General Motors launched the Chevrolet Volt to the US media October 10, provoking a storm of criticism from the world's journalists and bloggers.
In its official launch, GM described its long-awaited vehicle as reinventing "automotive transportation in a complete, no-compromises electric package," although it quickly discovered that some commentators disagreed.
Most damningly, Motor Trend's Frank Markus took an in-depth look at the vehicle's powertrain and discovered that, contrary to GM's claims, the Volt's gas engine doesn't just recharge the battery - it also turns the wheels, sometimes.
Motor Trend said that at speeds above 70 mph (113 km/h) when the battery is depleted, the Volt's engine both powers the car to enable electric drive and couples to a gear to get a "more efficient direct mechanical connection" to the wheels, meaning that, in Markus's words, "on paper the Voltec has more in common with a Prius than anyone suspected."
Influential auto website Edmunds.com took a stronger line against the Detroit giant, entitling its blog post "GM Lied: Chevy Volt is not a true EV."
While CNET's Wayne Cunningham declared "Rather than a revolutionary automotive powertrain, GM has merely delivered something evolutionary," others such as the Economist were more sanguine, admitting that "as most drivers do not have much of a clue about what is going on under the hood of their car, this may not make much difference to anyone other than the most techy of drivers."
The furore over the Volt's launch could bode well for the Nissan LEAF, which is (as far as we can tell right now) 100% electric, although if you ask the Detroit Free Press, it doesn't matter anyway.
"The furor over whether the Volt is "really" electric amounts to debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin," opined the paper's Mark Phelan, pointing out that the car can't move using the engine alone.
"It's a short trip from poorly reported blogs to 'everybody knows' GM lied about whether the car is really electric."

LONDON -- Aaron Hernandez had a setback with his injured right ankle and will not play Sunday against the Rams, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter and ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton.
What does this mean for the Patriots' offense?
Hernandez hasn't been a full-time contributor on offense since his return from injury, playing 57 of 80 snaps Sunday against the Jets, and 38 of 87 the week before against the Seahawks. He totaled 11 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in those games.
So it's a matter of replacing those snaps/production, and the Patriots have a few options:
1. If they want to stick with multiple-tight end packages, six-year veteran Daniel Fells could see a rise in playing time alongside Rob Gronkowski. Fells, a former Ram, saw his playing time decrease upon Hernandez's return (down from an average of 40 snaps per game to 17.5 per game). He isn't as dynamic as Hernandez in the passing game but is a superior blocker. The Patriots have another former Ram, third-year man Michael Hoomanawanui, on the tight end depth chart.
2. If the Patriots feel that a third receiver gives them the best combination over a second tight end, Julian Edelman or Deion Branch would see his role increase.
A big factor for the Patriots figures to be how the Rams decide to play the two-TE package. Opponents have varied their approach against the Patriots, sometimes playing their base personnel, and other times playing a smaller nickel group.
If the Rams choose the nickel, the Patriots figure to attempt to get their running game going behind the two-TE grouping.
That would shine a brighter spotlight on Fells' filling Hernandez's void.

'Superstar K' Reveals The Truth Behind Rumors That The Show Will End
"Superstar K" has just spoken amidst all the rumors that the show will face its impending end really soon.

By Michael Hoffman
Japan is an elderly country. Twenty-three percent of its population is 65 or over. By 2050, nearly 40 percent will be. Nothing like these demographics has ever been seen before, here or anywhere. This is well-known and much discussed, usually in terms of the grim implications for an enfeebled economy and an already overwhelmed pension system.
But there is another dimension to it. Japan has grown psychologically old. Old age has reshaped the mental landscape. You see this mirrored in the weekly and monthly magazines. Twenty years ago, even 10, their coverage, broadly speaking, was of politics, economics and sex. Now it's of politics, economics and death. Shukan Gendai last week tackled the latter issue almost in party mode. Its headline read, "Full of the spirit of death!" — followed by two provocative subheads: "Well, come on, god of death!" and, "We'll teach you how not to be afraid of death."
Positive thinking seems at first blush a little out of place here — or maybe not. In prehistoric Japan, Shukan Gendai heard from a Buddhist priest, death was neither dreadful nor dreaded; it was merely a return to "the big life," the life we are ejected from at birth. Since the priest cited no authorities we are free to take his assertion on faith or leave it, but the 10 distinguished aging personalities whose views formed the core of the article are all for taking it. Since death is unknown, why fear it, demanded a 75-year-old doctor, a cancer specialist who's seen death at closer quarters than most. He rather looks forward to his own. The anticipated reunion with lost loved ones is attractive, but more than that, he said, only dying will solve the mystery of death. Even science seems to recognize here a knowledge boundary it cannot cross this side of the grave.
Death is inevitable and implacable, and it is important to face it bravely, but articles of this sort unwittingly remind us how close Japan is drawing, emotionally and physically, to death — not, as in ancient warrior times, on the battlefield bathed in glory, but often in swarming anonymous cities, in solitude, neglect and despair.
The monthly Takarajima (which means "treasure island") features a piece in its December issue titled "Japan: Suicide Archipelago." For 13 straight years, suicide has claimed more than 30,000 Japanese lives annually, carnage worthy (as the magazine points out) of a civil war. This is not exclusively — but is increasingly — a senior-citizen problem: Last year, people over 60 accounted for 37.8 percent of all suicides.

