Nominations sought for Outstanding Biology Teacher Award
Nominations are now being accepted for the Outstanding Biology Teacher Award, which honors teachers of the life sciences. Teachers do not need to have a majority of their class load in the life sciences; they just have to have consistently taught and currently teach life sciences.
Criteria for Selection:
1. Candidates must be presently teaching biology/life science and must have devoted a significant portion of his/her career to the teaching of biology/life science.
2. Candidates from public, private, and parochial schools are eligible.
3. A minimum of three years of teaching experience is mandatory before applying for the award.
4. Candidates need not be members of National Association of Biology Teachers.
5. Unsuccessful candidates may be re-nominated from year to year.
6. Candidates may receive the award more than once, after 10 years.
A Selection Committee consisting of college biologists, school administrators, high school life science teachers, and possibly scientists from industry or government will help choose the state winner.
To nominate a teacher, email the following information to South Dakota Science Teachers Association President elect Julie Olson.
1. Name of nominee and school where he/she teaches
2. Email address and phone number of nominee
3. Your (nominators) name and email address or other contact information
The nominee will get an email detailing the guidelines to apply. Award applications must be completed by March 15. Last year's recipient was Jan Palmer of Aberdeen High School.

Hi Brenda,ReplyDelete
Israel Scott was my g-g-grandfather. My g-grandfather Albert Scott was his son from an earlier marriage. My branch hasn't any contact with the IL Scotts since the 1930's. I don't suppose you have any more info or photos relating to the Scotts? In any case, thanks for posting what you did, it all helps build the story.

