Mainly people recognized in the United States today as "Hispanic" or "Latino" are immigrants, or descendents of immigrants from countries that was under the rulings of the immense Spanish empire in the earlier days. Hispanics are one of the fastest growing groups in the United States today. At some indefinite moment within the next seven years, the Latino population in the United States will go beyond forty million, which will make the group the largest "minority" population (U.S Bureau of the census 1998).
The three largest groups of Hispanic Americans are Mexican Americans (57%), who live mainly in the Southwest (the area conquered in 1848 by the U.S during Mexican War); Puerto Ricans (10%), living mainly in the industrial Northeast; and Cuban Americans (5%), concentrated in Florida. This group was comprised largely of political and economic refugees (and their descendents) who immigrated to the United States following the Cuban Revolution in the mid 1980's. .
Since World War Two, these three oldest and largest Latino communities have been joined by new migrants making the Latino population in the U.S more diverse. Other Hispanic groups gaining in importance are Dominicans, 520,151 of whom (1990) have settled mainly in and around New York City, where they have quickly gained political representation and improved their economic status. Political disorder in Central America has led to a recent flow in immigration from that area. 0f 1,323,830 Central American residents, 565,081 have come from El Salvador, 268,779 from Guatemala, and 202,658 from Nicaragua. The largest group from South America is the Colombians, who in 1990 numbered 378,726, many of them living in the borough of Queens in New York City. Colombians have been unique in importing their lifestyle to the United States. Friends, occupations, servants, goods, all have been replicated (U.S bureau of the census).

HP Inc. (NASDAQ:HPQ) may not be known for its smartphones; most people are not even aware that the company has previously made attempts to manufacture these devices. It is largely known for its computers and printers. However, it appears it is stepping back into the smartphone industry after reports indicate a surprise revelation from HP at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2016.
Hewlett Packard is best known for its computers; so the indulgence into the world of smartphones might shock many. The company aims to launch a smartphone that runs on Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 10 Mobile, by February. The smartphone has previously showed up in benchmarks as "HP Falcon".
The HP Falcon is reported to be a high-end flagship smartphone that is likely to be powered by the new Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon 820 chip set with 2 GB of RAM. The HP Falcon is believed to sport phablet form which features a 5.8 inch QHD display. The device will incorporate an in-built storage capacity of 64 GB and will feature a 20 mega pixel (MP) rear camera with a 12 MP front shooter. These specs indicate that the device may well prove to be the most powerful Windows 10 Mobile-based smartphone; a notch better than the recently launched Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL.
According to the report, HP is still considering whether to go ahead with its plans to launch the HP Falcon. We believe it should. Currently, there are not many Windows 10 Mobile-based smartphones in the market. Thereby, the launch of Falcon would present Windows fans with more of a choice. Although the market share of Windows 10 Mobile has taken a hit in recent times, the launch of the Falcon might just help this cause.
The rumor mill continues to talk about the Surface Phone, the device that is touted as Microsoft's knight in shining armor for its mobile business. However, we are yet to be presented with sufficient evidence of its existence. If HP's Falcon does actually tempt users towards Windows 10 Mobile, it would give Microsoft more of a reason to launch Surface Phone. In other words, HP's move into the mobile market might as well help the Redmond-based company solve the dilemma of whether or not to go ahead and invest more riches in a Surface Phone.
With Windows 10 Mobile currently outpaced by the likes of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android mobile platforms, the mere provision of high-end compatible hardware can only help Microsoft to an extent. If HP truly needs its Falcon to soar over other flagship devices in the market, then it needs Microsoft's mobile operating system to help spread its wings. We will provide more news on the HP Falcon, Microsoft's Surface Phone, and the Mobile World Congress 2016, scheduled to take place in February, in coming weeks.

The interactions of the spot patterns in its many forms with Is and I is
To begin with the spot patterns in all forms as well as the Anthocyanin
Enhancement from aphylla and the all over pumilla spot from Cretica all seem
to be involved with the AVI factor ( anthocyanin vaculor inclusions). These
are cumulative of multiddosage factors in a lot of cases and seem to need
several dosages of I or Is to remove. The number of dosages of each is
difficult to sort out. When you have the Umbrata (variagata spot) on a
neglecta, one dosage of I will leave you with an amoena type like Wabash, or
actually one dosage of Umbrata. The recessive reduction of anthcyanin will
leave you with same phenotype. One more dosage of I is required to remove the
Umbrata spot.
The same thing with Romantic evening which is probably several dosages of AE
and the Umbratas spot as well as one dose of I. Personnaly I suspect that the
four dosage of AE as it seems in iris aphylla would require four doses of I
to get a white. Prossably the same with the black iris.
In any case we can have a dominant gene I, hidden by multiple doses of AE.
Something I was stronly suspecting and Neil's information on it being hidden
in Romantic Evening certainly confirms my suspicions. It seemed a bit too
radical to say anything without some concrete evidence.
Thanks Neil