Their circumstances are far from those of Shukan Gendai's positive thinkers who say, as one puts it, "I don't mind when I die." It's one thing to banish the natural fear of death, quite another to feel, as telephone lifeline counselors tell Takarajima many do, that "there's nothing for me to do but die." National Police Agency figures show failing health to be far and away the leading cause of suicide, with financial problems a distant second and domestic troubles an even more distant third, but underlying all that is depression, considered a factor in 60 percent of cases- a growing sense of isolation, a feeling that "nobody cares about me."
This is expressed in numerous ways less dramatic than suicide — shoplifting, for example. Shukan Josei chronicles a near epidemic of senior-citizen shoplifting. Overall, the offense is down over the past two years, but it has soared 10-fold in the past 20 years among the elderly. During the first half of this year, 14,295 shoplifters aged 65 and up were apprehended nationwide — as against 8,769 aged 19 and under.
Police divide elderly shoplifters into two broad categories — those with no money and those with money. The former are to be pitied, and their motives speak for themselves. The latter pose more of a riddle. What draws them to a mischievous prank so plainly unworthy of the dignity of their years?
For some it's an occupation, an activity, a challenge. In Gunma Prefecture there lives a "shoplifting expert" who's 85 and prosperous, with a big house and spacious garden — hardly your typical delinquent, and yet her hobby, if that's the word, has been the bane of local merchants for the past six years. When she gets caught, she "goes into her senile act," Shukan Josei hears from a neighbor, "and she gets away with it." Is it possible she's not acting, even if she herself thinks she is?
Many elderly shoplifters, the weekly says, are glib spinners of ad-lib excuses. He wasn't stealing, just stepping outside for a second to make sure his car wasn't being stolen; she wasn't stealing, just stepping outside to see if the friend she was due to meet had arrived. And so on. Since March 11 a new strain has crept in: "I'm an earthquake victim, there's nothing to eat in the shelters, I'll pay as soon as I get my compensation money ..."
Of Gunma's shoplifting expert, her neighbor muses, "I suppose she feels that since she has no future anyway, it doesn't matter what she does." Japan must start creating a future for its elderly, if it is to have a future itself.

SYLACAUGA -- For the first time in two football seasons, the Sylacauga Aggies Marching Band finally has a place to call home.
Two years after beginning construction on a new wing of the school on the band's former stamping ground, Sylacauga High School has completed construction of the band's new practice field.
Completing the field took nearly a year longer than school officials initially estimated, making the band's homecoming that much sweeter. The band broke in the new field on Monday.
"It was wonderful," band director David Simpkins said. "It was really nice to have a place. It feels nice to know our leadership kind of went all out to give us a really nice place, too."
The Board of Education had voted in May to award the low bid of $121,000 to M.J. Brooks & Son for construction the a new field in the area between the SHS junior parking lot and the municipal pool, across Norton Avenue from the back of the school.
A new field was promised to the high school band when the school system built the addition to SHS.
Clearing the way for the field required demolishing the old Stanton house, a brick house which the school system had used as a tech building and a detention center.
The two years prior to its completion, band members lugged sousaphones, horns, stands and other practice equipment across hot pavement and railroad tracks to get to Central Park across from Blue Bell Creameries, where they were able to set up shop. And while the band had grown accustomed to its impromptu practice field, members of the current band have expressed appreciation at being able to have a field of their own.
Apart from avoiding transporting equipment and instruments between the school and Central Park, the band will no longer have to cross the railroad tracks, which Simpkins said posed a potential safety hazard. Simpkins said the new field poses less of a threat for sprained ankles and other potential injuries, as well.
Kaylee Gibbs, a senior and second-year drum major in Simpkins' band, said she was excited to have a place made specifically for her band to practice.
"It's awesome, because I remember being in middle school and having our band practice right there," Gibbs said. "It was very convenient just to step out the door and be able to do that, and the day we heard they were taking our field away to build a new building – which is great by the way – we kind of went, 'Aww.'"
Now, Simpkins, Gibbs and company plan to put the new field to good use, just in time for the 2014 football season.
"I think the kids feel like they've got a place of our own, this is our field," Simpkins said. "It's important."

