For dealers, a lease deal usually means a bum deal on the back end.
The sale of a high-profit product such as an extended-service contract is typically off the table.
But with many import and luxury brands offering leases, F&I managers need to find a way to make a lease as profitable as a financed car sale can be.
One F&I trainer, who asked to not be identified, says he teaches dealership clients to quiz lease customers on how likely they are -- on a scale from one (unlikely) to 10 (almost certain) -- to buy the vehicle when the lease is up. Based on the customer's response, the dealership presents him or her with a tailored lease menu, the trainer says.
For example, the trainer says, if a lease customer is at a 9 or 10 in terms of buying the vehicle at lease end, the F&I manager presents a menu encouraging the purchase of an extended-service contract by explaining to the customer that if he buys the car, his service coverage will already be in place when the manufacturer's warranty expires.
The F&I manager further explains to the customer that if he decides not to buy the leased vehicle when the lease is up, he would get his money back on the unused portion of the extended-service contract minus a $50 cancellation fee. That makes it an appealing offer, the trainer says. The service contract runs concurrently with the manufacturer's warranty. So, for example, if the customer had a 6-year/100,000-mile extended-service contract and put 50,000 miles on the vehicle and had it for 3 years, he would get back 50 percent of the purchase price of the contract minus $50.
"He gets back 50 percent of his cost minus the $50 to put down on another lease or keep it for cash," the trainer says.
He teaches dealership clients to "lay out the choices for customers."
"What it does," he says, "is break down the fear barrier and it changes it to a trust situation."
And it allows lease customers the chance to consider more F&I products than just the popular ones, such as ding protection, he says.
A half dozen or so of this trainer's dealership clients have used his lease menu for a year and a half. They report higher sales of extended-service contracts among lease customers, he says, adding: "There are two things that can crap out an F&I officer: a cash deal and a lease deal. But our job is still to show them every product, every time."

Paradox of the arctic fox.
Out on the flower-spangled tundra, the fox hesitated; and in the indecision of that raised forepaw, researcher Alice Stickney felt that she could read the small predator's thought: Two eggs, one mouth; there must be a way!
It was an arctic fox - a male Alopex lagopus. By November, he would skitter across the polar ice like a ball of pure white fluff. But now, in his brown-blotched summer coat, he looked rangy - even haggard. And with those circles of dark fur under his eyes, he appeared to Stickney more the villain in character with what he was doing: stealing eggs from wild sea goose nests on Alaska's Yukon River Delta. "His problem," the biologist recalls, "was that he had stolen one black brant egg and was trotting off to cache it somewhere, when he passed a second egg. He paused, moved on, then stopped and went back. You could see him teetering on the horns of dilemma. Here was an animal genetically programmed not to pass up an egg." The fox finally made its call with what seemed to Stickney - a biologist for ABR, Inc., of Fairbanks, which has conducted fox behavioral studies for oil companies - to be perfectly foxy logic. He simply dropped the cream-colored egg he carried, picked up the second and sallied resolutely on across the wet Arctic green.
In Native lore, the white fox is neither clever nor cunning. It is a harmless sprite of the long northern night, a cheery escort with a saucy bark that announces the arrivals of polar bears. And with lightsome feet, the fox escorts the souls of children to the swirling, heavenward dance of the aurora borealis. But poignancies aside, the creature's appetite for eggs and birds is a powerful force in Far North ecosystems. And once human beings get into the act, whether by fox farming on islands or by overhunting waterfowl, the fragility of those ecosystems becomes all too clear.
Says Vernon Byrd, supervisory wildlife biologist for the Alaska National Maritime Wildlife Refuge, "We know that foxes take thousands of eggs and birds from refuge islands each year. And it's millions we're talking about over the years." Byrd and coworkers have spent two decades working - with considerable success - to restore bird colonies wiped out by fox populations established for fur farming between 1750 and 1950 on more than 450 islands. All concerned agree that removing introduced foxes from the islands is a biologically sound correction of human mismanagement.
On the mainland, however, foxes are indigenous, their relationship to bird colonies more complex and human intercession far less easy to justify - much less pull off. In the late 1970s and the 1980s, after decades of slow declines, four nesting goose species on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta reached unprecedented lows. The reason was largely overhunting by people, which took place at both ends of the birds' migratory paths. And the hunting, says Tom Rothe, waterfowl coordinator for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, "pushed the populations down to the level where other factors kicked in."
One of those factors was the arctic fox, which was going through a population boom. "In no way do we want to suggest arctic foxes caused the decline in geese," Rothe says. "But it's fair to say they suppressed the recovery." The hunting is now limited by more restrictive regulations and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Goose Management Plan formulated with rural hunters in Alaska, and the goose populations have largely recovered. Says Rothe, "Eventually, the geese outnumbered the ability of foxes to hold them back. The bottom line is that normally arctic foxes don't control bird populations. Only if the foxes are on an island or if goose populations get very low do foxes have an impact."
But it appears that people can alter the fox-bird equilibrium in other unintended ways too. Take the growing number of landfills and dumpsters in some Far North areas. "Because of the steady food supply from the accessible garbage, more foxes survive the winter and have more pups, and come summer they eat more birds," says Robert Burgess, senior research biologist and coworker with Stickney at ABR.
Foxes have been known to sit up begging for food when oil field workers leave their pickup trucks. One snow goose colony that sprang up on Howe Island near Prudhoe Bay in the early 1970s now numbers about 500 pairs, but the birds and their young have suffered the consequences of living near an Arctic human enclave. Garbage draws the wide-ranging foxes, which then scout for more food, crossing the ice to the island in spring for newly laid eggs, ambushing families moving to mainland rearing areas and taking flightless adults during the molt.
Arctic foxes are dimorphic, in that the same species can occur with winter coats of either white or blue. Most are white, with various censuses estimating the blue fox phase at 2 to 7 percent of the total. Populations of the white variety are concentrated on the coastal plains of circumpolar regions. The blue fox phase exists mainly near bird colonies, probably because the dusky color is a better camouflage among the cliffs and rocks.
More typically, an arctic fox is tundra brown in summer, ice white in winter, and its waking life is a restless foxtrot punctuated by quick pounces. White foxes will steal eggs from tundra-nesting waterfowl and shorebirds, but for the most part, they depend on lemmings, voles and scavenged carcasses of sea mammals.
If the Arctic's four-year lemming cycle is low, only one or two pups might survive the average whelping of seven. But if the cycle is high, as many as 15 pups are born, and most will survive. Their 8-pound parents spend the summer with legs a-blur, snatching rodents they then deliver to the pups or to caches. In winter, hungry foxes may gather at the heels of wolves or polar bears, traveling many hundreds of miles to scavenge the leavings of the larger predators' kills. Biologist Byrd reports seeing as many as 50 foxes at a walrus carcass. Canadian researcher Fred Bruemmer reports arctic foxes "eating tunnels into the corpse of a 60-foot whale, until the colossal carcass resembled a Swiss cheese."
Ed West, a biology professor at the University of Alaska in Anchorage, can chuckle now at the memory of himself chasing arctic foxes across the tundra of an Aleutian island a few years back. "I had spent weeks setting up this field research project," he says. "I had packed in and set up a Weatherport base, installed an oil stove and tables, stocked it neatly with food, and then gone back to the mainland to get my wife." He came back to find the foxes had gotten to it all. "Food, clothing, candles - it didn't matter. They had everything in the place ripped open and ripped apart and had spread a healthy layer of defecation over the whole mess. When we walked in, I remember there was this one little fox in particular sitting in the mess on my bed, and he just cocked his head and said with a look as plain as English: 'Oh. And just what are you?'"
The bird-predating blue phase foxes, however, don't have to be so opportunistic. Each spring, seabirds come, lay eggs, rear their young and leave. Colonies of gulls, cormorants, murres, auklets, guillemots and puffins in all circumpolar regions draw resident blue foxes that systematically collect eggs, fledglings and adults.
Both types of arctic fox cache food for retrieval during the bitter winter. The white tundra foxes are known as "scatter cachers," often burying their summer surplus where they find it. Their blue-phase kin, on the other hand, store their harvests in centrally located and often impressively stocked "larder" caches.
Prior to their introduction by fur farmers - by Russians as early as 1750, and by Americans as late as the middle of this century - no foxes existed on the Aleutian Islands, nor on most of the other Alaskan islands to which they were introduced. The foxes were transplanted to the islands simply because the vast avian colonies were a natural smorgasbord. Then barrels of "fox fodder" - voles and ground squirrels that later caused severe erosion problems - were introduced to supplement the bird diet.
The results, says Edgar Bailey, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologist who has spent decades monitoring fox and bird activity, were "devastating." By the mid-1920s, with fox prices soaring to up to $2,800 a pelt and harvests from the Alaskan farms totaling tens of thousands of pelts per year, foxes were killing 40,000 or more seabirds per island per year. Entire colonies of burrow-nesting seabirds like storm-petrels, Cassin's auklets and tufted puffins were wiped out. Mobs of gulls and auklets, murrelets, storm-petrels, terns, puffins, loons, black oystercatchers and others disappeared. Sky-clouding flocks of common eiders faded to wisps.
In the 1970s, USFWS biologists began the fox-eradication program. "It's going to take awhile," says Byrd. "But with the exceptions of some populations that were completely wiped out, there's no reason to think that the rookeries won't rebuild to their old levels." Though the Aleutian Canada goose, for example, is now federally listed as threatened, its recovery is nearly assured.
On the Yukon Delta, however, if waterfowl populations were to drop precipitously again, solutions would not be so easy. "It's easy to know what to do with artificially introduced foxes on islands," says researcher Stickney. "It's another matter entirely to deal with a species in an established ecosystem." Especially ecosystems as delicate as those of the Far North's wetlands and a species as far-ranging as the arctic fox. As long as people insist on being in the tundra, they're going to have neighbors that are a bit cheeky and a bit sneaky - but also are fluffy, yappy celebrations of life in what can be such brutal country.

