Teenager arrested over attack on schoolboys at Melbourne Central station
- From: Knox Leader
- May 03, 2013
TWO high school students have been left shaken after being robbed and bashed at a train station after a school excursion.
The Wantirna College year 11 students were on their way home from a school excursion when they were attacked by a group at Melbourne Central train station on Tuesday afternoon.
Principal Sue Bell said the boys were then confronted by a group of youths at Melbourne Central station, who reportedly bashed them and stole their phones.
"They were shaken by it, it's a horrible thing to happen," Ms Bell said.
Both students were admitted to the Royal Children's Hospital but Ms Bell said they were not seriously injured.
They had visited the Melbourne Magistrates' Court for a legal studies trip on the day.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said detectives were investigating the alleged robbery and assault.
Ms Bell said she had no issues with VCE students being allowed to travel home independently after excursions.
"We don't want what happened to stop kids going on excursions,'' she said.
A boy, 15, has been arrested and is assisting police with their inquiries.
No charges have been laid.

Media 2005 vs. 2006
posted by December 5 at 1:00 AMon
I'm high… and listening to Puccini's Tosca.
Yesterday, I reminded the Slog about Yahoo's 2005 Top Ten Searches list.
Well, I get home tonight to find that the 2006 list was released today.
Compare and contrast. And discuss! And… who is Chris Brown?
1. Britney Spears
2. World Wrestling Entertainment
3. Shakira
4. Jessica Simpson
5. Paris Hilton
6. American Idol
7. Beyonce Knowles
8. Chris Brown
9. Pamela Anderson
10. Lindsay Lohan
1. Britney Spears
2. 50 Cent
3. Cartoon Network
4. Mariah Carey
5. Green Day
6. Jessica Simpson
7. Paris Hilton
8. Eminem
9. Ciara
10. Lindsay Lohan
Footnote on Yahoo's poll:
Yahoo! included blogs and bloggers as a category for the first time, and PerezHilton.com was tops. The self-proclaimed "Hollywood's most-hated Web site" is all about celebrity gossip, rumor and innuendo.
Other blogs in the Top 10 include Huffington Post, TMZ.com, Daily Kos, Little Green Footballs and Gawker.
The Drudge Report would have beaten them all, Early said, except that "our editors consider Drudge to be too mainstream to be a blogger."

Skip to comments.Girl Scouts admit transgendered boy in Colorado
Posted on 02/01/2014 10:28:44 AM PST by Oldpuppymax
Girl Scouts of Colorado decided that 7-year-old Bobby Montoya would be allowed to join his local Girl Scout chapter becauseas the attached video indicateshe identifies as a girl. The groups vice president of communications said that any child who is living life as a girl is eligible for membership in the organization.
Bobbys mother, Felisha Archuleta, claimed that her son was humiliated when he was [initially] turned away by a Girl Scout leader . Of course, the unfeeling GS representative was immediately chastised and provided Sensitivity Training for not understanding that little boys are really little girls when their mothers want them to be.
If he/she survives High School...
(Excerpt) Read more at coachisright.com ...
But, of course, Republicans are the anti-science party.
Just rename this place the United States of the Onion.
Apparently that publication was giving us the real news all along.
gd parents who assist these kids with their creative sexing is disgusting.
Now that Bobby Montoya is allowed to join the Girl Scouts in Denver, Col. however, Christian leaders of three Girl Scout troops in Louisiana are disbanding in protest, .....saying they are horrified by Montoya's inclusion and worry about the effect it will have on small children.
We said this would happen.
The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Youth are on the march!
Is the BSA admitting girls yet?
Try Heritage Girls
But, he can't be a Girl Scout because he can't have an abortion one day!
Seriously, I wonder how welcoming they'd be if he was a pro-life transgender? (Yeah, slim chance, but it is possible.)
Nor Boy Scout popcorn.
Madness leads to more madness.
So wrong on so many levels, I'm speechless.
There seems to be no father which explains a lot. The kid wouldn't know about Scouts unless his agenda mama had told him.
I identify as a rock on the moon. Does that mean I'm exempt from paying taxes?
Ditto here.
We'll make a direct donation to help send my nephews to camp, but they'll have to earn it.
Then they themselves get 100% of the money, instead of laundering 70% of it through the local Council.
"Transgendered"...sheesh, what a load of crap! You are what you are and there's no changing it. Even if you have appliances attached or parts of the anatomy removed, even if you take hormones, the plumbing is still what God gave you. It's insanity, but in this boy's case, the insanity is on the part of his mother.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
50 years ago the "parents" would have been locked up for child abuse.
150 years ago they would have been hanged.
Bad cases make bad grammar . . . . ;)
This poor kid. Sounds like he identifies with big sis (not having a dad in the household) and wants to be like her. So Mom, instead of explaining that it's okay for boys to like girl things like cooking and playing dolls, has supported him in this absurd decision that he actually *is* a girl, thereby screwing him up for life. (I have two six-year-old boys and KNOW the idiocies they come up with every day!!!!! I would no more let them make life decisions at this age than try to walk to the moon.)
This happened 2 years ago
In one Council and has not been occurred anywhere else
I hope it is not considered "Breaking news"
Slow news day?
There are more girls in UK Boy Scouts (home of Scouting Founder Baden-Powell) than there are boys - not enough Girl Guide leaders and troops
No the BSA does not admit girls (even though I would guess half the BSA leaders are women) but at 14 they can become co-ed Venture Scouts
Scouting is co-ed in all of those countries except the United States and Muslim countries.
Incidentally, the BSA made a big deal last year about referring to Scouts in the Venturing program as Venturing Scouts, and not Venture Scouts.
I used to like GS cookies. But I simply cannot support that crap.
My cardiologist will be happy.
well my DD is being recruited by a group and I believe they refer to themselves as a Venture Crew, not a Venturing Crew.
I will have to correct them. Thanks.
If they go to the Venturing Website or to any of the current Venturing materials, they'll see that all references are to Venturing Crews.
If they go to the Venturing Website or to any of the current Venturing materials, they'll see that all references are to Venturing Crews.
These children are being indoctrinated and brainwashed for politically correct political reasons. Parents should be investigated for child abuse,
A: Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.
Q: How does Girl Scouts' position on serving transgender youth apply to situations involving camping or volunteers?
A: These situations are rare and are considered individually with the best interests of all families in mind. Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to camp, GSUSA recommends that the local council makes similar accommodation that schools across the country follow in regard to changing, sleeping arrangements, and other travel-related activities. With respect to volunteers, Girl Scouts welcomes both male and female adult volunteers and has developed appropriate safeguards regarding roles and responsibilities to ensure that girls receive the proper supervision and support.
Can I get into MIT?
What the kid needs is a shrink, not admittance to the Girl Scouts. Boy, the APA really messed things up for these kids. Now there's no research being conducted to help these kids; they have to be given special accommodation before they end up killing themselves. These kids need help not accommodation.

