Vehicle Overview After nine years in production, GMC has finally given its midsize SUV a full redesign. The 2017 GMC Acadia is quite a bit smaller than its predecessor, but what it loses in size, it makes up for with improvements elsewhere. Compared to the last Acadia, the 2017 model is 7.2 inches shorter in overall length, 3.5 inches narrower and 6.6 inches shorter in height. These changes translate to a reduction in passenger and cargo space, but it still remains competitive with other midsize SUVs.
The 2017 Acadia is also some 700 pounds lighter, which improves fuel economy. With the smaller footprint and weight reduction, it's easier to maneuver and corners with added confidence. A V6 engine is still available, along with a new base four-cylinder engine for maximum efficiency.
Also new for 2017 is an All-Terrain model. Contrary to its name, it is limited to light off-roading. It also does away with the third row of seats for added cargo capacity.
With all of the changes and improvements, the 2017 GMC Acadia is once again competitive in a field of strong SUVs. We consider the Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Highlander as class leaders, with the Acadia having the potential to break into this club.
Performance and MPG The 2017 GMC Acadia's base engine for SL, SLE and SLT1 trims is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 194 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is the only available transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard for all Acadia models, while all-wheel drive is available on all but the base SL trim. The EPA estimates fuel economy for this engine at 23 mpg combined (21 city/26 highway) with front-wheel drive and 23 mpg combined (21 city/25 highway) with all-wheel drive.
A 3.6-liter V6 that makes 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque is available on SLE2 and SLT1 trims and standard on higher trims (mandatory with AWD for SLT2 and Denali). This engine benefits from automatic cylinder deactivation that conserves fuel by shutting down some cylinders when cruising on the highway. Fuel economy is estimated at 21 mpg combined (18/25) with front-wheel drive and 20 mpg combined (18/25) with AWD.
Properly equipped, the V6-powered Acadia can tow up to 4,000 pounds.
Safety Standard safety features for all 2017 GMC Acadias include antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, an inboard airbag for the driver, OnStar emergency telematics and a system that reminds the driver to check the backseats for passengers before leaving.
The Driver Alert package I is available on the SLE2 trim and standard on the SLT1 and includes a blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alerts and rear parking sensors. The Driver Alert package II is standard on SLT2 and Denali trims and includes the Driver Alert I features along with lane keep assist, low-speed frontal collision mitigation, automatic high beams, front parking sensors and a safety alert driver seat that buzzes when alerts are triggered.
Additional Information The 2017 GMC Acadia represents something of an anomaly in the automotive world. Usually when a vehicle is redesigned it becomes bigger and heavier than it was before. Yet after being produced for nearly a decade, the previous generation of the Acadia has given way to a lighter and trimmer version for 2017. Measuring 7.2 inches shorter in length, 6.6 inches shorter in height and 3.5 inches narrower in width, the latest Acadia loses some passenger and cargo space but makes notable gains in overall maneuverability and parking ease. Dropping a whopping 700 pounds in curb weight also benefits the midsize crossover SUV, improving both fuel economy and handling.
Although the cabin may not be as voluminous as before, there is still plenty of room in the first and second row seats. The third row, however, is best left for the little ones. Depending on trim level, the 2017 GMC Acadia can seat anywhere from 5 to 7 people. Those trim levels range from the base SL to the plush Denali, with the SLE and SLT filling in between them. Fitted with quality materials, the Acadia's interior has both a pleasing design and sound ergonomics. The infotainment system is easy to use thanks to its large virtual buttons and simple graphics.
Even the entry-level SL comes standard with plenty of family friendly features, including built-in Wi-Fi, triple-zone climate control and a rearview camera. Perks of the high-end Denali include xenon headlights, a hands-free power liftgate and heated/ventilated front seats. An All-Terrain package which features hill descent control and a more advanced all-wheel-drive system, is available on certain trims. Despite that moniker, however, an Acadia so-equipped is still limited to lighter duty off-road work.
A four-cylinder engine with 194 horsepower serves as the base power plant which, along with that big weight loss, optimizes fuel economy. Performance is adequate, though under hard acceleration (such as when merging or passing) it can sound and feel strained. Those who plan on regularly filling the seats, carrying heavy loads or towing anything should consider the uplevel 310-horsepower V6. Front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) are both available. Fuel economy is respectable with EPA estimates ranging from 20 mpg combined (18 city/25 highway) for the V6 with AWD up to 23 mpg combined (21 city/26 highway) with the four cylinder and FWD.
Given how much improved the Acadia is this year, it may factor into your short list of midsize crossover SUV choices. If so, Edmunds is ready to help you find the 2017 GMC Acadia that's just right for you and your family.��

Review Leasing a 2017 GMC Acadia Denali. Have had it for a month, and for me, l love the new size (Similar footprint to a Pilot, Highlander). GM really has infoitainment down. It is dead simple to use, the combination of touch screen and hard buttons is intuitive, and terrific to use. Also has both Apple Car Play and Android Auto. The safety features all work as promised. I looked at most of the competition (Pilot, Highlander, Explorer, XC90, MDX, Pathfinder), and the combination of near luxury feel, great in car technology and the new styling just for me put it ahead of the competition. I really liked the XC90, but was hesistant to get into a first year Volvo model, and the large touch screen I thought was not as intuitive as advertised. This is my first American car in 30+ years (Coming out of an 08 MDX), and have to say the Acadia Denali is a great alternative to the mass Asian/Koreans, and the near lux competitors. If you still need the larger size, GMC is selling the previous body style as the Acadia Limited, and you can still opt for the Traverse/Enclave. Areas of improvement would be more exterior colors, and the use of real wood versus the fake veneers. I also would have preferred more interior leather colors, but I guess GM needs to maintain separation between GMC and Cadillac.

Installed a new set of Touratech crash bars last year. Recently went down at 5+ mph when front tire hit sand on very gnarly gravel/paved road. The bottom left side of the crashbar is pushed up against the 2nd spark plug and the whole left side is torqued back a bit. Really surprised that they bent so much. Was wondering if anyone has done anything to repair bars by straightening (is that possible?) or just replaced them or feel that hey, no problem - leave em alone. They seem real close to the left cylinder head now and I am worried that in a future spill that they will contact the cylinder head dramatically. Are these only so so bars and are there better ones? Thx for any input!

