Award Announcement
Acceptance Speech
Remarks by Senator Edward M. Kennedy
In 1991, after a careful, first-hand examination of his state's deteriorating fiscal condition, Governor Lowell Weicker of Connecticut shocked many residents of the state by proposing a first-time-ever personal income tax as part of his fiscal year 1992 budget package. He believed that for Connecticut to survive its worst financial crisis since the Depression and meet fairly its obligations it would have to accept an income tax along with substantial spending cuts. Governor Weicker demonstrated tremendous political courage and risked his career by challenging the status quo and the popular bipartisan anti-income tax tradition. Despite intense political and public criticism, threats to his safety, and large-scale bitter protests, he persevered and finally prevailed in this fight. During a speech at Yale University in 1991, Weicker stated that, "Respect - if not reelection - comes from speaking the truth, standing up for what you believe in and taking some licks."
In a powerful State of the State address a month after his inauguration as governor in 1991, Lowell P. Weicker Jr. sent shock waves throughout Connecticut by proposing a personal income tax as part of his 1992 budget package. Weicker risked his career by challenging a popular bipartisan anti-income tax tradition that was the touchstone of state politics. Despite intense political and public criticism, threats to his safety, and large-scale protests, he persevered and finally prevailed. On August 23,1991, after six months of deadlock in a rancorous battle, Governor Weicker's broad-based budget package, including the income tax and substantial spending cuts, was approved by the Connecticut legislature.
A liberal Republican for 18 years in the United States Senate, Weicker left the Republican party in 1990, claiming, "I was a damn good Republican, It was the party that changed, not me." When he ran for governor of Connecticut, Weicker denounced the two major parties and founded his own independent "A Connecticut Party."
During the gubernatorial campaign, the desperate condition of the Connecticut economy dominated the race. One of only 10 states without an individual income tax, Connecticut had a long history of bipartisan resistance to such a tax. In 1971, when an income tax was passed, it caused an immediate revolt and the law was repealed within weeks. After the stock market crash in 1987, the state began to experience a period of continuing decline, and by 1988, the deficit was more than $150 million. Refusing to consider an income tax as an alternative, the legislature obtained nearly $1 billion in new revenues by adopting the highest sales tax and corporate tax rates in the country. By the end of the 1991 fiscal year the state was faced with a record $963 million deficit. Connecticut appeared ready to consider alternative options.
In the 1990 campaign for governor, Weicker kept his options open, even after the other candidates declared war on taxes or avoided the debate by calling for a referendum. After his victory, he reviewed the facts and became convinced that a personal income tax was needed for Connecticut to survive its worst financial crisis since the Depression and fairly meet its obligations to the people. On February 13, 1991, before the General Assembly, he proposed the income tax and substantial spending cuts as part of his budget package.
He explained his position in his State of the State address:
"Neither you nor I signed on to muck around for two to four years in the mistakes of the past. We're in the future business so let's get on with life in Connecticut, not debt. Now, as with anything new, there are those who will grimly hang onto the old. I predict the saying 'turf battle' will achieve a whole new definition in Connecticut in 1991…The change begins with the deficit. The themes are fairness and effectiveness
"I went into budget deliberations seeking to avoid an income tax... No rank was pulled in the debate. Both sides had spirited and conscientious advocates. Facts had to carry the day -facts linked not only to a past but to a future.
"The good news is what this course promises for the business climate of Connecticut - allowing it to compete again with all other states and the world; encouraging small business, offering new and expanding jobs and thus generating revenue.
"The political system is all of us in the state of Connecticut, We all had the means to give direction to our revenue and spending habits - and we didn't choose to do so. It wasn't only the fact that the legislature didn't. The people chose not to… I know we can do this together. Not me, not you, not Democrat, not Republican, not Connecticut Party -- but us.
"If we are fair and set forth those values that relate to others and not ourselves, then we will have done what we were elected to do."
The address created a storm of controversy and incited the largest single protest in the history of the state. Weicker was compared to Adolf Hitler, received threats to his safety, and was hanged in effigy. Many of the people who had voted for his election felt betrayed by his decision.
Weicker demonstrated extraordinary political courage by challenging the anti-income tax tradition and fighting for change. His steadfast leadership on this major issue stands as a reminder for all American citizens and officials that governments at every level in this country can and must find the resources needed to meet their obligations to the people they serve. As Weicker stated on October 9,1991 during a speech at Yale University, "Respect , if not re-election, comes from speaking the truth, standing up for what you believe in and taking some licks."
Weicker's courageous stand for principle is mirrored in John F, Kennedy's words in Profiles in Courage: "A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality."
Lowell Weicker began his political career in 1962 when he was elected to the Connecticut General Assembly. He was re-elected twice, and served concurrently as First Selectman of Greenwich from 1964 to 1968. In 1968, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's fourth district. He was elected to the Senate in 1970, and re-elected in 1976 and 1982.
In 1973, Weicker was appointed to the Senate Watergate Committee and became the first Republican Senator to take a public position against President Nixon. He grew in national prominence as a Senator with a conscience, prepared to set party loyalty aside in favor of principle. As his career progressed, he was often singled out for his courage to stand alone on difficult issues and for his ability to work with other members of Congress regardless of their party affiliation. His integrity and staunch adherence to principle earned him the 1988 Wayne Morse Political Integrity Award.
For 18 years in the Senate, Weicker used his clout on behalf of the people of his state. As Chairman and later ranking Republican member of the Senate appropriations subcommittee that funded health and education programs, he was able to block many of the Reagan budget cuts he opposed. He authored laws to protect the rights of the disabled, aid the homeless and protect small business.
Born in Paris in 193l, Weicker graduated from the Lawrenceville School in 1949, Yale University in 1953 and the University of Virginia Law School in 1958. He served in the U.S. Army as a First Lieutenant from 1953 to 1955, and in the Army Reserve from 1958 to 1964.

