Richmond debates whether to declare state of emergency
Associated Press | June 22 2005
Stunned by a spate of unsolved slayings, the city debated into the morning Wednesday about whether to declare a state of emergency, a move that could lead to additional police patrols and surveillance cameras in troubled neighborhoods.
Richmond's public safety committee voted Monday to recommend that the nine-member City Council declare a state of emergency in nine neighborhoods. The council heard from scores of residents Tuesday night at a meeting that drew hundreds of people. The council hadn't voted on the proposal as of early Wednesday morning.
Mayor Irma Anderson supported increased funding for police and more help from state, county and federal law enforcement to help stem the violence, but was opposed to the measure.
"A local declaration of emergency is used when you want to bring in the National Guard, impose curfews and suspend constitutional rights and due-process procedures," she said. "I do not believe that any of those actions would resolve the crisis we currently face."
Richmond has reported 17 killings in the city this year, compared to 36 slayings in 2004. Eight people have been killed in Richmond in the past two weeks. Police say some of the violence this year has been caused by increasing gang rivalries and errant gunfire.
"This madness has got to end," said the Rev. Andre Shumake, who works at the North Richmond Missionary Baptist Church. "You've got to understand - innocent people are being killed. We're tired of this carnage."
While many mourning family members carrying signs with photos of slain loved ones urged the council to adopt the resolution, the city's mayor and some of the council members spoke out against it.
Anderson said the move could lower property values, increase homeowner insurance and discourage outside private investment. She also said the resolution "gets us dangerously close to the path of a perpetual police state controlled by big brother."
"This declaration does not provide any long-term solutions to our problems," Anderson added. "We need a far more comprehensive and strategic approach to the problem, not a short-term Band-Aid solution."
Anderson also pointed out that crime has fallen 6.7 percent since last year and nonfatal shootings are down over the past decade.
The move would also allocate nearly $2 million in city funds in a 15 month-period for 15 new police officers, surveillance cameras and drug-sniffing dogs. The city is still recovering from a $35 million budget shortfall last year.
As part of the resolution, Richmond would request temporary help from the California Highway Patrol, the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department and state parole agents. Deputies and CHP officers would add extra traffic patrols and free up Richmond police to pursue drug dealers.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Indiana State
baseball team claimed the Missouri Valley Conference regular season
championship on Thursday night, topping the visiting Missouri State Bears by a
score of 6-3 in front of a season-high 717 fans at Bob Warn Field at Sycamore
The regular season championship is the fourth in school history for Indiana State, joining the 1982, 1983 and 1985 teams. For the first time in school history, the Sycamores picked up an outright regular season championship as the 1982 and 1983 teams won the East Division of the MVC while the 1985 squad tied with Wichita State.
The Sycamores (41-13, 14-5 MVC) got going quickly on Thursday night, plating one run in the first inning. Freshman Landon Curry led off the game with a single to center, scoring two batters later when junior Jeremy Lucas brought him home with a single to center. The run was the first earned run allowed in MVC play by Missouri State starter Nick Petree, breaking a string of 38 consecutive scoreless innings since April 6 and his first earned run allowed since March 2 (73 innings).
ISU made it 3-0 in the bottom of the second inning when Curry's line drive to left went over the head of the MSU left fielder Dylan Becker, allowing senior Ryan Walterhouse and redshirt junior Koby Kraemer to score on the play.
Missouri State (35-18, 11-7 MVC) got back into the game with a two-run single by Brent Seifert in the third inning before tying the score in the fourth on a two-out double by Eric Cheray.
After leaving the bases loaded in the fourth and two on in the fifth, Indiana State regained the lead for good in the sixth, taking advantage of a key mental mistake by Missouri State. With the bases loaded and two outs, senior Lucas Hileman hit a high bounding ball to short that Cheray fielded, but when he looked to throw to second base, MSU's Kevin Medrano was not at the base. Cheray double-clutched and threw to first, but Hileman beat the throw and Curry scored on the play to put ISU in front 4-3.
The Sycamores tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth, as senior Kyle Burnam led off the inning with a double before scoring on Lucas' triple down the right field line. Lucas would score with two outs in the inning on passed ball by MSU catcher Luke Voit.
Junior Dakota Bacus (7-3) earned the victory, tossing his third complete game of the season. The ISU hurler struck out five batters while scattering eight hits and allowing three runs (two earned).
Burnam, Hileman and Lucas led ISU with three hits on Thursday, while Curry went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBIs and two runs scored. Lucas also drove in two runs. ISU's 15 hits as a team where the most for the Sycamores in MVC play this season.
Indiana State and Missouri State continue their series on Friday night, as the Sycamores send sophomore southpaw Sean Manaea (5-1, 3.09 ERA) to the mound against junior right-hander Cody Schumacher (7-1, 4.02 ERA) for the Bears.

Halifax Regional Police officers are out in force at Public Gardens in Halifax
Jeff Harper - Metro Halifax
Published on June 09, 2014
A Halifax Regional Police stands inside the Public Gardens on Monday after police received a report of a suspicious person.
Jeff Harper - Metro Halifax
Police in Halifax evacuated the Public Gardens for approximately two hours Monday over a report of a gun inside the popular green space.
Halifax Regional Police spokesman Const. Pierre Bourdages said they received a call at 11:06 a.m. regarding someone acting suspiciously inside the Gardens.
A 24-year-old man was later arrested by police, and the Gardens is locked down as the investigation unfolds.
Bourdages said someone heard a man talking to himself about there being a gun hidden inside the park, and that information was given to someone else, who then called police.
"There's no indication or sighting of a firearm," said Bourdages, as officers have descended upon the Gardens in search of a possible weapon.
"We have to take these complaints seriously. .. We are ensuring the park is safe."
A witness tells Metro he saw a man walking through the Gardens who started saying "nonsensical things" to a couple.
When police arrived, the witness said the man, who didn't have a weapon, was arrested.
At about 12:20 p.m. Monday, a police K-9 team arrived on scene.
Bourdages said the 24-year-old is now detained at HRP headquarters and is being questioned by investigators.
The park reopened around 1 p.m.

STARKVILLE, Mississippi -- Senior Tyler Russell will be Mississippi State's starting quarterback tonight against Alabama.
The status of sophomore Dak Prescott, who injured his elbow last week at Texas A&M, remains uncertain. Prescott has started six games and leads the Bulldogs with 1,542 passing yards, 722 rushing yards and a combined 17 touchdowns.
Russell completed 8-of-14 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown last week at Texas A&M. He's started the past two games against Alabama, completing 28-of-55 passes for 279 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
Russell, who opened the season at Mississippi State's starter, isn't much of a threat to run the ball like Prescott. He has just 6 rushing yards on the season.
"Both of them are big tall
quarterbacks and both of them can run the ball well and they like to spread the
ball out, especially with formations and get guys out of the box," Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley said Wednesday. "We have to
do a good job playing a five-man box and try to contain the quarterback runs,
because once those guys get going, it's kind of hard to stop them."

