OCEAN CITY — While the jury is still out on the long-term future of horseback riding on the beach in Ocean City, the first attempt on Wednesday morning was clearly a success.
After considerable debate, the Ocean City Mayor and Council last week approved in a 4-3 vote horseback riding on the beach on a limited basis as a means of attracting more visitors to the resort in the off-season. On Wednesday, the first small group of riders took advantage of the new opportunity on a picture-perfect February morning, trotting along the water's edge as curiosity seekers and onlookers gathered.
"This is a really special day," said Councilman Brent Ashley, who promoted the idea before his colleagues. "I think it's going to be good for business and bring a lot of people to Ocean City. It's entertaining for the riders and I think it's beautiful for the visitors."
Under the approved ordinance, horseback riding will be allowed on the beach only from 27th Street south to the South Jetty at the Inlet from Nov. 1 to March 30 from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Only leisurely activity will be allowed, including riding or walking the horses. The ordinance prohibits any competitions, such as polo matches or racing. The original ordinance allowed for a $50 seasonal pass, but was amended to include a $20 one-day pass after some debate about the cost being prohibitive.
Those who obtain permits will be responsible for those in their party, and beginning or intermediate riders must be accompanied by an experienced rider capable of controlling the animals. The ordinance includes specific language about cleaning up after the horses including the handling of manure. The latter was a source of much consternation for some on the council and the public, but on day one at least, the riders from Holly Ridge Farm in Powellville had a handler on with a pitchfork and bin on hand to take care of a few droppings.
Councilman Joe Hall, also a strong advocate for the program, was on hand on Wednesday and repeated assurances the riders will pick up after themselves if necessary.
"Whatever these horses leave behind, if anything, will be long gone before any tourist puts down a blanket," he said.
While the three riders from Holly Ridge Farm, including Margo Luke on Sparks, Catherine Paul on Lucky and Amy Neeley on Lady, don't necessarily constitute an immediate hit, there is reason to believe the equestrian set will embrace the idea. Ashley said a group of 21 riders from Pennsylvania have already inquired about permits for Saturday. Because the ordinance only allows for 12 horses on the beach at a time, the group will likely have to divide their time.
"I think that's a great start," said Hall. "If you have 21 riders, you probably have spouses, children, handlers and others tagging along. That's quite a few people in hotel rooms and at the restaurants on a Saturday in late February."
Already, area stables are attempting to set up package plans with resort hotels to attract riders, according to Holly Ridge Farm's Anne Luke. The plan is to package stabling at nearby facilities with hotel rooms.
"We're trying to get some packages together with the hotels and the stables so the out-of-town visitors can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity," she said. "It's nice to see something that might help the winter months."
While the obvious benefit is for the riders and their horses, the hope is horseback riding on the beach will provide a unique experience for residents and visitors. The sight of the horses frolicking at the water's edge produced postcard-like images and attracted considerable attention, even on a Wednesday morning in February.
"You can see already see people riding by and checking it out," said Ashley. "People are very excited about this and I think it going to be equally enjoyable for the riders and the spectators."

Oklahoma City live music venue JJ's Saloon will close at the end of January.
The venue, formerly known as Danny's Blues Saloon, has hosted various rock, blues, and country acts, as well as a popular acoustic song swap.
Tulsa native Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, just released a music video for "Birth in Reverse."
The track is featured on her self-titled album that was released in February.
Last week, JD McPherson premiered a new song, "Bossy," via The Huffington Post.
The song will be included on his new album, Let The Good Times Roll, out February 10 on Rounder Records.
McPherson says the new album is a "slightly more extreme example of the first record…wanting to take Rhythm & Blues to art school" and that "it's no Joy Division record, but it was definitely created under a measure of disquiet."
Grooms released a new song, "Doctor M," last week via Brooklyn Vegan.
University of Oklahoma alum Travis Johnson remains the only original member of the Brooklyn-based band after fellow OU alum Emily Ambruso took a hiatus from the band.
"Doctor M" will be featured on the band's upcoming fourth album, Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair, out February 17 via Western Vinyl.
Hinder released a new song "Hit the Ground" on Friday via Billboard.
Hinder, who recently added a new singer in Nolan Neal, plans to release an as-yet-untitled fifth album in 2015, via The End Records.

David Cook also released a new song, "Wait For Me," last week.
The former Tulsan tells The Hollywood Reporter that his new music will be released independently, and that he's close to finding a distributor for his first new album since 2011.
Meanwhile, Cook is still playing charity concerts to raise funds for brain cancer research. Since 2009, the same year his brother Adam passed away from the disease, Cook and his fans have raised $930,000 through various fundraisers. This month, Cook's Crowdrise campaign aims to raise $70,000 to reach the $1 million mark.
A song from Other Lives, "Great Sky," was featured on the NBC show "The Blacklist" on Monday, November 10.

Vodafone's pager network goes titsup
Thieves steal kit
Vodafone's pager network - which is used by hospitals and businesses in the UK to stay in touch - went titsup early this morning after thieves stole key networking equipment overnight.
Although details are still sketchy, the break-in occurred in the early hours of this morning at an undisclosed address in Hertfordshire.
Thieves made off with "key bits of equipment" and also damaged remaining hardware as they ripped out the kit.
As a result, Vodafone's paging network - which is used by 180,000 people and covers 98 per cent of the UK population - was floored. Engineers managed to get the network back on its feet by early this afternoon.
"We take this extremely seriously and are investigating the matter," said a spokesman. ®

Wake Forest is raising the bar of creative excellence for colleges and universities around the world.
The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), one of the largest international associations of education institutions with more than 3,600 member colleges and universities, awarded Wake Forest's Creative Communications team three gold medal awards during its 2014 Circle of Excellence awards program. Additionally, Wake Forest Magazine received a silver award for general interest magazines with a circulation of 75,000 or greater.
The international Circle of Excellence awards program recognizes outstanding work in advancement services, alumni relations, communications, fundraising and marketing as judged by peer professionals at schools, colleges and universities as well as by professionals from outside education.
This year, 629 institutions submitted more than 3,000 entries in 100 different categories.
Wake Forest's Admissions Viewbook and Forestry 101, a mini-textbook containing everything incoming freshmen and their families need to know about orientation and life at Wake Forest, both received gold medal awards for the multi-page publication category. The only other school to receive gold in the category was Marlboro College in Vermont. There were a total of 105 entries.
"From the beginning of both Forestry 101 and the Admissions viewbook, we tried to rethink what had been created traditionally both here and at other schools," said Hayes Henderson, executive director of Wake Forest's Creative Communications team.
Wake Forest University photographer Ken Bennett was named the 2014 Photographer of the Year. The award recognizes the work of a single staff or freelance photographer based on a portfolio of 10 to 15 representative photographs. Bennett was selected from a national pool of 35 applicants.
"Ken has the unique ability to skillfully capture the emotion of a moment, the personality of a subject, a moment in time, or a unique view of our campus environment– all with the vision and creativity of a category specialist," Henderson said. "As a teammate, he brings fresh ideas to the table, is a dedicated thinking partner on our communications materials, a great collaborator, and just fun to work with."

