Automotive MCU aims for zero fatalities
3 comments
PORTLAND, Ore.—A new lower-cost automotive microcontroller family from Freescale Semiconductor Inc. aims to lower the cost of collision avoidance systems. The new Qorivva family of 32-bit microcontrollers, built on Freescale's Power Architecture, will help make collision avoidance systems standard equipment on most models, according to Freescale, rather than just a high-end luxury item like today.
"Today, the least expensive lane departure warning systems on high-end models cost $500, but this new cost-effective family of Qorivva 32-bit microcontrollers will help lower the price to $100 so that standard models can take advantage of these sophisticated collision avoidance systems," said Allan McAuslin, an automotive marketing manager at Freescale.
The U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates that one in three automotive crash fatalities could be avoided by advanced driver assistance systems. The long-term goal of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is attaining a zero-fatality rate worldwide. The new Qorivva will help achieve the ADAS goal, according to Freescale, by lowering the cost of blind-spot detection, lane-departure warnings, side-view assistance and adaptive headlight control.
The Qorivva MPC567xK is low-cost itself, plus it reduces the need for external signal processors by virtue of its dual-core Z7 Power Architecture CPUs—benchmarked at 305 Automarks—plus its on-chip signal processing engines. Operating at up to 180 MHz, with up to 2 MB flash memory and 512K SRAM, the MPC567xK works with Freescale's 77 GHz silicon germanium emitters for radar-based ADAS solutions. The Qorivva microcontroller works with AUTOSAR run-time software, including the MCAL driver suite and real-time operating system as well as with Freescale's general purpose development tools, including compilers, debuggers and the CodeWarrior development studio.

Good old religious entitelement. The state can't tell religious entities what to do, because freedom, but if the state wants to give religious entities lots of money, why it's the least they can do. That's how the people who run Hope Christian School in Albuquerque view the matter.
A three year-old was denied admittance to Hope Christian School in Albuquerque, N.M. because he has two gay fathers, KOAT-TV reported.
A letter sent to the family offered the school's rationale:
"Same gender couples are inconsistent with scriptural lifestyle and biblical teachings," and "Home life doesn't reflect the school's belief of what a biblical family lifestyle is."
The letter added that because Hope Christian School is private, it is exempt from "excessive government interference in matters of religion,"according to KOAT-TV.
And yet, the school will receive over $60,000 dollars from the federal government this year, according to the Huffington Post.
Heads we win, tails you lose. That's fair, right?

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This ended up being a bit more of a bear to construct than I gave it credit for, and thus I'm not too pleased with how it sits (plus I did not lose the weight I intended to before Otakon, but yolo), but anyway. The suit is generic red milliskin spandex, divided into a shirt and leggings. The pleather "underwear" is only two-way stretch and thus was tough to pattern, but now it is sewn into the waistband and seamless with the rest of the suit. The neckline and boot covers are both made with the same material, and the gloves were preexisting from my Fai cosplay. The logo is made with spray-Heat'N'Bond on layers of spandex and PVC, and heat-bonded to the shirt.
- Personal Thoughts:
- NO CAPES. In all seriousness, 'The Incredibles' is arguably my favorite Pixar movie for being edgy, daring, a little bit violent, a little bit sexy, a little bit suggestive, and really goddamn spunky for a Disney flick. I didn't care if I had a group or not, I needed to represent the curvy-lady appeal of Elastigirl and finally cosplay from Disney, so I made it happen and I'm so glad.

Canadian Anthrax Outbreak Worsens
- Aug 13, 2006
- Topics:
An anthrax outbreak that began in early July has claimed 637 animals and caused 134 premises to be quarantined in Saskatchewan, Canada, as of Aug. 10, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The outbreak is the largest on record to ever hit Saskatchewan. In Manitoba, Canada, CFIA officials confirmed anthrax cases on 18 premises, with 126 dead animals reported.
According to CFIA veterinarians, more than 250,000 animals have been privately vaccinated and 18,000 vaccinated by the Canadian government. Animals infected by the outbreak include cattle, horses, bison, sheep, and goats.
Anthrax is zoonotic disease--meaning it can be transmitted to humans by an infected animal or animal product--caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis or its spores. The spores are highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, so the bacteria can survive in the soil for years. Anthrax naturally occurs in grazing animals (cattle, sheep, and goats), but virtually all mammals, including horses, can contract this disease.
Most of the farms under the 30-day quarantines raise cattle, but other premises housing horse, swine, bison, and white-tailed deer have also been quarantined. Although anthrax is not as common in horses, those that ingest spores usually develop a very high fever and show signs of colic and/or diarrhea. They might also develop difficulty breathing (dyspnea) and can develop swelling on the underside of the neck and chest.
Treatment (fluids, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medications) can be successful, but anthrax is usually fatal to horses if not treat early in the course of the disease.
Anthrax outbreaks often occur following heavy rains--which can push long-hidden spores into new, more accessible grazing locations--or drought—which causes animals to graze closer to the contaminated soil.
Several U.S. areas have also been dealing with anthrax outbreaks, although they are minor in comparison to Canada's and seem to be slowing down.
"To the best of my knowledge, no new cases of anthrax have been confirmed by the lab since 28 July, 2006," said Randy Lindemann, DVM, North Dakota district veterinarian. "I have a stack of eight submissions to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, North Dakota State University, all of which are negative. This deal appears to have stopped short. We were having extreme heat with temps in the triple digit range at about that time. I don't know if that plays a role or not. I also don't know what to expect from here on."