When it comes to garlic, there's no wishy washy. People either can't live with it or they can't imagine life without it. For a bulb that fits neatly into the palm of one's hand, garlic inspires deep emotions across the spectrum worldwide.
Known as the "stinking rose," garlic figures into the lore, popular culture, history and cuisines many cultures from around the world. In the kitchen, it is a basic building block of flavor, the foundation of sauces, soups, marinades, spice rubs, curry pastes to name just a few. And what would a Caesar salad be without garlic?
What other vegetable inspires bon mots from all walks of life? A sampler:
- "Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good." Alice May Brock (of Alice's Restaurant fame)
- "You can never have enough garlic. With enough garlic, you can eat The New York Times." Journalist Morley Safer (1994)
- "Without garlic, I simply would not care to live. " Louis Diat, chef of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, 1910-1951
Garlic provides so much food for thought that the late filmmaker Les Blank made a movie about it. His 1980 documentary, Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers, features interviews with several Bay Area garlic lovers including Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse restaurant, which has hosted a garlic festival every July since 1975. (P.S. The festival continues this year just weeks after the restaurant's after re-opening in June, following a fire back in March.)
One of my favorite lines in the film comes from a voiceover of a man (perhaps Blank?): "There's no doubt that after you eat lot of garlic, you just kind of feel like you're floating, ultra confident," the voice says. "You're capable of going out and whipping your weight in wild cats."
Garlic returns to the silver screen 10 years later in the 1990 gangster film, Goodfellas, directed by Martin Scorsese. Even when the wise guys (as they refer to themselves) are locked up in prison, they refuse to suffer without garlic, even if it needs to be sliced painstakingly with a razor blade. The scene is priceless.
And now, for the stinking rose report...
Brief History
Garlic is among the oldest cultivated crops, dating to ancient Egypt and China. It's mentioned in many ancient texts, demonstrating its important role in emerging cultures and amazing lasting power for millennia. Below, a small sliver of the formative years and garlic's impact around the world:
In his book, Mediterranean Vegetables, culinary scholar Clifford A. Wright notes that the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of Egyptian pyramids with inscriptions referring to the garlic that pyramid workers ate during construction.
Garlic is mentioned in the Bible (Numbers 11:5), when the Israelites reminisce about (and perhaps long for) the food they ate as slaves: "We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for Nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick." (Numbers 11:5)
Cloves of garlic were found in the tomb of King Tutankamun when it was excavated in 1922.
Homer gives garlic a shout out in his Odyssey - Hermes gave garlic to Odysseus to protect him from the evil goddess Circe who turned men into swine. And it was duly noted by the likes of Aristotle and Hippocrates for its medicinal powers.
As documented in the The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, garlic got a mention in American Cookery, the first known American cookbook published in 1796. Author Amelia Simmons writes: "Garlicks, tho' used by the French, are better adapted to the uses of medicine than cookery."
Thirty-some years later, garlic makes a frequent appearance in Mary Randolph's cookbook, The Virginia House-Wife, published in 1824.
Factual nibbles
In India, garlic has long been revered for health benefits but considered verboten in the kitchen by monks and Brahmins (who see it as overstimulating and a distraction from meditation) and Jains (who oppose the violence of pulling garlic out of the ground).
California is the top garlic-producing state, accounting for more than 90 percent of this country's commercial garlic haul, most of which is grown in the central part of the state. For decades, the town of Gilroy, in the Santa Clara valley, has billed itself as the "Garlic Capital of the World," home to the renowned garlic farm Christopher Ranch and the annual garlic festival, now in its 35th year. But in the industry, Gilroy is known more as the hub for garlic processing (dehydrating, pickling) rather than fresh garlic production. In recent years, neighboring Fresno county has taken the lead in fresh garlic production.
The late great James Beard is a major force behind popularizing garlic in this country, when he shared his recipe for Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic in his 1974 book, Beard on Food. Nearly 40 years later, the recipe remains legendary.
Meet the Allium sativum, which boasts hundreds of varieties but is divided into two categories: hardneck (ophioscorodon) and softneck (sativum). Hardnecked garlic gives us the gift of garlic scapes, that tangle of green curlicued shoots that has become all the rage in farm-to-table eating. The shoots emerge above ground in late spring/early summer while the bulb continues to develop.
Mature hardnecks produce fewer but larger cloves; softnecks are reportedly easier to grow, more productive and last longer in storage - but alas, without the perk of scapes. Its early-stage counterpart is green garlic, young, soft bulbed garlic that is yanked early to thin crops but celebrated as a crop in its own right. With its soft white bulb of cloves still fused together and dark green top, green garlic is often mistaken for scallions and sometimes leeks.
Spanish Roja is an example of a hardneck variety, and one that ranks among the top three favorite garlic varieties in tastings conducted around the US. Examples of softnecks include Inchelium Red and Lorz Italian. All three of these lesser-known varieties are cultivated predominantly on small-scale farms. This is likely because they are quite labor intensive to grow, resulting in their being commercially unavailable. However, the subtleties of flavor between garlic varieties raises the bar for culinary expression, and we could all stand to get a bit more adventurous in our garlic choices.
Elephant garlic - a darling of supermarket produce sections in the 70s and 80s - favored for its mildly flavored, easy-to-peel cloves, is not a true garlic, but rather a type of leek (A. ampeloprasum).
Green garlic, which is by and large a farmers' market ingredient, makes its debut in late spring. By July, you'll start seeing head garlic at your favorite local food shopping spots, until the first frost or inventory runs out. Scapes lovers: Keep an eye out for those curlicues starting in June.
Environmental impact
Conventional garlic is not on the Environmental Working Group Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which means it's neither a model pesticide-free choice nor a major offender.
Over the past few decades, garlic's toll on the environment grew as the result of the globalization of agriculture. Until the early 1990s, most supermarket garlic came from California. Now more than half of all bulbs on US grocery shelves comes from China, which fulfills 90 percent of US garlic imports. (Argentina and Mexico fill in the gap.) The overseas garlic might be cheaper but comes with a heavier carbon footprint, courtesy of the all the oil needed to ship it to market.
If you remain unconvinced about shopping at a farmers' market or farm stand, in-season garlic might be the game changer. Locally sourced garlic won't just be fresher and more robust in flavor; it will have a distinctive personality, depending on which of the many hundreds of varieties the grower has brought to market. At the supermarket, it's nothing but generic one-note bulbs; at the farmers' market, it's a symphony.
What to look for
Green garlic should be just that - light green stalk and white bulb at the base, darker green tops - resembling a miniature leek. Stalks should be firm and free of discoloration and moisture.
Fully mature head garlic should have a paper-thin skin that covers all of its cloves, which ideally are firm and free of mold, bruises or any other dings. The tightness of the skin will vary depending on variety as well as age of the bulb (you'll notice that the skin loosens as garlic ages).
Long before it became a culinary star, garlic was used foremost as medicine and considered a panacea for sundry ailments, from impotence to smallpox, parasites to poor digestion.
Athough it's a good source of Vitamin B6, C, calcium, potassium and even protein, you'd have to eat a cup of garlic to enjoy those benefits (1 cup contains more than 8 grams of protein, for example). But where garlic shines and what continues to intrigue scientists is its repository of anti-inflamatory, anti-oxidative sulfuric compounds being studied for treating heart disease, controlling the common cold and lowering the risk of certain types of cancer. Scientists continue to study allicin and alliin (just two of garlic's many disease-fighting sulfur compounds) and their potential benefits in treating both arthritis patients and those suffering from arteriosclerosis.
In Historical Perspective on the Use of Garlic, a 2001 paper published in The Journal of Nutrition, Dr. Richard Revlin, professor of medicine at Cornell Medical College and a champion of linking diet to disease prevention, makes an observation worth chewing on: "It is fascinating to observe how cultures that never came into contact with one another came to many of the same conclusions about the role of garlic in the treatment of disease. Garlic was used for laborers with a view to improving their work capacity. Garlic was recommended for pulmonary and respiratory complaints... Contemporary research is tending to validate many of the earlier views concerning the efficacy of garlic. Folk wisdom should not be ignored because it may teach us valuable lessons.
What to Do with It
If stored well, garlic has a long shelf life, so it's prudent to buy at the height of the season wherever you live and store in a cool, aerated place to keep during the off-season. (Or try growing your own! See tips below.)
At room temperature, head garlic can last for months. It does not like humidity, which will invite rot - so keep out of the refrigerator. Green garlic, on the other hand, should be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in a towel or paper bag, and used within a week.
Growing garlic
It only takes one clove of garlic to produce an entire bulb. Plant in the fall in a sunny spot, pointy tips facing up, about 2 inches deep, 6 to 8 inches apart. Keep the skin on the cloves. The plant will go dormant in the winter but will resume growing in the spring. (You can cover with straw to protect during winter months). Harvest and dig up (don't pull) when the bottom third of the above-ground foliage starts to yellow.
Hang and cure in a cool, dark, well circulated area. You can also grow garlic in containers! Your pot must be at least 18 inches deep and 12 inches wide.
Cooking tips
As head garlic ages and dries (and shrinks), its flavor intensifies. It will also sprout as if preparing for the dormant months of winter, whether or not it's in the ground. That little green sprout (also known as a germ) imparts a bitterness, so it's a good idea to pry out before cooking.
How to peel garlic: You can pry away the ends with a paring knife or you can press on a clove with the flat side of a wide knife. And then there's the bowl trick, as demonstrated by Todd Coleman (then executive editor at Saveur) in a video that went viral a few years ago.
The optimal time to enjoy raw preparations of head garlic (pesto, persillade, pico de gallo, allioli) is during the summer, when it's newly cured and robust.
When you want the flavor of raw garlic but not the texture (vinaigrette immediately comes to mind), make garlic paste: Peel and coarsely chop a clove of garlic. Sprinkle sea salt (or your favorite coarse salt) on top. Hold a chef's knife in your dominant hand and lay it flat on top of the garlic. Place the palm of your other hand on top of the knife and press down on the garlic as if you were smearing it onto the cutting surface, until the garlic is pulverized and paste-like.
Garlic burns quickly, so when cooking in oil with other aromatics such as onions or peppers, add it last in the series. When cooking a pot of beans, a whole clove of garlic adds a layer of flavor and can save the day when you're low on herbs and spices.
Here's a great tip from James Peterson in his The Vegetables: A to Z:
A lot of recipes make garlic bread unnecessarily complicated by suggested that chopped garlic be combined with melted butter and the mixture the brushed on the toasted bread. The easiest method is simply to toast the bread, rub each slice with a peeled garlic clove, and then just spread with butter or brush with olive oil. One medium garlic clove is enough for about six slices of bread.
Whole Roasted Garlic
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel the outermost layer of skin and place the garlic head in a small dish, root side down. Add about 1/4 cup of water (or just enough to cover bottom of dish), then drizzle top of garlic with olive oil. Cover with foil. Roast for 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove from the dish and allow to cool before handling, as the garlic will be extremely hot. Squeeze out of cloves and onto grilled bread, into sauces, folded into mashed potatoes or however you like it.
Leek and Green Garlic Risotto
Adapted from Local Flavors by Deborah Madison
The green garlic-leek sauté can be used as the foundation of a brown rice, quinoa or barley pilaf. Have fun with this combination and report back!
Green Garlic and Leeks:
4 medium leeks, white parts only
3 large heads green garlic
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup white wine
salt and pepper to taste
6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups Arborio or other short-grained rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup chopped chervil or parsley, and/or leftover green garlic tops
Zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Quarter leeks lengthwise, cut them crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and wash well. Remove any tough papery husks from garlic, then finely chop bulbs.
Melt butter in a saute pan. Add leeks and green garlic, stir to coat, then add wine and cook over medium-low heat until leeks are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside while you cook the rice.
Have stock simmering on the stove.
Melt butter in a wide soup pot over medium heat. Add rice and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Pour in wine and simmer until it is absorbed, then add 2 cups of the stock. Simmer until it has been absorbed, then raise heat to medium and begin adding stock 1/2 cup at a time. Stir energetically and continue adding liquid after each addition is absorbed. Rice is done when tender with a slight bite, about 35 minutes.
Stir in leek-green garlic saute, cheese and herbs. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Makes four servings, and terrific leftovers.

