Detroit Borrows $100 Million for Police and Fire Headquarters
Detroit, whose population has dropped by half since 1950, borrowed $100 million to turn the MGM Grand Casino's former site into a headquarters for the police, fire and emergency-services departments.
The city sold so-called Recovery Zone Bonds authorized under the U.S. economic-stimulus plan, borrowing at 4.55 percent, the city said in a press release today. The bonds, with the longest term maturing in 2035, were sold through the Michigan Finance Authority by investment banks led by Siebert Brandford Shank & Co., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The financial markets believe in what we're doing to bring fiscal responsibility back to Detroit," said Mayor Dave Bing, in a prepared statement today.
So-called recovery zone bonds were included in the economic-stimulus package signed by President Barack Obama last year to help expand the economy of areas with poverty and unemployment. They're a type of Build America Bond that comes with a 45 percent interest subsidy rather than 35 percent rate under the Build America program, which expires Dec. 31.
The bonds were rated A1, or fifth highest, by Moody's Investor's Service and AA-, or fourth highest, by Standard & Poor's.
Detroit's population has declined by 50 percent to 910,000 since 1950, according to U.S. Census figures cited in the official statement for the bonds.

State Health Officer Don Williamson said Thursday night a

further testing.
Williamson said the woman was treated at a Montgomery hospital
and is recovering at home. He says the woman has not traveled
recently to Mexico or other locations.
Two earlier cases of swine flu were reported in Madison County.
Two 6-year-old kindergarten students at Heritage Elementary School

I have a iPhone app I submitted a week ago and all was fine and dandy. Worked like a charm on my phone and my brothers.
However it wasn't till today when I tested it on some of my family's phones when it went haywire. They couldn't do anything and it crashed right after logging in. I even put the version they had on my phone and it worked fine, even with their account. Could this be something to do with the provisioning profile? Different firmwares crashed at different times, if that helps at all.
I am kinda leary because I submitted it to apple with the distribution profile about a week ago. Do you think they are going to have the same issues with crashing? Or does the distribution profile fix my issue?
Just curious because this is my first official app to get reviewed by apple.

Shakespeare forged his tremendous art in the crucible of his comic imagination, which throughout his life enveloped and contained his tragic one. His early comedies with their baroque poetic exuberance, intense theatricality, explosive bursts of humor, and superbly concrete realizations of the dialects of love capture as in a chrysalis all that he was to become. They provide a complete inventory of the mind of our greatest writer in the middle of his golden youth.
This volume contains "The Comedy of Errors," "The Taming of the Shrew," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Love's Labor's Lost," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and it's companion piece, "Romeo and Juliet," which Tony Tanner describes in his introduction as "a tragedy by less than one minute." The texts, authoritatively edited by Sylvan Barnet, are supplemented with textual notes, bibliographies, a detailed chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Tanner discusses each play individually and in the context of Shakespeare's oeuvre.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
About the Author
Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.
Tony Tanner was Professor of English and American Literature at the University of Cambridge.

Abandoned west-Houma warehouse catches fire
Published: Tuesday, January 9, 2007 at 7:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 9, 2007 at 8:31 p.m.
HOUMA - An abandoned warehouse in west Houma caught fire Tuesday night, rocking the nearby neighborhoods around Morgan and Roosevelt streets with repeated explosions and sending one firefighter to the hospital suffering from exhaustion.
As Houma firefighters arrived on scene, they heard a series of three explosions were heard from inside the burning warehouse. People in the neighborhood heard explosions shortly after 7 p.m. At its peak, the fire consumed most of the warehouse, which stretches the length of an entire block on Bragg Street.
Houma Fire Chief Daniel Scott said the cause of the fire and explosions are still unknown. The building remains unsafe to enter, so officials will start investigating the cause of the blaze and the explosions Wednesday morning.
Houma Firefighter Bruce Short passed out while fighting the blaze, but regained consciousness when other firefighters gave him oxygen. He was not burned, and all his vital signs were strong, officials said, speculating that he may have been suffering from oxygen. He was rushed to Terrebonne General Medical Center emergency room and, as of 8:30 p.m., Short was still waiting to be seen by a doctor.
The warehouse sits across the street from the Houma-Terrebonne Council on Aging's Tunnel Boulevard office, and was being torn down for a new office by the Council on Aging and the Bayou Area Readiness and Recovery Committee. Officials hoped to have it open by June 1.
The 35 firefighters on scene extinguished most of the flames within about 20 minutes, but were still fighting spot fires more than an hour after getting the blaze under control.

