Foggy early-dubstep eminence Burial and emotive psychedelic-electronic master Four Tet have teamed up before, for a pair of tracks that also featured Thom Yorke, and now they've joined forces once again, sans Yorke this time. Last night, Four Tet posted a collaboration between the two called "Nova," a six-minute track that seems to take classic Chicago house-music sounds and then refracts them through a prism. It sounds really nice, and you can hear it below.
Information is scarce at the moment, but it looks like the track could be coming out on Four Tet's Text Records.

Now that he's away from the pool, Michael Phelps can reflect — really reflect — on what he accomplished.
Pretty amazing stuff.
"It's kind of nuts to think about everything I've gone through," Phelps said. "I've finally had time to myself, to sit back and say, '... that really happened?' It's kind of shocking at times."
Not that his career needed a capper, but Phelps added one more honor to his list of accomplishments Thursday: The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year.
Phelps edged LeBron James to win the award for the second time, not only a fitting payoff for another brilliant Olympics (four gold medals and two silvers in swimming at the London Games) but recognition for one of the greatest careers in any sport.
Phelps finished with 40 votes in balloting by U.S. editors and broadcasters; James was next with 37. Track star Usain Bolt, who won three gold medals in London, was third with 23.
Carl Lewis is the only other Olympic-related star to be named Male Athlete of the Year more than once, taking the award for his track and field exploits in 1983 and '84. The only men honored more than twice are golf's Tiger Woods and cyclist Lance Armstrong (four times each), and basketball's Michael Jordan (three times).
"Obviously it's a big accomplishment," Phelps said. "There's so many amazing male athletes all over the world and all over our country. To be able to win this is something that just sort of tops off my career."
Phelps retired at age 27 as soon as he finished his final race in London, having won more gold medals (18) and overall medals (22) than any other Olympian.
"That's what I wanted to do," Phelps said. "Now that it's over, it's something I can look back on and say, 'That was a pretty amazing ride.' "
The current ride isn't so bad. Set for life, he has turned his competitive drive to golf, working on his game with renowned coach Hank Haney as part of a television series on the Golf Channel. After being informed of winning the AP award, Phelps called in from the famed El Dorado Golf & Beach Club in Los Cabos, Mexico, where he was heading out with Haney to play a few more holes before nightfall.
"I can't really complain," Phelps quipped.
Certainly he has no complaints about his swimming career, which helped turn a sport that most Americans only paid attention to every four years into more of a mainstream pursuit.
More kids took up swimming. More advertisers jumped on board. More viewers tuned in.
While swimming is unlikely to ever match the appeal of football or baseball, it has carved a niche for itself among all the other athletic options in the United States — largely due to Phelps' accomplishments and aw-shucks appeal.
Phelps already had won the AP award in 2008 after his eight gold medals in Beijing, which broke Mark Spitz's record. He got it again with a performance that didn't quite match up to the Great Haul of China but was amazing in its own right.

Entertainer Nick Cannon will be spending Christmas in hospital after seeking treatment for lupus.
The star shared an Instagram photo of himself hooked up to medical devices in a bed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Thursday (22Dec16) and revealed he hasn't been feeling his best.
"For all who have been trying to contact me the last few days this is where I've been," he wrote in the post. "And I will be in the Hospital through Christmas. All good though, Doctors say I will be back to normal before the New Year. #LupusSucks #ncredible #warrior."
The 36-year-old was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in 2012 after suffering kidney failure and life-threatening blood clots. He has often been open about the toll the illness has taken on his health, which landed him in hospital in July, 2015, when the America's Got Talent host posted a similar image online.
"Sometimes I can be a little too bull headed and stubborn," he wrote beside that picture. "I gotta stop running my body to the ground."
Cannon's unfortunate news comes just days after his ex-wife Mariah Carey shared photos of her lavish holiday hideaway in Aspen, Colorado.
On Tuesday (20Dec16), the singer took to Instagram to show off the luxury home she's staying in with twins Monroe and Moroccan, her children with Cannon.
"Getting into the Christmas spirit with this exquisite tree in a beautiful home for our family!," Mariah captioned a photo of herself, wearing a sexy bra and plaid shirt combination with furry black boots, as she posed beside a towering Christmas tree decorated with white and gold ornaments.
She then revealed her five bedroom mansion, which also boasts a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar, gym and sauna, was courtesy of bosses at home rental website AirBnB.