While not technically the first day of Summit since the official start is yet to come, here are my thoughts on Sunday and Monday of PASS Summit 2013.
For many of us the week began Sunday evening. Many, the start was not until Tuesday. Others still might have started Monday or Wedneday. My first day of Summit 2013 was actually last week as I began my travels to the East coast the Friday preceding SQL Saturday in Charleston, SC.
So, I want to share those experiences as a prelude to the events in Charlotte, NC.
The event in Charleston was a first time event in more than one way. This was the first time that SQL Saturday had ever been presented in Charleston. It was also the first time that the organizer had ever a) attended a SQL Saturday and b) organized a SQL Saturday.
The event was successful. Some of that success can be attributed to many factors. One factor I think was the quality of presenters that was selected. Another big factor was the responsiveness of the venue and volunteers to help resolve issues big or small. Another factor was the general help of the volunteers. And finally, the attendees were FANTASTIC.
One big issue that we ran into affected all presenters in the afternoon for one of the rooms. The projector died! I just so happened to have my projector with me. When it became apparent that nobody would be able to get the projector to work, we hooked up my projector. Whether it was a Surface tablet or a normal laptop, we got it working. We had different connectors and just made things work.
As an attendee, I took advantage to see sessions by Andy Warren, Laerte Junior, Grant Fritchey and David Klee
As a presenter, I thoroughly enjoyed presenting on compression. Even with Andy Warren (who is a really really good presenter) sitting in the room trying to offer distractions.
I also enjoyed taking part in the two different QA panels in two different rooms as two of the three afternoon presenters no-showed. The QA panels were a riot. In one room we had Andy Warren and Shannon Lowder. In the other room we had David Klee, Steve Jones, Mike Wells and Grant Fritchey. I tried to split time between the two because they were different topics and questions in each. The room with Grant, Steve et al ended up being largely entertaining as well as informative. Yes, Grant is still preaching NO PANTS (even three days later).
From there, I rode with Wayne Sheffield back to Charlotte to start the actual events of Summit – with a few left hand detours on I-26. You'll have to tweet Wayne (blog | twitter) to get more details on the Charlotte motor speedway (I-26 and left hand turns).
Sunday was a slow day filled with mingling and talking to people who I haven't seen in months or a year or so. Combine that with the opportunity to network with people I have never met, and then those with whom I have only virtually met – and it was a good day overall.
Monday was the day to really start diving into the deep end of Summit 2013. This is the day that I was supposed to get to "Color with Crayons" during the precon by Paul White. I am still waiting for my pack of crayons. I know that was all just said in jest by Paul on twitter. The session was an advanced look into the Optimizer and Execution Plans. The session did not disappoint. I have a lot of playing to do with the stuff learned from that precon event.
Monday evening was filled with a networking party where I met soooooo many of the SQLFamily with whom I have frequently chatted and talked. That event was worth the price of admission and then some (cost of the meal 😉 ). That event was shortly followed by a quick jaunt to the Friends of RedGate gathering a few blocks up the street. Which, was another fantastic opportunity to meet and greet with more SQLFamily.
Tuesday is a bit of a different story. Some people continue on with the precons. Some people had various meetings to attend. I was in the latter group. I had meetings about SQLSaturday, Volunteering, and a meeting for Chapter Leaders.
Tuesday was capped with the Quiz Bowl that seemed to be over before it even started. I think a good majority didn't even know it was happening when it happened or that it had completed when it did. Many were busy socializing or in a different part of the Welcome Reception where you couldn't hear the announcements.
After the welcome reception (where the Quiz Bowl happened), I spent my evening at a bowling alley called Strike City. There was an event for volunteers and another party hosted by Linchpin People. The evening was filled with great networking opportunities and was time well spent.

Beta Sitosterol
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Beta Sitosterol
Beta Sitosterol is known as the most effective natural hair loss supplement for men. It is a part of a family of phytosterols which include capesterol and beta-sitostanol and campestanol. These phytosterols are extracted from plants and are found in common foods that we consume every day.
Beta Sitosterol is not just known for the treatment of hair loss but also for the many beneficial health factors that it brings. It is known to lower blood cholesterol and also in prevention of cancers and the treatment of leukemia.
History and Origin
Beta Sitosterol along with its counterpart phytosterols have many functions; along with lowering blood cholesterol, these chemicals have been used in many industries as a food additive and as a preservative. There has been many tests and research findings regarding the possibility of retarding male pattern baldness and also in the treatment of hair loss as well making Beta Sitosterol, the most used among all the other phytosterols.
Ancient Uses
Beta Sitosterol is naturally found in plants and but its use was not known during the ancient times. Plants have many therapeutic properties and have been used by many cultures as treatment of many illnesses. All plant parts can be used as medicine, from the root to its fruit. Phytosterols were not known specifically then but have been benefiting man since ancient times.
Modern Uses
During our recent modern times, Beta Sitosterol was seen as a treatment for inflammation. It was tested on patients with multiple sclerosis and was found to have the ability to reduce pain and inflammation. It had significant effect on patient's well being and had no untoward side effects at all.
It is in managing blood cholesterol that many experts use Beta Sitosterol. Patients with high cholesterol levels were reported to have a positive effect on their blood pressure level as well as the decrease cholesterol level in blood.
Many hair care products use Beta Sitosterol as main ingredient in hair loss treatments and the prevention of male pattern baldness. Famous hair growth treatments claim that they have had significant findings to support Beta Sitosterol's ability to prevent hair loss in men and many have reported that hair loss was also treated with Beta Sitosterol as well.
Beta Sitosterol has also seen use as a treatment for leukemia owing to the many research studies and tests that have been done to support this claim. There were positive results too, regarding the effect of Beta Sitosterol in the decrease of prostate gland size in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Side Effects
There are no reported side effects of Beta Sitosterol especially when used as an ingredient in hair care products. However, do not use Beta Sitosterol containing products on scalp with open wounds or inflamed and irritated scalp.
Although many claim that they have had positive results in using hair care products with Beta Sitosterol in the treatment of hair loss and male pattern baldness, it is not enough to rely on this treatment alone. A proper diet and stress management can prevent hair loss and may retard male pattern baldness.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to use supplements containing Beta Sitosterol.