Released: May 01st, 2001
Running Time: 85
Director: Jane Waters
Company: Devil's Film
Cast: Lena Ramon, Chris Gil, Damien Walters, Tom Moore, Gino Gultier, Toni Rio, Sharon Kane, Nikki Darlin, Tina Tyler, Jeremy Steele (II)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Enough different scenes to attract your bi fans.
For bisexual fans out there, the focus of this tape is boy/girl/boy action. In the first scene the girl, Tina Tyler, is mercilessly dual tongued by guys Chris Gil and Tom Moore. She's in heaven and takes viewers with her.
The best dialogue occurs in the second scene as real estate agent Lena Ramon explains her sales policy. For diversity, she only wants to sell to a gay couple, so Damien Walters will have to suck Jeremy Steele's dick to close the deal.
Jeremy: "Wow! You're a dominatrix, aren't you?"
Lena: "I am a real estate agent."
Walters returns in the next scene sucking his mistress' strap-on dildo and his master's cock. The last scene is a muddle, but Gino Gultier and Toni Rio make you forget the set up as they get it on.

The Republic of India is a country of greater part of the Indian subcontinent. It borders Pakistan in the northwest, the People's Republic of China, Nepal, and Bhutan in the north, and Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east. India's coastline stretches for over seven thousand kilometers. Its neighbours in the Indian Ocean are the island nations of the Maldives in the southwest, Sri Lanka in the south, and Indonesia in the southeast. India is the second most populated country in the world, with a population of over one billion and is the seventh largest country by geographical area. It is a constitutional republic consisting of twenty nine States and seven union territories. The word India derives from the Old Persian cognate for the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the Indus river. The Constitution of India also recognizes Bhārat listen (help·info) as an official name with equal status.
A centre of important historic trade routes, India is the home to some of the most ancient civilisations. India is the birthplace to four world religions:Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Hinduism. It also has the largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan. Hinduism is the major religion followed in India. India is a secular country. India was a former colony of the British Empire under the British Raj before gaining independence on 15 August 1947. The country has witnessed significant economic and military growth after the liberalization of the Indian economy.

Re: Ebook Price Differences...sirwillard Dec 14, 2010 6:36 AM (in response to lilkim714)
This book isn't published by one of the Agency 5, and thus not subject to agency pricing. List price is 25.99, but each retailer is offering it at a lower price. Checking Inkmesh (which doesn't think that B&N even carries the book) the typical price is roughly 18.00 (verified by checking each entry with the retailer, as Inkmesh isn't always up to date) with Amazon being the only exception. This means that B&N is 9.00 under list, and 4.00 under all competitors except Amazon. There's no guessing why Amazon has reduced the price so low, though one would guess it's a "loss leader" somehow. While it might be nice if B&N would reduce the cost to match Amazon, they are certainly being competitive in this instance and I see no reason to complain.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Slap Hally 13 is more of a slapping feature than a spanking feature, but, as yet, there's not really a fetish to define people being slapped, so it's more a spanking feature. In addition, there's a lot of spanking of asses and tits to boot, so the genre kind of fits.
What we've got here is a niche market film. Some people might find it hot as hell to watch sluts get slapped in the face while sucking cock, while some might find it offensive. Whatever.
Bonnie Jo is a hot blonde who looks killer with a dick down her throat, and getting her generous ass spanked. Chelsea Zinn, too, takes it up a notch by gagging on some dick.
Again, this isn't going to be for everyone, but those who like slapping will most likely really enjoy it.
Retailing: Slap fans probably don't have much to choose from.