November marks Diabetes Awareness Month. Most people believe diabetes to be a benign disease, one that does not cause high risk complications and is easily managed through proper insulin administration. However, diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and increases one's risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nervous system damage and amputation.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that impairs the body's ability to use food for energy. The hormone, insulin, made in the pancreas, is a hormone that allows glucose (sugar) to enter cells and be converted to energy. When diabetes is not controlled, glucose and fats remain in the blood and, over time, damage vital organs. There are several types of diabetes: Type I, Type II, prediabetes and gestational diabetes.
Type I – usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Type I diabetes can be caused by genetics, environment or an autoimmune disorder. It affects 5% of the diabetic population and there is no known way to prevent this type.
Type II – is linked to obesity and physical inactivity. It is also associated with older age, family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, race, and ethnicity. This type of the disease affects 90-95% of the diabetic population.
Prediabetes- is a condition in which a person has blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. An estimated 57 million American adults had prediabetes in 2007. People with this condition have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Gestational Diabetes – is a form of glucose intolerance diagnosed during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes occurs more frequently among African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians. It is also more common in obese women and women with a family history of diabetes. Gestational diabetes requires treatment to normalize maternal blood glucose levels to avoid complications in the infant. Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 35%–60% chance of developing diabetes during the 10–20 years following their pregnancy.
Diabetes is a costly disease with $1 out of every $10 spent on health care going towards diabetes and its complications. Total costs (direct and indirect) of diabetes are $174 billion annually. Furthermore, people with diagnosed diabetes have medical expenditures that are about 2.3 times higher than medical expenditures for people without diabetes.
If current trends continue, 1 in 3 Americans will develop diabetes sometime in their lifetime, and those with diabetes will lose, on average, 10–15 years of life.The United States saw a 136 percent increase in the number of people with diabetes between 1980 and 2007. Now, nearly 24 million Americans have the disease. However, research has shown that Type II diabetes, which affects the majority of diabetics, is preventable. Lifestyle changes, including weight loss and an increase in the amount of physical activity per week, can reduce the rate of onset of type 2 diabetes by 58%. Further, disability and premature death are not inevitable consequences of diabetes. People with diabetes can prevent premature death and disability by controlling their blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids and by receiving other preventive care in a timely manner through proper medication administration and lifestyle changes.
Making those lifestyle changes with regard to diet and exercise are not easy. However, the health costs and risks for not making those changes is enormous. So – let's raise the level of awareness for this disease so we can prevent future cases and help those already afflicted with the disease to better manage their symptoms. As part of our pledge to stop diabetes, Nash & Associates will be posting periodic fitness tips, statistics and maybe an occasional recipe or two for healthy alternatives to some of our favorite not-so-good for you dishes.
If you have a health tip or dietary trick to share in support of Diabetes Awareness Month, please post a comment below! Tell us your story of how this horrible disease has affected you, a family member or a friend or and share with all of us some great stories of how you, a family member or friend beat this dreaded disease.

"I think that any and all installers need better and more clear disk preparation ("partitioning") utility. It should emphasize the difference between slices and partitions."
I completely agree here. While PC-BSD and DesktopBSD (if I remember correctly) stuff everything into one partition (which may lead to problems if inconsistencies and disk errors start occuring), FreeBSD's sysinstall has an "auto" setting that does a ood job, but you still have to know what you're doing. I agree that having everything in / can be quite comfortable (don't need to plan / know about disk capacity occupation tendencies) and surely is okay for users who just want to try and delete, but for professional users who know about the advantages of proper partitioning this won't be a solution. Maybe some defaults (all in /, partitions autoconfigured, partitions entered manually) could be a way to go?

I'd been thinking about them for some time and yesterday dared to buy their debut album In The Flat Field finally:
And I'm really enjoying them. What do you think about them?

Apart from Bela Lugosi's Dead and a decent cover of Ziggy Stardust I thought they were one of the worst of the Bowie fixated Gothic bands of the 80's. (although perhaps all Gothic inspired bands have an entry level Bowie fetish?)
The Cure, Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs and Joy Division were streets ahead IMO.

Ah, Bauhaus... The very first songs I managed to play were "Kick in the Eye", "Dark Entries" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead", when I was 17.
So, Bauhaus is a long story for me...
I have always been pleased to hear a band which could enrich its music without losing a true writing identity and focus on the creation of a rather daring artistical project. Only Siouxsie and the Banshees could compare to them, as the Cure had turned to an auto-parody for years and Joy Division was a bit monolithic (not to mention my personal problems with the singing of late Ian Curtis).

I ain't a massive Joy Division fan BTW but what do you mean by monolithic ?
Although I agree the Cure eventually degenerated into self parody, they were still pretty damn nifty when Bauhaus were enjoying their 15 minutes of fame ?

Shouldn't that be 'Double Dare' to buy In the Flat Field. Anyway, nobody will be surprised to hear me defend Bauhaus and especially this album as I sometimes have it as my Avatar thingy! I love it. I see it seperately to all their other discs as it was the only one I bought when it came out. (And to me it has a very different sound to later efforts) The first two tracks 'Double Dare' and the title track just amazed me when I first heard it. Original and inventive. (Dark Entries is not on original record).
Calliing them Bowie fixated is just lazyness They did do Ziggy but they did it as a joke (A very good one mind you) . Bowie liked them enough to invite them to do the intro to The Hunger.
ITFF is quality.

Like some of the others in this thread, I like Bela Lugosi and little else by them. I don't know why, I just never cared for them as a whole.
The weird thing is that I like most of the derivatives that I know about: I absolutely love Love and Rockets, "Express" is one of my all time favorite albums and "Earth, Sun, Moon" is great as well. Tones on Tail was great as well, I really would have liked to have heard more from them. Peter Murphy's solo work is great as well, he has such a compelling voice.

Nah, I might be wrong but at least I took the trouble to research it: (from an Interview with Q Magazine June 1992) - there are countless other examples that betray the Bowie fanboy clone.
"It's the Jungian analysis thing. I try to avoid the transference of their interpretation of my personality on to me, this preconceived montage of who you are."
Has Murphy ever experienced these feelings himself?
"I did when I met Bowie," he admits. "I played a part in the film The Hunger. Catherine Deneuve was there too, so it was doubly strange for me. But I sat there with Bowie and I thought, Well, there he is. And that was it. He was there as a human being and the whole thing was exorcised. I immediately felt OK about it. That first moment to me was very important. I thought, Of course, here is a person doing a job."
And, during this historic encounter, did Bowie happen to mention that Murphy had shamelessly appropriated his singing style?
"No, he didn't," our slender chum snaps. "Why should he? It isn't true. My voice is much lower and much more operatic. I don't agree with that idea at all."
". . . All right, I sang like him when Bauhaus did Ziggy Stardust. That was the entire point. But Bowie didn't mention anything to me about my vocals sounding like his, just like I didn't mention to him the fact that his voice contained traces of Dylan, Iggy Pop, Anthony Newley and Frank Sinatra. It's been overplayed. It's a cliché that I sound like Bowie. It's just a cliché."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, those scoundrels in the British press were very fond of misquoting a singer they once described as a man wedged firmly up his own exhaust pipe.