When predation by arctic foxes slowed the recovery of overhunted geese populations on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in the 1980s, that relationship helped illustrate the fragile balance of the ecosystem, as well as the vital importance of the state's 175 million acres of wetlands to both the birds and the foxes. One of NWF's primary issues in Alaska is protection of wetland habitats.

Bands Rushing To Ditch Labels And Embrace Free; Are The Floodgates Opening?
from the tipping-point dept
There are two key things to note in all of this. First, all these bands feel the need to ditch big record labels to do this (and, no, that doesn't mean that small bands without recording contracts can't succeed this way too). This is a sad state of affairs for the record labels -- because there still should be a place for them in helping to promote and market a band, even if they're giving away the music for free. It's just that they're not venture capitalists any more and bands don't need help in distributing content -- two businesses the record labels insist they're in. What's really sad here is how clueless the record labels remain to this reality. In a Reuters article about the Radiohead move, a record industry insider mistakenly claims that this trend is going to hurt the music business because bands will rush out singles instead of albums. Apparently that insider only read the first half of the details of what Radiohead is doing (as well as what others are doing). They're doing exactly the opposite. They've put together a whole "discbox" with lots of extras to make it more compelling to buy. Will.i.am specifically made his latest album a "cohesive story" to encourage people to buy the whole album. Reznor purposely tried to make his CD as cool as possible (it changes colors when you play it in a CD player) to encourage people to buy it -- even as he tells people at concerts to download his songs.
That brings up the second key point. For all the whining about "free" music, the complainers keep missing the fact that free is only a part of the business model. This seems to be the thing that people get most confused about when we discuss business models around free music. They get stuck on free and assume that if something's free, there's no way to make money. But, all of these bands are showing exactly the opposite is true. The Times Online has a story incorrectly headlined "The day the music industry died" discussing these exact changes, but as you read the details, the music industry is doing just fine -- it's just the folks in the recording industry who are in trouble. Musicians are raking in record revenue from concerts -- and the artists are realizing that the free music only helps generate more interest in those concerts. Listen to Alan McGee from Oasis and the Charlatans, saying that giving away the music for free was a can't miss proposition: "We increase our fan base, we sell more merchandise, more fans talk about the band and we get more advertising and more films (soundtracks). More people will get into the the Charlatans and will probably pay the money to see the show. I presume it will double the gig traffic, maybe even treble it."
In other words, more bands are recognizing exactly what a bunch of folks knew was inevitable at least a decade ago. Unshackle the music, give it away free, and use it to make a lot of other stuff a lot more valuable, and there's plenty of money to be made. The only sad part in all of this is that the record labels have been not just blind to the idea -- they've actively tried to discredit anyone who pointed it out to them.