Arsenal will target Dennis Bergkamp for a first-team role as they prepare to make an internal appointment to replace outgoing academy chief Liam Brady this summer, Goal.com understands.
The Gunners' academy No.2 David Court, Under-18s manager Steve Gatting and Under-21s manager Terry Burton are the leading contenders to replace Brady, who has run the academy since 1996.
Club legend Bergkamp has also been considered to take over at the Hale End base but the Ajax assistant manager is being targeted for a senior role in Arsenal's first-team set-up.
Arsenal released a carefully-worded statement last week to announce that Brady would "leave his current role by May 2014", but it is anticipated that the former midfielder will actually step down this summer.
|Arsenal are 15/2 to beat Sunderland 2-0 with bet365
The 56-year-old, who has headed the club's academy since 1996, is likely to remain with the north Londoners in some capacity, most probably in an ambassadorial role. Brady will also be asked for guidance on the identity of his successor.
The club want to promote from within their current academy set-up rather than recruit from outside.
The short-list is headed by Court, a former Arsenal player who has worked for the academy since 1996 and is regarded by the club as Brady's right-hand man.Gatting, who was been at Hale End since 2007 and was promoted to coach the Under-18s earlier this season, is also a strong contender and the third, least likely, possibility is Burton, the veteran coach who returned to Arsenal last summer to manage both the Under-21s and the Under-19s team that compete in the NextGen series.
It is understood that informal talks were held with Bergkamp last summer, when Brady first indicated that he was ready to bring down the curtain on his time in charge of the academy.
But it is now more likely that the Dutchman will be offered a position with the first team.
Bergkamp, whose 11-year spell at Arsenal ended in 2006, has gradually earned his coaching spurs at Ajax, where he came through the youth system as a player.
He has been fast-tracked through the set-up of the Dutch giants, heading the youth system before being promoted to work with the first-team under current manager Frank de Boer in June 2011.
Speaking in 2009, Bergkamp said he "wouldn't rule out" working for Arsenal again and added: "I want to work and train a team in England. Not as a head coach but instead as a member of staff, where I could work specifically with the strikers."
Wenger, meanwhile, says it is crucial Arsneal make the right choice: "We are starting the process now. We will choose the best possible person. It is very important."

Consensus Report
Review of the Scientific Approaches Used During the FBI's Investigation of the Anthrax Letters (2011)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
It is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion about the origins of the Bacillus anthracis in the mailings based on the available scientific evidence alone, this National Research Council report finds. Scientific analysis played a central role in the FBI's investigation of the anthrax mail attacks. To help investigators narrow their search for the source of the attack anthrax, researchers used standard laboratory tests and developed new ones to characterize the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the anthrax. This report reviews the scientific approaches used during the investigation, and evaluates whether the FBI reached appropriate scientific conclusions from the use of these techniques.
Key Messages
- The Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) in the letters was the Ames strain, and was not genetically engineered.
- Multiple distinct colony morphological types, or morphotypes, of Bacillus anthracis Ames strain were present in the letters. Molecular assays of specific genetic sequences associated with these morphotypes provided an approach to determining relationships among evidentiary samples.
- The FBI created a repository of Ames strain Bacillus anthracis samples and performed experiments to determine relationships among the letter samples and the repository samples. The scientific link between the letter material and flask RMR-1029 is not as conclusive as stated in the Department of Justice Investigative summary.
- Silicon was present in the letter powders, but there was no evidence of intentional addition of silicon-based dispersants.
- It is difficult to draw conclusions about the amount of time needed to prepare the spore material or the skill set required of the perpetrator.
- Additional physical, chemical and radiological experiments were properly conducted to evaluate the samples for potential signatures connecting them to a source, but proved to be of limited forensic value.
- There was inconsistent evidence of Bacillus anthracis Ames DNA in environmental samples collected from an overseas site. The committee believes that the complete set of data and conclusions concerning these samples, including all relevant classified documents, deserves a more thorough scientific review.
- There are other tools, methods, and approaches available today for a scientific investigation such as this one.
- Organizational structure and oversight are critical aspects of a scientific investigation. The FBI generated an organization structure to accommodate the complexity of this case and received the advice of prominent experts.
- A review should be conducted of the classified materials that have been offered by the FBI and Department of Justice, including all of the data and materials pertaining to the overseas environmental sample collections.
- The goals of forensic science, and realistic expectations and limitations regarding its use in the investigation of a biological attack must be communicated to the public and policymakers with as much clarity and detail as possible before, during, and after the investigation.

