With most of today's so-called compact SUVs bulking up to the size of yesterday's midsizers, finding a truly small crossover SUV can be a bit of a challenge, especially in the premium brand arena. But now that BMW has brought the X1 to the United States, shoppers have a truly compact BMW crossover to consider.
The BMW X1 may be lean, but its fun-to-drive personality is certainly plus-sized. Nearly 7 inches shorter in length and 5 inches shorter in height than its "compact" X3 sibling, the X1 also weighs about 400 pounds less and sports the same muscular engine choices. This imbues it with nimble handling and quick acceleration. The main downsides are that backseat and cargo space aren't abundant, and the price can escalate quickly. But overall the BMW X1 is a great alternative for sport sedan enthusiasts who'd like more utility -- or crossover fans who disagree that bigger is better.
Current BMW X1
The BMW X1 is offered in sDrive28i, xDrive28i and xDrive35i trim levels, where "sDrive" means rear-wheel drive and "xDrive" means all-wheel drive.
The 28i versions come with a turbocharged 2.0 liter inline-4 that generates 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The AWD-only 35i packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 with 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. An eight-speed automatic is standard for the four-cylinder, while the 35i's six-cylinder is matched to a six-speed automatic.
Standard feature highlights of the 28i trims include 17-inch wheels, automatic climate control, leatherette upholstery, Bluetooth phone connectivity, the iDrive electronics interface and an eight-speaker sound system with an iPod/USB interface. The xDrive35i adds 18-inch wheels, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, a panoramic sunroof and eight-way power front seats.
Desirable options are generally bundled in packages and include keyless ignition and entry, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a navigation system with a larger display and a rearview camera. There's also a trio of "Design Lines" that add various cosmetic and performance-enhancing features, notably the M Sport with its aero body kit, sport-tuned suspension and highly supportive sport seats.
In reviews, our editors have found the turbocharged four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic to be a perfect match for the X1's nimble character. There's always plenty of power on tap, and highway fuel economy is well over 30 mpg according to the EPA. The six-cylinder model is swifter, of course, but it's probably not worth the efficiency trade-off for most people.
Even without the optional M Sport suspension, the X1 feels significantly more agile and responsive than BMW's X3, thanks to its smaller dimensions and lower center of gravity. Despite this sporty demeanor, the X1 also provides a fairly compliant ride that should please most shoppers in this segment. Rear passenger space is limited, however, and the baby Bimmer offers about 25 percent less cargo capacity than the X3. If you can live with that, the X1 is otherwise a pretty compelling overall package.

This year's goals are so simple that I feel silly publishing this post! I'll follow up with an implementation plan later this week.
1) My first priority in 2014 is to continue to develop my relationship with my boyfriend. Things are going great and I want to continue to prioritize that.
2) Rock out at my new job. Without the high-paying job I have, I wouldn't be able to accomplish any of my financial goals.
3) Max out all tax-advantaged accounts available to me. This means $17,500 to my 401(k), $5,500 to the Roth IRA on January 2nd from savings and $5,500 to a savings account to fund the 2015 Roth IRA.
4) Pay down the mortgage. I would like to get it under $91,284.28. That should keep me on track to paying it off by the end of 2015.
5) Spend less than $39,000 for the year. If I can accomplish this, it would be my cheapest year since graduating from college! This would map out to 4.4 years of expenses saved up, which is about 17.6% of the way to FI if you count it as having 25x annual expenses saved up.
Overall, I'm anticipating a net worth increase of about $115,000 for the year to increase my net worth to about $465,000. (For reference, I expect my gross income in 2014 to be between $160,000 and $190,000.)

Currently in read only mode, sorry about that, please try again in a few hours.
Independent journalism can still be a profitable profession. While big media groups are struggling to come to terms with the digital age, sassy and enthusiastic young writers are quietly earning a living by supplementing their expertise with events and consulting services and by building their reputations as connectors and pundits.
The UK's media landscape is changing at a disorientating pace. But by marrying the attention to detail and respect for accuracy of old media with the agility and liveliness of the blogosphere, there are more opportunities for enterprising writers to make their name and make a living than ever before.
In this class, Milo Yiannopoulos will share his experiences setting up The Kernel, giving you a peek behind the scenes of Europe's newest technology publication, explaining what's worked... as well as what hasn't.

I'm extremely excited to announce a new passionate BlackBerry enthusiast to our team. Give me a hand in welcoming Jubei Raziel to the CrackBerry blogs!!
Since Friday I've received over 40 emails from hopeful candidates in response to my call for new passionate blood on CrackBerry. I'm still reading through all of the applications and need to get back to a lot of people, but Jubei's application was one of the first to come through and the decision to bring him onboard was immediate.
Jubei is a passionate BlackBerry fan, tech enthusiast and console gamer who spends a lot of time in CrackBerry's forums. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times last year when CrackBerry took its HQ to NYC for two months. Also an accomplished photographer, filmmaker and novelist, Jubei actually showed up at our CrackBerry NYC Party and took awesome photos all night long. And if Jubei looks familiar to you, it could be because you've seen photos of him in GQ, Maxim, Cosmopolitan and DNR —his experience with photography and video began as a high fashion model. Basically, Jubei is the perfect weapon when it comes to tech blogging. :)
You won't have to wait long to see Jubei's articles start appearing on CrackBerry. In fact, he started today and hit the ground RUNNING. Living in Manhattan, Jubei attended today's BlackBerry Experience NYC event. Only his first day of duty and he already met BlackBerry CEO, John Chen, along with John Sims (head of enterprise), Marty Mallick (head of apps) and other senior execs on the BlackBerry team. You can't beat that! As I post this he's working on his first post following up on this morning's event.
You won't find Jubei in the social sphere (which is kind of awesome), but for more on him you can check out his personal site at JubeiRaziel.com and of course talk to him here on the CrackBerry blogs and in the forums.
Welcome to the team, Jubei!

