The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
Of course, on the train is a plethora of characters, all of whom will get some attention. There is the tarot card reader, the retired priest, a couple who plans to marry on the train, the movie producer, train attendant, a bartender - Elvis impersonator, and Eleanor, a woman whom Tom loved with all his heart a few years ago, but who had broken off the relationship. It almost seemed like a Love Boat, but set on a train. To add a bit to the adventure, there is a thief on board who is pilfering object from the passengers. Think Murder on the Orient Express except this is theft. Trains are great backdrops for crime!
The train wends its way across the country and the characters form those kinds of bonds that happen when traveling in a group. From Chicago on, Baldacci begins foreshadowing a vicious storm that threatens the Rockies. It is inevitable that it will impact this trip. The reader must suspend belief a bit to think that meteorologists with today's instruments can be so far wrong in the prediction of a major weather event.
The book is certainly not a piece of serious literary quality, but was a fun read for the holiday season.

New mobile phone virus? A message from 3 hours ago in my friend feed (posted via Facebook Mobile) read:
I'm 8 1/2 pounds lighter thanks to the FREE trial pack of this new colon cleanser that I got! visit ExpressColon.net to get yours! zoR
Now, I'm not one to judge, but I'm pretty sure my friend wouldn't admit to something like this. There are a couple other instances of the message with a variable code at the end… in this case "zoR"
If it is in fact a mobile phone virus, my friend was using an iPhone.
Anyone else seeing messages like this?
As mentioned in the comments, this is happening to people who do not even own mobile phones. Remember to scan your computer for viruses/malware if your account posted the message. And it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change your password at this time.

Some have proposed that it is atmospheric effect from an intercontinental ballistic missile's fuel ejection. Others, that it is the remnant of a failing satellite crashing to earth. Who knows? That would make a lot of missiles being launched, though, if you ask me.
Did you know that there is an earthquake swarm going in in West Bohemia? It is at the German-Czech border and "the activity started in the evening of 23 August and is almost continuous till now. Almost 10,000 events were recorded in total up to now. Already six Mgt 3.0 events and hundreds of Mgt 2.0 events occurred. To see location of epicenters visit the page "Map of actual earthquakes".
And there is also a swarm going on in the Canary Islands, by the way, where the piece of land is hanging by a thread and if it slides into the sea the resulting tsunami could wipe out the east coast. I am not making this up, nor is it a conspiracy. It happened before. El Hierro reports, "The volcanic activity, principally at the convergence of the three ridges, resulted in the continual expansion of the island. A mere 50,000 years ago, as a result of seismic tremors which produced massive landslides, a giant piece of the island cracked off, crashed down into the ocean and scattered along the seabed. This landslide of more than 300km3 gave rise to the impressive amphitheatre of the El Golfo valley and at the same time caused a tsunami that most likely rose over 100 metres high and probably reached as far as the American coast."
Maybe this is one of the ways that the prophecy "And all the islands flee away" will come true. (Rev 6:14; Rev 16:20)
620 Earthquakes Recorded On El Hierro In The Canary Islands
"The Canary Islands Government has said it is monitoring an earthquake swarm on the small island of El Hierro where in excess of 620 tremors of low magnitude have been recorded in the past week. Earthquakes, measuring between 1 and 3 on the Richter Scale, continued on Monday and more have been registered again on Tuesday. The majority of earthquakes are being recorded at a depth of between 5km and 15 km. The Ministry of Economy, Finance and Government Security Canary has convened the first ever meeting of the Steering Committee and Volcanic Monitoring, reflected in the Specific Plan Protection Civil and Emergency for Volcanic Risk, given what it described "the significant increase in seismic activity". A statement (translated from Spanish) issued following the meeting outlined: "This committee met (Friday) at the headquarters of the Directorate General Security and Emergency Tenerife, established after the assessment of information gathered from seismic and volcanological last July 17 by the National Geographic Institute (IGN) and Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands, the situation is total normal for the green light for the information population, activating mechanisms for monitoring and oversight needed to coordinate the actions of self civil population and information contained in the Plan." "According to data provided by the seismic monitoring station IGN's located in Valverde, one can conclude that from the noon on July 17 there has been a significant increase of low magnitude seismic activity in the municipality of Border of the island of El Hierro."
Huge waves are hitting the coast of California. This happens a lot, lol. What makes this series of storm waves from New Zealand unusual is that the waves are in the top ten percent of wave heights for his particular kind of weather system. "Collins said southern hemisphere storms routinely produced waves in California, but this latest one was in the top 10 percent of known waves."
One surfer has already been killed. This news article shows a map of where the most dangerous waves and rip tides are occurring.
In ominous news, "Iran's nuclear plant connects to electric grid, the country says".
Iran says its Bushehr nuclear power plant is now online, making it the first Middle Eastern country to produce commercial electricity from atomic reactors. ... "The announcement comes just two days after an IAEA report said Iran continues to defy U.N. resolutions aimed at curbing its nuclear program and cited increasing concerns it may be developing nuclear weapons."
So Iran is finally nuclear. Not good.

According to someone who posted last week on Erik Klemmeti's Eruptions blog, the swarm going on under the Czech/German border is in an ancient volcano caldera. There are many ancient volcanoes in that area. There have also been a large number of earthquakes in Poland over the past 3 months or so. Western Turkey has been shaking a LOT with small ones, as has Greece. I'm just praying "the Big One" under Istanbul does not happen while my husband is in Turkey later this month!!!ReplyDelete

Hey all, I bought this white bongo HS with swapped black hardware from a forum member roughly 4 or 5 years ago. I bought it knowing the white would slowly cream. I love the natural cream it's turned into. However the back of the neck is doing its own thing.
Can anyone tell me what's going on there? The blue "rash" has been spreading and I have a few other spots where the white paint has disappeared.