So he was a little surprised to find Bowie was a normal human and he was a fan. I think I would feel similarly as would a lot of young people meeting someone like Bowie. (Or anyone they are a fan of). I don't deny they were fans I just think to write them off for this is a bit harsh. We may as well stop listening to a whole rafter of music produced since the 60's for similar reasons.
I listen to ITFF and I don't hear David Bowie! Maybe I'm deaf!
They might not be as good as those bands from the 80's you mention but I disagree about how far off they are with at least this one.

Whoops, just remembered another Bauhaus track I like She's in Parties
Damn...God in an Alcove was pretty neat too
Perhaps I was a bit harsh - they do certainly have merit in small doses.

I think they are brilliant, not Bowie at all really :-) well, the vocals are obviously, but the music not, more like a spooky take on Joy Division.
In the Flat Field is a good place to start, I think only Black Sabbath's debut is equally creepy.

No, No, NO (I think they were from Northampton originally ?) My unadulterated loathing of the unrepentant poofs a.k.a. the English is restricted to those from their nest that run around after a white leather orb wearing white jerseys adorned with 3 lions. (You should know my untrammelled racism is purely a sporting neurosis by now )

I loved Bauhaus "back in the day" but not as much as a friend if mine who had the design from the Ziggy Stardust single tattooed on his upper arm. Unfortunately, he had his arm tensed while the tattooing was done, so the picture went a bit skewwhiff when he straightened it. It's since been tattooed over.
Burning From The Inside is one of my favourite Bauhaus albums, it takes me back to teenage evenings at another friend's house. He had 3 LPs; as well as the Bauhaus one he had Mudslide Slim by James Taylor and a Creedence Clearwater Revival album. A strange combination.

Time and trends didn't move as fast in the early 80s as they do now, so by the time Bauhaus starting being played regularly on college radio in the American midwest I believe they had already broken up.
I personally never took to them much back then, but after seeing this thread today I dug out some old compilation cassettes copped off of Wichita State University's KMUW after-midnight show circa 1983-1985 and was a bit surprised how many Bauhaus tracks appear on them. I agree with the Bowie influence observations above for the most part, especially the vocals. But listening to them a quarter-century later I'm surprised they're a bit more interesting now then they were in 1983. They certainly seem more authentic than Love & Rockets, who always struck me as too commercially-minded to be taken all that seriously.

I only have one Bauhaus CD that I bought about twenty years ago and haven't listened to it in almost as many years. I quite liked it but bought it for "Bela Lugosi's Dead" since The Hunger was one of my favourite movies, and The Hunger soundtrack did not have it on it. I also bought individual classical CDs for all of the music used in it (those classical pieces have remained favourites). It was a compilation CD -- it's in storage. I remember liking "In the Flat Fields" a lot from that CD.
A friend of mine offered me 25 bucks for the Bauhaus CD just for the privilege to destroy it with extreme prejudice -- I was too proud to accept.

Tommy Rhodes netted his first career hat trick last night for IMS en-route to a 6-0 shutout of Central Lee that pushed IMS's record to 6-1 and 5-0 in conference play.
Rhodes started the scoring early and IMS held the 1-0 lead until late in the first half when they would explode with three goals in the final few minutes.
Matt Libby made it 2-0 on a shot from just outside the box before Rhodes picked up his second score after weaving through the defense and sliding the ball home. Justin Boller set up Nicholas Yoder's first score this season to make it 4-0 at the end of the half.
Dillon Bender added a goal in the second half to make it 5-0, pouncing on a rebound as IMS continued to apply pressure. Rhodes would add the final tally with the helper from Reggie Hostetler.
The defense, anchored by Chris Perez, and keeper Ben Brenneman combined with Joel Shetler, notched the fourth IMS shutout this season
IMS travels to Burlington Notre Dame Thursday for a rematch with the Nikes. IMS defeated Notre Dame 3-0 back on the 17th.

A friend of mine from when I was in high school is having a baby boy -- his first child. I wanted to make him something special -- something I would love too. I am much better at girl quilts. I have five boys, and our house is filled with girly quilts. So I was a little worried about whether I had the necessary boyish fabrics to make the perfect quilt. I have to say, I feel successful. I LOVE this quilt.
I used the backing fabrics as my guide and just pulled fabrics from my stash in those colors. I could not be happier with the result.
Pattern is here.

Navistar, Caterpillar Joint Venture in Phase II
September 29, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Navistar, Caterpillar Joint Venture in Phase II
Caterpillar Inc. and Navistar International Corp. today (Sept. 29) announced the next phase of cooperation between the two companies to develop, manufacture, sell and support vocational and on-highway trucks for the North America market and the rest of the world.
Under the terms of this new relationship, NC(2) will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Navistar and through a new brand licensing agreement, both International and Caterpillar branded trucks will continue to be distributed through both International and Caterpillar dealers outside of the United States.
In June of 2008, the two companies announced plans to form an alliance for the on-highway truck business. This led to the creation of a 50/50 joint venture called NC(2) Global LLC.
"This next phase will move the relationship to a structure and business model that will be similar to the business relationship we have with Navistar for our North American vocational trucks," said George Taylor, Director of Caterpillar's Global On-Highway Truck Group. "As we have looked at the success of the Cat vocational truck launch in North America, we believe that a similar business model for commercial trucks for the rest of the world makes the most sense for our customers," Taylor added.

On May 10, the Bearfootin Bears returned to downtown Hendersonville. The painted bears, sponsored by local businesses to raise money for nonprofits, will be displayed downtown until they are sold in October at the 11th annual Bearfootin' auction. The Times-News will profile each bear here in the Community section leading up to the auction in the fall.
What was the inspiration behind the design of the bear?
Weinsoff: I wanted to create something that was positive and easily recognizable. I thought Spock was an excellent choice because currently Sci-Fi is very big in pop-culture, but because this character has been around for many decades, and still remains extremely popular, he would be known by people of all ages. He represents a peaceful and positive figure and his name reflects that sentiment, as it is a pun on his salute/catch phrase: "Live Long and Prosper."
How did you execute creating your design on the fiberglass?
Weinsoff: After a little sanding and applying a coat of primer, I painted the body and the clothing using acrylic artist's paints. I used ribbon and glue from a craft store for his uniform embellishments. To make his ears pointy and to modify his paw to Spock's well-known hand salute, I used Bondo (a product often used in auto body repair work).
Briefly discuss the mission of the organization benefitting from the bear. Why did you get involved with this particular nonprofit and how is it reflected in the design of the bear?
Weinsoff: I have several friends who are members of Agudas and have worked with some of them in the past for a few of the many local charities they work with by donating my artwork for auction and attending benefits.
I wanted to help support their Downtown Bear because it is the first one from the only Synagogue in Hendersonville. I believe they wanted to take the opportunity to participate in something that would benefit this wonderful community. Interfaith Ministries is the recipient and I thought it was very fitting, as well as inspirational.
Who was involved in the overall creative process to bring this bear to downtown, and what role did everyone play?
Weinsoff: I came up with the idea to make a Spock-inspired bear and how to execute it, but i did meet with a committee comprised of Agudas members. It was quite a fun meeting and after I presented my plans they unanimously decided they were on board!
How do you feel all of the elements of your bear (from nonprofit beneficiary, design and sponsorship) represent the community as a whole?
Weinsoff: In some ways I felt a Spock-inspired bear would be a little mysterious and loved the idea that people could look at him and speculate, discuss and come up with their own opinions about him. In the end, he is a positive figure who represents peacefulness and intelligence. He is a character who has been around for a long time and a very loved one by anyone who enjoys science fiction (as well as people who are not as familiar with the genre).
In addition, the chosen beneficiary of this bear is Interfaith Ministries. When they let me know this was their choice, it felt so right to me. It is a cause Agudas Israel has long supported, and Spock does represent tolerance and acceptance of people from all cultures and belief systems with peacefulness being the underlying goal.
I think it helps to enforce and nurture the ideas that as different and diverse as we all may be, we can still come together to help each other.