Surface temperatures of the building envelope can sometimes reach extreme values due to solar radiation, which can increase temperatures by 20 or 30 °C. In fact, radiation from the roof to the sky can actually decrease surface temperatures. It therefore becomes difficult to predict what temperature range to expect, unless you have lots of field experience in a given climate.
The same problem was discovered in the design of solar energy collectors, where it was useful to know the surface temperature of the collector plate in evaluating the effectiveness of the solar collection system. Designers at Levelton Consultants Ltd. thought that it would be useful to characterize the effects of solar heating, independent of whatever was being heated. A concept known as sol-air temperature was used to characterize the "effective" temperature of the air just above the surface, which took into account the effect of solar heating. From there, one could figure in the effect of local wind and geometry to predict surface temperature.
Click here to learn more
As it happens, engineers don't really like fictitious temperatures. So when the Roofing Contractors Association of British Columbia (RCABC) asked Levelton to come up with a way to predict the effects of solar heating for a given location and roof system, they thought that the sol-air temperature would be just the thing, if they modified it to represent a "real" temperature. In fact, they suggested that one could use the sol-air temperature as a direct predictor of surface temperature, as they suspected that an insulated roof (nominally R28 or R40, say) would experience relatively little heat transfer between the surface of the roof and the building under it.
For portability and simplicity, the sol-air calculation tool was developed as a spreadsheet application. A quick calculation was desired, but a single instantaneous calculation was not considered to be useful. Monthly or annual results would produce a large amount of output data that would be confusing, and would slow down the calculation, so a diurnal temperature profile was determined to be the most useful form of output.
Figure 1: Screen capture from sol-air temperature calculator.
Comparison to Monitored Data
Levelton installed monitoring systems on several metal roof systems in Vancouver and Whistler. The direction, location and surface type of the roof systems varied, but the measured maximum surface temperatures are compared with the computed values in the following table:
The only agreement in the above cases occurs on the north panel of a roof in Vancouver, which happens to be insulated (all other panels in the above table were uninsulated metal roofs above vented attic space). This underlines a key aspect of sol-air temperature: it is a surface effect only, and its development ignores heat transfer from the surface to the underlying structure.
Comparison to Calculated Data
The hypothesis that an insulated assembly would be an appropriate subject for sol-air analysis was tested by comparing results from the sol-air calculator with more detailed finite-volume models of assemblies of interest.
A copper-clad roof was investigated to estimate expected surface temperature under sunlit conditions. This roof had been leaking and was to be repaired. The existing assembly relied on the copper sheeting for waterproofing, and the many joints and seams in the roofing panels provided several potential avenues for leaks. The preferred repair would install a waterproofing membrane, but as a heritage assembly, the exterior appearance of the roof was to be maintained. The proposed solution was to install a self-adhered membrane covered with copper cladding, but solar heating on the metal surface could heat the surface above the service temperature of the self-adhered membrane. The result could be softening of the adhesive mastic behind the self-adhered membrane, or melting of the membrane itself. The sol-air calculator predicted a surface temperature of 91.2°C, and the finite-volume calculation predicted 96.8°C, within a reasonable level of accuracy. Thus, Levelton had some confidence that the expected surface temperature of this roof would exceed 90°C. As a consequence, they specified a high-temperature self-adhered membrane for this application, with a softening temperature of over 110°C (rather than the standard membrane that softens at 60°C).
Thus, the insulated roof approximates the condition of an adiabatic assembly, and therefore the sol-air analysis is suitable for this condition. It doesn't work well for an uninsulated assembly, but the result actually overpredicts surface temperature, which is a conservative result so one could use it in that case as well. Where sol-air calculation is appropriate, it provides a simple tool to estimate surface temperatures without the need for detailed and complex computer modelling. This tool can be used with some confidence to predict the effect of solar heating on surface temperatures of insulated assemblies during the service life of the system. It would be possible to expand the sol-air tool to include nighttime cooling, or locations other than British Columbia, but that was beyond the scope of the investigation upon which this paper is based.

DEPTFORD TWP. — The Gloucester County Swim Championships were already featuring an exciting conclusion with two records getting broken back-to-back by Clearview Regional High School and it appearing a third was imminent in the final girls event, the 400 freestyle relay.
Instead, a disqualification led to a change in the unofficial team standings and a shocking end to the meet.
The officials ruled a swimmer left the block early, eliminating the team and its meet record and leaving Washington Township at the top of the team standings by four points when the Minutemaids were bumped up after taking second to the Pioneers in the 400 free relay.
Washington Township also won finished first in the boys team standings.
"It was a win no matter what the scoresheet says," said Township girls coach Jessica Slates, who had no idea the meet was that close. "Every girl had best times, unbelievable times. A 2-7 season this year had has them somewhat defeated. I'm just proud of the girls. I said this from the beginning, I can't ask for anything more than your best. They give it to me every single time they step up on that block.
"(Clearview coach Steve Skinner is) a wonderful coach, they have a fabulous team and to win on a DQ (isn't what you want). But that's the nature of the sport."
The Minutemaids didn't have a single win on the night except for the 400 free relay, but got six second-place performances to keep the meet closer than many realized. Senior Brooke Liberto, a member of the 400 free and 200 medley relays who took second in the 100 backstroke, was named girls MVP.
Not a single senior won an individual girls event, and a pair of freshmen won events for teams not necessarily in the running for a title. Deptford's Emily Labenski won the 200 IM (2:18.18) by a second and a half, and Kaitlyn Weatherby gave GCIT its lone win in the 100 butterfly to help the Cheetahs finish 11 points behind Township in third.
"I was hoping (I could win), I've been working really hard at practice," said Weatherby, who was seeded third. "It got me excited, and it got us all pumped up."
"I was happy (with my performance)," Labenski said. "I just sprint it and see what happens. I try to get a best time, go my hardest every time."
Moskalow's record came on the heels of teammate Joseph Lumpkin's new record in the 100 backstroke, surpassing Eric Brumberg's 2002 meet mark with a 53.32. It was one of two wins for the Pioneers boys along with Conrad Eisenhart in the 200 free, and they also finished second to the Minutemen in six events including diving to finish just 29 points behind in second.
"I looked at the meet record because I thought I was close (coming in)," Lumpkin said. "(As soon as I touched I looked at the scoreboard), and then looked at all my friends cheering for me. I know Township has a lot of great swimmers, because we swim with them for GPAC (club swimming). We're all friends."
The Township boys won eight events in all, including an exciting touch-out in the 200 free relay to beat Clearview by .05 seconds. But the team saved its best for last, shaving nearly six seconds off seed time to break the school's 2000 record in the 400 free relay by over a second.
"I've got a lot of seniors this year, the kids really wanted it," said Minutemen coach Bill Albertson. "They said we have to go out with a bang. I wish we swam like this all year long."
Delsea freshman Nick Lyons won the 100 breast, and Nick Stranix of Glassboro won the 500 free for the fourth straight year and was named male MVP.
"I just really thought about winning my race," Stranix said. "All you have to worry about is winning your heat. Times and trophies will come."
The team scoring was removed from the championships a couple of years ago, but remained a focus of the meet — so much so that coaches voted Friday to bring it back officially for next year.

