Jenson Button has called on the FIA to impose a flat super licence fee and stop charging drivers extra per point...
Jenson Button has called on the FIA to impose a flat super licence fee and stop charging drivers extra per point.
Last week motorsport's governing body announced that next season the entry fees for the teams will increase, which means the drivers can probably expect a hike as well.
However, at present all drivers pay a different amount as it is based on the number of points scored the previous season.
"Personally I don't feel that we should be paying different super licence fees for different drivers and different point situations," Button told ESPNF1.
"I mean, when you get your licence to drive on the road, because you do more miles you don't pay more for it, do you?
"And you don't pay more for a licence in any other category because you've got a better car or whatever, so it should be a flat fee."
Citing an example of how expensive it can get, Button revealed that the year after he was crowned the World Champion he paid more than €250,000.
"When I won the Championship in '09 that was the worst year to win a Championship because that's when the super licence went crazy and I think I spent over a quarter of a million Euros on my licence to race that year!"

"The screening room at my house in Parrot Cay is to die for," Donna Karan, right, with Grace Hightower, gushed at the Vanity Fair Tribeca Film Festival party. "Robert De Niro comes down, and we watch all of the Academy Award–nominated films. It has beds and also beanbag pillows. In Parrot Cay, if you can't sleep in it, I don't want to have it."

Designer Rachel Roy, whose brother, Rajendra, happens to be the chief curator of the film department at the Museum of Modern Art, mentioned Andrew Saffir's exclusive Cinema Society. "The room Andrew uses in the basement of the Tribeca Grand hotel is my screening room. I live close by."

"Screening room?" Gayle King, a late arrival, exclaimed as she rushed into the Vanity Fair party. "It's called Loew's Lincoln Square. I don't have one in my apartment in New York."

"My God, no," shot back Glee's Jane Lynch, pictured here with Chanel executive Christine Dagousset. Lynch, the emcee at the FiFi Awards, which took place at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, explained, "I have a tiny house. I actually watch a TV that is in a nice cabinet. I have it in the living room, but it swivels, so I can also use it in the dining room."

"Screening room? No," said actress Michelle Monaghan, also at the FiFi Awards. "It's called my bed."

As one might expect, Martha Stewart's screening room is a glorious thing: "It's a big, big room in my house in Maine," she said. "There are giant Belgian sofas and a big Chinese table in front with cushions on it so you can lie down. A large screen descends, and there is a projector. It's not a movie theater per se, but it's very good for watching TV."

Tyson Chandler, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year and the starting center on the gold-winning U.S. basketball team in London, said, "I'm in the process of building a man cave—I wanted it to be kind of dark, woodlike, like a barn. I would just like to feel at ease." (Trend alert: Ron Perelman's screening room at his Hamptons estate, the Creeks, is barnlike.)

"I used to have a really great one in L.A.," claimed Bourne producer Frank Marshall, right, with fellow producer Patrick Crowley. Marshall added, "It was designed by Charles Gwathmey—velour couches, a lot of cushions. You could get 30 to 40 people in there. But now we've moved and have a 3-D television, so we're into TV."

"In Malibu, at my in-laws', there is a full movie theater. I mean a real theater, popcorn and all," replied designer Stacey Bendet Eisner, who is married to Michael Eisner's son Eric. "It seats 40 or so people," she said. "And I've seen a lot of great movies there. I liked watching Shrek there."

"My screening room is really just a back bedroom that has a big TV in it," director Mike Nichols, left with his wife, Diane Sawyer, said after viewing Celeste and Jesse Forever. "It's in a beautiful house on Martha's Vineyard. We have an extra bedroom with a great big TV, and we call it the screening room."

"I love and revere the process of moviegoing," said Rashida Jones, who cowrote the screenplay for Celeste and Jesse Forever. "But more than I want to admit, I watch movies on my computer."

"We have a TV, and we've been streaming films from Netflix on it," said the designer Thakoon Panichgul, who hosted the Celeste and Jesse Forever screening, which benefited the International Rescue Committee. (He also dressed Rashida Jones that night.) "I don't like a big TV in my living room, but I usually watch a lot of movies at my country house in upstate New York," he said. "And we have a very long, oversized couch, for me and my dog."

At Bridgehampton Polo, AD spotted Francesca Beale, who donated the Francesca Beale Theater, designed by David Rockwell, to Lincoln Center. She said that at home, however, she simply watches films on a large television. And what does Beale appreciate about her eponymous theater at Lincoln Center? "It's very comfortable," she said. "State of the art, not crowded. It seats only 144, and there are very good visuals. They did a marvelous job."

With her eyes glued to the polo match, antiques dealer Nina Griscom, left with her husband, real-estate broker Leonel Piraino, balked at the question. "Are you out of your mind? No. But I've certainly been to a few, though I wouldn't say that they are ubiquitous."

At the Grey Goose-sponsored premiere of 2 Days in New York, Chris Rock, pictured here in between his costars Julie Delpy (left) and Alexia Landeau, said that he didn't really have a screening room. "It's just the TV room in my house," he said. "It's very comfortable for kids, and near the refrigerator."

"I have a screening room at home," Hollywood producer Steve Tisch, shown with actress Nicole Butler, admitted on the way into the New York premiere of his film Hope Springs. Tisch, whose house appeared in AD last June, added, "It's warm and very comfortable, with big seats. It's reminiscent of a 1940s movie theater. The house was built in 1928, and I bought it from Bernie Brillstein, who bought it from Michael Landon, who bought it from Bill Cosby."