Picochip announced the first in its next generation of picoXcell™ femtocell chips, the PC3008. The new device is optimized for high-volume cost-sensitive consumer applications and maintains Picochip's leadership in this market as carrier deployments are accelerating.
The PC3008 is the first in the PC30xx family of devices, Picochip's third generation of femtocell (Home NodeB) devices, following the market-creating PC202 and the industry-standard PC3xx series. It supports eight users with Release 7 HSPA+ (21 Mbps downlink, 5 Mbps uplink), and embodies Picochip's field-proven robust PHY, already approved by many operators, reducing the risks and time-to-market for system developers. It is manufactured using 40 nm process technology and features a fast (950 MHz) ARM11 processor with TrustZone®. Compared to previous SoCs it enhances security functions and increases integration, reducing external component count and hence bill-of-materials (BOM). It also includes optimized support for next generation low-cost and low-power femtocell radios.
The PC3008 integrates the key components of a 3G femtocell into an a QFN package just 12 mm (0.5") square, enabling OEMs to produce smaller and more cost-effective femtocells. As a demonstration of the low power, small size and integration that PC30xx series devices will enable, Picochip shared an example of an HSPA+ femtocell in a USB dongle – the world's smallest 3G base station.
"The rise of the femtocell is causing a fundamental rethink in the way we build, run and use mobile networks," commented Picochip CEO Nigel Toon. "Picochip's technology is in the vast majority of femtocells deployed today, driving and enabling that change. With the PC3008 and the forthcoming devices we are extending our leadership: As well as an industry-leading silicon design, we have invested heavily in system test to guarantee the most robust PHY available and the most complete reference design."
"In 2010 we saw 17 operators offer femtocells commercially, with over 1 million units shipped. That is expected to accelerate swiftly going forward in 2011," said Aditya Kaul, Practice Director, Mobile Networks at ABI Research. "Residential femtocells form the largest segment of deployments so far and is expected to remain the dominant market going forward. With smaller form factors and reducing costs, the integration of femtocells with home gateways becomes much more likely. Although we have seen increasing competition in the femtocell silicon market, Picochip remains in a strong position for the UMTS/HSPA femtocell segment and the new USB form factor is proof that they continue to innovate, push the boundaries and drive carriers to adopt femtocells much more aggressively going forward."
According to ABI's most recent report, there were 1.3 million femtocells shipped in 2010, rising to 70.2 million in 2015, a 154 percent CAGR.
Picochip is delivering the widest portfolio of femtocell technologies, from residential to the 64-user systems for enterprise and public access. The PC302 is the industry standard for cost-sensitive residential systems (3GPP Home NodeB), the same application as the forthcoming PC3008. The more powerful PC323 supports 24 users, receive diversity and MIMO and is being used in enterprise femtocell systems being deployed by carriers this year, while the PC333 is the highest-specification femtocell chip on the market, with up to 64 users and meeting the 3GPP Local Area Base station standard (LABS).
As well as the device itself, Picochip offers complete reference designs including hardware platforms, radio designs, together with manufacturing support and complete protocol stack. The availability of ultra-small femtocells will allow operators to easily develop HSPA+ home-base station capabilities to appliances such as residential gateways, cable modems and set-top boxes. The development builds on Picochip's optimized range of silicon and software products for high-volume manufacturers of residential HSPA+ femtocells, which deliver best-in-class system power budget, and have reduced the total component cost of a 3G femtocell to significantly less than $50.
The PC3008 will be shipping in volume by end of the year. Other devices in the PC3xxx family will be announced later this year.
Separately, Picochip is showing the world's first over-the-air demo of an LTE femtocell (Home eNodeB, Local Area NodeB). Developed with Continuous Computing, this has been shortlisted for the GSMA Awards in the 'Breakthrough technology' category.
These products and demonstrations will be on Picochip's stand at Mobile World Congress 2011, Hall 1, stand 1D56.

When it comes to dining out, people want much more from a restaurant than just good food. They want an experience.
According to the National Restaurant Association, there are currently 990,000 restaurant locations in the United States. So restaurants across America need to constantly one-up each other and find the most creative and bizarre themes to keep them alive in this competitive industry.
Dancing with drag queens or indulging in cuisine from war zones are just a couple of off-the-mark dining attractions one can experience in the U.S. CNBC spoke to the owners behind some of America's most innovative restaurants and found out what truly sets them apart.
Read ahead to see our list of unusual American restaurants.

Winick Batman has been good. I wasn't going to pick this up because I like to move on with my comic reading but this should be decent.
by Zero » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:24 pmAll I know is I have Batman up to #638 and I never picked up the second half of the story due to IC making it sound stupid. I was trade waiting at the time because I really enjoyed the first half but finding out that the reason for the return came from an unconnected to anything Bat-like reason put me off. That's a perfectly valid reason! It's like OMD causing Bucky's return or House of M bringing back Hawke... Nevermind.

by thefourthman » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:00 pm
I like what I have read of Winick's Batman, like I said, my current run to date begins with 638. I enjoyed the second half very much. I was just trying to figure out how something that came out sometime after this story ended made him lose interest in it. He claims (and I will take his word for it cause I could care less - although I would assume it was issue 5, cause six and 7 were post year jump) that Inifinite Crisis #6 or a related tie-in caused him to lose interest in the book is reading so he stopped halfway through, and trade waited the rest but after the offending issue came out lost interest altogether. IC 5 couldn't have come out earlier than 5 months after the final issue of the Under the Hood arc.
I just think (as a lot of times with Winick's work) there is a little creative memory going on here.
Winick brought Jason Todd back and for whatever reason never explained it. DC explained everything wacky that happened for that little two year period as superboy punch, when most of it had to do with the editors not doing their job. Regardless, the bullshit reason for everything that happened back then turned him off this one book? It seems odd to me, unless he dropped all DCU books, but 5 months early seems weird too.
I just don't understand it and wanted to. That's all.

Awesome possum. If I can find an issue of SHIELD #1 (for a relatively cheap price - no second printings), then I'll join in next week. As for this week, I just don't care for Red Hood.