Financial management at Nokian Tyres
Focus areas of financial management for 2016–2018
In our company, financial management actively influences our operations and decision-making, thereby enabling us to reach our objectives. Our Finance function carefully collects information on the operating environment as well as the different stages and results of the company's business processes. By processing this information, we aim at forming an understanding of the impact that our future business decisions will have. Good financial management provides our company with the best opportunities for planned and foreseeable operations as well as for finding the best operating models in different situations.
Reflecting on our revised group strategy, the goals of Finance in the coming years include enabling new projects and investments by ensuring sufficient cash and credit limits. Finance is closely involved in the implementation of the company's potential structural changes, including the assessment and management of the related risks and opportunities, while adapting the financial reporting according to the company's business needs. Product and customer profitability guide the company's operations, which are developed together with the business units. Finance is also actively involved in developing global processes that enable the best possible service for Nokian Tyres' customers.
The head of financial administration is Vice President of Finance, who reports to the company President and CEO. Together, they are in charge of investor relations. Major investments are discussed by the regularly convening Investment Board.
Corporate Governance in a nutshell
Our corporate governance is based on the annual general meeting, Board of Directors, President and CEO, group's management team, Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act and applicable regulations as well as the group's policies, procedures and practices. The board of directors has approved the corporate governance statement and the company's auditors verify that the statement and its related descriptions of the internal reporting controls and risk management correspond to the financial reporting process.
- The annual general meeting holds the highest decision-making power. The annual general meeting decides on matters such as verifying the company's annual accounts, profit distribution and discharging the board of directors and the President and CEO from liability. The annual general meeting also elects the members of the board and the auditors and determines their compensation. In addition, the annual general meeting can make decisions concerning amendments to the articles of association, issue of shares, granting warrants and acquisition of the company's own shares, for example.
- Shareholders have the legal right to propose matters for consideration by the annual general meeting by submitting a written request to the board of directors in time for including the matter in the invitation to the meeting.
- The board of directors is responsible for corporate governance and the appropriate conduct of operations. The board holds the general authority in company-related issues, unless other company bodies have the authority under the applicable legislation or articles of association. The guiding principles and key tasks of the board are specified in the Limited Liability Companies Act, articles of association and board's working order. The key tasks include consolidated financial statements and interim reports, proposals to the annual general meeting, appointing and dismissing the President and CEO and organising financial control.
- The President and CEO conducts the group's business and manages the company operations in accordance with the instructions and guidelines provided by the board of directors. The President and CEO may, considering the extent and nature of company operations, only undertake unusual or far-reaching actions with the board's authorisation. The President and CEO is liable for ensuring the legal compliance of the company's bookkeeping and for arranging reliable asset management.
- The group's management team assists the President and CEO in managing the company operations. In accordance with the group's meeting policy, the Management Workshop convenes once per month and it is attended by the President and CEO as well as the Business Unit Vice Presidents, service centre Vice Presidents, Vice President for Russian operations and chief audit executive (CAE).
- The group's internal control mechanisms are in place in order to ensure that the financial reports released by the company contain material and accurate information on the group's financial standing. The group has defined group-level instructions and policies for the key operative units specified below in order to ensure efficient and profitable company operations.
Risk management at Nokian Tyres
The Group has adopted a risk management policy, approved by the Board of Directors, which supports the achievement of strategic goals and ensures continuity of business. The Group's risk management policy focuses on managing both the risks pertaining to business opportunities and the risks affecting the achievement of the Group's goals in the changing operating environment.
The risks are classified as strategic, operational, financial, and hazard risks. Strategic risks are related to customer relationships, competitors' actions, political risks, country risks, brand, R&D, and investments. Operational risks arise as a consequence of shortcomings or failures in the company's internal processes, actions by its personnel or systems, or external events, such as legislative changes, unpredictable rulings by judicial systems or authorities, or changes in raw material prices. Financial risks are related to fluctuations in interest rates and currency markets, refinancing, and counterparty risks. Hazard risks are risks that may lead to injuries, property damage, production outages, environmental impacts, or liabilities to third parties.
The most significant risks related to Nokian Tyres' business are the country risks related to the Russian business environment, reputation risks, product and R&D risks, production outage risks, currency risks, and governance and data administration risks. Due to the company's product strategy, interruption risks that are related to marketing and logistics may have a significant impact especially on peak season sales.
The risk management process aims to identify and evaluate the risks and to plan and implement practical measures for each risks. Among other things, such measures may include avoiding the risk, reducing it in different ways or transferring the risk through insurance or agreements. Control functions and actions are control or back-up procedures applied to reduce risks and ensure the completion of risk management measures.

