Department Web Accountability Policy
The purpose of this policy is to improve the coordination, accountability, and communication between staff supporting departmental web pages and the City's Central Web Team (CWT) by requiring departments to designate a person accountable for such coordination and communication.
The City's main public website (www.Seattle.Gov) is made up of over 80,000 individual web pages and growing. City departments develop and maintain their own departmental web pages while the CWT manages the overall look, feel and navigation of the site as a whole. Within departments, different groups may be responsible for the different aspects of a department's web pages including:
- writing and approving content
- layout, design, and graphical content
- standards compliance
- underlying supporting technology
Because of this distributed nature of web support it has become increasingly difficult to coordinate projects that involve all contributors to Seattle.Gov.
Affected Departments
This policy applies to all City departments.
Seattle.Gov is the City's official presence on the publicly accessible World Wide Web. It does not include the City's intranet, known as the InWeb.
Departments shall designate a management person responsible for coordinating all aspects of the department's web pages as it relates to Seattle.Gov as a whole. This individual shall be the department's single point of contact on all issues relating to City standards and policy compliance and Citywide web projects. This individual will be responsible for communicating information gathered in their role as the department's web representative to the relevant persons within their department. The following diagram shows how web-related information will flow.
This policy is effective with its adoption by the City's Business Management Council (BMC).
Upon adoption, departments will designate a department web representative.
The CWT is responsible for maintaining the list of department web representatives.
It is not anticipated that this policy will have a budgetary impact on affected departments. Rather, its intent is to formalize communication and accountability lines.
Exceptions to this policy shall be granted by the City's Chief Technology Officer.
Document Control
This policy is a product of the City's e-Government Steering Group of the BMC. It was adopted by the BMC on May 21, 2004 and shall be reviewed and modified as business needs require.
Version 1
May 21, 2004
Adopted by the BMC, author Sam Foucault

I have been happily reunited with my laptop computer, rescued and brought back from near-death by the good folks at NetCenergy. How did our ancestors survive without laptops?
First, let me thank the great people affiliated with the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in Saulsbury, North Carolina. Executive Director Dave Goren, who incidentally used to cover the PawSox telephoned the other night to tell me that I had been named the Rhode Island Sportscaster of the year for 2011. It is the third year in a row and the fifth time in the last 6 years I have won. Very humbling, especially when you gather with the other winners at the annual convention in the Spring. I want to congratulate my friend and colleague, Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times. "B-Mac" won his second consecutive Sportswriter of the year honor. Thanks also to my I.L. broadcasting brethren who have called and sent notes. Appreciate it.
Was thrilled to see the Sox bring catcher Kelly Shoppach back to the organization. "Shop" was an I.L. All Star with the PawSox in 2004 and 2005. He's been in the Big Leagues since then. Kelly is a talented hitter and very good defensive catcher. He's tough and has a nasty streak in him that should serve the Red Sox well.
In 2004, we were playing the Norfolk Tides and Scott Erickson was pitching for the visitors. I mentioned on the air that he was in a relationship with former New England Patriots cheerleader and ex-Monday Night Football sideline reporter, Lisa Guerrero. I also noted that she was once involved with former Pats quarterback, Hugh Millen. No big deal, and common knowledge to any local sports fan. I thought nothing of it until batting practice the next day. I was sitting in the home dugout at McCoy when Shoppach and fellow catcher, Andy Dominique started harrassing me. "Man, Hyder, that was some messed up stuff you were talkinjg about last night on the radio." Shoppach confronted me. I had no idea what he was talking about. Dominique chimed in "I better never hear you talking about any of our wives that way." I figured that one of them must have been in the clubhouse while I was talking about Erickson and Guerrero. "You guys are nuts." I defended myself. "I didn't say anything negative and it was all things that have been in the public." By now, a crowd of PawSox players began to gather around our argument and I knew I had better be able to defend myself, and win the argument or it could be a long season. With baseball players, there's a "pack" mentality involved, and a guy who wouldn't say "boo" ordinarily, finds strength in numbers, so slowly the noise level began to escalate.
Shoppach continued. "Seriously, Hyder, you better never even mention my girls' name on the air." I had a quick retort. "You mean after last week when you had me say 'hi' to her during a game?" That started the others laughing and teasing the burly catcher. Shoppach replied. "Y'all can laugh all ya want" he said as he dug in his heels. "But I guarantee if I hear it, no way you'll be able to broadcast the next night." The absurdity of his threat made me want to laugh. No time to back down, now. I had to win his respect and the respect of his teammates. Every now and then you come up with the right answer at just the right time. "Shopp- that may be so, but I guarantee you something, as well. Ain't no way you'll be able to catch that night, either."
Everyone, including Kelly, broke into laughter, diffusing the situation. Our relationship was solid from there on out. As I said before, I am glad he's back.
RIP Rick Hole. The former head baseball coach and Athletic Director at my alma mater, Rogers High School in Newport RI passed away on Sunday after a long and courageous battle against illness. Rick was my gym teacher who turned into a lifelong friend and mentor. Every year the highlight of my trip to Spring Training in Fort Myers, was the time I'd spend with him and his wife Jackie. I am really going to miss him.

