Mine Safety Speaker Brings Cautionary TaleSOCORRO, N.M. April 30, 2012 – Charlie Morecraft, longtime spokesman for industrial safety, is the keynote speaker for at the 2012 New Mexico Mine Health and Safety Conference, which kicks off today (Monday, April 30). Morecraft brings a personal message about industrial safety when he takes the stage at Macey Center at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday.

"Our conference theme is 'Your Path to Success' and we want to encourage people in the mining industry to think about health and safety as the course that must be taken to assure successful operations," Foreback said. "The safest mines are the most productive and the most profitable."
Morecraft will speak at the Tuesday Keynote session at 8 a.m. during the three-day conference. When Charlie tells his story the audience sits in rapt attention as they are moved to new levels of awareness. Charlie has that rare and unique ability to speak with ordinary words and conjure extraordinary images.
His primary messages are "Safety is about going home at the end of the day, kissing your wife and hugging your kids", and "We are each responsible for our own safety". They aren't new messages, but Charlie gives us a powerful new way of looking at them.
The Conference Committee is convinced that Charlie's message is valuable for all in the Tech and the local community to hear. To reach as many people as possible, the keynote session will be open to the public with no charge.
Health will also be stressed at this year's conference. Healthy employees contribute at higher levels to an organization's success. Events will include free health screenings by the Miners' Colfax Mobile Unit and a free health fair with health care professionals from the mining industry.
This is the fifth year that mining professionals will congregate at New Mexico Tech for the annual New Mexico Mine Health and Safety Conference. Foreback said he expects this year's event to be more successful then the highly attended conferences of the past.
"We had 175 participants last year and are hoping for a better turnout this year," he said. "We have excellent guest speakers and a series of important, informative breakout session topics."
The New Mexico Bureau of Mine Safety, a department of New Mexico Tech, provides professional services to the state and its miners. Foreback has served as State Mine Inspector for five years.
This year's conference continues to expand and improve on the quality of the presentation and speakers, Foreback said. Sessions are planned on three tracks: leadership, strategies and practice to appeal to the diverse nature of participants. Expected are members of the hourly work force, management, safety pros, and regulators.
Foreback said, "We're trying to draw a cross-section of the more than 6,000 people employed in the mining industry in New Mexico, to bring together different parts of mining organizations to work on mine health and safety issues."
The conference theme "Your Path to Success" gives a nod to topics important to the industry that can be taken back to mining operations to further their safety success.
Most of the events take place at Macey Center, including four meals which are included in the $75 (early registration) price of the conference. Those interested may get information and registration forms by calling the Bureau of Mine Safety at (575) 835-5460.
The conference opens at 9 a.m. Monday with exhibitor setup. Monday afternoon's schedule is devoted to special programs and recreation including four hour sessions on fall protection and CPR and a golf tournament at 11:30 a.m.
A special Miner's Lunch Bucket dinner starts at 6:30 p.m. at Macey Center. A cocktail hour will precede dinner with entertainment by Holy Water and Whiskey, a folk-country music trio from Albuquerque. The dinner speaker will be Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold's VP of Administration and Tyrone Mine Manager, Richard Mohr.
"We are excited to have a representative of Freeport McMoRan," Foreback said. "They have been big supporters of New Mexico Tech providing an endowment for a professorship, scholarships to students and contributions for the new child care facility, among other donations."
Charlie Morecraft will be keynote speaker for the Tuesday morning session, followed by break-out sessions in the morning and afternoon.
A spouse tour promises to be very entertaining. A Moroccan cooking school will be conducted by Chartwell's Chef Hussan. Participants can learn some of the Chef's secrets to the foods of his homeland.
Tours of the Mineral Museum will begin at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, followed by a banquet starting with a cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m. John Mansanti , Senior Vice President of Operations for Intrepid Potash will be the featured speaker.
Wednesday's opening session begins at 8 a.m. followed by break-out sessions and adjournment at noon. A YouTube video discussing the conference is online at http://youtu.be/bYHSOuFA-IU
Foreback was reappointed as State Mine Inspector in 2011 by Governor Martinez. Foreback previously worked for the Mining and Minerals Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, following 26 years in private mining industry.
This year's conference committee includes representatives of the Bureau of Mine Safety, the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration and the New Mexico mining industries.

Podium vacancy showed
LENOX - Who will be the next music director?
The elephant-in-the-room question hung over Tanglewood's 75thanniversary celebrations. It wasn't just that the revolving door to the Boston Symphony Orchestra podium led to ups and downs in performance. A commanding presence, someone who could give character to the festival and galvanize audiences, was missing.
Love them or hate them, Seiji Ozawa and James Levine were the face and sometimes heart of the organization. For better or worse, players and audiences knew who was the boss and generally what to expect.
No one understands the need better than the BSO, and the search committee of trustees, players and administrators is sensibly taking its time to get the job done right. The quest has been ongoing since Levine formally resigned last year, and probably during the years of Levine's health problems before that.
The goal is in sight. In an end-ofseason interview, managing director Mark Volpe said the search committee still has a few conductors it wants to listen and talk to during the winter season, but a successor will likely be named before Tanglewood convenes again. Even then, however, the new leader might not be available for more than limited duty at the start.
To appreciate what 2012 was missing, think of the Beethoven and Wagner programs replicating key programs in the inaugural season. In 1937, Koussevitzky was on the podium.
This year: guests.
Think of the anniversary gala.
Tanglewood on Parade. The Tanglewood Music Center. Any of a number of other concerts given - or not given - when a music director could have represented the line of succession from the founder.
To occasional visitors and celebrity worshipers, the gap at the top probably made little difference. Director or no director, the big anniversary gala and its sequel for John Williams drew capacity audiences of 17,000 and 18,000. Good weather boosted attendance generally.
Programming proceeded largely as usual. New and old conductors and soloists came and went. Like anchors in shifting seas, senior conductors Christoph von Dohnányi and Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, taking three concerts each, provided solidity and a degree of stability, even if Frühbeck seemed ailing.
As much as a season of celebration, 2012 seemed a season of marking time, of waiting for the next Ozawa or Levine. So who are the possible candidates? Two international figures who made 2012 Tanglewood debuts - the Latvian Andris Nelsons and the French Stéphane Denève - are probably on the list. Both are returning to Symphony Hall for a second season. Denève seemed to enjoy special rapport with the players during his appearances here.
The Italian Daniele Gatti, who has yet to appear at Tanglewood, is probably also getting a close look. He has three plum assignments coming up in Symphony Hall: the Verdi Requiem, an all-Wagner program and Mahler's Third Symphony. It will be a Verdi-Wagner year, marking the 200th anniversary of their birth.
Also impressive this year in his Tanglewood (and BSO) debut was Asher Fisch, an Israeli who got luminous playing from the BSO in the commemorative Wagner program. In other notable summer events, the four orchestral commissions (there were three others for student chamber ensembles) didn't allow for large-scale works, but Gunther Schuller's "Dreamscape," literally the product of a dream, and Michael Gandolfi's fast-paced "Night Train to Perugia" offered both substance and appeal.
The Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, which premiered the Schuller work, gave a succession of brilliant concerts. The final program, led by Frühbeck with Gil Shaham as soloist, was one of the summer's great events.
Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra enjoyed the excitement of youth combined with the ripeness of maturity. The midweek chamber and recital series yielded Gerald Finley's outstanding song recital (with pianist Julius Drake) and Gerhard Oppitz' four-concert cycle of Brahms' complete music for solo piano. Benjamin Bagby's dramatization of "The Rheingold Curse" was a bonus.
Koussevitzky was invoked in word and spirit seemingly at every turn. But Tanglewood today is not Koussevitzky's Tanglewood - not just in terms of season length (11 weeks versus 2), but also in the audience it seeks.
The biggest difference is the broader spectrum of programming now and the different audiences it attracts. Pop and Pops, including galas and Tanglewood on Parade, draw heavily; classical holds its own, and new music and jazz appeal to much smaller, mostly specialized constituencies.
Pop was alien to Koussevitzky's vision. New music was central to it.
Volpe said 2013 will be much like 2012 in design.
Again, the season will open with programs by the likes of James Taylor, Diana Krall and Garrison Keillor, who attracted huge audiences to launch 2012. Then come the eight central weeks of classical concerts, with a separate newmusic festival. In the current planning, a Labor Day weekend of popular attractions, like the ones that begin tonight, will follow.
The challenge to Tanglewood is to build and keep a classical audience as technology and the times dictate changing listening habits.
With luck, a new music director will take his or her place at the head of the table next year to preside over the process. That would be another occasion for celebration.