For those who follow that sort of thing, this weekend was one of the more interesting in a while at the domestic box office. There were four films that broke the $25 million barrier in the same weekend, a first in history, for instance. There was the unusually precipitious drop for "Brave," a worrying sign for the once-untouchable animation factory Pixar. There was the continually impressive expansion for "Moonrise Kingdom."
But the most interesting tidbit came in the very upper reaches of the chart, with two fairly inexpensive, R-rated films: Seth MacFarlane's "Ted," made for around $50 million, about the same amount as it took across three days in the U.S, and Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike," picked up Warner Bros for a mere $7 million in what's looking like the bargain of the year, took just shy of $40 million. Together, they serve as further demonstrations of what we said over a year ago — that despite studios shying away from mid-budget movies for grown-ups, they're often smarter investments than tentpoles (something born up by films like "Safe House," "Think Like A Man," and "Contraband" all exceeding box office expectations earlier in the year).
But it's "Magic Mike" we particularly want to talk about, because it's another example of something that's become increasingly clear of late. Ever since "Star Wars," really, studios have been banking that young men between the ages of 13-25 (roughly) is where the money is, and the evidence has more than backed that up over the last 35 years, with superheroes and effects driven tentpoles being consistently the biggest moneymakers. This year, however, "The Avengers" aside (and more on that below), that hasn't really been borne out, with many of the films targeted specifically at that demographic underperforming. Indeed, of the year's top fifteen grossers so far only three — "The Avengers," "Men In Black 3" and "Wrath Of The Titans" were targeted directly to that demographic (one could arguably include "21 Jump Street," "Ted" and "Prometheus," except that all three carried R-ratings).
What's more, even the ones that did bring in grosses have underperformed. Despite a decade of inflation and a 3D subsidy, "MIB3" is the lowest-grossing film of the franchise by $20 million; although it'll close the gap before its run ends. 'Titans' took half of what its 2010 predecessor made. "Battleship" and "John Carter" are already famous disasters. Even a highly profitable film like "Chronicle" was a sleeper hit, but barely passed $60 million — a few years ago, it might have made much more.
It's not hard to come up with reasons why teen boys may not be coming to the movies in the droves they once did — video games, piracy, rising prices, the shittiness of the product. We covered some of this last time. But what's perhaps more interesting is that the audience that seems to be stepping in. The way-above-expectations opening of "Magic Mike" is only the latest in a series of examples of female audiences — and in particular, older female audiences — being arguably more reliable than young men in terms of actually turning out at the box office .
Of course, women have been behind plenty of box office smashes in history; we're pretty sure thirteen year old boys weren't behind the audience of "Gone With The Wind," which, adjusted for inflation, is the biggest film in history. "Titanic" was another similar success. But still these kind of films remained the outliers, and the failures of films like "Catwoman" and "Aeon Flux" led to some studio executive types declaring that any film that wasn't a rom-com led by a woman was pretty much doomed to failure.
Last year was full of the usual sequels and superhero fare, but it was worth noting that of the three original films in the top 20 domestic grossers, two — "The Help" and "Bridesmaids," which each took a whopping $170 million — were aimed at women (animation "Rio" was the third). So far this year, "The Vow" and "Think Like A Man" (which connected massively with another underserved demographic, African-American audiences) have been big hits, and "Magic Mike," while frontloaded, should join them in the upper reaches of the yearly chart, and films like "Hope Springs" (which should capitalize on the same audience that made "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" an astonishing sleeper hit), "Pitch Perfect," "Les Miserables," "The Great Gatsby" and "The Guilt Trip" all have strong chances of joining them.
And as if to prove those executives all those years ago deeply wrong, four of the biggest action-adventure films of the year — "Brave," "Snow White & The Huntsman," "Prometheus" and the massive "The Hunger Games" — featured strong, impressive female leads. Even "The Avengers" featured a well-rounded female character, and it converted into 40% of the audience on opening weekend being women. Assuming that carried across the film's entire run, that translates into something like $240 million worth of ticket sold. And all this while films like "Battleship" and "John Carter" have tanked.
And this week's "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a good indication of where things might be headed. Early reports when it was announced that the film was going to be rebooted were that Sony were aiming for a "Twilight" style take, and that's actually kind of borne out by Marc Webb's film, which, as our review said, fares much better with the romance than it does with the action. The comic book geeks haven't been responding especially well to the film, but anecdotally, we know that women have been more impressed. We're not sure we'd go quite as far as to say that it's the first superhero film aimed at women (marketing has been chasing kids — and overgrown kids — more), but it does feel like that's the film that Webb set out to make.
It would be nice if a single one of the female-driven hits was actually directed by a woman ("Brave" was co-helmed by Brenda Chapman, but she was fired halfway through the shoot), but we'll take the baby steps for now. And while the myth that female-driven event movies are box office poison has finally been put to bed, it should be noted that audiences won't tolerate being condescended to (please see the lukewarm reception to "What To Expect When You're Expecting" — though, much of that marketing seemed overly focused on getting dudes in the theater, which also may have been an issue). And we increasingly feel that the evidence is there that if studios want to sleep a little better at night, it's worth them easing off the relentless targeting of teenage boys, and start courting the ladies. But what do you think? Is this summer merely an oddity? Are we reading too much into this all? Weigh in in the comments section.