Hi James. Great plugin, thanks. Simplifies the customisation of WC rather than having to have lots of custom css edits.
It all seems to be working well, except for the remove star ratings function which I cannot get to work. The star ratings remain in the product archive regardless of whether the option is on or off.
However the following custom css (which I'm sure you provided previously!) works no problem:
/* Remove the star-ratings from catalogue*/
.woocommerce-page .products .star-rating {
display: none;
Any ideas please why this function in the plugin might not be working for me?
Thanks, James

Tom Cruise's Top 10 Movies
Over the last few decades, he's completed four impossible missions, learned about Wapner time, driven the highway to the danger zone, and done wonders for Bob Seger's royalty statements. Now, it's time to refresh Tom Cruise's Total Recall in honor of the about-to-reach-theaters Edge of Tomorrow, so we're here to look back at the best-reviewed films of his career. Cruise has taken his share of lumps over the last few years, but for a guy with so many movies to his name, Cruise has had remarkable overall good luck with critics. Let's stroll down the Tom Cruise block of memory lane, shall we?Back to Article

LONDON (Reuters) - Top seed Novak Djokovic suffered some jittery moments under the big-serving onslaught of Marin Cilic on Wednesday before changing his shoes and pulling his game together to win 6-1 3-6 6-7(4) 6-2 6-2 for a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals.
The Serbian former champion began efficiently, rattling through the first set in 27 minutes on a sunny but subdued Court One.
The crowd had half an ear on Henman Hill, where big-screen spectators whooped and groaned through champion Andy Murray's defeat by 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov.
Djokovic's intensity dropped in the second set. The world No.2 slipped and slid in the baseline dust and his towering Croatian opponent grabbed a break of serve using his big forehand to pummel the six-times grand slam champion.
"We could hear the crowd during the match and it was a bit distracting; but no excuses, we had to concentrate," Djokovic said.
"It was a tough five-setter. Coming in I knew Marin would play aggressively.
"He raised his game but I allowed him to come back into it. I was too passive on my strokes and he used his opportunities, but I managed to find the right pace when I needed it."
The pair fought a tight third set, watched by their celebrity coaches Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic, before normal service was resumed.
Djokovic donned a new pair of shoes, upped the pace and raced into his 23rd semi-final, where he will meet 23-year-old Bulgarian Dimitrov.
"After I changed my shoes in the fourth set I played well - I will keep them to play Grigor Dimitrov," a smiling Djokovic said.
"It was a big win for Grigor. He's on fire this last six months ... he's not lost a match on grass this year. He's the man to beat."