Released: Nov 01st, 1996
Running Time: 136, 138, 143
Director: Christophe Clark
Company: Anabolic Video
Cast: Susan (I), Christophe Clark, Lora (I), Nikoletta, Illana, Veronique, Lili (I), Ana (I), Geraldina, Viki (VI) (Slovak), Queen Victoria, Andrew Youngman, Cowboy, Melanie (I), Katrin (I), Viola, Daniella (I), Regina (I), Nadia Linden, Kristie (I), Cecile, Vanda (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
What do you get when you combine a bevy of lovely Eurosluts with good videography and some willing guys? Christophe Clark provides the answer in his new "Penetration" series, shot in Europe for Anabolic. It's unfortunate that the ladies in this series are mostly unknown to American audiences. They are all at least attractive and some are stunningly beautiful. To top it off, their enthusiasm for nasty sex and lots of anal action makes this series a stroker's dream. Vol. 1 is a delight. Six scenes (five with anal penetration and/or analingus) comprise this vid. The girls are hot and stylish; the videography is nearly perfect at showing them off. Vol. 2 is just as hot and includes an opening three-way with an achingly gorgeous woman with a penchant for constant backdoor action. Vol. 3 includes more of the same, throws in some public flashing, and generally maintains the high quality of the previous two volumes. This series has a lot going for it: an average of six scenes per tape, each over two hours; gorgeous, fresh women; lots of anal; and even the occasional ass-to-mouth segment for the truly perverted. Add this pre-nomination-worthy series to your must-stock list.

On arrival at the park the men at once made a start erecting
the tents, and, despite the heavy wind blowing, soon had
things in excellent order.
In the evening a lecture was given by the officer commanding
to the other officers on camp duties and discipline, also on
the work to be done during the week.
Reveille was sounded at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning, breakfast
being served at 7 and at 9 a.m. the battalion and the Cycle
Corps paraded for divine service, conducted by
Chaplain-captain R.E. Davies, who gave a very interesting
discourse, exhorting the soldiers to quit themselves like men
on all occasions and under any circumstances.
The battalion then put in an hour in executing different
movements in close order, and from 11.30 to 12.45 each
company went through exercises in skirmishing under the
control of its own officers.
General leave was granted on Sunday afternoon.
From this morning onwards till Friday night, when the
battalion breaks camp, reveille will be sounded at 4.30 a.m.,
work commencing at 5 a.m.; breakfast at 6.30.
Tea will be served at 6 p.m.; parade at 7.
The officers will have control of their own companies, and
the men will be exercised morning and evening in skirmishing,
fire control, and fire discipline.
After the evening parade officers commanding companies will
give short lectures to their divisions. the following is the
parade state:
-Staff: Major McAra, in command; Captain Douglas, acting
adjutant; Lieut. Moncrieff, uartermaster. One sergeant-major,
one quartermaster-sergeant, one sergeant bugler.
A Company - Lieutenants Moller and Neill, 39 rank and file, -
total 41.
C Company - Lieutenants Melville and Gallaway, 21 rank and
file, - total 23.
E Company - Captain Fordham, and Lieutenant Lusk; 18 rank and

rank and file, - total 18.
G Company - Lieutenant Cushe, 30 rank and file, - total 31.
Band - 11 rank and fileGrand battalion parade - 150.
The officers and men are accommodated in 30 tents, pitched
just in front of the people's grandstand, and everything
bears a neat and clean appearance. The conduct of the men has
been most exemplary. The troops take their meals in a room
under the people's stand and the officers in the stewards'