Kristofer Sherwood | Elisha Nziengui Boussengui | Anna McDonald
| Sharon Brown Kunin| Khamp Southisombath
|Kristofer Sherwood, MD, Global Health Fellow 2012-2013
J. Kristofer Sherwood, MD was the first global health fellow in the 2012-2013 academic year. He received his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Washington in the Roosevelt/Northgate track.
Dr. Sherwood first became involved in the field of global health in the summer of 2006 between his first and second year of medical school. He traveled with his friend Deogratias "Deo" Niyzonkiza and others to the nation of Burundi in east Africa to continue preparations for a medical center in the village of Kigutu, Burundi. Dr. Sherwood spent the trip traveling with Deo and others to lay the groundwork for the medical center, including meeting with community leaders, government officials, construction contractors, and health officials.
Shortly after this trip, Deo founded the organization Village Health Works (www.villagehealthworks.org) to support the construction and operation of a health center in Kigutu. During the subsequent years, Dr. Sherwood continued to work to raise funds, find resources, and raise awareness for Village Health Works in the USA. Village Health Works started seeing patients in December 2006 and have since seen well over 50,000 patients. They continue to offer a comprehensive community health program that includes inpatient and outpatient care in addition to economic, agriculture, and education programs to help relieve the extreme poverty that affects the region.
In August of 2011, Dr. Sherwood returned to Kigutu during a residency elective to work as a volunteer clinician for Village Health Works. He helped the Burundian medical staff provide medical care for Village Health Works' patients and assisted in training activities for the medical staff. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the visit for Dr. Sherwood was the opportunity to work so closely with the Burundian medical staff and exchange knowledge for the betterment of patient care.
After completion of the fellowship, Dr. Sherwood hopes to secure a career in which he can continue to provide excellent patient care to immigrants, refugees, and travelers in the USA, including by serving as a resource and teacher in his community. He also hopes to continue to work closely with Village Health Works to expand and improve their clinical programs as able through work at home and abroad.
|Elisha Nziengui Boussengui, MD, Global Health Fellow 2013-2014
Dr. Elisha Nziengui Boussengui straddles the worlds between Montana, Seattle, and Gabon, Africa. Originally from Montana, she served in the Peace Corps in Gabon. It is there that she acquired her lifelong commitment to international medical service. She attended medical school at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and completed her residency with the University of Washington Family Medicine residency. The missions of family medicine and international medicine – that of viewing patient health and disease in the context of the patient, the patient's family, and culture – mirrors her own approach to life, where each life event is seen by how it fits into the "bigger picture." She intends to create a future medical practice that incorporates her passions for full spectrum family medicine, teaching, Montana, and Gabon. Outside of medicine, she enjoys the outdoors, the performing arts, and, chiefly, spending time with her family, including her young children.
|Anna McDonald, MD, MPH, Global Health Fellow 2014-2015
Having spent the majority of my life rooted in the southern culture of North Carolina, I moved to Seattle to see what life would be like on the "best coast". I completed my undergrad at Duke University, then spent the next year living and working in various public health and clinical settings in Guatemala, Peru, and Tanzania – an experience that confirmed my desire to spend my life working towards providing basic healthcare services to the world's most vulnerable populations. To that end, I began my medical education at the University of North Carolina, taking an extra year to complete my MPH at Harvard University, with a concentration in Global Health. When it came time to choose a residency program, I was drawn to the Swedish Family Medicine program and the Downtown Family Medicine Clinic because of the ubiquitous commitment to working with underserved populations, the wealth of international experience, and the passion and commitment to leading political and social change I found in the faculty and my co-residents there. Completing residency in a health department-based training system allowed me to learn from and care for some of Seattle's most vulnerable populations, and furthered my commitment to this type of work. I became involved with Seattle's Ethiopian community and helped to lead a series of health education sessions at the monthly community meetings, and eventually got to spend a month in Gondar, Ethiopia, working towards the development of a new Family Medicine curriculum there. I am excited to continue to pursue my wide array of interests within family medicine – global health policy, maternal and child health, and advocating for social justice/eliminating health disparities – during my fellowship year at UW.
|Sharon Brown Kunin, DO, MS, Global Health Fellow 2015-2016
Growing up in Oakland, CA, I developed a desire to work with underserved communities from an early age. My passion for global health ignited at the Harvard School of Public Health. My studies in Maternal & Child Health, Health Policy, and International Health, set a strong foundation for my life's work. As an Albert Schweitzer fellow, I met a group of like-minded health professionals all working with the common goal of helping underserved communities. Then a trip to Bangladesh shaped my dream to combine global health and medicine. This experience inspired me to go to medical school so that I could make a significant impact on the world's most vulnerable populations. My travels to rural Ghana, working with one of my medical school classmates to build medical clinics in remote areas of Africa, was both inspiring and life-changing. By visiting and living in countries around the world, including Israel, Africa, and South America, I learned to communicate effectively with children and families across language and cultural barriers. I have worked on multidisciplinary medical and research teams at Stanford and UCSF all with a common goal of patient health and wellness. Beyond medicine, what gives me joy and inspiration is spending time with my 3 children, running, and traveling. In the future, I aspire to deliver effective interventions to patients who need them the most and to be a part of a movement that helps bridge the gap of knowledge and practice in global health around the world.
|Khamp Southisombath, MD, Global Health Fellow 2016-2017
My family came from Laos to the United States as refugees when I was five years old. I grew up in a very diverse and low-socioeconomic area in Fresno, California and subsequently was exposed to the many health disparities faced by my community. This prompted my decision to become a doctor. My love of teaching and the belief that one's health is dependent on so many different social, economic, and cultural factors was why I specialized in the field of Family Medicine. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and completed my Family Medicine Residency at White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
During my medical training, I've had opportunities to participate in international programs such as the Himalayan Health Exchange and Health Leadership International in India and Laos respectively. Through these experiences, I witnessed the obstacles facing medical education at a global level, the detrimental effects it had on health care delivery, and most importantly how I can make a difference. Because of this, health care sustainability and improvement through medical education is a strong interest of mine and the reason for my pursuing a career in global health.
Lastly, I'm very excited to join the UW family as a Global Health Fellow. I've spent the majority of my life in "sunny" California and am looking forward to see what all the fuss is about in "rainy" Seattle!