Saunders back in lineup, but not in leadoff
By Greg Johns / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right fielder Michael Saunders returned to the starting lineup Friday after being limited to a pair of pinch-hit appearances over the previous four games after hyperextending his left knee last Saturday.
"I'm good," Saunders said. "I'm ready to go."
But with rookie center fielder James Jones now entrenched in the leadoff positoin, Saunders was slotted into the No. 2 spot in the order for the first time this season by manager Lloyd McClendon.
Saunders led off 12 times earlier this season and has led off 40 times in his career, while batting second 39 times prior to Friday's series opener with the Twins. There's some benefit to batting behind the speedy Jones, he said, but only to an extent.
"I think the general consensus is you might see more fastballs [hitting second]," Saunders said. "I think it really depends on the pitcher. I believe that how pitchers have been getting you out is how you're going to get pitched. Their main concern is getting the guy out at the plate and however they feel comfortable doing that is how you're going to get pitched.
"Now that being said, a guy like Jones gets on first base and he's a threat to steal, you might see another fastball here or there. But I really feel like they're going to pitch to their strength and your weaknesses."
The guy hitting third, however, also plays into the equation. And Saunders smiled when it was mentioned that Robinson Cano was now directly behind him in the order.
"He might let you see some more fastballs," Saunders said. "They're not going to walk you with him behind you."
Leone proving versatile out of bullpen
MINNEAPOLIS -- Without an established long reliever in his bullpen mix, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon went to rookie right-hander Dominic Leone for a career-long 2 1/3 innings Wednesday after Brandon Maurer got in early trouble in a 2-0 loss to the Rays.
Leone responded with five strikeouts and just one hit in a scoreless outing and ranks second among all rookie relievers in the American League in strikeouts (21) and third in ERA (1.56). His 2 1/3 innings and five strikeouts were both season highs for any Seattle reliever.
McClendon certainly hasn't labeled Leone as a long man, having frequently used him in shorter and later-inning situations as well, but he recognizes the versatility and value of the 22-year-old from Clemson.
"He's proven that he can do that, if necessary," McClendon said of the longer role. "I don't have a problem using him in those situations. He pitched so well on the front end of that bullpen right now, bridging things for us, I would say low-impact type situations. He's a youngster and we have to be careful with him. But I've been very pleased with the way he's throwing the ball."
As a 16th-round selection in 2012, Leone is one of just two players selected in the 10th round or later from that Draft who has appeared in a Major League game, joined by Angels reliever Mike Morin (13th round).
Leone said he isn't concerned about not having a specific role, but just watches how games develop and starts getting geared up mentally and then stretching out when the situation dictates. He was a starter in college and understands the concept of conserving energy in longer outings, something that can come in handy if called early as he was when Maurer lasted just 3 2/3 innings Wednesday.
"When you get thrown in there in the fourth or fifth inning, you want to save the guys behind you and also be out there [as long as you can], especially if you're feeling good," he said. "That was the case the other day when I got out there in the fourth inning and I wanted to help bridge the gap to the later-inning guys so they can sit in their roles and not change what they're doing for that day. So it just depends on the situation."
Leone had one rough outing in Houston on May 4 when he gave up a Jonathan Villar home run as well as a single and walk to the three batters he faced, without recording an out, but has since thrown 4 2/3 scoreless innings with three hits, two walks and eight strikeouts in four outings.
"This is the big leagues," he said of the Houston hiccup. "I don't know many guys who are perfect throughout the entire season. That was a learning experience. They have a short porch out in left and a guy struck a ball and put it in that little corner of the seats and everything kind of unfolded after that. But it's a learning curve. You're going to have those ups and downs. It's how you come back from those downs that really determines who you are as a pitcher."
And Leone is rapidly proving to be an important one for the Mariners as he becomes more settled in his first season in the Majors.
"A little bit," he said of his increased comfort level. "I feel like I'm part of that bullpen and I obviously don't want to go anywhere. I want to cement my name in that 'pen and I'm constantly out there trying to prove that."
McClendon confident offense will heat up
MINNEAPOLIS -- As the Mariners hit the quarter point of their season, their 20-20 record belies an offense that ranks near the bottom of the American League in most offensive categories.
Going into Friday's series opener against the Twins, Seattle sits 12th among the 15 AL teams in runs per game, 14th in batting average (.232) and last in slugging percentage (.370) and on-base percentage (.294).
Their pitching has kept them competitive, ranking fourth in ERA (3.56) and opponent's batting average (.240).
After coming off back-to-back games against Rays starters David Price and Jake Odorizzi when they totaled just one run and eight hits, manager Lloyd McClendon insisted he wasn't concerned about the lack of offense.
"No. We've had our ups and downs and we've seen the bounceback out of it," McClendon said prior to Friday's game. "Unfortunately we've had a couple guys that were struggling that pitched their best games against us, Price and the other young man. We just have to move on and get ready for this series."
After working as the high-powered Tigers hitting instructor the prior seven seasons, McClendon said that club had its rough games as well.
"Everybody talks about the offense in Detroit," he said. "But it wasn't a push-button offense. They had ups and downs and struggles, too. Last year in Detroit we got shutout maybe five or six times. It happens. It happens to everybody. It's always personal when it happens to you.
"But we're going to be fine. This team will be fine. We'll hit. We're challenged a little offensively, but I believe when it heats up, bats heat up as well. I think we have some bats that will heat up. They're grinding it out and trying to get it done."
Nobody is comparing the Mariners offense to the Tigers, but McClendon said his club is better than it looked the last two games at Safeco Field.
"When you get two hits and get shutout, nothing looks good. That's just the way it is," he said. "We looked pretty darn good the other night when we scored [12] runs. You try not to over-analyze and blow things out of proportion. You continue to look at the big picture.
"Do we have shortcomings offensively? Of course we do. Do we have challenges? Yes we do. Can we win? Yes we can."
Worth noting
• Major League Baseball changed the scoring on Friday on two plays from an earlier Mariners game, affecting statistics for several players. A defensive play by Cano against the Yankees in New York that originally was charged as an error to Cano when shortstop Brad Miller didn't get to the bag to cover in time has now been ruled a hit, which raised Roenis Elias' ERA to 3.69.
And a Saunders' bunt in Oakland that previously had been ruled a fielder's choice and sacrifice was changed to a base hit, raising his average to .226 going into Friday's action.
• James Paxton will throw a two-inning simulated game prior to Saturday's contest at Target Field, his first time facing live hitters since straining his lat muscle on April 8. Taijuan Walker is slated for a bullpen session Saturday and then could progress to his first sim game Tuesday or Wednesday when the team travels to Texas.
• McClendon was sporting a new hat Friday after tossing his old one into the Safeco Field stands Wednesday after getting ejected by first-base umpire Lance Barksdale.
"My shoulder feels it a little today," McClendon said.
• Infielder Chris Taylor has been placed on the seven-day disabled list in Triple-A Tacoma after breaking his left little finger sliding into second base in a game earlier this week. Taylor was hitting .372 in his first 35 games while spliting time at shortstop and second base.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britons' mortgage repayments exceeded new borrowing during the third quarter of 2012, but by the smallest margin since early 2010, figures from the Bank of England showed on Monday.
The net injection of housing equity totalled 8.043 billion pounds in the third quarter, equivalent to 2.9 percent of post-tax income - down from 9.439 billion pounds in the second quarter and the lowest figure since Q1 2010.
Before the financial crisis, rapidly rising house prices enabled some British households to boost their spending by remortgaging their properties and withdrawing some of their increased housing wealth.
Since the financial crisis, which caused British house prices to fall by around a fifth, this has ceased to be an option.
"The further substantial net injection of housing equity in the third quarter of 2012 suggests that there is an ongoing strong desire ... of many people to improve their personal financial balance sheets given high debt levels and still serious concerns over the economic situation," said Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight.
However, the Bank has said net injections of housing equity mostly reflect a lower number of house purchases and new mortgages, rather than existing home-owners paying back their mortgages faster.
In August, the Bank opened its Funding for Lending Scheme, which aims to boost mortgage and business lending by offering banks and building societies cheap finance.
Mortgage approvals in Britain were 1.5 percent lower on the year in November, numbering 33,634, seasonally adjusted data from the British Bankers' Association showed last week.
A Reuters poll this month showed British homeowners will have to wait a long time before they recoup losses from the last few years on their properties as a weak economy and high unemployment keeps demand in check. The median forecast was for UK house prices to rise 0.6 percent in 2013, having dropped by the same amount this year.