For 26-year-olds, 27 outs are no problem
Braden among pitchers at their best in their mid-20s
By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com
It represents the number of outs a pitcher needs to complete a game. The mid-20s are the golden years for players. And on Sunday, Oakland's Dallas Braden hit his prime.
The 26-year-old unleashed the 19th perfect game in Major League history in Oakland's 4-0 win over the Rays at the Oakland Coliseum. Earlier this season, Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez, 26, threw a no-hitter against Atlanta. Jonathan Sanchez was also 26 when he threw a no-hitter for the Giants last season.
In 2002, Florida's Anibal Sanchez was a little younger, when he threw a no-hitter at 22.
When it comes to historical games, these young men prove that age is not just a number. It might be the number that counts the most.
In the eight no-hitters in the American League since Hideo Nomo, then 32, tossed a no-no for Boston against Baltimore in 2001, the average age for pitchers who accomplished the feat is 26.8. Excluding Chicago White Sox star Mark Buehrle, who threw a perfect game at the ripe old age of 30 last season, the average age for the last five no-hitters in the AL is 25.
Including Braden, the average age for the last six perfect games is 33.
Who loved the 1990s? It was the era of Bill Clinton, the Spice Girls, "Seinfeld," and men throwing no-hitters during their 20s.
In the 10 American League no-hitters by one pitcher in the 1990s that followed Nolan Ryan's feat on May 1, 1991, the average age was 28.3. At 44, Ryan set the record for age and the number of no-hitters (seven) that eventful day in Arlington.
Amos Rusie was the youngest pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the modern era, when he threw a no-no in 1891 at the age of 20 years, two months for the New York Giants.

A's happy with young arms, Pennington
Texas A&M shortstop and high-school pitchers are highlights
By Mychael Urban / MLB.com
According the Eric Kubota, Oakland's director of scouting, the A's achieved just about everything they set out to achieve in this year's draft.
"Definitely," Kubota said late Wednesday. "We got two of the college guys we really targeted throughout the year, and we got a lot of good young arms to put into the system. We're very happy."
The college players to whom Kubota referred are Pennington and Travis Buck, an outfielder from Arizona State taken in the supplemental round. Here's a look at the players Oakland selected in rounds No. 2-20, followed by a comment from Kubota.
RHP Craig Italiano (second round, Flower Mound H.S., Tex.)
"First-round talent. Best high school arm in the country this year."
RHP Jared Lansford (second round, St. Francis H.S., Calif.)
"Very athletic. Has three 'plus' pitches. We've probably just seen the tip of the iceberg with Jared."
RHP Vincent Mazzaro (third round, Rutherford H.S., N.J.)
"Flashes two above-average pitches."
RHP Jimmy Shull (fourth round, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo)
"Athletic college senior, has average to a-bit-above-average stuff across the board."
RHP Scott Deal (fifth round, Curtis H.S., Wash.)
"Real loose arm. Has a chance to throw very hard someday."
SS Justin Sellars (sixth round, Marina H.S., Calif.)
"Just a great little player. Not very big, but he knows how to play the game."
RHP Kevin Bunch (seventh round, Serrano H.S., Calif.)
"A lot like Scott Deal. A lot of ceiling. Throws a good knuckle-curve."
RHP Jason Ray (eighth round, Azusa Pacific University)
"Our scouts saw up to 95 [miles per hour]."
RHP Trey Shields (ninth round, University of Alabama)
"Big-bodied kid with a lot of arm strength."
RHP John Herrera (10th round, Lubbock Christian University)
"Six-foot-six, good arm. Maybe a little bit under the radar."
1B Steven Kleen (11th round, Pepperdine University)
"He pitched, too, but we like him as a hitter. Really started coming into power late in the year."
3B Jeff Baisley (12th round, University of South Florida)
"Big-bodied kid who had a great year offensively."
LHP Mike Massero (13th round, Colorado State University-Pueblo)
"Real athletic center fielder. Has a chance to be an above-average defender."
LHP Brad Davis (14th round, Lewis & Clark State College)
"He just knows how to pitch."
OF Jeff Bieker (15th round, Fort Hays State University)
"Strong kid. Hit over 20 homers each of the past two years."
1B Justin Smoak (16th round, Stratford H.S., S.C.)
"One of the top high school position players in the draft. Signability is questionable, so we'll see what happens over the summer."
2B Isaac Omura (17th round, University of Hawaii)
"A little dirtbag who can flat-out hit."
C Anthony Recker (18th round, Alvernia College)
"Comes from a small school. Solid catch-and-throw skills."
C Julio Rivera (19th round, Puerto Rico Baseball Academy)
"Pretty advanced catch-and-throw skills. There's a pretty good track record for catchers from Puerto Rico."
RHP Stephen Bryant (20th round, University of Hawaii)
"Had a great year. Very good breaking ball."
After the 20th round, most teams are drafting to make sure their Minor League teams are stocked and balanced, but Kubota said he's never dismiss the big-league prospects of those selected on the second day of the draft.
"You need bodies; that's why the draft has so many rounds," Kubota said. "But you never know with these guys. There's obviously something we like about all of them, and you who's to say they won't overachieve down the road."
Among the notable second-day draftees for Oakland were Ohio State right-hander Michael Madsen (21st round), who started the prestigious Cape Cod League's all-star game last summer; San Jose State lefty Brad Kilby (29th round), who has been on Oakland's radar screen since he was in high school; T.J. Franco (30th round), a right-hander from University of San Francisco; and Northwood High shortstop Shane Keough, a draft-and-follow pick in the 36th round whose father, Matt, is a former star pitcher with the A's and currently works for the club as a special assistant to general manager Billy Beane.
The A's drafted a total of 40 players, including 29 collegians and 11 high school athletes. The breakdown includes 19 pitchers, six catchers, 11 infielders and four outfielders.