This used to be part of a sprawling metropolis, or maybe it was a whole city of its own, but something happened. Maybe an earthquake buried it, or maybe they just decided to build new city on top of it and in time forgot the old one.
This isn't just any underground area; the Under City used to be above the earth before being buried by whatever occurrence. Could be a whole Ghost City, or a part of an Absurdly Spacious Sewer. If it remains inhabited, it will likely end up as an Underground City.
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- In the first anime of Fullmetal Alchemist, there is a hidden city under Central that has been destroyed in order to create a Philosopher's Stone.
- Berserk has a massive prison tower built on the ruins of an older city.
Comic Books
- Underground Duckburg in Don Rosa's version of the Disney Ducks Comic Universe. The Beagle Boys in particular like to use it as a hide-out.
- When the old Spider-Man villain, Venom, had his own comic released, he spent the first storyarc in a section of San Francisco that was buried and contained 1800s-era architecture (the city had simply built over it for some reason). Sadly, this was all mostly forgotten by the next miniseries.
- New York has become this in Judge Dredd. Mega City One is built on top of it and several others. It's a very nasty place that no sane person would want to venture into, being filled with mutant tribes, monsters (including werewolves), and even Xenomorphs.
- The Undertown in The Dresden Files is located under Chicago, consisting of old buildings that sank into the ground under their own weight. It is populated by various supernatural nasties.
- Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere has a London Below which consists largely of places buried and forgotten by London Above.
- Ankh-Morpork in Discworld novels: Because the city is built on soft loam, near an extremely turgid river, the ground levels of its buildings find themselves buried every generation or so. The standard remedy is to just build another level on top, so now the city descends through the earth to an unknown depth. This has caused friction between the dwarfs, who traditionally view anything underground as theirs, and the city's government, who think of those areas as sub-sub-basements and would rather not have unknown factors tunneling through them.
- Also from Discworld, the mine-city of the Low King of the Dwarfs is built mostly under the surface town of Bonk.
- Inverted in C. S. Lewis's The Silver Chair. The thriving kingdom of the Lady of the Green Kirtle is underneath the ruined city of the giants. And there's an even deeper land beneath her kingdom, which is abandoned but not for long.
- In A Darkness at Sethanon, the titular Sethanon was built right on top of an ancient Valheru city.
- In Isaac Asimov's short story "Nightfall," archaeologists discover that a hill near their city is actually the ruins of several older cities, piled on top of each other. They all burned down at suspiciously regular intervals. It coincides with nightfall on a planet of (near-total) daytime. People panic and start burning things to bring back the light and wind up destroying everything. Over and over and over..
- In the Doctor Who New Adventures, there's the Undercity of Spaceport Overcity Five — or, as we would say, London. In this case, London wasn't buried: the entire Overcity floats above it on Anti Gravity engines.
- In Tunnels, the Colony is located in a gigantic series of caverns beneath London, while the abandoned Eternal City is between them. Beneath the Colony lies the Deeps, and beneath that is the Pore and the other Pits, and beneath those lies the Garden Of The Second Sun.
Live-Action TV
- Cities of the Underworld is a documentary series that aired on the History Channel and explored subterranean structures under various cities and historic sites around the world. See the Real Life section below.
- Former St. Louis in Defiance which was largely buried when alien terraforming machines went wild. Bits of it, including the famous Arch, remain on the surface.
- Modern day Granville in Ghost Whisperer is built on top of Old Granville...with good reason.
Tabletop Games
- Dungeons & Dragons: In the backstory of the Judges' Guild module Dark Tower, a small village grew up around the White Tower of Mitra. When the Black Tower of Set appeared nearby, the village was buried by the landslides caused by the battle between the two towers. Within a decade a new village of treasure seekers called Mitras's Fist was established on the ground where the old village had stood. When the new villagers began digging down to find the old village, imagine their surprise when they found someone digging up to meet them...
- Warhammer 40,000: Imperial Hive Cities, each of which is usually a megalopolis and sometimes an arcology, will almost invariably have such an "underhive" as the hive is continuously built upwards and older buildings and streets are built upon and buried. The formation of an underhive is considered the natural consequence of the history of most established cities in the Imperium of Man. As civilization stays as close to the top as it can manage, the underhive has a population density so thin that it can be considered derelict, except for the mutants, gangs, cults, fugitive psykers, and any other criminal element that seeks to stay away from prying eyes. Also notable is that the areas underneath range from claustrophobic maintenance tunnels to deserted city districts to enormous, abandoned underground industrial sites.
- Forgotten Realms has cities built this way, particularly big and old ones like Westgate. In another way, Waterdeep stands on the still active Undermountain complex and Skullport city and Ravens Bluff stands above an abandoned dwarven city under which there's in turn an abandoned drow city.
- The Dark Dungeon RPG supplement Samaris, Island of Adventure. At one time the entire island of Samaris was covered by a giant city, which was also called Samaris. The city was destroyed in a war between the North (led by the demonic wizard king Acecerax) and the South (led by the demon witch empress Vekna) two hundred years ago. Southport (the largest city on the island), Northport, Eastport, Westport and Zentrumstadt are smaller cities built upon its ruins.
- Rocket Age's Martian cities have extensive networks of service tunnels and sewers underneath the streets, often linking the entire city together.
- Metru Nui under the island of Mata Nui.
- Except only one of them is a city, and it's more like Mata Nui is on top of Metru Nui and the rest of the Matoran Universe.
Video Games
- The Elder Scrolls
- Morrowind: Mournhold in the Tribunal expansion was built over the ruins of Old Mournhold which was destroyed by Mehrunes Dagon thousands of years prior. Naturally, you'll be spending quite a bit of time there. And that's not the only city Mournhold was built over, though the Dwemer city of Bamz-Amschend was intentionally built underground in the first place.
- In Oblivion, Part of the Imperial City's Absurdly Spacious Sewers are old Ayleid constructs whose purpose have been lost over the millennia. Whether they ever actually were above-ground is left ambigious, however.
- Saints Row 2 has Old Stilwater, an earthquake-ruined underground district from approximately 1940-1965, inhabited by hobos, accessed by entering the old mission house.
- The Undercity in Baldur's Gate is an ancient settlement located in a cave underneath the eponymous city. It is apparently big enough to house an enormous temple of Bhaal and many supporting structures.
- And of course the Underdark in the sequel houses 3 large dwellings, one of Mind Flayers, one of Beholders, and a gigantic city of Drow.
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has the ancient city buried under Rogueport.
- The Lost City (Karath Din) in the Thief game series.
- Wonder City in Batman: Arkham City.
- Vagrant Story has an Undercity area, notable for its high density population of undead.
- Old Ironforge, located under the dwarven capital Ironforge in World of Warcraft.
- Also in World of Warcraft, a literal inversion: the Undercity is the capital of the undead race the Forsaken, while the old city of Lorderon above it is the mostly-abandoned ruins.
- in Torchlight, you explore a stack of these, many layers deep.
- in Fallen London, bats stole Victorian London, the game's setting, from the surface and brought it underground. And it's far from the first city to have suffered this fate.
- Knights of the Old Republic: Taris has four levels - the decaying (but still pretty decent) Upper City where the wealthy live, the Middle City (where the working and middle class live), the Lower City (a slum controlled by gangs and the local crime boss), and the Undercity - a wasteland crawling with rakghouls and a small settlement comprised of exiled criminals, political prisoners, and their descendants. While there is a Hope Spot brought about if the player completes a quest with the light-sided option, the sequel reveals that those who survived the initial bombardment survived a couple generations before succumbing to disease, toxic waste, and rakghoul attacks.
- Tokyo in Shin Megami Tensei IV was sealed underneath a gigantic rock ceiling before the start of the game—how long depends on which side of the ceiling you're on: 25 years on the inside, and around 1500 on the outside.
Western Animation
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) has a lost alien city below New York, as well as a rotting system of abandoned mining tunnels where some of The Shredder's mutates lived.
- In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Old Ba Sing Se is buried under Ba Sing Se.
- Old New York in Futurama is the original New York City that was leveled by an alien invasion actually the Swedish Air Force battling Bender and his fleet of spaceships after he stole the Nobel Peace Prize. Eventually, the city of New New York was simply built on top of the ruins, which had the sewers rerouted through them. In the 31st Century, the remnants of Old New York are still standing, derelict, beneath New New York, home only to the sewer mutants.
Real Life
- Moscow has a lot of Soviet-era underground works, partly civilian (Metro) but mostly of Cold War era Soviet military origin. Urban legends tell about a whole system of special Metro for the government and underground vault-cities in case of a nuclear war, for generals and officers.note Also included are older Tsarist era ruins and basements.
- Underground Seattle. This was a part of the late 19th century Seattle business district that was buried when the streets were regraded to between 12ft and 30 ft (3.6m to 9.1m) above their former height after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. The areas formerly constituting sidewalks and alleys were left unfilled or were later excavated, and connecting tunnels were created under the roads- some intentionally to create maintenance tunnels and pedestrian bypasses for busy streets, and others during the The Edwardian Era and The Roaring '20s to ease the transport of contraband and allow the former street level to serve as a literally underground combination Red Light District and City Narrows. This created an eerie network of tunnels lined by 19th century storefronts, many now serving as basements to the buildings above, though a few remain in use as bars or other establishments seeking to play off of the history.
- Mexico City is built on top of the ancient Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.
- Likewise, western Guatemala City is built on top of the old Mayan city of Kaminaljuyú.
- Many old European cities like Rome or Paris have catacombs beneath them.
- Rome is a city of four million people, but only has two subway lines. This is because it's impossible to dig anywhere in Rome without hitting some set of ruins.
- Ancient Rome often used a practice of burying larger buildings and building on top of them rather than demolishing them. The Palatine hill is covered with ruin on top of ruin and has an impressive network of caves and tunnels under all of it.