Located at 744 West Main Street in Hyannis, Barnstable High School is the largest high school on Cape Cod. It has a student population of roughly 2,000 and a 13-to-1 student-teacher ratio. The school is really a set of "schools within schools," as the students in grades 8 through 12 are divided into five "houses."
The current building has stood in the same location since 1959 but the institution itself was created in the late 19th century. Today the school boasts strong arts, music and sports departments and regularly hosts performances from the Cape Symphony inside the Barnstable Performing Arts Center. Nearly 20 first languages are spoken in the school with a solid English support program for learners of every kind.
School Hours
Barnstable High School is open Monday through Friday, 6:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and classes are in session from 7:20 a.m. to 1:55 p.m. On half days, dismissal is at 10:15 a.m. Snow day decisions are typically made by 6 a.m. and can be heard on air at Ocean 104.7 and 99.9 The Q. The school's principal says they favor going the two-hour delay route in less severe conditions.
Seasonal and holiday closings are always posted on the school's website.
After School Programs at Barnstable High School
BHS has an extensive roster of clubs to join, everything from Anime and Art clubs to TV and Yearbook. However, the photography, drama, student council and key clubs are the most popular.
The BHS Insight is a student-run newspaper that is printed five times throughout the school year. Insight has been publishing school community news for more than 50 years and has won awards from New England Scholastic Press Association and the Suffolk University Press Association.
Minorities and culture are well represented at Barnstable High School through inclusion-based curriculums and clubs like the Gay/Straight Alliance, Imani Club, East Asian Club and others. Athletic programs run the gamut of similarly-sized schools in the region. Barnstable High School's Red Raiders are powerhouses in Women's Gymnastics and Volleyball. The Division 1 volleyball team, nicknamed Coach Turco's "Big Red Machine," has earned repeated state championships. One graduate even went on to become Head Volleyball Coach at a prestigious university.
A full list of upcoming games can be found here.
Famous Barnstable High School alums:
– Siobhan Magnus, who placed sixth in the ninth season of American Idol and has toured across the country since, graduated from BHS in 2008. She auditioned for the popular music television program a year after her graduation.
– Neal McDonough, has acted in a wide range of roles, from HBO's "Band of Brothers" to hit television hit series including "Desperate Houswives," and 'Arrow' as well as the comedy film "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2."
– Casey Sherman wrote "The Finest Hours" about the daring Chatham Coast Guard rescue of the SS Pendleton. The book was adapted for film and produced by Disney.
History of Barnstable High School
Several attempts to start a secondary school in Barnstable failed way back in 1837. It wasn't until 1871 that the town decided a publicly funded high school was a necessity and even then, trouble ensued. A feud between the villages of West Barnstable, Hyannis and Centerville erupted over where the high school would be placed. A school was established in Hyannis at first, then switched to West Barnstable, and back to Hyannis again in 1879.
After a few more rebuilds and additions, a new modern building was constructed in 1957 at the current West Main Street location. To accommodate growing attendance, several additions were made in 1963 and another in 1976. The latter added the field house, cafeteria, library and additional classrooms.
A new renovation in 1998 demolished an old space in order for the performing arts center and additional classrooms to be built.

About Our Faith
The following was adopted at the Calvary Armenian Congregational Church Spiritual Retreat in January, 1995:
The following is from the Bylaws of the Calvary Armenian Congregational Church:
"Confessing Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord and accepting the Holy Scriptures as the rule of faith and conduct, and recognizing the privilege and duty of uniting with one another for Christian fellowship, for performance of religious rites, for public worship of God, and for the promotion of His Kingdom in the world, we hereby, in the presence of God and beseeching His blessings, solemnly pledge and join unitedly to establish, according to the provisions of the Word of God, a Church of Jesus Christ. We promise to preserve the institutions of the Gospel, to obey the orderly administration of the church, and to walk together with brotherly love."
CONFESSION OF FAITH of THE ARMENIAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH
Constantinople, Turkey July 1, 1846 (abbreviated)
1. I believe in the existence of one only living and true God, the creator, preserver, and governor of the universe.
2. I believe that the one God exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. I believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and are a revelation of His will to men, and the sufficient and only rule of faith and practice.
4. I believe that mankind, in their natural state, are destitute of holiness, under the power of sin, and worthy of the wrath of God.
5. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only savior of sinners, and that by His perfect obedience, sufferings, and death, He made full atonement as the only sacrifice for sin, so that all who believe in Him will surely be saved.
6. I believe that due to the pervasive sinfulness of man, all must be regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit in order to be saved.
7. I believe that we are justified by the righteousness of Christ alone, through faith, and not by any deeds of our own; and that while good works are inseparable from a true and living faith, they can never be the meritorious ground of salvation before God.
8. I believe that holiness of life, and love for God, for our fellowmen, and for ourselves, are essential evidences of the Christian character.
9. I believe that, besides God, no other being is to be worshiped and adored, and that all three persons of the sacred Trinity are worthy of our worship, which, to be acceptable, must be offered through no other mediation than that of Jesus Christ.
10. I believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead and a day of judgment; and that the happiness of the righteous, and the punishment of the wicked, commence at death, and continue forever.
11. I believe that any number of true Christians, duly organized, constitute a Church of Christ, of which Christ is the only Head; and that the sacraments of the Church are baptism and communion.
12. I believe that Christ appointed the preaching of the gospel for the conversion of men and for the instruction of His people, and that it is the duty of His church to carry into effect the Savior's command, "Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to everyone."

Vegas Basics
If you're planning a trip to Vegas in the near future there are a few basic things you should know. First things first, walking shoes are a must for any trip to Vegas. You will probably be spending a lot of time on your feet and will need shoes that can handle standing in lines and walking quite nicely.
Second, the weather in Vegas is fairly predictable. You are likely to experience rather cool nights, particularly during the months between October and April so bring some warm clothes. You should also be prepared for a lot of sunshine and pack copious amounts of sunscreen in order to protect your skin.
Remember that the times around holidays are often the busiest times in Vegas if you want to avoid the higher prices and larger crowds you should avoid booking during these times. And if those are the times you absolutely wish to stay and play in Vegas you should make plans and book well ahead of time to make sure you have your first choice in accommodations.
It is important to remember that Vegas is indeed a desert town and that you will need to drink plenty of water and moisturize more than you might be accustomed to. This is a much drier climate than many people experience in their day-to-day lives and the heat and dryness can sneak up on you for a double whammy if you aren't prepared.
If you're a golfer, you've found heaven and should come prepared. This means you should bring your best clubs along with you and be prepared to play a few rounds. You should probably also bring a nice set of dress clothes in order to catch some of the great shows that are always playing in Vegas.
While Vegas is famous for big spenders, it is quite possible to spend thriftily and have a nice vacation for two at around $100 per day. At the other end of the spectrum, big spenders can drop thousands on one meal very easily. Pay attention to the places you are considering before you enter if you are on a limited budget.
If you're planning to stray far from your hotel or resort, it's a good idea if you plan to rent a car or drive your own. The distances here can be quite conceiving and you can easily loose track of time while enjoying yourself inside the many casinos.
Vegas is almost as famous for weddings as it is for Casinos. If you are hoping to get married Vegas style you have a lot of styles from which to choose and you are not by any means alone. More than 122,000 couples apply for marriage licenses in Vegas each year. The licensing fees for marriage in Vegas is around $55 (this is the current rate, keep in mind that this rate is subject to change) and then there are the fees involved for the chapel you use, the services offered, etc. You can choose to go as informal and small or as bold and lavish as you can afford.
One of the most important things to remember about Vegas is like the new commercials claim, "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas". So let your hair down and have some fun during your time here and be sure to make plans for your return trip.
This can be a wonderful vacation experience for you whether you are planning marriage, a golf smorgasbord, a gambling festival, to see your favorite act, or just to spend time with the family hanging out around the pool. Your trip to Vegas is what you make of your trip to Vegas. I suggest you have as much fun as possible. Enjoy the sights, watch the shows, enjoy the many great buffets, and spend some time at the hotel spa relaxing and rejuvenating as you prepare to go back home and face the outside world yet again.