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley is creating a commission to find ways to reduce government spending with little or no reduction in state services.
Bentley signed an executive order Tuesday to start the Alabama
Commission on Improving State Government.
The executive order coincides with Bentley looking at whether to cut the state General Fund budget because of less-than-anticipated revenue.
Bentley spokeswoman Rebekah Mason said the governor will
announce the appointments to the commission in a few days.
It's supposed to deliver its recommendations to the governor by June 1, roughly two weeks before the Legislature wraps up its regular
Bentley's order also directs state agencies to look for duplicated, outdated and ineffective services that can be eliminated.

Lost Planet 2's Desert Multiplayer Gameplay Trailer Is Annoying But Explosive
Written Wednesday, March 31, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Another multiplayer gameplay trailer from Lost Planet 2's campaign has surfaced from Capcom HQ, getting four community bods together again to talk complete bollocks over one of the game's massive boss battles.
Much like the last multiplayer trailer, we'd recommend the mute button unless you fancy counting how many times they say, "oh shit!"
It's essential viewing though, for the huge Akrid monsters, a dual-rotored helicopter and a massive cannon mounted on the back of a speeding train.
Seriously, that massive desert Akrid boss is immense. It puts those rubbish tremors from that movie to shame. What was that movie with those tremors in it called again?

So, I am working on a new site and trying to use WooCommerce. I downloaded, installed Mystile theme from Woo, installed WooCommerce, WooDoJo... unpacked installed WooSidebars and I got nothing.
There is absolutely no reference anywhere (in themes, mystile editor, appearance link, woocommerce admin, etc...) to this plugin other than to say that it thinks it exists.
I want to create custom sidebars. This is the only installation of any theme ever (and I've installed more than a few) that not only disabled my WP sidebars, but now won't let me do anything.
Where did they go? How do I get them back? Do I need a different theme? Do I need a quick edit in a woo php file somewhere?
Quite frustrated. Thanks in advance!!!

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Pretty girls take on black guys en masse; push to those in search of the nastiest hardcore available.
This series is shaping up as one of the nastiest in the black-on-white gangbang genre. The lovely Claudia Adkins starts things off reading a back issue of AVN and musing aloud about her lust for black meat. Her idle fantasies are instantly fulfilled as the usual pack of grunts materializes in the room to give her satisfaction - and you know what that means: throat-fucking, anal plunging, moronic trash-talk, multiple facials and oh, so much more. Elsewhere, the glamorous likes of Dominica Leoni and Aurora Snow accept similar treatment. This is down-and-dirty hardcore at its basest, so recommend to your customers accordingly.