Sir Howard Stringer, the chairman of the Sony Corporation of America, indicated that he had a small Sony projector, so his home screening room has just a dozen seats. "It's not a Hollywood projector, just a home projector," he explained. "And the seats are from a department store. It's intimate, as is my house."

Mimi Rogers, who plays the sexy neighbor in Hope Springs, answered, "I have a really nice 50-inch flat screen in our living room, which we never used until we put a gigantic TV in there. The flat-screen TV is way better than projecting the image."

President Obama promised in an interview with Spanish-language television network Univision on Sunday that he would pursue immigration reform in the first year of his second term if he wins reelection, striking a confident tone on an issue that could be a major focus come November.
"I can promise that I will try to do it in the first year of my second term. I want to try this year," he said on Univision's Al Punto, according to a transcript released by the network. Obama has promised immigration reform throughout his presidency, and these new statements echo his 2008 campaign promise that he would get reform passed within a year of entering the White House.
Though the interview touched on a range of topics, Obama was clearly in general election mode, touching on political issues whenever possible. Obama framed inaction on immigration reform as the fault of Republican obstructionists.
"The challenge we've got on immigration reform is very simple. I've got a majority of Democrats who are prepared to vote for it, and I've got no Republicans who are prepared to vote for it," he said.
In a Friday interview with another Spanish-language television network, Telemundo, Obama reiterated his attacks on Republicans.
"Somehow Republicans want to have it both ways, they want to vote against these laws and appeal to anti-immigrant sentiment when we have a nominee who said that Arizona laws, which allow those same kids with Latino surnames to potentially be picked up and asked for their papers, and then they come and say: 'But we really care about getting this issue resolved once and for all.' That looks like hypocrisy to me," he said, according to a transcript.

Rancid Tickets - A Power Rock-Punk Band Like No OtherTo be fair, punk music had their fair share of tremendous acts, and the genre wasn't in need of anything new. That didn't stop one outfit in 1991 from creating their own group. San Francisco members guitarist and vocalist Tim Armstrong and bass guitarist Matt Freeman joined together with drummer Brett Reed to form the group Rancid under the label Lookout! Records in 1992.
Rancid Tickets - The Music of RancidThey later joined up with Epitaph Records to release an eponymously titled full-length album in 1993 and also signed up a second guitarist to join the fray: Lars Frederiksen. 1995 saw the release of the second album, entitled ...And Out Come the Wolves, featuring the radio and MTV hit 'Ruby Soho.' Other such hits were 'Time Bomb' and 'Roots Radical.' In 1998, Rancid came back with yet another album titled Life Won't Wait, plus a self-titled follow-up in 2000. 2003 also saw another album called Indestructible, and for sure the band was on their way to major stardom.
Rancid Tickets - The Sound and Style of RancidTheir name had no similarity to their sound and style. But their personalities echoed that wild nature of punk. Traditionally, though, Rancid was a ska band, heavy on the instrumentals but with the energy of Sum 41. That was definitely part of their charm.

Medford, Ore. -- A new report out of the National Low Income Housing Coalition called Out of Reach, found that Oregonians would have to make more than $16 an hour to be able to afford a two-bedroom unit paying HUD's (Housing and Urban Development) estimated Fair Market Rent.
Californians would have to make just over $26. In addition, the report said minimum wage workers in California would have to work 130-hours per week in order to afford renting a two-bedroom unit. In Oregon, minimum wage earners would have to work 72-hours per week.
The struggle is very real for White City resident Ramona Kenton who is a regular in the Jackson County Housing Authority's lobby. She has a husband and three daughters and for her, she said it's been hard to get by.
"We pay electricity, we pay gas, we pay water and sewer so you got take into account all that on top of an average 3-bedroom home is at least $950 a month," said Kenton.
Even though she makes more than minimum wage, she said every month is a close call.
"Any income I have, it's all toward rent and utilities there's nothing left," she explained.
She's not alone. According to the annual Out of Reach report, one out of four renter households is an extremely low income household.
"The report tells us what we've known for a long time," said Cara Carter, Director of Housing Programs at the Jackson County Housing Authority.
The Housing Authority helps people in need find low income housing.
According to HUD the fair price to pay for a 2-bedroom rental in Oregon is $846.
Carter said the average in Jackson County is slightly lower, at around $822 a month.
"So a family would have to make upwards of $13-$14 an hour just to barely pay that rent," Carter said.
She said some families are trying to cope with increased housing costs and stagnant wages by moving in with other families to share housing expenses. Many families strapped for money are also forgoing things like cable, phones and transportation.
In addition, Carter said there's been a steady increase over the past few years of more people needing help.
"Our lobby is never quiet," she said.
While staff at the Jackson County Housing Authority try to help as many people as possible, Carter said there's just too much need.
"Whenever we do help somebody, three other people come in behind them and need help too," Carter explained.
However, people like Ramona Kenton are grateful for the assistance as she works to pay bills and keep a roof over her family's heads.
"It's stressful, it really take a toll on a family, it really does," said Kenton.