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell and Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Good names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.
This has given rise to a problem, because the ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township has refused to make a cake for young Adolf's birthday.
"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.
The Campbells turned down the market's offer to make a cake with enough room for them to write their own inscription and can't understand what all of the fuss is about.
"ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," said Deborah Campbell, 25, who is Heath's wife of three years and the mother of the children. "That's sad."
Others, such as Anti-Defamation League director Barry Morrison, applauded Shop Rite's decision.
"Might as well put a sign around their (the children's) neck that says bigot, racist, hatemonger," said Morrison. "What's the difference?"
What do you think? Was ShopRite correct for refusing to personalize a cake for the Campbells? Feel free to comment below and take the time to vote in our online poll.
Also, check out a photo gallery from the Campbell family home.

I can make a leather martingale...though less room for embroidery. Here is one I made from latigo leather and it is 2", the 1.5" would be similar. The front would be the cordovan/burgundy specialty leather, the back strap could be the burgundy latigo
OMG... I MUST have one of those for Beast!!!
What are the choices???
I can either make it like the aboe with burgundy or black latigo leather, this is the regular collar leather. I have some realy nice stuff that feels like velvet but is strap leather, Katie has a collar made from it and can tell you.
Or I can use some of thi thinner specialty leathers, but the strap in the back will be latigo leather so black, burgundy, british tan and cognac are the available colors. these can eb embroidered as well.
for the front part..the non metallic/neon hides would work the best as they are thinner
let me know what you are thinking and we can go from there

The Baltimore Ravens have received a one-week roster exemption for cornerback Asa Jackson.
Jackson has completed a four-week suspension for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy and is eligible to play this week against the Denver Broncos. The roster exemption will allow Jackson to practice with the Ravens this week but the team will need to make a move to place him on the active roster in order to play Saturday against Denver.
Jackson was a fifth-round selection in last year's draft but had appeared in just three games for Baltimore this season before being suspended.

Education to Empower needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We are an educational nonprofit looking for a clean and memorable logo that reflects our brand. Our goal is to help parents and teachers empower children to grow into active citizens. The description for the brief contains a few ideas for the graphic portion of the logo.
Education to Empower
We want a logo to help build strong brand awareness and support our mission.
Our primary audience will be educators, parents and students.
We'd like them to feel like they've found an ally. We are here to help.
Keywords: Empowerment, Education, Citizenship, Philosophy, Learning, Children, Teachers, Power, Allies.
The nonprofit itself is dedicated to fostering innovative programs to provide youth with the confidence and skills to become active participants in civic life. Our flagship program will incorporate philosophy into elementary schools.
Some ideas for the graphic portion of the logo:
(I like this idea the most) A Chalkboard with the word Empower on it
"EtE": The first E is green with an apple stalk, the second E is orange with yellow sun-rays
An open book with sun rays shooting up
An open book with hand-prints above it
Here are a few examples of some logos I liked:
- Children's Progress Contest (I like this one the best)
- Freedom Soft Contest
- Yembri Contest (minus the reflections and gray background/outline. I like the image for #212 on the left, and the font for #211 on the right)If in doubt, assume the primary audience will be teachers and interested college students/volunteers.
- all capital letters or all lowercase letters
- reflections
- swooshes
- the graphic to obscure the logo
- lettering that is overly thin
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

That doesn't make sense, does it?
Anyway, here you are: Cafe ZILL.
UUUUUUPDATE! Zill closed for about a year (despite the lady saying that it would only be closed for three months to me) and when it reopened it was a lot fancier and now only opens in the evenings for dinner. So I can't go there for lunch and check it out. It looks very nice in the evenings though, so I'm sure it's still great. I'll post again if I ever go there but for now I'll leave this here for posterity and take away the tags.
ZILL is on Gyokei Dori which is a nice shopping street that cuts through the - what I like to call - null zone in the middle of the street car loop. Is that a bad way to put it? I'm sure there's all sorts of awesome stuff tucked away in that area (Yamahana, I guess?) but the fact that it's off the subway line (Horohirabashi on the Namboku line is the closest station) and hemmed in by the street car line makes me always think of it as a kind of 'heart of darkness' or perhaps a 'dark country' whose borders it is perilous to cross. It is neither. It is a nice suburban neighbourhood nestled up next to the city centre and now I work there one day a week.
And on that day I go looking for somewhere to eat lunch, and it didn't take me long to find ZILL. ZILL seems to be subtitled both "Soul Soup Shop" and "Creative Lounge" which should give you a good idea what it's like. It's a cozy little cafe, heavy on the dark wood and vintage furnishings (perhaps a little too dark? that doesn't seem to be a problem around here - every branch of Miyakoshiya Coffee feels like they've carved the walls from the darkest of dark chocolate), and the kind of place where you can buy handmade bags alongside the regular cafe stuff.
It's a divinely relaxing place, a lot like Nesco in Kita-Ku, and as such perfect for a slow lunch on a crazy day. Unlike Nesco though, their music kind of sucks. The guy at Nesco plays an amazing mix of down tempo contemporary indie, most of which I don't know, whereas ZILL tends to play those annoying CDs of lounge and bossanova covers of pop and rock songs. Fuck, I'm coming to hate those CDs. Well, clearly that's an exaggeration, because the music never stops me enjoying reading a book in ZILL.
I've been there quite a few times now, and I almost always get something that looks like this:
That's the lunch set. They offer soup, sandwich and rice-ball, and you can choose whichever you like and if it comes to more than 800yen they throw in a free tea or coffee. That's really not bad, and the food is really great. That's a squash potage and cheese omelette sandwich there and both were far better than anything I normally eat during my working day. One criticism would be that their sandwiches are great, but really difficult to eat. One time I got a full sized sandwich and it was HUGE, and so impractically constructed that I made a thorough mess of myself trying to eat it. Chalk that one up to some places in Japan making fancy sandwiches following some theoretical concept of 'the sandwich', that end up as something involving bread and filling that falls into this void between 'closed' and 'open-face'. I've given this too much thought, but then, I give everything too much thought.
So I don't like the music and their sandwiches are tricky, but those aren't serious criticisms and ZILL is a weekly godsend for me. All of the food is delicious, the coffee that I tried was good and it's a really nice, warm place to relax. It's out of the way of most people I would imagine, but if you're in the area, check it out. And of course it's on the map!