The single most significant purpose why somebody opts to include ideal grass fed whey protein in his/her diet program is mainly because he/she wish to establish an appropriate physique. However, at times, most of us come to be overwhelmed owing into the wide range of options at our hands with regards to the whey protein health supplement. However, if you hold these essential factors in your mind, you would probably quickly have the ability to decide on the most beneficial whey protein with utmost simplicity. Make sure you continue reading to find out more details on these easy however effective ways:
Concentrate or Isolate
1st of all, you must determine no matter whether you'd like to pick out whey isolate or whey concentrate. Although this might sound a little bit intriguing, one among the main reasons why you'll want to come to a decision on the information is because both have a very differing result over the human system. In the event you would want to eat the purest sort of protein you then need to opt for whey concentrate because it includes 90% pure protein material. Whey concentrate is likewise supposedly reduced on fat written content and it has minimal lactose content. It can be therefore utilized by an individual who'd love to slim down and construct muscle mass. Then again, whey focus is significant on extra fat at the same time as lactose material and has more than 30% protein content. This is certainly ideally consumed by someone who aspires to realize excess weight too as muscles.
Calories To Protein Proportion
The following component even though choosing the ideal whey protein health supplement is to cross check out the calories to protein share within your pack. In the event you aspire to gain muscle mass mass applying a protein nutritional supplement then the energy wouldn't make substantially of the difference. On the flip side, if you prefer to lose fat when sustaining your day by day protein consumption then you definitely would need to employ a protein complement which has a minimal calorie proportion.
Price tag and Taste
The third level to consider whilst obtaining a nutritional supplement should be to check the style in addition to the price tag. In the event that a protein powder is expensive and helpful but terrible in expression of style, then you definitely ought to stay away from it and contemplate replacing it with a greater tasting protein supplement. So, you should stay clear of expending a fortune without having tests your complement upfront. While bulk buys are preferred for conserving money, it is best to ideally pick out your supplement soon after tasting a little quantity beforehand. Therefore, choose for the modest container while in the extremely starting.

It is not just for the self-employed and business owners it is for EVERYONE.
Did you know the #1 Most Common Problem I have seen over the years of being a Tax Preparer? Not Being Organized. Every tax season, I always have about 6-12 clients that bring me a paper bags, envelopes, and yes a shoe box of receipts and invoices.
With the Smart Phones, there are apps that can help you get organized. My favorite app that I use is called "Expensify". I have been recommending this app to all by Bookkeeping and Tax clients over the number of years. It allows you to scan your receipts, keep track of your mileage and keep track of your time you spend on a project. It will also allow you to run reports and share them with your Bookkeeper and Tax Preparer.
That is what I call a Win-Win situation.
This year, I have been certified as an Expensify Approved Accountant by Expensify and I can help you set up your company. Yes, that is right it is not just for the small business owners.

This app is for the individuals too. For those who volunteer for their Church or Non-Profit group, we can set up your account to track your volunteer mileage and receipts that you spend on these groups and we can use it for your tax return to get the deductions you maybe qualify for.

In 1952, a magazine reporter asked notorious criminal Willie Sutton why he robbed banks, to which Sutton famously replied, "Because that's where the money is." Today, if you
were to ask me why IDEA focuses on district
energy in cities, the answer would be, "Because
that's where the emissions are." Over 73 percent
of global carbon emissions occur in cities. Currently, over 55 percent of the global population
resides in cities, with that number expected to
grow to 70 percent by 2050. Cities are the primary economic and cultural engines in most
countries, and as urban populations grow, so do
the compelling opportunities to deploy cleaner,
more resilient energy infrastructure, both in
established and emerging cities. IDEA members
have focused on delivering efficient district
energy in cities and on campuses since 1909.
But the urgency to deploy these systems on a
grand scale has never been greater.
District energy is a proven urban environmental strategy. At the turn of the 19th century,
large cities across the U.S. were plagued by poor
air quality, presenting a public health issue and
an economic challenge. There were also public
safety concerns from increased risk of fire from
thousands of furnaces and boilers in individual
buildings. District heating systems were developed specifically to improve local air quality by
reducing emissions from coal combustion in
furnaces in individual buildings. Aggregating
the thermal requirements of hundreds of buildings produced economies of scale to enable
investment in more efficient central plants with
more sophisticated emissions controls.
In fact, Pittsburgh, Pa., our host city for
IDEA2019, at one time had dangerous air quality
with harmful levels of soot and particulates from
local industry and hundreds of unregulated
furnaces. In some ways, it was analogous to the
Great Smog of 1952 in London, a severe air pollution event that caused 10,000 deaths and
nearly 100,000 respiratory-related illnesses.
Post World War II, the citizens, industry and local
government of Pittsburgh came together to support deployment of district energy systems as
a primary strategy to improve air quality and
reduce the health risks.
Today, Pittsburgh is once again demon-strating how local government leadership andstakeholder collaboration can contribute to amore resilient and sustainable local economyby investing in cleaner, modern energyinfrastructure. I would urge readers to visit"ONEPGH – Resilient Pittsburgh" to see howlocal leadership from the office of MayorWilliam Peduto is fostering collaboration onissues of transportation, housing, industry and,most notably, deployment of cleaner energyinfrastructure for the next century.
One of the primary areas of focus at
IDEA2019: "The Energy for More Resilient Cities" will be "Think Global, Act Local" as industry
and government leaders share best practices
on public-private partnering in district energy
infrastructure. The conversation will feature successful and instructive cases where either public or private champions took the lead in driving investment. The challenge to reduce global
greenhouse gas emissions will require a major
overhaul of energy systems, especially in dense
urban settings, and a rethinking of energy consumption across all sectors.
Deployment of more energy-efficient district energy systems, optimizing available
industrial waste heat and integrating renewable
energy technologies for heating and cooling
represents one of the most efficient ways to
reduce emissions and primary energy demand
in our cities and communities. Depending on
local conditions, city policy makers may have
more control over district energy development
strategies, compared to other energy options,
since district energy infrastructure is more likely
to be built within city boundaries. According to
findings by the U.N. Environment Programme
and the Global Covenant of Mayors, deployment
of district-scale clean energy could achieve
global emissions reductions of 0.7 GtCO2 per
year by 2050.
Today, district energy is also a primary
local air quality strategy in China and Chile.
In Qingdao, China, public-private partners are
expanding a district energy/CHP system to
recover surplus heat from industry, cutting use
of coal to improve local air quality and health
conditions. Qingdao is one of China's low-carbon pilot cities, targeting economic development through mitigation and adaptation
through a low-temperature district heating
network. Replacing coal, Qingdao will shift to
natural gas, solar thermal, geothermal and surplus industrial heat as primary district heating,
cooling and power systems for the city popu-