One hundred and twenty-five cars jammed the Big R pit area last Friday night. The action was hot and heavy throughout the six-feature program that entertained the packed house on the grandstands side for the July 30 Grelak Mechanical/WGR 550 program at the Western New York oval.
Ryan Susice of Ransomville took top honors aboard the 50-lap Sportsman Nationals main event at Ransomville Speedway. Susice took the lead away from Mark Potter on lap 11 and quickly checked out on the field aboard his Investors Services-sponsored No. 38. Susice's win was the first for him in 2010 at Ransomville Speedway.
Jipp Ortiz advanced from his ninth place starting position and came home in second aboard his Original Pizza Logs-sponsored No. 0. Ortiz ran all alone in second but was unable to mount a challenge on the highflying Susice. Cody McPherson finished in third followed by Don Spatorico and Potter.
Tommy Flannagan of St. Catharines, Ontario, captured his first win of the 2010 season at the Big R aboard the Mighty Taco Modified 30-lap feature main. Flannagan dueled with Chad Brachmann through the final 10 circuits, with the pair swapping the top spots several times. Scott Kerwin joined the fray with two laps to go, giving the fans a race to end all races. Flannagan would hold onto the win aboard his No. 72 machine. Brachmann, Kerwin, Pete Bicknell and Todd Burley rounded out the top five.
Charles Harvey of Ransomville took top honors aboard the first Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock main event. Harvey took the lead early on and held off persistent challenges by Chris Burek throughout the race. Harvey collected his second win of the season in an action-packed event, which left two of the top five spin around in turn two on the final lap. Burek, Scott Krull, Kevin House and Andy Smith rounded out the top five.
Roger Israel of Wilson became the 14th different winner aboard the second 15-lap Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock main. Israel took the lead at the drop of the green and held off persistent challenges by Don Rappleyea in the closing laps. Rappleyea settled for second, followed by Mark Loveland, Pat Dell, and Mike Greenawalt.
Steve Doell of Irondeqouit took top honors aboard the Original Pizza Logs Micro Sprint main event. Doell took the lead at the drop of the green and was never seriously challenged aboard his All Pro Painting-sponsored No. 36. A three-car battle between Ryan Greth, Tyler Walker, and Nick Cooper resulted in Greth securing the spot on lap 15. As Doell took the win ahead of 23 strong, Daryl Ruggles and Greth rounded out the top three.
Jim Stone of the Ransomville Firehall took top honors for the second time in 2010 aboard the Firehall Enduro 12-lap main. Stone and Hoyt Desso battled in the final circuits, with Stone getting the edge with just one to go. Stone took the win over Mark Brown and Desso.
Pit Notes
The Ransomville Lions will host its annual Lions Night at the Races, Friday, Aug. 20 at Ransomville Speedway.
Lion Tina Clark reports the event benefits the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Program.
"This year we are doing things a little different and would like to offer a VIP package for $25, which includes tower seating in the VIP tower area room, admission to the pit area, catering of snacks such as nachos and cheese, popcorn, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and ice-cold canned beer throughout the evening. This provides you the opportunity to be out of the elements and in the comfort of a dust-free air-conditioned room to watch the races," says Clark. "VIP package tickets are limited and go fast."
Clark notes there's also the grandstand admission package for the event. Tickets cost $15 each and includes grandstand admission, a picnic dinner under the pavilion, ice-cold soda, beer, and lots of fun.
All proceeds from Lions Night at the Races are donated to Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service, Clark adds. "Last year, the annual Lions Night at the Races raised approximately $350 for the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service. This year, our goal is to raise $500 for the NFRRS. Will you help us make this year a success?"
Tickets will not be sold at the door. Those interested in purchasing tickets can contact Lion Betty Clark at 791-4628 or email Lion Tina Clark at [email protected]

This car is a stretch converted Model 53A sedan with a 1970 Lincoln front end. It was a one-off limousine custom built for comedian Jackie Gleason. Some of the features on the car was a bright framed thin horizontal-bar grill that partially concealed the headlights. It had a rear-mounted spare tire that extended into a deep bumper pocket. In the rear was a power-operated sun roof and built into the windshield header was a wide angle rear view mirror to possibly help eliminate blind spots.

Basically, I'm trawling through eBay for one as I'm looking to jailbreak it and install XBMC because it's not quite ready for iOS5 and the jailbreak is only tethered currently. I've spotted an unopened Apple TV 2 on eBay. Did any come shipped with iOS5? This device was bought around January of this year. It's ridiculous the jailbraked devices on eBay are at an extortionate price.

Are you tired of the stock Android look and feel on your HTC One? If you are adventurous, you might want to try changing ROMs. XDA forum member adyscorpius has released the Miui V5 ROM that works with the HTC One. While this might not be for everyone it sure does look beautiful and gives your device a unique look.
For those who don't know yet, Miui is an aftermarket ROM that is based on CyanogenMod. It is a Chinese developed ROM that was originally used for Xiaomi Android devices. Because of its excellent features, it soon found its way into other devices. One advantage of this ROM is its speed, thus you will immediately feel the difference once you use your device.
While Miui V5 is now available for the HTC One, adyscorpius says that there are still a few bugs that needs to be ironed out and will get fixed by next week. Some of the bugs are listed below.
- NFC maybe, not tested!
- Bluetooth (similar to CM)
- Signal strength shown needs to be fixed. RIL is fine otherwise.
- Xposed Installer isn't compatible with MIUI because they both make changes at the same location. Avoid using it or you might end up with bootloops.
If you are interested in using this ROM then I suggest you backup your data first.
You will first need to have your device rooted, have the bootloader unlocked, and flash a custom recovery. Of course, all of these will void your warranty.
Here's how to install Miui 5 on your HTC One
- Push zip file to sdcard or Download on phone
- Download Gapps
- Reboot to recovery.
- Wipe data (Factory Reset)
- Flash both the zip files. Flash any other zip files of your choice
- Reboot
The links to the files that you will need can be found at the original forum post.