Two robberies in Reynoldstown and a murder in East Atlanta that happened over Memorial Day weekend may be connected and police now have a sketch of the man they think is responsible.
APD released the sketch of one suspect they say was involved in both the robberies and the shooting. That suspect then jumped into a waiting car with the other and sped off, according to the police report.
"We're looking for two, maybe three, suspects," APD spokesman Sgt. Gregory Lyon said.
Investigators from the Atlanta Police Department say the suspects are all teenagers, who in a span of 30 minutes held up a couple visiting from North Carolina at gunpoint and robbed a jogger. Then at 11 p.m. one allegedly shot a man named Patrick Cotrona as he walked from his home to a bar in the East Atlanta village after robbing him, police say without cause or warning.
Cotrona's roommate, Marcus Peden, was shot in the leg but fought back the suspects with pepper spray, according to police.
Police also released a sketch of a suspect 10 days ago and investigators said they aren't sure if the man depicted in the two sketches is the same person.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477), or text to 274637. Informants are not required to give their name or any other identifying information to be eligible for a $25,000 reward being offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the suspects.
Cotrona's sister, Kate Krumm, has organized a benefit fund called His Name Was Patrick Cotrona and said the proceeds will go to the reward fund for catching the alleged gunmen. She can be reached via email at email@example.com.

• Make a list of what you're taking that you can also use to keep track of your sales. Never assume that the venue will have everything you need to display your wares—or, if it does, that it's free. Booths usually consist of the space, a table, and some chairs: everything else is on you. Plan on bringing tape, clips, hangers, lights, or whatever you may need to set up.
• If you're going to sell originals, prints, books, T-shirts, what-have-you, start framing, printing, or ordering with the understanding that things usually take longer to produce than planned. It's not a crime to get things done early.
• Let your fans and potential patrons know where you're going to be and what you're going to be selling. Do not assume that everyone knows everything; do not put all the responsibility of bringing buyers to your space on the event organizers (they're usually worried about all sorts of other things, not just about whether you personally have a profitable show or not). You know your customers and clients better than anyone else: use your website, Facebook page, Twitter feed et al to let them know that you'll be at a particular convention, open for business.
Above: Tara McPherson meeting a fan.
• Be a pro. Everybody likes to have a good time, particularly when they're among friends and the after hours booze is flowing—but don't party so much that it affects your ability to run your booth properly and interact with potential customers. And remember that everybody you encounter at a show is a potential customer or client and they'll remember everything they see and hear (and with camera phones these days, snap embarrassing pix or video and post them to the internet). In other words, keep your pants on when in public, don't get into fisticuffs, and don't barf in the shrubbery (at least when people are watching). Definitely socialize and network after hours—get the most you can out of the opportunities being offered. Chatting with fans can lead to commissions; networking with your fellow artists and art directors may lead to new work. But plan to be ready to go every morning when the show opens, if not exactly bright-eyed at least not severely hung-over.

The panel on Thursday posthumously awarded Joel Campora the Wildlife Officer of the Year Award. His wife was presented the flag that was flown in Waldron at her husband's funeral. The couple had two children.
Campora died with Scott County Sheriff Cody Carpenter as they tried to rescue two women who were trapped by rising flood waters.
Also Thursday, the commission approved a budget increase of $44,800 for the purchase of swift-water rescue life vests for officers in its enforcement division.


text: France doesn't deserve to go to SA to be honest. From what I understand, they still have a good chance, but only because all the other teams in that group (except Serbia) suck so hard - especially Romania is a real disappointment. If France does make it, they'll need either a huge amount of luck or a major turnaround to not become a joke imo.

Children's camp rewarding for UHV professor
July 23, 2011 at 2:23 a.m.
Marie Plemons has harnessed creativity and imagination during her 37 years of instruction.
Now the University of Houston-Victoria education professor and early childhood development specialist is bringing out the creativity of young students during an interdisciplinary camp she is leading.
UHV School of Education & Human Development education majors are working with Plemons to present playful activities in reading, art, music, movement, math, science and social studies to stimulate children's creativity around the theme of "Life on a Ranch."
The camp for children ages 3 to 8 is taking place at the Children's Discovery Museum of the Golden Crescent. But Plemons' involvement with that institution has been deep since its inception more than 10 years ago.
"I have always been guided by the phrase 'children first,'" Plemons said. "I have always enjoyed being with children, and I love to watch their every move and listen to their comical antics."
Plemons and Jane Devick Fry, a UHV associate professor of education, brought the need for a children's museum to the attention of then-UHV President Karen Haynes. Haynes helped spur the community into action, resulting in a facility that fosters learning through art and a variety of play activities for young children and their families.
The professors continue to serve on the museum's board of directors. Barba Patton, a UHV associate professor of education, also has taught numerous camps during the museum's existence.
Plemons said her work at the museum is personally rewarding.
"I find it enjoyable to observe the children's excitement as they move from one area of the museum to another," she said. "One can hear their giggles and squeals as they create something original in the art area, engage in a dramatic play or explore new cultures."
Plemons said her biggest thrill comes when she hears a child begging to stay a little longer at the museum.
"That's when I know we have created something very special just for the children that will give them memories for a lifetime," she said.
Interim Museum Director Paige Gedvillas said although Plemons is a university professor, she works well with young children.
"I have worked with her on many events, and she is one of our best volunteer board members," Gedvillas said. "She is great with kids, and we are pleased to have her doing camps again. This is a fun ranch camp."
Plemons said the museum is a child-centered place where youth can learn at their own developmental levels.
"It provides the children with opportunities to learn about the world around them in a whimsical learning environment," she said.
Lawrence Rossow, dean of the UHV School of Education & Human Development, said the faculty working with nonprofit organizations such as the Children's Discovery Museum help foster goodwill with the community.
"We encourage our faculty to get involved in efforts that interest them," Rossow said. "Dr. Plemons and others who work with the museum are caring individuals who enjoy giving back to the town."

Philip Stauffer, Missoula Resident
"I am really encouraged to find out there are subsidies and will be subsidies for those people who can't afford health insurance."
"Right now, there are something like 48 million people who have no health insurance at all and they are not getting the care they need. So, the quality of care will be increased because they are simply seeing the doctor. The quality is up to the people providing the care. It should be that a competitive field will improve it because people will have to compete for the right to see patients."
"I feel that with Medicare, Medicaid and the willingness of the Partnership Health Center to partner with Western Montana Clinic, that the two of them can provide quality care in my case."
"I should still be able to see the doctor I am currently seeing. I can't foresee any change in that in my case, since I am a veteran, there would be the possibility of me going to a VA health care clinic, but frankly, with where I live, but with the convenience of my situation, I like the convenience of the doctor I currently see."