© Another Day in the Country
In our family households, we have two sets of chickens. They are separate sets because they are related by birth (or hatching date) and not thrown together by circumstance. In the Alpha House or the house in my back yard, live Mary's small family of half Aracauna, half bantam type chicks that she hatched out (a couple of years ago) after having set for weeks and weeks (desperately) on a clutch of mostly unfertilized eggs after she was left as the one and only hen thanks to neighborhood dogs.
During February, this year, Dove, one of her chicks decided to set and she hatched out five little fluff-balls but only managed to raise one — a strange, long-legged cock who became the house outcast.
In the Omega House across the street are the chicks that I got a year ago, August, after the spring-hatched chicks from my favorite hatchery had been offed by a neighbors dogs, yet again.
Ever since I was gone this summer and my sister stepped into the shoes of straw boss for the chickens, she has bonded with them, so to speak, and found that she is rather fond of interacting with chickens. She loves the fact that they look forward to seeing her, they come running when they are out in the yard, and she showers them with goodies in return — even going so far as to chop up veggies that are deemed "past their prime", just for the chickens.
For a while, after my sudden exit to California, I was concerned about Jess and the chickens because King Tut, one of our roosters that I'd actually ordered, a regal Single Comb Brown Leghorn, (who was my favorite, by the way) decided he didn't like Jess. We'd never had a mean rooster before, so I was surprised that this guy would attempt to "take on" Jess. He scared her to death, at first. One neighbor counseled, "kick him," which she did "like a football," she reported to me, "but he'd just come back for more." They managed an uneasy truce, but we decided to give him, and three of his hen-friends, to Jay next door. Peace finally reigned in chickdom with Earl Gray, our Aracauna rooster, who'd been very much second in command, now head of household.
Home again, I take care of the chickens in my yard and Jess takes care of her Omega buddies. On nice days, when we're around all day, we enjoy letting the chickens out in their respective yards. For us, seeing the chickens contentedly searching for insects in the yard or languidly dust bathing, is one of the joys of having chickens — that and gathering eggs. Since we don't let them out every day and I tend to get distracted doing projects, Jess often asks in the evening, "Did you shut up your chickens?" Well, the other evening, she didn't and I didn't.
At 4 a.m. I heard a chicken squawk and my feet hit the floor. I'd forgotten to shut the door of the pen. I grabbed a flashlight and ran for the chicken house. The Alpha House was empty. I searched the yard with my meager beam and found a few feathers but no dead chickens until way out at the edge of the yard by the blackberry bush there was a white heap — it was Cocky-lock.
"I can't just let him lay out here," I mourned, picking him up by his feet, "I'll put him in the chicken house and bury him in the morning."
He was still warm, so this catastrophe really had just happened. I laid his body on the henhouse floor and shut the door — too little, too late. Then I played the flashlight beam once more around the pen — was that a chicken? I found two more wet soggy heaps of feathers with hens inside, immobile but still alive — their eyes blinked. My heart jumped for joy — all was not lost by my negligence. I felt so guilty. These poor chickens, scared to death, killed because of my forgetfulness — it was all my fault. I looked once more at the body of Cocky-lock, "Was he still alive?" He'd moved his head, I'm sure; but how badly was he hurt. I had a hard time getting back to sleep.
The next morning, early, I heard Cocky-lock crow. Looking out the window I saw him strutting around the chicken pen. Back snug in my bed, I rejoiced for the three still alive and mourned for the three that I'd lost. It's terrible knowing something was harmed by my neglect whether that's a person or an animal. I have to be more careful.
Later, as I watered the pots on the front porch I looked across the street and saw Mary and Dove cautiously coming out from under the big cedar tree.
Mary was cackling with alarm, "You have figured out," she scolded with that certain look in her beady eye, "that you put us all in grave danger by forgetting to close that gate!"
I apologized profusely, coaxed her home, assuring her that she was safe here.
It's another day in the country, and we only lost Long Legs in our brush with night-time raiders. We were very lucky and I have vowed to watch all things that I'm responsible for with a much more vigilant eye.