The typical second hand mesothelioma victim never worked at a shipyard, oil refinery, chemical plant, manufacturing facility, as an auto repair specialist, or in the construction industry—a loved one did
(PRWEB) May 28, 2014
This week the Mesothelioma Compensation Center is sharing an American Cancer Society study that provides evidence for second hand exposure to asbestos. "Family members of people exposed to asbestos at work can also have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma because the workers can carry home asbestos fibers on their clothes." For attribution purposes please refer to the American Cancer Society's web site called: What are the risk factors for malignant mesothelioma From December 2013: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/malignantmesothelioma/detailedguide/malignant-mesothelioma-risk-factors
So why is second hand exposure to asbestos such a vital current issue for some victims of mesothelioma?
The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "Because the diagnosed victim of mesothelioma was not exposed to asbestos at work, they don't think they will ever be compensated. What they do not realize is one of these compensation claims can be just as valuable as a compensation claim that resulted from a worker being directly exposed to asbestos at a workplace." http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com
The Center explains that, "We want individuals exposed to second hand asbestos to know that compensation for this type of mesothelioma ranks in the highest bracket. The typical second hand mesothelioma victim never worked at a shipyard, oil refinery, chemical plant, manufacturing facility, as an auto repair specialist, or in the construction industry—a loved one did. We are honored to help a diagnosed victims of mesothelioma who had second hand exposure on a monthly basis. Usually the conversation starts with the adult son or daughter of the diagnosed victim asking how their mother could have mesothelioma? We instantly ask where their father/significant other worked and more time than not they worked in an industry known to use asbestos.
"We strongly encourage diagnosed victims of second hand exposure mesothelioma, or their family members, to call us anytime at 866-714-6466 so we can make certain the victim, or their family members get instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys." http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com
Information About Mesothelioma From The Mesothelioma Compensation Center For Diagnosed Victims And Their Families:
According to the US Centers for Disease Control the average age for a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma is 72 years old. Each year between 2,500 and 3,000 US citizens will be diagnosed with mesothelioma. The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "Based on our experience frequently mesothelioma is initially misdiagnosed as pneumonia."
High-risk groups for exposure to asbestos include: US Navy Veterans, shipyard workers, oil refinery workers, manufacturing workers, power plant workers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, machinists, or construction workers. Typically the exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com
The states with the highest incidence of mesothelioma include: Pennsylvania, Maine, New Jersey, West Virginia, Florida, Wyoming, and Washington. However, based on the calls the Mesothelioma Victims Center receives diagnosed victims could be in any state including California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Hawaii, or Alaska.
The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "If you call us at 866-714-6466, we will see to it that you have instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma attorneys, because we really do want to make certain you, or your families receive the best possible mesothelioma compensation settlement for this rare form of cancer. No other group in the US offers this service." http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com