For the Crew's Boot Breast Cancer match against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, winger Dominic Oduro showed up to the stadium sporting his latest hairdo: a pink mohawk with pink ribbons on the the sides of his head for Breast Cancer Awareness month. The design is no surprise as a Ghana flag, a Black & Gold Crew-hawk and various other designs have decorated Oduro's dome in weeks previous.

text: I was thinking about calling into the show tonight. I am as frustrated as the next fan, but I don't think the blame game or sky is falling is the right approach to take. I do think that as an alumni, fan, Cyclone club member, and season ticket holder I should be able to get some accountability. I have put together a few questions that I have, and wanted to see what you all thought or if anyone had any valid questions they would like added to my list. 1. Identity, What is the goal of our offense. Iowa is ball control / limit possessions much like K-State. OU, TT, Baylor like to get up tempo and tire the defense. 2. Where is our depth in year 5? I know we have had injuries, but in year 5, I would hope we would have built on a foundation where we could absorb some of these injuries. Have we missed on recruits that haven't developed to provide this depth. Please only comment if have constructive suggestions. We all know how sarcasm works on this site.

Uganda: Invisible child killers beyond Kony
For the past month or so, Uganda has seen attention in the media and among the American public that it hasn't experienced in several years, thanks to the viral video phenomenon "Kony2012."
But this story was no surprise to those of us who have worked at World Vision for a while.
For years, World Vision's incredible team in Uganda has served children who had escaped the clutches of Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). World Vision's own staff members experienced the abduction of their own children or were abducted themselves.
In 1995, World Vision opened its Children of War Rehabilitation Center in Gulu, Uganda. Since then, World Vision has provided counseling and support to more than 14,000 former child soldiers to help begin their healing process and their reintegration into their families and communities.
Today, there is peace in northern Uganda. Kony and the LRA left Uganda in 2006. Though they continue to wreak havoc in other parts of central Africa, northern Uganda is rebuilding.
But Uganda's children are not safe. Invisible killers continue to stalk them -- and these killers have a far greater reach than the LRA ever did. Poverty-related diseases like diarrhea, malaria, and malnutrition continue to kill hundreds of Ugandan children every day. Some 4 percent of infants in Uganda die in their first year of life; 9 percent die before the age of 5.
- Diarrhea is the leading cause of death in children in Uganda.
- Approximately 400 people die daily of diarrhea-related diseases in Uganda.
- Malaria is the third leading cause of death in Uganda.
- Malaria kills between 200 and 300 Ugandans every day; most are children under the age of 5.
- Malnutrition is an underlying cause of around 60 percent of child deaths in Uganda.
- 16 percent of Ugandan children under 5 are moderately or severely underweight.
- 38 percent of Ugandan children under 5 are moderately or severely stunted.
World Vision's child sponsorship program in Uganda helps combat preventable causes of child deaths, such as hunger and disease. (Photo: Sylvia Nabanoba/World Vision)
World Vision's community development programs -- funded by thousands of child sponsorships in Uganda -- continue to help provide anti-malarial bed nets, clean water systems, rehydration treatment, nutritional education, agricultural training, and many more initiatives to combat these silent killers.
In one Ugandan community where World Vision has been working for two years, resources provided through child sponsorships have helped complete a clean water project; supplied families with insecticide-treated bed nets; offered nutritional training; and provided agricultural support to families. Already, the community has seen the incidences of these deadly child illnesses plummet.
Such invisible killers are easily prevented and treated with the right resources. Extreme poverty keeps most of these children's families from accessing the preventative care and treatment they need, but sponsorship helps many of these families gain access to the resources they need to save their children's lives.
Joseph Kony remains a danger to central Africa and should be arrested, his captive soldiers released and supported as they return to their homes.
But in the meantime, each of us can help battle the invisible killers of Uganda's children that remain -- and sponsorship is a critical way to win that war.
Sponsor a child in Uganda today. Sponsorship is the most powerful way you can help fight poverty and preventable child deaths. It provides stability and extra support during times of crisis, as well as a safety net against life-threatening conditions like malnutrition, unsafe drinking water, and disease.

Have you looked over the HT consortium site? It is truly a lovely spec but they didn't quite make the most of their brief window of opportunity to kill off the bus. Everybody went PCI-X instead of HT. I don't know if this was due to Intel FUD, or a lack of energy from other consortium members, or the difficulty of overcoming vendor persistence in sticking with PCI or... most likely it was just the lack of Intel support. Who would invest in an HT connection for their network card when it will never run on 3/4 of all servers made by design? I've seen this before, a couple of times, over the lifetime of the PC. Somebody comes up with a couple of competing bus designs, sometimes there are even cards released for both, but eventually Intel gets behind just one or the other proves unscalable, and... the rest is history, at least for 4-5 years until the next one comes along. Intel isn't anywhere nearly as bad as Microsoft, and there have "always" been 2-3 makers of competing Intel compatible chips, since shortly after the PC. AMD is just the survivor of this last-man-standing competition and they do have the chops to do some really good things. The opteron really gave them a solid chunk of the high performance market and a lot of cred. But definitely -- they needed to carry HT a lot further, because it was very much one of the major advantages of their entire design philosophy that has never quite made it big. rgb > > After all if pathscale can manage hypertransport -> IB, how much harder > would shared memory be..... if of course coherent HT worked at a reasonable > price. > > Or maybe if Nvidia can manage to build a low volume video card > with 768MB and a 80GB/sec memory system for $560 maybe some enterprising > company could build a opteron based motherboard with amazing memory > bandwidth..... if of course coherent HT worked at a reasonable > price. > > Why shouldn't a video card be able to directly access all memory (and > vice versa)? > > Then again maybe this is what AMD's torenza initiative is about > > Seems like AMD stands to gain much more from the potential of > future coherent HT products then they do by losing $$$'s on lower > prices for the 8xx and 8xxx products vs the 2xx and 2xxxx products. > > Not to mention if the world bought more quad socket machines that would > be a world that AMD would have a much larger lead in (because of > the onchip memory controller). > > > -- Robert G.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space (BLU)
Stephen Chiodo
Finally the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. The "juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination" (Los Angeles Times) in this killer entertainment that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good. A spaceship - looking like a circus tent - lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankind - by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town's teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful - but deadly - weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!