Access to Commitment Devices Reduces Investment Incentives in Oligopoly
In this paper we analyze incentives to invest in capacity prior to a sequence of Cournot spot markets with varying demand. We compare equilibrium investment in the absence and in presence of the possibility to trade on forward markets. We find that the access to strategic devices (such as forward contracts as analyzed by Allaz and Vila (1993), or, equivalently strategic delegation as analyzed by Fershtman and Judd (1987) or Vickers (1985)) prior to spot market competition reduces equilibrium investments.

A simple method to embed noble metal (Ag, Au) nanoparticles in organic–inorganic nanocomposite films by single step method is described. This is accomplished by the assistance of Keggin ions present in the composite film. The photochemically reduced composite film has served both as a reducing agent and host for the metal nanoparticles in a single process. The embedded metal nanoparticles in composites film have been characterized by UV–Visible, TEM, EDAX, XPS techniques. Particles of less than 20 nm were readily embedded using the described approach, and monodisperse nanoparticles were obtained under optimized conditions. The fluorescence experiments showed that embedded Ag and Au nanoparticles are responsible for fluorescence emissions. The described method is facile and simple, and provides a simple potential route to fabricate self-standing noble metal embedded composite films.

Weluree Ditsayabut, Miss Universe Thailand, has given up her title after just one month.
Ditsayabut gave up the title of Miss Universe Thailand over comments she made prior to earning the title. The comments made by Ditsayabut were against "red shirt" activist, who she claimed should all be executed, reports NBC News.
The comments made by Ditsayabut were noticed by several people and she was criticized for her comments on social media websites, such as Twitter (TWTR) and Facebook (FB). Ditsayabut claims she gave up the title of Miss Universe Thailand to avoid the criticism and reduce her mother's stress. It's unknown if the first runner up from the contest will take her place and title, NBC news notes.
"At first, my family was happy for me when I was crowned," the former Miss Universe Thailand told The Phuket News. "But there's no more happiness following waves of criticism from the society."
America recently crowned Miss USA. The winner of the title is Nia Sanchez from Nevada.