Once again proving Radiohead to be the best band of our generation. Mad respect to these guys.
labor deal?
Its a lot easier to turn down a multi-million dollar deal when you've already had a few of them.
What a dim-bulb answer. Of COURSE you're going to spend it -- that's the WHOLE POINT of having more money, so you can increase your standard of living. The point of earning isn't to have the most when you die. Whether you spend it on something stupid or not depends on how stupid YOU are, not the money.
If Thom Yorke thinks his life will be just as comfortable without the money as with it, he's just a fool.
Likewise, the road argument. It's always presented this way, as "new roads don't reduce congestion, because traffic expands to fill them", which rather misses the point. Congestion is the same, but traffic volume is much increased. Only idiots worry about traffic congestion for its own sake. Businesses WANT MORE TRAFFIC -- it's a retail term. And if there are more roads, there will be more cars coming across them, and volume will go up.
This is a fundamental flaw in the way The Stranger thinks about road-building -- they don't understand the point of traffic in the first place. If you build a new bridge with twice as many lanes as the old bridge, and traffic still moves at the same crawl, you're still getting TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE ACROSS.
in rainbows is boring.
apparently being on a label helps keep the rock in your records.
"Roads just fill up" expresses a well known economic principle relating to roads: vastly diminishing returns.
Sure once you have a 2 million widgets a day widget factory, you can invest another $10 billion and get more widget making capacity, but that does not mean it is still a good investment.
Certainly the first $10 billion was a better investment.
This is where we are with roads.
After the road system is built, you can add to it, and get more cars creeping forward, but after spending billions no one's travel time is any faster, and there is no systemic increase in capacity if all you made were spot improvements like one bridge.
In fact, the greater # of cars means all other roads are more clogged.
You'd have to build an entire duplicate system of freeways, bridges, arterials etc. everywhere to get that doubled capacity with roads, system-wide.
Not gonna happen.
No room.
And bad use of dollars.
Building rail -- in contrast -- potentially can bring 10x more folks across that bridge (far more than adding a couple of SOV lanes).
BRT also can increase mobility more efficiently than new SOV lanes.
Of course any particular plan could be good, or bad, and likely you need a whole network of rail and BRT to see the very best returns or potentially, increasing returns (every line added, makes all the other lines that were already built, more used and more useful).
Ethical lapses in the past have surely diminished the bargaining position of the major record labels. Besides that, the same article tells us that Radiohead makes more money this way:
"Under a typical recording contract, a band receives royalties of about 15 percent of an albums wholesale price after expenses are recovered. Without middlemen, and with zero material costs for a download, $2.26 per album would work out to Radioheads advantage not to mention the worldwide publicity."
Fnarf ~ evidently "Induced Demand" is lost on you, as has been explained before, more lanes on a bridge doesn't mean twice the traffic, you'd need TWO bridges to accomplish that.
Think of it this way: how many times have you scheduled, on purpose, a flight out of Sea-Tac that left just before rush hour? Seldom I presume, because it'd be crowded as all heck to get there during rush hour to make your flight, and who wants to go early and have to wait at the airport all that extra time?
People use roads depending on their perception of how crowded they are, they prefer them to not be crowded and try to drive then.
Now I have to admit it SEEMS to make sense that if you build more roads things will get 'better' but when you build more roads and increase capacity you only encourage people who normally would just not drive then and wait for later; you get people driving to Sea-Tac during rush hour because all those extra lanes makes it possible for them... and they are all on the road with YOU as you try to get to work during rush hour, making it crowded again. Until the roads fill up AGAIN, and people start demanding MORE roads... get it?
It's not the commute, but the length of the commute. Make more lanes, and reduce your commute from 45 minutes to 20 and you only encourage people to live 20 minutes FARTHER OUT from the city, where they can commute 45 minutes from. More people use that road when they would just stay at home and NOT drive during the rush-hour, until the roads fill up again.