We take one posting each month to talk food. We've talked about healthful foods and preparations; we've talked about ingredients and shared recipes. The idea came from one of you.
How many of you have ever eaten quinoa?
Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa') is an ancient grain from Central America and it packs a nutritional punch. It also has the added benefit of being a gluten free food.
This grain is a complete protein and has almost a perfect balanced profile of essential amino acids. Quinoa is also high in lysine, methionine and cystine (which many grains and soy are lacking).
Okay, I know. So it's good for us but how does it taste?! Simple answer, I love this stuff.
Below is a recipe using quinoa but don't hesitate to play with this food. It can replace other grains in nearly every preparation, hot or cold. Salads, pilafs, sides, hot breakfast cereal, soups…really it works in all.
Quinoa takes about 15 minutes to prepare, so it's faster than most other starches to cook. It's a little bit different in look and texture than other foods you've put on your table, so it's kind of fun and most surely a conversation starter.
Basic cooking is simple; Place 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to light simmer, cover and cook about 15 minutes (makes 3 cups cooked grain). It's that simple!
Here is a little fancier version that can nestle right alongside any main and a great dish-to-pass at your next potluck.
Quinoa Tabouli
2 cups quinoa, cooked
1/2 tsp basil
1 cup chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup olive oil
2 TBS fresh mint
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix everything together and chill for 1 hour. Garnish as you like and serve.
I've tons of recipes for quinoa, I'd like to hear from others who use/love this food like I do.
Try it. You and your family will have a new fave.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Second born burst into the parental bedroom this morning asking if we'd like "flat" pancakes.
As opposed to lumpy ones?!
No – as opposed to "fluffy" (North American style) ones.
Proper pancakes were on offer. British and Euro-style crêpes.
Mais oui – definitely up for some of that. Especially if I don't need to make them myself. As a kid, we'd always have them with lemon juice and sugar. Now we live in Canada, we inevitably add (real) maple syrup to the buffet of options. Second born loves to have hers with dark chocolate spread (like Nutella, but with more chocolate and no nuts), and showed an unnatural patience in spreading it just right to ensure the correct distribution of chocolate in the subsequently rolled pancake.
For one simply must roll the pancake into a tight cylinder before slicing it into delicious if somewhat unhealthy bite sized chunks. I prefer to trap an edge between two fork tines and roll the pancake that way, but second born uses manual dexterity, claiming it produces a tighter roll. It might be interesting to watch a dusky Cuban maiden from the tobacco fields, to see her technique. No particular reason. Just the voyeurism.
Anyway, all this as a tortuous lead up to my new found favourite condiment. Marilyn's spicy red pepper jelly. Lovely on pancakes. I think I bought it at Canadian Superstore, which always has lots of eclectic foreign foods due to the local demographic of Surrey, BC. So anyway, it turns out that it's made by Tower Foods in Abbotsford, just down the Fraser Valley in BC. Marilyn Tower is the owner it seems – hence the name of both the product range and the company. They produce a range of different jellies made of different peppers, but I'd bought this one due to the word spicy. It has a bit of a tang to be sure, but it's certainly not chilli hot.
The ingredients are listed as:
- Sugar
- BC red peppers
- White vinegar
- BC jalapeño peppers
- Pectin
So basically, it's jam. Made with peppers. I've had it on toast as an alternative to Silver Shred (also available at Canadian Superstore), and it works very nicely. Keep an eye out for it on your next grocery trip. Totally recommended.
While hunting for a product photo, I also came across this little article about Canadian beaurocracy, and French labelling on Tower Foods products. Quality local foods taken off the shelves because of the lack of French on the label. In a part of Canada where Mandarin or Punjabi would be way more beneficial to customers! Bureaucracy – The British Empire's gift to the world…

Komen affiliate makes $2.7 million in local grants
Denver Metropolitan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has awarded grants totaling $2.7 million to 28 area nonprofit organizations that support 37 local breast cancer projects. The money was given at Hope for the Cure, a banquet attended by recipients and others who support the Komen organization's mission of saving lives and ending breast cancer.
"We are pleased to partner with community organizations to help provide life-saving breast cancer education, screening, treatment and support services through these grants," said Michele Ostrander, executive director of the Denver affiliate. Recipients, she added, are agencies and organizations that meet the needs defined in a community profile assessment conducted earlier this year.
Forty-one percent of the funds were earmarked for those providing screening/diagnostic services. Smaller percentages went to agencies and organizations providing treatment services, treatment support, education and outreach, technical assistance and small grants, and coalition-building activities.
The Komen Denver Metropolitan Affiliate is part of the 125-affiliate network of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer. The affiliates, Ostrander noted, are the "Face and voice of Komen for the Cure's global breast cancer movement in communities around the world. Through local events and activities, the Komen Denver Metropolitan Affiliate mobilizes and educates thousands of community members while raising funds to support community-based breast cancer programs."
In order to ensure it is funding programs that address the specific unmet breast cancer needs, the Komen Denver Metropolitan Affiliate works with local health care professionals and community leaders to conduct a comprehensive community needs assessment. This community profile, conducted in all Komen affiliates, is then used to establish local grant priorities consistent with the organization's standards and mission.
For more information on the specific grants awarded, visit www.KomenDenver.org.
Last year, Susan G. Komen for the Cure affiliates, working in concert with local organizations, awarded more than $80 million in needs-based community grants. That's in addition to the 25 percent of their income that affiliates contribute toward the many millions the organization invests each year in promising research.

There is no Kevin Durant in this year's FIBA Basketball World Cup. There is no LeBron, no Carmelo, no Kobe, no Chris Paul, no Kevin Love and, of course, no Paul George.
Most of the NBA's biggest names will stay home for this year's tournament, which begins Saturday in Spain. But there are more NBA players in this year's cup than any other.
A record 45 current NBA players are set to compete in the tournament, up from 44 in 2010, the league announced Friday. This year's World Cup also features 75 players who have at one point played in the NBA, as well as 17 former draftees whose rights are held by NBA teams, bringing the total number of past and present NBA players to 92.
Of the 24 teams competing in the World Cup, 21 have at least one NBA player, ex-NBA player or draftee. And 22 of the 30 NBA teams have at least one of their players on a national roster. The Cavs and Rockets have the most, with four current players in the World Cup. Forward Kenneth Faried is the lone representative for the Nuggets this year, but he is the fifth Denver player to compete for Team USA since 1992, when it started using NBA players in international play.
Team USA aside, Spain has the most current NBA players with six, while France and Australia have four. Below is the complete breakdown of the past and present NBA players competing in Spain.

I have an interesting question:
Is there a dataset by which I can use to test whether two countries are adjacent? For example, if inputs are Mexico and U.S., they are adjacent; if inputs are England and Russia, they are not. Is it easy to produce an adjacency matrix for all the countries?
Edited: This question might be extended as, if we get a political boundary map, is there any ways to produce an adjacency matrix for all the political entities (e.g. Given a map of Florida, can a counties matrix be built to indicate the adjacency of all the counties)

Ok, this has been bugging me since Saturday, so I have to ask—was trainer Bennie Woolley Jr. carrying a gun at the Kentucky Derby? (Probably not—but wouldn't it have been great if he had been?)
There was a suspicious-looking metal object hanging from what I imagined to be a low-slung underarm holster beneath Woolley's jacket during his post-race victory interview. I'm sure that's not what it was, but I'm not sure that wasn't what it was, if you know what I'm saying. Woolley does seem like the kind of guy who would be packing heat at a Kentucky horse race—but he also seems like the kind of guy who would wear his cellphone on his belt, so I'll stop with the unsupported innuendo now.
However, if he had been carrying a gun at Churchill Downs that would just make him horse racing's all-time renegade bad ass, which would officially vault Mine The Bird into mythical "let's make a sequel to Seabiscuit" territory. Woolley already stood out like a sore thumb in Louisville with his black cowboy hat and blue jeans. His 21-hour horse trailer convoy from New Mexico still has the media salivating and will keep his status as the sport's outlaw secure until Pimlico. He even teased us all for a few hours this morning with his "We don't need no stinkin' Preakness" attitude. This guy MAKES HIS OWN RULES, people!
Of course, he does need the Preakness and no one in their right mind would skip it with a healthy horse. And getting snotty with the post-race interviewer just because he wants to talk about your pickup truck doesn't help. (Your horse was a miracle 50-1 shot, so maybe show a little bit of joy. The announcer calling the race was so confused when Mine That Bird took the lead that he couldn't figure out his name.) Still, there is some potential in a brash Wild West character who thumbs his nose at that those stinking bluebloods, but the window of opportunity is small. If he doesn't show the world something in two weeks, everyone will stop caring real quick. He should bring a gun next time, or better yet ... an authentic Native American with a bow and arrow. That will really show those snobs that he's got some serious balls.
Unlike his poor horse.