It was highlighted in our Adjudication Report last year that Newtownforbes needs to improve in our Wildlife Category. With this in mind you will have noticed all the nesting boxes that we have placed in trees around the village. In order to attract birds to their new habitats we encourage people to consider planting berry bearing shrubs and trees in their gardens to encourage birds and create a natural food chain. A small amount done by several people would have a huge impact in attracting wildlife. Again can we appeal to dog owners who allow their pets to foul the footpaths to please clean up after them. This is the single biggest litter problem we have in Newtownforbes. Plans for the Gathering Event are continuing and we would remind you to "Save the Date - 2nd June" for the Failte Awaile Barbeque and encourage those away to come to Newtownforbes for the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Chrysler Group LLC Providing Duke Energy in Charlotte With Test Fleet of PHEV Ram 1500 Pickup Trucks
Sep 22, 2011, 10:00 ET
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ten plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) will be supplied to Duke Energy in Charlotte, N.C. as part of a demonstration project by Chrysler Group LLC
- Real world city miles to be accumulated on demonstration vehicles over the next three years
- Fleet of vehicles developed in partnership with U.S. Department of Energy
- Ram 1500 plug-in electric hybrid test trucks will be used to evaluate city drive cycles, charging performance, fuel economy and real-world performance
Chrysler Group LLC, working in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will deliver 10 demonstration fleet Ram 1500 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) pickup trucks to Duke Energy of Charlotte, N.C. this week.
The PHEV Ram 1500 pickups, delivered by Abdullah Bazzi, senior manager of the Chrysler Group's advanced hybrid vehicle project, are part of a national demonstration fleet of 140 vehicles that will be used during the next three years to evaluate customer usage, drive cycles, charging, thermal management, fuel economy, emissions and impact on the region's electric grid. In addition to Duke Energy, nine other partners across the United States are slated to receive vehicles for demonstration and testing purposes.
"Cities have been carefully selected to help the Chrysler Group LLC collect a wide range of data," explained Abdullah Bazzi, senior manager of Chrysler's advanced hybrid vehicle project. "Charlotte offers heavy traffic and urban driving that are ideal city test cycles along and rural areas that include inclines on mountain grades. The constant charging will allow us to measure the impact on battery life and charging efficiency."
Earlier this year, Chrysler Group LLC delivered 10 Ram 1500 PHEV trucks to the city of Yuma, Ariz., to take full advantage of hot weather and conduct thermal testing in the desert southwest. Other cities that have received the demonstration Ram 1500 pickups include San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif.
"Duke Energy is pleased to have the opportunity to take part in this demonstration program with Chrysler LLC and the U.S. Department of Energy," said Jim Stanley, Duke Energy's senior vice president of power delivery. "The information from Duke Energy provided to both Chrysler and the Department of Energy will help shape product development within the automotive industry and electric utility programs and infrastructure that could lead to more of these vehicles in the future."
Strictly a demonstration program, there are no plans for a production version of the PHEV Ram 1500 truck at this time.
Cities and states were selected to evaluate temperature extremes, urban traffic cycles and diverse climates and geographies.
The Ram 1500 PHEV includes a liquid-cooled 12.9kWhr lithium ion battery pack and a 6.6 kilowatt (kW) on-board charger. Additional features include AC power generation of up to 6.6kW; directional charging; reverse power flow and full regenerative braking used to capture more energy. For fuel economy improvements, the front axle of the four-wheel-drive automatic transmission can be disconnected when not needed. The powertrain also includes a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine and a two-mode hybrid transmission. The 5.7-liter Hemi is equipped with a Fuel Saver technology that improves fuel efficiency at highway speeds by shutting down fuel delivery to up to four cylinders.
The battery pack is located under the second-row seat of the pickup and is liquid cooled to help maintain a consistent battery temperature. For on-the-job electrical power tools, a 240 volt/30 amp four-prong outlet and 120volt/20amp duplex outlet power strip is located in the rear box.
Urban use will be tracked to measure battery performance and overall hybrid efficiency with the demonstration fleet of pickups. Other uses include military bases where vehicles will be able to provide power back to the electric grid in what is termed "reverse power flow" of up to 6.6kW.
Funding for the program in part is provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 through the Transportation Electrification Initiative sponsored by the DOE. The grant, totaling $48 million from DOE and $49.4 million from Chrysler Group LLC, was designed to develop vehicles that will be cost efficient for consumers, satisfy safety concerns of daily travel without recharging and help reduce dependence on foreign oil.
The Chrysler Group LLC also is developing a similar fleet of 25 Town & Country minivans with plug-in hybrid technology for demonstration and evaluation that will be allocated to select cities later this year.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Renee's Bar & Cafe Restaurant Review: This little corner of the world has neither wine bars nor vegetarian restaurants in abundance, and Renee's, which combines both, is an anomaly. Opting for smooth sophistication over hippie charm and specialty martinis instead of fruit shakes, this restaurant is the kind of restaurant that appeals to the post-college set. We recommend the artisan cheese platter, grilled portobello sandwich, and the tomato and mozzarella salad made with two varieties of vine-ripened tomato.