After studying at Washington and Lee University (B.A., 1951) and Yale University (Ph.D., 1957), Wolfe wrote for several newspapers, including the Springfield Union in Massachusetts and The Washington Post. He later worked as an editor on such magazines as New York and Esquire (from 1977) and contributed both essays and illustrations to Harper's.
His first book, The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1964), is a collection of essays satirizing American trends and celebrities of the 1960s. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968) chronicles the psychedelic drug culture of the 1960s. His other nonfiction works include Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers (1970), The Painted Word (1975), From Bauhaus to Our House (1981), and The Worship of Art: Notes on the New God (1984). The Right Stuff (1979; filmed 1983), which examines aspects of the first U.S. astronaut program, was a best seller.
Motivated by a desire to revive social realism in literature—as he expressed in a much-discussed manifesto published in Harper's in 1989—Wolfe turned to fiction. His first two novels were The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987; filmed 1990), a sprawling novel about urban greed and corruption, and A Man in Full (1998), a colourful panoramic depiction of contemporary Atlanta. Wolfe's Hooking Up (2000) is a collection of fiction and essays, all previously published except for My Three Stooges, a scandalous diatribe about John Updike, Norman Mailer, and John Irving, who had all been critical of A Man in Full. Wolfe's third novel, I Am Charlotte Simmons (2004), examines modern-day student life at fictional Dupont University through the eyes of small-town protagonist Charlotte Simmons.
In 2010 Wolfe was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation.


text: Interesting plans here. I did something different to the strom I had also. Mecasystems fairing matched to the front end, custom sides to match, custom nav tower and mount, 7 inch custom rear shock, YZ USD front end with 9 inches of travel, spoked wheels front and back, re-mounted the oil cooler and therefore changed the exhaust routing, hence a different bash plate closer to the engine etc etc etc. Looked quite good, went well etc etc. But I will say this, its a strom, not meaning this kind of project won't work, its more a case of GS riders spend money because the bike cost a lot, KTM riders spend money for a simlar reason. DR/KLR riders tend to less as the bikes cost less and your not buying one of them because of the massive farkles. I mean by this costly farkles, OEM panniers, protection etc how often do you see a GS with OEM panniers etc vs one with no name home made cheapies. You'll do more DR/KLR mods because they are reliable etc. I think the strom is in the same league. So if this is going to work as a bolt on option the costs need to be pretty reasonable compared to the price of the bike. No doubt people are interested. In the end my costs could have easily covered a new 690 enduro or equivalent. Mine now has a 1050 tank and looks like a flat tracker, I think pretty cool, but I don't think I'd ever make money from any kind of bolt on kit. My thoughts, I'll watch with interest.

A minor-hockey coach could face a lifetime ban after he punched a 16-year-old player from the opposing team during a game in this city on the weekend.
Violence broke out with about 10 seconds left in the match between two midget teams on Saturday.
The referee's report, obtained by QMI Agency, said a player from the Chicoutimi Cougars tried to jump over the bench of the Jonquiere Pumas.
An assistant coach tried to grab the player in question, before holding onto the teen's stick.
That's when the Pumas head coach came over and punched him in the head, the report said.
The coach of the player who was punched said his rival crossed the line.
"We're talking about a man in his forties doing something like that to a 16-year-old," said Cougars head coach Eric Gagne. "For me raising your hand to a player of that age is wrong."
Things degenerated when a Pumas player fell after being pushed by a linesman. The official was immediately tackled by other Pumas players, one of whom grabbed the linesman by the head before slamming into the ice.
"The official's visor was attached to his helmet with metal screws but after the match he had it in his hands," said Gagne.
Both Pumas coaches could be suspended for making contact with a player, according to the regional hockey association's rules.
The players who left the bench and attacked the linesman could also receive sanctions.
So far police are not involved in the case.