It's understandable that, before when the roads were new and there was hardly any of them, more was better. That thinking is old fashioned; it's like saying 2 beers make me feel good, so 20 beers should make me feel TEN times as good right? It just doesn't work that way anymore.
Fnarf -
Ayn Rand in on line one.
She wants to have phone sex.
Get your skyscraper dildo ready.
Colton, you cannot read.
I am completely familiar with all of your arguments. That's partly because "induced demand" is a commonplace or truism now, and is trotted out to explain everything, with all the same old knee-jerk arguments every time. You hit all the high points; good going. Unfortunately you didn't get my point at all.
You, like almost everyone addressing this subject, are focused on the questions you have ready answers for -- hence your "get it" and other cliches -- not the question that you're actually being asked.
I didn't say anything about "things getting better". You assume that you're hearing the same argument you've heard before, which has led you to deafness. I'm not interested in your debunking exercise, with which I am probably more familiar than you; I'm talking about something else.
I don't give a shit about congestion: never have, never will. Congestion is fine by me. I understand that induced demand will fill available roads; if you had READ my post you would have seen that. You're too busy battering your straw man to do that, of course.
Of course more traffic at the same speed means more people are getting places. But you have to compare building roads to building alternatives.
Rail moves just as many people for just as much money with less congestion. A direct comparison is just-rejected ST2 light rail vs. the full 405 expansion project. Each project about $10-11 billion, and each project would add about 300,000 new daily trips. This is with conservative ridership estimates for rail. In terms of moving people, rail's a better deal.
Then there's induced demand, which is more of a marginal effect than often stated but still quite real. You put more people in cars, and you create more demand for parking and sprawling development, which creates more demand. Trips aren't being created out of nowhere--they're being created because highways result in more stuff built further apart, with the very same people having to drive more to get the same things done. And then people crow about the savings at the big box stores without accounting for the extra driving those stores create.
fnarf, are you completely ignoring the massive increase in pollution that doubling car traffic would have?
I get the mental picture of Fnark red-faced, typing with balled fists. Maybe spit flying out between his lips and onto his monitor, even though he's not speaking.
Am I close?
Talk to me, Kfnark.
The problem is that when you build more freeways you end up with New Jersey.
or a Texas city
"Still Stuck in Traffic" is a good book.
This is like when the NBA basketball lockout happened and obscenely overpaid Knicks star Patrick Ewing said to the media, concerning why players had a right to ask for higher wages, "Players make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money too." Ewing made like $10-12 million a year.
He and the players union were raked over the coals for such an ignorantly open statement of greed.
Needless to say, while a similar statement, Thom Yorke's quote comes in a completely different, far less selfish context.
Mother, I have very graceful fingers and a sweet disposition.
Voodoo84, yes, I am ignoring it. I'm not saying that building the roads would be a good idea. I'm merely pointing out that the default argument against carries no weight against road proponents. It's a bad argument. There are good ones, but you don't hear them here very often.
Fnarf...then why spend anytime debunking bad arguments if you realize there are better arguments to be had. Aren't you in-effect just debunking your own strawman, even if someone did make that argument?
The fact is, congestion-relief is being touted over and over and over again by road advocates. That's the talking point they are always referring to, and probably why you hear many of us speaking over and over and over again to that issue.
@20: I think transit advocates are wasting their time with that line of argument.
New roads almost always provide congestion relief *in the short term*. SR-16 is a good example -- it's been a lot less congested since the new bridge opened. I have no doubt the area will fill in with development and become congested again eventually, but people are mostly blind to long-term effects.
I'm not pointing this out because I don't think your argument is objectively correct. I'm pointing it out because it's why your argument doesn't carry any weight with Joe Sixpack. He knows roads reduce congestion, because he's seen it happen. He's not going to listen to those anti-road types who try to tell him he's wrong when he's seen a new road reduce traffic with his own eyes.
I think "it's bad for the environment" or "we don't want to end up looking like L.A." are probably much more effective.