Hitachi began selling 1 TB hard disk drives () to consumers in 2007. Prior to that, HDDs were relatively small and expensive. For example, when the Personal Computer XT -- the successor to the original IBM -- was released in 1983, it was the first PC to include a built-in hard drive as a standard feature. At the time, HDDs were available in 10 megabyte () or 20 MB capacities. It was not until 1991 that 1 GB disks were available to consumers, and even then a gigabyte of storage cost nearly $3,000.

Tue, 11 May 2010 21:47:36 GMT —
LISBON, Portugal (AP) " In his most thorough admission of the church's guilt in the clerical sex abuse scandal, Pope Benedict XVI said Tuesday the greatest persecution of the institution "is born from the sins within the church," and not from a campaign by outsiders.
The pontiff said the Catholic church has always been tormented by problems of its own making " a tendency that is being witnessed today "in a truly terrifying way."
"The church needs to profoundly relearn penitence, accept purification, learn forgiveness but also justice," he said.
"Forgiveness cannot substitute justice," he said.
Benedict was responding to journalists' questions, submitted in advance, aboard the papal plane as he flew to Portugal for a four-day visit.
In a shift from the Vatican's initial claim that the church was the victim of a campaign by the media and abortion rights and pro-gay marriage groups, Benedict said: "The greatest persecution of the church doesn't come from enemies on the outside but is born from the sins within the church."
Previously, he has taken to task the abusers themselves and, in the case of Ireland, the bishops who failed to stop them.
Benedict has promised that the church would take action to protect children and make abusive priests face justice. He has started cleaning house, accepting the resignations of a few bishops who either admitted they molested youngsters or covered up for priests who did.
Critics are demanding more. They recall that while Benedict has scolded his church and accepted some bishops' resignations, none of them has been actively punished or defrocked, even those who admitted molesting children.
"Many are tiring of hearing about his 'strong comments.' They want to see strong action," said David Clohessy, director of the main U.S. victims' group, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
Portugal has reported no cases of abuse, and the pontiff was expected to address other issues during his appearances here, especially the neglect of Christian values.
After staying in the capital, the 83-year-old pope was due to go to the shrine at Fatima, in central Portugal, on Wednesday and to Porto, the second-largest city, on Friday.
At least 500,000 people are expected to attend his Mass in Fatima on Thursday, the anniversary of the day in 1917 when three Portuguese shepherd children reported visions of the Virgin Mary.
Church bells rang out in Lisbon as the pontiff proceeded through the Atlantic port city in his popemobile. Several thousand people lined the streets on a showery day, many shouting, "Viva o Papa!" Some stretches of the route were thinly attended, however.
Portugal is nearly 90 percent Catholic, but only around 2 million of its 10.6 million people describe themselves as practicing Catholics. In recent years, Portugal has drifted away from the church's teachings.
Its center-left Socialist government passed a law in 2007 allowing abortion. The following year, it introduced a law allowing divorce even if one of the spouses is opposed. It said the legislation was part of Portugal's "modernization."
Benedict, who has expressed concern about the forfeiture of traditional values in Europe, sharply criticized Portugal's abortion law in remarks at Lisbon airport. He also decried the failure of public officials to uphold the sanctity of life.
"The point at issue is not an ethical confrontation between a secular and religious system, so much as a question about the meaning that we give to our freedom," he said.