While we're always excited about the newest Hershey's candy or next Cheetos flavor, we adore trying handmade, artisanal products from smaller vendors. In our new series Artisanal Pick, we're highlighting small-batch products that we've tried, tested, and devoured.
Curious to know what our tasters described as "the next Nutella" and "vanilla icing meets peanut butter"? That'd be Reginald's Cashew Nilla Cashew Butter ($8), which you'll find on our spoons as of late. The small-batch nut-butter company is owned by Andrew Broocker, who wanted to create an all-natural line of peanut butters after transforming his diet and losing about 150 pounds. He grew to love peanut butter but was discontented with the all-natural options available, so he created a line of peanut and cashew butters, all with interesting and unusual flavors.
Reginald's prides itself on the simple, short, and natural list of ingredients. The cashew butter is made from four ingredients only: cashews, peanut oil, vanilla beans, and vanilla extract. Despite having no salt or sugar added, the thick, rich cashew butter still manages to pack in plenty of nutty, vanilla-y flavor, so it practically tastes like dessert anyway.
Reginald's nut butters are available for purchase in grocery stores around the Virginia/Maryland area, but the company also sells its products online. Beyond toast and crackers, we imagine smearing this decadent spread on a blueberry bagel or substituting it in for peanut butter to make a batch of cashew butter cookies.

Sequim Gazette
Clallam County athletes and others (emphasis on others) turned out in droves for the fourth annual Outrageous Olympics, Fri., Nov. 5.
With 12 teams of four competing, the event raised $5,700 for Clallam County United Way.
Event coordinator Jamye Wisecup called it "a unique fundraiser for United Way and the participants. I have always enjoyed the dining and camaraderie of fundraising dinner events in Clallam County, but this is a totally different twist. The humor, laughter and great spirits contributed to the camaraderie of working together to raise much-needed dollars, but this was pure fun as well."
Wisecup thanked those who helped make the event a success, including the volunteers and all of the businesses that contributed. She also thanked the teams for their enthusiasm and effort and gave a grateful nod as well to those who ponied up for prizes.
Sign up now for next year," she says. For more information, see the website at unitedwayclallam.org.

Hey I have a strange request for any of you that might be visiting the Studios on Sat or Sun Jan 28/29th.
My daughter is working on a history day project. Her theme is Walt Disney: Revolutionary, Reaction, Reform... her thesis is how he redefined entertainment, the industry & the American family. We went to get some of our pictures from OMD of things that he & his teams had invented, but they are blurry or my kids are in them. If any of you happen to be in the studios, could you take pics of Walt's accomplishments & post them. I will have her credit you on her project.. or is there a resource that you would suggest that she use?

I just paid for the Xtreme version download, but I'm getting a "need SP1 installed" etc. I've been running ZA on different pc's for years now, but this is a new headache.
I've previously loaded just about every vista update known to man...and I already have SP1 and SP2 on this laptop. I had the same trouble when I tried to use the free firewall...it kept asking for SP1...I gave up and had no problem installing the trial version of the regular internet security suite.
When that ran out, I decided to upgrade to the Xtreme version, and here's that #@! "SP1 needed" window again. Of course, this is happening after I've already paid.
Any tips on this?

The Supporters' Shield is now in the possession of the San Jose Earthquakes.
With Sporting Kansas City's scoreless draw with the New York Red Bulls, the Earthquakes clinched the trophy for the league's best record with two games remaining. San Jose returns to action on Sunday against the LA Galaxy in a match that still holds major playoff seeding implications for LA. With the Shield in their possession, the Earthquakes lock down home-field advantage throughout the MLS Cup Playoffs as well as the MLS Cup Final should they reach that far -- where they'd actually host match remians to be seen -- and a spot in the 2013/2014 CONCACAF Champions League. The Earthquakes also break the Galaxy's streak of two consecutive Shield victories. To this date, no team has ever won the Shield in three consecutive seasons, the Galaxy (2010/2011), Columbus Crew (2008/2009), and D.C. United (2006/2007) have each won the Shield two years in a row.
San Jose's clinching of the Shield could have implications on Sunday's match as head coach Frank Yallop may choose to rest players like the injured Alan Gordon as the team looks ahead to the playoffs. One player that is unlikely to take the pedal off the gas is forward Chris Wondolowski, who is chasing Roy Lassiter's MLS record for goals scored in a single season. Wondolowski's 25 goals are just two off Lassiter's mark of 27, which was set during the 1996 season.
Check out the match preview for Sunday's match from LAGalaxy.com below.