Mercedes allow pair to keep racing
Mercedes have decided to allow feuding team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to continue to race this season following clear-the-air talks on Friday.
The Brackley-based marque conceded to taking "suitable disciplinary measures" against Rosberg after he "acknowledged his responsibility" for the collision with Hamilton in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
Mercedes, however, have refused to expand on the exact nature of the sanctions imposed on Rosberg, be it financial or whether he will be forced to yield at some point in a forthcoming race.
Nico Rosberg, right, has apologised for his collision with Lewis Hamilton at the Belgian Grand Prix
For now, at least, a line appears to have been drawn in the sand and the two drivers can continue to go head to head in their battle for this year's Formula One title, providing they keep it clean.
Hamilton, who revealed after a heated post-race meeting the German had declared to driving into the Briton "on purpose...to prove a point", believes the team are owed an honest fight between them.
That was far from the case at Spa when Rosberg wrecked Hamilton's race by causing a puncture to the rear-left tyre of his team-mate's car by clipping it with his front wing.
Hamilton acknowledged other incidents that have taken place this season perhaps led to the campaign coming to a head in Spa.
"Nico and I accept we have both made mistakes and I feel it would be wrong to point fingers and say which one is worse than the other," said Hamilton, via his official website.
"What's important is how we rise as a team from these situations. We win and we lose together and, as a team, we will emerge stronger.
"There is a deep foundation that still exists for me and Nico to work from, in spite of our difficult times and differences.
"We have the greatest team, the strongest group of individuals who have worked their hands to the bone to give us the best car you see us racing today.
"It's important we never forget that and give them the results they deserve."
Upon hearing what Hamilton had said regarding the meeting on Sunday, Rosberg took to his video blog to say his version of events were "very different".
But following a further meeting at the team's base in Brackley involving the two drivers, motorsport boss Toto Wolff and executive technical director Paddy Lowe, Rosberg has been forced to come clean.
Via his own statement, Rosberg has now apologised for the first time as he said: "In the days since the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what happened during the race and discussing it with the team.
"I have already expressed my regret about the incident but, after meeting with Toto, Paddy and Lewis today, I wish to go a step further and describe it as an error of judgement on my part.
"The number one rule for us as team mates is that we must not collide but that is exactly what happened.
"For that error of judgement, I apologise to Lewis and the team.
"I also want to say sorry to the fans who were deprived of our battle for the lead in Belgium.
"Lewis and I have been given clear instructions about how we race each other.
"As drivers, we have a clear responsibility to the team, the fans of the sport, our partners and Mercedes-Benz to deliver clean racing. We take that responsibility very seriously.
"I look forward to concluding the season with hard, fair competition on and off track right up to the final lap of the season in Abu Dhabi."
Crucially for F1 fans, Mercedes have decided not to enforce team orders on their drivers at any stage over the final seven races.
A statement read: "Mercedes-Benz remains committed to hard, fair racing because this is the right way to win world championships. It is good for the team, for the fans and for Formula One.
"Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team's number one rule: there must be no contact between the team's cars on track.
"It has been made clear that another such incident will not be tolerated. But Nico and Lewis are our drivers and we believe in them.
"They remain free to race for the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship."
As far as Hamilton is concerned, despite falling 29 points adrift of Rosberg, he is convinced he can still win his second title.
"It's going to be a tough road from here, but championships have been won from much further back than I am now," said Hamilton.
"And I promise you I will be giving everything and more to win this for my team, for my family and for my fans."

Anthony Barksdale, the city's former acting police commissioner, is leaving his post as Horseshoe Baltimore's security director four months after the casino opened.
The casino, which made no announcement, confirmed in a written statement that Barksdale is departing "to pursue other career opportunities" and is being replaced by John Zappas, the assistant security director.
Before arriving at Horseshoe in August, Zappas oversaw security at Showboat Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Showboat was among three Atlantic City casinos to close in September as they struggled with competition in neighboring states.

IOC Cuts Wrestling from Olympic Games; Was it the Right Call?
LAUSANNE - Tuesday morning, the International Olympic Committee dropped wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games. Wrestling was first part of the modern Olympics in 1896 and part of the ancient games in Olympia.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters, "This is not the end of the process, this is purely a recommendation. It is the session which is sovereign. It was a decision to look at the core sports, what works best for the Olympic games. This was the best programme for the 2020 Olympics. This is not about what's wrong with wrestling, but what is good for the games."
Adams went on to say, ""This is a process of renewing and renovating the program for the Olympics. "In the view of the executive board, this was the best program for the Olympic Games in 2020. It's not a case of what's wrong with wrestling, it is what's right with the 25 core sports."
He added, "Today's decision is not final. The session is sovereign, and the session will make the final decision."
In an article published on Reuters the pentathlon, taekwondo, field hockey, and wrestling were all considered for elimination, but wrestling wasn't strongly represented in the IOC's decision-making body.
Cutting wrestling came as a shock after in the 2012 Olympic games, wrestling had 344 athletes from 71 countries competing in greco-roman and freestyle wrestling. 344 athletes competed in 11 medal events in freestyle, and seven in Greco-Roman in London last year.
The pentathlon, which was considering to be cut had athletes from only 26 countries. Wrestling had 45 more countries compete in its sport.
For the 2020 Olympic games, the IOC has elected 25 of 26 core sports, that includes rugby and golf, which will make their first Olympic appearance in 2016.
Wrestling is the third sport cut since baseball and softball were cut in 2005.
In May, the IOC executive board will meet to determine whether wrestling, baseball, softball, martial arts karate and wushu, rollersports, wakeboarding, squash and sports climbing will be voted on in September.
Cutting wrestling is a shock, considering it is one of the oldest sports in Olympic history. Wrestling still has active participation from over 71 countries in the world, and it will be missed. Let's hope the IOC adds this historic sport back into the Olympic games.