The pontiff's visit coincides with another tense moment between the elected authorities and the church.
Conservative President Anibal Cavaco Silva has to decide by next week whether to veto or ratify a bill passed by Parliament that would make Portugal the sixth country in Europe allowing same-sex couples to marry.
Benedict did not comment on that development, but he returned to his criticism of the financial and economic crisis which, he said, demonstrated the need for "an ethical component" in running the global financial system. His 2009 encyclical, "Charity in Truth," outlined his vision for greater moral responsibility in the economy.
Portugal is western Europe's poorest country and many have suffered acute hardship after the global downturn. Portuguese bishops last year drew attention to what they called "scandalous levels of misery" in the country.
Cavaco Silva said the pontiff had arrived at a time of uncertainty that was testing Portugal's strength as a community.
"In these times, men require someone bearing a message of hope to meet their thirst for justice and solidarity," he told the pope.
Benedict attended a welcome ceremony at the 16th-century Jeronimos monastery and church in the Lisbon suburb of Belem, which means Bethlehem in Portuguese.
Inside the vaulted Jeronimos church, the pope stood and watched a children's choir sing, giving a nod of appreciation. The pontiff knelt and crossed his hands on a gold and crimson cushion to pray in the silent church.
Jeronimos was built to celebrate the feats of Portuguese maritime explorers who were the first Europeans to set foot in parts of Africa, India and Latin America. The Crown was allied with the Catholic church on those voyages which, as well as endowing Portugal with huge wealth, also sought to convert natives they encountered.
"Portugal has gained a glorious place among the nations for service rendered to the spreading of the faith: in all five continents there are local churches that owe their origin to the Portuguese missionary activity," the pope said at an evening open-air Mass in Lisbon's main riverside square, Terreiro do Paco. Officials said 150,000-200,000 people attended the celebration.
Some 10,000 children from the civic movement Eu Acredito ("I Believe") stood next to a special altar for the pope.

Daily Links, July 31: Catholics for freedom, fertility, and the GOP
Tomorrow is the day that the federal regulations on health insurance policies officially take effect, including the much debated requirement that employers cover contraception in their employee health plans. Religious employers who don't already qualify for an exemption will still have 12 more months to work out the details, but opponents of the law are piling on the rhetoric in honor of the August 1 deadline, calling it an end to religious freedom in America.
So what is religious freedom, anyway? According to Hillary Rodham Clinton, "It's not just about the right of Roman Catholics to organize a Mass, or Muslims to hold a religious funeral, or Baha'is to meet in each others' homes for prayer, or Jews to celebrate High Holy Days together – as important as those rituals are. Religious freedom is also about the right of people to think what they want, say what they think, and come together in fellowship without the state looking over their shoulder."
In Los Angeles, a Catholic school is showing how a little creative marketing can turn around enrollment numbers.
A former employee of the Archdiocese of Chicago has found success using church-approved fertility treatments (one that we wrote about in our October 2011 story on Catholics and fertility). A former fertility doctor has also charted a new course in his medical career and moved away from IVF due to his Catholic faith.
And a group of prominent lay Catholics--all former U.S. ambassadors to the Holy See--have begun a new "Catholics for Romney" campaign to rally Catholic support for Mitt in the lead up to November.