A south-east London filmmaker's first feature is set to get a world premiere in London after being painstakingly remastered.
Greenwich-based Irish writer and director John Walsh made Monarch, a film about Henry VIII set over one night and based partly on fact, at Charlton House in 1996.
It starred Irish actor TP McKenna, whose long TV and film career included the Dustin Hoffman movie Straw Dogs, Lovejoy and being the last ever suspect interviewed by John Thaw in Inspector Morse.
Critics were positive about Monarch, with the Radio Times giving it four stars and the New York Times describing it as a 'confident, brave, impressive debut'.
BAFTA nominated John thought that the original negatives had been lost but 52 cans of footage were recently found in a vault and a drawn-out process of bringing it into high definition began.
John said: "This was not simply a case of running the film through a telecine machine."
After the footage was found and the relevant reels identified, extensive cleaning and restoration began.
He said: "Every frame of film was scanned in high definition and had over ten thousand particles removed by hand.
"Along with this a new 5.1 sound mix was created from the original elements. The film is now looking and sounding clearer and sharper than ever before."
He added: "Some films, like Monarch are still out there to be found. Perhaps they have been mislabelled or are in a vast vault that has not been checked for years.
"Either way the HD processing of my film will "future-protect" it and will give today's audiences the chance to see the wonderful performance of Jean Marsh and the towering presence of TP McKenna, regarded as one of the greats of his generation and rightly so in one of his most outstanding performances."
The remastered version of Monarch will receive a world premiere at Tricycle Cinema in Kilburn, complete with a Q and A session with John, on September 14.

Of course it benefits him if he defeats the heretic gods to prevent more catastrophes. But he's not someone who'd ask something in return. What if he fails into despair because of something and simply gave up fighting to save the day? Would you always say that it benefits him to fight god because he'll be affected by the catastrophes the gods do if he does not fight so there is no need to be grateful for him?
I'm grateful for the Allied for winning WW2 although they cared so little about the Asians like me during that time. They dropped the bomb anywhere near Japanese base and a lot of innocent people killed or lost their home. But it's far better than being conquered by the fanatic Japanese Imperial Army during that time. We almost had no means to fight against the Japanese then...
Of course, I think that the Allied probably didn't care about our life that much... But we stood no chance against the Japanese during that time and could only hope the Allied would get rid of them for us. It'd be much more worse if we were to fight against the Japanese by ourselves. Approximately 30M people were killed by Japanese during WW2, most of which are Chinese (according to Chinese claim). I don't know what would happen if the Allied just simply decided to abandon us to face hell alone, like they did to Poland...

To get a break from kleeyok's endless bitching (seriously, why do are you still here if Campione annoys you so much?):
I LOVE the girls. Most of all Yuri, Erica, Liliana and Ena. Oh, wait, that's all of them.
Yuri is badass in ways the other girls can't begin to match and it's too adorable when she teases Godou. They have a really nice chemistry going on between them and reading it just makes me smile.
Erica is badass and the way she gets jealous when the other girls get close to Godou... it's just cute. She loves him, it shows, and it's awesome.
Liliana is badass and the fulfillment she gains from being around Godou just makes me smile. And her. That's greatness of character.
Ena is badass and believe it or not, even more badass. Her badassness took the cake at first, Erica took it from her, and then Ena took it back tenfold and added a cookie on top. She may have received the least changes in character over time, but she doesn't even need to change. She's okay the way she is and once she does change... I might fall fer her all over again.

^^ Sorry Kadi, I kind of agree with you but I kind of can't agree fully...
I don't hate this series either. It's just that the irony of the characters' action kinda make me think that it's weird...

I totally agree about everything you say about the girls, though I've been thinking lately that I'd really love to see some developments in their relationships with each other, particularly Erica and Lili and Erica and Ena.

(I share your misgivings about the early volumes and especially how Godou acted there, but considering how much I love the later volumes...)

It is wrong now because the casts have all undergone character development.
You see, the characters improve. There's character development in this series, but some characters seem to point out the fault of others which they previously have without thinking back how they used to be (Erica and Bianchi, Lucretia and Alec, any campione against each other). Goudo seems to realize the irony himself though.
And soon we'll see the irony how Shizuka telling Goudo that he's gonna grow up to be like the grandpa (which Goudo responds he'll never become someone like Ichirou) while she herself will just grow to be like her mom (which she'll just respond "I'll never become someone like her").
The whole Kuzanagi family can just excuse themselves with "It's not my fault that I'm popular!".
The examples of something like this can be found in this LN. I even think that the author purposefully wrote it like that...

PR2 Beta Sites: Spotlight on Bosch
Developing the Personal Robotics Market: Enabling New Applications Through Novel Sensors and Shared Autonomy
Limited access to quality robotics research platforms is one significant obstacle to the development of new robotics applications. Bosch's PR2 Remote Lab will extend access to the PR2 platform to additional research labs which did not receive their own PR2. Of course, Bosch also has its own plans for its PR2 beyond sharing it with the rest of the world. The robotics team at the Bosch Research and Technology Center North America (RTC) will focus on developing solutions for the personal robotics market by making robots safer, affordable and capable. The Bosch robotics team in Palo Alto closely collaborates with experts from Bosch Corporate Research based in Stuttgart, Germany, who bring in additional expertise in sensing, signal processing and manufacturing.
Bosch plans to integrate its latest sensor technology in the PR2 to explore new applications and lower costs. These sensors include accelerometers, gyros, force sensors, air pressure sensors and a new near range sensing system. These sensors will also be shared with other PR2 Beta Sites.
In the long run, Bosch is focused on developing the robotics market. That means building affordable robots that work reliably in complex environments – not an easy task. One approach to this problem that Bosch will explore is shared autonomy: including a human in the loop to help out on those tasks still too difficult for a robot to quickly or reliably complete on its own. The goal is to combine the strengths of autonomous systems and human operators to improve performance and reduce the cost of commercial systems.
Bosch has been a contributor to ROS since March 2009. They will extend their 3D reconstruction work, previously mentioned here, to ROS and the PR2. This will allow the PR2 to build accurate, textured 3D models of its environment.
See the Bosch press release here.
The Team
The Bosch team combines the expertise of researchers with a background in computer science, mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering with the corporate expertise in sensing, perception, signal proccessing and manufacturing. Several team members are also active in the Stanford Racing Team working on autonomous vehicles.
- Jan Becker: Principal Investigator
- Christian Bersch: Planning, Perception
- Charles DuHadway: Shared Autonomy, Remote Lab
- Benjamin Pitzer: 3D Reconstruction, Remote Lab
- Soeren Kammel: 3D Perception, Image Processing
- Lukas Marti: Sensors, Signal Processing
The team also includes some great interns: Hao Dang (Columbia), Adam Stambler (Rutgers), Michael Styer (Stanford), Joerg Wagner and Sebastian Haug (both Stuttgart). Researchers at other Bosch locations will also contribute to the project.
Below is a video of Jan Becker presenting Bosch's proposal to the rest of the PR2 Beta Program participants. You can download the slides as PDF.