What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's most popular high-stakes English language proficiency test for study, work and migration with more than 3 million tests were taken around the world in the past year.
IELTS results are recognised by 10,000 organisations, including educational institutions, employers, professional associations and governments, in Over 140 countries around the world.
IELTS test content is developed by an international team of experts and undergoes extensive research to ensure the test remains fair and unbiased for any candidate regardless of nationality, background, gender, lifestyle or location.
You can take IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training, depending on the organisation you are applying to and your plans for the future.
IELTS test format
IELTS is a test of all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. You will take the Listening, Reading and Writing tests all on the same day one after the other, with no breaks in between. Depending on your test centre, your Speaking test may be on the same day as the other three tests, or up to seven days before or after that. The total test time is under three hours.
Read more about the IELTS test format.
Why is the IELTS format fairer for you?
You deserve a fair chance to do your best. That's why, unlike other tests, IELTS gives you a quiet room for an individual Speaking test with no distractions or interruptions.
IELTS also recognises that people have different approaches to answering questions. For example, with IELTS you can answer questions within the Reading test or within the Writing test in the order that suits you. You can also make changes to your Reading answers during the hour of the Reading test and adjust your Writing responses during the hour of the Writing test.

Lazio midfielder Stefano Mauri has set his sights on reaching the Coppa Italia final at the expense of Juventus ahead of Tuesday's semi-final encounter.
The Stadio Olimpico side held the Bianconeri to a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week, and Mauri is determined to seal the deal in the return fixture.
"The Juve game is worth a great deal. It's important to get to the Coppa Italia final. We've overcome every hurdle with ease so far, aside from the Siena game," the 33-year-old said to reporters.
"We've won the trophy in the past and it's something we want to do again. It would represent a special feeling, for us and for the entire city."
Mauri then went on to stress that the congested calendar does not make it easy for Lazio, but feels they're up for the task.
"It's not easy playing every three days, because you're never able to work to your full capacity. Having said that, we've had a good opportunity to recharge our batteries over the holidays."
Tuesday's second leg is scheduled to kick off at 20:45CET.

Conroe man and woman snared in drug dragnet
A woman was arrested on drug charges and a man was arrested for having a gun during a traffic stop Monday in Conroe.
A narcotics investigation led deputies to stop the pair's car in the area of FM 2854 and Loop 336, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said investigators determined the car was possibly being used to carry drugs. It was then discovered the driver, 35-year-old David William Willis, Jr., had a gun and was a convicted felon. Deputies said they also found that the passenger, 30-year-old Amy Lynn Jones, had more than 60 grams of methamphetamine.
Willis is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm while Jones is charged with being in possession of a controlled substance between four and 200 grams. Both were booked into the Montgomery County jail.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sammy11 from Pretty dress, Tricky with curves This dress looked nice online but wasn't very comfortable. I thought the polyster/spandex(?) underside was not breathable. It also bunched very easily with movement. I felt like I was constantly pulling it down when I wore it to an event. By no means do I consider myself overweight (nor does the BMI consider me to be)-however, I do have curves and they played a role in making this dress a bit awkward. Constantly fidgeting to move the dress back down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MsLolaGrace from Too Short for Daytime This dress is adorable. I think the dress runs small. I went up a size as I sometimes do w/ short dresses to give a lil extra length. It fit me like my normal size would but it was still too short for me. I wanted this dress for day time use. At 32, I prefer daytime dresses to hit mid thigh/ above the knee, this is just below my butt. Other than that, it fit great, material felt nice, its thick, has some stretch. I love the eyelet pattern. Eyelet sections are slightly sheer so def recommend nude panties but the solid top was fine w/o a bra. This dress is an attention grabber, if only it were longer. Disappointed that I'll be sending this back.

APHIS regulates the introduction (importation, interstate movement, or environmental release) of certain genetically engineered (GE) organisms. All regulated introductions of GE organisms must be authorized by APHIS under either its permitting or notification procedures. When a developer has collected enough evidence that a GE organism poses no more of a plant pest risk than an equivalent non-GE organism, the developer may petition APHIS for a determination of non-regulated status. If the petition is approved by APHIS, the GE organism may then be introduced into the United States without any further APHIS regulatory oversight. Guidance for these processes can be found below.

