General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroen, daunted by likely political roadblocks, scrapped plans for a joint mid-size car programme within their nascent alliance while adding engine cooperation.
The automakers said on Thursday they had signed firm agreements on three out of four previously announced vehicle projects to combine their future small car programmes as well as two sizes of roomier minivans and crossovers.
Continue Reading Below
Plans to pool replacements for larger models such as the Citroen C5 and GM's Opel Insignia were dropped after the companies failed to reach a "convincing business case", a Peugeot spokesman said.
But with binding agreements on three other vehicle programs and new plans to share a future generation of small gasoline engines, "the alliance is taking form and moving up a gear," he added.
Since its announcement in February, the planned alliance has drawn investor scepticism as the French automaker's finances worsen, prompting thousands of domestic job cuts under close supervision by Socialist President Francois Hollande's government.
Sharing larger car production would also have raised politically fraught questions about whether to scrap assembly of the C5 in Rennes, western France, or the Opel flagship model in Ruesselsheim, Germany.
"The subject was clearly too conflictual between France and Germany," Societe Generale analyst Philippe Barrier said.
"The projects announced today are a long way from the mega-global alliance they were aiming for originally," he said. "But there's progress - and the addition of engines shows that Peugeot can be useful to GM."
The three-cylinder engines, designed to comply with Euro VII emissions standards coming into force around 2019, will bring big savings for both partners, Peugeot said without elaborating.
Detroit-based GM took a 7 percent Peugeot stake in a capital increase earlier this year as Europe's second-biggest automaker burned through about 200 million euros ($265 million) a month. GM is also struggling to stem losses in the depressed and highly competitive European market.
Peugeot, which is closing a plant near Paris and shedding more than 10,000 domestic jobs, will next year reduce monthly cash consumption by 100 million euros excluding restructuring costs, Chief Executive Philippe Varin pledged in an interview with Le Monde on Thursday.
Talks on a deeper tie-up with GM were halted last month as Peugeot's situation deteriorated, sources with knowledge of the matter have said.
The partners had faced a year-end deadline to reach firm agreements on proposed joint programmes or scrap them to pursue their own projects.
Besides small cars to replace current Opel Corsa and Peugeot 208 models, the carmakers will share development of a subcompact minivan, as well as a new vehicle platform in the compact category, Peugeot said on Thursday.
The new architecture will spawn an Opel people-mover likely to replace its current Zafira and a Peugeot crossover - between a car and an SUV.
GM and Peugeot are due to give a January update on their cooperation plans as well as the $2 billion in estimated annual savings they touted when the alliance was first unveiled.
Since then, the partners have put aside plans to develop a small car for Latin America, a dual-clutch gearbox and now the tentative mid-sized car programme.
The door remains open to cooperation outside Europe, GM and Peugeot said, promising "exploration of product and industrial initiatives in Latin America or other growth markets".
Peugeot has reached an agreement in principle with creditor banks to refinance its Banque PSA lending arm and expects to finalise the deal next month, the company also said.
In return for the state-backed 11.5 billion euro debt rescue and guarantees on 7 billion euros of further borrowing, the carmaker appointed French industrialist Louis Gallois to its board as a government representative.
But the bailout and increased ministerial pressure on Peugeot have raised some doubts at GM about deeper cooperation.
Following the government intervention, "our partner naturally asked itself some questions", Varin said in his interview with Le Monde. "I spent a certain amount of time explaining the situation to them."

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) — A pickup truck going the wrong way on a rural Arizona interstate struck a charter bus head-on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring nine others, authorities said.
The pickup truck burst into flames, and the driver was declared dead at the scene on Interstate 10 in Casa Grande, about 50 miles south of Phoenix. Authorities couldn't immediately say if he died on impact or in the ensuing fire.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials identified the driver as Francis Wilkens Gibson Jr., 78, of Casa Grande. They said the cause of the crash remained under investigation and "nothing has been ruled out at this point."
DPS Capt. Brian Preston said investigators will be working to determine whether drugs or alcohol were a factor.
Nine of the 15 passengers on the bus were injured, but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening, DPS said. Two passengers were flown to Casa Grande Regional Medical Hospital, and the other seven were taken to the same facility by ground ambulance.
The bus driver was conscious and walking around when authorities arrived, Preston said.
"Generally when you have a vehicle going the wrong way on an interstate, you'd think it would be much worse than this," he said.
The charter bus was owned by TBC Connexion and was travelling from Mexico to Phoenix, according to authorities. The names, ages and hometowns of the bus driver and passengers weren't immediately released.
Calls to TBC Conexion's offices in Phoenix and Tucson weren't returned Tuesday evening.
DPS officials said that about two minutes before the 2:15 p.m. crash, they received two 911 calls about a driver on I-10 — the main route from Phoenix to Tucson — travelling east in the westbound lanes.
"We were responding when the accident occurred," said DPS spokesman Bart Graves.
The fiery crash closed the westbound lanes of the freeway near Interstate 8 for hours, backing up traffic for miles until one lane was reopened Tuesday evening. The bus still sat on the side of the freeway, its front end crumpled from the impact, and several windows blown out.
Graves said an 18-wheeler jackknifed at the accident scene and hit the side of the bus, but the main damage was done by the pickup truck. The driver of the tractor-trailer wasn't injured.