Jude picked XMF two picks in a row, but they weren't consecutive issues.
by BlueStreak » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:20 pmRed Hood: The Lost Days Review.
To preface, I've only been reading the Batman books for about a year. I figured the whole Batman: Reborn relaunch gave me a chance to jump on with relatively little problems. So, I've never read any of the Under the Hood stuff. I knew that Jason Todd was back via reality punch, I knew he was angry for the world, and I knew that he's an antihero at best and a villain at worst. I also know that he has a surprising handle on social networking and viral marketing due to his Batman and Robin arc. But other than that, he's kind of a blank slate to me.
So, we kick off this mini-series with Ra's a Ghul informing his daughter Talia about Jason Todd's death. Talia, being the concerned love interest of Batman that she is, keeps tabs on Gotham and eventually comes into the possession of one half brain-dead Jason Todd. She takes him in, cares for him, and is forced to make a desperate move when Ra's tells her that Jason has to go.
This was a shockingly engaging and enjoyable comic. For a mini-series that appeared to be filler material designed to suck in Batfanatics, Judd Winnick engages casual fans of the Batman family and makes the reader care about the story he has to tell. Winnick wisely chooses not to disclose how Jason Todd came back to life, nor does he focus on Todd's charactization at all. Instead, Winnick uses Talia as the vessel to make the reader care about Todd, by focusing on what her love for the Dark Knight leads her to do. Winnick obviously gets Talia a Ghul and knocks her characterization out of the park.
Artwise, Pablo Raimondi does a serviceable job. While his art is not fantastic, it doesn't distract from the story, which is what truly is necessary in this case. I don't know if this is Raimondi's first work with DC or if I just haven't paid attention to him before, but I certainly hope that he's used more often by DC as he's a better artist than many of DC's other standard fill-in artists.
Overall, while I wouldn't reccomend this to the standard non-reader, this is a solid book for even the most casual of comic book readers. If you like the Batman family, then you will enjoy this book.
Story: 8.5
Art: 7
Overall: 7.75

Friday was a landmark occasion for the Heartland Flyer, as it boarded its one-millionth passenger.
Rooke Jackson, an Oklahoma State University student, was selected as the honoree, having ridden the Heartland Flyer more than 150 times since its inception in 1999. Rooke Jackson's father, Wayne J. Jackson, and his grandfather, Wayne R. Jackson, joined him on the trip. Wayne was picked up at the Pauls Valley stop. Ardmore was one of the stops for the Jackson family as part of a celebratory journey to Fort Worth, Texas.
The youngest Jackson said he and his family would visit the sites in Fort Worth before boarding the train for a return trip Friday afternoon. The Heartland Flyer is jointly sponsored by the Oklahoma and Texas transportation departments.
"TxDOT would like to thank the local communities for their support of the Heartland Flyer passenger service, and we look forward to the continued success of this state-supported route," said Erik Steavens, TxDOT Rail Division director. "We are pleased with the positive impact the Heartland Flyer has had on both the economy of the region mobility and the associated environmental benefits.
"We'd also like to congratulate the 'millionth' rider and wish the Jackson family many more, enjoyable trips on the route."
At the start of the trip, Jackson was congratulated during a brief ceremony at the Paul Adams Memorial Platform at the Oklahoma City Amtrak Station. Amtrak also recognized its 500,000th passenger in 2007. The Heartland Flyer is consistently ranked among the best in the Amtrak network for customer satisfaction.
"Each and every time a passenger boards the Heartland Flyer, we want that trip to be the very best experience for them," said Craig Moody, Rail Programs Division manager for the Oklahomd Department of Transportation. "The high customer service marks speak to the professionalism of the care and service by Amtrak. It is extremely important to us to keep a pulse of passengers' travel experiences, and constantly strive for improvements."

I will still have letdowns even after LO has started just doing the fluttery comfort suck, if I so much as think of milk or the baby or warm liquids (I think my brain is hooked on making milk, haha!)
Also, for curiousity's sake, what happens in an overfed (by bottle) baby?
I'm not actually concerned about the health of my baby, just wondering, because that's how my mind works, I just want to know everything.

If you buy an Apple iPhone 5 you'll be something very good for the U.S. economy. The chief economist at J.P. Morgan, Michael Feroli, estimates that sales of the new iPhone could possibly add from 1/4 to 1/2 percent to the annualized growth rate of U.S. gross domestic product in the last quarter of the year. Since the nation's total GDP is only expected to grow 2% in the last quarter, the iPhone 5 alone could make up 25% of the entire country's economic growth!
A Feroli put it in financial geek-speak, "Calculated using the so-called retail control method, sales of iPhone 5 could boost annualized GDP growth by $3.2 billion, or $12.8 billion at an annual rate."
Analysts at J.P. Morgan predict that Apple will sell 8 million iPhone 5s this year, each with an expected retail price of around $600. Add in a couple of adjustments to account for the fact that most of us up our carrier contracts rather than pay full retail, and the price of each phone still puts $400 into the economy.
Feroli added that his estimate for annualized growth should be taken with a grain of salt, as it "seems fairly large," but he points out that the iPhone 4S launch a year ago significantly increased retail sales that month. Both online sales and computer sales had their largest monthly increase on record.
Remember this when you're handing over a few hundred bucks for your new iPhone. You're making a contribution to putting the U.S. back on the road to prosperity.

United Parcel Service reported fourth-quarter earnings below analysts' estimates and set a weaker-than-expected profit forecast for 2013, sending its shares lower.
UPS, the world's largest package-delivery company, said on Thursday that it expected earnings to rise 6 percent to 12 percent in 2013, to $4.80 to $5.06 per share, below the average Wall Street forecast of $5.11.
The company posted a fourth-quarter net loss of $1.75 billion, or $1.83 per share, after a $3 billion noncash charge for pension accounting. In the year-earlier period, it earned $725 million, or 74 cents per share.
Factoring out one-time and noncash items, the profit came to $1.32 per share, below the analysts' average estimate of $1.38, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue rose 2.9 percent to $14.57 billion from $14.17 billion.
After the earnings announcement, the company's shares fell in pre-market trading. (Click here to see how UPS shares are trading after the closing bell.)
Earlier this month UPS dropped its $7 billion bid for Dutch delivery firm TNT Express after European regulators said they would veto the deal, citing antitrust concerns.

Surgical Steel Flesh Tunnel is a classy jewelry piece ideal for stretched earlobes though you may use it for many other stretcher piercing types.
They are made of a sleeve of Surgical Steel, so they are body-friendly, smooth and comfortable. They have one fixed lip and one threaded lip, so it's very easy to insert and remove the flesh tunnel. All you need to do is to unscrew the lip. It eliminated the need for an O-ring.
These flesh tunnels have an inner diameter of 7 mm.
They will make your piercing into a peep hole to see right through your body.
Please note: These flesh tunnels are priced individually. For a pair, please order two.

Very quick delivery, inspite of the need to manufacture the pieces. They seem to be quality pieces. I am currently stretching the ear lobe openings from 0 to 00 so I can install the Tunnels. Great price. I will definitely order from you again.