Zach is still a Knick and we just missed on an opportunity to bring Camby back for him
Lee future is still uncertain
Galo is sitting out is second summer league game after a decent showing his first game
Wilson is looking like the steal I felt he just might be!
So you can say this is all a time capsul for me to unlock when I return.
How different do yall think this Knicks team be from what I just described come opening night?
What I need from yall is first some feedback about what you think the roster changes will be, and update this thread with trade and signing information!
Ok enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll see yall opening night tip off......maybe preseason I may not be able to stay away from our team or the the best forum that long!

I'm 71 yrs old and until I got my G15 last year I had lost 30 yards in 3 yrs, I gained back 15 of them with the G15 and never worry about the right side hazard.It draws and gets me 210 and straight!Thinking already of trading it for a Senior flex.Mine is Reg flex,10,5 degrees.Love it
I was a bit hesitant to demo the club at first being a Taylormade Driver fan for years. But I did and am glad I opened my mind. First of all this has to be as forgiving a clubface as available. Off center hits still find the fairway with some distance. When you catch it clean its "bombs away!!!". The clubhead lines up square so after a few swings I was able to go after it a bit and be confident I would find my ball. After my purchase I felt the length was a bit long but after a range session and figuring out the correct ball placement it was like throwing darts into the fairway. I am the longest guy in my group but they have finally caught on and joined the brotherhood of Ping. Key point; get a good fitting from a Ping approved clubfitter as they have too many options to figure out. The nFlight system will get the right shaft and loft into your hands. I have considered getting a backup just in case one of my buddies finds one that looks like mine after a friendly weekend skins beatdown.
I have many drivers, including the I15 and G15 from Ping. I loved the I15 until I hit the G15 this year. It sounds great, feels great and flies high with solid distance and lots of forgiveness. Until recently, I have been inconsistent with my swing this year and the G15 was much better than the I15. Now that I am hitting the ball solid again, it's a toss-up but the sound and feel of the G15 is better. I have the same shaft in both so the difference is obviously in the head of the club. It's too bad that Ping doesn't have the adjustability of other drivers now. Only loft and shaft are variable, but I'm happy for now.
If you're the kind of golfer who fights a slice, frequently misses to the right, or simply can't achieve any degree of consistency with your current driver, then absolutely, you should be looking at the PING G15. If however, you miss, left, or don't miss much at all, then realistically, there is very little reason for you to look at the G15. Fortunately, the K15 and I15 are also part of PING's current driver lineup. If the G15 doesn't suite you, there's a good chance one of those will.We do think the G15 is an excellent choice for the higher handicap golfer, the guy whose idea of workability is "working the ball out of the trees" before hitting his third. For guys who want to shape their shots, or for those looking for a bit more feel from the big dog, the K15 probably isn't ideal.The PING G15 is definitely not a one size fits all driver, but for the guy it does fit, it could prove to be an absolute game changer.
Easy Distance without all the effort. Not as flashy as all the adjustable drivers today, but performance is comparable. Ping has the best sound off the club face.

Commentary: Horse Racing Medication Reform
- Apr 6, 2014
- Topics:
Thoroughbred racing has made progress drafting and promoting tougher sanctions for medication violations across all racing states through the Uniform Medication and Penalty Model Rules.
Photo: Anne M. Eberhardt/The Horse
Eric Mitchell, editorial director and editor-in-chief of The Blood-Horse, shares his thoughts on the state of racehorse medication reform.
Thoroughbred racing has made progress drafting and promoting tougher sanctions for medication violations across all racing states through the Uniform Medication and Penalty Model Rules.
These proposed rules, drafted by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium and the Association of Racing Commissioners International, do include tougher penalties for both trainers and owners, uniform laboratory testing standards, and uniform medication thresholds.
Under the proposed penalty system, for example, a trainer who has his first positive from Class 1 and most Class 2 drugs, which include the most powerful painkillers and substances most likely to influence the outcome of a race, could get a one-year suspension and a fine. A second offense could result in a three-year suspension and a fine while a third offense carries a minimum five-year suspension and a minimum fine of $50,000. If the case involves aggravating circumstances, the fine could rise to $100,000 on the third offense.
Losing your livelihood for a year on a first offense should certainly get a lot of trainers' attention.
The model rules also include new penalties for owners. Whether it is offense number one or number three, the owner will always lose any purse money and his horse will be disqualified. On the first offense for a Category A penalty (involving largely Class 1 and Class 2 drugs), the horse that tested positive will be ineligible to race for 90 days and then must pass a commission-approved examination before being declared eligible to race. On the second offense the suspension is 120 days, and 180 days on the third offense.
While all this effort is laudable, the issue of uniform adoption still faces huge obstacles. To date, four states have taken no action toward even considering the new rules: Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Colorado. So even if every other racing state besides these four were to embrace the new rules fully, U.S. horse racing still would have a regulatory patchwork.
And yet to be determined is whether the new rules ultimately provide true deterrence against cheating.
Horse racing might not get the chance to find out.
The stonewalling by these four states, even though a small minority among 38 racing states, reinforces the biggest criticism against Thoroughbred racing—that it lacks the ability to police itself thoroughly and the collective will to implement real change when necessary.
Horse racing is only slightly better off than the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee in the 1990s. At that time these organizations had no uniform policy on violations, on what was being tested for, the procedure for collection and chain of custody for samples, and varying sanctions for rule violations. What changed the Olympics' course was the formation of the World Anti-Doping Agency, known as WADA. This private organization created a uniform code, which was drafted and revised multiple times in an open and transparent process. The code has since been adopted by 520 sporting organizations and 172 governments.
"There is no reason why this same effort could not be done for the horse racing industry in the U.S.," Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), told a U.S. congressional subcommittee back in 2013. The USADA was formed in 1999 because the U.S. Olympic Committee realized it could not police itself.
Drafting tougher rules is great, but every racing jurisdiction and every association must buy into those rules. Meanwhile, everyone's patience with the sport is threadbare—owners, regulators, and fans.
Oversight by a national organization, perhaps the USADA, may be the only way to right horse racing's badly listing ship. Such a change will elicit bitter and angry cries of protest, to be sure. But look around at what little real reform we've accomplished. It's not like we haven't had the time.