Veterans learn to adjust to academic life at Jacksonville colleges
Source: Jacksonville Daily Record, 11/20/12
View Original Article
By William Browning
Danielle D'Amato joined the Navy after she graduated high school in 2001 because she wanted to see the world and get out of Woodstock, N.Y.
A culinary specialist, she served for eight years. In that time she got married and moved to Jacksonville. When she left the military in 2009, she stepped into a tough economy. The best opportunity she found was an assistant manager gig at Dunkin' Donuts that she felt didn't pay enough.
"In today's market, you really need a college degree," she said.
So she began going to Florida State College at Jacksonville on the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which President Barack Obama enacted in 2009 for anyone who has served since Sept. 11, 2001. Depending on how many months of active service a veteran served, the program can cover up to 100 percent of college tuition.
D'Amato's story is becoming more and more common.
As groups of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans return from overseas and exit the military, many are enrolling in college.
According to Randal Noller, spokesman with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there were about 470,000 Post-9/11 GI Bill enrollments for the fall 2012 semester. In spring 2012, that number was roughly 416,000.
Colleges in Jacksonville are reporting growing numbers of student veterans. At Jacksonville University the number of student veterans attending in fall 2011 was 285. This semester there are 345. At the University of North Florida there are roughly 1,000 veterans attending college. Six veterans are enrolled at Edward Waters College this semester.
While those numbers grow, stepping onto a college campus is a big change of pace and culture for many military veterans.
D'Amato received an associate's degree from FSCJ and is now a biology major at Jacksonville University. While she enjoys school, her college experience has been challenging in ways foreign to traditional students. For example, at 29 she is about a decade older than most of her classmates.
"I am literally closer to the age of my professors than the kids in my classes," she said. "It's hard to find cliques."
She is also married with a mortgage and credit card bills to pay. And she has yet to fully shake "the military way."
"Coming from the military, it is hard when teachers tell me I can work on a project whenever I want — I'm not used to that," she said. "I'm used to, 'This is your project, this is how you do it, exactly like this.' That came from the Navy."
D'Amato is the president of JU's Student Veterans of America Club chapter. That interaction helps her make connections and find support in her peers in similar situations.
Rich Carey, transition coach with the Military & Veterans Resource Center at the University of North Florida, said the brotherhood servicemen and women develop while on active duty is the reason colleges work to create atmospheres where veterans help other veterans.
"It's a shock for many," he said of going from the service to a college campus. "You've been in the military and it can kind of be like being institutionalized. You're in a closed system. Everything is right there. Now you walk out of that and you come to this system and it's wide open."
Ray Wikstrom, director of the Military & Veterans Resource Center at UNF, said his office opened in 2009 to help student veterans navigate the VA education benefit process. Since then it has grown in size and purpose. There are roughly 1,000-plus veterans attending UNF. The center now assists them with educational issues, medical issues, tutoring and academic advising.
One of the constant focuses, Wikstrom said, is "veteran on veteran" help.
"The old saying is, 'Never leave anybody behind,' " Wikstrom, a veteran himself, said. "Same thing here. They feel more comfortable talking to veterans."
Fred Culvyhouse, director of staff, students and veterans services with the Military Public Safety and Security Division at FSCJ, likened the change from military life to college life to "dropping off a ledge."
"The doors open and you're out there," he said. "You've got to start making choices that before you really didn't have to make. We help guide. We are helping them be contributors to the country they have already served."
Culvyhouse assists veterans at FSCJ — there are roughly 2,400 today and that number is expected to crack 3,000 in the spring — in translating their military expertise over into possible careers that they begin working toward through classes at FSCJ. He also helps coordinate mentor relationships at the school with veterans.
"I've always found that we stick together," said Richard Depontes, a 22-year-old student at FSCJ and Air Force reservist. "We understand each other, each other's experiences. It seems like we migrate toward one another."
D'Amato is set to graduate from JU in the fall of 2013. Despite the challenges she has faced during her college time, she is grateful for the opportunity her military service has afforded her.
"If it wasn't for the Navy, I wouldn't be in school," she said.