If you follow the UFC you are familiar with arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world in GSP. Especially after Chael Sonnen handed a thorough beat down to GSP's main competitor for the spot, Anderson Silva. Even though Silva eventually won the fight, his untouchable image was forever marred just like his face, when Sonnen shocked the world just as much as he did Silva in their championship bout.
But, back to GSP, he and Koscheck will also be coaching competing ultimate fighting clubs in Dana White's reality show build up to his headliner fights. It should be interesting to watch the two polar opposites in character work their respective stables into fighting shape both mentally and physically.

Have you ever made your own seasoning mixes? It is easy to do and it will save you a lot of time when you are cooking later. We eat a lot of Mexican food and I use all of these spices together on a regular basis. It makes sense for me to prepare a double or triple batch of this seasoning mix and keep it on hand at all times. Just a bit spicier than standard taco mixes and completely adaptable to your individual tastes, these are some of my favorite spices in the kitchen.

Winners Researched Plant Genetics and Traits
Building upon the scientific discovery of the Double Helix structure of DNA in the 1950s, Van Montagu, Chilton, and Fraley each conducted groundbreaking molecular research on how a plant bacterium could be adapted as a tool to insert genes from another organism into plant cells, which could produce new genetic lines with highly favorable traits.
The revolutionary biotechnology discoveries of these three individuals – each working in separate facilities on two continents – unlocked the key to plant cell transformation using recombinant DNA. Their work led to the development of a host of genetically enhanced crops, which, by 2012, were grown on more than 170 million hectares around the globe by 17.3 million farmers, over 90 percent of whom were small resource-poor farmers in developing countries.
From their work in the laboratory to applying biotechnology innovations in farmers' fields, the combined achievements of the 2013 World Food Prize Laureates have contributed significantly to increasing the quantity and availability of food.
Van Montagu is founder and chairman of the Institute of Plant Biotechnology Outreach at Ghent University in Belgium; Mary-Dell Chilton is founder and Distinguished Fellow of Syngenta Biotechnology; and Robert T. Fraley, is executive vice president and chief technology officer of Monsanto.

Going Green
As Lynn University charges into the future, we stand strong in our commitment to create a more sustainable campus, community and planet. Our fragile natural surroundings in South Florida serve as a daily reminder of why our efforts to 'go green' are vital to the longevity and mission of the university.
As part of a comprehensive sustainability plan voted on and approved in 2010, Lynn's Sustainability Committee is focused on improvement in five major areas.
Community and education
Part of our sustainability challenge is to spread the message of conservation to the community and create a culture that encourages continuing education. Here are some ways we're working to achieve this:
- Lynn's Green Lecture Series brings speakers and workshops to campus for faculty, students and staff to stay current on trends and tips related to sustainability. Lecture topics range from recycling to home/dorm energy conservation.
- Lynn students can earn credit in courses that focus on sustainability topics like environmental justice, global warming and alternative energy.
Energy and transportation
To reduce our carbon footprint, Lynn University is committed to making our campus as energy-efficient as possible. To do this, we've partnered with Siemens Building Technologies Division to upgrade our facilities and infrastructure in the largest single-phase university project of its kind in the state of Florida. This 20-year project, when completed, will reduce our campus-wide energy consumption by 50 percent.
And to conserve energy on the road, Lynn is proud to offer the following programs for those seeking alternative modes of transportation:
- UCar Share
- Free bike rentals on campus
- LU Shuttle
- Green Ride Program / Carpool benefits
Landscape and ecology
Our lush campus landscape is designed to utilize native plants and trees that thrive in our sunny South Florida climate. We avoid the use of evasive exotic species that can be a detrimental force on the environment.
In South Florida, water is a precious resource. At Lynn we've installed piping systems that help us take advantage of reclaimed water from the City of Boca Raton, lessening our water-usage impact on the surrounding ecology.
Materials and waste
To cut the amount of trash and waste produced on campus, Lynn places a heavy focus on recycling. Here are a few examples of how we're achieving our goals:
- Recycling bins are highly visible throughout campus.
- 2,500 used light bulbs have been recycled to date
- 245 used mattresses have been returned for recycling
- Printers across campus are set by default to print double-sided to reduce waste
Additional information
Since the Going Green initiative began, we've broken ground on the construction of a new International Business Center. This building is targeting LEED Platinum certification, the highest award for "green" structures. Visit the International Business Center page to learn more.

i got my wii!
Where there any unexpected surprises other than the games we already knew were coming out?
Wrong Section
i got my wii!
Wii Want PES!
Spoiler Alert!Got My Wii
25th December 06
Mum got it me for Xmas
you realize it would be pretty controversial if nintendo made a special suprise just for a Christian Holdiday? Im seeing maybe something cool for the new year, since its celebrated by a vaaaaaast majority
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury.
A Christmas surprise to the US would be ok since a vasssssssssssssst majority of people who celebrate a religious holiday, celebrate Christmas.
Also, it would still be a surprise to everyone. Christian or not, you could still benefit from it!
not unless our country was full of politically correct people who have to **** things up and sue nintendoOriginally Posted by SuperH
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury.
I don't think there would be any grounds for suing. They could release something for free that happens to be on Christmas. If anything, the non-Christians should be content since Christmas is just another day anyway, so they are probably playing with their Wii.

Radio 4 Extra, or Radio 4 depending on whats on.
Never listen to music whilst running but find it strange that during the Great North Run they have the "Nike boost zone" with speakers blaring out areobics type music for about 400 metres. Everyone gets a boost then slow down at the end of the zone!
I listen to traffic.
It's a way of avoiding death by Transit.
depeds on my mood, sometimes i run with nothing, sometimes with comedy podcasts, or music, i often check my own mix's when out running before i put them out for general download.
Like Muttley, I listen to the world around me. The kites don't hang around long enough - the buzzards and ravens chase them off. Occasionally, I run to the sound of posh people shooting pheasants.
last night i ran an extra 3 miles because I got engrossed in a novel and wanted to find out what happened next
Nothing - or rather, I listen to the forest, the birds, the silence etc. Too much noise in the world during the rest of my day, I don't need any distractions from my running, just want some peace and quiet.
Among others,
AC/DC, GNR, Aerosmith, Motorhead!!!!
Pod on shuffle, but varied range, including NIN, AC/DC, 70's disco anthems (!), Seasick Steve, Placebo, Hole, Joy Division, Neil Young , anything but (c)rap !
yeah hiphop is good.