The action sequences, the background music, the dramatic sliced-up dialogue...it all feels like something I should be watching with sour patch kids in hand while waiting for my movie to start. It's not necessarily a good or bad thing. Just my feeling.
But the video above is not a movie trailer. It's the latest trailer for EA/Visceral Games' next title in the Dead Space series. For those concerned that Dead Space 3 will be too actiony, this trailer won't really convince you otherwise. But the appearance of hallucinations and mentions of mindfucks feels like a nod in the right direction.
Just last month our own Stephen Totilo lamented that we still haven't seen enough of this game. EA is keeping relatively tight-lipped on this one. This trailer isn't much, but it's at least two-minutes' worth of Necromorphs and space suits.

PocketESN Checks To Make Sure Your Used Phone Was Not Stolen
Posted by Craig Horlacher in "Android Software" @ 10:00 AM
"Buying used Android phones can save you a bunch of money, but there are a few things you should check out before forking over your hard-earned cash."
PocketESN is an app that will let you check to make sure a phone was not stolen or anything like that. For free it will check the status of the phone it's installed on. The paid version, for $5.99, will let you check the status of as many phones as you want. It requires an internet connection to work but it can be over WiFi so you can do this before activating the phone and having the police come after you for buying a stolen one. PocketESN should work with any CDMA Android phone.
I don't usually recommend buying used phones since these days you can usually get a good new phone for free or nearly so under contract. Also, with a new phone you get a new battery and that alone is sometimes worth what you pay over a used phone. Still, there are definitely deals out there if you're willing to buy used.

After being left out of recent consolidation in the industry, car rental company Avis Budget (NASDAQ:CAR) unveiled a $500 million deal on Wednesday to drive away with up-and-coming car-sharing firm Zipcar (NASDAQ:ZIP).
Continue Reading Below
Avis agreed to pay $12.25 a share in cash for Zipcar, which has more than 760,000 members and over 10,000 vehicles in the U.S., Canada and a few countries in Europe. The offer price represents a 49% premium on Zipcar's Monday close of $8.24.
"We see car sharing as highly complementary to traditional car rental, with rapid growth potential and representing a scalable opportunity for us as a combined company," Avis CEO Ronald Nelson said in a statement. "We expect to apply Avis Budget's experience and efficiencies of fleet management with Zipcar's proven, customer-friendly technology to accelerate the growth of the Zipcar brand."
The Zipcar acquisition comes after Avis previously lost a battle to acquire rival Dollar Thrifty to Hertz (NYSE:HTZ).
If regulators and shareholders approve the Zipcar deal, Avis expects the acquisition will add to its non-GAAP earnings in the second year.
Avis said it sees "significant revenue growth opportunities," including by leveraging its own fleet to better meet Zipcar's weekend demand.
The companies said they expect the transaction to close in the spring of 2013 and generate $50 million to $70 million in annual synergies. Avis said it sees "significant" cost cutting "across the fleet life cycle" and from eliminating Zipcar's public-company costs.
"By combining Zipcar's expertise in on-demand mobility with Avis Budget Group's expertise in global fleet operations and vast global network, we will be able to accelerate the revolution we began in personal mobility," said Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith.
As part of the deal, Avis will operate Zipcar as a subsidiary and maintain Zipcar's planned move to a new headquarters in Boston. Avis also said it "anticipates" key Zipcar execs staying on board, including Griffith and Mark Norman, the company's president and chief operating officer.
Avis said it will pay for the deal through incremental corporate debt borrowings and cash on hand, which totaled about $554 million as of the end of September 2012.
Wall Street cheered the deal as shares of Zipcar surged 47.94% to $12.19 Wednesday. Parsippany, N.J.-based Avis rallied 3.03% to $20.42.
Citigroup (NYSE:C) served as an advisor to Avis, while Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) advised Zipcar.

All Michael Phelps knows how to do is WIN -- the world's most medaled man hit Vegas this week ... and sources tell TMZ he walked off with $100,000 from a single poker game.
Phelps has been touring the world with his buddies since scooping up 6 Olympic medals -- starting in the Maldives -- and last weekend, the crew took on Sin City.
According to our sources, Phelps and his buds played a cash poker game at Caesar's Palace, and naturally ... Phelps cleaned up with $100K in winnings.
We're told Michael blew a nice chunk of it at Surrender nightclub in the Wynn -- which is not nearly as exciting as Prince Harry's night at that hotel.
Step up your game, Phelps!