For the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Trim excess fat and sliverskin from the short ribs and then slice between the bones. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet and sear the short ribs, working in batches.
Transfer the ribs to a hotel pan or roasting pan. Add the cola, soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, green onions, ginger and 2 cups water. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Braise for 4 hours, until tender. Shred the short ribs.
For the onion jam: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the red onions and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and honey, and deglaze with the red wine. Stir in the salt, pepper and balsamic. Cook until reduced to a jam consistency. Chop in a food processor.
For the grilled cheese: Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Toast the sourdough slices and then spread them with the butter. Place five of the buttered slices on the griddle; divide the American, cheddar and Swiss cheeses evenly among them. Top each with 5 heaping tablespoons of the shredded short ribs and 1 tablespoon of the onion jam. Cover with a second slice of the toasted bread and cook until the cheeses have melted. Slice in half and serve with marinara sauce, for dipping.

Refrigerators typically make some sound while operating. Determining where the sound is coming from is the first step to understanding what the sound is and whether it is unusual. If your refrigerator has an inbuilt frost free mechanism it might make cracking noises during start up and defrost periods. Each Beko fridge comes with operating noise level information to provide an insight into which fridge is best for your home, open plan kitchens and quiet environments. This 445 litre fridge operates at a level of 39dB so would be a welcome addition to your kitchen without contributing much noise. If it is minimal running noise – it is completely normal and is an indication that the air circulation is balanced and your fridge is functioning properly. If your fridge is making a disturbing amount of noise and you think it may have a technical malfunction, download your manual here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – MEDIA ALERT / April 28, 2014 ~ Las Vegas
Seth Grabel is a Vegas-based performer whose achievement as a celebrated magician and illusionist is the quintessential American success story—from his childhood passion for mystery and illusion, to his discovery by Las Vegas' Amazing Johnathan and performing three years by his side, to his spectacular performances on hit NBC TV show "America's Got Talent."
Mesmerizing Magic, Mysterious Illusions, Unbelievable AcroMagic, Character Impressions and Comedy – all combine to define Grabel's diverse yet signature approach to showmanship. "I love what I do and do what I love!" says Seth. "It's important to always try to be the best and never give up. My bulldog persistence is paying off. I am going to change the way people view magic!"
Grabel is known best for his trademark "Acromagic," in which he combines magic and acrobatics. Despite his success, he steadfastly embraces his life-long passion for helping those less fortunate, collaborating with major charities like Best Buddies and St. Rose Hospital.
Constantly in demand, Seth Grabel has signed to management with Vegas-based management and multi-media firm Eggman Global Artists. "Seth is the complete package," says Eggleston. "He's a consummate performer, he's loves and interacts with his fans, and he's an excellent businessman. The sky is the limit for him, and we are very happy to be on board to help him take everything to the next level."
SETH GRABEL'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://SethGrabel.com
Seth Grabel was born and raised in Los Angeles, with immediate ties to the entertainment industry. Combining the marketing/branding skills he learned from his father, and his top-notch entertainment education at UNLV, Grabel exploded onto the world scene by combining magic with acrobatics in what he called "acromagic." In 2006, Grabel was discovered by Vegas' Amazing Johnathan, and was asked to perform alongside him for the next three years.
"Acromagic" became Seth's calling card. His revolutionary concept fostered a genuine sense of creativity and originality, enabling him to perform for countless celebrities and dignitaries. He was also invited to appear on national media like EXTRA, Playboy TV, Univision, and CBS, among others, where he took every trick to the limit, leaving his viewers astonished by completely blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
With an impressive body of work in his repertoire, 2011 marked the year for an official introduction on the national spotlight. As a highlight performer on NBC's hit TV show "America's Got Talent", Seth rattled the cage of the entertainment industry, executing diverse forms of magic — black, illusionary, and of course acromagic. He was an overwhelming fan favorite, and brought high praise from all the judges, especially Howie Mandel.
Since becoming an AGT finalist, Seth has worked tirelessly at perfecting his skills as a magician, acrobat, and comedian, blending Creative Magic and Mind-Boggling Stunts, while touring and selling out major venues across the country