Product Description
From Amazon
Harold Bloom's urgency in How to Read and Why may have much to do with his age. He brackets his combative, inspiring manual with the news that he is nearing 70 and hasn't time for the mediocre. (One doubts that he ever did.) Nor will he countenance such fashionable notions as the death of the author or abide "the vagaries of our current counter-Puritanism" let alone "ideological cheerleading." Successively exploring the short story, poetry, the novel, and drama, Bloom illuminates both the how and why of his title and points us in all the right directions: toward the Romantics because they "startle us out of our sleep-of-death into a more capacious sense of life"; toward Austen, James, Proust; toward Thomas Mann, Toni Morrison, and Cormac McCarthy; toward Cervantes and Shakespeare (but of course!), Ibsen and Oscar Wilde.
How should we read? Slowly, with love, openness, and with our inner ear cocked. Then we should reread, reread, reread, and do so aloud as often as possible. "As a boy of eight," he tells us, "I would walk about chanting Housman's and William Blake's lyrics to myself, and I still do, less frequently yet with undiminished fervor." And why should we engage in this apparently solitary activity? To increase our wit and imagination, our sense of intimacy--in short, our entire consciousness--and also to heal our pain. "Until you become yourself," Bloom avers, "what benefit can you be to others." So much for reading as an escape from the self!
Still, many of this volume's pleasures may indeed be selfish. The author is at his best when he is thinking aloud and anew, and his material offers him--and therefore us--endless opportunities for discovery. Bloom cherishes poetry because it is "a prophetic mode" and fiction for its wisdom. Intriguingly, he fears more for the fate of the latter: "Novels require more readers than poems do, a statement so odd that it puzzles me, even as I agree with it." We must, he adjures, crusade against its possible extinction and read novels "in the coming years of the third millennium, as they were read in the eighteenth and nineteenth century: for aesthetic pleasure and for spiritual insight."
Bloom is never heavy, since his vision quest contains a healthy love of irony--Jedediah Purdy, take note: "Strip irony away from reading, and it loses at once all discipline and all surprise." And this supreme critic makes us want to equal his reading prowess because he writes as well as he reads; his epigrams are equal to his opinions. He is also a master allusionist and quoter. His section on Hedda Gabler is preceded by three extraordinary statements, two from Ibsen, who insists, "There must be a troll in what I write." Who would not want to proceed? Of course, Bloom can also accomplish his goal by sheer obstinacy. As far as he is concerned, Don Quixote may have been the first novel but it remains to this day the best one. Is he perhaps tweaking us into reading this gigantic masterwork by such bald overstatement? Bloom knows full well that a prophet should stop at nothing to get his belief and love across, and throughout How to Read and Why he is as unstinting as the visionary company he adores. --Kerry Fried --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
This aesthetic self-help manual is a reliably idiosyncratic guide to what Yale literary critic Bloom calls "the most healing of pleasures"A reading well. In chapters that focus on short stories, poems, novels and plays, Bloom takes readers on a swift but satisfying joyride through the West's most outrageous, original and exuberant textsAclassics by Chekhov, Flannery O'Connor, Borges, Dickinson, Proust, Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison, among others. Unconventionally organized by literary genre, his text is passionately anecdotal and observant. By asking great questionsA"Why does Lady Bracknell delight us so much?"; "How does one read a short story?"ABloom hopes to influence our reading lists and habits. He gives some texts, such as Moby-Dick, almost cursory treatment; others he discusses at length. Fans of his bestselling Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human (1998) will find the lengthy discussion of Hamlet here to be a kind of coda. Overall, this book is a testament to Bloom's view that reading is above all a pleasurably therapeutic event. "Imaginative literature is otherness, and as such alleviates loneliness," he notes, reminding us of what's inexhaustible about writers such as Whitman and Borges and attesting to the satisfaction that literary texts offer our solitary selves.

The fast-moving commentaries are almost too much. I could not read this book in one sitting. Reading about another's perception's of Nabokov and Hemingway and Cervantes and Shakespeare and Milton and Faulkner and Ellison and Morrison (to name only a few of the authors mentioned in these 283 pages) in one sitting is, for me, impossible. I had to come up for air rather frequently. I had to think about what I had read; I had to let the words I had heard sink in-for, as Bloom points out, we must listen when we read. But in the end, I found the book well worth the effort.
For this book teaches the patient and attentive reader something few books on literature will: that we should read not out of any ideology, not to better the world but to better ourselves.Read more ›
Although these lyrics remain wonderful poetry, they are not what the usual eight-year old boy chooses to commit to memory. At the age of seventy, when this book was written, Bloom had not really changed so much from the precocious little boy he had been at eight. He was still chanting, still being pretentious and showy and he was still the world's premier reader. I don't know if Bloom was great fun when he was eight but he was certainly great fun at seventy.
In How to Read and Why, Bloom laments the death of memorized verse, telling us that people today now read far fewer poems than they did previously and with far less attention, simply because they don't have to. But, he goes on, the very fact that we don't have to is no excuse for not doing so. He exhorts us to try harder; learn more; read better.
Those who are familiar with Bloom will not be surprised to find, in this book, that he adores the poetry of eighteenth-century England. The poets writing at that time despaired of everything but a strong sense of self and its tremendous power of endurance. Bloom, himself, despairs of computers, television and anything else that draws our attention away from quality reading. Quality is the all-important key word to Bloom. Poe, Bloom tells us, wrote atrociously even though he remains immensely popular.Read more ›
His guide to Faulkner is thought-provoking, and his admiration for Melville intriguing. Here he even argued that the author of Moby Dick influenced, in some ways, Toni Morisson's art of writing.
Of course, one should never forget that Bloom is a passionate advocate of Shakespeare, and his article on this god-like English writer is not something one could ignore. For Bloom, Shakespeare is the only possible rival to the bible, in literary power at least.
This is a sincere analysis on how to read and why. A brilliant and outrageous compilation.
You'd be better served simply doing a Google search for the various short stories it covers in chapter 2. They're all good and you can find most of them online. I copied and pasted 5 of them (they're public domain) and printed them out. They're all worth reading.
Basically, How to Read and Why is a fun book, but you might as well just buy the books that are listed in the index. Bloom doesn't add too much to them.

HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro looks thin and frail but alert in a photograph from last month posted on the Web site of the Russian
Orthodox Church.
The image was obtained yesterday by The Associated Press and
shows the ailing 82-year-old former president standing and peering
at the camera with a hint of surprise on his face.
He's wearing an exercise suit and his gray hair is combed back. As if for support, he's pressing an arm against Metropolitan Kirill, the church's top foreign relations official.
The church says the picture was taken Oct. 20, when Kirill was
in Havana for the consecration of a new Orthodox cathedral.
Castro has not been in public since emergency surgery in July 2006. It's the first image of him since June.

San Jose Strategy to Lure A's Hits Snag
The Oakland Athletics' plan to move to San Jose has run into a new complication—attempts by the state controller to clean up the detritus of California's defunct redevelopment agencies.
Hoping to provide a space for a new stadium for the A's, San Jose's redevelopment agency spent about $25 million buying up and cobbling together blighted land near downtown. The plan is to sell the land to the A's for $6.9 million and build a baseball stadium on it with private money.
A hitch emerged last year when state legislation eliminating local redevelopment authorities was passed. In anticipation of the legislation, the San Jose agency transferred the land pegged for the stadium to a city-run entity, still intending for the A's to buy it.
But in an April 20 letter, state Controller John Chiang ordered local governments that received land from redevelopment agencies last year to "immediately reverse the transfer" and return the land to a local "successor" agency set up to hold on to former redevelopment assets. The state hasn't said where the assets will ultimately end up.
Jacob Roper, a spokesman for Mr. Chiang, declined to comment on how the guidance affects individual cities, and says the controller hasn't yet reviewed the San Jose deal. Mr. Roper says the controller's office decided to issue the letter last month to provide as much guidance as possible before the controller performs formal reviews of each city.
San Jose City Attorney Rick Doyle argues the transfer of the land from the redevelopment agency to the city entity shouldn't have to be reversed because the land is already "encumbered" by a contract—the option the A's have to buy it for $6.9 million.
Mr. Chiang's letter does say encumbered land is exempt from the clawback, but only if a deal was in place before June 28 last year. The A's option was signed in November.
The stadium tangle is a small piece of the statewide fallout from the closure of California's redevelopment authorities. For decades, local governments were allowed to form redevelopment agencies that used bonds and other funding to refurbish rundown neighborhoods; the agencies were allowed to keep any increase in property-tax revenue that resulted from the improvements, rather than send the tax money to the state.
Last year's legislation shutting down redevelopment agencies was aimed at bringing that tax money back to state government. But with more than 400 redevelopment authorities statewide, the state controller must now sort out the rightful owners of hundreds of pieces of agency property.
Mr. Chiang's order comes as San Jose is also fighting a lawsuit over the stadium plan filed late last year by a group supported by the San Francisco Giants organization, which have a minor league team in San Jose. The Giants say San Jose is their territory, and are also pushing Major League Baseball to block the deal.
Ron Van Buskirk, a lawyer for the anti-stadium group, called Stand for San Jose, says the controller's order means San Jose has "got to give the land back" and put the stadium plan on hold.
San Jose, which maintains the land transfer shouldn't have to be reversed, is hoping to move forward on the project.
Mr. Van Buskirk's group is also critical of the option the A's have to purchase the land—which he says San Jose could sell for much more than $6.9 million—and the city's environmental-review process for the proposed ballpark.
San Jose officials say the land could be sold for more than $6.9 million only if it is rezoned for a high-rise or other commercial use, but that it is now slated for a ballpark.
Larry Stone, the Santa Clara County assessor and a supporter of the ballpark plan, says he agrees. "It's a very restricted use and you can't build anything on it other than a ballpark, so it's worth less money," he says.
Representatives of the Giants and A's say Major League Baseball has asked the teams not to comment publicly on the matter. An MLB spokesman says a panel convened in 2009 to sort out the Giants and A's issues continues to meet and is working toward a resolution.
The A's, owned by John Fisher and Lew Wolff, play in the O.co Coliseum, part of the Coliseum complex in Oakland and have among the lowest attendance numbers of any team in the major leagues. Oakland leaders are proposing their own plan to build a new park.
But the San Jose proposal has moved faster, partly because the city, eager to have the A's come to town, is willing to sell the land to the team at a loss. The land's value has decreased from the $25 million the redevelopment agency paid in several transactions around 2005, to about $14 million now, according to a 2010 appraisal conducted by Colliers International, city documents show, assuming it was rezoned so a high rise or other high-value commercial property could be built there.
Final word on the land transfer could take a year or more. The state controller's office is currently doing two "pilot" examinations of redevelopment-agency properties, in Morgan Hill and Milpitas, says Mr. Roper, the spokesman for Mr. Chiang. The controller will be reviewing reports on other redevelopment agencies in coming months, he says.
Mr. Doyle, the San Jose city attorney, says it could be more than six months before there is a hearing in the court case. In the meantime, the land is sitting vacant, with its future use and ownership in limbo.