The Chicago father and 6-month old baby shot earlier this week in an incident the city's police chief said was likely gang-related does not have an affiliation with any of Chicago's street gangs, according to a family spokesman.
Jonathan Watkins, 29, was shot several times, as was his baby Jonylah, in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood Monday afternoon. Baby Jonylah, who was shot five times in the incident, died Tuesday at a Chicago hospital. Watkins is still hospitalized, and is stabilizing, both his sister-in-law and Pastor Corey Brooks confirmed to ABCNews.com.
Brooks said that Watkins is not affiliated with any of Chicago's four major street gangs, and has not had any trouble with the law since 2007.
"A lot of people are saying it was gang related," Brooks said. "That's not true from our stand point. Jonathan was not in a gang. We don't know whether the shooter was, but [Watkins] was not in a gang."
At a press conference Tuesday hours after Baby Jonylah's death, Chicago Police Chief Garry McCarthy told reporters that Watkins is a gang member who has a lengthy criminal record, including a three-year prison sentence on a weapons charge.
"It's important that we make it clear that this was not a random case, this was obviously targeted," McCarthy said Tuesday.
Speaking with ABCNews.com today, Chicago police said they are not retracting any of McCarthy's statements on Watkins or the shooting.
Watkins was changing Baby Jonylah's diaper in a car at 12:48 p.m. Monday when a gunman approached and fired at the pair. Police are investigating, but said they do not have a solid witness.
According to Comer Children's Hospital spokesman John Easton it was one gunshot wound that caused Jonylah's fatal injuries.
"There was one in the shoulder that passed all the way through, and the final exit wound was in the leg," he told ABCNews.com. "This was the one that mattered."
Jonylah's 20-year-old mother was at her job as a cashier at McDonald's at the time of the shooting, according to her sister, Tiffany Young. Young said the couple has been together for four years.
"She's trying to stay strong, but she can't believe that her baby's gone," Young told ABCNews.com. "I just want whoever did this to turn himself in."
Brooks said that the young couple, who wed in February, was attempting to be "different."
"They were making sure that their family gets all the right things that a young family is supposed to," he said. "They were working to make sure their family is different. That's why they got married. They were trying to do all of the right things … In a neighborhood where a lot of young men are making babies and not taking care of them, he chose to be different."
Brooks said that the New Beginnings Church, located five blocks from where a memorial for Jonylah has been set up, has already raised an $11,000 reward for information leading to the capture of her killer. He said that gang violence in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is taking a turn for the worse.
"There's a lot of that in our neighborhood. That's what is driving a lot of what's going on, driving a lot of the violence," he said.
Chicago has recorded more than 500 homicides last year for the first time since 2008. McCarthy said Tuesday that Chicago's Third District has one of the city's highest crime rates, and that the force had a strong deployment in the area following Monday's shooting.

Hong Kong Ramen – let's resuscitate this old topic
Have been dreaming back to my days in NYC where Momofuku was a 10min walk from home. Yes, the hype is deafening to the point of not wanting to go, but it was so consistently good. Someone who puts that much care into a glorified bowl of noodle soup deserves a little attention.
I've read his recipe and there are a lot of pieces to it: two styles of pork, tare, the broth, onsen egg, pickled veges, etc. The first issue of Lucky Peach is dedicated to ramen and with so many great practitioners it seems there's little room in the world for ordinary ramen, let alone bad ramen.
I've made the momofuku pork buns (perfect!), onsen eggs (perfect!), pork belly (perfect!), various pickles (perfect!), chicken wing confit (good) with tare (too salty!) so before I try my hand at his ramen, I thought I'd start walking my way through the best of ramen in HK for inspiration. It's a gloomy Monday and I'm working in ICC so decide to pop down to Elements mall to give IPPEI-AN RAMEN & BAR another go. My assessment in short: for someone wanting a quick unoffensive lunch, it was ordinary. For someone seeking out good ramen, it was disappointing. Not worth even talking about this place on Chowhound except as a springboard to reach out to ramen aficionados for better options.
I see this "Top 5" list by Asia Tatler Dining. Is it accurate? Have they just chosen the fancy places (ie. high rent, expensive decor) with celebrity chef?
For what it's worth, here is my assessment of Ippei-an Ramen. Check out the difference between the menu photo and what I was given. Ha!
Higomonzu Ramen $75 (supposedly their best on offer
)Asahi Draft $50 (was necessary)
The egg was hard boiled (what a shame - so much nicer with soft yolk). It looked smoked or tea/soy soaked on outside (ie. little brown) but tasted absolutely plain.
The cabbage tossed on top was plain/raw, so much nicer if quick pickled.
Broth was milky looking and not overly salty at first. I suspect it's a prok and chicken stock blend (quite valid) but to me the chicken flavour predominated. Not sure I could taste any tare in the background.
The stewed pork was a total let-down. Look at the menu picture, it's lovely grilled to golden brown. Mine was grey, slippery and ultra-mild taste, reminded me of the left-over anaemic pork from making stock.
Sliced pork was fine. Noodles were springy and holding their bight. By the end of the bowl, however, the whole meal was feeling too salty. I didn't use the condiments (red pepper/nori/sesame powder, pickled garlic w crusher).
It's funny how this Timeout writer had such a different experience a couple of years ago:
But those on Openrice weren't so kind:
Anyway, enough crappy ramen. Where's the good stuff? Mist? Ippudo?
Was in Central on weekend so popped into Hide-Chan Ramen in Wellington St.
The pics show presentation not really eye-popping, but this was intensely flavoured ramen.
One of the secrets to ramen is to somehow infused the fat back into the broth (opposite to Western-style soup where you skim the fat). This particular broth, of the Hakata Original Ramen, was so thick and rich and a perfect way to see this method at work. In fact, part way through eating I could clearly see a layer of oily fat emerging on the surface. This was not particularly offensive and probably unavoidable for this style of broth.
I liked the ability to choose noodle texture (I went for medium) and they were perfect. There was no egg on top but not particularly missed with this style. I chose the pork neck which has a grained texture whereas my companion went for the port shoulder.
I've also included a pic of the gyoza which was quite nice - not overfilled and slightly firm to the bight.
I'd probably return to Hide-Chan however it was not a light snack. You have to be prepared for a heavy and rich meal. I think next stop will be Ippudo in TST for comparison.
re: p0lst3r
I've tried Hide-Chan, Ippudo, Santouka, and Mist. Out of those, I'd say Hide-Chan has the richest broth and best overall bowl, though the egg was disappointing. Santouka is also quite good overall. When I was in Tokyo, I loved Ippudo, but found that the Hong Kong Ippudo does not taste the same-- compared to Tokyo's, the broth was bland and the egg flavorless. Mist was just ok.
Still waiting for some great ramen in HK!
re: chinkyeeboy
The pork cheek ramen at Santouka in iSquare is pretty awesome although maybe not quite as good as the version I had at their Japanese branch in Kyoto. It's close though!
Butao King is supposed to be where it's at with regard to ramen in HK these days but I've never been able to arrive before a hundred other were queuing up before me so it still eludes me :-(