Volume 17, Number 45 | April 1 7, 2005
A center for Chinatown seniors is slated for the chic Police Building but has been on hold for over a decade.
Downtown Express photo by Josh Argyle
By Ronda Kaysen
Project Open Door, a Chinatown senior center, is still waiting to move into its new home in a luxury condo on Centre St. four years after the city secured the space for it.
Our clients, most of them are very old, said Po-Ling Ng, Project Open Doors director. They want to move to the new site, but since 1993, when we first got this space, someone keeps saying, Oh, Im sorry [when the process is further delayed] and now its 2005. We are suffering over here, Ng said, in a telephone interview from the centers current Chrystie St. location. We dont have enough space.
The new space would occupy the bottom two floors of the celebrity-studded condominium at 240 Centre St. known as the Police Building, once home to supermodels Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, along with tennis star Steffi Graf and actress Winona Ryder.
Initially the condo owners, who ceded the space to the city in the early 1990s as part of a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, were reluctant to hand over 17,000 sq. ft. of their building to the senior center, citing concerns about the effects that 500 daily visitors to the center would have on their building. Their main concerns included odors from the meals served at the center, hours of operation, trash, visitors and other quality of life concerns.
In February 2001, the city announced that after years of negotiations with the condo owners, a settlement had been reached and Project Open Door would soon be able to relocate to a home four times the size of its current, cramped quarters.
Parts of the agreement included that there would be no cooking on the premises of the senior center and that the seniors would use a separate entrance from the one used by residents of the tony building.
Since the settlement, everything has gone relatively smoothly, said Arthur Emil, president of both the commercial and residential condo and co-op boards for the building. Nobody has been resistant of the senior center, he added.
Despite the agreement and the placated Police Building residents, Project Open Door, which offers meals, activities and support to Chinatowns ballooning elderly community, has yet to relocate.
Yet, city officials insist the delays will soon come to an end and Project Open Door will be able to move to its new home within the year.
It had been stalled previously, but it is now in the final phases and construction has resumed, said City Councilmember Alan Gerson of the center in his district. Gerson blames the delays on a lack of cooperation from the management of the building and technical issues involving the work that had to be done.
Gerson expects the work to be completed before the summer.
The citys Department of Aging, which is responsible for the development of the center, is less certain of the projects timeline. I just dont have a firm date, said Christopher Miller, a Department of Aging spokesperson. It all depends on the condo, on when the senior center is going to move and on Con Edison.
Con Edison began rewiring the building this week, which has been the cause of the most recent delays, Miller said. The electrical problems are the result of a leak in the building caused by electrical work that was done earlier in the construction, according to Emil.
Despite Project Open Doors eagerness to move, Emil insists the delays are the result of the troubles associated with such a dramatic renovation. The city would have moved in yesterday, he said. But everything has to be done properly.

2XL Supercross Review
2XL Supercross is a 3D dirt bike racing game with graphics that show off the iDevice's full capabilities. Not only are these graphics at least as good as something you'd play on the PSP, they also run smoother then a freshly "Zamboni'd" ice rink! This is a pricey game, but you're getting a pretty good value for the money.
You have eight different control styles to choose from, so you're sure to find something that fits your needs, from accelerometer controls to an on-screen joystick. We recommend the accelerometer controls, because the joystick can get a little buggy. But seriously, take our word for it–you're not going to have a problem with the controls.
Not only are your controls customizable, but so is your rider. You can change the color of your rider's bike and outfit, as long as you're not in the middle of a race. There are four different camera angles to choose from–and yes, that does include a behind the handle bars, first-person view.
Overall, there are 13 tracks which you have to unlock one at a time by winning races. These are all copied from real-life tracks, and they include real city names from around the USA. The tracks have obstacles like turns, jumps, and of course the other riders. You can also choose from three different gameplay modes: practice, time trial, and racing. The tracks look nice, the races are fun, and just the "training grounds" track (a circular track which includes many jumps) will keep you entertained for a long time.
2XL Supercross could be improved in a few areas. First, it would be nice to have some sort of multiplayer competition in this game to boost replay value. A better "splash" effect in the mud would help too; right now, you've only got a skid mark following your bike. And lastly, the game's simply going to be too expensive for a lot of people. We'd love to see it drop to $4.99 or so–it would probably make a lot more money for the developer that way.
Bottom line: if you're looking to spend a little bit more on a beautifully constructed racing game, 2XL Supercross is a great bet.

Profile of The Turk
A chess-playing automaton, the Turk was a sensation in Europe in the 1770s. The Turk was a wooden cabinet on wheels, atop which sat a chessboard and a life-sized wooden mannequin dressed in Turkish style. This mysterious contraption would play against, and often defeat, human opponents. In truth the Turk was a clever illusion: the cabinet concealed a human chess expert who moved the Turk's arm and played the games. The Turk was created by Wolfgang von Kempelen, a courtier of the empress Maria Therese. His creation was such a smashing success that it toured Europe, confounding observers and defeating dozens of players (including Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin). Ownership of the Turk eventually passed to Johann Maelzel, who took it to America where it toured anew. The Turk finally passed out of fashion and ended up in Philadelphia, where it was destroyed in a fire in 1854.
Author Edgar Allan Poe wrote a widely-read 1836 essay proposing that the Turk concealed a human player… The Turk inspired a 1927 French film, The Chess Player (Le Joueur d'échecs), with actor Charles Dullin as von Kempelen; it was remade in 1938 with Conrad Veidt as von Kempelen.

"People in love do goofy things.
They dance and sing in videos seen by millions. They fill classrooms with balloons, pay skywriters to put messages in the clouds, they even hire orchestras to accompany their professions of undying amour.
You've probably done some wild things in the name of love, too, but one boy wins the contest. In the new book "Noggin" by John Corey Whaley, Travis lost his head.
Five years ago, Travis Coates was dying.
He hadn't been sick for very long, but the cancer was aggressive. The usual treatments weren't working and while chemo and radiation weren't painful, saying goodbye to his parents, his girlfriend Cate, and his best friend Kyle hurt a lot. It really sucked — so when the Saranson Center for Life Preservation came up with a solution to his death, Travis was intrigued.
The field of cryonics was growing, he was told, and it was possible that, if he'd give up his life (and his head) just a little early, there was a chance of coming back from the dead later on, maybe in a few years.
So there he was, Travis-not-quite-Travis, five years later – though it felt like just three weeks. He was still 16, technically speaking, but he was also 21 years old, kind of. It was all made possible because his body wasn't originally his; it once belonged to a boy named Jeremy Pratt who died of brain cancer, and that took some serious getting used to. So did being bigger and physically fitter. It was weird.
But, body aside, Travis was the same guy he was before his death: same sense of humor, same taste in movies. Everything else, though, had changed: Kyle, who'd once confessed to Travis that he was gay, was dating girls and Cate was engaged to someone else.
Had Kyle lived with lies the whole time Travis was dead? And what happened to the "us" that Travis had with Cate? They loved each other. He promised her that he'd return and she said she'd wait! She. Could. Not. Marry. Someone. Else. How could they not go back to the way things were before?
Sometimes, it's hard to let go, whether it's a friendship, car, habit or love. And you won't be able to let go of "Noggin," either.
Just thinking about living with someone else's body attached to your head is a little icky, but Whaley makes it seem… normal. It helps that Travis, Whaley's main character, is not totally freaked out by what's happened to him; instead, he's more focused on getting his Cate back. The emotions Travis feels are exactly perfect — just what you'd expect if you'd woken up from the dead to find everything changed — and his friends are well-portrayed as the voices of reason in Travis' schemes.
Best of all, this novel will keep you guessing, which makes it excellent for readers 13 or older. If you're looking for something great to read – now or for the summer – "Noggin" will leave you head over heels.