Cover Girl Clean Makeup Foundation, Put Your Best Face Forward.
So, off to the store I went to buy my ticket to acne free skin and a way to make my face more presentable to the world. Ok, so I only had 2 or 3 pimples but I was a teenager and hated them. Let me tell you Cover Girl?s foundation actually did help dry out my pimples and help prevent new ones from surfacing. This is because of the Noxzema ingredients added into the foundation that keeps your face pimple free. All without drying out my face and giving me that dry scaly look after I removed my makeup at night.
Cover Girl Clean Makeup Foundation comes in 14 different colors to meet any complexion and skin type: cool colors-natural ivory, medium light, warm beige, and creamy beige. From the warm colors you can choose from classic ivory, buff beige, soft honey and classic tan. From the neutral colors you can choose from ivory, creamy natural, classic beige, natural beige, tawny, toasted almond and soft sable.
Cover Girl Clean Makeup Foundation is a silky, smooth liquid that comes in a 1 fluid ounce clear glass bottle. It has a white twist-off lid with the letters CG on the top of the lid. I use Cover Girl?s foundation everyday and the 1 fluid ounce bottle does go along way. It doesn?t take much foundation to cover your face for a natural oil free look.
Cover Girl Clean Makeup is dermatologist tested and won?t clog your pores. It?s also available in fragrance-free and original formulas. So if you tend to have sensitive skin you may want to opt for the fragrance-free formula. I use the original formula myself and I have sensitive skin and the fragrance doesn?t bother me and break my face out. The fragrance formula doesn?t have a strong scent to it, yet a pleasant clean, fresh Noxzema smell to it.
Ingredients: water, propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, mineral oil, talc, cetyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, fragrance, stearic acid, eucalyptus oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium aluminum silicate, triethanolamine, trisodium edta, cellulose gum, camphor, menthol, clove oil, propylparaben, methylparben, lithium stearate, titanium dioxide, iron oxides.
Applying Cover Girl Clean Makeup:
To apply Cover Girl Clean Makeup foundation shake well before each use. I usually use my fingers, even though the beautician side of me knows it?s wrong and unsanitary (yep, I worked in a salon for 3 years). I dab a few dots of foundation on my face a blend it in. The silky smooth liquid goes on evenly without leaving streaks or blotches, leaving you with a natural looking face all day long. The foundation is so light you can?t even tell you have it on and best of all either can other people, even your significant other when they lean in for a kiss. Cover Girl Foundation also doesn?t come off on your clothes.
The proper and sanitary way to apply foundation is to put a dot on your forehead, cheeks and chin then with a dampen makeup sponge blend the foundation evenly. You should use a makeup sponge instead of your fingertips because you are re-depositing oil back on your face from your fingertips. Also you are adding oil to your foundation every time you go back for more. This is even more unsanitary if more then one person uses the foundation. If more coverage is needed wait for the first coat dry and apply more and blend evenly.
I like that Cover Girl Clean Makeup makes you face look natural and even outs those blotches of redness, pimples, uneven skin tones. If you have oily skin this really helps soak it up and keeps your face oil free all day. It also gives your face moisture so it helps keep your face soft and smooth feeling all day. The foundation stays put all day long and doesn?t fade or look ?cakey? as the day wears on. I?ve never had to reapply during the day and it still looked like I just applied it. At the end of the day Cover Girl?s foundation washes off easily and doesn?t leave an oily residue behind.
You can buy Cover Girl Clean Makeup Foundation at almost any drug store (Rite-Aid, CVS) at any grocery store (Foodtown, Krogers, Meijer's) or department stores (K-mart, Ames). Prices will vary from store to store, drug stores being that highest here and department stores being the lowest.
I would recommend Cover Girl Clean Makeup to any woman (young and old alike) who wants a foundation that goes on easily and blends naturally every time. Also for ones who like to wear foundation but don?t want to know it?s there. It?s so light you?ll forget you have it on. Cover Girl Clean Makeup is also inexpensive ($3.99) and one bottle lasts a long time. So if you want a foundation that makes your skin look natural and won?t clog your pores Cover Girl Clean Makeup is for you.