White Sox Fail to Close the Deal
Let's be honest with ourselves. Winning two of three from the Mariners and in the process defeating their two aces, Michael Pineda and Felix Hernandez, is cause for celebration. But the reality is that the Sox can't afford to lose a game like they did last night when it's a tie ballgame going into the ninth with their closer, Sergio Santos, on the hill.
Sure, it's baseball and you can't come through every night, but in the case of the Pale Hose there is simply very little margin for error after their horrendous start.
A victory would have enabled the South Siders to gain a game on both the Indians and Tigers, the two teams they are chasing. As it stands, instead of standing five games behind Cleveland and three and a half in back of Detroit, it's six and four and a half. Much improved from a few weeks ago, but the opportunity was there to shave the leads and the Sox couldn't get it done.
It's not that the Hose didn't show signs of life. Down 4-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth, the Sox tied the score on Carlos Quentin's two-run homer, his second blast of the game and 17th of the season. Unfortunately, the offense stopped there and the Sox lost in 10 innings, 7-4.
Perhaps the most disheartening aspect of the contest was a pattern with which we're all too familiar. Leading off the top of the 10th, Seattle's Justin Smoak blooped a double that fell between Brent Morel and Juan Pierre in left field, which started the three-run rally (pictured above). Presumably Pierre was playing deep in a "no doubles" defense and it really wasn't Morel's play, although he made the effort from his position at third base.
Whether it was anyone's fault or just one of those things, it doesn't matter. If the Sox are to dig out of their early season hole, that play and others like it somehow have to be made.