Bessed.com has been around only since October 2006. If the content on the site seems a little sparse, that's part of the reason. It comes down to the way Bessed works; it's entirely human-based, and, as its own FAQ admits, "us humans are slower than bots."
Bessed is built on top of WordPress blog software. Every search results page on a topic that Bessed returns when you search is technically a blog post. Human editors "seed" each topic with five high quality links, and other users can suggest other links to add. Bessed is deliberately limiting the number of links on a topic to 100 however, with the idea of keeping the quality high and keeping out the spam.
The idea of human editors is somewhat reminiscent of About.com, founded ten years ago with the idea that humans are the best guides to the web. Bessed's approach seems to be more interactive as far as users sending in feedback. There are ways to suggest URLs (more on that in a bit) and to comment on links posted to the site.
One point worth noting is that Bessed's editors aren't actually volunteers. These freelancers are actually paid to "seed" topics, so they need to be at least somewhat knowledgeable about the topic and very good at using search engines. In one of his blog entries, Jusko notes that "where appropriate, we try to offer in our top links these types of sites: an overview site, a link or two of recent news on the topic/keyword, recent blog posts, seminal historical events, videos of interest, photographs. Our thought is that if you are researching a topic, you could use our first 10 or so links and get a pretty complete picture."
So is Bessed mainly for the researcher, the idly curious, someone trying to find out which cell phone or digital camera to buy, or what? Judging from Bessed's concept, it makes as much sense to ask who a library is for – and the answer is, "it depends on the contents of the library." Let's take a look at Bessed's contents.
{mospagebreak title=Bessed at First Glance}
Bessed's home page does not follow the stark model set by Google, nor would it make sense for it to do so. It's not as cluttered as About.com either though. Here's a screen shot, somewhat cropped to fit in as much as I could as clearly as I could:
As with many social search engines, Bessed puts new links front and center on the home page, because that's what's important to searchers. So let me first draw your attention to the entry that's just under the search box. It has a title, a link you can click on for more information, another link you can click on to add a comment, and a date. In other words, just as promised, it is formatted like a blog entry.
Since that one looks a little atypical for Bessed results, let's look at the one just below it. Again, it has a title with keywords, as well as content explaining what the entry is about. It includes links (and tells right at the beginning how many links it includes), each with a sentence or two describing the site. And it solicits users for more links: "Know of another site that should be listed here? Leave your suggestion at the bottom of this page."
On the right hand side of the home page you'll find a column that lists popular searches, most recent posts, and (below the "fold") a section of links that are "Also Important," which include the FAQ, a link for users to add a URL/suggest a site, RSS feeds for entries and comments (very cool use of that technology, by the way), and other items.
I particularly liked seeing the link to Adam Jusko's Bessed blog here; it's good public relations, adds a level of transparency, and certainly lets you know what the founder is thinking. He's not afraid of wrestling with the hard questions in public, either. He wrote an interesting and insightful entry recently about Bessed receiving its first submission of a URL that goes to a porn site, and the can of worms that would open however it was handled.
{mospagebreak title=Using Bessed}
Okay, we've looked at the home page and noticed some of its points of interest – be sure to check out the FAQ by the way; it explains the site, with attitude ("Who else will add your stinking Web site based solely on its quality, not on how many other sites link to it or how long your site's been around? No one, that's who."). It's time to see how well it delivers.
You can actually take two different approaches here. If you click on the site map, you get a list in alphabetical order of the topics it has covered. You can also use the search box if you don't want to scroll down the list. So what happens when I use the search box for one of my favorite searches, namely "juggling"?
The image is cropped, of course, but you can see clearly what happened. I want to emphasize that I expected this result, and I don't hold it against the site; remember, Bessed has been around only since October 2006, so it's bound to have some gaps. Wikipedia has an article on juggling with links leading to other sites. About.com seems to have an area devoted to juggling, but in some ways it's not as easy to find as some of the other areas (like the one devoted to crochet, for example). But both About.com and Wikipedia have been around much longer than Bessed, so they have had time to build up their readership, their editors, and their active users.
So how is Bessed on the topics it actually covers? Let's look at the entry for Apple Computer, which must have been one of the earliest ones, judging from the date. This will take more than one image.
Here you see the top sites are pretty legitimate: the company web site, its Wikipedia entry, and a news story. The news story dates to the same date as the blog entry…and while it doesn't look totally outdated yet, it will if it stays there too much longer. Keeping these entries up to date may become a challenge; fortunately, Bessed is set up to receive feedback from users, so that should hopefully help them to know when certain things are need updating.
Here's the next part of the page:
Well, now we know at least one of the places Bessed hopes to get their revenue – and again, I can't find fault with that. The unsponsored links show another news story, and the site for the main conference and expo focused on Apple. These are all appropriate, though the same caveat applies about the news story. At least the news links were still active when I clicked on them.
In all fairness, this is what I got when I simply clicked on an entry from the site map. What would have happened if I'd typed the word "apple" (without quotes, of course) into the search engine? Take a look:
This may not be on target for fruit fanciers, but it's certainly on target for tech types. Bessed returned 11 results in all, with the only one that made me scratch my head being the last one – Mexico vacations? A click on the link gave me the answer to that one: the blog page's links include one for a site called "Travel Pod" and another one for "Apple vacations."
{mospagebreak title=User Interaction With Bessed}
Every search result that is returned is really a blog. At the bottom of the page is a form you can fill out to give feedback, which looks something like this:
That image is pretty self-explanatory to anybody who has ever commented on a blog, so I'm not going to go into any further detail. I will say that some topics have lots of comments attached to them, and Jusko gets involved in replying as well. This helps to provide the social aspect to the search engine.
If you want to get an interesting look at how the site works, try adding a topic. Remember when I tried to search for juggling and came back empty-handed? It's easy to click on the link for "Suggest a new page." This takes you to a page that explains the site's guidelines for submission. Right now they're only accepting submissions aimed at a U.S. audience, and only English-language sites at that. (By way of explanation, an Australian site aimed at Australians wouldn't meet their requirements…but an Australian site aimed at tourists, especially tourists from abroad, would).
On this page, you can scroll down and see the 99 comments (at this time of writing) from people who have suggested adding topics and/or URLs, with follow-up comments from Bessed workers explaining when and where a site was added; "Tim, your site has been added under Nintendo Wii" with a link to the Nintendo Wii page is a typical entry here. But some sites do get rejected for not meeting the requirements and other sites get included in ways that might perhaps raise an eyebrow.
Take one site that was accepted with the comment "web, we've added your site under Fresno Wedding Photographers, but you probably won't like our description of your site." Indeed, if you check out that page, you find this description for the fifth link: "Digital Engineering Fresno Wedding Photography – We're not even quite sure if this is the name of the company, and, to be honest, the Web site doesn't inspire much confidence, but they do show some wedding photos and offer a price list and phone number. Hopefully the photography is more artful than the Web site."
It doesn't exactly inspire confidence, and one wonders if it really should have been included at all. On the other hand, if this site had been pumped up with search engine optimization it could very well have made it to the top of an algorithm-using search engine with no comments or warnings at all. Also, with any luck, as more people become interested in Bessed, it will attract users who can suggest better sites and recommend the removal of sites that aren't so good.
Part search engine, part blog, part social site…even after reviewing Bessed, it's a little tricky to categorize. Perhaps Jusko himself characterized it best when he explained in an email to me that "Our goal is not to get people to completely switch away from where they get information—instead it's to be a trusted source that other Webmasters link to and other search engines rank highly." It may not boast a lot in its index yet, but it's worth watching.