Protecting Your Cables Over the years, I've used those hard rubber cable "tunnels" and found them acceptable, but a pain to store. They were always too long or too short and created a hump that everyone tripped over. Using tape to keep cables down is also a flawed solution. Gaffer's tape is too expensive, and doesn't stand up under heavy traffic, and duct tape leaves that annoying adhesive residue.
My solution is commercial entry mats. They combine industrial-strength carpeting on top with vinyl backing and edging. They come in several sizes and colors and will last decades. Because of the width, they provide a gradual "ramp" over any number of cable runs and are easily traversed by both foot and wheelchair traffic. The vinyl edge provides a great taping surface for securing the mats to the floor or to each other.
They are even useful in storage; I throw them in the back of my SUV to protect the cargo area. They can be found in hardware and office superstores, department and carpet stores, and if you are lucky, can also be purchased at closeout type stores for a bargain—$5 to $30, depending on size.
Ever try to pull cables only to have the connector get hung up on something? Then, to make the situation worse, you give it a yank and decapitate the cable? A simple fix that costs virtually nothing can prevent both problems from occurring ever again.
First step is to grab a bottle of water or a soft drink and take a break. Then, take the empty plastic bottle and remove the bottom with a utility knife (be careful not to remove a finger in the process). Then cut the bottle length-wise.(This may be easier with a pair of shears or HD scissors.)
Now, take your cables and place them in that lengthwise slit so that the connector is at the open bottom end. Now, when you pull your cable, the bottle automatically slides down to protect the connector(s) and prevents it from becoming caught up in any obstruction. This also provides other benefits like providing audio snakes protection in storage and keeping the connectors clean when dragging cables outdoors. Just make sure that you select the proper size for the number of connectors or cables.
Labeling Cables Labeling cables accurately is important both in the studio and the field. This helps speed connections and troubleshooting. Ever wonder why multi-line cables are color-coded? Labeling can be accomplished in many ways, but I like to do a combination of colors and numbers, with the numbers indicating the length of the cable.
Simple self-adhesive paper (a great use for all those old VHS tape labels) with permanent marker, protected with a layer of clear packing tape, is simple, effective, and long-lasting. Plus, it also helps in finding and identifying your own cables in those big shoots where you are not the only one running cables.
Grounding and Eliminating Hum I hope that everyone reading knows that you do not run AC-powered wires with audio or video cables. No matter how good your grounding is or how thick the shielding is, if you run any cable with AC power cords, you will pick up noise (hum). The longer the run, the more pickup will occur. This happens as a result of induction (being in close proximity) and can be eliminated or minimized by keeping as much distance between the two cables as possible and if they have to cross, do so at 90 degree angles. I will always try to find alternative sources of AC power so that I can bring it in from the opposite direction to prevent the parallel dilemma.
As for hum, there are a number of causes and just as many solutions. Most often hum comes from grounding issues and inductive pickup. The most common audio hum problem is created when the ends of the cable are grounded differently.
The misconception is that all electrical outlets are grounded with the same ground, but there can be several volts of difference between any two given electrical outlets. That equates to some pretty serious noise levels on tape. The simplest solution is to insert an isolation transformer in line with the cable. This device isolates (i.e., electrically separates) the signal from both devices and transmits it inductively.
These can be as simple and cheap as $15 from Radio Shack to several hundred for a stereo XLR unit. In some cases, a number of different XLR "black boxes" (direct boxes, in-line adapters, etc.) have what is termed a "ground lifter," the purpose of which is exactly that; an XLR cable consists of three main conductors—two signal lines and a common return. In most cases, the return is also the ground. This switch removes the return from the ground to create a "floating" signal not physically connected to the ground, thus eliminating the hum.
Another trick to eliminate hum if you are in an older building that does not use grounded (three-prong) outlets is simply flipping the plug in the outlet. If your equipment has a grounded plug, you will have to use one of those 3-prong to 2-prong adapters. But be careful; flipping the plug may increase the noise level because of the lack of a real ground.
Another way to eliminate ground-induced hum is to eliminate the cable! Creating a wireless audio link is very simple, provides a clean signal, and eliminates the actual running of the cable. My favorite method is to use an instrument transmitter, like the kind that musicians use for electric guitars. The input level is optimized for this use and is conveniently terminated with a 1/4" phone plug, to interface with the most common jack on almost all mixing boards. Common tie points are outputs or sends that can be adjusted independently of the main output.
Rapid-Fire Tips Do you (or one of your clients) have an older DVD player that is having problems playing 8X or 16X DVDs? Check with the manufacturer; they may have a firmware upgrade to resolve the issue, usually deliverable via a CD.
Tired of having your email addresses harvested by bots (those pesky programs that search websites to get email addresses)? By changing the text of your "contact" email addresses from one of the standard fonts to Unicode or by inserting a space between each character of the email address will prevent harvesting and possibly reduce your spam.
Do your clients know that you provide other services besides weddings or whatever your specialty is? Solve that problem and increase your income by creating a one-page "line card." List all of your services, in plain English (or whatever language best matches the client base you serve) on a handout and make sure that each client gets a copy when they pick up their project, receive their invoice, or contact you in any other way. This is especially good if you do tape-to-DVD conversions and photomontages.

3. Xenon/HID
4. 6 speed/SMG
6. "Premium" content (HomeLink/Lighted switches/soft touch plastic/moonroof/leather)
7. Side curtain and head airbags.
8. $22k (yeah, I'm wishing hard here)
9. Generally as reliable as "Honda"
VW Golf R32 comes close but some will say VW is not reliable. Any takers? Of course 17" rims and summer tires w/ 3 spoke steering wheel standard.