Wow Grendel - I thought I was the only one who ran to symphonic metal!
Nightwish got me through training for last year's VLM - I will be forever grateful
"In The House In A Heartbeat". Best Night time Running track ever. It's the piece featured heavily in the Film 28 Days Later and recently I heard it featured briefly in a Strongbow ad. Creepy and Atmospheric and cool.
I also have "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky on my Ipod for a laugh. Great for climbing a hill to!!
Shall have to look that one up DB - er not the Rocky track I may add
I hate to admit there is a big hill that over looks the Town, I use it for training quite a lot, when nobody is around I have been known to get to the top, do a bit of Shadow Boxing, put my arms in the air like a true Champion and roar like a wounded Lion ala Rocky Balboa.
I saw a Travel Channel programme about the Steps that Rocky runs up in Philadelphia. Apparently people go there to re-enact the scene. I wondered, looking at some of them, whether they had a crash team on permanent standby

A man who asked an acquaintance for a share of his prescription medications wouldn't take no for an answer.
Christopher A. Ohm snatched a bottle of prescription medication from the left front pocket of John Stapinski's sweat pants while Stapinski was standing in the driveway of a home in the 400 block of West Garrison St., Bethlehem, at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.
Ohm grabbed the bottle after Stapinski had refused to give Ohm some of his medications, officials said, adding that Ohm and Stapinski knew one another.
Ohm made his move after Stapinski became distracted by some children he was watching.
Ohm, 27, of 813 Cherokee St., Fountain Hill, Lehigh County, was arraigned early Wednesday morning on charges of robbery and receiving stolen property and committed to the Northampton County Prison on $3,500 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. July 26.

ALBANY - Republican Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan said yesterday he has agreed to debate state Sen. Eric Schneiderman next week.
Donovan said there are "stark differences" between them and he noted his experience as a law enforcement officer and Schneiderman's background as a legislator. Asked about Schneiderman's challenge to debate approaches to crime on Wall Street, Donovan said: "We'll fight corruption where corruption is."
Meanwhile, Schneiderman has won the Democratic nomination for attorney general and now his four primary rivals have closed ranks and endorsed him.
Absent yesterday for Schneiderman was an endorsement announcement from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic front-runner for governor. "That is something we will address down the road," Cuomo told reporters.
Standing with Schneiderman yesterday in Manhattan, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice and former Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo endorsed him. Assemblyman Richard Brodsky and former trial attorney Sean Coffey issued statements in support.
Their shared ideals include stopping criminals, protecting individuals and seeing government as a means "to level the playing field," Dinallo said.
"Eric will be a tough, smart advocate for all New Yorkers," Ms. Rice said.
* Donovan, Schneiderman trade barbs
While Ms. Rice endorsed Schneiderman, Donovan said he would not endorse Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, for instance, because the code of ethics for district attorneys prohibits them from making political endorsements.Ms. Rice said later that her endorsement of Schneiderman does not present an ethical conflict because she has no power to investigate him. She said district attorneys routinely debate the ethics of endorsements and it's up to each to decide.
She said she seldom makes endorsements, adding that she thinks it's appropriate especially for a race that she was in.
"The elected district attorneys are politicians whether they want to say it or not," she said.
A series of opinions by the State Bar Association Committee on Professional Ethics has concluded that "the duties of a prosecutor are in major respects incompatible with partisan political activity" except their own campaigns. "A prosecuting attorney should not be a member of a committee of a political party or a member of a political club, or campaign for or endorse candidates for public office except for endorsing a successor candidate."