Series History: UCLA leads 132-89
Last Meeting: UCLA 76, Stanford 71 (Feb. 26, 2009)
Radio: XTRA Sports 860 AM (PBP: Dave Flemming, Analyst: John Platz)
KZSU 90.1 FM (PBP: Ben Spielberg, Analyst: Jack Blanchat)
TV: Comcast SportsNet Bay Area (PBP: Ted Robinson, Analyst: Sean Farnham)
The Opening Tip
Stanford (7-7, 1-1 Pac-10) evened its Pac-10 record following a 54-53 victory over conference leader USC on Wednesday night. That win puts the Cardinal right back in the thick of what figures to be an exciting and competitive league race. Now Stanford has a chance to complete its first sweep of a two-game Pac-10 homestand since defeating the Washington schools back in 2008. Standing in the way is UCLA (7-8, 2-1 Pac-10), which has won five of its last seven since a 2-6 start.
Media Memo
Saturday's game can be heard live on XTRA Sports 860 AM and Stanford's official athletics website, www.gostanford.com, featuring the chemistry-rich tandem of Dave Flemming (play-by-play) and John Platz (analyst). KZSU 90.1 FM provides coverage with Ben Spielberg (play-by-play) and Jack Blanchat (analyst). The game will also be televised on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, with Ted Robinson (play-by-play) and Sean Farnham (analyst) calling the action.
Looking Ahead
Next up for the Cardinal is a road trip to the Pacific Northwest, taking on Washington (Thursday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m.) and Washington State (Saturday, Jan. 16 at 2 p.m.).
Scouting UCLA
Tabbed to finish third in this year's Pac-10 preseason media poll, UCLA checks in at 7-8 overall and 2-1 in Pac-10 play after a 76-75 overtime win at California on Wednesday. The Bruins are trying to reach the .500 mark for the first time since starting 2-2.
Michael Roll picked up a loose ball and scored from 13 feet out with 1.9 seconds left in overtime, lifting UCLA past Cal for that overtime victory. Roll finished with 19 points.
UCLA is 1-5 away from Pauley Pavilion, but has played only two true road games.
Malcolm Lee (14.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 57 assists) leads four players in double-figure scoring. Michael Roll (13.6 ppg, team-best 38 three-pointers, 56 assists) and Nikola Dragovic (11.0 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 76.7 percent free throws) also pace the Bruins.
UCLA averages 68.9 points and 15.7 assists per game while shooting 45.7 percent overall.
But the Bruins shoot only 34.3 percent from long range and a league-low 61.0 percent from the charity stripe.
Stanford All-Time vs. UCLA
UCLA owns a 132-89 edge in the series, which dates back to the 1924-25 campaign. Since posting a six-game winning streak that spanned from 2002-05, Stanford has dropped six in a row and eight of the last nine meetings overall. In 2009, the Bruins won handily 97-63 in Los Angeles and came away with a 76-71 win at Maples Pavilion. Stanford's last win in the series was back on Jan. 28, 2007, when the Cardinal rallied from 17 points down at Maples.
Who To Watch Against UCLA
In six career games, Landry Fields has averaged 4.1 points per game while shooting 13-38 from the floor. Jarrett Mann has scored more points (6) against UCLA than any other Pac-10 opponent while Jeremy Green was 0-4 from the field in two games last year.
Mann's Free Throw Seals 54-53 Win Over Pac-10 Leader USC
Jarrett Mann made the second of two free throw attempts with 10.6 seconds left and Stanford stopped several last-second chances on the defensive end to beat USC 54-53 and snap the Trojans' eight-game winning streak. Jeremy Green added a team-high 17 points for Stanford while Landry Fields chipped in with 14 points, eight boards and five assists, but saw his string of nine consecutive 20-point games come to an end. Dwight Lewis scored a game-high 22 points for USC, which took the court three days after learning that the university had imposed sanctions on the program for recruiting violations involving former player O.J. Mayo. Stanford looked impressive early, stretching its lead to double-figures at 23-13 following a jumper from Fields at the 6:29 mark. Tied at 53-53 after Leonard Washington banked in a three-pointer with 32.6 seconds left, Mann was fouled and missed his first free throw before making the second. Gerrity missed a shot with three seconds left and Nikola Vucevic grabbed the offensive rebound and missed the putback.
Takeaways From The USC Game
It was the first one-point victory for Stanford under head coach Johnny Dawkins and first since an 82-81 overtime win over Marquette in 2008 NCAA Tournament second round.
For the first time since Nov. 18 against Oral Roberts (a streak of 10 consecutive games), Stanford lost the opening tip.
The last time Stanford scored 55 points or less and won a game was Jan. 5, 2008, when the Cardinal edged USC at Maples Pavilion 52-46.
The halftime margin has been five points or less in nine of Stanford's 14 games this year.
Averaging 23.2 points per game coming in, Fields was held to a season-low 14 points on 5-14 shooting against a stingy USC defense. He did not record a second-half field goal.
A moment of silence was held prior to tipoff in memory of 12th-year USC radio play-by-play announcer Rory Markas, who died Monday at age 54.

WWII vets, supporters celebrate memorial's completion
World War II ended more than 70 years ago, but the memories are still fresh for Fred Simon.
"I still remember everything," Simon said. "I remember every foxhole I was in and every gun that jammed. I remember every good buddy I had and every good buddy I lost."
Simon – the namesake of Wichita-based chain Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers – was one of the veterans honored Sunday during a celebration of the completion of the World War II memorial in Veterans Memorial Park near downtown.
The completed shrine features more than 1,500 commemorative bricks for area World War II veterans, complete with a directory with each name and brick location. Close to 300 people flocked to the banks of the Arkansas River on a warm, sunny spring afternoon Sunday to mark the occasion.
"This concludes more than six years of effort of work and volunteer service," said Ted Ayres, president of the Board of Directors for World War II Memorial Inc., which was started to support the project. "The original idea was to have one section with 500 bricks, but the response was so overwhelming, we ended up with 1,511 bricks in three different sections."
The three paths paved with the bricks – which were each bought for $100 – mark veterans' names, branches of service, theaters of operation and dates of service.
The memorial also features two 6-foot-tall, 8-inch-thick granite panels. The final component for the project was the directory, which was installed in April, Ayres said.
A sergeant in the 1st Cavalry's 12th Regiment, Simon served in the Pacific during the war and was among the U.S. troops who liberated the Philippines from Japanese occupation.
Simon was one of about a dozen World War II veterans on hand Sunday for the celebration, Ayres said.
"We appreciate things like this," Simon said. "What was done back then, it sometimes gets forgotten."
Kayleen Benoit of Wichita was one of the spectators at the ceremony. Her father, 96-year-old Mel Winters, served in the Coast Guard during World War II.
"I'm very proud of my father," Benoit said, choking back tears. "This celebration makes me very proud – we can't let these veterans be forgotten."
Born in the Texas panhandle, Winters said he came to Wichita in 1940, shortly after the war started.
"It was 75 years ago, but things like this make me think back to those days," Winters said. "I remember the good and the bad. Every once in a while, I still relive those days."
The memorial project was started by Phil Blake, a World War II veteran and unofficial caretaker of Wichita's war memorials for nearly two decades until his death in 2014.

Some months ago, Actor Radhika Apte's nude clip from a film got leaked online. It was reported widely that the 14 second clip, which is from a 20-minute short film, Prada, directed by Anurag Kashyap; shows the actress lifting her floral dress to expose the bare lower front part of her body to a man. The actress remained silent on the leaked clip at that time. Now when the movie is going to release; the actress finally decided to talk about the clip.
In a recent interview, Radhika says that she chose to remain silent at that time simply because speaking about the clip before the release would not make any sense, as people would have started seeing it out of context. She decided to open her mouth now, as now the audience can see the nude clip in the context of the movie.
As an actor, Radhika must not bother about these things. The decision to do the nude scene was her choice; now in what context, the viewer sees it, is none of her business. Things would have been different if some of her personal moment or some clip taken without her consent had gone viral. As an actor she must see the clip as a professional decision.
Radhika Apte is a fine actor, if she has done something as an actor, then why try to thrust upon a fixed perspective upon the audience.
That said, her performance in a recently released Sujoy Ghosh short Film, Ahalya, where she has played the role of a young wife of an aging artist, is getting rave reviews. The movie is Sujoy Ghosh's feminist take on the famous mythological story. Sujoy Ghosh is all praise about the way Radhika Apte managed to bring an understated sensuality to her role.