The surprisingly slight and - I'll come clean - disappointingly unhunky Alan Bates (the grey Spanish guitarist moustache doesn't help) sighs hugely as he flops into his deep squidgy sofa. "Mmmmm, ooowah," he grunts, with a look of only vaguely benevolent resignation about what he's putting himself through. The length and breadth of that sigh suggests something else too. At 61, Bates is almost passed caring what anybody might or might not make of him. That he doesn't care all that much may be illustrated by his letting the dishwasher rudely gurgle its way through our meeting; that he still cares a little is evident in his habit of pulling his shirt collar up to his chin, eager to hide any hint that his cheeks have begun to flop down his neck.
Bates hates being interviewed chez lui,but there's packing to be done and a plane to be caught and no time to drag me out to a nice impersonal coffee bar. So all around us are clues, including paintings, photographs of Bates's late wife Victoria and the twins - Benedick, a promising young actor, and Tristan, who died of a freak asthma attack five years ago. If you ask Bates how he is bearing up, he gives a practiced response: "You have to reckon with the mysteries of life."
Eventually he forgets he's being photographed and settles down and fidgets less, the busy-busy eyes get quite twinkly, but he remains impenetrable. The rather camp way he talks and tosses his lustrous mop of thick black floppy curls makes you glance surreptitiously behind the door for the cape and cane that he must surely have just cast off. Still, he's content to chat about playing the lead in one of the actor's greatest challenges, The Master Builder, his first Ibsen and a marvellously complex interweaving of love, guilt and fantasy for Peter Hall. "He [Solness] knows this is a relationship in which he can't be fulfilled and she [Hilde], 20 years younger, is full of euphoria and illusion about what can happen, full of that fire of youth. It's a relationship ruined by hideous timing. It's not easy but I love it. Peter lets everyone find out what their instincts are making them do [Bates is big on acting as instinct]. I do love directors who can say 'I was absolutely wrong about that, you were right' - it's very shared and you can function that way."
Hall worked with Bates once before, when it was generally agreed that his performance went some way to salvaging Peter Shaffer's ill-fated revamping of the Old Testament, Yonadab (which, in Bates's opinion was a chamber piece mistaken for an epic and swallowed up by the Olivier stage). "He's the softest hardest actor," says Hall "which makes him great for The Master Builder. It's not a self-portrait of Ibsen but it takes elements of his character - ambition, sexual guilt, guilt at being an artist, the loneliness of it, the doubt about whether you are as good as the world says you are." Elements shared by Bates, perhaps? "I'm not Solness," he says. "Acting is acting."
Alan Bates was "fascinated" by acting from the age of 11 when his mother began taking him to the Derby Little Theatre Club where John Osborne and John Dexter were the leading actors. "And much better as writer and director they proved to be," he giggles. Bates's father was a musician forced to earn his living as an insurance clerk. "I think he could have been something but he didn't push hard enough," Bates reflects. But when young Alan set his sights on RADA, his parents made sure he had the best voice coaching.
Once there his determination was sharpened by the fierce competition from fellow students. His was a phenomenal year: John Stride, Brian Bedford, Rosemary Leach, Roy Kinnear, Keith Baxter, Albert Finney, Peter O'Toole, Peter Bowles, Richard Briars, James Booth. Rarely do so many go so far and for so long, carried initially by the wave of new writers bringing kitchen sinks, social awareness and lot of parts for younger people to the stage.
Bates spent just six months with the Midland Theatre Company before being snapped up to join the English Stage Company as a founder member. In their fourth production he played the passive Cliff to Kenneth Haigh's vitriolic Jimmy Porter in the premiere of Look Back in Anger. ("A fresh unforced performance," wrote Kenneth Tynan.) Here Bates displayed his capacity for taut stillness, an eloquent calm, an emotional economy which has stayed with him. But as the master exponent of Simon Gray's work, Bates also found a flamboyance and a biting invective matched by fewBritish actors.
He and Gray have a developed a tremendous rapport. Gray adores Bates the man ("He's the nicest, kindest, most generous..." etc) and rates Bates the actor ("His wit is always present in his acting. He has a great sense of the comedy of life. He has the most alert, sometimes wicked, always expressive eyes - he's one of those lucky actors who constantly draws your attention"). Bates's most memorable performances have been in contemporary drama by Gray, David Storey and Harold Pinter and in some of the best television of the decade, Alan Bennett's An Englishman Abroad, Gray's Unnatural Pursuits, the adaptation of The Mayor of Casterbridge. It takes courage to do the new, untested stuff, but it offers the chance to create a role rather than tread a well-worn path (and, as in the case of The Master Builder, invite comparison with the big boys Olivier, Michael Redgrave, John Wood and Brian Cox). Bates says he enjoys the risk of the unproven. "There is often something wrong with a new play, but I like so many elements of it that I want to take a chance."
The real gaps in his c.v. are classical roles. In a career in which Bates has scarcely stopped working, he has fitted in only the odd Shakespeare, Petruchio to Susan Fleetwood's Kate in The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo when he was 19 ("I was terrific"), Benedick opposite Felicity Kendal in a rather middle-aged but excellent Much Ado. While others carried spears for the RSC and worked up to their Macbeths and Antonys, Bates was making movies, first The Entertainer, Whistle Down the Wind and A Kind of Loving, then Zorba the Greek, Women in Love and The Go-Between (all good stuff which arguably exploited rather than challenged his talents). "I'd got this other life going but I never left the theatre at all - I've never been away from it for more than 18 months." Film work jogged along - The Rose, Nijinsky, The Fixer, An Unmarried Woman - but it was never major major league. "I had lots of offers in Hollywood and I read the scripts and felt they weren't very good. I don't quite see the point except for the money. You can get trapped there and I don't think as an English actor you are ever number one."
Is it easier to be number one over here? "It's not the same thing," he says, avoiding the question and looking at his watch. "I've reached a time in my life when it's no longer about doing what you ought to do. I just do the scripts I like." So they all say.
It's been a profoundly unsatisfying meeting. But as I wander away into a St John's Wood avenue, I find myself wondering if deeply private people are the best actors because they reserve their personalities so that other characters can occupy then. Suddenly I forgive Bates's blank mask and look forward to its illumination by Solness.