Note As of 15 November 2015, the Zune service has been discontinued. This may cause errors when attempting to stream or download content or update the service.
Typically, media you download from an online service is protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology. Protected media comes with a licence containing media usage rights that specify how you can use the content. For example, media usage rights for a song might allow you to play the song on one computer and sync it to a certain number of devices, but might prevent you from burning the song to a CD or playing it on a different computer.
Learn more about DRM-protected media and how it works with Xbox Music and the Zune software.
Note Zune Marketplace not available in all countries or regions.
Some media you purchase from the Zune Marketplace is protected, and purchased media often comes with a permanent licence. However, MP3 files are "DRM-free", which means they're not DRM-protected, and there are no restrictions on how these files are used or distributed.

To find out whether videos are DRM-protected
Note Music Pass and Zune Marketplace not available in all countries or regions.
All music that you download as part of an Xbox Music Pass (which includes Zune Music Pass) is DRM-protected. While your pass is valid:
Licences need to be updated periodically, so be sure to connect the computer that has your Xbox Music Pass items to Zune Marketplace at least once every two weeks, so that Zune Music + Video can refresh your licenses. If you sync protected songs to a device, you'll need to sync periodically to refresh those licences as well.
If your licences expire, you won't be able to listen to the protected songs until you restore the media usage rights. For example, if your Xbox Music Pass lapses, the licences for Xbox Music Pass items will expire, and you'll need to renew them before you can play your music using an Xbox Music Pass again.

What is DRM?
DRM is Digital Rights Management. DRM technology is used by content providers, such as online stores, to control how digital music and video files are used and distributed. Online stores sell and rent DRM-protected music and videos that have media usage rights to enable specific use of the content. The Zune Music + Video software, Zune devices and Zune Marketplace support and use Windows Media Digital Rights Management.
What is a protected song or a protected video?
A protected song or video is a file that uses DRM protection. To play the protected song or video, you must have the media usage rights for it.
Does Zune play all protected files?
No. The Zune software and devices only play protected music files from Zune Marketplace.
What are media usage rights?
Media usage rights, also known as licences, are permissions to use a protected song or a protected video in a particular way. Content providers can specify in the media usage rights how you can use the protected content that you obtain from them. For example, Zune Marketplace can grant the following media usage rights for content:
Examples of DRM-protected content in the Zune Marketplace
Examples of DRM-free content in the Zune Marketplace
What is a licence?
A licence is another name for media usage rights. By default, DRM content that's purchased from the Zune Marketplace is allocated five computer licences and unlimited device syncs. In some cases, additional licences may be available if you use all five default computer licences. To obtain additional licences issued for content, you must contact Xbox Support. A licence is automatically consumed in the following scenarios:
Are media usage rights stored in the music or video file?
No. Media usage rights are stored on the computer separately from your music or video files.
How does the Zune software use media usage rights?
When you try to use a protected song or a protected video, the Zune software checks whether you have valid media usage rights for that file. If the media usage rights let you perform the action, Zune performs that action for you.
If Zune does not find valid media usage rights for the file, or if the rights do not let you perform the action, Zune does not perform the action. Typically, you receive an error message that states why the action was not performed. You can also check the properties of the file in the Zune software to view the content's DRM rights.