Marisa Wayne has a tone of pride when she tells the story about how her father broke into show business and became a movie star and an American icon.
It makes sense for her to be proud. Her father is John Wayne.
"He played football for USC," said Marisa Wayne, the youngest of the Duke's seven children. "But when he was body surfing he hurt his shoulder and lost his scholarship for USC. He had to get a side job. He started with work as a prop man for the studios. He did parts here and there, caught the eye of John Ford and the rest is history."
Wayne spoke about her father's connection to football to demonstrate her love for her father as well as her passion for athletics and fitness.
She has gone into business with Candice Collings and Matt Bourne to manage indoor cycling fitness centers. The three came up with a name as a tribute to John Wayne, naming it GRIT.
They are excited as they look forward to a grand opening event they'll have Thursday night at the new GRIT Cycle center, 1731 Santa Ana Ave. in Costa Mesa.
They are having fun with it, as they'll roll out a red carpet and create a party theme.
They want to welcome members of the community and introduce them to what they believe is a smart, quick, social-oriented way to stay in shape.
There was another reason they named the fitness center GRIT, other than the reference to the famous John Wayne movie "True Grit."
Marisa Wayne said she just really liked the definition of grit.
"It's the passion and perseverance to achieve one's goal," Marisa Wayne said. "You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't have the grit, you won't make it. You have to have that grit."
Spin classes are a great way to burn calories, said Bourne, who enjoys that type of fitness.
"Cycling is important in many different ways," Bourne said. "It's not as hard on your knees as running. In 45 minutes you can burn about a thousand calories and not even realize it was 45 minutes. Instead of going to happy hour, you can see your friends here. Indoor cycling is taking the world by storm right now actually."
Collings likes to say people's only enemy is the couch. She said GRIT can be for the youth, young adults and older people, basically everyone.
She said the concept of GRIT has been more than a year in the making. Collings has provided great energy for GRIT during that time.
"We started this because we wanted to open a fitness center that didn't just focus on the individual but focused on the community," said Collings, who like Marisa Wayne (Class of 1984), is a Newport Harbor High alumna (Class of 1999). "It's our goal to make the community a healthier place."
Collings, Marisa Wayne and Bourne also want to give back and support wellness-minded local programs, such as the Newport-Mesa Unified School District and the Newport-Mesa YMCA. They've created GRIT Gives, which will sponsor a different community program every month, donating $1 from every class purchase to a specific program.
They'll announce the first recipient of the GRIT Gives sponsorship program on Thursday night during the grand opening that starts at 6:30. The fitness center will also be a place for charity events, Collings said.
"A single class is $20 but $1 goes to like-minded programs," Collings said. "For the price of two martinis at happy hour you can come just be social and get healthy at the same time. It's a great social event. It's a bit of therapy. If your children are being trying or your husband is making you crazy, a lot of people go to spin. You can just take it out on the bike."

NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology - Is the PC Ready of HD Video?
PureVideo HD Introduction
High-Definition Video: HD-DVD and BluRay
If there has been one technology through 2006 that has been more hyped up and anticipated than any other, it would definitely be high-definition video and its arrival to consumers as the next big thing in TV, and movie watching. While HD quality videos have been available for some time online for movie trailers, etc, the use of higher resolution video has been fairly slow to expand because of the amounts of bandwidth required for high bit-rate movies at 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolutions. Coming into the summer of 2006 there were two competing formats for a high-definition video disc format for consumer purchase: Toshiba's HD-DVD and Sony's Blu-ray.
Now, this isn't an editorial that is going to attempt to compare HD-DVD and Blu-ray, or talk about the space advantages of one or the other; instead we are here to look at both HD-DVD and Blu-ray can and do function on the PC in today's market. Is the time right to introduce a home theater PC (HTPC) into your home when you see that the set-top box (STB) Blu-ray player from Samsung is retailing at $999? Can the PC hardware from CPU and GPU manufacturer's compare with the same visual quality and user experience that the Toshiba and Sony STBs can offer?
We'll be answering those questions and much more in our look at NVIDIA's PureVideo HD technology and CyberLink's PowerDVD HD-DVD Edition software.
What is PureVideo HD?
PureVideo HD is NVIDIA's marketing term for all the technologies that they have created in order to deal with the complexities of HD video and to increase image quality wherever possible. NVIDIA includes GPU-based hardware acceleration for decoding HD movie formats, post-processing of HD video for enhanced images, built-in HDCP support at the card level. At the software level you have user-friendly applications as well as seamless integration of all these features into the most popular PC-based DVD playback software.
Click to Enlarge
Nearly two years ago I took a detailed look at the origial version of PureVideo which was created to increase the quality of NVIDIA's video playback on PC including standard DVDs. All of those features have been carried over through the years, and improved on, so that NVIDIA's standard definition video quality is matching or beating the best in the industry. PureVideo HD though steps into a new world of high-definition video where the file sizes can stetch up to 50GB on a single Blu-ray disc with video encoding bit rates upwards of 40 Mbps! The processing required for these movies is very high, and in some cases even the top end Intel Core 2 Duo processors can't keep up with the decoding process, resulting in dropped frames and a disappointed viewer. Using the power of NVIDIA's 7-series GPUs though, NVIDIA and its software partners are able to off-load much of the processing and allow the CPU to work on other operating system tasks.