Well, I have begun the search for higher academia and have looked into grad programs.
Now, I have seen some programs state that incoming grad students should be weel versed in many subjects of social science including: economics, social science, sociology, environmental studies, geography, etc.
I have also been thinking of learning CAD, and have signed on to take a couple courses at the local community college (hoping too, that good grades there will help in grad school admission), the only course I am not well versed in is Economics (macro and micro).
Which economics course (macro or micro) would be best taken to benefit studying for a MURP?
Also, any other general course one would recommend to brush up on?
It has been a little over 2 years since BA graduation for me.

By Marlene Sorosky
"This good-natured volume from a veteran cookbook writer delivers just what its title promises: traditional Jewish dishes prepared for special occasions but created with a minimum of fuss."...Publishers Weekly
If you think that the only way to prepare for the holidays and still be able to smile at your family and guests is to order in take-out, let Marlene Sorosky change your mind with her wonderful book Fast & Festive Meals for the Jewish Holidays. Hers is a revolutionary collection of time-saving, delectable recipes for thirteen Jewish celebrations from Rosh Hashanah to Israel Independence Day. What!? Revolutionary? Yes, Sorosky has overthrown the traditional, heavy, tedious recipes of our past. In their place is great-tasting, easy-to-prepare Jewish holiday fare, like Bread Machine Challah and Crisp Potato Kugel.
For Hanukkah serve Brisket with Burgundy-Orange Sauce, it takes only ten minutes of preparation before you slip. it into the oven. Delight your mother-in-law with three different kinds of latkes. Traditional Potato Pancakes include a vitamin C tablet to keep the potatoes from turning brown. Sweet Potato Latkes are infused with ginger for a fresh twist, and Marlene assures you that "Once you taste them, you may begin a sweet new tradition." The Giant Potato-Carrot Pancake takes a lot less work than making many smaller latkes. It's finished in the oven and served in wedges.
The subtitle, "Complete Menus, Rituals, and Party-Planning Ideas for Every Holiday of the Year," tells you this is not your usual Jewish holiday cookbook. Heading up each chapter are the prayers said at the holiday table and explanations of Jewish laws and customs, plus the origins of many food traditions. Marlene answers many common questions about Jewish holidays. Do you know why challah dough is mixed with raisins and baked in a round for the New Year (Rosh Hashanah). Why eggs are eaten at Passover? Why dairy is eaten on Shavuot? Why fish is eaten as a typical first course?
Detailed game plans for holiday meals are Marlene's specialty, so included Fast & Festive Meals For The Jewish Holidays is a timetable for preparation and shopping, including what can be done ahead of time, what can be frozen, and when to defrost it. She suggests invitations, table settings, and meaningful but fun activities for children. For a Havdalah party (the ritual that ends Shabbat), children have a great time making spice boxes, which are passed around the table to be sniffed; the sweet smell is to help people get over their disappointment that the Sabbath has ended.
Sorosky's Fast & Festive Meals For The Jewish Holidays is a must-have for anyone who is looking to be converted from holiday-meal take-out, or who craves delicious menu ideas that fit into an active lifestyle. This book will quickly take its place as the Jewish holiday entertaining book and give the gift of time to spare.

I bought my tab 3 in December, in January it wont come on however when i plugged it in it did....yay.... whew....but when i unplug it the same thing happen. It would not work unless the adapter is plugged into an outlet or USB cord is connected into a computer. Which means that in my book it is equivalent to my desktop and this is not why i bought it. What can i do besides sell it off?

Re: My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 wont stay on unless plugged in
I wouldn't sell a defective device. Perhaps using the warranty would work?

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
First off, I love App World! In general the interface works great on my Storm. I was actually surprised that we had 400 applications with about 100 free - so right on par with Apple's first day of release. HOWEVER, there are a few things that need to be addressed fast before we get too many aps in there:
1) Make the developer list the supported devices!! I have wasted some time with this one.
2) Have developers list if the Free ap is actually a free trial!
3) Search on supported devices within each category
4) Within each category have the 20 newest as a search option
5) Search on price and ratings - more advanced than current
I truly believe the first two are critical. The others will be needed once the App World grows. THANKS!

We stayed here over the weekend.The receptionist wasn't very polite and didn't even say hello. The hotel itself is small and dated. Unfortunately our room wasn't cleaned up, there were still hair and bread crums on our table. Not mentioning the bathroom. We booked it with breakfast, which wasn't a good idea. Cuttlery wasn't cleaned either and on our second day there was still some garbage on our table, which we left the other day. And my friends napkin was the used one from the day bef

Great for a cheap and easy stay with great check out time (later than most places). Water pressure in shower could have been improved and the water did not run hot. Breakfast staff were lovely.

After reading reviews we were expecting the worst, but we were only staying to attend a festival a few miles away so needed to get ready And to get our heads down, we were pleasantly surprised, the sheets were crisp and clean the shower was lovely and hot room basic but comfy, if you're here for a romantic 4* getaway it's not for you, i felt sorry for a couple of families staying for the footy the following morning as I would say the majority of us staying were for the festival so lots of noise