From Mental Illness to Spiritual Wisdom: A Father-Daughter Odyssey
For 10 years, Barb and Tom Zanzig have been living with the effects of mental illness, she as a young adult with bipolar disorder and he as her father.
In March 2006, they decided to speak out publicly for the first time, not only about the devastating impact of mental illness, but also about the spiritual lessons that each of them learned in the midst of it all.
They shared their stories in a very personal presentation at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress in Anaheim, CA. The event is the largest of its kind, perhaps in the world, each year attracting over 20,000 Catholic educators and pastoral leaders.
About the Zanzigs:
Tom Zanzig is a writer, editor, and publisher of religious education and faith formation resources, primarily directed to Roman Catholics. For some 30 years he created resources for adolescents. In recent years his energies have focused on adult spirituality and faith formation. The father of two adult children, Tom lives in Madison, WI with his wife, Peg.
Barb Zanzig is 31 years old and a makeup artist with MAC Cosmetics in Madison, WI. She was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder in her early twenties. During the last decade she has experienced many of the all too familiar effects of that disease, as well as several traumatic life-altering events. She has finally begun to enjoy some stability in her life, but understands only too well how fragile stability can be.
Some 400 people attended their workshop, titled "From Mental Illness to Spiritual Wisdom: A Father-Daughter Odyssey." Their goal was to share the particular spiritual insights they have gained through Barb's bipolar condition.
Much of Barb's portion of the presentation was drawn from the journals she has kept for years. For his part, Tom offered theological and spiritual insights that emerged for him as he struggled to parent Barb.
They hope that their story might help others who struggle to grow spiritually despite, or perhaps because of, mental illness.
"Over the last 10 years we have been very conscious of this illness and its impact, and we have been living the story that is bipolar disorder, both from her point of view as the person suffering from it, and I as her father," said Tom Zanzig in the presentation. "In the midst of all that, we have learned what we believe to be profoundly important spiritual lessons."
"We are not naïve -- we've gone through too much to be naïve," Tom was quick to add. "We're not offering any kind of pie in the sky spirituality. Jesus loves me, I believe. But that is not enough. It's not that simple. It's a difficult journey we've been on."
"Even with faith, and with deep spirituality, mental illness can kill people," said Tom. "We are not offering any kind of answer to this. We're offering a way that we have found to try to move through it, at least at this point in our lives."
For Barb, that means having a new understanding that just because someone is suffering does not mean that God is absent. To the contrary, she said "I've learned that in the midst of wrenching pain and loneliness, God can seem most present."
Said Barb,"God does not fix us, but gives us strength by suffering with us."

Good food in Stockholm
Any suggestions? I'll be there in November.
Three personal favorites are Djuret, Bon Bon and Pubologi. On my short list of places to visit are Rolfs Kök, Svartengrens, AG and Mistral.
(djuret.se www.restaurangbonbon.se pubologi.se svartengrens.se mistral.nu
)If you're looking for the best Stockholm has to offer, price no consideration, Mattias Dahlgren or Frantzén/Lindeberg.
Haven't been there yet -- on the way next week.
But Pelikan seems to be a good bet for classic Swedish pub food that won't break the bank.
Anthony Bourdain visited there and the more refined Lux for his show a few years back.
I bookmarked a blog post a year ago from a Stockholm weekend trip made by one of the DosHermanos London bloggers (july 2010). He visited several restaurants, among them Pelikan, Matbaren, and Lisa Elmquist. Good pictures.
(search in the blog for Stockholm if that post isn't immediately shown at the link)
re: racer x
I ate at Pelikan. Wasn't all that impressed.
Had the crayfish toast with lavaret roe (good), and the meatballs with (a very sweet) cream sauce, gherkins, and lingonberries (just ok). Expensive for what it was -- definitely a venue for the tourists.
However, I will say that that was the first preparation of lingonberries I've ever had that I actually liked.
Perhaps one might enjoy a visit to Pelikan more with an order of one of their many wines, beers, or spirits.
Be sure to try the pastries while in Stockholm. Many good choices!
One of the signatures of their pastries is the liberal use of cardamom. I've never tasted so much cardamom before, even with South Asian dishes.
Something else I was struck by was how light their princess cakes were. The princess cakes I've had elsewhere, particularly back in the US, have tended to use a much denser cream filling and thicker slices of cake. The princess cakes I had in Stockholm were all very, very light. With just a few bites, they were gone.
These were from Tösse. The tart on the right is eaten with a very sweet and delicious cream.
Not sure where I got these, might even have been a convenience store, as pastries like these can be found just about anywhere. Very cardamom-rich.