THE MODERATOR:Â Questions.
Q. (Question regarding point guard matchup.)
COACH McCAFFERY: He's played really well, Lucious. I've been really impressed with him, shooting it well. Knew he had great speed, could create. Had great speed and quickness and could create. It is going to be clearly an experience situation against a guy that has been around.
I look at it this way. It's a great challenge for him.
Q. Do they know each other?
COACH McCAFFERY: I am sure he does. Played against each other.
Q. How different of a team is this Iowa State team than teams you have gone up against in the past?
COACH McCAFFERY: This team has a lot of weapons. You know, it's rare that you find a team with this kind of athletic power that shoots it that well. You just don't see that combination a lot. So they defend and they rebound and they've got quick guys who can drive it. But then they spread you out and make threes.
You have a team that's leading the country in rebounding, makes 13 threes. It's averaging right at 10 threes a game. Obviously when you think about your ability to defend a team with that many weapons, it's very challenging.
Q. You talk about rebounding. You've been out‑rebounded in your two losses. Do you think that's an important area?
COACH McCAFFERY: I think anybody that plays them all year long, it's going to be maybe the most critical factor as you approach the game. There's a lot of things you're going to try to break down in preparation to play a team of that caliber.
But if you think about the number of opportunities to get the ball and score, it's certainly a major consideration against them because they tend to limit you to one and get more than one. It makes it hard to win if you're playing with those kinds of odds.
It's only logical to look at it and say, We got to rebound.
Q. (Question regarding Georges Niang.)
COACH McCAFFERY: He's a terrific player. He really is. He's one of those guys, you look at his stats, they're really good, especially for a freshman. I think he's one of those players that is even more valuable than his statistics. His numbers will go up. He's averaging about 21 minutes a game. Those numbers will go up over the course of his career.
He's very efficient. He can pass it, post up, feed the post. He's shooting the ball better outside, but he's not taking a ton of threes. He can shoot 41. He was really more of a low‑post scorer.
He's got a variety of moves, very crafty. He's got a body.
Q. As a coach, are you curious about how Anthony will handle this? Will this be a big test in your mind?
COACH McCAFFERY: No question. That's what the process is. You've seen a lot of basketball. That's what we have to look forward to. How does he respond? If he does well, great. If he doesn't do well, what do you learn? If he does well, you still got to keep working. You don't want to get too ahead of yourself one way or the other. It's something you have to go through.
If you think about it, our two losses, we had Armistead and Green. One is a senior, one is a fifth‑year senior, two of the better point guards we'll face all year. As you know, our league, pretty much every team has one. It's a great indicator I think for where we're headed with him.
Q. You've been around both point guards awhile now. Do they handle these situations differently? Are they even‑keeled?
COACH McCAFFERY: They don't seem to get too nervous, no. They still make freshmen mistakes at times, but I think the critical thing for both of them is it doesn't seem to wear on them, it doesn't seem to lead to further breakdowns, which happens a lot with freshmen.
I think that's a combination of two things: they're kind of mature personalities, both of them, and they also have a real good understanding of how to play. So they just seem to be able to get to the next play.
I thought Anthony was a little bit jittery in his first start, the first five minutes or so. Pretty much after that he's been really good.
Q. (Question regarding Will Clyburn.)
COACH McCAFFERY: You look at his rebounding numbers, they're phenomenal. He's got great length. He's got great pace in his game. He can spot up, be a three‑point shooter, he can be a slasher in transition, he can score in their sets at halfcourt. They post him up. He can play with ball screens. He's got the kind of game, you look at it, you say, There's a guy that's probably going to play in the NBA. He's got that kind of game.
Q. How pleased are you with your defense so far?
COACH McCAFFERY: I would say I feel a lot better about it than we did last year. I feel like we've had great improvement in that area. I don't know if 'pleased' is the right word. We still have a long way to go. And I think in this game, they'll challenge our defense big‑time because of how they stretch the floor, different weapons they have.
They have so many seniors, five seniors, that just play. A guy comes off the bench, he might be the best sixth man in the country. Very few guys come off the bench and affect the game at both ends of the floor. They usually do it one or the other. He does both. That's a great weapon to have.
Q. (Indiscernible.)
COACH McCAFFERY: You look at his numbers. He has as good of numbers as anybody. He gets a lot of things done. Seems like everybody is talking about other people, but he's a guy that tends to be able to get things done when they need it, in crunch time. He has that ability, and that's special.
Q. How much of an importance do you place on a game like this, considering it is an in‑state rivalry?
COACH McCAFFERY: You know, I don't really look too much at the rivalry aspect. I look at it as it's a tremendous opportunity to play a really good team. I mean, this is a team that will be ranked. If they're not ranked yet, they're going to be ranked.
Fred does a terrific job. They run a lot of good stuff. They've got a very experienced team. They're physically built like Big Ten teams. Be one of the best teams in the Big 12, no question.
It's a tremendous challenge, especially for our young players. It will be a great barometer. If we play well, that will be terrific. But if not, then we learn and we move forward.
But we've got more teams like this coming on our schedule. So it's a great test for us now.
Q. What does getting a win tomorrow night do for the team as they go into conference play?
COACH McCAFFERY: It would give us a tremendous amount of confidence if we won. What I'm trying to do right now is finalize the game plan, what I think we need to do, then go out and play well, get consistent performances out of a number of different people.
We've been better in that area this year without question. We've got a lot of different individuals coming through for us. We're going to need all of them tomorrow night.
Q. When you were a senior, if you were playing against a freshman, do you approach it any differently psychologically?
COACH McCAFFERY: No. I never did. I always looked at it like this: I respected everybody that lined up across from me. You know, that's kind of how we try to do it. You want to respect your opponent. You don't fear anybody. That's kind of how you have to go about it.
I'm going to work as hard as I can. I'm going to be consistent with the game plan. We're going to fight you. We're going to compete.
If you get me, you get me. We go on to the next game, break this one down, try to get better, go on to the next game, try to improve.
In terms of that particular aspect, I never looked at it that way and I doubt he is.
Q. Can a young guy almost have too much respect for a guy? How dangerous is that for a younger player to do that?
COACH McCAFFERY: He can. But I don't think he will. I mean, he's going to respect what he knows. He's seen Lucious play well. He's seen him play well in the Final Four. This is a guy who has been around. He's watching him on film.
You watch him play, he's playing really well.  He has your respect right off the bat. I think that's enough. I don't think you want to give anybody too much respect, but understand what are the things that he does to help his team win, okay? What does Anthony have to do to help our team win? That's what he's got to stay focused on.
Q. The comparisons between the programs are obvious. What do you hear around the state about Iowa/Iowa State?
COACH McCAFFERY: You know, I'll be honest with you, I don't hear a lot on the I club circuit certainly. It's not something we talk about. I mean, the only stuff I would hear would be the stuff that I read that you guys write. Other than that, really not too much.
Q. Do you prepare the freshmen any differently for their first big rivalry game? Do you address it at all with them?
COACH McCAFFERY: No. No. I don't typically get into those aspects of a competition. That's just not my style. What I try to do is focus on what do we have to do individually, what do we have to do collectively, what are the four or five things that are going to be absolutely critical that we do to win this game.
We study our opponent. Every game plan is different. We just played two nights ago, but it will be a completely different game plan, be a completely different game plan next week. It's important they lock into that.
That's what I want them thinking about, not thinking about any of the extraneous stuff, the trappings, rivalries, crowds, anything like that. You just got to stay focused on the task at hand.
Anything short of that, we won't play well.
Q. With five freshmen, their first finals coming up next week, how do you approach things after tomorrow night with that group?
COACH McCAFFERY: Well, I think in terms of how we approach it after the game, it will always be a function of how well the game went or how well it didn't go, okay? But anytime you have finals week, it's absolutely critical that our focus be on finals.
We get the final exam schedules, we figure out if and when we're going to practice. The players know they have the option, if they have a study group, an extra tutoring session, something like that, they have the ability to miss practice.
We try to schedule it so that it doesn't conflict with anybody's exam schedule. But, as you know, if you have exams back to back, maybe three in a row, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you're going to need some time.
So what we'll do is we'll get our film sessions in, adjust, plan accordingly. We do have a week to get ready for the game.
Thank you.