Hotel with good Breakfast
Heard that some Cyclists group from England stopped here and they do a very good breakfast.
Indeed the price is good at 25 Latts per night - and as i seen on reviews before - very clean, cable tv, very good breakfast.
Unique Quality: Cold platter of cheese and meat and salad and always hot food.
Omlette 1 day
Smoked sausage and eggs one day
But the best day of all was morning i had Potatoe Cakes - they were delicious and much better than the ones i had in restaurant previous day.
The first lady cook on first 2 days was very nice and friendly and spoke very good english
There was another lady another day who looked very very tired - i am not sure if she spoke english but she was not a morning person
15 mins walk from old Riga near other hotels.
Rooms at the back can be pretty quiet if not for the seagulls at night - this reminded me of time i was once in Llandudno.
Directions: address is at K. Baona iela - however the entrane is about 15 yards down Gertrudes iela heading towards the big church
Good value, centrally located Bed & Breakfast
I stayed at Multilux B&B with a friend for 2 nights in October 2005.
We chose to stay here as we wanted a good value, centrally located place with breakfast included in the price - and Multilux was recommended by our indispensible "In Your Pocket" guide to Riga.
This recently refurbished Bed & Breakfast is located on Gertrudes iela, just a couple of minutes walk from the central Brivibas iela. You can walk from the hotel to the heart of the old town in a little over 10 minutes.
We paid 40 Lats (approx 40 GBP) for a double room with private bathroom and breakfast. This proved to be excellent value for money.
Our double room consisted of 3 single beds, satellite TV, a large wardrobe, wooden floors, a couple of chairs and a spotlessly clean shower room. The room was very well heated, and this was particularly welcome after arriving back at the room from a bitterly cold Riga evening! It was very evident that the room had been refurbished in the not too distant past.
The reception area was staffed by friendly staff and contained a selection of guidebooks for guests to browse through.
Unfortunately, the hotel had no lifts at the time of our visit, so we had to drag our bags up to the 4th floor. This wasn't too big a problem for us, but it might be a factor that deters others from staying here.
Entrance to the hotel and the bedrooms is by way of an electronic swipe card, so you shouldn't have any concerns about security.
The breakfast was very good. It consisted of toast with butter and a choice of jams, a large omelette (cooked by the full-time, in-house chef), orange juice and a choice of coffee or tea. Unfortunately, it wasn't a buffet style breakfast so you can only eat what you are given by the waitress.
An excellent value, centrally located Bed & Breakfast. Clean, modern, well heated bedrooms and a good quality breakfast. Recommended!
Directions: Located on Gertrudes iela, just a couple of minutes walk from Brivibas iela.

Knoxville, Tennessee February 9, 2016 Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announced fiscal fourth quarter 2015 results.

Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $175.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $163.6 for the fourth quarter of 2014. Beginning January 2, 2015, Regals fiscal year changed from a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the first Thursday after December 25 of each year to a fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year. As a result of the calendar change, the fourth quarter of 2015 consisted of six fewer days than the fourth quarter of 2014 and the fiscal 2015 period consisted of seven fewer days than the fiscal 2014 period. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Regals Board of Directors also today declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per Class A and Class B common share, payable on March 15, 2016, to stockholders of record on March 4, 2016. The Company intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the Board of Directors depending on available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows as well as other relevant factors.
We are pleased to report that 2015 was a record year for Regal Entertainment Group.

Parking for St Albans Cathedral on Remembrance Sunday afternoon
What is the nearest parking to St Albans Cathedral on Remembrance Sunday afternoon and also is there any form of café/restaurant nearby where we can get something to eat - not Indian/Chinese etc.
Many thanks
What to do and see in one day?
Hello - I'm from Germany...
I wil be coming to St Albans (as a short trip away from London) - what could I do in one day? I'm on my own and don't mind walking...
I'm interested in quiet places and maybe a enjoying the lake. See some interesting local / historical sites. Would love to take a snack or so - I read about the Waffle House - would be my cup of tea... :D and of course do a little shopping...
I'm not quite sure how to put it all together to enjoy a nice day and maybe meet some local people to talk to... Not sure if I could find a guide for a little tour or so - just to get a nice insight of your city...
I would be very pleased if you could get me some advise - that would be very helpful to enjoy my visit...
- It's not very urgent but I'd like to plan ahead)***

From luton to St. Albans museum
Hi, I'm planning on going to the verulamium museum, and I have never been to St. Albans before, how far is the museum from St. Albans city station?
Birthday cake delivery to Hatfield
I am writing from Hong Kong, and would like to send a birthday cake on 6 Jan 2011 to my daughter who is studying in de Havilland campus of the University of Hertfordshire as an international student. Is there any cake shop or restaurant in St Albans or Hatfield that is available for me to contact? Thanks.
Travelling to London
My daughter recently started working in London and she has finally found somewhere to live in St Albans.
She will be travelling into work every day and needs to get to Leiceter Square tube station.
I've been trying to figure out the cheapest way to travel (by train) and I seem to have come up with £2,668.00 per year for a Travelcard plus another £1,032.00 for a Oyster card.
Is this the best we can do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Day 1 of the Future of Web Design was a fantastic workshop on designing for mobile with Josh Clark aka @globalmoxie, fellow Brooklynite and author of Tapworthy, a sharp guy, and a great speaker. Hop below the fold for the full notes.
Mobile isn't actually mobile anymore. It's on the couch, in the kitchen, on the 3 hour layover. We have time. Mobile != Desktop Lite
usage of device (mobile, tablet, desktop) vs hour-of-day.

The Dark Art of Aping Real Objects
Some clones are the same size: Guitar tuner, apple remote. Sounds and animation can enhance that illusion. You're absorbing all the industrial design thought that went into the original, though you may lose some ergonomic affordances.
Minitures (Chess, GarageBand's piano) are a bit different. The interface loses its ergonomics.
Lots of shelves these days. Its just a dressed-up tree structure, but we love collections. It's fine for things that belong on a shelf (e.g. books), but you'll lose emotional resonance when the objects can't really be on shelves and the metaphors break.
When contemplating metaphors:
Gestures that begin at the edge should be OS-level gestures: android, WebOS, Meego all did this. Apple used to, but recently has been breaking edge gestures by taking them over.
Buttons require cognitive and physical effort.