I couldn't be happier about my latest jewelry pieces. My old tunnels (which I purchased in haste, and before finding Chain Gang), were made of thin material, wouldn't stay tightened, and lost their luster quickly. My new tunnels are extremely well made, I don't have the problem of the thread stripping when I take them out to clean, and speaking of clean, these things SHINE!
Be good to yourself. Buy quality body jewelry, which you can find here. When people stare-whether it's to criticize (lol) or admire-you want to look your best!!

First, I would like to thank you for the excellent service. I wear large guage piercings and requires more time because of the manufacturing. I have purchased straight barbells and deluxe insertion tapers along with different gauges of surgical steel flesh tunnels..
The products I have received are exceptional in quality, very satisfied.
I had recently purchased some products from another source. Very disappointed! They were packaged in one large plastic bag, not labeled, and wrapped in newspaper.....stuffed into a envelope, with the name of their company....very disappointed that they were not more discreet....
I am very happy with your products and the shipping is very good.
Wish I could find a larger diameter for the deluxe taper...would like to be able to strecth to an inch..
Thank you! Don

I recently purchased a SS flesh tunnel in 9/16\" gauge...It\'s perfect...
It works and feels great, exactly as expected from The Chain Gang...

I think that aside from the obvious reasons, people didn't like Remember11 because there was no satisfaction that we got because the whole mystery wasn't solved for us and there was no satisfying conclusion that resulted from it. Basically, we want a game that meets up to those exact same standards, but no matter what, there's going to be something you don't like about the newer games when compared to Ever17.
In essence, by using Ever17 as a standard for all future Infinity games and Nakazawa/Uchikoshi works, we want something to be just as good as what we consider the best in the series, but it's exactly because it's such a high standard that it doesn't happen.
Therefore, what I'm saying by this game not being a "second Ever17" is that I don't expect it to have the exact same amount of satisfaction that we get from it, but if it still has good twists, then that's fine. Hell, if it's even better than Ever17, then we would consider "Route Double" to be our new standard, right? It's something like that.
I apologize if I sound rude/pretentious or if you don't agree with me. I am merely stating my opinion, that's all, and I don't wish to start a fight/argument.

lol I'm not starting a fight; I just wanted to know what you meant. I figured that anything remotely like Ever17 would have to fall short of it because of predictability, and thus the game would have to be completely different (too different to call the second E17) to reach the wow factor E17 gave us. It'd be like calling Inception the second Shutter Island.
But I get what you mean now, and agree that it'll most likely not happen because our expectations aren't blank slates anymore. The writers won't blindside us a second time unless they use pseudonyms to throw us off.

LABO - a giant research facility with a nuclear reactor
September 16, 2030 - 6:19:30 AM - the "incident" occurs
The security system malfunctions, locking down every section of the basement, trapping 3 rescuers and 6 people waiting to be rescued inside.
The incident occurred because the nuclear reactor caused a meltdown, filling LABO with the ashes of its dead.
There are still 9 hours before the system recovers.
The rescuers have only enough drugs to prevent radiation exposure for 6 people, but what about the other 3 ... ?
And strange unexplainable phenomena keep happening...
There are 6 mysteries surrounding this incident:
1. During the incident, the captain of the rescue team lost his memory. What happened ?
2. Why were these normal high school students locked up in a place like this ?
3. A murdered body was found in the research facility they've been locked down in. Why ?
4. Why did this incident happen ? Why can't they get out ?
5. Why is one that cannot exist --- "that guy" --- here ?
The mystery gets deeper and deeper.
Gradually, the constant conflicts get more and more on these people's nerves...
Which one of them can make it out of this hell alive ?
The key to surviving is hidden 6 days ago. In the sealed memories of the young man ----

Thanks for translating that. I was going to, but it saved some effort.
Hmm...those mysteries are very interesting. This gets me intrigued, especially the points they present.

Interesting, the setting kind of reminds me of Ever17.
I wonder if its Nakazawa's answer to 999? Maybe they (Kotaro Uchikoshi and Takumi Nakazawa) argued after Remember11 and decided to see who does a better Ever17 spiritual successor ;p

Yeah, but it wouldn't be Nakazawa without them, would it? Granted, the OPs of Never7 and I/O didn't have any either, but those were kind of different (and the PSP version of Never7 had technical terms in them.)
Anyway, I love the trailer music. I wonder who's going to do the music this time around? Definitely not Takeshi Abo (who I predict will be doing Code18.), but I don't think ONOKEN is doing it this time either. Apparently, Myself ; Yourself's music was done by 5zizz (who did the music for the PS2 versions of Higurashi), so maybe it'll be him?

Masking Tape Dress
Added Jan 14, 2012
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
I made this dress for the Scholastic Art and Writing competition. It's made completely out of masking tape and let me just tell you that it was a bit of a sticky situation (haha pardon the pun, but I just couldn't help myself). I was inspired by architecture and an empty butterfly chrysalis.
I first constructed the underneath by using a stiff interfacing. Next I had to add a couple of layers of masking tape on top of that in order to get the length where I wanted it. Then I started adding, one by one, layers of masking tape starting from the bottom. I used over 18 rolls of masking tape and over 80 hours went into making the dress. The dress is completely wearable. It has a zipper sewn in the back for getting in and out of.
I might have nightmares about wads of tape attacking me in my sleep, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Haha. I just dropped it off for judging and I find out Sunday if it got in. Oh I'm so nervous! Wish me luck and I hope you like it :)

Via Luca Aceto, news of a new effort to create an open access electronic proceedings. The idea is that you organize your conference/workshop, and apply for inclusion of your proceedings in the EPTCS: you handle the reviewing, they take the papers and manage the long term archiving (via the arxiv).
I'm imagining this will only be useful for small conferences/workshops, but it's a good way of making sure you don't have a dead-link problem a few years later when the person who hosted the website for the conference leaves their institution and forgets to hand over maintainence to someone else. Also, the arxiv imprimatur will make sure the papers will get more visibility than otherwise.

DETROIT -- When the 2013 Dodge Dart rolled out at the Detroit auto show for its worldwide debut Monday, the compact sedan seemed to score a bull's-eye with the hundreds of media people gathered around it.
Seated in the front row, Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler/Fiat, looked as proud as a shaggily-bearded new grandfather.
The Dart is the first-born product of Chrysler Group's 2009 union with Fiat; and as the first of what will be at least eight future cars, SUVs and crossovers that will share its platform, it represents a dramatic gamble by Detroit's smallest automaker.
If consumers accept the Dart and the similar compact and mid-sized vehicles to follow, Chrysler Group will have succeeded in slashing its development and production costs in the largest segments of the North American market. But if consumers don't warm to the Dart, it could hang doubts over the follow-up models -- all due by 2015 -- before they even see a factory floor.
Chrysler is betting the house that the Dart will be a hit, Marchionne says. But like all bets, it comes with substantial risk.
"There's a danger that if this thing flops, that it's going to taint everything I do from here on in, and it's got a devastating impact on the development of Alfa. It would really throw us back," the Chrysler CEO said. "We would really have to go back and rethink the architecture and redo it if it flopped."
The CUSW platform on which the Dart is built is a derivative of the one that underlies the Alfa Romeo Giulietta -- a critical success in the Alfa product stable.
The Giulietta's success in Europe helped Chrysler Group officials justify the long-term platform-sharing strategy they laid out in 2009 to return the automaker to profitability. And Ralph Gilles, head of design for Chrysler Group, said the platform had "good bones" on which to build the Dart and future models.
"We understand how the architecture functions. It shouldn't flop," Marchionne said.