Winter heat: 90 possible in O.C. today
Warm weather could challenge temperature records again in Orange County on Thursday, while Santa Ana winds continue to bluster from the northeast.
A ridge of high-pressure air along the West Coast that is causing much of the heat still refuses to budge, while warm air continues to flow from the mountains toward the ocean, the National Weather Service says.
A red-flag wildfire warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. The Weather Service also has added a beach hazards statement for areas north of Newport Beach, with surf expected to be as high as 6 feet.
Both high temperatures and winds should ease slightly over the weekend, then crank up again early next week – though perhaps not quite to the level we've seen in recent days.
Thursday looks sunny with highs of 85 to 90 inland, 81 on the coast. Winds could gust to 35 mph.
Friday also will be sunny and 83 to 88 inland, 77 on the coast, with wind gusts dialing back to around 25 mph in the morning.
Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny as temperatures dip, though they'll stay above normal: 79 to 84 inland Saturday, 79 Sunday. Expect highs at the beach of 72 Saturday and 71 Sunday.
On Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, skies should be mostly sunny with highs of 79 to 84 inland, 73 on the coast.
Tuesday will go from mostly sunny to partly cloudy, with tropical moisture from the south possibly straying into our region. Highs should be 83 inland, 75 on the coast.
Then Wednesday will start off partly cloudy before turning mostly sunny with highs of 81 inland, 74 on the coast.
Orange County had one high-temperature record Wednesday: 84 in Newport Beach, beating the old record of 82 for that date that was set in 1961.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics traded left-hander Ted Lilly to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday for outfielder Bobby Kielty.
The A's also will get $100,000 or a minor league player to be named in the latest
moneysaving shuffle of their small-market roster.
Lilly went 12-10 with a 4.34 ERA and 147 strikeouts as the
Athletics' fourth starter last season.
Lilly was 6-1 with a 2.06 ERA in his final seven starts of the
regular season while emerging as the most consistent starter in
Oakland's powerful rotation during the team's drive to the AL West
"It's not a painless trade, because Ted was a major part of
this club," A's general manager Billy Beane said. "He's going to
be a difficult guy to replace, but just like everything we do here,
we have to sort of mix and match."
Though Lilly was surprised by the trade, he looked forward to
being a key member of the Blue Jays' revamped rotation behind Cy
Young winner Roy Halladay. Earlier Tuesday, Toronto signed
right-hander Pat Hentgen.
"You never know in this game. I've come to realize that,"
Lilly said. "It's part of the business of baseball. I don't
believe they didn't like me. Each club thought they could improve.
Oakland thought they would improve their club by adding Kielty.
It's certainly something you learn not to take personal."
Kielty hit .244 with 13 homers and 57 RBI last season with
Toronto and Minnesota. The Twins traded him to the Blue Jays on
July 16 for Shannon Stewart.
Kielty has 27 home runs, 117 RBI and a .367 on-base percentage
in three major league seasons, and he's the type of
disciplined hitter favored by the A's.
"I feel like this is my opportunity," Kielty said from his
offseason home in Canyon Lake, Calif. "I didn't feel like I had a
really huge opportunity with the Twins. This offseason, I've felt
motivated that this is my chance to have an everyday job.
"I am very patient at the plate and I do draw a lot of walks. I
make the pitchers work. It just seemed like Minnesota didn't really
care too much for that. They're more of a free-swinging club. I
feel like I mold a lot better with a club that values what I try to
Meanwhile, the A's and San Diego agreed to a deal Tuesday that would send
All-Star catcher Ramon Hernandez and disgruntled outfielder
Terrence Long to the Padres for outfielder Mark Kotsay, ESPN's Peter Gammons reported.
Kielty has long been a favorite of Beane,
who swung the deal with Toronto GM J.P. Ricciardi, his close
friend and former assistant. Kielty also isn't eligible for arbitration, which will
keep his salary down to Oakland-friendly levels.
Kielty could provide pop to one of baseball's weakest-hitting
outfields. Though they've made the playoffs four straight times,
the Athletics' run production has declined in each of the last
three seasons.
"We felt like we needed some help in the outfield," Beane
said. "It's been written where we had the least-productive
outfield in the major leagues, or close to it. Like many players,
he has shown a propensity to get on base at a high rate when he
Kielty was thrilled by the prospect of having an everyday job.
That job could be at any of the three outfield spots: Incumbent
right fielder Jermaine Dye and center fielder Eric Byrnes will
jockey for playing time with Kielty, who's mostly been a right
fielder in the majors, and possibly Kotsay, a longtime center
Beane expects right-hander Rich Harden to step into Lilly's spot
in the rotation. Harden went 5-4 with a 4.46 ERA and 67 strikeouts
in just 74 2/3 innings after joining the A's following the All-Star
If the season started this week, Oakland's fifth starter would
be Justin Duchscherer, the PCL's pitcher of the year with Triple-A
Sacramento. But Beane said the A's might sign a free agent starter.