This I believe, that there are many forms of love. This may seem obvious to most people but for me it has never been easy to believe. Even when I was little I never thought my own father loved me. He always had something better to do than to be with me. At first, my parents were split up and I never saw him, he was always doing something else. I never knew what it was, but it always seemed to be more important than me. So when I finally got to spend time with him, it was always doing work. We would go on long trips to get firewood to last through the winter. As an 8 year old kid this was rough, not ever knowing that my dad cared about me. As I got older similar things continued to happen. My dad still continued to work a full time job; he also picked up a hobby or part time job to go with it. My dad also decided to start a small ranch making the time we spend together slim to none. The only time I would see him would be the time I was helping him on the ranch. Where he would be yelling at me for not doing anything right, he would tell me I was worthless and all other kinds of things. Once again he put me number two behind everything else. My view of love was very narrow in thinking that love is something expressed by saying I love you, and spending time together. Now I have come to believe that my father loves me. This has come from me learning to love people by simply serving them. This took me leaving for two years to do service for others to realize that my dad was serving me because he loves me. He wasn't putting me number two he was putting me number one. He was always working to support me; he was getting extra wood to keep me warm. He started a farm to bring in extra things to help me be more comfortable. He was forgetting himself and serving his family. I was always so worried about myself that I never stopped to think of why he was doing what he was. Then it all changed, for the first time I was now in his shoes serving others and struggling to find enough time in the day to do everything I wanted to do. I was now worried about others and how I could help them. I would do anything to help them progress, even if I had to work like crazy. I think it is almost human nature for us to become so focused on ourselves that we forget about everyone around us. My dad has helped me realize that there are many forms of love and they can be expressed in many different ways.

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

I'm really enjoying my maths module at the moment. Our teacher is very clever in the way he makes us understand areas of maths that I had found difficult before. He is very patient and explains things brilliantly, something that I have never had before. I would love to qualify as an accountant because I love maths so much! My dream would be to combine accountancy with my love of the media industry and maybe work for an entertainment company, that would be great!

Business Intelligence needs to get more strategic.
I would like to focus in the next few posts on a specific knowledge-related activity: Business Intelligence (BI).
I will start by quoting the following article. It introduces very well what BI can ultimately enable at the retail end of a supply chain. A question I am asking myself is: If relatively mass market companies eventually manage to provide tailored products and services to individuals, how will luxury market companies respond to maintain their competitive advantage in terms of personalized products and /or services?
Science fiction business is not so alien : The futuristic technology used by shops in the film Minority Report is not very far from current reality
James Murray, IT Week, 28 Feb 2006
When starting work on his 2002 sci-fi film Minority Report, one of director Steven Spielberg's first acts was to invite a team of scientists, philosophers and designers to a "think tank summit" to envisage how the world would look in 2054.
[…] the summit proved pretty effective and the depiction of a dystopian society where all advertising is tailored to the individual customer is looking more prophetic with each passing year.
Minority Report's vision of a world where people walk into Gap to be faced by holographic staff who greet them by name and ask how they're getting on with their past purchases is intended as a nightmare scenario […]. But the fact Gap, as well as Guinness, Bulgari and Lexus, agreed to be involved suggests that this concept of individualised marketing is less a horror story, more a model of corporate efficiency.
The fictional systems that in Minority Report allow firms to tailor adverts to customers' tastes are only an extreme version of analytical business intelligence (BI) tools that are already available and being embraced by many firms.
Even before 19th century department store mogul John Wanamaker complained, "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half," firms were looking for ways to guarantee returns on marketing. But in the last few years, evolving analytical reporting tools coupled with an exponential increase in computing power have resulted in BI systems that provide an answer to this age-old dilemma.
The latest generation of BI tools can analyse massive data warehouses to give firms a much better insight into customers' habits and work out which buyers to target with which products. Online vendors such as Amazon were among the first to use this functionality to recommend items based on preferences of similar customers, but such systems are now being widely used in traditional shops to optimise pricing and marketing.
Applying the same BI capabilities to internal data has also given firms real-time information on supply chains and performance, allowing them to optimise processes. For example, several US clothing firms now analyse demographic and sales data in such depth that they can tweak supply chains so that the right clothes always go to the right stores. New York gets extra Armani suits and Florida receives all the surplus XXL Bon Jovi T-shirts.
This level of insight may make privacy advocates nervous, but according to recent reports, the way BI systems help optimise almost every aspect of companies' operations – from production, through the supply chain to marketing – means those with a BI strategy are already outperforming those without […].

MovieCat! - Movie Trivia Game Review
It's not often that we delve in to a quiz-based game and it's not that they're not fun, it's just that they tend to be fairly lazy in their approach. MovieCat! by OtherWise Games shows that quiz games don't require an insane amount of knowledge on a particular subject to be fun and by using a pub video-quiz style with some clever categories it manages to remain fresh and exciting each time you play.