We have lots of great information in the forums and most everyone is willing to lend a hand or at least help troubleshoot any problems you might run into.Look forward to meeting you at a future event, as the weather gets warmer we should be having some garage days and get togethers.
Do you have HID's or just the standard Halogen? If you have HID's they should auto level and it could need to be reset or possibly the level motors are our of whack. Though I doubt both would go out at the same time and behave that way.
Hey Tiff. You are everywhere these days.
Welcome. I would the difference between HID's and halogens would be obvious...HID's= super bright. Halogens=the suck.
My problem is that the lights are pointed to the ground so they could be spotlights and they still wouldnt help me right now. LOL! It did finally dawn on me that HID or Halogen, shouldn't matter as far as adjustment goes right?
it does matter. since factory HID's have a self leveling mechanisim you'll need to use a vag-com to zero out the leveler before doing any aim adjustment.
Not entirely true. Mine were aftermarket and did have anything so to keep my dash clear of "out of level" warnings, I had to recode the lights to halogens. It sounds like it could simply be a bad original light install. Either way, if they're pointed near straight down, it's going to do nobody any good.EDIT: Just saw her pics...those are projector housings so I'm placing money on un-level HIDs.
JR you are correct in terms of aftermarket, but prior to the posting of the pictures, from a purely factory application then HIDs motor, Halogen manual.However, now that we have pics! Get together with someone with a VAG-COM and they should be able to help you get those level. You can also check for any stored codes, such as ones that might be thrown in relation to the lights being out of whack.Check the AudiWorld forums as well, there should be a default code setting for the lights. My guess is someone messed aorund with the settings and put in a bad code. There are some re-coding things you can do with these cars to get different behavior. Such as using the remote key fob to operate the windows/sunroof and so forth.If the wrong instructions are used or the incorrect code for the options the car has there can be some negative results. I;m not saying this is exactly from that, but I suspect someone played around with recoding and it caused the lights to aim way down.Otherwise it's possible that with a fault they do it automagically? When you turn the lights on they are supposed to auto level, and since they aren't that's what you need to try and find out. It either thinks down is level or something is hosed up.
I would be happy to look at the car for you. The shop is just off Santa Fe on West Evans.- Randy

Recently Appointed Board Member Joins Management Team to Oversee Branding and Product Strategy
Recently Appointed Board Member Joins Management Team to Oversee Branding and Product Strategy
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 20, 2014) - Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCQB: PLPL), a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts for industries including health, wellness, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical, announced today that Jamen Shively, a leading voice in the burgeoning marijuana industry and recently appointed Board Member of Plandaí, has been named as Vice President of Global Marketing.
As VP-Global Marketing, the company released, Mr. Shively will be responsible for building brand awareness and marketing strategy for all of Plandaí's operations including the Diego Pellicer® medical cannabis line as well as the Phytofare™ botanical extracts such as the Green Tea Catechin Complex and the Limonoid Glycoside Complex.
Roger Duffield, Chief Executive Officer of Plandaí, commented on Mr. Shively's new position within the Company, "We're excited to bring Jamen fully into the Plandaí fold. He did a brilliant job building the Diego Pellicer brand, and we're confident that he will build on this experience as we launch the first of our products in the coming weeks. Our goal is to become the leading name in highly bioavailable botanical extracts for both nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. Jamen has the vision and expertise to help further us towards that end."
Mr. Shively stated, "I could not be more pleased to come aboard Plandaí, first as a Director and now as a full-time member of the management team. Plandaí is uniquely positioned in that it has no real direct competition -- no one else in the market is selling high bioavailability plant extracts. Consumers are starting to demand more from their vitamins and supplements and asking to what extent are the billions of dollars being spent on such products actually increasing health and wellness. My role with Plandaí, as I see it, is to educate the consumer that they need to demand more from their supplements while also telling the Plandaí story. We have a unique opportunity with Plandaí's technology to fundamentally change how we address wellness, health and prevention through natural, botanical solutions."
He added, "I am also extremely excited about the application of Plandaí's technologies to cannabis, which I believe will revolutionize the application of cannabis to preventive and therapeutic health, under the Diego Pellicer brand. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me and for my colleagues at Plandai to change the world by improving the health and wellness of mankind through 100% natural plant extracts. We are unlocking the potential of nature's plant nutrients for humans and animals alike."
Jamen Shively, age 45, has a background in engineering and marketing, with specialties in artificial intelligence, the modeling and optimization of complex networks, and the creation and positioning of new categories of products and services. Jamen co-founded Diego Pellicer Inc. in 2012 and built the brand from zero to the #1 most recognized brand of cannabis in the world in less than one year. Prior to founding Diego Pellicer, Jamen was a Corporate Stategy Manager for Microsoft from 2003 to 2009, where he focused on the creation and development of new categories of software products and online services. Preceding his Microsoft career he headed Shively International Inc., which built and operated both cybercafés and educational computer centers in Mexico. Just prior to founding Diego Pellicer Inc., Jamen founded and headed the online marketplace for the specialty food industry, Findood, winning first place in the Northwest Entrepreneur Network's First Look Forum Competition for the top new startup in 2010. Jamen completed his undergraduate work at U.C. Berkeley in Civil Engineering, and did graduate work at M.I.T. and U.C. Berkeley in Civil Engineering and Materials Science. He is a Fellow of the National Science Foundation.