Doctor Who: Season Four DVDs
The rebooted Doctor Who just keeps going from strength to strength. (If you've managed to avoid seeing a single episode of Doctor Who since it started airing in 1963, the show features an enigmatic time traveller, the Doctor, who foils various nefarious schemes, usually with the aid of at least one companion.) Since being revived in 2005, the show has already cycled through a number of major cast changes, with two incarnations of the Doctor and three primary companions. Each combination of Doctor and companion usually produces a very different chemistry, and Season Four is no exception, with David Tennant playing the role of the Doctor and Catherine Tate playing Donna Noble.
Donna and the Doctor's relationship is like that between adult siblings or very old friends, and it's a nice change of pace from the romantic overtones that played out with the previous two companions. The dynamic is enhanced by the fact that Tate/Noble is older than the typical early-twenty-something female companion, and so perhaps a little less susceptible to looking at the adventurous Doctor with a starry-eyed gaze. Donna is perfectly willing cut the Doctor down to size if she thinks he's getting a little too pleased with himself. This leads to some of the most memorable exchanges of the show to date, and Tate plays the part with impeccable comic timing and gusto. Tennant is, well, still the best Doctor ever (with Tom Baker in a more than honorable second place.)
The Doctor and Donna's friendship plays out across a season of ambitious stories. The fall of Pompeii, a factory of alien slaves, a library the size of a planet that plays host to some of the scariest monsters ever, and the intensely claustrophobic confines of a damaged shuttle all form the background to some thrilling (and sometimes genuinely moving) plots. The season builds to a no-holds-barred climax which acts as a reunion show of sorts: A group of the Doctor's former companions (including Torchwood's Captain Jack and Sarah Jane Smith) band together to stop a dark threat from the past. Some Who watchers objected to the second half of the finale, feeling that the conclusion tried too hard to make fans happy in some respects. But I think the show stayed true to the darker and more ambiguous nature of the show, with an ending that really packed a punch.
The DVD's also include the standalone 2006 Christmas Special, in which the Doctor teams up with Astrid Peth, played by none other than Kylie Minogue. (The real scene stealers are The Hosts, angelic robot concierges that go very, very bad.) There's also a set of making-of features, one for each episode, deleted scenes (including a slightly, but significantly, alternate ending to the Season Four finale), and a bunch of other extras. If you decide to only ever own one season of Doctor Who, make it this one.

Haha, I adore Kylie! She's so adorable

Police remove man's body from Nashua RiverBy KIMBERLEY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
April 04. 2013 10:10PM
NASHUA - The body of an unidentified man was pulled from the Nashua River by a dive team on Thursday after a passer-by spotted the body partially submerged in the water.
The pedestrian contacted authorities, and police and fire personnel arrived on the scene around 1:30 p.m. below the dam behind Margarita's Restaurant.
A small crowd of spectators gathered to watch as a dive team prepared to enter the water and retrieve the body.
The body of the adult male was stuck on a large branch protruding from the water, according to Lt. Michael Moushegian.
"The current is pretty swift, so they are trying to figure out how to remove him. It is deeper than they initially thought," Moushegian said at the scene.
Divers used ropes to detach the shirtless body from the branch and eventually pull it onto the shore before it was lifted onto a stretcher, up a ladder and over an embankment around 4:30 p.m.
"At this point we don't know who it is," Moushegian said late Thursday afternoon. Police are not speculating on the identity of the body, but did say that a person was reported missing in February while taking his dog for a walk along the river.
It is too early in the investigation to determine whether the missing person from this past winter is connected to the body found in the river on Thursday, Moushegian said.
Dagualberto Arzuaga, 43, was reported missing in February after walking a relative's dog near Mine Falls Park. Although the dog returned home, Arzuaga never did, prompting police to search the area and send a dive team into the Nashua River nearly two months ago.
Despite the search, Arzuaga was never located, and has been missing ever since.
Rich McLaughlin, the state's deputy medical examiner, was at the scene on Thursday, and police said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the man's cause of death.
The man's identity and cause of death were not expected to be released Thursday night, according to Moushegian, who said it is too premature to say whether the incident is criminal, accidental or intentional.
The body, as it was pulled from the river, appeared to be wearing jeans and boots, but no shirt.
John Hanlon of Hudson was having his car repaired nearby and stopped to see what all of the commotion was about Thursday afternoon near the water's edge.
"I saw a lot of fire trucks and cop cars and I thought they were probably doing some type of exercise or training," said Hanlon.
"It would be surprising if there was any foul play involved," said Hanlon, who has lived in the area for about 15 years and never knew a pathway existed along the Nashua River behind Margarita's Restaurant and the Nashua Public Library.
Earlier this year in the same vicinity, city police responded twice to Black Bridge, an old covered bridge near the railroad trestle, for two unrelated suicides.

Search fruitless in effort to find missing Ky teen
Search fruitless in effort to find missing Ky teen
RICHMOND, Ky. —
Investigators say the search is ongoing for an 18-year-old woman missing from her home in central Kentucky.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Paul Blanton told The Richmond Register that no further foot searches were planned as they continue to try and find Brookelyn Shae Farthing. Farthing was last seen more than a week ago near her home in the Red Lick community of Madison County.
Troopers on Saturday directed more than 80 people who searched through 500 acres.
Detectives are still trying to develop information about Farthing's disappearance. The home where Farthing was last seen was on fire on June 22 and she was missing.
Blanton says investigators have reason to believe Farthing did not disappear on her own.