All of this equates to getting a better viewing experience with your HD movies and our tests on the following pages will evaluate how well NVIDIA accomplished it.
PureVideo HD Logo Process
NVIDIA has gone one step further with their PureVideo HD program and introduced a "logo process" that attempts to keep users from making bad purchasing choices when looking to buy or build an HTPC. By looking for an NVIDIA PureVideo HD logo, user's can be sure that all of their items will have been tested and approved for use with NVIDIA's technology.
Video cards with NVIDIA 7- or 8-series GPUs that have HDCP support on them and support H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 acceleration will get the logo on the box. Blu-ray and HD-DVD drives that support AACS (advanced access content system) for movie playback can have the PureVideo HD logo on them as well. Software such as InterVideo's WinDVD and CyberLink's PowerDVD that support Blu-ray and/or HD-DVD and also have built in support for NVIDIA hardaware acceleration will be able to display the logo. Finally, HDCP ready displays like Dell's E207WFP 24" can choose to display NVIDIA's PureVideo HD logo as well. For a full system to get approval for the PureVideo logo, it must hit on all of the above mentioned requirements (hardware, software, and display) and NVIDIA also recommends a dual-core CPU with 1GB of system memory.
While all of this might seem a bit confusing at first, NVIDIA's PureVideo HD logo program is trying to make it easier for the end user. All you would have to do is go to your local PC store and look for the NVIDIA PureVideo HD logo on a HTPC system or on the components in order to build your own. Pop on over to your favorite e-tailer and look for a graphics card, monitor, optical drive and software application that all sport the PureVideo HD logo and you'll be getting components that have been tested and basically guaranteed by NVIDIA. Installing a set of these components into your own HTPC should basically set you up for all the HD-DVD / Blu-ray action you could ask for.

Few notes to pass along before Hiroki Kuroda and Oliver Perez — making his first start since May 2 — face off in New York.
31-year-old outfielder Mitch Jones, who spent 16 days with the big club and was designated for assignment last Thursday, cleared waivers and has been sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Two more picks from the June draft have signed with the Dodgers in the last week: lanky high-school righthander Brandon Martinez and Oklahoma catcher Jeremy Wise. The Dodgers took Wise in the fifth round at 157th overall; Martinez — who's yet to turn 18 — was a seventh-round selection.
Lastly, our Clay Fowler has a nice feature on Matt "The Bison" Kemp, who's currently in fourth place out of five candidates in the MLB Final Vote campaign. Find out how to vote here.
4:10 p.m. PST first pitch tonight.

[Illinois] CNST 2012: Applied Nanotechnology for Foodborne Pathogen and Toxin Detection
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
CNST Workshop 2012
May 2–3, 2012
Showcasing University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, and nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, leading to cross-campus and industry collaborations
National Center for Supercomputing Applications Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) workshop is to showcase University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/ nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, and computational nanotechnology/nanomechanics.
The general framework of the nanotechnology workshop is similar to those held on campus since 2003; which were all well attended by industry and academia. Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations. The CNST-led forums and workshops have contributed tremendously toward the formation of multidisciplinary teams leading to the establishment of multimillion dollar new nanotechnology centers on-campus. The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations. The workshop brings together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) from UIUC and other academic institutions, and industry engaged in cutting-edge research. A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development in nanotechnology and regional partnerships.
Established in 2001–02, the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) is the premier center for nanotechnology research, education and training, and entrepreneurial and outreach activities.
CNST draws its strength from working as a collaboratory involving the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, Coordinated Science Laboratory,Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, Institute for Genomic Biology, Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Center for Nanoscale Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Systems, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Schools of Chemical Sciences and of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and other multidisciplinary centers.
It brings together nanoscale research from across the campus, drawing faculty from engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, neuroscience, agriculture, medicine, and other areas. The center envisions seamless integration of research from materials to devices to systems and applications. CNST is uniquely located to harness the entrepreneurial and technical spirit in downstate Illinois, with ongoing linkages with the University Research Park, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the State legislature. Industrial and international linkages have also been initiated through multidisciplinary centers. In addition, CNST has embarked on developing a curriculum for nanotechnology education, which will transcend a number of campus departments and units. Exceptional students with interest in nanotechnology projects have been awarded fellowships, as the center prepares the next generation workforce. CNST-led efforts have led to leveraging of existing nanotechnology research labs into also hands-on training sites for molecular and cellular biology, mechanobiology, micro and nanofabrication, and enabling technologies, and tissue engineering.

Today's beer industry is dominated by a handful of large macro-brand corporations such as the 'big four' brewers: Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch InBev, London-listed SABMiller, Heineken, and Denmark's Carlsberg. Between them, they control half of the global beer market.
Still mass-market beer sales are falling in Western Europe and the United States.Only "craft beer" from independent breweries is growing, by 11 percent in the United States, with the number of new brewers globally up by 16 percent in 2011 over the previous year.
This is backed up by the consumer experience of the beers. The RateBeer Best 2012annual beer competition was again the largest in the world—more than 140,000 beers from over 12,000 brewers worldwide were tallied. The contest was open to all breweries including the big players, but only craft beers made the top 50.
Unlike other beer contests, the competition largely involves tasting commercial samples, rather than special batches prepared for festivals. A beer's score is based on its percentile rankingamong all beers. Every beer also has a "style" score.
The success of these microbreweries has led to larger breweries lining up to swallow them. In March 2011, Anheuser-Busch bought Goose Island, one of the largest American microbrewers.
Craft brewers account for only about five percent of the US market, but that may be changing. Click ahead to experience the world's most highly rated beers.