Fall Tour !!!!
edited June 2012 in Animal Tracks
Praying that they come to Houston on the second leg. [-O<
we should organize who would be going to what. so stinkin excited.
LONDON BOOM! ive never seen the before....so happy!!!!
OMG - Manchester UK! my heart is actually racing!
Good to hear that some of you will have good opertunities to go see the collective this Fall. Looks like I can't attend any of those dates/places so hopefully they will hit the midwest with a second leg or something. Plus, why are they playing MPP again? I think it's cool, but I also think it's wierd that after not playing there for the MPP tour, they are going to be there twice in about 14-15 months.
Another ATL show, I can't wait!
MPP is my only chance of seeing them because I doubt they'll ever come to Maine and even then I know I'm not making it down to MD in October and there's definitely no one down there who will see them with me. fdkajkld;as
Tickets booked *does the happy dance*
me to !!
Daaaaaaaamn yoooooooou universe!!
Noooooooooooo Toronto!!!!!!
What Frumpkin said
They should play one in chicago or something in the midwest
They aren't even playing in Boston! I think they hate New England!
ahh there is hope. from their facebook: "Now we know you aren't all being paid a visit on this first run, but don't worry, it's only the beginning. See you in a bit, AC"
Hey Animal Element i'm going to the London Roundhouse there show as well with my whole band Just yell out TreeRoots! Man I'm Psyched about this show, I caught them last year in Eastbourne and now I'll get to feel the thrill again... I wonder what they'll do different.
Going to Hollywood bowl. Everyone come along it will be the best ever.
how about i wear a treeroots tshirt ay? lol
Are they still playing mpp songs live? I really want to hear summertime clothes live again
what songs do you want them to play? ill say summertime clothes, fireworks/essplode and whatever they think they wanna do after that lol water curses? havent seen them do that live, safer would be cool in the middle
I'm sure they'll be playing mostly CHz stuff. I doubt they'd do water curses, but that doesnt really seem like a good live song. idk, tbh Would you take someone who's never heard of them to one of their concerts?
Yeah I would. As long as they aren't little dickheads, I'm gonna go with my gf and she has heard them but doesn't really get them totally, she can still enjoy a night out tho !
Yeah I'll be there for Atlanta again. This year is going to be an amazing concert year. Already saw Jeff Mangum, of Montreal and the Flaming Lips and I've got a ton more lined up. Super psyched to see them playing the Tabernacle, aside from Variety Playhouse, probably my favorite venue in Atlanta. It's too damn hot to play outdoor shows.
Favourite bands! Y u all be American??
I'm sure their setlists will be somewhat but not entirely similar to the 2011 shows. they played mostly centipede hz songs for sure. i wouldn't expect too many old songs, expect to hear most of your favorite C Hz songs though! I did hear that they were thinking about re-working the glorious La Rapet for this year's shows. I would love to hear Water Curses live oh god.
La Rapet or Alvin Row live would make my year, even more so than CHz being more awesome than I'm imagining it will be. If only they knew how much their fanbase would appreciate them reworking songs off Spirit for live concerts (they probably know and they don't really care too much about our wants, not to say that this is a bad thing)
I didn't really dig the reworked chocolate girl from 2008 since they left out the best part ("open up my brain again") Its like doing Bat you'll fly and leaving out the elusive in houston part!
oh yeah and Mouth Wooed Her might get reworked as wheel.
We need more Sung Tongs Songs reworked, only Rabbit, Leafhouse, and Tigers have been done (Or at least those are the only songs I have heard). Mouth Wooed her or Kids On Holiday would melt my brain.
the kids on holly golly day 2005 was a beast! got super intense! and baby day as the encore! with geo on jimmies!
according to ticketmaster, opener for this tour is Micachu and the Shapes
Sweet mother of Mary I have to go... somehow. I wish Micachu would come to Australia with them in 2013... probably not...
I decided not to go to the Hollywood Bowl show after debating it for a few months. The renowned Chinese translator and scholar, Arthur Waley, would not, at any cost, go visit and travel in China; this was because he didn't want whatever the reality of the place was to supercede the fantastic visions he'd built up. My reasoning is along these lines.
Though I might regret it in twenty years.
imagine if we applied that to all! anything one can do in life won't live up to what we want / it COULD be! so you just stay in bed or end up making yourself dead! why go to the beach when you could just pop a pill! why go out? we'll just end up back here any ways!
Yeah just pop a pill Some soma In this Brave New World
"A gramme is better than a damn" Wish I had a gram...
Dear sirs and/or mesdames, Reductio ad absurdam!! (Really though, you're absolutely right, and I was just trying to come up with some sort of analogy to justify to myself why I'm not going--I admit it might've been a faulty analogy, too).
i saw ac 05 / 06 / 07 (twice! which makes up for no 08!) / 09 deeks in 2010 / avey tail end of 2011 (which will make up for if they don't come til 2013!) it all evens out! just wish i could go back in time go to that august 03 kitty kat klub show! gah! i wouldn't have appreciated it at the time though i would have been expecting INDIAN ... would have got 2 men on acoustic guitars not playing slippy and me getting angry as hell wondering where the tronks were!
i wonder why pander always avoided this place! prolly didn't want to pander to no crowd! THE JURK!
Dec. 21st 2012: GEO! SOLO! LIVE! @ the Emporium!
Cant wait for September 30!, It's gonna be another great night of AnCo awesomeness!

Lesson: Measuring the Motion of a Coronal Mass Ejection
Modified from a lesson prepared by the SOHO Education and Outreach team
At left is an image taken from one of the coronagraphs on LASCO.
To the right of the disk we can see a CME erupting from the Sun.
The white circle shows the size and location of the Sun.
The black disk is the occulting disk blocking out the disk of the Sun
and the inner corona. The tick marks along the bottom of the
image mark off units of the Sun's diameter.
To change these numbers to real distances from the Sun we have to know the scale of the Sun on the image. This is like looking at a map of your town where, quite often, the scale will be 1 inch to 1 mile or 2cm to 1 km.
In Column #4 of Table 1 you should have entered the length, in tick marks, for each of the lines you drew from sun-center to your selected feature. This provides the scale from the picture of the CME to the real thing.
Each tick mark corresponds to a distance equal to the diameter of the Sun, which is 1.4 million km.
You now have a complete set of times and real distances.
Column #2 of Table 1 gives the times in hours and minutes that the images were taken. In Column #2 of Table 2 we show the difference in time between two successive images (in hours).
You now have a list of speeds for the CME at different times during its escape from the Sun.