The Upcoming NFL Season Could Make You Fat or Fatter
Everyone enjoys some good munchies during an NFL Game cheering on your favorite team, but what happens when the game is over?
Everyone enjoys some good munchies during an NFL Game cheering on your favorite team, but what happens when the game is over?
The 2013 NFL season has yet to officially start, and speculation on how long Christian Ponder is at the helm of the Minnesota Vikings offense is already heavily suggesting he will be replaced mid-season by backup Matt Cassel. Odds are good that not only does this change not happen, but Ponder hangs around for another year, even with a sub-par 2013 season. Here's why I think he hangs around (in no particular order).
Minnesota Vikings running back and the NFL MVP Adrian Peterson stopped by Reddit today to do an AMA (ask me anything) session with its users to promote the Wheaties boxes that he is currently appearing on and Reddit users rarely disappoint, here are some highlights.
When life throws you lemons...well, you know the rest. When life deflates your football stadium roof, why not make the most of the situation? Duluth Pack has created a line of handbags that use material from the Metrodome roof after it collapsed roughly three years ago.
While Vikings fans have to wait a few more weeks before seeing Adrian Peterson hit the field, they have the chance to see their favorite superstar appear in all his glory on Wheaties boxes.
After making an early impact in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, then bouncing to the Raiders, Patriots, Vikings (again), Titans, and the 49ers; Randy Moss has finally decided to retire and find a new career.
As the Minnesota Vikings are set to kick off the NFL Preseason tonight at the Metrodome against the Houston Texans, they remind fans of a new safety policy regarding what you can bring into NFL stadiums - a policy which starts tonight.
The Minnesota Vikings are in in Mankato, preparing to head into another NFL season. Hopes are high, and sights are set on heading deeper into the playoffs than their 2012 one-and-out experience against the Packers at Lambeau.
The Minnesota Vikings are in Mankato for their annual training camp, but even the fans that travel to the camp won't get this great view of all-star running back Adrian Peterson in action.
This year marks a bittersweet end of the Metrodome as the home of the Minnesota Vikings and many other big sports moments in Minnesota history.
The 2013 ESPY Awards are this week, and Adrian Peterson is in the running for a few different awards; including Best Male Athlete and Best Comeback. As AP continues his campaign for the awards, he and blocker Matt Kalil appeared in a new commercial for the award ceremony.
The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their final season at the Metrodome with a preseason game against the Houston Texans on August 9th and wrap up the regular season by playing divisional rivals Detroit Lions on December 29th, and tickets for these two matchups and the seven others go on sale July 16th.

Family friendly hotel with spacious rooms in a quiet location. Just steps away from scenic mountain trails.
Dinner at the restaurant patio was surprisingly excellent, both the food the service were top notch. We ended up eating there both nights we stayed at the hotel.

Who will reincarnate the electric car?
Plug-in hybrids and electric cars will, I believe, be one of the major solutions to our climate and oil problems — and deserve dedicated attention.
So Climate Progress is happy to introduce Marc Geller, who blogs at Plugs and Cars. He is on the Board of Directors of the Electric Auto Association. He co-founded DontCrush.com and Plug In America. Both of us appeared in the film Who Killed the Electric Car. His full bio is here. Welcome, Marc!
The IEEE Spectrum Magazine for November 07 touts on its cover "Battery or Fuel-Cell Cars? A California Cabal Will Decide." Interesting choice of headlines. Surely a strong argument can be made that something approaching a cabal turned a practical electric-cars-on-the-road mandate into a research and development program for hydrogen fuel cells vehicles.
Carmakers are desirous of delaying the inevitable but problematic move to electric drive. Oil companies shut out of electric markets are exploring biofuels and hydrogen as potential markets they could control. Academics awash in government and corporate grants analyse and research biofuels and hydrogen. The problem with electric is it is here now. Proven, ready to market. No significant need for research. Batteries could always use a nudge, but the 100+ mile battery has existed for over a decade. Price needs to come down by a factor of two at most, not a factor of 100. Economies of scale, baby!
Facts are facts. Not five years ago we had thousands (about 6000) of battery electrics as daily drivers for consumers like you and me and utilities' fleets like PG&E and SCE. Thanks to Plug In America's predecessor DontCrush.com, about 1000 of those cars still drive today on the original batteries using existing electric infrastructure. Their owners love them, and when one appears on the used car market it sells for more than the $42,000 original MSRP.
Also today, instead of thousands more electric cars envisioned by the original ZEV mandate, we have about two hundred $1-million-dollar hydrogen FCVs functioning as demo vehicles, limited by the lack of infrastructure, and lasting the limited 2 to 4 year life of their fuel cell stack.
The IEEE article does a decent job of wending through the ZEV morass. Auto makers still want lots of credit for fuel cells, they just don't want to keep to the agreed timetable. That which they don't kill (EVs in 2003) they hope to delay (FCVs in 2008).
However plug-in cars, both plug-in hybrids and electric cars, are seeing a resurgence. Every car maker has announced intentions to plug something in. But they certainly don't want a mandate to do it. Groups such as Plug In America are asking for parity for Zero Emission Vehicles of whatever type. They say the point is ZEV miles on the road. ARB Board member and recipient of millions in fuel cell and hydrogen grants Dan Sperling fears parity will lead auto makers to take the cheaper "easy way," battery electric cars. "Automakers might abandon their fuel-cell programs," he said.
"So what" reply proponents of battery electric cars, citing battery improvements that surpass fuel cell advancements and existing infrastructure supplying domestically produced fuel at a fraction of the cost of gasoline. A ZEV is a ZEV is a ZEV, they point out, and even Toyota admits we won't see FCVs in the showroom until 2030 at the earliest. ARB is meant to put ZEVs on the road, driving, meeting real people's real needs. Only battery cars can do that near term. CARB could nudge that process along as the ZEV program is revised early in 2008. The IEEE article contains a germ of hope:
…thanks to today's climate – economic, political and atmospheric – some consumers are ready to trade range for a car that costs less to run and produces less pollution. CARB Chairwoman Mary Nichols agrees. "People are willing to take a chance…"