I purchased a Titan watch (Model No: 98158202) for my sister from Hyderabad Central Mall, Panjagutta, Hyderabad on July 30, 2014 for 5000/- rupees.
After using for few months, it's leather strap got detached from the dial and I approached The World of Titan showrooms at the same shop (Central Mall), The World of Titan (Panjagutta) and The World of Titan (City Center Mall, Banajara Hills, Hyderabad) for its repair under period of 2 years warranty which is effective till July 30, 2016.
I'm tired of visiting the service center several times but neither they replace the strap under warranty clause nor against payment, with the pretext that the required strap is not in their stock.
I bought a fastrack watch for 1885 INR at Coimbatore. After a month the front glass cracked and it doesn't cover warranty. Why would we spend so much money for a watch which doesn't meet resistance. The watches should be more durable, hard to break and resistant to external forces. My watch just fell down and it got crack. Such a great brand with a very poor model of design. Designers should think in a way such that it would satisfy the purpose and money people invest.
Dear Team,
I purchased a Xylus watch around 2 years back on 15/6/2014. To my utter surprise and disappointment the strap broke in March 2016. Was picked up from my residence on 31st March 2016 by Titan Watch Care Dadar East Mumbai. There was no update thereafter from the service center, when contacted first there was a denial that the such watch has been even received by them.On giving reference number someone said that the they did not have strap with them and they will place order with Bangalore plant. The same would take 20 days. Whenever contacted in between they maintained that the order had been placed on plant and will be delivered by month end( April-16). There has been no update in between. When contacted today they again denied receiving such watch. When reminded of the receipt they updated that brown strap is not there with them and I will have to do with black strap if i wanted the watch. Brown will take indefinite time. Am surprised and disappointed that even for a premium watch like Xylus Titan can treat customer this way. How do you expect to compete in premium watch space with this kind of service back up. Expecting to hear from you on my watch.
Order No. EC00082924
I am chasing Titan watches for long time, as even after 20 days are over but still I have not got refund.
There is no communication on mails and vague reply like we are looking into matter are provided. EC00082924.
Below are list of troubles faced by me:
1) Received faulty watch (19 jan), went to showroom 30km away, got repaired, didn't worked next day.
2) After numerous mails, tweets Titan associate came to collect watch (5th feb).
3) Still chasing Titan for my money refund, Its already 20 days overs since watch was collected and over a month sonce I revived faulty watch
Website says 7 day return policy which seems to be a big joke in my case.
This is one of the worst online shopping experience till date for me.
There is no proper escalation matrix available on website.
I have seen many complaints which tally my bad luck for having bought Tata watch after my fossil watch went for repair to Banglore after 5 years of great functioning. I though i should buy Tata watch as it has great name so went to Titan showroom in chandigarh Kapoor jewellers sector 17. Bought a ceremic model 90015KL01J watch in July 24/07/2015 which stopped working in Aug. Deposited the same in the service centre 21/08/2015 vide Ref Id. 815AN0231B1580 and till date 25 Nov 2015 I am waiting for my watch. I have got extended warranty of 5 years and i think it meant that watch would remain with titan service centre for next 5 years. I have made various rounds to service centre but no answer and my Fossil watch has come back as promised by their service centre. i am sorry to say but the level of efficiency differ a lot between Fossil and Titan. Titans' service staff is blank and without any answers. They must learn some ideas from fossil who are quick to respond and help.
I have purchased a fast track wristwatch for my daughter from TITAN Showroom at shankar nagar ,Nagpur.Recently I went there to get the belt replacement.The service person denied to accept watch as he did not have stock of belts.when enquired to showroom counter person he asked to come after 15 days or else go to another fast track shop which is owned by them as told by him.the tone and bahavior was so rude and arrogant as never expected nor experienced in relation to any tata venture.it is not WORLD OF TITAN BUT SEEMS TO BE WORST OF TITAN.
Hi Team,
I have a Titan Octane, Model no.9187SHO2 K622 (as specified on the receipt of purchase). I want to change the metal strap, current one is worn-out.
I went to the World of Titan in Aundh, Pune. They confirmed that Titan does not make the model any more and it will be impossible to get that strap any more.
I want to request you guys to turn some stone and provide the strap to me. The watch carries a special emotional value to me. And I want that fixed.
Expecting a positive response on this. NEED HELP.
Dear Titan,
I am Ashish Gaurav and I bought a Titan Automatic watch from Delhi this year on 20th/01/2014. Barely 8 months passed when the watch developed problem, the screw of the automatic watch came out and the watch stopped working.
Sine the watch was in warranty, I took it to you service center Titan Care in Noida Sector 18 on 10/08/2014. Reference id 814AN0821B1575
I was told that Automatic watches don't get repaired, the whole machine inside will get changed from Bangalore apparently and all this would take 20-25 days. The Approximate delivery time was written as 10/09/2014, that was one month from the date of giving the watch for servicing. After that I have done multiple follow up and have visited the service center, it has been more than 2 months and still I have not got my watch. I have been mislead multiple time and have been given tentative dates by when watch will be repaired but it has not been done.
I was told I will be called in 20-25 days when watch is repaired, but I did not get any call.
I visited service center after the Delivery date 10/09/2014 and was told that watch has been couriered from Bangalore will reach in a couple of days.
After two days I got a call that there was some problem, in getting the spare parts and it will the watch will get delivered by 20/09/2014 and I will get a call.
I did not get any call. I called on 8/10/2014, I was told again that watch has been couriered from Bangalore will reach on a few days.
I called yesterday on 10/10/2014 and inquired about the watch since two months have passed since I gave it for servicing. The service center person told me its unusual and that he would call me in 10 minutes after checking the status/problem.
I did not get any call.
I called today on 11/10/2014 and after repeated plea have been told that my watch has not been couriered from Bangalore, infact it has been sent on this 8th to Bangalore…that is after nearly two months of giving it for service. And they cannot tell a time frame as to when I would get the watch.
I am very disappointed with the service of TITAN, after two months they have still not been able to service the watch which is under warranty. I have been given wrong information/false promises.
If you can't fix the watch please refund my money or replace the watch with a new watch.
Ashish Gaurav
I have given my Titan Obaku Watch for service on September 16th 2014 at Ash & Aish Associates – Titan World Chennai.
No one is attending the call from my showroom and it is more that 3 weeks already. When I contacted in person they said that it is with the company and they will let me know the status, when I checked the status online its showing status pending and I am getting the same status when I called the customer service (1800-266-0123) too. I need to know the status of my watch and I am already frustrated with your poor service. Please look into this ASAP.
I went to TITAN showroom….located at Opp.Rajkot Gymkhana..Trikon baug..Rajkot….to change leather strap. First I went on Thursday 30th May 2013…shop was closed then I went on 1st June 2013 in evening hours (6:30 to 7:00 PM)…they refused to attend saying that service and repair counter is closed however they were welcoming and attending other new customers without any hassle. Later I went to this shop on 3rd June 2013 in afternoon hours (around 12 to 12 :30 PM)….Firstly again they refused me to attend as I was service customer ….then I told them that this is my third attempt here to reach them ….they accepted me and attended me as follows. They showed me several belts which I did not like…so I asked for the same belt that I have ….they told me to place new order for this …They told me that it will take 20 to 25 days after I place order and pay for the same……
Now….who the hell on earth will pay in advance and wait for his stuff for 20 to 25 days ?
I told them to expedite the delivery little earlier if possible…they totally denied it and left me alone in shop by attending other sales customers ….First time I felt regretful for my purchase of anything…they were least interested in selling the strap to me when I intended to buy it …My fault was only that I wanted the stuff that is not available in store …they did not even care to ask me or discuss or negotiate the delivery time because they were interested in 3000 Rs sales instead of 300 Rs strap. This is ridiculous service I have even seen in my life …I left shop with heavy heart with feeling that I may chosen wrong brand. I felt regretful to buy this world class product …they are ahead in selling the product and big ZERO in after sales service …..
I decided not to buy new strap and add 1000 Rs to my budget and buy new watch with some other brand, atleast I would be satisfied that I have not purchased any recognized brand so I would not get any after sales service.
This is Sumod From Mysore.
I have purchased a Titan (DA305) watch on 20th March 2012 from World of Titan,Mysore and after that, two times I got it serviced because of intermittent stoppage of the Watch.First time from the shop itself and Second time got serviced from factory itself,since service center person couldn't find what the real problem was.And from factory,they informed me that they have replaced the entire machinery and assured me that there won't be any issues there after.