-RWD w/traction and stability control
-6 speed SMG (BMW style with automatic modes, in case I don't feel like shifting)
-Full set of airbags
-front and rear sunroof (maybe SCION CCX style?)
-cabin-adjustable suspension (throw a switch to go from soft ride to sport handling)
-Interior like a VW Polo (the latest one HAS to have the best interior I've ever seen pics of, even if they aren't yet available in the US)
-MP3 player
-alarm system (kinda necessary)
-gauge cluser mounted ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL!! (I hate center-stack pods)
-4 cyl engine for fuel efficiency, but force feed the sucker, or let BMW make it, or both (no 9000 RPM VVTI-L headache-inducers)
-Have it ACTUALLY ABLE TO CARRY CARGO!! After all, if the GTI, Civic Si, and MINI can do it....
No leather, no HomeLink, and the necessity of AWD is kinda iffy. Lighted switches would be nice, but not critical.
huntzinger Posts: 356What I'd be happy with would be essentially a modernization of the pre-1990 Audi Coupe GT or VW Quantum Hatchback, with a few additional tweeks here or there. A modern equivalent would probably be the 2002 Audi S3 or BMW 325ti (Europe only hatchbacks), with the following elements of emphasis.
1. Add ~15" to the length. Europe may need stubby little urban cars, but for the USA, we need to make sure that the car has a solid amount of rear seat legroom (and roofline) to make its back seat actually usable by adults, as well as a healthy trunk. For the latter, I'd say making as deep as a VW Sirocco 2 (production years 1983-1988) and 20 cubic feet should be the target value...this will be roughly an 8-12" increase.
2. Make sure the engine's not an embarrassment. The horsepower level's not usually the problem, but the lack of low end torque was the mistake made by BMW with their 1995-98 318ti. Figure this to mean dropping in at least a 328i motor.
3. While we're working on the motor, let's check the compression so that it doesn't have to run on Premium. Afterall, a hatch is philosophically supposed to retain some level of day to day practicality. Similarly, it should be reasonably be expected to break 30mpg on the highway through the appropriate top gear selection.
4. For poor weather driving, AWD isn't an absolute necessity, so long as it has a posi-rear differential included in its standard equipment. Let me emphasise that electronic "Traction Control" is not a satisfactory alternative to a real differential.
5. All of the modern electronic gizmo's and basic luxury items - - but let's include dashboard override switches for the gizmo's too, for those occasions when we know that we're better off without them, or when Club Racing rules require them to not be used in competition.
6. Finally, hatchback practicality also include the pragmatics of value. So it needs to be delivered at a reasonable price. Based on a basic template of the MB C230K and BMW Ti, this car should retail out at around ~$30K and be easily recognized as having sufficient content to be worth that much.
It would suck if it did. This is a place where we can really be creative about the cars we'd like to drive. And one never knows if a car company might be watching...
orangelebaron Posts: 435This may be a multiple post after what I stated in Mazda 6 hatchback.
It should be the size of a Saab 9-3.
Must have all the Euro-standard safety features such as:
Folding side mirrors (heated of course)
Repeat turn signals for added lane change safety.
Real rear seat head rests.
Active front head restraints.
Super comfortable seats that will hold me in place
in 60 mph off ramps.
6 speed gearbox
High fuel economy with either a hybrid or diesel powerplant that also has a nice amount of torque.
Front passenger seat should fold flat for that maybe chance I will transport a ladder or shelves.
It should have sleek styling and come in a distinctive color such as copper, yellow gold or ice green
Lots of cubbies and arm rests made of vinyl...NOT cloth!
Lights on insides of doors
Full size spare
Sequential, fiber optic taillights
large roof panel that slides open
8 mph bumpers that have the color in them... so they don't scratch
OK... plastic body panels too
Reliable and and easy to fix
under $25000
I can dream... can't I?

I will base my "ultimate" hatchback on Toyota Matrix, because it is the closest to my understanding of properly designed car.
1. Driver-oriented pilot-style dashboard with soft plastic (not just soft-look!) Take current BMW, SAAB or Volvo as an example. And do not say it is outdated.
2. No faux anything. Especially faux carbon, aluminum or crome. No real crome, too. I can take either anodized aluminum (real!) or titanium (absolutely unnecessary inside cabin). No flashy stuff. No shiny Pontiac-style gauges. Should be simple, classy and modest.
3. FWD and AWD versions.
4. Any engine with any gearbox and any trim level. No stupid compulsory plastic stuff all around only because it is sporty. No only auto because it is AWD.
5. Drop old-fashioned autobox. Either manual or CVT. If tight on money, then CVT only with manual mode (real one, so "3" means third gear only, not 1,2 or 3)
6. Easy to fold-flat trunk with durable plastic lining. See Matrix -- the best trunk ever. I want to change nothing. But I do not care much about separately opened rear window.
7. Full-size spare for those who would like one, or slim-size for city guys.
8. Availability of: black/gray non-painted scratch-resistant bumpers, non-painted door handles, mirrors. No crome outside. For _any_ trim. I want to be able to get the most powerful sporty version with big wheels and black bumpers. Why not?
9. Rear sprinkler is a must! Along with wiper.
10. Headlight adjusters (like in Europe) is a must.
11. Xenon option.
12. Side blinkers on fenders.
13. No ugly separate side markers (see Protege5 or even Impreza, ugh!)
14. Powerful inline 4. I do not live V engines, they are complex and heavy. So, 2.0 to 2.3 would be a nice range. Also, smaller displacement engine must have VTEC/VVTi version for fighter pilots with wider usable range, say from 5000 to 8500. Diesel also should be included. So far, 4 engines: 2.0 (maybe GDI) "economy", 2.0 (VTEC) "sportivo", 2.3 (long stroke) "torquey" and 2.x turbo diesel "ultra-frugal".
15. ABS probably should be a must, but Traction Control or ESP do not. All electronic helpers should be able to be turned off -- except ABS.
16. 5-door version is a must and should have all the amenities as 3-door. Ford SVT is a good example.
17. Should have at least (at least!!!) 30mpg in city and 35-38mpg on highway.
18. And the biggest thing: modern production site, so anyone can really build a car for his own taste, using the common parts bin. And more colors.
19. Ability to have wiring only for stereo, or wiring and speakers (without head unit).
It's too soon to be archiving this discussion. ;-)
Hatchbacks & Wagons Boards
Unfortunately, my heart isn't in it....seems like no one in Europe wants to import a decently priced hatch here, and the Japanese seem to be giving up on hatches here.
The fact that we're not going to be getting the true BMW 1-series cars or the new VW Golfs is a bit of a blow.
Not Mazda, apparently.
oh, yeah, and not Honda.
uh... and not Toyota...
what japanese manufacturers are we talking about?
'17 F150 Crew 2.7; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '09 LR2 HSE. 44-car history and counting!
Honda. No standard Civic or Accord hatch..the only hatch they sell here is the Civic Si. It's EXTREMELY niche.
Toyota, no Camry hatch. THEIR only hatch is the torqueless Matrix, which is pushing wagon territory. If only Pontiac would shove an Ecotec down the throat of the Vibe version....
Nissan, no hatches whatsoever.
Mazda and Mitsubishi are the only ones coming with hatches (Mitsu's Lancer sportback and the Mazda line) so they're the only odd ducks (Suzuki's an odd duck too, but the Aerio is odd anyway...heh). Mazda's 6 series hatch has yet to appear though...besides, there isn't a Mazda dealer within 100 miles of me.
The Mitsu might be interesting...Lancer is a nice platform. But I'd like to have a hatch with the quality of a Honda or Nissan.
But Honda does have a hatch regardless. The only thing that really keeps it from being a big seller is the lack of automatic.
The Toyota I was actually referring to is the Prius hatch.
'17 F150 Crew 2.7; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '09 LR2 HSE. 44-car history and counting!
In YOUR opinion the only thing that keeps it from being a big seller is the lack of an automatic. That certainly hurts it, but there's the other fact that it's one of the more expensive Civic models, and is intended only to fill their "hot hatch" niche, and not intended to be a big seller or a normal model at all. Remember, Honda wants hatch/wagon shoppers to go buy the CR-V.
I'll give ya the Prius, even though that's kind of a niche vehicle too. But at least they designed it as a hatch, and not a sedan. It's still a little expensive, but where I wouldn't even have bothered looking at the old Prius, the new one is somewhat interesting.
of course its my opinion and a total theory since it doesn't exist in that form.
Oh, so you're looking for a CHEAP hatch? There is always the Hyundai Accent.
'17 F150 Crew 2.7; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '09 LR2 HSE. 44-car history and counting!
Well, I think under $20k is reasonable for a decent car. Problem is, most car companies don't seem to agree, not with all the "Great deal at only $30k!" commercials that have been on lately...heh.
Accent's getting replaced soon, from what I understand...next couple of years or so. My mother has one....it handles pretty nice, but the engine runs out of breath after about 45 MPH or so, it seems. A little more horsepower, and the power/weight ratio would be pretty good. That and the pitiful armrest were my only problems with it...it's not a bad design.
interesting to hear some positive comments on the Accent. I never drove one but just assumed it would be a powerless tin can. Nice to hear that $10K might still actually buy something livable these days.
of course, i'd go used market and only spend a few grand on one with low miles, but that's another story.
'17 F150 Crew 2.7; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '09 LR2 HSE. 44-car history and counting!
Actually, that's why Hyundai resale value is so low...if you buy one used, you don't get that 100k powertrain warranty.
I still keep thinking an Accent with the 2.0 Beta engine would make a heck of a pocket rocket...assuming that engine would FIT under the hood. And some ABS would be nice, though it's not critical.
I was surprised myself...I had to drive it when my car was in the shop for a couple days. As far as handling goes, I was preasantly surprised. Handling seemed pretty tight, and it seemed to have enough low-end grunt (though I was in the car by myself, so who knows what happens when you put something else in the car). And if you'd like another little shock, I was driving one with a slushbox.
bullmand Posts: 2Ladies and gentlemen,
I have created a petition that I intend to send to BMW of North America. I am attempting to get them to understand that there is a market for hatchback, 4 cylinder, and diesel BMWs here in North America. Please sign it if you would like to see a larger variety of BMW models available here. Please encourage friends and family to sign it also.
Thank you,
David Bullman