Embrace a healthier lifestyle and gain control of your commute, while saving money on tax and national insuranceSHOP NOW
Protect yourself, your bike & accessories, we can help you with three transparent insurance policies packed with extensive benefits.GET A QUOTE
We've created Wiggle legal to assist you back on your bike as fast as possible should an accident happen!RAISE A CLAIM
The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II is an updated version of the much loved 4000 S. Still with low rolling resistance & fantastic puncture protection it has advanced BlackChili compound for low rolling resistance, high mileage & maximum wet weather grip

|Tyre TPI:
|Wheel Size:
|700c (622)
Vectran™ Breaker
Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk, like Vectran, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight – exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bike tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
BlackChili Compound
Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage.
These tubular tyres are designed for tubular rims, these are glued on using tubular cement or tubular tape. They are the preferred choice for serious riders and professionals when all that matters is performance. A tubular is a sealed unit with an inner tube sewn into the tyres casing, this means the tubular is perfectly round in profile and offers a better feel when cornering. Vittoria have introduced open tubulars which are the same design as their tubular tyres but with a bead for use on a clincher rim, these will offer the closest feel of a tubular but the ease of repair associated with a clincher. Sizing is subtly different to clincher wheels and can be a bit confusing as most manufacturers still quote the old imperial sizes. However there are only 2 real sizes: 26" is the same as 650c, then 27", 28" and 700c are all the same size. We spotted this useful article on Bike Radar which explains briefly the benefits and how to fit tubular tyres.
More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new "ProTection" and "RaceSport" technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – "Handmade in Germany". In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders. This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre "Der Kaiser", but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase "Handmade in Germany", with all of its products and technologies.