History Outlines ...
... can almost always use refinement or correction. Comments or corrections, with citations, are encouraged, as there is much the same information about the Clan Fraser available to everyone, it is up to each to view everything with skepticism, read much before judgement, and then make up one's own mind about what one has collected. There can luckily be more found written about the Frasers than any other Scottish Historical family.
The Scientific Approach to History
In December 1973, the Altlantic Monthly printed an essay called The Principal of Tolerance, drawn from the book The Ascent of Man, By J. Bronowski, a mathematician and author of numerous studies, covering topics from William Blake to Nature and Knowledge. Bronowski states that what physics has done is to show "there is no absolute knowledge. And those who claim it, whether they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to tragedy. All information is imperfect. We have to treat it with humility. That is the human condition, and that is what quantum physics says. I mean that literally."
"In 1800 (Friederich) Hegel presented a thesis proving that although the definition of the planets had changed since the Ancients, there still could only be, philisophically, seven planets .... There is a passage in King Lear, in which the Fool says to the King: "The reason the stars are no more than seven is a pretty reason." And the King wags sagely and says: "Because they are not eight?" And the Fool says: "Yes indeed. Thou wouldst make a good Fool." And so did Hegel. On January 1, 1801, punctually, before the ink was dry on Hegel's dissertation, an eighth planet was discovered: the minor planet Ceres."
In 1927, the scientist Werner Heisenberg gave a new characterization to the electron which included saying: "The information the electron carries is limited in its totality: that is, for instance, its speed and its position fit together in a way that they are confined by the tolerance of the quantum. This is the profound idea: one of the great scientific ideas, not only of the twentieth century, but in the history of science. Heisenberg called this the principle of uncertainty. In one sense, it is the robust principle of the everyday."
"So what has all of this to do with Scottish history?" You may ask.
It does, in that in order to progress in our perspective on any studied subject we must understand that that the original perspective itself is imperfect. Whether it is physics, math, philosophy, or history, our view is subject to the principle of uncertainty inherent in the human condition. The number of historical accounts bearing different perspectives, interpretations and opinions on the same set of events is too numerous to count and each should be held, at least at some point to be just those; perspectives, interpretations and opinions, uncertain and imperfect. From there we may venture out to find our own "Ceres."
By A Number of Historical Accounts ...
... the Frasers first came to Scotland as a Norman family from Anjou and Normandy, in France, with William the Conqueror (1066). Their history in the South country regions of Stirling, Peebles-shire and Tweeddale in the 12th and 13th centuries is as colorful and impressive as any in Scotland; like Robert the Bruce or William Wallace. Out of the Norman family of Frasers grew a people distinctly different from their ancestors, the Clan Fraser of Lovat. Lovat in Gaelic means, 'swampy plain.' It is a place in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The foundation of the long since fallen tower of the Castle of Lovat still lay there. The Fraser country stems out from there in a 'V' shape on both sides of the Loch Ness, covering much ground. It is that Highland country that was the birthplace and since that time, home of the Highland Clan Fraser.