11 Responses to Who will reincarnate the electric car?
It's hard to believe that anyone would be proud to have been in that crockumentary piece if lying nonsense called "Who Killed the Eelectric car?"
I counted 15 major lies in that film, beginning with the preposterous claim that Ed Begley made about the EV-1 being a practical car that could meet the need of an overwhelming portion of the public. A true statement was that the overpriced, inconvenient EV-1 was recently named by Time as one of the worst 50 cars ever made. I note that it had no particular advantage over the Detroit Electric built in 1907. In 90 years of "progress",
it still required 8 hours to recharge a car that could barely guarantee a round trip to a destination a mere 40 miles away. $43K for a slowpoke that can't get you anywhere, but makes you wait 8 hours before trying!!
Why doesn't the film admit its lies and come clean about how crappy the EV-1 really was? Chrids Paine is a lying, snot nosed skinny little piece of human garbage that needs a good kick in the balls. If he has any.
It's only too obvious that Kerry has a severe bias against electric cars and Chris Paine and is not very interested in the truth. The truth is that fast charging is available for the EVs of today and even to some extent the EV-1s of times past. The truth is that one doesn't need to fully charge every time one charges up, depending on the car's state of charge when starting to charge and how far one needs to go. The truth is that the second generation of EV-1s had a range of about 120 miles. A 120-mile range is certainly sufficient for a commuter car for large segments of metropolitan populations. If longer ranges are needed, a second car for a family that is a plug-in hybrid can fill that need. EVs are ZEVs, which produce no local pollution, alleviating health risks which kill thousands every year.
BTW, the EV-1 was no slow-poke. It could take many a Porsche off the line.
The EV1 was a beautiful piece of machinery in my eyes. I got to drive the AC propulsion version while the EV1 was still being rolled out and the guy told me I could burn rubber and I thought he was crazy. That was 1997. I'm somewhat of an environmentalist, but why would people want to burn rubber? Such a waste.
Bear in mind that I am not a car officianado, actually I drive a Xebra, but I am aware of what happened during that period and I think the director of "Who Killed the Electric Car?" did come up short in laying blame. Not sure why but he turns it into a mystery at the end and leaves you hanging. My thinking is that the law of Occam's Razor always apply: the simplest of competing theories should be preferred over the more complex.
You know what the biggest problem with electric cars is?
They don't use gas.
Since the electric car is far from dead, the question, "who killed the electric car?" is mute. The electric car is a near thing, but we will have to learn with its limitations. The rational for the move to electrical autos will be more economic that "green." Electricity is cheaper than oil, and the price difference can be expected to increase. Watch what happens this Christmas as consumers have to choose between buying Christmas presents and paying of gas to drive their cars to work. There is a market for elerctric cars, and it will grow as the price of gas grows higher.
Subaru and other Japanese car makers are developing 130 range plug in electrical cars. Current electrical car plans focus on batteries, but ultracapacitor technology is promising and have several advantages over conventional batteries, Ultracapacitor will probably end up being much cheaper than comprobable batteries, recharge far more quickly, will last the lifetime of a car, and do not have overheating problems.
Urban freight can be transported by electrically powered trucks.
We have to get use to the idea of recharging our cars every day, A 130 mile range will take care of most of our urban transportation needs, but does not work for long trips. People who want cars that can handle longer trips can choose plug-in hybrids. One advantage to going to Electrical cars (and trucks) in urban settings is decreased health care expenses.
Air pollution caused by auto and truck emissions are associated with acute respiratory illnesses, and can trigger heart attacks. Many hospital emergency room admissions are associated with high levels of air pollution from auto and truck exhaust.
Switching to electrical cars is not going to cost us more than buying conventional new cars, and in fact electrical cars and trucks will be cheaper to operate, and will save on medical insurance.
Much as I distrust corporate America, I just don't understand the "EVs are here, but car companies choose not to make them" argument. As I see it, you can be arguing one of two things. Either