Trade Liberalization, Price Distortions, and Resource Reallocation
We construct a time-variant, price-based measure of trade distortions in 28 manufacturing industries for a large sample of countries over the last four decades, documenting facts consistent with the argument that changes in relative prices are an important channel through which an economy's openness affects outcomes. First, we find that price distortions at the aggregate level are negatively associated with the degree of openness and the speed at which trade volume, exports, and imports grow. The negative association between trade outcomes and price distortions is fundamentally driven by the positive link between openness and price distortions. Second, increases in trade around the time of liberalization are positively related to a decline in aggregate price distortions for the sample of trade-liberalizing countries. Third, the extent of production reallocation is positively associated with the degree of relative price changes that occur around the time of liberalization, particularly across constant-return-to-scale sectors. Fourth, changes in relative prices at the industry level within countries are positively correlated with changes in output, productivity, and firm size, and negatively associated with the number of firms. Finally, we show that the neoclassical theory of trade does a poor job explaining how relative prices change during trade liberalization.

Lady Gaga Fan Resuscitated After Heart Stops Mid-Concert
Talk about a diehard Lady Gaga Fan!
Tuesday night Crystal Thornton, 33, and her best friend, Christina Tugman, headed to Lady Gaga's Monster Ball in Nashville, Tenn. But during the show's opening act, Thornton suffered a seizure and her heart literally stopped beating, CNN reported.
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga's craziest hairstyles
"She stopped breathing, her eyes rolled back in her head, and her body started twitching," Tugman said. "I was asking if she was OK, and she wasn't responding."
Tugman ran to the lobby to get help, and within one minute, an EMT reached Thornton. "[She] was unconscious with no heartbeat," the EMT said.
Using a portable automated external defribillator, paramedics spent more than five minutes until they were able to get Thornton's heart beating again. She was then rushed to an area hospital.
VIDEO: Inside Gaga's surprise birthday bash
By Friday afternoon, Thornton was listed as in stable condition; her health scare was cause by an undetectable genetic condition.
While Thornton is thankful to be alive, she hasn't gotten over missing out on the Monster Ball. She said: "I am so mad I missed the concert."

Better performance of slag concrete exposing to high temperatures
Concrete made with GGBS cement is much better than concrete made with 100% OPC at maintaining its compressive strength when exposed to high temperatures.
OPC specimens heated to 400 °C or above have been shown to exhibit severe cracking to the point of disintegration after a few days. However, it was found that concrete made with blends of 35%, 50% and 65% GGBS performed much better. In the GGBS specimens there was no visible cracking after exposure to the higher temperatures. The concrete with 100% OPC degraded to powder over the following year, while the concrete made with GGBS maintained its strength over the same period.
Further studies showed that after exposure to 900 °C concrete with 0% GGBS maintained 6% of its original strength, concrete with 30% GGBS maintained 54% of its original strength and concrete with 70% GGBS maintained 70% of its original strength.
Date source: Ecocem.
How does slag improve the resistance to fire damage?
Why concrete made with GGBS has better resistance to fire damage? It is generally agreed that above 400 °C Ca(OH)2 which is the hydration products of OPC decomposes into CaO and H2O, then on cooling CaO and left H2O rehydrates into Ca(OH)2 which needs more space than CaO causing the concrete to crack and degrade. With the addition of GGBS into concrete, hydration product Ca(OH)2 is generally reduced compared with concrete made with 100% OPC, thus improving the performance of resisting fire damage.

The State of Flash
Apple, Microsoft, Opera and now Scribd have all spoken out about Adobe's platform. What does this mean for open source?
Last week Steve Jobs grabbed some headlines (as if he needed more of them) by releasing an open letter about Apple's decision not to support Flash video on their popular mobile devices. Jobs cited Flash's status as a closed architecture (as opposed to HTML5, CSS and Java, all of which are compatible with iPhone and iPad).
Not to be outdone, Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch, the general manager for Internet Explorer expressed his thoughts on HTML5 and Flash on the IEBlog. Hachamovitch explained the merits of HTML5 and its ability to handle video on any operating system. While Hachamovitch never outright attacked Adobe or Flash like Jobs did, he did state plainly that, "the future of the web is HTML5" and briefly addressed the need for Flash in the current web environment despite issues with "reliability, security and performance."
Yesterday, Opera product Analyst Phillip Grønvold gave a similarly diplomatic statement to Tech Radar, stating "Today's Internet is dependent on Flash," but later added "But at Opera we say that the future of the Web is open Web standards and Flash is not an open Web standards technology."
And now comes news that Scribd, a document hosting and sharing service, is abandoning two years of development on Flash in favor of HTML5. The move makes it possible to view Scribd documents on a mobile browser. It also allows Scribd to utilize @font-face, a feature in CSS that allows for font downloading, helping to optimize a document both for search and acessibility.
But this isn't quite the open source victory it seems to be. If HTML5 becomes the Web standard, there are plenty of people championing patented, proprietary codecs for video, specifically Apple and Microsoft who have both backed h.264. And while the user will ultimately be able to choose which codec handles video in an HTML5 environment, there is also talk from Jobs himself of pursuing open source video codec Theora for patent infringement.