... by James Fraser, of Phopachy (1634-1709), author of The Wardlaw Manuscript, (begun in 1666) an oft referenced history of the Frasers of Lovat, that a (Sir) Simon Fraser, who reputedly died in 1287, was the progenitor of the Clan Fraser of Lovat.
The great Highland and Scottish historian Sir Fitzroy MacLean (The Highlanders and Scotland-A Concise History) understands the Lovat Family to have been established in those parts by a Sir Simon Fraser in 1254. Added to these records also, is a book edited by "Gillespie MacShimi the 38th,"(1795) that appears in actuality to have been written by Archibald Campbell Fraser, of Lovat, judging from it's foot notations, not only puts the Frasers in Scotland c. 800, but in Inverness c. 1242.
Other Historians State ...
... that in the Reign of Alexander II, Sir Simon Fraser, the renowned patriot, who was also bosom friend of William Wallace, on February 25, 1302-3, led 10,000 men to the astonishing three victories over 30,000 English, in one Day! These are known as the three battles of Roslin Muir. It is believed by some that the three crowns seen on the shield of the Lovat Coat of Arms are there to signify Sir Simon's great achievement. It may be said (in 1306) that the direct male line of this family of south country Frasers expired with him, after having the most considerable family in peebles-shire, during the Scoto-Saxon period of our history, from 1097-1306 Sir Simon had two daughters and his lands were married off into the families of Hay and Fleming.
"The Male Representation ...
... of the principle family of Fraser devolved, on the death of "The Patriot" Sir Simon, on the next collateral heir, his uncle, Sir Andrew Fraser. He and his son, Sir Simon, are frequently mentioned in the annals of the period for valorous exploits in defense of their country against the English usurper. Andrew is supposed to have died about 1308, surviving the death of his renowned nephew Sir Simon by only two years. He was, (says John Anderson, historian of the Clan) "the first of the name of Fraser to establish an interest for himself and his descendants in the northern parts of Scotland and more especially Inverness-shire, where they have ever since figured with such renown and distinction. His appearance as a Highland proprietor was about 1290". (Anderson's Historical Account p. 35.)
Sir Andrew Married A Wealthy Heiress ...
... in the county of Caithness, she was the daughter of the Earl of Orkney and Caithness and through her mother, daughter and heiress of Graham of Lovat, came into possession of the territory of that name. They settled in the district known as the Aird, between the Loch Ness and the Beauly Firth, in Inverness-shire. Then and for many centuries thereafter. He and his family comprised a great wealth and also, in the right of his wife, acquired a very large estate in the north of Scotland. They were also the authority within the sheriffdom of Inverness. One can find a number of historical accounts bearing information about Sir Andrew and though many seem to have a different opinion on how many sons he had, in the main there is concensus that "Simon was the immediate male ancestor of the Lords Lovat, whose descendants and dependents, The Clan Fraser, in the manner of the Celts, took the name of "MacShimidh", or son of Simon. (Anderson's Hist. Acct. pgs. 34-38) Anderson supports his findings with citations from the, History of the Gordons, (1726) I. p. 37, and another from, Douglas' Peerage I. p. 644.
"The Proper Highland Clan Fraser ...
(according to Anderson ) ... in Gaelic, Na Frisealach, - whose badge is the yew and the battle cry was, 'Castle Dounie', the old residence of the Chief, was that headed by the Lovat line in Inverness as above mentioned. The Lovat line are the only line of Frasers that became Celtic and founded a tribe, or Clan and all the natives of the purely Gaelic districts of the Aird and Stratherrick came to be called their name."
"Clan" Is A Gaelic Word ...
... meaning children, or family. The use of Gaelic, (pronounced "GAH-lik", as opposed to the Irish "GAY--lik) was limited for centuries to Highland people. Fraser Chiefs and Lords Lovat have historically been called "MacShimidh", as mentioned above, by their Clansmen. "MacShimidh" is also a Gaelic word, meaning "Son of Simon".
It has become common belief in many parts of the world that if one is Scottish, then one belongs to a Highland Clan. This is not the case, though there were Gaelic out-croppings in many parts of Scotland who shared much of the same culture. As time wore on, the differences became more pronounced and it appeared that Highlanders were cut of a different cloth entirely. One could speculate that their way of life was longer preserved due to their distance from English influence, or the fact that they were largely misunderstood and so feared, and as a result left more to themselves. But, if one is a Gael, one must thank the stars above. And if one is of a Highland Clan one must appreciate a priveleged existence every day, as Highland Clans are amongst the most unique and romantic features of Scotland, and the world. Highlanders were, different in their customs and outlook, their manners, their dress, their language, everything. There are still many differences found today.
The milleniums old Clan social system was not based on land ownership originally, but on the Clansmen and their Chief as a people. The Chief was entrusted to care for the land and the interest of the Clan as a whole. The Feudal System was imposed on the Clan system, but even so, they continued to bear striking resemblences to other tribal systems of the world, thousands of miles away, such as Native American tribes, as historians came to see, and Afghan tribes.
It Is, for Most Scots, ...
... hard to find much of their family history before the 18th century, as many records are lost or simply came to be passed in an oral tradition, but it is easy for all of us to appreciate the Highland ways and promote and keep strong the life of those customs and their value to us.
These Arms Show ...
... the traditional three cinquefoils, or Fraises, as they have come to be known, in the first and fourth positions and three crowns in the second and third positions.
Alternate beliefs about the crowns are that they were given to Sir Simon "The Patriot", of the South country Frasers by Robert The Bruce, for saving his life three times in the Battle of Methven. It has also been said that they were given by Robert the Bruce to Sir Alexander Fraser, Chamberlain of Scotland, because he married Robert's sister, Mary. It has thirdly been said that they were given to Sir Simon Fraser "Filius" (an explanative used to distinguish him from his father, also named Simon) for defeating three successive English armies - a total of 20, 000 men, with only 8,000 of his own, all in one day. That was the battle of Roslin Moor, 1302. All of these suggestions are speculative, and each is hard to prove. In any event they were carried from the south country Frasers to the Lovat line.
Our Chief's Crest Badge and Motto, "I Am Ready"
I Appreciate Being Provided With ...
... this place to air my thoughts and observations, considering the effort put forth by a few folks to get them here. I live in the mountainous region of Arizona, keeping a simple lifestyle much in the way an old Highlander would. I do not enjoy the creature comforts found in most homes today. I do not have an e-mail address, a telephone or a TV for that matter. Having explained all of that, I want to open the lines of communicaton. I am very interested in other peoples opinions, or information. If you have anything to tell me, please don' t hesitate. Address it, "Attn: Angus Fraser", in the subject field and send it C/O:
Your comments will be printed and faxed to me at the local general store.
Hopefully we can start to get a global perspective about our un-paralelled history.

The flooding and landslide devastation outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is unfathomably sad no matter how you look at it, but this photo of Leao, the mixed breed dog that refused to leave his owner Cristina Maria Cesario Santana's grave, puts a face on just what a tragedy the country is facing.
For two days, Leao sat beside his owner's grave in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janeiro, the area hardest hit by the flooding. Brazilians are now expecting more rain and more potential landslides. It's the country's worst flood disaster on record and, according to CNN, the death toll has now reached 655 in this mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, northeast of the city.
And while countless efforts have been made to help the humans in this flood, somehow this image of the loyal dog that will never fetch a ball with his owner or sleep on her feet again is one of the most gut wrenching.
To get an idea of how bad it is, see below:
At some point, Leao, the loyal puppy, will have to leave his owner's side, but for now, any of us who have dogs can relate to this story.
Sometimes the sheer magnitude of a news story like this -- hundreds of deaths, thousands made homeless, $72 million worth of rebuilding efforts to come -- can be hard to fathom. It doesn't make it any less tragic, but it's just hard to wrap your head around the devastation in a country far away. Somehow the dog brings it home.
The loyalty of dogs can't be overstated. Even though my dog sometimes makes me insane, the sight of this dog sitting so patiently, waiting for his beloved owner to scratch his ears or rub his belly or give him food and water, is so painful and pathetic, it makes the tragedy tangible.
I remember sitting in a horror movie once and being shocked when the entire theater -- having just watched multiple scenes of mayhem committed against humans -- erupted in screams when a dog was the victim. There is something about dogs and children. They are vulnerable and loving and no one ever wants to see tragedy befall them.
So, yes, it might seem trite to cry over a dog when so many humans have lost their lives. But anyone who has ever loved a dog knows different. Leao puts a face on this tragedy and his broken heart and undying loyalty is a symbol of all the pain and tragedy in the region.
Our hearts go out to everyone and especially to this dog that will hopefully have someone to take care of him.
Have you been following the flooding?

Real-Life Group Texts Are a Nightmare Waiting to Happen
Group texts are a great way to communicate with multiple people at once, but could be trouble in a different context.
In this video, we see what would happen if group texts happened in the real world.
Ugh, it ain't pretty, that's for sure. Maybe mass calls just shouldn't exist.