"We're still in the early stages, in terms of people embracing video as a marketing strategy. But we will see that number grow significantly," said Lou McErlean, VP-sales and marketing for MCD Communications, a Dallas-based company that develops video content linked to e-mails.
The advantages of using online video to reach business customers include the creation of a more involving experience, the ability to repurpose existing video assets, the opportunity to take advantage of broadband connections in the workplace and the potential to do extensive tracking of a viewer's interactions.
The disadvantages include the cost of producing video and the relative newness of the technology, which can lead to glitches when the video is deployed across different sites and platforms.
For marketers that already have video assets, it's relatively simple to repurpose this content for use online, either as a banner or even in a full-screen format. Top b-to-b Web sites such as CNBC, MSN and BusinessWeek.com work with third-party vendors such as Unicast, EyeBlaster and PointRoll to deliver video in ads for a premium of several dollars per CPM. And on-demand video environments where ads can be placed are becoming increasingly common on sites such as ESPN.com, CNet.com and ABCNews.com.
Chris Morrison, a project manager with Wunderman Interactive in London, recently started using EyeBlaster's video ad banners for a document management solutions company as a of repurposing its TV spot. One goal of the campaign was to engage the attention of consumers who might ignore a typical banner ad.
"You could have the flashiest standard 468 by 60 ad banner, but people still know it's a standard banner," said Morrison. "All of a sudden, with this new format, you have a video that users know they can engage with."
EyeBlaster's technology downloads a small initial piece of content to a page and then downloads the video content in the background before asking users to click on a play button to view the video clip.
Morrison pointed out that he can track such things as how much video a user viewed, whether they paused or rewound the clip and what they did afterward.
"It's a very rich ad unit," Morrison said.
Unicast recently introduced a full-screen ad unit called the Video Commercial that plays up to 30 seconds of broadcast-quality video as users move between pages of a site.
AT&T Corp. ran Video Commercials for its business services across a number of sites, including areas of About.com, AccuWeather.com, MSN.com and Forbes.com. The commercial reused video shot for the telecommunication company's "Can Your Network Do This?" campaign, which appeared on TV at the same time, and contained links at the end for users to find out more about AT&T's solutions.
Jay Krihak, a partner at Digital Edge, the agency that developed and bought the video ads for AT&T, said that online video is starting to become an important tool for b-to-b marketers for both branding and direct response.
"If you think of video as content, we're just looking at the Web as just another platform on which to distribute," Krihak said.
A research study conducted after the campaign showed that the AT&T ads increased purchase intent by 55% and association of the company with its core message by 41%, both results being significantly better than those for campaigns not using online video. In addition, a relatively low 24% of users said they found the ad annoying.
Since Unicast introduced the new ad format in March, b-to-b marketers that have used it to reach customers include Verizon, WebMD Corp., Nextel Communications, Brown Co., ING and Wachovia Corp., according to Unicast.
Allie Savarino, VP-global marketing at Unicast, said that while marketers are mostly repurposing existing video content for their online commercials, she predicted more companies will shift to making customized videos by the end of the year.
"For business-to-business marketers, this might mean product demonstration videos and other examples that get across deeper elements of their products and services to customers," Savarino said.
Others, however, said that the cost of producing video is still likely to be prohibitive for most marketers.
"Video production is still too expensive to create and stream to use for marketing purposes. I see businesses spending far more on paid inclusion and commercial searches than on video," said Kelly Ring, an analyst with Yankee Group.
One company that's had some success getting marketers to invest in producing videos for marketing purposes is MCD Communications.
MCD, which began as a radio production studio, developed a product two-and-a-half years ago called ElectroMail that sends e-mails to potential customers with links to video that's been specifically shot for a particular campaign. B-to-b clients that have had success with ElectroMail include event marketers such as the American Airlines Center in Dallas and the SBC Cotton Bowl.
A typical ElectroMail package costs between $5,000 and $20,000.
"It's more expensive than normal advertising, but the returns we're receiving versus our typical marketing products are much greater, as far as people contacting us to want to know more," said Brad Mayne, president of Center Operating Co., which manages the American Airlines Center.
Tracking video watchers
The company's objective was to sell high-priced corporate suites and box seats to its sporting events, and MCD shot video of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban inviting potential customers to check out the arena and see the benefits of premium seating. Other areas of the message contained video testimonials from current suite owners, as well as slides showing the luxury suites and box seats.
Slightly different messages were sent to about 6,000 people in Center Operating's customer database, and the company was able to track which videos, if any, each customer had seen, and also whether they had clicked on the contact information included in the message.
The results were that Center Operating was able to sell enough premium seating in a month to cover the cost of producing and sending out the video ads, which Mayne said was "under $50,000," as well as double the number of one-on-one meetings with potential luxury suite buyers it had set up at this time last year using traditional direct mail efforts.
The tracking capability also enabled salespeople following up with customers by phone to know how much the customers already knew about the product and direct the conversation accordingly.
Mayne said he plans to use ElectroMail in the future for group sales and other special events.
"Because the medium is so new, it can really jazz up even the projects that seem the most boring," McErlean said.

How've you girls been? here are a few shots that i took recently of my room for inspiration! i hope that i somehow magically inspire pretty much ANYONE to give their bedroom/home just a little bit more care. i'm a person who spends a lot of time and i mean a loooot , in my room , so i like to keep it a comfortable place and environment for me to rest , i've been obsessed with candles recently , mostly bath and body works ones , i love the frosted cupcake , warm vanilla , dark kiss , and i also love the freshly picked (peach) version. i even sometimes use fragrance oil instead , which does pretty much the same job but usually they carry much heavier scents and they require extra care since u should always check on it and change the oil etq.. i think candles and scents generally have a wonderful impact on my mood and they're a great transformation for a room . i feel like my room suddenly turned into a luxurious deliciously scented spa and that automatically calms me down and just makes me feel great !! .. wow i just realized i'm a very spiritual person haha.. talk to you girls veeery soon. xx

Transform Your Shorts DYI
All you need for this is an Ex loved pair of shorts , fabric glue , a pair of scissors , and a lace fabric the size of the side you want to cover. second place the fabric on the area , measure it and then cut it as you want . then u apply the glue to the fabric , wait for about 10 minutes till it gets tacky and then place the fabric on the shorts, and i'd recommend not wearing the shorts this entire day. and also make sure you're using fabric glue and nothing else so that the fabric doesn't come out after it's washed. and be GENEROUS with the glue i tried using minimal amount and the fabric didn't stick well the first time i had to re-apply . so i'm not saying dip the fabric in glue haha, but put enough amount for it to stick . and
good luck girls x