Jones struggling with throw to second base
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
PITTSBURGH -- Garrett Jones, as a first baseman, appears to have developed a slight case of the yips when he has to make a throw to second base.
The last few times Jones, a left-handed thrower, has had to make a peg to second, his throw has sailed about 10 feet to the left of the bag. The problem surfaced during the Pirates' late-July series in Washington, and it continued Tuesday night.
In the first inning, Jeff Locke picked Christian Yelich off first base -- however, Jones' throw hit second-base umpire Gary Cederstrom in the small of the back. Yelich was credited with a stolen base, and the play did not result in a run in a game the Bucs went on to win, 4-3.
"First base still isn't a comfortable position for him," manager Clint Hurdle said of Jones, who is originally an outfielder but has seen more Major League action at first (323 games) than in the outfield (287). "There's more footwork involved. The outfield footwork does seem more comfortable for him.
"He continues to go out early and work specifically on that throw. He's well-aware of it. It's just a matter of reps and confidence."
Locke learning as league 'counter-punches'
PITTSBURGH -- Because there is no such thing as a perfect world, not even one in which the Pirates own MLB's best record on Aug. 7, we offer these two sets of figures:
(A) 9-3, 2.37 ERA; 28 hits allowed in 20 innings.
(B) 8-2, 2.15 ERA; 28 hits allowed in 22 1/3 innings.
What do they denote? (A) is James McDonald's performance in the first half of last season, followed by his line in his first four starts coming out of the All-Star break. (B) is the same breakdown for Jeff Locke.
An interesting set of circumstances and perhaps unsettling, but no indication that history will repeat. The lefty Locke achieved his first-half success differently than McDonald, who overpowered hitters before the stuff vanished in the blink of an eye (likely affected by shoulder issues from which he is still trying to recover). Locke is a control pitcher, and it's his turn in the adjustment game with Major League hitters.
"It's part of the learning process, facing the different challenges that unfold in this part of the season," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Jeff is experiencing counter-punching from the league."
Locke counter-punched himself Tuesday night after the Marlins had jumped him for eight hits and three runs in two-plus innings. He blanked them on only one more hit over the next 3 2/3, after pitching coach Ray Searage visited the mound to tell him to pick up the pace.
"I'm somebody who needs to work quick on the mound," Locke said. "I'm a get-the-ball-and-go type of guy. Ray chirped at me, 'No thinking. You're going a little slow.' I agree; sometimes you have to take a step back and take a breath, but you don't want to give that guy too many seconds after that last pitch to figure out what might be coming next."
Alvarez proves to be polarizing slugger
PITTSBURGH -- It was a typical game of extremes for Pedro Alvarez. The National League's home run leader thrilled PNC Park fans Tuesday night with his legs instead, bolting out a game-tying RBI triple in the third inning. But in the eighth inning, with a chance to break the 3-3 tie with the Marlins, he took a called third strike with the bases loaded.
It's such swings of fortune, Clint Hurdle said, that make Alvarez one of the Majors' current bona fide sluggers. The operative word being "current."
"These sluggers do tend to be very polarizing. When they hit that ball, everyone loves that 450-foot home run," Hurdle said. "It electrifies people. When they don't do it, when they see them take a strike three with the bases loaded, that just electrocutes people. They go, 'How can he do that to us?'"
Hitters with Alvarez's style have come before -- Reggie Jackson was the prototype, and Hurdle could recall playing in Kansas City with someone from the same mold, Willie Mays Aikens.
The Pirates manager thinks resilience does make his third baseman unique.
"I love Pedro's style," Hurdle said. "He's very self-confident. He understands failure and how to deal with it. He believes in himself. If it doesn't happen one time, he believes he'll make it happen next time. His resiliency is one thing I've enjoyed watching."
Worth noting
• Wandy Rodriguez's Wednesday workout included some light tosses off a mound, and barring any setbacks, he is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session -- about 25 pitches' worth -- on Saturday in Denver.
• Andrew Lambo supporters piqued that 31 homers do not yet have him in the Bucs' clubhouse may not want to hear about Dick Stuart, who hit 66 homers for Lincoln in 1956. Stuart finally made it to the Pirates two years later.
First number, last word
31-4: Pirates' record at home, entering Wednesday's game, when Andrew McCutchen scores at least one run.
"I was looking for him to get on base. And he did -- he got on all four of them." -- Hurdle, on what he hoped for when choosing speedy Josh Harrison to pinch-hit leading off the ninth inning on Tuesday, and what he got, the walk-off homer that beat the Marlins, 4-3.

HOUSTON - Congress faces a Friday deadline to stop a series of automatic spending cuts, known in Washington as the sequester, that pose a threat to jobs, school funding and other services in Texas.
The White House released a list of potential cuts, detailing how each state will be impacted if the $85 billion sequester takes effect.
The Federal Aviation Administration followed suit and released a report listing the names of more than 100 air traffic control towers that will close if the FAA loses funding. The Sugar Land Regional Airport and Lone Star Executive Airport in Houston are among the towers on the list.
According to Sugar Land spokesman Doug Adolph, six air traffic controllers are paid with federal funding. Should those funds dry up, the city will have to make one of two decisions -- find another way to pay the employees or stop air traffic in and out of the Sugar Land Regional Airport.
"It's a significant impact to our economy," said Adolph. "We serve 100 Fortune 500 companies every year and that translates into fuel sales, hangar rentals and even aircraft sales."
U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands) said the effects of the cuts would not be as bad as they sound.
"They seem like they're large, but they're pretty modest," said Brady. "It is the equivalent of asking a 500-pound man to lose 10 pounds. Yes, they're going to complain about it, but it's just a step in the right direction."
Brady doesn't deny that the sequester would also result in the loss of almost $68 million in funding for primary and secondary education in Texas or that more than 9,700 fewer children in the state will receive vaccines. However, he says major programs will not be affected.
"It doesn't touch Social Security or Medicaid. Important programs like children's health insurance, food stamps, welfare, veteran's care, military pay ... none of that is touched by that," said Brady.
President Barack Obama wants Republicans to agree to eliminate tax loopholes for the wealthy to raise more tax revenue. But Republicans argue the resolution to the nation's debt problem isn't raising taxes on the wealthy. Instead, they say the government should spend less and learn to make do with what it's got. Meanwhile, citizens are caught in the middle of the debate.
"They do need to come to some sort of conclusion and work together," Houstonian Merritt Walker said.
"Surely they will posture and make a lot of noise, but they will finally make compromises and get it going," said Jeanne Doornbos.
Lawmakers have until Thursday to do that. If they don't, and the sequester takes effect, the FAA said the Sugar Land Regional Airport tower and the tower at the Lone Star Executive Airport in Houston would close in April.