Friends and fellow congregants trickled into the sanctuary of the Cavalry Albuquerque mega-church Friday afternoon to memorialize one of their former pastors, Greg Griego, his wife, Sarah, and three of his young children.
Four miles away, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego sat inside the Bernalillo County Juvenile Detention Center on charges of killing his family.
After Nehemiah's initial explanation to authorities began to unravel, he changed course.
He hadn't actually returned home from a friend's house Saturday to find his slain family, he eventually admitted in an interview detailed in court documents, but rather he had gone to his parents' closet, picked up a .22-caliber rifle and shot his mother in the head. He told the interviewer he "lost his sense of conscience" and also shot his younger brother, his two younger sisters and then his father.
He had planned to go to a Wal-Mart and shoot others, officials said, but instead drove to Calvary Albuquerque church.
It was there, at the church where his gang member-turned-pastor father once worked and where people gathered Friday to mourn the deaths, that Nehemiah told the church's security guard that his family was dead. A church member then called 911 and drove Nehemiah home, where he was taken into custody, according to a statement released by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's office.

Some choices may be unexpected, but it's that sense of adventure and surprise that make perusing photos of kitchens so fun in the first place. Here are 10 kitchen color combinations that caught our attention. Which one do you love best?
- Pale Blue and Gray: This is perfect when you want a light, airy-feeling kitchen that isn't all white.
- Hot Pink, Black, and Teal: Vibrant, fun, and with just the right touch of the 80s.
- Black, White, and Gold: Timeless, sophisticated, and oh-so-elegant.
- Olive Green and Light Blue: When you want a retro, throwback feel.
- Black, Brown, and White: A great way to do neutrals in the kitchen.
- Mahogany, Gray, and Rose: Moody and romantic.
- Charcoal, Tan, and Wood: Proving that, yes, brown and gray can go together!
- Blue-Gray and Tangerine: So cheery!
- Dark Teal and White: A bold, dramatic choice.
- Emerald and Brass: For an all-out luxe look.
What are your favorite color combinations for the kitchen?

A motorist found passed out behind the wheel of his wrecked van over the weekend had a blood-alcohol level that was more than three times the legal limit, Thibodaux Police said.
A motorist found passed out behind the wheel of his wrecked van over the weekend had a blood-alcohol level that was more than three times the legal limit, Thibodaux Police said.
Carl Everett, 29, 623 Poplar St., Thibodaux, was not hurt in the crash, which was discovered about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Thibodaux Police Chief Scott Silverii said.
Everett is charged with hit-and-run driving, first-offense DWI and careless operation and was booked at the Lafourche Parish jail, according to Thibodaux Police spokesman David Melancon.
He was released from the jail on a misdemeanor summons, which means he must appear in court in about 30 days to enter a plea on the charges, Melancon said.
Everett was involved in two separate single-car wrecks early Saturday, police said, hitting a car parked in a Pecan Street driveway and a nearby electrical junction box, police said. Junction boxes are metal cases, typically found at intersections, which house the wires that connect homes or buildings to the main power supply.
Everett crashed a second time about a block away, wrecking in a ditch on Thompson Place near Jackson Street, which is where officers found him slumped behind the wheel, Silverii said.
Everett was unconscious when responding officers arrived, and he failed a subsequent field-sobriety test, Silverii said.
Tests performed back at police headquarters determined that his blood-alcohol level was .229 percent, Melancon said. The legal limit for drivers in Louisiana is .08 percent.
It would take more than 10 drinks to produce that level of intoxication in a 180-pound man, according to bloodalcoholcalculator.org.
The owner of the parked car that Everett allegedly hit declined comment through Melancon.
Everett was arrested in 2012 on a simple battery charge in connection with a shooting that involved his younger brother, police reports say.
The two were accused of fighting with a third man late Feb. 17 or early Feb. 18 outside Hill's Lounge. Kalonnie Everett, then 24, allegedly shot the unnamed man twice, once in each leg.
Kalonnie was charged with aggravated second-degree battery; Carl was charged with simple battery.
Carl was due in court Monday on the simple-battery charge, according to a City Court clerk. It was not immediately clear if he made his appearance as scheduled, authorities and court officials said.

Conference on Originalism and the Good Constitution
This event occurred in the past
Date and Time
- Friday, April 11, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Conference Overview
The Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism is hosting a conference on Originalism and the Good Constitution (Harvard University Press, 2013), written by University of San Diego's Hugh and Hazel Darling Foundation Professor of Law Michael Rappaport and Northwestern's George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law John McGinnis.
About the Book
From the bookjacket: Originalism holds that the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted according to its meaning at the time it was enacted. In their innovative defense of originalism, John McGinnis and Michael Rappaport maintain that the text of the Constitution should be adhered to by the Supreme Court because it was enacted by supermajorities--both its original enactment under Article VII and subsequent Amendments under Article V. A text approved by supermajorities has special value in a democracy because it has unusually wide support and thus tends to maximize the welfare of the greatest number.
The authors recognize and respond to many possible objections. Does originalism perpetuate the dead hand of the past? How can following the original meaning be justified, given that African Americans and women were excluded from the enactment of the Constitution in 1787 and many of its subsequent Amendments? What is originalism's place in interpretation of the Constitution, when after two hundred years there is so much non-originalist precedent?
A fascinating counterfactual they pose is this: had the Supreme Court not interpreted the Constitution so freely, perhaps the nation would have resorted to the Article V amendment process more often and with greater effect. Their book will be an important contribution to the literature on originalism, which is now the most prominent theory of constitutional interpretation.