Can't get to a carnival this summer? Still want to ride a roller coaster? Jason Bourne is the movie for you.
The one word that comes to mind when watching this latest film in the Bourne series is relentless.
The movie opens to reveal a greatly aged and somewhat wizened Bourne riding a jeep through a desert in some undisclosed eastern European country. We don't know what kind of mission he's on, but his demeanour is grim.
It turns out that walking away from the CIA wasn't all roses and sunshine because Bourne now has to live off the grid and support himself bare-knuckle boxing. On the upside, he's fitter than fit; on the downside, his face has taken a few beatings and shows it.
Cutaway to a snowy night in Iceland. Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles), one time agent and co-worker to Bourne is seen entering a computer hacker's lair.
Surrounded by dim lighting and computers that look like something borrowed from an old War Games set, she infiltrates the CIA's mainframe computer and downloads secret operations files.
Despite the thousands of files available to her, she locates one that shows the CIA was following Bourne long before he was recruited to join the top-secret division. What does it mean? She must find Bourne and tell him.
Cutaway to CIA Technology hub in Virginia. The security breach has been detected and computer expert Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) is able to embed malware at the last moment, which will enable them to pinpoint its exact location the next time the thumb drive is opened.
Going on pure intuition and some fancy techno-footwork, she is also able to determine that Parsons was the former operative who stole the files.
Cutaway to CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) who wants the security breach stopped at all costs. The fact that Parsons was previously linked to Bourne scares the hell out of him and we know that he will stop at nothing to neutralize Bourne once and for all.
Cutaway to the young entrepreneur Aaron Kaloor (Riz Ahmed), who heads a Facebookesque company, Deep Dream, that has more than a billion users. He crawled into bed with the CIA when he was just a start up, and he is about to launch the software's next generation, which will catapult users into a new cyber frontier.
He longs to be free of the CIA and its hold on his company.
So begins the 123-minute roller-coaster ride that takes us from Athens to Berlin to London to Las Vegas. This ride is fraught with explosions, chase scenes (motorcycle and car) and gruelling fist fights as the CIA employs every bit of technological wizardry at its disposal to find Bourne.
They even call in their ringer, a chillingly efficient operative only known as The Asset (Vincent Cassel).
If you've ever been paranoid about a lack of personal privacy, this movie will have you looking over your shoulder at every turn.
The face-recognition software employed by the agency means that crowds are no longer a safe place to disappear; it can tap into any social media post and every public location that has a security camera can now be scanned to find your face.
Big Brother is indeed watching and he's none too happy.
Matt Damon plays Bourne with a feral intensity. He is a born survivor and is able to operate on pure instinct and utilize anything within arm's reach to vanquish his opponent.
He's been "buried and off the grid" for 10 years, so it is very realistic and telling that he would have to take the thumb drive to someone else who would know how to open it as a lot has changed since he was in the know.
With Bourne, there is no James-Bond-style, high-tech gadgetry or witty repartee. Bourne has little to say and would rather speak with his fists. This film compares with The Revenant for how little dialogue this lead character is given. A scowl is worth a thousand words.
Jones is eerily brilliant as the sociopathic CIA director. He gives directives to have people killed with the same ease he would in deciding between salad and fries and has no qualms secretly dispensing with numerous CIA operatives in order to manipulate events to his favour.
Jones has honed his craft to a razor's edge and can convey in a glance whether he is bemused, weary or ready to plunge a dagger. Jones is a craftsman and it is an absolute pleasure to watch him work.
Academy Award winning Swedish actress Vikander plays Agent Heather Lee and (as she points out at the end of the film) is the exact opposite of Director Dewey.
Where he is old school, she is high tech, where he is hard, she is soft. Or is she? There is a lot more going on with this pretty, young waif than meets the eye and we are left wondering who we can trust.
While a familiarity with the original Bourne series would be helpful, moviegoers who are not familiar with the character will still be able to follow the story and enjoy the film.
Roller coasters are thrilling and fun, but this film would have been better served with a little more down time.
As an audience, we need time to exhale and brace ourselves for the next adrenaline rush. There is no time to allow us to do that, which lessens the overall thrill of the ride.
Nevertheless, this roller coaster is worth lining up for.
I give this film 4 out of 5 hearts.

Gathered Leaves: Photographs by Alec Soth at the Science Museum, London
Gathered Leaves: Photographs by Alec Soth at the Science Museum in London
includes work from his four major photo books.
Although I am very familiar with the name, I never had a chance to see or read enough about Alec Soth's work.
This exhibition delves into his work which to me felt like a road trip,
experiencing Americana seen through his eyes.
In addition to the photographs, the exhibition includes Alec Soth's books, zines and dispatches from his road trips.
Like many great photographers and writers from the American canon – such as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld – Soth takes the open road as his subject, but brings to it his own unique and modern twist.
Through haunting, intimate portraits, desolate landscapes and wide open wildernesses, his work captures a profound sense of what it is to be human. Tenderness, joy, disappointment, fear or pride – his striking portraits capture the rawness of human emotion and the tension between our conflicting desires for individualism and community.
This exhibition presents his four signature series – Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), Niagara (2006), Broken Manual (2010) and the most recent, Songbook (2014) – and highlights his remarkable career and distinctive vision.
The exhibition is accomapanied by a special edition book Gathered Leaves which includes mini versions of Soth's 4 books (3 of which are out-of-print) and 29 large format postcards.
Here are some photos I took from the exhibition which don't do any justice to the work. If you're in London, do visit this exhibition. It's on till 28th March 2016. It is also touring in 2016.
Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004)
Niagara (2006)
Broken Manual (2010)
Songbook (2012-2014)
I leave you with this video, Brad Feuerhelm of ASX in conversation with Alec Soth.
Gathered Leaves: Photographs by Alec Soth at the Science Museum is on till 28th March 2016. The exhibition will tour in 2016, the dates and cities can be found here.

Guitar Triads - Creating the Major Triad by Stacking Thirds/
In module one of my forthcoming guitar theory video course 'Triads: Inside Out' we are firstly going to learn the closed voicings of the four different triads.
Here is a breakdown of the major triad and one approach to how you can visualise it on the guitar fretboard.
If you are familiar with interval shapes (check out my free video course on my YouTube channel if not) you can use major and minor thirds to create triads shapes.
A major triad can be thought of as two thirds stacked on top of one another. For a major triad (in this example, C major) we have a major 3rd (C-E) on which we add a minor 3rd (E-G). A major triad is therefore major 3rd + minor 3rd.


text: My first introduction to "The Hills Have Eyes" universe was with Aja's 2006 remake. It was an intense, blood soaked ride, that hit me like a sledgehammer across the face.Fast forward to now... the 30 year horror addict in me always regretted not going back to view Craven's vision. I was really surprised to see the remake was almost beat for beat what the original was. The only exception, besides budget; Aja's film dove a little deeper and gave more to the characters and backstory.Craven's Hills is very "of it's time", and stays in line with most of his earlier work. You can easily argue that it hasn't aged well or maybe it was just intended to be messy. I always felt like Craven's early work is just him having fun and not really focusing much on giving a shit. That may be a turn off for some, but its given us some pretty wacky exploitation with jarring tonal shifts....Anyways...While I won't be revisiting this as much as the 2006 version, I still had a fun time. If you are in the mood for some clumsy grindhouse trash Hills is perfectly serviceable. THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977) February 19, 2018 On the way to California, a family has the misfortune to have their car break down in an area closed to the public, and inhabited by violent savages ready to attack.