CUA School of Philosophy's 2006 Fall Lecture Series to Explore Thought, Writings of Saint Augustine
WASHINGTON - The School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America will dedicate its 39th annual Fall Lecture Series to the study of Saint Augustine, a pre-eminent influence in the development of western Christianity.
Titled "Augustine and Augustinianism," the fall event is one of the longest, continuously-running major philosophy lecture series in the country. The lectures, which are free and open to the public, will be presented by 11 scholars from the United States and abroad. The first lecture will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 8, in the Life Cycle Institute Auditorium at CUA.
The fall 2006 series will examine the philosophy, theology, political theory and lasting influence of Saint Augustine, a renowned early Christian thinker who integrated many elements of Platonic philosophy with Christian thought. Known for his theological reflections on the Trinity, creation, sin and salvation, among a host of other groundbreaking ideas, Saint Augustine was "the first Western thinker to reflect deeply on the human will, as a faculty and its freedom," says CUA Professor Kevin White, who opens the series with a lecture titled "Augustine on Number and Species."
"We have some of the best scholars working on some of the most important figures in the history of thought gathered for this series," says Rev. Kurt Pritzl, O.P., dean of CUA's philosophy school.
All the lectures will be held Fridays at 2 p.m. in the Life Cycle Institute Auditorium located on CUA's campus at 620 Michigan Ave., N.E. The dates, names of the speakers and the titles of their lectures follow.

The School of Philosophy is one of only three philosophy faculties in the country organized as a separate school, along with those at Cornell and the University of Southern California. The school is unique for courses and scholarship grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition with an abiding concern for the relation between faith and reason, the intelligibility of nature and the possibility of an ethics and political philosophy based on rational insight into human nature.
The lecture series, offered each year since 1967, is made possible by a grant from the Franklin J. Matchette Foundation and support from the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation and the George Dougherty Foundation.

Phlegm often accompanies colds and other upper respiratory infections. While not a serious health problem, if phlegm is not treated timely, it can clog and irritate the bronchial tubes and in turn cause a secondary upper respiratory infection.
The presence of phlegm is usually indicated by a constant need for throat clearing, constant cough, runny nose, difficulty breathing, feeling weak and, in some cases, fever. Phlegm tends to collect and congest in the chest and throat and is usually expelled through coughing.
Phlegm contains the bacteria, virus or inflammatory cells produced in response to an infection. In addition to infections such as the common cold, flu and bronchitis, phlegm can be caused by an allergic reaction to irritants such as in asthma and hay fever, damaged vocal cords, and excessive smoking.
Dealing with phlegm can be incredibly frustrating and seemingly never ending. But there are effective, natural home remedies that work quickly and without causing side effects.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for phlegm.
1. Steam
Steam inhalation is the best and the simplest way to get rid of phlegm. Inhaling steam into the nasal passages helps keep phlegm in liquid form so it is easier to eliminate from your system.
- Take a steam shower twice daily. Turn your shower to full heat and stay in the closed bathroom for 10 minutes to help break up the mucus. Be sure to moisturize your body after, as warm water robs your skin of essential oils and moisture.
- Alternatively, pour hot boiling water in a large bowl. Hold a towel over your head and inhale the steam for five to 10 minutes. This will help loosen the secretions in your lungs. You can use this simple remedy several times a day.
2. Salt Water
Gargling with warm salt water is another easy way to treat phlegm. While warm water is soothing for an irritated throat, salt helps destroy bacteria that may be causing your infection and therefore reduces production of phlegm.
- Mix one-fourth teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.
- Gargle with the solution.
- Repeat this remedy several times a day.
3. Lemon Juice
Lemon is a great ingredient for loosening mucus and phlegm. Plus, lemon's antibacterial property and high vitamin C content improves the body's resistance to infections.
- Add two teaspoons of lemon juice and one tablespoon of honey to a glass of hot water. Drink this at least three times a day to soothe your throat and reduce phlegm production.
- Another simple option is to cut a slice of lemon, sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on it and then suck on the lemon slice. It will help force the phlegm out of your throat. Do this two or three times a day.
4. Ginger
Ginger is a natural decongestant and has been used to fight off throat and respiratory tract infections for ages.
Also, the antiviral, antibacterial and expectorant properties present in ginger ease congestion in the throat and chest to help you breathe easier.
- Add one tablespoon of fresh ginger slices to one cup of boiled water. Steep for a few minutes and then add two teaspoons of honey. Drink this soothing ginger tea several times throughout the day.
- Alternatively, chew raw ginger slices several times a day and add ginger to your dishes.
5. Turmeric
Turmeric has strong antiseptic properties that help reduce phlegm by killing the bacteria that cause excessive mucus production. Also, turmeric helps strengthen the immune system.
- Add one teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of hot milk. Drink it once in the morning and again before going to bed.
- Swallow one-half teaspoon of turmeric with a glass of water two or three times a day.
- Add one tablespoon of turmeric and a pinch of salt to a glass of hot water. Use it to gargle several times a day.
6. Chicken Soup
Warm chicken soup can also help treat phlegm. Hot chicken soup will help moisturize the airways and thin the consistency of the phlegm. It will also soothe an irritated throat and induce relaxation.
Have some chicken soup at least two or three times a day to clear phlegm from your throat. For increased benefits, add ginger and garlic to the soup. Homemade soup is often more effective than canned soup, which has preservatives.