About the Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism
Originalism is the view that the Constitution should be interpreted in accordance with its original meaning—that is, the meaning it had at the time of its enactment.

The first page of chapter 3 in my math book contains a "chapter project" on movie ticket sales. There, among pictures of ET, Star Wars and Jurassic park is one containing the 3 hyena, Scar, Timon, Pumbaa, and above all, (young) Simba and Mufasa! Needless to say, I almost flipped when I saw it.

I was bored in my math class, and I was browseing the pages, when I came across a picture of TLK, along with other movies that made a bunch of money. They said that TLK made over 4 million bucks.

Dennis Rodman has plenty of faults, but being out of touch with his emotions surely isn't one of them.
In an appearance on "The Tonight Show" Monday to promote the upcoming season of "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice," the former Chicago Bull was overcome with grief over the death of Lakers owner Jerry Buss and, well, a few other things.
A few minutes into the interview, Rodman joked that many people are surprised to learn that he's still alive, despite his troubles with alcohol. "You look very much alive. You don't look dead at all," Jay Leno joked, awkwardly segueing to the subject of Buss' death.
OBIT: Jerry Buss dies at 80; Lakers owner brought 'Showtime' success to L.A.
"Not to bring you down, but this is kind of a sad day because Dr. Jerry Buss died," he said. "You were close with him, right?"
"He's like my dad. Damn man, it's like, wow," Rodman replied, growing visibly upset. After rejecting Leno's offer of a tissue, he struggled to find the words to express the loss. "I didn't want to bring this up, you know. He's just ... like a dad. I never had a dad so -- what the hell. It's just awesome, man. "
"I think that's nice," Leno said, giving Rodman a pat on his brightly clad shoulder.
From there, the host wisely moved on to less emotionally fraught territory, asking what Rodman what he thinks happened to the Lakers. Nevertheless, the former "Celebrity Rehab" cast member couldn't quite hold back the tears.
"It's a different era. I think Kobe has done his job. He's a great guy, his kids play with my kids, and my daughter is here. I'm so blessed that she's here," he said, choking up once again.

Romney catches up to Obama -- in more ways than one… Obama to hold press conference at 10:15 am ET… Breaking down Romney's VP possibilities if they were stocks… Romney's new response TV ad… New poll measuring the Latino vote shows Obama with a big lead… Romney campaigns in Iowa… And if you missed seeing Bachmann, Cain, and Santorum, you're in luck today at CPAC… And good news for Dems in North Dakota.
*** Catching up: If we learned two things this week, it's 1) that Team Obama was put on the defensive, and 2) that Team Romney has caught up in more ways than one. Indeed, this is the week Romney caught up in fundraising (his campaign and the RNC outraised Obama and the DNC, $76.8 million to $60 million), in some national and battleground state polls (the national FOX, EPIC-MRA in Michigan, and Purple Strategies' swing states), and even on the airwaves (the Romney camp is up in seven states versus the Obama camp's nine). As the GOP presumptive nominee, there was always a time when Romney was going to catch up; just see where John Kerry was at around this point in 2004. But that time is now.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd talks about the latest fundraising numbers as wells as advertising in key battleground states.
*** Obama to hold press conference: Against this backdrop -- his worst week of the campaign year coupled with Romney's best – President Obama today holds a mini-press conference in the White House briefing room at 10:15 am ET. The issues that are likely to come up: the economy, Europe, Syria. But it's also an attempt to wrest back control of the narrative a bit as the questions are likely to be a mix of both international and campaign. What's more, it's the first opportunity for the press corps to ask him about Wisconsin.
*** If the VP picks were stocks: With some possible Romney VP picks speaking at the CPAC gathering in Chicago (more on that below), we're introducing a way to look at Romney's running mate candidates. There are plenty of Top 10 lists out there, but what we're introducing is a way to look at their value -- much like a stock. Who is overvalued right now (in terms of risk vs. reward)? Who is underpriced? Who is priced correctly? Here are our thoughts:
The most expensive: Rob Portman, Marco Rubio. These guys -- right now -- would be your most expensive stocks to buy because they are being viewed both internally and externally as the clear-cut frontrunners. But you can argue the potential risk each brings has NOT been priced into their stock (Bush years for Portman, unvetted record for Rubio).
Other Overvalued Picks: Chris Christie, Bob McDonnell. These two governors get lots of attention, but maybe more attention than Team Romney is giving them as both present some downsides that too many in the media overlook.
Undervalued: Tim Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal, John Thune: If you were looking for a good deal, you would consider this category, especially Pawlenty, who was McCain's runner-up in 2008. All of these folks are probably under more serious consideration than the C.W. crowd believes.
Valued just about right: Kelly Ayotte, Paul Ryan, Susana Martinez. Their risks and rewards have all been priced about right by the C.W. crowd.
*** Romney's new response ad: In a response to this week's hard-hitting Obama TV ad that criticizes Romney's job-creation record in Massachusetts -- that it ranked 47th in the nation -- the Romney camp is up with its own ad. "As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney had the best jobs record in a decade," the ad goes. "Romney reduced unemployment to just 4.7%. "He balanced every budget without raising taxes. He did it by bringing parties together to cut through gridlock." Some quick facts: The unemployment rate in Massachusetts was 4.7% in Dec. 2006, which was Romney's last full month as governor, but that was higher than the nation's overall 4.4% rate. While the ad states that Romney balanced the budget without raising taxes, he raised revenues and fees as governor.
*** Measuring the Latino vote: Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney by a wide margin, 66-23%, according to a new Latino Decisions poll. And the poll looked at feelings among Latinos toward the Democratic DREAM Act shepherded by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) vs. Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) proposed bill, aka "DREAM Act Light." Latinos strongly preferred Durbin's. By an 87%-10% margin, Latinos had a favorable view of the Democratic version, as opposed to being split, 49%/46% for Rubio's. Then, they were asked which version they preferred. They said Democrats' by an 82%-13% margin.
*** On the trail: Romney holds an event in Council Bluffs, IA at 11:30 am ET, and then he heads to Utah, where he'll appear with Sen. Orrin Hatch at 4:25 pm ET and then hit a fundraiser.
*** If you missed seeing Bachmann, Cain, and Santorum, you're in luck: Conservatives are gathering in the Chicago area for another CPAC confab. (Is it just us, or does there seem to be a CPAC almost every few months? The national one, in DC, took place four months ago in February.) Here are some of the notable speakers: Rick Santorum (who has announced a new group, at 10:45 am ET, John Kasich at 11:15 am ET, Rand Paul (who just endorsed Romney) at 11:30 am ET, Chris Christie at noon ET, Herman Cain at 1:30 pm ET, Bobby Jindal at 2:45 pm ET, Bob McDonnell at 6:40 pm ET and Michele Bachmann at 6:40 pm ET.
*** Just askin': Why is it that Bill Clinton or Cory Booker going off-script becomes national news, but not when Sen. Lisa Murkowski disagrees with the GOP and Romney attacks on Solyndra, or when Jeb Bush praises Obama on education -- a subject on which Romney recently criticized the president? Are those things also going off-script?
*** Good news for Dems in North Dakota: This has been a tough week for Democrats, but they got some good news with a new Mason-Dixon poll out of North Dakota, which shows Heidi Heitkamp (D) running even with Rick Berg (R). In the poll, it's Heitkamp at 47% and Berg at 46%. Meanwhile, for the Indiana Senate race, the Dem groups American Bridge and Majority PAC are up with a new website, WhoIsRichardMourdock.com.
*** Rick Scott = George Wallace? As the drama in Florida continues to unfold over voter registration and voter roll purges, the influential Tampa Bay Times editorial page scolds Gov. Rick Scott (R), comparing him to Gov. George Wallace: "This June, the governor of another Southern state is challenging the federal government's authority. Nearly 50 years after Wallace's showdown, you are standing between Floridians and their right to vote as U.S. citizens. We agree that only citizens should vote, but your approach to cleaning up the voter rolls is fatally flawed. The U.S. Justice Department and county supervisors of election have reached the same conclusion and told you to stop, yet you persist."