I don't ask for too much, eh?
Modern European diesels do not take american high-sulphur diesel fuel.
Put 2.0 into Matrix, and it will be the best "short hatchback" ever. Well, Mazda3 seems promising. Mazda6 will be the only "long hatchback" now, when Saab gave up hatchbacks. Mazda also has Miata (though aging) and RX8. Zoom-zoom
Saab has been showing a new 9-3 hatchback/wagon design and rumors are it will be built.

lawman1967 Posts: 314Well I really like the Mercedes C230 Sport Coupe, but that is out of my price range.
I just bought a 2003 Mazda Protege DX (base) sedan, and would definitely have bought a hatchback had one been available. Just as the Protege is two generations evolution of the 1990-1994 Protege and the 3 is another generation still, I would have loved a 1999-2003 323, improved along the same lines as the sedan.
The Mazda 3 is nice, but the hatchbacks are all loaded 5 doors with all the luxo-stuff and the big engine. What I would like is a two door hatchback version with the smaller 2.0 liter, big enough tires and a firm suspension, at a price of about $13000 with AC.
jchan2 Posts: 4,956I want.....
5 door configuration
leather seats
Bluetooth/Smart Start/Navigation System/ Power Sunroof
Automatic Climate Control
Power Liftgate
Alloy Wheels
Decent Warranty
All for $26K (wishful)
The Toyota Prius comes close, but I want factory leather and that Power Liftgate. I'll compromise though and I'm thinking whether to line up at the dealer and give them my order.To keep prices affordable, maybe I'll need to not order a few items listed.
conall West TexasPosts: 91How about the Lancia Delta Integrale!? Not exactly a great passenger car, but definitely one of the ultimate hatchbacks. Unfortunately not sold in the U.S. Last model was a '94. Rival to the Audi Quattro after '85, it owes its existence to the competition Audi brought to offroad rallye racing.
tom_slick Posts: 9Something like a Scion xA (i.e. well-equipped, stylish, cheap), but with a 2.0 liter engine and about a foot longer (for a bigger trunk) would be about perfect. And oh yeah, cruise control.
Matrix would almost be it if the base model was equippped like the Scion, had a better engine than the 1.8, and got rid of the 'funky' dashboard/controls. Ew.
If you could have made my old saab 900 turbo move like my 328i, you'd be doing pretty good.
Toss in bmw's 3.0L diesel and you're doing REALLY good. You could do donuts while burning soybean oil.
Of course, looking just now i spy the c320 sport coupe. It doesn't look too bad. The 20/26 mpg though, is not that great.
drdarylj Posts: 9My ulitmate hatch is as follows:
(whisper this just loudly enough so that Mike Mauer [spelling??] at Saab hears this). "I want a 3-door version of the Saab 9-3x SportHatch."
3-doors 'cause I'm big and need a long side door.
4-wheel drive.
Plenty of low end torque/high end pep.
Ergonomic interior to rival any Honda product.
Subwoofer standard....yes I'm an audiophile.
Soft-touch leather.
No shiny,plasticky dashboard.
Standard cooler in the back
6-speed stick
Sport suspension/wheels/all-season tyres.
Durable as can be.
Glance'n'go dash/instrument center stack.
In other words, a thoroughly modern Volvo P1800 with all the Swedish blessings mixed with the best Japan offers and sold to this American. I love to drive; I love to look good; and sometimes I have to haul stuff. And no, I don't want an SUV, pickup, or another minivan. 90% of my time in it would be commuting, 5% hauling, and 5% playing.
If anyone is up to the task, it's Saab.
But, that is just a pipe dream. But that's what this thread is, isn't it?? :-)))

The 9-3 sporthatch looks REALLY cool. 250hp, 260lb-ft. 15% better fuel economy. Glass roof, integrated bike carrier. I worry about the expense of all those bells and whistles i don't need ( like a DVD player, camcorder, and hydraulic rear gate ). But it looks good.
A mercedes sport copue with their diesel v6 wouldn't be bad either.
what is the 9-3 sporthatch? where can i read about this?
'17 F150 Crew 2.7; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '09 LR2 HSE. 44-car history and counting!