Going in to the 2012 fishing season, I knew I was going to be spending much more time on the water. Between guide trips, pre-fishing for tournaments and fun fishing, my schedule told me I would be on the water 4 to 5 days a week. That being said, the forecast for gas prices of $4.00 a gallon, was a huge concern for me.
On an average day of pre-fishing in my boat with a 250 HP outboard, I burn 10 to 20 gallons of gas – by far the biggest expense incurred for me in the sport of fishing. On tournament day or when guiding, it is hard to ignore the fact that time is money, and that the speed at which you get to a fishing spot will net you more time fishing in an 8 hour day. But I did feel that I needed an alternative for pre-fishing and fun fishing. I was determined to get a second boat that could take the edge off of my pre-fishing budget.
When I started shopping, my criterion was simple:
- The boat needed to be a flat bottom or modified V – I spend my fair share of time on the river, and a flat bottom is the best choice for running the backwater – I also enjoy deer hunting via boat and an occasional duck hunt was on my agenda as well. The boat needed to be in the 16' category and have a wide enough beam to be stable.
- I didn't need to go 70+ miles an hour, but one of my requirements was that I wanted to be able to see 30 mph. My research told me that if I wanted to touch 30 mph loaded in a 16' boat, I needed an outboard that was in the 40 hp range.
- I wanted a low maintenance outboard that was quiet, so what I really wanted was a 4 stroke motor. I have always hated the mess and expense (now $40 a gallon) that comes with 2 stroke oil.
- Finally, I wanted warranty on the boat and the outboard. Modern day outboards typically have a 3 year warranty, but typically there are incentives during certain times of the year in which you can add 2 to 3 years of warranty for little or no cost. Because I wanted a warranty, I was going to shop for new boats.
After shopping for a few weeks, I settled on a 16' flat with a modified-V bow – it was equipped with a 40 hp 4 stroke motor. This combo with me, 4 batteries, a full livewell and 150 lbs of miscellaneous fishing gear, is a 30 mph boat. It is plenty fast to get me off the water fast during inclement weather, yet it is a gas miser!
It didn't take me but a week to find out all of the benefits of having a second boat like this. It would be remiss to not touch on each of those benefits that I learned in my first year of running this boat:
- Fuel economy – on my maiden voyage, I pre-fished for a tournament on the Holcombe flowage. I fished for 14 hours and covered the whole lake. Some of this time was spent side-imaging, but most of my time was spent running and gunning. It had been so long since I had a boat with a 6 gallon gas tank I didn't know what to think. I had never owned a smaller 4 stroke motor. Throughout the day, I kept looking at the gas gauge on the tank and it was moving. I actually un-strapped the tank so I could shake it and tip it, but the gauge wasn't lying – it was full. At the end of the day, I stopped to top off the tank and it took 1.61 gallons of gas – wow!! On a day that I would have burned 15 gallons of gas ($60 worth) in the big boat – I just put in $6.44 in gas – an 89% gas savings! What I learned though the summer, is even if a person fished 6 times a month, the fuel savings alone, MORE than makes the boat payment! It was a no brainer for me!
- Learning new water – I installed RAM mounts, transducers, antenna receiver and power cables on my flat so I could use the same Humminbirds on the flat as I did on the big boat. When I would pull the boat off the trailer in the morning, I would immediately clear the current route. If I ran areas I was not familiar with, especially the backwater of the
Mississippi River, I could save a track at any given point. With the big boat it would take so much more time to idle around and store a track – I have put the big boat on a sand bar or hit rocks far too many times in my life. This flat broadened my horizons in regards to finding new water.
- Dodging the GPS pirates – the truth is, that in today's environment, a big, shiny bass or walleye boat is an easy target to follow around to fishing spots. The flat bottom is a subtle approach to pre-fishing. In olive drab green or camouflage boat, you can just go out and do your thing with out being followed like the Pied Piper. Stealth is one of the most important factors in today's competitive fishing.
- Fun fishing – I like to take advantage of the February and March walleye bite on the river. With the glass boat I didn't get out anywhere near as often as I would have liked. Something about ice chunks bouncing off the boat always made me sick. The flat almost welcomes the thought of not only have ice graze the boat, but you can skim over new ice with ease.
- Maintenance – besides being extremely quiet, the new 4 stroke motors are so easy to take care of that it is ridiculous. Most manufacturers require 1 oil change per 100 hours of use. For most anglers that is 1 oil change a year!
- Easy towing – you use less gas in your tow vehicle pulling 1,000 lbs behind you than towing a big boat. I get 15 mpg in the hauler towing the flat, and 11 mpg towing the big boat!
I have touched on only a few of the benefits of a second boat. Your imagination is the only limitation. I have friends that run tournaments in older glass boats. To save hours on the big motor and stretch the life out of their glass boat, they only run that boat on tournament day. All of their pre-fishing and fun fishing is from a flat bottom. It is pretty hard to argue that logic as well!
Once you do the math on your fishing expenses and recognize the other benefits of running a second boat, the decision is pretty simple. If you fish more than a couple of times a month, the boat payment is less than your savings – and that is the financial benefit of a flat! It truly can take your game to another level!

Cook grows more comfortable with changeup
OAKLAND -- Ryan Cook returned from a right forearm injury in early June and, for about two weeks, was not his usual self. He allowed six runs in seven appearances and gave up two home runs, watching his ERA rise to 4.58. Since then, though, the right-hander has been untouchable.
Entering Thursday's series opener against the Twins, Cook had not surrendered a run since June 22, a span of 18 outings. He has 13 strikeouts and three walks during that stretch.
In addition to feeling fully healthy, Cook said Thursday that he has addressed a mechanical flaw that had been giving him trouble since last season.
"I was working at trying to find it, but it was just evading me," he said. "I was able to find that with the help of Curt Young, our pitching coach, and we made a couple changes there, which physically help you, and then also obviously help you mentally."
Primarily a fastball-slider pitcher, Cook has also become more comfortable this year throwing a changeup. Never one to shake off signs from his catchers, he has used the changeup sporadically during his career depending on who's behind the plate.
D-backs catcher Miguel Montero loved the pitch; former A's catcher Kurt Suzuki -- who is now with the Twins -- stuck with the fastball-slider combo; and now, Derek Norris, John Jaso and Stephen Vogt are bringing it back.
"In them calling it, I've learned a little bit on how to use it and when I want to use it," Cook said. "I don't shake [them off] much at all, actually, so it's more of a testament to them trusting in it and calling it at the right times than it is me deciding when to throw it."
Most importantly, Cook's command has been superb.
"It really is all about the command for him," manager Bob Melvin said. "When his arm slot's there, his mechanics are sound, you're going to see the results that you see. He was an All-Star at a young age for us [in 2012], and he's pitching as well as he's pitched here, including that year."

