street in Alpharetta. That's when the
driver opened fire and fled the scene, prompting a police chase.
Police say more shots were fired during the chase, and a woman driving on
Alpharetta Highway was hit by a bullet as the suspect was shooting at pursuing
officers. Four police cruisers were also
struck by gunfire during the chase.
The suspect's vehicle crashed on Ga. 400 southbound just north of Northridge
Road. Gordon said the suspect then got
out of the vehicle and opened fire on officers. Officers returned fire,
and the suspect was killed.
suspect has been identified as 52-year-old Curtis Hicks of Marietta.
Alpharetta Police spokesperson George Gordon said Officer David Freeman was struck five times by gunfire. He was hit in the leg, lower abdomen, right
arm, shoulder, and he was also grazed on the back by a bullet. The woman, who has not been identified, was
shot in the hip.
Both Officer Freeman and the woman were taken to North Fulton Medical
Center. Officer Freeman remained in
stable condition on Saturday. The
woman's condition has not been released.

|U.S. National Institutes of Health | www.cancer.gov
In the May 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), investigators reported results from the first multicenter randomized trial to compare postoperative quality of life between patients with early-stage breast cancer who underwent sentinel node biopsy and those who underwent standard axillary lymph node clearance.
Standard axillary lymph node clearance involves removal of all the lymph nodes in the armpit region. The procedure can cause considerable morbidity, and most women with early-stage breast cancer do not have metastases to their lymph nodes. In sentinel lymph node biopsy, a single node that is directly connected to the tumor site by the lymphatic system is examined for metastases. If none are found, no further lymph nodes are removed.
The ALMANAC trial randomly assigned patients to two groups: 1) standard axillary clearance or 2) sentinel node biopsy with delayed axillary clearance (or axillary radiation therapy if metastases were found). Surgeons performing sentinel node biopsies received special training through the trial centers. Researchers evaluated patients in both groups for side effects and for perceived quality of life.
Patients in the standard axillary treatment group were significantly more likely to report moderate or severe lymphedema at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery than were patients undergoing sentinel node biopsy. Patients in the standard axillary treatment group also had greater sensory loss and nerve damage up to 12 months after surgery. Self-reported quality of life was significantly higher at all time points for patients undergoing sentinel node biopsy than for the standard treatment group.
The authors conclude that sentinel node biopsy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, they caution that data on "…relapse-free and overall survival following sentinel lymph node biopsy are required before this procedure can be accepted as the standard of care."
Study Details Factors Inhibiting Colon Cancer Patients from Completing Treatment
Hospitalization due to intolerance of side effects from the 5-fluorouracil family of drugs and low social or psychological support are the factors most closely related to whether patients with stage III colon cancer complete adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, according to a study in the May 3 JNCI.
Previous research identified various demographic factors indicating a reduced likelihood of a patient starting chemotherapy, including race, tumor characteristics, and income.
In this study, when analyzing whether patients completed therapy, those who were female, widowed, elderly, or hospitalized during treatment were less likely to follow through with adjuvant chemotherapy, though stopping meant increasing their risk of dying from the disease.
The authors found that the strongest predictor of an incomplete course was whether a patient was admitted to the hospital again after surgery and after beginning chemotherapy - "probably representing complications from cancer therapy," they wrote. If rehospitalization occurred within 6 weeks after surgery, patients had a 66-percent chance of continuing treatment compared with a 79-percent chance for those who were not readmitted; for those rehospitalized 7 weeks or more postsurgery, the gap was even wider.
The researchers based their analysis on SEER program data linked to Medicare claims for 3,193 patients with stage III colon cancer between 1991 and 1998. Acknowledging limitations of the study, the authors conclude that interventions improving social and physical support for patients during treatment could be tested to improve adherence in the future.
Nonhormonal Therapies Have Little Effect on Hot Flashes
Hot flashes occur in half of all women undergoing menopause, and also are associated with cancer treatments such as tamoxifen and oophorectomy. Estrogen and other hormone treatments were widely used until 2002 when two large trials showed a small increased risk of blood clotting, stroke, coronary events, and cancer. Thus, information about nonhormonal treatment is of interest to cancer patients and researchers.
A review and meta-analysis of all such trials appeared in the May 3 Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Heidi D. Nelson and colleagues of the Oregon Health & Science University identified 4,249 potentially relevant trials published in English and selected 24 for meta-analysis.
Trials with antidepressants (primarily selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) reduced by 1.13 the number of daily hot flashes compared with placebo. Trials with the high blood pressure drug, clonidine, showed 0.95 fewer hot flashes per day. Trials with gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, resulted in 2.05 fewer hot flashes per day. No reduction was seen with soy isoflavone extracts and results were inconclusive with red clover isoflavone extracts. "Overall, the effect of these agents on hot flashes is modest, and they all have side effects," said Dr. Jennifer Eng-Wong of the Medical Oncology Branch in NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR).
In an editorial, Drs. Jeffrey Tice and Deborah Grady of the University of California, San Francisco noted that "Hormone therapy is more effective than nonhormonal alternatives but should probably be avoided by women at high risk for venous thromboembolic events, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer."
Cells from Cancer-Resistant Mice Cure Cancer in Other Mice
Researchers say they have cured some mice of cancer by injecting the animals with immune cells harvested from a mouse strain that is resistant to the disease. According to findings published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the injections eradicated large tumors in mice with highly aggressive cancers. The injected mice were also protected against developing various forms of cancer later in life.
The donor cells came from descendants of a single mouse that was found to remain healthy after being injected with cancer cells that should have caused tumors and certain death. A researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Zheng Cui at Wake Forest University School of Medicine made the discovery in 1999.
Since then, Dr. Cui and his colleagues have bred more than 2,000 of the so-called spontaneous regression/complete remission (SR/CR) mice, though the mice have not yet been widely studied outside their laboratory. The researchers believe, based on the patterns of inheritance in the mice, that a single gene is responsible for the ability to resist cancer. The gene has not yet been identified, however, and the researchers suggest that it may be a "transposon" that resides on different chromosomes in different mice.
The PNAS study explores the source of the immunity in cancer-resistant mice and whether the research could lead to a therapeutic strategy for treating cancer in humans. Though the experiments were mainly in mice, the researchers were encouraged. A major finding was that "resistance to cancer could be entirely transferred to cancer-sensitive mice for both treatment and prevention of malignancy."