Reportedly, Aamir & Shah Rukh both had said that they wouldn't need an invite for Salman's sister Arpita's wedding and they would definitely attend it. In fact, Shah Rukh has already attended the sangeet function yesterday and posed along with foe-turned-friend Salman for the shutterbugs.
So if the trio attends the wedding at Hyderabad today, it will be exceptional and delight for all the crazy fans to see the superstar Khans together.
Let's wait, watch and hope for SRK, Aamir & Salman to be seen captured together!

October 16, 1984
Please be advised of several additional division requirements for bond approval of water districts.
In many situations, the property to be included in the district, whether during creation or at a later annexation, is the subject of one or more liens. This office will require that the creation petition and any annexation petition must also be signed by all lienholders. A further requirement will be district certification that all signing lienholders are in fact the only persons holding liens on the described property.
Many times land to be included in the district is also held in trust. This office will require evidence of the trust, either a written trust or certification in the general certificate that there is no written trust and therefore the Texas Trust Act applies. Evidence of the trustee appointment must also be shown.
It has been our office policy in regard to a creation or annexation for tax ownership documentation to be provided evidencing a majority in value of the owners of the defined area. In the future, whether an annexation is by a fee simple owner or by a majority in value, it will be necessary to show, via tax ownership certificates, title in those petitioning the district.
The district's assessed valuation certificate must be a finally approved
value assessment within the district. This office will not accept an estimated valuation. If the district is able to provide certification from the Chief Appraiser as to the value as shown by the official appraisal records and there has been no protest by any owner of the taxable property nor any challenge by the district or any other taxing unit, the values may be considered to enable the district to issue bonds.
Please circulate this letter to all or your attorneys involved in the issuance of water district bonds.
Thank you for your cooperation.
With best wishes, I am
Very truly yours,
Susan Lee Voss
Assistant Attorney General

ESF Celebrates December Convocation
Two alumni to be honored during ceremony
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will award 157 degrees, including 47 master's degrees and 15 Doctors of Philosophy, during the 2011 December Convocation1 p.m. Dec. 9 at Hendricks Chapel.
Two alumni will be honored during convocation.
Dr. Donald E. Moore III '76 will receive the Graduate of Distinction award. Dr. Ellis B. Cowling '54 will receive the Lifetime Achievement award.
As a zoo-based wildlife biologist, animal behaviorist, and educator, Moore has dedicated his professional life to improving the care and management of animals in both captivity and the wild. He has helped renovate and manage several zoos across the United States and created conservation management plans for wild animals in nature for more than 30 years.
Moore is currently the associate director for animal care at the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. He has worked for the Wildlife Conservation Society as a curator, zoo director and co-chair of their Animal Enrichment Program and was a curator at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park.
A volunteer for the American Zoo Association, he served as an accreditation commissioner, vice chair of the animal welfare committee, and chair of the animal care manuals working group.
Cowling is a professor and respected researcher in biological, environmental, and natural resource sciences. A 1954 graduate of ESF, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in wood technology and earned a Master of Science degree in forest pathology in 1956.
An expert in the field of acid rain, he was a leader in the development of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). This program provides reliable continental scale maps of precipitation chemistry in the United States. Cowling helped develop the original draft plan for NAPAP which provided the scientific foundation for the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
He worked with the U. S. Public Health Service in Sweden and served as an associate professor at Yale University. He also worked as a professor/researcher in the fields of plant pathology and forestry at North Carolina State University.
Cowling was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1973 and served on its Council from 1994 to 1997. He received numerous international awards and was elected a Fellow in the International Academy of Wood Science in Vienna, Austria. In 1981, the University of North Carolina presented him an award for "contributions to the welfare of the human race."