Ben Zobrist drove in three runs, including an eighth-inning solo homer that proved to be the difference, as the Tampa Bay Rays held on to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 9-8, in the finale of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Elliot Johnson went deep in front of Zobrist in the eighth for Tampa Bay, which avoided being swept in Baltimore for the first time since July 24-26, 2007.
Nick Markakis doubled twice and knocked in three for the Orioles.
The Rays scored three runs in the second and fourth innings against Baltimore starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (2-4) en route to taking a 7-1 lead.
"Jake's capable of better and that's what frustrates him somewhat," said Baltimore manager Buck Showalter.
The Orioles put up a three-spot in the sixth, with J.J. Hardy and Markakis hitting back-to-back doubles and Matt Wieters launching a home run to right- center.
Tampa Bay starter James Shields (6-1) couldn't make it out of the seventh. Robert Andino began the frame with a single and Ryan Flaherty reached on a throwing error. After striking out Xavier Avery, who made his major league debut, Shields was replaced by Burke Badenhop. Hardy then grounded into a fielder's choice and scored along with Andino when Markakis doubled off Jake McGee.
After Johnson, who opened the scoring with an RBI single, and Zobrist slugged back-to-back homers, Nick Johnson responded with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth.
Fernando Rodney came on to protect Tampa Bay's 9-7 lead in the ninth and gave up a leadoff single to Flaherty, who was erased at second on a fielder's choice after pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit struck out swinging in front of Hardy.
Markakis then walked and Adam Jones hit a slow ground ball that was fielded by Sean Rodriguez. The third baseman's throw deflected off Carlos Pena's glove at first, allowing Hardy to score. However, the Rays prevailed, snapping their three-game losing streak, and Rodney notched his 10th save when Wieters grounded out to third.
"[The back-to-back homers] helped give us a little bit of breathing room going into the ninth and it turned out we really needed it," Zobrist said.
Game Notes
Pena slapped a two-run double, while Will Rhymes and Matt Joyce also knocked in runs for Tampa Bay...The Rays were 5-for-17 with runners in scoring position...Tampa Bay improved to 8-3 in series finales this season...Rodriguez struck out in his lone at-bat to halt his hitting streak at 10 games...Shields gave up six runs -- four earned -- on seven hits...Arrieta was tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings...The Orioles have lost six straight games on Mother's Day.

When you're visiting Chicago, there is really only one thing you absolutely need to do. You have to go out for Cheese, Wine and Swine.
This is the tag line for the restaurant The Purple Pig, which specializes in everything pork. And since I only had one opportunity to eat there, I decided to make a pig of myself. My very cool editor from Gatehouse Media joined me for lunch and we got the Pig Platter (a selection of salami and cured porks) with a plate of artisan cheeses, bread and jam. I have not pigged out on such amazing meat and cheese since the time I was in Italy. It was fabulous.
Lunch at The Purple Pig was a great way to downshift after appearing on Good Day Chicago that morning. I had a great time chatting with Anna Davlantes about being Lost in Suburbia and she commiserated about how tough it is to get your cool back after you become a mom (although she admits she never got stopped by a cop while driving in her bathrobe).
After the interview, we demonstrated how incredibly inept we both are at the art of taking "selfies." Finally got a good pic, but not without some help from the camera crew.
The food fest continued that night at a restaurant called Niu, which specializes in Asian Fusion cuisine. We had some amazing sushi rolls which I neglected to take pictures of because I ate them too quickly. I will tell you though that the one I had featured salmon, mango and red pepper flakes and it was crazy good. The food was great, but the best part was having a couple of hours to hang out with friends I only get to see once or twice a year!
Needless to say, a trip to Chicago is not complete without some deep dish pizza. As a Jersey girl, I prefer my pizza thin and crispy. But when in Chicago, you gotta do like the Chicagoans do so we went to Giordanos and I got a stuffed Super Veggie pie, which was incredible.
A couple of other places worth mentioning were Yolk, for the best breakfast/brunch in Chicago, City Winery for great flatbreads to go with their extensive wine list, and Emilio's Tapas for, of course, awesome tapas.
Thanks to all my Chicago friends for the great restaurant recommendations and to those of you who joined me for some great food and conversation! (And yes, in case you were wondering, I did gain a couple of pounds while I was in Chicago, but it was worth it!)

A man has filed a federal lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office alleging he was wrongly arrested two years ago after a fight outside a bar.
A man has filed a federal lawsuit against the Marion County Sheriff's Office alleging he was wrongly arrested two years ago after a fight outside a bar.
Prosecutors decided not to press charges against Jesse Scurlock — but by that time he had spent a month in jail following his arrest, lost his job, and paid $7,500 to a defense attorney.
Scurlock, 29, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney fees.
The Sheriff's Office has not yet responded to the lawsuit, court records show. Spokesman Judge Cochran said local officials haven't even seen the complaint; it likely is being routed through attorneys affiliated with the risk management group to which the Sheriff's Office belongs.
The fight happened the night of Sept. 11, 2011, outside Ma Barker's Hideaway in Ocklawaha, according to news accounts.
Scurlock was accused of shooting Andrew Ghigliotty in the right palm during a struggle.
But Ghigiotty pulled the gun in the first place and shot himself during the scuffle, the lawsuit said.
According to the suit, one witness told investigating deputies that Ghigliotty had introduced the gun into the equation, and another witness confirmed Ghigliotty's ownership of the firearm.
Law officers themselves found Ghigliotty hiding in bushes, the suit says.
Nevertheless, Scurlock was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm.
In his lawsuit, Scurlock says he was subject to an illegal search and seizure of his person and was physically restrained without cause — all violations of his constitutional rights.
In addition to the Sheriff's Office, Deputies Karla Chartier and Calvin Batts are listed as defendants.