We believe that analysis beats greenwash. Scientific measurement is the only way to accurately document the true impact of construction products over the entire lifecycle. That's why BASF developed the award-winning, third-party validated Eco-Efficiency Analysis. To harmonize ecology and economy, it assesses the lifecycle of a product or manufacturing process from the "cradle to the grave" in five categories:
- Resource utilization
- Energy consumption
- Emissions to air, water and soil
- Toxicity potential
- Misuse and risk potential
The purpose of the Eco-Efficiency Analysis is to enable scientifically accurate comparisons of similar products or processes. This involves carrying out an overall study of alternative solutions to include a total cost determination and the calculation of ecological impact over the entire lifecycle.

Yes. There are many factors that contribute to the sustainability of SPF roofing systems. First, no tear-off of the existing roof is required in 98% of re-roofing applications, which diverts thousands of tons of waste from landfill. Second, they are extremely durable, offering industry-leading resistance to severe weather including wind uplift and impact from airborne debris. Third, they offer an extremely long life expectancy of 20 years or more, and are renewable indefinitely with simple recoats. And fourth, they make a significant contribution to building energy efficiency. One Texas A&M study showed the university was able to pay for the cost of their new SPF roofs in 4.5 years though energy savings! And when they are combined with reflective coatings, SPF roofing systems also help combat urban heat island effect and reduce smog.

Knowing a fair bit about this sort of stuff I have no real concern as has been mentioned above, a few things to consider.
- The link is only good for 1 month, afterwards it's dead and you can only view your bill from within MySpark portal
- Each month you get emailed a new link with a new GUID so it's not like the old GUID is re-used.
- All this information is available from within the MySpark portal so in regards to attack vectors getting in and accessing your current and previous account history via your personal email address and either guessing your current password, or a password reset email and new password seems like a far more likely attack vector.
- This is the same information that is delivered into your letterbox which the vast majority of in NZ aren't secure
- It's no better or worse in many respects to attaching the PDF to an email, as it could be picked up in transit or lost at the destination since your email box was full.
So what is the big issue?

Intel to phase out 5000 series and 7000 series XeonsBy Justin Mann
According to Digitimes, Intel is preparing to phase out their Xeon 5000 series server processors, as well as their Xeon 7000 series later down the road. The Dempsey and Paxville core processors being phased out wouldn't be a huge surprise, given that they did not sell well and were very quickly succeeded by newer iterations, including Tulsa and Clovertown.
The processors are supposedly going to be phased out starting in August of this year, making them one of the shortest-lived Intel processors ever to reach market. With the immense number of choices that Intel presents with their server lineup, simplifying it may make it easier to for customers to decide.
Given that there is no price advantage in obtaining the older core Xeons anyway, there is no particular reason for them to be sold in the first place.