1. No money can be made on EVs (or, say, less money than can be made on ICE cars), or,
2. Money can be made on EVs, but each and every car company is willingly foregoing that money.
Neither of those seems likely. Why would Toyota and Honda be willing to be the first to put hybrids on the road but not be willing to try selling EVs?
It just doesn't make sense to me. I would be grateful if someone could explain.
It seems more likely to me that the market for limited range cars is small because most people would like to use their car for the occasional long range trip even if most of their trips are less than 100 miles long.
(I also have a question about battery life – how come my laptop batteries degrade in a couple of years and the batteries of the plug-in car last forever?)
Sortition, You raise several interesting issues. Hybrids will not eliminate the use of fossil fuel engines, but given enough battery or capacitor range – say 200 kilometers – the engine will seldom be started, and will almost exclusively used for occasional long trips. Will consumers be willing to forgo the ability to take trips in their cars? I doubt it, even if a gasoline motor costs extra, and is seldom used.
No one is talking about trucks. Urban deliveries and shipping often involve vehicles that are 100% dedicated to intraurban trips. Given a sufficient capacitor range, there would seem to be no reason why trucks could not forgo mounting even an engine.
Capacitors have a clear advantage over batteries. They have similar storage potential per unit of weight. They can be quickly recharged. They will probably be cheaper to manufacture given a mass market, and they will last for the life of the car. Range requires weight. Weight is less a problem for trucks than for cars.
In the past EVs were more novelties, rather than serious transportation vehicles. The cost of gas is turning EVs into serious transportation options at a time when rapidly maturing technology is making them into a realistic option. The EV is well suited for urban use, and the case for them is very strong. They are quieter. Unlike fossil fuel vehicles, EVs emit no toxic pollutants that damage people's health. They do not emit CO2 directly, and they electricity generation can be CO2 free. Electricity is cheaper to buy than gasoline.
Since most people don't use the dealer for oil changes it's absurd to think that factors into car company decisions. Car companies (and aftermarket producers) make money on replacement parts. Car dealers make money on repair services. Electric cars will still need parts, repair and maintenance.
GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz demonstrated that he understands the market GM faces very well:
Question: "I'm sure you're familiar with the report from the Department of Energy that stated that the existing utility grid in the U.S. could accommodate approximately 140 million plug-in hybrids right now (our reporter was dizzy from all the new iron around him – the actual number stated by the DOE in the report was 180 million). Has GM been in contact with the DOE or any of the utility companies regarding this conclusion?"
Lutz: "No, although our research gives a smaller number than the DOE report, but it's still a pretty big number. That's the great thing about the Volt or an EV, it runs on something that is cheap and readily available in this country, doesn't require pumps, pipelines, you know? It's an even better situation in other countries like France; they have nuclear power that supplies cheap electricity, and if we had that here, we sure wouldn't need much gasoline or imported oil for cars."
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Lutz gave every indication that he views the EV as the future of GM: "It is aggressive," Lutz said of the target, "but we're not going to let up" on development of the concept car's drivetrain, which combines advanced lithium ion batteries – a still unproven technology – with plug-in capability for recharging from household current and a small gasoline engine to keep the batteries charged on trips longer than 40 miles.
"There's a showdown at the O.K. Corral coming" over the competing battery technology of GM and Toyota according to Lutz. "It's not a short-term effort" to make Chevrolet a global environmental leader, Lutz said. "It's not an advertising campaign. It's a global long-term commitment to technology."
Well now there you have it from Lutz;s mouth. Did GM kill the Electric Car, or are they betting the company ob it?
Less money can be made on pure EVs because they don't require the constant oil changes and the like that car companies make so much money on. This would not be true of PHEVs.
It seems like something is missing, no?