Centum–satem isogloss
|This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (March 2015)
The centum–satem division was a proposed isogloss of the Indo-European language family, related to the different evolution of the three dorsal consonant rows of the mainstream reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (PIE):[1]
|merged in satem languages
|merged in centum languages
|(plain velars)
However, the diachronic relevance of the supposed "satemization" in the eastern language branches has been largely dismissed in recent years, for example with the discovery of Tocharian, the most eastward Indo-European language, to be a "centum" language; it is now believed that each branch became centum or satem independently.[2]
Although the division is thus no longer considered a real isogloss, the terms remain useful in synchronic descriptions.[2]
- 1 Terminology
- 2 Proto-Indo-European dorsals
- 3 Historical interpretation of the sound changes
- 4 See also
- 5 References
- 6 Literature
- 7 External links
The terms Centum versus Satem are derived from the words for the number "one hundred" in a traditional representative language of each group: Latin centum and Avestan satəm (𐬯𐬀𐬙𐬆𐬨).
The centum group includes Italic, Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic and Tocharian. This group merged Proto-Indo-European palatovelars and plain velars yielding plain velars only, but retain the labiovelars as a distinct set.[1] Tocharian largely reflects a situation where all three Proto-Indo-European dorsal series as well as all voicing/aspiration distinctions (originally constituting nine separate consonants) have merged into a single phoneme *k. This has led some writers to suggest that Tocharian does not fit the Centum–Satem model.[3] However, some Proto-Indo-European labiovelars are in fact represented by a labiovelar-like element or by a non-original sequence *ku. Along with other evidence, this suggests that labiovelars were distinct in Proto-Tocharian and only later merged with velars (as happened independently in Old Irish and to some extent in some other languages), making Tocharian a clearly Centum language.[4]
The satem languages (which have the sibilant where centum equivalents have the velar) include Albanian, Balto-Slavic, Armenian and Indo-Iranian. This group lost the labial element of Proto-Indo-European labiovelars and thus merged them with plain velars, while the palatovelars remain distinct.[5] Balto-Slavic is largely satem but evidences centum development in some words, suggesting that "satemization" was incomplete. There is residual evidence of various sorts in satem languages of a former distinction between velar and labiovelar consonants.[citation needed]
Recent evidence from Luwian indicates that all three dorsal consonant rows were maintained separately in Proto-Anatolian,[6] and the Centumization observed in Hittite occurred only after the breakup of Common Anatolian.[7]
The isogloss only applies to the parent language with the full inventory of dorsals. Later sound changes within a specific branch of Indo-European that are analogous to one of the centum or satem changes, such as the palatalization of Latin /k/ to /s/ in some Romance languages, or the merger of *kʷ with *k in the Goidelic languages, are excluded.