At a Billion, Facebook Is Still Figuring Things Out
Oct 5, 2012 10:55 AM PT
This week CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook has reached 1 billion active monthly users.
The number is a nice round one for the firm to publicize -- especially in light of the past few rocky months. However, like anything Facebook these days, the announcement was accompanied by a healthy dose of skepticism on Wall Street. Facebook's stock barely budged after the news, with pundits noting that 1 billion users technically means 1 billion accounts that were used at least once in the previous 30 days.
Beyond the Street, though, a bit more charity was in evidence. One billion, after all, is a huge number -- no matter how it is parsed.
"Like most services, there are some people who create multiple accounts," noted Steven L. Johnson, assistant professor of management information systems at Temple University's Fox School of Business.
"Even so, it is an impressive milestone," he told the E-Commerce Times."It is significant because it shows that Facebook is providing communication and social networking for people all over the world."
Nonetheless, it does not say anything about how intensively people are using Facebook, he pointed out. "Some users are on Facebook all day long, but others may have visited the site only once to create an account. What brands and advertisers care about is how user engagement, not just the number of users."
Monetization Moves
That said, Facebook is developing traction in monetizing its user base, Covestor Model Manager Eric Steiman told the E-Commerce Times.
"The company continues to have more information about people's demographics, interests, and social networks than any company in history," he said. "They are beginning to use their leverage in order to monetize their user base."
Facebook has also put into play other strategies, such as a "gift giving" application, that could be setting the stage for a larger e-commerce platform. In addition, it has rolled out a test application that lets users pay to have their post come up on all of their followers' news feeds.
"It's still very early in the company's history," Steiman said, "and with billions of potential customers at its hands, making money in the future should not be an issue."
Growing Concerns
It is understandable, though, that the Street and social media industry are concerned about Facebook's progress.
Its growth has slowed in its mature markets such as the United States, Johnson pointed out. Now its growth is focused on emerging economies where new users have limited disposable income.
This does not bode well for the company's bottom line, he said. "Facebook already has a low average revenue per user compared to online services like Google. It has few prospects for increasing average revenue per user."
Facebook is already too big to continue growing as rapidly through new users alone, Johnson concluded, adding that the site can only maintain a long-term growth trajectory if it can develop new products and services.
Facebook Fatigue
That might be difficult if users turn away from Facebook, whether because a newer, more exciting -- possibly mobile -- site emerges or because they are tired of the privacy hassles.
Facebook has issues serving extreme customization in terms of news feeds and ads without evoking the creepy factor, said Marilyn Prosch, research director of the Privacy by Design Research Lab at Arizona State University.
"A few years ago in the U.S., the term 'Facebook fatigue' was being mentioned, and Facebook will need to continue to address this," she told the E-Commerce Times. "I am not sure they can counter the information overload that some people sometimes experience -- they have certainly tried with some of the features available to highlight certain friends' feeds while hiding some others."
Facebook did not respond to our request for further details.

The ultimate Canada Day playlist
Oh, Canada, happy 147th birthday. It's time to pour the maple syrup on the plate of greasy back bacon and break out the red and white t-shirt, and if you're feeling really brave in the summer heat, throw on your favourite toque.
And while you're doing that, here's a little inspiration for your Canada Day jams. But please, don't spill your beer in disgust — we think we have a few gems packed into our playlist of Canuckle Day tunage that'll keep the party hoppin'.
Here's our Bieber-less (you're welcome) Canada Day playlist:
Arcade Fire, Wake Up
They are one of Canada's best musical exports in recent years, and what better way to kick off July 1 than this epic opening track.
Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World
You can't go through our country's birthday without playing a little Uncle Neil. In fact, you could probably get away with adding his whole discography, but barring that, what better tune than this classic, which just happens to be one of the most recognizable rock tracks ever created.
The Guess Who, No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
Anyone who calls themselves a Canadian and a music fan in the same cold breath needs to have this one at top volume. Yes, this means you.
Bob & Doug McKenzie featuring Rush's Geddy Lee, Take Off
It may be a novelty tune, but this little comedic gem from the duo's 1981 Great White North album is sure to get at least a few Elsinores flowing. No doubt some of you will be saying, "I remember this one, eh?!"
The Tragically Hip, Bobcaygeon
The third single from the band's 1999 album, Phantom Power is a must-play for those gathered around the cottage firepit.
Tom Cochrane, Life Is a Highway
Admittedly, we got a little tired of this one back in the day, but it's always nice that you can still break it out once a year.
Bryan Adams, Summer of '69
One of Adams' most recognizable tunes is built on a few things that Canadians love the most – summer and sex.
Bruce Cockburn, Wondering Where the Lions Are
We have our own Bruuuuuuuce north of the 49th parallel, and he's pretty boss in his own right.
Metric, Combat Baby
You need some Canadian female muscle? Well, there's no better than Metric frontwoman Emily Haines.
Stompin' Tom Connors, The Hockey Song
We may be in the off season of the NHL, but if anyone questions the placement of this, they deserve a good stiff body check into the boards.
Sam Roberts Band, The Canadian Dream
Sam had a dream, and it was bang on. "Everything moves real slow when it's 40 below," sings Sam Roberts. We actually move pretty quickly, but that's just us.
Robin Thicke, Blurred Lines
You may scoff at this selection, but there's a method to this seemingly mad pick — it'll get the ladies on the dance floor.
Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian Railroad Trilogy
If you are picking just one track from the greatest Canadian musical storyteller of all time, this is the one.
City & Colour, Comin' Home
If you have friends visiting from in Lincoln, Nebraska, you may want to skip this one. Other than that, crank up this beautiful Dallas Green ballad, which should always be a staple on any Canadian's playlist, especially when you're feeling a little homesick.
Spirit of the West, Home for a Rest
Want to see grown men dance like idiots while you kick back in your folding chair and laugh your ass off? Throw this one one.
Kim Mitchell, Patio Lanterns
This is for all those who will no doubt attempt to drunkenly mumble through the lyrics before finding success in singing the title of the song only.
Sloan, Underwhelmed
It's a Canadian Gen-X go-to track.
The Band, The Weight
Just like Neil, you could probably play their whole catalogue, but we'll settle on this classic track.