Now after 5 months it got stopped again. It's very disgusting that I've to keep the watch in service centers more time than I can really have the watch with me, that too after Purchasing from a branded company like TITAN.
Please advise what I have to do with this watch.
I purchased this fasttrack watch model (no 9332pga) from bangalore, India almost eight months back.. but now its strap got cut. I asked more than 4 shops and servicing centre here. But i dint get any helpful information from them.. If Titan couldn't help the customers why they are selling such products inthe market.
Think Titan should stop making any more wrist watches, and spare all time to fix the mess that is out in market. Myself purchased titan very expensive 8500 rupees watch, in first three months battery went dead, they replaced it, later had water proofing problem, sent to work shop took three weeks, later after 12 months again water started getting in, again they fixed it for free, NOW it has COMPLETELY STOPPED. What a pity, returned to Titan asked them to keep it it their safe or collectors cabinet, just give me a letter saying gave this watch has been given in donation to poor Titan Co. Sorry.
I have bought Titan Watch on 01.02.2010 model no.9211 sm05 from Kalyani Nagar Pune Titan Outlet, suddenly two months back, day hand is came out, I had given for repair two times in Jangli Maharaj Road Time care centre, but still it is same and in unrepaired condition.
My contact no is 9860603733, please let me know how i will get GOOD repair of my valuable watch.
I had purchased Titan Raga watch from one of your outlets in Pune, Baner area , Titan one shop opposite to Big Bazaar.
The watch was purchased on 13/02/2013 and was non functional the next day itself. It costed me Rs. 4500 and when I approached the shop, the shopkeeper tried to convince me the watch had issues while shipping. He told me to keep the watch with him and he will get the machine changed and to come back after 5-6 days. After lot of waiting he finally called me on 26/02/2013 to collect the watch and i noticed the watch was still non functional. He than removed the machine from one of the functional watches and replaced it to make it working. I am really disappointed with the service provided, the amount of embarrassment and time that was wasted for this. This incident has really put a very bad impression about Titan.
Can anybody in TITAN clarify the following?
1) I have a reference ID for depositing a defective product : 1112A802217B1613. The present position of the referred ID is not available. The service centre also says it is yet to be received from the company.
2) Discounted rate products are available in the stores. People at the show room says that discount rate is not applicable for the replacement cash voucher and as such I have to pay the full amount for the new purchase. Is it true?
3) Whether the customer is bound to purchase another product from the same agency where I deposited my defective product?
With regards
I have purchased watch of approx. Rs.2300 design no NA9324SM05 on 22.07.2012 in 20% off scheme in the month of july-12. That watch started giving trouble in November, not showing correct time. I showed it to an authorised center from where I purchased but they replied that the watch has moment problem and it must be changed for a cost of Rs 400. I was shocked how major parts needed replacement within 6 months after I purchase. The watch is even under warranty period. This is not fair guys. It is really bad business.
I have given my Titan Watch Design No. 1918YM01 on 15.11.2012 to THE WORLD OF TITAN VIDYASONS, Banwaris Plaza, 1, Ambedkar Road, Ghaziabad (U.P.) Tel. : 0120-4120727, 4120728. Vide Ref. Id: 1112AN0591B1549 and TIN NO. 09490502720. According to this delivery date was given 20.11.2012. When I gone to collect the Watch that time it was told to me that the glass of watch was not available so due to that they could not change my glass. As it was looking so ugly since it was necessary to change the glass, so I left my watch and they have asked me to collect this after 3-4 days but today I send my wife and my son to collect this watch, It was strange to listen the reply that the glass was not available due to that the watch was in same condition today also.
May I know that was my watch out of fashion? Why the glass is not available after so many days? The employee Mr. Vishnu was not giving any Phone Number of competent authority and complain register was not given to write this complain. The watch is still with them. Showroom Manager Mob. No. was also not given. Please look into this matter.
A pair of fast track sunglasses was purchased on 1st week of july, 2012 from Salt Lake Big Bazaar Outlet, Kolkata. One of the glasses became loose and needed repair for which it was taken to the World of Titan, Gariahaat outlet, kolkata on 29-10-2012. The pair was given for repair along with the case/cover as well as the guarantee card. While returning the same pair after repair on 6-11-2012 the service cente people denied to return back the case of the sunglasses as well the guarantee card, saying that during repair the case and the guarantee card was not given.
I bought my fastrack watch from Delhi (India). After one year my watch glass broken in an accident and when I submitted it to service centre they are telling that they don't know how much time company will take because company is not having such watch in their current production . Please if possible help me because i can't buy watches every time and I am facing this problem from last 2 month .
I'm a loyal customer of Titan watches. In the past I have purchased a lot of watches for gifting it to my parents and family members, and I'm really proud to say that I never received any complaints. However I purchased a new Titan Orion Watch on 07th August, 2011 from the 13 MG Road Camp, Pune01 (Model No – 9202SAA,30M SS Baack)( 9202SL01). This was the first Titan watch that I purchased for my Personal Usage. The watch was no doubt worth the cost. I got a lot of compliments and I also suggested the brand to a lot of my friends and colleagues.
However 100 days back(July 12), to my surprise that glass of my designer watch was broken automatically. I went to the authorized service center (World of Titan, 13 MG Road Camp, Pune01 ) and was really treated in a bad way. I knew that it may be not considered in warranty and was ready to pay for changing the Glass. I submit my watch in service center (World of Titan, 13 MG Road Camp, Pune01) complaint no/acknowledgement no 546 on 24 July 2012. I was told i would be contacted within 2 Days but i was not contacted. I called them every 10 days till 20 Oct 2012 but i was given no response. Every day i was said they will call me in 12 hrs. I was continuously harassed by them mentally and my time was also wasted in discussing my problem every day with new executive.
Later I told them if glass is not available please return my Designer watch but they replied saying they sent my watch to Service Center. On 20 Oct 2012 they gave my watch (AFTER THREE MONTH) but the condition of Designer Watch was not good to use. I think some person used my watch for personal use. This is really a very bad experience for me.
I have purchased watch ( Model No- NA9322WL01 ) dt-27/6/12, few days back i have lost its back cover. How it has been lost i am also surprised. This has happened with me for the first time as i am using many of the Titan watches since long. The watch is still in working condition. I have lodged the complaint with ID no-265956 and looking forward to get free replacement as watch is in working condition and doesn't have physical damage. I have purchased from M/s S.H.Mumtazuddin 4, Radha Bazar Kolkata-1.
Hi, I visited world of Titan outlet located in Phoenix Mall, Pune for buying a watch and battery replacement. I was surprised by the class of so called service rendered to me. Firstly, I was made to wait for at least 20 mins for getting the replaced battery. There were hardly any customers in the outlet. After 20-25 mins he came with the watches and asked to pay Rs 450/- for the battery replaced in 3 basic watches.by this time i changed my miind of buying watch from this particular store. He didn't give any bill. When I asked about the bill, i was made to wait again for aprox 20 mins and finally he gave a manual bill. The owner of the shop kept playing on her I phone without noticing the customer. I am also surprised about the charges they levied for battery replacement. I don't think it costs more than 50-60 bucks for a basic watch.
Is the way a modern Retail outlet works?
I have purchased a FastTrack Sun-glass that was defective. I have returned back that to the shop and got a credit note , but now I am unable to find a good replacement from titan stores. I lost faith over fasttrack, i dont want to purchase fasttrack again but the credit note is forcing me to purchase from fasttrack again. Why the hell cant I get my money back? The product was after all defective.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your reply, Now my credit note has been expired. I tried calling on the toll free number, actually I am tired of doing that, they work like robots, they have memorized answers for everything, they don't want to give us satisfying answers, they are only doing their jobs.
They told me that credit note is valid all over India but when I visited a store in Kota, Rajasthan they told me it is not valid in Rajasthan.
Why Titan is forcing me to purchase their products in replacement, why don't you give me my money back with the same respect by which I bought it?
This is a clear corruption and loot, once a person bought something means the money is gone from customer's pocket to company's pocket forever, no matter the product is good or bad, if it is bad then he has to purchase something else from the same company. Don't you feel that it is bad ?
Does Govt authorize you to issue credit note of short periods in replacement ? I don't think so. if yes then I have to go to court against that.
As Discussed ,I went to your Fastrack store (A A Enterprises Abu lane Meerut) on 19 Aug 12 to replace my watch strap. Store staff asked me to pay Rs.300 for strap + Rs.50 for Labor charge. I told them it is ok with me & paid the same amount through my credit card. But they have provide me invoice of Rs.300.I want to know reason for the same that why they have charged me Rs.350 & generated invoice of Rs 300.Today you have informed me that company will never charge any additional charge to
change the strap (Labor charge).I request you to take Necessary action against the same complaint