Two advanced thermal management devices that are relatively common in high power applications are thermoelectric devices (also known as thermoelectric coolers or Peltier devices) and heat pipes. Thermoelectric devices are solid-state components that allow heat to be 'pumped' against a temperature gradient when electrical energy is input to the system. Heat pipes are passive devices that rely on phase change (evaporation & condensation) to very efficiently transfer heat from the evaporator location to the condenser location.
When simulating thermoelectric devices and heat pipes in the context of a larger electronics system, it typically is impractical to include the details of the physical phenomena. Instead, the thermal effect of each device is generally desired with appropriate checks and limits to ensure accurate operation.
This webcast explores the fundamental operation of each device and the details of simulating them in an electronics system using STAR-CCM+®.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Two former police officers have been charged with trying to extort $50,000 from a suspected drug dealer in exchange for help in getting his case dismissed, authorities said Tuesday.
One officer, 30-year-old Abimael Arroyo Cruz, is accused of misidentifying the suspect in court to force prosecutors to drop the case. The other, 36-year-old Josue Becerril Ramos, is accused of not showing up at court to testify and of not giving a prosecutor the documents needed to validate a search warrant, according to the indictment.
Both officers are free on $25,000 bond each, although U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke the bond. Police Special Assistant Ricardo Martinez said the officers have been suspended without pay.
It's the first time police officers in Puerto Rico have faced these types of charges, but Rodriguez said she believes there may be similar cases that have not yet been investigated.
"I think it's a small number," she said. "If you have 17,000 police officers, it's to be expected. It's unfortunate, but I don't think it's unusual."
The charges come as the island's police department, the second largest compared with any U.S. state, continues under federal scrutiny for other cases of corruption and civil rights violations.
Federal prosecutors said the two officers had arrested the unidentified suspect, his brother and six other people in August on charges of possessing marijuana and unregistered firearms. Before a court appearance, the officers asked the suspect and his brother to wear matching grey jackets and to sit next to each other so they could purposely misidentify the suspect, according to the indictment.
The officers received a first installment of $20,000 in cash before the court hearing, the indictment stated, adding that the money was thrown over the side of a highway as requested.
After the court hearing, the officers are accused of receiving a second installment of $15,000 in cash that was placed in the passenger seat of a car parked at a fast-food restaurant.
Rodriguez declined to provide more details about the case, including how the officers had access to the suspect. The indictment said that the suspect and officers spoke by phone. It also stated that the people who dropped off the money were informants.
Rodriguez said local prosecutors plan to drop the case against the suspect as a result of the officers' arrest.

OK, I am finally back to continue my report on the FGS Conference in Knoxville. I fell ill on Monday, and it is great to be feeling well again. I thought it was just conference hangover at first, but I believe that I had a 24-hour bug. I left off my last posting with Day One at the conference.
On Day Two, I woke up late once again and missed the 8:00 sessions. I went to breakfast at the Crowne Plaza restaurant and then headed over for the 9:30 sessions. My session was about pension agents, examining surgeons, and pension bureau employees in the nineteenth century and was given by Dr. Kenneth W. Heger of the National Archives. This was also one of my favorite sessions, and fellow geneablogger Tina from Gen Wish List, was there. I learned that I should check the records containing appeals for my great-great-great-grandfather, John Pemberton. He had a very large pension file, and while it looks like most of his appeal info is in his regular pension file, Dr. Heger said that there is a possibility some of the information is in the appeals files, which are not indexed. If you haven't ordered a pension file for your ancestor, I highly recommend it. John Pemberton's was my biggest goldmine yet.
For the 11:00 session, I attended Victor Dunn's session titled "The Research Process." I did not see any other geneabloggers in attendance, but I did sit next to a gentleman from East Tennessee. He asked what surnames I was researching in the area, and when I told him that one was Proffitt, he said that there used to be a Proffitt Department Store in East Tennessee and that there are still lots of Proffitts in the area today. I really liked this session because it was a nice refresher course on the research process as outlined in the BCG Manual. It had a slight focus on tips for client research, which is helpful to potential professionals like myself. I also found out that the presenter was an accountant too, which is always a plus in my book.
Afterward, I attended lunch with Tina, Linda, and Tonia before heading back to attend George Morgan's session on locating Anglican parish records in England. I had heard George give a talk on vital records in England on the RootsMagic Cruise, so I knew that this would also be an informative and entertaining session. We learned the history of the Anglican Church, what information is contained in parish records, and where the parish records are located today. This will help me a lot with my Plaine and Hillman ancestors on my maternal grandmother's side. They immigrated from England to Canada in the 1850s and 1860s.
After hearing Elizabeth Shown Mills the first day, I had to go to her session about The Genealogical Proof Standard on the second day. Just about all geneabloggers were in attendance and sitting on geneabloggers row for this session. Once again, Ms. Mills reminded us that we need to check all records, no matter where they are located and whether or not they are indexed. She presented a wonderful case study on proving the parentage of her client's ancestor.
Between sessions, I ran downstairs to put my door prize tickets in the exhibitors' boxes before the big drawings at 6:00 PM. I was planning to attend the session on land records by Christine Rose, but I had left my belongings with the geneabloggers who were waiting for the session on timelines to begin. I did not have enough time to grab my things and then run back downstairs to Rose's session, so I decided to stay for the timelines session. I learned of a few websites to use when constructing timelines in genealogy.
After this, I headed back downstairs to put in a few more door prize tickets at the last minute. I had procrastinated filling out my door prize tickets b/c I didn't have any address labels. There were some awesome prizes given away, such as an iPad, 5-day genealogy cruise to Bermuda, seven-night stay in Salt Lake City, free conference registration to the Illinois State Genealogical Society conference and the NGS conference, etc. Of course, I didn't win anything. Oh, well. It was fun anyway.
Finally, I attended the War of 1812 reception, where we learned about the digitization project of the War of 1812 pension files. There was also a prize there: 7-night stay in SLC plus airfare, meal cards, and copy cards for the FHL. After the drawing was over, I headed back to the hotel after the longest conference day yet.
As it is getting late, I will wrap this up again. Stay tuned for more reports on FGS 2010 in Knoxville!

Sorry to hear you were ill after the conference, and glad that you are better. It's interesting to hear what the other presentations were like!ReplyDelete
Sorry you were sick. I thought you were just kidding about conference hangover.ReplyDelete
Well, I was just kidding that morning. I just woke up really tired, so I figured it was just from the conference, even though I felt fine on Sunday when I got home. Then in the afternoon, my stomach started hurting. It must have been a 24-hour bug.
I agree that it is nice to hear about the other presentations. That way you know for next time whether you want to attend or not if that speaker is around.