Our English faculty includes Fulbright Scholars with backgrounds as diverse as the subjects they teach. Our Spanish faculty, most of whom hold doctoral degrees, have a variety of interests and skills in foreign language study and usage. They all weave years of study, travel and life experience into their teaching styles, guaranteeing a varied and challenging look at language and literature.
And because of the small class sizes at Lander, you'll enjoy a comfortable openness within the classroom - you'll get to know both the faculty and fellow students, and you'll have ample opportunity to interact with each other and grow intellectually.

In reality, our students are more likely to be found devouring a plate of home-cooked food at supper meetings of English or Spanish clubs... or attending concerts and plays that relate to classroom studies... or traveling to nearby literary locales or graduate schools... or participating in field trips that deconstruct a best-selling novel or motion picture.

James von Brunn, an 88-year-old nut, attacked the Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D.C., yesterday and murdered a security guard. Information is still coming to light about Mr. von Brunn, but the one thing we know for sure is that he is an anti-Semite.
What is most striking about von Brunn's despicable attack is the man's age. It is rare for men to be violent after around age 40; it's hard to think of many precedents for a murderer in his late 80s. It's a testament to the depth of his bigotry or mental illness.
Various media sources are referring to von Brunn as a "right wing" murderer, more or less as they refer to people like us as "right wingers." This is a dubious characterization, to say the least: anti-Semitism is overwhelmingly a phenomenon of the Left in today's world, and Leon Wolf, at RedState, points out that Mr. von Brunn's political views are typical of those commonly expressed at the Daily Kos. No surprise there.
So is the Daily Kos to blame for von Brunn's insane murder? Earlier today I got an email with a link to an article claiming that Barack Obama is to blame, since Obama has legitimized hatred of Israel. Is that fair?
I don't think so. As hateful and misguided as many liberals may be, if they aren't actually advocating violence (like Randi Rhodes, say) they shouldn't be blamed if a lone nut takes their ideology to the extreme. Vigorous political debate is legal–as is bigotry, for that matter; murder is not. That's a very bright line, and all that needs to be said on the subject. Who is to blame for murder? The murderer.

Fed policymakers grow more worried about weak inflationBy LINDSAY DUNSMUIR and JASON LANGE

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve policymakers appeared increasingly wary about recent weak inflation and some called for halting interest rate hikes until it was clear the trend was transitory, according to the minutes of the central bank's last policy meeting.
The readout of the July 25-26 meeting, released on Wednesday, also indicated the Fed was poised to begin reducing its $4.2 trillion portfolio of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
Last month's meeting, which concluded with a unanimous decision to leave rates unchanged, was marked by a lengthy discussion about the recent soft inflation readings, the minutes showed.
The central bank's preferred inflation measure dropped to 1.5 percent in June from 1.8 percent in February and has remained below its 2 percent target for more than five years.
The inflation retreat has spurred concerns the Fed may have to cool its monetary tightening pace even though the economy is growing moderately and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent in July, matching a 16-year low touched in May.
The Fed has raised its benchmark overnight lending rate twice this year and forecasts one more rise before the end of 2017.