i have purchased a TITAN EDGE watch at Lakshmipuram Main Road, Guntur- 522 007 on 15.01.2012 @ Rs.7200/- (variant no. NA1044SL01, Discription Q564L). After 4 months the leather strap got teared at pinning point. The seller told there was no guarantee to the leather strap even for one month. Within one month, the watch stopped for that the seller told in arrogance that dust got into and advised me to come after one hour to clear the dust. When i came back, he told me there is a problem in the machine, to service it he told me that he will call me after 10 days. This is the fate of a TITAN EDGE watch that has a slogan that says 30 months water resistance and 2 years manufacturing defects. One of my friend commented that a watch bought on foot path some two years back is doing well and am ashamed for spending money on TITAN EDGE. i suspect the dealer sold me a substandard watch and cheated me.

This is with regard to a fastrack watch purchased on 12-03-12 from Elgin road World of Titan at Kolkata, Model No.: NA9827PP01.
It has a white coloured plastic strap. I was guided by the sales executive that the strap is completely washable & any kind of dirt or stain will be removed easily by taking a little liquid soap in cotton and running it on the strap. The white colour of the strap has got discoloured & turned reddish within a month after purchase. I tried cleaning it in the same way as guided but there was no change in the colour of the strap.
On 03-06-2012, I visited the watch care section at World of Titan at Mani Square Mall for getting the strap cleaned or replaced. There I was told nothing can be done as the strap is not covered under any warranty and I have to purchase a new strap for my watch. The new strap was also not available as the watch was newly launched 6 months back.
This kind of mis-guiding selling is not expected from TITAN, No. 1 watch Co. in India.
This is not a complain for only for the amount I will have to pay for a new strap but to highlight the poor controls for monitoring the processes at Titan. This experience is incredible for me in the last 15 years of association with Titan. You are spoiling your brand image not only with me but with all customers who I come in touch with. I am so so frequent buyer at Titan & am deeply hurt by such a response. My Titan Signet No. is 90475069, from here also my purchases can be tracked & monitored.
I will escalate this harassment to various authorities and will exercise all my rights as a consumer. What is the penalty you are ready to pay for such poor customer services in an industry which is so driven by customer satisfaction. I hope you too believe that "Customer is King" for any service Industry in today's cut-throat completion environment. Seems Titan just wanted to reach up the pinnacle and has no vision to maintain itself as No. 1 Watch Co.
Hope you do the needful as I have done my part of it, as of now.
I also have a similar problem with a ladies watch that I bought for my wife with a white leather band. Within few months, the white colour is going off in patches and the base colour is visible making it really look ugly. The showroom from where I purchased is telling that these are not covered under warranty. Who is going to spend almost 4k for a watch which can not be used more than 6 months? If such is the quality of the product and their post sales service, customer wisdom will spell doom for them.

We purchased battery model # T721 for my Titan watch from Ashok Watch Company, second floor, Sree Shivam Mall, Durg 491001. The cash memo no was 326, dated 6/5/2012. While cost of battery MRP is Rs 34, your dealer has taken Rs 70. This sort of business will affect the brand name of Titan. Please look into ethical business, so consumers like me dont feel cheated.

BURGLARY: A 23-year-old Seattle woman reported some strange circumstances at the house she was watching. When she arrived home at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, she found the front door and sliding door unlocked. A window was open with a screen door placed inside the home. The young woman said several people have access to the house but wasn't able to contact any of them at the time. A social security card, four fine watches, a fisheye underwater camera and $3,000 in cash were later reported stolen. A potted plant was also found broken.
CAR PROWL: An unlocked vehicle parked in the garage at Newell Court apartments reported $1,100 of items stolen. The items stolen included sunglasses, boat registration paperwork and a toolbox full of various tools.
CAR PROWL: A 79-year-old Seattle woman reported her car -- a Pontiac G6 -- prowled at Clarke Beach park between 2 and 2:30 p.m. Her purse and driver's license were among the items stolen.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF: A 43-year-old Bellevue man reported his car vandalized in the parking lot of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, between 10 p.m. on Wednesday and 8:45 a.m. Thursday. Damage was sustained to the hood, windshield, driver's side window and rear door.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF: A 64-year-old Island woman parked her car in her driveway Wednesday evening in the 8700 block of S.E. 45th St. In the morning, the rear window was shattered and a large brick was sitting in the backseat. Nothing was stolen.

Crime statistics for June
In June, there were 82 serious offenses compared to 62 for the same month in 2013.
To date, there have been 414 serious crime incidents.
There were three burglaries in the month of June, significantly fewer than the nine for the same 30-day period in 2013.
There were 45 incidents of theft, roughly the same as last year and 26 cases of identity theft, an uptick from just nine last year.
But maybe most notable were the seven car thefts. There were no thefts in 2013, though some of this year's crimes were resolved with one car later reappearing elsewhere in the city.