Does the path to clean, safe water lead through a brewery?
Andy Wales, head of sustainable development at global brewer SABMiller, maintains it can happen. The maker of Miller beer — and 20 other brands, from Aguila in Colombia to Zolotaya Bochka Klassicheskoye in Russia — likes the environmental angle, but the main impetus is to ensure production of their products in what is a highly variable business from location to location.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
We are attending Christ at the Checkpoint this week to report first hand in our upcoming magazine regarding this conference that takes aim at Christian Zionism and its theology of the Land.
Having been asked by several readers about the participation in Christ at the Checkpoint by Jerusalem-based pastor Wayne Hilsden of King of Kings Assembly, we want to address Wayne's speech and the reaction to it, as far as we could see.
Wayne delivered a passionate discourse that was both firm and gentle. It was a great example for those wishing to present the case of Israel's restoration to Christians who may still be on the fence regarding the Jewish state.
Most notably, Hilsden stated that a physical return of the Jews to their ancient homeland is biblically mandated, and, according to the prophetic timeline, that physical restoration as a nation-state must precede the spiritual restoration of Israel's collective heart to God.
Hilsden likened the current situation to a painter working on a masterpiece. In its unfinished state, the painting may appear messy, but the artist (God) is saying, 'Hold on...' Perhaps most significantly, given the setting, was that there were no instances in Hilsden's speech of "We support Israel, but..."
Wayne's full speech can be viewed here:
Wayne received applause from the audience following his address, and several of the day's other speakers and presenters expressed satisfaction with what he had said. However, the very next speaker, Dr. Manfred Kohl, laid into Wayne's theology in no uncertain terms.
While he did not address Wayne personally, Kohl labeled the literal reading of scripture Hilsden had just presented as the theology of fools who delight in their own idiocy.
"How can [Christians] be so stupid in their interpretation of the Bible and at the same time be so excited about our interpretation?" asked Kohl. "Apparently the two expressions are not mutually exclusive."
The day's MC, Sami Awad, who had before thanked Wayne for his speech, then backed up Kohl's position by saying it was time for Christians who use the Bible to support Israel's restoration to stand before the security wall in Bethlehem and, similar to John F. Kennedy before the Berlin Wall, declare, "I am an idiot."
At the question and answer session following the morning speeches, it became evident that Hilsden was being used as Messianic "window dressing" for the conference's true agenda of attacking Zionist support for Israel.
After fielding an unrelated question, Kohl turned to Hilsden and requested that he deliver his speech to Western churches that support Israel. In light of Kohl's own stated positions, it was clear he had either ignored or brushed aside the more substantive parts of Hilsden's speech.
Furthermore, while Hilsden presented it in a more diplomatic and gentle manner than some, the core of his message is already known and accepted by Israel-supporting churches. That Kohl and the other speakers believed Hilsden's views would alter Christian support for Israel signaled they had only digested those parts that could be meshed with their own theologies.
Later in the day, Rev. Stephen Sizer, whose disdain for Israel and Christian Zionism is well documented, addressed American Messianic leaders who had expressed concerns over Christ at the Checkpoint by pointing to Hilsden's participation as justifying the conference's program.
"Thankfully numerous local Messianic leaders have ignored your tantrums and are presently enjoying fellowship with their Palestinian brothers and sisters here at the conference," wrote Sizer. (He later changed the word "tantrum" to "warning" after being criticized online)
Wayne Hilsden's participation in Christ at the Checkpoint is still being hotly debated in some Messianic circles in Israel. Nearly all agree that he spoke light in a dark situation, and did so with grace, but many fear he is being made a fig leaf for the anti-Zionist message of the conference organizers and the majority of the speakers.

New Alien: Isolation Screens Features One Sneaky Monster
In 'Aliens,' they were coming out of the walls, but in these new Alien: Isolation screens, the lone Xenomorph menace is lurking out of sight.
Much like Ridley Scott's haunting original, Alien: Isolation seeks to rebuild the space slasher by focusing on the environment and atmosphere in order to help terrorize fans the most. Based on these newest screenshots, it looks as if the team at Creative Assembly is well on the way to living up to Scott's precedent.
Since Isolation seeks to reintroduce aspects of the original 'Alien' film, your character (Ripley's daughter) is trying to fend off an alien attack on her lonesome and with limited supplies. Instead of assault rifles, you will simply have the hardware you find on a cargo ship. Instead of a military-grade motion-tracker like Hicks had in the sequel, you have a makeshift one that you made on the ship. If you look at these screenshots closely, you can actually see where the alien is almost blending into his environment perfectly (hint: look at the motion tracker in all of the pictures).
As always, the alien and atmosphere both mess with your head in order to keep your stress levels at the max. So expect to find bloody corpses, dismembered androids (will an android in Isolation betray this Ripley as well?), hissing pipes and lots of shadows.
Alien: Isolation is expected to be out around the end of the year for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC.