Top 7 Pubs In Nashville
Nashville is mainly known for its music legends and the way that it has connected with the people that love country music. However, like all the major cities the city does have a popular and ever growing pub scene. You just have to make sure you know about the top 7 pubs in Nashville to have a great time.
If you want to explore more of Nashville outside of the pubs scenes, then check out our Nashville travel page.
7. Flying Saucer Draught Emporium @FlyingSaucerNashville -
The Flying Saucer is a place that is stylish, trendy, and has some of the best food that you can find in a pub. The location has good atmosphere and a relaxing place for you to sit down and enjoy some food and a drink. Our favorite drink from here is the Piraat which is a seasonal, but great drink.
6. The Row @TheRowNashville -
The Row is a place that has really won the hearts of a lot of people with how well it is ran and the food. Throw in the live music and it is easy to see why the Row is a place that you are going to love to stop at. Our favorite dish off of the menu is Smoked Ribeye Steak, that has to be one of the most amazing steaks we have eaten outside of the traditional steakhouses.
5. Donelson Pub @ThePubofDonelson -
Normally when you think of a pub you will find they are generally Irish or English. However, Donelson is a place that has kept with the old school American feel and has the great feel that you would expect. Throw in the safety factor and you can see why this place is a great stop.
4. Hillwood Pub @hillwoodpubnash -
Hillwood is located on the West side of town, but it is a great place to go to. The pub has a wide selection of beers and fantastic food. When we go to the Hillwood we love to go on Monday when it is 6 dollar burger day!
3. Pub5 @Pub5Nashville -
Pub5 is a location that is downtown, but they do not have on site parking which is the drawback that we found. However, we love the food and the atmosphere so it definitely makes our list of the best pubs in Nashville. The food that we like from the pub is the Lamb Burger.
2. McNamara's Irish Pub @ -
Gaelic food is what you want and that is what you are going to get when you look at McNamara's Irish Pub. This is a location that people are going to love and want to eat at time and time again for the great food and fantastic pub atmosphere. With that being said, our favorite dish is the Clare Coastal Chicken.
1. Fleet Street Pub @fleetstreetpub -
Fleet Street Pub is a place that you can really fall in love with. They have the strong and classic touch of an English pub, but the graceful elegance you would expect to see. Our favorite dish from the menu is the old pub standard of fish and chips!

AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Matt Lauer is sticking with the "Today" show.
Lauer plans to announce Friday on the air that he has signed a long-term contract to remain as co-host of the top-rated morning show, NBC News spokeswoman Megan Kopf said Thursday.
Although "Today" is on a historic winnings streak in the ratings, ABC competitor "Good Morning America" has been gaining ground.
Lauer's decision provides important stability for "Today" and puts to rest speculation that he might reunite with his former co-host, Katie Couric, on the syndicated show she's launching this fall.
Lauer said last May that he had discussed joining with Couric on a new venture. But he predicted then that he would be staying at "Today" for "a long time."
He's been a fixture with the show since 1994, and "Today" has remained No. 1 in the weekly ratings since 1995.
The morning scene drew increased attention this week as the NBC and ABC programs featured dueling celebrity co-host: "Today" had Sarah Palin for a day, while Couric is spending the week as substitute anchor at "GMA."
Palin, the former Alaska governor, helped "Today" maintain its winning streak against "GMA" on Tuesday, but Wednesday proved a cautionary tale for NBC.
With Couric on board, "Good Morning America" was able to claim a one-day victory in viewership over "Today."
About 5.24 million viewers watched "GMA," while 5.15 million viewers tuned into "Today," according to the Nielsen Co.
ABC's advantage was the latest twist in a morning-show battle that has seen "GMA" chipping away at the ratings lead that "Today" has maintained every week for 16 years.
Overall last week, "GMA" shrank its gap behind "Today" to 119,000 viewers from 137,000 the previous week.

Judith Jamison, the artistic director of the famed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, was touring Brazil in September when she learned that she was to receive a prestigious Kennedy Center honor.
Even there, the spirit of her mentor Alvin Ailey, who died of AIDS in 1989, loomed large.
"I didn't believe it until my assistant faxed the announcement to me," recalls Jamison, who's set to receive the award Dec. 5 after launching the company's 41st season Wednesday – a decade to the day since its founder died.
"I looked at a picture of Alvin that was right near the fax machine and I started to cry."
Ailey himself was given the Kennedy award 11 years ago, and Jamison was in attendance at the ceremony. "I was so proud of him," she says. "I just remember that moment being so very special."
Jamison is being saluted for her "unique and valuable contribution to the cultural life of the nation," according the award announcement. Along with actors Sean Connery and Jason Robards, comedian Victor Borge and singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder, she will be presented with the honor by President Clinton during a gala performance at the White House.
Sitting in her office at the Alvin Ailey studios, enthroned on a chair designed to cater to the hip replacement she underwent four years ago, the statuesque 56-year-old reflected on a "special" year.
In addition to the Kennedy Center citation, Jamison celebrated her 10th anniversary as artistic director this year and won an Emmy for outstanding choreography for her work on the PBS documentary "A Hymn for Alvin Ailey."
The company opens its new season Wednesday at New York's City Center.
"The theme for this season is an arc that goes from the past to the future," she says. "Every piece we're doing is rooted in the past – we're all standing on other choreographers' shoulders – but we're also looking at where we're going."
The month-long engagement will feature an eclectic repertory of 23 ballets, including three world premieres by Ronald K. Brown, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Donald McKayle, and new productions of vintage works, including Jamison's own "Divining," Bill T. Jones' "Fever Swamp" and John Butler's signature pas de deux, "After Eden."
Ailey's classic "Revelations" will be revived, and the troupe will commemorate the centennial of Duke Ellington's birth with a series of tribute dances.
Jamison stopped dancing publicly two years ago but insists she doesn't miss it.
"My body doesn't want to perform any more," she says. "I'll sit out in the audience in wonderment and look at my dancers. They are phenomenal."
The Philadelphia-born Jamison began dancing with the Ailey company in 1965. She left in 1980 to form her own troupe, the Jamison Project, but returned to helm the company after Ailey's death.
"I feel that when a person who you worked with and loved so much dies, they don't really die," she says. "When the physical self dies, all the ideas and the energy are still there and we live with that energy and that creativity."
While Ailey's influence continues to inform the work of the company, Jamison has put her own stamp on it.
"I've never approached anything as trying to step into somebody's shoes because of the individual that I am, which Alvin nurtured," she says. "There was a space that Alvin created and he knew I was very capable of filling that space.
"I think it's very important that I have the perspective I have from working with him. He planted the seeds for all this – he just didn't know it was going to grow into this kind of tree. I'm here to be the caretaker of that tree."
Under Jamison's stewardship, the Ailey has branched out far beyond its core 31-member troupe.
The Ailey Dance Center annually trains 3,500 dance students from all over the world; it sponsors AileyCamp, a national program that combines dance classes with personal development workshops; and collaborates with Fordham University to present a B.A. degree program offering students the opportunity to combine dance training with a liberal arts education.
Jamison's vision for the future is clear. She wants this already accessible company – which was recently featured in an American Express commercial – to embrace technology in an effort to take live dance to new audiences.
"There's a crossover that has to happen," she says. "It's about having us in venues that might not necessarily be concert stages. It's being able to make a ballet available on DVD.
"There's no reason why we shouldn't get as much publicity as Michael Jordan."