This isn't your parents' election!
A completely broad statement in many ways, but thanks to burgeoning social technologies, this election is indeed a special one. Foremost, the meeting of digital media and politics is an important player in this year's presidential election. This time around, we get to see the real affect that social platforms have on big issues. Is social media seriously impacting the election? Will we judge the merit of a candidate based on their ability to tweet? Using platforms like Facebook is a great way to measure the current approval ratings for both Romney and Obama. Sadly, Romney has yet to create his own Pinterest account. Womp womp.
Social Networking
In order to win an election, you need social validation. After a provocative ad or momentous speech, if Obama or Romney sees a spike in their Twitter followers, that's a social thumbs up. Same goes for when a candidate makes a blunder. That candidate will feel the wrath in real time! Bottom line, Romney and Obama can't hide from the public this time around. America is there, glaring at them through their "interactions" tab.
This generation of voters is also big on co-creation. As such, we are seeing a lot of chatter on social networks about the candidates. Memes and infographics have also been a great way to gauge the current political climate. Playing on the friction between Democrats and Republicans, there seems to be a ton of visual content out there with the aim of helping people make informed decisions. Infographics tend to break down complex issues with palatable, ADHD-friendly images.
Sites for the Politically Disinclined
On top of the many hilarious Twitter handles out there, certain sites have come into existence that make the political process a good time. Every 4 years, politicians and campaign managers try to get the "kids" involved with catchy political messages and colorful posters. While the previously mentioned gimmicks might work, sites like "ElectNext" make the voting process clearer and even, dare I say it, fun. A cross between OKCupid and a voting booth, ElectNext helps you choose your ideal candidate through a matching process. First off, you select issues dearest to your heart (i.e. Gun Control, Abortion, Gay Rights). You then answer ten questions on the issues selected. From there, ElectNext finds your "Top Matches", the candidates you best align with. Making the voting process more fab than drab, sites like ElectNext inform, rather than lecture.
Many doubt the impact emerging technologies have on social welfare, but digital media is definitely urging the public to make educated decisions this election. Whether it's through a humorous Twitter account, a Facebook page, or a smashing new site, new media acts as both a thermometer and a classroom for politics.
Well said and yeh socializing through web has to touch elections

Assistant District Attorney John T. O'Neal told police the 9 mm Hi-Point pistol was taken from his unlocked 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe between Dec. 10 and Friday morning. O'Neal told police he had borrowed the gun from his friend, Geoffrey Fogus, who also is an assistant district attorney.

BAYOU LA BATRE, Alabama -- A local teacher was arrested Friday after grand jurors indicted him on a charge of attempted murder in a September shooting at his home.
Martin Ervind Welch, 35, of Bayou La Batre, was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail shortly before 3 p.m. He was released at 3:06 p.m. with bail set at $25,000, according to jail records.
Welch had been on paid administrative leave from Alma Bryant High in south Mobile County since the shooting, school system spokeswoman Nancy Pierce said. Welch has been employed with the system since 1998, officials have said.
District Attorney Ashley Rich said Friday that the November grand jury returned the indictment last week.
"The victim was an 18-year-old former student," Rich said, identifying the victim as Kevin Fox, who was living at the house with Welch and Welch's parents.
Rich said that Fox and Welch "got into an argument and Welch pulled out a gun."
Bayou La Batre police responded to a home in the Bay Oaks subdivision about 9 p.m. on Sept. 21 and discovered a man shot twice.
Police Detective Scott Dagg said that officers picked up Welch about noon Friday at the house.
If convicted, Welch faces a possible prison sentence of 10 years to life, Rich said.

Plenitude Economy
Absolutely freeEvery time we post a new video,we'll send you a notice by e-mail.
Plenitude: Common Sense Economic Solution
Plenitude means the quality or state of being full, completeness, great sufficiency, abundance.
It does not mean insatiable or wasteful.
Changing how we spend our time is the key to reducing environmental impact, creating more jobs and giving us all a better life.
If we have more time, we can do more things and make more for ourselves. If we are less exhausted and needing to buy less, everything can come into balance.
Our narrator, economist and best-selling author of the book Plenitude, Juliet Schor says here: "It's a way to reclaim a human scale to our economy."
Responding to our current moment, her concept of Plenitude puts sustainability at its core, but it is not a paradigm of sacrifice. Instead, it's an argument that through a major shift to new sources of wealth, green technologies, and different ways of living, individuals and the country as a whole can actually be better off and more economically secure.
This brilliant animation offers a vision of what a post-consumer society could look like, with people working fewer hours and pursuing re-skilling, homesteading, and small-scale enterprises that can help reduce the overall size and impact of the consumer economy.
And as the author points out, and as we like to continually point out on Nextworldtv: This is not a utopian fantasy -- these very changes are already happening, getting stronger every day.

Note to Izzo's staff: Take a vacation, guys
An unprecedented 12-day stretch for Michigan State basketball concluded today with a 2012 verbal commitment from Bay City Western big man Matt Costello -- the fifth MSU verbal in that span. And with that, MSU's spots are all taken for 2011 AND 2012. It would have been earlier if Costello went on impulse. He just said he's been wanting to commit since the offer came on July 16, but he heeded the advice of his parents and did more investigating before choosing the Spartans over offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana and Butler.
U-M, Costello said, was his second choice. The 6-8, 220-pound Costello and his family came up to East Lansing today and got a tour of the academic facilities and weight room, then sat down with Izzo. As Izzo launched into a list of MSU's virtues, Costello cut him off.
"I said, 'Coach, you don't need to say anything anymore,'" Costello said. "'I want to play basketball for Michigan State.'"
Costello's father, Mike, finally gave his son the green light to give a verbal Tuesday night. Mike wanted to get a better feel for MSU and the other suitors, particularly from an academic perspective, before cutting his son loose.
Costello joins Sexton 6-5 guard Denzel Valentine and Medina, Ohio 6-7 forward Kenny Kaminski in the 2012 class. It's still possible MSU could add another player for 2012 (Indiana wing Gary Harris is the top possibility and indications are that MSU continues to recruit him at full force), but a transfer or NBA early departure would be required.
Costello is close friends with Kaminski, having played AAU ball with him, and their chemistry on the court was a lure to East Lansing for both. Costello said he patterns his game after Tyler Hansbrough. Some have thrown the Robbie Hummel comparison out there on Kaminski, although he's still more of a big and less of a wing than Hummel.
Costello called Kaminski "a shooter like I've never seen before."
"As a player, he's outside in, and I go inside out, if that makes any sense," said Costello, who also has a developing pick-and-pop game.
All three members of the '12 class are described as terrific passers. And now they have two years of high school left to work on their games -- and get used to playing with each other at open gym sessions in East Lansing.
"It gives us an opportunity to get to know each other and the system better," Costello said. "I think it gives us an advantage, however slight."
So here's the rundown: Kaminski on July 31; Branden Dawson and Travis Trice (both 2011) on Aug. 4; Valentine on Monday and Costello two days later. Izzo's program has been recruiting at a high level for 15 years, but I've never seen this kind of momentum -- or urgency from Plan A prospects to grab open spots while they still exist.

Two intriguing match-ups between premiere New York and Maryland high school boys lacrosse programs squared off in the Baltimore area on Thursday afternoon and Inside Lacrosse made it out to both.
Buffalo-area program Bishop Timon-St. Jude took on Boys Latin in an early afternoon contest in the city, with Hudson Valley power Yorktown taking on the McDonogh School in Owings Mills in the early evening. In this round, the Free State topped the Empire State, as both Lakers won 16-13 and Eagles beat the Cornhuskers 10-4.