The city has new powers to go after people who sell and distribute some synthetic drugs.
DAYTONA BEACH — The city has new powers to go after people who sell and distribute some synthetic drugs.
At their meeting Wednesday night, city commissioners approved a measure that will allow the city's code enforcement officers to fine people up to $500 per violation for peddling synthetic marijuana and synthetic stimulants that the sellers try to disguise as potpourri, incense and bath salts.
Because state law hasn't outlawed the ingredients in the products that have been showing up at local convenience stores and tobacco shops, the city can't make it a criminal violation, said City Attorney Marie Hartman. At least not yet.
Groups such as the Volusia Council of Governments and several local governments are getting behind a push to convince the state legislature to outlaw the products that have mostly become popular with young adults and kids.
Holly Hill and Daytona Beach Shores are slated to take final votes next week on similar measures banning synthetic drugs not approved by the Food and Drug Administration and not available with a prescription. Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater and DeLand are moving in the same direction on the issue.
Daytona Beach is the first Volusia County municipality to outlaw the drugs that mimic the highs of marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine. In Flagler County, Palm Coast and Bunnell have already outlawed the substances.
Daytona Beach police Capt. Craig Capri told city commissioners Wednesday night that his officers have been aggressive about cracking down on synthetic drugs, and have managed to keep the problem in check better than some other cities.
'It's got to be nipped in the bud,' agreed Mayor Glenn Ritchey.
City Commissioner Edith Shelley, who has pushed for the city to go after sales of the drugs, said she hopes the city can get a measure with more teeth in it.
'What this does to young people is extremely serious,' said Shelley, who was at her last City Commission meeting since she resigned her Zone 1 post in a run for mayor that fell short Tuesday night.
A person or business in Daytona Beach cited now for a code violation involving one of the substances will face a civil penalty of $250 on an initial violation. If they contest the citation, they can wind up with penalties of up to $500 for each violation.

Sixers draft Evan Turner
There was a brief, inexplicable moment about a week ago, when something called a "splash page" appeared on the 76ers' website. It wasn't supposed to be there. But there it was. The page, which appeared for just a few seconds, identified Evan Turner as the Sixers' choice with the No. 2 pick in tonight's draft.