the proper thumb drive to purchase
the proper thumb drive to purchase
Just picked up one of these a few days ago to start loading up the "Tesla Jams." Amazingly small.
So the thumb drive I have been using is this - https://automaticaweb.com/ Could not be happier. It syncs with my dropbox account over wifi. So all I need to do is add music to a dropbox folder from anywhere and it automagically shows up in my car. Also have subscribed to several podcasts that it pulls in when I am in my garage and within wifi range. Finally, I added a 32GB micro SD card as well into it so I have a lot more capacity. If you have wifi in your garage and are looking for a system which automatically syncs with your music collection - this is a great option.
Nice. I'm hoping that capability is added to the Model S when WiFi is enabled. Seems like it would be fairly easy to implement, especially since your example shows a $99 product doing it.
My digital music is all in apple lossless format... Will these songs play from a thumbdrive on the Tesla???
I went with the Sandisk Cruzer as well. You can't even tell it's there it's so small. My problem is I've got over 32GB of music so I need to trim down my library for the car! B-)
I'm not familiar with this feature Can I put my itunes in there using a thumb drive? Is there a site that shows how to do this?
I picked up the identical thumb drive as linked, except I got it at Best Buy. Once I loaded my music and plugged it in, it barely stick up above the plane of the USB panel, but enough to remove if needed.
I think it is the perfect physical size. Go for it.
32 gb was too small for me. Even in only variable bit rate MP3 my music library is over 50 GB. I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009OU5O0S/
Looks neat and barely noticeable plugged in.
You may need to select, or change to, a compatible music format before you save to the thumb drive. I think itunes can rip to at least two of the formats listed in the Model S Audio Specifications, AAC or MP3.
Here is a site that discusses audio formats.
Here is a thread at TMC where they go into detail about testing the playability of different types of music formats:
I use 2 small 32GB micro USB drives from Staples. I have the upgraded sound system and initially did not like the sound quality. Discovered that the quality of music format makes a big difference. High quality MP3 (uses more drive space) or a lossless format (I redid everything as AAC) sounds a lot better. Still waiting for activation of the the built in digital storage that supposedly exists somewhere in the car.
Check out this thumb drive on TMC as an implementation:

Each week, The Guest List, sits down with a musician, celebrity or band and asks them to list their greatest influences, career highlights and favorite hits. Come back each Thursday for a fresh interview with the hottest stars.
After listening to only a few songs off of Volume 2 from the actress-turned-musician [lastfm]Zooey Deschanel[/lastfm] and indie folkie [lastfm]M. Ward[/lastfm] (both of whom make music under [lastfm]She & Him[/lastfm]), you'll forget you're listening to a movie star and will be swept away by timeless, alt-country meets indie-pop harmonies.
When we had the chance to catch up with the rising music star, we had to ask her to share her top ten favorite songs of all time. And, as an extra bonus, we have a free MP3 of "In The Sun" to give away just for you.
1. [lastfm]Michael Nesmith[/lastfm] – "Joanne"
"This song has such an incredibly beautiful melody! Michael Nesmith is a great song writer, and very underrated. His records are fantastic."
2. [lastfm]The Passions[/lastfm]/[lastfm]Beach Boys [/lastfm]- "All This Is That"
"I love this song from Carl Wilson's record. Great harmonies."
3. [lastfm]Dusty Springfield [/lastfm]- "Let Me Down Easy"
Dusty Springfield's voice is as great as they come. This is a lesser known song from her London days."
4. [lastfm]The Louvin Brothers[/lastfm] – "My Baby's Gone"
"The Louvin Brothers are geniuses! Like the [lastfm]Everly Brothers[/lastfm] they are masters of 2 part harmony, but lesser known. It's definitely worth buying all of their records."
5. [lastfm]The Free Design[/lastfm] – "I Found Love"
"Free design is a group of siblings who made some of the first easy listening music in the late sixties early seventies, produced by [lastfm]Enoch Light[/lastfm] they sing beautifully together, in a child-like and wonderous way."
6. [lastfm]The Zombies[/lastfm] – "Whenever You're Ready"
"Zombies, one of my favorite bands of all time. This song is a classic. [lastfm]Colin Blunston[/lastfm]e is an exceptional vocalist. There is no group like the Zombies."
7. [lastfm]Gene Clark[/lastfm] – "No Other"
"He left the [lastfm]Byrds[/lastfm] because he was afraid of flying. Gene Clark had a very interesting solo career with many great records. This is the title track of the very unique and haunting record No Other.
8. [lastfm]Jim Croce[/lastfm] – "Operator"
"I love Jim Croce. He had such an expressive voice, and was a fantastic song writer."
9. [lastfm]Billy Joel[/lastfm] – "Allentown"
"This song has such an uplifting melody but such dark subject matter: My favorite combination. One of Billy Joel's finest!"
10. [lastfm]Ella Fitzgerald[/lastfm] – "I'm Making Believe"
"This song puts me to sleep in the best way. I love all of Ella Fitzgerald's duets with the ink spots but this is a favorite."
Free MP3: Download "In the Sun" by She & Him
All this reading about vintage music got us thinking of recent songs we've seen Zooey cover. Check out our favorite three.
"Dream A Little Dream of Me" by the [lastfm]Mamas and the Papas[/lastfm]
"Sugar Town by [lastfm]Nancy Sinatra[/lastfm]
"Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" -[lastfm]The Smiths[/lastfm]

I was wondering if anyone else has problems with ZoneAlarm (latest version of the free program) and iTunes 7. Since I upgraded to iTunes 7 I have been experiencing stuttering or skipping music playback issues. This was ameliorated slightly with the upgrade to version 220.127.116.11, but I still was getting problems when anything CPU-intensive was going on.
Then I read an Apple support article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538 suggesting playing with msconfig and its selective startup facility to identify conflicting programs. When I did so (by adding in programs one by one) I discovered that the playback issues appeared to be resolved when I prevented ZoneAlarm loading. There appears to be no other issues with ZoneAlarm (i.e. it doesn't prevent iTunes accessing the internet).
So, has anyone else come across this issue?
Operating System:Windows XP Pro
Product Name:ZoneAlarm (Free)