She came back yesterday and will start shooting her scenes soon. Here she is at the airport with a friend, an older man, and a teenaged boy.Doesn't that guy look like Kristen Stewart's father?
Last night, Nikki and friend showed up at Rob's, and Jackson Rathbone too, but no sign of Kristen, for a little jam session before bedtime. Oh Twi-hards…I know it's what you all want. And I'd be so much more popular if I told you that Rob and Kristen could happen. But they only shot their first scene together last week, have only worked together 3 or 4 days on set, have spent very little time alone in Vancouver… it's a total buzzkill, I'm sorry. Bella and Edward have not walked off the pages. In a few years? Perhaps.

yea I think it is, maybe they were all coming up for Kristens BdayReplyDelete
Lainey is so full of shit....at least about the Nikki/Rob rumors. It is like she is trying to will it to happen.ReplyDelete
Yea, that's Kristen's father and brother.ReplyDelete
I guess they are there for her birthday, but where is Mickey?
I was thinking he would be there for her Bday.
Who is Mickey? Oregano? heheReplyDelete
yep, that wild one with lots of spice? he he heReplyDelete
What's up with Nikki's wardrobe, desperate a bit, no?ReplyDelete
Yea, I guess I would flaunt it around Rob, he is like her personal brand of heroin..
Yes, this it's her father and brother. Shows how much Lainey actually knows. Sources will tell her Rob and Nikki are sleeping together but not who she shows up with at the airport????ReplyDelete
Interesting? So Nikki needed a Fatherly authority for her Rob smack down? She really strikes me as a opportunistic f*** buddy gone amok. Really Rob needs protection from these scheming Hollywood hootchies. Can you imagine how miserable his life will be if they hire that ever needy Drew Barrymore to direct Eclipse? Yikes! He has my sympathy!ReplyDelete
By the way how many scenes can Nikki possibly have? I bet Heidi has more screen time.ReplyDelete
A fan saw Kristen and the Twilight cast at a bar last night and had a picture taken with her in the bathroom (that's where she ran into Kristen). Lainey is full of sh*t.ReplyDelete
I really hate the idea of Rob & Nikki together. I'm not sure if it's her or that I can't give up hope that he & Kristen will fall in love. I know she has a boyfriend, but the dream is still alive.ReplyDelete
19 is the drinking age in Vancouver BC but they usually require two IDs and that you be over 21 if you are from the states. They atarted that policy at least a year ago and it seemed like a coordinated thing not like it was just one or two bars. We noticed it up at Whistler also so it might be a law. Very inconvenient. Maybe they make exceptions for VIPs.ReplyDelete

Her dad came into town for her b-day. Last night the entire crew, Kristen, Nik, Rob, & Jax hung out, Jax pulled a cross-dressing routine to surprise Kristen (he got her a guitar last year), and then they all went out to dinner. Now how is it I know more than Lainey, and she get's paid for this shiz?!ReplyDelete
Rob got her the guitar last year, not Jax, just FYI...ReplyDelete

Obama, Romney take victory laps
President Barack Obama took something of a victory lap on Friday's jobs report in his weekly address, touting the 7.8 percent unemployment rate as the lowest since he took office.
"After losing about 800,000 jobs a month when I took office, our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past two and a half years," Obama said in the address broadcast Saturday. "And on Friday, we learned that the unemployment rate is now at its lowest level since I took office. More Americans are entering the workforce. More Americans are getting jobs."
Story Continued Below
Still, he cautioned, "too many of our friends and neighbors are still looking for work or struggling to pay the bills — many of them since long before this crisis hit."
And in a veiled jab at GOP opponent Mitt Romney, he invoked his campaign slogan, saying, "We owe it to them to keep moving forward.
"We've come too far to turn back now," he said. "And we've made too much progress to return to the policies that got us into this mess in the first place."
Romney, meanwhile, took his own victory lap after his debate win on Wednesday, saying in his weekly podcast that he thinks his policies "compared favorably" to Obama's that night.
"President Obama could not defend his record," Romney said. "He offered no new ideas for how to fix the economy. I welcomed the chance to share my vision for renewed prosperity and opportunity, and I think it compared quite favorably to President Obama's desire for big, trickle-down government."
He also suggested the jobs report was not all it seemed.
"We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office," Romney said. "If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11 percent."