Should we trust the invisible hand?
James B Glattfelder outlines an emergent entity in his study of transnational company data.
Is this entity trustworthy?
Please state your reasons for trust or otherwise on the assumption that this emergent entity exists.
I'd also be interested in your opinion of whether the entity outlined in the math is essentially separate from the people who created it?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 21 2013: Again agreed. However with one reserve: if brains are disrupted, the thinking still seems "normal" to the brain issuing it.
Did you heard about the miniRNA which appears some 2-300,000 years ago and make the difference between a monkey (ape) and a human being?
I got the report in French but maybe there is an English link.
I mention this because if a miniRNA into a gene can change drastically the brain system, we may face a new human in few centuries from now.
Feb 21 2013: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC403735/
Is this it?
Genetic encoding is not as trait-specific as people generally assume.
What genes do is to create systems - these systems will have varying degrees of interaction with environmental signals - much of this adaptive range is unknown because it codes for capacity - not specificity.
We can talk about FOXP2 as teh gene for language, but it will not produce language unless the envoronmental trigger for language also exists.
Humans and great apes diverged more than 500,000 years ago - this was the branch point of Neanderthal, who also had FOXP2 - as did Denisovan.
One very interesting thing:
The Blue Mountains funnelweb spider has toxin specific to 22 species of insect.
It is also toxic to humans and chimpanzees, but no other primate or mamal.
It is ranked as teh most toxic spider in the world and lives near my house.
We are careful - the males come into the house when looking for mates, and the male is far more toxic than the female.
Feb 21 2013: OK I think this is the one:
The CMP-sialic hydroxylase is mutated - this affects how cell wall sugars operate.
"Our group recently discovered a human-specific inactivating mutation in the CMP-sialic acid hydroxylase gene, which results in the loss of expression of a common mammalian cell-surface sugar throughout all cells in the human body" (Gagneux P, Varki A.)
I note that the full paper is on the other side of a pay-wall and therefore part of teh intellectual property market bubble.

"Sarah Jessica Parker is gonna be running Vogue.com," "Glee" co-creator and executive producer Ian Brennan told Access at Comic-Con in July.
According to Ian, Sarah's character will be one kooky character.
"That's sort of where we encounter this character, who's sort of frazzled, eccentric, hilarious," he added, at the time. "It's gonna be good."
"Glee's" Season 4 premieres on Thursday, September 13 at 9 PM on FOX.