The best way to get rid of clothes moths is to keep clothing clean. The larvae of clothes moths are attracted to clothes that are somewhat dirty or not often worn. Clothing hidden away in closets is particularly vulnerable to damage from clothes moths, since clothes moth caterpillars prefer darkness.
Another way to get rid of clothes most is through regular vacuuming. The eggs and caterpillars often hide in the pile of carpets, and vacuuming them up clearly cuts down on clothes moth damage.
Deter moths by laundering clothing before putting them away for winter or summer storage. It also helps to take dry-clean-only clothing outside on a sunny day to brush them. Afterwards, store wool clothing in plastic boxes or reclosable plastic bags that are hard for the moths to access.
Some people store their clothes with cedar, which has oils that kill clothes moths' larvae, but its effectiveness is limited. Lavender repels moths and has a pleasing fragrance, but it does not kill moths or larvae. Mint, cloves, thyme and rosemary are also good repellents.
Mothballs are effective, but they have chemicals that are toxic to people and pets. Because of their toxicity, use mothballs in containers that close tightly, and only place them in areas where there is little traffic.

I have author Susan Wiggs on today for an interview, so pleased to have the opportunity. Susan shares about herself and her newest book Return to Willow Lake. Always a thrill to interview an author one of my fave things to do so my great thanks to Susan.
Please tell me about yourself –
SW: I'm pretty much like my readers: a wife, mom, daughter, sister with a lifelong love of books. I adore my family and friends, I'm a pretty good cook and I love to travel, love doing sports but not watching them, love the smell of fresh cut lilies, love my dogs, love my home on a little island. There's more on my web site, including photos: www.susanwiggs.com
What is your work space and writing routine like? –
SW: My workspace is anywhere I happen to drag my notebook and fountain pen, or my laptop if I'm working on computer. There's a little study I use for my home base, with a view of the patio and beach. Mostly I'm curled up on the sofa, writing by a roaring fire, or out on the patio enjoying the weather while I work. A writer is very spoiled that way. No cubicle for us!
What do you like to do when not writing? –
SW: Explore the world, read books, hang out with my husband, learn new things, eat. Chocolate. Lots of it.
What are you reading now? –
SW: Paris in Love, a Memoir by Eloisa James. I'm in Paris and I'm in love, so it's a good match for meat the moment.
Some favorite books and authors? –
SW: Favorite books – gosh, so many, going all the way back to the Little House on the Prairie books. Huckleberry Finn. The Great Gatsby. Lord of the Rings trilogy. Green Darkness by Anya Seton. The Rhanna books by Christine MacDonald Fraser. Don't get me started or I'll keep you all day! Favorite authors: Luanne Rice, Tess Gerritsen, Elizabeth Wiggs Maas.
Are any characters ever based on people you know? –
SW: Every character is made up of bits and pieces of people I've met. Sonnet in RETURN TO WILLOW LAKE has a lot in common with a couple of women I went to school with–ambitious, passionate, yearning for love and connection.
Your stories have been contemporary, historical etc. do you have a favorite? And is contemporary more enjoyable to write? –
SW: My favorite is usually whatever I'm working on at the moment. Both are wonderfully enjoyable and challenging in different ways. Conflicts are trickier in contemporary novels because we have so many options available. But the human heart will always give me a great conflict for a love story.
Do you work better with or without a deadline? –
SW: Sometimes I'd get nothing done at all if not for deadlines. Knowing when a book is due keeps me organized and momtivated. When you're self-employed, it's so tempting to play hooky. I think, though, that productive writers tend to be very professional about it.
For someone who hasn't read one of your books which one would you recommend they start with and why that one? –
SW: I would love it if they would start with RETURN TO WILLOW LAKE. Even though it's not the first of the Lakeshore Chronicles, it's a book that has so much of my heart in it–a powerful mother-daughter storyline, a young woman's personal journey to a crossroads in her life, and a dramatic love story.
Please tell me about your newest book Return to Willow Lake –
SW: Oops, I think I just did. I can add that it's a book about the tough choices we sometimes have to make, and how ultimately there's really only one path for everyone–to follow your heart.
What future works do readers have to look forward to? –
SW: I've been busy! There's an upcoming novel called THE APPLE ORCHARD which launches a new series of books that take place around a cooking school in Sonoma County, California. Readers can also expect Logan's story in THE LAKESHORE CHRONICLES–a Christmas story called either CANDLELIGHT or STARLIGHT. I hope readers will join me on Facebook to get the latest: www.facebook.com/SusanWiggs

In brief, the Glass Art Society was formed by glassblowers through the NCECA (National Council on Education in the Ceramic Arts) in 1971 right after the NCECA conference in Toronto that year. The first meeting was at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. The founders were Fritz Dreisbach, Mark Peiser and William Bernstein. Peiser was the first chairman. I have a great chronology of this society published in the 1995 Glass Art Society Journal that I'd be happy to photocopy and fax or mail to you if you'd like to see it. Or you can let me know if there is something particular in the history of the Society that you'd like me to look at. We do have there archives here in the library. If you are interested in the chronology, let me know so I can send you more information.