MRSA: Horses and Handlers Are Sharing More Than Quality Time
- Dec 4, 2010
- Topics:
A recent study confirms that strains of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria in found in companion animals--including horses--resemble strains found in humans. According to Frances Moore, DVM, veterinary pathologist, and Sanjay Shukla, PhD, molecular microbiologist at Marshfield Labs and Marshfield Clinical Research Foundation in Marshfield, Wis., this means that horses and humans are likely sharing germs.
More so, Shukla says that the recent study presents detailed genetic characteristics of the MRSA bacteria they found in horses that typically have not been described by previous studies.
Researchers used a variety of samples from several different animals--including horses, dogs, cats, and pig--and from humans, noting whether they shared similar strains of resistant organisms.
Moore hypothesizes that humans were first infected with the MRSA bacteria and passed them on to their animal companions, rather than humans contracting the bacteria from their animals.
"There are strains of MRSA that seem adapted to horses and have been documented in a number of studies, particularly in horses receiving care at large veterinary clinics," Shukla said. "In these circumstances, the MRSA in horses appears to be shared (through) the horse handlers."
Shukla recommends that horse handlers--and not just those in a hospital environment--adhere to some basic guidelines to prevent the spread of MRSA,
- Wash hands with soap and water after exposure to equine mucous membranes or body fluids--after administering oral dewormer, bridling, or cleaning a runny nose, for example;
- Wear protective equipment (i.e., smock, face shield, and gloves) during procedures where the handler is likely to contact body fluids, such as with teeth floating or foaling assistance; and
- Clean all shared equipment (blankets, buckets, feed tubs, etc.) after each use.
The study, "Evidence of multiple virulence subtypes in nosocomial and community-associated MRSA genotypes in companion animals from the upper Midwestern and Northeastern United States," was published in the journal in Clinical Medicine & Research and available online ahead of print at the Journal Web site. The abstract is also available on PubMed.

Heritage Trails
The heritage trails in Massachusetts paint vivid pictures of days past. Yet they are also a great way to explore parts of the state you may not otherwise think to visit.
Surprising every step of the way, and perhaps the most famous heritage trail in the state, is the Freedom Trail. Beginning on Boston Common, where hordes of red-clad British troops once trained, the red-brick Freedom Trail connects 16 Boston landmarks. The Black Heritage Trail is also quite popular, as it explores the history of Boston's 19th-century African-American community. The Salem Heritage Trail is a North Shore favorite: it transports you back to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and the days of sea captains, pirates and noted novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne.

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy made MLS history on Wednesday by becoming the first team to operate a lower division club with the foundation of USL PRO side LA Galaxy II, and head coach Bruce Arena fully expects the rest of the league to follow in the club's footsteps.
On Thursday, USL PRO unveiled the Galaxy II's schedule for the upcoming 2014 season which will begin with their March 22 match against the Los Angeles Blues. Following LA's training session, Arena stated that the creation of LA Galaxy II was a necessary step in the development of the American soccer player.
"We've lacked the next step for academy players or our players that are just outside of our first team. We've had a bit of a black hole in our development. This makes everything more natural," said Arena on Thursday. "A young player can go from the U-18 to the USL team to the first team for those players that need those steps. That's a majority of players so it'll be a benefit for us."
Arena also cleared up a few logistical questions noting that teams will train separately and that he will have "a lot of freedom" as they loan LA first team players back and forth between Galaxy and Galaxy II.
For all the confidence, Arena admits that the experience won't be an easy one, but one that the club expects to pay dividends in the future.
"It's definitely the future," said Arena. "We're going to be guinea pigs in the first year, it's not going to be easy but it'll be good going forward."

Florida citrus at risk
It's not been a good year for Florida's citrus industry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that, for the second year running, the orange crop is expected to be almost 10 percent lower than the previous year.
The culprit is citrus greening, a disease that has devastated Florida's oranges and grapefruits, and has now begun to spread in Texas and California.
Back in the 1950s and '60s, the Florida Citrus Tower was one of the Orlando area's most important tourist attractions.
"You could go up and see thousands and thousands acres of trees," says citrus grower Benny McLean. "And you could buy fresh-squeezed orange juice, or you could buy a bag of navels. So it was a big deal back then."
It all ended with a series of freezes in the 1980s that devastated citrus in Central Florida. In the '83 freeze, 300,000 acres of mature, fruit-bearing orange and grapefruit trees died in a single night. Growers eventually recovered by moving and replanting groves further south.
Citrus greening poses a similar crisis for growers, but one for which so far, there is no solution.
"I can't imagine Florida without commercial citrus," says Harold Browning, director of the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, an industry group that is focused almost entirely on one problem: defeating citrus greening.