"Clearly this is an opportunity, not just a crisis moment," sustainability expert William McDonough told me. McDonough is one of Time magazine's Heroes of the Planet. I caught up with him -- no mean feat, by the way -- to find out how this global visionary would reimagine the auto industry, if Congress had the horse sense to ask him.
Why solicit McDonough's opinion? Because this architect and author is no stranger to Detroit or the greening of industrial processes. The last time I spoke with him we were walking on the world's largest living roof, the 10-acre marvel he designed for Henry Ford's iconic River Rouge Plant. He also collaborated with Ford on the Model U -- a car whose basic elements can be recycled again and again.
You've said the United States should be on a war footing against cyclical gas prices.
Bill McDonough: Cyclical gas prices must be recognized and understood as pernicious. It is a pattern that's lulling us to sleep. Have you noticed how the price of oil drops whenever renewable alternatives gain traction? All they have to do is drop the price of oil for one month to destroy those investments. From my perspective, Congress should say, "Look, folks, get used to $4 a gallon because it's a good thing. And here's why it's a good thing -- because when we set the price at $4, we can take the spread and use it to deploy indigenous energy, rebuild the transportation infrastructure, and create jobs."
But ultimately you want to ditch the internal combustion engine, right?
The whole world should drive electric cars powered by the sun. That doesn't mean we can't celebrate oil as a gift from the past. However, oil is capital. And like business capital, the last thing we should be doing is burning it up. Oil is incredibly valuable and should only be used as feedstock for recyclable products.
That's a tough sell -- electric cars would require a whole new infrastructure.
I'm talking about anticipatory design science. The idea is to anticipate the future, and design as if it mattered. That's what I'm calling for here. Automakers can't turn on a dime, but they should be able to turn on a quarter. Now, you may be thinking, "Ask the entire nation to commit to electric cars? You're crazy, Bill." Am I? They're already doing it in Israel. If they can do it, we can do it.
Was Israel's aim to get off oil?
In 2005, the World Economic Forum posed the question, "How do you make the world a better place by 2020?" For Silicon Valley entrepreneur Shai Agassi, the answer was to get Israel off of oil. Agassi took the cell phone business model and applied it to electric vehicles. His company offers one convenient plan that includes a car, a battery, and access to a recharging infrastructure. Israel and Denmark are Agassi's first customers. It's looking like Australia may be the third. Israel will also manufacture their electric cars -- in partnership with Renault and Nissan -- to create thousands of local jobs.
How did Agassi solve the battery problem?
He separated the battery from the vehicle. Nissan's new battery can be pulled easily out of a car, so service station attendants can replace a spent battery quickly -- in roughly the same amount of the time it takes to fill a conventional gas tank. A wireless network will tell drivers where batteries can be replaced out on the road.
Is it reasonable to expect Madison Avenue can put an electric car in every driveway?
In Israel's case, the government will be putting a substantial tax on gasoline vehicles -- and zero tax on electric cars -- to encourage people to make the switch.
But doesn't a sustainable auto industry necessitate more than getting off oil?
Automakers also should be looking at materials, and water usage. They should design cars that can become cars forever -- vehicles that are completely recyclable. Leathers should act as biological nutrients. Plastics should recirculate through the polymer chains. I would like to see a car put together with a glue that disadheres when the car is dipped into enzymes that tell the glue to let go, so we can disassemble cars quickly and recycle them cheaply. Water should be cleaned as part of the manufacturing process. It's too valuable to be discarded.
On a lighter note, you've called cars fun and romantic.
In my opinion, cars are the fourth place: you have a home, an office, cafe society for hanging out with friends, and a car. A car allows you to get inside, listen to your favorite music at your own volume, and go wherever you want to go. There's nothing else like it.
Is an oversight panel the best way to avoid missing this opportunity to get off oil?
I hope anyone put in a position of counsel to the auto sector will have the vision to see what's happening in the world of design and deployment. This is the time for massive change. The car is an amazing thing. It's worth figuring out how to get it right.
It's a tough moment for everyone involved in the car business.
We should wish everybody in the auto sector well. These are difficult times, and it's going to be hard to rise to the occasion. We need to be sympathetic. But that doesn't mean we should encourage the automakers to do what they did before. What did Einstein say? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

"It has really been a dream come true for all of us." Aranya Choudhury probably never imagined he would stand inside the most advanced high-energy physics research facility ever created. The Large Hadron Collider became operational on 10th September 2008, and Choudhury, 20 years old, was one of 11 Indian undergraduate students selected to spend 8 to 13 weeks there as an intern, rubbing shoulders with some of the brightest minds of our time.
For the uninitiated, LHC is essentially a 27-kilometre-long tunnel concealed beneath Switzerland. It's the flagship project of CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) and is designed to smash the tiniest known particles into each other with the intention of, among other things, recreating the conditions present at what we call The Big Bang. As a layman, perusing documents and articles explaining why it came into being, who brought it to fruition and what potential discoveries it may trigger visions of a sentient technology that could finally bring about the human apocalypse à la the Terminator or Matrix films. "The Large Hadron Collider begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, December 7th. In a panic, we try to pull the plug." Something like that.
As usual, the realities of cutting edge technology are a far cry from Hollywood. For a start, it immediately broke and will lie dormant undergoing repairs until November this year, so we can put off stashing a survival kit under the bed until then at least. Seriously, though, LHC is a rigorously controlled effort at putting our best knowledge to work for us in order to push forward our understanding of the universe we inhabit. Physical theories that have until now been purely theoretical and untested can finally be observed, altered or disproven – in real time.
CERN being a European organisation, the bulk of the more than 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries involved are European. However, the group wants the best technology and knowledge to be given a chance to shine and provide expertise, so naturally India continues to play a key role. For example, over 7000 precise magnetic jacks were required to ensure the tunnel remained a perfect circle, and they were all made in India, as was much of the other magnetic equipment needed. That may be pure outsourcing, but then there are the Indian groups gaining experience through partnership with CERN with a view to setting up their own high-tech research facilities in India, such as SINP and VECC.
Ultimately, if the whole thing flops and we end up learning nothing new about our universe, at least kids like Choudhury will have had a chance to be present at the foremost physics facility of this generation, to meet the best minds of our time, and most importantly, to meet fellow aspiring scientists from all over the world. Fostering that curiosity in the youth is something that is all too rare in a world saturated with negative and manipulative images. It's heartening to see such a high-profile group do their part not just for future textbooks, but also for future leaders of the field.
A more complete breakdown of Indian involvement can be found here – be warned, if you're a neophyte like me it may lead to feelings of horrible, 'what have I done with my life' inadequacy.