Tuesday September 11, 2012
Appearing on Katie Couric's new chat show, singer and reality star Jessica Simpson revealed that she has lost forty pounds since giving birth to daughter Maxwell.
Looking glamorous in a sophisticated long-sleeved peplum dress, the star admitted the weight was far easier to gain than to lose.
She said: "During my pregnancy, I didn't really think about it. I thought my doctors were telling me that it was just a lot of water and whenever my water broke my whole entire stomach would go down but that did not happen."
"All the weight did not go down with the baby."
Now just ten pounds away from her target weight, Jessica reveals she used her daughter to help her slim down after pregnancy.
She said: "I basically take her with me, whether it's strapping her on me or strolling around the neighbourhood."
Daughter Maxwell was welcomed into the world in May to Jessica and her fiancé Eric Johnson.

Blue is a giant crystalisk in the Caustic Caverns. He has most of the same characteristics of othe crystalisks. The main difference from other crystalisks is that Blue can shoot Exploding Mini Crystalisks at the player. These Mini Crystalisks will explode when in close proximity to the player. Killing Blue is like any crystalisk, simply destroy his leg crystals. It is required to kill Blue for the quest "Safe and Sound".
Effective fighting technique: The best way to fight blue or any other crystalisk is with melee, but you MUST have a bladed gun otherwise this technique WILL NOT work. If you use a bladed gun to melee the crystals on his legs will shatter instantly, regardless of level a bladed weapon will shatter in one hit. Of course a character with a low level will take a lot of damage but get in close and strike with the attachment on the gun, any bladed gun will work. Not only can you beat him in less than ten seconds but you will also earn some badass points the first time you do this.

There was no chair swapping for the mayor and vice mayor seats for the third year in a row. The Longboat Key Town Commission repealed a resolution Tuesday night to make sure of it.
At its Tuesday, March 19 statutory meeting, the commission voted 7-0 to keep Jim Brown as mayor and David Brenner as vice mayor for a third time.
Before that vote, the commission repealed a resolution that's been intact since 1998, when the sitting commission at that time agreed a mayor should serve no more than two years in a row.
The meeting came seven days after Brown kept his District 4 seat in the March 12 election for his third and final consecutive term as commissioner. Brenner is in the middle of his second term.
Once he was sworn in, again, as mayor, Brown expressed his gratitude.
"I don't know what I've done that's given me the appreciation of my fellow commissioners," said Brown, who was a little emotional and had trouble collecting his thoughts at first. "I really appreciate this and I am honored to do everything I can to live up to every standard that's expected of me."
Commissioner Jack Duncan nominated Brown, and the vote was unanimous.
"Jim Brown has done an excellent job of leading, and I would like to see that continue," Duncan said.
Brown nominated Brenner as the town's vice mayor.
"Jim and I work together incredibly well together, and I would like to think that shows," Brenner said. "I thank my colleagues to allow us to serve as part of this leadership committee."
Brown and Brenner have led the commission through a series of changes the past two years, including the resignations of former Town Manager Bruce St. Denis and Planning, Zoning & Building Director Monica Simpson and the approval of a new Publix in 2011.
This past year, they oversaw a new three-year contract with the Longboat Key Fire Rescue Union that's led to the freezing of the current unfunded pension plan, and they hope to get a similar contract approved with the Longboat Key Police Department Union.
"This is probably the only commission in the state to have four town managers in one month," Brown said. "We have achieved some pretty significant things together. I am so glad this commission is still together."
The town's mayor and vice mayor serve one-year terms.
The mayor and vice mayor seats, though, aren't the only seats to stay the same this year.
The commission stays intact after an election that saw three challengers running against three incumbents and one close race. Commissioner Terry Gans beat challenger Irwin Pastor by 27 votes for the one year left in his at-large term.
Duncan was the only commissioner not to be challenged for his seat.
At the meeting, Brown, Duncan and Commissioner Phill Younger were sworn in for new two-year terms.
Gans was sworn in to fill the one year left on the remainder of a term that Commissioner Hal Lenobel vacated.
During campaigning for the recent election, the incumbents urged voters to keep them in office for several reasons.
Those reasons included more pension modifications, overseeing a beach project this summer, revamping the town's zoning codes and Comprehensive Plan and addressing the future of the shuttered Colony Beach & Tennis Resort.
"My only hope is when we all go to bed tonight, we take the election with us, but the only thing we think about in the morning is the future of Longboat Key," Brenner said.