How do I connect?
Getting connected in a large parish can be a challenge at first. At St. Stephen's Church, there are numerous ways to plug in, from small groups to volunteer or outreach opportunities to choirs to classes. You are welcome to take part in just about anything this community offers. Here are some suggestions:
- come to one of our informal suppers (Wednesdays, 5:45-6:30 p.m., Sundays at 6:30 p.m. between the Celtic and Compline services)
- come to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning
- sign up for an Inquirers Class
- subscribe to St. Stephen's weekly email, the eSpirit; there is no cost, no obligation, and we will not share your email address with any outside group
- ask for help in finding an Emmaus Group
- join a "guild"--the altar guild, flower guild, the needlepoint guild, the prayer shawl knitters, the icon guild (all guilds are open to both men and women)
- join a choir (some require auditions, others do not)
- volunteer at the Farmers Market, in the kitchen preparing our Sunday Community Supper, or in our food pantry ministry for those in need
- contact a member of the clergy about the possibility of serving as a reader or chalice bearer, a healing prayer minister, or a lay visitor to the Richmond City Jail
- attend a retreat or workshop, or take part in any of the other offerings you'll see on these pages.
Do as much or as little as you like. There are no "requirements" for being a part of this community of faith. If you wish to be baptized or confirmed, or to transfer your membership from another Episcopal parish, we'd love for you to do so. But it's not required. Everything we do, everything we offer, is open to all, regardless of whether you are a "member" of this church. If you're here, you belong.

Wellplast® V3 the trademark for a corrugated packaging material. Built up in a framework design it gives maximum strength with minimum material consumption. The design consists of three layers of the same kind where the middle layer (fluting) is corrugated and joint together with the two flat outer layers (liner). The layers are not glued but welded together by directed heat. The unique construction and production method are patented.
Raw material
Also the mix of raw material is unique. It does not contain paper but consists to the major part of chalk (calcium carbonate, CaCO3). Polypropylene plastic is used to bind the chalk.
Why mix chalk and plastic?
– The chalk reinforces the polypropylene plastic and makes it even stiffer. – The chalk improves so-called "dead fold", which makes it easier to convert boards to packages. – The chalk reduces the consumption of plastic which means that the environmental effects are minimized. – The chalk reduces total raw material cost. – The chalk gives an improved migration barrier. – The mix of materials gives qualities such as cleanliness and fluid and chemical resistance
Areas of use
Wellplast® has been developed in order to create packages for humid environments or where the demands on cleanliness are high. At the same time the material is adjusted to be converted to packages in machines traditionally used for converting carton and corrugated cardboard.
Environmental influence
The environmental influence of Wellplast® is very low because of minimal material consumption and good recycling possibilities.

Might want to try: "When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the grave..." or "When this card is destroyed, you can special summon 1 Tuner monster OR 1 "Red Dragon Archfiend" from your graveyard." or at least add "Any Monster(s) special summoned by this card's effect cannot be used as XYZ materials"
I also highly recommend adding an "this card cannot be special summoned except by..." type effect. Imagine Dark World Decks being able to monster reborn a 4000 beater...ouch.
Any of these changes might help balance the card out a bit.

It's a little too...... Uh......... Powerful. Yeah that's the word. I agree entirely with fireemblemfan01.

I agree with the other limitations although the above would be hard to keep within the bounds of the current earth bound immortals as they are normal summon monsters, you could add the if destroyed other than his own effect so people wouldn't replace the field card so he destroys himself
The only saving grace about this card is its lost the 'cannot be selected as an attack target' effect meaning you just attack and shrink it active summon limitation or d.d crow one of the targets in response to its effect so it can not fulfill its conditions and resolves without effect

Subject: What makes this overpowered? Posted: January 18, 2012 01:34 pm
All it does is summon 2 Tuners and Red Daemon's Dragon...
Do you guys play even play the real game in any regular or serious way?
A: Just by the effect alone, you'd have to summon ALL 3 of them or nothing at all, that alone makes it impractical and hard to activate. It's not an optional or "choose what you want to summon" sort of effect.
B: Compared to other EBG's, it's actually extremely underpowered. Besides the same effect they all have, it pales compared to Aslla Piscu or Ccapac Apu (the two best EBG's).
C: The card implies you need to have a dead RDD and it DOES NOT ignore Summoning Conditions, which means you have to have legally summoned a RDD before this card can do anything or it does nothing. Combined with the fact that you have to summon all 3 monsters at once (mandatory), you would need to have legally summoned an RDD and had it die AND have two tuners in the Graveyard ALL have a Field Magic for this card and then KILL it.
So... realistically, think about something before you call it overpowered just because a few words scare you. This card isn't even remotely powerful at all. It doesn't need any negative changes.

Subject: nice one kid Posted: February 22, 2012 11:54 am
i've always wandered what kind of effect red nova would have, also, its effect is rather fitting considering it is supposed to be the most powerful of the earthbound immortals, only one issue of course, that specifically stating red dragon archfiend is possibly a misinterpretation of the fact that jack also has the burning soul thingwhodoody, so generalizing less, would suggest making it one LV7 or higher Dragon Type Synchro Monster, to type cast it as "using" one of the signer dragons, the second part about summoning two tuners is a good idea though, that should definitely stay.
Or, if you want to go by how the anime poses it, you could give it an effect that removes it from play while in the graveyard to allow you to tribute red dragon archfiend to summon red nova dragon, as although jack doesnt actually get the earthbound immortal red nova card, it allows his red dragon archfiend to "evolve" into red nova dragon...
or i could be talking a load of nonsense