History of the concept[edit]
Schleicher's single guttural row[edit]
August Schleicher, an early Indo-Europeanist, in Part I, "Phonology", of his major work, the 1871 "Compendium of Comparative Grammar of the Indogermanic Language", published a table of original momentane Laute, or "stops", that has only a single velar row, *k, *g, *gʰ, under the name of Gutturalen.[8][9] He does identify four palatals (*ḱ, *ǵ, *ḱʰ, *ǵʰ) but hypothesizes that they came from the gutturals along with the nasal ń and the spirant ç.[10]
Brugmann's labialized and unlabialized language groups[edit]
Karl Brugmann in his 1886 equivalent work, "Outline of Comparative Grammar of the Indogermanic Language," promotes the palatals to the original language, recognizing two rows of Explosivae, or "stops", the palatal (*ḱ, *ǵ, *ḱʰ, *ǵʰ) and the velar (*k, *g, *kʰ, *gʰ),[11] each of which was simplified to three articulations even in the same work.[12] In that same work Brugmann notices among die velaren Verschlusslaute, "the velar stops", a major contrast between reflexes of the same words in different daughter languages: in some the velar is marked with a u-Sprache, "u-articulation," which he terms a Labialisierung, "labialization," in accordance with the prevailing theory that the labiovelars were velars labialized by combination with a u at some later time and not among the original consonants. He divides languages therefore into die Sprachgruppe mit Labialisierung[13] and die Sprachgruppe ohne Labialisierung, "the language group with (or without) labialization," which are perforce identical to the Centum and Satem groups. He opines that[14]
"For words and groups of words, which do not appear in any language with labialized velar-sound [the "pure velars"], it must for the present be left undecided whether they ever had the u-afterclap."
The doubt introduced in this passage suggests he already suspected the "afterclap" u was not that but was part of an original sound.
Von Bradke's centum and satem groups[edit]
In 1890 Peter von Bradke published "Concerning Method and Conclusions of Aryan (Indogermanic) Studies" in which he saw the same division (Trennung) as did Brugmann but he defined it in a different way. He said that the original Aryans knew two kinds of gutturaler Laute, or "guttural sounds," the gutturale oder velare, und die palatale Reihe, "guttural or velar and palatal rows," each of which were aspirated and unaspirated. The velars were to be viewed as gutturals in an engerer Sinn, "narrow sense." They were a reiner K-Laut, "pure K-sound." Palatals were häufig mit nachfolgender Labialisierung, "frequently with subsequent Labialization." This latter distinction led him to divide the palatale Reihe into a Gruppe als Spirant and a reiner K-Laut, typified by the words satem and centum respectively.[15] Later in the book[16] he speaks of an original centum-Gruppe from which on the north of the Black and Caspian Seas the satem-Stämmen dissimilated among the Nomadenvölker, or Steppenvölker, located there by further palatalization of the palatal gutturals.
Brugmann's identification of labialized and centum[edit]
By the 1897 edition of Grundriss, Brugmann (and Delbrück) had adopted Von Bradke's view. He says[17]
"Die Palatallaute der idg. Urzeit ... erscheinen in Griech, Ital., Kelt., Germ. in der Regel als K-Laute, dagegen im Ar., Arm., Alb., Balt-Slav., denen sich Phrygisch und Thrakisch ... meistens als Zischlaute."
[The Proto-Indo-European palatals appear in Greek, Italic, Celtic and Germanic as a rule as K-sounds, as opposed to in Aryan, Armenian, Albanian, Balto-Slavic, Phrygian and Thracian for the most part sibilants.]
Concerning the labialized velars Brugmann had changed his mind, and there was no more mention of labialized and non-labialized language groups. The labio-velars now appeared under that name as one row of the 5-row Verschlusslaute (Explosivae) containing die labialen V., die dentalen V., die palatalen V., die reinvelaren V. and die labiovelaren V. It was Brugmann who pointed out that labiovelars had merged into the velars in the Satem Group,[18] accounting for the coincidence of the discarded non-labialized group with the Satem Group.
The Satem concept[edit]
The Satem languages show characteristic affricate and fricative consonants articulated in the front of the mouth in inherited Indo-European lexical items. The Satem shift is conveniently illustrated with the word for '100', Proto-Indo-European *(d)ḱm̥tóm, which became Avestan satəm (hence the name of the group), Persian sad, Sanskrit śatam, Latvian simts, Lithuanian šimtas, Old Church Slavonic sъto. Another example is the Slavic prefix sъ(n)- ("with"), which appears in Latin, a centum language, as co(n)-; conjoin is cognate with Russian soyuz ("union").
The sources of the satem sounds and the methods by which they became what they are have been debated heavily by Indo-European linguists for many decades. The originator of the concept, Peter von Bradke, believed in a Proto-Indo-European two-row system of four gutturals each row, the pure velar row: *k, *kʰ, *g, *gʰ, and the palatovelar row: *ḱ, *ḱʰ, *ǵ, *ǵʰ. For example, *ḱ became Sanskrit ś [ɕ], Latvian, Avestan, Russian and Armenian s, Lithuanian š [ʃ], and Albanian th [θ] (but k before a resonant). Karl Brugmann added the labio-velar row: *kʷ, *kʷʰ, *gʷ, *gʷʰ, with the proviso that in the Satem languages it merged into the velar row, losing their accompanying lip-rounding. This merger left the Satem group without labio-velars. Regardless of whether satem words were created from those rows with those articulations in that way, they are definable as satem words.
Satem-like features have arisen multiple times during history (e.g. French cent pron. [sã], Spanish ciento). As a result, it is sometimes difficult to firmly establish which languages were part of the original Satem diffusion and which were affected by secondary assibilation in a later time period. While extensive documentation of Latin and Old Swedish shows that the assibilation found in French and Swedish were later developments, there are not enough records of Dacian and Thracian to conclusively settle the issue of when their Satem-like features originated. Extensive lexical borrowing, such as Armenian from Iranian, may also add to the difficulty. The status of Armenian as a Satem language as opposed to a Centum language with secondary assibilation rests on the evidence of a very few words.
The Centum concept[edit]
The Centum languages show characteristic plain velars and labiovelars articulated at the back of the mouth in inherited Indo-European lexical items. The name Centum comes from the Latin word centum (pronounced [kentum]) < PIE *ḱm̥tóm, '100', English hund(red)- (with /h/ from earlier *k, see Grimm's law), Greek (he)katon, Welsh cant, Tocharian B kante. Labiovelars as single phonemes (for example, /kʷ/), as opposed to biphonemes (for example, /kw/) are attested in Greek (the Linear B q- series), Italic (Latin qu), Germanic (Gothic hwair ƕ and qairþra q) and Celtic (Ogham ceirt Q). In the Centum languages, the palatovelar consonants merged into the plain velars (*k, *g, *gʰ). The merger left the Centum group without palatovelars.
The Centum languages preserve Proto-Indo-European labiovelars (*kʷ, *gʷ, *gʷʰ) or their historical reflexes as distinct from plain velars; for example, PIE *k : *kʷ > Latin c /k/ : qu /kʷ/, Greek κ /k/ : π /p/ (or τ /t/ before front vowels), Gothic h /h/ : ƕ /hʷ/, etc. Remnants of labial elements from labiovelars in Balto-Slavic include Lithuanian ungurys "eel" < *angʷi- , Lithuanian dygus "pointy" < *dʰeigʷ-. Fewer examples of incomplete Satemization are also known from Indo-Iranian, such as Sanskrit guru "heavy" < *gʷer-, kulam "herd" < *kʷel-; kuru "make" < *kʷer- may be compared, but they arise only post-Rigvedic in attested texts.
Historical interpretation of the sound changes[edit]
When von Bradke first published his definition of the Centum and Satem sound changes, he viewed his classification as "the oldest perceivable division" in Indo-European, which he elucidated as "a division between eastern and western cultural provinces (Kulturkreise)."[19] This proposed split was undermined by the discoveries of Hittite and Tocharian, which were Centum languages located within the hypothetical Satem range, Tocharian isolated on the Silk Route in the far east, divided from its closest cognates in Europe by thousands of miles of rugged terrain and hostile peoples.[20] This proposed first division based on a single isogloss was further weakened by continued research into additional Indo-European isoglosses, many of which seemed of equal or greater importance in the development of daughter languages. Philip Baldi explains:
"...an early dialect split of the type indicated by the centum-satem contrast should be expected to be reflected in other high-order dialect distinctions as well, a pattern which is not evident from an analysis of shared features among eastern and western languages."[21]
To this claim one could oppose the example of Old High German and Old Saxon, which, although separated by a drastic consonant shift, stayed almost identical in grammar and syntax for several centuries.
The Centum–Satem isogloss is now understood to be a chronological development of Proto-Indo-European. Centumization removed the palatovelars from the language, leaving none to satemize. In addition there is residual evidence of various sorts in satem languages of a former distinction between velar and labiovelar consonants, indicating the earlier centum state. It is therefore clear that centumization was followed[clarification needed] by satemization.[citation needed] However the evidence of Anatolian indicates that centum was not the original state of Proto-Indo-European.[7]
Alternative views[edit]
The presence of three dorsal rows in the proto-language is the mainstream hypothesis. In another hypothesis by Antoine Meillet the original rows were the labiovelars and palatovelars, with the pure velars being allophones of the palatovelars in some cases, such as depalatalization before a resonant.[22] Other possibilities are borrowing between early daughter languages during the process of Satemization, or perhaps the concept of original velars is an artifact based on just plain false etymologies in modern times. Oswald Szemerényi proposed that the "preconsonantal palatals probably owe their origin, at least in part, to a lost palatal vowel;" that is, a velar was palatalized by a following vowel subsequently lost.[23] The palatal row therefore post-dated the original velar and labiovelar but Szemerényi does not give times. He includes the palatals in a table of five rows of stops "shortly before the break-up" with a question mark after them. Other scholars who assume two dorsal rows in Proto-Indo-European include Kuryłowicz (1935), Meillet (1937), Lehmann (1952), and Woodhouse (1998).