About OS for Puppy Owners
Operation Socialization gives dog owners the best possible tools to raise a well-mannered, behaviorally healthy lifetime companion.
Why? Because we want your puppy (and all others) to grow up into a behaviorally healthy dog that's easier to train, more adaptable, and overall a joy to live with. The chances of that happening radically increase if you socialize your puppy before he's six months old.
What OS Can Do For You
Take advantage of our services during your puppy's critical development stage and you essentially "vaccinate" your puppy against the most common threats to his behavioral health. We teach you why early socialization is an opportunity you don't want to pass up.
You may even save his life. (The most common reason for dogs being surrendered to a shelter or euthanized is behavior problems.)

How OS Works
OS Trainers make socialization easy and fun for you. Here's how:

Reshaping educational environments by Kevin Geeves Sales Director – Education for KI Europe
Education facilities, especially those for higher and further education are undergoing enormous change. Akin to the rapid evolution of workplaces, learning environments are adapting to the changing needs, expectations and priorities of its occupants. Largely, but not exclusively influenced by technology, educational institutions are creating spaces that are transforming the user experience. In an increasingly competitive market, they are acutely aware that they must be able to attract the best students.
A global playing field
As employers are in a 'war for talent', higher education and academies are globally competing for students. Students face fewer restrictions than workers when considering international opportunities as study visas are more accessible than work permits or a more permanent immigration status. While employers might be competing for talent domestically, universities are vying to lure students internationally. This is making higher education a valuable export and a vital component of the UK economy.
Changing expectations
The expectations of, and aspirations for architecture and design is being driven by local and international students alike, both of whom now pay substantial tuition fees. Expanded budgets are being provisioned for a greater investment in planning and fit out for every aspect of a campus. Education providers are regularly finding themselves at the cutting edge of architecture and design. From innovative wayfinding in large, complex structures to providing third spaces for people between lectures and formal study times, universities and colleges are aspiring to create open and transparent physical environments that people love to be in. And just like many forward-thinking companies, maximising productivity and wellbeing are pertinent factors. Even academic and administration offices of universities are moving away from traditional cellular spaces to more open plan landscapes. The lines between learning and working environments are most definitely blurring.
A smooth transition
The design of university buildings has an undeniable impact on the expectations of students who are soon to join the workforce. This may explain why institutions cite employability statistics of their graduates as a measure of success. With youth unemployment crises across many advanced economies, being 'work-ready' can become an attractive benefit to students who are considering their options. If the physical environment is familiar, the transition will be smooth and the new generation are less likely to experience a culture shock.
And of course, technology matters a lot
The impact of technology can't be ignored. Younger generations have different expectations of teachers, facilities and content. Showcased through evolved teaching methods and curriculums, advanced student awareness of ergonomics and comfort and by how students study, learn, and are assessed. The nature of their studies, like today's world of work, demand collaboration and flexibility rather than solitary, rote education. Active learning - learning through experience rather than instruction - is transforming the physical space and the shape of furniture and fixtures within it. Nesting or stacking chairs, chairs on castors, or those featuring tablet arms are sought after in order to facilitate easy collaboration, and to create multipurpose spaces. Being able to immediately adapt to the lesson is becoming a priority.
Mobility, flexibility and connectivity are intertwined. Technology has allowed everything to be available at the touch of a touchscreen, students expect to be able do their work virtually anywhere. Future-proofed, low maintenance furniture and interior design that supports this kind of activity can improve the student experience. By selecting furniture that provides somewhere to prop up books, tablets computers, laptops, papers and notebooks can turn a dull lounge into a vibrant hub of activity.

Not a single member of the public attended Wednesday's monthly Police Service Area (PSA) 4 Meeting held at 7 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 22 E. Chestnut Hill Ave., in which a new PSA leader was introduced.
The 14th Police District is divided into four surveillance sectors known as Police Service Areas, each supervised by a lieutenant. PSA 4 covers Chestnut Hill, portions of Mt. Airy and Cedarbrook.
Community Relations Officer Synell Hall conducted the meeting and announced that Lt. Michael Whaley was recently transferred to another district. Hall introduced Lt. Sean Danbridge, who will now oversee PSA 4.
Lt. Danbridge, who was born in Germantown, said he was happy to be back in his old neighborhood. Danbridge said he is looking forward to working with residents to improve the quality of life in their community. He wants to establish an email list to alert community members about recent crimes and potential problems in their neighborhood. Anyone interested in being added to the list should email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
From Jan. 22 to Feb. 18, Hall said there were three robberies and seven burglaries in PSA 4. Hall said the majority of crime occurred in Cedarbrook. Police made two arrests in connection to two of the robberies.
In several of the burglaries, police reported that thieves were not able to gain access to the properties due to an alarm or double bolted locks. Hall added that while no robberies or burglaries occurred in Chestnut Hill, the area continues to be plagued by thefts from autos.
"Residents continue to leave GPS, laptops, cell phones and other personal items in their automobiles," Hall said.
Hall quoted the old adage "out of sight, out of mind," and urged residents to remove or place items in their vehicles' trunk. She also suggested residents make sure spare tires on the back of their vehicles have a lock on them. In a couple incidents, thieves removed spare tires from vehicles. Hall suggested residents to be proactive when it comes to preventing crime.
"We still want citizens of the 14th district to be vigilant and know that spring is coming," Hall said. "Now is the time to start thinking about removing limbs and branches from basement windows and the rear of property."
Hall encouraged residents to call the district at 215-686-3140 to schedule a free security assessment.
According to the 14th district website, the next PSA 4 meeting will be held on March 12th at 7 p.m. at the Chestnut Hill Library.