Self-driving cars by 2020" has been the mantra for the automotive media in recent years. But that's a couple of years away, and they're likely to be in such limited quantities and applications as to make them almost meaningless, servicewise, for several years beyond that period. In the meantime, we'll be seeing further improvements in the self-driving "building blocks"—adaptive cruise control, automatic braking and self-parking.
General Motors last summer announced it has a self-driving version of the all-electric Chevy Bolt that it could produce right now, but there's a lot more to the subject than the car. The software and infrastructure are key—including far superior mapping of the roads than we have now—along with legislative clearance for the vehicles to operate on public roads. Those aspects are going to move ahead more slowly than you might suspect, and the market for self-driving vehicles is still to be determined. We don't know how many people will plunk down money for them. So keep your service focus on what people have been buying, and will be buying in the near future, because those are the ones that will have to be repaired and maintained to keep them running.
Sure, legislative fuel economy requirements and California's 2025 target for zero emissions vehicles (meaning electric vehicles, including possibly fuel cells) are forcing developments, to an extent. However, Tesla's apparent success with EVs also is a factor that has driven GM with the Bolt, and Nissan with a new Leaf on the way. The Volvo and Jaguar announcements that they'll have some degree of electrification (EV, hybrid or plug-in) by 2020 are two other examples.
But for the independent auto repair shop, probably more important right now is a major change in the automotive market, and developments in powertrains and drivelines. Sedans have become a sales drag on the market, including the big names, and crossovers and SUVs are what's selling, along with smaller pickups.
That has translated into some new mainstream vehicular entries and modifications to existing ones. So let's get right to the major news for the 2018 models from some domestic and import manufacturers.
Kia The first example is the Kia Niro, a crossover based on the Hyundai Ioniq in that it's equipped with a version of the Hyundai hybrid drivetrain, with a host of service-related engineering changes. The Niro is not a big package. Its 6.3 in. of ground clearance help give it the crossover look. The key marketing point: It's a crossover with a combined fuel economy rating of 50 mpg, an industry first. What also contributes to the gas mileage is the use of a dual dry clutch transmission (DCT). It's a six-speed based on the seven-speed in the Optima sedan, with a smaller overall size, low-friction bearings and a specific low-viscosity fluid. The shift quality of this type of transmission is what led to complaints about the Ford Fiesta and Focus, but improved calibration techniques seem to have mitigated much of the shift judder of the DCT design. Volks-wagen, with a wet dual clutch, got enough damping to keep the shifts very smooth, as has Acura, which incorporates a torque converter for even softer response.
The Niro engine is a 1.6L direct injection 4-cylinder rated at just 104 hp/109 ft.-lbs. of torque, but with the 43-hp/125-ft.-lbs. electric motor, the overall rating is 139 hp/195 ft.-lbs. (you can't just add the numbers from the engine and electric motor). Niro uses a lithium-ion battery rated at 1.56kWh, installed under the left side of the rear seat. And it has a 12V appendage, so you won't find a conventional battery underhood, although there are charging/boost starting posts there. That setup saves a lot of weight, too. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Niro is coming, but it will not use this 12V mini battery, we understand.
If the 12V battery state-of-charge (SOC) drops due to parasitic draw, a latch relay opens to preserve the remaining charge. Pushing a 12V battery reset button on the lower part of the dash (next to the fuel door button) will close the relay so the car will start. If for some reason battery SOC has dropped too far, or to boost another car, charge cables can be connected. The positive post is beneath the underhood relay/fuse center.
The Niro is Kia's first vehicle with exhaust heat recovery (EHR), used to speed engine warm-up. It's a system from a supplier, so presumably it will be widely available (in fact, Prius has had EHR for several years). Kia estimates that it can reduce fuel consumption by "up to 7%" because it speeds engine warm-up and allows increased use of the EV mode. The system is operational at engine start-up, using a circuit with a coolant temperature sensor at the engine cooling system and a heat exchanger at the exhaust system to channel exhaust heat to warm the coolant.
The Niro's engine cooling system is a split design, so the EHR works on flow through the engine block, which reduces engine friction by allowing the cylinders to warm up and lower friction more quickly. When the engine is warmed up, a thermostatic actuator opens so exhaust gas flow bypasses the coolant heat exchange circuit. The gases go straight out the exhaust and the cooling system flow reverts to conventional—through the block and head. The EHR system also is used on the Hyundai Ioniq hybrid.
General Motors
All-wheel drive is one of the key selling points for a crossover, and although GM's system makes its debut on the Buick Regal GS sedan, a new AWD system will be installed on a number of GM applications in the near future (starting with the Buick lineup).
The system is used in transverse-engine, front-drive vehicles, so it's a natural installation for crossovers. The front transaxle provides a conventional 50-50 split of torque at the front wheels and up to 50% of the total torque can go to the rear, which consists of a rear axle with one electronically controlled hydraulic clutch assembly for each side. There's a single motor pump assembly and each clutch is applied through a valve, which, although hydraulic, is electronically actuated. So the rear side-to-side split is variable, based on road conditions.
The system can preload the clutch packs for vehicle launch, so there's no delay, unlike other systems (see VW 4Motion later in this report) that require wheel slippage as an input to start working. As with many AWD/traction systems, GM's AWD is integrated with the antilock brakes for optimum traction control, pulling torque from an individual wheel or wheels, such as at the front wheels when the rears can use them, where needed by ABS application—"torque vectoring by brake." This helps maintain the driver's directed steering path.
GM's small diesel engine is poised for a lot larger U.S. market share, despite Volkswagen's problems with emissions regulations which led to the company pulling the small passenger car diesel in the Jetta/Golf and Beetle. In fact, GM just introduced a 1.6L 4-cylinder turbodiesel for the Chevy Cruze sedan and Equinox crossover, with the Equinox the first to market. The engine is a relatively low-cost option (about $2200 over the 1.5L gasoline base engine), which enables GM to rate the Equinox at 39 mpg highway with the six-speed automatic and the Cruze at 52 mpg highway with a nine-speed automatic, the most for any U.S. market nonhybrid.
The four-valve engine is rated at 137 hp/240 ft.-lbs. of torque, so the two vehicles perform well. The fuel system runs at 29,000 psi and uses solenoid injectors, but they're a new-generation design that pulses up to 10 times per cycle. It's an all-aluminum design (head, block and a bedplate). A unique design factor is that the valve system chain drive is at the back of the engine, so any valve noise is absorbed in the transmission bellhousing. That helps make the diesel extremely quiet. Standing outside with the engine idling, you need really sharp hearing to even suspect it's a diesel.
One intake valve port per cylinder is on a "butterfly" shaft. At lower rpm and load, these butterflies are positioned to create air intake swirl, which improves fuel mixing to reduce soot emissions. At high rpm and load, they open to effectively increase the intake ports' length, for more power.
It should come as no surprise that this small diesel (unlike VW's that produced all the calibration trouble) really needs—and has—urea injection ("diesel exhaust fluid") with a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system to lower NOx emissions. GM apparently has tuned that urea injection system to be absolutely sure the emissions are below regulations, because engineers admitted that even a full tank of urea fluid—almost 5 gallons—is unlikely to last the full distance between oil changes (7500 miles). That's the normally-hoped-for urea fluid tank range for drivers' convenience. So don't be surprised if car owners show up saying the urea fluid level warning is being displayed on the instrument cluster, even though the vehicle is well short of the oil change interval.
With the small diesel out of its picture (at least temporarily), VW needed something new for its Tiguan crossover, and it has it—a fuel economy-oriented 2.0L turbocharged four-valve direct-injected 4-cylinder. The engine has a cast-iron block with aluminum head, and runs on the "Budach cycle," a variation of the Miller cycle, in which turbocharging fills in the gaps created by changes in valve timing. Miller is a variation of the Atkinson cycle used on hybrids, which uses intake valve timing to effectively increase the power stroke for better fuel economy.
The VW Budach engine has two different cam lobes per intake valve—one with short-duration valve opening, one with long-duration—and uses an electronic/hydraulic control system to switch from one lobe to the other. On light load (or idling), the engine runs on the short-duration opening cam lobes, which effectively increases the length of the combustion stroke that follows, wringing the maximum amount of energy from it. Fuel economy is 22 city/27 highway (21/27 with 4Motion AWD). This compares with 20/24 for all 2017 Tiguan models. And on the long-duration cam lobes, the recalibrated engine torque is up 20%, to 221 ft.-lbs.
The transmission is VW's eight-speed, and the 4Motion system is VW's latest generation. It's rear-wheel-axle-based, and responds only when it detects slippage; otherwise, all power stays at the front wheels, for fuel economy. However, when power goes through the 4Motion unit to the rear wheels, the electronic differential splits the torque side-to-side as needed.
Ford also will have a new diesel—a turbodiesel V6—due to appear midway through 2018. It's a U.S. adaptation of the Lion turbodiesel six from Ford of Europe. Manufactured at Ford's Dagenham plant in the United Kingdom, the diesel is offered in 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2L displacements in other markets, but the F-150 version will be a 3.0L only. No information is available yet on output. Like Ford's Super Duty diesel, it will be dubbed a Powerstroke.
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 base engine gets a revision for 2018. Displacement is down from 3.5 to 3.3 liters, because of the modifications—new heads that incorporate the dual fuel injection system that Ford is spreading across the board. It has both direct injection and port fuel injection. At high loads, the direct injection takes priority by cooling the cylinder to suppress knock. At low loads, the port fuel system improves cylinder filling.
Fiat Chrysler
Two vehicles stand out for discussion in the Fiat Chrysler line—the new Jeep Compass and the Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivan.
The previous Compass was based on the discontinued Dodge Caliber and was not very "Jeeplike." The new one is built on a stretched Jeep Rengade/Fiat 500L platform, with all the Jeep upgrades, as well as smooth-riding independent suspension all around. There are two all-wheel-drive variants—the one for the trail-rated Trailhawk model including a 20:1 crawl ratio for extreme off-roading, and the standard Terrain Select system (a knob that makes powertrain recalibrations for auto, sand, snow and mud), which also has a rock crawl mode. Although the optional automatic is the nine-speed, there's an available manual transmission six-speed with a two-wheel-drive model, which seems to be earmarked for postal trucks. The Tigershark 2.4L engine is the one powerplant offered.
The Pacifica minivan would normally be a gasoline-engine sales leader, but the plug-in hybrid, which has just become available this year, likely will be an exception. Fiat Chrysler needs all the fuel economy help it can get to meet EPA mandates. And the plug-in offers that, so (taking advantage of the federal and state rebates) FCA has priced the PHEV very aggressively. If a customer can use even just the federal rebate, the PHEV actually is thousands cheaper than gasoline-only. So don't be surprised if the PHEV version is most of what you'll see in the future in your shop.