Jessie Ginther and Jenny Cappiello both came up with big triples. Cappiello's triple scored our first run, then Ginther drove in three with her triple to put the icing on the cake for us."Taylor Schlimm was in command on the mound again today as she handcuffed the Brockway hitters.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Right-hander Dylan Bundy, the Baltimore Orioles top pick in the 2011 draft, made his first Grapefruit League start Saturday night, going two innings, giving up one unearned run on a hit and two walks with a strikeout.
Bundy, who was selected fourth overall and made his major league debut in September in Boston, earned the win as the Orioles beat the Red Sox 5-2.
"Not nearly as nervous as last year," Bundy said of his first spring training start after two relief appearances. "I'm more comfortable starting because that's what I've done all my life. Coming out of the pen, I wasn't nervous in spring training. In the big leagues, I came out of the pen."
For Orioles manager Buck Showalter, the outing was another step for Bundy.
"It was a good experience for him," Showalter said. "He's 20 years old. It was just another step in the process for him."
The Red Sox got a run in the second off Bundy. Will Middlebrooks walked with one out and scored when Mitch Maier's double to right was misplayed by Conor Jackson.
"Two walks. I'm never happy with that," Bundy said of his outing. "But I left a fastball up in the zone, and he hits it down the line. Two walks is what I'm concerned with."
Bundy was relieved by right-hander Kevin Gausman, the Orioles No. 1 pick — also fourth overall — in 2012. He went three scoreless innings, giving up two hits with three strikeouts.
"I felt good, and that's the biggest thing," Gausman said. "I felt comfortable out there. It was fun. It's always fun to go out there and pitch in a place that you haven't been. It's a great atmosphere, and fun to be out there."
It was the first time the Orioles' most recent No. 1 picks have pitched in the same game.
"It was cool," Gausman said. "Obviously, we're around each other every day. We paired in about every sense by Orioles fans. Obviously, it was cool. It was kind of cool to know what inning I was going to be throwing, and obviously, I was trying to watch him getting ready for the game and not be out of the pen."
Showalter was pleased with the performance of his two high-profile young pitchers.
"I thought they both pitched well," Showalter said. "I know the attention given to those two guys because of where they were drafted."
Boston left-hander Felix Doubront went three innings, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Doubront had been delayed at the start of spring by a shoulder ailment and conditioning issues.
"Better arm speed, better tempo to his overall game," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "A good step and progressive step. A good day for him."

PoliticoIn08 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
A well-executed, provocative design combining one of Christianity's most iconic images with one of 2008's most inspiring US presidential candidates, Barack Obama.
Desired Color Scheme:
Similar to the original Ecce Homo examples
Desired Style:
See Main Description
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The design should be an eloquent and well-executed re-creation of the iconic Ecce Homo pieces of art featuring the portrait of Jesus Christ (see links below for examples), but with 2008 U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's face. The purpose of the design is not meant to be inflammatory, demeaning or defacing. Rather, the purpose is to use a powerful and well-known image in a provocative way to help raise awareness of and support for Barack Obama. The design is meant to be a positive depiction of Barack as a potential "savior†to his supporters, to the U.S.A., and to the world.Â

Adjectives to describe the end-product should include:
- Primary – Wearable, inspiring, provocative, intriguing, edgy, discussion-worthy, inspirational, compelling, optimistic

Transferring / transfer "down" to Columbia« on: March 14, 2005, 09:24:41 PM »
I'm seriously thinking about transferring to Columbia from a higher ranked school. I was admitted there last year and I think I might have chosen the wrong school...its just not a great fit with my personality, interests and attitude. Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone here has transferred to CLS after earning mediocre 1L grades at a nominally better school (Stanford, Harvard, or Yale). Any comments on prospects and/or process will be most welcome.