24 Kan. App. 2d 891
No. 79,255
In the Matter of the Adoption of A.J.P., a Minor Child.
1. When applying K.S.A. 59-2136(d) to a case where a natural parent is incarcerated, different standards must apply than simply counting the number of contacts or figuring payment of support. The trial court must consider whether the parent has made reasonable attempts, under all the circumstances, to maintain a close relationship with his or her child and whether those attempts are sufficient to require the parent's consent be given to an adoption.
2. If a natural parent is incarcerated for all or a substantial portion of the 2 years prior to the filing of an adoption petition, it is proper, if necessary, to look to and consider events beyond the 2-year inquiry period established by K.S.A. 59-2136(d) to determine whether the parent has made sufficient efforts to maintain a close relationship with his or her child prior to the time he or she was incarcerated.
Appeal from Atchison District Court; PHILIP C. LACEY, judge. Opinion filed February 20, 1998. Affirmed.
John R. Kurth, of Garrity, Kuckelman & Kurth, of Atchison, for appellant.
Patrick E. Henderson, of Duncan-Senecal Law Offices, Chtd., of Atchison, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., ROYSE and GREEN, JJ.
BRAZIL, C.J.: D.C., the natural father of A.J.P., appeals the termination of his parental rights incident to an adoption petition filed by A.J.P.'s stepfather.
We affirm.
G.L.S. and D.C. were involved in 1990 when G.L.S. became pregnant. G.L.S. learned that she was pregnant with A.J.P. after the couple had broken up. D.C. was made aware of the pregnancy before the child was born, but he did nothing financially or otherwise to support G.L.S. through her pregnancy. After A.J.P.'s birth on June 22, 1991, a paternity case was filed in which D.C. was ordered to pay child support. He later filed a petition to establish visitation and, for approximately 3 to 6 months, exercised visitation on a regular basis. He has never paid any child support.
When A.J.P. was approximately 14 months old, D.C. was incarcerated and has remained in custody for the last 5 years of A.J.P.'s life. He will not be eligible for release on his current sentence until December 1999.
The stepfather, N.J.S., had been in a relationship with A.J.P.'s natural mother for approximately 2 1/2 years at the time of the hearing. A.J.P. had lived in the same house with the stepfather for that entire period. N.J.S. supported the child financially throughout that time and has been the only father figure the child recognizes.
The trial court concluded that D.C. had failed or refused to assume the duties of a parent for the 2 years next preceding the petition in this matter. The court further concluded that, pursuant to K.S.A. 59-2136(d), his consent was unnecessary.
In an adoption proceeding, the consent of both parents is required unless the court makes a specific finding that the consent of one is not required. K.S.A. 59-2129(a)(2); In re Adoption of C.R.D., 21 Kan. App. 2d 94, 97, 897 P.2d 181 (1995). In the instant case, involving stepparent adoption, the natural father refused to consent to the adoption.
K.S.A. 59-2136(d) provides:
|"(d) In a stepparent adoption, . . . the consent of such father must be given to the adoption unless such father has failed or refused to assume the duties of a parent for two consecutive years next preceding the filing of the petition for adoption or is incapable of giving such consent. In determining whether a father's consent is required under this subsection, the court may disregard incidental visitations, contacts, communications or contributions. In determining whether the father has failed or refused to assume the duties of a parent for two consecutive years next preceding the filing of the petition for adoption, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that if the father, after having knowledge of the child's birth, has knowingly failed to provide a substantial portion of the child support as required by judicial decree, when financially able to do so, for a period of two years next preceding the filing of the petition for adoption, then such father has failed or refused to assume the duties of a parent."
Whether a parent has refused or failed to assume his or her duties for the 2 years prior to the filing of an adoption petition is a question of fact, which is reviewed by this court only to determine whether the decision is supported by substantial and competent evidence presented at a full and complete hearing of the matter. This court will not reweigh evidence or pass on the credibility of witnesses, but will only review the facts as presented, in the light most favorable to the party prevailing below, to determine whether the decision of the trial court is properly supported by the testimony and other evidence. See Aslin v. Seamon, 225 Kan. 77, 78, 587 P.2d 875 (1978). Whether the contacts between the natural parent and the child are incidental such that the contacts may be disregarded is to be reviewed on a case by case basis. In re C.R.D., 21 Kan. App. 2d at 100.
In a situation where a natural parent is incarcerated, different standards must be applied than when the natural parent is free from such constraints. In re Adoption of F.A.R., 242 Kan. 231, 236, 747 P.2d 145 (1987). The trial court must consider whether the parent has made reasonable attempts, under all the circumstances, to maintain a close relationship with his or her child, and whether those attempts are sufficient to require the parent's consent be given to an adoption. 242 Kan. at 236. In the instant case, the trial court found that the efforts made were insufficient to require D.C.'s consent to the adoption of A.J.P.
D.C. maintains that the trial court's finding of his failure to act as a father for the 2 years next preceding the filing of this adoption petition was error, and that the finding is not supported by the evidence. In support of this contention, the natural father cites In re Adoption of S.E.B., 257 Kan. 266, 891 P.2d 440 (1995), for the proposition that his incarceration creates an exception to the statutory requirements of his parental responsibilities. This contention is contrary to the language and spirit of both K.S.A. 59-2136(d) and the Supreme Court's holding in S.E.B.
In S.E.B., as here, the natural father was incarcerated for at least a portion of the 2 years preceding the filing of the adoption petition. In both cases, there was a failure by the father to provide court-ordered child support when the father was financially able to do so. However, the facts of S.E.B. and the case at bar differ in the quality of the relationship between the child and the parent. In S.E.B., the children were ages 7 and 9 when their father was incarcerated, and he was incarcerated for only 7 months of the 2 years next preceding the adoption petition filing date. The Supreme Court noted that the relationship with the father and the father's family in S.E.B. continued after the father was incarcerated, and the children had a well-developed relationship with the father and his extended family. The facts of the instant case differ greatly in this regard. First, at the time of the hearing, the natural father of A.J.P. had been incarcerated for 4 of the child's 5 years. He will not be eligible for release until the child is 9 years old. While there is evidence in the record that he exercised his visitation rights in a limited manner before his incarceration, there is no developed relationship between the father and child in this case. The natural father's family made one effort to contact the child after the natural father was incarcerated. No visitation was established. That contact was 3 years prior to the filing of the adoption petition. None of the parties believed that the child would recognize either her natural father or his relatives were she to see them.
The trial court found that these contacts were "incidental" such that they were not evidence of a close enough relationship between the natural father and A.J.P. to require the natural father's consent to the adoption proceeding. We review this finding of fact and conclusion of law only to determine whether substantial evidence exists to support the finding. See Tucker v. Hugoton Energy Corp., 253 Kan. 373, 377, 855 P.2d 929 (1993).
In the instant case, D.C. neither contacted nor attempted to contact his child in any meaningful sense. He claimed in a letter introduced into evidence that he loved his child and that she was one of the few things that kept him alive through his incarceration. However, his actions fail to support this contention as there were no letters, no telephone calls, no birthday cards, or any other contact between this father and his child. He also never provided any financial support to his child, even before he was incarcerated, except for approximately $30 worth of clothing and diapers he claimed to have purchased when the child was an infant.
While D.C. did exercise some limited visitation with the child before his imprisonment, he wholly failed to maintain any contact after that time. Certainly, there was no evidence of any attempt to contact the child within the 2 years immediately preceding the adoption petition. The trial court's finding that the natural father failed to avail himself of the opportunities he did have for maintaining a relationship with his child is supported by the evidence presented at the hearing.
Upon review of all the evidence viewed in the light most favorable to the adoptive father who prevailed in the trial court, there is sufficient evidence to support the trial court's finding that D.C.'s consent to the adoption of A.J.P is unnecessary.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Baylor center midfielder Hanna Gilmore has been both a leader and contributor on the Bears women's soccer team since her 2009 freshman season. She has proven that success is attainable with persistent dedication and an unyielding faith.
The Spring, Texas, senior has started 67 of 75 games during her Baylor career. Gilmore has been ranked among the team's top three for total goals and assists every season. She tied for the team lead her sophomore year with seven goals, a career high.
Although Gilmore played forward during her high school career, associate head coach Paul Jobson felt compelled to switch her to center midfielder.
"She was a forward," Jobson said. "She was a goal scorer, a scrappy goal scorer. It seemed that anything that was in the box she was going to clean up and put in the back of the net. I remember recruiting her and thinking, 'Man, this kid is going to do some great stuff for us.'"
Jobson made the right call. A change in positions can either make or break a player, and it only made Gilmore stronger.
"Some kids step to the challenge and some kids crumble," Jobson said. "Hanna stepped to it. Her class was our first recruiting class, and those kids came in believing in what this program could be. The only thing they had seen in the past was a Baylor program that had struggled. Hanna believed in what we were bringing and she bought into it. She's been a difference-maker. That entire class has been the turning point for the success of Baylor soccer."
According to Jobson, Gilmore is a self-motivated player that has her own routine. Unlike her younger teammates, the veteran does not require much attention. She knows what she needs to do in order to mentally and physically prepare for games.
Dallas, Texas, senior Carlie Davis, who has known Gilmore since high school, shared one of Gilmore's pregame rituals.
"She has a bible verse that she writes on her hand before every game," said Davis. "She's gotten the chance to share with the team about it a couple of times. She's been doing it since freshman year, so she's been really consistent."
Gilmore has written Romans 5:3-5 on her wrist before every game of her college career. Although she has changed the verse a few times, she repeatedly chooses this one because of its relevance to what she experiences on the field.
"It talks about having perseverance and character," Gilmore said, "and how these different things lead to other things. If you persevere through something, you develop your character. When your character is developed, you always have hope. Hope never disappoints."
Gilmore bases all of her athletic success on her Christian faith. God consistently gives her the strength to practice, compete and play to the best of her ability.
"Spiritually, my walk with the Lord is the only thing that gets me through a game and through practices," said Gilmore. "God is bigger than anything we could go through. People fight for their lives every single day, so the least we could do is fight for our team and for the game. This makes us stronger."
Gilmore's faith constantly provides her team with hope and encouragement. She represents not only a brilliant athlete, but an admirable role model as well.
"She has encouraged me so much to be consistent and to be faithful," said Davis. "If you ask anybody they will tell you that Hanna is the heart and soul of the team. Without her, there is not nearly as much laughter or leadership. She's the glue that holds us together."
According to Jobson, leadership is Hanna's strongest skill. The team feeds off her positive energy and driven mentality, whether it's in a training session or in a game. She gives her all into everything she does. Gilmore lives Romans 5:3-5 by persevering on a daily basis.
Whether she's on the field or recovering at home, Hanna Gilmore exudes confidence and humility. She has matured as a player over the years and has learned to accept every challenge life throws her way. With a mentality like this, the possibilities of what she can do for the Baylor women's soccer team are endless.