Hamelin is set amid the gently rolling landscape of the Weserbergland hills and is an ideal base for scenic walks, bike rides, boat trips and tours on the water. The town also presents an opportunity to make friends with an animal that you'd normally go out of your way to avoid: the rat, which of course holds special significance for the locals.
Hamelin is a beautifully restored historical town with magnificent timber-framed and sandstone buildings, many of which date from the Renaissance period. The old quarter centres around Osterstrasse and Pferdemarkt square. Between them are narrow, winding lanes dotted with cafés and inns, cosy beer gardens and pretty little shops. It's the perfect area to stroll around, grab a bite to eat and browse for souvenirs.
Rats here, there and everywhere!
On the rat trail: the pavements in Hamelin are painted with thousands of these little animals which point the way to the main attractions in the town. Many of the sights are, of course, associated with the legend of the Pied Piper. So the story goes, a rat catcher was called to the town in 1294 but was subsequently cheated of his fee. In revenge, he lured the children from the town by playing beguiling melodies on his flute and they were never seen again. The Pied Piper house, one of Hamelin's largest and prettiest Renaissance buildings, stands right in the centre of town. As well as commemorating the fairytale, it also accommodates a restaurant. Don't worry though, the association with rats doesn't extend to the kitchen! In fact, the restaurant has an excellent reputation. The 'Wedding House' also pays tribute to the fable. Several times a day, a clockwork display of figures appears from a window of the building and tells the Pied Piper story. There is also a musical tribute: the Wedding House carillon chimes the Pied Piper melody at 9.35am every day, followed by the Weserlied at 11.35am. Every Sunday from mid-May to mid-September, an open-air Pied Piper play is performed at noon. Around 80 actors in historical costumes recreate the famous story of how the children of Hamelin went missing. 'Rats – The Musical' is another Hamelin institution and its name plays off the much-loved musical 'Cats'. Standing almost seven metres, the Tanzende Ratte sculpture installed on the banks of the Weser river offers a contemporary take on the fairytale. Gusts of wind set the rodent dancing in a joyous, gleeful display.
The other side to Hamelin
There's more to Hamelin than the Pied Piper tale, of course. Well worth visiting (and guaranteed rodent-free) are the town's beautiful churches. The Minster of St. Boniface dates back to the 9th century and is the oldest church in Hamelin. The market church of St. Nicholas was also built before 1200, while the Garrison Church from 1713 is a modest yet beautiful baroque building. A nice way to round off your stay in Hamelin is a shopping trip to the HefeHof. On the grounds of this former factory are shops selling organic produce and wine, specialist markets and international restaurants.

Glitch videos were commonplace after MLB 2K9's release but I never expected 2K Sports to make one of its one. That's the kind of penance 2K Sports has to do after MLB 2K9, I suppose.
So this year, we can expect balls to be hit when a bat swings through them, we can expect them to be caught when a fielder camps underneath them, and players will actually collide, rather slide through the astral projection of the guy covering first (and leaning in entirely the wrong direction.) Rad!
Serioudly, though. Don't overlook the better lighting and shading - everything looked like it was played on an overcast day last year - and the truer-to-life animations and signature motions (such as Mariano Rivera in the stretch.)
The demo is out now (on Xbox 360 only) if you want a look at how the game plays. The full version is out Tuesday.

Tesla Motors Delivers 500th Roadster
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A New Jersey philanthropist was the 500th person to take ownership of a Tesla Roadster, an important milestone for the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
Martin Tuchman, former chairman and CEO of Interpool, is chairman of The Tuchman Foundation and a board member of The Parkinson's Alliance and Parkinson's Disease Foundation of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He plans to charge his Roadster partly with solar energy thanks to photovoltaic panels he helped install throughout his hometown of Kingston, NJ.
"My Roadster drives like a dream -- it's amazing," said Tuchman, a former automotive engineer and owner of a 1967 Mercedes 250 and a 1993 Jaguar convertible. Tuchman converted his 1937 Chris-Craft into an electric boat so he could take it on nearby Lake Carnegie, which prohibits gas-powered boats. He plans to use his Roadster as his primary commuter car.
Tuchman took delivery of a Twilight Blue Roadster last weekend, a few weeks before the anticipated opening of a Tesla showroom in New York's Chelsea Art District. Greater New York is Tesla's largest market outside of California, and local EV owners enjoy numerous incentives.
Zero-emission vehicles are exempt from New Jersey sales, use and luxury taxes. Single occupants of alternative-fuel vehicles may also use the high-occupancy commuter lanes on the New Jersey Turnpike. These incentives are on top of a $7,500 US federal tax credit, which fully applies to all Tesla Roadsters.
Tesla will also soon be opening stores in Chicago, London, Seattle, Miami, Washington, Monaco and Munich. Tesla will begin deliveries in Europe this summer.
San Carlos, Calif.-based Tesla is the only production automaker selling highway-capable EVs in the United States or Europe. The Roadster beats nearly every other car for acceleration yet is twice as energy efficient as a Toyota Prius. It costs roughly $4 to refuel and can be completely recharged in as little as 3.5 hours.
Michael van der Sande, Tesla Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Service and Marketing, called the 500th delivery an important symbol for the world's newest production automaker.
"We now have more than 500 real-world customers providing valuable feedback on our cars and contributing to Tesla's spirit of continuous improvement," van der Sande said. "We intend to leverage our first-mover advantage and continue to build brand loyalty for years – from our 500th to our 500,000th delivery."
About Tesla Motors:
Based in California's Silicon Valley, Tesla Motors builds electric vehicles with exceptional design, performance and efficiency, while conforming to all North American and European safety, environmental and durability standards. The Roadster, which has a 0-to-60 mph acceleration of 3.9 seconds, is the only highway-capable EV for sale in North America or Europe. It is six times as efficient as rival sports cars and has a range of 244 miles per charge. Tesla expects to produce the Model S sedan in late 2011. The anticipated base price of the sedan will be $49,900 after a $7,500 US tax credit.

God's design for our lives includes stewardship of everything we have received. Most followers of Jesus give of their finances and volunteer their time, but stewardship also means responsible living with our cars, homes, energy consumption, water use, and so on. In these areas God provides an opportunity for wisdom and discernment on our part. At the very beginning of scripture, in Genesis 1, God outlines a partnership that is wider and greener than many of us realize. It is inconsistent if we slap our 10 percent into the collection plate and then head home in a gas-guzzling car and flip on all the lights.