The Volkswagen Kombi Last edition has been announced, to celerbate 56 years of uninterrupted production in Brazil coming to an end. The Kombi Last Edition will have a production run of only 600 units and go on sale later this month.
Due to the unique shape of the Kombi, its structure and characteristics do not fit the new safety legislation being introduced in Brazil next year.
The Kombi Last Edition will have a special two-tone white and blue paint-job, and each model will be fitted with a numbered plaque from 001 to 600 on the dashboard. Special design elements such as the whitewall tyres and tinted rear windows celebrate the various editions of the Kombi to come out of Brazil since 1957.
Inside, the seats and door panels get special vinyl upholstery to match that of the exterior, along with a set of privacy curtains. Modern touches such as iPod compatibility have also been added.
Powered by the water-cooled 68bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine introduced in 2005, it's 34 per cent more powerful and 30 per cent more efficient than its air-cooled predecessor. When the Kombi was launched in 1957 it was initially fitted with a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing only 28bhp.
After its 56 years of production in the São Bernardo do Campo plant in Brazil, more than 1,550,000 units of the Kombi were manufactured at the plant, giving it the longest history of longevity in the automotive industry.

Time once again to pull out our Mark Twain and meditate on the joyful fortnight ahead of us: "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session."
Which means that with junkets, jaunts and assorted revels overseas on offer, NZ's parliamentarians are leaving in droves to make the most of their two weeks away from the House -- which means that for two weeks we'll be relatively free of their moronic intrusions into our life.
Thank goodness.
It would be worth paying their salaries and expenses just to keep them away for much longer.

Research Colloquium
Fourth Annual Research Colloquium Featuring Professor Sandra Graham
November 4, 2015
On November 4, 2015, the Michael D. Eisner College of Education hosted Dr. Sandra Graham, of UCLA, in the Fourth Annual Research Colloquium. Our renowned speaker Dr. Sandra Graham, Professor, Human Development and Psychology, Department of Education at UCLA and the University of California Presidential Chair in Education and Diversity spoke on "Race, Ethnicity and Social Adjustment of Adolescents: How (not if) School Diversity Matters Please". In this presentation, Dr. Graham explained her research program on students' academic and social outcomes related to school diversity in a longitudinal study from middle to high school in schools across California. On the basis of this project, Dr. Graham recommended policies to promote diversity as an important goal for the academic and social well-being of students. The presentation stimulated much interest and discussion with a lively Q & A from the audience.
The colloquium was very well attended, with 200 present, including faculty from the COE and across campus, students and classes. There are many individuals who facilitated bringing this event to fruition. These include Dean of the Michael D. Eisner College of Education Michael Spagna, Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership Director Miguel Ceja, the entire membership of the Research Advisory Committee, Brittany Swinson, Gloria Borysewicz, Callie Juarez, Mario Martinez, and Gloria Derge.
We look forward to planning the Fifth Annual Research Colloquium for next year.

Third Annual Research Colloquium Featuring Dean Marcelo Suárez-Orozco
October 29, 2014
On October 29, the Michael D. Eisner College of Education (MDECOE) hosted Dean and Distinguished Professor Marcelo Suárez-Orozco, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, as the Third Annual Research Colloquium Speaker of the MDECOE. His talk, titled: Rethinking Education in the Age of Vertigo: Further thoughts on Globalization, Immigration, and Inequality, focused on critical issues facing the education of students from immigrant families, and the implications of these issues for Los Angeles in particular, and global society in general.
Second Annual Research Colloquium Featuring Dr. James Gee
October 8, 2013
The Second Annual Research Colloquium was held on Tuesday October 8, 2013. We were honored to have renowned researcher and professor, Dr. James Paul Gee, speak about Digital Media and Learning in a Dangerous Age.
First Annual Research Colloquium, Oct. 17th, 2012
Dr. Halpern, who is a McElwee Family Professor of Psychology at Claremont McKenna College, and a 2013 James McKeen Cattell Award Recipient for her lifetime contributions to applied psychological research, spoke about her research on: SEX, GENDER, AND COGNITION: HOW THE DATA ARE BEING MISUSED TO SUPPORT THE PSEUDOSCIENCE ON SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLING
One of the most controversial topics in psychology is how, how much, and why females and males differ in some cognitive abilities. The topic is probably as old as humankind and as new as this morning's news. Yet, it continues to fascinate and confound us. The "truth" about cognitive sex differences is complicated, and although there are many similarities in the cognitive abilities of males and females, there are also differences that are very large, and have been replicated across time, cultures, and species. How can we make sense of the large and often contradictory data about cognitive sex differences, and even more importantly, how can we use these data appropriately and guard against their misuse in formulating public policies, including the pseudoscience behind single-sex schooling? Check out www.coedschools.org and join the growing list of professionals who support coeducational schooling.