- Significant inequality and poverty
Risk assessment
Growth suffering in negative climate
In 2017, growth will stay moderate, reaching 2.3 %, as in the first quarter (YoY). It will be affected by the national political gridlock and the moderation of the US economy, with which the Salvadorian economy is closely correlated. The weakness of national savings and that of credit growth, as well as the ongoing restrictive fiscal policy are hampering growth. Moreover, consumption suffers from high criminality, but benefits from both increased remittances from workers abroad and low inflation, even if it is increasing since February, The limited purchasing power of households, the lack of natural resources, together with corruption and criminality, will continue to limit private investment. In terms of sectors, growth is likely to be sustained, as in 2016, by manufacturing and agricultural production.
Budgetary consolidation blocked by political dissension
With the budget deficit remaining close to subdued 3% of GDP in 2017, the country's budget situation will remain fragile. Given the growth rate and the weakness of investments, the possibility for the government of using its fiscal options to increase revenues is limited. Furthermore, political disagreements between the government of President Salvador Sánchez Cerén (FMLN, left) and the Legislative Assembly, where his party only holds 31 out of the 84 seats, are blocking the reforms needed to help reduce the deficit. These dissensions are exacerbated by the fact that the FMLN has proven reluctant to adopt the budget consolidation favoured by ARENA (Alianza Republicana Nacionalista), the first power in the Assembly, on the right side of the political spectrum. This legislative weakness kept the government from getting a budget expansion needed to cover an USD57m principal and interest payment to local pension funds, leading to the country's first default in more than twenty years. The payment was finally made, but the increasing tension between the two powers has raised government debt payment risks. With no deal in sight between the FMLN and ARENA, and as external financing remain limited, spending cuts should continue in order to allow the government to meet its obligations. The perpetuation of the deficit will lead to an ever-increasing level of public debt beyond 60 % of GDP, a worrying level for a dollarized economy.
The current account deficit is expected to widen in 2017. As they are reliant on the health of the US economy (48 % of the total exports), exports are not likely to grow significantly in 2017. At the same time, the slight rise in oil prices will have an impact on imports: the trade balance is therefore likely to remain in deficit. In contrast, the services surplus should improve, and remittances from the Salvadorian diaspora, in particular from the US, will remain important (17% of GDP). The financing of the current account deficit is suffering because of the level of criminality which is deterring FDI.
Governance hindered by the lack of a legislative majority
S. Sánchez Cerén (FMLN), elected President in June 2014, faces a number of challenges including budget consolidation and restoring security within the country. However, he is unable to call on support from a majority in the Assembly following the victory of ARENA in the general elections of March 2015. This situation is preventing the urgently needed reforms for budget consolidation, and raising fears of legislative paralysis ahead of the next legislative elections in March 2018. Already accused of high levels of corruption and nepotism, the government is losing support among the population for its budget measures. Murders linked with the country's gangs are decreasing (-20 % in 2016 compared to 2015, according to official data), in particular because of extraordinary measures introduced in 2016 and extended in February 2017 until 2018 (application of a state of emergency in seven prisons holding the imprisoned gang members, deployment of military in rural areas). Two of the biggest gangs (MS-13 and Barrio 18) expressed their willingness to start negotiations with the government, which has refused at the moment. El Salvador remains the most violent country in the world in 2016 (81.2 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016), and as a result, the business climate has deteriorated significantly.
Although the FMLN maintains historic links with radical left regimes in the region, the President is careful to maintain good relations with the United States, the country's leading trading partner.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband is declaring his love for the ailing actress as she marks her 96th birthday by taking out a huge billboard advertisement featuring their wedding photo.
The star, who has been in and out of hospital in recent years, reached the milestone on Wednesday, and to celebrate, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt is making a big statement in Los Angeles.
Von Anhalt is also staging an Oscars viewing party at their home on Feb. 24 as a belated bash for Gabor.
He tells Britain's Daily Mail, "We always have her birthday party on a Sunday and although she won't be able to join in, I've got cameras rigged up and she'll be watching the whole thing on a big screen from her bed.
"Plus everyone who goes to the Oscars will see my birthday present to her – a 40ft by 18ft billboard of our wedding photo which I'm putting up on Sunset Boulevard."
Von Anhalt has previously taken out a huge billboard in honour of the actress to celebrate the couple's 25th wedding anniversary in 2011.

A new year is upon us. Practically everyone on Planet Earth will be making a new year's resolution. The ultimate goals we strive for every year can be grouped into four categories—better health, more wealth, quality relationships and more efficient use of time.
Better health: Lose weight, exercise more, eat healthy, quit smoking and quit drinking.
More wealth: Get out of debt, save more, buy real estate and seek better employment.
Quality relationships: Find a love mate, strengthen marriage, spend more time with family and friends, enjoy and appreciate life and enhance your relationship with God.
More efficient use of time: Get organized, work less and play more.
It's easy to see that if we attain these goals, we'll have a higher quality of life. Who doesn't want a higher quality of life? Yet, we make these goals New Year's Day (Jan. 1) and by the time Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) rolls around, 90 percent of us stop doing the things that are necessary for us to achieve our goals. Does this imply that most of us would rather be fat, sick, broke, lonely, tired, confused and/or overworked? If the saying is true that "action speaks louder than words," we need to take a hard look at what we want to achieve versus what we're doing to achieve it.
In order to achieve any worthwhile goal, our behavior, attitude, and actions have to be congruent with our goal. If not, your goal will amount to nothing more than wishful thinking. You'll continue to live life wondering why you've always struggled with weight and why you've always struggled with money. You'll continue to wonder why your life is a cluttered mess and why most of your relationships feel insincere. Regardless of what your goal is, the steps necessary to achieve your goal are relatively the same. Although my focus is primarily on financial goals, you can substitute the financial goal with whatever your goal is and achieve the same outcome—success!
I'm in the business of helping people realize their financial goals. When preparing financial plans, I use goals as the motivation to stimulate action. With every goal there are sacrifices to be made and obstacles to overcome. I try to convey the message to my clients and to myself that you're paying the price now because you want to own a home, feed and clothe your family, keep the utilities on, become debt free and retire with a million dollar net worth while at the same time—have a life! It won't be easy. Nor is it easy to struggle from paycheck to paycheck, buried deeply in debt, not knowing how you're going to make ends meet with no money in the bank. If I'm going to struggle, I want to struggle as I experience incremental progress as opposed to struggle and continue to deal with more of what I don't want.
Below I'll share the steps that are necessary to achieve your goals in 2010:
Decide exactly what you want. What is it that you're trying to achieve financially? Save more? Get out of debt? Establish an emergency fund? Buy a house?
Prioritize your goals. When you're working to achieve more than one goal, it's best to prioritize your goals and decide on which goal you'll focus on first, second, third, etc. It's easier, more efficient and more practical to focus all of your energy and resources on one goal at a time. After you've accomplished one goal, you'll focus all of your energy and resources on the next goal.
Set specific measurable goals. Don't just set a goal to save money or get out of debt. Set a goal to save $5,000 for emergencies in the next 10 months. Don't just set a goal to get out of debt. Set a goal to pay off all credit card debt within the next year.
Break goals down into smaller parts. It's helpful and more believable when you break your goals into smaller parts. If you're striving to save $5,000 toward your emergency fund, it may sound more feasible to you if you set a goal to save $312.50 per month for the next 16 months.
Imagine life as if you achieved the goal. Consistently create mental pictures of how life will be once you've achieved your goal. What will be different? How would you feel? This will help you to stay motivated and encourage you to hold firm to your goals.
Monitor progress. Each day, each week and each month should bring you closer toward your goals. Financial goals are easily measurable. One of two things should be happening: You should see the balances on your debts going down or the balances on your savings and investments going up. If you're not experiencing progress, you need to ask yourself, are your actions consistent with your goals?
If at first you don't succeed, try a different method. Persistence is a noble characteristic—when you persist with an adjustment to weed out the things that are holding you back from reaching your goal.
Create a new lifestyle. The same behavior, attitude and actions that were necessary to achieve your goals, will be the same behavior, attitude and necessary to "maintain" your goals. Far too many people fall off course once they've achieved their goals. They end up back where they started.
In closing, I'll leave you with two quotes: "Virtually any goal can be accomplished, but the desire for the goal is not nearly as important as what you are willing to "give up" to achieve the goal."—Earl Nightingale
"Obstacles are the things you see when you take your eyes off of the goal."—Zig Ziglar