Wheelhouse Theater Company Offers Midterm Voters With 'i Voted' Stickers Special Deal For Election Week
Those "I voted" stickers can be used for more then just selfies! Wheelhouse Theater Company is offering $30 walk-up tickets to all theatergoers presenting their "I Voted" stickers at the box office for Wheelhouse's special return engagement of Kurt Vonnegut's rarely produced HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA JUNE, for all performances through Sunday, November 11 at The Duke on 42ND Street, a NEW 42ND STREET® project, 229 West 42nd Street in Manhattan. Tickets are regularly priced $49 - $109.
The New York Times Critics' Pick production, which garnered unanimous rave reviews this past Spring and again in these past few weeks, takes a searing look at toxic masculinity, gun violence, the relationship between men and women and cultural change. Jeffrey Wise directs the production that will run through Thursday, November 29th. For more information, visit http://www.wheelhousetheater.org
Wheelhouse Theater Company's original HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA JUNE cast returns for this special engagement and features Craig Wesley Divino (Founder Faultline Theater, Hound of the Baskervilles - Arrow Rock Lyceum), Finn Faulconer (Finding Neverland - 1st National Tour), Matt Harrington (Matilda - Broadway, 1st National Tour, Twelfth Night, Richard III - Shakespeare's Globe, Harvey - Roundabout Theatre Company), Kareem Lucas (Sole Variations, Walden: Life in the Woods), Kate MacCluggage (Ironbound - Kitchen Theatre Company), Jason O'Connell (Sense & Sensibility - Bedlam), and Charlotte Wise and Brie Zimmer as Wanda June.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA JUNE takes a searing and darkly comedic look at American culture through the brilliantly perverse lens of Kurt Vonnegut. After being presumed dead for eight years, respected war veteran and big game hunter, Harold Ryan, returns home and brings with him an old way of thinking, celebrating a Hemingway-esque machismo and American exceptionalism. Harold soon discovers that the society he returns to has made attempts to progress into a more modern, enlightened cultural narrative. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA JUNE is a dynamic and often hilarious meditation on toxic masculinity and a capitalistic America's failed attempts at progress cloaked in honor and morality. Simply put, and as the first few lines of the play state, this is a play about men who enjoy killing, and those who don't.
According to Director Jeffrey Wise, "Harold Ryan, the play's protagonist, represents much more than just an overly masculine male energy. He represents a capitalist culture, where "progress" is measured in a linear fashion, based on a certain level of calculable progress and growth. Harold's behavior, and treatment of virtually anyone he comes in contact with, is a sickness that so insidiously spreads among our culture, and we see it today, more potent than ever, some 48 years after this play was penned. It's a toxic celebration of death, destruction and domination cloaked in "heroism" and "American democratic values."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WANDA JUNE first premiered off-Broadway at the Theater de Lys (now the Lucille Lortel) on October 7, 1970, was restaged at the Edison Theatre on Broadway, starring Marsha Mason and Kevin McCarthy and opened December 22, 1970.
Scenic Design is by Brittany Vasta, Lighting Design is by Drew Florida, Costume Design is by Christopher Metzger, Sound Design is by Mark Van Hare. The Production Stage Manager is Paula R. Clarkson, Press Representative is Daniel DeMello / DDPR, Production Management is by Drew Francis, and the General Manager/Executive Producer is Visceral Entertainment - Michael Chase Gosselin, Tim Sulka (Off-Broadway - Endangered!, The First Annual Trump Family Special, Midnight at The Never Get).
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is considered one of the most influential American novelists of the 20th Century and is best known for the novels Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions.Vonnegut's first play, Happy Birthday, Wanda June, had him named Most Promising Playwright. When asked about the origin of the idea for Wanda June, Vonnegut has written: "I once led a Great Books Study Group on Cape Cod and we read and discussed Homer's Odyssey. I found the behavior of Odysseus after arriving home unexpectedly from the Trojan War hilariously pig-headed and somehow Hemingway-esque. And then I remembered the blowhard father of a girl I dated in high school, who had heard of huge rubies to be found in the Amazon Rain Forest, and wanted to quit his job and go look for them. The rest is history."
Jeff Wise (Artistic Director, Founding Company Member) is a Tony Award-Winning producer, director, actor, and founder of Wheelhouse Theater Company. For Wheelhouse, Jeff has directed Ibsens' An Enemy of the People, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar and the world premiere of DANNYKRISDONNAVERONICAby Lawrence Dial. He co-produced the critically acclaimed world premiere In the Room with Slant Theatre Project. Jeff also produced the critically acclaimed revival of Once on this Island on Broadway. In NYC he has directed productions of Henry IV Part 2, Hamlet, BACK, and Dear Penthouse. Stage credits include Hamlet, Lend me a Tenor, Pajama Game, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, BACK, Three Sisters, Six Degrees of Separation, Bus Stop, and La Ronde. Jeff received his MFA in Acting from New York University.

To the editor:
In the July 1, 2006, issue of Blood, Meshinchi et al1 comment on the role of stem-cell transplantation (SCT) in FLT3/ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In their interpretation of data previously presented by Gale et al,2 they conclude that the occurrence of a FLT3/ITD may not be regarded as a negative prognostic factor in patients undergoing allogeneic SCT. The dispute between both authors concerns the fact that although an "intention-to-treat" analysis does not suggest a clinically relevant improvement in survival in patients for whom a donor could be identified, the "as-treated" comparison shows a lower probability of relapse and better overall survival in FLT3/ITD-positive patients undergoing allogeneic transplantation compared with chemotherapy.
We would like to add to this discussion by presenting the results of the AML 96 study of the DSIL (German study initiative leukemia), in which 999 patients 60 years or younger were prospectively included between 1996 and 2003 and stratified according to cytogenetic risk category.3 Of 555 intermediate-risk patients evaluable for FLT3 mutation status, 175 (31.5%) were FLT3/ITD-positive. The treatment protocol included 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy including high-dose Ara-C for all patients as previously described. Since the rate of remission was not different in patients with and without a FLT3/ITD (68% vs 63%),4 we decided to determine the impact of different consolidation therapies on overall survival (OS) and probability of relapse in patients with respect to FLT3/ITD mutation status. Allogeneic SCT using an HLA-matched sibling donor was performed in 103 patients after standard conditioning therapy. If no donor was available, the next treatment priority was to obtain G-CSF–mobilized autologous blood stem cells after induction and/or first postremission chemotherapy and to perform an autologous SCT (n = 141). If patients could not mobilize autologous cells, conventional consolidation chemotherapy consisted of 2 cycles of high-dose Ara-c (n = 132).
Figure 1 shows that after a median follow-up of 53 months for surviving patients, overall survival is not significantly different between FLT3/ITD-positive and -negative patients having undergone either autologous or allogeneic SCT. In contrast, FLT3/ITD-positive patients receiving chemotherapy as consolidation therapy had an inferior probability of survival (21% vs 46%; hazard ratio [HR] = 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-3.5; P = .001). The probability of relapse in the group of patients receiving chemotherapy was significantly higher in FLT3/ITD-positive compared with FLT3/ITD-negative patients (94% vs 59%; HR = 4.0; 95% CI; 2.5-6.6; P < .001). Of interest, as reported by Gale et al,2 the probability of relapse tended to be higher in FLT3/ITD-positive than FLT3/ITD-negative cases (35% vs 19%; HR = 2.7; 95%, CI, 1.1-6.5; P = .03) after allografting but not after autologous transplantation.
Although we absolutely agree with Gale et al in that a donor–versus–no donor or a good mobilizer–versus–poor mobilizer comparison should be the cornerstone of valid prognostic analyses, we believe it is fair to say that patients with a FLT3/ITD-positive AML achieving remission should be scheduled for an autologous or allogeneic SCT within a controlled clinical study. Our data as well as reports from other study groups suggest that until alternative strategies including new targeted therapies will be introduced, allogeneic or autologous SCTs in first remission seem to be warranted to compensate for the negative prognostic impact of FLT3/ITD.5