Books What Should I Read Next?
posted by April 11 at 14:09 PMon
There are a ton of bad book recommendation search engines out there, but this one seems pretty okay. First of all, I tried to enter a relatively obscure book that's confounded a couple of other book recommendation search engines, Stanley Elkin's The Magic Kingdom, which is an evil-but-hilarious novel about Make-A-Wish Kids visiting Disney World.
Some of the results ( Doctor Who: The Infinity Doctors by Lance Parkin, Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow) were insanely bad recommendations, but many of them were books that I'd loved (The Sot-weed Factor by John Barth, The Roaches Have No King by Daniel Evan Weiss). Of course, I didn't get any actual recommendations out of the search, but other searches on the engine have proven more fruitful. It's not perfect, but it looks like a good start.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Hip Problems, Age 12 and Older
The following tips may prevent hip problems or injuries.
Keep bones strong
- Eat foods rich in calcium, like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables. Eat foods rich in vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.
- Exercise and stay active. It is best to do weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights, for 2½ hours a week. One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. In addition to weight-bearing exercise, experts recommend that you do resistance exercises at least 2 days a week. Talk to your doctor about an exercise program that is right for you. Begin slowly, especially if you have not been active. For more information, see the topic Fitness.
- Don't drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day if you are a man, or 1 alcohol drink a day if you are a woman. People who drink more than this may have a higher chance for developing osteoporosis. Alcohol use also increases your chance of falling and breaking a bone.
- Stop or do not begin smoking. Smoking also increases your chance for developing osteoporosis. It also interferes with blood supply and healing. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
Exercises to keep your hip and back area strong
Warm up and stretch before exercising to prevent problems.
- Prone buttocks squeeze, to strengthen the buttocks muscles. These support your back and help you lift with your legs.
- Pelvic tilts to stretch the lower back
- Hamstring stretch to stretch the muscles in the back of the thigh
- Hip flexor stretch to stretch the muscles in the hip that help the hip glide and work smoothly

A coroner's official says authorities have recovered four prescription drug bottles bearing the name of actor Cory Haim but found nothing illegal while investigating his death.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined Friday to identify the drugs. Haim was battling flulike symptoms in the days before his death.

Photos: Stars, Drugs and Death
Former Child Stars Mourn Corey Haim
Winter says an autopsy was done Thursday, but his office is awaiting the results of toxicology tests that could take two months before determining a cause of death.
Haim died Wednesday in Burbank after collapsing at his mother's apartment. He had been taking care of his cancer-stricken mother in the recent months. The 38-year-old battled drug addiction for years.
In the 1980s, Corey Haim became a teen pin-up favorite, a baby-faced idol with an infectious grin and a "firecracker" personality.
But as he shot to stardom with a string of hit films including the 1987 vampire smash "The Lost Boys," the promising Toronto-born actor fell into a debilitating battle with drugs and alcohol that he later blamed for ruining his career and destroying his health
As of late he struggled to mount a career comeback in Los Angeles. He recently completed several film projects.