We may as well come to terms with the reality that the NCAA will eventually add a sporkful of teams into the March Madness orgy. As if 65 schools weren't enough to quickly learn in a four-day span, 96 may be the new format as early as next year. It may be opposed by a four-fifths majority of fans, but the BCS is proof positive that playoff formats are not about giving fans happy feelings.
Yes, it waters down the achievement of reaching the tournament. Yes, it uproots the seeding as we've known it since the mid-'80s. And yes, this means that additional games will be played on weekdays, causing us to burn more personal days. This also means the mythical "16 beating a 1" accomplishment will be far more likely, since the seeds will go all the way up to 24.
We could debate all day on whether or not worse teams can still provide fans with exciting finishes and feel-good stories. As for the new seeding, we'll get over it.
But the best, if not indirect, result of instantiating a 96-team tournament will be the removal of that damn play-in game.
Ten years ago, eight members of the Western Athletic Conference seceded and formed its own conference, the Mountain West. For whatever reason, an additional conference meant the addition of another automatic bid to the tournament, so they tacked one more invitation on the bracket's hindquarters, sticking out like a malignant protuberance. In this game, the two lowest ranked teams would play each other for the right to get mauled by the top overall seed.
I'll admit, it was a cute, fun tradition held annually in Dayton to give these tiny teams the sportin' chance to tally some NCAA tournament wins on their resume. However, the game was such a bizarre novelty, virtually all office pools and online bracket contests didn't even let people pick the winner. Its effect on the tournament was like a summer breeze against the Berlin Wall.
Looking back on it, we may put this concept in the Defective Sports Museum Hall of Fame next to the 1976 White Sox shorts and the XFL.Powered by Sidelines

Medieval Handgonnes - The First Black Powder Weapons12 Apr 2011 0
This is one of the first in a new and rapidly expanding series from Osprey Publishing ? Weapon! Others in the series include the Thompson Sub Machine Gun, Katana ? the Samurai Sword and Sniper Rifles, with upcoming titles on the AK47 and the Colt 1911 Pistol.
This particular volume is quite precisely focused ? handgonnes, rather than pre-Renaissance firearms in general (although there is some overlap between the true handgonne and the early arquebus which is touched upon in the book). I have to say that as someone who wargames the late Medieval period I had always just thought of early handheld firearms as much of a muchness! The author, Sean McLachlan, brings out very clearly that this type of thinking is extremely woolly (typical wargamer) and also that there was considerable overlap between the handgonne and the arquebus. I had always assumed that one gradually took over from the other (which is more or less true) but (erroneously) that as more ?modern? types came along older types were discarded. Apparently the handgonne stayed in frontline use right up until the very late part of the fifteenth century.
The book discusses the evolution of the handgonne and its tactical use. It also goes into a lot of detail about the manufacture and preparation of gunpowder (and how that process developed over the years). This could be a quite dry area but the author gives us enough detail to be informed but does not get so technical as to put the more general reader off. I found it all quite fascinating. The author also sets out to answer the $6 million question ? why did handgonnes (and handheld firearms generally) catch on when they were slow to load, dependent on an inexact and expensive process for manufacturing a key element (the gunpowder) and apparently wildly inaccurate! All this compared to rapid fire of the longbow and the penetrative power of the crossbow. I won?t spoil the answer but it is an interesting multifaceted one. I would only say that the author seems to concentrate a little too much on the lack of penetrative power (relatively speaking) of the longbow and not enough on the fact that it was the weapon of a craftsman and required a complete social (not just technical) infrastructure to support it as a weapons system. And it was this that most other countries found difficult to replicate compared with the handgonne.
The book also gives two examples of how the handgonne was used in different conflicts as the weapons system evolved ? these are the Wars of the Roses and the Hussite Wars.
The original artwork in the book (the
thing I guess most Osprey books are famous for) is limited to only two plates
(both double spreads). One is a night
attack on
However the other illustrations more than make up for the lack of original artwork; most pages having full colour reproductions of contemporary manuscripts etc. Many of these are drawn from the famous Schilling Chronicle which shows the Medieval Swiss army at war and also its Burgundian opponents. Also there are two double page photo layouts showing the loading and firing by modern day re-enactors of a handgonne and an early arquebus. These are both clear and helpful in setting out the process, a real plus point for the book. I have to say I wouldn?t fancy going through that rigmarole whilst the enemy was bearing down on me! There are also plenty of colour photos of surviving handgonnes which again help illuminate the subject matter.
Overall I thought this was an excellent volume that covered the subject matter in an informative and non technical way. I also must say that in a book this size (80 pages including the Index) Mr McLachlan packs a great deal in. For those wishing to look in more detail at the subject there is an excellent Bibliography to start you off! This book certainly made me think a lot more about how we treat firearms on the wargames table.
Available now in paperback from Osprey Publishing priced £12.99.