How To Effectively Pack Your Belongings
Moving can be stressful, whether it is you who is moving, or you have your whole family including the pets to take with you. Among the most vital things to do that will ensure that everything runs smoother, is to be certain that all your property is packed securely and safely.
A moving company, like Christos and Christos in Tampa Bay, possesses vast experience as far as moving belongings from a home is concerned. The following tips are essential on how you should pack your belongings safely from the perspective of a moving company.
Plan ahead
Before making that move and deciding what should be packed where, you should list all the packing materials you will be using. Get them before you begin packing.
Wrap up your belongings
An item that you are going to need is bubble wrap. It's strong and you may purchase it in bulk. It's useful for those fragile items like vases and photo frames. Crush paper is another item that is perfect for packing small items like utensils.
Invest in cardboards
Brand new cardboard boxes are other items you are going to require. A number of people assume that the box which stored the television four years ago and has been sitting idle will do. However, you should purchase new boxes. They are sturdier, and hold more weight with lesser chance of splitting.
Think about the weight
Ensure that you pack sensibly. It may be simple to just throw your belongings mindlessly in boxes, particularly when you have not been doing so for a few days, and your mind is centered on your new property. Make sure that heavy items are packed at the bottom and ensure also to evenly distribute the weight.
Try to not pile all your kitchen appliances in a single huge box as there are chances that the box will not be able to hold the weight. This may not only result in injury when taking it to the vehicle but can also lead to the box coming apart and all your items landing in a broken heap.
Label your boxes
This might sound a bit silly, but is quite important. Yes, you are going to label your boxes. It's important step which might be missed easily because of the hubbub of getting all your property ready so that you can move. Not only does labeling each box means that you are able to keep track of what you have managed to pack, it also means that when you are lifting the box, you are knowledgeable about its weight and whether the items are fragile or not.
The above are some important tips to safely pack your belongings for moving day. They will definitely ensure that all goes well with your big move. But it's recommended that you get the services of professional moving company to make sure that your belongings are safely transported. The moving companies have experienced employees that are professional and well-trained and will ensure that your personal belongings are well secured.

Definitely Hard Working
Mandarin Coriander Hard Working Hand Cream is just that... hard working! On top of that it has a wonderful scent. I gave my son a tube of it when he came home to Wisconsin from California for a visit, and he said, "It's what saved my hands this winter." Love the product!
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Hand cream par excellence
I've never used a Thyme product I didn't really like. Here's my only problem: It's too pricey for my sensibilities. I have to wait for it to come to me as a gift to really enjoy it. Perhaps Thyme might consider a line of more affordable products tucked in there somewhere. Maybe it's just me...
Bought for a gift
I haven't tried this particular item, as I bought it as an "emergency" gift to have on hand for Christmas, based on the scent, my second favorite Thymes fragrance.
Forget hands, this is the best foot lotion!
I was ecstatic when I saw this product back in the rotation -- it is by far the best lotion for FEET that I have ever used! I wish it came in bigger sizes, as I go through a lot during the winter.
a hand saver
I love everything about this hand lotion! It is the perfect combination of a remarkable moisturizer and an energizing scent.
I look forward to putting it on my hands after a day in my yard. I sent this lotion to my best friend in northern Vermont. She has a large property with many flower beds and she is thrilled with this hard working hand cream as well. Thank you!