Shock, Hansen prepare for KC
I visited Shock practice today and checked in with Casey Hansen, who absorbed some punishment from Tampa Bay's defensive front in Friday's 51-42 loss.
More on Hansen, Markee White's health and other notes here.
One note that didn't make it: The AFL has extended the trade deadline to May 30th. It sounds like the three-team deal that involved Justin Allgood going from Philly to Tulsa was the impetus because it involved two marketing players ($1,000 per game) and one non-marketing player ($400 per game), a scenario that wasn't covered in the rules regarding marketing players. At a subsequent meeting, the rules were clarified and to give other teams an opportunity to make similar deals the deadline was extended.

Category: Vegan-friendly, Lacto, Non-veg
Reviews (1)First Review by tash
... - Edit
a friend noticed that this cafe served a few types of vegan burgers and could also do vegan milkshakes (as part of their burger and shake night, wednesdays i think) so a large group of us visited. it's small inside so couldn't be seated for a long time but understandable as they were very busy. they serve about 4 or 5 vegan burgers, sos mix, traditional burger style, bean, etc. they were nice but a bit of a rip off for about £7 with either salad OR potato wedges. both would just about have been worth it. the milkshake was just milkshake powder and (unchilled) soya milk also. nice selection of homemade pickles and sauces though.

The sentencing and executions took place last Thursday, but details only became available at the weekend. They are the first sentences to be handed down following a series of violent attacks this year by Uighur nationalists against Chinese rule. The Yining riots, which in early February killed nine people and injured 200, were followed by bus bombings later that month in the Xinjiang provincial capital of Urumqi, killing nine and wounding 74.
A subsequent bus bomb blast in Peking was also presumed the work of Muslim separatists.
All those charged in Yining were ethnic Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim nationality which for decades has sporadically attempted to throw off Chinese rule and set up an inde- pendent "East Turkestan" state.
As well as the three executions, one man was sentenced to life in prison and 26 were given jail terms ranging from 7 to 18 years, said the Xinjiang Daily, describing them as the first batch of rioters to be sentenced. A local Communist Party official was quoted as saying: "What they did ... seriously disturbed and disrupted our political stability and unity".
While few Uighurs probably support indiscriminate bus bombings by the separatists, anti-Chinese sentiments are likely to be fuelled by heavy- handed judicial procedures in which large numbers of Uighurs are arrested and processed quickly through a legal system which almost never finds suspects not guilty. Earlier this month, 10 people were arrested for the Urumqi bus bombings. No arrests have yet been made for the Peking blast.
Yining is just across the border from Kazakhstan, base for the United Revolutionary Front of Eastern Turkestan, an exiled group which claims links with Uighur separatists inside Xinjiang. In the Kazakh capital, Almaty, a spokesman told Reuters news agency that the sentencing would "lead to new spontaneous and massive protest actions. The authorities are merely pushing Uighurs to active revolt".
Anti-Chinese sentiments run high in Xinjiang, where the ethnic minorities accuse Peking of plundering the province's oil reserves with little benefit to the locals. An influx of Han Chinese, who now account for 38 per cent of the 16 million population, has exacerbated tensions.
Violent Uighur separatism is the biggest threat to Peking's claim that China's ethnic minorities are content under Com munist Party rule.Reuse content

In recent trading, shares of Resolute Energy Corp have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $38.33, changing hands for $39.12/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level.
Plus other sectors to watch in this rotation.
The rally in oil prices may last longer than many traders think it will.
If breadth doesn't start to broaden that is going to be a problem.
The dilemma is that strong momentum often is underestimated yet makes entry points increasingly difficult.