Dustin Luis Pedroia (born August 17, 1983) is an American baseball second baseman for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is a four-time All-Star and an American League (AL) Most Valuable Player award winner, who has also received four Gold Gloves and a single Silver Slugger award.
Pedroia was drafted by the Red Sox in 2004, and made his major league debut in 2006 before becoming a full-time player in the 2007 season, and winning the AL Rookie of the Year award. He contributed to two Red Sox World Series championships in 2007 and 2013. Pedroia remains under contract with the Red Sox through the 2021 season.
Pedroia is an above-average contact hitter with a very low strikeout rate and "a surprising amount of power", whose defense at second base has been rated significantly above-average.[1][2] Pedroia has achieved Major League success despite a relative lack of height − his height is reported to be 5 ft 7 in or 5 ft 8 in (170–173 cm).[3][4][5]

Early life and high school[edit]
Pedroia was born in Woodland, California on August 17, 1983. His parents operated a tire shop in the city where they would work fifteen hours per day.[6][7] Debbie Pedroia played tennis at Sacramento City College.[7] Pedroia's older brother, Brett, played baseball as a catcher at Shasta College.[8]
Pedroia attended Woodland High School in Woodland, California where he played baseball and football. His football career ended when, as a freshman quarterback, a hit from future NFL linebacker Lance Briggs shattered his ankle.[9] As a senior baseball player, Pedroia did not strike out all season,[10] compiled a .445 batting average and was chosen as his league's most valuable player.
College career[edit]
Pedroia attended Arizona State University (ASU), where he played college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils baseball team. He was teammates with Ian Kinsler and Andre Ethier. Kinsler and Pedroia competed for the shortstop position at ASU. Ultimately, Pedroia stayed at shortstop, while Kinsler ended up at second base before transferring to the University of Missouri. In three years at ASU, Pedroia never hit below .347 and had a career average of .384, starting all 185 games. To help ASU recruit better pitchers, Pedroia also relinquished the last two years of his athletic scholarship.[9] He was named ASU On Deck Circle Most Valuable Player; other winners have included Ike Davis, Willie Bloomquist, Paul Lo Duca, and Barry Bonds.[11]
Professional career[edit]
Minor leagues[edit]
Pedroia was drafted by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2004 Major League Baseball draft, with the 65th pick overall. Pedroia, the eighth shortstop drafted, received a $575,000 signing bonus.[9]
In two years in the minors (2004–06), Pedroia batted .308 while playing second base and shortstop.
Boston Red Sox[edit]
After a brief call-up in 2006, when he hit just .191 in 89 at-bats,[12] Pedroia became the regular second baseman for the Red Sox in 2007 replacing Mark Loretta. Pedroia suffered through an early-season hitting slump, but recovered, later putting up a 13-game hitting streak and a five-hit game against the Giants.[13] He notably made a diving stop to preserve fellow rookie Clay Buchholz's no-hitter on September 1.[14] Pedroia won the AL Rookie of the Year award and was selected to the 2007 Topps Major League Rookie All-Star Team.[15][16]
The Red Sox played the Indians in the 2007 ALCS. In Game 7 of the series, Pedroia homered and doubled, collecting five RBI to secure the Red Sox' spot in the World Series, to face the Rockies. Pedroia homered in the first at bat of the series, making him only the second player, and the first rookie, to lead off the Series with a home run.[17]
Pedroia performed very well during the 2008 regular season, and received AL MVP, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards.[18][19][20] He was the first-ever Red Sox second baseman to win a Silver Slugger Award, the first Red Sox second baseman to win a Gold Glove since Doug Griffin in 1972, and the first second baseman to win an MVP Award since Nellie Fox in 1959. He hit .326 with 17 homers over 726 PAs, for a 127 wRC+.[21] Pedroia was defensively great, making only six errors through 157 games,[22][23] saving +9.7 runs over the season, according to UZR.[2] 2008 was also Pedroia's most productive season on the basepaths; he stole 20 bases in 21 attempts, for baserunning worth 4.9 runs above average.[21][24]
Pedroia's contribution in the regular season was rated 6.5 WAR by Fangraphs, a "superstar" level of performance.[21][25] He became only the third player in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in consecutive seasons joining Cal Ripken Jr. and Ryan Howard.[citation needed]
Pedroia was hitless through the first three games of the 2008 ALDS, recording only an RBI double in Game 4. The Red Sox defeated the Angels in four games.[citation needed] In the ALCS against the Tampa Bay Rays, Pedroia collected 9 hits in 26 plate appearances, including three home runs and a double. The rest of the team struggled to a .234 batting average against the Tampa pitching staff, and the Red Sox lost the series.[citation needed]
On December 3, 2008, Pedroia signed a six-year contract extension worth $40.5 million, with an additional team option for 2015 worth $11 million.[26]
Pedroia announced on December 15, 2008 that he would play for the United States team in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He recorded the first Major League hit in Citi Field history during an April 3 exhibition game against the Mets. He hit a home run in his first at bat of the 2009 season.[citation needed]
Pedroia was selected to start for the 2009 AL All Star Team. However, Pedroia had to withdraw from the team to stay with his wife Kelli, who was experiencing pregnancy complications with the couple's first child. The same issue had caused him to miss a regular season game prior to the All Star break.[citation needed]
Pedroia achieved his first multi-home run game on September 9, 2009, against the Orioles.[citation needed]
In 2010, MLB umpire Joe West made controversial statements regarding the speed of play between the Red Sox and Yankees, Pedroia responded by saying, "What he doesn't understand is that when we don't do well in these games against the Yankees, we get killed. If he doesn't want to do Red Sox and Yankee games, he should tell the umpires' union. Then when we're in the World Series, he'll be out of that assignment, too."[27][28]
On June 24, 2010, Pedroia went 5 for 5, with 5 RBI, and hit three home runs in a game against the Rockies that the Red Sox won, 13–11, in the tenth inning.[29] The next day, Pedroia fouled a ball off his foot in an at-bat versus the Giants. MRI results the next day confirmed that he had a broken bone in his foot, and he was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Pedroia was under doctor's orders not to put weight on his injured foot for two weeks, but continued to practice fielding grounders while on his knees.[30]
Pedroia was named to be a reserve player on the 2010 AL All Star team, but did not participate due to this injury, and had former Arizona State teammate Ian Kinsler replace him on the roster. Pedroia returned to the lineup on August 17 against the Angels, only to be put back on the DL after playing 2 games. Pedroia would end the 2010 season having played only 75 games.[21]
In 2011, Pedroia bounced back, batting .307 and slugging 21 home runs over 159 games. He won a Fielding Bible Award in 2011 as the best fielding second baseman in MLB,[31] and had his best defensive season by ultimate zone rating, with 18.1 runs saved.[2] In June and July, Pedroia had a 25-game hitting streak, the longest for a Red Sox second baseman.[32] On August 16, Pedroia was involved in throwing a triple play, started by Jed Lowrie. Pedroia's 2011 season was rated at 7.6 Wins Above Replacement by Fangraphs, an "MVP-caliber" performance.[21][25]
On September 30, 2012, Pedroia broke his ring finger on his left hand but after being reassured that the injury would not degrade with use, he made the decision to play through the pain in the following season-ending series at Yankee Stadium.[33]
On July 23, 2013, Pedroia and the Red Sox agreed to an 8-year extension worth $110 million.[34] Pedroia was represented in negotiations by Sam Levinson and Seth Levinson of ACES Inc.
Pedroia bounced back from his injury-affected 2012 season to become the only player on the Red Sox to play more than 150 games during the team's 2013 regular season, playing in 160 games.[35] Pedroia posted a strong regular season performance, and was awarded his third Gold Glove, and the Wilson AL Defensive Player of the Year award.[19][21][36] The Red Sox won their division and went on to win the World Series.
In November 2013, Pedroia underwent thumb surgery to repair a torn UCL, an injury he suffered when sliding to first base on opening day.[37]
In May 2014, Pedroia hit his 100th career home run and his 300th career double. Pedroia hit only four home runs before the 2014 All Star break, and his hitting productivity dropped to league average.[21][38] However, his fielding numbers remained strong.[2][22] For his defensive performance, Pedroia was honored with the American League Gold Glove award at second base, his fourth in his nine-year career. This made him the first Red Sox infielder to win four Gold Gloves.[39]
Pedroia began the 2015 MLB season with two home runs in the Red Sox opening game, on the road at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia.[40] On June 25, 2015 the Red Sox placed him on the 15-day disabled list due to a right hamstring strain.[41]
Pedroia had a strong month as a hitter in August, culminating in a streak of three games, from August 25 through 27, over which he hit safely in 11 consecutive at bats, falling one hit shy of tying the major league record of 12 consecutive at bats with a base hit (shared by three players since 1902). During the streak, Pedroia had 10 singles, one double, scored two runs and drove in three. He also walked once during the streak, thus reaching base safely over 12 consecutive plate appearances.[42] Pedroia finished the 2016 season with a batting average of .318.[43] In 154 games of 2016, Pedroia finished the year with a .318 batting average, 201 hits, 36 doubles, 105 runs scored, 15 home runs, and 74 RBI.
The Red Sox finished the 2016 season with a 93-69 record, clinching the AL East division, but were swept in three games by the Indians in the 2016 ALDS. On October 13, 2016, Pedroia underwent left knee surgery, a partial medial meniscectomy and chondroplasty. Despite the surgery, he, along with teammate Mookie Betts 2016 Fielding Bible awards.