New cameras are going up to monitor traffic conditions on state roads in St. Mary's County, at its busiest intersection and at two spots prone to flooding.
The cameras have been erected on their own poles at Route 5 and Newtowne Neck Road in Leonardtown and at Route 5 and Great Mills Road in Great Mills, which in the past have been flooded by the McIntosh Run and the St. Mary's River during storms.
The other two cameras will be installed at the Route 235 and Route 4 intersection in California to monitor traffic conditions as workers from Patuxent River Naval Air Station try to make their to and from the Gov. Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge to Calvert County. The intersection sees almost 59,000 vehicles a day on average, according to the state.
The St. Mary's County Department of Emergency Services and Technology used a $86,000 grant last year to buy the cameras and poles.
Initially, the department planned to install the cameras on existing traffic signal poles, but the Maryland State Highway Administration preferred them to go on their own poles, which delayed the project.
The Maryland State Highway Administration is going to maintain the cameras purchased by the county, said Bob Kelly, director of the St. Mary's Department of Emergency Services and Technology. "We'll be able to access them" remotely.
Before the county bought the cameras, "we generally had to send people out to see how high is the water," Kelly said, when the roads flooded. Now there will be markers added next to the roadways so emergency staff can see how high the water is using the cameras.
The public will also be able to connect to the cameras through the CHART system (Coordinated Highways Action Response Team) on the SHA's website.
There are seven cameras in the system now in Southern Maryland, said Kellie Boulware of the office of communications for SHA. There is a camera at Route 4 and the base of the Thomas Johnson bridge on the St. Mary's County side, one at the intersection of Route 5 and Route 301 in Waldorf and five at the Gov. Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River in Charles County.
The two new cameras in Leonardtown and Great Mills still need to be connected to electricity and then into the CHART system, which should take "a couple more weeks," Kelly said, then the other two cameras in California are to follow.
One camera at Route 235 and Route 4 will watch southbound traffic on Three Notch Road, and the other will monitor the flow on Route 4 toward the Thomas Johnson bridge, Kelly said.
The existing cameras in the CHART system can be viewed online at www.chart.state.md.us/TravInfo/trafficcams.php.

The athlete concentrates on putting every available advantage to work for a faster time, a better score, a winning edge. Not surprisingly, performance on the playing field goes far beyond the athlete. The design of sports equipment is big business. While nothing takes the place of proper training and conditioning, elite competitors depend on the smallest refinements in equipment to help make a difference in their performance.
ANSYS works with organizations in the sports equipment industry to improve the design and the performance of everything from balls and racquets to skis and bicycles to swimsuits and canoes. Engineering simulation provides a virtual prototyping environment in which a designer can cost-effectively test the performance of equipment under various conditions.
With an unparalleled breadth of solutions spanning multiple simulation technologies, ANSYS makes it possible to reproduce the complex structural behavior of a given piece of equipment and to consider how it will interact with its surrounding environment, whether it is air or water, hot or cold, natural surface or man-made. Engineering simulation tools can be used to address aerodynamic and hydrodynamic improvements as well as robustness improvement and fatigue resistance.
For example, ball sports, such as soccer, golf and basketball, involve consideration of materials used, the type of playing field and the conditions of the playing area. The combination of these elements requires an accurate reproduction of conditions. Creating the same conditions for hundreds of tests is nearly impossible with physical testing. ANSYS prototyping software allows designers to create the same event as many times as needed to get a fair comparison of performance and obtain an in-depth understanding of how the ball will perform in all sorts of circumstances.
More complex sports equipment, such as skis, snowboards, bicycles and climbing equipment, involves a wide variety of parameters, including the shape and size of athlete using it. Simulation software allows design engineers to investigate and understand the complex interactions between the athlete and his equipment. The concept, geometry, material, and manufacturing processes can be adjusted so that, ultimately, the best and most reliable equipment can be manufactured.
Athletic performance can be analyzed to determine ways in which equipment can be modified and upgraded to improve future performance. ANSYS software can help engineers tweak designs quickly, so that new products can be brought to market more quickly and efficiently.
Engineering simulation solutions from ANSYS have been chosen by winning teams in the last few Olympics in categories such as bobsled, sailing, skiing, rowing and swimming. The unequalled technical depth within each engineering simulation — fluid flow, structural analysis, thermal behavior and electromagnetics — means ANSYS is able to offer best-in-class solutions to sports equipment manufacturers who do not want to compromise performance for cost.

Klamath Falls, Ore. -- SWAT teams seize guns and drugs during an early morning raid at a Klamath Falls home.
The early morning raid on Gary Street woke up neighbor Kimberly Hamlin...
"I got woke up at four in the morning to what sounded like shotguns going off - 'boom boom boom' all over the neighborhood. Loudspeakers tell you, 'Come out, we have guns' - and the street just lined up."
Trooper Scott Sheldon of the Oregon State Police says the warrant was served at the home of 31 year old Colton Destry Rich...
"When SWAT arrived, Mr. Rich barricaded himself in his residence, and possibly destroyed some evidence."
That standoff lasted a little over an hour.
Police say Rich tried to dig a hole in the floor of his mobile home to escape...police then fired gas into the home.
"I saw them bring Colton out - he looked hurt." Says Kimberly Hamlin. "And then after that, they went in with masks."
Police say they found 23 guns inside, at least 5 of them were stolen.
Officers also seized methamphetamine, marijuana, and a suspected stolen motorcycle.
Rich faces multiple drug and theft charges...no additional arrests are expected at this time.
State Police say the raid and warrant service were triggered by citizen complaints about possible drug trafficking in the area.