TIJUANA— Club Tijuana returned to winning ways on Friday after captain Javier Gandolfi scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Monarcas Morelia at the Estadio Caliente.
Tijuana was in firm control of the match from the opening whistle as they dominated possession against a listless Morelia side. After peppering the Monarcas net for much of the first half, Tijuana broke through in the 61st minute when Gandolfi smashed a Francisco Arce free kick into the back of the Morelia net.
The victory extended Tijuana's home unbeaten streak to 16 games and a 2-1-1 record after four matches in the Clausura tournament.
A few observations from the match:
*Having seen Club Tijuana play numerous times since the start of their season, the primary question mark remains the uneven play of left back Edgar Castillo. The U.S. international has always been more of an attacking wing back that can be a liability on defense, which could be a major asset for the Galaxy attack. When the two teams meet in March, expect LA to look to pressure Castillo in order to find space behind the Xolos defense.
*Midfielder Fidel Martinez is the true engine of the Tijuana attack, but against Morelia, he's struggled to create dangerous opportunities going forward. Against Monarcas, the Ecuadorian was afforded plenty of time and space by a Morelia midfield that preferred to sit back and allow Xolos possession. A very technical attacker, look for the Galaxy to attempt to limit his space and force him to give away possession. However, if the LA midfield does provide him with time to operate, he should provide a dangerous test for the Galaxy defense.
*A lot has been made over the past several years about the turf at the Estadio Caliente, but after placing a new surface earlier this year, it is a marked improvement from the hard concrete-like surface of years past. That being said, it is still not the equal of a turf surface like the one at JELD-WEN Field in Portland as the ball too often sticks to the ground causing problems for the home side and visitors alike. Prior to the match on March 18, expect the Galaxy to spend a considerable amount of time training on turf surfaces to prepare.

OCEAN CITY — Ocean City Police this week are asking for the public's help in identifying and locating two suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery and assault in the resort two weeks ago.
Around 11 a.m. on Aug. 21, two individuals walked into the Public Safety Building in Ocean City to report an armed robbery that had occurred earlier in the morning. The victims told police around 4 a.m., they were sitting in a vehicle on the bayside near the south side of 44th Street with the windows rolled down.
The victims told police two unidentified assailants approached the vehicle with their shirts pulled over their heads and began yelling and demanding money from them.
One of the assailants produced a tire jack and struck the driver twice in the head. The passenger then gave the armed robbers his wallet containing a credit card and his driver's license. According to victim testimony, the two assailants then ran from the scene, got into a silver Honda Civic hatchback and drove past the victims on 44th Street before heading south on Coastal Highway.
Based on the information received from the victims, the suspects are both believed to be adult males, possibly Hispanic. Ocean City Police are asking anyone with information about the armed robbery to contact the OCPD Criminal Investigation Division at 410-723-6604.

Luke and his team of contractors were very professional and their work is faultless. Very friendly & ...
We are very pleased with our finished bathroom by Luke at Unique Style Bathrooms. Luke was reliable, courteous and very organised throughout the job. He was very particular about the fine details and made sure that all aspects of the job were completed to a high standard. All his trades worked together with Luke to produce a beautiful finished product. Many thanks Luke.
Unique Style Bathrooms was recommended to us by our neighbour as he was very pleased with Luke Mossman's workmanship and professionalism. Due to this, we employed Unique Style Bathrooms to renovate our ensuite and ten months later, our main bathroom. Luke was very competitive in his pricing and was able to commence the renovations in a suitable time frame. The work was completed quickly with minimum disruption to our household. Luke is a very accomplished tiler who takes great care to ensure that tile and grout lines are equally spaced and uniform. Upon completion, the rooms were professionally cleaned leaving them beautifully presented. On both occasions, Luke endeavoured to meet our wishes and was willing to discuss various ways of planning the spaces to be most effective. Therefore, we recommend most highly, Unique Style Bathrooms and Luke Mossman to anyone building or renovating in the future. Ken and Sally Davidson Belmont, NSW.
A big thankyou to Unique Style Bathrooms. Luke and his team were professional every step of the way. I am very happy with the workmanship, Luke is a perfectionist in his work and it certainly shows in the end product.
From the first appointment for quote to the final day of the renervations Luke ( Unique Style Bathrooms) dilivered us a new bathroom above our expectations on time with exceptional workmanship. Cannot recommend Luke and his team enough.

Forsaking the Ivory Tower
By Seth Shostak
Patrick Moore -- the brooding presence with the gruff voice and monocled eye -- has died. The famous British popularizer of astronomy passed away at the age of 89 this week. He had the distinction of being the author of more than 70 books and the host of the world's longest-running television series featuring a single host: The Sky at Night.
Moore was a popularizer; not a traditional research astronomer with a PhD, tenure, grad students and -- most important -- a stack of academic reprints. Moore chose broadcasting over narrowcasting, and tried to educate the everyman. His work was for the public, not the specialist.
That may sound like a worthy, indeed an admirable, life. But to many scientists, it isn't. All too often they feel that talking at a level that the general populace can grasp is somehow a lesser activity. Taking science beyond the lecture hall borders on the unseemly -- as if NBA stars were to routinely engage in pick-up games with the neighborhood kids.
Popularization, and even more so its less frequently used synonym, vulgarization, have a distinctly low-brow tenor.
This is a relatively new development, however. Towards the end of the 19th century, when science was growing like kudzu and inventors including Nikolai Tesla, Thomas Edison and George Eastman were warping its discoveries into everyday products, there was good reason to connect the public to science. Science was something that any educated person could understand -- and in many cases, turn to use. Lectures and popular magazines were ubiquitous. Top-notch academics went on the road to speak of the latest developments. British scientist John Tyndall traveled to New York to give some physics lectures, and when these were written up by a local newspaper, fifty thousand copies were sold.