Personal life[edit]
Pedroia has garnered multiple nicknames during his time in Boston, these include: Pedey, Laser Show, and the Muddy Chicken.[44][not in citation given] Pedroia is of Swiss Italian (Brione s/Minusio, Canton Ticino) , Portuguese and Spanish heritage.[citation needed] He is the nephew of Temple University defensive coordinator Phil Snow.[9]
On January 9, 2009, Pedroia was named as the cover athlete of the baseball video game MLB 09: The Show, and appeared in several commercials for the game.
On August 18, 2009, Dustin's wife, Kelli, gave birth to the couple's first child, a boy named Dylan.[45] On September 13, 2012, Dustin's wife, Kelli, delivered their second son, Cole.[46] On June 13, 2014, Dustin's wife, Kelli, delivered the couple's third son, Brooks. Dustin Pedroia is a fan of the NBA's Sacramento Kings, and the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
In a 2009 interview given to Boston, Pedroia criticized his home town of Woodland, California, calling it a "dump" and a city that never embraced him.[10] This generated backlash from his hometown and his family received death threats.[47] Pedroia later clarified his comments saying he was only joking and his comments were taken out of context.[48] The original article's author, however, insisted that his use of the comment was not misleading. His transcript of the interview with Pedroia quoted Pedroia as saying "It's a dump. You can quote me on that. I don't give a shit."[49]
Pedroia has expressed an interest in bigfoot, including tweeting about the show Finding Bigfoot from his Twitter account.[50][51]
Pedroia enjoys playing the game cribbage; he and former manager, Terry Francona, used to play together.[52][53]