Wang says he's open to working out of 'pen
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
While the Nationals have not told him what his role would be once he returns to the big leagues, Wang said he is willing to work out of the bullpen as long as the team gives him advance warning so he could prepare. Wang has worked out of the bullpen five times during his career, all coming with the Yankees.
"I would like to try it, and I would like to help," Wang said.
Wang was slated to be Washington's fifth starter, but started this season on the disabled list because of a strained left hamstring. Since then, left-hander Ross Detwiler became the fifth starter and is doing a great job, going 3-2 with a 2.75 ERA in seven starts.
Manager Davey Johnson wouldn't say what role Wang would play, only saying that he considers Wang a starter.
"I look at him as a quality starter," Johnson said.
Ramos vows to return healthy next season
WASHINGTON -- Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos spoke to the media at Nationals Park on Wednesday. It marked the first time he had spoken publicly since he tore his right ACL going after a passed ball against the Reds this past Saturday.
Ramos said he is out for the rest of the season and hopes to have surgery in two to three weeks, once the swelling in his knee goes down.
The last seven months have not been kind to Ramos. Last November, Ramos was kidnapped in his native Venezuela. Ramos, who was playing for Tigres de Aragua in Venezuela's winter league, was taken from his home in Santa Ines by four armed gunmen.
On Saturday, Ramos suffered the knee injury in the seventh inning as he chased after a ball that had ricocheted off his glove on a pitch from Jordan Zimmermann.
"It was very, very bad for me. I feel down," Ramos said. "I will have a good rehab. After that, I'm going to come back and play. ... I will not come back for this season, but I will be good for next season."
Ramos plans to recover in the D.C. area and hopes to have his parents take care of him. He said he does not want to go back to Venezuela to recover from his knee injury.
Ramos wasn't the only catcher on the Nationals who suffered an injury. Two days after Ramos went down, Sandy Leon sustained a high right ankle sprain and was placed on the 15-day DL.
The Padres had runners on second and third with one out, when Orlando Hudson singled to center field. Yonder Alonso scored easily, but Chase Headley barreled into Leon and scored the third run of the game for San Diego.
"I felt bad for him," Ramos said about Leon.
Storen throws without feeling any pain
WASHINGTON -- Nationals closer Drew Storen, who is on the disabled list after a procedure to remove a bone chip in his right elbow, made 100 throws on flat ground on Wednesday at Nationals Park without feeling any pain.
Storen will have the day off on Thursday and throw again on flat ground on Friday. It's not known when Storen will start throwing off the mound, but he is still projected to play his first Major League game after the All-Star break.
"[The arm] feels different, but it's where it should be," Storen said. "It's going to take time to get back."

Beijing fines 652 firms for pollution in four months
Send a link to a friend
[May 05, 2014]
(Reuters) — Authorities in
the Chinese capital fined 652 industrial facilities for breaching
environmental regulations in the first four months of the year as it
stepped up efforts to fight pollution.
Beijing's air quality has come under intense
scrutiny since January last year, when heavy smog settled over the
city to the alarm of its residents.
Premier Li Keqiang in March promised a "war on pollution" as the
country seeks to stem public anger over premature deaths while
weaning the economy off over-dependence on energy-guzzling heavy
Beijing's Environmental Protection Bureau handed out fines totalling
14.5 million yuan ($2.3 million) over the first four months of the
year, it told state media on Sunday.
"The amount is twice as high as for the same period last year," said
Zhong Chonglei, chief officer at the Bureau's supervision
China has introduced a range of policies and plans to solve
environmental problems but it has long struggled to bring big
polluting industries and growth-obsessed local governments to heel.
In March, Beijing for the first time took charge of supervising its
pollution levels. The city can hand out fines of up to 500,000 yuan
and can impose additional daily fines on wrong-doers who don't pay
up on time.
[to top of second column]
Three-quarters of the fines handed out were for air pollution.
The Beijing Yueju Heating Company received the biggest fine of
200,000 yuan for manipulating emissions data for one of its
coal-fired boilers.

>Cross Training>$63 a month gym pass to use the elliptical ?
- Anya
Princess Cancer Pants
• Recover from 2017
• Surgery in March
• Continue showing Cancer that it's not welcome back. Ever.
• Rebuild to racing and big running & biking miles in 2019
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.
~ Sarah Kay
You can buy your own a hell of a lot cheaper than $63 per month
However, I have no experience on one...The couple times I have tried it just felt weird..
A Saucy Wench
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
MAke them give you a trial membership. Almost any club will do 5 days or 1 week or sometimes as much as 2 weeks free or for a very low cost (mine does 5 VISITS ). Try before you buy. I can do the "cross trainers" but not the old fashioned "elliptical" although in many gyms the two are both called elliptical. Ellipticals hurt my knees but the Xtrainer feels very natural to me. I think there is a shorter stride length on Xtrainers
Oh, the $63 a month, is high, totally. But, I don't have to sign a contract. If I signed for a normal contact , it would be $34 a month. I HATE gyms, and only plan to do it until the knee heals... if I do it at all.
www.planetfitness.com $10 or $20/month options
Jazz hands!
Check out planetfitness.com - that's the gym I use and it's only $10 a month.

The Southwest Times Record reported Jack Woodrow James, 52, was found not guilty Thursday by a Sebastian County jury.
Several boys testified that James acted inappropriately toward them when he was a teacher. James denied the allegations and testified that students often went to him with personal problems.
Defense attorney Michael Harry said James was too lenient with his students — but committed no crime.
James retired as a social studies and history teacher in May 2012 after the complaints were given to local law enforcement. He was elected in 2010 as Lavaca city alderman and was unopposed in November for re- election.

U.C. Berkeley professor investigates corporate America's environmental record
During the past decade, a significant number of multinational companies have taken steps to put environmental policies in place. From BP's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases to Home Depot's decision to phase out old-growth timber, some corporations have made substantial progress. In his new book, "The Market for Virtue," author David Vogel explains some of the forces driving these companies to change, including pressure from shareholders and environmental groups. Vogel, a professor at the University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business, also describes how some corporate environmental efforts have gone awry, and why firms need to make more progress in developing nations.

At some point in the recent past, they were on the trail to the highpoint, going to the bathroom. Maybe the trail is where they go to use the bathroom? This was my 14th highpoint.

Sanchez killed us on some of these losses. He's lucky he's a rookie...
Sly, Let me tell you something.. Mark Sanchez is going to be the real deal. Be patient with this kid, Dont be like all of the other Giants fan's who started booing Eli Manning early on in the 07 Season. The kid has incredible poise, with unbelievable upside. Stay positive... Trust me when I say you guys will be a contender next year.
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
This last game sanchez was more conservative due in part to ryan's help on offense. Less mistakes made it easy for the Jets to come out with a win.
Darrelle Revis is unbelievable!!! Smith--> 1 catch, 5 yards.
Revis had more INT's (2) than smith had catches (1)
2 game win streak for the JETS. We get tampa (1-10) two sundays from now.
"Masterlock" Revis smothered T.O. all game long. WTF happened to sanchez??? I'm hearing he got injured on the dive but I didn't see it that way. It was on the hand off to the HB that he tweaked his leg.
What's the chances we sneak in and make the playoffs? Please! I think we can suprise many in teh postseason should we get there. We looked great today albeit against a horrendously bad Tampa Bay team with a rookie quarterback and an offensive line that was like a house of cards. How good is Revis???? Wow!
Please bring back the NYK intro from the 1994 Finals...PLEASE!!!!
YESS! Jets baby. Biggest win of the season.
We need to beat Cincy to clinch a playoff spot.
J!-e!-t!-s! Jets! Jets! Jets!