World Series Game 5 tidbits
Phillies' Fall Classic win history-making for many reasons
By Brittany Ghiroli / MLB.com
Making history: In the first World Series game to be suspended, the Rays and Phillies concluded the final 3 1/2 innings of Game 5 on Wednesday night. When pinch-hitter Geoff Jenkins stepped into the batter's box at 8:40 p.m. ET to resume the game in the bottom of the sixth, 46 hours had passed since the first pitch was tossed on Monday night.
Perfect in Philly: The Phillies won all six home games of their postseason, becoming just the second team to win all of its home games since the advent of three rounds of postseason play. This year's Phillies joined the 1999 Yankees in completing that feat.
|Since the LCS began in 1969, nine teams have gone undefeated at home in the postseason.
Untouchable Lidge: With a scoreless ninth, Phillies closer Brad Lidge completed a perfect season of converting saves. Lidge recorded his second World Series save and his seventh of the postseason on Wednesday night, going a perfect 48-for-48, dating back to Opening Day 2008.
Hamels is MVP: Game 5 starter Cole Hamels was named MVP of the 2008 World Series. Hamels started Game 5 on Monday, but he did not record a decision, going 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two World Series starts.
Twice as nice: Hamels earned MVP honors for the second time in the playoffs. The dominating lefty was also MVP of the National League Championship Series, and is now one of just five players in World Series history to earn MVP honors twice in one postseason.
Race to the plate: For the fifth straight game in the World Series, the team that scored first went on to win. Philadelphia plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, marking the fifth straight game a team scored a run in the first inning.
|Five players have been named MVP of a League Championship Series and World Series in the same season.
|Cole Hamels
|Livan Hernandez
|Orel Hershiser
|Darrell Porter
|Willie Stargell
Breaking out the bats: Rays sluggers Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria collected their first hit of the series in Game 5's first half on Monday. Pena snapped an 0-for-14 series skid with a fourth inning one-out double, and Longoria followed with an RBI single to score Pena. Longoria was 0-for-18 before the hit.
National League on top: The Phillies' win gave the NL its 43 World Series title, the first since 2006. Philadelphia also became just the third team since 2002 to become World Series champions. The American League still leads the all-time list with 61 titles.
Blanton's bat headed to Cooperstown: Following Sunday night's Game 4 win, Phillies starter Joe Blanton donated the bat he used to hit a solo home run to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Blanton became the first pitcher in 34 years to homer in a World Series game since Oakland's Ken Holtzman did so in the 1974 Fall Classic. An exhibit dedicated to the 2008 World Series will open in approximately two weeks in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Downtown residents are getting a long-awaited natural-food grocery store, and it will be locally owned and operated.
Jimbo's…Naturally! will become downtown San Diego's first natural food grocer when it opens next summer in Westfield Horton Plaza.
The company, headquartered in Carmel Valley, will be opening what will be its fifth store in 2013 at the Nordstrom end of the shopping center. Jim "Jimbo" Someck, the company's founder and president, posted the news on the company's Facebook page this week, drawing more than 70 enthusiastic comments. "Best news I've heard ALL DAY!!" wrote Whitney Benjamin.
"Oh my god that is the COOLEST thing ever! Now... if you can just open about 1000 other stores we can stop all this cold calling," wrote Kristen Buchanan.
Someck posted a letter to customers:
I opened my original Jimbo's store in North Park, but subsequently sold it in 1997. Since then, I have had numerous customer requests to either return to that area or perhaps to the downtown area. I personally have felt a strong desire to be back down south and have looked fruitlessly for a site over the last few years. However, we now have the site we have been looking for, and are looking forward to being able to serve the downtown area with the same high quality food and service that we have always strived to achieve.
The 28,000-square-foot store will be on the mezzanine level, taking up part of the space once used by Mervyns department store. It will be the chain's largest store. The current locations are in Carmel Valley, Escondido, Carlsbad and 4S Ranch.
This will be the first urban Jimbo's store. Urban consumers tend to shop more frequently and spend less per trip than suburban shoppers, so one consideration was making it easy to get in and out of the store.
Someck said that he first looked at the Horton Plaza space about a year ago on the advice of his broker. At that time, he ruled it out because of logistical issues, such as how to get shopping carts to and from the parking garage.
Westfield officials responded to his concerns by drafting a set of plans for how the store would fit in with the mall environment. The Australian mall operator also offered to invest millions in preparing the mall with new escalators, elevators and a "Vermaport," which is an escalator for shopping carts.
Under the plan, downtown residents will be able to access the store by taking the elevator up from a First Avenue entrance. Visitors will be able to park in about 80 preferred spaces on Level 4 of the G Street garage, which is one level up from the store.
"I was pretty much blown away by the renderings, and how they addressed the concerns that I mentioned," Someck said. "There are going to be challenges but we are truly excited about the opportunity, and believe we can get our message out about who we are and what we do to downtown."
Westfield's strategy is to create a one-stop-shop environment where consumers can get everything done in one trip, said Tom Tierney, a senior vice president for Westfield. That can mean augmenting the retail mix with amenities such as grocery stores, drugstores, florists or tailors, he said.
The mall operator saw an opportunity to offer a grocery store in its Gaslamp mall because downtown has few options for food shopping, he said. "We really try to partner with brands who do it right," Tierney said. "Jimbo's is really the best in class in San Diego County for natural food stores."
Two local Westfield malls already have a grocery component: Plaza Bonita in National City and Mission Valley, which have Target stores with large food sections. There will also be a grocery section in the Target store being constructed at Westfield North County.
Jimbo's is best known for its large selection of local and organic produce, as well as hormone-free beef, poultry and pork. The Horton Plaza store will offer a large selection of prepared food and deli items. There will also be a made-from-scratch bakery, a juice bar, and wine and cheese sections.
Jimbo's was just named Whole Foods Magazine's "Retailer of the Year" for 2012 and was just recognized by the Natural Products Association as the winner of this year's Socially Responsible Retailer Award.
